BEAUTIFYING THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Above is a picture of Larry Tabor, who has been working at beautifying Oak Tree Road near Horne Tooke Road. He has planted pear and apple trees, blueberry and strawberry bushes and lots of tulip bulbs. He has incurred the cost for this and of course the labor to clear the area and plant. He lives on Horne Tooke Road with his wife, Catherine and their daughter, Logan.

PALIS-AGERS TO MEET FOR PICNIC
The next meeting of the Palis-Agers is set
for Thursday, May 20, at 12 noon in the Community
Room of the Palisades Presbyterian
Church. Bring your lunch — we will supply
coffee and perhaps cookies. It will give us a
chance to tell stories, to talk about life in general
and to make plans for next year.
FROM THE POST OFFICE
Have you noticed that the April showers
indeed bring out spring flowers? The Post Office
will soon have a varied selection of stamps
that will indeed let us know that at last it’s
spring. At the end of April come in to purchase
some interesting stamps while supplies last.
Subu and Karen are eager to help you. Remember
that the Palisades Post Office is here
to provide excellent customer service and to
assist in your mailing needs.
PANTHER WATCH
On February 14 Al Perlmutter, who lives
on Corbett Lane, saw the panther cub — now
almost full size — silhouetted against the snow
and crossing the steps that lead down from his
house to the river. On March 14 Danny Lehrecke
and his daughter Nina saw the panther
again, in the same area by the Hudson. On
March 20 Danny was kayaking in the marsh
when he surprised the animal, which bounded
up the cliff into Tallman Park.
Early on the morning of April
9 Fred Little was awakened
by several loud, guttural cries,
coming from Tallman Park,
close to the Gerard-Little
house. The Panther Patrol is
still hoping to get a picture of
the elusive creature, but has
had no success.
If you have a sighting, try
to take a picture, and e-mail
Pantherhotline@gmail.com. All
leads are investigated and the
cameras continue to be monitored.
Eyewitnesses should
also call S. O. Police Department Detective
Maher at 359-3730.
There have been many reports of a scrawny,
sickly looking fox throughout Palisades. It was
found dead outside a house on Ludlow Lane
the morning of April 12.
PALISADES MARKET OPEN
The Palisades Market, which opened April
9, is full of tempting food and drinks to buy,
including pastry from Didier Dumas and
breads from Balthazar. There is an attractive
patio in back where you can sit and enjoy your
purchases. The Market is open from 7AM to
7PM. Check it out.
ROBERT ADZEMA SHOW
New watercolors of the Piermont Marsh by
Robert Adzema will be exhibited during the
month of May at Bunbury’s Coffee Shop in
Piermont. Bunbury’s is open every day.
