SVMPA Announces Completion of Phase II
At the Sidney Veterans Memorial Park
SIDNEY - The Sidney Veterans Memorial Park Association (SVMPA) has completed
Phase II of the Sidney Veterans Memorial Park (SVMP)
project.
Phase II consisted of masonry work on the memorial wall, installation of metal
lettering for the signage on
the street side of the memorial wall, concrete work on
the wall walkway, flag court
foundations, and installation
of flag poles. The cost for
Phase II was projected to be
more than $35,000 and with
annual fundraising at less than
half that amount, the SVMPA
requested additional assistance from area businesses
and organizations. The call for
additional help from the community was answered quickly with the Sidney Central
School Alumni Association,
the Sidney chapter of Sons of
the American Legion, Sidney
Elks Lodge and John’s Garage
each donating $3,000 for purchase of flagpoles. Mirabito
Holdings, Inc. capped off the
special drive with a very generous $12,000 to purchase the
last three of seven poles required for the flag court, and
to provide additional funds
for Phase III of construction.
Several of these organizations
and businesses were previous
donors to the project and their
continuing support and enthusiasm for the community park
project is greatly appreciated.
The concrete foundation
for the memorial wall walkway, flag court, flagpole bases
and flagpole installation was
completed by Jim Wakeman
of Wakeman Construction.
Jim has continued to offer his
very generous support on the
project after donating his time
to pour concrete and construct
the memorial wall during
Phase I. The memorial wall
masonry work was completed
earlier in the summer by Dennis Edwards of Set-N-Stone,
who also donated $1,500 in
labor to the project. The bright
white metal letters which have
officially announced the presence of the park at Route 8 and
River Street, were made by
Northeast Fabricators of Walton, they also made a donation of $500 in labor. A special

Veterans Memorial Park are shown here.
thanks goes out to these excellent craftsmen for their hard
work and generous donations
to our park.
Phase III, scheduled to begin next spring, will be the
final phase prior to dedication of the park, currently
planned for Memorial Day
2015. This final phase of the
park will include construction of the reinforced concrete
base for the main walkway
and central plaza, installation
of pavers on the walkways
and plaza, the foundation and
pedestal for and placement
of the main bluestone monument, installation of risers and
all bronze work and accoutrements, mounting of granite
veteran memorial plaques and
nameplates, installation of
security and accent lighting
and landscaping. The SVMPA
will again be looking to the
community for their continuing generous support for this
final phase during their annual
fundraising efforts throughout
the winter.

Next Week:
Holiday parades held recently in
Afton, Bainbridge and Sidney and
festive happenings in Unadilla will be

For The Holidays
SUPPORTING ORPHANS AROUND THE WORLD has been a passion for Bainbridge
Rotarian Ken Wilcox, shown here with several children.
Rotary Recognizes Ken Wilcox
As District Rotarian of the Month
BAINBRIDGE - Ken Wilcox, sponsored by Mike Wilcox (no relation), was initially
inducted into the Bainbridge
Rotary Club in April 1993.
Ken has served the Bainbridge
Rotary Club, Rotary District
7170, and The Rotary Foundation in many capacities.
For the Bainbridge Rotary
Club he has written several
community grant requests
from the Rotary District and
the Rotary International Foundations as well as other outside grants. Ken was awarded
the prestigious “Paul Harris
Fellow” from the Bainbridge
Rotary Club in 2008 for all he
has done for the club.
Besides his involvement
with Rotary, Ken co-founded
an organization to support
orphans around the world,
“Orphan Cry” (www.orphancryinternational.org & www.
orphancry.org). This not-forprofit organization makes a
meaningful difference in the
lives of orphan children in
the Russian Federation, Liberia West Africa and Myanmar. This is accomplished
not only by financial support
but with regular shipments of
needed items such as clothes,
medicine, toys and school
supplies.
More important than this,
Ken shows the children that
they are loved with personal
visits; in fact Ken has made
over 30 trips to Russia and
several to Liberia. On two occasions Ken received a letter
of commendation from the
Russian Minister of Health for
projects involving assistance
to a Russian Blood Donation
Center. Both projects were
joint ventures of Orphan Cry
and Rotary. Ken has also met
personally with the Vice President of Liberia regarding humanitarian projects that he has
imitated in that country. His
organization supports several
Liberian orphanages, assists
a community rice farm, and
sponsors an annual “Orphan
Cry” football (soccer) tournament for orphan children.
In 2007 he coordinated
a Rotary International Humanitarian grant and took
four Bainbridge Rotarian’s to

