Residents are angry that their leaves are not picked up in a timely manner. The difficulties faced are many. In some cases there are 150-200 bags per residence in any given neigh- borhood. The bags are taken to a mulching opera- tion and each bag has to be cut open. The process is time consuming and labor intense. Meanwhile, other duties cannot be neglected – road patching, water main breaks, park maintenance, etc. Our crew will be out in full tilt. We apologize for the incon- venience.

Throughout November, they brought homemade goodies, toiletries, Christmas decorations, hand-held games, and other beau- tifully wrapped presents, filling a huge storage container with cheer and good wishes. These presents are headed for Baghdad to the men and Capt. Heather A. Hills, stationed there, calls “her soldiers.” This isn’t the first time this group has banded togeth- er to extend a helping hand. This fall Curves raised money during the Walk for a Cure. It was that effort that inspired one member to suggest this holiday project, and the gen- erosity and fellowship of the women made it a success. At Curves, where weight is often a topic, the women donated in excess of 100 pounds of presents.

His secret recipe for longevity? Werany says to have a 100th Birthday glass of wine with the dinner meal and a teaspoon of cod continued from page 1 liver oil every morning. “I think the cod liver oil kept me oiled up all these years,” mused Werany. While visiting a friend in Florida, New York, Lorena and Howard discovered the charming Town of Warwick and liked it so much they decided to move here and make it their home – a charming house on Sleepy Valley Road. He worked at Middletown’s popular discount store, Playtogs, on Dolson Avenue, starting there in 1955 and remaining there for 17 years in the shipping and receiving department: “I lasted as long as the company did,” he remarked then recalling how he used to go out in the morning to the nearby Dixie Diner and buy 22 cups of cof- fee and buns for his workers who came to work without breakfast. “But then the boss caught on and cut it out and that was drastic. I couldn’t understand how they could work without their coffee, I don’t know,” he said. Family calls him “one of the kids” and a veritable spunky ringleader always doing things like playing scrab- ble, lotto, card games and always baking bread or bagels for everyone to snack on. His friends call him a real “people person” and they love him because he does care about them and does a lot of little things instead of doing one giant spectacular one. Werany has been sometimes “over-helpful” said his daughter Janetta. Once he helped his girl friend, who is 80 years old, out of a chair and he flipped and broke some ribs as well as she too!” Although always an avid walker, Werany now has extra mobility to get around his village. He recently purchased a mobility electric scooter to help him get around and about what he considers his native home in a sense. “I’ve lived here for 47 years and have enjoyed this won- derful place but I wasn’t ‘baptized’ here to be called a native,” said the avid reader who likes classical music and a little glass of wine at the end of the day. “I wasn’t baptized in Wawayanda Creek and am still looking forward to that because I feel badly about that. If I was baptized here I would be a real Warwickian – a people of the valley,” he added. It is said that men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing. Whether ten or a hundred, if there is in one’s heart the love of wonder, the childlike appetite of what’s next, and the courage to play the game as the rules are written, that person is forever young. And Howard Werany is 100 years young! Warwick’s Howard Werany is all smiles while cutting his 100th Birthday Cake.

If some- thing happened on a route, like an accident, the compa- ny would ask: “How is the horse?” and didn’t say, “How is the man? because you could always replace the man.” “Milk was 12 cents a quart for Grade A and 11 cents for Grade B and the company was forever pushing butter, eggs and cottage cheese but the prices were higher than the stores and it was rough getting rid of them,” recalls Werany. “My father-in-law got me into the milk business which was practically slavery really – you get up at 2 a.m. and the hours were long, sometimes 12 hours a day or more,” he said. Werany married Lorena Steudtner in 1928 when he was 24. “My mother said I was too young to get married – and perhaps she was right – but it lasted and I was mar- ried very nicely for over 61 years,” said Werany. The couple met at a canoe club at Sheepshead Bay. “I met her there because I saw what I was getting – you know in those days women wore dresses down to their ankles and you couldn’t tell what was under the package,” chuckled Werany. Howard and Lorena had four children: Adrienne Cambell, Eunice Golia, Janetta Montouri and Victor Howard with his four children, from left: Eunice Golia, Janetta Monntouri, Victor Werany, Howard and Adrienne Campbell.

James and Richard Fivehouse received their Eagle Scout pins from their father, Scoutmaster Thomas Fivehouse, at a ceremony held at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Sat., Dec. 4.

It takes a life of scouting per- formance and determination to reach the top level. They must earn 21 merit badges including twelve required ones. As a Life Scout they serve actively in a position of responsibility for a period of six months as well as plan, develop and give leadership to others in a service project. Both boys were involved in service projects that helped the Warwick Ecumenical Food Pantry. James, the oldest of the brothers, directed 68 volunteers in a door-to-door collection of food.

By John VanPelt

The Warwick boy’s varsity soccer team concluded their season at the annual Warwick Soccer Banquet. The ban- quet was wonderfully organized by the Warwick Soccer Booster Club. Out-going chairpersons Linda Pink and Karen Emmerich did their usual outstanding job organiz- ing the dessert banquet. The boys celebrated the accomplishments of the Varsity Division II Championship team as well as this sea- son’s JV team which went 10 – 5 under first year coach Kelly Ross. The girls JV and Varsity teams were honored as well by coaches Inga Helseth and Susan Waddell. The Varsity players were each called up individually to receive their 2004 letter or pin and their 2004 Division Championship patch. Receiving Varsity letters for the boys were Seniors, Jake Pettinato and Alex Schmeider; Juniors, Brendan Grace, Steve Maggio, Tom Johnson and Dan Mazzella; Sophomore, Patrick Akin also received his varsi- ty soccer letter. Receiving their soccer pins for two or more years of varsity participation were Seniors, Ryan Hallisey, Tim Gillen, Jeff Paulik, Adam Emmerich, Patrick O’Connor, Adam Lloyd and Mike Stubeck.

One minute, a miraculous recovery. The next, a diagnosis is made with the aid of technology that wasn’t available a year ago. Meanwhile, a child is born thanks to the availability of state-of-the-art equipment. A grandfather opens his eyes after laser surgery and looks at his granddaughter as though it’s the very first time. What may appear to be miracles is really the result of unflagging commitment to our community. Our patients recently voted us #1 in patient satisfaction in a poll conducted by Professional Research Consultants (PRC). We take pride in knowing that we have been distinguished with 12 separate national awards for outstanding service. There’s a spirit to St. Anthony’s that guides us every minute of every hour. Some call it medicine. We think it’s something more.
