Local bear sightings:
DEC says it’s not too early
By WHITNEY JOSEPH
editor@millertonnews.com
MILLERTON — According to
Millerton resident Wendy Hill, she’s
been getting some large, burly, and,
well, furry visitors as of late — and
they’re unexpected. At the start of
March, Hill said she started seeing a
black bear (or two) come by her State
Line Road home. Usually, said Hill,
the bears don’t come out until later in
spring.
“This is way too early,” exclaimed
Hill. “He usually comes in May/June.”
But it’s not that unusual for black
bears — which are not true hiberna-
tors — to be out and about early in
the season, according to the New York
State Department of Environmental
Conservation (DEC), especially when
the weather has been as warm as it has.
Even with normal temperatures, black
bears can come out of their dens as
early as March/April.

HARLEM VALLEY — With re-

York City, Westchester County and
now Ulster County and Connecticut,
(COVID-19) is edging closer to home.
School districts throughout the region
have taken precautionary measures to
educate students and their families on
how to minimize their chances of get-
ting sick and spreading the respira-
tory virus, especially now that the flu
season is on the rise. State and county
officials have been working quickly to
provide residents with the latest news
and information, hoping to prevent
the spread of illness.

Pam Dove
LAKEVILLE — Pam Dove ran
down the curtain and joined the
choir invisible on Feb. 27, 2020,
after years of declining health and
just shy of her 28th (or seventh, see
below) wedding anniversary.
Pam was born Ellen Pamela
Hoover on Oct. 29, 1949, in Te-
aneck, N.J., and promptly never
went by her first name again.
Pam was a character with a big
personality. If there was a way to
be different, Pam would find it, to
the endless mortification of her
daughter. Those ways included,
but were not limited to, getting
married to her husband, Gene, on
Leap Day 1992, in a wedding of-
ficiated by her daughter’s future
junior high science teacher, Fred
Romeo; her signature short hair/
tail combo; her love of biker gang-
style clothing; her flying pig tattoo;
and, if we’re being honest, the vol-
ume of her voice.
Pam was incredibly smart and
immensely funny, bestowing nick-
names on most everyone she knew.
She also always stood up for herself
and those she felt needed stick-
ing up for. Good or bad, right or
wrong, you didn’t argue with Pam
without a fight (see “big personal-
ity,” above).
After finishing high school,
Pam attended secretarial school
and was a legal secretary for sev-
eral years.
She held various jobs through-
out her life and treated each one
like it was what she was meant to
do. This included an assignment
that was very special to her: vol-

Developing ‘off-market’ sites suggested
to Tri-Town Coalition housing group
By KAITLIN LYLE

MILLERTON — Having
clearly defined its goals for 2020
at its previous meeting, the Tri-
Town Coalition’s North East-
Millerton Working Group fo-
cused its attention on the five key
tasks for achieving its goals and
reported the progress made so
far at a group meeting on Tues-
day, March 3, in the Millerton
Community Room of Salisbury
Bank & Trust.
As the coalition’s North East-
Millerton, Amenia and Pine
Plains working groups continue
to communicate ideas with one
another, Grace Year Program-
ming Director Abby Nathanson
suggested creating a uniform ma-
trix for the coalition in Google
Form. Along with reporting its
progress, she said the coalition
could use the form to maintain
communication among each of
the three municipalities in the
coalition and with its mem-
bers. Nathanson said the work-
ing groups could use the form
to record planned actions and
deadlines, as well as productivity.
Moving forward with the
group’s first task of selecting
property that can be purchased
and renovated, North East–Mil-

Sam Busselle shared what he
learned from an Amenia semi-
nar on Hudson River Housing’s
(HRH) site review process and
timeline. Led by Javier Gomez,
a staff member in HRH’s Real
Estate Department, Busselle said
Gomez estimated that it takes
between four to 10 months to
accomplish the necessary steps
before purchasing a property. He
recommended the coalition fo-
cus on sites that are “off-market”
and aren’t apt to change hands
soon. Edie Greenwood, vice
chairwoman of the North East
Zoning Board of Appeals, asked
if the timeline would change if
funding were in hand. Busselle
said it might speed up the site
review process.

