Bright Skies Welcomes Patrons to Village Sidewalk Sale
Sales Rack - Bob Maxwell of Style Counsel offered great sales on sportswear.
By Lon Tytell
The Warwick Sidewalk Sale held Sat., July 9, and Sun.,
July 10, attracted many people. Stores and restaurants
located on Main Street and Railroad Avenue offered shoppers opportunities to take advantage of many bargains.
Representatives from non-profit organizations were on
hand to give information to patrons.
Members of the Union A.M.E. Church sold tickets to
the Gospel Explosion which will be held on Oct. 1 at the
Paramount Theater in Middletown. Refreshments, mugs,
and T-shirts were available for purchase. All proceeds collected will benefit the building of their new church scheduled to be built in 2006.
Jaime Phillips, Public Relations Coordinator for
Winslow Therapeutic Center solicited for volunteers and
provided information of upcoming programs and events.

Annual Countryside Garden Tour is Breathtaking
By Lon Tytell
Over 400 patrons of this year's Garden Tour, sponsored by the Warwick Valley Gardener's Club, marveled at
the breathtaking beauty of the town and entered into a
world of majestic solitude and appreciation. The owners of
the six gardens, who generously allowed the public to view
their labor of love, spent numerous hours displaying creativity and imagination to make this tour possible.
A map, directions, pink and green Garden Tour signs,
and rose flags greatly assisted the self guided tour. The
money raised from the Garden Tour is returned to the
town by planting and maintaining nine public gardens.
Azariah Ketchum House
First stop on the tour was the Azariah Ketchum House
which featured a quaint garden, reflective of the Federal
style New York Townhouse Garden found in the late 1700's.
Designed by Timothy Lewis and executed by Gene Vidal of
Ridgeview Landscape Gardens, it is a unique display using
the restricted space available on the grounds. The rectangular English boxwood garden surrounds Austrian painted
ferns and Italian shepherd statues. Along the back wall are
plantings of cypress mountain laurel, rhododendron, and
other evergreens. New Dawn roses encircle the upper terrace. The grounds are maintained by the Warwick
Historical Society.

Publication No.666800
A Garden in the Woods
Second stop on the tour was “A Garden in the Woods.”
After passing through an extended archway, patrons
entered into a plethora of perennials planted by Candice
and John Sandfort, who started their garden from scratch.

WARWICK VALLEY DISPATCH, JULY 13, 2005
Planners Approve Winslow Four-Lot
Subdivision
By Scott Webber
The Warwick Town Planning Board gave final
approval for two subdivisions and looked at plans of three
others in a short one-hour meeting on Wed., July 6.
Final approval went to Theresa Granito and Amy
Feldman for a four-lot minor subdivision known as “Eagle
Trace” on the east side of Rout 94 and Route 17A, some
1,600 feet southwest of its intersection with Minturn Road.
Portions of the property are located at the end of Ridgeway
Loop.
The approval requires all the homeowners to share in
the use and maintenance of the private road and further
requires that they recognize and allow farmers the use of
the road since it is in an agriculture area.
The developer said that the development will not be
visible from Routes 94 and 17A and that there will be no
further subdivision applications.
The second final approval went to Winslow
Therapeutic Riding Unlimited for a four-lot minor subdivision known as “Continental View Estates” on the southwest side of Route 17A and 400 feet south of Cascade Road
on 101.5 acres, 80 acres of which will remain as open space.
Homes will be built on three of the lots, the fourth will be
for agricultural use by the applicant.
Since all structures will not be more than 30 feet in
height, the Board approved it in compliance with the
Ridgeline Overlay requirements under the zoning code to
protect the scenic views in the town.
The sale of the three lots will provide funds for the riding operation.
In a review of two more applications, the Board ruled
that the two be ready for the next available meeting agenda
for public hearings.
These include the application of Kenneth Luft for a
proposed 22 lot plus two affordable homes and that of
Columbia Gas Transmission, Inc. to replace 3.54 miles of
pipeline.
Luft is proposing his development on the north side of
Newport Bridge Road, at the intersection with Blooms
Corners Road.
Columbia Gas wants to replace the pipeline from
Whitefield Avenue east to Greenwood Lake, portions of
which are in “A Designated Protection Area” of the
Appalachian Trail. One of the six representatives that
appeared Wednesday night noted that project is within the
jurisdiction of the federal government, that they came as
gesture of goodwill in observing town zoning code provisions.
The Board also looked over the plans of Carl LaMarca
who wants to subdivide 11.8 acres into a two-lot minor
subdivision on the east side of Penaluna Road, east of Old
Dutch Hollow Road. He will live on a 6.7-acre lot and create a second 5.1-acre lot. No action was taken.
Warwick Day Care Adds Board Members
On Wed., April 27, Warwick Day Care Center (WDC),
a non-profit childcare center in operation for over 35 years,
held its Annual Board of Directors meeting. The meeting
took off with a presentation from the accountants of
Cooper & Niemann speaking of the center’s sound financial structure. The highlight of the evening was a video
presentation that encompasses the center’s mission and
philosophy. The video was made possible by the generosity
of Warwick Valley Telephone (WVT) and is available for
prospective parents to view. Later, the staff gave
PowerPoint presentations of program curricula and highlights from each child group reflecting the past year.
At the meeting, existing Board Directors: Jack
Berkowitz, Rudy Breedy, Dolores Freed, Jim Ottley,
Jonathan Parker, Laura Poelmann, Keith Scarzafava and
John Thomson elected five new Board Directors to serve
for a term of three years. They are Steve Carras, Practicing
Attorney in Wayne, NJ; Cedric Glasper, President/CEO of
Mechanical Rubber Products of Warwick; Brook MartisSarmiento, Co-owner of Warwick Valley Racquet Sports;
Maribeth Romaine, Assistant Vice President of Hudson
United Bank of Warwick; Ron Sztyndor, Director of
Facilities for Bon Secors Charity Health System in Warwick
and a retired Police Sergeant from the Warwick Police
Department.
Immediately following the Annual Board of Directors
meeting, the existing Directors elected the following new
officers: Keith Scarzafava, Chair; Cedric Glasper, Vice
Chair; Jim Ottley, Treasurer; and Maribeth Romaine,
Secretary. Executive Director Maxine L. Meyer stated that
the center is fortunate and honored to have such a vibrant
board of directors, who, in working together will continue
to keep the mission of WDC growing with continued support from our community.

