Close Knit Group Prepares for Applefest
By Eileen Patterson
Applefest 2004 will kickoff Warwick’s apple-picking season on Sun., Oct. 3. Applefest has
been selected as one of the top ten festivals in
the "Top 100 Events in North America" by the American
Bus Association. There will be approximately 275 artisans
displaying a variety of handmade products. The Warwick
Valley Chamber of Commerce began organizing this event
in 1988 as an opportunity for non-profit organizations to
raise funds. Sixteen years later, the well-known festival
now attracts artists from all over the northeast and beyond.
One of the vendors at this years’ festival is a group of
women who call themselves "Chicks with Sticks." The
group was started through the ingenuity of Janet
McInerney, an artist from Pennsylvania. Well-known in
her home community as a woman who is always happy to
lend a hand, Janet found herself in need of distraction.
Last June, her sister, Sue, who lives in Florida, NY was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Anguished by the distance and the inability to be on
hand with Sue, Janet surrounded herself with a close knit
group of friends. These women had talked each other
through bad times before, and this situation was no different. It didn’t take long before the group started using their
talking time to knit. They would give their handiwork as
gifts. Scarves, ponchos, wraps, purses and other creations
made by these women soon became the rage in Bucks
County. Word got around and the newly named "Chicks
Illustration by Min Jae Hong
with Sticks" began taking orders.
Janet and Sue’s mother, Dee, also lives in Florida.
During Sue’s illness, Dee immediately took on the role of
nurse, listener and on-hand supporter to Sue and her family. Dee spent many days with Sue while she was recovering. During one of their long-distance telephone conversations about how Sue was doing, Janet thanked Dee for
"casting her on" to knitting so many years before. She
explained how the creative process had helped pass some of
the worrisome hours. Janet suggested that Dee remind Sue
how to knit. "We thought it would be a great way for Sue
to spend the time and possibly relieve some of the stress
while she waited to get back on her feet," said Janet.
Janet joined her mom at Sue’s Florida home last win-
ter. The three women talked and
they knit and the bounty of beautiful products grew. Janet doesn’t
get her penchant for helping others from
anywhere strange. She explains, "I’ve learned a
lot from Sue. Anyone who knows her has been either directly
helped by her or inspired by her efforts to help others."
While enjoying one of their afternoon knitting sessions, Sue wondered aloud about how she could give back.
She had been amazed at the response to news of her illness.
She was inundated with people offering to help her; friends
drove her kids to their activities and stopped by with dinner for the family - some of them even got together and
hired a cleaning service to keep Sue’s house in its usual tidy
state.
"Sue didn’t even realize that these people were giving
back to her for all she had done for them," said Janet. Dee,
Sue and Janet decided to bring more women into the fold
of "Chicks with Sticks." With a larger group, they could
create an inventory of products to sell at festivals like
Applefest and donate a portion of the proceeds to the
Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.
Janet is happy to report that Sue is doing well. "She
won’t be at Applefest because even though she’s done with
chemo, she has just had reconstructive surgery. She sent all
of her products up just before the surgery. In fact, Sue was
so anxious to get everything ready; she used her 11-year old
son’s night vision goggles to finish up a few sweaters during a blackout caused by hurricane Frances."
Look for the "Chicks with Sticks" at Applefest. They
will be in the Bank of New York parking lot on South Street.

Warwick Grove Showcase Will Open its Doors Oct. 2
By Lisa Rice
Warwick Grove Showcase staff (from left) Carole Rogers, Helen Janish, Johanna DeSanto and Sally Ann Cupertino in
the Warwick Grove Showcase and Design Center.
Entered As Second Class Matter
Warwick, N.Y. 10990
Publication No.666800
It's been nearly six years in the making, but the
Warwick Grove Showcase is just about ready to open its
doors to the public. The Warwick Grove Company is an
affiliate of Leyland Alliance LLC of Tuxedo, NY and
Tarragon Corporation of NYC. A planned community for
active adults aged 55 and over, Warwick Grove is a traditional neighborhood that has been designed with consideration and harmony to enhance Warwick's quaint village.
A small example of the consideration given to this
community by Warwick Grove Company LLC is the story
of the Bog Turtle. While working with an environmental
team to prepare a required Environmental Impact Study
during the planning phase of this project, a Bog Turtle
habitat was discovered on the 130 acre site and adjacent
parcels. The Bog Turtle is protected by the Federal
Endangered Species Act. The preservation of its habitat
and interconnection of the water basins of the Bog Turtle
is enforced at the state level.
Working with Dr. Michael W. Klemens, a renowned
Environmentalist who wrote the Federal Recovery Plan for
the Bog Turtle, a plan was developed to protect the natural
habitat and maintain the interconnection of the drainage
system that spans a large section of the Bellvale system. It
was not only important to consider the traffic flow over the
flood plain habitat, but also to allow Bog Turtle movement
throughout the habitat.
By using design, expense and innovation, a system was
designed using skylights to provide daylight conditions

Volunteers Receive Praise at Town Meeting
It was a night of awards, praise and recognition at the
Warwick Town Board meeting on Thurs., Sept. 23, as several
residents were honored for their volunteer work in their community. Julia Brown, Chair of the Kings Estates Sugar Hills
Recreation Advisory Committee (KESHRAC) presented these
awards to Shieda Terry, Naomi Hall and Theresa Rizzotti.
"While most people sit back and wait for others to do
- you did not," said Brown, to the three recipients. "Each of
you has made a significant difference in our community by
participating and getting involved and you also teach others, by volunteering." The three Kings Estates residents picked
up debris, handed out flyers, folded newsletters, stuffed
envelopes, etc. The Kings Estates Sugar Hills Recreation
Advisory Committee consists of seven individuals who volunteer their time and are liaisons with the Town Board for
the 352 houses in their community.

