Renegades baseball in doubt as NYPL season 'delayed indefinitely'

By Rich Thomaselli It's getting down to crunch time now for the Hudson Valley Renegades.

The 2020 season, scheduled to start this week, is in danger after the New York-Penn League announced on Friday it was suspending the start of the short-season Class A minor league season due to the ramifications of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Renegades were set to open on the road on June 18 and were scheduled to have their home opener at Dutchess Stadium on June 24.

The league said it will suspend play indefinitely and cancel the New YorkPenn League All-Star game, scheduled in August.

"Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the 2020 New YorkPenn League season is being delayed indefinitely," the league said in a statement. "The league and its clubs will continue to monitor the situation and work with our Major League Baseball affiliates, while following the recommendations of public health officials and adhering to local reopening guidelines."

All professional sports went on hiatus in March and are only now beginning to make arrangements to return, albeit with major restrictions.

The National Basketball Association, for instance, will have all teams resume the season in one place at World Disney World, with no fans in attendance.

Major League Baseball, however, has dropped the ball and negotiations

The Hudson Valley Renegades' season is in doubt now that the New York - Penn League has suspended play indefinitely and Major League Baseball owners and players are having labor and financial issues.

between the owners and players over when and how to start the season have degenerated into a labor and financial issue.

Even if the Majors come to an agreement in the coming days, that's still no guarantee that minor league teams like the Renegades, a farm team of the Tampa Bay Rays, will return to the

field. Minor League Baseball relies heavily on tickets, parking and concessions.

With no fans, no income.

"We appreciate everyone's patience during these unprecedented times," the Renegades said in a statement. "Stay safe, be well, and we hope to see you at Dutchess Stadium soon."

Former Texaco site receives inquiries

By Kristine Coulter The former Texaco Research Center site in the Town of Fishkill has had some inquiries on the almost 155-acre site.

“We are not able to comment on the inquiries we have received regarding specific lots or the entire property at this time,” said Jaclyn Kruzich, Corporate Affairs Advisor for Chevron Environmental Management and Real Estate Company. She said the corporation continues to receive inquiries related to the site, which are company confidential.

“The revised Remedial Investigation Report is being prepared for submittal to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Department of Health by the June 29, 2020 deadline,” noted Kruzich.

The property is bisected by Fishkill Creek, a tributary of the Hudson River, was first home to a wool and saw mill erected on the property back in 1811. It grew significantly during the

County COVID-19 update

Molinaro talks fiscal impact of pandemic, presses state for wider reopening parameters

By Kate Goldsmith Hosting his Friday virtual Town Hall this past week from Dutchess Stadium, County Executive Marc Molinaro said Dutchess is "ready to push into the summer" and discussed various efforts to petition the state for a wider berth on reopening ahead of the July 4th weekend. During his Wednesday telephone/Facebook Town Hall on June 10, Molinaro highlighted the fiscal impact of COVID19, among other topics.

The pandemic has decimated state and local budgets across the nation, and Dutchess County has not been spared. Molinaro spoke of a projected sales tax revenue decline of $20 million-$50 million in 2020. Sales tax accounts for 41 percent of the county's 2020 budget, he said; and three of the sales-tax payments the county has received from New York State in 2020, reflecting sales tax revenues since March 1, have been lower than 2019. In the wake of a projected $40 million-$80 million revenue loss, Dutchess County Government has offered its workforce a voluntary furlough program, which 66 employees across various departments have volunteered for, and implemented freezes on hiring and non-essential spending.

Funding from New York State accounts for 16 percent of Dutchess County's annual budget, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo has suggested the pandemic may result in as much as a 20-percent cut in state aid to local counties, resulting in a projected loss of $15 million-$20 million to Dutchess. Molinaro said he will continue to advocate for state and federal aid for counties like Dutchess to avoid being forced to eliminate critical services and programs.

This somber news notwithstanding, the county moves ahead with promise.

The Mid-Hudson region, including Dutchess, began Phase 2 of the "NY Forward" re-opening process on Tuesday, June 9, as several business categories and activities were permitted to open with certain criteria.

Molinaro noted that he and other leaders in the Mid-Hudson region had advocated for adding several other activities to Phase 2; those that were approved include: - outdoor dining at local restaurants, with safety restrictions in place; - in-person instruction for special education students this summer; - in-person services at houses of worship, limited to 25-percent capacity; Molinaro has asked the state to revise this restriction when proper social distancing can be achieved.

Civil War when it began manufacturing the blue serge cloth used for Union Army uniforms. The mill was permanently closed in 1929, with Texaco purchasing the property in 1932, for more than 70 years. Texaco merged with Chevron in 2001, and closed it in 2003.

Environmental clean-up at the site has been the primary focus, according to the Glenham Mills website, https://www.glenhammills.com/.

A Community Advisory Panel (CAP) was formed in 2011 to facilitate dialogue between Chevron and the community.

Meetings are held several times a year on the topics of the cleanup work and future use/redevelopment of the property.

Town of Fishkill Supervisor Ozzy Albra said he would like to see the property used for “a factory or small tech center.� If that is not feasible, he said he would like it to be used a site for recreation purposes. “No high-density housing,� added Albra.

The supervisor noted there was a meeting earlier this year with residents who were upset, he said, the property was listed for sale.

Earlier this year, samples of groundwater were taken. “Because the sampling was only recently completed in April, the samples are still at the lab undergoing analysis.

With that said, we do not expect results to be different from our historical results, which found 2-3 compounds just above drinking water standards in a few wells within the boundaries of the Chevron property,� said Kruzich.

She noted, “We sample groundwater semiannually every year and report

the results to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).�

Asked when the remedial report is expected, she replied, “We expect the Remedial Investigation Report to be delivered to the NYSDEC by the end of June. We will place a copy of the report in the Blodgett Memorial Library in Fishkill for public review at that time.�

As for what the report entails, Kruzich responded, “The Remedial Investigation Report presents the results of the various environmental site investigations conducted on the property and compares the results to state standards. “Due to restrictions related to COVID19, the [Quarter 2] CAP meeting has been canceled. We will announce the next meeting via email and on the website. In the meantime, we will continue to provide monthly updates,� remarked Kruzich.

State COVID-19 update

The numbers look good now, but Cuomo issues a warning on violations

By Kate Goldsmith Once the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, New York has radically brought down infections, hospitalizations and deaths from the virus through state directives and the overall responsible actions of its residents.

However, over the weekend, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state had received approximately 25,000 complaints about businesses and individuals - mostly in New York City and the Hamptons - violating social-distance and reopening guidelines.

On Sunday, Cuomo laid it on the line for anyone who would jeopardize the "really great progress" the state has made in its fight against the coronavirus.

"We've been getting reports from all across the state of large gatherings, socialdistancing violations and people are not wearing masks - and we want to remind all individuals and businesses, especially bars and restaurants, that failure to follow the state's reopening rules and guidelines will result in serious consequences," said the governor. "...our behavior is what's keeping these numbers down, and the numbers can change in a week if we don't remain disciplined and follow the guidelines and protocols in place."

He reiterated that bars and restaurants who violate the reopening rules and guidelines could lose their liquor license. Additionally, individuals can be fined for open-container and social-distancing violations. The governor also reminded local governments to enforce all reopening rules and guidelines, and that any failure to enforce these rules could result in the closure of businesses.

Two days earlier, Cuomo pointed out that "cases of COVID-19 were increasing in nearly two dozen states that have begun reopening, and 15 states have seen record highs in the past two days. As New York reopens, however, we are continuing to see a decline in the number of daily new COVID cases."

Cuomo said the state currently has the

nation's lowest rate of transmission (Rt) at 0.77. An Rt of 1 or higher means that COVID-19 is increasing; an Rt of below 1 means it is decreasing.

"Why is our state one of the rare few where case numbers continue to decline even as the state reopens? I believe it's because of New Yorkers' discipline and caution - including the widespread wearing of face-masks," the governor said. "We must continue to be disciplined. If we stay the course, we will avoid the 'second waves' that other countries are now grappling with."

On Sunday, Cuomo announced the state had reached the lowest number of hospitalizations and deaths since the pandemic began. The number of total hospitalizations was down to 1,657 on Saturday, the lowest level since March 20. Twenty-three people in New York passed away due to COVID19, down from a record-high of 800 nine weeks ago.

The state has launched a campaign, "It's Up to Us, New York," to remind New Yorkers to keep doing their part to fight coronavirus. The campaign will appear across social media, on MTA buses and trains and on billboards across the state.

