Justice Sam D. Walker decided that Mount Vernon must pay Creative Di- rection, a company owned by Council- man Andre Wallace, $234,065.09 for work at a firehouse at 50 W. Third St. Creative Direction sued the city Feb. 25 for the money after almost a year of delays in paying the money owed. Mount Vernon was supposed to have a new emergency operations center years ago, but with more than $1 million spent, the project sits unfinished amid finger-pointing and a lawsuit.

    ROCHESTER HISTORY Edited by Joseph W. Barnes, City Historian Vol. XXXVIII AprilandJuly, 1976 Nos. 2 and 3 The Arson Years Fire Protection, Fire lnsuhnce, and Fire Politics 1908-1910 By Joseph W. Barnes The human fascination with fires and fire-fighting endures through the years. If tragic losses of life and property are still a serious concern, despite modern building codes and fire­ fighting methods, only a small leap of imagination is needed to appreciate how frightening fire could be in the years when even the downtown sections of cities were largely wooden; when spark-generating coal was the major fuel for all purposes; and when hundreds of hay-filled barns were tucked behind houses and commercial establishments. As in other American cities, these conditions prevailed in turn-of-the­ century Rochester. A legendary kerosene lamp started the fire which leveled Chicago in 1871. Thirty or forty years later such lamps were still common in barns, and gas lights could still be found in homes. The incandesccn t lamp was replacing gas, but the rapid introduction of electricity created another hazard until principles of safe wiring were learned.

    Newsday - Long Island, N.Y. [CITY Edition] Author: By Peg Tyre. STAFF WRITER Date: Nov 28, 1991 Section: NEWS ACCUSED MAN BATTLES QUEENS DA ‘POLITICS’ On July 10, 1990, a car driven by Eric Collins veered out of control in Rosedale, Queens, jumped a sidewalk and killed two children. After inspecting the scene at the intersection of Hook Creek Boulevard and 145th Street, as well as the car, police investigators and prosecutors suggested Collins had run a stop sign - a moving viola- tion - but cleared him of any criminal wrongdoing. But two months later, without further investigation, the Queens district attorney’s office took the case to a grand jury, which indicted Collins on charges of assault and reckless endangerment. If he is convicted, he faces three to seven years in jail. His trial is scheduled to begin this week. The tragedy that took the lives of two children was similar to that of Aug. 19 this year, when 7- year-old Gavin Cato was killed by a car that veered out of control and struck him as he played on a Crown Heights sidewalk. Gavin’s death sparked a firestorm of protests and three days of rioting in Crown Heights, but a grand jury found that the driver, Yosef Lifsh, had not committed a crime. Collins, 22, who works as an assistant analyst for Shearson Lehman Brothers, says his car mal- functioned, causing him to lose control. He says he believes the indictment is a result of politics and not justice. “It was a terrible accident, but there was no criminal intent,” Collins said.

    Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department D60788 I/htr AD3d Argued - May 9, 2019 REINALDO E. RIVERA, J.P. HECTOR D. LASALLE BETSY BARROS ANGELA G. IANNACCI, JJ. 2018-00361 DECISION & ORDER Benjamin Hayt, appellant, v Newsday, LLC, respondent. (Index No. 2302/17) Paul A. Hayt, New York, NY (Kareem Vessup of counsel), for appellant. Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, New York, NY (Rachel Strom and Cary McClelland of counsel), for respondent. In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for libel, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Jerome C. Murphy, J.), entered October 12, 2017. The order granted the defendant’s motion pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(1) and (7) to dismiss the complaint. ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs. We agree with the Supreme Court’s determination to grant the defendant’s motion pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(1) and (7) to dismiss the complaint. Civil Rights Law § 74 provides that a civil action cannot be maintained against any person, firm, or corporation for the publication of a fair and true report of any judicial proceeding, legislative proceeding, or other official proceeding. “The case law has established a liberal interpretation of the ‘fair and true report’ standard of [the statute] so as to provide broad protection to news accounts of judicial or other official proceedings” (Cholowsky v Civiletti, 69 AD3d 110, 114, quoting Becher v Troy Publ. Co., 183 AD2d 230, 233). “For a report to be characterized as fair and true within the meaning of the statute, thus immunizing its publisher from a civil suit sounding in libel, it is enough that the substance of the article be substantially accurate” (Holy Spirit Assn.

  • A Short History of Poughkeepsie's Upper
    A Short History of Poughkeepsie’s Upper Landing Written by Michael Diaz Chapter 1: Native Americans, the Dutch, and the English When Henry Hudson and his crew first sailed past what is now the City of Poughkeepsie in 1609, they sailed into a region that had been inhabited for centuries by a mixture of Algonquin-speaking peoples from the Mahican, Lenape, and Munsee cultures. The people living closest to the waterfall called “Pooghkepesingh” were Wappinger, part of the Lenape nation. The Wappinger likely had ample reason to settle near the Pooghkepesingh falls – the river and the small stream that ran to it from the falls provided good places to fish, and the surrounding hills offered both protection and ample opportunities to hunt. As the Dutch colony of New Netherland took shape along the banks of the Hudson River, the Dutch largely bypassed the river’s east bank. The Dutch preferred settling on the river’s mouth (now New York City), its northern navigable terminus (today’s Albany), and landings on the western bank of the Hudson (such as the modern city of Kingston). As such, Europeans did not show up in force near the Pooghkepesingh falls until the late 17th century. By that time, the Dutch had lost control of their colony to the English. It was a mix of these two groups that started building what is now the city of Poughkeepsie. On May 5, 1683, a Wappinger named Massany signed a deed giving control of the land around the Pooghkepesingh falls to two Dutch settlers, Pieter Lansingh and Jan Smeedes, who planned to build a mill on the small creek running from the falls.
