SIDNEY - Since 1988 the
third Sunday in July has been
reserved for Alumni of Sidney Central School in Sidney.
The All Class Reunion Luncheon was a mainstay in the
community for many years.
In 1998, Bob Chantler, Tom
Rettberg, Karen Cycon Dermody and Terry Dermody got
together with Sally Provenzon
and “Peachy” Reynolds with
the purpose of expanding the
celebration.
By 1999 Alumni Weekend
in the three day format was
established. The Sidney Central School Alumni Association was created and Alumni
Weekend was on its way to
the successful and much anticipated activity it is today. It
is indeed the “place to be.”
The SCSAA’s Alumni Reunion Committee, headed by
Jess Woodyshek Wheeler, ‘91,
and Sean and Amber Wilson
Fogerty,‘93, have announced
the schedule of events for this
year’s Alumni Weekend.
Be in Sidney on Thursday,
July 18 and you will more than
likely find alumni already in
town to play golf or to just see
who is around. Thursday evening has been the unofficial
beginning to Alumni Weekend
for some time.
On Friday morning, July
19, the Annual Alumni Golf
Tournament will take place
at the Sidney Golf and Country Club. Participants must be
pre-registered. A barbecue for
players and guests will be held
after the tournament.
On Friday at 8 p.m. the first
icebreaker/social will be held
at the Charles L. Jacobi Post
of the American Legion in
Sidney. The band Brotherhood
will entertain us all evening.
The cover charge is $5.
Saturday morning, July 20,
join friends new and old for a
pancake breakfast at the VFW
in Sidney. Breakfast is served
from 8-11 a.m. for $6.50.
At 10:30 a.m. there will be
an Alumni Soccer
Match at Keith
Clark Park. The
Annual March
of the Classes will take
place at the
park during the
half time of the
match. Line up
is at 11:15 a.m. The
hosts of the March
will be the Class of 1963 who
are celebrating their 50th Reunion this year. Remember
you don’t need a crowd to
march - whether you are one
or ten, put your marching
shoes on and join in.
There will be a chicken
barbecue at the Keith Clark
Pavilion from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
with $6 for a half and $9 for
whole chickens.
From 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, you are invited to tour
the high school on W. Main
Street. Whether you graduated
in 1945 or 2012, you’ll want
to see this building and the
changes that have taken place.
You can also tour the Sidney
Historical Association’s museum from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday. It is located in room 218
in the Civic Center.
Saturday evening many
anniversary classes will hold
their class dinners at area venues. If you don’t have a dinner to attend, you will want
to take advantage of the great
eateries in Sidney and the Sidney area.
The second social of the
weekend will be held Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Elks
Lodge on River Street. Entertainment will be provided by
The Fab 570, which includes alumnus Paul
Davie, ‘83. There
will be a $5 cover charge.
The
final day of
the three day
weekend begins
with a Memorial
Service at the Ed
Roelle Nature Trail
at 10:30 a.m. During this service we take a moment to remember classmates who have
passed away. It is a lovely way
to begin the last day of the
weekend.
At 11 a.m. an All Class Reunion Luncheon begins with a
social hour. The Wall of Fame
for Distinguished Alumni and
Faculty Induction Ceremony
will take place at the Fireman’s
Training Center beginning at
11:45 a.m. Pre-registration is
suggested. Luncheon fee is
$15.50.
You can register online at

SCSAA, PO 2186, Sidney,

Much time and effort were
put into the project. The first
phase of the project consisted
of Ethan gathering donated
materials from Jess F. Howes

Builders Supply in Sidney.
Next Ethan and his grandfather, Robert Green, spent multiple hours over the next few
weekends cutting the boards to

