SIDNEY - The newly reorganized Sidney EMS will hold
an open house on Saturday,
July 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
at the Sidney Fire Station, River St., Sidney. The open house
is being held to introduce the
public to the transformation
from a volunteer organization
to a 24 hour, seven day a week
staffed service.
Jason Gray, EMS Chief, said
the dwindling number of volunteers available to man the
squad had made it necessary
to go from using volunteers to
paid staff. Increased training
demands for squad members
and the number of volunteer
hours necessary to make the
agency viable influenced the
decision to change.
Several years ago a committee was set up to consider the
steps necessary to assure that
the needed medical response
service was available, something that was imperative as
the number of volunteer squad
members declined.
The new Sidney EMS has
20 full or part-time members
trained as EMTs or paramedics. The agency rents space
from the village in the fire station. No taxes are used to fund
the agency, instead fees for the
ambulance service are billed to
the respective carriers of those
utilizing the service.
The agency also uses grants
for such purposes as upgrading
equipment. Donations are also
welcome. They may be used
for training, special classes and
specialized equipment needs.
While the agency’s primary
coverage area is the Village
and Town of Sidney, Gray said
they would provide service to
other areas through mutual
aid. The service is also available for transferring patients
from one hospital to another.
At Saturday’s open house
the agency’s two ambulances
and other equipment will be
on display. Visitors may tour
the facility, and staff members
will be present to answer questions. There will also be hand-
outs and light refreshments.
Gray said there is an open
application for EMTs and paramedics. Anyone with questions
may contact him at 561-2316 or
e-mail, jgray@sidneyems.
It is important to note that
all calls for emergency service
still need to go to 911.
Gray said he encourages the
public to take advantage of this
opportunity to learn about the
agency, and offer their support
by attending the open house.
Sidney to Apply for Grant
To Update Swimming Pool
SIDNEY - For many years
the Sidney Municipal Swimming Pool off East Main St.
has been a favorite place for
kids, and adults too, to cool off
in the summer months. Even
more important, hundreds of
children have learned to swim
or improved their swimming
skills, all for free.
Each year swimming classes have been filled, and trained
young people have been hired
as lifeguards under the village’s recreational program.
Unfortunately, the many
years of use, dating back some
50 years, have taken a toll on
the condition of the pool. According to a study by Lamont
Engineering, the existing steel
pool liner is in poor condition
with numerous areas rusted
through, and no longer retain
water. The pool is served by
one main drain that is in poor
shape.
The pool, pump building
and bathhouse are connected
by an asphalt deck, which has
numerous cracks and is deteriorating. The pool bathhouse
also has numerous cracks and
will become unstable. Several
blocks are compromised or
missing. The building’s foundation is in question. The two
level pump and filter building
is in poor condition. Several
structural beams that support the building have rusted
through.
While the village maintained pool has undergone
many repairs over the years,
its deteriorating condition
has led the village to look at
major renovations and new
construction. With assistance
from Cindy Kaptan, assistant
grants administrator for the

