Democrap Swindle: Dan McCoy, Craig Apple, Tom Dolan do the Democrap Thing.
Dan McCoy, Albany County Executive seeking re-election on the democrap ticket this November, has to be dumb as dirt if he thinks he's going to get any political capital by playing a shell game AGAIN with the residents and taxpayers of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk community. If the Ravena News Herald front-page story (September 10, 2015) on the democrap conspiracy to provide Ravena youth with a place to go to stay out of trouble is to be believed it's UNBELIEVABLE.
The Scams Victimizing Ravena-Coeymans Never Seem to Stop!
And they always seem to be "for the kids."
Dan McCoy, Craig Apple Playing Democrap Joke on Ravena-Coeymans and Albany County Taxpayers!
Do you all have to be reminded that you are paying Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk school taxes to support a school budget of more than $40 million? Isn't that where the kids are supposed to be provided (1) with education, (2) with supervised extracurricular and after-school activities such as sports and field trips, (3) with academic help like tutoring and homework assistance? If Mr McCoy, Mr Apple, Mr Dolan, and Mr John D'Antonio could put together a whole brain among their four empty heads, and if they had any clue as to what has been going on in the Ravena Coeymans-Selkirk community in the past 2-3 years, they'd stay far, far away from it, especially in an election year. But they're too brainless, clueless to do that. They're blinded by their uncontrollable egos and indifference to the real needs of their communities.
If you don't remember what happened to two — count them TWO — previous youth and teen activity centers that were driven out of town by village trustee Nancy Warner, insider Cathy Deluca, Jerry "Dirty-Hands" Deluca (now executive director of the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs) after a [forced] retirement from the Coeymans Police Department, former Coeymans Police Chief Gregory "Dumpy-Dumplin" Darlington, former mummy mayor John Bruno, let us remind you how village of Ravena and town of Coeymans elected officials and corrupt police department employees (Deluca and Darlington), obstructed justice, violated protected civil rights, harassed and persecuted the teen center until kids and parents were driven away. Of course, the teen center was attracting teens and youth who would otherwise be on the street. The teen center also was potential competition for the now defunct and dismantled Ravena Health and Fitness Center that Nancy Warner and Cathy Deluca, with the collaboration and support of former mummy mayor John Bruno and the ex-Coeymans cops Jerry Dirty-Hands Deluca and Gregory "Dumpy-Dumplin" Darlington (former police chief now part-time school bus driver), unlawfully created and turned over to Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca's partner, Cathy Deluca, whose fraudulent civil service application was unlawfully considered and approved by a now resigned director of Albany County Civil Service.
How is it possible? and Who? is behind this new initiative to all of a sudden take care of Ravena's youth and teens; the very youth and teens who are an almost extinct species in Ravena and Coeymans, thanks in part to misinformation, corruption, abuse of public office, and downright nastiness?
Why do all these corrupt schemes seem to land in Ravena?
While Dan McCoy and Tom Dolan promise that the proposed youth center, which is to be housed in the same space as the former now defunct Ravena Health and Fitness Center (the third failure chalked up to Cathy Deluca's corruption and mismanagement), now that all the junk equipment has been sold (Let's see…Warner and Deluca paid Robert "Bob" Fisk, another Ravena insider, more than $40,000 for that equipment. Warner and Deluca kept the RHFC open for more than two years while it was hemorrhaging taxpayer dollars to the tune of more than $100,000 each year! So what's the final cost of these brainiac ideas to local taxpayers? Why not ask Ravena Mayor William "Mouse" Misuraca, who strangely was unavailable (as a Republican) to appear among the shark mob of democrats McCoy, Apple, Dolan, etc.)
Do we really need to pay for duplications of effort AGAIN?
Look, RCS taxpayers are paying a bundle for the services that will be literally duplicated by this idiotic so-called "youth programming initiative" for Ravena and Coeymans. We have a school budget that is supposed to be doing most of what Moron McCoy, Rotten Apple, Dudley-Dolan and Dopey-D'Antonio are pushing! In fact, didn't we recently vote on a capital improvement proposal for the athletic facilities for the RCS school district to the tune of several millions of dollars? We have an RCS Sports Association. What are they doing for youth? We have a Coeymans Police Youth Athletic organization. We have an almost competition swimming pool! Do we really need to pay for duplications of effort AGAIN?
Why Ravena-Coeymans? What's the catch? There's got to be a catch. Or is it just that the democraps are scared shiteless that their cronies are going to get the boot in November?
This sounds like another scam that's taking the RCS community for another ride down Stupid Lane. If you fall for this one like you've fallen for all the other scams from Reubenville to the Ravena Health and Fitness failure, you really should be sent down the river for mental treatments.
If the county of Albany and Mr McCoy, Mr Apple and Mr D'Antonio have so much change jingling in their pockets, there are much more needy communities and organizations that need those taxpayer dollars. We intend to contact those organizations and let them know what kind of scandalous scam is going on in Ravena-Coeymans, and we'll let them ask Mr McCoy, Mr Apple and Mr D'Antonio what is going on in their empty democrap heads.
McCoy, Apple, Dolan
As for Ravena-Coeymans we have this to say: Utilize your school facilities fully. Use your RCS Commuity Library fully. Use your churches fully. Use your extracurricular activities and after-school support activities fully. Use your local sports associations fully. And parents, spend some time with your kids for a change. Try being parents.
Mr McCoy, Mr Apple, Mr D'Antonio, Mr Dolan: We're not finished with you slugs yet. We have more to say about you leeches in an upcoming article. This latest scam you're trying to feed our friends and neighbors is a declaration of election year war. Let the games begin!
Local and Regional Politicians are using and abusing our children as fodder for their inflated egos; these politicians are using our children as tools to manipulate parents and adults into supporting their freakish games. STOP it!
The Ravena News Herald was once a family-owned, community newspaper; George McHugh, a local attorney who was rewarded for his politics with a judgeship, sold out to the Johnson Newspaper Group. The Ravena News Herald in now a corporate rag being used by its owners, John B. Johnson and the Johnson Newspaper Group, to promote their politics and their agendas. The Ravena News Herald is no longer YOUR community newspaper, it's THEIRS to use to bait you with your local faces and then to force feed you THEIR politics. You are being manipulated to the max. WAKE UP RCS!
Stop using and abusing our kids for your political games!
It's not for the kids, Jerky Boys, it's for YOU!

Coeymans Has a New Police Chief: Peter J. McKenna
After former Coeymans police chief Gregory "Dumplington" Darlington jumped ship and abandoned his staff, the Coeymans police department, and the Ravena-Coeymans community, the Coeymans town board has worked hard to downsize the Coeymanazi police department. The Coeymans town board, at its regular meeting on Monday, October 27, named Coeymans police officer Peter J. McKenna to replace DoDo Dumplington.
A Very Conditional Congratulations! goes to
Coeymans Police Chief
Peter J. McKenna
and to the Coeymans Town Board
An Opportunity to Revitalize and for a Complete Makeover
Chief Peter J. McKenna
Police Chief Peter J. McKenna can use this opportunity to be a hero, to shine, to revitalize the community's faith and trust of law enforcement or he can continue in the same filthy rut as his predecessor. We hope he'll take a more positive and honorable heading for as long as he has a department to run.
Defund to Eliminate
We say "conditional" because we still urge the town of Coeymans to eliminate the Coeymans police department in its entirety but we do understand that it can't be done overnight. The strategy of defunding the Coeymans police department, and gradually forcing the derelict or dirty cops (read our article: More Coeymans Police Misconduct: We Want Answers!; BAM! Blonde Bimbo Coeymanazi Strikes Again: This Time a State Agency Car) or the more ambitious law enforcement officers to resign, or at least get them out of our schools, and to seek more lucrative, rewarding employment with a real department is a good one, and it seems to be working: several more Coeymans police department employees have resigned this week.
Actually, with the appointment of Chief McKenna, the Coeymans town board has made a second positive step: they've appointed McKenna at a salary of almost half the money that rat-king Gregory Darlington was sucking up in addition to benefits and all he could hoard of the Coeymans treasury. That's not to say that McKenna is not worth Gregory Darlington's salary and more. McKenna is a professional law enforcement officer with prior service with the Albany Police Department and reached the level of professional detective (not the Coeymans p.d. dork detective variety fathered by that retard Dudlington).
