Town Of Pompey

Pompey has rolling hills and

valleys which include five

Hamlets; Pompey Hill, Del-

phi Falls, Pompey Center,

Oran and Watervale which

comprises the largest geo-

graphic town in Onondaga

County. We need to plan for

the future while simultane-

ously preserving Pompey’s

rural character. In 2005 we

were able to reduce the town

tax rate by 2 ½ % for the

year 2006.

Our Highway Department, as

with all departments, has

done an excellent job of con-

trolling expenses. The Town

Board will be updating the

Town’s Master Plan and

meetings with be held

throughout the Town so that

all residents can provide us

with their input. We are also

in the process of updating

the Town’s Emergency

Disaster Recovery Plan to

ensure the safety of all of our

Townspeople. Residents

throughout the Town will be

asked to be involved in this

process. We continually meet

with our fire district repre-

sentatives to ensure our

town's safety.

We have a town Website

townofpompey.com which

has news of the community

and historical activities in

the Town as well as pro-

viding Town minutes,

schedules and a directory

of town officials. We ac-

tively request comments

and views from our com-

munity.

We will be continuing the

Enhanced Services of the

Onondaga County Sher-

iff’s Department to help

ensure the safety of our

residents.

We have DSL access in

the Town Hall which en-

ables us to work with the

State and County more

effectively, in regards to

our Courts, Code En-

forcement, Clerks, and

Tax Offices. We will con-

tinue working with

County Executive Nicho-

las Pirro, State Senator

John DeFrancisco and

State Assemblyman Jeff

Brown to insure that the

residents’ interests are

promoted, protected and

preserved, making

Pompey a great place to

work, live and play .

I look forward to meeting

with town residents any-

time I am out and about.

I have been attending as

many meetings regarding

the town as possible and

attend county and state

meetings as well. If there

are any concerns you, as a

resident may have, please

feel free to contact me at

the Town Hall or at

home. I will be glad to

meet with you and discuss

those concerns.

T he Planning Board functions are to advise and assist the Town in the development

of goals and objectives for the future direction and growth of the Town of Pompey including but not limited to the present health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the citizens. The role of the board is to plan for future development of the community to the end that:

1. Infrastructure systems are planned for accordingly

2. New community centers grow only with adequate highway and utility facilities

3. The needs of agriculture, industry, and business be recognized for future growth in concert with residential planning

4. Residential areas provide beneficial surroundings for family life

5. The growth of the community

be commensurate with and promote the efficient and economical use of public funds

The Town of Pompey Planning Board continues to provide review for these and other planning items in accordance with Onondaga C o u n t y ’ s 2 0 1 0 P l a n n i n g Documents. Activity volume of subdivision applications has remained constant and consistent with recent past year’s activities.

Town Highway Dept.

The Town’s Highway Department deserves a tremendous round of applause for

keeping our roadsides clear of brush, aiding drivers at intersections with a better

lines-of-sight . John Palladino keeps our safety high in mind and costs for running

our highway department in check. “Our Highway Department, as with all

departments, has done an excellent job of controlling expenses.” says Carole

Marsh Supervisor for the Town Of Pompey.

The County of Onondaga is examining the possibility of consolidating County Tax Collection Services. The Town of Pompey currently collects county taxes at the Town Hall, with Karen Dennis Pompey Tax Collec-tor, overseeing the collection.

This personal touch is what makes paying our county taxes more pleasant. If the Consolidation were to take place, Pompey residents would then have to take or send their payments directly to downtown Syracuse.

Currently, Pompey sends the county sales tax money back to the county to help keep our county tax rate lower.

If you have mixed feelings or questions concerning this movement,

please speak up at the next Town Board meeting or speak with your

County Legislator.

POMPEY COMMUNITY COUNCIL NEWS

Another summer is now behind us as we begin to see fall in the foliage and feel the cooler nights.

Our swim program had an enrollment of approximately 250 children this summer. The enrollment was down some, and I believe that the opening of the YMCA in Fayetteville may have had an impact on this.

We lost one week during the first swim session due to problems with the Cazenovia College pool. They replaced a part and the staff worked diligently to clear up the pool and was in contact with me daily as to the progress. Once we got past that, the rest of the first session and all three weeks of the second session went smoothly.

Our Activity program at Pratt’s Falls had much smaller groups than in past years and the children seemed to enjoy the more individualized attention they received.

I had a great group of instructors/counselors that all worked well together. There were quite a few new employees, but with the guidance of Don Moss and Holden Omans, they were able to step right in and make the children comfortable in all classes.

