On the surface, it seemed to be all but over. The seven-year wait
was basically done with.
But then as the reality started sinking in, many started replanting
their feet to the ground, once again saying, “Not here.”
So now they’re all calling it the end of the beginning.

Onteora Board Makes Transportation Changes As School Year
Starts Well
9/13/2007
By Lisa Childers
After a tour of the Bennett School by new principal Gabe Buono
Tuesday night, September 11 - with attendant audience in tow
- the Onteora School Board settled into what amounted to a
routine workshop meeting highlighted by discussion of the
entity’s goals and mission for the coming year. Former
boardmember and president Marino D’Orazio, voted out
of office this past spring, was given a plaque for his 10
years of service to the district. The district’s capital
reserve was again increased, from $1 million to its max amount
of $1.8 million, and much was made of new policies designed
to come down hard on student smoking around the school facilities
in Boiceville.

Cellular
Story

By Phoenicia Times Staff
After years of failed attempts to bring cellular service
to Shandaken, the town board signed a deal Monday
to build one tower and conduct a study to find locations
for others in order to blanket as much of the town
with wireless service as possible.
The deal was reached in a manner that has become typical
of the current administration, led by Robert Cross
Jr., with board members being asked to review the
details of the deal after getting them only last Friday.

For most people visiting town hall, the first person
they encounter to transact a range of town business
is often the Town Clerk, whom we’ll be electing
in November for a 4-year term. According to Laurilyn
Frasier, now in her 20th year at the post, responsibilities
include serving as the town’s tax collector, public
relations officer, records management and licensing
officer, recording secretary, election coordinator,
registrar of vital statistics and cash control officer..
plus some other roles like overseeing the loan closet,
the dog kennel, and park & facilities reservations.
