The board will hold their regular monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Masonville Town Hall. The following committees were named: Insurance and Legal - Betty Scott, chair and Craig DuMond; Codes and Ordinances - Steve Roff, chair and Jeri Brayman; Highway Committee - Craig DuMond, chair and Betty Scott; and Building and Grounds - Jeri Brayman, chair and Steve Roff.

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

January - National Get Organized Month FREE Check List to Get you Started www.getcomfortablyorganized.weebly.com PAM PRENTICE, PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER Bainbridge, NY 607-967-3650 [email protected] Grinch Strikes Afton $100 Reward Offered AFTON - The Grinch struck Afton this year when three painted figures from the creche (manger scene) at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church were stolen. These figures were Mary and the Baby Jesus, the shepherd and a lamb. The figures were cut out and painted by two former parishioners, over 40 years ago and both of them are now deceased. They have no intrinsic value to anyone but St. Ann’s Church for the manger scene. The church is offering a $100 cash reward, no questions asked, for information leading to the recovery of these stolen figures. Here is a picture of the complete manger scene, before the theft. Agencies Help Families Learn About Tax Credits HAMDEN - The Delaware Opportunities Inc. Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) program is working with the Early Care and Learning Council’s outreach campaign to ensure that low and moderate income families are aware of and claim available federal and state income tax credits. Eligible families could receive thousands of dollars from federal and state income tax credits. Federal and state tax credits can help offset the cost of child care and other expenses for families. For 2014, families in New York may be eligible for a number of federal tax credits including: • Up to $2100 from the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit and up to $2310 from the New York State Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit; • Up to $6143 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit and up to $1843 from the New York State Earned Income Tax Credit; • Up to $1000 per child from the federal Child Care Tax Credit and up to $300 per child from the Empire State Child Tax Credit; • A premium Tax Credit to help purchase health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. • To get help paying for health insurance in 2015, a Premium Tax Credit is available as soon as health insurance is accessed through the Marketplace. Most people need to sign up by February 2015. For more information, log onto www.healthcare.gov or call (800) 318-2596. • If health insurance was purchased through the Marketplace in 2014 and an advance payment of the Premium Tax Credit was received, a 2014 tax return must be filed. These tax credits can help families make ends meet, but a tax return must be filed to claim these credits. The Delaware Opportunities CCR&R program aims to help more families learn about the benefits of these credits so they don’t miss out. Families can call the IRS toll free at (800) 906-9887 or log onto their website at http://irs.treasury.gov/freetaxprep/ to find out where they can get free help with filing their taxes. Families can also contact the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance at (518) 457-5171 or AARP Tax-Aide toll free at (888) AARP-NOW or (888) 227-7669.

Paden...................................Publisher Nancy Sue Burns.........................................Editor Anna Ritchey.......................Advertising Manager Senator Libous: My Priorities for 2015 On Wednesday, I was sworn in to serve another term in the State Senate and I’m ready to get to work in Albany for the people I represent. Here are my priorities for the new Legislative Session: Mental Health and Developmental Disability Services I’m still fighting for jobs and services at both the Greater Binghamton Health Center and the Broome Developmental Center. These facilities and the services they provide are vital to families in our community. They need to be protected. Economic Growth and Opportunity We still need an authorized casino license for the true Southern Tier. The NYS Gaming Commission recently agreed to consider granting a fourth license for our region. That’s encouraging news, and I hope the Commission acts swiftly in the coming weeks. Our community deserves this opportunity and we need the jobs. A new casino is a start, but it isn’t enough. Our area is hurting for growth and opportunity. We need more in- centives to attract new businesses, jobs and careers to the Southern Tier. Binghamton University The new BU School of Pharmacy could be a catalyst for new jobs and revitalization in Johnson City. I’ll work with the Governor and my colleagues in Albany to make sure this project keeps moving forward. The University is an asset in our community and I believe there’s more untapped economic potential. Budget and Taxes We need to pass the State’s fifth consecutive on-time budget. We need to stay under our self-imposed 2% spending cap and the Budget needs to include no new taxes I’d also like to accelerate tax cuts so middle class taxpayers can get relief as quickly as possible. Police Safety The recent deaths of two NYPD officers raised serious safety concerns for those charged with keeping us safe. Police officers have a difficult and dangerous job to do; I’ll keep working with our local officials to provide the support and resources police need to help protect themselves and our community. Pro-Lifers Urged to Take Part In Right to Life March Jan. 22 NORWICH - Arrangements have been made for pro-lifers to take part in the 42nd Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C Thursday, Jan. 22.

