by Michael Turton There was at least one light moment at the June 4, 2009, meeting of the Philipstown Town Board. It happened dur-ing the last item on the agenda,the period set aside for comments from the public. Before beginning his comments to the board, Garrison resident JoeRegele commented to Town Supervisor Bill Mazzuca that he was glad Mazzuca was feel-ing better. Mazzuca has missed some meetings in recent monthsdue to a health matter. Know-ing what was coming, Mazzuca responded, “I think I’m about to get worse.” The audiencechuckled.And Mazzuca was right.Things got worse. Regele has, by his count, come before theTown Board on a regular basisfor the past 30 months, ques-tioning the financial manage- ment of Garrison Volunteer Fire Company (GVFC). Hiscriticisms have centered on three issues: the timing and manner in which GVFC reportsits finances to the Town; thesize of GVFC’s cash reserves, which he has described as ex-cessive and, the role and legalauthority of the Town Board in overseeing the GVFC. TheTown’s funding of the fire company in 2009 exceeds $700,000.Based at least in part on questions raised by Regele and a handful of other Garrison residents, the Town Board has been meeting with GVFCofficials over the past several months in attempt to improvecommunications. GVFC pres-ident Jamie Copeland has begun making monthly reportsto the board, listing all calls made by the fire company. His by Michael MellThe library was filled with parents and children for theJune 3, 2009, Garrison SchoolBoard meeting. The students were present to sing the Na-tional Anthem and receiveawards from the New York State School Music Associa-tion as well as All CountyMusic recognitions. During a short break after the presenta-tions, all of the parents left with their kids.Had they stayed they would have witnessed the migration of about fifteen teachers, allin red “Still No Contract/Still No Respect” t-shirts, from the rear of the seating area tothe front rows. There they sat quietly as the board worked through the agenda of reports,consent/discussion items, and an update on teacher contract negotiations. Superintendent Gloria Colucci described thefive-hour May 18 meeting in positive terms, informing the board that there was a “giveand take,” and although they“did not come to a conclu-sion,” both sides had “shared

Arrest in Marcinak Murder

by Eric GrossState Senator Vincent Lei- bell is back in a leadership rolein Albany after Republicansand two dissident Democratstook control of the New York State Senate Monday by vot-ing to throw the fledgingDemocratic majority out of power.The decision by the twoDemocrats from the Bronx and Queens to join the coalition gave the GOP a 32-30 edgethat resulted in a change of leadership structure.Speaking from Albany lateMonday night, Leibell told the

PCn&r

that the past five months since Democrats held the Senate had been a “totaland complete failure. Theygave us a budget conceived bythree New York City Demo-crats huddled in a private room that was a disaster. Even the rank-and-file from theDemocratic Party had no idea what was in that budget untilthey voted on it.”Leibell said the Democrat- proposed and -approved MTA bailout was a “nightmare for all New Yorkers. Requests by my Republican colleaguesfor property tax reform wereignored. Rebate checks wereeliminated. The Democraticleadership has been a totaland complete failure.”Shortly after Monday’scoup, the GOP named Demo-cratic Senator Pedro Espada temporary president of theSenate and Republican Dean Skelos vice president and majority leader—the most pow-erful positions in the upper house. Senator Leibell said the bipartisan coalition hasthe power to “direct legisla-tion and reassign committeeand leadership posts.”Leibell, the Putnam-Dutchess-Westchester law- maker, who is currently in his14th term in the State Leg-islature, said his colleagueson the other side of the aisle were “so upset during thesession they turned off the by Joe Lindsley Jr.On the afternoon of Sunday,June 7, crowds gathered alongPhilipstown’s Hudson shores,and waited. They waited for minutes, and then hours, tosee the much anticipated River Day flotilla of ships, marking the anniversary of Henry Hudson’s historic voy-age. At last, around the Bear Mountain bend came sail-ing the long-awaited fleet of dignified, old fashioned tallships. And with them camethe horde, and a dose of NewYork City traffic: a motleycrew of canoes, kayaks, speed boats, police boats, tugs,seagulls, and haelicopters, with lights flashing, horns honking, and water hosesspraying.The commemoration of Henry Hudson’s 1609 voy-

