Arrest in Marcinak Murder
Lake Peekskill youth charged with second degree murder; planned on robbing Garrison Garage
by Eric Gross
Sheriff Donald Smith an-
nounced the arrest Tuesday
of a Lake Peekskill man in
connection with the senseless
killing of John Marcinak, the
popular owner of the garage
and towing business on Dec.
31, 2008.
Anthony Grigoroff, 18, of
52 Morrissey Drive in the Lake
Peekskill section of Putnam
Valley faces a murder charge
carrying a prison term of 25
years to life. He also was
charged with criminal pos-

Spurred by Quad, Village Might Welcome More Boats
by Michael Mell
The Cold Spring Village
Board workshop on June 2,
2009, began with a public
hearing on a proposed lo-
cal law to amend the Village
Code regarding the docking
of boats. At present no boat
of any kind is permitted to
dock at Waterfront Park. The
proposed amendment would
give the board the power to
grant exemptions from this
law for temporary docking.
Spurred by the Quadricenten-
nial and the upcoming Com-
munity Day, the amendment
would allow boats such as the
Clearwater and Woody Guth-
rie to dock at Cold Spring. A
permit will be required and
fee paid to the village. “The

counts of attempted burglary.
The sheriff told a news con-
ference attended by Janet
Marcinak and her children,
Julie, 14; John, 10; and Joey,
8, that investigators arrested
Grigoroff earlier in the day
at the Putnam Correctional
Facility where he is serving
an unrelated DWI conviction.
Grigoroff was arraigned by
Putnam County Judge James
Reitz and was ordered back
to jail without bail.
Sheriff Smith said the ar-
rest warrant was issued after
a Putnam County grand jury
accused Grigoroff of shooting
Board views this as a first
step,” said Mayor Gallagher,
“toward opening up Dock-
side.” He continued saying
that, “right now we are look-
ing to have boats that will
be of interest to the public.”
Trustee Falloon added, “this
is a trial only,” that if suc-
cessful could open the way
for further development.
Although the proposed
amendment is very narrowly
defined, many in attendance
viewed it as a precedent that
could cause problems in the
future. “We should take care of
potential issues,” said Karen
Dunn, a former Village Trustee
who lives near the boat Club,
“before they become actual
problems.” There was much
concern expressed about how

and killing Marcinak when
he interrupted the suspect
and “one or more other per-
sons” who were attempting
to burglarize the garage on
New Year’s Eve Day.
Smith said the investigation
was continuing: “Because the
charges are pending before
the court and the inquiry is
on-going, the Sheriff’s De-
partment is unable to com-
ment about the case with more
specificity at this time. This
case will be tried in court as
the law demands and not in
the public or by the media.”
Following the 20 minute
permits will be issued, what
future boat access will be,
and what possible adverse
effects might be to the im-
mediate neighborhood. Ex-
amples of late-night noise
from vessels docked at the
park or anchored nearby were
described by many. Ms. Dunn
cited chapter and verse from
the Village Code stating that
after 10pm noise must not be
audible farther than 25 feet
away. The board agreed to
add a stipulation to both the
amendment and the permit
itself that vessels are required
to adhere to all village codes.
Again, the mayor confirmed
that the issuance of permits
would be at the exclusive
discretion of the board.

sheriff praised his staff for its
“around the clock persistence,
unflagging commitment, and
tireless and intensive five
month long investigation with
assistance and support from
the District Attorney’s office”
represented at the briefing by
Assistant D.A. Chanas Krauss.
Janet Marcinak thanked the
Sheriff’s Department: “We
are so relieved that after all
this time the person who did
this horrendous act has been
captured. While we are elated,
we are also very sad.”

On the afternoon of Sunday,
June 7, crowds gathered along
Philipstown’s Hudson shores,
and waited. They waited for
minutes, and then hours, to
see the much anticipated
River Day flotilla of ships,
marking the anniversary of
Henry Hudson’s historic voy-
age. At last, around the Bear
Mountain bend came sail-
ing the long-awaited fleet of
dignified, old fashioned tall
ships. And with them came
the horde, and a dose of New
York City traffic: a motley
crew of canoes, kayaks, speed
boats, police boats, tugs,
seagulls, and haelicopters,
with lights flashing, horns
honking, and water hoses
spraying.
The commemoration of
Henry Hudson’s 1609 voy-
(See River Day on Page 17)
by vessels at the park will
create a need for sanitary
facilities. While there will be
temporary facilities in the park
for Community Day, many
strongly urged the installation
of permanent sanitary facili-
ties. Even now there are long
lines to the bathrooms at the
visitors’ booth at the foot of
Main Street and there are no
public restrooms at all on the
other side of the tracks. Many
residents west of the tracks
complained of persons reliev-
ing themselves in their back
yards. Roger Chirico said they
have a similar problem at the
marina. The board acknowl-
edged these comments but
did not discuss any specific
measures for the future.

John Marcinak was loved
in his community and by his

Mrs. Marcinak to know her

dom act?
Mrs. Marcinak replied: “It

the period set aside for com-

beginning his comments to the

didn’t know why.”
Mrs. Marcinak who was
surrounded by her children
broke down. “Why did this
man have to kill my hus-
band? John would have given
him anything he wanted. He
wouldn’t put up a fight. Why?
Why did he kill my John and
take him away from our chil-
dren and family. He didn’t
have to kill him.”

cinak’s cheeks as her children
began to cry.
“John can never be replaced

Speaking from Albany late
Monday night, Leibell told
the PCN&R that the past five
months since Democrats held
the Senate had been a “total
and complete failure. They
gave us a budget conceived by
three New York City Demo-
crats huddled in a private
room that was a disaster. Even
the rank-and-file from the
Democratic Party had no idea
what was in that budget until
they voted on it.”
Leibell said the Democrat-
Corners to Oregon Corners in

Legislator Sam Oliverio,
who represents constituents
in Putnam Valley, described
concerns expressed as being
“real. With the approval of
this resolution, only safety
issues will be addressed—not
the widening or straightening
but drainage, bridge repair, and
turning lanes, and that’s all.”
In May, during a public hear-
ing attended by more than 125
residents of Putnam Valley
and western Kent, engineers
promised that speed limits
would not be increased, while
responded, “I think I’m about
to get worse.” The audience
chuckled.
And Mazzuca was right.
Things got worse. Regele has,
by his count, come before the
Town Board on a regular basis
for the past 30 months, ques-
tioning the financial manage-
ment of Garrison Volunteer
Fire Company (GVFC). His
criticisms have centered on
three issues: the timing and
manner in which GVFC reports
its finances to the Town; the
size of GVFC’s cash reserves,
which he has described as ex-
cessive and, the role and legal

