The Cold Spring resident faced a charge of harassment in the second degree at a bench trial before Judge An- thony Costello on Thursday, April 30. Putnam County Assistant District Attorney David Bishop prosecuted the case while Poughkeepsie-based attorney Steven Patterson represented Weissbrod. The trial was a classic case of “he said, she said,” centered on Weiss- brod’s behavior at the Cold Spring firehouse during the March 18, 2014, village election. The firehouse served as a polling station that day. Tak- ing such case to trial is not without considerable cost. In court that day, in addition to Judge Costello and the two attorneys, were the court clerk, a court stenographer, four witnesses and two reporters. Calls to Bishop and Patterson to determine what factors prevented such a relatively minor charge from being settled without the expense of a trial were not returned. Harassment in the second degree is clas- sified as a “violation,” an offense considered less serious than a misde- meanor.

  • 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.
