Warwick Man Celebrates 100th Birthday
By Robert Demetry
Sporting a rainbow-colored propeller beanie hat that
said, “I don’t wanna grow up,” 100-year-old Howard
Werany of Warwick sat poised to blow out the candles on
his birthday cake. But there were none!
Instead, to save the precious energy it would take to do
that, as well as excite his heart pacemaker, a relative from
New Hampshire, who couldn’t attend the party, sent him
100 colorful helium-filled balloons to liven up the centurial gathering in his honor Sun., Dec. 5 at the Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church.
More than 100 family and friends greeted the dapper
dresser who was once a messenger for the Federal Deposit
Bank in New York and a Brooklyn milkman who sold
quarts of milk from a horse-drawn wagon in below zero
temperatures.
Werany plunked down $100 in 1928 for a Model T
Ford for his honeymoon travels to Virginia Beach, in the
ensuing years, he and his wife moved to Warwick to raise
four children where his extended family blossomed to ten
grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
On a table in front of a nostalgic collage of words and
pictures symbolizing Werany’s cultured character, sat two
beautifully hand-crafted and carefully designed photograph albums of cherished memories (done by his granddaughter Donna Montouri Whitaker) from living a full life
for a full century in which 18 U.S. presidents – from
Theodore Roosevelt to George W. Bush – molded and
shaped Werany’s world.
Many local friends, businessmen and familiar female
acquaintances came to pay homage to an active member –
for 26 years – of the Warwick Valley Senior Club in which
he served as its president for 22 years.
Orange County Executive Edward A. Diana honored
Werany with a county “proclamation” which, among other
things, gave credit and distinction to him “for his efforts
to” – get speakers to the club to speak on services for seniors and also getting the seniors a bigger space to meet in
the Warwick Town Hall instead of the Episcopal Church.”
Diana praised Werany for “always looking out for his
fellow seniors and being a quick witted, people person,
conversing with everyone he meets.”

WARWICK VALLEY DISPATCH, DECEMBER 8, 2004
Town Planning Board Approves
Three Applications
By Scott Webber
The Warwick Town Planning Board approved
three applications and held over three others at their Wed.,
Dec. 1 meeting. Michael and Dawn Hazard got final
approval for their five-lot subdivision on 37 acres on the
south side of Prices Switch Road, about 550 feet west of
Drew Road, after explaining how buyers will be protected
from any possible radon in their drinking water by having
filters in the system.
The developers provided testimony from an expert
who said the radon levels were well below the danger level
and that if there was ever any danger, the filtration system
would take care of the problem. The water will be tested
before any Certificates of Occupancy are issued.
Subdivision Approved on Drew Rd.
The Board approved a four-lot subdivision known as
Drew Subdivision on 69 acres on the south side of Drew
Road. Deborah Drew Hallisev was the applicant. The
approval came after it was agreed that a 100-foot buffer will
be provided for salamanders on the property to protect
them as endangered species. Town Planner Ted Fink said
that 32 test holes had been drilled on the site, showing
there were no archeological concerns in the area.
Subdivision on Merritts Island Road
Approved also was a two-lot subdivision of Victoria
Sadowski on 3.43 acres on the north side of Merritts Island
Road, some 1334 feet west of County Route 1. The application was approved under the provisions of the 1989
Zoning Code.
West Ridge Farms Adjourned
The application of James Aronson and Anne
Harrington for preliminary approval of a proposed five-lot
subdivision on 39 acres known as West Ridge Farms on the
north side of West Ridge Road and 200 feet east of
Cornfield Lane, was adjourned until Jan. 19, 2005 to allow
time for a letter from the Army Corps of Engineers to
arrive about the wetlands.
The Board also wants to know what steps will be taken
to protect the timber rattlesnakes on the site, an endangered species. Aronson said no construction will take place
on lot four which is next to the rattlesnake’s habitat.
Warwick Professional Park
After reviewing the application of Warwick
Professional Park for final site plan approval and special
use permit for the construction and use of a seven-unit
office park on the east side of Kings Highway, the Board
voted to set it for a public hearing on the next available
agenda.
The application calls for the office park to be built on
15.86 acres between the Manno Farm on the west and the
Mid-State Lumber Company on the east.
Subdivision Proposed on Nelson Road
The Board also reviewed, but took no action on the
application of Adam Filipowski, for a proposed three-lot
major subdivision on the east side of Nelson Road, some
1,607 feet northeast of Penaluna Road. He wants to create
two four-acre lots and one 5.22-acre lot.

Residents Enjoy First Annual ‘Winding Through
Warwick Holiday House Tour’
By Eileen Patterson
After many years of attending the Holly Trail, many
area residents and visitors were missing the chance to sneak
a peak at how a home should be decorated for the holidays.
The fundraising committee at St. Anthony Community
Hospital seized the opportunity and created the first annual “Winding Through Warwick Holiday House Tour.” Six
talented homeowners opened their doors to display their
creativity and ingenuity.
The Warwick Valley Bed and Breakfast on Maple
Avenue was the first stop. The house is a completely
restored 1900 Colonial Revival home in Warwick’s
Historical District. It is one of the Town’s most charming
B&Bs and is also the home of Warwick native Loretta
Breedveld and her two children, Josh and Nina. Loretta has
tastefully furnished both the home and inn with an eclectic combination of antiques. Her holiday décor is traditional and natural. A table was set in the dining room of
the inn to evoke the spirit of a quiet and romantic New
Year’s Eve celebration for two.
The Raymond home on Kings Highway sits amid five
acres of mature trees and apple orchards. The colonial-
style farmhouse dating back to 1885 is home to Joe and
Karen Raymond. Upon entering the home, guests were
awed by the oak library complete with leaded glassenclosed bookcases. All of the rooms displayed were decorated with special emphasis on custom seasonal floral
arrangements.
The model home for Warwick Grove was on display
for the tour. This gave curious guests an opportunity to see
the building and design which will go into the Warwick
Grove project being built in the Village. The home, called
The Warwick, was decorated by The Red Shutters to display
the warmth of the holiday season. It was decorated in the
classic Hudson Valley style with emphasis on evergreens,
pine cones, apples and ribbons.
Marge and Jack Porter offered their home on Nieland
Drive for display as well. Guests were treated to a wonderful display of the owners’ collections which include antique
baskets, pewter and birdhouses. Each of the rooms on display included a Christmas tree decorated to match the spirit of the room.
In addition to touring the homes throughout the
Town of Warwick, guests were invited to browse through a
Festival of Trees at Schervier Pavilion. Twelve trees were on

trees were offered complete with decorations at a silent
auction.
All proceeds from the tour and the tree auctions will
be used to purchase new equipment, provide community
healthcare programs and make vital improvements at St.

