WVHS Band Makes Music in the Park

By Katie Bisaro

While most clubs, sports teams and musical ensemblesare having their final meetings, games, matches or con-certs, the Warwick Valley High School Band is busy as everduring the final weeks of school.

On Sat., May 14, the Band traveled to Hershey, PA toparticipate in “Music in the Parks,” a series of music festi-vals and competitions held in conjunction with variousamusement parks throughout the Mid-Atlantic states andeven as far away as Ohio and Florida. The High SchoolBand, under the direction of Mr. Chris Persad, prepared formonths for the competition, in addition to their regularconcert preparations, working on two pieces: “Folk SongSuite” by Vaughan Williams and “Anthem for Wind andPercussion” by Claude P. Smith.

After the three-hour ride to Hershey, the Band per-formed these pieces at Hershey High School with an audi-ence comprised of six chaperones and two judges. As theBand played the adjudicators made copious notes andspoke continuously into tape recorders assessing the Band’sperformance in several areas including intonation, rhythm,accuracy, interpretation, and artistry. The scores were tab-ulated and compared to other High School bands of simi-lar size and the results were announced at a large ceremo-ny later in the day at Hershey Park where all the participat-ing bands were able to spend the day.

At the awards ceremony it was announced that theWarwick Concert Band was given an Excellent rating by thejudges for First Place in the High School Concert Bandcompetition. As Band President Jeff Jacobsen held the largetrophy aloft in triumph there was much cheering in the stands

as the kids from Warwick celebrated their achievement.Fresh from their accomplishment in Hershey Park, the

Band performed in their Spring Concert on Mon., May 16.Seniors Geoff Anderson, Becca Bowes, Laura Catapano, IashaDoumanoff, Mike Garofalo, Jeff Jacobsen, Melissa Kohlberger,Chuck Landrigan, and Mike Marshall were all recognized fortheir many years in the band program in Warwick.

Upcoming performances by the Warwick High SchoolBand include marching in two parades on Memorial Day –early in the morning in Pine Island followed by the annualWarwick Memorial Day Parade. In Warwick the band willmarch from the Village to the Warwick Cemetery for a cer-emony, they will continue on to St. Stephen’s Cemetery andfrom there the parade will finish at Veteran’s MemorialPark. The Band’s final performance for this school year willbe at Graduation on June 25.

Members of the Warwick Valley High School Band react to the announcement that they had won First Place in the High School Concert Band division at "Music in the Parks",Hershey Park, in Hershey, PA. The band received an Excellent rating on the two pieces they performed earlier in the day.

What’s Next for the Warwick School Budget? By Nancy Owen

In a work session on Mon., May 23, the WarwickSchool Board discussed their options now that the pro-posed budget was defeated by 15 votes. The board dis-cussed whether or not to: adopt an austerity budget, putthe same budget up for another vote (permissible understate law), or to make additional cuts and put a revisedbudget up for a vote.

The most important factor is that only one more votemay be conducted under state law and the district wouldhave to live with the voters’ decision. Several board mem-

bers originally felt that another vote should not be offered.“We need to make it clear that there will be only one voteand if people want the budget they have to approve it onthe first vote,” said Board member Colleen Johnson.

Retiring Board President Kurt Emmerich felt that thevote was not “a decisive vote and we should give people asecond chance to do the right thing. It was obvious the ‘yesvotes’ didn’t come out.” It was noted that the current pop-ulation has never been through an austerity budget and ittakes many years to get back items that are cut by austerity.

“If cuts are made and a new budget put up for a vote,it sends a message that will require two votes every year,”

said Superintendent Dr. Joseph Natale. At that point manyboard members, who originally didn’t want a second vote,decided to support a second vote, only if, the same budgetis put before the voters.

This was a work session and not a regular meeting.Therefore, the decision is not a ‘done deal’ until a regularmeeting is held to vote on a proposition for a second vote.The cost of a second vote is approximately $6,000.

A budget meeting will be held at on Mon., June 6 at 8p.m. to vote on the proposition(s) that will be put up for asecond vote. A budget hearing will be held on Mon., June13 in the Middle School Cafetorium at 7 p.m., prior to theregularly scheduled school board meeting.

The school budget hearing on May 9, held prior to aregularly scheduled school board meeting attracted asparse crowd and no surprises. At this hearing,

Bellvale Development Hearing Postponed to Next Week

By Scott Webber

A scheduled public hearing of a proposed 18-lot majorcluster subdivision known as The Gables at Warwick, Inc.has been adjourned until next Wednesday’s June 1Warwick Town Planning Board meeting. The hearing wasto have been at last week’s, May 18 meeting, but could notbe done in the absence of a full five-member Board whereonly three members were present.

