Saturday, October 1 was a day to re-member in Woodbury as hundreds of residents turned out at Earl Reservoir to raise funds for victims of Hurri-cane Irene. It was sponsored by the Woodbury Community Association and supported by at least thirty-fi ve other organizations, businesses and individuals. Including donations that have been mailed to WCA, over $20,000 has been raised. Families

who are still displaced and those oth-ers in great need will receive help as these funds are distributed. You can fi nd more details about the event by reading the “Thank You” letter from Tom Bompensiero and James Skou-fi s on our Opinion page. One group of fundraisers showed real ingenu-ity by hand-making bracelets and other items and selling them in their neighborhood. They are the DePalma Drive Kids.

It’s often said that there isn’t enough time or space to fi t in all of the “thank you.” Nonetheless, we’re going to try.

Woodbury is a town of about 11,000 residents but, when our neighbors are in need, we, time after time, stand as one. The response to those who have suffered from the hurricane and tropical storm has been incredible and overwhelming – clothes, food, gift cards, money, and time have been donated by so, so many.

In addition to the Woodbury Com-munity Association who sponsored the recent fundraiser and all those in the organization to helped put together and cook at the event, the Woodbury Lions Club has been extraordinarily generous with their time and funding, and Colleen Pearce of Jay’s Deli, has as she always does, been there for our community ev-ery step of the way, providing countless meals to those who needed them.

With donations still coming in, we raised over $20,000 for our neigh-bors, a testament to the ceaseless car-ing spirit of our town – every single dollar will go to help those individuals and families in Woodbury who lost so much during the storms. Thank you to every single person who donated to the cause: you are what make our community so great. And, in addition to the aforementioned, thank you to each of the following for all you have done over the past month:

The Woodbury Community Association was organized in 1919 and has been helping the people of our town for over 90 years.

There isn’t Enough Space to Fit “Thank You” to All! You make our community so great – “you stood as one!”

I am writing this letter to encourage my fellow residents of Woodbury to elect Rob Weyant as Highway Super-intendent.

I have lived in Highland Mills my entire life and noticed a signifi cant difference in the Highway Depart-ment’s operations and management when Rob was chosen as Foreman and ran the department for the bet-ter part of 2010. Rob has worked for the Highway Department for almost sixteen years and he is the hardest working and most responsible per-son I know. He will bring strength of character and vast knowledge of what the job entails to proudly serve our community.

Moreover, Rob will be a valuable asset to Woodbury with his proven leadership skills and steel-willed determination to get the job done effectively, and to serve us all with the utmost professionalism. Not only is Rob an energetic go-getter, he is motivated, reliable, and a multi-tal-

ented individual who also possesses a personable and polite demeanor. Rob will promptly respond to all of his constituents and will dedicate his time and energy to ensure the High-way Department is run properly, while raising worker morale so the department is working harmoniously together. Therefore, those of us in Woodbury will reap the rewards pro-vided by an effi ciently organized and smoothly run department.

Rob’s heart and soul lies in serving Woodbury to the best of his abilities; that he is somewhat of a perfection-ist in all he does, will result only in positive and productive outcomes for the residents of Woodbury. Rob has the ambition, know-how, and quali-fi cations needed to make for an out-standing Highway Superintendent. He will be a breath of fresh air for us all. Please elect Rob Weyant, Wood-bury Highway Superintendent.Elizabeth Profi roHighland Mills, NY

I am writing this letter in support of Tim Arone for Town Council and to share the reasons why he should be elected.

I have known Tim for over four years, ever since our kids were in Pre-School together. Our children also currently play soccer in the same league. Tim is a good person and an excellent father to his two girls. His commitment, how-ever, does not stop there.

I was also fortunate enough to work with him on the PTA Board last year at Smith Clove Elementary School. I saw, fi rsthand, Tim’s dedication, in-

tegrity, professionalism, and genuine care for others, which carry over into everything he does.

Tim is in touch with this commu-nity. He willingly volunteers his time and he has always been accessible. He knows what is best for the Wood-bury Community and he genuinely cares. That is why I will vote for Tim Arone for Town Council on Novem-ber 8th and why I urge the other vot-ers to do the same.Sincerely,Donna Binder, Central Valley

Gained Conservative Backing to Run for Position

On September 13, 2011, there were approximately 3200 voters that were eligible to vote in the Town of Wood-bury primary for Highway Superin-tendent. Only 400 voters actually turned out.

Peter M. Stabile, current Highway Superintendent for the town, has gained the Conservative backing to run for this position. Thus, he will be on the ballot on the Conservative line for this November’s election.

Peter is very qualifi ed to do this job. He knows the town roads better than anyone around. So, as citizens we are given the opportunity each year to cast our vote and have our voices heard. It will only take a few minutes for you to

vote and when you do on November 8, 2011, vote for Peter M. Stabile for Highway Superintendent in the Town of Woodbury.

The only person qualifi ed for this position is Peter Stabile. His record speaks volumes about his ability to keep our roads in shape for the daily use they get.

Please join me on November 8, 2011 to vote for Peter on the Conser-vative line, a line by the way, that is growing in popularity in the United States of America on a daily basis. Vote for the man who is the qualifi ed candidate – Peter Stabile on the Con-servative line.Thank you.Maria L. PepeHighland Mills

Peter is Very Qualifi ed to do this Job

On Tuesday November 8, 2011, there will be a General Election for Highway Superintendent in the Town of Woodbury. There are two candi-dates running. We have to make a choice of one and the only choice as I see is Peter M. Stabile, a Republican, running as the Endorsed Conservative Candidate.

Peter is our current Highway Su-perintendent and in the last eight years has proven his capabilities in taking care of our roads time and time again. Peter has worked for the good of the town residents and made sure we have safe and well main-tained roads. Peter has made himself available to the residents 24/7. When I called Peter with questions about the town road near my home, he

asked me when I would be available and met with me at my convenience to discuss the issue. He is not a 7-3 worker. This means a lot to those of us who can’t afford to take time off from work. He’s straight forward with his answers and follows up with additional information if needed.

