School Budget Passes / Board Remains Same Size


The Whitehall School Budget of $20.1 million was approved by the voters recently by a vote of 140 to 27.

The tax levy will only increase about $28,000 because state aid sees an increase also from this year’s budget.

The proposal to decrease the size of the school board ultimately failed because of an 86-86 tie vote.

All five candidates who filed petitions were elected to terms of varying length.

Next year’s school spending will be $20.1 million dollars for our district, which had a total enrollment of 672 K-12 students for the 2022-2023 school year.

Thoughts on June

June was always a great month for us as children because it was the beginning of summer vacation. When you are a child, three months of summer vacation seems like an eternity with September light years away. We were always encouraged to read, play golf or tennis, and generally stay busy. Our mother wouldn’t allow any TV watching. Such good memories. Those childhood memories stay with you for a lifetime. Parents have it a bit harder. It’s a lot to manage with many children at home. Many of the grandparents and extended families in the community help with watching younger ones during the summer months.

Huletts has always been a place for families. It can be hard with all the summer commotion and activities, but the sounds of children always make it worthwhile. Hopefully 2023 will be a wonderful year of making good memories for all families. Young and old! Three months of happiness starts today.

Stiling Ferguson Knight: August 28, 1926 – April 20, 2023


Stiling Ferguson (Ty) Knight, 96, resident of Huletts Landing, NY, passed away peacefully on April 20, 2023, surrounded by family.

Ty was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on August 28, 1926. As a boy, he attended the one-room Red Schoolhouse in Huletts Landing, NY, and was always an avid reader. He graduated from Whitehall High School in 1943. At seventeen years old, Ty enlisted in the U.S. Army. He served in Europe, as a Browning Automatic Rifle specialist, with the 4th Infantry Division. He was awarded medals and citations, including Bronze Service Stars for campaigns in Germany and Central Europe, the Combat Infantry Badge, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Belgian Fourragère and Presidential Unit Citation for his unit’s action in the Battle of the Bulge demonstrating exceptional heroism in accomplishing its mission under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions. After serving in World War II, Ty graduated from Columbia University, School of General Studies, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He had a successful career as a research chemist for Best Foods, a division of CPC International. Ty was an organic chemist and held several patents on edible oils that were essential to the development of Best Foods’ products such as Mazola® corn oil.

Ty met his beloved wife of 66 years, Delphine (Del) Wagner Knight, in Huletts Landing, when they were teenagers. After Ty returned from serving in World War II, Del and Ty married on June 4, 1955. They raised their family in Forest Hills, NY, and Huletts Landing. Ty was a devoted, loving and supportive son, husband, father and grandfather. He was a protector and champion of his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends listening, advising and encouraging them to succeed in their endeavors and try new adventures. Ty loved reading books, especially on military history and politics, researching, writing, sharing ideas, playing golf, swimming and boating on Lake George, walking in the woods and gazing out at the Lake, as well as visiting with friends and neighbors.

Ty was predeceased by his beloved wife, Del, his parents, Winthrop Proctor and Edith Babb Knight, his brother, David Winthrop Knight, and his sister, Molly Knight Minon. He is survived by his children Delphine Knight (Sean) Brown of Darien, CT, and Dr. William Stiling Gerard (Emia) Knight of Port Washington, NY; his grandchildren Derek William Chan Knight, Ian Wagner Brown, Caitlin Chan Knight and Delphine Marie Brown; as well as many treasured nieces and nephews.
