SIDNEY - “It’s like a puzzle, all the parts have to be
put together and it’s not finished until the last piece is
put in place.” That’s the way
Sidney Mayor Andy Matviak
described the many facets
involved in the village’s ongoing long-term community
flood recovery and reduction
of future flooding program.
Matviak said he understands
residents’ frustrations with the
program, especially those who
have signed on to the buyout,
explaining that it is “continually evolving.”
There are items that can
realistically be accomplished
in a timely fashion but some
aspects of “our current plan
could take 10 to 15 years to
complete. We are very fortunate we have people in the
county, state and federal government and our consultants
working with us.”
The buyout and taking down
of homes in the village’s flood
plain is a major consideration
in the village’s flood recovery
and future flood prevention
program. Matviak said the village is seeking approval from
FEMA for the buyout of 138
properties but at this time the
village has funding for only
78. Currently 18 homes have
been taken down or are in the
process of coming down. Initially homes eligible for the
buyout had to have sustained
50 per cent damage, but Matviak said that requirement has
been waived for the second
round of buyouts.
Matviak noted that at this
time they are concentrating
efforts on the core area in the
village’s flood plain - from the
Sidney Fire Station on River
St. west and south including
the Oak Ave. and Winegard
St. area. “If we can only get so
much funding at this time, this
is the area we need to concentrate on.”
Helping to make housing
options available in Sidney
for those in the flood buyout
program, as well as encourage others to locate in Sidney, the Village of Sidney and
the Town of Sidney Planning
Boards held a joint meeting
last November to consider a
petition for the village to annex lands in the Town of Sidney. Matviak said there is no
deadline on the annexation
process until it is underway.
Matviak said that each step
the village takes has to first
have a plan, and the village
looks to their consultants to
devise plans based on village
needs. “To get money to carry
out a plan we have to work
within guidelines, submit a
plan and get approval before
moving forward.” To get the
necessary funding the village
has to show they have a workable plan. “Once we have a
plan, that opens doors for us,”
said Matviak. The village’s
plans also have to fit into an
overall scheme for the area.
Sidney is in the Southern Tier
Region and the village’s plans
have to be compatible with
those of the Southern Tier.
The most recent addition to
efforts to reduce future flooding is the village’s decision
to fund a $30,000 feasibility
study to ascertain the value of
a berm/floodwall to protect the
quadrant of the village from
Main St. to Willow St., and
the area east of Union St. This
is similar to efforts in the past
that never came to fruition.
“We need to find out if it’s doable,” said Matviak. Approval
from both the Army Corps of
Engineers and the DEC would
also be required as they will
consider the impact it would
have on areas upstream and
downstream.
While concentrating on current efforts to reduce flooding
in the immediate future, the
village is also looking further
down the road. The village
recently received three grants
targeting plans based on reducing flooding in the area.
These include $1,046,500
from NY State Dept. of State’s
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program to implement the
Green Streetscape Program
including the design of pedestrian facilities, storm water improvements, bioswales,
rain gardens and porous pavement. A $50,000 grant from
NYS Empire State Develop(Continued on Page 2)
Sidney Village’s New Website
Will Keep Residents Informed
SIDNEY - The flood recovery program is a prime
consideration for the Village
of Sidney. However, the village is also continuing to deal
with other matters affecting its
daily operation.
Of particular interest is the
new village website, a prime
consideration in helping village officials keep the public
informed. The website can be
accessed at www.villageofsidney.org. Included on the website are minutes from the village board meetings, village
codes, a listing of officials
and office telephone numbers
and special information. The
website is being continually
updated.
“I encourage people to go
to our website,” said Sidney
Village Mayor Andy Matviak.
“We will also include specific
information like street closings and event parking.”
The village is currently
working on the 2015-16 budget due in April. Committee
chairs and department heads
will be submitting their requests for the board to evaluate in coming up with a new
budget. This includes such
areas as street improvements,
upkeep of the Sidney Civic
Center and improvements at
Keith Clark Park and at other
recreational facilities including the pool and playing fields.
The village received a $5,000
grant from the O’Connor
Foundation to make improvements at the Billy Ray field.
According to state guide-
lines, an increase in the village budget would need to be
capped at approximately 1.5
percent to qualify for state
property tax refunds.
Matviak said at this time the
loss of homes in the area due
to the flood buyout wouldn’t
have an impact on the budget.
The village has hired a new
consulting firm, McFarland
and Johnson, to help write
grants for improvements at the
Sidney Municipal Airport that
will meet FAA regulations.
The village has used McFarland and Johnson in the past.
Funds have also come
to the village from Senator
James Seward’s office in the
amount of $200,000 to purchase a building in the village
for an E-Center. An E-Center
is like an incubator, designed
as rental space for a new business in hopes the business
will grow and move on. There
may or may not be any tax
breaks granted. There are two
E-Centers in Delaware Co.
including in Delhi and Margaretville. “I think it would be
beneficial if we can encourage
new businesses, but as yet we
don’t have a building,” said
Matviak.
The village also received
$25,000 from New York State
Empire State Development for
a study to determine the economic benefits or detriments
of having a Free Trade Zone in
the community. “We will have
to see if there is a need for it,”
said Matviak.
NO PICNICS ON THIS PICNIC TABLE! Winter made
another blustery appearance in the tri-town area earlier
this week. Schools were closed, roads had to be cleared
and sidewalks shoveled. The number of inches that
fell during the storm labeled “Linus” in Sidney could be
measured by looking at the snow accumulation on this
table.

