It’s Community Breakfast Time! Learn about Farm Hub at Gill’s Farm
What started as a spontaneous community celebration three years ago has now become one of the Chamber’s most popular and anticipated breakfast meetings. The Chamber’s Community Breakfast, open to all businesses and members of the community, is now marking its third year. This year’s breakfast, scheduled for 7:30 to 9 a.m. on June 26 at the Wiltwyck Golf Club, 404 Steward Lane, is sponsored by The Sound of Life and will feature guest speakers Brooke Pickering-Cole and John Gill, who will introduce business leaders to the Local Economies Project and its recently established farm hub. The morning will feature recognition of the Ulster Leadership Development Institute (ULDI) class of 2014. Ulster County Comptroller Elliott Auerbach will also introduce his “Recognizing Success” students; the Chamber’s college scholarship recipients will be recognized and the John A. Coleman Basketball team will be congratulated for finishing second in the New York State Basketball Championship.
corridor known as the Hurley Flats. Pickering-Cole, manager of community relations for Local Economies Project, said she and Gill would both speak during the breakfast. “The vision for the farm hub is to create a center for agriculture in the Hudson Valley focused on training new farmers, or farmers who are already in business but want to further develop,” she said. “We’re going to create a farm business incubator on the land.

A chance to see renovated landmark Mount Academy hosts June mixer
Mount Academy, the former Mount St. Alphonsus, has hosted some of the Chamber’s most well attended Business-After-Hours mixers. If you’ve never seen the majestic structure along the Hudson River, the Chamber’s next mixer from 5-7 p.m. on June 19 is your chance. The property is now owned by the Bruderhof and has undergone extensive remodeling. “With all the renovations and construction that has occurred in the last four years, it seems appropriate to invite the Ulster County business community to enjoy what will hopefully be a balmy summer evening on the roof deck overlooking the majestic Hudson River,” said Charles Moore, a senior teacher, coach and pastor at the Mount Academy. The mixer, sponsored by June mixer sponsored by Community Playthings, will be at 1001 Broadway in Esopus. Moore said guests are sure to hear organ performances and hourly ringing of bells. Ship to Shore will provide hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. The Bruderhof communities took over Mount St. Alphonsus in 2012 and renovated and refurbished the building and property to accommodate a Bruderhof community and a four-year New York State registered non-public high school called the Mount Academy. “In the last four years Mount St. Alphonsus has transitioned from a monastery that hosted weekend retreats to a full-scale high school and residential educational community,” Moore said. “For those from the business community who have not yet seen the incredible transformation, the June 19 mixer event is an open invitation to do so.” Since acquiring the property in the spring of 2012 original features of the main building, including its chapel, pipe organ and bells have been restored. Moore said care was taken to preserve the tranquil beauty of the property, including the cemetery. Other completed renovations include a new roof, flooring, classrooms, new kitchen facilities, installation of an environmentally friendly heating system, and replacement of most utilities systems such as electrical, fire detection, water and sewer.
“The massive restorations that happened at the Mount Academy would not have been possible without the assistance and skilled labor of hundreds of local contractors, engineers, plumbers, roofers, electricians and others,” Moore said. “The mixer is an opportunity to show appreciation for the Ulster County business community and acknowledge its countless contributions to the regional community. “The Ulster County business community is part of the fabric that supports the Mount Academy and businesses such as Community Playthings and Rifton Equipment that are owned and operated by the Bruderhof.” The Chamber honored The Mount last year with the Adaptive Reuse Building Project of the Year at the Ulster County Business Awards Dinner. The massive, castle-like structure sits on 400 acres overlooking the Hudson River. Built between 1904 and 1907, it was used exclusively as a seminary for Redemptorist Catholic priests before being converted into a retreat center in 1985. It remained a retreat center until the Bruderhof purchased the property two years ago. Moore said Bruderhof communities have operated private elementary schools and middle schools in Europe and the United States for more than 90 years. The Mount Academy marks the start of a new venture for the Bruderhof in offering a 9-12 grade high school education. Moore said most of the 185 high school students at The Mount Academy currently come from Bruderhof communities in New York and Pennsylvania. “Plans are in place to expand admission in coming years to include students from the region and international students,” Moore said. Deeply rooted in the Christian values of the Bruderhof communities, Moore said the classroom and co-curricular programs “encourage creativity, joy, love for learning, and a sense of wonder for the natural world.” “Equally important is the demand for self-discipline and determination in pursuing rigorous academics, craftsmanship, musical and artistic expression, and sportsmanship,” Continued on Page 11

