Chet & Donna French to Receive
Unadilla Good Neighbor Award
UNADILLA - Chet and
Donna French are always
ready to lend a helping hand
to a neighbor, and are among
the first to respond to a need
in their community. That’s
why the Unadilla Chamber
of Commerce is recognizing
them with the Good Neighbor
Award.
Chet, who retired from the
Unadilla Village Department
of Public Works in 2005, now
devotes much of his time to
helping others. He has been a
member of the Unadilla Fire
Department for 40 years, and
is a past member of the department’s emergency squad.
After the floods of 2005 and
2011, he was among the volunteers who worked hard
pumping out cellars and helping with general clean up in
the village.
Always there to help a
neighbor, he recently built
a ramp for a gentleman who
needed easier access to his
home.
Donna shares her husband’s
dedication to the Unadilla Fire
Department. She is a 38-year
member of the department’s
fire auxiliary. For the past
10years she has served as auxiliary president. Donna too,
was among the volunteers
who helped her community
after the floods.
For several years Donna
worked as an aide at the Unadilla Elementary School
where she was a favorite with
the children and staff. Presently Donna is a clerk for
the Town of Unadilla. Donna
works closely with the elderly
and says she loves it.
Chet and Donna’s son Mike
is following in his dad’s footsteps, first as an Eagle Scout,
like his dad, and then serving
with the Unadilla Fire Department for the past 20 years.
A quote from Donna sums
up how Chet and Donna feel
about their neighbors and their
community, and why they enjoy helping others.
“We help people however
we can. It does your heart
good to do a good deed for
someone. It’s not what you
have or don’t have, it is what
you give to people and not expect anything in return.”
Chet and Donna will be
officially recognized by the
Unadilla Chamber of Commerce at their annual dinner
Sunday, April 27 at 5 p.m.
at the Unadilla United Methodist Church. The diner will
be a turkey/roast beef dinner
served family style.
The chamber will also honor
Todd and Trevor LeFever and
LeFever Tree Experts LLC
with the Business of the Year
Award, and Anna Ritchey will
be presented with Vision 21’s
Community Pride Award.
Reservations for the dinner
are due by April 21. Send your
name, number attending, your
e-mail and telephone number
and a check with a dinner fee
of $20 for each person to the
Unadilla Chamber of Commerce, PO Box 275, Unadilla,

SIDNEY – It was Christmas in April in the Village
of Sidney on Friday when the
village learned $28.5 million
was coming its way to help
prevent future flooding, and
to help residents who were
flooded in the past.
New York State Governor
Andrew Cuomo announced
which 10 projects in New
York would share in the $128
million Hazard Mitigation
Grant.
The projects are among
the first to be advanced for
funding from this program.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds
provide 75 percent reimbursement of eligible costs, up to
the amount of the award. Inkind services or materials may
be used toward the 25 percent
non-Federal match.
The Village of Island Park
in Nassau County on Long Island, hard hit by Superstorm
Sandy, received the largest award, $40 million. The
award to Sidney was the second most.
The Sidney “GreenPlain”
project was awarded $22 million. The announcement from
Cuomo’s office said, “Demonstrating the connectivity of
watershed communities, the
Sidney GreenPlain project is
comprised of four distinct mitigation areas that would each
have the ability to function
independently, while forming
one contiguous system.
“The areas are designed
to provide additional flood
storage for both the Susquehanna River and Weir Creek
by creating a series of meandering channels that feed into
larger depressed storage areas. Additionally, the project
will restore the unique plant
community that thrives along
and stabilizes the edge of the
creek.
“This project will reduce
risks village-wide, improve
floodplain function, lessen
damage to the village core,
and protect residents.”
Village of Sidney Mayor
Andy Matviak said, “I want to
thank the governor for providing the grants to help reduce

by the board of directors at the
beginning of 2013. Carol Allen, campaign chair, expressed

by the whole community.
Mark Lee, president of the
Sidney United Way, welcomed representatives from
15 of the focus area agencies
and commented that the Sidney United Way is pleased to
help provide financial support
to each of these organizations.
“We hope that grants provided
by the Sidney United Way will
enable focus area agencies to
work on issues that will make
our community a better place
to live.”
Each of the focus area agencies attending provided a report on how their agency used
United Way funding this past
year. They explained the programs they provide, as well as
accomplishments and needs
relating to future initiatives.
Grants awarded in 2014 will
be published in the Tri-Town
News throughout the year.

