conviction was arrested in Pine Plains
by officers with U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on
Wednesday, Feb. 26.

The storied past of Millerton’s Village
Hall, and requests for input on its future
By CAROL KNEELAND
Special to The Millerton News
MILLERTON — For more than
115 years, the distinctive building at
the corner of Dutchess Avenue and
Simmons Street — Millerton’s Village
Hall — has been a hub for local resi-
dents. It’s seen everything from good
times to bad, to protecting the village
from fire, to threats of WWII enemy
aircraft, to the everyday dangers that
continue to arise today.
It now stands empty, the victim
of aging and issues that have forced
its village offices and Police Depart-
ment to relocate. Due to a myriad of
reasons, since last October, Village
Hall has moved to One John St., and
then 50 Main St.; on Tuesday, March

Florentino into custody without inci-
dent.
It was not their first encounter with
Florentino. In March 2019, ICE officers
had an encounter with him in Hudson,
during which time an individual inter-
fered with ICE attempts to take action
against Florentino. ICE officers de-
parted the scene “in the interest of pub-
lic safety,” according to the DHS.
Florentino was convicted of DUI in
June 2018.
Currently, he is being detained in
ICE custody pending removal pro-
cated in court.”
The guilty pleas came following a
15-month long investigation into the
connection among Olivet, its founder,
South Korean pastor David Jang, and
Newsweek Media Group’s (NMG)
parent company, IBT Media.
According to Manhattan District
Attorney (DA) Cyrus R. Vance Jr.,
publishing executives Etienne Uzac,
the former co-owner and chairman of
IBT Media, which once owned News-
week magazine, and William Ander-
son, the former CEO of Christian Me-
dia Corporation (CMC) and former
Olivet trustee, entered guilty pleas for
engaging in a scheme “to fraudulently

AMENIA — Jane (Hoose) Bent-
sen, 87, long-time friend of Hobart
and William Smith Colleges in Ge-
neva, N.Y., and well-known con-
tributor to the civic, educational and
cultural life of Geneva, died peace-
fully on Feb. 15, 2020.
A memorial service will be held
at 1 p.m. on Thursday,
March 5, at St. John’s
Chapel on the campus
of Hobart and William
Smith Colleges. A pri-
vate burial will be held at
Glenwood Cemetery.
She was born Jane
Alison Hoose on Aug. 3,
1932, in Sharon. Jane grew
up in neighboring Ame-
nia, where she learned civic respon-
sibility and compassion from her
father, Fred, who chaired the local
school board and, as bank president,
worked creatively to help this small
farming community recover from
the Great Depression. She shared
a love of nature, birdwatching and
gardening with her mother, Fanny.
Jane was an avid reader and an
exceptional student. She graduated
summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa,
with honors in English literature
from William Smith College in 1954.
She received a Master’s in Educa-
tion degree from the University of
Rochester in 1958.
Those formative years at William
Smith College held a special place in
Jane’s heart. She once wrote, “The
Colleges were an exciting place to be
in the 50s. The Western Civilization
program was then in its zenith, led
by Brooke Otis and Paul Alexander.
I would not have read Plato, Aristo-
tle, St. Augustine, Aquinas, Gregory
of Nyssa, Homer, Tacitus, Chaucer,
Pope, and Marx were it not for those
wonderful courses. My outlook on
life was permanently changed be-
cause of that opportunity.”
Jane married Irving O. Bentsen
(Hobart College, Class of 1954) on
Aug. 13, 1955. Irving was an out-
standing student who was pursuing
a Master’s in Mathematics degree at
the University of Rochester. How-
ever, Irving was blind, and, in those
days, the prospect for professional
employment was very much an
open question.
In 1956, Hobart and William
Smith Colleges did something quite
extraordinary for Jane and Irving.
They offered Irving a temporary
two-year position as Instructor of
Mathematics so that Jane and Irving
could work together to develop re-
search and teaching techniques that
might enable Irving to pursue an
academic career. Professors Walter
Holly Stahovec
AMENIA — Holly Stahovec, 46,
of Amenia died February 22, 2020
at the Eleanor Nursing
Care Center in Hyde
Park, NY. She was the
loving partner of Robert
E. Colley.
Holly was born March
20, 1973 in Sharon the
daughter of Rose Ann
Stahovec of San Angelo,
Texas, and the late Gene
A. Stahovec. She was a
graduate of the Housatonic Val-
ley Regional High School. She was
involved in food service and also
worked for several local firms tak-

