MASSIVE WOODEN ARCHES from Unalam, with locations in Sidney and Unadilla, are
being shipped to Indiana. When assembled, the arches will be part of a fertilizer storage
building measuring 205 by 672 ft. The building will be so large that trains will load and
unload on rail lines running through it. Unalam is manufacturing 58 half arches in total.
Each half arch, measuring 10½ by 50 7/8 inches by 125 ft., is being shipped in pairs on
specially set-up trailer racks. Two shipments are leaving in a convoy on Tuesdays from
now until June. Pictured above is the truck carrying the arches as it turns from West
Road onto Rt. 8 to connect with I-88. The other photo shows the stacked half arches.

your life establishing a successful business and building

way to accomplish that and
pass on your legacy?

J.D. from Syracuse University

& Estates Practice Group and
focused her practice primarily
on trusts, estate planning and
administration, in addition
to elder law, municipal and
land use law and real estate
transactions.
She will speak to the group
about estate planning, with a
focus on small businesses and
business succession, including
powers of attorney and wills,
and will make sure to leave
time for questions.

Masonville Holds
Organizational
Meeting for 2015
MASONVILLE - The Town
of Masonville Board held
their organizational meeting
for 2015 on Jan. 7. The board
will hold their regular monthly
meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
in the Masonville Town Hall.
The following committees
were named: Insurance and
Legal - Betty Scott, chair and
Craig DuMond; Codes and
Ordinances - Steve Roff, chair
and Jeri Brayman; Highway
Committee - Craig DuMond,
chair and Betty Scott; and
Building and Grounds - Jeri
Brayman, chair and Steve
Roff.
Appointments included Julia VanSteenburg, animal control officer; Amanda Stimpson,
deputy town clerk; Pamela
Walker, registrar; Jeri Brayman, historian; Joe Reynolds,
code enforcement officer; and
James Cooros, health officer.
The Tri-Town News was
named the official newspaper
and the National Bank and
Trust of Norwich, including
the Bainbridge and Sidney
branches and the National
Bank of Delaware Co., Wal-
UNADILLA - The Village
of Unadilla has been awarded
two grants that Mayor David
Welch feels will help make the
business sector stronger and
support the revitalization of
the private sector.
A NY Main St. Technical
Assistance Program grant of
$20,000 will fund the hiring
of a consultant to write a grant
application for monies to upgrade individual commercial
buildings on Main St. This
grant program helps commercial property owners to do
such upgrades as storefronts,
and building improvements to
retail space, lighting and other
improvements to the property.
While it is for commercial
properties only, it could include apartment areas located
above the commercial stores.
To date Mayor Welch said
in the past 10 commercial
property owners have shown
an interest in the program,
which also requires a financial
obligation on the part of the
property owner.
‘This grant will help us
gather all the information we
need for a strong grant application,” said Welch, explaining that currently the village
has been working with Toma
Consultants out of Cortland on
a retainer basis but the request
for a consultant to apply for a
grant would still have to be put
out to bid.
“We want to hire a consultant to write the strongest grant
that would bring us the most
in grant monies,” said Welch.
“This could be as much as
$400,000.”
Welch added that they
would try to make the 2015
grant cycle, but even if they
were successful in 2015 they
probably would not see any
money before 2016.
Welch noted that because
the business district is divided
with residential housing between, it has created some
problems when applying for
grants. However, he feels that
the village will see positive
action in 2015.
“I think we are on the cusp
of slowly coming back to life,”
said Welch.
The mayor expressed optimism about the possibility of
the reopening of the former
Unadilla Diner and the Unadilla House in the spring.
He also spoke of the Bishop
property, which the village still
owns. He said previously a
dollar store showed an interest
in building on the property but
because the firm was taking too
long with the transaction, and
locally there was a negative
reaction to having the store
locate in the village the village
rescinded the sales contract.
Democrats To
Meet Jan. 26
In Unadilla
UNADILLA - The Village
of Unadilla Democrats will
meet Monday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m.
at the Unadilla Public Library.
The purpose of the meeting is
to nominate candidates to run
for the two, two-year trustee
seats on the Unadilla Village
Board in the March election.
Welch said the village has
been working with the Unadilla Chamber of Commerce
and the Otsego Co. IDA to
come up with a potential use
for the lot. He said the village is looking for a business
that would be welcomed and
would be a positive addition
to the business community.
This could be part of the Main
Street grant application.
The village also received a
$250,000 Revitalization Grant
to provide program delivery
and revitalization services
relative to funding housing
rehabilitation. This grant applies to the residential area of
the village only. A survey was
previously sent out by their
consultant, Toma to ascertain
homeowners’ needs including such areas as electrical
wiring, roofing, installation
of new windows, installation
of insulation and foundation
work.
The original proposal was
for 12 properties “but it may
be reduced to eight because
we received less money than
we proposed.” Those who
showed an interest previously will need to reapply. The
grant applies only to owner
occupied homes and there are
income requirements. While
the cost of improvements approved comes entirely from
grant monies, there are rules
on the sale of the property that
requires the payback of a portion of the grant if the property
is sold during a specific time.
The requirements and applica-
tion will be available in the
next couple of months.
A committee, representing
a cross section of the community including board members, business people and local
leaders, will be set up by the
village to establish priorities.
A point system based on the
degree and nature of the needs
will be used in determining the
successful applicants. A list of
certified contractors to carry
out the work will be provided.
Welch said that $25,000 of
the grant money will be used
to hire an administrator to help
carry out the program.
Mayor Welch is excited
with the potential these grants
bring to the village.
GOP Caucus
In Unadilla
Is January 22
UNADILLA - The Republican Caucus for the Village of
Unadilla will be held Thursday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in the
Unadilla Firehouse, 77 Clifton
St., Unadilla.
Candidates will be nominated to run in the March 18 village election. There are two,
two-year trustee seats open.
If you are a registered Republican and have an interest in running for an office or
would like to take part, please
attend this meeting.
Routine business will also
be conducted at this meeting.
Sidney to Study Berm/Floodwall
To Protect Against Flooding
SIDNEY - A positive vote
to study a berm/floodwall for
future flood protection that
took place at Monday night’s
meeting of the Sidney Village
Board represents the culmination of a long-term effort
aimed at protecting at least
portions of the village’s flood
zone from further flooding.
The village has been working toward the development
of a green plain and relocation
project through the NY Rising
program. This initiative could
run parallel with the NY Rising plan.
This study was included as
an item in the long-term village recovery plan and NY
Rising funding application
but was not funded in the
first round of funding. Because it was not funded, the
village board agreed to fund
the $30,000 study with local
monies.
The resolution passed by
the board authorized the mayor to sign a contract with Engineering Consultant CHA of
Albany to undertake a feasibility study that will evaluate
the use of a berm, possibly in
conjunction with a floodwall.
This would help protect the
northeast quadrant of the village from Main St. to Willow
St., the area east of Union St.
and the Industrial Park from
flooding.

