Youth Leadership Dines with Mayor Newhard 

Members of the Orange County Summer Youth Leadership 

Academy gathered in the Warwick Village Hall on Thurs., July 14 

to meet and have lunch at Hunan Garden with Mayor Michael 

Newhard. After hearing a brief overview of the processes that 

take place within the local village government, the young leaders 

were given the chance to ask questions regarding their planned 

community projects. 

The Summer Youth Leadership Academy is a selection of 

young adults who work to understand and expand in the areas of 

community service and leadership skills. Each member is paid a 

stipend of $25 per week for meeting and planning out community 

service events that usually benefit charities. 

The program is funded through a grant distributed by the Orange 

County Youth Bureau. In Warwick alone there are two separate 

branches of this particular Academy that meet weekly, one 

at Winslow Therapeutic Center, and one at the Warwick Community 

Center. 

One of the projects focused on in particular at this meet-andgreet 

was a charity walk-a-thon around the Village of Warwick. 

Members asked the Mayor questions about the boundaries of 

where a walk-a-thon could take place, when it could take place, 

what approval would need to be given and from whom this approval 

would be sought. 

With the mention of a potential 5K race, the Mayor responded 

saying that approval from the Village Board must be obtained 

and the necessary steps would have to take place 

beforehand. These steps include setting up roadblocks, ensuring 

the presence of town police officers to enforce these roadblocks, 

and alerting the NJ Transit system, whose busses travel through 

the town often, that certain roads may be closed for the event. 

Approval from the Warwick Village Board would not be obtained 

quickly enough due to the time constraint of this four-week 

program; therefore the team suggested an alternative charity lapa-thon 

that could take place at the high school. Excited with this 

idea, Mayor Newhard said, “I don’t think anyone has ever done 

a lap-a-thon. This would grab peoples’imaginations!” Along with

Wayne Patterson to Head Warwick Rotary Club 

The Warwick Rotary Club 

held its 35 th annual installation 

dinner on June, 15 at the Warwick 

Valley Country Club where 

Wayne Patterson was named the 

next President of the Club. 

Zielinski is First 

Student MC 

For the first time in the 35year 

history of the local service 

club, a high school student 

served as master of ceremonies 

for the installation dinner. Caroline 

Zielinski was invited to 

serve in this capacity by incoming 

president Wayne Patterson, 

who said he will emphasize 

youth programs “to develop our 

future leaders.” Zielinski, is the 

epitome of such a student, said 

Patterson. She is valedictorian 

of her 2011 graduating class, 

president of the senior class and president of the high school Interact 

Club. 

Bill Bassett, the incoming Rotary governor-elect, performed 

the oath of office, praising the Warwick club officers and members 

for being honored as one of five clubs in the 66-club, eight-county 

district to earn the prestigious “Presidential Citation with Distinction” 

from Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith.

Scam Claims 

False Affiliation with 

Warwick High 

School 

Fraudulent invoices from a vendor calling 

itself Sports Media began showing up in 

area mailboxes in March. The vendor has 

been billing local merchants $199 for Warwick 

Valley High School Spring Sports 

Poster ads. Neither the Warwick Valley 

Central School District nor the High School 

Athletics Department has any affiliation or 

contract with any such vendor. 

It appears that after cold-calling local 

businesses early this year and asking them 

to renew their participation with the high 

school, multiple invoices requesting credit 

card information or payment by check were 

initially sent from an address in Milford, 

CT. Invoices were also sent from an address 

in Santa Fe, NM. 

Invoices listed an out-of-service phone 

number of 866-816-4970 as the contact information 

for the vendor and requested that 

ad copy be sent to sportsmediaad@earthlink.net. 

Final notices threatening to turn the 

bill over to a collection agency included a 

Sports Media representative’s name of Ashley 

Armstrong. 

If you have received or paid one of 

these invoices or have any information 

that might aid authorities in their investigation, 

contact the Warwick Police Department 

at 986-3423. If you suspect 

you’re a victim visit https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx 

to send a complaint to the U.S. 

Postal Inspection Service.

By Michael P. 

Sweeton 

It was with 

great sadness that 

we learned of Governor 

Cuomo’s decision 

to close 

Mid-Orange Correctional 

Facility. While 

we all recognized 

that NYS is broke, we along with our State 

legislative representatives made the argument 

the Mid-Orange had cost effective 

advantages that made it the illogical choice 

of the two Orange County facilities, one of 

which had to close. Despite our best efforts 

we were unsuccessful and it is unlikely we 

will never know why, as the decision 

process was closed and not shared with the 

local municipality. Mid-Orange has contributed 

so much to our community over 

the past 35 plus years that its loss will be 

felt by all for many years to come. In the 

weeks ahead the Town will continue to 

work with Assemblywoman Rabbitt and 

Senator Carlucci to do whatever we can to 

ensure the dedicated employees of Mid- 

Orange are treated fairly and with respect. 

The future of the site is of grave concern 

with many rumors permeating the com- 

munity. As of this time there have been no 

discussions or decisions of how or when 

the state will dispose of the property. I can 

assure you that the Town by virtue of its 

home rule zoning powers will have a key 

role in determining what ultimately happens 

on the site. Our primary goal will be 

to get the site back on the tax roll as soon 

as possible in order to generate tax revenues 

and hopefully provide jobs for our 

community. I can also assure you that the 

Town has a proven track record of responsible 

development that respects our environment 

and its residents, which will 

certainly be the case as plans for this site 

move forward. There will be much discussion 

and public input as we determine the 

best use of this property so that it once 

again becomes an asset to the Town. 

I personally want to thank the men 

and women of Mid-Orange who have 

given so much to our community over the 

years through volunteer work, hosting of 

special fund raising events on the site and 

by the many hours of community service 

work they have provided. 

The next regular meeting of the 

Town Board will be held on Thurs., July 

21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Warwick Town Hall, 

132 Kings Highway. Please note the date 

change. 

