10/10/11 Once Again Port Chester Learns That Sam Terenzi And Bart Didden Don't Know Their Asses From Holes In The Ground

2011-10-10T15:36:00.005-04:00

FORGET ABOUT THE WESTMORE NEWS

YOU WON'T READ THIS IN THE PORT CHESTER WESTMORE NEWS, BECAUSE THE ABLE FAMILY ALSO GOT BIG BUCKS FROM RYE TOWN SUPERVISOR JOE CARVIN ....

Sam Terenzi Simply Could Not Be More Hopelessly Wrong If He Tried

PHOTO: Clueless Town Of Rye Accountant And Port Chester Trustee Saverio “Sam” Terenzi

Thanks A Million Sam And Bart ....

Town of Rye accountant Sam Terenzi and infamous village bigot Bart Didden's short-lived bid to appeal the Port Chester voting rights case, which was undertaken despite a homeowner's outcry not waste any more tax dollars, has added yet another $75,000 in legal bills to the million-dollar cost of fighting the Justice Department's 2006 lawsuit.

The clueless Sam Terenzi led a divided village Board of Trustees to hire the law firm of his boss' brother in February to appeal the 2008 decision that Port Chester violated of the Voting Rights Act.

Thank's to Bart Didden's two page bigoted flyer, a judge had found the old system — at-large voting for two trustees per year — prevented the Hispanic minority from electing their preferred candidates to the board.

A federal judge warned loudmouth Sam Terenzi and the rest of the village board in April that the Port Chester had no right to appeal its own agreement, and in August, the U.S. Court of Appeals agreed.

Town of Rye accountant Sam Terenzi pushe the Port Chester board to hire Jones Day attorney Michael Carvin, who is the brother of Joseph Carvin, supervisor of the enveloping Town of Rye.

"It was stupid to do," said Mayor Dennis Pilla, who opposed the appeal. "I could have paved six streets with the money they wasted on the appeal."

"That's the system," said Sam Terenzi, who has his snout in multiple public troughs for decades

Thanks to former Port Chester Mayor Gerald Logan about $1.1 million has already been paid to the law firm of Rye City Republican City Chairman Anthony Piscionere since the Justice Department threatened a lawsuit in 2006.

Now an additional legal bill in the thousands has been submitted by Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin's brother for a frivolous patronage lawsuit that Port Chester homeowners are going to have to pay.

Rye Town Supervisor Carvin brother's fee was $742.50 an hour.

Rye Town accountant Sam Terenzi and his cronies on the board had authorized up to $225,000 for Michael Carvin to waste on the make work appeal.

"We think they had a very strong argument, and that the appeal was proper," said a delusional Michael Carvin.

About $118,000 was paid to implement the new voting system, that we got because of Bart Didden's two page racist flyer, that he says was edited by ex-Port Chester School Board of Education President Dominic Bencivenga and ex-Port Chester Trustee John Crane.

Ironically, most of the clueless idiots, like extremist TEA Party lunatic Bart Didden who voted in favor of the appeal gained office under the system that he wanted to overturn.

The next trustee election is 2013, coinciding with a mayoral election. Trustees serve three-year terms, and the mayor serves two years.

Finally, it appears that Sam Terenzi and Bart Didden are starting to realize how uninformed and costly their crazy rhetoric has been to Port Chester homeowners.

"There does not appear to be the appetite to take this any further," Mayor Pilla said.

A federal judge has told Republican Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin's brother that he has no right to appeal the Justice Department's successful voting rights lawsuit against Port Chester — but apparently, that won't stop Micheal Carvin from trying.

A clueless Michael Carvin seems to be unaware that the Village of Port Chester signed a consent decree barring the old system and ushering in a new, cumulative-voting method.

Judge Gardephe wrote that Port Chester has no basis to appeal because of its own action....

Board Of Trustee Meeting Notes 03/22/07

The Things You Don't See On Cable TV Meeting Telecasts #1

Loud Meltdown In Executive Session Is Overheard In The Hallways As

Real Estate Lawyer And Republican Chairman Anthony

Pissonere Goes Nuts Over Port Chester Board Of Trustee's Desire

To Get Advise From An Independent Expert

Date Line (Port Chester) --- A public board meeting was opened at 5:30 pm and then an
closed executive session was immediately called to discuss litigation.

Members of the public and press were then required to wait in the hallway at 350 Main Street.

Goldie Soloman even took a chair to the hallway to sit comfortably in the hallway.

As usual the public slowly started to talk and gather out in the hallways, when all of a
sudden a loud voice started to boom out in the hallway. Soon persons were saying that
the loud voice belonged to Rye City Republican Chairman Anthony Pisionere.

