Even if you have a 401(k),you're probably still eligible tocontribute to an IRA. A tradi-tional IRA grows tax deferred,while a Roth IRAs earningsare tax-free, provided you'vehad your account at least fiveyears and don't start takingwithdrawals until you're age59%. (Your ability to contributeto a Roth IRA is based on yourincome.) You can fund yourIRA with virtually any type ofinvestment. In 2010, you can putup to $5,000 into your IRA, or$6,000 if you're age 50 or older,although, as was the case withyour 401(k), these limits mayrise if they're indexed for infla-tion.
Rebalance your invest-ments as needed. Over time,your goals and risk tolerancecan change. That's why it's agood idea to review and rebal-ance your portfolio at least oncea year possibly with the help ofa professional financial advi-sor who is familiar with yoursituation.

OPINIONEditorial Make your New Year's financial resolutions
Like many people, you maymake some New Year's resolu-tions.
Perhaps you've promisedyourself you'll visit the gymmore often or learn a newlanguage or reconnect with along-lost friend. All of these areworthy goals, of course, and ifyou achieve them, you may addnew dimensions to your life.But if you want to accomplishother major milestones youmay have envisioned - a newhome, college for your kids, acomfortable retirement and soon - you may need to set someNew Year's finaneial resolu-tions.
What type of financial reso-lutions should you make? Hereare a few ideas to consider.
Contribute as much as youcan afford to your 401(k). Takefull advantage of your 401(k)or other employer sponsoredretirement plan. Your contribu-tions are typically tax-deduct-ible, and your earnings grow ona tax-deferred basis. Every timeyou get a boost in salary, tryto increase the amount going -into your 401(k), but at the veryleast, contribute enough to earnthe employer's match, if one isoffered. In 2010, the contribu-tion limit for 401(k) plans is$16,500, or $22,000 if you're age50 or older, although both theselimits may increase if they areindexed for inflation.

OPINIONLooking Backward
The Curious Case of Charlie Blake - part IIBy Steve McMahonbrillehistory@earthhoknet
COURTESY OF ROGER LUTHER ASYLUMS OF NEW YORK STATE NYSASYI UM
ABOVE: Front view of the NewYork State Lunatic Asylum in Utica as it looked in 2007. Known later as the Utica StateHospital, it was also known locally as 'Old Main.' In 1978, 135 years after opening, patients were transferred to otherbuildings and Old Main was closed.RIGHT: Charles Uperaft of South Hannibal, shown here in 1910 at age 75 wearing his Civil War medals and foragecap. A veteran of Oswego County's 184th Regiment of New York State Volunteers, he was the father of Anna EstellaUperaft, whom Charlie Blake tried to marry in South Hannibal on NewYear's Day, 1881, two days after getting hitchedto Bettie Foster eight miles away in Lysander. Uperaft had the Oswego County Supreme Court name him "guardianad litem" of his 16 year-old daughter, after which he filed suit on her behalf against Blake for breach of promise in theamount of $2,000, besides costs.
This week we conclude "TheCurious Case of Charlie Blake,"whose lovesickness hit himright in the midst of the holidayseason. After courting BettieFoster for six months, Charliemarried her on Dec. 30, 1880.About 45 guests witnessed thewedding on that cold and windyday at the home of her parents,Delanson and Clarinda Foster,just south of Lysander hamlet.
But, the New Year beganbadly for the Blakes. Accordingto the Syracuse Courier, "Theirhoneymoon was brief. After theelapse of a few days, he returnedhis bride to her home, and toldher that he should see her nevermore. In tears she imploredhim not to forsake her, but hewas obdurate, and left her ablighted life." Then Charlie re-turned home to his father, JohnBlake, in the town of Ira. TheFoster family was bewilderedby Blake's behavior.
The very next day Delansonwrote in his diary, "I have beento church and up to J. E. (JohnE.) Blake's." The two fathersmet five times over the next twoweeks, ostensibly to break downany barriers to connubial blissbetween Charlie and Bettie.
Delanson's only other notewor-thy entry during that time wason Jan. 8, 1881. "Pleasant andcold. I and Bettie went up to Mr.Uperaft's," (the father of yetanother girl).
Born in England in 1835,Charles Uperaft immigrated atage 10 to the town of Scriba. Hemarried Mary Ann Hadden andmoved to the town of Sterling,
where their oldest child. Annawas born. Later, they relocatedto South Hannibal, where by allaccounts. Anna's appearanceturned many heads. CharlieBlake's was no exception, as hehad grown up there, too.
According to court docu-ments, Charlie came to courtAnna frequently from the timeshe turned 16 on Jan. 12, 1880,six months before he first vis-
ited Bettie Foster. The two oftenexchanged their "attention andaffections." Charlie asked herto marry him on April Fool'sDay. Anna agreed and "it wasmutually understood...thatthey should be united in mar-riage." Charlie "continued tovisit and wait upon" Anna allyear. That should have stoppedwhen Charlie married Bettie onDec. 30, 1880. But according to