Orange County’s Winning Envirothon Team 

For the first time in many years Orange 

County had teams participating in the 

Hudson Valley Regional Envirothon. This 

competition for high school students begins 

on the local level, then progresses to 

the State level and finally to the Canon Envirothon. 

Two teams were from Warwick 

Valley High School- Warwick was the first 

school to ever participate in the Envirothon 

from Orange County. Also, two 

teams were from the Academy at Fox Hill 

located in Walden. Fox Hill is a non-public 

Academy that is sponsored by Church 

Communities. 

Enjoy a Warwick 

Pond Tour & 

Kids Scavenger Hunt 

Garden State Koi and Aquatic Center 

will host their first annual Warwick Pond 

Tour and Kids Scavenger Hunt on Sat., July 

23. The free self-guided tour of local backyard 

ponds, streams and waterfalls will run 

from 1 to 6 p.m. 

The tour will also include a scavenger 

hunt for all kids – young and old. Fish, turtles, 

tadpoles and salamanders will be hidden 

at each tour stop for kids to find. After 

turning in their completed scavenger hunt 

sheet, someone will win a tadpole pond, 

which comes with a pump and aquatic 

plants. The drawing will be held on Mon., 

July 25. 

Free hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks 

will be available. Tickets can be picked up 

at Garden State Koi, 657 Route 94 in Warwick 

or are available by calling 651-4100 or 

emailing sales@gardenstatekoi.com.

Beautiful cascading waterfalls will be on 

display during Garden State Koi’s Warwick 

Pond Tour & Kids Scavenger. 

Thirty-three teams from seven counties 

(Columbia, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, 

Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester) 

tested their knowledge in five environmental 

categories: aquatics, soils, wildlife, 

forestry and current events. Each team also 

gave an oral presentation that was a “practice” 

for the State Envirothon event. The 

top scorer from each county was eligible 

to participate on the state level. When all 

was said and done, the 2011 Hudson Valley 

Regional Envirothon Champion was 

from Orange County– a member of the 

Academy at Fox Hill teams. 

Mardi Gras Fundraiser Brings in Over $7900

Leech, proprietor of Coquito restaurant (from left) are pictured handing a check for the 

proceeds of the event to Michelle Carter and Marge Koopman of the Warwick Ecumenical 

Food Pantry. The Mardi Gras Event was held in early March at Coquito, 

where about 80 attendees were treated to food & drink, live entertainment, and the 

chance to bid on a variety of silent auction items. The venue, food, auction items, entertainment, 

and decor were all donated. All of the proceeds, which totaled $7,903.95, 

were given directly to the Food Pantry. 

Driver’s Education will be offered by an 

independent driving school at Warwick Valley

The branch of the Academy that meets 

at the Community Center consists of 15 

youth and three leaders. One of these leaders, 

Cheryl Fox said, “I have a great team, 

Dhyana Floyd and Jason Trovato; they are 

my group leaders. There were 15 children 

chosen and we raised the bar having them interview 

because we wanted young adults 

who really wanted to pursue leadership. The 

kids choose the project to teach them leadership. 

They are great kids, very respectful. 

We’re only allowed 15, and they are paid for 

their work. We have 13, 14, and 15 yearolds.” 

Cheryl later specified that the interviewing 

process didn’t serve as a solid form 

of admittance to the team, but was simply

Ladies Night Out Aug. 25 

The 14th annual “Ladies Night Out” 

hosted by the Warwick Merchant’s Guild has 

been scheduled for Thurs., Aug. 25 from 4 

to 9 p.m. in downtown Warwick. 

A popular summer event attracting people 

from near and far, “Ladies Night Out” is 

an opportunity to come downtown and indulge 

in specials and treats offered by participating 

businesses; strolling through 

stores, sampling flavors of the restaurants, 

dancing to music or relaxing at an outdoor 

cafe, “Ladies Night Out” is a night to join 

with friends and family for an evening of 

summer fun. 

Nominations for Queen for a Day Sought 

A highlight of “Ladies Night Out” is the 

crowning of “Queen for a Day” by Mayor 

Michael Newhard; awarded to a special lady 

and her generous spirit, caring heart and selfless 

nature, the Queen receives a generous 

basket overflowing with gifts provided by 

local businesses. Completed nominations in 

250 words or less must be submitted to Style 

Counsel, 19 Main Street, by Sat., Aug. 14, 

for consideration by the Village of Warwick 

Merchants Guild. 

Interested vendors contact Tim Mullally 

at 986-6996. 

Youth Leadership Dines with Mayor continued from page 1 

there to expose the kids to future experiences 

in the leadership field. 

Apart from the planning of community 

conscious events, the team spends time on 

other endeavors such as “Fun Fridays”. During 

these days the members, through the use 

of dial-a-bus services, have gone bowling 

and will even be meeting with a dietician 

from ShopRite to learn about nutrition. Visitors 

have also stopped by the Community 

Center to interact with the children and give 

brief demonstrations of their professions. 

This Youth Leadership Academy is one 

that overall shapes its members into young 

citizens by teaching leadership qualities and 

community awareness. The skills obtained 

from attendance in such programs surpass 

the standard set that young adults of 13,14, 

and 15 would gain regularly.

Editor, 

An Orchard Comes to Warwick 

A terrific thing happened in Warwick over the past several 

months and it shouldn’t pass unnoticed. 

As many of your readers know, at the end of June, Warwick was 

awarded a fruit tree orchard in the national competition sponsored by 

the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and the Dreyer’s Foundation. A 

total of 20 orchards were up for grabs with 131 communities competing, 

representing virtually every state with Warwick pitted against 

big cities like Chicago and mid-sized cities like New Haven. 

The competition was essentially a nationwide ballot - the polling 

booth being your computer and results showing up instantaneously on 

the Internet. Since people could vote once a day, the key to success 

was getting people aware of the competition and sufficiently committed 

that they would vote every day. In other words, the competition 

was “rigged” to favor communities with great community spirit. 

