HYDE PARK — Thesearch will begin againfor a Dutchess Countyman who has been miss-ing since in December on

the Hudson River.Plans for a renewed

search come after au-thorities recovered andidentified a second boaterwho washed ashore thisweek. Baylin Coddington,27, of Millbrook was iden-tified through dental rec-ords Wednesday after be-ing found near the HydePark train station Mon-day.

Coddington and Bar-rettRaymond, 31, ofHyde

Park have been missingsince overturning theircanoe near Rogers PointBoat Club on Dec. 21.

Authorities searchedfor Raymond along theriverbank within a mileradius of where Codding-ton was discovered andenlisted thehelpofkayak-ers Monday, said HydePark Police Chief Eric Pa-olilli.

Paolilli said his depart-ment will coordinate with

the Dutchess CountySheriff’s Office and statepolice today toresumethesearch. The chief said hewill ask the Sheriff’s Of-fice to provide boat pa-trols along the river andthe state police to per-form searcheswith a heli-copter.

Dr. Kari Reiber, theDutchess County medicalexaminer, said that as wa-ter temperatures in-crease, drowning victims

oftenemerge.While thereisnocertainty,Reiberwasoptimistic Coddington’srecovery isagoodsignforfinding Raymond.

“He should be resur-facing soon,” she said.

Paolilli said police areusing the areawhereCod-dington was found as astarting point for theirsearch.

Coddington was foundby a kayaker on the riverwho saw the body and

called police, Paolilli said.Reiber said the cause

of death was drowning,with hypothermia as acontributing factor.

Coddington and Ray-mond fell into 39-degreeHudson River water neartheVanderbiltMansion inHyde Park when their ca-noe tipped roughly 200yards offshore, accordingto Journal archives.

RHINEBECK—A bill inthe state Senate couldhave a major impact onthe future of the Dutch-ess County Fairgroundsand the village it callshome.

The Senate bill wouldlet fairgrounds hostevents other than annualcounty fairs. While fair-grounds like Dutchesslong have hosted a rangeof events throughout theyear, a legal decisioncalls that ability intoquestion. The bill wouldmake clear that fair-grounds can host otherevents, but critics say itwould make those whorun fairgrounds exemptfrom most local laws de-signed to let municipal-ities like Rhinebeck con-trol traffic, noise and thelook of the area.

Rhinebeck has beenworking with the Dutch-ess County AgriculturalSociety, which runs thefairgrounds, on zoningchanges and a draftedevents code, or rules and

regulations for events al-lowable in the village.

The bill was approvedby the Assembly, and aversion of it is before theSenate Agriculture Com-mittee. The bill, spon-sored by Sen. PattyRitchie, R-Oswegatchie,is intended to clarify lan-guage in nearly 100-year-old agriculture and not-for-profit laws some con-sider hazy. The laws per-tain to fairgrounds’ usefor exhibitions or events.

InDutchess, changingthe state law would pro-hibit the village fromblocking any event at thefairgrounds except for alegitimate health or safe-ty concern, the legisla-

the revitalization of thiscity and its role as acatalyst in attractingartists.

The year in whichDia:Beacon opened,2003, marked an arts andtourism renaissance forDutchess County. TheRichard B. Fisher Centerfor the Performing Artsat Bard College in An-nandale and the HenryA. Wallace Visitor andEducation Center at theFranklin D. RooseveltPresidential Library andMuseum in Hyde Parkopened the same year.

The Bureau of Eco-nomic Research at Mar-ist College, in a 1999study of the economicimpact of the arts, esti-mated that planned artfacility additions, in-cluding Dia:Beacon andthe Fisher center, wouldbring an extra 200,000visitors and $40 millionannually into the county.

Dia:Beacon has shoul-dered its fair share ofthose anticipated visi-tors, drawing 75,000 in2012 and 733,000 sinceopening. An independentstudy by Williams Col-lege Center for CreativeCommunity Develop-ment in Williamstown,Mass., estimatedDia:Beacon’s economicimpact on the region is$12.5 million a year, theJournal reported in 2011.

Beyond the numbers,with 22 galleries, highceilings and strikingnatural light that com-plements a rustic, indus-trial feel, Dia:Beacon asa building can tug at thesenses as much as theart it displays.