The application has been in the planning stages sinceMarch 5, 2002 and has been the center of controversy by agroup called Save Old Bellvale (SOB), who are adjoiningproperty owners that have been challenging it. The publichearing began at the April 20 meeting last month. TheGables is one of four proposed developments along Route17A and Pumpkin Hill Road that would add 96 morehomes in the Bellvale vicinity.

In the only action taken last week, the three-memberBoard approved the site plan and a special use permit ofGary Lahti to use the existing auto parts building on thenorth side of County Route 1 in Pine Island for a nurseryschool. There was no comment during a public hearingtime.

The rest of the evening was devoted to review theprogress on three applications. In looking at MeadowbrookFarms,” a proposed 33-lot cluster subdivision on the north-

west side of Union Corners Road, opposite Sargent Road,the Board indicated to the developer, Bing and ElizabethNop 2, that it would like to see a boulevard-like access roadinto the project.

Tom Hamling, VP Paterco, LLC, was told to take the“Zircar” application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for afront setback variance since what they have is less thanwhat the zoning code will allow.

They are seeking site plan approval and a special usepermit for the construction and use of a small 35x80 footaddition to support their current manufacturing processon the north side of Round Hill road, 240 feet west of theintersection of Round Hill Road and Roe Street.

Looking at the Kenneth Luft proposed 24-lot majorcluster subdivision on the north side of Newport BridgeRoad and at the intersection of Blooms Corner Road, theboard told planning consultant Kirk Rother that theywanted to see a boulevard-like access road into the devel-opment.

When Rother asked why the board was so interested inboulevard access roads, Town Planning Board AttorneyJohn D. Bollenbach said it was what the zoning code want-ed done.

A boulevard is a road divided by a landscaped striprunning through the middle.

May 19Michael J. Olsen, 27, of Warwick was arrested and

charged with Assault 3rd following an incident on Main St.He was released to reappear in Village Court.

In previous “Looking Back” columns of The WarwickValley Dispatch, the Warwick Valley Senior High SchoolClass of 1935 trip to Washington, D.C. was recalled. Sincethen, Rick Paddock, found his father’s copy of a photo thatthe class had taken at George Washington’s home at MountVernon in Virginia and let The Dispatch borrow it for pub-lication. Here it is.

Everyone in the photo was born around 1917, howmany are left today? Contrast the dress code of 70 years agowith now.

Rick Paddock knew only his father in the picture,standing in the back and second from the right. The tripgoers were gone five days, first to the Empire StateBuilding, then the White House, Congress in session,Mount Vernon and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis.They liked the Lincoln Memorial the best.

Women in Black Row in Honor of SlainCARE Worker

On Sun., May 22, thirteen members of WarwickWomen in Black (WIB) rowed in the Greenwood LakeRegatta, held each year by the East Arm Rowing Club. Thewomen were not expert rowers and most had never rowedbefore in their lives.

The group rowed in honor of Margaret Hassan, aCARE worker who was abducted in Baghdad last year. "Werow to honor her life of service to suffering women, chil-dren and others, and her non-violent work in alleviating thatsuffering," said EmilyBoardman, one of the rowers."We understand that MargaretHassan herself was a rower andwe feel that this is a fitting wayto pay tribute to her life andmessage."

Although none of theWomen in Black teams placedin their races, all of the womenwho participated agreed thatthe experience had been a lotof fun and was worthwhile. "Itis a great exercise in balance,focus and cooperation,” saidBoardman who rowed strokefor one of the teams. Some ofthe women plan to continuerowing with the club duringthe summer season.

The Women in Black are aglobal network of women, who

are committed to the ideas of achieving peace throughnon-violence. WIB have been holding Vigils for peace inWarwick for more than two years. The internationalmovement began in Israel when a group of Israeli womenstood in silent sympathy with the suffering of Palestinianwomen and in protest against the violence on both sides ofthe conflict. Since that time, the movement has spreadglobally.

Letters to the Editor

Editor,I take serious objection to comments made in the May 18,

2005 Warwick Valley Dispatch.At the Monday, May 9, 2005 Florida ZBA meeting I do not

recall your reporter Colleen McAvey being in attendance.Therefore, she did not correctly report comments in your paper.

The Florida ZBA upheld their decision on the Jansen issuewhich had been taken care of with a 5-0 decision January 10, 2005on a motion made by Mr. Dellatto seconded by Mr. Paulsen toaccept the definition as read. Roll call vote 5-0.

Same night motion by Mrs. Ehlers, second by Mr. Paulsen todetermine that E. P. Jansen's Nursery is a legal pre-exiting, non-conforming use. Vote 4-0 according to minutes of January 10,2005. No mention of fifth vote which I believe was a Yes.

