Sales & Service. According to state police, the company’s 2004 International flatbed tow truck Cuozzo was driving collided with Bellevue Lumber Company’s 2000 Freightliner truck being operated by Codey Lambrecht, 21, of Sidney Center. The troopers’ initial investigation indicated that Cuozzo rounded a curve, drifted into the oncoming lane and struck the lumber truck head-on. Both vehicles came to rest in a ditch and the tow truck’s cab caught fire. The Sidney Fire Department extinguished the fire. The accident took place just south of the Sidney Golf and Country Club near the intersection of Delaware Co. Rte. 4 and Wood Road. Troopers said Cuozzo was declared dead at the scene by Delaware County Coroner Dr. Richard Ucci. On Tuesday, State Police said the autopsy results were pending. Lambrecht suffered a head injury and was transported to Wilson Hospital in Johnson City. His injury was not life threatening, troopers said. The investigation is ongoing by the state police and their accident reconstruction unit.

Police Arrest Six Locals On Drug Dealing Charges SIDNEY - Six Sidney area residents were arrested on drug trafficking charges Friday evening by members of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, Sidney Village Police Department and the New York State Police. All were remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility without bail. The arrests are the culmination of a five-month-long narcotics investigation conducted by members of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division and Village of Sidney Police Department with the assistance of the Delaware County Probation Department and following the execution of a search warrant on County Highway 23 in the Town of Sidney. On Friday afternoon Delaware County Sheriff’s Investigators obtained sealed grand jury indictment warrants for five individuals following a narcotics investigation that focused on the sales of heroin, cocaine and prescription controlled substances by a number of individuals in the Village and Town of Sidney between June and October of this year. Upon arriving at the Gabriel Bonacci residence located on County Highway 23 in the Town of Sidney, investigators arrested Gabriel V. Bonacci, 43, on a sealed indictment warrant charging him with two counts of third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance (heroin), each a class B felony. Investigators also arrested 27year-old Rene L. Hurlburt, of Unadilla, on a sealed indictment warrant charging her with third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance (cocaine), each a class B felony. Sheriff’s Investigators also arrested Gabriel Bonacci’s mother, Donna M. Bonacci, 64, of Sidney, and charged her with third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (with intent to sell), a class B felony. Donna Bonacci is accused of possessing a box containing a scale and a variety of controlled substances packaged for sale, including cocaine, heroin, hundreds of prescription drugs and marijuana. She was arrested while attempting to flee the resi- dence with those substances. As a result of the arrests, investigators obtained and executed a search warrant at the Gabriel Bonacci residence that led to the seizure of more than $6,500 cash, over 400 ounces of .999 pure silver bars valued in excess of $7,000, a realistic, blank firing replica handgun and fireworks. Gabriel Bonacci, who was previously convicted of third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance in April 1998, is accused of selling heroin in the Town of Sidney on two occasions during July of this year. Rene Hurlburt is accused of selling cocaine in the Village of Sidney on three occasions during June of this year. Also arrested on sealed indictment warrants Friday evening were: Belinda Davis, 53, Sidney. Davis is charged with three counts of third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, each a class B felony. She is accused of selling oxycodone in the Village of Sidney on three occasions during the month of July. Randal L. Babcock, Jr., 32, of Sidney. Babcock is charged with fifth degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. He is accused of selling xanax in the Village of Sidney in July of this year. Chad D. Walters, 34, of Mount Upton. Walters is charged with third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class B felony. He is accused of selling oxycodone in the Village of Sidney in July of this year. Donna Bonacci was arraigned in the Town of Sidney Court before the Honorable Steven Rose and was remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility without bail pending further court action. Gabriel Bonacci was arraigned in Delaware County Court on Monday before the Honorable Carl F. Becker and was remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility without bail pending further court action. Chad Walters was arraigned in Delaware County Court on Monday before the Honorable Carl F. Becker and was remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 cash bail pending further court action. Rene Hurlburt was arraigned in Delaware County Court on Monday before the Honorable Carl F. Becker and was remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility in lieu of $15,000 cash bail pending further court action. Belinda Davis was arraigned in Delaware County Court on Monday before the Honorable Carl F. Becker and was remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility in lieu of $10,000 cash bail pending further court action. Randal Babcock, Jr., was arraigned in Delaware County Court on Monday before the Honorable Carl F. Becker and was remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility in lieu of $7,5000 cash bail pending further court action. Sheriff’s Investigators anticipate an additional arrest and felony drug charges will be forthcoming in the very near future relating to the Friday night search warrant execution of the Bonacci residence. Undersheriff Craig DuMond said, “Sheriff Mills and I are very proud of the diligent work of our criminal investigators as well as the collaborative teamwork with members of the Sidney Police Department, NYS Police, Delaware County Probation Department and Office of the District Attorney. We will continue to work tirelessly and deliberatively to remove these evil drug dealers from our communities within and around Delaware County. We will not stop until we accomplish our mission.” Trick or Treat If your town, village, church or nonprofit organization is sponsoring a Halloween event, please have the information to us by Monday, Oct. 27 at 5 p.m. and we’ll add it to our free listing. 2 — Tri-Town News — Thursday, October 23, 2014 Harpursville Alpaca Farm Going to Nationally-Certified Show Oct. 25-26 LOCAL RESIDENTS Helen Harris, (l), and Karen Clark (r) of Log Cabin Alpacas, Harpursville, will be among the competitors at the Empire Alpaca Extravaganza in Syracuse, Oct. 25-26.