No One In The Executive Session Could Be Heard Except For Pisinere.

It sounded like Rye City Republican Chairman Pisonere was calling the Board, "Stupid".

Yes our Half A Million Dollar Patronage Lawyer, Anthony Pisionere was yelling at the
Port Chester Board Of Trustees and saying they were, "Stupid".

No wonder Port Chester lost on Pisonere's Half A Million Dollar Hearing,

We had a lawyer with no professional decorum or self-control.

Rye City Republican Chairman Anthony Pisionere's melt down continued with
complaints that his legal performance was discussed during the election.

This real estate lawyer from Rye goes to court and gets outclassed and costs the village
half a million dollars for losing one hearing and then he thinks that the taxpayers of Port
Chester should not discuss his courtroom failures.

Port Chester taxpayers in the hallway were laughing and joking about Pisionere' s
meltdown. People were calling Pisonere a "Legal Loser' and a "Patronage Pig."

The most insightful comment was that, "It's not pretty when a political insider starts
to have his patronage pork cut off."

Then Rye City Republican Chairman Anthony Pisionere went nuts when the board
appeared to suggest that they needed the help of an independent expert to advise them
about his performance, the Department Of Justice and other issues about the lawsuit.

No one could hear any board members, just the angry and nasty hollering of the out of
control Pisionere.

Pisionere just doesn't seem to perform well while under pressure. Why did The Republican's choose this Rye Real Estate lawyer for this high stakes Federal voting rights lawsuit.

Mayor Logan must have been too afraid of the Rye City Republican Chairman, because
he made no effort to control his unprofessional and embarrassing outbursts.

Finally after 7 pm Goldie Solomon interrupted the meeting and said that it was time to
wrap up the meeting with Pisconere, because the people of Port Chester were getting
tired of waiting and some citizens were leaving in disgust.

They made Goldie leave the meeting room and then locked the door as Rye City
Republican Chairman Anthony Pisionere went on and on for another 30 or 40 minutes.

It looks like the Rye City Republican Chairman Anthony Piscionere scared the hell out of
Mayor Logan and the other Republicans, because they quickly came out of executive session and voted 5 to 2 to table any talk of hiring an independent expert to advise the Port Chester Board Of Trustees.

Only Trustees Dennis Pilla And Daniel Brakewood voted to hire an indepent expert.

Why Are The Republican's Afraid Of Advice From An Independent Expert?

Could It Be That Independent Experts Get In The Way Of Patronage?

Port Chester Roundup Exclusive:

Bart "The Bigot" Didden Is Baaaaaaaack........

New Rye Town Republican Financial Disclosure Shows That Joe Carvin Is Knowingly Accepting Dirty Money From Bart "The Bigot" Didden.

STORY:
Once again Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin
has shown his total lack of good judgement.

The last Rye Town Republican Financial Disclosure Report shows that the CarvinCampaign is taking Bart “The Bigot” Didden’s dirty money.

The word around Port Chester is that Bart "The Bigot" Didden has gained unusually free access to the top levels of the Carvin Campaign, due to his close friend ex- Port Chester Republican Chairman Janus "I Love A Racially Charged Campaign" Richards.

Bart "The Bigot" Didden is also gaining access to the Carvin campaign due to the fact thatDidden is the Chief Pollster and a part-time columnist to the hopelessly biased rag known as the Westmore News.

Richard Abel, the publisher of the hopelessly biased rag known as the WestmoreNews has repeatedly defended Bart “The Bigot” Didden by saying, “It’s not against the law to be a bigot.”

Port Chester Mayor Pilla and various Port Chester trustees have been shocked at the Westmorenews publisher’s shocking remarks.

When Port Chester Deputy Mayor Dominick Cicatelli and Trustee DanBrakewoodboth went on cable TV and called for Bart “The Bigot” Diiden’s resignation from the Port Chester Planning Board Guess What Happened?

Westmore News Publisher Richard Abel made it clear that his newspaper would not look favorably on having it’s chief pollster and part-time columnist sent to the Port Chester Ethic’s Board for his two page racist flier.

As of October 29, 2007, neither the Westmore News founder, publisher or editor has condemned their part-time columnist’s racist flier that attacked Port Chester Hispanics in general and Port Chester Hispanic Activist Blanca Lopez specifically.

Bearnie, Richard And Janann Abel Think It Is OK To Give A Forum At
The Westmore News To Port Chester's Infamous Racist

The Republican’s Are Losing Election After Election, Because They Can’t Resist Bart “The Bigot” Didden’s Dirty Money.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

A Port Chester Roundup News probe has found that Bart "The Bigot" Didden has given more money and support to Joe Carvin than the combined political contributions of....