In the end, as the cliché goes, it was not the size of the dog in the 

fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. Warwick passed that test 

with flying colors! While the orchard campaign was initiated and coordinated 

by Sustainable Warwick - and we feel great about that! - 

special recognition and thanks are due to School Superintendent Ray 

Bryant and business owners Bonni Oswald and Inez Freund for their 

tireless email exhortations to get out the vote. As it turned out, the 

voting was so close at the June 30th deadline - only about a 200 vote 

margin out of 26,000 - that it’s safe to say that without their efforts, 

I wouldn’t be writing this letter. 

So to everyone who voted, even if it was only a few times, know 

that your votes made the difference and feel good that you helped 

Warwick win a wonderful victory. 

The 48-tree orchard, by the way, will be located at the Warwick 

Community Center near the Community Garden. Sometime in 

Sept/Oct, several trucks will roll into town with the trees, the planting 

equipment, a supervisory crew and even a film crew! On that day, 

to be announced shortly, the Dreyers’ people have said that they will 

need 20 volunteers, but are hoping for 40 - 100. I recently emailed 

them: “This is Warwick - not a problem.”

Assistance for Local Students 

Planning for College 

By Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt 

Although students are enjoying their summer vacations, 

many college-bound students are working summer jobs, babysitting 

and mowing lawns to help afford their college education 

this fall. It is never too early, or too late, to start planning for 

college, and I am pleased to let students know about the New 

York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), a 

one-stop shop for New York State residents in pursuit of a higher 

education. 

By contacting HESC, students can learn about state and federal 

financial aid opportunities, such as the Tuition Assistance 

Program (TAP) and the New York State Higher Education Loan 

Program (NYHELPs). There is also information about financial 

aid for part-time students and scholarship opportunities. 

Additionally, HESC’s website also includes specific information 

for students paying their own tuition, parents or 

guardians who may be looking to set up a college savings account 

or need help applying for financial aid, and members of 

the military who can qualify for military scholarships and grants, 

as well as information for recent graduates regarding loan repayment 

and consolidation options. 

In today’s global economy, having an education is one of 

the most important steps students can take in order to compete 

and succeed in the future. Although tuition costs continue to rise, 

there are many affordable options and assistance available to 

anyone looking to obtain a college degree. I strongly encourage 

students to visit HESC’s website at www.hesc.org, and for students 

to contact me on Facebook or by emailing rabbitta@assembly.state.ny.us 

to share news and stories from their college 

experience, tips that other students might find helpful or to obtain 

further assistance. 

Congratulations to the Class of 2011, and good luck to them 

and all students, young and old, who may be considering college 

or other advanced degrees!

This Week in 

Orange County 

By County Executive Edward A. Diana 

If you’re like me, the warm weather of summer probably finds 

you spending more time outdoors. For your health and safety, it’s important 

to take some precautions to safeguard against Lyme disease 

and rabies, which can be prevalent this time of year. 

Rabies and Lyme Disease Prevention 

Dr. Jean M. Hudson, Orange County Commissioner of Health, 

reminds residents that prevention is essential when it comes to Lyme 

and rabies. For rabies, it starts with a pet’s owner – be sure to have 

your family pet properly vaccinated. When the family pet is unvaccinated 

and exposed to rabies it can threaten the lives of all family 

members, warns Dr. Hudson. In addition to keeping vaccinations current, 

she offers some easy-to-follow tips to protect against rabies: 

never touch unfamiliar or wild animals; avoid direct contact with 

stray animals as they may not have been vaccinated against rabies; if 

you are bitten, wash bite wounds with soap and water and seek medical 

attention immediately; if your pet is bitten, consult your veterinarian 

immediately; never adopt wild animals, including cats, kittens, 

dogs, and puppies or bring them into your home; do not try to nurse 

sick or injured wild animals back to health. Call animal control or an 

animal rescue group so they can care for the animal safely; and make 

sure your trash cans are secure and do not leave pet food out. You do 

not want to attract wild animals near your home. 

When it comes to Lyme disease, prevention of tick bites is critical. 

You should do a tick check daily on yourself, your children, and 

pets. Scan your body for ticks at the end of each day or first thing in 

the morning, especially if pets sleep on the bed. Pay special attention 

to scalp, hairline, ears, armpits, waistband area, groin, and behind the 

knees. Feel for tiny bumps that may feel like a scab, but may actually 

be a feeding tick. You should also avoid areas where ticks are most 

abundant, including wooded areas, tall grass, brush, and bushes. 

When you do go into those areas wear protective clothing. In addition, 

wear light-colored clothing to spot ticks that are crawling on 

you. Tuck shirt into pants and pants into socks. Ticks should be removed 

as soon as possible. If ticks are removed within 24 hours of attaching, 

the risk of getting Lyme disease is minimal. 

If a tick is found attached to the skin, remove it with care. Ticks 

should never be removed with fingers, chemicals, petroleum jelly, or 

lighters. Chemicals, heat, or squeezing the body of the tick can force 

the bacteria that cause Lyme disease into the site. Ticks should only 

be removed with tweezers, pulling upward, with a steady, gentle 

force. If the mouthpiece breaks off, remove it as you would a splinter. 

Apply antiseptic to the site after removal, wash your hands thoroughly, 

and contact your healthcare provider. 

Visit the Health Department pages on the County website at 

www.orangecountygov.com for more information about clinics, testing, 

and prevention. 

Until next week, wishing you good health and happiness. 

Hayworth Fights to Stop 

Government Insourcing 

Rep. Nan Hayworth, M.D., joined by 20 of her House colleagues, 

sent a letter on July 14 to House Appropriations Committee 

Chairman Harold Rogers regarding current government insourcing 

policies and urged him to keep anti-competition, anti-free enterprise 

provisions from the remaining House appropriations bills this year. 

According to a statement released by Hayworth, “The current 

Administration’s insourcing policy is having a detrimental effect on 

our private sector as our taxpayers’ hard earned dollars are being 

spent on more expensive insourced federal contracts. Hayworth and 

her colleagues believe that private-public competition must remain in 

every agency and department throughout the Federal Government. 

