AFTON While you
wait for better park-walking
weather outside, Afton Community Theatre invites you
in for their rendition of Neil
Simon’s hit comedy, Barefoot
in the Park.
This comedy classic, playing in the Afton CS auditorium on April 10, 11 and 12,
was Neil Simon’s longest running hit and won Mike Nichols the 1964 Tony for Best
Director (Dramatic). Michael
Graziano joins veteran A.C.T.
director Rich Cuthbertson on
the directorial team as well as
in cast cameos.
Barefoot in the Park tells
the story of a newlywed couple moving into their plumbing plagued, needing paint
apartment after a six-day
honeymoon. Settling in with
a surprise visit from mom and
upstairs neighbor’s unusual
antics spells near disaster over
dinner before the evening
ends.
Real life married couple
Ken and Amanda Wilber
portray newlyweds Paul and
Corie Bratter, roles first created by Robert Redford and
Elizabeth Ashley. Jane Fonda
joined Redford in the Gene
Saks 1967 film version and
the 2006 Broadway revival
featured Patrick Wilson and
Amanda Peet with Scott Elliott directing. A 1981 madefor-TV adaptation starred
Richard Thomas and Bess
Armstrong as the couple with
Barbara Barrie as Mrs. Banks.
Deborah Brennesholtz plays
A.C.T.’s mother Banks, the
role Jill Clayburgh played in
2006. George Patterson brings
wacky neighbor, Victor Velasco, vividly to life, a role
previously played by Kurt
Kasznar, Tony Roberts and
Hans Conreid.
You may not be able to kick
off your shoes and walk barefoot outside, but A.C.T. invites
you to join them this weekend
for their version of Barefoot in
the Park.

issue for details.

UNADILLA - Mike Knowlton, a man who has been helping others in his community,
especially the youth, through
a variety of programs and efforts, has been selected by the
Unadilla Chamber of Commerce to receive their 2015
Good Neighbor Award. Mike
is always ready to lend a helping hand, and along with his
wife Deb and their family, has
shown a special concern for
the area’s youth.
The Teen Center, located in
the former Unadilla Baptist
Church, became a reality two
years ago, thanks to Mike’s
desire to respond positively to
the needs of the young people.
Serving youth ages 10 to 18;
the center is currently open
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on
Saturdays. Mike has a special
rapport with the young people
and enjoys playing carpet ball
with them. He jokes about rewarding them with lollypops
when they beat him in the
game.
The Teen Center offers a variety of games and has a pingpong table, pool table, arcade
basketball and the popular
gaga ball. The Teen Center
also has a projector to show
movies and a 16-station video
game room. Young musicians
can use the center’s drum set,
guitar and piano keyboard, or
bring their own. During the
summer months, they have a
large field in back where they
can play volleyball and soccer. There is also a kitchen
used for fundraisers including
spaghetti suppers and pancake
suppers. The Unadilla YFC
Club is open on Thursdays
and Mike travels to Walton
on Tuesdays for their YFC
club, where he also serves as
director.
In a more serious note, there
is also time for Bible study,
tutoring, special programs and
speakers. Upcoming events
being planned include a Talent
Show on April 18 and a 5K
Run/Walk for ages under 10
to 60 plus on Saturday, April
25 in Unadilla. For more information, call the Youth for
Christ office at 432-0594.
Mike’s first involvement
with YFC that led to his becoming a director of the Teen
Center began some ten years
ago when his daughter Sarah
was leading the YFC group
at the Unadilla Elementary
School and asked for his help.
For seven years he served as
a YFC volunteer and for the
past three has been a member
of the YFC ministry staff.
For the past 10 years Mike
has been on the support staff
for the YFC weeklong bike
trip. Some 100 youth take
part.
Mike’s earlier activities include serving as a Scout leader
for Unadilla Troop I when his
own boys were in the Scouting program.
Other activities on a community level include Mike’s
previous service in the Unadilla Fire Department and
Emergency Squad. During
the floods of 2006 and 2011
Mike and his family helped
clean out the muck and debris
from homes, assisting those in
the flooded Prattsville, Sidney
and Unadilla areas.
Mike and Deb have been
married for 36 years, with 20
years providing respite and
foster care. They have three
children, including Sarah who
is married to Jason Wanaselja,
and they have a daughter Lily.
Their son Matt works locally and son Chris is a recent
graduate of the Word of Life
Bible College and plans to return to the Unadilla area in the
summer.
They also have four adopted
children. Alan, who works on
the pipeline in North Dakota;

