A Guided Tour of Warwick’s PastTake a walk through the Warwick’s Historical District

on Saturdays throughout September and you’ll find theSociety’s wonderful buildings open to visit and docents onhand to conduct tours.

Starting your walk on the west side of Main Street,across from the Post Office, you’ll find Baird’s Tavern. Thislimestone structure, which is one of the most notablebuildings on Main Street, was built as a house and tavernin 1766 by Francis Baird, and was ultimately visited byGeorge Washington, who stopped for refreshments in1783, along with his wife, Martha, who slept in one of thebedrooms there.

Behind Baird’s Tavern is the newest of the Society’sbuildings - the Carriage House. Built in the 1840s, thelower floor houses a number of antique carriages, while theupper floor has been recreated as a country doctor’s officefrom the early 1900s.

Up on the knoll, overlooking Lewis Park, is the beau-tiful Old School Baptist Meeting House. Wherever you arein the Warwick Village, you can see its lovely steeple point-ing skyward. The Meeting House was constructed in 1810to meet the needs of a growing congregation and, eventoday it is the setting for many weddings, as well as a veryspecial Christmas Eve ceremony.

The 1810 House on Main Street is a charming cottagethat stands opposite the Village Hall and has had a busylife. A typical Connecticut saltbox, with Dutch-influenceddormers, the 1810 house has housed: The Olmstead fami-ly, Warwick YMCA, Warwick Library, and the AmericanLegion Headquarters, and today houses mementos ofHenry William Herbert, famous sportsman and author.Behind the 1810 House is an Herb Wheel, an authenticcopy of a classic herb garden, where you can pause and restunder the shade of century old trees. You can take in thefragrance and textures of sages, hyssop, catmint, iris, lamb’sears and lady’s mantle and take a breather before heading

on to the Shingle House on Forester Avenue near ChurchStreet.

Built in 1764, the Shingle House, with its saltbox out-line and hand-hewn siding, is of New England heritage andis unique as it retains many of its original elements. Behindthe Shingle House is the Sly Barn, built in 1825, whichhouses many early American agricultural and householdimplements. Also, behind the Shingle House, is the Lehighand Hudson River Caboose, a reminder of the importancethe railroad had, in the development of the Warwick Valley.

Finally, cross over Forester Avenue to 26 ChurchStreet, to the Azariah Ketchum House. This recentlyrestored beauty was built in 1810 by master carpenter,Azariah Ketchum, and stands as an early example of theFederal townhouse style; copied from the Manhattantownhouses Azariah Ketchum knew in New York City,before coming to Warwick to build the Old School BaptistMeeting House.

Textile Experts Give Fast-Track Courseto Local Historical Preservationists

By Nancy Owen

Margaret Ordonez, Ph.D, professor and conservation-ist at the University of Rhode Island, and co-editor of thebook Down By The Old Mill Stream: Quilts in RhodeIsland, gave a three day program on how to stabilize, clean,repair and properly store the many antique garmentsdonated to the Warwick Historical Society.

Dr. Ordonez, along with friend and URI (University ofRhode Island) volunteer, Kathryn Schelleng, spent the daysteaching enthusiastic Historical Society volunteers thetechniques of cleaning and stabilizing garments that are inthe Society’s collection, many of which are over one hun-dred years old. She previously came to Warwick to eval-uate and date some of the items in the collection.

The first day was spent displaying the clothing com-mittee’s accomplishments since Ordonez’ first visit. The

clothing committee, led by Betty Hurd, and assisted bySociety Curator, Michael Bertolini, has organized its collec-tion into those items that require both cleaning and repairand those considered to be in excellent condition. Ordoneztaught her "students" to evaluate the fabrics and styles usedto represent a particular period, assess damage, determinethe amount of work needed to conserve the garment, andprioritize the items to be repaired. As Susan Logothetissaid, "It was like being a CSI detective," because the grouphad to determine whether a stain was made by blood, rustor food before it can be cleaned. All items need to becleaned before repairs can begin.

