Hilltop Lane Pressuring Village to Address Water Woes

By Katie Bisaro
Imagine installing a brand new dishwasher and watching it sit idle in your kitchen because you don’t have sufficient water pressure to operate the new appliance. Or, trying to wash dishes at the kitchen sink and having the water
come out of the faucet in a trickle because someone else in
the house is taking a shower. Filling the washing machine
takes so long, one homeowner wryly points out, that a person could go food shopping and get back before the washer was filled. Such are situations faced daily by residents of
Hilltop Lane in the Village of Warwick due to an on-going,
26-year-old problem with water pressure.
At the Village Board meeting on February 6, residents
of Hilltop Lane vented their frustrations and addressed the
Board with their concerns regarding the continuing prob-
lems with their water pressure and seeking answers from
the Village on ways to remedy the situation.
Village Attorney, Michael Meth, met with the Orange
County Board of Health and went through files dating
back to the 1980’s that covered the history of the development including the dedication of the water mains and the
building of the water tower. There were problems back
then, but now, for reasons not fully understood by the
Board of Health or the Engineer, the problems are worse.
According to Meth, the bottom line is, “under State Law,
the Village is required to deliver a certain amount of the
pressure to the main at the curb and at this point, for whatever reason, the pressure at that main at the curb is not
meeting the state regulations.” The files indicate that the
pressure met the minimum requirement at the time it was
dedicated.
Entered As Second Class Matter
Warwick, N.Y. 10990
Publication No.666800
Meth’s review of the files revealed that, when the low
water pressure first became an issue, there were three
options presented to the Village Board on how to proceed,
based on engineering and cost factors: a larger water tower;
installation of a main pump to service all the houses; or,
individual booster pumps installed inside the houses. The
option taken at that time, in the 1980’s, was that of
installing booster pumps inside the houses of Hilltop Lane.
According to many residents who had those pumps
installed, the pumps have burned out or are no longer adequate to resolve the water pressure problem.
In Meth’s opinion, because there was no clearly
defined maintenance contract between the Village and the
homeowners with respect to the pumps, the Village hasn’t
breached any responsibility. However, Meth questioned
whether the Village should leave any repair or maintenance
issues to outside contractors as the Village water system is
involved. He explained that the Village could be looking at
enormous liability if an outside contractor tapped into the
Village water system and any problems ensued, such as
backflow or seepage, that could contaminate the entire system in the event work is not done properly. Furthermore,
the Village is obligated to bring the pressure up to the minimum required by statute and the best way to monitor the
water system is through its own engineer.
Meth commented that the Village Engineer is far better qualified to investigate and advise on this issue including the cost analysis and updating the engineering from
over 20-years-ago. In general, however, the same basic
options are in place: higher water tower; installation of a
main pump; installation (or replacement) of individual
pumps. Once the engineering analysis and cost factors are
presented, the Board can decide how to proceed.
Meth emphasized again that, after looking through the
files, he did not find any breach of responsibility on the
part of the Village and that no one can determine why the
problem has gotten worse over time. However, he points
out that “if it’s not meeting the minimum pressure at the
curb, then it’s the village’s responsibility to deliver that
minimum pressure.”
Mayor Newhard and the Board will forward the information gathered by Meth to the Village Engineer to add to
his investigation in the matter. Newhard pointed out that
while the options available to resolve the issue may be similar to those offered back in the 80’s, perhaps the technology is different and more cost effective. As the Village Board
goes into the budgetary process for the next fiscal year, it
can take the engineer’s analysis and cost factors into
account and look at it as a budgetary expense for the coming year.
Following this report, Mayor Newhard opened the
floor to comments from residents of Hilltop Lane who
were present at the meeting. In response to a question
regarding minimum water pressure, Meth pointed out that
the Village is required to provide 20 pounds of pressure to
the curb for hydrants, 35 pounds for homes. According to
Meth, the records indicate that those pressures were present when the development was built and Certificates of
Occupancy were issued. There was general skepticism
expressed among the homeowners at the meeting that
those levels were ever met by the Village despite what it said
in the files.
Hilltop Lane homeowner, Lorraine Portelli, outlined
some of the history of the problems with water pressure
since she moved in as an original owner. She explained that
once the homeowners realized the extent of the water pressure problem, they took the problem repeatedly to then
Village Mayor, Nick Papaceno. According to Portelli, the
only option offered to the homeowners at that time was to
take the individual booster pumps which have proven, over
the years, to be inadequate. She then addressed the Board
with her concerns that the Village may be looking for a
legal loophole to avoid resolving this issue. Newhard
assured her that was not the case and that he and the Board
would do their best to resolve the issue.
Former Village Mayor, Anthony Portelli, pointed out
that, based on his experience as a realtor for 20 years, the
homeowners on Hilltop Lane would be unable to sell their
homes with the water pressure the way it is today. Newhard
agreed, commenting that some homeowners expressed
reluctance to come forward with the problem fearing the
effect it would have on their property values.