Sound of Life Sponsors Breakfast Continued from page 1 The Sound of Life exists because of the generosity of individuals, businesses, and ministry partners. Because they give, the Sound of Life can bring light and hope to a challenging and sometimes dark world. The Sound of Life believes in Kingston and Ulster County and endeavors to support community efforts that resonate with our mission for the betterment of Ulster County and the region including supporting the Ulster Chamber. The Sound of Life is a 501c3 educational organization licensed by the state of New York and is a proud member of the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Learn about Local Economies Project at next breakfast Continued from page 1 in “grant-making and financial support for organizations working in the realm of local agriculture and food systems in the Hudson Valley,” Pickering-Cole said. The organization closed on the former Gill Farms in Hurley last December for $13 million. Farmer John Gill has stayed on as the farm manager. “It’s a very unique and cool situation with the former farmer and property owner being part of the new project and new vision for that land,” Pickering-Cole said. The farm hub will ultimately be its own non-profit, but right now is operating under the stewardship of Local Economies Project, Pickering-Cole said. According to the Local Economies Project website (www.localeconomies-hv.com), the mission of the farm hub is to: • Provide training for new and existing farmers in sustainable agriculture and marketing. • Support research and demonstration of new technologies and practices that promote resiliency.
“That’s not just soil, it’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears,” said John Gill. “The last thing I ever wanted to see was houses built there because, as my dad said, they don’t make land anymore.” • Assist farmers with secure and affordable access to land. • Assist farmers and entrepreneurs with access to capital to establish and grow their operations. • Serve as an educational resource for advances in local food and farming in the Hudson Valley. Local Economies Project is now undertaking crop research with Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension to find out what grains do well here. “We’re then going to share all of that information with farmers who are interested in getting into growing grains,” PickeringCole said. Farmers often find it difficult to take risks and experiment, she said. “We’re going to be able to provide that kind of outlet,” she said. “It’s literally going to be a hub for information for resilient
farming practices.” Pickering-Cole said the popular farm stand formerly run by Gill Farms would open in July on a low-key basis. The purchase of Gill Farms was made by The NoVo Foundation, which is run by Peter and Jennifer Buffett. Peter Buffett is the youngest son of billionaire Warren Buffett. “[Peter and Jennifer Buffett] do live up here and they care a lot about these issues and the local economy here,” PickeringCole said. “They’re very excited about helping to support the local economy and in particular supporting agriculture.” Chamber breakfast programs are a great way to network with other local business leaders and stay on top of current events. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Call the Chamber at (845) 338-5100 or go online at www.ulsterchamber.org.

Wiltwyck has great new offers $75 a month can get you access
Wiltwyck Golf Club is known for its beautiful golf course and other sports amenities, but a hidden gem may be the banquet facilities. New General Manager Robert Snyder said Wiltwyck has opened up access to the banquet facilities for business meetings, luncheons, dinners and seminars. “If you’re a business, give me a call and come in and have your meetings here,” Snyder said. The banquet facility at Wiltwyck can accommodate 225 people comfortably with a dance floor or 300 with no music or dancing. Three of Wiltwyck’s chefs were trained at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park and have been on staff for many years. Snyder said Wiltwyck offers plenty of parking, including valet service, and is close to the Thruway and Uptown Kingston. Wiltwyck has been aggressively advertising recently in an attempt to boost membership. “We’re looking to have people that are interested in golf,” Snyder said. “We can give anyone a tour who wants to see the course and all we have to offer. “We have become an extremely economical place to play golf. We want to get people to get the most out of summer so we want to get them signed up right now. The golf season is in swing.” Snyder, who succeeded former GM Bill Green about a month ago, comes from the Susquehanna Valley Country Club in Hummels Warth, Pa., about 60 miles north of Harrisburg. Snyder said that course is similar to Wiltwyck. “It’s a challenging course so it’s a lot of fun for avid golfers to come here and play,” Snyder said of Wiltwyck. “I’m used to being around the mountains and the Catskills are absolutely beautiful. From every angle, you have a spectacular view of the mountains. I’ve also found the people in the Hudson Valley very welcoming and very open and friendly. “It’s been a wonderful experience to become a part of the com-
munity and get to know people.” Snyder is a member of Brown Management, which entered into a three-year deal to manage Wiltwyck and work with the board of directors to promote the club “and enhance the membership experience.” Snyder said golfers really only need tee times on weekends. Most of the time they can just walk right on during the week. “It’s just wide open,” he said. “That’s really nice that you don’t have a long wait list or have to wait a few hours to play.” Besides a golf course, Wiltwyck also features a driving range, putting green, Olympic-style pool with YMCA swimming instruction and four clay tennis courts. There’s also a top-notch restaurant. Wiltwyck rolled out another great deal to attract new members in June. For $900, or $75 a month, people can have access to the clubhouse restaurant, tennis courts, pool, driving range and putting green. They also can play golf three times by paying only a guest fee.

