WINDHAM - It isn’t a done deal until it is, but the Republican Party put a stamp of solidarity on the upcoming elections in the town of Windham during their political caucus, last Friday evening.

Six positions are open including town supervisor, town justice, highway superintendent, two seats on the town council and tax collector.

Thomas Hoyt is the current town supervisor, being re-nominated by Tom Jakubowski who said, “first we should thank him for his service, commitment and good works. 

“It’s a job that takes a lot more work than most people realize. I am amazed anyones wants to do the job.”

Having said that, Jakubowski highlighted a few accomplishments in Hoyt’s 6-year tenure, such as creating a modern ambulance headquarters that also houses a senior citizens center.

The town, under Hoyt’s leadership, secured $825,000 in grants to help finance the facility, Jakubowski noted.

Other improvements include working with the Windham Foundation to find a new location for little league fields and getting a $25,000 grant to pave vehicular and playing surfaces at C.D. Lane Park.

The town has shifted the police department to a more professional location within the municipal hall and Hoyt worked with the Department of Environmental Protection to expand the Windham Path.

Marilyn Carreras was nominated for the position of town justice by Annie Jakubowski, seeking a 4-year term after being appointed in December, 2024, to replace Justice Carol Stevens, who retired mid-term.

Listing Carreras’s experiences in federal and New York State criminal law while establishing a successful legal practice in Windham over the past 37 years, Jakubowski said, “Marilyn has a passion for law that is unsurpassed.

“She lights up when talking about the United States Constitution in which she is well versed,” Jakubowski said. “I believe Marilyn to be a fair and just person and well qualified for the position of town justice.”

Robert “BJ” Murray was nominated for highway superintendent by current roads chief Gary Thorington who has announced his retirement after 30-plus years with the department.

“Being a highway superintendent takes hard work, dedication and sacrifice. It also takes the will to never give up or be a quitter,” Thorington said.

“Your highway superintendent needs to have knowledge in road construction and pavement preservation, be fiscally responsible and most of all, be honest.  

“I’ve known this man his whole life. I take pride in nominating Robert “BJ” Murray for town of Windham superintendent of highways,” Thorington said.

BJ Murray, following the caucus, noted he has worked for many years with local KPK Paving, becoming professionally adept with “highways and driveways,” also serving in a supervisory capacity.

A pair of incumbents, Wayne Van Valin and Ian Peters, were re-selected to return to their respective town council seats.

Van Valin has been on the board for 25 years, following in the public service footsteps of his father. He too is the deputy supervisor.

Peters serves as liaison between the town and Greene County Emergency Medical Services, providing vital information and input in a time of significant change within the industry.

Katherine Murray was nominated by her husband, Donald Murray, who said “I’ve known her forty-five years. She never misses a deadline.” She also operates the only female-owned CPA office in Greene County.

Donald Murray, a former town councilman, will also be on the newly-chosen Committee to Fill Vacancies, should a candidate withdraw from the race, joined by Albin Beckmann and Marc Farmilette.

Karl Gonzalez returned in his role as presiding officer for the caucus which was tightly-scripted, emerging from GOP committee meetings with the names of persons making nominations and seconds for candidates.

Anyone could have been nominated from the floor without prior committee blessings. but no other names were offered.

There was speculation a candidate might be nominated for the highway superintendent’s slot, a person who had been nominated in the past and was in the room on caucus night, but no nomination was put forth.

The caucus lasted less than half-an-hour. Gonzalez began by requesting a respectful Moment of Silence, “for those in the Armed Forces and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Gonzalez ended by saying, “thank you doing your American duty,” taking part in the electoral process.

One Small Step for Little League in Windham

By Michael Ryan

WINDHAM - It isn’t quite time to play itty-bitty ball, but the ball has started rolling toward the creation of new little league fields in Windham.

Town supervisor Thomas Hoyt, during a recent council meeting, announced that the Windham Foundation will soon begin the official process of subdividing 34-plus acres of land for use in the project.

The property was purchased by the Foundation, last year, on the outskirts of the hamlet of Hensonville, specifically for future community-shared recreational and civic opportunities.

A pair of little league fields are part of that vision, hopefully breaking ground this fall or next spring, giving mountaintop ballplayers a new home.

Between then and now, the Foundation will commence the required planning board process to set aside 7.2 acres for that purpose.

Nothing has been blueprinted in terms of the playing fields that will replace the current pint-sized stadium along South Street or the remaining lands.

In the meantime, registration has taken place for the upcoming baseball season with Opening Day ceremonies expected to unfold in May.

“There was a good turnout for the registration,” Hoyt said, noting the town will supply baseballs and provide maintenance, as usual, joined by the Knights of the Road with their customary financial support.

