Life of Local
Businessman
SIDNEY – An accident last
Wednesday morning took the
life of Ralph Cuozzo Sr., 74,
founder of the Unadilla company that bears his initials – R.C.
Sales & Service.
According to state police, the
company’s 2004 International
flatbed tow truck Cuozzo was
driving collided with Bellevue Lumber Company’s 2000
Freightliner truck being operated by Codey Lambrecht, 21,
of Sidney Center.
The troopers’ initial investigation indicated that Cuozzo
rounded a curve, drifted into the
oncoming lane and struck the
lumber truck head-on. Both vehicles came to rest in a ditch and
the tow truck’s cab caught fire.
The Sidney Fire Department extinguished the fire.
The accident took place just
south of the Sidney Golf and
Country Club near the intersection of Delaware Co. Rte. 4 and
Wood Road.
Troopers said Cuozzo was
declared dead at the scene by
Delaware County Coroner Dr.
Richard Ucci. On Tuesday,
State Police said the autopsy results were pending.
Lambrecht suffered a head
injury and was transported to
Wilson Hospital in Johnson
City. His injury was not life
threatening, troopers said.
The investigation is ongoing
by the state police and their accident reconstruction unit.

Police Arrest Six Locals
On Drug Dealing Charges
SIDNEY - Six Sidney area
residents were arrested on drug
trafficking charges Friday evening by members of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office,
Sidney Village Police Department and the New York State
Police. All were remanded to
the Delaware County Correctional Facility without bail.
The arrests are the culmination of a five-month-long
narcotics investigation conducted by members of the
Delaware County Sheriff’s
Office Criminal Investigation
Division and Village of Sidney Police Department with
the assistance of the Delaware
County Probation Department
and following the execution
of a search warrant on County
Highway 23 in the Town of
Sidney.
On Friday afternoon Delaware County Sheriff’s Investigators obtained sealed grand
jury indictment warrants for
five individuals following a
narcotics investigation that
focused on the sales of heroin, cocaine and prescription
controlled substances by a
number of individuals in the
Village and Town of Sidney
between June and October of
this year.
Upon arriving at the Gabriel Bonacci residence located
on County Highway 23 in the
Town of Sidney, investigators
arrested Gabriel V. Bonacci,
43, on a sealed indictment
warrant charging him with two
counts of third degree criminal
sale of a controlled substance

a box containing a scale and a
variety of controlled substances packaged for sale, including cocaine, heroin, hundreds
of prescription drugs and marijuana. She was arrested while
attempting to flee the resi-
dence with those substances.
As a result of the arrests,
investigators obtained and
executed a search warrant at
the Gabriel Bonacci residence
that led to the seizure of more
than $6,500 cash, over 400
ounces of .999 pure silver bars
valued in excess of $7,000, a
realistic, blank firing replica
handgun and fireworks.
Gabriel Bonacci, who was
previously convicted of third
degree criminal sale of a
controlled substance in April
1998, is accused of selling
heroin in the Town of Sidney
on two occasions during July
of this year.
Rene Hurlburt is accused of
selling cocaine in the Village
of Sidney on three occasions
during June of this year.
Also arrested on sealed indictment warrants Friday evening were:
Belinda Davis, 53, Sidney.
Davis is charged with three
counts of third degree criminal
sale of a controlled substance,
each a class B felony. She is
accused of selling oxycodone
in the Village of Sidney on
three occasions during the
month of July.
Randal L. Babcock, Jr., 32,
of Sidney. Babcock is charged
with fifth degree criminal sale
of a controlled substance. He
is accused of selling xanax in
the Village of Sidney in July
of this year.
Chad D. Walters, 34,
of Mount Upton. Walters is
charged with third degree
criminal sale of a controlled
substance, a class B felony.
He is accused of selling oxycodone in the Village of Sidney in July of this year.

Court before the Honorable
Steven Rose and was remanded to the Delaware County
Correctional Facility without
bail pending further court
action.
Gabriel Bonacci was arraigned in Delaware County
Court on Monday before the
Honorable Carl F. Becker and

remanded to the Delaware
County Correctional Facility
in lieu of $25,000 cash bail
pending further court action.

pending further court action.
Sheriff’s
Investigators
anticipate an additional arrest and felony drug charges
will be forthcoming in the
very near future relating to
the Friday night search warrant execution of the Bonacci
residence.
Undersheriff Craig DuMond said, “Sheriff Mills and
I are very proud of the diligent
work of our criminal investigators as well as the collaborative teamwork with members
of the Sidney Police Department, NYS Police, Delaware
County Probation Department
and Office of the District Attorney. We will continue to
work tirelessly and deliberatively to remove these evil
drug dealers from our communities within and around
Delaware County. We will not
stop until we accomplish our
mission.”

Thank You!
Back-of-Bobs Ice Cream Shop would like to thank all
those who so generously helped us support area
veteran’ groups this past summer as you attended our
bi-weekly cruise-ins. Due to the generosity of all those
who came, supported, and contributed, whether by
purchasing a raffle ticket, or donating back the
winnings, we were able to make donations to four area
veterans associations: DAV (Disabled American
Veterans) Chapter 200, Bainbridge American Legion,
Sidney Veterans Memorial Park, and the Norwich
American Legion. We believe supporting our veterans
should be a priority whenever possible. Again, thank
you for helping us in this endeavor, and we’ll hope (with
better weather) that next year will be an even bigger
success in supporting those who so unselfishly
devoted their lives to protecting us.