I hope to get the word out so that next summer we will have a higher enrollment. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn how to swim. I have such pride in our program, and that all my instructors have the desire to make that happen for our community members beginning at a young age.

Please look for the 2007 registration forms on our Town website, at the town hall, and local post offices beginning next May. You may also contact me @ swimprogramtownofpompey.com

A Rabies Clinic is set for October 2nd 5-7 PM at the Pompey Highway garage. A $10 fee payable at the time of vaccination. If your canine is not up to date on its vaccination, please watch for this clinic and make an ap-pointment or take your dog to a veterinarian for the required shot(s). It would be wise to also have your animal vaccinated for distemper as well.

If your animal is currently up to date on its vaccinations and you would like to stop by the Pompey Town Hall, you may get their license there. It is very important that our pets receive their rabies vaccinations in a timely fashion. Many of our pets are like children to us and need us, as owners, to take responsibility for their welfare. A dog is easier to return to their owner, in the event that they run away, if they have a license on their collar.

Sue Snavlin is the current Town of Pompey Animal Control Officer. 315-677-3582

Every dog, regardless of age, owned or harbored in New York State for longer than 30 days must

be licensed in the town, city or village where the dog is being harbored.

The following is the only license exemption: If the dog is under four months of age and not

running-at-large (off the owner’s premises)

Applications are available at the Town Clerk’s Office.

You will need to furnish proof of spaying or neutering and a current rabies certificate when you

apply for the dog license.

Dog License Fees:

$2.50 if the dog is spayed or neutered

$10.50 if the dog isn’t spayed or neutered

Primary & Election News

The voting districts are now being regulated by the County Board of Elections per the NEW YORK STATE

C O N S O L I D A T I O N A N D I M P R O V E M E N T A C T O F 2 0 0 5 . ( E f f e c t i v e 2 0 0 6 )

This Act centralizes all elections operations under the County Board of Elections. Counties are now responsible

for Inspectors, Custodians, Party Representative, Recanvassers and Polling Places.

To this end, the HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT OF 2002 (HAVA) (effective 2003, 2006) was instituted.

The new Federal Legislation “Help America Vote Act” (HAVA) became effective January 1, 2003. Phrase 1

was being implemented in 2004 and additional New York State Legislation will be implemented in 2006.

This required the Board of Elections to have N.Y. State drivers license or the last four digits of social security

number from any first time voter in Onondaga County who has registered to vote since January 1, 2003. We

also were required to have any of these people registering to vote by mail.

Phase 2 of HAVA is to implement a replacement of the lever voting machines that Onondaga County has. The

effect of Phase 2 to the Onondaga County Board of Elections would be to purchase new voting machines that

would allow all persons with disabilities to have the same voting experience as anyone else. It also mandates an

i n c r e a s e d f o c u s o n p o l l i n g s i t e a c c e s s i b i l i t y .

You should receive a notification from the County Board of Elections prior the November General Elections

explaining where to go to vote.

Warm Their Hearts is a program designed to help Veterans with gently used, handmade and donated items such as:

Lap Blankets Walker Totes

Wheelchair Totes Stoma (Trach) Bibs

Colostomy Bag Covers Winter Hats

Baseball Caps New Tee Shirts

12-18” Throw Pillows

Our goal is to gain the support of volunteers in helping to make or donate these items for Veterans. We are appealing to

knitting/crocheting groups, schools, senior citizen groups and anyone who would like to lend a hand. This is a great pro-

ject for Family & Consumer Science classes to be involved in. Any of these items can be gently used, crocheted, knitted

or sewn. All items will be donated to the Vets currently in the VA Medical Center, families of Veterans, as well as, home-

less Vets located throughout the area.

Items can be dropped off at the Pompey Town Hall.

For more information, patterns, please call Barbara Maestri at 484-9948 or 558-2915. You can also e-mail Barbara at

Our six year old son thought he had

mastered the art of cooking and one

day decided to surprise us with break-

fast in bed. He carefully got every-

thing out that he needed to make

scrambled eggs, toast and grits. The

peace and quiet of our Sunday morn-

ing was interrupted by banging pots

and then slamming of the cupboard

doors. My husband and I ran to the

kitchen to find out what in the world

was going on.

There at the kitchen table, sat our

son upset and crying.

“What is the matter,” we asked.

Sobbing and barely audible he replied, “I

got everything out like you told me to,

but I still can’t make your breakfast.”

“Why not,” I asked.

“I read the directions to make the grits,

but I couldn’t find a 1/2 cup of yield…so

I put everything away.” He stormed out

of the kitchen before I could explain.

