Newburgh parents and students may notice that during the first few weeks of school the buses are often delayed

or unpredictable. However, Sue Young, grandparent of a Newburgh Free Academy North high school student, views this year’s busing schedule as a “big mess.” Her grandson, who rides a

Gallagher bus several times a week, was picked up from his Liberty street bus stop for the first time the morning of September 18, two weeks after school had

DoD won’t pay for

past PFOS cleanup

By SHANTAL [email protected]

The U.S. Department of Defense states it will not pay for past work performed in connection with perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) contamination of the City of Newburgh drinking water reservoir at Washington Lake or surrounding public and private wells in the towns of Newburgh and New Windsor.

That is according to a DoD statement which comes more than a year after the discovery of elevated levels of PFOS in the lake and surrounding drinking watershed.

State sampling has shown the contamination came from the nearby Stewart Air National Guard Base. Alongside local municipalities, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has carried out millions of dollars in remediation work since the water crisis emerged in May last year.

DoD digs in “Reimbursement for past expenditures

are not authorized,” DoD spokesman Adam Stump said in an email to the Mid Hudson Times on Tuesday. “The Department of Defense defines past expenditures as anything that the community expended prior to having a

signed cooperative agreement with the Air National Guard or other appropriate DoD entity, regardless of fiscal year.”

However, Stump said the Air National Guard would “renew discussions aimed at developing cooperative agreements to mitigate locations with PFOS/PFOA drinking water exceedances.” The cooperative agreement(s) would lay out specific “terms of what DoD can pay for,” he wrote.

The DEC shot back in a statement on Friday, accusing the DoD of continuing to “shirk” its responsibilities.

“While DoD’s commitment to negotiate on future agreements is long overdue, the state is deeply concerned that DoD continues to shirk their responsibility to pay for these past investments to protect public health.”

“DoD must follow the ‘polluter pays’ principle, and we will carefully review this advisory and forthcoming guidance and take any necessary actions to ensure the state and our communities are not left footing the bill for the actions we took to protect residents from DoD contamination.”

The DEC went on to state it would proceed with cleanup work, regardless of inaction on the part of DoD. “The state’s primary concern is for the protection

of public health and the environment,” the statement read. “We will continue to address PFC contamination in the face of any failure by DoD to do so.”

To date, the DEC has spent almost $24 million on work related to the water crisis affecting Newburgh and New Windsor. And, according to the DEC, the agency is “contractually obligated to spend an additional $26 million to address the contamination in these communities.”

The state Department of Health has spent approximately $1 million on the regional PFOS blood-testing program, the DEC adds. The state also spent tens of millions in additional monies on cleanup efforts for PFOS-contaminated drinking water surrounding Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Suffolk County.

A massive undertaking A full overhaul of the city’s water

treatment plant off Little Britain Road is underway as part of water-infrastructure improvement initiatives spurred by the crisis.

A new 1.2 million-gallon storage tank loomed large at the site over the weekend. The $5 million tank, already online, sits next to a mammoth building under construction to house the city’s

new granular-activated carbon filtration system, designed to remove PFOS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and other contaminants.

When completed, the system will be able to process 8.8 million gallons of raw water per day, said city water Superintendent Wayne Vradenburgh.

Eighteen gargantuan-sized filtration tanks stood about 30 feet tall inside the building, dwarfing a handful of visitors who walked around on a tour of the new plant on Saturday.

Plant renovations are on track for completion by January, Vradenburgh said. Until recently, the city had been on a nail-biting deadline to finish the project by October, when the New York City Department of Environmental Protection was expected to close the Catskill Aqueduct for 10 weeks of repairs.

The shutdown was recently pushed back to October, 2018. “It gives us a little breathing room,” Vradenburgh said.

The beleaguered Mid-Broadway project

has encountered yet another roadblock: a property-deed restriction that requires action by the Newburgh Housing Authority to be removed.

“One of the largest city-owned parcels of the Mid-Broadway development has a clause in the deed that if it is not used for municipal purposes, it reverts back to the Housing Authority,” explained Mill Street Partners attorney David Cooper to the Newburgh City Council at City Hall last Thursday.

Mill Street has proposed to build 91 affordable-housing units and two retail spaces, including a 12,000-square-foot grocery store, on city-owned land on Broadway between Johnston and Lander streets.

The developer has applied for state tax credits to fund the majority of the $31-million project. But, a 30-year payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) has drawn ongoing, intense criticism from city residents who claim the project

provides too large a tax break. Mill Street met with the Housing

Authority in July to discuss the deed restriction, said Cooper. “The chairman has indicated the board cannot act on this

request unless and until they hear from the city that you support our request for them to release this clause,” Cooper said, addressing council members.

Passing a resolution “stating that we

support the release of the deed covenant” would be the “easiest most effective way of communicating the position of the body,” city Corporation Counsel Michelle Kelson told the council.

She underscored potential issues posed by the restriction beyond the Mid-Broadway project. “If at any time, the city wants to do anything (else) with that parcel, besides having it sit there, this deed restriction would be a hurdle to any kind of real estate transaction,” said Kelson.

Recently, the city council was split on passing a resolution of support encouraging the Housing Authority to release the deed restriction in connection with redevelopment at the site. Council members Cindy Holmes, Hillary Rayford and Regina Angelo voted in support of the resolution; Genie Abrams, Torrance Harvey and Mayor Judy Kennedy voted against it. Councilwoman Karen Mejia abstained. The split vote effectively killed the resolution. “It’s like a nightmare that never ends,” remarked Harvey on Thursday.

already started. Young noted that, as the last stop on the route, the bus has often been late, arriving at 7:00 a.m. or later. Because students have to be in their seats by 7 a.m, Young said parents often “give up by 7” and drive their students to school.

“Maybe it comes after seven some of these days, but that’s unacceptable. I know we aren’t the only bus route, and I know he’s not the only one getting picked up late, based on the reaction of the school,” stated Young.

The Newburgh Enlarged City School District (NECSD) currently operates approximately 190 school buses transporting students to and from its schools. The NECSD Director of Transportation, Mark Connolly, noted that the beginning of the school year usually requires additional adjustments to busing schedules in order to meet every student’s needs. On the first day of the 2017 school year the department received over 350 requests from parents or caregivers to update student information, which frequently requires updating bus routes. These requests happen most frequently during the first few weeks of school. The department stated that it works as quickly as possible to resolve any issue or complaint.

For Young, the Gallagher bus company’s failure to pickup her grandson is an “on-going problem,” one that started and continued all last year. She estimated that last year her grandson had to be driven to school once every two weeks because his bus failed to arrive at the scheduled time. Young is quick to point out that Newburgh residents are paying for this busing service with their taxes.

“I know things happen, I get that. But it’s consistently a problem…We are paying for this service. We are all in the city of Newburgh paying for this service,” stated Young.

