Highlights from the May 14 meeting At the Wednesday (May 14) meeting of the Cold Spring Village Board, Mayor Kathleen Foley reported that, after an attempt to approve a sales-tax-sharing plan failed, Putnam County's town and village leaders worked with the four members of state Legislature to draft a revised home-rule request to get it done. Foley said the county Legislature must vote to accept the request and that a special meeting has been scheduled for Monday. The mayor reported that, following recent heavy rains, Village Hall received numerous calls about water flowing out of an old conduit on Craigside Drive near Haldane. Tests showed the water appears to be from an underground stream that shifted course after the severe storms in July 2023. The village is working with the school district and Central Hudson to resolve the situation. Seastreak has canceled plans for summer cruises to Cold Spring. Instead, it has proposed a cruise for Sept. 6, followed by Saturday and Sunday excursions from Oct. 4 through Nov. 9. Friday dockings are proposed for Nov. 7, 14 and 21. The board approved usage-fee increases for the village sewer and water systems effective July 1. The Cold Spring Fire Co. responded to nine calls in April, including three runs to assist other fire companies, two assists to local emergency medical services, two activated fire alarms and two brush fires. Firefighters spent six hours helping to extinguish a 19-acre blaze in Putnam Valley. Chief Matt Steltz reported that volunteers Philip Kean, Lauren De La Vega and Kimberly Seville recently completed basic exterior firefighting training. The Cold Spring police responded to 115 calls in April, including 27 assists to other agencies, eight traffic stops and four motor vehicle crashes. The Village Board accepted Camille Linson's resignation as associate justice, effective June 5. She is moving out of the area. The Historic District Review Board is considering a policy that would require applicants to create escrow funds for projects that require a public hearing to cover expenses. Trustee Eliza Starbuck said she is exploring options for companies that supply parking payment kiosks linked to the ParkMobile app. The board budgeted for two additional kiosks as part of its 2025-26 budget. The board approved a request from the sloop Clearwater to dock at Cold Spring from July 19 to 27.
At The Bull, Lynda bumps into Lawrence, who's just visited the Lower Loxley VE day exhibition. When Lawrence exclaims it makes him feel proud to be British, Lynda pointedly mentions troops from other countries who also fought in the war. Cutting Lynda off, Lawrence turns the conversation to Reginald Dodge's family, who were also at the exhibition. Lynda's irritated when Lawrence is then rude about the quality of Ambridge's cricket teas, suggesting they need to up their game to rise up his catering league. Later, Lynda makes it clear to Lawrence how she feels about him. She didn't appreciate his advances when they first met, and she won't fraternise with a racist. When Lawrence tries to smooth things over, it's clear Lynda has no time for him. Lilian and Tony try to locate Hilda, who's still missing. Peggy's coming with Christine to the beacon lighting and WI tea later, and will expect a visit with Hilda en route. Lilian and Tony agree to pretend they saw Hilda this morning, but she's now wandered off. At the Village Hall later, Lilian and Tony wonder where Peggy is before Lilian gets a call from The Laurels. Lilian then approaches Tony in tears, telling him Peggy has died peacefully in her chair at the home. As the beacon blazes on Lakey Hill, Lilian, Brian and Tony share their feelings about Peggy. They head off to Peggy's slideshow at the Village Hall, which Lynda has agreed to narrate at the last minute. Tearful Lilian just wishes Peggy was there to watch it with them.
