Remembering A Night of Darkness By Scott Webber

Tues., Nov. 9, 1965, at 5:28 p.m., was one of those dayspeople will never forget. It was the night the lights wentout across the northeastern United States and Canada.

It ranks up there with Nov. 22, 1963, when PresidentKennedy was shot; Aug. 31, 1997, when Princess Diana’s lifecame to a shocking end in a Paris automobile accident; andwith Sept. 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center collapsed.

Over 40 yrs. ago television was in black and white.People didn’t have cable systems, computers or cell phones.Everything attached to electricity stopped at that moment.It was estimated that 800,000 people were trapped in sub-way cars, while others were stuck in stopped elevators.

Manhattan was at a ‘stand-still,’ including radio sta-tions except for WOR who stayed on air because they weretransmitting from New Jersey. Newspapers presses wouldnot work. The New York Times was lent the use of thepresses of the Newark Evening News, an afternoon paper,to print their hybrid edition for Wed. morning. The Timeslogo and headline type was printed, but the rest of thepaper had the printing type style of the Newark News.

Last week, I talked with those who remembered theday; we were all 40 years younger. It was a cold night andthe temperatures were down in the 20’s. I remember a fullmoon shining through the window that night. Roseann

Annunziato was five-years-old, living with her family inBayside, Queens. They made a fire in the fireplace and set-tled down in its glare on the living room floor.

Mindy and Ira Scher lived in the Bronx. Ira was on hisway to work, but the darkness caused him to go back home.Mindy was 22 and just out of nursing school.

At the Pine Island Post Office, Postmaster – RosemarieZygmunt recalled being 13 yrs. old, and in the eighth grade.She and her friends went downtown to the Sweet Shop (nowthe Harvester Luncheonette) to see what it was all about.

"We had a lot of bars back then, which are now gone,but we do have a traffic light which we didn’t have then,"she noted. Diane Meacham, who was on-line for stamps,said she was 15 then and that the Pine Island Hotel hadchicken dinners for $3.65. They spent their non-schoolhours working on the black dirt farms.

Evelyn Lord was 25 and worked at Mechanical Rubber.When it went dark, she got hold of her battery-poweredradio to find out what was happening. Louise Macheronewas 10 and remembers her father got home the next morn-ing at 4:30 a.m. to their Bayside, Queens, home – took ashower and went back to work. Her sister kept saying shethought the ‘blackout’ was the work of aliens.

"It was the first time I ever saw New Yorkers being niceto each other," said John Moore, who was 34 and lived inhis Manhattan apartment. Strangers becoming friendswith strangers was a frequent observation heard that night. Insubways, strangers opened up to strangers, like old friends.

Phyllis Briller was 21 and a junior at Geneseo StateTeachers College in upstate NY, near Rochester. The boyswere sitting on sofas, with girls – in the girls’ dorm lounge,(that’s where dating took place back then). When the lightswent out they wanted to make sure the boys all left before

locking the dorm, she recalled.Barbara White was in her 20s, when the elevator

stopped between floors at R.H. Macy’s on 34th St. inManhattan. She says they were there for quite sometime.A 25-year-old Columbia graduate student, Richard Hull,was speaking on Kenya, at a Harlem library.

John Settembre has not changed much in 40 years.Now 82, he still has a droplight and a charged-up car bat-tery. Back in Aug. 14, 2003, when the lights went out againat 4:10 p.m., John did what he did in 1965, he strung up anelectric cord from his droplight to his car battery and hehad light for over five hours of darkness.

On Nov. 9 he ran a cord out of his front window to hiscar – parked in front of his place in Richmond, in theJamaica section of Queens, right off the VanWyck Blvd.leading to Kennedy Airport I passed by his place that Nov.9, on my way to Kennedy Airport to catch a 5:45 flight toDallas back to Oklahoma where I lived and taught college.