Warwick Conservation Board Seeks
Two New Members
The Town of Warwick Conservation Board is seeking
two new members to complete its full membership. The
nine member Conservation Board reviews development
plans that are before the Planning Board and advises the
Town Board and the Planning Board on open space preservation and matters affecting the development and use of
the natural and man-made features of the town. Members are
appointed by the Town Board and must be town residents.
There are seven members currently serving staggered
three year terms. Although no prior land use experience is
necessary, some knowledge or interest in land preservation
and development planning is helpful. Conservation Board
Chairman Dan Duthie noted that the Conservation Board
is also planning a public relations campaign in the near
future. The goal is to raise awareness among the Town’s
residents about the critical issues of open space use and
preservation as well as the economic impact of balancing
land development with open space preservation.
A pamphlet on Open Space which has been produced
by the Conservation Board will be available shortly. The
Conservation Board meets twice each month on Tues.
nights at 7:30 pm. Potential members are encouraged to
send a letter of interest to Michael Sweeton, the Town
Supervisor, at the Town Hall, 132 Kings Highway, Warwick.

WARWICK VALLEY DISPATCH, SEPTEMBER 29, 2004
Village Board has Heavy Agenda
By Eileen Patterson
The Village Board of Trustees addressed several letters
at the Sept. 20 meeting from concerned citizens asking for
attention to various issues. A family living in the Village
wrote to request reimbursement for a water filter which
needed to be replaced as a result of the brown tinge recently discovered in the Village water system. Trustee Bill Iurato
commented that if the Village paid $90 for this cartridge, it
could expect that many more requests would be forthcoming. The Board decided to discuss the issue and respond to
that family.
The Orange County Health Department sent a survey
on the Water System Capacity with a request that it be
completed and returned. DPW Supervisor Steve Sisco
acknowledged that he had also received the request and
would complete the survey. A letter was received from the
Orange County Water Authority advising that they had
hired members of the Hudson Basin River Watch to perform stream bio-monitoring surveys; some of which will
take place in Warwick.
A group of residents living on Gordon Terrace sent a
petition urging attention to a dangerous drainage ditch in
their neighborhood. The letter described the drainage
ditch as a health hazard to children playing in the area.
Mayor Michael Newhard commented that he had inspected the drainage ditch with the Village Engineer and they
determined that the ditch was not on Village property. The
Board agreed to write a letter informing the property
owner of their responsibility to correct the situation.
Skateboarders have Rights, Too
The final letter read into the record by Trustee Pascal
was written by a mother in support of her teenage son who
is interested in skateboarding. She explained, "My son and
his friends are street skateboarders and they are good kids."
She noted that the kids are teased by the idea that there is a
skate park in the Village, but it is too small and rarely open.
Her letter recounted recent events when the kids had their
skateboard confiscated by the police because they were
skating in parking lots and open areas in the Village.
She asked for confirmation of her son’s claim that
Mayor Newhard had given him permission to skate in the
parking lots in the Village. She suggested designating a
bike and skate lane within the Village which would create a
place for the large group of people interested in these activities to enjoy their sport. The Mayor denied ever granting
permission to anyone to skateboard in the parking lots,
noting that they are private property and beyond his
authority.
"The skate park hours can be changed based on the
response of the community," said Newhard. "It is one of
the few municipally-run skate parts in Orange County and
it is not too small. It was designed for use by skate boarders, inline skaters and BMX bike riders." The Board agreed
the issue needs to be addressed. Being that Trustee Iurato
is the Board liaison to the Village Parks and Recreation, the
board asked that he organize a meeting and reach out
through the schools to find out how best to manage and
possibly change the skate park to make it more usable.
New Firehouse Dedication
The Raymond Hose Fire Company wrote to invite
Mayor Michael Newhard and the Trustees to attend a formal dedication of their new firehouse on Oct. 10 at 1 p.m.
on West Street.
Motions
There were several motions put forward to vote by the
Board. A motion to begin asking for bids to add or repair
sidewalks on Van Buren and Factory Streets was put on
hold so that the Board can determine if the arrival of winter will interfere with the project. The bid process requires
that the job be complete within 60 days of requesting bids.
This system is in place to ensure timely completion of a
publicly-funded project.
The Board is concerned that if bids are requested this
late in the year, a change in the weather will inhibit the
completion of the project within 60 days and the funds
would be lost. Mayor Newhard took advantage of Warwick
resident and County Legislator, Mike Pillmeier’s attendance at the meeting to request that he investigate the possibility of the funds be carried over for use next year. Mr.
Pillmeier promised to look into it and respond to the Board.

ending point at the High School.
‘Buckle-Up New York’
In addition, Chief McGovern informed the Board that
Warwick Police are actively participating in "Buckle-Up
New York," a program to ensure that all drivers are using
seatbelts and sufficient child restraint devices. McGovern
said that the officers will be stopping and ticketing drivers
who are not in compliance with this law.

