A Putnam County Owned Business Enterprise |
Named for American Indians who lived in the region, Wiccopee was also known as Johnsville for a time before reverting to its original moniker. Its historic business district ran along Fishkill Hook/Hook roads, south of Route 52. In all, 19 buildings in Wiccopee, including the hamlet’s 1825 Methodist Episcopal Church, are included in the town’s survey of historic structures. [...] Good Wednesday Morning, Yes, I’m still cleaning up from the party last Saturday. It’s hard living alone you know. I still have two large metals bowls, a white ceramic bowl (with gold trim) and a blue ceramic plate that need be returned to their owners. I also want to thank DM for his information about greasel conversations, AC for the popcorn, and the weather gods for largely cooperating. The images above were shot yesterday from a private home (or what’s left of it) on Mechanic Street in Carmel. The devastation you see used to be farm fields and now is being prepared for the location of 300 condos for “active seniors”, 25% of whom will need Medicaid at some point during their residence in Putnam County which we will pay for. You can see more images at full size here.
From the article posted in yesterday’s “Special Edition” on Kent Manor and Pulte Home’s The Retreat, came a number of responses, most of which used language I cannot print. This one, edited for softer eyes, was one of the least angry: “I can’t &Z@&@ believe this was allowed to happen in Carmel. I [...] “I was taken off the Personnel Committee with no discussion, or hearing, or input on my part but they’re not going to stop me from doing my duty as legislator.” – PC Legislator Tony Fusco (see story) Good Friday Morning, The Town of Kent is in the process of constructing a bathroom at Farmer’s Mills Park, a project that will cost tens of thousands of dollars, I think unnecessarily. I asked Supervisor Doherty if the Town had considered the use of composting toilets and to her credit she said they had but that the county health department wouldn’t approve their use. I might advise the town not to engage in the drilling of wells, the digging of septic or the laying of pipe for a leach field just yet, when for tens of thousands of dollars less they can go the way of national governments and state and national parks across the globe with the use of a composting toilet instead. Just because the Department will not approve of this tax dollar and environment saving utility does not mean the town should throw up its hands and move forward with the more expensive project. Rather, [...] Cities Contemplate the Composting Toilet By Kate Galbraith Sun-MarSun-Mar Sun-Mar brand composting toilets are certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International. In addition to catching raindrops, homeowners and building managers are trying out another way to conserve water: composting toilets. Last month the city of Austin, Tex., approved its first composting toilet. Columbus, Ohio is adding some composting toilets to its parks. Officials in Dutchess County, N.Y., are studying the concept. The toilets are supposed to use no water and, over time, create a usable fertilizer. Many are supposed to be used indoors (although the Austin model, which appears to be different, is for an outhouse-type unit). People put composting toilets in all kinds of places, according to Jim Weaver, the operations manager of BioLet, a composting toilet maker. “Boathouses. Pool houses. Barns. Workshops. Cabins. Anywhere where it’s not convenient or economical to put a conventional toilet,” he said. Mr. Weaver said that business grew about 80 percent last year, but the recession caused a sharp drop. Things have picked back up in the past several weeks, however. Mr. Weaver said that the company typically sells more than 1,000 units a year. via Cities Contemplate the Composting Toilet [...] |