Back-of-Bobs Ice Cream Shop would like to thank all those who so generously helped us support area veteran’ groups this past summer as you attended our bi-weekly cruise-ins. Due to the generosity of all those who came, supported, and contributed, whether by purchasing a raffle ticket, or donating back the winnings, we were able to make donations to four area veterans associations: DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Chapter 200, Bainbridge American Legion, Sidney Veterans Memorial Park, and the Norwich American Legion. We believe supporting our veterans should be a priority whenever possible. Again, thank you for helping us in this endeavor, and we’ll hope (with better weather) that next year will be an even bigger success in supporting those who so unselfishly devoted their lives to protecting us. ELECT TO THE WINNING TEAM HARPURSVILLE - Log Cabin Alpacas of Harpursville will be among competitors from across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions at the 2014 nationally certified Empire Alpaca Extravaganza at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse, Oct. 25-26. Show admission to the two-day, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. event and parking are free. The 2014 Empire Alpaca Extravaganza organizers are making a concerted effort to attract visitors interested in learning about how raising the finely-fibered animals provides income and lifestyle opportunities. To facilitate potential buyers and those interested in starting an alpaca enterprise, the Empire Alpaca Association will offer educational seminars on marketing, merchandising, fiber processing, and income opportunities with respected owners, breeders and fiber artisans. Alpaca breeders and owners will show their animals and fleeces and will have booths with value-added products and information about their farms and animals for sale or breeding rights.

Youth activities will include hands-on fiber crafts and demonstrations. The Sunday afternoon show schedule includes performance, obstacle, and costume classes. Alpacas, native to the South American Andes Mountain region, are raised for their luxurious and durable fiber that is highly prized by the garment industry, crafters and artisans, and people who prefer natural fibers but are allergic to wool. The teddy bear-like Huacaya alpacas account for 99 per- cent of the alpaca population; Suri alpacas have silken fiber dreadlocks that grow up to 15 inches long. American alpaca enterprises developed with the first animal imports into the U.S. in 1982. A business model that does not allow artificial insemination helps maintain animal breeding and sales values which can be worth several thousand dollars. Sixteen NY farms formed the Empire Alpaca Association/EAA in 2002 following the first Empire Alpaca Extravaganza show event. The association now has members ranging from small farms to some of the largest in the U.S. The EAA is the first affiliate of the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association to create a Code of Ethics.

Hop a train to River City, Iowa, a town in ‘Trouble’ due to the addition of a new pool table to the local billiards hall. Harold Hill, a traveling salesman played by Gabe DeJoseph, convinces the townspeople to buy instruments and instruction books to form the River City boys’ band. His suave words and broad actions present the claim that this band will keep the children out of this ‘Trouble’ that will be caused by the pool table. The skeptical Marian Paroo, played by Alyssa Perillo, is not amused by Harold’s salesmanship or his romantic advances. Just as Marian is about to expose him as a conman, the Wells Fargo Wagon shows up to deliver the band instruments. After Winthrop, played by Payton Haney, receives his trumpet, Marian has a decision to make. Will Marian expose Harold? Will the River City boys’ band have 76 trombones to lead the big parade? Come to Unatego Jr./Sr. High School and find out. The show will also feature Alina Alfonsi as Mrs. Paroo, McKenzie Wetmore and Stephen DeForest as the Shinns, Cynthia Johnson as Zaneeta and Greg Sears as Charlie Cowell.

Paden...................................Publisher Nancy Sue Burns.........................................Editor Anna Ritchey.......................Advertising Manager A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER There are probably some disappointed readers among you who are looking for your letter to the editor on this page. With a hotly contested race for a seat on the Sidney Town Council to be decided on Nov. 4, apparently the campaign strategies are to flood the newspaper with letters to the editor. The election should not be decided by which candidate can mount the larger letter writing campaign so I’ve limited the letters to one apiece for each candidate, and chose the letters that best encompass the ideas expressed by all the letter writers. If you feel that strongly about your candidate you can buy advertising space in next week’s issue. I know some of you bought lots of commercial time on the local radio station. — Kenneth S. Paden LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Election Is Critical To Sidney’s Direction I am pleased to report that since January of this year, under the leadership of our new Town Supervisor Gene Pigford, the town board meetings have been conducted with civility and respect. In addition to conducting normal business, we have been able to implement new procedures for purchasing of materials and services at the hospital, East Sidney Lake and the highway department for greater accountability and controlling of spending. The proposed new procedures were met with some resistance but fortunately we were able to accomplish these important changes. The town has furnished a letter of support for the Constitution pipeline recognizing that there are some drawbacks to the project, especially the impact on the landowners directly affected, but we expect them to get a fair shake in negotiations and to be treated with respect by the pipeline company. At the same time we are trying to provide our residents with natural gas for heating their homes, for businesses like so many of our neighboring communities and communities throughout the country have, and for the energy needs of our industry that we depend on for jobs and maintaining our tax base. Also under supervisor Pigford’s leadership, the town has recently approved a preliminary budget for 2015 holding the tax increase to 1.56% for our taxpayers. This election is critical in terms of the direction Sidney will be taking in the future including the hospital, our finances, and the ability to obtain natural gas for our homes and businesses. The town, through the Sidney Town Planning Board is also working on a new comprehensive zoning local law that will affect every parcel of land in the town outside of the village. This code, if adopted by the Sidney Town Board, will further restrict what your property can or cannot be used for and what criteria you would have to meet to comply with the code. Having Jody Proffitt on the town board to insure fairness can be an asset when this comes before the board. These are just a few of the issues before the board at this time or expected in the near future but they are important to all residents of the town inside and outside of the village. Selecting the wrong person for the Sidney Town Council could stymie further efforts in jobs retention and economic development as well as accountability for town spending of taxpayers’ money. Don’t be misled by talk like “let’s work together” when that’s all it is, talk or the use of red, white and blue colors. They showed their true colors in their attempt to win the last election. We need a person who can be relied upon to further our best interests (not those of a special interest group), who will live by the rules (not above them), who is willing to attend to all of the issues that are now or will come before the board in the future (not to one agenda item) and who represents our rural values. If you care about controlling spending, protecting jobs and being able to trust your representatives to do right by you, vote for the person who cares about you. Please vote for Jody Proffitt on Nov. 4. Don’t leave the future of the Town of Sidney to chance. Jody has the unanimous endorsement of the Sidney Republican Committee IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS SIDNEY 25 YEARS AGO October 25, 1989 Sidney’s preliminary budget shows a decrease in tax rate of $1.51 per thousand of assessed valuation for property owners within the village portion of the town.

