Wallkill committee seeks to raise
money for antique clock
Continued from page 1
While the eventual location of the clock
is still to be determined, the piece will
include a “In Memory Of” section on one
side of the base so donors can honor their
loved ones. Another space on the clock
will be reserved for the first 100 sponsors
of the project.
“It brings a focal point with some
of the development that’s going on in
the hamlet,” Danon said. “We’re trying
to promote our rail trail, our small
businesses, so it would be another nice
addition when people are enjoying the
town. They can see it, stop and look at it.
The people who sponsor it, their names
will be written on there, so it’s something
they can see. Hopefully for the
next 50 to 100 years the clock will
be there with the names of the
people in the community on it.”
Though the clock has a retro
look, the modern computerized
system contained within the unit
can play music, so passersby
can enjoy holiday-specific tunes
throughout the year. Funding
the clock is just part of the
committee’s efforts to beautify
the town and to make the area
more conducive to pedestrians.
“We’re trying to make the
hamlet more walkable and more
business-friendly,” Danon said.
“Part of the issue we have with
Main Street is that the speed limit
is kind of high and people do tend
to speed through there, so we
want to make it safer and more
walkable. We’re looking to get
more crosswalks, and the stop
signs by the Post Office aren’t
really in a great place. (Ulster
County Legislature Chairman)
Ken Ronk was able to get bigger
stop signs for us, and they painted
the stop lines for us. We’re hoping
when they do the bridge that
they’ll actually put a crosswalk
across the street in.”
The Main Street Revitalization
Committee is offering varying
levels of sponsorships for the
clock, and for more information,
donors can call (914) 850-6024
or contact alexmdanon@yahoo.
com. If the clock can get built,
Danon sees myriad benefits for
the growth of the hamlet. “To
me, it’s a sense of pride for
the community,” he said. “The
more that we can do to make the
community look good, the better
everyone will feel about it. Then
maybe more people will want to
move here, which would increase
home values. The trickle effects
are what we’re really looking for.”
There will be space on the clock for memorial dedi-
cations.