Ed Gallagher, president of Gallagher Transportation and Leprechaun Lines, says, however, that this year has been better than previous years. He stated that all the complaints that have come to his attention so far have already been resolved. He candidly admits the company isn’t perfect, but argues that as a family business operating out of one location they do better

than most. Gallagher explained that between the time the bus

company sends their bus routes out to the school to publish the information and the first day of school, “there can be hundreds of changes.” But he states those alterations are normal. Gallagher explained that often the changes are due to new students that registered late for school, or alternate stops such as a grandparent’s house that need to be included. New additions can overfill buses, requiring them to either reroute the bus or send secondary buses. Gallagher asserted that fluidity and good teamwork between the bus company and Director of Transportation Mark Connolly, are key in the beginning of the school year.

“We have very good staff here. We just keep moving and make the changes as requested…just the first week of school — no matter how well you think you have it planned – it’s always changing, and you have to be fluid and rectify situations as they arise,” stated Gallagher.

Gallagher added that new to the buses this year is GPS tracking equipment, enabling bus dispatchers to track buses in live time and ensure they are stopping at all their scheduled stops. Gallagher encourages parents or caregivers to call the bus company if their child’s bus is arriving or dropping off late. “We have multiple people in the office who can respond,” said Gallagher, adding that dispatchers can get directly in contact with drivers or use the GPS to give parents a status on the bus’s location along the bus route.

Young said she called both the school and Gallagher bus company multiple times in the first two weeks of school, but didn’t see results until she called angry and frustrated on September 15. Young was troubled by the effort it took to get her and other parents’ voices to be heard.

“What really bothers me is why, if all these other parents are calling, did my [September 15] phone calls get through? Was it because I was angry?”

Gallagher said he was able to speak with Young on September 19, and that the two “had a good conversation.” He noted that Young’s grandson’s bus issues have been resolved, and that the busing company is continuing to keep a close eye on the situation.

Crime Stoppers offers reward in hit-and-run fatal

New York State Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for a hit and run that left a man dead in the City of Newburgh.

Fred Woolsey, 90, a retired Marine, was found injured by Newburgh City Police at the corner or Grand Avenue and Park Place at 7:15 a.m. on Sunday, September 17. He was taken to St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the New York State Crime Stoppers hotline at 866-313-TIPS (8477). Calls can remain anonymous. There is no caller ID on the Crime Stoppers hotline phones.

Newburgh man busted on pot charges

A traffic stop in the City of Newburgh led to the arrest of a local man on a charge of felony possession of marijuana.

Orange County Sheriff ’s deputies were in Newburgh on Friday and observed a vehicle drive through a stop sign, then stop past the crosswalk inside the intersection. They conducted a vehicle stop and learned the driver, Augustus Burks, 27, of Newburgh, was operating the car while his license was suspended.

Deputies also detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and located two Ziploc bags with over 16 ounces of marijuana in the trunk.

Burks was charged with felony possession of marijuana and a misdemeanor of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. He was sent to the Orange County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail or $7,500 bond.

Police raid New Windsor motels, make drug, prostitution arrests Police raided rooms at the Windsor Motel and

Galaxy Motor Inn in New Windsor last Wednesday following a two-month investigation into complaints of illegal narcotics use and prostitution at both locations.

Three women were arrested for prostitution, two of whom were also charged with misdemeanor drug offenses. A man was arrested and charged with felony drug sales and felony drug possession.

The managers of both motels were also charged with permitting prostitution.

New Windsor Town Police were assisted by the New York State Police Community Stabilization Unit, City of Newburgh Police, Town of Mount Hope Police, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office and state Department of Taxation and Finance.

Cooper admonished the city for not making the reverter clause known in advance to would-be developers of the site. “You enticed people to come here and start investing under the representation that this site could be developed unencumbered,” he said.

Kelson elaborated. “The people who were in charge of the city at the time didn’t do their homework,” said Kelson, pointing to 2010 and 2011. “They represented that all of those parcels could be conveyed to the developer for a project.”

The developers also failed to catch the

clause, the mayor said. “Every property I’ve ever bought required a title search,” Kennedy said. “You did not do your due diligence... to discover this issue. In a court of law, there is absolutely two sides to this story.”

Cooper reminded the council that, under the land development agreement, the city had an obligation to “(support) our ability to get all the approvals from all local government.” Indeed, Cooper said there were possible “ramifications” if the clause could not be removed.

“If the council does not act, is it your position that we therefore have breached that part of our obligation?” City Manager

Michael Ciaravino asked Cooper. “It feels like a setup,” he added.

Ciaravino’s comment provoked the attorney. “Right before we came to the Housing Authority, you made an appointment to that board of an opponent of this project who has sued the city,” said Cooper, speaking about Housing Authority Commissioner Stuart Sachs, who, along with other city residents, sued the city in an attempt to stop the project in 2014.

“Why are you so against this project?” Councilwoman Hillary Rayford bluntly asked Ciaravino – to which the city manager said he was concerned about

speaking publicly on a project “where there has been repeated threats for liability, ligation, and $30-million judgements.” He added, “We should be doing this inside of executive session.”

The city manager was citing a notice of default, filed by Mill Street in 2016, when the developer threatened the city with a $31-million lawsuit if it did not follow through with the 2012 land-development agreement for the project.

Cooper said Mill Street was scheduled to again meet with the Housing Authority on September 21.


Mid-Broadway project meets another hurdle

U. S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced that Department of Defense (DoD) would begin taking water samples in and around Stewart Air National Guard Base in New Windsor, including Recreation Pond on Monday, September 25. This comes at Schumer’s urging, after numerous calls for action and directly to Secretary of Defense James Mattis in Washington, DC.

“Until now, the DoD has spent more time and energy trying to circumvent liability than it has honoring its responsibility to taxpayers, public health and innocent families. With water sampling beginning today it’s a sign that our countless calls for action is finally being answered – especially by including Recreation Pond in this week’s testing. While this is a big step forward to bring some relief to Newburgh, the DoD must thoroughly test and completely clean up the full PFOS mess they created in this community. And, further, the local communities must

not be on the financial hook for this testing and remediation process,” said Senator Schumer.

Schumer explained the rates of contamination in Newburgh’s water were well beyond the acceptable 70 parts per trillion limit of human exposure to the related PFOA and PFOS. Testing done by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) in March of 2016 showed water supply contamination likely came from the release of aqueous-forming foam (AFFF) from Stewart. The testing also showed one of the outfalls discharging stormwater into Recreation Pond contained 5,900 ppt PFOS, almost 85 times the EPA health advisory limit of 70 ppt. The base was then declared a Superfund site. The Air National Guard completed a site inspection. The inspection helped identify 13 potential release locations at the base. They soon presented a work plan to remediate the contamination but

the plan did not include waterways like Recreation Pond, which has continued to receive substantial amounts of PFOS from the airport drainage, or any other off base waterways that were nonetheless contaminated as a direct result of the chemical release at Stewart.