Oct. 19, 1939 – The Sidney High School is to have a machine shop and will offer a machine shop course in addition to other industrial arts courses. This machine shop has been made possible through the splendid cooperation of the Scintilla Magneto Corporation, who donated the machines. Herman Hanni, George Steiner, and Albert Egli of the Scintilla plant are assisting in making this machine shop training available to boys of the Sidney High School.

The Borden Chemical Company has installed very efficient automatic equipment for making “squeeze bottles” at their plant in Bainbridge. The bottles will be used to package Elmer’s Glue-All and similar products which are manufactured in Bainbridge. Oct. 20, 1949 – A total of 695 students are now enrolled in the Bainbridge Central School, according to a report from the office of F.J. Casey, principal. This number represents the highest Sept. enrollment ever recorded in the local school. Congestion within the school building due to the increased enrollment has been relieved somewhat by the use of the recently acquired Parsons House for the two sections of the fifth grade. UNADILLA 25 YEARS AGO October 25, 1989 Three generations are serving their community of Unadilla as members of the Unadilla Fire Department. They are Reg Browning, his daughter Sue Barnes and Sue’s son, and also has been nominated as the Independent “Do Right by You” candidate. He is currently the Deputy Town Supervisor, appointed by the supervisor whose appointment was approved by the entire town board, including both Republicans and Democrats. He will do right by you. John Woodyshek Sidney Town Councilman ter and air, the need to have a well-thought out zoning plan for our community, and the continued promotion and improvement of the East Sidney Lake recreational facility. These are just a few of the reasons why I support Loddie Marsh for the Sidney Town Council, and I hope that you too will give her your support on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 4. Susan Sklenarik Sidney Loddie Marsh Will Be Quiet Voice of Reason For the fourth time in as many years, the Town of Sidney will be having a race for a seat on the town board. As chairman of the Sidney Democratic Committee, I have been questioned on numerous occasions why would our committee endorse Loddie Marsh, a Republican. For the past several years we have seen the town, and subsequently the committee, become highly politicized. To resolve the many issues facing our community, it is necessary to elect someone who can be the quiet voice of reason. When asked what she would like to have as the party name for the independent line, Loddie chose, “Building Community.” Undoubtedly you have seen the large signs around the village and town with both an elephant and a donkey pictured, along with the notation, “Let’s work together.” Our committee wanted to endorse a candidate whom we felt was the most qualified to represent all the people of Sidney. We need to have a candidate elected to the town board who is committed to the spirit of cooperation, and Loddie is that sort of person. When faced with an issue, she will learn all the facts she can before taking a position. She is committed to helping preserve the quality of life we enjoy in Sidney by educating herself about the continued safety of our wa- CORRECTION In last week’s edition we ran a Letter to the Editor from Willard C. Dann in support of Sidney Town Council candidate Loddie Marsh. Unfortunately we made a typographical error. The paragraph that contained the error should have read: “I’m wholeheartedly supporting her as the person we want because she knows the issues and she has the interest, intelligence, experience and enthusiasm to work in addressing the problems facing the council today.” Sidney Taxpayers Voice Concerns At the last Sidney School Board meeting we learned that our students had greatly improved their test scores. Well done! However, for this each administrator was given at least a $5,000 bonus. I would like to know how these bonuses will be given back to the teachers and students who made them possible. We know the administrators will make the right choices for the allocation of their bonuses (our tax payers’ money) to benefit our students. We’re looking forward to our students’ continuing successes with the help of their parents, teachers and REIHOFFERS POSE FOR A PHOTO announcing their Afton Bake Shop’s 20th Open House from the November 9, 1978 Tri-Town News. Don’t we all miss those donuts? Rick Barnes Creative Unadilla resident Scott Gladden is artist, illustrator, poet and collector. He has had a layout for day care centers appear in Readers Digest (Oct. 1988), has had his sketches of the infamous John Hinkley published in People Magazine at the time of his trial and readers of the Pocket Books and Harlequin Books are certain to have seen his work on the covers of many of their paperbacks. Scott, who now has a studio in Unadilla, is not only continuing his work as an illustrator, but is putting together a portfolio that he plans to take to Manhattan. UNADILLA 55 YEARS AGO October 23, 1959 Unadilla residents were stunned by the tragic results of a home fire which occurred at 4 a.m. Saturday morning at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cummings on Martin Brook St. in this village. While it was generally believed that the couple would survive the first, second and third degree burns from the ordeal, the couple passed away Sunday morning, leaving their 18 month old daughter, who also suffered from smoke inhalation and severe burns. Oct. 20, 1939 – When any Saturday’s sun is well over the eastern hills, the rumble of varied trucks, livestock laden, may be heard as they steer for the farmer’s mecca at the top of Maple Ave. hill. Starting shortly over two years ago, August 1937, David Chambers has put Unadilla on the map as a farm-trading center. Anything from the farm is eligible for this auction and within the vendue house, where Col. Telford Chambers wields a hard but square gavel, many other things besides animals are sold. administrators. Concerned Sidney Taxpayers, John & Linda Silvernail possible customers there are at our lodge. But we took it in stride. We called our own fuel provider, Boulder Oil Company of Unadilla. After explaining the situation, the owner himself showed up in the rain and hooked everything up. The day after the clambake it was all taken back. When the bill came in the mail it said, “Seeing as how you were put into such a tough situation, don’t worry about it! Thanks for doing business with us.” Wow. No charge at all. From now on Bob Couse and Boulder Oil Company will always have our business. In this day and age it’s refreshing to find a company that does business the old fashion way where the customer still means something and it’s not just all about the almighty dollar. Thanks again Boulder Oil Company and shame on you Mirabito Fuel Group. — Sidney Elks Lodge Boulder Oil Company Does Business The Old Fashion Way Two days before the Sidney Firemen’s Clambake at the Sidney Elks Lodge we remembered that no one had called the Mirabito Fuel Group to come and hook up the firemen’s clam steamers to propane. Whoops. Not the end of the world, but definitely a mistake. Much to our dismay, when we called Mirabito they said, “No. You don’t get your fuel oil or propane from us as a customer so we won’t do it.” We were quite shocked. It was for the Sidney Fire Department, not for the Elks. Not a smart business move on Mirabito’s part seeing as how many Elks members and Letters to the Editor are appreciated.

Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian OCTOBER 2014 Last week I used a print from a glass plate negative taken by Julian Campbell. This week the picture is by the same photographer, who lived in Binghamton. His son Bruce sent me prints as Town Historian in 1999. This week’s picture shows the west side of Main Street as it looked in about 1913. There is not much difference in the looks of the buildings except for the change in winWest side of Main Street. Print from glass plate by Julian dows. The front of the Afton Campbell, about 1913. Given to the Town Historian by Inn is changed. Any resident Bruce Campbell. of 1890 would recognize the scene if they travelled the street today. All of these brick buildings were erected after a fire in about 1885 which destroyed the wooden structure on the site. The fire at the Afton Inn, when owned by Dave and Avelda Daly in 1942, damaged the building so that the roofline was changed and the portico in front was removed. The corner building in 1913 housed the Church and Hill Bank. Marshall Hill, was a former store owner and later owner of the Afton Inn. He and Fred and George Church were president, vice president, and cashier, in that order. The bank failed after World War I and was succeeded by the First National Bank of Afton, now NBT. The next section is the office of the Rinker Agency which sells insurance of all sorts. The building has had a succession of tenants, including Keator’s Store. The third section is the headquarters of the V.F.W. Post 3529. It is very active in the community and serves breakfast and barbecues to the public. Previously it was the home of the Afton Grange, now defunct. The fourth section is now the office of Grace Lee who sells health insurance and advises people about their needs. In 1913 the building was the general store of George F. Decker. He sold a varied type of merchandise. This building was erected a few years after the others and is a little different in style. The Afton Inn, across Daly Drive, is in a different block from the brick stores. It has had three disastrous fires: 1877, 1898, and 1942. Each time it has been rebuilt or repaired. additional information regarding Fair Housing, they can contact Richard Metzger, fair housing officer at 967-7336, Monday through Friday between the hours if 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. Thrift Shop Looking for Donations of Winter Clothing BAINBRIDGE - The New Beginnings Thrift Shop is looking for donations of winter clothing for all ages.

CELLIST DAVID GIBSON practices for his Oct. 25 performance at the Empire House Restaurant in Gilbertsville. He will begin playing at 6 p.m. Reservations are recommended and may be made at 783-2859. Cellist Provides Unique Music Experiences for Gilbertsville Area by Teresa Winchester GILBERTSVILLE - Cellist David Gibson may be retired from university teaching, but his cello is alive and well these days in Gilbertsville where he is teaching private students and also performing locally. His next concert at the Empire House Restaurant is on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. Gibson arrived with his wife Kathryn in 2010. He had just retired from his position at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he conducted the orchestra, devised a music history, theory and chamber music program, and created a music minor. For Gibson, the prospect of retirement was appealing because he wanted to do what he had done in his “former life” – teach the cello. He got to work doing just that soon after his move here. He currently has three students in Gilbertsville and another eight or so in Harlemville. Besides teaching, Gibson has begun to perform concerts that are free and open to the general public on the fourth Saturday of each month at the Empire House Restaurant, State Route 51, Gilbertsville. A graduate of Juilliard and Yale, he has taught cello privately and at Bennington and Mount Holyoke Colleges, as well as RPI. He has also performed as a soloist, conductor, and chamber musician and coach. “I find his presentations inspiring,” said Farrell Campbell. So inspired was the 77year-old Gilbertsville resident that she recently purchased a German-made pink violin and intends to learn how to play it. Gibson has already given her a few tips, contrasting violin and cello bowing techniques. “There are four treacherous pieces for the cello, and I’m going to play three of them,” he said. Gibson was referring to Boccherini’s Sonata No. 6 in A major, Haydn’s Concerto in D major, and Schubert’s Sonata in A minor.

The film is based on a true story revolving around JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm), a once-successful sports agent who finds himself edged out by bigger competitors. JB and his partner are precariously close to bankruptcy when JB comes up with a radical idea while watching a late night cricket match being played in India. He decides to fly to Mumbai and find his next baseball pitching sensation. He sets off with a cantankerous scout played by Alan Arkin and stages a televised, nationwide competition called “Million Dollar Arm” where 40,000 hopefuls enroll. JB brings not one, but two winners back to the states to train with the legendary pitching coach Tom House played by Bill Paxton. The immediate goal is to get the boys signed to a major league team. Adapting to American life in the home of a confirmed bachelor and adjusting the boys’ swing from cricket to baseball proves to be daunting. But the boys Rinku and Dinesh do learn the finer points of the culture and baseball, and they in turn teach JB the true meaning of teamwork and commitment. “Million Dollar Arm” carries the reputation of Disney productions. It is a “feel good” film suitable for the whole family. Join the Friends for a pleasant afternoon viewing a heartwarming story. As usual, admission is free and complimentary popcorn and water will be served.

