HIGHLAND, N.Y. -- More than 100 headstones in an Ulster County cemetery have been destroyed or damaged, and the local town supervisor is offering a $1,000 reward for the arrest of the vandals.

Highland Town Supervisor Paul Hansut tells the Middletown Times Herald-Record (http://bit.ly/17vFas9 ) that the issue is personal for him because his brother-in-law's gravestone was one of those damaged late Tuesday night or early Wednesday.

Hansut says the cost of the damage at Highland Cemetery is estimated at between $30,000 and $40,000.

Town Police Lt. James Janso says he believes several people were involved in the desecration.

4. It is going to get cold tonight.

It must be great to live up there. Not even suburban but pure country.

5. It'll be down to 48° for 2 hours before dawn. I'm going to turn the heat on low.

We have a new baby dove, just hatched last night.
It is the first one born in this house. Her first chick.

We have black bear, deer, skunks. A raccoon tried to break in this spring.

The leaves on the maples are just starting to change. Autumn in New York can be beautiful.

6. I hope your animals stay warm. It will get warmer on the weekend.

YEs I go upstate to see the leaves. NY and NE is beautiful in the fall.