needs to be built in the flood
plain to hold more water during a major flood event.
The village also received a
grant of $30,000 for a more
immediate plan - one to address updating the process
at the wastewater treatment
plant. “We plan to see what
we can do to run the plant
more efficiently,” said Matviak. “We have parts that need
replacing and we are looking
to replace them with modern
technology. We want to see
what new technologies are out
there.”
The village is looking at expanding one of the drying beds
and adding additional beds in
connection with the wastewater treatment plant. “We would
have to bond $350,000 so we
can expand drying beds. By
expanding the drying beds we
can operate more efficiently
and reduce the cost of processing wastes.”
Sidney’s Main St. is also a
concern. “The village is looking at how flood water can be
eliminated from Main St.,”
said Matviak, as well as how
the buildings and infrastructure can be updated and improved. The village has been
working with the Delaware
Co. IDA for a grant. Their first
grant application was turned
down, but the village plans
to submit another application
in the next round of funding.
“What we are looking at are
ways to make the area more
pedestrian friendly and provide green space to hold water. We are waiting to get more
information to submit a new
application.”
While many areas in New
York State have experienced
severe flood damage from recent storms, including downstate, Matviak said the Village
of Sidney has been very fortunate to receive substantial
funding for flood rehabilitation
and future flood prevention.
“There are many bumps in
the road (to recovery) but I
am encouraged by the progress being made,” concluded
Mayor Matviak.

