Community Day a Great Success
Immense throng of visitors in the village; fine pyrotechnic displays witnessed by thousands

and Anna Ledwith
It was perfect in every way.
Mother Nature bestowed the
gift of magnificent weather
conditions, and the people of
Philipstown did the rest, mak-
ing Cold Spring Community
Day on Saturday, July 4, truly
a marvel to behold.
From beginning to end, the
festivities were an unparal-
leled success, made even more
special because they coincided
with the Quadricentennial cel-
ebration of Henry Hudson’s
voyage up the mighty “River
of Mountains.”
“I have lived here all my
life and I have never seen
this many people here for any
event,” said a red-white-and-
blue-clad woman at the Cold
Spring Fourth of July Com-
munity Day Celebration on
Saturday. “It’s a wonderful
thing to see!”
Main Street was a river of
people, while sloops and boats
stopped at the pier near the
bandstand for the first time
in recent memory. Accounts
from the Cold Spring Recorder
of the grand tricentennial cel-
ebrations in 1909 could have
described the scene witnessed
last Saturday:

River Festival Draws 3,000 to Mayor’s Park As Haldane Reorganizes Rec Commission Seeks
by Michael Mell
The first of what organiz-
ers hope will become an an-
nual River Festival came to
Cold Spring on July 5, 2009.
Sponsored by the Cold Spring
Antiques Dealer Association,
the festival expanded upon
their annual June Antiques
Fair to include arts and crafts
as well as antiques.
Storm King Mountain and
the Hudson River provided a
scenic backdrop as vendors,
buyers, and browsers mixed

Vast crowds congregate along the parade route, which began at Chestnut Street and ended
at the bandstand. Throughout the day between 5,000 to 7,000 people enjoyed the festivities.

Dining fare included burgers
and fries, soft drinks, Italian
ices, and waffles a la mode.
The gates opened at 9am
to a steady stream of visi-
tors that eventually reached
3,000 and continued until
the festival’s end at 5pm. A
shuttle bus ran continuously
between Mayor’s Park, Main
Street, and the Metro-North
station.
On display were antique

Asked how his restaurant
became one of the best in
Cold Spring, Ely replied,
“The people here gave us a
chance.” We offer consistent
quality and some of the best
recipes around. We also pay
attention to feedback from
customers.”
Ely reported that there has
been little to no drop-off in
business because of the weak

Holiday Ends on Mellow
Note with Sunset Music
by Michael Turton
As Wendy Martin eased into
those soothing, familiar and
laid-back lyrics, “Summer-
time…and the livin’ is easy,”
it marked the beginning of the
Summer Sunset Music Series
and the concluding event in
what was an idyllic fourth of
July weekend in Cold Spring.
After a non-stop, two-day
agenda jam-packed with pa-
rades, fireworks, rock music,
craft fairs, huge crowds, and
long line-ups at area restau-
rants, organizers could not
have planned Sunday’s mu-
sical kickoff any better. The
two acts, The Wendy Martin
Quartet, and the Gwen Laster
Band, featured music that
commanded the audience’s
attention—but also allowed
listeners a well-earned op-
portunity just to relax.
Held at Cold Spring’s wa-
terfront bandstand, this is the
eighth annual summer music
series. Concerts are spon-
sored by the Cold Spring Area
Chamber of Commerce, with
additional weekly financial
support provided by individual
area businesses.
“The series is intended to
generate foot traffic for mer-
chants,” commented Chamber
of Commerce president Nat

say that, “the combination of
Community Day, the Quad-
ricentennial, and a bright
sunny day all contributed”
to a very successful event.
One of the goals of the River

Prentice. “It’s also good to do
something for the community –
but our primary objective is to
help business,” he concluded.
A quick and very unscien-
tific poll of audience mem-
bers seemed to indicate that
the series is meeting both
objectives. While many in
the crowd were “locals,” as
many or more were from out
of town.
“We came for the crafts
but when we heard about the
music we decided to make
a whole day of it,” offered
Maria from Brewster.
Christopher and Miho hailed
from Brooklyn. “We just hap-
pened to be here and stayed for
the music,” Christopher said.
Paulette, Robert, and Isa-
belle made the trip from
Cresskill, New Jersey and
couldn’t have been any hap-

it’s the best view of the river,”
Paulette said.
What Kevin from Carmel
had to say will be music to
the ears of Chamber members.
“We’ve come to the music

he said. “We bring two or three
other couples with us and we
always stop at a restaurant
or bar afterwards. We like to