Learn how to supervise and lead people with Glenn Shepard Glenn Shepard is a top motivational speaker who has developed quite a following among the country’s business leaders. Shepard will lead a seminar from 8:30 a.m. to noon on July 8 at the Wiltwyck Golf Club in Kingston entitled “How to Supervise People & Lead a Team.” The Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce and the New Paltz Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring the event.
But why should a business leader sign up and spend a morning at one of his seminars? “The challenge for experienced managers is that the labor force has drastically changed,” Shepard said. “We now have three generations with very different ideas of what it means to be a professional. Because what worked with Baby Boomers 20 years ago and with Gen X 10 years ago won’t work with Gen Y today, it’s crucial
to update their management skills. “For new managers, the problem is that most people are ‘thrown in’ to management with little preparation and virtually no formal training.” Milton Campbell of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality said he has attended a couple of seminars by “nationally known providers,” but he found them full of “patronizing catchphrases that left me looking at my watch.” “Glenn’s seminar is the gold standard by which I judge all other management training,” he said. “Nothing else has even come close. It’s immediately useful, applicable, important information and because of it, I now have a true A-team group that makes coming to work every day enjoyable again. In fact, Shepard said his seminar is full of “hands on techniques [managers] can put to use the same day.” Terry Schramm of CIGNYS in Saginaw, Mich., said the company’s younger supervisors were having a hard time understanding some concepts before attending Shepard’s seminar. “We sent 10 of our supervisors to Glenn’s seminar and they came back telling us what needed to be put in place,” Schramm said. “Glenn got through to those supervisors in one day what we had
spent many hours going over with little effect!” Shepard said some of the most important skills people will learn at the seminar are “how to find good, high quality people that want to work; and how to manage, motivate, and keep them.” Ken and Shelly Clark, who are Subway franchisees, said Shepard’s seminar was invaluable. “In an industry where 125 percent turnover of managers is average and 200 percent turnover of hourly employees is considered excellent, for the past three years our turnover has been 185 percent for hourly and 50 percent for managers, thanks to Glenn,” the Clarks said. Shepard, whose books have been published in six languages and distributed in 13 countries, is the author of the No. 1-bestseller of “How to be the Employee Your Company Can’t Live Without.” The seminar will begin with registration from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and a continental breakfast. Advance registration is required and can be made by calling (845) 338-5100 or emailing
[email protected]. The cost is $129 for Chamber members and $149 for non-members. For more information, go to www.UlsterChamber.org.

Artrider works with the best Check out this crafty company It’s an exclusive artist indeed who can make it into the arts festivals and craft shows produced by Artrider Productions. Prospective exhibitors must apply. “Only the best, most unique, most talented artists are accepted into our shows,” said Laura Kandel, Artrider’s assistant director. “We then produce everything from soup to nuts from there. We deal with the contractors, we deal with the marketing, and the advertising, and the PR and the graphic design and everything in between. “The artists who choose to work with us and we choose to work with are some of the best in the country. We really pride ourselves in bringing unique and well-crafted work to the public. It’s what sets us apart.”
Artrider started in New York City in 1982 and moved to Ulster County in the mid-1980s. The company produces arts festivals and contemporary fine craft shows in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The company has about 10 to 20 competitors around the country. “We feel we are one of the top,” she said. “We certainly
work really hard to make the best shows possible for the exhibitors and the customers.” Artrider’s website (www.artrider.com) tells how art students Stacey Jarit and Jeff Sobel, the company’s directors and co-founders, met in art school and fell in love. “We had no idea when we started selling my cloisonné Continued on Page 9

