By Rich Thomaselli "See you when I see you!"

That was the signature phrase for Wappingers Falls resident Carlo Cantarella, a cheery way of not so much saying goodbye, but more like a happy "Until next time!"

Carlo would have liked what he saw last month, when a good portion of the

community came out to see him one last time.

Despite the restrictions imposed by the state due to the coronavirus, Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls residents were able to honor and say goodbye to the 93-year old World War II veteran who died on April 29.

"It's always tough to lose a family

member," New York State Assemblyman Kieran Lalor said, himself a military veteran. "In this COVID-19 environment, it's even more difficult because social distancing prevents proper farewells and really interrupts the grieving process. For the virus to prevent someone from receiving the veteran's honors they earned during WWII is terrible. It's important to do something so that his service is acknowledged."

There will be a memorial service when things get back to normal, and a more formal military funeral, but the turnout on the day of Carlo's wake was stunning.

His family was surprised as they came out of the funeral home to see members of the American Legion outside handing out flags.

People lined the streets, practicing social distancing, while waving the flags. A police escort led the way to the cemetery.

Lalor had put notes on social media about paying respects to Carlo, as did Wappingers Rises and Adam Roche, who runs the Vet2Vet program.

"Our entire family was blown away by the response," said Tom Cantarella, Carlo's son. Kieran Lalor, Wappingers Rises, Adam Roche and all of our friends and neighbors. This is a worthy tribute to Continued on page 7

Convoy of vehicles to travel the county on Memorial Day to honor fallen heroes Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro and Marc Coviello, Director of the Dutchess County Division of Veterans’ Services, have organized a convoy of county, police, fire and local municipality vehicles to traverse Dutchess County as part of this year’s Memorial Day celebrations on Monday, May 25th.

Molinaro said, “Generations of brave men and women have protected this great nation, far too many of whom made the supreme sacrifice in defense of our country. Just because we are physically distancing ourselves from one another during these strange times, doesn’t mean we can’t honor these courageous servicemembers who died to keep America safe. Nothing will stop us from honoring their legacies this Memorial Day.” On Monday, May 25th, after laying wreaths at the Dutchess County War Memorial, the Memorial Day Convoy will depart at 11am escorted by Dutchess County Sheriff’s vehicles that will be decorated by Leah Eddington, a local artist. City of Poughkeepsie Fire Department vehicles will join as the Memorial Day Convoy travels down Main Street, taking Route 9 south.

May 20-26, 2020

The route is as follows: - Main Street in Poughkeepsie to Route 9, - Travel south down Route 9 From Poughkeepsie to Wappingers & Fishkill, - Take Route 52 to East Fishkill, - Follow Route 82 from Fishkill to East Fishkill taking 376 into Hopewell Junction, - Beekman road from Hopewell Junction to Beekman, - Route 55 out to Pawling - Route 22/343/44 to from Pawling through Dover/Amenia and up to Millerton, - Route 199 to Pine Plains and Milan to Red Hook, and finally; - Route 9 back down to Poughkeepsie, coming through Rhinebeck and Hyde Park.

As it travels throughout the county, each municipality will have official vehicles join the Memorial Day Convoy as it travels through their respective borders.

Residents are asked to please not gather in large group settings to watch the Memorial Day Convoy. To show support, residents are instead encouraged hang American flags

By Kate Goldsmith Although the Mid-Hudson hasn't met all the metrics set by Gov. Cuomo's "NY Forward" phased reopening plan, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, along with the leaders of neighboring counties, continues to advocate for the region's "un-pausing." According to the state's Regional Monitoring Dashboard (https://forward.ny.gov/regionalmonitoring-dashboard), as of Monday morning the Mid-Hudson region had achieved four of the seven metrics, with one of the three indicators not met (number of contact tracers) expected to be satisfied.

In his Town Hall meetings last week, Molinaro explained that the two metrics that haven't been met (14-day declines of new hospitalizations and deaths in hospitals) could make it difficult for the Mid-Hudson region to reopen. He said even if there is a single-day aberration (uptick) in either metric, the clock resets on the 14-day window. Initially, it was thought that those numbers would reflect a rolling three-day average.

"We've acted quickly and responsibly" to flatten the curve, said Molinaro. "From our perspective, we have trended downward … there is a sense of frustration because we thought we understood what the state was saying."

Without some adjustment to those metrics, Molinaro said, the MidHudson Region could be forced to wait much longer than originally anticipated to enter Phase 1, even though there is overall improvement in all categories.

The earliest the Mid-Hudson region could begin the reopening process would be nine days (as of May 15), Molinaro said, adding that the county is looking to find a balance between "saving lives and going about your lives," keeping the public safe while allowing the economy to reopen.

Molinaro noted that New York and neighboring states are allowing beaches and lakes to open this Friday (May 22), but county residents still can't go to most of their local retailers for curbside pickup. Some stores, including Home Depot, Lowe's, Target and others, have been allowed to stay open throughout the pandemic.

Despite staying in "pause," restrictions are easing somewhat.

Drive-in theaters are allowed to open, with safety protocols in place.

Four Brothers in Amenia opened on May 15, and Overlook and Hyde Park drive-ins are scheduled to open this Friday. The state has also approved churches having vehicle services in their parking lots. Tennis and other low-risk athletics are

School districts will be able to have commencement ceremonies at drive-ins, with attendees in vehicles only.

In brief: -The county began its testing of all nursing home residents recently, starting with Wingate at Beacon and the Pines at Poughkeepsie. One-hundred-four residents were tested at Wingate at Beacon, with 13 new cases of COVID-19 identified; 157 residents were tested at The Pines at Poughkeepsie with six new cases of COVID-19 identified. The majority of these 19 new cases of COVID-19 were asymptomatic and were only identified because of the County's testing initiative. The families of these residents were notified immediately, and the COVID-19 positive residents have been moved to secluded and secure areas of each facility to be cared for.

-The county's Department of Behavioral and Community Health (DCBH) public health staff has been working with staff at

the remaining 11 facilities to plan and prepare to safely test every individual.

Diagnostic kits are being assembled, packaged with appropriate quantity of PPE, and are being delivered to each remaining facility. Administration of tests to all residents originally was expected to be completed by the end of this week, but Molinaro said that the state has asked the county "to slow down" on the volume of tests.

-After Molinaro successfully lobbied New York State to provide testing for residents, the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) reversed its mandate that nursing home facilities accept incoming COVID-19 patients. Additionally, Gov. Cuomo has now mandated that all nursing home facility staff be tested twice per week or they will not be allowed to work.

Dutchess County is currently working with local nursing homes to advocate that New York State provide rapid testing for staff, and the county will continue to provide facilities with personal protective equipment (PPE).

-To date, there have been no cases of Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome in Dutchess County. The Department of Behavioral & Community Health issued a public health alert to health care providers regarding Pediatric MultiSystem Inflammatory Syndrome, including signs and symptoms as well as reporting procedures.

USS Roosevelt sends Memorial Day message I’m pleased to wish the residents of Ulster and Dutchess counties a “Happy Memorial Day” from the USS Roosevelt, now homeported in Rota, Spain! The ship completed two years of preparations underway and in port before making the final transition in Match of this year. Our first patrol of the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean operating area will commence this summer.

Though the global pandemic known as COVID-19 presented a number of challenges during the shift, I am pleased to report that all personnel onboard are safe and healthy. During these uncertain times, the Wardroom, Chief’s Mess and crew continue to relentlessly pursue the knowledge and training necessary to preserve freedom and democracy around the world. Though we cannot join you in Hyde Park today, we promise to continue in service as the “Arsenal of Democracy.”

Since the origin of our nation, Americans have uplifted freedom as the cornerstone of our character. The belief in unalienable rights is a creed we’re fiercely proud of and cling to tightly. Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of these values in terms of “the four freedoms”: freedom of speech, of worship, from want and from fear. Each of these tenets requires the ability to think and act without the threat, influence or presence of a

The USS Roosevelt controlling authority.

The United States has thoroughly enjoyed this unimpeded way of life; however, there have been nations, organizations and individuals who have challenged these principles since the country’s founding. These challenges were met by bold servicemen and -women who paid the ultimate price to secure the blessings of liberty for loved ones and their posterity.

Today, and always, we remember their sacrifices and honor their memory.

Capt. Matthew Molmer on behalf of the USS Roosevelt Editor’s note: The USS Roosevelt, named in honor of FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, is Dutchess County’s adopted ship.

Nuvance Health hospitals in New York resume elective surgeries and procedures Nuvance Health hospitals and ambulatory care centers in Carmel, Rhinebeck and Poughkeepsie, NY, are reopening for elective surgeries and endoscopy procedures starting today as the region observes a decrease in the rate of new COVID-19 infections and in accordance with Gov. Andrew Cuomo's executive order.

Staff at Northern Dutchess Hospital, Putnam Hospital and the Center for Ambulatory Services at Vassar Brothers Medical Center have been preparing for weeks to resume a limited number of elective surgeries and procedures starting with high-priority patients and those most acutely in need.

"Together as a community, our flexibility and perseverance are paying off. Our approach to COVID-19 was thoughtful, determined and

deliberate. In doing so, we were able to safely provide essential surgical care despite the pandemic around us," said Kerry Eaton, chief operating officer for Nuvance Health. "We are approaching resuming elective surgical care the same way: with thoughtful planning and a resolve to get this right. We will continue to keep the safety and well-being of our patients, their families and staff as top priorities as we resume these elective surgeries and procedures."

