Mourning would-be getaways

Posted

Hello, hope you are all enjoying your summer and being safe. I was so excited because my brother and I were set to go on a small vacation to Cape May, NJ for a few days. My sister rented a house there for two weeks. But between both of our work schedules, it’s a no go. In October, I was supposed to go to Greece, but that one was also canceled. I would be very happy to go to Queens and visit my family, but that’s not going to happen for awhile.

 Cochecton has a new business at Fosterdale’s four corners called Linda’s Country Corner. The owner is Linda Fratello. It’s a quaint store that sells local syrup, honey, artwork and jewelry. There is a back room that has vintage and new handbags, clothes, shoes and a men’s section. The store is inviting and everything is priced reasonably. Her hours are Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or by appointment during the week. Linda also has the Antique Barn across the road. Please check her out or like her on Facebook.

The town of Cochecton 2020 Summer Clean Up will be Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16 from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Items may be brought to the Old Cochecton Town Hall located at 116 CR 116, Lake Huntington for Cochecton residents only. Items that will be accepted are household junk, cleaned out paint cans, furniture, mattresses and carpets. If you are bringing iron pipes, they must be cut into four-foot lengths. Drums and tanks must be cleaned out open and ready to be crushed. No yard waste, leaves, stumps, roots or rocks. No propane tanks, household garbage, or commercial waste of any kind. No computers, monitors, fluorescent bulbs or lamps. The town is taking four car or truck tires at no cost; the cost is $3 for any tire after that. No oversize tires are allowed.

I would like to congratulate Garnet Health Medical Center-Catskills Grover Hermann Hospital for being named as a top-20 Critical Access Hospital. Our little hospital sure is special.

Did you fill out your 2020 Census? Go online; it’s quick and easy. The 2020 Census questionnaire will take about 10 minutes to complete. It’s safe, secure and confidential.

We got a new mascot for the town hall. I have not met him yet, but he is a little cutie. He is a 10-week-old Jack Russell terrier named TJ.

Keep smiling and have a great week. You can email me at leeniebeans@citlink.net or call 845/252-3568 if you have any news. My new deadline is Friday.