ested buyers can place silent
bids until noon on Sunday.
Activities also include a fashion show, fiber arts demonstrations, fleece competition,
and new Vendor Way with everything from alpaca-specific
farm supplies to yarn, batts,
sheared fleeces, socks, sweaters and handcrafted goods.
Youth activities will include
hands-on fiber crafts and demonstrations. The Sunday afternoon show schedule includes
performance, obstacle, and
costume classes.
Alpacas, native to the South
American Andes Mountain region, are raised for their luxurious and durable fiber that is
highly prized by the garment
industry, crafters and artisans,
and people who prefer natural
fibers but are allergic to wool.
The teddy bear-like Huacaya
alpacas account for 99 per-
cent of the alpaca population;
Suri alpacas have silken fiber
dreadlocks that grow up to 15
inches long. American alpaca
enterprises developed with the
first animal imports into the
U.S. in 1982. A business model that does not allow artificial
insemination helps maintain
animal breeding and sales values which can be worth several thousand dollars.
Sixteen NY farms formed
the Empire Alpaca Association/EAA in 2002 following
the first Empire Alpaca Extravaganza show event. The
association now has members
ranging from small farms to
some of the largest in the U.S.
The EAA is the first affiliate
of the Alpaca Owners and
Breeders Association to create
a Code of Ethics. Find more

Nature Photographer to Show
Work in Town Hall Gallery Oct. 25
BAINBRIDGE - On Saturday, Oct. 25 The Jericho Arts
Council proudly hosts nature
photographer Christa Boice in
their gallery. Christa is from
Marathon and began her professional photographic career
in the spring of 2010. She
is a member of the Cultural
Council of Cortland County,
which hosts an ongoing display of artwork in the gallery
at Hope Lake Lodge in Virgil.
Year-round, Christa displays
her works of local origin that
are appealing to the guests, as
well as the staff. She has also
participated in Cortland’s First
Friday with solo shows at Empire 41, the YWCA, and the
Blue Frog Cafe, and also at
the Connelly Gallery in Binghamton for First Friday.
Other solo shows featuring her macro, landscape, and
waterfall photography include
the Dryden Community Cafe,
the Cortland Free Library,
and The Mariea Brown and
Raymond Loft Galleries at
the Chenango Arts Council
in Norwich. She has received
awards for various photographs, and has placed second
in the Jericho Arts Council
Fine Arts show for her photo
titled Stargazer in 2013.
This self-taught artist has
found her passion in capturing
the beauty of God’s creation,
and sharing it with others.
Many times during the year
she takes her photography
business, Capturing His Creation, to area fairs and festivals. Living in Upstate N.Y.
has provided many opportunities for her to photograph
everything from delicate dragonflies to majestic summer
clouds, and so many beautiful
parks and waterfalls in our
area. Fillmore Glen State Park
in Moravia, as well as Tinker
Falls in Truxton are two of her
favorite places in our region
to take photographs. Each
change of the seasons provides an excellent opportunity
to find the unique beauty that
emerges before her eyes.

the Bainbridge Town Hall, 15
North Main St., Bainbridge.

Julie. Scott Hopkins joined the
group in the summer of 2012,
bringing a driving banjo style
and, at times, adding a third
part harmony to the group.
The addition of the banjo
brought a much more traditional bluegrass sound to
Beartracks, although you will
still hear some Hank and Merle in their sets. Finally, in late
July 2013, the perfect fourth
bear was located at a festival
in Danby, Vt. Harry Ralph,
an extraordinary fiddle player
and a great person, decided to
accept the offer to become a
permanent member of Beartracks. It is evident to all who
see Beartracks perform that
the members of Beartracks
love the music, each other and

addition of a new pool table to
the local billiards hall.
Harold Hill, a traveling
salesman played by Gabe DeJoseph, convinces the townspeople to buy instruments and
instruction books to form the
River City boys’ band. His
suave words and broad actions
present the claim that this
band will keep the children
out of this ‘Trouble’ that will
be caused by the pool table.
The
skeptical
Marian
Paroo, played by Alyssa Perillo, is not amused by Harold’s
salesmanship or his romantic
advances. Just as Marian is
about to expose him as a conman, the Wells Fargo Wagon
shows up to deliver the band
instruments.
After Winthrop, played by
Payton Haney, receives his
trumpet, Marian has a decision
to make. Will Marian expose
Harold? Will the River City
boys’ band have 76 trombones
to lead the big parade? Come
to Unatego Jr./Sr. High School
and find out.
The show will also feature
Alina Alfonsi as Mrs. Paroo,
McKenzie Wetmore and Stephen DeForest as the Shinns,
Cynthia Johnson as Zaneeta
and Greg Sears as Charlie
Cowell.
The show will run Friday,
Oct. 24 and Saturday, Oct. 25
at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 26
at 2 p.m. in the Unatego High

A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
There are probably some disappointed readers among you
who are looking for your letter to the editor on this page.
With a hotly contested race for a seat on the Sidney Town
Council to be decided on Nov. 4, apparently the campaign
strategies are to flood the newspaper with letters to the
editor.
The election should not be decided by which candidate can
mount the larger letter writing campaign so I’ve limited the
letters to one apiece for each candidate, and chose the letters that best encompass the ideas expressed by all the letter
writers.
If you feel that strongly about your candidate you can buy
advertising space in next week’s issue. I know some of you
bought lots of commercial time on the local radio station.
— Kenneth S. Paden
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Election Is Critical
To Sidney’s Direction
I am pleased to report that
since January of this year,
under the leadership of our
new Town Supervisor Gene
Pigford, the town board meetings have been conducted
with civility and respect. In
addition to conducting normal
business, we have been able to
implement new procedures for
purchasing of materials and
services at the hospital, East
Sidney Lake and the highway
department for greater accountability and controlling of
spending. The proposed new
procedures were met with
some resistance but fortunately we were able to accomplish
these important changes.
The town has furnished a
letter of support for the Constitution pipeline recognizing
that there are some drawbacks
to the project, especially the
impact on the landowners directly affected, but we expect
them to get a fair shake in negotiations and to be treated
with respect by the pipeline
company. At the same time
we are trying to provide our
residents with natural gas for
heating their homes, for businesses like so many of our
neighboring communities and
communities throughout the
country have, and for the energy needs of our industry that
we depend on for jobs and
maintaining our tax base.
Also under supervisor Pigford’s leadership, the town has
recently approved a preliminary budget for 2015 holding
the tax increase to 1.56% for
our taxpayers.
This election is critical in
terms of the direction Sidney
will be taking in the future
including the hospital, our finances, and the ability to obtain natural gas for our homes
and businesses. The town,
through the Sidney Town
Planning Board is also working on a new comprehensive
zoning local law that will affect every parcel of land in the
town outside of the village.
This code, if adopted by the
Sidney Town Board, will further restrict what your property
can or cannot be used for and
what criteria you would have
to meet to comply with the
code. Having Jody Proffitt on
the town board to insure fairness can be an asset when this
comes before the board. These
are just a few of the issues before the board at this time or
expected in the near future but
they are important to all residents of the town inside and
outside of the village.
Selecting the wrong person
for the Sidney Town Council
could stymie further efforts in
jobs retention and economic
development as well as accountability for town spending
of taxpayers’ money. Don’t be
misled by talk like “let’s work
together” when that’s all it is,
talk or the use of red, white
and blue colors. They showed
their true colors in their attempt to win the last election.
We need a person who can be
relied upon to further our best
interests (not those of a special
interest group), who will live
by the rules (not above them),
who is willing to attend to all
of the issues that are now or
will come before the board in
the future (not to one agenda
item) and who represents our
rural values. If you care about
controlling spending, protecting jobs and being able to
trust your representatives to
do right by you, vote for the
person who cares about you.
Please vote for Jody Proffitt
on Nov. 4. Don’t leave the
future of the Town of Sidney
to chance. Jody has the unanimous endorsement of the Sidney Republican Committee

