Fatal accident leaves
Amenia resident dead
By JUDITH O’HARA BALFE
judithb@millertonnews.com
WASHINGTON — There are no
flowers, candles or crosses at the side
of the town of Washington roadway
to mark the fatal accident that took
place on Wednesday, Jan. 8. Twenty
year old Amenia resident Jeremy L.
Annis was pronounced dead at the
scene by the Dutchess County Medi-
cal Examiner’s Office. Annis was the
passenger in a Toyota sedan driven
by his uncle, 28 year old James M.
Ruiz, also of Amenia. Ruiz was criti-
cally injured in the accident and was
airlifted to Westchester Medical
Center in Valhalla by Life Net Air 2.
Troopers responded to the scene
at roughly 11:20 p.m. Wednesday
night. The call reported a car had run
off the roadway, hit a tree and burst
into flames. The road was closed un-
til about 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, Jan.
9.
The accident took place on the
Shunpike, or State Road 57, in the
relatively straight stretch of road be-
tween Kennels Road and Route 44.
The Shunpike is rural, with farms,

WINGDALE — Dover Greens, the
company behind the conversion of
the former Harlem Valley Psychiat-
ric Center into the now operational
Olivet University, has agreed to pay a
$575,000 penalty to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for “violating asbestos safety
rules,” as stated by the Manhattan
U.S. Attorney’s office.
In a Jan. 7 press release, U.S. At-
torney for the Southern District of
New York Geoffrey S. Berman, and
Regional Administrator for the EPA
Peter Lopez, announced that “the
United States has filed a civil lawsuit
against Dover Greens, LLC, for viola-
tions of the Clean Air Act [CAA] and
EPA’s National Emissions Standards
for Asbestos [Asbestos NESHAP]
during renovation of the former
Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center in
Wingdale, N.Y.”

Celebrating
Milestones American Legion Post 178 proposes
in Business amendment to town’s new sign law
By KAITLIN LYLE
kaitlinl@millertonnews.com
Black Rain Computer Services, LLC NORTH EAST — After de-
fending its decision to install a
Since 2014 light-emitting diode (LED) sign
at its Route 44 Post home last
Local onsite tech support October, the Millerton Ameri-
for desktop, mobile and server can Legion Post 178 approached
the North East Town Board on
845-366-8743 Thursday, Jan. 9, with a proposal
www.blackraincomputers.com to include a section on LED com-
Microsoft and CompTia certified munity message boards in the
town’s new sign law. Currently,
such signs are not permitted in
the Boulevard District, which is
where Post 178 is located. The
Legion installed the illegal sign
last year without a permit, and
SINCE 2016 has since been asking the town to
consider revising its law to make
the sign legal.
SUNDAY – THURSDAY 11AM – 9PM Led by Post Historian Sean
FRIDAY & SATURDAY 11AM – 10PM Klay, there were six Legionnaires
present at the meeting. Stepping
518.592.1900 to the front of the room, Klay
thanked the board for the chance
53 MAIN STREET MILLERTON NEW YORK 12546 to “come and address you on what
seems to be a very popular subject
matter.” As Klay passed around
copies of the proposal to each
board member to review, Post
members propped an enlarged
version of the proposal and sup-
e Canaan
Lakevill
porting research on display for
the public to follow along.
Klay said based on extensive
research, the Post determined
the majority of cities, towns and
villages in Dutchess County cur-
rently allow the same type of
sign it has at its headquarters. He
also noted that the majority of
Dutchess County municipalities
are involved with the Greenway
Compact program. According to
www.dutchessny.gov, the Gre-
enway Compact program is “a
voluntary community planning
approach” that promotes inter-
municipal cooperation through
five complementary goals, includ-
ing economic development and
regional planning.
Klay said there are no “explicit
restrictions or bans placed on
any municipality to prohibit any
style of sign within New York
State, Dutchess County or any
municipality or jurisdiction that
is a signatory to the Greenway
Compact.” Klay also said there’s
some flexibility in the town’s sign
ordinances. For example, he said
as a town policy, the town will
amend current land use laws and
regulations or enact new ones
where they’re considered ap-
propriate. Noting the inclusion
of the phrase “where appropri-
ate” in the policy, Klay said the
Post strongly believes that the
inclusion of its proposal would
be deemed “very appropriate and
will ultimately prove beneficial
to the town.”
The Post is proposing that the
town include a section on LED
community message boards, or
“permanent ground-mounted
signs for use only by not-for-
profit organizations, schools,
religious institutions or gov-
ernment agencies,” in its new
sign law. In outlining the re-
quirements for having an LED
display, Klay said the manner of
the electronic message display
would include no more than four
electronic messages (excluding
time and temperature informa-
tion) during a single 24-hour day
and that the minimum duration
for each message will be no less
than 15 seconds. The size of the
sign shouldn’t exceed 36 square
feet (which includes the structure
the sign is mounted on) with a
maximum height of 20 feet, in-
cluding the structure.
Klay recommended that all
ground-mounted signs be at a
minimum 5-foot setback from
the street right-of-way, and that
the signs don’t exceed a maxi-
mum illumination of 5,000 nits
(referring to candelas per square
meter) during daylight hours and
between dusk to dawn.
“It’s clear that this represents
an enormous amount of work on
your part and research,” North
East town Supervisor Chris Ken-
nan said, “and it is definitely a lot
for us to digest.”
“Basically, it’s up to the town
to decide whether it wants us
to conform or not,” Klay said.
“There’s a lot of inherent flexibil-
ity… I think what we’re propos-
ing would be a healthy balance
and compromise.”
When asked by a community
member whether the public
could get a copy of the presen-
tation, Klay replied he would
make the presentation available
on the Post’s website at www.
legionpost178.org, as well as on
its Facebook page.
Commending the Post’s “im-
pressive and thoughtful presen-
tation,” Millerton resident Tom
Parrett asked the board what
would happen next. Kennan
replied that scheduling a pub-
lic hearing on the new sign law
would be the next step.

