18 years young and he couldn’t wait to get into the

Staff
Just as recent elections have been decided by
late-arriving vote numbers coming in from Olive

to incumbent Onteora board members Mary Jane
Bernholz, Cindy O’Connor and Rita Vanacore
had to wait Tuesday night, May 20, for the Phoenicia
School to provide the final clue as to the district’s
wishes.

don’t. Lucky for Phoenicia that Heather
Roberts returned and has established a physical
therapy practice that provides a service unique

Expect
big happenings in Phoenicia the next two Saturday nights as
the wrapping of the Phoenicia Hotel continues to draw crowds
and amaze. It all got underway last weekend in tandem with the
Arts Upstarirs opening of the fab new exhibit “Flower
Power” on May 17, when Marisela LaGrave and the Magnetic
Laboratorium, a legendary New York-based intermedia production
company with ties to the Merce Cunningham troupe and various
international art fairs of recent years, got help from a whole
host of local folk to wrap the burned-out Phoenicia Hotel, with
permission from new owner Declan Feehan, in blue tarps and then
project words of hope and support for the Phoenicia School community,
drawing sizable crowds despite steady rain for much of the night.
Further multimedia displays on the blues-wrapped hotel will
take place for the coming two Saturdays, May 24 and 31, at approximately
8:30 each evening. You gotta see this!
