5-5-11: thank you weekenders, oliver north was from Columbia County?, voodoo charges dismissed for now

Cinco de Mayo. Hurray.

Florence Fabricant in The New York Times writes an article on Chatham Sheep Herding Company. I got this link from WGXC, first stop for Columbia County News.

Weekenders: thank you for choosing Columbia County for your elbow room needs.

"While the county now has 32,775 housing units, only 25,906 are occupied year-round. The remaining 6,869 unoccupied homes are either empty or are weekend or vacation residences. That’s an increase of more than 26 percent in this category of housing since the 2000 census count of 5,411. There were 3,419 weekend homes in 2000, while the 2010 numbers are not yet available."

Here is my article on systematic local ethics enforcement breakdown in New York State.

Fire parade.

"The Hudson Department of Fire will hold its "156th Annual Inspection & Parade" this weekend in the city. First held in 1856, the parade is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, annual fire department parades in the United States. The four companies of the Hudson Department of Fire along with ten guest companies will participate."

Nice website, Hudson Fire Department.

The Tin Boat Association suit goes to appeal.

Charges dismissed in one of my three case. One down, two to go.

Do Not Miss This Great Event! I will be there and it was a BALL last year and it is for a very good cause.

Early history, local. Cool website.

Speaking of local history, what is this?

Oliver North is from Columbia County? Yes. Grew up in Philmont. We can all be.. proud... that he didn't go into local politics.

Adam Sagendorf was 14 in 1860.