P. David Soares
Will he hire dolt Dumplington?
Chief McKenna, like most of the Coeymans police department, doesn't come to us without some historical baggage. Yes, he had problems with the Albany Police Department. Yes he had some conflicts with Albany County's pilfering, racist, womanizing district attorney, P. David Soares. But he has connections with law enforcement and that's a good thing. He has conflicts with Soares and that's a good thing. Unlike dolt Darlington, Chief McKenna may be able to conduct his law enforcement activities on the straight and narrow, not sucking up to a corrupt and incompetent district attorney. Unlike Darlington, Chief McKenna doesn't have the corrupt concerns about getting a job next to his wife (Dumpling Darlington's dumpy dumplin' Leah Darlington works as a secretary/clerk for Soares). Chief McKenna has been patrolling Ravena-Coeymans for a couple of years not and, despite his past, McKenna has earned the reputation of being fair and a generally good cop.
Albany County Enhanced 911 and Elimination of the Coeymans Dispatchers. There may be a hidden benefit to appointing a veteran and well-informed cop with plenty of city experience. Chief McKenna most probably knows a great deal about the Albany County 911 system and can be a valuable source of information and a consultant to the Coeymans town board when considering trimming the Coeymans budget of several hundreds of thousands of dollars by eliminating the redundant dispatchers. (Click here to read our article:
Dispatchers Distribute Misleading Flyer! Lies in Print…AGAIN!)
What we'd like to see Chief McKenna tackle as part of his community outreach efforts (and he will have community outreach, of that we are certain) is this: Under Darlington's incompetent bastardizing of the Coeymans police department obstruction of justice was rampant, meprision of felony (18 U.S. Code § 4 – Misprision of felony*) was a day-to-day occurrence. Having worked in the Coeymans police department for several years under Darlington's oppression, Chief McKenna knows all about the obstruction of justice and meprision of felony (especially the obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact in the Cathy Deluca case and concealment by "Dirty Hands" Jerry Deluca, Gregory Darlington and Jason Albert!) that went on in the Coeymans police department and it's now time to come clean, squeaky clean, and prove that he, Peter J. McKenna, is worthy of the chief's badge and worthy of this community's trust. (Maybe Chief McKenna can manage to uniformly, nondiscriminatingly enforce the law and truly to "serve and protect" this community. See our articles: Coeymans: Illegal "Work Zone" Signs and Unlawful Threat of Fines?; Criminal Obstruction of Justice & Official Misconduct: Gregory Darlington, Coeymans PD; What you hear or see, or know can land you in Jail! 18 USC § 4 – Misprision of Felony; Raped by the Coeymans Police Department!)
*Misprision of felony: Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
Cathy Deluca
Misdemeanor False Statement
There are dozens, literally dozens, of pending complaint investigations and pending lawsuits against the Coeymans police department and it's in Chief McKenna's interest to start on the right foot. One way to do this is to take the time, and it will be a lot of time at first, to manage the complaints and lawsuits crisis in Coeymans. Chief McKenna has to reach out to the aggrieved, defuse the situation, pledge his good will, ensure that the cases are properly investigated and the results communicated to the aggrieved parties, ensure that justice is done by getting rid of the culprits and, if necessary, ensuring that they are prosecuted. There are many in the community who can prove to be valuable allies to Chief McKenna and even to the Coeymans town board if, and only if, Chief McKenna has integrity, is honest with us, and proves he's fair and is interested in seeing justice done. Ditto for the Coeymans town board. (Read our article: Village of Ravena, Town of Coeymans Police Department Served with Notices of Claim; Criminal Complaint: Catherine M. Deluca a.k.a. Cathy Deluca, Claude A. Wheeles, Ravena Health and Fitness Center; Why Ravena Village Hall Thumbs Their Noses at the Pubic Officers Law…)
Harold "Hal" Warner = Corrupt Judge = Corrupt Justice
Noting the presence of members of the Ravena liars-lair, especially Harold "Hal" Warner, another Albany Cop who got taken off the street for his civil rights abuses, and then was elected to be a village of Ravena justice, a judge of all things! His presence and the fact that he was seen to be consulting with Chief McKenna could give rise to charges of violation of the Judicial Code of Conduct against Warner. What business does a sitting village justice have having secret discussions with the newly appointed town police chief, we have to ask. But Warner, if he's stupid enough to run for office again, will be embarrassed by a total defeat! We'll work hard to see that happen. (See our article on the Warners of Ravena: The Warners: A Family Tradition of Misconduct) As for the other self-interested crooks who were conspicuously sitting on pins and needles and felt that they had to be present at the meeting just to calm their nerves, we know who you are and we're watching together with quite a few other residents. Keep out of the way. You've on notice!
(Special note to Dawn LaMountain: Better keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer—maybe your ex-boss Dumplington, can get his wife Leah to sweet-talk Soares into defending you, or at least not to prosecute you—, you may need one soon. Your chubby chicken should also be looking for a job pretty soon, too!) (Read our article Why?: Dispatchers Distribute Misleading Flyer! Lies in Print…AGAIN!)
So, Coeymans, Chief McKenna, you both have our "conditional" Congratulations! "Conditional" because you're going to be watched like a hawk, we'll have our ears to the ground and in the community. These next couple of months will either make or break both of you, Coeymans town board and Peter J. McKenna. You both have a lot of healing to do and a lot of trust to mend.
For the Community's Sake
We wish you godspeed and fair winds to keep you on course

News Herald Still Tries to Polish a Turd
For our readers' convenience we have inserted links to articles on this blog that are referenced in this article. Just click on the links and read the article.
The Ravena News Herald never seems to miss a chance to impress us—negatively, of course—and this latest issue (Ravena News Herald, October 9, 2024) is not an exception. In fact, start sockpuppet Bryan Rowzee again betrays local readers with an unusually slanted and biased report—even for lackey Rowzee— on the town of Coeymans discussion on eliminating another duplication of services that is eating up taxpayer dollars in Coeymans: the outdated dispatcher services. But Rowzee simply repeats what some of RCS's star hypocrites and liars dribbled at a Coeymans town board meeting two weeks ago. Yes, readers, Rowzee's report is two weeks old! The devious Rowzee and his editors make readers think the information is recent by not giving the date of the meeting, making it appear that it's more recent. Don't be deceived, readers, you're paying your $1 for local news that's two weeks old. Rowzee and the morons he quotes in his "report" don't provide any facts or figures, just pure speculation and unfounded opinion—most of which is quoted from the turdy lips of local elected officials, public servants, and former board members, the very people you'd expect to get up and talk facts and figures. But, Hold on! Have we forgotted where we are? This is RCS. Not exactly the land of truth, reality, facts and figures.
Don't be deceived, readers, you're paying your $1 for local news that's two weeks old.
So how do you, some of you readers of the rag, Ravena News Herald, and stupid enough to pay $1 to do it, know what they're talking about? When you get no facts or truth, it's like climbing stairs to nowhere. You can't get to the second floor without steps or a ladder, and they're keeping you from getting the stairs or ladder.
Here's another example many of you might be more familiar with. It's in the town of Bethlehem, just about halfway between Ravena and Albany, very visibly positioned to be seen and read by people traveling on 9W towards Albany.
No Mr Ratmeyer, this is not God's handiwork?"
What this is, really is:
A distraction from the real awesomeness of God's handiwork (which the sign is obliterating)
A poor quality, computer generated, enhanced, artificial excuse for the real thing (which if you weren't reading Ratmeyer's signboard, you'd actually see God's handiwork!)
An example of the incomplete and flawed theology that local churches are feeding the famished faithful (Do they really know what it's all about ?)
A very good example of the general misinformation and dysinformation that the American people are getting from their elected officials, their media, and—as our example shows—even from their churches! (Misinformation overload!)
A silly and feeble attempt to inspire a materialistic and individualistic mass of flesh passing by to come to their senses and recover, to salvage what's left of their inheritance.
What it is, really is: A Lie.
