PUBLIC NOTICES
Nelsonville:
Due to the Memorial Day holiday, garbage and recyclables will be picked up in the Vil-lage of Nelsonville on Saturday, May 30th, 2009.
Cold Spring:
The Village Water Department will be conducting a hydrant flush of the distribution system beginning Sunday, May 31st, through Friday, June 5th, from 9pm through 4am each night. Residents will notice little water pressure during the hours of the flush and a  period of discoloration each morning, and are advised to run their cold water taps untilclear. On Monday, June 1st, between 8am and 2pm, commercial sprinkler systems will be flushed in various parts of the system and may also cause periods of discoloration. by Annie Chesnut It won’t be long. Moms and dads will be getting readyto go to work or begin their daily projects at home, and instead of grabbing a kiss, a lunch bag, a backpack, and  heading off to school, their  kids will be sleeping in or settling down on the sofa for a day of TV and complain-ing: “There’s nothing to do!”“I’m bored!”But don’t fret, parents, you still have options. Like every-thing else in our economy, thesummer camp business is ex- periencing some slowdowns,and that includes camps in our area. Yes, there are super- popular programs that alwaysfill up quickly, but you can still find something for your child to do this summer aslong as your budget allows.The
 PCN&R
spoke withsome area camps to see howthings are going. The unsci-entific sampling representsa handful of popular local programs.At the Garrison Art Centers (
www.garrisonart-center.org 
) Summer Art on the Hudson camp, there arestill some openings. GACExecutive Director Carinda Swann told us, “It’s slower than usual. We got out our advertising early this year,so the older group is expe- riencing a lot of enrollment, but, for younger kids, westill have space. We like toemphasize that, at only $200 per week, our program ischeaper than babysitting.”Their three-week program isfor children entering grades1 - 8, and runs from June 29to July 17, 2009, from 10am to 3pm, with a one-hour ex- hibition on July 17, from 3to 4pm.Manitoga (
www.russel-wrightcenter.org 
) offers fiveone-week sessions at its Sum- mer Nature and Design Camp.The season runs from Monday,July 6, through Friday, August 7, for children 5 to 12 yearsof age, who are divided intogroups according to age and grade level. Each day beginsat 9am and ends at 3pm. Campdirector Lori Moss explained that the camp is unique and  word about it usually getsout. With the first three weeksalready sold out, Moss added 
Philipstown Celebrates Memorial Day
 Heavenly Music in Historic Settings
 by Michael Turton The bars and restaurantsalong Cold Spring’s Main Street that are cashing in commercially on a growing regional appetite for live music have an unlikely part- ner in boosting the area’seconomic fortunes
 — 
the not-for-profit sector. Think Boscobel, think the Chapelof Our Lady Restoration,think The Depot Theatre.While these venues and theorganizations that run them  may not be in business for financial gain, their musical programs help attract visitorsto Philipstown, visitors whospend money.The non-profits’ combined  musical menu is eclectic, tosay the least. That menu fea-tures sounds that range from  big band to classical, from Broadway hits and jazz to thesounds of whales and newlyinvented instruments. Add that to Main Street’s folk- rock-blues leanings, and the melodic choices presented to residents and visitors alikego beyond wide-ranging.The settings in which the non-profits offer their per-formances are unquestion-ably some of the area’s most  beautiful, quaint, and historic places. They must stir at least a half-note of envy in their for-profit musical colleagues.The Chapel of Our LadyRestoration sits perched above the Hudson River,tucked in next to Cold Spring’s Metro-North sta-tion. Built in 1833 as theoriginal site of Our Lady of Loretto church, the Greek Revival building offers com- manding views of the river  below. But inside, the one- hundred-seat former chapel provides a unique kind of  musical intimacy. “The mu-sicians love it here” saysExecutive Director Barbara DeSilva. “They come from allover the world— and they call back. They want to come back to the Chapel,” she said. And the audience? “They comefrom all over, too,” DeSilva says. Concerts at the Chapelof Our Lady Restoration arefree and held on Sundays at 4pm. The New Amsterdam Singers Chamber Chorus will be featured on June 14.On August 16 pianist Andy La Verne and guitarist John Ab-ercrombie will perform jazzstandards as well as originalcompositions. Pianist Jason Cutmore will play selectionsfrom Albeniz, de Severac,and Schubert on September 20. DeSilva is also planninga “strings” summer musiccamp for children.Boscobel Restoration, lo-cated on Route 9D between Cold Spring and Garrison, is renowned as the home of theHudson Valley ShakespeareFestival, premier art exhibits,and what might be the most stunning of all the views of the Hudson River, but its musical performances arealso first-rate. A Sunset JazzSoiree will be held Thursday,September 17. Summer’s end  will be celebrated with a Big
PV School Board TalksAbout College Prep
 by Michael MellThe Putnam Valley Town Board met on May 20,2009,to face a twenty-five item agenda. Supervisor Tendy and the board worked expeditious-ly, however and the meetingadjourned in less than two hours. In his opening remarks,the Supervisor praised theVolunteer Ambulance Corpson receipt of the EMS Agencyof the Year Award. He alsocited the Town Fire Depart- ment for completion of FASTtraining. Completion of theFire Assistance Search Team training is a four-year processand they are now only one of two companies recognized in Putnam Valley.A representative of Ben- nett Kielson Storch DeSantis presented the highlights of the annual audit report. Thetown audit for the year ended December 31, 2008, “con-forms to accepted account-ing practices.” He noted that town revenues were down and expenses were up, but that an unused contingency fund  brought the overall balanceinto the black by $218,000. The result of this surplus is that the undesignated Town GeneralFund balance is slightly lessthan $700,000, falling within the range set by the NY state.Putnam County Legislator Sam Oliverio told the board that there would be a “lean  year coming.” Federal stimu-lus monies will “dry up by year’s end” and “sales tax revenues have been decreas-ing.” He said that the countyis looking at a tax increaseof two to five percent. To minimize the increase, Mr.

