Highland Mills - Another Lions Club annual Yard Sale is over. Great deals from vendors and good

food from Debbie Demenza and other cooks – es-pecially the sausage sandwiches…Yumm.

Often articles say, “beautiful weath-er” and this becomes a worn out phrase, but it really was beautiful. St. Patrick’s parking lot is always an excellent loca-tion big enough to fit all vendors and parking….well almost. Most vendors did well; especially early in the morn-ing when the sale area was packed.

Lions had set up a canopy to protect them from visits to dermatologists. No one seemed to be hawking wares because the Lions had quality items donated to them. For example, there

EDITORIAL

Together we can be Better The story of conflict in Woodbury continues...that could be good, but, in many cases it is not. Because we live in a republic with democratic prin-ciples, diversity of opinion should be settled by the ballot. Then hopefully we can say, “Live and let live.” That’s the philosophical foundation for our governance.

Recorded in 1Samuel in the Scripture are two men exemplifying both how to govern, and, how not to govern. The men of Israel chose Saul to be the first king over them. While God was not pleased with their desire for a king, he did give them their desire. He knew that when men rule, power corrupts. King Saul liked David after he slew the giant Goliath. But later, after women sang “Saul killed his thousands but David his ten thousands,” Saul became jealous and bitter and sought diligently to kill David. But David did not hate Saul.

Young David was then secretly anointed to be king and behaved with great wisdom. Although later David let sin rule his life for a while, God established him and his throne forever.

Rather than letting natural instincts rule, we ought to seek to love oth-ers; just as the bible tells us how Ruth loved Naomi and as Jonathan loved David, and as Jesus loves everyone.

We can have differences of opinion but we should also be able to get along with one another. This way we can have a better future - together.

were nice pruning saws with multiple folding blades which were donated by Rick Walls. They went like hotcakes. Other interesting objects were an-tique Royal typewriters, a traveling trunk from the late 1800s, and a box full of rubber duckys.

Woodbury Lions also departed from their traditional Country Ramble which normally is held in August. This was the first year of an Annual Lions Golf Tournament. Held at Falkirk Es-tates and Golf Course on September

12th, over fifty golfers hit the links in the morning. Mike Bennett, WHUD’s talk show host for years, and a Wood-bury native, was especially witty as Master of Ceremonies. Readers can re-fer to the Lions Club half page “Thank You” in this edition where benefac-tors, major sponsors, friends, donors and special thanks are listed.

Funds received from these events go to the Lions’ work in the area of health, eye care, community service and other charitable works.

James was one of the few, courageous legislators to vote “no” 

As a parent of school-aged children, there’s only one choice for State As-sembly this November: re-elect James Skoufis. James has been a tireless advo-cate for our students, our schools, and our community – without question, he deserves another term.

For years prior to his arrival in the Assembly, school aid was being active-ly and disproportionately taken away from suburban and upstate schools through something called the Gap Elimination Adjustment. Thanks to James and like-minded colleagues, the scheme was finally done away with this year despite opposition from New York City lawmakers. When Cornwall’s bud-get was tight a few years ago and a sec-

ond grade classroom was set to be cut, James secured the extra funding neces-sary to save that classroom. 

When his own party put forward a draconian piece of legislation last year that sought to inject even more high-stakes testing into our teacher’s evalua-tions, James was one of the few, coura-geous legislators to vote “no.” 

Actions always speak louder than words.  James has proven time and time again that he is fighting for our best in-terests, both here and in Albany.    He deserves our overwhelming support on November 8th – please join me in voting to re-elect Assemblyman James Skoufis. Nicole Gold Cornwall

Megan would like to purchase, in-stall and decorate a weather-proof receiving bin so the public can leave food donations for the Animal Shel-ter. The plan is to erect the bin adja-cent to the Dog Park for easy access.

Councilman Timothy Arone sug-gested that she contact Dr. Carol Ro-shkind, a local veterinarian in Cen-tral Valley and let her know what she planning and she may be able to advertise or help in some way. Af-ter further discussion the Board ap-proved the project.