Sometimes life’s problems can be ex-

plained away very simply if we just ask

the right questions.

Start looking around your neighborhood at those old barns and outbuildings. Next year a show of new and old photographs, paintings, watercolors, pen & ink, and charcoal drawings will highlight these preserved and disappearing Pompey gems. Everyone is welcome to enter.

Tidbits & Humor

Pompey Barn Exhibit

From the Desk of Ruth Hotaling; Town Historian

The Town of Pompey has documentation about its Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Civil War Soldiers. Now is the time to compile information about Pompey’s Men and Women who served in the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Viet Nam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Please start a record of your own family for these conflicts. Some things you could include would be pictures, letters, age, years of service, branch of service, rank, battles (when known), personal memories or any other pertinent facts.

For future generations of Pompey, it would be appropriate to compile as many of these as possible. We need to compile a list of all of Pompey’s Veterans and the Wars in which they served. Maybe plaques in the Town Hall would be a way to recognize these men and women.

If you would like to serve on this committee or assist in any way please contact

Ruth Hotaling; Town Historian @ 315-682-9066.

We need your help

in finding old &

new photos of our

town’s barns to be

used in our Barn


It has been a busy Spring and Summer for the Research Center at our Mu-seum. We have had many visitors from other states (California, Utah, Colo-rado, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey) and even four people from Ontario, Canada. They come looking for information about their Pompey Ancestors.. We share our files, books, maps, and photos with them and they share their family notebooks with us. It is a true learning ex-perience for all.

Pompey Historical Society

Our Research Center

The Pompey Historical Society has been instrumental in bringing culture to the Pompey area for many years thanks to the effort of many of its citizens. Recently, at the new Pomeroy-Coe Heritage Center we were treated to a cele-bration on June 30th, to a cultural and educational experience that included a presentation by Oneida Nation member Victoria Shenandoah and her two sons, Vincent and Wesley. This demon-stration was interactive with the audience taking part in native dances. The public enjoyed the evening with music, dance, a strawberry Social and friendship. Also for the first time that eve-ning, the public was given to op-

portunity to view the two ‘saved’ rooms of the Jerome family, in their original state, complete with spinning wheel and other items of interest.

Currently on display at the Pompey Town Hall, is a collection of artifacts concerning the “Old Stone Store” in located in Pompey. The Stone Store most recently housed an antique and crafts business.

The Pompey Historical Society puts out a newsletter for its patrons. Join-ing the Historical Society has many benefits, one of them being becom-ing involved with saving Pompey’s History.

“Footsteps in Time” is an ongoing venture to name bricks placed in the courtyard, to honor our past, pre-

sent, and future. These bricks can be named to commemorate a loved one, honor your family, or recog-nize your organization or business. The bricks make unique gifts for that special someone or particular occasion.

The Pompey Historical Society re-cently presented “Scholars Among Us”, a program and reception to honor a person whose valuable his-torical research has enriched our knowledge and appreciation of the history of our Town. Darothy DeAngelo, aka “Darothy of Oran” was our featured honoree.

The Town of Pompey website has a feature that allows our local residents to list

their businesses on the site free of charge. Details of their businesses should in-

clude address, contact numbers and a brief description of the business.

We share our files, books, maps, and photos with them and they share their family notebooks with us. It is a true learning


Now that I have completed my

first tax collection season I

thought it would be a good time

to share some of the questions I

have been asked. These are valid,

timely questions. I hope you find

the answers to anything you may

have wanted to ask. If not, e-mail

me with your question, and I will

do my best to find the answer for

you.

Q: What is “ongov.net”. And

how do I use it?

A. Onondaga County has a great

website; www.ongov.net. Just

about anything related to the

county is on there… park infor-

mation, contact lists for all the

county government representa-

tives, information on the Onon-

daga Lake clean-up as well as

property tax information. To ac-

cess tax information, click on the

“Real Property Tax” picture or

scroll down to “Real Property

Tax” in the bottom menu. A

wealth of information is there,

including the contact information

for your Town Tax Collector or

Receiver and your School Tax

Collector. You can look up the

information for past tax years.

You can see the property infor-

mation and assessment. Ideally,

use the tax map number to

search. But you can search by

name or address. Just remember

to indicate the Town of Pompey

on the left side of the search

page! Give it a try...

Some of the frequently asked

questions

Q. Can our school taxes be paid in

split payments like the county taxes?

Each school in the Town of

Pompey collects their own

taxes. Please check with them.

Q. Can I pay my county taxes in

partial payments?

