County Executive Delivers State of County AddressBy Robert Demetry

Orange County Executive Edward A. Diana deliveredhis “State of the County 2005” address before a packedcrowd of legislators, department heads, employees and cit-izens of Orange County on Thurs., Mar. 3.

His message was a conservative mix of messages, fromthe progress and plans to ensure the safety and health ofcounty residents, to the state of the economy, the environ-ment, and infrastructure concerns, as well as the welfare ofthe county residents.

Taking his oath of office only a few months after theterrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Center and thePentagon in Washington, D.C., Diana said that, that awfulday, Sept. 11, 2001, was a “wake up call” for all county exec-utives to strengthen their government’s security and emer-gency response capabilities.

“We need modern facilities and state-of-the art tech-nology to do our job well,” said Diana. “This is why we willpropose building a new county public safety emergencyresponse center.”

The facility would house the county’s E-911 Centerand Emergency Operations Facility as well as a proposedOrange County Police Academy.

Diana, who is up for re-election in 2006, said the

county has “outgrown” its current E-911 Center and itneeds to be expanded and improved to keep up with addi-tional cell demand.

“We also devised plans to deal with the threat of bio-logical and chemical terrorism…and have received fundsto purchase a state of the art mobile command and com-munications vehicle, personal radiation detectors, protec-tive suits for emergency workers, decontamination kits,modern communication devices and the ability to screenfor weapons of mass destruction,” said Diana.

Keep Communities StrongDiana said he is the first to admit that many cities are

“gems in need of polish” and said local downtowns wereonce thriving community centers and he believes many areon the “verge of a renaissance” because of guidance andsupport from the county.

He cited the revitalization of the former Woolworthbuilding in Newburgh, now transformed into a CountyDepartment of Motor Vehicles and Community HealthOffices.

“This move, along with investments in the Armory,has helped improve lower Broadway. In Middletown we arerenovating the Crawford Building to bring the DMV backto the heart of that city. Main Street in downtown Port

State Legislators Meet with Local People on BudgetBy Scott Webber

State Senator Thomas Morahan and AssemblywomanAnnie Rabbitt met with a group of 15 local officials andresidents at a two-hour meeting on the State Budget atTown Hall on Thurs., March 3. The two State legislators lis-tened to comments from a library director, two mayors,two school superintendents and a grilling by one residentwho asked questions about which he said no public officialwould ever give him an answer.

The sharp questions came from Jack Porter, 89, whowanted to know why his energy bills have gone from $300a month to over $600 a month after deregulation tookplace in the public utility field. He questioned the budgetcuts for libraries which are "so important for people."

Porter also wanted to know why three men, theGovernor, the Senate Majority Leader and the AssemblySpeaker, ran New York State government and asked whyHoward Mills was qualified for his new state job dealingwith insurance.

"Why not reward those in the ranks?" demandedPorter, who said he has been an Orange County residentsince 1947 and moved to Warwick eight years ago.

Turning to Porter’s "unaddressed issues," Morahanmaintained that Democracy is not perfect, that human

beings do the best they can. About the three-man govern-ment, Morahan described this as a "fixation" of the presswhich people have come to accept. He said that the budgetprocess involved committees of legislators and not justthree men.

About Mills, who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S.Senate last year, Morahan said he was promised a job toreplace the 97th State Assembly seat he gave up to run for theSenate. Rabbitt was elected last November to replace him.

"He has the smarts to ask the right questions,"Morahan continued, adding his political experience gavehim "the needed input and maturity to do the job."

Porter raised the library issue after Florida LibraryDirector Madelyn Folino, who was there also as Director ofthe 17-member Orange Library Association, described theproposed State budget cuts as going from "bad to worse."

Folino asked why the State cut aid to the RamapoCatskill Library System and then took the money and gaveit to individual libraries where they had Republicans in theState Legislature.

Morahan answered that "getting the money is diffi-cult" and added he didn’t know about the Republicans giv-ing out money.

