Intrepid Daily Freeman reporter Tania Barricklo in Shokan filed this thorough report about how Shandaken fared during Sandy yesterday. Freeman editor Ivan Lajara posted it to the Freeman's live Sandy blog, and you can watch it above.
Barricklo interviewd Tom Tar, the actiing general manager of Belleayre Mountain Ski Center, which is operating an emergency shelter. Tar told Barricklo that Belleayre will be open until Shandaken Town Supervisor Rob Stanley tells them they are no longer needed:
"We're going to stay available until we hear from the supervisor," Tar says in the video.
Barricklo also visited damaged sites around Shandaken, including a site of downed electrical wires at Winchell's Corners in Olive that closed Rte. 28 to traffic until yesterday afternoon. (Rte. 28 at Winchell's Corners is now re-open.) Barricklo also visited the Pine Hill wastewater treatment plant, which had a large downed tree smash part of its fence.