Last week Schumer, announced he was successful in including provisions to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to authorize $20 million in Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) funds for the Air Force to remediate PFOS and PFOA contamination at impacted Stewart Airbase in Newburgh, New York and to ensure that the Air Force has the authority to mitigate and clean up National Guard and Reserve installations. When allotted, this funding would be used specifically for mitigation actions at National Guard bases where site inspections confirm polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) contamination. Schumer said

perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate acid (PFOA), a related chemical, are linked to certain cancers and other serious adverse health effects. The contamination stemmed from Stewart Air National Guard Base as a result of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) used to fight fires.

In February, Schumer urged DOD to add Recreation Pond and surrounding waterways to the Air National Guard’s pollution survey and cleanup plan. Recreation Pond and other waterways were determined to have elevated levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) by state DEC testing; PFOS and PFOA, a related chemical, is linked to birth defects and certain cancers. The contamination is widely believed by regulators to have originated at Stewart Air National Guard Base as a result of aqueous-forming foam (AFF) used to fight fires.

Husband-and-wife design team Charles and Ray Eames are best known for their pioneering, innovative contributions to architecture, furniture design, industrial design and manufacturing, and the photographic arts. Less well-known is their contribution to the field of interactive multimedia. On Thurs., Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Newburgh Free Library (124 Grand Street), Newburgh resident Jim Hoekema will present an illustrated talk on the “Art Game,” one of the earliest consumer designs in interactive multimedia, and the only computer-based interactive design from the Eames office. Created in 1977 and 1978, it was one of the earliest examples of

interactive multimedia of any kind, and was probably the first in humanities education.

The Art Game is not well-known because at first, it was top secret. Funded by IBM as a research project long before the advent of the internet, the early computer “game” was designed to guide viewers to recognize the styles of Impressionist painters by combining systematic game rules with skillfully written responses to user “guesses.”

Hoekema, who has lived in Newburgh for nearly 20 years, led the Art Game project at the Eames office 40 years ago. Trained as an art historian and previously an

editor in book publishing, he took the experience leading the Art Game project as the starting point for a career as an interactive designer, working as a consultant and for firms such as Philips Electronics and Accenture–from which he retired last year.

In addition to introducing the Art Game to a new audience, Hoekema will also show a couple of short (unrelated) Eames films.

The Newburgh Free Library hours are 9 a.m. - 9 p.m., Mon. through Thurs.; 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Fri. and Sat.; and 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. on Sun. For information about library programs, please call 845-563-3618.

The transition to a new bus company can be a stressful time for a school district, but the rollout of a new transportation provider went as smoothly as possible over the first two weeks of school for the Wallkill district. Minor hiccups occurred over the first two days of school when classes began on Sept. 6, but as East End Bus Lines learned the ropes of the district, the minor bus delays experienced in the early days of the new school year were quickly ironed out.

The Long Island-based bus company signed a joint deal in the winter to replace First Student Bus Company as the transport firm for both Wallkill and the Valley Central School District. While East End had persistent problems in delivering kids to and from school on time in Valley Central two weeks into the school year, the transition process was much easier in Wallkill. “By Friday of that first week, all the regular runs were running on time,” said Wallkill Superintendent Kevin Castle. “We still had some things to work out with

some of the non-public school runs, and (Assistant Superintendent) Brian Devincenzi met with the company that Saturday and got those all worked out. So by the second week of school we were fine.”

The district expected to see bus delays in the early going of the 2017-2018 school year, as the traditional first-day holdups were compounded by local road construction. “The first day of school, whether you have your own bus company or you contract out, you’re going to have delays,” Castle said. “Then of course when you have a new company coming in, those are going to be exacerbated. We also have two bridges out - one on Route 32 and one on Bruyn Turnpike. We expected that there were going to be delays and I included that in my newsletter that I sent home. We told parents that we would contact them if we incurred significant delays, which we did by using our all-call system.”

Some bus routes were adjusted because of the bridge closures, but will revert back to their previous form when the road repairs are finished. At the district’s Sept. 20 board meeting, no local parents voiced their concerns

with any issues related to the new bus service, while the administration credited East End with being hands-on with fixing the early problems.

“It’s a new bus company, and we had the same issues 10 years ago when First Student started,” Board of Education President Joseph LoCicero said. “So we knew there was going to be those growing pains. I think the bus company handled it extremely well. When Mr. Castle and Mr. Devincenzi found out there were some discrepancies and problems, they were able to figure out what those problems were right away and then troubleshoot them and get something in the works right away to fix them. I don’t think

it was any more than a couple of days that we had some issues.”

After the initial delays, Castle did have an audit conducted to make sure the company had a sufficient amount of bus drivers available to handle the district. “I wanted to make sure there were enough drivers,” he said. “In our nation right now, there’s a shortage of bus drivers. So I wanted to have a one-to-one driver to each bus. So that was done and we do have that. There’s not a lot of substitutes, so they are working to hire more. But that’s not just East End, that’s throughout our country.” With the delay issues rectified, the district has been impressed with the quality of the new fleet vehicles that East End is using to transport students every day. “The buses are brand new and they’re air-conditioned, which has been great this week with the heat,” Castle said.

At the board meeting, Castle praised the early implementation of the district’s One to One program at John G. Borden Middle School, which has seen over 500 Chromebook computers dispersed to all seventh- and eighth-grade pupils for use in school and at home. The students sign out the laptops at the beginning of the school year, and will return them next spring before they head home for summer break.

Castle described a scene of visiting the middle school and seeing kids eager to finish their lunches to get back to work on their new computers. “The kids are very pleased with the ability to have these and to be able to bring them home so they can do their schoolwork,” the superintendent said. “The teachers are integrating the technology into the classrooms. So I’m very pleased with the first two weeks in regards to that rollout.”

The district received funding for the initiative through the state’s Smart Schools Bond Act, and is gradually rolling it out districtwide. “We’re very excited about the technology portion at the middle school with the Chromebooks coming out,” LoCicero said. “My son is in eighth grade and they are amazing. The kids open them up and do all of their homework with the Chromebook. There’s no more books coming in and out, they just carry this thing around. I haven’t heard one bad thing.”

Do we focus on what really

matters?

This past weekend, the nation’s attention (or perhaps it was just the national media’s attention) seems to be focusing on the feud

between President Trump and the National Football League.

A derogatory tweet, directed at one of the players who last year refused to stand for the National Anthem, generated widespread outcry and backlash by many players. On Sunday, we learned of players who sat, players who knelt and players who locked arms during the anthem.

We also learned of an entire team – the Pittsburgh Steelers - that chose to remain in the locker room during the anthem, with the exception of one player, offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva, who happens to be a West Point graduate and a former Army Ranger. Villanueva, Monday, apologized to his teammates for what he said was unintentionally breaking ranks with the rest of his team – even as sales of his jersey number 78 soared.

