A Putnam County Owned Business Enterprise |
This past Saturday evening saw a most wonderful, and sad, event. Kent residents Roy Volpe and Susan Gamache held an open-house in memory of Peter Rossi who passed on last week after his wake at the Beecher Funeral home in Brewster. More than three score traveled from up and down the east coast gathering together to reminisce about Peter and his life, especially his contributions to the cultural and social justice worlds we inhabit here in Putnam County. [...] The Methodist church at Tompkins Corners is about to go up for sale. The United Methodist Conference is in the process of obtaining an independent assessment of the property they hope will be higher than the town-assessed $200,000. [...] Except for Wendy Whetsel, the remaining town board members were silent. There were no pro-incentive zoning residents speaking. Paraphrasing one PVRC member who said after the meeting: “The board did not need any pro-incentive zoning residents to speak because they already have a majority to votes in this law.” [...] Putnam Valley highway chief is arrested over statement on missing equipment | LoHud.com PUTNAM VALLEY — Town Highway Superintendent Earl C. Smith has been arrested on two misdemeanor counts in connection with a report he filed on missing town equipment, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said today. Smith, a three-term elected highway chief who has worked for the town since 1979, was arrested Thursday afternoon and charged with third-degree falsely reporting an incident and making a punishable written false statement, police said. Sheriff’s investigators conferred with the District Attorney’s Office before charging Smith, police said. In July 2009, Smith, 69, gave a sworn statement to sheriff’s investigators that a tailgate missing from a town truck had been stolen, the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. However, Smith knew that the reported theft never happened and that his sworn statement was false, police said. And, seeing that he has come to us as a Vice President of Exceed Development and his temporary Chief of Staff is the president of that development corporation, how far away are we from simply handing the county to Paul Camarda? Right now Mr. C. has to go through the appearance of formality but as we’ve seen in Carmel and Patterson, where corrupt town boards are in his pocket, those formalities are only paper thin. [...] In the quest for knowledge we sometimes have to experience things for ourselves. Anyone who has eaten or drunk something they found wonderful or seen something so spectacular that it knocked their socks off can tell you about it but you’ll never truly understand until you taste, swallow or see for yourself. Pictures of the Grand Canyon are nothing compared to actually standing on the rim yourself. A slice of New York cheesecake cannot be adequately described in words. [...] 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. [...] MaryEllen Odell slugged Vinnie Leibell yesterday in a show of force that blew all our hair back. No one thought the Senator was so unpopular that he had to squeak through with a minuscule lead in order to win the Republican primary at the polls. Down a mere 170 votes with absentee ballots still to count, there’s no one in this county who should be prouder than MEO this morning. A job really well done. VL: 3206 – MEO: 3030 . There were 7 write-in votes and rumor has it one of them was for yours truly. If elected I will proudly serve. [...] But when the night was done it was clear who had “won” and that was Maryellen Odell. Her answers were on-point. She was well prepared, refused to bicker over bullshit (such as the amount of the county budget) and when closing statements were made where the Senator said he wasn’t interested in “rhetoric” and then dove into a strictly rhetorical argument for support, MEO just hit nail after nail after nail on the head with single shots. [...] Let’s look back just a few years to the 1990′s when the US led the world in the field of computers and shared media resources which created an entirely new world resulting in the largest explosion of mass communications and connectivity ever experienced generating trillions of dollars in personal and corporate wealth, marking the US as the global leader in such and earning revenues that ended the decade with a federal surplus. And this was during the decade of the terrorist attack in Oklahoma City. Why not now? What has changed? Who is intentionally keeping us down? [...] |