"Don't put your health on hold. We've put extensive measures in place to promote safety and the patient experience," said Dr. Jeffrey Nicastro, Nuvance Health's chair of surgery. "Our staff adheres to a comprehensive screening process for all patients, which will now include our procedural patients.

This includes safely and effectively provid-

ing care from arrival to the procedure and through discharge to home or to next-steps care. Our process ensures every step to resuming elective surgeries and procedures is seamless and safe."

One of Nuvance Health's most notable safety measures is mandatory COVID-19 testing for patients scheduled for a surgical procedure. Patients are required to have negative test results within two days of their procedure, and they must self-isolate and follow stringent safety precautions to avoid possible infection between testing and the procedure date itself. Other important points include: · Any patient who tests positive for a COVID-19 infection will be re-tested before elective surgery can be rescheduled. · The hospitals and ambulatory centers are

continuing visitor restrictions. · All facilities are employing stringent, CDC-based, enhanced cleaning and sterilization regimens and enforcing proper use of PPE (personal protective equipment). · Social distancing will be maintained in common areas, and all patients, visitors and staff must wear masks. · Any COVID-19 patients in the hospitals will be treated in a separate area. · Nuvance Health Virtual Visit care options are expanded to keep patients who don't need a face-to-face appointment out of the facilities.

Patients whose care was postponed are being contacted to schedule appointments.

For more information, they should contact their physician directly or visit nuvancehealth.org/safecare.

State COVID-19 update

State: Keep your social distance

By Kate Goldsmith "Come on in, the water's fine ‌ but keep your social distance."

That's the message from New York and neighboring states as they prepare to open beaches and lakes for Memorial Day weekend.

Acting on a commitment to coordinate regional policies in response to COVID19, Cuomo, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont and Delaware Gov. John Carney announced a multi-state agreement to reopen public and private beaches with certain restrictions in place effective Friday, May 22.

The restrictions include reducing the number of people allowed and ensuring there are enough staff present to enforce social distancing. Local beaches and lake shores may also open on Friday if they follow the same safety precautions.

"With Memorial Day weekend fast approaching and warmer weather on the way, we want to make sure New Yorkers and residents of our neighboring states are able to safely enjoy outdoor recreational activities," Cuomo said. "We have been coordinating with other states throughout this entire pandemic, and we have worked on an agreement allowing beaches to be open with proper social distancing and other public health protections in place so we can begin establishing a new normal without jeopardizing the progress we've already made."

On Friday, Cuomo announced that five regions in the state had met all the requirements to begin reopening: the Mohawk Valley, Central New York, Southern Tier, the North Country and the Finger Lakes. Under the "NY Forward" plan, this means retail stores can reopen for curbside pickup or in-store pickup.

Residential and commercial construction can resume, and so can manufacturing.

Greenhouses and nurseries can reopen, as can several other industries.

Every business is required to develop a written plan using a template provided by the state that puts the safety of their customers and employees first.

Officials will carefully monitor health data on a daily basis to ensure the safety of employees, customers and all New Yorkers.

All other regions continue under the "NY on Pause" initiative, which remains in effect until May 28. However, once a region achieves the benchmarks, it can begin to reopen immediately - it does not have to wait until May 28.

In addition, certain low-risk business and recreational activities have reopened

statewide as of May 15. This includes landscaping and gardening, low-risk outdoor recreational activities (like tennis) and drive-in movie theaters.

Regional "control rooms" have been announced to monitor key data during the reopening process. The groups will track the hospitalization rate, death rate, number of new hospitalizations, hospital bed capacity, ICU bed capacity, testing and contact tracing within its region. They will alert the state if any metrics go in the wrong direction - serving as a kind of control valve that will allow us to get people back to work and ease social isolation without triggering renewed spread of the virus or overwhelming the hospital system. To see how close the Mid-Hudson region is to begin reopening, visit https://forward.ny.gov/regional-monitoring-dashboard Cuomo noted, "As some regions begin the reopening phase, it bears repeating: The Coronavirus pandemic is not 'over.'

We are still seeing over 2,000 new cases on a daily basis. How quickly the state can reopen and how successful we are in this process depends on the efforts of all New Yorkers."

In brief: -The governor has directed hospitals statewide to prioritize COVID-19 testing for children displaying symptoms of multi-system inflammatory syndrome.

The state is currently investigating more than 100 reported cases in New York where children are experiencing a potentially COVID-related illness that has serious symptoms.

-Horse racing tracks across the state and Watkins Glen International Racetrack will be allowed to open without fans as of June 1. The state is expected to issue guidance on how they can safely reopen in the coming week.

-New York is able to conduct 40,000 tests a day. The state's diagnostic testing criteria have been expanded further to include: Any individual who has COVID-19 symptoms; Any individual who has had contact with a person known to be positive with COVID-19; Any individual who is subject to a precautionary or mandatory quarantine; Any individual who is employed as a health care worker, nursing home worker or first responder; Any essential worker who directly interacts with the public while working; Any individual who would return to the workplace in Phase 1 of the state's reopening plan.

-There are more than 700 locations

along the convoy’s route. For those families who live along the route, children are encouraged to paint and draw flags to be displayed in their windows, or on driveways.

Because of the COVID-19 global pandemic, most of the traditional Memorial Day celebrations have been cancelled or will not be open to

the public. Many municipalities, local VFW, and American Legion posts have chosen to hold private ceremonies to honor our servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as join the Memorial Day Convoy.

where New Yorkers can get diagnostic testing.

Visit coronavirus.health.ny.gov/find-test-sitenear-you ;enter your address to view a list and a map view of the nearest testing sites. Individuals wishing to be tested must always schedule an appointment by calling 1-888-364-3065 or their healthcare provider.

-New York State is partnering with CVS to bring testing to more than 60 CVS pharmacies across the state. Each site will be able to conduct 50 or more tests per day.

-Responding to various calls to better safeguard nursing home and assisted living facilities, the governor announced a new Executive Order that prohibits a hospital from discharging a patient to a nursing home until they test negative for COVID-19. The Order also requires employees of all nursing homes and adult care facilities, including all adult homes, enriched housing programs and assisted living residences to receive a diagnostic test for COVID-19 twice each week and requires the facility to report any positive results to the Department of Health within 24 hours. If an employee refuses to be tested, their health assessment will be considered out of date, prohibiting them from working until they agree to be tested.

"While we applaud Governor Cuomo's new testing directive to safeguard nursing home residents and staff, we will need significant assistance from State government to increase the availability of testing for skilled nursing and assisted living employees," said Stephen Hanse, president and CEO of the New York State Health Facilities Association and the New York State Center for Assisted Living (NYSHFA/ NYSCAL). "New York has 614 nursing homes with over 140,000 employees and roughly 500 assisted living facilities with over 45,000 employees.

As such, the Governor's Executive Order requires over 370,000 tests to be conducted every week. To date, the State has tested approximately 1.2 million individuals and this requirement will eclipse that total

in short order. Consequently, we are requesting the State to direct the supply and allocation of tests to providers and ensure that the test results can be processed in a timely manner. Moreover, providers need the State to ensure additional staff will be available to fill-in for infected employees."

State Sen. Sue Serino (R-Hyde Park) called for the state to offer more guidance to the facilities and utilize the National Guard to assist in testing and cleaning.

"Since day one, these facilities, which care for our most vulnerable, have been an afterthought to the state. Now, as the state scrambles to right its wrongs, instead of providing the necessary support these facilities need to protect residents, it decides instead to issue onerous mandates and punitive penalties, with no clear guidance on how they are expected to meet the directives," Serino said.

"These facilities are on the front lines of this pandemic. Instead of scapegoating, the state needs to step up and provide them with the same support it has given to other medical facilities during this time and ensure that they have access to staff and other resources they need to best protect the health of their residents."

To the Editor:

Shravah announces run for WCSD Board of Education

I would like to very humbly announce my candidacy for a trustee of Wappingers Board of Education. Most of you know that I have served on the Board of Education and you elected me as a top vote getter in 1992, 1995, and 1998, 2001 and served on the Wappingers Board of Education for a total of 19 years. I have served several times as Board President and Vice President. I also served on BOCES Board for six years.

I have three Masters Degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Education and a Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership. Besides serving on the Boards, I have taught at University, colleges, high schools, worked at the State Education Department As a Board member, I have always focused on children’s Education with minimum spending of tax dollars. Like many of you, I am also a senior citizen and understand the pain of paying ever increasing school taxes. We know that we are paying money for our future generations. But who is controlling the spending?

In the past with your vote and permission, I was able to support the 100% transportation of all students, replace the old transportation fleet and built 20 state of the art science laboratories in both high schools when the student population was increasing.

Now the student population is going down every year and there is no reason that we should increase our tax levy by 2% every year. In ten years, your taxes will increase by 22%, not 20%.

In a NINE-member Board, all nine members are supported by the Teachers Union, don’t we deserve one member representing us tax payers? If yes, please vote for someone you have trusted all these years.

This is very important year. Your ballots are coming to your home, you don’t even have to go to school to cast your vote. Please make sure that you cast your one vote for the person you have known and trusted for several years. Please cast your one vote for SHRAVAH. Together we will control spending and avoid wastage and make sure that your hardearned tax dollars are spent on Education of our future generation and not wasted on real estate and astronomical salaries.

