Pompey’s
Mission
Statement
The goal of the Town
Board is to bring
Pompey up to date regarding the concerns of
our residents; town
growth as a whole, property taxes, conservation
issues, animal control,
police coverage and our
town’s future.
Pompey has rolling hills and
valleys which include five
Hamlets; Pompey Hill, Delphi Falls, Pompey Center,
Oran and Watervale which
comprises the largest geographic town in Onondaga
County. We need to plan for
the future while simultaneously preserving Pompey’s
rural character. In 2005 we
were able to reduce the town
tax rate by 2 ½ % for the
year 2006.
Our Highway Department, as
with all departments, has
done an excellent job of controlling expenses. The Town
Board will be updating the
Town’s Master Plan and
meetings with be held
throughout the Town so that
all residents can provide us
with their input. We are also
in the process of updating
the Town’s Emergency
Disaster Recovery Plan to
ensure the safety of all of our
Townspeople. Residents
throughout the Town will be
asked to be involved in this
process. We continually meet
with our fire district representatives to ensure our
town's safety.
We have a town Website
townofpompey.com which
has news of the community
Carole Marsh and our town’s oxen at the Town Hall
and historical activities in
the Town as well as providing Town minutes,
schedules and a directory
of town officials. We actively request comments
and views from our community.
We will be continuing the
Enhanced Services of the
Onondaga County Sheriff’s Department to help
ensure the safety of our
residents.
We have DSL access in
the Town Hall which enables us to work with the
State and County more
effectively, in regards to
our Courts, Code Enforcement, Clerks, and
Tax Offices. We will continue working with
County Executive Nicholas Pirro, State Senator
John DeFrancisco and
State Assemblyman Jeff
Brown to insure that the
residents’ interests are
promoted, protected and
preserved, making
Pompey a great place to
work, live and play .
I look forward to meeting
with town residents anytime I am out and about.
I have been attending as
many meetings regarding
the town as possible and
attend county and state
meetings as well. If there
are any concerns you, as a
resident may have, please
feel free to contact me at
the Town Hall or at
home. I will be glad to
meet with you and discuss
those concerns.
Carole Marsh,
Supervisor

To Consolidate or Not to Consolidate County Tax Collection
The County of Onondaga is examining the possibility of consolidating
County Tax Collection Services. The Town of Pompey currently collects
county taxes at the Town Hall, with Karen Dennis Pompey Tax Collector, overseeing the collection.
This personal touch is what makes paying our county taxes more
pleasant. If the Consolidation were to take place, Pompey residents
would then have to take or send their payments directly to downtown
Syracuse.
Currently, Pompey sends the county sales tax money back to the
county to help keep our county tax rate lower.
If you have mixed feelings or questions concerning this movement,
please speak up at the next Town Board meeting or speak with your
County Legislator.
Town Highway Dept.
“Our Highway
Department, as with all
departments, has done
an excellent job of
controlling expenses. “
The Town’s Highway Department deserves a tremendous round of applause for
keeping our roadsides clear of brush, aiding drivers at intersections with a better
lines-of-sight . John Palladino keeps our safety high in mind and costs for running
our highway department in check. “Our Highway Department, as with all
departments, has done an excellent job of controlling expenses.” says Carole
Marsh Supervisor for the Town Of Pompey.

POMPEY COMMUNITY COUNCIL NEWS
Another summer is now behind us as we begin to see fall in the foliage and feel the cooler nights.
Our swim program had an enrollment of approximately 250 children this summer. The enrollment was down some, and
I believe that the opening of the YMCA in Fayetteville may have had an impact on this.
We lost one week during the first swim session due to problems with the Cazenovia College pool. They replaced a part
and the staff worked diligently to clear up the pool and was in contact with me daily as to the progress. Once we got past
that, the rest of the first session and all three weeks of the second session went smoothly.
Our Activity program at Pratt’s Falls had much smaller groups than in past years and the children seemed to enjoy the
more individualized attention they received.
I had a great group of instructors/counselors that all worked well together. There were quite a few new employees, but
with the guidance of Don Moss and Holden Omans, they were able to step right in and make the children comfortable in
all classes.
I hope to get the word out so that next summer we will have a higher enrollment. Everyone should have the opportunity
to learn how to swim. I have such pride in our program, and that all my instructors have the desire to make that happen
for our community members beginning at a young age.
Please look for the 2007 registration forms on our Town website, at the town hall, and local post offices beginning next
May. You may also contact me @ swimprogramtownofpompey.com