APR*
AS LOW AS PRIME + 0.00%
The variable rate above reflects a discount of 0.50% for automatic payment
and would increase if conditions for discount are not maintained.
* To qualify for the introductory rate: (1) NBT Bank must be in the first lien or a second lien position on the property; (2) the property must be a 1-4 family owner-occupied
primary residence; (3) the loan-to value (LTV) ratio cannot exceed 80%; (4) the borrower must have an Experian FICO score of 700 or higher; (5) payments must be
made via automatic deduction from an NBT Bank checking account. When the first lien position is held by another financial institution: (1) the maximum LTV cannot
exceed 70%; (2) the outstanding balance on the first lien cannot exceed $100,000; and (3) the amount of the home equity loan requested cannot exceed $100,000. A
minimum line of $10,000 must be approved for a new home equity line of credit and advanced at closing. Customers with an existing home equity line of credit from
NBT Bank must be approved for an additional $10,000 to qualify. Rates shown are as of April 14, 2014. The 0.50% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is an introductory
rate for 6 months, and after the introductory period the rate can be as low as 3.25%. The APR after the introductory discount period is variable and may change
monthly based upon changes in the prime rate but will not fall below 3.25% or exceed 15.90%. The Prime Rate is the highest Prime Rate published in the Wall Street
Journal on the tenth day of the preceding month. Property insurance is required and flood insurance when necessary. Title insurance is required for all loans over
$250,000 in a first lien position and may be required for loans with aggregation over $250,000 when the home equity is in a second lien position. If you cancel the
line of credit within 3 years, you must reimburse us the third-party fees paid in connection with opening the line. Closing costs paid to third parties generally total
between $785 and $3,544 in New York. In Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Pennsylvania, closing costs paid to third parties generally total between
$628 and $2,341. See your tax advisor for details on the tax deductibility of interest. Offer subject to credit and collateral approval. This is not a commitment to lend.
Additional terms and conditions may apply depending on the type of collateral and other loan terms offered or chosen.

ONEONTA - State Senator James L. Seward (R/C/I
– Oneonta) announced that he
will be hosting the Joint Senate Task Force on Heroin and
Opioid Addiction on Monday,
April 28 in Oneonta. The forum is one of 12 being held
statewide to solicit local input
on the rise in use of heroin and
other opioids in New York
State and develop recommendations for treating and preventing addiction.
“Heroin use has reached
epidemic proportions,” said
Senator Seward. “Lives are
being lost, our public healthcare system is being overburdened, and law enforcement
resources are being stretched
thin. Heroin is infiltrating all
social, economic, and geographic sectors of our state
and we need to take definitive
action to halt this ugly trend.”
Senator Seward will lead
the task force forum and will
be joined by Senator Phil
Boyle (R/C/I – Suffolk County), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Alcoholism
and Drug Abuse and chairman
of the special task force. Experts in substance abuse and
treatment, law enforcement,
municipal officials, and individuals personally affected by
heroin and opioid abuse will
offer testimony at the forum.
Attendees from the public will
also have an opportunity to
express their views and offer
real-life examples of the damages caused by drug abuse.
“It is important that we formulate a multi-prong strategy
that will break the stranglehold
heroin has on so many people
in our society. This series of
statewide forums, featuring a
diverse group of expert stakeholders, will play a vital role
as we develop our line of attack against this growing epidemic,” Seward added.
The rise in heroin use and
the deadly effects of the drug
are well documented. A 2012
federal survey on drug use
and health reported that the
number of people who said
they used heroin in the past
12 months rose from 373,000
people in 2007 to 669,000
people in 2012.
The task force will also
examine the crimes that accompany increases in illegal
drug activity. In February, the
New York Times reported that
the federal Drug Enforcement
Administration’s (DEA) heroin seizures in New York State
increased 67 percent over the
last four years. The DEA’s
New York office “seized 144
kilograms of heroin, nearly 20
percent of its seizures nationwide, valued at roughly $43
million.”
Due to the Senate Majority’s efforts, the recently enacted 2014-15 state budget
included $2.45 million for
initiatives to provide prevention, treatment and addiction
services to address the growing problems of heroin and
opioid abuse. In addition to
the creation of the task force,
the senate passed legislation
(S.6477B) in March to help
save lives by allowing authorized health care professionals to increase public access
to Narcan/Naloxone which, if
timely administered, can prevent an overdose death.
The public forum will take
place from 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.
on Monday, April 28 at the
Hunt Union Ballroom on the
campus of SUNY-Oneonta.

RECENTLY RETIRED AFTON TOWN AND VILLAGE
JUSTICE JOSEPH PALUMBO (right) receives a Certificate
of Recognition from the New York State Magistrates
Association, presented by 2014 Association President, the
Honorable Amel S. Jowdy. The award was presented in

said that not only should Judge Palumbo be recognized for
his service to Afton, but also for his support to other town and
villages court judges of Chenango County. His many years
of experience made “Joe” one of the go to guys when more
junior county justices needed advise.

HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,082
by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
APRIL 2014
Middlebridge was an early settlement in what was once known as South
Bainbridge. It was located on the east
side of the Susquehanna River betweeen present Afton and Bainbridge
near where Melendy Hill Road joins
the East River Road.
Nathaniel Benton was an early settler in that area. The place, once quite
a settlement, got its name from a
covered bridge which was built about
William B. Grover home, still standing in the
1825, about four years before the first
middlebridge area of Afton. Picture from Town
covered bridge in South Bainbridge
Historian.
village. The bridge was swept away
about 1850.
At Middlebridge, a hotel was built about 1840 by a Mr. Stevens. It later became a dwelling. The grist
and saw mills, known as the Peck Red Mills, were to be operated by the Jack family. A son, Preston
R. Peck, was a noted Civil War veteran who, though seriosly wounded in battle, was able to return
to Afton to work with his family. The mills are shown on the 1875 map but not on the 1855 and 1863
maps.
Many of the Benton family members lived and died in the Middlebridge area. Col. Ansel Benton married Cornelia Weeks and settled where Willam B. Grover was living in 1880. Ansel died in September,
1845, at age 45. William B. Grover and his wife died three days apart in January, 1892. They both
died of grip, then called La Grippe. They had sons J.B. Grover and Fred Grover and daughters Mrs.
H.G. Carr and Mrs. R.A. Chamberlin. I can find no documented connection between William and the
Earl Grover family, my relatives who live on the neighboring farm. I believe that they considered Henry
Carr, the druggist, to be a relative through his wife, Mary Grover.
Crossing the river, in the Middlebridge area was at one time a gravity pulled cable car, now gone. It
was built by Frank Ball to reach his home on what was known as Ball’s Island. It is featured in an article
with the title “Down the Susquehanna by Canoe” in the National Geographic in 1950.
In the 1869 Directory of Chenango County, William B, Grover owned land on Great Lot 89. He was
a hop raiser, dairyman, and farmer with 150 acres. Hop growing was a main crop in the area then and
a hop barn was located on the the nearby Corbin farm. The picked hops were dried and baled there.

Delaware County 4-Hers
Travel The World
by Emily Roach
DELHI - Friday, March
28, was a fun and educational
night at the 24th annual 4-H
Goes Global: International
Night Passport to Fun. This
year, approximately 150 4Hers, leaders, families, and
friends came to 4-H Camp
Shankitunk in Delhi to learn
about various countries from
all over the world. Our journey took us to Japan with The
Colorful Clovers, France with
the Crafty Kids, The Marshall
Islands with the Maple Ridge
4-H Club, Nicaragua with The
Adventurers 4-H Club, India
with the Thistle Be the Best
Little 4-H Club, Sweden with
the Little Clovers, Peru with
Independent Member Abigail
Dennis, Canada with Futures
Finest 4-Hers, and Ukraine
with the Delaware County
Wild-n-Wooly 4-H Club.
Each 4-H club chose a
country and created intriguing displays that included
photographs, maps, fun facts,
and more. Each club also
prepared a traditional dish or
drink of their chosen country
and presented information,
songs, and/or folklore to all in
attendance.
This year’s feature presenter was Val Zacharczenko. Val
taught everyone about France,
especially Paris. She taught International Night participants
how to speak some French
words and how to sing the
song, “Frère Jacques.” Everyone loved her presentation and
we would like to thank her for
taking the time to volunteer
and present!
After 24 years of 4-H “traveling” around the world, it is
great to see that the interest
is still there and everyone in
attendance enjoyed the event.
Thank you to all the leaders,
members, and their families
for making this year’s International Night a success. We
look forward to next year’s
program (25 years) to continue the journey.

Delaware County 4-H, please

Learn to Cope with Grief
At 8-Week Program
BAINBRIDGE - HALos
Inc. will be offering the 8Week Grief Recovery Method
Outreach Program. The focus of this program is to help
move beyond death, divorce,
and other losses. It dispels
common myths like time
heals all wounds, replace the
loss, grieve alone, be strong
for others and bury your feelings. Your feelings are normal
and natural.
The problem is that we have
been socialized to believe that
these feelings are abnormal
and unnatural. Whether your
loss is from death, end of a
relationship, loss of trust, loss
of faith, loss of health, or any
loss, this program is designed
to support and guide you
through recovery.
We will begin on Tuesday, April 29 from 6-8 p.m.
at the Bainbridge Elementary
School, 43 Greenlawn Ave.,
Bainbridge. There is a small
fee for book and materials. For
further information call Judy
June certified grief recovery
specialist, at 765-6507.