IN BRIEF: - The deadline to submit absentee ballots has been extended to June 23. To be counted, primary ballots must be postmarked by June 23. A previously issued Executive Order allows all New Yorkers to vote absentee in the June 23 primary elections and ensures every New Yorker registered to vote receives a postage-paid absentee ballot application in the mail.

- Low-risk youth sports for regions in Phase 3 of reopening can begin on July 6, with up to two spectators allowed per child.

- The state is extending the special openenrollment period in the New York State of Health Health Plan Marketplace for an additional 30 days through July 15.

- Cuomo signed legislation (S.8245A/A.10517) requiring the State Department

of Health to conduct a study on the health impacts of COVID-19 on minorities in New York State. The state previously conducted an antibody testing survey at churches in lower-income New York City communities and communities of color, which showed higher infection rates among individuals in these communities compared to the overall population.

- Out of the 62,359 tests conducted in New York State on Saturday, only 694, or 1.1 percent, were positive. The Hudson Valley's percentage of positive tests over a three-day period was 1.1 percent on Thursday, 1.3 percent on Friday and 1 percent on Saturday.

- Due to coronavirus, there is a shortage of blood, and blood donations are urgently needed across New York State. Learn how and where to donate at http://ny.gov/donateblood.

- Last week, Cuomo signed legislation to improve transparency in police disciplinary records and ban police choke holds, among other reforms that will help restore trust and

improve the relationship between police and the communities they serve.

- Following a spike in domestic violence cases, Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa issued a report outlining the COVID-19 Domestic Violence Task Force's initial recommendations. Approved by Cuomo, the recommendations call for overhauling and reimagining a 40-year-old system to meet domestic abuse survivors where they are and to empower them to have the maximum control of their future.

- The new deadline for filing property tax abatements is July 15. Last week, Cuomo signed legislation authorizing local governments to extend this deadline in recognition of the hardships many families and businesses continue to face as a result of the COVID19 pandemic.

- Testing remains a top priority. There are now more than 800 COVID-19 testing sites across the state. More information on where and how to get tested for COVID-19 is available at coronavirus.health.ny.gov.

ones during a pandemic fraught with stress and uncertainty.

- The Dutchess County's COVID-19 data dashboard has been updated. The Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health (DBCH) completed the transition to the New York State-wide CommCare Contact Tracing system, phasing out the

previously used contact-tracing system. In verifying cases to be transferred to the new CommCare system, a significant number of individuals have been removed from the county's active cases count, while the county continues to receive new data from the state. This dashboard will be updated regularly.

- high school graduations, limited to 150 attendees, including students, families and staff. On Friday, Molinaro said he has advocated for larger in-person graduations and large outdoor spaces where proper social distancing is possible.

"Keeping parties and activities small is in everyone's self-interest," said Molinaro.

Also allowed in Phase 2 are garage and tag sales (limit 10 people) and small parties with "family and friends you trust (to be following safety protocols)," Molinaro said. Car pooling for short distances, with everyone wearing face-coverings, is OK, as well.

Visits to nursing homes are still not allowed.

Barring any setbacks, the Mid-Hudson region will begin Phase 3 of reopening this coming Tuesday, June 23. Phase 3 businesses include indoor dining at restaurants, food trucks and concession; and personal care services (personal care businesses, including tattoo and piercing facilities, appearance enhancement practitioners, massage therapy, spas, cosmetology, nail specialty, UV and non-UV tanning, or waxing). Then, if all continues to go as planned, Phase 4 would start on Tuesday, July 7; but Molinaro is asking the state to grant permission for the date to be pushed up to Friday, July 3 so local businesses could take advantage of the holiday weekend. Phase 4 includes schools and arts, entertainment and recreation businesses.

More information about Phases 2 and 3 of the re-opening process, and how they affect local businesses and activities, can be found at www.restartingdutchess.com .

IN BRIEF: - Molinaro announced that there will be three fireworks displays to celebrate Independence Day. They will car-based and set to begin at 9:30 p.m. at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, Silo Ridge in Amenia and Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill. Admission will be first-come first-served.

- The Office for the Aging's Senior Picnics will be drive-through events, where the county will buy lunches from local businesses to hand out to seniors who have registered in advance. Seniors will receive a postcard in the mail announcing the picnics.

- Molinaro urged parents who depend on summer camp as childcare to reach out to camps to confirm space is available for their children. Day camps are now permitted to operate in the Mid-Hudson region, and with COVID-19 condensing their timeline, many camps now have very short registration periods to ensure proper staffing levels. Registration is open through June 22 for the Dutchess County Parks Division's Adventure and Survival summer programs for children ages 9-17 at Bowdoin Park in the Town of Poughkeepsie and Wilcox Park in the Town of Milan. Registration is on a firstcome, first-served basis on the Dutchess County Parks website, https://www.dutchessny.gov/Departments /Parks/Parks.htm.

- Molinaro continued his advocacy to the New York State Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) to allow visitation for families with loved ones living in residential group homes.

For almost three months, the state has not allowed those with disabilities living in such facilities to visit with their families, further isolating them from their loved

Molinaro ‘encourages’ Cuomo to resume youth sports To Governor Cuomo: During the current COVID-19 pandemic, our children have been some of those most negatively impacted by the difficult decisions we, as leaders, have had to make. In addition to being unable to finish the school year in the classroom with their friends, many of the fun activities that accompany childhood have had to be understandably curbed.

Given we, as a state, are well into the NY Forward re-opening process, I ask you officially give youth sports teams the ability to resume practice and play at County parks throughout the state, as such activities enhance our children’s lives in numerous ways.

Physical activity and socialization are two important components in developing well rounded and healthy children. They are also two benefits of youth sports, in addition to countless other virtues sports teach children, including teamwork, fair play, winning with humility, and losing with grace. Moreover, youth sports allow our children to take advantage of the warm weather, escape the indoor confines to which they’ve been relegated since mid-March, and enjoy the chance to simply be a kid with friends they haven’t seen in months.

Given the progress our state has made in flattening the curve and managing the spread of Coronavirus/COVID-19, not to mention the continued re-opening more businesses and activities throughout our state, allowing youth sports to resume is the right thing to do for our children. Games such as baseball, softball, and soccer, among others, by their very nature, easily allow for social distancing, with players spaced out on very large fields. As such, I strongly encourage you to permit our children to salvage part of their summer by resuming youth sports.

I thank you in advance for your attention to my request – and that of children across Dutchess County and the state – and I hope you soon offer the guidance at will allow them to resume their athletic activities.

Marcus J. Molinaro Dutchess County Executive

Fire service transitions to a new normal To the Editor: As our community starts to transition to phase two of the reopening of businesses and services from the pandemic. The Hughsonville Fire District along with other districts in the county look to establish how to best respond to our constituents needs in time of an emergency in this post pandemic world.

During the period of the stay at home orders the calls for emergency services dropped in number. Regular meetings and training sessions for the department were cancelled.

New guidelines defining what was mission critical were established to safeguard the

The Hughsonville Fire Department along with other departments started to receive requests for assistance from their constituents of a different nature. Some of our younger citizens in the district were forced to give up an annual event with the stay at home orders. While to some of us adults a birthday is another year gone by. When we were younger we would look forward to that day of celebration.

So if you happened to hear the wail of sirens and see the flashing of lights on your street with a contingent of fire trucks and other emergency service vehicles moving slowly through. It was the response to a call for assistance in helping that young citizen celebrate that special day.

From March to our last birthday response on June 6, 2020 the department responded to over 30 requests. In all responses strict staffing, personal protection, and social distancing were enforced Not only did it answer a request for assistance it gave the volunteer members the ability to maintain their driving proficiency and ensure vehicle readiness for the next emergency response.

Dads, kids missing Father's Day sports traditions

By Rich Thomaselli It is, arguably, the most iconic scene in sports movie history.

Kevin Costner, who played the farmer who hears voices that convince him to plow under his crops to create a baseball field in Iowa, realizes at the end of the film "Field Of Dreams" that he was destined to make amends with his deceased father.

When he finally sees the ghostly apparition, his voice breaks as he says, "Hey … Dad? You wanna have a catch?"

What man who has children who play sports can watch that film and not get a little misty-eyed?

"Not me," says Wappingers Falls resident Chuck Murphy. "It gets me every time."

But as Father's Day approaches for Murphy, Hopewell resident Bill Wagner, Pine Plains' Les Funk, and countless other dads of student-athletes, it has been a frustrating, emotional time. Since midMarch they have been without sports professional, college, high school and youth - due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Essentially, it's been the complete opposite. It's been a spring of NOT watching sports on TV or their children on the field.