WARWICK VALLEY DISPATCH, FEBRUARY 15, 2006
Town Proposes Tax Exemptions for
Fire and Ambulance Volunteers
By Scott Weber.
The Warwick Town Board will have a public hearing
on February 23 on a proposal to grant volunteer fire fighters and volunteer ambulance workers a property tax
exemption like that now granted by Orange County.
At its meeting on Thursday afternoon, February 9, the
Board set a hearing that will grant a 10 percent exemption
of the assessed value not to exceed $3000 multiplied by the
latest equalization rate.
To qualify, a property owner must be an enrolled
member of the volunteer fire department or ambulance
service; they must be primary residents in Warwick, must
reside in the town/village served by such fire department or
ambulance service.
In addiction they must be certified by the fire department or ambulance service as an enrolled member for at
least five years. Annual renewals are required except in
cases of those certified with over 20 years of service who
will be granted an exemption for life.
Following the public hearing next week, the Town
Board could at that time adopt the proposed ordinance.
After adoption, the applicant must file with the tax assessor
the RP-466-f form, the same one used to apply for the
county property exemption.
The applicant must also provide a letter from the
appropriate fire department or ambulance corps that certifies that the applicant is a member and states his/her length
of service as a member.
In another item of business last week during the brief
15-minute meeting, the Board recognized the fact that four
members of the Warwick Town Police Department have
not used any sick leave for the past five years.
They include Dispatchers, Stanley Lupinski and
Patrick Noonan as well as Sgt. John Rader and Officer
Timothy Lowry. Officer Brad Harm has served two years
without using sick leave.
For one year of service without sick leave the Board
recognized Dispatcher, L. Joseph Dumas along with Chief,
Thomas McGover; Sgt. Alton Morley, and Officers,
Michelle Kozlowski and Jason Marsh.
Deadline for Private and Parochial
School Transportation
The deadline for requesting transportation service for
the 2006-2007 school year for students living in the school
district who attend non-public schools is April 1, 2006.

The weather forecasts were frightening for Saturday
night. Television and radio broadcasts were promising a
hefty blizzard, with snow totals over 12 inches. However,
this was good news for the students of Sanfordville
Elementary.
On Saturday, February 11, the Sanfordville PTA hosted their annual Family Ski Night at Hidden Valley
Mountain in Vernon, New Jersey. The snow had already
begun to fall as the nearly 400 participants arrived at the
mountain for check in.
Students and their families were able to choose from
skiing or snowboarding with the option of having group
lessons. There was a Mexican Fiesta buffet and an all night
DJ to keep the heat up inside the lodge. Also, thanks to the
PTA, there was free snow tubing and a firepit for roasting
marshmallows.
The event was organized by Brian and Maureen
Fleming, who were on hand to make sure everything ran
smoothly, from handing out lift tickets to collecting permission slips. The freshly fallen snow was the perfect finish to a great evening.

Village Set Public Hearing for
Enviromental Ordinance
By Katie Bisaro
Mayor Michael Newhard has asked the Village
Engineer to come up with a prevention system for different
buildings in the Village, mostly businesses, that may affect
the water system through backflow. This would include the
hospital, dentists offices, funeral homes, auto repair shops,
florists, etc. that have a higher risk level of contaminating
the water system through any backflow from their businesses. Village Attorney, Michael Meth, will also review the
ordinance as recommended by the Engineer.
Newhard would also like a public hearing on the
Outdoor Furnace Ordinance which would give the
Building Inspector the authority to make sure that any
alternative heating devices are being installed properly and
used in such a way that does not harm the environment,
the neighbors or any other town infrastructure. Currently
the ban against outdoor burning (i.e. of leaves, trash, etc.)
does not cover outdoor furnaces. Newhard asked the
Village Attorney to look at the Open Burning Ordinance to
see how it corresponds to outdoor furnaces.
The public hearings on these matters will take place at
the Village Board meeting on March 6, 2006.
Motion Approvals
The following Motions were put forth and approved
on Febrary 6th. In addition to Mayor Newhard, Trustees
William Iurato and George McManus were present at the

