02/29/12 Rye Supervisor Carvin opens U.S. Senate run against Gillibrand

A town supervisor who wants to eliminate his own job has his sights set on another one: U.S. Senate.

Town Supervisor Joe Carvin, who is leading efforts to eliminate town government in Rye, on Wednesday announced that he wants the Republican nod to take on incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand in November.

Carvin, a 57-year-old a hedge-fund manager who specializes in agriculture, said leaders in Washington are spending far too much and undermining the country’s competitive position. And time is running out, he said.

“I don’t think that the U.S. is providing a competitive framework to help our citizens,” Carvin said Wednesday. “Ultimately, we’re in a situation that the U.S. is approaching insolvency, it’s approaching bankruptcy.”

Carvin said the country’s unfair tax code, entitlement programs and obligations under the Affordable Care Act cost taxpayers too much and reforms are needed to help businesses create jobs, he said.

“This is not a question of ideology. It’s about mathematics,” he said.

Carvin, who has not accepted a salary as supervisor, is vying for the Republican nomination against attorney Wendy Long and Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos.

Vintage Rye: Ode to the Odell Family | Editor's Choice
...In 1903, Louis Odell opened Odell’s Hardware at 39 Purchase Street (where Belle Cleaners is today).

A year later, Rye, with a population of 3,535, held a special, but controversial, vote to become an Incorporated Village. Some claimed they had no voice on the Board of the Town of Rye. Others, who favored town government, criticized it as a  “movement toward the exclusive”. Only male property owners could vote back then, although ladies owning property could have their husbands vote for them.

The election was held at Theodore Fremd’s Meat Market, on the northeast corner of Purdy and Purchase, where Louis Odell had worked for ten years prior to opening his hardware store. The vote — 155 in favor, 47 opposed — was headlined by the New York Sun, which proclaimed: “Rye is Now a Village”....

As a father of a brave young man who is a Sargent in the United States Army I can not express my disgust at the Carvin Administration of not letting the non-profit Town Of Rye Veterans use Rye Town Park.

He did this while my country was fighting two wars on five fronts and brave young men and women, like me youngest son were in harms way defending this great country and our freedoms.

My son was in Iraq, and survived three IED attacks and earned 11 Commendations, while Joe Carvin kicked the Town Of Rye Veterans Out of Crawford Park in Rye Brook.

Now, that my son is home and stationed in Arizona, and can be redeployed by our President in a moments notice, I have watch Carvin trivalize Veteran's Day with a free trial of an exercise class at the very park that Rye Town Veterans can no longer use.

In this War on Terror 4,977 families have had loved ones pay the Ultimate Price and 41,227 have returned home wounded. Many missing legs, arms and parts of their face.

One three occasions my son was almost added to one of these lists as my wife prayed everyday that God would protect and preserve our son while he was in combat.

When my son leaves the United States Army he will not be allowed to meet with his fellow veteran's at Crawford park, as other brave veterans have done for decades,

But he can go to Crawford park for a free obligation exercise class at Crawford Park on Veteran's Day.

It is clear, that Joe Carvin has never served his country in the military, or he would have never allowed our veteran's to be treated this way or to allow Rye Town's parks to make a mockery of Veteran's Day.

Every citizen of Port Chester, Rye Brook and Rye Neck should hold there head low for allowing Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin to treat our veteran's this way.

Just today another brave young American paid the ultimate sacrifice for us as Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin bans the Rye Town Veterans from Crawford Park in Rye Brook.
Elmwood Park Marine Killed In Afghanistan - With Video

By Sean LewisWGN-TV

10:16 p.m. CST, November 6, 2011

Outside the Elmwood Park home where 25-year-old Marine Nick Daniels grew up, his younger sister, Kati,  is still coming to grips with her family's loss.

"I never thought it would happen to him," she said. "It's really hard, ya know -- he was just so young."

Daniels was an all-conference football player, graduating from St. Pat`s high school on Chicago's Northwest Side before going onto college briefly. 

Less than two years ago, he enlisted in the Marine Corps-- the first of his generation to do so.

His sister said that becoming a marine was something Daniels always wanted to do so he went ahead and did it.

A family photograph was taken in August as they said goodbye before his first deployment... 

..... Now others, like the Patriot Guard Riders, are making visits, helping this family deal with a sudden loss.   

Patriot Guard Rider Dave Hume said "we’ve seen way too many grieving families [and that he has] been in too many airports, in too many hangars, watching too many caskets come off of the flights."

"This Marine will not be unattended," Hume added, "There will be a marine at his side the entire time.".....

