By Michael Turton

rustees for the Haldane Board of Education have begun a discus- Tsion that could lead to a later start to the school day – and if such a change takes place it will likely affect all grades, kindergarten through 12. The idea of shifting school hours has been around for many years, but the discussion at the board’s Tuesday (Sept. 2) meeting seems to indicate that educators are now look- ing at it more seriously. No decision was reached however the board did agree to hold a workshop later this year to focus on the issues involved. The surge in interest in changing September comes to Cold Spring.

In a large bowl, gently toss the prepared fruit with the flour, ½ of the crystallized ginger, ¼ teaspoon of the almond extract and 2 to 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, depending on how sweet/ripe the fruit is.

Randomly drop the oat and nut mixture over the fruit and bake in the top third of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, checking after 15 minutes or so that the top does not brown too much. (Cover loosely with foil for the remaining cook time if this is the case.) 5. Serve warm — plain or topped with a splash of cream, whipped cream or some good Hudson Valley vanilla ice cream.
