Town of Warwick Holds Public Visioning Open House
By Katie Bisaro
On Wed., Nov. 30, the Town of Warwick, Village of
Greenwood Lake and Village of Florida simultaneously
held Public Visioning Open Houses as the first step in a
process that will eventually culminate in a Parks and
Recreation Plan. The public was invited to stop by any of
the three Open Houses to provide feedback and input
regarding the parks and recreation facilities of the greater
Warwick area.
During the informal Public Visioning Open House
residents were able to view the parks throughout the
greater Warwick area by means of “park storyboards” that
were displayed around the room. Each storyboard featured
photographs of the sites and summaries of each parks’
facilities and uses. Feedback sheets were available near each
storyboard; residents could share their ideas about what
they felt was needed in each individual park. Additionally,
Town and Village officials, members of the Recreation
Commission and representatives from the Laberge Group,
a community planning firm, were available to answer questions and listen to resident’s ideas.
Among those attending the Open House at Warwick
Town Hall were representatives and interested parties from
various local sports organizations including soccer, baseball, youth football and lacrosse. Members of the Warwick
Valley School Board of Education, administration and
coaching staffs were also in attendance as part of the planning process will encompass the use of school facilities.
Several informal discussions were held while people moved
around the room looking at the storyboards and provided
input for each park.
Village of Warwick Mayor Michael Newhard expressed
his concern that Village space is nearly maxed out and his
desire to work with the Town of Warwick to jointly acquire
land, near the Village, for future park and recreational use.
He would also like to see improvements to the existing
parks as well as integrating new facilities with any new
development. He is hoping that some innovative ideas come
out of these Open Houses and future planning meetings.
Several feedback sheets were already filled with suggestions from residents on how to improve existing facilities or create new uses within the parks. The availability of
open restrooms was a common theme for the majority of
the parks and recreation facilities. The need for more
youth football fields, soccer fields, dedicated lacrosse fields
and the desire for public tennis courts were also penciled
in. Other suggestions included lighting these same fields
and courts to expand their use, the creation of fitness and
running trails, a public pool, roller hockey rinks and additional playgrounds. Further input was provided regarding the
safety of older structures such as bleachers and pavilions and
the need to update and refurbish existing facilities.
Varsity Football Coach Greg Sirico brought in a sam-
ple of field turf that he
would like to see installed on
the High School football
field. Sirico explained that
field turf would greatly
expand the use of the field to
nearly year-round for a variety of sports. For example,
such a field could be lined
for football, soccer and
lacrosse
and
utilized
throughout the year during
each sport’s seasons. As of
now the grass field is limited
to use by the school football
teams during the fall.
Expanding the use of the
field at this time is seen as
detrimental to field conditions and more costly to
maintain in prime condition. Maintenance costs for
field turf would be lower
over the course of a year.

UAME Church Takes a ‘Faith Walk,’ Has Last Service in Church
By Jennifer O’Connor
Members of the Union African Methodist Episcopal
(UAME) Church take a “faith walk” as they worshiped for
the last time in their church on McEwen Street in Warwick,
while making plans to rebuild. Mold, asbestos, lead paint
and walls that are caving in are the major environmental
and structural issues inhibiting the nearly 100-year-old
church.
“These things by themselves are no cause for alarm
and could be fixed, if money weren’t the issue, but together it’s a big problem. And, we understand that the building
isn’t the church - the people are the church,” said Rev.
Mashona Davis, Pastor of the UAME Church. “The plan is
first to make sure that we are all safe.”
One contractor told the UAME Pastor and Church
Board that within the next ten years the building would

Akins Pharmacy Gets ‘Best Building
Renovation Award’
On Fri., Nov. 18, the Warwick Valley Chamber of
Commerce held its annual membership dinner at the
Warwick Valley Country Club. The Newhard Family
received the Chamber’s annual “Best Building Renovation
Award” for Akins Pharmacy.
The Newhards recently completed a major renovation
of their Main Street store. Mayor Michael Newhard’s
brother, Robert, and sister, Jean Murphy, bought the pharmacy in 1988 from their parents, who had owned it since
1962. Both Robert and Jean have
worked at the pharmacy their entire
lives.
Despite that other chain owned
pharmacies have come and gone over
the years, Akins has, not only persevered, but flourished. “They are the
consummate example of taking care of
their customers, and many rely tremendously on the two pharmacist’s expertise in times of need,” said Linda Glohs,
Executive Director of the Warwick
Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Linda shares a time when she moved to Warwick 26
years ago. She said, “I was sick and pregnant and needed a
prescription. Robert, who is a runner, actually ran it out to
my house in the middle of a snow storm.” She then adds,
“At any rate, they make Main Street proud with their renovation.”
Also at the annual membership meeting new 2006
Chamber Board members were welcomed and Justine
Spaulding received recognition as “Volunteer of the Year.”
Jean Murphy and Michael Newhard

dinner, where they accepted the "Best

Family of Henry &
Dwight Dutcher Sought
A historian working for Cornell is seeking family
members of the Rev. Henry Dutcher, born in 1851 and died
in 1906. His son was Dwight Dutcher, a jeweler here in
Warwick in the early 1900's. The Reverend was one of the
passengers on the first train ride over the Erie Railroad's
Delaware Division, and any diaries or personal papers that
may still exist are being sought. A partial account of the
ride, which was quite an adventure, is online at

