by Joe Lindsley Jr.On October 15, 1817, in the Swiss city of Solothurn,Thaddeus Kosciuszko, archi-tect of West Point and heroof Poland, gave up the ghost after a life spent as a wander-ing freedom fighter. The man who would be hailed as oneof the great Poles of all timefirst gained widespread famedue to the months he spent in the isolated, lonely Hud-son Highlands, constructingfortifications on the hills and plateaus at West Point.Kosciuszko’s story is told affectionately but accurately by Alex Storozynski in
The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Era of Rev-olution,
published last April.Storozynski, a Pulitzer Prizing winning Brooklyn native who has lectured throughout the world, including at Prague’sCharles University and at West Point, offers a well-researched portrait of one of history’sgreat characters—a man who was intimately involved in the 18th century battles for freedom and who lived up to his ideals by actively opposingserfdom and slavery wherever he ventured.With his engineering acu- men and his heroism in battlesfrom Saratoga, New York,to Charleston, South Caro-lina, Kosciuszko earned the

by Michael Brendan DoughertyThe Working Families partyis one of the newest and fast-est growing “third parties” in New York State. Formed in 1998 by a coalition of labor unions and organizations suchas the highly controversialAssociation of CommunityOrganizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the partyfocused immediately on is-sues like raising the minimum wage in New York State, often winning small but significant victories.The party has a growing presence in traditionally Re- publican Putnam, and witha ballot line secured in NewYork State until 2011, the party has been able to flexits muscle in Democratic primaries in many parts of the state.The most prominent Re- publican on the 2009 Work-ing Families line was Sheriff by Eric GrossResidents in northern Phil-ipstown will be able to voteagain this year at the NorthHighlands Fire Department headquarters.After consultation withLegislator Vincent Tamagna and Supervisor William Maz-zuca, Commissioner of Elec-tions Anthony Scannapiecoconfirmed Monday that theBoard of Elections had with-drawn its earlier decision toclose the firehouse polling place after town officialsvehemently opposed.Scannapieco said the board reduced the number of poll-ing places from 27 to 20this year countywide as a cost-cutting move: “Now weare back up to 21,” he said.Putnam’s largest town, theTown of Carmel, has six poll-ing places; Patterson has two;and Kent, Southeast, and Put- nam Valley each have three, while Philipstown now hasfour, despite having a smaller population than Southeast,Kent, and Putnam Valley.Scannapieco admitted hecouldn’t understand the at-titude of Philipstown of-ficials: “We were thrown out of the former Nelson-ville firehouse where thecounty’s old machines werestored for years, forcing usto transport voting machinesacross the county for villageelections in Cold Spring and Nelsonville, as well as schoolelections in Garrison and Haldane. My staff and I willagain visit the Haldane HighSchool in the next couple of weeks to instruct children on using the new optic scan machines. Allegations that Philipstown residents are being mistreated and are thestep-children of the countyare simply bogus and false.”Legislator Tamagna re-acted by telling the
PCN&R
:“I, as all our legislators, have a tremendous amount of respect for the work that Commissioner Scannapiecoand his counterpart Commis-sioner Robert Bennett and their staffs perform eachday for all the residents of Putnam County. We in Philip-stown are extremely gratefulfor their decision. The NorthHighlands firehouse will bea polling place to stay.”

by Annie Chesnut On Friday, October 9,2009, Putnam County Sher-iff Donald Smith presided over a press conference at Cold Spring Village Hall toannounce the arrests of four people on armed robberycharges in connection withthe robbery of a group of youths at the Cold Spring riv-erfront bandstand September 18. Three of the defendantsare from Dutchess Countyand the fourth is from Con- necticut.The alleged bandstand ban-dits are: Angelina M. Diaz, 25,of 137 Spring Valley Street in Beacon; brothers Michael J.Montague, 20, of 567 SheafeManor in Poughkeepsie, and Christopher J. Montague, 22,of 53 East Main Street in Beacon; and David B. Price,18, of 20 Wood Drive in En-field, CT. They all face felonycharges as a result of the joint investigation conducted bythe Sheriff’s office and Cold Spring Police, in coopera-tion with police agencies in Beacon and Enfield.On September 18, around 10:20pm, the Cold SpringVillage Police received a 911