Fundraising Underway for New
Playground at Afton School
AFTON - The children of
Afton Elementary School are
dreaming of a new playground.
A safe and fun place for all
students, children of the community and their families to
gather and play is the goal. The
PTO and the staff at Afton Elementary School have formed
a committee to raise funds for
a new playground. Their goal is
to build a playground that will
not only serve our students, but
will be inclusive to children of
all ages and serve as a community playground outside of regular school hours. “We believe
it is important to enhance the
lives of our children through
healthy play. Let’s work together to make that playground
dream a reality for our students,
children and families of Afton.
We need your financial support
to make it happen.”
The group has been working
very hard for over five months
to bring a brand new playground
to Afton Elementary School.
They have met with several
playground equipment representatives and have approved
a design that will be inclusive
for children of all ages. Total
cost would be $70,000, which
includes installation of the new
equipment and the new wood
carpet fiber under the equipment. Their goal is to have the
play set in place for the students
before the start of school in the
fall of 2013. “We realize this is
an aggressive goal, but one we
are committed to achieve!”
Fundraising activities already held include swim-athon, raised $2,512.65; pennies for playground, raised
$300.70; Boxtop challenge,
raised $1231.10 (which will
continue to accumulate as students bring in boxtops); and the
PTO matched boxtop funds for
$1,000. They also held a 5K run
that raised $1,610. The group
has applied for grants and are in
the process of applying for several more. So far, we’ve raised
$15,000.
Letters have been mailed to
community members to ask for
donations from the public. Donations can be mailed to Afton
Central School c/o Playground
committee, P.O. box 5, Afton,
NY 13730. Please make your
check payable to “Afton PTO
Playground Fund.”
“This
fundraiser, along with several
others we have held and future planned fundraisers, will
hopefully help us to meet our
financial goal. Any monetary
support you can give would be
greatly appreciated.”
Please consider making this
important investment in our
children’s future. A playground
provides a safe and challenging
place for children and our community to grow. If you have any
questions, fundraising ideas or
would like to volunteer, please
feel free to call Karen Ludwig
or Deanna Lawrence at 6398234 or e-mail dlawrence@
aftoncsd.org. or [email protected].

25 YEARS AGO

In a formal appeal to NYS
Education
Commissioner
Sobol, six concerned residents and parents from the
Bainbridge-Guilford Central
School District contend that
the recent action of the District’s Board of Education “
was hastily drawn up without
appropriate consideration of
our children and without the
informed consent of taxpayers and parents” said the B-G
Residents United for Quality Community Education in
their recent press release. At
the June 16 board meeting,
the group presented a petition
signed by almost 600 Bainbridge and Guilford residents
and delivered a series of comprehensive recommendations
to the school district that did
not require the untested movement of nearly 300 children to
solve a space crunch caused in
part by the start of a new developmental program.
Merger study results involving the Bainbridge-Guilford

Sigh. Here we are, after the
passing of a wonderfully talented woman, prolific writer,
fine mother, wise counselor,
and spiritual seeker. As her
daughter, less intelligent, less
experienced, I cannot hope to
replace her. But I can hope to
entertain you on occasion, or
drop, from time to time, a useful hint.
Why pick up “A Cheerful
Prospect”? I suppose because
I have always loved this little
corner of the Alleghany Plateau (as we were taught in
earth science class to call it),
a pleasant backwater hidden
behind the Catskills. Good
people, solid old houses, hills
and streams and little meadows. Once I asked my parents
what the Shire in Tolkien’s
books looked like and they replied, “Why, just like the land
around Greene, more or less.”
Frankly, all I asked of life
when I was a teen, when most
of my classmates couldn’t
wait to leave, was to live, paint
and write and grow old in this
place. However, God had
other plans, and I have now
spent twice as many years
away from my hometown as I
did growing up there. Such are
the “changes and chances of
this mortal life.” But I haven’t
stopped loving the land or
the villages or the churches
which provided me such a rich
childhood.
I was 6 when my father
first came to this area, having just bought the Chenango
American. He had some very
metropolitan ideas about what
a newspaper was and what it
is supposed to do. Later on,
when recounting to us children his missteps in learning
what the people of this area
themselves thought were the
services a newspaper ought
to perform, he told us, “The
purpose of a small town newspaper is to reflect back to the
people of the community their
best selves so that they can become even better.”
This was a profound growth
that took place in him, from
the thirst for a “scoop” and
the arrogant desire to “change
the world” to recognizing that
muckraking and playing up
“sensational news” was not
always that helpful, that sometimes the Girl Scouts painting
trash barrels with green and
white designs, or the bowling
scores, or a picture of someone’s prize 4-H heifer, or a
silly hat tea party, was more
important, more wholesome
and more valuable to ordinary
human brings than the details
of the latest political scandal.
So, following the philosophy of both my parents, I hope
that I will be able to reflect on
and celebrate what is best in
all of us and be of some small
comfort in a difficult time and
a very confused world. Let me
know how I’m doing on Facebook, if you wish, where I
also post “Clarifications of the
Day,” defending and explaining ways of thinking which
are often dismissed today as
old-fashioned or worse.
If you will pray for me, I
will pray for you.

luck to all farmers as they try to
make hay when the sun shines.