Tune to Cablevision Municipal Channel 21 or
log on to www.townofwarwick.org for Town information.
The Town held its Parks & Recreation
Workshop recently with good turnout from residents. I want to thank the Recreation Committee
for their help at each location and their interaction
with everyone who attended. My observations
were that everyone was glad we are taking a careful
look at recreation. Some felt we should be expanding our definition to include more community
center activities, and some were concerned that the
Town will raise taxes to implement the plan. The
Town Board has embarked upon this study precisely to explore all options including public, school
and private partnerships to achieve our goal of
meeting future recreation needs at a minimal cost
to our taxpayers. I urge all residents to complete the
on-line survey (an orange post card was sent to each
home) by Dec. 12 so we can incorporate your ideas.
Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt will hold a
constituent day at 12 noon on Dec. 8 at the
Warwick Town Hall. Among other topics will be a
discussion of ideas for school tax reform.
Annual Toy Drive
The next regular meeting of the Town Board
will be held on Thurs., Dec. 8 at 1 p.m. in the
Warwick Town Hall, 132 Kings Highway.

Maple Avenue Tree Knocks Out Power
By Lisa Rice
On Tues., Nov. 29, a large tree on Maple Avenue fell
down during a sudden storm, knocking out power in the
village. “That big old tree came down and took out the
power lines in three directions,” said Ed Verbaack, of
Orange and Rockland Utilities on the scene the following
morning. “Both ways on 94 and up Grand Street there was
no power. It’s going to be a big clean up; it’ll take all day.
It would’ve been much easier if the tree had fallen in the
opposite direction, there’s no wires, no buildings…”
The tree fell across Maple Avenue at the intersection of
Grand Street just before 6 pm, usually a very busy time at
that intersection. Fortunately there were no injuries.
According to a Warwick Valley Telephone representative
who was at the scene, a small white car had stopped just
before the tree hit the ground and just a branch was lying
over the hood.
“It’s a miracle that there were no injuries,” said Claudia
Vaccaro, President and Owner of Claudia Vaccaro Real
Estate, which occupies the building next door to where the
tree fell. “That’s a busy intersection, where cars are usually
waiting to turn onto Grand Street or into one of the two
gas stations.”
Vaccaro was notified at her home shortly after the incident occurred. “I was initially concerned about injuries. I
didn’t know which way the tree fell. My office closes at 5:30
p.m., but many times the agents remain later. I also have
tenants upstairs. If the tree had hit my building, or the
church next door and someone was inside, they could have
been seriously injured. My agent’s park by the church and
walk past that tree every day. Moments earlier, Sandy Frost
closed the office and walked past that tree to her car. We’re
so fortunate that no one got hurt.”
The largest damage, beside the fallen tree, was the loss
of power. Immediately following the incident, the hospital
went on back up generators. “The first thing we had to do
was get the hospital up and running. It was priority,” said
Verbaack. Power was restored to St. Anthony Community
Hospital at approximately 9:30 p.m. Other neighboring
locations were not so lucky.
The next morning, Claudia Vaccaro Real Estate,
Warwick Reformed Church and the Sunoco Station were
still without power. “It’s frustrating,” said Vaccaro. “Our
business relies heavily on the phones. Many of our clients
were unaware of the power outage, and just got endless
ringing. Our system is electronic, so even when they
restored phone service, without electricity our system was
still out.”
Warwick Valley Telephone was able to route the phone
system through the fax line onto a rotary phone. “We were
able to work without the electricity and the heat, but no
phone, fax or internet service made it difficult for the
agents. We made the best of it with the one incoming line
and use of cell phones.” Fortunately, the power resumed at
5:30 p.m., and the system was once again up and running.