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

Just Say ‘NO’
Editor,
Mr. Natale as a parting gift has offered us a 4.98% increase in
this years school budget. What largesse, what gall, after more than
a decade when the school taxes went through the roof.
We are 35-year residents of the village whose children went
through the school system under several austerity budgets. They
were getting a super quality education so they didn’t suffer intellectually if this sport or that activity was cancelled. They received
an excellent education in reasonably populated classrooms and
each is doing well in their lives. It was their teachers that made the
difference.
I don’t recall any senior citizens complaining when the tax bill
didn’t threaten to break their budget or cause them to sell the
homes they lived in most of their lives.
I don’t remember strong letters in the local papers from those
parents whose children continued to receive a no frills education
which is really what we owe them.
Austerity is a good thing. It forces those few parents who want
expensive extras for their children to pay the freight themselves
rather than forcing the entire community to finance the dreams of
the few. Properly directed and supported by their parents physically or intellectually gifted children with innate abilities can make it
on their own.
During the recent teacher union contracts in NYC, one of
their big complaints was that the teachers in the suburbs (our
teachers) make more money with smaller classroom loads. Since
most of their unions will not allow their members to receive salary
increases based on merit, possibly those special teachers who can
continue to maintain high educational standards despite an austerity forced higher workload should be given salary increases outside of the union negotiated wage increases.
I believe that if we continue to force austerity budgets, those
members of our community who complain the most will put pressure upon the legislators to find a better way to finance the educational system.
We all know for a fact that when the budgets are defeated,
those citizens with the money and influence and special interests
will force the school board to put it to a second vote. Lets force
those same people who have that kind of influence to contact their
legislators instead by voting no to every budget and if a second
vote is needed, let’s all vote no again.
We have the power. Let’s use it.
Tender Thoughts Passing Through
Memories of the Heart
Editor,
As members of the Warwick community, both Village and
Town, I would respectfully ask that we all pause collectively to
reflect on the threefold loss which we have recently experienced.
The five and half month period beginning last August has seen the
untimely and profoundly sad passing of three of our members –
Mrs. Jane Held on August 13, 2005, Mrs. Alice “Bunny” Rough on
January 21, 2006, and Mrs. Colly Leech, most recently, on January
28, 2006. I do believe that my humbly offered sentiments are representative of what a large number of our community are feeling.
To say that Jane, Bunny and Colly were courageous, honest,
faith-filled women is simply the beginning of the telling of their
particular and unique life stories. They all shared an unshakeable
commitment to giving of themselves in the service not only of
their families, but by extension, they put their gifts of nurturing at
the service of the community at large. Faced, as each was, with a
health challenge, their inner faith, determination and values were
galvanized like never before. Those who knew them well saw the
struggle played out daily as they lived and labored in the face of
uncertainty with abiding hope and faith.
Generationally, I am one of them. Personally I have been
seared in mind, soul and heart by their passing. My faith assures
me that we will all see one another again in a new life. In the present, I take inspiration from their having lived mightily the promise, beauty and purpose of each of their days.
In Helen Keller’s words – “What we once enjoyed and deeply
loved we can never lose for all that we love deeply becomes a part
of us.”
Jane, Bunny and Colly are never further than the most tender
thoughts that pass through the memories of the heart. And those
who knew them have been added to immeasurably and forever by
time spent together traveling the journey of life.

