Gilbertsville Honors Firefighter
Jim Pochy and His Wife, Susie
GILBERTSVILLE - Asking Jim and Susie Pochy to tell
a few stories from years past
is like opening the nozzle on a
fire hose - almost a literal fire
hose because between them
they have almost a century of
experience with the Gilbertsville Fire Department and
that’s a lot of stories. Jim was
recently honored for 50 years
of service and Susie will soon
reach that milestone as well.
Jim, or Pooch as he’s
known to his many friends,
got started in the fire department many years ago when he
was in high school and student
volunteers were needed to assist during a tragic drowning
in the nearby Butternut Creek.
While helping he met some
of the members of the fire department who encouraged him
to join up. Like a lot of young
couples, they got involved in
things together, so when Jim
joined the fire department,
Susie joined the auxiliary and
they’ve been serving the com-
JIM AND SUSIE POCHY are shown here with the truck
that was dedicated in Jim’s honor and the plaque presented to him for his fifty years of service.
Trick-Or-Treat!
Halloween Fun Is Planned for Tri-Town Area Youth
Halloween is a fun time for
the youngsters. Many of our
local communities designate
Trick or Treat times and organizations hold special events.
The following are several of
the special events, others are
elsewhere in this newspaper
and additional Halloween
events will be included next
week. Motorists are cautioned
to be particularly watchful for
the children on village streets.
Young children going out
Trick or Treating should be
accompanied by an adult.
AFTON – A fun night for all
ages will be held in the Family
Life Center at the First Baptist
Church in Afton on Thursday,
Oct. 31. From 6 to 8 p.m. there
will be games, entertainment
and refreshments of cider and
donuts. All are welcome to
come in costume.
BAINBRIDGE – The annual Halloween festivities in
the Village of Bainbridge will
be celebrated on Thursday,
Oct. 31. Children are encouraged to trick-or-treat between
the hours of 5 and 7 p.m. The
Bainbridge Lions Club will
be hosting their annual Night
of Fun at the Greenlawn Elementary School from 7 to
8:30 p.m.
SIDNEY – The Sidney
Village Board has declared
Thursday, Oct. 31 between 5
p.m. and dusk, Trick or Treat
night in the village. If you
would like the young visitors,
please turn your porch light
on.
UNADILLA – The annual
Unadilla Halloween
Parade will be held at 7 p.m.
on Thursday, Oct. 31 in the
Unadilla Elementary School
gymnasium. Prizes will go to
all participants as well as lst,
2nd, 3rd place and best of costume. Refreshments will be

TWO MEET AND GREETS were held recently by GOP
candidates for the Sidney Town Board. Present were
(l-r) Jody Proffitt, candidate for a council seat; Eugene
“Gene” Pigford, candidate for supervisor; and John
Woodyshek, candidate for a council seat. The events
were held at the Sidney Municipal Public Library and
The Schoolhouse in Sidney Center.
munity together ever since.
Back in those early days almost every weekend was spent
at fire department competitions throughout the region.
Even their eventual wedding
date had to be selected so as
not to interfere with what was
called “motorhose competition” in those days. Work and
late-night card games at the
firehouse were the norm.
There is no better couple
than Jim and Susie to ask how
the fire service has changed
in the past decades. In his 21
years as fire chief, Jim fought
many fires including some
big ones, notably barn fires
where the crews would spend
all night battling the fire. But
nowadays barn and silo fires
are rare since the hay and silage are kept in plastic outside.
Good enforcement of building
codes has likewise cut down
on chimney fires.
Jim laughs when he recalls
the changes in fire equipment.
In the 1960s the fire service
had very little money so they
built things themselves. One
clever guy in the department
managed to shoehorn a big
V8 engine into a surplus army
vehicle for which it was never
intended, but it worked. Split
axle transmissions and doubleclutch shifting have given way
to automatic transmissions on
trucks that drive more like big
cars than army tanks.
One regrettable change has
been the drop-off in volunteer
fire department membership.
In its prime, the Gilbertsville
Fire Department could field
55 members but now has
barely half that number. When
asked to speculate on the reason for this, the Pochys suggest that people now feel too
busy to participate in the fire
service. That comment leads
to a smile and the memory of
times when there would be a
late-night fire alarm and Jim
and Susie would bundle their
young son into the back seat of
their car where he would sleep
while mom and dad fought to
save lives and property.
It’s all part of what Susie
calls being “community people” and Gilbertsville has been
lucky to have the two of them
in its community for more
than 50 years.

Delaware Co. IDA Completes Building Project
To Bring New Business to Sidney Industrial Park
DELHI - The Delaware
County Industrial Development Agency recently completed a building renovation
project to attract a new business into the Industrial Park
in Sidney. Cobalt Packaging,
LLC, a 100% woman-owned,
full service contract packaging company that specializes
in complete project management has moved into the
building located at 8 Winkler
Rd., Sidney. Formerly home to
AJS and Viking Distribution,
8 Winkler Rd. was purchased
by the Delaware County Industrial Development Agency
(IDA) in 2010. As a result of
a $160,000 investment by the
IDA in a variety of renovations, including the installation of a second loading dock,
the building now provides
space for Cobalt’s packaging
and fulfillment operations, and
warehouse space for Huff Ice
Cream.
Founded in 2009 by Kim
Crandell-Ashworth,
Cobalt
Packaging, LLC (Cobalt)
began as an owner-operated
business, which provided
print management and project
coordination for several large
consumer goods companies
from an office in Rochester.
Several years later, Cobalt has
taken on two partners and is
building its capacity. The new
facility will allow for the onsite processing and fulfillment
of promotional packing orders
for the ever-growing number
of customers. The increased
processing capabilities are
anticipated to result in the
creation of approximately 20
jobs over the first two years of
operation.
Working with the Village of
Sidney, the Delaware County
IDA learned of the Cobalt’s
desire to locate a facility along
I-88. Andy Matviak, Mayor
of the Village of Sidney said,
“Anytime we can bring new
job opportunities to our residents it’s exciting. John Redente, the village’s economic
development official, played a
key role in initially approaching Cobalt and facilitating an
introduction with Delaware of the assistance of both officCounty Economic Develop- es. The process moved quite

Progress Is Positive On
New Amphenol Facility
SIDNEY – Progress on the
new Amphenol Aerospace
facility on Delaware Ave.,
Sidney continues to be positive. With good fall weather
winding down, the major exterior work to date has been
completed and interior work
is now underway.
Amphenol employees were
told that the manufacturing
portion of the building is 100
per cent complete with steel
decking and about 10 per cent
is covered with membrane.
Wooden spots are framed out
which have the air conditioning units placed on top of
them.
Inside the manufacturing
building, the concrete floors
were expected to be poured
along with the electrical and
mechanical crews moving
ahead.
The absence of the crane on
site is a sign that all of the steel
work has been completed, as
well as the office area.

BAINBRIDGE – When the
curtain opens on “Our Town”
Nov. 1, 2 and 3 in the Bainbridge
Town Hall Theatre, Bainbridge
of the early 1900s won’t be so
far removed.
Not unlike Grover’s Corners, the fictitious New England
town Thornton Wilder based his
play on, Bainbridge boasted a
bustling newspaper. Like “Our
Town’s” editor Webb and family play a major role in Wilder’s
play, editor Henry A. Clark &
Son (Charles) of the Bainbridge
Republican had a nose for news
and played a big role in community affairs. Upon purchasing the paper in 1890 from
Harvey Ireland, who since 1871
had printed it from a garage at
the rear of his home at the intersection of Kirby and West
Main, they relocated the paper
to the old Heaton Emery Factory at West Main St. and Railroad Ave. Since the Bainbridge
Express, started in 1894 with
publishing out of Parsons (now
Pearsall’s Laundromat), literally
came and went, the Bainbridge
Republican was the only newspaper in Bainbridge until about
1929. There had been papers
prior and in 1930, Charles Clark
sold out to The Deposit Courier
owned Bainbridge News, which
renamed it the Bainbridge News
and Republican. In 1959, the
Bainbridge News became part
of The Sidney Record, both now
part of the Tri-Town News.
With its ideal location on the
street housing the creamery,
railroad, jail, Corporation Hall
where town meetings were held
and taxes paid, the Bainbridge
Republican office of the early
1900s did not lack for news. In
the early 1900s, the Clarks and
their Bainbridge Republican
cornered the market on community news and in “Our Town,”
set in New England where early
Bainbridge settlers came from,
editor Webb and family are
somewhat the topic of community news with the courtship
and wedding of their daughter,
Emily.
Editor and Mrs. Webb, played
by Howard L. Hannum and Lori
Bennett, have daughter Emily
(Emily Cooley) and son, Wally,
(Torey Cooley). Their neighbors
are Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs (Jim
Woodham and Ronni Cooley)
with son, George (Leonardo
Frascatore) and daughter, Rebecca (Lisi Dunaway.) Narrator/stage manager Gary VanDusen introduces various other
community members portrayed
by Jonathan Fitch, Alex Leggitt,
Richard Martens, Dan Spencer,
Joy Moore, John Hitt and Bobbi
Northrup.
Curtain for the Out of the
Woodwork Players production of “Our Town” is at 7 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1
and 2, with a 2 p.m. matinee
on Sunday, Nov. 3. For information or ticket reservations,
contact director Trish Guokas at
693-1041.
Tri-Town Relay For Life
Kick-Off Meeting Is Nov. 4
SIDNEY - The Kick Off
for the 10th annual Tri-Town
Relay For Life will be held on
Monday, Nov. 4, at the United
Methodist Church, Liberty St.,
Sidney. Everyone is invited to
attend. Our theme this year will
be “A Decade of Hope”. Refreshments will be served starting at 5:30 p.m. The meeting
will begin at 6 p.m.
Relay For Life is a signature
activity of the American Cancer Society. It is an overnight
event to raise money for cancer
research, education, advocacy,
and services for cancer patients.
It is a fun time for families and
friends, and yet, it is a serious
time, as we honor survivors for
their courage and strength and
remember loved ones lost to
cancer. This is a time when the
community can come together
to do their part to fight cancer.
The Relay For Life will be held
at General Clinton Park in Bainbridge on May 2 and 3, 2014.
The American Cancer Society and the Relay For Life
Committee would like to thank
all those who were involved this
past year. A big thank you to
our team captains, participants,
sponsors and the community.
Last May we had 25 teams, 465
participants, 63 survivors, who
took part in this event. The luminary ceremony had a total of
1,615 candles lighting the track.
The total gross from this event
was $98,503.
We would like to invite survivors, businesses, schools,
churches, organizations, families, previous team captains,
potential new teams, caregivers,
and families to come and hear
what this next year event is all
about. Please mark your calendar for Monday, Nov. 4 at 5:30
p.m. For questions or information please e-mail Maryann
Mika, committee chair, at [email protected] or call
the American Cancer Society at
1-800-277-2345 or the local office at 563-9634. With the help
of people like you, we hope to
find a cure.