In our personal lives reor-
ganization takes the form of
that annual ritual in which
we clean out and tidy up
all the closets in order to
have a household that func-
tions smoothly in the months
ahead. For the Haldane Cen-
tral School District, that ritual
is called the Annual Reorga-
nization Meeting, and this
year’s version took place on
July 1, 2009.
A myriad of annual appoint-
ments, contracts, pay rates,
and policies were approved
by trustees as the District
eased into its 2009-2010 bud-
get year.
Village Addresses Water
Discoloration Problems
From the Cold Spring Water
Department:
The Village Water Depart-
ment is currently investigating
the cause(s) of discoloration in
various parts of the distrubu-
tion system. There are several
conditions, which may be con-
tributing factors: Changes in
raw water characteristics due
to excessive rains, sediment
buildup in the water storage
tanks, performance problems
with the corrosion-inhibitor in
the distribution system.
We are in the process of
arranging a tank inspection
with the manufacturer’s rep-
resentative. This will allow
assessment of the 12 year old
structures, as well as require
the tanks to be drained and
cleaned of any sediment/build
up. This will be accomplished
by mid- July.
Samples are being analyzed
in-house and via certified lab-
oratory to assess the char-
acteristics of the raw water,

outlook for the rest of July

Witt: Thank you for those
kind words. It appears to me
that July is going to be very
clos e to average as far as
temperatures are concerned.
As for precipitation, it is
very difficult to pinpoint if
it will be average or not. For
example, the first two days
of July, Cold Spring has re-
ceived 2.19” of rain. During
the same period, New York
City received only .15”. In
the summertime, it all depends
exactly where the thunder-

Host a Summer Blood Drive
Besides enjoying the sand
and surf this summer, the New
York Blood Center is asking
residents to please help our
local patients and hospitals
by hosting a summer blood
drive. They’re asking for help
in alleviating any potential
shortages in the blood supply
during a very critical time
of the year.
Even if you have never
planned a blood drive before,
don’t worry. It’s easy and
fun to do. Pick a favorite
location (church, temple, of-
fice, school etc.) and invite
your friends, family and co-
workers to stop by to donate.
They’ll do the rest. It’s as
simple as that.
To schedule a blood drive
please contact Andrea Ce-
farelli (914) 784-4639 or

org. Ask about community
service scholarships for stu-
dents who organize blood
drives.
If you cannot donate but
still wish to participate in
bringing life-saving prod-
ucts to those in need, please
consider volunteering at your
local blood drive. For general

Capturing the Spirit of the Nation at Mekeel’s Corners
A fiddle, a bugle, hymns, and patriotic readings transport us to America’s early days
On Independence Day in
America, most citizens spend
some time reflecting on our
nation’s founding documents.
But unless we also seek to
understand the culture that
inspired those ideas, we will
find it difficult to carry on
their legacy.
On Saturday morning, the
Fourth of July, a prayer ser-
vice at the little white cha-
pel hidden among the trees
at Mekeel’s Corners, where
Route 301 meets the Albany
Post Road, offered an oppor-

tunity to recall the spirit of
our founders. As the fresh
morning air entered through
the open doors, the congrega-
tion sang hymns and patriotic
songs. Ed Cleary, standing at
the altar in front of a cross
and lighted candles, led the
service, which featured read-
ings by men, women, and
children from our nation’s
founding documents and
Christian supplications to
God for the nation, her lead-
ers, and her people. Members
of the Admiral Worden Camp
o f t h e N e w Yo r k S o n s o f
Union Veterans of the Civil
War also participated.
The service was a reminder
that our forefathers did not
fight for our country so that
we could have a government
involved in every aspect
of our lives. Instead, they
crafted a limited govern-
ment, which, by offering a
framework of freedom, would
allow for citizens to prosper
and flourish. For many, their
most treasured freedom was
the ability to worship God as
they saw fit.
This country was built by
men and women with strong
religious convictions, devel-
oped and fortified in places
such as the chapel at Mekeel’s
Corners.
Today we might mock the
Puritan or the fundamentalist,
even as we enjoy the fruits of
their ideas and the liberties
won by their blood. It was

Truth Will Prevail
To the Editor:
I am greatly troubled by
the lack of fair balance and
journalistic integrity dem-
onstrated in the two articles
regarding the Philipstown
Food Pantry. Both articles are
based on information from a
single source and contain mis-
information, partial truths,
untruths, and innuendo with
the apparent expressed intent
of maligning the First Presby-
terian Church of Philipstown,
its members, staff, and pro-
grams. The suggestions that
the church misappropriates
the funds donated to the Food
Pantry, that it has a conflict
of interest in overseeing the
program, and that the con-
tribution to the church by
the Food Pantry was done
without agreement by the
then Coordinator have no
basis in fact.
While the second article
largely reprised the same in-
formation as the first, there is
a new attempt to discredit the
church with incomplete infor-
mation and speculation. As
one of the members present,
I want to note the following
information, which represents
the complete truth regarding
the Stated Meeting of the
Session called for Friday, 26
June. It is true that there were
only 4 Session members pres-
ent; weather was not a factor.
What is not stated is that 4
members do not constitute a
quorum; therefore, no actions/
votes could be taken. There
was no meeting—no item,
including the Food Pantry, on
the two-page meeting agenda
was discussed. At the request
of those of us present, The
Rev. Leslie Mott sent us on
our way with prayer.
I am confident the truth
will prevail, just not in the
PCN&R.

