Last Friday, the village of North Syracuse celebrated the renovation of the village hall with a visit from Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon.

The renovation included a new façade to the building, the expansion of the lobby and a new conference area, a new roof on the garage in the back of the building and the renovation of some interior office space.

The total cost of the project was approximately $330,000, which came from a county grant and the village’s American Rescue Plan Act funds, said North Syracuse Mayor Gary Butterfield.

“The last time we did anything to the face of the building was the fifties,” Butterfield said.

He added that during the pandemic, the cramped proportions of the building’s lobby meant only two people could be there at

At its March 20 meeting the Liverpool Village Board of Trustees scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. Monday, April 10, regarding the proposed 2023-2024 village budget.

The proposed $3,614,489 million budget calls for spending more than $502,000 on capital projects, including the purchase of a new department of public works mini dumptruck for $71,000, a police ve -

a time.

In his comments, McMahon emphasized the importance of villages in the county’s plans for growth over the next decade.

“How we’re going to grow, is we’re going to grow on Main Street,” McMahon said. “To do that you need strong village governments, and you need the ability to deliver services, you need the infrastructure.”

McMahon said the county has provided more than $2 million in municipal grants that have in turn created more than $5.5 million in investment in community streetscapes.

“At no point in our community’s history, probably since the Erie Canal, have we seen the economic opportunity that we’re seeing today. That means there’s going to be investment,” McMahon said. “Village hall looks great, and we were happy to be a part of it.”

Last year’s village budget came in at $2,944,337, while the proposed budget calls for $670,000 more spending. To balance the budget, $455,789 will need to be transferred from the village fund balance, according to Village Clerk Mary Ellen Sims.

Five village businesses will use funds for storefront improvements

By rUSS tArBy ConTribuTing WriTer

On March 13, County Executive Ryan McMahon informed the village of Liverpool that five businesses will receive Main Street grants designed to improve their storefronts and streetscapes.

In January, 10 village businesses applied to the Onondaga County Community Development office for a total of $500,000 in grants.

This month, the county announced that $209,814 in Main Street money would go to half of those applicants.

“The application promised a match of $69,938 for a total investment of $279,752,” McMahon wrote in his March 13 letter to Liverpool Mayor Gary White.

The businesses whose applications were approved include Heid’s $76,550, Sunoco $4,125, Ziaie Commercial Center $40,650, Liverpool Lumber $44,650 and Ancora Productions $113,734.

Village Codes Officer Bill Reagan, who coordinated the applications, pointed out that each of those recipients was awarded 59 percent of the amount they had requested.

An initial round of Main Street funding was administered in 2021. Some of the money for the Village Main Street program comes from the $89 million which Onondaga County received from the federal American Rescue Plan.

“As a result of under-spending, we currently have $1 million in our fund balance,” Mayor Gary White observed. “We’ve got to get that fund down to a reasonable number.”

The 2021-22 budget reduced the village’s tax rate from $12.45 per $1,000 of assessed value to $11.95 per $1,000, after the 2020 reassessment of village properties by the town of Salina.

If the budget is passed as is, a village property assessed at $100,000 will receive a tax

bill for $1,195. White told the trustees that he’d like to see a nominal lowering of the tax rate.

Along with the taxes, village property owners must also pay a $130 annual sewer-fund assessment.

The trustees must adopt its 2023-24 spending plan by May 1.

Residents and property owners are welcome to comment on the proposed budget at the April 10 public hearing at the village hall, 310 Sycamore St.

Poison prevention

According to poisonhelp.hrsa.gov, in 1961, Congress established National Poison Prevention Week to raise awareness, reduce unintentional poisonings, and promote poison prevention.

The website goes on to say that this effort is sponsored by the National Poison Prevention Week Council. Each year, the council holds a children’s artwork contest to raise awareness about poisons. Additionally, poison centers across the country conduct activities to raise awareness of the dangers of poisoning.

While this week is officially acknowledged as the third week in March, it is an issue that is not limited to just a week and is well worth being aware of year round.

President Joe Biden shared some statistics in his proclamation in March.

