Some 3,500 multi-colored brochures have been produced at a cost of about $13,000. County Executive David Bruen said copies will be provided real estate people and it is planned to distribute most of the brochures outside of the county. « The promotional material was prepared by the Putnam County Division of Planning and Development, Martin St. Martin Ltd., and the Putnam County Economic Development Commission headed by former Putnam Valley Supervisor Frank Tansey. Claire Cox of the Putnam Alliance also contributed to the project, said County Planner John Lynch. Funding for production of the brochures came from the Balance of State Private Industry Council, Inc., the Putnam Alliance and the County of Putnam. Lynch said the project was in the works for about a year, and the first brochure proposed was rejected by the Economic Development Council. The private consultants, Martin St. Martin, designed and packaged the brochure, Lynch said. Chambers of Commerce and town governments in Putnam will get \a couple of copies\ of the brochure, but all will be asked to refer questions to the County Planning Department, Bruen said. Swimming champ now in Florida Freestyle swimmer Jennifer Kirrstetter of Brewster has moved to Florida so she can train under former Olympian Jack Nelson, who coaches at Fort Lauderdale High School and at the Fort Laudersale Swim Club.

The Kirrstetter family has moved to Florida so Jennifer can train there and expect to remain in the south until she completes high school.

Photo by EGO Committee approves nuclear waste law . i •• • • * *. -*•)' * * • • • •« The Health, Social and Educational Services Committee of the Putnam County Legislature this week approved a local law to require prior notification to the county of transportation of nuclear waste through Putnam. Residents favoring such a measure have been working to convince the Legislature to take such action for nearly 2 years. Chairman Joseph Percacciolo of the committee said the proposed local law will be presented to the full Legislature for adoption at its end of the year meeting in December. The proposed law provides that the Putnam County Sheriffs Office must be notified, by a carrier planning to transport nuclear waste through the county, at least 10 days prior to the shipment entering the county. Under the proposal, the sheriff would then forward a copy of such notice to the director of Putnam County Environmental Health Services and to the county's director of emergency preparedness. If the notice meets requirements of the local law, the environmental health services director then will issue a permit to the shipper, authorizing transportation of nuclear waste through the county during a specified time period. The proposed law excludes transportation of nuclear waste by rail and transportation of nuclear waste to be used for medical, medical research, military or national defense purposes, from provisions of the law. The law provides that any carrier who violates any provision of the local law shall be guilty of a violation and shall be subject to a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000 for each violation of the law. The law would take effect 45 days after it is filed with the secretary of state, following its adoption by the Legislature.

Nab city pair using rifles A father and son from Jackson Heights were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Al Villani on Nov. 27 on charges of hunting in Putnam County with high powered rifles. Deputy Villani said he went to Foundry Dam Rd. in Philipstown to investigate a complaint of hunters trespassing on private property. The deputy said when he arrived, he found Joseph Crispino, 52, and his 16-year-old son hunting in a wooded area off Foundry Dam Rd. Mr. Crispino was found to be in possession of another person's hunting license and also was in possession of a rifle that had been reported stolen, Deputy Villani reported. Crispino was remanded to the Putnam County Jail without bail, the Sheriffs Office reported. His son was remanded to the jail in lieu of $1,000 bail, the Sheriff's Office said. He got his deer, then he lost it Robert Schluensen came from Greenwich, Ct., to go deer hunting, and he shot a deer in the Patterson-Pawling area Nov. 23. Schluensen told Brewster State Police he gutted the animal, placed it on his truck, and headed toward home. Then later he noticed the deer was no longer in the truck. Troopers said Schluensen said the deer apparently fell off his truck somewhere between Rte. 22 in Brewster and the Westchester County Airport. The hunter drove back the way he had come, but no deer was to be found, he reported. Schluensen reportedly checked with Brewster state troopers to find out if anyone had reported finding his deer, to no avail. He then asked about getting a new hunting tag so he could seek another deer, but was told it was only 1 to a hunter, troopers said. State to erect new guide rails Syro Steel Co. of Girard, Ohio, has been awarded & state contract for $115,675 for installation and replacement of guide rails along Rte. 22 in North Salem, Southeast and Patterson.