NORTH EAST — Determined
to fill the vacant councilman seat
that was the result of town Super-
visor Chris Kennan’s November
election as quickly as possible,
the North East Town Board ap-
pointed former town Supervisor
George Kaye — who opted not to
run for reelection in 2019 — to
fill the vacancy. The appointment
was made at the board’s monthly
meeting on Thursday, Jan. 9. Kaye
will serve on the board until the
end of 2020.
After announcing the vacan-
cy on the town website, Kennan
reported that a number of indi-
viduals expressed an interest in
serving. After meeting with those
candidates, he said the town’s Per-
sonnel Committee nominated
Kaye for the position.
“It’s a unique opportunity to
take advantage of George’s expe-
rience,” Kennan said. “I’m grateful
for George’s willingness to serve.
I’m also grateful for other people’s
willingness to serve.”
As the first to make a mo-
tion to elect Kaye to the board,
Councilman Ralph Fedele said,
“I’m honored to nominate George
Kaye for the vacant seat on the
board. George is an amazing guy
and I’ve had the honor and privi-
lege of working with George.”
The motion to appoint Kaye
was seconded by Councilwom-

an Lana Morrison before it was
unanimously approved by the
rest of the board. After taking the
Oath of Office, Kaye joined his
colleagues at the board table for
his first meeting of the new year.
“I certainly appreciate the op-
portunity to once again be able to
serve the community and I hope
my past experience will serve me
well in my new capacity,” Kaye
said about the appointment.
MILLERTON — In what
turned out to be a short meet-
ing, the Village Board took
care of village business and
evaluated two grants on Mon-
day, Jan. 6.
Gathering in the North-
East-Millerton Library An-
nex at 7 p.m., the board dealt
with monthly vouchers and
talked about a few upcoming
community projects it plans
to discuss more in detail at
the meeting on Tuesday, Jan.
21. The trustees also talked
about the requirements for
the Water Infrastructure Im-
provement Act (WIIA) grant
the village received from the
New York State Department
of Health.
With a total project cost es-
timated at $1,126,000, Trustee
Matthew Hartzog reported on
a later date that the $675,600
WIIA grant will be used to re-
paint the interior and exterior
of the village water tower and
to set up a temporary water
tank to hold the water inside
the tower. The grant will also
be utilized to install shut off
valves on village fire hydrants

Additionally, the board dis-
cussed the $600,000 match-
ing state grant the Eddie
Collins Memorial Park Revi-
talization Committee received
from the New York State Of-
fice of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation for the
first round of renovations at
Eddie Collins Memorial Park.
Park Revitalization Com-
mittee member Jeanne
Vanecko reported on a later
date that this funding will
go toward constructing a
new parking lot, develop-
ing the soccer field, making
improvements to the Little
League area and completing
some infrastructure work in
anticipation of the next round
of renovations. She added that
some of the funding will go
toward repairing the park
playground, repairing and
replacing playground equip-
ment and installing two new
basketball courts in the park.
However, before moving for-
ward with the first round of
renovations, Vanecko said the
committee will need to raise
funds to match the grant.