Resolution - Pilgrim Pipeline Scoping Process: Correspondence was received from Town of Rosen-dale Town Supervisor Jeanne Walsh and Councilmember Jen Metzger regarding the beginning of the scop-ing process for the Pilgrim Pipeline which will be reviewed by the NYS-

The work involved would be to grade to area so it is flat, lay gravel so the base of the shed is pro-tected from the ground, temporarily alter the existing fencing around the property so the shed can be installed and coordinate with the Highway Department and the Animal Control Officer for all the work to be done.

Matthew will be doing fundraising to help with the cost of supplies and the purchase of the shed. He plans to have it all completed by the end of September. The Board approved this project and authorized the Supervisor

Highland Mills – On September 11, 2001 everyone was in shock. Emo-tions ran the gamut from horror, dis-belief, and anger evoking tears from men and women alike.

Ten years later two monuments were unveiled at the Woodbury Fire Depart-ment’s entrance in Highland Mills. Su-pervisor John Burke, Mayor Michael Queenan, Thomas Sullivan of Smith, Seaman & Quackenbush and Maria Hunter unveiled the monument.

Every year the Fire Department re-

members the fallen. The Woodbury Gazette’s article after the dedication noted that “Many days went by be-fore any understanding began to take place. Prayer services were being held not only in America, but around the world. The death toll was staggering! New York’s finest men and women re-sponded to the disaster not yet aware

that an attack on the people of the United States was in progress. As busi-ness people fled the Twin Towers, fire-men, EMS responders, police and oth-ers rushed into the inferno to rescue survivors and to contain the inferno.”

This year the ceremony was opened in prayer by Father Joseph Tyrrell who has been recently assigned to St. Pat-rick Church in Highland Mills. Mi-chael Hanson, Woodbury Fire Safety Officer spoke about that terrible day. A bag piper played “Amazing Grace”

and Boy Scouts from Troop 4 were re-sponsible for the flag.

After Father Tyrrell gave the bene-diction many Woodbury residents who attended the remembrance re-mained at the memorial talking with friends. The DeVenuto family and associates are always thanked for do-nating the memorial’s base.

Schmitt proposes 3 debates for 99th Assembly DistrictWTBQ radio has already agreed to host one of the debates live on air

Colin Schmitt the Republican, Con-servative, Independence and Reform Party’s candidate for the 99th Assembly District today challenged his opponent James Skoufis to a series of three debates.

Schmitt stated, “Our neighbors in the 99th Assembly District deserve the chance to hear from both candidates. The 2016 Election is a pivotal one for

the future of our community and state. A series of three debates would pro-

vide a perfect chance to discuss our re-cords, such as my opponents record of voting 97% of the time with the NYC DeBlasio Democratic machine, and our plans for the future. I hope my op-ponent will agree to give all voters a chance to hear from us.”

M-W Athlete of the WeekSeptember 16, 2016

Tanya PrabhakerOutstanding Tennis player singled out

The Monroe-Woodbury Athletic Di-rector, Lori Hock, would like to an-nounce that Tanya Prabhaker is the “Athlete of the Week” for the week ending September 16, 2016 for the Monroe-Woodbury Girls Varsity Tennis team coached by Chris Vero.

Tanya, a senior, has been a mem-ber of the Varsity Girls Tennis Team for the last two years. This season Tanya is playing 2nd Singles and is Co-Captain of the team.  Tanya is off to a great start, most recently defeat-

ing her opponent from Cornwall in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. 

Tanya’s work ethic has been out-standing and she sets a great example for her teammates. Tanya excels not only on the tennis courts but also in the classroom.  She maintains an “A” average and is enrolled in many AP courses this year as well as the Sci-entific Research program.  Tanya is the epitome of a Monroe-Woodbury Crusader student athlete.

Congratulations Tanya!

