Southern Dutchess News

By Kristine Coulter Village of Fishkill restaurants and bars have been preparing for Phase 2.

On Saturday, June 6, Village of Fishill Mayor James Miccio held a meeting with local restaurant owners.

“The Village’s position is we’re going to do everything we can to help them,” said Miccio.

North Street will be closed at the Main Street entrance - there will be tables for outdoor accommodations. The hours of closure will be daily Mondays - Fridays from 5-9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays all day. The rear parking lots will be accessible from Academy St. “Village [officials] recognize we need to help our businesses. They stepped up in that regard,” said Michael Hayden.

Hayden has owned The White House Bar for more than 30 years.

Hayden said, “The Village really ‘opened up the doors to opening,’ so to speak.” He noted the village is allowing, for now, sidewalk cafes and not charging the usual fee as in the past. Miccio confirmed there are no fees for sidewalks cafes. “These people have been closed up for months,” noted the mayor.

Miccio said he wants to get cash flowing to the businesses in the village.

Asked what the past few months have been like as a business owner, Hayden, who is also a member of the Fishkill Business Association, replied, “It’s been non-existent as a business owner.” He said he has been paying the bills as best as best he can.

“In the meantime, I have done some renovations,” he noted. Hayden said one of the projects he has wanted to do for a while was extend the bar. That is what he did during the NY PAUSE shutdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Late last week, after hearing Phase 2 was scheduled for June 9, he has been preparing. Hayden said he will stick to the guidelines put forth by the state and

federal governments.

All employees are required to wear masks inside all the of the time. They must keep socially distant.

June 10-16, 2020

As for patrons and outside dining, said Hayden, one can remove their masks seated at a table and only with their group.

DC Fair canceled for only 4th time in history

By Curtis Schmidt Sue and Mark Adams remember their first date at the Dutchess County Fair. For Harry Baldwin, it's an end-of-summer tradition to renew old friendships. And Dick Whalen loves competing with Harry Baldwin to have the first cows at the fair on Sunday mornings.

The Dutchess County Fair means so much to so many individuals. With agriculture at its heart, it has been the centerpiece of fairgrounds events for 174 years.

But not this year.

This year, that beloved event will be yet another casualty of the current COVID-19 pandemic, but with resilient plans to return next year.

With an abundance of caution and emphasis on safety, Fair President/CEO Andy Imperati announced County officials join members of the Board of on Wednesday, June 3, that the 175th Dutchess County Fair has been canceled and will return on Aug. 24-29, Directors of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society 2021. This is only the fourth time in 174 years that the in cutting the ribbon to open the Welcome Center at fair has been canceled. the DC Fair in 2017.

By Kristine Coulter Business owners throughout the county and state are getting ready as the dates for the different phases to reopen are scheduled.

Among those business owners taking steps and getting ready, are members of the Fishkill Business Association (FBA).

“The motto of the FBA is "Think Local. Very Local." During this unprecedented time, it is more important than ever for people to shop locally. Small businesses are struggling; several of our members have had to close their businesses permanently, myself included. More will find it hard to reopen when the pause ends. When you shop at your local businesses you are helping your friends, neighbors and community succeed. Our communities thrive when our businesses thrive. In order for our communities to successfully come back from the pandemic, it is imperative that our local businesses lead the way,” said Michele MercadoChimkin, FBA President.

Madelyn Raum owns Chic Hair Salon and Spa at 1081 Main St, in Fishkill. She opened the salon eight years ago on June 4.

Raum said, “They’ll be no more than three stylists in the salon at one time.”

She said the stations will be socially distant, even more so than before the pandemic.

There will be a see-through divider used at the front desk station.

For shampooing, there are three sinks, but the middle one will not be used. Clear shower curtains will be used, too for the shampoo station area, she noted.

All stylists will use face masks, said Raum. She also added that clients will be required to use hand sanitizer and wear face masks.

There are no walk-in appointments at this time. It is by scheduled appointment only, said Raum, who is following required state guidelines. She also said clients are being asked not to bring guests to their appointments.

Raum encouraged her older clients to make appointments first thing in the morning, since they are part of the most vulnerable population.

Raum purchased UV sanitizers for brushes and equipment. All equipment will be sanitized she said. Chairs will be wiped down after each appointment with sanitizer. Barbicide, specifically designed to clean and disinfect salons, will be used, too. Appointments have 30 minutes in between so they can sanitize what is required.

“I’m encouraging clients to wait until appointment times and not to arrive 10 minutes early,” remarked Raum.

As for how the pandemic and NY PAUSE affected her, she said, “It’s been a mixed bag, if you will.” She noted as an owner the most difficult part was making sure bills are covered.

“I was not going to let this beat me,” Raum remarked.

State: COVID-19 update

Cuomo: Protest peacefully and get tested

By Kate Goldsmith Noting the great progress New York has made in the fight against COVID-19, Gov. Andrew Cuomo reiterated the importance of testing as the state begins its reopening process, and as residents gather to peacefully protest the death of George Floyd.

"Some people have asked me if I'm worried that the protests we have seen across the state and nation will lead to an increase in COVID cases. Yes, I am worried. That's why I'm asking New Yorkers who have attended a recent protest to get tested for COVID and to act as if you may have been exposed," said Cuomo.

"Anyone who attended a recent protest is eligible for a test and there's no good reason not to get one (testing is free at all

state-run COVID testing sites)."

He added, "Weve made terrific progress in fighting this virus and it would be devastating to have any of that progress reversed now. So please: get tested, wear a mask and be smart."

There are 700 testing facilities throughout New York; visit coronavirus.health.ny.gov to learn more.

In Brief: -Cuomo announced the "Say Their Name" reform agenda following the murder of George Floyd and an ongoing pattern of police brutality against black communities.

The four cornerstones of the agenda are: Transparency of prior disciplinary records of law enforcement officers; banning choke holds by law enforcement officers; prohibit-

ing false race-based 9-1-1 reports and making them a crime; and designating the Attorney General as an independent prosecutor for matters relating to the deaths of unarmed civilians caused by law enforcement. Cuomo plans to work on this agenda with state legislators this week.

-The governor signed legislation banning price gouging of personal protective equipment through the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic.

- Cuomo issued an Executive Order allowing commercial buildings to conduct temperature checks for people entering office buildings as employees begin to return to the office.

- The State Department of Financial Services will issue an emergency regula-

tion to help businesses and consumers who suffered damage from looting and vandalism. DFS is directing insurers to expedite claims, provide free mediation of disputes and accept photos as reasonable proof of loss so businesses don't have to wait for police reports. More information is available at dfs.ny.gov.

- Medical schools statewide will be allowed to reopen on June 22. Medical schools are following appropriate precautions in order to safely prepare for and welcome new cohorts of medical students this summer and fall.

- Outdoor, socially distanced graduation ceremonies of up to 150 people will be allowed beginning June 26. This is subject to any outbreaks or significant changes in the metrics.

County: COVID-19 update

County looks to Phase 2 of reopening

By Kate Goldsmith The Mid-Hudson region was expected to get the green light to enter Phase 2 of reopening on Tuesday, June 9. Businesses allowed to reopen - albeit at 50-percent capacity and following all safety protocols (i.e., social distancing, wearing face coverings when social distancing isn't possible) - include the following: - hair salons and barber shops (only haircuts, stylings and colorings are permitted); - offices; - real estate; - in-store retail (fitting rooms must be appropriately sanitized); - vehicle sales, leases and rentals; - commercial building management.

