Things get even more perplexing when newcomers to this community 60 miles north of New York City discover that most of its schoolchildren are served by the Carmel Central School District, while those in the town of Carmel itself are mostly served by the Mahopac Central School District, said Robert J. Bradley, a broker with Holly Real Estate who sits on the town zoning board. “People here are very confused about where they live, and what town they live in,” Mr. Bradley added, explaining that the Postal Service also accepts “Kent Lakes” as an alternative name for Kent to differentiate it from the other Kent, N.Y., near Rochester.
A key to dispelling that confusion, as he sees it, is to recognize Kent’s importance to the New York City water supply. Carmel has much of the commerce in the area, largely because “there’s not that much in Carmel that’s in the watershed” — a zone requiring heightened environmental protection. Less encumbered than Kent by building restrictions, Carmel, the county seat, has become the more logical place for businesses and shops.
There is undeniably something about the water in Kent; to protect it, New York City and New York State own about 39 percent of the town’s 43-square-mile area, said Gary E. Link, the town assessor.
And it is once the subject shifts to water that Kent residents resoundingly express their pride of place. They might even rhapsodize a little. Mr. Lennon, a high school English teacher who commutes daily to the Bronx, lives in a house overlooking Seven Hills Lake, which he describes as “like a postcard.” For Mr. Erichson, a primary resident of Montclair, N.J., who teaches law at Fordham University in Manhattan, it’s about the way the light hits China Pond as he watches from his Sedgewood deck. “I keep thinking it’s my favorite time of day,” he said. “But I think that every time I look.”
All of which corroborates Mr. Bradley’s summary of Kent as “a whole lot of neighborhoods around lakes.” From the way he reels off some of their names — Pine Pond, China Pond, Barrett Pond, Sagamore Lake, Palmer Lake, and Lake Carmel, White Pond, Seven Hills — it’s clear what takes precedence in the collective consciousness.


Julio R. Lopez, 23, of Hill and Dale Road, Kent, was charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, about 2:40 a.m. June 17. Police said he assaulted a woman at La Frontera bar. He was initially held for arraignment then turned over to the Brewster Justice Court, which had a warrant for his arrest on a previous charge of third-degree assault.

State Police are currently treating the matter as an accidental fall and do not suspect any foul play. An autopsy is scheduled for a later date.

Video Leads To Arrest In Theft Of Sign At Donald J. Trump State Park



...
Ronald Atzmon of Carmel was charged with stealing the sign to the Donald J. Trump Park in Yorktown.

Surveillance video led New York State Park police to a Carmel man as the culprit who vandalized Donald J. Trump State Park last month at the Indian Hill section in Yorktown and allegedly stole the entryway sign.
Ronald Atzmon, 32, was charged with a felony count of criminal mischief and misdemeanor petit larceny in connection with the March 22 vandalism at the park, said Randy Simons, public information officer for the state Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation.
"The Indian Hill section sign that was stolen has already been replaced," Simons said.
Atzmon's arrest came just a day after state Park Police released surveillance photos of a man inside a dark-colored van.
Trump, who owns an estate in Bedford, also owns Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley in Stormville and Trump National Westchester in Briarcliff Manor. The Trump name also adorns Trump Tower At City Center in White Plains, Trump Plaza in New Rochelle and Trump Park Residences in Yorktown.

Cable TV Worker From Brewster Dies On Job At High School

A 62-year-old Optimum cable worker from Brewster whose body was found in a utility closet at a New Jersey all-girls high school died of an apparent heart attack, authorities said.
Paul A. Glatz was doing installation work at the Academy of the Holy Angels in Demarest when he was struck, they said.
His body was found just before noon Wednesday morning, about 24 hours after he arrived at the school, Demarest Police Chief James Powderly III said.
School officials quickly sent a robo-message to parents and assembled students and staff for a briefing, the chief said. Counselors were made available, as well.
The Bergen County Medical Examiner was conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
A computer programmer for four decades, Glatz enjoyed old radios and cars, as well as community service, his sister told Nj.com.
He leaves a wife, Lauretta Petriello Glatz, and a son.

New Rochelle Couple Shares Expertise At Caregivers Conference


Gwen and Alvin Clayton will deliver the keynote address at the upcoming Caregivers Conference at the New Rochelle Public Library.

 As long-time New Rochelle residents, Gwen and Alvin Clayton support a host of community events and programs. In November, they will share their expertise as caregivers for elderly parents.
The Claytons will be the keynote speakers for The Art of Caregiving, a conference scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 19, at New Rochelle Public Library. The conference will help caregivers address the emotional and physical challenges of caring for loved ones. It takes place from 4:30-7 p.m. at the library, located at 1 Lawton St.
Barbara Davis, the community relations coordinator for the library, said the conference will also have representatives from different organizations such as attorneys, social workers and elderly care businesses for people to have one-on-one consultations.
“This conference fits perfectly in line with our mission and providing a space where people feel comfortable talking about a challenge that faces them,’’ Davis said. “It’s a huge advantage when you can have that 1-on-1 contact. This is something I’ve been wanting to do.”
Alvin owns Alvin & Friends restaurant in New Rochelle, and is also an accomplished artist and former model. Examples of Clayton’s artwork will be on display at the Caregivers Conference.
The Claytons are also experienced at coping with the stresses that are placed on families when they need to care for an elderly parent. Davis said hearing the Claytons share their story will resonate with guests at the conference.
“It will help them identify,’’ Davis said. “People will be able to hear how they were able to do it, how they would find the resources and the strength. I think they’ll also find out there are benefits to being caregivers. That’s not something everyone thinks about.”
Davis, who also served as an elderly caregiver, says it can be an enriching experience. “There’s a lot of benefit of being a caregiver,’’ she said. “There’s a tremendous value in the relationship that you form with them. It’s a new kind of relationship. Once you’re on that leveling field, all kinds of new things open up.”
People can register for the free conference by sending an email to Jennifer Schwartz at jqsu@westchestergov.com or by calling 914-813-6263. Reservations are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome.


Northern Westchester Crash That Kills 32-Year-Old Man Tops News

A Mohegan Lake man was killed early Wednesday in a car crash near Mount Pleasant.

Jason Shenkman, 32, of Mohegan Lake was killed in a one-car fatal crash around midnight on the Taconic State Parkway early Wednesday in Mount Pleasant.
A 2008 Audi A6, operated by Jason G.

Firefighters from both Briarcliff Manor and Hawthorne responded and extricated the man from the car.
A preliminary investigation indicates that speed was a contributing factor to the crash, McMorris added.
Shenkman was transported to Westchester Medical Center by Briarcliff Manor EMS where he was pronounced dead, state police said.
Shenkman’s cause of death is pending autopsy and toxicology.