Biden said each year, more than 2 million poisoning cases are reported in the United States — some of which are tragically fatal, but many of which are preventable.

While we have made great strides in the decades since National Poison Prevention Week was first observed 60 years ago — including a decline in unintentional poisoning — poisoning remains a risk, especially for children and older Americans. During National Poison Prevention Week, we raise awareness about the dangers posed by poisonous substances, precautions people can take to prevent an incident, and how to respond in a poison emergency, Biden said.

His proclamation said each year, an average of 31 children die from unintended poisonings at home, and an estimated 75,000 children under the age of five end up in hospital emergency departments from poisoning. Approximately 85 percent of unintentional poisonings take place in the home where medicines and harmful chemicals are stored.

The president said to help prevent children from unintentionally ingesting poisonous household products, it is important to keep these products out of their sight and beyond their reach.

Items such as hand sanitizer, laundry detergent, medications, coin cell batteries, cleaning products, and liquid nicotine should be stored in child-resistant packaging.

Medications should be safely secured, and if unused, properly discarded. For elderly Americans it is important that household products are secured in their original packaging and that medications are clearly labeled to avoid accidental ingestion or the mistaking of medications, Biden said.

The disposal of prescription and other medications is an area that can of particular concern.

While it is recommended that medications be taken until finished unless otherwise advised by a medical professional, it is not uncommon for medications to be leftover and it is difficult to know what to do with these as they should not simply be thrown out of washed down the drain.

In some communities police stations or other location have drop boxes that allow for medications and other substances to be dropped off anonymously.

In some instances pharmacies like Kinney Drugs have established disposal locations.

Coinciding with prevention week, Kinney announced it will offer kiosks to dispose of unneeded medications, including leftover and expired medications.

The kiosks accept prescription and over-the-counter medications for both humans and pets, including controlled substances.

The kiosks are not for disposal of sharps/needles (including EpiPens), medical/biohazardous waste, regular or hazardous household trash, or personal care products.

The president went on to say healthcare professionals work around the clock addressing poisonings and he said that if anyone suspects a poisoning to call the Poison Control Help line at 800-222-1222.

For more information, go to poisonhelp. hrsa.gov.

Biden said raising awareness if crucial to saving lives and these resources can help people learn more about what they can do to keep themselves and others safe.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

SPriNG ShowErS

We moved into what has become our only home in 1968. It didn’t take much to move us in. We had a bedframe and two twin size mattresses, a hand-crafted sofa that weighed more than my car, a bean bag chair, one floor lamp, a dining room table and chairs, one medium sized pot and a frying pan … and our wedding album. The house was a fixer-upper but we were young and willing to do the work.

We’d only been married for a little over a year and, so, we also brought the wedding gifts which included two sets of bath towels, one from my mother and one from my mother-in-law, four matching tea towels, three pot holders that my mom made, a spice rack and a set of white dishes that I bought at Grants. There were other gifts like silver trays, candlestick holders and tablecloths, but these were rarely used. Most reside where we put them in 1968.

Over the years we repaired, painted, added a family room and expanded the exquisitely tiny bathroom on the second floor and settled in to fill the house with the stuff of living. Two rooms became nurseries and the front of the refrigerator became the bulletin board of our lives.

Now, there is much more furniture, some of it that looks like furniture. Every surface is covered with photos and bookcases overflow with albums of photos chronicling our family’s growth as

Ramblings from the empty nest ann Ferro

well as lots of books. Truth be told, there are boxes of similar photos stashed in the attic that have been replaced by more current versions of the same people. Two drawers in the Hoosier are also filled with photographs.

And clothes …there are so many, some that reflect my spouse’s changing taste and those that are mine, most of which I no longer wear because I am no longer gainfully employed. Funny, I still find that there is not enough day to finish what I want to get done.

Don’t ask about the cellar or the attic. Please.

So, it was only this morning, as I was folding some rather ragged tea towels when I noticed that I no longer had any of said towels that could be hung over the handle of the oven without some form of housekeeping shame. Upstairs the bath towels sang the same song. I have one bath towel remaining from the ones that my mom gave us which I keep for sentimental reasons. The remaining towels could justifiably be donated to the vet or an animal rescue. I certainly could use a set of pots that didn’t scorch and an oven where I can bake on more than the bottom two shelves.