Dog Licenses
A Rabies Clinic is set for October 2nd 5-7 PM at the Pompey Highway garage. A $10 fee payable at the time
of vaccination. If your canine is not up to date on its vaccination, please watch for this clinic and make an appointment or take your dog to a veterinarian for the required shot(s). It would be wise to also have your animal
vaccinated for distemper as well.
If your animal is currently up to date on its vaccinations and you would like to stop by the Pompey Town Hall,
you may get their license there. It is very important that our pets receive their rabies vaccinations in a timely
fashion. Many of our pets are like children to us and need us, as owners, to take responsibility for their welfare.
A dog is easier to return to their owner, in the event that they run away, if they have a license on their collar.
Sue Snavlin is the current Town of Pompey Animal Control Officer. 315-677-3582
Every dog, regardless of age, owned or harbored in New York State for longer than 30 days must
be licensed in the town, city or village where the dog is being harbored.
The following is the only license exemption: If the dog is under four months of age and not
running-at-large (off the owner’s premises)
Applications are available at the Town Clerk’s Office.
You will need to furnish proof of spaying or neutering and a current rabies certificate when you
apply for the dog license.
Dog License Fees:
$2.50 if the dog is spayed or neutered
$10.50 if the dog isn’t spayed or neutered
Primary & Election News
The voting districts are now being regulated by the County Board of Elections per the NEW YORK STATE
CONSOLIDATION AND IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 2005.(Effective 2006)
This Act centralizes all elections operations under the County Board of Elections. Counties are now responsible
for Inspectors, Custodians, Party Representative, Recanvassers and Polling Places.
To this end, the HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT OF 2002 (HAVA) (effective 2003, 2006) was instituted.
The new Federal Legislation “Help America Vote Act” (HAVA) became effective January 1, 2003. Phrase 1
was being implemented in 2004 and additional New York State Legislation will be implemented in 2006.
This required the Board of Elections to have N.Y. State drivers license or the last four digits of social security
number from any first time voter in Onondaga County who has registered to vote since January 1, 2003. We
also were required to have any of these people registering to vote by mail.
Phase 2 of HAVA is to implement a replacement of the lever voting machines that Onondaga County has. The
effect of Phase 2 to the Onondaga County Board of Elections would be to purchase new voting machines that
would allow all persons with disabilities to have the same voting experience as anyone else. It also mandates an

You should receive a notification from the County Board of Elections prior the November General Elections
explaining where to go to vote.

Warm Their Hearts
Warm Their Hearts is a program designed to help Veterans with gently used, handmade and donated items such as:
Lap Blankets
Wheelchair Totes
Colostomy Bag Covers
Baseball Caps
12-18” Throw Pillows
Walker Totes
Stoma (Trach) Bibs
Winter Hats
New Tee Shirts
Our goal is to gain the support of volunteers in helping to make or donate these items for Veterans. We are appealing to
knitting/crocheting groups, schools, senior citizen groups and anyone who would like to lend a hand. This is a great project for Family & Consumer Science classes to be involved in. Any of these items can be gently used, crocheted, knitted
or sewn. All items will be donated to the Vets currently in the VA Medical Center, families of Veterans, as well as, homeless Vets located throughout the area.
Items can be dropped off at the Pompey Town Hall.
For more information, patterns, please call Barbara Maestri at 484-9948 or 558-2915. You can also e-mail Barbara at

