Sidney to Welcome Santa
With Jolly Holly Days Parade
SIDNEY - Following what
has become a tradition in Sidney, the Sidney Chamber of
Commerce is getting ready
to welcome Santa and Mrs.
Claus with the Jolly Holly
Days Parade.
This year’s popular holiday
event, sponsored by ACCO
Brands, will be held Friday,
Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m. and will include a variety of floats decked
out with sparkling lights and
holiday decorations, as well as
marching groups with holiday
messages.
The much anticipated arrival of Santa is a highlight of the
festive parade that thrills the
young and young-at-heart.
Following the parade, Santa
will be at his Sidney headquarters at the Sacred Heart
Church building on Liberty
St. to greet the children.
Mark your calendar for
Friday, Dec. 5 and the Jolly

Fund Drive is Underway
For Unadilla Playground
UNADILLA - The Unadilla
Elementary School playground
has for years provided a place
that children could enjoy, both
during school and after school
hours. Programs such as the
Unatego After School Care
Program and the Summer Rec
Program use this facility as
well. Families and friends can
regularly be seen there benefiting from some quality time together also.
The playground has been
well-loved for close to 30
years. However, the playground
equipment is quickly coming to
the end of its usable life. Having and maintaining a safe and
usable playground is important
for the enjoyment of the entire
community. Unfortunately, the
district is unable to help fund
new playground equipment at
this time. For this reason the
Unadilla PTO has taken on the
challenge of raising the funds
for a new main unit.
The playground committee
has researched and found fantastic new playground structures that will serve the needs
of students and the community
for many years to come. The
committee is hoping to take ad-
vantage of some end-of-modelyear incentives which will allow for a discount of up to 50%.
The anticipated total cost of this
project is $30,000 – a large goal
but more than attainable with
the community’s help.
In addition to a letter campaign, various fund raisers and
numerous grants that are being
sought; the Unadilla PTO, is
seeking additional donations
through the end of the year.
If you would like to help with
this project by making a tax
deductible donation, please
send a check made out to: Unadilla PTO, to the Unadilla Elementary School, 265 Main St.,
Unadilla, NY, 13849. Include
“playground donation” in the
memo line. If you should have
any questions or would like
more information contact Kim
Gascon, PTO president, at 3696200 or kgascon@unatego.
stier.org.
The Unadilla PTO looks
forward to the children of the
Unatego communities having
a safe and reliable place at Unadilla Elementary School where
they can play and make lasting
memories for years to come.

ELMIRA — The American
Red Cross asks eligible donors
to give something that means
something this holiday season
– a lifesaving blood donation.
Blood donations often decline this time of year when
donors get busy with holiday
festivities and travel. Severe
winter weather and seasonal
illnesses, like the flu, can
also have a serious impact on
blood donations, but the need
for blood remains steady. On
average, the Red Cross must
collect 15,000 blood products
every day for patients across
the country.
Eligible donors with all
types are needed, especially those with O negative,
A negative and B negative.
To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an
appointment, download the
Red Cross Blood Donor App,

Thanksgiving and Hospice:
Where Blessings Abound
By Lola Rathbone
Thanksgiving is about family, traditions and a time to be
thankful for life’s blessings.
Hospice, too, is about family, traditions and a time to be
thankful for life’s blessings.
Thanksgiving comes once a
year. Everyday we are privileged to offer a wide variety of
“Thanksgivings” to our Hospice families.
One “variety” is the wonderful story of a Hospice family’s “early celebration” of the
traditional Christmas they had
always loved. They said, let’s
have Christmas in November!
Why wait when life is good
now, taking advantage of the
quality time they had together as they wanted it to be the
best, most perfect experience
that they could have. It was
everything they had hoped for
and they will be forever grateful for this special blessing.
Additional simple, yet poignant “varieties” have included father and son fishing trips,
dinner out with family and
friends and many, many more.
Right now we are helping one
of our patients plan a family
reunion. His family is com-

ing in from out of town where
they will all get together for a
wonderful dinner and a time
sharing memories and creating
new ones. What a blessing!
These experiences inspire
me to remember at all times
that our Hospice is here to
provide Hospice families with
their “Thanksgiving,” regardless of what time of year it is.
Our goal is to help patients
and families “Feel Better” so
they can “Live Better.” This
can often result in people living longer than those who do
not use Hospice.
Because so many people
have caught on to using Hospice much sooner, they not
only have the time, they have
the “quality of time” needed to
benefit from the opportunity of
making their “Thanksgivings”
possible. In life, we only get
one shot at making these beautiful, lifelong memories – it is
our privilege and commitment
to everyone we serve.
November is National Hospice Month but we celebrate
Hospice everyday through the
stories and experiences our
Hospice families give to us.
We are here for you, to
help you “Feel and Live Better,” and to help make your
“Thanksgiving Wishes” come
true.

Care.)