Current government insourcing policies frequently result in higher 

costs, lower quality, and less support for local businesses.” 

In the letter Hayworth and her colleagues stated their conviction 

that Congress should continue to encourage small business and private 

sector job creation, not protect inefficient monopolies inside the 

bureaucracy.

On The Tip of Your Tongue 

“Do You Feel That Anyone in Washington is Sincere About 

Solving the Budget and Debt Ceiling Problem?” 

By Simone and Stella Rose Schneeberg 

Photography by Ben Schneeberg 

“I think both parties are sincere. They are both playing political 

games, though. I’d like to see them increase the debt 

ceiling today. If they keep pushing it back then the financial 

markets are going to end up with another crisis.” 

Vincent Schiavo 

IT Manager 

“I think they are trying to be sincere in solving the debt problem 

but it’s still questionable. It’s taking them a little longer 

than it should. I’d like them to get rid of the debt. I don’t 

know what to do. That’s why we need those people in Washington 

trying to work it out. If they don’t solve it, it will 

make problems for the country. There will be loss of jobs: 

the poor will just get poorer and the rich will get richer.” 

Jodi Santangelo 

Stay-at-Home Mom 

“I would hope so! I am faithful that there are some people 

that are sincere. At this point, though, it doesn’t sound like 

they are handling it well. I’d like to see the budget solved 

but we shouldn’t go into any reserve fund. I’m not too political 

but I think people who earn more money should pay 

more taxes so it’s equal. That might help bring the debt 

down.” 

Kim Ormsby 

Dietician 

“Of course, everybody is sincere and they are handling it 

well. They should raise the debt ceiling but I’m not too familiar 

with the debate about raising taxes. I think richer people 

should pay taxes like everybody else but I’m not too sure 

that would fix the budget.”

Rev. Barker Elected Bishop 

of Nebraska 

By Siobhan Barton 

Father J. 

Scott Barker, rector 

of Christ Episcopal 

Church in 

Warwick, has 

been elected 

Bishop of the 

Diocese of Nebraska. 

Barker, 

48, will be given 

a great deal more 

r e s p o n s i b i l i t y 

than his familiar 

house of worship 

on South Street in 

the Village of 

Warwick. 

The new 

Bishop will oversee 

about fiftyfive 

churches, 

given he satisfies 

the credentials for 

consecration. Although Barker was officially 

elected in June, he says one must undergo 

several weeks of screening before they can 

be sworn in. 

The credentialing requires a psychological 

evaluation, a physical, which Fr. Barker 

claims was his first since he became a rector, 

and countless meetings with clergy and 

boards. 

“With all of this stuff being thrown at 

me at once,” said the Reverend, “it felt a little 

like being hit by a tidal wave.” 

Barker became a priest in 1992 at Trinity 

Cathedral in Virginia after abandoning pursuit 

of a career in law. He recalled it came as a shock 

to his high school friends, who responded with, 

“You have got to be kidding me.” 

Though at the time the young reverend may 

not have seemed the priestly type, reminisced 

Barker, he believed he had the right qualities. 

“The best priests I know did a lot of living,” 

he explained, “They are the most understanding 

and they are the best listeners.” 

In 2002, Barker found his Warwick position 

and moved here with his wife, Anne, 

and his children - Emily and Sam. Since then 

he had served as head of Christ Church with 

no expectation that he would be nominated 

Local country music duo “Double Shot” 

will play at the Pine Island Black Dirt Farmers 

Market on Sat., July 23 from 11 a.m. to 1 

p.m. Shop the market and bring lawn chairs 

to enjoy the music of Peter Stika and Robert 

Valentine featuring new and old country favorites. 

Stika and Valentine are instructors at 

Warwick School of Music and frequently 

play at local venues. 

The Warwick School of Music, located 

in Pine Island, is the day’s featured Chamber 

Business Partner, and the Community 

Partner will be SMILES FOR BRENNA, a 

Rev. J. Scott Barker 

bishop. Then, 

during a year long 

sabbatical in 

Spain, things 

changed. 

While hiking 

on a pilgrim trail 

called El Camino 

de Santiago, Fr. 

Barker decided he 

was called to be a 

bishop. When he 

returned to America 

he announced 

his decision, and 

that same day he 

received a cell 

phone voicemail 

mentioning the 

open position. It 

was what he 

called a “shot in 

the arm of hope 

and excitement.” 

“There were only a couple dioceses in 

the whole world that I would’ve imagined 

myself serving in, and this was one of them,” 

he said. 

The consecration ceremony, expected to 

occur in October, will house 1,000 people, 

much more of an audience than any Nebraska 

Episcopal church can hold. Barker 

says the event happens so infrequently that 

most Nebraska churches are classroom sized 

for around twenty members. Instead, the 

“beautiful and ancient” celebration will be 

held in a large hotel ballroom. There, the incoming 

bishop will read prayers while additional 

bishops preside to witness the event. 

Associate Rector Suzanne Wille is 

likely to be assigned to interim Scott 

Barker’s position, while a governing vestry 

meets to elect a new rector for Christ 

Church. The process takes over a year and 

no details have been discussed. 

When asked about leaving Warwick, 

Barker’s eyes welled with tears. He sat pensive 

for a moment to find the right words. 

“I am deeply ambivalent,” he said. 

“This is a great community and it will be 

very hard to say goodbye.”

Fun Atmosphere at Florida Board Meeting 

By Lisa Rice 

The mood was light at the Village of Florida Board meeting 

on Wed., July 13, befitting a warm summer evening, as 

the Mayor, Board members, Building Inspector and Department 

of Public Works (DPW) Supervisor took lighthearted 

jabs at each other and the agenda of the evening. 