 by Annie Chesnut and Joe Lindsley Jr.Philipstown residents com- memorated those who havelaid down their lives for the nation during a MemorialDay parade that culminated in a ceremony at Cold SpringCemetery. The event featured an invocation by the pastor of Our Lady or Loretto, a  well-received and soberingspeech by Haldane alumnusCaptain Joseph Luchetta, and a 21-gun salute.Walking the parade routeon Monday morning, May25, 2009, was a little bit liketraveling through a full-scale museum exhibit on SmallTown America.

 by Eric GrossPutnam’s rate of unemploy- ment has declined to 6.1 per-cent, a drop of more than one-half percent from the 6.7 percent recorded in March, which was the highest in morethan two decades.The New York State Labor Department reported the Aprilstatistics last week, whichcame as no surprise to Putnam lawmakers.Despite the decline, Legis-lator Dan Birmingham, whochairs the legislature’s Eco- nomic Development Com- mittee, said, “job losses werefairly widespread,” which hecalled a “sad reflection of difficult economic times.”Birmingham said the coun-ty’s rate of unemployment  had risen substantially over the 3.7 percent recorded in April of 2008.According to the Labor De- partment the Lower Hudson Valley region has lost morethan 9,800 private sector jobsin the past 12 months, whilestatewide, more than half a  million jobs have been elimi- nated because of the strugglingeconomy.County Executive Rob-ert Bondi continued to ex- press hope last week that, with spring here and summer around the corner, jobs in thefields of hospitality, leisure,and construction will pick  up. Bondi, a former collegeeconomics professor, said some areas were seeing job-growth already: “Educationaland health services have added  jobs, primarily in the fields of social assistance and health-care.”
County UnemploymentRate Declines in April
 by Michael Turton There’s a very good chancethat you have experienced this. You walk out of your  house one Saturday morn-ing and look at the two cars parked in your driveway.It suddenly dawns on you that neither car has spent a single night in your garagein more than two years. You fling open the garage doors,confident that you can easily rectify the situation. You look at the mass of objects that greet you and say to yourself,“Wow! I have a real storage problem.”In fact you don’t have a storage problem at all. At least not compared to theone confronting the Putnam County Historical Societyand Foundry School Museum (PCHS&FSM).PCHS&FSM is the old-est non-profit organization in Putnam County. It wasestablished 103 years ago.With a mission “dedicated to collecting, preserving, and interpreting the history of Putnam County” it is hometo a collection of artifacts,documents, and other his-torically significant objectsthat is not only much moreextensive but also much moreimportant to the communitythan your formidable pileof tacky wedding gifts, old  bowling trophies, and that Commodore computer that  you were sure your kids would find really useful some day. Until recently PCHS&FSMdid not have a storage prob-lem at all. The Hudson Val-ley Hospital, which managed the old Butterfield Hospi-tal located just across thestreet from the museum’s63 Chestnut Street home in Cold Spring, had allowed the

