SUGGESTED PRICE 75¢
Outpatient Specialty Clinic Opens
At the Tri-Town Regional Hospital
SIDNEY – Cancer and orthopedic care, plastic surgery
and general surgery outpatient
services will be available at
Tri-Town Regional Hospital
(TRH) in a new outpatient
specialty services clinic that
opened Monday, Jan. 21. The
outpatient specialty clinic at
TRH is located on the hospital’s second floor.
TRH Chief Executive Of-
ficer Dan Ayres notes, “Access to specialty care is an
identified need in the tri-town
region. For most services,
people living in the area have
to travel quite a distance and
that can be tough, especially
for cancer patients. Having an
outpatient specialty clinic in
Sidney will be a great help to
the people living in Delaware
County.”

Unadilla Democrats

UNADILLA - Village of
Unadilla Democrats and independents interested in running
for either of two seats on the
Board of Trustees in March
are invited to attend a caucus
at the Unadilla Library on

A GROUP FROM UNATEGO attended the Alliance for Quality Education Rally for equitable funding in Albany in December. Another rally is being planned for February in the
Oneonta area,
Local Schools to Seek Help From Albany
With “Save Our Schools” Rally in February
SIDNEY – Efforts to put
pressure on the state to bring
about changes in the state aid
formula to make it more equitable for the less wealthy
school districts, and to push
for fewer mandates are being
led by tri-town area school administrators, board of education members and concerned
residents. Chuck Molloy,
district superintendent at the
Unatego Central School and
Richard Downey, a member
of the Unatego Board of Education, say Unatego is one of
several state school districts
“in dire need” of increased
state aid in order to provide a
high quality educational program to meet the needs of its
students.
Unatego was one of a number of schools that participated
in the Save Our Schools rally
last year and is now taking a
leadership position in making plans for another rally
in February to put pressure
on Albany to recognize that
school districts are facing tremendous problems and need

After more than a year of
detailed environmental and
engineering analysis, Constitution Pipeline Company
has finalized the route to be
included in the certificate application it plans to file with
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in
the spring of 2013.
Since last April the company has been involved in
the FERC pre-filing process,
soliciting input from citizens,
governmental entities and numerous other interested parties to identify and address
issues with potential facility
locations. The revised primary
route reflects changes to more
than 50 percent of the original
pipeline alignment introduced
during open houses last July
– most a direct result of stakeholder input.
“We’re confident that the
revised primary route is the
best possible path to minimize
environmental and landowner
impacts, balancing those considerations with the engineering requirements for safely
and properly constructing and
operating a transmission pipeline,” said Project Manager
Matt Swift.
“Since the time we introduced the project during the
public open houses, we’ve
studied 20 significant route
alternatives and more than
120 re-routes and other route
modifications. Of those, six
significant alternates and 89
route revisions were adopted into the current primary
route,” he added.
Of the 20 alternate routes
studied, the most significant
route alternative not incorporated into the revised align-
ment is Alternate Route M,
would have sited a large portion of the pipeline partially
adjacent to the I-88 corridor.
Swift says the company spent
months analyzing the environmental aspects and technical
feasibility of the route, but
ultimately determined that the
construction and environmental impacts associated with Alternate M were significantly

