Top Pictures: Buckley Road near Smith Pond. At Right: end of Buckley Road near 206 (note person at top of caved in area). Flash Flooding Closes Roads In Tri-Town Area COVENTRY – Localized storms last week caused flash flooding that resulted in the closure of roads in the Town of Coventry, and several other roads in the Bainbridge, Guilford and Afton areas. Sporadic but heavy rains that fell on already saturated grounds, and swollen creeks that overflowed their banks compromised a number of area roads. The Town of Coventry was among the areas most affected. Town of Coventry Supervisor John Phelan said that 13 town roads sustained damage, some severe enough to require at least temporary closure. “Everyone had alternative routes but for some it has been an inconvenience,” said Phelan. Among the roads closed was Buckley Hill Road where the north end was completely washed out. A conduit has already been installed and the road re-opened. On Tuesday, Phelan said some roads allow only one lane traffic but the only road still completely closed is Wylie-Horton Rd. This road is only on state land so does not directly impact residents. Last Friday the Chenango Co. Emergency Management Office issued a warning alert that Smith Pond in the Town of Coventry had suffered significant damage in Thursday night’s flash flood, and there was a potential that a dam could fail causing the pond to give way resulting in flooding to the south and southeast. Smith Pond feeds into a small creek, which runs to the Village of Afton. The dam did eventually fail and Phelan said the Department of Environmental Conservation Dam Safety reported that the dam was completely breached. Phelan said the dam is privately owned and they are trying to contact the absentee owner. According to Phelan, there are only two solutions, to repair the dam or open it up and let the water pass. He said while the town had overseen the dam and inspected it to insure public safety downstream, it is not the town’s responsibility. On Tuesday there were representatives from several agencies on hand to assess and help with the damage in the Town of Coventry, as well as come up with solutions for the hardest hit areas. Represented were Chenango Co. Soil and Water Conservation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Chenango Co. Emergency Services, DEC Dam Safety and Afton and Coventry Fire Depart- ments. Because of the severe damage, Phelan said the town needs engineering expertise. While they are looking to FEMA for some assistance, Phelan said it was such a localized storm they are not sure of FEMA’s help. Rather they are more optimistic about having a shared service agreement with the state. Phelan said among their major concerns are Buckley Hill Road, Cueball Road and Moran Road. Barricades and warning cones have been put up to caution drivers and Phelan urges people to “use extreme caution and respect the barricades and cones.” He said, “roads may look okay but if you travel on some sections and the road breaks down you could drop twenty feet.” Phelan praised the crews for their hard work in response to the emergency situation, saying they had no time off. Another area seriously affected was the Bainbridge-Guilford Road. A creek in back of the old Borden plant overflowed its banks after a beaver dam broke and sent debris down, plugging up the creek. Waters spread across the road to houses on the other side. Several homeowners lost furnaces and hot water heaters as water seeped into their cellars. Firemen were soon out pumping out basements. Bridges on the road were problematic as adjacent roadways were washed away. Doris Bame, who lives on the road, said in over 40 years she has never seen the area so flooded, even in the flood of 2006. Others in the Bainbridge area also noted that it was worse than in 2006 with flooded basements that had three to four feet of water. Rt. 7 east of Afton closed when fill under the road was washed out resulting in a large cavern in the roadway. The road is expected to be closed for some time. Lynn Shultis, Town of Afton highway superintendent, said the bridge on lower Morgan Rd. in the town was wiped out but it is a county not town responsibility. The same bridge was closed in the 2006 flood. Richard Ramsey, head of the Afton Village department of public works, said there were no real problems in the village. In Sidney village, with the exception of several problem culverts, Sidney Village Engineer John Woodyshek said he knew of no severe problems. Above and right: Rt. 7 bridge is closed outside of the village of Afton alternate routes include I88, Algerine St. and the “back river” road. Above: Water flooded from a creek at the Bainbridge end of the Bainbridge Guilford Road. Left: Many roads were temporarily closed due to damage from flash flooding including this section of Co. Rt. 17 at West Bainbridge. The shoulder of Route 206 was also damaged. 2 — Tri-Town News — Thursday, June 23, 2011 CHICKEN BBQS BAINBRIDGE – The Bainbridge American Legion Post 806 will be selling Chicken by Wilson on Saturday, July 2 from 10:30 a.m. till sold out at the Family Dollar on North Main St., Bainbridge.