Artrider works with the best Continued from page 7 enamels at craft shows in the 1970’s that we would create this wonderful company,” Stacey Jarit says on the website. “Three decades later Artrider has become an industry leader and our passion has become our job.” The company also includes Jackie Jarit Sobel Hersh, who is an assistant director and the daughter of Jarit and Sobel. Artrider produces several shows in New York City; Westport, Conn.; Morristown, N.J.; at the historic Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, N.Y.; and at Purchase College. Last year, Artrider began producing the Hudson Valley Arts Festival at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck. “We are bringing tourism to Ulster and Dutchess and the surrounding area,” she said. “We partnered with a lot of Ulster County businesses in the event last year.” Among those businesses were the Woodstock Film Festival and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, who entered into a cross-promotional deal with Artrider. Once people are at the shows, Kandel said Artrider likes to think of the events as “shopping experiences.” The children at the events can enjoy balloon animals, live music, demonstrations, face painters and storytellers. At one event, a musician brought 100 instruments and allowed people to try one. “It adds an element for the husbands and kids as well,” Kandel said. “We really try to make it as well-rounded an event as we can. “One of the other exciting parts about our shows is you actually get to meet the artists who made the work you are purchasing and bringing home.” Kandel said Artrider’s shows have some “extremely loyal followers” and people call from all over to make sure their travel plans align with a show. “They appreciate the quality of the artists that we bring in,” she said. “It’s an experience and fun. Some people come and stay for days for the events in Tarrytown. “They have a really great time. They buy things that have a story with them and they really enjoy that they’re made in America by the artists right in front of them.” Artrider has also demonstrated a social conscience by raising thousands of dollars for CERF+ (Craft Emergency Relief Fund + Artists’ Emergency Resources), the Guilford Art Center, the Westport Young Woman’s League and more than $3 million for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Chamber took part in a ribbon cutting for Artrider last year to open the Hudson Valley Arts Festival in Rhinebeck. “Being a part of the Chamber allows us to interact with people we wouldn’t necessarily interact with on a regular basis,” Kandel said. “It gives us a little more clout being a part of the Chamber.” Artrider Productions, P.O.

Optimum Window finds its niche market in Ellenville
Candido Perez, President & CEO of Optimum Windows, Ulster County 2012 Business of the Year
You know you’ve hit the big time when you’re called upon to install the doors and windows in a massive estate owned by an NFL star and his supermodel wife. Indeed, the Ellenville-based Optimum Window Manufacturing Corp. got a real kick out of doing the work on New England quarterback Tom Brady’s custombuilt, 14,000-square-foot mansion in Brentwood, Calif., owned by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen. There are almost too many windows to count in the sprawling estate, but it does boast everything from a gym, library, pool and up to six bedrooms, says www. nationalledger.com. “The mansion has all our products in it—all the windows and doors,” said Candido Perez, the founder and owner of Optimum Window, which has been operating in Ulster County since 1998. “We do quite a few homes like that out in
Montana, California and Colorado.” The family-owned business has more than made its mark as one of the largest and most diversified manufacturer of firerated windows in the United States. On top of that, the company features a series of custom, high-tech metal window and door systems designed for commercial, high-end residential and landmark applications, according to its website www.optimumwindow.com. “Everything we do is all custom-made,” Perez said. “It’s a different product than what anybody else would make. There are probably five or six manufacturers that make the product that we make.” Perez started Optimum in the Hunts Point industrial section of the Bronx in 1986 with just seven workers in a 20,000-square-foot building. Today he employs 65 in a 137,000-square-foot space. Just four years after starting Optimum, Perez moved the business to Warwick in Orange County and later to the former Schrade knife factory, where the entire Optimum product line is manufactured. As the head of the company, Perez keeps a watchful eye on his products and has exacting standards to ensure not only structural excellence, but beauty and style. Optimum continues to work with architects who require custom designs for their applications (like the Brady mansion) through the use of new computerized machinery for cutting, welding and punching. All products are custom-made per specifications and shop drawings. Having achieved such excellence, Optimum Windows is often featured in Architectural Digest magazines. And it’s not just high-end homes using Optimum’s products. Major retailers, universities, hospitals, municipal buildings and even maximumsecurity prisons are numbered among its growing client list. Though Optimum is based in Ellenville, it does most of its business outside the county, Perez said. “We do a lot of work in New York City and we ship throughout the country,” he said. Surprisingly, the past economic down-

“It’s a very good organization, and it’s been a pleasure working with the Chamber” – Candido Perez turn did not close the door on Optimum’s workflow, Perez added. “We kind of grew in the bad economy,” he said. “It didn’t really hurt us because everything we do is custom. It’s not like we’re making products to put in a warehouse or anything like that. Everything is sold before we make it.” Of course, it always helps when superstar athletes like Brady call on businesses such as Optimum—putting yet another notch in Perez’s cap. The businessman also is pleased to be part of the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce, which he views as a real window of opportunity for other companies similar to his. “It’s a very good organization, and it’s been a pleasure working with (the Chamber),” he said. The Chamber honored Optimum Window with its Business of the Year Award in 2012.

