Beekman Park sidewalk project stalled after DOT halts work

Orange safety cones mark off the incomplete sections of sidewalk along Route 44 in Amenia near the entrance of Beekman Park.

Amenia Town Supervisor Rosanna Hamm first disclosed the stoppage at an April 1 Town Board meeting. She said the matter is being handled by the town’s attorney, and it’s still unclear what the next steps will be, but she holds out hope that the work will resume soon.

Area equestrians support Ancram family after home fire

Area equestrians support Ancram family after home fire

HYDE PARK, N.Y. — Dutchess County’s equestrian community is coming together next month to support an Ancram horse trainer’s family after a fire destroyed their home in late March.

After an April fire destroyed the Ancram home of Kristy and Ronan Moloney, the waves of shock and support came from friends, neighbors, and large circles of horse owners in Dutchess County. The fire triggered a mass response from community members across southern Columbia and Dutchess County. A GoFundMe for the family has raised over $120,000, but the support didn’t stop there. The equestrian community has announced a charity competition to raise more funds. It’s set for June 7 at Netherwood Acres in Hyde Park.

MILLBROOK — Technology and tradition are often at odds. But on John Merryman’s Millbrook property, they have coalesced. Familiar sights remain: The knees of his jeans are spattered with mud after a morning planting grass seed. The tires of his solar-powered farm cart are similarly smudged. It’s just another day tending to the various needs of Merryfield Farm, Merryman’s Millbrook horse farm.

Merryman purchased the property in 2022, seeking to turn aging stables into a haven for his passions. Since then, he’s turned the property into a home for his tech business and his horses.
