Dignity in death

White doves and blue uniforms bid Baby Isabella good-bye By Russ Tarby Though she lived for less than a day, Isabella Marie has made a lasting impression on the village where she was born and buried. The infant—who was found dead, wrapped in a towel and placed in a trash bin outside a Pearl Street apartment complex on Jan 6—was buried Saturday March 26 at Liverpool Cemetery following a funeral service at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church. “We wanted her to be buried with full dignity and respect,” said Liverpool Police Chief Bill Becker. “We didn’t want her to be just a marker up at Potter’s Hill.” When people see Isa-

bella Marie’s gravestone, they’ll notice she lacks a last name. So the gravesite will remind people of the infant’s tragic story, Becker said, and may encourage them to help deter child abuse in the future. The Liverpool Police Department had named the newborn and organized Saturday’s funeral. A dozen uniformed LPD officers attended the service along with another two dozen or so law enforcement officers and emergency medical personnel from other area agencies. LPD Det. Mike Lemm and Officer Ken Hatter acted as pallbearers and delivered the service’s initial readings from Scripture. Lemm’s lines from Revelations promised both “a new heaven and a new earth,” while Hatter’s New Testament Please see Isabella, page 13

Local father pens first children’s book By Caitlin Donnelly
editor@eaglestarreview.com When Glenn Wright’s son, Bradley, became terrified of sleeping in his own bed, he and his wife, Molly, tried everything to coax the toddler back into his own room. But nothing worked. After nearly three years of Bradley sleeping in their bed, Wright, of North Syracuse, came up with an idea. Since none of the bedtime books the couple found really addressed their dilemma, Wright decided to
write his own book to help Bradley adjust to bedtime. The result: 43 pages of colorful illustrations and story, titled “I Sleep in My Own Bed.” “The manuscript for the book was easy,” Wright said of his first book. “The reasons for a child to sleep in their own bed just came rushing to me. The
illustrations took a little longer.” It took 10 months to finish the book, from initial idea to completion of all the artwork. Through Xlibris selfpublishing company at the cost of $5,000, the book was first published in October 2010.

From the mailbag Liverpool BOE members return fire over petitions To the editor, This letter is in response to the continuous attacks on our school district by Ms. Yager, Ms. Matson and Ms. Ruf (from “Taxpayer revolt grows,” March 23, 2011). These individuals allegedly represent the taxpayers and children by propagating baseless complaints about what is happening in our district and by accusing the
superintendent and board of education of spending taxpayer money inappropriately. We take their statements and allegations extremely seriously and feel we must respond. In 2008, the State Comptroller’s office audited our school district and found serious deficiencies. Since that time several new processes and controls have been put in place and the “tone at the top” has been addressed through the hiring of Dr. Richard Johns. The BOE is very much aware of the Please see Letters, page 5

L’pool village taxes to rise Public hearing set April 11 to discuss proposed property tax hike By Russ Tarby The village of Liverpool’s proposed 2011-12 budget was unveiled March 21 at the board of trustees meting. The budget calls for $2,223,428 in spending, reported Village Clerk Mary Ellen Sims. “The 2010-2011 general fund budget was $2,194,143, which is approximately $30,000 lower than the proposed 2011-2012 budget,� Sims said. The 2011-12 budget includes planned purchases for a police vehicle, truck and snow-blower for a total of $64,500, the clerk pointed out. “If these purchases were not in the proposed budget,� she said, “the actual spending for 2011–12 would be about $35,000 less than this year.� Mayor Gary White said that village governments are struggling

It’ll be the first time in 14 years that village taxes have gone up. Village residents are invited to discuss the proposed budget at a public hearing at 7 p.m. April 11, at the Village Hall, 310 Sycamore St. Liverpool must approve its 2011-12 budget by April 30.

