last nites town meeting was a disgrace and an embarrassment for the ENTIRE community (republicans & citizens for spafford)the finger pointing, lying, and overall nasty tones will do nothing to improve the quality of life in spafford. people need to keep their egos in check, grow up, and let bygones be bygones. this apparent escalating war amongst parties needs to stop

Let me first of all say that certain people in this town will NEVER be able to keep their ego's in check. It is simply too hard of a thing to do becuase that would mean they would have to accept the fact that they are all equal and they would never go for that. The basis of this town is thick skulled individuals and as far as I can see certain members of the town will never change. I only wish that these newcombers would stop trying to change Borodino. The citizens who have lived here for a long time, will most likely continue to live here. We will never be Skaneateles and quite frankly I dont think anyone wants to see that happen. Leave Borodino alone, and let us live our quiet lives like most of us have done for so long. Just because a few people want their names to hold a certain title, BS. Give up all of you who are so dedicatedly trying to ruin the town.

That's the same thing the Indians said when your ancestors moved to Spafford. Now the Indians are all gone and it appears the "new" folks want to repeat history. Sone you will all be "changed" or gone , like what happened in Skaneateles

got to agree with simon. left the meeting early 'cuz i felt like i was in a kindergarten class with all the chidish bickering. about the summer kids program - did anyone check with either fire department to see if they would allow the use of their meeting rooms? as someone reasonable said a painter's cloth could be used. or are these people more interested in using the grange than providing something for kids to do. oh, by the way, joyce barnett needs to know that some of us in spafford are not republicans!

Hope Mr Thomson goes to the Grange. Peter can show him the historical hysterical old "plywood covered" door.
( see picture of door )
Hope the NYS attorney Barnett bored, sends his kids to the "dangerous" Grange. What a leader. Gentlewomen! The rules have changed.

What's going on over there? Sounds like you don't need any wind for your wind mill farm as there is plenty at your town board meetings. Glad I'm in quiet Niles--no problems here, no cable either but most of us have electricity now and 80% flush toilets.

Good letter. You are right. Look at the Grange door as an example. Then look at how this simple problem is presented to the board. And i thought I was intellectually weak.

No tire was slashed. The story was made up to collect sympathy. More later.

Dear Hell Hole, I destroyed the evidence by putting a tar plug in the center of the tire. It should have went to a police lab to see if the cut was clean and if it had glass particles. I believe she ran over a broken glass base. Anyways, when you put a plug into a steelbelt tire, you reorganize the hole formation so the plug sets properly. That's what I ment. A slash is usually on the side wall of the tire. A puncture is a puncture. I fixed a puncture in the center of an old tire that had many visable cuts and road wear on it. Please don't wish more unproductive behavior. We got to navigate through this storm. The facts are out so the rest is down hill. Lets continue to be nice at first and set the example. Thank you, sincerely Joe Vecchio.

How absurd.
What Joe actually said was "if you are going to keep fighting about this you should just burn it down."

He's been a supporter and -- has volunteered his services and time-- to SAHS, and the Borodino Fire Department and the Veterans Memorial, and helped out many, many residents at no charge.

The reason for the strong words now? Too many people have spoken about lies told by members of the Spafford Party.

The alleged tire slashing incident? There was no tire slashed. Joe was called upon to assist this resident and fixed her flat tire. She asked him if he thought it had been slashed; he said "no" and explained why. But that didn't stop this resident from filing an incident report with the county sheriff.

This is one of a series of many untrue statements. And by the way, Joe is not the only person that knows the truth.

Well I guess that incident just shows the tact of this particular resident.
