This year, permanent display plaques for all Sports Hall of Fame inductees since its 2003 inception will make their way to the wall outside the high school gym leading to the pool. Make sure to get your tickets prior to the dinner, as there is a distinct possibility of a sellout. SIDNEY - A community meeting to help clarify aspects of the flood mitigation efforts in Sidney will be held Thursday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. in room 202 at the Sidney Civic Center. Representatives of the two lead agencies, N.Y. Rising and Delaware Co., are expected to be present to answer questions related to the current status of the flood mitigation program. Sidney Village Mayor Andy Matviak said he understands there is confusion and questions over the role of each agency and the particulars of the homeowners buyout program, as well as concerns about current options for those in the flood plain whose properties were damaged as a result of the 2011 flood, and what they can expect in the future. He emphasized that the “village wants upfront transparency but at this point we don’t know all the answers.” Matviak said the village has submitted 139 properties for the buyout program at $19M but not all the properties have been approved. Initially the damage figure for eligible properties was 50 per cent, but Matviak said in some instances that has been waived. There are 31 properties in the village approved for the first round of buyouts and Matviak said he expects these houses will start coming down this fall. Delaware County will be doing the demolition, and at this time there will be no outside contractors. As for the amount each homeowner will receive for their property, Matviak said he understands that the original estimate was the assessed value of the home prior to the flood. In addition to the buyout for homeowners in the flood plain who qualify, there are two other options - the elevation of the home above the flood level or the relocation of the home to another site. Both options are being explored as there are many factors involved including the viability of raising a structure, and the need to consider the practicality of moving a structure considering such items as road obstructions. In any case, Matviak said no one would be required to accept the buyout or any of the options. “No one will force you to do anything.” Matviak said the village’s long-term goal is to buy the properties under the buyout program that are west of the Sidney Fire Department building on lower River St. and turn the majority of this area into green space that would be used primarily for recreational purposes. Matviak explained that taking down the houses alone would not solve the flooding problem. Rather the objective is to have a plan for the green space that would help to reduce the amount of water going into the river and causing flooding. The details of such a plan need to be worked out once the layout of structures still in the area is determined. The plan will account for Keith Clark Park and its recreational features, and the Veterans Me- morial Park as positives factors already in the area. The village is also concerned about the Main St. business community, which also suffered flood damage. The village would like to see a green area on Main St. that would also divert the water. Matviak said a grant for Main St. was approved a year ago but the village has yet to receive funding. Nevertheless, the village has been advised to apply for another grant for Main St. Another important consideration is residential options after the buyout. “We don’t want to lose our residents or our tax base,” said Matviak. He noted that the village is working to make sure these homeowners have local options to either purchase or rent. While at this time Matviak said he could not provide details, he is optimistic that these options will be available. Where housing is concerned, in addition to wanting to provide options for those moving out of the flood area, Matviak said they would like to see provisions available for the older population, includ- ing those who might want to go south in the winter but reside in Sidney the rest of the year. He said they would also like to see housing opportunities that would attract younger families. He noted that with both ACCO and Amphenol hiring, they would like to see employees live as well as work in Sidney. “We have a vision as to where we want to be in 10 or 15 years and we need community involvement to get there,” said Matviak. “Of course there will be changes along the way.” He credited employees and department heads with working hard on behalf of the residents and the village’s future. “The state and federal governments have made a commitment to help reduce flooding in the future,” said Matviak. “For a community of 3,900 people, the amount of money coming in to help us is unprecedented. We are working hard to get as much as we can and do as much as we can but it doesn’t happen overnight; it’s an evolving process,” said Matviak. A $500 DONATION is presented to Ed Ray, president of the Bainbridge Community Foundation (r.), by John Payne, president of the Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce (l.), to support the foundation’s project to complete the updating of the children’s playground at the William Payne Park.

Now Open at 55 Main St., Sidney SIDNEY - After 14 years experience in the insurance business in Harpursville, Andrew P. Hinkley has returned to his hometown of Sidney to open Andrew Hinkley Agency, Inc. at 55 Main St. While his door has been open since the end of July, he now is looking forward to hosting an official grand opening this fall. His agency offers all insurance products from home and auto to commercial small business, life, mortgage insurance, disability income, as well as wealth accumulation products, long-term care and estate planning. Tonia Northrop, who has been with the agency for seven years, serves as the lead customer representative. He has also hired Melissa Baker as a customer service representative, and in the future plans to hire a sales force. Early on it was “elk” that prompted Andrew to go into the insurance business. In 1998 he started a small elk business and needed insurance coverage. “No one except Farm Family wanted to or would cover elk,” said Hinkley. Hinkley credits Russell Hamilton of Harpursville for bringing him into the insurance business. “He was my Farm Family agent who helped me get started, trained and motivated me to become an insurance agent with Farm Family.” Andy was born at The Hospital in Sidney in 1975. He became an Eagle Scout through Troop 99 at age 16. He played football for the Sidney Warriors and graduated from Sidney Central School in 1994. After graduation he earned an AAS and a BS from SUNY Cobleskill. He returned home and took a job at Amphenol but later decided, “I liked working for myself rather than a large corporation.” Hinkley has two children, one in Sidney High School and one in Sidney Middle School. He served for a time on the Sidney Board of Education when there was a vacancy and he “stepped up to help.” He also coached softball. Farming is Andy’s hobby. “I raise beef cattle on the family farm outside Unadilla on Crane Hill where my family has farmed for many generations. I enjoy anything outdoors, that’s where I love to be. I especially like to watch my animals and crops grow.” For more information on the Andrew Hinkley Agency, see his ad in this newspaper.