by Michael MellThe Putnam Valley Town Board held a budget work-shop on October 7, 2009. Thefirst of four budget-related meetings, it will be followed by another workshop on Octo- ber 14, a preliminary budget public hearing on November 4, and a final budget hearinglater in November. Each meeting will incorporate board and public comment tocreate the final budget to be presented to town residents.Supervisor Tendy, working with Director of FinancesMarianne DeSantis, has pre- pared a draft budget for 2010, which was the subject of the workshop. Ms. DeSantis made a brief preface to thediscussion by informing the board that the draft 2010 bud-get will be 5.02 percent larger than the 2009 budget. In spiteof a one percent decreasein expenditures, the chief factor the budget-to-budget increase is a significant re-duction in town revenues.Supervisor Tendy summed up the matter succinctly, say-ing “that expenditures aredown, but revenues are down further.” Tendy also praised town departments saying they“have all worked to reduce[their] budgets as much as possible, because they knewthe town was facing a revenueshortfall.”Councilman Gene Yetter asked the reasons behind theloss of revenues. DeSantis reported that the depressed housing market has resulted in a significant drop in mort-gage tax income. Propertytax revenue is also down dueto foreclosures and peopleleaving their homes. The last factor is a reduction in inter-est income from investments.Supervisor Tendy stated that the proposed budget is “prettylean” and added that the newMTA tax will be another drain on fiscal resources.Beginning a discussion of specific line items, Council- woman Wendy Whetsel called attention to a proposed sal-ary increase of $3,500 for the Town Supervisor. Citing“bad economic times,” shesuggested a freeze on all sala- ries. Tendy acknowledged that capping salaries duringdifficult economic times isa prudent measure. He went on, however, to state that the supervisor’s salary has not increased since 2003.Tendy also identified sometown department heads whosesalaries were in excess of that paid to the supervisor.“$3,500 does not mean muchfor me,” Tendy said, “but theincrease is important for the position.” Tendy described the salary range for town supervisors in other townsas ranging between $110,000and $130,000. “The salary must be commensurate,” hesaid, “with the qualifications required for the position.”Closing his remarks, the su- pervisor said, “I know the board does not agree with me on this issue, but I felt

by Eric GrossIt’s now official. The racefor Sheriff of Putnam Coun-ty is between the two-term incumbent Sheriff Donald Smith and his Democraticchallenger, Kevin McCo- nville.Former Southeast Town Judge James Borkowski with-drew from the race Monday,telling the
PCN&R
: “We al- most pulled off a completeshocker, coming within 230votes of defeating the en-trenched incumbent in a Sep-tember primary. It was closeall right, but no cigar. I havedecided not to be a spoiler in the race and—although my name will appear on theWorking Families Party linesince it is too late for it to be removed from the ballot— Iam not running for sheriff.”When asked if he will con-sider seeking public officein the future, Borkowski replied: “’I shall return,’as General MacArthur oncesaid!”Sheriff Smith reacted tothe news: “I respect Mr.Borkowski’s decision toend the campaign just asI respected his decision to run for the office. It is nobleto run for public office and give the people a choice.”McConville, a resident of Cold Spring, said he looked forward to the general elec-tion: “Judge Borkowski cameclose. Voters in the GOP primary failed to give thesheriff a majority vote. Thechoice is clear—another four years of the current sheriff’sadministration or a new ad- ministration based on profes-sional police management.”McConville is a retired chief of the MTA Police De- partment.

