They can preserve an architectural work of worldwide significance—OR— through lack of action you can let it be destroyed. 2. Preserving it brings positive publicity to the County and creates a tourist destination: architectural tourism is now a multi-million dollar industry! 3. Destroying it will damage the county’s image: publications are already referencing the demolition as an act of government vandalism. 4. Preserving it will immediately save almost $8 million in demo costs, save financing costs, and result in quicker construction of the new facilities—a responsible use of our tax dollars! 5. The Kaufman plan brings immediate income to the county, puts the building on the tax rolls, brings revenue to local businesses in Goshen (though tourism, renovation contracts, and the ongoing expenditures of the building’s new tenants). 6. Orange County has had trouble balancing a budget—so how can it justify unnecessary spending? In fact: the funds are not even in the coffers? 7. There are serious rumors of alleged improprieties between county employees and contractors involved in this project. This whole process will be placed under a microscope and allegations of corruption are likely to be investigated. The loss of confidence from that has serious economic consequences for a community. Voters: Call your representatives tell them to do the right thing for the taxpayers of Orange County. Steve Brander Central Valley, N.Y.

Judge Hasin has a heart, especially for young people, and emphasized how he wants to make a difference in their lives. “As a judge in Woodbury, I have often been able to help many who come before my bench, young and old, but it is really the young where I can have a long lasting impact for their good”, Hasin declared. Judge David Hasin takes to the podium with a smile after being announced as an Orange County Family Court candidate by his daughter Hannah. Dave Hasin and his wife Marcy take a moment together at Kristy’s after his announcement. Hasin opened his campaign on Saturday for county Family Court Judge.

Judge Hasin graduated from Rutgers in 1989 where he majored in Political Science and from Pace University School of Law in 1992. He has been admitted to the bar in New York, New Jersey, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia and U.S. District Court (N.D.N.Y.).

Assemblyman Skoufis also strongly supports a plan by the governor to provide a tax credit for homeowners whose property tax burden exceeds six percent of their income. Those eligible in Orange and Rockland counties would save on average about $1,000 per household. “Sky-high property taxes are crushing Hudson Valley families, forcing many to leave their homes and leave our state. This property tax relief plan will work to reverse that trend.” Skoufis stressed. “Tying ones property tax bill to income and ability to pay will provide the real relief for those who need it most.” Skoufis also expressed support for a proposal to boost New York’s agricultural economy by including $20 million for farmland preservation in the Hudson Valley. According to Comptroller Thomas Dinapoli, New York’s agricultural economy accounted for over $5 billion in sales in 2012, with over $100 million generated in Orange County alone. www.WoodburyGazette.com Community March 12, 2015 “Honoring Woodbury’s Volunteer Organizations” By Dorothy Morris Central Valley - “Honoring Woodbury Volunteer Organizations” is the Gatehouse theme for the season. Volunteer organizations are essential for the strength of a community. Woodbury is fortunate to have a number of organizations dedicated to maintaining an outstanding quality of life, all successful because of those who give of their time and energy. These are the folks who unselfishly “give back to their community”. As one of those volunteer entities, the Gatehouse Committee is hosting this endeavor, hopeful that all of our community will join in honoring these “town heroes.” Organizations are invited to participate at prearranged Gatehouse Open Houses. Displays will give the history, purpose, mission, responsibilities, activities, albums, personal accounts by members, and even a call for residents to join the “cause.” Present and past members/officers will be posted. April 19th from 2:00- 4:00pm, The Woodbury Community Association will take center stage with its nearly 100 years of service to Woodbury. Often the organization that silently helps those in need, serves the food for many organi- zations and events, and supports many facets of local need, we honor their commitment. Their long, proud history is told in a visual tribute at the Gatehouse. With the grateful support of the Gazette, each month’s organizations will be announced. The Gatehouse Gatehouse Learning Center Photo by Ben Meyers Committee intends this season to be a time to appreciate each other’s expertise, loyalty and contributions to the place we call home! We hope you will visit us often during the summer. The Gatehouse programs and events are free and open to the public.

The VW bus was reportedly the brainchild of Dutch businessman Ben Pon, an importer of Beetles to the Netherlands, who saw a market for a small bus and in 1947 sketched out his concept. Volkswagen engineers further developed the idea and in March 1950, the vehicle, with its boxy, utilitarian shape and rear engine, went into production. The bus eventually collected a number of nicknames, including the “Combi” (for combineduse vehicle) and the “Splittie” (for its split windshield); in Germany it was known as the “Bulli.” In the U.S., it was referred to by some as a hippie van or bus because it was used to transport groups of young people and their camping gear and other supplies to concerts and anti-war rallies. Some owners painted colorful murals on their buses and replaced the VW logo on the front with a peace symbol. According to “Bug” by Phil Patton, when Grateful Dead musician Jerry Garcia died in 1995, Volkswagen ran an ad featuring a drawing of the front of a bus with a tear streaming down it. The bus was only the second product offering for Volkswagen, a company whose history dates back to the 1930s Germany. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany and announced he wanted to build new roads and affordable cars for the German people. At that time, Austrianborn engineer Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951) was already working on creating a small car for the masses.