In fact, it is a gross perversion of Calvin's two-book theology of revelation: The book of Holy Scripture and the Book of Creation. The Reformed Church of America, an offshoot of Calvinism, like so many of our local churches, especially those of the minor and miniscule denominations, preach a misguided and misinformed theology to a very badly spiritually and religiously ignorant community. Ratmeyer's Bethlehem Reformed Church isn't the only one on the path to hell. We reported on this blog the demise of the New Baltimore Reformed Church under the misdirection of Ms Susan Kerr (read the article at: New Baltimore Reformed Church: Slow Agonizing Death). But Ratmeyer's signboard is nothing more than a feeble attempt to send a message, a very poorly thought message, to an audience who haven't a clue what he's driving at. In fact, it's such an offensive perversion because Ratmeyer appears to have fallen victim to the very thing that is destroying the soul of the very humanity he is so impotently attempting to reach: the electronic video screen. How many souls has the electronic video screen already destroyed by drawing the observer's attention into its nothingness while at the same time distracting the victim from reality, from the real world, from the real beauty around him or her. What was said of television a decade or two ago was that had torn families apart; today it's the home computer, the iPads and so-called smart phones (that are smarter than their victim users) that are finishing what television started: the destruction of a social, family-oriented, community-conscious society. And the misnamed, insidious so-called social media like Facebook ("Pink Obama" Sean Eldridge's same-sex hubby Chris Hughes' contribution to the decay of America—and now Eldridge wants your vote to make him a national lawmaker, a US congressman! No gay way!) which is in fact asocial, antisocial media that has disabled interpersonal communications and relationship building to new levels.
Now let's get to our point, polishing turds.
Brian Rowzee and the Ravena News Herald Use a Lot of this.
So let's get back to the News Herald and it's misinformation and lies. While Rowzee makes very certain all of his friends get quoted, he conspicuously avoids any facts like:
How many dispatchers are concerned
How much money is being spent on the dispatchers and the dispatch office(s)
How much money will be saved if the dispatchers are eliminated
How many calls the dispatchers handle in a week, a month, a year
What kind of calls are they handling (life-and-death, car doesn't start, cat-in-a-tree, etc.)
The fact that Albany County has a very sophisticated network of 911 dispatchers who can handle just about every emergency
That most of the dispatchers are family members of town and village employees (No surprise, right?)
That if Coeymans keeps the dispatchers, they will necessarily have to spend a bundle to update their outdated equipment and more money to train the dispatchers, something that you're already paying for in your tax dollars because Albany County provides the dispatching service.
That if the dispatchers are eliminated, the town of Coeymans can save more than $350,000 in the budget.
That now that do-do cop Gregory Darlington has finally left the Coeymans p.d., the town can leave that position unfilled and save another more than $100,000 (Darlington was paid more than $100,000 if you include his benefits, pension, and town vehicle he drove around).
How does that pan out in terms of eliminating the Coeymans police department overall and letting the Albany County Sheriff and the New York State police do what they're being paid to do. (Read our article at: Supervisor Flach: On Eliminating the Coeymans P.D.)
And finally, What brand of turd polish are you using to make local shit shine, Mr Rowzee?
So let's ask Mr Rowzee and his editors, and his bosses Mark Vinciguerra and John B. Johnson of the Johnson Newspapers Corp., the corporation that owns the Ravena News Herald and Mr Bryan Rowzee, who is also part-owned by the village of Ravena: Where are the facts, the figures, the real meat and potatoes of the issue?
Looking at Rowzee's so-called report:
Nothing you're likely to get from Bryan Rowzee or the
Ravena News Herald!
It seems that Mr Tom Dolan, local democrap party official and sitting town of Coeymans board member, didn't attend the information-gathering meetings with the other board members, when they met with Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple. Why doesn't Mr Rowzee dig a bit deeper into the reasons why Dolan fell short of his obligations to this community to do everything possible to be as well informed as possible?
Rowzee reports that "two visiting village [of Ravena] trustees" attended the meeting and commented. Wait a minute, wasn't it the village of Ravena who a couple of years back told the town of Coeymans that town employees could not address the village board meetings? And didn't Michael Biscone, village attorney at the time, put that in a formal letter to the town? (Read the article at: Business as Usual in Ravena: Violation of Constitutional Rights!) And of all people from the village to make any comments on anything, we have Ravena's Bill Bailey and Nancy Warner making statements!
That's the same Bill Bailey who was told a couple of months back by town code enforcement officer Laverne Conrad in a public meeting on water delivery that Bailey was "telling the board a load of crap" (Read the article at: Conrad to Bailey: "You're telling this board a load of crap!"). While we have little regard for that snake Laverne Conrad and his crooked deals and illegal land development projects (Rea our article at: Got Creek? The Case of the Missing Stream…, , he's right Bailey does talk crap. He's known far and wide to talk crap. He never has any solid facts and mumbles any shite that happens to make its way into his muddled head. But Rowzee quotes him voicing his concern about New Scotland and Rensselaer, Westerlo, says Bailey, "I don't believe…pay for dispatch and receive the service." Duh! What's your point Bozo? And, excuse us, isn't Rensselaer a city and a county on the other side of the river? What in hell does Rensselaer have to to with Coeymans? How does Rensselaer compare to that hovel New Scotland or Westerlo? Any answers Mr Bailey, Mr Rowzee? Oops, they're talking a load of crap AGAIN!
Typical Rat Response
Both Mr Bill Bailey and Mr Tom Boehm, who lost the public's confidence in the last elections when he was voted out, were apparently concerned with "timing," and that the town's inquiry is being made around budget time. Duh No. 2. This is a question, Mr Bailey and Mr Boehm, of trimming a considerable amount of money from the town budget. When in hell else should it be considered you two morons? Are you suggesting that dead wood should be kept in the budget and the budget approved, then the dead wood discussed and possibly eliminated. Sounds like the way Bailey runs Ravena and Boehm used to run Coeymans: put the cart before the horse and wonder why nothing happens.
And of all people to be talking about behind-the-scenes meetings, and decisions made in secret, sounds like Mr Boehm is losing it. He was voted out of office because of his secret meetings, his fake press releases and conferences, his general dishonesty. But now that Boehm is out, he's got a lot to say. Well, who would know better than Tom Boehm about sneaking around and leaving the public out of the loop. Answer: Ravena sitting trustee-who-can't-be-trusted, none other than Nancy Warner. That's who!
Nancy Warner should know all there is to know about making decisions behind closed doors and secret meetings. Just about two years ago she conspired with Cathy Deluca and insider Robert Fisk to purchase more than $40,000 in used fitness equipment from Fisk. The equipment was used in a health club under Cathy Deluca's management that failed. The club and its contents were owned by Ravena insider Bob Fisk. That purchase was made behind closed doors but the history gets even more scandalous.
Nancy Warner and others on the Ravena village board met secretly with Cathy Deluca and decided that Cathy Deluca would get a health club in the space occupied at the time by the RCS Community Library. So Nancy Warner and the Ravena village board made life as miserable as possible for the library and even raised the library's rent by more than $600 a month, punishing them for not moving out. But nothing was said that the premises into which they were to move was not yet ready because the cousin, Don Persico, of sitting Ravena board member, Rocco Persico (voted out of office in the last elections but still employed by the RCS school district as a school psychologist), because Persico was waiting for the bank to approve a loan so he could continue the work. Smell a rat yet? If you do it's called a Nancy Warner!
It gets better. Well, the village of Ravena board under Warner and Bailey, then create the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, without public input and go on to budget more than $100, 000 to support it in its first year in the Ravena budget. $40,000 for used equipment, no public input, secret meetings. $100,000 for an unnecessary health club, no public input, secret meetings.
Co-conspirators & Losers: Nancy Warner's Team.

Then, they appoint Cathy Deluca to be the director of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center—by this time she's already managed two previous health clubs into oblivion and failure—, she has no qualifications at all—except that she'd previously managed two health clubs into oblivion—, and then fraudulently push through her position as a civil service position, non-competitive, with associated benefits–the director of the Albany County Civil Service Department who approved the application lost his job shortly after we started investigating the misuse of the process— (Read our article at: Ravena Laws Unconstitutional! Violation of Protected First Amendment Rights AGAIN!), and Warner pushed to pay Deluca more than $30,000 plus benefits. $40,000 for used equipment, no public input, secret meetings. $100,000 for an unnecessary health club, no public input, secret meetings. $30,000 for an unqualified insider, Cathy Deluca, to manage the illegal Ravena Health and Fitness Center, using the illegally purchased used fitness equipment. No public input, no public meetings, all behind closed doors.
But Rowzee quotes Nancy Warner as saying, "If this is going to involve the entire town and include the village, I think we need to just be made aware of what is going on." Really, Nancy? You thieving hypocrite!