-While shopping malls are not allowed to reopen during this phase, stores located within malls that have their own external public entrances (separate from the general mall entrance) may reopen.

Outdoor food & beverage service allowed Restaurants may now offer outdoor din-

ing, with tables spaced out according to guidelines; staff must wear face-masks, and patrons must wear them when not at their table. The New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) is allowing outdoor, on-premises service of alcoholic beverages.

"This is big news for our local restaurants after weeks of pushing the State to give these local businesses a real chance at survival particularly during the critical summer dining season," said Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro. "We're grateful to the State, and particularly Chairman Bradley and the State Liquor Authority for this accommodation."

Molinaro issue an executive order waiving local regulations and requirements that could cause a potential burden or delay for local establishments to expand outdoor dining space. The executive order will also aid in the local efforts to provide access to municipal-owned land.

"Now more than ever before, we need to think creatively and be willing to push beyond normal operating procedures to give

our local businesses a real chance at survival," said Molinaro. "These business owners have sacrificed a great deal, closing down or severely restricting their operations, to keep our community healthy and safe. We must be willing to think creatively to help return them to vitality and bring our Main Streets back to life."

Houses of worship allowed to reopen with restrictions Cuomo announced last week that houses of worship could open with 25-percent occupancy in Phase 2. Molinaro and other MidHudson officials had petitioned the governor for some leeway, particularly in light of the protests over the death of George Floyd and the important role of faith in communities' healing.

"Our churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of faith need to be available for neighbors, leaders and community to come together. The personal interaction that occurs in faith communities can prove invaluable," said Molinaro. "We fought for this. It is an important step and powerful message at the

right moment in New York. It's an important time to humble ourselves, pray for peace and work for healing."

Call for continued testing To continue the reopening process, each region must comply with the seven health metrics, which are monitored via the state's Early Warning Monitoring System Dashboard (https://forward.ny.gov/earlywarning-monitoring-dashboard).

Molinaro encourages citizens to continue all safety protocols, including wearing facemasks in situations where they cannot maintain social distancing and hand-washing. If anyone has been in a setting where they were unable to properly social distance, such as a protest, they are urged to take advantage of free COVID-19 testing.

Molinaro hosts two COVID-19 Town Halls each week, on Wednesdays and Fridays on Facebook (with every other Wednesday an evening Phone/Facebook Town Hall). Visit www.dutchessny.gov/coronavirus or the county's Facebook page (@DutchessCoGov) for more information.

Raum said much of the requirements now for reopening were required before and she was doing 85 percent of most of it on a daily basis.

As for the reopening, “My clients are thrilled. They’ve been calling nonstop,” said Raum.

Austin Schweitzer is a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones at 1399 Route 52 in Fishkill. He is a member of the FBA. “As we go through the coronavirus crisis, we are all, first and foremost, concerned about the health of our loved ones and communities.

We have had to quickly adapt to our "new normal" and find new ways to connect with our clients and proactively check in with them.

Edward Jones has done a great job with switching everything over virtually, while also staying true to the personal face-to-face relationships we have with our clients,” said Schweitzer. “Pam [Willig] is my Branch Office Administrator and together we have been able to offer our clients a new way of staying in touch. For example, we host two virtual webinars a month where I discuss recent market updates or popular topics clients want to be educated about. We are also conducting all of our appointments virtually and over the phone to practice social distancing while maintaining NYS Guidelines.”

Asked why people should seek financial advice at this time, Schweitzer responded, “First, the coronavirus rocked the financial markets. Then, oil prices dropped more than

20 percent after a breakdown in OPEC production discussions. Not surprisingly, the markets took another nosedive. Yet, despite these events, this recent market volatility may well be attributed more to fear than the forces that usually drive the markets. Ultimately, in the investment arena, as in all walks of life, facts matter. And right now, if you look beyond the headlines, the facts that matter to investors may be far less gloomy than you might have imagined. We’ve been here before. From the time the markets bottomed out in early 2009 until just a few weeks ago, stock prices climbed about 300 percent. Yet, during that time, we also saw three separate market drops of more than 15 percent, similar to what we’re seeing now. These market corrections always

feel unsettling, but it’s important to recognize that they are actually a normal part of the longterm investing process. It's important for people to seek financial advice at this time because we have an established process to make sure your financial portfolio is diversified and aligned with your risk tolerance to be able to weather these types of storms.”

Schweitzer said he would tell clients about what he can offer them, “The road to your financial goals is a long one, with many twists and turns. So, you might like to have some experienced company along the way. What we offer to individuals and businesses is a few different things. The first is understanding where you are today and where you would like to be.

This helps us create a personalized financial

strategy that is tailored for you and your family’s goals.” He added, “The second is by working with a financial advisor and creating your financial strategy, where you are educated on the investments you have and the reason behind why you own them. Finally, as a business owner, you can’t afford to ignore your competition. You can’t afford to miss out on the trends affecting your industry. You can’t afford to alienate customers. And here’s one more item to add to the list: You can’t afford not to create a retirement plan for yourself.”

Schweitzer noted his family owned a small business in Fishkill for more than 20 years.

“The reason I became a financial advisor was because I know the struggles and adversity that small businesses have to overcome.

One thing that gets overlooked is making sure that they are planning for their retirement as well as their employees. For me, I enjoy working with small businesses because I want to be able to alleviate the stress of not knowing when they can retire. Over the years, you’ll experience many personal and professional milestones.”

Schweitzer remarked, “I would be happy to take a second look at where you currently are today with your financial assets and see if there are any opportunities you are missing out on based on your goals. If you are currently going through a job transition, now is a perfect opportunity to evaluate if you are on track to meet your financial goals and needs.”

Schweitzer said for more information, contact Pam Willig, Branch Office Administrator at 845-231-0527 or email her at Pamela.willig@edwardjones.com to set up a virtual appointment.

Mercado- Chimkin noted, “FBA members are a community within a community, when one of us succeeds or falls we feel the joy or the pain.”

Asked if he was going to have any special offerings when he reopened, Hayden replied, “I haven’t gotten that far.” He said he is taking baby steps with Phase 2 in regards to opening, until Phase 3.

Hayden did note The White House Bar will be doing an outdoor beer garden, “to get some of our locals back,” he said.

Hayden said when one is out in the community one wants to see the community “has a pulse” by seeing people. “It’s

a desirable thing to see people out,” he remarked.

Hayden said, “It’s connecting back with the people in the business.” He said his bar is like the television show “Cheers.” “Everyone is laughing and

joking with everybody. Anybody can buy a six-pack and stay home. But part of the bar is the socialization. We like to laugh and joke with each other. It’s the camaraderie,” he said.

Lumia seeks votes for Wappingers Central School District BOE election To the Editor: My name is John Lumia. I have a BA degree from Marist College and an MA degree from St. John’s University. Some of you may know me because I taught mathematics in the Wappingers Central School District for 32 years as well as Marist and Dutchess Community College. I have served as a Board Education Member and I am presently the WCSD Board President.

During my tenure on the School Board, I have served as Chairman of Capital Improvement, Policy, Personnel and Curriculum Committees. During my tenure, there have been many positive accomplishments that the Boards can be proud of.