Guidelines for Effective Letters
Everyone has a right to express an honest opinion, but we
would like to remind readers of a few simple rules for writing
effective letters.
Less is more! The shorter your letter the more likely it is to be
read. Civility is more persuasive than invectiveness. That is, honey
catches more flies than vinegar.
When you read a letter that angers you or that you disagree
with, we warmly encourage you to write a response following the
guidelines suggested above. Our pages are always open to lively
debate, but play fair.
Needless to say, misinformation and gratuitous insult will not
survive the editor’s pen.
All letters should be approximately 400 words or less due to
space limitations. Letters must be signed with full name and contain a telephone number for verification purposes. Anonymous or
unsigned letters will not be published.
Letters may be edited for length and style. The deadline
for sending letters is 12 noon on Mondays. Letters may be mailed
to the Warwick Valley Dispatch, P.O. Box 594, Warwick, NY 10990,
or faxed to 987-1180. Letters may also be emailed to:

throughout the culvert system and keep the habitat hospitable to
the species. Other species that will benefit from this design
include the blue spotted salamander and the wood turtle.
"They took responsibility to protect the environment very
seriously," said Dr. Klemens. "If you care about community it’s a
logical solution to care about the environment." In fact, Dr.
Klemens was so pleased with the design solutions proposed by
Warwick Grove, that he presented them at the New England
Governor's Conference as an example on how to preserve habitats. The "Leyland Bridge" has raised the bar on the New York
State standard for endangered species protection.
This story is typical of a company that goes above and
beyond in design and distinction. Warwick Grove is the newest
project from Leyland Alliance, the people who brought our community such distinctive neighborhoods as Horizon Woods,
Horizon Farms and Covered Bridge Estates.
Designed as a "Traditional Neighborhood," Warwick Grove
will house 215 families where at least one owner is 55 or older.
The community will consist of 154 single family homes, 31 townhouses and 30 elevated condominium apartments, beautifully
situated around the neighborhood center with meeting space, fitness spa, swimming pool, courtyard and common building.
So as not to impact the already crowded Warwick School
District, children under 18 are not allowed to permanently reside
in Warwick Grove. "This is a community for Baby-Boomers," said
Carole Rogers, Director of Sales for Warwick Grove. "These are
working, active people looking for a special community."
The style of homes was planned as painstakingly as the design
of the community. Using an authentic style of architecture, five
floor plans with 23 different exterior elevations were chosen for the
early phases of the neighborhood. Care will be taken to ensure
diversity amongst the homes and avoid a "cookie cutter" look.
The homes will be arranged with front porches facing community walkways and intimate lanes. "This is a community
designed to be inclusive, not exclusive in nature. It is not gated. It
celebrates the public areas and promotes casual encounters. The
Neighborhood Square is the heart and soul of Warwick Grove,"
said Monica Quigley, Vice President Sales and Marketing for
Leyland Alliance LLC.
The Warwick Grove Showcase, located at 48 Main Street, will
open its doors to the public on Oct. 2, and local Realtors will get a
sneak preview during a Broker's Tour on Thurs., Sept. 30. The
Showcase will allow visitors to take a self-guided tour of the proposed community complete with photographs, scale models and
design drawings. Manning the showcase with Carole Rogers will
be Johanna DeSanto, Sales Associate, Sally Ann Cupertino, New Home
Coordinator and Helen Janisch, Sales and Marketing Assistant.

WARWICK VALLEY DISPATCH, SEPTEMBER 29, 2004
New Officers Elected by
Warwick Conservancy
Trustees
5
It’s Back-to-School &
Business for Warwick
School Board
By Colleen McAvey
Professor Andrew "Andy" McLaughlin
William (Bill) Olsen and Professor
Andrew (Andy) McLaughlin have been
elected to lead the Board of Directors of
the Warwick Conservancy, Inc. (WCI),
Warwick’s own local land trust, as president and vice president, respectively.
Charles Gilmore is the new treasurer and
Diana Boernstein remains as the Board’s
secretary.
All are sitting trustees and the new
postings became effective on July 15. The
Conservancy works closely with other land
trusts, non-profit community organizations and municipal entities in the area to
achieve its goals, but is the only independent non-profit organization directly concerned solely with preserving Warwick’s
natural resources, open spaces and rural
character.
Both the new president and vice president hold doctoral degrees: Olsen’s is in
microbiology and biochemistry, and
McLaughlin’s in philosophy. Both of them,
in their training and current experience,
are particularly well situated to understand
and evaluate the challenges facing
Warwick’s natural environment. Prof.
McLaughlin’s expertise encompasses the
philosophical, political and ethical aspects
of humans in their interface with nature,
and has written extensively on these subjects.
Bill Olsen, who was awarded his PhD
by Michigan State University, has spent
time at MIT’s Department of Biology &
Chemistry and the prestigious Max Planck
Institute for Biochemistry in Munich,
Germany. He recently retired as Senior
Research and Development Scientist with
International Paper in Tuxedo, where he
was responsible for new technologies
worth millions of dollars to the firm.
"I intend, with the able assistance of
our dedicated trustees, to build the programs of the Conservancy so that we will
be a proactive conservation force rather
than only reacting to the most pressing situations," Olsen says. "The outgoing president, Cushman May, has my deep admiration and respect for the excellent job he has
done in helping to grow the organization
from its infancy."
"We are poised now to develop a more