In a brief prepared speech,
Shea outlined what he sees
as the priority issues going
into the election campaign.
“I see all issues as quality
of life issues because all of

ity of life that we expect
to maintain in our town” he
said. Keeping taxes low was
first on Shea’s list of priori-
ties, to be accomplished, “…
by spending taxpayer money
on the things we need and
hold valuable.” Shea also said
that Philipstown should be “a
leader in the move to make
this a model community for
sustainability. Not just as a
buzz word but in practice.”
He pointed out that the Town
now buys all of its municipal
electricity from wind power
and that he looks forward to

subject behaving suspiciously

Summer Activities Abound Hudson Quadricentennial
at Constitution Marsh Concert at West Point
The nature center at Consti-
tution Marsh Audubon Center
and Sanctuary is now operat-
ing on its summer schedule:
Tuesday – Sunday, 9am to
5pm. During these hours,
Audubon staff members are
on hand to answer questions
and provide information to
visitors. The nature center
features several aquariums
with newly-captured fish and
reptiles from the Marsh, and
a touch table of skulls, feath-
ers, snake skins, fungi, and
other interesting findings
from the sanctuary. Addi-
tional new displays are in
development.
As always, the sanctuary’s
hiking trails are open every
day from 9am – 5pm. There
is no cost to hike the trails or
visit the nature center; how-
ever, donations are greatly
appreciated.
Please note also that there
will be six weekdays in
June – early August when
the entire sanctuary will be
closed until 1pm for bird
banding research. You can
find these dates posted on
the “Event Calendar” page
of the sanctuary’s website,
www.constitutionmarsh.org,
or speak with any of the staff
at 265-2601.
With the arrival of late

spring, the Audubon staff is
also once again offering its
very popular public canoe
tours of the Marsh. There
are four programs sched-
uled in June; three in the
late afternoon/evening, on
Wednesday, June 17; Sunday,
June 28; and Monday, June
29; and one in the morning,
on Saturday, June 20. Dates
for programs in July and Au-
gust will be announced soon.
Public canoe programs
are approximately 3 hours
long. Fees are $25 for adults;
$20 for Audubon members,
seniors, and students; and
$15 for children. Children
must be at least 7 years old
to participate. To register
for a canoe trip or for more
information, contact Mary
Charbonneau, Education
Manager: 265-2601 x 10 or
mcharbonneau@audubon.

Support for these and oth-
er programs was received
from the Malcolm Gordon
Charitable Trust, which was
created to further the Open
Space Institute’s environ-
mental education programs.
The Marsh is also grateful
to the Orentreich Foundation
for their continued support of
their bird banding research.

with long-term committed
relationships with a same-
sex partner may be on the
verge of attaining our full
civil rights. Just like every-
body else. No more, but no
less. It’s time for an end to
discrimination.
Marriage gives over 1,000
federal and over 500 New
York state rights and respon-
sibilities to a couple entering
into it. These are literally
life-and-death protections
and are denied to same-sex
couples because they are
denied the opportunity to
marry. The state protections
of marriage include medical
decision-making authority,
inheritance rights, immunity
from forced testimony against
a spouse in court, and many
other important matters. Our
tax burden, state and federal,
is far heavier without the
benefits of married status.
Our marriages would af-
fect no one else’s, straight
or gay. Marriage under New
York’s proposed legislation
is civil marriage – nothing to
do with anyone’s church or
religion. It’s time for New
York to move forward. No
more excuses.
I congratulate Sandy Galef
on her vote for marriage
equality in the State Assem-
bly, and urge Vinnie Leibell
to vote in favor of marriage
equality in the State Senate.

ReVITALIZATIoN pLAN
On Thursday, June 18th, 2009, the Special
Board for the Comprehensive Plan/LWRP will
be holding a public meeting at the Cold Spring
Fire House to review the following document.
The information contained in the document is a
synthesis of data and opinion gathered by vol-
unteer residents over the past 30 months both as
inventories of what exists in Cold Spring now
and as a result of a series of public meetings and
PersPectives
the written survey. The purpose of the upcoming
meeting is to ask if the vision and goals accu-
rately reflect what village residents are thinking
about the future of our village.
At 6:45 the doors will open, and the meeting
will start promptly at 7:00 PM and will end at
9:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served prior
to the beginning of the meeting.
T h e R e p o RT
Cold Spring residents love their village, with
its traditional small-town character, its long
history and special sense of community, and its
location on the Hudson River in one of the most
scenic sections of the Hudson Valley. We, the
members of the Special Board charged by the
Board of Trustees with creating a Comprehensive
Plan/Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan for
extensive data and comments about the wishes
of the people living here. What follows is our
understanding of what residents believe to be the
most important values for the community. This
vision for the village has at bottom the desire
of those who live and work here to retain its
special character over the next 20 years, while
recognizing both its fragility and the need to
maintain the economic vitality of the community.
Editor’s note: In preparation for their June 18
meeting, Cold Spring’s Special Board for the
Comprehensive Plan has issued its “vision and
goals” for the village. The PCN&R encourages
you to read these ideas and then to offer your
feedback. In service to the community, we will

Preserve and enhance the small town charm
and historic character of the village.
The special character of the village has many facets – history,
a traditional Main Street, architecture, relationship of structures
to streets and sidewalks, safety, the ability to get around on foot,
peaceful isolation yet with easy access to the resources of nearby
communities and New York City, and more.
The village is a mosaic of neighborhoods built in different eras,
radiating from the oldest sections along the riverfront and Main
Street that date from the early to mid-19th century, to suburban
developments from the 1940s and 50s, and townhouse clusters
built more recently. While celebrating this diversity, the village
might consider ways of encouraging preservation of buildings of
historic value throughout the village.

may want to consider ways of maintaining the socio-economic
diversity that underlies this participation.

Enhance the economic vitality of the village.
Strategies for accomplishing this could include making better
use of the natural and historic assets of the village, providing
opportunity for musicians and artists to work and attract visi-
tors to the village, encouraging small businesses that hire resi-
dents, and supporting home businesses and the establishment of
more overnight accommodations.
Make the village more convenient
for visitors and residents.
The village might consider ways of making parking more con-
venient and accessible, easing and calming traffic flow, reducing
noise pollution, and improving and adding sidewalks and bicycle
paths to make it easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
Improved public transportation and alternative transportation
such as ferries may also be worthwhile, as would encouraging
the establishment of more shops that serve local needs.

6 7
Ensure that the infrastructure in the
village is efficient and cost-effective.
Strategies that might be considered include finding ways of
sharing costs and exploring other economies for such services as
garbage collection, policing, highway repair, storm water manage-
ment, snow removal, and sewage treatment.
8
Make the village energy efficient as far
as is economically feasible.
Strategies could include improving village buildings and
homes to conserve energy, modifying street lighting, assess-
ing alternative sources of energy, and ensuring competitive
sourcing of energy supplies.
Limit the growth in property taxes.
The village could consider attracting commercial sources of property
tax revenue and evaluating the impact of new housing and commercial devel-
opments on the tax base. It could also consider ways of increasing alternative
sources of revenue for the village – such as through sales tax revenue sharing
with Putnam County.