Shame on you, Nancy Warner.
You'll remember last year when Nancy Warner and former mummy-mayor John Bruno were targeting the kids in Ravena, getting ex-Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington to harass them with his patrols. That stopped abruptly when we reported on the situation and filed a notice of claim against Ravena and the town of Coeymans police department for violation of civil and protected rights. Have you all forgotten Nancy Warner's involvement in the misdemeanor and civil right violations charges against Cathy Deluca and the obstruction of justice complaints brought against the Coeymans police department when Cathy Deluca filed a false report and lied to the Coeymans police, trying to bring a harassment charge against a local resident who was visiting the Ravena Health and Fitness Club. Even though the resident recorded the entire visit, from the point of leaving his car to the point of driving off, completely proving that Cathy Deluca had lied, she was kept employed. (Read the article at: Criminal Complaint: Catherine M. Deluca a.k.a. Cathy Deluca, Claude A. Wheeles, Ravena Health and Fitness Center) Then officer Jason Albert, now "detective" Jason Albert, investigated but like a good little soldier obeyed when told to drop it, was rewarded for his obstruction of justice and playing the favorites, insiders game with that promotion to detective. (Read the article at: Criminal Obstruction of Justice & Official Misconduct: Gregory Darlington, Coeymans PD)Isn't that enough on its own to eliminate the Gestapo Coeymans police department and fire all of the thugs employed there? Wouldn't that be enough to fire Cathy Deluca? They fired a village employee for using a village postage stamp but kept criminal Deluca on? (Reade the article at:Village of Ravena Served: Cathy Deluca and Ravena Health and Fitness Center under Fire and Bruno, Deluca, Warner Squirming to Cover It Up) Go figure!
Oh! Did we mention that Nancy Warner "supervises" the village of Ravena court? It just so happens that her husband, the corrupt, civil-rights abuser ex-Albany cop, Harold "Hal" Warner is the Village of Ravena justice. Pretty cozy, isn't it? But the notion of conflict of interests, abuse of public office, and public corruption hasn't yet entered Ravena's vocabulary, and, if what we've been able to observe in Ravena mayor William "Moose" Misuraca's performance, it's not likely those words will be used very soon either.
By the way, the Ravena Health and Fitness Center pays no rent, does not pay for the facilities, is failing to attract enough members to even come close to paying Cathy Deluca's salary, let alone the $100,000 budgeted for the money pit, but Ravena mayor William "Moose" Misuraca and his village board have not made a single step towards eliminating Cathy Deluca's playpen and wasting Ravena tax dollars. Why is that Mr Misuraca? Why is it, Mr Rowzee, that you never utter a peep about these issues that are so important to residents and this community?
Bryan Rowzee has been reporting for the Ravena News Herald at least for as long as all of this has been going on. He works in the RCS Community Library (see the photo on the same page of the October 9, 2014 Ravena News Herald, where he's posing with other library employees). But Rowzee, whose wife is employed by the village of Ravena as a secretary in the building department, is very careful to report just the right things and quote the right people, isn't he. Bryan Rowzee is just as guilty as the crooks he paints in such rosy colors in his so called reports. Why? Because the village of Ravena employs his wife!
Another insignificant loser to take the speakers podium was former town of Coeymans board member, Dawn Rogers, voted out in the last elections, and a close collaborator of Guess who? You got it, Tom Boehm and Tom Dolan. She makes up the third in the Coeymans Three Stooges Losers' Club. Dawn Rogers never had much to say while on the board but she's pretty perky when it comes to joining in with the crooks' choir, isn't she? Rogers couldn't be heard or when heard, believed while on the board, why should she now have such credibility? Maybe Mr Rowzee can answer that question.
The others, other than Jolene Hopkins, who was staged together with her prop-child to tear at some heart strings and support the other phoneys, was not an Oscar-winning performance. It was too easy to see through her and her story. Why is it these crooks always get the kids involved? That should be a form of abuse of a child!
Coeymans ex- police chief, Gregory Darlington, did what all good rats do.
The other speakers are really insignificant because their statements were made only to protect their own turf, their own jobs, the jobs they got with the town for their relatives. Fire chief Travis Whitbeck, former Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington (who announced his abrupt resignation later that very night) really had their own pockets in mind and had nothing, really, to say about facts and figures or anything constructive. Even Darlington, the coward, chose to resign rather than stand his ground and fight for his dispatchers and his department. Like a rat, he abandoned ship. (Our guess is that race-ticket-carrier Albany County district Attorney, another corrupt rat-keeper, P. David Soares, is expected to take Darlington in. Darlington will then be able to sit next to his wife, who already works for "Pudenda" Soares.) Albany will never change as the capital of corruption. But did we expect anything else?
Maybe if local residents boycott the Ravena News Herald and the other newspapers owned by the Johnson Newspaper Corp. (like the The Daily Mail • Chatham Courier • Windham Journal • The Mountain Eagle • Ravena News-Herald • Greene County News • River Chronicle) and its officers like Mark Vinciguerra and John B. Johnson, they might give Mr Bryan Rowzee some guidance on how to report real news, true facts, and genuine figures so that the community is informed and educated, not just fed gossip and propaganda! Hell! We might even be able to get recent news honestly reported and not reports on events that are more than 2 weeks old!
And We Thought the Village of Ravena Couldn't Stoop Any Lower
They Can!
There's one other story that needs to be covered here. That's the one where Ravena resident Regina Palmer has had to appear before the Ravena village board to be humiliated into asking to make installment payments for charges levied by the village of Ravena for "discovering" a water leak in the delivery line from the water mains. Maybe Ms Palmer should inquire with the village authorities about the village's offer in the late 90's to foot the bill for residential service lines from the village mains to the resident and to foot the bill for the digging! It's in the public record! Dozens of homes got it done, and it's still done for insiders 'quietly'. Doesn't that make better sense? Do you think Palmer should have had to pay twice for the digging? We think NOT! Not while they're paying crooks like Cathy Deluca $30,000 a year for What? And more than $100,000 a year for an illegal health club? And how many tens of thousands on botched up roadwork? It's no wonder there's no business in Ravena-Coeymans. It's no wonder half of Ravena-Coeymans' properties are either distressed, vacant, or up for sale. Way to go Ravena! Just try that on our property and learn what a good ass-kicking feels like!
Ms Palmer has kindly provided more specific details on the situation. Please see the comments for more information: We would like to correct the report we posted on the Palmer property and water line leak between the main and the Palmer home.Property where Gina Palmer resides in is not in Ravena. The location that the digging occurred was not on Ms Palmer's property, it was in fact under the road. When they discovered the leak, they did indeed show me where it was and told me it was my responsibility since the leak was in the residential line not at the main. After inquiring about how I would go about fixing a leak that was under a state road, Henry did provide Ms Palmer with the names of local contractors who could do the work; however, Ms Palmer suggested that since it was already dug up that they should go ahead and fix it. Palmer was told that there would be a charge and she agreed to have them do the work. Palmer reports that she personally thought the fee they charged was more than reasonable compared to what other contractors may have charged for this same work. Palmer says she appreciates that the Ravena board accepted her request to make payments.
Our response: It was improper for Henry Traver to have recommended local contractors to Ms Palmer. That should have resulted in a complaint to the village Board. If the leak was under a state road, we don't understand why Ms Palmer agreed to pay for the repair. Why didn't she inquire further how Traver and his crew of dunces established the property lines. If they were digging under a state road, how could they know that the leak was on Palmer's property? Why would Palmer agree to pay for the digging before a proper investigation had been conducted? Seems to us that Palmer falls in to the general category of Ravena self-made victims. We think that what Palmer did in this instance is like handing a drug addict a joint. Palmer actually enabled these crooks to continue their unlawful and crooked games with Ravena residents.
Nevertheless, Ms Palmer is an adult and can do whatever she likes. We consider what she does in its effects on the general community, however.
It's A Shame We Can't Get Good Facts

Why try to make a turd shine?
This won't work on Jerry, no matter how hard the Ravena News Herald tries!
The Ravena News Herald Does it Again!
Bryan Rowzee, local kiss-ass scriptwriter for the Ravena News Herald, manages to make shite shine in his recent front-page article "Retiring veteran officer DeLuca looks back on 32 years on the force."
