The Village of Franklin broke ground on several community revitalization projects, (To Be Continued Next Week) SIDNEY – Voters in the Sidney Central School District will cast their ballots on a $7.7 million capital project Tuesday, Jan. 15. Voting will take place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the lobby outside the high school auditorium. There are two propositions on the ballot. Proposition I is on a plan developed by the Sidney Board of Education to meet infrastructure and site improvement needs. This referendum is for a capital improvement project not to exceed $7,699,000 and includes installing new athletic fields and track to address poor conditions and drainage issues, and upgrading the auditorium including stage rigging, lighting, seating, finishes, handicap accessibility and sound system. It also includes improving the energy efficiency of aging HVAC systems at the middle school by centralizing boilers for the elementary and middle school and installing new hot water piping and a new unit ventilator in the middle school. To cover the estimated $7.7 million cost the district anticipates receiving 71.41 per cent or $5,497,615 from State and EXCEL aid. The Expanding our Children’s Education and Learning (EXCEL) aid is additional state building aid and is a NY State grant to offset the local share of the building project. The district also has $1,500,000 in reserve funds. This leaves 9.11 per cent or $701,385 for the local share of the cost. On a $100,000 home the approximate cost on the annual tax bill would be about $4. It was pointed out that if the voters approve the proposition, the district can not exceed the $7.7 million figure. Proposition II calls for the establishment of a Capital Reserve Fund not to exceed $1,500,00 and for the duration of ten years. This proposition is not related to the capital improvement project and there is no tax impact for Proposition II. The Capital Reserve Fund would assist the district in planning for infrastructure upgrades while minimizing the burden on taxpayers. It can be compared to a savings account and can only be used for capital improvements approved by voters. The funds come from budget savings and unappropriated fund balances from the general fund. The original date for the vote was Oct. 30, 2012. However, due to Hurricane Sandy the vote was cancelled and the voting was rescheduled for Jan. 15, 2013. At that time, District Superintendent Bill Christensen said that nothing changed financially in the project and the scope and project budgets would remain the same. Local Girl Is Winner of Two World Titles BAINBRIDGE - Jenna Nordberg of Bainbridge brought home two Reserve World titles from the Morgan Grand National and World Championships in Oklahoma City, Okla. Jenna, 12, has been training at Lingering Hills Stable in Bainbridge for the last four years. Jenna competed through the year at many Morgan and multi-breed horse shows with the family horse, MEM Star Power affectionately called “Earl”. Jenna and Earl blazed a blue ribbon trail last year in the Walk and Trot division as a new team. At the end of last year, they decided to leave the Bainbridge C of C Plans Winter Fest, Sleigh Ride BAINBRIDGE – The Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce has put in their order for snow….and more snow, as they get ready for their Winter Fest and Sleigh Rally to be held on Saturday, Jan. 26. All ages are invited to come to the General Clinton Park between 1 and 3 p.m. for outdoor fun. There will be hot chocolate, chili and popcorn, as well as a fire to warm you up. Put the date on your calendar, and think snow. Walk/Trot division a year early and move up to Walk, Trot and Canter, where the young team would be competing against other riders as old as 18 years of age and horses that have been performing in equitation for many years. Jenna and Earl worked hard through the winter with trainers Travis and Mari Neidlinger on learning patterns and precision in their riding. Rider and horse learned together which created a solid and formidable team. Jenna also trained with Scott and Danielle Neidlinger at Misty Meadows Farm in Conn. where at times she rode up to 10 horses in one day while also receiving equitation lessons. Last year Jenna brought home a Grand National title in the Walk and Trot division for Misty Meadows, riding their beautiful mare Fury’s Fortune who is now at home at Lingering Hill Stables. While in Oklahoma City, the two competed against teams from all over the US and Canada and they were the youngest pair in their classes, since they made the early move to this very competitive division. Jenna presented herself as well as any seasoned equitation rider, as Earl carried Jenna confidently, upheaded and strong to their two reserve world titles. Equitation riders are judged on total body position that is to be maintained during the walk, trot and canter. This is a discipline based on precision and neatness for both rider and horse. Jenna trained as any athlete for this huge competition. She would hold 5 lb. weights out straight at arms length while riding a horse, and at the end of many lessons would have bloody knees from practicing with no stirrups while riding a horse.