Add a little ExtraBy Jon Hunter

Jimmy Johnson once said, “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.” That is my favorite way to point out the difference between what makes things extraordinary rather than ordinary.

It really is a matter of simply going that little bit further to push things past the point of regularity. We should always strive to make an extra effort and reach for the extraordinary, even if it’s a small effort. Always ask yourself if what you’re doing is ordinary or extraordinary and then give that little extra if needed.

Here’s the way I see it: It’s often the little things in life that make the biggest dif-ference.

An Active Summer for American Legion Post 779Gatehouse and Post 779 will honor all veterans on October 16th

By Benjamin Meyers

Woodbury – American Legion Post 779 members in Woodbury have had an active summer this year. It shouldn’t be a surprise because you often see two or three of the veterans set up outside of one of our post offices when weather is permitting. There they offer a fifty/fifty raffle which is one of the ways they raise funds necessary to send a Wood-bury high school student to the Legion’s New York State Boys Camp.

Like last year the Woodbury Com-munity Association again gave Post 779 a table on the ninth green and encour-aged golfers to support the post. But in addition to WCA, this year the Lions Club also gave the post two spots on the links. Most recently they were seen at the annual Lions Club Yard Sale.

Nick Gleason, Post Chaplin, is cur-rently in China with his wife and will return via Manila and Corregidor in the Philippines. They will tour were Gen-

eral MacArthur’s forces surrendered to Imperial Japanese Army forces.

Don’t miss an upcoming event hon-oring veterans on October 16th at the Gatehouse Learning Center. Post 779 members will display memorabilia and talk about their military experiences. It will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Post 779 meets on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at Falkirk Estates in Central Valley.

The American Legion was char-tered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans orga-nization devoted to mutual helpful-ness. It is the nation’s largest veteran’s service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advo-cating patriotism and honor, promot-ing a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow ser-vice members and veterans.

n“I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity

is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

~Winston ChurchillN

September 22, 1945Patton questions necessity of Germany’s “denazification”, 71Years agoThe term “denazification” was first coined as a legal term in 1943 in the Pentagon, intended to be applied in a narrow sense with reference to the post-war German legal system. Soon afterward, it took on the more general meaning.1

On this day in 1945, Gen. George S. Patton tells reporters that he does not see the need for “this denazification thing” and compared the controversy over Nazism to a “Democratic and Republican election fight.” Once again, “Old Blood and Guts” had put his foot in his mouth.

Descended from a long line of military men, Patton graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1909 and served in the Tank Corps during World War I. As a result of this experience, Patton became a dedicated proponent of tank warfare. During World War II, as commander of the U.S. 7th Army, he captured Palermo, Sicily, in 1943 by just such means. Patton’s audacity made itself evident in 1944, when, as commander of the 3rd Army, he overran much of northern France in an unorthodox–and ruthless–strategy.

Along the way, Patton’s mouth proved as dangerous to his career as the Germans. When he berated and slapped a hospitalized soldier diagnosed with shell shock, but whom Patton accused of “malingering,” the press turned on him, and pressure was applied to cut him down to size. He might have found himself enjoying early retire-ment had not Generals Dwight Eisenhower and George Marshall intervened on his behalf. After several months of inactivity, he was put back to work.

And work he did–at the Battle of the Bulge, during which Patton once again succeeded in employing a complex and quick-witted strategy, turning the German thrust in Bastogne into an Allied counterthrust, driving the Germans east across the Rhine. In March 1945, Patton’s army swept through southern Germany into Czechoslovakia–which he was stopped by the Allies from capturing, out of respect for the Soviets’ postwar political plans for Eastern Europe.

Patton had many gifts, but diplomacy was not one of them. After the war, while stationed in Germany, he criticized the process of denazification, or the removal of former Nazi party members from positions of political, administrative, and gov-ernmental power. Nevertheless, his impolitic press statements questioning the pol-icy resulted in Eisenhower’s removing him as U.S. commander in Bavaria. He was transferred to the 15th Army Group, but in December 1945 he suffered a broken neck in a car accident and died less than two weeks later at the age of 60.