We are still having humongous problems with Dirty-Hands Jerry's claim to have been on the Coeymans police force for 32 years. Our concerns—NO! Our suspicions—are based on Deluca's published résumé on LinkedIn (which appears to have been recently updated), and simple math. We're also wondering about Deluca's ability to be in so many places at the same time and doing so many things in a limited period of time, while still being an active member of a law enforcement entity.
And sock-puppet Bryan Rowzee doesn't account for the gap in Deluca's law-enforcement career that was allegedly at least 2-4 years, when—you all remember this—then police chief Scott Giroux cleaned up the Coeymans police department by firing Deluca and several others. Deluca was later re-hired—and we question the legality of that rehire in terms of civil service law—by his buddy Gregory Darlington, when the mistake was made by then Coeymans town supervisor Ron Houghtaling to put Darlington in the police chief's office.
And why doesn't Bryan Rowzee of the Ravena News Herald pick up on Deluca's many claims of employment with so many other employers? Would that perk up the community's ears and raise some eyebrows regarding the legitimacy of Deluca's claim to be "looking back 32 years on the force"?
Here's what Deluca puts on his online résumé (or have a look for yourself. Just click here: Deluca's LinkedIn Résumé):
In the "Summary" Deluca writes:
"I have 30 years experience working with and for the NYS Legislature and Government.
I have also been a police officer for the Town of Coeymans since 1982
Specialties:Legislative and Transportation Issues"
Wow! Jerry! How did Rowzee miss the 30 years "working with and for the NYS Legislature and Government" part that apparently ran concurrently with the claimed 32 years on the Coeymans police force? And how did Rowzee miss Deluca's claim to be a specialist in "Legislative and Transportation Issues"? How did we in the community miss these "brilliant" credentials in a man making barely $31,000 as an investigator on the Coeymans police force (source: SeeThroughNY, 2013 Salaries)!
That's not all. Deluca then goes on to write about his "Experience," and this is where it gets really interesting—OOPS! Did we write "interesting," we meant suspicious:
DeLuca Public Affairs
October 2005 – Present (8 years 5 months)
DeLuca Public Affairs is a firm specializing in Government Relations and Association Management
Main Street Small Business Coalition
September 2005 – Present (8 years 6 months)
Town of Coeymans Police Department
February 1982 – Present (32 years 1 month) (This is how we know Deluca updated this résumé)
MSSBC
January 2009 – December 2012 (4 years)
As Executive Director of the ARANY, I served as one o the Directors of the Main Street Small Business
September 2005 – December 2012 (7 years 4 months)
ARANY is a statewide trade association representing the Auto Dismantling Industry in New York State.
The ARANY contracted with DeLuca Public Affairs for me to serve as their Executive Director and
Lobbyist. During that time I oversaw all operations of the association, including working with the board,
managing a statewide trade show, financial management and serving on and Chairing committees for
the national association
Legislative Associate
1980 – 1993 (13 years)
[Editor's Note: In response to our inquiries, the NYS Assembly has no knowledge of Deluca or his claim to be a legislative associate. Of course, if Mr Deluca can provide hard proof of such activity, we'll be happy to correct the information, and share it with the NYS Assembly.]
We're just wondering if Mr Deluca's connections with ARANY, the special-interest, lobbying organization, Automotive Recyclers Association of New York, might not have some connection with the scrap business plans in Coeymans? How does Deluca's law enforcement activity tie in with this lobbying, special interest group? Did Deluca's position as executive director of ARANY have any impact on Deluca's performance as a law enforcement officer? Like did he show preferences or favoritism in criminal investigations? Or bias or prejudice? What are his connections with land use and zoning in the town of Coeymans? Is there public corruption here?
The Hippo
Now, all joking aside: If you were an employer looking at this slug's résumé, wouldn't you have just a few questions about all of these "employments"? Wouldn't you have a very well-founded suspicion of some sort of fraud or at least misrepresentation going on here? Well, we do. Especially when Gerald "Dirty-Hands Jerry" Deluca is resigning/retiring and will be expecting to cash in on 32 years on the Coeymans police force! That means a check every month coming from the public's cashbox!
Jerry Deluca Mugshot
A face you can really trust
We say: Before Gerald "Dirty-Hands Jerry" Deluca gets a single penny or cashes a single check, the New York State Civil Service Department has to clarify some small details like: How did Mr Deluca manage to hold down so many positions while on the Coeymans police force? How many of those positions and activities claimed by Mr Deluca constituted illegal or unethical conflicts of interest with his law enforcement activities? How did those activities play into Deluca's performance as a police officer and crime investigator? In short, how can Mr Deluca reconcile his claims regarding "experience" and the many positions he has held up to the "present" or up to "2012" as claimed in his résumé?
We'd like to know what Deluca's connections are in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the DEC, Laverne "Larry" Conrad, and Deluca's other extracurricular connections have to do with local land-grabbing, zoning changes, misuse of public office and insider activities resulting in personal enrichment.
We'd like to know why Bryan Rowzee has skimmed over all of this and, in addition, fails to mention the obstruction of justice involving Deluca and his wife Cathy Deluca and the complaints against her that were filed with the Coeymans police department and got swept under the table there. What about the Notices of Claims against Mr and Mrs Deluca?
Why haven't we heard about Mr Deluca's harassment of a local woman at a RCS CSD school board meeting—a crime perpetrated together with Guess who? Mr Matthew Miller, teacher NYSUT representative at the RCS CSD—We might want to ask Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington and Mr Bryan Rowzee where that investigation went. It's not only a civil investigation but a criminal investigation that, once reported, must be investigated. How about that Mr Darlington, Mr Rowzee?
And we won't even mention the fine moral and ethical example set by Mr Gerald Deluca, a so-called "father figure" (at least according to the pervert Town of Coeymans board member Ken Burns), when he violated Church (Deluca is a parishioner at Ravena's RC Church of St Patrick and also a "reader" there) and New York State Law on adultery, while allegedly serving on the Coeymans police force, with the current Mrs Deluca. How about that, Jerry, Greg, Bryan? Here's the law, if you need a reminder:
Section 255.17 of the state penal law states, "A person is guilty of adultery when he engages in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse. Adultery is a class B misdemeanor." A class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.

In fact, we think that the Town of Coeymans has a lot of explaining to do about those very questions we raise above, and many more regarding Deluca's claims and the operations of the Coeymans police department under Mr Gregory Darlington & friends. The New York State Office of the Comptroller, the New York State Department of Civil Service, and the New York State Attorney General's Office need to have a very close look at Mr Deluca's claims and the operation of the Coeymans police department. This might just be the tip of a very, very large, dangerous, criminal, corrupt and expensive iceberg!

Ravena Heaps & Fatness Center (RHFC)
In the end, though, we would like to sincerely wish Mr Deluca a very happy retirement elsewhere, like in Florida, where Dirty-Hands Jerry and Bottle-Blitz-Blond Cathy Deluca—if she can tear herself away from her health and fitness empire—could continue in the public's eye in Orlando, Florida, at SeaWorld, where Dirty-Hands Jerry and Cathy could put on a hippo and manatee show; Jerry could be the hippo and Cathy could play the manatee. Now there's a plan!
Secrets that you won't get in the Ravena News Herald of the Johnson Newspaper Group or the Albany Times Union of the Hearst Corporation…
This blog has been doing a lot of work uncovering the secrets that you won't get in the Ravena News Herald of the Johnson Newspaper Group or the Albany Times Union of the Hearst Corporation, or in any of the "owned" sock-puppet media controlled in Albany and Greene Counties. The voting public, the local taxpayers, our elected officials have to take a stand against corruption in government. That's why YOU need to demand accountability and transparency! YOU need to demand investigation of situations like this one by the state and local agencies responsible for keeping government honest and prosecuting public corruption! YOU need to call the Town of Coeymans supervisor and Town of Coeymans board members, the Ravena News Herald, the Albany Times Union and the New York State offices and federal agencies responsible for investigating public corruption. If Deluca's clean, only an investigation will prove that to the public's satisfaction. But the process must be honest, complete and public!
Investigate Deluca!
And the Coeymans PD!

On Monday, October 21, 2013, the first day of this post, the Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares, visited this blog a total of 24 times, spending a total of 3 hours 29 minutes and 35 seconds getting an education. Do you think we have them worried? It seems that not only Kerry Thompson, Jason Albert have nothing to do. The Albany County District Attorney, P. David Soares spends almost half of his day on this blog! Can the bastid!