Greenwood Lake School Superintendent JohnGuarracino called attention to the need to change the way

his poorer district received less state aid for special educa-tion because it was based upon the wealthy Tuxedo SchoolDistrict where Greenwood Lake students go for grades 7-12instruction.

Warwick School Superintendent Dr. Joseph Natalesaid it would be a mistake to have all bond issue votes onthe same day as school budget votes. "This is a bad idea, justterrible," declared Natale.

Warwick Village Mayor Michael Newhard said a trafficstudy is badly needed for his area while Florida MayorJames Pawliczek Sr. spoke of the big tax increase in the pastthree years, since he took office; including the $68,000 theVillage had to come up with, this year, to pay into the StatePension Fund, to replace money lost on the stock market($44 Billion). Property taxes amount to $12,000 a year andfor senior citizens with no affordable housing this is a bigproblem, he noted.

The meeting last week was Senator Morahan’s annualopen forum with local officials and people to discuss theState Budget and get local input on what funding he shouldseek on their behalf.

Planning Board Approves Three New Subdivisions By Nancy Owen

Despite objections from concerned individuals, TownPlanning Board members approved three of four prospectivesubdivisions at their Wed., Mar. 2 meeting. It is likely that thefourth application will be approved once the final StateEnvironmental Quality Review (SEQR) papers are received.

Phyllis Briller and others spoke about the impact thatadditional traffic will have on Route 17A in Bellvale withthe construction of an additional 14 homes (applicantPeter Oprandy) off Pumpkin Hill and Upper WisnerRoads. Another 40-home subdivision was recentlyapproved in the same area, next to the Peach Grove Inn,and the road (BCM Blvd.), which will exit onto 17A willcome out just before Pumpkin Hill Road.

“Obviously the Board is not anticipating the impactthat each of these developments will have on each other orthe residents of this small village area,” said Briller. “It willbe virtually impossible for a resident, of the new subdivi-sion, to turn left (going East) on 17A.” Town Planner TedFink answered that the traffic impact study showed no sig-nificant impact at these intersections, but then, they wereallowing only one car per home.

Briller also raised the issues of pesticide and fertilizerrun-off into the wetlands, the impact on the quality ofdrinking water, and how the setback from wetlands wasgoing to be monitored, only to be told by Chairman BenAstorino that they’ve heard and answered these questionsbefore and “we have to move on.”

The Foxwood Estate application was adjourned to Apr. 20because all SEQR questions were not resolved. Ms. Briller toldThe Dispatch that there are about 100 concerned residents ofthe Bellvale area, who have attended meetings on the BCM andFoxwood Estates subdivisions from the beginning.

The state ordered the Town to “fix” the quality of thewater in the Bellvale Water District, and at a Town Boardmeeting on Sept.9, 2004, it was implied by Board members,

that the two proposed developments are needed to makethe improvements financially reasonable. Many of the res-idents don’t agree.

An application, on behalf of Juanita VanDecker, for anaddition to a single-family residence (called The Castle atWarwick), located in Greenwood Lake, was approved despitethe fact, that the garage would extend into a Town ofWarwick “Designated Protection Area” (Greenwood Lake).

Dennis Lynch spoke about, not only the illegal struc-ture, but also the fact that the applicant was ordered to pro-vide screening from adjacent properties and “four pinetrees do a not screening make.” The vote was three to onein favor of the applicant. The expansion included terraces,a pool and pool house as well as the “offending” garage.

The application (applicant, Susan Wheeler and others)for preliminary approval was granted for a 36-lot subdivi-sion, on a 138 acre parcel in the Florida Union Free SchoolDistrict - that when clustered, would leave 72 percent ofthe property as open space in perpetuity.

Despite this attempt to preserve open space, residentson Regleski Road were concerned about the reclamation ofthe current cul-de-sac, traffic in the area and the impact ofthe 72 or more children on the School District. PlanningBoard Chairman Ben Astorino said, “This project and oth-ers have been in the works for some time.”