Happy Chanukah to all our Jewish friends and
neighbors.
Thank you to Moshe and Doris Schwartzberg
for organizing the annual Menorah Lighting at
Lewis Park.
Congratulations to James and Richard
Fivehouse who were inducted in the Eagle Court of
Honor this past weekend.
There has been frustration on both ends with
the annual leaf pickup. Residents are angry that
their leaves are not picked up in a timely manner.
The difficulties faced are many. In some cases there
are 150-200 bags per residence in any given neighborhood. The bags are taken to a mulching operation and each bag has to be cut open. The process is
time consuming and labor intense. Meanwhile,
other duties cannot be neglected – road patching,
water main breaks, park maintenance, etc. Our crew
will be out in full tilt. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Village of Warwick will be participating in
the Annual Toy Drive sponsored by the Dept. of
Parks, Recreation and Conservation of Orange
County for disadvantaged children in the county
beginning Mon., Nov. 29 through Mon., Dec. 20.
New and clean used toys and games may be
dropped off at Village Hall Monday through Friday
between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The Village has new water billing software,
which will change the format for water billing.
Customers will now receive a postcard instead of
the carbon envelope received in the past. Please be
watchful when you receive your mail.
Warwick in Bloom continues to meet on a
monthly basis. This is a great committee of volunteers. Anyone interested in participating, call Heidi
at 986-7210.
Please remember the Village of Warwick has a
leash law and please respect your neighbor and
neighborhood by cleaning up after your dog – it’s
the law and punishable by a $250 fine.

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.

‘The Emptiest Barrel Makes the
Loudest Sound’
Thanks Community for
Supporting Harvest to Holly Tour
Editor,
Thank goodness we have good ole’ Stan Mocarsky always
ready to complain and point a finger at anyone who doesn’t agree
with his way of thinking and to point out the dangers of those who
have opinions that differ from his. His letters remind me of the
adage, “the emptiest barrel makes the loudest sound.”
Editor,
On behalf of the Historical Society of the Town of Warwick I
want to thank all those in the community who contributed to the
success of our first annual Harvest to Holly walking tour of our
museum buildings. Some 500 adults and children participated in
the tour despite the rainy weather. Our structures, authentically
decorated in the 18th and 19th century holiday themes were
enjoyed by all, as was the hot cider along the way which provided
welcome good cheer.
We especially thank the over 70 members, volunteers and
docents who worked so hard on this project. Also thanks to our
individual museum business and family sponsors, the Chamber of
Commerce, the Merchants Guild, the High School History Club,
Boy Scouts, the Historical Society Sewing Group, the musical performers, local orchards, bakers, artists, building curators and the
individual house decorating teams, and so many others that supported our efforts. And congratulations to our co-chairs Barbara
Kohlberger and Denis Kellman for a job well done
The event raised some $11,000 that will help with building
maintenance and support our educational programs. Most
importantly it gave our Society the opportunity to open the
museums to the community for their participation in a walk
through Warwick history. This event is one example of the
Society’s efforts to reinvent ourselves so that we can continue to
contribute to Warwick’s quality of life in this new century. Your
support and participation in the yearlong Society programs is welcome. Please join us again at next year’s walking tour and in the
events that we will be presenting throughout the year.
In the meantime happy holidays and thank you.

Feels Letter Writer is Misguided
Editor,
Nothing could be more American than freedom of speech,
except for apple pie and cheeseburgers, which taste a lot better.
The reason we are in Iraq is to bring democracy to the Iraqis. Not
everyone agrees with Bush and that’s OK, fortunately we can disagree with his policies and not be executed. Isn’t that the greatest
example we could set for the rest of the world? So I feel Stan
Mocarsky is misguided when he complains about the Professor’s
letter to the editor on Nov. 24. The professor is exercising her right
to free speech, and Mr. Mocarsky is angrily speculating about what
the professor is teaching. Bush won fair and square so relax Stan,
don’t be so insecure.
Mr. Bush is a tough guy; he can handle a little criticism!
A. ALLEN
Junior R.O.T.C. Programs are
Successful
Editor,
As a concerned citizen and a taxpayer I make many observations of our town and village, governments, always with a view to
improvement or obvious correction.
As a past student of senior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps,
about September I became acquainted with Col. Donald Bernstein
of the Minisink High School, who heads up the Junior R.O.T.C.
program in that School District and has some responsibility in
recruiting other high schools. There are five J.R.O.T.C. units in
Orange County and Col. Bernstein has been to date unsuccessful
in arranging a seminar or meeting to expose this important leadership and citizenship training to the Warwick School System.
A program of J.R.O.T.C. does not obligate a student to any
service and the school can select the type of military service such
as Army, Marine, etc.
A few days ago I listened to a legendary story of our Secretary
of State, Colin Powell, who early in life did not learn well until he
became involved in senior Reserve Officers Training, which he
credits to his success. Also it was evident he does not favor war
unless it is absolutely necessary.
I have been personally in touch with various leaders of the
Warwick Community and hope it will lead to an opportunity for
Warwick to become acquainted with the successful years
J.R.O.T.C. has had at Minisink.

Women Donate 100 Pounds of Presents
More than concentrating only on exercise, the women
of Warwick’s Curves joined together to send homegrown
holiday spirit to troops serving in Iraq. Throughout
November, they brought homemade goodies, toiletries,
Christmas decorations, hand-held games, and other beautifully wrapped presents, filling a huge storage container
with cheer and good wishes. These presents are headed for
Baghdad to the men and Capt. Heather A. Hills, stationed
there, calls “her soldiers.”
This isn’t the first time this group has banded together to extend a helping hand. This fall Curves raised money
during the Walk for a Cure. It was that effort that inspired
one member to suggest this holiday project, and the generosity and fellowship of the women made it a success. At
Curves, where weight is often a topic, the women donated
in excess of 100 pounds of presents.