Guidelines for Effective Letters
Everyone has a right to express an honest opinion, but we
would like to remind readers of a few simple rules for writing
effective letters.
Less is more! The shorter your letter the more likely it is to be
read. Civility is more persuasive than invectiveness. That is, honey
catches more flies than vinegar.
When you read a letter that angers you or that you disagree
with, we warmly encourage you to write a response following the
guidelines suggested above. Our pages are always open to lively
debate, but play fair.
Expresses Gratitude to the
Greiner Family
Editor,
On Fri., Nov. 11, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer held a town
hall meeting regarding various issues affecting agriculture in the
black dirt area and Orange County. This event, jointly sponsored
by the Orange County Vegetable Growers Association and Orange
County Farm Bureau, was held at the Ye Jolly Onion Inn in Pine
Island.
Over the years the Greiner family has graciously opened the
doors of their establishment, the Ye Jolly Onion Inn, and has hosted a number of similar events. They have opened their doors,
extended their genuine, down-home hospitality and have neither
asked for, nor expected, anything in return. The Greiner family’s
kindness demonstrates the sort of community spirit that represents the best of our local farming community. The Orange
County Vegetable Growers Association and Orange County Farm
Bureau would like to formally express our gratitude and appreciation.
As Senator Schumer was overheard remarking as he walked
into the Ye Jolly Onion Inn and looked around the dining area,
“wow, this place is nice.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Neither Snow, Nor Sleet, Nor
Budgetary Constraints?
Editor,
For quite a few years now, various parties in the village have
been campaigning for a newer, a larger, and a more centrally
located post office. The old Grand Union Supermarket was one of
the possible choices.
Considering the large increase in the areas population, I can
see where a larger, more centrally located facility might be needed.
But, I have a question.
No matter what time of day, or time of the year, morning,
noon or night, Christmas, Hanukkah, April 15, there is usually
only one clerk working the counter. Lines may extend outside the
lobby and into the street, but there is only one clerk working the
counter. The clerk works very hard, knows all the products. The
other two spots have signs saying they are closed, next clerk
please.
You can peek into the back room and it is a beehive of activity. The price of the stamp is going up again and still there is only
one clerk taking care of the needs of the post office customers.
My question is, if the post office will not put three clerks to
work in this post office, why do we need a larger facility where,
based upon current practices, managerial practices, there will
never be a fully staffed customer service area???
One other small item, the new sign in the lobby over the mail
slots “Letters” and “all other mail.” Considering that any small
package above a certain weight has to be handed to a clerk (if one
cares to wait or interrupt a transaction) could somebody please
define what “all other mail” consists of? And is a greeting card a
letter, a bill a letter or is a postal card a letter? Or is a letter a personal communication? Thank You.

army after both his parents passed when he was about 21 and
remained in the service for 10 years. He was in World War II and
arrived on the beach in Normandy a day after the horrible attack on
our soldiers.
The description of what he saw that day remained in his mind
(and ours) for years. He taught my brothers and I a lot about our
country and respect for it and our fellow Americans. He told my
brothers that if they had to, he would want them to serve our
Country, but did not inflict his ideals on them. At that time, my
brothers had a high fascination with guns, but he told them he would
never pick up a gun again and that if they went to war, they would
probably feel the same way.
Now, here we have this student of Warwick Valley High School
who was merely expressing his opinion (and maybe that opinion of
your child or your grandchild). We live in very different times today,
the children are afraid. And whose fault might that be??? What has
happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH or did we lose that too? Our
children are just the reflection of who we are and what we teach
them. They only know what we have molded them to be, of course
with a few of their own feelings.
I did not find this article offensive and nor should you. The children are merely expressing their feelings, which is very healthy. I am
sure if they had to fight in a war they would, but the war today is
beginning to seem more and more senseless to them. But why not
listen to the children of the world. They are telling us something and
if you haven't thought about it, they ARE the future.

