Crook, probably overseas, hijacks data, scams email contacts
ANCRAM--Town Clerk Monica Cleveland took a few days off last week. At the July Town Board meeting she announced her plans to stay close to home and maybe take some day trips with her family.
That's why it came as quite a shock to many people who know Mrs. Cleveland when they received an email from her last Friday saying she was in the United Kingdom and in dire need of financial help.

TAGHKANIC--When David Fingar, an engineer representing Mid-Hudson Cablevision, asked the Taghkanic Town Board at its July 7 meeting if he could install an amplifying station and emergency generator on town land currently occupied by the town garage, he did not expect a negative reaction.
He was, after all, offering cable to a community that had long ago given up hope that such a thing would ever happen, though service had recently begun to expand. Last year he oversaw the installation of seven miles of cable along Livingston Road in the hamlet of West Taghkanic, so some in the audience and on the board must have been aware of his company's service.

The hearing is now rescheduled for August 16, because Village Attorney Nelson R. Alford Jr. announced at the regularly scheduled Planning Board meeting that evening that Stewart's must first notify the owners of adjoining properties of the company's pans and the hearing.
