A community newspaper
company that operates daily
and weekly newspapers in
New York and Pennsylvania
will be the new owner of The
Tri-Town News effective June
1, 2015.
The River Valley News
Group (SMG08, LLC), headed
by veteran newspaperman and
and co-owner Kelly Luvison,
is purchasing the newspaper
from Paden Publishing, LLC.
The company also publishes
newspapers in Oswego and
Fulton, NY, as well as Sayre
and Milton, Pa.
Luvison and his longtime
partner, George Sample III,
principal and CEO of the larger Sample News Group with
his wife Marlene, also operate
local newspapers in southern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New Hampshire and Maine.
“In an era of corporate media conglomerates, we’re a
privately held newspaper company by design,” Luvison said.
“We understand the importance of all-local news content, local staff and the commitment a newspaper makes
to the community it serves.”
“This transaction is good
for our advertisers, readers, employees and the entire
area,” said Kenneth S. Paden,
publisher of the The Tri-Town
News, “because the new owners are small town, hometown
operators who want to grow
and improve our newspapers.”
Luvison’s son, Kirk, will
take the helm as general
manager of not only The TriTown News, but also its sister
newspapers headquartered in
Greene, which are also part of
the sale. Kirk has been a manager at the Sayre daily newspaper for the past five years.
He and his wife, Lauren, are
currently in the process of relocating to the tri-town area.

Father Gordon’s 29 Years in Sidney
Has Been a Blessing to the Community
SIDNEY – It’s been 29
years since the Catholic
Bishop called Father Gordon
Polenz to go to Sidney, a village he had heard of but didn’t
know where it was, in a county
he had never stepped a foot in.
Since his arrival in Sidney,
Father Gordon has developed
a special relationship with not
only his parishioners at the
Sacred Heart Catholic Church
where he was assigned pastoral and administrative duties,
but the entire community.
After serving the church and
community for so many years,
Father Gordon is retiring and
moving to Florida. Before
leaving the community wants
to thank him for his service.
Because of the positive role
Father Gordon has played in
the community the Sidney
Chamber of Commerce is
recognizing him as the 2015
Citizen of the Years. Those
nominating him for the honor
spoke of his “helping to shape
the lives of many youth, and
creating enriching experiences for all ages.”
Father Gordon’s journey
into the priesthood early on
took several detours. Of Polish descent, he was raised in
a Catholic home, although
at one time his mother was a
Methodist. Father Gordon was
born in Schenectady, where he
attended school. Right out of
high school he wanted to be
a priest. However, as a youth
the church’s emphasis on
Latin discouraged him. For a
time he considered going into
food service, but instead took
an accounting course and be-
came an accountant.
During this time he also
began volunteering at an inner city youth program, which
turned out to be a step to returning to his original desire
to enter the priesthood. His
journey took him to studying
at Mater Christi Seminary in
Albany, St. Mary’s University