will give her your support on

Susan Sklenarik
Sidney
Loddie Marsh Will Be
Quiet Voice of Reason
For the fourth time in as
many years, the Town of Sidney will be having a race for
a seat on the town board. As
chairman of the Sidney Democratic Committee, I have been
questioned on numerous occasions why would our committee endorse Loddie Marsh, a
Republican.
For the past several years
we have seen the town, and
subsequently the committee,
become highly politicized. To
resolve the many issues facing
our community, it is necessary to elect someone who can
be the quiet voice of reason.
When asked what she would
like to have as the party name
for the independent line, Loddie chose, “Building Community.” Undoubtedly you have
seen the large signs around
the village and town with both
an elephant and a donkey pictured, along with the notation,
“Let’s work together.” Our
committee wanted to endorse
a candidate whom we felt was
the most qualified to represent
all the people of Sidney.
We need to have a candidate elected to the town board
who is committed to the spirit
of cooperation, and Loddie is
that sort of person. When faced
with an issue, she will learn all
the facts she can before taking
a position. She is committed
to helping preserve the quality of life we enjoy in Sidney
by educating herself about the
continued safety of our wa-
CORRECTION
In last week’s edition we
ran a Letter to the Editor from
Willard C. Dann in support of
Sidney Town Council candidate Loddie Marsh. Unfortunately we made a typographical error. The paragraph that
contained the error should
have read:
“I’m wholeheartedly supporting her as the person we
want because she knows the
issues and she has the interest, intelligence, experience
and enthusiasm to work in addressing the problems facing
the council today.”

At the last Sidney School
Board meeting we learned that
our students had greatly improved their test scores. Well
done!
However, for this each administrator was given at least
a $5,000 bonus.
I would like to know how
these bonuses will be given back to the teachers and
students who made them
possible.
We know the administrators
will make the right choices for
the allocation of their bonuses
(our tax payers’ money) to
benefit our students.
We’re looking forward
to our students’ continuing
successes with the help of

UNADILLA
55 YEARS AGO
October 23, 1959
Unadilla residents were
stunned by the tragic results
of a home fire which occurred
at 4 a.m. Saturday morning
at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Norman Cummings on
Martin Brook St. in this village. While it was generally
believed that the couple would
survive the first, second and
third degree burns from the ordeal, the couple passed away
Sunday morning, leaving their
18 month old daughter, who
also suffered from smoke inhalation and severe burns.
Oct. 20, 1939 – When any
Saturday’s sun is well over
the eastern hills, the rumble of
varied trucks, livestock laden,
may be heard as they steer for
the farmer’s mecca at the top
of Maple Ave. hill. Starting
shortly over two years ago,
August 1937, David Chambers has put Unadilla on the
map as a farm-trading center.
Anything from the farm is eligible for this auction and within the vendue house, where

possible customers there are at

But we took it in stride.
We called our own fuel provider, Boulder Oil Company
of Unadilla. After explaining
the situation, the owner himself showed up in the rain and
hooked everything up.
The day after the clambake
it was all taken back. When
the bill came in the mail it
said, “Seeing as how you were
put into such a tough situation,
don’t worry about it! Thanks
for doing business with us.”
Wow. No charge at all. From
now on Bob Couse and Boulder Oil Company will always
have our business. In this day

a company that does business

we remembered that no one
had called the Mirabito Fuel

of the world, but definitely a
mistake.
Much to our dismay, when
we called Mirabito they said,
“No. You don’t get your fuel
oil or propane from us as a
customer so we won’t do it.”
We were quite shocked. It
was for the Sidney Fire Department, not for the Elks.
Not a smart business move

OCTOBER 2014
Last week I used a print
from a glass plate negative
taken by Julian Campbell.
This week the picture is by
the same photographer, who
lived in Binghamton. His son
Bruce sent me prints as Town
Historian in 1999.
This week’s picture shows
the west side of Main Street
as it looked in about 1913.
There is not much difference
in the looks of the buildings
except for the change in winWest side of Main Street. Print from glass plate by Julian

of 1890 would recognize the
scene if they travelled the
street today. All of these brick buildings were erected after a fire in about 1885 which destroyed the
wooden structure on the site. The fire at the Afton Inn, when owned by Dave and Avelda Daly in 1942,
damaged the building so that the roofline was changed and the portico in front was removed.
The corner building in 1913 housed the Church and Hill Bank. Marshall Hill, was a former store
owner and later owner of the Afton Inn. He and Fred and George Church were president, vice president, and cashier, in that order. The bank failed after World War I and was succeeded by the First
National Bank of Afton, now NBT.
The next section is the office of the Rinker Agency which sells insurance of all sorts. The building
has had a succession of tenants, including Keator’s Store.
The third section is the headquarters of the V.F.W. Post 3529. It is very active in the community and
serves breakfast and barbecues to the public. Previously it was the home of the Afton Grange, now
defunct.
The fourth section is now the office of Grace Lee who sells health insurance and advises people
about their needs. In 1913 the building was the general store of George F. Decker. He sold a varied
type of merchandise. This building was erected a few years after the others and is a little different in
style.
The Afton Inn, across Daly Drive, is in a different block from the brick stores. It has had three disastrous fires: 1877, 1898, and 1942. Each time it has been rebuilt or repaired.