The PCN&R will publish

responses to this report in the

Board for the Comprehensive
Plan at the Cold Spring

“Daycare for Baby Deer”
by Catherine Garnsey
A very young (just days
old) fawn was photographed
in the backyard of a house
in Cold Spring on Wednes-
day, June 3. The owner of
the property, reported that
for several years now, baby
deer have been “dropped off”
in the morning in her yard
while their mothers went off
grazing. When asked if she
was afraid that the babies
had been abandoned, the ho-
meowner replied, “Oh no,
the mother deer have always
come back in the late after-
noon to nurse their fawns
and to take them elsewhere.
I have watched that happen
from my kitchen window.”
“As a matter of fact”, she
went on, “last year there
were twins that stayed here
all day. I was out gardening
and the babies just lay under
a bush watching me…not
moving. I guess the fawns
know enough not to wander
away and to wait here for
their mothers. I feel as if I
am running a “Baby Deer
Daycare Center.”
A c c o r d i n g t o D r. P e t e r
Bach of the Cold Spring Ani-
mal Hospital, this is typical
behavior for nursing deer.
“There is no reason for a
fawn, who is still nursing,
Photo by Catherine Garnsey
to go with its mother all day.
It does not yet eat grass…
it cannot keep up with her
while she is grazing, run-
ning and jumping through the
woods and meadows....and it
quickly becomes a target for
predators.” He continued,
“So the mother deer stashes
her young somewhere safe
during the day and comes
back at dusk to nurse her
baby”.
When asked what people
should do when they see a
f a w n a l l a l o n e , D r. B a c h
replied, “Just leave it alone!
The mother is watching and
waiting until it is safe for her
to come back. These fawns
seem to be abandoned, even
for days…but I assure you,
the doe has taken care of her
baby. The only time people
should interfere with this
natural cycle is if a fawn is
seen walking around in the
daylight, obviously injured.
You can also tell if a baby
deer has been abandoned
if it is found lying down,
too weak to turn its head to
look at you. Then you should
call for help from an animal
specialist. However, in most
cases, we need to remember
that these are wild animals
and really very hardy.”

Flat Stanley Globetrots First Grade is Not Too Early Koepke and O’Malley Head Haldane Musicians Attend
Courtesy of First Graders to Think About Careers
As part of an integrated
reading, writing, and social
studies unit, the first graders
in Mrs. Martin’s first grade
class participated in the Flat
Stanley book project. Dur-
ing the year, Mrs. Martin
read several of author Jeff
Brown’s selections involving
the fictional character Flat
Stanley and his adventures.
In this series, a character
named Stanley Lambchop
finds himself flattened by
a bulletin board. As a result
of this “accident,” he is sent
through the mail to places
all around the world, where
friends, and family take him
him on trips, sightsee, and
increase the knowledge of
the world for both Stanley
and his readers. Stanley even
helps catch some art thieves
by posing as a painting on
a wall! Eventually, Arthur,
Stanley’s brother, becomes
tired of all the attention Flat
Stanley is receiving and re-
verts his brother to his “hu-
man shape” through the use
of a football air pump.
As part of this project, Mrs.
Martin had her students write
letters to friends and family
across the United States de-
scribing Garrison School, the
weather in Putnam county, as
well as personal experiences
with friends and family. Fifth
graders in the classes of Ms.
Klubnick and Ms. Waters
also helped the first graders
include a flat Stanley doll
that was dressed appropri-
ately for the climate in the
Hudson Valley area as well
as writings about Stanley.

sisted the first graders with

decorating their own Flat
Stanleys and supplement -
ing journal type entries in
regard to their communities
and places of interest. The
children’s Stanley dolls were
treated as “guests” taken
on trips and even to a flea
market. Responses came
back to the students through
conventional letters and e-
mail. The Garrison students
also had the opportunity to
learn about the cultures of
other areas as Stanley’s new
friends often added informa-
tion about holiday prepara-
tion and historical events.
Mrs. Martin would like
to continue the Flat Stan-
ley Project to help young
children connect with senior
citizens residing in both as-
sisted living communities
as well as nursing homes.
She hopes this project will
encourage these valuable and
vivid story tellers to share
the stories of their youth or
present day experiences with
an eager young audience.

State Library Launches 2009
Summer Reading Program
The New York State Library
launched the 2009 New York
Statewide Summer Reading.
The annual free program is
offered in more than 1,100
public libraries and branch
libraries throughout the state.
In eight years, participation
has increased by 300 percent,
with more than 1.5 million
participants last year.
“In these economically
challenging times, more and
more families are seeking
ways to involve with sum-
mer activities that are fun,
inspiring and engaging, while
not straining the family bud-
get,” said Cannell, featured
speaker at this event. “Public
libraries offer great resourc-
es for kids throughout the
summer, and the New York
Statewide Summer Reading
Program offers ways for kids
of all ages to be creative at
their local libraries.”
Two new summer reading
themes for this year were an-

through active participation.
Nonfiction literary selec-
tions were also explored as
traditional as well as nontra-
ditional roles were examined.
The youngsters shared their
oral career presentations
along with their work-related
outfits for an audience of
eager listeners in the primary
level classrooms. The first
grade teachers plan to invite
family members from a va-
riety of employment sectors
to visit the classrooms to
expand upon and demonstrate
changes in technology in the
world of business.

reading and encourage visits
to the public library. “The
New York Statewide Sum-

improve reading capabilities
over the summer, which in
turn leads to achievement

year,” said Commissioner
Mills.
A recent study by chil -
dren’s publisher Scholas -

children rarely or never read
for fun, and that percentage
increases as the child ages.
In addition, approximately 25
percent of children polled in-

finding books that they would
actually want to read. Pub-

Will perform community service in
rural areas and live with locals
On Sunday May 24, many
downtown Cold Spring shop-
pers enjoyed baked goods
while contributing to help
less privileged communities
of Latin America.
This particular bake sale
was held by Claire Koepke
and Grace O’Malley, both to
be seniors at Haldane. Claire
and Grace are giving several
weeks of their summer break
this year to help build much
needed community infrastruc-
ture in rural Latin America.
The funds that they raised will
contribute towards purchasing
building materials and tools.
Grace will travel to the
Dominican Republic to help
construct a water storage tank
in a community of 400 people.
Currently the community has
very limited access to potable
water, and the tank will help to
both store water and distribute
the resource more evenly.
Claire will find her new
summer home in a rural com-
munity of Costa Rica where
she will help to construct a
community kitchen that will
be shared and utilized by the
families when they gather for
community-wide events.

