From the Desk of the Executive Director
Wouldn’t you know it, in my last
article, I talked at length about our
new cross country ski trail groomer
and how it would be a real asset for
those of you that enjoy the sport. Well
I must confess that I wrote that article
a couple of days after we had received
the new machine figuring that the
snow would keep on falling as it had
been. It turns out that for the first two
plus weeks after receiving the new
groomer, we got a total of one-half
of an inch of snow. I thought maybe
we’d found a way to turn off the snow
machine in Baldwinsville. However, it
looks like the snow is back so enjoy
the sport while you can. We’ll try to
keep the trails in good shape for you
for the rest of the season.
Speaking of the season, by the
time you read this there will only be
three weeks left of winter. I’ve even
heard the weatherman use the s-word.
Spring arrives on March 20th at 2:35
a.m.. Hopefully, some spring weather
will arrive with it. Is it just me or do
you feel like this has been a really
long winter too? I’m ready for warmth
to return.
Spring also means the time of year
when we start thinking about all those
projects that need to be done around
the house like painting, roofing,
deck repairs, major driveway repairs/
replacement and the like. Most, if not
all, of these things require Architectural
Standards Committee approval. If you
are contemplating exterior work on
by John Vinquist
your home or property, please consult
the ASC Guide (available on the RCA
website or at the office) before you
start. The old saying “its easier to get
forgiveness than approval” does not
apply here. Spring and summer are
very busy times for the committee so
help them and yourself out and get
your applications in early.
A friendly reminder to those of
you who have recently purchased a
home or refinanced and received a
Certificate of Compliance as part of
that sale or refinance. If there were
“contingencies” cited on the C of C,
the ASC tracks them to see they are
completed on the schedule specified
in the C of C. Those that are not
completed per that schedule are
subject to violations of ASC standards
and associated enforcement action.
Please save us all the trouble of going
through that process and take the
appropriate steps to resolve these
issues. John Mancinelli, our ASC
Administrator will be happy to help
with any questions you may have. Just
call the office and we’ll connect you.
Okay, so let’s think spring and
enjoy what’s left of winter. Stay safe
and warm!

My name is Ginger and I’m a single
mother working hard to raise my boys.
It hasn’t been an easy life. Once, I had
a family, but they moved away and left
me behind when they found out I was
pregnant.
It was October and starting to get
cold. I found the best place I could
(someone’s garage), and gave birth to
my kittens there. I was scared, cold
and hungry. Some kind, elderly women
noticed me and began to offer food, but
they knew both myself and my babies
would freeze to death if we didn’t get
help soon.

When my rescuers came, I walked
right up to them and purred. I’ve been
living in this kind foster home for 2
months now. We’re so grateful to be safe
that we’ve been perfect house-guests,
but it will soon be time for us to find
our forever homes.
We are litter-trained, and I will be
spayed, the boys will be neutered, and
we will all have had our vaccinations
and tests to assure that we’re healthy. If
you’ve been looking for some extra love
in your life, you need to check us out!

New York State Needs the Federal Stimulus Package
By Senator John A. DeFrancisco
My New York
State
Senate
Republican
colleagues and
I recently urged
members
of
the New York
Congressional Delegation to strongly
advocate for New York’s share of the
federal stimulus package, and to focus
assistance on economic development,
infrastructure investments and tax
relief for families and businesses.
We are asking that the funds be
used in the most effective way to
create and retain jobs and strengthen
our economy. We are also calling on
Governor Paterson to resubmit his
2009-10 Executive Budget to account
for the projected federal aid and to
eliminate new taxes and fees that
would have a devastating impact on
our taxpayers.
Under the Governor’s plan, we
would see tax increases on virtually
everything, from haircuts to beer,
wine and soda. In addition, it would
eliminate $2 billion in property tax
rebate checks that New Yorkers
rely on. The Governor’s tax and
fee increase proposals come down
squarely on the shoulders of middle
class New Yorkers, who simply
cannot afford to pay more.
In addition to eliminating
new taxes and fees, my Senate
Republican colleagues and I would
like to see federal dollars pumped
into road and bridge improvements
for Upstate New York, shovel-ready
capital projects, the development of
a high speed rail service, and for a
job creation plan.
Senate Republicans have already
proposed a job creation plan that
would redirect current, unused
economic development funds to
cut taxes on small businesses and
eliminate business taxes for small
manufacturers. In addition, we
have worked with local officials,
businesses and community leaders
to develop shovel-ready capital
projects that, with federal funding,
would create thousands of new jobs,
especially for Upstate New York.
The federal stimulus package
will also provide New York with
additional money for Medicaid.
Senate Republicans led the fight
to enact new laws to prevent and
to uncover waste, fraud and abuse
in New York’s Medicaid program.
Now, we would like to see structural
reforms to Medicaid, in order to
provide health care to those who
need it and eliminate those who seek
to abuse and defraud the program.
The Governor’s proposed budget
also includes severe cuts in State
school aid that would hurt students
in the classrooms and force massive
local property tax hikes. My Senate
Republican colleagues and I want
to make sure stimulus money is
given to our schools and distributed
equitably throughout the State, so
that every school district receives
a fair amount of aid to maintain a
quality education for our children.
We need to move forward with
a new plan that makes the best
use of federal stimulus aid and
meets the needs of all New Yorkers.
The Governor should take this
opportunity to fix his disastrous
plan that would hurt our schools,
businesses and taxpayers.
News From Assemblyman Will Barclay
Stimulus Package Does not Eliminate State’s
Spending Problems
The President
is expected to
sign an economic
stimulus package
of spending and tax cuts worth at least
$740 billion. If this package comes
through, it has been reported that it
will bring an estimated $200 million to