NORWICH - The County
of Chenango IDA (CCIDA)
was notified that the Federal
Economic Development Administration has approved a
$4,718,017 award for the Revitalization of the Chenango
County Rail System. The
Federal investment represents
80% of the $5.897 million cost
to completely revitalize the
Utica Main Rail Line from the
Chenango County line near
Greene through Earlville.
The federal funding through
the FY 2012 Disaster Relief
Opportunity leverages an
award CCIDA received in the
fall of 2011 from the NYS Department of Transportation, in
the amount of $770,422. In
addition, local sources will invest a total of $408,070.
Steve Craig, executive director of the CCIDA said,
“We are excited about this opportunity to reestablish freight
rail service to the main population centers of Chenango
County after an absence of
service for nearly seven years.
County of Chenango IDA will
be working with local partners, New York Susquehanna
and Western Railway, NYS
DOT and our rail consultants
in the coming days and weeks
to move this project forward.
We are eager to put this vital
piece of infrastructure to work
strengthening the economy of
Chenango County.”
According to the Federal
Notice of Investment Award
statement, the restoration of
the rail system will resume access to freight and industrial
transportation to businesses
throughout Chenango County.
Overall, the improvements are
expected to help create job
opportunities and attract new
businesses to the area, and help
make the rail system more resilient to future disasters.
“We have been working on
the restoration of freight rail
infrastructure in Chenango
County since 2006,” stated
Jennifer Tavares, director of
Economic Development. “Our
entire economic development
team, and particularly Rebecca
Sands—who coordinated the
Federal EDA application—invested significant time in this
project over the last several
years, and we are extremely
pleased with the outcome.”
“We would like to thank
the many elected officials
and program partners who
pushed for the restoration of
this key transportation link,
and in particular, would like
to recognize US Senators
Chuck Schumer and Kirsten
Gillibrand, and Congressman
Richard Hanna for their work
on behalf of Chenango County,” said Craig.
According to Tavares, the
County of Chenango IDA
Board of Directors will hold
a special meeting in the near
future to discuss the funding
award and determine the next
steps for the project, which
would be conducted in cooperation with NYS&W Railway, for the long term maintenance and operation of the
Utica Main Rail Line.

by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
JUNE 2013
Among the most numerous of my possessions which I must
down-size are my collections of books. Every room but three in my
ten-room house has at least one bookcase or range of shelves.
One downstairs bedroom has bookshelves on two walls. I built
them many years ago along with two closets at the other end of the
room. In the bedroom above it are also bookshelves on two walls.
They are old, stackable, walnut shelves which reach to the ceiling. I
bought them from a Bookmobile lady in Otsego County.
This week I have been sorting books in my large attic in preparation for a visit by a book dealer. There, on shelves and in many
boxes, are books which I do not remember having. One has the
title “A Primer of Book Collecting” by John T. Winterich and David
Randall, 1966, third revised edition. Two others are “Gold in Your
Attic” and “More Gold in Your Attic” by Van Allen Bradley. I do not
remember reading any of the three, but I certainly did collect thousands of books. I hope that I can turn some of them into gold. The
Van Allen books both contain cards with the date June 16, 1972,
showing that I loaned them to Bookmobile patrons.
Two long metal bookshelves in the attic were tight against each
other so that I could not see what was on the back shelf. I had to Title page of a book on
take all of the books off from the front shelf so that I could move it book collecting. From
to a different spot. Then I had to remove those on the back shelf collection of Charles
also as they all had to be vacuumed. The roof had been replaced Decker.
a few years ago and dirt from the shingles, nails, and normal dust
had to be removed.
There was a great variety of subject material. Many were religious books, including quite a few old
hymnals. Some had to do with my being on the Session of the Presbyterian Church. There were quite
a few oversize picture books on American history and the history of countries which I visited in Europe
in the 1960s. There were also textbooks on languages such as German, Italian and Spanish.
I know that book dealers are very selective so that I will have many leftovers, some of which I will
donate to book sales.

Daisy Troop Helps Provide
Funds for School Playground
SIDNEY - Sidney’s Daisy
Troop #30046 has a membership of 13 kindergarteners. This
was their first year selling Girl
Scout cookies and their troop
made a goal to sell 120 boxes
of cookies. In the end, the troop
sold 1,182 boxes of cookies!
The girls decided to “pay it
forward” and donate $450 to
purchase playground equipment for the Sidney Elemen-
tary School. Dr. William
Christensen, superintendent at
Sidney Central School, loved
the idea so much that the school
matched their amount and allowed the girls to purchase
$1,000 in playground equipment for grades PreK-2.
The girls really enjoyed
making this donation and many
children will benefit from the
new equipment.

