BEACON, N.Y. (AP) – Senator Charles Schumer says he will work aggressively to help save a crumbling castle on the Hudson River.

Schumer met Tuesday with members of the Bannerman Castle Trust, the group that oversees the scenic ruin just off the Hudson shore near Fishkill. Sections of walls have collapsed this winter, giving urgency to efforts to stabilize the site.

Schumer says he will personally ask federal Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to back the trust’s application for funding under the Save America’s Treasures program. He also will try to find other emergency funding.

Manhattan merchant Francis Bannerman built the structure in the early 1900s and used it to store military relics. He made it look like a Scottish castle.

The river runs three hundred fifteen miles starting in the Adirondacks and ending in New York Harbor. Dinner cruisers can expect to enjoy the views of the hudson highlands and the catskills as they sip wine and pass by towns, elegant estates and farms on the hudson. Thanks a lot.

Most of the building was devoted to the stores of army surplus but Bannerman built another castle in a smaller scale on top of the island near the main structure as a residence, often using items from his surplus collection for decorative touches. Thanks for sharing.

chances are you will never write a spectacular academic essay without help. But we once again return to deadlines. You hate writing but what about deadlines? If you don't make them, you could easily fail one or more courses. And we all know how unforgiving the job market is to college drop outs. What's a student to do?

In economics funds are injected into the market as capital by lenders and taken as loans by borrowers. There are two ways in which the capital can end up at the borrower. The lender can lend the capital to a financial intermediary against interest. These financial intermediaries then reinvest the money against a higher rate. Thanks.