Dr. Ved Shravah Candidate for WCSD Board of Education

NYS proven incompetent in medical care To the Editor: I will get straight to the point. Assembly Bill A99 is very bad. To summarize it succinctly, it proposes to give the Governor and those he delegates the right to put people and groups into medical prison based on suspicion of having a contagious disease that is dangerous in his opinion. Are not the current quarantine laws more than sufficient?

NYS government has already proved its incompetence in medical care with about half of the COVID-19 cases and deaths in the entire United States being in the New York City metropolitan area and its requirements that put COVID-19 patients into nursing homes with the old and medically compromised people. Its economic incompetence is clearly seen in their nearly arbitrary designation of what is and is not an "essential" business or entity.

Looked at the market shelves lately? Shortages are expanding to much more than just toilet paper. Government directed economies do not work for the benefit of the people entrapped in them. Would the Democrats be seeking such a bill if the Governor was a Republican who had the nature of President Trump?

Smythe sets pancake fundraiser to benefit HRH's VetZero program Karen Smythe, Democratic candidate for New York State Senate District 41, is hosting a virtual pancake breakfast fundraiser at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 24th, benefiting Poughkeepsie-based nonprofit VetZero.

Smythe is co-hosting the breakfast with Hudson River Housing and the event will feature remarks by Commander Tommy Zurhellen of Veteran of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 170 and a special pancake demonstration by Todd Poteet, formerly of the Art Effect.

Smythe said, "Pancake breakfasts are regular monthly occurrences at VFW posts. Unfortunately, COVID-19 is making in-person gatherings like this impossible. I wanted to find a way to still bring our veterans together, observe and honor Memorial Day safely, and raise funds for this important cause."

There is a suggested donation of $10 to

join. All funds raised will benefit Hudson River Housing's VetZero, a program dedicated to reducing the high rate of veteran homelessness and suicide to zero. In 2019, Commander Zurhellen walked 2,860 miles across the country to raise money and bring awareness to the issue.

Commander Tommy Zurhellen said, "Memorial Day gives us an opportunity to remember and honor our veterans who have passed, especially those who gave their lives for our freedom. Thank you to Karen Smythe for recognizing our local veterans here in Dutchess County and for supporting our work at VetZero with a very special Memorial Day Pancake Breakfast."

Smythe said, "Todd Poteet is going to make a special batch of red, white, and blue pancakes. Join me to learn how to make these delicious pancakes and support an important cause!"

County Development Administrator Saylor receives Hudson River Housing’s Community Builder Award Hudson River Housing Inc. (HRH) honored Anne Saylor, Community Development Administrator with the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development, with its 2020 Community Builder Award at the nonprofit organization’s “An Evening at Home” virtual fundraising event on Wednesday evening.

Having worked for the Department of Planning and Development for 31 years, Saylor currently oversees the county’s administration of federal initiatives such as the HOME Investment Partnerships program, which funds a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership; the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which provides annual grants to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income individuals; and the Continuum of Care, which provides direct rental assistance to homeless, low-income individuals.

County Executive Marc Molinaro said, “There is no greater proponent for affordable housing and expanding opportunities to help Dutchess County residents find permanent homes than Anne Saylor.

Countless residents throughout our community have the affordable housing options our County has worked to make available to them, and many now live in units we worked tirelessly to bring to Dutchess County. Every resident of every income level deserves safe and affordable housing, and the residents of Dutchess

County can thank Anne for her passion for expanding those opportunities and providing more options for residents in search of quality housing.”

Earlier this year, announced more than $2 million in CDBG and Home grant awards to local municipalities and nonprofit organizations, including more than $1 million for housing projects throughout the County. Saylor, among others, reviews the CDBG and HOME program applications and makes recommendations to the County Executive for funding.

Saylor said, “I thank Hudson River Housing for this recognition, though providing safe, quality and affordable housing options for the residents of Dutchess County is its own reward. Under the guidance of County Executive Molinaro and Planning and Development Commissioner Eoin Wrafter, our department has been given the direction and resources to work to grow the County’s stock of affordable housing, resulting in even more residents being able to move into units in which to live and raise their families. Our community can be proud of the strides made to benefit residents in search of affordable housing, and I appreciate Hudson River Housing’s acknowledgement of those efforts.”

By Rich Thomaselli Almost three months after a fire devastated a residential/retail building at 10 Market Street in the Village of Wappingers Falls, there has still been no determination of cause

by Dutchess County, which is leading the investigation.

Village Mayor Matt Alexander confirmed over the weekend that neither he nor Village Fire Chief Adam Van Tassel have received a report from the county as to the official cause of the February 25 fire. Van Tassel has said previously that the fire originated outside the building.

The tragedy displaced more than 30 resi-

dents on the second and third floors of the building, as well as four businesses on the ground floor. The structure, which dates back to the 1880s, was demolished in the wake of the fire. One of those businesses, Mario's Sandwich Shop, will not return.

But Alexander said he has spoken with building owner Jeffrey Knipe - by phone, thanks to the coronavirus - and Knipe has assured him he still intends to rebuild on the site.

"He's meeting with construction contractors and is going to come back to us in the fall," Alexander said.

County awards $72,000 to libraries to bridge digital divide Dutchess County Executive Marcus J. Molinaro recently announced $72,015 in funding has been awarded to 11 libraries through a special allocation to the County’s Agency Partner Grant (APG) program. The funding awarded through this grant is specifically aimed at bridging the digital divide and addressing technology barriers to literacy, early reading, literacy for those seeking jobs and English as a Second Language (ESL).

Funding for “Dutchess Reads: Bridging the Digital Divide” was made available by the County Legislature through the 2020 budget process. The Legislature recognized the wide range of services provided by public libraries and the financial constraints associated with maintaining and advancing their offerings, while keeping up with demographic transformations and technological advances.

Molinaro said, “Today more than ever, as we maneuver through the uncharted territory of the COVID-19 pandemic, we see the importance technology has on our ability to learn, work and remain connected to one another. This grant will, in part, expand access to the internet to 63 households through hotspot lending programs that will be made available throughout the county. We thank the Dutchess County Legislature for its forward thinking to make this funding available to help residents of all ages enhance their lives by expanding access to the internet.”

The “Dutchess Reads: Bridging the Digital Divide” awards are as follows: Amenia Free Library Association -

$5,500 to purchase two (2) tablets with an early literacy software program targeted for children ages 2-8, featuring more than 4,000 fun, interactive and engaging learning activities to expand knowledge in math, science and nature, social studies and geography, reading, art and music, and writing and computer skills.

Beekman Library - $6,100 to purchase five laptops and portable wireless hotspots so residents can develop digital literacy skills and proficiency to search and apply for employment, further education and access other enrichment information and activities.

Blodgett Memorial Library - $11,000 to purchase Hoopla, a digital media service with hundreds of thousands of movies, music, audio books, eBooks, comics, periodicals and TV shows, available for streaming or download to residents with a library card.

East Fishkill Community Library $5,000 to purchase five iPads, five laptops and two charging stations to expand access of digitally based in-library programming for children ages 5-17 and expansion of home access by making laptops and iPads available by loan.

Grinnell Public Library District $4,000 to purchase four desktop computers and one printer to replace the antiquated hardware in the Children's Room, which is also used by home schoolers seeking educational resources and teens who lack access at home to complete homework assignments, work on projects and collaborate with peers.

Northeast-Millerton Library - $5,301 to expand internet access and build tech-

nology knowledge by purchasing three (3) hotspots and three laptops to circulate to children to ensure access to remote education and to broaden career exploration access to adult residents.

Pawling Free Library - $1,220 to replace the antiquated wireless hardware infrastructure to provide continuous uninterrupted wireless service to all library patrons, in all areas of the library.

Pine Plains Free Library - $1,200 to initiate and advertise a pay-per-use model of Hoopla, a digital media service with hundreds of thousands of movies, music, audio books, eBooks, comics, periodicals and TV shows are available for streaming or download, available to residents with a library card.

Poughkeepsie Public Library District - $27,039 to purchase fourteen (14) iPad Airs and accessories to promote early literacy by encouraging reading and other interactive digital learning programs for children ages 2-5; and partner with the Poughkeepsie City School District (PCSD) by adding and making early reader content to the eBook catalog accessible through Sora, an application designed to link school and public library activities, and fund the Wi-Fi network connection to fifty (50) donated hotspots that will allow PCSD students the ability to engage in distance learning.

Tivoli Free Library - $675 to purchase five hotspots for loan to patrons,

which will allow them the ability to borrow laptops so they can gain complete access to the internet at home.

County Legislature Chairman Gregg Pulver said, “During last year’s budget process, I offered this grant as an amendment because I understood the importance of increasing internet, computer and remote reading opportunities.

In these trying times, these grants couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Libraries offer a wide range of services and resources to community members of all ages, which include the availability of physical and virtual materials, literacy and children’s programs, parenting classes, free computer use, Wi-Fi and internet access, homework help and research resources, job skill training opportunities and more. Libraries also act as learning centers and catalysts to encourage reading and promote learning and literacy while advancing economic opportunity for community members seeking to overcome barriers to literacy so they can enhance the skills needed to locate, sustain and advance employment opportunities.

Though many libraries are closed during the pandemic, many are still connecting with local residents, offering online programming for users of all ages, including access to resources such as e-books, audio books, video streaming, magazines and even virtual story time.

More information about the Agency Partnership Grant program is available on the Department of Planning and Development website via www.dutchessny.gov .