South East Water’s Community Fund donated £2,000 to Stroud Village Hall and Residents Association . Stroud Village Hall was built about 5 years ago and together with volunteers they are creating a community garden of raised beds, wild flowers and harvesting the rainfall from the roof with water butts. Katy Lace, the Hall Manager, with volunteers Glen, Kat and Dave, spoke to Mike Waddington about what they will be doing with the grant and how people can be involved. South East Water said: This year over 100 applications to South East Water’s Community Chest Fund were received and the decision on where to place the money was taken by a panel of eight South East Water employees. Stroud Village Hall and Residents Association is one of ten good causes across the south east which is sharing a £20,000 bounty thanks to South East Water’s Community Chest Fund. The money will be used to deliver and maintain a community garden for the residents of Stroud village, and be used particularly by residents who live in accommodation with little, or no gardens or outside space. The garden will provide a space for residents to mix, share stories and learn new skills from more established residents who have grown up in a rural location. Tanya Sephton, Customer Services Director, South East Water said: “We are delighted that our Community Chest Fund will be contributing to such a wonderful project and help bring the community together in a place of nature.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A year and a half ago, Oak Park's architecturally significant Village Hall was headed for demolition. But the building, a modernist structure designed in the mid-1970s by architect Harry Weese, survived that threat. And late last week the village board selected a River North architecture firm to work out a plan for revitalizing the building for long-term use.

The political power struggle continues in Dolton after Mayor Tiffany Henyard appeared in court seeking to force the village board to hold meetings at Village Hall. The dispute stems from two dueling meetings in two different locations on Oct. 7. Henyard filed a lawsuit following those meetings against several trustees on the village board and on the village's park district, saying meetings should still be held at Village Hall. Trustees pushed back, citing a binding opinion from the Attorney General's Public Access Bureau that directed the village to take measures to make meetings convenient and open to the public, including a demand that meetings be held at a location with enough space to be reasonably accessible.
Max Solomon, Attorney to Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, joins Lisa Dent to address the latest in the ongoing situation in Dolton with Mayor Henyard, as she is now filing a lawsuit against the Village trustees and administrators that held a meeting outside of Dolton’s Village Hall.
Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard made a late appearance at the Dolton Village Board meeting on Monday night. That meeting was held at the park district building since Village Hall cannot legally accommodate the crowds at a typical meeting. But Henyard tried to hold a separate board meeting at Village Hall anyway. She had to abruptly cancel it after not enough trustees were there. Henyard then drove a few minutes down the road to where trustees were going through the agenda, but was booed out of the room. Trustees continued business, calling out Henyard in the process. The meeting was called to an end soon after.
Fighting and threats erupted at Village Hall in Sauk Village this week—tied to a financial probe in the south suburb. The tension was all captured on video Tuesday night. Village Clerk Marva Campbell-Pruitt and Mayor Derrick Burgess got into a heated exchange right in the middle of a board of trustees meeting. "It just went north," said Sauk Village Trustee Diane Sapp. "I wouldn't say it went south. It went north." "Disgust, disgust," said Trustee Debbie Williams. "It's getting worse every week." Williams and Sapp had a front-row seat Tuesday night. They said village meetings can get heated, but this week, it got to a level they had never seen.
Beacon, Cold Spring, Philipstown receive grants Beacon, Cold Spring and Philipstown are set to receive nearly $1.4 million in funding to mitigate the effects of climate change. The money is part of the most recent round of funding from the Clean Energy Communities program of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Philipstown will receive $580,000, Beacon $493,750 and Cold Spring $290,000. Beacon also has qualified for an additional $375,000 grant. Before the announcement, the largest grant given to a community by the Clean Energy Communities program was $10,000. "For a town this size, it's just mind-blowing," said Martha Upton, the Philipstown Climate Smart coordinator. The program acts in conjunction with Climate Smart Communities, an initiative in which municipalities receive points for taking steps to lower the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. Philipstown and Cold Spring are both certified bronze in the Climate Smart initiative, while Beacon is silver. The more points a community earns, the better its chances of receiving state grants. The Philipstown funding will be used to install solar panels on the highway garage roof, implement energy efficiency upgrades in municipal buildings, install public networked electric vehicle chargers at Town Hall and the Recreation Center and purchase a Ford Lightning EV pickup and battery-powered landscaping equipment. Upton said that the Town Hall chargers have already been installed and the ones at the Recreation Center should be ready within a few weeks. Cold Spring also will purchase a Ford Lightning EV pickup and battery-powered landscaping equipment and install chargers at the wastewater plant near Mayor's Park. The rest of the funding will go toward a food scraps drop-off pilot program, LED lighting upgrades at the water plant and efficiency upgrades at Village Hall. Beacon's funding will go toward electric vehicles, a solar array and EV chargers. The timing of the funding is fortuitous because the City Council on Aug. 19 approved a six-year Climate Action Plan. "This will help us achieve our goals on time," said Faye Leone, Beacon's Climate Smart coordinator. "We're going to be ahead on some stuff, which is great." Although the communities were in competition with each other for the money, Leone noted that the grants benefit the region. "The more our neighboring communities can do, the better our air quality is," she said.