"It's been very tough," said Wagner, whose daughter Elaina, a junior, is a star softball player at Our Lady of Lourdes High School who just gave her verbal commitment to play college softball at Division I Villanova University. "This is a kid who played soccer and softball for Lourdes, and outside of high school plays all softball (for travel teams). To watch a kid who loves the game as much as she does, to miss out for playing for your high school, that was sad."

Wagner actually had some experience in this matter. Elaina's older brothers, Billy and Johnny, were standout football players at Lourdes who helped the team to the 2015 state championship game.

Billy went on to Hamilton College and Johnny is at Endicott, but Billy missed a portion of his senior year this past fall after injuring his ankle.

"I really didn't have to say anything or console him too much because all three of my kids knew from an early age, you have to work for what you want," Bill said.

"My kids knew from an early age, you have to work at it. And they did, whether it was summer camps, sports camps, practices, going to the field to practice on their own, whatever. Nobody ever babied them

for anything they got. We got very fortunate with Billy, Johnny and Elaina."

For Murphy, missing the season "was like pulling my heart out," he said.

But there was a silver lining - his son, Ryan, a former star pitcher at Roy C. Ketcham High School who had his junior year cut short at Division II LeMoyne College this spring, was nonetheless considered one of the best pitchers in the country and last Thursday night was selected in the fifth round, the 144th overall pick, by the San Francisco Giants in the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft.

It was, not to be too dramatic, a 'Field Of Dreams' kind of moment.

"The apprehension was crazy," Chuck Murphy said. "Ryan's twin brother Matthew, my son Nick, my wife Theresa and myself, we were all sitting there waiting and wondering. We were jumping all over each other, I was hugging my wife … it was just an amazing moment."

For Funk, his emotions ran the gamut not only did he coach his son Zach on the boys varsity basketball team at Pine Plains, he also coached his nephews, Adam and Tyler Funk. But his nephews were also expected to be key cogs for a Bombers baseball team that had a legitimate chance to go to the state Final Four this year.

But after winning the Section 9, Class C boys basketball title in mid-March, the coronavirus pandemic reached the Hudson Valley and Pine Plains was eliminated after being forced to play a state regional game at Alexander Hamilton in Westchester instead of on a neutral court.

And then baseball season was canceled in its entirety.

"Heartbreaking," Les Funk said. "First there was the unfortunate situation that we couldn't play the basketball game at a neutral site like it was supposed to be. And then came baseball, and that senior class was one of the best. They've been pointing to this year since Little League. It was tough as a coach, but it was tough as a father and an uncle."

But Funk was able to wear all three hats to help them through it.

"You know, it's really hard on these kids considering all they lost. All the students proms, graduation, not having a last moment with friends," Funk said. "When the dust settles, though, you try to use it as a life lesson and a teachable moment."

Funk paused.

"But for a dad, your heart still breaks," he said.

Former Ketcham star Murphy picked by Giants in MLB Draft

By Rich Thomaselli Like any prospect, Ryan Murphy heard all the talk and read all the stories leading up to Thursday's 2020 Major League Baseball Draft.

The former Roy C. Ketcham High School and current LeMoyne College star pitcher certainly had an inkling his name could be called on national television but, well, he didn't want to jinx it.

"I don't know if I really expected it," the Wappingers Falls resident said. "I want to say in the back of my mind I always had hope, but deep down I also wanted to be realistic."

Then it happened.

Murphy heard his name called on Thursday night when the San Francisco Giants selected him in the fifth round of the draft with the 144th pick overall.

"I wasn't even called," he said, expecting his cell to ring with some sort of notification if he was going to be imminently selected. Instead, "it was announced on TV and I just went numb when I heard it."

Murphy had been on a skyrocketing path ever since he dominated the Hudson Valley in 2017 in his senior year at RCK, earning Dutchess County Coaches Association Large Schools Pitcher of the Year honors after striking out 74 batters in 58 innings and pitching to a miniscule 0.46 earned run average.

At Division II LeMoyne, he went 16-9

overall with a 3.40 ERA over two seasons, including a no-hitter as a freshman in 2018 against New Haven.

Right now, he has no clue what's next.

With the coronavirus pandemic having wiped out his junior year at LeMoyne, and with Major and Minor League Baseball still in flux over when and if the sport will return, Murphy is awaiting further instruction.

Murphy joins a long, distinguished list of players from the Hudson Valley who were drafted into professional baseball.

Most recently, Beacon's Lenny Torres was a first-round pick of the Cleveland Indians in 2018 and fellow pitcher Mike Pascoe of Arlington was taken in the same draft. John Jay graduate Joe Panik was drafted by the Giants in 2011 and was starting at second base three years later in the World Series.

Hyde Park's Rick Horton was also drafted by the Giants in 1977 before deciding on college. He was drafted again in 1980 in the fourth round by the St. Louis Cardinals, and had a successful Major League pitching career that included three World Series - in 1985 and 1987 with the Cardinals, and in 1988 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The bevy of standouts from the area taken in the Draft over the years also include pitcher Joe Ausanio, who made it to the bigs with the New York Yankees;

Ryan Murphy, who comes from Wappingers Falls, was drafted by the San Francisco Giants.

pitcher Rob Bell and outfielder Dermal Brown both of Marlboro, who were taken in the third and first rounds in 1995 and '96 by the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals, respectively, and both made it to the majors; Roosevelt pitching teammates Frank Cimorelli (taken by St. Louis in 1989) and Jeff Pierce (signed as a free

agent the same year by the White Sox); as well as several others.

Murphy said he was proud to join that list.

"I'm so excited to go to play for the San Francisco organization," he said. "It's a dream come true. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out."

Sparrow’s Nest sets $25,000 goal Deadline is June 21

By Kristine Coulter Sparrow’s Nest has set a goal to reach $25,000 be June 21 – Father’s Day. The charity that helps feed families who have as a caregiver going through cancer treatment is almost there.

“With what the community of the Hudson Valley has been challenged with, the restrictions through the pandemic and the daily stay at home order, the team at Sparrow's Nest created the idea that let's get everyone outside, challenge them on a physical level, have them achieve a personal goal and in doing so, raise money for Sparrow's Nest,” said Michelle Bastian-Taylor, Sparrow's Nest of the Hudson Valley. “Over the course of the pandemic, the Sparrow's Nest had to outsource its’ food preparation and delivery service, more than doubling our weekly costs to feed our recipients.

Fortunately we were able to continue to feed our families and in turn, kept a couple of our establishments working.”

Bastian-Taylor noted the 5K is 3.1 miles and “that’s achievable.”

“Whether it be running, walking, hiking, biking, golfing, dancing....just moving. It can be a personal goal, partnering up with someone or simple enough for the entire family to achieve. It's about having fun and helping keep The Nest strong,” she said.

As for what people should know about the charity, Bastian-Taylor replied, “Our mission through the COVID-19 pandemic was 'While New York has stopped, Sparrow's Nest has not', and we cannot be more grateful to our amazing community, our sponsors, donors and the business community as we are at this very moment.

Our families will continue to be fed, continue to be taken care of and how proud we are of each and every one of you who has helped make this happen!”

By Rich Thomaselli An iconic piece of the Village of Wappingers Falls has closed.

Eddie's Gourmet Pizza has shut down its Wappingers location after 31 years, leaving only its Newburgh restaurant to serve up some of the greatest pizza concoctions you can think of.

Roger Gordek, owner of the Wappingers store, said he was saddened to have to shutter the business but he had no choice.

"It was a bunch of things," he said. "It wasn't just the impact of the coronavirus.

That was kind of the last straw, so to speak."

Eddie's Gourmet Pizza has been a fixture for more than a generation. You want to decide the dilemma of whether pineapple belongs on a pizza? Eddie's pies include the South of the Border (ground beef, hot peppers, fresh tomatoes, onion and cheddar), the El Ranchero (chicken cutlet, diced bacon, ranch dressing) and, yes, the Maui Waui (smoked ham and

pineapple).

The eatery also offers appetizers, hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, rolls and calzones and desserts.

Asked his favorite, Gordek said "All of it. I just love making food."

While Gordek praised the efforts of entities like Wappingers RISES, he did say all that has happened in the Village in recent years - the 2012 collapse of Goring Hall, the 2017 fire on West Main St. and the Market St. fire three months ago - has taken its toll.

"The village has been run down but it's coming back now and there's good things being done," he said. "But everybody is fighting and trying to survive. I know them. They're all hurting."