by Eric GrossWho says governmental of-ficials don’t listen to their constituents?Following public hearingsearlier this year, in which resi-dents of Peekskill Hollow Road expressed passion about their community and demanded that scheduled remediation of the narrow and winding arteryconnecting Putnam Valley toKent be limited, the Putnam Legislature last week voted unanimously to scale back the$7 million renovation to cover only the portion from AdamsCorners to Oregon Corners in Putnam Valley.Legislator Sam Oliverio, who represents constituentsin Putnam Valley, described concerns expressed as being“real. With the approval of this resolution, only safetyissues will be addressed—not the widening or straightening but drainage, bridge repair, and turning lanes, and that’s all.”In May, during a public hear-ing attended by more than 125 residents of Putnam Valleyand western Kent, engineers promised that speed limits would not be increased, whilestone walls would remain,since no blasting was beingconsidered.Victor Tiship called the ruralcharacter of Peekskill HollowRoad “important and essentialto Putnam Valley’s identity.”He said Peekskill Hollow Road was “safe as long as vehicle and traffic laws were not violated.”Putnam Valley Supervisor Robert Tendy favors the proj-ect. He charged that people had been led to believe that a “mass urbanization project was being planned. This is not true. Peekskill Hollow Road by Michael MellThe Cold Spring VillageBoard workshop on June 2,2009, began with a public hearing on a proposed lo-cal law to amend the VillageCode regarding the dockingof boats. At present no boat of any kind is permitted todock at Waterfront Park. The proposed amendment would give the board the power togrant exemptions from thislaw for temporary docking.Spurred by the Quadricenten- nial and the upcoming Com- munity Day, the amendment would allow boats such as the

Clearwater

and

Woody Guth-rie

to dock at Cold Spring. A permit will be required and fee paid to the village. “TheBoard views this as a first step,” said Mayor Gallagher,“toward opening up Dock-side.” He continued sayingthat, “right now we are look-ing to have boats that will be of interest to the public.”Trustee Falloon added, “thisis a trial only,” that if suc-cessful could open the wayfor further development.Although the proposed amendment is very narrowlydefined, many in attendanceviewed it as a precedent that could cause problems in thefuture. “We should take care of potential issues,” said Karen Dunn, a former Village Trustee who lives near the boat Club,“before they become actual problems.” There was muchconcern expressed about how permits will be issued, what future boat access will be,and what possible adverseeffects might be to the im- mediate neighborhood. Ex-amples of late-night noisefrom vessels docked at the park or anchored nearby weredescribed by many. Ms. Dunn cited chapter and verse from the Village Code stating that after 10pm noise must not beaudible farther than 25 feet away. The board agreed toadd a stipulation to both theamendment and the permit itself that vessels are required to adhere to all village codes.Again, the mayor confirmed that the issuance of permits would be at the exclusivediscretion of the board.Increased foot traffic caused by vessels at the park willcreate a need for sanitaryfacilities. While there will betemporary facilities in the park for Community Day, manystrongly urged the installation of permanent sanitary facili-ties. Even now there are longlines to the bathrooms at thevisitors’ booth at the foot of Main Street and there are no public restrooms at all on theother side of the tracks. Many residents west of the trackscomplained of persons reliev-ing themselves in their back yards. Roger Chirico said they have a similar problem at the marina. The board acknowl-edged these comments but did not discuss any specific measures for the future.The next object of concern

Lake Peekskill youth charged with second degree murder; planned on robbing Garrison Garage