It sold out more than 200 seats. “This show is a wonderful snow-globe look at growing up in small town America in the black and white days of the 1950s and 1960s. My vantage point to this era was from the front window of my parents little two-shopping cart grocery store on Main Street in Sidney. Despite the topic being place specific,” D’Imperio said, “the subject really resonates with people from all over the place, even those who have never heard of Sidney before. Only the names are different,” he laughed. “The swimming holes, the old-timers, the triumphs and disasters, the best hamburger in town, the old schoolteachers, the rivalries and the memories all come rushing back during my talk. For those of you who remember the old Sidney bank, Bert Fairbanks, Taffy Jones’ Aquacades, the Zor Grotto musicals, Logans and The Master Market, Ricey’s Gas Station, teachers Mr. Redmond, Mrs. Halbert and Emily Spinelli, the Welcome Inn and the Bi-Centennial parade...well, this show is for you!” “My Town is a Cathedral: My Memories Of Sidney” is a benefit fundraiser for Catskill Area Hospice. Tickets may be purchased at The Green Toad Book Store on Main Street in Oneonta, or online at www. oneontatheatre.com. “On the heels of last year’s sell out show in Franklin, I hope that lots of folks from Sidney will make it up to the glorious old Oneonta Theatre for my show,” D’Imperio said. “It is a fun evening of memories and laughs and I am sure that I will mention something that almost everybody will remember. It really is a special evening.” Chuck is the son of Kate D’Imperio, of Sidney, and is a graduate of Sidney High School, 1967. He was inducted into the Sidney Alumni Wall of Fame in 2009 for “Excellence in Broadcasting.” He can be heard daily on WDOS Radio in Oneonta.

The show is filled with snappy tunes and witty jokes. The NY Times said of Nunsense, it is a hail of fun and frolic. With songs, jokes and nuns, who can go wrong?

Senate Passes Act to Boost Local Agricultural Purchases ALBANY - The New York State Senate recently passed the “Buy from the Backyard Act” to promote the purchase of food grown or produced locally. The bill (S.2468), sponsored by Senator Thomas Libous (R-CI, Binghamton), requires state agencies with food contracts to buy at least 20 percent of their food from New York sources. “If every household in New York spent just $15 per week on local food, we could pump $5.5 billion into New York State’s economy,” Senator Tom Libous said. “And that’s just households. This bill will help state agencies join in supporting our farmers and stimulating the economy. We’re investing taxpayer dollars right back into our state.” “Buying local isn’t just a catchphrase – it is a sensible and healthy act that supports hardworking New Yorkers,” Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos said. “This bill demonstrates New York State’s commitment to the quality produce and other farm offerings that are plentiful across the state and will bolster our agricultural industry and overall economy.” The bill expands upon an existing law, which creates a program that encourages the purchase of local food products by State agencies. Mental health facilities, prisons, universities and state institutions that have food contracts would be required to purchase at least 20 percent that is grown, produced, harvested or processed in New York State. The bill expands upon Senator Libous’s Buy From the Backyard initiative in Broome, Tioga, and Chenango counties (www. BuyFromTheBackyard.com), which promotes buying local among consumers and encourages investments in New York agriculture. The bill has been sent to the Assembly.

