Bill Ray
SIDNEY - The community
is invited to the 23rd Annual
Sidney Arbor Day celebration this Friday, April 24 at 10
a.m. at the Bill Ray Field. The
field is located in back of the
Sidney Moose Lodge off East

A highlight of the program

Bill Ray. Bill was an active
volunteer in the community
for many years. He served on
the Sidney Recreation Commission beginning in 1978 and
acted as chairman for nearly
30 years.
Bill was a positive influence on several generations of
young people as he coached
the Sidney Moose Lodge 277
Little League teams for more
than 40 years.
Shade Tree Committee
Chair Jim Suriano and Sidney
Village Mayor Andy Matviak
encourage the community to
join in recognizing Sidney’s
23rd Arbor Day celebration and honoring Bill Ray’s
memory.
In addition, Mayor Matviak
has signed a proclamation declaring April 24, 2015 as Arbor
Day in the Village of Sidney.
Village of Sidney, New York
Proclamation
Arbor Day
April 24, 2015
Whereas, In 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the
Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be
set aside for the planting of trees, and
Whereas, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed
with the planting of more than a million trees in
Nebraska, and Arbor Day is now observed throughout
the nation and the world, and
Whereas, trees reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by
wind and water, cut heating and cooling costs,
moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce
oxygen and provide habitat for wildlife, and
Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood
for our homes, fuel for our fires and countless other
wood products, and
Whereas, trees in our city increase property values, enhance
the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify
our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy
and spiritual renewal, and
Whereas, the Village of Sidney has been recognized as a Tree
City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation and
desires to continue its tree-planting practices.
Now,Therefore, I, Andrew C. Matviak, Mayor of the Village
of Sidney, do herby proclaim April 24, 2015 as Arbor
Day in the Village of Sidney, and urge all citizens to
celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect
our trees and woodlands, and
Further, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart
and promote the well-being of this and future
generations.

BUSINESS OF THE YEAR is MR
Construction of Nineveh, represented
by owner Mario Ruttkiewicz and his wife
Donna.
CITIZEN OF THE YEAR is Gloria
Harvey.
Greater Afton Area Chamber of Commerce
Recognizes Gloria Harvey, MR Construction
AFTON - The Greater Afton
Area Chamber of Commerce
held it’s 2nd Annual Dinner
Meeting on Sunday, April
19 at the Afton Golf Club.
The meeting was attended by
many who came to help honor
the recipients of the 2014 Citizen of the Year and Business
of the Year Awards. The honorees for this year were Gloria
Harvey from Afton and MR
Construction of Nineveh.
Assemblyman
Clifford
Crouch was the guest speaker
and presented a certificate of
recognition from NY State to
both award winners. Plaques
were awarded by the chamber to both Gloria Harvey and
Mario Ruttkiewicz, owner of
MR Construction.
Gloria Baciuska Harvey
is the definition of the word
“Citizen.” She has grown up
in Afton and through the years
contributed on many levels to
the beauty, community-building spirit and friendly atmosphere in which to raise a family that Afton represents. From
early on, she was active in her
community by serving on the
Inner-Church Council and the
Afton Emergency Planning
Committee. As a nine-year
member of the Afton Christmas Parade committee and
eight-year chairperson for the
Memorial Day Parade, Gloria’s energy has helped these
events grow in stature and
bring the Afton community together socially.
With the help of her husband, Curtis Harvey, the steep
incline near the Afton railroad
bridge, a challenge in mowing
ability, was maintained impeccably and has beautified one
of the entrances into the village. Gloria and Curtis also
are caretakers of Foster Park
and serve as volunteers for the
Afton Food Pantry. They also
have the distinction of being
blood donors at every blood
drive since the 1970s.
Gloria has been a village
trustee and member of the village board for many years, and
now serves as deputy mayor of
Afton Village. She has worked
as assistant to the director of
the Afton Adult and Continuing Education Program at
Afton School for more than a
decade, and is considered “indispensable” by everyone with
whom she works. “Can’t” isn’t
in her vocabulary, because
if it can be done, Gloria will
find a way to do it. She is a
woman of integrity and fierce
determination.
Gloria Harvey does more
than pay lip service to the role
of citizen. She embodies what
the ideal citizen should look
like. The Greater Afton Area
Chamber of Commerce wishes to thank her for her years of
service and is proud to honor
her as their 2014 Citizen of the
Year.
MR Construction is a
small, independently owned
construction company founded in 2002 by Mario Ruttkiewicz, Sr. For 11 years, MR
Construction has been providing the area with quality European craftsmanship offering
all phases of construction including remodeling, carpen-
try, electrical, masonry, roofing, plumbing and more.
In 1992, Mario, a native
of Bad Kreuznach, Germany,
fulfilled a life-long dream of
coming to America. Here he
worked for a few local construction companies before
taking a position as a construction foreman in Rochester for a major construction
firm. That position required
him to travel extensively, so
he decided to take his experience and expertise and start
his own business here in Nineveh, where he now makes
his home with wife, Donna,
and two children, Mario Jr.
and Tonie.
The Afton area has been the

Tri-Town Theatre to Stage Comedy
Mother’s Day Weekend May 8, 9, 10
run-in with the law, make selfrighteous Aunt LaMerle (Pam
Wheaton) think the reunion
should be canceled.
Peaches (Monica Cole) and
Jimmie Wyvette (Ellen Gay)
tell Aunt LaMerle that the reunion is on and that Gaynelle is
going to host the reunion at her
house. They figure if they can
pull this reunion off it will show
the skeptical court-appointed
psychologist that Gaynelle is
sane.
Another reason to hold a family reunion is to celebrate Uncle
Aubrey Verdeen’s (Jack Doyle)
90th birthday. He loves Red
Velvet Cake and Gaynelle bets
Aunt LaMerle she can make a
better cake than her cake. If she
does, Aunt LaMerle will get
Gaynelle’s house. Things spin
out of control heading for an
uproarious climax.
Show dates are Friday, May 8
and Saturday, May 9 at 7 p.m.,
and Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m.
in the newly renovated Sidney
High School auditorium. Tickets are available in advance
until May 7 at Rainbow’s End