Eligh, who is attending the
Word of Life Bible College;
Nick, who is self-employed;
and Xavier, who is 10 years
old.
Mike and Deb, both 1975
graduates of the Unadilla
Central School, live in a large
farmhouse on Rt. 7 near the
Unatego Central School, that
can accommodate their extended family, which for about
10 years includes six young
adults who were YFC teens,
and they were mentoring recently through the non-denominational Joy-EL Church
Camp in Pennsylvania.
Mike’s mother and father, Lila and the late Gilbert
Knowlton, were devout Christians and attended the church
where the Teen Center is now
located. Much of Mike’s desire to help others was fostered by his parents.
“The reason I do what I do
is because of my faith in God
and out of appreciation for all
the blessings He gives me every day,” said Mike.
Besides being involved
with the YFC, for the past two
years Mike has been serving as
the Head Start cook Monday
through Friday. Previously
he was a bus driver for Head
Start. Many remember Mike
as a district sales manager for
the delivery of the Binghamton Press.
Mike has many visions for
the Teen Center including a
recording studio, after school
tutoring, Bible study room,
job program for teen, more
community involvement and
expanded hours.
The YFC is a para-ministry
nonprofit, which depends on
financial support from individuals and businesses.
Mike will be officially
presented with the 2015
Good Neighbor Award at the
Unadilla Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner to be
held Sunday, April 26 at the
Unadilla United Methodist
Church. There will be a social
time with appetizers at 4:30
p.m. and dinner will be served
at 5 p.m. Also to be honored
with the 2015 Business of the
Year Award will be Green’s
Long River Inn and Liquor
Store, Lois Green and Kate
Andrews.
Reservations for the dinner
are due by April 20. For reservations or more information,

Week of the Young
Child Is April 12-18
The Week of the Young
Child is April 12 to April 18.
Today we know more than
ever before about the importance of children’s earliest
years in shaping their learning and development. Yet,
never before have the needs of
young children and their families been more pressing.
The Week of the Young
Child is a time to celebrate our
youngest learners, to recognize that children’s opportunities are our responsibilities,
and to recommit ourselves to
ensuring that each and every
child experiences the type of
early environment – at home,
at child care, at school and in
the community - that will promote their early learning.
Young children and their
families depend on high quality education and care, which
help children get a great
start and bring lasting benefits to our communities and
businesses.

Three Generations of Artists to
Showcase Work In Bainbridge
BAINBRIDGE - The Jericho Arts Council will be
hosting in their gallery three
generations of artists. Joni, her
father and her son Ben will be
displaying their art on Saturday, April 11 in the Jericho
Arts Gallery on the second
floor of the Bainbridge Town
Hall, at 7 p.m.
Charles (Chick) Hafner was
a self-taught artist specializing in graphite and pencil
drawings of the human form
and vintage aircraft.
Joan (Joni) Eaton is a teacher of art at the Oxford Academy and Central High School.
Her feelings about art are,
“The visual art, films and literature that I surround myself
with, that I am inspired by that
absolutely fascinates me, and
the art that I create are about
truth and accuracy. ‘My Body
of Work’ consists of scenes
from nature without human
involvement. Perhaps my affinity for a subject reveals my
empathy with it. I respond with
my whole being to the realness, freshness and innocence
of the natural world we live
in. I love to be outdoors, with
nature in any season, and marvel daily at the gifts of beauty

around me. When I strive to
depict her beauty with paint
I get lost in the process with
great abandon and great pleasure sort of whistling while I
work. I feel light and free. I
identify with Rachel Carson
when she said, “Those who
contemplate the beauty of the
earth find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life
lasts.”
Her son Ben says,”My work
is a reflection of me, but to the
viewer they can mean whatever they see it for. I create to
enjoy the process, the outcome
or finished product will never
fully be complete in my eyes,
and can always be changed.
I enjoy the feeling of accomplishing a project I undertake.
Whether the viewer enjoys the
result or not is not important
to me. It is the feeling that the
piece evokes in the viewer.
Not the like or dislike.”
Join us on the very special
exhibit at The Jericho Arts
Gallery, 15 North Main St.,

