North Syracuse teachers oppose staff cuts in budget fight
North Syracuse teachers at the district meeting protested the elimination of 20 teaching positions in the 1987-88 plan while reluctantly endorsing a $49.6 million budget. Superintendent O Rourke said most cuts hit secondary schools and would not greatly raise class size, though junior high electives face loss.

Health officials puzzled by PCB findings in county parks
Officials report low PCB levels overall yet find the chemicals in the county parks. A state toxic substances expert notes background soil PCB levels around 2 parts per billion nationally, far below urban ranges, while Cornell researchers say urban areas show wide PCB variation. Some park samples suggest contamination not from the GM plant.

Lysander weighs end of landfill era as close date nears
With under four weeks until closing, Lysander officials oppose funding a new disposal site. Town Supervisor Milton Bilyeu says final day is May 30, and residents will face private haulers or self disposal options. A meeting at Lysander Town Hall on Thursday will decide if action is taken. The DEC ordered shutdown due to wetlands proximity and violations. Closure may cost about $500000 and seal the landfill with impermeable soil, avoiding groundwater risk.