All services are free and confidential.
Jane (Hoose) Bentsen
Durfee, Robert Beinert, and Abigail
Mosey were instrumental in making
this opportunity available.
The two-year experiment was
successful, providing needed di-
rectional guidance for the young
couple. Irving said of the experience,
“Jane applied her talents, skills, work
and patience, to make this
teaching enterprise fly,
and for that I am eternally
grateful.”
Irving was told that
he would need a Ph.D.
in order to get a tenure
track faculty position.
In 1958, Irving enrolled
in the doctoral program
at Rutgers University.
Jane worked hand-in-glove with
Irving, recording research papers
and graduate level texts such as “To-
pological Groups,” and translating
the Cartan Seminars on Algebraic
Topology from French to English;
then taking dictation for his thesis
research in Abstract Algebra.
“I remember playing on the
floor with blocks while Mom and
Dad played call and response in
the language of mathematics,” re-
calls Jane’s eldest son, Jim. “‘Kernel’
and ‘Lemma’ were my two favor-
ite words because I thought they
might refer to something I could
play with. Now, as I look back on
Mom’s old handwritten notes, with
such complex mathematical nota-
tion, I marvel at how radical a shift
this was for Mom, and how much
courage it took.”
Irving completed his Ph.D. and
accepted a faculty position at the
University of Vermont in 1964. But
Jane and Irving had deep roots in
Geneva, so when The Colleges of-
fered a tenure track faculty position
in 1966, they gladly accepted.
Jane was excited to return to Ge-
neva, and to put down roots. She
was welcomed into the Tuesday
Piano Quartette (two pianos, eight
hands), where she experienced many
delightful times sharing a common
interest with musical friends. She
remained a member for 47 years.
Jane derived a deep sense of pur-
pose and accomplishment from the
success of Irving’s academic career
at The Colleges. She also valued be-
ing an integral part of the academic
community at The Colleges, where
she was both loved and admired in
her own right.
Jane was a long-time member of
Trinity Church and the Finger Lakes
Chorale and Community Chorus.
She also served on the Geneva Con-
certs Board of Directors, the Geneva
Free Library Steering Committee,
ing care of plants. She also was a
private caretaker; caring for the el-
derly in their own homes.
Besides her partner,
Robert, of 30 years and
her mother, Rose, Holly
is survived by a sister
Jean Hilton and her hus-
band Brian, a niece Ali-
son and a nephew Adam.

vate. Memorial contri-

the Molly Lydenberg Scholarship
Committee and the William Smith
Alumni Association.
Jane served for decades on the
Geneva League of Women Voters,
and on the Geneva Human Rights
Commission. She had a reputation
for enthusiasm, competence, humor
and grace. Civic life in Geneva was
tumultuous in the 1960s and early
1970s, reflecting the concerns of a
nation. Jane was paying close at-
tention, engaging on policy issues
affecting racial balance in Geneva’s
public schools and advocating for
fair housing for the poor and the
mentally disabled. In 1986, the
League honored Jane with the Ag-
nes Slosson Lewis Award for her
commitment to educational, civic
and cultural affairs. In 1998, the Ge-
neva Area Branch of the NAACP
also honored Jane with the Mary
Ann Mallard’s Memorial Commu-
nity Service Award.

