Guilford FunFest Community Day
Is Artfully Yours Saturday, Aug. 23
by Wilma Felton-Gray
GUILFORD - You most
likely have heard the saying “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas.” Well,
we have taken the liberty to
change that a bit so “What
Happens in Guilford, Can be
found in the Tri-Town News,”
events anyway. Now known
as the Guilford Community
Fun Fest, plans are for 2014 to
be bigger and better than ever
before. The theme for this year
is “Artfully Yours in Guilford”
celebrating all forms of art and
music. In Chenango County
and in surrounding counties
we know there are folks with
excellent talents and we wish
to promote them.
Sidney Community Yard Sale

This Saturday, Aug. 23 the
Sidney Chamber of Commerce
is offering the opportunity for
people to have a varied selection of yard sales. From 9 a.m.

Grand Opening Is Aug. 25
For New Skateboard Park
SIDNEY - A celebration
for the opening of the new
skateboard park at Keith
Clark Park in Sidney will take
place on Monday, Aug. 25 at
6:30 p.m., it was announced
by Roma Haag, representing
the sponsoring organization,
the Sidney Area Youth Advocate Program (SAYAP). The
skateboard park, which includes eight ramps, is located
between the Pee Wee baseball
field and the volleyball court.
There will be a brief ceremony followed by demonstrations by adult skateboarders
from The Museum in Oneon-
ta. There will also be two gate
prizes awarded and a raffle of
a skateboard package. Drinks
and Chobani Yogurt will be
provided.
Skateboarders of all ages
and skills are welcome. Safety
rules and regulations will be
posted.
Haag said that SAYAP is
excited that the skateboard
park has come to fruition after
months of planning and hard
work, and expressed appreciation to the Village and Town
of Sidney for their help and
cooperation.
You cannot fathom all that
is in store for you Saturday,
Aug. 23 from 9 a.m. all the
way through until 10 p.m. Yes,
that’s right, 10 at night. However, most of the activities take
place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Included in that time frame crafters and vendors will line Main
St. and an art gallery set up in
the Methodist Church which
will feature works by Henry
Drexler and other area artist.
Get your Christmas shopping
done early with wonderful
hand crafted items including
jewelry, wood crafts, Indian
crafted items and much more.
Along the same line, at the
Methodist Church they have
organized a white elephant
sale. So pick up a map along
the way at the Klee House,
church or several vendors to
find special locations.
A special tour is being developed by Andrew Castrucci,
an artist located in Guilford
Center in what was the feed
store, as he has an art studio at
425 Parker Rd. His studio will
feature works by himself and
Alexandra Rojas, renowned
artists from New York City
and Guilford. He plans to take
visitors to the old O&W depot
for a brief history of what was
called the Parker Station RR
depot and see the graffiti of
station agent Deblois Parker’s
sons Orra and Harry. The tour
will take place from 12 to 3
p.m. Also the studio and train
depot will be open from 11
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To sign up,
visit his table in the church
from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
As it’s not without saying,
that the Guilford Garage/Lawn
Sales play an important part
in the usual community day
events and this year is the same.
So be prepared to wander the
streets and side streets of Guilford. And as you wander and
browse, listen to the music of
the Oxford Village Band in the
village park from 10:30 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. (made possible by a

