For Local Massage Therapist, Using Pure Essential Oils is a Must Connie Wehmeyer, licensed Massage Therapist, clinically certified Aromatherapy Practitioner, and owner of Subtle Energies Holistic Health Center spoke at the NYS Massage Convention in Corning, NY. Wehmeyer taught a nine hour course (for continuing education units) on "Using Aromatherapy in Your Massage Practice" and "Aromatherapy First Aid." "My goal at this convention was to help other massage therapists learn how to use true aromatherapy in their practice – using the correct pure essential oils combined properly and in a proper carrier," said Wehmeyer. "Using true aromatherapy in their practice will help all massage therapists help their clients more effectively, thereby enhancing the massage profession." When asked why she felt this was important, Ms. Wehmeyer cited that the synthetic products "called" aromatherapy often cause severe allergies. Also, she continued explaining that some firms are more interested in selling the products rather than training people to be true aromatherapists. "This can potentially lead to problems for the client," she said. "I hope and strongly feel my presentation at the convention will help massage therapists better understand this beautiful science and art so they can recognize the need for correct training when using aromatherapy in their practice." Ms. Wehmeyer has nine years and over 800 hours of aromatherapy training. She is the author of "Aromatherapy and the 5 Elements."

The annual School District Budget is the key component in the District’s planning for its educational programs for 2005-06 and beyond. In constructing the budget, great care is taken to provide for educational excellence and an affordable spending plan. The Board, in adopting the budget as trustee for the people, is acting on its legal responsibility for the people of the state to ensure a budget adequate to carry out its policies and the laws and regulations of the state. The budget that will be presented to the voters has been carefully constructed to provide for consistent improvement in academic performance. Tightening Our Belts The District has pursued various initiatives to save tax dollars for operating our school district for 2005-06: • Excellent bond refinancing rating resulted in an overall taxpayer savings of $2 million over the life of the bond (18 years) and $112,447 in the 2005-06 budget • Review of Special Education state aid placements resulted in additional revenue of approximately $200,000 • New district insurance program for additional savings of approximately $200,000 • Development of Automated District Substitute Staff Calling System for savings of $6,000 per year. • $294,127 Federal Grant for Smaller Learning Communities and $50,000 Special Legislative Grant • Elimination of one elementary and one Middle School teaching positions for a savings of $174,636 including benefits • Self-insured Workers’ Compensation Program with Orange County School Districts (1992-present) for a savings of $348,243 • Self-insured Health Insurance Program with Orange County School Districts (1983-present) for a savings of $5.8 million • Cooperative Bid with districts throughout Orange and Rockland Counties for electricity with an estimated savings of $90,000 • Cooperative Bidding for various supplies and materials with districts throughout Orange County for an estimated savings of 20% to 50% • $3 million of building alterations and modifications for energy savings throughout all future years at no cost to the taxpayer • Reduction of $170,000 annual electrical costs from this year and avoidance of any more increase due to district Energy Performance contracting The Educational Side of Our Enterprise • Low class sizes (K-5) • Four out of five graduates pursue higher education • All-County and New State Student Music Awards • Middle School teacher received 2005 Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation Award • Grade 5 Instrumental/Strings Program • AP Courses and Academic Support Services in Math, Science, English, Social Studies, Foreign Language • Choice of three Learning Institutes and variety of electives at High School • Athletic Championships at County, State and Section Levels • Cross Country Team State Champion Scholar Athlete Award • 17 teams received Public High School Scholar Athlete Awards • National Merit Scholarship Finalist • Expenditure/pupil below State and County average • 1.2% drop-out rate • Middle School Grade 8 ELA Results #1 in Orange County (16 Districts) • Middle School State Education Department designation as a State Support School • Elementary School Grade 4 Math Results #1 in Orange County (16 Districts) Financial Issues Impacting the School District’s 2005-06 Budget • 11% increase in health insurance costs • Increases in retirement and health insurance costs of $1.2 million • Increased costs for fuel oil and gasoline of $495,146 • Increased costs in Special Education services $1,208,999 • Increased High School enrollment What Happens if the Budget is Defeated? State-imposed budget restrictions for a failed budget could result in cuts estimated from $750,000 to $1,500,000 with taxes still increasing significantly. A defeated budget could mean possible cuts in the following areas, as well as other areas or reduction: Elimination of…. • full-day Kindergarten • athletic teams • instructional and other staff positions • clubs, intramurals and field trips • activity bus runs Reductions in…. • cocurricular activities • instructional equipment • curriculum and staff development • High School and Middle School academic programs • High School and Middle School elective programs • Music and Art programs (K-12) • number of bus stops Increases in…. • class sizes (K-12) • fees for facility use "The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live."