Florida Tree Lighting Delights Children of All Ages
By Colleen McAvey
The Florida Fire Department, Highland Engine and
Hose Fire Company delighted a large crowd of families and
guests with their annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony on Fri., Dec. 3. Santa arrived atop a huge fire truck and
brought gifts for everyone there. As he greeted the crowd,
second graders from Golden Hill Elementary Chorale
Group entertained everyone with holiday songs.
The Chorale Group, which is trained by Kristian
Henne, was joined by the Select Winds from Golden Hill
Elementary fourth and fifth graders, trained by Band
Director Chris Jaquin, and under the direction of Mary Lee
Ferris. Principal Ron DePace proudly listened to his students perform beautiful music. The children were thrilled
as well, to see their Principal in the chilly evening watching
them perform. This is the first year the Chorale was
accompanied by the wind ensemble.
Radio Station WTBQ 1110 interviewed Fire Chief Rod
McClane, “live from Florida” and described, “over the air”
all the activities that were going on at this year’s event. The
entire event could not have been possible without the
efforts of the Fire Department and hardworking Florida
Department of Public Work (DPW).
Many Village officials attended the event such as
Mayor Jim Pawliczek; Trustees, Dan Codi and John
Redman; Village Clerk Gloria McAndrews; and Building
Inspector Adrian Mateosian were on hand to help support
the festivities. With a warm smile, County Legislator Mike
Pillmier, a home-grown Floridian, and 35-year member of
the Highland Engine and Hose Company assisted in handing out huge oranges, candy canes, and the largest coloring
books anyone has ever seen. The Fire Company also gave
out free raffle tickets for all the children and 10 huge prizes
were won to the thrill of the crowd.
Holding their new coloring books are Charlie Romano
(son of Karen and Charles Romano) and Matthew
Mulhare with his sister, Kathryn Rose, his mother, Vera,
and brother, Andrew, who all couldn’t believe the
size of the books.

This article is my way of communicating with
you, the residents of the Village of Florida. Any
opinions expressed are strictly my own.
This coming spring the Village is planning to
build a pavilion in the new parkland next to
Glenmere Lake. Since the parkland has no official
name yet, we are asking you to send any suggestions
you might have to the Village Hall, 33 South Main
Street, Florida, NY 10921. Be aware that we cannot
use a name that could cause confusion with 911
emergencies.
Also in the planning for 2005 is a 6,000 square
foot grocery store at the site of the former Big V
ShopRite store. Parties are in contract and in the
process of obtaining municipal approval.
Hopefully, this will help to fill the void created
when ShopRite closed its doors.
On Tues., Dec. 7, Americans observed a day of
solemn remembrance of Pearl Harbor. At sundown
on this same day, many began their observance of
another remembrance, one that brings joy and
hope to all believers. This wonderful season of
“lights” is Hanukkah. In warm and cozy homes,
while children play special games, singing songs
and looking forward to the feast of delectable foods
to follow, friends and relatives gather for the tradition of lighting one candle each evening until a
total of eight candles burn brightly. With prayer
and reverence, each family reenacts a miracle that
holds the Jewish faith steadfast for thousands of
years. A blessed Hanukkah to all who share in the
observance of this holy season.
Tis’ the Season for Gingerbread Girls and Boys

Santas a Big Hit at Annual Winter Craft Fair
By Eileen Patterson
The Warwick Valley Middle School PTA held its annual
Winter Craft Fair at the Middle School on Sat., Dec. 4. Over
150 vendors, many of whom live in Warwick, offered shoppers an opportunity to find one-of-a-kind gifts for the special people on their holiday lists. All items were handmade
and the variety was plentiful.
The selections ranged from wreaths made completely
from nature, to outdoor wooden or slate holiday decorations. Santas of every size and manner could be seen in just
about all of the aisles. One successful vendor had the creative approach of hand painting gourds to look like Santa
and Mrs. Claus.
In addition, the Fair is a chance for school and youth
organizations to raise funds for their particular efforts. Girl
Scout Troop #546 offered very reasonably priced hand-decorated gift bags for sale. The Fair put them well on the way
towards their goal of raising $1600 for a troop trip to a dude
ranch in Pennsylvania.
The Warwick Crew Team had a booth selling cookies
and raffle tickets to assist in funding their team, which is not
covered under the school budget. The Middle School
Drama Club was selling a “Suessically” flavored cookbook to
raise money to fund their Spring production of Suessical the
Musical.
Shoppers were given many chances to taste holiday
cookies, homemade fudge, and dip and chip selections from
vendors. The PTA hosts this annual Winter Craft Fair to give
local vendors an opportunity to sell their wares. In addition,
it is the largest of their fundraising efforts for the year.
The PTA is running behind on funds this year, because
the Winter Craft Fair scheduled for last December, was cancelled due to snowy weather. The crisp air put everyone in
the spirit for the holidays and gave many a good start on
their shopping.
Abby, Katharine and Gina, Girl Scouts from Troop #546,
display their hand-decorated gift bags.
Feeling the Warm Glow at
The General Garden’s
By Colleen McAvey
It was a beautiful evening for a Warwick Valley
Chamber Mixer at The General’s Garden on Thurs., Dec. 2,
surrounded by vibrant Poinsettias, the warm glow of
Holiday lights, good neighbors, food and beverages. Town
Supervisor Michael Sweeton and his family, who own the
General's Garden, opened their doors to local business
owners and chamber members, sharing ideas, making new
friends and new contacts, munching on cheese, fruit, and
deserts.
A contest was held for picking a favorite Poinsettia in
the Green House, which was lined with every possible type
of regular and novelty Poinsettia large, small, hanging, and
standing, in every possible color and style imaginable.
Each guest was invited to peruse the vast selection, learning
about all the different varieties and then pick their favorite.
Throughout the year The Chamber holds many events
to build commraderie, good will, and networking resources
amongst business owners. This Holiday Chamber Mixer
was also a fundraiser that included a 50/50 for the Holiday
decorations in the Village. "The wreaths and lights are a little past their prime,” stated Chamber President Linda
Glohs, “so we would like to buy new ones and continue to
add to the beauty of our Village and Town."
The Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce (WVCC)
was incorporated in 1939 as a non-profit organization.
Their objective is to foster
cooperative
action
in
advancing the common
commercial, industrial, professional and civic interests
of the organization's members in the Town of
Warwick, and surrounding
areas.
The warmth of the
evening could be felt as the
guests stepped out into the
cold night air, and will linger
in the glow of the lights seen
this Holiday Season.
Having a good time are:

Warwick Library
Launches Annual Appeal
For the seventy-seven years it has been in existence,
Warwick’s Albert Wisner Public Library has been a thriving
center of the community and its connection to reading,
life-long learning and personal enrichment. While not the
largest in Orange County, the Wisner Library consistently
sees one of the highest number of borrowers and program
attendees on an annual basis.
So that the library may continue impacting the community in such important ways, and to insure that it is
positioned to provide the best possible library programs
and services, the Library is conducting their first community annual appeal. Public funding provides for the
Library’s basic operation. Contributions throughout the
year enable it to expand the possibilities of meeting the
growing needs of the community, for example . . .
• Growing the Library’s collection - books, books on
tape, CDs, videos/DVDs, computer software, etc. - to where
it should be to serve a community the size of Warwick;
• Enhancing and diversifying Library programs to better respond to the educational and cultural curiosity of our
growing community; and
• Upgrading and adding to the Library’s computer
resources to meet the overwhelming demand for access to
software, specialized databases and the Internet.
All funds received are tax deductible and will go
directly toward growing your Library’s collection, enhancing and adding programs, technological improvements,
and in support of other aspects of operating the Library.
To find out how to contribute contact the Library’s
Director, Rosemary Cooper at 986-1047 or visit:

Shadow Star
By Suzyn Barron
President, the Warwick Valley Humane Society
Shadow, Shadow, Shadow Star
how we wonder why so far
One so lovely, one so bright
like a diamond in the night
Is still unwanted, so unclear
why you’re with us one whole year?
With your dainty, dazzling allure
Someone will choose you one day for sure
how we wonder why so far
One so lovely, one so bright
like a diamond in the night
Is still unwanted, so unclear
why you’re with us one whole year?
why does no one know who you are
Since last December you’ve grown up in a cage
But no one has noticed your youthful age
Now - not even two years old
You’ve spent a homeless year untold.
with pretty markings you are by far
a fancy feline of pure delight
With big green eyes that shine so bright
Ever hopeful, forever dear
But will we find you a family this year?
Shadow, Shadow, Shadow star
black and white beauty that you are
With graceful manner and soft meow
You have been overlooked somehow
Editors Note:
This poem is
written in the
hopes of finding
a family to adopt
“Shadow Star.”

100th Birthday
continued from page 1
Warwick’s Howard Werany is all smiles while cutting his 100th Birthday Cake.
Born on Dec. 10, 1904 in Manhattan to immigrants
from Czechoslovakia and Austria in the late 1800’s, his
father, Victor, was a baker at the Brighton Beach Hotel
and his mother, Lorna, was a housemaid.
At age ten Werany worked in a nearby Brooklyn grocery store for five dollars a week, six days a week.
“When I had to weigh-out five pounds of potatoes for a customer the owner made me go in the back
and put a small stone in with the potatoes to make it
weigh more and he could make more money,” recalled
Werany.
He worked for the Borden’s milk company in
Brooklyn for 30 years, selling dairy products from a
horse-drawn wagon and later from an electric truck until
World War II came along and the country needed the
lead used in car parts and later graduated to gasoline
delivery trucks.
“In those days they didn’t care that much about
employees and there was more concern about the milk
freezing and the horses,” remembers Werany. If something happened on a route, like an accident, the company would ask: “How is the horse?” and didn’t say, “How is
the man? because you could always replace the man.”
“Milk was 12 cents a quart for Grade A and 11 cents
for Grade B and the company was forever pushing butter,
eggs and cottage cheese but the prices were higher than
the stores and it was rough getting rid of them,” recalls
Werany.
“My father-in-law got me into the milk business
which was practically slavery really – you get up at 2 a.m.
and the hours were long, sometimes 12 hours a day or
more,” he said.
Werany married Lorena Steudtner in 1928 when he
was 24.
“My mother said I was too young to get married –
and perhaps she was right – but it lasted and I was married very nicely for over 61 years,” said Werany.
The couple met at a canoe club at Sheepshead Bay.
“I met her there because I saw what I was getting –
you know in those days women wore dresses down to
their ankles and you couldn’t tell what was under the
package,” chuckled Werany.
Howard and Lorena had four children: Adrienne
Cambell, Eunice Golia, Janetta Montouri and Victor
Werany.
He never served in the military and kind of regrets not
serving his country: “I fell between the cracks. You see, I
was too young for World War I and I was too old for World
War II. I was 37 and had three children at the time they
drafted me but didn’t bother to call me into action – what
the heck are they going to do with a 37-year-old married
man?”
“In a way I often was sorry I never did get into the
military but at least I’m alive. Perhaps I wouldn’t be if I had
gone to war.”
His secret recipe for a good marriage? Werany says not
to have any big fights, just small ones. And if you have a
disagreement and are really angry, go out for a walk and
cool off, calm down and get the heck back home where you
belong!
His secret recipe for longevity? Werany says to have a
glass of wine with the dinner meal and a teaspoon of cod
liver oil every morning.
“I think the cod liver oil kept me oiled up all these
years,” mused Werany.
While visiting a friend in Florida, New York, Lorena
and Howard discovered the charming Town of Warwick
and liked it so much they decided to move here and make
it their home – a charming house on Sleepy Valley Road.
He worked at Middletown’s popular discount store,
Playtogs, on Dolson Avenue, starting there in 1955 and
remaining there for 17 years in the shipping and receiving
department: “I lasted as long as the company did,” he
remarked then recalling how he used to go out in the
morning to the nearby Dixie Diner and buy 22 cups of coffee and buns for his workers who came to work without
breakfast.
“But then the boss caught on and cut it out and that
was drastic. I couldn’t understand how they could work
without their coffee, I don’t know,” he said.
Family calls him “one of the kids” and a veritable
spunky ringleader always doing things like playing scrabble, lotto, card games and always baking bread or bagels for
everyone to snack on.
His friends call him a real “people person” and they
love him because he does care about them and does a lot of
little things instead of doing one giant spectacular one.
Werany has been sometimes “over-helpful” said his
daughter Janetta. Once he helped his girl friend, who is 80
years old, out of a chair and he flipped and broke some ribs
as well as she too!”
Although always an avid walker, Werany now has extra
mobility to get around his village. He recently purchased a
mobility electric scooter to help him get around and about
what he considers his native home in a sense.
“I’ve lived here for 47 years and have enjoyed this wonderful place but I wasn’t ‘baptized’ here to be called a
native,” said the avid reader who likes classical music and a
little glass of wine at the end of the day.
“I wasn’t baptized in Wawayanda Creek and am still
looking forward to that because I feel badly about that. If I
was baptized here I would be a real Warwickian – a people
of the valley,” he added.
It is said that men do not quit playing because they
grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.
Whether ten or a hundred, if there is in one’s heart the
love of wonder, the childlike appetite of what’s next, and
the courage to play the game as the rules are written, that
person is forever young.
And Howard Werany is 100 years young!
Note: On Thurs., Dec. 9 Werany’s 100th birthday will be
acknowledged on television’s Channel 4 (NBC) by commentator Willard Scott sometime between 7:15 and 9:15 in the
morning. Tune in to the celebration.

