D-Day! Allies Storm Hitler’s EuropeD-Day! Allies Storm Hitler’s EuropePete Reidy Memorial Day, 2013 Pete Reidy Memorial Day, 2013

By Benjamin Meyers

Woodbury, NY - Today marks the 69th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. The entire world was at war! Hitler’s Nazis occupied Europe and this was the day the Allies stormed the beaches of the Normandy coast.

Our Memorial Day Parade paid tribute to Americans who fell on that day. Of course we honored all fallen American servicemen and women at the same time and Bren-dan “Pete” Reidy led the 2013 Pa-rade as Grand Marshal.

Weather conditions prior to the inva-sion Hitler’s “Fortress Europa” were about to force Operation Overlord’s to be cancelled. Like D-Day, rain for days leading to the parade day threat-ened to cancel it. Fortunately on both occasions, 69 years apart, weather co-operated and plans went ahead.

This year, besides wreath laying at WWI at Summit Avenue, WWII and Korea Woodbury memorials at Vic-tory Park, Mario’s Restaurant was a special stop. Taps were played by Joe Marshall to salute Mario Benvenuto, a Marine veteran who served in Viet-

nam, and who passed away last year. The M-W Marching Band also halted in front of Jay’s Deli, did a right face, and played to thank owner Colleen Pearce her community service.

Pete Stabile, veteran of Afghani-stan, spoke about the American fl ag and when it is folded, the meaning of each fold. Joanne Sullivan, Director of Cemetery of the Highlands, presented Presidential Memorial Certifi cates to wives of deceased veterans; Beth Za-vilwitz, Thelma Mann (daughter/sis-ter of Frank & Richard Jones, Nicole Hannaburgh and Carol Crotty.

Parade Day weather cooperated as rain halted – like storm abated for D-Day landing in Normandy

CORRECTIONThe editor apologizes to Mr. Har-old “Woody” Woods and Mr. John “Jack” Baird for confusing their names. In a caption on page 17 of our May 23 edition, we stated that Jack Baird was standing to the right of Pete Reidy. In fact, it was Mr. Woods next to Mr. Reidy.

Flag Day - Jr. ROTC & M-W CSD

Flag Day will be celebrated on Friday, June 14. Fly the Colors at home and business!

Be proud of our nation.On that same day in 1775, the US Army was established. What a heritage we

have in America!The West Point Military Academy

was founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1802; although not on June 14th. You should know a little about why this academy was formed.

Following our Revolutionary War, citizens were very fearful of maintaining a standing army. All nations before we gained our liberty and formed our government maintained standing armies. Monarchs, dictators and emperors kept armies partly to suppress their citizenry. So President Jefferson faced strong opposition to creating a military school and maintaining an army.

An avid reader and student of philosophy, Jefferson sifted best logic from philosophers as he helped to form of our government. He believed in true democracy! He also knew that the new United States needed protection from aggression, because at the time Brit-ain, France and Spain were waiting for our experiment as a repub-lic to fail. They were even pushing us to fail!

We also needed protection from internal enemies – Shay’s Re-bellion was a serious example.

So America sorely needed trained military leaders. Leaders need-ed to be ingrained with good character, discipline, and military en-gineering! Good leaders, having virtue and character, would even-tually dispel the peoples’ fear of maintaining a standing army.

Today, as then, leaders need to be sought out from among young students. And the Jr. Reserve Offi cer Training Corps (Jr. ROTC)s is a great way to initiate students into leadership roles. They learn history and tradition, and are taught the virtues of character, disci-pline and military preparedness.

M-W CSD does not have a Jr. ROTC program. It has many other excellent programs, but this one is sorely missing. Many students who desire to participate cannot participate and are deprived of excellent area of education. Should this change?

Woodbury Police now offers a Confidential Tips Line Phone number 845-928-2344 - Reports remain Confi dential

The Town of Woodbury Police Department now offers a confi dential tips line to report any crime or suspicious incident that occurs in the Town of Wood-bury. All information that is reported will remain confi dential and will not ap-pear in any written report. The confi dential tips line phone number is 845-928-2344. Please include any names, addresses, telephone numbers, and the license plate numbers of all vehicles involved. Once again any in-formation given will remain confi dential.

Sgt. Kevin Phillips says, “The Woodbury Police De-partment would like to remind all residents that if you see something suspicious, say something! We appre-ciate your continued support.”

