The Sun Shines for Spring Fest, A ‘Fun-Fab’ Day 

By Lon Tytell 

It was a day of fun, excitement, and amazement for 

people of all ages. The Spring Fest committee members: 

Barbara Laurence, Debbie Iurato, Maria Kosen, and Jenna 

Field worked many hours to present this very successful 

Merchant's Guild event. The rainy weather on Sat., Apr. 30, 

forced people and organizations to regroup for the event 

on Sun., May 1. At first, the weather was cold and blustery, 

but when the sun made its appearance in late morning, the 

crowd started to appear. 

With the cooperation of Carol Bartnowski, owner of 

The Inkwell, and the coordination of Barbara Laurence, 

Susie Graf, and Karuna McLaughlin, artwork by children 

and adults was beautifully displayed at the Carriage Path, 

below The Inkwell. The preschool students of The Kid's 

Clubhouse, Montessori, and Mt. Alverno, as well as students 

of Karuna McLaughlin, shared their talents. Adult 

artists, Bill Leonardi, Kristine Korman, Patrick Gannon, Susan 

Entered As Second Class Matter

Vogel-Morris, and Hope Arber, contributed their expertise. 

The Pet Show organized by Jenna Field, with the help of 

volunteers, Jason Spiegel and Kyle Andreas, attracted about 

nineteen registered animals. Hope Arber and Andrew Field 

judged pets for best costume, most exotic, best trick, and the 

cutest. Donors Dog Day Afternoon, Doggone Enterprises, 

UShampooch, Bow Wow Meow, and Northern Bear, provided 

gift certificates, treats, and prizes for the winner. 

Adults and children of the demonstration team of 

United Martial Arts Centers, performed many routines and 

forms, including self defense scenarios at the Railroad Green. 

In an awesome trampoline act called The Sky Riders, 

Ken Kovach and Sean Butler defy gravity in acrobatic feats, 

reaching 23 feet in the air. This event sponsored by WVT 

Communications, drew a large audience who were riveted 

to the antics of these talented individuals. Kovach, a World 

Guinness Record holder, flipped through hoops while on a 

trampoline. He is a three time National champion and silver 

medalist. At the end of each performance, Kovach and 

Butler handed WVT beach balls to all children present. 

For the first time at the Spring Fest, a Classic Car 

Show was held through the efforts of Marie Kosen. 

Antique cars from the '30's to the '80's, immaculately kept 

by owners, were restored and upgraded with some of the 

modern conveniences. 

Employees and children of Prudential Rand, eagerly 

found different ways to raise money to benefit Sunshine 

Kids, an organization dedicated to help children with cancer. 

Some of the employees and children dressed as characters 

from the Wizard of Oz. Samantha and Alexandria 

Whitmore sold handmade potpourri sachets, lemonade, 

and painted faces to raise extra money. A charge for a horse 

and buggy ride also helped contribute to the Sunshine Fund. 

Dance entertainment by local children and adults 

added to the day's festivities. Students of the Joan Butler 

Institute of Dance demonstrated ballet, tap, and swing 

dance numbers. The Jubilee Dancers shared their talents in 

Latin Hip Hop, Belly, and Ballroom Dancing. 

Exploring the History & Beauty of Lewis Woodlands 

The first "Land Awareness Day" on Sun., May 1, was 

described as "inspirational" by one of the participants. 

Three Master Gardeners and several people with knowledge 

of the history of the Lewis Woodlands participated in 

the two guided tours of Warwick’s "hidden" park at the end 

of Robin Brae Ave., just off Maple Ave. in the Village of 

Warwick. 

This park was the formal garden of the Fowler Estate, 

which was built in the 1880’s as one of Warwick’s many 

mansions. Residents Hope Lewis, Jean May and Mayor 

Michael Newhard can remember playing in the gardens or 

the ruins of the gardens as children. The Tour, sponsored 

by Warwick-in-Bloom and the Warwick Conservancy, pro- 

Sean Butler and Ken Kovach astound the audience with their trampoline act called "The Skyriders." 

vided both historical and woodland information. Of particular 

interest were the ruins of the earlier structures: a 

well, a bridge and the site of a few gazebos. 

For gardeners, the Tour was a delight of spring 

ephemerals, wonderful tree specimens and lots of "invasives" 

- barberry, vinca, garlic onion, and honeysuckle - 

which chase out the native plants. 

In quantity, were the "ramps" a native wild growing 

member of the onion family which is prized as a delicacy

ZBA Approves Four Variance Applications, 

Denies Two 

By Scott Webber 

On Mon., Apr. 25, the Warwick Town Zoning Board of 

Appeals (ZBA) voted down two variance applications, 

approved four others, and held off on a fifth application to 

allow time to go look at the property involved. The 0-5 

votes all involved applications to allow small subdivision 

lots, where four-acre minimums are required. 

Adjoining property owners voiced their opposition, 

declaring, "It will open the floodgates to development." 

One group hired Attorney Alan Lipman to argue why the 

code should be enforced. Usually Lipman represents applicants 

arguing why exceptions should be made to the zoning 

code requirements. 

The two applications that were voted down were those 

of Salvatore and Linda Mongelluzzo, who wanted to create 

two lots on Ackerman Road; and that of Charles H. and 

Judith A. Vealey for two lots on Iron Mountain Road in 

New Milford. They have lived there for over 50 years. 

Brenden Daly’s application for a two-lot subdivision at 

Continental Road was held over until the Board can visit 

the site. Daly wants to create a 2.8-acre lot where four acres 

are required and is seeking a variance for a side setback of 

34.3 feet where 75 feet are required for the other lot. 

Attorney Robert Krahulik was involved in the three 

applications, the two who lost and the third that was held 

over. He argued that the Vealey application should be 

approved because it would offer affordable housing in New 

Milford and contended that other adjoining lots were 

smaller than what the code requires. The applicants were 

asking for reduced lot area variances, one lot for 79,371 

square feet and lot two with 70,508 square feet where 

217,800 square feet are required. On the Vealey application 

there were four no votes and one abstention. 

On the Mongelluzzo application Krahulik took the 

jockey hollow road • warwick� ny • �� 

opposite position, this time representing the adjoining 

property owners. He warned that to allow the lot area on 

lot one to be 2.06 acres and reducing lot widths to 198 feet 

where 250 are needed "would set a precedent for extraordinary 

development." This application went down 0-5 as 

Board Member Diane Bramich noted the contradictions in 

Attorney Krahulik’s arguments. Krahulik argued favoring 

the smaller lots on the Daly application. 

In between all the legal grandstanding, the Board 

approved several other applications including that of Paul 

Canevari for property owned by Fehim Uyanik and Sevci 

Uyanik at 35 Ronald Reagan Boulevard to allow construction 

of a 26x34 foot addition to an existing building and 

allow extra parking. 