A Knock at the Door: How God Uses Adversity to Get Our AttentionBy Dr. Charles Stanley

In Revelation, Jesus addressed the complacent church at Laodicea, saying, “I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he

with Me” (3:20). Sometimes, His knocking is a light tapping in our spirit. But other times, when we are inatten-tive, He may use a pounding fist of adversity to turn our focus to Him.

That’s exactly what happened to Saul of Tarsus as he traveled to Damascus, where

he intended to bring great persecution upon the Christians in that city. Scripture tells us that Saul was “breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord” (Acts 9:1). It seemed that his cruel mis-sion nearly consumed him.

But God got Saul’s attention in a way he never ex-pected. The Lord sent him crashing to the ground with a blazing light and told him to wait in the city for instructions. Upon opening his eyes, Saul found himself blind and had to ask others to lead him by hand into the city.

The “persecutor of the church” (Phil 3:6) Saul - definitely received a wake-up call from the Lord that day. In one stunning moment, God gained Saul’s undivided attention, striking him with the adversity of blindness and humbling him in front of his traveling companions.

Saul felt more than ready to listen when the Lord asked, “Why are you persecuting Me?” (Acts 9:4). Up to that point, he had no idea he was dishonoring God. In fact, he thought he was serving the Lord by

ridding the world of Christians. A period of intense adversity resulted in a complete turnaround—with-in a matter of days, he was proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues (v. 20).

The Lord got Saul’s full attentionThe Lord got Saul’s full attention on the Damascus

Road. He used temporary blindness and humiliation to transform Saul, the zealous Pharisee, into Paul, the powerful apostle and missionary who would spread the gospel and plant churches across the Roman world.

God knew exactly what He was doing when He saved Paul. And He knows what He is doing in your life through the affliction you are facing. Never delay in responding to His call. When He allows difficulties in your life, seek Him, give Him your full attention, respond to His commands quickly and humbly, and listen for what He has to say to you.

As Paul later wrote, “For the sorrow that is accord-ing to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death” (2 Cor. 7:10). God allows adversity into our life to turn our attention to Him. And while it can be painful to endure, it leads us into a deeper relation-ship with Him and saves us from future destruction.

If you hear the Lord “pounding” through adversity in your life, respond quickly by opening the door to Him. Here are some steps to take:

Admit the sin. Repent of your wrongdoing to God. Remember that our society is quick to accept some sinful behaviors as normal, but the Bible presents a clear picture of what is iniquity and what isn’t. If you have any doubt about whether you have violated God’s instructions, consult Word and He will show you. When you confess to God that you have sinned, don’t try to justify what you did. Simply state your transgression. Then ask Him to forgive you.

Make amends. While we must be sure we don’t try to substitute works for genuine repentance, a heart that has truly been changed by Christ will want to live according to His will. Make it a habit to read Scrip-

ture and apply it to your life. You many need to seek godly counsel or professional help if certain sins have a stronghold in your life. Ask God for wisdom and the will to follow His commandments.

Accept forgiveness.  If you have repented of your sins, you can be assured that the Lord has forgiven you. That is a divine promise (1 John 1:9)—and God always keeps His Word.

We can avoid a lot of pain and suffering by keep-ing our focus on the Lord. This way, God does not have to resort to extremes. He doesn’t enjoy bringing us to the point of despair in order to get our attention, but He will do what is necessary to turn our hearts to Him. However, if we seek Him daily through prayer and Scripture, we will be more likely to hear His light tapping—and ready to open the door when He calls.

About Dr. Stanley - Dr. Charles F. Stanley, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and founder of In Touch Ministries. Modeling his ministry after the apostle Paul’s message to the Ephesians, Dr. Stanley believes that: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus–the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love” (Acts 20:24, TLB).