What Great Weather
Finally we have had some
great warm weather this past
week. Hope everyone could
get out and do some outdoor
work. There certainly seems to
be lots to do now. Our weekend started out with part of the
tractor coming from Wisconsin by freight truck and the
tractor getting taken away to
Oneonta for repairs. There’s
always something getting repaired here, but maybe it will
be ready for the spring work
to be done.
Our daughter Deb and her
boys, Connor and Brady, arrived here from York, near
Geneseo, and we met them
in Sidney and had lunch. We
got home just in time to see
the tractor going away on the
truck; the boys liked to see
that. The boys had an experience helping their cousins and
family boil some sap on the
fire outside and finished in the
house. They enjoyed that experience and saw how it takes
quite a while to get ready;
something they can tell their
friends when they get home.
What great weather for all
the children to play outside.
They made teams and played
hide and seek and took a walk
to the woods, came home
with muddy feet, changed
again and went back out and
got muddy again. They had a
great time with the 70 degree
temperatures.
Deb and the boys went to
church, we all came home
and got something to eat and
it was time for them to get going home. We all had a good
time with the weather so nice;
hope it stays for the Easter
weekend.
Have a great Easter all and
we hope you are able to get
your families together.
School News
School is off this week, hope
all are having a good time and
getting what you want to do
done while the children are
home to help. When they return to school they have report
cards to look for, good luck.
There will be Arbor Day activities and more, along with
NYS math testing, good luck
again.

Richard A. Harrington
BAINBRIDGE - Richard
A. Harrington, 76, formerly
of Bainbridge, passed away on
Thursday, April 10, 2014 at
Chenango Memorial Hospital
in Norwich.
He was born on Nov. 13,
1937, son of the late Harold
and Blanche (Shirts) Harrington in Norwich. He graduated from Norwich High
School and served honorably
in the US Army from 1958
to 1960. Richard worked for
Frontier Communications his
entire career as a telephone
installer, retiring in 1997. On
June 7, 1997, he was married
to Betty Newman, who predeceased him in 2001.
In his younger years, Richard enjoyed bowling, golf and
fishing. He was also a lover of
animals and gumdrops, and a
member of the Norwich Elks
Lodge.
Richard is survived by four
daughters, Kat Hafner, Dunedin, Fla., Diane and Brian

SIDNEY - On March 30,
2014, heaven was blessed to
receive another angel. Helen
Theresa (Hughes) Kohler of
Sidney, formerly of Nutley,
N.J., passed away early Sunday morning at the gilded age
of 97.
Helen lived her life to its
fullest extent. Never once
would you be so naive as to
assume that she was resting.
Being an avid bowler, Helen
was sometimes found enjoying time at the local lanes,
watching bowling on television, or more recently, setting
household records for perfect
games on the Wii. Though she
enjoyed bowling, she loved to
travel. There was never a time

that you could catch her with
an unpacked suitcase. No matter how adventurous you felt,
she was always two adventures ahead of you. Although
she lived her life to the fullest,
Helen was the furthest thing
from a selfish person. Assuming that her family of six
wasn’t enough of a challenge,
Helen made sure to up the ante,
helping as many people as a
human being could. It wasn’t a
shot in the dark to assume that
she had invited another person
into her home to be showered
with hospitality, love and
compassion. Her ability to do
so could have been attributed
to either the endless supply of
items found in the basement
or, her incredible strength and
infinite love.
On Aug. 9, 1941, Helen
wed William J. Kohler, who
predeceased her in 1979 after
37 years of marriage. She was
also predeceased by her brother, Joseph Hughes; her sister,
Elizabeth Duclos; and her sonin-law, Don Williams.
She is survived by her
daughters, Helen Williams,
Carolyn (Richard) Foley and
Marjorie (John) Ignozza;
her son, William (Geralyn)
Kohler; grandchildren, Sandra Williams, Christine (Jeff)

Michelle (T.J.) Callas, Susan (Tom) Seymour, William

since you have been gone. I
still can’t believe God needed
you more than I did. There
isn’t a day that goes by that
I don’t think of you. Would
you have changed the world
with your bare hands like you
would tell me you were going
to do. If I would make a comment about something wrong
with the world you would say
“don’t worry, Mom, when
I get grown I am going to
change the world and make
it good for everyone, you just
gotta believe.” I did believe in
you.
I miss you so much but it is
a little easier knowing that dad
is with you. Someday we will
all be together. Keep watching
out for us.