 by Eric GrossTwo-term incumbent Sher-iff Donald Smith has received the backing of the Putnam County Republican Com- mittee to seek reelection in  November.The sheriff was nominated last Thursday night, May 21,2009, during the GOP con-vention in Mahopac, where200 delegates gathered to hear from the candidates prior to making their decision.Sheriff Smith was opposed  by former Southeast JudgeJames Borkowski and by re-tired NYPD Captain AndrewDeStefano of Patterson.Borkowski told the del-egates that the campaign of 2009 was “not about the past, but the future.” The candidatecalled the incumbent a “de-cent and spiritual man who has my respect. We are not talking about personalities.The issue is the Sheriff’sDepartment and an underlyingquestion: ‘Is the job beingcarried out vigorously?’”Borkowski promised to bea “proactive sheriff who willfight for the men and women of the Sheriff’s Department.We can’t be satisfied with thestatus quo. Putnam County ischanging. Crimes are chang-ing. Violent crime is on the rise. We must look to thefuture and move the Sheriff’sDepartment forward. It’s timefor change!”DeStefano described theRepublican Party as an “en-dangered species, becauseit lacks new ideas and newfaces. The GOP has lost con-trol of Washington as wellas Albany and if we are not careful, Putnam County may be next.” The challenger ad- mitted having a “deep respect for Donald Smith but the

Seasonal Delight on theCorner of Pine & Paulding
 by Catherine GarnseyMary Jane Smith’s Maxi-Rhodi is in bloom again on the corner of Pine and Pauld-ing to the delight of many residents. When asked if this was the largest and oldest  rhododendron in Cold Spring,Mrs. Smith replied, “I’m not sure” and then produced a  photo of her house taken in 1929, which shows the bushon the corner when it was very young, looking perhaps 4 feet tall. She then explained that the beautiful maxi-rhodi next door at the Junjulas housegrew from a shoot taken from this magnificent bush.Joe Etta, passing by in histruck with Ralph Landolfi at the time of the photo, stopped and remarked, “Oh yeah, I used to walk by this very same bush when I was going to theCatholic school many yearsago. I remember every day,I would bring the nuns, wholived in the convent down the street (the now aban-doned building in the cul desac) their lunch in bucketsthat was made in the schoolon Fair St.” Ralph Landolfiadded that he was also oneof the seniors (8th grade) at Our Lady of Loretto School who was chosen for this job.

orreCtion
In the article, “Zoning Section 165-B Stirs Debate in Putnam Valley,” in the May 20 edition, the minimum acreage for farms within an agricultural district was incorrectly described as 70acres. The correct size is seven acres. Also, regarding our descrip-tion of the amendment to Section 165-9 about the definition of a “non-conforming” use, the proposed amendment is intended to resolve any conflicts between overlapping districts, by makingthe definition consistent between them.
Last weekend turned out beautiful for the parade and the festivities inCold Spring and the surrounding areas. Coverage of Memorial Day overallis on pages 8 and 9. Coming this weekend is the Float Your Boat fam-ily event at the Garrison Art Center, and on June 4 is the Hudson High-lands Land Trust Musical Tot Trek--call ahead for reservations 424-3358.Special Birthday wishes to John Eaton, our local