Dr. Perry Berkowitz
Exemplary Leadership in
Education & Volunteerism
A lifetime educator, Perry
Berkowitz started teaching in
1965 after earning a BS degree
from SUNY/ Cortland. In 1972
he moved from the classroom
to administrative offices when
he became acting principal at
Charlton High School in Charlton, Mass., earning a Master’s
Degree in education leadership
from Harvard University at the
same time. Soon thereafter, he
earned a doctorate in education
leadership from the University
of Massachusetts. In 1975 he
became principal of Sidney
High School, and two years
later was promoted to assistant
superintendent of schools.
In 1984 he was named superintendent, a capacity in which
he served until 1991. John
Mirabito, who worked for Perry
in 1976, indicated that, “he not
only set an example of volunteerism through his community
activities, but also encouraged
me and many others to follow
his example. His enthusiasm
was contagious, his commitment steadfast, and anything he
was involved in was ultimately
successful.” Many remember
Perry for his eternal optimism
about the future of his students
and today’s youth in general.
While in Sidney, Perry was
very active in Rotary, serving as
co-founder and former chair of
the District 7170 Rotary Youth
leadership program -- still one
of the major youth programs
offered today. Perry was very
active in Rotary at both the
club and district levels and, as
District Governor in the 20032004 Rotary year, supervised
43 clubs and 2,000 Rotarians.
Perry also helped organize the
Sidney Community Band with
the support of the Chamber of
Commerce; he started Dollars
for Scholars in Sidney; and
served on the Tri-Town Theater
Board and acted in many of
their productions.
Perry left Sidney in 1991 to
become the superintendent of
Nyack Schools, and in 1996
became superintendent of the
Vestal School system, where he
served until 2001, when he retired from public education.
Dr. Berkowitz has remained
in the field of education, and
is currently Associate Professor of Education Leadership
and Administration at the College of Saint Rose, in Albany.
He also runs an organizational
development consulting firm,
PLB Consulting, with his wife,
Lonalee. Perry has been deeply
involved in numerous educational activities and organizations, and has served on several
state and national panels and
commissions. Most recently
he was chair for the National
Committee on Women in Administration, and a member of
the prestigious New York State
Blue Ribbon Panel on Education Leadership. He served on
the New York State Assessments Advisory Committee
for the School District Leader
Certificate Program, which
developed the New York State
School Building Leader and the
School District Leaders examinations, in use since 2007.
Perry’s credentials, accomplishments, and standing in the
field of education as well as his
personal character and community commitment mark this
man’s life and leadership in
community service.
Gary S. Cole ‘69
Excellence in Community
Service & Leadership
Gary S. Cole, SHS Class of
1969, has had a long and honored career in education, school
administration and public service. Gary is a graduate of
Orange County Community
College, Southern Connecticut
State University and achieved
his Master’s Degree at Indiana
University. Following his graduation he accepted a position at
Indiana Tech as head basketball
coach. Basketball would remain an integral part of his life
for more than three decades. In
1980 Gary was hired as a full
time Assistant Professor in
physical education at the State
University of New York at Delhi. He later served as director of
Admissions and Financial Aid
and then finished his career returning as an Assistant Professor. During his tenure at SUNY
Delhi, Coach Cole was responsible for bringing the prestigious National Junior College
Athletic Association (NJCAA)
Division III Men’s basketball
tournament to Delhi which was
the tournament’s home for the
first 20 years of its existence.
No small feat for such a small
college.
“Gary’s influence in the
NJCAA is significant,” said
Mary Ellen Leicht, executive
director. “His tenure as coach,
administrator and national representative has had a positive
and lasting impact on countless
individuals. As a testament to
his national contributions, Gary
was named recipient of the
2006 National NJCAA Service
Award. To this day, the Coach
of the Tournament Award for
the NJCAA Division III Men’s
Basketball Championship bears
his name.”

