Another great Memorial Day parade was held in the Village of Fabius on 30 May. The weather was perfect for all of the viewers lining both sides of the street in remembrance of those military folks who have served their country and given their all for it. Because of them we have the freedoms we enjoy, and often take for granted today.

With just about all the parade participants throwing candy on the side, the children made out better than they do on Halloween! Fire departments from Fabius, Apulia, and Pompey were present as well as those “Red Longjohn” firefighters of yesteryear. Old (oldest car being 96 years) and new vehicles showed their stuff as well as the many old tractors being used to pull the various floats.

For more photos of the parade go to Flickr

Under sunny skies the Springside Farm Alpaca shearing festival was held 28 & 29 May. An event for the entire family you could watch Alpacas and sheep being shorn of their wool. The children could also pet the Akbash puppies. The Akbash make great watch dogs for the Alpacas and sheep.

Also at the event were numerous vendors and agencies. Fresh Herbs from Fabius Farm, Hoffman Farm Natural Beef, Onondaga Farm Bureau, wineries, soap makers, Plan Road Magazine (Connecting the Towns and People of Central NY), as well as the local 4H Club were present. Music was provided by Slippery Rock and Jerry Cali.

Check the Springside Farm website to find out when the Autumn shearing festival will be held.

The youth group at Fabius Christian church, grades 6th and up, will be going on a mission trip to Charleston, W. Virginia from July 3-July 8 this summer. We will be working with inner city children and doing home repairs for those who need it and can't afford professional help. We are doing various fundraising efforts throughout the spring and one of them is a can/bottle drive. There is a trailer located outside of the Fabius Christian church in the village where cans can be dropped off. Please look for the sign in front of the church.

Hello folks,

I hope you had a great Christmas. We wish you a very happy and productive New Year. We are starting our winter schedule of meetings which means we meet on Saturday at 1 pm for January, February, March and (this year) April also. We meet Saturday, January 8th and, this time only, in the Fabius Christian Church and not in the Community Center. Our speakers will be that crack team of historians Darothy DeAngelo and Sue Greenhagen. They combine historical accuracy with some great stories which they tell so well with the aid of PowerPoint slides. They have made a study of the Oakwood Cemetery in Syracuse and have some great stories to tell us about famous and infamous folks who reside beneath the sod. One story concerns a doctor who sold some of the bodies, for medical research of course. He ended up murdered and that crime was never solved. Come and join us. Maybe you will learn something about someone you once knew. Everyone is welcome. Come and meet and greet your friends. They have entitled their talk "Live Oaks and Dead Folks."

If you currently have a dog that is licensed in the Town of Fabius, your next renewal notice will come from the Fabius Town Clerk’s Office. Upon renewal, you will receive a new dog tag indicating that your dog lives in the Town of Fabius.

IF YOU HAVE A DOG THAT IS NOT LICENSED YOU COULD BE SUBJECT TO A FINE OF NOT LESS THAN $25.

Under Article 7 of the NYS Agriculture & Markets Law, Section 119, all dogs four months of age or older are to be licensed.

TAHS is still attempting to complete their collection so don't throw out any old copies until you have contacted Eleanor Preston, TAHS President, email: Eleanor@dreamscape.com (315) 696-4681.

It was a gorgeous day for Fabius' Memorial Day Parade. According to one spectator this was one of the best parades ever. The guest speaker was Onondaga County Executive Joanne Mahoney who gave a nicely done short speech thanking the men and women who gave their lives to preserve our freedoms.

The marching band from the Fabius-Pompey Junior and Senior High Schools performed magnificently. Floats from the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Time-To-Grow Daycare, along with the Fabius, Apulia, Pompey Hill, and Delphi Falls fire departments were represented. If any organizations were left out, email the webmaster and he will make sure your float or organization gets mentioned. If there is enough interest for a separate web for this parade please email the webmaster and send him your photos or ideas.

Every Memorial Day the Fabius Historical Society has a military exhibition in the Community Center. Pictures of Fabius residents in their uniforms and other military artifacts from Fabius residents who served. Anyone wishing to donate military items please contact Sandy Beglinger, President FHS at 315-683-5878.

Because of the increased interest in the FESC, the FESC has established a mailing list for those who wish to receive an email of upcoming meetings. You can sign up for the list here

A forum on the Discussion Board has also been set up. This is the place to post questions, comments or ideas. Please do not use the mailing list for this. If someone joins the mailing list 2 months from now, they will not know the information that was previously published on the mailing list.

A community meeting to discuss the grant received by the USDA will be held on 21 Jan 2010 starting at 7pm at the Community Center. Chris Carrick from NYSERDA will present a briefing on wind power.

The presentation can be download here This is a large file, approximately 27MB, so if you only have dial up it will take some time to download.

Studies of a potential community wind power project are starting, thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The project won a $99,000 grant through the Rural Business Enterprise Grant program. The money is supporting a feasibility study on possible sites for wind turbines, analysis of the wind resource and opportunities to form a local for-profit business to develop the project.

The Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board applied for the USDA grant on behalf of the Fabius Energy Steering Committee. The Fabius Energy Steering Committee has considered a number of renewable energy technologies that could support community economic development," said CNY RPDB Senior Energy Planner Chris Carrick. "The idea of a small wind power project of less than 10 MW that could be owned by local residents and generate income that stays in the community has a lot of support. This study will help the community determine how that might be done." he said.

The Fabius Energy Steering Committee has pursued options for a community renewable energy project for two years. The FESC, started by local area residents, wants to see locals benefit more from renewable energy power production, whether from wind power or other options. According to Scott Potter, a leding member of the FESC, this is an important step in achieving our goals.

The CNY RPDB and FESC will organize community meetings to help direct the feasibility study, which will be completed over the next year.
"We’re looking for a development team that represents different segments of Fabius," Mr. Potter said.

After a few community brainstorming sessions, the development team will have semimonthly meetings to work on the project. The development team will issue an RFP in early 2010 to hire a consultant to collect data and work on the feasibility study.

The first community meeting is tentatively schedule for either 14 or 21 Jan 2010 starting at 7pm at the Fabius Community Center. The public is encouraged to attend this important meeting.

The Fabius-Pompey Outreach is open on Thursdays from 4-6p.m. and is located in the lower level of the Pompey Hill Fire House.

Fabius-Pompey Outreach needs your help. Please let us know at 677-3590 of any other services in our Fabius-Pompey School District that we could provide.

Outreach began by providing food to families, now we provide food plus emergency help with heating, Phone A-Friend program, counseling, and referrals, partial nursery school scholarships for children who could not otherwise attend, holiday baskets for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and emergency financial help. A local family generously donates funds so that all children coming to the pantry can have a new pair of shoes for school. We have also provided boots and snowsuits.

Families in need of food or services can call 677-3590 any time. Our needs: Canned meats, cereal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, canned fruits and juices, spaghetti sauce, and paper products.

We're an ecumenical organization helping families in the F-P School District. We operate a food pantry in the lower level of the Pompey Hill Fire House which is accessible from Henneberry Road.
