Lake Huntington News December 31

I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas. I was down in Queens with my sister and her family. We spent a few days in the city. She did not let us stop for one minute; we walked and walked and sweated, it was so hot and muggy. On Christmas Eve we watched ice skating; it was puddle skating.

We saw “The Lion King,” we went to see a Welsh children’s Christmas play (all poetry)—been there, never need to do that

again.

We had been trying to get into St. Patrick’s since October but could not get tickets, so my sister took us to the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. It was a High Mass: 12 priests, everything was sung and so much incense I could not breathe. When you went up to receive Communion, you had to go to the communion rail and kneel; you got bread not a wafer. Other things were different from what I am used to, too. That got me thinking, and I looked at my sister and asked, “What kind of church is this?” She started to laugh and said, “Episcopalian.” She got a punch in the arm. Two hours and it was not even a Catholic church.

Tax bills are in the mail. I needed to have them done so I can spend my birthday with my sister and friends. Works out great for me to get them out before the 30th. Yes, December 30 I will be 56.

During the month of January I will be at the town hall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m. You can always call me at 845/932-8360, ext. 17 to make arrangements to meet me there at another time or on a Saturday. The best way to get me is by e-mail at taxcollec tor@thetownofcochectonny.org All your tax information is available on line at www.taxlookup.net; click on “Sullivan,” then “Cochecton.” If you moved, or sold your house, or paid off your mortgage, you need to call the assessor, Lorry King, at extension 12 for an address change and to update your information.

Supervisor Gary Maas hopes that everyone had a very merry Christmas, and wishes all a happy and healthy new year. He would like to remind you that you can get a lot of information at the town website, www.townofcochectonny.org. The Cochecton Youth Group event calendar is also up on the town website.

On New Year’s Day, the Lake Huntington Fire Company is holding a chicken barbeque at 3 p.m., take-out only, for $10 each. See a fireman for tickets or contact Betty at 845/932-8378 or RuthAnne at 932-8514. Please come out and help support our local fire department.

Please keep the family of Grace VanHulsteyn in your thoughts and prayers. Grace passed away.

Have a great week and email leeniebeans@citlink.net or call 845/252-3568 if you have news.