Stroud Village Hall is delighted to have received £10,000 from EHDC as part of their Rural Grant scheme. The scheme is part of their Grow Up Programme. The grant will help towards improvements to the facilities in their function room. The new equipment is hoped to bring the local community closer and ensure that the hall will be a local hub for the village and wider areas. They want to serve as a central hub, a gathering place where residents of all ages can come together to enjoy a wide range of activities.

Three trustees from the Village of Dolton called a special meeting on Monday night to try and keep the village running as they deal with embattled Mayor Tiffany Henyard. Trustees who do not support Henyard said she would not allow them to put items on the regular meeting agenda, so they set their own meeting to start before hers. The two contentious meetings were held back to back, starting at 6:15 p.m. at Village Hall. Trustees said Dolton is facing a financial disaster and they blame Henyard for overspending and mismanagement. “There's no more money, anything that we can sell we need to sell it, if you wanna get outside we can sell you too,” trustee Kiana Belcher said.

This week's Local Selection comes from Waterford-based, B.R.E.D. The Enigma resident delivers a churning hour mix that is oozing with unrelenting hypnotic rhythms and screwface stompers. Waterfor's B.R.E.D has made a reputation for himself on the Irish scene in recent years. Known for his keen ear for threatening hypnotic cuts, the young DJ's merciless approach to music selection has propelled him to the forefront of Ireland's techno scene in recent years. He has performed at Electric Picnic for the previous three years and most recently headlined Saturday at Village Hall, enthralling the audience with his distinctly poweful arsenal of techno weapons. Beyond the festival circuit, B.R.E.D has been leaving his mark on Ireland's club circuit while showcasing his groove-focussed sound across the country. As a member of Enigma, he has worked with some of the most creative minds in the Irish scene, pushing the frontiers of electronic music in the Southeast. With a passion for pushing boundaries in his home town of Waterford, the young artist's dedication to carving out unique dance spaces has seen him gain support from some of Ireland's most revered tastemakers. B.R.E.D's contribution to the Local Selection is marked by his persistent intensity, with pulsating bass grooves and smoky soundscapes creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The youngster keeps his finger on the trigger throughout as he gradually increases the energy while layering crawling half-steppers and dizzying spacey tools to add depth and complexity.

Cold Spring's community spirit shines brightest on two types of occasions. One is when it's time to celebrate, such as the Halloween Parade, Community Day or when a Haldane team returns by bus with a championship late at night to find Main Street lined with fans. The other is when someone needs support, whether because of a family tragedy, a house fire or the loss of a loved one. I saw that spirit recently as villagers rallied for George Stevenson, a Haldane High School graduate, Vietnam veteran, artist and long-ago stroke victim who suffered a setback in January and was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital in Cortlandt Manor. He was missed immediately. He wasn't making his daily walk to Foodtown. He wasn't hanging out by Cold Spring Pizza or the firehouse. After a short stay in the hospital, George was transferred to the New York State Veterans Home at Montrose. A Facebook post let villagers know they could deliver greetings to George through The Current office on Main Street, and soon a pile of good wishes came through our mail slot: more than 50 cards with heartfelt messages, family photos, artwork, candy, emails, Valentine's cards and notes from children. The Methodist Church Shawl Group made him a blanket. A family gave him a Book of Psalms. Members of the Cold Spring Fire Co., American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, and employees at Village Hall, Drug World and Cold Spring Pizza sent cards with multiple signatures. I delivered the pile to George at the VA on Feb. 17. He lit up like a 500-watt bulb. He was surprised, amazed and grateful. Best of all, he is doing well, is in a good frame of mind and taking part in activities at the facility. He raved about the food. I heard several times about the hamburger he had just eaten for lunch. He winced, saying physical therapy for his knee is painful but added he will continue to fight and is getting "strong, strong, strong." He admitted to flirting with the nurses, whom he said provided excellent care. We had our traditional conversation. George claimed he was a much faster-skating hockey player than I was. I gave him my usual response; I would have knocked him on his ass anyway. George laughed hard, which was good to behold. His life story is compelling. A lifelong Cold Spring resident, he excelled in football at Haldane and still holds the school record for pass receptions. He also was a standout baseball player. After graduating in the mid-1960s, he worked at ConEdison for a year before enlisting in the U.S. Army. He was sent to Vietnam, where he flew into rice paddies or the jungle by helicopter, always