The Board also approved the application of Eileen 

Addonisio at Deer Trail South, Indian Park, Greenwood 

Lake, to allow an existing 10x8 foot shed to be located 66 

feet from the front yard line where 100 feet are required. 

Deborah Kruse at Old Dutch Hollow Road received a 

variance reducing one side setback to 20 feet where 35 feet 

are required to allow construction of a 12x16 foot addition 

to an existing single-family dwelling. 

Stephen and Jolanda Smedley of Alexander Road, 

Greenwood Lake, got variances for two front yard setbacks 

and one side setback to construct a 16x24 foot family room 

and a 12x25 foot enclosed porch to an existing single-family 

dwelling. 

Board Attorney Robert W. Fink told applicant William 

Prol that he did not need any variance from the Board permitting 

the razing of a non-conforming building and 

reconstruction of a new single-family dwelling at 209 Pine 

Island Turnpike. 

The next Zoning Board of Appeals meeting will be 

Mon., May 23 at 7:30 p.m. 

ATV Owners Want Town Zoning 

Code Changed 


On Thurs., April 28, a group of 150 residents petitioned 

the Warwick Town Board to amend the Town’s All 

Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) Law to "provide objective standards" 

about the noise regulations. 

The petition, which was offered by Tony Tanzosh of 

319 Route 17A, called upon the Town Board to "take into 

consideration the rights of ATV owners" to be able to use 

their vehicles. Tanzosh said that the way Section 155-3E 

reads the code is open to everyone’s interpretation as to 

what it means. 

Tanzosh said that he will e-mail, to the Town Board, 

his suggestions on how the code should be amended. Town 

Supervisor Michael Sweeton said it would be an amendment 

to zoning code if a change was enacted. 

The petition notes that Section 155-3E prohibits the 

operations of ATVs if it results in noise that is "disturbing 

and bothersome to adjoining property owners and those 

properties within 500 feet of any property on which an 

ATV is operated." 

The petitioners said "such language is too subjective, 

contains no objective standards to guide ATV operators or 

neighbors and appears to provide full control of the operation 

of all ATVs to the adjoining neighbors/property owners." 

In other business, the Board appointed Vincent 

Poloniak as liaison to the Town of Warwick Senior Citizens 

groups for a term of one year" to enhance communications 

and services to the senior citizens." 

Dominic DeGaetano was appointed as Town Beach 

Manager for the 2005 season at $13.50 per hour and Kerri 

Wright as Head Beach Lifeguard at $11 per hour. 

The Board established fees for the Town Beach on East 

Shore Drive at $200 for a family season and $240 for nonresidents. 

At the Greenwood Lake Public Beach the fee will 

be $125 for a family resident pass. Senior citizens will pay 

$20 for the season.

Gardeners Make Burger King ‘Floral-if-ic’ 

By Jennifer O’Connor 

"Burger King goes floral-if-ic," said Mayor Michael 

Newhard, as a pink dogwood tree was being planted in 

front of the fast food eatery on Arbor Day. A small crowd 

gathered on Oakland Ave. for the ceremony, spearheaded 

by members of the Warwick Valley Gardeners Club. 

"It’ll be a nice welcome for people going through the 

Village," said one of the Garden Club members. Digging in 

the dirt were members of the Future Farmers of America 

(FFA) and their WVHS agricultural teacher, Nancy Colgan. 

As was evident at this event, the agricultural importance 

and enthusiasm for trees are shared by many and is especially 

highlighted on Arbor Day.

WARWICK VALLEY DISPATCH, MAY 4, 2005 3 

The idea of Arbor Day originated during the 1800s 

with Julius Sterling Morton, a pioneer moving into the 

treeless plains of the Nebraska Territory. When Morton 

became secretary of the Nebraska Territory, he proposed a 

tree-planting holiday in 1872 to be called, "Arbor Day," 

offering prizes to counties and individuals for planting the 

largest number of trees that day. 

It was estimated that more than one million trees were 

planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day. The state of 

Nebraska declared Arbor Day a legal holiday in 1885 and 

selected Apr. 22, Morton’s birthday, as the date for its 

observance. Yet today, the most common date for the state 

observances is the last Friday in April. 

Warwick Valley Garden Club members Dorothy Andersen, Laurie Testa, President, Marcela Gross, Joan Nagrod, and 

Micki Lonsky and Future Farmer of America members Chris Thiessen, Dan Geoghan, Jen Specht, Jess Troxell and 

Brian Yee plant a dogwood tree in front of the Burger King on Oakland Ave.

Sun., May 8 is Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s 

Day to all our dear moms; I hope you have a wonderful 

day! 

The proposed Village Budget for the Fiscal Year 

2005/06 is available for the public. Copies are available 

through the Clerk’s Office at Village Hall. 986- 

2031. 

The Village brush pile is open the month of 

May on Sat., and Sun., from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. 

The disposal is located at the DPW garage in 

Memorial Park. This is for Village residents only – 

permits are available at Village Hall. 

Please be aware that a permit is needed to hold 

a garage sale in the Village of Warwick. 

This Friday there will be a press conference at 

Village Hall which will include Senator Thomas 

Morahan, Assemblywoman Annie Rabbit and State 

Comptroller Alan Hevesi to present the Village with 

a one million dollar check. This was a result of a 

claim filed by the Village for the environmental 

cleanup of dredged material in 2 of our reservoirs. 

The conference is at 1:15 p.m. and the public is 

invited. 

The storms came this past Saturday and caused 

Spring Fest to be postponed until Sun., which was a 

perfect, sunny, spring day! I think the scale of this 

event is just right and seems to have a local feel – 

which I think is important. The car show was great 

and the carriage rides and puppy parade all added 

to the festivities. Congratulations to the merchants 

and organizers for a job well done. 

The PTA’s Board & Bike Safety Day was cancelled 

due to weather. I believe this event will be 

rescheduled for later this month. In the meantime, 

the Village Skate Park is officially open. The park is 

now open to all, with clear rules for all who use the 

facility. The park will be monitored by officers on 

duty and the recreation dept. Please respect the 

park and you will see it get better. 

The month of May is "Poppy Month," Please 

support our veterans and donate generously.

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. 

It’s Not Just a Duck 

Editor, 

It’s finally springtime! Flowers are in bloom, trees are budding, 

and the rolling hills of Warwick are alive with the return of 

migrating birds and their songs of spring. A small pond near the 

Mount Alverno Senior Center is home to a pair of Mallard ducks, 

often seen swimming together on the pond. A friend of mine, in a 

lengthy recovery from an accident, fills her days with frequent visits 

to this pond – so frequent that she could provide the Audubon 

Society with enough observational data on the life of the Mallard 

Duck to keep a wildlife researcher busy for the next year. These 

ducks are her ducks – her friends – her sanctuary in nature. 