SIDNEY – ACCO Brands
has announced it will be
adding 25 full-time hourly
manufacturing positions at its
facility in Sidney, effective
immediately.
Since ACCO Brands acquired the MeadWestvaco
Consumer & Office Products
business two years ago, the
Sidney facility has seen positive changes and opportunities
to maximize operations at the
company’s largest U.S. manufacturing facility and increase
volume levels.
“The relocation of ACCO
Brands’ Day-Timer operations
from Allentown, Pa. to Sidney,
which enabled an expansion
in business, and a strong focus
on in-sourcing have contributed to our overall growth,” said
Jeff Almasian, General Manager-Sidney, ACCO Brands.
“Expanding our workforce
provides us with the resources
we need to continue to grow
our business and best serve
our customers.”
According
to
Robin
Halaquist, senior human resources manager, “The announcement to hire 25 employees is a great example of
the management, employees
and union working together
to increase flexibility, reduce
the cost structure and continue the successful in-sourcing
initiative.”
“We have a great group of
employees who work hard to
get the job done, day in and
day out,” said Matt Theodore, union president. “In an
economy where companies
often need to reduce employment levels, it is great to see
25 positions being added to
the workforce. Hopefully,
with continued effort from the
union body and management
team to remain competitive,
and by exploiting every opportunity to grow the business,
this trend will continue.”
While Almasian is pleased
with the growth and continues to have high expectations
for the business, he stresses
the importance of remaining
focused. “I am very proud of
the entire Sidney-based team,
but this is just the beginning.
We still have a lot of opportunity to grow the business,
so we need to remain focused
on continually improving all
aspects of our operational
performance.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Strings Attached to
Community Grants by
Pipeline Company
Wringing the hearts of economically depressed communities, indeed communities like
Sidney still recovering from
serious flooding issues that
would be exacerbated by the
addition of gathering, transport and distribution gas lines,
into accepting money from
Williams Partners Gas Company has strings attached.
These lines will despoil the
land and water we need to exist, and if we don’t agree to
host these pipelines our land
will be stolen and awarded by
eminent domain to Williams
Company in perpetuity by the
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.
The cynicism that Mat
Swift, paid spokesperson for
Constitution Pipeline, says he
deplores in a recent editorial
in the Daily Star, is glaring
and undeniable when grants
are being given to emergency responders and local fire
departments dependent on
volunteers. When one such
volunteer fire chief asked at
a Pipeline Safety Meeting

hosted by Milenium Pipeline
why odorant was not added
to transport lines he got the
weak response that perhaps
too much would be in gas as
it entered end-use residents’
homes. Isn’t a life worth it?
Strings are attached by distracting attention from Williams Partners and now Tennessee Gas Pipeline to build
a multiple pipeline corridor
replete with industrial infrastructure, inappropriate for
land zoned agricultural and
residential, even bribing villages like Sidney into allowing pipelines on town property
set aside as a water resource
for village residents.
Strings are attached when
Constitution Pipeline company proclaims themselves
“neighbors” when they are
not. People are neighbors who
share land, water and town
resources and services, like
good schools, fair property
values and clean local food.
Constitution would pay taxes
on land they acquire, but those
same taxes are now being paid
by landowners that don’t want
the pipeline on their land. That
same land will be devalued by
the pipelines and the industrial
infrastructure that accompany
them. How many retirement
and second homes will be sold
near these pipelines and compressor stations?
Sidney is being touted by
the Delaware County IDA as
the industrial hub of Delaware
County; read that as Sacrifice
Zone. Why do the preferred
pipeline routes skirt the New
York City Watershed, a more
direct route and one that would
predominantly collocate with
already established rights of
way? You know why.
Not only are there strings attached Sidney, but you are being hogtied and sold down the
pipeline river of fire by Delaware County legislators, planners and supervisors whose
own towns will be safely ensconced by NYC watershed
protections.

For a time it was used as a
youth center, but it was abandoned in the mid 1940s. It has
also been used for the Sidney
Girl Scout Day Camp. It was
replaced by a camp which the
Methodists built at Sky Lake

Quote of the Week
This Monday morning the
quote on my computer from
Chris Clarke-Epstein reads,
“Often people do not say all
they mean. Develop your listening skills to hear things left
unsaid as well as things they
share.” This is a good quote for
those who are going back to
school. When in the classroom,
listening can be a good tool for
our minds to store information
we may use later when the testing begins. We all remember
this when the teachers do lessons and we don’t pay attention,
that’s when they call on you for
the answer and you go blank.
Back to School
Are you all ready to back to
school? Soon it will be here.
For some it’s “can’t wait for
school to start” and for more
it’s “I don’t want to go back.”
Whatever your answer, the time
is near and we all hope you do
the best you can, an education
is very important. For all you
drivers out there we wish that
you be aware of the buses stopping at homes. Take caution
when driving and stop when
you see the flashing red light,
our children’s safety is in your
hands. Good luck to all students
and educators out there, we
hope you have a great year.
NY State Fair
Many people will travel to
the NY State Fair in Syracuse,
be careful on the roads and
watch out for the construction
going on.
Here on the Farm
It seems that this past week
the Delaware County Fair in
Walton has been the topic of
conversation. Some of our
grandchildren participated in
activities and showed animals.
It was hectic and they worked
hard but I am sure they had a
good time and will be looking
forward to next year. The third
cutting of hay is growing and
most of the second cut is in
round wrapped bales to store
for winter feeding. The corn is
still growing and probably enjoyed the little rain this week.
Inspection is due and we are
trying to get things in order for
that and hopefully we will be
ready, there is a lot to do. We
are getting water for the cows,
the wells are getting too much
stress and going down. We really need the rain and I see the
weather says maybe Wednesday. Everyone says, “Where
is our summer?” It seems it is
quite cool these past weeks,
maybe the fall will be better, we
all hope.