Dorothy (Brown) Bundschuh OBITUARIES David Arthur Matthews

SALISBURY — Dorothy
(Brown) Bundschuh, 86,
of Rye, N.Y., and Mil-
lerton died Jan. 12, 2020,
at Noble Horizons in
Salisbury. She was the
loving wife of the late
John J. Bundschuh Jr.
Dorothy was born
March 1, 1933, in New
York, the daughter of
the late Lillian and Wal-
ter Brown. She gradu-
ated from the Ursuline School
in New Rochelle and then from
Trinity College.
Upon graduation, Dorothy be-
came engaged to John Bundschuh
and was married on Feb. 11, 1956.
They shipped off to Frankfurt
in the Army Reserves almost im-
mediately, an experience that both
reflected on as fun and formative
in their young marriage.
Dorothy was a model for Saks
Fifth Avenue after college and
fashion was a lifelong interest.
She enjoyed joining voices in
song and sang in many chapters
of the Sweet Adelines barbershop
chorus throughout her life, a
group that performed competi-
tively and once gave a concert in
Carnegie Hall.
Dorothy and John lived in
While John enjoyed gar-
dening, building and
woodworking, Dorothy
mostly enjoyed sitting
by the fire and taking a
break from raising six
children.
Millerton was a place
of peace and quiet,
where her children bus-
ied themselves with
board games, outdoor
activities and home-
spun theater productions with-
out a television in the house for
entertainment.
Though Dorothy was never a
country girl at heart, she came to
love seeing the deer that dashed
across the yard in the morning and
found many friends in the area in
her later years.
She played bridge in Sharon
and sang in the choir at St. Mary’s
Church in Lakeville.
Dorothy’s faith and family were
guiding lights throughout her life.
She is survived by three sons,
Jack, Geoffrey and Stephen; three
daughters, Carmen, Lauren and
Betsy; and eight grandchildren,
Jonathan, Kevin, Lis, Matt, John,
Grace, Augie and Jerome.
She was predeceased by a
brother, Richard.
Farley Frederick Churton
STANFORDVILLE — Farley
Frederick Churton, aka “Fud”
was born to Robert and
Susanna (Farley) Chur-
ton on May 6, 1952, at
Sharon Hospital. Farley
was the second born of
four sons.
He passed away on
Jan. 5, 2020, at 11:12 p.m.
at Northern Dutchess
Hospital in Rhinebeck,
N.Y. Farley was 67 years
young at the time of his
passing and had been “kicking
cancer’s ass” for four years until
he succumbed to his illness.
Farley was a lifelong resident
of Stanfordville. He grew up in the
Hamlet of Bangall with his par-
ents and three brothers, Bobby,
Stephen and Mark.
Farley attended Stissing
Mountain Jr. Sr. High School,
where he played in a band with
friends, was part of the basketball
and football teams and where he
met his high school sweetheart,
Linda J. Haire. Farley graduated
from high school in 1971 and went
on to marry Linda in September
woodchuck, a red-tailed hawk,
a possum and a fawn. If Farley
couldn’t be found it was
because he was in the
woods and if he could
be found he was either
at Uncle Sonny’s sip-
ping a “Silver Soda” or
in his driveway leaning
on the back of his truck
drinking “a cold one”
or a “silver bullet” as he
liked to call it. Farley’s
third love was an ice-
cold Coors Light enjoyed with
good company.
Farley will be remembered
as a man of good character. He
prided himself on leaving people
in better shape than he found
them. He could light up the room
with his smile and sense of humor
and bring the house down with a
good joke. He was really, really
funny and had a knack for im-
personating and imitating people,
especially when he was re-telling
a story. He seemed to sense when
people needed a big ole hug and
he gave out big hugs to cheer oth-
ers up or to make them feel loved
CRARYVILLE, N.Y. — David
Arthur Matthews, 57, of Craryville
passed away peacefully on Jan. 4,
2020, at home, surrounded by
his family.
He was born on July 13, 1962,
in Catskill, N.Y., to the late Naomi
(Barnum) and John A. Matthews.
David’s passion in life was
working on cars or anything with
a motor. He also enjoyed garden-
ing, fishing and sitting around the
camp fire with family and friends.
His willingness to help others will
surely be missed by many.
He leaves behind his longtime
companion, Lincolna “Lynn” Ta-
larico; his stepchildren, Krystal
(Carver) Cobbins, and Warren
Carver Jr.; his six siblings and
their spouses, John A. Matthews
Jr. and his wife, Peggy, of Falls