Tidbits & Humor
You only need two
tools: WD-40 and
Duct Tape. If it
doesn't move and
should, use the
WD-40. If it
shouldn't move
and does, use the
duct tape.
Our six year old son thought he had
mastered the art of cooking and one
day decided to surprise us with breakfast in bed. He carefully got everything out that he needed to make
scrambled eggs, toast and grits. The
peace and quiet of our Sunday morning was interrupted by banging pots
and then slamming of the cupboard
doors. My husband and I ran to the
kitchen to find out what in the world
was going on.
There at the kitchen table, sat our
son upset and crying.
“What is the matter,” we asked.
Sobbing and barely audible he replied, “I
got everything out like you told me to,
but I still can’t make your breakfast.”
“Why not,” I asked.
“I read the directions to make the grits,
but I couldn’t find a 1/2 cup of yield…so
I put everything away.” He stormed out
of the kitchen before I could explain.
Sometimes life’s problems can be explained away very simply if we just ask
the right questions.
From the Desk of Ruth Hotaling; Town Historian
The Town of Pompey has documentation about its Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Civil War Soldiers.
Now is the time to compile information about Pompey’s Men and Women who served in the SpanishAmerican War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Viet Nam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and
Iraq. Please start a record of your own family for these conflicts. Some things you could include would be
pictures, letters, age, years of service, branch of service, rank, battles (when known), personal memories or
any other pertinent facts.
We need your help
in finding old &
new photos of our
town’s barns to be
used in our Barn
For future generations of Pompey, it would be appropriate to compile as many of
these as possible. We need to compile a list of all of Pompey’s Veterans and the
Wars in which they served. Maybe plaques in the Town Hall would be a way to
recognize these men and women.
If you would like to serve on this committee or assist in any way please contact
Ruth Hotaling; Town Historian @ 315-682-9066.
Pompey Barn Exhibit
Start looking around your neighborhood at those old barns
and outbuildings. Next year a show of new and old photographs,
paintings, watercolors, pen & ink, and charcoal drawings will highlight
these preserved and disappearing Pompey gems. Everyone is welcome
to enter.

Pompey Historical Society
The Pompey Historical Society
has been instrumental in bringing
culture to the Pompey area for
many years thanks to the effort of
many of its citizens. Recently, at
the new Pomeroy-Coe Heritage
Center we were treated to a celebration on June 30th, to a cultural
and educational experience that
included a presentation by
Oneida Nation member Victoria
Shenandoah and her two sons,
Vincent and Wesley. This demonstration was interactive with the
audience taking part in native
dances. The public enjoyed the
evening with music, dance, a
strawberry Social and friendship.
Also for the first time that evening, the public was given to op-
portunity to view the two ‘saved’
rooms of the Jerome family, in their
original state, complete with spinning
wheel and other items of interest.
Currently on display at the Pompey
Town Hall, is a collection of artifacts
concerning the “Old Stone Store” in
located in Pompey. The Stone Store
most recently housed an antique and
crafts business.
The Pompey Historical Society puts
out a newsletter for its patrons. Joining the Historical Society has many
benefits, one of them being becoming involved with saving Pompey’s

The bricks make unique gifts for

The Pompey Historical Society recently presented “Scholars Among

Our Research Center
It has been a busy Spring and Summer for the Research Center at our Museum. We have had many visitors from other states (California, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey) and even four
people from Ontario, Canada. They come looking for information about
their Pompey Ancestors.. We share our files, books, maps, and photos with
them and they share their family notebooks with us. It is a true learning experience for all.
Free Business Listing
The Town of Pompey website has a feature that allows our local residents to list
their businesses on the site free of charge. Details of their businesses should include address, contact numbers and a brief description of the business.
We share our files,