FROM
N.Y. STATE SENATOR
JAMES L. SEWARD
Senate Acts On Measures To Provide
Safer Communities, Safer Highways
Helping keep our local communities, neighborhoods, and
families safe and secure is
among my top concerns as a
state senator. This past week
I helped advance a number of
initiatives that will help address public safety.
Several measures focused
specifically on child safety.
The bills approved by the senate would prevent felons from
working in child day care programs, increase penalties for
child endangerment, protect
consumers by preventing unauthorized vendors from selling
items like baby food, and help
keep military families together
by eliminating deployment as a
barrier to child custody.
Senate bill 1472A would
help ensure that young children are not being cared for by
felons with a history of serious
crimes. This measure would
prohibit convicted criminals
from working in child day care
programs. Under this legislation, if a person has been convicted of a felony because of
a sex offense, crime against a
child, or crime involving violence, or a conviction for a felony drug-related offense within
the past five years, they would
be denied an operating license
and employment at a child day
care facility. The bill also removes the Office of Children
and Family Services’ existing
discretion to permit criminals
to participate in child day care
programs.
Senate bill 3362 would create a felony crime of endangering the welfare of a child. The
bill makes it a class D violent
felony offense, punishable up
to seven years in prison, if a
person has been previously
charged with child endangerment. Under current law, the
crime is a misdemeanor offense
no matter how many times an
individual has been charged
with that crime in the past.
Senate bill 3297 would
prevent a military member’s
deployment or probability of
deployment from being a detrimental factor when determining child custody if a suitable
child care plan is presented.
This is a necessary safeguard
for our military personnel who
put their lives on the line to
protect our freedoms.
Senate bill 3840 would establish a new law to prevent
roving vendors from selling
baby food and other items, including nonprescription drugs,
cosmetics, and batteries. This
legislation would close a dangerous loophole and help protect children from items that
could be easily compromised
when exposed to sunlight and
heat.
Several other measures focused on improving highway
safety by holding drivers accountable for reckless and irresponsible actions. The legislation would increase or create
new penalties for repeat DWI
offenders, those who drive at
high speeds, and individuals
who cause a death while driving without a valid license.
Senate bill 4220 would require mandatory jail sentences for repeat DWI offenders.
Under the proposed measure,
drunk drivers would be required to serve a minimum of
30 days in jail for their second
DWI conviction in 10 years, and
a minimum of 90 days in jail if
they are convicted of three or
more DWI offenses within 10
years. In addition, drivers convicted of their second aggravated DWI in 10 years would
face a mandatory 180-day sentence, and drivers convicted of
three or more aggravated DWIs
would be sentenced to jail for a
minimum of one year. These
sentences would be in addition
to any other penalties imposed
by the courts.
Senate bill 1600 would
strengthen penalties against
unlicensed drivers involved in
car accidents resulting in someone’s death. The legislation
would give prosecutors broader
discretion to seek a prison term
by making it a class E felony to
negligently cause the death of
another person while operating
a vehicle with a suspended or
revoked license.
Senate bill 3732 would take
aim at high-speed vehicle fatalities by mandating harsher
penalties for racing on our
highways.
Senate bill 2976 would close
a legal loophole that lets intoxicated supervising drivers escape punishment. “Abbagail’s
Law” increases the penalties
against individuals who are
under the influence of drugs or
alcohol while also supervising
drivers with junior licenses or
learner’s permits.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sasha Thanks You!
SIDNEY – This is Sasha,
and for the moment she resides at the Delaware Valley
Humane Society. She came
to the shelter with a dislocated hip joint. She had to have
corrective surgery, which was
successful.
Thank you to the doctor and
staff at Community Veterinary
Center, staff and volunteers at
the shelter and the transporters. For those of you who donated for Sasha’s surgery and
recovery expenses, we are all
forever grateful.
Sasha will need to heal for
at least eight weeks and then
hopefully will find a new forever home. Feel free to stop
and visit as she recovers.
Thank You to
Sidney Community
It is with mixed emotions
that I retire as the Recreation
Director for the Village of
Sidney. During my 34 years
I have been blessed to have
worked with in a community
that always puts the best interest of our youth first. While it
is impossible to list each volunteer coach and assistants,
as there are hundreds, I do remember you all. I am forever
grateful and appreciative for
your commitment and dedication to our youth in what ever
activity you coached, whether
it be baseball, softball, basketball or soccer.
It is because of you, that
makes Sidney the community
it is and a great place to live.
From the bottom of my
heart, God Bless you all.
Sincerely,
Paul Foote

B. Henderson, 43, of Franklin,
for the misdemeanors of criminal obstruction of breathing or
blood circulation, second degree unlawful imprisonment,
fourth degree criminal mischief
and the violation of second harassment. This arrest occurred
after Troopers responded to a
Delaware County 911 report of
a dispute at a residence on Rod
& Gun Club Road in the Town
of Franklin. An investigation
determined that during a physical dispute with his girlfriend
he grabbed her by the neck,
kept her from using the telephone to call police and would
not let her leave. Henderson
was arraigned in the Town of
Davenport Court and remanded to the Delaware County Jail
in lieu of a $2,500 cash bail
or $5,000 property bond. His
next court date for the Town of

