KAUNEONGA LAKE - Six people have been convicted of trespassing on the Woodstock site this summer.

Woodstock Nation members Abigail Storm; her husband, Daniel Eggink; their daughter, Cynthia; their friend, Joseph Anderson; and his two children, Joy and Jay Debberman, were each found guilty last week by Bethel Town Justice Albert Fimognari.

The maximum penalty each of them could receive at their Oct. 27 sentencing is a $250 fine and 15 days in jail.

Monday, Storm pledged to appeal the conviction and continue their fight to keep the Hurd Road site open to the public.

''We have every reason to pursue our innocence because we are innocent,'' she said. ''This is about protecting the rights of the people who gave that land value.''

At their trial last month, Assistant District Attorney Joey Drillings claimed the six knowingly trespassed on the site by camping out there in the days leading up to the anniversary of the 1969 concert.

Their lawyer, Richard Newberg, argued that Alan Gerry and his company had no right to bar people from the land because he wasn't the property's rightful owner.

Newberg questioned whether Gerry and his company, Granite Associates, has title to the site because the deed indicates that June Gelish transferred it to Gelish Realty, a limited-liability company with the same Brooklyn address as hers.

Gelish reportedly sold the property a year ago to Gerry for more than $1 million. But Newberg noted that the deed indicated that the purchase price was zero.

Granite Vice President Darrell Supak testified that the company had a right to bar people from remaining on the property overnight because it is a member of Gelish Realty. But when asked who was president of Gelish Realty, Supak, its vice president, said he wasn't sure.

Records list June Gelish, who has since died, as the company's sole owner, and indicate that Gelish Realty wasn't incorporated until September 1996, two months after the property was transferred to the company, Storm said.

This summer, Newberg filed a complaint noting that a Brooklyn judge had barred Gelish from selling the property.

Even if Gerry does own the land, the lawyer said, the defendants had a right to be there because it is private land that the public has used for nearly three decades.

Gerry had also invited people this summer, Newberg noted, and signs that Granite posted had been repeatedly torn down.

Gerry had initially met with Storm and Eggink at Gerry's Liberty headquarters soon after the pilgrims set up camp on the property. At that time, both sides were confident a compromise could be reached. The arrests followed soon after.