Recent Survey Shows Unadilla
Residents Oppose Gas Drilling
UNADILLA – Unadilla
Friends and Neighbors, a grassroots community organization
dedicated to the preservation of
the rural character of the area,
has just released the results of a
survey it took last fall. The survey asked residents and property owners to express their
opinions about allowing gas
drilling and gas pipelines within
the town.
All areas of the town and all
levels of opinion were represented in the responses. Almost
2,300 surveys were mailed
and over 425 responses were
received, about 19 percent.
The overwhelming majority
opposed both gas drilling and
pipeline construction. Most responses showed strongly held
opinions, regardless of what
they were. Opinions about gas
drilling were slightly stronger
than about pipelines.
Anne Siegel, co-founder of
the group, said the whole question of the risks to the drinking
water, damage to the environment and rapid changes to rural
life set against possible job creation and economic benefits has
aroused strong opinions. “Long
standing friendships have been
broken and sometimes family
members have stopped speaking to one another over this
issue,” Siegel said. “Several
groups have been formed town
by town, county by county and
even nationally to advocate on
whichever side of the issue they
believe in, but no one has tried
to find out what Unadilla residents think about it,” she said.
Siegel said that Unadilla
Friends and Neighbors asked
the Unadilla Town Board to
conduct a survey, but the board
declined to do so, citing lack of
funds and staff time. One board
member said, “If you can find
the money, the time and the experts set it up.” Believing that
the town board could represent
Unadilla citizens better if they
knew more accurately what they
think on this question, Unadilla
Friends and Neighbors began
the process of survey design.
Among the group there were a
scientist and a statistician with
experience in survey research
and a database manager with
expertise in mailing lists who
were able to make the survey
questions as impartial as possible and find a way to get the
survey to residents at minimal
cost. It was decided to keep the
survey simple and uncluttered,
asking only two questions: the
resident’s opinion on whether
or not gas drilling should be allowed in the town and whether
or not gas pipelines should be
laid.
Survey takers were asked to
rank the strength of their opinions on a five point scale and to
provide their addresses so that
only town residents would be
counted. For households with
more than one adult and for
those who did not get a survey
in the mail, the Unadilla Friends
and Neighbors’ website offered
a chance to take the survey
online.
“Surveys always have some
bias built in,” Siegel commented. “People who answer
are those who have an interest
in the topic and the reply will
depend on how the question
is asked—that’s why we were
fortunate to have experts within
our group. In this case, some
people were leery of returning
the survey because we asked for
name and address. The results
are completely confidential, but
we needed to be sure we were
counting only town residents
and property owners and that
we didn’t get multiple answers
from one person.”
Responses to the survey
were: In favor or strongly in favor of allowing gas drilling: 100
or 24%. Opposed or strongly
opposed to allowing gas drilling: 295 or 69%. Neutral or no
opinion: 31 or 7%.
In favor or strongly in favor
of allowing pipelines to be laid:
106 or 25%. Opposed or strongly opposed to allowing pipelines
to be laid: 278 or 65%. Neutral
or no opinion: 42 or 10%.

Pipeline
greater than the impacts associated with the route Constitution
intends to file.
“After performing a detailed
environmental and engineering
analysis, the construction and
environmental impacts associated with Alternate Route M
were shown to be significantly
greater than the impacts associated with the route we plan to
file,” he said.
The revised primary route
features less overall land impacts, including approximately
87 fewer acres of total forest
impacts during construction.
It also features about 20 fewer
miles of side slope construction,
which significantly reduces severe erosion, runoff and re-vegetation issues. The revised primary route also features fewer
water body crossings (22 fewer)
and significantly fewer residences within close proximity
to the proposed pipeline.
In addition, the revised primary route provides an opportunity to make modifications
to the existing Iroquois Gas
Transmission Wright compressor station, eliminating the need
for Constitution Pipeline to
construct a new 32,000-horsepower compressor facility in
Schoharie County as originally
proposed.
Constitution’s
original
32,000-horsepower gas turbine
compressor facility was being designed to re-pressurize
the gas prior to entering the
Iroquois Gas Transmission and
Tennessee Gas Pipeline systems. However, in an attempt
to further reduce environmental
and landowner impacts, Constitution Pipeline Company
has reached an agreement with
Iroquois Gas Transmission to
expand its existing Wright compressor station to accomplish
the same objectives as the original proposal. “The route we’ve
selected provides us with the