By JUDITH O’HARA BALFE
judithb@millertonnews.com
MILLBROOK — The Mill-
brook Central School District
Board of Education (BOE) meeting
held on Tuesday, Feb. 25, covered
quite a lot, including a presenta-
tion on the feasibility of offering a
pre-k program in the district (read
last week’s Millerton News for the
full story).
The board approved two in-
voices for a contract with the
Hyde Park Central School District
for Health and Welfare Services
for 2019-2020 in the amount of
$1,947.28 for two children attend-
ing non-public schools in Hyde
Park. The arrangement includes
services provided by doctors, den-
tists, nurses, psychologists, social
workers and speech therapists.
Also approved was the hir-
ing of Richard Madison, speech
therapist, through June 30, 2020;
Kerry Weller, temporary typist;
and Paige Emerson, special edu-
cation data verification specialist.

Data Jam EXPO: Ready, set, go!

judithb@millertonnews.com
MILLBROOK — More than
300 students from five differ-
ent countries are poised to begin
projects for the 2020 Hudson
River Data Jam. This competi-
tion, started in 2014, has become
a highly anticipated event that
emanates locally from the Cary
Institute of Ecosystem Studies. It
is open to all middle school and
high school students.
The Cary Institute wants to
bring together science and art
through the contest, to make sci-
ence more understandable and
interesting to the public. The
projects are expected to creatively
address the environmental stories
of the Hudson Valley.
Projects are judged by a panel
of scientists, educators and artists,
and cash prizes are awarded to the
top projects from middle school
and high school students.
Participants range from grades
six through 12, with the sixth-
graders just beginning to delve
into science and other students
having progressed through sev-
eral science classes such as earth
science or courses involving cli-
mate change. Sometimes, teachers
assign students to participate in
Data Jam, other times, partici-
pants come from groups such as
the Girl Scouts.
Fifteen years goes
by in a flash
We’re pleased to let you know
that the Bank of Millbrook is
now offering a 15-year, fixed-rate
mortgage. It’s a terrific option to
get your house paid off faster at a
secured rate and to save money at
the same time.

What is very clear is that the
Hudson River has long been stud-
ied by scientists involved in ecol-
ogy studies, as well as those who
study estuaries and other water-
ways such as streams, ponds, and,
of course, the Hudson River.
The contest is a part of a
national network of Data Jams
hosted by Long Term Ecological
Data Site, including sites in Bal-
timore, New Mexico and Puerto
Rico. The Cary is not a site, al-
though it participates in the event
each year.
India Futterman, of the Cary
Institute, explained the process.
“Depending on the guidelines
set by their teachers, students
have the freedom to choose what-
ever data sets interest them the
most.”
The data sets are provided by
a variety of sources, including the
Department of Environmental
Conservation (DEC), the United
States Geological Survey (USGS),
the National Oceanic and Atmo-
spheric Administration (NOAA),
and, of course, the scientific ma-
terials amassed by the scientists
at Cary.
The challenge put out by the
Cary Institute aims to encourage
youngsters to learn more about
nature, about the local area and
its ecosystems. The Cary’s diverse
Millbrook campus is ideal for
study, and scientists there have
stipend of $2,372.49.
Assistant Superintendent of
Business and Finance Brian Fried
announced a $25,182,781.91 tax cap

At its meeting on Tuesday, Feb.
11, the BOE approved extended
leave for teacher’s aide Sophia
Koralus to allow her to continue
as senior typist. Also, James Eades
was approved as microcomputer
system specialist.
A gift of $557.23 was accepted
from the Millbrook Educational
Foundation for staff appreciation
and supplies.
The board gave an update on
enrollment. There are 173 stu-
dents at Elm Drive; 198 students
in Alden Place; 215 students at the
middle school; and 290 students
at the high school, for a total of
876 students. There are 194 special
education students and 30 special
placement students (at Cardinal
Hayes and elsewhere).
There are two positions that
will be open on the school board
in this year’s election. For more

In the past, some creative Data
Jam projects have been presented
as skits, paintings, sculptures, ani-
mation, children’s books and a
tiny forest built from laser-cut
cardboard trees. The idea is that
science, in all its forms, is seri-
ous business yet fun to learn.
The creative component of the
contest challenges students to
“translate” their findings data to
wider audiences, presenting them
in a way that may not be done in
their school.
The Hudson Data Jam ad-
vances both the Next Genera-
tion Science Standers (NGSS) and
the New York State P-12 Science
Learning Standards.