Webutuck mourns teacher
Zbigniew Soltysiak’s passing
By KAITLIN LYLE
kaitlinl@millertonnews.com
WEBUTUCK — The North
East (Webutuck) Central School
District, its students, faculty
members and administrators,
were stunned to learn that Zbig-
niew “Pete” Soltysiak, a longtime
social studies teacher at Webu-
tuck High School (WHS), passed
away unexpectedly on Tuesday,
Jan. 7.
For more than 20 years,
Soltysiak was hailed as a valued
educator at Webutuck, where
he taught a broad selection of
courses, including U.S. History.
He also taught economics at
Dutchess Community College.
A first generation immigrant
from Poland, Soltysiak was one
to appreciate the American
Dream, according to his teacher
page on the Webutuck district
website. Outside of his work in
the classroom, he made it his
mission to get to know his stu-
dents, and to let them know his
door was open to them
“He touched a lot of lives,”
said Webutuck Superintendent
of Schools Raymond Castellani.
“He had an impact on a lot of
students’ lives.”
As a testament to Soltysiak’s
influence as a mentor and edu-
cator, Webutuck students deco-
rated his classroom door with
notes and tributes to honor his
memory.
Though the cause of
Soltysiak’s death has not yet
been disclosed, Castellani said
in his letter to Webutuck families
that Solktysiak passed away in
his sleep on Tuesday night, Jan.
7. Once they were informed of
Soltysiak’s unexpected passing,
Castellani said the district met
with its faculty and students in
grades eight through 12.
“Our thoughts and prayers are
with his family,” Castellani said.

AMENIA — Setting the stage
for 2020, the Tri-Town Coalition
assembled at Amenia Town Hall
on Monday, Jan. 6, to discuss its
resolutions for the communities
of Amenia, Millerton/North East
and Pine Plains and to convene
into town-based groups for the
first time.
Hudson River Housing Di-
rector of Strategic Initiatives
Elizabeth Druback-Celaya kicked
off the first meeting of 2020 by
outlining the coalition’s goals for
the meeting, such as making sure
everyone understood the coali-
tion’s new structure and sched-
ule; reviewing the coalition’s past
activities; offering updates; and
convening as town teams and to
start setting goals.
Grace Year Fellow Jordan
Boudreau delivered an overview
of the changes made since the co-
alition’s December meeting, such
as shifting its meeting schedule
from monthly meetings to town-
based meetings and quarterly
meetings. He also made note of
what the coalition can do with
the people and resources it cur-
rently has.
Seeing as they were already
making great progress, Druback-
Celaya invited everyone to share
their 2020 goals for the coalition
along with their personal resolu-
tions as a fun icebreaker. Going
around the circle, each attendee
stated their hometown, affilia-
tion with the local communities,
personal resolutions and goals
for the coming year. 2020 goals
for the coalition included keeping
vigilant and persistent in terms of
installing municipal sewer sys-
tems; focusing on meeting the
needs of senior citizens; coun-
tering the attitude that the town
of Amenia is declining; and more.
Before the coalition broke into
town-based groups, Druback-
Celaya gave a recap of what was
accomplished in 2019, highlight-
ing the group’s efforts to engage
with community leaders. She
also distributed copies of a list
of local properties that are cur-
rently under assessment in the
tri-town region; a list of available
capital grants for the coalition to
around a list of suggested short-
term and long-term projects.
To “kick things off as a group,”
she recommended that the three
groups take a few minutes to an-
swer four critical questions.
Examining the four ques-
tions, the groups were asked to
consider the demographics of
their communities; what they
currently love about their com-
munities; what the communi-
ties they want to achieve might
look like; and what factors may
be preventing them from having
the communities they envision.
After discussing their ideas, the
groups reconvened.
For the town of Pine Plains,
Druback-Celaya talked about the
desire to see Pine Plains Town
Hall move to the center of town,
as well as establishing a septic
system. For the town of Amenia,
John Nowak reported the group
loves the town’s people, archi-
tecture and library and wants
to make community outreach a
priority in order to recruit addi-
tional representation at coalition
meetings. For Millerton, Gregg
Osofsky talked about the village’s