Pipeline Profit
Is Not Ours
Are pipelines a step toward
economic renewal? Far from it.
Fracked-gas pipelines and the
infrastructure that accompanies them are ongoing threats
to our water, health, safety and
property values. Fossil fuels
have reached the point where
they can only be produced using methods that are extreme,
costly, toxic and dangerous to
everyone who lives or works
near them.
Williams Partners, the profit-driven corporation behind
the ironically named “Constitution” pipeline, is using
eminent domain to seize the
private property of more than
100 families in Delaware and
three other New York counties
in order to ship fracked gas
from Pennsylvania to foreign
markets.
Kinder Morgan will be the
next out-of-state corporation
to use eminent domain against
New Yorkers if the company’s
Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP)
is rubberstamped by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This would
stomp on landowners’ rights
yet a second time. The TGP
would parallel the “Constitution” pipeline, stealing even
more land away from private
citizens, and multiplying the
danger of living near these
high-pressure, potentially explosive lines.
Eminent domain, originally intended for projects
that would benefit the common good, has become a way
for greedy corporations to in-
crease their own profits. Exporting the gas that would run
through these pipelines will
not benefit working Americans. It will make gas more
expensive for us while the gas
company executives and their
shareholders watch their bank
accounts grow. These gas
companies prey on economically depressed areas where
they know citizens can’t afford attorneys and don’t have
the money to have their land
appraised to determine the true
value of what the gas company
is taking.
For anyone who loves and
values their home, property,
farm, woods, springs and
streams, think about this:
Nearly all of the 100-footwide, 100-mile-long pipeline
route in New York would cross
fragile, difficult, flood-prone
terrain, including: 36 miles of
forests, 277 rivers, ponds and
streams, 35 miles of steep and
side slopes, 45 miles of shallow bedrock, which will require blasting, over 10 miles
of wetlands and 555 acres of
prime farmland.
The permanent clear-cutting of hundreds of thousands
of trees will cause massive
amounts of soil erosion and
runoff, which will increase the
severity, damage, danger and
cost of future floods. Think
of what you, your friends and
family have lost in past floods.
The permanent destruction of
so many trees for these pipelines would increase the likelihood of a bad storm becoming
another devastating flood.
Consider the impacts that
one or more pipelines would
bring as well: restricted access
to your own land; additional
paths for trespass on your
property by ATVs, dirt bikes
and snowmobiles; noise and
structural damage from blasting, jack hammering and massive amounts of earth moving;
the inability to get a home-improvement loan once a highpressure fracked-gas pipeline
is on your property; the damage that six to nine months
of heavy-truck traffic will do
to our town roads (roads that
we taxpayers must pay to have
repaired); the risk of water
contamination to our town
water supply and our personal
wells; Williams’ extremely
poor
pipeline-construction
safety record; and the incredible number of environmental
violations committed by Williams during construction of a
Pennsylvania-based pipeline,

Commerce has selected two

was initiated, the Chamber is
recognizing two people in one

Rosario “Soddy” Mirabito.

lifelong resident and archaeologist, whose work with the
historic Indian Village at Unadilla prompted his 1976 election to “Fellow” status in the
New York State Archaeological Association, stresses that
the formation being referred
to as an Indian burial mound
in the Chambers proposed
mining property on Route
357 in the Town of Sidney, is
not manmade but is a totally
natural glacial deposit which
should be referred to as a
knoll. A public hearing relative to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement prepared

More than 5,000 people
thronged to the Recreation

Sidney’s third Home Show.
This represented 50 percent
more admissions than the previous show.
There were three main activities taking place in Sidney