On a recent Monday after in late April as I drove past the 

pond, I was horrified to see my friend kneeling by the side of the 

road cradling a dead duck in her arms. She was in tears as she 

described how a motorist sped past the pond just as the duck, with 

the drake chasing behind, flew up over the road and was struck by 

a motorist’s windshield who callously continued on his way, probably 

figuring, "it’s just a duck." His only reaction as he sped away 

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

Assembly Must Take Action On 

Hit, Run & Hide Bill 

By Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt 

We often hear of instances where reckless drivers hit pedestrians 

or other motorists with their vehicles and flee the accident 

scenes, leaving victims lying on the road or inside their cars. 

In many of these tragic cases, especially where the drivers are 

intoxicated and Breathalyzer tests would be required, the punishment 

for leaving the scene is less severe than if the drivers 

remained. This legal loophole is exploited by hit-and-run drunk 

drivers, allowing them to evade stiffer sentences by using the time 

before their arrest or surrender to authorities to become sober. 

My Assembly Republican colleagues and I proposed the 

Safety First Act of 2005. This bill would increase the charge for 

leaving the scene of a fatal or serious injury auto accident from a 

Class E to a Class D felony, carrying a prison term of up to seven 

years – nearly double current potential sentences. 

Under current law, drunk drivers who stay with their victims 

at accident scenes could face longer prison sentences than those 

who flee. Our measure would also create the crime of aggravated 

driving while intoxicated for motorists with excessively high 

blood-alcohol content and repeat offenders.

was to turn on his windshield wipers to brush off any pesky feathers 

that may have inconvenienced his drive up Pine Island 

Turnpike. My friend was shattered. Not only over the death of one 

of her ducks, but as she cried she asked me how anyone could be 

so cold and uncaring. I had no answer for her. Accidents do happen, 

but this motorist had no regard for the wildlife that he just 

destroyed, or the woman in his rear view mirror that ran into the 

street to rescue the injured duck. 

We move to the country to escape from the hustle bustle of 

city life, only to hustle bustle our way around these beautiful hills 

causing damage to the wildlife that lives here. Just this winter I 

found a deer on my property that was so badly injured from a 

speeding car that it dragged itself off the road on only its front legs. 

Its hind legs were shattered. 

In answer to my friend’s question, I could only hope that those 

who have no regard for the beauty of Warwick or its wildlife 

inhabitants will eventually migrate back to the city where speeding 

through city streets will damage only another car and not our 

innocent wildlife. 

SUE WALSH 

run legislation has not been allowed to come to the floor for a vote 

by Assembly majority Democrats, although similar bills have 

passed the state Senate. 

I believe it’s high time we act on this crucial legislation to preserve 

the rights of innocent victims and their families. For families 

who have lost loved ones in this senseless manner, the punishment 

these criminals receive could never be adequate. However, we can 

ensure that our laws hold reckless drivers accountable for their 

actions. 

Mammography Screening 

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’m urging women 

across New York to get yearly mammograms and breast exams by 

their doctors as a way to mark the Sun., May 8 event. Early detection 

is the best defense we have against breast cancer. When discovered 

early, a large percentage of women and men survive this

Warwick Meals on Wheels Honors Carlton Evans 

At the recent Meals on Wheels volunteer recognition 

luncheon, Carlton Evans was honored for his twenty years 

of dedication and service. Carl served as Treasurer of the 

Warwick Meals on Wheels Board from 1985 to 2004, and as 

the Board Chairman for many of those same years. During 

his tenure, Carl oversaw the incorporation of Meals on 

Wheels and handled service contracts, legal issues, financial 

decisions, and grant applications. He was instrumental 

in the production of the video "Any Volunteers?" a combined 

effort of Meals on Wheels, the Orange County Office 

of Aging, and a grant from Phillip Morris. Jane Gareiss, 

Board Chairman, noted that Carl’s years of service laid the 

groundwork for the entire Meals on Wheels program and 

will enable it to continue serving the residents of Warwick 

in the years to come. 

The Meals on Wheels Board presented an engraved 

sterling picture frame to Carl in recognition and appreciation 

of his service. Rev. Kenneth Susskraut, President of the 

Warwick Valley Ecumenical Council, spoke of Carl’s work 

in providing food for those in need, citing the scripture of 

Christ feeding the multitude with the help of his disciples. 

He presented Carl with a basket, symbolizing the fishes and 

loaves. 

Meals on Wheels of Warwick, a program of the 

Warwick Valley Ecumenical Council, began in 1975. Its 

mission is to provide and deliver nutritious meals to people 

within a reasonable distance of the Village of Warwick 

who are temporarily or permanently unable to provide 

their own meals. No one is denied this service because of 

race, creed, gender, or ability to pay. In the past year, nearly 

a hundred volunteers delivered 12,000 plus meals to 74 

clients. The program enables the elderly to remain in their 

homes; it helps people returning home following illness 

and surgery; and it comforts distant family to know that 

each weekday a volunteer visits their loved one. 

Jane Gareiss recognized the extra efforts of many volunteers. 

The six captains who are responsible for scheduling 

and overseeing the daily deliveries include Mary Neal 

and Don McFarland, Susie Graf, Kate Lacalamita, Kathy 

Supek, and Shelly Meisler. The 2005 Board members 

Warwick Meals on Wheels Board of Directors from left – Julie Farrell, Kathy Supek, Phil Nye, Jan Evans, Carl Evans, 

Jane Gareiss, Stephen Hoverman and Rev. Ken Susskraut. 

include Rev. David Peterson, Janice Evans, Phillip Nye, Julie 

Farrell, Kathy Supek, Shelly Meisler, Dr. Stephen 

Hoverman, Michael Narcisco, Rev. Kenneth Susskraut, and 

honorary director Carlton Evans. Attorney Douglas Stage 

and accountant Lou Brescia volunteer their professional 

services. In addition, Meals on Wheels of Warwick has 

received financial assistance from Warwick Savings 

Foundation and Warwick Valley Telephone Company. The 

Exxon Mobil retiree program has provided two grants, 

each the result of 40 hours volunteered by Lawrence and 

Kathleen Degnan. 

Anyone wishing to become a Meals on Wheels volunteer 

should call April Ginley, Volunteer Coordinator at 986- 

4713.

Cub Scout Pack 44 Wants You! 

Florida Cub Scout Pack 44, operated by American 

Legion Post 1250, invites parents and their son to become

families accomplish worthy goals while building and 

strengthening relationships within the family. 

Applications to join Cub Scouts may be picked up at 

the Florida Public Library or at the Cub Scout Sign-up 

Station, to be held, in the lobby of Golden Hill Elementary

marching in the Memorial Day Parade, the Advancement

Aerodrome in August. 

Cub Scouting combines fun with educational activities 

and lifelong values. It helps parents to help their boys 

strengthen character by learning about ideals like honesty, 

bravery and respect. These values help boys make constructive 

decisions throughout their lifetimes and give 

them the confidence they need to grow and develop. 

