Even for a summer meeting the agenda for this one was sparse, especially considering that it was supposed to be the only meeting in July. But at its meeting on July 16th the Blue Ridge School Board, prompted by its president Laurie Brown-Bonner, scheduled a special “goal-setting” workshop on July 30 to look forward to the next school year, and to set some targets for Superintendent Robert McTiernan. That one will start at 5:00 p.m. when the new Fund-Raising Committee gathers to continue its own planning. The workshop itself will begin at 5:30; Ms. Brown-Bonner figures they will be at it for “a couple of hours.”

The Fund-Raising Committee is already planning on a golf tournament in April of next year. This time they agreed to work on a “taste around town” event. The October event will try to gather the district’s gourmets to sample – at a price – the offerings of the district’s best cooks. Everyone is invited to participate, and bring along some friends.

With their customary punctuality, the New Milford Township supervisors met on July 18th for their monthly meeting. Mr. Young had requested to be put on the agenda, and business with him was dealt with early in the meeting. Mr. Briechle, the township's supervisor, had recommended to the supervisors that a motion be made and acted upon accepting the terms of the stipulation to effectively end the litigation between Mr. Young and the township. Mr. Young had complied with a memorandum of understanding and paid a civil fine. Mr. Young went to the front table, after confirming that the supervisors were in agreement with the papers. The various parties involved signed the papers.

Prior to discussing other business, Mr. Hunter announced that a New Milford woman, Beatrice Phelps, had gone missing. Anyone with information was asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (570) 465-3514.
