Our Family

Married to Barbara, a Registered Nurse for many years; recently retired from nursing to teach private piano lessons. We have two daughters Tracey and MaryKate, both of whom graduated from Ichabod Crane Central School. We have three grand daughters, JaimeLynn, Courtney, Abby and a grand son, Colby Douglas. We are communicants of St. Johns Roman Catholic Church in Valatie where we taught Sunday school for 7 years. I am a past member of the Parish Council.

Doug's Future Plans - reasons to continue

“I would like to continue the work we have begun: finishing the sidewalks and trails, obtaining solar power, starting a ‘Dog Run’, Community Garden and creating a Youth Center. With two new Town Board members, Todd and Helen I am sure the progress will continue. With our volunteers and a little stimulus money we can do it all.”

Experience
&
Accomplishments

This term, the Town completed the much needed highway garage, a worthy addition to pictured facilities.

None of these facilities and structures existed before this Administration.

Future Plans and Activities

We are now working on a

- Dog Run:

- a young adult center;

- a community garden

- obtaining solar power for three of our buildings.

The solar power is an incremental step of creating a Kinderhook Power Authority.

The real challenge will be continue accomplishments without past revenue streams like sales tax and mortgage recording taxes. With our volunteers and a little stimulas money we can do it all. With new talent from new people like Helen Schneider and Todd DiGrigoli, I am confident we can move forward in these financially times.