Guilford’s Winter Social Feb. 14
Will Feature “Ghost Hunters”
by Wilma Felton-Gray
GUILFORD
–
Ghost
Alert….The winter blues got
you down and you need a
chance to get out and about
to scare away those ghostly
chills? Well, The Guilford Historical Society has just the presentation to satisfy and create
new visions and ideas of what
is the paranormal. Join GHS
for a great presentation by the
Ghost Hunters, Rome Investigators of the Paranormal, Inc.
on Saturday, Feb. 14 from 12
to 3 p.m. at the Guilford Methodist Church on Main Street.
Come at noon for free refreshments and socializing. The
program with R.I.P. will begin
approximately at 1 p.m. GHS
has a variety of displays for
you to peruse.
So who is this group and
what do they do? Rome Investigators of the Paranormal, Inc.
or simply R.I.P., a NYS notfor-profit group, was founded
in December 2001 by Cousins and Romans, Dr. David
DeProspero and Pete Leonard. They have traveled the
Northeast providing support
and service to people who feel
that they are the victims of the
paranormal. Over the past few
years they have become heavily involved in the public side
of the paranormal, including
hosting lectures, participating
in conventions, and orchestrating historical fundraising.
It is their deep abiding respect
for their community, which
prompted the offering for our
GHS social this year.
The following information
was provided by R.I.P. The
“Rome Investigators of the
Paranormal, Inc. are always
searching for new and intriguing locations to investigate and
venues to host public events
and book signings. No one
understands better the lack of
funding historical locations receive in this current economic
downturn. However, the paranormal genre has a faithful
following and public events
that combine genuine history
and an exploration of paranormal phenomena are always
very popular. First and fore-
most RIP is not a group of kids
running around in cemeteries
at night, or breaking into old
buildings. If we are not called
in by a family or business, we
obtain written permission for
all of the places we investigate.
We operate with the highest
standards of professionalism.
Several of us are government
employees, others teachers,
doctors, lawyers, professional
engineers, business professionals and so on. We are not
a group of young thrill seekers. We are on a mission to aid
people who feel they have no
place left to turn.
Make no mistake, over the
years there has been a marked
increase in the number of people “ghost hunting”, and fly-by
night group’s spring up every
day and there have been some
very bad ones in this area.
They talk a good show but in
the end there are many negative stories out there about
the damage they have done.
All I can do is reassure you
we are nothing like that. We
are often imitated, but we are
never duplicated. So we ask,
how may we help you? We
have hosted countless presentations for libraries, historical
societies, community centers,
public venues as well as participating in conventions. We
have presented in front of
crowds as small as five and
as large as 200, depending on
the capacity constraints of the
venue. We have nearly a dozen
captivating presentations in
our arsenal which focus on a
variety of specific topics, but
two of our most popular general lectures include “So you
want to be a Ghost Hunter?”
and “The Paranormal Cousins” (which is the stories of
our founding members and
cousins Dr. David DeProspero and Pete Leonard, and the
haunted house they grew up in
as kids). The cousins have also
authored a book called “If the
walls start to bleed…” which
is the true life account that the
presentation is based on. They
also tour colleges throughout
the US telling their stories to
those with an interest in the
paranormal.
Annual Soup Supper
Is this Saturday, Feb. 7
AFTON - Tired of the cold
and snow? Come join your
neighbors at the Afton Presbyterian Church for a bowl of
hot and hearty vegetable beef
barley soup. Don’t eat beef?
Try our vegetarian version.
Either soup will warm you up
from the inside out. Second
helpings of soup are encouraged. Also on the menu are a
variety of home baked breads
and pies.
Our soup supper was started 39 years ago by Henry
Olsen and it was his original
recipe that was used. Through
the years four more members
of our church have taken over
the running of the soup supper. Tom Kirsner took over
for Henry, then Frank Peters.
Chris Lissandrello was next,
and he made our vegetarian
version. Our current cook is
Nancy Roberts. Each cook
has added their own personal
flare, and tweaked the recipe
just a tad. We think our soup
is something special!
Join us this Saturday starting at 4 p.m., children five and
younger eat free. Quart jars of
soup to go will be available
Friday from 1 until 3 p.m., and
again all day Saturday.

in some customs, the menu of
Shrove Tuesday was designed
to use up all these products in
the kitchen and storeroom. As
Presbyterians, we do not usually
adhere to customs such as these;
however this symbolism of the
preparation for Lent has become
a tradition.
A meal of pancakes, sausage,
scrambled eggs will be prepared

makers. Each family is asked to
bring a portion of your favorite

everyone at the end of the meal.
Beverages will be provided.
Following dessert, a brief

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Afton Group Petitions
For IVCI Vote
Many voters in Afton think
that they will get to vote on
whether the Afton Town Board
can buy the IVCI building and
five acres for $295,000 and
move the town hall and town
court there. We got to vote on
the previous town board decision to build a new town hall,
town court and town garage in
2012 and we said “no.” But
this time is different. The town
government chose to not put
this purchase to a vote. However, town law requires them
to put it to a vote if at least
five percent of voters in the
last election petition within 30
days of the town board’s decision. It’s called a Permissive
Referendum.
Some of us from the Afton
Vision Group took around
a petition to force the town
board to have a Referendum.
Most people thought a vote
was required. They want to
be given the opportunity to
vote on this important issue.
Enough people have signed
the petition and it will be filed
as required by law. The board
must schedule a vote sometime in April. Democracy is
like a muscle. It grows weak if
one doesn’t use it.

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS
SIDNEY
25 YEARS AGO
February 7, 1990
Keith Clark has announced
plans to construct a new
170,000 square foot Distribution Center at its headquarters
in Sidney. Following months
of discussion and review with
the Federal Aviation Administration, the company and the
Village of Sidney were given
approval to proceed with the
building project at the company’s O’Neil Road site. Land
development and construction
are planned to begin by early
spring with an expected completion date of Dec. 1, 1990.
Last summer, the company
initiated another major building project which is currently
nearing completion. That
building, a 26,000 square foot
office and cafeteria, will be
completed by April, 1990.