PINE PLAINS/SPORTS
BOE gets down to business

Fewer seats at graduation, $20K for voting

machines and contract extension
By KAITLIN LYLE
kaitlinl@millertonnews.com
PINE PLAINS — At the stroke
of 7 p.m., the Pine Plains Central
School District Board of Edu-
cation (BOE) was ready to get
down to business and discuss the
district’s future plans at its meet-
ing on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Superintendent of Schools
Martin Handler reported that
he received an email from Pine
Plains town Supervisor Darrah
Cloud, who shared the town’s
intent to prepare a grant applica-
tion for a central septic feasibility
study. He said Cloud wanted to
know if the application would
be something the school district
would like to be involved with.
The board did not make a deci-
sion regarding the application at
its meeting.
Looking ahead to this year’s
graduation ceremony, Handler
reported that among some of
the changes made to the Stissing
Mountain Junior/Senior High
Varsity basketball
School auditorium during its
renovation, the total number of
seats decreased from 790 to 570,
which he accredited to a substan-
tial increase in leg room and the
size of the seats. After talking
with Stissing Mountain Princi-
pal Tara Grieb, Handler said he
felt the district should send out
tickets and reserve seating for
this year’s graduation ceremony.
Handler said Grieb has spoken
with the ticketing company Seat
Yourself, which has previously
helped the district with its annual
spring musical productions, and
reported that it would be willing
to help the district with seating
and tickets for graduation. As the
district figures out how many
of its students will be graduat-
ing this June, Handler said Seat
Yourself would allow students
to reserve seats for themselves
and their families. In the event
that there are seats remaining in
the auditorium, Handler said the
seats would go into a pool that
would open up to other family
members. After that, the district
would accommodate remaining
guests in need of a seat in the
Stissing Mountain cafeteria.
Given that New York state
has eliminated the use of lever
voting machines in its school
districts in favor of using optical
scan voting machines, Handler
said the Pine Plains district is
now scrambling to find a solu-
tion before the state primary
election in April and the annual
district budget vote in May. Un-
der this method of voting, an op-
tical scanner would be used to
read the marked paper ballots
and tally election results.
Pine Plains Central School
District Personnel Assistant
and District Clerk Julia Tomaine
reported that the total cost of
purchasing two optical scan
voting machines would come
to $20,000. Breaking down the
cost, she said the regular opti-
cal scan voting machine costs
$8,000 and the handicapped
accessible voting machine costs
$12,000.
At this point, Handler said
the district has two choices: buy
its own optical scan voting ma-
chines or implement the use of
paper ballots.
“We need to know, and it’s
going to be an item on the next
agenda,” Handler said. “If you
want to do the paper ballots, we
can make it happen.”
Already looking ahead to the
next academic year, the BOE ex-
tended Handler’s contract as su-
perintendent of schools through
the 2021-22 school year. In a
press release to the community,
BOE President Chip Couse not-

MILLBROOK — Driv-
ers along Route 44 may have
noticed a new sign outside
of number 3809 — for The
Market at Mabbettsville. The
cheerful sign, with a perky
rooster, reflects the sunny
ambiance found inside, along
with produce, baked goods
and other goodies to enjoy.
It’s at the home of the former
Mabbettsville Market.
The creation of Cheryl
Giles, formerly of Walbridge
Farm, the idea sparked last
summer, but Giles, who was
very pregnant at the time,
worked slowly. Now baby
Eleanor is 4 months old.
“We’re taking baby steps
here,” she said. “Everything
has to be perfect.” Giles is us-
ing local products, but only
if they are the best products.
“Local doesn’t always mean
good, it just means locally
produced.”
The produce on display,
mostly fruits, look delectable,
the breads and baked goods
even more so. The market has
been open for shopping since
just after the New Year, but
the restaurant portion just
opened the second week in
January.

For now, breakfast sand-
wiches, with farm-fresh eggs,
cheese and bacon on fresh
challah bread, or an inspired
peanut butter and jelly panini,
are available. For lunch, think
steaming hot soup, all made
with the very best fresh ingre-
dients, a salad or a specialty
sandwich. Fresh baked goods
for dessert provide the perfect
finish to any meal.
Those who know the qual-
ity of meat from Walbridge
Farm, located on Route 343
in Millbrook, will be happy to
know that Giles will be using
Walbridge products as well as
other local products.
“It’s all about quality,” said
Giles. “It’s about fresh, but it’s
also about the best we can of-
fer: organic, tasty and clean.”
Aside from plenty of park-
ing, the property will also
allow Giles to open a beer
garden this summer and to
use the space above the main
floor for a variety of purposes,
possibly offering music, art or
other pop-up venues.
The Market at Mabbetts-

WASHINGTON — On Thurs-
day, Jan. 9, the town of Washing-
ton held its first meeting of the
New Year. After having a moment
of silence in honor of Planning
Board member Don Hanson,
town Supervisor Gary Ciferri
called on Attorney for the Town
Jeffrey Battistoni to swear in new-
ly re-elected officers: Town Clerk
Mary Alex and Councilmen Al
DeBonis and Robert Audia. The
oath of office was the kickoff of
the town’s reorganization meet-
ing, which swiftly covered some
town business before segueing
into a general meeting.
A special meeting was set for
Wednesday, Jan. 15, to interview
candidates for a Planning Board
vacancy, and to address other
possible business that may come
before the board.
A resolution was made to ac-
cept the Bank of Millbrook’s bond
rate of 2.05 for the purchase of a
highway truck for $201,236, also
authorizing Ciferri to execute the
necessary documents.
Reports were then given. High-
way Supervisor Joe Spagnola said
there were seven events so far,