But I am more past that future and one thinks of what will happen when it comes time for our children to survey the result of more than 50 years of living in one house and figure out what to do next.

I should get rid of some stuff.

But … I would also like some new things, too. A set of tea towels

that you can’t see through, matching bath towels and brand-new, not bought in a discount store, pots and pans. I would love some fresh paint on the parts of the house which now can be classified as examples of Shabby Chic decorating. More shabby than chic. I can’t remember when we painted anything inside. Chipped paint is not a fashion statement.

I am proud of the way our home is a kind of museum for the family from the sea floor flora that my spouse collected on his one and only scuba diving expedition to Figi to the so many examples of our children’s and grandchildren’s art and accomplishments…weedy handwriting describing spring using creative spelling and grammar, an illustrated exhortation to be kind. Priceless.

Yes, I should be deconstructing what has accumulated but even at this advanced age, I would like some new things … a freshening of mornings and days to enliven what remains. I’ve gone to so many showers for weddings and babies, I am thinking that it is time that we think about a replacement shower for us more advanced in years citizens to enjoy the surprises of unwrapping gifts while using the good China that hasn’t left the cupboard in 30 years and that no one wants.

Ann Ferro is a mother, a grandmother and a retired social studies teacher. While still figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up, she lives in Marcellus with lots of books, a spouse and a large orange cat.

American High founder directs ‘Murder Mystery 2’

Jeremy Garelick is sitting on top of the world.

The founder and CEO of American High, the Liverpool-based film company, Garelick wrote and directed the upcoming Netflix premiere of “Murder Mystery 2,” starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.

The comedy-thriller is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 movie, which also featured Sandler and Aniston as Nick and Audrey Spitz, a cop and his hairdresser wife.

Screening t hursday

Although Garelick didn’t make “Murder Mystery 2” under his American High banner, he will present a screening of the new movie at the Academy at Syracuse Studios/Amercan High, 800 Fourth St., at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 30. To register to attend the screening, email American High staffer Axelle Azoulay at axelle@ americanhigh.co m , “I’m excited to show Cuse the movie before everyone gets to see it on Netflix,” Garelick wrote last week in an email.

In the original film released in 2019, Sandler’s and Aniston’s play a couple who take a vacation in Europe where they get framed for the killing of an elderly rich guy.

In “MM2,” the Spitzes are now full-time private detectives struggling to get their agency off the ground,

Nick and Audrey find themselves at the center of an international abduction when their friend, the Maharajah, is kidnapped at his own lavish wedding.

Lofty production budget

Since the first “MM” was a big hit for Netflix, “MM2” was generously budgeted, Garelick said. “The budget was really, really high,” he wrote. No doubt.

Consider that Sandler’s own four-film deal with Netflix reportedly earned him $250 million, and you can see that the producers weren’t reluctant to splurge.

Five different production companies collaborated on the new movie, including Sandler’s own Happy Madison Productions, plus Echo Films, Mythology Entertainment, Vinson Films and Endgame Entertainment.

Garelick rewrote the sequel’s script which was submitted by James Vanderbilt who wrote the original “Murder Mystery” screenplay.

“I did my rewrite to get the green light, then worked with Adam and Tim Herlihy to get to the shooting script,” Garelick wrote.

A screenwriter and actor, Herlihy is one of Sandler’s

former college roommates.

Hawaii and Paris locations

Shooting for “MM2” began in January 2022, in Hawaii and filming wrapped on April 8, 2022, in Paris, France. Garelick wasn’t too impressed by the exotic locations. In fact, he claims to have missed Liverpool.

“I definitely prefer shooting on Cypress and Hickory streets,” he wrote. “And the salmon riggies at The Retreat destroy any meal I ate in Paris.”

The original “MM” was directed by Kyle Newacheck, who is now producing a humorous horror mockumentary for the FX network, called “What We Do in the Shadows.”