Opinion
The pursuit of happiness in CNY A new study published in the Atlantic Monthly attempts to quantify the amount of happiness people in various communities feel, and Syracuse, it seems, is a little below average on the joy meter. We’re happier than Uticans, who are near the bottom of the smile scale, but not as happy as those who hail from Rochester or Albany. No upstate cities are particularly cheery. Of course, it’s March, and although the snow has mostly left, the biting winds and horizontal rains of our early spring are enough to make even the heartiest of Central New Yorkers wince a little bit. And with our collective pride wrapped so closely to the Syracuse Orange’s
tournament hopes, this season’s premature exit did little to brighten spirits in these parts. So … I’ve noticed a collective grumpiness in the last few weeks. But what’s interesting about the study are the similarities between grumpy places and happy places. In a lot of cases, the happy towns and Syracuse have quite a bit in common. Several are college towns (Lincoln, Neb., Burlington, Vt., Boulder, Colo.). And before you tell me that weather is the dominant factor, a look at the happy map would show that there are a lot of coldweather cities that tip the smile scales, and a bunch of warm-weather locales
where frowns appear to be the norm. Madison, Wis. is a happy place, according to this study. I was briefly there a few years ago and it reminded me of Syracuse. And by a demographic and climate standpoint, there are a lot of similarities. Madison is bigger than Syracuse (208,000 people as opposed to 145,000), but like Syracuse, the focal point of the town is the university. It has a cleaner, nicer lake than Onondaga Lake, but the weather is similar (Madison is a little colder, Syracuse is quite a bit snowier). Like Syracuse and many college towns, there are a number of arts and cultural attractions that are unavailable in other small cities. And
similar to the place we call home, Madison seems to spill out of itself into a suburban sprawl that I found very familiar. There are subtle differences. A higher percentage of Syracusans live as families, and more Madisonites live alone (solitary happiness?). Syracuse is a significantly more diverse place than Madison, which has a minority population of only 16 percent, compared with around 45 percent in Syracuse according to our most recent census. But that doesn’t explain why they’re happier. According to this study, it comes down to a few important things, which can be summed up in one word: money. The median household
David Tyler From the
publisher income in Syracuse is $30,075. In Madison, it is $49,595. Money can’t buy you happiness, but the lack of it can create a whole lot of pain. When a community’s economy is hurting, it shows on the faces of its residents. High unemployment, low wages and over-taxation don’t warm your heart. I love the seasons and the snow and the camaraderie this community offers. Our long winters make our glorious late
springs and summers all that much more enjoyable. We have friendly neighborhoods, many great schools, beautiful lakes and parks, and a diverse culture. I’ve never wanted to live anywhere else. Nonetheless, there are economic barriers in Upstate New York that don’t exist in other parts of the nation. Until those barriers are removed and our state and local leaders adopt forward-thinking economic policies, more and more people will take their pursuit of happiness elsewhere. And that won’t make anyone smile. David Tyler is the publisher of Eagle Newspapers. He can be reached at dtyler@eaglenewsonline.com.
Taxes, donut shops, yard waste all going up in Liverpool As local homeowners watch their tax bills rise again this year, they may want to ponder this disquieting statistic: Here in the Empire State, property owners pay taxes 72 percent higher than the national average. Dunkin’ Donuts dominates The new Dunkin’ Donuts shop across Route 57 from Mazzye’s Meats is now open for business. Apparently, the DD franchise plans to build new retail outlets every two miles along busy suburban roadways. Today Liverpool, tomorrow the world!
Yard-waste pickup starts Monday April 4 We can’t start spring cleaning with our fingers crossed! But while we’re all twisting our digits, hoping against hope that the snow has finally stopped falling this year, that time has certainly come. The equinox passed two weekends ago and this Friday is the first day of April—no joke! So while we may not have seen the last of the snow, the village DPW stands ready to haul away whatever yard waste you can bring to the curb on Mondays April 4 and 18.

accessing excess EBALR funds (Employee Benefit Accrued Liability Reserve) in order to do so. To clarify the above, DiNapoli stated in his report that the governor had proposed allowing districts to use excess funds in the Employee Benefit Accrued Liability Reserve fund. By law, these accounts may only be used for set-aside funds to compensate departing employees for unused leave time. In some cases, acting on bad
advice from their accountants, some districts have put money in such accounts to pay for future retiree health insurance. North Syracuse Central School District has done neither, and consequently, is unable to access such funds. Not only does DiNapoli’s report reinforce my argument that Central New York school districts have the “least ability to tap reserves to mitigate the proposed aid cuts,” but average need districts “are much less likely to be able to make up for aid cuts with reserves—less likely, even, than high need districts, since the higher need districts had lower aid cuts.”