Lisa Jacobsen: 845-928-7146 (then Press #1) 7 Hitler and Porsche later met and the engineer was charged with designing the inexpensive, mass-produced Volkswagen, or “people’s car.” In 1938, work began on the Volkswagen factory, located in present-day Wolfsburg, Germany; however, full-scale vehicle production didn’t begin until after World War II. In the 1950s, the Volkswagen arrived in the U.S., where the initial reception was tepid, due in part to the car’s historic Nazi connection as well The first generation of the Volkswagen bus, Type 2 with the split windshield, informally called the Microbus, Splitscreen, built from 1950 to 1956, built in Wolfsburg. This one was the Sun Star model. www.thetruthaboutcars.com as its small size and unusual rounded shape (which later led to it being dubbed the “Beetle”). In 1959, the advertising agency Doyle Dane Bernbach launched a groundbreaking campaign that promoted the car’s diminutive size as a distinct advantage to consumers, and over the next several years VW became the top-selling auto import in the U.S. In 1972, the VW Beetle passed the iconic Ford Model T as the world’s best-selling car, with over 15 million vehicles produced.

Eachus - Orange County Legislator, 15th District Congratulations to the 127 young ladies from the Heart of the Hudson Council who received their Gold Award in scouting on Saturday, March 7th, 2015. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award girls can earn in Girl Scouting. It represents a girl’s commitment to herself and to her community as she focuses on leadership, career exploration, personal challenges and completing a lasting project that will benefit her community. It takes many hours of preparation, planning and work to accomplish the goals a girl has set for herself. Once she has completed the project, she must go before a review committee to present her project and her completed book highlighting her journey to the Gold. The girls are members of service organizations of a seven county council representing Dutchess, Orange, Putnum, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties. Local Orange County Gold Award recipients are listed below with their Service Unit, project and project description. All of the award winners can be found on the Woodbury Gazette’s website WoodburyGazette.com. Lisa Weissburg, Troop 215, Woodbury – St. Patrick’s Medical Mission Lisa’s project addressed the issue of insufficient medical care in the northwestern region of the Dominican Republic. She worked with Island Impact Ministries to organize and lead a weeklong medical mission trip. She created a team of one doctor, seven nurses, six chaperones and ten teens who travelled together to the Dominican Republic to set up free mobile medical clinics.

With the help of volunteers, she organically grew 147.5 pounds of vegetables and herbs. Shivani Patel, Troop 78, Cornwall – Stop and Play Shivani’s project had two goals – the first was to increase fitness levels of youth in her community, and the second was to provide unemployed individuals easy access to appropriate and professional wear for job interviews.