FROM
N.Y. STATE SENATOR
JAMES L. SEWARD
A Time To Give Thanks
While I typically devote my
weekly column to the work of
state government and the efforts of the New York State
Senate to propose, craft and
pass laws that would improve
our lives, this week I wanted
to take a momentary departure
to observe one of the governmental roots of Thanksgiving.
Historians trace the origins
of the modern Thanksgiving
observance to 1621 and a celebration held at Plymouth Plantation. From that time, various events were held to mark
military victories, bountiful
harvests and other significant
milestones. Then, in 1789,
President George Washington
issued a historic proclamation
designating Thursday November 26th as “A Day of Public
Thanksgiving and Prayer.”
Later, in 1863 in the midst of
the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued his own
proclamation.
Proclamation of
Thanksgiving
Washington D.C.
October 3, 1863
The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled
with the blessings of fruitful
fields and healthful skies. To
these bounties, which are so
constantly enjoyed that we
are prone to forget the source
from which they come, others
have been added which are of
so extraordinary a nature that
they cannot fail to penetrate
and soften even the heart
which is habitually insensible
to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war
of unequaled magnitude and
severity, which has sometimes
seemed to foreign states to
invite and to provoke their
aggression, peace has been
preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the
laws have been respected and
obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in
the theater of military conflict,
while that theater has been
greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of
the Union.
Needful diversions of
wealth and of strength from
the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense
have not arrested the plow, the
shuttle, or the ship; the ax has
enlarged the borders of our
settlements, and the mines,
as well as the iron and coal as
of our precious metals, have
yielded even more abundantly
than heretofore. Population
has steadily increased notwithstanding the waste that
has been made in the camp, the
siege, and the battlefield, and
the country, rejoicing in the
consciousness of augmented
strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of
years with large increase of
freedom.

roof trusses are all in place.
These trusses were made by
P&R Truss Co. in the Sidney
Industrial Park. The brick facing on the front of the building
is also over half done and appears to be a perfect match for
the present Central Fire Station which it adjoins.

A CHEERFUL PROSPECT
BY ALICIA (MARSLAND) GEROMEL
I think I observed last year
that November plays host to
spectacular sunsets. This has
something to do with the numerous partly cloudy days,
brilliant sun interspersed with
dark and light stormy looking
contingents of clouds scudding overhead. It must also be
a function of the sun’s angle
at this time of year, so that the
sinking light illuminates more
mist and cumulus than do
summer’s more direct rays.
It occurs to me that, as children, we get many of our attitudes about weather, not from
the weather itself, but from
the influences around us, the
comments adults make, the
calendars in our classrooms
showing seasonal pictures,
the books we read and so
on. Thus, we construct a stereotypical response to given
months. February, November and March tend to get
the worst reputations, so that
we do not look forward, but
rather lament their arrival. But
each actual month is a surprise package not yet opened.
It is likely we miss some of
its beauties and joys when we
dismiss the gift out of hand.
You can get some lovely
days in November, like last
week’s one day with temperatures in the high 50s, a sun
peeking through a misty sky
and only a light breeze. It is
a pleasure to do hard physical
work outside on such a day,
as exertion only warms you
just enough and if you get hot,
you can take off a sweater or
roll up your sleeves. The birds
chirp and squawk as if it were
early spring, the leaves being
raked exude a pungent order
of forest floors, and an all
round good time is had by all.
Then the polar vortex/polar
invasion/whatever the latest
spooky name for an ordinary
cold front is, comes swooping down with blustery winds
and rags of snow, and we feel
dramatic and cozy both at
the same time. Hot ice and
very strange snow, a climatic
oxymoron.
One thing November can
do without, is not a kind of
weather, but the current mashing together of holidays, which
I doubt that anyone truly likes.
A meme on Facebook shows a
turkey with a Santa hat sitting
on a pumpkin, calling it “Merry Chrithanksween” and that
is a pretty accurate depiction
of what we are splatted in the
face with currently. The candy
corn is on sale, the frozen turkeys are competing with assembly line Christmas trees,
and we are merely glazed
in the eyes, certainly not inspired. And where are the poor
Pilgrim boys and girls? I don’t
think I’ve seen one. When
holidays are mashed, their individual flavor and spirit are
mashed, too, or ground into
the dust. I hereby make a resolution to let every store owner
know just how much I deplore
it and that, if they play Christmas music before Dec. 1, a
ridiculously early date, even
then, I will not be patronizing
the store until it actually is ‘the
Christmas Season” Advent really, but one step at a time.
In Oregon, it is against the
law to use canned corn as
fish bait.