Fund balances revisited Governor Cuomo continues to stress that the vast majority of school districts have enough in fund balance and reserves to survive a major reduction in state aid. As I have addressed in a previous column, our fund balance reserve of $4,787,784, or 3.53 percent of our budget, as of June 30, 2011, is well within the four percent the law allows school districts to hold in fund balance. Regarding school district reserves, our total reserves amount to $4,931,337, all designated for expenses that are likely to occur or have been incurred. With this in mind, I was pleased to see a report from State Comp-
troller Tom DiNapoli a few weeks ago that stressed the following: ✓ Although the budget proposes cuts of similar sizes for low- and average-need districts, average-need districts are much less likely to be able to make up for aid cuts with reserves—less likely, even, than highneed districts, since the higher need districts had lower aid cuts. Almost all low need school districts would be able to cover the difference. ✓ Regionally, districts in Central New York and the Finger Lakes appear to have the least ability to tap reserves to mitigate the proposed school aid cuts, and would have the greatest dependence on

Encouragement for mixed-use properties in Cicero Cicero has an opportunity to take advantage of a new property tax exemption that, if approved by the town board, will increase the flexibility of commercial properties in the town, promote economic growth and give some property owners a tax break. Recently, after the Onondaga County Legislature passed a similar exemption for county taxes, I met with county officials to see if an exemption program is available at the town level. There is. This exemption program provides a tax break to commercial land owners who

convert a portion of their property to residential use or mixed use. The town board will hold a public hearing on this new exemption at its April 13 meeting. A copy of the proposal will be available on the town’s website, ciceronewyork.net. I encourage everyone to read and support this new exemption because it will benefit the entire town. Under this new program, a qualifying commercial property owner will receive a tax exemption if they convert their parcel into a mixed commercial/residential use. In other words, this
from taxes for the next eight years. The tax breaks would continue for another four years on a sliding scale ranging from 80 percent to 20 percent. That’s up to 12 years of property tax exemptions. Because this exemption encourages the development of under-used commercial properties, all Cicero residents will benefit. Greater use means more sales tax revenue. It also means more people coming to our town and seeing what Cicero has to offer. And a growing commercial base offsets the need to
Liverpool Administrators Association (LAA) is in fear of the superintendent and that they are treated with vindictiveness. That’s just baloney. With tenure protection and a disputed contract clause that would require expensive litigation on the part of the district to lay-off any of the LAA members, no one in LAA could feel threatened or in anyway in fear of their jobs. Dr. Johns has asked the administrators to be more responsible for the outcomes of their students and naturally (although somewhat disappointing) some of the administrators (including the union leadership and many of those near retirement) have responded negatively. Several administrators are of course embracing the challenge and making great progress and we have great respect for them. But Dr. Johns has asked all of the administrators, and particularly
the principals, to develop School Excellence Teams, three year plans to actively improve the success of their students and to strive for excellence. In the case where a principal (your educational leader in each building) doesn’t take that responsibility—and openly rejects the concept of improvement, planning and excellence—in our opinion cannot be tolerated and Dr Johns has shown he will not tolerate it. So those that will never listen to an answer that isn’t the answer they want will create petitions based on their opinions and ramble on and on and on with their baseless allegations hoping to keep the status quo. If these people would put any effort into helping the school excellence teams and finding ways to avert the financial issues we face in our school district they would serve a valid purpose. Through two extremely
Jim Corl, Jr. Cicero Town Councilor raise property taxes for everyone. Just image how high property taxes would be in Cicero if we didn’t have the Route 11 business district. Ten years ago, before much
of the Route 11 development occurred, property taxes in Cicero were skyrocketing by 10, 15 and 25 percent every year. We cannot afford to go through that again. The town’s rebound will not occur overnight. It will happen in varying phases and over time. Programs, like this new tax exemption, are just one of many opportunities we must grab to ensure Cicero’s commercial foundation which will improve the town’s overall tax base and an improved tax base will benefit us all.

