It's been a part of the Mid-Hudson Valley skyline since the 1880's and when the "Poughkeepsie Highland Railroad Bridge" opened it was nicknamed "Great Hope". Well now the bridge has great hope once again. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a $1 million grant for the Walkway Over the Hudson project. The bill still needs to pass the full Senate. The money would be used to transform the bridge into the world's largest pedestrian bridge.  The money would be availalble just in time for next year's celebration marking the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage up the river. Trains first started crossing the bridge in 1889, nearly 20 years after construction started. At that time it was the only bridge over the Hudson River. The bridge was in constant use until 1974, when a fire... 07/11/2008

Here's to you Mom's (and Dad's) who do it all! I was a first generation "Soccer Mom". When I was a child there were no sports for girls in my hometown of Highland NY..urgh! I wanted  so badly to play baseball- The closest I came was on the playground at recess- The boys would let me back up the catcher to get the "get away balls". So when I had daughters and they were able to play softball, soccer and CYO basketball starting at age 8- I was thrilled. I was a stay at home mom so I was recruited to COACH! So, I bought books and videos and attended training. It was the best of times. Today, my oldest granddaughters are following in thier Mom's footsteps- They are really great soccer players. Times have changed though, when Heather, my oldest daughter, was their age the girls went from seas... 05/19/2008