will be on the road as soon as the
plates are secured. Spagnola also
requested that Tom Coy be named
assistant supervisor, as he cur-
rently doesn’t have an assistant.
The request was granted.
Acting Assessor Lisa Evange-
lista reported that she is working
hard to bring continuity to the
Assessor’s Office, which is still
catching up on work from 2019.
The Assessor’s Office is going
road by road through the village
trying to bring consistency to
all assessments, and is acquiring
new equipment such as cameras
and laser equipment to help it in
its work. The department is also
hoping to tighten up regulations
concerning Air BnB’s and will
also check on zoning.
Zoning Administrator Nancy
Patrick reported that she is work-
ing on permits for BnB’s, and is
conducting searches on proper-
ties that may not be consistent
with their permits. She said she
is comfortable going into homes
and collecting information and
data. She reports that in some
instances, permits and Certifi-
cates of Occupancy (CO) can’t
be found, leaving no paper trail.
Searches currently cost $200.

NEW SIGN LAW Continued from Page A1

limited and meant to look at
the ways the existing sign law
might conflict with various
constitutional sign law doc-
trines. Therefore, he said the
committee didn’t look at any
issue relating to the nature, the
size or the appearance of a sign
or other related factors in the
town.
“It is contemplated in the
Comprehensive Plan that that
will be looked at, at some point
in conjunction with review of
the zoning law in its entirety,”
Arnason said.
Arnason explained the
changes were limited since the
2009 sign law contained very
few content restrictions. As an
example, in reviewing the 2009
sign law’s section on business
signs, he said sign size and
location were discussed, but
content was not. Arnason said
restriction of content is an is-
sue the town will have to tackle
with the amended law.
Arnason went on to report
that initially, some sections of
the law gave special consider-
ation to certain institutions,
such as churches and civic in-
stitutions. But he said the com-
mittee decided to strike those
sections to stay within consti-
tutional parameters.
The committee also included
a requirement in the new law
that prohibits signs of any kind
from being placed on town
property. Additionally, Arnason
said, a sign cannot be placed on
a town highway. He reported
that the town of North East
has at least four kinds of pub-
lic property, including the town
property with the right of way
of town roads; the village of
Millerton; and state and county
rights of way. For the most part,
Arnason said the signs that can
be viewed around town include
political signs during election
season.
As another major change to
the law, Arnason said the com-
mittee added that one sign, “of
a certain size” and “any kind of
a nature,” be allowed per resi-
dential property in town. As
yard signs are used as a method
of communication, he said this
change would “give the people
something” in order to commu-
nicate their views. He mused
later that evening that he
wouldn’t recommend that the
board ask the town’s zoning en-
forcement officer to go around
picking up political signs dur-
ing election season or issuing
warnings for sign content.
“You’re likely to end up in
litigation,” Arnason explained.
Looking ahead, Arnason
said the board will need to
make some decisions on the
law. As an example, he said the
committee decided to expand
the number of flags people can
fly or have on their property,
and he cited the arguments
that might arise in terms of flag
content.
Before concluding his pre-
sentation, Arnason took the
time to acknowledge the con-
tributions of his fellow So-
lar, Wind and Sign Commit-
tee members, including Julie
Schroeder, Lance Middle-
brook, Ralph Fedele and Gregg
Osofsky.
In conclusion, he said, “This
law is going to need to be
looked at extensively when the
town reviews the zoning law.”
Attorney to the Town War-
ren Replansky agreed that the
issue of content discrimination
on signs is ever-changing.
“It’s a very difficult area of
the law,” he said, “and it’s going
to play itself out in the next few
years.”
Councilman Ralph Fedele
remarked that the public has
been compliant with remov-
ing political signs immediately
after an election. Councilman
John Midwood noted that if
the town isn’t going to enforce
a provision for one sign per
residential property, it might be
best to remove it from the new
sign law.
Kennan confirmed there will
be a public hearing on the new
sign law, during which time he
anticipates comments from the
public. Signs have been a recent
issue in town. American Legion
Post 178 is fighting to get its il-
legal LED message sign legal-
ized (see article on Page A4).
And, the North East Fire Dis-
trict is dealing with complaints
about its electronic sign from
the Millerton Zoning Board of
Appeals.
Addressing the audience,
Kennan said the goal of the eve-
ning was for the board to re-
ceive the draft of the new sign
law. Rather than making chang-
es to the existing sign law, Ken-
nan explained the board plans
to approve a new sign law that
essentially mirrors the former
sign law while incorporating
the committee’s changes.
“What we are doing today
is simply acknowledging the
receipt of this,” Kennan said
in reference to the draft of the
new sign law.
After the board unanimously
approved a resolution to accept
the new sign law and begin the
process of its adoption, Ken-
nan said it will be posted to the
town website, at www.townof-
northeastny.gov.
A public hearing on the
new sign law was discussed for
Thursday, Feb. 13, but has not
been confirmed. The Millerton
News will post notice once a
time, date and location are set.