current formula the cap could
be four percent without requiring a super majority. However,
he explained that a four percent
increase would raise only about
$270,000.
Timing for state aid payments can also be a problem
since it doesn’t always coincide
with dates when school districts
must pay its bills. This can lead
to a need to borrow funds. To
pay their bills on time, the district might need to borrow $5M,
which would mean at least
$55,000 in interest.
Molloy said because of the
current financial picture, schools
have been forced to cut staff and
programs, particularly in the ar-
flexibility to eliminate the need
for a separate compressor station,” he added.
Swift said the revised primary route includes 60 miles
of route differential from the
original proposed pipeline
alignment, adding that a total of
approximately 530 miles of potential routes were evaluated by
a comparative analysis process.
Most of these route modifications were made to address
environmental issues, constructability and to accommodate
landowner requests. The modifications ranged in distance from
a few hundred feet, up to three
miles. Of the 20 significant
route alternatives, the following
were migrated into the proposed
route, either in whole or in part:
Alternate A (8.5 miles), Alternate B (16.5 miles), Alternate
F (3.0 miles), Alternate Q (7.8
miles), Alternate R (11.8 miles)
and Alternate T (4.0 miles).
Before any pipeline facilities
can be constructed, Constitution Pipeline Company must
first file an application with the
FERC demonstrating that the
pipeline is needed and outlining
the steps that would be taken
to minimize environmental impacts. The company intends to
file its certificate application
with the FERC in the spring
of 2013. However, drafts of resource reports 1-12 are expected to be filed with FERC in late
February 2013 and will include
detailed maps of the proposed
route.
Since last spring Constitution Pipeline Company has
been meeting with landowners
and other stakeholders along
the proposed pipeline’s primary
and alternate routes, conducting field surveys and soliciting
input to identify potential routing issues. This evaluation process is an important part of the
FERC pre-filing process, guiding the company as it explores
multiple route alternatives in an
attempt to identify the best possible pipeline route.
eas of languages, art and music,
technology and extra-curricular

The combination of insufficient state aid, and additional
unfunded mandates is putting
many school districts at risk
as they work to provide sound
basic educational programs in a
safe environment without putting a tremendous burden on local taxpayers. “The state expects
more from us but is unwilling to
give more,” said Molloy.
Both Molloy and Downey
feel it is important for the public to get behind their school
districts, become familiar with
their district’s programs and
concerns, and write to their
legislators asking for their support. “Unfortunately people
don’t realize what’s going on,”
said Downey, “Our kids deserve
better.”

Sidney United Way Supports
Red Cross Efforts with Donation
SIDNEY – The Southern
Tier Chapter of the American Red Cross has received a
$1,000 check from the Sidney
United Way to help in the response efforts for victims of
Hurricane Sandy.
“Even as we begin the new
year, the American Red Cross
continues to help those most
affected with food, emotional
support and assistance for people who lost their homes,” said
Shelly Bierwiler, community
chapter executive.
Nearly 1,000 Red Cross
workers are still on the ground
supporting survivors through
our relief work even as we begin our longer-term recovery
efforts. The Red Cross continues to provide food, water,
health services and emotional
support in some New York
neighborhoods. We continue
to operate fixed feeding sites
and provide some mobile feed-
ing in areas where there is still
a need. We are also helping to
fund several community food
banks in New York to help
provide an additional 60,000
meals a day to people in the
hardest hit areas. The Red
Cross is working with these
groups because they have the
experience and capacity to
provide large-scale and longterm community feeding in
N.Y.
Trained Red Cross workers are also helping to connect
people to recovery resources
and working with community
groups to identify available
support. The Red Cross is focused on how we can help support long-term recovery efforts
as the need for emergency services declines.
The American Red Cross
extends our heartfelt thanks
for the support we receive
from our communities.

BAINBRIDGE – The Jesse
Alexander Band will entertain
Saturday, Jan. 26 at 8 p.m. at
the Bainbridge Town Hall Opry
in the Bainbridge Town Hall
Theatre.
From the Finger Lakes Region of rural New York State
comes the traditional bluegrass
music of The Jesse Alexander
Band. This family band, fronted
by 14-year- old Jesse Alexander,
is focused on providing their listeners with a genuine traditional
bluegrass experience. The group
enjoys performing their own
interpretation of well-known
songs as well as exposing the
audience to some great, more
obscure bluegrass material.
While Jesse appeals to the
audience because of his young
age, he is also a very competent
musician. The band has worked
hard to develop a professional
caliber show that crowds really
enjoy. Audiences pay attention
to the close family harmonies
and solid, dynamic picking of
this tight unit. Whether singing
a slow pretty ballad or picking

LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
SAV Offers
Rewarding Way
To Volunteer
Are there people who read
this paper who want to contribute to the community, but have
difficulty scheduling time to
volunteer? The Delaware Opportunities Safe Against Violence Program (SAV) has the
perfect opportunity. SAV is
currently looking for individuals interested in volunteering.
All volunteers must complete an initial training of 30
hours that will be scheduled at
times convenient for you. After successful completion of
the training, SAV volunteers
answer the hotline from their
own homes at times that work
for them.
Why volunteer? To create
new interpersonal relationships; give someone else a
better chance in life; see the
world through someone else’s
eyes; set a positive example
and encourage others to follow; develop a new career
skill; or experience how good
it feels to help someone else.
Wherever inspiration to volunteer starts, let it lead you to
Safe Against Violence.
For more information, contact the Delaware Opportunities Safe Against Violence
Program at 746-6278 or toll
free at 1-866-457-7233.

7:30 p.m.
Every time they warn you
something is bad for you, they
turn around a few years later
and say they were wrong. This
just means you miss a lot of
fun (especially around holiday time), so I am especially
happy to tell you chocolate
is good for you. Dark chocolate is particularly effective in
the antioxidant sphere, raising HDL and lowering blood
pressure, so it is lucky for me
it is my favorite. And I’m just
going to have a piece. Unfortunately, while I was gone my
computer decided to make a
mess out of this paragraph,
so I may have to have another
piece of chocolate to bring my
blood pressure down again.
When I opened my fridge
there was a bottle of cold beer,
given me as a joke Christmas
present, and this too would
have been good for me, warding off heart trouble and diabetes, although the European
Journal of Epidemiology says
sternly “only one.” But as I
don’t like beer, I passed on
even that one.
AARP also recommends
three cups of coffee a day to
put off Alzheimer’s, a nap and
sex. So you sure can’t say they
never gave you any Christmas
presents.
We are by no means the
healthiest state in the nation,
coming in 18th, after Idaho,
so we obviously need more
stores to stock dark chocolate. Since 10 percent of candy
eaters prefer dark chocolate,
why not accommodate them?
And as for you milk chocolate
eaters, why not take a chance
once in a while? Better even
two dark chocolates than go
to the hospital. (Medical treatment is the third leading cause
of death in the U.S., after heart
disease and cancer.)
A while ago I mentioned
the presumed discovery of
the Higgs boson. I still can’t
explain it to you, but since it
is responsible for mass, without it presumably everything
would fly off into the void. Or
would it? What would happen
to gravity? Will it turn out you
can have gravity without mass?
It reminds me of the Buddhist
theory of space, which is emptiness but isn’t empty. I could
really use an explanation from
some ingenious high school
teacher.
I have firmly grasped the
concept of the Big Bang, particularly as a really funny TV
program, and can conceive of
all that is emerging from it, especially that we are all brethren and sistern and would that
we behaved accordingly, but I
cannot imagine emptiness that
is not empty. Or mass producers that can’t be seen.
Then my nose runs and everybody else has a nose, too,
and it’s pretty sure to be running these flu days, and I feel
steadier. Some things never do
change.

Did You Know??
Bacteria and viruses can live
about 20 minutes on your sleeve
or couch cushion. They can live
a couple of days on hard, nonporous surfaces, unless the surface
is copper, brass or bronze. Consider switching out your bathroom faucet handle for copper,
brass or bronze. That way every
time a pair of dirty hands uses
the handle to turn on the faucet,
the germs won’t stay there too
long. Wipe handles daily with
a disinfecting cleaner or disinfecting wipes to keep germs
away. This is one way to keep
the family from getting sick.

