Applefest 2004 will kickoff 

Warwick’s apple-picking season 

on Sun., Oct. 3. Applefest has 

been selected as one of the top ten festivals in 

the "Top 100 Events in North America" by the American 

Bus Association. There will be approximately 275 artisans 

displaying a variety of handmade products. The Warwick 

Valley Chamber of Commerce began organizing this event 

in 1988 as an opportunity for non-profit organizations to 

raise funds. Sixteen years later, the well-known festival 

now attracts artists from all over the northeast and beyond. 

One of the vendors at this years’ festival is a group of 

women who call themselves "Chicks with Sticks." The 

group was started through the ingenuity of Janet 

McInerney, an artist from Pennsylvania. Well-known in 

her home community as a woman who is always happy to 

lend a hand, Janet found herself in need of distraction. 

Last June, her sister, Sue, who lives in Florida, NY was diagnosed 

with breast cancer. 

Anguished by the distance and the inability to be on 

hand with Sue, Janet surrounded herself with a close knit 

group of friends. These women had talked each other 

through bad times before, and this situation was no different. 

It didn’t take long before the group started using their 

talking time to knit. They would give their handiwork as 

gifts. Scarves, ponchos, wraps, purses and other creations 

made by these women soon became the rage in Bucks 

County. Word got around and the newly named "Chicks 

Entered As Second Class Matter

with Sticks" began taking orders. 

Janet and Sue’s mother, Dee, also lives in Florida. 

During Sue’s illness, Dee immediately took on the role of 

nurse, listener and on-hand supporter to Sue and her family. 

Dee spent many days with Sue while she was recovering. 

During one of their long-distance telephone conversations 

about how Sue was doing, Janet thanked Dee for 

"casting her on" to knitting so many years before. She 

explained how the creative process had helped pass some of 

the worrisome hours. Janet suggested that Dee remind Sue 

how to knit. "We thought it would be a great way for Sue 

to spend the time and possibly relieve some of the stress 

while she waited to get back on her feet," said Janet. 

Janet joined her mom at Sue’s Florida home last win- 

ter. The three women talked and 

they knit and the bounty of beautiful 

products grew. Janet doesn’t 

get her penchant for helping others from 

anywhere strange. She explains, "I’ve learned a 

lot from Sue. Anyone who knows her has been either directly 

helped by her or inspired by her efforts to help others." 

While enjoying one of their afternoon knitting sessions, 

Sue wondered aloud about how she could give back. 

She had been amazed at the response to news of her illness. 

She was inundated with people offering to help her; friends 

drove her kids to their activities and stopped by with dinner 

for the family - some of them even got together and 

hired a cleaning service to keep Sue’s house in its usual tidy 

state. 

"Sue didn’t even realize that these people were giving 

back to her for all she had done for them," said Janet. Dee, 

Sue and Janet decided to bring more women into the fold 

of "Chicks with Sticks." With a larger group, they could 

create an inventory of products to sell at festivals like 

Applefest and donate a portion of the proceeds to the 

Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. 

Janet is happy to report that Sue is doing well. "She 

won’t be at Applefest because even though she’s done with 

chemo, she has just had reconstructive surgery. She sent all 

of her products up just before the surgery. In fact, Sue was 

so anxious to get everything ready; she used her 11-year old 

son’s night vision goggles to finish up a few sweaters during 

a blackout caused by hurricane Frances." 

Look for the "Chicks with Sticks" at Applefest. They 

will be in the Bank of New York parking lot on South Street.

VOLUME 120, NUMBER 17 WARWICK, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2004 50¢ 

Close Knit Group Prepares for Applefest 

By Lisa Rice 

It's been nearly six years in the making, but the 

Warwick Grove Showcase is just about ready to open its 

doors to the public. The Warwick Grove Company is an 

affiliate of Leyland Alliance LLC of Tuxedo, NY and 

Tarragon Corporation of NYC. A planned community for 

active adults aged 55 and over, Warwick Grove is a traditional 

neighborhood that has been designed with consideration 

and harmony to enhance Warwick's quaint village. 

A small example of the consideration given to this 

community by Warwick Grove Company LLC is the story 

of the Bog Turtle. While working with an environmental 

team to prepare a required Environmental Impact Study 

during the planning phase of this project, a Bog Turtle 

habitat was discovered on the 130 acre site and adjacent 

parcels. The Bog Turtle is protected by the Federal 

Endangered Species Act. The preservation of its habitat 

and interconnection of the water basins of the Bog Turtle 

is enforced at the state level. 

Working with Dr. Michael W. Klemens, a renowned 

Environmentalist who wrote the Federal Recovery Plan for 

the Bog Turtle, a plan was developed to protect the natural 

habitat and maintain the interconnection of the drainage 

system that spans a large section of the Bellvale system. It 

was not only important to consider the traffic flow over the 

flood plain habitat, but also to allow Bog Turtle movement 

throughout the habitat. 

By using design, expense and innovation, a system was 

designed using skylights to provide daylight conditions

Volunteers Receive Praise at Town Meeting 

It was a night of awards, praise and recognition at the 

Warwick Town Board meeting on Thurs., Sept. 23, as several 

residents were honored for their volunteer work in their community. 

Julia Brown, Chair of the Kings Estates Sugar Hills 

Recreation Advisory Committee (KESHRAC) presented these 

awards to Shieda Terry, Naomi Hall and Theresa Rizzotti. 

"While most people sit back and wait for others to do 

- you did not," said Brown, to the three recipients. "Each of 

you has made a significant difference in our community by 

participating and getting involved and you also teach others, 

by volunteering." The three Kings Estates residents picked 

up debris, handed out flyers, folded newsletters, stuffed 

envelopes, etc. The Kings Estates Sugar Hills Recreation 

Advisory Committee consists of seven individuals who volunteer 

their time and are liaisons with the Town Board for 

the 352 houses in their community.

WARWICK VALLEY DISPATCH, SEPTEMBER 29, 2004 3 

Village Board has Heavy Agenda 

By Eileen Patterson 

The Village Board of Trustees addressed several letters 

at the Sept. 20 meeting from concerned citizens asking for 

attention to various issues. A family living in the Village 

wrote to request reimbursement for a water filter which 

needed to be replaced as a result of the brown tinge recently 

discovered in the Village water system. Trustee Bill Iurato 

commented that if the Village paid $90 for this cartridge, it 

could expect that many more requests would be forthcoming. 