Pack 44 of Florida always welcomes new Scouts. These boys from Den 7 are pictured with Doris Wright, Master 

Gardener, who ran a Junior Master Gardeners program for the boys. They learned about good and bad bugs, composting, 

and about the benefits of gardening without pesticides. 

Volunteering for A Good Cause 

The following was written by a young girl who volunteers 

her time at Winslow Therapeutic Center in Warwick: 

“My name is Amber Fury. I am a volunteer at Winslow 

Therapeutic Center on Saturdays. I am 13 years old and I 

enjoy coming here. I get to work with horses all day and my 

favorite horse is Diamond. At Winslow, you learn about 

horses and new things about them. You learn some riding tips 

too! Working as a volunteer is fun. You get to lead, side-walk, 

groom and many other things. The staff, instructors, and volunteers 

are all very nice and if you need help, people will help 

you. Like I said before, being a volunteer is fun and rewarding.” 

Winslow Therapeutic Center provides Therapeutic 

Riding and Hippotherapy to children and adults with special 

needs. The Center offers a wide range of programs 

including those designed for people who have autism. 

Winslow is always in need of volunteers. For more information, 

contact Jaime Phillips at 986-6686.

Remembering Betty Wright 


By Anne Ruskiewicz 

Each spring at this time on the anniversary of her 

death, we remember with special poignancy our great editor, 

inspiration and friend – Betty Jane Wright. 

The Warwick Valley Dispatch was founded by her 

grandfather, George B. Ketchum in 1885. He was succeeded 

first by his daughter Florence Ketchum and then by his 

granddaughter Betty Jane Banes Wright in 1945. 

Betty was actively involved in the community and 

Citizen of the Year in 1996. In her later years, she was a 

familiar figure walking regally down Main Street on business. 

It took a combination of serious illnesses to drag her 

away from her post in 1996, but even then, bedridden upstairs, 

her intelligence, experience and unflagging interest 

were the guiding force of the paper. At the time of her 

death, The Dispatch wrote: "On one hand so much of Betty 

Wright remains with us that it seems silly to grieve. On the 

other hand, our loss is so deep, so irreplaceable, that we are 

forever bereft." The words are as true now as they were 

then. 

Betty Jane Wright 

Warwick Savings Foundation 

Donates $40,000 to SACH 

R. Michael Kennedy and Robert N. Smith, 

members of the Board of Directors of the Warwick 

Savings Foundation, recently presented a check for 

$40,000 to St. Anthony Community Hospital 

(SACH). Leah Cerkvenik, Executive Vice 

President/Administrator of the hospital accepted the 

generous donation. 

A portion of the donation, $10,000, was for the 

Warwick Savings Foundation’s Platinum 

Sponsorship of the recent Annual Spring Ball. The 

successful event, which was held Apr. 9, raised 

$112,000. Another $10,000 was for the Foundation’s 

Platinum Sponsorship of the upcoming Annual Golf 

Classic. This popular event is scheduled for Sept. 12. 

The remaining $20,000 is to be used for the planned 

renovation and modernization of the hospital. 

The Warwick Savings Foundation was formed 

in 1997 by Warwick Community Bancorp, Inc., a 

holding company organized in connection with the 

mutual-to-stock conversion, at that time, of The 

Warwick Savings Bank. The Board of Directors of 

the Foundation considers requests for grants from 

eligible organizations committed to using the funds 

in the local area. The Board funds those projects or 

organizations which can demonstrate an ability to 

deliver services and benefits which meet the needs of the 

community.

By Zann Hart 

Every so often I pull out a dog-eared and slightly yellowed 

article that sits beneath the papers in my right hand 

desk drawer. 

A dear friend found it in Reader’s Digest and passed it on 

to me shortly after I gave birth to my first son. 

For almost 18 years, that article has been tucked away – 

waiting for me to find it from time to time and remind me 

that motherhood is for life, filled with heartache and hope, 

laughter and lunacy. It has been perhaps two or three years 

since I pulled that article out again from under the file folder 

marked "Office Stationery." It had made it safely all of the 

2500 miles from Dallas to Warwick this fall. It had weathered 

several other moves before it, up and down stairs, and across 

town. 

It never fails. I can’t read it without tears burning in my 

eyes. More than anything I’ve ever read, it captures with a 

bitter sweetness the meaning of being "mom," "ma," 

"madre," and "mommy" –depending on the day - to two 

boys, now 15 and 18 

It seems like yesterday when I first read that article 

–when Sesame Street not Starbucks started my day. I could 

relate perfectly to the woman in the article. But I could never 

imagine…nor ever be prepared - for the awesome journey 

that lay ahead of me…one that required combat boots and an 

armadillo hide, not de rigueur black suits and three-inch 

heels, to survive! 

This Mother’s Day, with the permission of the author, 

Dale Hanson Bourke, I offer a reprint of the article as a tribute 

to all mothers, new and old, who know what it means to 

hold the noble life long title of "Mother." 

Motherhood Changes Your Life … 

but Not the Way You Think 

What Motherhood Really Means 

By Dale Hanson Bourke, from "Everyday Miracles" 

Time is running out for my friend. While we are sitting 

at lunch, she casually mentions that she and her husband 

are thinking of "starting a family." What she means is 

that her biological clock has begun its countdown, and she 

is being forced to consider the prospect of motherhood. 

"We’re taking a survey," she says, half joking. "Do you 

think I should have a baby?" 

"It will change your life," I say, carefully, keeping my 

tone neutral. 

"I know," she says. "No more sleeping in on Saturdays, 

no more spontaneous vacations…" 

But that is not what I mean to tell her. I try to decide 

what to tell her. 

I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth 

classes: that the physical wounds of childbearing heal, 

but that becoming a mother will leave an emotional wound 

so raw that she will be forever vulnerable. I consider warning 

her that she will never read a newspaper again without 

asking, "What if that had been my child?" That every plane 

crash, every fire will haunt her. That when she sees pictures 

of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be 

worse than watching your child die. 

I look at her manicured nails and stylish suit and think 

that no matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother 

will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting 

her cub. That an urgent call of "Mom"! will cause her to 

drop her best crystal without a moment’s hesitation. 

I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years 

she has invested in her career, she will be professionally 

derailed by motherhood. She might arrange for child care, 

but one day she will be going into an important business 

meeting, and she will think about her baby’s sweet smell. 

She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from 

running home, just to make sure her child is all right. 

I want my friend to know that everyday decisions will 

no longer be routine. That a 5 year-old boy’s desire to go 

to the men’s room rather than the women’s at a restaurant 

will become a major dilemma. That issues of independence 

and gender identity will be weighed against the 

prospect that a child molester may be lurking in the rest 

room. However decisive she may be at the office, she will 

second-guess herself constantly as a mother. 

Looking at my attractive friend, I want to assure her 

that eventually she will shed the pounds of pregnancy, but 

she will never feel the same about herself. That her life, 

now so important, will be of less value to her once she has 

a child. That she would give it up in a moment to save her 

offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years – not 

to accomplish her own dreams, but to watch her child 

accomplish his. 

