Nathan Mayberg writes in the Register Star the Galvan Foundation proposal for a homeless shelter located at State and Seventh streets in Hudson got the go-ahead from the Columbia County Board of Supervisors Human Services Committee, Wed., July 18. The proposal calls for Galvan to maintain a 37-room shelter for the county's single homeless population with case management services provided by the Mental Health Association of Columbia-Greene Counties. The county will enter into a five-year agreement with Galvan at the cost of $611,000 for the first year. The county currently houses its homeless population in motels. Mayor William Hallenbeck Jr. and Common Council President Don Moore attended the committee meeting, and voiced support for the project. Supervisor Ellen Thurston [a WGXC programmer], Democrat of Hudson, was the lone dissenting vote on the proposal. Citing declining homeless numbers and a lack of public input on the plan, she said it was “premature” to enter into a long-term lease agreement. The matter now moves on for a vote by the full board.

Susan Campriello writes in The Daily Mail Tom Rogers Auto Service of Cairo has inked a temporary, 30-day contract with the Cairo-Durham Central School District to maintain the district's fleet of buses, while officials put the full-year maintenance agreement out to bid. Last week, the Cairo-Durham Board of Education reversed its June decision to enter into a one-year intermunicipal agreement with the Greenville Central School District for bus maintenance services, Questions were raised over the actual savings associated with the new arrangement. Rogers has held the Cairo-Durham bus maintenance contract for nearly 60 years. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.

Brian Nearing writes in the Times Union a new report from Earthworks Oil & Gas Accountability Project, a group against high-impact hydraulic fracturing, asserts that New York State lags in inspecting oil and gas wells, and is not ready to handle what could be a deluge of wells if it allows natural gas hydraulic fracturing. The group compared New York's inspection and enforcement history for petroleum wells to states where fracking is already in use — Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio, New Mexico and Colorado, and found one in four of the state's 10,134 wells were inspected by Dept. of Environmental Conservation during 2010. This percentage was far less than Texas, New Mexico or Colorado, but superior to Pennsylvania or Ohio. During the last decade, the number of wells in New York climbed from about 9,000 to nearly 10,500, while the number of inspections dropped from nearly 3,500 a year to about 2,500 a year.

On "@Issue" at 10 a.m., Wed., July 18, Hudson Mayor William Hallenbeck, Jr. explained the Hudson Police Department's use of a SWAT team to evict the Furgary Boat Club from the Hudson waterfront Mon., July 16. Speaking with host Victor Mendolia (who is head of the city's Democrat party), Republican Hallenbeck explained the police had received reports of firearms, and had talked with people close to the group who were concerned about "suicide by cop." He also said that there are still discussions under way to resolve the situation so that at least some of the Furgary Boat Club buildings could remain in some public way. On July 16, the city evicted the group, who have no lease and have occupied the land for over a century. Click here to listen to full hour-long interview.

Susan Campriello reports in The Daily Mail in an effort to economize, Greenville town officials have begun the process of combining the duties of town clerk and tax collector into one office. Both offices now carry a two-year term. A public hearing on the consolidation will be conducted at the end of August. The matter then moves on for voter approval with a referendum on the November ballot, according to Supervisor Paul Macko. If approved, the offices will be combined in Jan. 2014. In other action taken Mon., July 16, the Greenville Town Board approved a full smoking ban in George V. Vanderbilt Park. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.

Tom Casey reports in the Register Star the Hudson Common Council passed a local law Tues., July 17, to ban smoking within all city-owned and operated parks. Violators will be fined $250. The law takes effect immediately. The Council also approved the so-called, "dog poop law." That law increases the fine for failure to clean up after a dog from $50 up to $250 for a first offense. The fine doubles with each subsequent offense -- up to $500 the second time around, and to $1,000 for the third. A local law to alter the process for city review of Freedom of Information Law requests was sent back to committee for further consideration. Read the full story in the Register Star.

The National Weather Service in Albany issued an Air Quality Alert for the entire WGXC listening area from 11 a.m. through 11 p.m. Tuesday because of high ozone layers. Predicted temperatures in the 90s Tuesday should make the situation worse. The New York Dept. of Health recommends, "individuals consider limiting strenuous physical activity to reduce adverse health effects." Call 1-800-535-1345 for air quality information.