11/07/11 Meet Rye Town Supervisor Candidate: Rico Dos Anjos

PHOTO: Master Rico Dos Anjos and Frank Scarfone, talk during a martial arts class

Ricardo “Rico” Dos Anjos (D) Age: 69 Residence: Port Chester Years in town: 69- life-long resident of Town of Rye Education: Master’s of Business Administration, Long Island University, 1971; Bachelor’s of Business Science in accounting, Long Island University, 1968 Employment: Teaches finance at Mercy College; retired financial executive at IBM; has private tax and financial consulting practice for 42 years Political affiliation: Registered Conservative Endorsement: Democratic Community affiliations: Board of Directors for Don Bosco Community Center, Board of Trustees of United Hospital as financial advisor, Village of Port Chester Voting Rights Commission, martial arts instructor through several community organizations Something the average resident doesn’t know about you: I was All-American honorable mention and All-Eastern States in junior college, and All-Metropolitan at Long Island University. I played in the Eastern Pennsylvania Professional Basketball League. I played against Connie Hawkins and Julius Irving right here at Don Bosco Center and against Wilt Chamberlain in the Rutgers Tournament down in Harlem. Q: What is the role of the town supervisor, as you see it? A: My role is to solve or try to solve some of the pressing issues. My role also is to listen to the people, listen to their complaints, have an open forum, have an open door. I am now, and I’m not even in office. You can’t solve everybody’s complaints, but if everyone touches on something, you have to try to fix it. The happier you make [residents], the more they will come to you and tell you what they’re concerned about. You’re no more than the voice of the community. Q: If elected, will you support the Rye Town dissolution study begun by the current administration? A:  If it’s going to result in significant savings, then why not? If it was me, I would roll up my sleeves and sit alongside the people that were working. I’d look at financials and see what was driving actuals higher than budgeted expenditures. Q: There has been a big Rye City push to make Rye Town Park financially sustainable; do you agree with that? A:  I have been told by several people that it’s not as it was several years ago, that there are bricks loose in the bathrooms and it needs painting. I would look at this budget and see if [restoring the park] is feasible. Pretty soon, you’ll have no choice but to do it. You have to mend your socks little by little. If the money’s not in the budget, ask for volunteers. Volunteers don’t cost money; volunteers have pride. You’d be surprised. I bet you could find a lot of interest in doing that work. The first thing someone’s going to ask is “What about insurance?” Somehow, you’re going to have to bite the bullet. Q: If the town were to dissolve what would you like to see happen to the park as far as controlling interests? A. That’s a tough question because people in Port Chester use that beach. People in Rye Neck use that beach. Do we say that we give all the power to the City of Rye? I would like to see a sharing of responsibility, a sharing of power, and again, teamwork with the residents in mind. If you want to charge a premium, you do that to people who aren’t local - people from outside the community, that’s who you charge a premium. Q: Rye Town has gained a reputation as for being at the forefront of property reassessment. The town spent $1 million to begin the process and another $360,000 to update it last year. Do you support that kind of expenditure for reassessment during the current economic climate? A; I don’t think the revaluation was a waste of money, but it wasn’t done right. Even the current administration said they could have done a better job. They even took the blame at the June 27 board meeting where they indicated it was a day late and a dollar short. Although taxes have been cut, and tax bills have gone down maybe $25-50, there is a lot of homeowners who say that if reval had been done properly, it could have saved them maybe as much as $100-1,000. If they had taken the prior administration’s database - which included pools and outbuildings - and used some sort of combination of the databases, maybe they would have done a better job. The current administration said the cost would double if they inspected every property. But items were missed between the previous administration and the last reassessment. Maybe the right thing would be to get both databases together and see if we can catch some of those mistakes. It would probably save money.

11/06/11 The Incompetent Rye Town Carvin Administration Survives, Because Of Voter Apathy And A Lack Of Reporting About The Town

Jenny Park at Costco said she doesn't know who she's going to vote for on Tuesday's Town of Rye election.

The Daily Port Chester: Residents Apathetic Toward Rye Town Elections

Jenny Park chuckled when asked if she could answer a few questions about the upcoming town council elections on Nov. 8.  “I wish I knew more,” Park said outside of Costco in downtown Port Chester. “I’m just so unsure about the issues.” She added, “I get the pamphlets in the mail but those don’t help much.”  Voters will elect a town supervisor, two town council members, a town justice, a receiver of taxes and a superintendent of highways. But despite several races, most Rye residents, including those from Port Chester and Rye Brook, have been apathetic about the general election. Outside the Rye Ridge Deli, one resident said, “To be honest, I don’t know too much about it,” but said he still planned on casting a vote.  The Town of Rye is comprised of the villages of Port Chester and Rye Brook and the Rye Neck section of the Village of Mamaroneck. For elected seats in the town's government, incumbent Supervisor Joe Carvin (R,C,I) is being challenged by Democrat Rico Dos Anjos. In the town council race, incumbent Robert Nioras (R,C,I) and running mate Christina Collins are running against Democrats John W. Reavis Jr. and Gary Sullivan.  The other contested races in town are the run for receiver of taxes. Incumbent Nicholas Mecca, a Democrat, is being challenged by Janusz Richards, who has the Republican, Conservative and Independence lines and Superintendent of Highways Thomas Nardi (D) being challenged by John DeCrescenzo (R,C,I). Town Justice Anthony Provenzano (D,R,C, I) is running unopposed.  Despite her uncertainty about who to vote for, Park said she still plans to vote on Tuesday.