We have eliminated the overcrowding by establishing a k-6 grade configuration in all but two sister schools namely Vassar and Kinry Elementary. We have reduced class size and will continue doing so. Our community has voted for two Capital Improvement Projects. Please visit our schools to see the external as well as all the internal improvements that have been accomplished. The construction of vestibules has made our school safer. Presently, there is ongoing work that will further improve our infrastructure. We will be installing air condition in the auditorium of both high schools. Moreover, solar panels will be installed at RCK. While on the Board, we were fortunate to hire a Director of Facility 3 who oversees every project and makes everyone accountable so that work is done correctly. Because the community voted for the Capital Projects, we were able to eliminate all rentals that were costing the taxpayers over $1,000,000 per year. With this elimination, we bought a building which enabled us to centralized all district offices at the same location where we have the Alternative High School as well. As part of a Capital Project, we build a Bus Garage at Fishkill Plains Elementary School which enables us to wash our busses and remove snow from the roofs. Moreover, our bus inspections can be done internally as opposed to going to Beacon. We have installed elevators in some of our schools which were not ADA compliant.

All 9 Board Members are independent thinkers and will vote on issues that will have a positive impact on our students while being mindful of our taxpayers. All nine board members have to pay taxes like everyone else but we all have one common goal: to provided our students with the best education while being financially responsible. Each Board member is an individual with character. We are fortunate that we are able to work together for a common goal.

I hope that during my tenure on the board I have earned your trust and continued support.

Our Worlds Not The Same To the Editor:

Our Worlds Not The Same As I sit and watch the world in disarray, I wonder what will come of it from day to day.

This invisible enemy has shut down our way of life, It has cut into our hearts with an invisible knife.

It has taken away the kiss on the cheek, It’s ravaged the body and made us weak.

It has shut down commerce and taken away jobs, It is like a thief in the night that goes out and robs.

The only thing all of us can do, Is keep our faith in God and he will see us through.

For he is divine and the creator of life, He will destroy the virus with his invisible knife.

We will all reflect on this pandemic of death and disdain, Take the time to see all the suffering and the terrible pain.

For when this is all over and hopefully so, We can come back united and not forget what we know.

Leslie Pisaturo - 4/23/2020 Poughkeepsie

Asks Maloney why he voted for Heroes Act To Representative Maloney: You voted for legislation to keep Americans out of work -- shame on you!!

Why did you vote in favor of the misleadingly-named HEROES Act? This legislation harms American medical professionals by importing 1.4 million foreign medical workers, even though doctors and nurses across the country are being furloughed and laid off. This bill also harms the 36 million Americans who are out of work by amnestying -- and giving cash payments to -- millions of illegal aliens. What were you thinking?

In addition to harming working-class Americans and American medical professionals, your legislation has the capacity to do irreparable harm to countless low and middle-income countries. Many of those granted work permits will come from countries that already have too few doctors and nurses. Giving foreign doctors and nurses permanent work permits will cause permanent harm to millions of people around the world.

I hope you will reflect on your vote in favor of H.R. 6800 and decide to act differently in the future.

Cuomo extends deadline for school districts to receive mail-in ballots

By Kate Goldsmith On Sunday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order to extend the deadline for school districts to receive mail-in ballots by one week, from June 9 to June 16.

Due to a vendor supply problem, several school districts across the state - including some in Dutchess County - hadn't received their orders from the vendor until late last week. Some voters didn't receive their absentee ballots in the mail until Monday, June 8 - a day before they originally were due back to the districts.

On May 1, Cuomo issued an executive order to hold school district elections by absentee ballot only, to mitigate the risk of transmitting COVID-19. That executive order required all ballots to be received by the districts by 5 p.m. on June 9.

As districts scrambled to make this happen, those that work with NTS Data Services were informed by the vendor in late May that there was a shortage of envelopes that would delay their orders.

Hyde Park was one of those districts.

Contacted on June 5 via email, District Secretary Joanne Mikula said, "We were informed that they were mailed out Tuesday (June 2) from Buffalo and we should be receiving them in the mail Friday, Saturday (June 5, 6)."

At that point, the district mailed them out to qualified voters. Qualified voters are U.S. citizens at least 18 years old by June 9, residents of the school district for 30 days immediately preceding the vote, and registered either with the school district's board of registration or on a current

voter list maintained by the Dutchess County Board of Elections.

The Wappingers Central School District had also been informed by NTS that their order would be delayed. Both Hyde Park and Wappingers responded by setting up locations for voters to drop off their ballots while social distancing in order to meet the original June 9 deadline.

On June 1, Southern Dutchess News Group contacted Didi Barrett's office to see if the governor had any plans to extend the deadline so that voters could still mail in their ballots. At that time, Barrett's office reached out to Cuomo's office to request an extension. In addition, State Sen. Pete Harkham (D-40), whose district includes parts of southeastern Dutchess County, introduced legislation to extend the deadline to June 16.

"The governor's amended executive order regarding the school budget voting deadline allows districts to receive hand-delivered ballots through June 9 at 5 p.m., and by mail until June 16," said Barrett. "I am proud to have worked with my colleagues to get the governor to amend his original order, ensuring that voters' voices are rightly heard and school districts can successfully comply with the regulations."

Cuomo announced his executive order during his press conference on Sunday.

He also signed legislation (S.8130D/A.10516-A) extending the deadline to submit absentee ballots for the primaries until the day of the election. To be counted, primary ballots must be postmarked

by June 23.

Notes from the Town of Wappinger Supervisor

Marching toward a new normal Early 1787 helped to define for Thomas Jefferson the key elements to be drafted in the US Constitution. During the Shays’ Rebellion (Massachusetts, 1786-1787), when farmers protested economic and civil rights injustices, Jefferson wrote to James Madison that “a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.” He also noted that: “Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government.... 2. Under governments wherein the will of everyone has a just influence, …, and in our states is a great one. 3.

Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics.” (emphasis added) Jefferson added that protests help to prevent apathy, decay, and the degeneration of governments by bringing attention to “the public affairs.” The Constitution resulted from the challenges facing the young American political experiment. We are now face one of the most crucial times since the Revolutionary War of 17751783..

We are facing unprecedented challenges from all directions. They range from growing international hotspots where our soldiers and many allies are on the front lines against global aggression; from the unseen enemy of COVID 19 where our many heroes are fighting daily

continuing, unending battles; to the ongoing discriminations in many forms against our nation’s peoples who are suffering from numerous unfair and unequal economic and civil rights inequities. Most of those injustices have recently reared their very ugly face in the murder of Mr. George Floyd.

As our County Executive Marcus Molinaro stated during the recent, peaceful Poughkeepsie march, “there were moments of tension, but calm prevailed.

Organizers worked hard to remain passionate and peaceful and our finest were at their finest.” As during that night, and the continued aftermath of protests throughout the entire U.S., we must seize upon the moment to make meaningful, lasting changes to reduce, if not eliminate, the many discriminations growing throughout our society. We must seize the opportunity to start to eliminate systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, immigration and health care system collapses, as well as judicial and prison reform.

And, while the Floyd-related protests continue, we cannot let up our guard against the other enemy of the American peoples – Covid19. New cases of the novel coronavirus are rising faster than ever worldwide, at a rate of more than 100,000 a day over a seven-day average.

In April, new cases never topped 100,000 in one day, but since May 21, there have

only been less than 100,000 on five days, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Newly reported cases reached a high of 130,400 on June 3.

We are facing unprecedented challenges to municipal governments. Going forward, some of the initiatives that may make a small dent in facing our challenges, could include: Continuing to push for expanded reopening of local businesses, churches, service institutions and education, especially for our disadvantaged youth; Pushing for reforms at County, State and federal levels (through the ballot box and otherwise) for our systems relating to the courts, law enforcement, health care, to name a few; Encouraging our youth to participate more actively in Town of Wappinger government; At June 22 Board meeting I will introduce officially my proposal for a new Advisory Council on Safety, Health and Environment that would advise the board on many of the challenges facing us; Seeking, once again, greater diversity representation on our Town Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Planning Board, where currently we have virtually no diversity representation (only one women and one non-Caucasian); Proposing either a rededication of an existing Town Parks, or part of one, for a living memorial and statute addressing the

Supervisor Richard Thurston various social inequities facing our communities; and other initiatives to be addressed during the next several Town board meetings.