Endicott Man Drowns
Behind Harpursville School
HARPURSVILLE – On
Saturday, April 12, Broome
County 911 center received a
call reporting that a subject,
reported to be Brian B. Lanzo,
20, of Endicott, jumped off a
railroad bridge that spans the
Susquehanna River behind the
Harpursville High School.
Several friends who were
with Lanzo at the time observed him to be in distress
in the river, and, within minutes watched him disappear
under water. The river level
is elevated and the water
conditions are muddy with
a swift current. Emergency
services personnel, including
the Broome County Sheriff’s
Office, responded to the scene
and five boats were launched
in the river in an attempt to locate Lanzo. Additional efforts
included aerial observation by
helicopter, divers, and canines
trained in human scent detection in water; however, he was
not located.
Sunday morning, April
13, six boats were launched
to conduct search operations and, at about 9:27 a.m.,
personnel on a Harpursville
Fire Department boat located
the body in the Susquehanna
River between Center Village
and Ouaquaga. The body was
positively identified by family
members who were present
for the search. The body was
released to the OsterhoutMadden funeral home and
was taken to Wilson Regional
Medical center for a post-mortem examination. The examination was conducted and the
cause of death has been ruled
an accidental drowning. The
Sheriff’s Office is considering
this investigation closed.

Work Has Not Stopped At Thunder Mountain
Speedway; Official Season Opener Saturday, May 3
CENTER LISLE – It’s
been a long road – and the
destination has not yet been
reached – but the resurgent
season for Thunder Mountain
Speedway is set to kick off on
Saturday, April 19 with the
first on-track activity of the
2014 season.
“We’ll be working on it
right up to the time we open
the gates for the first race
of the season,” Thunder
Mountain’s returning owner
Karl
Spoonhower,
who
reacquired the facility he
built in the early 1990s after
a seven-year absence from the
sport, said.
“But we’ve made a lot of
progress. The new clay is in
good shape. We are ready to
race on the track. We’ve been
at the track every day for 1215 hours a day freshening up
the facility.”
The first of two open
practices is set for April 19
starting at 1 p.m. Pit admission
is $20 and grandstand
admission is free. A second
open practice takes place on
April 26, with identical times
and pricing in place.
Recent work at the facility
has included the construction
of a new Victory Lane,
concrete footers poured for
new light poles and lights
and more. Behind the scenes,
a clean-up and remodeling
project of the concession
stands, bathrooms and towers
is underway.
“I am looking forward to
everybody coming back to the
track and seeing what we’ve
done,” Spoonhower said.
“We’ve had a ton of interest,
that’s for sure.”

Delaware County Sheriff Celebrates
Anniversary of Victims of Crime Act
DELHI - April 6 marked
the beginning of National
Crime Victim’s Rights Week.
This year’s theme - 30 Years:
Restoring the Balance of Justice - presents a perfect opportunity to remember how far
we have come-and how much
work is yet to be done.
Delaware County Sheriff
Mills is committed to advancing the rights of victims. In
partnership with the New York
State Sheriffs’ Association Institute, the Sheriff’s office offers two programs for victims:
the New York Sheriffs’ Victim Hotline (VINE) and the
SAVIN-NY Order of Protection Notification Program.
“Victims have their basic
human rights of fairness, dignity, and respect stripped away
during a crime,” Sheriff Mills
explained. “And for many of
them, the judicial process further strips away those rights.
We provide these programs
to help restore those rights by
keeping victims informed and
involved in their cases.”
The first, the New York
Sheriffs
Victim
Hotline
(www.VINELink.com), ad-
dresses the right for crime victims to be notified when the
offender who harmed them is
released from jail or prison.
The Sheriffs’ Victim Hotline
gives victims and other concerned citizens around-theclock access to the custody
status of offenders in jail and
provides automated telephone
or e-mail notification to registered victims when an inmate
is released. VINE was created
in 1994 following the murder
of Mary Byron in Louisville,
Kentucky. She and her parents had asked to be notified
when Mary’s ex-boyfriend
was released from jail. They
were never told that he was released, and he murdered Mary
on her 21st birthday.
The second, the SAVIN-NY
Order of Protection Notification Program (www.SAVINNY.com), allows individuals
who have been granted Family Court orders of protection
to register to receive alerts
when those orders are served.
SAVIN-NY was created because the period of time immediately following the service of orders of protection
can be particularly dangerous
for victims, as offenders can
be more violent during a time
of separation. SAVIN-NY allows registered victims to receive notifications of service
24 hours a day, seven days
a week, via text message, email, fax, automated phone
call, web query or iAlertz, a
free application for the iPhone
or iPad.
“Our commitment to reaching every victim of crime is
stronger than ever,” said Joye
E. Frost, Director, Office for
Victims of Crime (OVC), U.
S. Department of Justice. “For
30 years, VOCA has represented hope, healing, and justice. Our message to all victims of crime is this: You are
not alone.”