Sidney School Holds Drive For
Chenango County Toys for Tots
SIDNEY - The Sidney
Central School freshman
class reached out to help the
Chenango County Toys for
Tots program.
A recent fire wiped out about
$8,000 worth of stored toys
for the program. The freshman class went on a quest last
week to try and help replenish
the stock, working on a fundraiser in the school.
“I asked the kids if they
wanted to do it and they
were excited to help,” freshman class advisor Bonnie
Schoonover said. “It’s awful
for something like this to happen this time of year. I brought
this to them and they wanted
to give back.”
The class helped raise 50
toys and $50 in monetary
donations.
The ninth graders worked
to drum up donations from in
and out of the school. Sidney
offered drop areas at main offices in each school building.
Unwrapped toys or monetary
donations were accepted.
The school packed up the
toy donations Monday, Dec.
9, to give to the Toys for Tots
program.
“I’m extremely proud that
our students were able to give
Cullman Center Uses Grant to Purchase
Outdoor Blocks for Children’s Playground
SIDNEY - The Cullman
Child Development Center,
located in Sidney, was recently awarded a grant from
the Sidney United Way and
the O’Connor Foundation in
Hancock. This grant allowed
the center to purchase a set of
large wooden outdoor blocks,
which are on the playground at
the center. The large blocks deliver all of the benefits normally associated with open-ended
block play – math and science,
language skills, socialization,
but in a wood designed specifically for outdoor use. They
are guaranteed to last for over
10 years of outdoor imagina-
tive play, and the children at
the center have been having a
great time with them.
The Cullman Child Development Center is a licensed
childcare center, with over 90
children enrolled at the center. They enroll children both
part time and full time, they
have a very popular preschool
program, as well as programs
for infants and toddlers and a
school-age program for afterschool and vacation and snowdays. The Cullman Center has
been located in Sidney for
over 20 years, and it is a notfor-profit corporation. There
are children from the four
surrounding counties enrolled
at the center, and it is a great
community resource.
The Sidney United Way
recently kicked off its annual
campaign, which supports a
variety of local not-for-profits,
including the Cullman Center.
For more information about
how to support this campaign,
please contact the Sidney United Way. The United Way grant
was matched by the O’Connor
Foundation, based in Hancock,
which supports not-for-profits
in this area. The Cullman Center was very grateful to both of
these groups for their support.
back in a time of need like
this,” Sidney Superintendent
Bill Christensen said. “Though
this was a terrible situation, we
hope our students were able to
help as much as they could
during this holiday season.”

Over 300 children attended
a special cartoon show at the
Sidney Theatre for which the
only admission was a can of
food. They collected 333 cans
of food to be distributed by the
Elks Club with the Christmas
baskets which various organizations are giving to needy
families. The theatre was operated free through the courtesy of the manager James
Richards. Projectionist Otto
Ray also donated his time.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Zehner
say “this will be the most
wonderful Christmas they
ever had.” They came to this

Opportunities
I am a Boy Scout from Troop

you to express the need for
more boys in our Troop. We
would also like to see a Pack
restarted in Masonville.
Some benefits to being a
Boy Scout are you get to go
camping, go to camp for the
summer and have better job
opportunities. You also learn
life skills that you could save
a life with, and you get to
meet new people. If you go on
to become an Eagle Scout, it
benefits you in anything you
do, like getting a job or higher
rank in the military etc.