2009 Summer Institute.
Each summer, HVWP invites
a cohort of educators to study
literacy development and the
teaching of writing in a re-
laxed, collegial atmosphere on
the SUNY New Paltz campus.
Participants share best teach-
ing practices as they write
and examine recent research
on literacy. This program, co-
sponsored by the Mid-Hudson
Teacher Center and the School
of Education at SUNY New
Paltz, features experienced
facilitators and presenters,
including university profes-
sors and veteran classroom
teachers.
Claire and Grace’s work will
involve manual labor such as
hauling and sifting sand to
mix cement, shoveling dirt
to build a gully and laying
stones and bricks.
Both young Cold Spring
women are part of Global
Routes teen volunteer group
and will work alongside com-
munity members. They will
live with local families during
their stays and will experience
life as locals.
Global Routes offers teen
summer community service
programs for students finish-
ing the 9th through 12th grades
and teaching internships for
students 17 years of age and
older in Belize, China, Costa
Rica, the Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, Ghana, India, Kenya,
Mexico, Nepal, Peru, Tanza-
nia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Claire and Grace are moti-
vated by the desire to experi-
ence very different cultures,
learn through immersion in
the Spanish language, and act
as ambassadors of goodwill
from the United States.
Ms. Merando, who is on
schedule to receive her Mas-

Holocaust Survivor Urges
Students to ‘Never Forget’
Pictured are, left to right,
Mrs. Shorr’s husband,

Alcott (Susannah and Sarah’s
mother), Sarah Hershey, and
Anita Schorr.
Anita Schorr, a Holocaust
survivor, spoke to students in
Brian Ogden’s Global His-
tory classes. Sarah Hershey,
a Haldane 10th grade stu-
dent, had heard her speak at
Buck’s Rock Camp in New
Milford, Connecticut, and
felt very strongly that she
wanted her peers to share the
experience. Sarah presented
her proposal to Haldane High
School Principal Brian Alm
and Social Studies Teacher
Brian Ogden. Sarah stated,
“When people read about the
Holocaust it doesn’t quite hit
them as much as when they
actually hear about it from
someone who lived through
it. We have to keep people
aware of it so that it can
never happen again.”
The students were mes-
merized by the presentation.
They were absolutely silent

The day consisted of a Super
Panel on career opportuni-
ties in the recording industry
and also professional perfor-
mances. The program was
open to students interested
in a career in music and/
or the music industry. The
Haldane participants included

and Liz Richter.
and obviously touched by the
horrors that Ms. Schorr spoke
about. They were amazed
that she was able to survive
after the terrible things that
had been done to her. Global
History student, Ana Ally
was especially touched upon
hearing, “I felt that my life
was sliding away and disap-
pearing. Most of the worst
atrocities occurred at night.
It is always scarier at night.”
Eva Ally, another student
in the class, reacted to the
statements, “We existed from
moment to moment and hour
to hour. The occupation of
your whole being was hunger.
It was a chaos impossible to
describe.”
All of the students re-
sponded to the despair in
Ms. Schorr’s voice. She
told them that the people
suffering in the camps kept
asking the same questions
over and over. “Why isn’t
anybody doing anything?
Why doesn’t anyone care?
How can the free world be
silent?” Anita Schorr left
the students with a mission.
She cautioned them to never
forget what happened dur-
ing the Holocaust and to do
positive actions everyday to
help prevent it. She told the
students to take action and
not stay silent.

much for open government.”
Gov. David Paterson called
the power shift “despicable,”
telling reporters in Albany,
“Once again, Albany’s dys-
function has raised its ugly
head.”
Putnam County Executive
Robert Bondi welcomed the
change: “Government created
by our forefathers centuries
ago was based on checks and
balances and two major politi-
cal parties. It is not a healthy
situation to have one party
in charge of all branches of
government, particularly in
New York, where we have
seen so many recent examples
indicating the need for a two-
party system and different
political opinions expressed
for the benefit of the public.”
Bondi also called it “won-
derful” that “Senator Leibell
is back in the majority. He
has done so much for the
residents of his district over
the years.”
The lone Democrat on the
Putnam Legislature, Sam
O l i v e r i o o f P u t n a m Va l -
ley, expressed shock when
learning of the turnaround:
“I understand philosophical
ideological differences and
I understand personal hurt
when we get angry, yet to
abandon one’s party in the
midst of uncertainty in state
for progress,” but the world-
acclaimed musician and
composer believes Peekskill
Hollow Road must be “left
rural. The only people who
will benefit from widening
the road will be ambulance
drivers and tree surgeons.”
Legislator Vincent Tamagna
who also represents constitu-
ents in Putnam Valley while
serving as vice chairman of the
legislature and chairman of the
Physical Services Committee,
promised that the renovations
would “protect the character
of this community. No part of

struction.”