Water & Sewer Reports ‘Nice’ 

The first chuckle came early in the meeting, following 

quick reports of status quo by the three attending trustees, 

Thomas Fuller, Thomas Chevrier and Brian Slattery. Mayor 

James Pawliczek acknowledged that trustee John Barczak was 

not in attendance and asked if one of the other trustees was 

asked to provide his report. In response, he was handed several 

sheets of paper, apparently the report submitted by Barczak. 

He looked at the sewer report briefly and tossed it on the 

table commenting that it was a nice report. Then he looked at 

the water report, noted the quantity of water used by the Village 

and the Orange County jail, commented that the jail used 

more water than normal and moved on to unfinished business. 

Discussing parking lot bids, two bids, the lowest two, 

were declared ineligible because they were submitted with errors 

or omitted specific details on the project. It was decided 

to table the bids to a work session at which time the board 

would look into whether it would be cheaper for the DPW to 

do the paving job. DPW Supervisor Timothy Brunswick said 

that he would contact Warwick and Chester to look into utilizing 

pavers and rollers from the other municipalities to assist 

the Board in making the best determination. The next work 

session is Mon., July 25 at 7 p.m. in the Village Hall. 

Public Hearing on Zoning Amendments 

Glenmere Preserve architect, Gary Warshauer addressed 

the Board on behalf of Jeff Rosenberg to discuss suggested 

amendments to the Village code zoning law and request the 

scheduling of a public hearing. Village attorney Bernard 

Kunert immediately stated that he had a problem with the fact 

that there were inaccuracies in the draft of the law and quickly 

learned that he had not read the revised document that had 

been included with their packets for the meeting. The Mayor 

teased surprise that the attorney read the entire document. 

The proposed amendments would alter the zoning law requirements 

as they pertain to planned adult communities to 

increase the sustainability and marketability of the dwellings. 

Amendments would include reducing the minimum square 

footage from 1800 to 1100. A short debate over amending the 

law to permit flat roofs, with the Mayor suggesting his feeling 

that it’s better to have some sort of pitch and the architect stating 

that it was basically to allow for mansard roofs for rooftop 

landscaping, was determined to need more consideration. A 

public hearing was scheduled for Wed., Aug. 10 at 7:30 p.m. 

Full text of the amendments will appear in the Warwick Valley 

Dispatch prior to the opening of the hearing. 

When discussing an offer to have a GPS system for Village 

vehicles demonstrated, the Board determined that there 

was no benefit, joking that the DPW Supervisor had to watch 

half the Village fleet and the Police Department the other. 

Increased Permit Fees 

Building Inspector Adrian Mateosian became the target 

of a few barbs when a motion to increase building permit fees 

at his request was discussed. In order to bring the Village’s 

fees more into alignment with other municipalities, he suggested 

raising the base cost of an application from $25 to $50

and increasing the cost of usable floor area from 40 cents per 

square foot to 50 cents per square foot to include residential 

and commercial uses such as additions, decks and garages. 

Permits for roofs, fences, wells, etc. would be $50 plus $5 each 

$1,000 of stated value over $3,000. 

Mateosian’s request also included allowing the Building 

Inspector to have the right to charge additional fees based upon 

an hourly rate for actual time expended. The Mayor expressed 

concern over the wording, which Mateosian claimed was 

taken from Warwick’s code. The Mayor commented about the 

authority requested, stating “maybe you don’t like a guy.” Mateosian 

responded, “I’m not like that,” to which the Mayor 

said, “Not you, but maybe the next guy.” 

Kunert then informed the Board that the increase could not 

be done by resolution, but required a public hearing. The hearing 

is scheduled for Wed., Aug. 10 at 7:35 p.m., omitting granting 

the right for the Building Inspector to charge additional fees; 

which might be reworded and discussed in the future. 

Please Don’t Read the Resolution 

The next agenda item was to consider increasing the bond 

resolution to complete the Village Hall addition from $200,000 

to $300,000. The typed text of the resolution began on page 

five of the agenda and ended on page seven and it quickly became 

apparent that no one wanted to sit through the reading of 

the text. The comments began with Village Engineer Gerald 

McDonald stating “it’s a very nice resolution.” Others stated 

that they’d already read it, everyone had it in front of them, 

even asking the Mayor if he really felt like reading all that text. 

In response, the Mayor allowed it to go right to a role call vote, 

with four in favor, none opposed. 

The meeting was not over yet though, it being time for 

the DPW Supervisor, Timothy Brunswick to get teased as the 

Board discussed his recommendation to purchase a new HondaVP-1550AW 

Plate Compactor from E.P. Nursery in the 

amount of $1,550. Brunswick was asked if he was going to 

go up on Scanlon Avenue with the vehicle, a reference to the 

ATV complaints being brought to the Board. 

What to do with Florida Feral Cats 

Before the meeting ended, a local resident, Andrew Howells, 

complained during the public comment portion of the 

meeting that his neighbor was feeding wild cats and causing 

problems all over the neighborhood on Sturr Lane. 

Trustee Slattery stated that he had spoken to the woman, 

who insisted that she doesn’t feed the animals. Howells disagreed 

and was backed up by Mateosian, who stated that the 

woman did feed the cats. Adoption of a law regarding feral 

cats, similar to the one in the Village of Warwick was discussed; 

however, it was again determined that it would not be 

something that would be costly for the Village. 

According to Mateosian, since the Warwick Valley Humane 

Society doesn’t handle cat control, a cat control officer 

would have to be appointed. That officer would have to trap 

the cats, take them to be spayed or neutered and then return 

them to the location where found. It was generally agreed that 

the action did not solve the problem at hand. Several, more 

permanent means of removal were tossed out among the meeting 

attendees, but none reflected the official position of the 

Board of Trustees. 

Next Meeting Set for Aug. 10 

The next meeting of the Village of Florida Board of 

Trustees will be held on Wed., Aug. 10 at 7:30 p.m. beginning 

with the two scheduled public hearings.