A CHEERFUL
PROSPECT
BY ALICIA (MARSLAND)
GEROMEL
On the Christianity of
Christmas
A young friend, a high
school senior, on Facebook: “I
am going to be preached to all
week about how I am pagan
and some people have actually
called me Pagan.”
Is it not annoying enough
that we have atheists attacking nativity displays (I was
pleased to note this had not
happened to the nativity scene
on the Greene library lawn
last year) without the occasional attack by some fellow
Christians on those who wish
to celebrate a perfectly innocuous, joyful holiday? Even
if it WERE “pagan,” it would
be good, as food and drink and
beauty and laughter and generosity are good. Yes, there are
excesses, and there are people
who don’t “get” the message,
but this is true of every human
enterprise. Why pick especially on Christmas?
But, in fact, there is not a
shred of evidence that Christmas is not exactly what most
Christians take it to be, a Christian holiday. For those who
claim it’s obviously a Winter
Solstice observance, it is only
necessary to say that Christmas was once held around
Jan. 6, three weeks AFTER
the solstice. (January 6 was,
for a long time after the calendar change, known as “Old
Christmas Day.” Even today,
some Orthodox churches still
celebrate Christmas then.)
In at least one case in history, Christmas came first and
the Pagan celebration followed
after. If that sounds weird,
keep in mind that in the latter days of Rome, Christianity
was spreading, becoming both
legal and popular. Two things
that attracted outsiders were:
1) caring for the poor, widows
and orphans; 2) celebrating
Christmas with presents (in
memory of the Gifts of the
Magi). So the Roman pagans
invented “The Festival of the
Ever-glorious Sun” as a rival,
held about the same time of
year, hoping to overwhelm the
memory of a child born in a
manger.
Oh, well, that hasn’t
happened.
It is true that Christians, as
they moved into the barbarian world, “baptized” some
customs they came in contact
with. This was an evangelism
technique, saying, “You don’t
have to abandon ALL your
loved customs, just the bad
ones,” and not all missionaries did it. Then, as now, there
were disputes about whether
this was a good idea. However, in practice, given that people don’t change that easily, it
is what happened. Thus, infant
exposure (dumping babies in
the woods if you didn’t want
them) was finally eradicated,
but less ghastly customs were
spared and given Christian interpretations, as with Samhain,
a Celtic “feast of the dead.” It
became All Saint’s Day (All
Hallows). The dressing up (to
disguise and protect oneself
from ghosts) became simply
innocent merry-making.
Unfortunately, Satan worship is a perennial shadow
that has followed Christianity
down through the ages. Thus,
some, such as those who torch
Detroit on Devil’s Night,
turn the children’s frivolity
into a costly and cruel tradition. Frankly, though, wiping
out Halloween isn’t likely to
wipe out such people or such
actions, only make the world
more grim, so why go there?

HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,065
by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
DECEMBER 2013
Daniel Grant was a well-known name in Afton for many years. He
was born on what was known as the N.B. Stowell farm where a large
yellow house stands on the right side of Route 7, just before the
railroad underpass on the way to Nineveh. The farm was originally
settled by Hezekiah Stowell, a Vermont Sufferer.
Daniels’s mother was Allia Stowell who married George A. Grant.
He had sisters Amelia and Charlotte and a brother Stowell B. Grant.
He grew up on his parent’s farm and graduated fron Afton High
School in 1902, one of a class of 13 students, very large for those
times. The farm house burned in the 1890’s and I suppose that the
family lost everything.
Daniel married Aurelia Bresee, daughter of Chester Bresee, who
lived in the large brick house at the south end of the village, near
Henry’s Drive-In. Daniel eventually took over the farm which he operated for many years. I remember a time when his barn caught fire,
apparently from damp bales of hay which overheated, By removing
Daniel Grant, a longbales from the hay mow very rapidly, the barn was saved.

Charles Decker
Daniel must have been very energetic as a person as he ran his
farm and for many years was Afton’s Postmaster. His first stint was
from 1915 to 1922, when he succeeded Peter Krum. He was then replaced by Lewis Fredenburg for 13
years. In 1935 he again became Postmaster and continued until 1955. The ‘old Post Office was in the
middle section of what is now Vincent’s Italian Restaurant. He was succeeded by Mildred Merrell who
had worked with him in the Post Office. She moved to the present Post Office when it was built.
Daniel was also an active Mason. In 1913 he was Master of Afton Lodge No. 360, F.& A.M. That
lodge merged with Bainbridge after the fire in 1980 which destroyed the Masonic Rooms over the
present Vincent’s.
Daniel Grant died December 20, 1966 at age 81. Aurelia outlived him and died on May 25, 1980 at
age 97. They are buried in Glenwood Cemetery.

Holiday Season
As we enter this holiday
season let us think about all
the gifts we have in our lives.
Some gifts are our families
here and away, friends, our
teachers who teach our children with patience and care,
the policemen who try to keep
our lives safe, our servicemen
and women who are guarding
our country from near and far
and won’t be able to be with
their families at this time of
the year, those who have lost
loved ones, just to name a few.
We hope all may be able to get
where they need to be even
though the weather out there
seems to be causing travel
delays.
Personals
We received a phone call
from our granddaughter in
Sidney that our great-grandson, seven-month old Devin
James Carey, son of Felicia
Scott and James Carey, was
just diagnosed with leukemia.
Devin is presently receiving
treatments in Upstate Children’s Hospital in Syracuse.
Felicia will not leave his side
and is staying there with him.
He will be having a long stay
at the hospital and Felicia has
given me their address if anyone would like to send some
cards and prayers for him.
The address is (as it needs
to be written):
Felicia Scott
Devin Carey
c/o Upstate Children’s
Hospital
Floor 11-G, Room 29
750 East Adams St.
Syracuse, NY 13210
I’m sure Felicia and Devin
would like to hear from friends
as Devin is presently receiving chemo treatments for his
condition and it is going to be
a long and stressful time for
them both.