In the Village of Sidney
Feinberg Brothers Bluegrass
At Town Hall Opry Oct. 26
BAINBRIDGE – Audiences are in for a pre-Halloween
“treat” this Saturday, Oct. 26,
when The Feinberg Brothers
take the Town Hall Opry stage
at 8 p.m. in the Bainbridge
Town Hall Theatre.
Brothers Rourke and Patrick Feinberg rate high among
the top, young bluegrass artists in the Northeastern United
States and, according to Folk
Talk Magazine’s reviewer, are
“the most authentic sounding
folkie kids I’ve heard this
year, singing songs of rails
and backwoods like they were
born to it.”
Hailing from Long Island,
where such greats as Andy
and Patrick Falco, Terry
McGill, Dave Thompson,
Dave Hampton and Michael
Cleveland “dropped in” for
jamming sessions while they
were growing up, the Feinberg Brothers began making
guest appearances at the ages
of 7 and 9. They played with
McGill’s band Straight Drive,
Miller’s Crossing and with
Dan Paisley and the Southern
Grass.
Though “born into bluegrass,” their classical training
on guitar, fiddle and mandolin
allows them to take their talent to new heights while incorporating “an understanding
of bluegrass well beyond their
years.”
Recent gigs have included
Southern Hospitality in Manhattan, Randolph Beer in
NYC, Lodi’s “Pickin’ in the
Pasture” bluegrass festival and
the Jalopy Theatre & School
of Music in Brooklyn.
Often joining them are
Keith Edwards on bass, Terry McGill on banjo and Ron
Feinberg, who bills himself as
“their older brother.”
Come out to the Town Hall
Theatre Saturday, Oct. 26, and
be “treated” to down home
bluegrass, home-baked and
“popped” goodies and a Gallery of visual arts featuring the
work of Cookie Witham.
See the ad elsewhere in this
issue for more details.
SIDNEY - The leaf pickup
program for this year in the
Village of Sidney is underway.
The Village will be utilizing
its vacuum leaf loader for the
collection of leaves. People
are encouraged to utilize as
much of their leaves as possible by composting, rototilling
into gardens, using for mulch,
etc. All other leaves should be
raked to the curb (not in the
gutter) for village pickup.
If the homeowner prefers,
leaves may be placed in reusable containers at the curb to
be dumped and run through
the leaf machine. It is preferred that bags not be used.
However, where there is no
free lawn or if for other rea-
sons it is not practical to pile
the leaves at the curb, clear
bags may be used.
The village will be continuing to use a “sweep” basis for
leaf collection where we will
pick up leaves in each of six
sections in rotation. Once
leaves are collected on a street
we expect not to return until
all other streets in all other
sections are served. The status
of the collection will be kept
current at the office of the Sidney Village Clerk. There will
be no scheduled pickup days.
People are asked to not park
their vehicles on the street
where they will conflict with
the leaf pickup.

Presbyterian Church will host
an all-you-can-eat pancake
breakfast Saturday, Oct. 26 from

Artwork in The Gallery

and Sunday, Oct.27 from noon
till 2 p.m. She welcomes you
to browse through an assortment of artwork she enjoys
creating: pottery, primitive rug
hooking and photography.
“After moving from the
Capital District to Clayton in
1998, I discovered a treasure
in the north country at The
Thousand Islands Arts Center. I started with two diverse
beginner classes - Garden Pottery and Primitive Rug Hooking - loved them both and have
pursued each medium with
a passion. My husband and I
moved here to Bainbridge two
years ago and I’ve finally got-
ten my kiln up and running.
My business card’s heading
is ‘A Claycookie for your
Garden’, telling you that my
pottery runs the gamut from
functional to frivolous.
My rug hooking involves
designing, collecting new and
recycled wool, dyeing, hooking cut strips of wool through
a linen backing to form small
rugs, pillows, wall hangings
and ornaments. I’ll also share
a few photographs from our
gardens up north.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
New Blood
Is Needed On
Afton Town Board
There are two seats on the
Afton Town Board up for election this year. I ask you to vote
for Rich Cuthbertson and Alan
Steinberg. I, Mary Jo Long,
have served on the Afton
Town Board for eight years
and I know that new blood is
needed on the town board.
Rich Cuthbertson has a
broad and informed perspective on the conditions and
needs of Afton based on his
experience in community activities such as directing and
acting in community theater
groups, serving as president
of Sertoma, and participating
in several veterans groups.
He also brings a much-needed
sense of humor and wit that
will help the board to get on
with the important work to be
done.
Alan Steinberg has been a
leader in the Afton community
for a long time and he will be
a great addition to the town
board. Alan was on the Afton
School Board for 10 years.
He also has organized and led
volunteer groups for keeping
and maintaining the old town
hall in the village rather than
borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a
new town hall away from the
center of our community. Out
of his concern that industrial
hydrofracking will injure our
community, he organized and
leads monthly monitoring of
our local waterways and has
done baseline air quality testing. This summer Alan helped
organize the new community
garden behind the village hall.
Both of these candidates
live in the Village of Afton.
The decisions of the town
board, such as its 4-to-1 vote
asking to be fracked first if gas
drilling comes to New York,
affect the village as much as
the town. The truck routes of
several gas well applications
pending with the Department
of Environmental Conservation go through the center of
Afton. The Afton Town Board
also voted 4-to-1 to build a
new and expensive town hall.
Though Aftonians voted 2-to1 to defeat that proposal, the
incumbents, out of spite, keep
trying to spend more money
renting another space, buying
a double wide for a town hall,
or buying an existing building that is expensive and too
large, rather than maintain the
current town hall.
Mary Jo Long
Two Candidates
Care About
Afton’s Future
I am writing in support of
two fine candidates running
for seats on the Afton Town
Board, Alan Steinberg and
Rich Cuthbertson. These two
gentlemen are very concerned
about the direction the current
town board has taken in support of hydrofracking, lack of
real protection for our roads
and lack of proper maintenance for our historic town
hall. They also support a more
open and active town government and an annual town budget seen by all residents.
Remember, both Afton Village and Town residents can
vote for Afton Town Board
members. It’s time for a
change. Elect Rich and Alan,
their leadership will greatly
benefit all of Afton.

Statements By
Afton Candidates
Are of Concern
The political candidates’
statements in the Tri-Town
News Oct. 17, 2013 issue of
Rich Cuthbertson and Alan
Steinberg concern me greatly.
The current Afton Town Board
has delivered all service to the
residents of Afton without a
meaningful tax increase.
I am a retired senior citizen
living on a fixed income like
many of my friends and neighbors. After reading the letter to
the editor in the same issue I
wonder how they figure that
$116,000 is a modest plan to
renovate an old brick building
worth less than $40,000.
At the Sept. 12 Afton Town
Board meeting I was stunned
that after a board member requested time to review the
request for proposal that Alan
Steinberg and the rest of the
Afton Visions Group walked
out of the meeting.
How concerned are they
about Afton town business
when half the agenda of business remained? If they don’t
get their own way if they’re
elected will the town business
be neglected?
Rich Cuthbertson in the
past three years has only been
at two town board meetings.
How does he know anything
about town business?

May we be so bold as to say
why we are supporting: Tom
Ives for town councilman;
George Seneck, for town supervisor; and Ken Fogarty, for
town councilman.
Tom Ives has a proven track
record of listening to our concerns. Whether agreeing with
us or not, we feel he does listen and tries to make the best
decision. He is a life-long
resident with two sons in our
school system and we believe
he wants the best for them as
well as your children’s future.
George Seneck works tirelessly to stay abreast of issues
affecting rural areas such as
ours.
Whenever we have called
with a concern he has answered us, or found out the
answer, in a timely manner.
Ken Fogarty has regularly

Board meetings and if elected,
is interested in forming citizen

Unlike one of her opponents
who has been observed not
participating in the recitation
of the Pledge of Allegiance
before the town board meetings, Barb has always proudly
pledged her allegiance to this
great nation and its flag.
Barb has been very active
in community organizations
including the fire department,
the local school board, and
currently the Guilford Water
Board. She is a regular attendee of the Guilford Town
Board meetings. She has courageously stood before them
and voiced her opinions, questioned their actions, and made
suggestions to them. She has
a strong sense of right and
wrong, which guides her to do
what is right, even if it is difficult. This is the kind of representation that the people of
the township of Guilford need.
We do not need another person
on the board who always says
“yes” to everything that comes
before them without question.
Right now, our property
rights have been put in jeopardy by those who feel they know
more about what we should do
with our property, than we do.
We need Barb to stand up to
protect our property rights and
to keep the spending and taxes
under control in this township.
Barb is very concerned about
a number of important issues
in Guilford, not just one. Barb
believes in transparency in the
operations of Guilford. Everything done in our town should
be above board and open to
the public.
Barb would use a good,
honest, common-sense approach to running the Town of
Guilford, that we need. This is

Who Will Bring
Civility, Reason
I have been reading some
of the paid ads in your paper regarding the upcoming
town election and I must say
that I am a little surprised and
disappointed.
I understand that people can
disagree on particular issues,
especially complicated and
important issues such as drilling for natural gas in our area.
I can even understand that
sometimes tempers can flare
and all too often demagoguery
can take the place of informed,
intelligent debate and discussion. Things can be said in the
heat of the moment that people
would not otherwise say about
their neighbors and friends.
Unfortunately, I think it
crosses a line when we see
personal attacks and scurrilous remarks in the papers.
This is a town election between people we have known
most of our lives. There is no
reason to twist their words
into things they never meant.
That is why I will be voting
for Gene Pigford, John Woodyshek and Jody Proffitt for
town board. They will bring
civility and reason back to the
town board.