STATE SENATOR JAMES L. SEWARD New Tax Relief Measures Taxes are one of the items cited on a regular basis as a major problem for New York State. That’s why tax relief is one of my top priorities – and several new measures are set to take hold to help reduce the tax burden of hardworking New Yorkers and their families. In the coming weeks, thousands of local families with children under the age of 17 will receive a $350 family tax relief check. These checks, which are designed to help families cope with the rising cost of raising aa child, will provide more than $400 million in direct tax relief to hard working New York families. You do not need to apply to receive the relief check. If eligible, you will automatically be mailed a check from the State Department of Taxation and Finance. You are eligible for 2014 if, on your 2012 state tax return you: • Were a New York State resident the entire year; • Claimed at least one child under the age of 17 as a dependent; • Had New York State adjusted gross income between $40,000 and $300,00; • Had a state tax liability after credits that was zero or greater. • In 2015 and 2016, you will claim the Family Tax Relief Credit when you file your income tax return, with eligibility based on the return you file. I also worked with my senate colleagues during the past legislative session to create a new incentive to encourage local governments and school districts to operate efficiently and hold the line on tax increases. In return, local homeowners in these communities will soon be receiving a new property tax rebate check. The new Property Tax Freeze Credit will provide direct relief to taxpayers in school districts and municipalities that stay within the two percent property tax cap and submit efficiency plans to the state that result in local cost savings of at least one percent. Many local towns, villages, and counties, along with schools, have already been working to increase efficiencies, trim costs, and share services. When this plan was adopted, as part of the state budget, I fought hard to ensure that those who are already making strides will receive credit for the cost reduction plans already in place. As many as 2.8 million property taxpayers outside of New York City will receive direct property tax rebate checks in October as a result of this program. After this year, the relief will come in the form of a tax credit. In all, the property tax freeze program will provide $1.5 billion in property tax relief over the next three years. Along with the two new property tax relief programs, the highly beneficial STAR (School Tax Relief Program) and Enhanced STAR are still going strong. This year, the final state budget included $3.4 billion for these programs which deliver major tax relief to millions of middle class families and seniors. I also want to offer one last reminder for those who have yet to re-register for the basic STAR program – there is still time! You may recall that last year, at about this time, the tax department mailed out instructions to those currently receiving Basic STAR benefits with instructions on how to register. In my senate district, about 90 percent of homeowners who had been receiving basic STAR re-registered. While that is a high rate, it also means there are some who failed to sign back up and will lose out on their Basic STAR benefits. I don’t want to see that happen. Let me be very clear - senior citizens receiving the Enhanced STAR exemption are not affected by the new registration requirement. In order to receive Enhanced STAR, seniors must continue to apply annually, or participate in the income verification program. To register for Basic STAR, or for information on the Family Tax Relief Credit and the Property Tax Freeze Credit check online at www.tax. ny.gov.

Later in the meeting, a resolution was moved stating that the board favored annexation of the Wilson property contingent upon the results of the village sewer and water system capabilities. Two thirds of Wilson’s property is now in the village of Bainbridge, leaving approximately 16 acres that is not. Craig Wilson, represented by Attorney David A. DeClue, and working with engineer Gordon Sheret, was present to explain the proposed development plan for slightly under 50 lots.

The pavilion would be named the J. F. VanCott Pavilion and would cost the village nothing except manpower for the village crew to perform the basic site preparation. Basic installation of the concrete slab, Unalam arches and shingle roof building would be done by the Unadilla Silo Company. The building would be 15 feet tall with 9 feet between the floor and the back. The original proposal said that it would be built near the tennis courts. Trustee Judd suggested that it might be better put behind the tennis courts than beside them so as not to be too near to the parking area. The board accepted the gift of the pavilion with the exact location pending. Note was made that they have until next spring to locate it. Unatego gridders post 44-0 shut-out over S-E.

Russell, president of the board of education, outlined a proposal involving the merging of the Otego and Unadilla Central schools. The plan, calling for an enriched curriculum and the construction of a $1,900,000 junior-senior high school, has been studied for the past year by the Otego and Unadilla Boards of Education and their citizens committees upon recommendation of the state education department. Approximately 138 voters raised their hands in opposition to the merger and only 11 were in favor of the proposition. A similar reaction was manifested at the Otego school meeting held on the same evening. At that meeting, 110 taxpayers voted “no” and 69 “yes.” Sept. 22, 1899 - The original San Francisco minstrels will play at Mulford & Siver’s Hall on Sept. 28.