Valerie Condon-Henchey Benefit
Is Success Thanks to Community
OXFORD - On Saturday,
Aug. 2, the staff and
management of the Big Blue’s
Convenience Stores and
Blueox Corporation held an
event in honor of 29-year-old
Valerie Condon-Henchey. The
benefit event was held to help
Val, the daughter of Mt. Upton
Big Blue’s Convenience Store
employee Marcia Condon,
who is battling stage-4 breast
cancer.
Val is currently undergoing
treatments and further testing
and examinations both locally and in NYC. The benefit
helped raise money to offset
the costs of travel for the treatments, expenses and the care
of her two young children.
The event consisted of a car
wash, sponsored by the Oxford Class of 2015, a chicken
barbecue prepared by Tim
Wakefield and crew, a 50/50
raffle, a breast cancer awareness ribbon quilt/throw raffle
which was handmade by the
residents of the Senior Living Facility at UHS/Chenango Memorial Hospital and
a bake sale with donations
which poured in from numerous Blueox and Big Blue’s/
Nice N’ Easy employees. The
benefit raised roughly $1,250
after expenses to provide Val
with the help needed to make
this difficult time a bit easier
for her and her children.
A presentation was made
of the quilt/throw, which was
won and donated back to Val,
along with a check by employees of Blueox and Big Blue’s
Convenience stores at the Mt.
Upton store location located
on Rte 8 in the village.
Blueox Corporation wishes
to thank all who attended the
event, purchased raffle tickets,
chicken, had your car washed
and purchased baked goods.
Also, our thanks to those who
gave cash donations to this
cause as well. We appreciate
the love and support received
from our communities.

HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,099
by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
AUGUST 2014
On Sunday afternoon I started out for Binghamton to visit a friend. Only a short
distance down 1-88, I heard a noise under my pickup and the the flapping sound of
a flat tire. I pulled over onto the wide shoulder and found that my right front tire was
as flat as can be. I got out my manual and tire changing tools, but was not making
much progress in changing my wheel and putting on the spare. Finally I just stood
behind my Chevy EI-dorado. Finally, a car passed me, slowed down, and backed
toward me. It was a man and woman from Maryland. The man was more proficient
than I and soon had the car jacked up and the spare in place. He had met and married his wife in such an incident. I thanked them for stopping, but they would take
no money.
Several years ago I was on my way to Florida when I exited the highway to go to
a restroom. I did not realize that the passageway narrowed to a one-car width. As I
hit the curb, an almost new front tire blew. Unfamiliar with my wheels, I was reading
my manual to see where to put the jack. A man came out from the restroom and
asked if he could help. He had the jack in place and the spare put on in no time. He
also would take no pay. I found a good used tire at the next exit. It lasted the life of
the car.
Another time, on the way to Cape Cod, I stopped for gas. In late October, it had
been stormy and the roads were wet. As I turned back onto the busy highway, I
was a little off the exit and ran over a protruding piece of pipe. Just a short distance
down the highway, I was pulled over into a parking lot by a police car, followed by a
tow-truck and fire truck. I had ruptured my gas tank as witnessed by the gas station
attendant. My car was towed away, but the policeman took me to the next town. A
series of police cars finally delivered me to my motel. I left my car and took a bus
home.