financial operations of the district and of the internal and external auditor’s opinions of the integrity of our processes and systems. The third party internal auditors consider Liverpool an exemplary institution. All activity related to any work done in the district has been publicly discussed by the BOE and superintendent and has been done within all approval and reporting requirements. Anyone can disagree with the choices, but the BOE and the superintendent have the most knowledge to make the best informed decision. It is malicious to accuse the BOE and superintendent of hiding actions, being uninformed or acting in any way that is not ethical, because it simply isn’t true. With respect to the FOCUS Academy, the petitioners are ignoring those students that need a smaller learning environment—like the district has done for over
10 years. The current proposal for the FOCUS Academy has not yet been decided by the BOE. There has not been a single penny spent on the Wetzel Road facility toward the FOCUS Academy. The proposal in the budget provides a one-time $40,700 to create a science lab and adult bathrooms in order to use the facility for secondary education. The FOCUS Academy approach will help the 90 students that participate be more successful and graduate with substantive skills. Many would be at high risk of not graduating. To petition to deny these students their chance to be successful is a petition for selfish reasons at the expense of these kids. What have the petitioners proposed to improve our success with these students and increase our graduation rate that would cost less? Nothing. The petition to remove the superintendent says the
difficult financial years the superintendent and the BOE have held the budget in line—where it is approximately the same as it was in 2008. A budget that has protected (for now) the maximum class sizes in our district, improved nearly all of the program content, maintained extra-curricular activities, and re-injected technology into our classrooms.

Praise for arts in LCSD To the editor An enthusiastic round of applause to the Liverpool School District’s art and music educators as well as the Program in the Arts Council for a
very delightful afternoon at the Adventures in the Arts showcase on Sunday March 20. The students who participated treated us to some very fine musical offerings, and art displays from grades K through six were so colorful and creative. It is obvious that art and music programs are a dynamic, integral component of the Liverpool School District, and we trust it will remain such a viable, treasured entity in the face of budget challenges. Thank you to all who worked so hard to provide this annual event to our community. Our youngsters, and all of us, are richer because of this experience. Patricia and Donald MacLaughlin Liverpool

Liverpool residents present petition, talk LMS at BOE meeting By Caitlin Donnelly
editor@eaglestarreview.com During the Liverpool Central School District Board of Education meeting on March 28, concerned parents addressed the board with petitions and discussion on the proposed downsizing of Liverpool Middle School. During the public communications segment of the meeting, a concerned group of parents and teachers from Liverpool Middle School addressed the board about the proposed downsizing of LMS from four “teams” to three to save money during the budget process. The parents stated that downsizing would leave at least five of the recently renovated classrooms vacant, and really only save the district “four tenths of one percent” should the board decide to go ahead with the downsizing. Sharon Yager, the Liverpool mom that created and led the signing of the petition to remove the FOCUS Academy from the budget, presented the board with the 434 signatures she and a group of Liverpool residents collected in only 17 days. She said the second petition, calling for the resignation of the superintendent, Dr. Richard Johns, will be presented to the board in April. Prior to Yager’s presentation of the petition, BOE
Optometry
member F. Joseph Unangst voiced his displeasure with the constant “attacks” on the board and Dr. Johns by Yager. “It’s painful to have to continually deal with the negativity,” Unangst said. He also read excepts from his “letter to the editor,” page 1. Board member David Watson agreed. “Many statements are being made, but nothing’s being said about solutions or alternatives,” he said. Also during the meeting, the board was given two presentations highlighting some of the more “positive” aspects of the district, including a presentation by the Liverpool High School Task Force and the district’s art department. The task force, created to “foster collaborative partnerships among students, their school and their community,” was represented by a group of teachers, guidance counselors and administrators providing an update for the board. Task force representatives stated that by creating smaller learning communities within Liverpool High School and the Annex, the following goals would be reached: 3 Increased student engagement and creating a sense of belonging; 3 Creation of stronger collaborative partnerships
for learning; 3 Improvement in student literacy, math and study skills by turning students into “curious, critical thinkers.” The task force expects their program to roll out slowly, over an approximate three-year period to “ensure accuracy and efficiency.” The board was also presented with an eight-minute video created by the district’s art d epartment. Throughout the video, students and teachers spoke about the importance of art and creativity in their education, leaving the board impressed by the quality of the presentation. Finally, the board voted not to approve the OCM BOCES rates of service for the 2011-2012 school year. While the vote states that the Liverpool BOE is displeased with the current proposed rates of service, it does not mean the district has opted out of using BOCES services. Once BOCES approves their budget, the Liverpool BOE will again vote to decide if using BOCES services is appropriate. A budget workshop will be held at 7 p.m. April 4 at the District Offices, 195 Blackberry Road in Liverpool. A regular work session meeting will be held at 7 p.m. April 11, and a regular board meeting will take place at 7 p.m. April 25 at the District Offices.