By Donna Lenhart So far, four local musicians have each played a concert for our Facebook page. First up was Bryan Lammers, then Chris Propfe, then Jenn Propfe and rounding out the concerts (so far) was Paul Coleman. Each brought their own style to entertain the residents of Wappinger. If you’d like to showcase your musical talents on our Facebook page, please contact Jessica at jfulton@townofwappingerny.gov.

We are now in week 9 of ‘pause’, and hopefully by now, you’ve all gotten into a new, temporary, ‘normal’. It seems there may finally be light at the end of this long, strange tunnel, so stay positive!

Something that will help is to make sure you get some daily fresh air, even if it’s just sitting on your porch – it truly makes a difference in how you feel. If you have

a yard, a porch or patio, try planting some vegetable and/or flower plants that you like. There is something very calming and restorative in working the earth. Plus, if you plant veggies, you’ll soon have wonderful, fresh produce right at your doorstep.

We know that we’re all in this together and the majority of us have been doing our part to keep ourselves, families, friends and the larger community safe. We thank you for that. Let’s all continue to wear our masks, wash our hands, social distance (six feet) and sanitize surfaces. Be a good neighbor and leave some groceries and necessities on the shelf for the next person.

Remember, this virus isn’t breaking us, it’s making us stronger. Meanwhile, be kind, be patient and take care of each other.

By Bill Green We're hoping to get Red Wing Park open by July 1. Our regular seven-week Children's Summer Camp will not be able to function this summer as it has the past forty years. The possibility of a scaleddown, low-enrollment camp that will not have trips and many of the usual sports activities is being discussed. Please follow this column for an update.

Although it has not been finalized, it appears all sports activities (leagues, pickup games, tournaments, etc.) at the Rec Park will not be taking place this summer.

The many necessary restrictions being advised will make it very difficult to run most of our summer activities and programs. Please continue to follow this column for updated information regarding all activities and check our website www.eastfishkillrecreation.com.

The Friday, June 19 concert at the Hopewell Rec with the Hudson Valley Council Band has been canceled. At this time we still do not know the status of our July and August summer outdoor concerts. Again please follow this column or contact us for updates.

All May, June, July and August bus trips, including those scheduled by the Senior Citizens, have been canceled. Refunds for the canceled April trip to see "Tina" on Broadway hopefully will arrive this week.

While the Community Center remains closed, the Dutchess County Office of the Aging Nutrition Program will continue to provide meals for those in their program.

Many thanks to all those volunteers assisting with this program. With the East Fishkill Community Center closed, all activities scheduled for May and probably June (meetings, activities, rentals, Senior Citizen Program) have been canceled. No future rentals will be booked at this time.

Please call 226-8395 daily or check our website for updated information on our many summer programs and activities including new registration information.

The tennis courts and pickleball courts are open and available for play.

For updated information on all East Fishkill Recreation activities and events follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/efrecreation or send emails to recreation1@eastfishkillny.org.

Continue to STAY SAFE!

WMCHealth physicians resume office visits in Dutchess

Remembering a local sailor Continued from page 1

a man that lived life the right way.

Treating people with respect and doing what he thought was right. We are all so proud of him, but there's a tremendous hole in our lives, as I'm sure anyone that has lost a parent knows."

Indeed, Carlo was just "one of those kinds of guys, a good guy," Tom said.

He grew up during the Great Depression and actually quit school after his junior year of high school, ostensibly to help support the family, but he actually ended up enlisting in the Navy.

Underage.

Tom laughs and says, "They didn't check a lot back then."

Serving his country during World War II was extraordinarily important to Carlo.

"He was very proud of it,” Tom said.

"He was a gunner. He got upset when he came back to the U.S. for his final few weeks and they made him a fireman. But he was in the campaign. He was part of that Greatest Generation. It took him to places to the point where he swam in every ocean in the world."

Carlo was originally from the Bronx, and it was there that he met the love of his life, Vivian. Theirs was a love story for the ages. Carlo worked in an old bar down there, the Elm Tree, and he met Vivian nearby at a bus stop.

The family moved to Wappingers Falls in 1969, but Carlo continued his job in the Bronx and commuted every day. No matter where, it was a beautiful love story.

"She died young," Tom said. "It was 2002. She was only 65. In the 18 years since, he went to the cemetery every week."

Last month, Carlo joined Vivian. At 93, he squeezed every bit out of life.

"While there are many things we as

Americans and New Yorkers disagree on, respect, admiration and love of our veterans are nearly universal values," Lalor said. "WWII veterans in particular hold a special place in our hearts. This was a life well-lived."

Carlo is survived by his sons Anthony (Lonnie) of Port Orange Florida, Thomas (Carol) of Wappingers Falls and Carlo of Narragansett, Rhode Island. His grandchildren Nicole, Brianna, Leah, Alyssa, Gina, Tommy, Carlo and Corey. His great grandchildren Brittany, Victor, Ethan and Owen, and his great great grandson Caspian. Predeceased by his brothers and sister, he is survived by his sister Marion Morra and her husband Guy of Georgia, and his brother and sister in-law Louise and Joe Castagna of North Carolina. In addition, he leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

WMCHealth and WMCHealth Physicians/Advanced Physician Services announced that regular office hours resumed at its medical practice offices in Dutchess, Ulster, and Delaware counties.

New York State is allowing for resumption of medical practice visits based on the status of coronavirus impact, including a drop in COVID-19 cases, in specific counties.

This return to regular office hours for medical practices closely follows last week’s resumption of outpatient ambulatory procedures and testing.

Next steps for individuals who receive their primary, or specialty, medical care, from medical practices in these counties: • Medical practice offices are contacting patients who are due for follow up care.

• Patients who earlier rescheduled an office visit for routine care, such as an annual physical, will receive an appointment reminder, and should feel free to call their providers office if they need to adjust their appointment date.

• Patients who need an appointment can call their providers office or temporary call center at 1-833-329-0095 for convenient transfer to a provider’s office. Medical practices will schedule an office appointment as quickly as possible or offer an appointment through telehealth (video) or phone if that is more convenient for the patient.

• Individuals who are not established with a provider, or who need to see a new provider for any reason, can call 1-833329-0095 for connection to an area medical practice.

Our care teams have the training, equipment, and capability to provide care safely – for patients and for each member of the workforce. Each patient can be assured that all CDC guidelines are met or exceeded when it comes to the use of personal protective equipment, according to WMCHealth.

Additionally, special COVID-19 cleaning protocols were developed for medical practice offices, hospitals and surgery centers.

WMCHealth Physicians Medical Practices are following these safety protocols for patients and its workforce: • Patients will be screened for COVID-19 exposure and symptoms during appointment making/follow up calls. Patients will be asked if they have tested positive for the coronavirus, as well as if they are experi-

encing symptoms including fever, cough, malaise, shortness of breath, sore throat, diarrhea. Patients will also be asked if they have been exposed to someone who has had coronavirus – or, any symptoms of it.

• Only patients with a confirmed appointment may enter a medical practice office.

Support person entry is limited to those patients who require assistance.

• Upon arrival, patients are asked to call the office so that the staff can advise when to enter. Once inside an office, patients will see changes, including social distancing signage on chairs in waiting areas, and wait/stop here signage on the floors.

Additionally, some offices may stagger hours or use other approaches to limit the number of people inside the practice at any given time.

• All patients, staff and approved visitors are always required to wear a mask. Direct caregivers will wear additional PPE during a physical exam.

• Employees will be screened for symptoms, including fever, each day.

• Exam rooms will be disinfected between each patient and sanitized every evening.

Outpatient surgeries and testing resumed last week at MidHudson Regional Hospital and HealthAlliance Hospital. While each patient previously scheduled for an outpatient procedure is being called to reschedule, individuals can feel free to initiate rescheduling by contacting their surgeon’s office. Affiliated physicians are welcome to call WMCHealth surgery practices to discuss a patient who will be rescheduled for a procedure, or to make a new referral. Go to midhudsonregional.org or hahv.org for more detail on scheduling elective outpatient ambulatory procedures and tests.

Emergency and urgent care have continued without deferral throughout the pandemic, regardless of a patient’s infection status. Any individual with new or concerning symptoms or a change in health status should not wait for care and should call their primary physician’s office or come to an emergency room. The health and wellbeing of our community, our patients and our workforce is our number one priority.

We have taken extraordinary measures to protect our patients and our workforce, and to ensure that all our care environments are safe.

‘Pandemic CANdemic Relief Mobilization’ to benefit Dutchess Outreach

By Kristine Coulter Foreign Car Specialists in Poughkeepsie is teaming up with the Poughkeepsie Galleria to help those affected by COVID-19. The “Pandemic CANdemic Relief Mobilization” effort is scheduled for Saturday, May 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will take place in the north end of the Poughkeepsie Galleria parking lot (which is near Macy’s and JC Penney). Drivers and passengers do not get out of their vehicles.

Kate Fakler, General Manager of the Poughkeepsie Galleria, said she and Lisa Eckler, Foreign Car Specialist in Poughkeepsie, wanted to do something to help the community.

“Lisa launched this creative “drive” theme that will hopefully compel the community to “drive” into action by donating food, encourages the local car clubs to show off their coolest “wheels”, and supports local food “trucks”,” explained Fakler.

Organizers are hoping the theme will assist with the community coming out to donate non-perishable items will be collected for Dutchess Outreach programs.

To donate non-perishable items, drivethrough and donate.

Local car clubs can participate in what organizers are calling a ‘micro-sized car cruise’ where drivers may show off their cars by lapping the parking lot.