FRANKLIN - On Aug. 22,
23 and 24, the Franklin Stage
Company presents a three-day
festival of Jane Austen novels
adapted for the stage by British playwright Tim Luscombe.
These critically acclaimed adaptations of three beloved novels will play on three consecutive nights. On Friday, Aug. 22
at 8 p.m.: Northanger Abbey is
“a dazzling adaptation” (Chicago Sun-Times); on Saturday,
Aug. 23 at 8 p.m.: Persuasion
has “a freshness and modernity,
whilst completely retaining the
authentic period feel, which
reaches out and pulls the audience in… a powerful love story
which will leave you breathless at the end” (The London
Times); and on Sunday Aug. 24
at 5 p.m.: Mansfield Park “has
all the shiny qualities of a piece
penned yesterday. It reveals
Austen not as a prissy creator of
romantic fiction, but as a moral
satirist of enormous stature”
(The Daily Telegraph, UK).
“FSC’s audience responds
so enthusiastically to our rehearsed readings, and I just love
them,” says FSC Executive/Artistic Director Carmela Marner.
“They provide a different sort
of intimacy between audience
and actors; it’s so much more
than merely a simpler way of
presenting a play - a rehearsed
reading is a rich, full experience
in and of itself.” The readings
are directed by Natalie Martin, who has appeared at FSC
in Trojan Women, The Way Of
The World, The Winter’s Tale, as
well as FSC’s two-week readings series On Love in 2012.
A versatile ensemble of actors
make up the cast, including FSC
veterans Patricia Buckley, Hugh
Timoney and Josh Santiago, all
of whom most recently delighted audiences in Tartuffe; Julian
Fleisher (What The Butler Saw,
A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
and last week’s reading of Art);
Liz Kimball (Hermione in The
Winter’s Tale, Marwood In The
Way Of The World); Drew Kahl
(Leontes in The Winter’s Tale);
and Camilla Enders (What The
Butler Saw, Twelfth Night, Hedda Gabler). New performers
at FSC are Tom Byrn, a longtime company member at the
Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble,
Nina Wray, Dennis Metnick,
Rachel Rissberger, and 2014 Intern Caroline Curtis.
At FSC admission is always
free and donations are gratefully accepted. Reservations
are recommended. Call 8293700 or [email protected]. FSC is located
in Chapel Hall at 25 Institute
St. Franklin, opposite Franklin
Central School. Programming
continues to be made possible,
in part, by the New York State
Council on the Arts with the
support of Governor Andrew
Cuomo and the NYS Legislature. More details can be found

PET OF THE WEEK
TAKING PART IN THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY were members of the
Delaware County Fair Board and the Catskill Mountain Antique Engine and Machinery
Club. Cutting the ribbon was Bethany Davis of East Meredith who was crowned Miss
Delaware County Fair Aug. 3.
(TTN Photos by Anna Ritchey)
Delaware Co. Fair Holds Ribbon Cutting,
Dedication of New Antique Engine Building
WALTON - A ribbon cutting and dedication of the new
Catskill Mountain Antique
Engine and Machinery Club
building was held Sunday, Aug.
10 on the Delaware Co. fairgrounds in Walton with over 75
in attendance.
The Rev. Larry Light, pastor
of the New Hope Community
Church, took part in the dedication with prayers and a moment
of silence for Bill VanNew, a
member of the club who passed
away recently. Danny Hodges,
president of the Delaware Co.
Fair, speaking on behalf of the
fair board, thanked the club for
their dedication and support.
2014 marks the 25th year of the
club’s participation in the fair.
This year’s special demonstration involved a saw mill and a
shingle mill. The kids especially
enjoyed the barn train ride, with
donations appreciated.
Mel Woodin, a member of the
tractor club’s board of directors,
presented a plaque made from
rough cut lumber with a picture of the building, “made with
pride just like their building.”
The club has 96 members
with a total of 163 including
family members. Several are
from out-of-state.
The new building is 40 by 80
ft. and was designed after several of the barns and grist mills
in Delaware Co. The construction fits the club’s needs including space for demonstrations.
The sixteen heavy carrier 8x12
ft. beams are fashioned from
hemlock and were cut with the
working saw mill at the fairgrounds. All of the native hemlock was cut at a local saw mill.
The poles are made of pressure
treated southern yellow pine.
Plans for the building were
started in 2011 and construction
of the poles and the laying of
the foundation were done last
October.
Club members and members of the fair board have been
working for the past few months
giving their time and providing
equipment to see completion of
the building by fair time. Many
of the wives and family members joined in pounding nails
and holding beams in place. The
ladies also provided many delicious meals during the building
project.
Following the ceremony, the
fair provided refreshment including a cake with the word-
ing, “Job Well Done. Thank
You From the Delaware Co.
Board of Directors.”