Sidney Seniors Learn the Value
In Giving Back to the Community
By Ariel Scott
SIDNEY – Mrs. DePauw’s
senior government class at the
Sidney High School wanted to
do a community service project. What they decided on
was a food drive for the Sidney Food Pantry. The seniors
said they really wanted to do
something to “give back to the
community.”
The students set a goal of
at least 500 cans of food. They
appealed to students in the elementary and middle schools
to help, giving presentations
telling the students about the
local need. The seniors had
five days to collect the cans of
food. They not only met their
goal but more than tripled it,
collecting 1,914 cans of food.
As a thank you to the
younger students who helped
with the drive, they offered to
play at recess with the elementary students and hold a pizza
party for the middle school
students.
The winning elementary
classes were Mrs. Ruple, Mrs.
Langstaff and Mrs. Haus.
Mrs. Tishmacher was the winning homeroom in the middle
school, earning the pizza
party. Four sheet pizzas were
graciously donated by Joe and
Vinny’s Pizza.
On Jan. 18 the senior students loaded up and delivered the donated cans of food
to the Sidney Food Pantry at
the United Methodist Church.
The students said they didn’t
realize that even though the
food bank is there and accepts donations, people don’t
think enough about donating.
Senior Ashlee Hulse said that
“helping people is a personal
pleasure for me.”
The students in the senior
government class learned the
importance and value in giving back to their local community. They should be commended for their hard work
and good deed.

by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
January 2013
The harvesting of ice for refrigeration is
something which has passed from the local
scene since I was young. Afton Lake was the
source of ice for many farmers and I can remember riding on a two-section horse drawn
sleigh to the lake to bring home ice to fill our ice
house which stood next to the milk house.
Before the days of electric refrigeration, every farm had an ice house. Some people, such
as my Uncle Mack McKee, cut their own ice
from the adjacent Susquehanna River. Other
farmers had ponds.
At Afton Lake, a large ice house stood beSleighloads of ice leaving Afton Lake to
tween the lake and what is now Route 7. A long
supply the ice houses of the day. Postcard
elevator carried the heavy blocks of ice up from
from Daisy Hurd Decker album.
the lake surface to the ice house. Horse labor
was used to score the ice for cutting. The Afton
Museum Barn has several tools that were important in the process. One was a horse-drawn scorer
with many sharp teeth used to cut deep, straight lines in the ice. Another tool was used to break the
ice along the scored lines. The scorer in the Museum was given by the Vail family, who at one time
lived on the Afton Lake property.
Once the lengths of ice were broken apart, they were sawed into blocks, which were then run up the
elevator to the ice house or loaded on sleighs to be taken home by farmers. The old Borden Creamery
was also a big purchaser, hiring many teams to fill its large ice house across the railroad tracks from
the McDowell Walker feed store.
Leland Pixley, of the Pixley Millon upper Spring Street, was the local ice man who delivered ice to
homes in Afton to supply the ice boxes, many of which were similar to the one in our museum barn. A
cardboard sign was hung in a front window to let him know that you needed ice that day. We also have
an ice pick advertising his services.
When I was young, it was my job to get the ice out of the ice house where it was packed in sawdust
within insulated walls. The cakes had to be hosed off to get rid of the sawdust. I had to put ice in the
milk cooler, the ice box on the front porch, and in the soft drink cooler in front of the gas station. Ice
tongs were used to carry the cakes broken to the right size.

Bainbridge Mayor Reports
On Actions Taken in Village
BAINBRIDGE – The Village of Bainbridge Board of
Trustees submitted a grant application to the Office of Community Renewal in the spring
of 2012. The grant would have
been used to rehabilitate single
family and multi-family homes
in the village.
Unfortunately, the village
was not chosen due to the fact
that “fund applications far exceeded the resources available
for 2012.”
Mayor Darling expresses
thanks to everyone who completed the surveys and took an
interest in the program. “The
village was encouraged to submit applications when future
funding becomes available.”
After a public hearing held
Jan. 15, the Bainbridge Village
Board of Trustees approved a
new law to eliminate parking
at all times on the East side
of Kirby St. from Greenlawn
Ave. north to Freiot Ave. Signage will be posted when it is
available and weather permits.
The village learned that
something good sometimes
can come from something bad.
After four long, grueling days
and nights, the DPW crew was
able to locate and repair a major leak in the village in early
January. Mayor Darling said
the men are to be commended
for their persistence and sacrifices to repair the leak as soon
as possible, with so little interruption of water service to as