Port of Call Hosts
‘The Christmas
Collection’
In what has become an annual event, The Gallery at
Port of Call, once again hosts "The Christmas Collection"
from Dec. 9 through Jan 30. The exhibit, featuring small
works by twenty artists, represents a look back at some of
the galleries favorite artists that have exhibited their work
during the past year or so and a few new surprises.
The work covers the gamut of mediums from David
Silver’s photography featuring local Warwick scenery,
Sarah McHugh’s Gelatin Prints, oils by Susan Fogel Morris,
Susan Minier’s exciting fabric collage to Joan Ross watercolors and Gary Genetti’s wonderful glass vases.
The exhibit even includes the rarely seen work of
Sheldon Cotler. The diversity and scope of the exhibit
always provides a colorful, fun and exciting collection and
an opportunity to recognize artists enjoyed in the past, find
a new favorite and perhaps select a treasured piece as a gift
for the holiday season.
Classic Choral Society’s
‘Christmas Garland’
Holiday concerts offered by Orange County’s Classic
Choral Society have become perennial favorites – but this
year, concert-goers will get the chance to actively become
involved in the performance of the program – by joining
the 78-voice chorus in song during its closing work.
Concerts will be held Sun., Dec. 12, 4 p.m. at United
Church of Christ, Rte. 94 at Old Dominion Rd., Blooming
Grove, N.Y. (Between Washingtonville and Chester) and
Sat., Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 33 Park
Place, Goshen.
The choral society will present three works in this concert program. “Gaudete” is a unique and contemporary setting of melodies from the 1582 “Piae Cantiones” (Holy
Songs), brilliantly arranged for the unusual mix of voices,
flute, oboe, and bassoon, by Swedish composer Anders
Ohrwall. Dr. Ron Nelson’s “The Christmas Story” is a cantata in which the use of huge sound from pipe organ, timpani, and brass choir suspends singers’ voices in the air
then lifts the listener out of his seat to meet that sound. The
composer carefully weaves the voices of a narrator (The
Rev. Skip Ferguson, Pastor First Presbyterian Church,
Washingtonville) and baritone soloist (Erich Tusch of
Chester) in and out to effectively keep the piece “grounded.” Closing the program is “A Christmas Garland” by
highly acclaimed East Coast composer, Conrad Susa, who
brings the audience into the celebration – singing, at the
invitation of the conductor, a medley of well-chosen and
well-loved carols.
Monroe resident Janiece Kohler, conductor and artistic director of Classic Choral Society, is excited about
bringing the audience directly into the performance, “We’ll
have the lyrics conveniently printed in the programs. The
carols are familiar ones, and the audience will actually be
accompanied by Classic Choral Society and Wind
Ensemble. It will be quite an experience – both venues
holding over 400 people – so the combined sounds of our
holiday music should be nothing short of amazing. This
year our audiences have the opportunity to come in as
music lovers, and to leave as music makers.
Members include, Tinie Filipowski of Greenwood
Lake; Roberta Brown, Jody Weatherstone and Griffis
Fassett of Warwick; Anne Gaylor, Eleanor Gelsomino,
Maureen Kalmbach, Evelyn Knueppel, Jennie Maney,
Elizabeth Pozo, Denise Vitale, Rosemarie Werkman,
Cynthia French Delson, Phyllis Erwin, Ruth Ann
Robinson, Arline Rodstrom, Barbara Speechley, Renee
Strauss, Jeremiah Delson, Joseph Lovett, and Bob Pollsen of
Monroe; and Don Boyer of Westtown.