BERNARD DREW Continued from Page A1 DOVER GREENS Continued from Page A1

produces some of our company’s
supplement issues such as Dis-
cover Salisbury; and also writes
for and helps edit the Compass
arts and entertainment section.
Joining the staff as associ-
ate editor is Courtney LeJeune
of Amenia, who will work here
part-time on both The Lakeville
Journal and The Millerton News.
As Bernie Drew had done dur-
ing his many years here, she will
be at the office on Mondays and
Tuesdays.
Writer, historian, journalist
Working part-time has always
suited Bernie. Being a newspaper
editor is only one small piece of
the many things he does. In addi-
tion to writing The Journal’s Na-
ture’s Notebook column twice a
month, he is also a writer of refer-
ence books and he is a respected
local historian (he’s especially
interested in industrial lore and
mechanical objects).
Bernie has also authored ref-
erence books of writers in vari-
ous genres, such as mysteries and
black authors. In all, he has pub-
lished 54 books since 1979.
And he is an expert on civil
rights activist W.E.B. DuBois, who
spent his teen years in Great Bar-
rington (when he was known as
“Willie”).
Bernie also lives in Great Bar-
rington, although he was born in
northern New Hampshire.
“And then my parents ended up
in Massachusetts. My dad worked
on a 3,000-acre private estate, so
I had woods to roam and cellar
holes to explore when I was grow-
ing up,” he said.
All that exploration fed his love
of hiking and of digging for his-
tory, to the benefit of Lakeville
Journal readers who have enjoyed
his thoughtful, laconic articles
over the years about things he’s
uncovered in the woods here-
abouts and interesting hikes our
readers can take.
Our readers might not know
how many other parts of the
newspaper Bernie writes. As
part of doing the layout for The
Journal’s front page every week,
as well as the letters page and
various other editorial pages, he
often writes pithy and amusing
headlines and photo cutlines.
Above all, Bernie is a writer
and (the essential ingredient for
own local paper, The Berkshire
Eagle. He and his wife, Donna,
have two daughters, Darcie and
Jessie, who were raised in Great
Barrington and now live, respec-
tively, in Maine and in Washing-
ton state.
Jessie will be getting married
this year, so Bernie is of course
planning a trip to the West Coast
to visit her. Also on the retirement
agenda is more writing.
“Last year, I wrote a book about
the estate that I grew up on, which
was in Windsor, Mass.,” he said.
“I’ll probably self-publish that this
year. And last fall, I began a short-
term project for the Great Bar-
rington Historical Commission,
surveying buildings and physical
artifacts that have changed or
moved. It is 174 pages long.”
He would like to travel, maybe
to Scotland again.
“I have other history projects
already going on, and I expect to
find more.”
While we here at The Journal
can understand Bernie’s desire to
leave, we are certainly unhappy
to lose him.
“It’s time to let a new genera-
tion of people try their hand,” he
said last week. “It’s always been
a great bunch of people to work
with here, and a nice opportunity
for me to get out of the house and
interact with other people. Writ-
ing can be solitary work.”
A living history of the paper
Bernie has lived through quite
a few changes in his years here
at the paper. When he began in
the fall of 1996, David Parker
was The Journal’s editor, and the
company had just been purchased
from Robert Hatch by a group of
private investors from the area,
led by and including our former
editor and owner, the late Robert
Estabrook.
Dave Parker was followed by
Ruth Epstein, and then by the
team of myself as executive editor
Millerton news
The
www.facebook.com/themillertonnews
and Janet Manko as publisher and
editor in chief. Whitney Joseph
is editor of The Millerton News.
Back in those early days, Ber-
nie recalls, the pages were still
laid out with hot wax and X-Acto
knives.
“We had Compugraphic type-
setters back then, and they’d give
us long sheets of text that we’d
have to cut to fit on the page.”
The newspaper is now laid
out completely on the computer
and is shipped electronically to
our printer in Trumbull, Conn.
Back when Bernie started, we
still printed the newspaper in the
back print shop of our Lakeville
office. We still took photos with
film cameras and printed them on
deadline in our tiny darkroom.
“Those were the days when
you could smell the ink and watch
them make the papers in the print
shop.”
‘To Sir, With Love’
Bernie has been here in the
newsroom since I first started
as a Lakeville Journal reporter
in 1999. I’ve learned an immense
amount from him, about how to
write and how to edit and how
to treat your co-workers (always
kindly, patiently and with respect
and dry humor).
When I think of my time
with him, the title song from the
film “To Sir, With Love,” comes
to mind, sung so beautifully by
Lulu. He’s taken me and also our
newspaper almost literally “from
crayons to perfume,” or rather
from wax rollers to InDesign tem-
plates. There is no way to thank
him for all he’s done. And there’s
no way to express how much we’ll
miss him, partly because it would
embarrass him but also because it
would just be too sad.
So, we’ll just note that he has
many vigorous years ahead of him
and we expect him to come back
and write for us and visit with us
as often as he can.