them and cooperate with them in mutually beneficial programs. We are very fortunate to have as WCI officers, among others,
Professor McLaughlin, with his wide
knowledge of ecology and preservation
and Diana Boernstein, with her keen legal
expertise on the team, who will be invaluable to bring us to the next step in our
efforts."
Charles (Chuck) Gilmore, the new
Treasurer and a retired telecommunications executive was lauded by the outgoing
president, Cushman May. "Charles worked
with us in the final days of our Hallowed
Ground fundraising drive. His managerial,
project and planning skills have been, and
will be, of great importance to the
Conservancy as we continue to grow and
take on more complex projects," said May,
who will remain on the board as a trustee.
Just last year, as a relatively new and
untested group, the Conservancy raised the
substantial funds locally needed to purchase the Village’s new Hallowed Ground
Park at Forester Ave. and Galloway Rd.,
which had been threatened with development. The Conservancy now holds the
conservation easement on the property,
ensuring that it will remain forever green
and the title to the property is in the name
of the Village of Warwick. The park, once
the cemetery of the first Old Baptist
Meeting House and across the road from
the greater portion of that historical cemetery, is situated at a key visual entrance to
Warwick on Route 17A.
The Warwick Conservancy (www.warwickconservancy.org) welcomes your participation as a conservation easement
grantor, program volunteer, or as a financial underwriter. The WCI ensures the
preservation of Warwick’s open spaces by
creating and holding conservation easements on properties independently of government and private interests, and in perpetuity.
The trustees are eager to reach out to
local citizens who have expertise in the
field of land conservation and welcome
their input. If you would like more information on conservation easements or
other programs of the Conservancy, or if
you would like to volunteer or contribute
funds, please contact Bill Olsen at 845988-5299, or mail your tax deductible contributions to WCI, PO Box 1277, Warwick
NY 10990.

Blood Donation Saves a Young Mothers’ Life
Kelly Fedrizzi with her two beautiful children: Peter, 6
and Travis, 4, believes she owes her life and the lives of
her children to the generosity of blood donors.
"If it was not for the generosity of people who donate
blood," said Kelly Fedrizzi, "my husband, Mark, would be a
widower without children." Fortunately, Fedrizzi, who suffers from ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura), a
low platelet disorder, is alive and well. She is also the mother of two healthy and active boys; Peter, 6, and Travis, 4.
Fedrizzi, a part time staff member at Schervier
Pavilion, a skilled nursing facility on the Warwick Campus
of Bon Secours Charity Health System, gave birth to both
sons at St. Anthony Community Hospital (SACH).
Because of her disease, she said that she was considered a
high-risk patient and that giving birth would pose a serious
danger to both her and her baby.
Fedrizzi credits the excellent care she received at the
hospital and from the physicians at Community OB/GYN
Associates for the successful births. She is especially grateful to the donors who supplied the extraordinary amount
of blood needed to produce the immunoglobulin infusions
that raised her platelet count to a safe level.
"Without these donors," she said, "I wouldn’t be here
and my boys might not be here. I’m telling this story to put

