Winifred Frazee Gulick of Jenner’s Pond

Winifred Frazee Gulick, 92, of Jenner’s Pond, died peacefully with family members present on Nov. 12. She was born to Elwood and Mildred Frazee on April 3, 1930, in Orange, New Jersey, and raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey.

Win was a graduate of Keuka College class of 1951. She met her husband, W. Lawrence “Lawry” Gulick, a student at Hamilton College, on a blind date. Married on 18 October 1952, they had just celebrated their 70^th wedding anniversary.

After her children reached school age, she worked at the Dartmouth College Athletic Department and in the Development Office at Hamilton College. She was an avid crafter, known for her quilts and knitting. After retirement, she started her own business making custom American Girl doll clothes.

After living on or near four college campuses and serving as a key member of those campus communities, Win and Lawry settled at Jenner’s Pond Retirement Community in 2003. At Jenner’s Pond she served as the chairperson of the knit/crochet club, co-chair of the craft show for many years, was an active member of the quilt club, the garden club, and was a Wii bowling champion. When she ran the knit/crochet club, she was responsible for ensuring that hundreds of hats were sent every year to area NICU units, to the cancer center in Kennett Square, to the Lakota Indian reservation in South Dakota, and to the St. Joseph’s Indian School.

Win was known as someone who showed she cared for people through her good deeds. Whether giving jam to neighbors, helping area non-profits, or sharing her talent for sewing with others, she was always there to lend a helping hand. Because she cared for the students in the north country at St. Lawrence University, she and other members of the family and friends endowed a scholarship for north country students engaged in community service.

She was a wonderful grandmother who showed patience, creativity, and willingness to listen. She will be missed by us all. She is survived by her husband, Lawry, three children Hans, Tod, and Kristina, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Services and burial will be held privately.

Concord holds budget hearing

Local News Concord, Local News

where tax $ go — A percentage breakdown of how tax dollars are spent, according to the proposed 2023 budget.

Concord Township Council Tuesday night held a hearing for the 2023 budget and the proposal offers no tax increase. Before the hearing, though, council members voted to grant Rosalie restaurant conditional use approval for outdoor dining. That conditional use hearing was held on Nov. 1.

Rosalie wants to move into the site of the former Ruby’s Diner in the Shoppes at Brinton Lake. The approval came with a total of 16 conditions. Among them are limiting the outdoor dining to April 1 through the end of October, and no outdoor bar, though patrons may be served alcohol from the indoor area. Access to the outdoor dining area may only be from inside the restaurant and the seating capacity is limited to 99 patrons.

As for the budget, the current millage rate is expected to remain what it has been. The current general fund millage rate is 0.206. Additionally, there are 0.064 mils for the library fund, 0.105 for fire services, and 0.139 for open space. Those millage rates combined come to 0.514 for properties that have fire hydrants, and 0.453 for properties without hydrants. (A mil is a tax of $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.)

Those figures break down to 40 percent of the tax revenue going toward general services, 12 percent for the library, 9 percent for fire services, 27 percent for open space, and 12 percent for fire hydrants.

In real numbers, the spending plan includes a general fund budget of $4,112,600 — both revenue and expenses. — and includes $500,000 for the road program for paving projects, and more than $450,000 for land acquisition and historic preservation.

Furthermore, more than $800,000 is budgeted for public safety and $950,000 for trail and park Improvements, $270,000 dedicated to the Concordville Fire Co., and $800,000 for grant-funded projects.

The proposal includes a Sewer Operating Fund Budget of $4,089,965.

The full budget proposal with details of revenues and expenses can be found here.

Council is scheduled to vote on the budget at its next regular meeting on Dec. 6.