of SUNY Delhi, said of Gary

Cole, “His awards and accolades are many and they attest
to his commitment to SUNY
Delhi and our students. Gary’s
26-year career at our college is
a monument to his passion and
commitment to the students
he recruited, the students he
coached and the students he
taught in and out of the classroom. He will be remembered
at SUNY Delhi as a caring
mentor and a role model for his
students.”
Gary has also been involved
with many charitable efforts
over his many years in education. His love and passion was
always focused on the betterment of his students. Rosalie Higgins, Dean/Professor
Emeritus at SUNY Delhi and
the president of the Oneonta
Rotary Club, recalled Gary as
untiring and passionate. “He
earned the respect among his
students and his colleagues. He
always put the students and the
college first. He was encouraging, supportive and known as a
leader. His pursuit of excellence
in everything he undertook was
his hallmark.”
Longtime Sidney educator
and administrator Gary Scavo
summed up Gary Cole’s life and
career this way: “I’ve known
Gary Cole for more than 50
years. You simply cannot find
a better representative from the
Sidney Alumni to be awarded
this honor. He is a true “Sidney
Warrior” in every sense of the
word.”
Terrence M. Dermody ‘65
Exemplary Service to the
Alumni, Community and
School
Terry Dermody graduated
from Sidney High School in
1965 and continued his education at Saint Bonaventure
University, earning a Bachelor
of Arts degree. After college,
Terry entered the insurance
business as a customer service
representative for Reid & Carr
Inc., of New York City. In 1973,
he moved to Rollins, Burdick
& Hunter in New York, as Assistant Vice President/Personal
Lines Account Executive and
remained with the company
until 1984, rising to the position of Vice President, Manager
of the Property Casualty Unit.
In 1984 Terry joined ISU/Gervasio & Seeger of Hamilton,
N.J., as Vice President, Agency
Manager. From 1987 to 1995
Terry worked in New York City
managing and expanding major
property/casualty commercial
accounts, first at FJ Wilkes &
Co. (1987-88); next with KSH
Group (1988-1995); and then,
from 1995 to 1996, with the
Liner Insurance Company, as
Vice President and Director of
Insurance Operations. Beginning in 1996 until he retired
in 2013, he served as the Vice
President of Major Accounts for
NIP Group/Business & Governmental Insurance Agency
in Woodbridge, N.J., where he
was responsible for all agency
operations. Terry’s broad skills
in management and operations
as an insurance professional are
well documented. In addition to
his successful business career,
Terry Dermody has been one
of the driving forces behind the
Sidney Central School Alumni
Association (SCSAA), which
has become a model for other
alumni groups. His tireless efforts took an annual barbeque
and turned it into an entire
weekend of reunion activities.
He attracted talented and dedicated people to the organization, and developed a strong
board of directors. Under his
leadership an all-class reunion
weekend was created that now
includes a very successful golf
tournament, a march of the
classes, two social gatherings,
a memorial service and an allclass luncheon. One of Terry’s
pet projects was the sponsorship of the alumni scoreboard,
and the dedication of the athletic fields to the alumni.
The drive for SCSAA to have
a Sports Hall of Fame and a
Wall of Fame was initiated by
Terry Dermody. His vision of
service to school, community
and alumni has been achieved
with forward-looking planning that included the SCSAA’s
strong commitment to scholarships, the Veterans’ Memorial
Park, the alumni website, alumni directory and newsletter, the
alumni scoreboard and athletic
fields. It is not overstated to say
that for 14 years the irresistible
force of the Alumni Association was Terry Dermody. Yes,
many directors and volunteers
contributed in a large and continuous measure to the growth
and strength of SCSAA, but the
leadership that brought those
people, their talents and all
those ideas together was his.
Terry’s credentials and accomplishments are exemplary and
his leadership has impacted
and touched the lives of alumni,
community members, businesses, school administrators,
coaches, teachers and students
and resulted in a high school
alumni association that is a
model for thousands of other
communities.
Betty Graham Gilbert ‘50
Excellence in Business &
Community Leadership
Betty Gilbert graduated from
Sidney Senior High in 1950.
After earning her Associate in
Arts and Science degree from
SUNY Delhi and her Bachelor
of Science degree in management from Syracuse University,
she began a career at Bendix in
Sidney as a stenographer. Open
to every challenge and opportunity Betty moved up continuously from secretary to executive secretary to supervisor of
Engineering Records, to supervisor of Drafting, Checking and
Engineering Records. For the
last 10 years of her career Betty
Gilbert was the engineering
manager of Technical Services,
supervising 87 employees.
Ted Wilklow, former director of Engineering, said that