Dr. Ordonez is director of the Historic Textile andCostume collection at URI (over 20,000 garments). Sheteaches courses in historic textiles and textile conservationand her research interests include archaeological textilesand problems in the conservation of historic textiles andcostumes. Dr. Ordonez’ university students, under hersupervision, clean and repair textiles for large museums aswell as individual collectors. "Wetcleaning (as she refers tolaundering) is the most invasive form of cleaning, andshould only be used as a last resort," Ordonez told her tenlocal "students." "Very often you are washing away historicsoil," she continued, "so maybe a good airing or light vac-uuming will suffice."

Over the next days the group was taught how to prop-erly handle garments, storage techniques and exhibit itemsin the collection. Numerous sewing stitches were taughtand practiced, as well as what needles and thread should beused on silk, cotton and lace repairs. Which cleaning com-pounds are safe to use and for which fabrics and stains theymay be utilized was another focus of the program. "Theemphasis should be on conservation not restoration," Dr.Ordonez stated, "We do not want to destroy the history ofa particular garment in order to make it appear perfect."

Following the three day program, all those presentwere excited and exhausted. "There is so much to beabsorbed, and a big job is in store for those willing to workon the clothing, quilts and other items in the collection,"offered Chairperson Betty Hurd.

‘Fall’ Away, ‘Spring’ BackBy Eileen Patterson

The annual fall pickup, provided for Village residents, isbeing phased out and will be replaced with a spring pickup.

The decision is the result of cost analysis to investigatepossible cost saving measures at Village Hall. The fall is abusy and therefore a costly time of year for the Departmentof Public Works. This is the season for them to make finalrepairs to the roadways before the winter weather sets in,overseeing the brush pile collection at Memorial Park andthe arduous task of collecting bagged leaves from residents’properties. Add to that, the job of collecting and disposingof heaping piles of household refuse that cannot be cartedaway by the trash collector.

Apart from the cost-saving measure, the Village Boardof Trustees and DPW Supervisor Sisco are likely reacting tomany complaints last year about bagged leaves sitting toolong before being collected by DPW. At a January meeting,the Board responded to a letter from a resident by sayingthey would work towards speeding up leaf pick up in 2005.By taking a time-consuming project like curbside fall clean upoff the DPWs To-Do-List, the Board is hoping to do just that.

Not wanting to take the Village residents by surprise,the Board has decided to phase out the fall pick up by pro-viding 30-yard dumpsters at the DPW site in MemorialPark; the site of the brush pile drop-off. The available dateswill be the same as the brush pile which run weekends fromSept. 17 until Oct. 30, during the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.Starting in 2006, the Village will offer a curbside springpick up.

The decision was made at a recent Board meeting. TheTrustees agreed that an additional cost would be involvedwith providing the dumpster in the fall and the curbsidepick up in the spring. Trustee Iurato noted that this is aservice the Village residents are used to and it is only fair toprovide the extra service during the transition.

A Village employee will be on site to ensure that unac-ceptable items are not left in the dumpster. Unacceptableitems include: computer monitors, large appliances, andchemical waste. The same permits that are required for thebrush pile will be required for leaving items in the dump-ster. Permits are available from the Village Clerk at VillageHall, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Village of WarwickBrush Disposal

The Village of Warwick will again have the BrushDisposal Program. Permits will be issued at the Village Hallbetween the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.

Only Village of Warwick residents will be allowed todispose of brush at the disposal site. The disposal area islocated at the Village of Warwick Dept. of Public Works sitein Memorial Park. The site will be open on Saturday andSunday from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. beginning September17 through October 30. Closed October 2 due to Applefest.

• No commercial operators will be permitted.• Brush cannot exceed 6” in diameter.• Bagged leaves will be accepted during the month of May.• No grass clippings will be allowed.

Children’s Book SigningOn Sept. 11, the Village of Warwick and the Albert

Wisner Public Library will host their first WarwickChildren’s Book Festival featuring more than 40 publishedauthors and illustrators. The event is free and all are wel-come.