Little leaguers and t-ballers come to Windham from multiple towns on the mountaintop, continuing a generational tradition.

The Foundation, announcing the land purchase last year, stated, “the multi-use activity that will evolve at the site in the coming years, will likely spur continued growth in and around Hensonville, which has benefitted from significant recent entrepreneurial and residential investment.”

In other matters:

—Highway superintendent Gary Thorington, in his regular report to council members, said the LED bulb replacement job at the highway garage has been very successfully completed.

It took some extra doing, after additional bulbs had to be requisitioned, but the town will “still save a ton of money on electrical use,” Thorington said.

The roads chief brought a light-hearted moment to his report, explaining why more bulbs than initially planned had to be purchased.

“That’s on me. I made a mistake,” Thorington said. “I had already given the electrician an estimate on how many fixtures there were and how many bulbs we’d need but forgot to count a few.”

The town initially intended to do an overhaul of the existing fixtures, later determining it was overly labor-intensive and costly to do so, deciding instead to modify them.

“We switched gears, and I forgot the ones in an upstairs room which meant we needed another 96 bulbs,” Thorington said.

That ran the total to 350 bulbs throughout the shop, resulting in a heavenly impressive illumination. “It’s totally amazing,” Thorington said.

“Fluorescent bulbs are a thing of the past, You can’t buy them anymore. We had so many blown bulbs it was getting hard to see.

“Now, we can throw half the switches and there’s so much more light. It didn’t make me any brighter but the shop definitely is,” Thorington said.

A portion of the cost for the job will be picked up by NYSEG with the town absorbing the rest. “This will pay for itself in no time,” Thorington said.

Converting to LED on Main Street some years ago has also proven wise in terms of dollars saved in electrical efficiency and bulbs not burnt.

The local public library has likewise happily changed over. Any still useful fluorescent lights will be stored for replacements in municipal locations continuing to operate old-school, Hoyt said.

Thorington further reported the hiring of a new employee, with the department down two workers, bringing in Robert Murray.

—Council members scheduled a public hearing on a “local law for providing written notification of defects and obstructions on town highways, bridges, streets, sidewalks, crosswalks and culverts” within the town.

The update on existing regulations was recommended by the town’s insurer, related to potential civil actions brought against the town.

Government leaders will next meet on April 10, with the public hearing slated to get underway at 6:50 p.m.

Ashland Speaks

By Lula Anderson

April first.  Fishing season starts, the weather is still changeable, but we are getting so many signs that the warm weather is on its way.  We have been able to open windows more now, some nights we were able to sleep with them open, listening to the spring night sounds.  The peepers are out, pussy willows are in fuzz, I hear robins calling outside my window in the morning, and the geese are looking for nesting grounds.  My daffodils have started to bud and I watch the lilac trees starting to bud.  I hope they don't go too fast, remember the year that they were budding out and we had a very deep freeze.  I worry about them when I hear the WRIP weather announcing overnight temperatures in the teens.  To everything there is a season.

Thanks to Patti Lawyer, I had a great day on Thursday.  Patti took me to Home Sweet Home to visit with Leona Knox and Lola German.  It was nice getting a ride and visiting with old, good, friends.  

Jack Gates and his daughter, Brenda, spent the week with me.  They went out to visit Joan several times, along with visiting with friends in the area.  They called and said they made it safely back to North Carolina.

The Ashland Community Church had a good turnout on the Mountain Top Parish Fifth Sunday gathering .  Fifty members joined us for the community worship service.  It's nice to have all the churches get together .

With the warmer weather, many are starting their spring cleaning.  When it's nice outside, we see people cleaning their yards, removing the branches and limbs that have been blown off the trees, raking up the sand and hillocks left behind by the plows.  My  winter "couch blankets" are washed, and replaced by lighter weight ones.  At night we still need something while watching TV, just not as heavy.  I want to take my winter blankets off my bed, but it's way too soon.  

Prayers and get well wishes to Lois Banks, Sandy Kiley, Joy Maglie, Ginny Gurley and Janice Maben.  

AS I REMEMBER IT

I recently told you that I heard Scott Tuttle is giving up the ghost:  Milking cows.  I can't blame him as it seems that farmers are on the bottom of the list these days.  I guess it would be a few years before his daughter would take over the farm, and It's gotten too much for him.  People go by and see his equipment and think how well he's doing if he can afford all that.  They don't realize the work it takes to be a farmer, and the equipment is to replace the farm hands that were always available.  

