Rick's Point

Over the weekend, there was an "honorary retirement celebration" for Rick Scalera, perennial mayor of Hudson for the past two decades, at the Elks Lodge. Reporter Jeff Alexander was there and tells about the event in today's Register-Star: "Scalera receives official send-off."

It seems the rumor that has been making the rounds is true. New mayor William Hallenbeck has named the southernmost part of Henry Hudson Riverfront Park--the area that affords the best view of the activity at the Holcim dock--"Rick's Point."
