NEW TRUSTEE — Chris Caccamise, an artist and teacher, is sworn in on Aug. 15 by Justice Dennis Zenz as a Nelsonville trustee. He succeeds Thomas Robertson, who resigned from the five-member board in June. Caccamise, 43, who has lived in the village for five years, teaches at the Allen-Stevenson School, a private boys’ school in New York City. His term runs through the next village election in the spring. (Photo by L.S. Armstrong)