Simply signing their children up to play school sports does not necessarily ensure that kids will get all the exercise their growing bodies require. On average, researchers have found that school soccer and baseball/softball players exercised heavily for only 45 minutes during practice. This is 15 minutes less than the amount suggested by national guidelines that recommend children get a total of at least 60 minutes of moderate to heavy exercise daily. Fewer than half actually do, and teenagers fare even worse. This news may come as a bit of a shock to parents of the more than 40 million youngsters who play school sports. Much
of school-sport practice time involves improving skills and understanding strategy, not necessarily running around. If you or family member needs physical therapy, please call 315-476-3176. Our therapists work to restore the normal alignment of the body’s tissues and structures through a hands-on, one-on-one approach. All of our physical therapists, certified hand therapists and physical therapist assistants are licensed and registered in New York State. A new prescription is required every thirty days in order to continue with physical therapy. Our office is located at 207 Pine Street in Syracuse. P.S. There is no substitute for prolonged active play time during which children run, climb, jump, and exercise their bodies. 08310

CNS girls basketball beaten in Federation semifinals By Rob Jonas
jonasr@spolightnews.com The question following Saturday’s Federation Class AA girls basketball semifinal was this: how could a player as big as Cicero-North Syracuse’s Breanna Stewart become invisible on the court? Murry Bergtraum provided the answer. After scoring 15 points in the first half, the Northstars’ star forward was limited to one point in the second half as Murry, the New York City public school champions,

came back for a 58-49 victory at Albany’s Times Union Center. Stewart was on the court the whole time, but Murry Bergtraum’s defense kept her away from the ball at the offensive end. Stewart only attempted a handful of shots over the game’s final 16 minutes, none of which dropped. Most of the time, either Stewart carried the ball up the court, or she passed the ball to one of her teammates. Meanwhile, the smaller, faster Blazers were beating CNS to every loose ball. Murry Bergtraum out-rebounded the Northstars 56-33, which included an astounding 33-12 advantage on the offensive glass. There were plenty of rebounding opportunities in the first half. Murry Bergtraum took 43 shots and made only 11 of them, while CNS hit 12 of its 23 field goal attempts as it built a 32-26 halftime lead. The Northstars increased their advantage to 10 points less than three minutes into the third quarter before the Blazers took control. First, they went on a 10-0 run to tie the game at 40. Then, Sarah Bowles drove the baseline for a layup to give CNS a 42-40 lead before Murry Bergtraum opened the fourth

CNS stayed close for a little bit, but Murry Bergtraum went on an 8-0 run to put the game out of the Northstars’ reach. Forward Shaniqua Reese capitalized on a pair of shots near the basket to cap the Lady Blazers’ spurt. Reese scored eight of her 12 points in the second half and pulled down 23 rebounds for Murry Bergtraum, despite giving away a height advantage to Stewart. Cori Coleman led the Lady Blazers with 18 points, and Shequana Harris added 11 points. Stewart, despite those late struggles, still nearly had a triple-double as she finished
with 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocks. Kelsey Mattice also had 16 points, including all three of the Northstars’ three-pointers, and Bowles contributed 10 points and seven rebounds. CNS finished its season with a 22-3 mark and a New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class AA title. Mattice is off to Maine, but with Stewart returning for one more season before heading to Connecticut, plus the expected return of Brittany Paul, Sarah Bowles, Abbey Timpano, Julie Hauberg and Cara Gannett, more great things are expected for the Northstars.