Life Is But A Dance
By Sharon & Gary Newton
Many wander through life believing
that their daily existence is a series of disconnected thoughts, feelings, actions and
events. In reality we are very much the
product of an orchestra of parts: physical
parts, emotional parts, mental parts and
spiritual parts, all participating in a neverending, ever-evolving choreography of
beliefs, attitudes and behaviors, a choreographed dance.
If you listen to how children laugh and
cry, without even seeing them you instantly know which are yours because you know
the patterns of their giggles and sobs.
Perhaps you recognize when your partner
is one aisle over in the store because you
are instantly tuned to the rhythm of his
sneeze or the cadence of her walk. You, too,
have your own natural rhythm, your own
natural dance, that helps make you
uniquely special. Life is but a dance - a
boundaryless soup of rhythms and tempos.
Sharon’s Story
My own emotional and physical
rhythm came from losing my younger
brother and from the daily excruciating
pain I had from injuries to my leg and the
resulting major operations. I got up from
my desk and left my job because of the
intense pain - never to return. My emotional rhythm resulted from physical and
mental abuse from my first husband of just
four months and the divorce I quickly
sought, and from losing everything I
owned and escaping with my life during a
major gas pipeline explosion to the unsuccessful attempts at pregnancy in my current marriage - even with the help of a
respected fertilization clinic.
On top of all that I was seeing a therapist for post-traumatic stress and pain
management and another therapist for
marriage counseling, meanwhile managing
four concurrent law suits related to some
of the above. All of which happened in a
four year period. There was never enough
space between them to process any single
one of them, running from doctor to doctor, attorney to attorney and trauma to
trauma with no apparent end in sight.
I sunk! And, I sunk deep into a dark,
suicidal depression. My rhythm became
yelling and screaming at my husband, hating my body, putting myself down, saying
things like, "I am not good enough and no
one loves me! I can’t move because my leg
hurts too bad. Why trust anything or anyone? I’ve been a victim all my life and it’s
never gonna end - it’s their fault. Why am
I so depressed? Why live – I can end this
pain tonight with a knife!"
I was in my drama and I truly believed
that the drama and the pain were all there
was. And that was my truth until I eventually learned to put my emotions and physical pain into a dance - in my dance, even
though I did not know the steps. It didn’t
matter, I just kept moving and letting my
emotions flow into the dance. Issues of
abandonment and trust came up. I could
feel some kind of energy moving inside of
me and around me. The energy and the
music kept me moving. My body was moving in ways I didn’t think it could. At some
point, I heard an inner voice say to me "You
don’t need to live up to other people’s
expectations anymore. Trust and love
yourself and no one can abandon you."
After my dance I sat down and cried
from my soul. There were tears of freedom,
tears for honoring my dance and tears for
having compassion for myself in ways I
never did before. I knew I no longer had
any reason for putting myself down and I
could finally move beyond my daily
thoughts of suicide. I now move to a new
rhythm and I created a new dance.
I gave myself that gift and I want to
share it with others. So I began playing
with the idea and it eventually blossomed
into a rhythmic dance movement workshop called Dances Beyond Boundaries,
born of my own pain and limitations.
personal feedback clinics with each group. In addition,
these extraordinary students will have the special opportunity to attend one-hour master classes, a special Disney
Seminar, and a themed evening social event where they can
meet other talented musicians from across the country.
The festival concludes with a semi-formal gala event
where each ensemble is recognized and presented with the
Disney Honors Award. Superintendent of the Warwick
Valley Central School District, Dr. Joseph L. Natale said,
"We’re very proud of the achievements of the
Meistersingers and their outstanding director Lois Heller.
We are all excited about this honored educational opportunity for these outstanding students."
The Meistersingers will be holding several fundraising
events to help cover most, if not all, of the costs of transportation to and attendance at the festival. For their first
fundraiser, members are selling the ever-popular
Entertainment Book 2005. At $27 each (payable to
Warwick Valley High School Chorus), these thick, couponladen books offer discounts at merchants throughout our
tri-county area as well as nationwide outlets, too.
For their second fundraiser they will be singing at this
year’s Applefest in Warwick, Sun., Oct. 3. Various a cappella groups will work different sections of the town to sing
"apple"-related songs at merchants’ doorsteps. Donations
will be graciously accepted at that time or at the contact
information noted above.
For information on the Meistersingers, please contact
Lois Heller, Vocal Director for the Warwick Valley High
School Meistersingers.
Dances Beyond Boundaries, a Workshop
Dances Beyond Boundaries is a
shamanic healing journey that can help
you move beyond the habitual patterns
that hold you back. In this workshop you
will move, dance, sweat and grow to a
blend of indigenous music, exotic colors
and harka energy, all within a Native
American medicine wheel. Learn to trans-
fer your negative energy back into the universe by leaving it in the dance and explore
the connections between old wounds and
new empowering ways of being. Renovate
your old dance into a new one, creating a
new way of moving forward through life.

Computer Security & the Small Business: Do you

You lock the doors to your house, you lock your car, but are
you locking the door to your computer? In a computer jargon-free seminar you will learn practical, no nonsense procedures and techniques—for low or no cost—that can help
protect your business from harm. Topics will include: dealing with spam, virus and malware; business continuity
planning; disaster recovery; and the real day-to-day threats
to the small business computer. This course is offered by

techniques, short discussion and slides. Course is based on
Dan Mack’s The Wayward Artist (on how to develop the
creative process by working with natural materials), and is

on display from Oct. 3 – Nov. 2 at Orange Hall Galleries as
part of a "Four Men" art show. Dirk, who was a Seaman on
tugs in the Hudson River and New York Harbor for many
years, is known for his paintings of the farmlands in
Florida and Warwick as well as tugboats and ships. On various occasions, Dirk has given free demonstrations to students at Pine Island Elementary School. His works are all
done in oils and will be displayed as Hudson Valley Scenes.
As part of the venue for the "Four Men's Artworks,"
there will be four art shows by four individuals of distinctly different styles, but a similar theme – landscapes.
Besides Dirk Van Oostendorp, Peter Krobath of Monroe
will be showing works in oils and watercolors in The
Waning of Seasons. His works are so representational that
often they are mistaken as photographs. Some of his works
are done in a pointillism style.
Completing the four man show is John Vriesema of
Richfield Springs, NY, formerly of Westtown and Robert
Lewis Hoover of Searsville, Town of Crawford. The
Opening Reception for all four shows is scheduled for Sun.,