Gordek now heads to the Newburgh location to help there.

I worked seven days a week for 10 years. I only had off on Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the Fourth of July," he said. "Now maybe I'll get my birthday off."

Red Cross now testing all blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies For a limited time, the American Red Cross is testing all blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies, providing donors insight into whether they have been exposed to this coronavirus. At the same time, there continues to be an urgent need for blood donations as hospitals resume surgeries and treatments that require blood products.

Antibody testing will indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus, regardless of whether they developed symptoms.

Donations will be tested using samples pulled at the time of donation and sent to a testing laboratory where they will also undergo routine infectious disease testing.

The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose illness, referred to as a diagnostic test.

Donation appointments can be made by downloading the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Thanks to Amazon, all those who come to give June 1-30 will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email.

DCRCOC announces annual Hot-Air Balloon Festival postponed until fall

By Rich Thomaselli The coronavirus pandemic knows no boundaries.

Once again the deadly virus has wreaked havoc on an event that draws thousands of people, forcing the announcement last week by the Dutchess County Chamber of Commerce that it was postponing the 29th annual Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival.

The event was to take place July 1012 at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck.

Organizers said the festival will now take place in the fall, though they did not specify an exact weekend.

"The decision was not made lightly, but safety and health of our attendees and staff are our utmost concern," the official announcement read.

In an interview with the Southern Dutchess News, Dutchess County

Chamber of Commerce president Frank Castella echoed the quotes from the press release.

"We thought we would be able to hold out long enough and perhaps deliver a drive-in format where maybe people could bring a picnic and a blanket and be able to social distance.

Maybe like years ago, when the Festival was spread out around the county," he said. "We talked with our sponsors and we wanted to try to do something uplifting - pardon the pun for our community. We wanted to have people relish going to an event like this. Going forward, we're looking at venues.

"But, look, right now some communities don't want people coming in from the outside," said Castella. "So there might be the possibility to spread some of this around the county so the impact isn't so large on one community."

The annual Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival has been postponed until fall, the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce announced. Pictured are balloons from a previous year’s event.

Wappinger Veterans Memorial Highway legislation passes both state houses Senator Sue Serino and Assemblyman Kieran Lalor announced that their bill to designate State Route 9 in the Town of Wappinger as ‘Wappinger Veterans Memorial Highway’ has passed both houses of the Legislature.

“There will never be enough words to express the full depth of our gratitude to our veterans who have made tremendous sacrifices for all of us,” said Serino.

“Thousands of residents and visitors alike travel this stretch of road regularly, and naming it in honor of our veterans is one of the many ways our community is working to continually honor their service and dedication. The Wappinger Veterans Memorial Highway will help send an important message to our vets that they will forever have a grateful community behind them. I thank our servicemen and women and all of those who played a role in this important initiative.”

“I am proud to have sponsored this bill along with Senator Sue Serino with local assistance from the Town of Wappinger.

We are now able to recognize our veterans

by renaming a portion of Route 9 in their honor. Courageous Wappinger residents like Sergeant Mark Palmateer and Major Daniel Martz are appropriately recognized by name in local memorials and we are fortunate to have other veterans’ monuments in the area. Route 9 in Wappinger is also home to the first in the country POW / MIA Memorial Park placed in honor of Wappinger Falls resident Major Joseph McDonald who was shot down over Vietnam. As noted by the Wappinger Town Board in a resolution, it is very fitting for the most heavily traveled highway in Wappinger to be named for all the men and women of Wappinger who have served our nation.

This name change will help bring recognition and remembrance to our local veterans and their service while people travel, shop and work on the Wappinger Veterans Memorial Highway in the Town of Wappinger,” said Assemblyman Kieran Michael Lalor, 105th Assembly District Wappinger Town Supervisor Richard Thurston, said, "The Town of Wappinger

is elated that both the NY State Senate and Assembly have approved bills that would allow us to designate the section of Route 9 that runs through the Town as our Veterans Memorial Highway. The ongoing recognition and support given to our veterans is a very important initiative on which I and the Town Board have focused our attention. Thanks to Deputy Supervisor Kevin Hathorn and Randy Ross for their efforts to bring this dream to reality. We deeply appreciate the support and efforts of Senator Serino and Assemblyman Lalor."

Kevin Hathorn, Navy Veteran and Town of Wappinger Deputy Supervisor, welcomes this legislation saying, “Its long term goal is to memorialize Route 9 through the Town of Wappinger, New York, as Wappinger Veterans Memorial Highway. We look forward to the erection of signs at the North and South boundaries of Wappinger township on Route 9. Once the signs are installed, a ceremony commemorating this event is planned. All are welcome to join in this celebration. Thanks are due to Randy Ross for

his energy and devotion to making this happen."

“Town of Wappinger Supervisor Richard Thurston has proclaimed 2020 as the ‘Year of the Veteran.’ To honor our vets, Dr. Thurston asked Deputy Supervisor Kevin Hathorn and myself, as members of the Town Veterans Advisory Committee, to create programs and lasting memorials to show appreciation and honor for our vets. Re-naming our portion of Route 9 in the Town ‘Wappingers Veterans Memorial Highway’ will be a daily reminder to our citizens and any travelers through our town that our veterans will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts,” said Randy Ross, town Veterans Advisory Committee.

The legislation was introduced at the request of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger. The Town chose this particular stretch of roadway to be named in honor of our veterans, as it is the most heavily trafficked highway within the town. The bill will now be sent to the Governor to be signed into law.

‘Day 22 Challenge’ to raise awareness, funds to support veterans What a difference a year makes. One year ago this week, I was passing the halfway point of the VetZero Walk Across America. When I reached the town of Valentine, Nebraska I had covered roughly 1,4000 miles on foot, with another 1,400 or so left to go. Last summer seems so distant, especially with all the challenges we’ve been presented with here in 2020.

But the more things change, the more they stay the same. We started the VetZero Walk Across America to raise awareness on the issues that matter most to our veterans, especially the sobering statistic from the VA that every day in America, 22 of our veterans take their own lives. And with the isolation of the current pandemic, we can only assume that number of 22 suicides is not going down.

After the walk ended last summer, we promised that although the walk had ended, our journey had just begun. We’re still committed to raising awareness on those important issues, especially that number 22.

That’s why we’re inviting everyone to join us in an online event called the Day 22 Challenge. On June 22, you’re encouraged to get some healthy exercise at your own pace for 22 — that could be 22 laps in the pool, 22 minutes of walking or yoga, 22 sit-ups or push-ups, anything you like. You can share the victory pics

and videos from your own 22 on our VetZero Facebook page n June 22 to let the rest of us share in your glory. It’s a fun and simple way to recognize the mental health issues many of our veterans face every day. And who knows, it just might spark your own summer fitness routine!

And if you’re able, please consider donating $22 to our VetZero project so we can continue helping our local heroes.

You can donate when visiting our VetZero Facebook page. And as always, we’re partnered with Hudson River Housing, to make sure your donation goes directly to the folks who need it the most.

That same day, I will be trying to turn back the clock a full year by walking 22 miles in the Hudson Valley. I’ll be calling into the Boris & Robyn show on WPDH 101.5 FM that morning starting at 7:30 a.m. to provide updates from the road. It’s all for a great cause, and I hope you will join us on June 22 in the Day 22 Challenge!

Thanks for listening! See you next time!

Cary Institute to host virtual science conversation exploring just and equitable solutions On Thursday, June 18 at 7 p.m., join Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies via Zoom for ‘Extreme Heat, COVID, & Equity in New York City’ – a virtual science conversation exploring how legacies of inequity compound heat and COVIDrelated vulnerabilities among urban residents. Panelists will include experts from The New School, NASA, The Nature Conservancy, and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance. This event is free, but registration via Eventbrite is required.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is forecasting an unusually warm summer for much of the US. In New York City, this could exacerbate heat exposure in homes, where most heat-related mortality occurs, as well as potential brownouts or blackouts due to extreme weather. Heat vulnerability in New York City has been linked to socioeconomic indicators, including household income and resident age, as well as access to air conditioning and green spaces.

What will potential heatwaves, black-

outs, and brownouts mean for city residents already struggling with lack of air conditioning and limited access to green spaces? How will existing health, weather, and economic hazards be affected by new guidelines designed to reduce COVID-19 outbreaks in NYC? What are just and equitable solutions to address threats posed by extreme heat and other interdependent risks?