Round III has new name, but long history
By CAROL KNEELAND
Special to The Millerton News
MILLERTON — When a res-
taurant changes its name, it’s usu-
ally cause for a grand opening —
possibly some balloons and a big
sign that announces, “Under New
Management.”
None of those were needed with
the newly re-named Round III, the
long established diner south of the
village of Millerton at 5523 Route
22, the site of the next Dine Out for
History night on Monday, March 9,
from 5 to 9 p.m.
Most recently known as Round
Tuit, in the past year the restaurant
has passed from long-time owner
Dale Culver to his children, David
Fletcher and Sarah Goll, who have
re-christened the restaurant.
Originally built as a drive in by
the much-loved, former Millerton
mayor, the late Jacob “Jake” Shoifet,
the restaurant was run next by Doug
and Hilda Sands before being pur-
chased in the 1980’s by Dale’s mom,
Sarah Culver, and his dad, known as
“Mike,” who christened it the Round
Tuit. They, in turn, passed it on to
him.
Dale credits his offspring with
ing the facilities. They added an ice
cream freezer with 15 flavors of
ice cream and “have refreshed and
refurbished the whole place. Their
hope is to continue to upgrade the
business and just see what happens.”
Open seven days a week, the res-
taurant holds around 70 with seat-
ing split between a counter area and
dining room.
Adding to the homey atmosphere
are walls graced with paintings by
local artists and “daily newspapers
everywhere,” for patrons who in-
clude a number of regulars.
“I just think decent food at regu-
lar prices” is behind the long run-
ning success of the local institution,”
said Culver.
According to North East Histori-
cal Society President Ed Downey,
which is sponsoring the Dine Out
for History program, “The restau-
rant will donate 10% of dinner pro-
ceeds to the Historical Society to
help it do research and digitize its
collection and make it more avail-
able to the public.”
This is the first year of Round
III’s participation in The Dine Out
series, which began last year. So far,
in 2020, events have been held at
The Millerton Inn, the Oakhurst

When will Millerton get a sewer?
Wastewater possibilities
By KAITLIN LYLE
kaitlinl@millertonnews.com
MILLERTON — The Miller-
ton Village Board, the North East
Town Board and the Millerton
Business Alliance (MBA) gathered
at the NorthEast-Millerton Li-
brary Annex on Thursday, Feb.
27, for a presentation by Tighe
& Bond Senior Project Man-
ager Erin Moore on what must
be done to create a wastewater
treatment system in the village.
Mayor Debbie Middlebrook
talked about the feasibility grant
the village received for water de-
partment improvements, such as
repainting the water storage tank,
replacing the wet barrel hydrants
and installing water meters. De-
livering the same presentation she
gave at the Village Board’s Jan. 21
meeting, Moore spoke of the four
main tasks entailed for installing
a wastewater treatment facility
in the village, which included
identifying a sewer service area
delineation and the boundaries

Above is an image of the Gateway Drive In, with its owner, water flows in the village; out-
Bond’s research of local waste-
water flows and the amount of
water used per day. She spoke
of a few potential sites and their
challenges. She talked about the
differences of implementing a
surface wastewater treatment
facility versus a subsurface waste-
water treatment facility. Moore
presented the various construc-
tion, operation and maintenance
life cycle costs involved, adding
that the facility’s life cycle costs
covered a total of 20 years.
Tighe & Bond strongly rec-
ommends the village phase in
the project. In the meantime, it
will look for grant opportunities.
During public comment, James
Hendrick, property owner of the
former Saperstein’s at 41 Main
St., asked whether Tighe & Bond
considered vacant village par-
cels in its analysis of wastewater
flows while Townscape Presi-
dent Jeanne Vanecko encouraged
Moore to look into options for
recharging village aquifers. In re-
sponse to resident Jennifer Dow-