just fall down on its own if they did nothing. Together,
they all felt that the most responsible thing to do is to protect the human body. For some members suffering from
asthma and other respiratory aliments, these symptoms are
aggravated while they are in the building.
Not being handicapped accessible is difficult for aging
members. One member, who has a wheel chair lift in his
van, can get to the church but he can’t use the bathroom
there. When he has to use the bathroom, he has to get back
into his van and drive home to use the restroom, then
come back.
While the Church Board is getting permits, permission
and putting together fundraisers to build a safe edifice, the
growing congregation of about 40 families will be worshiping in Warwick’s Town Hall. “That’s a Blessing,” says
Rev. Davis. “We love this Town – the community has been
so supportive.”
They also hope that by doing this they can save some
money. This year alone $10,000 has already been spent on
heat for a building only used for a few days during the
week. Money towards repairs of broken windows, holes in
the ceiling, and new electrical wiring will now be put aside
for the new church, which is projected to cost approximately $500,000.
“This may not seem like a lot of money. But it’s astronomical for our budget. We have a high population of senior citizens and half of our adult members are on fixed
incomes,” said Rev. Davis. “These are frugal times where
people are spending more money getting to work because
of the price of gas.”
UAME, not only, has many senior citizens - it’s also a
growing congregation with an influx of young families that
have small children. Classroom space is needed for the
many programs offered by the church. “We need facilities
to be able to accommodate our seniors and our babies,”
said Rev. Davis. The congregation looks forward to building a multi-purpose facility that will accommodate all of
their needs.
“We still love our church and the idea of not being able
to worship in this particular building is painful. But this is
a 100% ‘faith walk,’ because we are basing this, not on the
money we have in our hands, but on who we know God is
- we know that God is a provider,” says Rev. Davis. This
feeling is consistent and felt throughout the congregation.
Having been a member of UAME for 13 years, Terry
Meli, Christian Education Leader, said “I don’t know if I
want to go and say ‘goodbye’ to the church, but the church
is the people.” Lena Logan, who has been a member for 48
years cried during the service. “For me it’s heart breaking,”
she said.
Rev. Davis told her congregation during their last service that as wondrous as their facility is – if it is not meeting
the needs that they have, they know that God has better.
“As wonderful, as it is to come to 98 McEwen Street, I
want to encourage you to roll up your sleeves and do what
needs to be done, so we can come back. And we are coming back,” said the Reverend.
She adds, “I’m not caught up in what the building is
going to look like. I’m not caught up in even how much it’s
going to cost. I’m more filled with – what’s going to be
done here, so that we are going to be safe and have enough
space for our children to grow.”

Every year the Warwick Valley Chamber of
Commerce organizes events to enhance the holiday
season. A Poinsettia Mixer was held at General’s
Garden on Thurs., Dec. 1, where guests were invited,
by the Sweetons, to vote for one of the many varieties
that fill their greenhouse, and funds are raised for
Warwick in Bloom.
Each year the Chamber petitions Village Hall to
encourage shoppers by offering free parking during
December. To enhance this, the Chamber provides
colorful meter decorations which are installed by the
‘Christmas Carols’, Carole Rogers and Carol
O’Connor.
On Sun., Dec. 11, from 12 noon to 3 p.m., Santa
will appear on the Railroad Green, along with Castle
Carriage’s massive black Percherons pulling the
“omnibus” carriage, which tours between Memorial
Park and the Railroad Green. This is offered free to
the public. Last year the high school Meistersingers
sang their hearts out to the children, and hot chocolate was offered courtesy of Bellvale Creamery. Photos
with Santa in his sled will be available as well.
We thank the many volunteers of Warwick Valley
Gardeners that have beautified the Railroad Green
and various other sites throughout town.
On Wed., Nov. 30, there was a motor vehicle accident at the corner of County Rte. 1 and Blooms Corners Rd.
According to the Warwick Police Department, a 1999 Jeep operated by Dane Devitson of Warwick was crossing
County Rte. 1 onto Blooms Corners Rd. when it was struck on the passenger side by an eastbound vehicle, operated
by Kenneth Kwak of Sussex, NJ. Both drivers were transported to St. Anthony Community Hospital.