BAINBRIDGE - ACCO
Brands made a generous contribution to the Bainbridge
Community Foundation to

Playground equipment for
William Payne Park has been
purchased and will be installed
in the spring. ACCO Brands
contribution, along with all

Grinch Strikes Afton
$100 Reward Offered
AFTON - The Grinch
struck Afton this year when
three painted figures from the
creche (manger scene) at St.
Ann’s Episcopal Church were
stolen.
These figures were Mary
and the Baby Jesus, the shepherd and a lamb. The figures
were cut out and painted by
two former parishioners, over
40 years ago and both of them
are now deceased. They have
no intrinsic value to anyone
but St. Ann’s Church for the
manger scene.
The church is offering a
$100 cash reward, no questions asked, for information
leading to the recovery of
these stolen figures. Here is a
picture of the complete manger scene, before the theft.
Agencies Help Families
Learn About Tax Credits
HAMDEN - The Delaware Opportunities Inc. Child
Care Resource & Referral
(CCR&R) program is working with the Early Care and
Learning Council’s outreach
campaign to ensure that low
and moderate income families
are aware of and claim available federal and state income
tax credits. Eligible families
could receive thousands of
dollars from federal and state
income tax credits. Federal
and state tax credits can help
offset the cost of child care and
other expenses for families.
For 2014, families in New
York may be eligible for a
number of federal tax credits
including:
• Up to $2100 from the
federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit and up
to $2310 from the New York
State Child and Dependent
Care Tax Credit;
• Up to $6143 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit
and up to $1843 from the New
York State Earned Income Tax
Credit;
• Up to $1000 per child
from the federal Child Care
Tax Credit and up to $300 per
child from the Empire State
Child Tax Credit;
• A premium Tax Credit to
help purchase health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
• To get help paying for
health insurance in 2015, a
Premium Tax Credit is available as soon as health insurance is accessed through the
Marketplace. Most people
need to sign up by February
2015. For more information,
log onto www.healthcare.gov
or call (800) 318-2596.
• If health insurance was
purchased through the Marketplace in 2014 and an advance
payment of the Premium Tax
Credit was received, a 2014
tax return must be filed.
These tax credits can help
families make ends meet, but
a tax return must be filed to
claim these credits. The Delaware Opportunities CCR&R
program aims to help more
families learn about the benefits of these credits so they
don’t miss out.
Families can call the IRS
toll free at (800) 906-9887
or log onto their website at
http://irs.treasury.gov/freetaxprep/ to find out where they
can get free help with filing
their taxes. Families can also
contact the New York State
Department of Taxation and
Finance at (518) 457-5171 or
AARP Tax-Aide toll free at
(888) AARP-NOW or (888)