Are Teachers Paid
on Performance?
To the Editor:
I write in support of the
letter to the editor by Mr. J.
Barbaro.
It seems to be forgotten that
there is a populace out here
that pays for these automatic
raises. One gets the sense that
teachers are entitled by virtue
of the fact they are teachers.
One does not argue with the
fact that education must be
paid for but one wonders how
is it measured? To those of
us who own or run businesses
it is at odds with how we or
anyone is compensated. We
must perform or else we lose
customers and if it persists we
are out of business. Is there
such a standard for teachers/
educators?
A few years ago a book
called Stand & Deliver was
published. Perhaps you know
it. It was the story of a Pe-
ruvian immigrant, Jaime Es-
calante, a teacher in Garfield
High School in Los Angeles.
The student population was
anything but cooperative.
Gangs were and still are rife.
Escalante taught math. One
day he stood up in a teachers
meeting, stunning them with
the announcement that he
wanted to teach calculus. The
most sincere of his opponents
felt he would grossly disap-
point an already disheartened
group of young people. But he
stood his ground and won ap-
proval to try. If you know the
story, he not only taught them
calculus but on the SAT tests
Everyone...Everyone passed.
Some wound up at Ivy League
schools like Princeton. It is
true that he brought the class
to school, to his home on
weekends and nights but they
were so enthralled at the end
that they ‘stole’ his car and
refurbished it as only those
accustomed to stealing cars
and sprucing them up can do.
That’s performance.
Are teachers at Haldane paid
on performance? I hope they
are! If they are, what are the
standards? Let’s publish them
so we all can see the results.
Ken Hurd
Cold Spring
Welcome Back,
Clearwater
To the Editor:
This Fourth of July weekend
was a milestone of accom-
plishments for me personally
and the village of Cold Spring
in general.
I woke up that Saturday
morning at around 8am and
drove down to the Depot. The
day was sunny, the village
was buzzing, and I was happy
for it was the Fourth of July.
The minute I rounded Main
Street at the red light my heart
missed a beat. There before me
was a sight that I have been
personally lobbying for since
1988. Past the railroad tracks
at the water’s edge was the
Clearwater sailboat docked
at the end of our public dock,
clearly visible all the way up
to the intersection.
The Clearwater with all her
majestic beauty was avail-
able to be seen and boarded
by everyone. The scene at
the dock was breathtaking.
I can imagine that this was
the way it looked years ago
and the way it should have
looked since the dock was
“saved” by a group of lo -
cal volunteers who worked
tirelessly to raise money and
rebuild what we have.
It was former Mayor Philips
who was primarily against
allowing boats to dock there.
We were given all kinds of
excuses: it was against the
law; the DEC would not al-
low it; the Army Corps of
Engineers, who helped built
the dock, would be against it;
there was cadmium, the dock
wouldn’t hold boats; there was
no water—you name it and
Mr. Philips had an objection.
Well times have changed
and Mr. Philips is no longer
in charge—and the Clearwater
is here—and welcome.
I now urge the current vil-
lage board that is responsible
for this revelation to make this
docking facility permanent
and to allow other similar
boats to dock at “our” dock.
This service could be yet
another source of revenue for
the village. The possibilities
are endless: a ferry service
to West Point, scenic cruise
ships for entertainment and
educational opportunities,
and a tourist attraction which
could bring people to Cold
Spring without driving cars
and polluting busses
Cold Spring truly deserves
the beauty of that sight com-
ing down Main Street and all
the opportunities that a dock
brings to our residents.
I would also like to con-
gratulate former Mayor Phil-
ips, who originally had the
idea of reviving “Community
Day” on the fourth and current
Mayor Gallagher and Trustee
Bruce Campbell for execut-
ing the day flawlessly. The
fireworks were extraordinary,
the crowd was happy, and I
hope all the merchants were
profitable. Believe me; with
the weather of late and the
current economy, we mer-
chants needed a good Fourth.

Cold Spring
Mortgage Lender
Crackdown
To the Editor:
Last week the U.S. Supreme
Court handed down perhaps
the most important decision
ever regarding the national
lenders who have been op-
erating outside the law. The
Court’s decision was that state
attorney generals now can
proceed investigating preda-
tory lending practices, for
fraud and other wrongdoing.
The decision was based
upon former Attorney General
Elliot Spitzer’s investigation
into the lending practices. The
lenders along with the Office
of the Comptroller of the
Currenty (OCC) joined in ob-
taining an injunction against
Spitzer’s actions, along with
49 other supporting state at-
torney generals.
So now the states are em-
powered to enforce laws
via the courts to investigate
these practices. Incredibly,
the OCC will not investigate
wrongdoing as their letter in
response to us states, even
judicial determinations, as
Kimberly Thomas who won
a fraud action against Wells
Fargo for $1,250,000 had her
complaint with the findings
of fraud from a jury rejected
outright.
The foreclosure actions
across the country will now
get interesting, as we have
shown with our Federal suit
against Wells Fargo.
And be sure to check the
county records to see if you
have any prior mortgages that
have had the satisfactions of
mortgage filed, as my sister
recently did and found sev-
eral paid off mortgages did
not have the satisfactions
filed, including one company
no longer in existance for
over $16,000 and another at
$44,000.