The Board decided to discuss the issue and respond to 

that family. 

The Orange County Health Department sent a survey 

on the Water System Capacity with a request that it be 

completed and returned. DPW Supervisor Steve Sisco 

acknowledged that he had also received the request and 

would complete the survey. A letter was received from the 

Orange County Water Authority advising that they had 

hired members of the Hudson Basin River Watch to perform 

stream bio-monitoring surveys; some of which will 

take place in Warwick. 

A group of residents living on Gordon Terrace sent a 

petition urging attention to a dangerous drainage ditch in 

their neighborhood. The letter described the drainage 

ditch as a health hazard to children playing in the area. 

Mayor Michael Newhard commented that he had inspected 

the drainage ditch with the Village Engineer and they 

determined that the ditch was not on Village property. The 

Board agreed to write a letter informing the property 

owner of their responsibility to correct the situation. 

Skateboarders have Rights, Too 

The final letter read into the record by Trustee Pascal 

was written by a mother in support of her teenage son who 

is interested in skateboarding. She explained, "My son and 

his friends are street skateboarders and they are good kids." 

She noted that the kids are teased by the idea that there is a 

skate park in the Village, but it is too small and rarely open. 

Her letter recounted recent events when the kids had their 

skateboard confiscated by the police because they were 

skating in parking lots and open areas in the Village. 

She asked for confirmation of her son’s claim that 

Mayor Newhard had given him permission to skate in the 

parking lots in the Village. She suggested designating a 

bike and skate lane within the Village which would create a 

place for the large group of people interested in these activities 

to enjoy their sport. The Mayor denied ever granting 

permission to anyone to skateboard in the parking lots, 

noting that they are private property and beyond his 

authority. 

"The skate park hours can be changed based on the 

response of the community," said Newhard. "It is one of 

the few municipally-run skate parts in Orange County and 

it is not too small. It was designed for use by skate boarders, 

inline skaters and BMX bike riders." The Board agreed 

the issue needs to be addressed. Being that Trustee Iurato 

is the Board liaison to the Village Parks and Recreation, the 

board asked that he organize a meeting and reach out 

through the schools to find out how best to manage and 

possibly change the skate park to make it more usable. 

New Firehouse Dedication 

The Raymond Hose Fire Company wrote to invite 

Mayor Michael Newhard and the Trustees to attend a formal 

dedication of their new firehouse on Oct. 10 at 1 p.m. 

on West Street. 

Motions 

There were several motions put forward to vote by the 

Board. A motion to begin asking for bids to add or repair 

sidewalks on Van Buren and Factory Streets was put on 

hold so that the Board can determine if the arrival of winter 

will interfere with the project. The bid process requires 

that the job be complete within 60 days of requesting bids. 

This system is in place to ensure timely completion of a 

publicly-funded project. 

The Board is concerned that if bids are requested this 

late in the year, a change in the weather will inhibit the 

completion of the project within 60 days and the funds 

would be lost. Mayor Newhard took advantage of Warwick 

resident and County Legislator, Mike Pillmeier’s attendance 

at the meeting to request that he investigate the possibility 

of the funds be carried over for use next year. Mr. 

Pillmeier promised to look into it and respond to the Board. 

New stop sign is in place on Forrester Ave. and Burt Place. 

Moshe Schwartzberg is New ZBA Chairman 

Two motions were on the agenda regarding personnel 

changes on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Current ZBA 

member, Moshe Schwartzberg was appointed Chairman to 

replace Henry DeVries who recently resigned and John 

Prego was appointed as a new member to the Zoning 

Board. 

Outstanding Bills 

Several motions were approved to pay outstanding 

bills or to approve projects. Green’s Lawn and Tree Service 

was awarded a repair project at the South Street Parking 

Lot. This comes as a result of a recent car accident causing 

damage to the parking lot. Green’s will be paid by the auto 

insurance company of the driver causing the damage. 

A $2,000 software purchase was approved to update 

the computer systems within the Village offices. 

Recently apprised that final drawings and documents 

are in the appropriate place, the Board approved final payment 

for the completion of the Reservoir Dredging project. 

Extra Security 

In his report, Town of Warwick Police Chief Thomas 

McGovern informed the board that he has recently met 

with the organizers of both the Homecoming Parade on 

Oct. 2 and Applefest on Oct. 3. His staff is prepared for 

extra security required at these events. The Homecoming 

parade will start at approximately 11:45 a.m. near the intersection 

of Routes 17Aand 94, and proceed down Main St. 

The reviewing stand will be in front of the Warwick Valley 

Telephone building. The parade route will turn down 

Welling Place, onto Spring Street and West Street to the 

ending point at the High School. 

‘Buckle-Up New York’ 

In addition, Chief McGovern informed the Board that 

Warwick Police are actively participating in "Buckle-Up 

New York," a program to ensure that all drivers are using 

seatbelts and sufficient child restraint devices. McGovern 

said that the officers will be stopping and ticketing drivers 

who are not in compliance with this law. 

Stop Signs on Forrester Ave. 

The Chief also reminded the community that two new 

stop signs have been installed on Forester Avenue near the 

Park Avenue School. While police understand the newness 

of these signs, drivers who do not stop will be ticketed. 

Citizens Advisory Committee is Complete 

In his closing comments, Mayor Newhard announced 

that the search process to create his newly formed Citizens 

Advisory Committee is complete. The purpose of the 

committee is to extend his reach to hear about the needs of 

the community. The members, all of whom are Village residents, 

represent the diversity within the village including 

men and women; newcomers and life-long residents; 

retirees; stay at home moms and full-time professionals. 

The committee members are Lisa Cavanaugh, Julie 

English, Glen Dickes, John DeSanto, Julie Griffin, Pam 

Arace and Mary Jankowski.

Letters to the Editor 

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: 

editor@wvdispatch.com 

Editors Note: 

As of press time no letters to the editor were received. We encourage our readers to share their points of view with The Dispatch. 

Applefest

throughout the culvert system and keep the habitat hospitable to 

the species. Other species that will benefit from this design 

include the blue spotted salamander and the wood turtle. 

"They took responsibility to protect the environment very 

seriously," said Dr. Klemens. "If you care about community it’s a 

logical solution to care about the environment." In fact, Dr. 