“Everyone has been affected by COVID-19 in some way; businesses are closed, schools are closed, churches are closed; it is still so surreal. A very good friend lost her father to the disease and I think every day about the people who could not and still cannot be with their loved ones in the hospitals, who are burying their family with no in person gathering. The loss of what every family is going through on some level is profound,” Fakler remarked.

Fakler said she hopes the event will collect thousands of non-perishables for Dutchess Outreach.

“The food drive will benefit Dutchess Outreach which feeds hundreds of families a

day through their programs,” she noted.

Food trucks from local operators will be on site providing 1950s-style “car hop” service, with music provided by iHeart Media.

“I know that many people want to do ‘something’ but they’re not sure what to do, or it may seem too big an undertaking to take something on by themselves, they don’t need to. Come volunteer for the day, drop off a food donation … or monetary donation, support the local food operators that will be on-site with food-trucks providing ‘50s style car-hop service, lighten the heavy burden by working together” remarked Fakler.

Camey will not bring back Mario's, returns to Heritage

By Rich Thomaselli Frank Camey, one of the most popular and celebrated chefs in the Hudson Valley, is going home.

Camey, whose Mario's Sandwich Shop was destroyed in the Feb. 25 fire in the Village of Wappingers Falls, has decided not to rebuild and reopen the deli and instead will return to Heritage Food & Drink in Wappingers where he was Executive Chef.

Camey, a 2006 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, was named "Best Chef of the Hudson Valley"

in 2019 by Hudson Valley Magazine. He is known for his inventive, eclectic and healthy creations.

In addition to making the big move, Camey was also scheduled to appear on the Food Network's "Chopped" show on Tuesday, May 19, competing to win $10,000.

In a press release, the Network said "Low-calorie chips and some leafy greens inspire creativity in the first round. After opening the entree basket, the chefs are left pondering whether avocado-free guacamole is yucky or yummy. Finally, light

desserts are a tall order, and the remaining

chefs try to measure up."

Be aware – scams still out there

By Kristine Coulter Captain John Watterson, Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, said, “ I wouldn’t say that there’s any particular ranking, but the most common scams out there right now appear to be those that exploit people’s emotions and fears about coronavirus to get money.

Examples would be fake CDC (Centers for Disease Control) emails claiming to offer information on the virus or those infected, and fake emails asking you to verify personal information in order to receive money from the government. There have also been cases in which phishing emails have claimed to offer fake testing kits, fake cures and/or vaccines, or fake financial relief.”

The East Fishkill Police Department (EFPD) notified residents that it has received reports of scam artists posing as local credit unions in an effort to obtain financial and personal identification information. “We urge everyone to strongly consider what

information is provided over the phone and remind you that you can always hang up and call your financial institution on a verified number,” states the Facebook post.

The EFPD recommends that one is familiar with the banks’ policies.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to offer the following tips for people to avoid these types of scams: •Do not meet up with someone that you don’t know; if you’re asked to do this it is surely a scam, and it is very dangerous as well.

•If you’re contacted by someone you don’t know asking for money, for any reason, that’s a signal that it’s most likely a scam.

•If someone calls you and tells you that a relative has been hurt or is in jail, confirm it first before sending any money. Call other relatives or a legitimate law enforcement agency for confirmation before any money is sent. If they’re posing as a relative, try and

contact that relative for confirmation.

•Sending money overseas is especially risky; use extreme caution.

•Ask the person for their call back number and ask to speak to their supervisor to confirm the info; if it’s a scam they will most likely hang up at this point and the number they give you will be bogus.

•If the person is telling you that a loved one is in the hospital or jail, find out which one and contact the institution yourself to confirm.

•If a loved one has recently passed away be wary; in some cases perpetrators have even preyed on victims by searching through the obituaries and calling surviving loved ones. If you get calls from people you don’t know soon after someone passes away, be careful and confirm it before you send any money.

•In some cases someone will call and tell the victim that they’ve won money, but to

“process the claim” they need to first send money. Beware this is most definitely a scam and don’t send any money – you should never have to pay money to claim a prize. If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is.

•If there’s any doubt about a phone call you’ve received contact the Sheriff’s Office before sending any money.

Watterson also noted it is very important to not send any money to anyone that you don’t know until you’ve confirmed the situation through an independent source and feel comfortable with it. If it’s a scam once the money is sent it’s very difficult, and most times impossible, to get it back.

If anyone thinks they may have been the victim of a scam they are encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 845-486-3800 or via the tipline at 845-605-CLUE or dcsotips@gmail.com.

Artist wants paintings to offer hope during pandemic

Oil paintings of the Walkway Over the Hudson and the New York City skyline during the COVID-19 pandemic by Hyde Park artist Rose Gennaro.

By Kristine Coulter Hyde Park resident Rose Gennaro has put her feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic into her artwork. “I love the Hudson Valley and New York City and was inspired to paint two oil paintings depicting both during the coronavirus. The NYC painting represents the strength of New York and its perseverance, even during the hardest of times. I wanted this to be an inspiration to people and to elicit a feeling of hope and faith during this challenging time,� explained Gennaro.

Gennaro said she has been creating artwork since she was 17. In high school, she said, she realized she had “a talent and

a gift.�

This, however, is the first time she has been putting her feelings of what is happening during a current event into her artwork. “I usually paint from photographs I take myself,� Gennaro stated. She then goes home and paints what she captured using her photographs as inspirations.

Gennaro, who knows approximately 8 people who have been afflicted by COVID19, painted the Walkway Over the Hudson historic site in Poughkeepsie. “When it got bad (the pandemic) and we (New York) became the epicenter, is when I decided to use the Walkway as a reference,� remarked Gennaro.

She explained, “The sky itself is very dark and ominous, which reflected what we were all feeling. I wanted to show a glimmer of light and hope with the light in the painting, as well as a solitary person walking on the Walkway to show our isolation.�

Gennaro said after she painted the Walkway, she had “a strong urge� to paint a second scene – this time depicting New York City during the coronavirus. “I saw in my mind the NYC skyline with the Statue of Liberty rising up behind the buildings and bigger than everything else.

The sky was to show the coronavirus, but in this painting, I visualized more light breaking through,� remarked Gennaro.

For that painting, Gennaro used photographs she had taken of New York City on previous trips. “I painted the skyline first, because I needed to see that on the canvas before I could visualize the sky. I painted the sky from two photographs I had taken previously also, and then blended them into one using my intuition. The entire painting is about what I want to say, which shows the coronavirus in the dark clouds, but the light is driving it out. I also wanted it to represent the uncanny resilience that NYC is known for – and that it will triumph and be victorious despite the great darkness that has had it in its grip,� she noted.

Learning how to swim With his uncle’s help, Luigi does more than dip his toe into the water.

When I was little we had a swimming pool in our backyard. I remember swimming with a giant orange life-vest on. I would paddle all around and I thought I was cool. I could swim anywhere in the pool I wanted, whether it be the deep end or the shallow end, because I had my giant orange life-vest on.

One day we had a family party, and everyone came over. Aunts, uncles, cousins, it was a full house. Pop was grilling lemon mint chicken on the Weber grill. Mom and her sisters were putting salads and homemade wine on the long picnic tables in the back yard. Uncles and cousins were playing bocce.

I was excited to show everyone how I was able to swim. I started hinting that we should all go swimming; and by hinting I mean incessantly asking, can we go swimming. Finally my mother relented and told everyone to go jump in the pool before dinner. I took off like a jack rabbit sprinting to the pool. I put on my giant orange life-vest in no time and jumped into the pool. Proudly I paddled my way around the pool, showing off how I could swim with my giant orange life-vest. Looking, I am sure, like a proud little poodle. Arms and legs frantically churning under water.

My head sticking out from my giant orange life-vest.

My uncle, seeing how well I was doing, reached down and grabbed me by my giant orange life-vest and pulled me out.

“Ima gonna teach you how to swim sensa (without) the vesta” he told me.

I was so excited that I was quickly graduating to the next level. I was sure that no one ever advanced so quickly. I was sure that I was going to be an Olympic swimmer. I quickly took off my vest ready for the next step in my swimming education.

“Youa ready?” he asked me. I just nodded my head, ready for my lesson. I turned around to see all of my cousins looking at me with smiles on their faces.

Wait, that wasn’t a smile. They were all holding in laughter. Why were they all looking at me that way? I was going to be the next great Olympic swimmer. They shouldn’t laugh at me.

I turned back to my uncle with a look of anger. I looked up to him as he reached out and grabbed me by the arms. It was in that split second that I realized that all my cousins were taught to swim the same way. It was also in that split second that I realized how my lesson was going to be conducted. I also realized that I was flying in the air into the deep end. Somehow I knew enough to hold my nose and my breath as I hit the water.

It's funny how when you’re underwater how quiet and still everything is. It’s rather peaceful. I could see everyone’s legs and all the different colored swim suits. As I started to float up, my legs and arms started paddling just like they did with my life vest on. When I broke the

surface of that water, I had that feeling of fear, excitement, relief and pride all at once. I started to laugh and cry at the same time and everyone started to cheer. I was swimming all by myself.

I looked up to my uncle, and he was cheering louder than everyone else. He was yelling “Forza, forza!”

It’s funny, today you go to swimming lessons, skiing lessons, riding lessons, karate lessons, bicycle lessons, dance lessons, etc. When we were kids we were just thrown into the pool.