I was boarding the plane, at the American AirlinesTerminal, when everything went dark at 5:28 p.m. I was 33then and spent the night in the lighted and heated airplanewhich kept the motors running. They served us supper,put us to bed if we wanted. The crew played card gameswith those who didn’t want to go to bed. We were givenpillows and blankets. They had an all night snack bar andcoffee and drinks. At 5:30 a.m., after the lights had been onagain for an hour, they cleaned out the plane, put on a new crew,fed us breakfast and finally we got off, from a long line at 9 a.m.

When we got to Dallas, it was fogged-in, so we circledwhile they fed us lunch and finally landed at Fort Worth,where buses took us to our cars in Dallas.

Not bad for a three-hour flight, but this was beforetoday’s pretzels.

Harvest to Holly Tour Features KetchumHouse for the First Time

The Ketchum House, 26 Church Street, will be on theWarwick Historical Society’s Harvest to Holly WalkingTour for the first time when guests visit the Society’s prop-erties on Nov. 19 and 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. All eightproperties, including two other houses – The ShingleHouse and 1810 House - will be decorated forThanksgiving and Christmas.

The American Federal-style Ketchum House provides

a setting for decorating that is unusual in Warwick. Somesay it is the Village of Warwick’s only house of that archi-tectural style, popular from 1783-1815 when the nationwas developing its own personality. The Revolution waspast and the Constitution establishing a federal govern-ment was being written and ratified in this period.

Azariah Ketchum, a Revolutionary War veteran,fought under Col. Hathorn, who lived in the stone house atCounty Highway 1 and Hathorn Road. In addition to thattie with Warwick, Ketchum married the daughter of aWarwick farmer in 1781. The couple spent years in NewYork City where Azariah Ketchum’s excellent carpentryskills were in demand, often for Federal-style townhousesthat were very popular among new housing stock.

When the Ketchum family moved to Warwick in 1809,Azariah built a home with a floor plan like the townhous-es he had built in New York. The house on Church Streetalso emulates Manhattan town houses with its semicircularfanlight carving over the front door, narrow 12 over 12glass paneled windows, shutters on the windows and six-panel doors.

High ceilings, a graceful staircase that is continuous tothe attic, and elaborately carved mantles will be a wonder-ful backdrop for holiday finery. The original wood carv-ings, inside and outside, are of excellent quality and havesurvived well. They are worth seeing even when they aren’t“dressed up” for the holidays.

Tickets and reservations indicating the day -November 19 or 20 - and time you wish to tour (allow atleast two and a half hours) can be purchased at www.war-wickhistoricalsociety.org; the Port of Call, 40 Main street,from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., November 12 and 13; or by calling986-3236. Capacity is limited, so reservations are a must.Prices are $20 for adults, $10 for youth 5 - 17, and $15 forseniors 65-plus.

The tour is a fundraiser for the Society. In addition tomoney from ticket sales, the Society sells sponsorships foreach building. Thus far Seeley and Durland Insurance issponsoring the Old School Baptist Meeting House andMary Bradner is sponsoring the Carriage House at Baird’sTavern where an early physician’s office has been recreatedfrom items used by her father-in-law, Dr. Morris RefrewBradner Sr.

Library Board ofTrustees Meeting

The Board of Trustees of the Albert Wisner Public Library willmeet for their regular monthly meeting on Tues., Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.at the Library, 2 Colonial Avenue, Warwick. The Public is welcome.


U-Haul Trucks Draw OppositionBy Scott Webber

On Nov. 2, the Warwick Town Planning Boardapproved four applications, adjourned two others, andagreed to have a public hearing on a proposed 120 ft. high,wireless, telecommunications facility. The biggest issue, atWed. night’s meeting, was the application of John Hubertto amend his site plan approval to allow him to rent-out U-Haul trucks. Hubert operates the Carriage House Storagebusiness.

Opposition came from the Vincent Mezzetti family,nearby neighbors on County Rte. 1, who have , from thestart, opposed the Carriage House Storage facility onHathorn Rd. Representing them, was Goshen attorney,Alan Lipman, who normally represents developers andargues why the zoning code allows construction. This timeLipman was on the opposition side of the argument, as heargued why the code did not allow U-Haul Trucks.

