Sidney United Way Helps Kick Off Drive
For Mobile Canteen Truck for Local EDT
SIDNEY – In 2006, after
the local flood in Sidney, the
Salvation Army came to the
Sidney community to help
pass out water and give out
vouchers for food and clothing. In 2008 Barry and Marie
Cole were asked to help organize an Emergency Disaster
Team in Sidney. Leslie Vattimo, EDS Director for the Salvation Army, came to Sidney
to help train the Sidney Disaster Team, which now has 36
members.
During the 2001 flood, retired Lt. Colonel Gene Pigford was able to bring the
Salvation Army’s Oneonta
Corps Canteen to assist our
community by providing food
to the firemen that came to assist our community. Our local
EDS team also went street by
street taking food and water to
the people working on their
homes.
Today, we believe that it is
time to have our own canteen.
There are many times that this
vehicle could be used in our
community and surrounding
communities. Canteens are
usually stocked so as to be
able to cook food, make coffee and deliver needed supplies. This truck could be used
at fires, floods or anywhere
that there is an emergency or
disaster.
“This is a big endeavor
because a new fully outfitted canteen would cost over
$100,000. We are very committed to this project, and we
plan on working on grants,
soliciting businesses and individuals as well as planning
fundraising events. This project may take us 18 months,
which may seem like a long
time, but we believe our goal
is worth the time and effort to
help our community to be better prepared in the event of a
future disaster.
“We are grateful for the donation from the Sidney United
Way to help jumpstart our
campaign. Our group is looking forward to reaching out
to our friends and neighbors
to help provide assistance to
make our dream a reality.”
Donations should be made
out to Salvation Army-Sidney EDS Team with a note
on the check earmarking the
donation for Canteen Truck.
Checks can be mailed to PO
Box 14, Sidney, NY 13838.
Any questions regarding this
project, call Barry Cole at
435-4821.
Recruitment Open House to be Held
At Unadilla Fire House April 26
UNADILLA - The Unadilla
Fire Department will open its
doors to area residents, so they
can learn about what it takes
to be a volunteer firefighter
in their community as part of
the fourth annual RecruitNY
statewide initiative.
Over the last several years, it
has been very tough for many
fire departments throughout
New York State to recruit
and retain volunteers for a
variety of reasons. Like most
volunteer fire departments,
the Unadilla Fire Department
needs to bolster its emergency
responder numbers so it can
continue to provide the optimum level of protection for its
residents.
As part of RecruitNY, on
Saturday, April 26 between 9
a.m. and 1 p.m., the Unadilla
Fire Department, located at 77
Clifton St., will join volunteer
fire departments all across the
state at their respective firehouses for a unified recruitment drive. Not only will
RecruitNY be an opportunity
to highlight the duties and rewards that come with being
a volunteer firefighter, it will
also raise public awareness
about the need for volunteers.
Throughout the day, the fire
department will conduct tours
of the station and firefighter
apparatus, allow visitors to
try on firefighter gear, and
provide activities and stations
throughout the firehouse for
visitors. The fire department
will discuss the requirements
to be a volunteer, as well as
conduct demonstrations, answer questions, and let visitors know how to get involved
in the fire department.
Last year, more than 500
fire departments in 55 counties
across the state held recruitment open houses. FASNY
is hoping for an even higher
turnout this year and encourages departments to RSVP
to let the community know
they’re participating at: www.
recruitny.org/signup.
“Come on out and join us
for this unique recruitment
day at our firehouse,” said
Dennis Harris. “This is a great
opportunity for our neighbors
to observe the exciting tasks
of a firefighter. Our current
members love what they do;
they are everyday heroes who
help neighbors in need. We
hope our recruitment day will
inspire other area residents to
join our fire service family.”
The goal of RecruitNY is
that the collaborative effort
among volunteer fire departments statewide will turn the
declining number of volunteer
firefighters around. RecruitNY
is one example of FASNY’s
key initiatives to recruit and
retain volunteers. Over the
last year and a half, FASNY
has worked exceptionally hard
to build and deploy a multitiered plan for helping New
York state’s more than 1,700
volunteer fire departments recruit more than 15,000 new
volunteer firefighters across
the state by utilizing federal
SAFER grant funds for programs including the “Fire in
You” advertising campaign,
FASNY HELP community
college tuition reimbursement
program, and recruitment
training classes.
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 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.
WELLS BRIDGE - Unatego Cue and Curtain will present The Pink Panther Strikes
Again by William Gleason
on Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26 at 7 p.m. in
the Unatego Central School
auditorium.
Based on the film by Blake
Edwards and Frank Waldman,

