The DEC doesn't consider junked household appliances to be hazardous waste because the amount of PCBs they contain are "miniscule and infrequent," Grone-man said, yet the DEC must yield to the EPA ruling. To create more space at the landfill and generate more revenue, the town is also increasing the fee for dumping tires as well as appliances. The fee to dump appliances is based on weight.

The average cost to dump each piece will increase to about $5, Phillips said.

"I left because I saw what was going to happen," he said. "It just wasn't working.

There was no question." Cody said money was indeed a problem. "We were in debt from Day 1," he said. "And it wasn't because there weren't people there There were guys there generating But when you start with 25, 26 attorneys, leasing that amount of space, and then expanding into Westchester, Cody blames poor management and undercapitalization for the law firm's demise. "I'm not a manager. I'm a negligence man, a trial lawyer," says Cody.

"Lawyers can sometimes be the worst businessmen in the world." Ferraro and Dranoff say they didn't closely follow the day-to-day business operations. They had an office manager do that, and were satisfied. The annual rent of about $350,000 for about half the ninth floor wasn't a strain, they say. "We started to pick up cases of significance in Westchester," Ferraro said in explaining the branch office. "People there didn't want to travel across the bridge.

"The firm certainly does owe money," Ferraro added, "like every business does. But the money coming in must be five to ten times what is owed." They said that at any one time there were 400 to 500 divorce cases OBITUARIES Elliott Sisco, Elliott N.

Ramundo won election in 1986 to the year remaining on Grant's Legislature term, and then was reelected to a full four-year term in 1987. "I envisioned when Pete came into the game that he would end up in a high position in politics, maybe the state Senate or the Assembly," said Rotella, also a Democratic county legislator. "I hate to lose him." The post of county legislator is a part-time job.

While Ramundo said he is no longer a real estate broker, he is a partner with Frank McGo-wan in owning the T.J. McGowan Sons Funeral Home in Haverstraw and the Hugh E. White Funeral Home in Nyack and Congers. Ramundo said he will remain in the funeral home business and intends to remain in Haverstraw with his wife, Mary Ellen. "Pete Ramundo has been a good representative for Haverstraw and he was also the type who was not strictly parochial," said Grant.

"He could look what is good for the county as a whole." Legislature Chairman Edward Gorman, D-Ramapo, said Ramundo is widely respected in the 21-mem-ber Legislature because of his work studying the MTA. A committee led by Ramundo recommended in March that Rockland withdraw from the MTA because the county was paying $18 million in taxes for only $3 million in commuter railroad services. A vote by the Legislature to withdraw led the MTA to offer a $5 million incentive package for Rockland to stay in the agency. The Legislature accepted the deal on the advice of Ramundo and Grant. District Attorney Kenneth Gri- Arthur Ferraro everthing 'very being handled, as well as another 1,400 general practice matters.

Citing ethics, Dranoff wouldn't reveal prominent divorces he's tried. But the firm's other clients are public record. They include Citibank, TKR Cable, the towns of Orangetown, Stony Point, Tuxedo in Orange County, the village of Buchanan in Westchester, the Orange County Deputy Sheriffs' Association, Rockland correction officers, and many builders and developers. Ferraro and Dranoff say the practice itself was the reason for the breakup. It was really two law firms from its inception: a divorce practice and a general practice.

It will still be that, they said, but not under one roof. "What it came down to," says Dranoff, "was that we were running two different law firms." "I think the county can handle bigger law firms," said Ferraro, "but it has to be done in such a way everyone can pitch in so each section can feed off the others." was active He lived in Nyack until moving to Daisy Avenue in Upper Nyack.

I am one who has been involved with politics all his Peter Ramundo betz, one of Rockland's ranking Democrats, said he tried to convince Ramundo to remain in the Legislature. "Pete happens to be one of the brightest and finest people I've met in politics," said Gribetz. "He has a deep understanding of government." County Finance Commissioner Harold Peterson, a Clarkstown Democrat, described Ramundo as a "legislator who had always done his homework on each and every issue he voted on." Rotella and county Democratic Party Chairman Vincent Monte said they do not know who will replace Ramundo in the Legislature. The Legislature fills mid-term vacancies by appointment.

Since the lawmaking body is controlled by the Democratic Party, Haverstraw Democrats get to recommend their choice for filling Ramundo's seat. The person appointed to the seat would have to run for election next November to fill the remainder of Ramundo's term. Although no formal discussions have taken place to select a replacement for Ramundo, county political leaders say that Haverstraw Town Board member James T. Schuler is a leading candidate.
