A cherry tree became the social center Who would have guessed that a cherry tree could become the social center of the neighborhood? I'm beginning to think George Washington was smarter than anyone ever suspected. This year our tree was loaded with perfect, beautiful cherries. Since there were far more than we could ever use we told the neighbors to, “Help themselves.’’ The results of our offer was, to say the least, interesting. I was able to trade some cherries for sewing I needed done. We learned to identify neighbors by looking at the soles of their shoes. It’s amazing how a person’s voice changes as it is filtered through leaves and branches. We quickly learned who could climb a tree and who couldn’t. After a couple of days my husband just left the step ladder under the tree. We also discovered how startling it can be to be walking through the yard and have a voice or voices suddenly begin talking to you from above. Since we were giving away the cherries, one person insisted on paying for what they had picked by giving me a big kiss. If my husband was ever faced with this situation he isn’t telling. It gives one a warm feeling to know that next winter our neighbors will be enjoying cherry pie, jelly, cobbler, etc. all because our tree was blessed with an extra good crop. It was also nice to have a little extra visiting time with people, even though it was ground to air.

Firemen, EMS receive raises in 1980 budget
The final budgets were proposed to the Syracuse. Town Board and Turkey (Creek Township boards last"evening (Tuesday). Submitting the final budget was the Syracuse Fire and Emergency Medical Service Departments. As in other departments, both departments asked for raises. The increases originally sought were 10 per cent for the chief; 12 per cent for the first assistant chief; 15 per cent for the second assistant chief; 16.6 per cent for the captain and a 21 per cent increase for the secretarytreasurer. After a lengthy discussion the boards settled on a 10 per cent increase for all officers with the exception of the secretary- treasurer. In the past the secretarytreasurer of the fire department was paid $660 by the town and township. This amount was felt inadequate by the department so an extra S2OO was paid out of the slush fund to make up the difference. The boards decided to make up for what the department was paying him, which would total SBBO. The following salaries were set: Chief, $1,150; first assistant chief, $1,030; second assistant chief, $900; and captain, $990. The increase in pay for the four dispatcher’s will be to $7,942 per person, a 10 per cent increase. Also asked for was the vacation pay for the dispatchers and relief pay during that period. There are two dispatchers eligible for one week’s vacation at $165.46 per dispatcher and two eligable for two week’s vacation at $330.92 each. The dispatchers are eligable for one week’s paid vacation after a full year’s service and two weeks paid vacation after three years. A person replacing the vacationing dispatcher will receive $24 a day. Also requested as an appropriation for SI,OOO for one person to do special duties. Compensation for personnel on the EMS was set at $4.50 per hour on a call per person instead of the $5 asked. Other increases in pay included emergency calls, fire drills and meetings. Last year firemen were paid ss v so per man per call on an average estimation of 125 calls. This year the department asked for $7 per man per call but the boards cut it to $5.50. Both the drills and meetings were put back to $4 for 25 men for 18 drills and meetings per year. The same amount on drills and meetings for the EMS was allowed with the