Sheriffs’ Victim Hotline and
SAVIN-NY Order of Protection Program, contact Lt. Harold Stanton at 607-746-2336,

EASTERN
• A HEARING ON THE
MOTION (AND ANY OBJECTIONS TIMELY FILED)
HAS BEEN SCHEDULED
FOR MAY 28, 2014 AT
11:00 A.M. EASTERN AT
THE U.S. BANKRUPTCY
COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK (SEE ADDRESS
BELOW)
Brief Recitation of Facts:
On January 12, 2009, Tronox Incorporated and certain
of its affiliates (collectively,
the “Debtors”) commenced
chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter
11 Cases”) in the Bankruptcy
Court. On November 30,
2010, the Bankruptcy Court
confirmed the Debtors’ Plan.
On February 14, 2011, the
Plan became effective. In the
Chapter 11 Cases, the United
States, other governmental entities, and other Persons filed
Proofs of Claim against the
Debtors on account of, among
other things, alleged environmental claims, obligations,
and/or liabilities at certain of
the Covered Sites. Various
tort claimants filed Proofs of
Claim against the Debtors on
account of alleged tort liabilities, including for personal
injury and property damage.
Those claims were or will be
resolved pursuant to the Plan,
related tort and environmental agreements, the Litigation
Trust Agreement (“LTA”),
and other prior proceedings of
the Bankruptcy Court.
There are two complaints
against Anadarko currently
being jointly litigated in Tronox Inc., et al. v. Kerr-McGee
Corporation, et al. (In re Tronox Inc.), Adv. Proc. No. 0901198 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.):
1. the Second Amended Adversary Complaint [which
is filed at Case No. 0901198 (ALG), Dkt. No.
233]; and
2. the
Complaint-in-Intervention filed by the United
States [which is filed at
Case No. 09-01198 (ALG),
Dkt. No. 5-2].
The Plan, LTA, and Environmental Settlement Agreement assigned, as provided in
the Confirmation Order and
the LTA, all of the Debtors’
respective rights and interests
in the Adversary Proceeding
(excluding the Complaint-inIntervention), which includes
any claims or causes of action
of the Debtors related to the
Adversary Proceeding, whether or not asserted in the Adversary Proceeding, to the Litigation Trust for the benefit of the
entities listed in Section 1(d)
of the LTA, which include the
Tort Claims Trust, the Cimarron Environmental Response
Trust, the Multistate Environmental Response Trust,
the Nevada Environmental
Response Trust, the Savannah
Environmental Response Trust
(collectively, along with the
West Chicago Environmental
Response Trust, the “Environmental and Tort Trusts”), and
certain governmental entities
that had asserted Bankruptcy
Environmental Claims against
the Debtors (collectively, “Litigation Trust Beneficiaries”).
Pursuant to the Plan, LTA,
Environmental
Settlement
Agreement, and Environmental and Tort Trust Agreements (other than the West
Chicago Environmental Response Trust Agreement), the
Litigation Trust Beneficiaries
and beneficiaries of the Environmental and Tort Trusts
(together with the Litigation
Trust Beneficiaries, the “Beneficiaries”) are entitled to
have paid, on account of their
Bankruptcy
Environmental
Claims and Bankruptcy Tort
Claims, specified allocations
of a share of the net proceeds
of any recovery from the Adversary Proceeding.
On December 12, 2013, the
Bankruptcy Court issued its
Memorandum Opinion, After
Trial, finding the Anadarko
Trial Defendants liable under
the Second Amended Adversary Complaint for actual and
constructive fraudulent conveyances, but not liable for
breach of fiduciary duty. The
Decision is not a final judgment
and the Bankruptcy Court did
not enter final judgment.
On April 3, 2014, the Parties entered into the Settlement Agreement that resolves
the Adversary Proceeding and
provides for releases, covenants not to sue, and the issuance of an injunction by a
U.S. District Court enjoining
certain persons from asserting Trust Derivative Claims
and any claims that are duplicative of such Trust Derivative Claims (as defined in
the Settlement Agreement).
On April 3, 2014, the United
States lodged the Settlement
Agreement with the Bankruptcy Court. On approximately
April 14, 2014 the United
States will publish a notice for
public comment thereon in the
Federal Register.
On April 9, 2014, the Litigation Trust and Anadarko filed
a motion (the “9019 Recommendation Motion”) with the
Bankruptcy Court, seeking the
Report and Recommendation.
The Settlement Agreement settles, compromises,
resolves and closes the Adversary Proceeding and settles,
compromises, resolves, and
extinguishes the Trust Derivative Claims, any claims that
were asserted or that could
have been asserted in the
Second Amended Adversary
Complaint, and the claims asserted in the Complaint-in-Intervention and the claims that
could have been asserted in
the Complaint-in-Intervention
relating to the subject matter
of the Adversary Proceeding, together and on a global
basis to the extent provided
in the Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, within two Business Days after the Effective
Date, Anadarko shall cause to
be paid to the Litigation Trust
$5.15 billion plus Interest. The
Litigation Trust shall cause
the Settlement Proceeds to be
allocated and distributed to the
Litigation Trust Beneficiaries
consistent with the LTA. The
Litigation Trust succeeded to,
as of and after the Plan Effective Date, any and all claims
against the Anadarko Released
Parties related to the claims,
issues and subject matter of
the Adversary Proceeding
which were held, owned and/
or controlled by one or more
Debtors before the Plan Effective Date. Since the Plan
Effective Date, the Litigation
Trust has not sold, assigned,
transferred, encumbered, hypothecated, abandoned, conveyed or otherwise disposed
of any claims received by the
Litigation Trust from Debtors
pursuant to the Plan.
Proposed Permanent
Injunction:
The movants have requested that the following
permanent injunction be issued by the District Court:
“Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§§ 1367 & 1651, § 105(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code and
Bankruptcy Rules 7001 and
7065, (i) any Debtor(s), (ii)
any creditor of any Debtor
who filed or could have filed
a claim in the Chapter 11
Cases, (iii) any other Person
whose claim (A) in any way
arises from or is related to
the Adversary Proceeding,
(B) is a Trust Derivative
Claim, or (C) is duplicative of a Trust Derivative
Claim, and (iv) any Person
acting or purporting to act
as an attorney for any of the
preceding is hereby permanently enjoined from asserting against any Anadarko
Released Party (I) any Trust
Derivative Claims or (II) any
claims that are duplicative
of Trust Derivative Claims,
whether or not held or controlled by the Litigation
Trust, or whether or not the
Litigation Trust could have
asserted such claims against
any Anadarko Released
Party. The injunction herein shall not apply to or bar
the following: (i) any criminal liability; (ii) any liability
arising under Title 26 of the
United States Code (Internal
Revenue Code) or state tax
laws; (iii) any liability arising under federal or state securities laws; (iv) any action
to enforce a covenant not to
sue, release, or agreement
not to seek reimbursement
contained in the Settlement
Agreement; (v) any liability
that an Anadarko Released
Party might have that does
not arise from or through a
liability of a Debtor; (vi) any
liability of an Anadarko Released Party due to its status
or acts or omissions since November 28, 2005 as a/an (A)
owner, (B) operator, (C) discharger, (D) lessee, (E) permittee, (F) licensee, (G) person in charge, (H) holder of
a right of use and easement,
(I) arranger for disposal or
treatment, (J) transporter,
or (K) person who generates,
handles, transports, treats,
stores or disposes of solid or
hazardous waste; (vii) any
liability relating to the E&P
Business or the stored power
or battery business (including, but not limited to, as
owned or operated by U.S.
Avestor LLC and Kerr-McGee Stored Power Company
LLC1); and (viii) any liability
that any Anadarko Released
Party retained, received or
assumed pursuant to the Assignment Agreement or Assignment, Assumption, and
Indemnity Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, to
the extent that a liability of
an Anadarko Released Party
excluded from the injunction
herein by the preceding sentence would be a liability for
which such Anadarko Released Party would be jointly and severally liable with
others, including but not
limited to one or more Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, under applicable law,
nothing in this injunction is
intended to alter any such
applicable principles of joint
and several liability where
otherwise provided by law.
The injunction herein does
not apply to the Litigation
Trust and the United States,
which are providing releases
and covenants not to sue in
the Settlement Agreement.”