The event will take place in beautiful Stanley-DemingPark, located on South Street in the Village of Warwick,from 12 noon until 4 p.m. Authors and illustrators willgather under the willows, amidst playful children and par-ents to autograph and sell their published children’s books.

Letters to the Editor

Editor,I found it interesting to read that the U.S. Department of the

Interior has found that there will be “adverse affects” on the envi-ronment along Route 94 South if a car dealership relocates to theCounty Fairgrounds. After considering all of the adverse affects ofsuch a move, I believe that I have found the one that exceeded the

‘Adverse Affects’ on Environment Along Rte. 94S

tipping point and led to this ruling. It is unlike car dealers, bog tur-tles will not line up along Route 94 South, tip up their shells andinsert placards that spell out S-A-L-E

Summer in Warwick - What A Great Place To Be A Kid!

By Lisa Rice

Growing up a Warwickian definitely has its perks, and the fullschedule of summer activities available for children is a perfectexample. Varying costs, length and duration of programs and themany assorted activities ensured that there was something forevery family's schedule and budget.

It all began before school even ended. As the children beganto wind the school year down after the extended Memorial Dayweekend, they were treated to the Annual St. Stephen's Carnival,which began on June 2 with a pay-one-price night.

To end the school year, children had another pay-one-priceopportunity at the Annual Warwick Fire Department Carnival. InJuly, Orange County held their Annual Fair in Middletown, withnearby Sussex County's Fair in mid-August. Also in August,Florida held their 4th Annual Florida Family FunFest.

The Recreation ProgramsWarwick Recreation hit the ball out of the park this year,

offering track and field, basketball, football, soccer, tennis, cheer-leading, the park program and the ever popular, always bookedup, swimming program, at no cost to the children in the schooldistrict. The one-hour programs met a couple or several days eachweek in varying times throughout the day.

Pine Island Park Summer Recreation program offered anextended camp-like program, similar to the Warwick Rec. Parkprogram. The program ran Monday through Friday from 9:30a.m. – 2 p.m. (weather permitting), and offered sports and crafts,water fun days, ice cream days, a carnival and outings to the Beachin Greenwood Lake. There also was a performance of the show,“Narnia” at the Tri-State Actors Theater in nearby Sussex. Themodest cost for this program was $35 per child or $60 per familyfor the six-week duration of the program.

The Village of Florida also held a recreation park program,available to students in the Florida School district at no cost. Theprogram met daily over the summer and offered a variety of activ-ities to the local children.

Vacation Bible SchoolsFor the most part, Safaris were the theme at this year's

Vacation Bible Schools. For a small donation to the church for thecost of running the program, children are treated to inspirationalgroup activities for a weeklong journey of faith. Most programsran approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours, with some offered during theday, and others opting for evenings.

The Warwick Assembly of God was one of the first programs,beginning June 27 with an evening program: "Serengeti Trek." St.Stephen's ran their "Kingdom of the Son" program in mid-July.Calvary Baptist ended July with their "Serengeti Trek" program.

August brought a "Safari Adventure" at St. Peter's EvangelicalChurch in Pine Island; a week of fun at Good Shepherd, and "TheSerengeti Trek" at Warwick Reformed Church. Going in anotherdirection, The Bellvale United Methodist Church brought westernadventures with the Circle "G" Ranch VBS program.

Many of these programs sent VBS-ers home with T-shirts,music CDs and, of course, crafts.

Specialized ActivitiesCamp-like specialty programs were also offered throughout

the area. Featuring programs by the hour, day or week, there wassomething for everyone's taste. A variety of programs for youngerchildren were offered at The Kids Club House, featuring themedweeks full of music, stories, puppetry and free play.

Sports Fitness and Fun, Frozen Ropes, Mad Science, all offeredspecialized programs for school age children involving gymnastics,baseball and science respectively. Keeping with the frenzied releaseof the new Harry Potter book, Mad Science even offered a week forYoung Wizards!

The Winslow Therapeutic Center offered young horse-loversthe opportunity to learn to ride and experience other horse-relat-ed activities. Warwick Soccer Metrostars held a player develop-ment Summer camp for young soccer players. Camp programswere also offered at United Martial Arts Centers, Camp Warwick,through Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts.