The floats that now represent

the float and floating it down

FROM
N.Y. STATE SENATOR
JAMES L. SEWARD
Senate Launches Workforce Development Task Force
As the economic landscape
shifts and new industries like
nano-technology and other innovative businesses continue
to emerge, it is important that
we have a well-trained workforce at the ready. That’s
why I am extremely pleased
to be serving as a member
of the recently created Senate Task Force on Workforce
Development.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there
are 5 million job openings
available nationwide as of January 2015. Despite a decrease
in the unemployment rate,
many of these jobs are likely
to continue to go unfilled due
to an ongoing skills gap.
Research released in February from Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute found that
while the country faces a need
for nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs over the next
decade, 2 million of those jobs
are likely to go unfilled due to
baby boomer retirement and
too few young people who see
manufacturing as a career.
An example of this problem, according to an article
in the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle, 23,000 jobs in
Monroe County in 2013 were
unfilled, and some persistently due to a lack of “middle skilled” employees in the
region who are qualified for
health care, tech, manufacturing and other skilled labor,
like welding and mechanics.
This is exactly the type of
situation the task force will investigate. We will review the
state’s existing programs designed to train both job seekers and existing employees
for current and prospective
employment opportunities, as
well as help develop new initiatives to improve employee
readiness, meet the needs of
private sector employers, and
create well-paying jobs to
grow New York’s economy.
In order to fully explore the
issue, we will seek input from
a number of important stakeholders. Leaders in business,
education, state and local
governments, and other workforce experts are being called
upon to help develop a better
process to connect people who
are getting trained with the
open jobs that are available.
As part of our mission the
task force will: examine the
barriers and the incentives for
institutions and businesses to
assist students and existing
employees in the acquisition
of new skills; review state
education policies to maximize opportunities for high
school and college students
to obtain industry certifications and take career-themed
courses for jobs that are most
in demand; discuss how to
improve the sharing of information about regional and
statewide workforce trends to
ensure job training programs
are targeting the skills needed
by employers; explore the job
training resources available to
unemployed and under-employed New Yorkers to help
them achieve self-sufficiency;
and identify potential opportunities for additional collaboration between education and
business communities.
Along with developing
new workforce development
programs, the task force will
also help bring to light the
many innovative programs
that already exist and strive to
duplicate their success around
the state.
For example, right in my
senate district we have the
Career Opportunities in Rural Education (CORE) Initiative, based at Milford Central
School. Several rural high
schools are involved with
CORE which is an innovative model program designed
to provide rural students with
additional academic opportunities to help them compete
with their metropolitan counterparts. Between CORE’s
shadowing program and Business Partnership Network,
students are becoming more
aware of local job opportunities and more prepared to
make decisions about college
and career.
CORE also works with
other job seekers who are out
of high school to assist them
with job retraining. The program’s relationship with local
businesses ensures that the
skills needed to fill job vacancies are being taught.
Certainly, this job training model can and should be
replicated in other parts of the
state.

25 YEARS AGO
April 25, 1990
Fire investigators continue
their probe into fires that destroyed five summer homes
and several storage buildings
in the Towns of Masonville
and Tompkins early Friday
morning. Area residents were
shocked to learn that two
older farmhouses, a newer log
cabin and two mobile homes,
all owned by out-of-town
residents, were torched. The
homes were destroyed before
firefighters were even alerted
to the fires.
Town of Sidney Supervisor
Walt Johnson twice previously
voted against a county sales
tax in Delaware County but
this time around he is looking at a county sales tax as a
very possible option for helping Delaware County meet its
increasing financial burdens.
Town of Masonville Supervisor Jack Thomas remains
steadfast in his opposition to
the sales tax.
An unexpected payment
of $29,475 from Keith Clark,
Inc. to the Village of Sidney
for 1990 will be used by the
village to help fund a needed
project at the wastewater treatment plant.
Now open for business, the

result of an election held last
Monday evening, it was announced that the Bainbridge
District No. 3 School, will
close its doors for one year,
sending its pupils to the Bainbridge Central School. By inserting the “one year” clause,
Bennettsville voters evidenced
a desire to consider the year as
a “trial term.” During this year
the building will be used for
the Pilgrim Holiness Church.

Open Burning
Is Prohibited
ALBANY - With a number of brush fires occurring

Department of Environmental
Conservation is reminding the
public that garbage burning is
never allowed, and that residential brush burning in towns
with fewer than 20,000 residents is prohibited from March
16 through May 15 each year
due to the dry conditions that
typically exist at that time.
Brush burning in towns with
more than 20,000 residents is

Thank you Jim and Carol
Barnhart and thank you Jeff
and Brenda Bagley. Although
I moved from Sidney over 37
years ago, the CH Landers
Home has always played a big
part of my families’ lives. Jim,
whom I’ve known for many
years, what a professional,
what a great person the Sidney
community has been blessed
with. I always felt how fortunate Sidney was to have such
kind, caring individuals.
I met Jeff a few years ago
and again felt that same connection with families dealing with a difficult situation
where many questions and
issues were raised. Sidney is
fortunate to have CH Landers
and now Jeff Bagley. We talk
about the downfall of a small
community, however, as long
as I can remember, CH Landers and the owners and managers have always been there
for those in need and during
their difficult times.
Thank you both and happy
retirement Jim and Carol!!

