UNAPPROVED MINUTES
August 11, 2014
The regular meeting of the Town Board was held August 11, 2014 at 7:30 pm at the Grand Gorge Civic Center. PRESENT: Supervisor Thomas S. Hynes, Councilmen Edward Raeder, Allen Hinkley and Carol Murray, Highway Supt. Stephen Schuman, Assessor Robert Breglio and 15 residents. ABSENT: Councilman Gene Cronk and Attorney Kevin Young.
The Minutes of the July 14, 2014 meeting were approved on motion of Edward Raeder second by Allen Hinkley.
AYES – 4 Raeder, Hinkley, Murray, Hynes
NAYS – 0
ABSENT – 1 Cronk
Robert Breglio, Assessor, gave the Town Board a written report and hi-lited certain items including: the verification portion of the revaluation is 90% complete, requested the Town Board adopt the Uniform Assessment Standards published by the Office of Real Property Tax Services in September 2011 and discussed finding 5 new structures built without a building permit that have been reported to the Building Inspector.
Councilman Gene Cronk arrived to the meeting at 7:45 pm.
Peg Ellsworth stated the CDBG Program involves 16 properties where 4 have been completed and 10 are in progress, discussed issues with contractor insurances, stated plans for Labor Dar are shaping up for picnics, music and fireworks. Carolynn Faraci, Parks Clerk, stated WI-FI is now available at the park, the summer youth program will end August 14th, park bookings continue into 2015 and the final movie in the park scheduled for August 21st has been moved to the Roxbury Arts building due to cold nights.
Stephen Schuman, Highway Supt. stated stone and oil roads have been completed except for Mac More Rd. and Lake St., reclamation in the gravel bank has begun, CHIPS monies are expected in September, work is underway to prepare roads now for next year resurfacing, discussed repairs on equipment where Councilman Cronk would like to see more repairs being done in house and not sent out, culverts have been replaced on Old Ferris Farm Rd., and discussed the possibility of rising salt prices.
Supv. Hynes stated a water leak has been detected on Vega Mountain Rd and may possibly be under the road. The line currently feeds three buildings. The matter will be looked into further for repairs and possibly installing three separate service lines.
Darrell Slater expressed concerns with not yet receiving a building permit on his Main St. property. The property is in the Historic District and requires an application to the Historic Preservation Commission for review before the building permit can be issued. The Town Clerk’s Office notifies the Historic Commission of any building permits submitted for work in the Historic District. The building permit was received after the Historic Commission convened in July and Mr. Slater stated he refuses to submit an application to the Historic Commission and added he will continue to work on the building but requested that his building permit be issued. Supv. Hynes requested Mr. Slater attend the Historic Commission’s next meeting scheduled for August 18, 2014 where they will review the matter and a determination will be made, however, Mr. Slater stated he would be on vacation then.
Edward Dalski questioned the status of cell service for the area. Councilman Allen Hinkley says Delaware County Emergency Services is close to submitting an application to replace the tower on Jump Brook Rd. that will hopefully attract carriers to sign on for the needed service. Mr. Hinkley also requested residents to contact their state legislators regarding the matter. Mr. Dalski also requested flower barrels for Main St. Roxbury as the ones in Stamford look so nice lining the street. It was stated, for several years, Roxbury Rotary Club did barrels on Main St. but the barrels got broken so only the flower beds at the ends of the hamlet are now being done and added the group has received a donation to be used for flowers next year. Grand Gorge also has flower barrels lining the street.
David Martin questioned the status of electric installation on two light poles in Grand Gorge for wreaths and playground materials. When NYSEG replaced the poles a couple of years ago, they also took the wreath hookups. Supv. Hynes stated both items are already being looked into.
A letter was received from Randy VonBernewitz and John Kowatch requesting hookup to Roxbury water and sewer for a garage they just purchased in the hamlet of Roxbury.

Orphic Gallery Presents Bob Gruen - ‘Rock Seen’ Rock & Roll Photography Exhibition
The Orphic Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographs from legendary rock photographer Bob Gruen. The show will present 46 photographs of rock greats including John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Debbie Harry, The Ramones and more.
