Has there been new news about the P&C and who will take the Skaneateles location over?

Comment on "You can't drink money!" - Less than 200 people show for community forum on hydrofracking. Local officials said to have a "condescending, patronizing tone." by Terri Roney

Lindsay: I haven’t seen your proposed letter to me yet. But I believe the forum that Laura Brazak attended was in Syracuse, at Nottingham High School, a week or so ago. I attended one to which local officials were invited two weeks ago sponsored by Senator DeFrancisco’s office. The Skaneateles High School Environmental Club is hosting an event on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 7:00 in the auditorium. Joe Heath, attorney for the Onondaga Nation, will be there talking about the process.
I agree that we need to take measures to protect our watershed – if we can. As local officials, both in our town and others near us affected by these processes, we are gathering information and trying to determine what, if any, jurisdiction we have regulating these activities. It has been suggested that only the DEC and the Public Service Commission will be regulate this industry. I am not sure of the accuracy of those suggestions.
Something I learned in the session I attended, hydrofracking is not a new process. It has actually been allowed in NY since 1992. The difference is drilling has only occurred vertically until now – the gas companies now want to drill horizontally. Because horizontal drilling covers more area, it requires more water thereby increasing the possibility of contamination. Feel free to call me or stop by at Town Hall to further discuss. Otherwise, I hope to see you at the Feb. 23 presentation here in Skaneateles. Terri

Hi Lindsay,
You can click Submit Story on the main menu above, and submit your letter to the editor in that way if you wish. Laura has also received your note. Also, look in the links above for a new hydrofracking awareness group that’s been formed on Facebook, since it’s a good place to discuss the issue w/ others and keep up to date. Thanks!

Dear Laura,
Could you consider the enclosed (which I hope I can do) a letter to the editor? It’s an open letter to Terri Roney. I didn’t even hear about this community forum thing, and I’m going ballistic about this subject. I work! I’m a single mom! I need more publicity if I’m going to show up for anything. Lindsay

Comment on Skaneateles contemplating wheel lock device by Mark Hess

With the number of officers on the force, it would probably be less costly, more effective and personal for an officer on duty to make a visit to a residents’ home with a friendly reminder of their overdue tickets. For those who are not residents a letter would have the same effect. I find it hard to believe we need both police vehicles, with both officers to write a ticket for a speeding grandmother in a minivan.Also, $500.00 would go a long way for public relations classes for some of Skaneateles’ finest.

Comment on The fate of Skaneateles P&C by Chris Briel

I heard (from a P&C insider) that it will be final, on Thursday all P&C’s will be Topps Stores. Name may stay the same, they aren’t sure yet. I wonder what that will mean for what products are carried in the store…..?????

a boot? really? is this really going to be that kind of town? no, we don’t need a boot. while i’ve never had a parking ticket and don’t know if this option is available, a pay-by-card option would make the tickets more likely to be paid.

only place i’ve ever received a parking ticket was in orlando, ironically while paying an expired tag ticket. what luck! anyway, they had just instituted a pay-by-card option, and it ended up being $5 cheaper. think i payed it over the phone while applying my new registration sticker to my tag.

I remember those days too Kate.

It’s a shame to go in the direction they are proposing, I hope it doesn’t happen.

Comment on The fate of Skaneateles P&C by Edie Pasquini

I miss our P&C. I like Wegmans but my shopping bill has increased dramatically since they closed P&C. Wegmans has great products but even though they say their prices are lower I have been to several around my area and depending on where it is( higher income areas) the prices are different for the same product. Also with so many more products you are exposed to, the more you buy. I have 4 choices to shop, Walmart,Wegmans, Topps or Aldi. The first and last are lower priced but do not have all the selection. Topps business practice drove me away. Just be advised as great as it is and unless you adhere to your grocery list you may find the same happens to your grocery budget.