11/06/11 The Town Crier Tells The Real Revaluation Story

By the Rye Town Roundup Crier

The real story behind the revaluation going on within the Town of Rye is as follows – back in 2002, the previous administration hired a company called MJW.

After a Revaluation Committee was put together by the previous administration which consisted of officials of the three school systems within the Town of Rye (Blind Brook, Port Chester and Rye Neck) and officials from Port Chester, Rye Brook and Rye Neck; Rye Town officials, and yes, this even included the original “Port Chester (or Village) Crier”, the original drama queen himself, Richard Abel, THEY choose MJW after other firms made presentations to this committee.

True, there were no RFP’s, but other firms were heard from. MJW at that time recently finished the revaluation of Greenwich, CT and was also certified by ORPS (Office of Real Property Services) of New York State.

Flash forward to the present time, we have the current Supervisor, Joseph Carvin, as well as the current Town Assessor making statements on how the present revaluation had errors.

There were major areas, especially in Rye Brook that were changed as late as of the end of May of this year and notices about these changes were not received by homeowners until early June of this year, which was too late for an informal hearing that was held in the middle of June of this year.

A former Rye Brook Trustee stated that the present company, Vision Appraisal failed to identify inventory correctly, structures such as pools, garages and other outdoor structures in the prior database (MJW) don’t even appear in the present database (maybe they just where wiped off the face of Rye Town, or to use the present TEAM CARVIN excuse, “it was the previous administration’s fault…again).

He also went on to state that the recent updates made with legal building permits have not even been captured by the present revaluation. In other words, some inventory might have been missed because there were no individual inspections which were admitted by the current assessor.

Could the reason be because of the present administrations cost factor of keeping the price on the cheap side of $360,000 and that the cost would have doubled to do the inspections of each property right?

So, who really saved? You might have to pay thousands of dollars more in taxes because of an incomplete revaluation process BUT, Team Carvin did save you approximately $25 to 30 in Town taxes per year.

I think I’d rather save on my property taxes, than my Town Tax…anybody for a movie and dessert…oh isn’t that more than $30?

 Oh well, so goes another Team Carvin myth.

11/06/11 Letter in Support of Nicholas Mecca for Rye Town Receiver of Taxes

Rye Town resident expresses his support for incumbent Nicholas Mecca

Charles Parlatore Writes:

I am writing this letter to endorse Nicholas C. Mecca for re-election as the Receiver of Taxes. I, like many others I know, was astonished to learn that this devoted public servant and outstanding human being was not being endorsed by all political parties.

Nick has twenty-one years of experience in various facets of the operation of the government of the Town of Rye, six of which are dedicated to the office of the Receiver of Taxes. As such, he has vast knowledge and understanding of the laws governing tax collections and in-depth hands-on-experience with the collection of taxes, especially the financial regulations for collecting them. he has stream-lined the collection system and has instituted changes which are beneficial to the taxpayers, such as on-line and credit card payments. Whether on the phone or in person, he always treats the taxpayers in a courteous and professional manner.

In addition, he is devoted to his church and to our community, donating countless hours of his time to local organizations, especially those that work with children and our senior citizens, for which he has been recognized many times.

So if you think, as I and many others do, that the Receiver of Taxes should be a person who is knowledgeable, experienced, professional and courteous, then the choice is very clear. Vote to re-elect Nicholas C. Mecca as the Receiver of Taxes on Row A, on Election Day, November 8.

In the banking and hedge fund world that Rye Town Supervisor Joesph Carvin operates in in life, it is often not what you know, but who you know.

Those like Joe Carvin, who are closest to the beating heart of investment banking will be the first to pick up the latest market-moving intelligence.

There is an intricate network of contacts that bankers have that operate to everybody’s mutual benefit – everyone except, of course, those living on main streets Of America.

It’s not a conspiracy, but it is a definite and perhaps inevitable consequence of grouping together so many similar, interconnected businesses and people, all working in the same, or related, industries in an incredibly small insulated investment banking and hedge fund world.

If all of this sounds depressing, it shouldn’t. It is simply a reality check.