must see. The world’s most
unusual criminologist, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, played
by Gregory Sears, clumsily
fights for his life and for all
of mankind. His former boss
Dreyfus, played by Adam Williams, has turned into a raving
lunatic and is threatening to
vaporize the earth if Clouseau
is not delivered to him, alive
or dead.
Dreyfus kidnaps Professor
Fassbender, played by Liam
Dobbins, so that he can use
the “Doomsday Machine” in
order to pursue his mission.
Comedy ensues as Clouseau
slips by every attack against
him. Dreyfus however gets
impatient with the world. Will
Clouseau get there in time to
save the day?

Led by Alabama native
and 2010 inductee to the Alabama Bluegrass Music Hall of
Fame, David Davis, the Warrior River Boys include banjo
player Robert Montgomery,
Marty Hays on bass and fiddler, Ben Sanders.
Born into a musical family, with Uncle Cleo Davis,
who was Bill Monroe’s original Blue Grass Boy, and with
both his grandfather and father
players and singers, David Davis is now recognized as one
of the foremost practitioners
of the Monroe mandolin technique. While his dad Leddell’s
personal dream of making music may have been shattered
during WWII when he lost his
right hand in a mortar accident, David carried that family
love of music on.
Robert Montgomery, who
grew up in Moulton, Ala.,
started learning guitar and
banjo at the age of 12. He
has won numerous contests
including the 2004 National
Old-Time Banjo Championship at Uncle Dave Macon
Days in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
He has been featured on television and radio programs as
well as recording with others
and on his own. Robert joined
the Warrior River Boys in January 2008.
Named after his mother’s
favorite singer, Marty Robbins, Marty Hays has been
on the road playing bass and
singing with the band since
1995. He hails from Salem,
Ill. where he’s spent the last
decade organizing the Salem
“Bluegrass and Barbecue Festival.” His uncle, Don Hays,
performed in gospel quartets
and grandmother, Bertha Prosise, was the song leader at
Pleasant Grove Primitive Baptist Church. One of Marty’s
most recent projects was the
making of his album “Wish
We Had Our Time Again,”
released on Right Side Up
records.
Fiddler Ben Sanders found
his way into bluegrass and
old-time fiddle music at the
age of nine. Though born in
Milwaukee, Wis., he moved
to Nashville, Tenn. in 2006
after graduating high school.
He was the first graduate from
Vanderbilt’s Blair School of
Music with a degree in country, bluegrass and old-time
fiddle performance under the
mentorship of master fiddler,
Matt Combs. Performance
credits include appearances on WSM’s Grand Ole’
Opry, Garrison Keillor’s A
Prairie Home Companion
and RFD-TV’s Cumberland
Highlanders Show. He has
also won several state fiddle
championships.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Young Students Need
Opportunities Music
Provides
It saddens me to hear that
the music program at Sidney
Central School is in a state
of decline to the point where
there is no longer a marching
band.
Learning to play instruments throughout elementary,
middle and high school led
me to continue playing after
graduating from Sidney. Playing music has always been a
source of joy, and also stress
relief, for me. That crucial
opportunity to take lessons in
fourth grade is something that
changed the rest of my life, offering me a firm foundation in
music that led to my success
after high school.
As an undergraduate, I was
awarded a music scholarship.
I was in the orchestra and
wind ensemble in college and
completed a minor in music
performance. Now, in graduate school in New York City,
I have continued playing in
my university orchestra. Next
spring, we will be playing at
Lincoln Center.
Without a strong music program from day one at Sidney, I
fear that young students won’t
have the same opportunity that
I did. They won’t have the opportunity to find music—an
interest that will enrich their
lives well beyond their time at
Sidney Central School.

