Early maps show Philipstown being more recatngularish from when it was divvied up among the Philipse Family. The 1892 USGS map shows the current westernmost line of Kent, the line that runs along the Philisptown Pike (Route 301) AND the *old* town line as well. That line is missing from the 1941 map which has the current town lines in position. [...] 
Good Wednesday Morning, Those political signs are still along Route 301 in Fahnestock State Park. Just thought I’d mention it… Yesterday afternoon I finally closed my account with Bank of America. Back in June I wrote an article called, “The Thirty-Eight Billion Dollar Fee” about my reasons for divorcing that evil financial institution and it has become the most read article at the website proving that I’m not alone in my beef with the American corporate banking system. The bank officer I worked with yesterday, Ryan Coakley, was very nice about the whole thing and as I related the story to him as to why I was leaving a 40+ year relationship he appeared unmoved by the banking world’s efforts to screw the common man. After all, that system is paying his rent. Farewell Bank of America! May you, your executive officers and your shareholders spend eternity in that hot place. Do you remember back in the day when Ridgefield, CT developer Paul Camarda sold his bill of goods to the town of Carmel for the purchase of town land along Route 6 adjoining his golf course? Remember the conference center that wouldn’t be just another hotel but a “destination”? Whatever happened with all that? He owns the land and has for years but where’s the playground and the 12 acres he was supposed to set aside for construction of the YMCA? Anyone? Hello Carmel! Is there anyone home? [...] Our informal and unofficial County Executive preference poll now has a whopping total of 47 votes (somewhere we’re missing 900 readers) and “Other” still holds the majority with 51%. Maryellen Odell comes in second with 32% and Senator Leibell with 17%. In essence, twice as many people prefer MEO as do the Senator but then twice as many people prefer someone else all together as both combined. [...] The Big News this morning is that the courts in Carmel have dropped all their charges against Lori Kemp. Judge Spofford who has played the middle ground as carefully as one could while being a cog in The Machine, ruled on a motion filed by Ms. Kemp’s attorney, Maureen Fleming, that the court has dragged its feet over the past 9 months or so and since a speedy trial wasn’t in the offing they’ve given up. You can read the pertinent part of the ruling here. [...] Putnam County Applicant: Town of Carmel 60 McAlpin Ave Mahopac, NY 10541 Facility: Lake Secor Park District Secor Road Carmel, NY 10512 Application ID: 3-3720-00299/00006 Permit(s) Applied for: Article 15 Title 3 Aquatic Pesticides Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Project is Located: Carmel, Putnam County Project Description: The applicant proposes to treat the central 24 acre portion of Lake Secor with the algaecide Copper Sulfate Fine Crystals (active ingredient copper sulfate pentahydrate) to control nuisance algal growth. Lake Secor is a 48-acre lake that is contiguous with New York State designated Freshwater Wetlands OL-46 (Class II) and ML-10 (Class I). Although the algacide treatment will not be performed within either wetland or 100 foot adjacent area, incidental drift of copper sulfate into regulated areas is anticipated. The outflow from the lake will not be restricted following the proposed treatment. Availability of Application Documents: Filed application documents, and Department draft permits where applicable, are available for inspection during normal business hours at the address of the contact person. To ensure timely service at the time of inspection, it is recommended that an appointment be made with the contact person. State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Determination: A draft environmental impact statement has [...] Come November 1st, a new state law will require that automobile drivers leave a “reasonable distance” between themselves and bicyclists on the roads when passing. And while this requires some drivers to start paying attention it also requires bicyclists to do the same. If you’re riding two feet inside the white line it’s virtually impossible for a driver to give you your three-feet else they’d be in oncoming traffic. So please, bear a little of the burden of mutual safety and move to the right when a car comes up behind you. Okay? Thanks. [...] A woman in Kapurthala, Punjab decided to take matters into her own hands when she suspected her husband was having an illicit affair. Suffice to say that she mixed an intoxicant with some liquor which she fed to her husband. You don’t want to know the rest but she’s been charged with attempted murder and he’s in hospital a few inches shorter. [...] Jeff, you said it all. This project is such pure pork for developers that the smell of bacon dominates our County’s air. I will be a definite “NO” vote on this fiasco and I hope at least 4 more Legislators vote the same way. Thanks Jeff for summing up the absurdity and ridiculousness of this project. [...] Francis O’Reilly, Lori Kemp’s court appointed attorney, admitted to the judge that he hadn’t returned Ms. Kemp’s calls nor acted on her behalf because he was too busy or something, quit the case right there before god and everyone. [...] However, after spending more than an hour removing and tagging the hundreds of plants, then hauling it all down the police department downtown, testing revealed that none of it was marijuana at all.