April Is
Sexual Assault
Awareness Month
DELHI - April is Sexual
Assault Awareness Month
(SAAM). Sexual violence is
a serious health problem that
affects millions of men and
women. The 2015 campaign
will focus on campus sexual
violence prevention.
The goal of SAAM is to
support campuses in creating
a culture of prevention and
effective,
trauma-informed
response. The topic of campus
sexual violence has received
national attention in the news
in recent months. From the
White House to news outlets
and universities, the reality of
the rates of sexual assault committed against college students
confirms a need for working
together in prevention and response. Advocates have been
working to address this issue
for decades and new legislation and guidelines are directing campuses to create a safe
and responsive environment.
The Delaware Opportunities Safe Against Violence
Program assists victims of sexual assault, domestic violence,
stalking, and other crimes and
provides a 24-hour hotline,
a confidential safe dwelling,
crisis intervention, information and referrals, medical and
legal advocacy and accompaniment, outreach education,
preventive education and additional services which can be
accessed by calling locally at

The quote of the week comes
from Gary Player: “The harder
you work the luckier you get.”
I guess many of us are hard
workers and that can be good
for the careers we choose in
life but remember always to
get in some relaxations while
you are working so hard to
get ahead in life. Don’t forget
about the good things in life
that there are with family and
friends and your communities
where you all live.

On the Farm
It is time to fix fences so
the dry cows can be let out
to pasture. This week several
dry cows were let out but they
still have to be fed food until the pastures are starting to
get ready. The rains are coming this week so that may be
faster than we can blink and
the weather is supposed to
get cool with no sun. It sure
was good to have at least a
few days of warm and sunny
weather everyone enjoys that.
We have had a few calves
born and are anticipating more
soon. They sure enjoy chasing
us around the barn when we
are trying to get the others fed,
but it is good they are healthy
and vigorous. The other day
I said the rains may be good
because April Showers bring
May flowers and someone
said and hay also, that’s right.

Tri-County Senior Center Offers
Many Opportunities for Senior Citizens
SIDNEY - The Tri-County
Senior Center, room 207 of the
Sidney Civic Center, recently
sponsored a workshop entitled
“EmPower New York” presented by Cornell Cooperative Extension. Twenty-two
seniors from the three-county
area attended the free seminar
and learned simple ways they
can significantly cut energy
costs in their homes.
Currently, the Tri-County
Senior Center offers citizens
age 55 and up the opportunities to play Mahjongg, Mondays at 1 p.m.; Pinochle, Tuesdays at 10 a.m.; Volleyball in
the Boys & Girls Club gym
from 9 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays; and Pitch at 10 a.m. on
Thursdays.
The Senior Center is open
Monday through Thursday,
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Seniors
from Delaware, Otsego and
Chenango Counties are invited to join in for any or all of
these activities, or just to drop
in to socialize and enjoy a cup
of coffee. New activities are
being added regularly, and the
room can also be reserved for
meetings when activities are
not scheduled.

NYSOH Announces Expansion
Of Private Health Insurance
ALBANY - NY State of
Health (NYSOH) the state’s official health plan Marketplace,
has announced a new program
that will give New York State
the flexibility to design private health insurance coverage
specifically for New Yorkers
with certain income levels.
This innovative Basic Health
Program (BHP) is one of only
two programs nationwide to
receive federal approval under
the Affordable Care Act.
“We are excited to be among
the first states in the nation to
implement this option and we
extend our thanks to the federal Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services for their
partnership,” said NYSOH
Executive Director Donna Frescatore. “Adding the Basic
Health Program to the suite
of health insurance options already available through New
York State of Health will make
coverage even more affordable
for hundreds of thousands of
New Yorkers.”
The BHP will offer qualified individuals and families a choice of plans from
high-quality, private health
insurers through NY State of
Heath (NYSOH), the state’s
official health plan Marketplace. New York State health
insurers were invited to offer
plans through the BHP when
the NYSOH plan invitation
was issued today to New York
State licensed health insurance
companies. The invitation includes requirements for insurer
certification and recertification
for Qualified Health Plans and
Stand-Alone Dental Plans, and
for the new Basic Health Program which will start on Jan.
1, 2016.
All plans under the BHP will
cover essential health benefits,
including inpatient and outpatient care, physician services,
diagnostic services and prescription drugs among others,
with no annual deductible and
low out-of-pocket costs. Preventive care, such as routine
office visits and recommended
screenings will be free. Consumers with income at or below 150 percent of the federal
poverty level ($17,655 for a
household of one; $36,375 for
a household of four) will have
no monthly premium. Those
with slightly higher incomes
at 200 percent of the federal
poverty level ($23,540 for a
household of one; $48,500
for a household of four) will
have a low monthly premium
of $20.
For many consumers who
have already enrolled in coverage through NYSOH, the BHP
will further reduce their monthly cost of having insurance and
their out-of-pocket costs when
they receive services.
New Yorkers will have the
ability to enroll in the BHP
during the 2015 NYSOH open
enrollment period which begins on Nov. 1. Enrollment
can be completed through the
NYSOH website, by telephone
or in-person with one of NYSOH’s trained assistors.
Additional
information
about the Basic Health Program, including details about
the insurers that will be available in each county, will be
available in fall.