By Dawn Hoagland

The United States of America was founded on the principles of individ-ual liberty and national sovereignty. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press were guaranteed rights.

The media was to act as the fourth es-tate to keep the government honest and citizens well informed. Unfortunately at this point our main stream media has been reduced to spewing propa-ganda created and disseminated by the Council on Foreign Relations. College campuses censure “free speech.”

Agencies like the FDA and the CDC, meant to protect the people, have been infiltrated and neutered by the pharma-ceutical industry. Billionaires buy news outlets and make enough donations to journalism schools to control what real information will get suppressed and what fake news will get reported.

The technological advance of the “green screen” has made television “news” more like movie making. Narratives are created on demand right in the studio, duping audiences on a regular basis. Just Google: Green screens make fake news possible for documented examples.

Our Constitution has been shredded at this point, with our sovereignty be-ing usurped by the United Nations and our lives being subjected to constant surveillance. The fourth Amendment is dead. Public officials use their positions to satisfy corporations and billionaires with globalist agendas.

The elites who control our politi-cians do not care if our Constitution is no longer upheld. People like George Soros think that national sovereignty needs to be eliminated. He studied at the London School of Economics where he came across the ideas of Karl Popper about “open society.”

Soros mistakenly believes that if all sovereignty was eliminated and all bor-ders were open, nations would stop fighting and a universal repudiation of war would result in peace, productiv-ity and prosperity for all. Clearly his-tory demonstrates the elimination of sovereignty would more likely result in world dictatorship.

George Soros, billionaire philanthro-pist, head of the well-funded Open So-ciety Foundation (OSF), born in Buda-pest, Hungary, has ties to thirty major news organizations. He has donated forty-eight million dollars to gain control of NBC, ABC, the New York Times, The Washington Post, the Paci-fica Foundation, and more.

A trove of hacked emails from George Soros’ OSF have been pub-lished on alternative news sites on the internet. You will not find any of this information on NBC, ABC, or the New York Times because they do not report anything negative about their benefac-tor, George Soros.

An OSF Report, titled “International Migration Initiative” was recently leaked. It is a nine page report that makes it clear that the recent influx of so-called “Syrian refugees” is actually part of a plan put in place by Soros. The best way to under-mine national sovereignty is to overrun a nation with young men of military age who have no concept of liberty. Giving them welfare and voting rights is a Dem-ocratic ploy to stay in power.

The report states that Europe’s “refu-gee crisis” presents “new opportunities” for OSF to influence global immigra-tion policy. Mass immigration should be considered the “new normal.” The funneling of almost two million Muslim migrants into Europe has been coordi-

nated by Peter Sutherland at the United Nations, the Obama administration, and the head of the European Union, all guilty of crimes against sovereignty.

Peter Sutherland and George Soros sit together on the board of the Co-lumbia Global Policy Institute (CGPI) which designed the mass migration chaos that has engulfed Europe over the past year. CGPI’s elite-level behind the scenes advocacy through Peter Sutherland, has positioned itself to in-fluence policy and practical follow-up to global events.

Previously, Sutherland was chairman of Goldman Sachs International, the global bank known for predatory, cor-rupt practices. He was past chairman of British Petroleum, honorary president of the  Transatlantic Policy Network, promoting the US and EU Transatlan-tic Trade and Investment Partnership, principal architect of the World Trade Organization, and he played a lead role in destroying national sovereignty by re-placing national currencies with the euro.

Sutherland’s connections and So-ros’ money have had undue influence on the world. George Soros funds the training and organization of “color revolutions,” used to advance the in-terests of imperialism. These actions consist of funding and training people to carefully orchestrate acts of civil disobedience and mass street protests used to topple governments.

Soros influences EducationSoros’ money and influence was instru-mental in regime change in Czecho-slovakia, Yugoslavia, Croatia and the Ukraine. He donated $100 million to create “Human Rights Watch” which routinely lies to create propaganda to justify NATO interventions. Staged photos to pull on American heart strings are emblematic.