with the possibility of encountering a firefight. During one period, on five consecutive sorties, the pilots who flew George and the other soldiers into battle were killed. He fought in the Mekong Delta, survived malaria, was wounded and received a Purple Heart. After his tour, he returned to Cold Spring and worked as a lineman for the New York Telephone Co. But within a year, he suffered a stroke, losing the use of his right arm. His right leg was severely weakened and he could not speak. As part of his therapy, George began to paint. Using his left hand, he became prolific and developed a distinctive, primitive style. Initially, he painted scenes from the war. Over time his subjects changed to local landmarks and peaceful landscapes. He learned to speak again using short phrases and to walk, despite his bad right leg, but never regained the use of his right arm. For decades, until the pandemic shutdown, George rode Metro-North to New York City for weekly art lessons. He lived independently at the Spring Brook Condominiums. During my visit on Feb. 17, he crossed his fingers and expressed hope that if he continues to improve, he might return to Cold Spring in a month or two. Whatever the future holds, I know two things: George will never stop fighting, and he is a genuine local hero. Cards can be mailed to George Stevenson, c/o NYS Veterans Home, Dee...
Residents urged to attend two HHFT sessions Cold Spring residents will soon have a chance to express their opinions on the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail (HHFT) as part of a survey being developed by the Village Board. "We've had discussions about how we, as a body, are making sure we're representative of views around the village," Mayor Kathleen Foley said at the Wednesday (Feb. 14) meeting. The mayor advocated conducting the survey and hosting a feedback session for village residents following two public information meetings scheduled by HHFT, which she urged residents to attend. On March 11, HHFT will share its analysis of alternate routes and present an overview of the concept design. On April 3, it will present its visitor projections and visitor management strategy. Both meetings will take place at 6 p.m. at Dutchess Manor at 262 Route 9D. Registration will be required because the room seats only 200 people. Foley noted that HHFT is already surveying residents of the lower village and Fair Street. "We are not talking about a competition with the HHFT survey," she said. "I'm hoping we can establish feedback for our public record and create space for villagers to be heard." "We have 2,000 villagers and I think we have 2,000 opinions," said Trustee Eliza Starbuck. She said a survey would enable residents who are not comfortable speaking in public to voice their opinions. Trustee Aaron Freimark expressed concerns about survey overload, suggesting the village work with other organizations and municipalities or HHFT. Because Cold Spring has no direct influence on state parks or HHFT decisions, "if we partner with them, I'm hoping we'd have a little skin in the game," he said. Trustee Laura Bozzi said she would prefer the village do its own survey and "really think about the questions; villagers would like us to ask for their input." Foley noted that after a public meeting on the Fjord Trail in May 2023, the village, Philipstown and Nelsonville agreed to move forward individually because their needs may differ. "There would be a trust deficit at the board level if we're not asking for feedback directly from our constituents," she said. During the public comment period, several residents agreed the village should conduct its own survey. Susan Peehl, who lives on Fair Street, said she was "deeply offended" by the HHFT survey. She said it contained ambiguous wording and provided little opportunity for resident input. Paul Thompson, who lives in the lower village, didn't share her concerns. "Overall it was quite a balanced survey, with plenty of opportunity to express your views," he said. In other business … In January, village crews dealt with two floods at both Cedar Street and the riverfront. They removed six loads of driftwood and four loads of debris from the riverfront, and the catch basins were cleared six times. Village Account Michelle Ascolillo outlined the tentative timeline for drafting the 2024-25 budget, including a draft no later than March 20, a public hearing on April 10 and adoption no later than May 1. The Cold Spring Police Department responded to 53 calls for service in January. Officers issued 21 traffic tickets, including 12 for speeding, and 39 parking tickets. There was one arrest for driving with a suspended license. The Cold Spring Fire Co. answered 19 calls, including for a structure fire. The village reservoirs are at 99 percent capacity. Beginning in March, meetings of the Zoning Board of Appeals will shift from the first and third Thursday to the second and fourth Tuesday. The board discussed a request for the sale of village-owned property at the rear of 107-109 Main St. Foley was authorized by the board to sign an agreement with New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) regarding installation of electric-vehicle charging stations and an energy study for Village Hall. The board approved adoption of the community greenhouse gas inventory as part of the Climate Smart Communit...

