Kelly The subdivision of Weathervane Farms, into two parcels, was ap proved at the October 19 meeting of the New Castle Planning Board. Parcel A would consist of 113 acres and parcel B, 60 acres. A remaining four acres would be left for a future access road. Although a decision on the ac cess road was not before the Planning Board, it did concern the audience of 40 residents. The access road across Weathervane Farms, between Routes 100 and 133 on the Yorktown border, has been on the town's Master Plan since 1965. The road would even tually connect Routes 100 and 133. School Board report Mr. Cambell, a private engineer representing Weathervane Far ms, said an access road would be valuable for emergencies and improve traffic circulation, especially if the area was later developed. Residents stressed the poten tial danger of a road entering Hoag Hill Road near its blind curves. Town engineers deter mined that the intersection of a road into Hoag Hill Road should be located 150 feet East of Turner Drive; the state Department of Transportation recommended an intersection directly opposite Turner Drive.

The District received approx imately 220 responses to the questionnaire distributed in Sep tember to 2,000 parents of pres ent and future kindergarten stu dents. Superintendent Bernard Haake told the School board at its meeting on October 19. About 57 people had expressed interest in working on a board to study the establishment of a program. Dr. Haake met with school officials on October 21 to discuss the findings of the questionnaire and possible future action but refused to release details until the next School Board meeting. Dr. Haake stressed that the district is \not about to embark on a tax funded child care pro gram.\ Any program would be \a collaborative effort with the Town.\ School Board president Bar bara Porter emphasized that any future child care project would \be separate from the running of the district.\ The Town Board had ex pressed interest in the program with the involvement of the New Castle Recreation Department. • New Castle Recreation Direc tor Dan McBride said the Recreation Commission is \in terested in the concept of an aft'erschool program operated on a fee basis, but our role has not been determined.\ The pro gram would be expensive, he continued, adding that the Re creation Department does not now have the staff to run it.