Getting Down
to Earth
To the Editor:
“The soil is the creative
material of most of the needs
of life. Creation starts with a
handful of dust. Unless you
use nature’s evidence in most
of your decisions in the field,
you may be stampeded into an
inaccurate solution.” Dr. Wil-
liam Albrecht (1988-1974).
The following interview
with Acres U.S.A. is a simple
example of the wisdom of
Dr. Albrecht’s observations.
As the preeminent soil sci-
entist of his time, he taught
agronomy based on healthy
soil ecosystems rather than
simplistic chemical inputs,
even as the chemical approach
was being introduced as the
“scientific” agriculture of the
future. This is the interview
I referred to in last week’s
opinion piece on synthetic
fertilizers.
HALF-LIFE OF SOILS
“I have excellent data on the
half-life of our soils. You see
the soil is like a radioactive
element newly created. When
this soil was balanced out in
man’s absence, and before
man took it over, it was virgin
soil. It was in equilibrium with
the forces of soil development
and leaching. If you start
with the desert in the west,
on the east side of the coast
ranges - because water has all
been precipitated on the west
side - that’s the raw rock with
a slight weathering. As you
come east, then it is heavier
rainfall, and you develop the
soil into more than a desert.
And the American bison lived
where conditions were about
balanced, and that’s a little
above 25 inches of rainfall.
Because when you go above 25
inches of rainfall, you began
leaching. But at 25 inches,
you’re just about balanced.
That buffalo was smart. He
had mineral-rich soil and not
mineral-leached soil.
And it’s been grown with
crops that suck only the back
teat, we’ll say, and remove
certain elements more than
others. The buffalo didn’t go
far east and west, but north

he can offer such consistent
quality and service. “We have
what I guess you’d call de-
partment heads to manage the
staff,” he said. “Fernando,
who is the number one person
in the kitchen, has been here
for 14 years. He started as
a dishwasher. My wife Lori
manages the front of the
house and the business end,
including decorating and
selecting ingredients,” Ely
continued. “Juan, who is in
charge of the dining room,
has been here 10 years. Ro-
berto makes all of our pizzas
and desserts. He has been
here for 20 years. Everybody
has input into the process.
I really believe that consis-
tency in staffing makes for
consistency in the product.”

popular with local families

pizza as well as other menu
items. This reporter took her
family to Riverview on a Sat-
urday evening and enjoyed
the Mexican pizza, which
features black beans, guaca-
mole, and other traditional
Mexican flavors. Having
grown up in California and
traveled in Mexico, we were
a little skeptical about the
cross-pollination of Italian
and Mexican cuisines, but

The desserts were equally
flavorful, featuring delicate
buttery crusts and light but
creamy custards.
Although Jim and Lori pur-
chased the restaurant twenty
years ago, in 1989, the busi-
ness has been in the same
location since 1941 under
the same Riverview name.
In addition to a pleasing
modern décor and unclut-
tered river views, Riverview
features original art by a
number of local and regional
artists. The bar and dining
room art changes out every
six weeks, Ely explained.

While out-of-towners ap-
preciate the music and the set-
ting, the series has a distinctly
small-town, community feel
to it. Cold Spring Mayor Seth
Gallagher acted as master
of ceremonies, introducing
the bands and thanking the
inaugural week’s sponsors,
Burke Electric and The Sil-
ver Spoon Restaurant. The
Cold Spring Fire Company
Ladies Auxiliary ran a con-
cession offering soda, chips,
ice cream, and water. Half of
the proceeds from the fifty-
fifty drawing went to support
the fire company. Kathleen
Pemble, herself a local musi-
cian who will perform later in
the series, was this year’s first
lucky winner and took home
a grand total of eighty-one
dollars. It may have been her
reward for lending a hand to
Nick Poholchuk, yet another
local musician, who manages
the sound system for the series.
This year’s music series
runs each Sunday at 5:30pm
through Labor Day and offers
an eclectic musical mix featur-
ing two acts most weeks. The
lineup for the remainder of
the season includes: Gandalf
Murphy and the Slambovian
Circus of Dreams on July 12,
Tiki Daddy and Uncle Wade

Week one was a near-perfect
beginning to what has become
a musical tradition in Cold
Spring. The 200-plus people
in attendance couldn’t have
seemed happier. Martin’s old
standards and Laster’s world
jazz captivated the audience.
Heads nodded and toes tapped.
Eyes turned skyward with
some regularity as bright blue
skies were savored for the
second consecutive day—a
noteworthy event in what
has been an otherwise gray,
chilly, and wet spring and
early summer. People talked
to each other, waved to friends
and neighbors. Some just put
their heads back and closed
their eyes. Boats and kayaks
played in the sparkling wa-
ters of the Hudson. A barge
slipped quietly past. Young
children danced – even though
it really wasn’t dance music.
Shadows stretched out as the
day wound down. The sun
disappeared behind Storm
King. The music series—and
summer—are finally here.