professional in every position
she held in the Engineering Department and her talents were
rewarded as she was frequently
promoted to positions with increased responsibilities, breaking the glass ceiling in business,
at a time when women in management were rare exceptions.
Betty served as a director of
United Way of Sidney for over
20 years during which time she
served also as president and
treasurer and campaign manager. She was responsible for
replacing door-to-door canvassing with a “mail- out letter” and
implemented the in-house campaign at both Bendix (Amphenol) and Keith Clark (ACCO).
She submitted letters of recommendations for local volunteers
to carry the Olympic Torch in
1984 and four were selected.
Believing that the unfolding history of the Bendix Corporation
should be preserved she wrote
several chapters and helped edit
the book about Bendix entitled
“The Spark in The Dark”. She
also worked tirelessly to develop the first museum at Bendix
called Bendix Memory Lane by
researching and planning the
layout of the new Amphenol
museum. Betty has been continuously involved with the Community Foundation of Unadilla,
Town & Country Garden Club,
Engineer’s Club and the Sidney
Hospital Guild and has held
leadership positions in each of
these organizations. Now in her
early 80s you may find her on a
bus trip, cruise or still at home
managing publicity and registration for the Annual Antique
Car Show, which she has served
for over 20 years.
Betty Gilbert - a pioneer for
women striving for career advancement in business as well
as a powerful force in giving
back to her community through
many and varied community
service activities.
Paul Hamilton, Sr. ‘55
Exemplary Community
Service & Leadership
Paul Hamilton, Sr. worked his
way up from “printer’s devil” to
publisher of his community’s
weekly newspaper. Paul started
working at the Record-Enterprise in Sidney, the forerunner
of the Tri-Town News, on a parttime basis while still in high
school. Following his graduation from the Sidney Central
School in 1955 he went to work
at the newspaper full time.
Paul worked with Ken Paden
at the Tri-Town News for several
years before forming a partnership with him to purchase Sidney Favorite Printing. The two
businesses became one corporation, with Paul serving as
president. During this time Paul
was also a very active member
of the Sidney Fire Department.
His volunteer service with the
fire department meant there
were days when he would come
to work with little or no sleep
because he had been at a fire
scene most of the night. However, Paul’s efforts in making
sure the newspaper served local
needs never waivered.
Paul’s 58 active years with
the fire department started
in 1957. He holds the highest
honor ever bestowed on a Sidney fireman, life membership
in both the Mac-Donald Hose
Company and the Sidney Fire
Department. He has held every office in the fire company,
including that of captain twice,
and worked his way up through
the ranks to fire chief. Paul has
also served as Fire Marshal and
Delaware Co. Fire Investigator
and has chaired numerous committees in both the company
and department.
Paul’s service to his community also included providing
leadership for the village’s recreation program. He would often
put on a mask and chest protector to umpire, making sure the
youngsters got to play baseball.
He loved playing softball and
basketball and bowling. Even
after Lyme disease slowed him
down he continued to play basketball with other fire department members. His interest in
the young people also included
his serving as Boy Scout leader
for many years, even after his
sons were no longer scouts. A
concern for the welfare of the
community influenced Paul to
first accept a position on the
Town of Sidney Planning Board
and then to serve as Town of
Sidney Councilman during an
especially difficult time when
the town board was dealing
with the closing of The Hospital. A concerned businessman,
Paul was also a member of the
Sidney Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors and served a
term as chamber president.
A debilitating stroke resulted
in Paul’s selling his interest in
the print shop and retiring in
2006. While he has had to curtail some of his activities, today
Paul is active at the Senior Meal
site at the Sidney Civic Center.
Always with the continued support of his wife, Patricia, Paul’s
interest in and concern for his
hometown remains rock solid.
Lewis Dale Whitney ‘53
Excellence in Community
Service & Leadership
Lewis Dale Whitney, although born in Bainbridge,
graduated from Sidney High
School in 1953. Following a
stint as a US Marine, he operated his own Barber Shop in
Bainbridge and worked in Bendix Corporation while attending
Broome County Community
College from which he graduated with a degree in Environmental Engineering. He then
was appointed Superintendent
of Public Works for Bainbridge
and a short time later, Senior
Environmental Specialist for
NYS Electric & Gas. Although
changing careers some 20 later
to real estate and appraisal, the
one constant in his life was his
love for his home town and
community service.
During his 20 year presidency of the Development Corporation, he led the establishment
and the development of the
Bainbridge Business Park and
Nature Walk. He was a member
of the founding committee of
the General Clinton Park and
General Chairman, Grounds
and Judging of the General
Clinton Canoe Regatta Committee, which he helped plan
and implement. In fact he took
a trial run down the Susquehanna from Cooperstown to Bainbridge prior to the first scheduled race.
Lewis Whitney was part of
the fund drive to construct the
village parking lot, chairman
of the Bainbridge “Will Do”
Committee, a joint committee
of village and town leaders to
develop a feasibility study for
the consolidation of services,
and chair of the Board of Assessment Review. He has served
Bainbridge as a member of the
fire department, Rotary Club,
Sportsman Club, treasurer
and trustee of the First Baptist
Church, treasurer of the Council of Churches and as second
vice chairman of the American
Legion.
Most appropriately, the road
in the Bainbridge Business Park
is named Whitney Way and
Lewis is a member of the General Clinton Canoe Regatta Hall
of Fame as well as the proud
holder of the title Bainbridge
2004 Citizen of the Year.
Lewis and Beverly Whitney have four daughters, eight
grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.

Enjoy a Mesmerizing Evening
Of Storytelling at FSC July 10, 11
FRANKLIN - FSC continues its 19th season theme
of celebrating the process of
making theatre. At 8 p.m. on
Friday, July 10 and Saturday,
July 11, FSC is thrilled to host
the award-winning writer,
performer and arts activist
Chris Wells and his “Stories
from the Secret City,” an hilarious and poignant evening
of storytelling and song about
the attempt to find meaning in
the everyday adventures - the
triumphs and failures - of one
who pursues a creative life.
Authoring his stories with
a live audience in mind, Wells
powerfully fuses the rigorous
and solitary craft of writing
with the effusive spontaneity of live performance. The
multi-talented and versatile
Wells is the founder of the
much lauded NYC/LA church
for the arts, The Secret City,
a revelatory vaudeville for
the soul. His original performances, often presented in
the cabaret idiom, use words
and music and direct address
to create intimate, transformative experiences for the
audience.
A believer in the art of
transformation and the transformative power of art, Wells
seeks meaning and connectedness in the very act of creativity. He is accompanied at FSC
by his long-time collaborator,
classically trained guitarist
Jeremy Bass who works as
a solo artist, bandleader and
theatre practitioner.
As always at FSC, admission is free (donations gratefully accepted) and reservations are recommended. Call
829-3700 or [email protected]. FSC is

