COUNTY NOTES Chief Snyder to retire next year

New Paltz police chief Joseph Snyder told town board members last week that he will be retiring in April 2020. He broke the news in executive session of the police commission, a body which for the past several years has been populated by council members rather than the citizens who previously served. It was announced in public as soon as they returned to public session. Snyder joined the town police force in 1987 as a part-timer and was hired as a full-time officer the following year. His rise through the ranks reached its pinnacle in 2008, when he was promoted to chief. The current plan is to promote from within, ac- cording to town supervisor Neil Bettez. TERENCE P WARD No ICE raids in Saugerties Despite social media postings and talk around town indicating that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had conducted raids in Saugerties and taken two individuals into custody last Friday, July 12, the agency said no such raids took place.

Hot dogs and hamburgers will be available and some vendors will be on hand, too, with the activity culminating in fireworks at approximately 9:30 p.m. The parade is expected to last an hour and a half, with some 39 different fire companies from Ulster, Dutchess and Orange counties participating. Those who come to watch should be able to view the parade by lining up on any of the main streets in downtown Highland, said Gallagher, with the field celebration following planned to be much like Highland’s Inde- pendence Day celebration. “We hope the community comes out to see what their fire department is all about, and just have an enjoyable evening,” said Gallagher. “It should be a pretty good event!” THIS MONTH’S TOPIC: AGING IN PLACE Hepworth hempire is born Aging in Place is allowing you to stay in your own Changes at the seventh-generation Hepworth home as you age and receive services at home Farms, mostly in Milton but a bit over the town line into Lloyd, have started to cause a stir, prompting twin sisters Gail and Amy Hepworth to visit a Lloyd JULY 30TH Best Western Plus RSVP town board meeting last week as part of a public-re- 2:00pm 503 Washington Ave. 845.338.6405 lations campaign.

10 SPORTS THURSDAY, JULY 25, 2019 KINGSTON TIMES A year to build on

As a good year ends, Stockade FC looks to a better 2020 BY CRISPIN KOTT n its fourth season, local soccer team Kingston Stockade FC returned to its winning ways under new Head Coach Jamal Lis-Sim- Imons, compiling a 7-3-4 record, highlighted by an 11-game unbeaten streak. As the long off-season gets underway, Lis-Simmons and Club Chairman Dennis Crowley look back on what the team accomplished in 2019, and look forward to the future. “The club continues to exceed all expectations every year,” said Crowley. “I mean the emotional connection that people are able to have with the club and commu- nity through the product on the field. This is unrelated to wins/losses/draws or playoffs/not playoffs.” Even with their successes on the pitch, “not play- offs” is where Kingston wound up this season, at least partly because they play in the National Premier Soccer League’s North Atlantic Conference, which includes perennial powerhouse the New York Cosmos, who as of press time are two wins away from being crowned the league champion. “Eleven games unbeaten will be a record we’ll talk about for years to come, and we will continue to try to beat seasons from now,” said Crowley. But what’s so hard to swallow sometimes is that it’s a great headline for the season, but we still didn’t make the playoffs. Our conference is just so competitive.” With two teams per-conference earning their way into the postseason, Kingston also trailed longtime nemesis the Brooklyn Italians in the standings when it was all over. But in the two games the teams played against one another, Stockade firmly established themselves as a club that will not back down. It started with the sixth game of the season, by which PHYLLIS McCABE time Kingston was 3-1-1, having rebounded from a 2-1 Players celebrate a happy moment last month in the match at Dietz versus the Brooklyn Italians, where Stock- loss to the Cosmos and a deflating 1-1 draw at Greater ade FC eked out a draw in stoppage time.

It may also crucial steps in building on the match-day atmosphere, Markovic scored in the 90th minute, the 1-1 tie the first come from both veterans and players who established but there is still work to be done moving forward, point Stockade had ever earned against the Italians. themselves this season returning to the fold in 2020. including increasing attendance. On Wednesday, June 26, the action moved to Dietz Van Epps and Noah Robinson, Tyler Swanbeck and “I’d love to get to the point where it’s a given that Stadium, where Kingston fell behind 2-1 to Brooklyn, Conner Rezende, Afonso Pinheiro and Justin Jaime, we get to 1,000 fans per game,” Crowley said. “I think then went down to nine men around 10 minutes into along with many others, showed their mettle during food trucks help us get there, and I’d like to continue the second half.

And hopefully it’s something we can grow off of and turn this into a real rivalry next year.” Peace, love and the engine’s in the back or Crowley, the home draw against FBrooklyn, with the crowd riding out a long storm delay in their cars before returning to the stands, was unforgettable. “I’ve never experienced anything like that anywhere, in all the stuff I’ve done all throughout the world in all sorts of different sports,” he said. “The club continues to create moments like that. And that is the essence of what this season was for me. We’re just going to keep creating moments like this. You don’t know if it’s going to be good, you don’t know if it’s going to be bad. This club has a way of touching the community in a way that gets a real emotional, meaningful response.” Kingston would close out the season with a pair of tough losses, the first a 4-2 result on the road against a Boston City side that only won two all season long. The Cosmos, who are likely headed out of the North Atlantic Conference and into the NPSL’s new Founders Cup professional league, blitzed Kingston to the tune of 6-0 in the last game of the season. Those two losses, Crowley said, may postpone Stockade’s return to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, a feat they achieved after they won the Atlantic White Conference in 2017. “I want us to qualify for the U.S. Open Cup again,” said Crowley. “Of course I want us to win a conference championship and a regional championship, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the Open Cup just because that’s what inspired the creation of the club. I want an Open Cup home game in the Hudson Valley. That’s PHYLLIS McCABE my new stretch goal.” AMY CROSSFIELD OF WEST HURLEY and her 1973 VW Campmobile were one of the interesting vin- tage and newer Volkswagens spotted at the Kingston Pop Museum’s Love Fest Parade and VW Car Show and [DROP CAP] One way of ensuring they get back to Cruise last Sunday.

No felony, no murder? Continued from Page 1

occurred after the Stansberrys and Gardener allegedly stole two ounces of marijuana from Lancaster’s son, Jahsi Quilles, at a nearby trailer park. In addition to second-degree murder, Stansberry is charged with robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. Stansberry Sr. is charged under the state’s felony murder statute. The law holds that if someone is killed during the commission of, or immediate flight from, a felony crime, all participants can be held culpable for the victim’s death — regardless of whether they directly caused it. That means the prosecution doesn’t have to prove that Stansberry fired the fatal shot, just that he was an active participant in the robbery that led to it. In his opening statement, Stansberry Sr.’s lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Russell Schindler, told ju- rors the evidence would show that the gun that killed Lancaster was never displayed during the robbery. Instead, Schindler said, the trio either used fake $100 bills to buy the weed, or simply ran off without paying when it was handed to them. That, Schindler argued, constituted the misdemeanor of petit larceny — a POOL PHOTOS BY TANIA BARRICKLO/DAILY FREEMAN crime not covered under the felony murder statute. Defense attorney Russell Schindler makes a point. “If there’s no felony, there’s no felony murder,” Schindler said. Stansberry Jr. testified that his father Stansberry Sr. was initially slated removed the gun from the backpack, to stand trial alongside his son and chambered a round and handed it to Gardener.