Friday, Saturday and Sunday;
Tri-Town Theatre production
of “The Solid Gold Cadillac”
on Friday and Saturday; and
the dedication ceremonies of
the new Masonic Temple on
Saturday.
April 11, 1940 - The Federal Creosoting Corp. has
awarded the contract for concrete work for their new buildings to Frank Lewis & Son,
Bainbridge contractors, work
on which will start the first of
next week. The main building of the plant will be 150 ft.
resulting in massive water
contamination and fines that
they negotiated down to almost nothing.
Criss-crossing upstate New
York with fracked-gas pipelines will only profit big corporations and sold-out politicians who don’t care about us,
our safety, or our health. They
want to get the last dollar out
of an obsolete industry by using desperate and dangerous
methods. Our health, safety,
homes and property should
not be sacrificed for a frackedgas highway system that sends
gas to Canada and beyond.
If we truly want to be energy independent, let’s move
forward to clean, safe, renewable energy like solar, wind
and hydropower. Stop the dangerous pipelines. Stop the theft
of our property for corporate
greed. Think about what we
have to lose. The profit is not
ours. The damage left behind
is ours.

Tri-Town News — Thursday, April 9, 2015— 5
Home Grown Author Releases
Novel Inspired by Sidney
SIDNEY - Steve Armstrong,
a Sidney High Graduate (‘97),
recently released his debut
novel, Traditional Gravity and
Sidney plays a big part in it.
Although technically set in the
fictitious town
of
Oleout
Plains, many
of the locales
in the novel
will seem familiar to Sidney residents.
“Sidney is
an important
part of who I
am, and I’ll
always have a
special place
for it in my
heart,” said
Armstrong,
who has lived
in Westchester County since
he graduated from Binghamton
University in 2001. “When I
wanted to write my first novel,
Sidney was a really logical
choice for me to set the book.”
Some of the local spots that
serve as inspiration for scenes
in the novel are the bridge
crossing the Susquehanna into
Main Street, Pioneer Cemetery,
the Pleasant Street School, plus
Indian Orchard Falls and the
East Guilford Cemetery, which
are located a little outside of
Sidney. The town of Walton
also plays a role in the story,
inspiring the fictional village of
Hadenberg.
Why did Armstrong change
the name?
“Liability. Isn’t everything
about liability these days? I
wanted the freedom to paint a
new picture of some things that
can happen in these towns, and
just wanted to protect myself
a little more, just to be safe.
Lots of suing goes on in our
society.”
Where did the new names
come from?
“Sidney’s original name was
Sidney Plains, and the Ouleout
Creek and valley are also part
of the region, so I squashed
the two together, and slightly
amended the spelling of “Ouleout” to make it a little easier
to pronounce. As far as Walton
goes, the original land grant
given to William Walton (the
town’s namesake) was the
“Hardenburg Patent.” But I
misread it, and didn’t include
the ‘r’. Whoops.”
Traditional Gravity centers
on a young man named Evan
who is searching for a greater
sense of meaning in life. His
grandfather’s declining health
brings him home to Oleout
Plains. While there, Evan runs
into a girl he knew from high
school. The
two begin
a relationship that
seems like
it will complete Evan’s quest
to identify
his
purpose, but
only if each
of
them
can overcome their
respective
pasts.
“It’s
a
quick read, with a lot of dialogue. I do my best to make
characters that are true to life.
In the end, I hope the book
makes people think about their
lives in maybe some ways that
they normally don’t,” says
Armstrong, when asked about
the kind of experience readers
should expect.
Armstrong, who has worked
at the First Baptist Church of
Tarrytown for over 12 years
as an assistant pastor, couldn’t
help but include some religious
elements in the book. But he
pushes back against calling
Traditional Gravity a “Christian” book.
“I guess it depends on what
people mean by Christian.
Yes, there are some Christian
characters, and of course I’m
a Christian, too, but the main
character is not a Christian. In
the end, I don’t think the book
tells you what to believe. It’s
not a sermon it’s a story. Stories are just stories. They’re not
Christian or non-Christian. I
try to make fiction that mirrors
reality – it’s messy, fractured,
complicated and often open to
interpretation. Resolutions are
hard to come by.”
Armstrong plans to release
the follow-up to Traditional
Gravity, called Modern Friction, in June. The third installment in the five book series will
drop in late November. The final two books will arrive in the
first quarter of 2016. Traditional Gravity is available electronically through Amazon.com.

puts one in a mood to risk everything.” How much would

Easter Season
The day turned out to be
quite snowy and windy and
we are sick of the snow, but it
was all good when we have our
families to celebrate with. Hope
all had a good Easter and a good
meal and time visiting with family and friends. All who traveled
to be here with family, have a
safe trip home.

