John Mason in the Register-Star reports that Copake firefighters put out three burning piles of construction and demolition material at Salvatore Cascino’s Copake Valley Farm on Route 22 Saturday afternoon, after being called to the scene by a state Department of Environmental Conservation officer who was allegedly investigating illegally controlled burns. On Thursday, Cascino was found not guilty of a charge that he dumped more than 70 cubic yards of solid waste and petroleum at an unpermitted facility in Clermont.