Peter has worked within his bud-get and returned money back to the Town’s General Fund to keep our tax-es in check. When he left for Afghani-stan, Peter waived six months of his salary which he was entitled to take.

In these uncertain times we need someone who we can count on so please join me in voting for Peter M. Stabile on the Conservative Party Line. Kevin & Kathy McKevittHighland Mills

Only Choice as I see is Peter M. Stabile

Town Board MeetingBy Desiree Potvin, Clerk for the Village of Woodbury

Woodbury - Summaries of Work Session & Regular Meeting, October 3, 2011Adoption of Initiative Law: The Board adopted the Initiative Law at their Octo-ber 3 work session. Councilman Frank Palermo noted that the reason the Board entertained action at the work session instead of the October 6 regular meeting was because he will not be present at the October 6 meeting and asked that it be on the agenda for the work session since a full board was present. Councilman Carlton Levine noted that from the beginning he has had questions, concerns and hesitancy about this law. He feels that the feedback from the public has been overwhelmingly against it.

Councilman James Skoufi s stated he has spoken to many people (County Leg-islators, Village Board members, other municipal Board members) and they have stated they are in favor of it. He hoped that Councilman Levine had spoken to other people in town that were unable to attend the public hearing to see what their opinion on the issue was. The Board then adopted the law with a vote of 3-2 (in favor – Councilmen Amidee Haviland, Palermo and Skoufi s, against – Supervisor John Burke and Councilman Levine). At the October 6 meeting, Councilman Skoufi s thanked Councilmen Haviland and Palermo for joining him in passing the law. He noted that he believes this law will lead the way for open and good government. He also thanked Town Clerk Desiree Potvin for writing the law and saving tax dollars by doing so.

During public comment, John Smith stated again that he believes there was a hid-den agenda and that the law is both useless and senseless. He fi rmly believes this law is political payback to the Independence Party in exchange for their endorsement. Upcoming Public Hearings: This week the Board scheduled three public hearings. The fi rst will be held on October 20 and addresses the assessment rolls. During this hearing, residents will be given the opportunity to address the amount of units they are charged on their taxes if they feel they are incorrect. A postcard will be mailed to each property that is charged by units for refuse, sewer and/or water. This hear-ing is not about the amount of taxes you pay but the amount of units you are charged. Most residents, in a single family home, are charged one unit for sewer, water and refuse. You should check your tax bill to determine the amount of units you are charged. If they are incorrect, come to the hearing to have it corrected.

The second hearing scheduled was for the Board to override the 2% tax cap for the fi scal year 2012 budget. This hearing will also be held on October 20. It was stressed that this hearing is being held as a precaution due to the timelines imposed by the laws. If the budget will be over 2%, this law needs to be in effect prior to the Board adopting the budget. This does not mean that the budget will be over 2% as the budget is not fi nalized yet.

The third public hearing scheduled was for the public to comment on the 2012 Preliminary Budget. This hearing will be held on November 3 and the budget will be available to the public on October 27. It will be available at the Offi ce of

Village Board MeetingBy Desiree Potvin, Clerk for the Village of Woodbury

Woodbury - Summaries on September 27, 2011Clothing Drop-Box at Highland Mills: After being requested at a past meeting to ob-tain more information regarding this request, Village Clerk Desiree Potvin stated she was informed by the President of the Highland Mills Fire Company that they would receive an annual donation of $100 for hosting the clothing bin. Regarding where it would be located in the parking lot, they would let the Board decide. Regarding what is done with the clothing that is collected, she was told the articles are distributed to needy families in Orange County. Mayor Michael Queenan stated he is not in favor of approving this because it is a municipal building and in the center of town, plus he feels that it would clutter a place of honor (noting the memorial monuments).

Judge David Levinson asked why there are so many clothing drop boxes in the community. He feels there are too many bins in the community now and does not believe the items being donated are going to legitimate charities. However, if the clothing collected is going to legitimate charity he feels it is a good idea, but is con-cerned about the liability as well. He also agrees that the fi rehouse is not a place to have a box since it is a site of honor. Mayor Queenan stated he feels the negatives far out way the positives. Trustee Timothy Egan agreed and suggested that all the clothing drop boxes in the Village be inspected to determine what the clothing donated is being used for. Trustee Neil Crouse stated he agrees this should be re-searched and he volunteered to do so. The Board then denied the request.DEC Consent Order: Mayor Queenan stated last year two consent orders were imposed upon the Village by the DEC for violations that have been in existence for the past several years, including prior to the Village’s formation. The consent

the Town Clerk during business hours or on the Town’s website at www.townof-woodbury.com.Update – Dial-A-Bus: Councilman Levine stated he feels the Dial-A-Bus service is very valuable and that the number of riders has steadily increased. He noted that the budget for this service is $5000 to administer the program and we then pay $4.47 per mile, which is an amount set either by the County or the State, he was ensure which. This is the same fi gure regardless of the number of riders, so the more that ride, the less expensive per rider. During a meeting held with Monroe Supervisor Sandy Leonard, the Dial-A-Bus Coordinator, Supervisor Burke and Levine, discus-sions were held about extending the service in Woodbury. Unfortunately Monroe currently does not have the capacity to provide more service other than on Tuesdays due to the condition of two buses. Once these are replaced, which will hopefully be by January, their capacity will increase and more days may be available.

The current contract with Monroe expires December 31 and the hope is to re-new for another year with additional days. He noted that once people are on the Dial-A-Bus they can then pick up the fi xed route service in Monroe, which does not cost additional money. Councilman Skoufi s asked if it would be more cost effective to start our own service and Councilman Levine stated the County has prohibited municipalities from starting their own service. Councilman Levine added that he was informed that the buses are not permitted to travel on pri-vate roads because of liability concerns and restrictions imposed by the County. Councilman Palermo asked if the mileage costs have increased due to closure of County Route 105, and Councilman Levine stated the buses are taking a longer route to get to and from Woodbury. Councilman Haviland suggested compensa-tion be negotiated because of the detour, and Councilman Palermo suggested that the three County Legislators that represent Woodbury be invited to a meeting to discuss the issue. It was also noted that the Dial-A-Bus is not just for seniors.Ridge Road Bridge Repairs: Supervisor Burke noted that Phase I of the project has been completed. Once approvals are received from the DEC, which should be any day now, Phase II will be bid out and begin.Morgan Court Retention Pond Update: Supervisor Burke stated a meeting was held on September 28 with the owner of the property, the prospective future owner of the property, the Town Engineer, Building Inspector and himself. Dur-ing the meeting the Town asked that the following be done: 1) a plan be submit-ted which would include the survey limits of the existing pond, 2) dredge the pond, 3) remove the growth and topsoil in the pond, 4) seed the embankment, 5) cut the damn to conform with the engineers recommendations, 6) provide as-built and 7) provide low cut channels for future rain events.