Academic ProgramThe Albert Wisner Library and the Florida Library both held

summer reading programs, which included getting ready forkindergarten, to more advanced programs for older children.

The Warwick Valley School District offered a large variety ofprograms which included getting ready for kindergarten, musiclessons, crafts, language, science, cooking, cheerleading, computerand more for students in the district at varying fees, dependentupon program length and material costs.

Even with all this, there are probably even more programs thatprovided an enjoyable experience to the children and wereunavoidably overlooked. But one thing is certainly not overlookedin our community, and that is the enrichment of our children.

On Tues., Sept. 6 children will return to the "daily grind" of anew school year, each bringing with them new experiences from atruly beautiful summer vacation; and probably welcoming theopportunity to sit in one place for long periods of time.

Young campers braved the heat during this summer's PineIsland Recreation program, but had a great time on "Wet

Wednesdays" and "Ice Cream Days."

“The members of SACHA,” said Gloria Okon, presi-dent of the organization, “work very hard on our annualJune Party. However, all our time and effort is worthwhilebecause of the equipment we are able to purchase for ourhospital. These items serve various departments on theWarwick Healthcare Campus and, in turn, benefit theentire community.

Village of FloridaBy Mayor Jim

Pawliczek

This article is my way of communicating withyou, the residents of the Village of Florida, on a reg-ular basis. Any opinions expressed are strictly myown.

Monday Sept. 5, is Labor Day. All non-essentialvillage services will be temporarily suspended inobservance thereof. Garbage pick-up for the entirevillage will be conducted on Tues., Sept. 6.

Once again the ever-ominous ‘First Day ofSchool’ is upon us. A true life ‘reality show’, it will befeatured beginning next Tues., Sept. 6, in every ham-let, village, town and city, and all will be required toparticipate. Bearing this in mind, let us be morethoughtful of safety issues when driving our vehi-cles, especially on Main Street. The locations forcrosswalks in the village are; one at the GlenmereAvenue intersection and the second at the entranceto S.S. Seward. Please remember it is a state law togive pedestrians the right-of-way at crosswalks andplease be more alert to the difficult job our crossingguards must perform during the days that school isin session. Remember that it is the sole responsibili-ty of the driver to be in control of his vehicle at alltimes.

In a recent article I mentioned the issue of dogowners walking their pets on village streets whohave obviously ‘forgotten’ they are responsible forthe clean-up that goes with pet ownership. Please bereminded that this problem persists and should beremedied. We appreciate your anticipated coopera-tion.

Wildcat’s Take on Newburgh in Non- Conference Challenge

Derek Hrinya will lead the Wildcats’ rushing attack.

FFA Officers Go Up & Overteam would catch the ball, and tell Mrs.Colgan a word that described, or was relat-ed, to an FFA activity. Mrs. Colgan wrotethe word on a piece of paper and the mem-ber who caught the ball would serve it backover the net. This game led into the finalactivity, where everyone was paired inteams of two. The teams had to get fromone side of the marked area to the otherside by stepping on, and picking up thepapers with the words on them, then writeand present an informational speech aboutthe FFA, using the words on the pieces ofpaper.

The day was made possible because ofan ongoing relationship the FFA has withthe Rogowski Family. Members helped theRogowskis plant seeds in their greenhousein the spring and in return, the Rogowskifamily held the officer training day on theirfarm. A special thanks to the RogowskiFamily for the use of their farm and thedelicious meal they served to the team.

On July 19th, the officers of theWarwick Valley FFA attended their semi-annual officer-training picnic at the W.Rogowski Farm, in Pine Island. There weremany activities, that not only helped devel-op teamwork, but were also fun.