Brandi is right around 5 years
old, and she is a spayed Pitbull
mix, who happens to be very
sweet and lovable.
Brandi joined our tenants
here at the shelter on October
2, 2010! We discovered, soon
after, that she was pregnant, and
a little later, she gave birth to
pups that were all successfully
adopted, while Mom remained
behind.
Over the years, while Brandi
stayed here, visitors would become uninterested in her, because of her behavior in her
kennel, her protective behavior,
which many of our canines exhibit, after some time. The truth
is, Brandi is a wonderful girl,
and anyone who takes her out of
her kennel and spends time with
her, learns that. She loves attention, and likes to be close to you.
the only pet in her home. Other
dogs and cats are not suitable
companionship for Brandi. You
will also find that she may be
protective of her new home.

John R. Compton
BAINBRIDGE - John Robinson (“Jack”) Compton, 91, of
Bainbridge, passed away on August 18, 2014, at the New York
State Veterans’ Home at Oxford.
He was born on Feb.24, 1923 in
Elmira., son of William Randall
and Ada Viele Compton. He was
later adopted at age two by Fred
and Jenny Robinson who were
very good parents to him.
His first real job was as a
messenger for Western Union.
He always said that he learned a
lot about people in this position.
Then he worked as an assembler
in a Remington Rand typewriter
factory. Next he took a job as an
apprentice machinist at the U.S.
Naval gun factory in Washington, D.C. in December 1941.
It was in Washington that he
met his wife of 67 years, Jean
Elinor York of Unadilla. She
was employed by the British Air
Commission. They were married after he went into the U.S.
Army Air Corps as a pilot during
World War II. She followed him
around different duty stations
until he went overseas. During
his military service as a pilot in
the Air Transport Command, he
flew many types of aircraft to
and from countries on several
continents, including British
Guyana, Brazil, Ghana, Nigeria,
Egypt, Sudan, Iran, India, Pakistan, Italy, France, England, and
the United States.
After the war, he completed
his college education and graduated from Syracuse University
with a degree in accounting. He
worked briefly as an industrial
engineer and then moved his
family to North Carolina where
he was a Division Controller
for Riegel Paper Corporation.
Later he was promoted to Corporate Controller of Riegel Paper Corporation, a Fortune 500
company, where he worked at
corporate offices in New York
City. Subsequently he left Riegel Paper and moved to Bainbridge. He became President
of York Modern Corporation
in Unadilla, a manufacturer of
landscaping and road maintenance equipment. He held this
position for 35 years until his
retirement.
He enjoyed flying his own
airplanes for most of his life,
as well as deep sea fishing and
playing golf.
He was especially proud of
the fact that all seven of his
grandchildren graduated from
college.
He is survived by his son
John York Compton and daughter-in-law Susan, of Oneonta,