By Michael Queenan, Village of Woodbury Mayor

YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE I’m often perplexed why people don’t vote. When I ask, I get a variety of excuses. The one excuse that bothers me the most is “my vote doesn’t count”. Well that is very true if you don’t vote.

I can think of a lot of reasons why you should vote, one’s civic duty, peo-ple died for your freedom to vote and of course it’s your constitutional right. I get the fact that everyone is busy working, commuting, kids, household chores and family obligations etc. etc.

etc. However there is one important item that we all need to add to that list and that is “don’t forget to vote”.

You should also make an effort to learn some information about the can-didates and issues that are on the bal-lot. There are two defenses in protect-ing our freedom. One is an unrestricted and objective media that keeps the public informed, so people can make intelligent decisions. The second is your constitutional right to vote, which allows you and your fellow citizens to choose our leaders and policy.

Voting is not only our most precious right, but it’s a method to bring about

change. It’s the mechanism for people to have a voice in how they will be governed. The gift of the constitution that was given to us by our founding fathers, gave us our basic right to vote. This right only has value if you use it.

Our founding fathers put their lives in jeopardy to bring about change that gave us the freedom to speak our mind and to vote our convictions. Today we don’t need a revolution or to risk our lives to bring about change, all we have to do is get involved, know the issues and vote.

If you don’t vote, you empower the minority to make the decisions for

the majority. I ask all the residents of Woodbury to send a loud clear mes-sage to our county, state and federal governments.

The message is that Woodbury votes. Politicians will take notice if all of our 7,000 registered voters come out and vote. I follow that up by asking if you are 18 or older and not registered to vote, please register and start voting.

Our next election in Woodbury is the Village election June 18th at the Highland Mills Fire House from 6am to 9pm. So please remember to come out and vote! Michael Queenan May-or Village of Woodbury

WWW.WOODBURYGAZETTE.COM June 6, 2013 3Letters to the editor

For the last four years, I have had the honor of serving the residents of the Village of Woodbury as Mayor. Once again, I’m asking for your support as I seek another term as Mayor.

Over the past four years, the Village Board and I have accomplished much. We still have more challenges to meet in a constantly changing environment. We have accomplished the following and will continue our efforts. Investing in our infrastructure to meet DEC re-quirements. Constructed new wells and water line extensions (scheduled to be online July 2013). Infl ow & infi ltration projects to insure surplus sewage capac-ity. Passed and defending our compre-hensive zoning plan. Continue to re-visit zoning laws to enhance economic development and outdoor recreation. Implemented CodeRed (Emergency Notifi cation System). Stabilized and improved our water and sewer services throughout Village. Passed legislation to control growth and appearance of cloth-ing collection bins.

My fellow trustees and I continue to work towards a transparent, accountable and fi scally responsible Village Govern-ment. Our goal is to maintain a depend-able infrastructure while minimizing the tax impact. We work toward increasing ratables without impacting schools and straining our current resources. We aim to improve our quality of life in Wood-bury by developing recreation fi elds, af-fordable senior and workforce housing.

Our motto is “to be part of the solu-tion”. I am asking for your support, so please come out on June 18th and vote for the Common Sense Party Team of Michael Queenan, Timothy Egan and Thomas Flood. Even though we are running unopposed, it is important for Woodbury citizens to exercise their right to vote. My team also appreciates your vote of confi dence.

Let everyone know that the residents of Woodbury vote. We truly appreciate your support. Michael Queenan, Mayor Village of Woodbury

I’m asking for your support as I seek another term as Mayor

Community

I am announcing my candidacy for re-election as a Village of Wood-bury Trustee. I am also asking you to support the Common Sense Team (Queenan, Egan and Flood), as we are all seeking re-election. Thank you for your past and continued support!

I have been fortunate to have your trust and support for my fi rst two year term (in 2009), and second two year term (in 2011). I hope to receive this same support for a third term, on June 18, 2013—the date of the “2013 Vil-lage Election”.

It is very important that the Village of Woodbury residents come out to vote. It sends a clear message to all the stake-holders around us that “Wood-bury Cares” about local and regional issues. Recently, while participating in a civil and organized demonstration against a project being undertaken by a neighboring community, I was proud to be part of the group of caring people in Woodbury. We stood on the side of the road in front of this on-coming pipeline project to voice displeasure for it (as heavy machinery clanked and churned in our direction)--a great example, that “Woodbury Cares”. If elected again, I will continue to demonstrate that I care about what matters to Woodbury!