NEWS
FROM
half of Mr. Gregg Norris and
the music department of the
Sidney Central School District. I am a 2011 Sidney High
School graduate and am currently pursuing a Bachelor of
Arts in drama at The Catholic University of America in
Washington, D.C. I would not
be where I am today if it were
not for the music department’s
generosity, kindness, guidance
and inspiration.
I am distraught to learn
that the music department is
becoming increasingly undervalued and abused. The students are the ultimate losers
when the department is cut
or stretched beyond its limits. The department provides
students with opportunities
that will help them grow as
individuals, teach them how to
work as a team and will distinguish them from their peers
when applying for college.
How will it make the Town
of Sidney appear at the Memorial and Hometown Day
Parades when they do not
even have a marching band to
represent their own town? If
the feelings of distraught and
saddened citizens when they
do not see their town represented in their own parades
or at the Sherburne Pageant
of Bands do not persuade you
to reconsider the importance
of the music department, let
not these letters from former
music students. Nobody wants
his or her community to feel
that “O judgment! Thou art
fled to brutish beasts, and men
have lost their reason” (Julius
Caesar 3.2 106-107).

Cracking Down On Sexual Predators
April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. Each year, public
campaigns presented by various organizations attempt to
generate awareness about the
horrific crimes that fall under
the sexual assault heading.
The objective is to inform individuals about available services and to provide information on additional steps being
taken to assist those who have
been victimized.
No one should ever have to
endure the pain and suffering
that accompanies sexual assault. Whether at the hands
of a stranger, or worse yet, a
trusted family member, the
physical and emotional scars
never heal.
The New York State Senate is taking an active role to
help end these horrific crimes,
passing legislation to strengthen penalties and create new
charges for offenses relating
to sexual crimes. Two bills,
which passed in the senate
recently, will help deter criminals, hold violators accountable and create safer communities throughout the state.
First, Senate Bill 1459
creates significantly longer
prison sentences for serial
rapists. Under current law, it

UNADILLA
55 YEARS AGO
April 24, 1959
Unadilla’s week long historical observance, scheduled
for the third week in August,
will be known as “Unadilla
Frontier Days.” It is believed
that the title will be in keeping
with our local history as the
Unadilla River formed a part
of the old treaty line and for
years was considered the western frontier of the northeast.
is possible for a judge to issue concurrent sentences for
multiple counts arising from
separate acts of rape. This
legislation would require consecutive prison sentences for
each count of first degree rape
when an individual is convicted of multiple counts. Without this change, someone who
commits multiple acts of rape
can be sentenced as if they
only committed one act. Such
a horrifically violent crime requires real punishment.
Next, Senate Bill 2510 creates new felony-level “computer sex crimes,” which
involve offenses in which
criminals use computers and
the internet to commit sex
crimes against children under
the age of 17.
The anonymity of the internet has made it easier for
criminals to find their victims,
especially children. These
crimes also frequently involve
individuals using a false identity in an effort to engage in
sexual contact with minors.
This bill increases penalties
for such offenses and gives
law enforcement additional
tools to investigate.
In the past, the senate has
also passed Senate Bill 1391
that increases the penalty for
failure to register or report a
change of address by a level
three sex offender. Currently,
sex offenders who fail to register or report address changes
only face a misdemeanor for
the first offense. The penalty
does not reach felony-level
until a second offense. This
bill punishes first-time offenders more harshly, and
repeat offenders would face
a higher-level felony charge.
Level three sex offenders are
considered to be the most dangerous and the most likely to
repeat their crimes, they need
to follow the laws set forth in
regard to their release or face
stiff penalties. This bill has
been reintroduced again this
year.
I have also reintroduced
comprehensive legislation to
increase penalties for convicted sex offenders, particularly
those who prey on children.
Under current law, first time
sex offenders convicted of a
Class D felony receive a minimum sentence of only two
years, while repeat offenders
receive a minimum of only
five years in prison. The current sentencing structure is far
too lenient for such violent,
life-altering crimes.
My legislation, senate bill
3052, would increase the penalty for rape, criminal sexual
act, or course of sexual conduct against a child in the
second degree from Class D
to Class C felonies. By doing
so, the prison sentences would
effectively double, allowing
judges to hand down a maximum sentence of 15 years
for first time offenders, and a
25 year maximum for repeat
offenders.
I am hopeful that this is the
year these bills will finally
receive approval by the state
assembly as well so that they
can be sent to the governor
and signed into law.
I have consistently fought
for stronger laws to protect
children and other vulnerable
individuals from sexual pred-
So, Holy Week, tax day,
and going from 76 degrees to