few.” I guess we all should think
about that one, the more wants
we have the more debt we can

probably get along without it
anyway,” could sure save us a

CELLIST DAVID GIBSON practices for his Oct. 25 performance at the Empire House Restaurant in Gilbertsville.
He will begin playing at 6 p.m. Reservations are recommended and may be made at 783-2859.
Cellist Provides Unique Music
Experiences for Gilbertsville Area
by Teresa Winchester
GILBERTSVILLE - Cellist
David Gibson may be retired
from university teaching, but
his cello is alive and well these
days in Gilbertsville where he
is teaching private students
and also performing locally.
His next concert at the Empire
House Restaurant is on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m.
Gibson arrived with his
wife Kathryn in 2010. He had
just retired from his position
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he conducted
the orchestra, devised a music
history, theory and chamber
music program, and created a
music minor.
For Gibson, the prospect of
retirement was appealing because he wanted to do what he
had done in his “former life”
– teach the cello. He got to
work doing just that soon after
his move here. He currently
has three students in Gilbertsville and another eight or so in
Harlemville.
Besides teaching, Gibson
has begun to perform concerts
that are free and open to the
general public on the fourth
Saturday of each month at
the Empire House Restaurant,
State Route 51, Gilbertsville.
A graduate of Juilliard and
Yale, he has taught cello privately and at Bennington and
Mount Holyoke Colleges, as
well as RPI. He has also performed as a soloist, conductor,
and chamber musician and
coach.
“I find his presentations
inspiring,” said Farrell Campbell. So inspired was the 77year-old Gilbertsville resident
that she recently purchased a
German-made pink violin and
intends to learn how to play it.
Gibson has already given her
a few tips, contrasting violin
and cello bowing techniques.
“There are four treacherous
pieces for the cello, and I’m
going to play three of them,”
he said.
Gibson was referring to
Boccherini’s Sonata No. 6 in
A major, Haydn’s Concerto in
D major, and Schubert’s Sonata in A minor.

SIDNEY - The Friends of
the Libraries are pleased to
present the Disney film “Million Dollar Arm” on Sunday,
Oct. 26 at 1:30 p.m. in the
Smart Room of the Sidney
Memorial Public Library.
The film is based on a true
story revolving around JB
Bernstein (Jon Hamm), a
once-successful sports agent
who finds himself edged out
by bigger competitors. JB and
his partner are precariously
close to bankruptcy when JB
comes up with a radical idea
while watching a late night
cricket match being played
in India. He decides to fly to
Mumbai and find his next
baseball pitching sensation.
He sets off with a cantankerous scout played by Alan
Arkin and stages a televised,
nationwide competition called
“Million Dollar Arm” where
40,000 hopefuls enroll. JB
brings not one, but two winners back to the states to train
with the legendary pitching
coach Tom House played by
Bill Paxton. The immediate
goal is to get the boys signed
to a major league team.
Adapting to American life
in the home of a confirmed
bachelor and adjusting the
boys’ swing from cricket to
baseball proves to be daunting. But the boys Rinku and
Dinesh do learn the finer
points of the culture and baseball, and they in turn teach JB
the true meaning of teamwork
and commitment.
“Million Dollar Arm” carries the reputation of Disney
productions. It is a “feel good”
film suitable for the whole
family. Join the Friends for a
pleasant afternoon viewing a
heartwarming story. As usual,
admission is free and complimentary popcorn and water
will be served.