PET OF THE WEEK
DELAWARE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY
SIDNEY 563-7780
Sasha Needs Surgery
This weeks Pet of the Week
is a different ad than we normally run. We have a young
lady new to our shelter that
requires surgery. Sasha is a
young adult female Lab mix.
She is a medium size, and at
first you would think she is a
pup, but apparently not.
This little girl has an old
injury to one of her back legs.
She was taken to one of our
vets, and the hip was out of
joint. The doctor put the hip
back in place but it wouldn’t
stay. The next step is a surgery and it will cost. The procedure will entail, removing
the top of Sasha’s femur and
then letting her heal, so the
muscles surrounding the femur can build, and the goal
will be for Sasha to walk, at
least almost normally again.
She may require rehabilitation
because, it appears that it has
been a while since Sasha has
used that leg, and there has
been some muscle deterioration, and combined with the
fact that it’s now most likely a
habit to hold her leg up while
walking, that may be the road
that needs to be taken.
If you would like to help
Sasha, you can donate at Delaware Valley Humane Society,
101 East Main St., Sidney;
phone, 563-7780; hours, Monday through Sunday, 11 a.m.
to 4 p.m., with no adoptions
completed after 3:30 p.m.

Tracy M. Richmond-Banks
GUILFORD - Tracy M.
Richmond-Banks, 52, went to
Heaven on April 9, 2015 after
a long and courageous battle
with breast cancer.
Tracy was born on July 7,
1962, to Simon and Gladys
Richmond, who predeceased
her. She grew up on her family’s dairy farms in South Kortright and Guilford. As a child,
Tracy was active in all things
farm-related, from 4-H clubs
to showing cows at county
fairs. She graduated from
Bainbridge-Guilford Central
School and SUNY Cobleskill,
and went on to enjoy a 30year career as a milk tester for
Dairy One. She also worked
for a time at Exeter Veterinary
clinic, and ran a very successful boarding kennel at her
home.
Tracy found her true love
and soul mate in Burton
Banks. They were married in a
beautiful and courageous wedding on April 3, 2015 at their
home in Richfield Springs. Although their time together was
too short, it was filled with
love and happiness beyond
measure. Burt was an unerring
support to Tracy, accompanying her to doctor appointments
and chemo treatments, taking
wonderful care of her, and loving her unconditionally.
Tracy is survived by her
five siblings, Virginia (Mike)
Gustafson, Calif., Beverly Richmond, Fla., Wayne
(Charlene) Richmond, N.C.,
Nathena (Pete) Kain, Norwich
and Phil Richmond, Guilford.
Family meant everything
to Tracy. She had a loving,
meaningful relationship with
each sibling as well as with
her nieces and nephews, Laura, Dan and Taylor Richmond,
Patrick, Emily and Lydia
Kain, Vanessa (Chad) Aharon,
Ryan (Nikki) Richmond, Carrie (Alex) Moyer, and Caitlyn
Richmond. She is also survived by six great-nieces and
nephews, whom she loved
and showered with attention
whenever she could. Tracy
also leaves her mother and
father-in-law, Bruce and Marilyn Banks, who grew to love
her in a very short time; her
sister-in-law, Debbie (Niel)
Miller; brother-in-law, Kevin
Banks and family; and stepsons, Lucas (Tamara) Banks
and Darren Banks.
Tracy’s passions were her
family, her many lifelong
friends, and her love of dogs.
She remained close with many
of her high school classmates
and looked forward to reuniting with them each summer.
Several college friends remained close over the years
as well. Her numerous kennel customers can attest to the
fact that the care she took with
their animals went above and
beyond that of the average
kennel. She had a personal relationship with each customer
and each dog. She especially
loved to care for her own
Golden Retriever pups when
they returned for a stay at the
kennel. Tracy was a passionate advocate for dogs in need
of a good home. Along with
some rescues that she took in
herself, countless dogs are in
much happier and safer homes
thanks to Tracy.
Tracy made Herkimer
County her home when she
began her career. Although
she may not have loved the
hours a milk tester must keep,
she formed lasting relationships with the farm families
she served. She had a deep respect for the business of dairy
farming, and a love of the land
around her. She never failed
to notice the natural beauty in
her surroundings. Tracy liked
to visit Maine and the Adirondack Mountains, as well as an
occasional trip to New York
City to see a Broadway show.
She enjoyed motorcycle riding
for many years.
Tracy was an active member of the Springfield Presbyterian Church, where she was
an elder. She loved her church
family and found many ways
to support her church.
Above all, Tracy will be
remembered for her kindness
and generosity. She made everyone feel important in her
presence. Her positive spirit
throughout her cancer ordeal was inspirational. She
rarely complained about her
own cancer, but was always
supportive of others dealing
with the disease. We thank
Dr. Bravin, Dr. Patel, and the
Cancer Center staff at Bassett
Hospital for their work and
kindness on Tracy’s behalf.
Memorial donations may be
made to the American Cancer
Society. For a more personal
remembrance, please consider
sending your ACS donation to
Herkimer County Relay for
Life, c/o Janet McCarty, 5503
US Hwy 20, E. Springfield,

Tracy’s calling hours and
funeral were handled by J.
Seaton McGrath Funeral
Home in Richfield Springs.
Her burial in North Guilford
Cemetery will take place at a
later date.