an interesting run-up to Easter
(while Russian airplanes buzzing our ships in the Black Sea
gives everything a certain frisson of suspense).
I got an e-mail this week
from the rabbi head of the
International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews, basically a welfare organization
for poverty-stricken Jews
around the world. They also
help Jews make “Aliyah,”
their return to Israel from all
parts of the world. This is
a very fascinating story all
its own, as black Jews from
Ethiopia and Jews who still
keep many Jewish traditions
in India find their way home.
The historical explanation for
this is the dispersion of the
“Ten Lost Tribes,” which took
place when Nebuchadnezzar
scattered rebellious Jews into
far-flung reaches of his empire
back in…600 B.C.
Rabbi Eckstein observed
that the “blood moon” (a dramatic name for this week’s
lunar eclipse) is going to take
place during Passover and that
some find this ominous. It is
a Middle Eastern tradition
that blood moons are portents
of “big doings” (usually not
good) in the world of men.
The reason it is called a blood
moon is the copper color the
moon acquires when it slips
into the shadow of earth. It
no longer reflects the sunlight
back to us, but it still picks up a
certain amount of “earthshine”
(did you know we shine?),
which keeps it from going totally black in the sky.
I looked up the blood moon
a while back for some reason
and found a list of historical
events that took place at the
time of a lunar eclipse, most
of them in and around Israel.
It was impressive enough to
make one wonder if there
wasn’t something in the myth.
When I went online to try to
find it again, the ether was
filled with speculations about
the “Last Days” based on the
fact that we get four blood
moons spaced rather close
together (for celestial events,
that is). Such a grouping is
called a tetrad. The remaining
three blood moons of this tetrad are on Oct. 8, 2014; April
4, 2015; and Sept. 28; 2015.
Having lived through any
number of “apocalypses” in
the last half century, most of
us are intrigued but not afraid.
In A.D. 1,000, many left their
worldly goods to the poor and
entered a monastery, in expectation of the Second Coming.
A number of sects regale their
followers regularly with predictions of the precise date of
this interesting event. Even in
other cultures, there have been
numerous millennial movements. It seems as if human
beings cannot live without
some concept of the End of the
World. It reminds me of a cartoon in The New Yorker many,
many years ago that showed a
brown-robed prophet holding
a sign on the street corner with
people all around him staring
in horror. The sign read, “It is
just going to go on and on and
on.…”
ators. I have also partnered
with police and prosecutors to
make sure they have the tools
they need to arrest and lock
up these depraved criminals.
I vow to continue the fight to
make our communities safer.

