August 31, 2018 161 Main St., Cold Spring, N.Y. | highlandscurrent.org Tires Dumped into Indian Brook State investigating incidents in Garrison

By Michael Turton

s many as 100 tires were dumped this month in and near Indian ABrook in Garrison, prompting an investigation by state and local officials. About two weeks ago, dozens of truck, tractor, all-terrain vehicle and automobile tires were found in and along the brook from above the waterfall to about a quar- ter-mile upstream, near the hairpin turn on Indian Brook Road. Philipstown resident David Marzollo said he noticed on Friday, Aug. 17, that a few tires had been tossed below Indian Brook Road as he prepared to go for a run. “I thought pulling them up to the road would be my exercise for the day,” he re- called. “I care about that place.

Recycling (from Page 1) only takes materials that have 0.5 per- cent contamination or less — a specifica- tion that can’t be achieved “unless you reduce the contamination in the inbound stream,” Hastings said. China also banned the import of mixed paper (i.e., junk mail), which had account- ed for 20 percent of its inbound stream. As demand has plummeted, expenses have skyrocketed, Hastings said. A year ago, Beacon could sell a ton of recycled paper for $15, which added up to $16,000 in revenue in 2017. Today, City Adminis- trator Anthony Ruggiero said, the city is paying $65 to dispose of that same ton. In Cold Spring, the village used to re- ceive revenue for providing recyclables to ReCommunity, a firm in Beacon, said Deputy Mayor Marie Early, but as China stopped purchasing recyclables, the vil- lage had to start paying for the service. While the initial cost of recycling was about half that of trash disposal, Early said, the village now pays nearly $67 per ton for recyclables compared to $81.50 for a ton of garbage. Those figures do not in- clude wages, fuel or vehicle maintenance, she noted.

HERE’S THE SCOOP — More than 190 children and 30 teens and adults participated in the Desmond-Fish Library’s summer reading program, which concluded on Aug. 21 with an ice cream party at the Garrison library. During the weekly program children earned dimes for acts of kindness, which they could donate to the Putnam Highlands Audubon Society or the Philipstown Food Pantry. Each nonprofit sent a representative to the party to accept the donations and tell the children what the dimes would be used for. Photos by Ross Corsair

The Thing, the 1982 thriller starring Kurt Russell, runs for an hour and Behind the Scenes at 49 minutes — less time than it took the Cold Spring Film Society to set up its 27-foot screen and prepare for a free screening on Aug. 18 at Dockside Park. Peter Maloney, a Garrison resident who appeared in the film, offered an introduction, remembering the shoot as the best job he ever had. He was on set for six months, he said, “despite the fact [spoiler alert] I am horribly killed near the beginning.” Every other weekend over the summer, volunteers from the society and high school interns assembled the screen and set up the popcorn booth. Donations keep the films coming. The 2018 season concludes at Dockside on Saturday, Sept. 1, with The Sound of Music, which will begin at about 7:30 p.m. Bring your own chairs or blankets.