A revote was taken on May 9th with a 4-0 vote decision. Wenever voted that some of Jansen's actions were illegal and remainthat way as was written by your "ghost" reporter. A reportershould be in attendance if they are going to report on a meeting.

DOROTHY J. EHLERS,FLORIDA ZBA MEMBER

Objects to Comments Made in The Dispatch

Editor,Information regarding the matter of the E.P. Jansen Nursery

was received from direct quotes that were made at the FloridaVillage Board Meeting the evening of May 10, 2005, in which theappointment was made for a new member of the Florida ZoningBoard. I was indeed present at this meeting and the article was inregard to matters witnessed by this reporter at the Village Boardmeeting, not the Zoning Board. Mrs. Ehlers may have been con-fused as she was not in attendance at this meeting when theappointment to the Florida Zoning Board was made.

The 4-0 vote on the continuing controversy surrounding JanJansen’s E.P. Jansen Nursery was made on May 9, 2005. Mrs.Ehlers did not mention in her letter that there was a member ofthe Zoning Board who abstained from voting on the matter.Frank Daegle, Florida Zoning Board member, abstained from vot-ing as a large document (report) on the Nursery was given to all ofthe Zoning Board members from the Attorney that day. Mr.Daegle felt that although he did not have a problem with theprocess or the decision, he would prefer more time to readthrough the report so that he would feel more comfortable withthe decision.

The rest of the Zoning Board decided to go ahead with thevote. The decision to vote that night, allowed Tim Bushwick,Florida Zoning Board President to make one final vote before heresigned from the Village Board, as he was moving. It is alsoimportant to mention that minutes of the Zoning Board meetingis public information and an individual does not have to be pres-ent at a meeting to get direct information or direct quotes.

The statement that actions of the E.P. Jansen Nursery remainillegal, comes from Florida Building Inspector, Adrian Mateosian.Mrs. Ehlers has made it very clear to this reporter, that any nega-tive statement regarding Mr. Jansen's Nursery business and prop-erty will be met with unkind words and angry glares.

I understand Mrs. Ehlers has been a positive contributor tothe Village of Florida and the Republican Party. It is my hope thatin these environments of Democracy, that Mrs. Ehlers remembersthe First Amendment and the Freedom of Speech. If there arerebuttals to be made I would hope they are done professionallyand without efforts to intimidate or devalue the writer.

COLLEEN McAVEY

Editor,It was ironic to read articles in the press about Warwick on

May 18, the day after the school budget vote. While one articletouted our high test scores in Middle School English and the suc-cess of the Warwick School District overall, others reported on thefailure of the school budget to pass and the staff or programreductions that are being considered as a result.

In the coming years our children will be competing in a glob-al market that places a premium on innovation and creativity.They will need a balanced set of skills to succeed in this environ-ment. Our schools can no longer be a place where our childrenmerely learn the basics to get by in life. They must be vibrant, cre-ative learning environments that offer innovative programs for alllearning styles and employ top quality teachers who ignite a joy oflearning while challenging our children intellectually. This is theeducational dynamic that will foster future innovators and equip ourchildren with the tools to thrive in an ever-changing job market.

Art, and music curriculum teach our children higher orderthinking skills. Sports teach them the importance of challengingthemselves physically and mentally, and develop teamwork skills.Programs in the arts and sports are not frivolous extras in thismother’s eyes and studies have borne this out.

It is shocking to learn that only 3,289 people cast votes on thismost important matter. If our children do not inspire us to exer-cise our civic duty, who or what will? If we, as a community, arenot willing to sacrifice for the future of our children, what does itsay about us?

MICHELLE DESVEAUX

If Our Children Don’t Inspire Usto Exercise Our Civic Duty,

What Will?

Editor,The Committee of Warwick Springfest '05 would like to

express our appreciation to the following organizations, business-es, and individuals whose generous spirit helped make this such awonderful event: The LEO Club and the LEO’s Advisor, CraigThompson, for their incredible help in setting up and breakingdown on Main St.; and Betty Garrison, Susan Graf, KarunaMcGloughlin for making the art exhibit such a great success.Thanks to The Inkwell for the donation of the space for the artexhibit; Kuiken Bros. for the use of their parking lot for the ClassicCar Show, Warwick Car Wash, Harrington Speed & Auto, TheWanderer's Car Club, and The Country Gardener for all theirwonderful donations to the Car Show.

Thanks to Bow Wow Meow, Northern Bear, Dog Day AfterGroom, and U-Shampooch for their contributions to our PetShow and Parade.

Wishes All the Best to Retiring School Board President

Editor,I would add my best wishes to school board president,

Kurt Emmerich as he retires July 1st from that importantpost of the Warwick community.

I’ve only had one contact with Mr. Emmerich and thatwas on the telephone. His many years on the board and thereputation of Warwick’s school system are due in part tohis well-earned efforts.