George Soros has used his Open So-ciety Foundation as a conduit to funnel $13 million to the Democratic Party, of which $7 million went directly to Hill-ary Clinton’s campaign. Manipulation through “education” is a Soros’ tactic. US sovereignty is blocking UN world governance. The Common Core in-doctrinates our children with UN pro-paganda. This generation will grow up thinking it is best to be a global citizen.

Soros invests in Laureate, which is a for-profit company that has 75 schools across 30 countries. Its’ revenue has more than tripled since 2007 to $4

billion. He also gave $250 million to his own Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, which he uses to indoctrinate young people with his ex-treme ideas promoting communism, sustainability and depopulation as pro-scribed by Agenda 2030.

Hillary Clinton is invested in Lau-reate. Was it a conflict of interest dur-ing Clinton’s last month as Secretary of State at the State Department - that the World Bank’s investment unit sent $150 million to Laureate? The Clinton Foundation accepted millions from foreign heads of state in exchange for access and preferential treatment. Trea-sonous or at the least - subversive.

The Soros Foundation uses its money internationally for regime change as well as fomenting divisions through race us-ing Black Lives Matter here in the US. BLM is not a grass roots movement. It is a highly orchestrated well-funded Soros operation. Locals are involved but they are unaware they are being used.

These foundations exist as tax exempt entities which supposedly do great philanthropic work, but actually use their ill-gotten gains to control every aspect of our lives. Soros has spent over $400,000 million world-wide funding colleges and left wing organizations to spew UN propaganda.

These institutions are willing to in-doctrinate students with his vision of one world governance ensuring the “equitable” division of resources to cre-ate a sustainable, technocratic global open society. In other words, he is funding a “Brave New World,” like the one proposed by Aldous Huxley.

“It is sort of a disease when you con-sider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel com-fortable about it now since I began to live it out, “(The Independent, June 3, 1993,”The Billionaire who built on Chaos- George Soros.”)

George Soros funds the UN, Agenda 2030, Laureate for-profit education, CEU, Black Lives Matter, and Hillary Clinton. A vote for Hillary is a vote for her puppet master, George Soros, who will continue to foment racism and funnel in more migrants. Our sover-eignty is at stake.

By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil. Proverbs 16:6 Please send comments to Dawn Hoagland at commoncoreisnotok@gmail.com

Assemblyman James Skoufis (D-Woodbury) announced a number of endorsements this week from the state’s largest pro-environment organizations. The Sierra Club as well as New York League of Conservation Voters both wholeheartedly shared their support for Skoufis’ re-election.

“The Hudson Valley is one of our country’s most pristine areas – and it is our obligation to keep it that way,” said Assemblyman Skoufis. “I will never stop fighting for clean air, safe drinking water, and the preservation of our open space.”

Skoufis worked closely with the Si-erra Club last year to advance an an-nexation oversight bill that would re-quire closer scrutiny of large-scale land transfers. He authored and wrote the legislation in response to the Village of Kiryas Joel’s attempt to annex over 500 acres of land from the Town of Monroe, a proposition that Skoufis has strongly opposed since day one.

“Assemblyman Skoufis has been a champion for the environment, both here locally and in Albany,” shared Gale Pisha, Secretary of the Sierra Club’s Lower Hud-son Valley chapter. “His commitment to sustainability and protecting our natural resources is second to none.”

Assemblyman Skoufis has also part-nered with New York League of Con-servation Voters on a number of bills he co-sponsored and helped pass in-cluding the Safe School Drinking Wa-ter Act, which would require all schools in the state to test their water for lead and remediate, if necessary. He also strongly supports the Child Safe Prod-ucts Act which would prohibit the use of toxic chemicals, such as mercury, in child products and toys.

The 99th Assembly District includes Blooming Grove, Cornwall, Chester, Goshen, Hamptonburgh, Highlands, New Windsor, Wawayanda and Woodbury in Orange County and the town of Stony Point in Rockland County.