The senior officers who attended were:President, Dan Geoghan; Treasurer, ChrisThiessen; Newsletter Reporter, JessicaSidoti; News Article Reporter, StevenDeBuck; Sentinel, Laura Walter; BanquetChair, Jessica Troxell; Junior Advisor, JackieGeoghan; Historian, Vinny Anarumo;Parliamentarian, Greg Hodgson, andStudent Advisor, Matt Sidoti. The juniorofficers that attended included: President,Katie Brosnan; Secretary, Cristina Martin;Treasurer, Elise Pennington; Reporter, SaraLandrigan and Sentinel, StephanieThiessen. Senior FFA Member, KevinRogowski, also attended the training.Senior Vice President, Jenn Specht; Secretary,Bob Blanco, and Junior Vice President,Maggie Smith were not able to attend.

The first activity had members findinga leaf that they could identify. The officershad to share the name of the leaf with theothers and tell them their name, office, andwhat they liked most about FFA. Thisactivity helped the Junior and Senior FFAofficers to get to know each other better.

The favorite activity of the day wasclimbing up and over the cargo net. TheOfficer Team had the challenge of gettingto the other side of the net. Some of themembers were scared, but completed itwith support from their fellow membersand friends. Mrs. Colgan even went over, aswell, and she stated,“If Jessica Sidoti can goover the net,” she could too.

A “Volleyball-like” game was the nextactivity. The rules of the game were simple,as members were divided into two teams.One person from each team served the ballover the net, and someone from the other

The Officer Team extends their apprecia-tion to Mike Rogowski for installing this

net safely for the training.

"It was a bitter sweet day", said Carol

Lahti, owner and director of the Kids ClubHouse. "I am ready to move and am veryexcited about our new space, but we'll missbeing on Main St. How nice it's been to beable to run to the Inkwell for supplies, in apinch, or having Michael from The BookStore personally deliver the books we pur-chased from him for our school library.The merchants have been very supportive."

Due to the rising cost of the rentalmarket and the need for more space, Carol,along with her husband, Gary, decided itwas time to move. Gary, a real estate devel-oper, has overseen the purchase and reno-vation of the building formally occupiedby the Napa Auto Parts Store.

Where in the World is‘Hudson’ the Bear?

The Pre-K classes at Everything GrowsChildcare and Learning Center are learn-ing a fun lesson in geography thanks to acuddly, stuffed brown bear named“Hudson.”

How does a cuddly bear teach geogra-phy to young children? The children andstaff members get to take “Hudson” awaywith them when they go on vacation,weekends away or simply spend the week-end with their families. “Hudson” getspacked up in his travel backpack, alongwith his clothing and journal to preparehim for his trips. Pictures are taken of hisadventures and the families get to share, inhis adventures, by writing in his journal.Upon his return, the children get to sharethe journal with their classmates duringcircle time. This promotes communica-tion between parents and their children, aswell as in the classroom. There is always a

lot of chatter about where “Hudson” is andwhere he is going.

Pictures of “Hudson’s” travels areposted on a large map in the lobby of theCenter where children get a visual of thecountry and a sense of distance. He hasbecome a part of the Everything Growsfamily and the children enjoy nurturingand caring for him.

“Hudson” is off to Memphis to see Elvisnext week. He has also visited California,Niagara Falls, Disney World, Arkansas, wentsailing on the Chesapeake Bay, camping inConnecticut, just to name a few. “Hudson” isone sweet and lucky bear, although accordingto the children, he tends to get very talkative atbedtime. You can call Everything GrowsChildcare and Learning Center / EverythingGrows Preschool Learning Center at 651-1350 for more information or simply stop byfor a tour.

Fourteen-time Grammy Award winning Jimmy Sturr & His Orchestra have been per-sonally invited by Willie Nelson to join the stellar lineup of musical performers at the 20thAnnual Farm Aid on Sun., Sept. 18 slated for Chicago’s Tweeter Center in suburban TinleyPark, IL.

