HECTOR—The Smith Park manager included a description of the new pier in the swimming area and the addition of 160 tons of clean sand to make the whole swimming area a more comfortable space to use. During the recent heat wave, the park manager, Brian DeMeritt, noted the park accommodated at least 200 people a day. The boat docks in the launch area have been refurbished. It was reported, however, that a significant number of boating customers ignored the parking rules, making it difficult for others to effectively use the area. The parking area near the launch (that can accommodate seven vehicles and trailers) was crowded with twice the capacity and more. Crowd control measures are being considered. Read More ...

HECTOR—The Hector town board approved without dissent a resolution to enable the town to establish a permissive referendum for a special ambulance district to raise tax money in partial support of the Trumansburg emergency medical services (EMS) delivery in northeast Hector near the village. The ambulance district fees will supplement direct insurance billing for EMS which the village plans to introduce in the coming months. According to the town’s attorney, the ambulance district must be formed separately from the fire district also served by Trumansburg when the village decided to begin direct insurance billing.

HECTOR—Janelle Walker from the County Public Health Department addressed the Hector town board with concerns over rabies in the county. At least two raccoons found with rabies this year already, one in Hector. She urged residents to get their cats and dogs vaccinated for rabies. The Department is planning clinics for rabies shots in the coming months. She also reminded everyone present that tick season is beginning. She asserted that there is Lyme’s Disease in this part of the state. Check yourself and your animals for those hard-to-see deer ticks regularly. She announced the department would hold an old or expired prescription drug drop-off event at the Watkins Glen Highway Department on June 12. County officials will be there to take the medicines and dispose of them properly. “No questions asked,” she said. Read More ...

HECTOR—The Hector town board approved a resolution authorizing the town Supervisor, Ben Dickens, to sign a contract with Delta Engineering to create a baseline report on all 150 miles of roads the town is responsible for maintaining. The baseline study will be prepared to show the current conditions of all the town roads before anticipated heavy traffic from gas drilling activities. The intent is to be able to show proof of the damage done by heavy trucks, drilling equipment and other gas service needed for each well site or even for transport of such material over Hector roads before drilling in the town commences. Hector will thereby be able to establish the liability of gas drilling companies for repair of the roads they damage and relieve taxpaying residents from having to bear the financial burden of repairing road damage that cannot be accurately traced to drilling activity.

HECTOR—Supervisor Dickens announced that the combination of insurance billing and the back-up reliance on property tax revenue created a need under state law for Hector to create a new ambulance district, whose boundaries would coincide with the Fire District already serving that area in Trumansburg. This would require a referendum of district voters to be held in Nov. 2010. Public hearings will be held in the district in the spring to allow time for ballot processing. Dickens further noted that the back-up service for the persons using the Trumansburg Fire District is from Montour Falls, at least 30 minutes from the district.