Hilltop Lane

Lorraine Portelli presented a packet of resident surveys to
Newhard and the Village Trustees detailing the problems with
water pressure that each homeowner is experiencing. She and
other residents present at the meeting voiced their frustration at
having to take the individual pumps all those years ago that have
since proven inadequate.The residents also maintain that the
water tower is not large enough nor high enough to meet the
water pressure needs of the homes it services.
Portelli is against the option of individual booster pumps as a
resolution to the water pressure problem. She points out that a
vicious cycle is created – the individual pumps are generally inadequate; if the Village equipment fails to maintain pressure to the
house pumps, or fails completely, then the house pumps burn out
trying to maintain a certain water pressure with no water flowing
into the system from the Village. She asked the Mayor to advise her
on ways to explore any and all options that may be available to
resolve this problem once and for all. She and the other residents
of Hilltop Lane are looking for a long-term, permanent solution
to this problem, not a simple band-aid fix.
Hilltop Lane resident, Bob Rinker, told the Mayor and Village
Board that he recently purchased and installed a new dishwasher
that he has been unable to use as it requires a minimum of 20
pounds of pressure to operate. The water pressure in his home is
less than 20 pounds. In a subsequent conversation a few days later,
Rinker also expressed his concern regarding safety – he pointed
out that the only fire hydrant servicing Hilltop Lane is at the bottom of the road; there is insufficient water pressure to put a
hydrant at the top of Hilltop Lane.
Newhard emphasized again that he believes it is the Village’s
obligation to fix the problem. He plans to approach Senator
Thomas Morahan during the next Legislative session in Albany to
discuss this issue and investigate financial grant possibilities. He is
awaiting the Engineer’s analysis and cost estimates and will present
the best options, as recommended by the Engineer, to Senator
Morahan and ask for his help. Portelli pledged her support and
faith in the Mayor that he will do his best to help the residents of
Hilltop Lane. She plans to write a letter to Morahan herself regarding this matter.
At the close of the discussion, Newhard told the residents that
he plans to have the Village Engineer, Michael Murphy, present his
findings regarding the water pressure problem on Hilltop Lane at
the next Village Board meeting on March 21st. He invited everyone
back to hear the Engineer’s report and recommendations.

Schervier Pavilion Residents
Celebrate the Chinese New Year
According to the Chinese calendar,
which predates our calendar, this is the
year 4703, or as it is more commonly
known, the “Year of the Dog.” And, according to Kelly Fedrizzi, senior recreational
therapist at Schervier Pavilion Skilled
Nursing Facility in Warwick, the Chinese
holiday was also an opportunity to schedule one of many upcoming “theme” events
for Schervier Pavilion residents.
On Tues., Jan. 31, a group of residents,
accompanied by recreational staff members, took a short trip to Marco Polo’s
Secret, a popular Chinese restaurant at 25
Elm St. in the Village of Warwick. Each resident was invited to select any or all of their
favorite dishes from the restaurant’s extensive menu. “This is wonderful,” said
Schervier Pavilion resident Winston
Williams. “I’m really enjoying this.”
Although this luncheon and all outings are intended to be pleasant excursions
away from daily routine, they have another
important value. “The purpose of recreational therapy,” said Director of
Recreation Kari Call, who is a certified
therapy recreation specialist (CTRS), “is to
restore, treat or rehabilitate in order to
improve functioning and independence as
well as reduce or eliminate the effects of illness or disability."
A group of residents from Schervier Pavilion, posing with a Chinese calendar, recently
celebrated the Chinese New Year with a luncheon at Marco Polo’s Secret, a Chinese
restaurant in Warwick. Clockwise: Winston Williams, senior recreational therapist
Kelly Fedrizzi, Bob Horton, Maryann Boching and Ann Losson.
NYS Grant Gets New Lobby
Furniture for Mt. Alverno Center
The furniture at Mount Alverno
Center, an adult residence and assisted living program located on the Warwick
Campus of the Bon Secours Health Care
System, was always comfortable. But since
it’s been replaced, the residents are saying
that they can now welcome visitors in style.
The furniture is only the beginning of
a recent face-lifting program for the facility made possible by a grant from the New
York State Department of Health. The
funding is part of the State's Quality
Incentive Program (QUIP) to support the
completion of capital improvements and
enhancement of resident services in adult
homes statewide.
Additional plans for upgrading and
improvements in the lobby area at Mount
Alverno Center include painting, window
dressing, wall artwork and even a flat
screen Plasma TV. “We not only want our
residents to be comfortable,” said Kathie
Deak, Director of Mount Alverno. “We
want them to feel at home. And everyone
has told us that they love their new furniture.”