“100th Birthday Party” Fire Truck
Has Coventry Connection
by Vicky House, Oxford
Historian and Martha
Schneider,
Newark Valley Deputy
Town Historian
It’s been more than a year
now since I received a call
from a lady from Newark Valley. Since then, Martha and
Ken Schneider and I have
shared several e-mails and
phone calls swapping information on an old fire truck
that once belonged to Oxford.
Martha is active in the fire department’s auxiliary, as well as
Deputy Town Historian. Her
husband, Ken, is a firefighter,
fire police lieutenant, and a
fire commissioner. He’s also
chairman of the Newark Valley Fire Department vintage
truck show where the “old,”
and now “new,” fire truck will
be on display.
The history that we can verify at this time is that the 1914
Federal Chassis Fire Truck
was manufactured in Detroit,
Mich. by Federal Motor Truck
Company. The chassis then
traveled by rail to Utica where
it was outfitted with fire equipment by O. J. Childs Company. From there, the Norwich
Fire Department accepted delivery of the truck in the fall of
1914 and it became part of the
Ontario Hose Company No. 3.
This was Norwich’s first motorized fire apparatus.
In 1920, Norwich sold the
fire truck to the Oxford Fire
Department for $1,500, paid
for in three annual payments,
and it became Oxford’s first
motorized apparatus. Oxford
continued using the truck until
sometime in 1950 when it was
sold to Charlie Niles of Coventry. By 1957, Charlie Niles
used the truck in local parades. It is not exactly known
when, but the truck made its
way to Sanitaria Springs and
the property of Leo Rosen. In
1962, Newark Valley bought
the truck from Rosen for $500
and it still said, “Coventry” on
the box.
Newark Valley used the
truck in parades for over 50
years even though the truck
was never used to actually
fight a fire. According to
Martha, “Younger members
found the antique to be in the
way and wanted to get rid of
it. Those who realized its importance wouldn’t stand for
it, some even offering to buy
it themselves just to keep it
here. Luckily, good sense won
out.”
Martha shared a story she
wrote for the Firemen’s Association of the State of New
York along with the images
provided for this article. Here
is part of Marty’s article. “Gas
on, magneto lever set, gasoline put into each of the little
priming cups on top of the engine, gas valve open, throttle
set, pull choke and crank! In
the mid-1910s, this was stateof-the-art; something to be
proud of.”
“In the 1970s, there was
finally enough funds for getting the wooden wheels revulcanized by an expensive
process. Since then, the antique has been repainted and
the seats reupholstered. TLC
by many local enthusiasts has
kept the old girl going these
100 years. This summer, Newark Valley will celebrate her
birthday with an open invitation to other antique-owning
departments for a truck show
on July 12t.”
“The “100th Birthday Party” Truck Show is at the New-
ark Valley Firemen’s Field on
July 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
It will include fire vehicles and
antique trucks. The Newark
Valley Fire Department still
relishes the chance to show
off its 1914 Federal fire truck
a century later.”
Now that the fire truck has
been completely restored, it is
one of the oldest running motorized fire trucks in the country. It continues to provide joy
to parade goers, and has also
been used in a few weddings.
Presently, it is on loan to the
Northeast Classic Car Museum in Norwich and will be in
Norwich’s Centennial Parade
on May 23.
If you can’t get to the Northeast Classic Car Museum or
to Norwich’s Centennial Parade, go to the firemen’s field
in Newark Valley where you
will see something you may
not see again in your lifetime
and help celebrate the birthday of a “beautiful old girl”
who once graced Oxford.
It is our hope that this article
and the showing of the truck
will stir up a few memories
from local residents. If you
have images or stories you
would like to share, please
don’t hesitate to contact me.
We look forward to not only
hearing them, but filling in the
gaps on her 100 year history.
Thanks to Martha and Ken
Schneider and the Newark
Valley Fire Department for
preserving and sharing a piece
of our history.