Three Democrats
Will Serve Their
Community Well
On Nov. 5 the voters of Sidney will have the opportunity
to re-elect Pete Cordes to the
town council. Pete has served
on the board for 16 years. Sidney residents, as well as fellow
board members, will benefit
not only from his experience,
but from his willingness to
listen and consider the view
points of all. In 2012 he served
during the time the board was
reduced to three members. He
voted his conscience and opposed the budge for 2013 because he was not in favor of
using capital reserves to keep
from any tax increase. Pete realizes that keeping the budget
in check cannot depend upon
the continued practice of using these reserves; it depends
upon consulting with the various departments and considering input from town’s citizens
before any budget is finalized.
If re-elected Pete will continue
to work with his fellow board
members, keeping in mind
what is best for the Town of
Sidney.
For the past year Bill Heath,
who is currently on the board
and seeking election as supervisor, has worked with Pete.
Bill has shown the leadership
qualities necessary to lead the
Sidney Town Board and to represent us at the county board
of supervisors. The elction of
these two experienced board
members, along with the extensive business background
of town board candidate, Paul
Muratore, will serve our community well. I urge to vote for
the Sidney First and Democratic candidates on Tuesday,
Nov. 5.
Susan Sklenarik,
Chair, Sidney Democratic
Committee
Vote for Three
Who Understand
“Home Rule”
I have long been an advocate of home rule. At the
debate of two weeks ago I
was heartened by the question asked regarding whether
the candidates were in favor
of home rule or not. I was,
though, saddened to learn that
by home rule, the asker meant
whether or not the candidates
were in favor of usurping the
rights of property owners under the current moratorium on
any and all natural gas drilling or even exploration in the
Town of Sidney.
Home rule, they seem to
believe, is about being able to
quash any form of meaningful and informed discussion
on the issue of people’s right
to utilize their own property
as they deem appropriate. I
am truly appalled at such an
interpretation. I was in favor
of home rule when Maurice
Hinchey and his state cohorts
took away the rights of local
government in the Adirondack
Park Agency. I was in favor of
home rule when he tried to do
the same thing in the Catskills
and failed only to have the
City of New York succeed in
wrenching those rights from
most of the towns and communities in Delaware County.
I did not hear any of these
people fighting for home rule
then. No, most of them were
applauding the subjugation
of local government in favor
of the state or New York City
in the name of rampant environmentalism. Home rule is
not about using the color of
law to negate people’s property rights, it is about fighting
the state and federal governments when they overstep
their bounds and usurp the
power that should belong to
communities.
Home rule is about stopping the state and federal government from handing down
mandate upon mandate to the
local town and school boards
that turn our local officials into
figureheads with the authority
only to raise taxes to pay for
services they are forced from
above to provide, whether
their population wants them
or not. Home rule is not a tool
to be used to strip a property
owner’s individual right to his
land and the profits derived
from it. That is rather something else entirely.
I will be voting for Gene
Pigford and the Woodyshek/
Proffitt ticket because they
know the difference.
Bill Hunt
Three Will Base
Decisions On
Facts, Evidence
I am happy to say that I support the Gene Pigford/John
Woodyshek/Jody Proffitt team
of candidates for the Sidney
Town Board this year. I have
listened to the debate that was
held on Oct. 3 and I believe
that this will be a very important election year. The decision
we will be making this year is
whether we will move forward
with a slate of local candidates
who will work for the overall
betterment of our community
or if we will elect a few people
with a personal gripe against
natural gas drilling and little
else on their agenda.
The Pigford/Woodyshek/
Proffitt team has lived in this
area long enough to know that
Sidney is not, and has never
been, a “bedroom community”
to some much larger city. It is
not some natural preserve that
must be “made sustainable.”
On the contrary, it is a complete community that has been
sustainable for over 200 years.
This community has been
home to a carriage factory, an
automobile factory, a novelty
works, a glass works, a magneto factory, a cheese factory,
a silk mill, a calendar plant,
an aerospace industry, a wood
laminating plant and railroad
tie manufactory, two railroads
and countless small businesses
operated in people’s garages,
barns and houses. We have
survived two world wars, a
revolution, a civil war, several
depressions, recessions and
cut backs. We have been home
to many churches including
the First Baptist Church of
Sidney, which was incorporated on Nov. 24, 1869.
Now, we are told by some
people and their supporters
that we need to be made “sustainable,” which is their very
coy way of suggesting that
natural gas is somehow not
“sustainable.” I am not sure
whether I want natural gas
drilling in Sidney or not, but
I do know that the decision as
to how we will proceed should
be made the way we have always made decisions; based

“Covered Bridges of the Civil War.” Vicky is very active in the
Chenango County Civil War Commemoration Project. She
has researched and given programs on several Civil War related subjects. The covered bridges about which she spoke
were either burned or somehow involved in that great conflict.
She brought 21 poster boards with excellent illustrations of

ed by a covered toll bridge in 1829. It was built by Lord and
Bottom at a cost of $2,400. It was swept away by a tornado
shortly after the Civil War. The next year it was replaced by another covered bridge built by Jacob
Cass at a cost of $3,000. Inferior in construction, it was carried away by an ice floe after about eighteen months. It was replaced in 1868 by the famous suspension bridge, the first toll-free bridge across
the Susquehanna River.
Middlebridge, an Afton neighborhood, was named for the covered bridge which was between where
Melondy Hill Road and Latimer Road join the East River Road or County Road 39. It was near Ball’s
Island. That bridge, built in the 1820s, was swept away in a freshet. In Bainbridge, a covered bridge
was built in 1845 after an older, open bridge was carried away by a flood. The new bridge was raised
from its piers by high water two or three years after being built and floated downstream, where it broke
up. Another bridge was built from salvaged timbers plus newly sawed ones. It was a two-way bridge,
partly open and partly covered. It was used until 1899 when the western span collapsed under a heavy
ice floe.
As can be seen, weather was the biggest threat to wooden covered bridges. In 1974, Ward Herman,
a former teacher in Afton, published the book “Spans of Time” about the many covered bridges in
Delaware County.

Vote Democrats
In for Sidney
Town Board
Over the past two years we
have had elections that have
started to change the style and
image of the Sidney Town
Board. This November will
allow us to continue this positive direction.
William “Bill” Heath, candidate for town supervisor,
will bring a strong belief in
government by the people. In
his time on the board he has
brought reason and common
sense to the issues. Bill also
attends all county meetings
that have prepared him for this
very important position. Bill
wants to keep budgets under
control and taxes low.
Pete Cordes brings to the
board a vast knowledge of
how the town board functions.
His many years of experience
on the board have shown how
important it is to listen to all
sides of issues. I have known
Pete for over 50 years. He is
honest, and concerned for the
direction the town should be
going in.
Paul Muratore is new to running for office, but not new to
being active in town business.
Paul, a business owner, has
worked hard to help Democrats during the past two elections. While he began as working against fracking issues, he
has expanded his view of Sidney and wants to see it grow,
evolve and address the important issues facing the board.
I strongly recommend
that the candidates listed
above receive your votes this
November.
Floyd Howard
Republicans
Need to Vote In
Sidney Election
In the past Sidney Town
elections, not enough Republicans got out to vote. Since
Republicans hold a slight majority of voters in the town, we
want and need you to get out
and vote this time.
The present town board is
preventing progress. An example is their present moratorium opposition to natural
gas development in the Town
of Sidney. Since 1820, almost
200 years, natural gas construction in N.Y. State and
the Town of Sidney has safely
been accomplished.
The purpose of a moratorium is to delay. In the two
years the moratorium has been
in effect, the present board has
done nothing to prepare for the
inevitable gas development.
Mainly, use your American
privilege and get out and vote
on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Doug Fessenden
GOP Candidates
Will Help Sidney
Move Forward
Given our recent troubles
in Congress and some of the
things that I have seen and
heard at the state and national
level of the Republican party,
I am heartened to see that in
Sidney, the cloth-coat core of
the Republican party is still
alive and well.
The slate of candidates
presented in Sidney consists
of three well educated, well
respected and well informed
people who have exhibited wisdom and moderation
throughout their lives. They
are not demagogues, pounding on a single issue with little
to no real science to back their
often conflicting claims. Rather, they are reasonable people
who will help us move Sidney
forward with facts, sound logic and a willingness to discuss
issues.
It is good to finally have a
slate of candidates that makes
one feel proud of his party
again. Let the reformation
of our party go forth from
Sidney.

Have It Right
As a lifelong Republican and resident of Sidney, I
would like to applaud the local Republican party for the
slate of candidates they have
placed forward this year. I
believe Gene Pigford is the
perfect candidate for our town
supervisor. His kind manner
and well considered speech
combined with his scientific
education and experience in
community service are just the
combination we sorely need to
lead our council.
John Woodyshek is not only
experienced in municipal government, but experienced in
our municipal government, for
over 30 years. He is already up
to speed with the things our
community will be facing and
he has the education and experience that will serve us well
for the next two years.
Finally, though he has only
lived in Sidney a short time,
I believe Jody Proffitt will
be an asset to the board with
his broad-based experience
in both the private and public
sector. Most important, these
people will work well together
and are dedicated to the idea
that they will be good listeners
who will work with the people
of this town. I think this year
the Republicans have got it
just right.