The Library Presents ‘Rolling on the River’
“Rolling on
the River,” a concert
featuring
singer/songwriter
Danny Einbender
hosted by the
Albert
Wisner
Public Library.
Danny will present a lively program filled with
songs and music
that reflect the
history of the
Hudson River;
Danny Einbender
how the river
shaped the people that came to live along its shores. From
paddles to paddlewheels, canoes to steamships the audience will travel with Danny up and down our Hudson
Valley water highway.
Danny Einbender performed at his first hootenanny
back in 1963, and since then he’s surely sung a million
songs! In the early eighties he joined the crew of the Sloop
Clearwater, working as an educator, Musical Director of
the Arm of the Sea Puppet Theatre, and singing with Pete
Seeger as a mainstay of the Hudson River Sloop Singers. In
1989 he was a crewmember aboard the tall ship Te Vega for
the first joint Soviet/American Trans-Atlantic Sail for
Peace.
He has received NYSCA grants to produce his original
musical play "Just a Matter of Time" and to create a music
composition curriculum for the classroom along with
members of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic. He has
shared his song-leading and songwriting skills in workshops with staff from Westchester County Parks, Dutchess
and Ulster County Schools, The Light House for the Blind,
the Girl Scouts of America, and with teachers all over the
Hudson Valley.
His award winning song, "It Really Isn’t Garbage Till
You Throw it Away," has been recorded by many musicians
and utilized by students, teachers, and municipalities to
promote recycling in their communities. Danny Einbender
has performed for audiences that range from nursery
schools to nursing homes, from Cub Scouts to MTV executives, and he looks forward to performing for you!
If it rains the program will be held at Christ Church,
50 South St. in Warwick. Funds for this program were provided by a grant from the Federal Library Services and
Technology Act and the use of Lewis Park is generously
donated by the Historical Society of the Town of Warwick.
For more information or to register for this program, call
the library at 986-1047.

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.
Time for a Change in Warwick
Editor,
Where did the weekend crowds go? What is to become of the
Village of Warwick? Will storefronts have "FOR SALE" signs in
their windows replacing the tourist trinkets?
When will the political leaders (a.k.a village business owners)
realize that trying to pay fancy to the "weekend tourism" crowd
will ultimately result in their businesses' demise. Small villages
which solely rely on tourism trade for source of income and do
not focus on quality of life issues turn both the tourist and the
homeowner away.
Should we spend our hard earned tax payer dollars on bringing more tourism to our village? Instead let us focus on the core
quality of life concerns for Warwick.
We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to beautify the
town center in hopes of bringing more tourism dollars to the
community businesses. Have you visited the Warwick library or
Stanley Deming Park recently? We devote a great deal of money
and many volunteer hours trying to win the Town Beautification
contest, again in hopes of drawing more visitors to our hamlet.
Have you visited the little league and soccer fields recently? An
insignificant amount of our taxpayer money is used to support
these efforts for our children. Did you take a dip in the town pool
this summer? Did you take your family on a picnic recently in one
of the pristine area parks with the beautiful manicured lawns, picnic and play areas. Can you find enough books in the Library for
your child's research paper? Are you happy with the school district and the quality of the education our children are receiving?
Have you drank the thirst quenching Warwick water? Was it
worth it to fight CVS? As taxpayers we have contributed to an
Open Space initiative, contributing millions of dollars. How
many farms have we preserved? Not many? Red tape? Special
interest groups? Stop the insanity.
Warwick political leaders take notice. Start catering to the
people of Warwick and their needs before it’s too late.
PAUL LIGUORI
Pearl Softball Is Not ‘Major League
Baseball’
Editor,
I am writing in response to a Letter to the Editor in the June
22 issue of The Dispatch titled “Pearl Coaches Help Me Remember
Why I Love to Play the Game?” I agree that parents and coaches
are important in developing sportsmanship. However, they are
equally important in promoting fairness and team spirit, both of
which were missing on my team.
Little League should not be win at all costs, it should be about
letting all of us kids play, teaching us softball and having fun.
Sometimes coaches lose track of who the game is for, it’s for us
kids, not for them.
I think it is great that the writer supports the Pearl coaches,
and I too appreciate the time and effort that they devote to softball. However, I do think their reasons for coaching were misguided. They could have treated me and a few of my teammates more
fairly and I have told them so on many occasions.
But the writer was just a spectator at the game and I don’t
remember seeing her at any of my practices. She didn’t play on my
team and she was not at all of my games. She was also not there
when I asked my coaches, “Why can’t I play more?” and “Why do
I and the other girls sit the bench every game and some kids never
sit the bench?” She didn’t hear them say to me, an eleven year old,
“Well you see Marissa it’s about the numbers now.” Those were
their exact words, not mine.
To me this meant that winning was more important to these
coaches than my learning the game. To me this also meant that
winning was more important than treating everyone on the team
fairly and allowing equal play time and fostering team spirit. To
me this also meant that winning was more important than having
fun. Finally, to me, this meant that winning was more important
than my feelings.
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:
[email protected]
I also told the coaches that I didn’t think that I, and a few other
girls were being treated fairly and they said to each other, “The girls
that are not happy with my coaching should just quit and they
should have quit a long time ago.” Do you think that was good
sportsmanship on the coaches’ part? All that I asked for was to play
more softball.
I wanted to play and learn the game of softball. I recently
moved here and this was my first year in Warwick Little League.
No, I wasn’t a “star,” but how could I be when I didn’t get much
playing time? It wasn’t just me - a few other girls were also treated
this same way, and also felt the way that I do, but its tough for us
kids to stand up to adults.
Shouldn’t Little League be about learning the game? Shouldn’t
Little League be about having fun? Shouldn’t the kids who go to
practice, play the game and get to try different positions so that
they can learn the game? Shouldn’t all the kids take turns sitting
the bench or should only the best play all the time?
After all, Little League is supposed to be educational, a learning experience, after all this isn’t the major leagues; we’re not getting paid. Its not even school ball where the records matter. There
were many games this season when we were winning or losing by
many runs. Would it be so terrible to the let the bench-warmers
play a little more and let someone else sit out for a change?
There were kids that missed many practices and games yet as
soon as they were back they played and would never sit out an
inning all season. How can this be fair? What message are these
coaches sending to us? Do they really think about how they made
me and the other bench warmers feel?
As for comments about kids being embarrassed by their parents, I am grateful knowing that my parents will always stand up
for me, especially when I am being treated unfairly by other adults
who should know better. There were no “poor” word choices that
game, no foul language or inappropriate comments, at least not by
my parents.
Just a parent telling my coaches what I already told them all
season, that they do not promote fairness and that one of the other
girls should sit out for a change. I wanted to play my three innings
but the coaches didn’t want to put me in again because it was a
playoff game and I was not a star player, so it was better that my
feelings were ignored so that we could possibly win a game.
There are two sides to every story and people should not sit in
judgment of someone until they know a few more facts. It also
shouldn’t be assumed that coaches always teach the proper lessons
in life. It’s nice that these coaches helped the writer remember why
she loves to play the game. Unfortunately, they didn’t do that for
me. The lesson I learned from them was that it wasn’t about us
kids, rather it’s about winning.

Age 11
Is ‘Women in Black’ too Political to
be Represented in ‘Art in the
Windows’?’
Editor,
As a local artist, I looked forward to participating in “Art in
the Windows” in the Warwick Summer Arts Festival, as I have
done for the past few years. The theme was to connect an artist
with a local organization, and it was suggested that I represent
“Women in Black,” a group I am part of. Recently I was told I
could not represent WIB because it was political.
The Warwick Arts Festival should, and does, attempt to offer
programs appropriate for the varied members of the community.
Sensitivity of choice should be shown families. Both diversity of
programming and high artistic quality is a worthy aim. It must be
a difficult task for those who take responsibility for the events, to
balance the interests and needs of our community. The Summer
Arts Festival is a good program, I support it.
However, it is important for me to clarify the focus and aim
of WIB. In 1988 women from Israel and Palestine stood together
in silent vigil to honor peace and to mourn husbands, children
and loved ones lost to violence and war. Women in Black
has become a world-wide network of women committed to
peace and opposed to injustice, war and other forms of
violence.
Is this political? I can’t answer that question for the
more than fifty people who have walked together here in
Warwick. I would get a variety of replies. And that is how it
is and should be in a democracy - varied. For me WIB is
not political.
I’m an artist. My beliefs are expressed in my work.
Artists - musicians, poets, dancers, actors, singers - reflect
the currents in society and become a pulse and sometimes
a warning to protect human values. I walk in silence with
other women in support of peaceful efforts. We welcome
anyone to join with us, Sundays at 1 at the South St. parking lot in Warwick.