The prospective buyer agreed that the survey was very important and planned to start early this week. Unfortunately, it rained the beginning of this week and the work was delayed. He did receive a report today that the Building Inspector met with the prospective future owner and an excavator was on site conducting test holes to determine the depth of the silt. The goal remains to get the job done and done right. If there are major weather events then the December 1 deadline to completion of the work may need to be extended but under general circumstances he feels it can be done. The other variable is the DEC and whether a permit is needed to do the work in the retention pond. December 1 is the target date to have all the work completed.

orders are broken down by a schedule that dictates when certain responsibilities are to be met. The part of the schedule to be decided this evening is to determine to which environmental benefi t project the Village will give the $30,000.

The Village proposed doing a study of the Woodbury Creek but the DEC denied this project. The options before the Board is to either pay the DEC the $30,000, or contract with Hudsonia (a non-for-profi t environmental research institute) to perform a $30,000 Moodna Creek Watershed Habitat mapping project.

He has been informed by Attorney Richard Golden that the Village will not be responsible for any reports or documents associated with the mapping proj-ect, but only providing it with the money. Trustees Egan and Crouse noted that they believe that giving the money to Hudsonia would be the best option since the project would be a benefi t to the community and surrounding area. Mayor Queenan stated he agrees but wants it to be absolutely clear that the Village will not be responsible for the completion of deliverables, to which the consent order would impose additional fi nes, if they are not met. If the DEC agrees not hold the Village responsible for anything other the payment of the $30,000, then he agrees choosing the benefi t project. Water Bill Seem Higher than Usual? Mayor Queenan noted there have been many questions concerning the water bills since the new meters were installed. He stated that if a resident feels that his/her bill is incorrect they should contact the Water Department to ask for a review. However, he encourages all to pay their bills so that late fees will not be incurred. If it is determined that a reading was done incorrectly, a credit will be issued. Orange County Firemen’s Annual Parade: First Assistant Fire Chief Pat Prozzil-lo noted that on September 24 the Woodbury Fire Department participated in the annual Orange County Fire Parade and won the following awards: 1st place of the band that was hired by the Department, 2nd place for our antique apparatus, and 3rd place in Class A Division for marching. He thanked all the members that attended the parade representing the department.

October 13, 2011 WWW.WOODBURYGAZETTE.COM4Haviland Seeking Re-election

Four years ago, I had the honor of introducing my-self to the community of Woodbury as: a fellow resident of over twenty years; a US Army veter-an of twenty-eight years of combined Active and Reserve Duty; a member of the Monroe-Woodbury Soccer Club for over

eight years; an individual who has had over of thirty years of public service as an offi cer in the Army and as a Purchasing Manager for Metro-North Railroad; and as a candidate for Councilman for the Wood-bury Town Board.

At that time, I promised that I would help in pro-viding the services and infrastructure that the resi-dents of Woodbury expect for their money while, at the same time, not to be taxed out of the community. I also promised to keep our boundaries intact by us-ing the then popular phrase of “not one inch”. You believed in what I said and, as proof, you elected me to the Town Board along with my compatriots Carl-ton Levine, also as Councilman, and John Burke as Supervisor. For that, we are most grateful.

For the next four years, we kept our promises by: improving the town’s roads immeasurably and are continuing to improve them; increased Woodbury’s fi -nancial rating resulting in our ability to acquire cheap-er loans, when needed; decreased the town’s overall debt by 15-25%; increased government accountability through internal and external audits; fearlessly entered the courts to resist any and all intrusions to our com-munity; and submitting yearly budgets that have re-sulted in little to no tax levy increases to the residents of Woodbury while, at the same time, not decreasing services in terms of personnel and resources.

The time has now come to inform the people of Woodbury that I, Councilman Amidee Haviland, along with Councilman Carlton Levine and Super-visor John Burke seek re-election so that we may continue to represent you on the Town Board and to continue our efforts to make this community the jewel of Orange County.

Come November 8th, please vote for Councilman Amidee Haviland on either the Democratic or Inde-pendence ticket, Councilman Carlton Levine on ei-ther the Democratic, Independence, or Working Fam-ilies ticket, and Supervisor John Burke on either the Democratic, Independence, or Conservative ticket.

KEEP A GOOD THING GOING!Amidee T. (Bo) Haviland IIICouncilmanWoodbury, NY

Burke Seeks Re-electionDuring the past six years, it has been my honor to represent all citizens of our great and beautiful Town of Woodbury.

Due to outstanding leadership and teamwork, our town board continues to work in everyone’s best interest. Our goals have been consistent and

have been reached over the years.For example, the Woodbury Town Board has:• Held down taxes to minimal increases • Provided funds to dramatically improve infra-

structure (roads, drainage, buildings, park facili-ties, etc.

• Strong fi scal management• Fighting in court to protect our townThe town board continues to make themselves

available at open events and encourages open com-munication at all public board meetings.

At this time, I am asking for your support on Elec-tion Day, Tuesday, November8, 2011. I am also ask-ing for support for Amidee Haviland III and Carlton Levine so that this team can continue.

As your Town Supervisor, and along with Am-idee and Carlton, we will continue to keep your taxes down and continue to protect Woodbury at all costs. We have not held back on using our le-gal options to protect us from attempts by outsiders to impact on our quality of Life and infringing on Woodbury’s right to set our own destiny. We have not dropped lawsuits and will not drop any legal ac-tions in the future.