SIDNEY - While it may be
“no more books” for many now
that school is out for the summer, National Spelling Bee
contestant Molly Youngs, looks
forward to some relaxed summer reading.
Youngs, who enters her
freshmen year at Sidney Central School in September, won
the Daily Star 2013 Regional
spelling bee March 2 at SUNY
Oneonta. March, April and
most of May were spent taking
computerized vocabulary tests
as well as spelling the out loud,
old-fashioned way to her mom.
On May 29, during Round
Two of the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee held at the
Gaylord National
Resort
and Convention
Center in National
Harbor, Md., near
Washington, DC,
Molly met her
match with the
Russian word
“apparatchik.”
Omitting the
“t” left her out
of the running
for final rounds,
but “free” to enjoy
watching from the audience
with her parents, Josh and Sheri
Youngs, an aunt and paternal
grandparents. They laughed
over words like “smellfungus”
and marveled at some of the
words from other languages.
“I thought I had a lot of
practice for the regional competition,” Molly explains, “but
when I got to the Nationals, I
realized that I didn’t have that
much. Most of them were still
studying throughout the week
in the bee. It was rather nervewracking, but I enjoyed learning different words and making
friends.
“The new word surprised
me, but I asked for the origin
and definition before making
my guess. It was the last year
that I could qualify, so I was
determined, even after I was
eliminated, to make the most of
the experience by enjoying the
sights as well as the food. Every
place that we ate the food was
delicious!”
Now, Molly, who has always
been an avid reader, looks forward to “devouring” a few
books, particularly some in
her favorite genre, dystopian
fiction.
“She was an early reader
at three,” says Molly’s mom,
Sheri. “I had hoped to pass on
some of my classics, but she’s
more into futuristic and fantasy
works. Reading has helped her
with vocabulary, but since this
is the first year that she made it
past the regional bees, I wanted
to make sure that she kept practicing the old-fashioned way
where you have to spell out
loud. It’s easy to correct yourself with computerized vocabulary tests, but in the actual bees,
you can’t take it back once you
misspeak. That’s what caught
her up in the first two regional
competitions she qualified for.
“You need the practice spelling out loud as well as speaking
clearly. She takes piano, but really Molly’s always been on the
shy side. This has been a good
learning experience for
her, a boost for her
confidence.
Before this,
she never
would have
agreed to be
a reader at
church. ”
Confessing
that she is a
former English
major who was
“put to shame” by
some of these 8 to 14
year old spellers and the
words they mastered, Sheri adds
that she learned a lot as well.
Though excited about leaving middle school and entering
ninth grade where she’ll have
electives like band and Project
Lead the Way, Molly recommends the bee for 6th, 7th and 8th
graders as “the experience of a
lifetime.”
‘Every year they give a test
at school that qualifies you for
the regional bee. It was great
learning new vocabulary and
meeting lots of people. Most
definitely, it was a confidence
builder.”
Many thanks go out to ACCO
Brands, Amphenol, Chobani,
Casella Waste Systems, The
Daily Star, SUNY Oneonta and
SUNY Oneonta Science Discovery Center for sponsoring
the trip to Washington.
A CELEBRATION of Pastor Susan’s three years with
the congregation at the Sidney United Methodist Church
was held following her last sermon on Sunday, June 16.
Members of the church and friends held a brunch in her
honor and presented her with several gifts, taking the
opportunity to wish her and Brian well as they return
to Rev. Heafield’s home conference of New England.

much has changed here since
the Inn, begun in 1897, was
started, to replace the original
Gilbert homestead, destroyed
by a devastating fire in 1895.
Having 55 rooms, the Inn is
an imposing structure, and has
hosted many a wedding, prom,
and parties for all occasions.
The Inn can be rented, with all

