B2 Tha Post-Star. Gtont Falls, Y. Tuesday, March 15. 1904 Local Greenwich vote today Warren seeks funds for gym work spend $38,170 on new computers and equipment. Most of the purchasci will be for the high school.

Although the district's computers are "serviceable," Kuslcr said, they aren't modem enough to allow the use of certain programs. Residents will also vote on the budget in May. A first draft of the district's proposed expenditures fur I9V4-95 was presented Monday night Because of another year of severe cuts in federal aid through the Chapter I program, the board may have to cut back on its remedial education staff. If no cuts are made, tlte board will have to put in more load money to keep tltose programs at tlicir current levels. By Cth Agulnkk Staff WrKor CHESTERTOWN The North Warren school board will ask voters in May fur permission to spend $58,000 to remove asbestos and replace loose ceiling tiles in the high school gym.

Use of the gym has been restricted since last March when a custodian starting a project to Slace the loose tiles discovered the strips of estos insulation. A consulting team decided that the gym was safe to use as long as the tiles were not disturbed. That meant the school couldn't hove dunces in the gym or allow certain sports teams, like the baseball team, to practice there. It also meant that the school could not continue with its plans to remove tlie Uxwc tiles. District olliciuls started that project because tliey believed the tiles were not held together firmly enough and could full if struck by a ball or some other object If voters approve the proposition on May 4, it will cost them about $32,000.

The oilier $26,000 will come from a repair reserve fund, Superintendent Cfcrald Kusler said. The project will clean out that reserve fund. Also on tlie bullot in May will be a proposition to GREENWICH School district voters will be asked today to approve the removal of four underground fuel tanks and the installation of one large above-ground tank, and to authorize the purchase of two new school buses. Four underground petroleum tanks must be removed and disposed of properly in order for the district to meet federal Environmental Protection Agency requirements. The four tanks, which are located at the bus garage, will be replaced by one 2,000 above-ground tank at an estimated cost of $44,900.

"We have to make sure this man never, ever leaves prison," Mr. Nixon said. "The day he does, I make a promise to this court, he won't get very far." When Mr. Nixon finished his short statement, the audience erupted in applause.

District Attorney Ronald Briggs assured the Nixons that he would ask the parole board not to let Jones out But the Nixons remained angry over the plea bargaining by both Jones and his wife. Despite her participation in armed robbery, Theresa Jones will stay out of jail under the terms of an agreement worked out with federal prosecutors, according to her attorney, Stewart Frum of Westport Frum told the Associated Press that his client didn't learn her husband had killed Kari Lynn Nixon until quite recently. Sentencing Mrs. Jones to prison would be detrimental to her two young children, Frum said. The children, 7 and 5 years old at the time, were in the getaway car that Mrs.

Showalter's recommendation to let the committees continue will stand as the final decision unless another board member requests a discussion, Hughes said. After the meeting, Carney said Showalter never addressed the concern that the program was expanding without increasing the staff.

But she also said she was bothered by the lack of input from the school board into the decision. "The board doesn't seem to be that interested in discussing things brought before it that are of concern to parents," she said. Carney said a group of parents will continue to monitor the enrichment committees. "I don't think the parents are going to go away," she said. them give something back to the community.

Mayor Vincent J. De Santis said the city doesn't have to pay for the use of the prisoners. Chuck Willett, water foreman, said the prisoners were working on Hudson Avenue and Broad Street Monday. They will probably continue working the rest of the week, from 9:30 a.m. to about 2:30 p.m.

"It's a great help," Willett said. "I really don't have the manpower." From Pag B1 Her hands trembling and her voice barely audible, Mrs. Nixon stood before a hushed crowd of friends and relatives, all of them wearing silver hearts inscribed "For Kan," and recalled her daughter's final hours of terror. Mrs. Nixon told how Jones abducted "this young, insecure teenager" at gunpoint and drove her past her own home to a secluded cabin, where he "proceeded to degrade and humiliate her for hours." After raping Kari, Jones tried to strangle her before he put a bullet through her chest, Mrs.