KPAC Instructors Help Kids Work on Broadway
SIDNEY - Local dance instructors from the Kennedy
Performing Arts Centre of
Sidney have recently returned
from their 2nd annual workshop event in New York City.
Niki Reed and Tara Judd have
been teaching dance in the Sidney area at the Kennedy Performing Arts Centre since August 2007. As studio directors
at KPAC Miss Niki and Miss
Tara have found great success
in the performance industry
with their students and choreography. Upon growing the
“Kennedy” name, sisters, Niki
and Tara have been invited to
choreograph and teach master
classes at dance studios across
the east coast. With the demand
for teaching and choreographing at other studios, Niki Reed
and Tara Judd have started a
workshop company called “Triple Threat Talent Tour” where
they travels to cities across the
US hosting workshops in acting, singing and dancing.
“The goal of our workshop
company is to help talented
youth in small towns or large
cities learn how to succeed in
the entertainment business,”
explains Niki Reed. “Currently
we have helped almost 20 kids
get signed with well-known talent agencies out of New York
City and Los Angeles, Calif.,
and multiple kid’s book work
with Broadway shows, print
ads, and television.” “We work
with people who are currently
performing and working in the
entertainment industry to help
today’s youth know what to
expect at auditions and learn
how to network and build connections for their future,” says
co-owner Tara Judd.
The most recent workshop
hosted in NYC was a 4-day
event Aug. 2 -5 and was packed
full of well-known names in the
talent industry. To kick off the
event, past workshop attendee
Dougie Baldeo sent his mom
to visit Triple Threat as a thank
you. Dougie Baldeo is just 10
years old from New York City
and is currently starring in the
Broadway musical Kinky Boots.
Dougie attended last year’s Triple Threat NYC workshop the
day before his first Broadway
audition for Kinky Boots. Dougie’s mom gave Niki and Tara’s
workshop credit for his success
at his audition.
“Triple Threat fully prepared
Dougie for his Kinky Boots
audition and I thank them for
the confidence and knowledge
he had that day. Tara and Niki
played a huge role in helping
Dougie book his very first role
on Broadway,” says Dougie’s
mom. The Triple Threat Talent
Tour has recently helped other
kids like Dougie, meet with
agents and attend auditions for
agents, television and movies.
As for the workshop classes,
the event consisted of two-audition workshop classes with
Clear Talent Agency and Bloch
talent Agency (both out of
NYC). The talent agents partnered up with the Kennedy sisters (Tara and Niki) to teach the
‘audition workshop’ classes.
Niki and Tara choreographed
two routines to be ‘auditioned’
for the agents.
“It was really neat to teach
kids from all-over the US at our
workshop, we even had kids
travel from Los Angeles just
for our event,” said Tara Judd.
The agents then chose six kids
to cast at the mock audition
classes, three of which were
KPAC students, Colleen McElligott of Sidney, Tanner Reed of
Unadilla and Matraca Harmon
of Bainbridge. “We got to learn
dance combinations and perform them for agents at a mock
auditio .I was one of the people
to be picked. These experiences
have helped build my confidence because it has taught me
what to expect when I go to a
real audition.”
In addition to Clear Talent
Agency, Bloch Talent agency
and Tara and Niki, there were
many other teachers at the
Triple Threat NYC workshop.
Broadway star Amy Spanger
and Broadway stars Ioana Alfonso (from Wicked on Broadway) and James Patric Moran
(from Chicago on Broadway)
taught alongside Ms. Ashle
Dawson from SYTYCD and
the Broadway Dance Center.
The Triple Threat workshop
also welcomed Patrick Goodwin from Telsey+Company
casting agency for the private
showcase.
“This was my favorite Triple
Threat Talent Tour workshop
out of all that I’ve been to. It
was cool to get to work with a
bunch of people that are from
Broadway and learn choreography from real Broadway
shows,” said Matraca Harmon,
a 12 year-old from Bainbridge.
The entire workshop event
Sgt. Simpkin Reenlists In

LATHAM - Major General
Patrick A. Murphy, the Adjutant General, announces the
recent reenlistment of Sergeant

was wrapped up with a viewing of Wicked on Broadway.
The participants in the workshop had learned some choreography from Wicked with one
of the show’s lead ensemble
characters at the workshop. After the show, the Triple Threat
workshop participants were
lucky enough to meet some of
the lead characters in the show
where they asked questions
about being on Broadway.
In the near future, Miss Tara
Judd and Niki Reed have workshops planned in Albany, New
York City, Los Angeles, Calif.
and Pittsburgh, Pa. “We are
very excited about this season’s
upcoming workshops. We are
bringing on some new teachers from So You Think You Can
Dance and movies and Broadway,” said Miss Tara. Miss Niki
adds, “It has been such a wonderful experience helping these
kids to reach their dreams! We
cannot wait to see what the next
year brings.”
The Kennedy Performing
Arts Centre of Sidney is now
taking fall class registrations
at
www.kennedypac.webs.
com. KPAC focuses on providing quality dance training with
the opportunities to travel and
perform at competitions and
events locally and nationally.
“We pride ourselves on bringing out the individual performer in each student we have. To
us it is important to teach our
dancers the proper techniques
to prevent injury and better
their skills as dancers. We also
equip each of our students with
the confidence they need to
succeed not only in dance but
in every day challenges they
may face.”