Voting on November 8, 2011 is very important. I will be on the Democratic, Independence or Con-servative ticket. Councilman Amidee Haviland will

Levine Seeks Re-Election

For the past four years I have had the honor and privilege of representing the residents of Wood-bury on our Town Board. I am writing to ask you to re-elect me for another term on the Town Board, along with my running mates John Burke (Town Supervisor) and Amidee

Haviland III (Town Board) to allow us to continue the work we have begun.

I am proud of many of our achievements especially having re-invested in our Town’s long neglected in-frastructure. This is highlighted by the re-construc-tion of the Central Valley Pond that now is assured

Why We Need Peter Stabile

We need a guy like Peter Stabile in offi ce because he works on behalf of all town residents seven days a week.

Is his opponent, Rob Weyant up to this responsi-bility? I think not!

Peter is an asset to our town in many ways. Let’s look at a few:

1. He brings years of building and construction engineering experience to Woodbury.

2. He cuts costs while giving us more for our dol-lar.

3. He gets grants and funding for the town. Peter can and he has done it all.

4. Accessible to all residents 24 hours / 7days-a-week, as ALWAYS

Peter Stabile led the successful effort to obtain $370,000 to fi x the creek on Park Avenue.

You need the know-how to work on these roads and Peter Stabile has that know-how.

Peter Stabile tells it like is. He cuts waste and spending. Peter went over to Afghanistan and

fought there in a war for all of us. He refused half his salary (while serving in that far-away land) to save the taxpayers a few dollars because he felt it was the right thing to do.

I think we need someone like Peter Stabile who has a lot more experience than Weyant. Peter has managed very well with the budget for the Highway Department. He stays well within his means and is able to keep our roads up-to-date without cost over-runs. That alone is plenty for me to support him in the election in November.

Vote for Peter M. Stabile! ON THE CONSER-VATIVE LINE

Cut the waste out of local government.

Vote for Peter M. Stabile and allow the town to reap the rewards of experience that he brings with effi ciency and high expecta-

tions for the roads in the town.

Thank you!Gina QuickHighland Mills

to remain a Town treasure for years to come. We have achieved this with minimal increases to Town taxes despite dwindling revenues from non-property tax sources due to the economic times.

Most importantly, as a Town Board we have been extremely pro-active in protecting our community’s way of life. As we all know, our wonderful com-munity faces encroachment from neighboring com-munities. When we were told that we had no legal options, we did not accept that answer. Under the leadership of John Burke, we located an attorney that specializes in these types of inter-municipal disputes and have launched four separate legal chal-lenges to protect our community and our property values. We have launched legal challenges against the water pipeline, against the County’s promise to expand the Harriman Treatment plant without lim-it (thus bringing more air quality problems to our Town), against expanding the sewer district to areas beyond its existing boundaries and against attempts to transport the limited water resources we have to outside developments. Where other political entities have backed away from this fi ght; we have not, and will not, shy-away from it.

I ask my neighbors and friends to re-elect our team for another term on November 8. We have accomplished a lot, and with that record, I promise that our team including John Burke (Democratic, Independence, Conservative lines), Amidee Havi-land (Democratic, Independence lines), and myself, Carlton Levine (Democratic, Independence, Work-ing Families lines), will continue to work tirelessly for the betterment of Woodbury.

Thank you for your continued support.Sincerely,Carlton LevineWoodbury Town Council Member

“Who Let the Dogs Out?”Rebecca Halzack Completes Gold Award Project

The Woodbury Dog Park at Earl Reservoir has been in des-perate need of renovation for quite a while. Well, give a task to the Girl Scouts and stand back! Local Girl Scout Rebecca Halzack picked this project as part of her work to obtain the Girl Scouts of America Gold Award. It is the highest rank that can be achieved, and is at the level of BSA’s rank of Eagle Scout.

The community is invited to attend the “GRAND OPEN-ING of the Woodbury Dog Park” on Sunday, October 23rd at 2:00 o’clock. No RSVP is necessary and there will be a free raffl e. The prize will be a gift card to Dog Day Afterg-room worth fi fty dollars – and, bring your dogs!

Rebecca says that her work “would not have been possible without the help of my neighbors, friends and family; the Town of Woodbury, especially John Burke and Bob Blair; Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Troop 484; Rainbow Play Systems, Laura Ann Farms, Dog Day Aftergroom, Beyond Signs and Graphics, Target, Central Valley Animal Hospital, and the Woodbury Dog Council.

Cold WarOctober 14, 1962 The Cuban Missile Crisis Begins, 49 Years agoThe Cuban Missile Crisis begins on October 14, 1962, bringing the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear confl ict. Photographs taken by a high-altitude U-2 spy plane offered incontrovertible evidence that Soviet-made medium-range missiles in Cuba—capable of carrying nuclear warheads—were now stationed 90 miles off the American coastline.

Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union over Cuba had been steadily increasing since the failed April 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, in which Cuban refugees, armed and trained by the United States, landed in Cuba and at-tempted to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro. Though the invasion did not succeed, Castro was convinced that the United States would try again, and set out to get more military assistance from the Soviet Union. During the next year, the number of Soviet advisors in Cuba rose to more than 20,000. Rumors began that Russia was also moving missiles and strategic bombers onto the is-land. Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev may have decided to so dramatically up the stakes in the Cold War for several reasons. He may have believed that the United States was indeed going to invade Cuba and provided the weapons as a deterrent. Facing criticism at home from more hard-line members of the Soviet communist hierarchy, he may have thought a tough stand might win him support. Khrushchev also had always resented that U.S. nuclear missiles were stationed near the Soviet Union (in Turkey, for example), and putting missiles in Cuba might have been his way of redressing the imbalance. Two days after the pictures were taken, after being developed and analyzed by intelligence offi cers, they were presented to President Kennedy. During the next two weeks, the United States and the Soviet Union would come as close to nuclear war as they ever had, and a fearful world awaited the outcome.