APRIL 2014
Bernett H. Decker was the owner of the
Decker farm when he built the gas station on the front of the property. He had
had a gas pump installed to supply his
car and tractor. Soon, Arthur Grover, my
uncle across the road, wanted to buy gas
and then my grandfather, Frank Decker
and his brother George Decker wanted
to buy gas. This was during the Great
Depression and my father needed money,
so in 1929 he built the gas station, which
still stands today.
In addition to farm work, the gas station
took a lot of time. My mother pumped gas,
Bernett H. Decker in the gas station which he
washed windsheilds, and checked oil.
build in 1929. Picture from Charles Decker.
When running boards became obsolete,
she could no longer check oil as she was too short. She did not feel deprived.
In the picture, my father looks very pleased, surrounded by merchandise and equipment. The glass
showcase held candy, chewing gum, and other items. Dale and Jenny Grover now have that case.
The cash register was a McCaskey. A metal cabinet with glass door and side panels held tobacco
products. Not shown, it is now in the Afton Free Library as a display cabinet. The crank telephone was
later used between the house and repair garage.
For several years the brand of gasoline was Pureoil. Later, for a short time, it was Shell. For the rest
of the years of the gas station, the brand was Sunoco, which I still use.
At an early date, ice cream was sold. My father drove to Cloverdale Farms in Binghamton to get his
supply. In the beginning the ice cream was cooled in a cabinet packed with salt and dry ice. Later, an
electric cooler was used and could hold more flavors. My mother dipped ice cream as did we offspring
as we grew older. A cone was 5¢ for a single dip and 10¢ for a double dip. A hand-packed pint was
25¢ and a quart was 40¢. I still have the dippers and metal containers for the ice cream cartons. Ice
cream is my favorite dessert.
The gas station was closed for business when my father died in 1976. Sunoco emptied the tanks
and removed the pumps. The building has had several uses since, including an office for a roofing
business and a gift shop.
Many people admire the building and some would like to buy and move it.
Bainbridge Saw Lots of Activity
In Later Part of 20th Century
BAINBRIDGE - As the
time draws closer for our Jericho to Bainbridge Bicentennial celebration on Sunday, June
1, we look at events that happened in Bainbridge between
1974 and 1993.
Several new businesses
started during these years.
Blue Seal Feeds built their
modern feed mill in 1974. The
plant was automated from the
unloading of ingredients to the
loading of finished feeds.
Quality Hardwoods brought
the lumber business back into
the area in 1977 when they
opened on State Hwy 8. With
their state-of-the-art mill they
produce 5-million board feet
of fine furniture and cabinet
grade hardwood lumber each
year.