Klemens was so pleased with the design solutions proposed by 

Warwick Grove, that he presented them at the New England 

Governor's Conference as an example on how to preserve habitats. 

The "Leyland Bridge" has raised the bar on the New York 

State standard for endangered species protection. 

This story is typical of a company that goes above and 

beyond in design and distinction. Warwick Grove is the newest 

project from Leyland Alliance, the people who brought our community 

such distinctive neighborhoods as Horizon Woods, 

Horizon Farms and Covered Bridge Estates. 

Designed as a "Traditional Neighborhood," Warwick Grove 

will house 215 families where at least one owner is 55 or older. 

The community will consist of 154 single family homes, 31 townhouses 

and 30 elevated condominium apartments, beautifully 

situated around the neighborhood center with meeting space, fitness 

spa, swimming pool, courtyard and common building. 

So as not to impact the already crowded Warwick School 

District, children under 18 are not allowed to permanently reside

in Warwick Grove. "This is a community for Baby-Boomers," said 

Carole Rogers, Director of Sales for Warwick Grove. "These are 

working, active people looking for a special community." 

The style of homes was planned as painstakingly as the design 

of the community. Using an authentic style of architecture, five 

floor plans with 23 different exterior elevations were chosen for the 

early phases of the neighborhood. Care will be taken to ensure 

diversity amongst the homes and avoid a "cookie cutter" look. 

The homes will be arranged with front porches facing community 

walkways and intimate lanes. "This is a community 

designed to be inclusive, not exclusive in nature. It is not gated. It 

celebrates the public areas and promotes casual encounters. The 

Neighborhood Square is the heart and soul of Warwick Grove," 

said Monica Quigley, Vice President Sales and Marketing for 

Leyland Alliance LLC. 

The Warwick Grove Showcase, located at 48 Main Street, will 

open its doors to the public on Oct. 2, and local Realtors will get a

New Officers Elected by 

Warwick Conservancy 

Trustees 

Professor Andrew "Andy" McLaughlin William "Bill" Olsen 

William (Bill) Olsen and Professor 

Andrew (Andy) McLaughlin have been 

elected to lead the Board of Directors of 

the Warwick Conservancy, Inc. (WCI), 

Warwick’s own local land trust, as president 

and vice president, respectively. 

Charles Gilmore is the new treasurer and 

Diana Boernstein remains as the Board’s 

secretary. 

All are sitting trustees and the new 

postings became effective on July 15. The 

Conservancy works closely with other land 

trusts, non-profit community organizations 

and municipal entities in the area to 

achieve its goals, but is the only independent 

non-profit organization directly concerned 

solely with preserving Warwick’s 

natural resources, open spaces and rural 

character. 

Both the new president and vice president 

hold doctoral degrees: Olsen’s is in 

microbiology and biochemistry, and 

McLaughlin’s in philosophy. Both of them, 

in their training and current experience, 

are particularly well situated to understand 

and evaluate the challenges facing 

Warwick’s natural environment. Prof. 

McLaughlin’s expertise encompasses the 

philosophical, political and ethical aspects 

of humans in their interface with nature, 

and has written extensively on these subjects. 

Bill Olsen, who was awarded his PhD 

by Michigan State University, has spent 

time at MIT’s Department of Biology & 

Chemistry and the prestigious Max Planck 

Institute for Biochemistry in Munich, 

Germany. He recently retired as Senior 

Research and Development Scientist with 

International Paper in Tuxedo, where he 

was responsible for new technologies 

worth millions of dollars to the firm. 

"I intend, with the able assistance of 

our dedicated trustees, to build the programs 

of the Conservancy so that we will 

be a proactive conservation force rather 

than only reacting to the most pressing situations," 

Olsen says. "The outgoing president, 

Cushman May, has my deep admiration 

and respect for the excellent job he has 

done in helping to grow the organization 

from its infancy." 

"We are poised now to develop a more 

sophisticated approach to the problems of 

land conservation which will include 

forming closer liaisons with more established 

land trusts, foundations and other 

environmental organizations to learn from 


them and cooperate with them in mutually 

beneficial programs. We are very fortunate 

to have as WCI officers, among others, 

Professor McLaughlin, with his wide 

knowledge of ecology and preservation 

and Diana Boernstein, with her keen legal 

expertise on the team, who will be invaluable 

to bring us to the next step in our 

efforts." 

Charles (Chuck) Gilmore, the new 

Treasurer and a retired telecommunications 

executive was lauded by the outgoing 

president, Cushman May. "Charles worked 

with us in the final days of our Hallowed 

Ground fundraising drive. His managerial, 

project and planning skills have been, and 

will be, of great importance to the 

Conservancy as we continue to grow and 

take on more complex projects," said May, 

who will remain on the board as a trustee. 

Just last year, as a relatively new and 

untested group, the Conservancy raised the 

substantial funds locally needed to purchase 

the Village’s new Hallowed Ground 

Park at Forester Ave. and Galloway Rd., 

which had been threatened with development. 

The Conservancy now holds the 

conservation easement on the property, 

ensuring that it will remain forever green 

and the title to the property is in the name 

of the Village of Warwick. The park, once 

the cemetery of the first Old Baptist 

Meeting House and across the road from 

the greater portion of that historical cemetery, 

is situated at a key visual entrance to 

Warwick on Route 17A. 

The Warwick Conservancy (www.warwickconservancy.org) 

welcomes your participation 

as a conservation easement 

grantor, program volunteer, or as a financial 

underwriter. The WCI ensures the 

preservation of Warwick’s open spaces by 

creating and holding conservation easements 

on properties independently of government 

and private interests, and in perpetuity. 

The trustees are eager to reach out to 

local citizens who have expertise in the 

field of land conservation and welcome 

their input. If you would like more information 

on conservation easements or 

other programs of the Conservancy, or if 

you would like to volunteer or contribute 

funds, please contact Bill Olsen at 845- 

988-5299, or mail your tax deductible contributions 

to WCI, PO Box 1277, Warwick 

NY 10990. 

It’s Back-to-School & 

Business for Warwick 

School Board 

The Warwick Valley School District 

held their regular meeting on Mon., Sept. 

13 at the Dorothy C. Wilson Education 

Center in Warwick. Superintendent Dr. 

Joseph Natale reported a smooth start to 

the new school year and that there was no 

significant increase in enrollment. Dr. 