PAT STAFFORD is the owner of Kelsey Manor for Adults
in Afton.
Afton Area Chamber Spotlights
Kelsey Manor Home for Adults
AFTON - The Greater Afton Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to spotlight a
local business that fulfills a
need for a generation of baby
boomers who require a place
to live, companionship and/
or special care in their elder
years.
Pat Stafford, owner of
Kelsey Manor Home for
Adults in Afton, became a
full-time cosmetologist in
1964. Involvement in this
work brought her in contact
with many people of various
age groups and backgrounds.
As she looks back over the
past 50 years, she remembers
that she came to the realization that many of her dearest
friends were at least 25 years
her senior. Through the years
she would take friends and
family into her home after illnesses to help them recuperate until they were ready to
go home, or she would stay
with them nights in their own
homes.
In 1994, a local adult home
had a troublesome resident and
asked Pat if she would care for
him and his wife to alleviate
the problem. She decided that
it was time to apply for State
Certification and to do this
work “for real” as a business.
Pat recognized the need for
eldercare and knew that she
had a real aptitude for what
was required. Consequently,
she became a part-time cosmetologist and a full-time
caregiver.
In 2004, at her location at
215 Main Street in Afton, Pat
saw the necessity for all her
residents to be on the ground
floor with private rooms and
half baths and, of course, a
handicapped entrance. The
Home was upgraded to its
current state. For the past 18
years there have been a total of 50 residents at Kelsey
Manor Home for Adults. At
this time, there are the maximum number of six men and
women in residence.
Pat employs three part-time
assistants, Linda Estelle, Cindi Heath and Susan Harmon.
Together they see that their
residents get proper medical
care and have a safe and enjoyable stay in pleasant, homey surroundings.
Questions about Kelsey
Manor Home for Adults
should be directed to Pat
Stafford at 639-1164.

by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
NOVEMBER 2014
Last week, I believe it was
Wednesday night, I took
a friend to Oneonta to do
some shopping at a plaza.
The weather was fine on the
way there, but as soon as we
got into my pickup to come
home, it began to snow. It
came down harder and harder and soon the lines on the
road could not be seen in the
darkness.
The sound from the rumble
strip was the only way that I
could tell if I were in the travel
lane. A few tractor trailers Truck-drawn snowplow on Orchard Street in 1926. The house
passed us and blotted out is the recent Fenner residence. Picture from Dr. J.J. Francis

snow that they left in their
wake.
I had been hearing on the news about the terrific storm in the Buffalo area and all of the problems
caused by it -blocked roads and collapsing roofs. I was wondering if we would get a similar storm. By
the time we reached Afton, there was only a slight flurry. The next day the ground was mostly bare
again, even on Belden Hill. The storm could have been only a nightmare.
For several years, my brother Ray lived in Houghton, Michigan, also snow country. A thermometerlike sign showed a record year of over 300 inches of snow. When he moved in, he asked his neighbor
where he should put his garbage cans and bird feeder. He was advised to put the garbage cans in the
garage and the bird feeder on the roof of the garage, where he could get to it with his snowmobile.
One day, after a heavy storm, Ray’s wife Mary decided that she would shovel the driveway. She
opened the overhead door from the inside and found the opening almost completely blocked to the
top. She changed her mind and closed the door quickly.
I have snapshots from Afton, taken in 1926, the year in which I was born. One shows my Uncle
George Decker standing amid deep piles of snow next to his new store — the office of Grace Lee,
across Daly Drive from the Afton Inn.
Another snapshot, the same year, was taken in front of what is now Vincent’s Italian Restaurant.

Quote of the Week
Our quote of the week is
from Henry W. Longfellow:
“Most people would succeed
in small things if they were
not troubled with great ambitions.” For a comment for this,
most of us have some great
ambitions we wish to accomplish, but maybe we should
be able to tackle all the small
things that are in the way and
need to be done before we try
to accomplish something even
bigger than we can handle.
Work your way to that great
accomplishment and keep on
trying to reach your goal.
School News
A great goal in life is to accomplish your education and
go on to even greater goals in
your life, even if you may run
into some difficulties along
the way. Good luck to all you
students out there, school
is very challenging. Have a
great and safe Thanksgiving
break from Wednesday, Nov.
26 until you return to classes
on Monday, Dec. 1. Tuesday,
Dec. 2 there is a PTO meeting
in the elementary LMC room
at 6 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 4 is Financial Aid Night in the high
school cafeteria at 6 p.m. Try
to make this meeting as it is
very challenging to find funds
for schooling these days and
these meetings can show you
how to get the help that is out
there.
On the Farm
Here on the farm we have
been very busy with the births
of many calves. It is quite challenging to try to keep them all
fed and well for the colder
weather. Most of the claves
have been heifers and we try
to keep them. Bull calves are
doing well at the sale this year
and all farmers are quite satisfied. The wood cutting for the
winter has come to a stop for
a while because of the weather
and preparing the barn for the
cold. The rains are making it
warmer, but traveling with the
spreader is getting more difficult. Our large spreader broke
down and is in for repair now
so it takes longer as the loaner
is smaller and more trips are
necessary. We hope all farmers are ready for the cold and
snow, we sure were glad the
remaining corn was harvested
and is off the fields before this
rain came, the combines can’t
work when it is raining.
Personals
On Saturday evening I
heard the fire whistle and
wondered where the fire was.
On Sunday morning I found
out where it was when our
daughter called and said it was
at our granddaughter’s home
in Bainbridge. Felicia Scott
and her daughter Kyanna were

Panda came in on Dec. 30,

in one of our colonies.
We have had him neutered,
he’s packed on a couple of
pounds (but not too much) and
he’s looking beautiful!
He gets along very well
with other cats and he loves
people visitors. He is a wonderful cat that just would love
to go home.
Let’s give Panda a special

the horrible time he had last

proud their mother was of her
heritage and that her daughter
had joined the DAR.
The ceremony was conducted by Oneonta Chapter
Regent Jeanne Westcott and
Chaplain Linda Sokolowski.
A marker was placed identifying Mrs. Moss as a member of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution.