Nixon said. "Who gives anyone the right to destroy something so precious'?" she asked. "Just looking at her, she had such lovely blue eyes, such a warm smile." Mrs. Nixon's husband, Gary, also called for stern justice. Pointing to the words "In God We Trust" engraved above the judge's bench, he echoed his wife's statement that the Nixon family "must hold on and believe in Gifted From Pago B1 Teachers worked on the committees that made the recommendations for changing the enrichment program, he said.

The current committees are only working out the details for how to implement those changes, he said. While teacher input is welcome, it is not crucial at this time, according to Showalter. "We cannot and should not stop our district from functioning simply because we have not been able to conclude our contract negotiations," he said. The board did not discuss the issue of halting the committee work Monday and may not discuss it at Prisoners From Pago B1 Prisoners working on road crews are those serving time in the minimum security section of the prison.

Many of her pieces had a mournful flavor. "An Mhauighdean Mhara," from the group's most recent Green Linnet record in "Island Angel," was the tale of a man who loses his mermaid wife to her watery homeland. On "Dulaman" the mood was lighter. To the subtle pickings of guitarist Daithi Sproule and bouzouki player Ciaran Cumin, she recast this Irish children's song in an ethereal setting.

Ni Mhaonaigh was also an agile and inventive musician, especially in her tandem passages with fellow fiddler Ciaran Tourish.

One can only wonder how splendid they would have been at full strength. Callanan for "taking it upon himself support such a policy with such far-reaching effects." King went on to accuse County Administrator David Wickerham of writing the letter over Callanan's signature. Wickerham denied any connection to the letter, and said board chairmen often comment on ending state legislation without oard approval. "The chairmen of the board have always had the authority to comment on any legislation, and especially when the legislation is (up for approval) between normal board meetings," Wickerham said. No mention of such correspondence needs to be made to the board, Wickerham continued, although it would be made available any member of the public who asked for it.

He also denied Farms First's allegation that the letter made it seem Callanan was expressing the opinion of the entire board. "When the chairman speaks, the chairman speaks for himself," the administrator said. The governor ultimately vetoed the legislation, which had passed the state Senate and Assembly. Supervisor Callanan, who represents the Town of Ballston but no longer board chairman, could not be reached for comment.

,11.11 Irish group By Cut-tin Special to The Post-Star SARATOGA SPRINGS' A century ago legends like humorist Mark Twain and actress Sarah Bernhardt made the Saratoga City Hall Theatre part of their international itineraries. From 1871 to the late 1930s, the theater occupied the second and third floors of the Broadway Street building, and its stage was the site of vaudeville acts, minstrel shows and sideshow oddities like the midget General Tom Thumb. With their concert Friday at the newly refurbished theater, the stellar Irish group Altan became the first major act to revive a storied tradition, responding with a generous two-set, 140-minute performance. Like the Chieftains, the group excelled in fashioning suites of traditional compositions, from Celtic strongholds as close as their native Donegal and as far-flung as Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Islands, and transporting their material from pastoral beginnings to grand orchestral climaxes. Complementing the spirited interplay was the haunting voice of Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh.

While only a few in the audience could claim IDA From Page B1 Information request to Cuomo's office, said the bill would do "very little to preserve farmlands" and would complicate municipalities' needs to deal with solid waste problems. The county intends to open its own landfill on Kobor Road next to the landfill proposed by the Scott-Finch partnership. Various farm groups, including Farms First, the Farm Bureau and the Grange, showed up to support the cause of agriculture, which, they pointed out, is the county's number one industry. "(Callanan) has placed Saratoga County as willing to sacrifice the number one industry in the county for the sole purpose of siting a dump," Farms First President Barbara Weed told a group of reporters Monday afternoon.