proposals.” The impression
was that good things had hap-
pened and perhaps negotia-
tions were on track toward a
resolution.
That impression was im-
mediately dispelled when the
floor was opened for public
comment. The teachers rose
as a group and a prepared
statement was read that shed
a completely different light on
the recent negotiation session.
The statement, read by GTA
spokesperson Mary Foppiano,
was brief and to-the-point,
lasting no more than a couple
of minutes. The teachers do not
feel the meeting went well, she
indicated, and, instead, think
they “went a couple of steps
backward.” They proceeded
to identify three main issues:
they have been working for
704 days without a contract;
there have been only three
meetings over the past six
months, and they felt insulted
by the attitude expressed by
the school negotiators at the
May 18 meeting. They thanked
the board and, apparently only
having planned to speak their
piece, prepared to leave.
On their way out, Board
President Prentice asked Ms.
Foppiano whether she had
been present at the May 18
meeting. She replied that she
had not, but “had been given
a complete report.” Trustee
Jim Cannon asked Ms. Fop-
piano whether she knew that
he and the other school nego-
tiators had asked to continue
the May 18 meeting, but were
told by the union’s attorney
that “the teachers had already
left.” He then reaffirmed the
board’s desire to “reach out”
and meet again in June and
over the course of the summer.
The teachers did not seem
mollified by Cannon’s offer.
Several teachers complained
they felt the board should
have been the one to initiate
contact for another meeting.
Continuing to speak on the
board’s behalf, Mr. Cannon
responded, asking why the
union did not contact them.
One teacher said the union
had emailed possible dates,
but that the board did not even
“give them the courtesy” of
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
a reply. The finger-pointing
continued with frosty, formal
tones, barely masking evident
frustration on both sides.
In an attempt to break the
verbal logjam, Trustee Eric
Jacoby suggested it was clear
both sides wished to talk and
perhaps they should meet with-
out legal counsel present. The
suggestion gave both sides
pause and seemed to ease the
tension slightly. Mr. Cannon
again reiterated that they “have
wanted to settle the contract
since the start,” and asked
whether the teachers “wanted
to set a date.” Foppiano re-
sponded that they would be
forwarding possible meeting
dates the next day. At this
point the discussion ended
and the teachers left. It is not
clear whether the exchange
will result in a significant
change or more of the same.
Board discussion afterward
opened the door a little into
the nearly two-year negotia-
tion process, in which little,
if anything, has been made
public. An agreement made
early on between the parties
not to make public comments
on the progress of negotia-
tions has left Garrison resi-
dents in the dark. Ostensibly
to prevent rumors that might
hamper the talks, this virtual
“code of silence” seems not
to have been effective, nor
has it been conducive to a
speedy resolution. In defense
of the school’s position, Ms.
Colucci said that the Public
Employee Relations Board,
which governs the process,
leaves them little room to ma-
neuver. When the negotiation
went to arbitration, “all sched-
uling was at the discretion of
the mediator.” The mediation
was not successful, and at the
May 18 meeting the teachers
asked for a “fact finding.”
Resident and frequent meet-
ing attendee Gordon Stewart
asked what a fact finding is.
Ms. Colucci explained that it
depends on who the fact-finder
is. “Sometimes it is set up as a
hearing,” she said, “with both
sides presenting their cases,
and other times the fact-finder
acts as a mediator.” In the lat-
ter case, “they will pick a few
issues they feel are germane
for investigation.” Neither the
Board nor the teachers have
any input into who the fact
finder will be or when one
might be assigned. Nor does
either party have input into
which direction the proceed-
ings will go.
Trustee Fran DiSarro told
her colleagues she was dis-
tressed by the teachers’
contention that things have
moved backwards. “There is
a disconnect,” she said, “in
the board’s understanding of
teacher desires.” Ms. DiSarro
did not appear to have an
immediate idea about how
the board might remedy the
situation. Since the recent
negotiation occurred between
board meetings, they have
not yet had an opportunity
to discuss the results of that
session or any implications
that may arise from it. One
suspects that the board’s ex-
ecutive session that night was
a very interesting one.
Update: On Friday, June
5, the PCN&R emailed su-
perintendent Colucci asking
whether the Garrison Teachers
Association had contacted the
Board with dates for the next
meeting. Ms. Colucci sent the
following response.
“Since I had not yet heard
from the Garrison Teachers’
Association (GTA), I suggest-
ed a date to the GTA President
this morning.  He is taking
it back to his team and their
NYSUT representative.
  Synchronizing calendars
has been a challenge through-
out this process and the cause
of most delays between nego-
tiating sessions. Since we do
have an interest in meeting
again before the end of the
school year and throughout
the summer, if necessary, I
did not want this week to end
without trying to schedule a
June session to continue ne-
gotiations.  If the GTA agrees
to the date, the School Board
has again offered to  find an
off-site location and arrange
for the teachers on the team
to be available for another
full day.”
GARRISON FD (Cont’d from front pg.)
reports have not included any
financial statements.
Regele has never criticized
GVFC’s operations or its
need for costly equipment,
only its financial practices.
Copeland’s report last week
did include one brief finan-
cial reference; that the fire
company’s audited financial
statement for 2008 would be
submitted by month’s end.
State law requires that the
audited statement be submitted
by the end of June, although
the contract between the Town
and GVFC calls for it to be
submitted by the end of March.
At last week’s meeting,
Regele focused on the legal
authority of the board to over-
see the GVFC. “Who is the
controlling authority?” Regele
asked, before adding what
might be the understatement
of 2009. “There has been no
meeting of the minds (on that
question)” he said. Regele
exchanged words with Town
Attorney Ed Doyle, who, in a
letter to Regele in March 2009,
indicated that New York State
Not for Profit Corporate Law
gives the town authority over
the fire company’s external
affairs but not its internal af-
fairs. Doyle’s letter indicated
that “internal” and “external”
are not defined. This was just
what an already confusing situ-
ation needs: more ambiguity.
The tone between Regele
and Mazzuca intensified, as
Regele questioned why he
had received no clear answers
after 30 months. He again
questioned the increase in
GVFC’s 2009 budget when
the board had requested a
zero increase from its own
departments.
At one point an exasperated
Regele said, “It’s unfair that
this has taken me 30 months.
I’ve paid my own attorney to
research the law . . . if it is
clear that I am wrong, I’ll go
away. But I don’t think I am
wrong,” he said.
At that point Russel Dushin,
a Garrison resident who has at
times joined the criticism of
GVFC’s financial practices,
asked Mazzuca very quietly if
he could ask Town Attorney
Doyle to define the town’s
rights and responsibilities
over the GVFC. “That’s all
we want,” he said.
Mazzuca responded that he
had no problem asking Doyle
to outline the town’s fiduciary
role regarding GVFC. He then
added a comment clearly aimed
at Regele, to the effect that
the polite tone of Dushin’s
question and his (Mazzuca’s)
favorable response should be
noted. With that Regele ex-
ploded and a shouting match
ensued. At one point Regele
demanded an apology. At an-
other point Mazzuca shouted,
“Who the hell do you think
you’re dealing with?”
When Garrison resident
Stan Freleich tried to ask a
follow-up question, he was cut
off by Mazzuca. Freleich has
also been a frequent critic of
GVFC’s financial practices.
The discussion will no doubt
be continued.
Prior to last week’s meet-
ing, a public hearing was held
regarding a proposed zoning
amendment to a property on
Route 9, across from the Sta-
dium restaurant. No action was
taken after Russell Dushin
advised the board that a wa-
tercourse that flows through
the property is designated as
a Class C trout stream. The
matter was referred to the
Town Planner to confirm the
trout stream designation, a
matter that should have come
to light as part of the normal
rezoning process.
If adopted, the zoning
change would designate the
entire property for business
use. A small portion of the site
is currently zoned residential.
Garrison Contracting, owner
of the property, operates a
used car lot on the site. That
use has been the center of
an ongoing dispute between
the Town and Kevin Jones,
principal owner of Garrison
Contracting. Earlier this year,
the Putnam County Supreme
Court lifted its injunction and
allowed Jones to operate the
used car lot through Septem-
ber, 2009, while the zoning
issue is resolved. As a result
of an action initiated by the
Town, the court had previously
forced Jones to close his used
car business.
In other business Ed Polhe-
mus addressed the Town Board
to question the town’s passing
of a law that prohibits soil
processing in Philipstown. At
the time the law was passed
Polhemus had an application
before the Philipstown Plan-
ning Board involving soil pro-
cessing “I don’t know how
you can do that…you took
the matter out of the Planning
Board’s hands,” Polhemus
said. “If I was a rich man I’d
sue the town, but I don’t have
that kind of money,” he added.
Councilman Richard Shea
indicated that because the
property in question also in-
cluded a residence, it was
unclear whether industrial or
residential zoning would pre-
vail. The house has apparently
been removed since. Shea also
commented that the town did
not want to see industrial uses
on undersized lots. He also
emphasized a number of times
that the town is awaiting com-
ment from Joel Russell, the
consultant drafting the town’s
new zoning code. “We have
to look at zoning overall…we
can’t do it piecemeal. That’s
not to say that you might not
end up doing processing (on
the property in question),”
Shea said.
When Polhemus continued
to press the board for having
taken the matter out of the
hands of the planning board,
he earned an angry rebuke
from Supervisor Bill Mazzuca.
“Don’t stand here and tell me
we take things away,” Mazzuca
said. “When we see something
that needs to be fixed we’re
going to fix it…a decision
was made after public input.
It had nothing to do with ‘tak-
ing away’ from the planning
board. Sometimes we take
(responsibilities) away for
boards, sometimes we give
them more. That’s the process.
It’s about what’s best for the
town,” Mazzuca said.
Earlier in the meeting the
board had authorized Stantec
Engineering to prepare the
EAF in connection the pro-
posed new Zoning Law, a key
step before public hearings
can begin to formally review
the new law.