And, please do not forget, as we continue to reopen our community, please: - Continue to observe social distancing recommendations; - Wear masks where social distancing is not possible; - Wash your hands very regularly; - Use hand sanitizers; and - Observe common courtesies, respect and support in promoting health, safety and removal of discriminatory practices.

Before closing, I wish to thank the various organizers of the protests in our area for keeping the calm and spreading the message to our hearts and minds. Thanks to our faith leaders, who I hope will soon reopen to reach many of their congregations in need of spiritual and psychological needs. And, by no means last, thanks to the men and women of the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department, Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, NYS Police, the Village of Wappingers Falls Police Department, our fire companies and many more who have remained vigilant but respectful during these tumultuous times. Thanks for maintaining peace and understanding.

Our prayers and blessings are with each and every one of you.

Rolison, Molinaro comment on peaceful protests in honor of George Floyd On Tuesday, June 2, thousands came to the City of Poughkeepsie to peacefully protest the death of George Floyd.

Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison and Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro showed their support for the demonstrators.

Rolison released the following statement following the protests: “During this week, the City of Poughkeepsie has witnessed several protests relating to the senseless death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I want to convey how proud I am of the community for coming together in peaceful demonstrations to express their frustrations and to push unrelentingly for racial equality. I also want to thank the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department for their professionalism in handling these demonstrations and to our law enforcement partners from the state and Dutchess and Ulster counties that provided us with support.

“Across this country, we have watched protests that have taken counter-productive, dangerous turns. The events in the City of Poughkeepsie -- which have included a candlelight vigil and marches - have shown the country how people can gather to express themselves passionately, to demand justice, and to ensure their voices are heard. And they can do all that without violence and without causing damage to the community at large. I will be forever thankful for those, including the organizers of these events and community leaders, for insisting on a nonviolent approach. The city is committed to doing its part as the country tries to heal and find a way forward. We are committed to keeping the lines of dialogue open and to providing a safe environment for people to continue to voice their views and to work for the betterment of our city.”

Following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests nationwide, Molinaro issued the following statement: “We all have a moral duty to call out intolerance and racism wherever it exists,

to speak out passionately and peacefully when we see injustice, and to act to make necessary changes. We also must listen to – and learn from – those in our community with experiences and opinions different than our own. For when we listen to one another, we can grow and move toward a more enlightened society that improves everyone’s collective experience.

“I can never know the fear and anguish people of color face every day, going about their daily lives – the accusatory glares, the baseless presumption of wrong-doing – wondering if today will be the day they face outright harassment, physical intimidation or worse, based purely on the prejudice of others. I will, however, defend the rights of anyone to peacefully gather and voice their opinions. Last week, we saw the worst of humanity in those indelible moving images that have galvanized a country into action and that will endure long after we’re gone.

Make no mistake: George Floyd was murdered at the hands of an officer who swore to uphold the law – to serve and protect the people of Minneapolis who handed to him a most sacred trust. The brave men and women of law enforcement deserve our respect, and the overwhelming majority have earned it. The actions of the four Minneapolis officers and any others who act recklessly and cruelly put at risk the countless conscientious officers who protect and serve with professionalism and courage every day, throughout our county and our country.

“The anger and suffering felt by so many across our nation is genuine, as is the need to express it in a peaceful manner. Dutchess County will always welcome and support those expressing their opinions. We must never allow our passion to overpower our need for peaceful discourse. No one has all the answers, but we must all work to find them together and to give rise to changes our nation, state, and community so desperately need.”

Local hospital staffs learn, move forward cautiously

By Rich Thomaselli As we look for signs that help convince us the coronavirus pandemic is subsiding, we look closely to our hospitals.

We look at number of cases, number of admitted patients, number of recoveries and, sadly, number of deaths. Fortunately they all seem to be decreasing.

But there's another metric to look at as well - for the first time in nearly three months, local hospitals have resumed performing elective surgeries, something that medical administrators were all but forced to push aside during the height of the pandemic.

The Westchester Medical Center Health Network, which operates HealthAlliance in Kingston and MidHudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie, has resumed ambulatory surgical services for patients who need elective, outpatient procedures in which they enter and leave surgical facilities on the same day without an overnight stay.

So, too, has Nuvance Health, which operates Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, Northern Dutchess Hospital in Rhinebeck and the Putnam Hospital Center, in addition to hospitals in Connecticut. Performing elective surgeries and outpatient services has also brought a smile to the faces of numerous medical professionals.

"We had to strategically look at every person on a one-to-one basis on whether the risk benefit of not receiving services was beneficial," said Kathy Leonard, director of therapy services at Northern Dutchess Hospital.

"From day one, there was always a plan on how we're going to move forward. And frankly, just because we have resumed services does not mean we're in post-COVID. We're not in post-COVID, we're in chronic COVID." NDH has always had a plan in place and, in fact, had a "Reopening Committee for Non-Emergency Services" that included representatives from nearly every aspect of the hospital from the administration to doctors and surgeons, nurses, the engineering department and maintenance workers.

Everybody had a say.

And everybody had something important to contribute.

"Safety was the key to this whole thing," said Dr. Brian Binetti, a general and bariatric surgeon at NDH who served on the reopening committee. "We had to figure out how to provide service to those patients and not overwhelm our system. There was really no blueprint to follow. Patients were very understanding. They understood the healthcare system could have been overwhelmed.

Some patients were frustrated, but they understood what we needed."

Leonard said it was a case of being pragmatic.

"Patients who were here in the hospital did not miss therapy. Patients coming to us during the last few weeks or months, some of them did have to miss appointments," she said. "But we had to ask ourselves, was missing therapy worth the risk of being potentially exposed to the virus? Now we can say that now that we are rebooted, the hospital is the best place to come to get your outpatient therapy."

Dr. Binetti said it was most certainly a life lesson for all hospital staffers - especially if the coronavirus comes back for a second wave in the fall and winter, as some have predicted. Or even if it continues to linger, as Leonard indicated.

"I think we have more of a blueprint in place now to deal with this," Dr. Binetti said.

"This was unprecedented. We'll continue to have more insight into what happened.

There is a de-escalation plan in place. We've learned a lot."

And, some of the things they learned and implemented will be with the medical community, and patients, into the future.

"I can't speak to how long we'll be wearing facemasks, but that will be more of a common sight as things go on," Dr. Binetti said. "Tele-medicine, seeing our patients through video, that will become more of a permanent part of the way we see patients. It won't completely replace office visits, but it will make it easier for some. And to some extent, it was nice to be working more closely and seeing that level of communication and cooperation on a daily basis here at the hospital. I think it did bring us closer together and allowed us to get to know each other."

SplashDown in Fishkill issues guidelines for July 3 opening

SplashDown Beach in Fishkill is set to turn on its slides July 3.

By Rich Thomaselli SplashDown Beach is ready to start the water running again.

The popular Fishkill waterpark will turn its slides and pools back on come Friday, July 3, the park announced this week.

SplashDown will operate at 75 percent capacity through the remainder of the summer season.

In addition to increased and enhanced cleaning and sanitizing procedures in the park, Splashdown will also feature: - UV-C light wands for high touch areas such as credit card processors, keyboards and other electronics.

