“In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.” – John Adams
Good Monday Morning,
It was supposed to be cold yesterday morning but not -3.8º! A week ago on Saturday morning the temp was -3.6º That’s two weekends in a row the temperatures dropped below 0º and this morning it was 1.8º. This has been a very cold January and there’s no relief in sight. And as of this morning we’re looking at the potential of 8-12 inches of snow from tomorrow night into Wednesday. Or rain. Or a 1-3 inches of snow followed by freezing rain. The NWS can’t be sure. I hope the crocuses have packed their parkas.
For the past two weekends I’ve been engaged in a most wonderful experience with the Pied Piper Children’s Theater, an educational theater group that has taken over the White Pond Center and is run by John Ryerson and Bonnie Halligan of Lake Carmel.
The Pied Piper Children’s Theater offers an intensive after-school program for kids aged from 3-16 in performance, acting and even a Friday night Karaoke in [...]
Town Board – Regular Meeting January 21, 2009
I just heard the end of Billy Lee’s comments that we need more people on the Conservation Commission. HUH??? Carl Sandburg said there were 9 – that was two too many according to the town code. They can take on two youth members, maybe that’s what he meant? Maybe the children can lead the way. Mr. Tendy has more “fun” events planned. He should read Jeff Green’s Friday blogs. There’s always lots of fun listed. Or maybe, he should become a Dem. We had a great party for Inauguration Day, at PV’s own Camp Combe, with a beautiful fire, great music, our elegant Assemblywoman, some beautiful ball gowns and a top hat too. We even had compostable cups! Admission was a can for the food bank. We all took the time to feel some hope about the future. These are tough times, and together we will get there. It was the place to be. Mr. Tendy has secured a $5000 donation from his friends at Entergy on the same day that the newspaper reported 17 safety violations at the Indian Point plant. Maybe we should give the money back, so they [...]
Town Board, “Work Session,” January 14, 2009 Last night’s Town Board meeting was a work session, sort of. If you look at the website calendar, and go to next Wed, and to the non-existent Zoning code meeting, and click on it, you will find the agenda. I discovered it by accident. It’s like a Rube Goldberg sculpture. There are two items on the work session agenda – accepting the bid on the harvester for Lake Oscawana, and going over the tentative agenda.
There was a lot else on the actual meeting agenda, which gets us to the point. It used to be that if a decision was to be made at a work session, there was a noticed special session. That was the way Carole did the agendas and announced the meetings. When Sam was Supervisor, we went over this policy with Carole, David Gordon, then Town Attorney, and Robert Freeman, the Director of the Committee on Open Government.
State law on open meetings considers the meeting of a quorum (three for all of our boards) of a board to be a meeting. It doesn’t matter what kind of meeting, and Mr. Freeman does not distinguish between work [...]
The Board passed the RV law. I would comment on it or make any corrections necessary to my work session post, but I honestly don’t know what it says. [...]
