By now, every
one has a story about the incident
on Sunday, February 13 when 25-year old Robert C. Bonelli Jr.
took a semi-automatic rifle he’s picked up at a TechCity
gun show and marched through the Hudson Valley Mall, firing
off between 50 and 60 rounds, luckily injuring only two. For
a while, rumors had it that there were hostages and accomplices.
later, it turned out to be a troubled man from the Saugerties
neighborhood of Glasco... and some true local heroism at work.
And a caring community pulling together for itself... What a
different world!

The
home of Deborah Rysinski and Kimber Krushinski
on Park Road in Chichester was completely destroyed
by a fast-moving fire early Monday morning,
which the county's chief inspector called "probably
electrical in nature." By the time the
M.F.Whitney Hose company arrived just moments
after the first 911 call, the house was fully
engulfed. The couple made it out safely, their
dogs did not. Everything they owned is gone.
Monetary
donations can be sent to: Keybank, PO
Box 36 Phoenicia, NY 12464 attn. "Benefit
account for Kimber and Debbie."