FROM
N.Y. STATE SENATOR
JAMES L. SEWARD
Major Wins On Tax Relief
At the start of 2015, I detailed several priorities that
I would be concentrating on
during the legislative session. One of the top concerns
was property tax relief. I am
pleased to report several wins,
both during the closing days of
session and earlier in the year,
which will make a substantial
difference and provide real
help for New Yorkers.
One of the largest property
tax relief programs in state
history was approved at the
end of session. STAR-eligible homeowners throughout
the state will be eligible for
$3.1 billion in new property
tax rebates over the next four
years, starting in 2016. When
the new rebates are combined
with the existing tax freeze
check planned for next year, a
total of $900 million in property tax relief checks will be
sent – an average of approximately $350 per eligible homeowner statewide. In 20192020, this new tax relief will
be fully phased in and a total
of $1.3 billion will be issued
to taxpayers.
Speaking of STAR, it was
the senate that worked extremely hard to ensure that
nearly $3.4 billion would be
part of this year’s budget to
help fully fund STAR and
Enhanced STAR. These outstanding programs deliver
significant tax relief to millions of middle class families
and senior citizens each year.
Without the state funding,
property tax bills would spike
for those least able to afford
such an increase.
My senate colleagues and
I were also successful in extending the highly effective
property tax cap that has already saved taxpayers $7.6 billion over the past four years.
The cap had been set to expire
in 2016-2017 but will now be
extended to 2019-2020, bringing certainty to taxpayers and
businesses. While the tax cap
extension is a victory, I will
say that I would have rather
seen it made permanent and I
will continue the fight on that
front.
I also worked extremely
hard to increase education
funding – which helps keep
property taxes in check and,
just as importantly, ensures
our local schools have the resources need to offer students
a quality education.
A total of $23.5 billion
is earmarked for education
representing a $1.4 billion
increase from last year. The
new funding is an increase of
hundreds of millions of dollars above what the governor
proposed and will be fairly
and equitably distributed
throughout the state. A large
portion of the increase will
be used to make a dramatic
reduction in the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) which
has plagued local schools ever
since it was first enacted over
my objection in 2010. This
year’s budget reduces what
remains of the GEA cuts by
nearly 60 percent with an eye
toward full elimination next
year.
It is also important to note
that even with the education
funding increase, overall state
spending growth was below
two percent for a fifth consecutive year. Sound fiscal management from the state level
on down sends a message that
New York is committed to
economic policies that make
sense. That is a message that
helps spark economic development and job growth.
Along with keeping taxes
and state spending in check,
my Republican senate colleagues and I also served as a
firewall, blocking a wide array
of legislative proposals that
would have done real damage
to recent improvements to our
business climate.
New tax increases, heavyhanded regulations, and ample
hoops for business owners to
jump through were concocted
and put forward throughout the year. Stopping these
troublesome schemes is just as
important as advancing helpful initiatives.
While there is certainly still
work to be done, it is evident
that we are moving in the right
direction. A record high 7.8
million New Yorkers are now
at work in the private sector,
statewide unemployment is at
a nearly seven-year low, and
139,300 jobs have been created since this time last year.
These are winning statistics
and the newly adopted tax relief strategy will only add to
our success.

Student Loan Debt Relief
Provider Will Cease Operations
ALBANY – Gov. Andrew
M. Cuomo announced that
student loan debt relief provider Interactiv Education,
LLC (d/b/a Direct Student Aid,
Inc., “Direct Student Aid”) will
wind down and cease its operations nationwide after an investigation by his Administration’s Student Protection Unit.
The Unit, which is run by the
Department of Financial Services uncovered that the company engaged in misleading
and deceptive advertising, and
other improper practices.
Direct Student Aid advertised that it could “reduce” and
“lower” its customers’ monthly
student loan payments. Direct
Student Aid obtained this advertised relief merely by completing applications for Direct
Consolidation Loans from the
U.S. Department of Education,
which are already available
free of charge to consumers.
The Student Protection
Unit’s investigation found that
Direct Student Aid charged
more than 400 New York
consumers upfront fees ranging from $99 to $3,400 for its
advertised student debt relief
services in violation of state
and federal laws and regula-
tions. The Unit also found
that Direct Student Aid failed
to adequately disclose to prospective clients that they could
complete and submit the same
federal student loan consolidation paperwork themselves
through the U.S. Department
of Education free of charge if
they wished to do so.
Direct Student Aid also held
itself out as a credit services
business and advertised that it
could improve its clients’ credit
scores. During the period that
Direct Student Aid held itself
out as a credit services business, it received illegal upfront
fees from its New York customers and failed to provide
numerous notices and disclosures as required under state
and federal laws and regulations. The Department of Financial Services has accepted
a penalty of $10,000 from the
company under the condition
Direct Student Aid will permanently cease all student loan
debt relief and credit repair
services nationwide.
The investigation and settlement were handled by Student
Protection Unit Director Zoe
Rasmussen and Supervising
Counsel Brian Montgomery -
All crimes described in this
press release are allegations,
and suspects named are innocent until proven guilty in a
court of law.
Chenango County Sheriffs