“This book takes a child on a journey to all the places they wouldn’t want to sleep and outlines the reasons why their own bed is the perfect place to sleep,” described the book’s official website. The book is suitable for children two to seven as a helpful tool to get them to sleep in their own bed, as well as a great bedtime story to be read again and again, said Wright. More than 100 copies of “I Sleep in My Own Bed” have been sold so far, but there is no way to know exact numbers, since sales through the online Barnes and Noble, Amazon and Borders bookstore websites are not tracked, said Molly Wright. Aside from the role of supportive wife and mother, Molly has worked on the public relations
end of the process, trying to get the book into the hands of as many parents as possible. Wright emphasized that the book is by no means a “get rich quick scheme” for the family, and that the sales and positive feedback have been an added bonus. The most rewarding aspect of the book writing process has been getting Bradley, now five, to finally sleep in his own bed. “It’s been an invaluable experience. Bradley knows the book by heart,” he said. While Bradley doesn’t necessarily understand the importance of the book now, the couple hopes he will value the fact that his father wrote the book as a gift specifically for him down the road. With one children’s book under his belt, Wright, who works at FedEx by day, said he is thinking
Ladies golf league seeks members
about writing more books in the future. Next on tap: a book on going to kindergarten, Bradley’s latest mission. For now, the family hopes to spread the word about “I Sleep in My Own Bed” and help other parents struggling with the same situation. For those interested in meeting and speaking with the author, the Wrights will be signing copies of the book at the Barnes and Noble on Erie Boulevard in Dewitt on April 9. “It’s great to hear other parents’ stories and to get advice from other writers,” Wright said.

pitching staff to prove that 2010 wasn’t an aberration. Oakland is talking big this spring, with an actual commitment to spend a few bucks and a deep, imposing bullpen to make foes worry. Again, the Angels took on a big contract with Vernon Wells, but it may have given up too much in return, and health is a major concern. Seattle, other than Cy Young winner King Felix Hernandez, has little to shout about. AL Central – Somehow Minnesota managed to control this division a season ago without Justin Morneau or Joe Nathan. Bring them back with any kind of production, and the Twins can win the pennant. Of the others, only the White Sox and Detroit pose any real challenge as the South Siders lean on Jake Peavy’s full return from shoulder injuries that nearly ended his career and the Tigers will simply mash to get by.

Cleveland and Kansas City fall into the same category, their farm systems loaded with young talent that isn’t ready, so it will be a feat if the Tribe and/or Royals avoid the 90-loss syndrome again. AL East – Yes, deal with it, I saved them for last. Absolutely no one expects Tampa Bay to get a third division title in four years after the Rays were forced to shed payroll, the likes of Carl Crawford and Matt Garza departing. Of course Crawford went to Boston, whose underdog pretensions are long gone. The Red Sox and Yankees are more alike than ever, in that they can afford any guy they want and about 25 other teams can’t. This season, Boston appears to have the edge because the Yanks are not as deep, either at the plate or in the rotation. And in any case Baltimore, goaded by new boss Buck Showalter, might offer a bigger challenge than in 15 years or so. Toronto remains a tough opponent, too– though Danny Bautista can’t hit 54 home runs again, right? All this leads us to the annual Fearless World Series Prediction. Okay, perhaps it’s feckless, too, because there’s a better chance whatever I offer here will look foolish in a matter of weeks, not months. Still, here goes….the Phillies win the National League (yawn), and the Twins emerge in the American League (really). Philadelphia’s pitching staff just overwhelms the senses and dwarfs any NL rival’s intentions. The Twins do all the little things right and won’t have to endure the battle royal in the East, so they’ll be fresh for an October that might prove pretty cold. Just like the start, really.