I hear that some schools have
another day to celebrate the
Easter season, they call Spring
Break. At least we had some
good days for the break and we
saw children riding their bikes
and having some fun in the sunshine. Now it is time to get back
to work and getting ready for

testing there is quarterly assessments for grades 7 through 12

On the Farm
Here on the farm we are
waiting for spring like everyone
else. The hoof trimming went
well and the cows seem to be
getting back to the milking process well. It is quite a challenge
to get this work done and takes
quite a lot of time, but the fellas
say it is worth it for the cow’s
comfort. The weather forecast
has rain all this week, we hope
it keeps a warm rain and we
don’t have lots of flooding in
our streams and rivers.
We had a heifer have her calf
down by the creek and she was
shoving her calf around quite a
bit so they went down and got
the calf with the tractor and
tried to get the mother with it.
The mom decided she did not
want to come and went across
the creek. The creek was too
high for them to cross so they
had to wait for her to come
back across and got her later in
the day. She seems to be quite
a challenge right now but they
say she will calm down soon,
they hope. The calf is a bull and
he is doing well.

Unadilla Group to Hear
How to Prepare Gardens
UNADILLA - The Village
Green in Unadilla welcomes
Amy VanAlstyne of Delaware
County Cooperative Extension to our regular monthly
meeting for April this Sunday,
April 12 from 2 to 4 p.m. at
the Unadilla United Methodist
Church.
Amy will be sharing gardening tips, resources and
handouts to help us prepare
for the coming season -how
growing our food resources
can help us sustain and even
reduce our carbon footprint,
as we celebrate Earth Day on
April 22. Attendees will be
invited to explore how growing and sharing food with our
families, community and culture educates and brings us
that much closer to God’s invitation to “till and keep” the
earth.
Each month’s meeting features a show and tell by group
members who sign up to share
how they are finding success
in lowering their impact locally. This month, we’ll also
be planning a special Earth
Day event that carries out this
year’s national theme, “It’s our
turn to lead.” One of the ways
Unadilla citizens can help
lead, addressing local food security through support of our
local food pantry and sharing
with our community through
a ‘Food is Free’ initiative, is
through participation in the
Village Garden Project that
is gearing up in the months
ahead.
The Village Green is a recently-organized group open
to everyone interested in coming together to learn, advocate,
act, eat and play with a focus
on environmental stewardship
and caring for our community
and our planet on an individual, community and global level while we proclaim a public
commitment to caring for
God’s creation. Will you join
with us to learn more about
how you can make a difference in lowering your carbon
footprint, and build awareness
in our community through local food choices, careful consumption, recycling, energy
efficiency, etc.? We hope to
see you at our meeting Sunday, April 12, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Free CPR Mini-Trainings
Will Be offered Sat., April 18
COOPERSTOWN - According to the American Heart
Association, 90 percent of
people who suffer out-ofhospital cardiac arrest die.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), especially when
performed immediately, can
double or triple a cardiac victim’s chance of survival. For
this reason, Bassett Healthcare
Network and the American
Heart Association (AHA) are
partnering to help people learn
basic hands-only infant and
child CPR skills. Free CPR
mini-trainings will be offered
to the public at the Building
Healthy Families Third Annual Community Baby Shower.