Webutuck Elementary School student Dany Xococ, 6, displayed the star

Webutuck Theme Day is out of this world
By KAITLIN LYLE
kaitlinl@millertonnews.com
WEBUTUCK — Even as their
feet remained on Earth, students
at Webutuck Elementary School
found themselves transported
to outer space, if only for a day,
thanks to their school’s annual
Theme Day, on Friday, Feb. 28.
Designated as the kickoff for
the Parents as Reading Partners
(PARP) program, Theme Day has
been a much-loved tradition for
more than a decade. Each year
a different theme is chosen, and
then teachers and staff work tire-
lessly to decorate the school.
“Theme Day is something that
is so memorable that if you ask the
older kids what their favorite part
of Webutuck Elementary School
was, they’ll say ‘Theme Day’,” said
Scientists and students make
for a powerful combination
By JUDITH O’HARA BALFE
judithb@millertonnews.com
MILLBROOK — When el-
ementary school students get
together with professional scien-
tists, an amazing assortment of
experiments and discoveries can
take place. And that’s just what
happened at Alden Place Elemen-
tary School, which hosted its an-
nual science fair, STEAM 2020,
on Wednesday, Feb. 26.
The theme was, “Show your
PRIDE…Become a scientist,” and
that’s exactly what students did.
Some chose to work alone, while
others worked in teams. Awards
were given out for each grade:
third, fourth and fifth, teams and
individuals.
One thing that made the proj-
ect special is that scientists from
the Cary Institute of Ecosystem
Studies visited with the children
one month before the fair, dis-
cussed their projects and how to
conduct and present experiments.
Cary scientists India Futterman,
Peter Groffman, Lisa Martel,
Fiona Keating, Meg Schierer and
Amanda Johnson worked on the
projects, and then returned to act
as judges.
Alden Place teachers Veronica
Smith and Corinne Goerlicin
were in charge of STEAM 2020,
the acronym standing for Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts
and Mathematics. Many other
teachers contributed in various
ways, including allowing for flex-
ible schedules.
Projects ranged from simple to
elaborate and most were color-
ful, fun and well executed. House-
hold materials were very popular,
as were food products, used in
projects like: Paper Towel War,
Marshmallow Catapult, Crystal
Science and Play with Your Food.
One project used vinegar and
baking soda to show how they
could dissolve certain sugary
candies; another explained why
oil and water don’t mix. The Re-
verse Engineering a Light Saber
project was popular, as was Are
Your Hands Clean?
Bath Bomb Chemistry taught
how to make the scented bath
bombs so many people like to
use in their baths.
Musical Vibrations involved a

teacher Monica Baker, “so the
teachers put in the extra effort to
make it special. We love to be able
to offer kids something different
than a normal day at school.”
Gathering at the elementary
school the night before, teachers
pulled out all the stops to dress
the school building up for a trip
to outer space. With starry blue
paper taped to the walls and ban-
ners with constellations hanging
from the hall ceilings, the entire
school building was set in semi-
darkness in an imitation of the
galaxies above. Accompanied
by a silver rocket and a floating
blue spaceship made out of lights
and two kiddie pools, a friendly
cardboard alien was stationed in
the main lobby to greet incom-
ing students. Teachers got into the

bits. When they were put next
to a music source, the vibrations
of the music made the paper bits
dance on the plastic wrap. The
movement could be managed by
raising or lowering the volume.
Other projects encouraged
people to Play with Your Food;
there was Crystal Science, an-
swering the question of how crys-
tals are formed; what is behind
Tsunamis; and Fun with Mold.
The first-place winners for
third grade were for Why Don’t
Oil and Water Mix? by a team of
Matthew Glazer and Josh Shultis.
The individual award went to Lily
Guiese for Crystal Science.

ized by the classrooms’ transfor-

for them.
In Jennifer Jaffe’s classroom,

were invited to thread stars with
pipe cleaners and beads and to
make stars using wax paper and

Stissing Theatre Guild soars to new heights with ‘Peter Pan’

PINE PLAINS — With a newly
renovated auditorium as its per-

crew, the Stissing Theatre Guild
couldn’t have chosen a more mag-

for this year’s spring musical at

Directed and choreographed

And the students were thrilled to

Public seeks answers on Stanford’s 58.9% tax cut
By KAITLIN LYLE
kaitlinl@millertonnews.com
STANFORDVILLE — Ten-
sions rose at the Stanford Town
Board meeting on Thursday, Feb.
27, as residents expressed their
confusion and consternation
about the unauthorized 58.9%
tax cut in the town’s 2020 budget.
The Town Auditorium was
packed with residents wanting
answers. Though a discussion
about the tax cut wasn’t on the
agenda, attendees raised the issue
during public comment.
Referring back to the board’s
previous meeting on Thursday,
Feb. 13, former Stanford Council-
man Mark D’Agostino was pres-
ent on the 27th. Since he was a
part of the 2020 budget process
and “very happy to vote for a 60%
tax decrease for the taxpayers,”
he proposed he be allowed to be
on the panel at the next board
meeting.
“I feel it would make it a truly
bipartisan meeting so it doesn’t
look like another finger-pointing,
accusatory meeting,” D’Agostino
said.
“Trust is the glue which holds
the community together,” said
Stanford resident Mark Lagus