SIDNEY - Tauna La Bare’s
self-contained special education class got a treat on Halloween. The group received a
visit from Sidney couple Mike
and Alberta Barnard. The Barnards are blind and brought
their service dogs to the classroom to answer questions and
showed many ways they use
technology and other ways to
do daily chores.
The visit was inspired by
the book La Bare’s class is
currently reading, “Follow My
Leader” by James Garfield.
The book follows Jimmy, who
is blinded in an accident with
a firecracker. He then has to
relearn all the things he used
to know. He’s helped by a determined therapist, who helps
Jimmy learn to read Braille
and how to use a cane. He
eventually is given the chance
to have a guide dog, Leader.
Over the past few weeks,
the students have explored
what it is like to be blind.
They’ve been blindfolded
and had to navigate through
the classroom, attempt to put
on a dress shirt and button it,
and try to get around the class
to get a certain object while
using clock times for their
directions, said La Bare. All
of these things were also experienced by the book’s main
character.
“As a culminating activity,
we had the guide dogs and the
Barnards come in to explain
how they got their guide dogs
and compare their experiences
with Jimmy (from the book),”
La Bare said.
The Barnards spent about
an hour with the class on Halloween, showing different
things they do each day and
answering a slew of inquisitive questions from the class.
They took students through a
journey of learning what it’s
like to live as a blind couple,
and showed that, in some aspects, how they live is no different than any other person.
The couple began by using
a Braille slate to write each
student’s name on an index
card, which allowed the students to have a keepsake of the
visit. While doing it, they explained to the students that the
slate was a way to take notes
if they were out and about. In
recent years, Mike also carries
a mini-recorder to speak into
and keep notes. Many of the
items the Barnards use in their
home each day have sound or
voice.
“Everything we have at
home, if it can, talks,” Alberta
said.
Mike and Alberta came
with their guide dogs, both
black labs, named Webster
and Loman. The dogs stayed
close and behaved at all times,
and the students asked many
questions about the dogs.
Mike and Alberta have had
to attend guide school for the
dogs, including a four-week
trip to California for Alberta.
The dogs not only have to
learn how to guide a person as
a service dog, but also have to
get used to their owner.
The class was very interested in the dogs and learned that
they have bells on the dogs,
so when in the house, Mike
and Alberta can make sure the
dogs aren’t getting into any
trouble. It’s also very important to make sure to ask before
petting a service dog.
They have both had multiple dogs during their lifetime,
and much like humans, the
dogs eventually are retired.
Mike said you’ll know
when it’s time for a guide dog
to retire because they show
different tendencies, such as
shaking or trembling during
important situations, or forgetting certain things. Sometimes
the behavior changes can be
subtle. They also noted that
they’d rather retire a dog early
than wait too long.
“They helped us,” Alberta
said. “We look to help them,
so we give them retirement a
little early.”
With multiple dogs during
their lifetime, neither Barnard
said they could pick a favorite.
“It’s hard,” Mike said. “We
both liked our first because
they were our first. Each is
like a person. They are all different. All are loveable. I may
say this one is a clown, but he
is sweet. He puts his head on
you and loves you.” Added
Alberta: “They all have a way
to win your heart.”
Besides the two dogs, the
Barnards also have a cat, who
Alberta said adopted the couple about three years ago when
she came meowing at the back

Webster and Loman visited Tauna LaBare’s classroom
at the Sidney Central School.
door of their home.
Mike and Alberta met about
15 years ago, at guide dog
school. Before retiring, Mike
worked at Amphenol in Sidney, first on the assembly line
and later running and setting
up a punch press. Alberta used
to work with special needs
adults. At home, the couple
shares chores, ranging from
cooking to cleaning and fixing
things. Mike said he’s a griller
and, over time, has learned the
timing of his charcoal grilling, especially utilizing a thermometer that talks.
The Barnards also demonstrated and showed other items
to the students, including a clip
they put on a cup that whistles
when it’s full so they don’t
over pour something. They
have talking clocks, as well as
a small MP3-type player that
takes a small memory cards
for audio books.
“That’s how we listen to
books,” Mike said.
When preparing meals, they
utilize a scanner that reads
a barcode and tells what the
food it. If there’s no barcode,
they get used to feeling certain
boxes and such to know what
the item is. When they have
meat, Alberta vacuum seals
packages and labels them.
When shopping, they have
somebody with them who will
help get the items they need.
As part of their own activities, the students had worked
with trying to dress with the
dress shirt, so there were questions about putting clothes on.
Mike noted they look for tags
or a mark to note the front and
back. You can usually feel
what the item is and how to put
it on, he said. There was also
a question about tying shoes,
and as Alberta explained that
it’s something they’ve always
done and know what to do by
feel, she untied and tied her
shoes for the class to see.
“All of these activities (the
students did) and, most of all,
the visit from the Barnards and
their guide dogs, helped the
kids relate to the story more
and to have real-life experiences to add to the text that we
are reading.” La Bare said.

