enthusiasm.

Interim superintendent of schools for the Onteora Central School
District John G. Jordan believes the time is right to address

supporters, to the eventual tune of several hundred fans,

turkeys are everywhere, deer hunting supplies

in a frenzy of red and green! In this mishmash
of stale candy corn, cranberries, leaf suits
or day-glow orange apparel, and glitzy decorations
and ornaments, the shopper is in a holiday