faceted sets being used in mul-
tiple scenes throughout the show.
Likening the entire set to a puzzle
piece, she gestured to the set for
to the board. “Trust is the cur-
rency in exchange, the means by
which societies prosper. Erosion
of trust, however, is crippling, and
we see the effect of this every day
in the world around us.”
Referring to former town
Supervisor Joseph Norton’s and
D’Agostino’s campaign for the
10.84% tax cut that was origi-
nally OK’d by the Town Board
last year and how that approval
occurred around election time,
Lagus asked, “Why did an 11%
tax cut become 60% only after an
election was lost? Actions which
attempt to reverse an electoral
result are betrayals of the public
trust… The citizens of Stanford
deserve to know the truth.”
Having spoken his piece, Lagus
called upon the New York state
attorney general and the Public
Integrity Bureau to investigate
the tax cut to determine whether
there had been violations of the
state’s penal code. He also called
upon the board to restore the
10.84% tax cut that was originally
proposed for the 2020 budget.
The board opened a second
public comment period later
that evening, during which time
it answered questions about the
town’s finances from 2019 and the
impact of a restorative levy on the

When asked what led the Stiss-

board discussed implementing a
restorative tax levy that would

Tensions flared as the public

attempted to explain what hap-

“You don’t have all the facts

because you don’t have all the

Inzeo said to the board. “I think
we need to all come together in a

bipartisan, Inzeo said the audi-

its thinking and its practices.

Combining the show’s cast,

Sarah Griffin, who will share the
role over the course of the four
performances. Avery will perform
the role on Friday and Saturday

said that $30 trillion in new taxes

and the rich, another $12 tril-

and a $1.2 trillion cut in defense

$6.4 trillion would be generated
from earnings from his Green
New Deal program.
The director of the Progres-
sive Policy Institute’s Center for
Funding, Ben Ritz, concluded
that Sanders’ numbers would
only generate about $29 tril-
lion in taxes and revenues. That
would still leave a big shortfall
and would need to be made up
by either borrowing or by taxing
the middle class. To put that into
perspective, the entire personal
income tax over 10 years would
amount to the same amount of
money. So, what about borrow-
ing the money?
Both bond investors and
more and more economists are
concluding that raising the mon-
ey in the debt markets is entirely
doable. In fact, it has never been
cheaper for the U.S. government
to borrow money. U.S. treasuries
this week hit an all-time low with
as little as 1.25% on the bench-
mark 10-year bond. It appears
that this trend is here to stay for
at least the next few years.

est rates have been in a broad
decline, while the national debt

has moved in the opposite di-
rection. There was a time when
Republicans were supposedly
the watch dogs of the budget
deficit and government spend-
ing, but that is no longer the
case. Under Donald Trump, the
GOP spends more money than a
drunken sailor and no one cares.
Democrats don’t seem to care
either. Deficits have grown and
are approaching 5% of GDP and
federal debt owned by the public
is above 80% of GDP this year.
It seems from this perspec-
tive that Bernie Sanders’ pro-
grams could be accomplished
simply by issuing U.S. Treasury
100-year bonds every year for
the next decade. Of course,
Sanders knows this as well as
anyone, but chooses (because
the optics are better) to argue
he can finance his program by a
platform of taxes and revenues.
That is nothing new. Every poli-
tician in modern history prom-
ised the same thing.
The question one must ask
is not whether it is affordable,
because most Americans tend to
live above their means and have
no problem going into debt to
accomplish that, but whether or
not you embrace Sanders’ vision
of America’s future. It is not a
question of socialism. That horse
has left the barn. Corporate so-
cialism is the reality of our ev-
eryday lives, in my opinion. It is
simply a question of what kind of

You can get at the truth —
think and ask questions. Let’s just
look at global warming which is
accepted to be caused by CO2
emissions principally from fossil
fuels (gas, diesel, oil). A five - year
study of 150 years of temperature
data collected from every ship,
post office, outpost and station
anywhere on Earth, was conclud-
ed by NOAA and presented to the
U.N. way back in May of 1992.
It summed up with this phrase:
“There is no appreciable global
warming, it’s just not as cold as
it used to be.” (Honest, I’m not