“Dia Art Foundationcame to Beacon to estab-lish this large facility —they could have named itanything,” said the mu-seum’s managing direc-tor, Susan Sayre Batton.“I think it’s important topoint out, it’s not justcalled Dia. It’s calledDia:Beacon. It put theCity of Beacon on the

map in a different wayfor people.”

Dia Art Foundationspends about $4.2 millionyearly in Dutchess Coun-ty to support the opera-tion and staffing of themuseum, which occupiesa 290,000-square-footformer Nabisco boxprinting factory.Dia:Beacon is part of DiaArt Foundation’s constel-lation of sites, whichincludes locations inNew York City.

Over the past decade,Dia:Beacon has extendedits reach into the com-munity. The museumdoes not charge the Bea-con City School Districtfor an arts educationprogram, which costs$115,000 annually, andDia:Beacon is free tocity residents on week-ends.

“Museums are notelite institutions any-more,” Batton said.“They have moved awayfrom their origins ascollections belonging toroyalty or wealthy indi-

viduals, sealed behindwalls for the public toview. The 21st-centurymuseum is connected toits community, engagedin the ‘cultural life of thepresent,’ as Dia’s found-ing mission states.”

Conversely, city offi-cials continue to connectthe dots. They are work-ing to extend their reachjust under a mile, fromthe west end of MainStreet toward Dia:Bea-con and the nearby Met-ro-North Railroad sta-tion, which like Dia is ahub for visitors. Morethan 50 percent ofDia:Beacon’s visitors arefrom New York City, and37 percent come fromabroad. In 2012, a Metro-North travel packagethat included round-triptrain fare from NewYork City and admissionto Dia:Beacon generated24,726 rides and $284,198in revenue for the rail-road.

Recent zoningchanges encourage com-mercial and residentialuse in that part of Bea-con between Main Streetand the river, called the“linkage area,” alongwith residential andwork spaces for artists.And developers haveexpressed interest, May-

or Randy Casale said.“We’re hoping to get

development down there,so you can see Beacon asyou get off the train andyou will know there issomething uptown fromthere,” Casale said. “Ibelieve we’re on theright track.”

Beacon City Council-woman Sara Pasti, theNeil C. Trager directorof the Samuel DorskyMuseum of Art at theState University of NewYork at New Paltz, saidthose who work atDia:Beacon can continueto tell visitors about thecity’s shops, restaurantsand galleries. She addedthat the City of Beaconmust develop the linkagearea, encourage pedes-trians to make the uphilljourney and improvesignage.

“I think it’s the samechallenge,” Pasti said,“faced by any of thecommunities along theeast side of the river.”

Even as it marks its10-year anniversary,Dia:Beacon presents aunique opportunity forBeacon to build upon.

“Having a world-classmuseum like Dia,” saidNancy Lutz, communica-tions manager for Dutch-ess County Tourism,

“certainly puts us on abigger stage.”

John Clarke, devel-opment and design coor-dinator for the DutchessCounty Department ofPlanning and Devel-opment, said, “Almostevery city in the North-east declined after 1950.”

Manufacturing jobs,including those in Bea-con, left for the Southand overseas. In Dutch-ess, Route 9 commercialdevelopment providedstiff competition forMain Street businesses,like those in Beacon. Thecity’s population, whichwas 14,012 in 1950, con-tinued to decline in the1970s and 1980s. Bea-con’s population in 2010was 15,541.

Main Street in Beaconhad become home toburned-out buildings,Clarke said. Pasti usedthe word “derelict” todescribe Beacon in itspre-Dia days.

The redevelopment ofbuildings on Beacon’sMain Street was un-derway. News thatDia:Beacon would opentriggered an influx ofartists, art galleries andcreative businesses, suchas graphic design, into

Beacon.“When Dia came,”

Pasti said, “its reno-vation was a tippingpoint.”

Dia had built a solidreputation beyond art byturning around its neigh-borhood in New YorkCity, Pasti said. And thathelped Beacon.

“It created an artscene,” she said, “ascene that was based ontourism.”

The Beacon ArtsCommunity Association,now Beacon Arts,formed in anticipation ofDia:Beacon’s opening,said Pasti, who served asthe organization’s firstsecretary and later aspresident.

Pasti continued, “Thefact that a large buildingcould be restored intosomething as beautifulas what Dia became gavea lot of hope to the restof Beacon.”