It is up to investigative reporters to watch, assess and scrutinise – in short, they do their homework in order to protect honest hard working Americans.. Not just that, investigative reporters follow closely what secretive hedge fund honchos, like Joe Carvin,are up to.

A case in point is TomCo Energy, where share trading volumes have perked up and the stock is on the march.

This eagle-eyed independent investigative reporter is doing his due diligence have spotted that a company called Kenglo One owns almost 35 per cent TomCo’s equity.

This is one of the investment vehicles for Chris Brown, the former Williams de Broe analyst who made his fortune at London Mining. Forensic inspection of the share register throws up Rye Town Supervisor Joesph Carvin's Altima Partners, the private hedge fund which backed Brown in his early days.

Digging deeper we find out the company was a failed delisted company, that only was able to relisted on the London exchange after after Brown and Altima Partner's cash infusion.

Today the pumped up shares are changing hands for 2.37p – and have earned a tidy profit for those, like Altima Partners, who backed the cash call. To some this Altima Partner's investment seems a bit shady, pumping up a delisted stock and all.

The name TomCo is an abbreviation of The Oil Mining Company = TOMCO, and the clue is in the name. It plans to extract hydrocarbons from the shale of Uintah County, Utah.

In all, TomCo has almost 3,000 acres in the Beehive State. As this is a mining project it has a something called a JORC resource rather than proved and probable reserves.

Again, to some this Altima Partner's investment seems a bit shady pumping up a delisted stock and then promoting it with something called a a JORC resource rather than proved reserves.

Joe Carvin's Altima Partner's investment will strip-mine the oil shale and place it into ‘capsules’, using the EcoShale process which has been tried and tested on a pilot scale by Red Leaf Resources, its neighbour in Utah.

It works by using a stack of steel pipes, laid down in the capsule, through which is blown hot gas to heat up the oil shale.

Collection systems are placed at the top of the capsule for the gas, and at the bottom for the oil.
Over the 200-day process two synthetic oi l shale products are collected. A recent spike in the TomCo share price has been prompted by speculation that Red Leaf, which is mining the nearby Seep Ridge area using the same technology, is talking to one of the oil industry’s majors.

So some this Altima Partner's investment seems to be over hyped.

If this is indeed the case, then it places TomCo’s activities in a different light. However, it is merely speculation at this stage.

London firm, Optiva Securities says the Altima Partners is worth the current share and should trade at a 60 per cent discount to the net present value of its assets.

OUR VIEW: TomCo, Altima Partners and Joe Carvin's activities are risky at best. Altima Partners  investment in a formerly delisted stock it is not for widows and orphans.

And remember, always do your own due diligence (don’t just rely on what I have said) and think twice and maybe three times in joining Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin's Altima Partners' investment in TomCo.

And don't forget that this is not the first time that Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin lost other peoples money in an investment mining fiasco.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON GELFARB ....

In the race for the Westchester County Legislature District 6 seat, the committee faulted candidate David Gelfarb for tax-reduction claims.


Mailers for Gelfarb, a Republican Rye town councilman, say that he "Cut Town Taxes by 50%" and "increased the Fund Balance by 22%."


The committee found the claims unfair.


David "Mr. Pinocchio" Gelfarb's opponent is Daniel Brakewood, who is a Democrat and a Port Chester village trustee.

11/05/11 RYE TOWN CRIER: Town of Rye Parks

By The Rye Town Crier 

Recently, you’ve been hearing about how the present Rye Town administration has been saving lots of money on the operations of the parks within Rye Town (Crawford Park and Rye Town Park).

What you are not hearing about is how NOTHING is being spent on the parks, outside of promised proposals to put money into them because it is election time coming and elected and appointed officials jobs are on the line.

Has anyone been through any of the parks as of the last four years?
|
What do you see?

Decrepitated structures, grass as high as a corn stalks, a baseball diamond whose infield is from the fields of Afghanistan, and non profits from the Town of Rye who claim they can’t have space at Crawford Park.

According to the Edna Crawford Will, which deeded over Crawford Park to the Town of Rye, all non-profits within the Town should be given free access to Crawford Park.

It is rumored that after Election Day, assuming TEAM CARVIN wins, there will be a proposal to have any non-profit use Crawford Park once a year for no cost, then after that, they would have to pay half the price that a private function would have to pay.

Maybe that’s what TEAM CARVIN means when they say they have to increase non-tax revenue, by doing if off the backs of the hard working non-profits within the Town of Rye.

What would Edna Crawford say about that if she were still alive today?

Any comments from the Town Attorney Paul Noto?

Maybe, he is saving is comments for the court room, when the Town's non-profits drag his butt into court.

And What's Up With The Town Of Rye Secretary WHO Does Respond To Messages And Phone Calls In A Timely Manner.