Community Spirit Sweeps Through
‘Holiday House Tour & Festival of Trees’
By Eileen Patterson
Two years of a successful Holiday House Tour have
proven that another tradition has clearly taken root in
Warwick. The volunteers who support St. Anthony
Community Hospital have put their talents together to create the “Second Annual Holiday House Tour and Festival of
Trees.”
Seven gracious and artistic local homeowners opened
up their doors this weekend to display their holiday dressings for the benefit of the Hospital. The weekend event
began on Friday for those lucky enough to reserve a spot at
this must-do event.
The evening included a viewing of the “Festival of
Trees” at Schervier Pavilion; a tour of the homes that were
lit up and decorated for the Holidays; and a delicious buffet dinner at the Warwick Country Club. Saturday ticketholders were certainly not left out in the cold, as they were
privy to all of the hospitality and innovative Holiday design
with the addition of spectacular views and beautiful weather.
The first home on the tour was the Arndt home, located just outside of the Village. This is a comfortable colonial style home with southwestern influences throughout;
the Arndts have created a warm holiday haven for themselves and their two beloved dogs.
The next stop was Ashford Cottage in the heart of the
Village. Elizabeth and Terrance Colman purchased this
house on Oakland Avenue and transformed it into an
enchanting Bed and Breakfast. When renovating and
designing this Victorian style retreat, the couple stayed true
to both the original architecture of the one-hundred plus
year old house and their Irish heritage. Each of the guest
rooms, the dining room, and the sitting room are breathtaking. The Holiday decorations are not obtrusive and add
to the warmth of the rooms without being overwhelming.
After reading the description of the next house as “a
Tuscan treasure perched high on the hillside,” attendees’
curiosity was piqued. They were not disappointed as they
drove up a long driveway on Jones Road to see the
Cantelmo family home, which was built with the design of
an Italian piazza as the inspiration. The Holiday trimming
only added to the year-round decorating in this spectacular home. Upon entering, one guest asked her friend, “Has
‘House Beautiful’ been here yet?”
A fifteen minute drive to the next house in Greenwood
Lake created an excellent opportunity to contemplate the
first three homes and consider which ideas to “borrow.”
The drive ended at Castlebrook, an eye-catcher by car or
boat. This impressive home, owned by Ken and Jeannie
Olsen, sits on the banks of the eastern shore of Greenwood
Lake. There’s plenty of room for the grandchildren to open
gifts while the grown-ups enjoy spectacular views of the
lake from the dining room and the Appalachian Trail from
the great room.
It was back over the mountain again to the home of
Kristen and Stratos Colman on Hickory Drive. From the
outside, it is a large colonial home which sits high on a hill
and provides majestic views of the Warwick Valley. Inside,
there is plenty of room for the Colmans and their two toddlers to enjoy the Holiday season. Santa Claus was there
providing tours of his “workshop” in the family room. The
huge dining room table was set for a formal dinner for twelve.
A walk through the kitchen brought guests to a lovely living
room decorated for the Holidays with all white accents.
After this house tour, it was back in the car for a quick
drive to Crystal Farm Road - the Gabelmann home.
Homeowner, Claire was friendly and gracious as she guided guests through her house. Her love of the Holidays is
evident as every possible spot was taken up with Holiday
accents. Over one thousand Santa’s and Christmas snowmen
filled the bookcases, tables and Christmas trees in this home.
Every room, including the laundry and bath rooms
was opened for display in this cheerful and inviting palace.
Claire is getting ready to “downsize” and offered her entire
snowman collection for auction to benefit the hospital.
The bids were well over $400 by the end of the day. Having
heard about the bidding opportunity, guests wondered if
they missed their chance until entering the master bedroom to see the bookcases and Christmas tree completely
adorned with a population of the Holiday character.
The finale of the day was the Zimmerli family home
on Adler Terrace. Clearly nature lovers, Ken, Lisa and
Elizabeth keep the forest creatures in mind when creating
their Holiday designs. The back yard trees are trimmed
with fruit, nuts and berries for the deer while the birds are
welcome to stop by for a snack at the window boxes, which
are stuffed with greens, berries and fruit. Two Christmas
trees are found in this comfortable home; one is decorated
in traditional style while the other is a celebration of the
harvest and the season with assorted nuts and berries.
As the tour ended, guests wondered if bids they placed
at the “Festival of Trees” had been outdone. As maps, tickets, arm bands and shoe covers were distributed at the start
of the day - guests were invited to wander among the forest of donated trees. Each tree was purchased and decorated by a local sponsor; some were the product of a team
effort of a sponsor and an outside decorating team. The
trees were auctioned to the highest bidder and sponsors
were awarded ribbons on a variety of categories. Ticketholders cast a vote for Best in Show, Best Representation of
a Business, Most Traditional, and Most Original.
This was clearly a well-organized event which included many elements of the collaborative spirit of the
Warwick community. The event committee is made up of
volunteers who strived to incorporate the talents and generosity of many organizations for this fundraiser. The
Warwick High School Wrestling Team lent some muscle by
sending members of the team to the Country Club for
waiter and busboy duty.
The Boy Scouts had several volunteers on hand at the
homes to answer questions and manage the crowds. Each
home was hosted by a volunteer greeter. Twenty-eight
businesses, in and around Warwick, purchased and decorated trees for the “Festival of Trees.” The students at Park
Avenue Aftercare, Sanfordville Aftercare, and All My
Children Childcare all lent their decorating talents as well.
The committee will get to work on the “Third Annual
Winding Through Warwick and Festival of Trees” early in
2006, when they begin to encourage homeowners to open
their doors for the benefit of the Hospital. SACH Executive
Vice President, Rudy Breedy, said the event raised over
$20,000 for the Hospital. All proceeds will benefit the renovation of the Hospital, a member of the Bon Secours
Charity Health System.