Natale also indicated that he went to every 

school in the district and noted the enthusiasm 

amongst the students and staff. 

Summer Construction has been completed 

with all the work being done on time. 

Windows were replaced at Kings 

Elementary School and an energy performance 

contract is in place to save 

money over the coming years. The summer 

enrichment program was an outstanding 

success. 

Another tremendous success was the 

Middle School, Job Shadowing Program, 

which is slated for eighth graders with the 

theory of "Life Beyond School." Students 

were allowed to ‘shadow’ people at work 

and this program had positive feedback. 

The Board also wished to praise and thank 

the custodial staff for their continued 

efforts and hard work to have the schools 

in top shape for the children.

Village of 

Florida 

By Mayor Jim Pawliczek 

Thank-Yous Are the Order of the Week 

When you visit our new park at Glenmere Lake, 

you will notice six new picnic tables. These tables 

were built by Florida Troop 44, supervised by David 

Kelemen, son of Tom and Pat of 23 Maple Street. This 

undertaking was David’s Eagle Scout project. His 

scoutmaster is Vincent Rutkowski. Thank you scouts 

and leaders. 

In the near future, you will be seeing a new 

garbage truck about town. This is due to the efforts of 

Senator Tom Morahan, which enabled our village to 

obtain a grant of $125,000. Thank you Senator 

Morahan. 

The Village received notice from Orange County 

Community Development that we will be receiving 

$75,000 toward the cost of replacing the water line on 

Wheeler Road from Highland Avenue toward 

Dussenbury Road. Work will commence in 2005. 

Because we were successful in keeping expenses 

for the parkland under budget, our original grant of 

$75,000 was reduced to $34,200. 

On Oct. 2 a "Memory Walk" for the benefit of the 

Alzheimers’ Association starts at 10 a.m. at the 

Orange County Residential Facility. All walkers and 

sponsors are encouraged to participate.

barbecue follows recognition ceremonies. You can

There is no cost to children six years of age and 

under.

Blood Donation Saves a Young Mothers’ Life 

Kelly Fedrizzi with her two beautiful children: Peter, 6 

and Travis, 4, believes she owes her life and the lives of 

her children to the generosity of blood donors. 

Pennings Will Spook Even the Bravest

U-Pick Apples & Pumpkins 

The fun truly begins at Pennings with

Special Weekend Activities 

"If it was not for the generosity of people who donate 

blood," said Kelly Fedrizzi, "my husband, Mark, would be a 

widower without children." Fortunately, Fedrizzi, who suffers 

from ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura), a 

low platelet disorder, is alive and well. She is also the mother 

of two healthy and active boys; Peter, 6, and Travis, 4. 

Fedrizzi, a part time staff member at Schervier 

Pavilion, a skilled nursing facility on the Warwick Campus 

of Bon Secours Charity Health System, gave birth to both 

sons at St. Anthony Community Hospital (SACH). 

Because of her disease, she said that she was considered a 

high-risk patient and that giving birth would pose a serious 

danger to both her and her baby. 

Fedrizzi credits the excellent care she received at the 

hospital and from the physicians at Community OB/GYN 

Associates for the successful births. She is especially grateful 

to the donors who supplied the extraordinary amount 

of blood needed to produce the immunoglobulin infusions 

that raised her platelet count to a safe level. 

"Without these donors," she said, "I wouldn’t be here 

and my boys might not be here. I’m telling this story to put 

During weekends and special events, 

children can enjoy both tractor and pony 

rides, face painting, the mindscape tunnel, 

inflatable farm train, scarecrow making 

and so much more. 

Kiddie Korral, Barnyard Buddies & More 

The children always enjoy feeding the 

barnyard buddies and playing in the kiddie 

korral. The picnic area is perfect for the all 

to enjoy lunch.

Life Is But A Dance 

By Sharon & Gary Newton 

Many wander through life believing 

that their daily existence is a series of disconnected 

thoughts, feelings, actions and 

events. In reality we are very much the 

product of an orchestra of parts: physical 

parts, emotional parts, mental parts and 

spiritual parts, all participating in a neverending, 

ever-evolving choreography of 

beliefs, attitudes and behaviors, a choreographed 

dance. 

If you listen to how children laugh and 

cry, without even seeing them you instantly 

know which are yours because you know 

the patterns of their giggles and sobs. 

Perhaps you recognize when your partner 

is one aisle over in the store because you 

are instantly tuned to the rhythm of his 

sneeze or the cadence of her walk. You, too, 

have your own natural rhythm, your own 

natural dance, that helps make you 

uniquely special. Life is but a dance - a 

boundaryless soup of rhythms and tempos. 

Sharon’s Story 

My own emotional and physical 

rhythm came from losing my younger 

brother and from the daily excruciating 

pain I had from injuries to my leg and the 

resulting major operations. I got up from 

my desk and left my job because of the 

intense pain - never to return. My emotional 

rhythm resulted from physical and 

mental abuse from my first husband of just 

four months and the divorce I quickly 

sought, and from losing everything I 

owned and escaping with my life during a 

major gas pipeline explosion to the unsuccessful 

attempts at pregnancy in my current 

marriage - even with the help of a 

respected fertilization clinic. 

On top of all that I was seeing a therapist 

for post-traumatic stress and pain 

management and another therapist for 

marriage counseling, meanwhile managing 

four concurrent law suits related to some 

of the above. All of which happened in a 


High School Meistersingers Hit High Note! 

The 2003-2004 Warwick Valley High School Meistersingers and their director Lois Heller during the taping of their audition 

for the Disney Honors 2005 festival. - Photo provided by L. Heller. 

Under the talented leadership of Lois Heller, the 

Warwick Valley High School Meistersingers will be attending 

and performing at the "invitation only" Disney Honors 

2005 festival that showcases the nation’s premier high 

school choral ensembles, concert bands and orchestras. 

Directed by Mrs. Heller, the Meistersingers is a select, a 

cappella group of only the finest voices at Warwick Valley 

High School. 

Having received several superior and/or outstanding 

ratings at state events, the Meistersingers were nominated 

last May by the New York Music Educators Association to 

apply to the festival. Based on their musical and artistic 

excellence and their taped submission, the Meistersingers 

were selected by a Disney Honors panel from among the 

top-ranked choral groups across the country to be invited 

to this upcoming festival Apr. 20 – 24. 

