Fleischmanns

You can “go wild” with hikes into history this summer as five of the Catskills’ most fabled villages and hamlets offer historic walking tours starting with Fleischmanns on Memorial Day weekend, then Margaretville, New Kingston, Andes and concluding in Roxbury on Labor Day weekend.

Photos and memorabilia from the Village of Fleischmanns are featured in a new exhibit at the Middletown Town Hall.

A long kept secret is now a world famous work of art! For decades, artist Alfredo Santos told no one of his major artistic achievement; including the years during his residence in Fleischmanns in the 1970s.  Recently, however, Santos has been receiving worldwide recognition for the murals he painted in the cafeteria of the San Quentin State Prison.

Linda Augustine is the newest member of the sales team at Belleayre Realty. She joins Patty Kelly, Al Tanzer and Melissa Pacheco on the staff of the Fleischmanns-based real estate firm.
Linda comes to Belleayre Realty from Rosemount Real Estate in Pine Hill, where she assisted buyers and sellers for the last six years.

Six communities along Route 28 will soon have $500,000 in “smart growth” funds available to be used toward capital projects.
The funding was included as part of the recently adopted New York State budget. Communities that have committed to participate in this Catskill corridor initiative include the townships of Andes, Middletown, Shandaken and Olive, plus the villages of Fleischmanns and Margaretville.

An April 21 public hearing in Fleischmanns became a rancorous affair when a water storage tank—part of comprehensive project to improve the village’s water system—drew criticism from residents while being defended by village trustees.
The tank, which would be placed on the property of Arnold and Roslyn Bernstein off Paradise Camp Road, was described by Delaware Engineering as an emergency storage facility, as opposed to being a source necessary to the normal demands of the village, even during times of peak usage.

 

The third annual Team Trivia Challenge was held on April 19 at The Hilt Kelly Hall in Roxbury. Eleven teams vied to place in the categories of two- and four-person teams.