A TRI-TOWN NEWS SPECIAL EDITION
Tools And Tricks To Tackle Tough,
Cold Weather Yard Work
You can cook up a kitchen that reflects the real you.
Tips To Help You Personalize Your Kitchen
(NAPS) - If your family is like most, it’s not
like any other, and your kitchen shouldn’t be
either. Every family has its own distinct requirements for the kitchen. Fortunately, a few
simple steps can help you personalize your
cooking and cleaning space to make it work
best for you.
Some ideas to personalize your kitchen
workspace:
• While a monochrome look can be sophisticated and serene, a few pops of
color in curtains, cushions, door and
drawer pulls can set it off and point it
up.
• Use your kitchen to show off your style.
If you collect saltshakers, say, display
them on open or glass-fronted shelves.
Display your grandmother’s famous pie
recipe in a frame.
• It’s a bright idea to look to the lighting.
There should be task lighting, accent
lighting to highlight a special feature,
and general overhead light. Try a bright
spotlight in the kitchen over the sink or
stove.
• Let that light shine on a sink you’ve customized to meet your needs. The Blanco
One collection offers three sinks and five
innovative accessory kits that combine
to create unique personalized solutions
for cooking, cleaning and organizing.
Start with the sink bowl. The Blanco One
base is available in three model sizes to
match your needs - XL Single, Super Single
and Medium bowls. The 9”-deep bowls are
easy to clean and created from high-quality
stainless steel with Blanco’s signature Satin
Polished Finish.
If you want to keep knives out of reach of
your kids, if you want a cutting board that lets
you clean, cut and save space, or if you live
in a small space and you don’t have coun-
ter space to both clean and prep, there’s a
Blanco One accessory just for you.
The Magnetic Sink Caddy holds cleaning
tools inside the sink; the Workstation holds
knives and utensils; an Ash Compound
Cutting Board fits to the sink to save space;
protective Custom Grids and a Multi-Level
Grid serve as an additional rack above the
base grid to protect the sink.
To make shopping easy, there are five convenient Blanco One accessory kits.
1. Organized - The space-saving caddy
holds cleaning tools and sponge while
the grid protects the sink.
2. Safety - The handy workstation keeps
sharp knives clean and out of harm’s
way and the grid protects the sink.
3. Prep - The incredibly thin and durable
cutting board fits to the sink to save
counter space and is paired with the
caddy.
4. Culinary - Create a personal prep station with the cutting board and convenient utensil workstation.
5. Multi-Level - Exclusively for the largest
bowl, this two-grid system offers a higher rack for prep and protective base.
With the right tools, it’s easy to personalize
your kitchen and make it work best for you.
To learn more and see the complete Blanco
One sink collection, go to www.blancoamerica.com.
(NAPSA)- An organized pantry that
blends beautifully with your home
can save you valuable time when
you’re entertaining or just serving
everyday family meals, advise
the experts at EasyClosets. For
organizing ideas, go to www.easy_
closets.com or call (800) 910-0129.
(NAPS) - The steps you take now to clean
up your yard and put it to bed for the next few
months can set the tone for a more productive spring.
Helpful Hints
Try these tips for an easier and greener
yard cleanup:
• Remove dead leaves and continue
to trim and mow your lawn. Trimming
grass at a slightly lower level and raking
up fallen leaves prevent matting under
debris and snow.
• Ready your lawn for next year. Prevent
weeds by seeding bare patches, but
give seed enough time to establish itself
before really cold weather sets in. Now
can also be the right time to fertilize to
give your lawn the nutrients it’ll need to
thrive next spring.
• Trim dead or diseased limbs. Stormdamaged or lifeless branches can endanger your home and property. Protect
trees and shrubs from further damage
by using a chain saw to cut cracked,
broken, loose or diseased limbs close to
the trunk or nearest branch. A cordless
pole saw is another option to safely trim
high branches without a ladder.
• Trim those hedges. Trimming hedges
can help them keep their shape until
they go dormant. Trim hedge sides at a
slight angle, with the widest part close
to ground level and tapering slightly at
the tip. This provides maximum sunlight
and reduces heavy hedges in the event
of storms and wind damage.
• Prepare your tools. Clean, sharp and
quality tools make it easier to tackle
tough yard tasks. Clean caked dirt and
debris from shovels and rakes and
sharpen chain saws, pole saws and
hedge trimmers. Consider new tools that
make yard work easier. For example,
there’s a new wave of lithium-ion batterypowered tools that make tackling yard
work easier than ever. Homeowners
no longer have to sacrifice power and
convenience with new cordless tools,
such as OREGON’s 40V MAX Cordless
Tool Systems. They have all the performance of gas-powered tools, minus the
hassles, and, because there’s no fuel to
spill or toxic emissions, battery-powered
tools are the environmentally friendly
landscaping choice.

Store Your Mower In Eight Easy Steps
(NAPS) - Chances are, your lawn mower
has been a faithful fair-weather companion.
So at the end of the mowing season, you
want to give it the attention it deserves.
Here are some tips on what you can do
now to be sure your mower will start easily
next mowing season.
• Make sure your operator’s manual is
on hand for quick reference whenever
you work on your mower or any such
equipment.
• Remove the spark plug lead wire
from the plug before doing any mower
maintenance, and tape or tie it out of the
way.
• Remove the battery and store it in a
cool, dry place away from gas cans, the
water heater or furnace.
• Change the oil. Old oil has lost much
of its ability to coat and protect engine
components, which could lead to damage down the road. Most people avoid
changing the oil in their lawn mower
because they think about having to tip
the mower over to drain the old oil. They
worry about spills in the driveway and
a mess of rags and cardboard to catch
spills. Oil removal kits make the process
easier and a lot less messy. For example, the Briggs & Stratton 1.6-liter oil
extractor pump has a long-reach hose
so oil can be extracted through filler or
dipstick holes. It is important to return
and recycle used oil at the proper collection center in your community.
• Clean your mower. Brush or hose off
leaves, grass and mud. Gently tip your
walk-behind mower on its side to spray
the underbody. If debris is caught on the
blade, use a stick or tool to remove it never use your hands.
• Use a fuel stabilizer. Never store your
lawn equipment with a partially full fuel
tank. Either run the equipment out of fuel
or use fuel stabilizer in a full tank of fuel.
Add Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment
and Stabilizer according to the package
directions.
Then - and this is important - run the mower
for a few minutes so the stabilizer circulates
through the carburetor. The stabilizer keeps
fuel fresh for up to six months. Turn off the
engine and completely fill the gas tank. A full
tank will help prevent moisture from condensing in the tank, which can form rust that could
break away and clog the carburetor.
• Store your mower in a
dry, protected place such
as your garage or a garden
shed. Never store it next to a
furnace, water heater or appliance with a pilot light.

Keeping the play area a safe place for kids can be simpler than many parents realize.
Playing It Safe In The Play Area
(NAPS) - Keeping the play area safe for
your offspring to run around and have fun in
can be easier if you heed a few hints:
1. Once your little one starts to stand,
he or she will likely try just about every
piece of furniture for support, so check
that each piece is sturdy and stable and
won’t tip over onto your child. You may
want to attach the furniture to the wall.
2. Make sure there’s enough storage
space. Toys on the floor can be a hazard, so encourage your kids to clean
up. That can be easier with lots of low,
open storage bins, baskets and shelves
so there’s little need to reach or climb.
Just remember, the furniture should
have smooth surfaces and rounded corners. If you use a toy chest, reinforce the
hinges so the lid will stay open in any
position, and won’t slam shut on a little
hand. Make sure the hinges can’t pinch
children, either. In addition, remove any
locks and drill a few air holes just in case
a child does get trapped inside.
3. When you get down to it, children
love to play on the floor, so make sure
it’s easy to keep clean and soft enough
when kids fall down. Non-slip rugs on
top of resilient or wood flooring can be
a nice option.
OVER
50
YEARS
4.
Stop shock risk. Use outlet plates and
covers to keep plug sockets safe from
probing fingers. Be sure the covers can’t
be easily removed and are too large
to become choking hazards if they are
pried out by toddlers. When replacing
receptacles, get the tamper-resistant
kind.
5. Childproof the windows. Use window
stops that will let the window open no
more than four inches and install window
guards so children can’t fall out. Just be
sure adults and older children can open
them easily in case of fire. Never depend on screens to keep children safe.
Open windows from the top whenever
possible and don’t put furniture the kids
can climb on close to any windows.
6. Replace older window coverings
with today’s safer products to avoid the
potential dangers posed to young children by window treatments with cords.
Alternatively, you can obtain free retrofit
kits from the Window Covering Safety
Council at www.windowcoverings.org to
make older products safer.
Window covering safety is a top priority
for Hunter Douglas. The window treatment
company offers a wide variety of product
operating systems that eliminate lift cords or
substantially reduce access
to them.