Besidesfeeding residents and visitorssince 1852, Smalley’s hasserved variously—and some-times simultaneously—as thetown’s hotel, bank, saloon,and morgue. But the historyat Smalley’s may be present in a more real sense: Someformer patrons reportedly have opted to stick around long after departing from this world. Today, ghost hunters make pilgrimages here seek-ing the spirits who continueto haunt the old inn in the heart of Carmel hamlet.If you stop in the restau- rant for a meal or head to the bar for some spirits, chancesare the staff will tell you the

by Eric GrossLake Oscawana water quality will be pure once again now that the House of Representativesapproved a $400,000 grant as part of the 2010 AgricultureAppropriations Act. News of the 263-162 votecame from Congressman John Hall, who visited the lake last May to view the problem first- hand and meet with local com- munity leaders.Hall said the grant would allow Lake Oscawana to be“saved. The lake is at the heart of Putnam Valley and is a valuable resource. Without the federal funding, the lake will die.”Lake Oscawana’s water quality has been decliningfor the past 40 years and the New York State Department of Environmental Conserva-tion concluded that remedial measures had to be taken im- mediately. Hall said the federalfunding would support a reha- bilitation plan commissioned by the Lake Oscawana CivicAssociation: “Plans call for removing existing phosphatein the lake and preventing new

by Michael MellThe October 6, 2009,Cold Spring Village Board workshop sandwiched an hour-long executive session between procedural mattersand acceptance of a bid to perform electrical work at several village buildings.The meeting began promptly at 7pm with a review of outstanding billsin advance of next week’s monthly meeting. This re-view process, implemented earlier this summer, is con-sistent with the board’scommitment to streamline procedures and process-es and to achieve a more real-time picture of vil-lage finances. It will allowany discrepancies, errors,or questions to be re-solved prior to the monthly meeting.Also moving in the direc-tion of improved financialaccountability, the board discussed a bookkeepingadjustment to establish rev-enue and expense lines for some new and other ongoingaccounts. Budget resolution 2009-37 will permit moredetailed accounting in threeareas: fire protection ser-vice provided by the Cold Spring Fire Department tothe Village of Nelsonville,the Worker’s Compensation account for firemen, and grant monies to be received by the Historic District Review Board to publishadditional copies of thearchitectural guidelines for the village. The board voted unanimously in favor, with

Constitution Island wasfeatured on a national tele-vision network last Fridayand Saturday. Doug Kennedy,a reporter for the Fox NewsChannel and the tenth child of Robert F. Kennedy, vis-ited Constitution Island tointerview Richard de Koster,executive director of the Con-stitution Island Association.Kennedy, who has worked for Fox News CEO Roger Ailesfor 12 years, said it was hisfirst visit to the island.“I personally have had the privilege to see many great sites of the American Rev-olution,” Kennedy told the
PCN&R
. “Unlike most of them,Constitution Island has not only recreated the history,it has preserved the history.That fact alone, in my opin-ion, ranks Constitution Island along with Concord, Bunker Hill, and Saratoga in definingAmerican Independence.”In a piece that aired last Friday and Saturday, Kennedyand de Koster spoke about the history of the island, whichfeatured prominently duringthe Revolutionary War. Theisland is still part of the West Point garrison, and is a proud part of the military academy’s heritage. A chain strung from the island to West Point helped prevent British ships from sailing up the Hudson and dividing the colonies in two.Given the history of Consti-tution Island, West Point hastaken great pains to preserveits historic nature and recentlyspent a significant sum of money to pave the island’s roads with a special surfacethat preserves the look and feel of a dirt path.Throughout the 19th century house on the island was hometo the famous Warner sisters, known for their literary and gardening pursuits, as Ken- nedy reported. Anna Warner also wrote popular hymns in-cluding the world-renowned “Jesus Loves Me.” The Warner home is currently shuttered for necessary preservation and restoration work, and deKoster informed the nationalaudience that donations are welcome.