New Superintendent:
‘Leadership Style Encourages
Others To Do Better’
By Nancy Owen
Coming from a blue collar neighborhood in Long Island City, with no one in
his family completing a high school education, Frank Greenhall, the new
Superintendent of the Warwick Valley
school system says, “Education has been
good to me.”
Although he started out slowly, and
not an outstanding high school student,
more interested in his hobby of racing
pigeons than scholastics, Dr. Greenhall
progressed from Sullivan County
Community College with an Associates in
Art (Liberal Arts) Degree to a Doctorate
Degree from the University of Delaware
where he graduated Magna Cum Laude.
He originally taught social studies and special education in a number of junior and
senior high schools. He’s a certified
teacher and administrator in the State of
New York, and is certified as an administrator in both New Jersey and Delaware.
He’s listed in the “Who’s Who in American
Education” and is recognized by the New
York State Center for School Safety with an
Unsung Hero Award.
Not only is he an expert in the field of
education but he has reached the top of his
hobby world serving as president of the
American Racing Pigeon Union (AU) and has
been inducted into the AU’s Hall of Fame recognizing his leadership and direction.
When asked about his leadership style
and how he plans to make the Warwick
school system great, Dr. Greenhall replied,
“…leadership style encourages others to
do better - accents the positive and doesn’t
dwell on the negative.” Most people are
content to be good and it is hard to motivate staff to be great but he hopes to be able
to accomplish this goal with an open door
policy and a work ethic most people can’t
keep up with. Most of his office work is
done after school hours.
He feels many people have influenced
the direction of his life and that influence
came from all directions not just from the
top down; he hopes to be able to influence
others. Dr. Greenhall keeps in touch with
about 3,000 people who have affected his
life. “Unlike a craftsman, who gets to see
the finished product right away, education
takes time to see the finished product and
therefore I stay in touch with students that
have influenced my life,” concluded
Superintendent-to-be Greenhall. His policy about applying for a job is to never follow someone who’s admired and/or has
been there a long time. In this instance he
is doing both.

Personal service and customer satisfaction are a high priority at Sneakers to
Boots, located at 314 Rte 94 S in Warwick.
Starting his sixteenth year, Ralph
Wolckenhauer takes great pride in offering
customers a custom fit pair of sneakers or
boots. Ralph and his employees take time
to measure their customer’s feet and offers
several alternatives from a wide variety of
brands. They want to make sure that you
get the perfect footwear for your favorite
activity.
Customers who leave the store feel
greatly uplifted. Big box stores and online
purchases don't offer this same personal
service. Buying locally saves you time and
money. Besides, if you need a special order
for an unusual size, Ralph can arrange for
you to receive this in a short time period.
During the summer months patrons
can find a satisfying sandal at Sneakers to
Boots. During inclement weather, the
boots you'll buy will help protect your feet
and give great support. Throughout the
years, Ralph has sponsored many local
sports teams allowing youngsters to have
fun on the weekends and after school.
Sneakers to Boots has also contributed
annually to the Warwick Lions 5K Race.
Open seven days a week with plenty of
parking, you’ll find it convenient.
One customer ordered size 15 high
red Converse sneakers which he wore to his
wedding. He outfitted the entire wedding
party with high red Converse sneakers, all
bought at Sneakers to Boots. The picture of
the wedding party complete with sneakers,
is hanging on the wall of the store. The customer was even able to take advantage of
Ralph's special coupon offer!

Smaller Works for Enjoyment &
Giving this Holiday Season
For the past four years, The Gallery at
Port of Call, located on the first floor of the
historic W.T. Anderson building on Main
Street, Warwick, has hosted an eclectic
exhibit of works by local artists who have
participated in exhibits at the gallery. “It’s
sort of like a family reunion with artists
whose work we have had the pleasure of
displaying through the years,” says Tony
Blomfield, who, together with his wife,
Deborah, own Port of Call.
He adds, “We ask about thirty artists
to provide us with some smaller works.
The result is an exhibit that has a little bit
of everything, so you’re never quite sure
what you will come across next! It’s always
fun and interesting and puts an explanation point on the year’s exhibits. We
request smaller works partly for space rea-
sons but more importantly, the works are a
size that can easily be accommodated in
someone’s home. My wife and I have
exchanged pieces of art as holiday and
birthday presents for years. I think it is one
of the best possible ways to give someone
you care about something special. Not
only will it bring pleasure to the recipient;
but, will always be there to remind them of
the giver, while adding something special
to the home!”
The “Holiday Exhibit” will be on display at The Gallery of Port of Call from
Dec. 10 through Jan. 29, with an opening
reception to be held Saturday, Dec. 10 from
6 to 8 p.m. The Gallery is open daily, for

By Katie Bisaro
The Holiday season is always a busy time

FORTY YEARS AGO
December 8, 1965
• At a Warwick Village Board meeting, Fire Chief
Calvin Gilbert spoke to the Board about the formation of a
new company for Engine 3. Chief Gilbert said that with
only a three man crew at Engine 3, the day-to-day work of
taking care of the fire house and truck was getting ahead of
them and adding to already existing problems. Mayor
Relyea said the Board would have no objections to the new
company but that there are legal, personnel, and financial
problems that would have to be ironed out.
• Also at the Village Board meeting Milton Helt
brought to the Boards attention, the constant problem of
dogs running loose and in some instances scaring shoppers
on Main St. The dogs block entrances and exits to businesses along the street and frequently get into fights. Dog
Warden, Alex Scherman said that over five hundred dogs
have been enumerated within the Village limits. The Board
decided that the only solution is a strict enforcement of the
Dog Ordinance Law.

can aptly be applied to Norman Finnegan and the Sterling

Hotel is back in operation with a new look and décor.