Given that Netflix seems inclined to build a “Murder Mystery” franchise, Garelick’s in a proverbial catbird seat. He certainly stands a good chance to continue on as the franchise’s script doctor and director.

Earlier accomplishments

Previously in his career, the 47-year-old Garelick wrote “The BreakUp,” which starred Aniston and Vince Vaughn, and he made his directorial debut in 2015 with “The Wedding Ringer,” a Kevin Hart comedy that earned more than $56 million at the box office.

Since 2017, Garelick has focused on American High,

the production company he co-founded with his partner, producer Will Phelps supported by Mickey Liddell’s LD Entertainment. Over the past six years American High has produced more than a dozen provocative teen comedies such as “Big Time Adolescence,” “Looks that Kill” and “The Binge.” Nostalgic dinners

cNYSPcA PET OF THE WEEK SPUd NEEdS A homE

By doNNA NEwmAN PhoTo by Donna neWMan

Spud looks a little like Scooby Doo, but the only mystery is why this guy isn’t adopted yet! Spud came to the shelter as a stray in January. He’s a lab/ boxer mix, and he’s approximately a year old and about 50 pounds. Spud is a proud member of the doggy playgroup and loves other dogs; cats not so much! He’s also our go-to ambassador and has represented the shelter at two events, including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. He’s met scores of people, and he’s loved every single one. We think Spud would do well with respectful children of almost any age. Spud is ready to retire as an ambassador to devote himself to a family of his own. if you’re looking for a ”furever” bud, come and meet the dog named Spud! For more information about adoption, call 315-454-4479, email frontdesk1@ cnyspca.org, or click on cnyspca.org.

richard l Pitman, 76 lifetime

skaneateles resident

On Friday, March 17, 2023, Richard L Pitman, affectionately known as Dick, passed away at the age of 76 after a long illness and went home to be with his Lord and savior. Dick, born on July 23, 1946, was a lifelong resident of Skaneateles.

Dick was a 1964 graduate of Skaneateles High School and went on to graduate with an Associate Degree from Cayuga Community College. Dick has had many accomplishments in his life. He served in the US Army as a helicopter mechanic from 1966-1972.

He was an integral part of the Mottville Fire Company where he served on the Board of Commissioners for 20 years.

Dick was a member of the Robert J. Hydon American Legion Post 239 and performed the role of co-chair for the Bell Jar Committee.

For many years he was on the committee for Operation Christmas Hope to aide veterans and their families. As a member of Post 239, he received the prestigious Erik J Amberge Selfless Service Award.

Dick was a past president of the Board of Directors for the Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce and was involved in the annual Classic and Antique Boat show where he served on the committee for several years.

Dick loved his church family and was on the Vestry for eight years. He was affiliated with the Laker Limo Transportation Van, where he volunteered and served as vice president.

Dick was known in the Skaneateles community as the helpful and smiling face at Skaneateles Savings Bank where he started working in 1972. He had a wonderful career in banking with Key Bank and M&T Bank, where he retired after 38 years in 2010.

Dick is survived by his loving wife Dorothy (Timm) Pitman of 49 years. He and Dot loved to garden, travel, dine

FROM THE MAILBAG

In her column on decluttering her house (an issue I struggle with myself!) Ann Ferro mentions “the other side of a pair of lost earrings” as something she needs to get rid of.

I would imagine there are a lot of people that have those, and probably a lot of people just throw them in the trash. As an artist who works with found objects, I would love to get my hands on these little treasures, to incorporate in my artwork.

I suspect my husband wouldn’t like it so much, since I already have way too many found objects, but if Mrs. Ferro can “not tell” her husband about getting rid of some of his mugs, maybe I can “not tell” my husband about acquiring some of these single earrings. LOL.

balDWinSville MealS on WheelS FunDraiSing Chair

A famous Doctor of Geriatrics in the US wrote an article many years ago in Golf Digest about another very famous and wealthy person. e doctor was y-two years old at the time and carried a 10 handicap. He claimed that for reasons of professional ethics, he wished to remain anonymous. Golf Digest honored his wish and printed the story.