Dean Veenhof’s 70th birthday included surprises arranged
by his family. Among the unexpected guests include former Rotary Exchange Student
Cathy Solli of Oslo, Norway
who stayed with the Veenhof’s
during the 1989-90 school year,
and daughter Kristi Levi of Nassau, Bahamas. Mieke and Gabby Swanson from Dillsburg,
Pa. and Meghan and Jay Garcia
from Hoboben, N.J. were also
here for the occasion.
Shirley Smith observed her
92nd birthday last Friday.
Prayers/Deaths
Geri Bailey, a former resident
of Copes Corners Rd., and now
of Norwich, is currently a patient at St. Joseph’s Hospital in
Syracuse.
Robert Hollenbeck, a 1961

Kim Foster and family of Hollidaysburg, Pa. were here for the

few residents as the process
would allow.
Also, the cooperation and
understanding by the residents
affected made the job easier
for the DPW crew, the village
clerk and the village board
members. WCDO radio was
extremely helpful in keeping
the citizens updated as to the
status of the problem. It is difficult to get the word out during such emergencies.
At the suggestion of a resident, the village trustees decided to create an “e-mail database” for any residents who
wish to participate, so that information can be disseminated
rapidly when such disasters or
emergencies occur. Anyone
wishing to be on that e-mailing
list should call the Bainbridge
Village Clerk at 967-7373. In
addition, the clerk is willing to
set up a “Facebook” account to
use to further get the word out,
and this has been authorized
by the village board members.

On the Road to
Super Bowl 2013
Probably lots of you were
watching the playoffs this past
Sunday hoping your team would
make it to the Super Bowl. My
husband watched the playoffs
while I was trying to get some
work done and kept interrupting
me to tell me the scores of the
game, so I gave up and decided
to catch the end of the New
England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens game with him.
His team lost the playoff and
now in two weeks, on Sunday
Feb. 3 we will again be sitting
on the edge of our chairs staying up watching the Baltimore
Ravens play the San Francisco
49ers. Go Teams Go!
Pancake Breakfast
On Saturday, Feb. 2 keep
your taste buds open for a great
buffet style breakfast at Masonville Federated Church from 7
to 10:30 a.m. If you have some
time, there is room for help,
contact Anne Warner at 2653577 for details.
School News
Good luck to all those students returning to colleges at assorted times when classes begin
again for the next semester. The
high school students are preparing for the regents exams that

luck to all students. The second
report card marking period ends
this week also, good luck students. The calendar says there
is no school on Monday Jan. 28

Sympathy is extended to
Leona Jump and family on the

Pierce of Walton. Sympathy is
also extended to Joyce Freyer

you all.

GUILFORD - As we begin a new year, we want to make you
aware of some changes being made in the Town of Guilford as well
as give you our contact information.
DOGS - We want to remind everyone who has a dog that is at
least four months of age that it is a law that you must license it. We
made a change with our dog licensing procedure effective January 1, 2013. You will now be able to license your dog for 1, 2, or 3
years (your choice). There will not be a discount if you license for
multiple years, but it will eliminate your need to renew the license

HARPURSVILLE - Binghamton University’s Southern
Tier Center on Aging is collaborating with community
agencies in Broome and Tioga
counties to provide arts-based
groups for families living
with dementia through the
Pathways Project. The groups
provide a venue for older persons with dementia and their
family members to engage in
the creation of expressive art
pieces.
Through the art-making
process, persons with dementia will enhance socialization,
engage in reminiscence and
be able to share their life experiences with others. Family
members will learn ways to
engage persons with dementia in meaningful activities
and stimulate aspects of brain
functioning.
An information and registration session will be held
at the Eastern Broome Senior Center, 27 Golden Lane,
Harpursville on Thursday,
Jan. 31 from 4-6:30 p.m. and
Friday, Feb. 1 from 12:301:30 p.m.