this year’s Data Jam was on

ANCRAM — Come Saturday,
March 15, the Ancram Town Board
will be hearing community feed-
back on Central Hudson’s proposal
to replace all 31 streetlights in An-
cram and Ancramdale with light
emitting diodes (LEDs) during a
public hearing at Ancram Town
Hall at 10 a.m..
“We want to get public com-
ments from people who live in the
areas of town where the streetlights
are to make sure they’re comfortable
with the transition and answer any
questions they might have,” said An-
cram town Supervisor Art Bassin.
According to a press release
issued by Bassin this February,
Central Hudson estimates the town
would save 16,000 kilowatt hours
each year by converting all of its
streetlights to LEDs. The new LED
fixtures have an estimated life ex-
pectancy of more than 20 years and
would save the town and its lighting

However, since that modified

of the lights “are such as they’re not
as bright as they used to be.”
Central Hudson has proposed
using Dark Sky Compliant LED
fixtures, which “eliminate upward
light emission toward the sky, re-
duce light trespass to neighboring
properties and are a warm tone of
3,000 Kelvin,” according to Bassin.
Central Hudson would charge
the town around $3,800 to convert
the 31 streetlights. The town would
be able to provide input on the lu-
men, or measure of brightness, and
the output of each streetlight that
hasn’t already been converted to
LED.
“It will probably provide lower
cost streetlights over a long period

vide a better quality of light,” Bassin
stated.
In preparation for the public

CORONAVIRUS Continued from Page A1
ID-19 can spread through small
droplets from the nose or mouth
when an infected individual
coughs or exhales. It can also be
spread by touching objects or
surfaces where these droplets
have landed or by breathing in
the droplets.
Precautionary measures
As of Tuesday, March 10,
there have been 761 cases of
COVID-19 nationwide — 148
of which have surfaced in New
York state — and the numbers
are changing daily, as is the
available information about the
virus.
Based on what is currently
known, the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) has issued guide-
lines for preventing the spread
of any respiratory illnesses, such
as avoiding close contact with
individuals who are sick; stay-
ing home from school or work
when sick; covering any coughs
or sneezes with a tissue; wash-
ing hands often with soap and
water for at least 20 seconds or
by using an alcohol-based hand
sanitizer with at least 60% alco-
hol; and keeping a distance of at
least 6 feet between oneself and
others.
In an update posted on the
Pine Plains Central School Dis-
trict website on Tuesday, March
3, the CDC recommended that
New York state schools suspend
school-sponsored travel pro-
grams in the countries that have
been impacted by COVID-19
so far —including China, South
Korea, Iran, Italy and Japan — as
well as all other countries re-
gardless of whether they’ve been
impacted. Students and faculty
returning from countries that
are currently impacted must be
quarantined up to 14 days fol-

what they regularly eat during
the spring because it’s too early in
the season, the DEC warns “there
may be an unusually high num-
ber of conflicts this spring and
early summer.”
To prevent any human/bear
conflicts, the DEC advises taking
down bird feeders and storing
garbage where bears can’t access
it. Use electric fencing to protect
livestock, as well as beehives. Us-
ing devices that make loud noises
can also help keep bears at bay.
Merchant said, “The best thing
to do when encountering a bear
is to stand your ground, stay fac-

can and speak loudly and firmly.
If the bear doesn’t leave, back
away slowly.”