Editor,
I would like to remind the Warwick Board of
Education that the $638,547 (part 2-“growth”) of the proposed 2005-06 budget was soundly rejected by the taxpayers. Published reports, attributed to the Superintendent of
schools, state that only $400,000 of these items are being
considered for removal. The hiring of a band teacher
($70,430), an orchestra teacher ($70,430), an after school
security person ($ 36,978), and an asst. director of operations and maintenance ($ 32,510) were also rejected. Your
approval of establishing these positions in an austerity
budget would exceed the arrogance of a second vote without any change!
The fact is that the average taxpayer with one child in
the school system (and there are many families with two or
more children in the system) are paying less than half the
actual cost to educate their child but they continually
demand more. Last year the median market value of property in Orange County is $300,000 and the school tax in
our district on this average home was $6538.15. The average cost per pupil for 2004-5 was $ 13,985.76.
The basic mission of the Board of Education is to provide the necessary resources so that all the students in the
district can meet the graduation requirements as set forth
by the State Department of Education. Any and all other
(non academic) activities are not mandated and should be
carefully controlled by the Board of Education to keep cost
to the all taxpayers at a reasonable level. I have not seen
this taking place over the last four years – I have seen them
(the Board) catering to the strong lobbying of teachers,
administration and parents and in most cases “rubberstamping” the expansion of non mandated activities.
Communication between the Board, Administration
and the taxpayers who do not have children in the school
system is poor to nonexistent; they were not even extended
the courtesy of being sent a copy of proposed 2005-06
budget before the vote!
This is the start of a new school year and hopefully the
Board of Education heard the message from the taxpayers
and change the mode of operation from expansionary to
one of restraint and financial responsibility for all taxpayers.

Women’s Imaging Center Opens in
Warwick
By Colleen McAvey
St. Anthony's Community Hospital (SACH) held an
official Grand Opening and formal dedication ceremony
on Tues., June 28, for it's new Women's Imaging Center
located at 55 Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Warwick. New
York State Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt, and Leah
Cerkvenik, Executive Vice President/Administrator of
SACH were on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony was
a huge success.
Project Team Leader Judy Lindburg, Vice President of
Patient Care stated, "The development of the Women's
Imaging Center was a direct result of hospital officials
working closely with the medical community to determine
how to best meet the needs of the region with preventive
and diagnostic capabilities."
The collaborative effort was with the objective in mind
on determining how best to continue to meet the needs of
the growing region with preventive and diagnostic capabilities. “It’s one more step on the road to achieving our goal
of delivering the highest quality medical care in this area,"
said Leah Cerkvenik.
The Women's Imaging Center is conveniently located
off Kings Hwy. and has been open for several months and
is open to both men and women. It offers a host of comprehensive detection services, such as high-tech Digital
Bone Densitometry, which precisely identifies osteoporosis, a disease affecting 44 million Americans over the age of
50. The Center is also outfitted with a digital LOGIQ9
System Ultrasonography equipment as well as the latest
technology to perform biopsies such as the Stereotactic
Core Biopsy and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy.
The atmosphere at the Center is comfortable and
soothing, instead of paper gowns you are given soft terrycloth robes. The revolutionary equipment produces digital breast images through computerization rather than
traditional X-Ray film. Within seconds the system provides exceptional images of the breast in all women,
regardless of breast tissue type.
The Women's Imaging Center's staff consists of a
specifically trained team of experienced, Board Certified
radiologists and mammography technicians with advanced
certification from the American Association of radiology
Technicians.
The ceremony which included: Clara Chudow, MD,
Gary Theall, MD, and Director of Radiology, Robert Yates,
began with a ribbon cutting ceremony and an invocation
by Claire Brady, Vice President, Mission. The hospital's
Director of Pastoral Care Father Joseph McAndrews,
blessed each of the rooms in the facility. The Community
of Warwick continues to set an example for proactivity and
an unending desire to best serve residents.

Florida Fire Department Celebrates
120th Anniversary With Parade &
Activities
By Robert Demetry
This article is my way of communicating with
you, the residents of the Village of Florida on a regular
basis. Any opinions expressed are strictly my own.
I am happy to report that one of our young
people, recently sponsored by the American Legion
Post 1250 to attend Boys’ State, has been selected to
represent New York State at Boy’s Nation in
Washington D.C. This is an educational element
implemented by the United States Armed Forces
wherein participants learn about government. The
Florida School District student honored this year is
Alex Arzoumanov of 56 Country Club Drive,
Florida, NY. Sasha, as he is known to family and
friends, is the co-chairman of the S.S. Seward
Building Leadership Team (‘BLT’). Good luck,
Sasha, in all your future endeavors.
I have been invited to attend an upcoming NYS
Assembly Commission meeting on Alternatives to
School Property Taxes. It will take place on July 19
from10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from 5 to 9 p.m. in the auditorium of the Village Hall in Suffern. The questions
the commission will explore are: what are the best
ways to fund education (through either property
taxes, income tax, sales tax, Video Lottery terminals
(VLT revenues), casinos or any combination thereof; what is the effect income tax would have on
renters and would this prevent first time home ownership; and, should local governments be given the
option of freezing property taxes for seniors? Should
you wish to be heard please drop your written statement off at the Village Hall or fax it to 651-7643, and
I will carry your thoughts forward.
Once again, be reminded that there will be a
parade on Sat., July 16, in celebration of the Florida
Fire Department’s 120th anniversary. Brochures
have been made available throughout the Village.
Line up for the parade will take place on the intersections of Werner Avenue/Esther Lane and Werner
Avenue/Pleasant Street at 3 p.m. The parade will
begin marching at 4 p.m. from both points on
Werner Avenue to South Main Street, through
North Main Street to Meadow Avenue to Maple

Garden Tour
This garden displays a varied selection of flora with specimens of paperbark maple, lilies, hollyhock, delphinium,
fairy roses, and red twig dogwood. Unusual small trees and
deer resistant bushes amongst the perennials offer an additional structure to the garden.
Jammin’ by the Pool
After “A Garden in the Woods” everyone went
“Jamimn’ by the Pool.” At this garden Carol and Bill
Bundenthal provide a panorama of plants that surrounded
their pool in this relaxing atmosphere. Colorful
hydrangeas, black-eyed susans, coreopsis, coral bells, and
tickseed adorn this setting. Impatiens, petunias, carly
grass, dahlias, and evergreens complement each other.
Field of Dreams
Next stop was “Field of Dreams” where the owners,
Darlene and Dino Rossi, took care in landscaping as
nature's canvas. They feel blessed to paint on nature’s canvas with vivid colors, creating different areas in their yard
for dining, play, and movement. The Rossi’s planted 50
plus trees, constructed a few patios and wooden structures,
created mulch beds, and set up numerous shrubs, and potted and planted perennials and annuals. Statues found
throughout their property add to the ambiance. The arbor
trellis welcomed visitors to enjoy carpet roses, St. John's
Wort, impatiens, clematis, magnolias, barberry, and silver
mound. Another section of these spacious grounds uncovers a beautifully arranged bed of roses.
History with a View
At “History with a View,” Heather Pargeter and Alan