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS SIDNEY 25 YEARS AGO January 17, 1990 The new Sidney Fire Department Training and Conference Center is nearing completion. The wiring and plumbing work should be all finished early this month. The air conditioning and heating ducts are all in place. Thanks to John Payne, the 20-ton air conditioner is in place on the rear roof and the new furnace and hot water tank are all ready to hook up to the electricity and the water line. By early spring weather, we should be about ready to hold bingo, public dinners and our meetings. Sidney Lady Warriors dump Windsor to tie for first place. SIDNEY 50 YEARS AGO January 20. 1965 Paving and curbing the area adjacent to the V.F.W. building, known as the Hillcrest sub-division, has provided improvements for lots that are unusually desirable. As the year closed, village men were busily engaged in removing tree stumps for the right of way for a new street in the sub-division of the lands of the former Campmeeting grounds. Final plans for a sewage treatment plant were completed and filed and an application made for State and Federal Aid for the construction thereof. An exceeding rainless summer proved the wisdom of the village engineer and past village boards in providing for wells in the vicinity of Riverside Park. BAINBRIDGE 25 YEARS AGO January 17, 1990 At the Jan. 8 meeting of the Bainbridge Village Board, it was explained that the Master Plan will include conducting a community survey with the help of the planning and development agency with or without a student intern. The Master Plan will involve a layout of zoning for the community, encompassing the economics as to what direction community development should take. According to Trustee Prouty, spokesman for the project, things to be included in the plan are streetscaping and building façade work on Main St., village park improvements, the new recreation facility, and further development at General Clinton Park. A fire Sunday night damaged a four-unit apartment house at 18 Pearl St. Bainbridge and left three families homeless. New officers for the Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce are Mark Watkins, president; Doris Bame, secretary; and Ernie Castelli, treasurer. BAINBRIDGE 50 YEARS AGO January 13, 1965 Francis A. Demeree, chairman of the Chenango County Chamber of Commerce pollution abatement committee has written to Governor Rockefeller congratulating him on his sewage treatment financing plan. The governor’s proposal follows lines recommended by the pollution abatement committee of the Chenango County Chamber of Commerce. The annual spring show of the Bainbridge Rotary Club, “Mardi-Gras,” will be held March 5 and 6 at the high school auditorium. The director will be Rev. Roy Dancer with Fran Chunglo as production manager and Carl Hutchinson as assistant production manager. Jan. 12, 1950 – New officers of the Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce are William Davidson, president; Harold E. Sherman, vice president; Foster Darlin, secretary; Harry Bluler, treasurer. William S. Payne, Bainbridge Chief of Police, was elected president of the newly formed Chenango County Law Enforcement Officers Association at the organization meeting Wednesday night held at the Chenango County Courthouse in Norwich. UNADILLA 25 YEARS AGO January 17, 1990 Bill Swart of Unadilla was named “Owner of the Year” Saturday night at the Five Mile Point Speedway banquet held at the Fountain Pavilion in Johnson City. Bill Swart is one of only two people left from 1970 when the fourcylinder modifieds started to run at the Point. According to most track personnel, Swart was the unanimous choice of all and everyone felt that there was no better choice than Swart. UNADILLA 50 YEARS AGO January 13, 1965 Postmaster General John A. Gronouski announced that a contract has been awarded to Everett B. Wells of 65 Pleasant St., Norwich, to build the new post office in Unadilla and lease it to the Post Office Department. The new building, located on the west side of Bridge St., approximately I have been wondering if it is wise to put “all of our eggs in one basket” so to speak and accept the concept that we can improve our communities financially by investing in the gas pipelines that carry fracked gas. Will it give us the long-term benefits we are hoping for, or are we investing in a dying fossil fuel energy? I believe these questions are important to ask for the sake of our families, our children and grandchildren and for the land and life we leave for them. The Rockefeller family knows how to handle money. They made their wealth in oil. Now the Rockefellers are divesting from fossil fuels. Why would they do this? Why are so many people divesting from fossil fuels? Should we? Fourteen years ago the oil minister of Saudi Arabia, a nation that controls enormous portions of global reserves, said in an interview: “Thirty years from now there will be a huge amount of oil, and no buyers. Oil will be left in the ground. The Stone Age came to an end, not because we had a lack of stones, and the oil age will come to an end not because we have a lack of oil.” It seems that Cabot Oil and Gas Corp share prices are down. What does this mean for us locally? Will the company make enough money drilling to keep their company profits high? We remember that once people used Whale Oil for energy. That became obsolete. Then we began using oil and gas for energy about 150 years ago. Is that becoming obsolete? I ask myself, “Is the gas and oil industry the new whale oil industry?” Are gas and oil yesterday’s energy? If so, I believe we should be investing in the clean renewable energies of tomorrow. Let’s ask ourselves these questions and find the best answers for our community.