HOME IMPROVEMENT
April Is Safe Digging Month
Homeowners need to be prepared for new water heater
regulations.
Homeowners May Be in
Hot Water With New Water
Heater Regulations
(NewsUSA) - In less than two months, new water heater
efficiency standards will take effect and may end up hitting
homeowners with an unexpected (and costly) expense.
To grasp the coming regulations, as imposed by the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), homeowners need to understand the impetus behind it -- which is that, according to the
DOE, by replacing residential water heaters, pool heaters and
direct heating equipment, consumers will save up to $10 billion and prevent the release of up to 164 million metric tons of
carbon dioxide over 30 years.
“These energy-conserving appliance standards are a critical part of the Administration’s overall efforts to save energy
in homes and businesses nationwide,” said former DOE
Secretary Steven Chu. “By raising the energy efficiency requirements of our every-day appliances, we will save money
for American families and companies, reduce carbon pollution, and enhance our energy security for decades to come.”
While no one is arguing the benefits of going green, the
down side is the upfront cost to the consumer.
“Our customers could face price increases of up to 15 percent to 35 percent,” said Mary Kennedy Thompson, president of Mr. Rooter Plumbing. “Not only will the cost of water
heaters increase an average of $120, but installation and
maintenance costs will likely rise as well. As a result of new
regulations that require a more complicated installation and
increased amount of system parts necessary, homeowners
could face a hefty replacement fee in the short run.”
The added expense, says Thompson, comes in the form of
the larger size of the new water heater units. Electric hot water heaters larger than 55 gallons -- the minimum required for
most residential homes -- will require a minimum of 128 cu. ft.
with a duct to a larger space in order to comply with the new
standards. This means that homeowners will have the added
burden of not only replacing a water heater, but potentially
also undergoing a major renovation involving construction.
To combat a potentially high-priced situation, homeowners
should consider checking the age of their hot water heaters.
If they are getting close to the 10-year mark, they can be replaced before the new regulations take effect.

ALBANY —The New York State Public Service Commission
(Commission) announced that it is participating in the nationwide effort to recognize April 2015, as “Safe Digging Month”
as a way to remind excavators and contractors that state
law requires them to call one of the state’s toll-free One-Call
centers before starting any excavation or digging project.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo proclaimed April 2015 as “Safe
Digging Month” in New York.
“It is important to raise awareness of the state’s One-Call
Notification Systems and the critical role it plays in identifying the location of underground infrastructure facilities,” said
Commission Chair Audrey Zibelman. “Damage to utility facilities during excavation can result in loss of utility service,
personal injury and property damage. I urge all excavators to do their part in protecting our vital
infrastructure by simply dialing 811 before
digging.”
The keys to preventing damage to unCall 811
derground facilities are the two “One-Call
Before
Notification Systems” that serve as communication links between contractors/exDigging
cavators and the operators of underground
facilities (local utilities/municipalities). New
York 811 is the One Call Notification System
serving New York City and Long Island and Dig Safely New
York is the other, serving the remainder of the state. When
calling from inside the areas served, either can be reached
by simply dialing 811.
Along with participating in the nationwide Safe Digging
Month program and Dig Safely New York, the Commission’s
staff works diligently to enforce its gas safety regulations,
which are among the most stringent in the nation, to ensure
that utility companies adhered to them regarding the safe operation of the utility’s gas distribution system. To continue to
improve gas safety, the Commission routinely monitors the
utilities’ gas emergency plans to make sure that they are up
to date, to identify improvement areas, and to ensure that the
plans are incompliance with the Commission’s gas safety
requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
• When must notification be made? At least 2 to 10 working days prior to any mechanized work (does not include
the date of the call) notice must be provided to the One-Call
Notification System, which will transmit the project information to involved underground facility operators so that they
can mark the location of any facilities at the excavation site.
• How is notification made? Notification for excavation work
anywhere in the state can be made by dialing 811. Alternatively,
for excavation on Long Island and the five boroughs of New
York City, New York 811 can be called at 1-800-272-4480.
For excavation elsewhere in New York State, Dig Safely New
York can be called at 1-800-962-7962. Whether dialing the
1-800 number or 811, there is no charge for the call.
• What does excavation include? Excavation is defined in

state law as “…movement or removal of earth, rock or other
materials in or on the ground by use of mechanized equipment or by blasting, and includes, but is not limited to auguring; backfilling; drilling; grading; plowing in; pulling in;
trenching and tunneling. Tools manipulated only by human or
animal power and the tilling of soil for agricultural purposes
shall not be deemed excavation.”
• What is the excavator required to do if there are marked
underground facilities at the worksite? Before using powered
equipment near marked underground facilities, excavators
are required to verify the location, depth, and direction of run
of the facility by means of test holes dug by hand. A clearance
of at least four inches must be maintained between powered
equipment and the underground facility.
• Who must join the One-Call Systems? All
operators of underground facilities, including
municipal systems, are required to be members of the One-Call Notification System
serving their area(s) and to mark the location
of their facilities in or near excavation work
sites.
Excavators who damage underground facilities due to the failure to follow the regulations
are not only subject to civil penalties, but also
are liable for repair costs. However, state law exempts excavators from liability for repair costs if the damage is caused
by the utility’s or municipality’s failure to comply with the law,
such as failure to participate in the One-Call Notification
Systems or failure to accurately mark the location of their underground facilities.

Portable And Standby Generators:
Deciding Which Is Right For You
(NAPS) - When it comes to safe, reliable backup power in
the event of an outage, homeowners have several options to
consider. That’s important, because power outages are becoming more frequent due to severe weather, as well as an
aging electrical grid. Many of these power outages can last
for days - even weeks - at a time. This can lead to discomfort, spoiled food, lost productivity (especially if you work from
home), increased security risks and the chance of flooding
due to frozen pipes or a sump pump malfunction.
“Homeowners have two main options when it comes to
backup power: portable generators or standby generators,”
said Ed Del Grande, a master contractor, TV host and home
improvement author. “Both are built for different purposes, so
it’s important to analyze your individual needs prior to making
a purchase.”
Portable Generators
As the name would indicate, portable generators are mobile and can be moved into place wherever needed. These
generators - which are great for work sites, tailgates and
camping - can power several items, such as a plug-in appliance or lamp using properly rated extension cords. They run
on gasoline or diesel and are manually operated. Portable
generators must be operated outdoors away from a home
due to carbon monoxide issues.
Standby Generators
A standby generator monitors utility power and automatically takes on your home’s electrical load if power is lost, usually within 10 seconds. A standby unit is installed outside the
house, much like a central air conditioner, and runs on propane or natural gas, so there’s no refueling. It powers critical
appliances and systems such as lights, furnaces, air conditioners, refrigerators, sump pumps, home security systems,
office equipment and sensitive electronics, including TVs and
computers.