Lipman provide a central view of the various multi-step
garden rooms from a patio and pergola area. The landscaping takes advantage of the various slopes on the property, which is bordered by a sparkling pond, center fountain, and waterfall. The moon gate garden invites you to
walk through and enjoy. The white garden with a statue
and a garden near the pool, add to the serene setting. The
cutting garden of hollyhocks, lilies, daisies, roses, tree roses,
and dahlias seem to brighten up your day. The owner’s
herb garden takes on its own personality and sunflowers
naturalized by the birds, add to the garden vista. Directly
across the road from the property, Heather and Alan have
recently added an arboretum featuring various specimens
of trees.
Year Round Garden
The last stop on the tour was “Year Round Garden.”
Frank and Rita Northraft, both 75 years old, are remarkable gardeners. Almost the entire flora found on their four
acre property was planted by themselves. The Northraft’s
take great pride in having something attractive in their garden everyday of the year. Flowering trees from witchhazels in February to Franklinias in September and
October, add a certain magic to this place. They have 200
varieties of thick leaved hostas, not preferred by deer,
heliopsis, stokes aster, liatris, Lavender Lady Jane, monarda,
coreopsis, day lilies, and oriental lilies. The property is a
gardener's paradise. At this garden patrons discovered a
shrub garden, conifer garden, patio garden, wall garden,
and a hosta border garden. Variegated leaves, interesting
shapes and vivid colors seem to catch your eye. Walking
through this landscaper's dream, you develop an appreciation of the variety of flora in nature.

Jane Demberg Retires from Warwick School District
By Lon Tytell
Jane Demberg, Director of English Language Arts,
Social Studies, and Academic Intervention (K-12) in the
Warwick Valley Central School District, recently retired
from the District. She shares, with The Dispatch, some
remarkable memories of her experiences in the Warwick
School District. "I never forgot a Park Avenue kindergartener seeing me in the hallway and yelling. ‘I can read,
Mrs. Demberg,’ reminisces Jane. “I had the pleasure of
working with teachers who developed good practices in the
teaching of reading and writing. They never lost sight that
the kids are the center of the curriculum.”
As Coordinator of Odyssey of the Mind, since 1995,
she recalls members of the Odyssey of the Mind teams
working on their scenery until 11 p.m. “I enjoyed observing kids pushing themselves to new levels, making choices,
and accepting new challenges,” said Jane.
The Park Avenue and Pine Island Odyssey of the Mind
teams went to Iowa in 2003 for the World Championship.
“The children saw acres and acres of corn, pigs, and
John Deere tractors,” said Jane. “We realized - we're not in
Warwick anymore.”
The Park Avenue team received first place in its designated category and the Pine Island team placed in the top
ten. Jane is thankful for the community support that Park
Avenue and Pine Island Odyssey of the Mind received.
Parents helped transport scenery from Warwick to Iowa
and back, as well as accompany the students on the airplanes. The community and local businesses gave donations and supported the Walkathon and Car Wash. Over
ten thousand dollars was raised in four weeks to support
the trip to the Odyssey of the Mind World Championship.
“It was exciting to see the warm reception the Odyssey of
the Mind teams received from the firemen, police, teachers,
families, and members of the community when we arrived
at the bus garage in Warwick after returning victorious
from Iowa,” said Jane.
During her tenure many committees were formed that

project before retiring from the Warwick Valley Central
School District.
represented both teachers and administrators. Members of
the committees shared ownership of their ideas and created final products that were shown at grade level meetings.
Later the suggestions were put into practice, implemented
and modified. These committees created models for
research papers on different levels; writing samples developed by students were used as exemplars in determining
rubrics; document based questions for all grades were
established to help with higher levels of thinking; and
Social Studies resource kits were created to supplement the
curriculum.
Other committees were also created for listening
strategies, which were adapted for the K-8 curriculum.
Graphic organizers were compiled to help increase the
quality of writing and Junior Great Books training brought
an appreciation of classic works. Also, the report card was
revised and updated. "At each of the committees, the
members worked hard to know each other as people, not
just as colleagues,” said Jane. “We shared stories about our
families, weddings, building our homes, and what happened to our children and grandchildren. We worked hard
and found time to have fun."
The services and grade level meetings organized by
Jane, always seemed to add a new dimension to learning for
the teachers. It was a place for teachers to share photos of
their family and enjoy the delicious refreshments provided.
Chocolate, fruit, twizzlers, and refreshing cold water, provided food for the mind, which kept the participants invigorated and interested. Jane will miss the ladies at the
express checkout at ShopRite who helped her with weekly
runs for refreshments.
Before the series in Language Arts and Social Studies
was adopted, about sixty percent of the faculty participated in field testing before the District made the commitment. Jane provided an opportunity for teachers to share
their experiences. Training, she organized, enabled the
teachers to prepare for the challenges ahead.
She recalls spending five or six summers with six to
eight teachers for four to five days, studying with Lucy
Calkins and other experts at Columbia University. At these
sessions, the latest techniques in the fields of reading and
writing were shared. After working six hours a day, the
members of this group dined in Little Italy, visited
Chinatown and toured New York City including the former
Twin Towers. The team would then return home each day
to begin the next day at six in the morning.
Jane began her retirement July 1 and plans to spend
more time with her husband and their family. She looks
forward to boating this summer. In the fall, she will begin
her job as a national trainer in reading and writing programs currently used in many school districts. She will be
traveling between Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Orange
County representing her new employer.
Girl Scouts Construct Play Area for Homeless Dogs
Junior Girl Scout Troop 313 from
Goshen Service Unit 612 constructed an
Agility Course/Play area for the homeless
dogs at the Warwick Valley Humane
Society for their Bronze Award Project.
"The 12-year-old girls, soon to be seventh
graders told me that this project was
important because the dogs suffer from
kennel stress," said Animal Control Officer
Emily Shedletsky, who arranged the project
with the girls’ Scout Leader, Jean Bradley
and Assistant Leader, Becky DenDanto.
All the girls who participated did their
research into the types of plants that would
be safe around the dogs and constructed,
painted and decorated the various agility
stations. Jonas, a young, male pit bull terrier mix waiting for a home, was chosen to
demonstrate the course. With a little coax-
ing he enthusiastically bounded up the
haystacks, went up and over the A frame,
and jumped the hurdles. He thanked them
with kisses and won their hearts.
The troop members are: Kristyn
Alfonso, Christine Attanasio, Jamie
Bradley, Cassie DenDanto, Emily O'Brien
and Sarah Willmott. “The Warwick Valley
Humane Society wishes to express our
gratitude to Troop 313 for their hard work
and creativity on behalf of homeless dogs,
like Jonas, who spends many months at the
shelter, waiting for a family to take them
home," said Suzyn Barron, President. "It
gives us hope for the future when young
people, like these Girl Scouts, show their
compassion for animals and their willingness to work on the animals' behalf."