The conversation will feature panelists Emily Nobel Maxwell, Director of The Nature Conservancy’s Cities Program in

New York, Christian Braneon, a Remote Sensing Specialist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Annel Hernandez, Associate Director of the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance, and Timon McPhearson, Director of the Urban Systems Lab (The New School) and a Cary Institute Senior Research Fellow.

There will be time for Q&A. The event is free and open to all. Registration is required.

National Medical Reserve Corps bestows Mentor Award on County’s Joe Ryan As the current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the nation like never before, communities like Dutchess County have mobilized their plans to safeguard the health and safety of their residents. The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) of Dutchess County, for example, has stepped up to complement the County’s strategies; and Joe Ryan, the organization’s leader, has received national recognition for the MRC’s work to keep residents safe.

Coordinator of the MRC of Dutchess County with 22 years of service to Dutchess County in various positions, Mr. Ryan has received the Mentor Award from the national Medical Reserve Corps, sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The MRC Program Recognition Awards, including the Mentor Award, were presented during a special MRC Well Check Webinar on Tuesday, June 2.

The MRC of Dutchess County is part of a national network of volunteers dedicated to supporting public health infrastructure and disaster preparedness and response in their local communities. The MRC of Dutchess County consists of more than 700 members, comprised of both healthcare and nonhealthcare professionals, and the organization supports both the County’s departments of Behavioral & Community Health (DBCH) and Emergency Response.

County Executive Marc Molinaro said, “Joe Ryan’s dedication to Dutchess County and the safety of its residents is unparalleled, and the Mentor Award is national recognition for the work Joe performs on behalf of County residents each day. The Medical Reserve Corps of Dutchess County performs vital work to support Dutchess County Government and its mission to safeguard the well-being of each of our residents.

Particularly during these unprecedented times, MRC members have stepped up in numerous ways to assist the County as ‘Dutchess Responds’ to the COVIC-19 pandemic, and Joe Ryan has been critical in

leading the organization.�

The Mentor Award honors MRC leaders who have successfully collaborated with other members of the MRC network over the past year to share practices, participate in activities, and carry out initiatives that have strengthened individual and collective groups of MRC units.

Among Ryan’s accomplishments, he started a five-county MRC leaders’ work group in 2017, which meet to discuss best practices, challenges and approaches to solve those challenges. The MRC Region II liaison and the New York State Volunteer Coordinator have been included in meetings to provide a regional perspective and potential resources to support MRC unit administration, recruitment, retention and deployment activities. To date, the work group has created pathways for information sharing, such as newsletters and training announcements; collaborated on funding opportunities; shared MRC unit policies and combined efforts for volunteer engagement.

In 2019, MRC of Dutchess County members recorded 4,200 volunteer hours, which was a record at the time. As of the end of May 2020, MRC volunteers had logged more than 4,500 hours, setting a record for training, volunteer hours and recruitment.

Ryan said, “I thank the MRC for this honor, and I appreciate the national organization recognizing the valuable role our volunteer members play in keeping Dutchess County residents safe. I appreciate County Executive Molinaro and the leadership in our departments of Behavioral & Community Health and Emergency Response for supporting the MRC of Dutchess County and its critical mission. Our dedicated volunteers are ready at a moment’s notice, always willing to give their time, talents and resources to serve their county.

Proving the willingness of MRC members to serve Dutchess County in time of need, more than 200 volunteers have joined since March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The time and effort these members – both with and without formal medical

training – have contributed have helped keep Dutchess County residents healthy and safe.

The MRC of Dutchess County is active in multiple COVID-19 endeavors, including: • Staffing more than 250 shifts at Dutchess County’s Coronavirus Call Center totaling more than 1,000 hours; • Delivering groceries and/or medication orders to those in isolation as part of the Dutchess Responds relief effort; • Assisting in monitoring and testing hundreds of individuals exposed to COVID-19; • Volunteering to train and staff Dutchess County’s Recovery Center at Dutchess Community College; • Volunteering and training to become contact tracers, helping Dutchess County

and the Hudson Valley region reach Phase 1 of the re-opening process as quickly as possible; • Training to assist in the Medical Examiner’s Office; • Making medical rounds at the County’s homeless shelter to homeless in isolation; • Assembling more than 10,000 pairs of goggles, face shields and Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) kits; and • Assisting with a number of other logistical operations and in the Emergency Operation Center.

Prior to assuming the position of MRC Coordinator in May 2016, Ryan worked for the Dutchess County Office for the Aging for 18 years.

What’s in your Air?

Mold/indoor air quality testing are essential all year The warm summer months are here.

Everyone is getting out and enjoying their backyards and working on home improvement projects. As you start working on those projects, don’t forget to check on MOLD and associated indoor air quality concerns!

The number one cause of any mold growth is water. Water management in, on and around your home or building is crucial. Unseen damage in the form of excess water or moisture is the root of most mold events.

“In so many cases, it’s the water you don’t see that causes the most problems,” says Michael Christophides, Chief Assessor and Laboratory Director at Granite Inspection Group.

Hidden leaks like those in water lines, drain lines, refrigerator water lines often become damaged or exceed their life expectancy and develop small leaks that allow for microbial growth to occur inside wall and ceiling cavities. The only way to detect if you have a water-related problems is with Mold/Indoor Air Quality testing.

Granite Inspection Group is a locally owned and operated licensed and professional Indoor Air Quality and Environmental testing company.

Michael Christophides is a New York State Licensed Mold Assessor, who performs residential and commercial mold assessments, building diagnostics, environmental/mold testing services and forensic inspections. The services are designed for all occupants, whether it is your current home, one you are considering buying or selling or a public commercial building like schools, daycares and office space.

When it comes to indoor air quality, particularly mold (visible and non-visible) it’s all about water, whether in a liquid form, in a solid form as in snow and ice, particularly ice damming on roofs and walls. And let’s not forget last, but not least, in a gas form as in vapor intrusion, humidity - water is the problem.

Water Penetration The bulk of water penetration comes from surface run off and drainage. To protect your home, you can easily improve, minimize and prevent water penetration and intrusion by taking some simple steps.

• Make sure you have gutters and liters on your home.

• If you do have gutters, make sure they are clean and free of any debris.

• Make sure all liters and discharge pipes are extended at least 4-6 feet away from the perimeter of the structure.

• Make sure the grading around the perimeter of the structure is properly pitched in a positive manner to ensure water will drain away from the building.

If all of the above are in place, you will dramatically reduce the chance of water penetration or intrusion and protect your home from microbial growth.

The presence of mold or conducive conditions for mold growth should always lead to an assessment, investigation, cleaning and/or removal by a

qualified professional.

One of the best ways to identify if you could have a growing mold concern is when you have that “damp, musty odor present in your home.”

Technically, there is no such thing as a damp, musty odor. What we smell is the byproduct of Microbial growth, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) or Toxins called Mycotoxins. This happens when a living organism digests organic material and through their digestion and metabolism, produce gases and odors.

Michael provides a checklist of warning signs that indicate moisture and mold problems in homes and commercial buildings.

• The humidity in the structure is higher than normal.

• You have damp, musty odors in the house, basement or a room / area.

• You see discoloration on walls and ceilings. Similar signs include warpContinued on page 4

Page 4C—SOUTHERN DUTCHESS NEWS—June 17, 2020

Air Quality testing Continued from page 3 ing, bubbling and sagging in walls and ceilings.

• Clogged gutters and ice damming on the roof can cause water to leak into adjoining walls and ceilings.

• You have a dehumidifier and/or it is running non-stop.

• You see leaks in walls and ceilings.

The heavy rains may have made these leaks evident, but they have been there for a long time. Once water finds a way into a structure, the problem just continues to grow and get worse.

• If you had water intrusion, no matter how much, whether it was six inches of water or small puddling and seepage along the wall - you cleaned what water was readily accessible and visible, but not what was inside the wall cavity or on building materials that were not accessible.

Michael warns that mold can begin to grow in as little as 24 hours. “If you see the indications of moisture problems, you must deal with them quickly,” he said. “Letting it dry and hoping it will go away is not a solution. It is simply magnifying the problem.”

Test Before You Invest He notes that testing is always recommended prior to any remediation work. Whether homeowners decide to tackle this themselves or hire a professional remediation company, “The testing will dictate and prescribe the appropriate course of action,” said Michael. There are testing protocols and guidelines to ensure proper testing

and verification of potential health concerns or hazards.

And don’t rely on simply seeing mold. “It must be tested to indicate the extent of the problem,” he said.

Seeing mold just confirms that it has been there for some time and it needs to be tested to understand the depth and breadth of concern. It’s what we can’t see that we need to be sensitive to and proactive in testing,” said Michael.