The ACCO Brands Culture Teams NYS Sheriffs Week Is Observed September 21-27 From the Delaware County Sheriff’s Desk The Office of Sheriff has been an integral part of the criminal justice system in New York State and in Delaware County throughout our history, having been established in the State’s first constitution in 1777 and having been continued in every succeeding constitution and having been one of the original constitutional offices of our County. Despite changes in its function, status and powers during its long history, the Office of Sheriff has maintained a continuous existence, preserved its distinguishing heritage, and continued to be an essential component of our criminal justice community. The Office of Sheriff has evolved into a modern, professional, full-service law enforcement agency, manned by fullytrained police officers, using state-of-the-art technology and applying the latest and most advanced theories and practices in the criminal justice field. The Office of Sheriff is unique in the community, and the duties of the office go far beyond the traditional role of “Keeper of the Peace,” and extend into many facets of public service, including maintaining the county jail, providing security in our courts, dispatching emergency services, and serving and executing civil process for our courts. As a constitutionally empowered entity directly responsible to the people, the ancient Office of Sheriff remains, even today, responsive and accountable to the public it serves. It is fitting to celebrate the historical contributions of the Office of Sheriff and the significant role that the Sheriffs play in our modern criminal justice system. Tri-Town News — Thursday, September 18, 2014— 5 Sidney Central School Gets Strong Marks in State Audit Afton Area C of C Spotlights Equine Retirement Center AFTON - The Greater Afton Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to spotlight a very special and unique local business this month. Almost everyone looks forward to retirement - a time to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. At Forget Me Not Equine Retirement Center/Highland Hollow Farm in Afton, former show horses, breeding stock and workhorses do just that. In 1984, Bob and Dona Davey decided to move their horses to the family farm in Afton from their home in Highland, Md. Bob, born in Afton, retired as a research scientist at the USDA National Agriculture Research Center, Beltsville, Md. Dona left the faculty of the Animal Science Department of the University of Maryland where she taught animal nutrition courses, rabbit production, horse breeding farm management and was faculty supervisor for the equine research farm. When they moved to Afton, they expanded their herd and bred and showed their Morgans as Highland Hollow Farm. Their horses did quite well in various disciplines. One gelding, Dunscore Titan, purchased and shown by Delores Bucci of Baldwinsville, was named Morgan Park Horse of the Year for two years by the American Horse Show Association. Titan is now retired at Forget Me Not living in the paddock and stall he was born in 24 years ago. After Bob Davey’s death in 2005, Dona changed the direction of the farm and developed Forget Me Not Equine Re- tirement Center. Two retired horses have been boarded at the farm since 2005. Currently, the youngest horse, a 20-yearold and a 41-year-old pony are boarded there. Special diets are often required due to lack of teeth, decreased ability to digest food or metabolic problems such as Cushing’s disease. FMNERC specializes in nutritional problems. The horses have 24-hour supervision with both Dona, the farm owner, and an employee, Bonnie Snyder, living on the farm. Although most of the horses’ owners live out of state, they like to visit, bringing treats and spending time with their old equine friends. Each horse has its own stall and, depending on weather, horses are turned out during the day or night into pastures or exercise lots, all of which have shelters. Horses can also be exercised in the indoor arena in severe weather. The farm farrier, Mario Palombo, visits the farm at least monthly to care for their feet and Valley Vet Associates of Sidney provides 24-hour veterinary care. Steve Richards of Hamilton, an equine dentist, also helps with tooth care. The center is located in Nineveh at 357 Co. Rt. 26. Prospective clients often come through recommendations by boarders, vets and trainers. Contact the center through their website at www.equine-retirement.com, the Greater Afton Area Chamber of Commerce website at www.aftonchamberofcommerce or at 639-2409. SIDNEY - The Sidney Central School District was recognized by the State Comptroller’s Office for taking a cost-effective approach to controlling expenditures and improving student achievement. The Comptroller’s Office conducted an audit based on the period of July 1, 2012-Feb. 20, 2014. “We’re very pleased with the findings of this audit,” Sidney Superintendent Bill Christensen said. “We appreciate that this report shows the significant steps we have made for academic improvement in the past four years. We will continue to improve and get stronger as we move forward.” The report notes the Comptroller’s Office examined Sidney’s technology and special education expenditures, cost savings analyses, real property taxes and test scores. The report commends the district for taking steps to increase educational productivity and reduce costs associated with instructional materials and program delivery. It was noted during the 2011-12 fiscal year, expenditures were controlled by utilizing technology and bringing most special education programs in house. Noting that officials took action in March 2011 to raise test scores through teaching and learning technologies, the report showed test scores increased by nearly 43 percent from 2010 through 2013. The district’s combined grades 3-8 scores in 2010 ranked 21 out of 26 school districts for passing scores on the standardized tests. For 2013, Sidney ranked 12th out of the same districts. During this time, the district also lowered its real property tax levy by nearly seven percent over a four-year period of time. Sidney also found ways to control expenditures as it raised test scores. As an example, the Comptroller’s report showed how officials reduced the general fund expenditures by more than $613,000 annually and, at the same time, obtained more than $1.6 million in new computer equipment with no net increase on the general fund. Sidney officials have also determined that replacing printed textbooks with e-books will save the district approximately $139,000 over a 10-year period, but will also help increase scores by giving students the most current information available. The full report can be viewed on the school’s website (www. sidneycsd.org) and was presented to the public at the Sept. 16 Sidney Board of Education meeting.