My friend’s relationship with her husband will 

change, but not in the way she thinks. I wish she could 

understand how much more you can love a man who is 

always careful to powder the baby or who never hesitates 

to play with his son or daughter. I think she should know 

that she will fall in love with her husband again for reasons 

she would now find very unromantic. 

I want to describe to my friend the exhilaration of 

seeing your child learn to hit a baseball. I want to capture 

for her the belly laugh of a baby who is touching the soft 

fur of a dog for the first time. I want her to taste the joy 

that is so real it hurts. 

My friend’s quizzical look makes me realize that tears 

have formed in my eyes. 

"You’ll never regret it," I say finally. 

Then, squeezing my friend’s hand, I offer a prayer for 

her and me and all of the mere mortal women who stumble 

their way into this holiest of callings.

A Little Bit of Texas, Comes to Pine Island 

By Jennifer O’Connor 

With a slow “Texas-drawl” and clad in cowboy hats, 

while wearing mixed styles of leather jackets, T-shirts and 

denim jeans, Texan farmers took to the Black Dirt region of 

Pine Island, as part of the Texas Agricultural Lifetime 

Leadership (TALL) program. Being accustomed to barbecue-style 

boar roasts in their home state, the group dug 

into a Polish meal of kielbasa with sauerkraut, pierogis, and 

galombki at the W. Rogowski Farm. 

But before they had a taste of Poland, Cheryl Rogowski 

introduced, the group to, some of the women – immigrants, 

from Puebla, Mexico - who work on her farm. “I’m 

glad that my girls joined us today,” she said. “They are a little 

timid, but without them - this place would not happen.” 

During the luncheon, the Texan guests mixed-in well 

with the cream of Warwick’s crop, including - local farmers, 

Virginia Martin, Al Buckbee, Diana Lupinski, Marie 

Pillmeier, Russell Kowal, and Paul Ruszkiewicz, as well as 

Linda Glohs, the Executive Director of the Warwick Valley 

Chamber of Commerce; Seymour Gordon, PDR; John 

Buckley, Assistant Principal at Warwick Valley High School 

(WVHS); Nancy Colgan, WVHS Agricultural teacher and 

two of her Future Farmers of America (FFA) students. 

The students - America’s future farmers, listened 

attentively to the agricultural experiences of those in the 

TALL program, gaining invaluable insight to the business 

as a whole. This year, TALL, joined forces with its “sister” 

program – LEAD, New York, an extension of Cornell 

University. 

About two months ago, Paul Ruszkiewicz and Cheryl 

Rogowski, recent graduates of the LEAD, NY program, 

toured farms in South Texas and parts of Mexico. “The 

Texas programs really helped us out,” said Larry Van De 

Valk, Director of the LEAD, NY Program. “When Texas 

came to New York, we welcomed them.” 

Both of these two-year leadership programs have the 

same goals - developing participants leadership skills such 

as public speaking; learning about the policy process and 

understanding how the local, state and federal government 

works, as well as how to influence that process; and help 

those in the agricultural community to acquire a greater appreciation 

of how agriculture interacts with society as a whole. 

In past programs, the TALL group did not tour New 

York State. As in the case this year, the TALL group would 

go to New York City to get a feel for the metropolitan influence 

and the financial markets. Van De Valk convinced Dr. 

Jim Mazurkiewicz, the TALL Director, that he needed to 

“get outside of Manhattan, to get a greater picture of New 

York agriculture.” 

Dr. Mazurkiewicz couldn’t have agreed more. “NYC is 

a wonderful place of many cultures and people. It’s the 

financial capital of the world,” said Mazurkiewicz. “And I 

realize that. And I appreciate it and respect that. But they 

(the participants) also need to realize that NYS is a large 

state within itself. There’s a lot of agriculture here – it’s a 

large dairy state and fruit and vegetable state.” 

And, that’s an understatement! After all, farming is a 

3.7 billion-dollar industry in New York State. “A lot of peo-

ple in agriculture are really good at what they do,” said Van 

De Valk, “but they only know a specific part of agriculture. 

By giving them a wide variety of issues to look at - this 

gives them a better handle on the whole system. Many 

people feel that this program is a life changing experience 

– it opens their eyes to other opportunities.” 

Eyes certainly were opened and the crowd burst into 

laughter as Jeff Camp of Wellington, TX said, “Our soil is 

as white as yours is black and as poor as yours is rich.” 

Camp is the owner and operator of Camp Farms, a producer 

of cotton, peanuts, sorghum, small grains, and cattle. 

Danny Sosebee, who grew-up in South Texas said, it’s 

interesting to see how agriculture functions in a different 

area like this (Pine Island). He added, “The challenges they 

have to face are just like ours, but in different climates. 

They (Farmers in NYS) have to meet against a small market 

window, not like - California and Texas.” 

Dr. Mazurkiewicz spoke about some of the major 

challenges the industry faces as a whole. “We’ve enjoyed a 

‘cheap food policy’ since Roosevelt, with about 10% of our 

disposal income being spent on food in the United States. 

Whereas, in other countries like Mexico they spend 33% 

and I think in Japan they probably spend about 40 to 50 

%,” said Mazurkiewicz. “So we enjoyed that ‘cheap food 

policy’ through subsidizing. But it doesn’t really subsidize 

the farmer – it subsidizes the consumer.” 

“And it’s a message that we need to get out there,” he 

added, “that if you don’t want the program then be willing 

to pay more for food, just like we have to pay double for 

gasoline today than we did years ago. I see that as a trend 

here. The cost of production is escalating in the United 

States.” 

He also said that regulation, labor and laws are encompassing 

a “way-of-life,” in the ability to produce the ‘cheap 

food supply.’ Consumers will either want to continue that 

policy or it will be moved to South America, China, Russia 

and other places of the world. “And we’ll import food and 

fiber just like we do gasoline. And we’ll pay the price for 

it,” added Mazurkiewicz. 

As the group walked onto the soft soil of one of the 

Rogowski fields, Cheryl Rogowski said, “We (the LEAD NY 

group) were at a ranch in Texas that was 17,000 acres. The 

entire Black Dirt region is 14,000 acres. So one of your 

ranches is bigger than our entire area.” She then laughed 

and said, “You sneeze and we’re gone.” 

Yet, after weathering recent floodwaters and the many 

obstacles of farming, the Rogowski Farm and other local 

farmers are still standing tall. Other than the Rogowski 

Farm, the Texas group visited the Ruszkiewicz Onion 

Farm, Leonard DeBuck’s Sod Farm, Bellvale Dairy Farms 

and Harley Matsil’s Wheat Grass Entrepreneurship and 

Marketing.

will be a special guest appearance by dancers Dañamaria 

(Martin) Welch and Wendy Ann Powell. Next year, this 

dance will be toured in performances for seniors, and other 

venues in the community, and beyond. 

