Frank Navarra didn’t expect to be a judge at the start of his career. (Does anyone?) He was a City of Newburgh policeman, who moved up the ladder quickly when a third of his colleagues were indicted. He was a deputy commissioner at 26, and later gave up that title to become a captain.

Marty Sauer was in Town Court yesterday to answer a July 21 charge of soliciting without a permit. The police had arrested Mr. Sauer after he refused to move his vegetable truck from its traditional location on Route 32.