Wiltwyck has great new offers Continued from page 5 “A lot of clubs don’t allow their social members any access to the golf and we do,” Snyder said. Snyder said the restaurant has hosted several parties in recent weeks. “It’s almost like having an extended family,” he said. “You get to know the other members and they become close friends. It’s just a place where you can come and feel at home and feel that you’re part of something that’s just wonderfully beautiful. “The surroundings are beautiful. The facility itself is very well kept and just very nice. There’s a sense of family and everybody knows your name. Sort of like ‘Cheers,’ ” he said. Wiltwyck, founded in 1933, describes
itself as a member-owned and family oriented private club “offering complete facilities and programs for its members and their guests.” An elected board of directors sets policies for the club. Snyder said in the short time he has been in Ulster County he sees the Chamber as a good way to get the word out about your business and also meet other businesspeople. “The Chamber is a great networking source that brings all businesses together,” he said. “It’s a vital part of the community. I think it’s a resource that every business should be involved in.” Wiltwyck Golf Club, 404 Steward Lane in Kingston, can be reached at (845) 3310700 or www.wiltwyck.com.

HealthAlliance CEO: We will shrink jobs, others will add David Scarpino, speaking at the monthly breakfast of Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce
HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley is Ulster County’s largest employer, but changes in the way health care will be delivered in the future will mean fewer people actually working for the hospital. Does that mean a massive loss of jobs for the area? Not necessarily, David Scarpino, HealthAlliance’s CEO, told the monthly breakfast meeting of the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce on May 21. Scarpino outlined the massive changes in health care delivery, noting that, as one example, colonoscopies were once done exclusively in the hospital. Now many are done in a physician’s office. “That’s a slow transition over time,” Scarpino said. “Is the quality good? Yes. Is the convenience better? In a lot of cases, yes. Is the cost cheaper? Yes. That’s going to happen more and more.” The net result? “Hospital jobs will shrink,” Scarpino said. “Perimeter jobs will increase.” Earlier in his remarks, Scarpino asked for a show of hands from those working in other areas of the health care delivery system. Those businesses will take up the slack as U.S. hospitals are actually incentivized to keep people out of the hospital. “Physician offices will employ more people,” Scarpino said. “Health care agencies will employ more people. “They’re going to have to take care of all the patients who no longer come to the hospital. So there’s a reduction and there’s a growth. I can’t tell you that it’s one-forone because I don’t know the answer to that yet, but there’s going to be a shift.” Scarpino said those are not the only changes coming for HealthAlliance, which is also busy searching for an affiliate partner. “We’ve talked to some potential partners in the past and we continue,” he said. “That list has now grown to six.” Scarpino said HealthAlliance has spoken with HealthQuest, Albany Medical Center, St. Peter’s Health Partners, Westchester Medical Center, Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System.
HealthQuest officials were at the breakfast and were acknowledged by Scarpino. “Everybody is looking for a partner,” he said. “Any hospital who tells you they’re not, they’re not telling you the truth. “We believe the coming world will be hinged on affiliations.” Scarpino said affiliating with another system is not as easy as it might seem. “Do we get everything we need? The right doctors? The right regionalization of care? The right capital? The right quality? If we can provide all of those, then we’ve made the right decision for this community because our job in the future is to provide good, quality care.” HealthAlliance, a consolidation of Kingston and Benedictine hospitals, has decided on a single-campus solution, but which one is still up in the air and will eventually be decided by the new affiliate partner. During a discussion of HealthAlliance’s collaborative partners in the community, Scarpino said the decision by Ulster County to sell the Golden Hill Health Care Center was the right one. “At the end of the day, that was a good decision because it put it into the hands of folks who are now working collaboratively with the hospitals,” Scarpino said, explaining that the hospital often sends patients to Golden Hill to avoid fees for readmitting some clients. The change away from “volume” is a dramatic change for HealthAlliance and other hospitals, Scarpino said. “We’re expected to change the way we deliver health care,” he said. “Volume will go down and it will be a profound shift.” The May 21 presentation was Scarpino’s first appearance as a Chamber breakfast speaker. He took over as president and CEO last July after serving as HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley’s chief financial officer. He previously was Kingston Hospital’s senior vice president of finance and CFO. Scarpino spent 27 years at St. John’s Riverside Hospital System in Yonkers, N.Y., before joining HealthAlliance.