Rabbitt Blasts MTA Payroll 

Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt blasted the Metropolitan 

Transportation Authority (MTA) in a statement released 

on Tues., July 12, responding to a report that the agency has 

increased salaries since 2009 despite “the fact that in 2009 

the MTA asked the State Legislature for a multi-billion dollar 

bailout and imposed the job-killing payroll tax.” 

“This news is outrageous, especially in light of the fact 

that the governor and legislature worked very hard this year 

to rein in spending and asked everyone—from state employees 

to school teachers and local workers—to do more 

with less. Even the governor, who makes less than some 

MTA conductors, took a 5 percent pay cut. The people of 

New York State know how bad the economy is and are willing 

to make the shared sacrifice; but, apparently, the MTA is 

above that,” said the assemblywoman. 

Earlier that day, the Empire Center for New York State 

Policy unveiled that MTA salaries had been posted to 

www.SeeThroughNY.net, a government-accountability website 

run by the Empire Center. MTA employees received an 

average total salary of $72,019 in 2010. This is an increase 

of nearly 4 percent from 2009. 

There Is Still Time to Host 

a Fresh Air Child! 

Summer vacation is upon us and the opportunity to 

make it memorable for a New York City child still stands! 

Thanks to the many families in the Mid-Hudson West area 

and throughout 13 Northeastern states and Canada, more 

than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income 

neighborhoods have enjoyed free summer experiences in 

suburban and small town communities through The Fresh 

Air Fund. The Fund is currently seeking more families to 

give inner-city children a two-week experience this summer. 

By volunteering as a host family for the Friendly Town program, 

residents can help give a child a break from the heat 

and noise of the crowded city streets. 

There are no financial requirements for hosting a Fresh 

Air child. First-time visitors are six to twelve years old, and 

second-time youngsters may participate in the Friendly Town 

program through age 18. 

To learn more about hosting a Fresh Air child this summer, 

please contact Deniece Carter at 313-1280, or call The 

Fresh Air Fund at (800) 367-0003 or check out www.freshair.org. 

Governor Bans Sale of 

Hallucinogenic ‘Bath Salts’ 

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently signed a law to 

ban certain substances dangerously marketed as “bath salts” 

from sale, manufacturing, possession, and distribution in 

New York State. This legislation addresses products labeled 

as “bath salts” being sold online and in small convenience 

stores and other retail outlets across the State. The compounds 

often contain a number of synthetic chemicals that 

function as a legal alternative to hallucinogenic drugs. Use of 

these products has resulted in violent reactions, often leading 

to hospitalizations and sometimes death. This law adds the 

synthetic drugs, methylenedioxypyrovalerone, also known 

as MDPV, and methoxymethcathinone, also known as medphedrone, 

to the Schedule I list of controlled substances, banning 

the use, sale, distribution and manufacturing of products 

that contain at least one of these compounds.

The Warwick Jazz Festival 

The Warwick Valley Jazz Festival will 

begin its second year from Aug. 18 -21. The 

event, conceived and produced by Warwick 

musician Steve Rubin, pulls together a growing 

jazz community and an expanding local 

music scene. It also promotes tourism by encouraging 

visitors to come to the area to 

enjoy this original American musical art 

form. 

Last year the jazz festival was the subject 

of a cover story in Orange Magazine and 

received mention in New York City’s Village 

Voice newspaper. The festival and Savage 

Tunes have a soon to be released video about 

the festival and community support. 

The jazz festival is a collective umbrella 

where already existing venues that present 

jazz come together in Warwick with new 

participants to create a four-day jazz festival. 

Most shows are free and the variety of music 

runs from big band to funk; the environment, 

from outdoors on Rail Road Avenue on the 

Green to an indoor bookstore setting. 

The Warwick Valley Jazz Festival is supported 

by Arts in Orange and local sponsors. For 

information contact warwickjazz@yahoo.com 

or visit warwickvalleyjazzfest.com for the complete 

schedule.

The 7th Annual Sundays in July Free

from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Bertoni Gallery Sculpture 

Garden at 1392 Kings Hwy, Sugar Loaf. 

From 1 to l: 45 p.m. is “Law and Paradise.” 

Hudson Valley’s Bonnie Law and 

Jamie Lynne Paradise’s musical styles mesh 

in almost dreamlike sequences. Law’s gypsy 

flamenco jazz style of guitar playing compliments 

Paradise’s fancy renaissance-esque 

mandolin and flute playing. Together their 

sound is upbeat, soothing and mystical. 

Following up from 2 until 3:30 p.m. is 

the Sarah Morr Band. Orange County’s 

Sarah Morr will be debuting with her new 

band featuring Sarah on rhythm guitar and 

vocals, Peter Rockerman, of Warwick, on 

lead guitar, Brianna Jenkins on bass, synthe- 

sizer, and vocals, and Alli Fox on drums. 

Their sound is a catchy blend of hypnotic 

acoustic/electric groove infused with new 

wave rock ‘n’ roll. 

The final act, from 3:45 until 5 p.m., is 

Evan and Ariel. Evan Teatum is an “acoustically 

rooted” multi-instrumentalist, putting on 

high energy shows wherever he performs. 

Teaming up with longtime-friend singer/songwriter 

Ariel, the twosome’s soft and soulful 

harmonies compliment each other perfectly, 

and will lead you on a journey through the ins 

and outs of each song. 

This all ages event is sponsored by Warwick 

School of Music. Bring a chair, a friend 

or just a smile and spend the day in Sugar 

Loaf. For more information go online at

By Lisa Rice 

Recently St. Stephen’s Church welcomed 

a new parochial vicar, Father Casmir 

Mung’aho, after Father Robert Bubel accepted 

a new assignment at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. 

As the word spread about Father Bob’s departure, 

the news was also given that St. Stephen’s 

would be home to another newly-ordained 

priest; its fourth consecutive priest whose first 

assignment was St. Stephen’s. 

Father Casmir moved to the United States 

from his native Tanzania almost six years ago. 

