- AROUND TOWN -
Yes, we have a few pictures of the snow that followed a bit of freezing rain this morning. But we also decided to flip through the archives for something cheerier from Aprils past.
Then, on April 9, 2007 was the Lighting Ceremony of the new poles. While we started to pull pictures and excerpts in order to supply a "blurb," but really the story isn't complete without all included.
A somewhat shivery but congenial crowd gathered in the Green Acress Plaza parkinglot at seven, last evening, for the official lighting ceremony and listened as Mayor Younes greeted everyone, introduced Richard S. Woodman, Esquire, New York State Senator David J. Valesky and thanked previous mayors and village boards, members of the Main Street Committee - especially Dale Mesler, who had drawn out the technical plans for the lighting at no cost to the municipality - and the DOT for installing the lamp bases and conduits free of charge.
Dale was on a business trip, but sent me a letter to read in which he reminisced about the "several years'" work put into the entire enhancement project, thanking - again - Mayor Nora Keating for leading the way and then Mayor Younes for continuing to support the Committee's efforts. He also wrote:
".....we all need to thank the offices of Almy & Associates Consulting Engineers and Mr. Gary Siver for providing, at no charge, all of the engineering and bidding documents for the project. Thanks to Mike Lentz of Weydmen Electric for performing the fine installation during the coldest months of the year. We also should recognize all the members of the Main Street Committee who over the past several years had to put up with me. Our chairperson, Mrs. Liz Kane, along with Lou Langone, Mabel Bushee, Cathy Murphy, Flip Brown, Jennifer Dapson and Bill Specht. “Thank You!” to Nora Keating for leading the way and to Jim Younes for continuing to support this project. We especially need to thank Senator Dave Valesky and the Edward S. Barton Trust for their generous financial support."
As it grew dark, I drove through the village a few times, too excited to come to a full stop and make sure that my camera was absolutely still.
