Rapes, murders, jewelry store thefts… yeah, that’s Putnam County these days. It’s odd and strange and slightly encouraging that the artificial walls we’ve set up to prevent the outside world from coming in are coming down. As for our county and town governments, we have the County Legislature passing memorandum calling for the state to increase funding for this or that. We’ve got caretaker County Executive Paul Eldridge blaming ‘unfunded mandates’ for county budgetary issues, issues that could be resolved if the county would just man-up and cut the budget. In other words, whether we like it or not we’re just like everyone else save that our governments are constructed of tax-and-spend Republicans. Go figure. [...]
Dan Bern With Common Rotation. A rare New York performance by this mid-western singer-songwriter. Dan has worked with Putnam County’s Jonathan Demme, writing original songs for Demme’s off-Broadway production of “Family Week”, which included a duet with Emmylou Harris. And if you’ve ever seen, “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” you were listening to Dan’s songs. [...]
Kent Community Day 11AM – 6PM Ryan’s Field at the back of Lake Carmel. Fun and games and burgers and whatnot. Big blow-up slides and more politicians than you can shake a stick at! Fun for the whole family! (just stay clear of the politicians…) Stop by the Town’s Stormwater Management Committee’s tent for free balloons for the kids and great information for mom and dad. [...]

Lawsuit continues over arts center in Mahopac | LoHud.com
MAHOPAC — The Putnam Arts Council is days away from moving into its rebuilt home on Kennicut Hill Road in Mahopac, three years after a fire heavily damaged its building there.
But as it readies itself for watercolor, pottery and printmaking classes, the organization is still battling in court about the Belle Levine Arts Center's existence among the homes above Bucks Hollow Road. Neighbor John Molloy, who unsuccessfully brought a lawsuit against the arts council and the Carmel zoning board last year for allowing the rebuilding to proceed, is continuing his fight in a state appeals court.
Molloy argued in 2009 that the center's property has been residentially zoned since 1955, 13 years before the council formally acquired the land. He said, its commercial use of the land is illegal, and the zoning board's decision to grant the council a use variance was incorrect.
“The fact is they haven't been legal since 1968. The argument hasn't changed,” Molloy, an attorney, said Friday.
In May, state Supreme Court Justice Andrew O'Rourke disagreed with Molloy and supported the zoning decision. Molloy in January filed an appeal with the the Appellate Division's Second [...]
Many of my Democratic Party friends were enthused by the President’s speech the other night. But we’re still in Afghanistan, gays still cannot serve openly in the military and are being discharged at an alarming rate, and health care “reform” has turned into a trillion dollar handout to insurance companies who are already making millions. They say, “be patient”. I say, “Don’t blame me. I voted for Nader” [...]
Note: If you want your event posted here, please don’t send a PDF or a JPG file. It’s truly difficult to transcribe what could be sent out as a simple text message. While those posters may look nice, they take up bandwidth and clog up some people’s email boxes. So, if your stuff ain’t here, that may be the reason! Oh, and while we’re at it, if your event is in February and you send it to me now, odds are it’s going to get lost in the fray. But do try to get it over my way about a week or so in advance. [...]