MusicOctober 14, 1957“Wake Up Little Susie” becomes the Everly Brothers’ first #1 hit, 54 Year ago

Harmony singing was a part of rock and roll right from the beginning, but the three- and four-part har-monies of doo-wop, derived from black gospel and blues traditions, would never have given us Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles or the Byrds. To get those groups, you fi rst had to have the Everly Brothers, whose ringing, close-harmony style introduced a whole new sound into the rock-and-roll vocabulary: the sound of Appalachia set to hard-driving acous-tic guitars and a subtle backbeat rhythm. One of the most important and infl uential groups in the history of rock and roll, the Everly Brothers burst onto the music scene in 1957 with their fi rst big hit, “Bye Bye Love,” which was quickly followed with their fi rst #1 song, “Wake Up Little Susie,” which topped the Billboard pop chart on this day in 1957.

Don and Phil Everly began performing together professionally in 1945 at the ages of eight and six, respectively, on their family’s live radio show out of Shenandoah, Iowa. The Everly family resettled to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1953, and two years later, 18-year-old Don and 16-year-old Phil began pursu-

ing work as songwriters in Nashville. As a song-writing duo, they had very little success, and in their fi rst try at mak-

ing a record of their own, they couldn’t even crack the lowest level of the Country & Western chart. A move to Cadence Records in 1957, however, changed the course of the Everly Brothers’ career, bringing them into partnership with a production team that included legendary session man Chet Atkins and the songwriting team of Felice and Boudreaux Bryant.

“Bye Bye Love” was the fi rst song by the Bryants to be recorded by the Everlys, establishing their trademark sound and peaking at #2 on the charts in the summer of 1957. The follow-up single, “Wake Up Little Susie,” reached the top spot on October 14, 1957, though not without stirring controversy in some parts due to lyrics that hinted at teenage sex. Literally banned in Boston at one point, the Ever-lys’ fi rst chart-topper was taken at face value in most parts of the country as an insanely catchy song about two teenagers who have innocently fallen asleep at a movie only to awaken at 4:00 AM in fear of having ruined their good reputations.

The Everly Brothers would earn 25 top-40 hits over the fi rst fi ve years of their hugely infl uential recording career, including two more #1s: “All I Have To Do Is Dream” (1958) and “Cathy’s Clown” (1960).


October 13, 1843B’nai B’rith founded, 168 Years ago

B’nai B’rith, the oldest Jewish service organization in the world, is founded in New York City by Henry Jones and 11 others. B’nai B’rith, meaning “Sons of the Covenant,” organized its fi rst lodge in November, and Isaac Dittenhoefer was elected the fi rst president. The fraternal organization went on to become a national leader in charity work and disaster relief, and in 1913 it formed the Anti-Defa-mation League to combat anti-Semi-tism. Today, some 500,000 men and women are members of B’nai B’rith.


American Revolution October 13, 1775Continental Congress authorizes first Naval Force, 236 Years agoOn this day in 1775, the Continental Congress authorizes construction and administration of the fi rst American naval force—the precursor to the United States Navy.

Since the outbreak of open hostilities with the British in April, little consideration had been given to protection by sea until Congress re-ceived news that a British naval fl eet was on its way. In November, the Continental Navy was formally organized, and on December 22, Esek Hopkins was appointed the fi rst commander in chief of the Con-tinental Navy. Congress also named four captains to the new service: Dudley Saltonstall, Abraham Whipple, Nicholas Biddle and John Bur-rows Hopkins. Their respective vessels, the 24-gun frigates Alfred and Columbus, the 14-gun brigs Andrew Doria and Cabot, as well as three schooners, the Hornet, the Wasp and the Fly, became the fi rst ships of the Navy’s fl eet. Five fi rst lieutenants, including future American hero John Paul Jones, fi ve second lieutenants and three third lieutenants also received their commissions.

Admiral Hopkins, as he was dubbed by George Washington, was fi rst tasked with assessing the feasibility of an attack on British naval forces in the Chesapeake Bay. After sailing south with his meager force of eight ships, Hopkins decided that victory in such an encounter was im-possible. He sailed to the Bahamas instead, where he attacked the Brit-ish port of Nassau, a decision for which he was relieved of his command upon returning to the continent.

During the American Revolution, the Continental Navy successfully preyed on British merchant shipping and won several victories over Brit-ish warships. This fi rst naval force was disbanded after the war. What is now known as the United States Navy was formally established with the creation of the federal Department of the Navy in April 1798.


October 13, 2011 WWW.WOODBURYGAZETTE.COM8Phil Nask Builds Bike for HaileyO.C. Choppers gives the job to a pro

Central Valley – As many know from local news out-lets, before Irene came on the scene, Extreme Home Makeover came to Craw-ford, NY. The program’s producers undertook to help Jimmy and Darlene Korpai, a young couple who are the parents of fi ve year old Hai-ley. When Hailey was born, she was diagnosed with a form of dwarfi sm. Un-daunted, Jimmy and Dar-lene, after they found that there was not much support for these children, started the New York branch of Little People of America.

Normal everyday activi-ties for most people become obstacles for Hailey, such as reaching light switches, opening doors, washing hands, or brushing her teeth.

That’s were Extreme Home Makeovers came in on August 18th to help Hailey have a home with features that most everyone take for granted.

Every youngster should have their own bike too, right? This is how Orange County Choppers became involved. There just aren’t any bicycles in Hailey’s size, and the program’s producers contacted OCC. After the company received the request, they called down to the shop and asked Phil Nask to come up to the offi ce, where learning of Hailey’s need, Phil was assigned “a job for the heart!” He said, “I was honored to do it!”

“We started with the smallest bike we could fi nd, a Huffy 12 incher from Wal-Mart.” Phil worked with Jim Quinn, who lives in Montgomery, and said “we made a lot of modifi cations. We cut the handlebars and made new lower ones; we lowered the frame, moved the seat down lower, and put blocks on the pedals.” The seat and handlebar pads were shipped to Kingston where Jay, the owner of Pirate Upholstery, put Hailey’s name on the handlebar pads and OCC’s logo on the seat. (You know that this bike is now valuable!)

Phil, whose expertise is bodywork and painting, took off the rims and matched the purple and pink colors – he then painted stars all over the bike using these comple-mentary colors from the rim. Not easy! When the bike job was completed, “Senior”, OCC’s owner, took the little chopper to Crawford to make the presentation. Phil confi ded that “I felt good to make a little girl happy and put a smile on her face.”