Enjoy this recipe for grilled lemon mint chicken. Buon Appetitto!

Lemon Mint Chicken Ingredients: 8-10 pieces of chicken drums and thighs 1 cup olive oil Zest from one lemon 1 cup lemon juice 10 fresh mint leaves 5 garlic cloves 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon oregano 1/4 teaspoon ground rosemary 1 cup white wine Method: In a food processor or blender, place the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, mint

leaves, garlic cloves and sugar and blend till creamy.

In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, oregano and rosemary.

Rub each piece of chicken with the spice mixture and place in a roasting pan.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, wrap in plastic, and let sit over night or at least 12 hours.

Light your grill and close the lid to make sure it reaches a high temperature (500 degrees if you are checking).

Place the chicken, skin side down, and let it grill for 5 minutes. Remove and place in the marinade and grill the other side for 5 more minutes.

Repeat the process for each side again.

Turn off the grill and let sit for another 5 minutes on the grill before serving.

Serve with a nice Pinot Grigio.

Flu pandemic of 1918 brings comparisons to COVID-19

by Myra Young Armstead Dutchess County Historical Society The COVID-19 pandemic invites comparisons with a similar 20th-century worldwide plague. Just over 100 years ago, the influenza epidemic of 1918 was a global scourge killing approximately 50 million people in a one-year period.

Actually, the number of fatalities can only be estimated and ranged from 20 to 100 million, because no one kept official records. Still, these figures are staggering.

Most scholars agree that were three waves of the disease, (perhaps caused by different strains of the virus) - Spring 1918, Fall 1918 and Winter 1919 - but some add a fourth that touched even previously untouched Scandinavia in 1920.

The first was relatively mild and limited in geographical reach, while the middle two were far more virulent and global in their deadly results.

The question of origins is still a puzzle for historians of science, but almost cerIt was front-page news that Franklin Roosevelt, then tainly conditions in World War I activated the assistant Secretary of the Navy, had contracted the descendants of flu strains present flu. He, of course, recovered. Photo courtesy of throughout the world from earlier, less Dutchess County Historical Society brutal influenza pandemics in 1847 and

1889, and the outbreak may have been linked to avian flu and/or swine flu, which were unknown to scientists in 1918.

The history of this pandemic allows us to reflect on public perceptions of disease, factors contributing to the spread of disease, and which populations are hardest hit by epidemics despite their undiscriminating expanse.

Then, as now, medical advice warned about the extreme contagiousness of the disease and stressed social distancing.

People were warned to avoid shaking hands, to cover their mouths with masks, to remain indoors, to avoid touching library books, and not to spit in public.

Large assemblies were stopped in infected army camps, and schools and theaters closed. Then as now, in the absence of a cure, scammers rushed to fill a desperate public’s need by advertising and selling bogus, unscientific remedies.

In Dutchess County, the Poughkeepsie Eagle News carried stories about a local pastor who contracted influenza while accompanying a contingent of local army volunteers by train to Camp Wheeler in Georgia and about local defiance of the order from Beacon’s Commissioner of

Public Safety to close all that city’s saloons.

There were complaints of boredom, about the closing of theaters, but none about the closing of churches. The paper carried appeals to county residents to join the local Red Cross in a mask-producing effort for the army camps. The newspaper also provided ostensibly expert overviews of the disease and treatments; as well as ads for questionable “Influenza Preventatives.”

There were, of course, many items on individuals struck by the disease—those who died and those in recovery—but admirably, there were reassuring articles reminding citizens that despite its pervasiveness, the pandemic offered “No Occasion For Panic.”

Contrary to what we are witnessing with the current COVID-19 pandemic, the first wave of the 1918 influenza epidemic seemed to begin in America’s heartland, concentrated especially in army camps, rather than in coastal cities, and the press was relatively sluggish in picking up on the story. continued on page 4

Arlington National: Final resting place of heroes

by Jim Donick America’s heroes are buried all over the globe, some where they fell, others long after their service to their country.

Many are buried in cemeteries maintained by a grateful government. Overseas, those cemeteries and memorials are taken care of by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). In the United States they are mostly the responsibility of the Department of the Army. Those cemeteries on American soil number 147. The nearest to Dutchess County is in Saratoga Springs.

The best known national cemetery is Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, outside Washington, D.C. Some national cemeteries, especially Arlington, contain the graves of important civilian leaders and other important national figures. President Kennedy and his wife are buried at Arlington, as is the grave of the Unknown Soldier. A few national cemeteries also contain sections for Confederate soldiers.

The national cemetery at

Arlington was established during the Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, which had been the estate of Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s wife, Mary Anna Custis Lee (a great-granddaughter of Martha Washington). There was gossip at the time that the Union chose this site with the idea that they should “bury Union soldiers in Robert E. Lee’s front garden.”

Arlington became a segregated cemetery, just like all national cemeteries at the time, and remained segregated by race and rank until 1948.

Among the most revered on the grounds of the Cemetery are the Medal of Honor recipients.

Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place for many Medal of Honor recipients from conflicts ranging from the Indian Wars of the 19th century to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Arlington National Cemetery covers over 600 acres of rolling land across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. It is currently closed due to the COVID19 pandemic.

Medal of Honor recipients

Our nation’s highest military honor is often referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor. It was originally created by several acts of Congress. In fact, it is formally and simply - the Medal of Honor.

The initial congressional authorization for the medal happened during the American Civil War. That first authorization, on December 9, 1861, was targeted specifically at the Navy. Two months later, a similar bill authorized the medal for the Army as well. The Air Force, only created as a separate branch in 1947, was authorized in 1956.

More than 400 Medal of Honor recipients are represented at Arlington National Cemetery, ranging from the Civil War to current conflicts.

There are many famous recipients of the Medal of Honor there. Perhaps the most

famous recipient buried at Arlington is Audie Murphy.

He received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. He went on to a career in the movies, including playing himself in a biographic movie, “To Hell and Back.”

He died in a plane crash in 1971 shortly before his 46th birthday.

There are many more recipients of the Medal buried at Arlington, who are much less well known, but whose heroism was no less inspiring.

An early Navy recipient was Gustav Adolf Sundquist. Very few have heard of him, though he served in two wars.

A Spanish-American War Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient, he served in the U.S. Navy during the War with Spain as an Ordinary Seaman on board the “USS Nashville.” He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery during the operation of cutting the cable leading from Cienfuegos, Cuba, on May 11, 1898. His citation reads “Facing the heavy fire of the enemy, Sundquist displayed extraordinary bravery and coolness throughout this action.” His Medal was awarded on November 1, 1899.

He retired from the Navy in 1900, but reenlisted in the Naval Reserves in 1918 to serve in World War I. He was drowned off the coast of France. His memorial at

portray heroism in the line of battle Arlington is “In Memory Of” as his remains were never recovered.

An Army recipient from World War II is Lieutenant Tom Wigle. Prior to enlisting, Thomas Wigle was a concert violinist with the Kansas City Philharmonic.

On September 14, 1944, in Monte Frassino, Italy, 2nd Lt. Wigle assumed command of the 3rd Platoon that was attempting to seize a strongly fortified hill position. He led his men over three stone walls under heavy fire and then singlehandedly drove the enemy from the house they were holding through two more houses as they retreated and, finally, was mortally wounded on the cellar stairs of the third house. Wigle was 35 years old.

A third recipient served in the Civil War in a segregated unit, designated “U.S. Colored Troops.”

Twenty-five African-American soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for service in the American Civil War. Considering the number who served, that is a high percentage, reflecting their gallantry and heroism.

One of the first honored was Sergeant James H. Harris, from Saint Mary’s County, Maryland. (Maryland was a border state during the Civil War.) Harris worked as a farmer before joining the U.S. Army at age 36. He enlisted on February 14, 1864, as a private in Company B of the 38th United States Colored Troops (USCT) regiment. He was promoted to corporal five months later, on July 25, and to sergeant two months after that, on September 10. He was a natural leader of men.

At the Battle of Chaffin’s Farm, on September 29, 1864, Harris’ regiment was

among a division of black troops assigned to attack the center of the Confederate defenses at New Market Heights. The defenses consisted of two lines of abatis (felled tree trunks with sharpened ends pointing outwards) and one line of palisades manned by Brigadier General John Gregg’s Texas Brigade.

The attack was met with intense Confederate fire; over 50 percent of the black troops were killed, captured or wounded. The initial attack stalled at the abatis, but when a renewed effort began, Harris and two other men of the 38th USCT

ran at the head of the assault. Being the first to breach the defenses, the three soldiers engaged the Confederates in hand-to-hand combat. They were soon joined by the remainder of their division, and the

Confederate force was routed.

Over seven years later, on February 18, 1874, he was issued the Medal of Honor for “Gallantry in the assault” at Chaffin’s Farm.

Harris died at the approximate age of 69.

Thomas Wigle received the Medal of Honor for leading a platoon in Monte Frassino, Italy in 1944.

Flu pandemic of 1918 brings comparisons to COVID-19 continued from page 1

In late March of 1918, for instance, using federal sources, the Grand Forks [ND] Herald noted a rise in pneumonia and influenza cases, but headlined that “epidemic sicknesses are declining.” Similarly, the Oregonian announced in a most matterof-fact way, “Mumps and influenza prevail in many National Army camps and some measles and meningitis are reported.” In retrospect, newspapers were relatively more concerned with an increase in cases of influenza in horses in early March.