MT. UPTON - Mildred
Emily (Dicks) Huntington,
88, went to be with the Lord
on April 16, 2014 at the New
York State Veterans Home at
Oxford where she had resided
since 2005.
She was born on March
25, 1926 in Trout Creek, the
daughter of the late Clyde
and Elma (Wilson) Dicks. On
Sept. 6, 1953 in Unadilla, she
married Forrest Huntington of
Mt. Upton, who predeceased
her in 1996.
In addition to her parents
and her husband, Forrest; Mildred was also predeceased by
her two sisters, Zelda Dicks
in 1935 and Joanna Constable
in 2000; and a daughter, Lola
Marlene Huntington in 1958.
Mildred is survived by two
daughters, Gilda Ward (Matthew), Mt. Upton and Diane
Huntington (William Monroe),
Sherburne; four grandchildren, Ryan Ostrander, Walton, Joshua Ostrander, Sprakers, Adam Ward, Belmont,
Calif. and Ashley Ostrander,
Noblesville, Ind.; and three
great grandchildren, Kaylana
Campbell, Olivia and Sophia
Ostrander; as well as several
nieces and nephews.
Mildred grew up in the
Walton area until her family
moved to Unadilla to work for
Chambers and Sons. This gave
her ample opportunity to be
around lots of horses, which
was her real passion. During
WW II, Mildred joined the war
effort by working for Scintilla
in Sidney. In 1950, she received her beautician’s license
from Triple Cities School of
Beauty in Binghamton. She
was employed for a time as a
hairdresser for Bresee’s Department Store in Oneonta.
Through a mutual friend, she
met her husband, Forrest. After marriage, Mildred and her
husband ran their family dairy
farm located outside of Rockdale. She worked hard helping
with the daily farm chores,
tending and harvesting a large
vegetable garden and raising
two growing girls. Almost all
the food she served was homegrown and homemade. In the
late1950s, she also worked in
her parents’ bakery in Unadilla. In the mid-1960s, Mildred
was employed as a machine
assistant at Keith Clark, while
continuing to help run the family farm, as well. She worked
at Keith Clark until her retirement in 1991. Just after her
retirement, she lived out her
lifelong dream of going on a
trip to Nashville, Tenn. After
Forrest’s death, Mildred sold
the family farm and moved to
Sidney. In 2003, she became a
resident of the Skilled Nursing Facility of The Hospital in
Sidney until it closed and then
moved to the Oxford Veterans
Home where she resided until
her death.
Mildred was a member of
the Church of Christ in Sidney. Mildred and her husband
had earlier attended the First
Baptist Church in Mt. Upton.
Faith in God was a very important part of her daily life.
“Millie” was a good friend
and listening ear to so many
around her. Her legacy of hard
work and dedication com-
bined with a loving and caring spirit showed forth God’s
love to her friends and family
and endeared her to so many.
She will be sadly missed by all
who knew and loved her.
Friends called April 22 at
C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, Sidney. Funeral services
will take place at 11 a.m. on
Wednesday, April 23 with
Larry Bailey of the Church of
Christ of Sidney officiating.
Burial will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery, Bainbridge.
Condolences and memories
may be shared with Millie’s
family online at www.landersfh.com. Arrangements are under the direction of C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, Sidney.

Health Alert - Governor Cuomo Advises New Yorkers to
Be Cautious of Ticks as Warmer Weather Arrives
ALBANY - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently
alerted New Yorkers to take
precautions to prevent diseases that are transmitted by ticks
as springtime weather arrives
throughout the state.
“While New Yorkers are
out taking advantage of the
spring weather, it is important
to ensure safety remains a top
priority,” Governor Cuomo
said. “New Yorkers of all ages
should take a few moments to
educate themselves about the
health risks associated with
tick bites and take proper precautions to protect themselves
from them.”
Lyme disease is caused by
the bite of an infected deer
tick. Ticks are active when the
weather stays above freezing,
usually from April through
November. The time of greatest concern is in late spring
and early summer when
nymphal ticks are active. In
the nymphal stage of life, deer
ticks are small (about the size
of a poppy seed) and difficult
to see. Nymphal deer ticks are
responsible for the majority of
Lyme disease cases. In tickinfested areas, any contact
with vegetation, even playing
in a well-manicured yard, can
result in exposure to ticks.
While this past winter was
unusually harsh, the abundant
and long-lasting snow cover
likely provided insulation to
allow ticks to survive the winter. Deer ticks, carriers of at
least four different pathogens,
are starting to emerge and will
be present for the next several
months across the state.
“The good news is that
Lyme and other tick-borne
diseases are preventable by
taking simple precautions such
as wearing light colored clothing, tucking pants into socks
and doing a tick check after
being in wooded or grassy
areas,” State Health Commissioner Nirav R. Shah, M.D.,
M.P.H., said.
Lyme and other tick-borne
diseases
Lyme disease is caused by
bacteria transmitted by infected deer ticks (both nymphs
and adults), which are most
active when temperatures are
above freezing. Lyme disease
can affect people of any age.
Since reporting of Lyme
disease to DOH began in 1986,
more than 100,000 cases have
been documented. While there
are year-to-year variations,
New York State averages more
than 5,500 new Lyme diseases
cases each year. Individuals
who spend time in grassy and
wooded environments are at
greatest risk of exposure. It is
important to do thorough body
checks for ticks after playing
or working outdoors, paying
close attention to armpits, the
area behind the knees and ears,
the hairline, the waist, and the
groin.
Lyme disease is spread
when an infected tick bites a
person and remains attached
for 36 hours or more. In 60-80
percent of cases an expanding rash resembling a bull’s
eye or solid patch will appear
near the site of the bite. If an
expanding rash more than two
inches apart appears or flu-like
symptoms occur over a 30-day
period following a tick bite,
or if an expanding rash more
than two inches across appears, contact your health care
provider immediately.
If a tick is found on the body,
it is critical to remove it immediately, preferably with fine
point tweezers, grasping the
tick as close to its attachment
to the skin. When removing a
tick, if its mouthparts break off
and remain in the skin, do not Choose a repellent that con- borne disease may not appear