August 29 – October 5
53525 New York 30 (corner of Main and Bridge) Roxbury, NY
Reception for the Artist and Book Signing Friday, August 29, 5-8 pm
The Orphic Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographs from legendary rock photographer Bob Gruen. The show will present 46 photographs of rock greats including John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Debbie Harry, The Ramones and more.
Rock Seen at the Orphic will also include a Teenage Bedroom installation (as seen at MoMA). In addition, signed copies of Bob Gruen’s 14th book ROCK SEEN (Abrams 2011), a monograph spanning his long career, will be available at the gallery.
For forty years, Bob Gruen has been documenting the rock scene, capturing now iconic images of The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin, New York Dolls, Blondie, The Ramones, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono among others and continues to work today with current acts Green Day and the Strypes. Bob Gruen says of his career, “Photography has led me to some great experiences and enduring relationships. Blurring the line between work and play, many of the people I met through my work have become friends; some are like family to me.”
Bob Gruen’s career began in 1965, when he shot his first concert photos at the Newport Folk Festival. “I was still a kid and a big Bob Dylan fan.” Bob Gruen recalls, “I talked my way into getting a photo pass so I could be down front. That was when Dylan played electric guitar and claimed rock’n’roll was American folk music and got booed off stage for it. After that I began taking photos a lot.” (Bob Gruen, Interview with Carlo McCormick, The New York Trash)
While shooting freelance work and photo stories for the underground rock magazine “Rock Scene,” Bob photographed local New York City bands “on stage, off stage, at home, at parties, and during time off”. “Many photos I was taking then weren’t used until years later; they weren’t considered to be news at the times, but now they are ‘history’ ” Bob says of his early photographs which document the very beginnings of what would later become a monumental rock scene at the now infamous New York City clubs CBGB and Max’s Kansas City where bands such as the Ramones and Blondie got their start.
Many of Bob Gruen’s iconic photographs began with unassuming introductions that became the catalyst for honest and enduring friendships. A hurried introduction to Ike and Tina Turner outside a concert began a friendship that resulted in Gruen’s first album cover, and later Gruen’s first concert tour.
In 1972, Gruen met John Lennon and Yoko Ono at a benefit concert, and later dropped some prints at their nearby apartment. This simple gesture began a close friendship between Bob Gruen, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono. Throughout the 1970’s Gruen worked as their personal photographer, documenting concerts and press conferences, as well as capturing serene moments between John and Yoko, and the first images of their son, Sean Lennon. In 1974, Gruen suggested photographing John Lennon on top of his New York apartment building, which would later become the hugely iconic image of John Lennon wearing the New York City T-Shirt.
Gruen’s photographs are in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London, and have been shown in the Museum of Modern Art’s 2009 exhibition, “Looking at Music: Side 2” and the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s 2009 exhibition, “Who Shot Rock & Roll”. Bob Gruen lives and works in New York City.

The Birds
This evening’s movie features the 1963 Hitchcock classic ‘The Birds’.A wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people there in increasing numbers and with increasing viciousness.
July 31 at Sunset
Waiting for Guffman
This evening’s movie feature is ‘Waiting for Guffman’.Directed by, co-written by and starring David Guest, ‘Waiting for Guffman’ is a mockumentary of an aspiring director and the marginally talented amateur cast of a hokey small-town Missouri musical production go overboard when they learn that someone from Broadway will be in attendance.
August 7 at Sunset
To Kill A Mockingbird
This evening’s feature is the 1962 film classic ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ starring Gregory Peck.The film version of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer-prize-winning, semi-autobiographical novel, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ was one of those rare screen adaptations that pleased fans of the book and its author as well. After seeing the film, Lee commented, “I can only say that I am a happy author. They have made my story into a beautiful and moving motion picture. I am very proud and grateful.”Set in Lee’s hometown, Monroeville, Alabama, ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ vividly captures a specific time and place when racial unrest was at its peak in the South. Yet despite its controversial nature, the real focus of the story is the relationship between Scout, a tomboyish six-year-old, her older brother, Jem, and their attorney father. Part of the film’s huge appeal is seeing the dramatic events unfold through the innocent eyes of childhood.
August 21 at Sunset
Frozen Sing-a-Long