The Kitchen You Always Wanted
Companies such as Kohler offer larger standby units that
can power an entire home, as well as more compact-sized,
affordable standby generators that are good for smaller
homes, cabins or situations requiring less power. An 8-, 10- or
12-kilowatt standby generator will power a few key items during an outage, such as a refrigerator, lights and sump pump.
Some of the newer models can even start a 5-ton central air
conditioner while still powering other items.
“No matter the size, a standby generator provides great
peace of mind and can protect everyone in your home - especially those who are most vulnerable, like children and the
elderly,” Del Grande said.
If a standby generator is right for you, consider getting a
unit that offers:
• A commercial-grade engine that powers up quickly,
provides high-quality, consistent power and can handle
heavy loads
• At least a five-year warranty
• A bold, clean look and corrosion-resistant housing,
which is critically important if you live near salt water.

Planning Some Home Renovation?
Here Are Some Tips To Help You Save Time and Money - and Hopefully Avoid Mistakes on Your Next Flooring Project
(NAPS) - If you’ve repainted the walls, added new furniture
and changed your sofa pillows, yet something is still amiss in
your home, consider that large surface area: the floor. Floors
set the tone of your living space.
To avoid surprises and unexpected costs, try these tips
from the World Floor Covering Association.
Find The Right Flooring
When it comes to selecting the most appropriate flooring
for your home, consider how it will be used and how often.
A high-traffic room demands materials that can stand up to
wear and tear. High-quality flooring is essential. And buying
from a reputable retailer - one who knows their products, gets
to know their customers and will be there to stand behind
what they recommend and sell - is going to pay off down the
road.
Not all flooring is the same. In every category - carpet, tile,
resilient, laminate, hardwood - there are products of varying
quality. It is important to do your research and, just as important, to work with a retailer who has firsthand history with the
flooring products they sell and the manufacturers that make
them.
Maintenance is another key consideration. Some floors require more upkeep than others. For instance, some types of
hardwood can become dull if not swept or mopped daily. If
you have kids or pets, consider the following: multi-colored,
textured carpet to hide blemishes and wear; engineered
wood offering diamond-hard surface treatments to avoid
abrasions; or resilient vinyl, which can be made to look like
many other types of flooring and is very durable and easy to
clean. Ceramic tile is another good option for high traffic.
The area of the country in which you live has an impact
on the flooring you choose, too. How much sunlight does the
room get? Many flooring materials won’t fade, but some - including carpet - might. Humidity can affect durability. Some
floors are fine in humid environments but others - such as
wood - are not. Are you considering radiant heat under your
floors? Not all surface materials are compatible with this option. Working with a knowledgeable retailer will be very helpful when making final decisions.
Considering Overall Design
Think about how the room will be furnished. Would you
like to warm up the room with a carpet or cool it down with
ceramic? Do you want a patterned or brightly colored floor to
liven up neutral furniture or a quiet background to help statement pieces stand out? Cultivate your own design ideas, then
call on the knowledge and experience of a reliable flooring
retailer to see it through.
Your Path To Purchasing
Check out your flooring options in person. Online research
is important but talking with a professional who deals in flooring every day is essential. Plus, there’s no substitute for seeing and touching the flooring you wish to purchase.
There are a few more things to consider. The following list of
questions prepared by the World Floor Covering Association
can help you make an informed choice and avoid unexpected
costs and surprises:
• Does the retailer offer a complimentary inspection prior
to installation to determine what kind of substrate you

have and whether it is flat?
What does the retailer charge to remove and dispose
of old flooring? Removing flooring can increase costs
substantially, so you may want to find flooring that can
go over your existing flooring.
• Will your doors clear your new floors? If not, the doors
may need to be trimmed to accommodate the new
height, or you might want to choose alternative flooring
materials.
• Does the retailer charge to move furniture? Be sure to
mention heavy items that might not be found in every
home, such as a piano.
• If the new flooring is going into a bathroom, will the retailer remove the toilet as part of their installation?
• Does your new flooring need to be acclimated prior to
installation?
• Will the installers clean up after themselves?
Prepare For Installation
The retailer should provide a checklist on how to prepare
for installation. In addition, if your renovation project involves
painting or staining walls where new floors are going to be
put down, the wall treatment should be completed first. Clear
the room. Remove fragile and valuable items and appliances,
books and decorations. Artwork and photographs on the
walls should also be taken down.
Clear a path for the installation crew to carry bulky, heavy
items in and out. When they arrive, ask the installers to go
over their plans with you so you know exactly what to expect. Make sure patterned floors will be set down in the right
direction.
Post-installation
Thoroughly inspect the flooring. Immediately bring any
concerns to the store’s attention.
Most importantly, enjoy your new floors!