New Film ‘The Corporation’ String Trio of NY Performs
to be Shown at Tuscan Café
‘A Jazzy Christmas’
Come to a showing of the new film on
“The Corporation.” Today the corporation
plays a central role in our lives, like the
Church did in medieval Europe. After the
1886 Supreme Court case, which gave the
American corporation the rights of legal
individuals, it has evolved to become the
dominant institution in our society and
around the world.
Today the model of the American corporation is more than a model for business. It is an organizing principle for society and economic globalization. It is an
embedding into the institutional and cultural contexts of a single minded quest for
monetary calculation and gain. As the film
claims, the corporation is an “externalizing
machine” that puts costs of health and
environmental impacts onto the community and local ecology and acts in ways that
meets the psychological diagnostic criteria
of a psychopath.
The film explores the history, inner
workings and controversial impacts as well
as potential futures of big corporations.
The film asks, is there a cure for the psychological pursuit of profit at any cost, or
can we only hope to apply restraints? This
film was made in Canada by Mark Achbar,
Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan. It has won
many awards throughout the world, such
as the Sundance Film Festival and the
International Documentary Film Festival
in Amsterdam.
Dr. Trent Schroyer, Professor of
Sociology/Philosophy at Ramapo College
and President of The Other Economic
Summit, an international citizens organization that focuses on the other economic
alternatives, will lead a discussion about
the film. The film will be shown at the
Tuscan Café in Warwick on Mon., Dec. 13
at 6:30 p.m. Food and wine can be purchased. The Tuscan Café is located at 5
South Street. For information visit: tuscancafe.net or call 987-2050.
‘Mooseltoe’ Performance
Rescheduled
Kings Theatre Company is presenting
the
charming
children’s
musical
“Mooseltoe, the Moosical” at the Lycian
Centre for the Performing Arts in Sugar
Loaf on Sat., Dec. 11 for two performances. The 2 p.m. performance will go on as
scheduled; however the originally scheduled 7 p.m. performance has been moved
up to 5 p.m.
This evening performance has been
rescheduled for the convenience of our
many patrons and to accommodate those
families with younger children who have
expressed an interest in attending the show.
This enchanting new musical about a
moose with a dream and his quest to fly
with Santa includes sixteen unforgettable
costumed characters.
Celebrities of
Broadway, TV and movie fame provide the
voices of Mooseltoe and his friends.
Tickets to this wonderful holiday
event are $24 for adults and $15 for youth
(18 years and younger) and can be purchased by calling the Lycian Centre Box
Office at (845) 469-2287 Tuesday through
Saturday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
On Fri., Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. and Sat.,
Dec. 18 at 2 p.m., The String Trio of New
York will continue the “Jazz Connections –
Sounds” of the City residency program
with a special holiday concert entitled “A
Jazzy Christmas” Family Music Program.
“A Jazzy Christmas” will feature traditional family Christmas music favorites
including
Irving
Berlin’s “White
Christmas,” “The Christmas Song,” “Silent
Night,” and “We Three Kings,” to name a
few. The performance will feature worldrenowned jazz musicians James Emery
(guitar), John Lindberg (bass) and Rob
Thomas (violin).
Both performances will be followed by
a reception to meet the artists. According
to Nat Hentoff, “One of Duke Ellington’s
favorite ways of bestowing praise was to
describe a player or a group as being
‘beyond category.’ The phrase befits the
String Trio of New York and, for that matter, each of its players.”
Tickets for the performances are
$20/Family (special discounted rate so the
whole family can attend!), $10/Adults and
$5/Children and Seniors. Pre-paid reservations are requested. All proceeds from
the performance will go to the Warwick
Valley Community Center, located at 11
Hamilton Avenue. For more information
or to reserve tickets call the WVCC at 845986-6422.

Chamber Music America Residency
Endowment Fund. This project is also
made possible in part with funds from

funds from the New York State Council on
the Arts, a State agency.

Grants, Awards & Other Alternative Initiatives
Allow School District to do More With Less
The Warwick Valley School District continually strives
to improve our existing academic and extracurricular programs while reducing operating expenses. Each year, our
dedicated School District staff accomplishes this goal by
looking for innovative ways to secure external funding for
various educational program enhancements and by developing strategies to save valuable budget resources.
As a result of these efforts, the School District has
received close to $500,000 in state and federal education
grant money over the past year and has reduced operating
expenses by more than $400,000 this year alone. Listed below
are some of the ongoing initiatives that are enabling the
Warwick Valley School District to better serve the students,
families and taxpayers in our community.
• Smaller Learning Institute Grant - The School
District has applied for and received two competitive federal
grants to assist us in our ongoing efforts to restructure the
learning environment at Warwick Valley High School. The
first of the two Smaller Learner Communities (SLC) awards
was a $49,500 grant to support the planning phase of our initiative to downsize our high school into smaller, more personalized learning environments. This year, the Department
of Education has provided us with a $294,000
Implementation Grant. The federal funding will be used over
the next three years to support the continued implementation of the Freshman Academy and the Sophomore Initiative
and the development of the three Junior/Senior Smaller
Learning Institutes.
• Review of Special Education State Aid Placements
– A thorough analysis of the School District’s state aid for
special education placements has resulted in a reimbursement of approximately $200,000 from the State Education
Department.
• Cost Effective Insurance Program – Participation in
a more cost effective insurance program will result in an
estimated saving of approximately $200,000 for the School
District.
• Legislative Grants for Instructional Equipment –
Thanks to the efforts of State Senator Thomas Morahan,
Warwick Valley received a $50,000 legislative instructional
equipment grant. The additional resources have enabled the
district to secure the instructional equipment needed to support our educational programs with no local tax impact.
• Middle School Music Grant – A $5,000 award from
The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation provided the funding
for the Middle School Music Department to purchase new
string instruments and to repair existing instruments.
• ExxonMobil Grant – The School District benefits
from the support of the ExxonMobil Foundation. This year
a $500 award will be used to support the new Hydroponics
component of the 7th and 8th Grade Technology Program.
• Reduction of Energy Consumption – As the result
of the District’s participation in the Energy Performance
Contracting project, the School District has invested $3 million of energy-saving equipment in our schools at no cost to
taxpayers. Recent energy improvements have included the
installation of new energy-efficient lighting, windows, electric motors, insulation window film and boiler controls in
school buildings.
• Energy Consortium – To reduce costs, our School
District formed a cooperative bid consortium along with
Districts in Orange and Rockland Counties for electricity
and fuel oil. This initiative has provided the ability to purchase large quantities of energy at competitive prices, providing the district with more control for budget planning
and a substantial cost savings.
Together, the various grants, insurance program
changes and state aid reimbursements will save our School
District taxpayers approximately $800,000, while providing
additional opportunities for our students. In addition, the
insurance and energy saving initiatives will continue to benefit taxpayers every year, particularly at this time of high
energy costs.
From our great schools to our great community, we
wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