much as possible about the
inner workings of the board
before being thrown into “live
action” in September.
Evan Schwartz and Joseph
Curto Jr. were sworn in as
trustees after their success-
ful election bids in May. The
meeting also marked Kathy
Marino’s debut as district
clerk. Marino is uniquely
qualified for the role in that
she is a former Haldane
School Board trustee. She
replaces Diane Stropoli, who
resigned at the end of the
2008-2009 school year. One
of Marino’s first duties was to
administer the oath of office
to the newly elected trustees,
president and vice-president.
Commenting on the newly
-configured board, Superin-
tendent of Education Mark

district is very fortunate to
have a group of five experi-
enced board members…(who)
will help move education
ahead while maintaining bal-
ance and respecting our lo-
cal taxpayers’ concerns for
rising costs. Dave Merandy
and Mike Junjulas will make
an excellent tandem.”
As part of the financial
portion of the agenda, instruc-
tion contracts with both the
Garrison Union Free School
and St. Basil’s Academy were
approved. Also approved was
an hourly rate of $46.08 for
rental of district buildings and
grounds by outside agencies.
Dozens of annual appoint-
ments were also given the
green light as part of the
personnel agenda. Approvals
covered a wide spectrum that
included everything from ap-
pointment of the district trea-
surer, internal and external
auditors, and school physician
to bond counsel, financial
advisor, school lunch pricing,
and mileage rate. The Putnam
County News and Recorder
and The Journal News were
once again designated as the
district’s official newspapers.
Wa y n e R o b i n s o n , H a l -

was appointed as clerk-of-

The meeting also served as
the public hearing for three
District documents: the Code
of Conduct, the Energy Man-
agement Plan, and the Mentor-
ing Plan. The Energy Manage-
ment Plan and Mentoring Plan
were approved later in the
meeting, however the Code
of Conduct will be brought

to allow further discussion
and to provide more time
for public input. Discussion
regarding the Code of Con-
duct included some debate
over the District’s role and in
monitoring students’ use of
the Internet. The draft code
can be reviewed on the Hal-
dane website. Mark Villanti
explained that the Mentoring
Plan “will provide a road map
to guide the transition of a
new teaching force which will
turn over significantly (due to
retirements) over the coming
years.” He went on to say
that the Energy Management
Plan “is intended to provide
guidance to the district that
will result in reduced energy
usage, which is critical in
today’s global energy crisis.”
Trustees also had a first
look at proposed revisions
to the duties assigned to the
district clerk.
Meeting dates for the Hal-
dane School Board remain
the same for the upcoming
year. The regular monthly
meeting will be held on the
first Tuesday of each month,
with workshops taking place
monthly on the third Tues-
day. The board meets next on
Tuesday, August 11, 2009, at
7pm at the Merritt Building.