Linda Turtino

Dominick Cicatelli

Micheal O'Connor

Fred Giofree

Vallerie Nanni

Alan Geist

Antionette Federici

And

Arthur Buckle.

Bart Didden is buying his way into the Carvin Administration by contributing more than eight Longtime Republican Party Insiders combined.

THE RYE BROOK HEDGE FUND MILLIONAIRE JOE “THE HARVARD EDUCATED FOOL” CARVIN IS SO GREEDY HE TAKES DIRTY MONEY FROM

BART “THE BIGOT” DIDDEN.

Instead Of Taking Bart “The Bigot” Didden’s Dirty Money Joe Carvin should be demanding that Didden apologize to all of the Hispanics of Port Chester and to Blanca Lopez in general for the racist two page flier.

Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova publicly called for Bart “The Bigot” Didden to apologize for the racist flyer after ex-Port Chester Chairman Janus “I Love A Racially Charged Campaign” Richards stepped down to be aCarvinconfidant and advisor.

JOE CARVIN SHOULD RETURN BART “THE BIGOT” DIDDEN”S MONEY AND DEMAND THAT HE APOLOGIZE FOR THE TWO PAGE RACIST FLIER THAT ATTACKED THE HISPANICS OF PORT CHESTER AND VICIOUSLY SINGLED OUT BLANCA LOPEZ.

JOE “THE HARVARD EDUCATED FOOL” CARVIN LACKS THE
COMMON SENSE TO BE A LEADER OF ALL THE RESIDENTS OF RYE TOWN.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

SHAME ON JOE CARVIN

AND SHAME ON RYE BROOK REPUBLICAN”S DAVID GELFARB AND ROBERTNIORASFOR NOT HAVING THE GUTS TO STAND UP TO JOE CARVIN AND RACISTS LIKE BART “THE BIGOT” DIDDEN.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

JUST REMEMBER THAT EVERY TIME YOU SEE A JOE CARVIN SIGN JUST REMEMBER BART “THE BIGOT” DIDDEN HELPED PAY FOR IT.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

So as long as Joe Carvin sticks up and keeps money form the infamous Port Chester racist known as Bart "The Bigot" Didden this reporter will be in total opposition to the heartless Rye Town Supervisor.

JOE IT IS TIME TO GIVE BART DIDDEN"S MONEY BACK !!!!

What Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin And His Buddy Bart "The Bigot" Didden Fail To Understand Is That Rye Brook Roundup Is Lean Mean Truth Tellin Machine That Hates Racism.....

11/05/11 Rye Town Accountant And Conservative Party Interloper Sleazy Sam Terenzi Once Again Gets His Fat Head Handed To Him In Court

2011-10-05T21:02:00.000-04:00

“They said stuff that wasn’t true. “Mr. Terenzi is supposed to be an accountant and apparently doesn’t know how to read a financial report.” - Rye Town Conservative Party Attorney, Alan Goldston

Gene Branca: It’s a frivolous lawsuit with no merit designed to ruin my credibility for political reasons. Mr. Terenzi has no alternative but to attack me personally now because that’s the only way he can win elections

Saverio “Sam” Terenzi, a Port Chester village trustee and Town of Rye accountant is once again trying to steal control of the Rye Town Conservative Party,

Loudmouth Sam Terenzi is once again trying to throw his weight around by filing a lawsuit - that is funded by out of town intrests - against Rye Town Conservative Chairman Gene Branca and the Friends of Rye Town Conservative Party.

The lawsuit was drawn up and filed on Terenzi's behalf by Westchester County political insider and attorney Guy T. Parisi from the city of Rye.

Out of town political partisan Guy Parisi writes in the lawsuit,“Gene Branca held himself out as Conservative Party Chairman of the Town of Rye and petitioner Hugh Fox, chairman of the Westchester County Conservative Committee, has directed Branca to cease and desist from holding himself out as the Conservative Party Chairman of the Town of Rye and turn over to petitioner Terenzi all financial records, bank accounts and records, filings with the board of elections, minutes of all meetings and any other documents pertaining to the Rye Town Conservative Committee."

The knuckle dragging Gavone Sam Terenzi has tried to get Joseph Rossini, chairman of the Westchester County Conservative Committee to get all the funds held by the Friends of the Rye Town Conservative Committee and hand the money over to himself.

On Aug. 12, Westchester County political insider and attorney Guy T. Parisi got Mary H. Smith, State Supreme Court Duty Judge in place of Hon. Sam D. Walker - who is hearing the case - to freeze the funds in the Rye Town Conservative Party account and Gene Branca was barred from holding himself out as the Rye Town Conservative Party chairman.