Perhaps we know a little too much about the feud between the billionaire president and millionaire football players. We understand that players have First Amendment rights to protest, and that fans have the same right to turn off the TV on Sunday afternoon or boycott any of its sponsors.

There are at least 3.4 million people living in Puerto Rico who really have more important things to worry about. They are without electricity or clean water after their island was struck by the most powerful hurricane to hit Puerto Rico in nearly a century. At least 10 people were killed by Hurricane Maria. They live on an island whose economy was already in shambles before the hurricane hit. Their lives are devastated.

“touched by an angel.” Actually, it was two angels, twin brothers named

Gabriel and Michael. These were two of the nicest little boys who I met when I went to pick up my grandson at the preschool. At first, I only saw “Gabe” coming down the hallway, and, though he didn’t know me, he’d always say, “Hello sir,” although at first, we were complete strangers. After a while, I’d ask Gabe how school was, and he’d give me a big smile, and let me know he had so much fun. I’d even get a “High-5” on days when he was really happy.

One day, as usual, I ran into the little boy with the long flowing locks, and said, “Hey Gabe, how are you doing today?” I was confused when he just looked at me and said, “I’m not Gabe, I’m Michael.” I guess I must have looked real confused, because the teacher’s aide told me that Gabriel and Michael were twins. And, just like Gabe, Michael was the kindest, most polite little boy. So, I had to guess which one I ran into in the hallway each time I went to pick up my grandson. Here were two little boys who were having fun, and brining smiles to everyone they met.

Then, all of a sudden, I didn’t see Gabe anymore. I knew he was supposed to still be at the school, so I asked one of the staff if Gabe and Michael’s parents had moved away. With one of the saddest expressions I’d ever seen, the aide told me that Gabe had cancer, and they didn’t know if or when he’d be coming back to school. My world was shaken, and life got a little darker and colder with that terrible news. For, even on the most cloudy, windy, and cold days, there was always a ray of sunshine when I had the chance to get a “High-5” from Gabe or Michael.

I kept up with Gabe’s medical condition on “Gabriel’s Journey” on Facebook. It’s been a hard time for Gabe, as he’s going through a lot of chemo therapy and treatments to help cure Gabe from the cancer that’s squeezing the life out of that innocent child. This situation has to be devastating to the family, but, they are keeping us up to date with Gabe’s condition, even though it’s got to be a emotional and financial drain on that family. All they

ask for is our prayers in support of their son. Most people who read this letter will feel sad for Gabe,

but, they’ll forget all about it once they put the newspaper down. Gabe, his twin brother Michael, and their parents don’t get a second when Gabe’s condition doesn’t affect them, or isn’t on their minds. I pray to God every day and night, asking him to cure Gabe, and allow him to realize the joy of being a little boy. I ask God, “you already have your Angel Gabriel and Arch-angel Michael, so why can’t you leave us two of your angels so we may continue to have a pair of angels here on Earth?”

But, you can help. There are financial obligations that come with helping young Gabe to defeat this demon that threatens this young child’s life. As a member of this community in the Hudson Valley, is it not simply the right thing to do to help out when our neighbor is in trouble? You can donate now by going onto your computer, type in .youcaring.com/michellesandhop-726516. See the little

boy you’d be helping; get to know this child. You’ll be glad you did!!!

portion of the island, where cracks were seen on Friday in the 88-year-old earthen structure. Many had been evacuated by Monday.

Power could be out for weeks or even months. From preliminary FEMA reports, it is estimated that 55 percent of transmission towers may be down, and that more than 90 percent of the distribution system could have been destroyed.

More than 91 percent of Puerto Rico’s cellphone sites are also out of service, the Federal Communications Commission said.

Why haven’t we learned more about the situation in Puerto Rico? Have we reached our limit on hurricane news after the first two storms battered Texas and Florida? Are we just not paying attention? Or have we just become too obsessed with the crowded field of celebrities that includes professional athletes? Or perhaps our President needs to start tweeting that the people of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands – also battered by the hurricane – need our help and that help is indeed on its way.

PRAYERS FOR THE SOUL OF OUR NATION

Still a ‘fair and welcoming’ cityBy SHANTAL RILEY

[email protected]

At an emergency meeting on Monday, the Newburgh City Council was united in its opinion that the city should remain

a “fair and welcoming city.” The title means the city will not enforce federal immigration law, except in cases of a judicial warrant. The issue at hand was the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services

(COPS) grant funding that would pay for four police officers at the City of Newburgh Police Department. According to the U.S. Department

Newburgh city manager asked to sign a ‘certification of illegal immigration cooperation’

Lujan ekes out win in District 4

Democratic Primary

Results still unofficial The race for the Democratic nomination for District 4 of the Orange County Legislature was won by a razor-thin margin in last Tuesday’s primary election. According to early results, Kevindaryan Lujan defeated Omari Shakur to win the Democratic nomination with just five votes.

“We look forward to unifying the City of Newburgh and advocating for our families,” Lujan said Tuesday.

A final tally of voter affidavits and absentee ballots were counted by the Orange County Board of Elections this week. Lujan drew 303 votes over 298 for Shakur.

One unopened ballot remained contested on Tuesday, according to county Board of Elections Commissioner David Green. All votes will be certified as official by Thursday, he said.

In the growing debate about a federal budget and a federal tax policy, one issue is central in most conversation:

jobs. How can more people return to the American workforce and have meaningful employment that comfortably supports a family? Robots and other technology is blamed for the loss of American jobs along with outsourcing manufacturing products far away from a company’s headquarters. The world is more complex and mechanized than ever and transportation in every realm moves information and products faster than our parents ever dreamed would be possible. Globalization has left most people unsettled and unsure of their future. A few social critics have said the corporate trend to send work overseas in the 21st century is because labor unions are no longer actively engaging workers and fighting for change. It would be fun to call back our grandparents for a chat on the topic and learn how many things have shifted in a couple of generations.

All my grandparents worked in

Newburgh factories. They told me stories of the time when plant layoffs meant no paycheck except for what they could earn taking day labor jobs carrying tools or water along the tracks during railroad repairs or picking berries on farms outside Newburgh. But

as they worked in Coldwell Lawnmower and Abendroth and Root and The Bleachery they and their co-workers were also working for change.

They began to join trade unions and associations that not only argued for improvement in their jobs but provided the support and friendship of colleagues.

