Though not yet into its second century, Demarest projects an old-fashioned warmth, charm and cohesiveness of spirit uncommon in even the most established communities. Many residents participate in one or more of the borough's recreational and cultural activities. The OCCC School of Art is an art school and community cultural center established in 1974, housed in an air-conditioned former church building constructed 125 years ago. They teach forty-five arts and crafts classes a week for adults and children, and offer special intensive workshops and seminars for professionally oriented students. Others volunteer for the garden society, fire department, or ambulance corp. Even Demarest's library is privately supported. This sense of community spirit can be seen among Demarest's older citizens as well as its youth. Demarest's center is the picturesque duck pond, town gazebo, and railroad station. Woodlands surround the borough, and that rural beauty has not been sacrificed to further town development. No industry is permitted. Bus service to mid-town Manhattan is available.

Radon >Detecting Elevated Radon Levels
Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that can pose a serious health risk if it becomes trapped under your house. Radon typically enters the home via underground crawl spaces, sump pumps, gaps in the basement and even the water supply. It can pollute your indoor air with its toxic vapors, and is held responsible for more than 20,000 lung-disease-related deaths every year. Radon is assumed to be present in millions of American homes.
How do you detect the presence of radon gas, and how can you reduce its presence and influence if it is found in your home? First, have your home tested by a professional. Many contractors are licensed or certified by state and/or local agencies. They will conduct diagnostic testing to determine if radon gas is at acceptable levels. If levels are dangerous, the contractor can install a radon reduction system. Ask the contractor for references documenting the results of past work in other homes. Make sure the company checks the house after the system is installed, to verify that it is reducing the radon levels.
