SMALLWOOD - On September 16, 2020 the Town of Bethel community lost one of our Town Constables, Daryl Yates. Daryl exemplified everything about being a public servant that made him well-respected by the community and his peers.

He served the Bethel Community and residents with honor, dedication and high values. He will always be remembered for his support of our many community events and programs where he worked hard to keep us safe always stepping up to be involved. Darryl was friendly and caring.

The Town will be unveiling a bench dedicated to his memory on Saturday, June 12 at 11:00 a.m. at Forest Reserve at Smallwood, 48 Richard Crumley Drive, Smallwood, NY 12778. All are welcome. Information on the Forest Reserve at Smallwood can be found on their Facebook page.

For more information on the bench dedication, you can call Daniel Sturm, Town Supervisor, at (845) 583-4350 ext. 102 or by email: bethelsupervisor@libertybiz.rr.com.