A Thank you from Karen Dennis- Tax Collector
Now that I have completed my
first tax collection season I
thought it would be a good time
to share some of the questions I
have been asked. These are valid,
timely questions. I hope you find
the answers to anything you may
have wanted to ask. If not, e-mail
me with your question, and I will
do my best to find the answer for
you.
Q: What is “ongov.net”. And
how do I use it?
A. Onondaga County has a great
website; www.ongov.net. Just
about anything related to the
county is on there… park information, contact lists for all the
county government representatives, information on the Onondaga Lake clean-up as well as
property tax information. To access tax information, click on the
“Real Property Tax” picture or
scroll down to “Real Property
Tax” in the bottom menu. A
wealth of information is there,
including the contact information
for your Town Tax Collector or
Receiver and your School Tax
Collector. You can look up the
information for past tax years.
You can see the property information and assessment. Ideally,
use the tax map number to
search. But you can search by
name or address. Just remember
to indicate the Town of Pompey
on the left side of the search
page! Give it a try...
Some of the frequently asked
questions
Q. Can our school taxes be paid in
split payments like the county taxes?
Each school in the Town of
Pompey collects their own
taxes. Please check with them.
Q. Can I pay my county taxes in
partial payments?
A. Yes, BUT there are rules! The
first payment must be made before
January 31 of the tax year. Each
payment must be one half (50%) of
the outstanding balance. Penalties
will be calculated on the outstanding
balance in February (1%) and March
(1.5% through 3/15, 1.5% + $1 after 3/15). I suggest calling me before making out your check during
the penalty phase of collection!
Q. Any tips to help taxpayers prepare for next year?
A. I would ask that you make sure
your mailing address is correct. Did
you recently build? Did you close
your post office box? Or open one?
I send the bill out the last week of
the year. You should receive your
bill by the end of the first week of
2006. (Whether you receive this bill
or not, the tax is due!!) I do my best
to research returned mail, but this
year I had 10 undelivered bills. So
check this year’s bill. Did it forward
to you? Did you have to call me to
get the amounts? If so, call my office with the correct address so we
are set before next tax season!
Q.When are you available at the
Town Hall?
A. During January, I am available
three times a week. This year I had
office hours one day, one evening
and Saturday mornings. In February
and March, I am available two days a
week. However, during the tax season I am there a lot more often than
those hours. Please feel free to call
and see if I’m there! While there are
no formal office hours from April
through December, I return calls
daily. Leave me a detailed message or
send me an e-mail and I will get back
to you with whatever you need.
I hope I have answered some of your
questions with this column. If not,
call or e-mail me.

Southern Onondaga Trash System (SOTS)
Important Information For Residents
The Towns of Pompey, Fabius, Tully & LaFayette formed a municipal trash district. This allows us to
have residential trash pick-up at rates much lower than private/individual rates. Non-residents must
set up service by calling Minnie Dancks at 315-683-5679
Choices for levels of service are as follows:
a. 1-32 Gal Trash container
b. 3-32 Gal Trash container
c. Unlimited– Trash containers (household trash only)
Each level has unlimited recycling. No container can weigh more than 75lbs.
Payment is due before service starts. After setting up service for first time, the charges will be billed on
your Town/County tax bill in January
Any changes must be made by August to appear on January tax bill. No refunds will be issued.
Any resident not choosing a level will be assigned the 3 container service
There is an option for Self-Service which means you will take your trash to OCCRA on your own.
It is important you speak with Minnie to set-up your service level. So it will appear correctly on your
tax bill.
Feher Rubbish Removal is the trash hauler. Contact them to report missed pick-ups, confirm pick-up
days, etc… Their number is 315-422-0715.