SACH Offers Free
Blood Pressure Testing
Think of it as a Valentine’s Day gift to
the public.
February is “American Heart Month,”
and on Thurs., Feb. 9, Betty Zacharewicz,
RN and Kathleen Nolin, RN, stationed
against a background of red hearts, offered
free blood pressure testing at the Warwick
office of Provident Bank. The one-day program was jointly sponsored as a community service by Provident Bank and St.
Anthony Community Hospital.
According to the American Heart
Association, cardiovascular diseases,
including stroke, are our nation's No.1
killer. High blood pressure is a key factor
and early detection and treatment is vital.
The only way to discover if you have high
blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked periodically. Blood pressure is
measured by a quick, painless test using a
medical instrument called a sphygmomanometer.
Both Zacharewicz and Nolin are
retired Registered Nurses and to help combat heart disease, they offer blood pressure
testing in the main lobby of St. Anthony
Community Hospital on the third Friday
of each month from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The service is free and no appointment is
necessary.
On Thurs., Feb. 9, Betty Zacharewicz, RN (left rear) and Kathleen Nolin, RN, stationed
against a background of red hearts, offered free blood pressure testing for visitors and
employees at the Warwick office of Provident Bank. Provident Bank employees
Kristine Cuttino (left front), client service manager, and Carol Green, receptionist,
took advantage of the opportunity.

It Feels
Good
Village of
Florida
By Mayor Jim
Pawliczek
This article is my way of communicating with
you, the residents of the Village of Florida, on a regular basis. Any opinions expressed are strictly my
own.
Recently one of the 7th grade students at S. S.
Seward Institute, Thomas O’Daniels, had an editorial published in Teen Newsweek. As a result of the
article, the United States Military Academy at West
Point presented the school with 200 tickets for the
Men’s Basketball game vs. Lehigh University at
Christi Arena and invited the entire 7th and 8th
grade student body to attend as well. Mr. Mark
Stewart arranged for a bus to provide transportation
to the game which was held last week on Saturday,
February 11, 2006. A good time was had by all.
This past Sunday is being called the “Blizzard of
06”. That’s hard to believe if you look at Main Street
in Florida. All the snow was gone by the sidewalks,
streets, and curbs before 9 AM Monday morning.
Good job DPW!

Middle School Students Donate
Bingo Game to Mt. Alverno
First it was a pop corn machine and
now it’s Bingo! “They must think all we do
is watch movies and play games,” laughed
one senior resident.
Residents at Mt. Alverno Center’s
Adult Home and Assisted Living Program
had always had an opportunity to enjoy
their favorite movies. Early last year, to add
to that enjoyment, the Warwick Valley
Middle School Student Senate voted to
donate a professional popcorn machine
complete with 48 bags of popcorn for the
Center’s Activities Room.
This past holiday season, under the
direction of teacher/advisor Michele
Montgomery, the students again raised
money by selling candy canes. Each year
the funds are used to purchase a thoughtful gift or gifts for the residents of Mount
Alverno Center. This time the students
decided to purchase and donate an elaborate professional Bingo game.
“We are again grateful to the members
of the Warwick Valley Middle School
Student Senate for this wonderful gift,” said
Activities Coordinator Amy Steinburg.
“Bingo is a favorite activity and our residents are thrilled with this new game.”
Shortly after receiving the bingo equipment, staff members assembled the game
and everyone, including the staff, greeted it
with enthusiasm. Bingo has now become
an even more popular weekly activity at
Mount Alverno Center.