Sidney Central School Unveils
New iPad Initiative for 2013-14
SIDNEY - The educational
landscape in the Sidney Central School District is changing quickly. Sidney has implemented a 1-to-1 iPad Initiative
for the 2013-14 school year,
giving every student in grades
7-12 an Apple iPad to use. The
technology will be utilized in
conjunction with Schoology, a
learning management system.
Students and parents signed
permission slips, which outlined expectations and policies for acceptable use. Teacher training has been ongoing
for the past three years and
instruction will start to be migrated to a more 21st century
platform.
Mackenzie DeCocker, a
seventh-grade physical science teacher, has taught science for 12 years. She’s using the iPad in class for the
second year. The technology
has proven to be invaluable in
helping her students.
“In the past, when drawing atom structures, we’d use
chalk and a chalkboard or a
whiteboard,” DeCocker said.
“It would take a tremendous
amount of time. With the iPad,
we learned to draw atoms in
about five minutes. “They can
visualize the particles and see
the energy in the atom,” she
said.
The benefits outweigh the
negatives. In a society that
is becoming more and more
driven by technology, teachers can use the iPads for engaging, relevant, and age-appropriate resources to enhance
the learning experience, DeCocker said. On top of that,
it gives students a mode of
communication. In one of
her classes, DeCocker gave a
quick quiz, one which the students can see whether or not
they got the question right as
soon as they answer. Assessments can be created for immediate feedback and grades
can be accessed.
Thomas Cartossa, a 12year-old seventh grader at
Sidney, created an avatar in an
application called Tellagami.
He created a cartoon-like pre-
sentation to show how he uses
an iPad during science class.
It’s also somewhat second
nature to students. Cartossa
zipped around the iPad, showing off educational programs,
how they work and how he
uses them for classwork and
homework. “It’s great,” Cartossa said. “It’s been a lot easier for me to get my notes for
class. You don’t have to use a
pen and paper.”
DeCocker said the iPads also
speed up the learning process
as students will go through
assignments quickly. If they
finish, they have certain apps
– learning-tool games -- they
can use until the next part of
the lesson starts. “They learn
so fast,” she said. “I’m able to
provide more enriching content. There’s not as much time
spent copying notes.”
There are a few downfalls
– but ones DeCocker said
she isn’t upset about, such as
the time needed to research
resources and to convert previous materials into digital
format. Because students are
learning quicker, it’s also a
challenge to provide more enriching content. “That’s a good
problem to have,” she said.
Teachers also need to make
sure students know iPad etiquette, so they know what they
can and can’t do on a schoolowned iPad. “You have to give
them specific boundaries,”
DeCocker said. “You have to
teach them because they have
the universe at their fingertips.
You have to be watchful.”
The district utilized bulk
pricing and BOCES aid to
offset the cost of the iPads.
Sidney used a collaborative
purchasing program, which
means the total cost for the
district is very similar to what
the cost of annual textbooks
and instructional material
normally would be. The cost
of the iPad is essentially the
same amount of month as five
to six textbooks.
“The educational field has
seen a tremendous amount of
growth in the past few years,
and most of it is positive,”
said Sidney Superintendent
Bill Christensen. “What has
really changed is the technology in the schools. Classrooms,
libraries, and just about everywhere in schools, have started
to rely on technology more
and more.”
The iPads are a step toward
moving students using iPads
as textbooks. Christensen also
noted the school is looking to
have many more digital books
through the library.
Sidney Library