Delaware Habitat Remodels
Donated Home for Local Family
Bassett Establishes Call In Line for
Patients Possibly Exposed to Ebola
DELHI - After receiving
approval to begin remodeling
and expansion of a donated
home in the Delhi area, Habitat for Humanity of Delaware
County has begun its efforts to
make a home available for a
local family. The house, located on Spring Valley Rd., was
originally intended to be used
as a vacation cottage. When
the owners decided to divest
themselves of the cabin, rather than sell, they donated the
building to the Habitat Chapter. Agreements were completed, planning was initiated
and preparations were begun.
Now Habitat volunteers along
with members of the recipient
family will bring the house up
to all building code standards,
add a section to better accommodate the family and transfer
ownership.
John and Laura Synan
and their family are looking
forward to moving in to the
house as soon as the work is
completed and are excited
about being a Habitat family.
It is hoped that much of the
work can be completed by the
holidays. The local Habitat organization after going through
a difficult transition period is
COOPERSTOWN - Bassett Healthcare Network has
established a call in line for
patients concerned that they
may have been exposed to Ebola – that number is 547-5555
or toll free (877)-547-1745.
The number is a resource for
patients who have traveled
internationally or had close
contact with someone who recently traveled internationally
and was ill. Patients who fit
this criteria and are feeling ill
or who have questions about
possible symptoms are asked
to call the Ebola call in line at
Bassett to be connected with a
clinician trained to help them.
“The point of establishing
this call in line is to help the
patient and also control, as
much as possible, potential
contact with someone who
may be infected with the Ebola virus,” explains Chief of
Medicine Dr. Charles Hyman,
an infectious disease specialist at Bassett Medical Center
in Cooperstown. “Calls will
be triaged by clinical staff
trained to screen and advise
the patient of next steps. The
point is to reduce the risk that
others will be needlessly exposed and get the individual
the appropriate care at the appropriate facility as quickly as
possible.”
Patients who call in will be
asked such questions as: Have
you traveled internationally,
and if so where? Have you had
close contact with someone
who recently traveled internationally and was ill? Do you
have a fever, cough, trouble
breathing, rash, vomiting or
diarrhea?
Depending on the answers
to those questions, the patient
will be directed to take the appropriate next steps.
Hyman says, “We want to
provide care as effectively as
possible and provide peace of
mind to patients who meet the
criteria and are worried. We
are also hoping to avoid having
patients who may have been
exposed to Ebola showing up
at various points within the
also looking forward to completion as this marks the first
house build for the Delaware
County Chapter in over five
years and the eighth since the
local chapter was formed.
Habitat President Jill Ogden
stated, “We are now at a point
where we need individuals and
organizations to come forward
to assist us in this endeavor.
The sooner that we can get this
completed, the sooner that we
can get the Synan family into
their new home. We also need
cash donations to cover the
cost of materials and for work
that is unable to be completed
voluntarily.”
Habitat for Humanity is
an international organization
that, employing Christian
principles, uses volunteer labor and donated funds to enable families with limited resources to purchase a home.
Habitat families are in turn
expected to donate “sweat equity” toward the house build
as well as to enter into a mortgage agreement with the local
Habitat Chapter.

delivery system. In addition to
delaying the identification of a
possible case of the virus, the
patient’s travel around the network could expose others who
also then need to be identified
and monitored.”
Bassett has also established
an Ebola information page on
its website www.bassett.org to
update the public on the network’s preparedness efforts
and provide the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Ebola Preparedness
Team for the Bassett Healthcare Network has been meeting regularly to coordinate the
network’s response, mobilize
resources, and develop plans
and review protocols to manage suspected cases in the
event a patient presents at a
network facility with possible
symptoms of Ebola. Executive Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer Bertine
McKenna, Ph.D., who leads
the preparedness team along
with Dr. Hyman, notes, “While
an Ebola case is considered a
low probability in the region
Bassett serves, we owe it to
our patients, our staff and the
communities we serve to be as
prepared as possible. That’s
the work we’re engaged in
right now.”
Both Hyman and McKenna
note that there is heightened
awareness of the Ebola virus
because of the cases identified in the U.S. Those cases,
however, resulted from health
care workers returning home
who had direct contact with
victims of the outbreak in
West Africa. Hyman cautions
people against letting Ebola
overshadow other health risks
prevalent in the state right
now, including the flu which
leads to 30,000 deaths in this
country annually. Anyone who
hasn’t been vaccinated against
influenza is encouraged to do
so, and individuals sick with
flu should stay home from
work or school to prevent
spreading flu to others.