The CPR mini-trainings will
be held every half hour from
9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the
Wellness Conference Room
at the FoxCare Center. The
public, especially parents and
expectant parents, are encouraged to attend and watch the
AHA’s hands-only CPR demonstration and then practice
this lifesaving skill on infant
mannequins.
Additionally, A.O. Fox
Hospital’s maternity, pediatrics and women’s health clinics along with Oneonta Family
Practice, Susquehanna Family Practice, FoxCare Dental
Associates, Bassett Medical
Center’s pediatrics and birthing center will be featured at
the community baby shower.
Each practice will have staff
on hand to provide helpful
information for families who
have children or who are expecting a baby. The Mothers
and Babies Perinatal Network
as well as the Otsego County
Department of Health will
also be in attendance. Other
activities include guest presentations, games for the
whole family and a chance to

Wink
Wink was born at our shelter on March 7, 2011, and has
been here ever since. She has
been overlooked, most likely
because she is black, but don’t
let that persuade you, because
what a personality!
She is full of energy, and is
always thinking, of that you
can be sure. She isn’t fond
of other cats, but believe it or
not, we do have her residing in
our largest colony, and she has
learned that she can handle it.
Once in a while, if someone
gets too close, she will fuss,
but most of the time she is all
right.
Wink also likes to follow
staff around, while they’re in
cleaning. Her main objective
there is to pick. She loves to
cuff the top of their heads,
when they’re bent down cleaning and least expect it. If she
could only laugh out loud.
If Wink sounds like the
clown for your home, check
her out at Delaware Valley
New York City.
He will have an added item
that you must see, a unique
wood carving, easily recognizable, but very unusual.
Mark your calendar for 7:30
p.m., on April 15, and enjoy a
very different type of program.

Plymouth, Dodge, Jeep, Eagle
Dealership in Sidney and Oneonta for which he was inducted into the Automotive Hall
of Fame. The Hall honors individuals and dealerships that
have significantly impacted
the development of the motor vehicle industry and has
had significant awards each
year. He was presented a ring
by Chrysler for achievements
which he wore proudly.
In 1979 he moved to Punta
Gorda, Fla. to retire. Retirement was not in Leo’s future and he opened Fendick
Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge,
Jeep, Eagle Dealership in Arcadia, Fla. Once again trying
to retire he sold the Arcadia
Dealership only to open New
Dawn Auto Mall in Ft. Myers,
Fla., which he enjoyed going
to daily until his unfortunate
passing.
Leo was an avid fisherman,
never bringing the boat in until
it was full of fish. In addition
to being a fisherman he was
an avid hunter. The tales of his
greatest hunt got larger over
time as his friends would say.
He was a low handicap golfer
and member of St. Andrews
South Golf Course in Punta
Gorda, Fla. Never missing a
“Mafia” golf game where he
was known as “The King.”
One of his most cherished
memories was when he caddied for his best friend, Butch
Baird on the Senior Tour. He
had many tales to tell and told
them often.
Leo was a member of Sacred
Heart Catholic Church, Punta
Gorda, Fla. He loved spending time with family, friends,
and making car deals, which
was his life over 50 years. Leo
enjoyed watching his grandchildren and many nieces and
nephews play sports.
Leo is survived by his wife,
Dawn (nee Schwarz) Fendick;
daughters, Lorraine (Ron)
Sheldon, Debbie (Rob) Benzi,
Mary Fendick and Stefanie
(Jonathan) Brady; grandchildren, Danielle (Adam), Kelly,
Elizabeth (Scott), Seirra (Michael) Shainiqua, Quintin,
Dante and Kyla; great-grandchildren, Joseph, Alex, Taylor, Parker, Michael Jr., and

(Dorothy) Fendick, Al (Rita)
Fendick, Ted Fendick, Donna

Haskell and Richard Fendick;
and numerous nieces and
nephews that he loved dearly.
He was preceded in death
by his parents, John and Mary
Fendick; sister, Margaret Fetcho; brothers, Robert Fendick
and James Fendick; grandson,
Christopher Patak; and his
first wife, Patricia (nee Haverly) Fendick.
A memorial service was
held Easter Sunday, April 5,
at Ponce De Leon Park, Punta
Gorda, Fla.

held sometime in early summer as Leo would say “when
all the snow has melted” at the
Fendick family homestead in

confidence and sportsmanship.
Children ages 5-17 are welcome. Golf is a game that can
be played and enjoyed for life.
Many youngsters play various
sports during school with no exposure to golf. Simply by learning basic golf techniques and
principles these junior golfers
have a distinct advantage over
learning the game after finishing school.

