WEDNKSDAY, JAM ARS 4, 1989 12 PAGES — THIRTY-FIVE CENTS Mayor Slate Looks Ahead Busy Year For Village Eyed MAYOR LAURA M. SLATE attends to the job of guiding the villages progress In 1989. Tribune Photo/Lisa L. Reape By Lisa L. Reape As Gouverneur Mayor Laura M. Slate sees it, 1989 will be a year of addressing unfinshed business. A good many projects and issues from 1988 remain for the village board to consider in the months ahead. • Here is just a sampling of the items the mayor has set on her agenda for 1989: THE PRISON Mayor Slate said she plans to move forward on the village and town's joint venture of promoting sites in the town of Gouverneur for a medium or maximum security prison facility. Already on this month's -agenda is a tour of the new Riverview medium secu- rity - facility at Ogdensburg. Village and town offi- cials, along with represen- tatives of a number of lo- cal organizations and the media, will tour the River- view prison on Wednes- day, Jan. 11. (Besides those organizations named in last week's ^Vib- une-Press, the Gou- vernetxr Senior Citizens has been added to the list of organizations the vil- lage will ask to send a rep- resentative on the tour.) Mrs. Slate and Town Supervisor Donald Peck are also making arrange- ments for a group to tour the maximum security facility at Seuthpon in Chemung County. \Hopefully after the Riverview tour, we will have a public informa- tional meeting on the prison (issue),\Mrs. Slate said. The mayor said she would like to conduct that session in the high school auditorium to accomo- date. a large crowd of people who would be ex- pected to turn out. A prison superintendent and corrections guards •would be on hand to make a presentation and to answer questions from the audience. An . informational packet containing a de- scription of Gouverneur, along with possible sites for a prison and other data, hasnotyet been sent to the state Corrections Department in Albany. Mrs. Slate said they are still collecting data for the packet. It is expected that packet will be sent out after the informaticmal meeting for the public. The informational packet \is like buying a lottery ticket,\ Mrs. Slate said. \It gives you the chance of having a site selected for a prison. \Once the funding is made available, then the corrections people go look- ing at all the sites. And they choose the site that best suits their needs.\ Mrs. Slate said thay have been advised by As- sistant Corrections Com- missioner Kevin Travis that the community need not concern itself over forming a prison task force unless a Gouverneur site is actually chosen. Meanwhile, Mrs. Slate said she's lookingforward to the Riverview tour. She said she is hoping-there will be people of opposing viewpoints in the group that makes the trip. ZONING Mayor Slate also said she would like to address the issue of zoning in the coming year. Efforts to revise the zon- ' ing code begart two years ago, when a new proposed .code was presented in three public hearings. Following those hearings, the code went back to the zoning committee mem- bers, who reviewed sev- eral areas that came un- der criticism by the pub- lic. According to Mrs. Slate, .the controversial provisions were deleted, and the newly revi sed code was sent to the county planning board for review. That revised code came back to the village board in August, 1987. It \then came before the new board under Mayor Slate as Mayor Pg. 3 Campaign Continues On Sept. 14, the Tribune-Press launched a community fund drive to help defray the costs of repairing our eagle. Through overwhelming community support, that fund drive has made great strides towards raising the money needed to restore the eagle to its previous grandeur. Over the past few weeks, however, the pace of the fund drive has slowed, as holiday shopping has placed an additional strain on budgets. The Fix the Eagle campaign is drawing close to reaching its goal, but donations are still needed. ^Remember, every dollar helps. * ADDRESS comiireutiON Send to: ^•; }} ••>••• i - -- > '•-£' ^ Pix the Eagle Fund The Gbuverneur Tribune-Press 40-42 Clinton St. , N.Y. 13642 ••a \..'*. ,- *l TTw eaffe U bonk restored bjLYonkers Conservator Douglass Kwart I (Some feel it •Ko«M have a copper patina sarface, which would cost rj] 4.000.