If re-elected, your current board will stay in place, and continue to work in harmony on your behalf. We don’t agree on everything, but we work positively together in your best interest. Board civility is important. As reported by our local media, not all Orange County governing boards work well together. In the end, this kind of turbulence does not enhance the value or reputation of the community or county.

Throughout our last four years, the Village Board has done much to help keep the value of your home invest-ment and local businesses positive. We have initiated and completed sev-eral municipal projects, which have enhanced, stabilized and improved our sewers and water services, while keeping our costs down and in line. We have also been very supportive of our local Volunteer Fire-Fighters, Emergency Services and Police De-partment who consistently provide great service to our community—thank you to our fi rst responders!

In closing, it’s been a pleasure and honor to represent you and I hope you continue to support me on Election Day, June 18th, 2013. Thank you and God bless. Sincerely, Thomas G. Flood

Thomas Flood, Woodbury Village Trustee, announces 2013 candidacy

My name is Timothy P. Egan and I’m announcing my candidacy for reelec-tion to the Village of Woodbury Board of Trustees. Four years ago the village electorate voted The Common Sense Party into offi ce, and two years later we were re-elected. Once again we are ask-ing for your support.

As a senior level EMS Administrator and IT Director I have led many large projects over my career. All of them share one thing in common: They have either decreased expenses, increased rev-enue or both. While serving you on the Village Board we have had similar chal-lenges. We have been faced with fi scal decisions like passing responsible bud-gets, quality of life decisions like passing new legislation on clothing bins, and le-gal challenges that we face with honesty, integrity and complete regard for the best interests of the village residents.

Throughout my adult life I have al-ways looked for ways in which to serve my community. Early on in my EMS career I served as a local volunteer on several ambulance corps, and in 1986 I made EMS my career. Years later I served as the president of my HOA, and also served on the Board of Directors of a local ambulance corp.

In the past six years I served Wood-bury fi rst on the Zoning Board of Ap-peals, and then on the Village Board of Trustees for the past four years. I look forward to many more years serving the residents of our community.

Please come out on Tuesday June 18th and vote for the Common Sense Party of Michael Queenan, Timothy Egan and Thomas Flood. Make sure you stop at Village Hall between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM to make your voice heard!Timothy Egan

“Father and Son” – A Special for Father’s DayEvery father remembers the many times a small, hopeful voice said, “Hey Dad, come play catch with me?”

By Pat Brown

Every father remembers the many times a small, hopeful voice said, “Hey Dad, come play catch with me?” A wise man lays down whatever he is doing and spends some time with his son. All fathers look back on those moments with either warm satisfaction or wistful regret for opportunities lost.

Twenty years ago a group of parents or-ganized a hockey program for their teen-

age boys. Initially they played on the Smith’s Clove basketball courts with hay bales lining the borders. By 1995 they had enough momentum to work with MJPC to build a roller hockey rink near the tennis courts.

One of the dreams for some of the founding parents was to be able to play competitive hockey alongside their son or daughter. Many of the youth players from the late 90’s and early 2000’s are returning

as adult players and fulfi lling their father’s hope of playing alongside of his son.The Beginning

Mitch Brandman: I’ve been playing hockey on and off since I was 10 years old. I started playing on the streets of Brooklyn, in schoolyards until fi nally a league was formed in the Kings Bay section of Brook-lyn. Prior to the MRHL, Zach and I would skate in front of our house playing hockey.

Zach Brandman: Ever since I can re-member we would always play hockey out

in the street in front of the house. It wasn’t until the fall of 1994 when I received my fi rst pair of roller blades that we got into roller hockey. In 1995, we found out about the Monroe Roller Hockey league and we have been members ever since.

Ken Schermerhorn Sr.: I played roller and ice hockey since the sixties. I played in Fort Hamilton Roller against the Mul-lins brothers. Played in MSG with FDNY against NYPD 1976 and 77.

Hockey today is more of a skill sport; when I played it was survival of the mean-est. I was a role player (fi ghter). Every team kept someone like me to protect the skill players.