Vote in Support
Of Home Rule
On Nov. 5 we have an opportunity to vote in support
of Home Rule and grass roots
politics. William Heath, Paul
Muratore and Pete Cordes are
running for supervisor and
town council seats on the Independent and the Democratic
Party Lines.
Sidney needs strong advocates on Delaware County
and local government boards
to preserve our water and air
quality, the beauty, diversity, peace and safety of our
community.
Both the New York Association of Towns in 2012 and
the Albany Law School in the
spring of this year held tutorials for local government officials to help them understand
and prepare for the possibility
of HVHP methane extraction
and associated infrastructure
like the proposed Constitution
Pipeline. Passage of moratoria
on gas extractive activities followed by land use and highway
protective legislation were advised as wise precautionary
measures. Multinational extractive industries do not have
the same goals for our community as we have, they have
no home or allegiance to their
neighbors but citizens do.
NY State Attorney General
Eric Schneiderman advised
small New York towns to formulate town plans for their future and he advocated a code
of ethics to protect towns from
profiteers.
Being mindful that democratic decision making and the
protection of individual rights
and property rights in a transparent and inclusive political
process will guide us towards
a healthy and happy local
economy.
Vote Heath, Muratore and
Cordes for the Sidney First
Party.

Will Move Sidney
In a Positive Way
The Township of Sidney
stands at an important crossroads as its citizens approach
the upcoming election on
Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Sidney Township has been
described in its Comprehensive Plan as zoned predominately residential-agricultural.
This zoning must continue to
reflect and protect the rural
character of the community.
Agricultural uses encompass
much of the land along the
Susquehanna River and valley
areas of the town.
However, the village has
historically also supported

small to medium-sized industries that continue to provide
employment for many of the
residents in the hamlet, town
and village.
The challenge facing the
new town board will be to find
a balance that protects recreational and agricultural concerns, facilitates cost effective
energy sources for industries
and residents of the township,
and do so with a significantly
challenged budget within
which to operate.
The future destiny of Sidney Township has almost as
much to do with a Vision and
Strategic Plan for the future,
as it has to do with addressing
the earlier mentioned present
issues facing the township.
The hamlet of Sidney Center
and the village of Sidney are
already identifying priorities
that will be important in addressing some of their present
concerns, as well as focusing
on their further development.
Republican candidates Jody
Proffitt, John Woodyshek and
myself, Eugene Pigford, candidate for Sidney Town Supervisor, stand ready to serve all
residents of the township, and
request your vote on Nov. 5 to
help move Sidney Township
towards a positive future.

Vote Common
Sense in Town
Of Sidney Election
In response to Albert Crudo’s letter from last week, it
made me think of what a great
country we are in where even
the most distorted views are
protected by the freedom of
speech that this country provides. This is a fine example
of what we are all subjected to
by cable news, internet sites,
slanted newspapers and TV
commercials, where the left
wing loons and the right wing
zealots all have an agenda.
It must be successful or they
would not spend millions of
dollars in trying to convince
voters to their way of thinking.
I would urge all to go back and
read that letter, investigate for
themselves, apply common
sense and vote accordingly.
While we are involved in
a small town council race, all
races matter to some degree
as they affect our lives. The
gas well boom and fracking
have divided our community,
county and state. Personally
I do not have the expertise to
determine for myself if fracking is dangerous or not, I have
to rely on state government,
national government, other
professionals, and the studies
that they do to determine an
opinion.
I guess that is the problem
that I have with our current
town council. They established a moratorium on gas
well drilling where none of
them have the expertise to

eventually decide whether to
drill or not. It is highly unlikely that the Town of Sidney
will do their own study. I believe they did it because that is
their view no matter what the
state or national government
will decide, they do not want
drilling. All elected officials
are elected to represent all of
the constituents, not just a percentage. Because they passed
this moratorium, it shows arrogance that only their opinion
counts, and they will not work
for the best interests of all citizens. This attitude is one that I
intend to vote against.
I also caught a radio commercial by a Mr. Muratore
where he states that he is
against eminent domain. While
that is fine, if he is elected, he
cannot do anything about eminent domain, as this is state
law where the courts will decide on what is legal or not.
As a town councilman he will
have no say if eminent domain
will be in the Town of Sidney.
He is entitled to his opinion
like everyone else, but to run
a commercial like that further
shows a willingness to scare a
less informed voter.
Also, how long before these
councilmen decide they don’t
want farming or quarrying or
logging or small businesses or
large businesses in our town
and decide to try to ban these?
I would suggest to all, vote
common sense and find a candidate that will try to work for
all of the people and in the best
interests of the town.
Jim Omahen,

Elect Candidate
To Help Sidney
Reach Its Potential
I consider Sidney one of the
most beautiful areas in all of
NYS. It has a long history of
being a ‘town to watch’, and
the positive attributes Sidney
has to offer are many- breathtaking natural beauty, innumerable year-round outdoor
activities, charming antique
shops, great restaurants and
super-friendly people.
Unfortunately, much of
Sidney’s extraordinary potential is not being realized and
that is a shame and a waste.
With the base we already
have, and our unlimited potential for growth the goals we
can reach are only limited by
our imagination and ingenuity. But to accomplish great
things, we need a town board
that is progressive, a board
that works together for the
good of all Sidney residents.
And this board must be 100%
transparent, because although
you elect us to represent you,
the board must never forget
that we are there to serve you,
and must always be accessible
and open to your concerns and
answerable to you.
I would like the opportunity
to be a positive part of the Sidney Town Board, to contribute
my extensive business knowledge, marketing and organizational skills to help Sidney
achieve the prosperity and
respect it deserves. We need
more innovative people on the
board (there are already a few)
so we can steer Sidney into
this still relatively new millennium in a manner that supports
and grows the local economy,
while preserving our natural
resources, our clean air, water
and land that we are so fortunate to have, as many areas in
our country fall into drought
or toxic conditions. Because
what good is an economy if
there is no inhabitable environment for it (or us) to exist
in? It doesn’t make sense to
trade one for the other.
So I’m asking all my neighbors, fellow community group
members and the many of
you who I consider friends,
to spread the word to support
me, so I in turn, can assist our
community in reaching its full,
amazing potential.
I’m Paul Muratore and I’d
be honored to represent the
people of Sidney through our
town council. Please don’t forget to vote Nov. 5.
Paul Muratore
Help Steer
Sidney In
Right Direction
My name is Ed Smith. My
wife, Amanda and I own a
small horse farm on the outskirts of town, and we, like
many of our friends and
neighbors, are concerned.
Concerned where our town is
going, and in what direction.
Sensitive issues regarding
the town budget, the hospital,
our taxes, the future safety of
our clean air and water, the
effects of the pipeline and the
reasons to ensure a better life
for our younger generation
are all major hurdles for our
town board to consider, and I
believe that we have the right
candidates this year to address
these issues.
Bill Heath, running for
Sidney Town Supervisor, although having only a year of
experience as a councilman,
has progressed immensely
in town operations, and has
shown that our town government can be run with respect
and integrity.
Pete Cordes, running for reelection for town councilman,
has always been there for the
good and welfare of our citizens. Sixteen years of service
shows exactly that.
Paul Muratore is just loaded
with new ideas and visions to
help develop and promote new
businesses in our area, but
what’s more, he wants to do
it environmentally safe, and
he, along with Bill and Pete
wish to see Sidney prosper
and grow.
Folks, on Tuesday, Nov. 5,
let’s help steer Sidney in the
right direction. Vote Democratic. Vote – Bill Heath, supervisor; Paul Muratore – for
town council and re-elect Pete
Cordes for town council.

Sidney Candidate Responds
To Recent Letters,
Advertisements
This is in response to recent
letters to the editor, paid ads
in the Tri-Town News and on
WCDO radio bashing both
myself and Mr. Proffitt and
criticizing comments made at
the so called “debate. ” First,
the “debate.” I urge all voters, if you didn’t already hear
the debate, to access it online
and listen to it in its entirety
at WCDOradio.com and click
on “audio archives” and select “2013 Sidney Community
forum.”
In terms of transparency,
as brought up at the “debate,”
you will hear the discussion
including my comments (at
37:30) that transparency, as
they seem to define it, can
be a two edged sword with
liability attached to it and,
more importantly, that in my
opinion, “Transparency is not
a substitute for electing (the
right) qualified people in the
first place.” When transparency means putting all town
business on the internet with
advance notice of all matters it
carries with it the responsibility to maintain the site which
could be costly in itself. Also
the village discussed some of
the pros and cons of this and
the question was raised, “what
additional liability could this
place on a municipality and
would this interpret into law-
suits if things were missed? Is
it worth it?”
Jobs and revenue: Listen
to their plan, or lack thereof,
of bringing in jobs as if jobs
are out there for the asking
and will just magically appear
because you want them. And
about revenue streams? What
are they actually going to do
about it? What are they waiting
for? The reality is that it takes
work to bring in new jobs and
lots of it. And you must first
position the town to protect
what we have and do what
we can to encourage them to
grow here and others as well.
The greatest potential for new
jobs is from existing industry
directly or from entities in
support of those industries.
One of the most important
things we can do in this direction is not stand in the way of
the pipeline. This pipeline can
be our salvation. The concept
of bringing gas from other directions has been talked about
for many, many years but the
economics have not been there
and it hasn’t happened. In recent times Corning Gas came
to the same conclusion when
they looked into tapping into
an existing main in the Binghamton direction to serve Sidney. It was too costly. The fact
that a major gas company has
selected a route for their pipeline that comes right through
the Town of Sidney adjacent
to the Village of Sidney is an
opportunity that we should
take advantage of that could
provide cleaner, less expensive energy to heat our homes,
and businesses and provide the
energy needed for industry.
The Heath-Cordes-Muratore slate lost the debate on
the issues on their own home
court and now resort instead
to personal ugly attacks and
mudslinging. If there is anything good to all this, it demonstrates their one-issue program and shows their true
colors. What is going on now
is exactly the problem, disrespect for anyone who will not
buy into their pie-in -the-sky,
unsupported claims and accusations and bogus solutions.
It is clear that this election
is not just about individuals. It
is about philosophically opposite teams.
We think the voters have
had enough of Sidney bashing
and personal attacks. A clear
message needs to be sent to
the Heath-Cordes-Muratore
group that it’s over. The opportunity to clean house is
here. We want to do what’s
right for you and we want to
bring back Sidney Community pride. Regardless of your
party, please vote for Gene
Pigford, Jody Proffitt and John
Woodyshek. Also, please read
my candidate message.
John J. Woodyshek,
Candidate for
Sidney Town Council
No political letters to the