Health classes at Baker High School recentlyparticipated in a project entitled "Body Talk,"coordinated by Harriet Brown, an assistantprofessor in magazine journalism at SyracuseUniversity's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Com-munications.
Brown has been collecting positive and negativeaudio stories, many anonymous, from people con-cerning their feelings about their bodies and food.Brown will use some of these stories on a web siteshe is developing and others for National PublicRadio's "51 Percent, The Women's Perspective."
The students recorded their stories as podcastsin the school's computer lab, and Baker's librarymedia specialist Pat Wilson compiled them into
By Kelly Cary, BCSD one submission for Brown.For some of the students, the project was their
first experience with podcasting. Health teacherJeanna Gates said the opportunity to use thetechnology for this project tied in nicely with anutrition unit the health classes were complet-ing. Gates said her students and teacher CorinnePrice's students had been studying body imageand eating disorders with this unit, and mostwere excited to share their thoughts and experi-ences regarding these issues in a personal, yetanonymous way.
Students' recorded stories included subjectssuch as food cravings, the persuasion of the mediain making food choices, meeting weight require-ments for certain athletic teams and living witha family member with an eating disorder.

By Joanna KenneyExecutive Council French Club
If you ask any one of the Bak-er French Club's 80 members,they'll tell you that Novemberwas an extremely busy month.
The club celebrated NationalFrench Week from Nov. 3 to 10,which was kicked off by a visitto the Turner to Cezanne exhibitat the Everson Museum. Thestudents also had a chance tocreate their own masterpiecesby coloring copies of Frenchimpressionist paintings, whichcovered the wall outside aFrench classroom. Emily Den-gler, Frankie I,ibbon, CarlosClemenz, Kelsey Eckler, Lind-sey Casson and Sarah Mitchellcreated exceptionally accuratereproductions of their paint-ings. These colorful creationsnot only introduced the schoolto French art, but also displayedthe enthusiasm and apprecia-tion for French culture presentat Baker High.
The Cercle Franois celebrat-ed National French week in avariety of other ways. French
music was played on the morn -ing announcements, a word ofthe day was posted in the hall-way and French recipes weregiven out for all students to tryAlso, students showed theirenthusiasm by proudly wear -ing their French-American flagpins. On Nov. 10, C,ercle Francaishosted a party for all studentswith crepes and a French movie:
a perfect way to end the week.After National French week,
it is easy to see Cercle Francais'appreciation and enthusiasmfor all things French. The clubhas become one of the biggestand most involved studentorganizations at Baker HighSchool. and there's no doubt itwill continue to do great thingsthroughout the year.

