NARROWSBURG – The Upper Delaware Council (UDC) voted on May 6 to award a combined $4,408.43 to the Towns of Deerpark and Lumberland through its 2021 River and Shoreline Clean-up Grants.
Since initiating the grant program in 2014, the UDC has awarded $31,932.81 to participating member municipalities as an investment of the Council’s operating funds to help keep the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River and its banks pristine
The Town of Deerpark will focus efforts on the Hawk’s Nest area of the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway New York State Route 97, a much-photographed winding hillside route which offers sweeping views from 200 feet above the river.

BELLOWS FALLS â Two Vermont solar companies outlined similar but competing plans for a 2.2 megawatt solar array on the town-owned gravel pit in Bartonsville this week.
The Rockingham Select Board didnât make any decision Wednesday night, saying it might want to retain a portion of the gravel pit for unrelated highway maintenance operations, and it didnât know how much of the 44-acre parcel it would need.
The parcel is located between Route 103 and the Williams River, and adjacent to the former Vermont State Police barracks, which is now a truck-driving school.
At the April 13 regular meeting of the Candor Town Board, Kelly Starkweather and Bob Riggs were on hand to discuss more about what is needed to keep the Candor EMS in service for Candorâs residents.Â
First Riggs reviewed what they had talked about with the board at previous meetings. One of the points reviewed is that the Town Board will work in good faith to negotiate a contract with Candor EMS for the needed funds for at least next year (2022) with the expectation that the contract can be signed in the next few months.Â
 Supervisor Bill Strosahl talked about a possible public hearing in the next month or two and a mailer going out to residents to better explain the situation.
