After demolishing the former restaurant, redevelopment was delayed for "longer than we hoped," Woodbine Chief Operating Officer Tom Fernandez told 水果派AV recently. But as of this week the work has resumed, with construction vehicles, dumpsters and new plastic sheeting visible outside the former bowling alley. Fernandez attributed the delays to the emergence of "additional engineering needs."

"It took a lot to make sure we could retain that building and reutilize it," he said. "It's a spectacular building."

Fernandez said Woodbine's redevelopment plan remains mostly the same as it was when he revealed it to 水果派AV in late 2021. The alley will be split in half, with one continuing to have bowling lanes and the other having games like foosball, ping pong and shuffleboard. The restaurant will have seating for about 100 and a bar, with its menu featuring "funky takes on a diner menu" in a nod to the Hilltop. And a second floor will be added to the building with 20 to 25 efficiency hotel rooms for extended or one-night stays. The facade of the new floor will mimic those of the village of Skaneateles.

Woodbine hopes to begin principal construction soon, Fernandez said.

DOCCS said that Paoff was "subjected to an Office of Special Investigations K9 search and subsequent physical search" at the prison.

He was charged with official misconduct, bribe receiving, and second-degree promoting prison contraband, with additional charges possible.

DOCCS said that Paoff submitted his resignation effective Thursday, Jan. 11, and is suspended without pay until that time.

He has led the district since July 2015 and will have been with Auburn for 19 years upon his retirement, the release noted. He was an assistant principal and assistant superintendent for personnel before he became superintendent.聽

鈥淚t has been my privilege serving the students, staff, parents and community in Auburn,鈥� Pirozzolo said. 鈥淚 have lived in Auburn for eight years and I plan on living here for many more years because this is a wonderful community and a great place to raise your family.鈥�

The school board is appointing Dr. Brian Hartwell, the Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES district superintendent, to facilitate the search for Pirozzolo's successor. Hartwell said the application period is anticipated to start mid-February, the release continued, with candidate interviews by spring.

Community members can participate in the superintendent search via an online survey at . That survey, open through Jan. 28, seeks input on the qualifications and desired characteristics of candidates. The survey also asks for opinions on the district鈥檚 immediate needs and recent achievements. The survey will give the board important feedback when completing a brochure to advertise the superintendent search, the release said.

Pirozzolo said in the release that he intends to stay on the community boards he has worked with during his time leading the district.

鈥淚 have met so many great people in Auburn, and I know this school district will continue to do great things," he said. "I will always be available if there is a need to support the Auburn Enlarged City School District in the future.鈥�

Tarby's attorney, Michael Spano, said in court that restitution totaling $10,873 will be paid to the town soon. If Tarby pays restitution before his sentencing on April 18, he will receive a conditional discharge.聽

An investigation began not long after Tarby left office. Throop Supervisor Eric Ridley, who defeated Tarby in the 2019 election, notified state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's office about the misuse of town funds during Tarby's tenure as supervisor.聽

Tarby served eight terms as Throop supervisor. He was first elected in 2003.聽

According to the comptroller's office, an audit found that Tarby pocketed town funds over a three-year period, from 2017 through 2019. He withdrew money from the town's bank accounts and took cash back on checks written to the town. He also kept money that was paid to the town for equipment sales, fines and scrap metal.聽

"William Tarby exploited his position with the town to pay off personal debts and make home improvements," DiNapoli said in a statement. "Thanks to the work of my office, his crimes were uncovered, and he is being held accountable."聽

The case was prosecuted by the state attorney general's office. New York Attorney General Letitia James said Tarby "stole from the people he was elected to serve, and today we are making him pay."聽

Because Tarby was the supervisor, he controlled the town's finances and concealed his crimes from the town board. State officials said he was the only employee with control of certain town accounts and the lone employee who made withdrawals.聽

Ridley told 水果派AV that the town of Throop has adopted new policies for the handling of funds. While he is pleased Tarby is being held accountable for his actions, he added that he doesn't think it "fully captures how egregious it was."聽

"He took advantage of a lot of people and it's sad that it happened," Ridley said. "We've taken every step that we possibly can to ensure that it can't happen again here."聽