Testing Methods There are numerous ways testing can be performed. Testing should only be done after your building and/or home has been properly evaluated by a licensed Mold Assessor. The Assessor will determine and design a testing protocol based from the on-site assessment, building diagnostics and data collected at that time, i.e. moisture reading, thermal imaging, humidity etc. Based on the evaluation, a sampling plan will be determined.

Sampling methods can vary from air grab collection, swabs, tape lift and direct samples to name a few.

There are over 100,000 identified mold species and many experts believe the number to be as high as 10 times more that are not identified at this time, due to the complexity of these organisms.

Not all mold is bad. In fact, we eat, drink and digest quite a few species in our everyday lives when we consume cheese, wine and beer to name a few.

Thermal imaging confirms a source of water penetration.

In addition, many species are used for medical purposes, such as antibiotics with Penicillin being a great example.

Like everything else in life, it is all about moderation. If you are eating digesting or breathing an elevated

amount of mold, there could be health concerns and side effects to you and your family. Symptoms are not universal and may vary on a case by case or individual level.

Mold Exposure and Health Symptoms There are many symptoms from mold exposure. The most common are allergy or cold like reactions, which are typically respiratory, such as wheezing and common difficulty breathing and Asthma like symptoms.

Other symptoms may include burning/dry eyes, watery eyes, reddened eyes, blurred vision, sore throat, nasal and sinus congestion, cough, shortness of breath, skin irrigation and difficulty sleeping. If you are having any of these symptoms and the symptoms are reduced or completely gone when you leave your home or building, chances are you have been exposed to some sort of elevated levels of mold, allergens or possible toxins.

Backyard Living: Perfecting your next ribeye steak (StatePoint) When it comes to grilling your next ribeye steak, take a cue from world class chefs who are all turning up the heat.

“All my chef buddies are cooking on high, intense heat, getting their cast-irons blistering and getting their grills ripping hot to keep everything from sticking and to get that super fast char,” says former “Iron Chef Showdown” winner, David Bancroft.

“The chef’s secret is to really push that boundary on temperature and finding confidence there.”

As host of the new Exmark Original series “Prime Cuts,” Bancroft spends a lot of time talking to some of the world’s best grill chefs. In a recent episode, he teamed up with the 2017 James Beard Award winner, Best Chef Midwest, Chef Kevin Nashan to show viewers how to prepare the perfect ribeye steak.

Nashan shared his secrets for ribeye success: He likes to use the heart of the ribeye over a really hot grill, adding a little oil “as an insurance policy,” for a little sear, and then finishing it off in the oven.

He accompanies his cut with a little grilled Napa cabbage, pickled mustard seeds, mustard jus made from the trim of the meat, tater tots and sauce

gribiche.

“No one thinks to grill cabbage, but cabbage can stand up to the heat of the grill, plus it has a little horseradish nature to it, and of course ribeye and horseradish go hand-in-hand,” says Nashan.

To watch the complete “Prime Cuts” episode, plus bonus content, complete recipes, cooking prep tips and more, visit Exmark.com/Backyard. As part of a unique multimedia destination called Backyard Life, which has a focus on giving home and acreage owners tips and know-how to make the most of their outdoor experience and live more life outdoors, you can also access content on lawn-and-garden, outdoor cooking and living and rural lifestyles.

As you heat up the grill, stoke the fire and throw on a prime cut, Bancroft encourages you to do so with confidence.

“The common trend here with all the chefs cooking in the backyard is getting confident with your cooking vessels,” says Bancroft. “Know what your temperatures are, know your hot spots, know your cold spots and get confident.”

How to apply for a home equity loan

By Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union One of the first steps when preparing for a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit (HELOC) is to determine which is the best option for you. Once you have made that decision, there are four steps you can take to help you be as prepared as possible for your Home Equity application.

• Check your credit. Your credit score will be a major determining factor in whether you are approved for your Home Equity Loan or HELOC, as well as what interest rate you will receive. It’s important to have a solid understanding of not only what your credit score is, but what your credit report contains. Use a website such as annualcreditreport.com to pull your score. Doing so will not impact your credit and will allow you to see your report from each of the three major credit agencies. This is important because there may be misinformation on one report that isn’t contained on another.

• Pay down debt. Not only will paying down outstanding debt improve your credit score, it will also improve your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). DTI measures how much debt you currently have relative to your income. A DTI that is too high suggests you may be spread too financially thin to be able to make the payments on your Home Equity. Even if you have a good credit score, a high DTI can cause some lenders to deny your application.

• Estimate your equity. Before applying, you should have some idea of how much equity you have in your home. Equity is, essentially, the current value of your home minus what you still owe on your mortgage. You should have a pretty solid sense of what you still owe on your mortgage; if not, you can pull your statements to come up with an amount. Then, estimate the current value of your home using a site like Zillow.com. Keep in

mind that many financial institutions will require a professional estimate, but getting a general idea of your home’s worth will help you understand how much you may qualify for.

• The final step in preparing to apply for your Home Equity Loan or HELOC is gathering the documentation you may be required to present with your application. Typically, lenders will want to see some or all of the following:

• Paystubs • W2s • Homeowner Insurance binder • Tax returns Applying for a Home Equity Loan or HELOC can feel a bit intimidating.

Working with your lender to answer any questions upfront and following the steps outlined here will help the process feel as seamless as possible!

DS Electric installs quality generators at affordable prices Hey Hudson Valley, want to know how to keep your lights on even when the power is out? We are an essential service and our expert technicians can deliver and install a standby generator with no personal contact. We carefully follow guidelines for safe working conditions for our staff and our customers.

This time of isolation and social distancing is difficult enough. Don’t be left in the dark when the power goes out. DS Electric has all sizes of Generac automatic standby generators in stock.

Generac is currently offering zero down 0% financing for 18 months to qualified buyers.

DS Electric recommends the right model of quality generators from Generac for your home or business.

Generators are much more affordable than you may think, and DS Electric will customize a generator to suit your needs.

As Poughkeepsie, Dutchess, Ulster and Orange County grow, so does the demand for power. The ability of utility companies to provide all of their customers with power in these areas becomes more difficult. The result?

Possible brown-outs or black outs!

Don’t be left in the dark!

According to a recent study of 2000 U.S. adults by Harris Poll, 35% of adults in the Northeast have experienced a power outage of 12 hours or more in the last two years.

69% of those households who experienced 12 hour or more power out-

ages incurred a substantial cost as a result of the outage.

The only way to prevent these potential losses is to install a standby generator. There has never been a more intelligent time to install a generator than now!

Don’t let a costly power outage make this time of uncertainty worse.

If you live in their service area, and you already own a generator, but you’re not sure how to hook it up, contact DS Electric and they will make sure it’s installed correctly to maximize its’ efficiency.

Testimonials Here are testimonials from satisfied customers.

“Dave Stewart has my business for the rest of my life. I would recommend him to anyone… Have been using his services for a year now and it has been 100% every time. I have nothing but praise for him.”

Sal F. - Staatsburg “Dave was a pleasure and was very eager to please. I will use DS Electric in the future for any electrical needs that I may have. I would recommend DS Electric to anyone looking for an electrician.”

Pete B – Poughkeepsie “The electrician listened and understood the work to be done. The job was taken care of on the day it was scheduled for. The technician was professional and cleaned up. Dave followed up with the work done. You made me feel important as a customer, thank you!”

Generac generators from DS Electric will give you the assurance of power in your home or business during any type of power outage. Courtesy photo

Joanne Brown, Lagrangeville, Ace Real Estate DS Electric mission The goal at DS Electric is to create trusted, on-going relationships with you, our clients, here in the Hudson Valley.

To that end, when you call to arrange for a quote or an appointment, you’ll get a friendly reply in a timely fashion. And when the job is done, you will receive a call to make sure you are happy with the electrical services performed.

Owner Dave Stewart wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dave began his formal electrical services training in the United States Marine Corps as a “Basic Marine Electrician.” Upon leaving the Marines, he completed his 5-year NY State Apprenticeship with a wellestablished Mid-Hudson Valley com-

mercial electrical company. He completed the last year of the program with an electrical company whose focus was on residential services.

DS Electric is fully licensed and insured and provides reliable, efficient and professional electrical services in all areas of Dutchess County and Ulster Counties. They provide both residential and commercial services.

In addition, DS Electric is always looking to hire the best residential electricians who are looking for a quality company.

4 hot home renovation trends this summer (StatePoint) Whether building a home from scratch, doing a complete renovation or simply refreshing a room or two, you can take your project to the next level with some design inspiration.