For more informa-tion contact the First Presby-terian Church of Philipstown at 265-3220. by Catherine GarnseyOn Saturday, October 10at high noon, about 60 peo- ple joined in a nationwide“Fatima Rosary Prayer for Our Country” at the Bandstand on the riverfront in Cold Spring.This public event was part of “The America Needs Fatima Campaign,” an effort of theAmerican TFP to spread theFatima message nationwide.The American Society for theDefense of Tradition, Family,and Property (TFP) is a civicorganization of Catholic in-spiration that seeks to defend in a legal and peaceful way,the basic values of Christian civilization, namely tradition,family, and property. Diana Roda, one of the organizersof the Cold Spring event, had this to say afterwards, “It was just wonderful! We had a nicecross-section of people—fami-lies with children, teenagers,singles, seniors—who all cametogether to pray for Our Lady’scontinued blessings on our beloved nation.”The United Methodist Churches of Cold Spring and South Highland would liketo introduce Pastor Marga- ret (Peggy) Laemmel to thecommunity.Pastor Peg, as she likesto be known, was born on Plattsburgh Air Force Base, NY, on December 19, 1960.She moved to Riverdale, NY when she was about 3 and then moved to Croton-on-Hudson when she was 7, where shegraduated from high school in 1978. She attended the Uni-versity of Denver (1978–82) where she double-majored in theater and philosophy with a minor in education. She then moved to Washington State, working at teaching jobs for about four years.She moved to Japan when she found an overseas teach-ing position and there she married Shunsuke Arita. She has two children Issei, 20, whois attending college in Japan,and Masumi, 12, who lives with her. Pastor Laemmellived in Japan for 16 yearsand during that time taught English as a Second Language(ESL) in universities, chil-dren’s schools, communitycenters, and for Yokohama city. In 2002 she returned toAmerica, with the intention of continuing her teachingcareer in America, but wasthen called to ministry in the United Methodist Church.She attended Union Theo-logical Seminary, attaining her Master’s of Divinity in 2007. As well as her ministry with the United Methodist Church she also holds a full-time administrative/teaching position with Education First International, in Tarrytown:an ESL school for adults who wish to improve their Englishin an immersion environment.This is her first appointment and she is very excited to be here. “I have been given a very warm welcome by bothchurches,” she says. “I have been told that we have severalevents coming up which Iam looking forward to: TheHalloween party in October,followed by All Saints Dayof course; the craft fair in November; the hymn sings in both November and December with pot-luck; plus our Ad-vent and Christmas services.One of my great hopes for mytime here is that I will be ableto lead our church (myself included) into a greater spiri-tual practice. As a Christian community, especially as a people called Methodists, our call in our lives, church, and community, should always reflect the mission of theGospel of Christ – To loveGod with our whole beings,and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.”Long-time church member Barbara Moore says Pastor Peg is wonderful. “Her ser- mons talk about everydaylife. Once you hear her speak, you’ll want to come back next Sunday.”Pastor Laemmel has started a Bible Study, which will run through November 20. Theclasses will meet after theservice on Sunday from 1to 2pm. The subject will be“Living the Gospel of Mark.”During the class she plans toexplore the Gospel and also how to make it relevant todaily living through prayer and practice. The class isopen to all members of thecommunity, not just membersof the church.The South Highland UMCis again collecting coats for the needy in our community.Gently used coats in good condition can be dropped off at the church on Snake HillRoad (near Route 9/Garri-son Golf Course) on Sunday mornings (worship serviceat 9:30am) or placed in thecollection box on the outsidesteps of the church at anytime beginning October 11. Thecoats will be gathered and then distributed through thePhilipstown Food Pantry at the First Presbyterian Churchof Philipstown in Cold Spring.The collection will concludeon Sunday, November 15.For questions or more in-formation, please call Pat Harrington at 424-3096.The South Highland UMC will also be giving to Opera-tion Christmas Child, Samari-tan’s Purse Shoe Box Project.For more information on this project please go to the web-site
