The Main family presided over the company until Spencer passed away in the mid 1960’s. The Main family chose to pass on the ownership of the company to their trusted employees with the directive to carry on the family’s name while upholding the Main brother’s reputation of quality customer service.

By TED REMSNYDER Officials and residents in Walden have long desired a community center to call their own. So the village is taking another crack this summer at securing funding for the proposed community hub, which would be located in James W. Olley Community Park.

The village is planning on applying for a $832,000 grant through the state’s Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) that would cover the entire cost of the project. The application is due by July 28 and Walden could get word on the CFA grant by December. If the village receives the funding for the community center, they’d have one year to build the local gathering site.

This week, village officials will also meet with State Senator William Larkin in hopes of securing money for the community center project through a SAM grant. “We’re going to ask him if he can help us out with any amount so that would reduce the CFA request,” Village Manager John Revella said. “Hopefully that would increase our chances of getting funding through that program.”

The Walden administration contends that a community center for the village is long overdue. “We are the largest village in the Town of Montgomery, and we’re the only village right now that have a dedicated community does not center,” Walden Mayor Susan Rumbold said.

The public rally takes place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 15, across from Moroney’s Cycle on Route 300.

“I want the Department of Defense to take notice that the residents of the Hudson Valley are unanimous in their opposition to the continued discharge of PFOS into our streams and river,” said City of Newburgh Ward 2 Councilwoman Genie Abrams.

Abrams is among a group of residents and activists who will join organizations including Riverkeeper, Scenic Hudson and the Quassaick Creek Watershed Alliance to demonstrate at the event. New York State Assemblyman Frank Skartados and Riverkeeper’s Water Quality Program Director Dan Shapley are among the scheduled speakers.

The event is open to the public and participants are welcome, Abrams said.

The rally is being held next to several large tanks that are part of a carbon filtration system installed to remove perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) from Washington Lake, the city’s main source of drinking water.

Skartados’ funding will provide $250,000 for water and sewer and the remaining $125,000 will go toward the final items needed on the park grounds.

Hansut said water and sewer is “going to go underneath the railroad tracks from the sewer plant so that will give the educational building bathrooms and be able to run it to the southern part of the park and then Mariner’s would be able to privately hook in so he can have water and sewer to his [future] restaurant.”

Hansut said the owner of the Mariner’s site, Richard Ronkese, would have to pay related costs involved to join the sewer district.

“I am thrilled the Assemblyman was able to do this and we appreciate everything he does for our community,” Hansut said. “Obviously, we’ll have to put it out for bid...I think the engineering is already done so I think it will be a quickContinued on page 18
