U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson (R-N.Y. 20) was in Poughkeepsie Thursday to brief Dutchess County officials on the status of FEMA’s efforts in the wake of September’s Tropical Storm Irene.
The meeting was held at the Emergency Response Center on Creek Road in Poughkeepsie.
Gibson was joined by County Executive Marc Molinaro and other officials, including Commissioner of Public Works Charlie Traver and Director of Emergency Response Dana Smith.
Gibson and Molinaro both discussed the progress being made in the field as well as the pace of federal reimbursement to communities affected by the September storm.
Gibson said 32 worksheets had been presented to FEMA by Dutchess County and were being addressed.
“Reimbursement is clearly the biggest issue. We have been helped by a mild winter, which has taken some of the financial burden off local communities waiting for federal assistance,” said Gibson.

Foodies in the Hudson Valley turned off Paula Dean, put away the cream cheese and went to the CIA this past weekend for the Bocuse d’Or U.S.A., the preeminent cooking competition in America.
The winner of the four-team competition was chef Richard Rosendale, the executive chef at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., and his commis (assistant), Corey Siegel.
Rosendale, a certified master chef who has competed in over 40 international culinary competitions, bested three other talented finalists: chef Jeffrey Lizotte (On20, Hartford, Conn.), who took the silver; chef William Bradley (Le Cordon Bleu, Cambridge, Mass.), who took the bronze; and chef Danny Cerqueda (Carolina Country Club, Raleigh, N.C.), who placed fourth.
Rosendale and Spiegel will now begin one year of training to represent America at the international Bocuse d’Or in Lyon, France in January 2013.

Jesse D’Attore is a senior at Rhinebeck High School and part of an exchange program where local students travel to Rheinbach, Germany and their German counterparts travel here.
Jesse is scheduled to accompany his friends on the trip to Germany, but has one problem. He suffers from hearing loss and requires a chaperone to make the trip with him. The cost for airfare and travel expenses is $1,500 for the chaperone.
That’s where the good folks at CJ’s Italian Restaurant in Rhinebeck come in.
This Saturday, CJ’s is hosting a wing-ding of a fundraiser at the restaurant to raise the money necessary to send Jesse on his way. Full story in print.
