RHINEBECK — Town officials on Monday reviewed common property tax exemptions that have March 1 deadlines and are considered to be underutilized by residents.
The informational meeting was conducted by town Supervisor Tom Traudt and members of the assessor’s office.
“We’re here to reach any part of the population that don’t know about exemptions in general,” said Donna VanVoorhis, an aide in the assessor.
“A lot of people think that the STAR exemption is only for older people and that’s not true,” she said. “A lot of people think that the enhanced exemption is the only ‘older person’ exemption out there; that’s not true. A lot of people don’t realize that there’s a Cold War portion of the Veterans Exemption because that’s new last year.”

WOODSTOCK — The Tinker Street Cinema will reopen Friday under new management, as well as a fresh coat of paint and perhaps some new carpeting.
The theater will be run under the umbrella of the Rhinebeck-based nonprofit Upstate Films, which has begun leasing the building, according to Dede Leiber, co-director of Upstate Films.
Longtime owners Nancy and Cyrus Adler will continue to own the Woodstock theater that was once a Methodist Church, but will not remain involved with day-to-day operations.

Rhinebeck Rotary, known for its “service above self” motto, recently hosted Elaine Trumpetto, M.A., who is the Executive Director from the Council on Addiction Prevention and Education of Dutchess County, Inc. at its weekly luncheon. CAPE has been providing school-based and community substance abuse prevention, education and counseling services to the youth and families of Dutchess County since 1987.
CAPE has been working with the Rhinebeck and Red Hook schools to form coalitions to help examine their community prevention needs. Cape is the facilitator for the Eastern Dutchess Coalition. Prevention surveys are nearly complete in these school districts. The data received from the survey will guide the coalition in the development of future prevention programming in Eastern Dutchess.
Though funding is down from municipal, state, and federal entities due to the economy, the challenges to help addictions in our community have never been greater. If you would like to volunteer or have any questions, please contact Elaine Trumpetto of CAPE at 845-471-0914.