(NAPS)—When people think of ways to
live green and save energy in their homes,
the bathroom may not be the first place that
comes to mind. However, Carter Oosterhouse,
home and design expert, proves there are
several simple ways you can make a big difference in one of the most trafficked rooms
in your home.
1. Save Water with Every Flush. Put a
small plastic juice bottle or laundry soap
bottle in your toilet tank. First, soak off
the label, fill the bottle with water, replace the cap and place it in the tank.
Because the bottle is in the toilet tank,
less water is needed to fill the tank and
therefore less water will be flushed. Be
careful that the bottle doesn’t interfere
with the flushing mechanism, and with
five minutes work, you can save on or
two gallons per flush.
2. Purchase Green Products. You can
swap your traditional toilet paper for
Scott Naturals® Tube-Free bath tissue
and toss the tube. There’s no cardboard
core so it has major potential to reduce a
portion of the 17 billion toilet paper tubes
thrown away each year in the U.S.,
enough to fill the Empire State Building
twice.
3. Reduce Waste. Use bathroom necessities with less packaging such as bar
soaps, which are friendlier to the environment (and your budget). The car-
4.
5.
6.
7.
bon footprint of liquid soaps is about 25
percent larger than that of bar soaps.
Liquid soaps also require more energy
for packaging production and disposal.
Clean the Air. Bathrooms are one of
the most humid rooms in the house.
Excess humidity can cause mold, which
can spur allergies, asthma and other
breathing troubles. Use nontoxic cleaning solutions to remove mold, such as
household ingredients (baking soda and
vinegar) or other natural cleaners. Help
prevent mold by better ventilating the
bathroom which removes the moisture
that mold needs to grow.
Install a Tankless Water Heater. With a
tankless water heater, you only heat the
water that you use, which saves energy
and money. Gas water heaters give off
an average of 58 percent fewer carbon
emissions than electric ones.
Save Energy. Compact fluorescent
bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs
and last 10 to 25 times longer. Energyefficient bulbs can also save you money
on electricity.
Conserve Water. Aerators on faucets
and showerheads use half the water
with twice the power. If everyone used
one, aerators could save 250 million gallons of water a year.
NYSEG and RG&E Urge Customers to Guard
Against Deadly Carbon Monoxide
ROCHESTER – NYSEG and RG&E, subsidiaries of Iberdrola USA, urge customers to
be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless gas that can
quickly harm you and your family. To help
keep you safe we recommend:
Use CO detectors. (New York state law now
requires CO detectors in most residences.)
Have a professional check heating systems, chimneys, flues and vents once a
year.
Always read, understand and follow manufacturer’s instructions when using supplemental heat sources such as space heaters
or fireplaces.
Never use an emergency generator indoors, including the garage.
Never use a natural gas stove, oven or
charcoal grill as an indoor heat source.
Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms, including headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea and loss of muscle control.
Prolonged exposure to CO can lead to seri-

and instructions.
ous illness and even death.
CO is produced by incomplete combustion
from boilers, furnaces, water heaters, gasoline engines, stoves, generators, lanterns and
natural gas ranges. The incomplete combustion of charcoal, oil, wood or propane also
can produce CO, which may reach dangerous levels in enclosed or partially-enclosed
spaces and poorly ventilated areas.
Anyone who suspects a carbon monoxide problem should get up, get out and
call 911. NYSEG customers may also call
1.800.572.1121; RG&E customers may call
1.800.743.1702.
Carter Oosterhouse teamed up with the Scott Naturals®
brand in New York City to launch its tube-free bath tissue
nationally by building a 30-foot tower made out of toilet
paper tubes to demonstrate the 17 billion tubes thrown away
each year.

How Much Backup Power Do You Need
During An Outage?
(NAPS) - With more and more choices
available in automatic home standby power,
selecting the right backup power system can
be confusing. Here are three important things
to think about when considering an automatic
standby power system:
• Backing up only the essentials. Are
there a couple of rooms, or maybe a
handful of appliances - your refrigerator,
freezer, sump pump, furnace, and well
pump, for example - that are the most
important items for you to have during a
power outage? You can work with your
generator dealer or electrician to back
up only the circuits that power them.
This means investing in a relatively small
home standby generator - perhaps a 7You can help save the environment and help yourself save some money, too, when you
insulate your home.
Foaming Your Home Can Help You Save
(NAPS)—The use of energy-efficient and
environmentally responsible building materials is an important consideration for homeowners, developers, architects and contractors. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a wise
choice for insulating homes and structures as
it can help lower energy use and bills. Lower
energy use means that less greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, are being produced in
the generation of electricity or other fuels that
power our buildings.
In California, which ranks among the most
expensive states in terms of energy prices,
SPF insulation can help homeowners save
about $900 annually on their heating and
cooling costs. Additionally, these energy savings mean homes insulated with SPF can
reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being
released into the state’s air by 800,000 metric
tons, the equivalent of removing 2,700 cars
from the roads there each year.
And these savings aren’t limited to
California. In Minneapolis, with its cold and
long winters, a home with SPF insulation can
save the equivalent of 2,400 barrels of oil
over a 60-year period. A home in Houston,
with its hot and long summers, can save the
equivalent of 500 barrels of oil during that
same period. And all these savings translate
to less greenhouse gases being pumped into
the environment.

