What’s
Getting Stimulated?
CWC & Other Regional Efforts Give The 28 Corridor A Good
Chance At Funding
2/26/2009
By Paul Smart
Although final
figures are hard to determine, and much is still reliant on
the New York state budget’s needs, whose lead agent –
the Governor – is in charge of what gets spent where,
when and how, it’s starting to look like the Route 28
corridor could do quite well from federal stimulus funding coming
down the pike fast just now.

Until May Elections

Four residents of the Onteora School Community, including one
former member of the District’s School Board and a student,
have entered the race for the seat on the seven member board

All four, and perhaps even some newcomers to the race, will

next Tuesday, March 3 at the Woodstock Elementary School. Anyone
interested in the spot was asked to submit a written statement

Regional Cooperation Efforts
2/26/2009
By Paul Smart

Consider It Shabby

Up Here, It’s
Our Version Of Wabi
Sabi
2/26/2009
By Carol LaMonda
Shabby Chic is in.