Senator Libous: My
Priorities for 2015
On Wednesday, I was sworn
in to serve another term in the
State Senate and I’m ready to
get to work in Albany for the
people I represent.
Here are my priorities for
the new Legislative Session:
Mental Health and
Developmental Disability
Services
I’m still fighting for jobs
and services at both the Greater Binghamton Health Center
and the Broome Developmental Center. These facilities
and the services they provide
are vital to families in our
community. They need to be
protected.
Economic Growth and
Opportunity
We still need an authorized casino license for the
true Southern Tier. The NYS
Gaming Commission recently
agreed to consider granting a
fourth license for our region.
That’s encouraging news, and
I hope the Commission acts
swiftly in the coming weeks.
Our community deserves this
opportunity and we need the
jobs.
A new casino is a start, but
it isn’t enough. Our area is
hurting for growth and opportunity. We need more in-
centives to attract new businesses, jobs and careers to the
Southern Tier.
Binghamton University
The new BU School of
Pharmacy could be a catalyst
for new jobs and revitalization in Johnson City. I’ll work
with the Governor and my
colleagues in Albany to make
sure this project keeps moving
forward. The University is an
asset in our community and I
believe there’s more untapped
economic potential.
Budget and Taxes
We need to pass the State’s
fifth consecutive on-time budget. We need to stay under our
self-imposed 2% spending
cap and the Budget needs to
include no new taxes
I’d also like to accelerate
tax cuts so middle class taxpayers can get relief as quickly as possible.
Police Safety
The recent deaths of two
NYPD officers raised serious safety concerns for those
charged with keeping us safe.
Police officers have a difficult
and dangerous job to do; I’ll
keep working with our local
officials to provide the support and resources police need
to help protect themselves and
our community.
Pro-Lifers Urged to Take Part
In Right to Life March Jan. 22
NORWICH - Arrangements
have been made for pro-lifers
to take part in the 42nd Annual
March for Life in Washington,
D.C Thursday, Jan. 22. Since
the “Roe versus Wade” Supreme Court decision made by
nine men and women in 1973,
over 60 million abortions have
been performed in this country. Currently over one million
unborn children have their life
terminated in this country every year.
Arrangements have been
made for a bus trip to Washington, D.C. for the march that
will leave from Norwich at 11
p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 21
and return on Thursday, Jan.
22. All adults and students in
grades seven through 12 are
invited and encouraged to go
on this trip. Assistance will
be provided to help defray the
cost.
All reservations must be
made by Sunday, Jan. 18.
To arrange to go on the trip
or to make a donation toward this worthy cause, or
for more information contact Jim Reynolds with the
Knights of Columbus Council
in Norwich at 316-5731 or
[email protected] or
in Sidney, contact Gene Walsh
at 563-3400 or John Woodyshek at 563-1087. All are welcome; youth, adults, Catholics,
non-Catholics, parishioners
and non-parishioners.
Letters to the Editor are
appreciated. However,
because of space and
subject considerations we
are limited in the number
of letters we can publish.
All letters must be signed
and represent the opinion
of the letter writer and not
necessarily that of the
newspaper.
Do you remember?
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THESE PHOTOS? The photos were provided by Glenn Cutter
of Bainbridge. The above photo was identified as having something to do with the Afton
Fair, year unknown, however, the photo was developed in March of 1968. The photo

The new Sidney Fire Department Training and Conference Center is nearing
completion. The wiring and
plumbing work should be all
finished early this month. The
air conditioning and heating
ducts are all in place. Thanks
to John Payne, the 20-ton air
conditioner is in place on the