New York State Police
July 6 - The New York
State Police at Oneonta arrested Edward M. Cuevas,
age 28, of Oneonta, regarding two separate incidents in
the Town of Morris and the
Town of Oneonta occurring
on July 5. Cuevas was charged
with one count of first degree
burglary, a Class B felony, and
two counts of endangering the
welfare of a child, a Class B
misdemeanor, after he unlawfully entered a residence in
the Town of Morris brandishing a handgun and threatened
the occupant, while two minor
children were present. The investigation revealed that a domestic incident had occurred
earlier that date in the Town
of Oneonta. As a result of the
domestic incident, Cuevas was
charged with the Class E felony of third degree criminal
mischief, and Class A misdemeanors of criminal obstruction of breathing or circulation, second degree unlawful
imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Cuevas was also charged in
the Town of Oneonta with the
Class B Felony of third degree
criminal possession of a controlled substance and the Class
B misdemeanor of fifth degree
criminal possession of marijuana. Cuevas was arraigned

Quote of the Week
The quote for this week
is from Sir Thomas Brown:
“Life is a pure flame, and we
live by an invisible sun within
us.” I would say that life itself
can be complicated and we
need to take every opportunity that comes before us and
we need to rise up like the sun
and take advantage of every
moment we have for we never
know what the future may
bring us.
On the Farm
We ended up with a few
good days this past week and
the fellas got in some chopping
to help fill the bunk more. The
rains came again and the bunk
was covered again to keep it
dryer. Harold mowed some
second cutting at the back of
the house and he said the mud
was really quite bad but he
chopped it anyway because
it had to be gotten from the
field. He said it made some really huge ruts in the field. The
new seedings are supposed to
be mowed and harvested but
it is so wet that there is standing water on them; let’s hope
we all have sunshine for our
farmers. What a bad year so
far and no one is getting anywhere. I spotted a calf across
the creek the other day and
it was following the mother
across the field rather fast.
When the fellas went to get
them in the afternoon, they
had quite a time, the calf was
quite wild and had to be held
down in the bucket and the
mother wanted to get away
from them, but they got her in
the barn after a bit of a chase.
There are more calves due
for the month of July and we
are keeping watch for them,
they seem to be hiding from
us. Keep all of our farmers in
your thoughts and we hope for
better weather so all can get
something accomplished.
Fourth of July
The weather again didn’t
cooperate for us for all the
festivities that people had
planned for the Fourth of July
this year. We all hope it didn’t
spoil anyone’s plans for family
gatherings. Some towns had
parades and some had fireworks and the weather cleared
up for these activities to happen. Happy Birthday America, the Land of the Free. We
thank all of our service men
and women who are serving
our country and are helping to
give us this freedom.
Bake and Basement Sale

Red Cross Seeks
Blood To Offset
Seasonal Decline
BINGHAMTON — The
American Red Cross urges
eligible donors to help offset a
seasonal decline in donations
and prevent a shortage this
summer by giving blood.
During June, July and August, there are about two
fewer donors than needed at
each Red Cross blood drive.
This can add up to more than
100,000 fewer donations during the summer. Many schools
that host blood drives are out
of session, and vacation schedules can make regular donors
less available – both contributing to the seasonal decline.
Donors of all blood types
– especially those with types
AB, O negative, A negative
and B negative – are needed to
help ensure blood products are
available to hospital patients
this summer. Type AB donors
have the universal plasma
type, which can be given to
patients of all blood types.
Plasma helps maintain blood
pressure and supplies critical
proteins for clotting immunity. It is often needed for burn,
trauma and cancer patients.
To make an appointment
to give blood, download the
Red Cross Blood Donor App,

