ART SALE — The Cold Spring Fire Co. hosted a reception for George Stevenson, a longtime village resident who lives at the New York State Veterans Home in Montrose, at the firehouse on Nov. 8.

HONORING LORI — A new outdoor classroom at Haldane High School was dedicated last month in memory of Lori Isler, a longtime elementary teacher at the school who died in 2018. “Lori’s classroom and her old parking spot can be seen from here,” said her sister, Jeanne Maletz. “It’s the perfect spot.” (Photo by Giannina Ortiz)