Stem
Cells
Fulfill your body’s requirements
for maintaining optimal health.
You’ve probably heard about
stem cells in the news recently. A
lot of what you’ve heard is controversial, but one thing is clear –
stem cells are a natural and essential part of the process to maintain
and support optimal organ and tissue function.
Stem cells can be thought of as
“master cells” and are found in
adult tissue. Adult stem cells are
most abundantly found in bone
marrow and are released into your
bloodstream to travel throughout
your body to be used where they
are most needed.
As you age, the number and
quality of stem cells that circulate
in your body gradually decrease,
leaving your body more susceptible to injury and other age-related
challenges. There has been a recent
breakthrough in the discovery of a
natural botanical extract that supports wellness by helping your
body maintain healthy stem cell
physiology, enhancing stem cell
production by 20-30%
information on Medicare Part D, New York
State’s Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance
Coverage (EPIC) and the Social Security
Administration’s Low Income Subsidy.
The program will be offered on Tues.,
Feb. 21, with session one at 12 noon to 1
p.m. and session two from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Why Volunteering Rocks !
On Jan. 25 , Francesca Bryson an eighth grade student in The Warwick Middle School accompanied her
mom, Dr. JoAnn Quattrone (dentist) and aunt, Dr. LuAnn
Moratto (chiropractor) on a mission to one of the poorest
countries in Central America-Guatemala.
The three traveled to the highlands of Quetzeltenango
located about five hours west of Guatemala City. There are
over twenty four indigenous tribes in the Highlands. The
people make a living selling their handmade crafts along
the streets of their villages.
In a remote village called Tierra Colorado Baja sits a
small clinic, Primeros Pasos, in English this means ‘First
Steps.’ This is a non-profit clinic, operating through volunteers, providing medical and dental treatment to the
children of this Mayan Quiche community. There are
approximately 4000 indigenous children requiring medical
and dental attention in this village. Some of the children
have a combination of health problems such as intestinal
parasites, skin diseases, malnourishment, severe dental
decay, heavy plaque and lack of proper hygiene is very common. Spinal subluxations, due to the stress of working the land
and carrying large heavy bundles of wood, crops and hand
made crafts on their heads and backs, are also common
Approximately 30-40 children are bused in each day to
be treated. The main focus of Primeros Pasos is to educate
the children in proper hygiene as well as treating their
immediate problems. The children are very friendly and
when it comes to receiving health care they are excited and
look foward to coming to this clinic.
Along with the medical and dental care Quattrone and
Moratto provided, at the end of every work day Francesca
gave out children's clothes that were donated by local residents. A special thanks to all the families that donated
clothing.
Dr. JoAnn Quattrone and Dr. LuAnn Moratto travel
together several times a year offering their professional
services around the world.
Volunteering provides an opportunity to genuinely
connect with people of a different culture and understand
their lifestyle. There is nothing more gratifying than to
serve with compassion and an open heart. To go where
very few doctors go , to give back to the people of the
world, is to know we are truly blessed.

Planning for 2nd Annual Taste of the Town
By Carol Sapanaro
St. Stephen’s 2nd Annual Taste of the Town is months
away however, event Chairpersons Mary Juliano and Karen
Pinkham have begun their prep work for this year’s
fundraiser along with participating restaurateur, Michael
DiMartino, Chef and Owner of Warwick’s Landmark Inn.
In 2005, the event’s first year, Taste of the Town attracted
nearly 1,800 patrons from around the county for tastings of
food from local restaurants and raised over $10,000 for St.
Stephen’s parish and school.
“Last year’s event was very successful, more so than we
anticipated. It took many months of planning and organizing to ensure people of all ages would have a good time –
and they did. With one year behind us, we have a number
of new ideas to make the 2006 Taste of the Town even better. We plan to include more tent space and more restaurants while organizing the tent space more effectively”,
Mary Juliano commented. “We’re really just planning on a
bigger and better event,” added Karen Pinkham. This year,
the Taste of the Town will be held on Tuesday, May 16th at
St. Stephen’s in Warwick. For interested advertisers, vendors or general information, please check St. Stephen’s
website at www.ststephen-stedward.org. Or call 845-9877235 or 845-258-2600.

Warwick Lions Club Successful
with Holiday Collections

Broadway’s Most Unique
Musical Comes to WVHS
Get ready for the arrival of Broadway’s
most unique musical! This March, the
Warwick Valley High School Drama Club
will present the Warwick premiere of the
Tony Award-winning musical, ‘The
Mystery of Edwin Drood’. Based on the
unfinished novel by Charles Dickens,
‘Drood’ played over 600 performances on
Broadway before transferring to London’s
West End.
“Drood” is a fun-filled audience participation musical. Upon their arrival, the
audience will be transported back to
Victorian-era England and to London’s
Music Hall Royale. Once there, everyone
will be treated to an energetic evening of
wonderfully colorful characters and music,
including the rousing “There You Are” and
melodious “Moonfall.” Throughout the
course of the evening, the Music Hall’s
chairman, Mr. William Cartwright, will
guide the audience through the clues
found in the story of Edwin Drood. At its
completion, it must be decided who killed
‘Drood.’ Will it be the Princess Puffer or
Reverend Crisparkle? Perhaps it is one of
the Landless twins, Rosa Bud or John
Jasper? At each and every performance, the
audience will choose the night’s detective
and murderer, giving each performance a
distinctively different ending! With 35 different possible endings, ‘Drood’ is sure to
be an enjoyable evening for everyone
“Drood” will be performed on Fri.,
March 17, at 8 p.m. and on Sat., March 18,
at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Advance tickets may be
ordered through the Drama Club’s box
office by calling 987-3050, voicemail box

