"BLACK SMOKE is an inspirational true story of one woman's struggle with breast cancer and her courageous journey of healing, adventure, romance, and self discovery.  Margaret De Wys shares her physical and emotional transformation as she discovers a different perception of wellness and wholeness in the depths of the Amazon.  What emerges is a revealing chronicle of discovery, as well as a trenchant exploration of the limits of idealism."

Tonight at Rhinebeck Village Hall the Town Board will hold a workshop session to discuss the draft scope and cost of a Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) to the Comp Plan. This workshop will begin at approximately 7:30 pm, immediately following an Executive Session.

The Rhinecliff Hamlet Advisory Council has submitted a statement on this SGEIS (click on attachment at bottom of this post), as have about 40 other area residents and organizations.  This session may or may not include an opportunity for public comment.

Rhinecliff residents are nevertheless encouraged to attend if possible, as turnout will remind the Board of the intense interest in the Hamlet on the subjects of the proposed 200 units of senior housing at Holy Cross, and the proposed 49-unit Hamlet Extension on the north side of Rhinecliff.