Improvements Are Made to Gilbertsville Cemeteries GILBERTSVILLE — The Butternuts Cemetery Association, which comprises the Brookside and Prentiss Cemeteries of Gilbertsville, has been very busy in 2014. Through the concerted efforts of several fundraisers, including the sale of Brooks’ barbecued chicken and homemade pies, Gertrude Hawk candy and craft items and receipts from the bottle return bin, the treasury has seen steady growth. The most significant response resulted from the annual appeal letter, sent this spring, to which many families and individuals who have interest in the cemeteries contributed in good measure. From these efforts, we were able to erect a new stone entrance and point up the pillars at the Brookside Cemetery. The overgrown landscaping near the entrance was also removed. The improvement to the entrance of this cemetery was, in large part, possible through significant donation of Charlotte Halbert Oliphant. The pointing up of the vault was placed on hold until additional funds can be realized. The board is indebted to caretakers, Kyle Brannick who tends the Brookside Cemetery and to Rich Hall who takes care of the Prentiss Cemetery. The Butternuts Cemetery Board of Directors consists of Chris Bianchi, president; Carolee Wright, vice president; Roberta Halbert, secretary/treasurer; Keith Klingman, superintendent; and Clint Hall, Jody Hughes, William Musson, Rick Pope and Scott Winter, trustees. It is the goal of the board to continue to provide a peaceful and beautiful setting for those who have gone on before us.

Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian SEPTEMBER 2014 Kalurah Temple stood on Washington Street in Binghamton. The building is now occupied by the Assembly of God Church at number 255. On September 26, 1924, the fraternity celebrated its Silver Jubilee, having been founded in Binghamton in 1899. I do not know if there were other fraternities named Kalurah, but the announcement states that “Caravans of adjacent Temples are forming for the pilgrimage to Kalurah to extend their aid and comfort. Let us give them Kalurah Temple in Binghamton from “Broome County. a true Arabic greeting. Let us American Revolution Bicentennial, 1776-1976,” from add another star to the constelTown Historian. lation of Kalurah.” The announcement is headed by a quotation in Arabic and a reference is made to a “beautiful vision revealed by Allah.” I know nothing about this organization and assumed that it was Masonic as some of its members were Masons from Afton. It probably was a larger organization, but I do not know its name so cannot research it. The Temple building still stands at 255 Washington Street in Binghamton and is very imposing. I don’t know when the fraternity disbanded, but in 1961 a disastrous fire destryed the old Armory building, then home of what is now Broome Community College on Upper Front Street. The school remained there until 1956 when it moved to its present site. The Assembly of~God,Church has since occupied the handsome building. Kalurah Temple had members from the Afton area. Bert B. Hyde, Afton pharmacist, was a charter member, one of 42. The leader was Illustrious Potentate R.G. Pratt in 1924. Another list, with photographs, shows G. Ross Estes from Nineveh Junction and Bert B. Hyde from Afton. They have the title of Potentate Representatives. They come from a variety of towns such as Corning, Elmira, Harpersfield, Gilbertsville, and Waverly. Apparently there were branches of the organization in those places. George Ross Estes lived in Nineveh Junction in 1924, but later lived on Spring Street in Afton. He died in 1951 at age 69 and is buried in Glenwood Cemetery. Bert B. Hyde died in 1939 at age 73 and is also buried in Glenwood Cemetery. His drugstore is now a part of the Vincent’s Italian Restaurant property. High energy bills making you uncomfortable?

She was a former member of Home Bureau, Chenango Valley Doll Club, Original Doll Artist of America, and Chenango Community Players. Wanting to introduce her daughter to ballet and tap dance, she taught and operated a dance studio in her home for several years. Donna is survived by her daughter, Katrina J. Guinn, Gilbertsville; grandchildren, Stacey J. (Kyle) Popovich, Colorado Springs, Colo., Courtney E. Flanagan, Morrisville, Jason M. Flanagan, Oxford, Eric L.