Children’s Birthday Party
Children’s Birthday Parties
can be very expensive. Spending can get out of control for
children’s parties. What you
need to do is to help your
children understand that it is
not the size of the party but
rather just having fun with
their friends. So bigger is not
better and here are some ideas
how to have a great party,
keep expenses down and not
go broke.
For a birthday party you
might want balloons, streamers and signs. It is nice to
have these things at a birthday
party but the cost could add
up quickly. Sometimes the
children don’t even notice the
decorations so if you decide
not to decorate you probably
will save about $10-$15. However, if you want to decorate
go to your local dollar store
for balloons, streamers and
other things you will need for
the party.
Today a lot of parents plan
parties away from home and
they can be very costly. Plan
your party at your house. Plan
for the children to play two
or three games, have a birthday cake, open presents and
play together. Remember it
isn’t where you have the party
that matters it is the event that
does.
For the party you will need
plates and cups but they don’t
have to be fancy because the
children gobble up the cake,
swallow their drink and then it
goes immediately in the trash.
So why not just get white
plates and cups. If you want
colored items go to you dollar
store but remember you do get
fewer items per package than
you do with plain white.
Also for the party you will
need favors and hats. If you
do goodie bags use some inexpensive items such as stickers, lollipops or things that
are inexpensive. These items
can be picked up at your local
dollar store. If you decorated
with balloons you could give
the children the balloons as
party favors.
Make your own invitation
for the birthday party. Use
construction paper, crayons
and have your children help.
This will help keep the birthday cost down.

fun but expensive. Make your
child’s birthday cake using
fun icings, candles and candy
decorations. A homemade
birthday cake will cost a lot
less.
Even though you are giving
your child a birthday party
you will still have to buy your
daughter or son a birthday gift.
When picking out your child’s
present decide how much you
want to spend such as no more
than $25 or whatever you can
afford. This way you are not
spoiling your child.
Enjoy
your
children’s
birthday party when the time
comes and I am sure they will
have a great time.
If you have any money saving tips or ideas please e-mail
me at [email protected].

PET OF THE WEEK
DELAWARE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY
SIDNEY 563-7780
Romeo
Yes, you’ve met Romeo before in our ads, but he is absolutely worth running again.
As of July 1 Romeo has been
with us for a year. That’s such
a long time, and most of it
spent in a kennel. It seems like
an eternity to him.
This boy is neutered and
housebroken, and has proven
to us that he can get along
with other dogs. Romeo recently attended the Bark For
Life, and got along beautifully
with everyone there. Romeo
is playful and has energy and
will require exercise. Plenty
of room to play will be an asset. He is loved by all of our
dog walkers, and will give you
plenty of fun and enjoyment.
He will add so much to your
life. We so badly want to see
someone out there give him
the chance that he really does
deserve. He shows horribly in
his kennel, but once out of that
prison, he shows his true personality, which is happy, ready
to be your pal and to enjoy life
with you.
Meet Romeo at the Delaware Valley Humane Society,
101 East Main St., Sidney;
call, 563-7780; e-mail, dvhs@
frontiernet.net, or find us on
Petfinder and Facebook.

Historian Gerald Smith to Give
Program on Binghamton’s Past
DEPOSIT - The Deposit
Historical Society invites everyone to attend a program by
Gerald Smith, Broome County and Binghamton City Historian. The program will be
held at the museum located at
145 Second St. on Wednesday
July 15 at 7:30 p.m.
Smith will present “Baby
‘Broomer’ Memories: Growing Up in the 50s, 60s, and 70s
in Broome County.” If you
remember Mr. Peanut, Fowlers at Christmas, and Eastern
Europeans reminiscing about
coming here with one question, “Which way E.J?” you
were a part of that special
time. It was a period of rapid
growth with IBM employing
thousands of people, Endicott
Johnson’s production of shoes,
and prolific inventor Edwin A.
Link’s dream for the Broome
County Airport finally realized. Tom Cawley wrote eloquently of his Binghamton as
a columnist in the Binghamton Press. Gerald Smith will
share some of these memories
and more with a PowerPoint
presentation.
Smith holds several positions in Broome County and
the New York State level relating to his field, and he is an
author of several books relating to Broome County including “For Broome the Bells
Toll,” a history of Broome
County churches. He has coauthored with George Basler
“On the Seamy Side of the
Street: Colorful Characters
From Broome County’s History.” If you thought this area
was quiet, read this.
Refreshments will be served
following the program.
Mt. Upton Senior Citizens
To Meet Tuesday, July 14
MT. UPTON - The Mt. Upton Senior Citizens will meet
on Tuesday, July 14 at the
Rockdale Rod and Gun Club.
Bingo is on the agenda, and
members are asked to bring
wrapped presents for prizes.
Barb Bowker will be making the cake to celebrate Shirley DeMott’s birthday.
At the June 23 meeting
there were 19 members present. I’m sorry I misspelled
Cathrine Simmons name last
time in the newspaper article.
She won the 50/50 and donat-
ed it back to the club. Thank
you.
We played Bingo and everyone had fun. We also celebrated Pat Quirk’s birthday,
and wish her many more happy ones.
We were saddened to hear
of the passing of our honorary
member Laura Kiskbaugh.
She was a wonderful person
and will be missed.
Until we meet again, everyone remember to keep a smile
on your face.