It’s Not Too Late To Vaccinate –
Get Your Flu Vaccine Today
After November when you
see signs that advertise: “Get
Your Flu Vaccine Here,” you
might think, “Isn’t it too late
for that?” As long as flu viruses are spreading, it’s not too
late to get a vaccine to protect
yourself and your loved ones.
For millions of people every season, the flu can mean
a fever, cough, sore throat,
runny or stuffy nose, muscle
aches, fatigue, and miserable
days spent in bed. More than
200,000 people are hospitalized in the United States from
flu complications each year.
Some of those people will die
from complications caused by
the flu.
Some people are at high
risk for serious flu-related
complications, like pneumonia, that can lead to hospitalization and even death.
This includes young children,
pregnant women, people 65
and older and people with
certain medical conditions,
like asthma, diabetes or heart
disease. For those at high risk
for complications, getting the
flu vaccine is especially important. It’s also important to
get the vaccine if you care for
anyone at high risk, including
babies younger than 6 months
because they are too young to
get the vaccine.
Annual flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6
months and older. Flu vaccine
is available as a shot and as a
nasal spray. Talk to your doctor or other health care profes-
sional about which vaccine is
best for you and your family.
Flu vaccines are offered
in many locations, including
doctor’s offices, clinics, health
departments, pharmacies and
college health centers. Most
health insurance plans cover
the cost of recommended vac-
cines. Check with your insurance provider for details of
coverage. Delaware County
Public Health offers immunization clinic the third Tuesday
of every month. For children
who have no health insurance,
vaccination is free. Call 8325200 for more information.

BACK-TO-BACK NATIONAL CHAMPIONS…University of Connecticut won
its second straight field hockey national championship with a 1-0 victory over
Syracuse University.
MCKENZIE
TOWNSEND
celebrates her goal in Sunday’s
national championship game.
Harpursville’s Townsend Scores Game-Winner;
UConn Field Hockey Repeats As National Champions
By Pete Mansheffer
COLLEGE PARK, MD
– McKenzie Townsend is
getting pretty good at scoring
national championship goals.
The Harpursville graduate
and University of Connecticut
junior midfielder scored the
only goal of the game and the
Huskies won its second straight
NCAA Division I field hockey
national championship with
a 1-0 victory over Syracuse
Sunday at the University of
Maryland.
Townsend, who scored a
goal in last year’s 2-0 title
victory over Duke University,
potted UConn’s only goal of
the Sunday’s contest when she
tipped in a drive off a penalty
corner with 9:27 left in the
first half.
Anna Middendorf drove the
ball on goal and Townsend, in
the right spot, tipped the ball
over Syracuse goalie Jess
Jecko for the 1-0 lead.
“You have the person who
gets the corner. The push-out
has to be perfect, the stop has
to be perfect, and the strike in
has to be into the right spot,”
Townsend said. “I’m just the
lucky one who gets to have
the last touch on it.”
“This is what we play
for our whole lives,” added
Townsend, who scored her
fourth goal of the season.
“It’s a dream to even come to
a Division I school, and then
your dreams get bigger and
you want to win the national
title. You’re here one time and
it’s, ‘Oh, my God! It can’t get
any better than this.’ Then you
get here again.
UConn (20-2) reached the
championship game with a 1-0 corners, however, the Orange
victory over the University of had the last one with 20

HANNAH WOOD takes the field with the Herons.
Sat., Feb. 7 Is Date Set For
Chenango Lake Perch Derby
OXFORD - The Oxford
Lions Club is pleased to announce that the 16th Annual
Chenango Lake Perch Derby
date is set for Saturday, Feb.
7 with a postponement date of
Feb. 21. Last year the Derby
attracted over 800 registrants
and spectators to Chenango
Lake in the town of New
Berlin.
The Perch Derby will again
feature a number of prizes for
successful anglers including
the largest perch and pickerel
caught during the day. Prizes
will be offered for the largest
perch caught during each 15
minutes of the Derby all day
long!
But perhaps best of all is
the $1,000 cash prize for the
lucky angler who catches the
first specially tagged perch at
the Derby. In the event that
no one catches that specially
tagged perch on Derby Day,
the prize will be raffled off to
those who have registered. If
the Derby is canceled due to
insufficient ice, the prize will
be raffled off to those persons
who have pre-registered.
The Oxford Lions Club is
also in the process of selling
raffle tickets that will be drawn
on Derby Day. The raffle will
include a number of prizes, all
of at least $100 in value. “We
have again been fortunate to
receive the support of area
businesses in donating prizes
for the Perch Derby,” said
Chairman Jared Bartle, “and
we encourage everyone to
plan on visiting us on the ice
in February.”
Proceeds from the Chenango Lake Perch Derby are used
to maintain the many community and area projects that the
Oxford Lion’s Club supports,
such as eye examinations and
eyeglasses for those in need.
Registration forms are
available at Mayhood’s Sporting Goods in Norwich and at
www.oxfordlions.org. More
information will be available
in the coming weeks.