She was born Nov. 11, 1923 in Hanna City, Ill., the daughter of Hazel and Edgar Angle. They migrated to New York during the Great Depression. Edna married Johnny Lockwood and together they raised five children. Edna had not been able to graduate from high school when a teenager so when she was 38 she returned to take regular classes and graduated from Afton Central School with her class two years later. Not being satisfied with that achievement, she went on to the Decker School of Nursing to become an LPN. But even this was not enough of a challenge for her. Edna then proceeded to attend BCC and graduated in 1972 with an Associate’s Degree in Nursing. After trying hospital care, she found her true niche at Amphenol in the First Aide Department where she worked for many years. There was never a dull moment in her life but when she found time she wrote a memoir about growing up during the Great Depression and had it published. “Remembering Hazel and Ed” was one of the greatest achievements and satisfactions of her life. Edna had a deep love and concern for all animals and among many projects to aid Bainbridge Memorial Works, Inc. — A family owned business since 1927 — Granite Monuments – Markers Cemetery Lettering & Cleaning Expert Guidance without Obligation 92 No. Main St., Bainbridge 967-3986 animals she helped friends and strangers to spay and neuter their pets.

Big Impact Smart Tips to Make Fall Lawn Care Easier date your look by swapping out the knobs and handles on your cabinets, credenzas and other furniture,” says Cohler. Implementing your vision with the right hardware doesn’t have to be a confusing process. Narrow your search by checking out curated collections of hardware. For example, the AmerockNOW program makes selection easy. Cohler, who cast his artist’s eye on its collections, categorized them into themed groups that clearly communicate a specific design aesthetic. Themes such as London Undone, Heartland, Lodge and City Beat can help homeowners identify hardware that resonates with their own home decor. By keeping two sets of cabinet hardware on hand, you can keep the look fresh in your home with just a screwdriver and an afternoon. More information about new products as well as design tips and regional trends can be found at www.AmerockNOW. com. Flooring can make a big impact and can complement the regional look you’re hoping to achieve. For example, consider giving your home an ocean-kissed look with Coastal Living Laminate Flooring from Armstrong. Or opt for a country, rustic feel with hardwood flooring, such as the HomerWood handscraped floors Coordinated Look created by Amish craftsmen. Persian or Oriental style rugs can give your home a While you shouldn’t be afraid to fuse more exotic, eastern flair. classical and contemporary looks, don’t Small Touches forget to complement the big picture “With relatively little effort, you can up- items such as wallpaper and flooring with other design elements, like lighting, wall hangings, cabinet hardware and artwork. Many retailers offer design resources to help you execute whole-home coordination as you turn your vision into a reality. To stay on trend, consider bringing a regional look to life in your home. (StatePoint) A beautiful lawn is important for a lovely home, but when those autumn leaves begin to fall, some extra effort is required to keep things picture perfect. This once meant firing up noisy machinery and piling up bag after bag of yard waste. Now that we live in more environmentally-conscientious times, this might not seem like such a responsible idea. Doing things by hand doesn’t have to lead to a sore back. Learning some helpful hints can make your lawn really stand out this year and help you get the job done in a breeze. Spring is when the lawn and garden really come into full bloom, but fall is when plants are storing energy and nutrients to have ready when the season turns. Like an athlete training in the offseason, get a step up on the competition by building a good foundation. Now’s the time to fertilize and aerate since roots keep growing and storing energy even when above-ground growth slows during the colder months. Don’t forget to keep watering too! Weeding can be made less painful if you adhere to the old gardener’s trick of completing this task after it rains. When the earth is dry, it’s harder to pull out the whole weed without breaking off the top. After rainfall, the ground is soft, making it easier to pluck out entire weeds. They can easily be added to leaves and other debris that needs to be hauled away. Leaves can smother your lawn if enough of them build up, preventing sunlight from reaching the grass and increasing the chances of lawn disease. Collecting the leaves in bags allows your lawn to breathe and receive proper sunlight. The average cost to remove leaves is $374. There are easy DIY methods that can save you money. To make your life easier and get the job done faster, consider using tools such as the EZ Leaf Hauler, which acts like a giant dustpan for leaves, and is a cost-effective, green alternative. Reduce waste by packing more leaves into every bag with tools like the EZ Leaf Stomper or using leaves and yard debris for mulch or compost. Good posture can also prevent backaches when raking leaves. Keep your head up and back straight. Relieve back pressure by raking in the “scissors” stance: placing one foot forward and the other back and reversing position when comfortable. Another option is to haul tarps by using pull handles like EZ Tarp Tugger. Opt for ergonomically designed rakes, shears and pruners that require less hand strength and provide a comfortable nonslip grip to help prevent muscle soreness.