• The general consensus of Warwick School District
residents on the possibility of closing a school was reiterated at the second of a series of public hearings. In a straw

the Board of Education choose "Option I" of the proposed
study, which is to close Park Avenue School.
• Mrs. Mary Knebel called to tell "The Dispatch" that

were: Miguel Ciena and Bobby Horton of the Evens who
accidentally booted the ball into his own goal to score for
the Odds as the result of a corner kick by Kevin Jones.
• This year’s Turkey Bowl resulted in a 6-6 deadlock.
The Odds drew first blood as Kevin Berry hit teammate Joe
Zuk with a 20-yard swing pass for a touchdown. The lead
was short-lived as on their very next possession they fumbled the ball on their own two yard line. The fumble was
recovered by Even Art Canevari who ran to the end zone to
tie the game.

are women.

techniques, medications, various devices
and surgery. The solution usually begins
with the least invasive treatments but, in
some cases, a minimally invasive surgical
approach called a sling procedure may be
recommended. A sling is a medical device
that provides support on the pelvic floor
to help a woman maintain urinary continence. It acts like a "hammock" of support
around the urethra.
On Oct. 25, Boston Scientific, a
worldwide developer, manufacturer and
marketer of medical devices, presented a
two-part seminar at St. Anthony
Community Hospital for Physician
Certification in a new Urethral Sling procedure. The seminar, led by K. Kent
Chevli, M.D., included a slide presentation, lecture discussion and hands on surgical practice. Dr. Chevli is a Board
Certified Urologist, Clinical Instructor
and Assistant Clinical Professor at the
School of Medicine and Biomedical
Sciences at the State University of New York.
One of the physicians who attended
the seminar - Dr. Ronald Raspa, who specializes in urology at his office in Goshen,
was especially enthusiastic about the new
procedure. "This is the best variation on a
treatment which had been introduced to
us after European trials," said Dr. Raspa.
"The artificial material used is bio compatible, which allows normal body tissue
to adhere to it. And it also provides excellent support."
Dr. Raspa explained that this new
approach, a same day procedure, is minimally invasive, promises a quick recovery
and should enjoy a 90 percent success
rate. "It’s the best technology available
today," he said. All the physicians who
attended the seminar are associated with
St. Anthony Community Hospital and
specialize in obstetrics and gynecology or
urology.
Residents, Families & Staff
Enjoy A Fall Family Festival
The decorations and colors in the
reception area at Schervier Pavilion, a
skilled nursing facility on the Bon Secours
Warwick Healthcare Campus, were as
bright and cheerful as the autumn leaves
on the picturesque trees that surround the
facility. On Oct. 20, members of the
Schervier Pavilion staff joined with residents and their families to celebrate
autumn with a fall family festival. Everyone
was treated to a variety of refreshments
including hors d’oeuvres and special
desserts served with coffee, tea and punch.
To top off the afternoon festivities, entertainer Brian Carew made the rounds with
his guitar, stopping at each table to sing a
few old favorites while inviting everyone to
join in.
The annual fall family festival was
soon followed by a Halloween party on
Oct. 31 and an evening visit by costumed
trick-or-treaters, the children of staff
members, that same evening. Seasonal and
holiday events have an important value in
long term care at Schervier Pavilion.
All programs at Schervier Pavilion are
designed to meet the psychosocial and
physical needs of the residents with activities that are not only enjoyable but are also
intended to achieve this goal. Holiday and
seasonal celebrations and family gettogethers are not only nice breaks from the
resident’s daily routine but they give everybody something to look forward to and
then talk about.

Is it possible for two NFL head coaches to go 23 years
without facing each other in a game? The answer is yes. Can
you guess how, and name the two coaches? Kansas City’s
Dick Vermeil was 68 and Washington’s Joe Gibbs 64 when
their teams squared off in October of 2005. The previous
time these two coaching legends were on opposite sides of the
field was in 1982, when Vermeil coached Philadelphia against
the Gibbs-led Redskins. Both had taken off more than a
decade before deciding to coach again. By the way, Gibbs was
the winner in ’82, but Vermeil won the ’05 game.
Here’s a dubious distinction: the most frequently
sacked quarterback since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. Any
guesses? Using a minimum of 1,500 times dropping back to
pass, the winner, so to speak, was David Carr of the Houston
Texans. Through the middle of the 2005 season, Carr had
been sacked once for every 8.9 times he dropped back (170
sacks out of 1,508 drop backs). Next was Neil Lomax, with
one sack every 9.7 drop backs (362 out of 3,515). The quarterback who suffered the most total sacks was Randall
Cunningham with 484 out of 4,773 drop backs, a ratio of 9.9.
College quarterbacks aren’t usually known for posting
big passing numbers, but in October of 2005 Texas Tech’s
Cody Hodges threw for 643 yards to defeat Kansas State. Just
two years earlier, Tech’s B.J. Symons passed for 661 yards
against Mississippi. But the major college record for yards
passed in one game is an incredible 716 by Houston’s David
Klingler in 1990. The record for most attempts and completions in a game was set by Purdue’s Drew Brees – 55 for 83 in
a 1998 loss to Wisconsin.
I bet you didn’t know...that being an independent agent