He was about 5 or 6 and I was show-ing him one timers and for some reason he called it an apple turnover. WHY? (no one knows) and we still laugh about it and still refer to it as an apple turnover.

Ken Schermerhorn Jr.: I began when I was in kindergarten and we lived in Brooklyn. I have vivid memories of going to roller rink before my afternoon class.I learned how to skate on quads using 3m tape as a puck.

Bill Sanborn Sr.: I played as a kid growing up in Brooklyn. I played for different precincts and units I worked in while I was with the NYPD and have been Mike, Rob, and Don Beeler. All Photos by Pat Brown

Mitch and Zach Brandman

WWW.WOODBURYGAZETTE.COM June 6, 2013 5playing in the Monroe adult league since I moved up in 1995. I introduced Billy to hockey at a very young age.

Bill Sanborn Jr.: I started playing or-ganized hockey when I was about 4 or 5. He played the most instrumental role for me when I was playing youth hockey. He was the one that originally signed me up for hockey and if it not for him I might never have started playing hockey. He and my mom always found a way to get me to practices and games no matter what.

Rob Beeler: I’ve been playing hockey since I was probably 9-10 yrs old. When I got my fi rst pair of roller blades I skated in the drive way for hours. Then we start-ed using the garage door as a hockey net, which didn’t last long as soon as Mom saw what the door looked like.The Journey

Zach Brandman: My dad always coached all the teams that I had played for. Also, he helped run a travel league as well as forming a team to play at Bear Mountain. He gave a lot of his time so that way we had a well organized league for everyone to play. He always made sure everyone played, had fun, and com-peted at the same time.

Ken Schermerhorn Sr.: My son was around 13 and I was coaching his ice team. He wanted an earring and I told him if he scored a hat trick I would let him get one. When he scored his third goal that day he skated to the bench and showed me his EAR.

Ken Schermerhorn Jr.: He taught me everything, from skating, shooting, pass-ing, taking and giving a hit among many other things. He also drove me every-where! One time we stuffed 4 people, 3 hockey bags and 6 sticks in a Subaru Justy for an away game at 5 am. A Justy is a 3 cylinder Subaru about the size of a mini cooper. Not sure how we pulled that one off but we did!

At games or practices at Bear Moun-tain in below 0 temperatures other par-ents were in the heated room but he was standing on the bench with us. I used to skip school and go with him to play open hockey with the cops and fi remen.

Our team won some championship and he promised if we did win we could shave his head in the locker room and we did!

He taught me how to play smart, tricks of the trade so to speak or hockey sense. He taught me there are good penalties, bad penalties and how to talk to refs.

Bill Sanborn Sr.: The whole family sup-ported him by getting him to practices a few times a week, getting him to his travel games on the weekend and being there to watch and support him during his games.

Rob Beeler: My dad was very sup-portive of me playing hockey from when I was 10 until now. At our ice hockey games for the high school he would always take pictures and video tape. He really never missed any games even with a busy work schedule. Till this day he still calls me every time we have a game in Monroe to make sure we make it. The Destination

Mitch Brandman: I always enjoy our time together on and off the rink. It is very rare when a father and son can share a common bond as adults.

Zach Brandman: Just spending the time

together every Sunday and competing with him is what I most enjoy. It’s something that I look forward to every week.

Ken Schermerhorn Sr.: His running commentary as I referee and he plays is enjoyable but he keeps telling everyone secrets / memories to bust my chops.

Ken Schermerhorn: Pop always said I was a better hockey player than he ever was, but I’ll never be as mean as he was. I learned the little hooks, holds and chirps

that make the game interesting and the way to do with without refs noticing. Now that he refs, he knows what I’m go-ing to do and why I’m going to do it. You can’t trick the guy who taught you the tricks!

Bill Sanborn Sr.: Playing with him now, he makes me look good. He sets me up for some pretty goals. Even I can’t

miss. He probably has more patience with me now than I had with him as a kid.

Bill Sanborn Jr.: Some of our roles have changed a bit. After the many years of him driving me around, I now fi nd myself driving him to the games. Also, after many years of him pointing out my

bone-head plays, I have a chance to give it back to him.