As one half of HGTV’s “The Cousins” and the founder of Lilyshea Development LLC, John Colaneri is well-versed in top design trends.

Having recently purchased a 1960sera rambler with the goal of taking it down to the studs and remaking it, Colaneri is sharing insights and ideas to help you create a unique space in your own home where all the elements blend together: • Color pop. Find a color to carry throughout the entire home. While many people typically look to paint doors and trim white, consider being creative here.

“For my home, which has an open concept floor plan, I knew that I wanted to use a dark color for trim and doors in order to enhance other design elements, such as my kitchen island and hood,” says Colaneri.

• Something old, something new.

Achieving a blend of old and new can bring warmth and texture to otherwise ascetic spaces and design elements.

“I love contemporary design, but my true passion is blending old and new together. For the main entry and hallway, I installed reclaimed natural wood to add warmth and character to the space,” says Colaneri. “Likewise, I

selected industrial-style light fixtures that boast traditional touches.”

• Let it shine. Blurring that line between the indoors and outside can make a space feel larger and more inviting. To do this, Colaneri suggests replacing old windows with those that bring in more natural light.

“I chose black trim to give my windows a contemporary look and allow them to be a focal point, but I went with a farmhouse-style grille for a traditional feel,” he says. “I also changed the rear windows into sliding doors, which made a huge difference by offering more outdoor access and light.”

• Customized Tiling. Tiles are a great way to customize a space so that it’s truly yours.

“Since I have three different design styles pervasive in my home — contemporary, rustic and industrial, I wanted the tiles to reflect this,” says Colaneri, who chose different effects for his daughter’s bathroom, the master bathroom and his home’s entryway, where he used a hexagon marble tile that blends into the wood floor.

To learn more about Colaneri’s project and read about more ways to freshen up your space, visit getinspiredwithjohn.com.

When it comes to a renovation, it’s all about potential. With a little vision, you can transform your home into something that you never thought possible.

Endless options, easy maintenance – composite decking has it all A backyard deck has become a staple of homes all over America.

No matter what size or how elaborate it is, a home’s deck has long been one of the best gathering spots for friends and families. Now more than ever, the open-air and flexible layout of a deck is why it is the perfect place to be together without being crowded together.

There are many important factors to consider when building or remodeling a deck, but the deck surface is probably the most important decision once you figure out the size and shape of the deck. Wood decking is still common, but composite decking has exploded in popularity and it offers an ever-growing array of features and benefits.

While composite decking is more expensive than basic treated lumber, the advantages it affords cannot be ignored.

regular cleaning and preserving to keep it looking good and free from decay, which can add up over time.

Composite decking is more durable and keeping it looking good is very cost effective. There are cleaners designed specifically for composite decking, but often it can be simply rinsed off.

Another important feature of composite decking that is very appealing is that it is environmentally responsible. Trex, for example, is made from 95 percent recycled material, includ-

ing reclaimed wood and recycled plastic film like grocery bags. An average 500-square foot Trex deck contains 140,000 plastic bags!

Additionally, over 90 percent of the resources Trex uses come from U.S. suppliers. Trex has a carbon footprint that is more than 50 percent lower than treated lumber.

One of the fastest growing trends in decking is using multiple colors and patterns in the deck design. While decks have traditionally been one color, thanks to composite decking, people are creating unique patterns and color schemes by mixing and matching from the assortment of colors and textured boards available.

Composite decking gives you options that would be labor intensive and time consuming with wood decking.

If you are thinking about building or updating a deck, composite decking like Trex is a great option to consider.

The upfront material costs may be higher than wood decking, but the easy maintenance and endless options make composite decking a choice you won’t regret!

To examine the wide variety of composite decking choices and features, visit one of the eight the Williams Lumber & Home Center locations near you or visit williamslumber.com.

One of the fastest growing trends in decking is using multiple colors and patterns in the deck design. While decks have traditionally been one color, thanks to composite decking, people are creating unique patterns and color schemes by mixing and matching from the assortment of colors and textured boards available.

Made from pressed wood (wood chips, sawdust, or wood fiber) and plastic, composite decking offers a wide selection of colors, textures and fastening options. Also, composite decking is low maintenance when compared to traditional wood decking. Many manufacturers such as Trex now offer styles at different price points to make composite decking more affordable than ever.

Composite decking is easy to work with and the quality is more consistent than wood. You can save a lot of time without having to sort out bowed or badly knotted boards.

There are many special screws and concealed fasteners available to give your deck a clean finished look.

Maintenance is much easier than wood decking.

Not only will the plants you grow help to reduce carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere, but you’ll also be creating a healthy habitat for birds, insects and other small critters. Plus, if you plant vegetables, you can reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of food you need to purchase that was shipped long distances.

Your home theater is likely more important to you these days then ever before, making it a good place to start when making eco-friendly home upgrades. Consider a mercury-free projector with a hybrid laser and LED light source, which removes the need for hazardous bulbs.

With a long bulb life of 20,000 hours,

selecting a Casio’s LampFree projector is one upgrade with a lasting impact.

You don’t need to spend a lot of time or money to substantially improve your home’s energy efficiency. Take an afternoon to swap out the incandescent bulbs in all your light fixtures and replace them with LEDs or another energy-efficient alternative.

Get outdoors and enjoy nature using wearable tech like the PRT-B50 Pro Trek Watch, which can help steer you through a solitary hike. With Quad Sensor technology, you will know the direction, weather, temperature and altitude at the touch of a button. In addition, an accelerometer keeps track of your steps and calories burned. The Bluetooth-enabled watch connects to an app that will also record your location into memory so you can find your way back.

Bannerman Island set to reopen this weekend

By Goldee Greene Arts & Entertainment It's time for mid-Hudson River fun starting this Saturday as Bannerman Island begins its 2020 season. "The public should know that Bannerman Castle Trust has developed a plan to safely open Bannerman Island and protocols will be in place to operate in a time of COVID 19," said Executive Director Neil Caplan. "All tours will have social-distance requirements, and all areas will be cleaned with approved Center for Disease Control/CDC cleaning supplies. Island historians and staff will be on hand for informal lectures and to assist visitors with questions and self-guided tours.

Monitored refreshment and gift stands will also be open for visitors.

It is described as "One of the most exciting things to do along the Hudson River is to visit Bannerman Island, originally Pollepel Island, the small, mysterious island jewel set in the Hudson Highlands. The island is located just 60 miles north of New York City between Cold Spring and Beacon, New York. The rich history of Bannerman Castle and the beautiful scenery of the historic island and the surrounding mountains will provide an enriching and adventurous day for the whole family."

The island, located about a half-mile southwest of the City of Beacon, halfway from the City of Newburgh, is run by Bannerman Castle Trust (BCT) in collaboration with the office of New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, welcomes boaters, kayakers and canoe enthusiasts. Unfortunately,

professional musical theatre offerings will not take place this year. However, a production of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" previously scheduled for 2020, has been rescheduled for June 2021.

Winner of Dutchess Tourism's 2019 History Award of Distinction, the BCT is dedicated to the preservation of Bannerman Island as well as presenting tours and events on the historic island.

"Everyone is looking forward to another terrific season," said Caplan.

Currently, only smaller boat tours will be permitted on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m Private boats, kayaks and canoes navigating in shallow waters may contact www.bannermancastle.org. Dock water levels range from 1.5 feet to 3 feet deep, tide dependent. Special weekday visits for smaller boats can also be arranged by calling 845-831-6346.

"For those who do not own a boat, the BCT has partnered with Storm King Adventure Tours which will be running kayak tours to Bannerman's Island all summer" it was noted. For more information on this, visit www.stormkingadventuretours.com. Tours on board the Estuary Steward, the BCT's larger tour boat, are slated to begin on July 2. This may change depending on the NYS mandate for re-opening larger vessels, so please check www.bannermancastle.org for updates. Reservation are required online at www.BannermanCastle.org or call 845203-1316 to reserve.

At this time, no boats are permitted to carry more than ten people when visiting Bannerman Island. Tickets are $30 per person and include one and a half hours

City of Poughkeepsie unveils new gradual reopening video, logo The City of Poughkeepsie has created a video and new “PKGO Forward” logo to welcome the gradual reopening of the area as people get back to work, open their businesses and push for an economic recovery.

The logo features the City’s classic beehive icon and a forward arrow, building on the City’s PKGO marketing strategy.

“We are excited to move forward with reopening and believe it is essential to our community,” said City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison. “But we have to do it in a responsible way that places health and safety as the priorities.”