DOCK (Cont’d from front pg.)
was economic: who will pay
to set it up and how will ongo-
ing use and maintenance be
funded? Karen Dunn asked,
“what will the cost to the vil-
lage be to set up the dock and
provide pedestrian access?”
Mayor Gallagher replied that
the cost is anticipated to be
“about $1,000,” and that it
would come from the Quad-
ricentennial funds being re-
ceived. Longtime resident
Roger Chirico said the Boat
Club would “help with ma-
terials and labor,” to set up
the dock and that he was “in
favor of anything that will
help the village.” Mr. Chirico
also offered practical advice
suggesting that soundings be
taken to accurately ascertain
the water depth near the dock
and that any existing drawings
be reviewed. His suggestions
received the approbation and
thanks of the board.
The general consensus of
t h e board a n d t h o s e pres -
ent seemed to be in favor of
proceeding. In the absence of
Trustee Campbell, who was
delayed, the mayor postponed
the vote until the June 3 meet-
ing, where other aspects of
planning for Community Day
will be discussed.
Following the hearing, the
board heard a presentation
from James Letterio, CPA, and
Susan Tucker, CPA, of Sedore
& Company, who performed
an audit of village finances
for the year ending May 31,
2008. Completely separate and
unrelated to the state comp-
troller’s report described in
last week’s PCN&R, annual
audits of all municipalities
are mandated by the state to
provide a final reconciliation,
identify problems, and make
recommendations for the com-
ing year. The impression given
by Mr. Letterio and Ms. Tucker
was that new personnel and
procedures now in place are
“an improvement,” and that
current village finances pres-
ent “more accurate informa-
tion.” Ms. Tucker continued,
saying that, “in past years,
I have had to spend much
more time working with the
village,” in preparation of the
annual audit. Trustee Rob-
ertson pointed out that this
also results in cost savings
to the village.
Among the highlights of the
report were a reduction in the
deficit and a closer alignment
between actual expenditures
and the budget. While the gen-
eral fund balance is “healthy”
Mr. Letterio would like to see
it increased to $120,000 to
create more of a “cushion” to
mediate the need for future
tax increases. In response
to a question from Gordon
Robertson, about where that
particular number came from,
Letterio said that it repre-
sented, “10% of the tax value
of real estate property.” He
continued saying that, “it is a
rule of thumb” in the industry.
In other business a recent
claim has arisen regarding
access to the village reservoir
properties, requiring that a
title search be performed.
The board also voted permis-
sion for the mayor to sign
a new fee agreement with
David Rogers, of RBC, who
manages the investments of
the Fireman’s Service Award
Program. Required by federal
regulators to provide more
transparency, the village does
not expect increased costs
under this new arrangement.
Trustee Robertson informed
the board that ground would
be broken this weekend for
the village nursery. Plantings
from the nursery will be used
for future tree replacement.
Mr. Robertson asked that $300
currently in the cemetery fund
be transferred to a new nurs-
ery fund (as the village is no
longer required to provide
cemetery maintenance.)

Putnam Valley Lacrosse Ends
Rye’s Long Reign
Tigers secure 2nd Class C crown with 10-7 win over Garnets
Haldane and PVHS softball girls fall short in finals
It was a wild week indeed
for the student athletes in
and about the PCN&R region.
D i r e c t R ay s
by Ray Gallagher
None had a wilder week than
the Putnam Valley High boys’
lacrosse team, which posted
its second Section One cham-
pionship in the past five years
with a 10-7 win over four-time
reigning Class C champion
Rye last Thursday at White
Plains High.
Unfortunately, Section One
scheduled the lacrosse tour-
nament right up against the
Section One Class C softball
championship and the Class
B semifinals, which didn’t go
as planned for the locals, and
those hoping to attend.
Defending Class C cham-
pion Haldane was shocked, to
put it mildly, when the Blue
Devils were knocked off by
Valhalla, 6-3. Putnam Valley
was stopped short of its goals
when the Tigers were beaten
2-1 in extra innings by eventual
three-time champion Albertus
Magnus, the Rockland County
Catholic powerhouse who will
now represent Section One in
the NYS Public High School
Athletic Association Tourna-
ment.
For Putnam Valley (14-4),
the lacrosse championship
would boil down to the fact
that the Tigers were simply
a deeper, more talented team
than Rye this year. When the
Garnets game-planned to
lock off All-Amercian mid-
die Jimmy van de Veerdonk
and All-Section attackman
Ryan Fitzgerald, the Tigers
would need others to step up.
None did so more than All-
Section senior Dillon Chesnut.
The attackman scored five
goals, including the 100th
and 101st of his three-year
career, advancing the Tigers
into the NYSPHSAA tourna-

ment, where they’ll see Section
Two champion Schuylerville
at SUNY Albany on Tuesday.
“It’s an amazing feeling
right now,” said Chesnut. “I
wasn’t thinking about scoring
100 goals during the game,
but when I put it in the goal
and we were up three in the
sectional finals with a couple
of minutes to go, it just hit me
all at once. I was overwhelmed
with emotion. I was shooting
for five goals in my head, but
to actually do that makes this
a great day.”
His 100th tally was pure
hustle and couldn’t have come
at a better time. Having just
killed off a three-minute un-
releasable penalty by allowing
just one Rye goal, the outcome
was teetering in the balance
with the Tigers holding an 8-6
lead. It seemed like whoever
scored the next goal might win.
Chesnut capped off a physical
PV ride by popping his fourth
goal into an open cage at 8:16
of the fourth for a three-goal
lead. His fifth would be the
icing on the cake, ensuring
the outcome.
“We went on a little run
in the third quarter and they
hadn’t responded to that point
(prior to the penalty),” PV
Coach Brian Kuczma said.
“That three-minute penalty
kind of took away a little
bit of our fire from our run.
They scored a couple, but
thankfully we rode hard and
we got a nice easy one that
Dillon scored. That sealed it
for us. Rye did a very good
job of game-planning to stop
Jimmy and Fitz, which they
did a very good job of do-
ing, but it opened things up
for other guys. We have six
talented guys on the field at
all times in our offensive zone
and Dillon is one of them.”
Fitzgerald, a junior, played
a critical role, scoring two
goals and running off more
than a minute of clock on the
un-releasable penalty.
“I’m thinking, ‘thank God
the ball is on the other end of
the field’,” said goalie Brendan