Rob Beeler: Playing in the adult league has been very different than youth hockey. Youth hockey was very aggressive and competitive; you just want to win games. The adult league is much more than just winning, it’s really about having a good time. I always enjoy getting out with my dad. When we skate together there is a good feeling - I just try to get him to skate close to the net and give him the puck to fi nish.Refl ections

Bill Sanborn Sr.: I think most people would, or could, remember specifi c games, or, that great play, and believe me there were plenty of those, but if you look at the big picture, it’s all the time you spend in the car traveling back and forth to practices and games. That’s really quality time.

What’s really great is you remember the fi rst time he stepped on the ice at 4 years old, and many years later; there he is playing his last game in college. I only hope he gets to experience it with his son or daughter, and maybe, I get to experi-ence it as a grandparent.

Bill Sanborn Jr.: I think we have had a lot of interesting moments together, but the most memorable ones were when we would take road-trips to games or tourna-ments together.

Rob Beeler: It’s been a great life of hockey and my father’s has had a big part of it, because he’s sitting next to me on the bench.

Zach Brandman: During youth hockey for all the years I played, I had never won a championship. Getting to win my fi rst in 2008 while playing on the same team was a very special moment for me.

The ART Studio Exhibit Over a hundred-ninety attended exhibit of paintings and other works of art Highland Mills, NY - The ART Studio in Highland Mills exhibited paintings, knitted articles, sculpture and other art forms last Friday and Sunday afternoon. A hundred and ninety visitors attended the local show. Some works were for sale, but many pieces were by artists contributed from their personal collections. The artwork displayed wonderful talent of Woodbury residents. Suzanne Auer is The ART Studio’s owner and was present to tell stories about many of the paint-ings and about the artists. Suzanne said, “I was very pleased with how many people visited our gallery and exhibit. Students here range in age from very young to young at heart seniors. We had many happy artists today because of the wonderful comments that people left for them.” Suzanne encourages others who missed this show to stop by. “We welcome visitors at any time.”

Goshen – With unseasonably warm temperatures predicted over the next few days, it’s important to take steps to avoid heat-related illnesses warn Orange County Executive Edward A. Diana and Dr. Jean Hudson, Orange County Commissioner of Health.

“Heat-related illnesses can cause serious injury and even death if not treated, but there are simple precau-tions that can be taken to prevent such issues,” said County Executive Diana. “During periods of extreme heat it’s critical that we be good neighbors and check on those who are elderly, sick, or have young children at home.”

Heat stroke (or sun stroke) is the most severe form of heat-related ill-ness and causes several hundred deaths in the United States each year. It occurs when a person’s body tem-perature exceeds 105 degrees Fahr-enheit and is often accompanied by confusion and can progress to coma and death unless treated by rapidly lowering the body temperature.

“If you believe someone has heat stroke, call for emergency medical treatment or have the person taken to the hospital immediately,” warns Dr. Hudson.

Other less severe forms of heat-re-

lated illness are heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heat exhaustion occurs when people exercise heavily or work in a warm, humid location where body fl uids are lost through heavy sweat-ing. Heat exhaustion is characterized by cold, pale, clammy skin, and may include fainting and vomiting.

To cope with the high tempera-tures predicted for the remainder of this week Dr. Hudson recommends that residents consider locating cool places to spend time during the heat of the day. These may include a mall or other shopping location, libraries, community recreation centers, and other public buildings.

The following steps offered by Dr. Hudson and the Orange County De-partment of Health will help people stay cool and enjoy this week and the many hot days to come with summer just around the corner:

Drink more fl uids. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate the body. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors will refl ect some of the sun’s energy. It’s also a good idea to wear a wide-brimmed hat

➤

➤

or use an umbrella and a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Eat small meals and eat more often. Do not eat a lot of food high in protein, which increases metabolic heat. Slow down. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually in the morning between 4 and 7 a.m. When temperatures are extreme, stay indoors, ideally in an air-conditioned place. Never leave anyone -- a person or animal -- in a parked vehicle. Be sure to double-check vehicles for young children before leaving your car.

While anyone, at any time can be prone to heat-related illness, some are at greater risk than others. People age 65 or older are particularly susceptible to heat-related illnesses and resulting

➤

health complications during periods of high temperatures and humidity. Individuals with chronic respiratory illnesses, such as asthma, may also fi nd their conditions worsen during periods these times.

Infants and young children are also at increased risk for complications in extreme heat. To help cope during hot, humid conditions, physical activity should be reduced and outdoor play should be before 10 am and after 2 pm to avoid the hottest sun of the day. Check your vehicle for sleeping or hiding youngsters before leaving it.