Judge Becker
Announces
His Retirement
DELHI – Delaware County
Court Judge Carl F. Becker
announced his retirement effective July 31, 2015, to his
Court staff on Law Day, Friday, May 1. Judge Becker
served the people of Delaware
County for over 28 years as an
attorney for the Department of
Social Services before being
elected County Court Judge
in 2002.
“It has been a great privilege and honor to serve the
people of Delaware County
as Delaware County Judge,
and more recently, as an Acting Supreme Court Justice,
said Becker. I will be forever
grateful to my colleagues and
co-workers who have served
with me in the court system.
I am particularly grateful to
the professionals in the Mental Health and Substance
Abuse Treatment community,
the Delaware County Probation Department and members of the Delaware County
Board of Supervisors, without
whose continuing support the
Delaware County Drug Court
and Family Treatment Court
would not be possible. I, most
humbly, want to thank the
people of Delaware County
for allowing me to have the
best seat in the house for the
past 12 years.
I have been blessed with a
loving family and good health
and will soon have the opportunity to more fully enjoy
both.”

waiting for the grasses to grow
so they may harvest them soon;
the target dates are supposed to
be around May 15 but that has
passed and nothing is ready yet.
There has been some calves
born and they are doing well I
am told. I cannot go to the barn
and help yet as I am still recovering from the knee replacement I had in April. We have a
few kittens born and they need
homes, if you need one please
come to the farm or call us at
265-3368 and we can arrange
for an adoption. Harold started
to plant some corn and seems
to be doing pretty well trying to
do the fields that are ready and
not too wet for planting. We, as
well as other farmers, are hoping the weather will cooperate
to get the planting done. Please
keep all of our farmers in your
thoughts every day.

PET OF THE WEEK
DELAWARE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY
SIDNEY 563-7780
Ginger
Ginger is around 6-years old
and she is a German Shorthair
Pointer. She is just very lovable, and you can see in her
face how sweet she truly is.
Ginger is very laid back and
will be happy just spending
her days with you.
Upon arrival, we noticed
that Ginger had a few skin issues that were taken care of
with antibiotics and coconut
oil. We also did some testing
and discovered that she had
a urinary tract infection, and
treatment for that was successful, as well. Her last test
showed that she was clear. It
was very obvious that whoever had her, did not take care of
her properly and we couldn’t
help but notice that she must
have been used for breeding.
Those days are over for Ginger, and now she can move on
to a new and wonderful life.
Ginger is a sweetheart that
you will love waking up to
every morning, and we know
that because when we arrive
to start our day and peek in on
her, it is her adorable, “I Love
You” expression that we see
and can’t help but fall in love
with.
Come see for yourself at:
Delaware Valley Humane Society, 101 East Main St., Sidney, or call 563-7780; check
our website at [email protected].
New hours of operation:
Monday through Sunday, 11

TRI-TOWN’S OWN
STIMULUS PLAN
BY JOAN DICHIARA
Garage Sale
Need to make some extra
money? If you have a garage
sale it is a great way to make
that extra money. Since the
weather is warm this would be
a good time to do one. Having
a garage sale takes work and
can be extremely frustrating if
you don‘t know what you are
doing. A well-planned garage
sale will mean a successful one
which could mean more money
in your wallet. Here are some
ways to have a successful garage sale.
First, choose dates and times
for your garage sale. Friday and
Saturdays are usually the best
dates to have your sale. A good
time to run a garage sale is from
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. or any time you
might want.
Next take a box and go
through every room in your
house. Pick up things you don’t
want or haven’t used in months.
Check your closets, attics, basements and garage to find things
for your garage sale. If you have
any old CDs they are great for
a sale. Also cell phone charges
or USB cables that you are not
using, someone who comes
to your sale might need these
items.
If you want to have a lot of
people coming to your garage
sale create a newspaper ad in
your local newspaper, Tri-Town
News. Before you write your ad,
find out how much space you get
for the price you’re willing to
pay. Keep the ad short and list
your biggest items first. Don’t
forget to include your address
as well as the dates and times
for your sale. You could also let
your friends on Facebook know
you are having a garage sale.
Make Garage Sale signs but
check your town clerk or local
police station to tell you what
you can and can’t do about garage sale signs. If you can advertise through town make sure
the garage sale is large enough
for people to see as they drive
by. Remember to include your
address or an arrow pointing
towards your house. When the
sale is over remember to remove
the signs.
Before the garage sale, make
sure you have everything you
need. Some of the items you will
need are chairs to sit on, a table
to take payments and provide
change, and plenty of space to
display your goods. Make sure
everything is set up the night
before the garage sale.
Sort your items such as
clothes, books, home goods,
children’s toys and any other
items you might have, then price
each item individually. Price
your items reasonably because
if they are priced too high the
people might walk away. Also
have some free items available.
When the customers come to
your garage sale don’t be pushy.
When they arrive greet them
and sit back and wait for them
to come to you.
When the garage sale is over
and you still have items left you
can put them on your front lawn
with a sign “free.” Another idea
is to give them to your local
church who might have a drop
box for used clothing or other
items. Good Luck with your garage sale if you decide to have
one.
If you have any money saving tips or ideas e-mail me at
[email protected]. Till next
time have a great week.