A CHEERFUL PROSPECT BY AMY MARSLAND A while back we looked at the question of whether an ugly man can be elected president. Now we see, in the Weiner case, that a good-looking man cannot be either if he is overexposed. But to more serious matters. Do you know the signs of stroke? A correspondent tells us that if you guess a friend or family member may have had a stroke, you can test by using the STR method: ask him or her to smile, talk (a simple sentence) or raise their arms over their head. And now there is a new method: ask then to stick out their tongue. If it comes out crooked, or they fail any of the other tests, get them straight to the hospital. Treatment in the first three hours can ensure a complete recovery. In fact, the risk of stroke is much higher than I thought it was: over a lifetime, it happens to 1 out of 28 people. Since you probably have that many friends and relatives, there is a good chance that knowing these signs will save the life of one of them. This is three times the risk of being shot, which is also higher than I would have guessed: 1 out of 306 people will suffer a gunshot wound in the course of a lifetime. Risk statistics are very curious. Your risk of being in an airplane crash in the course of a year is very low: on the average, only 48 people go that way; however, as I think I have pointed out before, car crashes kill about 30,000 drivers and passengers annually. When everybody avoided plane travel if they could after 9/11, nobody died in an air crash in the following year, but there were 1,600 more deaths than normal on the road. And yet we all, myself included, are more afraid of flying than we are of driving. In a way, this is quite normal. When we fly, we have no control; we put our safety in the hands of the pilot. In a car, even as a passenger, we feel we do have some control and can avoid danger either by skillful driving or by a quick warning to the driver. There are many other circumstances where our fear is not commensurate with the actual danger we face. Your risk of being attacked by a shark is about 1 in 4 million, while your risk of being killed as the result of a fall is 1 in 171. But which, when you think about it, scares you more? No question. Regardless of the chance of their happening, there are some deaths so bad we don’t even like to expose ourselves to them. If you are at the beach and someone has recently been attacked by a shark, you won’t even go in the water. But climbing a ladder to change a bulb doesn’t even give you a qualm. There are other discrepancies in our reactions. Even a very small earthquake will send people rushing terrified into the streets, but your chances of dying in a quake are very small, about 1 in 150,000. But when you’re near the water, whether it’s a beach without sharks or the hotel pool, you go swimming with laughter although your chance of drowning is about 100 times higher. Probably, again, your sense of not being in control makes a big difference to the way you feel. But maybe you should bear the difference in mind when you go and swim at any of the state parks around here this summer. And speaking of sharks, did you know that they yawn, just like us? And just like us, if one shark in the school does, they all start to yawn. Nobody knows why we yawn, or what it is for, but not only sharks but all vertebrates do…except the giraffe, I think possibly because if he did, he would get a crick in the neck.

Decker, Afton Town & Village Historian June 2011 On Thursday I took Mick and Mollie McClain to their dentist in Endicott. Mollie, who has a physical disabilty, seldom gets out from her second floor apartment. On the way to the View over Afton looking west, showing cultivated hill. Picture from appointment, Town Historian. she commented so enthusiastically about the landscape at this time of year. The grass is bright green and the trees have an especially luxuriant growth of leaves. The wild caraway is in full bloom, as is the birdsfoot trefoil and the vetch along the shoulders of the highway. It was a delight for me to hear her comments and it made me appreciate all the more this beautiful area in which we live. On Saturday I was a speaker at the Clear Water program at Foster Park. I was asked to talk about the Susquehanna Valley in the early days of settlement. Two accounts mention the burning of level lands by the Indians to clear them for planting crops. Richard Smith travelled the valley in 1769 and actually saw the Indians setting fires. Some of the uplands had also been burned over. Revolutionary War soldiers also mention this burning as they descended the river with General Clinton’s expedition in 1779. When the white men came to settle the valley after the Revolutionary War, they found rich farmlands, some of which had been cleared by the Indians, and sturdy forests. One of the first sources of income was from the logs and sawed timber which they floated as rafts down the Susquehanna. Josiah Stowell had one of the first saw mills in town and was active in this business. The land could be cleared for crops and pastures as a result. The landscape became much barer than before. On both sides of the river in Afton lands were mostly converted from woodlands to fields and pastures. In the 1930s and 1940s, when mechanized equipment came into general use, the hilltops and hillsides were often poorly drained and of poorer soil. They were abandoned as farmland. Some of these lands were purchased and reforested by the state, using the Civilian Conservation Corps in the process. Old picture postcards of Afton show completely open hills above the village where meadows, grain fields, and pastures can be identified. Today the same area is almost completely covered with trees, with an occasional house visible. Erna Morgan McReynolds — named one of Barron’s Top 100 Women Financial Advisors for 2011.