reading celebrated “God’s children.” Hatter had been among the first responders at the scene on Jan. 6, and Lemm served as lead investigator on the case which led to the arrest of Isabella’s mother, 29-year-old Nicole DeJaynes of Clay. DeJaynes remains at the Corbett Justice Center in Syracuse, charged with second-degree murder. Among the 200 mourners at the church was Michael DeNardo, the young man who discovered the baby’s body while he was scavenging a dumpster for scrap wood. He had found her there—abandoned and alone—among plastic trash bags and broken toys. On Saturday, DeNardo
said, “I didn’t want her to be buried alone.” The Rev. Denny Hayes celebrated the baby’s funeral Mass assisted by St. Joseph’s pastor, the Rev. Charlie Major. The church chorus, conducted by keyboardist and music minister Eileen Brody, filled the sacristy with the sound of “Amazing Grace” and other hymns. After reading from the gospel of Mark in which Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me,” Hayes lamented Isabella’s death as “unfathomable.” Fr. Hayes, who serves as chaplain for the Onondaga County Sheriff ’s Office, pointed out that first responders to such death scenes find them “an insult to their senses [and]
an insult to their souls.” While Hayes delivered the homily, Fr. Major made brief introductory remarks. “This tragedy took place within a mile of where I live,” the pastor noted. “So I felt bad about this.” He had to wonder, he said, “Where was our welcoming spirit to this mother and child?” Major praised the LPD for arranging the infant’s funeral. “I’m so happy to be part of a village which is raising awareness of this child,” Major said. The funeral service “enriches us as citizens,” he said, and represents a “faith-andvillage connective-ness.” After the mass—as a brisk breeze offset the
spring sunshine—some 100 mourners led by LPD officers walked across Sixth Street behind the hearse from the Ballweg & Lunsford Funeral Home to Liverpool Cemetery. Hayes said a few prayers at the baby’s grave while a closed picnic basket with a black bow sat on a small table near the white casket. As the service concluded, Annie Westrupp opened the basket and out flew three snow-white doves which ascended directly toward heaven. Contributions can be made in Isabella Marie’s name to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, 750 E. Adams St., Syracuse, NY 13210. Photos by Caitlin Donnelly
Over 100 local residents and law enforcement officers followed the funeral procession on foot to the LIverpool Cemetery, where Isabella Marie was laid to rest. ABOVE RIGHT: Rev.

of $235—if the board of trustees approves the 2011 budget as expected. All properties in the village must also pay a $150-per unit sewer rent charge. The county tax rate for village property owners went down by $1.32 per thousand, due to the sales-tax decision. So, for $100,000 homeowners, their village tax bills “will be offset somewhat by the $132 decrease in the county tax rate,” the mayor said. In formulating the proposed budget, Sims said, “village department heads did their best to keep their budgets the same as last year or lower.”
White concurred. “We really scratched around to come up with the best budget we thought we could live with,” he said. “I think we did well.” For instance, he said, the village has managed to cut back on costs for health-care payments. Last year, the village collected $1,184,717 in property taxes. The balance of its budget comes from sources such as court fines, fees, Gleason Mansion rental income, interest income and the county’s new Village Infrastructure Program which was established in lieu of sales-tax revenue sharing. “I was extremely dis-
NOPL couraged and disturbed by the actions of our county legislators [regarding the restructuring of the salestax agreement],” White said. “Their actions were very disingenuous.” Trustee Nick Kochan called the county’s new Village Infrastructure Program “more government obfuscation.” Trustee Dennis Hebert, who is a professional financial analyst, predicted that when election time rolls around this fall, “Those legislators will tell you they worked hard to get you a tax decrease of $1.32 [per $1,000 assessed value], but they won’t tell you what they took away.”

A witness stated that Bartle had been traveling at a high rate of speed just prior to the crash. The cause of the accident is unknown at this time and Sheriff Detective’s will continue to investigate the accident to determine the cause.