Paving and curbing the area
adjacent to the V.F.W. building, known as the Hillcrest

improvements for lots that are
unusually desirable.
As the year closed, village
men were busily engaged in
removing tree stumps for the
right of way for a new street in
the sub-division of the lands
of the former Campmeeting
grounds.
Final plans for a sewage
treatment plant were completed and filed and an application
made for State and Federal Aid
for the construction thereof.
An exceeding rainless summer proved the wisdom of the
village engineer and past village boards in providing for
wells in the vicinity of Riverside Park.
BAINBRIDGE
25 YEARS AGO
January 17, 1990
At the Jan. 8 meeting of the
Bainbridge Village Board, it
was explained that the Master Plan will include conducting a community survey with
the help of the planning and
development agency with or
without a student intern. The
Master Plan will involve a
layout of zoning for the community, encompassing the
economics as to what direction community development should take. According
to Trustee Prouty, spokesman for the project, things to
be included in the plan are
streetscaping and building façade work on Main St., village
park improvements, the new
recreation facility, and further
development at General Clinton Park.
A fire Sunday night damaged a four-unit apartment
house at 18 Pearl St. Bainbridge and left three families

UNADILLA
25 YEARS AGO
January 17, 1990
Bill Swart of Unadilla was
named “Owner of the Year”
Saturday night at the Five
Mile Point Speedway banquet
held at the Fountain Pavilion
in Johnson City. Bill Swart is
one of only two people left
from 1970 when the fourcylinder modifieds started to

was no better choice than
Swart.
UNADILLA
50 YEARS AGO
January 13, 1965
Postmaster General John A.
Gronouski announced that a

Everett B. Wells of 65 Pleasant St., Norwich, to build the
new post office in Unadilla
and lease it to the Post Office
Department. The new building, located on the west side
of Bridge St., approximately
I have been wondering if it
is wise to put “all of our eggs
in one basket” so to speak and
accept the concept that we
can improve our communities financially by investing
in the gas pipelines that carry
fracked gas. Will it give us the
long-term benefits we are hoping for, or are we investing in
a dying fossil fuel energy?
I believe these questions are
important to ask for the sake of
our families, our children and
grandchildren and for the land
and life we leave for them.
The Rockefeller family
knows how to handle money.
They made their wealth in oil.
Now the Rockefellers are divesting from fossil fuels. Why
would they do this? Why are
so many people divesting from
fossil fuels? Should we?
Fourteen years ago the oil
minister of Saudi Arabia, a
nation that controls enormous
portions of global reserves,
said in an interview: “Thirty
years from now there will be
a huge amount of oil, and no
buyers. Oil will be left in the
ground. The Stone Age came
to an end, not because we
had a lack of stones, and the
oil age will come to an end
not because we have a lack of
oil.”
It seems that Cabot Oil and
Gas Corp share prices are
down. What does this mean for
us locally? Will the company
make enough money drilling
to keep their company profits
high? We remember that once
people used Whale Oil for energy. That became obsolete.
Then we began using oil and
gas for energy about 150 years
ago. Is that becoming obsolete? I ask myself, “Is the gas
and oil industry the new whale
oil industry?” Are gas and oil
yesterday’s energy? If so, I believe we should be investing
in the clean renewable energies of tomorrow.
Let’s ask ourselves these
questions and find the best answers for our community.

$5,175 for the basic term.
Jan. 15, 1960 – On Jan.
13, 1960 the Unadilla and
Otego Central School boards
of education met to discuss
recent communications from
the State Education Department regarding the shortage
of physical facilities in both
districts. The boards resolved
to re-study the educational
advantages of a larger unit in
order to offer a more enriched
curriculum for pupils in both
districts. In the near future,
a group from the schools involved will meet in Albany to
prepare a six year cost study
based on the construction of a
senior high school. It currently
appears that considerable savings can be effected over the
study presented to the people
last year.

On the Farm
Things were quite quiet on
the farm this week until this
past Saturday night and Sunday morning. A calf was born
late Saturday evening and another one was getting ready to
freshen. Cliff waited up for a
while for her then decided to
get her into the barn where
the heifers were so she could
be o.k. When we got into the
barn to feed the calves Sunday
morning she had calved but
the calf didn’t make it. As the
day went on, another cow was
having difficulty having her
calf and the vet was called.
Before the vet could get here,
Cliff called me and said they
had gotten the calf. He asked
to call the vet and tell her that
he got the calf; well before I
could use the phone the vet
had arrived at the farm so she
checked her. It was discovered
that all the calcium gel was
used up so Harold and I took
a trip to Sidney to get some
more. We all hope things settle down soon and all the cows
and all of us can also. Keep
warm everyone, I know we
are keeping all the fires burning in our homes here on the
farm.
Miriam Palmer celebrated
her 84th birthday on Saturday,
Jan. 10 by attending dinner