I grew up on a little farm, only 200 acres.  The day began just before the sun rose, 5 or 5:30, depending on the time of the year.  Animals don't know Daylight Savings time, or standard time, they only know when the sun rises it's time for someone to come and take care of them.  I don't know of any farm that didn't have at least one live-in apprentice from the Cooperative Extension, for a week or two, or a month or two, during the summer to help out with summer chores which were always more than winter ones.  Milking or not, planting or not, there was always something to do on a farm.  Everyone had a big family and each member was required to do his share, no matter the age.  The younger ones took care of the chickens and weeding the garden.  The older helped in the barn and the haylot.  Summer vacation meant no school, but we still had chores to do.We learned how to do things by ourselves and how to fix things.  We learned to fix the equipment and how to keep it running.  

If a farmer had to present a resume for the job, it would include plumber, carpenter, auto mechanic, everything about water and soil conservation, animal husbandry, sales and budget, you name it, we did it, and not a lot of compensation.  As children, we never complained about being bored because we would ge another job added.  We learned to do our work quickly so we could get the afternoon off to swim and play.  Looking back, I realize I had the world in the palm of my hands.  I feel sorry for the kids today that can't find anything to do, so play with their phones and don't take the time to look at nature and appreciate it.

Outdoors with Larry DiDonato - Greene County Welcomes a New ECO

Greene County's newest ECO, Darren Milliron, (right), began his assignment in our county last month. His first order of business was to introduce himself to area sportsmen at their county-wide meeting. He displayed his support when Green County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs President, Hank Coons, (left) accepted a $500.00 donation from NYSCOPBA for the 2025 Youth Pheasant Hunt. Correction Officer Kurt Plank, (center), presented the check from his union alongside his law enforcement colleague.

At the March meeting of the Greene County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, NYS ECO Darren Milliron introduced himself as Greene County’s newest conservation officer. The meeting was well attended as Federation President, Hank Coons and the rest of the board and membership welcomed their new ECO. 

 ECO Milliron, a five-year veteran of the force who spent the first leg of his career in New York City, transferred to the county in mid-March. He is a self-described hunter and fishermen, who plans to focus a bit more on hunting now that he’s no longer confined to city environs and happily upstate in the country. He’s already bought a home and is quickly settling in. 

 ECO Milliron explained he focused chiefly upon fisheries enforcement during his assignment in the five boroughs. The New York Bight is rich in abundance with all manner of valuable fish species such as striped bass, blackfish, black sea bass, in addition to lobsters and hard clams which are frequently harvested illegally. That target rich environment led to many arrests by ECO Milliron involving the illegal commercialization of our marine resources. 

 Darren Milliron replaces ECO Jason Smith who recently transferred from Greene to Saratoga County. You may remember ECO Smith as the hard-working, dedicated officer who reliably assisted whenever called upon, especially when helping out with the annual Youth Pheasant Hunt, Youth Turkey Hunt, and Catskill Central School District Fishing Days. He was active in poaching enforcement and among the Greene County ECOs who helped bring to justice three Earlton men convicted in a prolific deer jacking case a few years back. We thank ECO Jason Smith for his contributions to Greene County and wish him all the best with his new assignment up in Region 5.

 Officer Milliron joins veteran ECO Lucas Palmateer, comprising the two ECOs assigned to Greene County. At one time three ECOs were assigned to the county, but that has not been the case for many years. Their supervisor, Lt. Anthony Glorioso also resides in Greene County, but currently supervises ECOs in Delaware, Greene, Columbia, and Rensselaer Counties. This overly expansive supervisory coverage is due to the two current vacant ECO lieutenant posts in the nine counties comprising Region 4. DEC’s Division of Law Enforcement is currently seeking to fill those two vacant lieutenant items which will lessen the burden of supervision throughout the region as they are in the process of filling ECO vacancies throughout the state.

 So, please join me in welcoming ECO Darren Milliron to Greene County. Let’s give him a helping hand whenever possible to ensure the protection of our fish, wildlife, and natural resources for future generations.

The Prattsville Scoop

By Abby and Gabby

PRATTSVILLE – Wish to thank our veterans and active military for their service to Our Country. Thanks and appreciation go out to all our Firemen, volunteer or paid, EMTs, early responders, and all those who put others first in times of need.

Reminder for Maple brunch, Sunday, April 13, 10 AM to 1 PM at the West Kill/Lexington Community Hall in West Kill. This will benefit the West Kill/Lexington Community Improvement Association. It is a win/win situation – all you can eat of the best of mountaintop hometown cooking and the Association can continue the upkeep of their facility for the use of many dinners, fairs, etc. etc. Tickets will be sold at the door – cash – check – credit card. The added benefit is you get to enjoy conversations with friends and acquaintances you haven’t visited with since the last brunch or dinner or show of some sort at the Hall.