Chenango Co. Recycles
4,000 Pounds of Plastic
NORWICH - By working with the Recycling Agricultural Plastics Project this
season Chenango County has
successfully recycled 4,000
pounds of plastic which would
have otherwise been sent to the
landfill. Since February RAPP
and CCE has been encouraging farms that wish to participate to put
into action the
best management practices
for farms. In the
county there are
currently only
10 farms actively participating
in the program.
It is often difficult for farms to
store the plastic
bale wraps and
hold on to them
until RAPP’s portable baler
can come to the area and justify baling. However, as more
farms participate and correctly
prepare their plastics for recycling the baler will be able to
reach the county more often.
The Big Foot Baler, which
was seen at Chenango County’s Dairy Day, is able to make
a 1,000 pound bale of plastic
bale wrap in about a half hour
under ideal conditions. On
Monday, June 17 the baler
went mobile and visited three
additional farms that worked
together with other local farms
to create bales at their sites.
The idea is to create bales
which are fairly clean, dry and
approximately 1,000 pounds
with the dimensions of about
a 3 1/2 foot cube. The bales
would then be stored on the
farm until they are transported
to a recycling facility where they
are made into sidewalk pavers, plastic plywood or oil.
RAPP is just
gaining momentum and would
love to see more
farms participate.
With over 30,000
pounds of plastic
being
delivered
into the county for
agricultural purposes it is great to see some
of it recycled. RAPP can help
recycle feed bags, bunker
cover, boat wrap, bale wrap,
and many other agricultural
plastics.
If you are interested in
participating in the program
or want to learn more please
contact Emily Jane Anderson
at Chenango County CCE.

education while at the same
time providing lifesaving services to their communities,” said
FASNY President James Burns.
“Our HELP program has been
an integral tool in recruiting and
retaining new members. This
new partnership will make our
program even more robust.”
“By including Empire State
College in the HELP program,
FASNY has dramatically expanded access for volunteer
firefighters to earn an associate
degree online,” said Meg Benke, acting president of Empire
State College. “Special thanks
go to Jim Burns and his team
at FASNY, college alumnus
and former volunteer firefighter
Richard Wishnie, Empire State
College Professor Jim Savitt and the college’s Office of
Academic Affairs for their hard
work in making this arrangement possible.”
Launched in 2011, FASNY
established the HELP program to
assist volunteer fire departments
in attracting and retaining more
members. Under FASNY HELP,
a student/volunteer firefighter
who hasn’t already achieved an
associate’s degree or higher will
be eligible to have up to 100%
of his/her tuition reimbursed in
exchange for maintaining good
grades and fulfilling service requirements as a member in good
standing in one of New York’s
volunteer fire companies.
The program covers courses
at all 29 SUNY community colleges throughout the state and
has seen hundreds of students
receive tuition reimbursement.
FASNY HELP is made possible
through a Staffing for Adequate
Fire and Emergency Response
(SAFER) grant awarded by the
U.S. Department of Homeland
Security. More information and
an online application form are
available here.
Founded in 1872, the
Firemen’s Association of the
State of New York represents
the interests of the more than
92,000 volunteer firefighters
and emergency medical personnel in New York State. For more

Mary was nominated by

letter stated that, “as volunteer coordinator I try to have
a good understanding of the
limits of our volunteers, and
assign them patients according
to those limits. I have yet to
find Mary’s limits.” Mary has
taken any and all tasks asked
of her including sitting respite,
sitting vigil, telephoning a patient before bed to calm her,
and helping a patient clean her
house as she prepared to move
into a nursing home. She participates in many fundraising
events, and attends every patient/family in-service offered
to further her understanding
of the role of a Hospice Volunteer. Everyone at Hospice
of Chenango County is so
proud that Mary’s dedication
to those at the end of life have
been recognized by the New
York State Association.
If you would like to explore
the possibility of becoming a

or a community relations volunteer, classes are available
to get you up and running.

Local Students Walk
Miles Toward Health
COOPERSTOWN – The
Division of Cardiac Surgery
at Bassett Medical Center is
delighted to announce the
winners of the UpClose Cardiac Surgery program’s inaugural Go Red Challenge held
in January and February of
this year. This event, run in
conjunction with the American Heart Association (AHA)
and New York Central Mutual Insurance Company, was
conducted in recognition of
the AHA’s national Go Red
for Women Day, which is designed to increase awareness
of heart disease in women.
The UpClose Cardiac Surgery program at Bassett educates over 1,000 area seventh
graders each year on the benefits of heart-healthy living.
Students attended three-hour
sessions at Bassett Medical
Center, during which they
learned about the benefits of
exercise and a heart-healthy
diet along with the dangers of
cigarette smoking. This year,
students from several schools,
including
Gilbertsville-Mt.
Upton, were offered the
chance to compete in the Go
Red Challenge. Participating
students received two pedometers, one for them and one for
their mother or female guardian. Using the pedometers,
they kept track of the number
of steps they walked over a
seven-day period. The win-
ning team from each school
received a $50 gift certificate
to a local sporting goods store,
and mountain bikes were
awarded to the student and
the mother/guardian with the
highest point total.
Gilbertsville-Mt.
Upton
Central School had a winning team of Mickenson and
Thonda Clune, along with
the school with the highest
total number of steps, a total
of 1,215 miles combining all
participants at that school.