and calculation of its variousreserves. One example is thelimited view taken by the comp-troller regarding the district'sfunding of the Tax Certiorarireserve.
"The district knew in June2009 that Anheuser Buschwould file a large tax certiorariin July 2009. Anheuser Buschfiled a tax certiorari worth $1.5million on July 27, 2009. In an-ticipation of this, the districtadded to the reserve for TaxCertiorari in June. It shouldbe pointed out our externalauditor did not take exceptionto this action. According tothe comptroller, adding to thisreserve should have occurrbdin 2009-10. In his opinion, thedistrict added money to thisreserve too soon," Cary said.
State auditors also dis-covered the district allowed aformer interim superintendentto defer salary payments so shecould collect her full pensionwhile still working full-timefor the district in the 2002-03school year Since that time, theformer interim superintendenthas received salary paymentsof $87,690.
"In 2002, an interim super-intendent was hired while thedistrict searched for a perma-nent replacement. The districtand the individual reached anagreement that was preparedand approved by the district'sattorney regarding the interimsuperintendent's compensa-tion," Cary said. "Unfortunate-y, a dispute has since developed
over some of the terms in thisagreement between the interimsuperintendent and the Teach-er Retirement System. Theindividual involved reacheda settlement of the issue withthe Teacher Retirement Systemin 2009. Although the districtacted upon the advice of coun-sel, the comptroller chose tocriticize the district for its ac-tions. While the district feelsthis criticism is tuifair, it willwork to ensure that any suchfuture agreements are properlydesigned so as not to violatelaws and regulations that gov-ern payroll transactions."
Cary noted that the auditdid not find any fault withthe district's accounts pay-able practices, the treasurer'shandling of cash receipts,receivables or disbursements,purchasing, claims auditing,accounting, investments orpayroll.
"This reflects the district'scommitment to establishingand maintaining internal con-trols," she said. "District resi-dents can be assured that theirmonies have been safeguardedand used as intended."
Cary said the district facesnumerous financial obstaclesin the coming years includ-ing mid-year cuts to state aid,increases in expenses such asretirement and health insur-ance and significant declinesin revenue.
"To keep the tax rate downfor 2010-11, the district willneed to use its reserves, justas a homeowner would need
to use a savings account to payfor unforeseen expenses," Carysaid. "In light of New Yorkstate's economic uncertaintyand how it is affecting state aidto school districts, the districtreserves benefit taxpayers andprotect them from significantincreases in tax rates at a timewhen they can least afford it."
"Our past budgets haveprepared the district and theBaldwinsville community forfuture economic challengesand hard times by settingaside reasonable and prudentreserves to help mitigate thesefuture financial challengeswhile maintaining student in-struction and programs," Carysaid. "Those future economicchallenges, those hard timesthat the district prepared forwith our past budgets, are herenow, and the Baldwinsville_community will benefit from •the district's foresight."
Recommendations made tothe district by DiNapoli's officeinclude:
preparing budgets thatrealistically estimate the reve-nues and appropriations neededto finance district operations;
w include an accurate budgetprovision for the amount theboard intends to transfer toreserves and other funds;
w properly accounting forand reporting post-retirementhealth insurance costs and themoneys held by the district tofund the costs;
reviewing all reservescurrently established and de-termine if the balances are
necessary, reasonable and incompliance with statutory re-quirements;
use the surplus fund bal-ance to benefit district taxpay-ers including increasing neces-sary reserves, paying off debt,financing one-time expenseor reducing district propertytaxes; and
reviewing the employmentstatus of any retirees paid bythe district and verify they areproperly reported to the retire-ment systems.
District officials plan to sub-mit a corrective action plan tothe comptroller's office to ad-dress the fmdings identified inthe report. To review the audit,visit osc.state.ny.us/localgov/audits/schools/2009/baldwins-ville.pdf.

