their budget pass, as well..
The
Shadow Of Terror...
Local Efforts To Open Monument Road Continue Via Closed Meetings
With NYC
5/24/2007
By Gary Alexander
It’s the same old story of New York City agencies pushing
their weight around in the small upstate communities that host
their water interests, at least in the view of local residents
who attended the closed meeting between the Olive town board
and representatives of the City’s Department of Environmental
Protection at their Kingston offices on May 16th. This installment,
however, is undershadowed by the very peculiar tale of one of
the world’s most famous and, paradoxically, least known
terrorists.

Two More For Olive!
Friedel and Wolff Take Out D’Orazio As Town Dominates
Onteora’s Voting
5/24/2007
By Lisa Childers
Once again, Olive voters prevailed over the rest of the
Onteora School District, electing a pair of candidates who
gained the backing of the powerful Olive Matters voting
bloc by meeting with its members earlier this Spring.
School board president Marino D’Orazio, a ten-year
board member, was defeated in the May 15 Onteora district
school board election and now the majority of the school
board —five out of seven — are from the town
of Olive.

Good Deeds Foundation Pilots A Project Bringing Together Homegrown
Produce
By Violet Snow
A small produce and health food market opening at the Black
Bear Hollow Café on Saturday, May 26, will feature,
in the coming weeks, vegetables and fruits from local gardens
as part of the Neighbors Garden Market, a pilot project of
Andrew Martin’s and Calandra Cruickshank’s Good
Deeds Foundation. The recently renovated café on Route
28, a couple miles west of Phoenicia, reopened for business
on May 11 and did a brisk trade as regular patrons flocked
back in, said Kurt Boyer, who owns and runs the café
with his wife, Cynnie.

Puppy
Love
5/24/2007By
Carol La Monda
The house was too neat and
too quiet for us. With Kahlua,
our geriatric chocolate lab,
gone, the silence was painful.
Our home was, at the same
time, empty beyond belief,
yet filled with memories in
every nook and corner. Our
attempt to heal was to find
a puppy. Diva, our fourteen-month
old chocolate lab puppy, has
turned our orderly existence
into delightful turmoil. We
now trip over toys, make ebullient
shouts of joy over puddles
and messes that she manages
to do outdoors, retrieve our
shoes from her puppy-toothed
mouth, and love every minute
of it. She has turned my eyeglasses
into a modern sculpture that
I dubbed “Blind Justice.”
Knick Knacks and What Nots
are no more. Every thing has
been elevated to the three-foot
high water mark. At the rate
she is growing, we might have
to make that even higher.
We miss Kahlua with an ache
in our hearts, but, frankly,
we are too busy and tired
being senior parents to a
bundle of wiggles and wags.