Lipman called the U-Haul operation a business thatwould serve non-Carriage House renters, adding, with hisbig zone code book-in-hand, that the trucks were “not a

principle use, not be permitted as an accessory and notauthorized.” It was not “customarily incidental” when theywere used by non-renters.

When faced with only three Board members present,which would require all three to vote favorably, Lipmanreceived an adjournment to Nov. 16, when hopefully moreBoard members would be there.

Another adjournment, this one to Dec. 21, was givento the Emily Austin-Galterio application for preliminaryapproval of a proposed 6 – lot major subdivision, known asFairview Heights, on the north side of Pine IslandTurnpike, 250 ft. west of Shadow Drive – which drew agroup of adjoining property owners , most of whom askedquestions.

One property owner was upset over the easementsproposed by the builder, declaring that he was “disappoint-ed” in the way the Board was handling the application andcausing him a lot of financial expense.

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.

This week we celebrate Veterans Day on Fri.,Nov. 11. A federal holiday, everyone is looking for-ward to the long weekend as government buildings,banks, schools, etc., will be closed. It’s easy to notethat those who have already given so much are stillgiving to us in the form of rest from our labors. Butwill the labors of our brave and gallant Veterans everend? We need only to read the paper everyday tobecome aware of the sacrifices still being made forour benefit. Often taken for granted, Election Daytook place this week, too. How appropriate that theday set aside for Americans everywhere to be politi-cally heard occurs in such close proximity toVeterans Day. Freedom of Speech in our votingbooths is just one of the many causes given toAmericans by the efforts of our Veterans. Never end-ing conflicts seem to be getting worse everyday.Methods of war are more sophisticated but destruc-tion and death continues to mount, and pain andsorrow is commonplace. Still, those that we honoron Nov. 11 continue to give.

Services will be held at the Veterans Memorialon North Main Street here in Florida on Nov. 11 at11 a.m. Immediately following, a flag burning cere-mony will be held behind the American Legion Hall(Police Station) at Cohen Circle.

Congratulations to the S.S. Seward Boys andGirls Soccer Teams for winning the first game on theway to the State Championship. Credit also to theFlorida Youth Soccer Program, which starts them onthe way to success at a very young age.

A meeting of the Youth Recreation Committeewill be held Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at Village Hall. Allvillage residents are welcome to attend and volun-teers are encouraged.

Golden Hill Learns About Water ConservationThird and fifth grade students at Golden Hill

Elementary School in Florida recently participated in aWater Conservation program, sponsored by the OrangeCounty Water Authority. The week long program of activ-ities and demonstrations is designed to bring home themessage that water conservation should be part of ourdaily routine. In order to have water resources availablewhen needed in our growing communities, everyone mustuse their conservation consciousness every day.

Conservation educator, Deb Keane, demonstrates to afifth grade class the Groundwater Model to help stu-dents understand where their drinking water comes

from and how they can help protect it.

Santa’s Helpers at this years’ Florida Presbyterian Church Craft Fair - MelissaKnudsen, Heather Knudsen and Brooke Burnside - were a tremendous help to the chil-dren who bought gifts from the “Children's Store.” The monies raised at the craft fair

have gone to renovate the church’s kitchen. Originally the basement of the church wasa dirt floor with cabinets that were falling off the walls. Now due to the dedication andteam work over the past several years the craft fair has rebuilt the old basement into a

state of the art kitchen.

The doors opened and by 9:15 a.m. and the line to getin was out the door. The free admission came along withfree chances for door prizes and a decorated bucket used tocarry the items selected. The Craft Fair Committee are adevoted group of individuals who worked together to cre-ate some of the most delightful and original gifts and dec-

orations you’ll ever find.A section called "Santa's Workshop," was exclusive to

children only where they could go shopping for friends andfamily. Downstairs in the kitchen, volunteers cooked eggsandwiches, chili, sea food wraps, and hot dogs to nameonly a few items. A bakery section was mobbed as cakes,pies, fudge, cookies and deserts that were donated came inand went out faster than you could imagine.

