Diane Deschenes
New Scotland Town Clerk
• Residence: Lifelong Voorheesville resident
I like “24”, because it’s suspenseful. It’s hard to find anything good on TV. “Secondhand Lions” and “The Notebook”
I enjoy being on my boat on the Mohawk River. I enjoy traveling through the locks and spending time with my friends. It is basically like my camp on the river. It’d be lobster, shrimp and a nice juicy steak.
Right now my dream vacation would be to do “the loop,” which is traveling down to Florida and then all the way back up through the various canal systems. I know most people would say someone famous, but I would have to say it would be my parents. Winning my election for the first time in 1999. That was an amazing thing. At the time, the original town clerk had stepped down and I worked across the hallway in assessing and thought I could do a good job. I live in the same house I grew up in. My dad built the house, too. When the house was originally built they could look straight across the field, because there wasn’t Pine Street in Voorheesville.What are you watching on TV?
