We are 143 years old but new every Wednesday
 by Eric GrossEach year New York Stateloses $500 million in tax rev-enue as a result of employer fraud misclassification.Last week, representativesof the Empire State RegionalCouncil of Carpenters, met  with law enforcement of-ficials in Carmel to discusstax and insurance fraud be-ing perpetrated by many un-scrupulous contractors in the area.Ed Cooke, a Putnam resi-dent who serves as council representative to the car- penter’s union, charged that construction employers calltheir workers “independent contractors” to avoid taxes,insurance costs, and payrolldeductions. “They pay in lump sums and claim they will report workers’ annualearnings to the IRS on Form 1099. Payroll tax, federal tax, unemployment tax, New York State disability tax are not  paid by these unscrupulousindividuals, making it impos-sible for the rightful busi- nessman to compete, sincestandards are being lowered.Legitimate taxpayers and contractors are at a competi-tive disadvantage because of the theft and fraud.”Bill Banfield, another Putnam resident serving assenior council representativeof the carpenter’s union,explained the 1099 schemeallows companies to avoid

‘Old Revolutionary House’ Waits for Repairs
Honoring the Departed on Memorial Day
 by Joe Lindsley Jr.In the days when West Point cadets were not able to go home for holidays or take a  weekend of liberty in NewYork City, many found refugefrom their demanding routineon the windswept rock in the middle of the Hudson River, known as Constitution Island.Later on, cadets on battle-fields far away would fre-quently write letters to theisland’s former inhabitants,the Warner sisters, thankingthem for their hospitality and charity.Today, the island does not seem to hold the same fasci- nation for the cadets. Thoughit is no longer a central part of the West Point experience,it is still used from time totime. A behavioral sciencesclass recently took an excur-sion there for a final exam in  negotiation training. And this week many cadets will tour the place with their parentsduring graduation weekend.But unlike in past years,this year’s visitors will not  be able to enter the famed Warner house. The house, parts of which date to the1770s, is one of the oldest structures on West Point’scampus, and was the former  home of the bookish sisters known for their novels and songs, including
The Wide,Wide World 
and “Jesus LovesMe.” The army recently noti-fied the nonprofit Constitution Island Association, whichowns the furnishings in the by Michael MellThe Village of Cold SpringBoard of Trustees held a  public hearing on May 12,2009, to consider and hear  public comment for a pro- posed local law to restrict the use of outdoor furnaces.Following in the footstepsof Nelsonville, Philipstown,and other municipalities in the state, the proposed law would effectively prohibit  use of these devices within the village.Trustee Ralph Falloon told the board that last year, when fuel prices spiked, there wasan increase in applicationsfor outdoor furnaces. He said that the state “looked down”on these applications but “stopped short” of creat-ing legislation, leaving thedecision to individual com- munities. Trustee Lynn Miller asked how many furnaces were in operation in Cold Spring and Falloon replied,“Zero.” Trustee Gordon Robertson stated that thelaw should be enacted, but expressed concern that, as written, its intent might becircumvented. He suggested that the board should pass thelaw, but revisit it to close any potential loopholes. There was no public comment and the board unanimously voted in favor of the law.After a ten-minute break,the board began its regular  monthly meeting. VillageAccountant Ellen Mageean  presented the trustees witha statement of the previous month’s account. In addition,she submitted a resolution to reallocate funds to selected accounts that have exceeded their budgets. Brought tothe board’s attention at the previous monthly meeting,the resolution would providethe mechanism to transfer  by Michael MellThe Putnam Valley Town Board began its May 13,2009, workshop with a pub-lic hearing on five proposed local laws to amend selected sections of the zoning code.Each of the proposed lawsaddressed a very specificsection of code. Seeminglysimple and straightforward,they all elicited heated com- ments from the floor. Thetheme of these comments wasthat the town should addressall aspects of code revisionscomprehensively and not on an 
ad hoc
basis.Town Supervisor Bob Tendycited the need for these spe-cific remedies at this timeto allow the proper function of the zoning board and theTown. Dawn Powell stated that the proposed local laws were a piecemeal approachto what should be a compre- hensive effort.The first law proposesamendment to Section 165-6 B (1), adoption of a digitalzoning map for the Town.Ms. Powell asked why a new map should be adopted when “changes are in the works?”“Some of the changes,” sheadded, “don’t conform to theComprehensive Special Plan.”Councilman Eugene Yetter  replied that, “As a practical matter, the Town needs to update the zoning map to reflect current conditions,even if changes may occur later.” Board member Priscilla Keresey commented that the“digital format will allowfaster and easier changes.”Amendment of Section 165-44 addresses rebuilding of  non-conforming structures without variances or other typically required documenta-tion. The proposed sub-section  provides specific criteria for  rebuilding a non-conforming