Six to Be Inducted into Hall of Fame
BAINBRIDGE – Six individuals will be inducted into
the General Clinton Canoe
Regatta Hall of Fame during
the 53rd annual Regatta, May
22-25 in Bainbridge.
The fourth class of inductees will be honored at General
Clinton Park with an informal
food and beverage offering,
to be followed by the Hall of
Fame ceremony. Regatta organizers plan the induction
festivities for 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 23.
Like 2014, this year’s class
is comprised of four individuals known for their longevity
and successes in canoe paddling, especially the 70-mile
endurance race. Two others
are being recognized for their
many years volunteer efforts
in the Regatta’s earliest years.
The class of 2015 includes:
Jan Whitaker (West Henrietta): The first female to
compete in the 70-mile race
in 1971. Fourteen finishes in
mixed competition cruising
and women’s or mixed pro divisions, plus several years of
relay and sprint races. Also
won 19 U.S Canoe Marathon
races in various categories.
Retired from competitive canoeing in 2012.
Calvin Hassel (Grand Island): One of the country’s
most acclaimed canoe racers.
Twenty-time 70-mile finisher, as C-1 or C-2 competitor.

and 2006. Has won more than
40 National titles in C-1 and
C-2 and has amassed more
than 500 wins in races of all
distances.
Mike Packard (Oneonta):
Thirty 70-mile finishes including 11 in C-1, where he
placed third three times in the
pro division. Also has a trio of
9th place C-2 pro showings.
Was 1984 winner of the former “Super Aluminum” class.
Since the late 1990s, Mike has
chaired the Generation Gap
races and is active on the Regatta Committee.
Rodney Robinson (Otego):
As much a force on Regatta
organization as the actual
paddling in the race, with 30
finishes of 70 miles, 11 of
those were in C-1 pro or with
various partners – 1982 Aluminum champion with John
Winn most notable. Has paddled with daughter Miranda
for 19 of those finishes, starting when she was eight.
Dick Sloane (Bainbridge,
deceased): Original Regatta

Regatta meeting to determine
how a canoe race could bring
visitors to Bainbridge and the
surrounding area. Long-time

deceased): Original Regatta
committee member. Member of finance committee for
new Regatta Park, then took