The Play’s the Thing at the Library
If you love the theater and enjoy reading plays the
Albert Wisner Public Library invites you to join a play
reading of "The Golden Ladder" by local playwright Donna
Spector on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. The play will be read aloud by
those in attendance who wish to participate. Spector will
attend the reading and be on hand for a discussion of her
play afterward. Please register for this program by phone
at 986-1047 or stop by the Reference Desk at the library.
Copies of the play will be available at the Reference Desk
on Oct. 1.
This semi-autobiographical comedy/drama is an
exploration of the difficulties many people experience
when they come from families torn by religious and ethnic
differences. In an effort to come to some understanding of
her identity, Catherine, in her early 30's, recalls her confused childhood and adolescence stemming from her
Protestant mother's denial that her father is Jewish and her
father's struggle to give up his spiritual heritage to please
his wife. The play was produced Off-Broadway at Players
Theatre on MacDougal Street in NYC in 2002. It is included in "Women Playwrights: Best Plays of 2002."
Senior Focus Programs
The library will also offer a new series of programs for
and about senior citizens this fall. The series is titled Senior
Focus with three programs planned.
The first program, Arthritis: Alternative Approaches to
Preventing and Relieving Joint Diseases will be presented
on Oct. 18, at 1 p.m. Over 50 million Americans suffer with
joint disease. This presentation educates the audience
about what arthritis is, who is susceptible to arthritis, what
causes it, how to relieve it and steps to prevent it. The
speaker will be Maryann McQuillen, Dr. of Chiropractic.
On Oct. 25, at 2 p.m. Bobbi Hull, Special Programs
Director from Orange County Office of the Aging will discuss Community Resources for Older Adults. This presentation will assist older people in accessing information,
services, benefits and entitlements which will enhance their
later years. With the high cost of prescription drugs being
an important economic factor in the lives of most older citizens, Bobbi Hull will present Paying for Prescriptions on
Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. She will outline programs which help senior citizens pay for their needed medicines.
These programs are open to all residents of the
Warwick Valley School District. To register call 986-1047
as seating may be limited.
Robin Brae Keyboards
Studio Debuts in Style
By Lon Tytell
Bernard Brice Colletti is excited about his new business, Robin Brae Keyboards Studio, which he set up at 4
Robin Brae Drive. Berny exudes a positive energy combined with a low stress personal learning experience that
has included piano instruction. His background includes
playing in different venues in both group and solo performances in piano.
He looks forward to the challenge of teaching the
inexperienced as well as the aficionado. Throughout his
extensive teaching career in piano instruction, he has heard
excuses such as "two left hands," "short stubby fingers,"
"tone deaf," "no natural talent," "no musical facility," and "a
terrible musical experience in childhood."
Berny says, "All that is gibberish. All we need is
desire!" He is so confident about this that he challenges
himself through this offer: A free consultation followed by
four introductory discounted lessons. Berny also challenges you to go home to decide if this is the right expression format and teacher for yourself or for your child. And,
call him back only if you choose to continue at 986-9274.
Berny will show you how to play an acoustic Baby

of the spoken and sung word”

Grand piano and/or a digital musical keyboard, which can
include supplemental software and teaching aides. The
experience with digital keyboard could eventually lead to
one's own music with multiple instruments and voicing
layered together. He stresses an inductive approach which
relies on application of concepts, much more conducive to
creativity, musical signature, and originality. He finds page
turning restrictive and boring.
The many faceted musicians ran a gifted and talented
enrichment Middle School District program in NYC that
incorporated a multi art exposure and experience. Berny
also supervised the NYS Standards Testing Program for his
school in NYC and was actively involved in formulating
and reviewing Middle School NYS Standards questions in
Language Arts for the NYC School System. He is a NYS
licensed teacher/trainer.
Mostly through Pace and Fordham University, Berny
worked on selecting scholastic students for the study of law
with the promise of returning pro bono services to the
community. Berny's wife is a nurse serving in the community. His two sons are musicians, composers, and studio
engineers who both received education from SUNY
Purchase where Berny also attended. SUNY Purchase was
cited as one of the top NE musical programs in the USA.

the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Naval
Academy (Annapolis, Md.), U.S. Air Force Academy
(Colorado Springs, Co.), U.S. Merchant Marine Academy
(Kings Point, NY) and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy

SACHA Donates Proceeds of June Party
Funds to be used for purchase of medication carts
On Mon., Sept. 19, Gloria Okon, President of the St.
Anthony Community Hospital Auxiliary (SACHA) presented her organization’s check for $ 22,000 to Judy
Lindberg, Vice President of Patient Care Services for St.
Anthony Community Hospital (SACH). The donation,
proceeds from SACHA’s 2004 Annual June Party at
Hickory Hill Golf Course, was primarily earmarked for the
purchase of new state-of-the-art medication carts.
This year SACHA’s donation of $22,000 enabled the
hospital to purchase eight new customized medication
carts with comprehensive security systems. The 800 series
medication carts, manufactured by Lionville Systems, Inc.,
offer an auto-locking feature which was not available on
older equipment. "This is the Cadillac of Med Carts," said
Nurse Mary Zampella, RN, as she demonstrated the new
features to SACHA members. Each cart at SACH has been
configured to meet the needs of the areas they serve.
"The most obvious benefit is that these new carts sup-
port our hospital’s medication management workflow,"
said Judy Lindberg, Vice President of Patient Care Services.
"Our nursing care team was especially impressed with the
keyless entry system. By combining the technology of a
keyless entry and auto-locking system, the nurses now have
everything they need at their fingertips."
"We wish to thank all our sponsors, the donors, our
committees and all our committee chairs and volunteers,"
said Okon. "We are thrilled that our June Party was a success and that we were able to help purchase this wonderful
new equipment for our community hospital."
Gloria Okon and Terry Gavan served as co-chairs of
SACHA’s 2004 June Party. Other committee chairpersons
for this year’s event were Dorothy Anderson, Peggy
Arizmendi, Carolyn Denny, Joanne Graney, Gladys Kaytes,
Linda Ridella, Margie Meier-Berry, Monique Momin,
Bonni Oswald, Diane Overby, Margaret Petlicka, Linda
Ridella and Joan Roche.

OBITUARIES
Passing through Nature to eternity. -Shakespeare
JULIUS D. HARBURGER
Julius David Harburger, of Florida, N.Y.,a man who
loved a great "yarn" and spun more than a few, died Sept.
5, 2004 at Schervier Pavillion, Warwick. He was 85.
Born Jan. 4, 1919 in New York City, he was the son of
Sarah Moser Harburger and Benjamin F. Harburger.
Mr. Harburger is survived by his beloved wife of 37
years, Brenda Scott Harburger; five children, Linda Park
and her husband, Matthew, Mary Sue Rynecki and her husband, Nick; sons, Julius D. Harburger, Jr., Jay, Paul and
Stephen Harburger, as well as one grandson, David Rynecki
and his wife, Marcia Vickers and two great-grandchildren,
Christopher and Carter. He is also survived by his sister,
Suzanne Shapiro and her husband, Alan.
Mr. Harburger served honorably in the United States
Army Air Corps between 1940 and 1945 in Central
America as a weather observer and obtained the rank of
Staff Sergeant. He dreamed of becoming a writer. After the
war, he started at the bottom as an office clerk in a N.Y.C
advertising agency, sharpening pencils and distributing
mail. He persisted and became a copywriter, penning
untold popular ads for Ivory Liquid, Cascade, Duncan
Hines, Jeep, Spiedel and many other national brands. By
retirement, he was Sr. Vice Pres., Creative Director at
Compton Advertising.
He remained active writing books (including one work
of poems that he self-published for each of his children) and
participating in business and community affairs (serving as
President of the Rotary Club in Livingston Manor and later
as a Board Member of the Warwick Valley Rotary Club, as
well as operating an ad agency with his wife).
He will be remembered by those who knew him as a
spiritual person and a fine human being who liked a well
crafted story. His daughters recall the many characters he
invented for bedtime stories and songs, his sons and grandsons remember the stories he recounted about great athletes
he had seen from Babe Ruth to Bobby Jones. He fascinated
his great-grandsons with the mysterious robot that swept
around the bottom of his pool. He will be sorely missed.
Memorial services were held Sat., Sept. 11 at the
United Methodist Church, New Milford, N.Y. Funeral
arrangements were by Lazear-Smith & Vander Plaat.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Warwick
Valley Rotary Club, P.O. Box 121, Warwick, N.Y., 10990, for
their community service efforts.

Purple Wave Second as Ryan Sets Record
By Richard Furst
The girls’ cross country team traveled to Lehigh
University to compete in the Paul Short Invitational and
came away with a second place finish.
Leading the team was Aislinn Ryan with a huge win
and a new record for the 5K course. Ryan ran 17:24.9 to win
by over a minute. Ryan also missed a turn that separates the
5K course from the college 8K course and ran 50m extra.
Placing 10th in 19:29 was Amanda Robotti. Robotti’s time is
a top time and will earn her a state ranking. Finishing
strong and placing 25th was Samantha Grady in 20:12. In
29th was Melissa Mark in 20:20. Finishing the scoring for
the team was Joanna Stein in 43rd in 20:47. Right on Stein’s
heels was freshman Tori Pennings in 20:48. Caitlyn Hurley
finished 60th in 21:20 to round out the team.
When the scores were totaled Allentown Catholic had
80 as Warwick Valley totaled 97. After the race ACCHS
coach Jack Pressman spoke kindly of our team and said,
"We ambushed you. We practiced all week on this course
plus we race on it all the time. The program was welcoming home Francis Coon who debuted for Villanova and we
were psyched to do well. By contrast our girls ran the
course site unseen and without our third girl Jaclyn Young
who is recovering from a bout with bronchitis."
The JV race saw Julie Gouss finish strong and place
third in 21:18. Kristen Peluso and Kayleigh Maher continue to move up as they placed 7th and 10th, respectively.
Diana Lopez also ran with spirit and placed 14th in 22:06,
while Cara Sullivan finished the scoring for the team with
a fine 16th place finish in 22:19.
Next up for the team will be the Great American Cross
Country Festival. After that the Invitational schedule is
uncertain as a ban has been placed on Warwick students traveling to New York City. Normally the team would take part in
the Manhattan College Invitational at Van Cortland Park.