The Dunnemans to Sing Dec. 7
At Sidney First Baptist Church
SIDNEY - A Christmas
concert of gospel music will
be presented by The Dunnemans at the 6 p.m. service
of the First Baptist Church, 28
River St., Sidney on Sunday,
Dec. 7.
Reg and Gretchen Dunneman of Binghamton sing
their own special blend of
gospel music. Their full time
ministry presents over 350
concerts a year from churches
to campgrounds and anywhere
from Ontario to Florida.
Reg is a native of Stratford,
Ontario. He grew up in a musical family and played piano
at an early age. He organized
the Victor Trio and then the
Tabernacle Trio which sang
in Oneonta. For 20 years he
sang with Canada’s Galileans,
a southern gospel quartet that
toured the United States and
Canada.
Gretchen has been a member of the Friendship Trio,
singing in churches and at
Bible conferences. She also
sang with the Broome County
Savoyards and in the choruses
of the BC Pops, the Binghamton Symphony Orchestra and
the Tri-Cities Orchestra.
Refreshments will be served
following the concert. A free
will offering will be taken.
Bainbridge Churches to Hold
Thanksgiving Eve Service
BAINBRIDGE - The Bainbridge Council of Churches
invites all in the area to our
annual Thanksgiving Eve Service to be held at the Methodist Church. The worship
service, being lead by Pastor
Gary Kubitz, begins at 7 p.m.
and features an Ecumenical
choir under the direction of
Rick Bunting.
If you would like to join the
choir, no experience necessary, please arrive for practice
at 5 p.m. or as soon as you can.
There will be about an hour of
rehearsal followed by a light
supper furnished by the Methodist Church and a short time
to relax prior to the service.
This service has become an
annual event in Bainbridge
and is a wonderful way to
begin the holiday season.
We hope to see many of our
friends and neighbors for this
time of worship, fellowship
and giving thanks.
Stories of Jesus Continue
At East Guilford Church
EAST GUILFORD - Do
you like stories? Are you curious about God? Tell Me The
Stories of Jesus will continue
meeting at 5:30 p.m. at East
Guilford Church (corner of
State Route 8 and Chenango
Hwy 35 – little white church
by the flashing light). Twice
monthly, we’ll meet for dinner (provided), praise music,
live music, crafts and stories
– the stories of God and God’s
people.
Our December meetings
will be held on Wednesday,
Dec. 3 and Dec. 17. Dinner
will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the
church fellowship hall. Everyone is welcome to this nondenominational event.
Bring yourselves, your
kids and your Bibles. Bibles
will be provided if you don’t
have one. Join us for fun and
fellowship. We are currently
studying “The Parables of
Jesus.”
Cultural Grants Up to
$5,000 Are Available
NORWICH - The Chenango Arts Council (CAC) is
pleased to announce $99,400
in funding for cultural initiatives in Broome, Chenango
and Otsego counties. Funding
is available for grants up to
$5,000 through the 2015 Decentralization (DEC) Program.
DEC offers support for Community Arts (CA) grants and
Arts Education (AE) grants.
In addition to this funding,
$10,000 for the 2015 Broome
DEC Program has been provided by the Stewart W. and
Willma C. Hoyt Foundation
of Binghamton. These funds
are available to Broome DEC
applicants who were not able
to be fully funded through
the regular DEC process, and
who are not currently receiving Hoyt funds.
CA grants provide support
for arts and cultural projects
to community-based organizations, groups, collectives or
artists. Individual artists may
apply for a community-based
project in partnership with a
local non-profit organization.
CA support enables emerging artists and organizations
to grow professionally and
to enhance the cultural vibrancy in communities and
neighborhoods where they
live and operate. CA grants
provide support to develop,
foster, promote, enhance and
increase community arts that
address current cultural needs
in Broome, Chenango and
Otsego counties.
AE grants support the role
that local cultural organizations and/or individual artists
play in engaging K-12 public
school students in rich artistic learning experiences. AE
funds are designed to support
new or first time arts education projects in K-12 school
settings. Re-grant funds are
directed to cultural organizations and/or artists to work
in partnership with public
schools to utilize each other’s
resources. Projects must focus
on the exploration of art and
the artistic process. Projects
must take place in school and
center on the development and
implementation of sequential,
skills-based study that incorporates one or more art forms
and includes a minimum of
three hands-on learning sessions with a core group of
students. Schools and teachers
may not apply directly for AE
funds.
The deadline for 2015 grant
application is Wednesday, Jan.
7, 2015, at 5 p.m. Opportunities are for projects through
Dec. 31, 2015. Visit www.
chenangoarts.org for current
guidelines and application
form, or send us an e-mail at
[email protected] to request a copy. Notification of
intent to apply is required.

Grants, Financing
to Help Lower
Your Utility Bills
BINGHAMTON - Frigid
winter weather is fast approaching. Prevent high heating bills from coming back
this winter. A program from
the New York State Energy
Research and Development
Authority (NYSERDA) can
help people make their homes
more energy efficient while
saving money on their utility
bills.
This program offers free energy assessments for homes by
accredited contractors. After
the assessment, the program
helps homeowners through
the process of financing their
home improvements with
grants (this is free money - up
to $5,000 for a single-family
dwelling and up to $10,000
for a 2-4 family building that
eligible homeowners do not
have to pay back), or low-interest loans. Small businesses
and not-for-profits can qualify
for incentives worth up to
$60,000 and financing at about
half the market rate for up to
$100,000. This opportunity is
just one way that New York is
making it easier for businesses
and organizations to go green
and become energy efficient.
This program is available
to eligible residents in all
eight counties of the Southern Tier: Broome, Chemung,
Chenango, Otsego, Schuyler,
Steuben, Tioga and Tompkins.
For more information or to
sign up for a free energy assessment, call the program
director, Euphemia Martin, at
723-0110 from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday through Friday.
You can also e-mail Martin

