Mother Nature was very kind to us this past winter and we are sure many clubs will soon be completing the Raid Program. Our new Raid Program will begin on June 1, 1995, so we hope you will get a head start during the warm weather. Talking of warm weather, the NNJSDA will begin the Summer Dance Program on June 21, 1995, at the Paramus Jewish Center. Make sure you come out and support our new dancers. Take a few moments to remember when you first started dancing. Think of how many people helped you. Now it's your turn to help our new dancers. We hope that during this summer you will have the opportunity to travel on vacation. Be sure you pack your square dance clothes and attend a dance in a different locality. If you have never danced while on vacation, we are sure you will find it very enjoyable. In fact, we will guarantee that you will always pack square dance clothes in the future. If you would like to know about square dancing in another area and don't have a current National and International Square Dance Directory, give us a call; we will help. It was a pleasure to see so many NNJSDA dancers at the NJ State Convention in Trenton on March 25, 1995. Congratulations to Rockland Promenaders, you traveled far, but you sure let your presence be known.

    Executive Summary A. INTRODUCTION

    Executive Summary A. INTRODUCTION EPT Concord II, LLC (referred to as “EPT” or the “Applicant”) proposes to develop a master planned destination resort community (referred to as “EPT Concord Resort”) on approximately 1,538 acres of land located in the Town of Thompson (the “Project Site”), Sullivan County, New York. When complete, the EPT Concord Resort will include an 18-hole golf course, Casino Resort, harness horse racetrack, grandstand/showroom, a simulcast theatre, hotels, an Entertainment Village with cinemas and supporting retail, and RV parks. In addition, there will be a Residential Village with a mix of condos, apartments, townhouses and detached single- family homes, a community center, an innovative health care facility, and an active adult residential community. Approximately 45 percent of the Project Site will remain as open space. Upon completion, the Proposed Project will provide approximately 2,642 permanent full time equivalent jobs (FTE). The direct economic activity will generate an additional 1,229 indirect and induced jobs within Sullivan County and an additional 1,505 indirect and induced jobs within New York State. To develop the EPT Concord Resort, the Applicant has initiated several actions. First, the Applicant has petitioned the Town Board of the Town of Thompson for an amendment to the Town of Thompson Planned Resort Development (“PRD”) section of the zoning law (Town Code § 270-27.2) to enable the development of the EPT Concord Resort at the site of the former Concord Resort (“Proposed Action”). The amended zoning law will apply to the entire PRD district, which is comprised of approximately 1,735 acres.1 Second, the Applicant seeks approval from the Town Board for a new PRD Comprehensive Development Plan (“CDP”) for the approximately 1,538-acre Project Site (“Proposed Project”).

    Books: Beautiful decay in the Borscht Belt A coffee-table book provides a peek into the rundown, abandoned ruins of the Borscht Belt. December 1, 2016 Indoor Pool, Grossinger’s Catskill Resort and Hotel, Liberty, NY. Courtesy Marisa Scheinfeld What once were swimming pools for happy and relaxed vacationers are now cement gaps in the ground, some filled with debris, others turning green and damp with moss. Plastic lawn chairs where women once sat to chat and gossip are ripped and cast aside, plates that once served delectable meals have been left behind haphazardly on an empty kitchen counter, paint is peeling off buildings that once housed hundreds of guests. These are just a few of the images captured by Marisa Scheinfeld, the photographer behind the poignant photographs in The Borscht Belt: Revisiting the Remains of America’s Jewish Vacationland. In a photography book that is striking in the stark realism of its images, Scheinfeld pays tribute to the Catskill Mountains, which was known to many as the “Borscht Belt” and sometimes called the “Jewish Alps.” In the 1920s when anti-Semitism in the United States barred Jews from numerous hotels, Eastern European Jews began to flock to the Catskill Mountains to escape the summer heat of New York City. Hundreds of hotels, resorts and bungalow colonies catered to the increasing crowds of vacationers. Grossinger’s, Kutsher’s, Brown’s, Homowack and Concord were names of just a few of the hotels where vacationers came to relax and socialize, splash in the pool, boat on the lake, play racquetball and tennis.

The study is based upon market conditions observed as of the date of our market inspection on November 14, 2013, and research conducted in November and December 2013 and January 2014. The property is part of larger master plan development that will encompass 1,735 acres of the former Concord Resort. The subject will occupy approximately 135 acres of the total development and be located just east of 84 Chalet Road, the current clubhouse for the Concord Monster Golf Course. A traveler on State Route 17 will take exit 106 then travel north on Joyland Road to the subject site. Assumptions The conclusions contained in this report are based upon a review of information provided by you and on-site field work in the market area which is described in the Scope of Assignment section. As in all studies of this type, the conclusions reached do not take into account, or make provisions for, the effect of any sharp rise or decline in local or general economic conditions not presently foreseeable.

    New Sullivan Jail Takes Shape New Direct Supervision Model to Be Utilized

    Your Award-Winning News Source for the Upper Delaware River Valley Region Since 1975 Vol. 44 No. 2 JANUARY 11-17, 2018 www.riverreporter.com $1.50 New Sullivan jail takes shape New direct supervision model to be utilized By FRITZ MAYER ONTICELLO, NY — The new Sullivan County Jail is currently under construction, and prog- Mress has been good; the facility may be able to ac- cept inmates in September of this year. The $75 million fa- cility will have 256 beds. Some 25% of the cells will be able to make use of double occupancy, and the facility could be expanded should the need arrive in the future. Ed McAndrew, commissioner of the Division of Public Works and jail administrator Hal Smith hosted a tour on January 5, for reporters and county officials. This jail is divided into pods, and will utilize a direct supervision model within the pods. During the day, most inmates will be allowed to move freely throughout their pod, which will contain an enclosed, outside open-air rec- reation area as well as a room where inmates can have access to legal research. That space will also double as a room for such meetings for Alcoholics Anonymous and for classes to teach basic life skills. With each pod hav- ing these accommodations, fewer guards will be needed to move inmates from one place to another. But perhaps the biggest difference between the old jail and the new one is that during the day, the inmates and the guards will not be separated by bars. Smith said that TRR photos by Fritz Mayer The new Sullivan County Jail, seen here under construction, will consists of pods in which cells on two floors surround a common area, where most inmates will be free to move about during the day, and guards will operate within the pod and will not be separated from inmates by bars.