Regatta Row Chair Auction and Exhibit
Are This Saturday at General Clinton Park
BAINBRIDGE - The Jericho Arts Council’s (JAC) “Regatta Row” Chair Auction will
be held on Saturday, May 23 at
6 p.m. at the General Clinton
Park/Regatta Field. The chairs
will be on display outdoors, until the afternoon of May 23, on
North Main Street and Route
206 in Bainbridge, from Rosa’s
Restaurant to Bob’s Diner. Then
they will be moved to the General Clinton Park/Canoe Regatta Field for an auction preview
from 3:30 to 6 p.m. This will
be held outside the Chamber of
Commerce tent.
The 14 chairs were created
by amazing and creative artists
who interpreted Bainbridge’s
nature, culture, history, farms,
whimsy and of course the Canoe Regatta finish line. The
unique, custom made Adirondack style chairs, designed
by the JAC and made in town
by Dan Stoltzfus of Riverside
Farm Stand, feature canoe
paddles as part of the back and
arms. Each unfinished chair
served as a blank canvas for the
invited artists creations. They
are embellished with fine art
paintings with themes ranging
from the “Utter Love Story”
of Elmer and Elsie of Borden’s
fame, serene river scenes and
dairy farms, a faux finish with
stunning wood graining, a fluttering blaze of maple leaves,
soaring eagles and vintage
bandstands, maps of the river
with a child’s pocket full of
embedded treasures from the
Susquehanna’s shores (including a 3,000 year old arrowhead, fishing lure and hooks,
pottery shards with bulls, and
time etched pebbles). There is
a bold celebration of the joy of
shooting pool at the Bainbridge
pubs, of friendly monsters at
the river edge and finally, visual celebrations of all of the local farm animals, birds, flowers
and wildlife in the surrounding
hills and dales. These works of
art are up for auction on Memorial Day Weekend!
An oversized replica of the
Canoe Paddle Chairs was built
with the JAC plans and donated by Councilman Dave De
Clue. The giant chair is near
Bainbridge Town Hall with
the other chairs. It has been
the inspiration for lots of selfies and family snapshots. It will
be permanently installed at the
General Clinton Regatta Field
after Memorial Day Weekend.
A stroll through Bainbridge
will provide lots of photo ops,
24-hours a day.
Absentee bids (and arrangements to bid if you cannot be
present at the live auction) can
be made by calling the JAC
Gallery Committee through
Ian Tonnessen at 917-374-9383.
The absentee bids will be made

Festival will bring you a wide

Kolby Oakley will open
the festival at 2 p.m. with his
high energy country show.
Kolby Oakley takes the stage

proudly displayed on the fret
board and steps up to the microphone. In the first 10 seconds of the show, you are astonished by the polished and
unique tone of his voice and
amazing guitar playing. The
19 year old from upstate New
York seems to transform into
a 35 year old multi-platinum
singer/songwriter who commands the stage and captivates you the whole show.
He will be covering all of the
current country hits as well as
classic artists including Garth
Brooks, Johnny Cash and
Dwight Yoakam. The Kolby
Oakley Band was invited to
play before The Zac Brown
Band at the 2014 Dick’s Open
which sold out 20,000 tickets
in a week. Kolby is currently
working on his new album
and has just released his first
single, “MUD BOG” January
2015. He has released a music
video for the single as well.
“To play a song that you wrote
and put so much time into, for
me, is one of the best feelings
in the world and I cannot wait
to share my music with all of
my fans,” says Oakley. Kolby
hopes to take his album to the
national stage, starting in his
hometown, then to Nashville,
then the world. “My album
is about where I’m from and
what I love. And I can’t wait
for all of my fans and future
fans to jump in this truck with
me and hit the road, no matter where it goes.” Visit him at
http://kolbyoakley.com and on
facebook.
Next up at 5 p.m. is a Regatta favorite, The Randy

Wounded Warriors Will Play
In Oneonta and Cooperstown
ONEONTA – The Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball
Team (WWAST) will be playing in Oneonta on Saturday,
May 23 and in Cooperstown
on Sunday, May 24.
Saturday, the team will be
playing at Damaschke Field,
15 James Georgeson Ave. at
4 p.m., against the Oneonta
Police and Fire Departments.
Sunday, they will be playing
a double-header at Doubleday
Field, 125 Main St., at 12 p.m.
against the Cooperstown Fire
and Police Departments and
Veterans and event sponsors.
There is an admission charge
for both games.
The Wounded Warrior
Amputee Softball Team
(WWAST) is a charitable organization, raising awareness,
educating and inspiring the
public about the strength and
resiliency of their wounded
warriors. This organization
is a perfect example of how
a positive attitude, commitment, dedication and perseverance allow these warriors
to overcome any obstacle.
The WWAST is comprised of
athletic amputee veterans and
active duty servicemen and
women who travel the country
playing able-bodied teams in
competitive, celebrity and exhibition softball games, bringing their special brand of softball, courage and inspiration.
The team’s motto is, “Life
Without a Limb is Limitless.”
“It is very satisfying to
know that the Oneonta area
is a strong supporter of the
military and honors active
duty soldiers and Veterans,”
said Dennis Wince, WWAST
Executive Director and US
Army Veteran. “Working on
this venue, we have seen first
hand the strong pride that
this area of New York displays for military personnel
and Wounded Warriors and
it is very gratifying to see the
recognition for those that have
served our country.”
For more information