Yet few homeowners pay attention to it until the time comes to replace it. One shopping trip for a new kitchen sink will uncover dozens of possibilities. Here is a brief overview of some of the styles, materials and designs you might come across. Kitchen sinks come in many styles. Some of the most common include the single bowl, double bowl and farmhouse. Single-bowl sinks have just one basin, making them ideal for tight spaces. The basin may be fairly deep, allowing for the washing of large pots and pans. Double bowl-sinks have two basins. Configuration varies from two basins of the same depth to one shallow basin and one deep basin. The costliest option of the three, farmhouse sinks take up a large section of the counter and may feature one or two basins. They work well for country kitchens. Kitchen sinks come in a variety of materials. Stainless steel is one of the most common. The higher the gauge of the stainless steel, the lighter the sink will be. Most household stainless steel sinks come in the 1822 gauge range. Stainless steel sinks are durable, resistant to stains and heat, but can be noisy. Cast iron is another popular choice. Cast iron sinks are fairly heavy, making them difficult to install. The bright, glossy enamel finish, however, is very durable and resistant to stains and scratches. Composite sinks are typically made of granite or quartz combined with a resin filler. They are very durable and resistant to stains and scratches. Fireclay sinks are made from ceramic clay and feature a tough porcelain enamel. They are one of the most durable sinks on the market but can be expensive, running $500 and up. Kitchen sinks come in many other materials, including glass, granite, marble and copper. Sinks generally come in two designs: top mount and undermount. Top-mount sinks are set into a hole in the countertop, making them fairly easy to install. The rim around the sink helps hold it in place. Undermount sinks are mounted under the counter, making for a costlier, more difficult installation but easier cleaning. An undermount sink has no rim, allowing homeowners to swipe debris into it with ease. Because they have no rim, undermount sinks must be glued underneath or supported with braces. Holes must also be made in the countertop for faucets. With so many options available, choosing a kitchen sink can be difficult. Take your time, do your homework and you are sure to choose the right one for your kitchen Brick Basics Brick can be a great feature in any home, but like most things, it can wear down over time. You can clean brick, you can repoint brick, and you can even replace brick. Replacement, however, can be difficult and costly. If you have brick that has seen better days and replacement is not an option, you might want to consider painting it. Painting brick is not hard, but it does take some work, and once done, it can be hard to undo. Removing paint from brick is a painstaking process, so you need to make certain you are ready to proceed. If so, here are some pointers. Choose the right supplies. Brick in general is porous. For the best results, you will probably need a conditioner paint and a brick paint. You will also need the right rollers and brushes for easier coverage. Consult the professionals at your local hardware store for recommendations. Prep the surface. To ensure the paint sticks, you will need to prepare the brick properly. Start with a good wire brushing, particularly if the brick has a lot of chalkiness. This will also remove any loose material from the brick. Inspect the brick. See any cracks or missing mortar? You should seal the cracks with caulk and repoint the mortar. Finally, give the brick a good cleaning with soap and water. For exterior brick, you may want to use a power washer. If you have mold, mildew or moss, make sure you use a bleach solution. Put in the time. Because brick is so porous, it takes longer to paint. In addition to the conditioner paint, you will probably have to apply two to three coats of the brick paint. When you are done, make sure you give the brick ample time to dry. Just because it feels dry to the touch after a few hours doesn’t mean it is totally dry. Brick is so porous that it usually takes a few days for it to dry completely. Painting brick takes time, time to research, time to prepare and time to complete. Make sure you allow ample time in your schedule to get the job done right. You may be trying to forget about the pressure.