Al Gore and Sen. T. Wirth sitting

Sounds like the glass is not
half empty, it’s half full, right?
Well, yes and no. Over all, the
mean average world temperature
will not be as cold as it was any-
more, especially in winter. Sum-
mer temperatures might well be
slightly higher on average.
Hear that word “average?”
It’s a trick word. If you take a
temperature recording six times
a day and average it out across
the globe for a year, the overall
temperatures will be about the
same, but a little warmer. But
what they also found was that
the sudden daily fluctuations
during the past 10 years were
10% to 20% greater than they
had been 150 years or 100 years
ago. In other words, if it is 15

overall. “Big deal, 1 degree” the
anti-environmental lobby says.
Tell that to the farmer in Nebras-

she will tell you that trees like
the maples take 50,000 years to

what happens to a maple tree if
it doesn’t reach freezing in winter
­­— killing bugs, disease and other
natural problems, and they’ll tell
you the tree will be “stressed.”
Stress them enough one winter,
or many winters in a row, and the
tree can die. Look around you,
maple trees are dying.

WEST POINT — The var-
sity indoor track teams from
the Millbrook and Pine Plains
Central School Districts were
ready to run at the sectionals
meet held at West Point Mili-
tary Academy on Saturday, Feb.
15, at the Gillis Fieldhouse.
Competing for the Mill-
brook girls team, Dalia Rios
earned second place in the long
jump while Ryan Hall came in
seventh place for the Millbrook
boys team. Blazer Sadie Krueger
placed fifth in the 1,000-meter
dash while Garrett Ackerman
came in seventh place and Da-
vid Sager came in eighth place
in the 1,000-meter dash.
For the 55-meter dash pre-
liminaries, Madison Chomycz
cepted Lin’s pledge to refrain
from serving in a governmental
or managerial position at Olivet
for the next two years.
Ronn Torossian, spokesper-
son for Olivet, said, “Olivet Uni-
versity has reached a resolution
with the New York district at-
torney that allows the school to
resolve all matters. The school
will undergo a process that,
when successfully completed,
allows for a resolution with two
misdemeanor charges related to
commercial loans. We have tak-
en this opportunity to improve
the school’s functions to prevent
any recurrence of these types of
issues in the future.”
Judge Pickholz ruled that
Olivet will be conditionally dis-
charged if its obligations are met
during the next two years.
The defendants — who noted
that although the loans were ob-
tained fraudulently they were
repaid in full — are hoping to
get off with no jail time. They
will appear back in court for
their sentencing on Monday,
April 20.

Stissing Mountain seniors Jaylen
Beliveau, Maegan Flynn, Saman-
tha Spizuoco, Emma Hall and
Peyton Gardner stepped onto the
court with their parents, where
they were recognized for their
contributions to the team and
wished good luck in their future
endeavors.
Despite having a slow start,
the Lady Bombers moved quick-
ly against the Onteora Eagles and
were up 3-2 with just four min-
ils at home. Emily Torre led
the scoring for Stissing Moun-
tain with 22 points, followed
by Lily Brenner with 10 points
and five steals. Jaylen Beliveau
scored nine points for the team
while Maegan Flynn scored five
points.

People often think of dams as a natural part
of the landscape—like waterfalls—but
they are not. They are artificial structures
that degrade the quality of streams and
block fish migrations. Like any structure,
they deteriorate over time and therefore
they may also pose public safety risks.
Add to that an owner’s insurance costs
and that they require costly professional
inspections and maintenance. In addition,
the presence of a dam can complicate the
sale of property. Therefore, one might want
to consider alternatives. Most dam owners
don’t know where to turn to even consider
what it would take to remove their dam
and restore a free-flowing, healthy stream.
There are people, organizations, and
engineering firms who can help. With the
Connecticut DEEP, one can contact the
Dam Safety Office at 860-4424-3754, the
Fisheries Division (steve.gephard@ct.gov),
or consultants who specialize in this
work, such as Sally Harold (sharold265@
gmail.com).