Tri Town Theatre Remembers
As It Celebrates 50th Anniversary
SIDNEY - Tri Town Theatre
celebrates its 50th anniversary
season with more than 150 musicals, dramas and comedies performed over the years in the tritown area. For the past 50 years
TTT actors, singers, musicians,
directors and crew have worked
tirelessly to bring live theatre to
this area and it has been a labor
of love for them. The volunteer
theatre members recall the thrill
of putting together a quality
show and cast, exhilaration of
opening night, and the applause
and laughter from audiences.
They also remember late night
rehearsals, last minute set building, unexpected mishaps on and
offstage, exciting moments of
drama – also on and offstage
- and the unique experience of
taking shows on the road.
Jack Deuel, longtime TTT director, recalls how it all began.
In 1963, Jack was asked by tritown area Chambers of Commerce to form a theatre group.
“The Torch Bearers” was the
first TTT play presented in fall
of 1963. Opening night was to
be Friday, Nov. 22, 1963 which
was the day of President John
F. Kennedy’s assassination. It
was a sad, sobering time for
the entire nation; most Americans were gathered in churches
or around their television sets.
That evening’s performance
was canceled, but the show
went on the next week. And that
was the beginning of what is
now Tri Town Theatre.
In the early days of TTT,
shows were performed on a different night in each of the school
auditoriums in Bainbridge, Sidney and Unadilla. The whole
set, including costumes and
props had to be moved from
town to town. Larry Henchey,
veteran actor in many TTT
shows, remembers that on one
of the school stages, there was
no passage for actors backstage.
He had to exit the building,
walk around outside during the
show, and come in another door
to enter on the other side of the
stage. Larry and his late wife
Harriet worked on many shows;
even his children, Tamara (“The
Miracle Worker”) and Tom
(“On Borrowed Time”), acted
in shows. He remembers how
Tom DeMulder made a very believable, enchanting leprechaun
in “Finian’s Rainbow.”
The musicals in those days
were lavish and large-scale,
with fabulous costumes like the
huge wide-brimmed ladies’ hats
in the Ascot scene of “My Fair
Lady”, complicated sets, and a
full orchestra and chorus. One
of the most memorable TTT
members was the late Ellen
Danforth, wife of Dr. Danforth,
and longtime costume chair.
Ellen’s entire three-story home
stored all of TTT costumes – including hats, jewelry, scarves,
shoes, and elegant, beaded ball
gowns and formal tuxedoes. It
was always an adventure for an
actor to visit Ellen’s shop for a
costume fitting; one felt like a
child playing dress up. She had
countless storage boxes carefully labeled and organized on
each floor of the house. Many of
the finer dresses and hats were
donated by community members, but Ellen or her assistants
would hand sew nun’s habits
for “The Sound of Music” or a
dozen men’s red riding coats for
“Mame.” Ellen always said, “If
actors feel comfortable in their
costumes, they will relax and
enjoy being on stage more.”
She was right.
A memorable Tri Town Theatre actor is David Hawkins,
star of at least 20 or 30 shows
such as “South Pacific,” “Lend
Me a Tenor,” “Camelot,” “Bye
Bye Birdie,” “Mousetrap,” and
“Pack of Lies.” David often
credits his acting abilities to
“the Jack Deuel School of Act-
Coventry Museum to Host
Blackfoot Artist Mon., Oct. 28
ing.” He says, “Jack was always
perfecting, always looking for
more from an actor; he was a
joy to work with. Jack would
try to tweak our performances
for the next show, even giving
us notes between acts on the
same night.” David is now in
rehearsal for TTT’s fall show,
“Kiss Me Kate” which will be
presented on Nov. 15, 16 and
17 on the Unatego High School
stage.
Director Susan Jerauld, currently rehearsing the fall musical “Kiss Me Kate,” has been
active in Tri Town Theatre for
many years, acting in “The
King and I,” “Enchanted April,”
“Private Lives,” “Dangerous
Liaisons,” “The Crucible” and
many more. She has directed a
number of musicals and is currently enjoying working with
the “Kiss Me Kate” cast. Susan
and husband Scott have been the
driving force behind the little
theatre group for years. They,
and many other volunteers before them, are the life’s blood of
Tri Town Theatre.
COVENTRYVILLE - Attention all traditional and contemporary crafter makers, and
admirers of the Native American art passed down from the
Coventry area’s individuals and
families, who shaped our shared
past. On Monday, Oct. 28, Cynthia N. Shapley (Clearsky), local Blackfoot artist, beadwork
maker and bead loomer, will offer a unique program “Creating
Native American Beadwork,
Bead Looming and Beadwork
Pieces, Using Traditional Designs, Colors, Materials and
Tools.”
The Coventry Museum will
be open for visitors to tour, before the program, from 5:45 to
6:15 p.m. Program starts at 6:30
p.m. at the community meeting
room in the Coventryville Congregational Church, 113 Co. Rd.
27 (near four-way intersection
with State Hwy. 206), Coventryville. For more information
call 639-4073.
Pack up and bring your bead
work craft, and curiosity about
these first American art forms.
Her interactive program will
include: a display of some of
her current work including both
traditional designs and contemporary designs of her own;
description of how as a young
woman, she learned to use a
handmade wooden bead loom,
and other traditional beading
tools, to create ancestral designs, out of traditional colors
and materials; and real time
demonstrations of those skills
on that wooden loom, which
she uses to this very day. This
will be a great opportunity for
“young crafters” to get a quick
lesson in beadwork.
This program will leave ample time to answer the questions
of attendees and to share any
beadwork you choose to bring
with you.
All of the Coventry Town
Museum’s presentations are
family friendly, young people
are always welcomed. Light
refreshments will be served.
There is lots of parking.

Writer Seeks Info for Biography
On William E. Dimorier
By Ann Silverthorn, Erie, Pa.
I am a writer from Erie,
Pa., and for nearly a decade, I
have been corresponding with
Charles Decker, Afton Historian, regarding a biographical
research project focused on
William E. Dimorier (18711951). William was born and
died in Afton, and over the
years, he spent time in several
other Chenango and Broome
County locations including Colesville, Sanford and
Windsor.
Decker has provided a great
deal of information that has
been critical to the progress
of my research. Now, I am appealing to you for any information you might have about
William and his family.
Who was William E. Dimorier, and why should you
care about him as much as I
do?
William was the son of Robert Huddleston Dimorier and
Phoebe J. Titus. He had three
siblings, John, who married
Zilpha J. Sackett, Fred, who
married Kate L. Priest, and
Mary, who wed James Burton
Wood.
William never married. Instead, he dedicated his life to
education, first in one-room
schoolhouses in your area and
then in the school district of
the City of Erie, Pa., where
his contributions were vast.
He also contributed funds to
the education of a student in
China, Yiao Liang, through
the Baptist mission of August
I. Nasmith.
To share some background
with you, almost 10 years ago,
I acquired Mr. Dimorier’s
handwritten journal of original
poetry at an Erie, Pa., printinghouse auction and recognized
the quality of his writing at
first glance. His poetry features religious themes, classical references, and images of
the sea. I was intrigued and
wanted to know more about
this poet.
Through my research, I
learned that William graduated from Afton High School
in 1897 at the age of 26. Why
did he complete high school
so late?
It seems that prior to, or just
after, earning his high-school
diploma, William taught in
several schools, including
Russell Hill, Melondy Hill,
the Baker District and Vallonia Springs.
In addition to teaching, William held two pastorates, one
in Brisben and one in McDonough. He was also a member of the First Baptist Church
in Afton.
After graduating from Afton High School, William
Dimorier attended Colgate
University, earning an English degree in 1903. That fall,
he joined the faculty at Keuka
College and a year later, at the
Cook Academy.
In 1906, William arrived in
Erie to teach English to high
school students. He stayed
for nearly 40 years, much of
that time serving as assistant
principal of Academy High
School. He spent nearly every
summer back home in New
York. While in Erie, William
raised funds to build Veterans
Stadium, served as business
manager for the nationally
known Academy Singers, ran
the Teachers Bureau, officiated at athletic events, and
self-published two books of
poetry.
William spent most nights
and weekends at the high
school, and he spent most summers in Chenango and Broome
Counties. Upon his retirement
from the Erie School District
in 1941, he returned to Afton
to live with his sister, Mary
Wood, until he passed away in
1951.
My goal for this project is to
publish William E. Dimorier’s
biography and republish his
poetry, most of which is in the
public domain. In addition, I
hope that he receives recognition from the Erie School District, something that was not
done when he retired (a yearbook later paid tribute to him).
I also plan to donate some artifacts to the Afton Historical
Society, so that the community
can learn more about him, and
I hope that he will receive recognition there, as well.
Last summer, I traveled to
Afton and was pleased to finally meet Charles Decker, in
person, at the Afton Museum.
During that visit, he provided
even more artifacts to fill out
William’s life story, In addition, William’s grand-niece,
Beverly Wood Douglas, and
her friend Pat Dean, guided
me on a tour of key locations
and landmarks pertinent to Mr.
Dimorier’s life.
Now that my project is
nearing completion, I am appealing to your community for
information or artifacts, however small; that might pertain
to William E. Dimorier and his
family.
If you have information
about William E. Dimorier,
or would like more information about the project, please
contact me: Ann Silverthorn,
4017 Sierra Drive, Erie, PA
16506 or via e-mail at: [email protected] or
phone: 814-450-8549.

