Vote for Cheney and Collura for Village of Warwick Trustee

| 16 Feb 2020 | 05:16

    I have lived in the Village of Warwick since 1952 and graduated from Warwick High School. I served in the U.S. Air Force and became a Warwick Village Police Officer in June 1966 which merged with the Warwick Town Police in 1991. I retired as a sergeant in 2002. I am known in the community for teaching the Defensive Driving courses in Warwick as well as a certified instructor for the N.Y.S. Five Hour Pre-Licensing course.

    I have never endorsed a candidate for office before but I feel compelled to ask for your support for two candidates running for Warwick Village Trustee.

    I was on the Warwick 150 committee and involved with planning for the time capsule. This is where I met Mary Collura who encouraged me to be a part of this group in which she worked hard to make it a success. She asked me to locate some old timers who were part of the original Warwick 100-year celebration in 1967.

    I connected her with the late Charlie Papaceno and Louise Gilbert who were both part of the planning. She included them in the parade and garnered so much information from them – making the 150th celebration inclusive for all to enjoy.

    Mary is a team player and has devoted countless volunteer hours at fund raisers in the Village.

    While I was in Village Hall for committee meeting’s I saw Trustee Barry Chaney always in the meeting room working hard on some project for the Village. I asked the Mayor about Barry also being an Orange County Legislator and he said we were lucky to have him in both roles as that he was valuable to our Village. I can attest to his work ethic. He serves as Deputy Mayor and is very capable as any other Village official or employee will attest.

    Please recognize these two Village residents as your choice for the two Village Trustee positions that are being voted on Mar. 18.