The Saturday morning performance on May 7 at 11 


a.m. will be a technical demonstration, and presentation of 

the dance in a "Work in Progress" format. Technically, it is 

a dress rehearsal open to the public; designed to delight 

children of all ages. There will be a discussion on the creative

Spring into Color at Galleria Nuova 

A new round of artists, are being featured at Galleria 

Nuova: The New Gallery of Fine Art, from now until May 

30. The show, "Spring Color," is a celebration of the 

months to come with selected works that focus on the 

naked beauty of color being reborn and the return to pink 

sunsets, warm green winds and blood red roses that 

accompany the reemergence of the season. 

Yet these colors are not limited to the show’s landscapes 

that are also being displayed - from Rob Doran’s 

glittered, gilded gold collage work entitled "Our Lady of the 

Sunflowers" to Brent Sanders’ energetic outlines and exuberant 

colors in "Cabool Storm." These works all leap out 

of the frames. 

As for the artists themselves, Galleria Nuova is continuing 

with its motto of high standards. The gallery will host 

only the best of the best. Peter Krobath, the gallery’s most 

demanded artist, will have ample space devoted to his 

photo-realistic oils and watercolors. 

The new artists include: 

Brent Sanders, an oil painter from Tennessee, whose 

works scream with color and energy as the ink outlines of 

his subjects bounce off one another. He is a very well 

known artist in the South, and his works have been featured 

in galleries throughout the country. 

Rob Doran, a collage artist who uses everything from 

old door frames and car paint to nail polish and gilded gold 

to make his statements. His work finds a way of bringing 

together the worlds of religion, philosophy, music and 

mathematics in a style that is decidedly his own. Rob’s 

work is spreading quickly; after this show, his work will be 

displayed in Chicago and in Florida. 

Liron Sissman is a well established painter whose 

work bridges the gap between florals and human emotions. 

By portraying emotions using faceless metaphors, she 

invites viewers to become active observers. Her work is 

exhibited throughout the U.S., Israel, and many corporate 

and private collections. 

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mon., Wed., 

Thurs., and Sun., from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Gallery is 

closed on Tues., Fri., and Sat. For more information, email 

art@gallerianuova.com, or call 987-2044. Pieces may also 

be ordered by phone or at the web site, www.gallerianuova.com.

Pagano, and Linda Barboni.

High School Students ‘Job Shadow’ Warwick Businesses 

Businesses throughout the Town of Warwick participated 

in a Job Shadowing Program, sponsored by the 

Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce in conjunction 

with the Warwick Valley School District and the Warwick 

Valley Rotary. Students are given the opportunity to "shadow" 

someone working in a business or profession that the 

student may be considering as a career. 

Among the many businesses and organizations that 

opened their doors to students were The Warwick Valley 

Dispatch, St. Anthony Community Hospital and WVT 

Communications. The Dispatch welcomed two students – 

Talisa Vega and Chase Class - on their production day, to 

experience the process of laying-out and putting-out its 

120-year-old newspaper, which is printed in the Village of 

Warwick. 

Down the street from The Dispatch, WVT 

Communication hosted six high school sophomores. At a 

breakfast get-together, the students were welcomed by 

WVT President Herb Gareiss and WVT Vice President 

Participating in the Job Shadowing Program at WVT Communication are: (front) Jean 

Beattie, Pat Akin (student), Adam Emmerich (student), Seth Plesang (student), Liz 

Neaverth (student), Keith Scarzafava; (second row) Seth Dale (student), Ryan Schmid,

President of the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce. 

Following an overall tour of the company, the students 

spent several hours with WVT’s Digital TV, Directory 

Services, Engineering, and Marketing departments. 

Not far from WVT Communication, high school seniors 

Meghann Doyle, Diana Lopez and Jackie Young were 

at St. Anthony Community Hospital (SACH) learning 

about a career in nursing. The students changed into 

scrubs, the sanitary garments worn in the operating room, 

and much to their mutual excitement, they had received 

authorization to witness an actual eye operation performed 

by Mandes Kates, MD, PhD, an ophthalmologist 

and surgeon with the Warwick Eye Center. "That was cool," 

they all chimed as they left the operating room. 

The remainder of the job-shadowing schedule included 

another visit to the operating room along with an observation 

period in the emergency room, the Intensive Care 

unit and the Medical Surgical unit. "Before they leave, we’ll 

tive artistic backgrounds. The opening and 

reception are free and open to the public. 

Refreshments will be available and the 

artists will be on hand to discuss their 

work. 

Pisces Passions is located at 6 Romers

in the Sugar Loaf Art & Crafts Village. For

give them employment applications," quipped Yvonne 

Capone, Human Resources Manage and Associate Director 

of Volunteer Services, who explained that the nationwide 

shortage of nurses makes nursing an excellent choice for a 

career. But she also advised them to keep up their grades 

and to be prepared for years of study and hard work. 

"The cooperation we received from the community 

was great," said John Buckley, Assistant Principal at WVHS. 

"Our Job Shadowing Program is a wonderful experience 

for every student and we are thankful to every business, 

organization and other facilities, such as SACH, that welcomed 

them." Buckley directed this year’s Job Shadowing 

Program. Pam Arace, Chair of the Job Shadowing 

Committee, also directed the program. 

"Over 100 employers in the Town welcomed the kids," 

said Linda Glohs, Executive Director of Warwick Chamber 

of Commerce. "Everyone did a terrific job!"

still stand after more than fifty years. Currently 7,000 geraniums, 

3,000 hanging plants of various flowers, 1,500 New Guinea impatiens, 

1,500 tuberous begonias, as well as a huge selection of a full

thousand flats of annuals. 

Since 1986, Steve has grown about 15,000 poinsettias. Ten 

varieties, including: the ever popular Winter Rose and the Plum 

Purple, add a colorful appearance to this wonderful place. The 

Plum Purple is the first true purple poinsettia. 

Forty-four acres of onions enhance diversity of this wholesale 

and retail business.

For Local Massage Therapist, Using Pure 

Essential Oils is a Must 

Connie Wehmeyer, licensed Massage Therapist, clinically 

certified Aromatherapy Practitioner, and owner of 

Subtle Energies Holistic Health Center spoke at the NYS 

Massage Convention in Corning, NY. Wehmeyer taught a 

nine hour course (for continuing education units) on 

"Using Aromatherapy in Your Massage Practice" and 

"Aromatherapy First Aid." 

"My goal at this convention was to help other massage 

therapists learn how to use true aromatherapy in their 

practice – using the correct pure essential oils combined 

properly and in a proper carrier," said Wehmeyer. "Using 

true aromatherapy in their practice will help all massage 

therapists help their clients more effectively, thereby 

enhancing the massage profession." 

When asked why she felt this was important, Ms. 

Wehmeyer cited that the synthetic products "called" aromatherapy 

often cause severe allergies. Also, she continued 

explaining that some firms are more interested in selling 

the products rather than training people to be true aromatherapists. 

