MCS Students HigMy Praised/

But Some Citizens Don't AgreeA group of 14 residents of

th e M argaretville central school d istric t was a t Tuesday n ight’s m eeting of the board of educa­tion to present a sta tem ent of concern over “some serious problems.” The sta tem ent was also signed by 14 o ther persons, in addition to those who brought it to the meeting.

In their statem ent, the mem­bers of the group said, “We feel th a t our children do not have the ideal educational environ­m ent, and there is not enough evidence of the sound basic principles necessary for learn­ing. By this, we mean disci­pline, respect, pride and integ­rity .”

At the sam e meeting, how­ever, the school board was shown a le tte r received from Sidney high school praising the behavior of M argaretville cen­tra l school students a t the two sectional basketball champion­ship games played there. “M argaretville would have to go to the top of our guest list,” the le tte r said.

The presenters of the s ta te ­m ent included Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Slade, Rev. Richard Tait, Charles Holdridge, Rev. George Boatwright, Mrs. M arie Fairbairn, Mrs. W illiam Hosier, Mrs. M yrtle Fairbairn, Richard Carroll, Leonard U tter, Joseph H ewitt, William Young, William Mincarelli and Franz Archleith- ner. Most are parents of chil­dren in school. Also present w as E rnest H yatt, but not as a member of this group.

A spokesman for the group also made a sta tem ent being “concerned about a m inister who seems to influence the supervising principal.” No specific instances were given.

The w ritten statem ent includ­ed a list of alleged “facts to prove our point.” Among these w ere th a t “Substitute teachers dread being called in because of cw nplete lack of discipline. Some good teachers we have lost to o ther schools are glad to be out of the system. Some parents have spoken w ith Mr. Johns in Andes about placing th e ir children there w here th ere is law and order. Some parents are threatening to keep th e ir children home until this system is cleaned up—the par­ents are willing to face the penalty of jail. The American flag w as stolen and by means of illegal entry. I t was found, re tu rned and no punishm ent to the guilty party .”

The statem ent w ent on, “W hat example does this se t? This breakdow n of discipline is ju st a breeding ground for drug i b u s e , stealing, destroying property, etc. W e believe the d iildren of this area are basic­ally good, but they need disci­p l in e guidance and good ex­amples set.

“Our children spend m ost of the ir tim e in school from the age of 5-18 years. W e w ant to m ake certain we have a school system v/ith higher standards and goals to strive for than we have a t the present tim e.”

Conversely, the highest praise for MCS studen ts ' was con­tained in the le tte r from the Sidney school, signed by Francis L. Redmond for the school. The le tte r is quoted as follows:

“Your school p>articip>ated in two Section IV basketball games a t my school. During the course of the year, we have m any outside team s using our gymnasium and facilities. I

found th a t M argaretville would have to go to the top of our guest list.

“TTie a ttitu d e of your adults and students was excellent. Your coach and your team s are a credit to your school. N ever have I seen or experienced such fine adult supervision of a visit­ing school.

“I t was a pleasure to have M argaretville central school use our facilities and I would like to thank you very much for this fine cooperation, and plea.se come back.”

Shandaken Sign

Law Threatened;

Repeal FavoredPhoenicia, April 1. — Senti­

m ent expressed a t a crowded special sess.ion of the Shanda­ken tow n board last week Wed­nesday n ight favored a repeal of the tow n’s controversial sign ordinance. There was also strong sentim ent for retaining Shandaken’s elected three-m an board of assessors in preference to th e hiring of a single asses­so r fo r a period of six years.

The m eeting filled the tovm m eeting room to standing room capacity, a n d spilled o u t through the doorways on to the porch.

A show of hands indicated th a t 65 present w ere for com­plete abolishm ent of the pres­en t tovm sign law, 50 w ere for am endm ent of the law and four w ere fo r keeping the Jaw in its presen t form. Supervisor Ray­mond J. Dunn said th a t the inform ation gathered by this poll will be considered by the tow n board for fiu-ther action a t its next regu lar meeting.

The controversy arose last fall w hen th e Scandinavian Ski shop was opened along new rou te 28 a t M ount P leasant. The sign erected on the prop­e rty w as in violation of the town sign la/w, b u t the owner contended th a t he had not known of the law ’s existence, so a variation w as granted. However, th is se t a precedent, which m any of the residents of the tow n fe lt would encourage o ther potential violations.