ed to the residence of MissUperaft and desired her toelope with him. The younglady's mother objected andinsisted that he shouldmarry her daughter in herown domicile. He consentedto the proposition and Mr.Uperaft obtained ElderCross of South Hannibalto perform the ceremony"The parents assembledsome 60 guests to witnessthe blessed event.
The Courier contin-ues. "On entering the resi-dence...and receiving an in-troduction to the contract-ing parties, (Elder Cross)was shocked to recognize inthe would-be-bridegroom,the gentleman whom scarcethree days since he hadpronounced the husbandof Miss (Bettie) Foster. Herefused to tie the knot andexplained the consequencesof the law should he do it...Blake retired despondent."
Unfortunately for Charlie,the same preacher had beencalled for both weddings. Andaccording to Article 255.15 ofthe New York State Penal Laws,"A person is guilty of bigamywhen he contracts or purportsto contract a marriage with an-other person at a time when hehas a living spouse, or the otherperson has a living spouse." Big-amy is punishable by up to fouryears in prison. But, Blake's badluck didn't end there.
Charles Uperaft soon filed acivil suit on Anna's behalf inOswego County Supreme Court.It stipulated that on Jan. 1, 1881,Charlie "called upon (Anna) atabout noon and it was...mutu-ally agreed.. .that they should beunited in marriage.. ..(Charlie)then stated and represented to
(Anna) that he was not marriedto any other person, whereupon(Anna) and her parents pro-ceeded to make arrangementsfor such marriage in the eve-ning...."
"In the evening., after theguests were assembled at (An-na's) house to witness the mar-riage ceremony... (Elder Cross)ascertained.. .that (Charlie) hadon or about the 30th day of De-cember 1880 been duly marriedto one Betsy Foster and... there-by rendered incompetent tomarry (Anna)." Charles Uperaftdemanded judgment againstCharlie Blake for $2,000. besidescosts.
According to the Courier,"Blake's friends, either doubt-ing his sanity, or seeking toshield him from the terrorsof a breach of promise suit.
had a trio of physiciansmake a diagnosis of hiscase." They concludedthat he was insane. Hissymptoms included "lossof memory concerningrecent events; sleepless-ness; melancholy; delu-sions; unnatural hatredof relatives; incoherency;and (his) appearance ingeneral." This could de-scribe almost anyone on abad day. Nevertheless, onJan. 20, 1881, Delanson'sdiary entry reads, "Thisafternoon I and Clarindawent up to Mr. Blake's.They took Charlie to theasylum yesterday"
Was Charlie Blake cra-zy? Or, was he simplyamorous or avaricious?Anna Uperaft was indeedbeautiful, perhaps theprettiest girl in Hannibal.But, she was only 16. Andaccording to the Courier,"Miss Foster was an heir-ess." But, her grandfatherFoster bequeathed to Bet-
tie just a small sum when hedied in 1875, much less than the$2,000 Charlie stood to lose inthe lawsuit.
Anna Uperaft ultimately mar-ried Frank Piguet and had twochildren, Mabel and Leon. Bet-tie Foster married Grove Willer.Their only child, Ray DelansonFoster Willer, died of diphtheriaat age 10. After he was releasedfrom the asylum (some timebefore 1885), Charlie Blake mar-ried twice more. Charlie and hissecond wife, Mary Quade, hadjust two children, both of whomdied in childhood. As I said lastweek, young life was just as frag-ile as young love back then (as itis today), a lesson Charlie Blakelearned all too well.