"This can potentially lead to problems for the client," 

she said. "I hope and strongly feel my presentation at the 

convention will help massage therapists better understand 

this beautiful science and art so they can recognize the 

need for correct training when using aromatherapy in their 

practice." 

Ms. Wehmeyer has nine years and over 800 hours of 

aromatherapy training. She is the author of 

"Aromatherapy and the 5 Elements." For more information 

call Connie Wehmeyer at Subtle Energies, -469-7162.

Bringing the Tropical Rain Forest To Warwick 

By Lisa Rice 

On Thurs., Apr. 14, third grade students in Maryann 

Leigh’s class at Sanfordville Elementary School performed 

a play about the Tropical Rain Forest for fellow students, 

teachers and parents. 

Following weeks of studying Brazil, the play consisted 

of two short "stories." The first, "Here is the Tropical 

Rainforest," introduced many different animals in the 

Brazilian Rain Forest, including tree frogs, peccaries, sloth, 

jaguar, monkeys, tree boa, eagles, macaws, toucan and 


cock-on-rock. In the second story, "The Great Kapok 

Tree," animals of the rainforest "speak" to a sleeping logger 

about the importance of the tree to their habitat and the 

world. In the end, a native boy asks the logger to see them 

with new eyes. 

Between the two stories, the class gave interesting facts 

about Brazil and the Rainforest. The children held two 

performances, each lasted 30 minutes. Colorful masks 

were made in class by the children. Donna Cosner, a parent, 

and her sister, Diane Stadtmiller, designed and painted 

striking background sets for the show. 

3rd grade students in Maryann Leigh's class at Sanfordville Elementary performed a play about the Tropical Rain Forest. 

A Community Message From 

The Superintendent of Schools 

WV Central School District 

By Dr. Joseph L. Natale 

www.warwickvalleyschools.com 

WVCSD State of the 2005-06 

School Budget 

On Apr. 11, 2005, the Warwick Valley Central School District 

Board of Education voted to adopt the Proposed 2005-06 

School Budget. The annual School District Budget is the key 

component in the District’s planning for its educational programs 

for 2005-06 and beyond. In constructing the budget, 

great care is taken to provide for educational excellence and an 

affordable spending plan. The Board, in adopting the budget 

as trustee for the people, is acting on its legal responsibility for 

the people of the state to ensure a budget adequate to carry 

out its policies and the laws and regulations of the state. The 

budget that will be presented to the voters has been carefully 

constructed to provide for consistent improvement in academic 

performance. 

Tightening Our Belts 

The District has pursued various initiatives to save tax dollars 

for operating our school district for 2005-06: 

• Excellent bond refinancing rating resulted in an overall taxpayer 

savings of $2 million over the life of the bond (18 years) 

and $112,447 in the 2005-06 budget 

• Review of Special Education state aid placements resulted in 

additional revenue of approximately $200,000 

• New district insurance program for additional savings of 

approximately $200,000 

• Development of Automated District Substitute Staff Calling 

System for savings of $6,000 per year. 

• $294,127 Federal Grant for Smaller Learning Communities 

and $50,000 Special Legislative Grant 

• Elimination of one elementary and one Middle School 

teaching positions for a savings of $174,636 including benefits 

• Self-insured Workers’ Compensation Program with Orange 

County School Districts (1992-present) for a savings of 

$348,243 

• Self-insured Health Insurance Program with Orange County 

School Districts (1983-present) for a savings of $5.8 million 

• Cooperative Bid with districts throughout Orange and 

Rockland Counties for electricity with an estimated savings of 

$90,000 

• Cooperative Bidding for various supplies and materials with 

districts throughout Orange County for an estimated savings 

of 20% to 50% 

• $3 million of building alterations and modifications for 

energy savings throughout all future years at no cost to the 

taxpayer 

• Reduction of $170,000 annual electrical costs from this year 

and avoidance of any more increase due to district Energy 

Performance contracting 

The Educational Side of Our Enterprise 

• Low class sizes (K-5) 

• Four out of five graduates pursue higher education 

• All-County and New State Student Music Awards 

• Middle School teacher received 2005 Mr. Holland's Opus 

Foundation Award 

• Grade 5 Instrumental/Strings Program 

• AP Courses and Academic Support Services in Math, 

Science, English, Social Studies, Foreign Language

(16 Districts) 

• Middle School State Education Department designation as a 

State Support School 

• Elementary School Grade 4 Math Results #1 in Orange 

County (16 Districts) 

Financial Issues Impacting the School District’s 2005-06 Budget 

• 11% increase in health insurance costs 

• Increases in retirement and health insurance costs of $1.2 million 

• Increased costs for fuel oil and gasoline of $495,146 

• Increased costs in Special Education services $1,208,999 

• Increased High School enrollment 

What Happens if the Budget is Defeated? 

State-imposed budget restrictions for a failed budget could 

result in cuts estimated from $750,000 to $1,500,000 with 

taxes still increasing significantly. A defeated budget could 

mean possible cuts in the following areas, as well as other 

areas or reduction: 

Elimination of…. 

• full-day Kindergarten 

• athletic teams 

• instructional and other staff positions 

• clubs, intramurals and field trips 

• activity bus runs 

Reductions in…. 

• cocurricular activities

budget with full academic, extracurricular/athletic programs 

for a house valued at $250,000 is: $9/month

Housing Programs for Low to Moderate Income Families 

The public is invited to an open house at the United 

States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural 

Development Middletown Office on Mon., May 16 and 

Tues., May 17 from 2 p.m. – 7 p.m. People are encouraged 

to attend to learn about USDA Rural Development’s 

Housing Programs for very-low to moderate income families 

and individuals and to fill out pre-qualification applications 

for low-interest home mortgages. The Middletown 

office services Orange, Sullivan, Ulster, Greene, Dutchess, 

Westchester, and Putnam Counties. 

Those attending the open house will have the opportunity 

to receive information about USDA Rural 

Development’s programs, including Single Family Home

Interest Rate Reduced 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural 

Development announces a decrease in the home mortgage 

interest rate for its Section 502 Homeownership Direct 

Loan Program. Effective Apr. 1, 2005, the new interest rate 

has been reduced to 5.625%, down from the 6% rate that 

has been in effect since October. This rate decrease makes 

these spring months a good time for low-income families 

to purchase a home through the USDA Rural Development 

program. 