REC (Cont’d from front pg.)
told the mayor that he was
“personally offended” that
something other than the US
flag had been hung from the
pole. Over-crowding is also a
concern, and Steve Etta said
that he came by during the per-
formance and saw that the dock
was “jammed” full of people.
Gallagher, who attended the
concert and played with the
band during a few numbers,
seem surprised at the com-
mission’s adamant response.
Other than the flagpole issue,
about which the mayor agreed
with Phillips, Gallagher asked,
“what’s the problem?” Steve
Etta responded, saying, “That’s
what the bandstand is for . . .
ever since it was built.”
The mayor suggested that
the nature of music perfor-
mance has changed greatly
since, and asked whether there
“couldn’t be some flexibility”
for the music series. Mr. Phil-
lips voiced the commission’s
concern about being able to
justify saying “yes” to one
group and “no” to another.
“Guidelines must be followed
by all groups,” Etta added.
Addressing concerns by some
musicians who have performed
on the bandstand, the mayor
asked whether the commission
would be amenable to physical
modifications to address the
“acoustical issues.” As long
as all appropriate approvals
are granted, the commission
does not have any objections.
At one point during the con-
versation, Steve Etta told the
mayor that “personally, the
problem is that they don’t ask.”
This appears to be the overrid-
ing issue for the commission,
coloring everything that had
been discussed. Sounding a
conciliatory note, Mayor Gal-
lagher suggested that it was
not necessarily a matter of
disrespect, but “new person-
nel, who need to be brought
up-to-speed on proper proce-
dure.” Everyone seemed in
agreement with the idea of a
joint meeting, but no specifics
were discussed.
In other matters, the com-
mission reviewed a number of
applications for use of public
parks and passed a formal
resolution restricting musical
presentations at the dock to
the bandstand itself. Steve Etta
raised the issue of garbage col-
lection and pickup at Mayors
Park. On many occasions the
trashcans are already half full
before a permitted event takes
place. To remedy the situation,
Etta would like a lockable
dumpster to be provided for
the park for use by permitted
attractions. The commission
concurred and village board
liaison Bruce Campbell said
that the village would transfer
funds to the recreation com-
mission to cover this expense.
COMMUNITY (Cont’d from front pg.)
mountains lent their aid more
fully to the artistic and patriotic
spirit of a whole community…
A mighty cheer heralded the
approach of the parade and it
was taken up and passed along
the line by as enthusiastic a
company as ever gathered along
our streets.”
Mayor Seth Gallagher noted
with pride that this was the first
time in years that boats had
docked in Cold Spring, among
them the paddleboat River Rose
and the tugboat Cornell, as
well as the sloop Clearwater.
The River Rose offered rides
to the Bear Mountain Bridge
and back, and folks reported
that folk-singing legend Pete
Seeger sat by the dock near
the Clearwater playing his
banjo for a while. Said one
celebrant, “It doesn’t get any
better than this!”
The celebration was a boon
for local commerce.
“I think that this whole week-
end was a big success,” said
Peter Inserillo of the Cold
Spring Café. “I don’t think that
I’ve seen this many people in
town in a long time.”
“This was a big change from
previous weekends,” said John
Arguello, owner of the recent-
ly-opened Cup-O-Ccino Café.
“It was like a bank in here,
with a big line right out the
door. It was overwhelming! It
makes me feel as though this
is a growing business.”
The fire engines, the village
T HE P UTNAM C OUNTY N EWS A ND R ECORDER
trolley, and the pipes and drums
were there—including Galla-
gher, Cold Spring’s mayor and
bagpiper maker—along with
scores of children decked out
in red, white, and blue, who
had decorated their bicycles
especially for this occasion.
The Friends of Tots Park,
with strollers, wagons, and
bicycles among them, marched
behind a shiny, grass-green
banner, and the Desmond-
Fish Library contingent of two
pushed a book cart laden with
candy. There there were dogs
everywhere, some sporting
patriotic bandanas or bows.
The PCN&R, which helped
to sponsor the festivities,
paraded in two Jeeps full of
staff, family, and friends. The
most exciting member of the
newspaper’s contingent was
Lynn Greenwood, the “Putnam
Sportsman” columnist, who,
with his wife of 50-plus years,
Pat, came from Carmel to be
part of the parade. Lynn is a
collector, history buff, lover
of the outdoors, hunting and
fishing devotee, and all-around
larger-than-life character who
wore a coonskin cap and real
wolverine fur coat, giving him
the look of a Daniel Boone-
style mountain man. The pa-
rade stopped once on Main
Street while local historian
Don McDonald read a portion
of a letter from President John
Adams to his wife Abigail on
the significance of the first
Fourth of July, in 1776. Mayor
Gallagher made some addi-
tional remarks, the firehouse
Hudson-Fulton bell was rung
and re-dedicated, and the pa-
rade continued down to the
waterfront, accompanied by a
joyous collection of families,
all basking in long-awaited
sunlight after weeks of rain.
The waterfront streets as well
as Main Street were full of thou-
sands of celebrants throughout
the day and into the evening. It
was even reported that General
Colin Powell had been seen in
town enjoying the festivities.
The day was threaded with
connections to the past. Many
might recall when former may-
or Anthony Phillips proposed
resurrecting Community Day
at a village meeting just about
a year ago. His vision became
a reality last Saturday.
The bandstand area was
crowded with bicycles, fire
trucks, and people in uniform.
After a blessing by Father Bri-
an McSweeney of Our Lady
of Loretto, there were brief
speeches by Congressman
John Hall, Legislator Vinny
Tamagna, and Mayor Gal-
lagher. The bicycle contest
winners were announced by
Philipstown Deputy Supervi-
sor Richard Shea, with Brooke
Vahos winning first place for
turning her bike into the horse
that carried Sybil Ludington
through Putnam County dur-
ing her historic Revolutionary
War ride. Evan Pieghe took
second place, while Anthony
Percacciolo finished in third.
The Haldane band, directed

Fourth of July day, but there
was more to come. That eve-

a trailer-bed stage, and lots of
people danced up a storm in
the cool night air. The fire-
works were spectacular by
any standard, especially for a
small village; some say they
rivaled those at West Point.

of the Garrison School were

and their teachers left the

without walls. For many
years, this 181-acre school
forest originally deeded to
the Garrison School by the
Sloan, Osborn, and Gunther
families for educational and
community use, has been a
valuable resource for indi-
vidual classes. This was the
first time in many years that
the entire school population