On Sun., July 15, U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson spoke with Jimmy Vielkind of Capitol Confidential and expressed his position on the prospect of opening New York up for hydraulic fracturing. “I’m not in a position to support the governor’s plan until I see that we have a regulatory process that protects the water and the air, that deals with waste water, that deals with chemicals," Gibson said. "I believe we’re a country that can do hard things…if we continue to work hard we ought to be able to find a way to do this safely, but until they find a way, I’m not in a position to support it.” Gibson said he believed the chemicals in any fluid used for hydrofracking should be disclosed, and added, “I don’t think they should have exemptions from the Clean Water Act. I don’t think that’s right.” The Kinderhook Republican will face Democrat challenger Julian Schreibman of Stone Ridge in November, to represent the 19th Congressional District. During the debate with primary opponent Joel Tyner in June, Schreibman said he stood "100 percent" in opposition to fracking. Read the full post at Capitol Confidential.

Kyle Wind reports in the Daily Freeman Gibson opened his campaign headquarters in Ulster, Mon., July 16. More than 100 people listened as Gibson spoke of the importance of controlling costs he said impede growth in the forms of taxes, government regulation, health care and energy. Gibson said he intends to run on his record. Read the full story in the Daily Freeman.

WGXC has learned the Hudson Police Department carried out the eviction of the North Dock Tin Boat Association from the land it occupies on the eastern shore of the Hudson River very early Monday morning. An unspecified number of people present at the club when HPD officers arrived left without incident. The city Department of Public Works then began the job of erecting a fence around the perimeter of the North Bay property. WGXC will continue to follow this story throughout the day.

UPDATE (12:06 p.m.): Tom Casey is now reporting in the Register Star city DPW workers and an HPD S.W.A.T. team arrived at the property at 3 a.m. Mon., July 16, and removed the last remaining members of the North Dock Tin Boat Association from the shacks. DPW then erected a fence to prevent entrance onto the property. In a statement released by the police later in the day, the department explained its use of the special operations unit, saying the decision was made based on reports that "one of the subjects was armed and had made threats that he would kill the police if they came to remove him." DPW workers will continue to work at the location throughout the day, installing new locks on shack doors and boarding and locking windows to keep people out. Read the full story in the Register Star.

UPDATE (2:10 p.m.): Tiffany Martin Hamilton, a fourth-generation Furgarian, commented on the eviction and what's ahead in a statement to WGXC Monday afternoon:

I am looking at today's events as the close of this chapter in the story of the Furgary. Today is a new day, and it will be our stepping off point for future discussions with the Mayor and his staff. Several members of the Furgary and I met last Thursday [July 12] with the Mayor, his aide, the city attorney and the President of the Common Council to discuss several options. The most viable and well-perceived was the thought of opening up the cabins for use by the public in a park setting, as is often done in state parks. While this isn't the Furgary that its key holders are so accustomed to, it seems to me to be a far better option than demolition. I, as well as many others who have worked side by side with me in this process, believe that preservation to honor the history and significance of the location is extremely important. Hudson has made some terrible moves in the past, demolishing buildings and even entire neighborhoods for the sake of "progress." We now look back on most of those projects as colossal mistakes. I hope we're not having a discussion twenty years from now about what a shame it was that the city chose to demolish something as unique and special as the Furgary Boat Club. I remain optimistic that we will be able to strike a balance with the city.

The deadline for submission of designating petitions for state and local office was Thurs., July 12. Based on the information made available by the state Board of Elections and various county boards, primaries are on tap for Republicans in the 41st and 43rd Senate districts, and in the 105th Assembly District. Democrats will have primaries in the 46th SD and the 107th AD. In the 107th, Cheryl Roberts of Spencertown is faced with two primaries, for both the Democrat and Working Families lines.

This year, Poughkeepsie Republican Steve Saland (right) will face his first primary challenge in 32 years. He is opposed by Neil DeCarlo of Brewster (Putnam Co.). Saland is seeking his 12th, two-year term to serve the now redrawn 41st. He was not endorsed by the Conservative Party this time around -- a direct result of his vote in support of the Marriage Equality Act last summer.