The USDA Rural Development Middletown office is 

located at 225 Dolson Ave., Suite 104, Middletown, NY 

10940. The Middletown Service Center is accessible to

Brought to You By Eric Nilsestuen 

Sports and nicknames go hand in hand, but nowhere 

are they more common than in baseball. Entering the 2005 

major league season, an internet search found these 

monikers from throughout the game’s history: 30 Babes, 

13 Duckys, 5 Dizzys, 2 Daffys and 9 Buckys. There were 

also 16 Rabbits, 8 Luckys, 7 Candys, 6 Frenchys, 4 Majors, 

4 Greeks, 2 Gomers and 2 Goobers. Let’s not forget the 13 

Smokeys, 13 Rockys, 5 Corkys, 5 Porkys and 5

When Marlins center fielder Juan Pierre finally sat out 

a game in early April 2005, it marked the first time in 299 

games that he wasn’t atop Florida’s batting order. That’s a 

long way from the hallowed consecutive-game record of 

Cal Ripken, Jr., but Pierre has still been an iron man of 

sorts. In fact, he was the only big leaguer to play every 

inning of every game for his team in 2004. The last player 

to do that was Detroit’s Travis Fryman in 1995. But the 

record is held by Ripken, of course. Amazingly, he played 

every inning of every game for four straight seasons from 

1983 through 1986.

Speaking of longevity, let’s pay homage to an iron man 

of the ice who clearly plays his game for love and not 

money. United Hockey League veteran Mike Kerr holds the 

minor league record for goals with 673. Earning at most 

$750 per month, Kerr neared the end of the 2005 season 

with more than 1,200 minor-league games played. He’s 

been the sport’s most notorious nomad, having played for 

Rochester (twice), Cincinnati (three times), Fort Wayne 

(twice), Flint (three times), Quad Cities (twice), Portland, 

Utica, Birmingham, Mobile, Toledo, Rockford, Elmira and 

Kalamazoo – among others.

DMR Wins at Penn with Team Effort 

By Richard Furst 

The girls distance medley relay team made their dream 

of winning the Penn Relays a reality as they put together 

four personal records to outclass the field and win in a 

national best time of 11:47.65. The girls have worked 

together as a unit for two years and gave up the possibility 

to compete as individuals so that they could achieve the 

glory that can only be experienced when a group achieves 

greatness together.

Leading off for the team was senior Amanda Robotti. 

Robotti has dedicated herself to the leadoff role and pooled 

her ability to focus on task with her spirit and racing 

knowledge to put the team in contention with a fine 3:43.6 

1200m leg. Robotti bided her time in the pack for two laps 

before passing most of the field down the last backstretch 

to hand off just four seconds back. Robotti’s time is the 

third fastest in school history. At the handoff, senior Jaclyn 

Young took the stick and sped down the track fast but comfortable. 

Two teams caught Young but in the home stretch 

Young surged to move up three positions and handed off in 

third just two seconds back. Young’s stretch run showed her 

heart and her 58.2 split showed that Warwick is not a oneperson 

team. Her split was the fastest 400m time for any of 

the top five teams. At the handoff senior Melissa Mark shot 

out of the exchange zone and put pressure on the leaders 

with a very fast 63.5 first lap. Mark held her ground and 

handed off just 12 meters back. Mark’s split was 2:17.6. 

Then junior Aislin Ryan took charge. At this point, Vere 

Tech of Jamaica, Eleanor Roosevelt of Maryland and Bay 

Shore from NY were just in front. Knowing that Ryan was 

right there, all three runners went out too fast. Ryan just 

stalked them for the first 400m, then moved into the group 

on lap two. Ryan’s splits were 66.8 and 2:22.3 for her first 

two laps. Then she pulled away and won by eleven seconds. 

Ryan’s split was 4:47.9 with a final lap of 71.0 seconds. At 

this point the hometown fans were in frenzy. While the 

team took a victory lap the announcer gave names, splits 

and relayed the fact that their effort was the fourth fastest 

Boys Travel Soccer Beats Newburgh 

Warwick Fire, a new U10 Boys Travel Soccer Team, 

coached by Anthony Blomfield, won its third game in a row 

on Sun., May 1, against Newburgh's Real FC Tigers. Phillip 

Goska led the Fire with two goals straight out of the chute, 

while Nicholas Daigle and Gregory Snigur saw their openings 

and also scored. Newburgh scored two goals, but there 

was no stopping the Warwick team. 

Warwick Boy’s Lacrosse Notch First Wins 

The Warwick boy’s seventh and eighth grade lacrosse 

team picked up two wins last weekend winning 10–0 at 

LaGrange and 5-2 against Northern Dutchess. The wins 

improved Warwick’s record to 2-1. 

The Wildcat offense came alive in the 10-0 win at 

LaGrange Friday night. Warwick dominated time of possession 

and shots on goal. Byron Quinn’s three goals and 1 

assist led the way. Adam Tschinkle (2 goals), Mike Santalla, 

Stephen Hollis, Mark Hughes, Jon Roerden and Devin 

Hurley also scored for the Wildcats. Warwick’s defensive 

Nicholas Daigle shoots and scores. 

American time at the Penn Relays since the DMR became 

a Penn Relays event in 1990. Interestingly our team ran in 

that race and placed sixth in what was then a school record 

of 12:19.48. This team will have one more chance to 

achieve excellence. That will be on June 18 in Greensboro, 

NC at the National Championship. In order to pay for this 

experience, the girls will have to raise $5,000 so be ready 

when you see a girls track fundraiser coming your way. 

There is no more deserving group of kids anywhere right 

now. 

Next year Robotti and Mark are University of 

Maryland bound. They will run for coach Mike Garrison. 

Garrison has nine years of assistant coach experience at 

Arkansas and is in his first year as head coach for the Terps. 

Coach Garrison is enthused to have our girls on his team. 

Young will be competing for East Stroudsburg University 

and will add strength and depth to their team. Ryan will continue 

her quest for a State Title in purple and gold. Right 

now she has the attention of the whole running world. 

The DMR was not the only Warwick Team to excel. 

The 400m relay team of Jenni Testa, Young, Alicea Bourne 

and Katelin Blaine ran a seasonal best of 52.55 and the 

1600m team of Blaine, Tori Pennings, Amy Connors and 

Kristen Peluso ran 4:15.05 to place third in their heat. It 

was a great experience as four of the six girls ran at Penn 

for the first time. Next up for the team will be the 

Friendship Games to be held at the track Friday evening, 

May 6. Come out and buy a t-shirt and a hotdog and cheer 

the girls on. See you there. 

The Fire has so far won all its outdoor games as a new 

team, due to the dedication and talent of its coach and the 

commitment of the boys to the team. The Fire, pictured 

here after their first win against the Minisink Strikers, will 

play again on Sun., May 8, in Warwick (1:15 pm at 

Warwick Soccer Fields), against another Newburgh team. 

unit stifled the LaGrange offense and forced numerous 

turnovers. 

In Sunday’s home opener, Warwick gave up the first 

goal but scored 5 of the next 6 en route to a 5-2 win. Goalie 

Stephen Conklin turned in a strong performance, making 

eight saves as Warwick’s defense held Northern Dutchess 

scoreless in the second half. The Wildcat offense was led by 

two goals by midfielder Dillon Lomnitzer. Mike Santalla, 

Sean McNamara and Byron Quinn also tallied for 

Warwick.