(Obituaries Continued on Page 17) OCTOBER HOME IMPROVEMENT Tri-Town News — Thursday, October 23, 2014— 9 A TRI-TOWN NEWS SPECIAL EDITION Tools And Tricks To Tackle Tough, Cold Weather Yard Work You can cook up a kitchen that reflects the real you. Tips To Help You Personalize Your Kitchen (NAPS) - If your family is like most, it’s not like any other, and your kitchen shouldn’t be either. Every family has its own distinct requirements for the kitchen. Fortunately, a few simple steps can help you personalize your cooking and cleaning space to make it work best for you. Some ideas to personalize your kitchen workspace: • While a monochrome look can be sophisticated and serene, a few pops of color in curtains, cushions, door and drawer pulls can set it off and point it up. • Use your kitchen to show off your style. If you collect saltshakers, say, display them on open or glass-fronted shelves. Display your grandmother’s famous pie recipe in a frame. • It’s a bright idea to look to the lighting. There should be task lighting, accent lighting to highlight a special feature, and general overhead light. Try a bright spotlight in the kitchen over the sink or stove. • Let that light shine on a sink you’ve customized to meet your needs. The Blanco One collection offers three sinks and five innovative accessory kits that combine to create unique personalized solutions for cooking, cleaning and organizing. Start with the sink bowl. The Blanco One base is available in three model sizes to match your needs - XL Single, Super Single and Medium bowls. The 9”-deep bowls are easy to clean and created from high-quality stainless steel with Blanco’s signature Satin Polished Finish. If you want to keep knives out of reach of your kids, if you want a cutting board that lets you clean, cut and save space, or if you live in a small space and you don’t have coun- ter space to both clean and prep, there’s a Blanco One accessory just for you. The Magnetic Sink Caddy holds cleaning tools inside the sink; the Workstation holds knives and utensils; an Ash Compound Cutting Board fits to the sink to save space; protective Custom Grids and a Multi-Level Grid serve as an additional rack above the base grid to protect the sink. To make shopping easy, there are five convenient Blanco One accessory kits. 1. Organized - The space-saving caddy holds cleaning tools and sponge while the grid protects the sink. 2. Safety - The handy workstation keeps sharp knives clean and out of harm’s way and the grid protects the sink. 3. Prep - The incredibly thin and durable cutting board fits to the sink to save counter space and is paired with the caddy. 4. Culinary - Create a personal prep station with the cutting board and convenient utensil workstation. 5. Multi-Level - Exclusively for the largest bowl, this two-grid system offers a higher rack for prep and protective base. With the right tools, it’s easy to personalize your kitchen and make it work best for you. To learn more and see the complete Blanco One sink collection, go to www.blancoamerica.com.

(NAPS) - The steps you take now to clean up your yard and put it to bed for the next few months can set the tone for a more productive spring. Helpful Hints Try these tips for an easier and greener yard cleanup: • Remove dead leaves and continue to trim and mow your lawn. Trimming grass at a slightly lower level and raking up fallen leaves prevent matting under debris and snow. • Ready your lawn for next year. Prevent weeds by seeding bare patches, but give seed enough time to establish itself before really cold weather sets in. Now can also be the right time to fertilize to give your lawn the nutrients it’ll need to thrive next spring. • Trim dead or diseased limbs. Stormdamaged or lifeless branches can endanger your home and property. Protect trees and shrubs from further damage by using a chain saw to cut cracked, broken, loose or diseased limbs close to the trunk or nearest branch. A cordless pole saw is another option to safely trim high branches without a ladder. • Trim those hedges. Trimming hedges can help them keep their shape until they go dormant. Trim hedge sides at a slight angle, with the widest part close to ground level and tapering slightly at the tip. This provides maximum sunlight and reduces heavy hedges in the event of storms and wind damage. • Prepare your tools. Clean, sharp and quality tools make it easier to tackle tough yard tasks. Clean caked dirt and debris from shovels and rakes and sharpen chain saws, pole saws and hedge trimmers. Consider new tools that make yard work easier. For example, there’s a new wave of lithium-ion batterypowered tools that make tackling yard work easier than ever. Homeowners no longer have to sacrifice power and convenience with new cordless tools, such as OREGON’s 40V MAX Cordless Tool Systems. They have all the performance of gas-powered tools, minus the hassles, and, because there’s no fuel to spill or toxic emissions, battery-powered tools are the environmentally friendly landscaping choice.

So at the end of the mowing season, you want to give it the attention it deserves. Here are some tips on what you can do now to be sure your mower will start easily next mowing season. • Make sure your operator’s manual is on hand for quick reference whenever you work on your mower or any such equipment. • Remove the spark plug lead wire from the plug before doing any mower maintenance, and tape or tie it out of the way. • Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place away from gas cans, the water heater or furnace. • Change the oil. Old oil has lost much of its ability to coat and protect engine components, which could lead to damage down the road. Most people avoid changing the oil in their lawn mower because they think about having to tip the mower over to drain the old oil. They worry about spills in the driveway and a mess of rags and cardboard to catch spills. Oil removal kits make the process easier and a lot less messy. For example, the Briggs & Stratton 1.6-liter oil extractor pump has a long-reach hose so oil can be extracted through filler or dipstick holes. It is important to return and recycle used oil at the proper collection center in your community. • Clean your mower. Brush or hose off leaves, grass and mud. Gently tip your walk-behind mower on its side to spray the underbody. If debris is caught on the blade, use a stick or tool to remove it never use your hands. • Use a fuel stabilizer. Never store your lawn equipment with a partially full fuel tank. Either run the equipment out of fuel or use fuel stabilizer in a full tank of fuel. Add Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment and Stabilizer according to the package directions. Then - and this is important - run the mower for a few minutes so the stabilizer circulates through the carburetor. The stabilizer keeps fuel fresh for up to six months. Turn off the engine and completely fill the gas tank. A full tank will help prevent moisture from condensing in the tank, which can form rust that could break away and clog the carburetor. • Store your mower in a dry, protected place such as your garage or a garden shed. Never store it next to a furnace, water heater or appliance with a pilot light.

HORTON HARDWARE AFTON, NY • 607-639-1283 www.hortonhardware.com Keeping the play area a safe place for kids can be simpler than many parents realize. Playing It Safe In The Play Area (NAPS) - Keeping the play area safe for your offspring to run around and have fun in can be easier if you heed a few hints: 1. Once your little one starts to stand, he or she will likely try just about every piece of furniture for support, so check that each piece is sturdy and stable and won’t tip over onto your child. You may want to attach the furniture to the wall. 2. Make sure there’s enough storage space. Toys on the floor can be a hazard, so encourage your kids to clean up. That can be easier with lots of low, open storage bins, baskets and shelves so there’s little need to reach or climb. Just remember, the furniture should have smooth surfaces and rounded corners. If you use a toy chest, reinforce the hinges so the lid will stay open in any position, and won’t slam shut on a little hand. Make sure the hinges can’t pinch children, either. In addition, remove any locks and drill a few air holes just in case a child does get trapped inside. 3. When you get down to it, children love to play on the floor, so make sure it’s easy to keep clean and soft enough when kids fall down. Non-slip rugs on top of resilient or wood flooring can be a nice option. OVER 50 YEARS 4. Stop shock risk. Use outlet plates and covers to keep plug sockets safe from probing fingers. Be sure the covers can’t be easily removed and are too large to become choking hazards if they are pried out by toddlers. When replacing receptacles, get the tamper-resistant kind. 5. Childproof the windows. Use window stops that will let the window open no more than four inches and install window guards so children can’t fall out. Just be sure adults and older children can open them easily in case of fire. Never depend on screens to keep children safe. Open windows from the top whenever possible and don’t put furniture the kids can climb on close to any windows. 6. Replace older window coverings with today’s safer products to avoid the potential dangers posed to young children by window treatments with cords. Alternatively, you can obtain free retrofit kits from the Window Covering Safety Council at www.windowcoverings.org to make older products safer. Window covering safety is a top priority for Hunter Douglas.