Much, more than ever, is being said these days aboutplanned retirement and since that had much to do with mybusiness and early goals, I would ask him now to be inter-ested in how schools are largely financed through propertytaxes and who the people are who meet these taxes. I thinkof an actual story of a widowed old lady with little incomeand Social Security who still had to pay school taxesregardless of her plight.

In my own case my pension was earned over 34 yearsduring which time I paid school taxes on three differenthomes, two of them in Orange County and now in my 90thyear I’ve been paying them for some years in Warwick at anexceedingly high rate.

What I am trying to say may be quite obvious but noone seems to be doing anything to educate those responsi-ble that senior and retired people on fixed incomes cannotlive as planned in a confiscatory, school environment, par-ticularly when they haven’t had children in school for oneand two generations.

I’d be most interested in any response from the state ofNew York, educational department and certainly thosewho assess our property in the interests of education.

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.

Memorial Day, soon to be celebrated, is themost somber of National Holidays and rightfully so.On this day of reflection, some of us will spend ourtime recalling the tragic losses endured within ourfamilies during previous wars, some of us will thinkof the family members presently engaged in war-torn areas of the world, and the few of us whohaven’t suffered personally will think of those whohave. It is appropriate that we take the time to honorthose who gave of their time and in many cases,their very lives in preservation of the freedoms weare privileged to enjoy as Americans. On this oneday, at least, I will not take these freedoms for grant-ed, as I know all of you will, too. In memoriam,there will be a parade hosted by the AmericanLegion in the Village of Florida on Mon., May 30starting at Cohen Circle beginning at 2 p.m. Theroute will be through Main Street ending at theFlorida Cemetery, where tribute will be given to allfallen soldiers. If you are able, please bring yourfamilies and participate in this worthwhile event.

Florida Celebrates EMS DayBy Colleen McAvey

On Sat., May 21, the Florida Fire and RescueDepartment sponsored EMS Day behind St. Joseph’sSchool in Florida. Emergency Services from all over theCounty were there with demonstrations and information.

Side-by-side like covered wagons, the County's finestrepresented themselves, their home squads and depart-ments, and their own abilities. From Warwick’s Junior EMSto the Town of Goshen Police Department to Stat Flight, itwas obvious residents are well protected.

Also attending the event was Mobile Life SupportSystems, Monroe Village Police, the Orange County Sheriff,

Advanced Life Support, and Fire Departments fromFlorida, Goshen, Warwick, Chester, and Pine Island.

Florida Fire Department and Rescue had a demon-stration of extracting a person from a car they weretrapped in.

Demonstrations included the State Police Seat BeltSimulator, where you get to experience a minor fender ben-der. It is very surprising to all who took a turn that with-out a seatbelt, even at a low speed, they are going to gethurt.

It is also important to mention often that the majori-ty of the individuals who are on these departments are vol-unteers.

Memorial Day Services Planned by American Legion PostsAnnual Memorial Service

The Annual Memorial Church Service will be held atthe New Milford – Edenville United Methodist Church,Sun., May 29 at 10:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome.

The paradewill then proceed to the Florida cemetery on Bridge Streetwhere the final services will be conducted.

Pine IslandThe annual Memorial Day Parade and service spon-

sored by the Polish Legion of American Veterans will beginat 8 a.m. with Mass (Pastor Joachim Olendzki) at St.Stanislaus Catholic Church, Pine Island. Members willform at the Legion at 7:30 a.m. and march to the Church asa body.

Monument for their services, after which refreshments willbe served at the lower level of the Legion Hall to all whoparaded. In case of rain, the services will be held at ParkAvenue School Gym.

The Annual Memorial Day Observance has been apart of the American scene for more than 100 years. In1868, General John A. Logan of the Grand Army of theRepublic in the North and Confederate Veterans in theSouth took charge of Memorial Day ceremonies in theirrespective communities. When these organizations becameunable to carry on actively, these rites (which include thedecoration of all known veteran gravesites), the AmericanLegion pledged its help to the perpetuation of the AnnualObservance of Memorial Day. Although it began as anoccasion to commemorate the dead of all wars, MemorialDay has since become a time for decoration of graves offamily and friends.

In urging the widest possible participation inWarwick’s Memorial Day Services, Commander Ritzerrefers to the following excerpt from General Logan’s order:“Let no avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify topresent or coming generations that we have forgotten as apeople the cost of a free and undivided republic.”

In issuing an official proclamation for the observanceof Memorial Day, Mayor Michael Newhard has called uponevery household and business in Warwick to display theflag of the United States in the appropriate manner inproud tribute to the meaning of the day.

Florida Fire District MeetingThe Florida Fire District Board of Commissioners will

meet Tues., June 7 at 8 p.m. at the Fire House located at 19South Main Street, Florida.