Raffles Tickets were sold for baskets full of donatedgoodies, toys, candles, Beauty Products, paintings andmore. This was a craft fair run by a group of individualswho are second to none.

Kelly Opposes Proposal That WouldTake Federal Tax Deductions Away From

Warwick ResidentsU.S. Congresswoman Sue Kelly has

begun fighting against some proposedchanges to the federal tax code that is beingproposed by the bipartisan PresidentialTax Reform Panel. Kelly especially oppos-es the proposed elimination of thestate/local income tax deduction andhome mortgage interest deduction that areparticularly relied upon by residents inWarwick and throughout New York.

The Congresswoman said that notonly will she fight against these proposalsthat would "especially punish middle-classHudson Valley residents who are alreadyovertaxed to begin with," but she is goingone step further and proposing the addi-tion of a property-and-school tax credit onfederal income tax returns to help betteralleviate the tax burden on Warwick resi-dents, including those who do not itemizedeductions.

"Now is the time to be looking forways to bring more tax relief to NewYorkers, not to be developing ways to takeit away," said Kelly. The panel of both

Democrats and Republicans was created bythe President earlier this year and chargedwith the task of simplifying the federal taxcode. Kelly said she fully supports a sim-pler tax code, but not at the expense of theaverage Hudson Valley resident who wouldstand to lose thousands of dollars in taxdeductions each year under these propos-als, if they were ever enacted into law.

Kelly also spoke out against the panel'sproposal to eliminate current tax relief forinterest paid on a home equity loan or lineof credit and she opposes the Panel's pro-posed elimination of the 10-percentincome tax bracket that CongressionalRepublicans created and passed into law in2001.

Rabbitt: Recognize the Heroes who Sacrificed For Our Freedom

"On this, the 60th anniversary of theend of World War II, I am proud to honorthe military veterans who fought and sac-rificed for our future," saidAssemblywoman Annie Rabbitt."November 11 is a day to recognize and

pay tribute to those who put their lives on theline for our country."

Everyone is invited to participate inlocal events that honor veterans and tosupport initiatives such as the Patriot Plan.Rabbitt said that under this plan, NewYorkers who serve in the armed forces areassured certain deserved benefits and legalprotections. New York also has a wonder-ful Operation Recognition program.

During World War II and the Koreanconflict, many people left high school toserve in the military, and they neverreturned to finish their studies and obtaintheir high school diplomas. This programallows veterans of those eras to receivetheir diplomas, at no cost, because of theamount of knowledge and life experiencesthey gained through their service toAmerica.

"Not only do we need to give credit toour veterans, but we must keep today’smilitary heroes in our hearts," said Rabbitt."Many Americans are protecting freedomin Iraq, Afghanistan and other troubledareas throughout the world. We owe it tothese men and women to show our thanksfor what they have done for us."

For the Warwick Girls Varsity Soccer team, just get-ting to their last game was history in the making. Thelast time a Warwick girl’s soccer team had gone to theSection IX title game was nearly 30 years ago, in 1978.While many were surprised that Warwick was playingfor the championship against Pine Bush, Warwick coachSusan Waddell was not. She always maintained that hergirls were the most underrated team in Section IX.

This year’s Varsity team was lead by a core of sevenseniors, AnnaMaria Arias, Katelin Blaine, NicoleBurton, Colleen Cameron, Kerri Hurley, Emily Kearnsand Megan Metzger – Blaine, Burton and Metzger havebeen on the team since their freshman year and haveendured three years of disappointing early defeats in thesection playoffs. They were determined that this yearwould be different. Accordingly, they set their sights ontheir sectional opponent’s one game at a time.