By early April, however, reports appeared of a “mysterious epidemic” affecting three hundred schoolchildren in Mexico, Missouri; 30 inmates and 10 guards in the Wayne County, Michigan jail; Wayne County clerks and court attachés working in the county government building; and Ford factory workers in the Detroit area.

Journalists revealed that a “nuplerious malady” “hits Duluth hard,” confining hundreds to their beds and crippling businesses.

Emergency hospitals were set up at several churches and at the Masonic Temple on Cannon Street, shown here. It is estimated that there were 220 flu pandemic deaths in Poughkeepsie in 1918. There has been no calculation for the deaths that occurred outside of Poughkeepsie. It was reported that Beacon had fewer deaths because it acted quicker to close theaters, churches and public venues.

Although the “flurry of influenza” at Camp Custer in Battle Creek was simplistically attributed to dust, remedied by sprinkling the roads with water, authorities soon realized that the disease was spreading at an unusually rapid pace and that the airborne germs carrying it could not be so easily stopped. By the summer, however, new cases of the “three-day fever” dropped precipitously and the trouble seemed over in the United States.

Canada had scarcely been affected that spring. As World War I progressed, though, poor, rural Chinese workers recruited by Britain as part of the Chinese Labour Corps (non-combatants who served in France repairing damaged rails, digging trenches, unloading ships and the like), traveled eastward across Canada to Halifax in crowded railcars on the Canadian Pacific Railway beginning in 1917.

Canadian doctors dismissed the fact that 3,000 of 25,000 of the CLC employees required medical quarantine from a respiratory illness in July of 1918, and instead blamed their sickness on “Chinese laziness.” Such racial stereotyping meant that many of the sick went undiagnosed, unquarantined, and traveled onto Europe where they died; and the disease, already present there, spread even more swiftly in the wartime incubator.

Things were hardly over in North America, though. In the Fall of 1918 and into the following winter, influenza returned with a ruthless vengeance—a byproduct of the movement of troops serving in World War I. Identified first in late August in the Boston area among sailors and soldiers docked and stationed there, the contagion quickly reached civilians. The new strain was far more vicious than the earlier one.

One doctor treating patients at Camp Devens outside of Boston explained how this particular flu, starting with familiar symptoms of chills, muscle aches and headache, progressed to a deadlier form: “[Victims] rapidly develop the most viscous form of Pneumonia that has ever been seen. Two hours after admission, they have the Mahogany spots over the cheek bones and a few hours later you can begin to see the Cyanosis extending from the ears and spreading all over the face, until it is hard to

distinguish the colored man from the white.

It is only a matter of a few hours until death comes and it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate. It is horrible.”

On October 2 alone, the surgeon general reported 14,000 new cases within 24 hours, with a concentration in army camps like Camp Meade, Maryland; Camp Pike, Arkansas; Camp Hancock, Georgia; and Camp Funston, Kansas.

By the time the pandemic ended, roughly 25 percent of Americans suffered from the epidemic. Influenza claimed the lives of approximately 675,000 people in the United States and 50,000 in Canada - 6.5 percent and 6.1 percent of the total populations of those countries. Because soldiers lived in close quarters, they were highly vulnerable to the disease and contributed to the young age of those dying. In stark contrast, today, the elderly are the most susceptible to COVID-19.

A few weeks before the 1918 pandemic gained wide notice in this country, the “Keep Well” column of the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, a regular feature of that paper, offered a helpful, dispassionate, clinical description of influenza (known then also as “the grippe”): “Influenza may be regarded as a mild disease, the complications constituting the real danger, especially among elderly people and those who are physically ‘rundown.’ Of the complications the most important and dangerous are the lobar and [broncho] pneumonia. There can be no question but that there exists in all cities a certain number of carriers of the influenza germ.”

Offering further historical perspective, the writer explained, “Ancient records show that influenza epidemics were quite common. This spread always followed the lines of human travel and commerce and covers widely separated countries with such rapidity as to have produced the superstition that its onset is due to a malign ‘influence;’ hence its name. It is known now that there is no mysterious influence and that infection is due to [a] micro-organism.”

We would do well in 2020 to absorb this now 100-year-old observation by practicing not only social distancing, but also mental distancing from any prejudicial, uninformed thinking on the current public health crisis.

The May 31, 1918 Poughkeepsie Eagle News had a small photograph of King Alfonso of Spain and a short article halfway down page 5, mentioning that the King had contracted the “mysterious illness” ravaging his country.

While referred to as the “Spanish Flu” in the U.S, Spain was not its origin. Spain was a neutral country and not censoring its news, so the first news reports of the pandemic emerged from there. The prior day’s newspaper reported that the Spanish thought the pandemic originated in Germany and was transported by German submarines.

Navy sailor from Beacon reminds his home town to ‘remember’ those lost this Memorial Day

by Kristine Coulter This Memorial Day local residents enlisted in the U.S. military will continue to protect and defend the United States of America. One of those, currently in the military is Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Jarek Panko, who is from Beacon.

“Memorial Day is a day where we take a day to remember all those who serve and died to protect this country…,” said Panko.

Panko joined the U.S. Navy in August 2017.

Panko said, “I decided to join the Navy to protect this country and to travel the world when I was a junior in high school.”

As for what he would tell those in Dutchess County about remembering Memorial Day and honoring those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, Panko responded. “It is important to remember those lost on Memorial Day because they are the ones helped fight for our freedom and helped form this country.”

Panko was serving on the USS Truman in the Atlantic Ocean last month.

“USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) is the ninth nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the eighth in the Nimitz class. The keel was laid by Newport News Shipbuilding

November 29, 1993…,” according to https://www.public.navy.mil. The ship was named after Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States.

On September 7, 1996, the ship was christened. The ship was launched September 13, 1996, and delivered to the United States Navy on June 30, 1998. USS Harry S. Truman was commissioned July 25, 1998, according to the site.

As for what he misses in Beacon, Panko said, “I miss all the good times I had with my family and friends.” He added: “Also hiking [Mount] Beacon and overlooking Beacon.”

He noted, “What I would like to tell people back home in Beacon about the people who are serving now is that we all are going through rough/hard times in the military.

We are doing everything we can to help protect this country and to make you guys feel safe at home.”

As for what he would like people to do on Memorial Day, Panko said, “There is one thing I would like to say to you all, and that is to please take a few seconds of your time and say ‘thank you’ to all those who are serving and the veterans who did their time. It will put a smile on our faces to know that you guys support us.”

get growing!

by mark adams

Spotlight on local food Local farm markets are flourishing during the coronavirus pandemic.

Are you smiling?

It was hard to tell under her mask, but Amanda Skuza had good reason to smile.

Her family is healthy, and her new business is doing well. At 5 p.m. on a cold, rainy weekday afternoon, people waited in line to pick up their boxes of fresh meat and produce at Locust Hill Market.

The Hudson Valley’s local farm markets are coming to the rescue as we all worry about our food supply during the coronavirus pandemic. Local fruit, vegetables and especially meat are filling a void as normal supply chains are disrupted.

Mask and gloves at the ready, I set out last Friday to investigate this new paradigm.

My first stop was The Apple Core, at 462 Noxon Road. The front door was plastered with posters abut social distancing and personal protective equipment.

Once inside, I was almost bowled over by the aroma of fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, cakes and donuts. The Apple Core is an offshoot of Barton Orchards, the sprawling pick-your-own operation in Poughquag. Their staff suggested I hunt down owner Peter Barton at the main farm. Which I did, finding him hard at work in the “tap room,� conducting a training session for his crew.

You have to be optimistic if you’re an apple farmer, and Peter sure is. He just came through one of the coldest Aprils on record with his 175 acres of blooming apple trees intact. All the amenities on his farm, the petting zoo, fun park, tap room and new dog park are ready when the world returns to normal, as we all hope it will. “Business is booming,� Peter exclaimed. “I opened the farm store earlier than ever,� referring to the store at the Poughquag farm. The Apple Core is open year-round, and just started free delivery, which has teased out a flock of new customers. The delivery scheme started on a whim, Peter tells me, when a customer phoned in an order, and one of the employees hopped behind the wheel.

With people stuck at home, deliveries are surging, especially in the Pawling/ Poughquag area, but it’s not certain how the economics will work out. “Charge five dollars, at least,� I suggested.

On Sunday, May 3, Barton Orchards hosted a drive-through apple blossom tour, where people stayed in their cars, and musicians, including movie star Vito Petroccitto, jammed out at various locations along the way. The event was almost too successful, with cars backed up for miles, but it did raise $4,000 for charity – from donut sales. It seems that people are eager to get out, and when restrictions ease, farms will not only become popular destinations, they’ll be appreciated as never before. Nobody’s going to take their food for granted.

My next stop was Locust Hill Market, 3691 Route 82, Millbrook. Owners Amanda and Tom Skuza, with help from Amanda’s dad, Mike, have been raising their own beef – 25 head at present – for the past 12 years. They started a fruit and vegetable farm in 2018. A couple of months ago, the Skuzas saw an opportunity for online ordering with curbside pickup. With help from King’s Rock Designs, they launched a virtual marketplace with dozens of items.

As folks were picking up their orders, I asked why nobody was allowed inside the store. “There’s no room! It’s filled to the ceiling with today’s pick-up orders,�

Amanda replied.

This new model could continue past the current crisis. I asked what else they’re doing differently lately. A bit sheepishly, Amanda said she’s stocking some grocery items that she doesn’t produce on the farm, like bananas and lemons. “And they’re selling!� (I remember when Adams Fairacre Farms started doing that, in 1960).