SIDNEY
50 YEARS AGO
February 3, 1965
The sudden passing of Duncan L. Adair, 62, ended a remarkable career and a remarkable period of development in
the facilities of the Village of
Sidney. He served in the dual
capacity of Village Engineer
ad Superintendent of Public
Works since 1942, accomplishing many projects with an
efficiency of design and methods saving untold thousands
of dollars. He provided protection of the river banks, designed and constructed storm
and sanitary sewers, oversaw
activities from the airport,
all the way to zoning regulations. He constructed all of the
streets lying south of Pearl St.
(except Overlook-Pineview)
and Prospect Drive, James
St., Hatfield Ave. and Steiner
Road. Under his leadership,
the Village of Sidney was
in the forefront of having all
construction done under the
direction of a village engineer
with his own crew of men.
Daniel E. Fox, 72, organizer and captain of Troop C
in Sidney, died early Monday,
Feb. 1 in the Clifton Springs
Hospital. He joined the State
Police almost at the beginning
in 1917. In four years, at the
age of 29, he rose to Captain
and was placed in command
of Troop C, which included
most of the southern tier. The
troop was noted for its fine
police work and was one of
the few commended in the
Legislature.
In the early days of Troop
C, the troopers patrolled 10
counties on horseback. Captain Fox imported 25 spotted
mares and organized a team
of Rough Riders who became
internationally known for skill
and daring.
Captain Fox was a busy
man but found time to be a
civic leader. He helped both
the Boy Scouts and the Girl
Scouts in their early days of
organization. He started a
program, still followed, that
assured Christmas would be a
time of good cheer for all unfortunate families in the area.
He was one of the organizers
of Sidney Rotary Club and
was a member of the Sidney
Masonic Lodge and Binghamton Shrine.
After retiring from the State
Police, Captain Fox went into
the restaurant business in
Binghamton.

Planning Board
To Meet Feb. 9
SIDNEY - The Town of Sidney Planning Board will hold
a meeting in public on Monday, Feb. 9. The work session
will take place in room 202 at
the Civic Center, Sidney, from
6 to 8 p.m.
In Idaho, a citizen is
forbidden by law to give
another citizen a box of
candy that weighs more
than 50 pounds.
As a blog takes out after the
archer Lars Andersen [mentioned in the column last week]
with the intention of taking
his claims apart, I will just
briefly mention that the blog,
Geek Dad, “debunks” most
of Lars’ claims by observing
that someone else somewhere
knows about the technique.
This is not the same as proving
the techniques are fake, mind
you, but is a common method
of looking intelligent. So is the
“straw man” fallacy, misrepresenting what someone says
in order to shoot them down,
which is also employed. The
blogger claims Lars cannot
shoot at long distances while
there is video footage showing him doing just that. This
is by way of proving us all
“gullible.” There are a couple
of points that have merit, but
since the others are so weak,
overall, you would have to
be more than a little gullible to buy into Geek Dad’s
criticisms.
But I promised to be funny
for a while, so my first attempt
in that direction is to share
some talk-to-text bloopers.
Mind you, the technology is
elegant, fascinating and even
capable of using context to edit
itself. However, it can’t think,
which is where many these
days are getting their giggles
or finding themselves in hot
water. The name Stephanie is
obviously not common enough
for the text talker, rendered
variously as “stuff,” “staff”
and even “staff-funny.” Some
pointers: never say “umm”
as you dictate, it will become
“am” or some other word the
gadget thinks makes more
sense, possibly changing other
words that were originally
right in the process. Don’t say
“did you question Mark about
it?” because it may come out
“did you ? about it?” Be clear
and distinct about ending letters, or it will give “ban” for
“band” and “the” for “that.”
Do not use words like “thus.”
It has never heard of that, but
it knows “consequently,”
“mayhap” and even “perchance.” However, Andalusia becomes “and I will see
you.” Of course, this is only
my talker to texter, Verizon’s,
but I assume that other brands
have similar glitches.
Some other bloopers:
Father Gene (my husband)
became Bother Gene, which
is what I probably do much of
the time.
“Thought so” became
“bottle.”
If you are a contractor, and
you say “I have to do a quote”
you may end up with “I have
to do a “ “.
“Sordid” is likely to become
“sorted.”
In one particularly mysterious translation, “I apologize”
became “Powledge eyes.”
(Capitalized. Is Powledge a
company I have never heard
of? Yes, but it is also a septic
company, a unit of some kind
in Israel, a prison, and a last
name I have never run across
in my life!)
“Frou-frah” must not be in
the lexicon (or hear-icon) because it turned into “free-forall.” Which is more or less
what the words seem to have
with each other at times.
Violins weigh less than 16
ounces yet resist string
tension of over 65 pounds.