There was surprisingly very few in attendance, apparently because of illness, forgetting the date or other personal reasons. We did, however, welcome two new members, Allen Lorenzen and Mike Fletcher. Both were sponsored by Lou Palumbo of Afton and we are grateful to Lou for bringing them into our club. Everyone introduced themselves and told what antique cars they possessed. Hopefully, these new members will also suggest others to join with us. We are grateful to have some “new younger blood” join with us and felt bad that they didn’t get the opportunity to meet a lot of our regular members. Lou mentioned that he has a ’95 Jeep Cherokee for sale if any member was interested. There were 38 people in attendance at our Christmas dinner in December and everyone enjoyed themselves. This meeting was to have been our election of officers, but because of so few attending, it was decided to hold this off until the next meeting on Feb. 3. New officers don’t go into effect until March. Ernie Whitaker reported that now that the Meals on Wheels is no longer being provided at the museum because of poor attendance, the set up at the museum is being changed. It is proposed to make the back half of the museum into a meeting room with a horseshoe table arrangement and buffet being served from the counters. This will also make it much warmer in the cooler months. The museum has grown and looks forward to being able to display some of the newer contributions appropriately. Following the buffet and brief meeting, Charlie Davis introduced a dice game to some of the members who seemed to enjoy it and proposes that they might like to have this kind of entertainment after each meeting. The usual yearly events were mentioned and it was also suggested that we might have a cruise or a rally in warmer weather. The next meeting will be Feb. 3 at 1:30 p.m. at the Bainbridge Museum and we will have election of officers, so please plan on attending. Everyone is invited to come and join us in our buffet/informal meeting and see what we are all about. We hope to see our club continue to grow.

Pictured (l-r) are Myles Harrington, Lawrence “Bunker” Halbert, Denny Kenny and Wayne Zahn. Veterans Wear Navy Flat Hats on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day SIDNEY – Four Navy Veterans donned the once traditional Navy Flat Hats at the Sidney American Legion Post on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Friday, Dec. 7. The four included Myles Harrington, Dennis Kenny, Wayne Zahn and Sidney resident Lawrence “Bunker” Halbert. Lawrence Bunker Halbert enlisted in the United States Navy in 1948. A worthy note is that he joined the Navy Active Reserves when he was a junior in high school. Also in the summer of ’48, he went to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. The Navy Flat Hat might appear a bit odd today, but the dark blue “flat hat” of the past still evokes fond memories among sailors and is very much a part of U. S. Navy tradition. /=4]fE][S\¸a6SOZbV 4]QcaSR]\>`S\ObOZ6SOZbV 8OgRS\ 1VSaVW`S ROg]ZR /=4]f6]a^WbOZ BVS/=4]fE][S\¸a6SOZbV^VgaWQWO\aVOdS gSO`a]TSf^S`WS\QSO\RbVS[]ab`SQS\bb`OW\W\U 3OQV^ObWS\b`SQSWdSa]\S]\]\SSRcQObW]\O\R T`SSPW`bVW\UQZOaaSaESS\Q]c`OUSg]cb][SSb OZZ]c`^`]dWRS`aRc`W\Ug]c`^`SU\O\Qga]g]c¸ZZ VOdSOTO[WZWO`TOQSeWbVg]cObRSZWdS`g /=4]fE][S\¸a6SOZbVWaQ]\dS\WS\bZg Z]QObSRObbVS4]f1O`S1S\bS`W\=\S]\bO O\R\]eOb]c`AWR\SgZ]QObW]\b]] 1OZZT]`O\ O^^]W\b[S\bb]ROg( $%"! !% SIDNEY – Unadilla-based laminated wood manufacturer Una-Lam announced plans to participate in the 2013 Sidney Great Strides walk, to be held on May 18 at the Keith Clark Park. Over the years, thousands of dollars have been raised to fund the research, care and educational programs of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). The goal of the 2013 Sidney Great Strides Walk is to raise $20,000 and Una-Lam has set a goal to raise $5,000.

