Board, a compromise plan appeared from nowhere at a special meeting
December 14... just in time for the February 3 date set for a
refendum on the system.
As a result the system’s builder, Delaware Engineering,
confirmed on Monday that it will contractually guarantee the system’s
operating costs for five years, effectively insuring a cost cap
that local business owners had requested.

Will the Internet rescue radio? With corporadoes like Rupert Murdoch
controlling most of commercial radio and TV, and even public stations

By Violet Snow
Depending on the rules of the Orchestra Cup competition,
the Onteora High School orchestra may rock Lincoln Center
this coming March with its rendition of the Jimi Hendrix
classic “Purple Haze”. Orchestra conductor
and music teacher Wini Paetow is even hoping the rules
will allow Juma Sultan, former drummer for the Jimi
Hendrix Experience and Hendrix’s roommate when
they both lived in Boiceville, to sit in on the Manhattan
gig, as he did at last Wednesday’s winter concert
at the high school.