WWAST, contact Dennis

Sidney Senior Nick Meno
HIGH SCHOOL BOX SCORES
Finishes 41-0 in MAC Tennis
BASEBALL
SIDNEY - They say, “It’s
worth the wait.” That must be
true for Sidney High School
senior, Nick Meno. He finished a six-year career on the
hard courts without a loss in
MAC League play. Nick began
his career as a seventh grader.
He rushed on to the tennis
scene with tenacity. Nick immediately had a starting position behind the upperclassmen
at #3 singles, but that didn’t
stop him from winning the
first three matches he played.
Then, it happened. Every athlete’s nightmare, a broken foot
for the newly polished player.
His 2010 season came to an
abrupt end.
In the spring of 2011 and
2012, Nick tallied records of
8-0 and 7-0 at the #2 position. All the while refining
his skills and learning from
the bigger, more experienced
players. But Nick had a plan,
moving into the #1 position
in the 2013 season. He posted
10-0, 7-0 and 6-0 records respectively his sophomore, junior and senior years.
If you asked Nick what this
secret was to his success he
would tell you intelligence.
He had a high work ethic during practices, but out-smarted
most of his opponents most
of the time. Nick could easily
combine natural athletic skills
with the court sense that wins
championships. His coach
says he was always one step
ahead of the other team’s best
players. A true competitor in
every aspect of the word: ability, sportsmanship and ethics.
Nick will be taking all his
skills and intellect to the University of Florida in the fall.
The tennis program in Sidney
will never be able to replace
Nick in the record books or
their thoughts as he starts on
his way to a bright future.
Best of luck from six years
of teammates and his one and
only coach.

PUZZLE CORNER
Afton Girl Scouts Show Appreciation to Volunteers
AFTON - Spring is here
and the 2014 - 2015 school year
is coming to an end. The Girl
Scouts Service Unit of Afton
would like to express our great
appreciation and gratitude to
each and every volunteer who
have given their time and energy to make this a wonderful
year for all the growing and
learning young ladies of our
community who benefit from,
and enjoy their precious years
of being Girl Scouts.
Pictured here are Eileen
Tallmadge, Sue Shove, and
Helen Kittle. These women
have all dedicated many years
volunteering in Girls Scouts.
Many of us remember our own
young Girl Scouting years with
these ladies as our leaders doing
RISC activities, canoeing, guiding us, and ensuring that as Girl
Scouts we were able to achieve
every amazing goal that we set
in front of ourselves.
To these women, and every
other volunteer, we thank you
for all you do for Girl Scouts
in addition to your own busy
schedules. You are appreciated
Across
more than you know.
Volunteers are always needed
in our community and the Afton
Girl Scouts are also in need and
looking for volunteers. There
are many different ways you
can volunteer from just small
amounts of time to being very
active in our Service Unit.
Call Melanie Mueller at 2428180, or ask any of your other
area Girl Scout Volunteers to
answerquestions as to how you
can be a valuable part of many
girl’s young years of Girl Scout-
ing and make a difference.
In addition, it is never too
early or too late to register your
daughter for Girl Scouts. Registration for next year has already
begun for the 2015-2016 year.
Registered Girl Scouts have
many wonderful opportunities
available to them, and going
to camp during the summer at
Amahami is one delight many
girls look forward to every
summer.
Thank you again for all that
you do volunteers!
New Beginnings to Celebrate
2nd Anniversary This Weekend
BAINBRIDGE - The New
Beginnings Thrift Shop at the
First Presbyterian Church in
Bainbridge will be celebrating its second anniversary this
Memorial weekend. The shop
opened this same weekend in
2013 and has been expanding
in both quantity and variety
of merchandise, as well as in
numbers of customers. Please
stop by and congratulate our
hard working volunteers for
all the hours they have spent
making this mission a success, and enjoy a home baked
cookie as you chat.
New summer hours will
begin this week. Note that the
hours will be different each
Father Gordon
(Continued from Page 1)
in Baltimore, Md., Siena College in Loudonville, SUNY
Albany and North American
College in Rome, Italy. While
living abroad he was able to
visit the Holy Lands, which
made a tremendous impression on him.
When Father Gordon arrived in Sidney as a young
priest, one of the first projects
at the Sacred Heart Church
was the building of a new
Parish Center. The old building was in disrepair and parishioner Tom Mirabito, Sr.
convinced him the best thing
to do was to tear down the
old building and build a new
center, a major undertaking.
Father Gordon admits, “I
dragged my feet at first” but
with the backing of his parishioners, they went forward
resulting in a handsome building used for activities by many
in the community.
Over the years Father Gordon has played a guiding role
in many of the activities at the
church enjoyed by the entire
community including the annual Harvest Festival and the
Valentine Dinner Dance. He
has also been instrumental in
the Operation Merry Christmas program.
Father Gordon is a 20-year
member of the Rotary Club of
Sidney where he has been involved with the Rotary Youth
Exchange program. His Rotary honors include recognition
as a Paul Harris Fellow. He is
also a member of the Knights
of Columbus, and is a charter
executive for Scout Pack 88
and Troop 88.
Known for his “green
thumb,” examples of his gar-