Matthew Robinson’s Team
Wins 1st Place in Basketball
GUILFORD – Matthew
Robinson of Guilford, a recent BOCES graduate from
Bainbridge-Guilford, along
with his Broome-Tioga BOCES teammates, won 1st place
in Division I level basketball
at the University of Buffalo.
There were seven divisions
and 28 basketball teams competing for top honors.
Nearly 1,800 athletes and
coaches participated in the
Special Olympics New York
2013 State Summer Games at
the University of Buffalo June
14-16. The event showcases
the talents of Special Olympics athletes from throughout
the state and witnesses their
accomplishments in summer
sports.
Throughout the spring,
Special Olympics New York
athletes trained and competed
at the local and regional level.
On Friday, June 14, their hard
work was rewarded when the
1,800 athletes and coaches arrived in Buffalo for the 2013
State Summer Games, the
largest competition held annually in New York.
The weekend kicked off
Friday evening with the signature opening ceremonies
at the University of Buffalo’s
Alumni Arena. The Parade
of Athletes was followed by
an exciting program that included entertainment and the
completion of the Law Enforcement Torch Run and ceremonial lighting of the Cauldron that signified the start of
the games.
Saturday, June 15 featured
a full day of competition in
aquatics, basketball, bowling,
gymnastics, powerlifting, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Closing ceremonies and
the Victory Dance concluded
the Saturday events, with departure on Sunday, June 16.
Meals and housing were provided at the University of Buffalo for all athletes and their
coaches.
Enjoy Free Fishing In
NY State June 29-30
As part of Governor Cuomo’s NY’s Open for Hunting
and Fishing initiative, New
York residents and visitors
may fish for free without a
fishing license in any of the
state’s 7,500 lakes and ponds
or 50,000 miles of rivers and
streams during the weekend of
June 29-30, state Department
of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner
Joe Martens announced today. Saltwater anglers may
also fish in marine waters or
for migratory marine fish species without enrolling in the
Recreational Marine Fishing
Registry.
To further encourage fishing
in New York State, Governor
Cuomo signed legislation last
year expanding the opportunity for free fishing clinics,
allowing more New Yorkers to
experience fishing for the first
time by enabling DEC to increase the number of free clinics that can be held throughout
the state. The Free Fishing
Days program began in 1991
to allow all people the opportunity to sample the incredible
fishing New York State has to
offer. New York’s sport fishing
industry generates an estimated $1.8 billion in economic
activity annually, supporting
nearly 17,000 jobs.
For a listing of free fishing
events, refer to the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/27123.html. The public
is advised to check back regularly as new events are regularly added to the list.
Anglers are reminded that
although a fishing license is
not required during the free
fishing day weekend, all other
fishing regulations remain in
effect.

Sidney Legion Edges Montrose
MONTROSE, PA – Sidney
scored three times in the top of
the seventh inning then held on
for a come-from-behind, 5-4
District Six American Legion
baseball victory at Montrose,
Pa. last Wednesday (June 19).
Down 3-2 entering the
seventh, Billy Kozak led off
with a single for Sidney. He
then stole second and went
to third on a bad throw from
the catcher. He then scored
the tying run on Jon Wingate’s
RBI single.
Wingate also stole second
and scored the go-ahead run
on Quinn Barnhart’s single.
After advancing on a passed
ball, Barnhart scored the
much-needed insurance run
on Dylan VanPelt’s single.
Montrose’s Nick Myers had
an RBI single in the bottom of
the seventh, but Dan Shelton
came on and picked up a save
by inducing a groundout and
strikeout to end the game.
Kozak and Wingate finished
with two hits apiece and Josh
Feyerband picked up the
victory for Sidney, scattering
seven hit over 6 1/3 innings,
striking out nine and walking
three.

Endicott runs in the bottom of
the fifth. The hosts then scored
two more runs in the sixth.
Shelton struck out five and
walked one in a route-going
performance.