Besides New York, he has also lived in 

Chicago. He attended St. Joseph’s Seminary, 

like predecessors Father Bob, Father Patrick 

Buckley and Father Thomas Byrnes, before 

being ordained in May. 

However, Father Casmir was no stranger 

to Orange County; he did summer internships 

in Sacred Heart of Jesus in Highland Falls, 

where he celebrated his first mass on Sun., 

May 15. When he arrived in Warwick, there 

was a familiar face to welcome him; he attended 

the seminary with Nicholas Fernandez, 

a seminary student who has spent the past 

three summers at St. Stephens. 

Always Wanted to be a Priest 

One of ten children of Alexacha Cacha 

and Zita Kasigwa Mung’aho, Casmir always 

wanted to be a priest, a career choice that is 

highly esteemed in Tanzania. The priesthood is 

not considered an unusual choice in Tanzania, 

where according to Father Casmir, support and 

respect for the church is very high. In fact, one 

of his brothers is also a priest back home. He 

is aware of negative perceptions of the priesthood 

in the United States and realizes that he 

needs to be a role model to others and “be an 

example everyday.” 

An opportunity to do so arrived shortly 

after his arrival in Warwick when he got to 

spend two weeks with 246 parish children enrolled 

in grade three to seven in the summer 

religious education program. During the two 

weeks, he was able to preach to the children 

as well as interact with them in the classrooms. 

He even joined 

in the Full Armor 

concert on the 

lawn at St. 

S t e p h e n ’ s 

Church playing 

the bongos. 

S p o r t i n g 

sneakers and a 

nypriest.com tee 

shirt, Father Casmir 

also participated 

in some 

basketball and 

soccer games. 

He even worked 

at teaching the 

children to say 

the Hail Mary in 

Swahili, one of 

several languages 

he 

speaks. Besides 

English and 

Swahili, Father 

Casmir speaks 

the languages of his parents’ tribes, Kengoreme 

and Kikwayr. 

“In Africa, we come from big families,” 

he said, when asked how he liked working 

with the children. “I just love it. They’re wonderful. 

I think I’m going to focus on how to 

teach kids; it’s just a good thing.” 

Let the Children Come to Me 

The addition of Father Casmir was more 

than welcomed by the children in the program, 

who sat at rapt attention when he spoke to 

them in church; when he exchanged high fives 

and fist pumps on the sports field; or when he 

stopped to teach them greetings or just ask 

how their day was going. His youth and energy 

proved a benefit for the kids, who previously 

enjoyed playing sports with Father Bob 

and seminarian Nick. By the end of the twoweek 

period, the children were comfortable 

with the priest and while offering respect also 

accepted him as a friend. 


Welcoming a New Face at St. Stephenʼs Church 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One thing Father Casmir 

would like to do is reach out 

to the children who attend 

public school and are not 

around the church as often as 

the students enrolled at St. 

Stephens. 

“The middle school is right 

here,” he said, motioning 

across West St. “The kids like 

games, like soccer,” he said, 

beginning to brainstorm 

reaching out to those students. 

Already he is looking to find a 

way to affect the parishioners 

of St. Stephen’s and the community 

of Warwick that has 

welcomed him. 

“People are very good 

here,” he said. “I feel at home. 

Father Michael [McLaughlin] 

is such a great person. The 

community and its people work 

together.” 

Perhaps it is the Warwick 

community that makes St. 

Stephen’s Church a successful 

first assignment for the newly ordained. 

After beginning at St. 

Stephen’s, Father Tom is pastor 

at Sacred Heart Church in Monroe, 

Father Pat is administrator of 

St. Christopher’s in Red Hook 

and effective July 1, Father Bob 

is a parochial vicar at St. Patrick’s 

Cathedral in New York City. 

Oddly, while St. Stephen’s 

has helped to strengthen three 

young priests, it has yet to have a 

priest emerge from its parish; 

perhaps the influence of Father 

Casmir will lead another young 

man from Warwick to hear his 

calling. Only time will tell.

Father Casmir held the children’s attention during his sermons. 

He also taught them the Sign of the Cross & the Hail 

Mary in Swahili.

Father Casmir was right at home on the soccer field with students in the St. Stephen’s 

Summer Religious Education Camp. One of ten children, he intends to ‘be an example 

everyday.’

The fifth graders of Kings Elementary celebrated their graduation 

from elementary school on June 21 with a candy themed extravaganza. 

Throughout the year the students were polled to select their 

party theme, cake type and commemorative tee-shirt colors. The PTA 

tallied their votes and created “Kings Kandyland.” 

Through the hard work of dedicated volunteers, the elementary 

school was transformed into a candy wonderland. Graduates and their 

parents were immediately transported into a world of “Pure Imagination” 

as they approached the school entrance and heard that very Willy 

Wonka song being played outside. Beyond a gigantic Hershey Kiss 

entryway, a technicolor feast for the eyes and body awaited. A “Kings 

Kandyland” entry archway, cotton candy waterfall, gumdrop trail, 

candy-adorned tree forest, gumball machine centerpieces and candy 

shop wall coverings were among an endless list of candy-themed details. 

When they weren’t dancing or snacking, the students were able 

pose in a life-size Hershey Bar cutout for photos and create their own 

sundaes at an ice cream bar. 

One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation and cutting 

of the magnificent candy-themed red velvet cake created by none 

other than Buddy, “The Cake Boss” Valastros! 

When the evening came to an end each child left with a gift set 

that included color memory books featuring a gumball machine with 

each fifth grader’s face portrayed in a gumball, “Class of 2018” insulated 

lunch sacks, personalized dog tag necklaces, DVDs containing 

a slideshow of photos and videos collected throughout their years at 

Kings, mini gumball machines and, of course, candy! The evening 

created many sweet memories that are sure to last a lifetime!

Rabbitt Working to Keep 

Prison Workers Employed 

Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt remains a strong opponent 

of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s decision to close the 

Mid-Orange Correctional Facility. However, despite her ardent 

opposition to the governor’s decision, she is focusing 

on ensuring the employees of the prison remain employed 

and helping the Town of Warwick obtain as much of the $50 

million in economic development funding as possible and 

other economic development measures to help the town 

move forward successfully. 