RESTORED DEPOT INTERIOR with Dr. Watson
standing near his grandfather’s trunk.
Restored Train Station
Now Home to Depot Dental
By Peg Ross,
Greene Town Historian
Douglas A. Watson, D.D.S,
is having an open house at his
business, Depot Dental, at 4
Washington St. in Greene,
on Saturday, Feb. 7, from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. His ad invites
you to “come join us and see
the complete renovation of the
Depot!” You won’t be disappointed. Great care has been
taken to leave as much of the
original interior as possible.
The windows, doors, floors
and woodwork are so beautiful that they appear to gleam
with pride.
It is evident that the Depot
was built with craftsmanship –
that is on display everywhere
you look. You are even greeted by the freight scales left
in place. All this is complemented by very interesting
railroad photographs, instruments, signs and drawings on
the walls.
The D.L.&W. Railroad, or
better known as the Lackawanna, bought the Ezra Wheeler
Mill property in 1913 and tore
down the old saw and grist
mill. The next year the brick
passenger depot was built on
its site, costing $17,000, and
the old depot north of the coal
shed became the freight station. According to the history

HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,123
by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
FEBRUARY 2015
The Afton Historical Society has quite a collection of
materials on the Grange, also known as the Patrons of
Husbandry. These papers and booklets were apparently
donated to the museum when the Afton Grange 1515 disbanded. According to a Directory of Chenango Granges
for the Centennial Year of 1995-1996, there were
Granges in Afton, Bainbridge, Greene, McDonough,
Norwich, South Otselic, Oxford, Sherburne, Smithville
Center, Smithville Flats and Smyrna. The Afton Grange
Hall was at the site of the present VFW meeting rooms.
The Patrons of Husbandry was organized nationally
in 1867. Just after the Civil War the country was facing
political, social and economic problems. Farmers especially were experiencing little of any social life, discouragement, and a sense of futility. Since 1867, the Grange
has been a force in sponsoring highway programs,
the Extension service, the Vo-Ag program, removal
of federal tax on fuel for “on-the-farm” use, Rural Free
Delivery and Parcel Post System, the U.S. Department The logo of the Patrons of Husbandry
of Agriculture, groundwork for farmers’ cooperatives, the or Grange. From “The Grange,
Rural Electrification Administration and Rural Telephone 1867-1967” from the Afton Historical
Program, plus many other programs which we take for Society.
granted today.
The earliest Grange was Potomac No. 1 in Washington, D.C. in 1868. It was designed primarily as a “tryout” school of instruction. Fredonia, N.. Grange No. 1 was the first working Grange, organized in 1915. The
Green Mountain No. 1, founded in 1871 was the first Grange in the entire New England area.
Women had important roles in the Grange and had full equality with men. The names of Ceres, Pomona
and Flora for three women officers were taken from Roman mythology, although the ritual is based on Greek
mythology. The four degrees are Faith, Hope, Charity and Fidelity. The ritual has at least 43 direct quotations
from the Bible.
Grange office names are based on those of old English estates. They are Gate Keeper, Overseer, Lecturer,
Steward and Chaplain.
Mildred Folsom, it was beautifully landscaped with green
lawn and shrubbery and an
asset to the community. Between Binghamton and Utica,
the Greene station handled the
most freight and the South
Oxford Station, called Coventry Station, handled the most
stone.
There were four D.L.&W.
passenger trains daily each
way from Binghamton to
Utica and at least five station
agents through the years. The
last one, Michael Spring, in
the early days had three telegraph operators, two clerks
and one freight assistant. The
last passenger train was discontinued about 1950 and Mr.
Spring had little to do. You can
see the station agent’s office,
which is now Dr. Watson’s
personal office.
In 1962, Ralph A. Woodworth bought the long empty
D.L.&W. passenger depot for
a saddlery and found the cellar
full of ashes. Gordon Hinman
related how he used to work
for Carl Sturdevant, the station agent when Gordon was a
teenager. His job was to keep
the coal furnace fire going and
to empty the ashes, which he
did faithfully. But when the
depot was no longer in use,
nobody emptied the ashes in
the cellar. They became damp
and then hardened and were
impossible to shovel. Gordon said a special truck was
brought in with a large hose
and the workmen tried to suction the ashes out. That only
damaged the truck. Eventually
the ashes were removed with a
lot of hard work.
Do go and admire the project that has been completed.
We in Greene so appreciate
that Dr. Watson was interested
in the history of the building,
has restored it to its original beauty and is using it as
his dental business. All good
news.

