To Be Binding

By Gary Alexander
Although
there are some hazy areas in the controversial sewer district
situation in Boiceville, Olive Supervisor Brendt Leifeld sees
the special resolution vote on the matter set for May 8th as
a strictly black and white, yes or no question.
“If it passes, it passes,” Leifeld notes simply.
“If it (doesn’t), then it (doesn’t). Either
way, it will be binding.”

Once Again, Olive’s ‘Other’
Party Makes Big Plans For Changing Town’s Direction
3/29/2007
By Damien T. Toman
The Town of Olive Republican Party met on Tuesday, March 20,
to deliberate upon its place in the future of the town’s
government, in which nearly every important post is currently
held by a Democrat.
The meeting was presided over by Chester “Chet”
Scofield, Olive’s GOP chairman, and Paula Minew, who
has remained active with the party even after her much-publicized
resignation from the Town of Olive Planning Board in November
of last year. Also present were 14 citizens of Olive: the
only ones to respond to approximately 600 invitations sent
out to every registered Republican household in town.

Healing
Haircuts
3/29/2007
By Violet Snow
Like many creative people
living in the Catskills, Sandra
Zuccala pursues a number of
occupations to help make ends
meet. In addition to sculpture,
her work includes several
healing modalities—Reiki,
massage, and Integrated Energy
Therapy—and she worked
for years as a hairdresser
in New York City. When she
and her husband, sculptor
Carlo Travaglia, moved to
Olivebridge eight years ago,
she was planning to devote
her attention to energy work.
“But people kept asking
me to cut hair,” she
recalls. “I did some
trades and realized how much
I still loved it. Then I got
the idea of combining the
two. Before I cut someone’s
hair, I do about fifteen minutes
of energy work. It relaxes
the client, connects us to
each other, and frees me up.
I’m open to more creativity.”

Something’s brewing within
the New York City Department
of Environmental Protection
police force.
From the perspective of that
body’s rank and file officers,
at least as represented by its
union, the Law Enforcement Employees
Benevolent Association, mismanagement
in our Upstate region has reached
epidemic levels and everyone’s
calling for a change in top
brass.