In his Executive Budget, Governor Cuomo proposed 

closing 3,500 beds from the state’s prison system to help 

consolidate expenses and reduce state spending. On June 29, 

2011, DOCS reported that out of 64,115 total available 

prison beds, 8,202 beds were currently empty. Earlier this 

month, he announced that seven prisons in the state would be 

closed because these prisons were not at full capacity, including 

Mid-Orange. Assemblywoman Rabbitt immediately 

called the governor’s office and was assured that all 320 employees 

would be reassigned to other facilities. 

Assemblywoman Rabbitt has been actively working 

with the governor’s office to ensure no employees lose their 

jobs and that the town receives as much economic development 

aid as possible. She said, “I have spoken with the governor’s 

office many times since the announcement was 

made, and I will continue working with them to make sure 

my constituents are heard and treated fairly.” 

According to Rabbitt, “The governor’s transition team 

will be releasing more information in the coming weeks regarding 

his decision and how he hopes to help employees 

and municipalities cope with the closure of Mid-Orange. 

Human Resource officials will be meeting with employees at 

the facility next week to further discuss transfer and continued 

employment options with them.” 

Leboffe Joins Provident Bank 

Provident Bank has announced that Thomas Leboffe of 

Warwick has joined the Bank as Business Manager and Assistant 

Vice President with responsibility for managing the 

overall sales and customer services operations of the bank’s

Host Families Needed 

In August, Academic Year in America (AYA) is 

looking for Warwick families to host high school exchange 

students from all over the world. 

This year, AYA is bringing hundreds of high school 

students to the U.S. to learn about American culture 

while living with volunteer host families and studying at 

high schools across the nation. American families have 

the unique opportunity to learn about the student’s culture 

during this mutually rewarding exchange. 

Students are ages 15 to 18 and arrive with full medical 

insurance, spending money, and the hopes of experiencing 

life in America through the eyes of a caring host 

family. The students stay with their host for five or 10 

months and attend the local high school. 

To learn more about hosting an exchange student 

with AYA, call Stella at (800) 322-4678, ext. 5164, or 

email aya.info@aifs.org. Visit AYA on the web at

Chemistry Class Mystery Play Gets Kids Hooked on Science 

In a creative effort to get elementary school children interested 

in science, Warwick Valley High School Advanced 

Placement Chemistry students collaborated to produce a 

“who done it?” mystery play for the students in Sanfordville 

Elementary School’s PIE (Parents as Partners in Education) 

grades 3/4 program. 

Led by WVHS science teacher Dorothy Smith, the 

chemistry students wrote, directed, designed, and performed 

a clever and colorful dramatization of a murder mystery, 

“What’s the Scoop?” with an ice cream shop theme and setting. 

The elementary school students were then invited onto 

the stage and, led by the high school students, solved the 

 

murder themselves through a series of hands-on forensic experiments, 

including matching blood samples, matching hair 

samples, saliva testing, fingerprinting, sugar content, and 

chromatography. 

“What’s the Scoop?” was created by the following AP 

Chemistry students: Sarah Angle, Davidta Brown, Gerard 

Debold, Noel Di Bona, Abigail Hintermeister, Adrian Stelmach, 

Daniel Zakzewski, Caroline Zielinski, Matthew Anderson, 

Sebastian Belfanti, Timothy Beyer, Kaylee 

Denmead, Graham Glasse, Christopher Grogan, Thomas 

Keane, Robert Linkens, Thais Nunez, Elise Pennington, Kiri 

Ramos, Adam Ross-Hirsch, and Allissa Younan. 


After the performance, chemistry student Kaylee Denmead 

helps a Sanfordville student with a fingerprinting 

project.

SPORTS FANS! 

I BET YOU 

DIDN’T 

KNOW 

Brought to You By Richard Savino 

Can you figure out how two major league players could 

play for two different teams on the same day? It happened 

on May 30, 1922, when the arch-rival Chicago 

Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals squared off for a Memorial 

Day doubleheader. Max Flack was a member of the 

Cubs, while Cliff Heathcote played for the Cardinals. 

But after the first game they were traded for each other, 

so each played one game for each team. 

••• 

When slumping Andruw Jones batted ninth for the Yankees 

in a May 2011 game, he joined Hall of Famer Jimmie 

Foxx as the only two players with 400 career home 

runs to start a game batting ninth. Jones’ case is somewhat 

understandable because of the DH, but how did 

Foxx ever end up hitting last, when the DH wasn’t instituted 

until 1973? Well, in 1945, when the aging star was 

playing for the Phillies, so many top players were serving 

America in World War II that Foxx actually pitched 

a few games, thus dropping him to the ninth spot in the 

batting order.

The grueling sport of marathon running just keeps growing. 

In the mid 1970s, approximately 25,000 runners 

completed marathons in the United States. By 1980, the 

number had increased to nearly 145,000. And according 

to Running USA, in 2009 almost 470,000 people finished 

marathons in this country alone. Moreover, that 

same year, more than 30 marathon races made their 

debut in the U.S., not only in big cities but in towns as 

small as Kenosha, Wisconsin.

NY Law Restricts Sale of Ipecac Syrup 

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently signed into law new restrictions 

regarding the sale of ipecac syrup, removing a drug that 

has been harmful to individuals with eating disorders from publicly 

accessible pharmacy shelves. 

Often distributed to induce vomiting in poison cases, there has 

recently been an increase in ipecac abuse among individuals suffering 

from eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge 

eating. Abuse of ipecac can lead to skin conditions, cardiac and 

skeletal muscle weakness, and electrolyte imbalance, with potentially 

fatal results. Under the new law, any retailer that sells ipecac 

will be required to either sell the drug from behind the counter or 

in a shelf location accessible only by store management. The new 

law will take effect immediately.