The Board had advised the Superintendent of all pro-posed development in the School District and suggested theyshould be looking for a site for additional schools. One resi-dent suggested that, like the Town Board, the Town PlanningBoard, should have a member who represented each Village inthe Town, someone with unique knowledge of their geograph-ic area, so that these impacts could be known first-hand.

A 10-lot subdivision, entitled Lands of Manno II,located on the northern side of Kings Highway at the inter-section of Belcher Road, which would leave 50 percent ofthe 30-acre parcel as open space in perpetuity, wasapproved without any response from the public.

By Eileen Patterson

Village of Warwick Code Enforcement Officer, DanKelly (formerly known as the Building Inspector), has seenhis share of tragedies that could have been avoided. In aneffort to educate residents on home safety, Dan has infor-mation to share regarding smoke alarms.

The US Fire Administration (USFA) reports that inthe 1960's, the average U. S. citizen had never heard of asmoke alarm. By 1995, an estimated 93 percent of allAmerican homes - single and multi-family, apartments,nursing homes, dormitories, etc. - were equipped withalarms. By the mid 1980's, smoke alarm laws, requiringthat alarms be placed in all new and existing residencesexisted in 38 states and thousands of municipalities nation-wide. Smoke alarm provisions have been adopted by allmodel building code organizations

A typical house inspection performed by Dan Kellyinvolves testing the smoke alarms. During a recent inspec-tion, he asked the homeowner to perform a test on thealarms installed in her home. "The smoke alarms werehardwired into the electrical system of the home," saidKelly. "This type of alarm has a battery built into eachunit."

The homeowner was happy to comply and fullyexpected the alarms to sound when she hit the test button.She did not expect the silence but was ultimately grateful tolearn what was wrong. Dan said, "The alarm did not trig-ger the alarms throughout the house; the backup batterywas dead."

Recent findings from the National Fire ProtectionAgency revealed that seventy percent of all home fire fatal-ities occur in homes where there are no smoke alarms or noworking alarms. The findings also revealed that nearly onequarter of the smoke alarms in reported fires do not work.

The USFA advises homeowners to install smokealarms on every level of the home, including the basement.Many fatal fires begin late at night or in the early morning.For extra safety, install smoke alarms both inside and out-

side the sleeping area. Smoke alarms should be installed onthe ceiling or six to eight inches below the ceiling on sidewalls.

Since smoke and many deadly gases rise, installingsmoke alarms at the proper level will provide the earliestwarning possible. The National Fire Protection Agencyurges consumers to test their smoke alarms once a monthaccording to the manufacturers’ instructions, and toreplace smoke alarms more than ten years old.

Dan Kelly offers the following advice to residents:"Homeowners must be aware that the smoke alarms hard-wired into the homes electrical system have a batteryinside, and this battery must be replaced according to themanufacturers’ instructions. If the installer failed to leavethe instructions in the home, the homeowner should findthe manufacturers name and model number on the unitand contact the company by phone or on the internet andobtain the instructions for maintaining and replacing thealarms."

In addition to smoke alarms, New York State Law nowrequires a carbon monoxide alarm in all newly constructeddwellings and dwellings offered for sale. At least one car-bon monoxide alarm shall be provided and installed in theimmediate vicinity of bedrooms, on the lowest floor levelof the dwelling unit containing bedrooms. The alarm mustbe installed in accordance with the manufacturers’ instruc-tions. While not required by law, owners of older homesshould install carbon monoxide alarms using the same cri-teria.

Each year in America, carbon monoxide (CO) poison-ing claims approximately 165 lives and sends another10,000 people to hospital emergency rooms for treatment.The USFA and the National Association of Home Buildersoffer simple steps to protect your family from deadly car-bon monoxide fumes.

