August

Stalking allegations dating back to 2003 ensured this week that the race for the 99th Assembly District would remain as interesting as ever. In Cold Spring, congregants are seeking help with a crumbling steeple. Tragedy struck Kent when a town employee was killed in a motorcycle crash one day after he was married. A Putnam Valley angler thought he might have had a vicious little fish story to tell, but experts weren’t biting. And county officials are finally doing something about a dead-end trailway.