These dedicated and artistic high school vocalist will 

have the opportunity to present an outstanding performance 

for a nationally recognized adjudication panel. 

Following each performance, adjudicators will conduct 

four year period. There was never enough 

space between them to process any single 

one of them, running from doctor to doctor, 

attorney to attorney and trauma to 

trauma with no apparent end in sight. 

I sunk! And, I sunk deep into a dark, 

suicidal depression. My rhythm became 

yelling and screaming at my husband, hating 

my body, putting myself down, saying 

things like, "I am not good enough and no 

one loves me! I can’t move because my leg 

hurts too bad. Why trust anything or anyone? 

I’ve been a victim all my life and it’s 

never gonna end - it’s their fault. Why am 

I so depressed? Why live – I can end this 

pain tonight with a knife!" 

I was in my drama and I truly believed 

that the drama and the pain were all there 

was. And that was my truth until I eventually 

learned to put my emotions and physical 

pain into a dance - in my dance, even 

though I did not know the steps. It didn’t 

matter, I just kept moving and letting my 

emotions flow into the dance. Issues of 

abandonment and trust came up. I could 

feel some kind of energy moving inside of 

me and around me. The energy and the 

music kept me moving. My body was moving 

in ways I didn’t think it could. At some 

point, I heard an inner voice say to me "You 

don’t need to live up to other people’s 

expectations anymore. Trust and love 

yourself and no one can abandon you." 

After my dance I sat down and cried 

from my soul. There were tears of freedom, 

tears for honoring my dance and tears for 

having compassion for myself in ways I 

never did before. I knew I no longer had 

any reason for putting myself down and I 

could finally move beyond my daily 

thoughts of suicide. I now move to a new 

rhythm and I created a new dance. 

I gave myself that gift and I want to 

share it with others. So I began playing 

with the idea and it eventually blossomed 

into a rhythmic dance movement workshop 

called Dances Beyond Boundaries, 

born of my own pain and limitations. 

Dances Beyond Boundaries, a Workshop 

Dances Beyond Boundaries is a 

shamanic healing journey that can help 

you move beyond the habitual patterns 

that hold you back. In this workshop you 

will move, dance, sweat and grow to a 

blend of indigenous music, exotic colors 

and harka energy, all within a Native 

American medicine wheel. Learn to trans-

personal feedback clinics with each group. In addition, 

these extraordinary students will have the special opportunity 

to attend one-hour master classes, a special Disney 

Seminar, and a themed evening social event where they can 

meet other talented musicians from across the country. 

The festival concludes with a semi-formal gala event 

where each ensemble is recognized and presented with the 

Disney Honors Award. Superintendent of the Warwick 

Valley Central School District, Dr. Joseph L. Natale said, 

"We’re very proud of the achievements of the 

Meistersingers and their outstanding director Lois Heller. 

We are all excited about this honored educational opportunity 

for these outstanding students." 

The Meistersingers will be holding several fundraising 

events to help cover most, if not all, of the costs of transportation 

to and attendance at the festival. For their first

on display from Oct. 3 – Nov. 2 at Orange Hall Galleries as 

part of a "Four Men" art show. Dirk, who was a Seaman on 

tugs in the Hudson River and New York Harbor for many 

years, is known for his paintings of the farmlands in 

Florida and Warwick as well as tugboats and ships. On various 

occasions, Dirk has given free demonstrations to students 

at Pine Island Elementary School. His works are all 

done in oils and will be displayed as Hudson Valley Scenes. 

As part of the venue for the "Four Men's Artworks," 

there will be four art shows by four individuals of distinctly 

different styles, but a similar theme – landscapes. 

Besides Dirk Van Oostendorp, Peter Krobath of Monroe 

will be showing works in oils and watercolors in The 

Waning of Seasons. His works are so representational that 

often they are mistaken as photographs. Some of his works 

are done in a pointillism style. 

Completing the four man show is John Vriesema of 

Richfield Springs, NY, formerly of Westtown and Robert 

Lewis Hoover of Searsville, Town of Crawford. The 

Opening Reception for all four shows is scheduled for Sun., 

Oct. 3 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The exhibit and reception, which

The Play’s the Thing at the Library 

If you love the theater and enjoy reading plays the 

Albert Wisner Public Library invites you to join a play 

reading of "The Golden Ladder" by local playwright Donna 

Spector on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. The play will be read aloud by 

those in attendance who wish to participate. Spector will 

attend the reading and be on hand for a discussion of her 

play afterward. Please register for this program by phone 

at 986-1047 or stop by the Reference Desk at the library. 

Copies of the play will be available at the Reference Desk 

on Oct. 1. 

This semi-autobiographical comedy/drama is an 

exploration of the difficulties many people experience 

when they come from families torn by religious and ethnic 

differences. In an effort to come to some understanding of 

her identity, Catherine, in her early 30's, recalls her confused 

childhood and adolescence stemming from her 

Protestant mother's denial that her father is Jewish and her 

father's struggle to give up his spiritual heritage to please 

his wife. The play was produced Off-Broadway at Players 

Theatre on MacDougal Street in NYC in 2002. It is included 

in "Women Playwrights: Best Plays of 2002." 

Senior Focus Programs 

The library will also offer a new series of programs for 

and about senior citizens this fall. The series is titled Senior 

Focus with three programs planned. 

The first program, Arthritis: Alternative Approaches to 

Preventing and Relieving Joint Diseases will be presented 

on Oct. 18, at 1 p.m. Over 50 million Americans suffer with 

joint disease. This presentation educates the audience 

about what arthritis is, who is susceptible to arthritis, what 

causes it, how to relieve it and steps to prevent it. The 

speaker will be Maryann McQuillen, Dr. of Chiropractic. 

On Oct. 25, at 2 p.m. Bobbi Hull, Special Programs 

Director from Orange County Office of the Aging will discuss 

Community Resources for Older Adults. This presentation 

will assist older people in accessing information, 

services, benefits and entitlements which will enhance their 

later years. With the high cost of prescription drugs being 

an important economic factor in the lives of most older citizens, 

Bobbi Hull will present Paying for Prescriptions on 

Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. She will outline programs which help senior 

citizens pay for their needed medicines. 

These programs are open to all residents of the 

Warwick Valley School District. To register call 986-1047 

as seating may be limited. 

