Two Fitzgerald Brothers Reunite for Ceremonies
Two Waterville men had a brief
but welcomed family reunion in Iraq last month. Army Spc. Kevin Fitzgerald
re-enlisted and was sworn in by his older brother, Army Capt. Brendan
Fitzgerald in the ceremony in Tel Afar, Iraq. In addition, Brendan was
officially appointed a troop commander and Kevin was able to watch his
change of command ceremony. They are two of the four active military duty
sons of Kathy Fitzgerald and Tim Fitzgerald; a fifth son will get his
orders in May for active duty. The brothers were featured in a Veterans
Day story in November in the Times. The following story, titled ‘Deployed
Brothers Honored Together in Iraq’ was published in several armed services
newsletters about the reunion.

Sign of a good storm is when
Route 12 shuts down. Last Thursday the frequent squalls and high winds
caused whiteout conditions all over, so imagine what it was like heading
up or down Paris Hill. That thaw just a few days earlier didn’t signal the
beginning of spring after all.
Marshall Plan Seeks Input
Members of the Town of
Marshall Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee are looking for people to
serve as stakeholders. Fort he past year, the town has been developing a
comprehensive plan; when finished, the process will result in the
development a five to 10 year plan. The plan will ensure quality growth,
assist the town in prioritizing its spending and coordinate future
development efforts. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oneida County has
been asked to render technical assistance in the development of this plan.
Initial work has included a townwide survey of property owners and a bus
tour to evaluate the town’s assets.
WCS Puts Technology Plans in Place
Thanks to the Barton Fund, a
mobile computer lab will soon be in place at Memorial Park School. John
Hurteau, the district’s part-time computer education coordinator, told the
Waterville Board of Education last week that the lab is the latest step in
making sure the district is integrating technology in classrooms. “That
provides a second lab at MPS and it’s all wireless,’’ he said. Hurteau
joined the district in the fall and spends Tuesdays, Thursdays and every
other Monday in Waterville. He spends the other 50 percent of his work
week in the Holland Patent district, where he’s worked for 24 years. His
position is coordinated through BOCES.

BCS Board Responds to Comments
At last week’s Brookfield
Board of Education meeting, board president Bernie Whitacre read a letter
from the board sent to the Brookfield Town Board. The letter responds to
comments included in a Jan. 20 article in the Waterville Times regarding
the Town Board’s Jan. 11 meeting. The school board’s letter refutes
statements from Town Supervisor John Salka that the school district had
received bills for fuel use in October and December. In addition, the
board’s letter states that district disputed the amount owed in the
November bill. After Town Councilman Jeff Mayne contacted the district
after the town meeting, Mayne supplied the October invoice. Whitacre said
October and November have since been paid. He said that as of Jan. 27 the
district has not received the December bill, which Salka said also
included the annual maintenance fee and that he had sent shortly before
the Jan. 12 meeting. Whitacre and board member Mindy Johnson plan to
attend the town’s Feb. 8 meeting.
