the area of Crescent Avenue and Palazzo
Lane in Clintondale have filed numerous
complaints with the Plattekill Police
Department and voiced their concerns to
the Town Board about ongoing issues of
loud music, traffic congestion, firework
displays and repeated trespassing in
their neighborhood from weddings
that have been held at Liberty View
Farm. According to Police records, the
farm is located at 340 Crescent Venue
in Clintondale and is being leased to
Billiam von Rostenberg. Residents have
continually stated that these loud events
have negatively impacted their lives,
especially on weekends. Despite having
known about the problems at this farm
for years, the Town Board has not limited

venue.

of hostilities between the Allies and
Germany in WWI. The peace went into
effect (Paris time) on the eleventh hour
of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month in 1918. The day was later named
Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all
members in the military.
Vietnam Veteran Thomas Schroeder
welcomed everyone to the service at the
Veterans Memorial in Marlboro.
American Legion members Tom

Memorial.
Schroeder began by reading a letter
from commanding officer A.E. Jones of
the U.S.S. Roosevelt, the Department of
the Navy.

gratitude to all the Veterans from New
