April 30th 2020, This IS Newburgh from Ruedi Hofmann on Vimeo.

Sadly, Ruedi Hofmann, Ann Stratton, and their family is leaving Newburgh. They have done some amazing projects while they were here, one of my favorites being Pivotal Newburgh. Their neighbors are going to miss them too. On April 30th they got a text from their neighbor. This video shows what followed.

In Ruedi’s words, “What else is so amazing to see in the video, in this little group there is such tremendous diversity of age, religion, race, gender identity. Amazing and wonderful. God, we will forever miss what we have found in Newburgh.”

Next Wednesday, April 24th at noon a new tree will be planted in front of the Newburgh Flour Shop Bakery. This is in collaboration with the Conservation Advisory Council, DPW, and Liberty Street business owners.

A nice Kwanzan Cherry Tree from Orange Nursery has been selected by CAC. In an effort to fill in some of the empty tree pits in our burgeoning business corridor we are trying to add urban plantings that are vital for complete streets and neighborhoods. In the fall, the tree that came down during the tornado last year will be grinded down and a new one will be planted in its place.

We would welcome your attendance. Make sure to take a stop by during the April 27th Spring into Newburgh Last Saturday event!

A new bench has been installed outside Palate Wine Shop to remember late Newburgh resident, Tony DiBenedetto. The fund was created by Yakoov Sullivan and installed by Atlas Industries.

“Those who frequent Liberty Street in Newburgh knew Tony Di Benedetto … whether it was seeing him at Caffe Macchiato for breakfast, lunch at Ms. Fairfax or sitting in Palate Wines and Spirits, where he and I had many wonderful conversations.

As he walked down Liberty Street, Tony greeted everyone and was interested in hearing what we were doing. He was an artist, a graduate of Pratt Institute and a resident of Madrid, Spain for 36 years before coming to Newburgh. Tony was a man of many talents and tales. We all loved him.

In his memory, a bench, based on one from El Retiro Park in Madrid, has been made by Atlas Industries of Newburgh and will be installed in front of Palate Wine and Spirits at 115 Liberty Street. It will provide a place for his many friends to rest and smile as we think back on the life of this remarkable man.”