Realtor® at Large
On January 8th, CT Governor Lamont
announced that the state will be awarding
over 9 million in grants to help purchase
lands that will be set aside as open space.
The state will be partnering with local land
trusts, like the Salisbury Association, Sharon
Land Trust and the Cornwall Conservation
Trust, to jointly purchase and preserve
these parcels with conservation easements.
The purpose of this is to protect wildlife
habitats and provide outdoor recreational
opportunities for the public. The Northwest
Corner is fortunate to have received three of
the grants. In Salisbury, 79 acres abutting the
Appalachian Trail, 70 acres in Sharon and
72 acres in Cornwall. Our local land trusts
are operated by volunteers committed to
preserving our heritage and deserve our

here are those who
love to go outside in
the snow and cold
and then there are those
who like to stay inside
with a hot beverage and a
blanket and either read a
wonderful book or watch a
movie, preferably a classic.
Somewhere in between
those two extremes there
lies a winter alternative:
The intrepid, and those
who prefer not to watch
films on a television
screen, alone, can leave
their homes and head out
to film screenings at two
local venues.
The Cornwall Library in
Cornwall, Conn., will run
films that run the gamut
from very silly to very seri-
ous in January and Febru-
ary. Admission is free.
Coming up on Saturday,
Jan. 18, at 4 p.m. is one of
the most popular of all
the Marx brothers’ films,
“Duck Soup,” released in
1933 and set in the fic-
tional land of Freedonia.
Groucho, Harpo and Chico
run rings around each oth-
er and Margaret Dumont.
Another slapstick film
about a fictional revolution
is Woody Allen’s “Bananas,”
which will be screened on
Saturday, Feb. 8, at 4 p.m.
Allen tries to impress love
interest Louise Lasser with
his radical politics and

somehow ends up running
a revolution in a banana
republic.
A fake war in Albania,
designed to distract the
public from a presidential
sex scandal, is the subject
of “Wag the Dog,” direct-
ed by Barry Levinson and
starring Robert de Niro
and Dustin Hoffman. This
1997 political satire will be
screened on Saturday, Feb.
22, at 4 p.m.
On March 14, the fea-
tured film is “Bad Day at
Black Rock,” released in
1955. Spencer Tracy arrives
in a dusty Western town
in search of a man named
Komoko — and he finds in-
stead a town full of secrets
that no one wants revealed.
Slapstick returns with
“The Mouse that Roared”
on Saturday, March 28, at
4 p.m., another film about
a fictional nation in a state
of revolution. This one was
released in 1959 and stars
Peter Sellers.
Admission is free but a
$5 donation is suggested.
The Mahaiwe Theater
in Great Barrington will
show classic films on its
big screen in January and
February.
Tickets are $8 for adults
and $5 for children.
Jan. 16-22, 2020
Coming up on Thurs-
day, Jan. 30, at 7 p.m. is the
artist sometimes known
as Prince’s “Purple Rain,”
which came out in 1984
and features some of his
most popular songs, in-
cluding “When Doves Cry,”
“Purple Rain” and “I Would
Die 4 U.”
On Sunday, Feb. 2, at 7
p.m. the featured film is,
of course, Harold Ramis’s
“Groundhog Day” (1983),
starring Bill Murray as the
newscaster who can’t con-
tinue with his life until he
starts to get it right.
“Moonstruck” starring
Cher, Nicholas Cage, Olym-
pia Dukakis, Danny Aiello,
Vincent Gardenia and New
York City will be shown on
Friday, Feb. 14, at 7 p.m.
On Thursday, Feb. 20, at
4 p.m., the Muppets travel
to London to stop a jewel
heist in “The Great Muppet
Caper” (1981).
And to acknowledge
that it is in fact winter, the
Mahaiwe will show War-
ren Miller’s 2019 ski film
“Timeless,” on Saturday,
Feb. 15, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets
are $15, with $10 tickets