the team to a 16-0 win. Taylor
Palmatier took the circle as
the Streakers faced Unatego
in the championship game.
Palmatier pitched a complete
game with seven strikeouts
facing only 18 batters. Bainbridge was able to take the
win 11-1 with a strong showing by Marissa Thornton
who added 2-RBI’s and Abbi
Miller with 3 hits and 2-RBI’s.
Marissa Thornton and Abbi
Miller were placed on the alltournament team with Taylor
Palmatier being named Most
Valuable Player.
The Bainbridge Streakers
would like to thank their sponsors for the 2014 season. Sponsors include: John’s Garage,
Frog Pond Farms, BG Booster
Club, Afton Tent Rental, Rosa’s Restaurant, Blitz Family
Dental, Bainbridge Memorial
Works, Dr. Michelle Gifford,
DDS, Newbauer Construction and Pine Ridge Groceries. Without the support of the
sponsors Bainbridge Streaker
players would not be able
to enjoy the game they love
throughout the summer.
The Bainbridge Streakers
are coached by Randy Palmatier with a variety of assistants that make the program
possible.

Chobani Tennis Classic
Benefits Pathfinder Village
EDMESTON - Tennis enthusiasts will gather at the
Cooperstown Country Club
the day after Labor Day, on
Tuesday, Sept. 2, to take part in
the fifth annual Chobani Tennis Classic to benefit the Pathfinder Village Foundation’s
Scholarship Endowment.
The double-flight round
robin match is expected to
draw 32 players from throughout the Northeast, and offers
competition and camaraderie in the beautiful lakeside
setting of the Cooperstown
Country Club. This year, title
sponsor Chobani is joined
by two new trophy sponsors,
Strategic Financial Services of
Utica, and Manning & Napier
of Fairport. The tourney is organized by a committee led by
co-chairs Bob and Pat Hanft
of Cooperstown.
The tournament runs concurrently with the Pro-Am
portion of the Otesaga Hotel
Seniors Open tournament,
7 Foundry St.,
Greene, NY 13778
607-222-2022
[email protected]
which is now in its 32nd
year and raises an additional
$50,000 in scholarship monies
for Pathfinder residents. Other
proceeds benefit the education programs of the National
Baseball Hall of Fame and
Museum, which has recently
announced that 2014 Hall of
Fame Inductee Bobby Cox of
the Atlanta Braves will be this
year’s celebrity host for the
Pro-Am.
Along with the Hanfts, the
Pathfinder Village Foundation’s Tennis Committee includes Kathleen Gozigian and
Melinda Hardin, both of Cooperstown, Rhonda Willies of
Oneonta, Cassandra Treen and
Don Brown of Chobani, and
Village Chief Executive Officer Paul C. Landers. For more
information about the Chobani Tennis Classic, please contact the Development Staff at

Sierra McCarthy, Olivia Nichols, Sawyer Nichols, Dalton
O’Keefe, My’kel Perry, Adriana Petrutoni, Aliana Reyes,
Silas Treffeisen and Thaddeus
Treffeisen.
As another year closes we
would like to especially thank
instructor Matt Asma for coming to the Guilford town building to teach the mandatory
CPR/First aid courses to our
lifeguards/instructors and beach
aides.
A special thank you to the
Town of Guilford taxpayers for
providing the funds for these
worthwhile programs as well as
employment for our area youth.
We had a record number of bathers this year due to the extremely
hot weather. We appreciated the
use of the Klee House on rainy
days and would like to thank
the Klee House committee. The
Town of Guilford Highway Department did an excellent job of
trash removal and keeping the
beach mowed as well the grass
along the roadway to the beach.
Keeping the brush cut along the
roadway and the new “Special
Parking” sign for boat trailers
was very helpful for our parking problem. The new gate to
the beach from the upper field
made an easier access in case of
an emergency as well as getting
the docks and equipment to the
beach. And last, but not least, a
big thank you to McDonald’s
for providing the drink for our
swimming party and to all the
parents for their part in the
program.
The Guilford Swim Program
would not be possible without
the kind gesture of the Streiff
family in allowing the Town
of Guilford to lease the beach
area for swimming this year for
which we are very grateful.
Looking forward to seeing
everyone next year.