Records of the Naval Historical Center show that the flat hat was authorized in 1852, was standard throughout the American Civil War, and remained in use long after white headgear, much later given the “Dixie cup hat” appellation, was introduced as an alternative in 1886. At first, flat hats were made of dark blue wool known as Metcalf serge. If the skipper permitted, a white cover could be attached to the top of the hat to protect the wearer from sunlight during periods of warm weather. After white hats were added to Navy issue, many sailors received both flat hats and white hats. The choice between the two depended upon the whim of skippers at sea and shore-based commanders. Prior to the U. S. entry into World War II, most flat hats, but not all, had unit or ship names embroidered on the front. This practice was ended in Jan. 1941 to make it more difficult for potential adversaries to learn the whereabouts of U.S. ships. Thereafter, flat hats were embroidered with the legend “U. S. Navy.” Coast Guardsmen wore the flat hat, too. It was the dress hat for winter. Most were comfortable with the hat. It was easy to take care of. When you folded it, it was flat. You folded it and kept it under your mattress, pressed down. In the 1950s and 1960s, the hats were still a part of Navy attire, but were rarely seen. The Navy officially retired the flat hat on April 1, 1963.

Local Girl Is Winner (Continued from Page 1) with any sport, it takes time, dedication and the willingness to keep pushing yourself even when you think you can’t give anymore. Julia Strier, a BG graduate and two time Equitation World title holder, enjoyed putting Jenna through many hours of no stirrup lessons, lunge line lessons and pattern work, which certainly paid off! The Morgan breed is the first American breed (VT. 1789) started by “Figure” or better known as Justin Morgan. Morgans are reliable, loyal, intelligent and versatile for people of all ages and walks of life. They were the favored mount by cavalry soldiers in the Civil War. They were very sensible under fire and marched tirelessly. It was recently discovered that Jenna’s great-great-greatgrandfather, Edward Goulette, trained Morgans at the Government Morgan Horse Farm in Weybridge, Vt. in the early 1900s. Earl stands true to his breed and has become a world champion equitation horse and takes care of his girl while doing it! Jenna would like to thank her family and friends for their continued love and support, and a special thanks to her Lingering Hills family. We look forward to many more successes from this young, talented team. Healthy Living Acupuncture Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition NEW OFFICE IN BAINBRIDGE!

SIDNEY - On Thursday, Jan. 17, the Friends of the Libraries movie night resumes with The Last Lions, one of the most beautifully shot documentaries to be released in recent years. From the lush wetlands of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert follow lioness, Ma di Tau, as she embarks on a riveting journey to protect her three cubs from a daunting onslaught of enemies. Crocodiles, raging fire, fierce water buffalo, and other lions are just a few of the perils faced by the determined lioness and her fragile cubs. The Jouberts manage to weave vivid storytelling with breathtaking up-close footage to create a film that Manohla Dargis of The New York Times describes as “a worthy, intensive labor of love that took years to shoot and edit, and is also more gripping than a lot of recent Hollywood thrillers.” This spellbinding tale serves as a backdrop to the bleak reality that lions are vanishing from the wild – plummeting from 450,000 to as few as 20,000 in the last 50 years. Award winning film makers Dereck and Beverly Joubert and National Geographic have founded an international conservation project called the Big Cats Initiative, in conjunction with the film, to spread the word about these endangered cats. Don’t miss the chance to see this vivid drama on the big screen in the Smart Community Room of the Sidney Memorial Public Library on Thursday, Jan. 17 at 6:30 p.m. Released in 2012, The Last Lions is narrated by Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons.

