 by Stephanie M. Grossman Sam Bei, owner of Hudson House in Cold Spring, admits he can’t fry an egg. But helearned the rules of good food and warm hospitality while growing up, through his parents’ involvement in the restaurant business.Mr. Bei took a rather cir-cuitous route to becominga restaurateur. He has led quite a life. His interesting history gives him status asa Korean War veteran and a former major league baseball player.Mr. Bei was recruited right out of high school to playshortstop for the St. LouisCardinals. While serving in Korea, though, he suffered injuries that ended his base- ball career. This prompted  him to attend the Universityof Scranton in his home stateof Pennsylvania, where he received a degree in finance.He was hired by IBM as a financial manager, and that’s how he came to live and  work in the Hudson Valley.After a number of years at IBM, and allured by entrepre- neurship, he decided it wastime to try working for him-self. Using his own money, by Catherine Garnsey with Lillian Moser Though the cannons of West Point can sometimes be heard echoing throughthe streets and lanes of Cold Spring, the village is not accustomed to the soundsof drill sergeants barkingorders and troops chanting asthey march in formation. But last week, shopkeepers werecompelled to step out of their doors and passersby paused as 50 Philipstown students marched on Main chanting,“Everywhere we go…People wanna’ know…Who we are..So we tell ‘em…Cold SpringFire…Junior Academy!”The group of fourth througheighth graders was paradingthrough the village as part of the weeklong camp, during which firefighters, EMTs,and paramedics trained the youngsters in fire cause and  prevention, fire safety, fire-fighting equipment, CPR and first aid, the importance of teamwork, physical fitness,and marching.The Junior Fire Academy was founded seven years ago by Dan Valentine, former chief of the Cold Spring FireCompany and currently a po-lice officer for the Town of Greenburgh.“I started this academy be-cause I think it is important for children to understand exactly what a fireman does,and, of course, to learn moreabout fire safety than we can  possibly teach at just oneschool assembly during FireSafety Week,” Valentine said. by Michael MellThe Cold Spring HistoricDistrict Review Board held its monthly meeting on July 29,2009. On the agenda were a  public hearing for an addition to a house on High Street and a  workshop for a house on Rock Street. While public hearingsand workshops are core tasks performed by the review board,village residents will not haveany official interaction withthe board unless they reside in the historic district, and then only if they wish to modify theexterior of their home.The historic district was es-tablished in 1976 to protect the“unique architectural, historic,and scenic qualities” of Cold Spring. This legislation wasadopted as Chapter 64 of thevillage code and included, asa mechanism for enforcement,the Historic District ReviewBoard. The review board iscomposed of five membersappointed by the mayor and trustees. Their task is to review proposed changes to build-ings in the district and deter- mine appropriateness of thosechanges. The board’s guide to by Michael Turton  with Anna LedwithMost people like animals— at least dogs or cats, if not  both. But to simply say that Paula Young likes animalsdoesn’t quite cut it. Youngoperates an animal rescuefacility just outside of Cold Spring. She takes in injured or sick animals, cares for them until they are back in good health, and then releasesthem back to their natural sur- roundings. She specializes in  raccoons—and skunks.This is not a recent or ca-sual pastime for Young. “I’vecared for animals my entirelife…since I was 4 and picked  up a baby bird and took it  home to my mom, telling her it followed me home,”she explained. “My father’s job forced us to move allthe time. For a child it waslonely because I didn’t haveany friends. We would moveso much that it wouldn’t give me time to make friends,so I spent my time with theanimals.”In her early years Younggot to see animals in a waythat is not exactly common for most children—or adults,for that matter. She often camped with her dad, who was busy exploring the world’s jungles in search of oil. “I would wander alone and meet all the critters in the world.How cool is that?” she asks.And while raccoons and skunks have often been the recipients of her tender lov-ing care, Young also speaks highly of other critters she has helped out along the way.