A Community Message from
The Superintendent of Schools
Helping Parents Help their
Kids
"According to a scientific analysis of 25
studies…when parents are simply more involved than
average, their children are an astonishing 30 percent
more successful in school."
–The Parent Institute, 2004
The administration and faculty of the Warwick
Valley Central School District believe that homework is
an important extension of the school day. Children
today are faced with more challenges in the regular
school day than ever before because of increased federal, state and local testing requirements. With that in
mind, and in an effort to help parents, I have asked the
Warwick School District’s Director of English/language
arts, social studies and academic intervention services,
Susan Ruckdeschel, to prepare an outline of strategies to
help students with their homework. Hopefully, you will
find the following information from Ms. Ruckdeschel
helpful for you and your children.
Dr. Joseph L. Natale
Superintendent of Schools
Help Your Child Develop Organizational Skills
Helping your child develop organizational skills is
catalyst to establishing good work study and homework
habits. We can help them by showing them how we
organize our own world; show them shopping and "To
Do" lists, provide them an assignment notebook or daily
planner so they can make their own "To Do" list for
school.
Establish a Study Spot
When we take our ritual spot on the couch, chair in
the kitchen, etc., to pay our bills or read the newspaper,
we are demonstrating for our children the importance
of establishing their own space for homework. Be sure
their homework spot is well lit, quiet (NO television!),
comfortable, neat and stocked with supplies such as
pencils, paper, dictionary, etc. Most of all, keep disruptions minimal in this time and space.
Routine is Everything
Some tips for helping establish the kind of routine
that will facilitate an independent homework ethic
include having your children study every day – even
when they don’t have homework, allowing study breaks
of 5 to 10 minutes for every 20 to 30 minutes of study
time, staying near enough to offer help when needed,
having children study the more difficult subjects first –
while energy is higher and before it gets too late.
Helping Versus Doing It For Them
When you give in to the temptation to give an
answer to your child, you are actually adding to their
struggles. Allowing them to find their own answers
facilitates long-term understanding. Ask questions that

will help them find their own answer, such as, "What do
you think that means?" Remind your child about features of a textbook that will help them locate information – the glossary or the index. Help them to notice picture captions, charts, graphs, etc., which improve comprehension.
When There Really Isn’t Any Homework
Sometimes there really isn’t any homework. But
there should always be something to do. Some other fun
activities for children that reinforce skills are reading,
creating their own newsletter or starting a book or
movie club. The Albert Wisner Public Library in
Warwick has many childrens and teens programs and
events, and they have many resources for projects,
research and enrichment reading. Some places to look
on the Internet for activity ideas for children are:

It takes a village to raise a child, and lots of support
from parents to raise a willing, independent learner
whose success comes primarily from our nurturing at
home.

Warwick Baseball Club Golf
Event a Rousing Success
Chilly fall temperatures could not stop 73
golfers from teeing off at
the first annual golf outing/fundraiser held for the
Warwick Baseball Club
(WBC) at the Mansion
Ridge Golf Club in
Monroe. Due to inclement
weather, the event had to
be rescheduled from its
original date that was set
for earlier in the season.
Following golf, nearly
100 people were in attendance at Mansion Ridge
for a cocktail hour and
dinner buffet. The evening
was made complete when a
long list of prizes and giveaways were raffled including, Cleveland woods drivers, gift baskets, sports
memorabilia, and gift certificates to many local
establishments.
"The day was a rousing success," commented
WBC President Matt
Victor. "We couldn’t have
done it without the golfers’
support." The Baseball
Club also thanked Fousta
Phelan from Mansion
Ridge for directing the
event, as well as many individual and corporate
sponsors from the area for
their generous support.
All proceeds raised by
this year’s golf outing were
a benefit to the Warwick
Baseball Club in an effort
to support youth baseball
programs throughout the
Warwick schools and community. The club is already
planning their second
annual golf event to be
held at Mansion Ridge in
September 2006.