The economic impacts of the coronavirus have been profound. Everything from eateries to entertainment venues have sustained substantial financial setbacks, and city officials want to ensure people have the best information available as the phased-in reopening continues.

On Monday, June 9, the City of Poughkeepsie launched the PKGO Forward Economic Recovery Plan, allowing restaurants and retail businesses to expand outdoor

seating and displays in response to social distancing requirements enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative, which involves no fees, is designed to assist business owners of restaurants and retail stores in compensating for social distancing restrictions that may limit the number of persons in their establishments at any one time.

As part of the Mid-Hudson Region, the City of Poughkeepsie began reopening on May 26. Industries permitted within Phase 1 included construction, agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, retail (limited to curbside or in-store pickup or drop off), manufacturing and wholesale trade.

Phase 2 started June 9 and includes outdoor dining, professional services, finance and insurance, retail, administrative support and real estate/rental leasing.

Phase 3 aims to get indoor dining at restaurants, food services and hotels back in service. And Phase 4 will focus on the arts, entertainment, recreation and education.

This ramp-up is expected in two-week intervals, although Gov. Andrew Cuomo has

said that could be expedited or delayed depending on healthrelated metrics.

New York’s policies also state that people must stay at least 6 feet apart from one another in public and should wear masks when in close proximity to each other.

The governor has released a guide to the state’s “NY Forward Reopening” Plan.

Working in consultation with Dutchess County, the City has focused on three key

aspects of reopening: Local government functions and support, economic development and recreation.

“These are admittedly unchartered territories,” said Rolison. We want to help people and businesses navigate the days ahead. We know city residents and businesses are resilient and are up to these challenges. We greatly look forward to the days ahead.

There will be plenty of hard work, but there will be causes for celebration as well.”

Poughkeepsie Library District moves to Phase 2 of reopening plan The Poughkeepsie Public Library District reopened its doors to the public on Wednesday, June 10. In this phase of limited service, the public will be able to browse the collection and borrow materials but the number of people in the buildings will be restricted to 50% of capacity. Sneeze guards will be in place at the service desks and everyone who enters the library will be required to wear a face covering. Patrons will be discouraged from remaining in the library and most seating will be removed.

Access to the public computers will not be available until Monday, June 15

and there will be a very limited and tentative schedule of public programs for at least the next month.

“Inevitably, there’s a tension between access and safety,” said director Tom Lawrence. “We want to cater to our patrons who desperately want to use our services but of course, we have to make sure we’re protecting everyone’s health. We hope our patrons will understand this dilemma and will be patient as we gradually return to our normal service.” For more information, visit the Library District’s website at www.poklib.org.

Re-opening at Adriance: John Hitchcock, Poughkeepsie, receives computer assistance from PPLD Reference Librarian Deb Weltsch.

East Fishkill n o i t a e r c Re

By Bill Green Some great news! Our playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis and pickle ball courts and our volleyball courts are now open. Social distancing rules are requested when you use these facilities. Ball fields may also be used by groups of 10 or less. Please call Lime Kiln for updated information on field usage.

We still have no set date for Red Wing Park to open this summer. Work on the bathrooms is moving along but we are still waiting for the EPA to complete the water lines to the building. We are hoping for a July 1 limited opening and this summer the lake will be for East Fishkill residents only. Fishing nights will not begin until the lake opens.

We are hoping to have our Fishing Camp in August (August 10-14) and our Fishing Derby on Saturday, August 15. At this time there will be NO concerts this summer at Red Wing Park.

For updated information give us a call (845-226-8395) or check or website-

www.eastfishkillrecreation.gov.

We also plan to hold our annual Independence Day program on Friday, July 3 with an Oldies Concert at 7p.m. featuring Adam and the Newhearts. Adam is returning to Hopewell for the 32nd straight summer to rock East Fishkill with Elvis, Dion, the Beatles and much more.

At 9:15 our super LEGION FIREWORKS will follow. For those people interested in viewing the fireworks and maintaining a safe distance, we are recommending you park in any of the surrounding parking areas. Only a limited number of vehicles will be allowed in the park area for the concert.

The rain date is Sunday, July 5 (concert & fireworks).

The Dutchess County office of the Aging Nutrition Program will continue to provide meals for those in their program.

CAMO seeks volunteers 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 follows 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.

Tarpon Towers public hearing June 23 The Town of Wappinger Zoning Board of Appeals will conduct a public hearing on June 23 at 7 p.m. pursuant to Sections24037and 240-81G(4)(c)(2)of the Zoning Law of the Town of Wappinger to consider the following area variance for Tarpon Towers II, LLC Wireless Telecommunications Facility on Caroline Dr. East.

Dutchess BOCES Capital Project moves ahead despite pandemic Aside from a few changes to process, the COVID-19 pandemic has not slowed the Dutchess BOCES capital project, which will bring all K-12 programs to the Salt Point Turnpike campus.

The Board of Trustees recently awarded contracts to six companies for the scope of the work. ?

Worth Associates, general construction: $17,654,332 ?

S&O Construction Services, plumbing: $1,213,412 ?

C.B. Strain & Son, Inc., HVAC: $5,335,000 ?

Upstate Electric, electrical: $2,683,340 ?

Casa Builders Inc. (Friedlander Construction), sitework: $4,102,980 ?

United Safety LLC, hazardous materials abatement: $497,600

A pre-construction meeting was held Wednesday, May 20, with all the contractors to go over the game plan, review safety requirements, and ensure all have performance bonds and the appropriate insurance. Another meeting is scheduled this week and a start date for the work may come out of it, School Business Official Matt Metzger said.

The $36.8 million project will create a new building for the alternative high school, currently housed in rented space on Dutchess Turnpike, and provide renovations at the Career and Technical Institute and Salt Point Center. For the second round of bids, the board eliminated renovating the facilities department and turning the space it occupies at SPC into classrooms and also dropped the preferred labor agreement.

“By doing that, it allowed us to get done a lot of things we wanted to get done and provided about $1 million for contingencies,” Metzger said.

About 21 contractors from various trades did a pre-bid walk-through of the site in mid-April in preparation for submitting bids, Metzger said. During that tour, the group adhered to social distancing practices and nearly everyone wore masks.

By the April 29 deadline, a total of 34 contractors had submitted bids which were then read live on the Dutchess BOCES website.

“It came in 15 percent lower than the first round of bids and as Matt said you got everything you told voters you would deliver,” Russell Davidson of KG&D Architects told the board during its May

13 meeting when the request for proposals were awarded.

Interviewed later, Davidson said a number of factors contributed to the drop, including a simplified design and the pandemic itself. “Because of the economic conditions related to the pandemic we saw a very high level of competition.”

The fact that schools are closed could expedite the project.

“Without employees and students there, we can hopefully get a lot done without all the impediments we would have had if we were in session,” Metzger said, adding that it should help keep the project at least on track if not, perhaps, a bit ahead of schedule.

Occupancy of the new building is slated for September 2021.

East Fishkill, Fishkill, and Wappinger Working Together for you!

Dear Residents of our three great communities, Your three Supervisors would like to share with you some exciting collaboration that we have been doing. Not only have we been working together (as well as our respective Boards and consultants) to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on our communities, but also we have been working on a number of mutual aid programs to enhance services while reducing financial impact on you. Following are some key items: During the last several years we have been working on shared services for water and sewer infrastructure and operations; - Working on joint grant opportunities; Some common sharing of equipment and services to avoid some large capital expenses; - Collaborated and developed re-opening procedures for our Towns and Dutchess County Government; - Town Hall and other Town facilities open to public by appointment during weeks of 6/15 and 6/22 per our respective websites; - Our 3 municipalities worked with the business community and pressured County and State Governments to allow restaurants to have outdoor dining to re-open in Phase 2.

- Continued to assist our Senior community during COVID-19 crisis and developed phone programs for staff to have regular communication with seniors who are home bound; - Re-opening recreation/playgrounds to public with NYS guidelines in place; Keeping parks and trails open; - Worked with our construction community hand in hand to assist them with essential and non-essential work being performed. Developed procedures so when Phase 1 started we were ready to accommodate ALL construction; - Preparing now for Phase 3 and 4; - Worked hand in hand with Dutchess County Executive and Dutchess County Mayors and Supervisors Association; - Implemented conservative spending and hiring practices; Weekly budgeting review to see where we can save $$ because of loss of revenue expectations - Working to obtain fullest possible revenue such as sales tax, highway funding, AIM funding, delinquent taxes and much more.
