Clarkstown police reporting to a one-vehicle accident at 1:45 a.m. Saturday arrested Kevin Blair of Pomona. When they investigated the accident at Main Street and Zukor Road in New City, they found a 2000 Mercedes-Benz located 100 feet from roadway in the woods.  Police reported Blair, 34 years old, appeared to be intoxicated and was administered field sobriety tests, which he failed.  Police placed him under arrest and took him police headquarters where he submitted to a Breathalyzer test, which he also failed. Blair was charged with driving while intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle with .08 of 1% or more of alcohol, both misdemeanors.  He was released on an appearance ticket returnable to Clarkstown Justice Court on October 10.

On Sunday at approximately 1:45 a.m., an officer observed a 1998 Toyota traveling on Route 304 North at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was stopped on Eastlyn Drive in Bardonia and the driver, Kevin Felter, was administered field sobriety tests, which he failed.  Felter, a 19 year old, from West Nyack was arrested and taken to headquarters where he submitted to a Breathalyzer test, which he also failed.  Felter was charged with driving while intoxicated, operating a motor vehicle with .08 of 1% or more of alcohol, reckless driving, which are misdemeanors, and several vehicle and traffic law violations.  He was released on an appearance ticket returnable to Clarkstown Justice Court on September 24.

Several hours later on Sunday morning at 4:20 a.m. an officer observed a 2010 Honda on Route 59 whose driver was committing numerous traffic offenses.  The vehicle driven by Katrina Marshall, 31, was stopped in the McDonalds parking lot in Nanuet.   Police reported Marshall of Pearl River had a strong smell of alcohol on her breath and was administered field sobriety tests in which she failed.  She was placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters where she submitted to a Breathalyzer test, which she also failed.  Marshall was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated because she was operating a motor vehicle with .18 of 1% or more of alcohol, driving while intoxicated, both misdemeanors and numerous vehicle and traffic law violations.  She was issued an appearance ticket returnable in Clarkstown Justice Court on September 12.

See...the problem with drunk driving is the part where they are released from police HQ's after being charged with misdemeanors and/or DAT's ( desk appearance ticket) . Spend a little time in county lock up instead of being detained for a couple of hours and some might see the light.

Good Job CPD your still behind Sheriffs Patrol for DUI/DWI. Are you guys getting better at spotting these types or is it just that many more on the streets? Everywhere
you look someone is getting caught. Again great job by all LEO's

Great job guys.
Now if the state would get off its collective butts and pass more stringent laws for DUI. Like some "reat" jail time, even for first offenders and especially for those under the age of 21. License revocation/suspension doesn't work.

The current laws are strict enough; the problem is their are not any programs where you can get a ride home if you drank too much.

Aerial of United Water's proposed water treatment plant
Tom Nimick June 11, 2013 at 09:23 pm
Mr. Pointing says that an issues conference is unusual. The unusual step is called for because thisRead More project is highly unusual; it is unprecedented. This French-owned water company wants to implement its pet technology at our expense - it makes sense for the company because the project makes lots of money. There is information available that calls into question the "definitive" studies carried out by the water company. Of course they found that their technology was the best option - what a surprise! They have not made the case that they carried out a disinterested examination of the issues in the public interest. Yes there are still issues. Also, stop threatening us with increased costs from delay. First, it does not make sense and second, you are trying to bully us into accepting your proposal. That is one more sign that something is wrong in your proposal.
John Taggart June 13, 2013 at 08:08 am
An issues conference will be a wast of time and money. So many ' issues ' have been pulled out ofRead More thin air. The people who organized against the plant will just keep saying the same thing. No amount of info will be enough, no answer will be accepted. The issues conference will be a circus of endless questions, ideas, and demands. Haverstraw bay reclassified as drinking water will better protect it, provide an endless supply of water and finally help end the stereotype of the Hudson being polluted Recommend

There were no open meetings. I attended the April meeting and Mr. Lettre was directed by the TownRead More Board to return with more precise estimates and to include options for other upgrades. I have attended every meeting of the Town Board since that time and Mr. Lettre never returned in an open meeting. Mr. Borelli indicated that Mr. Lettre had addressed his concerns directly and privately. According to the Open Meetings Law, the deliberations of the Town Board are to be open and visible to the public. Private individual meetings or communications with members of the Town Board so as to avoid open deliberations flouts the intent of the Open Meetings Law. Mr. Gromack's statement of other meetings is inaccurate and, since it was specifically in response to a question about open meetings, dishonest. Mr. Borelli, shame on you for accepting a private communication and not standing by your guidance to Mr. Lettre that he was to come back to an open meeting of the Town Board.

Cicadas emerging from their 17 year slumber.

Thanks for sharing, Grace! Your thoughts on their noise?
Grace Anthony Zemsky June 10, 2013 at 09:00 am
The traffic from the nearby Palisades Parkway is more of a noise nuisance than the cicada chorus.Read More (We have triple-paned windows because of it.) There is something almost musical about the hum of the cicadas. Of course, it may bother me more if I lived in the "affected area" and heard it constantly. Upon entering this nearby neighborhood, the sound crescendos. And yet, it can't be heard a couple of streets away. The drone of locusts is more bothersome than these 17 year cicadas.