Zoning Section 165-B StirsDebate in Putnam Valley
 by Eric GrossPutnam County ExecutiveRobert Bondi, a former eco- nomics professor on the uni-versity level, calls Chrysler’sdecision to eliminate 789 of its 3,200 dealerships acrossthe U.S. a poor one.The executive’s remarks were made last week after Bondi was contacted by the
 PCN&R
seeking comment,since one of the 28 dealer-ships in New York State re-ceiving the axe was located in Putnam County.Smith-Cairns Motors on Route 22 in Southeast, an agency selling Jeep vehicles,found itself on the chopping block along with a dealer-ship in northern Westchester,and four dealers in DutchessCounty.Dwight McGuirk, the owner of Smith-Cairns, said the an- nouncement from Chrysler  was not a major setback, since his company also sells Subaru vehicles from the same loca-tion. “I feel awful for smallguys who relied solely on one brand of vehicle. I can’t  understand how this will helpChrysler. It’s just going to put a lot of people out of  work while destroying the real estate market in smallcommunities across the U.S.”Chrysler will not buy back inventory from those dealer-ships slated for closure, but McGuirk said he kept his Jeepinventory low in anticipation 
 Pictured above are the gravestones of the Roebling family, including that of Washington A. Roebling, designer and builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, at the Cold Spring Cemetery. The cemetery, located on Peekskill Road, includes a number of historic graves, including that of Brigadier General John Campbell, who served as an Army surgeon during the MexicanWar under General Winfield Scott. He also participated in the Civil War and in a number of Indian campaigns. See page8 for a tour of the cemetery in honor of Memorial Day.

A Little Paving Comes to Post Road
 by Michael Turton Old Albany Post Road is picturesque, quaint, and very historic. In fact, it is a nationaltreasure that is older than the nation itself. It is also narrow, winding, rough, and prone tosevere erosion, particularly in the section near ContinentalVillage. And now a portion of it will be paved.Residents, Philipstown of-ficials, and representativesof the Old Roads Society have disagreed for years over  whether a small part of the road should be paved to pre-vent the washouts that occur after any significant rainfall.Philipstown Deputy Supervi-sor Richard Shea indicated to the
 PCN&R
that at a site meeting held on Monday, May11, the parties agreed that a small section of the road  will be paved. At stake is$135,000 in federal grants, monies which can only be used if the parties agree on a solu-tion. The Old Roads Society had previously opposed any paving of the road.The Town of Philipstown  has been trying to balance itsobligation to ensure publicsafety and environmental qual-ity along town roads with thedesire to preserve an impor-tant part of the area’s history.Severe erosion has destroyed driveways, caused thousandsof dollars in property damage,and, on occasion, left some residents with no access totheir property.

Joe Fulton (pictured left)and Felippe Perez (right), workers for Royal CartingService, Co. were observed delivering large green trashcontainers on wheels to homesin Nelsonville this past Sat- urday morning. When inter-viewed, Mr. Fulton explained that these containers are to be used in place of any garbagecans that the residents now have. “It really adds to theaesthetics of the village”, hesaid, “instead of having all kinds of garbage cans and  boxes on the streets, noweveryone has a nice new, neat and clean container for all of their trash”. Mr. Perezadded that inside each of thecontainers is a new green  recycling bin and that Nel-sonville Residents will be on the same two week cycle of  pick-ups – recyclable paper one week – recyclable bottlesand cans the next. —Catherine Garnsey

The board of The Chapel of Our Lady Restoration is proud to announce the opening of theChancery, the just-completed support building, at its an- nual benefit lawn party on Saturday, June 13, from 5 to7pm. An exhibit on the lifeof this treasured landmark, with rarely seen photographsand other material from thearchives, will be on view.A cherished ecumenical sitefor events, especially wed-dings, a popular music series,and other cultural activities,the chapel will make rest- rooms, a changing room, and  meeting and archival spaceavailable for the first time.“The foremost objective was to provide basic amenities while altering the setting aslittle as possible,” said Peter Smith, architect of the Chan-cery. His design, respondingto cut stone foundation walls,the remains of a mid-19thcentury addition destroyed  by fire in 1927, “makes it visually part of the landscapeand thus does not compete with nor intrude upon viewsof the chapel, nor does it sty-listically mimic the chapel, whose significance lies in itssingular authenticity,” Mr.Smith said. A garden roof and small courtyard further integrate the building.It is “one of the most beau-tiful, perfectly proportioned contemporary buildings on the Hudson, or anywhereelse,” said local resident JoeChapman, a retired architect.An Empire State Devel-opment Corporation grant,sponsored by then Governor George Pataki, provided fund-ing for construction, along with private contributions.The New York State Councilon the Arts, in recognition of design excellence, funded thearchitectural phase. Mayor Anthony Phillips, CountyLegislator Vincent Tamagna,and State Senator Vincent Leibell were instrumentalalong the way.The volunteer board of the nonprofit The Chapel of Our Lady Restoration, Inc.,oversees maintenance of the building and grounds, a major  responsibility given landmark status, raises funds for ongo-ing operations, schedules and coordinates all events, and  produces the music series,free to the public.