Paden...................................Publisher Nancy Sue Burns.........................................Editor Anna Ritchey.......................Advertising Manager NEWS FROM N.Y. STATE SENATOR JAMES L. SEWARD New Year Brings New Laws As we turn the calendar, several new laws are taking hold in New York State. A new sales tax exemption designed to encourage solar energy use and a law to provide new protections for domestic violence victims highlight the list. Other measures that are in effect as of Jan. 1, 2013 include laws that help craft brewers distribute their products, prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, and authorize new ways for colleges to provide health insurance for students. SOLAR ENERGY SALES TAX EXEMPTION – A new law taking effect on Jan. 1 exempts the sale and installation of commercial solar energy systems equipment from state sales tax and compensating use taxes. Under the new law, municipalities will also have the authority to provide this exemption from local sales and use taxes. New York State is striving to improve energy efficiency and draw more energy from clean, renewable sources. Several years ago the “45 by 15” clean energy goal was established. The plan challenges the state to meet 45 percent of the consumer electricity needs by 2015 through increased energy efficiency and renewable energy. In order to reach the goal we must provide incentives to encourage businesses to install solar energy systems just as we have done with homeowners. Eliminating all state sales taxes and providing local municipalities an option to eliminate their portion as well will encourage more commercial solar installations and will hopefully create more jobs for New Yorkers to help with the installation process along with meeting our renewable energy goal. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROTECTIONS - As of the first of the year, victims of domestic violence who seek medical and/or mental health services and use their health insurance to pay for that care, can designate alternative contact information so they may receive health insurance correspondence in a safe location of their own choosing, such as the home of a friend or family member, a post office box, or a shelter. Current law already bars disclosure of an address and phone number when an order of protection is in place. This law greatly expands the information to be protected by ensuring that a victims’ health insurance information is not sent to the same address as the alleged abuser, thus affording more protection domestic violence victims. DISTRIBUTION OF BEER PRODUCED BY SMALL, INDEPENDENT BREWERS - This new law will give New York’s craft breweries the means to end unfavorable, exclusive contracts with beer wholesalers. This measure will help the growth of the state’s small independent breweries by allowing them to end costly exclusive contracts with large wholesalers that do not market or promote their brands without having to undertake lengthy legal procedures that may not provide relief. The law defines small brewers as those who produce less than 300,000 barrels of beer annually, and whose sales to a wholesaler are three percent or less of a multi-brand beer wholesaler’s annual business. BAN ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES FOR MINORS - A new law will prohibit the sale of electronic cigarettes to people under the age of 18 years of age. This law is needed to protect children and young adults from the dangers of smoking electronic cigarettes, particularly given that they are unregulated and have not been proven to be safe for use at any age. ALLOWING COLLEGES TO SELF-INSURE FOR STUDENT HEALTH CARE – This law, which I sponsored, will allow eligible private and public colleges and universities in New York State to self-insure for their students’ health insurance needs. As higher education costs rise, colleges and universities are always looking for an edge to keep expenses down and compete with out-of-state schools. Clearing the way for a self-insurance plan will allow participating New York schools that take part to tailor their own health insurance plans to meet the specific needs of their student populations, while reducing administrative costs.

Adams Real Estate has opened a branch office in Sidney at 27 Smith St. The location is the former Fendick’s showroom. This is the second branch office for the firm, the first opened in Downsville 10 years ago. The main office is in Walton where it has been in operation since 1970. The Sidney Industrial Development Agency is negotiating with a client interested in locating in Sidney’s Industrial Park, according to Keith Wrigley, IDA chairman. Wrigley expects the closing will come early this spring. Wingate Associates, Mirabito Fuel Group and Delaware Enterprises are now in the park. The Village of Sidney Board of Trustees is giving anyone interested an opportunity to make an offer on their village owned property on West Road. Monday night the board passed a resolution to give the general public a chance to buy the former Landmark Ford building and property. The pool at the Apollus Health Spa in Sidney has been closed until further notice due to a rip in the liner of the dome. The second play of Tri-Town Theatre’s 25th Anniversary Season will be Thornton Wilder’s beloved Pulitzer Prize winning, Our Town.