by Eric GrossSheriff Donald Smith an- nounced the arrest Tuesdayof a Lake Peekskill man in connection with the senseless killing of John Marcinak, the popular owner of the garageand towing business on Dec.31, 2008.Anthony Grigoroff, 18, of 52 Morrissey Drive in the LakePeekskill section of Putnam Valley faces a murder chargecarrying a prison term of 25 years to life. He also wascharged with criminal pos-session of a weapon and twocounts of attempted burglary.The sheriff told a news con-ference attended by Janet Marcinak and her children,Julie, 14; John, 10; and Joey,8, that investigators arrested Grigoroff earlier in the dayat the Putnam CorrectionalFacility where he is servingan unrelated DWI conviction.Grigoroff was arraigned byPutnam County Judge JamesReitz and was ordered back to jail without bail.Sheriff Smith said the arrest warrant was issued after a Putnam County grand juryaccused Grigoroff of shootingand killing Marcinak when he interrupted the suspect and “one or more other per-sons” who were attemptingto burglarize the garage on New Year’s Eve Day.Smith said the investigation was continuing: “Because thecharges are pending beforethe court and the inquiry ison-going, the Sheriff’s De- partment is unable to com- ment about the case with morespecificity at this time. Thiscase will be tried in court asthe law demands and not in the public or by the media.”Following the 20 minute news conference Tuesdayevening during which thesheriff praised his staff for its“around the clock persistence, unflagging commitment, and tireless and intensive five month long investigation withassistance and support from the District Attorney’s office” represented at the briefing byAssistant D.A. Chanas Krauss.Janet Marcinak thanked theSheriff’s Department: “Weare so relieved that after allthis time the person who did this horrendous act has been captured. While we are elated, we are also very sad.”Mrs. Marcinak told the

rier

“deep down inside, I knew that John’s killer would be found. I just didn’t know when. When that call cametoday, I sat at my desk and began to cry. It was over.”John Marcinak was loved in his community and by hisfamily. Was it a relief for Mrs. Marcinak to know her husband’s death was a ran-dom act?Mrs. Marcinak replied: “It had to be random because any-one who knew John wouldn’t have done this to him. He was the greatest father and community member. We just didn’t know why.”Mrs. Marcinak who wassurrounded by her children broke down. “Why did this man have to kill my husband? John would have given him anything he wanted. He wouldn’t put up a fight. Why?Why did he kill my John and take him away from our chil-dren and family. He didn’t have to kill him.”Tears rolled down Mrs. Mar-cinak’s cheeks as her children began to cry.“John can never be replaced and all for nothing,” she said.

by Michael Turton Veteran Philipstown coun-cilman Richard Shea has an- nounced that he will run for Town Supervisor in the up-coming election in November.He made the announcement on Sunday, May 31, 2009 at the home of Kim Conner, his campaign chair. Shea had been endorsed as theDemocratic candidate at thePutnam County DemocraticParty convention in Carmellast Thursday.Shea’s nomination marksthe end of an era in Philip-stown as longtime Supervi-sor Bill Mazzuca steps down as Supervisor. Mazzuca hasserved as Town Supervisor for sixteen years after spendingtwo years as a councilman.Prior to that he had served on the Village of Cold Spring board for six years.Mazzuca and Shea both ad-dressed a group of about fortysupporters who had gathered for the announcement. In en-dorsing Shea, Mazzuca said that he felt it was “…time for someone with a different set of skills and abilities to taketo the Town to the next level.”Mazzuca drew hearty laugh-ter when he added that helooked forward to the monthsahead when he would be in a position to write letters-to-the-editor regarding local political issues.In a brief prepared speech,Shea outlined what he seesas the priority issues goinginto the election campaign.“I see all issues as qualityof life issues because all of them will affect the qual-ity of life that we expect to maintain in our town” hesaid. Keeping taxes low wasfirst on Shea’s list of priori-ties, to be accomplished, “… by spending taxpayer moneyon the things we need and hold valuable.” Shea also said that Philipstown should be “a leader in the move to makethis a model community for sustainability. Not just as a buzz word but in practice.”He pointed out that the Town now buys all of its municipalelectricity from wind power and that he looks forward to“more green initiatives.”Shea also listed enactment of new zoning for the Town and environmental protection through public education asother priorities. “This meansarming people with the knowl-edge they need regarding their septic systems, protectinggroundwater by lowering pesticide and chemical fer-tilizer use and controlling non-point source pollutantsthrough storm water manage- ment” he said.Shea was elected to thePhilipstown Town Board in 2001 and in recent years hasserved as Deputy Supervi-sor. A lifetime resident of Philipstown, he owns and operates Shea Construction,a small residential construc-tion company.