Athelas Therapeutic Riding
Program Meets Special Needs
OTEGO - Athelas Therapeutic Riding, Inc. was started
in 2009 and is now in its sixth
year of operation, providing
individualized programming to
meet the special needs of children and adults. Athelas is announcing the beginning of its
2015 riding sessions beginning
the week of April 20, with five
lessons for each rider. If a rider
misses a week due to illness or
another reason, it can be made
up on the sixth week.
Scholarships may be available to assist in covering the
cost for the rider. Applications
are available on the website
www.athelastherapueticriding.
org. For additional information,
or to enroll a rider, call 7832321, or visit our website.
Recently, Athelas Therapeutic Riding, Inc. received a grant
from the Community Foundation For South Central New
York – Couper Family Fund of
$5,000. These funds will be used
for general operating expenses,
according to Cheri Albrecht,
board president. “This grant
comes to us at a fitting time,”
said Albrecht. “This has been a
very hard winter and the riders
have not been able to endure the
cold weather even in the indoor
arena. This grant helps with the
cost of keeping the program going, until our ridership gets back
to its normal level.”
Athelas looks forward to seeing the riders back in the saddle
and smiles on their faces each
time they accomplish something new. “We are pleased to
add the Community Foundation for SCNY–Couper Family
Fund to our partnership with
others who support our efforts
and help the riders be the best
they can be and have fun at the
same time.”

Tri-Town News — Thursday, April 9, 2015— 11
Trout, Salmon Fishing Season
Opened April 1 in N.Y. State
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that New York
State’s trout and salmon fishing
season opened on April 1. Anglers can start planning their first
outing on the I LOVE NY website, which features information
on freshwater, saltwater and fly
fishing as well as highlights ideal locations for fishing.
“New York is home to some
of the best fishing opportunities
in the world, and we are proud
to kick off yet another season
for trout and salmon,” Governor Cuomo said. “Hundreds of
thousands of visitors come to
this state every year to enjoy the
beautiful natural resources we
have to offer, and I encourage
all anglers to start planning their
first fishing trip of the season
right here in New York.”
New York boasts 7,500 lakes
and ponds and 70,000 miles of
rivers and streams for resident
and visiting anglers to enjoy.
The state is home to an estimated 1.9 million total anglers,
while 297,000 non-resident anglers come to New York to fish,
according to a study by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. New
York’s sport fishing industry
generates an estimated $1.96
billion in economic activity annually, supporting nearly 17,000
jobs.
Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner
Joe Martens said, “Some of the
best fishing of the year can be
found in lakes and ponds immediately following ice out.
Enjoy opening day while using
caution when fishing in high,
cold water and icy banks and
streambeds, common during the
early season this time of year.
To get ready for another great
season of fishing in New York,
the Department of Environmental Conservation plans to stock
over 2.3 million catchable-size
brook, brown and rainbow trout
in 312 lakes and ponds and
roughly 2,900 miles of streams
across the state.”
Fishing Forecast &
Conditions
Given the record-breaking
cold winter New York has experienced, opening day conditions
will be best on Long Island and
in the lower Hudson Valley,
which typically warm up earlier than other areas of the state
and have fishable stream flows.
Anglers will have the best success using bait and lures, such
as spinners.
Early season trout fishing
recommendations by the Department of Environmental
Conservation can be found in
the 2015 Coldwater Fishing
Forecast at www.dec.ny.gov/
outdoor/63598.html. The website also includes a map of recommended fishing locations at
www.dec.ny.gov/pubs/42978.
html and specific locations
on streams where the Department of Environmental Conservation has purchased fishing
easements at www.dec.ny.gov/
outdoor/9924.html. In addition, the free New York Fishing,
Hunting & Wildlife mobile app
provides up-to-date information on fishing, hunting, wildlife watching and other outdoor
adventure opportunities in New
York and gives both novice
and seasoned outdoorsmen and
women essential information in
the palm of their hand.
Fishing Licenses
Before heading out for opening day, make sure you have
your license. Anyone 16 years
of age and older who desires to
fish in New York must have a
New York State fishing license.
New York State reduced license
fees in 2014 for both resident
and non-resident anglers, making fishing in New York more
affordable than ever.
Buying a license has also been
made more convenient. Anglers
can purchase their license and
print them for immediate use on
their home computer at www.
licensecenter.ny.gov/. Anglers
can also purchase their license
by phone by calling 1-866-9332257, or from the numerous license issuing agents across the
state. Fishing licenses are now
valid for 365 days from the date
of purchase.
Those interested in purchasing a lifetime fishing license
should consider a New York
State Adventure license, which
is incorporated on their NY
Driver’s License and provides
a free fishing themed license
plate.
Regulations Changes
A number of regulation
changes relating to trout fishing will take effect on April 1.
These include the following
special regulations:
• A new catch and release
season for trout on designated
sections of the Salmon River
(Franklin County) and Ninemile
Creek (Onondaga County);
• A year-round trout season,
with catch and release fishing
only from October 16 through
March 31, on the following
streams in Western New York:
Chenunda Creek, Oatka Creek,
Clear Creek, Fenton Brook,
Prendergast Creek and waters in
Allegany State Park; and
• A daily creel limit of five
fish with no more than two fish
longer than 12 inches, for some
waters in Herkimer, Jefferson,
Lewis, Oneida, and St. Lawrence counties, as well as for
Little River and Oswegatchie
River in St. Lawrence County
and Oriskany Creek in Oneida
County.
Anglers should use the 2015
Freshwater Fishing Regulations
Guide available at all sporting
license sales outlets, or at www.
dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7917.html.
Anglers should also review the
statewide trout regulations at
www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7917.