Superintendent Dr. Joseph Natale presented a break-down of the base budget and the few requests for increasedprogramming and repairs that are necessary to proceedwith the Board of Education’s Goals.

The total change from last year’s cost to this year’s pro-posals is a total of 7.79% and a tax increase of 7.61%.These few items account for less than a one percentincrease over last year’s budget and the remainder of theincrease (6.8%) is due to contractual and debt repaymentexpenses. The total of proposition #1 was $69,750,788,“the sum of money required for school purposes for the

July 1, 2005-June 30, 2006 school year (the Budget).”Due to the unusual circumstance of having a state

budget in place the board knows exactly how much stateaid can be expected (slightly less than $20 million)—28percent; an additional $2.5 million dollars is either left overfrom this year’s budget or raised from library fines andinvestments—four percent. The remainder will be raisedthrough local taxes, a total of $48 million—68%, to beshared by the residents of the district.

“This is the smallest increase in the past four years,”stated Dr. Natale. The Superintendent assured the sparseaudience that every attempt was made to reduce expenses.He gave such examples as selecting an alternative energyprovider and refinancing some debt at a lower interest rate.

Natale also pointed out that the state average cost per

pupil is $13,000 and that in Orange County our cost perpupil (slightly over $14,000) is actually the eleventh out ofsixteen school districts. He encouraged everyone to votefor the budget and compared the cost to an austerity budg-et, if the budget failed. The total savings would be less thantwo percent of the proposed budget. The savings amountsto $108 per year for the average home assessed at $40,000.

On May 17, voters elected John Connolly, RobertHowe, Colleen Johnson and Bruce Ludovicy to the board.The candidates do not run for a particular seat but at-large,which means, the three highest vote-getters were awarded athree-year position on the board. The fourth highest elect-ed member (Bruce Ludovicy) will serve the remaining yearof Everett Cox’s term.

Warwick Grove Celebrates Grand Opening

By Nancy Owen

On Fri., May 13, Warwick Grove celebrated its grandopening by showing two of their model homes and havinga spread of delicious food provided by The Landmark Inn.Lou Marquet, Executive Vice President of Leyland Alliance,described the project as the completion of a vision to builda “community within a community.” The “community” isa traditional neighborhood design of single family homesthat are energy efficient as well as homes made of materi-als that are guaranteed for 50 years.

The site is nestled on a 130-acre wooded property thatis being turned into a community for active adults. At leastone member of the household must be over 55 years of ageand no school-age child may be in permanent residence.Both Mayor Michael Newhard and Town SupervisorMichael Sweeton highlighted the advantages of this type ofneighborhood. It keeps growth within the denser areas, ofthe Town, while not adding children to the school district.

What is a Traditional Neighborhood Design? It isbuilt around a square or green and all of the dwellings areclose to its community center. The dwellings are similar intype and architectural design to those in close proximity tothe neighborhood. There are shops and offices within orclose to the neighborhood. The streets consist of short,narrow blocks; this slows down traffic and creates an envi-ronment friendly to pedestrians and bicycles.

Garages are removed from the streetscape (located atthe rear of the homes) and numerous front porches sym-bolize a return to a period when neighbors interacted withone another on a daily basis. The idea is to have shops andservices within walking distance to the community.

This project replaced an original plan for an addition-al 162 condominiums as part of Homestead Village and isadjacent to Veteran’s Memorial Park. Leyland Alliancedonated a piece of land to the Albert Wisner Library fortheir new building and that property is located less than amile from the Warwick Grove community. RosemaryCooper, Director of the Wisner Library, thanked the

Alliance partners for this donation of land.Homes are being built as purchased and the models

have adopted names from the historical areas and styles inthe surrounding neighborhood. On display was the“Edenville,” an American Cottage design (a 2200+ squarefoot home) and the “York” (the largest of the models with2600+ square feet of space) with a kitchen that ChefMichael De Martino of TheLandmark Inn, describedas “wonderful.”

Other designs consistof the one-story “Amity,”smallest of the selections(1855 sq. ft.), the “Bellvale”(1975 sq. ft.) and the“Warwick” (2420 sq. ft.) aswell as the two models ondisplay.

Monica Quigley, VicePresident of Sales andMarketing, said there aremany luxurious standardfeatures such as granitecountertops and ten footceilings and extra tall win-dows. But there are alsomany options for addition-al features, at extra cost,such as bedroom fireplacesand wooden shelves in theclosets.

In Quigley’s salesexperience so far, she hasfound that people, whiletrying to downsize, do notwant to give up the featuresand space they had in theiroriginal homes but wantless work and less isolation. A view of the side yard on each home.