Departing Garrison Union Free School Board Members
Frances DiSarro (left) and Marilyn Palefsky
The Garrison Board of Edu-
cation opened its June 17,
2009, meeting by bidding a
fond farewell to long-serv-
ing School Board members
Frances DiSarro and Mari-
lyn Palefsky, and to teacher
Sherry Martin, who is retir-
ing after 33 years with the
Garrison School.
Mrs. DiSarro has served
on the Board for six years,
three as vice president; Mrs.
Palefsky served for nine
years. For most of that time,
she has chaired the Board’s
education committee. Mrs.
Martin taught every grade
in elementary school in the
course of her long career in
Garrison.
Both retiring Board mem-
bers were presented with
special resolutions, acco-
lades, and flowers from their
fellow Board members, and
commemorative bowls from
Superintendent Gloria Co-
lucci.

terms. “She will be missed
for the clear thinking and
expertise she brought to bear
on many issues, especially
when complex legal matters
came before the board,” said
School Board President Anita
Prentice. Superintendent Co-
lucci also thanked DiSarro
for being a strong advocate
for the dramatic arts in the
school.
“Full and challenging,” is
the way DiSarro described
her six years on the board.
“A lot of good work has
been done,” she noted. “We
are fortunate to have a com-
munity that is active and
enthusiastic about its school,
an administration that lives
up to our high standards,
and a faculty that has a deep
and personal connection to
our students and their suc-
cess. The board acts as one
body and I am blessed to
have served with folks who
have been able to put their
personal differences aside
and approach issues with
o b j e c t i v i t y, i n t e g r i t y a n d
good judgment.”
Marilyn Palefsky retires
after three terms on the
Board. A former middle
s c h o o l t e a c h e r, P a l e f s k y
continues to consult for an
educational training firm.
Looking back over her years
of service, Palefsky said she
is particularly proud of the
superintendents and admin-
istrators the Board has
hired, the completion of the
school building renovations,
and the extension of foreign
language instruction into the
elementary school. “I have
enjoyed representing all of
the school’s many constitu-
ents,” she noted. “We are the
community’s school.”
Mrs. Sherry Martin
Superintendent Colucci
praised Palefsky as a leader
who “really heard the call
of education.” She said the
board has benefited from
Palefsky’s expertise as an
educator.
Both Palefsky and DiSarrro
said they intend to continue
to help support the School
District: DiSarro by directing
a school musical next year,
and Palefsky by continuing
as a member of the Educa-
tion Committee.
New board members Chris-
tine Foertsch and Raymond
O’Rourke will be sworn in
at the board’s annual reorga-
nization meeting on July 14.
Mrs. Martin obtained her
bachelor’s degree from Hunt-
er College, and advanced
degrees from Mercy Col-

Boys 3-4 Lacrosse Highlanders Beat Mahopac
The Highlander Boys 3-4
Lacrosse team didn’t start the
season strong, but certainly
t o ok their b a t t l e - h a r d ened
team to a great finish. The
opening lesson of the season
came at the hands of Mahopac,
ending in a disappointing
13-0 defeat. “This game will
measure how we have im-
proved during the season,”
touted Coach Chuck Twoguns
preparing for last Tuesday’s
season closer.
Kyle Zimmerman (12) set
the pace with the first goal
with only 40 or so seconds
into the first half. The High-
landers were off, and never
looked back. A few minutes
later Mahopac answered with
their first goal. Starting goalie
Brian Kelley (22) was not go-
ing to let a repeat of the first
game slaughter happen again,
shutting down the Mahopac
attack to one goal in this
half of the game. Midfielder
Nick DiPalo (11) stuck his
first contribution in the net
a few minutes later. Mahopac
turned up the pressure and
kept Philipstown at bay until
Henry Driscol (23) dumped
the last shot in just before the
end of the first half.
Constant pressure from the
midfield and attack ran up 9
shots on goal to Mahopac’s 2
attempts. Anthony Lombardo
(26), Elijah DeRocho (18),
Ray O’Rourke (30), Luke
Junjulas (14), Gus Dupree
(19), Ross Groombridge (24),
and Shawn O’Shea (25) were
a part of the relentless at-
tack, keeping Philipstown’s
possession of the ball for a
good part of two-thirds of
the game.
“We don’t have a lock on
the game yet, but let’s keep
up the good work,” said Coach
Brian Kelly, as he whipped up
the halftime pep talk. Kelly
kept the defense fresh for a
second half stand, calling on
Ronan Tisley (20), Christian
Mayo (28), and Anthony Pez-
zulo (31). While the midfield
antics of Brandon Twoguns
(13) and Derek Champi (15)
and Brian Kelly (22) (stepping
out of the goal) kept disarm-
ing the clears of Mahopac.
As the Highlanders ran up
another 7 shots on goal, Eddie
Joe Barry (27) stepped into
the cage thwarting 4 Mahopac
shots on goal. Evidently Barry
forgot he was the goalie when
he made a run at Mahopac’s
goal before being dragged
down by two defenders at
half field. Nick DiPalo (11)
came back for an encore,
putting a second shot in the
back of the net. Determined
not to be left out of the fun,
defenseman V.J. Fina (21)
responded to Barry’s rush and
bulldodged seven checks to
ice the Highlanders victory.
“It was not a winning sea-
son; we came a long way.”
said Coach Twoguns. “We
are only losing two play-

the younger levels, including
a 9-U team that improved its
record to 4-1 over the weekend
and a 10-U team that didn’t
just compete with Mahopac,
but won the game. Coach Tom
Patterson’s 10-U PV/C squad
posted its biggest quality win
of the season by taking out
Mahopac 7-5 last Sunday at
the Leonard Wagner Memorial
Park in Putnam Valley.
Mahopac fell to 4-4 while
Putnam Valley improved to
2-3, with both clubs giving
chase to frontrunners like Pat-