Many people have tried to
reduce their chances of infec-
tion by purchasing face masks
to cover their noses and mouths.
Apart from individuals showing
symptoms of COVID-19, health-
care workers or anyone taking
care of individuals in a close
setting, the CDC doesn’t recom-
mend wearing masks.
“Theoretically, it may give
them a false sense of security,
which is harmful,” Dr. Mark
Marshall, vice president of med-
ical affairs at Sharon Hospital in
Sharon, Conn., explained, add-
ing it could lead to people touch-
ing their faces more often or not
washing their hands as often as
they should. “They’re not gener-
ally useful for protecting your-
self. We use them as healthcare
workers when we’re exposing
ourselves to a patient who’s ex-
periencing a respiratory illness
or we put it on a patient that has
a respiratory illness, but the gen-
eral public does not benefit from
wearing the masks.”
Sharon Hospital, which
serves a vast number of Harlem
Valley residents, is prepared for
a potential outbreak, said Mar-
shall. He said its staff and de-
partments have been running
practice drills in its emergency
department, maternity ward and
in-patient unit. The doctor add-
ed that the hospital has focused
on ensuring its workers know
how to properly put on and re-
move protective equipment,
how to place patients with CO-
VID-19 symptoms in an appro-
priate setting for treatment and
other standard infection control

The issue of vermiculite comes up frequently
in building inspections, most commonly
in older homes. One of the many uses of
vermiculite was for insulation purposes. The
homeowner or a contractor usually poured
it into the attic as loose fill and in walls. Most
vermiculite in the United States was mined
in Libby, Mont., which through the mining
process allowed asbestos to be introduced to
the vermiculite ore. A common question is:
when vermiculite is found in an inspection,
should it be tested? The answer, per the CT
DPH and the EPA, is no; they consider that
all vermiculite contains asbestos. If the
attic is not used for storage, openings to
the living space should be sealed. If used for
storage or human use, it should be removed.
Any renovation work that will disturb the
vermiculite would require that the material
be abated prior to renovation. A licensed
professional like Rob Rein (203 917-0282)
or John Hebert (860 675-6968) should be
called for evaluation and removal. For more
information on vermiculite, please visit this

measures, such as good hand
washing. The hospital has had
multiple daily teleconferences
with its system to ensure all
personnel and departments are
prepared and are following the
guidelines issued by the CDC
and the Connecticut Health De-
partment.
“We just have to be prepared,”
Marshall said. “The expectation
is it will spread and it’s not un-
likely that we’ll see cases.”
School districts
Also following CDC guide-
lines to the letter, school dis-
tricts across the Harlem Valley
have been keeping students and
families updated on the latest
news about COVID-19.
“This is a matter that is
changing daily if not hourly,”
said Pine Plains Superintendent
of Schools Martin Handler.
To make matters worse, the
spread of COVID-19 is aligning
with what Webutuck Superin-
tendent of Schools Raymond
Castellani called “a very difficult
flu season.”
In his letter to Webutuck
families on Thursday, March
5, Castellani reported that
Dutchess County superinten-
dents met with the Dutchess
County Health Commissioner
Anil Vaidian and his team for
guidance on how to lessen the
chances of getting, and spread-
ing, the virus.
The Webutuck, Pine Plains
and Millbrook districts have all
posted letters on their websites
outlining their approach, as well
as the New York State Depart-
ment of Health’s recommenda-
tions for staying healthy.
In addition to making sure
custodial staff pay extra atten-
tion to cleaning “surfaces of stu-
dent contact” on a nightly basis,
the three districts have instruct-
ed their school nurses to careful-

As of press time on Tuesday,
March 10, there have not been
any cases of COVID-19 report-
ed in Dutchess County. To try
to keep it that way, the county,
along with local municipalities
and the state, is trying to be pro-
active. The most current facts
about COVID-19 can be found
online, at www.dutchessny.gov/

A full list of voting dates and

Dutchess County Board of Elec-

Inviting anyone interested
in canvassing for the 2020 elec-
tions, NEDC volunteer Jennifer
Hand said that while it might
seem intimidating to someone
who has never canvassed be-
fore, she guaranteed newcomers
would be paired with an experi-
enced canvasser.
“You’re also doing a tremen-
dous service for our Democratic
candidates,” Hand added, “be-
cause canvassing is the most ef-
fective way of getting people to
the polls.”
Excited to start canvassing
this summer, Hand outlined her
two main goals: to tighten up the
voter list for the local region and
to educate voters about early
voting. She encouraged anyone
interested in canvassing to con-
tact Dowley so that she could
put them in touch with Hand.
Since Yvette Rogers, a repre-
sentative from Delgado’s office,