But as I went with him and helped him to see why the doctors wanted to do the tests they did, he consented. In the end, it turned out that my Dad just needs a shot once a month. It’s a simple solution, but if left uncorrected, could have led to his death. For some people, reading the Bible sounds about as fun as going to see the doctor. If you’re not in dire pain or distress, why rock the boat? Why? Because the Bible is filled with simple solutions to some of our biggest problems, that if left uncorrected, could lead to our death, both here on earth and eternally. For people who are eager to live life to the fullest, doing a careful examination of their life from time to time is one of the smartest things they can do. They’re like the Bereans mentioned in the Bible, the people who lived in a city in Greece called Berea, who did another kind of examination, but one that was just as life-changing. When Paul went to the Bereans to tell them that Jesus was Christ he found that they were more noble than the people of other cities he had visited: “Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true” (Acts 17:11). The Bereans were eager to hear about Jesus, to find out if He really was the Savior, the Messiah, the Christ. They wanted to find out the truth, because they knew how important that truth would be to them. So they examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul was telling them was true. The reason I like the Bereans so much is because I was one myself. Although I had gone to church all my life, I never really read the Bible on my own until my mid 20’s. I began attending a church where they had a class called the Berean Class. When I asked why they called it that, they told me the story of the Bereans in the Bible who eagerly examined the Scriptures every Chris Scibelli B R O K E R / O W N E R C.S.A REALTY GROUP Serving Monroe-Woodbury Since 1977 Residential Commercial Business Brokerage Land Development Property Management 522 Route 32, Highland Mills, NY 10930 845-928-8000 Email: [email protected] Web: ChrisScibelli.com See us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/CSARealtyGroup day to see if what they were being taught was true. So I went out and bought a Bible filled with helpful study notes. I began to read it, and I really enjoyed it! The more I read it the more eager I was to keep reading! I began to discover that all I had been taught about the Bible was true. One day, I finally put my faith in Christ. That turned out to be the single most important turning point of my life - literally saving my life here on earth and for eternity. Paul went to many cities and reasoned with many people from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. Paul said, “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” (Acts 17:3b). As a result, many believed, both Jews and Greek, men and women. Faith examines. If you’re curious about the Bible, about Jesus, or about any of the hundreds of other topics addressed in the Bible, from relationships to healing, from sexuality to eternal life, I’d encourage you to read the Bible for yourself. Examine it. Study it. Eagerly receive the message contained within it― and believe it. You may find you just need a shot of B12, or you may need some serious, but life-saving surgery. Either way, when you examine the Bible like the Bereans did, you’ll find that it contains the words you need to live the fullest life possible here on earth―and in heaven, too. Prayer: Father, help me to eagerly examine Your Word daily to find out for myself that the words are true. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Big question - we need to ask congress as they re-authorize ESEA! By Dawn Hoagland There seems to be a new idea, which is actually old, being presented in congress right now: Children can be trained to do whatever we want them to do – just like pigeons! In 1977 The District of Columbia’s Associate Superintendent of Schools, Guines, told us about the change from teaching academics to skills training, recommended by the U.S. military and necessary for workforce training. “The materials will be standardized, the lessons will be standardized,” Guines said. “We’re taking the play out. We’re taking the guesswork out. We’re putting in a precise predicted treatment that leads to a predicted response.” Guines said that the new curriculum is based on the work in behavioral psychology of Harvard University’s B.F. Skinner, who developed teaching machines and even trained pigeons during World War II to pilot and detonate bombs and torpedoes. The basic idea, Guines said, is to break down complicated learning into a sequence of clear simple skills that virtually everyone can master, although at different rates of speed. “If you can train a pigeon to fly up there and press a button and set off a bomb,” Guines remarked, “why can’t you teach human beings to behave in an effective and rational way? We know that we can modify human behavior. We’re not scared of that. This is the biggest thing that’s happening in education today…” (Excerpt from The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Iserbyt, p. 146) Some people have been planning for the world-wide conversion to C A R S 85 Route 17M•Harriman, NY Walk-ins Welcome Open Mon – Friday 8-5 Mention this Ad and receive $10 OFF a repair of $75 or more Outcomes Based Education for decades. B.F. Skinner died in 1990 and Benjamin Bloom died in 1999 but Marc Tucker is still around to clap for this incredible transformation. Now he can write, “Dear Hillary, it is finally happening in 2015.” The Common Core is their dream come true. Anyone who compares the old New York State Standards to the Common Core can see that academic content has been replaced by empty skill sets. Acquiring knowledge has been exchanged for modifying behavior. Learning how to carry numerals for double digit addition has been replaced by drawing circles around each group of ten cupcakes. This is not progress. Kindergarten students are now expected to sit at desks for hours being inappropriately subjected to a crash course in reading before they can tie their shoes. What happened to playing with blocks, learning how to choose the right one, balancing it correctly to construct a tower? How about painting at an easel with bright colors? The Common Core has made blocks and easels irrelevant. It is important to understand Benjamin Bloom’s definition of education, “to change the thoughts, actions, and feelings of students.” Bloom is to modern teacher training what Moses is to Judaism. Every teacher studied “Bloom’s Taxonomy” after it was published in 1969. The authors of Blooms taxonomy state: “we recognize the point of view that truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and IMPORT & DOMESTIC AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR • NY State Inspections • Brakes • Front End • Engine Analysis Specializing in Exhaust Repairs Expert Welder on staff! fast truths which exist for all time and all places.” Benjamin Bloom, Editor, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, The Classification of Educational Goals, Handbook I: Cognitive Domain, at 32 (1969). In 1962, prayer was banned from public schools. Removing God from the schools paved the way to remove discussions of absolute truth as well. Character Education became the new buzzword. Do we really want the state to define “good citizenship” and “morality” for our children? Nazi Germany, Red China and the Soviet Union each defined “good citizens” and used data collection and surveillance to force compliance. We know that Skinner’s lab rats received food pellets during their training. What does behavior modification look like in the classroom? Students are taught to respond to a system of extrinsic rewards and consequences called Positive Behavior Intervention Strategies (PBIS.) Some teachers ask students to comply because they will get a sticker or marbles in the jar that will eventually result in a pizza party. Behavior modification is not about acquiring knowledge, using logic, or assessing truth. In fact, those things interfere with the programming. This is where the excessive nonsensical testing comes in. Truth and knowledge are not the point. It is only necessary for the student to know how to answer a series of cockamamie questions correctly and navigate the mouse to complete the test on time. Such a system deprives the student of opportunities to reason through circumstances where depth of knowledge and good judgment are needed. Complying with nonsensical demands demonstrates loyalty to authority. What if the real purpose of the tests is simply to determine who is a compliant test taker? Opt your children out of the tests. Deprive the state of data. Urge congress to scrap the proposed ESEA bills. The interoperable state data collection systems must be dismantled. Call congress: 202-224-3121. Did humans really evolve from a single-celled creature? Are we any different than animals or not? Benjamin Bloom was a transformational Marxist dedicated to destroying the ideals America was founded upon. If we know we are not mere animals, but instead created in the image of God with minds capable of discovering truth, beauty and virtue, then we must object to this tyranny. The Common Core has changed our schools from teaching academic content to training for the performance of selected skills, necessary for the implementation of a school-to-work system. This ranking and sorting program that relies on data collection, including psychometric profiles, starts in kindergarten or even pre-k. Will your children make it through the system to be labeled as “valuable” sources of human capital? Will they learn to comply? Do you really want them to?