Former Assemblyman and gubernatorial hopeful Patrick Manning (left) has returned to electoral politics. He is seeking the Republican spot on the ballot in the 105th AD. Manning, of East Fishkill, served in the Assembly from 1994 to 2006, departing after he lost in a primary to Marcus Molinaro. Manning was recently passed over by the GOP in favor of Richard Wager to run against Didi Barrett, Molinaro's eventual successor. This time he will face off against Wager and former Congressional candidate Kieran Michael Lalor for a spot on the Republican line in November.

A full list of candidates follows. The primary election will take place Sept. 13; the general election is Nov. 6.

Stories that made the news, July 12 to July 15, 2012:

Diana Valden reported in The Columbia Paper Salvatore Cascino is out of the construction and demolition debris and solid waste business, as of late June. Days before he was to go to trial in Albany County Supreme Court on three felony counts, Cascino agreed to a deal that prohibits his companies from operating a construction and demolition processing facility, and mandates he relinquish any permits for c+d operations he currently holds. Cascino, 72, of Larchmont (Westchester Co.), owns 300 acres along the east side of Route 22, from about the southern entrance to the Copake hamlet south to County Route 3. He named the place Copake Valley Farm and for the past 15 years has racked up violations of federal, state and town laws there related to everything from illegal dumping in a protected trout stream to building and excavating without securing proper permits. A DEC representative called the outcome "a big win" for Columbia County. Read the full story in The Columbia Paper.

Brian Nearing reported in the Times Union Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., one of the nation's largest insurance companies, announced Thurs., July 12, it has decided coverage on land, property or equipment involved in natural gas hydrofracking is too risky, and that none of its policies were "designed to provide coverage for any fracking-related risks." Hydrofracking opponents interpreted Nationwide's unwillingness to take on the risk of potential damage from the controversial gas extraction process as confirmation that concerns over pollution of water and air are real and substantial. Read the full story in the Times Union.

Andrew Wyrich reported in the Watershed Post the HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley is moving toward closing Kingston Hospital and move all hospital services to the campus of neighboring Benedictine Hospital within 18 months. The new merged hospital will be nonsectarian, and the number of beds will be reduced. The hospital at the Benedictine campus will not have "limitations on reproductive services," Wyrich wrote. Kingston Mayor Shayne Gallo said the service cuts will severely hurt the Kingston Hospital's clientele, many which have limited economic means. The consolidation could leave as many as 600 people unemployed. Read the full story in the Watershed Post.

Nathan Mayberg reported in the Register Star fledgling saltwater fish producer Local Ocean missed its payment in lieu of taxes due to the Columbia County Industrial Development Agency in January. The last payment made by the company was received in Sept. According to Mayberg's account, Raymond Mizrahi, a vice president with Local Ocean, said a new CEO took over the company about six months ago. It is unclear how many people the company now employs at the Greenport location. Local Ocean claims to be the world’s first commercial zero-discharge, 100 percent recirculating aquaculture system to grow and sell saltwater fish. The facility opened in 2009, and has been touted for its innovation and potential by politicians on both sides of the aisle, including U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer and U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson. Read the full story in the Register Star.

Jim Planck reported in The Daily Mail infrastructure problems with the Catskill Ambulance Dept. building located on West. Bridge St. continue. Catskill Town Supervisor Joseph Leggio told the town board recently the cause of water damage to the structure has not been eliminated, as previously thought. The problems lie with a poorly designed heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, Leggio said. He indicated the next step will be to contact the appropriate parties and begin the process of correcting the problem. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.

Joseph Spector reported in the Democrat and Chronicle police in New York issued nearly 21,000 tickets for texting while driving in one year, more than four times the number of citations written the previous year. The law banning texting while driving took effect in July 2011, permits more aggressive enforcement and increased the penalty for using a handheld device while driving from two to three points on a license. Read the full story in the Democrat and Chronicle.

Over the weekend, WGXC broadcast several live recordings of musical performances.

First, WGXC broadcast Sat., July 14 from noon-2 p.m. from the Athens Street Festival.