and down the street lighting the

In 1904, the company and its
old fashioned hose cart were re-
located to the newly constructed
E.H. Thompson Hose Company
at 21 Dutchess Ave., the site of to-
day’s vacant Village Hall. There,
through the coming decades, the
building saw all manner of activ-
ity critical to life in a small vil-
lage.
Voting relocated there the first
year, at least one blood drive was
held providing life saving pints
to a resident with a rare blood
type, movies — including pop-
corn and candy — were shown
during WWII and school chil-
dren were given regular tours of
the firehouse. Groups held meet-
ings there, including firemen,
who followed their meetings
with cards and “eats” prepared in
the small second floor kitchen by
the house committee, which also
maintained the building.
During the war, firemen were
on duty 24 hours a day with at
least one or two taking the night
shift, with cots for comfort and a
fine levied if a turn was missed.
That defense effort was coupled
with the volunteer lookouts in
shacks on Sharon Road and the
Dutchess Avenue parking lot,
who reported every plane that
MILLBROOK PRE-K Continued from Page A1
on website development and,
importantly, it produced an es-
timated budget.
So far, surveys have been re-
turned by 191 participants. Cur-
rently, 18.8% families said they
have children enrolled in pre-k
programs, while 81.25% said
they don’t. Asked if they would
be interesting in enrolling in a
pre-k program in the Millbrook
district, 46.6% said no, 44% said
yes and 9.4% said possibly. Asked
if they would be willing to sup-
port the program as a taxpayer,
92.7% said yes and 7.3% said no.
The survey also showed that
61.3% of the respondents prefer
a full-day program, while 48.2%
prefer a half-day program.
The projected budget esti-
mates that classroom startup
costs, including furniture, sup-
plies and resources, would run
approximately $19,000. The
budget for transportation (the
costs are expected to be the
same for a half day or a full day,
and the district would use its
existing fleet) is estimated at
$60,000. The cost for a teacher
is expected to be $107,520. If the
district can fill a classroom with
the hoped-for 15 or so children,
it would have one teacher and
one teacher’s aide. If only eight
or nine children register, the
class would be led by a single
teacher. If necessary, the district
would select students for the
program based on a lottery.
The benefits of a full-day
program versus a half-day pro-
gram were discussed. At the
end of the kindergarten year,
children who attended full-day
pre-k outperformed children
who attended half-day pre-k,
according to Pidala. One study
found that about 80% of full-day
pre-k students were at or above
the national school readiness
norms; the number for those in
half-day programs was 58%. The
instruction in full-day programs
was also reportedly more re-
laxed and allowed for in-depth
exploration, more experiences,
including trips, and deeper rela-
tionships.
The district would also ben-

flew over the town to a central
command.
Over the years, the company
became part of the village and
the name changed to the Mil-
lerton Fire Department. The
first firetruck, a 1922 American
LaFrance, was joined by a 1936
Ahrens Fox and the Valentine
Funeral Home hearse, which was
used by the rescue squad as an
ambulance.
Meanwhile, a fire in Delson’s
Department Store consumed
the local library, which was on
its second floor, destroying all
but one book that was rescued
by a heroic June Davis. The li-
brary began a rebuilding pro-
cess 10 days later on April 22,
1955, in a small building on John
Street, with supplemental stor-
age in the First National Store on
Main Street, which later became
Saperstein’s.
The library carried on de-
spite cramped quarters — even
providing extras such as historic
presentations, chess lessons and
a children’s hour as the board
searched for a new location.
When the fire station acquired
a truck too large for the station,
a new building was erected on
Century Boulevard and the com-
pany moved in 1962.
At that time, according to li-
efit from a full-day program,
said Pidala, by streamlining bus
routes, which saves money; cre-
ating a consistent schedule; in-
creasing its potential to provide
more early intervention services
to students in need; and allow-
ing more time for play, prob-
lem solving and peer relations,
which also allows students to
improve fine and gross motor
skills.
Half-day programs have
their advantages as well. They
allow for more family time and
more down time for children;
the shorter time, Pidala said, is
in keeping with youngsters’ at-
tention spans and interest levels.
The district’s benefits with a
half-day program are that lunch
needn’t be provided; no “spe-
cials” would be necessary; one
teacher could teach two sec-
tions, both a.m. and p.m.; and
there would be more potential
for teachers to interact with
children.
There are additional advan-
tages of pre-k for students with
disabilities and related services:
including early identification
and intervention, provided and
paid for by Dutchess Coun-
ty, like occupational therapy,
speech therapy, special educa-
tion itinerant services, psycho-
logical counseling and parent
training.
The BOE listened to Pidala’s
presentation and asked some
pertinent questions. All in all,
members were receptive to the
idea. The place of operation and
many other details still need to
be worked out, but BOE Presi-
dent Perry Hartswick was sup-
portive, noting that Millbrook