Bainbridge Native Celebrates Five Years
Ministering at Civil War Reenacting Events
By Scott J. Payne
On Oct. 6, at the Old Mill
Village in New Milford, Pa.,
Living His-Story Ministries
celebrated its fifth anniversary
of sharing the Gospel of Christ
with the Civil War reenacting
community. At this event I was
once again on the field with my
men of the 1st Virginia Light
Artillery-Powhatan
Battery,
providing prayers, encouragement, first aid and moral support to them.
Living His-Story Ministries
was founded in 2008 after I
noticed the great need for a
Christian influence and discipling in the Civil War reenacting community. I am a native
of Bainbridge and earned my
Eagle Scout award as a member of Troop 88, Sidney. Living His-Story Ministries is a
non-denominational ministry
whose main target group is
those who are interested in the
American Civil War, either as a
casual student or a full fledged
reenactor. I have seen the Lord
work mightily over these five
years.
I have had the opportunity to
minister to the public, as well
as my fellow reenactors during
our encampments together. The
Sunday morning worship service is always the center point
of an event’s itinerary. I have
preached in barns, schoolhouses, churches and even at the
former site of the Elmira Civil
War Prison Camp in Elmira.
During these events I set up my
tent and fly in an area called the
“living history” area. This is
kind of like a “hands on” area
of the encampment. The public
can walk through and ask any
questions they may have about
a variety of subjects. This allows me to interact with the
public on Saturday and Sunday
afternoons. Both days include a
battle scenario and sometimes
an after battle triage. I offer a
prayer of safety for all participants in the battle and during
the battle I am on the field with
my boys and administer first
aid and give water and encouragement to the wounded. In the
after battle triage I am able to
help with the wounded as well
as giving prayers for those who
are wounded and for those who
are taken prisoner. For those
who witness these events they
know what my beliefs are. In
this part of the reenactments
the “acting” part takes a back
seat.
During the “off season” I
have numerous opportunities
to conduct Civil War programs
on various subjects. I have spoken at churches, libraries and
schools on various subject including my personal favorite,
“The Christian Soldier: Thom-
as “Stonewall” Jackson”. Other topics include “The Battle
of Gettysburg”, “The Elmira
Prison Camp”, “Chaplains of
the Civil War”, “Revivals During the Civil War”, “The Battle
of Antietam” and many others.
This always affords me another
opportunity to share the Gospel
with those in attendance. History is history, and these men
of faith lived their lives in accordance with the Scriptures
and were great leaders because
of their great faith.
In my “off time” I write articles for various Civil War
magazines and have been published numerous times in the
Camp Chase Gazette and the
Citizens Companion, both of
which are Civil War reenacting magazines, The Gazette is
geared for the soldier reenactor and the Companion is more
for the civilian reenactor. The
article topics have included
“Chaplains In Gray” which
earned me membership into
the Bonnie Blue Flag Society
of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans, of which I am an associate member, “Living HisStory Ministries” and “What I
Learned on Smallpox Island”,
about the sermon I preached
at the Elmira Prison Camp in
2012, and numerous other articles reporting on reenactments
I have been involved in. Living His-Story Ministries was
featured on the cover of local
Christian newspaper, “The Independent Baptist Voice” on
Oct. 21, 2009. The ministry,
as well as events I have taken
place in, has been featured in
the Tri-Town News in Sidney
numerous times as well as The
Deposit Courier. I am also in
the process of writing and illustrating my first book “Amos
and His Adventure at Antietam” in “The Battlefield Critters” series. This series follows the main character, Amos
the Crow, as he searches for
his parents who were last seen
flying away from the battlefield of Manassas, Va. in July
of 1861. I am also a Guardian
member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. This entails
the guardianship of the grave
of a Confederate soldier. I am
care taking the grave of Walter
Abram Baldwin of the 22nd
Georgia Heavy Artillery, who
is buried in the East Guilford
Cemetery in East Guilford.
The past five years have afforded me the opportunity to
meet many folks from all walks
of life and be able to share with
them a small portion of our nation’s history. J. William Jones,
who was the chaplain for the
13th Virginia Infantry, as well
as the author of the authoritative
book on revivals in the Confederacy, Christ In The Camp, was
quoted after the War as saying: lain allows me to be myself

not hidden, but brought to the this way. I distribute a variety

During these last five years ductions to those in attendance.
I have portrayed a variety of I also have compiled a vast

this with total sarcasm), taxes
are going up again this coming year. Just under the tax
cap. My hunch is if the present supervisor gets re-elected
again, the taxes will definitely
go over the tax cap for the next
three years. We shall see after
Nov. 5. We need to look forward for a brighter future for
you, the people of Coventry.
I will be on the Republican
ballot for councilman and Joseph A. Agunzo for judge, and
will also be on the Independent ballot with George Broeg
for councilman and Gwendolyn M. Hinman for supervisor.
We all would appreciate your
vote.
The ballot can be a little
confusing, we vote for two
councilmen, one supervisor,
and one judge.
George Broeg
Seeks Return
To Council Seat
COVENTRY - George
Broeg is running for re-election for town council in
Coventry.
I want to thank all the people who voted for me in the
primary and hope you will
support me on Election Day.
It has been a quick four
years in serving the people
of Coventry. We have made
progress in some areas, but
there is still much more work
to be done.
I was the driving force, and
the liaison for the town board
in transitioning to a new town
assessor. I kept my word to
the people of Coventry and
worked hard to see the process
through, and sort out our new
assessor Brian Fitts. He is re-
spectful to the people of Coventry, is fair in his practices
and openly offers the formula
on how he came to the assessment. This was all we ever
wanted in an assessor for Coventry, and it is what you, the
people of Coventry, deserve.
I have also kept my word
to the people of Coventry by
fighting higher taxes and voted against raising your taxes. I
will always work hard to keep
taxes low in Coventry.
I hope we will get a chance
to speak before Election Day,
but if I miss you I am always
available to you on my home
line 639-3088. If you have any
questions regarding the town,
please do not hesitate to call
me - I welcome your calls.
I want to thank all the people that have supported me the
last four years, and I hope to
serve you all for another four
years.
Please come out on Election
Day and vote, Tuesday, Nov.
5. Your vote counts.
Gwendolyn Hinman
Is Candidate For
Coventry Supervisor
COVENTRY – Gwendolyn “Gwen” Hinman is a
candidate for Coventry Town
Supervisor.
Being a lifelong resident, local farmer and town business
owner, with my family living
and working in this area, I
want the best for this town
and its citizens. As a farmer,
and with my sisters owner
of the community store, I am
keenly aware of what it’s like
to struggle to just make ends
meet. This fact is the cornerstone of my qualifications as
supervisor.
As a farmer and store owner
(with gas pumps) the regulations, permits, licenses, inspections by county, state
and federal are nearly endless
and require accurate record
keeping as well as timely
reporting.
Farming and business ownership (with employees) also
requires accounting and bookkeeping skills. Add to that insurance, workers comp., tax
reporting, well you get it, I
have the experience to do the
job.
Our town must become
much more business friendly.
Each new or expanded business is a new or expanded revenue stream into our tax base.
I am respectfully asking for
your vote in November. A vote
for me is a vote for farmers,
local business, less tax, less
government, more compassion
and a better day for Coventry.
Please Vote Nov. 5

George Westcott
Seeks Re-election
As Coventry Supervisor
COVENTRY – George L.
Westcott is seeking re-election as the Town of Coventry
Supervisor.
I am a long time resident of
the Town of Coventry, I graduated from Afton Central High
School in 1978. After graduation I went to work at the
Raymond Corporation and in
1982 joined the United States
Air Force. My career included
over 21 years of honorable
service in the United States
Air Force where my last tour
of duty was in Afghanistan
fighting the War on Terror. I
returned to the Town of Coventry to live and work at the
Raymond Corporation as a
manager. Prior to that I worked
at Lockheed Martin as a master planner on government
contracts. My educational
background includes a Bachelor of Science in aviation,
plus numerous management
and leadership schools while
in the Air Force and private
employment.
I sit on the Chenango County Board of Town Supervisors
and hold seats on the Public
Works and Personnel Committees as well. I am familiar with
“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” and compiled
budgets and submitted them
for approval and disbursement in my present employment. I also understand the
importance of state, county,
Civil Service and town laws
and how they affect the Town
of Coventry and its residents.
I also believe in transparency
and openness of all the town’s
records for the Town of Coventry people to view.
Since serving as Coventry Town Supervisor, I have
worked to make improvements to the Town of Coventry. With the mutual aid of the
town board I have completed
unfinished state audits and
implemented financial and vehicle use policies for the use of
the town’s resources. I was instrumental in the drafting and
finalization of a local law providing for a partial exemption
from town property taxes to
persons with disabilities who
have limited income. Also,
during my tenure I researched,
interviewed and with the town
board’s approval, appointed
a new assessor to fill the vacancy left to me by the prior
supervisor’s appointment. Responding to the concerns of
town constituents, I took the
lead to get thousands of tires
cleaned up on the property
across the street from the town
hall. Working in partnership
with governmental agencies
and property owners to make
necessary agreements for the
cleanup, all tires have been removed and properly disposed
of. I have helped to improve
community involvement by
making the towns resources
available for groups and activities such as 4H, the Blueberry
Festival, softball teams from
the local area and the months’
long EMT training course
drawing EMT personnel from
several towns.
I will be available on Oct.
27 to answer questions during “Meet and Greet the Candidates” from 3-5 p.m. at the
Silo Restaurant. I ask that the
voters come out to support me
on Nov. 5 at the general election and believe every vote
COVENTRY – John E.
Wicks, Jr., is seeking the position as councilman on the
Coventry Town Board.
I have been a resident of
Coventry for 58 years. My
wife, Diane and I have been
married for 38 years and have
a daughter.
I am a retired farmer, as
well as a produce (potato)
farmer. I was vice president
of the Coventry Milk Producers Co-op for 35 years. I was a
member of the Dairy Farmers
of America for five years.
Three summers were spent
mowing for the Coventry
Highway Department.
I would like to see taxes
and spending held in check
and more incentive to add new
businesses in our town.
I am a concerned citizen of
Coventry and made it a point
of attending most of the town
board meetings.
Please come out to support
me Nov. 5, as every vote is
important.
SIDNEY
William Heath
Is Candidate For
Sidney Supervisor
SIDNEY - William “Bill”
Heath is running for the position of Town of Sidney
Supervisor.
I have spent the majority of my life in and around
the Sidney area. A position
at ACCO Brands (then Keith
Clark) 28 years ago, brought
me back to this area permanently. Throughout my career
at ACCO Brands, I have taken
advantage of different types of
training from “working with
difficult people” to different
management styles. One of
the most rewarding programs
I attended was the Leadership
Delaware program sponsored
by SUNY Delhi.
I also have a history of community service, holding the
position of secretary for the
Delaware Valley Humane Society since 2002. As a member
of the DVHS board, I assisted
with re-writing the organizations by-laws and many of the
policies and procedures they
still follow.
Having been a councilman
for the past nine months, there
are a number of issues that I
see that need to be addressed.
Transparency is one of those
issues. The community should
be aware of what the town
board is doing. A web site is
in progress that will help accomplish this goal. Items to
be posted on this site include
property assessments, meeting
schedules, agendas prior to
meetings and minutes following, any news that would affect
the community, issues brought
up at the county level, links to
other sites and forms needed
to obtain information from the
clerk. Also, at monthly meetings, time should be allotted
for people to speak on issues
that affect them and the town.
I believe the combination
of experience I have gained
through ACCO Brands, the
Delaware Valley Humane Society and the months I have
spent as a councilman will
help guide me in the decisions

