Advisors representing classes and other school organizations met with representatives of civic organizations to identify areas of the community to be cleaned and beautified. The Village has been divided into eight zones, and plans for work in these areas are underway. The main thrust of activity will occur on Saturday, April 25, when those involved will spend the day on the project. These efforts will be- sup- ported by trucks from the village, as well as donations (garbage trucks, garbage bags, food, meeting places and other necessities) which have been offered by local businesses and organizations. Elementary students in grades fourth, fifth and sixth will work with the Pulaski Historical Society and the Monday Historical Club in learning about all areas as well as improving all areas in the vicinity elementary schools. Their efforts will be extended over a period of time and not concentrated on one day. ^» II II I M * \K -Area News 2,3 Editorial 4,5 Legal Notices 14 Religion 12 • School News 10 School Sports 11 Sports 8 SPECIAL FEATURES: Pinewood Derby Honors Improvements, such as the addition of these trash receptables to downtown Pulaski, last summer are in the works as community organizations and students gear up for Beautification Day, April 25.

Modifications Considered Members of the Pulaski- Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce discussed possible changes in the organization's by-laws at their meeting, February 24. President Sylvia Clark noted that a \major overhaul of the by-laws is in the works\ and asked for members' opinions on two issues; the number of meetings per year and voting power. Suggestions to meet quarterly or bi-monthly were met with mixed reactions. Such a move would necessitate allowing the board of directors more power, Clark explained. Some members proposed that fewer meetings may increase attendence; others disagreed. \I think it's important to meet monthly,\ Linda Tarbox said. \You lose track.\ Members were also divided on the issue of voting rights. A proposal to grant each membership a total of two votes, to allow a spouse or employee a voice, was debated. The idea behind the suggesting was to include a member's spouse and in- crease participation, Clark said. However, some worried about the effect of the system on close votes. ' 'We might be opening a can of worms,\ Charles Krupke said. \I'm personally not in favor of it.\ Laura Neighbor agreed. \There are times when it could stir up a real bees' nest.\ Clark explained that the comments of the board would be relayed to the By- laws Committee for con- sideration. Other discussion centered around the time and nature of meetings. The general consensus was that it is difficult for a business person to take time out for a lunch Boylston Planning Board To Meet The Planning Board of the Town of Boylston will hold an Information Gathering Session on Thur- sday, March 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Boylston Town Hall, county routes 13 and 50, Boylston. Mr. Leigh Andrews, Chairman of the Planning Board, will preside at the meeting. meeting. It was agreed to keep evening meetings, and to alternate dinner and non- dinner meetings. The schedule was moved up to cocktails at 6 p.m., dinner at 6:30, and the meeting at 7:45, when dinner is served. The March meeting will include dinner, it was announced. The problem of reservations was discussed but not resolved. In the past, some have neglected to call in reservations, and shown up, or made reservations and not attended. A suggestion to require reservations and charge the member who reserves dinner and doesn't attend was made and con- sidered. In other business, Mr. and Mrs. H. Douglas Barclay each addressed the chamber. Mrs. Barclay updated members on the progress of the PROP (Preservation and Revitalization of Pulaski) organization as well as the group's'future plans. April 25 has been Approve CEA The Town of Sandy Creek has received State approval of its designation of a Critical Environmental Area within r»y* township. Under the State Environ- mental Quality Review Act, local governments have the ability to designate specific geographic areas as CEA's. The town board, upon the recommendation of the planning board, passed in January the designation of the area, extending from the shoreline inland to State Route 3, as a Critical Environmental Area, which will regulate any type of building activity there. The act is designed to protect natural resources wildlife and historic areas, according to planning board members. The action, which goes into effect March 3, \won't stop projects; it'll guarantee that they will be built right,\ said planning board member Joe Hammond. Hammond urges residents with questions to contact Town Clerk Margaret Wing, or attend a planning board meeting, held every third Tuesday of the month, or a town board meeting, every second Thursday. designated Beautification Day, a time when Pulaski Students and organizations will band together to enhance the village. (See related ar- ticle, this issue.) In summary, Mrs. Barclay noted that PROP meets every two weeks, and members have \lots of ideas\. Any input is appreciated, she said, adding, \We try to think positively at all times about our village.\ Mr. Barclay discussed the problem of trespassing fishermen, and asked the chamber's assistance and suggestions on the issue. Examples of fishermen littering, trespassing, cleaning fish, and cutting down trees for firewood were cited. A discussion of fishermen etiquette followed, leading to a proposal that landowners and interested parties meet to work on the problem. Clark maintained that the chamber must deal with the issue and decide what members want the area to become. \It's our job...not the out- of-towners, to patrol the area.\ she added. The chamber also: - Named new committees and chairmen for 1987, including: Downtown Merchants, Linda Loomis; Summer Promotion, Faith Stelmach; Winter Promotion, Shirley Gunuther; Audit, Bud Switzer; Christmas Promotion, Linda Tarbox; Meeting Committee, Laura Neighbor. Standing com- mittees are: Art in the Park; Directory; Triathlon; Salmon Festival; and Salmon Derby. - Encouraged members to support Water For Life and oppose the establishment of a landfill in Rodman by writing to legislators. - Approved new members Great Escape Lodge, Grindstone Creek Lodge, and Bluegrass Charters.
