Meals on Wheels of Greater Newburgh founder, Frederica Warner died last Tuesday at the age of 101. (Hudson Valley Press File/Chuck Stewart, Jr.) By Hudson Valley Press
NEWBURGH – The founder and long-time executive director of Meals on Wheels of Greater Newburgh, Frederica Warner, died on Tuesday, April 9. She was 101 years old.
Warner founded the program that brought meals to residents who could not leave their homes because of illness of frailty in 1972.
She was a life-long resident of Newburgh.
Warner was “an institution, an inspiration and a wonderful mother,” said Carole McDermott, the current executive director of the program, who knew her since McDermott was six years old and Warner taught her how to cook hotdogs.
McDermott noted “you couldn’t say ‘no’ to Frederica.”“She got me involved in Meals on Wheels after I retired from banking. I went from doing international trade at banks to what I call meat and potatoes at Meals on Wheels,” she said. “Frederica had that way with people. She could get people enthused, get them involved, get them committed.”
“Frederica was well respected, even revered, by those she worked with, those she helped and all whose lives she touched,” said Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus.
Warner was the only child of E. Lafayette Hunter and Sarah Frint Hunter and was a descendant of freed slaves who helped organize the Underground Railroad and the Republican Party in the years preceding the Civil War.
At the age of ten, she became a member of Girl Scout Troop 7, sponsored by the AME Zion Church in Newburgh. The Scouts emphasized helping others and becoming active members of the community – goals which Frederica embraced wholeheartedly for the rest of her life.
Frederica has become a living legend in Orange County for her numerous volunteer contributions. She has been an active member of, and honored by, many organizations including the Salvation Army of Newburgh, Orange County Women of Achievement, Newburgh YWCA, Human Rights Commission of Orange County, Habitat for Humanity, Orange Area United Fund, Liberty Street Day Care Center, McQuade Foundation, Amos & Sarah Holden Home, Town of Newburgh Republican Committee, New York State Church Women United, Church Women United to the United Nations, Orange County Professional Advisory Committee, Zonta International, Business & Professional Women’s Club, and Magenta Mammas Red Hatters.
She was married for sixty-five years to the late Loren Warner, her soulmate and love of her life. Their daughter and only child, Lady Maxine Warner Burton, is the wife of Sir Eric Burton, former Member of Parliament of the Republic of Antigua-Barbuda in the West Indies. Frederica is the grandmother of seven, great-grandmother of twenty-three and great-great-grandmother of ten.
Visitation for family and friends will be held from Noon to 5 pm on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at Calvary Presbyterian Church, corner of South Street and Grand Street in Newburgh.
Funeral Service will be their the following day at 10 am.

I've long been intrigued by this small trick building on Fulton Mall, largely because of its unusual, curbed cornice, which appears to be original. I've not been able to find out anything about its past life. Anyone out there known anything?

O
New York “Grand Central Circuit” Route Details
|
|
comments (0)
|
New York’s “Grand Central Circuit” is a butt-kicker, plain and simple. It has more elevation gain per kilometer than any other course in New York City, and if that’s not enough, the short “recovery portion” of the loop takes you over the sprint section. Ouch!
Named after Grand Central Station, the loop keeps you on the southern end of Central park, beginning and ending at the sprint banner. It covers a mix of Central Park’s ground-level roads and the elevated roads including the KOM and sprint. Beginning at the sprint banner, you are quickly taken onto the reverse KOM (1.14km, 5.9% grade) before descending down onto ground level for a go at the sprint in the downhill direction. Then it’s back up the KOM again for the next lap!
With riders turning in sub-12 minute times on a loop with 137m of climbing, you can expect to get a lot of elevation packed into your ride on this route.
Route details:
Distance: 6.8km (4.2 miles)
Elevation Gain: 137m (452′)

1-floor expansion planned for Avenue A building that housed the Sidewalk

The new owner of 96-98 Avenue A has filed plans with the city for a one-floor extension at the building that previously housed Sidewalk Bar and Restaurant.
Plans were filed with the Department of Buildings (H/T to the tipster!) back on Friday for the expansion, which will see the building at Sixth Street go from four to five floors.
Despite the expansion, the taller No. 96-98 would have 10 residential units instead of the current 11. The filing also shows that there are plans for a roof deck.
As we've been reporting, a new bar-restaurant is in the works for the ground floor. (Details are scarce.) The Sidewalk, with a long-standing open-mic night, closed in February after 32-plus years in business.
Workers have gutted the former Sidewalk. Here's a look inside the space the other day...
[Reader-submitted photo]
Penn South Capital closed the deal for 96-98 Avenue A for $9.6 million back in March. The listing for the property had stated that the floor area ratio allowed for one more floor to be added to the building.
Pini Milstein was the principal owner of the building as well as the operator of the Sidewalk. Parag Sawhney, founder of Penn South, told Patch in early April that Milstein decided to retire.
As for the new landlord's plans for the building (aside from the extra floor): "We have a new restaurant tenant that will keep the open mic tradition alive. We love the East Village and believe in preserving what make its so special."

As you likely heard by now, SantaCon 2018 is tomorrow (Saturday).
The woo-hooery starts tomorrow (still Saturday) at 10 a.m. at Plaza 33, 33rd Street and Seventh Avenue.
From there, the Santas will fan out across Midtown, Murray Hell, Midtown East, et al. Once again, the East Village will serve as a host planet for the harvesting. There are 15-plus participating bars — list here. (The 13th Step/The Step isn't on the list, though they usually have one of the longest lines of people in Santa hats.)
Solas on Ninth Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue and The VNYL on Third Avenue between 12th Street and 13th Street are designated "Special Santa Venues," which require a $12 donation. As Gothamist noted, "they are larger and offer additional hellish delights such as undoubtedly terrible DJ, holiday decorations, 'sexy' bar games, rooftops, cash prizes, etc."
Meanwhile, some thoughts via Twitter... including a little campaigning for a mayoral run in 2021...
F O L K S we outlawed salt, soda and straws in this great city but santacon is still legal?? unbelievable