“Wear It” Campaign Stresses
Importance of Boating Safety
WASHINGTON,
D.C.
– This July 4th holiday, thousands of people will enjoy
boating. But, with approximately 500 people drowning
each year from recreational
boating accidents, the North
American Safe Boating Campaign [http://www.safeboatingcampaign.com/] reminds
boaters of the importance of
boating safety during this
high-boating traffic holiday.
“For some people, July 4th
celebrations may be the only
time they get on a boat the
entire summer,” said Virgil
Chambers, executive director
of the National Safe Boating
Council, a lead organization
for the campaign. “Whether
you’re an experienced or new
boater, always boat responsibly and wear a life jacket.”
The campaign – simply
known as “Wear It!” – encourages boaters to take the Boating Safety Pledge before July
4th. The pledge allows boaters to share with others their
dedication to boating safety
and wearing a life jacket every time they are on the water. Boaters can sign and share
the pledge via Facebook and
Twitter by visiting http://
www.safeboatingcampaign.
com/camp-pledge.htm.
State Firemen’s Assn. Reminds
Public that Fireworks are Illegal
With Independence Day
right around the corner, it’s
important to keep safety a top
priority during the upcoming holiday celebrations. The
Firemen’s Association of the
State of New York (FASNY)
reminds residents that fireworks are illegal to own or use
by anyone other than licensed
professionals in New York
State. FASNY also urges families to learn more about the
harm that fireworks can cause
to people and property.
“Leave the fireworks to
the professionals and attend
a locally-sponsored display
in your neighborhood,” said
FASNY President Jim Burns.
“Attending public fireworks
displays is the safest way to
celebrate the Fourth of July.”
According to the National
Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), thousands of people
are injured while using consumer fireworks every July
4th holiday. The risk of fireworks injury is two-and-ahalf times as high for children
ages 10–14 as for the general
population.
It’s also important to note
that even sparklers can be very
dangerous. The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of
more than 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to
cause third-degree burns.
Always make sure to follow
these safety tips:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The safest and best way to
avoid injury is to view fireworks displays by trained
professionals.
Obey and respect any and
all public safety barriers
set up around the site of
a professional fireworks
show.
Resist the temptation to
get close to the firing site.
Often, the best view of
a professional display is
from a quarter of a mile or
more away.
Leave your pets at home
- the loud noise can scare
animals and damage their
hearing.
Do not possess or shoot
off fireworks on your own.
Besides risking injury to
yourself and the crowd
watching the demonstration, you will be breaking
the law.
Do not pick up or attempt
to re-light used fireworks
– they may still be active
and cause serious burns or
injury.

TRI-TOWN’S OWN
STIMULUS PLAN
BY JOAN DICHIARA
How To Keep Your House
Cool
Since it is now summer
and this week we are going to
have extremely hot weather,
I thought it would be a good
idea to give our readers some
tips on how to keep you and
your house cool.
Turn your air conditioning
down to low if you are leaving your house. Don’t turn the
air conditioner entirely off because it will cost more to cool
your house down when you
return home. The hotter the
house the harder the AC will
have to work to keep everything cool.
Don’t use your oven for
long periods of time because
this will increase the temperature in your house then your
air conditioner will have to
work twice as hard to cool
your house down. Instead
of cooking indoor consider
barbecuing.
Switch your regular light
bulbs to florescent light bulbs.
Florescent bulbs use less energy and it will keep your electric bill lower. Also florescent
bulbs do not give off a lot of
heat.
Have your air conditioner
cleaned every year by a qualified company who cleans air
conditioners. Your heating
company that you use for
cleaning your furnace or boiler will be able to clean your
air conditioner. Also remember to change your AC filter
monthly. When an AC filter is
dirty it will make your air conditioner use more energy and
work harder.
Another way to keep your
Baby Contest
Will Be Held
At Otsego Fair
MORRIS-A Baby Contest
will be held on Wednesday,
July 31 at the Otsego County
Fair, Morris. The contest begins at 1 p.m. in the Grange
Building with registration/

be held from Tuesday, July 30
through Sunday, Aug. 4.

house cool is to use ceiling
fans, which I use. Ceiling fans
use less energy.
Cover your windows during
the day to keep the sunlight
out as it takes less energy to
use indoor lighting than using
an air conditioner.
If you have an older air conditioner, probably over 10-15
years old, consider trading
it for a more energy efficient
model.
Try limiting the use of appliances that generate heat
such as the oven, dishwasher
and clothes dryer during the
time when temperatures are
the hottest. If you have to use
these appliances try using
them in the evening when it is
cooler.
Use a fan as it gives a breeze
in the room and makes it feel
a few degrees cooler. Fans
will cool people not the room.
Remember to shut off the fan
when leaving your home.
Also a quick shower will
make you feel cooler. It is
cheaper to use water than air
conditioning.
Most towns have a public
pool to go swimming. Usually
there is not a charge to use the
pool. What a nice way to stay
cool and maybe meet some
of your friends or neighbors
there.
Remember to drink plenty
of water when it is extremely
hot.
If you have any money saving tips or ideas please email
me at [email protected].
Till next time have a great
week.