After oral arguments were postponed a month the case was in court yesterday and today when the Brancas’ attorney, Alan Goldston, argued to have Guy Parisi removed as the petitioners’ lawyer because, he argued, he had previously given Gene Branca advice on forming the Friends of the Rye Town Conservative Party PAC.

In the afternoon of the second day, after doing some legal research during lunch, Hon. Sam D. Walker through out most of Guy Parisi's case and ordered that,“Temporary restraints are gone effective immediately. Branca can say what he wants and can do what he wants with the money.”

That part of the case was considered important because it is election season.

Basically, Hugh Fox, Guy Parisi and Sleazy Sam Terenzi's intent was to tie up the Rye Town Conservative Gene Branca's money during the election season in hopes of gaining control of the local party organization.

The judge said he would decide the question of disqualification of Parisi,but since the urgent part of the case is now gone, he can take a while to decide that. He invited both sides to submit legal methods by Oct. 12.

Rye Town Conservative Party Attorney, Alan Goldston said,"There is no place in this particular lawsuit for anything other than the assertion that we’re supposed to file some sort of report. The petition incorrectly states we owe reports from years ago. When the judge gets to the question of reports, he won’t be interested in anything other than this year."

Gene Branca said,“The restraining orders were frivolous. I’m planning to sue Mr. Terenzi and Mr. Fox civilly for being libeled and incorrect statements they made in the Journal News.

Rye Town Conservative Party traitor Sam Terenzi eventually brought out the truth by telling town residents, that Gene Branca got into an altercation with Hugh Fox, chairman of the Westchester County Conservative Committee and Fox doesn’t take anything lightly. Fox is the guy who ran with it."

Now the flip flopping knuckle Dragging Gavone Sam Terenzi says,"I hope the people in town who keep giving Gene Branca money keep giving him money.”

UPDATE:

10/10/11 Once Again Port Chester Learns That Sam Terenzi And Bart Didden Don't Know Their Asses From Holes In The Ground

07/20/11 Rye Town Supervisor Joesph Carvin Reported On His Continued And Substantial Losses At Rye Town Park (Updated)

2011-07-20T18:00:00.001-04:00

Photo: Party Hardy - Rye Town Supervisor Joseph Edward Carvin Is Too Busy Hanging Out At The Ritz Carlton Hotel In White Plains, Instead Of Fixing The Problems That Are Causing Deficits At Rye Town Park / Oakland Beach.

Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin will chaired a meeting of the Rye Town Park Commission last night to discuss how the Carvin administration will deal with another year of mounting losses at Oakland beach, as well as, the latest expensive Carvin RFP (request for proposal) on automated parking and beach access system.

Many Port Chester, Rye Brook, Rye City and Rye Neck taxpayers say that Mr. Carvin's obligations at Altima Partners has prevented the Rye Town Supervisor to properly manage Oakland beach. Last property owners had to make up an unnecessary loss.

However, some park commission members have said that Supervisor Joe Carvin has put in controls that may prevent or limit the deficit. This is very critical in 2011, because Supervisor Carvin promised that there would be a surplus at Rye Town Park, before his term was up this year.

Commission members have said to prevent a deficit this year the Rye Town budgeted expenses may be cut from $980,000 to $950,000 mainly by cutting employee hours. Security and life guard hours would not be cut.

It is rumored that pre-season park income was almost non-existent for some reason and was about $20,000 less than last year. Park employees say that the beach only made about $1,200 this year on July 3rd compared to $45,000 last year.

Meanwhile, the Friends of Crawford Park will focused on ways to beautify the other Rye Brook park that Mr. Carvin has ignored. The Friends of Crawford Park met last night at Crawford Park mansion, 122 North Ridge St., Rye Brook.

Conservative, Democratic, Independent And Republican Voters Are Starting To Say That The Town Of Rye And It's Parks Are Suffering, Because The Joe "AWOL" Carvin Is Too Often Missing And Can't Be Found When Critical Decisions Must Be Made;

07/20/11 Port Chester brothers get 'big' break with bank musical

2011-07-20T07:22:00.003-04:00

The plot of "The Big Bank" -- a musical about a banker who falls in love with the owner of a flower shop he is sent to foreclose on -- could have been plucked from today's headlines.

Instead, it was written and composed 16 years ago by two brothers from Port Chester, N.Y., with help from a Greenwich piano teacher.

The story behind the musical is a bit more timeless. Years after Jacob and Daniel Seligmann had given up on the dream of seeing their creation on stage, and had moved on to separate careers in show business, "The Big Bank" will have its premiere, with 12 performances through the Emerson Theater Collaborative in Mystic from July 21 to 31.