special regulations apply to the
waters they intend to fish.
Clean, Drain and Dry:
Prevent the Spread of
Aquatic Invasive Species
To help slow the spread of
both aquatic and terrestrial invasive species, all citizens should
clean, drain and dry watercraft
and gear after boating and fishing. Anglers are reminded to
be sure to disinfect their fishing equipment, including waders and boots before entering a
new body of water. Since 2007,
Didymo, an invasive algae species, has been discovered many
streams in New York State.
Didymo can attach to waders,
particularly felt soles, and this
is believed to be the primary
mechanism for its spread from
its initial discovery location.
Wading anglers are encouraged
to use readily available alternatives to felt-soled waders and
wading boots. All gear should
be dried and/or disinfected before it is used in a new body
of water. Methods to clean
and disinfect fishing gear can
be found at www.dec.ny.gov/
animals/50121.html.

Honoring Patient Wishes
An Evening with Author
Stephen Kiernan
Author Stephen Kiernan interviewed patients and their families
from all walks of life as well as hundreds of physicians. His research
is supported by his personal experience and what he learned from
the very different deaths of his own mother and father.
Using a mix of hard data and illustrational storytelling, Mr. Kiernan will
provide insight that will inspire dialogue among patients, caregivers
and medical professionals. This dialogue about “What Matters Most”
will help everyone to be able to honor their own wishes and the
wishes of those they love, a gift truly worthy of exploring.

Spring Into Action
And Donate Blood
BINGHAMTON - The
American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to
make a difference in the lives
of patients this spring by giving blood. Donated blood is
perishable and must be constantly replenished to keep up
with the demand. Red blood
cells, with a shelf life of only
42 days, are the most frequently transfused blood component, and are always needed
by hospitals.
Eligible donors can give
red cells through either a
regular whole blood donation
or a double red cell donation,
where available. Double red
cell donations yield twice the
usual amount of red cells in
a single appointment and are
accepted at select donation
locations. Double red cell
donors must meet additional
eligibility criteria, which will
be determined at the donation
appointment.
Donors with all blood types
are needed, especially those
with types O negative, A negative and B negative. Whole
blood can be donated every 56
days, and double red cells may
be donated every 112 days, up
to three times per year.
To find a donation opportunity or 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). Local blood drives

the
American Red Cross Blood
Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to
make an appointment or for
more information. All blood
types are needed to ensure a
reliable supply for patients. A
blood donor card or driver’s
license or two other forms of
identification are required at
check-in. Individuals who are
17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states),
weigh at least 110 pounds and
are in generally good health
may be eligible to donate

and other donors 18 years of
