Pictured is Chamber of Commerce President Tim Sacher on his 'mighty steed'. Other good sports who mounted elephants for the race were: Lacona Mayor Leo Nemier, Pulaski Village Trustee Donald Crandall, Pulaski Mayor Floyd Carpenter, Jim Foederer of WSCP, and George Hoffman of WSGO. At a hearmg held July 15, one of the charges against Joseph Benesch of Rome Street, Pulaski, was dismissed by Town Justice Gerald Gallagher. The charge dismissed was that Benesch had been in violation of a special variance permit, issued Feb. 8,1984, that allowed only two signs on his property, where Benesch owns two businesses. Benesch's attorney, James Eby of Oswego, argued that no evidence was presented showing that Benesch was in violation on the date of the complaint, April 1, 1985. He also contended that although the property was zoned residential - agricultural at the time I of the permit, it had since been changed to commercial, thus' altering the requirements for signs, and no evidence had been presented showing Benesch in violation of these requirements. After a short recess, Gallagher granted Shy's motion of dismissal. \These charges couldn't stick because they were false,\ Benesch said of the dismissal. , Another charge, concerning flashing lights on a sign, was with- drawn by Town Attorney Donald Todd, as Benesch had discontinued use of the sign. A third charge, violation of conditional discharge, was to be, heard again, even though Benesch had previously been tried and sentenced on mat same offense. Todd explained that this was possible because, under Town of Richland ordinances, each week of non-compliance is treated as a new offense. Eby argued that the sentence was being appealed and that Oswego County Court had issued a stay of sentence. After a brief recess, the case was dismissed until the appeal from the previous trial is heard and resolved. \I'm glad to see that justice was done tonight,\ commented Eby after the hearing. \I hope I'll not be out here again for Joe's case.\ Another case that was to be heard that night, concerning Eileen Yager, was postponed until!