When Washington Came to Warwick
apple

RW
IC
K
Residents in Warwick will begin to see banners and notices in town announcing the
George Washington Day Picnic on July 23, a favorite annual event chock full of history and
lots of family fun. But what really is George Washington’s connection to Warwick?
Many of us have heard the story about how, during the Revolutionary War, General
Washington, on his way from New Jersey to his headquarters at Newburgh passed through
our village along our appropriately named Colonial Avenue – a part of the old King’s
Highway. But there is more to the story, which had been researched and reported in 1909
by Mrs. George M. Van Duzer, who poured over the Moravian Archives at the
Congressional Library in Washington, DC and gives the following accounts:
“In July of 1782, General Washington journeyed to Philadelphia to an interview with
Count de Rochambeau (commander of all of the French forces in America). A newspaper
of that time states that ‘On Wednesday last (July 24,1782) General Washington left
Philadelphia to join the main army on the Hudson.’ The Moravian Archives (maintained
by the Moravian Brotherhood with a branch in Hope, NJ) indicated on Thurs., July 25,
‘Quite unexpectedly, and very quietly, His Excellency General Washington arrived here
accompanied by two aide-de-camp, Colonel Trumbull and Major Walker…’” Colonel
Trumbull is known as a founding father of American Art, one of the most famous of
Revolutionary era painters.
The account continues, “Fri., July 26…‘From Hope, the General and his aids-de-camp
rode to Sussex Court House (now Newton, NJ and just miles from the New York border)’
Major Walker’s account of expenses was discovered showing the charges for the party at
that place to have been over 5 pounds for their entertainment. The next expenditure is in
Colonel Trumbull’s own handwriting, and states that in addition to Major Walker’s
account, the party spent “9 shillings for grog in Warwick.” According to Mrs. Van Duzer’s
research, “Both of these accounts were endorsed and paid by George Washington.”
While there is no direct reference to the Baird’s Tavern, that the General was shown to
be at Sussex Court House on July 26 and arrived in Newburgh on the evening of July 27,
we can glean that he was in Warwick (having a grog in Baird’s Tavern) and Chester on July
27, 1782. To think that our first President and General of the American Revolution spent a
day in Warwick after returning from a visit with the leader of the French forces and in the
company of the esteemed Colonel Trumbull, has been a particular source of pride for
Warwick residents.
This year, to commemorate that connection, George Washington Day Picnic and Lost
Arts Festival has some special treats in store for area families. Some of the planned activities will include a demonstration by the Boy Scouts of America on the proper handling of
the American flag, handicraft demonstrations, games and competitions like sack races, tug
of war and May pole, horse and carriage rides, a parade down Main Street to the Village
Green, period music, lecture on Orange County History, food and much, much more.

The Dancing Crane Georgian Dance Theater
Orange County has spawned an exotic dance company of which many may be unaware - The Dancing Crane
Georgian Dance Theater. Their next major area concert
will be Sat., July 23 at the Paramount Theatre in
Middletown. For tickets and information contact the theater at 346-4195, or call 986-2638. This performance is
made possible, in part, with funds from the County of
Orange, Orange County Tourism and Orange Arts.
Seeing a performance of this dance company will
reveal its fascination, for it is filled with dynamic contrasts
and exquisite music. The men, dancing with vigor, chivalry, and power, express a range of feelings from festivity, to
fierceness, to respectful restraint. The women provide
grace and elegance as they glide, beautifully interweaving
with intricate choreography, while in the mountain dances
their intricate steps rival those of the men. The ethnic costumes add to the authenticity and richness of the program
and the music, sung in Georgian and played on traditional
instruments, is evocative and mysterious, yet at times playful and joyous.
The Dancing Crane Georgian Dance Theater brings a
unique mix of cultures, rhythms, moods and musical
styles. For tickets or more information, contact the theater
at 346-4195, or the Dancing Crane Georgian Dance
Theater at 845-986-2638. Visit the Dancing Crane website
at www.dancingcrane.org. Tickets are $15 for adults and
$10 for children. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m.

BOCES Student Triumphs Over His Fear
Chris Brescia, a student in Mrs. Gannon’s class at
BOCES, has spent three years mucking stalls and grooming
horses at the Winslow Therapeutic Center. He enjoys being
around horses, but in the time he spent at Winslow he had
never gotten on a horse to ride. He was afraid to ride. A
few weeks ago, Chris faced his fears and got on a horse for
the very first time.
Dotty Murphy, Winslow’s Head Riding Instructor, was
the one who helped Chris to overcome his fear. “Chris
always stood on the side line watching apprehensively but
enthusiastically. With a lot of reassurance, coaxing and
promising that I would stay right with him, Chris took a
deep breathe, then let it out to relax,” said Dotty. “He then
mounted Winslow’s largest horse, Orion, a Belgian
Chestnut Gelding and together they walked off. Chris was
a little nervous, but had smiles from ear to ear. There were
tears of joy from all who watched- teachers, Winslow staff,
and myself.”
Winslow continues on its mission to serve those in
need. We help those who are disabled physically, those
with fears and anxiety, and those who simply need to be
uplifted. For more information on Winslow and its programs please contact (845) 986-6686, or visit us on the web
at ww.winslow.org. Volunteers and donations are always
welcome.
Chris is the middle rider. He is surrounded by Dotty
Murphy(head riding instructor) on left, volunteers,
other students and a teacher from Boces.

Eileen Ivers - Immigrant Soul
On Sat., July 15, at 7:30 p.m. the Festival presents
“Eileen Ivers/Immigrant Soul,” Irish music with an eclectic
twist, at Stanley Deming Park in the Village of Warwick.
Eileen Ivers was hailed as “the Jimmy Hendrix of the violin” by the “New York Times.” From her work as a founding member of “Cherish the Ladies,” to her starring role in
“Riverdance,” Eileen Ivers has established herself as the preeminent exponent of the Irish fiddle. Her newest endeavor, “Immigrant Soul,” is a mix of African and Latin percussion and bass, Irish instrumentalists and American soulful
vocals.
Cyro Baptista’s - Beat the Donkey
On Sun., July 16, the Festival heads to the Town Park
on Union Corner’s Road with “Cyro Baptista’s” seven piece
percussion ensemble “Beat the Donkey.” Since arriving in
the U.S. in 1980 from Brazil, Cyro Baptista has emerged as
one of the premier percussionists in the country. His seven
piece percussion and dance ensemble, 'Beat the Donkey,'
mixes his tremendous musical skills, his natural humor
and theatrical ways with instruments from Brazil, Middle
East, Indonesia and Africa. The performance begins at
7:30. Arrive early to attend an art-making workshop with
Stacey Rosen at 6:30 p.m.