Lastly, it’s important to remember our furry family members when tem-peratures start to soar. If possible, ani-mals should be kept indoors in a cool location. If they must be left outside, be sure to leave them in a shady loca-tion with plenty of water. Never leave an animal in a closed vehicle when the weather is warm.

Highland Mills, NY - There is nothing comparable to church dinners for good ol’ home cooking. Mem-bers of Highland Mills United Methodist Church recently decided to help the Orange County Safe Homes program, and the way to do it, they thought, was to hold a dinner and bake sale.

The church’s hall and dining area was fi lled to ca-pacity by fi ve o’clock, just thirty minutes after open-ing doors this past Saturday. Members brought over fi fteen different salad dishes. And there were baked chicken legs and tender ham, while fresh baked cup-cakes and coffee completed the meal. Baked goods such as rhubarb and strawberry pies, summer fruit cakes, ring cakes with nuts and a variety of other pastry and cakes were available at very reasonable prices.

Pastor Darling Resling said, “Having such a friendly time together with friends from the com-munities of Woodbury and Cornwall is always a joy. This was a good way for us to help Orange County Safe Homes.”

Fred and Karen Ungerer had spent the morning kayaking and the afternoon at the Earl Reservoir. Karen said, “Being out all day on the water is fun and works up an appetite. Since I didn’t feel like cooking by the end of the day, we thought we would come here, support the fundraiser, and enjoy a home cooked meal.”

WWW.WOODBURYGAZETTE.COM June 6, 2013 13June 6, 1944D-Day - Allied invasion of northern France, 69 Years agoOn this day in 1944, Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhow-er gave the go-ahead for the largest amphibious military operation in history: Op-eration Overlord, code named D-Day, the Allied invasion of northern France.

By the fi rst week of June 1944, Nazi Germany controlled most of Western Europe. Allied forces, numbering 156,000, were poised to travel by ship or plane over the English Channel to attack the German army dug in at Normandy, France, on June 5. Eisenhower had a window of only four days of decent weather in which an invasion would be possible. After a promising but cautious report from his meteorologist at 9:45 p.m. on June 5, Eisenhower told his staff let’s go.

By daybreak, 18,000 British and American parachutists were already on the ground. At 6:30 a.m., American troops came ashore at Utah and Omaha beaches. At Omaha, the U.S. First Division battled high seas, mist, mines, burning vehi-cles—and German coastal batteries, including an elite German infantry division, which spewed heavy fi re. Many wounded Americans ultimately drowned in the high tide. British divisions, which landed at Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches, and Canadian troops also met with heavy German fi re, but by the end of the day they were able to push inland.

The United States and Britain each lost about 1,000 men, and Canada 355. Be-fore the day was over, 155,000 Allied troops would be in Normandy. However, the United States managed to get only half of the 14,000 vehicles and a quarter of the 14,500 tons of supplies they intended on shore.

June 7, 1776“These United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States” - Lee Resolution, 237 Years ago

On this day in 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia introduc-es a resolution for independence to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia; John Adams seconds the motion.

Lee’s resolution declared: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political con-nection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; that measures should be immediately taken for procuring the assistance of foreign powers, and a Confederation be formed to bind the colonies more closely together.”

During the ensuing debates, it became clear that New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and South Carolina were as yet unwilling to declare independence, but would likely be ready to vote in favor of a break with England in due course.

Thus, Congress agreed to delay the vote on the Lee Resolution until July1. In the intervening period, Congress appointed a commit-tee to draft a formal declaration of independence. Its members were John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Robert R. Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia.

Thomas Jefferson, well-known to be the best writer of the group, was selected to be the primary author of the document, which was presented to Congress for review on June 28, 1776.

On July 1, 1776, debate on the Lee Resolution resumed as planned, with a majority of the delegates favoring the resolution. Congress thought it of the utmost importance that independence be unani-mously proclaimed.

To ensure this, they delayed the fi nal vote until July 2, when twelve colonial delegations voted in favor of it. The New York delegates ab-stained, unsure of how their constituents would wish them to vote.

John Adams wrote that July 2 would be celebrated as “the most memorable epoch in the history of America.” Instead, the day has been largely forgotten in favor of July 4, when Jefferson’s edited Declaration of Independence was adopted