It seems that meat, especially beef, but also pork and chicken, are the main attraction at farm markets. Nowadays people want to know where their food, and especially their meat, comes from.

Dutchess County is home to some 8,000 head of cattle, residing on farms like JSK Cattle Company in Lagrangeville, Locust Hill and Hahn Farm.

I stopped in to see Tom Hahn at his 500-acre farm at 1697 Salt Point Turnpike, Salt Point. Business at his farm stand has tripled over last year. Since it takes a year to raise a steer to market

weight, the demand is outstripping the supply at Hahn Farm. The 40 steers in residence will be ready during the next few months, but right now the freezer is empty for the first time Tom can remember.

I asked if this will lead to a big increase in production. No. The bottleneck, as always, is at the local slaughterhouses, which are booked up years in advance.

If Dutchess County folks want to enjoy fresh local meat and poultry, we have got

to be willing to allow more slaughterhouses to open, even if, yes, they are in our back yard. And we need to nurture our Hudson Valley farms.

Mark Adams is an agricultural advisor to the Dutchess County Executive, Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, Dutchess County B.O.C.E.S. and Cornell University.

Trust in crust A great crust makes a great pie.

Hey, out there! Anyone up for making pie? It’s great time to do it with the weather still a little cool, which not only makes it easier to work the dough for the crust (just try making a butter crust on a hot day and you’ll know what I mean), but also because pie means comfort, and we could all use a good dose of that right about now.

Hunkered down at home for the last eight weeks had me imagining people getting more creative, trying their hand at homesteading and being more self-sufficient. It’s a romantic notion but then, I’m a romantic girl. I myself have become more nostalgic than usual, which is going some, and I found myself thinking of my grandmother and the foods she prepared up home on the farm. I got pretty caught up in the old-fashioned notion of making everything myself – from bread to ice cream – and channeled her spirit on more than one occasion. It brought me comfort to feel such a strong connection to her and we’ve eaten well to boot!

Another thing about pie I find comforting is making it. Admittedly, pie is not my favorite dessert, although I have a few favorites. Unlike my sister, who will eat anything in pie form, I lean more toward custards and cakes. But I adore making pie! Maybe it’s that nostalgia thing again, a connection to another time, but whatever it is, I get blissfully lost in the process of making the dough, rolling it out, assembling and, finally, topping it off with the second crust and crimping the edges together. And let’s not dismiss the lovely reward of pulling that golden brown beauty out of the oven and the warm aromas that swirl around your kitchen when you do. It’s a kind of therapy for me, really, and when I really need a fix I’ll make pies for friends and neighbors to stay sane and feel good doing it.

Undoubtedly THE most important thing about a pie – the thing that makes or breaks it – is the crust. All manner of good things can go into the filling and it’s hard to go wrong there, but if the crust isn’t good you could have foregone it and served that filling up in a bowl instead.

Just my humble opinion, but a great crust makes the pie.

Nostalgia time again: I distinctly remember being 13 years old and taking Home Ec. That’s Home Economics and, now that I think of it, what a lovely, oldfashioned name that was. I’m thinking they don’t even offer that in schools now or, if they do, pretty sure they’d have a newfangled name for it. It was the first time I felt that connection to my grandmother and mother. I didn’t realize it then but have since come to view it as a sort of coming-of-age, rite-of-passage kind of thing: my foray into womanhood in more ways than one. Never really having prepared food before, it was a whole new world, one that peeled back the curtain to

reveal the wizardry and power of creating in the kitchen, what it took and what it meant. I struggled with it a little at first, but all in all took to it pretty quickly.

I don’t remember everything we cooked up, but two things stand out. We made cream puffs, which, looking back, seems a pretty ambitious thing to assign a bunch of 13-year-old girls who never baked before. Then it was just an assignment I had to do, but I was really proud of my results. We made them just before Christmas vacation and I remember being heartbroken that I forgot to retrieve them from the refrigerator in the classroom before the break. I had wanted my parents and grandparents to taste them.

The other thing that stands out was making pie crust. I couldn’t tell you what we used for filling the pie, only making the crust. We worked in teams for the test part of it, and I have a clear memory of discussing with my teammates what the different terms meant. One question was ‘What is cutting in?’ My guess was the little slits you cut into the top crust to vent the steam. I was wrong, but we passed anyway. If you would’ve said the same, stay tuned for the real answer.

I also distinctly remember bringing a piece of my pie to my grandfather and his reaction. He said the crust was excellent and that THAT was the most important part of any pie. Hmmm, where have I heard that before…? No wonder, then, that I have so often gifted friends and wooed beaus with my pies.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are centered in our kitchen. It seems like my mother was always baking.

Christmastime was amazing with all the cookies she made, and my sister and I got to help. My mother’s quick breads were the gifts all of my teachers looked forward to and spoke highly of. And I loved when she made pie. Not because I necessarily liked pie, as previously stated. I was fascinated and comforted by her whole process (déjà vu all over again). There was just something about her going through all the steps from pie crust to pulling it from the oven that spoke to me, something I never told her and she probably never knew until she reads this. But it’s true. Don’t underestimate the power of pie!

And so it’s time to delve into the secret of the very best pies: the crust. There are lots of recipes out there and some, no doubt, better or more “proper” than mine.

But I love my pie crust recipe and stand by it. I have lots of people who would back me up on this, so this is my go-to, take it or leave it. Time was, crusts were made with lard and I have no doubt they were wonderful. Crisco came on the scene and was a game-changer for sure. And then came margarine. I used to use that, and I think it was because it’s what we were taught to use in Home Ec, although

you can’t quote me on that because I honestly don’t remember. Now I will only use butter. Pure, unadulterated, creamy, real butter. I wouldn’t dream of using anything else. I’ve tried the others (except for lard) but, for me, there’s no comparison. It’s butter all the way. You’ll get a tender, flaky crust that pretty much insures there won’t be any left on the plate.

INGREDIENTS FOR CRUST For a 2-Crust Pie: 2 cups flour, sifted 1 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup cool butter, cut into pieces 1/4 cup water METHOD FOR CRUST: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt together. Add butter and mix into flour by cutting in: with a table knife in each hand, cut through shortening simultaneously in opposite directions, slicing through it to break it down and into the flour (or use a pastry blender). (There’s your answer!)

Once pretty well mixed, add 1/4 cup cool water and stir through JUST until blended. This is best done with your hands. You don’t want to over-knead as the dough gets tougher the more it’s handled.

Divide dough into two balls. Wrap one in plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator.

Place the other on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about an 11inch disk (I also dust the rolling pin with flour). If dough should stick to your rolling pin, you can add a dusting of more flour, but do so sparingly. (Too much flour can lead to tough crust.)

Carefully lift disk off work surface by loosely rolling it up (or roll it out on a mat which you can easily invert over the pie pan) and place in a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing down into the bottom and onto the sides. Leave enough dough, at least an inch, around edges to later crimp into the top crust’s edges to seal in juices. Trim off any extra and add to the other dough ball.

Set aside while you prepare filling.

Once filled, roll out second crust. Place on top of the filling making sure there’s a good overhang. Trim to make it even and, if possible, slightly wider than the lower crust overhang. Pinch the two crusts together all around the edge. If you have enough you can roll the pinched edges inward to settle on the rime of your pie pan. Using thumb and forefinger, work your way around the pie, crimping into a scalloped edge.

Cut 4-5 evenly spaced slits into top crust to vent steam as it bakes. Place on a baking sheet to catch any juices and spare yourself a terrible mess in the oven (you’re so welcome!)

And what about that filling? The sky’s pretty much the limit. But to keep things

simple: apples, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, peaches, blackberries and any combination thereof. The general rule is 3-6 cups of fruit, a big difference that mainly depends on the size and texture of your fruit of choice. Firmer fruits, like apples, won’t cook down as much as softer, juicier fruits.

For strawberry-rhubarb pie, I use 3 cups of each; for apple I use about 5 cups.

Whatever you choose, you want it in a heaping mound since it will cook down as it bakes, and you don’t want a sunken pie.

For berries and rhubarb in particular, you’ll want to add flour to coat the berries and thicken the juice.

Different pies require different baking times, but, if you don’t have a recipe, most of my pies start out in a 450-degree oven and bake for 10 minutes before turning down the heat and baking 35-45 minutes more. I always use something to keep my scalloped edge from browning too quickly (you can use foil), which I remove for the last 10-15 minutes of baking time. You know when it’s done by the golden brown of the crust and the bubbling of the juices. For firmer fruits, like apple, give them a poke with a knife to check for your preferred level of firmness to determine when done.

I’m in the transition phase of making the foray back into the office, and it’s a pretty big adjustment after all this time.

To soften the culture shock, I’m turning back time, seeking the warmth and wisdom I crave and need. I’ll once again be channeling my grandmother, hearing my grandfather’s words and re-experiencing the joy of being a child in my mother’s kitchen, all in the simple and humble act of making pie. So, if you find yourself needing comfort, feeling nostalgic or wanting to give a gift from the heart, please make it in the form of pie. And please make it from scratch. I promise you’ll be ever so glad you did! Enjoy!

“We believe in the power of music -- in its ability to unite us, to help us through tough times, and to reconnect us to each other,” Chetkof said. “We look forward to being with you again, as a community, when the time is right. … For now, stay home, stay safe, and stay positive! This, too, shall pass. We'll see you in 2021.”