at 8-6 with the Valley still a
man down.
“There are no words to de-
scribe it,” van de Veerdonk
said. “We were pretty sur-
prised when they made the
call and we were down a man.
We had to hold it down and
play defense as hard as we
can. We just ran the ball out
and killed time. Thank God,
today, Dillon stepped up. It’s
an awesome feeling right now.
We’ve been dreaming about
this since the second grade.”
PV senior attackman Kyle
Calabro scored just one goal,
but it was huge. His dodge off
the left wing resulted in a 5-4
lead, snapping a 4-4 halftime
tie and giving the Tigers a lead
they would never relinquish.
“I just saw an opening so I
took it,” said Calabro, a tri-
captain. “I was lucky. I wasn’t
going to give up today and
play my last game ever. We
ended the drought and made
history.”
Senior middie Billy Ries
opened the scoring and set
the tone for the game just
minutes in.
“It just shows that you can’t
shut down one or two people
on this team,” Fitzgerald said.
“We’ve got players who can
step up and get the job done
in tight situations. Give credit
to our coaches, though, for
making us work on every little
thing. We’ve been waiting
since 2004 for this, so it’s a
great feeling.”

it counted most, as each team
committed four errors and
blew numerous opportunities
to take the game over.
Down 4-0 after three frames,
Haldane bounced back in the
bottom of the fourth, when Judi
Barcavage scored on a triple
by Irina Impellittiere, who
then came home on an error.
Vanessa Minardi reached base
on that error and was driven
in by IF Laura Campbell, who
doubled in another run. Bar-
cavage was 3 for 3 with a run
scored, and Campbell was
2 for 3 for the Blue Devils.
Valhalla, who Haldane beat
twice during the regular sea-

in the fifth and sixth to put
the game away. Sophomore
pitcher Chelsea Lisikatos was
the hard-luck victim of several
fielding miscues, which led
to four unearned runs. She
allowed four hits and fanned
five and will work hard over
the course of the next year to
bring the title back to Haldane.

They say “birds of a feather,
flock together,” so I’ll start
this column with a couple
of stories for the birds, both
relating to sporting stuff, sort
of. Below an eave, over the
patio here, where I sit in a
lawn chair, occasionally taking
a break to read the morning
paper while having a cup of
coffee, there’s a “bait shop”
bird house hanging. It was
more of a decoration, I thought,
never expecting a pair of wrens
to decide to nest there. They
ignored the little hanging sign
on the shop that say’s “open
at 5am,” as mama wren sat on
her clutch of tiny eggs, and
maybe papa wren gave her a
break off and on, so she could
get a bite to eat.
Not sure how long this has
been going on, but while sitting
in my chair a few days ago,
I heard the familiar chirping
of a wren that perched in the
rhododendron bush a short
distance away. Then the little
wren flew to the bait shop,
perched momentarily on a tiny
wood bait box on the base,
next to the door, then hopped
in the open hole in the top
section. I immediately heard
the chirping of the baby birds
for which she had brought a
mouthful of food. With the
patio door, then the screen
door, opening and closing all
day and into the night, every
day, I was surprised they had
chosen that location to raise
their family. The weathered
“bait shop” had been hanging
for a few years, and this was
a first—I think!
Here’s the 2nd “sporting
related” tale. Carmel High
School teacher Bill Twardy,
who led his Environmental
Class in last week’s Lake
Gleneida shore planting tale,
stopped by on a morning break
today and drove me over to
West Branch Reservoir on Rt.
301. We rounded a curve, saw
what we were looking for, and
Bill pulled into a driveway,
parked, and walked across
the busy road.
Across a small inlet, a dead
tree rose up high on the far
point, but we had walked close
enough to clearly see a number
of cormorants, many sitting
on nests made of dead sticks
attached to limbs, others stand-
ing on other limbs, appearing
to be keeping a watch out for
predator crows and such. I
snapped a few pictures of the
cormorant condo, and with a
clear blue sky in the back-
ground, they should come out
fine. Why “sporting related?”
Anglers hate cormorants be-
cause they dive and eat a lot
of fish every day, including
stocked trout and walleyes.
Speaking of birds, Mama just
handed me a letter dropped in
the mail box—not by the mail-
man, though. Envelope said
“Chief Put Put”-from “Two
Feathers,” with a hand-drawn
fish wearing a headband with
two feathers sticking up. Have
no clue who dropped it off,
but it contained a two-page
“2009 NYC DEP Row Boat
Auction” notice. Timely for
this week’s column as view-
ing for this year’s “sealed bid
auction” will take place at the
DEP Operations Office at 54
Croton Falls Rd. (across from
Mahopac Fire House), start-
ing June 15 and continuing
to June 20. The City of New

