Prospective members are to collide their vehicles into random vehicles from behind. As the driver of the victim vehicle exits, the prospective members will open fire. This information has not been substantiated nor do we know if it is credible. As always, the Delano Police Department is concerened with the safety of all Delano residents and therefore, we are strongly suggesting that everyone use extreme caution if they are involved...

There's been an arrest in the murder of one of the two sisters, both dead in the same house and within a week of each other. The perp was arrested for killing his wife but did he kill her sister too? Some info on the naked man in Times Square, a good Samaritan leaves a dangerous unknown substance at the scene and was the child molested on the airplane or is someone looking for a payoff?

As widely expected, Mrs. Clinton soundly defeated her Democratic opponent, Jonathan Tasini, based on unofficial returns. With 98 percent of precincts reporting, Mr. Spencer had 60.2 percent of the vote, to Ms. McFarland’s 39.8 percent. The Republican race, which devolved into personal attacks involving marital infidelity, out-of-wedlock children, mental stability and personal revelations about past parental abuse, inspired little turnout. Last night, during his...

In a statement, McFarland says the decision follows her daughter's shoplifting arrest on Long Island. McFarland's spokesperson says she is be no means dropping out of the race, just taking time off to deal with the situation with her daughter, Camilla. The 16-year old was arrested on Saturday, caught shoplifting from two stores in Suffolk County. Camilla McFarland has been charged with two counts each of petty theft and possession of stolen goods. In a statement, McFarland says: "My...

Kathleen Troia McFarland, a former official in the Reagan-era Pentagon, repeatedly hammered John Spencer, a former mayor of Yonkers, for having an extramarital affair with a city employee while he was mayor, having relatives on the city payroll, and raising property taxes. Mr. Spencer fought back, accusing her of distorting his record with “lies and innuendos and half-truths” while ignoring...

Hillary Rodham Clinton this fall tore into each other Wednesday in a debate dominated by angry accusations of personal and professional misconduct and abject dishonesty. From the early minutes of the hourlong forum sponsored by all news cable channel NY1, former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer found himself repeatedly on the defensive about his unconventional private life and its impact on his tenure as mayor from 1996 to 2004. While married to another woman, Spencer fathered two children with his then-chief of staff and substantially raised her salary. He eventually divorced...

Spencer, former mayor of Yonkers, drew the backing of 36% of Republicans, leaving McFarland in the dust at 15%, according to the poll released yesterday by Marist College and WNBC. But 49% of Republican voters remain undecided with less than two months to go to the primary election that will determine which of the two will face Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) in November.

"It's a complete fabrication," McFarland's brother, Tom Troia, told the New York Post in an interview published Thursday. "If I had one word to describe my sister, it would be "evil.'

But an aide to McFarland's GOP primary rival, former Yonkers mayor John Spencer, dismissed the move as "desperate" and said it would only help Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton win re-election.

Add to that some charges of nepotism. And for good measure, throw in a top aide who pleaded guilty to sodomizing a 15-year-old boy. It is not a soap opera. It is opposition research, the dark political art known to practitioners simply as "oppo."

Hillary Rodham Clinton. Things got off to a promising start in early March, with favorable publicity and several national TV interviews for the wealthy, 54-year-old McFarland, a Reagan-era Pentagon official who spent the last 20 years raising a family and has never held elective office. But then McFarland was hit with embarrassing disclosures about her voting history, including her registering in two places and missing several elections. Records suggest she did not even vote in 1984, when Reagan, her...

Challenger to Clinton Inflated Résumé, Records and Interviews Suggest By RAYMOND HERNANDEZ When Kathleen Troia McFarland stepped forward as a Republican challenger to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, she was a relatively obscure figure with two intriguing claims to fame: She had worked on President Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" speech and had been the highest-ranking woman at the Reagan Pentagon. But interviews with former Reagan administration officials and a review of documents show her claims were not entirely accurate. Though she helped write the "Star Wars" speech, its most famous passage — the one that announced the...

"This will definitely come up during her campaign because I, for one, will bring it up," the Rev. Duane Motley, leader of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, told The Post. "This will hurt her because probably the largest block of voters in the country are evangelical, and a significant number of them are in New York," said Motley, who described his group as the state's largest association of evangelical Christians, with 2,000...