Delaware Co. Sheriff Tom Mills
Introduces New Smartphone App
DELHI - Delaware County
Sheriff Thomas Mills announced that his office has
launched a Smartphone app
that allows the office to communicate much more effectively with the community. The
Delaware County Sheriff’s Office app is a free download and
is available for both iPhone and
Android smart devices. Users
simply search “MobilePatrol”
and after downloading, select
the sheriff’s office.
Users of the app will have
access to real-time detention
center information with mug
shots, charges and offender information. The app is fully integrated with VINE® (Victim
Information and Notification
Everyday), which allows crime
victims to be notified about the
custody status of their offender.
The app also includes warrants,
lists of non-custodial parents
and most-wanted criminals,
news, the facility location, the
sheriff’s office directory and
much more.
“The most beneficial and
significant feature of this app
is that it lets us get important
information right to people’s
fingertips,” said Sheriff Mills.
“The app greatly improves
our ability to serve the public,
and that’s what we’re here for.
We’re thrilled that we can provide this to the community.”
Information that can be
pushed right to a user’s Smartphone includes Amber Alerts
(including photos of missing
persons), news about escapees and manhunts, weather
warnings and other local
emergencies.
“We know that more and
more people are getting the information they need from their
Smartphones,” said Sheriff
Mills. “We want to make sure
we’re using the latest communication technology to keep the
public informed, and this app
lets us do that.”

FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
Sex & Marriage in a Broken World
By Pastor Brian Cutting, Unatego Community Church
We live in a world of increasing fractures and brokenness
within families. Many have abandoned the commitment of a
marriage relationship through divorce, or simply bypassing it
by living together. This lack of commitment sets families up for
deep pain and failure. In the process it is often children who are
hurt the most as separated couples compete for their affections
or fight to possess them at the expense of their Ex. Children need
a stable home life with a mom and a dad in order to have the best
conditions for them to thrive. But in our broken society they are
caught in the middle of all this confusion. Sometimes things get
downright ugly as hatred and jealousy and worse occur. I make
these observations as a pastor and as an observer of society, but
if you don’t care for my viewpoint, the studies and statistics will
tell you the same.
God is the creator of marriage. He created Adam & Eve and
married them together in the Garden of Eden. He set out the
law of marriage: “For this reason a man will leave his father
and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one
flesh” (Genesis 2:24). To be married is to become like one person rather than two: socially, financially, relationally, and spiritually. It doesn’t mean that you lose all of your individuality and
freedom but you are agreeing to willingly give some of it up for
the sake of committing yourself to your spouse. Many people
think that the Bible and Christians are opposed to sex. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Read Song of Solomon (and
study what it means because often our English translation tone
down the erotic language) and you will discover that the Bible
is not a book for the prudish. God created our sexuality and it is
very powerful. We are free within marriage to enjoy incredible
intimacy with our spouse and to celebrate that.
God has designed sexuality to be like a covenant glue that
helps you renew regularly the vows and love you expressed
on your wedding day. God intends that the amount of physical interaction between a man and woman should correspond
to the level of commitment that they have for one another. Sexual interaction is reserved for the highest commitment level of
marriage. Our culture scoffs at this but there is great freedom
and peace in doing things according to God’s design. So many
people are treating sexuality just like they approach food: eating
whatever and whenever you want. But God has designed it to
be far more powerful and significant. It is like glue that holds
people together and so it is not to be entered into by people
who haven’t committed themselves to one another. Otherwise,
one of two things occurs: you will have great pain when the
relationship is torn asunder and/or you will have so many of
these relationships that you will eventually be unable to commit
yourself to anyone. Sex will become an empty pursuit of bigger
thrills that will gradually become less and less fulfilling. Sex is
God’s gift to us. But like a birthday or Christmas present found
and unwrapped prematurely, it is a gift that is best enjoyed in the
right time and context. At the altar when couple commit themselves to one another for life. When they promise before God
and others: “…for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,
till death do us part” they are creating the conditions for the best
enjoyment of sex. They are creating the security that husbands
and wives need to get through the difficult times in marriage.
They are creating a home where children can thrive and feel
secure, rather than feeling lost, or pulled in tug-of-war between
competing parents. Marriages are difficult because it puts two
sinful people together and asks them to put the other person first.
I don’t believe any of us can do very well at this simply by trying harder to be less selfish (though that would help). I think we
need the heart change that only Jesus Christ and the Gospel can
bring about. Though our culture scoffs and runs the other way,
God’s design is best.