I looked back in the city directory for 1920, the prime working years of my grandparents. Under “Labor Organizations” were 29 trade unions. By contrast in 1950, the prime working years of my parents, there were 16 such unions. It reflects Newburgh’s strength as a

manufacturing and trade center as much as it does as a hub of union activity. In 1920, Newburgh had these labor groups: Bakers & Confectioners, Barbers, Bartenders, Blacksmiths, Boilermakers,

Brewery Workers, Bricklayers & Masons, Carpenters, Clerks, Electrical Workers, Garment Cutters, Garment Workers, Hat Finishers, Hod Carriers, Iron Shipbuilders, Lace Makers, Machinists, Moulders, Musicians, Painters, Plumbers, Sheet Metal Workers, Steam Engineers, Street Railway Employees, Typographers, and a couple with initials I don’t understand. Just as remarkable as a window into the lives of our ancestors was the 1920 list of “Societies and Associations.” There were 72! Additionally, there was a list of “Clubs.” Those totaled 24. Not to mention the 9 “Bands and Orchestras.” Newburghers participated in everything from the Riverside Boat Club to the Eagle Singing Society; from the Daughters of Liberty to the Fabrikoid Athletic Club; from the Newburgh Automobile Club to the Progress Society. We had both a Newburgh Chamber of Commerce and a Newburgh Merchants Association. No wonder our reputation as a strong, progressive city was applauded far and wide.

It is clear that before the days

of television and the internet, our grandparents spent evenings out in the community with others getting good things accomplished. Meetings and socializing at taverns or ice cream parlors afterward often happened on busy Broadway. A hub for the laborers of the city and their unions was the Central Labor Union Hall at 124 Broadway, pictured here. It operated beside Rudolf Rickborn’s Grocery where fresh produce was displayed along the sidewalk and, just at the right edge of the picture, Abraham Ruben’s Tobacco Shop where many a pipe was refilled before heading upstairs to a meeting. Right across the street at 117 Broadway in the Cochran Building fraternal groups like The Modern Woodmen, The Order of the Golden Sceptre and the Newburgh Hebrew Society also met.

If anyone belongs to clubs today who still retain files from their past, I will gladly assist you in reviewing and conserving them. It’s the least we can do to respect the groups who made our city proud.

Newburgh, NY 12550 On Saturday, September 30, Wired Gallery opens Stills, a solo show of still life and other floral

compositions by the New Paltz-based, Argentinean artist Roberto Azank, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. sponsored by Stone Ridge Wine and Spirits. The show runs until Sunday, October 22.

Still life, a traditional subject matter for artists since the Egyptians, has always been the primary focus of Roberto Azank. Azank’s canvases convey a sense of hyper-reality through his bold use of color, precise line and controlled composition. His rendering of common objects such as flowers, fruits and curvaceous vessels set against the background of almost fauvist bisected bold color planes is being exemplified by superb draftsmanship. These color planes, often indescribable in hue, are the cornerstone of Azank’s work, while the still life objects act as vehicles for exploration of positive and negative space, placement and scale. He elects to omit unnecessary ornamentation from his compositions, choosing instead to emphasize the precision and draftsmanship he originally investigated in architecture school.

The grandson of an oil-on-canvas artist and son of a master embroidery

designer, Roberto Azank went on to first study photography and later architecture at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1979 he moved to the United States where experimentation with various artistic forms and media led to his decision to pursue a career in the arts. As he continued to hone his craft, Azank began painting brightly colored abstract works in acrylics. By the late eighties, his style had evolved from abstract to figurative and he started painting in oils and

found his definitive style in still life works, for which he is known with an international following.

“I find Roberto Azank’s paintings absolutely bewildering,” says Wired gallerist Sevan Melikyan. “They light up any room. The brilliant colors, wild contrasts, the hyperrealism touching on surrealism, not to mention the masterful execution, are just incredible to me! They certainly light up my mind!”

Rocker Willie Nile brings his Bob Dylan Tribute to The Falcon on Friday, Sept. 29.

Nile has toured the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. Nile’s album “Streets of New York” was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by UNCUT magazine. Rolling Stone listed “The Innocent Ones” as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.”

His album “American Ride”, won the Independent Music Awards’ Best Rock Album of the Year, and appeared on over one hundred year-end Top Ten lists for 2013. Bono called it, “One of the great guides to unraveling the mystery that is the troubled beauty of America.” His album of piano based songs, “If I Was a River” (2014), was released to universal critical acclaim.

“One of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past thirty years,” said The New Yorker. No Depression raved “Willie Nile’s artistic

renaissance continues unabated.”Nile’s 2016 album “World War

Willie” (2016) appeared on numerous year end top ten lists, and was voted Album of the Year by Twangville Magazine. Its song “Forever Wild” was named Coolest Song in the World by Little Steven’s Underground Garage.

In continuing with the annual lecture series to celebrate US Constitution Day, scholar Michael B. McCoy, MA, has researched and prepared a new lecture The Making of a Working People’s Constitution: An Unfinished Project.

He will present this timely talk with Q & A on Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 7 p.m. in the OCTC Great Room 101 in Kaplan Hall.

The session is open to the public with free admission.“Despite their central role in fomenting and fighting

for independence, working people were not authors of the Constitution, and they were not the folks who ultimately ratified it. Nevertheless, common folks’ reverence for and expectations about the rights extended under the Constitution developed quite quickly,” according to Professor McCoy.

Throughout the lecture he points out how working people “saw it as a guarantee of freedom, rights, and opportunity.” He also explains “the process by which expectations turned to reality” has taken centuries in

the making and continues to be a work in progress. The lecture presentation is engaging and encourages a lively discussion during Q & A.

Michael B. McCoy is an Associate Professor of History in the Department of Global Studies at SUNY Orange. He earned his MA from the University of Pittsburgh, where he studied Early American and Atlantic History. For the past decade, his research has focused on the political, social, and economic lives of working people in the late colonial and Early Republic eras. He is the author of the recently published “The Anxious Republic: A History of the New American Nation, 1788-1848,” 2nd Edition (Dubuque, IA: 2016). He is a member of the Omohundro Institute for Early American History and Culture, the Pennsylvania Historical Association, and the Medieval Academy of America.

This event has been planned as a joint presentation of Global Studies and Cultural Affairs.

Leading off at 7pm on Wednesday, September 27, with a brief overview of her artwork through a PowerPoint presentation, Amy Bennett will then transition to discussing, with models, the Creation of 3D Reference Material for 2D Work. As the art master class-workshop continues, Bennett will assist attendees with hands-on participation. Several of her paintings will be on view in order that a concept of her work can be better understood.

The venue for the event is Orange Hall Gallery where the Innovator and Activists – New York Foundation of the Arts Fellows show by eight artists is on display. Amy Bennett, the featured artist of this master class is a NYFA Fellow as she received two New York Foundation for the Arts awards, one in 2006 and another in 2010. In offering this class along with several other events, SUNY Orange joins SUNY colleges and universities in celebrating 30 years of NYFA grants and fellowships. The class is free and open to the public.