Central New York. While this may allow
our state to stave off cuts to Medicaid
and education especially, I’m concerned
our state leaders will relax and not cut
enough spending in the upcoming
budget session.
This kind of stimulus package
is unprecedented and will not be
repeated. It will enable us to save crucial
programming and some jobs, however,
we must not lose sight of the reputation
our state has come to bear. Since I took
office almost eight years ago, I’ve said
that New York has a spending problem,
not a revenue problem, contrary to
what Speaker Silver says. According
to the Tax Foundation, a national tax
watchdog group, in 2007, New York
spent $5,841 on a per capita basis,
the third highest in the nation. Clearly,
Albany spends too much.
If the package comes through,
perhaps cuts don’t have to be as
painful as we first anticipated but this
is a time when we should consolidate
departments and services, and have the
foresight to manage State Government
spending as if it were a business or
a household. Constantly borrowing
and adding new fees and taxes only
punishes our residents. We owe smart
budgeting to our constituents. We also
owe it to our constituencies not to tax
them further.
The Tax Foundation released a study
this week which says state budget
shortfalls are actually an opportunity
for fundamental tax reform. The study
also reports that adding punitive taxes
on unpopular groups such as smokers,
drinkers or high-income earners is poor
tax policy and a source of instability
because they force a small group of
people to pay for government services.
Fees like the obesity tax, more taxes
on doctors, taxes on clothing, more
taxes on businesses are all a part of this
proposed budget and should be done
away with.
If this money is funneled from
the federal government, we should
use this as an opportunity to change
our spending and borrowing habits
as a state government. Our State
Comptroller has some of the same
concerns. Earlier this week, he issued
a statement that warned New York not
to view the economic stimulus package
as simply a bail out for this year’s fiscal
crisis. I’m deeply concerned that this
news will put our state leader’s minds
at ease and not enough spending cuts
will be made in the 2009-10 budget
year. I will continue to work toward a
more sensible state budget—one that
does not raise taxes and is in line with
current revenue streams.

issue, or if you would like to be added to

lots of songs about love and friends. Love was
definitely in the air!
Both classes had a special visit from Patty
from Dr. Burke’s office. She talked to the children
about taking good care of their teeth and visiting
the dentist. Thank you to Patty for visiting and
sharing special dental treats.
In the three-year-old room the RNS Post Office
was very popular this week. The children sent and
received tons of mail. Stamping and addressing
the letters was definitely a favorite activity!
In the Four-year-old room the children talked
about the Presidents, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln for President’s Day.

News From Onondaga County First District Legislator Richard M. Lesniak
Report from the Onondaga County Legislature
The
Onondaga County Legislature met in
regular session
on February 3,
2009. This month
it was time to
start thinking about some of the area’s
popular summer events. On the agenda was a resolution to allocate $67,700
from Room Occupancy Tax for the
promotion of our summer time events
in the parks. The allocation will support website design, local brochures,
tourism promotional activities and the
Elite Bass Pro Tour 2009. Yes, the Bass
Pro tour is back again this year! Even
though Bass Pro reduced the number
of events that were scheduled due to
economic conditions, Syracuse was
one of their most popular events and it
remains on their schedule for another
year. This only reflects the fantastic job
our Parks Department, the Syracuse
Conventions and Visitors Bureau and
all of the local fishing groups did on
promoting and organizing this event.
Of course, the excellent fisheries that
Oneida and Onondaga Lake offer
played an important role also!
The agenda also included a
resolution that I sponsored requesting
the County Executive to explore and
evaluate the feasibility of a tuition
reimbursement program for Onondaga
County residents who receive a Nursing
Degree from Onondaga Community
College and who commit to working
at a county healthcare facility for
a certain number of years. As we
know, there is a shortage of nursing
personnel available to hire at all of
our healthcare facilities including the
private hospitals. St. Joseph’s, Crouse
and Upstate Hospitals all offer tuition
reimbursement as an incentive to
work in their facilities. We need to
look at the possibility of competing
for nurses with those hospitals. The
Commissioner of Long Term Care
will be reporting back to the Health
Committee on or before April 1, 2009
on the possibility of proceeding. This
legislation had the full support of all
19 legislators.
Another item on the agenda
included passage of a Local Law
regarding the extension of the lease for
the Chiefs Baseball team. The current
law allows for the County Executive
to extend the lease for up to another
15 years without any Legislative input
or approval. As you may remember,
there were many articles in the media
about gray areas in the current lease,
including items such as utilities cost
and who is responsible for payment
of those costs. Passage of this local
law insures that any extension of the
current lease must come back to the
legislature for a full review, prior to
any approval.

The Baldwinsville Theatre Guild presents
“Exit The Body”.
A mystery writer rents a New
England house that is the rendezvous
point for some jewel thieves. The focal
point of the set is the closet which
opens into a living room and a library.
A body found in the closet promptly
disappears only to be succeeded
by another. The hunt for the jewels
reaches a climax at two a.m. when
four couples unknown to each other
turn up to search. Not since the days of
Mark Sennett has there been such an
hilarious series of entrances and exits.
The show will be performed on:
February 27 and 28 at 7:30pm
March 6 and 7 at 7:30pm
March 8 (Matinee) at 3pm
March 13 and 14 at 7:30pm