On July 23, at 6:30 p.m. the gathering place is
Scheuermann Farm and Greenhouses on Little York Road
for the night of sunsets, stars, dancing and music. The

black dirt farm of Bob and Sally Scheuermann. The
Moving Company is the professional performance arm of
the “Moving Company Modern Dance Center” here in
Warwick. Ms. Mensch’s work is filled with humor, beauty
and emotion and has been the highlight of several summer
seasons.
The Meetinghouse Jazz Orchestra
“The Meetinghouse Jazz Orchestra” has been in existence for over 10 years. The 17 piece ensemble has some of
the best jazz musicians in NYC among its ranks. The
pianist Michael Wolff, saxophonist Pete Yellin and composer/arrangers Mike Fahie and Lisa Maxwell are regular
members helping to focus the mission of its creator and
director, Bob Rosen, towards that of a modern jazz ensemble performing original music and repertory from the jazz
canon. So bring a picnic, kick off your shoes, enjoy the lush

Professional
‘Play Reading Series’
On Mon., June 27, the Lycian Centre
for the Performing Arts in Sugar Loaf
introduced the first of its new “Play
Reading Series” to a small, intimate group
of friends and patrons in its Royal Pavilion
Theatre. The audience was mesmerized by
the words of Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Michael Cristofer’s new play entitled “The Whore and Mr. Moore”, a
comedic twist on the classic story of “The
Ghost and Mrs. Muir.” The story was
brought to life on stage through the combined talents of three well-known actors of
the stage and screen, Judd Hirsch, Debra
Monk and Michelle Pawk.
Play readings provide audience members with a rare opportunity to truly participate in the creative process of professional play-writing by allowing them to
hear brand new works that are being considered for Broadway or Off-Broadway
production. After listening to the play
without the distraction of sets or costumes,
audience members can share their opinions and thoughts with the actors and playwright during an informal wine and cheese
reception immediately following the performance. This provides the playwright
with early audience feedback as well as
ideas for enhancing the play prior to production.
Introducing this series with a play
written by such a well-known playwright
as Michael Cristofer demonstrates the professional caliber of these events and sets the
standard for all future events. Cristofer
was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and Tony
Award for “The Shadow Box,” a character
piece about three terminally-ill patients.
His TV credits include writing and directing the HBO Original Movie “Gia” (1998),
which became a star vehicle for Angelina
Jolie.
The caliber of acting talent involved in
this event was exceptional as well. Judd
Hirsch, who read the lead role in
Cristofer’s play, is probably best known for
his portrayal of Alex Rieger in the classic
television series “Taxi.” Debra Monk, who
read the part of “Figgy,” is a recent Emmy
Award winner for her role as Katie
Sipowicz on “NYPD Blue.” Michelle Pawk,
who read the part of “Maggie,” is currently
starring in the off-Broadway production of
“The Paris Letter” at the Roundabout
Theatre with Ron Rifkin and John Glover.
Lycian Centre is producing these
events in collaboration with Healy
Entertainment, a New York City-based full
service production and marketing company for theater, the performing arts, the
music industry, television, film and live
events. The theatre plans to continue this
play reading series in the fall and will hold
another four or five readings of similar
quality throughout its 2005-2006 season.
Dates and times for these events will be
announced as soon as they are determined.
For more information regarding
upcoming shows and events, call the Lycian
Centre Box Office at 845-469-2287,
Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 4
p.m.
success with their unique take on American roots rock. It's
a toe-tapping, foot-stomping, Waffle-House shuffling,
cow-tipping good time.
All are welcome to join in the Annual Art Parade down
Main Street. Show up at 6 p.m. at Lewis Park in the center
of the Village of Warwick and join in the march down
Main Street. “Wear art, carry art, be art!” is the parade’s
motto. The parade steps off at 6:30 p.m. and the concert
follows at 7 p.m.
Exhibits
Throughout the Festival, there will be exhibits, installations and workshops by the artist’s collective “CrowKula.”
“CrowKula” brings to life the epic dream-time tale from the
book “To Stand Under A Yellow Tree Imagining,” in a
unique and experimental collaborative exhibit on display
in the Gallery and throughout the Village of Warwick.
During the festival the exhibit will continue to evolve as
members of the audience are invited to participate in the
hands-on installations and art-making workshops.
The “Arts And Hearts” exhibit gives new meaning to
“community arts.” Several area artists were paired with
local civic minded groups and given a window to display
the results. Organizer of the exhibit Susan Graf said “it was
like connecting the dots throughout the community,
matching inspired work of artist’s with some great organizations like the Community Center, the Humane Society
and the Conservancy.” Photographer Peter Liepke and
painters Shotsie and Christine Gorman are among the featured artists.
This years Festival is supported with funds from The
New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, New
York State Funds at the request of Senator Thomas
Morahan and administered by NY State Parks and
Recreation; Shop Rite of Warwick and The Town of
Warwick with additional funding from Provident Bank,
The Warwick Savings Foundation, The Village of Warwick,
Orange and Rockland Utilities, WVT Communications,
Orange County Tourism and many individual contributors.

A history of the Lehigh & Hudson Railway by
Eleanor Genung Sayer filled up most of page three this
week, going back to April 20, 1859 when the Warwick
Valley Railroad Co. was organized. She writes, "Practically
all the traffic for which the railroad was built, have been
taken away from it since the advent of the motor truck and
improved state and county highways." A good part of the
$1,681,808 the railroad paid in taxes for the past ten years
has been used to build and maintain these highways.
The line was officially opened for business on April 1,
1862 although the first train of cars reached Warwick at
5:50 p.m. on October 24, 1861. From December 28, 1917

Surrounded by her family and special guest, Mayor Michael Newhard, Angelia Bergman recently celebrated her 100th
birthday at Schervier Pavilion.Clockwise from Angelia Bergman, 100 (center): Granddaughter Evelyn Mannino,
great-granddaughter Katherine Wagner, 8; granddaughter Carolyn Wagner; granddaughter in-law Susan Wagner,
daughter Karen Wagner, grandson Fred Wagner, great grandson Christopher Wagner, 10
and Warwick Mayor Michael Newhard.
Angelia Bergman Celebrates 100th Birthday
When Angelia Bergman was born, Theodore Roosevelt
had just been inaugurated as President of the United States
for his second term. Closer to her birthplace of Cologne
(Koln), Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II was about to sign a
short-lived offense and defense treaty with Tzar Nicholas II
of Russia. The Wright Brothers had only recently demonstrated that a machine could fly. Automobiles were a passing novelty and most people traveled by horse and carriage.
The year was 1905.
On Fri., July 1, Bergman, now a resident of Schervier
Pavilion, a skilled nursing facility at the Bon Secours
Warwick Health Care Campus, celebrated her 100th birthday with close members of her family and a special guest,
Village of Warwick Mayor Michael Newhard. Before entering Schervier almost eight years ago, she had been a resident of nearby Mount Alverno Center Adult Home and
Assisted Living Program.
"Angelia has always demonstrated a sparkling personality and friendliness to all our residents and staff," said
Kari Call, a Certified Therapy Recreation Specialist (CTRS).
"Everyone is thrilled that she could celebrate this important
birthday with her family." Although celebrating one’s 100th
birthday is no small achievement for anyone, it is especially so in the case of Angelia Bergman who survived two
wars.
Her hometown, Cologne, in particular, was almost
totally destroyed in a firestorm resulting from Allied bombing raids during World War II. "We used to sleep fully
clothed with a suitcase packed and ready to go," recalled her
daughter Karen Wagner. "And when the alarm sounded we
were ready to rush to the bunker where we sometimes
stayed for two or three days."
There were also happier times. Bergman and her husband Klaus survived the war and raised two daughters,
Karen Wagner, a resident of Warwick and Marlina Messina,
who now lives in Belgium. At a time when European
women were not as independent as today, Bergman had the
distinction of being the first woman in Cologne to be issued
a driver’s license. She was also talented. "My mother always
had a love of music and poetry and she often reminisces
about playing her violin and concert zither," said Wagner.
"She still entertains herself and others by singing and reciting poetry."
In 1962, Bergman, whose husband had passed away,
left Germany to join her daughter Karen in the United
States. Staying close to her family, she moved from Omaha,
Nebraska to New Jersey and finally to Warwick.
During her birthday celebration and while surrounded
by her family, Mayor Michael Newhard first read a special
birthday greeting from The White House, which was signed
by George and Laura Bush. On behalf of the Village Board
of Trustees, the Mayor then read and presented a proclamation honoring Bergman on the occasion of her 100th birthday. Although she is fluent in English, Bergman’s response,
readily understood by all present as she clapped her hands,
was "Wunderbar!" And when asked to what factors did she
attribute her longevity, Bergman’s answer brought much
laughter and required little translation. "I ate well and
drank schnapps," she smiled.
Although it may still seem rare, the fastest growing segment of the population is actually people who have reached
the age of 100 and beyond. Providing long term health care
is one of the most important services offered by members
of the Bon Secours Health Care System.