I BET
YOU DIDN’T
KNOW
Brought to you by
Eric Nilsestuen
Only 14 times in major league history has a hitter led
either the National or American League in batting average,
home runs and rbi in the same season – baseball’s Triple
Crown – and the last was Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
But only 12 players have done it, which means two did it
twice. Any guesses? They were Rogers Hornsby with St.
Louis in 1922 and 1925, and Ted Williams with Boston in
1942 and 1947. Do you know the only year in which it happened in both leagues? It was 1933, when cross-town rivals
Chuck Klein of the Phillies and Jimmie Fox of the old
Philadelphia A’s captured their respective crowns.
•••
When Peyton Manning completed a pass to Marvin
Harrison against Tennessee in December of 2003, they
became the second duo in NFL history with at least 600 completions for at least 8,000 yards. Any idea who was first? It
was Buffalo’s Jim Kelly and Andre Reed. But when it comes
to wide receiving tandems, none were more productive than
Miami’s Mark Duper and Mark Clayton from quarterback Dan
Marino. Nobody else matches their combined 1,061 catches
for 17,512 yards and 140 TDs.
•••
Who makes all those massive, high-tech, multi-tasking,
multi-screen scoreboards? Would you believe that most of
them come from tiny Brookings, South Dakota (population
about 18,000) and a company named Daktronics? As of
2004, Daktronics had created all or part of the boards in 22
of 31 NFL stadiums, 19 of 30 NHL arenas, 19 of 28 NBA
arenas, and 24 of 30 major league ballparks, including the
largest sports scoreboard in North America, a 36-by-149
monster at Cleveland’s Jacobs Field.
•••
I bet you didn’t know...that being an independent agent
means we can get the best coverage and best price from a

The Warwick Wildcats improved their record to 5-0
with wins over Division II opponents Valley Central (3-0)
and Port Jervis (10-0). The ‘Cats are also ranked 12th in the
New York State Class AA State Soccer Rankings. The complete Top 15 is listed at the end of the column.
Warwick traveled to Valley Central to play the defending Class AA Section IX runners-up from last season. VC
also eliminated the ‘Cats on penalty kicks in the sectional
tournament on their way to the final; so Warwick was looking to exact a little revenge. Led by Senior Adam Lloyd’s
two goals the Wildcats got off to a fast start leading 2-0
after 25 minutes. Early in the 2nd half Junior Brian
Kokulak knocked home a loose ball off a scramble in front
to give the visitors a commanding 3-0 lead. From that
point on the outstanding Wildcat defense refused to let VC
get near their goal. Seniors Jeff Paulik, Patrick O’Connor,
Tim Gillen, Ryan Hallisey and Juniors Connor Franklin
and Connor Leech did not allow a quality shot on goal by
the Vikings. Bobby Blaskovich and David Lloyd combined
to make four saves in the Warwick goal.
The ‘Cats returned home to host a very young and
inexperienced Port Jervis team, PJ also had a couple of
injuries so the outcome was never in doubt. Led by Adam
Lloyd’s new school record six goals, the ‘Cats easily defeated the Red Raiders 10-0. Also scoring for Warwick were
Patrick O’Connor, Jeff Paulik, Brian Kokulak, and Steve
Maggio. Recording assists were Junior Patrick Gallagher
(2), O’Connor (2), Junior Connor Franklin, and
Sophomore Patrick Akin. Once again Bobby Blaskovich
and David Lloyd did not allow a goal. The win improved
Warwick to 3-0 and first place in Division II.

Warwick Football Rushes Past FDR: 44-6
By Gregory Sirico

week.
Warwick was led by a core of talented backs
rushing for 454 yards over the FDR Presidents. The
rushing attack was led by Seniors Steven Prescod
(eight carries for 68 yards and one touchdown),
Tim Marion (six carries for 83 yards and 1 touchdown), Alex Darcey (five carries for 59 yards) and
Derek Hrinya (four carries for 48 yards and two
touchdowns).
Warwick built a 34 – 0 halftime advantage over
FDR. Junior reserve fullback John Giannino
showed what he can do, leading all rushers with 14
carries for 106 yards and one touchdown followed
by Joe Stolzenberg (three carries for 36 yards),
Anton Stewart (three carries for 28 yards and
one touchdown), Michael Marchese, Chris
Zueger, Ryan Darcey, James Fitzgerald and Rob
Lax. These fullbacks all contributed with carries
compiling over 50 yards.
The Wildcats take on the Kingston Tigers
