Coeymanazi Tactics Just Go So Far and Then Blow Up in Their Faces

Ravena Health and Fitness Center, Bruno, Deluca
Coming under Intense Scrutiny for Protected Rights Violations, Harassment

That’s what’s happened when Cathy Deluca, director of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, tried to harass and bully a local resident. That was the wrong thing to do and the wrong person to do it to. Right, Cathy?

Cohort of Clowns

It seems that mayor John T. Bruno and his cohort of clowns, the trustees of the village of Ravena (William Bailey, Martin Case , Rocco Persico, and Nancy Warner) made a bad choice when they “appointed” Cathy Deluca to the $30K position as director of the fitness center.

We recently reported how a visit to the Ravena Health and Fitness Center was less than impressive. But what we didn’t report on was the way a visitor to the RHFC was treated by Cathy Deluca and how that treatment has landed Deluca and the village of Ravena in a very, very sticky situation.

In fact, on June 4, 2013, the Ravena mayor John T. Bruno, the village of Ravena, the trustees of the Village of Ravena, and Cathy Deluca were served with a Notice of Claim, advising them that a local resident intends to sue them for at least $1,000,000 for abuse received at the hands of Cathy Deluca.

Cathy Deluca

A Notice of Claim (N.Y. GMU. LAW § 50-e) is the preliminary step that is required under New York State Law when a lawsuit is looming against a municipality or a corporation. It’s supposed to give them a chance to get their ducks in a row and investigate. Later a hearing (N.Y. GMU. LAW § 50-h), called a 50H, is scheduled and the claimant or witnesses are examined under oath. That allows the municipality to decide whether to fight or to make an offer. If the preliminaries fail, the case goes to the courts. Transcripts of the testimony are made available to the claimant, who has the opportunity to correct any errors or even to clarify answers. Those transcripts can be read into evidence by either party at any hearing, trial, or on a motion.

Deluca calls him over to the reception counter and starts verbally assaulting him

The Facts in a Nutshell: During the open-house days the public was invited to check out the RHFC, and the resident, who works out regularly, went to tour the RHFC. The tour went very well but when the resident was about to leave, Deluca calls him over to the reception counter and starts verbally assaulting him.

Ever Heard of This?

Apparently Cathy Deluca wasn’t aware of federal and state laws, First and Fourteenth Amendment protected rights, and the fact that being an employee of a government entity and working in a public place could get you into some very hot water if you don’t mind your manners and know your place. Of course, Cathy Deluca doesn’t mind her manners or know her place, judging by the facts of the case.

VIOLATED!!!

Bottom line is: Deluca verbally abused the visitor, demanded that he stop his constitutional rights of free expressive activity, expelled the visitor from the RHFC, a public place,  for no good reason, and she enlisted the assistance of two RHFC employees to intimidate and force the visitor to leave. Deluca violated so many of the visitors protected rights we wouldn’t have time or space to list them here but will soon be posting the full text of the Notice of Claim, the Claimant’s Affidavit served on the village of Ravena, and the Deposition in Support filed with the complaint with the Coeymans Police Department on a charge of harassment.

VIOLATED!!!

We have information that Deluca and two RHFC employees, apparently the same employees that assisted Deluca in harassing the visitor, attempted to complain to the Coeymans Police that the visitor had caused the incident, but the lies will not take them far, and the two employees had better be very careful before they get themselves deeper into the muck and charged along with Deluca.

Perjury
Lying under Oath

Our advice to the two RHFC employees who seem to have made misleading statements: Be very careful what you say and don’t be led astray by any promises. The law takes very seriously false statements and perjury and you may be getting set up for a very rocky ride. You never know what’s out there to support the facts and the truth. Caution!

The Plot Thickens…

Cathy Deluca is the nexus between the Ravena mafiosi and the Coeymanazis.

This can start to get really complicated. Here’s why: We frequently use the term “incest club” and this is a classic example of how the club operates. Here we have the infamous Bruno-Biscone connections: Ravena mayor John Bruno, Ravena trustee Nancy Warner (a Biscone), one of the main supporters of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center and on the budget committee that approved the funds for the Center in the 2013-14 Ravena budget ($115,500.00) is wife of Ravena village justice Harold “Hal” Warner. Nancy is also a tool of Ravena mayor Bruno and, as we’ve mentioned, Warner is a supporter of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center conspiracy, she’s head of the budget committee for the Fitness Center, and was instrumental in getting Cathy Deluca the job as director (that way mayor Bruno can keep his bony fingers clean). Michael Biscone, as is common knowledge, is the on-again-off-again Ravena village shyster, “getting things done”  whether he’s on the books or not. Cathy Deluca, it seems, is the “item” between the Ravena mafiosi and the Coeymanazis. Cathy Deluca is Gerald “Dirty Hands” Deluca’s partner. As you already know, Deluca is a member of the Coeymans police department and a local ringleader of the Coeymanazis. Deluca has a reputation for stymying investigations, for making nutty statements, and allegedly for misusing privileged information; he’s also a scofflaw, which is just what we need on the police force, and may have committed misdemeanor adultery under current New York state law when he was servicing Cathy, while he was still married! There are also speculations that he may have misused information and information access available to police departments and police officers. The list could go on but that’s another article.

