Sidney Alumni Sports Hall of Fame
Induction Weekend Is Sept. 19, 20
SIDNEY – The Sidney Alumni Sports Hall of Fame Committee presents its 12th Annual
Induction Weekend Friday and
Saturday, Sept. 19-20.
Ticket sales for the Induction Dinner and Ceremony to
be held at the Sidney American
Legion Saturday may have to be
restricted due to a high demand,
according to organizers.
For those requesting tickets
at $25 each, contact ticket chair
Wendy Weidman at 287-2114 or
764-8136. You may also contact
SHOF Chairman Greg Davie at
643-2913 or 563-9799.
Events kick off Friday at
Sidney Alumni Field when the
class of 2014 inductees and the
Legacy team are announced at
halftime of the Sidney versus
Chenango Forks football game,
which begins at 7 p.m.
This year, all those honored
will get the added feature of
having their name and photo
displayed on the large video
SUGGESTED PRICE 75¢
screen which is part of the
scoreboard.
Following the game, all Sidney Central School Alumni
and their guests are invited to
a get-together at the V.F.W.
where food and drink will be
available.
Saturday, festivities begin at
5 p.m. with a social hour, followed by seating at 6 p.m. and
a turkey and roast beef buffet at
6:15 p.m.
In between the dinner and
induction ceremony, the usual
memorabilia auction will be
conducted. However, another
added touch will help liven the
evening as a raffle will be held
for the first time. Several sportsthemed gift baskets are up for
grabs, with tickets sold for
chances on the buyer’s choice.
Many items in both auction and
raffle are autographed.
The Class of 2014 and Legacy Team will then be in the
spotlight for the night’s main at-
traction. The individual inductees are: Delzon “Del” Hodges,
Class of ‘61; Roxanne “Roxy”
(Olmstead) Birdsall, ‘71 &
coach; Richard “Rick” Mirabito, ‘76; Gerard “Jeri” Mirabito, ‘79; The 8th Legacy Team
will be 1983-84 Field Hockey,
who participated in the first-ever NYS Field Hockey finals.
The Sports Hall of Fame
also serves as a fundraiser for
alumni to give back and assist
the school’s athletic department
with a donation of equipment.
Recent donations include the
current indoor scorer’s table,
custom Warrior chairs, and portable scoreboards. 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.

Andrew Hinkley Agency, Inc.
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.
Annual Blood Screening
Is Sat., Sept. 20 in Sidney
SIDNEY - Make your appointment now! The Tri-County Chapter of NYS Women, Inc.
(formerly BPW) is sponsoring
their annual AMBA scholarship
fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 20
from 6 to 10 a.m. The clinic is
being held at the Sidney Middle
School cafeteria, 13 East Pearl
St., Sidney.
The AMBA (Annual Multiphase Blood Analysis) Wellness
Clinic offers a host of doctorordered blood tests for a reasonable price. This is an especially
good value for persons with no
or limited-coverage medical
insurance.
The basic AMBA Panel offers more than 30 blood tests for
$36 including cholesterol, HDL,
LDL and triglycerides. Tests
are also available for thyroxin,
prostate PSA, Vitamin D -25,
Hemoglobin A1C, and there is
a take-home colon rectal test.
Separate fees are charged for
each of these extra tests. You
must have a prescription from
your doctor for the testing and
the specialized tests require
separate prescriptions. See your
doctor to obtain these prior to
the test date.
AMBA is running differently now and the sponsoring
organization has to collect their
fee separately from the AMBA
blood lab fee. The Tri-County
Chapter of NYS Women, Inc.
will be charging a separate fee
of $6 per participant for bringing this service to the community. You may pay the fee by
cash or by check made out to
“Tri-County Chapter of NYSW
Inc.”
Tri-County group has sponsored this event for many years.
They give two scholarships to
the Norwich High School and
one to students in the Sidney
Central School District, Unatego Central School District, or
Bainbridge-Guilford Central
School. The single scholarship
award rotates annually between
the three districts. This past
year’s winners were Vita Guglielmetti of the Unatego Central
School. She is attending Broome
Community College this year.
The two Norwich winners were
Emily Mikalunas and Sarah
Fazio. Young women attending
the NYS Women, Inc.’s annual
Youth Leadership Conference
have also been sponsored. In
2014-2015 there will again be
three awards given.
Community support for this

N.Y. 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

25 YEARS AGO
September 20, 1989
At the Sept. 5 meeting of
the Unadilla Village Board, it
was announced that the Unadilla Silo Company has offered a 36 foot pavilion to the
village. 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.

At a special hearing held
Sept. 14 at the Unadilla Central School, Clarence 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

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.
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

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;

“THE WAY WE WERE”
HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,103
by Charles J. 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

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.

Work of Joanne Grey
To Show September 27
BAINBRIDGE – Area residents will have the opportunity Sept. 27 to see the work of
photographer Joanne Grey.
In conjunction with the
Atkinson Family bluegrass
performance that evening in
the Town Hall Theatre, art
and music lovers alike will
be treated to the exhibit in the
gallery adjacent to the theatre.
Having retired from a career
in the field of medical technology, Joanne now enjoys
traveling with her husband,
collecting old barn and other
salvaged wood, building and
selling frames. Their company,
known as DustBunny Frames,
is located in Bainbridge.
“I am a photographer,”
Joanne explains, “but we both
make custom frames. We try
to keep our local history alive
by using old barn wood and
other salvaged woods to make
the frames. Of course, these
“historic” frames highlight
my photographs, too.”
The gallery committee of
the Jericho Arts Council welcomes Joanne Grey as their
newest member as well as
the Sept. 27 featured artist.
Hours of the admission free
art exhibit are from 7 p.m. to
10 p.m.

to the hand painted designs on
each outfit. 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.

Edna Louise Lockwood
AFTON - Edna Louise
Lockwood of Afton died
Friday Sept. 12, 2014 at her
home.
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

She leaves behind her remaining children, Eileen
Rowe, Afton and son-in-law,
Jack Rowe, Staunton, Va.,

Lockwood, Afton and Shawn
and Alecia Lockwood, Wadlaey, Ala.; 16 grandchildren

The family will receive
friends at St. Ann’s Episcopal
Church, Afton on Wednesday,
Sept. 17 from 10 to 11 a.m.
prior to service. Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m.
with Rev. David Hanselman
Rector officiating. Burial will
follow in Nineveh Presbyterian Cemetery at 2 p.m.
To keep with her tradition
of helping animals, she has
asked that any remembrances
of her be given in donations to

(StatePoint) Whether you have a traditionally styled interior or your home sports

“Homeowners today are seeking inspiration in regional

Smart Tips to Make Fall Lawn Care Easier
date your look by swapping out the knobs

Implementing your vision with the right

For example,
the AmerockNOW
program makes

Cohler, who cast
his artist’s eye

Themes such as

To stay on trend, consider bringing a regional look

(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.
More information on innovative tools for
raking, hauling and bagging yard waste
can be found at www.ezlawnandgarden.

Everything and the Kitchen Sink
The sink is one of the most important
aspects of a kitchen. 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.

SEPTEMBER FALL IMPROVEMENT
Fall Cleaning Tips to Help Rid Your Home
of Autumn Allergens
(StatePoint) Many people think of allergies as a spring problem, but most sniffle
sufferers know that fall can pose its own
issues. 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

can’t fall prey to allergies,”

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.

Feyerabend scored on a

Greene had its chances in the

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

Dawson Beers rushed for
104 yards on 18 carries, leading
a Walton ground attack that
amassed 271 yards on the

to 12-0 on its first possession

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.