“THE WAY WE WERE”
AFTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY
116 South Main Street
Afton, NY 13730
HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,120
by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
JANUARY 2015
The Afton Historical Society has a history dating
back for several decades. The Historical Rooms
were located on the second floor of the old Village
Hall, a former hotel. The display area was upstairs
over the Afton Hose Company room, which later
became the Afton Free Library.
In 1982 the Town of Afton celebrated its 125th
anniversary. Part of the celebration was the dedication of the McNayer House as the official home
of the Afton Historical Collection. It was to be
called the Isabelle House after noted Afton resident, Isabelle Jennings. She died on May 19, 1964
and her collection of dolls, miniature elephants, The McNayer House, next to Horton
and other items had been left to the Historical Hardware, was once the home of the
Rooms. They still grace the shelves of the display Isabelle House Association Museum.
cabinets in the Afton Museum.

The use of the McNayer House was granted by Museum.
Charles Gaydorus of Horton Hardware. It had at
one time been a tourist home owned by the McNayers. Their small sign is now in the window of the
Afton museum. The house was being refurbished with paint and period wallpaper by volunteer labor. A
photo of that time shows a flax wheel, a large spinning wheel, chairs, several baskets, and a cupboard
containing Isabelle’s collection of miniature elephants.
On July 9, 1982, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the Isabelle House to celebrate the opening.
Afton Mayor Marjorie Mudge and Town Supervisor Glenn Swart presided at the dedication. Others
participating were Charles Decker, Town Historian; Charles Gaydorus, owner of the building; and
the officers of the Isabelle House Association. They included Lynnette Baciuska, President; Mildred
Scott, Vice President; Toni Weller, Treasurer; Thelma Brown, Secretary; and Pat Stafford, Museum
Director.
A few years later, the Horton Hardware building was expanded onto the Isabelle House site and
Charles Gaydorus had the building razed. Artifacts were placed in storage until the present Afton
Museum House was acquired. Recently, several active members have been refurbishing the rooms
and re-arranging exhibits. It is now very attractive and informative about Afton’s history. It is open
Saturdays from Memorial Day to Labor Day or by appointment.
An historical society is very important for preserving and presenting history.

NEWS
FROM
N.Y. STATE SENATOR
JAMES L. SEWARD
Winter Weather Advisory
A Column of News & Comment by Senator James L.
Seward
Here in upstate New York
we pride ourselves on our ability to battle (and overcome)
winter weather. When we
turn on the television and see
news reports showing people
in a southern state struggling
with a rare snow storm, most
of us chuckle
a bit.
Even
with
our
well-honed
skills
at
the ready,
a quick refresher on
a few lifesaving tips and available resources is always beneficial.
The New York State Office
of Emergency Management
is a one stop shop for winter
safety advice. The site, www.
semo.state.ny.us, is filled with
useful information like the
difference between a winter
storm warning, watch and advisory; steps to winterize your
home, techniques to clear
snow from your roof, and how
to protect your water pipes
from freezing.
The site also offers some
important winter driving tips
and what to do if you are
trapped on the road during a
blizzard:
• Stay in your car and wait
for help to find you;
• Run your engine for short
periods of time to stay
warm. Keep your downwind window open and
make sure your exhaust
pipe is clear of snow;
• Turn on the dome light at
night when you are running the engine to signal
rescuers;
• Hang a brightly colored
piece of cloth or piece of
clothing from your car;
• Exercise from time to
time by vigorously moving arms, legs, fingers and
toes to keep blood circulating and to keep warm.
New Yorkers can also access a pair of excellent safety
tools from home or on the go.
The state Department of
Transportation maintains the
511 New York system which
includes a free mobile device application that provides
New Yorkers with up-to-theminute information regarding
traffic, transit and emergency
service notifications as well as
weather advisories. Information can be found on-line at
www.511ny.org.
Additionally, the New York
State Emergency Management Office operates the NY
Alert website which contains
critical
emergency-related
information including severe
weather warnings, significant
highway closures, hazardous
materials spills, and many
other emergency conditions.
Additionally you will find information regarding response
actions being taken by local
and state agencies and protective actions that you should
take to protect you, your family and your property. Warnings and emergency information can also be sent directly
to your cell phone, email and
other technologies. For more
information, and to sign up
for alerts, check the website,
www.nyalert.gov.
One other
specific
cold weather concern
is a power
outage.
Heavy
snow can
drop tree
limbs
on
power lines, knocking out service for hours or even days.
Ice storms can also wreak
havoc. With that in mind, here
are several suggestions from
the New York State Public
Service Commission to help
ensure health and safety if you
fall victim to a lengthy, unexpected power outage:
• Stay warm by dressing
in layers and minimizing
your time outdoors;
• Know the mental and physical signs of hypothermia
(shivering,
drowsiness)
and how to treat it (wrap
the person in warm clothing, move the individual to
a warm location and seek
medical attention);
• Hang blankets over windows and doorways to insulate your home;
• If you have a working
fireplace, use it for heat
or light, but be sure to
keep the damper open for
ventilation;
• Open your faucets to a
steady drip so pipes don’t
freeze;
• Stay nourished. Food provides needed energy and
drinking helps you avoid
dehydration;
• Never use a charcoal grill
inside or a gas stove for
heat as they give off potentially harmful levels of
carbon monoxide;
• If using a generator, place
it outside for proper ventilation. Turn off the main
electric breaker before
using the generator to
prevent electricity from
traveling to otherwise deenergized electrical lines
outside your house and
possibly injuring repair
crews;
• Check on neighbors with
special needs.
By keeping all of these
thoughts in mind you can stay
safe throughout the winter
season.