John Woodyshek
Seeks Seat On
Sidney Board
SIDNEY - I am running for
a seat on the Town of Sidney
Council. I bring to the table my
40 years of municipal government experience, 34 of which
have been here in Sidney, and the
ability to listen to and resolve issues; I think those that know me
know that I do my homework,
think things through, try to be
fair and logical, I’m prepared
to explain and defend positions
taken, and to do what’s right.
The Sidney Town Board does
not need to be controversial,
or confrontational. It needs to
be respectful and respected. It
needs to be fiscally responsible.
Sidney needs to be progressive,
not regressive and positive in its
actions and perception. Sidney
fortunately has a lot of attributes
that most municipalities our size
do not have that we can and must
accentuate: jobs, a hospital, recreation facilities and programs,
a well equipped and trained fire
department, a library second to
none, housing, water and wastewater infrastructure, rail and
interstate highway transportation, large and small shopping
opportunities, an airport, an Industrial Park, East Sidney Lake,
senior citizen living, parks, nature trails, daycare, community
service organizations and places
of worship and much more. We
should be instilling in our residents, our students, and also in
our transient workforce (that we
have been blessed with) all the
reasons why they should feel
good about working, residing,
building their homes and raising
their families here.
On Specific Issues:
• The Town Council needs
to respectfully listen to its constituents, all of them, and find
solutions to issues.
• Pipeline: This can be an
important addition to Sidney’s
infrastructure and can provide
the source for cleaner and less
expensive energy to homes,

POLITICAL CANDIDATES’ STATEMENTS
(Contineud from age 11)
businesses and industry. On the
other hand, there are negative
impacts to this that are primarily to individual property owners where the actual pipeline
is proposed. This is a federally
regulated activity and there are
laws in place to deal with these
impacts that are specific to each
property owner. The most practical thing that the town can do
is insist that the property owners’ desires are accommodated
by the gas company and Federal
Government in the location of
the pipe wherever reasonably
possible and, in any event, that
they are compensated accordingly for the intrusion on their
property.
• Hospital: In general I think
that it would be better if the
town was not in the landlord
business; however in any event,
the town should be commended
for their efforts since the closing of the hospital is apparently
turning the fiscal situation at
the hospital around from where
it was four years ago. It is imperative that we nurture the TriTown Hospital agreements and
that we continue the emergency
room services and efforts to
expand on other medical care
activities.
• Sidney Center Wastewater:
The town needs to be directly
involved in (not leaving it to
others) and complete the feasibility study already authorized.
The town needs to interact in
the evaluation of options and
should pursue an option affordable to the affected property
owners.
• Housing: Existing codes
should be reasonably enforced.
Funding for rehabilitation
should be investigated. Existing hazards such as the one recently discussed in Sidney Center, should be handled through
code enforcement and at least
be required to be secured by the
owner.
• Sidney Highway Department: Maintenance of town
highways is a critically important function of the town and
must be provided with a responsible budget.
• Gas exploration and extracting: This has gotten way out of
perspective. The regulation of
gas exploration and extraction is
and should be the responsibility
of New York State. They have
the resources. We don’t. They
have the science, the personnel,
the testimonials, and five years
of Pennsylvania experience to
ensure that whatever they approve, if anything, they can do
it right and enforce the regulations that undoubtedly they
would add to any approval. If
they approve anything, they are
not going to open the door wide
open and allow the gas companies to do what they want. We
as a town and our State Legislators should demand that the
state strictly control and regulate whatever they approve; that
they protect the public from
contamination; that they protect

the rights of property owners to
utilize resources on their property provided they do not (other
than temporarily) interfere with
the peaceful use of properties
adjoining any exploration or
extraction site and that, in the
event of violations or damages,
the responsible parties are held
accountable. Furthermore, the
financial resources that may be
necessary to correct problems if
they should occur should be required to be provided up front.
At this time the town does not
need to get involved with this
and should stay out of it and
focus on real and more pressing town issues of which there
is no shortage. The town must
review existing town highways
and pass legislation if necessary
to insure adequate control and
protection of town roads.
I believe that Sidney can take
care of Sidney.
We don’t need “outsiders”
coming here to tell us what we
can do with our property and resources or how to run the town’s
business. Sidney can do it. And
we don’t need to be the battleground for everybody’s crusade
which in recent years and continuing to date has solved nothing but has given Sidney a black
eye and has made us out to be
a laughing stock locally, at the
county level and even nationally. This has to stop now. Town
business is serious business handling serious taxpayer money
(taxes over $1M; budgets over
$2M) and should be performed
by qualified, thoughtful, community-minded persons.
You can’t run town business
by thumbing your nose at residents with good faith issues, or
at the Delaware County Planning Board when they provide
requested guidance or at your
own town attorney by ignoring
his counsel as you pass a local
law, and you can’t disregard
taxpaying landowners. If in conflict, we need to strive to find a
common acceptable ground to
operate from and not continue
to polarize this community. We
cannot afford to allow Sidney to
stagnate.
I bring my track record of
volunteer community service
and my experience in municipal government, budgeting,
problem solving, and working
with the public to the table for
the betterment of the Town of
Sidney.
Personally:
• I am a long time member of
the Sidney Rotary Club where
I have had a special focus on
community service.
• I am an active member of
Sacred Heart Catholic Church,
Sidney.
• I’m a member of the Cullman
Community Day Committee.
• I retired in 2012 with 34
years of service as engineer for
the Village of Sidney; where I
administered the Dept. of Public
Works, Water and Wastewater
utilities and was involved in airport improvements and funding,
Industrial Park Development,
parks improvements, library
expansions, commercial and
residential development.
• I have extensive experience
in municipal government and
working with state and federal
representatives and agencies.
• I’m a graduate of Penn State
University with a B.S. degree in
civil engineering.
• I’m a licensed professional
engineer.
• I received the Citizen of the
Years award in 2000 and again
in 2007 as one of a group honored by the Chamber of Commerce for the response to the
flood of 2006.
• I reside on Bridge Street in
the Village of Sidney with my
wife of 43 years, Faith.
• I/we have three children,
graduates of SCHS and five
grandchildren; one of which has
graduated and four are currently
in school at Sidney.
Goals:
1. Provide fiscally responsible
budgeting and pay off our
hospital debt.
2. Position Sidney to grow
economically.
3. Protect what we have in
terms of jobs and lifestyle.
4. Promote respect.
Of course we don’t know
what the next town issue will be,
but whatever it is, we as a community need to be prepared: first
by placing the right persons on
the Sidney Town Council and a
supervisor who can be counted
on to make the right decisions
on behalf of you and the town,
and secondly, they need to be
guided not by party or personality, but by what’s in the best
interest of the Town of Sidney.
I am prepared to do what’s
right and to help move the Sidney Town Board in a new direction. Hopefully one of respect
and responsible government
through rational and thoughtful
cooperation and I ask for your
vote on Nov. 5.
Also, I can’t do it alone,
and the board cannot continue
to operate the way it has with
the same people (even in the
last year) and expect different
results. This year there is an
opportunity to elect a new supervisor and two new councilmen. It’s time to focus on doing
what’s right and take the Town
of Sidney in a responsible direction by electing Jody Proffitt
and John Woodyshek to Sidney
Town Council and Gene Pigford
as Supervisor.

and the treasury departments.
Please allow Ed to keep

Rodney Renwick
Seeks Re-Election
To Highway Post
UNADILLA - Rodney Renwick is seeking re-election as
the Town of Unadilla Highway Superintendent. During
Rodney’s first term as highway superintendent he diligently worked to manage the
highway department budget
and implemented a number of
changes, which improved the
efficiency of the highway department. Rodney completely
computerized and maintains
the highway department records, thereby allowing him to
eliminate the use of a highway
bookkeeper resulting in savings of over $10,000 per year.
He restructured the town plow
routes and reduced plowing time to an average of 2.5
hours per route. Rodney also
reduced the size of the highway department through attrition. Rodney is a working
supervisor – he has a regular
winter plowing route and can
frequently be seen working
side-by–side with the rest of
the highway crew on daily
jobs. Rodney dedicates his full
time and effort to the position
of highway superintendent and
does not have any other source
of outside employment.
Rodney also expanded department revenue by selling
scrap metal and using on-line
auctions to sell surplus equipment. These activities have
netted the town nearly $40,000
since he took office. As result
of his efforts, the highway department has spent less than
allocated by the town board
each year since Rodney took
office. In fact, the 2013 annual
highway department budget
was $26,000 less than when he
came into office in 2010.
During Rodney’s first term
as highway superintendent the
floods of 2011 occurred and
washed out numerous town
roads including major damage
to Lovers Lane, Sand Hill and
Prentice Gorge. On behalf of
the town, Rodney applied for
and was awarded FEMA assistance to repair these roads.
Rodney also worked with several state and federal agencies
and was awarded funding to
perform several mitigation
projects in other areas of the
town. In total, the amount
awarded to the town for flood
recovery and mitigation was
approximately $1.6 million.
During a review of the FEMA
awards, the independent auditors commented that the
records maintained by Rodney were exemplary and they
found no deficiencies with
any of the projects. As a result
of these efforts, many of the
town roads are now in better
condition than before the flood
and the town is now better prepared to deal with similar disasters in the future.
Rodney has also worked
hard to establish and maintain a cooperative working
relationship with other local
agencies such as the Village of
Unadilla, neighboring towns
and Unatego Central School
District. One major project
in this area was the radio upgrade for the town. As a result,
of coordination and sharing
radio service and frequencies
the towns, schools and local
fire department can all “talk”
to each other on the radios allowing for better coordination
during an emergency.
Rodney was honored as the
Unadilla Fire Department Citizen of the Year for 2013 for
all of his efforts.
Rodney would like to continue as the Town of Unadilla
Highway Superintendent and
respectfully asks for your support on Nov. 5. If you have