Once upon a time there were seven dwarfs. No, in reality, there are seven giants andthey are dwarfing our society. But more about that later. Actually our story begins aboutthirty-five years ago, towards the end of the Vietnam War Era, at Walter Reed ArmyHospital in Washington, D.C. Here, Mitchel Kaminsky, a young medical doctor in his sur-gical residency, watched in awe as young soldiers, seriously wounded in the war and expect-ed to die, miraculously recovered following implementation of a brand new medical tech-nique, known today as intravenous feeding.

In our present day world of computers and high-tech medicine, we take this technol-ogy for granted. Not so thirty-five years ago when malnutrition was little considered aspart of the equation that would prevent survival in the treatment of the seriously ill patient.What was astounding to the early pioneers of this technique, and probably more so to thepatients on the receiving end as it enabled them to walk out of the hospital, was that if the foodcould be placed directly into the stomach via a tube, the patient’s progress was markedly faster.

It was the dawning of a new era in healthcare where, in its infancy, the intricate rela-tionship of a properly functioning gut or digestive tract and the overall health of otherorgans, no matter how far removed from the gut, was not well understood and shroudedin mystery. We now know that it is an incredibly complex picture and series of events bestdepicted as a beautifully choreographed dance between our immune system, hormonal sys-tem, nervous system and gut.

Just imagine “The Nutcracker Suite” performed in half the time with a heavy metalband as accompaniment. For those of us who have seen and heard it countless times, theoutcome would be disheartening to say the least. Likewise, when the dance between theimmune, hormonal, nervous system and gut becomes interrupted, the end result is lessthan desirable. And how does that happen?

Let’s leave Walter Reed Army Hospital and fast forward several years to pause for a fewmoments at Fort Dietrich and the U.S. Army Biological Warfare Laboratories. The nameis frightening in and of itself and certainly conjures up visions of anthrax scares, misman-aged germs, dirty bombs and 21st century bioterrorism, a war not unfamiliar to us. Butthe war we wish to discuss today is one deeply imbedded in our tissues and vital to the very sur-vival of our species: inflammation—the good and the bad of it, the ugly and the beautiful!

Fort Dietrich was the site for the discovery of cytokines, a group of highly specializedmolecules, initially thought to be produced only by the cells of our immune system associ-ated with our gut, but later found to be characteristic of most, if not all, immune cells andnervous system cells combined. Further research revealed that cytokines were designed tocarry inflammatory messages from cell to cell, tissue to tissue, and organ to organ.

In other words, the gut could communicate with the liver, which could then commu-nicate with the brain, which could then communicate with the joints or any other tissue ofthe body. Why the emphasis on the gut? Ponder for just a moment the surface area of ourgut or digestive tract. If all the folds, nooks and crannies of our gut wall were smoothedout and flattened, the resulting area would encompass approximately one and a half tenniscourts. This space must be constantly monitored and kept under surveillance by ourimmune system, especially in light of the fact that our gut is home to over six pounds ofbacteria, many of which are not exactly friendly.

And in addition, there are processed and unprocessed fecal material and toxic molecules; ifallowed to cross the gut membrane, these would wreak havoc on our bodies. No wonder thatsixty to seventy percent of our immune system is located around and intimately associated withour gut. And when something goes wrong, our immune system sends out the troops to confine,immobilize and destroy the offender by initiating the inflammatory cascade.

This is good and beautiful, as inflammation is part of the healing response. Witnessjust how beneficial inflammation can be when we recall the first time we looked aghast ata young child freshly injured, covered with blood, horribly scratched, swollen beyondbelief, and wondered how this child could ever heal without being permanently scarred.Remember your incredulity when several days later the same child presented, almost com-pletely recovered, with only a small remnant of the original wound? This is the immunesystem, the nervous system and inflammation wonderfully at work.

But what happens when inflammation goes awry and, under the influence of long-standing detrimental signals from stress, toxicity, infection, oxidation by free-radicals,nervous system interference and insufficiency at one or more levels, sends the body into astate of chronic alert and becomes the norm instead of just a passing temporary response?Whether we want it or not, here it is, chronic systemic inflammation—the bad and ugly,the underpinning of all our diseases of aging. We know these diseases well for, as giants,they are never shy and no respecter of persons. Hear them come noisily, arrogantly, stomp-ing wildly as they go, dwarfing all whom they touch.

Yes, we know them well: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis,Alzheimer’s! Yet in the midst of all the gloom there is a ray of profound hope, for chronicsystem inflammation, the foundation for all of them, can be handily reversed. But here’s therub; it can only be accomplished using therapies that do not disrupt the many other dancesso essential for the full expression of health and ultimately our lives. Indeed, these presentday giants can become dwarfs again, with a comprehensive and personalized health renew-al program. So there you have it, a potential health evolution which comes full circle: pasttense, dwarfs; present tense, giants; future tense, dwarfs again. But more on how to accom-plish this next time.

