Clarkstown Has Lots to Offer this Summer by Supervisor George Hoehmann

Summer is in full swing in Clarkstown. We pride ourselves in offering a wide variety of quality programs and events that are great for residents of all ages and family friendly. From concerts, to camps, to special events, pools, and more, we offer it all.

First, let’s cover the ways we can all stay cool this summer. I’m talking about the three pools that Clarkstown residents can enjoy. Residents can register for a seasonal pool pass or pay by the day to enjoy three state of the art pools. Congers Pool is the smallest of the three and is located at Congers Lake Memorial Park. Before or after you take a dip in the pool, you can also enjoy the walkway around Congers Lake and various athletic activities, such as our basketball and tennis courts.

Germonds Pool is located in West Nyack and contains a main pool, diving pool, and kiddie pool with zero entry and sprinklers. Germonds Park also houses a mini golf course, baseball fields, playgrounds, basketball courts and a shaded picnic area.

Our largest pool is Lake Nanuet, which is a quiet setting with many amenities. Please check out the www.clarkstown.org for more details about pool hours and passes.

We are also continuing the tradition of our summer concert series. This year’s Family Music Festival will feature a wide variety of family concert artists and groups. These concerts are a great opportunity for families to reconnect with each other and link generations to each other through music.

August 6th—Germonds Park—7:30pm— The Nerds are coming back! Enjoy an evening of laughs and the seriously fun musicianship of this very popular, Jersey Shore-based band.

August 14th—Germonds Park—7:30pm— The Cameos will bring you back by playing the oldies.

I do hope you bring out your family or your friends and take some time to enjoy one or more of these great concerts! Check https://town.clarkstown.ny.us/ for more details. Go to the Town website and Facebook page for more details and to learn about other future events.

Frozen Toilet During Extreme Cold? What Homeowners Should and Shouldn’t Do

Rockland Report Admin

With freezing temperatures expected across Rockland County, Fire and Emergency Services is reminding residents to take steps to prevent frozen and burst pipes, which can cause significant property damage and even lead to fires.

Officials recommend allowing faucets to drip slightly, especially overnight, to keep water moving through pipes. Residents should also open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.

Fire and Emergency Services advises keeping homes heated to at least 55 degrees, even when away, and insulating exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, and garages. Residents are warned never to use open flames or unsafe heating devices to thaw frozen pipes.

If a pipe does freeze, officials recommend using a hair dryer or warm air to thaw it safely. Torches or other open-flame methods should never be used. A frozen toilet is inconvenient, but rushing the fix can turn a minor problem into major damage. Slow, careful warming is the safest solution, and professional help should be sought if the issue persists.

In the event of a burst pipe or water emergency, residents are urged to shut off the water immediately and contact emergency services or a licensed professional if needed.

Officials remind residents to stay warm, stay safe, and take preventative steps to protect their homes during extreme cold weather.