Keeping Up-to-Date With Our Representatives
Kelly & Tax Deduction for Teachers
U.S. Congresswoman Sue Kelly is co-sponsoring legislation in the U.S. House of
Representatives to preserve and expand a federal income tax deduction for teachers that is
set to expire at the end of this year.
Kelly called on her colleagues to quickly pass the "Teacher Tax Relief Act," which she
and several other House members introduced on June 20.
The legislation would make the tax deduction for teachers' out-of-pocket classroom
expenses a permanent part of the tax code, and would increase the deduction amount from
$250 to $400 per year. "Day in and day out, our teachers in New York's Hudson Valley
spend remarkable time, energy, and - yes - money to develop innovative and successful
ways to motivate their students to learn," Kelly said while speaking on the House floor on
June 22.
"They are spending hundreds of dollars out of their own paychecks to buy classroom
supplies and learning materials ranging from pens and pencils to computer software. When
teachers take such great initiative in their teaching methods, they should not be taxed on
the money they are putting back into our classrooms to help our children learn."
The teacher tax deduction was originally passed by Congress and signed into law by
President Bush in February 2002. However, the deduction is scheduled to expire at the end
of this year without Congressional action, and teachers would be unable to take the deduction when they file their taxes next spring.
Morahan & Service for Migrant Farm Workers
Senator Thomas P. Morahan announces that the New York State Department of Labor,
Office for Migrant Workers in Orange County, will be providing services for migrant workers seeking farm jobs at its new location in Goshen, following the closing of a facility in
Pine Island. The State Department of Labor is providing the full funding for The Farm
Worker Center, also known as "The Alamo," located at 890 Pulaski Highway in Goshen.
Orange County Executive Edward Diana had contacted Senator Morahan, about the
pending impact to the Orange County farm community resulting from the closing of the
Pine Island facility. The Senator contacted the State
Department of Labor to discuss NYS employment services to migrant workers. For
information on the services provided by the NYS State Department of Labor at the Farm
worker Community Center, the public is invited to call (845)-651-7100.
Rabbitt & Woman Veterans
Assemblywoman Annie Rabbit wants residents to be aware that "Women Veterans
Recognition Day" in New York was recently celebrated. It’s a special day to pay tribute to
the bravery, patriotism and sacrifices made by women in the military, both living and dead.
It was also the anniversary of the signing of the Women's Armed Forces Service Act of 1948
that gave women a permanent place in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.
"As involved residents of New York State we all should do everything possible to support our military personnel, both here and abroad. The men and women of our armed
forces sacrifice so much to protect us and our families, homes and country," said Rabbitt.
"In particular, our female military personnel often face hardships not felt by their male colleagues. Historically, they have faced difficulty being integrated in the military and being
treated as equals. However, many women still answer the call of duty."
A woman, Ensign Jane Kendeigh, was aboard the first flight to land at Iwo Jima during World War II, and women even served in the Revolutionary War. "Today, and every day,
I salute those women and offer my most sincere gratitude for standing up for freedom, liberty and justice. I ask everyone to take a moment during the day to think about the sacrifices being made right now - for us," said Rabbitt.
SACHA Donation Used for Geri Chairs
ST. ANTHONY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
MOUNT ALVERNO CENTER - SCHERVIER PAVILION
Bon Secours Charity Health System
15 Maple Avenue, Warwick, NY • www.StAnthonyCommunityHosp.org
By Leah Cerkvenik, RN
Executive vice President/Administrator of St. Anthony Community Hospital, Schervier
Pavilion Health Care Facility and Mt. Alverno Center Adult Home and Assisted Living
Services – otherwise known as the Warwick Health Care Campus (WHCC).
The St. Anthony Community Hospital
Auxiliary (SACHA) recently made a donation to the hospital for the purchase of two
additional Geri-chairs for the Med/Surg
Our Mission
It always gives me great pleasure to report that St Anthony Community Hospital
has taken another step forward to enhance the level of care we provide to our general
patient community.
On June 28, I had the honor and the pleasure of welcoming guests to the official
Grand Opening and dedication of our new Women’s Imaging Center at 55 Ronald
Reagan Boulevard. The development of the Center was a direct result of hospital officials working closely with the medical community to determine how to best meet the
needs of the region with preventative and diagnostic capabilities.
The Women’s Imaging Center, by the way, is open to men as well as women. It
offers a host of comprehensive detection services, such as high-tech digital Bone
Densitometry, digital LOGIQ9 System Ultrasonography equipment and the latest
technology to perform biopsies such as the Stereotactic Core Biopsy and Sentinel
Lymph Node Biopsy.
However men and women will especially appreciate the relaxing and comfortable
environment where patients are given soft terrycloth robes instead of paper robes. The
state-of-the-art Center offers the most advanced mammography technology available.
The revolutionary equipment produces digital breast images through computerization
rather than traditional X-ray film. Within seconds the system provides exceptional
images of the breast in all women, regardless of breast tissue type. It produces higher
quality images, especially near the skin line and chest wall, and can increase cancer
detection by 19 per cent. Its computer aided detection (CAD) software acts as a radiologist’s "second pair of eyes" for screening and diagnosing any abnormalities.
The Women’s Imaging Center’s staff consists of a specially trained team of experienced, board-certified radiologists and mammography technicians with advanced
certification from the American Association of Radiology Technicians. A woman’s
health consultant and maternity consultant are also available in person or by phone.
And staff members will work closely with referring physicians to ensure seamless
patient care.
Whether it’s a new Women’s Imaging Center, a multi-million dollar modernization plan or any other new program, our commitment is to fulfill the mission of Bon
Secours to provide "good help to those in need" and to deliver the highest quality medical care available.
As Executive Vice President and Administrator of our Warwick Campus, my
pledge to you is not just to continue the high level of service and quality you’ve come
to expect, but to see it increase even further. And as always, we are grateful for your
continued support.
Additional information about our new Women’s Imaging Center, St. Anthony
Community Hospital, Mount Alverno Center, Schervier Pavilion and Day-At-A-Time
can be found on our web site. I invite you to visit us at
www.StAnthonyCommunityHosp.org to learn more about our services.
Unit. Med/Surg Nurse Manager Anita
Sultana, RN, explained that Geri Chairs are
state-of-the-art mobile recliners with
numerous features such as moveable trays.
They are not only designed for ease of use
by the patient but are also helpful to the
medical and nursing staff.
"Geri Chairs are important for the
comfort, safety and well being of our
patients," said Judy Limberg, vice president
in charge of patient care. "They are
employed in many departments throughout our hospital." In just the past few years
alone, SACHA has donated or pledged over
$250,000 in cash and equipment to St.
Anthony Community Hospital.