A reader recently advised us that Kerry Thompson, administrative assistant to Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington, was promoted to be deputy chief. We couldn't believe what we were reading after all that was going on in the Coeymans police department involving Kerry Thompson, Gerald Deluca, Jason Albert and, of course, Gregory Darlington. We questioned how Coeymans would dare do something like that and the reader replied that she had read it on the Albany County Sheriff Department Facebook page. That was an irresistible bit of intelligence so we visited the Albany County Sheriff's Department Facebook page and almost fell off our chair.
A Little History Lesson: Scott Giroux was a Albany County Sheriff's Department captain at the same time Craig Apple was a lieutenant. Scott Giroux was police chief when there was a Ravena-Coeymans joint police department, and Giroux was brought in to clean up the law enforcement mess in Ravena-Coyemans and to merge the two dysfunctional police departments. Having done that and proved his mettal, Giroux then went on to accept a position with the Federal Bureau of Investitation (FBI). When cleaning up the Coeymans police department Giroux fired a number of decrepit officers, inluding Gerald "Dirty-Hands Deluca," but when Do-Do cop Gregory Darlington was elevated from useless sargeant to become Coeymans police chief, Darlington hired all the junko cops back, who Giroux fired during his cleanup. That's the situation we have now. Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple is a local boy, from the RCS area, and rumor is that there is no love lost between him and the Coeymans police department. That raises some sticky questions: (1) What's Apple doing with Kerry Thompson now? and (2) Now that Scott Giroux is with the FBI, why isn't he — or is he — keeping tabs on the goings on in the Coeymans p.d., maybe waiting for the right moment to pounce? Could that be the reason Apple is calling Thompson back into the Albany County Sheriff's Department with an "apparent" promotion. We say "apparent" because it might be the only way to get Thompson under control without excessive embarassment to the Sheriff's Department.
Has Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple Gone Apple Sauce in the Brain?
Can't Thompson get a uniform that fits?
Thompson being congratulated by Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple
Has Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple Gone Rotten?
Doesn't Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple Know What Thompson has been Doing in Coeymans?
Maybe Apple has forgotten that the position he holds as Albany County Sheriff is an elected position. Maybe he wants a very short career as an elected official. Maybe he's been spending too much time around the likes of Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares. Whatever it is, Apple has probably made the worst decision of his career by giving Kerry Thompson any semblance of credibility. Or is it really as dumb as it first appears? Maybe Craig is not as stupid as this makes him look. Maybe there's a strategy behind all of this to keep Thompson more closely under surveillance by putting him under Chief Deputy Courcelle, who can keep the mutt on a short leash?
Three Stooges or Monkey-in-the-Middle?
Are Apple and Courcelle Boxing Thompson Up to Keep Closer Tabs on Him?
And why's everybody smiling but Apple? What's up Craig? Having a bad day?
If Thompson is being assigned to this new position for any other reason than to keep closer tabs on his rogue activities at taxpayer expense, it certainly isn't because he's such a great cop or because he has any ethics. We know that from his performance in Coeymans. He sucks.
But what we don't understand is how Thompson, now employed at least part-time by the Coeymans police department as Coeymans police chief Darlington's "administrative assistant," is going to be able to give the Albany County Sheriff's Department its money's worth while doing the same for the taxpayers of the town of Coeymans. Seems like it's an impossibility from where we're sitting.
Thompson's performance in Coeymans has been far from stellar…
Thompson's performance in Coeymans has been far from stellar. Just count how many raids were botched up and how many search warrants were defective on his watch. And now he's supposed to assist Chief Deputy Courcelle to manage law enforcement in Albany County? Just like that moron P. David Soares seems to manage to screw up everything he gets his idiotic hands on. All we can say is that Albany County Law enforcement is in as very sorry state, indeed, if Thompson's going to manage in Albany like he's managed in Coeymans.
Coeymans police department has really come under fire for its mismanagement…All on Thompson's Watch
Perhaps it's gotten too hot in Coeymans with all the scandal surrounding his hire in the first place. That was a bad move by the Coeymans town board and appears even worse now that the Coeymans police department has really come under fire for its mismanagement, its violations of civil rights, its botched up raids, the many scandals surrounding its employment of law enforcement dregs like Ryan Johnson, Gerald Deluca, Danielle Crosier, the botched up investigations and claims of obstruction of justice, and the list goes on and on and on. All on Thompson's watch.
Moral Questions like his alleged toying around with Coeymans police department Barbie doll, Daniele Crosier
Conflicts of interest, like his marriage to Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington's sister, and moral questions like his alleged toying around with Coeymans police department Barbie doll, Daniele Crosier, certainly haven't helped the already very drab image of the Coeymans police department on his watch.
And speaking of conflicts of interest: Word on the street is that alleged Thompson squeeze, Daniele Crosier, was placed in her new FT position with the Coeymans police department on the conditioin that she pass an physical agility test (required by civil service). She took the test the other day and guess who administered/oversaw it — Yes! You guessed it! Kerry Thompson. Thompson is allegedly not certified or qualified to administer the test so it should not have been authorized. On top of that fact this is yet another blatant conflict of interest. And the big question is: Did she really pass the test?
All of that information that would get someone canned in a New-York-minute if it happened in private sector doesn't seem to faze Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple, though.
Kerry Thompson can't even seem to manage law enforcement when it comes to his own kids. We've reported on his one son's recent reckless driving on Route 143 and destruction of a mailbox and damage to another care and how that was all kept quiet by Thompson (His kid's a police dispatcher now in the Coeymans police department!). And we're still hot on the trail of his other son's escapades stealing and destroying candidates' campaign signs, a crime caught on video by at least two neighbors. But all that means nothing to Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple or Chief Deputy Courcelle.
Or is Thompson raiding the evidence room? He looks like a cocaine addict with a heroin habit!
Has anyone noticed how much weight Thompson has lost in the past couple of months? Is the alleged fun-on-the-farm with officer Crosier that hot? Or is Thompson raiding the evidence room? He looks like a cocaine addict with a heroin habit! Or is he just plain sick? Is his new assignment a sympathy assignment? Don't you think we taxpayers and public should some answers to these questions?
Whatever is the reason, we think it's SCANDALOUS that Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple is making Kerry Thompson look like a saint! If the Coeymans town supervisor and town board continue to pay Thompson to be Do-Do cop Gregory Darlington's office-boy-toy, then the entire Coeymans town board should be tarred, feathered, and shipped downriver on a leaky barge!
Now Kerry Thompson is going to help "manage law enforcement" in the Albany County Sheriff's Department. Are we the only one's who smell the stink?
We smell a couple of skunks, don't you?

Caribbean Jerk Off Championship…Am I reading this really?
We've Been Writing About Local Jerk-Off's for About a Year Now and Ravena-Coeymans and New Baltimore Never Cease Amazing us.
Among the Notable Jerk-Offs We've Paid Dubious homage to on this Blog include Mummy Mayor John "Black Mamba*" Bruno of Ravena, BoBo Cop Gerald "Dirty-Hands Jerry" Deluca, DoDo Cop, former-garbage-collector-now-Coeymans-police-chief, Gregory Darlington, the-let's-screw-Ravena-residents village board "trustees" Nancy Warner, Rocco Persico, William "Bill" Bailey, Martin "Marty" Case, the RCS Central School District teacher mafia or so-called board of eduction, and others. And let's not forget the village of Ravena's little plum, the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, paid for with Ravena tax dollars to provide Cathy Deluca with a place to play (thanks to Ravena "trustee" Nancy Warner and mayor John "Black Mamba" Bruno). Now we have to welcome and add, officially, that is, the editiorial staff of the so-called Ravena News Herald, to the Ravena-Coeymans-New Baltimore Jerk-Off Hall of Fame. And yes, then there's Albany County District Attorney, P. David Soares. The obvious J/0 champs.
* Do you know how Ravena mayor John Bruno got the nickname "Black Mamba?" If you do, let us know!
