The Poughkeepsie Journal has a weekly feature called "On the Job" that profiles what a job involves, including the work, training, etc. Yesterday's column featured a Municipal Historian: http://www.pojonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060314/BUSINESS03/603140316&SearchID=73238553131012 Also, a while back, Peter K featured a RAIN article about documents related to a company that wanted to develop a beautiful ridge area in Ulster County NY (across the river from us), which would have caused adverse environmental effects, etc., etc. "Advocates said the most important thing about preserving the property was it maintains continuity in a roughly 28,000-acre chestnut oak forest. Some resident species of wildlife, such as the weasel-like fisher, require large unfragmented forests to thrive. The chestnut oak forest also buffers a pitch pine forest on the top of the ridge that harbors rare species and is itself considered globally rare." One person on the list mentioned that he was from that area; probably the rest of you have forgotten it. But today's paper announced that the deal is off, and the land is being added to the Minnewaska State Park: http://www.pojonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060315/NEWS04/603150321 Christine Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer Information Services Librarian Conrad N.
