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;

Rye Town Supervisor Joesph Carvin Snaps Up African Farmland

Joe Carvin's Altima Partners investment fund is buying up farmland in Africa and Latin to grow food for export -- a profitable business, with a growing global population and rapidly rising prices. The high-stakes game of real-life Monopoly is leading to a modern colonialism to which many poor countries in African and Latin American countries submit out of necessity.

Every crisis has its winners. A group of them are sitting in Joseph Edward Carvin's Altima Partners LLP's offices in New York.

06/05/07 Poll inspector: Port Chester treated Hispanic and white voters differently

Luz Mariana Chavista said she worked at the polls in Port Chester during six
elections since 2002. She said election workers often asked Latinos for backup
identification, in addition to their voter registration cards, such as a driver's license.
White voters were seldom asked for such identification, she said.

Chavista also testified that election workers cordially greeted white voters at the
polls but virtually ignored Latinos. She said white voters who were not found on the
voter-registration rolls were offered an affidavit ballot, but Hispanics were turned
away.

Chavista testified yesterday in a federal voting rights trial that revolves around
whether the village's election system illegally dilutes the Hispanic vote. The federal
government sued the village in December, challenging the method it uses to elect its
six trustees. It wants the village to replace its voting system - in which trustees are
elected in a villagewide vote - with one in which they are elected from different
districts.

During cross-examination, Joseph Sack, a lawyer for the village, grilled
Chavista on her seven past addresses in Port Chester and asked her to recall the
specific elections she had worked. Chavista said she could not remember.

Trustee Domenick Cicatelli and village planning consultant Patrick Cleary also took
the stand on the fifth day of the trial.

Cleary, who has worked as a planner for the village in some capacity since 1986,
testified to the accuracy of the 2000 census and disputed the population counts of
some village blocks.

He also spoke about recent changes in the Hispanic-majority district proposed by the
Justice Department as a result of growth and development, and described the
population in the district as transient, but could not point to any studies or analysis to
back up his statements.

Cicatelli, a Republican, said he was angry when he received a controversial flier
mailed by his former running mate Bart Didden. The flier viciously attacked his
opponent Dennis Pilla and his campaign manager, Blanca Lopez, and has been
denounced by some, including Cicatelli, as racist.

"I was furious because if you look at this, you would assume that it had come from
Mr. Pilla's opponent and it didn't," Cicatelli said, adding that the flier sent the
opposite message he was trying to convey.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Robinson asked Cicatelli whether he should be troubled
that a former trustee candidate had sent out such a flier.

"It certainly shouldn't be something you ignore," Cicatelli said, "and you should be
troubled."