Unadilla 60 feet south of Main St., will represent an estimated total investment of $50,000 by the successful bidder. It will be leased to the department for 10 years with four separate and consecutive five-year renewal options, at an annual rental of $5,175 for the basic term. Jan. 15, 1960 – On Jan. 13, 1960 the Unadilla and Otego Central School boards of education met to discuss recent communications from the State Education Department regarding the shortage of physical facilities in both districts. The boards resolved to re-study the educational advantages of a larger unit in order to offer a more enriched curriculum for pupils in both districts. In the near future, a group from the schools involved will meet in Albany to prepare a six year cost study based on the construction of a senior high school. It currently appears that considerable savings can be effected over the study presented to the people last year. Tri-Town News — Thursday, January 15, 2015— 5 MASONVILLE NEWS PET OF THE WEEK ANNE SCOTT, CORRESPONDENT TELEPHONE 265-3368 Quote of the Week The Quote of the Week is from Arthur C. Clarke: “The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.” This could be about taking the little chances that we worry about and don’t know the outcome of, maybe in our daily lives.

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

THE AFTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY REMEMBERS “THE WAY WE WERE” AFTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY 116 South Main Street Afton, NY 13730 HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,120 by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian JANUARY 2015 The Afton Historical Society has a history dating back for several decades. The Historical Rooms were located on the second floor of the old Village Hall, a former hotel. The display area was upstairs over the Afton Hose Company room, which later became the Afton Free Library. In 1982 the Town of Afton celebrated its 125th anniversary. Part of the celebration was the dedication of the McNayer House as the official home of the Afton Historical Collection. It was to be called the Isabelle House after noted Afton resident, Isabelle Jennings. She died on May 19, 1964 and her collection of dolls, miniature elephants, The McNayer House, next to Horton and other items had been left to the Historical Hardware, was once the home of the Rooms. They still grace the shelves of the display Isabelle House Association Museum. cabinets in the Afton Museum. Photo from Margaret Guy from Afton The use of the McNayer House was granted by Museum. Charles Gaydorus of Horton Hardware. It had at one time been a tourist home owned by the McNayers. Their small sign is now in the window of the Afton museum. The house was being refurbished with paint and period wallpaper by volunteer labor. A photo of that time shows a flax wheel, a large spinning wheel, chairs, several baskets, and a cupboard containing Isabelle’s collection of miniature elephants. On July 9, 1982, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the Isabelle House to celebrate the opening. Afton Mayor Marjorie Mudge and Town Supervisor Glenn Swart presided at the dedication. Others participating were Charles Decker, Town Historian; Charles Gaydorus, owner of the building; and the officers of the Isabelle House Association. They included Lynnette Baciuska, President; Mildred Scott, Vice President; Toni Weller, Treasurer; Thelma Brown, Secretary; and Pat Stafford, Museum Director. A few years later, the Horton Hardware building was expanded onto the Isabelle House site and Charles Gaydorus had the building razed. Artifacts were placed in storage until the present Afton Museum House was acquired. Recently, several active members have been refurbishing the rooms and re-arranging exhibits. It is now very attractive and informative about Afton’s history. It is open Saturdays from Memorial Day to Labor Day or by appointment. An historical society is very important for preserving and presenting history.

The route follows the alignment of the 230 kV #30 line, which continues to share the right-of-way with the two NYPA 345 kV lines for approximately 1.8 miles. The two NYPA 345 kV lines diverge south from the 230 kV #30 line and the #30 line continues within its own rightof-way in a southeasterly and then easterly direction for approximately 3.0 miles, at which point it rejoins the 230 kV #31 line. The route continues in a southeasterly-easterly direction within the 200-footwide right-of-way of the #30 and #31 lines through Herkimer County.