Handchime Open House to Be Held at
Bainbridge First United Methodist Church
BAINBRIDGE - Area
youth, their families and interested community members are
invited to learn about handchime ringing at an open house
on Wednesday, April 23 from
3:30-4:30 p.m. at the First
United Methodist Church, 27
North Main St., Bainbridge.
The open house is being hosted by the Children’s
Chime Choir. Choir members
will share what they have
learned about handchime
ringing, as well as play songs
that they have practiced and
played in church. This open
house will be a great opportunity to ask questions and find
out what handchime ringing is
all about. In addition, guests
will be encouraged to pick up
a chime and ring it.
The Children’s Chime Choir
began five years ago with
the mission of being a music
ministry for the youth of the
church, and of the local community, as well. Area youth
in second grade and beyond
practice together, after school
once a week, from September
to May. They are members of
a very unique team, and it is
quite an accomplishment to
prepare a piece of music to
ring for others. The Children’s
Chime Choir prepares songs
to ring during worship, especially Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday services.
Each year some of our
oldest members move on to
other afterschool activities.
This year, we were fortunate
to have a few of them return
as their schedules allowed.
With the combination of veteran ringers and some brave
adults from the congregation,
including Pastor Gary Kubitz, we were able to prepare
a challenging piece for Palm
Sunday, Hosanna!
If you know an area youth
who will be entering second
grade or beyond in the fall,
and loves music, please pass
along the information. Additional information will be
available at the open house

