Diane Valden is reporting in the Columbia Paper Copake town officials are describing the vandalism at Copake Memorial Park over the 4th of July holiday weekend as "horrific."

On the following Monday, the director of the town’s summer recreation program arrived to find that someone had also defaced the concrete floor of the park pavilion with red spray paint. Town council member Kelly Miller-Simmons, the liaison to the Copake Parks and Recreation Commission, said a formal police report was not filed immediately.