(NAPS)—When people think of ways to live green and save energy in their homes, the bathroom may not be the first place that comes to mind. However, Carter Oosterhouse, home and design expert, proves there are several simple ways you can make a big difference in one of the most trafficked rooms in your home. 1. Save Water with Every Flush. Put a small plastic juice bottle or laundry soap bottle in your toilet tank. First, soak off the label, fill the bottle with water, replace the cap and place it in the tank. Because the bottle is in the toilet tank, less water is needed to fill the tank and therefore less water will be flushed. Be careful that the bottle doesn’t interfere with the flushing mechanism, and with five minutes work, you can save on or two gallons per flush. 2. Purchase Green Products. You can swap your traditional toilet paper for Scott Naturals® Tube-Free bath tissue and toss the tube. There’s no cardboard core so it has major potential to reduce a portion of the 17 billion toilet paper tubes thrown away each year in the U.S., enough to fill the Empire State Building twice. 3. Reduce Waste. Use bathroom necessities with less packaging such as bar soaps, which are friendlier to the environment (and your budget). The car- 4. 5. 6. 7. bon footprint of liquid soaps is about 25 percent larger than that of bar soaps. Liquid soaps also require more energy for packaging production and disposal. Clean the Air. Bathrooms are one of the most humid rooms in the house. Excess humidity can cause mold, which can spur allergies, asthma and other breathing troubles. Use nontoxic cleaning solutions to remove mold, such as household ingredients (baking soda and vinegar) or other natural cleaners. Help prevent mold by better ventilating the bathroom which removes the moisture that mold needs to grow. Install a Tankless Water Heater. With a tankless water heater, you only heat the water that you use, which saves energy and money. Gas water heaters give off an average of 58 percent fewer carbon emissions than electric ones. Save Energy. Compact fluorescent bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last 10 to 25 times longer. Energyefficient bulbs can also save you money on electricity. Conserve Water. Aerators on faucets and showerheads use half the water with twice the power. If everyone used one, aerators could save 250 million gallons of water a year. NYSEG and RG&E Urge Customers to Guard Against Deadly Carbon Monoxide ROCHESTER – NYSEG and RG&E, subsidiaries of Iberdrola USA, urge customers to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless gas that can quickly harm you and your family. To help keep you safe we recommend: Use CO detectors. (New York state law now requires CO detectors in most residences.) Have a professional check heating systems, chimneys, flues and vents once a year. Always read, understand and follow manufacturer’s instructions when using supplemental heat sources such as space heaters or fireplaces. Never use an emergency generator indoors, including the garage. Never use a natural gas stove, oven or charcoal grill as an indoor heat source. Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms, including headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea and loss of muscle control. Prolonged exposure to CO can lead to seri- To find out where to put a carbon monoxide detector so it will protect you best go to www.carbonmonoxide detectorplacement .com (with no breaks in the web address) for tips and instructions. ous illness and even death. CO is produced by incomplete combustion from boilers, furnaces, water heaters, gasoline engines, stoves, generators, lanterns and natural gas ranges. The incomplete combustion of charcoal, oil, wood or propane also can produce CO, which may reach dangerous levels in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces and poorly ventilated areas. Anyone who suspects a carbon monoxide problem should get up, get out and call 911. NYSEG customers may also call 1.800.572.1121; RG&E customers may call 1.800.743.1702. Carter Oosterhouse teamed up with the Scott Naturals® brand in New York City to launch its tube-free bath tissue nationally by building a 30-foot tower made out of toilet paper tubes to demonstrate the 17 billion tubes thrown away each year.

(NAPS) - With more and more choices available in automatic home standby power, selecting the right backup power system can be confusing. Here are three important things to think about when considering an automatic standby power system: • Backing up only the essentials. Are there a couple of rooms, or maybe a handful of appliances - your refrigerator, freezer, sump pump, furnace, and well pump, for example - that are the most important items for you to have during a power outage? You can work with your generator dealer or electrician to back up only the circuits that power them. This means investing in a relatively small home standby generator - perhaps a 7You can help save the environment and help yourself save some money, too, when you insulate your home. Foaming Your Home Can Help You Save (NAPS)—The use of energy-efficient and environmentally responsible building materials is an important consideration for homeowners, developers, architects and contractors. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a wise choice for insulating homes and structures as it can help lower energy use and bills. Lower energy use means that less greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, are being produced in the generation of electricity or other fuels that power our buildings. In California, which ranks among the most expensive states in terms of energy prices, SPF insulation can help homeowners save about $900 annually on their heating and cooling costs. Additionally, these energy savings mean homes insulated with SPF can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the state’s air by 800,000 metric tons, the equivalent of removing 2,700 cars from the roads there each year. And these savings aren’t limited to California. In Minneapolis, with its cold and long winters, a home with SPF insulation can save the equivalent of 2,400 barrels of oil over a 60-year period. A home in Houston, with its hot and long summers, can save the equivalent of 500 barrels of oil during that same period. And all these savings translate to less greenhouse gases being pumped into the environment. SPF produces these energy-efficiency benefits through its high R-value, 967-4896 • 12 No. Main St., Bainbridge which is the measure of the NOW AVAILABLE RAZOR’S EDGE insulation’s ability to resist SHARPENING SERVICE heat flow.