“I am interested in storytelling over time through repeated depictions, seasonal changes, and shifting vantage points. My aim is for the collective images to invite the viewer to consider shifting relationships to our surroundings over the course of time, and to offer a reminder of the persistence of change and the impermanence of everything,” states Bennett. Her works and the process through which she creates them are fascinating and insist that viewers take a

closer, more in depth view of the finished paintings.

In addition to NYFA awards, Amy Bennett is the recipient of the John Simon

Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, Rosenthal Family Foundation Award in Painting, American Academy of Arts & Letters Purchase Award, Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Program, Smack Mellon Studio Program, and an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant.

Her works have been included in numerous exhibitions throughout the United States as well as internationally in France, Sweden, and Japan. She holds

a BFA from the University of Hartford and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art.

Orange Hall is located at the corner of Wawayanda and Grandview Avenues, Middletown. Questions may be addressed to [email protected] and (845)341-4891.

The Gardiner Library Book Club will meet on Wednesday October 4 from 3 to 4 p.m. to discuss “The Cellist of Sarajevo” by Steven Galloway. Inspired by a true story, the book poignantly explores how war can change one’s definition of humanity, the effect of music on our emotional endurance, and how a romance with the rituals of daily life can be a form of resistance.

The next meeting of the book club will be Wednesday November 1, from 3 to 4 p.m. The November book

club title is “Behold the Dreamers” by Imbolo Mbue. This compulsively readable debut novel is about marriage, immigration, class, race, and the trapdoors in the American Dream—the unforgettable story of a young Cameroonian couple making a new life in New York just as the Great Recession upends the economy.

The book club meets in the library community room, 133 Farmer’s Turnpike in Gardiner.

During the 2016-17 school year, along with other talented music students across the United States and overseas in military base schools, Supriya Makam from Newburgh Free Academy practiced with dedication to gain a chair or part in her local, district, and state music honor ensembles.

Supriya will join the “best of the best” for the National Association for Music Education’s (NAfME) 2017 All-National Honor Ensembles November 26-29, at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. The Jazz Band and Choir concerts take place 7:30-9 p.m., November 28, and the Concert Band and Symphony Orchestra concerts begin at 10 a.m. November 29, in the ballrooms at Disney Coronado Springs Resort. The concerts are free and open to the public. Tickets are not required.

Supriya Makam is a rising senior at Newburgh Free Academy. She is an honors and AP student, and is at the top of her class among over 700 students and a member of the Girls Varsity Tennis team.

Supriya participates in numerous choral activities, including international, national, and state-level choirs. She performed in the 2016-17 NYState All State Women’s Chorus and the NAfME All Eastern Chorus. She currently performs with Madrigals, the select chorus at NFA, the Cecile Chaminade Women’s Chorus, and Capella Festiva Treble Choir at Vassar College. She is also the founder and

CEO of Educate Without Borders, a not-for-profit organization that fosters literacy and education among youth in the Newburgh community and abroad. Additionally, she has participated in research opportunities to further her knowledge and skills in the sciences.

The All-National Honor Ensembles performers represent collaboration and creativity in its highest musical form. The All-National Honor Ensembles consist of a concert band, symphony orchestra, mixed choir, and jazz ensemble. Students were chosen through an audition process. The concert band and symphony orchestra will each have 155 and 152 instrumentalists respectively, the jazz ensemble 21 instrumentalists, and the mixed choir 281 vocalists. Eligible students have qualified for their state-level honor ensemble program and competed against top students for a spot in these national honor ensembles.

Selected students will be rehearsing a challenging repertoire in preparation for performing under the baton of five of the most prominent conductors in the United States: Dr. Z. Randall Stroope (Mixed Choir); Dr. Margery Deutsch (Symphony Orchestra); Dr. T. André Feagin (Concert Band); and Todd Stoll with Lauren Sevian (Jazz Ensemble). All conductors have received top honors in their field and will spend several days rehearsing with students before the concert.

Jayden Kollnics “Gym, because I like sports, especially base-ball and football.”

Massino Gugliemucci “Art, because we get to make things out of clay.”

Greetings from River City. In the face of all the chaos and torment that people in the midst of raging nature and violence in the world, are going through, all the political name-calling, accusations, even political violence, seems so extraordinarily childish, petty and self-indulgent, solving nothing. I find it wearing and most disheartening that even good and decent people get caught up in such behavior.

What must our children think of us that we cannot be civil in our disagreements? Passion without restraint is too often a wasteful, even dangerous state.

I have always believed that a community makes things happen. This past week, you may have read or seen posted the news that Scott Bartley was missing. It was wonderful news to hear he was found after nine days and was ok. Having been connected with this family for four generations now, I just wanted to say Thank You, to everyone who took the time to help the family get the word out and allowed the family to have peace again. Your actions and prayers were rewarded.

If you are working to help in the hurricane recovery, leaving your home to help others, thank you. Local families who have family and friends affected by any of the hurricanes, please pass the word on that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can help with the costs of restoring your life. Online information is available at the FEMA website: www.fema.gov.

Fall is here and with the start of this season brings the chance to witness

mother nature’s show of colors. Take the time to enjoy the show, it’s free. Another option for the season is picking of plums, grapes or Hudson Valley’s apples. There are so many types to choose. I will leave you with a simple apple recipe if your idea of fall is starting up the oven and having fresh baked apple something in the house.

District demonstrated its support for Cancer Awareness, prior to the recent home football game at Academy Field. Sponsored by the Debate Team of Newburgh Free Academy, more than 100 participants walked before the home crowd. The Debate Team Coach, Mrs. Formato-Santo, coordinated the event with the assistance of Mr. Robert Shust, Assistant NFA Principal. Mrs. Formato-Santo arranged to have representatives, teachers, administrators, students and cancer survivors take part in the program.

Most of the schools in the district participated, and Ms. Carol Mineo represented the Board of Education. The NFA Band under the direction of Mr. Chris Zoutis provided the music for the walkers. The spectators joined

in the hoopla when they saw their teachers from elementary, middle, and high school in the walking group. Several teachers who have lost their battle to cancer were recognized and remembered, during the solemn reading of their names.

Mr. Schust directed two people to the 50 yard side line directly in front of the home crowd that included Sgt. 1st Class Justin Rodriguez, member of the USAR and attired in his full dress uniform, and Fay Williams, social worker, for her support of NFA families, as well as, an

advocate for breast cancer fundraising, and a cancer survivor, too, noticeably bedecked with her pink outfit and pink cape.

Sgt. Rodriguez presented two awards sponsored by Marketing U.S. Army for Leadership for service to the community, one to Ms. Williams, and the other to NFA senior, Jake Cook, who was recognized for his coaching of the Unified Basketball Team. Following the cancer portion of the evening, the NFA Band played the National Anthem; the coin toss was made, and NFA went on to

play and beat Pine Bush.Congratulations to the NECSD, and

specifically, to NFA’s Debate Team and Mrs. Formato-Santo, for keeping the lights burning to one day beat all forms of cancer!