- Temperature scans utilizing non-contact thermometers will be taken of guests and employees. Anyone confirmed to have a temperature over 100.4 degrees will not be allowed access to the property and will be directed toward appropriate medical care.

- Guests will be required to buy tickets

in advance online and will be screened in their vehicles prior to entering the park.

Guests will also be required to verify they have not been exposed or in contact with anyone displaying symptoms of COVID19 within the past 7-14 days or longer based on CDC or NYS Department of Health guidelines.

- According to the CDC, there is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID19 can spread to humans through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas. Proper operation and maintenance (including disinfection with chlorine and bromine) of these facilities will inactivate the virus in the water.

- All staff will be issued appropriate personal protective equipment to use while working in close proximity to other guests or staff. They will be trained in enforcing distancing between guests while swimming, queuing for rides, and lounging on the deck.

Restaurants see 'ray of light' with outdoor dining

By Rich Thomaselli While Dutchess County restaurants have been preparing for a Phase III reopening of inside, sit-down service in two more weeks, they were given an early gift from Gov. Andrew Cuomo - with a monstrous assist from Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro and his staff.

Starting this week, restaurants can offer outdoor service to help take advantage of the lucrative warm-weather dining season.

It was welcome news to most restaurant owners and managers.

"We're down for whatever we're allowed," said Tommy Vanikiotis, coowner of the popular Eveready Diner in Hyde Park, with another location in Brewster. "I think we can make it happen.

My biggest concern is the wind and the sun, so maybe some kind of tent but, yeah, we're going to make it work."

Asked his reaction and whether he will pursue the opportunity, Luigi Coppola, one of the owners of Hyde Park's Coppola's Restaurant, said: "Well, first of all ‌ YAY!" Coppola was prescient - he renovated

his existing outdoor patio a month ago, and said he will erect a tent in the parking lot that can seat eight more tables, all with the proper social distancing.

Coppola added that "It's really nice considering we still have to wait two more weeks until the Governor enters us into Phase 3."

In this instance, much of the credit goes to Molinaro, assistant county executive Ron Hicks, and their staff. They have been lobbying Cuomo and the State Liquor Authority for weeks asking that restaurants be given the authorization to offer outdoor service.

"This is big news for our local restaurants after weeks of pushing the State to give these local businesses a real chance at survival - particularly during the critical summer dining season. We're grateful to the State, and particularly Chairman Bradley and the State Liquor Authority for this accommodation," Molinaro said in a statement. "With Phase 2 just around the corner for the Mid-Hudson Region, restaurants and local municipalities have the opportunity to get prepped now and be

ready to welcome customers next week as soon as we get the Phase 2 green light."

Original state guidance said on-premise dining would not be allowed until Phase 3.

Once a region is in Phase 2, restaurants can offer outdoor dining with the following guidance: - Food and/or beverage must be consumed in outdoor, open-air areas, without a fixed roof (besides a temporary or seasonal awning or cover).

- Food and/or beverage must be consumed while seated at a table, bar, counter, or similar contrivance.

- All tables must be six feet apart; any seat at bar, counter, or similar must be six feet apart.

- All staff of the licensed business must wear facemasks at all times.

- All customers must wear face masks at any time they are not seated.

- Any consumption shall be subject to all other relevant executive orders, guidances promulgated by the Department of Health, and/or any other relevant agency guidance.

The SLA will allow restaurants to utilize outdoor space on municipal-owned land, such as sidewalks and streets contiguous to a licensed establishment in coordination with the local municipality.

To expedite this process, Molinaro will issue an executive order to go into effect before June 9, waiving local regulations and requirements that could cause a potential burden or delay for local establishments to expand outdoor dining space.

The executive order will also aid in the local efforts to provide access to municipal-owned land.

"Now, more than ever before, we need to think creatively and be willing to push beyond normal operating procedures to give our local businesses a real chance at survival," Molinaro said. "These business owners have sacrificed a great deal, closing down or severely restricting their operations, to keep our community healthy and safe. We must be willing to think creatively to help return them to vitality and bring our Main Streets back to life."

Not everybody is ready to jump on board, however.

"We'll watch and see what happens," said Claudio Giliberti, who has owned the iconic Longobardi's restaurant in Wappingers Falls for more than 40 years.

"If it appears that they won't let us open (inside), we'll consider it. For now, it's crazy to get all set up just for the outdoors for two weeks."

4-H students, leaders take positive approach to Fair cancellation

By Kristine Coulter and Curtis Schmidt 4-H students and leaders are disappointed that they will not be able to show animals and exhibits at the Dutchess County Fair this year, however, they certainly agree with the difficult decision to cancel the annual event, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I support the decision to close the Fair, it is the right thing to do," said James Hicks of the Here Comes the Beef club. "I got my steers last September and have worked with them ever since. I normally start showing them in February and go to about two shows a month with DC Fair being the finale."

He added, "I know this is a learning experience, and growing up on a farm has taught me that nothing ever goes according to plans and everything is subject to change. But it is still very disappointing."

Amanda Scannell is the leader of the Goat Gang club.

"I am sad that the fair was canceled. I do understand why it was and I'm glad that the people in charge are keeping everyone's health and well-being in mind," she said. "It will be very odd not going because I've gone every year for roughly 20 years now. I am sad that my 4H kids won't be able to show off all of the hard work they've been doing this year. In order to keep their spirits up, I am plan-

ning a special surprise for them in place of the Fair later in the year."

Michelle Hicks is a member of the Board of Directors of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society, a farmer and 4-H leader.

She said, "It is difficult to watch so many people who have worked all year not be able to shine at the fair. I am having a difficult time wrapping my mind around the fact that there will be no Fair.

This is the first time in almost 40 years that I won't be at the Fair."

Debbie Scannell leads the Cool Critters club. The Cool Critters Club teaches its members about guinea pigs and rabbits.

During the Fair the members present and show the animals. They also enjoy doing a Costume Show. Members learn about the different breeds and what is required to take care of an animal.

Kieran Orellana is a member of the Dragons and Damsels Entomology Club, also known as the Bug Club. He has been member of the club for three years. "What are you gonna do? They want people to not spread the virus, which is smart," said the 9-year-old. "It's a big disappointment.

We've also been waiting a year to go on the Ferris wheel."

Other youngsters are also disappointed, but taking a positive approach.

"It is my first year and I was so looking forward to my time at the Fair with my

County Fair canceled Continued from page 1

"We explored all options. This was a very emotional and difficult decision to make. We know that the impact of the fair's cancellation will be felt far beyond the loss of our annual celebration," said Imperati. "We are heartbroken for the small businesses, family farms, competitors and exhibitors and communities who rely on the income and exposure the Dutchess County Fair brings them."

He added, "We have one chance to do it right and if we cannot present the best of the best to our fairgoers, then we will not do it.

The fair industry is resilient and adaptable.

We will meet again to celebrate what will be the 175th celebration of the Dutchess County Fair and all that is exceptional in the Hudson Valley."

Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said, "The Dutchess County Fair is a local institution like no other, an annual celebration of our community's agrarian heritage showcasing what makes our County such an amazing place in which to live, work and raise a family. We understand the complications and challenges fair organizers faced in light of these unprecedented times, and we thank them for making the healthy and safety of guests and participants such a high priority."

Imperati said the safety of the Fair's visitors, participants and community is the highest priority in producing the annual event.

"Contact with county governmental agencies and the County Health Department was sought and it became clear that cancellation was the most sensible choice for the Fair to do its part to improve community health and safety and reduce the cycle of infection," said Imperati.