Heating & Air-Conditioning
Tips From The Pros
(NAPS) - Next to your home itself, a home comfort system
is one of the largest investments you will make. That’s why
the decision to purchase a heat pump, gas furnace or central
air conditioner is a significant one - a decision that requires
careful thought and research.
To help you make an intelligent decision about heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment, here are
10 common questions - and answers - from the experts at the
Coleman brand of Johnson Controls.
1. Is installing a central HVAC system really
necessary?
In new homes or remodels, a central home comfort system provides the highest level of overall comfort, indoor
air quality and humidity control.
2. Should I repair or replace my existing
system?
As a rule of thumb, replace your existing home comfort
system when repairs cost 30 percent of a new purchase
- or when utility bills have increased 50 percent as a result of older, less-efficient systems that use more, higher-priced electricity.
3. How much can I save with new
equipment?
Air-conditioning and heating equipment consume about
44 percent of a home’s energy bill. Today’s Energy Star™
qualified systems are as much as 60 percent more efficient than 10-year-old equipment.
4. How do I select the right heating/cooling
system?
Get solid advice from an expert. The right contractor can
perform a load calculation or an energy analysis to determine your operating costs. After getting to know your
needs, he or she can customize a system just for you.
5. How can I be sure I’m selecting the right
contractor?
Seek out a contractor who is associated with a recognized brand. If the contractor is backed by the product
and training resources of a major manufacturer, you will
feel confident that you’re getting the home comfort system that best meets your needs.
6. If I have an existing system, can any of
these components be reused?
Every system is different. After a thorough inspection of
your electrical system, ductwork and other components,
your contractor will provide a rundown of what you need
to replace and what you can keep.
Air-conditioning and heating equipment consume about 44
percent of a home’s energy bill.
7. What is the best thermostat to use with my
system?
Look for a programmable thermostat for accurate, reliable, energy-saving performance. For added savings
and convenience, the Coleman Echelon Residential
Communicating Control with Wi-Fi support works with
mobile devices to easily program your system, wherever
you are.
8. What does the air handler do for my
system?
An air handler circulates conditioned air throughout your
home. You can combine it with accessories to filter, humidify or dehumidify the air stream as needed.
9. What can I do to improve indoor air
quality?
Indoor air can be from five to 100 times more polluted
than outdoor air. Adding humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation systems, ultraviolet lights and air filter technologies can dramatically improve your indoor air quality.
10. How complicated is a new system
installation?
That depends on the house and the system. While air
conditioners and gas furnaces require different components, the common denominator is ductwork, which
must be properly sized and zoned for proper system
performance. Your contractor can evaluate your existing
setup and tell you how simple your installation will be.

(StatePoint) Whether you’re building a home from scratch
or contemplating an upgrade, when choosing siding, there’s a
lot more to consider beyond color. The type of material you use
can impact durability, beauty and even energy efficiency.
Since siding is a long-term investment, you’ll want to make
a decision from an informed place, especially with more options now available in the marketplace. With that in mind, here
are some things to consider about different siding materials:
Weather
Extreme weather events, including high winds and hot and
cold temperatures can damage or destroy siding. Look for
a product that is certified to withstand these conditions. No
matter where you live, this should be an important consideration, as weather patterns have become more unpredictable
across the country.
Rot
Fiber-based materials (such as fiber cement planks) absorb water, which over time can make siding more prone to
rot, decay and even disintegration. At the store, ask to see
siding options made of polymer-based materials, which are
impervious to moisture.
Environmental Impact

ficiency, choose insulated siding, which will prevent undue
loss of warm air in winter and cool air in summer. Where environmental impact is concerned, vinyl is a good bet, as it
complies with environmental standards known as LEED and
ICC 700 National Green Building standards.
Maintenance
A certain amount of upkeep will be required to keep your
siding looking great. However, vinyl siding requires only occasional soap and water, whereas fiber cement requires recaulking and repainting to maintain color and help prevent
moisture absorption.
First introduced in the 1960s, vinyl siding is the most popular home siding material today, due to its overall low cost,
easy installation, durability and minimal maintenance. New
products are particularly versatile, and easy to install and
maintain, such as Heartland Siding by ProVia. Their super
polymer vinyl siding comes in a number of styles, colors and
price points. Additionally, the energy efficiency of the company’s CedarMAX line can help you save money down the
line. Visit www.proviaproducts.com/vs for more information.

about your purchase for smarter, sounder investments.

Honorary Membership Mailing to Begin
You may soon be receiving
a mailing from me since the
New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute will begin
its annual Honorary Membership drive in Delaware County
within the next few days. Contributions to the Institute are
tax deductible.
The flagship program of
the Sheriffs’ Institute is the
Sheriffs’ Summer Camp for
economically challenged children. The Sheriffs’ Camp,
located on Keuka Lake is in
its 38th year of operation. It
hosts 840 children each summer. The camp program combines summer recreation with
activities designed to teach an
understanding of, and respect
for, our laws and the men and
women who enforce them. The
strong camper counselor ratio
allows for individual attention
with an emphasis on the development of self-esteem.
For more information about
the Sheriffs’ Summer Camp
and other Sheriffs’ Institute
Programs, visit their website,
www.sheriffsinstitute.org or
simply Google “Sheriffs’ Institute kids” and it will be your
first option.
A few times in the past,
telemarketers have tried to use
our positive public relations
efforts for what I consider
their illegal activities. We
never have and never will use
telemarketing to raise money.
Our letters of invitation clearly
state that. If you hear of some
telemarketing going on that is
trying to take advantage of our
good faith effort, please let me
know.
I am warmed by the joy this
program brings. I appreciate
the help our area schools give
us in publicizing this event
and signing up prospective
campers. I have been told that
all our allocated slots have
been filled this year and some
children have been placed on
a waiting list. Sometimes other counties don’t use their full
allotment and we are able to
use them to send our children
on the waiting list also.
Thank you for your participation. The camp experience has been a life-changing
experience for many and I
have seen campers evolve into
counselors.