Quote of the Week
The quote of the week is
from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
“Do not go where the path may
lead, go instead where there is
no path and leave a trail.” A
comment for this is make your
own way in life and don’t follow others, you never know
where this could lead you.
You may stumble sometimes
but get back up and make your
mark on your life with a good
impression.
Thank You
Jim and Mary Tomeo and
family wish to thank all who
came and donated to the pancake breakfast and bake sale
fundraiser at the Masonville
Federated Church on Saturday, Jan. 31. Your support is
very much appreciated and
will surely help the family. A
great big thank you to all who
donated and helped in any
way, to make the breakfast a
success. Your help is always
appreciated by all. Make sure
you mark your calendars for
the next breakfast and bake
sale on Saturday, Feb. 28.
School News
The weather says we are
expecting a lot of snow in
this storm coming on Monday and there is no school as a
result, be careful on the roads
everyone.
Let’s give support to the
students in band and chorus.
There will be a high school
band and chorus cabaret concert on Wednesday, Feb. 11 in
the high school gymnasium at
6:30 p.m. These concerts are
a lot of fun with lots of good
music numbers. Have a good
week students and don’t forget your sweethearts on Valentines Day Saturday, Feb. 14.
Wish a favorite teacher, loved
one, mother or mother figure
in your life, or just someone
special in your life a very
great day.
On the Farm
The cold weather is quite a
factor in the farming process
this past week and now we
have some more snow coming and cold weather again
for the rest of the week. So
far the tractors have been able
to keep going and the manure
is being spread sometimes in
places that the fellas can get
to. I bet many of you watched
the Super Bowl and were surprised at the outcome of the
game at the end, quite exciting
with the Patriots winning in
the last minutes of the game.
Keep warm everyone in these
very cold days ahead.
Condolences
Sympathy is extended to
the family and friends of long
time Masonville resident Vivian Wilson who passed away
this past week. Sympathy is
also extended to the family
and friends of Dorothy Hawk
who passed away this past
week also at the home of her
daughter Deborah in Florida
and has many family members
in Masonville.

Lorena (Gaughan) Bowers
NORWICH
Lorena
(Gaughan) Bowers, 87, of Norwich, passed away peacefully
on Monday, Jan. 26, 2015 at the
Chenango Memorial Hospital in
Norwich.
Lorena was born the daughter
of the late William and Delilah

in Oneonta. Lorena attended
New Lisbon District Schools
until the 6th grade. She was a
graduate of the Morris Central

continued her education and
completed a business program
at Ridley Lowell in Binghamton. In 1947 Lorena began her
career at Preferred Mutual Insurance Company in New Berlin. On Oct. 28, 1950, Lorena
married her beloved husband,
Fred “Bunky” Bowers, at the
Broad St. United Methodist
Church in Norwich. In 1952
Lorena started working at Norwich Pharmaceuticals as a secretary where she later retired as
a data processor after 20 years
of service.
Lorena spent time socializing
at the Elks with her husband
Bunky and enjoyed participating in several mixed bowling
leagues in the area. Lorena was
undoubtedly successful, both
academically and in her career
but was most proud of her role
as a dedicated wife, mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother. She cherished the time
she spent raising her three children Michael, Robert and Mary,
and always enjoyed watching
them participate in sporting
events. Lorena’s fondest memories were the times she spent
with family, and she especially
treasured the relationship she
had with her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Her family will always have very special memories of the ways she
filled their lives with love and
laughter.
Lorena is survived by her
daughter, Mary and husband
Edson Kitchen, Bainbridge; her
twin sister, Loretta Steward,
Binghamton and twin siblings
sister, Dorthea Knickerbacher,
Oneonta; and brother, Donald