The Ravena News Herald and Donovan's Shady Harbor marina/restaurant and "Jerk Shack" achieved this dubious honor thanks to an attentive reader and a write-up that appeared in Section A3 of the August 8, 2013, edition of the Ravena News Herald. Here's the entire item:
The Ravena News Herald and Shady Harbor Marina (New Baltimore) Join Up to Show the World What A Bunch of Jerk-Offs We Have Here…Now In Print and Only in the News Herald! (News Herald, August 8, 2013, section A3)!!!
Well, this back water nest of incestuous corruption and public nastiness has managed to even trump renaming an entire community after a toxic sandwich (Remember the "Reubenville" shame? … Yes! New Baltimore and Coeymans have managed to sink to new depths by becoming the Jerk Off Championship capital.
Speaking of jerk-off champs, we just can't wait to start our new season of jerk-off champs with their rookies Peter Brown and Jason Hyslop as they join their corrupt special interest veteran jerk-off champs board president and scoff-rules James Latter with witch-on-a-stick teacher-union-voodoo doll Alice Whalen, teachers and teacher partners Edward "Teddy" Reville and Howard Engel as they bully their way through the budget giving it away to their cronies. Let's watch as Jim Latter gets his wife a principal's position…that's been in the making for a couple of years now.
And as for the Ravena village jerk-off champs, Martin "Marty" Case (also a teacher, part-time real estate salesman) and William "Bill" Bailey, who apparently intend to run for Coeymans town offices in an attempt to spread the infection of corruption and economic disaster to the entire town of Coeymans, while the Coeymans Police department infiltrates its ranks with friends and relatives of DoDo cop Gregory "Garbage Guy" Darlington and his confidential secretary Dawn LaMountain. We also hear that a Darlington-darling, a special friend of Darlington's, has been hand-picked by loser Tom Dolan as the democrat candidate for Coeymans town clerk. Get ready for Ravena-style corruption and special favors galore if that bunch gets in.
Anybody know anything about Dianne Challenger, Darlington's little friend?
Other Short Notes
Start thinking about signing the petition to get the referendum on the ballot to eliminate the Coeymans town police department and get professionals to take over law enforcement in Coeymans. We'll start providing information how to make that happen very soon, as soon as summer is behind us.
Hey! Black Mamba, Wanna join me at the "club" later?
Has anyone wondered why taxpaying residents of the village of Ravena–after shelling out more than $40,000 for used fitness equipment and another more than $105,000 of taxpayer money being allocated to fund the Ravena Health and Fitness Center have to pay to use the facilities they're already paying for? Do you know of any other health club where you get to pay TWICE to use the facilities? Only in Ravena and under the management of mummy-mayor John "Black Mambo" Bruno's gals, Nancy Warner and Cathy Deluca! Why don't Ravena taxpayers ask this question?
Cathy Deluca has gotten the entire village of Ravena into hot water again, as we've already reported. First Notice of Claim against the village of Ravena came when she abused a potential member and told him he was unwelcome. Bad move bad-mouth-Cathy! That's getting the village sued. Not enough? Well she also had the balls to then make a complaint with her friends in the Coeymans Police Department telling a heap of lies and getting them to investigate her lies on your dimes (ask Coeymans Police Officer Jason Albert about this when you see him.) That got another, a second Notice of Claim filed against the village of Ravena and Deluca, this time for criminally falsely reporting an incident and conspiracy with Deluca and her little minion Claude A. Wheeles conspiring to provide the false information to the Coeymans Police. As usual, the investigations got screwed up or fixed but that's not the end to it. The 50h hearings are scheduled for August 15, 2013, when the village's lawyer will try to "establish the facts" ín an asinine attempt to save the village's ass and Cathy Deluca's, too, in a pre-lawsuit hearing. Andrew S. Holland of the Albany law firm of Napierski, Vandenburgh, Napierski and O'Connor, has been assigned the case by the Village of Ravena's insurance company. Let the fireworks begin!!!
Speaking of botched up investigations: Anyone hear about the screwed up drug raid at Oakbrook Manor last week staged by the Coeymans Police Department on the wrong apartment. Seems Gregory Darlington, Ryan Johnson and Kerry Thompson—put the three of them together and you can't put a complete brain together for them to share—can't seem to read the black letters in the warrant to distinguish between an "F" and a "K". And were you wondering where Psycho-cop Ryan Johnson disappeared to? He's now misleadingly flashing a business card around that gives the incorrect impression he's a federal drug enforcement agent. He's not. He's only on a task force…obviously a task force that doesn't require its members to be able to recite the alphabet. (By the way, we have received reports that although the drug raid did find some evidence, it's likely the raid may come to nothing but a lawsuit but it's likely the evidence will be tossed because of the botched up raid.) Nice going Darlington, Ryan, Thompson! Just what we've learned to expect from you!
This just in: "Black Mamba" mayor John Bruno's hand-picked appointee, front-office lackey Annette Demitraszek, who sidelined Kris Bernacky as Ravena village clerk/treasurer is playing stupid games while attempting to avoid responding to New York State Freedom of Information requests. She first started her idiotic games by taking incredible amounts of time to respond to FOIL demands; then she tries to tell the requestor that the issues are very complex will require a great deal of time to process. Then she tries to use exceptions and exclusions to avoid producing but can't tell you what exlcusions she's talking about. Then it's the "village policy" that documents responding to a FOIL will be provided only to the requestor (that one's unique to Ravena). After trying everything she can to make it as difficult as possible to get production out of the village of Ravena, the latest one is "you haven't picked up the stuff that's been waiting so now you have to pay up front before we process any pending or future requests." How stupid does it get? How can Demitraszek tell in advance what a request is going to cost before processing the request? Has the village of Ravena gone completely senile? Is dementia contagious now? We've known for years that the Ravena water supply is tainted but are the effects just now showing? Or is the effects of the heavy metal pollution from the Lafarge plant that we're witnessing? We all know that mayor John "Black Mamba" Bruno would never appoint someone "smarter" than he is to any position in the village government but really, how has he found someone more demented than he is? This is really getting scary!
It seems that the apparently permanent fixture at the Committee on Open Government, Robert J. Freeman, is a bit senile himself. He seems to be falling for the stories Demitraszek is feeding him and is so stupid he swallows it all and gives "opinions" over the phone. Then those crackpots in Ravena town hall puke it back up putting their own spin on it. Either Freeman's corrupt or just plain stupid to be falling for their crapola. We have been informed that this will likely become another lawsuit against the Village of Ravena. How long will their insurance company keep sending them attorneys? How much longer are Ravena taxpayers going to put up with this?
Hey! News Herald, Ravena, Coeymans, New Baltimore: What's next, the Great Chicken Choke Championship?

Criminals and Perps in Local Government…UPDATE!
If We Didn't Make Our Inquiries and Get the Facts
You'd Probably Never Know!
But It Is Obvious that We have the Foxes Guarding the Chickens but Now the Foxes are Under Investigation.
The Ravena News Herald, once a community news publication, has turned into a drugged up feel-good rag that doesn't have the balls to report on anything less than the absolutely positive. Why should it? It's the "official newspaper" of the village of Ravena which means that John T. Bruno, Nancy Biscone-Warner, and Michael J. Biscone own them. Besides, the most of the News Herald is copied from the Greene County News and a lot of what we get to read isn't even about this community, anyway. They're really happy that they can fill up eight or so pages with "official notices", though, because that's where the money is.
So, dear readers, be grateful that at least some from the community have the guts to collect the real news and publish it in this form. It's a community service, one of the very few you're likey ever to get in the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk district.
So here's what we have for you today:
The Village of Ravena, Mayor John T. Bruno, Nancy Biscone-Warner, Cathy Deluca and the Ravena Health and Fitness Center
Citzen v. Village of Ravena, Cathy Deluca, et al.
The Ravena Health and Fitness Center has been the subject of several articles on this blog. The most recent one features Cathy Deluca asserting her "ownership" of the taxpayer paid municipal activity by telling a local resident he was not welcome at the public facility and telling him to leave. After having abused the resident and having violated his civil rights, Deluca attempted to file a criminal charge against the resident by the only way she knows: lies. So the village of Ravena never learns from its mistakes goes the extra mile and is footing the bill…OOPS! Now you're footing the bill, Ravena taxpayers, to fund the Cathy Deluca's defense! The Village of Ravena is now depending on its insurance carrier, Trident Insurance, to come to its rescue in the Cathy Deluca misconduct case. The village insurance company has hired Napierski, VanDenburgh, Napierski & O'Connor, an Albany law firm, who regularly defend municipalities in various claims involving allegations of civil rights violations, premises liability and labor law, to handle the case. Attorney Andrew S. Holland is the attorney handling the case.