the Anadarko Litigation
Trust, the United States of

PURSUANT TO THE
MOTION FILED WITH THE
COURT:
• THE DEADLINE TO
FILE OBJECTIONS TO
THE TRONOX SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS
MAY 15, 2014, AT 4:00 P.M.
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.”

Emergency Mental Health Services
Is Topic of Seward’s Meeting
ONEONTA - State Senator
James L. Seward commented
on a meeting he convened of
local stakeholders to discuss
the future of emergency psychiatric services in Otsego County
and the surrounding region:
“The decision by Bassett
Medical center to terminate inpatient psychiatric services has
wide-ranging consequences.
The meeting of local stakeholders included a brief summary
of what led to the decision, and
more importantly, allowed for
an open dialogue on actions
to be taken to fill the pending
treatment void.
“Mental health needs are
diverse, complex, highly specialized, and can often result
in a crisis situation. Proper
treatment can be the difference
between life and death. We
need to ensure that appropriate
resources are available and that
those in need are able to access
suitable, timely care.
“Already, several modifications are well underway, including the activation of a Mobile Crisis Assessment Team,
which will help meet emergency mental health needs.
The MCAT and other health
leaders will also be reeducating
the public on how to access appropriate services and will be
expanding their reach through
several counties.
“Further, the transportation
of patients in need of acute care
must be fine-tuned. Transitioning away from police transfers for patients that are not
dangerous to ambulance and
other transportation means will
be a high priority in order to
maximize public safety, reduce
pressure on public resources,
and ensure appropriate means
of care.
“As we revise the service
model in Otsego County, and
the surrounding region, it is imperative that we maximize our
resources and evolve to deliver
services through new channels.
I am committed to securing any
available state dollars to help
implement this transformation
and, I believe our health care
professionals, college leaders,
and municipal officials, working cooperatively, are up to the
challenge ahead.

Bainbridge made their annual donation to the Bainbridge Soup Kitchen located in the

W. Lambrecht, vice commander, Post 806 to Dave Trolley and Vikki Ostrander, volunteer
staff members at the Bainbridge Soup Kitchen. We would also like to recognize Charlie
Lord, a member of American Legion Post 806 for 57 years who volunteered his time to

in 2012 but his memory and the good works he accomplished live on. This donation and
other services Slater-Silvernail Post 806 provides to the Bainbridge Community are only
made possible through the revenue earned from the chicken barbecues, which the Post
806 holds four times a year in April, July, October and November. Support Post 806 at

IT WAS A COLD DAY Saturday, April 5 and can you believe there was snow in the
air? But all of the die hard fans of the ladies of Beta Sigma Phi, Preceptor Beta Kappa
Chapter, Sidney, were out in force to help with our Brooks BBQ. Without all of our great
friends and family this would not have been such a success. Thank you everyone who
took the time to wait in the not-so-nice weather to buy barbecue ribs, chicken, homemade salads, or whatever you purchased. We hope to see you next year at the same