Legislator Dale Sweetland Recognizes Contribution of Emergency Communications Workers
I hope that all residents of our county are enjoyed a happy and healthy summer season. Onondaga County
has been busy providing for the needs of the community. I would like to highlight a few of these endeavors.
Steven Wisely, director of the center, is stepping down in the near future to pursue other career goals. A
new director of operations will not mean a new direction. The center will continue to provide the same service
continuously to the citizens and visitors of our county.
The dedication of employees to citizens in the direst of need, and the spontaneous nature of their duties
make for a highly stressful atmosphere for all who work at the center. Employees are not allowed the traditional lunch hour with the freedom to do what they chose and report back one hour later. Employees are
given short breaks to eat, and maximizing the effectiveness of these breaks on the often-stressed workforce is
essential to the delivery of services.
For the second year in a row the Wal-Mart Corporation has joined Onondaga County government in recognizing the dedication of these very special public employees. A $2,000 grant will help to increase the comforts available to workers who often have little relief from their stressful service to the public. I would like to
join those recognizing the dedication of those who work in our midst responding to our calls for emergency
assistance.
As Chairman of the County Legislature I am aware of the needs of our criminal justice system, and how
they are changing. I am very interested in the recent activities of a special committee to examine the overcrowding existence at the Justice Center. Keeping the public safe while making sound fiscal improvements
that will be cost effective is always my goal.
In order to address federal mandates and public concerns about preparedness in the face of a potential
worldwide epidemic, the Health Committee has been actively involved in implementing safeguards that will
protect and insure our safety should a threat become reality. Onondaga County has organized an alliance with
the surrounding counties for mutual aid that will provide a unified response in a health crisis. Most importantly, Onondaga County Commissioner of Health Dr. Cynthia Morrow is monitoring health events as they
occur, anywhere in the world, with an eye to their potential effect on Onondaga County. Dr. Morrow is an
experienced public health professional who is a leader in her field. We are lucky to have her as an advocate.
It was my pleasure to help to secure additional patrols by the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office for
Pompey. Supervisor Carole Marsh and the Town Board suggested the extra patrols to me. I think they are a
welcome addition. Now that summer has ended, I would enjoy feedback from residents on the effectiveness
of these additional services.
It is my pleasure to serve you as your representative on the County Legislature. If you should have any
questions about these issues, or other activities of county government, please do not hesitate to call me at: 6835828.

CONSTABLES
As a Town, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for all you do for
the residents of the Town of Pompey. While we go about our daily activities or
we are sleeping at night you are the protectors of our community. Many times we
take for granted the coverage that we have.
31st.
The Pompey Hill Fire Department went on 149 calls from January 1st until July
These calls consisted of 40 Fires, 25 car accidents and 51 medical and 24 misc. other incidents?
Delphi Falls Fire Department went on 79 calls from January 1st until July 31st. These calls consisted of
34 fires, 45 accidents and EMS calls.

The men and women of the State Police, Sheriff’s Department, our volunteer fire departments and our
town constables work tirelessly so that we may enjoy our life in the suburbia of Pompey.
Please support your local protectors, whose families also sacrifice so much, we salute these great men
and women that support our community so that we may go about our daily life.
If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a volunteer fire fighter, please have them contact
their local fire department. There are many ways to participate as a member.

Internet Access—What’s Available for us?
Open the newspaper in the morning; any morning. There on a full page ad is the declaration that for a small fee per month you can get
high speed internet access for your home or office. Also in very small print on the bottom of the page is the statement that angers much
of the Pompey area… “this service is not available in all areas.”
After repeated calls to the various high speed service providers, it has been noted that Pompey is in an area where:
1.
The phone lines are at the end one company’s line and the start of another. Therefore it would be cost prohibitive to setup DSL service for those customers unlucky enough to be located at the end.
2.
Cable service currently is available on most North-South roads, but if you live on a road that runs East-West and houses are few and
far between then there is little hope of getting the cable companies to run the necessary line for potential customers located on those
roads. ‘Always thought of Route 20 as a major thoroughfare,’ said a Pompey resident who recently obtained an estimate from a cable
company out of Syracuse included a $33,000 cost just to run the needed cable one-eighth of a mile to get connected. The estimate
did not include the monthly cost of service or the equipment setup. However, once that piece of cable was run, then anyone on that
stretch of road would be able to get the service for just the monthly cost.
3.
There is always the option of using satellite high speed. You thought that dial-up and cable were expensive? Per another resident,
“The minimum cost to get satellite internet service starts at $200 deposit for equipment and installation and carries a monthly cost of
$59.95 per month access fee along with other restrictions and rules for early termination.”
4.
Then there is the old fashioned method….D i a l-u p. Unless you are lucky enough to pay for two phone lines and can dedicate one
of them to internet access, then you are probably missing important phone calls. You also are experiencing long downloads and
sending any file of considerable size, takes forever.
It is time to wake up the internet access companies to our plight. Just because we live in the beautiful, serene settings of the Pompey
Hills, doesn’t mean we are a community without the need to stay in touch. Installing cable, Broadband or DSL access to the Pompey area
would be well worth their company’s time and money. We are looking for people willing to serve on an advisory board to discuss our
Town’s options and the availability of Internet Access for our Town of Pompey residents .
