RFP for Landscape Work for Town Park, Pine Plains, New York

Project Representative: Town Beautification Committee Contact: Suzanne C. Ouellette, Suzanne.ouellette293@gmail.com

P.O. Box 409, Pine Plains, New York

Design Program: The town of Pine Plains is seeking bids for landscape work to improve the appearance, usefulness, and social benefit of our small town park at the corner of Routes 199 and 82, in the center of Pine Plains.

Key parts of the program are:

(1) The selection and installation of a large and slow growing evergreen tree that will serve as the centerpiece for our annual Holiday Parade of Lights event. It replaces a tree that needed to be taken down because it had gotten too big for the site. The tree needs to be approximately 12 to 14 feet in height.

(2) The addition of a cherry tree to the northeast section of the park (near the barber shop). This will join the two existing cherry trees now in the park. The new tree should be compatible with those, probably with a caliper of 4 to 4.5 inches.

(3) The installation of four perennial beds as shown on site map.

(4) Installation of three shrub groupings - between new cherry tree and barber shop building, to left and right of park entrance at south west corner of park

(5) For all of the above, proper preparation of soil with screened topsoil, compost, and mulch (all delivered)

 (6) Laying down of sod for open areas in the park plan

KENT — Democratic U.S. Congresswoman Jahana Hayes began her community meeting May 27 with optimism. Speaking before a large crowd at the Community House, she said, “I don’t want people to think the sky is falling and we’re losing our democracy.”

She said she was there to hear from those in attendance, but first made a quick comment about how Congress spent so much time debating President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” Mention of the legislation brought loud boos from the audience. “Every day we realize how egregious it is,” she said.

“I would say if you are thinking about doing the program, do it because you get out of your comfort zone and learn so many things...” —Charlie Castellanos

Every year, Housatonic Valley Regional High School welcomes foreign exchange students to attend classes through the AFS Intercultural Programs. This school year, two students traveled to Northwest Connecticut to immerse themselves in American life and culture. Allegra Ferri, a 17-year-old from Italy, and 16-year-old Charlie Castellanos from Colombia sat down to reflect on their experience at HVRHS. As the academic year is coming to an end, they shared a few highlights of their time in the U.S. and offered advice to prospective exchange students.

What has been your favorite part of your exchange experience?

Allegra: “My favorite part of this exchange year was coming here and experiencing an American high school.”