B'ville girls takes pair of close defeatsBy Phil Blackwellpbiockwell@cnyliniccom
All the right things werehappening to the Baldwinsvillegirls basketball team in the finalminute of Tuesday night's gameagainst unbeaten Fayetteville-Manlius.
Down by a point, the Beessaw F-M's best player, EmilyTrapani, foul out, and also sawthe Hornets missed two frontends of one-and-one free-throwchances, all of which gave theBees a chance to win in the clos-ing seconds.
But with one clutch play, AllPliszka helped F-M pull out a 47-44 victory - which was also theBees' second close defeat in asmany outigs.
Despite all the Bees tried todo to stop her, Trapani had, attimes, carried F-M's offense.The four-year senior forward'seight consecutive points in thesecond quarter helped the Hor-nets erase B'ville's 23-15 second-quarter lead, and she continuedto strike in the second half,despite constant double teamsfrom B'ville defenders.
Trapani had 22 points by thetime she went to the bench withher fifth foul with 49.2 secondsand her team ahead 45-43. Mag-gie Monnat sank a free throw tomake it 45-44, and then the dramareally kicked in.
Alexis Rios and CharlotteBeers both were fouled. Both ofthem missed foul shots, givingthe Bees new life as, with 19.2
seconds left, B'ville called a time-out to set up what it hoped wouldbe a winning basket.
Instead, when Claire Monnatattempted a pass to the middle,Pliszka stepped in front of it andmade the clutch steal. Fouledwith 4.8 seconds left, Pliszkamade both free throws to buildthe margin to three, and a des-peration shot by the Bees fellshort at the buzzer.
It was no small irony that asteal would be the game's crucialplay, for it was a series of stealsfrom Claire Monnat that helpedB'ville go into the lead and keepit for much of the first half. Mon-nat finished off the plays, too,getting 18 points to lead her side.Meg Collins had eight pointsbefore she, like Trapani, fouled
out late in the game.Ultimately, F-M cut down on
the turnovers in the second halfand, when Trapani was covered,teammates like Beers and Plisz-ka (eight points each) would getkey baskets.
Back on Dec. 18, also at home,the Bees saw a three game winstreak snapped with a 47-44 de-feat to the Raiders.
Proctor, at 2-3 on the season, istrying to hang in there throughthe regular season as its starguard, Brianna Kiesel, heals abroken wrist suffered earlierthis month. She hopes to comeback before the season ends.
B'ville took advantage of thisat first, seizing a 13-9 lead in thefirst quarter. But in the secondperiod, the Bees slumped, held
to four points, as Proctor wentin front.
Throughout the second half,B'ville made a series of runs, butProctor kept answering behind!Cerra Arthur's 17 points -andSarina Olds' 15 rebounds.
In defeat, the Bees had Clairepoints,Monnat put up 17 while
Maggie Monnat got nine points.Lauren McVey had seven pointsand Carly Gummer earned sixpoints - but injured her knee,which could cost her the rest ofthe season.
The Bees would take a 3-3record to East Syraouse-Minoaon Monday and Tuesday for theannual Vince Cell MemorialTournament. B'ville plays hostESM in the opening round, thenwill get Auburn or Whitesboro.

Oswego did have a fairshare of chances to get on theboard throughout the game.But Brett Earle, Connor Ber-trand and the rest of the Bees'defenders blocked shots andpushed Oswego away, whileMark Miller stopped all 24shots he faced.
Four different times, B'villeprevailed, including the 55-meter dash, where Rudy Sappwon among individuals (6.80seconds) and Todd Mitchell wasfourth (7.01 seconds), for a com-bined 13.81 seconds.

Seneca Federal helps seniors stay in their homesSeneca Federal Savings and
Loan Association has an oldfashioned, home financing planto help seniors afford the homesthey want to stay in, accordingto Christopher E. Demong, Presi-dent of the local community bank."A thirty year fixed rate mortgagemay be a perfect solution for manyseniors. They can consolidatedebt and minimize their monthlypayments to free up cash theyneed to live on," Demong said.
He believes many seniors havethe misconception they can't
qualify for long term mortgageloans because of their age. "That'snot true, and it's discrimina-tory for mortgage lenders to denylong term mortgage financing toseniors because of their age," ac-cording to the Bank's President.Seneca promotes such financingat currently attractive fixed ratesas a means to keep seniors intheir homes. "It's devastating forseniors to uproot from the homesthey love and be forced to movewhen something as simple as athirty year mortgage loan may
make their home more affordablethan rent at alternative residenc-es," Demong said.
Other alternatives such asreverse mortgages may not beappropriate. Demong added, "Re-verse mortgages are complicated,there are fees involved that mayexceed closing costs typical of amortgage loan, and the productmay not free up enough equityto accomplish what the seniorhomeowner wants." He addedthe closing costs on a 30 year mort-gage loan are typicnily rolled into