Retention of th e law in its presen t form was backed by several mem bers of the town of Shandaken planning board.

Opposition to th e law was voiced by Augustus Simpson, owner of the Phoenicia Ski slope, and Neil G rant, superin­tenden t of th e Shandaken branch Of Consolidated Laun­dries. Andy Indiviglio, Mount P leasan t storekeeper, and Sam FdUpelli, M ount P leasan t hotel owner, said th a t the sign law in its p resent form keeps them from advertising properly on the ir properties.

Councilman M arian Umhey read the proposed law regard ­ing th e one-m an assessor. Questions and answ ers fol­lowed. A show of hands indi­cated th a t those present, w ith the exception of five, favored keeping the three-m an elected board.

The hearting satisfied th e re- y quirem ent in th e s ta te law th a t \ required one before April 6.

However, there m ust be a ref- erendim i prior to Ju ly 1 if voters desire to keep the three- m an board of assessors, which presently consists of Leonard Ford, chairm an, Daniel Kier- nan and E rich Griesser.

In one o ther action a t Wed­nesday’s , special m eeting, the tow n board voted to accept the highest bid, subm itted by the M argaretville Memorial hospital, fo r the sale of the town’s amibulance. The hos­p ita l iwiU acquire the vehicle when delivery of a new re ­placem ent am bulance is made.

An oil burner blaze called out M argaretville firem en a t 3:30 a. m. Friday, and an over­heated therm ostat a t the new hospital building resulted in another alarm shortly after noon Saturday. N either inci­dent caused appreciable dam­age.

The Friday m om ing blaze was a t the home of Clarence P la tt on lower Main street. This was the firs t in-village call answered by the new pum per acquired last April.

Test operation of a generator a t the M argaretville Memorial hospital Saturday set off the autom atic alarm when the therm ostat on th e m achine’s regulator became overheated. This triggers th e alarm , and se ts th e siren to blowing.

court. The ruling was handed down in New York by Justice George M. Camey.

When the law w as signed by Gov. Rockefeller in 1960, it appeared th a t five years of con­troversy over the plowing and sanding of reservoirs roads was a t an end. The 1960 Legisla­tu re had put in the bill th a t the city was responsible for these roads. New York had con­tended th a t the “build and for­ever m aintain” clause regard ­ing reservoir roads did not cover snow and ice removal. I t also m ade the contention th a t the city was already paying taxes to the upstate municipali­ties for this service.

Im m ediately a fte r the pass­age of the law. New York entered a challenge to its con­stitutionality . However, no ac­tion was taken by the city to press for a decision, and the roads continued to be plowed and sanded for another decade by the towns and county.

The tovra of Colchester be­gan an action for a change of venue on New York’s challenge in 1961. However, this was denied. A fter the years of city inactivity, Colchester asked for a dismissal of the city ’s suit in 1970 on the grounds of gen­eral delay and failure to prose­cute the action and for a declaration of the rights of the parties concerned., This was the basis for Justice

(Jam ey’s decision Tuesday. He denied th e New York conten­tion th a t the Legislature violat­ed the home-rule process by failing to obtain prior approval of the city before enacting the law. However, he did uphold the city’s righ t to challenge the law ’s constitutionality.

The am ount of money in ­volved and how it is to be col­lected is still to be ascertained. Middletown Highway Superin­tendent M iller F airbairn said th a t less th an $1,800 had been charged to the city’s account in the eight years he had been in office. However, the tow n has often obtained gravel from city properties during this time, and this is expected to offset any g reat bonanza th a t m ay have accrued to the town.

Supervisor F rank Oles of Andes said th a t he had learned of the decision W ednesday afternoon. As this is his firs t year of office, as well as th a t of Highway Superintendent Ray W i n n e r , figures are not available. In 1960 then Super­visor Allen Joslin estim ated th a t it cost $3,000 for Andes to plow and m aintain the reservoir roads in the town.

The counties of U lster and Sullivan, as well as towns in these counties, are also affected by the decision. In Delaware county, the county, and towns of Andes, Colchester and Mid­dletown are affected.

Delaware county figures were also not available Wednesday.

I t should be noted in connec­tion w ith Tuesday’s decision th a t the ruling was made by a Supreme Court judge. A city appeal could tie up the m atte r several years more in the Appellate division and Court of Appeals.