First Baptist Church Plans
Special Lenten Services
BAINBRIDGE - First Baptist Church of Bainbridge
wishes to encourage all Upstate New Yorkers to begin
looking forward to spring. In
our preparation for spring we
consider the coming weeks as
we plan for the Lenten season
and Easter. We wish you all a
meaningful time of reflection
on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Sermons for Feb. 8 and 15
will focus on two more Temptations: Relevance and Popularity - as portrayed in the
Gospel of Mark. The Seven
Weeks of Lent will follow,
thematically, the final days of
Jesus in Jerusalem using the
book The Last Week by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic
Crossan as a template, and
Gospel texts from Mark.
This Sunday, Feb. 8 will
bring a service of Introduction and Ordination for our
board representatives, newly
affirmed during our annual
meeting in January. Also on
this Sunday our Sunday morning adult study will resume
after worship, with a study on
Proverbs: Learning to Live
Wisely. This is a 10-week
themed study of selected proverbs published by InterVarsity
Press. It takes place around
11:15 a.m. Our Wednesday
Bible Study continues on the
Book of Job: Wrestling with
God at noon.
An Ash Wednesday service
will be offered at 5:30 p.m.
on Wednesday, Feb. 18. This
will include the imposition
of ashes, anointing if desired,
and a service of Communion.
All are welcome to attend this
service.
First Baptist is offering 6”
x 13” laser engraved breadboards as a fundraiser for the
Saturday morning Soup Kitchen. The boards say “Give Us
This Day Our Daily Bread”
and 100% of the proceeds will
go to the Soup Kitchen. They
should be here in time for
Mother’s Day. For more information or to reserve a board,
contact Pastor Wendy at the
phone number below.
First Baptist Church is a
small community church that
is active, vibrant, and loving.
Feel free to attend any of our
Bible studies or services. All
are welcome. We are located
right in downtown Bainbridge,
12 South Main St., between the
Scoville-Meno dealership and
Sidney Federal Credit Union.
If you need a ride, call Pastor
Wendy at 315-750-0997.

known dairy farmer operating
Tyrbach Farms in Walton until
his retirement in 2008. He was
an accomplished “cow man”
who loved his cows like family.
He was a member of the Delaware County Holstein Association and served on the Walton
Town Board in the 1980s.
In 1971 George became a
licensed real estate broker and
brokered some of the largest
land sales in Delaware County.
In 1972 he and his New York
City partner started a cattle investment firm, named Dreamstreet. At one time Dreamstreet
owned and managed 20 farms
in Delaware County and had
over 70 employees. George
bred one of the most famous
cows in the Holstein breed:
Tyrbach Elevation Twinkie. In
1979 George sold Dreamstreet
so he could go back to his main
love, dairy farming. He ran and
operated Tyrbach Holsteins until 2008. He kept some cows
until his last day, and they were
a source of tremendous joy.
George was an avid bridge
player and loved the duplicate
bridge club in Oneonta. He
was also a great chess player
and challenged his wife and
grandchildren to impromptu
games often.
He is survived by his wife,
Linda Morgan, Walton; children, Lois (Dan) Cook, Glenmore, Pa., Anne (Nick) Kelsh,
Philadelphia, Pa., Katharine
Morgan (Robert Sloss), Franklin, George (Mary) Morgan,
Summit, N.J. and Rebecca Morgan (Greg Schnabel), Franklin;

Rocco and Bernard Schnabel;
brothers, Christopher (Sylvia) Morgan, Walton and John

Hendrickson, Walton; and a
large loving extended family of
nieces, nephews and cousins.
A celebration of George’s
life will be held in the spring
at his home in Walton. Arrangements are with Courtney
Funeral Home, Walton.
Memorial contribution in
memory of George may be
made to the William B.Ogen
Free Library, Gardner Place
and the Delaware County Fair,
