 and Jesse Halliburton which noted that they were not pursuing their variance request for the creation of a café with alcohol service in one of their buildings “at this time.”
“We’re here for everyone to get it out of their systems,” Mendoza added as she opened the public rehearing to two lists, one of contiguous neighbors and the second for “others.”

Chris Wanker, whose home abuts the building where a café/bar had been proposed, called for the issuance of stop work orders based on problems he saw with the Woodstock Way’s adherence to wetlands and waterways permits. His attorney suggested that any construction started towards a café/bar use should be removed.
Mark Antman, who helped put together an ad hoc committee in opposition to Woodstock Way’s recent changes, read a statement: “Our stand hasn’t changed from what was specifically agreed upon in 2016…Any consideration about a restaurant, a café, selling alcohol, a bar or using the location for events, conferences or catered affairs requires going back to the beginning and a new permission process would have to be undertaken,” he read from prepared notes.
He added his surprise at the level of support and conviction the town had shown his group on the issues, pointing out both how, “to live in a town where our shared heritage and values and pride in our town results in a commitment to protect it,” as well as the ironies involved in the way Woodstock Way’s developers are using “exactly these values” to publicize their business.
Terry Funk-Antman said the town should form a commission of some sort to look into the issues raised by the bar request and other effects of Woodstock’s “boom town” atmosphere of development.
Aileen McNally questioned the intensification of use at Woodstock Way, hinting at possible legal actions, as well as the bar/café materials she believes the developers have on site, regardless of their abandonment of recent plans.
Kristen Eberhard spoke about the number of variances such developments take to work their way into existence, and matters of precedence moving forward.
Former town supervisor Jeff Moran talked about his sense that “Woodstock is not a town that wants to grow…that’s the secret of our success.” He also warned the ZBA about starting to hand out use variances the way it’s been granting area variance, calling such things “a slippery slope.”
Olivia “Tinker” Twine brought up the fact that the developer’s attorney Ron Pordy had trained the zoning board, calling such things “swampy” and something the town board should address.
The board then voted, without discussion, to pass all the Woodstock Way area variances involving parking spaces and other setbacks where things were inched several feet closer to the property’s edges.
“This case is now closed,” Mendoza said.
Approval at wine bar and bagel shop
In similar fashion, earlier decisions okaying variances for higher-than-usual fences and a larger-than-okayed deck at the new wine bar and bagel shop being developed by Doug Ballinger were approved, without discussion. As were several other pending cases.
That of Paul Fleischmanns, for a revived store, restaurant and apartments on the site of the old Lake Hill store at the corner of Route 212 and Mink Hollow Road, was tabled… again without discussion, and just a unanimous vote.
After the meeting, Halliburton and Giuliani were asked what their plans were, next. Halliburton turned away and Giuliani said, “We have a hotel to open.”
He added that they were planning to have at least the first half of Woodstock Way up and running by Labor Day.I'm going to try the jumping BMUs! That's great advice.

We are the same weight, that is cool! I bet you crush it at powerlifting and olympic lifting! I think for me it's the long arms and long legs that make it more mechanically difficult to do some of the movements. Mechanically I have to move further than someone with shorter arms. The weight loss has helped, less weight I have to pull up and I'm making a breakthrough on the HSPUs. Haven't lost any strength really because my PRs keep going up. I still lift the same as I did when I was 225-230. I used to think bigger was better for lifting but no always. I'm surprising good at the powerlifting and olympic stuff excluding deadlift. long legs make deadlift really difficult.Ms. Beasley has been teaching Elementary since 2002. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from Dallas Baptist University in Elementary Education and recently completed her Masters Degree from the University of Texas in Arlington in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Literacy.
She loves helping children learn to love school and become lifelong learners. “I want all of my students to feel accepted and know that when they come to school, they are in a safe place and they are cared for.” She encourages each child to find their voice and be a leader in some way.
Ms. Beasley teaches using a workshop model where students participate in small group lessons, and then move into stations where they practice the skills they are learning. During stations, she has parents come in to volunteer in the classroom and help around the room with a station or work with a small group of students on something they need to practice. She loves using lots of STEM activities in the classroom. Her goal is for students to participate in a STEM activity each week and she is able to do this with parent help.
Ms. Beasley has two daughters whom attend school in NSD.Out of those shoes I only like the De La Souls, all those other ones I just think the elephant print makes them ugly.Maybe it's because I became a sneakerhead fairly recently, so a shoe being a classic doesn't really mean anything to me. There isn't any emotion/nostalgia/childhood memories attached to any specific colourway or design for me, I just go by what I like now as an adult. 

On the flipside, I think the Bloodline Jordan 1s are beautiful and a top 5 Jordan 1 of all time, and they're basically bargain bin shoes selling for under retail on StockX cause nobody likes them. I guess I just have to get used to my tastes not always aligning with the sneakerhead community in general.By Tere Scott
