Firefighters hailed for storm efforts

Posted

GLEN SPEY, NY — Lumberland Fire Department Chief Eric Robles is pictured on June 13 accepting a proclamation of thanks from town Supervisor Jenny Mellan for the department members’ 10-day, around-the-clock efforts during major snowstorms on March 2 and March 7 and the lengthy accompanying power outages.

Their work was proclaimed as “nothing short of heroic.” Several of the volunteer department’s officers and members were on hand and stood for audience recognition.

In other town board business, attorney for the town Danielle Jose-Decker announced that the Sullivan County Supreme Court had denied a 2017 tax certiorari petition by Eagle Creek Hydropower LLC, which sought an assessment reduction from $4.7 million to $1 million on the company’s Rio power station generating operation.

In other business, the board, upon code enforcement officer Dave Sparling’s report of “significant improvement,” voted to drop all prior cleanup orders issued during an eight-month dispute over an un-resolved rubbish violation at the Bodnaruik property in Mohican Lake; named former supervisor and current county legislator Nadia Rajsz to the vacant town seat on the Upper Delaware Council; accepted a $7,000 donation from the Kadampa Meditation Center of Glen Spey; named Faith Robles as an aide/EMT, and Kayleigh Sherman and Aleah Batzano as aides for the town’s summer youth program; and approved a $650 appropriation to fund the Broome Street Band’s participation in the town’s annual Independence Day Parade.