“I learned it all from my dad! He worked on cars a long time…he also worked on C-5’s at Stewart while serving in the Air National Guard for thirty-six years. Even now, he does a lot of small engine repairs.” Phil’s mother “Marty” is well known in Woodbury for the “handful” of classic cars that she usually shows dur-ing the Memorial Day Parades.

The Gate is a Gold Award ProjectClare Fitzgerald Renovates 99 Year Old EntryCentral Valley – If you drove by the Gatehouse on Smith Clove Road this weekend, did you notice all of the activity? Many Woodbury resi-dents are not familiar with the history of this historic building although they probably know it by name. Built in 1912, it has been standing for ninety-nine years.

Suffi ce it to say, the wrought-iron gate and adjacent decora-tive fence has been rusting away. This week the town owned property got a renewal on life. Last spring, Clare Fitzgerald, a member of Girl Scout Troop 199, was seeking a project for her Gold Award. As it happened, her brother John belongs to Scout Troop 149 which uses one of the Gatehouse build-ings for meetings. And seeing how this historic gate was deteriorating, and knowing that the Gatehouse Centennial celebration is scheduled for next year, John and his father mentioned it to Clare.

Dorothy Morris, Chairman of the Gatehouse Committee was happy to hear of the proposed work, so that left just one thing to do. Three weeks ago, Karen Queenan who is Troop 199 fi nally Leader got the permission from Girl Scout Headquarters to proceed with the plans as a Gold Award project.

The Woodbury Town Council also gave their blessing, af-ter not remembering the last time it was painted. Members of the Woodbury Community Organization also stepped up and accepted the job of removing old paint which they did on Saturday. Gervic Paints in Monroe contributed brushes, primer, and paint toward the job. And by late afternoon on Sunday, Clare, who had assembled a group of volunteer helpers, had completed painting the protective prime coat. Then it took all day to apply the fi nal black coat on Monday.

Those who assisted Clare are Danielle Montagna, Clare’s brother John, her father and mother John and Grace, Kelly Freeman, Brian Buttner and Larissa Vieira.

It was “F.F. Proctor, actor, showman, vaudeville king, and owner of numerous east coast theatres, who chose Central Valley in 1912 to build his “retreat” estate. Befi tting of this creative man, he built an impressive entrance to the estate he called Proctoria.”

The following information about Proctoria was “lifted” from the Woodbury Historical Society’s website at http://woodburyhistoricalsociety.com

Late 1940’s: The U.S. Military Academy acquired the Proctor estate (1,142 acres and all the buildings to be used for maneuvers and recreation).

1973: Agreement between the U.S. Military Academy & Woodbury transferred ownership of the Complex and ½ acre of land to the Town for use by the youth of Woodbury.

1990: Due to budget cuts, Woodbury initiated an inquiry about returning the Gatehouse to the Military Academy.

1992: Woodbury Historical Society formed the “Save the Gatehouse” campaign

1996: Agreement between the Historical Society and the Town is made. The Woodbury Historical Society Gatehouse Committee was responsible to raise funds (no tax dollars) to renovate and maintain the complex for use by the youth of Woodbury for recreational and historical purposes.

2003: Complex open!! 21st Century standards, with an “old world Proctor fl avor!”

By Charles F. Stanley

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:23-27

And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncer-tainly; so fi ght I, not as one that beats the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to oth-ers, I myself should be a castaway.

I. Introduction: As followers of Jesus Christ, it’s only right that you and I want to fulfi ll His purpose for our lives. But without discipline, the distractions of life interfere with our God-given destiny. Like ath-letes in training, we must exercise self-control and restraint—living with a specifi c goal in mind (1 Cor. 9:23-27). Simply wanting to fulfi ll God’s will for our lives is not enough. It is discipline, not just de-sire, which determines your destiny and mine.

II. Clarifying Terms

1. Self-discipline is personal training that develops self-control and character, resulting in an orderly and effi cient life. You and I must practice self-discipline in the power of the Holy Spirit.

2. Divine discipline is God’s correction when we step out of His will or disobey Him (Heb. 12:5).

III. Why is Self-Discipline Necessary?

Self-discipline is essential to godliness (1 Pet. 1:15; Tim. 4:7-8).

1. Unless we submit our natural desires to the control of the Spirit, they will dominate our lives. Food, rest, companionship, and sexual intimacy are good things, but they must be surrendered to the Lordship of Christ.

IV. What can we expect when we fail to practice self-control? And undisciplined life causes us to...

1. Indulge our fl eshly, carnal desires. Usually, we will fi nd ourselves stepping out of God’s will if we fail to practice self-discipline.

2. Become defensive about our sinful lifestyles.

3. Hinder our health.

4. Harm our fi nances and get into debt. Credit card companies thrive on undisciplined people.

5. Perform poorly on the job. In extreme forms, a lack of discipline can result in job loss.

6. Be overlooked for promotion. In contrast, discipline often prepares you for the next op-portunity.

7. Develop slothful habits.

8. Speak recklessly.

9. Arrive late.

10. Waste time and energy. Live by a schedule, setting your priorities for each day and fol-lowing through with them.

11. Have a poor testimony. An undisciplined life compromises a believer’s witness (1 Cor. 9:27).

V. What is required for a disciplined life?

1. Have a defi nite purpose. Goals clarify what disciplines are needed for achievement.

2. Detach from things that draw you away from your goals.

3. Pursue your objectives with diligence. Re-fl ecting on the worthiness of your goals will help keep you on course.

4. Be consistent. The full benefi ts of a self-con-trolled life can be found only through regular practice.

5. Practice self-control. Even if you fail some-times, continue to work on self-discipline.

6. Say “no” in the strength of the Holy Spirit. Remember, the indwelling presence of the Spirit is available to empower you.

VI. Rewards of Discipline

1. A more orderly and less stressful life. Self-discipline can increase your peace, joy, and confi dence.

2. Improved self-esteem. Setting and achieving goals will give you a sense of accomplishment.

3. Increased productivity. A well-planned day is generally more fruitful.

4. Better health. By eating right, exercising, avoiding drug and alcohol abuse, and getting proper rest, many illnesses can be avoided.