SIDNEY - The Sidney
Memorial Public Library
and branches will be closed
on Tuesday, Dec. 24, and
Wednesday, Dec. 25 for the
holidays.
BAINBRIDGE - Despite approximately 12” of snow and
last minute apprehension about
driving conditions, most members that had signed up for the
Christmas dinner of the Algonquin Auto Club of Bainbridge,
attended the annual dinner provided by the Knights of Columbus of Sacred Heart Church,
Sidney. The members had chosen in advance their choice of
chicken or prime rib dinners.
The dinner started with appetizers before the main course was
served. Everyone remarked very
favorably about the great serving
of their particular choices, complete with dessert. We are grateful to the Knights of Columbus
for coming out in the questionable weather and providing this
wonderful repast. Many, many
thanks to Joe Palumbo for making the arrangement with them.
We are sorry for the few that
were missing who weren’t there
to also enjoy.
Crafty favors in the form of
tin vegetable cans decorated
in holiday paper and holiday
Christmas candies and goodies
were provided by Linda Whitaker and Donna Barney. In addition, they decorated the tables
with poinsettias, for which a
drawing was held for each table
for the women to take home
with them. Each member attending was asked to bring a gift for
exchange; men for a man and
women for a woman. Everyone
seemed delighted with their surprise gift. Most that were given
were of a very useful nature.
We thank Charlie Davis
for once again bringing our
long-time member, Bill Deering, from the New York Veterans Home, Oxford to join us.
All members greeted him and
thought he looked very well as
the result of his new care facility. At the same time, we had to
say good-bye to Charlie Davis
until March. After the loss of
his wife this past year, Charlie
is going to be making his way
to Texas, hopefully driving his
new car, to visit with his children for the holidays. Although
we will miss him for a couple of
months, we are happy he will be
able to enjoy the holidays with
family.
Our next meeting for the New
Year will be held back at the
Bainbridge Museum on Jan. 5,
2014 at 1:30 p.m. We would appreciate it if all members would
attend, if possible, as we will
be talking about formatting our

IN MEMORIAM
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
THOMAS A. GOODRICH
December 19, 1946August 24, 2012
The moment that you died
My heart was torn in two,
One side filled with heartache,
The other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
and
Take a walk down memory
lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my
heart
And there you will remain,
Until the joyous day arrives,
That we will meet again.
- Unknown
Happy birthday in heaven.
Always on our minds, forever
in our hearts.

AFTON’S MATT OLIN pulls down a rebound in
Thursday night against B-G. The Crimson Knights won
the game, 46-45, on a three-pointer by Darian Heath
with one second left in the contest.

Afton Boys Beat B-G with
Buzzer-Beating Three
AFTON – Darian Heath
wasn’t the primary option on
Afton’s game-winning play,
but no one was complaining
with the result on the Crimson
Knights’ side.
Heath buried a threepointer with one second left
to lift Afton (3-1) to the 46-45
Midstate Athletic Conference
boys’ basketball victory over
visiting Bainbridge-Guilford
Thursday night.
Down a deuce and coming
out of a timeout, Afton broke
B-G’s full-court press and got
the ball to Kyle Hinman down
low, who was the primary
option for a possible tying
basket.
B-G doubled down on
Hinman (team-high 11 points
and 11 rebounds), leaving
Heath open at the left wing.
Hinman found Heath, who
calmly drained the trey for the
gamer.
The Bobcats inbounded but
could not get a shot off.
Heath finished with 10
points for the Crimson
Knights, who trailed 23-18 at
half.
Dylan Moffitt and Lucas
Butcher led B-G with 13 and
12 points, respectively.
KYLE HANVEY pulls
up for a jumper in
the first quarter of
Bainbridge-Guilford’s
46-45 loss at Afton
Thursday night.

To Touch Your EASTERN BROOME
Heart
SENIOR CENTER
(I found this poem, probably 25 years ago, in a little
Christmas shop in Plattsburg.
It touched my heart and I’ve
shared it with many people
since then.
It still touches my heart and
I’d like to share it with still
more people. I came across
it recently stashed with some
of my “stuff” and it seems as
meaningful now as it did then,
maybe even more so, considering the difficult times we’re
all going through.
I hope it touches your hearts
as well.

A HOLIDAY COOKIE BAKING TRADITION started 20 years ago by Bainbridge residents Caroline and Sam DiNoto and their daughters continues today. The family recently
gathered at the home of Caroline (DiNoto) and Paul Laing of Bainbridge for a day devoted to baking thousands of holiday cookies. The family keeps a “cookie bake” journal
each year which logs the day’s weather, lunch menu, recipe blunders and other amusing notes about kitchen merriment. Donna (DiNoto) and her husband Doug Holdrege,
formerly of Deposit, were recognized for traveling the farthest, from Spring Hill, Fla., with
their daughter, Jenny and granddaughter, Annabelle. Some recipes from the day of baking can be found online at cookiebake.wordpress.com.

At the end of each year
The heavens must glow
From all that we say
And the love that we show.
Imagine
If all of us tried
Each day of this year
To reach out to sadness,
And darkness, and fear,
We’d send forth a beacon
Of goodness and light.
We’d open our hearts
To that which is right.
By the end of this year
We could light up the sky.
If only we’d love.
If only we’d try.
In bringing Peace
To the world
We all play a part.
The peace that is Christmas
Must start in each heart.
