For anyone that might have missed the "Current Important News" on the first page, please make sure you check it out. It is the Delaware County Department of Economic Development press release that I was referring to in the November 12th post here. The meeting that is closest to Masonville is Monday, November 17th at the Walton High School and it starts at 6:30pm. |

China currently has a 2 TRILLION DOLLAR SURPLUS right now & yet they have the GALL to ask us to give them money to bail them out - 1)Because they say their money problems are "all our fault"?!? 2)To help them pay for THEIR pollution controls, because we caused most of it therefore they shouldn't be doing the same things we are even though they are causing most of it now?!? -
LOL please boycott all CHINESE products everywhere. Unfortunately that means almost all products sold by our local gas-stations, KMart, WalMart & Dollar stores nowadays, err.
The GOOD NEWS is that we have our own local Masonville General Store that we all can shop at for natural foods, hardware items & really nice Christmas presents made in the u.s.a. Please support & keep our money local by shopping there instead.************ I don't think I've ever seen anything in there with a "made in China" sticker on it. And anyone else that has a business in this town should advertise on this Message Board yes? We in my household will try & keep our cash local this winter for sure. Have a great hunting wknd. :) :) |

Regarding the wind energy in Masonville, I agree that the wind resources are not the strongest in the country. Any calm day means: no production of power. Such interruption can be translated into poor reliability. However, problems of this nature are everywhere with wind farms. To overcome it, large wind farms have fuel burning generators that support power production during calm days. Well, I have better idea. Just in few year solar panels will be twice as much efficient and will cost half price. This means, 4 x more energy for each dolar spent. A combination of wind and solar will become a winner. But the wind turbine must be large-scale, 2-3MW, placed of the top of a hill. Is there anyone who would like to join me? |

This is Kathy Klopchin writing to you. I live over on the south side of Masonville, just off of Route 8 in Whitman. I was at the last Town Board meeting and have been trying to follow up on the County sponsored meetings that Craig was talking about. I have been in touch with Lori Paulson, Grants Manager Trainee of the Delaware County Department of Economic Development. She sent me the attached press release which the County has just sent out to many of the local newspapers and radio stations. So far, from what Lori said, she only received acknowledgement from The Daily Star and a couple of radio stations that they received and will publish it, although probably not until tomorrow or Friday. That's unfortunate because the meetings start on Monday!

The Board has seems rather dead and quiet since the elections. Everyone still in shock? Or, have you all gone into hiding? Don't fear. As soon as our President-Elect takes the oath of office there will be a blinding flash of light and everything will be cured from the economy to warts. |

Masonville now has its own JUDGE JUDY! At yesterday’s Town Council meeting, our court clerk Judy Jackson was appointed Town Justice. When she is ready to “sit” court, after attending Judicial Institute classes, she will have to do so without a court clerk as efficient and capable as herself. I admit to being quite disappointed, for I had wished this appointment for myself and had looked forward to working with a super clerk like Judy.

I have flown with rep's from two "Big" wind companies and have been told by both that Masonville is unacceptable for that. Just trying to put any concerns or false hopes to rest. George |

LOL,sorry I misunderstood. I'll be contacting Peter. I guess if one were in the business of selling wind power Masonville would not be a good customer if the average yearly wind figure was under 13 mph I think the figure is for those big megawatt generators like they have up North. The Town of Masonville might be able to generate enough wind energy on it's own with maybe two or three smaller generators placed in the best wind locations but it would only supplement electricity during the winter months & I agree with you - WAY TOO expensive. While it would put Masonville in the forefront of Delaware County & create all kinds of new jobs, we'd have to raise BIG funds to maintain all kinds of "infrastructure" for that.***The simpler option is for smaller wind "gennies" as they call them-similar to the old windmills used for well pumping in days of old but with much better designs nowadays-hooked up on a small scale for families that have windy hills. If they had excess "wind" power then they could hook their neighbors up. These smaller gennies only need 6-12 mph to operate,& almost everyone has that kind of wind during the winter here. All it takes to set up this small kind of individual system is a 20-40 foot free-standing tower,(or not-my brother has a six foot pole mounted on top of his house)a small genny or two & a bunch of batteries all wired up & protected properly. My brother uses golf-cart batteries he bought cheap on-line.***This technology is exciting & NY State offers allot of FREE know-how,tax breaks,even grants for homeowners. Check out NYSERDA for that. "Little wind" as we call it has little start up costs for the individual homeowner, BIG benefits in saving electrical &/or water heating costs during the winter "wind" season months...& for the other seasons there is "Hydro" & Solar power. LOL would you like to hear about the potential Masonville has for Hydro energy? We love talking about wind/water & solar power.(p.s.-I haven't talked about wood burning 'cause I'm personally allergic to it's dust,& can't physically chop wood anymore but am all for it if folks keep safe.) Sorry LOL,for talking so much about this so-called "free" alternative energy.It's not&now I have to Blow,Sniff& Nuff said, eh? ;) ;) :) |

Bertimouse - I,personally, know very little about wind power. I was speaking of a person who is in the business of solar and wind power. He stated that any sort of wind generation in this area (not every point of Masonville, but in general) wind would not be a good investment due to costs. |