Please take note of the Easter Egg Hunt notices now being put up and featured in publications. The American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327, in partnership with Beth Camna of the Prattsville Dinner and her family and friends, will have a kick off Easter Egg Hunt at Youngs’ Ace Hardware in Prattsville, beginning at 11 AM with three age groups searching for eggs in separate groups to give all ages equal opportunity to find their share of eggs. Then it will be on to the Prattsville Town Green where Beth and all will have more eggs to find, treats, food, and activities, etc. etc. Many participants are in costumes and travelers stop their cars to get out and take pictures. How sweet is that? Of course we have our own full size Easter Bunny who always finds his way to Prattsville for our Easter Egg Hunt. Easter Bunny: you are hereby sent your own personal invitation to visit Prattsville and all the children on April 19. You are famous! The plastic eggs and candy have been purchased, thanks to Auxiliary members Marianne Krauss, Nancy Kizyma and Ginny Gurley, and the eggs are just awaiting busy fingers to be stuffed with the goodies. All are welcome so hop on over. There will be a special “Golden Egg” hidden for each age group.

Good to see Suzette Donisan out on her own again. Seems she just can’t get a sound footing under her. Once she was over sprained bones and pulled muscles, she had a bout with some really hot water on her feet. She mentioned some acrobatic moves she went through with all these happenings but they are hard to believe. Keep those feet on the ground and out of hot water. All in all, Suzette looks great.

Elliott and Shelly Brainard had the last on their pine scrawny pine trees removed. Although they survived our constant high winds over the past few months, they thought they were too close to the neighbors’ home and had them cut down. And a very good job was done by local contractor. Their son Adam then removed all the detritus so the lawns would be ready for the first mowing. Speaking of lawns, what animal would dig divot type holes in your lawn? Skunks looking for grubs, earthworms, beetles? Seems this is happening around less than healthy grass growths – brown grass.

Happy Birthday to Bobby Gurley on April 8. On April 11 it is Happy Birthday to Crystal Soule Cornell and Gabriella Ramundo, daughter of Erica and Matthew Ramundo. Is Gabriella still enamored with chickens?

Traditionally Speaking…by Pat Larsen - Honoring the Spring Traditions

How I love a good Easter Egg hunt with the kiddos.

No matter the age of our little ones, we get those plastic eggs filled with treats, loose change and fun little gifts and we hide them in high and low places either outside around the yard or if it’s raining, inside  where you’d never look. BUT the kids  always knew just where to find them no matter what. Maybe, one day, we might even count how many of these eggs that we hid beforehand.

Hasn’t happened yet…but who knows.

Decorating Easter eggs has definitely got to be among my most precious memories for this time of year.

Symbolizing new life, growth, the resurrection, and the strength that comes from our families that represents hope are among my favorite concepts to embrace even now as an adult. 

As a child of the 50’s, I have to be sure to include the Easter bonnets that we wore at this time of year as one of my most precious memories.

I’m sure I’ll be triggering many conversations here.

My Mom would make each and every one of her four daughters a dress for Easter Sunday and then adorn a straw bonnet to match each outfit. The photos are pretty impressive. I never wanted to take my bonnet off.

But that’s what comes from being the oldest in the family. Oh, I just thought of those sweet little half gloves made from lace that adorned our hands as well.

Classy times back then.

Then there was the food…So what will it be in your household this year?  Maybe a Lamb roast or an Easter ham or a combination of the traditional pies like the ones Grandma used to make ahead. In the true spirit of our Italian household and for the full week ahead of Easter Sunday, we all were focused on the specialty pies that made up our tables for this holiday. I decided one year, early in my married life, to make the braided egg bread for the family. The smiles on the faces of my aunties and my grams were priceless. The truth is, I had a long way to go before I was even close to what my elders were able to create but they never let on.

My bread got better with time. And now my granddaughters are taking up this tradition. They’re already ahead of my original efforts.

Chocolates and marshmallow peeps were among my favorites to adorn my Easter Basket. I’m somewhat of a grown up at this point but I still expect a basket every Spring to adorn my table. If I need to, I make my own. After all, it’s a long time between Spring and the three other seasons that we have to endure.

The shift, especially this year, as the ground thaws and the daffodils push through, there seems to be a renewed excitement for all things traditionally Spring.

Perhaps the cost at the grocers for greens and eggs will drive the local market to reach new heights.

We’re already planning out our garden to include the items that we can dry and freeze and of course to use fresh as the season progresses.

We’re definitely hoping our adventurous neighbor who raises chickens will be back at it again this Spring.

There, honestly, is nothing like the color of the yolk of a freshly hatched and well fed chicken.

There’s just so much to honor this Spring. Whether it’s new traditions that we begin or older concepts that make a renewed appearance in our lives.

It’s an especially lovely time of year to celebrate.