“Bats are so wonderful; theyare like magic ancient crea-tures,” she commented. “And coyotes, for their indepen-dence, foxes for their clever- ness,” before adding, “And lots of lizards and snakes, who, believe it or not, arevery relieved and, in their own way, grateful when they receive assistance.” Young has also tended to chickens rescued from illegal fightingoperations.Young says that she never turns away an animal that issuffering, but if it is a spe-cies she is not completelyfamiliar with she stabilizesthe animal and then farms it out to other volunteers withthe right expertise.She is not big on bureau-cracy. Her facility near LakeSurprise doesn’t even havea formal name. “If I were tocall this little hill anything,it would be ‘
 Nature More
,’”Young explained, adding that  by Michael Turton The Philipstown Town Board workshop held on Thursday, July 30, 2009, was brief but covered a range of issues from garbage pickupand traffic lights to the MTA mobility tax and improve- ments to Old Albany Post Road.Garrison resident JackieGrant appeared before theTown Board to begin a dis-cussion that she hopes willeventually provide a wayfor residents to reduce their carbon footprint while also reducing the amount of moneythey spend on garbage dis- posal. Grant estimates that she spends roughly $600 a  year to have garbage picked  up by a private company.Municipal collection of re-fuse is not provided outsidePhilipstown’s two villages.Grant pointed to the Town of Kent, which has a system she would like to see emulated in Philipstown. There, a garbagetruck is simply parked at thelandfill, enabling residents todispose of gar- bage for a feeof three dollars per bag. “If Ican get down toone or two bagsof garbage a  week, I’d be do-ing a good job,”Grant said. At two bags of trasha week Grant calculated that she would realize a savings of about fifty percent under sucha system. She would like tosee Philipstown implement thesame program at its recyclingcenter. Town Supervisor BillMazzuca called it “a very good suggestion,” and encouraged Grant to get more information about the full cost of Kent’s program. The matter will bediscussed again at the Town Board’s September meeting.It will also be on the agenda at an October  workshop be-ing organized  by the Hud-son HighlandsLand Trust. The workshop willfocus on ideasdesigned to help homeown-ers reduce their “carbon footprint.”While progress continuestowards installation of a stop-light at the corner of FishkillRoad and Route 9, the newtraffic signal will not be op-erational by the start of theschool year as residents, Town officials, and Haldane CentralSchool District officials had  hoped. Bill Mazzuca reported that Putnam Deputy CountyExecutive John Tully indi-cated in a recent conversation that the County plans to goahead with the project. NewYork State has approved thetraffic light, however, if theState Department of High- ways does the installation, it could take up to three yearsto complete. Tully said that the county hopes to have thelong-awaited light up and run- ning by Thanksgiving at thelatest. Route 9 near FishkillRoad has been the scene of  numerous serious traffic ac-cidents in recent years. Lo-cal officials have been veryvocal about their concernsthat the recent realignment of the intersection has made

Hearty Menu, Rich History,and a View at Hudson House
Cheaper by the Bagful
 by Michael MellOn July 28, 2009, the Cold Spring Village Board held a discussion about quality of life issues, specifically for those residents living on lower Main Street. The meeting was primarily attended by residents of the new housing(at the former lumberyard) but also included longtime residents John Dunn, AnneImpellizzeri, and Don Lusk.Former resident Margaret Vetare, who has since moved elsewhere in the village, was not present, but her letter framed the discussion. Theletter states that she hasseen “a serious decline in  my quality of life” and that the problems “boil down toone concept: pollution.”Ms. Vetare’s letter divided  pollution into two broad cat-egories: noise and air pollu-tion. Noise pollution issues,for her, included loud musicfrom cars, residences, pass-ersby, and Hudson House; barking dogs; loud kids at the bandstand (before and after park closing); motor-cycles; and early morningtrash pickup at Hudson House.Air pollution sources that sheidentified included deliverytrucks, motorists who let their cars idle, noxious smells from trash burning, and the Hudson House dumpster.Many of the residentsseemed nonplussed when Mayor