Mold and ragweed are common fall allergy triggers, as well as dust mites, which are naturally more prevalent in the home during the drier months. “You can turn your home into a safe haven from fall allergens with regular, strategic cleaning and a few preventive measures,” says Robin Wilson, an interior design expert and an ambassador with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. To help make your home more comfortable this season, Wilson is offering some fall cleaning tips to eliminate allergens and maintain a clean and healthy space: • Wash your bedding. Mattress and pillow protectors will help control dust mites. As an added precaution, wash your bedding in warm or hot water every month and replace pillows every three years. • Check for mold. Moisture breeds mold, so make sure to scan the inside of dishwashers, under the fridge in the water pan and in sink and bath drains. Change water dispensers and icemaker filters on a regular basis. • Vacuum frequently. Whether you have wall-to-wall carpeting, tile or hardwood floors, it’s important to eliminate dust and dirt. Vacuum, mop or steam clean flooring regularly. “Use a vacuum with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which captures small particles such as allergens, irritants and pollutants,” says Wilson. For example, the Panasonic MC-UL429 Vacuum has a HEPA filter and accessories that allow you to be more thorough and get into tight corners. This vacuum also comes with an attachment that pulls pet hair -- another potential allergen -- out of upholstered surfaces. More information can be found at www.shop.panasonic. com. • Wash or freeze stuffed toys. If your child sleeps with their favorite stuffed animals, you should frequently wash or freeze them in a plastic bag for 48 hours. This will lower the level of dust mites which can trigger asthma and allergies. • Use Slipcovers. Slipcovers have come a long way in the last 10 years. Since they can be cleaned regularly and more easily than upholstery, consider using them on sofas and other furniture. • Keep ragweed outside. After spending time outside, have your child leave any clothing or sports equipment close to the entrance of the home to avoid tracking irritants throughout rooms. “Just because the pollen count isn’t through the 967-4896 • 12 No. Main St., Bainbridge roof doesn’t mean you NOW AVAILABLE RAZOR’S EDGE can’t fall prey to allergies,” SHARPENING SERVICE says Wilson. “With regular Drop Off Service GALLERY cleaning, you can manage Plumbing, Electrical, Hardware Supplies, OF FINE VALSPAR PAINTS the irritants in your home HARDWARE • Special Orders Welcome • and make it a more breath“Where There’s More Than Meets The Eye” able place.” Monday thru Friday 8 am-5 pm; Saturday 8 am-1 pm HOMETOWN HARDWARE HomeCrest Cabinets 5% CASH DISCOUNT With Purchase Of 12 Cabinets • Promotion Expires 11/30/13 FREE ESTIMATES KITCHENS - BATHS - OFFICES APPLIANCES - INSTALLATION FINANCING VEP SPECIAL! 8 KUNAL CABINETS $ 999 see store for details KITCHEN & BATH A DIVISION OF VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT PLUS 89 Main St., Sidney, NY 13838 563-3288 Store Hours: Mon.-Thurs. 10 am to 9 pm; Fri. & Sat. 10 am to 10 pm; Sun. 1 -9 pm Prevent Your Heating Bills from Going Through the Roof (StatePoint) Heating your home can be a costly endeavor. But you don’t have to make your family suffer in shivering silence to save some money. There are plenty of steps you can take to optimize your heating efforts, as well as prep your home for several months of cool weather. • Check and maintain your insulation. Improperly insulated walls, floors, attics, basements and crawl spaces drain away heat and can encourage mold and mildew. • Add weather stripping and caulk around windows and doors to prevent drafts which waste energy and money. • Install a programmable thermostat that shuts itself off during the day when you’re away and at night when you’re asleep. This will keep you comfortable when you’re home and save you money when you’re not. • Keep vents and returns free of obstructions. Don’t lay carpet over vents, place furniture over or in front of them or obstruct the flow of air. • Keep your air filters clean. Check them every couple of weeks and change them as directed by the manufacturer. • Let the sun shine in by opening curtains on cold days. Get heavy drapes to keep things cozy at night. • Review last year’s energy bills. If your heating costs are drastically higher this year, a qualified HVAC/R technician may be able to diagnose the problem. Schedule such inspections twice annually, even if you aren’t experiencing any detectable issues. • When choosing a contractor for installation or maintenance, important factors must be taken into consideration. A qualified HVAC/R technician is a skilled professional with proven knowledge who has passed specialized tests. So look for a technician certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE), the nation’s largest independent nonprofit certification body for HVAC/R technicians. • Even the most eco-friendly, high-efficiency products and appliances can waste money and energy if they’re not installed, serviced, and maintained properly. Work with certified technicians to ensure your HVAC/R equipment is delivering on its promised energy efficiency. • Consider alternatives to conventional heating. For example, geothermal heating systems use the earth’s natural heat and are among the most efficient and energy-conserving heating technologies currently available. • Replacing your system? Purchase equipment with an ENERGY STAR label. High-efficiency systems reduce your impact on the environment and can also save you money. You may also be eligible for a Federal Tax Credit. Check with your local NATE contractor to determine qualifying models. Also, for optimal performance be sure to select the proper size system for your home.

DOCTOR CLINIC AFTON - The seventh edition of the Alpine Building Supply Short Track SuperNationals presented by Olum’s will shatter all previous ‘Working Man’s Race’ records when the event takes place at I-88 Speedway in Afton on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10 and 11. In 2006, together with Pat Jordan – then the promoter of Afton Speedway – Brett Deyo launched the Short Track SuperNationals, a Columbus Day affordable alternative to Super DIRT Week for Friday, Saturday and Sunday competitors. The inaugural event attracted some 220 race cars to the facility over two days. Shortly thereafter, Jordan and his wife, Janet, ended their reign as managers of the facility. Deyo and the BD Motorsports Media LLC staff promoted the SuperNationals for five more editions at Five Mile Point Speedway, raising sponsorship money for racers, paying out bonuses, product awards, and building the event into an autumn destination. Fans have been involved with giveaways, raffles and more. Following the 2013 event, Deyo formed a partnership with I-88 Speedway copromoters Jamie Page and Ron Ford to bring the event to I-88 Speedway, which offers ample parking and pit area room, camping with hookups, transponder scoring and many amenities for competitors and spectators. As Short Track SuperNationals 7 approaches, all records for the event are set to be broken. On Saturday, Oct. 11, the highest big-block/small-block Modified purse structure in event history will be paid. The winner of the 50-lap event will collect well over $5,000, with $1,000 reserved for the 10thplace finisher and $600 just to take the green flag. Thanks to Dale and Sue Smith and Steve Survilla, lap 25 – the halfway circuit of the SuperNationals Modified main – will pay an astounding $700 to the leader. This is the most WORK SCHOOL lucrative halfway bonus in the history of the Short Track SuperNationals. Additionally, the Modifieds will take part in a fully paid B-Main, offering $777 to the winner for 17 laps and $100 to take the green. All nonqualifiers will also receive payment. The Modified event takes on added significance as the sixth and final event of the Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP. Andy Bachetti and Danny Johnson are tied for the points lead heading into the I-88 race. The huge series point fund will be paid out following the SuperNationals event. Also competing on Saturday will be the Crate 602 Sportsmen - a 25-lap main paying $1,000 to the winner and $100 to start. The event will offer points toward the 2014 Dig Safely New York GRIT Series championship. IMCA-Modifieds and Empire Lightning Sprints complete the Saturday card. There will be a pre-race fan fest and post-race party on Saturday, as well. On Friday night, Oct. 10, the Open vs. Crate 602 Sportsmen will be featured in a 35-lap special paying $1,500 to the winner and $125 to start. Hefty Crate 602 Sportsmen bonuses will be paid as follows to the top-six across the line: $300, $200, $100, $75, $50 and a free pit pass for Saturday. Also on the Friday card are Street Stocks (home track rules), Four Cylinders (generally accepted Southern Tier rules) and Empire Sport Trucks (home track rules). Modifieds and other Saturday divisions will be permitted to practice throughout the night on Friday in preparation for the next day. A post-race party is planned to cap Friday evening’s activities. Registration forms for both Modifieds and Sportsman, in addition to reserved camping forms, can be found on the BD Motorsports Media LLC website under “events” and “SuperNationals” on the menu.

