Overstocked Wille library (Continued from Page 1) \We can do what the commu- nity wants,\ she concluded. \Everything came together\ Kent called the purchase price for the property \unbelievably good\ in a popular school dis- trict, ripe for development. Trustee Dick Ramsey said that Eugene Sickles, who is now in his eighties, used to be in charge of maintenance for the library. \They sold us the original land,\ he said of the Sickles family. Eugene Sickles's wife told The Enterprise Tuesday that they lived just two houses from the library; they use the library, she said, but added, \Probably not as much as we should.\ While her husband had been in charge of maintenance at the library for over i0 years, she said, they had both worked be- fore that for the Voorheesville School District. \I was a bus driver, and he was a mechanic,\ she said. She referred further questions to Terry Ulion, who has been working with a lawyer on nego- tiations* The property has been in the Sickles and Ulion families for decades, according to Ulion. \The land goes back, to my grandfather arid; grandmother, Eugene and Marie Sickles,\ he told The Enterprise on Tuesday. \The land was a farmstead.\ Ulion said the farmstead had once included the land where the library now stands as well as the land across the street, where Atlas Copco is located. \Little by little, the land has been sold off,\ he said. Two of his grandparents' children, Eugene Sickles and Ruth Sickles Ulion, live in houses that were built on the original farmstead, he said. The family talked about the remaining'land, Ulion said. \We didn't want it divided up into small building lots...We didn't want a factory or commercial interest in there...We wanted something user-friendly to .the two families still there,\ he said. \It was the right time. It was almost like The Perfect Storm, everything came together.\ He concluded, \Both Gene and Ruth felt this -was a way they could do something for the entire community and they wanted to protect the quiet of the area.\ • Getting on the ballot Kent asked the school board Monday to put a $150,000 proposition for the library on the ballot for Sept. 19. He said $100*000 would pay for the property: and $50,000 would be used \to engage in public dia- logue\ in planning for the li- brary's future. \We're not at a point where we have any grand design,\ Kent told the board. Public libraries in New York State are governed by their own boards of trustees and have tax- ing powers. The library follows school-district boundaries. School board President David Gibson told Kent that the dis- trict's lawyer needs to review the matter. -Gibson said the school district had just gotten the pa- perwork at 5 p.m. that day. Sacco responded that she had had conversations with the dis- trict office for several weeks and she said the library's resolution was prepared by a lawyer famil- iar with municipal law and edu- cation law. After some discussion, the board agreed it would hold a special meeting soon to vote on including the library's proposi- tion oh the Sept. 19 ballot. . Rent said the. library could hold its own vote but preferred to save money by holding the two votes at once. Board Vice President C. James Coffin said of the library's pro- posed land purchase, \It's the right thing: to do, an investment for the future.** it Fair Trade Tibet Collection Prayer Beads & Flags, Chimes, Singing Bowls, Incense and Travel Altar Boxes it Genuine Himalayan Salt Lamps it Gemstone Quartz Lighted Fountains, Geode Bookends, Wind Chimes, Labyrinths it Quartz and Swarovski Crystals •ft Unique Gemstone and Sterling Silver Jewelry, Including Chakra, Yoga, Celtic, Equine it Angel, Goddess, Metaphysical, Non-Denominational An inspirational & Meditation Resource it Meditation Cushions and Yoga Supplies it Books, CD's - Music and Audio for ALL ages it Aromatherapy Candles, Greeting Cards it Locally Handcrafted Drums, Wall Decor, Soaps, Pens it Cuddly Chakra Bears, Nature / Science Games it Children's books and CDs for developing good self esteem and relaxation, Indigo, etc. it Many items by local artists and crafters Dedicated to the Enrichment of Spirit, Mind, and Body for Adults and Children Come in and enjoy our calm, relaxing atmosphere,,.
