DiNapoli: Former Norwood Treasurer charged with stealing over $70K from the St. Lawrence County village
State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, St. Lawrence County District Attorney Gary Pasqua and the New York State Police today announced that Nancy Berger, 55, formerly the Clerk/Treasurer of the Village of Norwood, was arrested for allegedly stealing $73,725 from the Village.
“Nancy Berger is accused of stealing funds from the Village of Norwood, a violation of her community’s trust and an abuse of her position as a public official,” DiNapoli said. “Thanks to my partnership with the St. Lawrence District Attorney’s Office and the New York State Police, we will make sure that justice is served on behalf of Norwood’s residents.”
“I will continue to work with the State Police and Comptroller’s Office to hold the defendant accountable, rectify the financial losses incurred by the Village of Norwood, and assure the people of Norwood that my office will work to restore confidence in its public servants,” said District Attorney Pasqua.
Berger is accused of stealing the funds between 2018 and 2022 by writing Village checks to herself. Her alleged theft was initially uncovered by the Village and she resigned from her position shortly after in June 2022. Berger was appointed Clerk/Treasurer in January 2017.
This case was reported by the Village to the St. Lawrence District Attorney’s Office, which then contacted the Office of the New York State Comptroller.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced the beginning of several hunting seasons in New York, including bowhunting for bear and deer in the Northern and Southern zones and the start of small game hunting seasons statewide.
“This is an exciting time of year for hunters who now have an opportunity to head afield and experience the tremendous hunting opportunities here in New York for both big and small game,” Commissioner Seggos said. “In addition, the late summer weather, fall foliage, and extended hunting hours combine to create outstanding conditions for new and experienced hunters who enjoy the sport.”

Repairs made but boil water order still on
Photos – School Street break yesterday and repair work being done this morning, followed by Elm Street photos. School street line break and Elm Street photos were taken by Town Supervisor Brandy McDonald.
Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022 – Peru – Peru Water and Sewer personnel worked until the early morning hours to restore water service to hamlet water users. On Tuesday, major water line breaks at Elm St. “S” turn interrupted service. Pressured water quickly filled a nearby construction project trench. After several hours, pumps lowered the water, enabling crews to repair the broken line; however, when they recharged it, a School Street line burst. Crews worked until after 1 a.m. this morning to fix that break. This morning town highway personnel are preparing to pave the School Street repair area.
The system-wide boil water order continues. The Water-Sewer Department will send three samples for lab testing today. Water Superintendent Courtney Tetrault said he is hopeful that the Health Department will give his clearance to lift the boil order tomorrow, if not Friday.