A. Yes, BUT there are rules! The

first payment must be made before

January 31 of the tax year. Each

payment must be one half (50%) of

the outstanding balance. Penalties

will be calculated on the outstanding

balance in February (1%) and March

(1.5% through 3/15, 1.5% + $1 af-

ter 3/15). I suggest calling me be-

fore making out your check during

the penalty phase of collection!

Q. Any tips to help taxpayers pre-

pare for next year?

A. I would ask that you make sure

your mailing address is correct. Did

you recently build? Did you close

your post office box? Or open one?

I send the bill out the last week of

the year. You should receive your

bill by the end of the first week of

2006. (Whether you receive this bill

or not, the tax is due!!) I do my best

to research returned mail, but this

year I had 10 undelivered bills. So

check this year’s bill. Did it forward

to you? Did you have to call me to

get the amounts? If so, call my of-

fice with the correct address so we

are set before next tax season!

Q.When are you available at the

Town Hall?

A. During January, I am available

three times a week. This year I had

office hours one day, one evening

and Saturday mornings. In February

and March, I am available two days a

week. However, during the tax sea-

son I am there a lot more often than

those hours. Please feel free to call

and see if I’m there! While there are

no formal office hours from April

through December, I return calls

daily. Leave me a detailed message or

send me an e-mail and I will get back

to you with whatever you need.

I hope I have answered some of your

questions with this column. If not,

call or e-mail me.

Skier’s Responsibility Code: Warning to skiers: Downhill skiing, like many other sport, contains inherent risks including, but not limited to, the risk of

personal injury, including catastrophic injury, or death, or property damage, which mau be caused by variations in terrain or weather conditions, or subsurface snow, ice, bare spots or areas of thin cover, moguls, ruts, bumps or other persons using the facilities or rocks, forest growth, debris, branches, trees, roots, stumps, other natural objects or man-made objects that are incidental to the provision or maintenance of a ski facility in New York State. New York State law imposes a duty on you to become appraised of and understand the risks inherent in the sport of skiing, which are set forth, so that you can make an informed decision of whether to participate in skiing notwithstanding the risks. New York also imposes additional duties upon you to which you must adhere for the purpose of avoiding injury caused by any of the risks inherent in skiing. If you are not willing to assume all the risks and abide by these duties, you must not participate in skiing in this area.

Important Information For Residents

The Towns of Pompey, Fabius, Tully & LaFayette formed a municipal trash district. This allows us to

have residential trash pick-up at rates much lower than private/individual rates. Non-residents must

set up service by calling Minnie Dancks at 315-683-5679

Choices for levels of service are as follows:

a. 1-32 Gal Trash container

b. 3-32 Gal Trash container

c. Unlimited– Trash containers (household trash only)

Each level has unlimited recycling. No container can weigh more than 75lbs.

Payment is due before service starts. After setting up service for first time, the charges will be billed on

your Town/County tax bill in January

Any changes must be made by August to appear on January tax bill. No refunds will be issued.

Any resident not choosing a level will be assigned the 3 container service

There is an option for Self-Service which means you will take your trash to OCCRA on your own.

It is important you speak with Minnie to set-up your service level. So it will appear correctly on your

tax bill.

Feher Rubbish Removal is the trash hauler. Contact them to report missed pick-ups, confirm pick-up

days, etc… Their number is 315-422-0715.

Legislator Dale Sweetland Recognizes Contribution of Emergency Communications Workers

I hope that all residents of our county are enjoyed a happy and healthy summer season. Onondaga County has been busy providing for the needs of the community. I would like to highlight a few of these endeavors.

Steven Wisely, director of the center, is stepping down in the near future to pursue other career goals. A new director of operations will not mean a new direction. The center will continue to provide the same service continuously to the citizens and visitors of our county.

The dedication of employees to citizens in the direst of need, and the spontaneous nature of their duties make for a highly stressful atmosphere for all who work at the center. Employees are not allowed the tradi-tional lunch hour with the freedom to do what they chose and report back one hour later. Employees are given short breaks to eat, and maximizing the effectiveness of these breaks on the often-stressed workforce is essential to the delivery of services.

For the second year in a row the Wal-Mart Corporation has joined Onondaga County government in rec-ognizing the dedication of these very special public employees. A $2,000 grant will help to increase the com-forts available to workers who often have little relief from their stressful service to the public. I would like to join those recognizing the dedication of those who work in our midst responding to our calls for emergency assistance.

As Chairman of the County Legislature I am aware of the needs of our criminal justice system, and how they are changing. I am very interested in the recent activities of a special committee to examine the over-crowding existence at the Justice Center. Keeping the public safe while making sound fiscal improvements that will be cost effective is always my goal.