Robin Brae Keyboards 

Studio Debuts in Style 

By Lon Tytell 

Bernard Brice Colletti is excited about his new business, 

Robin Brae Keyboards Studio, which he set up at 4 

Robin Brae Drive. Berny exudes a positive energy combined 

with a low stress personal learning experience that 

has included piano instruction. His background includes 

playing in different venues in both group and solo performances 

in piano. 

He looks forward to the challenge of teaching the 

inexperienced as well as the aficionado. Throughout his 

extensive teaching career in piano instruction, he has heard 

excuses such as "two left hands," "short stubby fingers," 

"tone deaf," "no natural talent," "no musical facility," and "a 

terrible musical experience in childhood." 

Berny says, "All that is gibberish. All we need is 

desire!" He is so confident about this that he challenges 

himself through this offer: A free consultation followed by 

four introductory discounted lessons. Berny also challenges 

you to go home to decide if this is the right expression 

format and teacher for yourself or for your child. And, 

call him back only if you choose to continue at 986-9274. 

Berny will show you how to play an acoustic Baby

Grand piano and/or a digital musical keyboard, which can 

include supplemental software and teaching aides. The 

experience with digital keyboard could eventually lead to 

one's own music with multiple instruments and voicing 

layered together. He stresses an inductive approach which 

relies on application of concepts, much more conducive to 

creativity, musical signature, and originality. He finds page 

turning restrictive and boring. 

The many faceted musicians ran a gifted and talented 

enrichment Middle School District program in NYC that 

incorporated a multi art exposure and experience. Berny 

also supervised the NYS Standards Testing Program for his 

school in NYC and was actively involved in formulating 

and reviewing Middle School NYS Standards questions in 

Language Arts for the NYC School System. He is a NYS 

licensed teacher/trainer. 

Mostly through Pace and Fordham University, Berny 

worked on selecting scholastic students for the study of law 

with the promise of returning pro bono services to the 

community. Berny's wife is a nurse serving in the community. 

His two sons are musicians, composers, and studio 

engineers who both received education from SUNY 

Purchase where Berny also attended. SUNY Purchase was 

cited as one of the top NE musical programs in the USA.

There’s Nothing We Don’t Do 

by Scott Webber 

SIXTY YEARS AGO 

September 27, 1944: 

• Mayor J.H.L. Todd Jr. told The Dispatch that there 

was no guarantee of federal or state money to help pay 

for sewers for the Village of Warwick as proposed by 

Town Health Officer Dr. Harry Sayre. The mayor called 

this "loose talk." 

• Dr. Sayre, noting that the town has not experienced 

any serious epidemics since the 1918 flu, reported that 

there are 61 known outdoor privy toilets currently in use 

and expressed concern that they could lead to an epidemic 

of infantile paralysis. 

• The Dispatch ran the full text of President Roosevelt’s 

campaign speech to the Teamsters Union in Washington 

in which the Democratic Presidential candidate said, 

"The Republicans were now attacking his little dog, 

Fala." 

• A bus ticket to New York City, same day round trip, 

cost $2. The bus station in the city was at the Greyhound 

Bus Terminal at 8th Avenue and 50th Street. 

FORTY YEARS AGO 


• A four day fire in the Black Dirt region broke out in 

Myruski’s storage house and was swept by winds at the 

upper end of Pumpkin Swamp Road. A rain storm 

brought an end to it three days later. Damage was estimated 

at $2 million. 

• The Dispatch endorsed Democrat Robert F. Kennedy 

over Republican incumbent Kenneth Keating for the 

U.S. Senate from New York. A Virginia resident, 

Kennedy could not vote in the election. 

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO 


• The home of Mr. and Mrs. James Masker on Warwick 

Turnpike was gutted by a fire. 

• The Town Planning Board said "no" to an application 

for a swimming pool at the Black Bear Family 

Campground. It did not meet the required 200-foot setback 

from Wheeler Road near the Village of Florida. 

The pool was already under construction, 90 feet from 

the road. 

• Developer Matthew Forte outlined plans for 220 bedroom 

units in Homestead Village on the former Card 

Farm at a meeting of the Warwick Village Planning 

Board. 

• An ad in The Dispatch from D.L. Hawkins and 

Associates had a four bedroom "raised ranch" for sale at 

$64,000. 

TWELVE YEARS AGO 


• One hundred fifty years of Methodism in Warwick 

was observed by the Rev. James Moore who spoke on the 

spot where the church began in 1839, behind the current 

Mobil Gas Service Station when it was Ward’s Tavern. 

They met in the ballroom. Rev. Moore led a march from 

the 1867 Brick Church (now the Clocktower) to the tavern 

and from there to the present day church built in 

1973. 

• Roger Metzger was cited for 15 years of service on the 

Warwick Village Planning Board, six of which he served 

as chairman. Metzger used his stipend for his services to 

purchase benches for senior citizens in the Village.

Military Academy Information Forum 

U.S. Rep. Sue Kelly has organized an informational 

forum for Hudson Valley students interested in attending 

college at one of the nation's service academies. Kelly's 8th 

Annual "Academy Day" will take place on Sat., Oct. 2 from 

9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Scarborough Hall at the New York 

Military Academy (78 Academy Ave, Cornwall on Hudson) 

in Orange County. This location is not on the campus of 

the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. 

Kelly strongly recommends that any student considering 

application to a U.S. service academy attend the event 

in order to learn first-hand about student life and the nomination 

process. Joining Kelly will be representatives from 

the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Naval 

Academy (Annapolis, Md.), U.S. Air Force Academy 

(Colorado Springs, Co.), U.S. Merchant Marine Academy 

(Kings Point, NY) and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy 

(New London, Conn.). 

The academy representatives will answer students' 

questions and provide guidance on the application process. 

Kelly also invites guidance counselors and teachers from 

high schools throughout the Hudson Valley to attend the 

event and learn more about the nomination process and 

the opportunities available at U.S. service academies. For 

more information, contact Rep. Kelly's Fishkill office at 

845-897-5200. 

Sanfordville School’s Peace Pole Dedication 

The students in the 3rd and 4th grades at Sanfordville 

Elementary School in Warwick, created The Circle of Peace 

("peace wall memorial") in response to 9-11. It was their 

expression of hope for a more peaceful and just world. 

Peace Poles are sometimes regarded as wooden 

obelisks. Traditionally they are posts with four or six sides 

inscribed with, "May peace prevail on earth" in various lan- 

guages. The Peace Pole at Sanfordville Elementary School’s 

Circle of Peace has the six most widely spoken languages: 

Arabic, Chinese, English, Hindi, Russian and Spanish. 