Tracy Winchester
Is Candidate for
Highway Position
UNADILLA - Tracy Winchester announces he is a candidate for the Town of Unadilla Highway Superintendent,
on the Independent ticket,
Safer Roads.
He’s a life-long resident of
Unadilla and a small business
owner for the past 10 years.
He has 20+ years of experience in excavation and road
construction. He started as a
laborer, equipment operator
and promoted to supervisor.
He has good supervisory
and communication skills,
integrity, hard-working, resourceful and will establish
and maintain a satisfactory
working relationship with residents, employees and board
members.
If elected he will ask the
Unadilla Town Board to revisit renewing the contract
between Otsego County and
the Town of Unadilla. He feels
this is a necessity for the Town
of Unadilla to continue snowplowing all roads in the Town
of Unadilla vs. Otsego County
plowing the roads.
I ask the voters to come out
and support me on Nov. 5 from
6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Unadilla
Town Hall, 1648 St. Hwy 7. I
believe every vote is important
to the Town of Unadilla.

A CHEERFUL PROSPECT
BY ALICIA (MARSLAND) GEROMEL
The idea that compromise
is the “sensible” way to deal
with conflict has definite limits. I have seen a policewoman
chastising victims of a peeping
tom (who liked to watch them
with binoculars then call 911,
making false allegations). She
told them, “You know you are
at least half the problem. You
have to stop reacting and just
ignore him.” In this instance,
all the father had done was
hang a blanket on their front
porch so they could sit in the
breeze on a hot summer evening. He then walked to the
end of the block to check from
that angle whether the neighbor was able to peer past the
blanket. He neither looked at
or in any other way acknowledged the problem individual.
Said “neighbor” then called
the police to report that the father had threatened him with
bodily harm. Shortly thereafter, to cap off the evening,
Protective Services arrived to
interview the children as to
whether their mother had been
closeted
“inappropriately”
with a playmate of theirs.
In the face of this gross
persecution, police warned
the poor parents, “If anyone
calls us again, SOMEONE is
going to jail.” This included
the innocent parties, if they
should be harassed in any new
and creative way by their tormenter. This absence of any
common sense response to a
clearly crazy neighbor finally
forced this family to move out
of their trailer court.
All because the knee jerk
reaction was “compromise.”
In many of the instances I
have described the concept of
equal guilt and compromise
presents a quick and easy way
for teachers, police, judges,
attorneys and case workers to
shut down conflict, especially
since it is often quite difficult
to find out precisely what the
truth is. This is due to that fact
that – duh! – some people lie.
Rather than spend time ferreting out who is telling the truth,
how much more convenient to
simply assume that EVERYONE is lying!
On the national and international scene, we can see
many people advocating similar strategies in the name of
peace-making. Some equate
innocent Americans blown
up in Boston with their terrorist killers, by saying that they
are complicit in the problems
which “force” terrorists to
resort to violence. Some see
no difference between Hamas
and the Israeli army, or Taliban and allied forces in Afghanistan. When the Taliban
uses women and children as
shields, capitalizing on our
dislike of killing noncombatants, such folks blame US
when innocents die.
Compromise is only appropriate where the parties in conflict are on a reasonably equal
footing, both morally and in
terms of their relative power.
When a teacher or mediator
ignores this and treats the bully and victim as equals, they
fail to teach morality at all.
The bully ends up with little
understanding of how he was
wrong, and the victim learns
to keep their mouth shut.
The result is peace of a kind,
but an enforced peace covering a simmering resentment.
We can see the consequences
in our schools and cities and
even in countries around the
world.

Church Thanks Community
Announces Nov. 2, 16 Events
AFTON - Hope Church,
annual host of “Hope for Afton Day,” is taking pre-orders
for their Nov. 2 barbecue and
toy donations for their Nov. 16
Toy Giveaway.
Thanking
community
members for their participation and patronage at all of
the past year’s events, Hope
announces that Nov. 2 will be
the last BBQ of the year, and
Saturday, Nov. 16 will be the
Christmas Bazaar and annual
winter coat giveaway. Toys
are now being collected for
distribution during the Toy
Giveaway and Mitten Tree,
featuring free mittens, hats
and scarves, coming up on
Saturday, Dec. 14. Toy donors
should leave their items in
the toy box on the side porch
of the church, located at 129
Main St., Afton.
Hope for Afton Day was,
once again, a great success
and the church thanks all of
the vendors and food booths
for being part of that day.
Without you, there would be
no event.
Special thanks go out to
Rob Humphrey for initiating
the 5-K run this year. This was
well-received and a huge success with proceeds going to
the upgrade of Liggitt Park
Playground. Rob wants to do
the event annually with proceeds designated for different
community projects.
Jerry Marvin coordinated
the Hope for Afton Day car
display. Pink Faith was there
to remind us of the great work
they do in the community
and of the need to make us
all aware of the fight against
breast cancer.

WINTER HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT
PROCEDURES
It is the Highway Department of the Town of Unadilla’s goal to keep the Town
Highways in a passable condition during the winter months.
Any obstructions located in
the Town of Unadilla right of
way may hinder the ability of
snow removal and storage. In
an attempt to clear roads, the
drivers try to be careful not
to damage any obstruction in
the right of way. However,
that is not always possible.
Any damage to mail boxes
and fences when the Highway
Department is maintaining the
roads during the winter will
not be repaired or replaced
by the Town. Therefore, the
repairs/replacement will be at
the owner’s expense.
Vehicles parked on the Town
right of way are also a hindrance when clearing winter
road conditions. Attempts will
be made to contact the owners
in order that the vehicles can
be removed, however, if the
Town Highway Department is
unable to reach the owner, the
vehicle(s) will be towed at the
owners expense.

Chuck D’Imperio to Present
“My Town Is a Cathedral”
SIDNEY - The Sidney
Chamber of Commerce will be
sponsoring a Meet and Greet
event on Monday, Oct. 28 from
6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Sidney
Golf Course. Chuck D’Imperior
will presents “My Town is a
Cathedral: Sidney As I Remember It.” Tickets are available
through advanced sale only,

like to purchase a ticket please
contact the Chamber office or
any Chamber director.
In “My Town is a Cathedral”
award-winning
broadcaster,
author and newspaper columnist Chuck D’Imperio gives a
funny, delightful and poignant
presentation of growing up in
the 1950s and 1960s in Small
Town, U.S.A. The subject matter is Chuck’s hometown of
Sidney, a small working class
community of 5,000 situated
along the banks of the Susquehanna River in rural Central
New York.

will resonate with everyone who
grew up in a similar environment: the parades, the eccentric
old timers, the watering holes,
the Mom and Pop businesses on
Main Street, the working class
neighborhoods filled with houses with big porches, driveways
filled with big station wagons
and back yards filled with big
families. Chuck has given this
presentation numerous times
around New York State and he
is excited about bringing his
presentation, “My Town is a
Cathedral” back to where it all
started...Sidney!”

HELPING WITH THE MAILINGS for the United Way of
Sidney’s annual campaign are members of the Boys &
Girls Club of Sidney.
Boys & Girls Club of Sidney Youth
Donate Time to Sidney United Way
SIDNEY – Oct. 9 through
Oct. 11 proved to be very
busy and very productive days
for members of the Boys &
Girls Club of Sidney. As an
annual tradition, thousands
of United Way of Sidney annual campaign mailings were
put together by BGCS club
members. What started off as
a Torch Club and Keystone
Club community service activity quickly became a clubwide activity with all ages
and groups volunteering. The
overwhelming willingness of
club youth to assist with what
could have been a cumbersome task, and use teamwork
and delegation amongst themselves to complete the task
was a powerful example of
the leadership skills and positive character attributes each
of our members possess.
Volunteering and commu-
nity service are very important
activities for our youth to engage in, as such activities can
have far reaching impacts upon
individual lives and communities. The commitment, motivation, diligence and work
ethic required to complete
community service projects,
all contribute to the ongoing
character development of our
youth and their appreciation
of intrinsic rewards (an internal sense of satisfaction for
helping someone/something).
Tangible rewards used to
recognize and appreciate youth
efforts, however, are also useful in keeping youth engaged,
especially chocolate and pizza. A special thanks to club
staff member Samantha Burns
for her delicious brownies and
The United Way of Sidney for
providing a pizza party to all
our participating youth.

Girl Scouts to Scare-up Fun
In Haunted House Oct. 25, 26
BAINBRIDGE -The Bainbridge-Guilford Girl Scout
Service Unit 365 is once again
having their annual Haunted
House on Friday, Oct. 25 and
Saturday, Oct. 26 from 79 p.m. We are very excited
and cannot wait to once again
scare up some fun.
We will have our Haunted
House rain or shine along with
cider and donuts. Our haunted
hayride will depend on the
weather. We do ask that all
children under the age of 10
be supervised by an adult, and
that any older kids be respectful of our props and people
who work in and around the
haunted house.
We love to do as many community activities as we can
with little to no cost to keep
us and our kids entertained
without having to travel far.
In the future we would like to
expand this event to include
more activities throughout
the day. If you have ideas or
something you may be able to
offer, please contact Jessica
Chambers at 267-2378. In the
meantime, please come and
enjoy a scary stroll through
our house.
Beware! It may be scary
for young children but all are
welcome. One of our goals
when expanding this event is
to have a more child friendly
version during the day. There
is no charge but donations are
gratefully accepted to cover
our costs.