Campaigning for the State

The New York State Association
of Counties (NYSAC) has also
launched an online resource,
www.nysac.org/health, to pro-
vide county health departments
with information to assist them
in combating COVID-19.
“While there have not yet been
any reported cases in Dutchess
County, it would be unrealistic
to believe we are somehow too
remote or too rural for the virus
to pop up here, and it is always
better to be prepared,” North
East town Supervisor Christo-
pher Kennan wrote in an email
to town leaders, business own-
ers and residents earlier this
month. “And it is important to
stay informed as to what is actu-
ally going on, and to avoid the
spread of misinformation.”
On Tuesday, March 3,
Dutchess County Executive
Marc Molinaro led a county-
and worked for her election.
“We need to keep pushing
forward and to make real prog-
ress takes more effort than I
think we even realize,” Smythe
said. “We have an extraordinary
district… We need to be respect-
ing everyone and their point of
view.
“It’s about making sure
people understand what their
choice is so they can go out and
make that choice,” she contin-
ued. “I want to be a strong can-
didate to represent you and your
needs.”
North East resident Bill Kish
posed a question about what
Smythe might do to protect the
community from the impact of
the Cricket Valley Energy Cen-
ter in Dover and whether she
would stand up to the New York
state government. Already well
aware of the facts surrounding
Cricket Valley, Smythe replied
that she’d be “perfectly happy to
stand up to the governor.”
Others in the audience posed
questions related to the envi-
ronmental, safety and health

Community Health (DCDBCH)
and the Dutchess County De-
partment of Emergency Ser-
vices about the county’s efforts
to monitor the COVID-19 virus
and implement protocols for in-
dividuals who may contract it.
The DCDBCH reported its ef-
forts to constantly monitor the
situation and to “adjust strate-
gies as disease in community
evolve” as well as to work with
the county’s municipalities, pub-
lic school districts, colleges and
healthcare facilities for preven-
tion and mitigation.
Above all, Molinaro’s office
reported that if a confirmed case
of COVID-19 should arise in the
county, the Dutchess County
government will issue an official

ties.

asked Smythe how she would
deal with those ongoing issues.
Smythe promised to focus on
ensuring that every dollar in the
state goes toward renewable en-
ergy. Questions about Smythe’s
stance on the recent bail reform
law were also raised.
Running for her fifth full
term, State Assemblymember
Barrett acknowledged that elec-
tions are a challenge, given the
various attitudes surrounding
President Donald Trump and
what’s currently taking place in
the White House.
“It is a very serious and im-
portant time,” Barrett said, em-
phasizing that all votes matter.
Barrett spoke about her work
as chair of the Committee on
Veterans’ Affairs and as a mem-
ber on the Committee on Men-
tal Health and the Committee on
Agriculture. After highlighting
some initiatives currently in the
works, she answered questions
about her stance on Medicaid,
school taxes, affordable housing
and voting reform.

“Oldboy” (which won the

of favorite films. But more
than just provocative, “Old-

niously shot and beautifully
scored.
Park’s films are like noth-

style. Every single shot is in-

set pieces and a meticulous
attention to composition.

more acclaim for, which are
the complete opposite of his
other work: subversive in
their tranquility.
The most famous of these
quieter films is “3-Iron,” about
a young man who breaks into
and lives in empty apart-
ments while their owners are
on vacation. Things change
when he breaks into a house
where he is watched by the
wife of the homeowner — a
domestic abuse victim so
silent he doesn’t realize she’s
there at first. An unlikely love
story unfolds.
In the minimalist and
often silent world of “3-Iron,”
every touch and every move-
ment of the eyes becomes
significant— an ambiguous
glimpse into the complex
emotional world of two lost
souls.
LEE CHANG-DONG
Lee Chang-dong is
probably the South Korean
director most similar tonally
to Bong Joon-ho. His films
are political but personal
and dip between hyper-re-
alism and expressionism.
When Lee made his first
feature film he was already a
celebrated novelist in South
Korea and had served as the
country’s minister of culture.
His most recent film,
“Burning,” is a psychological
thriller based on a short sto-
ry by Japanese author Haruki
Murakami. Very loosely, it’s
a story about a mysterious
and wealthy playboy whose
hobby is burning down
greenhouses.
“Burning” unveils slowly,
like a long-burning fuse.
Every scene is so layered