Don Rock Mile Run
a Huge Success
By Mike Potter
On Fri., July 1, over 300 people from
Orange, Ulster and Sullivan Counties took
part in supporting a Warwick Family in
need by participating in a one mile
run/walk event. Those who did not participate in the athletic contests attended the
event simply to demonstrate "random acts
of kindness," as they donated funds to the
cause.
The event was an awesome display of
sportsmanship, and human spirit with a
"never give up attitude" – showing how
great the Warwick community is. This
fundraiser was the brainchild of high
school student/athletes Jerry Greenlaw,
Terrence Fox and Matt Hoffman.
The event also created awareness of
"what can be done" if you put your mind to
something and reach out to help others no
matter what age you are.
A special thanks goes out to all of the
volunteers who helped make this night a
huge success. It could not have been done
without you!

Warwick Baseball Club Awards First Scholarships
By Katie Bisaro
The newly formed Warwick Baseball Club has awarded its first scholarships to two graduating Warwick Valley
High School students. Established in November, 2004, the
Warwick Baseball Club is a non-profit organization "dedicated to providing Warwick’s young adults with the opportunity to continue to enjoy the game of baseball throughout their high school years and beyond."
The Club’s short term goals include enhancing existing facilities and equipment, develop a website to promote
Warwick baseball programs and players, establish annual
fundraising events and introduce an annual scholarship
WA R W I C K VA L L E Y R A C Q U E T S P O R T S
program. In the long-term the Warwick Baseball Club
seeks to provide funding and volunteer support for a "new
state-of-the-art baseball facility for the Warwick Valley
Public School program and the Warwick baseball community."
According to Matt Victor, President of the Warwick
Baseball Club, the Club is striving to work together with
the community for the betterment of baseball programs
throughout Warwick, including the school teams from
Modified to the Varsity level. He added that, in his opinion,
the Warwick Little League is one of the best sports organizations in the area and he is grateful to Barry Cheney for
his role as liaison between the Little League and the
Warwick community.
School Board member Mike Meinhardt is serving as
the liaison between the Board of Education and Warwick
Town Supervisor, Michael Sweeton. The goals of this joint
effort include the renovation of existing baseball fields,
creating new fields and support of both community and
scholastic teams.
Earlier this month one of the Warwick Baseball Club’s
short-term goals was accomplished as two scholarships, in
the amount of $400 each, was awarded to Jeffrey Jacobsen
and Erik Johnson, two Warwick Valley High School Varsity
baseball players who graduated this year.
Scholarship recipients are chosen according to the criteria set forth by the Club. The applicant must be a gradu-
ating senior who was a two-year letter winner in baseball
(JV or Varsity) in the Warwick Valley Central School
District. The student, in addition to demonstrating leadership, sportsmanship and team spirit, must also have
achieved academic success by maintaining a cumulative
grade point average of 80 or higher for eight marking periods.
The selection criteria also includes community service
during a player’s high school career, an essay, and letters of
recommendation from coaches and teachers. Recipients of
the scholarship will be pursuing some form of higher education.
On Fri., July 1, Matt Victor presented the awards on
behalf of the Warwick Baseball Club. Together with
Warwick Varsity Coach Mike Careccia, Victor congratulated the boys on being the first recipients of this annual
scholarship. Coach Careccia remarked that he and the
entire High School coaching staff were proud that the
scholarships went to two such deserving scholar-athletes.
Jeffrey Jacobsen, Wildcat first-baseman, will attend
East Stroudsburg State University in Pennsylvania this fall.
He plans to double-major in Physical Education and
Health. Jeff is the son of Don and Nancy Jacobsen of
Warwick.
Catcher Erik Johnson will attend SUNY Buffalo in the

SPORTS FANS!
I BET YOU
DIDN’T
KNOW
Brought to You By Eric Nilsestuen
Have you ever noticed when you see old baseball footage
that the hitters aren’t wearing batting helmets? Do you
have any idea when they were first used, and who invented
them? In the early 1950s, Branch Rickey was Pittsburgh’s
General Manager, and was looking for a way to protect the
heads of batters. The team’s traveling secretary at the time
was a man named Charlie Muse, who responded to
Rickey’s quest by developing the batting helmet with the
help of two designers. In 1952, the Pirates became the first
team to wear them, although the rest of the league quickly
followed suit. Muse worked for the Pirates for 52 years, and
passed away in May of 2005 at the age of 87.
Now, what about scorekeeping in baseball? Any guesses
how that came into existence, and who was responsible?
The system still used today was devised by a man named
Henry Chadwick, way back in the 1860s. Chadwick numbered the positions 1 through 9, and he also came up with
the idea to use the letter K for a strikeout, because he
thought it was more dramatic and memorable than the letter S.
Sporting events are natural advertising vehicles for the
United States armed forces, because the audiences are
largely young and overwhelmingly male. So which sport
draws the most dollars from the advertising budgets of the
Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines? The answer is
NASCAR. All four branches sponsor Nextel Cup racing
teams, as do the Coast Guard and the Army National
Guard. The Air Force even has its own Superintendent of
Motor Sports. The Army is the biggest spender -- $16 million in ’05 – while the Marines have been the longest primary sponsor of a NASCAR team, going back to 1999.
I bet you didn’t know…..

Sandy Koufax Wildcats Are One
Win From State Tournament
In its first year of play, the Warwick Wildcats 13 Year
Old Sandy Koufax Team is one win away from a berth in
the New York State Sandy Koufax Tournament. Currently
7-2 and tied for first place with Poughkeepsie, the Wildcats
have won two of three games against Minisink Valley, swept
all four against Cornwall and split two games with
Poughkeepsie. A July 13 game at Poughkeepsie will determine the Greater Hudson Valley League Champion and
State Tournament entrant.
Warwick has won four of its seven games in its last at
bat. Pitchers Gavin Hannah (4-1), Rian White (2-0) and
Chris Abrams (1-1) together with leading hitters Paul
Sakowski (Catcher), Hannah (1st base), John Denmead
(2nd base), White (SS), Gio Lasalandra (3rd base) and
Abrams (3rd base) have led the Wildcats infield. Dan
Margraff, Nick DiNardo, Mike Savoia, Thomas Folino,
James Wu, Sam Brown and T.J. Ballard roam the Wildcat
outfield. Red Burke has been the Wildcat’s reliever.
Warwick finishes the remainder of their league with
games against Chester, the Hudson Valley Lightning and
Northern Dutchess/Red Hook.