Agreement will keep jobs local HRV Resorts, town have signed deal The Town of Rosendale and Hudson River Valley Resorts (HRVR), developers of the Williams Lake Project (WLP), have signed a groundbreaking local sourcing agreement. The agreement seeks to ensure the project’s economic benefits remain local by giving preference for jobs, contracts and vendors to Hudson Valley residents. “It’s a benefit to the community,” said Project Manager Tim Allred. “It’s a benefit of the project when the economic benefits stay close to home.” The WLP is a proposed $200 million sustainable resort, spa and housing community to be constructed on the grounds of the former Williams Lake Hotel property in Rosendale. The project consists of a 130-room LEED hotel, 17,000-square-foot LEED spa, fitness center, wellness center, and 154 homes. The project completed its State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) in July of last year and is slated to begin construction in 2015. The Town Board of Rosendale voted unanimously to approve the proposed local sourcing agreement on May 14. The Town and WLP have been crafting this agreement for over a year, as no existing example of such an agreement could be found by the Town or the developer. “I expect other towns in New York State will be using this unique agreement as the model for local sourcing in the future,” said town attorney Mary Lou Christiana. In keeping with the WLP’s commitment to sustainability and the community, the local sourcing agreement codifies commitments and sets forth clear goals and oversight to achieve them. Under the terms of the agreement, local is defined as the Hud-
son Valley, with “preferences for procurement” given to Rosendale first, Ulster County second, and the Hudson Valley third. Targets for local procurement of employees, contractors, materials and vendors are 75 percent, which will guarantee jobs, spending and tax revenue will stay within the Hudson Valley. The target for contractors for the commercial components of the development, such as the hotel and spa, is 50 percent. This target is lower due to the fact there are fewer local companies equipped to handle certain aspects of larger construction jobs. A minimum of 25 percent is assured for union participation in the hotel construction. “As a local leader in union labor, I have rarely seen such a commitment to local labor, both union and non-union. Getting it in writing is practically unheard of,” said Councilman Ken Hassett, a professional union negotiator. Allred said buying products close to home would save on transportation costs and help the environment. “The storyline from where I sit is I think it’s great that organizations like the Ulster Chamber are focusing on Buy Local campaigns,” Allred said. “The Williams Lake Project is committed to doing development differently,” Allred said. “This local sourcing agreement makes
good on our commitments to bring quality jobs and real economic benefits to the residents of Rosendale, Ulster County and the surrounding area.” Meanwhile, before construction begins on the new Williams Lake Resort, the owners of Hudson River Valley Resorts (HRVR) will make the lake available to the Rosendale and Ulster County communities while they continue to lack a public swimming option at the Rosendale Pool. The Town of Rosendale has been working for the last two years to raise funds from state and private funders, in addition to many local fundraising events, for the rebuilding of the pool, and anticipates it may reopen as soon as the summer of 2015. “We are close to our goal and look forward to starting construction the new pool soon. We are also grateful to the Williams Lake Project for offering our area residents a place to swim, while continuing to help us in our remaining fundraising efforts,” said Supervisor Jeanne Walsh. Public swimming at the Williams Lake beach will be open with lifeguard supervision Fridays through Sundays from July 4 to Sept. 1 from noon to 7 p.m. Day use fees will be $10 for adults and $6 for kids, with a discounted “sunset rate” for entry after 5 p.m. The Town of Rosendale will
co-sponsor the Summer Swim weekends with the Williams Lake Project, and all net profits from admission fees and sponsorships will be donated to the Rosendale Pool fund. Allred said, “As a father of two young children who loved the Rosendale pool, I appreciate how hard it has been for the community since the pool closed several summers ago. We are pleased to once again offer Williams Lake to the town for public swimming and to help the town raise funds to repair the pool. We hope the community will enjoy a last hurrah before the old hotel comes down and we prepare for an exciting new chapter at Williams Lake.”
