Chinese Students Visit Clarkstown

Clarkstown Town Hall’s auditorium was filled last week with visiting students from China interested in how local government works. The students are pictured here with Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci, who spoke about what the duties of a Town Clerk are and Clarkstown Code & Zoning Enforcement Officer Joel Epstein, who spoke about code enforcement issues. Chinese students have been visiting Clarkstown’s Town Hall as part of an annual tour of the United States.

Remarkable Exhibit

The other day I had the good fortune of experiencing one of the Historical Society of Rockland County’s exhibits titled, “Sports in Rockland County: 100 Years of Cheers.” It was amazing to see the vintage sports equipment, memorabilia and rare photographs. One of the many photographs that was very exciting to see was of baseball legend Babe Ruth, practicing right here in Haverstraw. The employees and volunteers at the Historical Society of Rockland County did an extraordinary job collecting all of the material and presenting it in such a fun and imaginative way. Walking through the exhibit, it is easy to envision what the cheers must have been like 100 years ago. I recommend to anyone that is interested in the History of our county to take a trip to the Historical Society of Rockland to see this remarkable exhibit.