Unatego Football Stops Greene WELLS BRIDGE – Josh Feyerabend ran for a touchdown and threw for two more and the Unatego defense kept visiting Greene off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter in a 21-6 Section IV Football Conference victory Friday night. Feyerabend scored on a 5-yard run with 8:24 to play in the opening quarter. His extra point kick gave the Spartans a 7-0 lead. Greene had its chances in the opening quarter but fumbled twice inside Unatego territory. In the second quarter, Ryan Marszal caught a 10yard touchdown pass. Tanner Winchester’s two-point conversion run was successful; giving Unatego (2-0) a 15-0 lead with 7:30 left in the first half. Marszal and Feyerabend hooked up again late in the third quarter on a 24-yard touchdown. Feyerabend was 13-for-23 for 147 yards. He spread the wealth, completing passes to five different receivers. Greene (0-2) broke up the shutout when quarterback Josh Harrington scored from a yard out with 9:24 to play in the contest. Luke Erickson rushed for 41 yards on 11 carries for Greene. Harpursville-Afton Gridders Fall To Walton As Hoover Wins 300th HARPURSVILLE – Harpursville-Afton was on the wrong side of a huge milestone Saturday when Walton coach Jim Hoover picked up his 300th career victory, becoming just the fifth coach in NYS history to reach the milestone, as the visiting Warriors picked up a 20-6 Section IV Football Conference victory to improve to 2-0. Dawson Beers rushed for 104 yards on 18 carries, leading a Walton ground attack that amassed 271 yards on the ground. Special teams gave Walton the early lead when Robert Merrill recovered a blocked punt in the end zone, giving the Warriors a 6-0 lead with 4:46 to play in the first quarter. Walton (2-0) upped the lead to 12-0 on its first possession of the second quarter on Trevor Zandt’s 25-yard run. Beers then made it a 20-0 contest with 9:23 to play in the third quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion.

MASONVILLE NEWS ANNE SCOTT, CORRESPONDENT TELEPHONE 265-3368 Quote of the Week The quote of the week is from Mother Teresa: “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” This is true, sometimes a smile can make a person’s day and we can be happy that we can do this for them, so keep on smiling everyone and have a great day. Anniversary Miriam and John Palmer will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on Oct. 1. They don’t want a party but their daughter thought it would be nice if they were to get anniversary cards from their family and friends. The Palmers lived in Masonville for 54 years before moving to Virginia. Their address is: 7161 Silver Lake Blvd. #130, Alexandria, VA 22315. Happy anniversary to the Palmers and congratulations from us all. On the Farm Not much going on here on the farm. The weather seems to be holding up progress that was going on with the second and third cutting of hay. I have been hearing that the gardens are not doing well in some areas also. The wells are still not keeping up with the cows and the waters has to be drawn about three times a day to keep those thirsty animals going. There seems to be a calf or two born each day and that keeps us very busy brining them home from the hills and taking care of them. Let’s hope this weather can get lost soon. The corn is growing and we need some good weather to make it mature before chopping. We all hope farmers can get their chopping done soon. The cold nights don’t help us at all do they? Condolences Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Carroll Stilson who passed away this past week. Sympathy is also extended to the family and friends of Mrs. Kathy Gatje. Her husband has done some ministry at the Masonville Church. There will be a luncheon at the Masonville Church following Thursday’s services for family and friends. Neita VanValkenburgh’s calling hours will be from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, also at the church, followed by a time for family and friends. Little Devin Carey, son of Felicia Scott and James Carey, has lost his battle with leukemia and passed away on Sept. 9. We were all saddened with Devin’s illness and death and all our sympathy is extended to his parents and family.