Backing up your whole home with a
smart power management system. If
you want all your lights and appliances
running just as they would on a normal
day, you can invest in an automatic
standby generator with a smart power
management system. This system can
monitor the power you’re using, and if
there’s a risk of overloading the generator, it will simply turn off the most powerhungry appliances. Most of the time,
these are central air conditioners. When
generator capacity returns, the system
will turn those appliances back on. Such
systems are ideal for homes up to about
3,000 square feet with no more than two
three-ton central air conditioners. The
generators can be as small as 11 kW,
with 20- or 22-kW generators among the
most popular.
• Complete whole-house backup. Want
to back up your entire home, with the
ability to power every appliance all the
time? You can invest in an automatic
standby generator that delivers enough
power to do just that. For homes up to
3,000 square feet, a 16- through 22-kW
unit can suffice, while others - large custom homes and those with many powerhungry appliances such as two or more
central air conditioners - will require
generators that are larger.

POLITICAL CANDIDATES’ STATEMENTS
NEW YORK STATE
Andrea Starzak
Candidate NYS Senate
52nd District
As a former 20-year special
education teacher and mother
of four, I learned patience
and how to confront difficult
challenges, while keeping
important goals and values in
mind. As a three-term Town of
Vestal Supervisor, I fought for
honest, transparent, accountable government with long
term comprehensive planning
and budgets that work. Now I
would like to put these skills
to work for you as your New
York State Senator.
Over the past 26 years, our
area has lost over 20,000 jobs
while the rest of the NY state
has increased in employment.
The Wall Street Journal has
identified our region as the
slowest growing in the entire
United States, not just for this
year, not just for next year, but
until 2020! It is clearly time
for a new direction in leadership, and time for a change.
As your State Senator for
the 52nd District my top priorities will be good jobs, good
schools, good government and
a healthy environment.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, is the top
issue for many people in this
district. I especially propose
“Build Up New York” which
would work with existing local businesses to encourage
expansion and new jobs by using revolving loan funds with
low interest rates. Supporting
our family farms, finding new
crops, creating niche products
and establishing and expanding agricultural marketing
and distribution hubs in our
area can help with innovative employment and business
growth. Local green jobs and
renewable energy will also
create opportunities.
Our area is blessed with
good schools and dedicated
teachers, administrators, students and parents. However,
since 2008, our district has
lost over $90,000,000 in state
funding for our schools, while
the NY State Senate has funneled money to NYC charter
schools. I will work to restore
much needed state aid to our
upstate schools to relieve the
local taxpayer burden.
It is time to fight the corruption in Albany by bringing
back honesty, integrity and
transparency in government. It
is important to pass bills like
the 2014 Campaign Finance
Reform Law, put strict limits
on using campaign funds for
personal legal expenses, call
for public funding of elections, close the Limited Liability Company loophole,
and shut down the “secret
donor” interests which have
taken over government. It is
also important to allow bills to
come to the floor which have
been blocked by my opponent
in the past such as the full 10
point Women’s Equality Act.
And of course, one of the
most important aspects of being your Senator is to protect
our environment and promote
a healthy future for New York
state by standing with NY’s
doctors and nurses to call for
a three-year moratorium on
hydrofracking due to its environmental and public health
risks.
I am qualified and eager to
represent you. I understand
the needs of our district, and
the importance of managing
our tax dollars conservatively
while revitalizing our upstate
economy and standard of living. I stand for good jobs, good
schools, good government and
a healthy environment. Your
vote for me on Nov. 4 will assure you will have a voice and
a senator in Albany that you
can trust because my only special interest is you.
SIDNEY TOWN COUNCIL
Loddie Marsh
Sidney Town Council.
Hello Neighbors,
My name is Loddie Marsh
and I’m running for Sidney
Town Council. I am honored
that the Democrats have endorsed me, a Republican, to
run for Town Council. On
the ballot my name - Loddie
Marsh - will appear twice:
once on the Democratic line,
and again on the Independent
line, where I will appear under the party name ‘Building
Community.’
I was one of five kids and
grew up in Delaware. After
leaving school I was hired by
the DuPont Corporation where
I began a 35 year career history in Computer Operations
and Client Support Management. The positions I’ve held
required strong communication, problem solving and
people skills. A skill set that
I believe will be an asset in
the position of Town Council
Member.
My husband and I bought
our farm and retired to Sidney
in 2003. We fell in love with
the area; it’s beauty and the rural way of life, a quality of life
that I want to preserve.
Becoming the owners of
a small farm has been quite
a learning experience. Both
challenging and wonderful.
We’ve added chickens and
goats and planted an organic
garden, worked on our blueberry field and adopted two
cats that found their way to
our farm.
We’ve worked with Delaware County Soil and Water
on projects to diminish flood
erosion as we border Carr’s
Creek. We completed the
NYS Agriculture Environment Management program.
We also completed a wetland
enhancement project, working
with the Chesapeake Bay Program. Wetlands, wetland buffers and grazing systems are
land use practices that benefit
water quality near and far, improve farm economics and reduce flood waters. It is one of
many ways we can protect the
environment.
I’ve been a regular at the
Sidney Town Board meetings
since 2010. I’ve also attended planning board meetings.
I worked with the Greater
Maywood Rural Community
Services and value their commitment to Sidney by building
community. I’ve volunteered
with the Delaware Valley Humane Society, which does so
much for our furry friends.
As a Sidney Town Council
member I would work:
-to preserve Sidney’s rural
character and safeguard our
air, water and property values.
-to maintain local control of
heavy industry.
-to protect our health and
the health of our children,
livestock, pets and wildlife.
-to assist Sidney’s senior
population by promoting
-to promote expansion of
the hospital including emergency medical services
-to promote public input
into planning and zoning
processes.
-to promote growth and development that benefits us all.
I will bring to Sidney Town
Council:
-a fresh perspective
-a person who listens
-a person who is a proponent of Home Rule
-a mission to promote
growth that improves all of
our lives
-a commitment to represent
YOUR needs and interests.
I want to know what’s important to you.
My husband and I chose Sidney – I hope you choose me.
Let’s work together,
Loddie Marsh
Jody S. Proffitt
Republican Candidate for
Sidney Town Council
I am running on the Republican ballot for Sidney Town
Council. I am asking everyone
to get out to vote on November
4, let’s “Do it again and bring
a friend.”
I regularly attend the town
board meetings and I am familiar with the issues our town
is faced with. In January of this
year, Town Supervisor Gene
Pigford appointed me as Deputy Town Supervisor and I was
approved unanimously by the
board. In that capacity I have
made every effort to act according to the needs of the job. If
elected to the town board I will
strive to keep the momentum
running in the right direction,
promoting respect by listening
to citizens and working to find
solutions to their concerns. I
will continue to focus on fiscal
responsibility following the
Town’s new procurement policy, planning and budgeting,
as well as continuing to payoff
The Hospital debt.
I believe the core difference
in this year’s election is nothing less than the direction our
community will follow for the
next several years. I do not believe that Sidney is or has ever
been a retirement community,
a planned unit development
or a wildlife habitat. It is not
a suburban “bedroom community” to some other industrial
area. Sidney is and has always
been a rural community that
has to fend for its own economic survival and identity.
We have been around for over
two hundred years and have
existed nicely as a place of all
forms of industry and commerce as well as a very nice
place to live, raise a family
and retire.
I have witnessed manufacturing, family businesses,
farms and other industries
closing or leaving Delaware
County for far too long. I will
strive to promote economic
growth by encouraging a business friendly community with
an eye toward protecting the
natural resources we have
been entrusted with. I believe
the pipeline would provide a
source of cleaner and less expensive energy to homes, businesses and industry. The town
must insist that the property
owners’ are accommodated
by the gas company and provided local step down from the
pipeline.
I am a lifelong resident of
Delaware County growing up
in Deposit and then living in
Meridale where my wife Sandy
and I raised our two daughters,
Stephanie and Natasha. In the
fall of 2006 we purchased our
home in Sidney where we have
resided for the last eight years.
We have strong family values,
treasure our great neighbors,
and friends. Over 30 years
ago I made a commitment to
help the Deposit community
by becoming a member of the
fire department and emergency
squad. In 1986 Sheriff Levon
“Stretch” Telian appointed me
as a Deputy Sheriff. I am currently a Sergeant and some of
my responsibilities are Accreditation Program Manager, Director of the Delaware County
Law Enforcement Academy
and Program Manager for the
Police Traffic Services Grant.
Throughout my lifelong
commitment as a public servant I have worked with local
government, fire departments,
emergency squads and other
first responders to help us
through natural disasters and
horrific events, always doing
more with less. During the
floods that devastated Delaware County I worked in the
Emergency Operation Center
obtaining resources needed.
I have committed myself to
learning everything possible
to better serve the residents
of Delaware County and the
Town of Sidney.
On November 4, please vote
and elect me to the Sidney
Town Council.
Thank you,
Jody Proffitt