Backing up your whole home with a smart power management system. If you want all your lights and appliances running just as they would on a normal day, you can invest in an automatic standby generator with a smart power management system. This system can monitor the power you’re using, and if there’s a risk of overloading the generator, it will simply turn off the most powerhungry appliances. Most of the time, these are central air conditioners. When generator capacity returns, the system will turn those appliances back on. Such systems are ideal for homes up to about 3,000 square feet with no more than two three-ton central air conditioners. The generators can be as small as 11 kW, with 20- or 22-kW generators among the most popular. • Complete whole-house backup. Want to back up your entire home, with the ability to power every appliance all the time? You can invest in an automatic standby generator that delivers enough power to do just that. For homes up to 3,000 square feet, a 16- through 22-kW unit can suffice, while others - large custom homes and those with many powerhungry appliances such as two or more central air conditioners - will require generators that are larger. To learn which backup power solution is right for you, visit the Generac website at When the lights go out in a storm or blackout, www.generac.com. a backup power system can be vital. • Experts Say Fall Is the Time to Plant Perennials (NAPS) - Perennial plants are a garden- tion.

V I N Y L Tri-Town News — Thursday, October 23, 2014— 13 POLITICAL CANDIDATES’ STATEMENTS NEW YORK STATE Andrea Starzak Candidate NYS Senate 52nd District As a former 20-year special education teacher and mother of four, I learned patience and how to confront difficult challenges, while keeping important goals and values in mind. As a three-term Town of Vestal Supervisor, I fought for honest, transparent, accountable government with long term comprehensive planning and budgets that work. Now I would like to put these skills to work for you as your New York State Senator. Over the past 26 years, our area has lost over 20,000 jobs while the rest of the NY state has increased in employment. The Wall Street Journal has identified our region as the slowest growing in the entire United States, not just for this year, not just for next year, but until 2020! It is clearly time for a new direction in leadership, and time for a change. As your State Senator for the 52nd District my top priorities will be good jobs, good schools, good government and a healthy environment. Jobs, jobs, jobs, is the top issue for many people in this district. I especially propose “Build Up New York” which would work with existing local businesses to encourage expansion and new jobs by using revolving loan funds with low interest rates. Supporting our family farms, finding new crops, creating niche products and establishing and expanding agricultural marketing and distribution hubs in our area can help with innovative employment and business growth. Local green jobs and renewable energy will also create opportunities. Our area is blessed with good schools and dedicated teachers, administrators, students and parents. However, since 2008, our district has lost over $90,000,000 in state funding for our schools, while the NY State Senate has funneled money to NYC charter schools. I will work to restore much needed state aid to our upstate schools to relieve the local taxpayer burden. It is time to fight the corruption in Albany by bringing back honesty, integrity and transparency in government. It is important to pass bills like the 2014 Campaign Finance Reform Law, put strict limits on using campaign funds for personal legal expenses, call for public funding of elections, close the Limited Liability Company loophole, and shut down the “secret donor” interests which have taken over government. It is also important to allow bills to come to the floor which have been blocked by my opponent in the past such as the full 10 point Women’s Equality Act. And of course, one of the most important aspects of being your Senator is to protect our environment and promote a healthy future for New York state by standing with NY’s doctors and nurses to call for a three-year moratorium on hydrofracking due to its environmental and public health risks. I am qualified and eager to represent you. I understand the needs of our district, and the importance of managing our tax dollars conservatively while revitalizing our upstate economy and standard of living. I stand for good jobs, good schools, good government and a healthy environment. Your vote for me on Nov. 4 will assure you will have a voice and a senator in Albany that you can trust because my only special interest is you. SIDNEY TOWN COUNCIL Loddie Marsh Sidney Town Council. Hello Neighbors, My name is Loddie Marsh and I’m running for Sidney Town Council. I am honored that the Democrats have endorsed me, a Republican, to run for Town Council. On the ballot my name - Loddie Marsh - will appear twice: once on the Democratic line, and again on the Independent line, where I will appear under the party name ‘Building Community.’ I was one of five kids and grew up in Delaware. After leaving school I was hired by the DuPont Corporation where I began a 35 year career history in Computer Operations and Client Support Management. The positions I’ve held required strong communication, problem solving and people skills. A skill set that I believe will be an asset in the position of Town Council Member. My husband and I bought our farm and retired to Sidney in 2003. We fell in love with the area; it’s beauty and the rural way of life, a quality of life that I want to preserve. Becoming the owners of a small farm has been quite a learning experience. Both challenging and wonderful. We’ve added chickens and goats and planted an organic garden, worked on our blueberry field and adopted two cats that found their way to our farm. We’ve worked with Delaware County Soil and Water on projects to diminish flood erosion as we border Carr’s Creek. We completed the NYS Agriculture Environment Management program. We also completed a wetland enhancement project, working with the Chesapeake Bay Program. Wetlands, wetland buffers and grazing systems are land use practices that benefit water quality near and far, improve farm economics and reduce flood waters. It is one of many ways we can protect the environment. I’ve been a regular at the Sidney Town Board meetings since 2010. I’ve also attended planning board meetings. I worked with the Greater Maywood Rural Community Services and value their commitment to Sidney by building community. I’ve volunteered with the Delaware Valley Humane Society, which does so much for our furry friends. As a Sidney Town Council member I would work: -to preserve Sidney’s rural character and safeguard our air, water and property values. -to maintain local control of heavy industry. -to protect our health and the health of our children, livestock, pets and wildlife. -to assist Sidney’s senior population by promoting -to promote expansion of the hospital including emergency medical services -to promote public input into planning and zoning processes. -to promote growth and development that benefits us all. I will bring to Sidney Town Council: -a fresh perspective -a person who listens -a person who is a proponent of Home Rule -a mission to promote growth that improves all of our lives -a commitment to represent YOUR needs and interests. I want to know what’s important to you. My husband and I chose Sidney – I hope you choose me. Let’s work together, Loddie Marsh Jody S. Proffitt Republican Candidate for Sidney Town Council I am running on the Republican ballot for Sidney Town Council. I am asking everyone to get out to vote on November 4, let’s “Do it again and bring a friend.” I regularly attend the town board meetings and I am familiar with the issues our town is faced with. In January of this year, Town Supervisor Gene Pigford appointed me as Deputy Town Supervisor and I was approved unanimously by the board. In that capacity I have made every effort to act according to the needs of the job. If elected to the town board I will strive to keep the momentum running in the right direction, promoting respect by listening to citizens and working to find solutions to their concerns. I will continue to focus on fiscal responsibility following the Town’s new procurement policy, planning and budgeting, as well as continuing to payoff The Hospital debt. I believe the core difference in this year’s election is nothing less than the direction our community will follow for the next several years. I do not believe that Sidney is or has ever been a retirement community, a planned unit development or a wildlife habitat. It is not a suburban “bedroom community” to some other industrial area. Sidney is and has always been a rural community that has to fend for its own economic survival and identity. We have been around for over two hundred years and have existed nicely as a place of all forms of industry and commerce as well as a very nice place to live, raise a family and retire. I have witnessed manufacturing, family businesses, farms and other industries closing or leaving Delaware County for far too long. I will strive to promote economic growth by encouraging a business friendly community with an eye toward protecting the natural resources we have been entrusted with. I believe the pipeline would provide a source of cleaner and less expensive energy to homes, businesses and industry. The town must insist that the property owners’ are accommodated by the gas company and provided local step down from the pipeline. I am a lifelong resident of Delaware County growing up in Deposit and then living in Meridale where my wife Sandy and I raised our two daughters, Stephanie and Natasha. In the fall of 2006 we purchased our home in Sidney where we have resided for the last eight years. We have strong family values, treasure our great neighbors, and friends. Over 30 years ago I made a commitment to help the Deposit community by becoming a member of the fire department and emergency squad. In 1986 Sheriff Levon “Stretch” Telian appointed me as a Deputy Sheriff. I am currently a Sergeant and some of my responsibilities are Accreditation Program Manager, Director of the Delaware County Law Enforcement Academy and Program Manager for the Police Traffic Services Grant. Throughout my lifelong commitment as a public servant I have worked with local government, fire departments, emergency squads and other first responders to help us through natural disasters and horrific events, always doing more with less. During the floods that devastated Delaware County I worked in the Emergency Operation Center obtaining resources needed. I have committed myself to learning everything possible to better serve the residents of Delaware County and the Town of Sidney. On November 4, please vote and elect me to the Sidney Town Council.