The official dedication of the Peace Pole was Sun., 

Sept. 19 with many school and local officials in attendance. 

Speakers, singers, musicians and students also participated 

in the dedication.


SACHA Donates Proceeds of June Party 

Funds to be used for purchase of medication carts 

On Mon., Sept. 19, Gloria Okon, President of the St. 

Anthony Community Hospital Auxiliary (SACHA) presented 

her organization’s check for $ 22,000 to Judy 

Lindberg, Vice President of Patient Care Services for St. 

Anthony Community Hospital (SACH). The donation, 

proceeds from SACHA’s 2004 Annual June Party at 

Hickory Hill Golf Course, was primarily earmarked for the 

purchase of new state-of-the-art medication carts. 

This year SACHA’s donation of $22,000 enabled the 

hospital to purchase eight new customized medication 

carts with comprehensive security systems. The 800 series 

medication carts, manufactured by Lionville Systems, Inc., 

offer an auto-locking feature which was not available on 

older equipment. "This is the Cadillac of Med Carts," said 

Nurse Mary Zampella, RN, as she demonstrated the new 

features to SACHA members. Each cart at SACH has been 

configured to meet the needs of the areas they serve. 

"The most obvious benefit is that these new carts sup- 

port our hospital’s medication management workflow," 

said Judy Lindberg, Vice President of Patient Care Services. 

"Our nursing care team was especially impressed with the 

keyless entry system. By combining the technology of a 

keyless entry and auto-locking system, the nurses now have 

everything they need at their fingertips." 

"We wish to thank all our sponsors, the donors, our 

committees and all our committee chairs and volunteers," 

said Okon. "We are thrilled that our June Party was a success 

and that we were able to help purchase this wonderful 

new equipment for our community hospital." 

Gloria Okon and Terry Gavan served as co-chairs of 

SACHA’s 2004 June Party. Other committee chairpersons 

for this year’s event were Dorothy Anderson, Peggy 

Arizmendi, Carolyn Denny, Joanne Graney, Gladys Kaytes, 

Linda Ridella, Margie Meier-Berry, Monique Momin, 

Bonni Oswald, Diane Overby, Margaret Petlicka, Linda 

Ridella and Joan Roche.

JULIUS D. HARBURGER 

Julius David Harburger, of Florida, N.Y.,a man who 

loved a great "yarn" and spun more than a few, died Sept. 

5, 2004 at Schervier Pavillion, Warwick. He was 85. 

Born Jan. 4, 1919 in New York City, he was the son of 

Sarah Moser Harburger and Benjamin F. Harburger. 

Mr. Harburger is survived by his beloved wife of 37 

years, Brenda Scott Harburger; five children, Linda Park 

and her husband, Matthew, Mary Sue Rynecki and her husband, 

Nick; sons, Julius D. Harburger, Jr., Jay, Paul and 

Stephen Harburger, as well as one grandson, David Rynecki 

and his wife, Marcia Vickers and two great-grandchildren, 

Christopher and Carter. He is also survived by his sister, 

Suzanne Shapiro and her husband, Alan. 

Mr. Harburger served honorably in the United States 

Army Air Corps between 1940 and 1945 in Central 

America as a weather observer and obtained the rank of 

Staff Sergeant. He dreamed of becoming a writer. After the 

war, he started at the bottom as an office clerk in a N.Y.C 

advertising agency, sharpening pencils and distributing 

mail. He persisted and became a copywriter, penning 

untold popular ads for Ivory Liquid, Cascade, Duncan 

Hines, Jeep, Spiedel and many other national brands. By 

retirement, he was Sr. Vice Pres., Creative Director at 

Compton Advertising. 

He remained active writing books (including one work 

of poems that he self-published for each of his children) and 

participating in business and community affairs (serving as 

President of the Rotary Club in Livingston Manor and later 

as a Board Member of the Warwick Valley Rotary Club, as 

well as operating an ad agency with his wife). 

He will be remembered by those who knew him as a 

spiritual person and a fine human being who liked a well 

crafted story. His daughters recall the many characters he 

invented for bedtime stories and songs, his sons and grandsons 

remember the stories he recounted about great athletes 

he had seen from Babe Ruth to Bobby Jones. He fascinated 

his great-grandsons with the mysterious robot that swept 

around the bottom of his pool. He will be sorely missed. 

Memorial services were held Sat., Sept. 11 at the 

United Methodist Church, New Milford, N.Y. Funeral 

arrangements were by Lazear-Smith & Vander Plaat. 

Memorial contributions may be made to the Warwick 

Valley Rotary Club, P.O. Box 121, Warwick, N.Y., 10990, for 

their community service efforts.

Only 14 times in major league history has a hitter led 

either the National or American League in batting average, 

home runs and rbi in the same season – baseball’s Triple 

Crown – and the last was Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. 

But only 12 players have done it, which means two did it 

twice. Any guesses? They were Rogers Hornsby with St. 

Louis in 1922 and 1925, and Ted Williams with Boston in 

1942 and 1947. Do you know the only year in which it happened 

in both leagues? It was 1933, when cross-town rivals 

Chuck Klein of the Phillies and Jimmie Fox of the old 

Philadelphia A’s captured their respective crowns.

When Peyton Manning completed a pass to Marvin 

Harrison against Tennessee in December of 2003, they 

became the second duo in NFL history with at least 600 completions 

for at least 8,000 yards. Any idea who was first? It 

was Buffalo’s Jim Kelly and Andre Reed. But when it comes 

to wide receiving tandems, none were more productive than 

Miami’s Mark Duper and Mark Clayton from quarterback Dan 

Marino. Nobody else matches their combined 1,061 catches 

for 17,512 yards and 140 TDs.

Who makes all those massive, high-tech, multi-tasking, 

multi-screen scoreboards? Would you believe that most of 

them come from tiny Brookings, South Dakota (population 

about 18,000) and a company named Daktronics? As of 

2004, Daktronics had created all or part of the boards in 22 

of 31 NFL stadiums, 19 of 30 NHL arenas, 19 of 28 NBA 

arenas, and 24 of 30 major league ballparks, including the 

largest sports scoreboard in North America, a 36-by-149 

monster at Cleveland’s Jacobs Field.