Angel in the Wings: AnotherView of Constitution Island
 Part One of Three
Warner sisters, Susan and Anna, had fallen on monetarilydifficult times shortly after hav-ing moved from New York Cityto their new island home. Con-stitution Island, just below thesouth shore of the secluded  hamlet of Cold Spring, in Putnam County, New York, had  been purchased, in 1836, bytheir father, Henry Warner.Widower Warner was a promi- nently respected attorney, whoat the time wanted to situate in a summer home in the lower Hudson Valley region. ThomasWarner, a brother of Henry, wasa chaplain and professor of geography, ethics, and hisstoryat the military academy at West Point, New York. He informed  his brother that Constitution Island, directly across theHudson River from the acad-emy, was awaiting a buyer.Some while later Henry bought the rocky, though fertile-soiled island. Cruel intervention, how-ever, of a nasty “market panic”in 1837 harshly subjected theWarner family to greatlystrained monetary circum-stances.Having quickly become women; reared so of dire ne-cessity, Anna and Susan set out tending their wildly untamed  property: feeding cows, pigs and chickens, chopping and stack-ing uncountable cords of fire- wood, lugging daily buckets of  water to their house from eter- nal springs punctuating theforested parcel, planting and  maintaining vegetable and flower gardens, making and  repairing clothes, cooking, and  keeping house. Daily drudgeryof living off the land for sev-eral years was proving a physi-cal challenge to the small,though sturdily charactered family. While their own veg-etables, milk, eggs, water, and livestock were contributing wellto the dietary efficiency of thethree novice settlers, there re- mained the nagging reality of life’s other amenities being fis-cally difficult t come by. Present conditions were running far astray from the chauffeured, plenteous life that permeated their environment back in Man- hattan.As if triggered by the stark crudeness of country living, while in desperate urgency to rise above the abyss of poverty,Susan and Anna would turn serious attention to nurturingtheir childhood love and talent toward writing books and com- posing music. Success appeared quite quickly from the outset of their endeavors; attesting tothe extraordinary reservoir of talent that flowed profuselythrough their being a first rateteam, Anna and Susan had writ-ten 106 books between them,I8 of which were co-authored. Narratives concerning travel,gardening, and melodrama among a host of other engag-ing titles throughout their most  productive years. “Jesus LovesMe,” sung to this very day from faded, careworn hymnals, tes-tifies to the staying power of Anna’s faculty as a lyricist. Thisendearing, enduring hymn  would alone propel her to a famethat to this moment continuesawarding tribute to her memory.
Margaret Pacor
Margaret M. Pacor, age 91,of Cold Spring, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, May 13, 2009,surrounded by her family.Born June 1, 1917 in Brook-lyn NY, she was the daughter of the late Gottlob and Louise(Wolter) Haring.Mrs. Pacor, a homemaker and devoted mother, was a parish-ioner of Our Lady of LorettoChurch in Cold Spring.She is survived by five chil-dren; Janice DiNatale of Cold Spring, Victor Pacor of Suffern, NY, Michael Pacor of West Chester, PA, Joseph Pacor of Wrentham, MA, and Regina Pacor of Melrose, MA, and six-teen grandchildren.A Mass of Christian Burial was held at 10am on Tuesday,May 19, at Our Lady of LorettoChurch, Cold Spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be madein Mrs. Pacor’s name to Hos- pice Care of Westchester and Putnam, 540 White Plains Road,Suite 300, Tarrytown, NY10591-5132, or Graymoor Spiritual Life Center, PO Box300, Garrison, NY 10524-0300.
March Calls Attention toDomestic Violence Issue
Please join People Against Domestic Violence (PADV)at 3pm on Saturday, June 6,at St. Mary’s, Cold Spring,for a march to the gazebo led  by Cold Spring Fire Depart- ment Pipes & Drums and ac-companied by the Knights of Columnbus against Domes-tic Violence. The march will begin at 3pm with the cer-emonies continuing until5pm. It is the goal of thePADV to increase awareness,inspire hope, and educate people about options.There will be inspirational speak-ers, music from MotherLodein support of the occasion,and an “Art Against Abuse”exhibit. Listen to the pow-erful messages shared bysurvivors of domestic vio-lence, and awareness advo-cates.It’s hard to believe that  until the 1970’s, domesticviolence was not considered a crime. However, despite better laws and more visibil-ity, the statistics are shock-ing. According to PADV, onein 3 women are physicallyassaulted by a partner at least once during adulthood, 55 percent of all female homi-cide victims are killed bytheir partner, and 50 percent of abusers also abuse their children. It is time to stopthe violence.For additional information about the event, contact An-drea Hoag at 845-628-9284and for more information about domestic violence visit 
www.opv.state.ny.us.
People Against DomesticViolence was established in 1982 under the sponsorshipof Congressman Hamilton Fish Jr., to improve commu- nity awareness and responseto domestic violence. Partiesinvolved in PADV includethe Putnam County Depart- ment of Health, local/county/ state law enforcement agen-cies, Putnam District Attorney’s Office, Putnam County Probation, Putnam- Northern Westchester Women’s Center & Men’sWorkshops, Putnam CountyDepartment of Social Ser-vices, survivors and other community members. To-gether these concerned in-dividuals work together to provide community outreachand education to end thecycle of domestic violence.Help break the silence sur- rounding domestic violence by bringing your family and friends to this march.