dening talents are in evidence
outside the Parish Center.
The Hill and Valley Garden
Club presented him with their
Green Thumb Award. Also
noted for his love for decorating during the Christmas
season, the Sidney Chamber
of Commerce has recognized
him with their “Spirit of
Christmas” designation at his
Bridge St. home.
While Sundays usually find
Father Gordon in a clerical
robe, outside the church he
is often spotted wearing his
colorful pig motif suspenders. What is obvious when
you visit Father Gordon’s office in the Parish Center is his
many years of collecting pigs.
Big ones. Little ones. Famous
ones, like Miss Piggy and the
Three Little Pigs. From floor
to ceiling the shelves in his office are overflowing with pigs
and pig related merchandise –
and he says he has even more
at home.
Why pigs? Father Gordon
recalls that growing up he and
his sister would sometimes
fight, using what his mother
considered bad words. As a
result, she would wash their
mouths out with soap. “We
came up with the idea of saying pig – piggy, piggy, piggy
when we got mad.” A word
their mother didn’t consider
bad. Then someone gave him a
pig figure as a gift and collecting pigs soon mushroomed.
Growing up, Father Gordon also acquired the nickname “Seeds.” His father,
first a farmer, later owned a
seed company so his sixth
grade friends began calling
him “Seeds.” Even today that
might be an appropriate nickname for a man who plants
seeds of hope for a more lov-
ing, compassionate and peaceful world.
Father Gordon knows “we
can’t change a lot of things in
the world but we can change
things in our own little corner
of the world. We can live the
message of God – love and acceptance of others. We need
to judge less and love more.”
Father Gordon is particularly concerned about today’s
young people. “We need to
reach out to them with love
and patience, but not preach at
them. Kids need a good support system.”
Some time ago Father
Gordon purchased a home in
Florida in Polk County near
his sister. A rural area with
lots of orange groves, Father
Gordon will have the time
and space to attend to a flower
garden. And yes, he’s taking
his pigs south – at least most
of them.
In Florida he will also have
an opportunity to serve as a
supply pastor. Several years
ago when he was visiting in
Florida the pastor at a nearby
church was injured and Father
Gordon stepped in to help.
Now that he’s retiring as a
full time priest, he will offer
his services as a supply pastor.
“This means no administrative duties, just working with
the people. I love it.”
Father Gordon says he has
been blessed to be assigned to
Sidney, but the people feel it is
the community that has been
blessed to have Father Gordon
in their midst.
The Sidney Chamber of
Commerce will present Father Gordon with their 2015
Citizen of the Years award at
their annual dinner June 5 at
the Sidney Elks Club.