For the Fivehouse’s Scouting is a Family Affair
By Nancy Owen
James and Richard Fivehouse received their Eagle
Scout pins from their father, Scoutmaster Thomas
Fivehouse, at a ceremony held at the Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church on Sat., Dec. 4.
The program, which was attended by approximately
15 dignitaries as well as many friends and family, honored
the two young men who joined the ranks of only 4% of
Scouts in the United States. It takes a life of scouting performance and determination to reach the top level. They
must earn 21 merit badges including twelve required ones.
As a Life Scout they serve actively in a position of
responsibility for a period of six months as well as plan,
develop and give leadership to others in a service project.
Both boys were involved in service projects that helped the
Warwick Ecumenical Food Pantry.
James, the oldest of the brothers, directed 68 volunteers
in a door-to-door collection of food. His group collected
3.25 tons of food and the food pantry shelves were full, providing food for more than 100 families in Warwick. He was
actually accepted into the Eagle scouts two years ago but
waited to be pinned at the same time as his brother.
Richard ran a personal health care and school supplies
drive as his Eagle project. He directed a crew of 67 volun-

New Insurance Offering for Weddings & Other Events
Seely & Durland, Inc. now offers WeddingSurance®,
BarMitzvahSurance®, and CelebrationSurance®, insurance
products specifically designed to protect the consumer’s
financial investment in a wedding or other special event,
provided through RV Nuccio Insurance. This insurance
package is flexible, with options available to allow clients to
customize the coverage needed for their specific events.
"The total cost of a wedding or other special event can
be substantial, all of which is at risk should something
unexpected happen," stated Coleen McAssey, Marketing
Representative. "Too often, we read stories in the newspaper about the losses that people have incurred due to the
financial difficulties of an event vendor. Today, this insurance is a necessity. And the flexibility of this program allows
the customer to include only the coverage they need."
The basic policy covers cancellation or postponement
of an event due to illness or injury to the honoree and/or
essential persons, damage to premises, wedding gown, special attire or weather that prevents honorees or the majority of guests from attending. It also covers losses due to
failure-to-show of the caterer or person engaged to perform a ceremony and closure of the ceremony site due to
financial failure. There is a $250 deductible. Premiums
start at $195 and coverage can begin up to two years prior
to the event. More details are available upon request.
Optional coverage is also available, including photographs and video, gifts, rented property, jewelry, special
attire and personal liability. "Many times, event halls or
municipalities require certificates of insurance which this
program can provide," stated Tammy Artusa, CSA
Supervisor. "Consumers should check on insurance
requirements when planning an event and can call our
agency to help meet those requirements."
Seely & Durland celebrates its 70th anniversary this
year and represents over twenty insurance companies,
offering all forms of insurance, including home, auto, high
value properties, life, business and bonds. For more information, visit Seely & Durland at www.seely-durland.com,

Soccer Banquet
Gallagher, Bobby Blaskovich and David Lloyd.
Special awards sponsored by Gatorade
were presented to Adam Lloyd, Adam
Emmerich and Patrick Akin. Akin won this
year’s Rookie of the Year award. The
Sophomore led all newcomers with three
goals, as well as outstanding technical skill.
Senior, Adam Emmerich, for the second
year in a row, won the Will-to-Win Award.
Emmerich scored five goals in a season
shortened to eight games due to mononucleosis. Adam’s desire was best exemplified in
his goal against FDR in the Sectional
Semifinals. He scored on a header as the
"keeper tried to punch the ball away, only all
he got was Adam’s head. Adam was knocked
down, with a bloody nose, but came back to
score again later in the match.
Also for the second year in a row Adam
Lloyd won the Player of the Year Award.
Adam led the team in scoring once again
with a school record 19 goals. He also had
eight assists for a school record 46-point season. Adam ends his four-year career as the
holder of five (goals in a season, goals in a
game, points in a season, points in a game,
and assists in a game) school records.
A special note was shared about this
year’s senior class. Captains Adam Lloyd,
Adam Emmerich, Patrick O’Connor and Jeff
Paulik, as well as Ryan Hallisey and Mike
Stubeck have led the Varsity the last three
seasons to some of the greatest successes in
the program’s history - two Division
Championships, an appearance in the
Section IX championship game, and this
year’s team being state-ranked all season
long with a high of eighth.
The night also included a very special
event. The formation of the Warwick Soccer
Hall of Fame was announced as well as its
first eight members. The first inductee is
Coach Tom Lorgan. Coach Lorgan coached
the Wildcats for over 20 years and was
instrumental in the program’s development
and tradition of excellence.
Chris Mirra, class of 1970, goaltender for
the Wildcats first championship team. Jim
Quackenbush, class of ’74, inspired the team to
another championship from a hospital bed in
New York City after a tragic car accident.
Returned to play when many doctors didn’t
think he’d be able to walk normally again. John
Killeen, class of ’72, first Warwick player to
come back and coach the Wildcats. He coached
the Wildcats to their first Section IX championship in 1989. Joe Melder, class of ’72, physical
goalkeeper, who helped ‘Cats to a championship with his outstanding play and saves.
Tom McGovern, class of ’74, a steady midfielder and team leader with a knack for scoring
directly off corner kicks, he is current Police
Chief of Warwick. John Smith, class of ‘73, a
three-sport athlete who played with energy played on a championship team as a reliable
midfielder. John DeFrancisco, class of ’80, fouryear starting goalkeeper, a loud, spirited leader
who excelled throughout his career - played in
the 1980 Exceptional Senior All-Star game.
It was a great evening highlighted by the
Hall of Fame inductions and the wonderful
senior class of boys and girls who are exceptional people and great soccer players. Each
senior received a beautiful plaque with a
group picture of themselves on it.
Extra Time: Adam Lloyd was selected by
the National Soccer Coaches Association of
America to NSCAA/Adidas All-East Region
Soccer team and the NSCAA/Adidas AllState third team. Adam has also verbally
committed to Rutgers University, a Division
I perennial power.