SACHA to Celebrate a ‘Dynamic Decade’ at June Party The June Party, one of the major social events in

Warwick, is just about a month away and the SACHA (St.Anthony Community Hospital Auxiliary) committees areworking hard to make this year’s event a success. SACHA’s34th annual June “Under the Tent” Party will take place onSat., June 18 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Hickory Hill GolfCourse, just off Route 17A in Warwick.

Seating for the June Party will be under the tradition-al “tent” and guests will enjoy an open bar, hors d’oeuvres,buffet dinner and gourmet desserts. J&N Music, last year’spopular DJ, will return to provide the musical entertain-ment and dancing. There will also be special skits, prizesand surprises and lots of fun. Raffle tickets, currently onsale, offer 10 cash prizes and jewelry. The grand prize, cour-tesy of Provident Bank, is $1,000.

The theme of this year’s June Party is “DynamicDecade.” As always, guests have the option of wearing casu-al or more formal attire. But those who are more creativeare encouraged to pick out their favorite decade, for exam-ple the 50s, 60s or 70s or whatever, and come in the dressof that period or some imaginative costume that’s in tunewith this year’s theme.

“We selected this theme,” said Gloria Okon, Presidentof SACHA, “because we want our guests to have the optionof dressing in any fashion they choose. We also want themto use their imagination. But most of all, we want every-body to have fun.”

Okon, a former actress, singer and television personal-ity, has been chairing or co-chairing the June Party forabout 10 years. Glo, as her friends call her, has been credit-ed with reviving the affair and making it SACHA’s majorfundraiser. Last year, the June Party raised approximately$25,000 to purchase new equipment for St. AnthonyCommunity Hospital.

Despite the objections of her membership, however,Glo would like to retire. “I think it’s time to hand over thebaton,” she said. “But before I do, I want this June Party tobe the biggest and best one we’ve ever had.” So once again,Gloria Okon and Terry Gavan, SACHA’s Vice President,will co-chair this year’s June Party.

“All of our members,” said Gavan, “work hard to makethis affair a big success every year. We are especially grate-ful to all the committees and their chairpersons. We hopeeveryone will join us to thank Gloria Okon for all the yearsshe worked to make this event a wonderful success.”

The entire proceeds from the June Party will be used

Members of SACHA, who recently met at the home of Carolyn Denny to stuff and address envelopes for the upcom-ing annual “June Party” at Hickory Hill, are (clockwise): Eileen McCauley, Gladys Kaytes, Marguerite Meier Berry,

Linda Smith Ridella, Peggy Arizmendi, Carolyn Denny, Gloria Okon, Margaret Petlicka, Terry Gavan, Nell Rothschildand Dorothy Anderson.

Local Christian Song Writer hasNew CD Album

By Scott Webber

I’m not a music critic but I do knowwhen I have heard something great. I hadthis experience recently when, after I satdown and for 44 minutes listened to KarenGiammarino’s new Christian music CDalbum, “Morning Prayer.” All I could dowas stare in silence, and finally exclaim,“WOW!”

A resident of Amity, Karen says thather music and the words are inspired ofGod and that they come often in responseto what is going on around her. She willoften hurriedly write down, on anythinghandy such as napkins at a coffee maker ina hospital waiting room, as the thoughtscome to her. They flow through her headand she has to rush home to try it out onher piano.

These words tell of her love for Jesus,the love for family and that between a hus-band and wife, something they could readtogether. To those in pain and suffering,she writes of going to heaven and meetingJesus.

A Sunday morning church servicewhere Pastor Craig Adams preached onhow Mary Magdalene and Mary went tothe tomb looking for Jesus on Easter,gripped her so much she had to start towrite the words to “He’s Coming Back,”which starts the album during the sermon.The song was completed in a hospital wait-ing room while her mother was undergo-ing a heart examination. In the midst ofthis heavy and fearful situation, the Lordseemed to say to her, “Concentrate on thisand leave the rest to me,” giving her the restof the song.

“I’ll Love You Always” came from arequest of her husband Joe to have a songfor his father’s 50th wedding anniversary.They found out that his father hadmesotheleoma, cancer in both lungs, cast-ing a somber mood over the occasion.

“I began to pray,” says Karen. “Whilestill in my pajamas and robe, and for fourhours straight, the Lord gave me “I’ll LoveYou Always.” I had a hard time keeping upwith Him, and was sobbing as He gave mespecial words to this music song.

“Two lives, holding close through thegood times

Closer still through the bad times,With each child born in laughter and

tears.So for better or for worse,And it’s been both for you and meI’ll love you always, for always beside

you, I’ll be.”When her daughter Noelle faced med-

ical problems, this prompted the piece,“The First Time I Saw Jesus.” Years earlierKaren had a vivid dream in which shewalked with Jesus while He was carryingHis cross. When she awoke she couldn’tremember a thing they said to each other.

