08/16/07 - Port Chester's Sargent Suppa said, "We Used To Carry Nickels And Dimes In Our Pockets To Call Headquarters If There was An Emergency.".'


HEADLINE:




STORY:


Sgt. John Suppa may not win many foot races, but says he's more than healthy enough to keep up with his job as the oldest police officer in Westchester County.


Unfortunately for him and other officers who look up to him, he'll no longer get that chance. Due to the state's mandatory age restrictions for police, Suppa's being forced to retire as he approaches his 70th birthday.


"I would definitely go beyond 70, but I've got to go by what the law says," said Suppa, a traffic sergeant whose last day on the job is tomorrow. He turns 70 on Sept. 14.


Suppa, a former construction worker, joined the Port Chester Police Department in January 1965 even though it meant a drop in pay. This was at a time Lyndon Johnson was president and astronauts had yet to reach the moon.


"I was born and raised in Port Chester and thought I could make a difference in crime," explained Suppa, who was one of several members of his family to serve. One of Suppa's sons reported to him when he was on the force before retiring on disability. His cousin, meanwhile, is a detective........


......A low-key guy, Suppa has warned fellow officers not to throw him any sort of retirement party.


The chief laughed when asked whether a party was planned, saying: "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise."

08/16/07 - Mr. Fortuna Got Gas In Port Chester, Because He Was On Empty. The Price Made Him Sick, Because It Was 20 Cents Higher Than In New Rochelle.

HEADLINE:


STORY:

The rise in gasoline prices that took place earlier this summer may be paying off for drivers this month, a government report said yesterday.

The average price of regular unleaded gasoline dropped 6.7 cents to $2.771 last week and was 22.9 cents lower than last year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in a weekly report.......
......Joe Fortuna of New Rochelle, who paid $3.039 a gallon to fill his Acura sport utility vehicle at an Exxon station on Main Street in his hometown, said: "Gas is too high anyways. It's ridiculous."

He said he tries not to use his air conditioner if he doesn't have to. He said he also tries to take his foot off the gas pedal and coast for stretches when he's driving on the highway.

Fortuna said he was in Port Chester recently, where gas prices are higher than in New Rochelle. He stopped to get gas because he was on empty.

"I had to fill up 20 cents higher," he said. "It made me sick."......