The route crosses Interstate 88 (I-88) about 5 miles south of Princetown Junction, just west of where I-88 ends at the New York State Thruway (I90),About 1 mile south of the I-88 crossing, the Rotterdam to New Scotland 115 kV #13 line joins the 590-foot-wide right-of-way and the route turns due south and continues into Albany County. Also from Princetown Junction, the Princetown to Rotterdam portion of the segment runs easterly within a 200foot wide right-of-way for a distance of 2.2 miles, crossing Pattersonville-Rynex Corners Road (County Road 3P) and Upper Gregg Road. The route then turns slightly east for a distance of 2.0 miles, where it meets the National Grid #10 and #12 lines. The route then turns southeast and continues as a 300-foot wide right-of-way for a distance of 0.9 miles, crossing I-90, and terminating at the Rotterdam Substation. The total distance in Schenectady County is approximately 17.4 miles; 3.8 miles in the Town of Duanesburg, 9.9 miles in the Town of Princetown, and 3.7 miles in the Town of Rotterdam. In Albany County the route crosses U.S. Route 20 in the Town of Guilderland, continues due south just to the east of the Orchard Creek Golf Club, then turns southeast and continues within the existing 345 kV corridor, which is reduced to a 450-foot-wide right-of-way for a distance of approximately 2 miles in the town of Guilderland. The route follows this corridor to the New Scotland Substation in the town of New Scotland. The total distance in Albany County is approximately 12.1 miles, with 6.7 miles in the Town of Guilderland and 5.4 miles in the Town of New Scotland.

A copy of the Additional Submission Materials filed with the Commission will be served upon the chief executive officers of the Counties of Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Oneida, Herkimer, Montgomery, Schenectady, Albany, Rensselaer, Columbia, Ulster, Dutchess, and Greene; the Towns of Afton, Athens, Bainbridge, Barker, Catskill, Chenango, Coventry, Coxsackie, Delhi, Franklin, Greene, Greenport, Hamden, Hyde Park, Maine, Masonville, New Baltimore, Sidney, Union, Walton, Marcy, Deerfield, Schuyler, Frankfort, German Flatts, Stark, Danube, Minden, Canajoharie, Root, Glen, Charleston, Florida, Duanesburg, Princetown, Guilderland, New Scotland, Bethlehem, Coeymans, Schodack, Stuyvesant, Stockport, Ghent, Claverack, Livingston, Gallatin, Clermont, Milan, Clinton, Pleasant Valley, Rotterdam, Little Falls and Ulster; and the Village of Athens (the municipalities traversed by the proposed routes). GENERAL INFORMATION The remaining proposals offered for comparative evaluation by the Applicants (the “Remaining Proposals”) will address persistent congestion on portions of the New York State electric transmission system in accordance with the goals set forth in the Commission’s December 16, 2014 Order and preceding Orders. As the Additional Submission Materials will set forth in greater detail, the Remaining Proposals consist of changes to previously proposed segments or newly proposed segments which may be arranged as follows as nine separate proposals: (1) a modification to the October 1, 2013 project proposal including a slight revision to the proposed route and structure-type changes for the proposed 345kV Oakdale to Fraser Line, and the elimination of the transmission line between New Scotland substation and Knickerbocker substation in the Edic to Pleasant Valley proposed project; (2) the Knickerbocker to Pleasant Valley proposal; (3) the Leeds to Pleasant Valley reconductoring proposal ; Edic to New Scotland Segment. The portion of this segment between Edic and Princetown Junction (a right-of-way intersection in the Town of Princetown, Schenectady County as described further below) starts at the existing 345 kV Edic Substation in the Town of Marcy, Oneida County. The scope of work consists of the removal of two existing 230 kV lines and the construction of a new 345 kV line within approximately 66.8 miles of existing ROW. For approximately 12.6 miles out of Edic Substation, this will involve the removal of one set of 230 kV wires and insulators from each of the two existing 230/345 kV double-circuit tubular steel monopoles and the installation of one set of 345 kV wires and insulators to one of them. For the remaining approximately 54.2 miles, the two existing 230 kV Hframe structure lines will be removed and replaced with one new 345 kV line consisting predominately of H-frame structures. New 345 kV tubular steel monopole structures will be used intermittently through this segment for approximately 5.4 miles in total. All work at the existing 345 kV Edic Substation will be within the existing fenceline. This segment terminates at Princetown Junction. The Edic to Princetown segment passes through the towns of Marcy and Deerfield in Oneida County, the towns of Schuyler, Frankfort, German Flatts, Little Falls, Stark, and Danube in Herkimer County, the towns of Minden, Canajoharie, Root, Glen, Charleston, and Florida, in Montgomery County, and the towns of Duanesburg and Princetown, in Schenectady County.