and for senior citizens. Based on the
turnout for the Drama Club’s previous productions, residents are urged to call the box
office to order their tickets in advance.
Warwick Lion Joseph Alston braves the cold to ring the bell for the Salvation Army.
At its February 2nd meeting, Stuart
Durland 1st Vice President of the Warwick
Lions
Club
presented
Russell
Bartholomew, of the Salvation Army, with
a check for $2,933.71. The money was collected outside the Warwick Shoprite and
Akins Pharmacy during the holiday season. Members of the Warwick Lions Club
and the Warwick Leo Club, a youth service
organization sponsored by the Lions, stood
outside both locations, ringing the holiday
bell and successfully appealing to the generosity of Warwick’s residents.
Mr. Bartholomew is the Director of
the Salvation Army Hudson Valley West
Service Extension Office. As an eleven year
veteran of the Salvation Army, Mr.
Bartholomew is now located at The
Salvation Army Offices at 234 Van Ness
Street in Newburgh.
At the meeting, Mr. Bartholomew
thanked the Lions and described the extensive and generally unpublicized work done
by The Salvation Army in the Orange
County area. For example, in the Orange
County area the Salvation Army has spent
more than $29,000 in the last year, including the distribution of 638 toys to needy
children, 196 food baskets to needy families
and 387 holiday turkeys to families that
could not afford one.
Mr. Bartholomew specifically thanked
the Warwick Lions, acknowledging that
since 1999, the Warwick Lions have collected more than $17,000 through their annual bell ringing drive during the holiday season. In closing, Mr. Bartholomew urged the
Lions to help publicize the good work done
throughout the nation by the Salvation
Army. His sentiments were emphasized by
several stories told by Lions of strangers,
during the holiday collection, regaling
them with heartfelt and personal stories of
the Salvation Army’s generosity.
The Warwick Lions Club wishes to
thank Shoprite, Akins Pharmacy, and the
Village of Warwick for hosting the Lions
Salvation Army Kettle Campaign, and
express their appreciation to all who gave.

Greenwood Lake Couple
Invents Board Game
Edgar and Laura Agostini of
Greenwood Lake invented a specially
designed multiplayer board game called
"The Mother Ship." The object of the
space-theme game of strategy is to be the
first player to get four game pieces around
the board and into a designated ‘yellow
zone’ where ‘Mother Ship’ will be built to
rule the galaxy. As with the earth and other
planets, the game is circular in shape.
Each player receives four game pieces
of a particular color. The highest number
of the roll of the dice determines who goes
first and that individual selects a number
between one and six which is used
throughout the game as the goal for each
player to roll in order to start their advance
towards the ‘Mother Ship.’ "The Mother
Ship" is not only fun and requires a certain
strategy, it is a game which does not have
so many game pieces that one might misplace, drop or lose one, rendering the game
useless for future play.

SPORTS FANS!
I BET YOU
DIDN’T
KNOW
Brought to You By Eric Nilsestuen
How many NBA fans know the story of Bruce Bowen of
the 2004-05 champion
San Antonio Spurs? Considered the premiere defensive forward in basketball, Bowen’s road to the top was as rocky as
can be. He was undrafted out of Cal State-Fullerton in 1993,
then cut as a free agent by Miami. He spent the next four
years in the French League (with Everux and Besancon) and
the CBA (with Fort Wayne and Rockford) before finally playing an NBA game with the Heat in 1997. He then bounced
to Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Miami before landing
in San Antonio at age 30 – and becoming a star. It just goes
to show what perseverance and hard work can accomplish.
What do you give the 101-year-old woman who has
everything? Lilian Hosking of Edmonton had only one
birthday wish – to run her hands through the hair of Oilers
forward Ryan Smith. Never one to deny a fan, Smith surprised Hosking on her birthday in December of 2005 at her
assisted living home with a cake, an autographed No. 101
Oilers jersey and two brownies shaped like hockey pucks –
and yes, he let Hosking run her fingers through his hair.
Sports enthusiasts in the United States consider themselves to be the most committed fans in the world. But don’t
say that in Saudi Arabia. At the end of 2005, in anticipation
of soccer’s World Cup in the summer of 2006, Saudi Arabia’s
Education Ministry announced the postponement of all
exams during Cup play. The ministry said it did not want to
ruin the students’ enjoyment of the tournament, while also
expressing concern that their grades might suffer from
spending too much time in front of the TV.
I bet you didn’t know...that being an independent agent
means we can get the best coverage and best price from a
number of top Insurance companies...Stop in or call and see
for yourself.