See Polar Express Movie, Run the Lionel
Train at the Sidney Library on Sat., Dec. 6
SIDNEY – A free children
and parents holiday program
will take place Saturday,
Dec. 6 at the Sidney Memorial Public Library. Children
and qualified adults (must be
child hearted) will see The
Polar Express movie and will
take turns running The Polar
Express Lionel electric train.
Start time is 12:30 p.m. in the
library’s Smart Community
Room.
The Polar Express movie
released in 2004, starring Tom
Hanks and directed by Robert Zemeckis, has become a
beloved Christmas classic.
Filmed in dazzling performance-capture animation, The
Polar Express makes every
moment magical. It’s Christmas Eve and you’re about to
roller-coaster up and down
mountains, slip-slide over ice
fields, teeter across mile-high
bridges and be served hot
chocolate by singing waiters
more astonishing than any
you can imagine. Get on “The
Polar Express” for the ride of
your life. You will see wonders. And you will believe!
Before the movie, enjoy
seeing and running a Lionel
Polar Express electric train
run, with its locomotive puffing smoke and its whistle
blowing. A genuine Lionel
brand O Gauge The Polar Express electric train will be set
up and running on tracks right
on the floor, perfect for kids to
see and enjoy, across the front
of the community room.
Each child will have an opportunity to be the engineer
by pressing buttons on the
hand-held LionChief wireless
remote controller to blow the
train’s whistle, ring the bell,
activate. “All Aboard!” and
“Tickets Please” announcements from the movie (in the
voice of Tom Hanks), and
start, run and stop The Polar
Express train. As mentioned
above, only qualified adults
(must be child hearted) will
also be given a turn with the
remote controller.
Lionel’s powerful die-cast
metal Polar Express locomotive features realistic steam
engine chuffing and shut
down sounds, and smoke
puffing from the stack. A special “hot chocolate” scented
smoke fluid will be used, in
keeping with The Polar Express story The track layout
will feature a reverse loop and
automatic switch on each end.
The train’s steam locomotive,
coal tender and three passenger cars (featuring interior illumination and silhouettes in
windows), will pass through
a tunnel and and cross over a
girder bridge. Made every year
since 2004, The Polar Express
is Lionel’s best selling train
set in its 114 year history.
The movie and the Lionel
train, are based on the award
winning children’s book of
the same name, written and
illustrated by Chris Van Alls-
burg in 1985. The book is
now widely considered to be
a classic Christmas story for
young children. It has been
praised for its detailed illustrations and creative story
line. In 1986, it was awarded
the Caldecott Medal for children’s literature. Based on a
2007 online poll, the National
Education Association named
the book one of its “Teachers’
Top 100 Books for Children.”
It was one of the “Top 100
Picture Books” of all time in
a 2012 poll by School Library
Journal.
An information sheet will
be available to attending parents who may be interested in
purchasing The Polar Express
book, movie or Lionel electric
train.
At the premier of The Polar Express movie, author Van
Allsburg stated that the Pere
Marquette #1225 locomotive,
formerly owned by Michigan State University and now
owned by the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso,
Mich., was the inspiration for
the story line. He played on the
engine as a child when it was
on display and was inspired
by the number 1225, which to
him was Dec. 25, Christmas
Day. The real 1225 was used
to create the animated image of the engine and all the
locomotive sounds were recorded from the actual #1225
locomotive.

Bassett, Excellus Develop
Medical Advantage Plan
COOPERSTOWN - In an
effort to assure affordable access to quality health care
services, seniors in Otsego
and Delaware counties now
have the option of choosing a
new Medicare Advantage plan
backed by Bassett Healthcare
Network. Medicare Bassett
PPO is a local Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
health insurance plan for
seniors and other Medicare
beneficiaries.
In a PPO plan, enrollees
have the freedom to choose
which doctors, specialists and
hospitals they visit. By choosing in-network providers, enrollees can lower their costs.
In Otsego and Delaware counties, Bassett Healthcare Network providers are in-network
for the Medicare Bassett PPO.
Medicare Bassett PPO is administered by Excellus Health
If you can’t make it
Thanksgiving weekend, come
out Dec. 5, 6 or 7 for The Tapestry Players free production
of A Christmas Carol and find
some Christmas gift treasures
before or during the show.
You’ll be surprised and delighted with the variety of creative and functional gifts you
see as well as the fact that you
are supporting local artists.
Contact us at www.jerichoarts.com.
Plan, Inc. The goal of the plan
is to work with Medicare to
provide enrollees with significant coverage beyond Part A
and Part B benefits.
When an individual signs
up for Medicare Bassett PPO,
they still retain the traditional fee-for-service program,
known as Original Medicare,
through the federal government. However, enrollees gain
additional Medicare Part A
(hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) coverage from Excellus
rather than Original Medicare.
The plan includes additional
Medicare prescription drug
(Part-D) coverage. No referrals are required. Medicare’s
open enrollment period ends
Dec. 7.
Medicare Bassett PPO has
earned a four star rating from
the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS),
with one star representing the
lowest quality and five the
highest among private health
insurance options. Learn more