Sheriff to Host Seminar on U.S. Constitution DELHI - We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln Many of you have expressed your vexation to me regarding the systematic erosion of the US Constitution in recent years; and more particularly, the NYS SAFE ACT. In these trying times, Constitutional awareness and education are more important than ever. It was for the purpose of being a “citizen’s last line of defense” from tyranny (caused by an overreaching State or Federal government) that the Office of Sheriff was established in our State Constitution. As your sheriff I am fully aware of my obligation, as a constitutional officer, to uphold (and if need be “protect”) our Constitutional rights. In an effort to address your concerns, I am sponsoring a Constitutional Awareness Seminar, which will encompass a broad view of the Con- stitution, especially as originally designed by our founding fathers. It will be conducted by a local Delhi resident and businessman, Dave Clark and Undersheriff DuMond at the Sheriff’s Office, 280 Phoebe Lane, Delhi, on Wednesday, Nov. 5 commencing at 6 p.m. Join us in our study of the Declaration of Independence and the original United States Constitution. In one of his “letters” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.” Feel free to contact Undersheriff DuMond at 746-2336 with any questions you may have. I look forward to seeing you on Nov. 5.

Sidney Angels Win Second Baseball League Championship SIDNEY - The Sidney Angels won their second league championship in three years as they knocked off the defending champion Binghamton Buccaneers. The Sidney Angels are part of the STABL (Southern Tier Adult Baseball League) Wooden Bat League. This team is made up of local talent from Sidney, Unadilla, Afton, Greene and the Albany area. This season, the league went to a three-game series format in the playoffs. The #1 seed Angels defeated the #5 seed Binghamton Royals in two games, and then went three games against the Bucs, who had knocked off the #6 seeded New Milford Braves and the #2 seeded Devil Rays. The Buccaneers took the first game on Saturday by a score of 3-0. The teams returned to River Park on Sunday, where the Angels won game 2 by a score of 4-0, as Angel’s manager Andy Kozak tossed a shutout to tie the series at one game apiece. The deciding game couldn’t have been better. Trailing 3-2 with runners on second and third and one out in the top of the 6th, Angels outfielder Chuck Parslow made an incredible diving play to save a run. However, the runner tagged up from third base to tie the score at 3. In the bottom of the 6th, Parslow walked, stole a base, and scored the go-ahead run from third on a passed ball. Despite throwing a complete game just one day earlier, Parslow took the ball in the 7th inning and shut down the side to earn the save and preserve the win - and the championship - for the Angels.

Downin beat a Milford defender to the ball on the rainslopped pitch and dribbling it to the right side before unleashing a shot that beat charging goalie Rukiye Henderson for the goahead tally. As required in soccer, the teams played a second OT with no other scores. Weather did not play a factor in the first half, as Downin gave the Purple Devils a 1-0 lead off a direct kick 9:49 into the match, but much of the second half and overtime was played in heavy rains and wind. Milford (15-1), a 3-2 winner over Franklin earlier in the season, tied the match with 28:42 left in regulation on Addy Lawson’s one-timer past Franklin keeper Alicia DeSilva (six saves). The Wildcats nearly won the game in regulation when, with about three minutes to play, Emilie Mertz’s shot had an open net but the ball tantalizingly trickled toward the goal before bouncing off the right post. DeSilva quickly fell on top of the ball to quell the effort. Franklin (14-1-1) hosts Laurens (6-7-2) I the opening round of the Section IV Class D sectionals at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