Delaware Co. Sheriff to Host
Seminar on U.S. Constitution
DELHI - We the people are
the rightful masters of both
Congress and the courts, not
to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men
who pervert the Constitution.”
Abraham Lincoln
Many of you have expressed
your vexation to me regarding the systematic erosion of
the US Constitution in recent
years; and more particularly,
the NYS SAFE ACT. In these
trying times, Constitutional
awareness and education are
more important than ever. It
was for the purpose of being a
“citizen’s last line of defense”
from tyranny (caused by an
overreaching State or Federal
government) that the Office of
Sheriff was established in our
State Constitution. As your
sheriff I am fully aware of my
obligation, as a constitutional
officer, to uphold (and if need
be “protect”) our Constitutional rights.
In an effort to address your
concerns, I am sponsoring
a Constitutional Awareness
Seminar, which will encompass a broad view of the Con-
stitution, especially as originally designed by our founding
fathers. It will be conducted
by a local Delhi resident and
businessman, Dave Clark and
Undersheriff DuMond at the
Sheriff’s Office, 280 Phoebe
Lane, Delhi, on Wednesday,
Nov. 5 commencing at 6 p.m.
Join us in our study of the
Declaration of Independence
and the original United States
Constitution. In one of his
“letters” Thomas Jefferson
wrote, “I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers
of the society but the people
themselves; and if we think
them not enlightened enough
to exercise their control with
a wholesome discretion, the
remedy is not to take it from
them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is
the true corrective of abuses
of constitutional power.”
Feel free to contact Undersheriff DuMond at 746-2336
with any questions you may
have.
I look forward to seeing you
on Nov. 5.

Sidney Angels Win Second
Baseball League Championship
SIDNEY - The Sidney Angels won their second league
championship in three years as
they knocked off the defending
champion Binghamton Buccaneers. The Sidney Angels are
part of the STABL (Southern
Tier Adult Baseball League)
Wooden Bat League. This team
is made up of local talent from
Sidney, Unadilla, Afton, Greene
and the Albany area.
This season, the league went
to a three-game series format in
the playoffs. The #1 seed Angels
defeated the #5 seed Binghamton
Royals in two games, and then
went three games against the
Bucs, who had knocked off the
#6 seeded New Milford Braves
and the #2 seeded Devil Rays.
The Buccaneers took the first
game on Saturday by a score of
3-0. The teams returned to River
Park on Sunday, where the Angels won game 2 by a score of
4-0, as Angel’s manager Andy
Kozak tossed a shutout to tie the
series at one game apiece.
The deciding game couldn’t
have been better. Trailing 3-2
with runners on second and
third and one out in the top of
the 6th, Angels outfielder Chuck
Parslow made an incredible diving play to save a run. However,
the runner tagged up from third
base to tie the score at 3. In
the bottom of the 6th, Parslow
walked, stole a base, and scored
the go-ahead run from third on a
passed ball. Despite throwing a
complete game just one day earlier, Parslow took the ball in the
7th inning and shut down the
side to earn the save and preserve the win - and the championship - for the Angels. For

teams played a second OT with
no other scores.
Weather did not play a factor
in the first half, as Downin gave
the Purple Devils a 1-0 lead
off a direct kick 9:49 into the

half and overtime was played in
heavy rains and wind.

28:42 left in regulation on
Addy Lawson’s one-timer past
Franklin keeper Alicia DeSilva

trickled toward the goal before
bouncing off the right post.
DeSilva quickly fell on top of
