On June 13, at 1PM, there will be a Lecture on the Lawn presented by Turning Point 1777. Local historians Jeff and Pam O'Connor from Turning point 1777 will present their flag program on the lawn of Schoharie’s Lasell Hall. The first part of the presentation will run through the evolution of the American flag – all the parts that first made up the British colors, then how the American flag developed from that, as well as a narrative about the real Betsy Ross . The second part will describe the history and myths associated with fairly well known Revolutionary War flags, plus a few non-Rev War that are relevant. Featured is a Liberty flag reproduction based on the one that flew in Schenectady and the remnants of which are in the Schenectady Historical Society Museum. Please bring a lawn chair. Covid regulations will be enforced.
At 2PM the same day, Schoharie Chapter NSDAR will also host a BBQ fundraiser until all are sold. Chicken and Ribs provided by BBQ Delights, and the sides provided by Beef and Brew. Halves and ribs are $9.00, dinners are $13.00. There are no preorders and no seating will be available onsite.

On June 2, 2021, the New York State Police in Cobleskill arrested 37-year-old Liam M. O’Connor of Richmondville, for Assault 2nd degree (D felony), Driving While Intoxicated (misdemeanor), Obstruction of Governmental Administration 2nd degree (A misdemeanor), and Resisting Arrest (A misdemeanor).
At approximately 8:46 p.m. on Wednesday, state police responded to a one-car motor vehicle accident at the intersection of State Route 165 and State Route 10 in the town of Seward. On scene investigation determined that O’Connor had been traveling east on State Route 165 in 2007 Nissan Pathfinder, when he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of State Route 10 and collided with a guiderail on the eastern shoulder. His vehicle then continued into a pasture where he struck a livestock fence. Speed is believed to have been a factor in the crash.
While speaking with O’Connor, the responding Trooper could smell the odor of alcohol on his breath and observed signs of impairment. While being treated by EMS, O’Connor became combative and is accused of attacking members of the EMS and fire crew that had arrived to assist him. O’Connor violently resisted arrest and attempted to kick a Schoharie County Sheriff’s Deputy and firefighters when they assisted in putting O’Connor in a patrol car for transport to SP Cobleskill.
Once at the station, O’Connor was administered the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which he failed. He provided a breath sample of .14% B.A.C.
O’Connor was arraigned in Seward Town Court and remanded to Schoharie County Jail. He is due back in court on a later date.
When the WIC program is mentioned, many people automatically think formula and milk. Did you know the WIC foods offered are much more diverse? In addition to formula and milk, WIC offers infant foods, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and much more. WIC has two exciting opportunities in regards to fruits and vegetables this summer.
First, the Farmers Market Nutrition Program has begun for 2021. From now through September, each eligible WIC participant can receive twenty dollars in coupons to use at local farmers markets and farm stands. It’s a wonderful chance to buy farm fresh, locally grown produce and support local businesses at the same time. A list of participating farms will be provided when you pick up the coupons, and you will have until the end of November to redeem the coupons.
Second, starting this month, WIC is also offering a temporary increase in the cash value benefit for fruits and vegetables. What was $9 for children and $11 for women will now be temporarily increased to $35. This benefit offers WIC participants a chance to buy a larger amount of fresh, frozen or canned produce from the grocery store.
These 2 benefits are only for eligible WIC participants. WIC is currently offering telephone appointments. For more information, please call Catholic Charities of Columbia and Greene Counties WIC program. For the Hudson office, the phone number is 518-828-9668. For the Catskill office, the phone number is 518-943-9082.

Howard Kipnes, president of Cedar Knolls, a custom homebuilder located in Ronkonkoma, explains that his company specializes in modular homes on the East End. These, he says, can be built faster – typically in half the time of traditional construction – with superior, consistent quality control inside a factory. They exceed energy efficiency standards and most are priced less than stick-built homes.
“There’s little that we can’t do in modular today,” he says. “We’re doing more custom work. Features such as screened-in patios, second floor decks and balconies and smart home integration are becoming more common. With the coronavirus, more people have relocated out east. We are designing more private spaces, home offices, bedrooms with ensuite baths and children’s play and study areas.”
Great rooms and other large open gathering spaces were better suited to weekenders, Kipnes says, but people staying for extended periods want more individual space.
“We do complete turnkey construction – including architectural plans and permit expediting,” he says. “Buyers a year ago wanted something immediately, but now that they’re more committed to staying out here full time they’re willing to wait for a new custom home. We can build any features available into the house: the latest green features, smart home wiring and automation. Cameras, Wi-Fi-enabled locks and other security devices are very popular.” Every home Kipnes builds is a custom job – clients don’t have to pick a particular model.
Many favor two-story homes. Modern farmhouse designs are particularly popular now. His homes typically range from 1,000 to more than 4,000 square feet. More land is currently available on the North Fork and in the town of East Hampton, he adds.