The Annual 4-H Fishing
Clinic held this past Satur-
day was a success in more
ways than one. As opposed
to a couple of past clinics,
with rain and unseasonably
cold weather, it was a bright,
sunny day, cool enough at 9am
when 4-H Youth Development
Director, Dina Altavilla, and
the Oasis boys, including me,
arrived at the pavilion in the
upper Veterans Memorial Park
T HE P UTNAM C OUNTY N EWS A ND R ECORDER
SPORTS
pavilion, where the fishing
clinic program was scheduled.
Dina was not only alone with
no other 4-H personnel able
to come, she was wheeling a
baby stroller with her young
son, Dominic, a boy born early
this year. Mama and Pauline
McBride had always checked
off the kids from the pre-
registration list as they arrived,
by age group provided by 4-H,
but this year Mike and Pauline
were in Tucson visiting their
daughter, Rosie, and her fam-
ily, and I left Mama home,
still sleeping. Had I brought
her along, Dina would have
appreciated her babysitting
expertise (Dina’s Dad, Sal,
arrived around 10:30 to take
over babysitting duty, reliev-
ing Dina’s stress). Mickey
Farina and I helped Dina as
best we could, getting all her
stuff set up, and then we started
checking parents and kids as
they started arriving. We had
a few walk-ins that had to
wait until the program started
around 11am, but with only a
few no-shows, leaving a half
dozen rods, reels and tackle
bags left over from 100, we
were able to take the patiently
waiting walk-in parents and
children .
In the meantime, after sign-
ing in and writing their own
name on name tags and stick-
ing them on their shirts or
blouses, the kids lined up, and
each received their free rod/
reel and loaded tackle bag.
Then the Oasis boys helped
them assemble their gear and
assisted those who needed help
with casting. I had brought 9
colorful hula hoops for targets,
placed in the field in back of the
pavilion. Tony Montiero and
Freddy Franckiewitz had ar-
rived early with Jack Stewart,
their vehicles all loaded with
the 100 free fishing outfits,
all donated for the program by
various fishing tackle compa-
nies, via The Jack Stewart Jr.
Memorial Fund. Both Tony and
Fred also helped the kids out
in the field, and later down at
the Park Pond.
A r o u n d 11 a l l t h e f o l k s
were called in from the field
and the program started, with
Dina welcoming all, speak-
ing about the program, and
then introducing Jack, who
talked to the kids about the
various gear items in their
tackle bags, and fishing lo-
cally in general. I followed,
and Dina was pleased I kept
my comments short, as kids
were getting a little antsy,
anxious to get down to the
pond to test their new gear,
maybe catch a few fish.
Maybe it was the time of
day (noon to 3), the bright
sun, or most of the fish in the
Park Pond had fed early in the
morning, but fishing was a
little slow for the kids. But they
did catch a bunch of panfish,
one bullhead I know of, and
a couple of largemouth bass
that were promptly released
(on the small side, anyway). I
got a few pictures of kids with
fish, and I’m taking the camera
down to get developed as soon
as I send this column off. I’m
going to have to drive over to
Cold Spring in the morning
to the office and hopefully I
can get a couple of pictures
printed with this column.
I got home hungry and
whipped, but Mama and
daughter-in-law Karen took
Kevin and Kyle, the Green-
wood twins, over to the park
later in the afternoon to play at
the playground. Karen brought
bread to feed the fish off the
“Putnam Sportsman” fishing
pier in the Park Pond. The
fish were too scared to shop
up-but a huge snapping turtle
did. Mama said it was over 3
feet long, probably 50 pounds,
maybe more. The kids were
thrilled tossing pieces of bread
into the water, watching the
huge mouth of this huge mon-
ster of the Park Pond grab
each morsel.

DeStefano projects confi-
dence at every turn, “If this
race comes down to qualifica-
tions for a job, I win hands
down.” To prove his point,
DeStefano has posted a re-
sume on his website, listing
his extensive experience in
the NYPD, as an officer, lieu-
tenant and precinct captain.
DeStefano, like many in
Putnam County, hails from
New York City. He grew up
in the West Farms section of
the Bronx, among the six-
story tenements and one of
the poorest urban areas in
the country. “From when I
was a little boy all I wanted
to do was be a cop,” he says.
He got his wish, and found
himself as a young cop work-
ing in Washington Heights.
“That was where I wanted to
be. That’s where the work
was, that’s where all the
action was.” At the time,
there were over a hundred
homicides a year in the area,
and thousands of shooting
incidents.
DeStefano’s career began
before Guiliani came into of-
fice, and he got a first-hand
look at the transformation. He
recalls, “During the Dinkins
years, it was a very sleepy
agency, very lethargic. They
h a d convi n c e d t h e m s e lves
that the police department
had no effect on crime, and
they convinced themselves
it was unemployment and
other social factors. There
were no plans, no goals,

no objectives. And when
Giuliani came in he let it be
known that those days were
over. And cops were going
to start working again, and
start enforcing the laws, even
the small laws.”
As New York was clean-
ing itself up, DeStefano was
moving ahead. He made ser-
geant, and lieutenant. He
moved from Westchester to
Putnam. The closing date
on his home was September
11, 2001. It took DeStefano Peter J. Reynolds, president of the Putnam County Bar

RIVER DAY (Cont’d from front pg.)
age up the river later named
for him was a grand occasion,
modeled after the tricentennial
celebration of the same in
1909. Back then, the Wright
Brothers escorted the flotilla
up the river in their primi-
tive biplanes. Today, choppers
circled overhead. For those
viewing the spectacle from
the shores, the Hudson briefly
became as busy as it was when
it served as a major thorough-
fare for a young nation.
In the waters was a meeting
of centuries and cultures. The
flotilla was led by the color-
ful replica of the Half Moon,
Hudson’s ship, with its Dutch
flags and painted half moon, as
speedboats and a meandering
ship of tourists passed around
in frenzied circles. It was
followed by the Clearwater,
the OnRust, Woody Guthrie,
Mystic Whaler, the Governor
Cleveland tugboat, and the
John J. Harvey fire boat, which
sporadically sprayed fountains
of water into the river.
Perhaps one of the best
vantage points was from the
rocky edges of Constitution
Island, which centuries ago
was named Martyr’s Rock by
Dutch sailors who found the
river to be at its most hazard-
ous in the narrows created by
the island. Today, even the
old-fashioned tall ships have
diesel engines, and so expert
seamanship was not required
to navigate the sharp S-turn
between Constitution Island
and West Point.
As the flotilla passed, Army
personnel fired a 21 gun salute
from the banks of West Point,
blowing perfect smoke circles
into the air. The Half Moon’s
cannon then returned fire, and
the smoke spreading across the
river created the faint image of
a naval battle—perhaps akin to
the mock battles once staged in
Rome’s coliseum. While this
transpired, a family peacefully
rowed themselves through the
chaos in a small canoe.
On Constitution Island, a
crowd of spectators watched
the seven tall ships sail by,
just as the sisters who used
to live in the Warner House
and their guests did in 1909.
Up river a bit from Constitu-
tion Island, Cold Springers
watched the river show from
the waterfront, as musicians
entertained the crowd from
the gazebo.
While Hudson was the first
European to sail up the river
that would later bear his name,
Giovanni da Verranzano, ex-
ploring on behalf of France,
had seen the river nearly a
century before. In 1524, having
“found a very pleasant situa-
tion amongst some steep hills,”
Photos on this page were taken by Zac Ailes, Annie Chesnut, and Michael Turton.

Verranzano and his men called
the Hudson the “The River of
the Steep Hills.”

got its name from the lunar
phase preferred by sailors, the
moon’s first and third quarters,
known as half moons, which
produce neap tides, making for
less extreme water conditions
than spring tides. Elise Matich
The natives who lived on the
river’s shores termed it Muh-
heakunnuk, or “great waters
in constant motion,” while
Hudson reportedly called it
the Mauritius River, in honor
of Prince Maurice of Nassau;
the Half Moon would later
meet its end on the island of
Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
Once the ships had passed,
all the commotion departed,
and the Hudson was once again
still and quiet. At last, one
could almost imagine Hud-
son’s lonely Half Moon sailing
toward the stormy mountain
ahead, unsure of what lay be-
yond.