5. Positive impact on others. When we live dis-ciplined lives, we often inspire others to do the same. To this day, the foundation my mother laid in my life helps motivate me to work with excellence at whatever I do. In turn, I taught my son and daughter to be disciplined, which has helped them succeed as adults.

6. Eternal reward. The most signifi cant benefi t of discipline will come from Jesus the day we stand before Him.

VII. How to Begin a Life of Discipline

1. Spend time each day reading God’s Word.

2. Make time for prayer. Wake up earlier or limit other activities in order to give God priority in your life.

3. Tithe your income. By being disciplined and obedient with fi nances, we give the Lord the opportunity to build our faith.

4. Attend worship every Sunday. Meeting with fellow believers to fellowship and study His Word deepens our relationships with Him.

VIII. Conclusion; The Lord designed you for a spe-cial purpose, one that will satisfy you like no other. Don’t allow your natural desires to hinder your abil-ity to reach His purpose for you. The sacrifi ces of a well-disciplined life are nothing in comparison to the rewards of fulfi lling your God-given destiny. It’s a prize well worth the training.

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).

This is a true story. I had never heard it before. Hope you appreci-ate it and want to pass it along. See verifi cation at the end. It happened every Friday evening, almost with-out fail, when the sun resembled a giant orange and was starting to dip into the blue ocean.

Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier. Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket of shrimp. Ed walks out to the end of the pier, where it seems he almost has the world to himself. The glow of the sun is a golden bronze now. Everybody’s gone, except for a few joggers on the beach. Standing out on the end of the pier, Ed is alone with his thoughts...and his bucket of shrimp.

Before long, however, he is no longer alone. Up in the sky a thou-sand white dots come screeching and squawking, winging their way toward that lanky frame standing there on the end of the pier. Be-fore long, dozens of seagulls have enveloped him, their wings fl utter-ing and fl apping wildly. Ed stands there tossing shrimp to the hungry birds. As he does, if you listen

closely, you can hear him say with a smile, “Thank you. Thank you.”

In a few short minutes the bucket is empty. But Ed doesn’t leave. He stands there lost in thought, as though transported to another time and place. When he fi nally turns around and begins to walk back to-ward the beach, a few of the birds hop along the pier with him until he gets to the stairs, and then they, too, fl y away. And old Ed quietly makes his way down to the end of the beach and on home.

If you were sitting there on the pier with your fi shing line in the water, Ed might seem like ‘a funny old duck,’ as my dad used to say. Or, ‘a guy who’s a sandwich shy of a picnic,’ as my kids might say. To onlookers, he’s just another old codger, lost in his own weird world, feeding the seagulls with a bucket full of shrimp. To the onlooker, rituals can look either very strange or very empty. They can seem al-together unimportant.... maybe even a lot of nonsense. Old folks often do strange things, at least in the eyes of Boomers and Bust-ers. Most of them would probably

write Old Eddie off, down there in Florida. That’s too bad. They’d do well to know him better.

His full name: Eddie Ricken-backer. He was a famous hero back in World War II. On one of his fl y-ing missions across the Pacifi c, he and his seven-member crew went down. Miraculously, all of the men survived, crawled out of their plane, and climbed into a life raft. Captain Rickenbacker and his crew fl oated for days on the rough waters of the Pacifi c. They fought the sun. They fought sharks... Most of all, they fought hunger. By the eighth day their rations ran out. No food. No water. They were hun-dreds of miles from land and no one knew where they were.

They needed a miracle. That afternoon they had a simple de-votional service and prayed for a miracle. They tried to nap. Eddie leaned back and pulled his military cap over his nose. Time dragged. All he could hear was the slap of the waves against the raft. Sud-denly, Eddie felt something land on the top of his cap. It was a seagull! Old Eddie would later describe

how he sat perfectly still, planning his next move. With a fl ash of his hand and a squawk from the gull, he managed to grab it and wring its neck. He tore the feathers off, and he and his starving crew made a meal - a very slight meal for eight men - of it. Then they used the intestines for bait. With it, they caught fi sh, which gave them food and more bait......and the cycle continued. With that simple sur-vival technique, they were able to endure the rigors of the sea until they were found and rescued (after 24 days at sea...).

Eddie Rickenbacker lived many years beyond that ordeal, but he never forgot the sacrifi ce of that fi rst life-saving seagull... And he never stopped saying, ‘Thank you.’ That’s why almost every Friday night he would walk to the end of the pier with a bucket full of shrimp and a heart full of gratitude.

Anyone who has a Dog, Cat can Testify How much Happiness and Comfort They BringKitty left this world last week – “We are blessed to have had him…”

By Dr. Steve Piriano

Our cat’s name is Kitty. Kitty initially belonged to my wife. I inherited him through marriage. He has been a part of our family for a long time. Kitty is quite friendly. He loves sitting on people’s laps. As a matter of fact, if Kitty is in the room with you it would be almost impos-sible for you to sit down without soon having an adorable feline purring on your lap. Kitty craves affection. We have two sons and we never had a concern about Kitty scratching them, even when they were infants and tod-

dlers. I remember one time when my wife and I heard several loud “MEOW” cries coming from the other room. We came upon quite an amusing scene as we ran over to fi nd our older son Joshua holding Kitty by the tail and dragging him across the fl oor. Kitty never acted aggressively towards Joshua. He just cried for help. I can also recall times when our younger son Joseph would lie on the sofa, and Kitty would cuddle up next to him.

Just as much as Kitty seeks out affection, he offers it just as freely. There are some days that I’ll never forget. About four years ago I was going through a time of illness. When this all started for me there was a great deal of fear and uncertainty as to my future and the amount of time that I had left with my family. Kitty knew this. He was always by my side, even more than usual. Wherever I went, he followed. It was comforting to know that he was there for me. Kitty is a wonderful member of our family.