Gallagher opened thefloor for public comment, astheir prepared agenda had  been mostly addressed by Ms.Vetare’s concise summation.It took a moment to reframetheir discussion. Additionalissues were raised related todriving, including speedingand disregard for stop signs.The mayor mentioned that driving issues have arisen,as well, in other areas of thevillage. Speed bumps weresuggested, but the sheriff hasinformed the village that theseare not permissible on public roads. The possibility of newsignage was raised, but the unspoken sense of the room  was that this would not beespecially effective.Discussion then turned to young people hanging out at the bandstand, some of whom contribute to a number of theissues under discussion. In  response to one comment,Gallagher cautiously offered that selected areas could beconsidered for video surveil-lance, but did not seem keen on the idea.Cold Spring Police Offi-cer Gary Marino, sitting in for Officer Kane, told the board that the kids “know thedrill,” and will leave when hearrives. One resident asked  whether closing time for the park could be at 10pm (instead of 11pm) and another sug-gested “dawn to dusk” hourssimilar to parks in New York City. These received noddingacceptance from the board.A few residents indicated

As part of its plan to ren-ovate the currently closed Warner House, West Point, which owns Constitution Island, plans to pave the dirt  road leading to the 18th cen-tury farmhouse, the
PCN&R
  has learned.According to Richard deKoster, executive director of the Constitution Island Association, the West Point garrison plans to complete the paving of the historic track  by this Friday, August 7.Preservationists are upset  with the decision go withasphalt. In lieu of paving,Mr. de Koster said that theAssociation’s architect, Ste- phen Tilly, had recommended that the road be covered withcrushed shale or a special ma-terial called “StoneyCrete,” which would maintain the historic feel of the road whileaddressing various modern  worries, including drainageand emergency access. No-tably, as visitors generallycannot drive automobilesonto the island, there is littlevehicular traffic.Walking the grounds of the Warner House can be a  magical experience for manyvisitors. At many places on the island, there are no signsof modernity, and one can  witness the same view seen  by the likes of George Wash-ington, Continental Armysoldiers, and the famed War- ner sisters, who lived in the“Old Revolutionary” housein the 19th century.When reached at press time,Col. Daniel Bruno, West Point Garrison commander, ex- pressed his great love and concern for the Warner Houseand Constitution Island, but said the decision to go with blacktop relates to issuesinvolving fire truck access,snow-plowing, and costs.

Citizens Urge Philipstown to AllowVoting at North Highlands Fire House
 Hans Moeller (seated) collects signatures on Thursday, July 30, for the petition protesting the decision to move voting from North Highlands Fire Department to the Methodist churchin Cold Spring. According to Mr. Moeller, 77 citizens have signed the petition to-date. He hopes to collect 150 signatures by Thursday, when the petition will be presented tothe Philipstown board. Those interested in signing may reach Mr. Moeller at 265-3340.
Putnam’s Legislature Chair- man Tony Hay values thegoodness and generosity of the public who often expresstheir satisfaction with govern- ment by providing elected officials with small tokensof appreciation.Yet, Hay, who representsconstituents in the greater Southeast-Brewster area, hascalled such trinkets totally unnecessary.Lawmakers recently re-ceived a small gift from POW’R Against Tobacco—a tiny starfish contained in a  blue velvet bag—to show itsappreciation for the county’sefforts towards curbing thesale of tobacco products.Hay said the gift was a “gen-erous offering, but it had to have cost the organization anywhere from $8 to $10.With our nine legislators, we are talking about $80 to$100 expenditure. I’d much rather the organization spent the money for advertising or enforcement.”Hay believes elected of-ficials should never receivespecial recognition in the form of any gift, be it a “plaque,dinner, or trinket. It may bea nice gesture but is totally unnecessary. We are doingour job. The only recognition an official needs is a ‘thank  you.’ When re-election timecomes, if the community be-lieves the man or woman hasserved admirably, he or sheshould be returned to office.If not, time for a new person in office!”