One of the vendors that will be dealing with the adverse effects of not having a Fair is the Dutchess County Pamona Grange, which has been part of the event since 1900.

Grange secretary Ryan Orton said he and the other Grange volunteers "understand why the difficult decision was made and we support the decision."

He added, "The Grange Family Snack Bar at the Dutchess County Fair is our major source of income for the entire year, and many annual programs we do are now in question since we won't have our usual revenue. This will affect our yearly scholarships and programs for our Junior and Youth Grangers. But, Grangers always 'hope and persevere!' A quotation from the Grange Installation of Officers Ceremony reminds us that 'difficulties are but opportunities to test our abilities.' We will overcome this obstacle together."

Imperati noted that all other non-fair events scheduled at the fairgrounds will be viewed on a per-event basis with fairgrounds management and the promoter. "If guidelines cannot be met, the event will be cancelled, postponed or rescheduled," said

sheep 'Carmel' and her new baby 'Peaches.' The experience would have been great," said Hailey Day of the Stony Ground club. "I will keep working with them and I hope next year we will impress many people."

Stony Ground member Tavin Pennock,

8, said, "I'm really sad because I wanted to show my chickens, but now they won't have to stay in quarantine for three weeks or be alone in cages at the Fair. So, that's good."

They will all be back in 2021.

Imperati.

The Fairgrounds is dedicated to using its facilities and resources to support and serve the community. Currently there is a drive-up food pantry on the grounds on Saturdays between 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. The American Red Cross has scheduled for a blood drive at the Fairgrounds on Tuesday, June 16, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Discussions regarding various graduation ceremonies are ongoing. Check the fairgrounds website dutchessfair.com, social media and the Northern & Southern Dutchess News for further updates.

Fair memories In the meantime, fairgoers - from farmers to 4-H members to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to have fun and learn about agriculture - will all recall the fun of the Fair and look forward to next year.

Mark Adams remembers that first date in 1973 very well. "I won the Grand Champion Vegetable Contest that year and spent all the prize money trying to shoot out the red star (game on the midway)," he said. "I didn't do it, but Sue married me anyway. When the Fair comes back next year, I'm going to shoot out that star."

Sue Adams said her granddaughters are disappointed that they won't be able to enter exhbits in the children's division in horticulture at the Fair.

"Last year, Ambika competed against the adults in the Gladiola Division and won a second-place ribbon. All the bulbs were ordered and planted in anticipation of this year's Fair, but will but will have a much smaller audience to enjoy their beauty."

Whalen, a member of the Board of Directors of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society, which runs the Fair,

likens not having the Fair to having no Thanksgiving or Christmas.

He has been involved in showing cattle at the Fair and being a board member for 36 years. "Believe it or not, I have spent almost two years of my life on the Dutchess County Fairgrounds! I wish I had a dollar for every trip I have taken between Millbrook and Rhinebeck."

Whalen said, "Second to the social aspects (of the Fair) is showing our cattle. And this process is a year-round effort, which keeps families busy at home planning and preparing the animals. It is important to note that if one shows livestock, make pies and cakes or pictures or the many other competitions, the excitement of planning to be involved at the Fair is tremendous."

He added, "We are so lucky to have outstanding management people who are so dedicated to the Fair and other activities at the fairgrounds. Please do not underestimate this factor."

Baldwin said the Fair is a time when "agricultural people come together, renewing old friendships with people we may only see during Fair week. Exhibitors have been training their various types of animals, all in preparation for the competition classes held during the week. For 4-Hers, it's the culmination of the past year's work on their projects."

And Whalen has a fitting remembrance as a child. "As a young 4-H member, I used to cry when the Fair ended each year. I am close to doing that once more!"

But Baldwin reminds everyone - "Our r agriculture people - young and old - are resilient. We will be back."

The Dutchess County Fair: Sustaining a great tradition through times of trial

By Melodye Moore Dutchess County Historical Society When the cancellation of the 2020 Dutchess County Fair was announced on June 3, thousands of people were devastated by the news. Since 1842, when the first fair of the modern era took place in Washington Hollow, the annual agricultural fair has been a much anticipated time of family fun and recreation in the days leading into the fall.

Over the years the fair has become a touchstone event in the lives of many. One of those traditions, like Thanksgiving at your grandparents’ house, that people look forward to and pass on from one generation to the next. This year would have been the 175th Fair.

Looking back, I wondered how many times in the past the fair had been cancelled or called upon to struggle through difficult times. Surprisingly, there were very few.

Including this year, the fair has only been cancelled four times. Happily, when a fair was forced to cancel, the organizers responded quickly and in all cases the fair returned the next year to increased success. I have every confidence such will be the case when fair time rolls around in August of 2021.

The first national crisis that might have been expected to impact the fair was the Civil War. Many Dutchess County boys were drafted to serve in the 128th and 150th New York Infantry units that left the Hudson Valley to fight from the beginning of the war on April 12, 1861 through the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9,1865.

A search of the Poughkeepsie Eagle-News for the war years indicates that the fairs weren’t cancelled and continued to be held at the Washington Hollow site that is now the Barracks of Troop K of the New York State Police. The fair had moved to that location in 1852; and in 1862, one year into the war, they had grown the fair to the point that they were able to construct a half-mile track for horse-trotting and a wooden grandstand.

Little is known about 1863, but the 1864 fair which took place on September 27, 28 and 29 was heralded as a tremendous show of horses. Over the three days of the fair, visitors saw a cavalcade of horses, cattle and all other animals that could be driven or led.

Adding to the livestock display was the Niagara Steam Engine # 2 of Poughkeepsie that was drawn from the city to the fairgrounds by four horses.

The next year, 1865, tragedy struck the fair, but it was not as a result of the continuing national struggle, it was the result of a fire. The fairgrounds was located adjacent to the hotel of D.P. Wheeler and a number of fair attendees were lodged in the hotel. On the same property were a number of barns and sheds that were being used to stable the county’s finest horses for the duration of the fair.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle-News of September 28 reported that the fire was discovered at 2 a.m. between the first and second days of the fair and destroyed 18 horses, 50 tons of hay, 100 bushels of oats, and 1520 sets of harness. The most tragic aspect of

the fire was the loss of 3-4 young boys who were sleeping in the barns. The newspapers don’t report on the impact the fire had on fair itself that year, but the Washington Hollow location continued to serve as the fairgrounds until 1888, when a decision was made to relocate to the Hudson River Driving Park in Poughkeepsie.

The move to Poughkeepsie resulted in an immediate growth in attendance, culminating in the 1910 fair when former President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to a crowd of 30,000 people. In the ensuing years, attendance declined and by 1916 the Great War had begun in Europe and there was no fair.

By 1917 the United States had entered war and there was little enthusiasm for revelry. A meager fair that centered around marching guardsmen was all that could be organized, and the Agricultural Society went into 1918 facing severe financial losses. When they were unable to prepay the rental fee for the Driving Park location, the 1918 fair was cancelled.

In hindsight, this may have been providential as the fall of 1918 brought the worst of the Spanish Flu pandemic. At the time, large-scale outdoor gatherings were not being discouraged since it was believed that fresh air might be a deterrent to the spread of the virus. The fate of the fair might have been the same in 1919 when Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Driving Park, refused his consent for the Society to use the park. With the urging and support of a group of local Rhinebeck businessmen, the fair was relocated to Rhinebeck, where it has been for 100 years.