e story is about a man who, at the age of y-three seemed to be on his way to an early grave. By the time this gentlemen was forty-three, he had already built a company that was considered the largest monopoly in the world. Ten years later, he became the richest man in the world by a large margin. For years he had become a-costumed to; 70-80 hour work weeks, endless worry, sleepless nights, lack of exercise and rest. His physical condition became so acute, his doctors restricted him to drinking only milk…human milk. is man’s income was approximately one million dollars per week, and yet, for two dollars a week, at that time, he probably paid for all of the food he ate. He literally had no time for anything except making money and teaching Sunday school. His doctors told him the road back to a healthy life was going to be a “very slow and tedious process”. ey gave him three rules to follow and convinced him that unless he followed the rules, he would remain not only unhealthy but also unhappy for the rest of his life.

e ree Simple Rules were:

1. Avoid worry.

2. Relax and have plenty of mild exercise in-the-open-air.

3. Watch your diet. Always stop eating while you’re still a little hungry. Doesn’t this sound like the advise your doctor would give you today, if you had the same symptoms that the y-three year old billionaire had? By the way, there is a book about the billionaire’s life and how he literally turned it around by simply following all three rules…to-the-letter…for the rest of his life.

e billionaire golfer had a very di cult time time trying to nd a form of mild exercise he enjoyed. He tried a whole bunch of things including walking, pitching horseshoes and bowling but got tired of all of them. When he was sixty-years old he nally found his solution. He took up golf! From the start, his “mild exercise” routine hardly ever

out and get together with family and friends. Dick also leaves behind his four children, Mark (Krista) Pitman, Long Island, N.Y., Geoffrey (Bethany) Pitman, Skaneateles, Michael (Stephanie) Pitman, Skaneateles, and Jennifer (Collin) Kirkpatrick, Aiken, SC. To cherish his memories are his eight beautiful and loving grandchildren; Nathaniel, Benjamin, Lily, Owen, Amelia, Avery, Kelsey, and Zoey; Sisters Joan Clark, Venice, FL and Karen Gilmore, Marcellus. Special Sister-in-Law Heidi Oney, Skaneateles, NY and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Dick was predeceased in death by his parents Reese and June (Sweet) Pitman.

Calling hours for Richard will be held on March 21st from 4-7 p.m. at Robert D. Gray Funeral Home, Skaneateles.

A funeral service took place on Wednesday, March 22, at 10 a.m. at St. James Episcopal Church, Skaneateles with a private burial following.

Contributions may be made to the Robert J. Hydon American Legion Post No. 239, 1 Wainwright Lane, Skaneateles, NY 13152 or to the Mottville Fire Company, P.O Box 9, Mottville, NY 13119.

included more than 9 holes at a time. In later years, he played only a few holes at a time and nally was reduced to just “knocking out a few drives or playing one hole a day while riding in a wheel chair between shots”.

When he was in his seventies, he wrote the following letter to a business friend: “I believe I have recovered my health. I feel better than I have felt in years. I believe the improvement in my condition is due to my newly acquired habit of playing golf. During my California stay, I became adept and enjoyed the game immensely. I felt like a new man”.

e letter was signed…JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. Mr. Rockefeller was ninetyeight when he passed away in 1937. e anonymous Doctor of Geriatrics who wrote the article about Mr. Rockefeller, had his article printed in the June issue of Golf Digest in 1952.

I have a hunch the anonymous doctor was one of Mr. Rockefeller’s physicians who recommended the ree Simple Rules because the end of the article summarizes the story in this way…

“ e rules given to Mr. Rockefeller have stood the test of time so well that they gave a man past the age of sixty the best, the happiest, the healthiest years of his life. Avoid worry, for it is the number one killer of man today. Relax and take plenty of mild exercise in the open air. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the word mild. Learn your capacity in all things. Play only that amount of golf which does not tire you unduly. Watch your diet and avoid overweight. Eat lightly before exercise and avoid eating when overtired”.

It’s been 71 years since the article about Mr. Rockefeller appeared in Golf Digest. ey are the best “ ree Simple Rules” of life I have ever read. IT’S NEVER TOO LATE!