Their advice is, "Install at least one UL (UnderwritersLaboratories) listed carbon monoxide alarm with an audi-ble warning signal near the sleeping areas and outside indi-vidual bedrooms. Carbon monoxide alarms measure lev-

structed three bridges.With new high resolution aerial imagery, the County’s

Water Authority has been searching for new untappedwater resources for both residents and businesses, plus, theCounty has enhanced its recycling program to keep itsenvironment safer and cleaner.

Neighborhood Initiatives“Orange County District Attorney Frank Phillips and

Sheriff Carl DuBois have done a superb job fighting crimeand keeping dangerous criminals behind bars. TheSheriff ’s Office has participated in crime and warrantsweep operations that have resulted in 200 arrests over thepast two years,” said Diana, who added that narcotic druginitiatives resulted in over 50 arrests.

“Operation Night Owl” and “Project Impact” were twonew City of Newburgh programs with a $100,000 infusion,of county dollars, to give kids constructive educational andrecreational opportunities to keep them busy and off thestreets.

Preserving Our CharacterSince 2002 the County has completed a new

Comprehensive Plan, Parks Plan, Agriculture andFarmland Preservation Plan and an Open Space Plan,according to Diana. His administration has a “special

focus” on preserving farms, open spaces, green valleys,pristine mountain peaks, scenic rivers, hiking trails andrecreational areas – those things that make Orange Countya special place.

“I am proud to say that we have made giant strides inpreserving the best of what we have, our farms, our parksand recreation areas, and doing what we must do to protectour quality of life,” said Diana.

2005 Economic OutlookAn Orange County native, Diana told a, standing

room only, crowd that Orange County is the fastest grow-ing County in New York State and one of the fastest grow-ing in the nation, because of its “attractive, pristine, diverse,vibrant, business-friendly attributes.

“We are at the crossroads of the northeast. We have agood highway system, terrific airports, passenger railroads,and a family friendly environment,” boasted Diana. “Ourchallenge is handling the number of people who visitOrange County and then decide they don’t want to leave.”

Nearly one, of every three, who live in the County, isunder the age of 18 and County statistics say its populationhas grown six percent in three years when there was a hugeinflux in the 1990’s of those between the ages of 30 and 45.

Diana said being cautious, conservative and spend-thrifty the County has done “more with less” and “held theline” on the portion of the County budget he has controlover. The government has become more efficient throughoutside contracts, consolidation of services and bringing inoutside revenues.

“We preserved our bond rating, one of the best of anyCounty in New York State - reduced our County’s bondedindebtedness by $6.4 million – created 9,000 private sectorjobs plus the median household income has risen 15 per-cent – our tourism industry is growing. We have attracted21 new corporate businesses and the economic outlook isbright,” added Diana.

Jervis is being revitalized and efforts continue to strength-en that city’s economy,” pointed out Diana.

The “address” said home values have “skyrocketed”and housing stock under $200,000 has become scarce, sothe County has continued to explore ways to encourage theconstruction of the middle class housing.

Diana said SUNY Orange (OCCC) has expanded inNewburgh to make higher education “more accessible” soemployers can pool from local talent.

The County’s Office for the Aging was lauded for itshome delivered meals program, which serves some 200,000meals a year to needy senior citizens. The Veterans ServiceAgency was also commended for its part in the facilitationof acquiring $24 million in pension and compensationfunds for county veterans.

County Infrastructure“A strong and vibrant economy that, produces jobs

and enhances our quality of life requires an infrastructurethat is well maintained,” said the County Executive whopointed out that in 2004, the Department of Public Workspaved and sealed 27 miles of county roads and recon-

Danny Lehman’s Big HeartWill Be Greatly Missed

Editor,I was deeply saddened to hear that Danny Lehman had passed

away on Fri., Feb. 18, 2005. He was a lifelong resident of the area,and the owner of Highway Printing in Florida. He was a memberof NAM Knights-Lost-C Orange County, and was a member andpast-president of the Florida Lions Club. He was a big man witha big heart, who would bend over backwards to help someone outand always took tremendous pride in his business.