The first years in Rhinebeck brought growth and stabilization, but by the middle of the 1920s the fair was plagued with fire and rain. Circa 1925, a portion of the grandstand burned and 1927 and 1928 were inundated with rain. And lots of it. The newspapers reported that the 1927 fair suffered terrific storms and washouts, and the August 22, 1928 Poughkeepsie Eagle-News headline read “Practically All Events Drowned Out.” Mother Nature rained on all the parades, but the fair persevered and stayed open during those two years.

World War II was declared on December 8, 1941 and questions about the advisability of holding the 1942 fair began in earnest shortly into the new year. The Poughkeepsie Journal edition of June 26 reported “While no final decision has been made by the sponsors of the Dutchess County Fair on the possible abandonment of the century old community party, the latest action of the Office of Defense Transportation leaves no obvious course open than the postponement for the duration of the war.”

The Directors continued to deliberate but ultimately concluded to cancel the fair.

Among the considerations were the fear of mass gatherings that could become a target and the need for gas rationing. In its place, the Christ Church Parish Hall in Pougheepsie hosted a Victory Garden Harvest Show on September 25 and 26. It wasn’t the same.

The idea that the fair could be postponed

In 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt attracted a crowd of 30,000 at the Dutchess County Fair. At the time, his virtually unknown distant cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was making his first campaign run for NY State Senate.

-DCHS Collectionss

for the duration of the war was not acceptable to the Directors of the Agricultural Society, who led the effort to reinstate the fair for the remaining years of the war. The 1943 fair was shortened to three days and showcased an educational exhibit on Victory Gardening. Along with the usual rides was a bond drive that gave everyone who purchased a bond the opportunity to ride in a regulation U.S. Army jeep.

At the end of the 1943 fair, the organizers concluded to hold a fair again in 1944 but did debate the length of the fair. It ultimately was held over four days from August 29 through September 1 and all exhibits were geared toward the war effort. The 101st fair took place in 1946 and, in honor of the end of World War II, was called “The Victory Fair.”

The years between 1948 and 1955 brought a series of natural disasters that must have been incredibly discouraging. In March of 1948, fire destroyed the 4-H Building on the hill. Still, within a year, more than $50,000 had been raised for a new building to replace the original frame structure. In 1954, Hurricane “Carol” dropped more than 2 inches of rain. Newspapers reported that “A pall of gloom hung over the fairgrounds today with the storm virtually wiping out opening day receipts. Three hundred brave hard souls braved the elements.” The storm inflicted severe damage in three cattle tents.

Still reeling from this catastrophe, fair directors were well along in their preparations for the upcoming fair when in July of 1955 another fire raged through parts of the fairgrounds destroying a cattle barn, an Administration Building, a refreshment

stand and the exhibit hall that housed the state police, the entries office and various exhibits. The damage was estimated at $75,000. Ironically the fire took place the same day as the Dutchess County Volunteer Fireman’s Association Convention in Rhinebeck ended with a parade to the fairgrounds for refreshments. Determined to host the fair, the directors rallied, replaced buildings with tents and opened the fair as scheduled.

As was always the case, the years following the fire saw a renewed commitment to the revitalization of the fair. Over the next half century, the Dutchess County Fair continued to grow and carry out its mission to present one of the finest agricultural fairs in the country.

Over the past 178 years, the fair has been confronted with challenges ranging from wars, to fires, to severe weather conditions – circumstances outside the control of the members and directors of the Agricultural Society who work tirelessly to present a safe, wholesome and enjoyable experience for their guests.

In 2011, the last two days of the fair were cancelled due to Hurricane Irene. This year a pandemic unlike anything seen in the last century made it impossible to safely have a fair. While all of us are saddened by this most recent crisis, we should be confident that the fair will be back, stronger and better, and the pleasure and enjoyment will be all the greater when we smell the sausage and peppers, watch the cows parade in the show arena and see the Rhinebeck skyline aglow with the lights of the Ferris wheel.

On to 2021!

COrona Victory In Dutchess New acronym highlights progress; time to move forward safely We can finally see some light at the end of the long, dark COVID tunnel. The number of new cases has slowed and our county has been given clearance to start a limited reopening of public services.

As we anticipate the arrival of Summer, we can also eagerly look forward to enjoying the freedoms we previously took for granted. Soon, we'll be able to enjoy backyard gatherings, and dining in our favorite locally-owned restaurants.

We can appreciate the many, many acts of kindness, large and small, performed by the wonderful residents of our area. We should thank our leaders for their direction, despite not everyone agreeing with the choices that were made. Sadly, we as a community also collectively mourn the loss of 132 lives of local Dutchess County residents. Hopefully, that number will not climb any higher.

At the beginning of the quarantine, I believe that we were all sailing through uncharted waters and often the ride was rocky. Still, it would appear that we can now see the shore. The financial toll was devastating with the local news outlets reporting that 75 percent of small businesses were in serious financial distress. I am not ashamed to admit that Embassy Travel had a 79 percent rate for either cancellation or migration of trips to future travel dates. Fortunately, passengers who departed in January, February and March were able to successfully complete their

trips. All departures in April and May were cancelled. June was eventually added to the no-fly list and now we're starting to receive cancellation notices for July. Those passengers who are scheduled to depart in August or later are taking a wait-and-see approach.

Surely, none of us wish to ever hear the words Coronavirus nor COVID-19 again.

Indeed, perhaps we should consider changing the "meaning" of COVID, the current acronym for "COrona VIrus Disease" to something new and updated something that better represents the spirit of our residents and focuses on the strength of our county. I'd like to suggest "COrona Victory In Dutchess".

I think that we, as a county, have a right to claim victory. As in battle, we have endured evolving strategies. We tried to anticipate the next moves of this "enemy."

We bunkered down and changed our daily routines and did our best to protect our families and friends. We came together as a community to support our healthcare workers, to share information and to sew and supply facemasks to those in need.

Many selfless people extended their help to the more vulnerable population, caring for and feeding those who were sick or homebound. I consider all of these acts of kindness to be a victory and we should feel grateful and proud.

But, what about the future of travel? It actually looks promising and I admit to

being very surprised. Inquiries for travel in 2021 are up and with more enthusiasm than I expected they would be. Families are eagerly anticipating the reopening of Walt Disney World. European river cruise boats are filling quickly.

Travel was not considered essential, yet Hudson Valley Magazine writes that in 2019 inbound travel to the Hudson Valley contributed $601.5 million in revenue just to Dutchess County.

According to Forbes, "The travel and tourism sector grew more in 2018 than all other economic sectors but one, adding a record $8.8 trillion to the world's combined Gross Domestic Product - up from $8.3 trillion in 2017 - as well as 319 million new jobs."

The travel sector was surpassed only by manufacturing and followed by construction, which grossed 5.64 billion. This makes me feel optimistic! Perhaps you also, will start to feel optimistic. Maybe you'll even feel confident enough to think about looking into travel options.

Travel webinars To help you to stoke your wanderlust, Embassy Travel will be hosting a series of complimentary online travel presentations formerly known as "arm chair travel."

You'll be able to get ideas for your next adventure from the comfort of your own living room. The first presentation will feature Viking River Cruises. If you are familiar with Viking Cruises, you're like-

ly anticipating that this will feature a European River Cruise, but, it's not.

Surprise! - Viking is expanding into American waters. You'll want to have a Mint Julep to go with this presentation as it will focus on their newest foray onto the Mississippi River. The Viking River Cruise webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16 at 11 a.m. You will need to contact us to sign up for the webinar and we will provide you with all the details.

Other presentations are in the works and will also be posted on our facebook page.

The travel industry is not considered as "essential" (I certainly disagree) and therefore our office is not yet re-opened to the public. Please contact us via facebook or email us at embassy@frontiernet.net to have access to the presentation or for any other inquiries.