Franklin Stage Company Hosts
Magical Puppet Company July 12
FRANKLIN - On Sunday, July 12 at 8 p.m., FSC
is delighted to welcome back
the Mettawee River Theater
Company with “Out of the
Past: Celebrating 40 years of
the Mettawee Journey.” Under the artistic direction of
multi award-winning mask
maker, designer and director
Ralph Lee, Mettawee creates
original theater productions
that incorporate masks, giant
figures, puppets and other visual elements with live music,
movement and text, drawing
on myths, legends and folklore of the world’s many cultures for its material.
Perfect for the whole family
and performed outside under
lights on the Franklin Central School Playing Field, this
production weaves together
scenes and songs from four
decades of Mettawee magic:
the world will be created on
the back of a turtle; the great
Irish sea god Mannanon will
declaim the tragic tale of Phaedra; and Grandmother Earth
will send Nanabozho off to get
the world ready for humans.
More characters appear
from classical playwrights
Brecht and Aristophanes and
20th century cartoonist Don
Marquis. Live music is performed by the multi-talented
Ed Rosenberg on alto and
bass saxophone, hammered
dulcimer, accordion and any
number of rattles, bells and
drums. A company of skilled
Mettawee veterans has come
together for this summer’s retrospective production.
Audiences are invited to
come picnic any time after 5
p.m. As always at FSC, admission is free (donations gratefully accepted). Reservations
THE SPENCER FAMILY will present a concert at the
First Baptist Church, 28 River St., Sidney Wednesday,

plains of Kansas will be performing their original songs
and acoustic folk arrangements. With a passion to make
much of Christ, the Spencer Family Band will delight

following the concert. There will be a free will offering.

First Green Thumb Award for 2015
Goes to Emily and Will Worsnopp
SIDNEY - Each year the
Hill and Valley Garden Club
of Sidney sends representatives during the late spring and
summer months to “unearth”
the latest and best gardens in
the area. Sometimes it takes
great sleuthing skills – a slow
“drive by” several times to get
a peak at a back yard, where
frequently might lurk another
hidden treasure just waiting to
be discovered. This year was
no exception; and thanks to a
tip by an informant, a member
of the garden club who will
remain anonymous, the two
sleuths for June were able to
solve the mystery. They have
finally made public that Emily and Will Worsnopp of 8
Sherman Ave. has won the
first Green Thumb Award for
2015.
The Worsnopps have lived
here for six years, and in that
time have done an amazing
job with all their surrounding
yards. The front yard will initially catch your eye with the
various shades of green plants
and the tall alliums standing
guard over the front walkway.
However, it is going around to
the back that one is immediately surprised with the size
and scope of their work – in
addition to the many garden
areas, they have created stone
walkways, rock sculptures,
and seating areas, including
a bench with woodcarvings
done by Will. The gardens
have a variety of flowers that
provide interest and color
throughout several seasons.
One of the most striking objects to catch our eyes was
what appeared to be a gigantic piece of driftwood with
a rock sculpture and small
plantings in and around. This
turned out to be the stump of
a large tree that had to be cut
down after the 2011 flood.
The Worsnopps discovered a
fascinating root structure and
decided to leave it in its natural state. Impressive is the
fact that all of the work has
been done by this couple in a
few short years.
The Hill and Valley Garden Club meets most months
on the third Wednesday at the
Sidney Library at 6:30 p.m. in
the Smart Community Room.
Throughout the year we have
a variety of informative programs, many by invited guest
gardeners from the area. If you
have an interest in gardening,
we invite you to join us. For
further information, you can
contact the club president,
Lorrie Roach at 563-2563.

GILBERTSVILLE CELEBRATED the 4th of July with a parade. In spite of the wet
weather, there was enthusiasm on the part of both the marchers and the parade watchers. Here the GMU High School Band provides music for the parade, led by the spirited