When we first began working together on the Warwick Mapin 2002, he walked me through the entire process, from start tofinish. It was the first time I had ever seen something I made beingprofessionally printed. I will never forget the first time hebrought out the finished map hot off the presses: he gave me oneof the best moments of my life, and I thank him for it.

I have published all my maps with Dan and the good peopleat Highway Printing. They may be just tourist maps to everyoneelse, but for me there’s so much of my life and relationships inthem, and I cannot help but feel loss when I look at them now. Iwould like to express my best wishes to Pam, her daughter Crystal,and everyone at Highway Printing. We have all lost an amazingindividual who gave our community true excellence – DanLehman will be missed.

Orange County CitizensFoundation Public Hearing

Statement on Proposed CasinoDevelopment

Editor,The Orange County Citizens Foundation has monitored the

casino development initiative in Sullivan County for several years.We recognize that casino development could offer economicopportunities for Sullivan County.

We specifically are concerned with the traffic impact thesecasinos will have on Orange County and respectfully request thatour federal and state lawmakers recognize this potential negativeimpact the casinos will have, both on traffic and air quality, inmuch of the Mid-Hudson Valley, specifically along NYS Route 17.

As I’m sure you are aware, Route 17 is used in Orange Countyas both an inter-regional and intra-county roadway. We use 17,not only to get from New York to other states and counties, butfrom one muncipality to another within Orange County. Giventhe growth that has occurred in Orange County, there has been asignificant increase in congestion on this roadway as well as ourother roads. With the opening of the casinos we expect that con-gestion will signficantly exacerbate the efficiency and cost-effec-tiveness for our businesses, and the quality of life for our residents.

Most economic forecasts indicate that Orange County willcontinue to grow. Our governmental leaders struggle each day tomanage this growth and to plan for the future. It is vital to ourcontinued economic viability and quality of life that transpora-tion infrastructure in our region keep pace with our growth.

We ask that our legislators, at all levels, work with the NewYork State Department of Transportation to investigate initiativesthat will mitigate any negative impacts on Route 17 in OrangeCounty.

As the New York State DOT’s master plan advisory panel con-cluded late last year, New York’s transportation network is in trou-ble. Our state lawmakers must focus on our failing transportationinfrastructure now just to manage existing deterioration of ournetworks. Increasing traffic on a major highway, without identify-ing ways to mitigate the ensuing congestion would be even moredetrimental to our future economic vitality and well-being. This isbut one transportation issue that must be addressed.

The Orange County Citizens Foundtion is a private, non-profit organization that oversees cooperation and dialoguebetween Orange County residents, businesses, and governmententities to safeguard the County’s historic and cultural heritage, topreserve open space, agriculture, clean air, and a serene environ-ment, and to encourage improvement in jobs, transportation,parks and recreation, and government. Transportation, land useplanning, and environmental quality have been focuses of theFoundation for over 34 years.

Thanks Volunteers for Success ofFlorida Recreation Programs

Editor,As another successful season of Florida Recreation

Cheerleading and Basketball comes to an end, I would like to takethe opportunity to thank all the volunteers who make these pro-grams possible. On behalf of the 200 plus Florida kids who par-ticipate in these two winter programs, I would like to extend mygratitude to all of the Moms and Dads who give their time. Iwould also like to thank my seventh and eighth graders for theirhelp keeping score and refereeing the games.

Finally, I would like to thank the handful of High School stu-dent-athletes who lend their support, and in many respects, arethe driving force behind these programs. They are cheerleadersJessica Sicina, Ellen Dagele and Gina McAteer, and basketball play-ers Chris Dagele and Mickey Collins. They serve not only ascoaches and instructors, but also more importantly, as role mod-els and mentors for the next generation of S.S. Seward student-athletes. Their help with these programs is invaluable.