Can we hike?

Enjoying the great outdoors during the pandemic March 27, 2020. My friend Jeff Sherban was facing a second weekend with restaurants, bars and nightclubs closed during the coronavirus pandemic.

Jeff is a professional musician, having played his last gig on Sunday, March 15, as the percussionist in my Irish band, a sort of grand finale on the entertainment industry’s final night of live performances.

Within a few days, people were streaming out of their houses and onto the Hudson Valley’s hiking trails. I figured Jeff would get a kick out of this burgeoning form of entertainment, seeing as how he hardly ever went out during the daytime.

So I called him up.

“Hey, Jeff, want to go on a hike?”

“A hike?” he mumbled. “You mean like, walking?”

“Sure. It’ll be fun. We could climb up Cat Rocks, on the Appalachian trail.”

Afer a minute’s thought, Jeff said, “Okay. What time?”

“8 o’clock.” “a.m?”

“Yeah, we have to beat the crowds. And bring some water.”

“What’s water?”

The Appalachian trail is a 2,000-mile path that runs from Georgia to Maine, crossing the Hudson River on the Bear Mountain Bridge and exiting Dutchess County east of Quaker Hill in Pawling.

Cat Rocks is a half-mile section of the trail with a steep scramble leading to a stunning viewpoint taking in the breadth of the Housatonic Valley along the New York-Connecticut frontier.

When Jeff and I arrived at the parking spot, under a giant oak tree along West Dover Road in Pawling, the roadside was already cluttered with cars pulled in at odd angles. Quite a few people were hiking, many of them turning back at the first steep slope. Families with dogs.

Grandparents and grandkids. At that time

people were told not to wear masks. It was a glorious late-winter day.

Although it was too early for spring wildflowers, I showed Jeff the emerging skunk cabbages and fiddleheads. We passed a magnificent shagbark hickory a few minutes into the hike. Jeff pointed out that drumsticks are made of hickory wood. Near the top, a roaring waterfall seemed to come from nowhere. We met a pair of through-hikers heading south on their six-month journey.

And then the summit. Of course, Jeff wasn’t even winded. Drummers have a lot of energy. We were both blown away by the spectacular view, enjoying the day, unaware of what the next few months might bring.

I had planned this outing to be a sort of Bill Bryson-esque article for my bi-weekly newspaper column, informing my readers of the pleasures of the great outdoors during the pandemic shutdown.

Jeff didn’t mind if I exaggerated his unworldliness, for the sake of my art. He’s actually quite a sophisticated guy, holding down a full-time job deemed essential during the lock-down.

I was really laying it on thick, writing about Jeff seeing his first squirrel, and a bird he mistook for a bat. But as I was looking up a few random facts about the Appalachian trail, up popped a warning: “Hikers urged to stay off the trail.” It seemed that, around the weekend of March 28, local hiking trails were suddenly dangerously overcrowded. I had to kill the article.

Fast-forward 10 weeks. People are venturing out of their cocoons. Restaurants are open for al fresco dining. I went back on the internet to see if the Appalachian trail was open, hoping to make some use of my mothballed article. I googled Appalachian trail, Scenic Hudson, Hike the Hudson Valley, you name it. All I could get was the usual advisories, including “if parking area is full, seek a different

location.” Also, the trail shelters are closed. One site said click “here” for further information. I clicked “here” and up popped a biography of Governor Cuomo.

I also accidentally refinanced my mort-

this week’s puzzle solutions

gage.

Finally, I decided to drive back to Cat Rocks to see what was up. At 8:30 a.m. last Saturday, the Nuclear Lake parking lot on the corner of Old Route 55 was already full. But there was nobody at Cat Rocks, so I parked, grabbed my mask and went looking for some wildflowers. It’s too late for native spring flowers and a bit early for some summer flowers like daisies (which are not native). I did find woodland geraniums, buttercups, a blue flag iris, a snapping turtle and a rose-breasted grosbeak perched in the hickory tree.

I might get in trouble for this, but my suggestion for would-be hikers is, stay local, get out very early, bring your mask, give fellow hikers a wide berth, and have a good time.

CAMO Pollution Control seeks volunteers in United Wappinger Water District for water samples The United Wappinger Water District is required by the State Health Department to comply with a vast sampling program for many different analyses. Most of the sampling with the exception of lead and copper and coliform is completed without involving the residents.

Current sampling requirements call for samples to be collected for lead and copper from 60 different homes within

the United Wappinger Water District.

The requirements call for a minimum of six hours of no water usage from tap where the sample will be collected and sample preferably be collected at first draw of water in the morning prior to any other water use. This obviously requires customers' involvement.

Therefore we are looking for volunteers to collect a water sample for CAMO. The general procedures are as fol-

lows and more detailed instructions will be sent at time of delivery of the sample bottle: 1. Volunteers selected are required to provide address and contact information 2. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. personnel will coordinate with volunteers, drop off a one-quart container. The volunteer will collect the sample with the first draw of water in the morning letting, no letting water run or rinsing of

the bottle.

3. The collected sample bottle should be left in the same location as delivered and CAMO Pollution Control personnel will pick it up.

4.

All results from this monitoring effort will be sent to the volunteers so they will have a record.

Please contact CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. if one is interested in volunteering at 845-463-7310.

Howland Public Library programs still available to assist community

By Kristine Coulter Howland Public Library has been closed since NY State PAUSE. The library still continues to offer resources and virtual programs to the community.

Staff are working to begin contactless pickup, possibly this week. “Even though the library’s Main Street building is closed, the library continues to serve the community through its eBranch digital resources and expanding virtual programming. Any community members in the Beacon City School District who do not have a library card are encouraged to sign up online at https://beaconlibrary.org/library-card/ to get instant access to the library’s free eResources. These eResources include Job One, which offers job search support and assistance including resume help and interview coaching,� explained Kristen Salierno, Library Director.

The library’s mission is the perfect example of what they do for the community, said Salierno.

That mission is to provide “free and equal access to information, education, enrichment, and personal growth experiences. Our goal is to enrich our community by facilitating life-long learning and to promote social responsibility through collaborations which encourage innovative solutions to personal, community, and social issues.�

She noted, “As for contactless pick up we aim to start the service the week of June 8.� “Programming Librarians have been busy expanding the library’s offerings of online programs. Adults can participate in

an email version of the monthly book club, interact and have fun at our online monthly philosophy group, "Socrates Cafe," and enjoy many other online special events. Children can share their creativity in a weekly LEGO challenge and families enjoy weekly story time with Children’s Librarian, Ginny Figlia. Teens meet online to play Dungeons and Dragons and draw in the library’s teen Zine Club. New programs like a Teen Book Club, Zoom sewing workshops and virtual performances for all ages started in May. The library’s Community Art initiative continues online, hosting a digital exhibit of artwork from all six schools of the Beacon City School District starting the first week in June,� said Salierno.

Salierno added that HPL librarians are finalizing plans for an “innovative virtual summer reading program.�

They will be using the NYS READsquared online book logging program. “It's very interactive, and for the children will include challenges and prizes. We also have our favorite performers bringing us their amazing virtual programs for all to enjoy, as well as fantastic adult events,� said the director. “The Board of Trustees, myself, and the staff are focusing on finalizing plans to begin contactless pick-up service for the library. We, as many community members, are very eager to begin this service.

Safety is the most crucial and important factor in the library beginning this service. We are fine tuning a safety plan for our patrons, staff, and community that will keep everyone as safe as possible,