The 20th Anniversary Concert will feature Willie Nelson, Neil Young, JohnMellencamp, Dave Matthews, Kenny Chesney plus other top artists like Sturr & HisOrchestra. Farm Aid began in 1985 when Willie Nelson, inspired by comments from BobDylan at live aid, along with Neil Young and John Mellencamp, hosted a daylong musicalbenefit for family farmers in Champaign, IL. Willie Nelson stated, "It’s good to be back inIllinois where it all started. I know that Chicago is a "Hot-Bed" for polkas; Jimmy and hisband will tear the place up. I’m looking forward to playing on the Farm Aid stage, especiallyperforming a few tunes with Jimmy.

"Farmers have a tremendous impact on the quality of food that we eat," said Farm Aidboard member John Mellencamp. "Farm Aid is always a great show, but even more impor-tant is that Farm Aid helps the consumer and the family farmer work together for the ben-efit of us all."

Keeping Up-to-Date With Our RepresentativesKelly & Wastewater Blending

In opposition to an Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) proposal to expand the discharge of largely untreat-ed sewage into rivers and other local waterways, U.S.Congresswoman Sue Kelly is co-sponsoring legislation inthe House of Representatives that would block what shecalls a "terribly misguided perspective on wastewater treat-ment."

Kelly is co-sponsoring the "Save Our Waters fromSewage Act," which would prohibit "wastewater blending"when full treatment is available. Wastewater blending is amethod used by some treatment plants during naturalweather emergencies in order to avoid flooding andaddress excess flows in waterways resulting from heavyrains or melting snow.

The new guidelines proposed by the EPA, however,would no longer limit wastewater blending to suchextraordinary wet weather emergencies. Instead, theywould broaden circumstances under which filtered-but-untreated human sewage could be blended with fully treat-ed wastewater before it is discharged into surroundingwater bodies. Kelly said that routine wastewater blendingwould increase sewage pollution and threaten publichealth.

"The mere thought of routinely allowing humansewage, that is only partially treated, to be dumped into ourlocal waterways is very disturbing," Kelly said. "Blending

waste streams at times other than natural emergencies willresult in an unnecessary discharge of harmful contami-nants into our waters. We have a responsibility to fully treatall wastewater, and the EPA's proposal to skip the criticalsecondary treatment step and allow more bacteria into ourlocal water sources is simply wrong."

The secondary biological treatment process to removebacteria and pathogens from sewage has been in place fordecades in order to protect the public from waterborne ill-nesses. Kelly and others in Congress seek to preserve theselong-standing standards. In addition to the "Save OurWaters from Sewage Act," Kelly is supporting an amend-ment expected to be offered this week to the InteriorAppropriations Bill that would similarly block the EPAfrom finalizing its proposed sewage dumping policy.

Morahan & Service for Migrant Farm WorkersSenator Thomas P. Morahan announces that the New

York State Department of Labor, Office for MigrantWorkers in Orange County, will be providing services formigrant workers seeking farm jobs at its new location inGoshen, following the closing of a facility in Pine Island.The State Department of Labor is providing the full fund-ing for The Farm Worker Center, also known as "TheAlamo," located at 890 Pulaski Highway in Goshen.

Orange County Executive Edward Diana had contact-ed Senator Morahan, about the pending impact to theOrange County farm community resulting from the clos-

ing of the Pine Island facility. The Senator contacted theState

Department of Labor to discuss NYS employmentservices to migrant workers. For information on the serv-ices provided by the NYS State Department of Labor at theFarm worker Community Center, the public is invited tocall (845)-651-7100.

Rabbitt Calls for New Yorkers to Donate BloodNew York is currently experiencing a severe shortage

of blood in its blood banks, forcing the American RedCross to ration its supplies throughout the state. There isless than a two-day supply of some types of blood, and theamount of O negative and O positive blood types are atdangerously low levels.

Due to this dangerous shortage, AssemblywomanAnnie Rabbitt encourages every able New Yorker to donateblood as soon as possible. When you donate blood, you'rehelping save lives and giving back to the community.

Giving blood will ensure that the safest possible bloodsupply is readily available whenever and wherever needed,whether that it is for local use, for our military, for otherblood centers or the more than 5,000 hospitals nationwide.

According to the Red Cross Web site, people can safe-ly donate blood every 56 days.

