The water was being driven far up the mouths of the area creeks, and white caps were breaking all along the interior shore of North Pond, overland, breakwaters and docks alike. Of course, the Lake was also pounding directly on spots like Rainbow Shores, where the waves were hitting directly at the foot of the inland bank, completely obscuring the beachfront [pictured above]. Beware Underground Buried Cables Johnstown, NY-- Underground cable being accidentally dug up and damaged as a result of local construction and building activities represents a continuing problem for Continental Telephone Company of New York. The Company says that this accounts for numerous service outages, especially during the spring and summer months. \Burying cable is one of the safest and most effective ways we have of providing reliable telephone service,\ said John DePhillips, Northern District Sales and Service Manager. \But when damaged or cut, it can be the most difficult to repair. Sometimes repairs require the splicing of more than 1,000 pairs of wires. Although we can usually make repairs within a few hours, in some cases it can take days,\ he said. Cut cable has the potential of being tragically serious if telephone customers are cut off from the hospital, police and fire services. In an effort to reduce the impact of the problem, Contel has been working with area builders, contractors and highway depar- tments to implement a \call before you dig'' program, and Contel has assigned a special buried cable information number which is printed on posters, stickers, and key chains. That number is 1-800- 962-7962. Contractors and builders can dial the \call before you dig\ number and Contel will dispatch someone to the construction site to locate and mark the area where the cable is buried. A new state code dicatates that anyone planning to dig call at least 48 hours (2 working days) before starting a project. \But worst of all,\ said DePhillips, \is the potential for tragedy with every cut cable.\ He outlined three suggested steps if someone accidentally digs up a telephone cable: 1. Call Contel's Repair Service and advise them of the situation. The number is listed in the front cf the telephone directory. 2. If response is not immediate, ask to speak to the district manager. 3. Meanwhile, do not cover the cable again, as the damage may only have been minor. In covering it, more serious damage could be caused. Voters Approve Budget At a Public meeting held May 13, the Pulaski School's 1986-87 proposed budget was explained in detail by Superintendent Warren Lieb. Totalling $6,038,487, the proposed budget would necessitate a tax increase of about $4.10 per thousand assessed value. The vote on the budget, as well as whether to create a capital reserve fund and the election of a school board member, was held May 21. The budget was approved by 183- 31, as was the establishment of a capital reserve fund within the budget forrennovations, 159-39. School board member Larry Penoyer, who was running unopposed for a five-year term, was re-elected to that seat, with 180 votes. Following the meeting, May 13, the board convened for its regular monthly meeting. During this session, Leib an- nounced that several Pulaski students had placed in the New York State Vocational Industrial Clubs of America Competion at BOCES. Ken Goodway took first place in the welding competition, and Ben Gregory took first in Electronic Product Servicing. These two will compete in the National VICA Competition in Arizona in June. Eric Pappa, also of Pulaski, took third in printing, and Darryl Blount of Sandy Creek took first in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. He also informed the board that an art scholarship, in the name of the late Donald Hoenow, has been established by his family. Appointments approved by the board include tenure for Peter Riley as business teacher and tenure for Marshall Marshall as mathamatics teacher and department chairman. A probationary appointment for Karen Zellis as home ec. teacher was also approved. High school teacher Debra Buckley was present to explain to the board her government class curriculum. Very soon, she said, every senior will be required by the Regents plan to complete one-half year of a government course. Mrs. Buckley and Frank House liave already designed a course, without the benefit of a text book or guidelines. Their course includes having students attend various governmental meetings and has been reviewed favorably by Regents officials. A request from DeEtte Marshall lor a bus was granted. Mrs. Marshall plans to take a group of participants to the Hands-Across- America event, May 25. Job descriptions for Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds and Supervisor of Transportation were submitted as a change of policy for the present Head Custodian and Senior Automotive Mechanic. This will be acted on at the June 10 meeting. American Legion Post 358 Commander Eileen Yager asked the board for the school's assistance in collecting Chef-Boy- Ar-Dee labels towards baseball equipment. The school agreed to help the Legion in this venture. In other business, a plaque, honoring the school's late attorney Lynn Smith will be dedicated May 27 at 7 p.m. at the Lura Sharp Elementary School. Passes Law A public hearing on Local Law 1 for the Village of Pulaski was held May 21, at the Snow Memorial Building. A draft of the proposed law was read to over 20 people by Mayor Floyd Carpenter. The law would regulate fish cleaning stations within the village, and provide that no fish may be cleaned, and no remains may be buried or discarded within 100 feet of the shore of the Salmon River, or 100 feet from the center of a public highway or street. Each person present was asked to speak only once on the law before the hearing was closed. While sentiments seemed divided, most were interested in more details, such as how the law would be enforced, and regulations that would accompany the law. Comments included the hope that fillet stations would be regulated; that the Village does not cater to a large source of income, (fisher- men) and that a better means of open communication between the board and residents was needed. At a special meeting of the Village Board following the hearing, Local Law 1 of 1986, under Chapter 56 was passed. • NEWS DEPARTMENT: 298-5176 • FREE READER ADS: 298-4670 BUSINESS DISPLAY ADS: 298-5176