Gregory Darlington has “allegedly” held up a number of investigations

Jerry Deluca

The investigation of the criminal allegations against Cathy Deluca is being handled by the Coeymans Police Department, which is headed by Gregory Darlington, whose wife is a secretary in P. David Soares’, Albany County District Attorney, office. Nancy and Hal Warner’s daughter is “allegedly” a lawyer working in the Albany Co. DA’s office. Gregory Darlington has “allegedly” held up a number of investigations for one reason or another—few of them credible—, usually because of his  incompetence, his ignorance or both (and the Coeymans taxpayers pay him more than $90K/year + benes!), and as Coeymans police chief, Darlington will probably be involved in the criminal investigation of the charges alleged against Cathy Deluca. Darlington and Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca are reportedly very cozy. So how cna Darlington allow an investigation of his buddy’s pet squeeze?  How’s that going to work? And let’s don’t forget Kerry Thompson, who was made Darlington’s “administrative assistant” at more than $31.00/hr. Don’t think he’s so clean, either. Even if Darlington turns the investigation over to him, Thompson’s married to Darlington’s sister!!!

Darlington and Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca are reportedly very cozy.

The criminal allegations against Cathy Deluca will probably be stonewalled by the political interests involved, especially since Ravena trustees Martin Case and William Bailey have their eyes on higher local political office, particularly Marty Case who wants to be Coeymans supervisor. Do you think there may be something to Cathy Deluca’s getting the $30K director position in the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, her husband’s connections with the Coeymans Police Department and the town of Coeymans, the local democrat machine, and the Ravena trustees’ targeting the Coeymans supervisor’s office? Will Coeymans become another ghost town like Ravena if mayor Bruno’s pet cockroach, Marty Case, gets to be supervisor?

Speaking of Martin “Marty” Case, a teacher at the RCS high-school, there’s a lot of skeletons in that closet. There’s word around that there was some incident in a recent field trip where Case was supposed to be supervising students but left his post to party. Is it true? Let’s hope its being investigated! And let’s not forget the reports of Marty Case’s illegal activities electioneering for the local sports association in the school.  Is this being investigated, Dr McCartney? Again, these people have no ethics, morals, or common sense and yet this community elects them to lead the community…to hell.

The a history of animosity between the Ravena Bruno regime and the town of Coeymans that’s been plaguing this community for decades is common knowledge. Maybe, now with John Bruno planning to run again for re-election—Why won’t that mummy just roll over and retire?—his little minions Bill Bailey and Marty Case are planning to infiltrate the town of Coeymans and hand it over to the godfather, John Bruno. Yeah! Cathy Deluca gets the job of director of the RHFC and Bruno gets to put his little puppet Marty Case  in the executive’s chair in the Coeymans town hall. Steve Flach, are you listening? Praying?

Attorneys, Gregory Teresi (and dear ol’ dad Joe Teresi), Michael Biscone, Joe Rotello, and Louis Neri are all in bed together

They’re All In Bed Together!!!

It makes skinny dipping in a shark tank seem attractive, even safer…

Now, since the Coeymans Police are investigating the criminal allegations against Cathy Deluca, the complaint will be reviewed by Coeymans town attorney—Guess who?—Yes! Gregory Teresi, son of twice (at least) disciplined democrat NY supreme court judge, Joe Teresi, who was also formerly a Coeymans town attorney.  Gregory Teresi is Ravena village attorney AND Coeymans town attorney!  Do you want to talk about conflict of interests? Gregory Teresi, unless he has the ethics and the good sense to recuse himself, is the keystone to saving Cathy Deluca’s broad bottom: First of all, he would be the one to review the criminal charges against Cathy Deluca and decide whether or not to prosecute. Then he will probably—unless Michael Biscone bumps him—to handle the Notice of Claim, the 50-h hearings, and the planned lawsuit against the village of Ravena and Cathy Deluca. These attorneys, Gregory Teresi, Michael Biscone, Joe Rotello—now a clerk with the 3rd District Appellate Court that is responsible for attorney discipline—, and Louis Neri—a former partner in the Biscone law firm— are all in bed together.

So, when Greg Teresi’s pride and arrogance gets the best of him and he makes the stupid mistake of getting involved with the Deluca case, he’s going to face ethics charges of conflict of interest, and possibly because of his involvement with the Deluca case, there’ll also be charges of conspiracy and corruption. So go for it Greg! See if daddy Joe Teresi can save you! Joe Rotello (by the way, Rotello’s mother was a Persico making Joe Rotello one of the Ravena mafiosi) may not be so willing to jump in to pull you out and risk his reptilian neck, even though he’s cozy with Ravena and with daddy Joe Teresi. So you may be standing alone facing the scrutiny of the Appellate Division’s Committee on Professional Standards, and likely criminal charges, too!