For more information on donating blood, visit theRed Cross Web site or call the agency toll-free at (800)GIVE-LIFE (448-3543).

SPORTS FANS!I BET YOUDIDN’TKNOW

Scoring 13 runs in one inning of a major league is rareenough, but doing it twice in one season? It had never hap-pened until the Yankees accomplished the feat in two sepa-rate games during the first half of the 2005 season.Amazingly, they did it both times against Tampa Bay, mak-ing the Devil Rays the only team to give up 13 runs in oneinning twice in a season. On April 18th, the Yankees scored13 times in the second inning and won the game 19-8.Then on June 21st New York again posted 13 runs againstthe Rays in a single stanza, winning that one 20-11.

tomers to place wagers on just about anything. But get thisone. After British native Tim Henman failed to winWimbledon in 2005, the odds of his ever capturing themost famous tournament in tennis were established at 25-1. At the same time, the odds on Rose Henman ever win-ning the women’s title at Wimbledon were set at 100-1.What makes this downright bizarre is that Rose is Tim’sdaughter, and she was two years old when the odds werereleased.

The track hostssprint car races from March through October, it’s thefastest of its kind in the country – and it just happens to bewhere a bunch of NASCAR and open-wheel stars firstmade names for themselves. The list includes A.J.

The Warwick Town Park, located at Union CornersRoad, between Florida and the Hamlet of Edenville, ishome to the best “Disc Golf Course in the Nation.” So saysthe World’s Champion Disc Golf players, who participatedin the Skyland’s Classic Disc Golf Tournament. The two-day event had players competing for cash prizes totaling$17,600. The National Tournament was coordinated byDan Doyle of Brakewell Steel Fabricators, located in theIndustrial Park in Chester. Brakewell Steel Fabricators andBrooklyn Brewery sponsored this amazing event.

Dan, a passionate Disc Golfer himself, was approachedto host this event at the Warwick Town Course, one ofmany Disc Courses he has designed. Brooklyn Breweryalso jumped on board and made the Tounament a real suc-cess. With the tireless help of Lesli Demark, Dan Doyle setout to organize a first class event that drew 76 participantsfrom 25 states, as far away as California. There were tworounds each day on this 18 basket course, that windsthrough the open park, then through the thickness of thewoods. Disc Golf, one of the fastest growing sports in theUnited States, is similar to Ball Golf in rules, terminologyand strategy.As there are different clubs in Ball Golf, thereare different discs for Disc Golf. They are by no means

compatible to Frisbees.The Skyland’s Flying Disc Club, who proudly hosted

this event, stated they could not have done it without thehelp of the Warwick DPW who were always ready to helpand maintain the park to perfection. Also contributing tothe events’ success were community sponsors, whichincluded The Edenville Deli on Edenville Road and TheLobster Pier in Chester. Food was donated by the WestBearfort Shopping Village in West Milford, and Country

Roads Deli for Saturday Night’s Players Party. Franico’sPizza, Tuscan Cafe, Beverage Plus, Country Chevrolet andValley View Pub donated prize money.

The Warwick Valley Winery donated gift baskets forevery player, as well as a bottle of Doc Cider. PenningsFarm Market donated fruit and many said the apples andpears were exceptional. The Inkwell in Warwick and

Leadership has its responsibilities.

It means being a primary source for comprehensive, quality healthcare

delivered through a unique blend of high technology and the most

qualified doctors, nurses and technicians.

It requires the capabilities, skill and vision to consistently offer the

finest continuum of care - from birth to end of life and a range of essential

medical and surgical services in between.

It is being the lifeblood of our community’s healthcare needs with the many vital services

and facilities on our Warwick campus including: Mount Alverno Center Adult/Assisted Living

Residence, Schervier Pavilion skilled nursing facility, Day-At-A-Time adult day care, and the

Hudson Valley region's newest state-of-the-art digital imaging center.

It’s why for 130,000 people in Orange County, New York and northern Passaic and Sussex

Counties in New Jersey, St. Anthony Community Hospital is more than a hospital, we are

neighbors - for life.
