Serving: ' o Palmyra Macedon Walworth Marion Farmington Macedon Center West Macedon East Palm y ra Palmyra, N.Y. Wednesday, Oct. 20,. 1971 Single Copy 15c $4,50 Per Year ‘Open House r Attracts Viewers If you expected to be greeted by Village Fathers like those staid and proper ones of 1868 in their Prince Alberts, you were surprised a t the Saturday Open House held a t the recently remodeled Village Hall. Instead you were welcomed by 1971*s Mayor Dave Nussbaumer, snappily garbed in a yellow jacket; Trustees, Don Sinclair in a pink shirt, and Don Leysath in a blue one. Lloyd Green was conservatively dressed in a dark suit and F red Alderman noticeably favored one of the latest wide ties. Anyway, you were welcomed by the Village Fathers who were showing their “new baby” with un derstandable pride. Much thought and work had been expended on this Open House. Fiags were flying, and lining the Main Street. Village trucks, snow plows, The Palmyra Volunteer Ambulance, fire trucks and fire fighting equipment, including our controversial snorkel (it has been put to use moire times than most of us know) all “stood a t attention” in front of the Village Park. Some were not so shiny but still proud. Palmyrans had a sense of village pride as they looked them over. Inside the Village Hall along the corridor the Civil War Veterans* Memorial Tablet still graced the walls and gave a sense of history, but little else looked familiar. The newly appointed offices spoke of ef ficiency and action./Particularly interesting on this special occasion Was the office of. the Village Clerk. There a pleasing sight greeted one! Village Clerk Theresa Otte .w aj the hostess at a refreshment taWe.- Coffee^4oauis,£mR tim$Ly cider/in. addition to “ tricks o r treats” were served and enjoyed. . k d e p k r t i b e n i , the jail, arid tk& filPed^artiiaenfc Rows of firemens' boots, hats and heavy waterproof coats were orderly arranged. The completeness of the equipment used by the Firem en's Emergency and Oxygen Squad was particularly impressive. We understand the Palmyra Volunteer Ambulance Service is equally ‘ as well equipped and responds in like manner. Latest electronic pulse-taking machine, fire proof blankets, plastic sheets, plastic inflatable protectors for broken limbs, oxygen tanks, an isolette for infants, special aid for emphysema patients and all necessary equipment for emergencies and &id, prior to the arrival a t the*hospital and-or the doctor. All thisdWequipment exhibitied was described by Fire Chief Richard Culver and Vincent Craft. Mr. Craft teaches these methods (and trains volunteers) two nights a week at the Newark Wayne Community Hospital. At this point it is fitting to pay tribute to all the volunteers and to the late Jim O’Brien who served this community in the capacity of Fire Chief for so many years and contributed immeasurably to this particular organization. An occasion of this importance in Palmyra would not be complete without the presence of Congressman Frank Horton, Assemblyman Joseph C. Finley and Senator Theodore Day. We need their support, which they continue to. give in large measure. From the Open House in the Village Hall people came and went, smiling approval. Thank you, members of the Village Board. Keep the flags flying and the trucks rolling, the ambulances ready to serve and Palmyra on the move.

Blazey Who climbs the pole like it was a three-foot step ladder. * Bill Roche of Roche-Kimberly Construction Co. met with the Macedon Village Board Wed nesday Oct. 13, 1971, to discuss preliminary plans for a 25 million dollar development project for the village. The pnaperty proposed for the future expansion is 103 acres of land bordered by Drumlin Drive and Stone Street and including the O’Connell and the Alles property. Mr. Roche is being aided in this endeavor by Herbert Mandel^an architect - A I A city planner. Bill Roche stressed that they are developing a total plan for the total property and it will include single and multi-family housing, townhouse and clustertype units. There will be a total of 700 or 800 units. The architect and the builder are working on a design concept for a marina and a “boatel” exclusively for the use of the boaters who are traveling up and 'down the canal. Bill Roche stressed that he wished to make the highest and best possible use of the land in accordance with the already existing zoning ordinances. When asked for a tentative time schedule for the beginning of the project, Bill replied, “ We’re hopeful of achieving approval by m id-w inter. By December we’ll be ready with preliminary draw ings to ap proach the village board and the village planning board...w ith their approval we can then let street and road contracts and proceed with m o re detailed I^ans. We're hopeful of.beginning construction by next June if everything goes according to schedule.” M EETINGS PLANNED TO AIR SCHOOL BOND ISSUE Palmyra-M acedon Board of EdiK&tiop Will ftoldtwo ptiblie - information meetings concerning the bohd issub for the-final renovation of the Pkjmyra Elementary School.

RABIES CLINICS SET AT ALL AREA TOWNS But it’s all worth it to see Old Glory (a brand new one) flying atop the pole. Particularly in time for next Monday’s new Veterans’ Day date of October 25.