O.K., say Gregory Darlington, Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca, Greg Teresi don’t manage to kill the criminal charges against Cathy Deluca. What then? What Coeymans town justice or Ravena village justice would be impartial and qualified to hear the case? Certainly not Harold “Hal” Warner, he’s stuck in this conspiracy like a stick in concrete with his wife, Nancy Warner, a trustee on the Ravena village board and so tightly wrapped around the Ravena Health and Fitness scandal she stinks of it and Cathy Deluca’s situation, a nuclear missile couldn’t separate them. Could George Dardiani, the former school cook, take the case? His wife’s a nurse in the RCS school district. They’re both too closely connected with the schools and with the teachers and employees of the schools. Dardiani hates to handle cases involving teachers. But get this, Martin Case is a teacher at the RCS high school and on the Ravena village board, and he’s planning to  run for the Coeymans town supervisor office. Rocco Persico is a psychologist at the RCS high school and on the Ravena village board.  Are you connecting the dots? George Dardiani—Mrs Nurse Dardiani—Martin Case—Rocco Persico—RCS Central School District—Matt-the-Mutt Miller—Teachers Union—RCS board of education—Fiends of RCS—Dirty Hands Jerry Deluca—Hal Warner—Nancy Warner—Cathy Deluca—mayor John Bruno…it’s what we call a circle-jerk: you do me, ill do who’s next, they’ll do you. Coeymans town justice Phillip Crandall doesn’t like confrontation and doesn’t like getting his hands dirty…or is he just plain cowardly? Who knows? But there isn’t one judge in Ravena or Coeymans who can hear the Deluca case, which is very bad for Cathy, because the case will have to go to a court outside Ravena or Coeymans, and the Coeymanazis will likely have a very difficult time getting an outside judge to play their little games. So it’s a Catch-22 for Cathy and her gang. If they publicly try to pull her out of this mess, they risk getting prosecuted; if they don’t try to pull her out, their little scam collapses around their ears! Poor crooks!

Soares
Albany County DA

 Now, throw the ethically derelict Albany County dem DA P[udenda] David Soares, a cog in the Albany democratic machine,  into this witches’ brew of shyster soup and it gets really toxic! Surprised? Shouldn’t be! Read our piece on the disappearing felonies (for a price) (Click on this link to read: Exposé: The Lost Felonies)!

Gregory Teresis is Ravena village attorney AND Coeymans town attorney! (So do you think he’s tainted? Compromised?)

Warner

So, in summary: Cathy Deluca gets a plum job with the village of Ravena. Ravena village trustees have their eyes glued to the supervisor’s office in Coeymans. Cathy Deluca’s husband is thick with the town of Coeymans and the Coeymans Police Department. The Coeymans Police Department is investigating the criminal allegations against the wife, Cathy Deluca, of one of its own, Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca, and Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington, a cozy friend of Deluca,  will likely oversee the investigation. Whether the case will be prosecuted is subject to review by Greg Teresi, who is both Ravena village attorney and the Coeymans town attorney, Greg Teresi who has close connections with the Delucas and with the village of Ravena, and Ravena attorney Michael Biscone. Do you think any of these dingbats will have the good sense to recuse themselves from the investigation, from the case? Not very lkely because if any link in this criminally corrupt chain fails to do his/her part, the whole house of cards collapses, and so does the power structure. There’s a lot at stake here. Just follow the money!

If any link in this criminally corrupt chain fails to do his/her part, the whole house of cards collapses, and so does the power structure….

So where do you think the criminal investigation against Cathy Deluca is likely to end up? Wherever it ends up, there’ll be a trail to follow. And then we’ll investigate to find out who is steering state and federal law enforcement away from this cesspool of local corruption in Ravena-Coeymans public office and who’s protecting whom from the feds. Let’s see how far the civil right violations, now public and unavoidable, travel up the ladder. Where the case stops is where we start digging.

But now we’re looking at going after Shop’n Save for violating two candidates’ First Amendment rights and preventing them from legitimate expressive activity in a public place. You may think free speech has been dead and buried in the RCS district for decades but it’s now rising up fast and with a vengeance! (If you don’t know what we’re talking about, please read “Latter-Hyslop-Brown’s Miss Piggies: “We’ll never shop here again!“)

[Editor's Note: Because of the nature of the public corruption and the protected rights violations, the papers will be forwarded to the FBI for evaluation and investigation. This has become a civil-rights case already, and will very likely involve federal authorities in addition to state agencies once it gets their notice and it will get their notice.]

Please standby and be patient. Scanning the legal papers takes some time but we promise to publich them as soon as we can.

And Not A Minute Too Soon!
