Town of Sangerfield Approves Moratorium
The Town of Sangerfield will not allow hydrofracking and natural gas
drilling in the town for at least one year. Sangerfield town board
members voted 4-1 last week to approve a one-year moratorium on the
practice, following suit with just about every other town in Oneida
County. The vote followed a one-hour public hearing that brought in
at least 25 people, resulting in the largest turnout in many years
over a town issue. Some of those attending were from other towns
that had passed a moratorium, but the majority of people were from
Sangerfield. Everyone who spoke supported the moratorium, said
Sylvia Crandall, town clerk. She and town councilwoman Lorena Lenard
said the nay vote came from Roger Tanner, who expressed concerns
that the town could face litigation over the moratorium.
Sangerfields one-year clock will start ticking sometime after it is
reviewed by town attorney Bill Getman and Oneida County.

Waterville Central Weighs
Fingerprinting Of Volunteers
The Waterville Board of Education is considering an expansion of the
districts policy regarding adults who should be fingerprinted when
dealing with students. Currently teachers, staff and coaches are
required to be fingerprinted, which then allows the district to
check criminal records. Last week board members discussed whether to
add volunteers as people who should be fingerprinted. Waterville
Central School District allows volunteers to come in for a number of
reasons. Some adults volunteer to help out for an entire season with
a sports team, while others give their time as needed for an event,
such as the school musicals or elementary classroom assistance.
Other volunteers - mainly parents of students involved - volunteer
their time on a field trip or at a school event such as a dance. All
adults who volunteer to help a sports team or activities such as the
ski clubs or trips made by the WCS Marching Band fill out a
volunteer application that must be approved by the school board.
Parents who come in to the schools to help in a classroom or with
the musicals or other events do not fill out the form. Board members
said they are not trying to quash the enthusiasm of people
volunteering to help, which they said often is needed, but want to
make sure children are protected.

Winning Photos
The United Nations declared 2011 to be the International Year of
Forests to raise awareness on issues of sustainable management,
conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests. In
honor of this, the New York state Department of Environmental
Conservation sponsored a Celebrating New York's Forests photo
contest. The agency received more than 530 photos. Among the
semi-finalist contestants was Deansboro farmer and grazing advocate
Troy Bishopp. His winning entries were On the Towpath and Hand Split
Locust Fence.
New Sign
The Marshall Historical Society erected a historical marker on Route
315 near Oriskany Creek. It marks the site of the Deansville Cheese
Factory in operation from 1886-1902. The installation was done by
Historical Society members Lawrence Gilley and Francis Lallier,
supervised by Society president Dorothy McConnell. Assistance with
the project was received from Howard West, Steve Lollman and Harry
Lenz. Carol Gilley took the photo.
Village of Waterville
In March John Brouillette, co-owner with his brother Wayne of the
bank building in Waterville, spoke at the annual meeting of Access
Federal Credit Union. Brouillette said he received a lot of
compliments for his almost five-year lease with Access Waterville
branch. Three weeks later, he received a call saying Access would be
vacating the premises as of June 30. They had a great relationship
with us and liked it here, Brouillette told the Waterville Village
Board last week. But it all comes down to dollars and cents.
After five years in the village, Access will leave next month and
for the first time in decades, the village will be without a
financial institution. But while Access is giving up on Waterville,
the Brouillettes said they are not. They are marketing the property
to commercial banks and are open to idea to use the second floor for
some other business enterprise.