THOMAS CHEVRIERTrustee, Village of Florida

Here We Go AgainEditor,

Residents pay heed and remember. During Mayor Newhard’sfight for condemnation and denial of CVS moving into theVillage. He did nothing to refute the fact that members of his owncommittee wanted Hannaford’s to move in. They even said thatthey would drive up to Middletown to Hannaford’s rather than goto ShopRite here because of the lower prices. The Mayor let thatgo because it suited him. Nor the Mayor says that Hannaford’s are“high end.”

Now to put the icing on the cake they want to take the libraryout of the village center where it is accessible to the seniors andmove it further away.

If anyone believes that posed picture in the “Dispatch” youneed to wake up. If kids these days are going to do a projecttogether they are probably going to someone’s house, since every-

one has a computer. They can talk, have soda, candy, laugh and dis-cuss, without someone telling them to keep quiet. And guaranteedsome will willingly sit on the floor and be more comfortable. Thereis a library and computers in both the middle school and the highschool. Why would they need to go to a library?

Eight million dollars, 150 parking spaces. When has therebeen such a rush to the library.

Come on people you can’t be that gullible to think 1) thatHannaford’s is a high end market, and 2) that we really need tospend $8,000,000 on a library.

Please renew my faith in sanity. Vote for Hannaford’s andagainst spending $8,000,000.

Earlier this year, PatrickMulrooney’s fish market DeepSea Warwick closed its doorsafter a 15 year run. On Thurs.,March 10th, Mulrooney will bebringing the freshest fish fromNew York City back toWarwick, available at Penning’s FarmMarket.

Patrick Mulrooney can be officiallyconsidered the comeback kid of Warwicksmall businesses. Despite his difficultiesthis past year, his customers remain loyal;15 years of great seafood and service willdo that. His new location will be insidePenning’s Farm Market. Located at thecorner of Route 94 and the WarwickTurnpike, Penning’s is a seasonal haven forgardening, local produce, homemadebaked items, and ice cream stand.

Owner’s Steve and Jill Pennings haveknown Patrick and Jan Mulrooney for over10 years. "Pat is going to bring his ownquality to our market; we have a great

opportunity to worktogether and give Warwickan alternative to super-market shopping." Patcame to Pennings with theidea of opening a smallmarket with year round

service. "We want to let Warwick know thatwe are open all year. We’re moving beyondour seasonal image. We’re going to compli-ment each other nicely: a great piece of fishor steak and farm-fresh produce to com-plete the meal, as well as gourmet pastas,rice, marinades, bakery and dairy products."

The four moved quickly on the newarrangement, as leaving a vacuum too longwould invite competition. "We will be stay-ing open later," Steve said. "Pat’s going tohave a take out menu, so if you want chow-ders for lunch or fish and chips for dinner,you can get it." On Friday, March 11th, Pat,Jan, Steve and Jill will all be at Penning’sFarm Market for the opening of their newfish and meat department. For more infor-mation, call Penning’s at 986-1059.

business owned by residents Alicia and Gene Frosini. Theyhave been involved with herbs on a wholesale level, underthe name G. F. Greenhouses, supplying many businesses inthe tri-state area with herb plants and flowers in season foralmost 20 years. Since moving to their Sugarloaf farm 10years ago, the personal intention has been to grow herbsand enjoy them for their aesthetics.

Herbs have a variety of uses; dried herbs are used forcooking, for soap making, bath products, cleaning prod-ucts, herbal blends, syrups, medicines, brandies and wine.The Frosini’s grow and dry herbs and flowers in floralarrangements as well. Over the years, they have shared theknowledge of using herbs in classrooms, 4-H clubs, andyoung scouts. Having raised two teenage daughters, Geneand Alicia decided to bring all of their knowledge to theHamlet of Sugarloaf. “Of course one could never produceall these products alone to such a scale,” says Alicia. “Webegan the search for products from other small companieswith similar values to ours. Those values being: to supportsustainable agriculture, to never use products tested onanimals, or with anyartificial ingredients,and to ensure freshnessand purity in all theherbal products.”