The § 50h hearing will be scheduled soon and there'll be some surprises popped on ol' Cathy D. and her minions. There'll be fireworks to be sure.
It's still a mystery how the village of Ravena could spend $40,000 of taxpayer money to buy the used fitness equipment and to create the fitness center which, by the way pays no rent to the village–but you'll recall the village was charging the RCS Community library a hefty rent and then raised it about $600 a month (you, Ravena taxpayers, paid). And then mayor Bruno and Nancy Biscone-Warner went ahead and put the fitness center in the village budget, allocating $115,500 to fund it.
It gets even stickier: We've found out that on April 5, 2013, mayor John T. Bruno applied to the Albany County Civil Service Department for the creation of a new job title, "Fitness Center Director". We all know that the position was created back in late 2012 for Cathy Deluca, and at the April 2, 2013, village of Ravena Organizational Meeting, Nancy Warner moved to "appoint" Cathy Deluca to the position of Fitness Center Director and the village board went ahead and appointed her. The situations starts to get more sinister when we examine mayor Bruno's application, which was approved on about May 10, 2013. The application is rife with ambiguities, inaccuracies, deficiencies. It is possible (likely) that the village of Ravena did not honestly produce all the documents requested and that some of the documents accompanying the application and substantiating the information were not provided to us. But that's no big problem to find out. But if the village of Ravena did not provide the required documentation substantiating their statements and misrepresened either by commission or omission with the intent to mislead the Albany County Civil Service Department, then there is a big problem…for mayor Bruno and the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, and Cathy Deluca and Nancy Warner.
Our readers may be interested in the fact that the job title of Fitness Center Director is "exempt" and non-competitive, despite the fact that most positions of that kind require examination and competition. The interesting fact is that it appears from the documents we have received that the application did not include the required explanations and justifications for the program, for the position, and why it should be exempt. We'll be curious how and why the Albany County Civil Service Department could approve such a deficient application. C orruption, conspiracy? What do you think?
If you'd like more information on the Civil Service job title classifications, including those of the Albany County Civil Service Department click on this link: Civil Service Overview You decide whether the job title of Fitness Center Director should be "exempt" or "competitive". You can then decide whether the job should have been open for applications instead of appointing the director, Cathy Deluca, with no one else being considered.
It may be a village project and it may be on public property but it's obvious everyone is not welcome; Cathy Deluca makes the decision whether you're welcome or not and when her decision blows up in her face, the village of Ravena (that is, Ravena taxpayers) pays her legal defense and attorney fees. How do they do it?
Cathy D. is Not the Only Deluca on the Hot Seat These Days. Hubby Gerald "Dirty Hands Jerry Deluca" is Feeling the Heat, Too!
Jerry Deluca and the Coeymans Police Department
Gerald "Dirty-Hands Jerry" Deluca, Cathy Deluca's chubby hubby, has a long history of suspicious activities ranging from his questionable claims of political contacts in Albany (such as the Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State Assembly, an automotive recycling interest group, ARANY, and others), his retaliatory obstruction of police investigations, his questionable influence peddling in the Albany County District Attorney's office—no doubt assisted by Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington's wife, who is P. David Soares' secretary and Ravena village justice Harold "Hal" Warner's daugher, who is an attorney there (Nancy Biscone-Warner is the Ravena village trustee who fought hard for the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, spearheaded the center's budget, and put Cathy Deluca in the director's slot. Smell any corruption and conspiracy yet?
Deluca again acted up real badly with RCS CSD teacher and NYSUT union rep Matthew J. "Matt the Mutt" Miller, at the May 14, 2013, RCS CSD board of education meeting, where Deluca and Miller were involved in such disorderly conduct that RCS CSD superintendent Alan McCartney told them to leave the premises. They didn't leave but waited outside to menace and harass a woman speaker, whom they had already abused while she was addressing the board!
Deluca was apparently off-duty when he and Miller engaged in their criminal conduct but that's no excuse. They are both public employees and occupy highly visible positions paid by the public. They're held to a higher standard than Joe Average. But they've been doing this sort of thing for so long they apparently think they can get away with it forever. Wrong again, Jerry!
What do you think bully-BoBo-cop Deluca would have done under the same circumstances if it were you or I making the ruckus and violating a resident's rights? Old Rolly-Polly would pull out his badge, show his service revolver and cuff ya! Anybody think he wouldn't? So that's equal protection under the law?
OK. The complaint has been filed. Numerous law enforcement agencies and NY state agencies have been copied with the correspondence. But…Are we seeing things? The Coeymans Police Department is supposed to be investigating one of its own on criminal charges but Deluca's still lurking around the department, still on duty, still…well wouldn't it be more appropriate if while the investigation is on Deluca would be put on leave? Well, it looks like being chief Darlington's darling has its benefits but it certainly puts Darlington in a sticky position. How's the investigation going, chief Darlington? Or is that a state secret?
Matt Miller is Failing
According to unconfirmed reports from a reliable source it looks like outside investigators are finally taking an interest in the goings on in Ravena-Coeymans and there is allegedly special interest in Guess who? You got it! Our very own Bo-Bo cop, Dirty-Hands Jerry. Seem's a particular law enforcement agency has been watching and is asking some pretty irksome questions at the Coeymans Police Department. But you didn't hear that from us.
Matthew J. Miller a.k.a. "Matt-the-Mutt" isn't off the hook, either. He's been put on the carpet several times already and his corruption and conspiracy file is getting pretty damned thick. His performance alongside Deluca on May 14th didn't endear him to the RCS CSD district offices, either. Miller is a blow-hard big mouth who apparently thinks that because he's NYSUT's (New York State United Teachers) union's local rep that he's untouchable. Maybe in terms of school administration he may be a hard nut to crack but he's not going to get much sympathy when he's standing before the great equalizer—a court of law, criminal law. Miller's despicable public conduct and his disrespect of women will be his downfall. Say bye to teaching license. Bye to pension. Hello Big Bubba! You get "bottom bunk" Matty.
We have unconfirmed information from reliable sources that some departments at the New York State Education Department is watching Miller pretty closely. Seems they may be building a case against him. So watch his falling star…Is the end near?
Ravena-Coeymans' Own Three Stooges
Jerry Deluca, Cathy Deluca, Matt Miller
Stick around for the next article. You'll get a whirlwind tour of the Ravena village board at work and the story behind the Ravena Health and Fitness Center directly from the Ravena village board minutes. Learn how they hoodwinked the Albany County Civil Service people into creating a new job title, Fitness Center Director, for Cathy Deluca. But she has no qualifications…or does she? We're still waiting for the village of Ravena to disclose just what qualifies her to be director. You'll find it all here, as usual, direct from the sources to you!
We'll also get the ball rolling on how Ravena-Coeymans is going to hell in a handbasket made in Taiwan. How? Think of it this way: Laverne "Larry" Conrad, Coeymans building inspector and code enforcement officer has his eye on mayor John T. Bruno's office. Think he has a chance? Well, on the other side of the counterfeit coin there's Martin "Marty" Case—you know the teacher who allegedly likes to chaperone and party at the same time and who sells real estate with Josie Bruno (and just about everyone else on the Ravena village board) at Prudential Real Estate. Case wants Coeymans supervisor Stephen Flach's job. Think he has a chance?
We'd better start talking real fast because with mayor Bruno's and Michael Biscone's record on curtailing civil rights, and and ignorance of what she is and where she is, Biscone's liable to be writing another decree for Bruno suppressing free speech like he did in 2009 when he tried to put the kabosh on open government. (See our article on this blog.)
Then there's Michael J. Biscone, on-again-off-again village of Ravena attorney doing on-again-off-again work for the town of Coeymans but Ravena can't find any of the financial records that show how much Biscone was raking in while apparently working all sides of the fence. Ever wonder why Ravena can never find its financial records? Well, we thought the Office of the New York State Comptroller and the Office of the Attorney General might find some of this a bit interesting, especially in view of recent audits. Stay tuned for upcoming reports.
And then there's Gregory Teresi who resigns one day and is hired back on as "village court criminal attorney." We know he's a criminal but village court is no place for him. He should be appearing in front of daddy, Joe Teresi, New York State supreme court.