During this time of Noelle’s problems,Pastor Adams said he would like a songabout the first time Karen would see Jesus.Her dream of past years flashed back in hermemory. Now the conversation came backto her, now she was ready to use it for Hisglory. In that day when she first had thedream, she still did not know the Lord butsince that time became born again. Itwould be the basis for this song.

“So go now and know that my loveWill always be with you.Just make your life a living prayerIn everything you doI’ll be here waiting when the time has

come for you to beBy my side eternally…”Born and raised in Bensonhurst,

Giammarino moved to Warwick 17 yearsago. She is the pianist at Calvary BaptistChurch and volunteers her talents to teachmusic at Calvary Christian Academy. Whileliving in Brooklyn, she attended a family-run school of music where she learned allthe basics and received a classical educa-tion. In college she had a scholarship tostudy with G. Jan Gorbady.

Singing Karen’s songs is her goodfriend and one-time recording artistDonna Marie together with a guest vocalistDan Foran in the “I’ll Love You Always”selection.

The album is available throughwww.morningprayermusic.com and atNewhard’s Store.

Congress Approves Legislationto Crack Down on SpywareCongresswoman Sue Kelly and the U.S. House of

Representatives have approved legislation to reduce intru-sions from malicious spyware that is harming the comput-ers of millions of Americans and attempting to steal theirpersonal information over the Internet.

The “Internet Spyware (I-SPY) Prevention Act (H.R.744)” - passed by the House on May 23 - creates a newcriminal category of "illicit indirect use of protected com-puters" in order to impose tougher criminal penalties onspyware suppliers and users.

The legislation imposes fines and up to a five-year

prison sentence for criminals convicted of using softwareto break into a computer and steal personal informationfor other federal crimes such as Identity Theft. Perpetratorswho use spyware to impair a computer's security protec-tions in order to damage a computer would receive finesand up to a two-year prison sentence.

"Spyware is an unnecessary disturbance that posesincredible risks including increased cases of identity theftand other financial scams that prey upon innocent victimswho are simply using their computer," said Kelly. "Therealso is a growing concern that spyware could jeopardizenational security and the U.S. economy by exposing orattacking our computer systems."

"Hudson Valley small businesses have been forced toendure unnecessary costs and expenses to block or remove

spyware from employees' computers," Kelly added. "Thereis simply no place for spyware in our homes and work-places, and this legislation is a step forward to eliminate it."

Spyware is software aimed at stealing personal onlineactivities and personal information about individuals ororganizations without their knowledge. Spyware sendsinformation to another entity without the internet users'consent, changes settings on computers, and causes adver-tisements to continually appear on computer screens.Internet users are often unaware that spyware has beendownloaded to their computers, and it can be very difficultto remove.

In April 2004, the Federal Trade Commission report-ed that "spyware appears to be a new and rapidly growingpractice that poses a risk of serious harm to consumers."

SPORTS FANS!I BET YOUDIDN’TKNOW

Brought to You By Eric Nilsestuen

Have you ever heard about the hitter who blasted ahome run out of one state and into another? Technically,that’s what Reds outfielder Adam Dunn did in 2004. Dunnhammered a shot to center off Dodger pitcher Jose Limathat cleared three fences at Cincinnati’s Great America BallPark, landed on the sidewalk and bounced a few hundredfeet more before plopping into the Ohio River – which istechnically part of Kentucky. By the way, in 2004 Dunnbecame the first player in National Leaguer history to drivein at least 100 runs without hitting a sacrifice fly.

Rick Ankiel is the latest in a short list of players whohave tried to convert from pitchers to hitters during theircareers. USA Today’s high school player of the year in 1997and a rookie sensation for St. Louis in 2000, Ankiel suffereda control meltdown in the playoffs that year and neverregained his command. With the notable exception ofBabe Ruth, not many have succeeded in switching from themound to the field. But few fans know that anotherCardinal legend, Stan “the Man” Musial, won 18 games inthe minors before a shoulder injury in 1940 forced him offthe mound and into a Hall-of-Fame career in the outfield.

Imagine nailing an eagle on the 18th hole, but still fin-ishing your round with a score of 12,170! It happened toAndre Tolme in August of 2004, but that’s because Tolme’scourse was the entire country of Mongolia, where each holewas almost 200,000 yards long. The 35-year-old civil engi-neer from New Hampshire used a Jeep, a tent, a 3-iron anda native caddie named Khatanbaatar to complete thecourse in less than nine months. His purpose was to raiseawareness for the new sport of extreme golf.

New this year will be more support forindividuals/families looking to enter a bed in the race.