Myles Dannhausen Jr. and Andrew Kleidon feed the birds, give a novice's recap of the Oscars, and fill us in on restaurant changes in Baileys Harbor. Plus, an update on the conversation around Sister Bay's Village Hall.
You may recall that we had the legendary Lucy Jordache on the podcast a while back, and she pointed out that TCD (case in point) has a tendency to be a little bit niche and at times a little bit clique-y.Now we have tried to take her advice onboard, but I suspect Chapter 148 is definitely one for the hardened purple. "How so?" I hear you ask. Well let me give you a few examples..There is quite a bit of early-episode bants that revolves around the ongoing chat amongst the purple supporters.We refer extensively to a purple-only-prawn-cracker snap poll that took place last week.There is news of stealth-purple-only-merch available at PZ.Elitist and clique-y possibly, but fear not non-purples, there is still plenty to keep you amused, including three diary entries, a new 'soldering-iron advice and support lesson with Stephen' and information on how to apply to work in a large fish tank.Love'n'roulette wheels in the headhTCD Merch StoreBecome Purple and support the showThe Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014FacebookInstagramWebsite
Southampton Village Mayor Jesse Warren and the village trustees have been at odds lately, and both sides have made their views very public. Much of the divide is due to the trustees appointing their pick for the next chief of the Village Police Department over the mayor's objections. Warren did not hold back in criticizing the choice, and the trustees' chief pick ultimately reversed course and turned down the job. The trustees went on to accuse the mayor of undermining the hiring process and seeking a compliant chief "who would accede to his wishes, with blind loyalty to him, irrespective of the wisdom or propriety of the Mayor's position." Watching the events unfold has been remarkable. On this week's podcast, the editors discuss the controversy over the police chief situation and the acrimony at Village Hall in general.
The end may be coming for the Sister Bay Village Hall. The village has struggled to figure out what to do with the building for years, but its plan commission has now recommended it be removed to potentially make way for a new visitor center with better facilities. Andrew Kleidon talks to Myles Dannhausen Jr. about the hall's future, then they discuss the county's deliberations over what to do with the intersection by Culver's, where a run of crashes has left many looking for safety improvements.

In episode 9 of the Vicksburg Visit series, Village Council Pro Tem Carl Keller offers his viewpoint on the most significant village goals achieved in recent years. As well, he discusses his view on the next big goal: A new village hall.In the rearview, Councilman Keller points to infrastructure and streetscape improvements in the village as the project of most significance. A low-interest, 40-year federal loan for $12 million actually saved the village $3 million in interest while allowing pressing infrastructure issues to be corrected - and an updated streetscape to be completed.But, looking ahead, borrowing funds to construct the new village hall will not be the approach. Click to listen to Councilman Keller discuss the planning underway to fund that construction.Hear the full Vicksburg Visit series—-Could your organization or business use purposeful exposure like this in order to share your story?
