Never stop trying and some day you may become a victor in your own life. On the Farm Here on the farm the calves are still coming and they seem to be hiding in the woods, not coming out so we can get a glimpse to see where they have freshened. Two calves were spotted across the creek in the swampy area and were brought back with the mothers on Saturday afternoon. They seemed to be ready to come back to the barn and the calves followed with a little help from the kids. It’s just the beginning and there will surely be more to come into the barn. With the past few days really sunny and warm the fellas have gotten in some hay to chop for the bunk. I’m sure lots of hay was mowed this weekend and it is about time.

The weather looks like we may have more time to get in some dry hay for a change, sounds good. Please keep all our farmers in your thoughts always they can use all we have.

Tri-Town News — Thursday, July 16, 2015 — 11 Spencer Family To Hold Reunion Saturday, July 25 GILBERTSVILLE - The 4th Spencer family reunion will be held at the Copes Corners Park, on SR 51 between Mt. Upton and Gilbertsville, on Saturday, July 25, in pavilion #1. We plan to start eating around 1:30 p.m. Please bring a dish to pass. Jonathan Spencer was one of the first white settlers of the Unadilla River near Rockdale, in the Town of Unadilla. His service in the Revolutionary War helped him discover that valley. He, with his wife, Martha, and some of their many children are buried in the Spencer cemetery, about one mile below Rockdale, on the Back River Road (formerly Spencer St.). There are other Spencer family members that settled near Oneonta as well. All are very cordially invited. There will be a tour of the Spencer cemetery in the afternoon, and a sharing of information by those who have researched the family history. There will also be an auction to help raise money to cover the cost of the park rental. If you wish to contribute, please do. Some of the names of descendants who remain in the area are: Spencer, Leech, Hoag, Nichols, Bresee, Utter, Laraway, Hitt, Kim, Barrows, Dorman, Brown, and Robbins. There may be others, let’s find out! There will be a copier and printer so you can take any information that you want with you. For more information, contact: Joyce Utter Norris at telephone 315-691-9024, or visit our Facebook page, Spencer Descendants from Unadilla, NY. If you think you have a Spencer ancestor, please come, and we will try and help you figure it out. GILBERTSVILLE NEWS ROBERTA HALBERT, CORRESPONDENT TELEPHONE 783-2445 Great Job!

This year, over 6,900 tickets were mailed to families throughout Broome, Tioga, Chenango and Delaware Counties. This marked the second highest attendance ever for the sold out event. “Super Splash Day is always a great way for families to spend quality time together on a summer afternoon,” Senator Libous said. “Whether in the wet or dry zone, everyone can have a blast and create fun family memories.” B-Mets staff helped fans in the wet zones stay cool, while fans looking to take in the game from a drier location were able to sit behind home plate and watch the BMets edge out the New Britain Rock Cats in a 2-1 win. YES! Safe Choices for Kids is a partnership between Senator Libous and Lourdes Hospital. For more information on YES! Safe Choices for Kids, please visit www.YesSafeChoices.org.