The production has also been accepted by the New York Musical Theatre Festival , a fall festival where such acclaimed Broadway productions as "Next to Normal" and "title of show" have premiered.

The Seligmann brothers had their sights set high when they first started working on "The Big Bank" in 1994, in the house where they grew up. As Jacob, now 36, tells it, the two were watching journalist Charlie Rose interview composer Andrew Lloyd Weber and lyricist Tim Rice , who had collaborated on such hit musicals as "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita."

Daniel, a writer, had just graduated from college and Jacob had finished his freshman year at Brown University in Providence, R.I. Daniel, now 39, turned to his brother at one point and said, "We could do that."

So they did.

Daniel wrote the book for the musical, drawing from his experience of seeing friends jumping into jobs at investment banks after college, working 70-hour weeks. Jacob was the musician, having taken piano lessons from Stuart Hemingway in his Riverside home, so he came up with the melodies. The two even named the main character, Stuart, after Hemingway.

Hemingway, who lost his vision years ago, taught his students to play piano by having them listen to him, sending them home with recordings instead of sheet music. After Jacob wrote the songs for "The Big Bank," he brought them to his lessons, and Hemingway worked on the piano arrangements.

"He would sing what he wanted and I would play behind it, and it seemed to work pretty well," said Hemingway on a recent afternoon at the Nathaniel Witherell nursing home in Greenwich, where he now lives. "It sort of evolved out."

Later, Jacob made digital recordings of Hemingway playing the musical's score by using a keyboard that connected to his computer.

After the Seligmann brothers finished "The Big Bank," they shopped it around, at one point even meeting with legendary theater producer Harold Prince, who was interested in the musical for a director's workshop. There was even a reading of the play at the Lambs Club in Manhattan, but nothing came of it.

"It was the first real rejection I took really hard as a writer," said Daniel, who eventually moved to Los Angeles and has been working in the film industry as a writer and producer.

A couple of years ago, on a rainy day in New York City, the pair's mother, Michele Seligmann, was sharing a cab with a woman and they got to talking. She was involved with the Emerson Theater Collaborative, and Michele told her about "The Big Bank."

In 2008, as the economic crisis took hold and foreclosures popped up in every city and town, Jacob started thinking about getting "The Big Bank" going again.

"`The Book of Mormon' took forever," he said of the show by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, which recently won the Tony Award for Best Musical. "These are monumental projects. The timing has to be right. The timing for `The Big Bank' is perfect."

Daniel said he and his brother used the foreclosure process as a way to easily dramatize what banks do, never foreseeing how close it would come to reality.

"It's funny that I've been absolutely riveted and fascinated by the hypocrisy of investment banks and the government," Daniel said. "I think this is a story that just wants to be told. That's why it's finding the path that it is, even 16 years later. I don't think it would have meant a lot to people back then."

Back when he and Jacob were recording the music for "The Big Bank," Hemingway suggested Old Greenwich resident Stephanie Kies to sing the part of Iris, the flower shop owner. Hemingway had accompanied Kies when she sang at local church services and other venues. What Jacob and Daniel didn't know, however, was that Kies owned the Old Greenwich Flower Shop, which she ended up selling shortly afterward, in 1996.

"I always thought this would happen someday," said Kies of the musical's recent successes.

The men's father, Joel Seligmann, believes "The Big Bank," with its theme of love and kindness winning out over selfishness and greed, has Broadway potential.

"The message isn't just timely, it's for the hope in all of us," he said. "Look, I'm the father, and even great people have fathers."

The achievements are particularly bittersweet for Hemingway, who suffered a stroke several years ago that paralyzed his left side, leaving him unable to play the piano.

"I'm glad for Jake," Hemingway said. "He's worked so long on it."

Hemingway, who at one point taught 75 students a week, said he considers Jacob one of his most talented pupils.

"I think he could have been a jazz player," Hemingway said.

Jacob has worked for the last 10 years composing music for television, and also teaches piano to his students in the same way Hemingway taught him.

When it was confirmed that "The Big Bank" was going to be performed, Jacob used Hemingway's recordings and other computer software to create sheet music for the show, a painstaking process.

"Hearing the music director now playing, (Hemingway's) like living and breathing through this guy," Jacob said.

Jacob is anticipating a busy fall. The cast party for the Mystic production will be held Aug. 1, and by the next morning, he'll be working full-time in New York, getting the production ready for the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

"For sure Broadway is the goal, and I really think that's where it's going," Jacob said. "It seems so inevitable at this point."