Hello New Windsor. October 1 will be our 12th Wedding Anniversary. I always joke with Jenn that it feels like we have been married for 50 years. She is not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not. Recently she took a job back with Hannaford after being gone from the company for a year after the store she was in was sold to another company.

As part of the deal Hannaford could not hire back any of the employees that were part of the deal for one year. Well the one year mark just hit in late August and my wife was hired back. Jenn is now the Assistant Store Manager at the New Windsor Hannaford putting her in the same Town that I work. I am not sure I like her working in the same town as me and don’t know if New Windsor is big enough for the both of us. Her first day on the job she was already asking if I wanted to meet her for lunch. When in reality I had so much work to do that day I just wanted to work and eat at my desk but I relented and had lunch with her. She loves the New Windsor Hannaford and the store manager Jackie Zucker and their entire team.

Happy Anniversary Jenn I love you so much and am so proud of you!

Bob “Gramps” Wilson, Beloved Wackoo #3 sent a couple of items of interest in selected issues of the 1913 newspapers: “1) on June 5, Hotel keeper Bill (PopPoo) Kennedy at Broadway and West Street bought a Maxwell Touring Car.”

“A week later he installed a sidewalk on his place on the west side of West Street. He wanted to pave the B’way path too but the city wouldn’t give him an established grade (whatever that meant). His son Bill Jr. became City Manager 40 years later. By that time, there was a sidewalk there.”

“2) on December 27, Charles Cavanaugh, having just retired from Lahey’s Brickyard in New Windsor as a barge captain, was run down and killed by a speeding West Shore RR locomotive. Along with the men at Lahey’s, the workers at Jova and at Rose were also saddened by the news.” Thanks, BW#3.

The Autumn equinox arrived silently, while I was a captive of a completely errant computer that kept refusing to “restore”, and which loaded three of my mailboxes with hundreds of copies of three emails that I could not get rid of nor send. You probably haven’t, but if you have received multiple copies of an email from me, I offer my profound apologies.

Henry David Thoreau on Oct. 12, 1852 wrote, “I am struck by the simplicity of light in the atmosphere in the autumn, as if the earth absorbed none, and out of this profusion of dazzling light came the autumnal tints.” Of all the seasons, Autumn is my favorite.

As always, I close with my prayers for God’s blessings on your heads, my dears.

at St. Joseph’s School in New Windsor, he was patriotically disturbed to notice there was no American Flag flying over the school. Immediately after inquiring the reason for this oversight, Cmdr. Schiela was informed the flagpole had been in disrepair, and the school could not afford to replace it.

Schiela quickly brought the dilemma to the attention of his post members at a regular monthly meeting. The solution was not only to repair and repaint the flagpole, but also to donate a new American Flag, as part of the CWV’s community program.

Upon the beginning of the new school year, work was completed, and the new flagpole was reinstalled by some of the CWV members. The new flag was presented to the school as part of the ceremony in the presence of Mrs. Cathy Cassel, Regional Superintendent, for the Archdiocese of New York, Lori Evanko, Principal, and Sr. Winnie, who travels from Yonkers once a week, to visit the students and assist in teaching religion in the classrooms. In addition to the

presentation, students were shown the proper handling, folding of, and the courtesy and respect for our flag, as well. Mrs. Ruckdeshel’s eighth graders have the responsibility for the flag raising and lowering each day.

The entire project was organized through the efforts of the school administrative assistant, Heather Casale. Commander Schiela stated, “I am deeply grateful for this opportunity to demonstrate our love, for the United States of America and for our grand American Flag to our young people. It is obvious by witnessing their respect at our ceremony today that our youth sincerely want to know and to understand our precious heritage.”

Stones Bath & Body Shop will be hosting a grand opening celebration on Saturday, September 30, 2017 from 11 to 5 pm. Located at 253 S William Street, anyone attending should follow the parade of balloons to the storefront

The store offers a wide range of products suitable for every customer: bath bombs, bubble bars, sugar scrubs, soy wax candles, shower jellies, essential oils, soaps, incense, and more!

Sherrie Wright, the owner of the shop, first entered the business after noticing the popularity of bath bombs

and bubble bars amongst her children. Wright took to the internet to learn the secret behind these crafted goodies and how to produce them by hand—all within the span of three years. Wright noticed how expensive these goods were in local stores and sought to create affordable, handmade alternatives for the community. “Quality for less. That is my motto,” Wright shared.

Wright chose 253 S William Street as the ideal location for her shop because she initially wanted something small to show off the products, and the location offers just that. But, Wright hopes that her business will grow

over time. Wright will be joined by her daughter, Andrea Wright,

on the day of the grand opening celebration. “I am very excited for the grand opening next

Saturday,” Andrea Wright exclaimed. Stones Bath and Body shop is open Wednesday-

Saturday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. They can be reached at (845) 591-0881

The Mount Saint Mary College Class of 1967 celebrated their 50th anniversary on Friday night with a trip down memory lane, a renewal of friendship, and a donation of nearly $50,000 to their alma mater.

The reunion of the Class of ’67 was one of many highlights at the Mount’s annual Alumni and Family Weekend, held September 22-24. Hundreds of successful grads headed back to campus to celebrate their accomplishments, catch up with old friends and professors, and see what’s new at the college that launched their careers.

Members of the Class of 1967 marked five decades since earning their degrees with a dinner and cocktail hour in the elegant James Finn Cotter Villa Library. Alumnae and their families were met by Dr. David Kennett, interim Mount president; James Cotter, longtime professor of English at the college; and many more friends.

On Saturday morning, nearly 20 alumni, current Mount students, and their families gave back to the local community through working with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh. Armed with rakes and shovels, the group improved the landscape of a property for a local family in need.

Later that morning, Shannon (Romanchuk) Saturno ’05 and Alice (Murphy) Yoder ’80 were presented with the college’s Distinguished Alumni Award, recognizing their contributions to society through their professional and

volunteer work. Saturno lost her three-year battle with breast cancer in July 2016, and her award was accepted by her husband, Kevin, and the couple’s young daughter.

Sean Glander ’06 earned the James V. McEnery Alumni Service Award, and Sr. Margaret Anderson, OP ’67 was honored with the President’s Award for Outstanding Service to the College. Sr. Anderson, a Dominican Sister of Hope, serves on the Mount’s Board of Trustees.

Throughout the weekend, successful Mount grads reconnected with classmates, took in soccer and tennis matches, enjoyed a barbecue lunch and a fireside dinner, attended a remembrance Mass, and more.

Mount Saint Mary College is ranked a Top-Tier Regional University by U.S. News & World Report, and offers bachelor’s and master’s degree programs for careers in healthcare, business, education, social services, communications, media, and more.