brary board minutes, the “Village
Board made the decision to allot
the entire first floor to the library
and build on an addition for a
clerk’s office.”
Debbie Ruppel, current presi-
dent of the NorthEast-Millerton
Library located since 1975 at 75
Main St. with its Annex at 28
Century Blvd., recently solicited
memories online of the Dutchess
Avenue library. Past patrons re-
membered it well, with its smell
of “old papers and books” and its
“welcoming warmth” on a rainy
day. Foremost were thoughts
of the “warm and kind” Branch
Chairman Ann Gormley, as well
as Evelyn Hunter and Shirley
Shoifet, two of a handful of vol-
unteers who read during story
hour. The books themselves
were also credited with develop-
ing a love of reading in the com-
munity, and putting a focus on
the importance of literacy.
Now, Middlebrook is hoping
for more comment.
“We’re open here for every-
body on their thoughts,” she said.
“The more people we hear from
the better.”

Board meeting.
students should have every ad-
vantage and it’s widely believed
that pre-k students do better
throughout their academic ca-
reers.
Pidala closed with a recom-
mendation from the committee
proposing a full-day universal
pre-kindergarten program to
all eligible children, as extensive
research has shown the many
short- and long-term benefits of
a full-day pre-k.
Interim Superintendent of
Schools Laura Mitchell praised
the idea.
“I applaud the Millbrook
Board of Education for its sup-
port of growing its grades K-12
program to include  pre-k,” she
said. “This is an investment in
the district’s future and in the
future of our children. Pre-k
programs build the early foun-
dation needed for kindergarten
success  and beyond. Bravo to
the pre-k team of administra-
tors and teachers for the time
and energy they put into ex-
ploring, researching and pre-
senting this initiative.  We are
putting together a responsible
budget for our taxpayers’ con-
sideration.  We are hoping that
this will be able to include pre-
k. Onward!”
The survey, though still post-
ed online at www.millbrookcsd.
org as of press-time (Tuesday,
March 3), has expired. The BOE
will decide if the district can af-
ford a pre-k program during its
budget vote on Tuesday, April
21. If included in the final bud-
get, the public will have a chance
to give its approval by either
adopting or rejecting the district
budget on Tuesday, May 19.

Of Art Like a Trained Educator
G
ary Steinkohl, who
splits his time be-
tween New York City
and Cornwall, has been an
educator at The Metropol-
itan Museum of Art for 10
years. A highly coveted posi-
tion, educators are selected
from a competitive pool of
applications, screened by
review boards and exten-
sively interviewed before
being offered a chance to
join a year-long intensive ac-
ademic program. Steinkohl
described it as obtaining a
“mini master’s in fine arts.”
In a phone interview with
Compass, we asked Stein-
kohl to describe his three
favorite pieces of art from
the vast collection of work
on display at the museum.
Some of his selections hold
personal value from Stein-
kohl’s training, while others
reflect his insight into The
Met’s ongoing research. It
would seem at The Met,
as in the history of art, the
discovery of a previously
unnoticed detail may be just
around the corner.
KOUROS (YOUTH)
Greek Archaic
marble statue
The first assignment
educators-in-training are
tasked with is mastering
their knowledge of an object
in the museum, randomly
chosen by lottery.
“Literally you stick your
hand into a basket of paper,”
Steinkohl said. “The one I
chose was Kouros, which is
one of the seminal Classi-
cal Greek statues from the
Ancient World, but I never
imagined I would have such
a loving relationship with
the statue’s story.”
To Steinkohl the work
perfectly captures the attri-
butes the Greeks believed
to be most admired by their
pantheon of gods: physical
order, harmony and balance.
“The statue is a represen-
tation of heroic youth and
nudity.” When it came to the
Ancient Greeks, having a
perfect body was indicative
of possessing a perfect mind
and a perfect heart.