Tri-town area residents will best remember the 29 year old Cham- LETTER TO THE EDITOR Village of Afton Shows Holiday Spirit There were many beautiful light displays this year in and around the town of Afton, such as the Charles Hughes residence (Tag’s) right on the BainbridgeAfton border whose house is outlined in lights and looks like a gingerbread house. Other than the lights and Christmas parade, there were two other events that should be recognized. The generous offering of a free Christmas meal put on by Jack Flannery and volunteers at the River Club in Afton for those who were alone or wouldn’t have had a dinner otherwise, was a great success. He intends to offer this generous gesture again next year and Afton residents appreciate this thoughtfulness. Another generous invitation was offered by Carolyn Mullin and John Knoetgen as they offered an open house at their home, Jericho Farm Bed & Breakfast, from 2 to 6 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16 My husband and I stopped in late to see their beautiful home and partake of the lavish and delectable appetizers they offered. Needless to say, the decorations were very tasteful. We were the last to leave and in conversation, learned that Trooper Mullin has been promoted to Internal Affairs in Rochester. However, this leaves John at home alone during the week to provide services to any bed and breakfast visitors they may have. He doesn’t seem to mind. Carolyn is very proud to show her collection of teddy bears, the first one dating back to 1901. These gestures offered in Afton, bring back the memories of Christmas long ago.

SIDNEY 50 YEARS AGO January 9, 1963 Late Sunday afternoon the building which had been used as a freight warehouse by the O&W railroad, burst into flames. The fire spread rapidly through the wooden building and totally destroyed it. The building was located several hundred yards behind the new Grand Union Supermarket in Sidney. Firemen prevented the fire from spreading to a similar warehouse nearby. Cause of the blaze has not been determined. The manse of the First Congregational Church, located at the corner of River and Grand Streets, has been sold to Robert L. Young. The new manse will be built in the new Meadowbrook section. It was reported at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the First National Bank in Sidney that total assets reached an all time high of $8,800,000. At the end of the year, total assets were $8,402,446, an increase of $1,214,000 over last year. Mrs. Jerome Alt has become associated with Richard B. Cordes insurance and real estate agency.

Joyce is a partner in the Jay–Cee Zenith Sales firm in Sidney. Joseph Wade, Frank Rettberg and Dr. David Bornstein are Sidney Chamber of Commerce members on the Susquenango Cultural Council. BAINBRIDGE 25 YEARS AGO January 13, 1988 The American-Islamic Cultural Foundation bought 103 acres near Union Valley and Cooper School Roads Nov. 2 from Dorothy Ann Bates. According to Faatimah Hanif, secretary for the foundation, the land was bought because cofounder Muhammad Jamal met Bob Bates on a backhoe one day while Jamal was traveling round Bainbridge. “We heard that Bob needed help on the farm, so we came up weekends from Newark to help,” Hanif said. “That’s how we learned about dairy farming.” The group wants to use the land to grow food for the needy in Bainbridge as well as for the soup kitchen they run in Newark. When secretary Hanif was contacted the first time for the newspaper story, she was unavailable as she was delivering food baskets to 10 Bainbridge families. Ed Ray is named Deputy Supervisor in Bainbridge. BAINBRIDGE 50 YEARS AGO January 9, 1963 The Bainbridge Bobcats, coached by “Doc” Jones, won the Greene Tourney over Greene and New Berlin to remain undefeated with a 7-0 record.

Progress updates were given by the petitions, brochure and publicity committees chairmen including note that a complete brochure would be ready by Jan. 21 and five news releases had been prepared. A CHEERFUL PROSPECT BY AMY MARSLAND Well, as you no doubt noticed, the world did not come to an end on Dec. 21. No doubt disappointing hopeless debtors and some self-nominated saints. But supposing the situation had been a bit more confirmable. Supposing there was an asteroid heading on a direct track to us certain to land on day X, agreed to by government and scientists and everybody except perhaps a couple of optimists in the loony bin. The world ends tomorrow, that was certain. What would you do today? The classic answer is that everybody would get down on their knees and repent their sins. But I suspect there would be some other choices. For instance, a lot of repairing to houses of pleasure (of any kind, including pool halls or firing ranges or golf courses while some, while the chance lasted, took the opportunity to try for the perfect shot or the impossible hole-in-one or even the perfect tragic romance). Or some loving carpenter or painter went direct to his workshop to finish making that little side table or that emerging portrait so that at least it be finished when it incinerated and be preserved intact in some sort of heavenly museum. There would be, of course, a thronging of churches where all those who had previously found better things to do on Sunday fell to their knees and hoped for another destination than Sodom and Gomorrah. This was extremely popular until their knees started to really hurt and then an earsplitting wail heralded the Big Bang, or possibly its reverse. Some peaceful souls retired to the hills from which they could better see the approaching fireball, but also, more important, the noble trees, the sweet hydrangeas, the clear waters which until now they had so dearly loved and which were about to vanish with them. Objects of special attention were the children and grandchildren, who for once were allowed to do whatever entered their heads. And a few, humble souls, said to themselves, “Well might as well wash the kitchen floor and then make Apple Betty as I meant to, just in case we can squeeze supper in.” I, of course, quickly wrote a Cheerful Prospect for next week. So the world did not, this time, come to an end, but gave us a chance to examine our souls. And when the weather captioner announced that for a few days we would experience “ows in the twenties and thirties,” we actually laughed, louder than usual. Letters to the Editor are appreciated.

