  • October 2016
    TRACKS OF TIME Monthly Publication from the Zephyrhills Historical Association Volume 18 – Number 10 October 2016 The next Zephyrhills Historical Association meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 1st in the meeting room of the Zephyrhills Public Library, 5347 8th Street. The business meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and the program is at 6 p.m. Refreshments include drinks, which are provided, and food brought in to share by members. Speakers Al Stone, as General Robert E. Lee, entertained us all at our October meeting. He was quite believable in this role, and he took the opportunity to give those in attendance a history lesson on the first hundred years of our nation from the perspective of Lee. The Union of the Sovereign States making up our country during Lee’s time was quite different from what it is today. It may be hard for some of us to understand, but General Lee felt very strongly that his first allegience belonged to his State of Virginia. I thought Al did a terrific job explaining this to me, among other things. Robert E. Lee is an interesting man, and Al brought him to life. Our presentation for November will be from another of our newest members, and will again be an interpretation of a famous historical figure. I am not at liberty to divulge who the historical figure is, but I can tell you that Buck Winslow is going to play the part. You’ll need to come and join us to find out who he’ll be portraying.

Kenny Jerry Bottari Denis Troy Tom Diviny Paul Valentine A Message from the Supervisor Although we have all been living through some unprecedented times these last few months, with the summer finally here and the Mid-Hudson quickly entering new phases of the NY Forward Reopening plan, there is no better time to get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors right here in Orangetown. While this year we cannot offer all of the same programs that we have done in the past, our Orangetown Parks & Recreation Department has been hard and work to come up with a wide selection of fun family-orient- ed activities for children, adults, and senior citizens of all fitness levels. Lead by Superintendent Aric Gorton, our staff's mission is to continuously strive to deliver quality, affordable programming in, what is more impor- tant now than ever, a safe and healthy environment. I want to thank the entire Parks and Recreation Department for their con- tinued hard work and dedication to enhancing the quality of life here in Orangetown. As you thumb through this season’s brochure, please mark your calendars with all the activities you and your family will enjoy. With an excellent line up of programming and hundreds of acres of parks and trails that the Town and Rockland County have to offer, we hope you will take advantage of everything right in your backyard.

If that wasn’t enough, throw in Babe Ruth’s baseball glove, Mickey Mantle’s bat and Muham- mad Ali’s boxing gloves. District Attorney Charles Hynes’ announcement of 11 arrests marked the culmination of a nine- month investigation into a loan sharking operation allegedly run out of two 13th Avenue businesses in Dyker Heights — a now defunct candy store at 66th Street and a sports memorabilia store, Gamers Illusions, at 73rd Street.