Purple Wave Second as Ryan Sets Record 

By Richard Furst 

The girls’ cross country team traveled to Lehigh 

University to compete in the Paul Short Invitational and 

came away with a second place finish. 

Leading the team was Aislinn Ryan with a huge win 

and a new record for the 5K course. Ryan ran 17:24.9 to win 

by over a minute. Ryan also missed a turn that separates the 

5K course from the college 8K course and ran 50m extra. 

Placing 10th in 19:29 was Amanda Robotti. Robotti’s time is 

a top time and will earn her a state ranking. Finishing 

strong and placing 25th was Samantha Grady in 20:12. In 

29th was Melissa Mark in 20:20. Finishing the scoring for 

the team was Joanna Stein in 43rd in 20:47. Right on Stein’s 

heels was freshman Tori Pennings in 20:48. Caitlyn Hurley 

finished 60th in 21:20 to round out the team. 

When the scores were totaled Allentown Catholic had 

80 as Warwick Valley totaled 97. After the race ACCHS 

coach Jack Pressman spoke kindly of our team and said, 

"We ambushed you. We practiced all week on this course 

plus we race on it all the time. The program was welcoming 

home Francis Coon who debuted for Villanova and we 

were psyched to do well. By contrast our girls ran the 

course site unseen and without our third girl Jaclyn Young 

who is recovering from a bout with bronchitis." 

Boys Varsity Soccer Improves Record: 5-0 

By John Van Pelt 

The Warwick Wildcats improved their record to 5-0 

with wins over Division II opponents Valley Central (3-0) 

and Port Jervis (10-0). The ‘Cats are also ranked 12th in the 

New York State Class AA State Soccer Rankings. The complete 

Top 15 is listed at the end of the column. 

Warwick traveled to Valley Central to play the defending 

Class AA Section IX runners-up from last season. VC 

also eliminated the ‘Cats on penalty kicks in the sectional 

tournament on their way to the final; so Warwick was looking 

to exact a little revenge. Led by Senior Adam Lloyd’s 

two goals the Wildcats got off to a fast start leading 2-0 

after 25 minutes. Early in the 2nd half Junior Brian 

Kokulak knocked home a loose ball off a scramble in front 

to give the visitors a commanding 3-0 lead. From that 

point on the outstanding Wildcat defense refused to let VC 

get near their goal. Seniors Jeff Paulik, Patrick O’Connor, 

Tim Gillen, Ryan Hallisey and Juniors Connor Franklin 

and Connor Leech did not allow a quality shot on goal by 

the Vikings. Bobby Blaskovich and David Lloyd combined 

to make four saves in the Warwick goal. 

By Gregory Sirico 

The Bill Garcia All State Insurance 

company is proud to honor Tim Marion 

as this weeks’ Wildcat football player of 

the week. The 5’9" 170 lb. senior running 

back and linebacker has been a tremendous 

contributor on both sides of the 

ball this week in the Wildcat’s 44 – 6 victory 

over Roosevelt High School in Hyde 

Park. Tim carried the ball six times for 

83 yards and a touchdown averaging 13.8 

yards per carry. 

Tim recorded five tackles from his linebacker position 

(two solo and three assists) and also kicked a 39 yard field 

goal in the third quarter to secure the victory. In addition 

to Tim’s ability as a player, he has also been selected as team 

captain by his teammates and will help to keep the Wildcats 

The JV race saw Julie Gouss finish strong and place 

third in 21:18. Kristen Peluso and Kayleigh Maher continue 

to move up as they placed 7th and 10th, respectively. 

Diana Lopez also ran with spirit and placed 14th in 22:06, 

while Cara Sullivan finished the scoring for the team with 

a fine 16th place finish in 22:19. 

Next up for the team will be the Great American Cross 

Country Festival. After that the Invitational schedule is 

uncertain as a ban has been placed on Warwick students traveling 

to New York City. Normally the team would take part in 

the Manhattan College Invitational at Van Cortland Park. 

VARSITY – 1 - Aislinn Ryan 17:24.9; 10 - Amanda 

Robotti 19:29.8; 25 - Samantha Grady 20:12; 29 – Melissa 

Mark 20:20; 43 – Joanna Stein 20:47; 44 – Pennings 20:48 

and 60 – Kaitlyn Hurley 21:20.

Mutz 26:43; 105 – Kyra Frosini 26:55; 107 – Emily 

Lamontagne 27:02 and 118 – Laketha Costello 27:59. 

The ‘Cats returned home to host a very young and 

inexperienced Port Jervis team, PJ also had a couple of 

injuries so the outcome was never in doubt. Led by Adam 

Lloyd’s new school record six goals, the ‘Cats easily defeated 

the Red Raiders 10-0. Also scoring for Warwick were 

Patrick O’Connor, Jeff Paulik, Brian Kokulak, and Steve 

Maggio. Recording assists were Junior Patrick Gallagher 

(2), O’Connor (2), Junior Connor Franklin, and 

Sophomore Patrick Akin. Once again Bobby Blaskovich 

and David Lloyd did not allow a goal. The win improved 

Warwick to 3-0 and first place in Division II.

Warwick Varsity Football improved its record 

to 2 -1 Thurs., Sept. 23, with a solid 44 – 6 victory 

over Roosevelt High School of Hyde Park. The 

Wildcat victory started conference play with a 1 – 0 

conference record. Warwick was defeated by 

Monroe in week one, 14 – 0, and has continued to 

get better by focusing on building team depth each 

week. 

Warwick was led by a core of talented backs 

rushing for 454 yards over the FDR Presidents. The 

rushing attack was led by Seniors Steven Prescod 

(eight carries for 68 yards and one touchdown), 

Tim Marion (six carries for 83 yards and 1 touchdown), 

Alex Darcey (five carries for 59 yards) and 

Derek Hrinya (four carries for 48 yards and two 

touchdowns). 

Warwick built a 34 – 0 halftime advantage over 

FDR. Junior reserve fullback John Giannino 

showed what he can do, leading all rushers with 14 

carries for 106 yards and one touchdown followed 

by Joe Stolzenberg (three carries for 36 yards), 

Warwick Football Rushes Past FDR: 44-6 

Anton Stewart (three carries for 28 yards and 

one touchdown), Michael Marchese, Chris 

Zueger, Ryan Darcey, James Fitzgerald and Rob