Volunteer fire departments
across New York State will
open their doors and fire truck
bays to local residents during the weekend of Saturday,
April 26 and Sunday, April
27 as part of the fourth annual
RecruitNY statewide volunteer firefighter recruitment effort. RecruitNY is designed to
help increase volunteer membership, which has suffered
over the last few years due to
various factors including the
state of the economy.
During RecruitNY weekend, fire departments will conduct tours of their firehouses
and fire apparatus, allow visitors to try on turnout gear, and
provide visitor activities and
stations throughout the firehouse. Members will discuss
the volunteer requirements
and rewards that come with
being a volunteer firefighter,
as well as conduct demonstrations, answer questions,
and let visitors know how
to go about joining their fire
department.
“Last year, nearly 600
departments in 59 counties
across the state participated
in RecruitNY and we expect
even more counties to get involved this year,” said James
A. Burns, president of the
Firemen’s Association of the
State of New York (FASNY).
“We encourage departments
to sign up to let their communities know of their participation. RecruitNY has proven a
success in past years and is a
key initiative to help bolster
membership numbers so fire
departments can continue to
provide the optimum level
of protection to their local
residents.”
Established in 2011, RecruitNY is a joint undertaking
by the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York
(FASNY), the New York State
Association of Fire
Chiefs
(NYSAFC), Association of
Fire Districts of New York
State, Volunteer Fire Police
Association of the State of
New York, and County Fire
Coordinators Association of
the State of New York.
For fire departments that
would like to sign up for RecruitNY, simply log on to
www.recruitny.org/signup
and fill out the participation
form. The program provides
fire departments with access to recruitment resources,
communication tools, posters,
banners, etc. via http://recruitny.org/resources.php to help a
firehouse hold a recruitment
open house.
For area residents looking
for more information, or to
find out if your fire department
is participating in RecruitNY,
visit www.recruitny.org or
contact your local fire department via a non-emergency
phone number or its website.
In addition to the annual
RecruitNY campaign, FASNY is in the midst of a multiyear, year-round volunteer
firefighter recruitment and
retention program across New
York State made possible by
a $4.2 million United States
Department of Homeland Security Staffing for Adequate
Fire and Emergency Response
(SAFER) grant that began in
2011. To learn more about the

name plates on the plaque. We
are inviting individuals, families, organizations, and businesses to participate in this
venture. There will be different size plates for the different
categories of donations. The
four categories will be: $25$49, $50-$99, $100-$499, and
$500 and over.
All donations or checks
should be made payable to;
“Sidney Center Fire District”
and marked “Building Fund”
and mailed to Lucille Dewey,
Sidney Center Fire Commissioner Treasurer, P.O.
Box 431, Sidney Center, NY

new building is not just to park
the fire trucks and ambulance
in, it is for the Fire District,
which is you. This new building is something for youto be
proud of in your community. It
is a plus for everyone. Please

provide funding to purchase
additional homes in the lower River Street area and help
them relocate to safer areas.”
Mayor Matviak said the
vacant land will then become
green space that will reduce
the impact of future storms in
the rest of the village.
“I want to also thank our
local New York State Rising
Committee and River Street
Planning for working on the
plan that made these grants
possible,” the mayor said.
The second part of the award
-- $6.5 million – goes toward
the plan’s buyout program.
Some 73 properties in Sidney
have been identified. According to the State, properties are
considered substantially damaged when they sustain flood
damages that equal or exceed
50 percent of their pre-flood
Fair Market Value, as determined by local agencies.
Through the buyout, eligible owners will be able to sell
their properties to the State,
receiving the opportunity to
relocate to higher and safer
grounds.
Following State purchases,
the properties are then used
for environmental purposes
including open space, stormwater management and flood
protection, thereby creating a
natural buffer.
During the buyout and acquisition process, consideration is also given to a range
of local recovery and revitalization plans and historic pres-

communities.
Authorized by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, the program aims to
increase the State’s resiliency, mitigate the risks of loss
and damage associated with
future disasters, and reduce
hardship.
“As extreme weather becomes increasingly routine,
we must not only rebuild New
York but build it back stron-

the safety of our citizens,”
Governor Cuomo said. “This
vital program enables communities to think creatively about
preparing for future storms,
bolstering infrastructures and
helping to revive local economies in the process.”

of Hurricane Irene, Tropical
Storm Lee and Superstorm
Sandy,
FEMA

HMGP funds for states to administer grant programs that
support local hazard mitigation planning and long-term
hazard mitigation measures
to reduce the loss of life and
damage to improved property