Kings Students Jump for the Beat to Go On
By Katie Bisaro
It has long been established that good physical fitness
leads to healthy hearts. At Kings Elementary School recently, students showed that physical fitness and aerobic activity not only helps their own hearts, but those whose hearts
are not so healthy.
Through a school-wide program run by the physical
education department, sponsored jointly by the New York
State Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation
and Dance (NYSAPPHERD) and the American Heart
Association, Kings students participated in "Jump Rope for
Heart." This event took place over the course of two days,
Nov. 4 and 5, during physical education classes.
Kings Physical Education teachers, Tom Folino, Terri
Lindsay and Danielle Verhaslett, promoted the program as
"a worthwhile and fun event that will help teach our children the importance of community service while raising
money for the American Heart Association." Every student
at Kings participated in the Jump Rope for Heart program;
however, approximately 160 students also solicited donations for the American Heart Association.
As a result of their efforts, over $6500 was raised.
According to the AHA, these proceeds will "benefit life saving research and educational programs." Furthermore,
based on the amount raised, the Physical Education
Department at Kings will be able to obtain gym equipment
through a collaborative program from US Games. In this
way, the kids at Kings were also able to help their own
school through their fundraising efforts and community
service.
In addition to learning jump rope skills, Jump Rope
for Heart is an educational program in which the 1, 2, 3’s
of living a heart healthy lifestyle are taught: 1. Regular exercise; 2. Eating healthy; 3. Living tobacco free. Putting all of
this together with the satisfaction of performing a community service by raising money for a good cause, the students
at Kings learned some very valuable life lessons.
The jump roping began on Thurs., Nov. 4, as each
class, during their physical education special, was set up
into teams of 3-5 students. For one minute intervals, students would continuously jump rope. At the end of their
minute, they passed the rope off to a teammate who would
then jump for their minute. This continued for the entire

How much bigger are today’s NFL players compared to
the past? Let’s just take the offensive and defensive lines of
the Pittsburgh Steelers as examples. In 1964, their starting
offensive line averaged 241 pounds. Twenty years later, in
1984, the average was 260 pounds, an increase of just 8%.
But 20 years after that, in 2004, the average was up a hefty
19% to 309 pounds. A similar picture emerged on the defensive line, where the average weight in 1964 was 255
pounds. By 1984, the average had risen by only 3% to 263
pounds. But in 2004 the average was up 16% to a beefy 305
pounds.

Call it the "pudding protest." At the start of the 2004
season, a diehard Tennessee Titans fan named Clay Travis
had taken up residence in the U.S. Virgin Islands. But much
to his chagrin, DirecTV did not broadcast NFL games to the
Caribbean. In protest, Travis, 25, vowed to eat nothing but
Hunt’s SnackPacks pudding – a reference to commissioner
Paul Tagliabue’s frequent use of the phrase "the proof is in
the pudding" – until the policy was changed. Alas, two
months later and at least 10 pounds lighter, Travis was still
waiting to see a Titans game, and still eating pudding.

With the National Hockey League shut down because of
a labor dispute, everybody associated with the game was
looking for work – players, front office personnel, and yes,
even mascots. Pity the plight of poor ThunderBug, the Tampa
Bay Lightning mascot coming off a Stanley Cup season.
What’s a ThunderBug to do? Well, in October of 2004, he
declared his candidacy for president of the United States by
pledging, "I will not lie to you, because I cannot talk."
Nevertheless, George W. Bush remained in the White House.

Kings fourth grader Gianna Scaletta was awarded the
Jump for Heart Award. Gianna, who had open-heart surgery as a small child, represents those with heart-related
illnesses that the AHA endeavors to help through
research and education.
gym period. The students were also taught how to monitor
heart rates and were encouraged to check their heart rate
following each interval.
Students in grades 4 and 5 as well as PIE 3-4 kept
track, by team, of the total number of jumps made. In a
friendly competition, each team tried to make the most
jumps for heart. Student teams jumped continuously for
about 30 minutes for the duration of their class time. The
team winners and their total jumps were:
Fourth Grade: Mrs. Shoock/Mrs. Galligan: Team #3
(1,167 jumps): Samantha Weissburg, Gianna Scaletta,
Ben Bisaro, in Mrs. Galligan's fourth grade class, jumps
rope during Phys Ed as part of the Jump Rope for Heart
program. The students at Kings participated in the twoday jump roping event raising over $6500 for the
American Heart Association.
Jessica Stokkeland, Kathryn Magnier and Ayana Blandon.
Mrs. Laroe/Mrs. Ryan: Team #7 (1,066 jumps) Ryan
Brack, Ryan Guilfoyle, Alex DeGroat, and Dylan Liguori.
PIE 3-4: Mrs. Nachtigal/Mrs. Canevari: Team #8
(1,398 jumps): Christina Ginley, Emily Mears, Sarah
Milby, Alyssa Caren, and Valerie Lobocetta.
Fifth Grade: Mrs. Boccia/Mrs. Wolckenhauer: Team
#7 (1,231 jumps): Deborah Defreese, Justine Wares, Kayla
Walters, Celeste Szymanski, and Jessica Pittinger. Ms.
Jones/Mrs. Kunath: Team #2 (1,073 jumps): Rachel
Ehrman, Gina Hendry, and Marina Havriliak.
On day one of the event, a representative from the
American Heart Association, Ms Jody McKay, was on hand
to thank the students for "getting up, getting moving and
for contributing to a good cause." During her visit, while
Mrs. Galligan’s and Mrs. Shoock’s fourth grade classes were
jumping rope, she discovered that one of their classmates,
Gianna Scaletta from Mrs. Shoock’s class, had open-heart
surgery as a young child.
Ms. McKay pointed out to the students that their
efforts on that day would help other children, like Gianna,
who need operations or treatment for heart-related illnesses. McKay then presented Gianna with a special Jump for
Heart award from the American Heart Association as the
embodiment of those whom the AHA strives to help.
The students at Kings Elementary School learned
some very valuable lessons about living heart healthy and
helping those who hearts have been affected by disease, birth
defect or not-so-healthy lifestyles. Because of their efforts
the American Heart Association can continue its valuable
work that benefits those who suffer from heart disease and
stroke through research and education. Living healthy, exercising and community service – Kings Elementary School
put it all together for a winning combination!

One minute, a miraculous recovery. The next, a diagnosis is made with the aid of
technology that wasn’t available a year ago. Meanwhile, a child is born thanks to
the availability of state-of-the-art equipment. A grandfather opens his eyes after
laser surgery and looks at his granddaughter as though it’s the very first time.
What may appear to be miracles is really the result of unflagging commitment
to our community. Our patients recently voted us #1 in patient satisfaction in a poll
conducted by Professional Research Consultants (PRC). We take pride in knowing that
we have been distinguished with 12 separate national awards for outstanding service.
There’s a spirit to St. Anthony’s that guides us every minute of every hour.
Some call it medicine. We think it’s something more.