On Mon., Oct. 31, the girls traveled to Minisink forthe opening round of the section playoffs. They wentinto that game hoping to avenge two regular-seasonlosses against this perennial rival. Minisink scored in thefirst half, then senior co-captain Megan Metzger tied itup early in the second half of play. The score remainedtied at the end of regulation forcing two 10-minuteovertimes. With the score still tied, the game went to twofive-minute sudden death overtimes. Halfway throughthe second five minutes, senior co-captain Katelin

Blaine scored the golden goal and Warwick defeatedMinisink, 2-1, advancing to the Sectional semifinals tobe played at Monroe-Woodbury.

When Warwick and Monroe-Woodbury met in thefirst game of the regular season Warwick lost 1-0. In thismeeting, on Nov. 2, Blaine scored two goals forWarwick, one in each half, but Monroe-Woodburyanswered back each time and at the end of regulationthe game was tied, 2-2. The first 10-minute overtimewas scoreless, then two minutes into the second OT jun-ior Ginger Skinner put one past the Monroe keeper.Warwick held on for the remainder of the overtime andwon the game sending the Wildcats to the Section IXChampionship game that was held last Saturday nightin the Sports Dome in Milton, NY against Pine Bush.

The first half of the championship game was score-less as both teams battled for the first goal. Early in thesecond half, in a skirmish in front of the goal, Pine Bushmanaged to get the ball past Warwick goal-keeper, soph-omore Emily Shields. Warwick continued to battle buton this night Pine Bush proved to be the better team asthey won the Section IX Championship over Warwick,3-0. Still and all, Coach Waddell is proud of the girls,proud of the grit, determination and heart they dis-played throughout the season, with outstanding leader-ship from her departing seniors. This determinationwas truly evident during the section playoffs as theyplayed their way to the title game, something that had-n’t been done in Warwick in a generation.

SPORTS FANS!I BET YOUDIDN’TKNOW

During the 2005 baseball season, only one player in themajors finished the year with at least a .300 batting average(.306), 30 home runs (32), 40 doubles (44), 20 stolen bases(21), 100 runs (110), and 100 RBIs (101). Can you namehim? Surprisingly, that player was outfielder Jason Bay of thelowly Pittsburgh Pirates, who was the 2004 National LeagueRookie of the Year.

Most fans mark the start of pro football’s modern era withthe 1958 NFL championship game, when the Baltimore Coltsbeat the New York Giants in overtime. But arguably it start-ed more than eight years earlier, on an otherwise forgettableSunday in 1950. The date was November 5th, and the leaguehad only 13 teams. But in the six games played that day, anincredible 41 future Hall of Famers took the field as eitherplayers or coaches. They included quarterbacks such asNorm Van Brocklin, Otto Graham and Sammy Baugh; run-ning backs such as Marion Motley, Doak Walker and Elroy(Crazy Legs) Hirsch; and others such as Chuck Bednarik,Ernie Stautner, Lou Groza, Tom Landry, Curly Lambeau,George Blanda, Paul Brown and George Hallas.

On Notre Dame’s first play in a win over Washington inSeptember of 2005, new head coach Charlie Weis ran a playrequested by a 10-year-old boy. Earlier in the week, Weis hadgone to the hospital to visit Montana Mazurkiewicz (namedafter Weis’ college roommate at Notre Dame, Joe Montana),who had an inoperable brain tumor. The boy asked if hecould call a play, a pass to the right side. Weis honored therequest and the Irish picked up 13 yards. Sadly,Mazurkiewicz died the day before the game.

Warwick FootballDefeated by KingstonWildcats Reflect on Outstanding Year

By Gregory Sirico

Unfortunately, only one team will win their final gamein the New York State Public High School Play-offs - theState Championship and this year it will not be theWarwick Wildcats. Last Fri., night, Warwick was defeatedby the Kingston Tigers, 28–19, before 3,000 spectators atDietz Stadium, but that did not take away from the greatefforts that the players left on the field.

Warwick’s defense was led by senior Joe Stolzenberg,who recorded 14 tackles and by fellow seniors Ryan Darceyand Matt Stranski with 10 and 8, respectively. Mostimpressive was the play of the defensive line and ends thatdug in and performed well against a difficult Kingston line.

