With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching this week, people are preparing to thaw turkeys and remind themselves where they put that dang recipe for grandma’s cranberry sweet potato with walnut stuffing cornbread. Well, maybe not. A few other things are certain though.
Tuxedo Police Chief Patrick W. Walsh especially wishes to congratulate and warmly thank all the “unpaid professionals” of the Tuxedo Fire District and Tuxedo Volunteer Ambulance Corps for their actions, community outreach and response to the needs of the town in a time of crisis.
Monday night the students at George F. Baker High School proudly presents their fall production of the musical All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten at 7 p.m. at the school’s auditorium. The show will be the last performance so go on and get a ticket.

Another piece of Tuxedo news is the new bus shelter going up at Tuxedo Square that, when finished, will be nice enough to pull up a chair and hang out for awhile. Plans for the new bus shelter can be found at the town’s website and look very 
much like a nice comfy micro house. Sloatsburg, take note. As a semi-rural community, the village sure could use some interesting signage or at least faux folksy structures that give the village character.
The demolition of the existing bus shelter across from the Train Station is scheduled for Monday, November 19, 2012, with construction of a new-and-improved shelter commencing shortly thereafter. Completion is expected within 60 to 90 days.
The work area will be cordoned off, and may cause some temporary inconvenience for pedestrian traffic.
On another note, Town of Tuxedo Police Chief Patrick W. Walsh sent out a special message extending extend his sincere appreciation and thanks to all of the Tuxedo police officers who served so well under tough conditions right after Hurricane Sandy. Walsh especially wishes to congratulate and warmly thank all the “unpaid professionals” of the Tuxedo Fire District and Tuxedo Volunteer Ambulance Corps for their actions, community outreach and response to the needs of the town in a time of crisis.
To all of the them Police Chief Walsh said “I am so proud of them and honored to serve with them.”
One last note, the Town of Tuxedo environmental consultant, Land Use Ecological Survey, Inc., published its report to the Town Board concerning the testing of Four Corners Pond, Warwick Brook, and the surrounding area. The official word is that, yes indeed, that big ‘ole mulch pile on Long Meadow Road in Sterling Forest Park appears to be the culprit of environmental contamination. “It is most likely that the Town wood chipping facility has been the source of additional nutrients and organic matter that have caused the eutrophic and oxygen depleted conditions in Caretakers Marsh and upper reaches of the south branch of Warwick Brook,” reads the report, which also states that the breaching of beaver ponds in March may have contributed to the fish kill.