Tri-Town News — Thursday, June 23, 2011 — 7 TRI-TOWN’S OWN STIMULUS PLAN WELLS BRIDGE NEWS ALICE HARAGEONES 988-6641 BY JOAN DICHIARA Ways to Save Money Always compare prices for books, clothes and anything you might want to buy but don’t waste time and money by trying to find the lowest price. You can go on line and check websites such as pricewatch.com and shopping.com before you go to the stores. If you don’t have a computer give a call to various stores to check prices. It is also time to check your cell phone bill to see if there are any features that you are not currently using and could drop so your bill could be cheaper. Or maybe your cell phone company is offering a better plan than the one you have now. When you go to the dentist and you are not offered a free toothbrush, toothpaste or floss, ask as your dentist if he has any samples or even coupons. When you go to your physician and he or she writes you a prescription, ask your doctor if he has some samples of the medication. Often doctors have extras. Ever walk down the aisle in a store and find the item you wanted to purchase is out of stock? Go to the customer service counter and ask for a rain check. Rain checks are usually good for at least 30 days in most stores. Many owners overfeed their animals. You should consult with your vet about how much you feed your dog or cat. If you feed your animal a smaller amount it can improve your pet’s health and also save you money. I used to feed our cat, Princess, a whole can of cat food every night and she is now con- tributing by eating less, staying healthy and helping me save a little bit of money. Princess gets a half a can of cat food every night Monday through Saturday and her treat on Sunday is a full can. She also gets dry food in the morning. If one of your appliances is not energy efficient and needs replacing and you can afford to do it, pick the appliance that is Energy Star Certified, which mean it is energy efficient. Wash only full loads of clothes and dishes. Don’t use hot water to wash clothes and consider line drying. This is the perfect time in the warm weather to hang out your clothes on a clothes line. Turn off lights, computers, TVs and appliances when not in use as this will save energy and money. Keep your refrigerator and freezer full so it runs more efficiently. Also replace your light bulbs with incandescent light bulbs as they last 10 times longer than regular light bulbs Fourth Of July Are you having a family get together and barbecuing for the Fourth of July. Don’t forget to have your guest bring a dish to pass so it will lighten the work you have to do and save you some money also. Enjoy your holiday and stay safe. Congratulations to all our area high school graduates who graduated this past week end. Good luck in your future endeavors. If you have any money saving tips or ideas please email me at [email protected]. Till next time. Have a great week and Happy Fourth of July. Please do not drink and drive.

UNADILLA FARMERS’ MARKET, located on Main St. next to Panni’s Pizzeria and Restaurant, is open every Thursday with farm fresh foods. Food Stamps Can Be Used At Unadilla Farmers’ Market UNADILLA - Those with food stamp benefits are now able to use their food stamp (EBT) card at the Unadilla Farmers’ Market. This electronic transaction is made possible through wireless technology which is set up at the market manager’s booth. Upon arrival to the market, food stamp customers can use their card to purchase $1 wooden tokens. These tokens then function as cash within the market. At the market, food stamp customers are able to purchase foodstamp authorized goods such as: fruits and vegetables, meats, fish, poultry, dairy, maple syrup and other maple products, honey, breads, baked goods, jams and jellies, processed foods and even seeds and plants which produce food. For every $5 in tokens purchased, food stamp customers will receive a $2 Fresh Check coupon to spend at the Market. “When it comes to food stamp customers, we’re trying to emphasize that their benefits can go farther than they may have thought at the farmers market. Not only are they able to obtain farm-fresh food, they have access to vendors and farmers who are ready and willing to share advice, tips and recipes,” says Diane Eggert, Executive Director of the Farmers Market Federation of NY. It’s not just food stamp customers who are benefiting from the ability to use their cards at the Unadilla Farmers’ Market. Farmers and vendors are benefiting from the increased sales and traffic at the market, as they are able to redeem the tokens for a 100% cash exchange. “This is a positive, win-win situation for everyone involved in the Unadilla Farmers’ Market – both the vendors and the food stamp customers. Now, food stamp customers have access to the freshest, healthiest produce and products that our area has to offer,” says Ed Gifford, market manager of the Unadilla Farmers’ Market.

Patients will benefit from this latest technology in the following ways: minimized radiation exposure, decreased time for testing for patients who have difficulty remaining still or holding their breath, especially younger people, and increased comfort for patients with chronic medical conditions who require frequent CT imaging. Tri-Town Regional Hospital CEO Dan Ayres commented, “This significant capital investment is a continued commitment to provide the tri-town area with the best health care possible with the newest technologies.” This CT unit features a radiation reduction package that can provide quality images while reducing the radiation exposure up to 40 percent. Lower radiation exposure is significantly important for children and those who may require multiple scans including cancer patients. The enhanced imaging provides quality examinations and the NEW CT SCANNER is now available at the Tri-Town Regional Hospital. In the photo with the scanner are Tri-Town Regional Hospital CEO Dan Ayres and Peter Burghardt, digital imaging manager. faster speed will benefit older and other high-risk patients as well. Patients only have to hold their breath briefly, which Richard W. Wakeman, Inc. Commercial Construction Oil & Stone Driveways Richard W. Wakeman LLC Authorized Butler Building Dealer SIDNEY • 607-369-5601 [email protected] means easier exams for older adults, people with breathing problems, and those not able to remain in one position for long periods of time. The new CT scanner will prove vital to TRH’s ability to continue to provide the best possible emergency, preventive and outpatient health care to the patients we serve.
