Indicted Cronomer Valley Woman Challenges Jet Plane Law
Lorna Zellers of Cronomer Valley, indicted for allegedly shooting at a Pan American jet, won a state Supreme Court show cause order challenging the constitutionality of Penal Law Section 265.35. The order returns July 6 after her motion argues the statute is vague and could apply to firing at a plane at 60,900 feet or at a model aircraft. The case stems from an alleged .22 rifle shot at a Boeing 747 taking off from Stewart Airport, with Zellers arraigned after a grand jury returned an indictment May 24.

Circleville park plan draws Democrat critique
Democratic candidate Jay A. Brown of Wallkill attacks Circleville’s $315,000 town park as ill conceived and poorly funded. He urges nearby micro parks in dense areas and argues subdivision funds should fund local recreation closer to residents, not a distant project slated to take 5 to 10 years. Brown cites growth in Silver Lake Scotchtown area as evidence that Circleville shifts funds away from nearby communities.