At SugarloafMountain Herbs, youcan savor a cup of tea orchai. The Frosini’sencourage any inquiriesthat you may have, andthey will be more thanhappy to help. On siteis a nutrition specialist,Marybeth McMurray,who has worked in thewholesale business overthe years and whoseinterest in herbs has ledto course work in

Ethnobotany. They share the philosophy that herbs are oneof the components of a healthy lifestyle and that they trulyenhance wellness.

Sugarloaf Mountain Herbs guide their customers inthe use of herbs, but also stress the importance of properdiagnose from accredited medical practioners. As folks aregetting more and more disillusioned with the pharmaceu-tical industry and misguided drugs and their side effects,herbs are becoming a stronghold in the role of wellness.Herbs have been used through the ages very effectively:milk thistle to protect the liver, Hawthorn berries for bloodpressure, garlic for cholesterol, horsetail and nettles asnutritives, Echinacea for the immune system.

Sugarloaf Mountain Herbs encourages you to comevisit the quaint Hamlet of Sugarloaf and browse their selec-tion of organic green, black, and white beverage teas, ther-apeutic teas, a complete line of organic tinctures, essentialoils, organic herbal bath and body products, and of coursethe custom crafted dried floral arrangements.

The Logic of School Delays & ClosingsBy Lisa Rice

Early dismissals and delays are the winter nightmare ofmany parents with school age children. Not only workingparents stress over a gloomy forecast, but also homemakerswho have errands and other obligations during schoolhours. Traveling to Middletown, to make a much neededtrip to WalMart on a day snow is predicted, has many par-ents glued to their radio station and/or cell phone. Theschools are bombarded with phone inquiries about whentheir children will be dismissed.

However, the decision to release children early fromschool or delay an opening is a difficult one and not madelightly. According to Robert Zeller, Director ofTransportation for The Warwick Valley Central SchoolDistrict Bus Garage, the early dismissal is always the moredifficult decision. “Our window to get children home isthree hours from start to finish. If employees have gonehome, in between, it could be another hour contactingthem to come back and notifying parents of special needschildren. It is a 3-4 hour period we need to look at.”

Zeller utilizes many resources to make such determi-nations, including a Doppler Radar System within the dis-trict that gives updates every five minutes, a professionalweather station that gives “best guess” to the timing andseverity of storms, and frequent contact with Dr. JosephNatale, the District Superintendent. “Dr. Natale andmyself are in close communication, and he makes the finaldecision. We play scenarios back and forth and determinethe best situation. You can only make decisions based onthe information at hand. Weather changes minute tominute.”

A school delay is determined using different factors.

Where an early dismissal is based on a forecast of weather,a delay is determined based on what is already on theground. “I’m in direct contact with the HighwaySuperintendent and get his recommendation in the middleof the storm.” However, it is not only Town roads that needto be taken into consideration. “We cover the Town roads,plus State, County and Village. If the crews have workedthrough the night, they may take a break before continuingto clear the roadways.” Also, “hot spots” such as mountainroads and lower lying areas with lower temperatures needto be factored in to the equation.

“The bottom line is that we will always err on the sideof safety. We want to make sure that not only the childrenare safe, but also the staff, drivers, teachers, administrators,everyone.” With the first bus leaving the bus garage at 5:50a.m. some staff are on the road as early as 5:10 a.m. to getto work.

The Warwick Valley Central School District bus garageservices 41 different schools. Besides the Warwick Valleyhigh school, middle school, four elementary schools andSt. Stephen, buses go to Goshen, Minisink, Sullivan,Rockland and Westchester to bring children to parochialschools and meet the transportation requirements of spe-cial needs children within the Warwick Valley SchoolDistrict. The bus garage houses 83 buses that cover 174different routes with the School District. “It’s a three tiersystem,” said Zeller, “each bus does three routes.”

So, the next time the sky is heavy with snow and you’rewondering whether to rearrange your schedule to get homefor early arriving children, remember that the transporta-tion department is way ahead of you and we are determin-ing the best course of action for your child. It’s better tolose an hour or two than a life.