He was eighteen years old. We are blessed to have had him with us for so long. I think that we can learn many things from our pets. Of course they all have

their individual personalities. They have their likes and dislikes. But all of the pets that I can ever recall meeting always wanted some degree of affection. As a human being, I know that it is a wonderful feeling to give and receive love. But do we need it to survive? We can survive a few minutes without oxygen, a few days without water and a few weeks (or perhaps months?) without food. But how long can we survive without love? I don’t know that anyone knows the answer to this question. However, I do know that sharing love and affection with over living beings will make life more joyous and fulfi lling. I also know that love can help keep you healthy. And I think that on some level our pets know this as well.

I had written on this subject in a prior column. I have also done a bit of reading about it. In Dr. Deepak Chopra’s book “Quantum Healing,” he cites an experi-ment done in the 1970s to study heart disease. He explains that the experiment was conducted by feeding toxic, high cholesterol diets to rabbits to block their arteries and create heart disease, much the same way that it is created in humans. Apparently all of the rabbit groups began to display many symptoms of their disease. All but one. There was one group of rabbits that exhibited many fewer symptoms. Since everything else was similar, it was unclear why this should be. However, it was discovered that the person who was in charge of feeding this particular group of rabbits enjoyed holding and cuddling them as well. Some-how this daily cuddling helped the rabbits overcome the effects of their noxious diets. Subsequent experiments were done which confi rmed this fact.

Apparently human affection helped these animals overcome illness. It also seems that animal affection can help to heal people. A few months ago my mother was undergoing chemotherapy. She sat in a “chemo room” with several other patients all receiving their intravenous infusions of anti-cancer medica-tions. She told me that they would sometimes bring a dog into the room that everybody would have a chance to hold and pet. She found it very comforting and peaceful.

I’m sure that anyone who has a dog, cat or the like can testify as to how much happiness and comfort they bring into our lives. They need us just as much as we need them. We are all a part of the same big family.

Reduce sewer and drain losses in the basementBy Ryan Crosby State Farm® agent

Each year, sewer and drain backups cause millions of dollars in dam-age to homeowners. Prevention is the best solution to avoid the out-of-pocket expenses and the inconvenience of a major clean up. Here are a few ways to avoid sewer and drainage back up: Make sure your drainage system is working properly

Gutter downspouts should extend at least 10 feet away from the foundation of the house so water is carried away from the basement walls.

Clear the gutters at least twice a year to prevent them from overfl owing.

Your yard should be graded to slope away from the house so surface water is drained away.

If your gutters connect to storm sewers, keep the drain lines clear.

Anti-backfl ow devices reduce the chance of basement fl ooding. Sev-eral types of devices with manual and automatic operations are avail-able:

Check-valve devices allow water and sewage to fl ow away from the drain, preventing water and sewage from backing up into the drain.

Gate-valve devices operate like a gate, closing and shutting off the water fl ow.

Sump pump systems assist in keeping out unwanted water. There are several types of pumps, including single pump and dual-level sys-tems. A battery generator can be used to power the pump in case of a power failure. Remember to test your system monthly. It’s important to make sure your sump pump outlet is not connected to your home’s main plumbing system. Sometimes water still gets in. Items stored in basement areas should be on shelves or kept off the fl oor. The furniture should be on cast-ers or shims and arranged away from the fl oor drains. Consult with a building code offi cial or professional plumber for more steps you can take to reduce the chance of water damage to your home.

Speak with an insurance professional about appropriate coverage in your homeowner’s policy.

October 13, 2011 WWW.WOODBURYGAZETTE.COM14 Teen Spotlight

A few months ago I wrote an article about the process of selecting a college room-mate, and the benefi ts of pre-choosing a roommate as opposed to randomly be-ing paired up. I promised to follow up on the matter in a future article, and after two

months of dorm life I can honestly say that pick-ing my roommate was a great decision.

My roommate and I met on a website entitled Roomsurf, which paired us up based on a com-patibility survey. After speaking for a while via Facebook, we met each other a few times and de-cided to room together. My roommate and I get along well, and because we share the same major, have similar schedules and are in many classes to-

gether. Although our match may seem like a fl uke, friends of mine who picked their roommates have similar success stories.

Unfortunately, I have met many people who have had signifi cant roommate issues. In all cas-es, these were students who allowed the school to pair them up randomly through a roommate sur-vey, many fi nding that their roommate was dis-honest in their survey responses.

One major contributing factor to many room-mate disagreements is that most students have never had to share a room before. Because they lack any experience of living with someone else, many struggle to reach a compromise as they re-fuse to change their living habits. For example, a kid down the hall from me was actually forced to move out because his roommate was unwilling to negotiate a fair set of rules for the room, and they would often fi ght. The roommate would scream whenever the windows were opened- it gets hot in dorms without air conditioning- or company came over, even when he was not in the room.

Another major issue is that people are often put in rooms with people who share very dif-

ferent cultural beliefs. Oftentimes international students are paired with students who maintain very different experiences and cultural norms. Although this is oftentimes a benefi cial experi-ence for both parties, it also leads to confl icts because of having drastically different beliefs and customs. A more comical example of this is a friend of mine who is living with a student who is from a country where fi sh are believed to bring luck. One day the roommate came back with fi ve fi sh and put them in a shallow cereal bowl since she did not have a tank. My friend ended up be-ing late to class that day because she was busy trying to collect the fl opping fi sh off the dorm room fl oor after they jumped out of the bowl. Although this may seem like an uncommon situ-ation, I have heard of many confl icts that have arisen because of such signifi cant cultural differ-ence. As for the fi sh, sadly they did not survive past their second day in the room.

People also have very different habits, person-alities and goals. I know many quiet and reserved students who get taken advantage of by their con-trolling and bossy roommates. Many often get woken up by the return of the late night partier, or the roommate who works late into the night with the lights on, music playing, and a noisy printer. Again, playing into these issues, is a lack of un-derstanding of how to live with someone, and just common courtesy. No roommate is going to be perfect, but having one who is willing to work out issues, compromise, and share commonali-ties makes the adjustment to school much easier. When my biggest complaint about a roommate is that they vacuum too often, it makes dorm life less stressful. Therefore, I would highly recommend utilizing the growing opportunities to meet and choose roommates before leaving for college.