1), and Mt. Kisco (6-1) in one
of two 10-U divisions which
feature 29 teams. Emerging
from this pack will be diffi-

the best team will surface by
early August when the WPBA
playoffs are scheduled.
Twenty-four teams are up

The 9-U PV/C Chargers club
pulled out another impres-
sive victory Sunday night in
Yorktown. PV/C was led by
the strong pitching of John
Rainieri, Kevin Bomba, and
Michael Cox, who combined to
allow three hits while striking
out a combined 11 Yorktown
batters. The Chargers’ hitting
attack was led by Matt Budano,
who homered in his first at-bat,
while Jared Guski, Bomba,
Rainieri, Michael Cox, Wyatt
Beatini, and Aidan Siegal all
had multiple-hit games.
The PV/C Chargers started
their first WPBA summer sea-
son in strong fashion. The team
has made a great transition to
the highly competitive WPBA
competition.
Thanks to the strong pitch-
ing of John Rainieri, Michael
Cox, and Kevin Bomba, plus
some real strong team defense
and an amazing team hitting
attack that has compiled a
.404 batting average over the
team’s first five games, the
Chargers are legit.
“I think our team’s strong
start in WPBA is a direct re-
sult of the competition and
coaching these kids experience
in our PVBA spring season,”
Coach Irv Bomba said. “It re-
ally shows how far our town
baseball program has come
in a few short years. Coaches
Lent, Ferraro, Beatini, Rainieri
and I are very pleased with
the boys’ start, but we expect
them to keep improving over
this long summer season.”
Coach Tom Patterson feels
equally about the 10-U Ameri-
can team that played quite
well in five of the six innings
against Mahopac. “The level
of play from last year to this
year has been night and day,”
Patterson said. “It’s a great
bunch of kids who never get

by the County Executive’s
former Chief of Staff because
the County had no law
regarding the enforcement of
traffic laws on county owned
property. Anyone who comes
on County property must
obey the traffic signage
and they should expect the
same treatment if they fail
to obey the signs as they
would on the open road.
This will allow Vehicle &
Traffic laws to be enforced
on County property.
Legislator Oliverio stated
that his concern was the
enforcement. He wants
to see the signs obeyed.
However as long as he has
been here there has been no
enforcement. He has seen so
many vehicles speed past the
County Office Building’s
front entrance without
stopping at the stop sign.
If there will be enforcement,
he will support it.
Chairman Hay stated
that when it comes to
enforcement, it is like the
old saying “where are the
cops when you need them”.
Legislator Oliverio stated
that this issue has been
brought up in the past and
nothing came of it. It was
his opinion that was because
there had been no local law
in place.
Legislator Fusco made
a motion to table this
resolution. There was no
second.
He then made a motion to
amend with the following
wording: to add the word
“moving” in Section 31-
36 between the words
“regulation of” and
“traffic”. He also added a
new paragraph in Section
31-36 to read:
“Any and all traffic
devices so placed under
this law must comply with
New York State Vehicle and
Traffic Laws and the rules
and regulations of the State
of New York with regard to
the placement of said traffic
devices.”
Chairman Hay stated that
as the motioner he would
accept the amendments.
Upon further review
L e g i s l a t i v e C o u n s e l Va n
Ross determined that these
amendments changed the
local law substantially and
any action tonight would be
invalid. The local law will
be on next month’s agenda.

Lyme Disease Documentary
Screens at Downing Center
The riveting film Under
Our Skin will be screened
at the Downing Film Center,
located at 19 Front St. on the
Newburgh waterfront. Under
Our Skin is a fascinating, ter-
rifying look at Lyme disease,
an often unrecognized pan-
demic that has taken root in
our country over the past two
decades. Even more frighten-
ing than the life-shattering
disease is the reluctance of
the health insurance industry
to quickly and effectively
address the problem. In too
many cases, patients’ symp-
toms are misdiagnosed, mis-
treated, ignored, or dismissed
as merely psychosomatic.
In Under Our Skin, direc-
tor Andy Abraham Wilson
uses the stories of several
triumphant Lyme patients to
build a case for what amounts
to an unflinching indictment
of the modern healthcare sys-
tem, where the intertwined
interests of physicians and
insurance companies too of-
ten trump the well-being of
patients.