Tri-Town News — Thursday, January 10, 2013— 5 TRI-TOWN’S OWN STIMULUS PLAN BY JOAN DICHIARA New Year’s Resolutions Happy New Year. If you haven’t made a New Year’s resolution it is time to think about doing at least one. By making a resolution it might even save you some money. Here are some New Year’s resolution ideas. Spend more time with family. Make sure at least once a week you have the family sit and eat dinner together. Start exercising. If you can’t afford to join a fitness center go for a walk at least three times a week. On my lunch hour I usually go mall walking. I have a tape called “The Walk Diet” and this is my New Year’s Resolutions to walk along with the tape. Quit Smoking. Cigarette smoking is a very expensive habit. I have noticed that cigarettes are $10 a pack. If you smoke a pack a day you are spending $70 a week or $280 a month. If you give up smoking you probably could pay off a car loan faster, a credit card bill or any other bill. You will be healthier for this decision. I am an ex-smoker and gave up smoking in 1996 because I had no money. Today I wish I had never smoked in my life. If you decide to give up smoking go to the New York State Smoker’s Quitline https:// www.nysmokefree.com/register/ and fill out the registration form, or you can call them toll free 1-866-697-8487 to receive a free starter kit of Nicotine Replacement Therapy. Get out of debt. Don’t use any credit cards this year. Pay cash for everything. Make a list of all your bills and record what you spend daily. Start a savings account. Each week when you get paid put something in a savings ac- count even if it is $5 a week. If you have not been in touch with a family member because of an argument try to reconnect with the family member this year. If you make amends you will be glad you did.

Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian January 2013 “At the beginning of every New Year We quaff of the wine and the beer; And wish come the morn, That weld never been born; (Put ice on my head, will you dear?”) This limerick was published by Ted Tracy and Cliff Webb, but is undated. Ted Tracy was editor and owner of the “Afton Enterprise” from 1958 to 1969 when he retired. He died in 1978. Clifford Webb was Pastor of the Afton and Nineveh Presbyterian Churches from 1932 to 1946. He served other churches but returned to Afton in his retirement. In their book “There Once Was a Lady From Afton”, Ted is listed as author and printer and Cliff as author and cartoonist. The “World Book Encyclopedia” of 1976 defines limerick as a form of humorous verse. It takes its name from the Irish city of Limerick, but its origin is not known. The poem consists of five lines of which the first two Cover of “There Once and fifth lines rhyme. The third and fourth lines also Was a Lady of Afton...” rhyme, although they are shorter in length. Sometimes by Ted Tracy and Cliff the limerick has a rather suggestive theme. Webb. Illustration of An example by Edward Lear is quoted from his title limerick. From Town “Book of Nonsense”, written in 1846. It reads: Historian “There was a young lady of Wilts, Who walked up to Scotland on stilts; When they said it was shocking To show so much stocking, She answered, “Then what about kilts?” The same limerick is quoted in “Lots of Limericks: Light, Lusty, and Lasting”, edited by Louis Untermeyer and illustrated by Richard Taylor, published in 1961. Edward Lear composed more than 200 of them. Many famous authors composed limericks. Rudyard Kipling wrote one appropriate for this time of year. “There once was a boy in Quebec, Who was buried in snow to his neck. When asked “Are you friz?” He replied, “Yes I is.