Kingston jumped out to a 12 – 0 lead, but that deficitwas cut to 12 – 7 when Matt Stranski scored after a longcompletion from Ryan Darcey to Evan Wyler to bring theball to the Kingston 15 yard line. Stranski scored six playslater. The Wildcats stopped Kingston on fourth and goal togo in down, 12 – 7, at the half. A touchdown saving tacklewas made by Ryan Darcey and Adam Washington.

In the second half of the game, Kingston jumped outto a 20 – 7 lead, before the Wildcat’s kicked it into gear.Stranski, Darcey, Hrinya, Stolzenberg and company got thebelly play moving and set-up two long touchdown recep-tions by sophomore Isai Reyes (thrown by Darcey) to cutthe lead to 20 – 19. Kingston answered with a score and atwo point conversion to put the game out of reach late inthe forth quarter.

The Wildcats will take salvation in their second con-secutive division championship and begin end-of-seasonfestivities including the awards banquet and "Hall of Fame"inductions to be announced within the week. Stay tunedfor the end of season statistics in the next issue of TheWarwick Valley Dispatch.

Purple Wave Advances to State Meet

By Richard Furst

With the focus on pack running anddoing what is needed to advance, the girlscross country team executed the plan andoverwhelmed Class AA to win big andadvance to the State Meet to be held atQueensbury HS on Nov. 13 at 10:30 a.m.The plan was to run relaxed for two milesthen pick up the pace in the last mile.Leading the team was three-time Section IXchampion Aislinn Ryan in 17:43. Ryan ranthe last mile in 5:09 to win by over a minute."It felt like any other race," said Ryan. "Ididn’t feel like I was running especially fast."This bodes well for Ryan as the most com-petitive races of the year will be happeningeach Saturday for the next month.

Following Ryan and running 6:04 forthe last mile was Tori Pennings in fourth in18:58. Next came the purple pack of CecelieBraadt, Kaitlyn Hurley, Samantha Grady

and Kristen Peluso finishing eighth througheleventh respectively and just fourteen sec-onds apart from 19:31 to 19:45. Roundingout the top seven was Joanna Stein in 13 in19:57. Every one of these girls has steppedup at some point in the season and rungreat for the team. Ye they all have not hadtheir best race on the same day yet. If thathappens on Saturday or Sat., Nov. 20 atBowdoin Park, then the team will earn a bidto the national championship to be held inEugene, Oregon on Dec. 3. The team hasbeen on a smooth upward performancecurve all season with no major setbacks.What a great season for them. If they stayon the curve and put together two greatraces each, then they will be in a position tovie for a top ten placing in the nation. It’sthe kind of stuff that dreams are made of.Stay tuned. There’s more great running tocome from this team.

On Fri., Nov. 4, Publisher, Min Jae Hongescorted the first graders of Brownie Troop756 on a tour of The Warwick ValleyDispatch. The girls were amazed to see theaged copies of newspapers that are over 100years old stored at The Dispatch office at 2Oakland Avenue. They were able to watch Mr.Hong assemble ads and copy on the comput-er, and even help to title a headline!

The girls took this tour as an event relat-ed to the "Brownies Through the Years Try-It,"the first badge they have earned as Brownies.For this badge, they studied the life of peoplein the 1930s, including the fact that there wasno television available to people in theirhomes at that time, and how people relied onnewspapers for news and entertainment. As asouvenir of their visit, the girls were eachgiven an old printing line plate, complete withexplanation on how each plate would bemade by hand and pressed into the paper. Ah,the days before computers…a concept veryforeign to today's child.

The girls completed their day with anappearance in the Sanfordville Talent Show,appearing as Orphans from the musical"Annie," and performing "You're Never FullyDressed without a Smile."

Brownie Troop 756 poses in front of print-ing press with Min Jae Hong at The

Warwick Valley Dispatch.