(Continued from Page 8) John Wroblewski SANFORD - John Wroblewski, age 71, of Sanford, passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015 after a valiant 80day battle against pancreatic cancer. John was born to Alexander and Anna (Zielinska) Wroblewski on May 23, 1943 in Budysiennickie, Poland. On Oct. 30, 1966, he was married to Mary Gerwatowski in Poland. In 1967, John moved from his native Poland to the United States, settling in Clifton, N.J. with Mary. He worked for Highway Body Trucking Co., North Bergen, N.J for 10 years, Oneida Motor Freight, Halstead, N.J. for 10 years; and in 2002, retired as a foreman from C.B. Finkle in Clifton, N.J., after 18 years of service. They were dedicated members of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Passaic, N.J. In 2012, John and Mary moved to Sanford and have been members of St. Agnes/ St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church since. John loved to watch soccer and was a “jack of all trades”, puttering around the house and property. He especially loved his “baby”, a 1989 Chevy. John is survived by his wife of 48 years, Mary Wroblewski; and his beloved puppy, Daisy; a sister, Jadwiga (Ted) Zakszewski and their daughters, Margaret and husband and children and Hanna and son, all of Poland; a halfsister, Barbara Szadkowski and husband and son; three half-brothers, Walter Wroblewski and wife and sons, Kristopher Wroblewski and wife and sons, and Mark Wroblewski, his daughter and her NEWS FROM N.Y. STATE SENATOR JAMES L. SEWARD Winter Weather Advisory A Column of News & Comment by Senator James L. Seward Here in upstate New York we pride ourselves on our ability to battle (and overcome) winter weather. When we turn on the television and see news reports showing people in a southern state struggling with a rare snow storm, most of us chuckle a bit. Even with our well-honed skills at the ready, a quick refresher on a few lifesaving tips and available resources is always beneficial. The New York State Office of Emergency Management is a one stop shop for winter safety advice. The site, www. semo.state.ny.us, is filled with useful information like the difference between a winter storm warning, watch and advisory; steps to winterize your home, techniques to clear snow from your roof, and how to protect your water pipes from freezing. The site also offers some important winter driving tips and what to do if you are trapped on the road during a blizzard: • Stay in your car and wait for help to find you; • Run your engine for short periods of time to stay warm. Keep your downwind window open and make sure your exhaust pipe is clear of snow; • Turn on the dome light at night when you are running the engine to signal rescuers; • Hang a brightly colored piece of cloth or piece of clothing from your car; • Exercise from time to time by vigorously moving arms, legs, fingers and toes to keep blood circulating and to keep warm. New Yorkers can also access a pair of excellent safety tools from home or on the go. The state Department of Transportation maintains the 511 New York system which includes a free mobile device application that provides New Yorkers with up-to-theminute information regarding traffic, transit and emergency service notifications as well as weather advisories. Information can be found on-line at www.511ny.org. Additionally, the New York State Emergency Management Office operates the NY Alert website which contains critical emergency-related information including severe weather warnings, significant highway closures, hazardous materials spills, and many other emergency conditions. Additionally you will find information regarding response actions being taken by local and state agencies and protective actions that you should take to protect you, your family and your property. Warnings and emergency information can also be sent directly to your cell phone, email and other technologies. For more information, and to sign up for alerts, check the website, www.nyalert.gov. One other specific cold weather concern is a power outage. Heavy snow can drop tree limbs on power lines, knocking out service for hours or even days. Ice storms can also wreak havoc. With that in mind, here are several suggestions from the New York State Public Service Commission to help ensure health and safety if you fall victim to a lengthy, unexpected power outage: • Stay warm by dressing in layers and minimizing your time outdoors; • Know the mental and physical signs of hypothermia (shivering, drowsiness) and how to treat it (wrap the person in warm clothing, move the individual to a warm location and seek medical attention); • Hang blankets over windows and doorways to insulate your home; • If you have a working fireplace, use it for heat or light, but be sure to keep the damper open for ventilation; • Open your faucets to a steady drip so pipes don’t freeze; • Stay nourished. Food provides needed energy and drinking helps you avoid dehydration; • Never use a charcoal grill inside or a gas stove for heat as they give off potentially harmful levels of carbon monoxide; • If using a generator, place it outside for proper ventilation. Turn off the main electric breaker before using the generator to prevent electricity from traveling to otherwise deenergized electrical lines outside your house and possibly injuring repair crews; • Check on neighbors with special needs. By keeping all of these thoughts in mind you can stay safe throughout the winter season.

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