Upcycle T-Shirts to Grocery Bags
During Rogers Center Family Fun
SHERBURNE
Join
Friends of Rogers at 10:30
a.m. on Satruday, May 2 to
repurpose clothing and reduce
plastic disposable bag use.
Bring your old t-shirts and
turn them into funky new reusable totes.
“Converting low-value materials, such as an old t-shirt,
into a high-value product,
such as a unique and reusable
grocery bag, is the text-book
definition of upcycling,” said
Sarah Freedman, Friends of
Rogers environmental educator. “Upcycling reduces landfill waste and decreases trash
leaving your home and cutting
back on the need to take out
trash is a win for everyone!”
Why are plastic bags so
harmful to the environment?
According to an article by
the Huffington Post (www.
tinyurl.com/HPbags), plastic
bags take anywhere from 15
to 1,000 years to decompose,
and yet “only one percent of
plastic bags are recycled in the
United States. The rest end up
in landfills, the ocean, or some
other place in the environment. There’s actually a giant
garbage heap made mostly of
plastic floating in the ocean
that’s twice the size of the
United States.”
Family Fun Programs are
held at 10:30 a.m. on the first
and third Saturday of every
month and last approximately
one hour. While there is no
charge, Friends of Rogers encourages contributions to support future operations. Family
Fun Programs are an opportunity for visitors of all ages to
experience hands-on learning
and exploration of the natural
environment.
Rogers Center is operated
by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc.,
a nonprofit organization that
offers educational programs
for all ages. Seasonal hours
are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Wednesday through Saturday,
and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on
Sunday. For more information, call 674-4733 or visit

BAINRBIDGE - SlaterSilvernail Post 806, American
Legion, Bainbridge, made their
annual donation to the Bainbridge Soup Kitchen located
in the basement of the United
Methodist Church, Bainbridge
on April 18. The presentation
was made by Richard J. Rusakiewicz, finance officer, Post
806 to Colby Gravelin and Steven Eisenberg, volunteer staff
members at the Bainbridge
Soup Kitchen and Pastor Gary
Kubitz of the Bainbridge United Methodist Church.
We would also like to recognize Charlie Lord, a member of American Legion Post
806 for 57 years, who volunteered his time to work in
the Bainbridge Soup Kitchen

Charlie passed away in 2012
but his memory and the good
works he accomplished live
on. This donation and other
services Slater-Silvernail Post

Community are only made
possible through the revenue
earned from the chicken barbecues, which Post 806 holds
four times a year in April,

BINGHAMTON — The
American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give
blood this May in honor of
World Red Cross and Red
Crescent Day on May 8 –
the birthday of International
Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement founder, Henry
Dunant.
World Red Cross and Red
Crescent Day recognizes the
local and global impact of the
Red Cross mission. For more
than 130 years, the American
Red Cross has been helping
people, including those in
need of blood transfusions, in
communities across the U.S. It
is the only blood services organization that also provides
disaster relief, services for active and veteran military personnel and their families, and
health and safety training.
Last year, about 3.1 million
volunteer blood donors rolled
up a sleeve to help the Red
Cross meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,600
hospitals nationwide. Donors
of all blood types – especially
those with types O negative, A
negative and B negative – are
needed to help ensure blood
is available for patients this
spring.
To make an appointment
to give blood, download the
Red Cross Blood Donor App,
visit redcrossblood.org or call
1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). Those who are unable to give blood can support
blood donations and invite
others to make a lifesaving
donation by creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp.

How To Keep Your
Wedding Simple
I am sure there are some of
our readers who are engaged
and planning a wedding, which
can be very costly. This week
a friend of mine from my old
neighborhood in the city just
got engaged to his girlfriend
of seven years. Now they are
planning on getting married so
this article is dedicated to my
friends Bobby and Charlene.
Here are some ideas to keep
your wedding simple.
Don’t wait a year to get
married after getting engaged,
as it will be easier to simplify the wedding. The shorter
time will force both of you to
streamline the wedding and
avoid an elaborate wedding.
If both of you decide to wait
more than a year take advantage of seasonal sales for decorations that you can use for
your wedding.
Schedule your wedding in
off-peak time. You might be
able to get discounts off the
cost of a wedding by planning it for November, January through March. The only
exception you would not get a
discount is if you decide to get
married on Valentine’s Day.
When you are planning
where you are having a reception check out less expensive
places such local restaurants,
a beach or even a family member’s back yard. If the place
you pick to have your reception is not equipped to cater a
wedding, calculate the cost for
bringing in tables, chairs and
also food that will need to the
catered. Have a daytime reception as it is cheaper to service
lunch or brunch than dinner.
Also having alcoholic beverages at a reception can be very
expensive. Consider just having one cocktail to toast the
new bride and groom.
Wedding dresses can be
very expensive. Check bridal
stores for their annual sales
where you can get a discount
on a wedding dress. Inquire
about sample wedding dresses. Another way to save money on a wedding dress is to
consider renting or borrowing
a dress.
Have a friend who is good
at baking make your wedding
cake and that could be that
person’s wedding gift to you.
Most people have a friend
that is very good at taking photographs. It would be cheaper
to pay that person than a pro-
Fred and Maggie Ford
Celebrate 65th Anniversary
AFTON - Fred and Maggie Ford celebrated their 65th
wedding anniversary on April
22. They were married in Walton in 1950. They have six
children, Linda (Bill), Fred
(Pat), Susan (Jerry), Ronnie
(Lindsay), Mike, and David
(Irina); 12 grandchildren with
one due next month; 12 greatgrandchildren and two special
grand-kitties.
Fred and Maggie have resided in Afton most of their
married lives.
fessional photographer.
If you are creative you can
make your own wedding invitations or ask a friend who
is creative to help you make
them. Make your own favors
such as making your favorite
cookies and put them in a special bag.
Hopefully these ideas will
help you save and plan your
wedding.
If you have any money saving tips or ideas please e-mail
me at [email protected].
Till next time have a great
week. Enjoy the warm weather that is coming our way.