SYRACUSE – Sidney’s
Austin
Dean,
Unatego’s
Tanner
Winchester
and
Harpursville/Afton’s Devon
Dean, all seniors, were all
named to first-team status
on the New York State
Sportswriters Association’s
2014 high school football allstate teams.
Austin Dean anchored
Sidney’s offensive line and
was named to the first-team
Class C offense. This follows
his first-team defense selection
last year and an honorable
mention pick as a sophomore.
Devon Dean, the doeverything
player
for
Harpursville/Afton,
was
named first-team Class C’s
punter.
Winchester was named a
Class D first-team offensive
end after catching 39 passes
for 919 yards and rushed 45
times for 605 yards, both team
highs. He also led the Spartans
with 18 touchdowns, helping
his club to a second straight
trip to the Section IV Class
D championship game where
they fell again to Tioga.
A pair of Winchester’s
teammates were named to the
second team in Class D.
Junior Josh Feyerabend
was named to the offense
as quarterback after earning
honorable mention a year
ago. Feyerabend triggered
Unatego’s
high-powered
offense by completing 108 of
195 passes for 2,014 yards and
27 touchdowns. With 4,325
yards passing for his career,
Feyerabend, barring injury,
is a shoo-in to break Section
IV’s passing mark of 4,574
yards, set in 1999 by Windsor
Aaron Klumpp.
Senior Ryan Marszal was
named to the second-team
defense as a defensive back,
adding to his impressive
athletic resume at Unatego,
where he looks to return to the
state wrestling tournament for
a third straight year with hopes

A happy and healthy New
Year to all our readers. Do you
re-use items that you have in
your household to save money? Here are some ways to reuse household items.
Plastic Ice Cream
Containers
A lot of ice cream companies
put their ice cream in buckets.
They can be very handy as
they can be used outdoors and
they can be perfect for storing
rock salt. These buckets can
be also be used for packing
food for a camping trip. Put
an individual portion of ice in
each one then add your food
and stack in your cooler.
Deli Meat Containers
I use deli meat containers
for leftovers. The companies
who makes Healthy One Deli
Meat and also Oscar Mayer
provides a good container for
leftovers. These containers are
the right size for a meal-size
portion of food for lunch. On
occasions my daughter Bobbie
will use one of these containers to take her lunch to work.
These containers can also be
used for art supplies such as
crayons.
Plastic Grocery Bags
Plastic grocery bags can be
used to line bathroom or bedroom wastebaskets. They can
be used as padding for mailing
a package. I use plastic bag for
wrapping delicate Christmas
decorations that will be stored
away.
Old Sheets
If you have old sheets with
a hole or a tear in them, don’t
throw them out. Old sheets
can be used for drop cloths
when you are painting. They
can also be used as furniture
covers to protect your furniture when you are moving.
Old sheets are great to use at
the beach to sit on. Use them
to cover your outside plants to
protect from frost. I am sure
you can think of other ways to
use old sheets.
Old Socks
Don’t throw out any holey
socks. I use old socks for dusting and cleaning rags. After
I use them I will throw them
out. It is better than using pa-