Multiple residents have voiced their concerns at the public hearings for new subdivision developments in the Town of Newburgh this past month, some using strong language towards the planning board.At the July 6 planning board public hearing of the Hudson Asset Subdivision, neighboring resident Judith Lobig was particularly concerned about the environmental impact and drainage of the site, asking for an environmental study before a decision was made. Lobig emphasized, however, that she wasn’t against

subdivisions in general:“I just want the Board to know we’re not opposed to subdivision and building, we just want it done responsibly and we want the least impact on us and our way of living,” stated Lobig at the July 6 meeting.Lobig arrived at the August 3 planning board meeting with a petition signed by 68 of the project’s immediate neighbors, urging the board to conduct an environmental impact study before making a decision. The board’s decision on the project was postponed for August 17, due to a missing necessary document.The August 3 meeting also included a public hearing

for two subdivisions proposed along New York State Route 300, each of which would turn a one family home into a two-family house for rent. The proposed plans had many locals voicing their concerns, some with strong opinions on the presence of rental homes and subdivisions in the town.“Why are you guys allowing these multiple homes into the town like this?” asked resident Arthur Segfried. “I’m really disgusted with what is going on here…this is not Newburgh anymore. Is there a master plan for the growth

Restorationwork begins

Developers to begin rehab of Dutch Reformed Church


Alembic Community Development has been given the green light to move ahead with a plan to rehabilitate the historic Dutch Reformed Church and the former Newburgh City Club on Grand Street. “The properties that we’re talking about are extraordinarily meaningful to the city,” said Alembic co-founder Benjamin Warnke at Newburgh City Hall on Thursday. The two properties are slated to be rehabbed for “community-based use.” Specific uses will be determined through a public review process, Warnke said. “The best way to decide on their future use is to engage the community, and doing that in purposeful way,” he said.

This Week


Merari Rodriguez joined Newburgh Free Academy’s girls’ soccer team when she was in eighth grade, and she is now

enjoying her fifth and final season with the Lady Goldbacks.

“Man, I love it so much,” said Rodriguez, following a home overtime victory over FDR last week. “It’s the best feeling to be on the field. It’s a way to express yourself.”

Rodriguez is a team captain and

team’s longest-tenured player who primarily plays midfield and defense, but some of her first games as a Lady Goldback were on offense.

“We had injuries and no one could score,” said Dave Doulin, Newburgh’s coach, of Rodriguez’s early varsity days in eighth grade. “So we brought her up for the last four or five games of the season, and she actually scored a goal in the sectional game against Pine Bush.”

And since then, Rodriguez has used her skills to bolster the team’s defense and try to ensure the ball stays with the Lady Goldbacks when she wins those one-on-one encounters with 50/50 balls.

“That’s what she does the best,” said Doulin.And her fight on the field, with her ball instincts, are

some of the reasons she can play midfield and defense.“She’s been everywhere really,” said Doulin.

“Wherever we need her, she goes.”“I benefit the team more in the back,” she said.In her final season with the Lady Goldbacks,

Rodriguez is enjoying a sense of camaraderie she has not always sensed in previous seasons. And that has led to a team that is always working to become a more complete squad this season.

“We’re a family this season,” she said. “As a team, we do it together.”

After she graduates from Newburgh Free Academy next June, Rodriguez wants to possibly study exercise science in college and play soccer.

Merari Rodriguez enjoys her fifth season of varsity soccer


Newburgh’s girls’ soccer team has been in many close matches this season, and visiting FDR partnered in that suspense Monday, Sept. 18.

Newburgh’s sluggish offense this season took a 1-0 lead with 27:48 left in the first half when Jessamyn Cuervo put the ball in the net from about 40 yards out. But the lead did not last, and Marissa Velez tied it for FDR with 10:37 left in the second half.

The match went to overtime and went through the first 10-minute period before Isabel Vazquez scored with 7:57 left in the second overtime period.

The lead held, and the Lady Goldbacks improved 3-4.

“It was amazing. We didn’t know what was going to happen,” said Vazquez, after the 2-1 vctory. “I got lucky. The ball came to me, and I just shot it in.”

Newburgh had a chance to lead 2-0 and avoid overtime when Wendy Guerra failed to score on a penalty kick.

“We had a lot of chances to put the game away, early and in the second half,” said Dave Doulin, Newburgh’s coach. “If we put our chances away, it never comes down to that.”

The Lady Goldbacks have been trying to reach .500 and beyond after some close losses and a trouncing from Red Hook earlier this season. Facing FDR nearly ended with more futility until Vazquez finally finished for the team.

“Ever since the Red Hook game we have been playing hard,” said Doulin. “We have been in everything, defending really well. Just not finishing our chances.”

SportsMid Hudson Times Wednesday, September 27, 2017

By MIKE ZUMMO

It was a tough afternoon for the Newburgh Free Academy football team.

The Goldbacks were undone by penalties and a costly turnover 3 yards from the end zone in a 31-28 loss to the Cornwall Dragons on Saturday afternoon.

“We had a lot of penalties,” Newburgh coach Bill Bianco said. “We didn’t execute well. I don’t know if it’s a combination of a Saturday afternoon game, which is a little different, or just playing bad, but give them credit. They played well. When you make as many mistakes as we did, it’s hard to beat a good team.”

The Goldbacks (3-1) trailed by as many as 10 points several times in the game, but had their best chance to mount a

comeback in the fourth quarter, when they marched to the Cornwall 1-yard line on the legs of Sincere Tatum.

However, Newburgh’s hurry-up offense broke down, resulting in a fumble by quarterback Terrance Anderson that was recovered by Cornwall with 3:12 remaining in the game.

“That definitely hurt,” Bianco said. “You have to execute inside the 10. We didn’t do that. I’m surprised. Our kids kept fighting, but you have to convert in there and it is what it is. We didn’t convert when it mattered.”

The Newburgh defense forced a three-and-out, and the offense put up a touchdown when Anderson connected with Uh’Charion Henderson for a 10-yard touchdown pass. However, the Goldbacks

failed to recover the ensuing onside kick and two Cornwall kneel-downs ended the game.

The Goldbacks also entered the game nursing some injuries, playing without running back Jadon Monroe and tight end and defensive end Josh Williams.

Defensively, the Goldbacks had trouble dealing with Cornwall’s senior running back T.J. Gayle, who ran for 264 yards and two long touchdowns, one for 76 and the other for 80 yards.

“He’s a good player,” Bianco said. “A credit to them. They made the plays. I

have to watch the film and see exactly how they were hitting us.”

The Dragons (4-0) also got a touchdown pass from quarterback Kieran Kreider to Ian Engenito in the first quarter and a field goal from Chris DiMedio.

Anderson connected with Hanson for two touchdowns and ran for an 81-yard touchdown. Tatum also scored for Newburgh, which will return home Thursday night to host Warwick.

“Hopefully next week, we get Jadon back,” Bianco said. “That will help. Get Josh back too. That’ll help.”