In order to address federal mandates and public concerns about preparedness in the face of a potential worldwide epidemic, the Health Committee has been actively involved in implementing safeguards that will protect and insure our safety should a threat become reality. Onondaga County has organized an alliance with the surrounding counties for mutual aid that will provide a unified response in a health crisis. Most impor-tantly, Onondaga County Commissioner of Health Dr. Cynthia Morrow is monitoring health events as they occur, anywhere in the world, with an eye to their potential effect on Onondaga County. Dr. Morrow is an experienced public health professional who is a leader in her field. We are lucky to have her as an advocate.

It was my pleasure to help to secure additional patrols by the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office for Pompey. Supervisor Carole Marsh and the Town Board suggested the extra patrols to me. I think they are a welcome addition. Now that summer has ended, I would enjoy feedback from residents on the effectiveness of these additional services.

It is my pleasure to serve you as your representative on the County Legislature. If you should have any questions about these issues, or other activities of county government, please do not hesitate to call me at: 683-5828.

TO THE WONDERFUL PROTECTORS OF THE TOWN OF POMPEY: THE STATE POLICE, THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, OUR TOWN’S FIRE D E PA RT M E N T S A N D O U R T OW N CONSTABLES

As a Town, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for all you do for the residents of the Town of Pompey. While we go about our daily activities or we are sleeping at night you are the protectors of our community. Many times we take for granted the coverage that we have.

The Pompey Hill Fire Department went on 149 calls from January 1st until July 31st. These calls consisted of 40 Fires, 25 car accidents and 51 medical and 24 misc. other incidents?

Delphi Falls Fire Department went on 79 calls from January 1st until July 31st. These calls consisted of 34 fires, 45 accidents and EMS calls.

Manlius Fire Department responded Mutual Aide to Pompey, but the number of calls was not available at the this time. Manlius Station #2 covers the Northeastern portion of the Town of Pompey.

The men and women of the State Police, Sheriff’s Department, our volunteer fire departments and our town constables work tirelessly so that we may enjoy our life in the suburbia of Pompey.

Please support your local protectors, whose families also sacrifice so much, we salute these great men and women that support our community so that we may go about our daily life. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a volunteer fire fighter, please have them contact their local fire department. There are many ways to participate as a member. To Contact : Pompey Hill Fire Department call 315-677-3212 Delphi Falls Fire Department call 315-622-3595 Manlius Fire Department call 315-682-8318

Remember... for any emergency situation please dial 911 to get assistance!!


Internet Access—What’s Available for us?

Open the newspaper in the morning; any morning. There on a full page ad is the declaration that for a small fee per month you can get

high speed internet access for your home or office. Also in very small print on the bottom of the page is the statement that angers much

of the Pompey area… “this service is not available in all areas.”

After repeated calls to the various high speed service providers, it has been noted that Pompey is in an area where:

1. The phone lines are at the end one company’s line and the start of another. Therefore it would be cost prohibitive to setup DSL ser-

vice for those customers unlucky enough to be located at the end.

2. Cable service currently is available on most North-South roads, but if you live on a road that runs East-West and houses are few and

far between then there is little hope of getting the cable companies to run the necessary line for potential customers located on those

roads. ‘Always thought of Route 20 as a major thoroughfare,’ said a Pompey resident who recently obtained an estimate from a cable

company out of Syracuse included a $33,000 cost just to run the needed cable one-eighth of a mile to get connected. The estimate

did not include the monthly cost of service or the equipment setup. However, once that piece of cable was run, then anyone on that

stretch of road would be able to get the service for just the monthly cost.

3. There is always the option of using satellite high speed. You thought that dial-up and cable were expensive? Per another resident,

“The minimum cost to get satellite internet service starts at $200 deposit for equipment and installation and carries a monthly cost of

$59.95 per month access fee along with other restrictions and rules for early termination.”

4. Then there is the old fashioned method….D i a l-u p. Unless you are lucky enough to pay for two phone lines and can dedicate one

of them to internet access, then you are probably missing important phone calls. You also are experiencing long downloads and

sending any file of considerable size, takes forever.

It is time to wake up the internet access companies to our plight. Just because we live in the beautiful, serene settings of the Pompey

Hills, doesn’t mean we are a community without the need to stay in touch. Installing cable, Broadband or DSL access to the Pompey area

would be well worth their company’s time and money. We are looking for people willing to serve on an advisory board to discuss our

Town’s options and the availability of Internet Access for our Town of Pompey residents .
