Sidney and Unatego School Districts
Are Looking at Shared Services Study
THE THIRD BRIDGE across the Susquehanna River is pictured here. The current
bridge is the 6th one to span the river at Bainbridge.
Bainbridge Continues With Plans to
Celebrate Historic Name Change
BAINBRIDGE - Bainbridge is preparing for the
200th Anniversary of the
change of name from Jericho
to Bainbridge on June 1. Continuing a review of the past
history of the town we look at
events that happened between
1834 and 1853.
A newspaper, The Bainbridge Eagle, began a weekly
publication in 1845 and there
was a newspaper published in
Bainbridge until 1930.
This was the age of experiment and the steamboat Enterprise set out on the Susquehanna River on Aug. 14, 1850
on an excursion to Corbin’s
Mills and back for a fare of 25
cents each way. The hope was
to carry goods to Lanesboro,
Pa. where the Erie Railroad
was located. Unfortunately it
had difficulty navigating over
the shallows in the river and
the plan was abandoned.
Crossing the Susquehanna
River in Bainbridge has long
been a challenge. In 1852 the
third bridge over the river was
constructed. It was two lanes
wide and covered. It was a toll
bridge and stood until 1899
when spring floods collapsed
part of the bridge.
Travel was still not easy
and in 1826 a house was constructed on the turnpike west
of Bainbridge which served as
a tavern. On the second floor
was a ballroom. By taking a
stagecoach on this “modern”
road in 1840 one could travel
from Albany to Ithaca in only
three days!
Schools were being built
and the first successful schools
in Bainbridge were “select
schools” where a modest tuition was charged. The house
at 3 South Main Street was a
select school.

Looking Back
at 2013
We are continuing our review of examples of life in our area. They may
not always be the most important happenings - as that is often an individual
viewpoint - but they represent the fabric that makes up life in our tri-town
communities.

SIDNEY - In the changing landscape of education,
schools continuously look to
find ways to save. At the same
time, they still have to find
ways to give students the best
opportunities possible.
The Sidney and Unatego
Central school districts have
taken the initial steps in possibly sharing services. A study
was completed by Alan Pole
and Jessica Cohen, of the Syracuse-based educational firm
Castallo and Silky.
Pole is a former DelawareChenango-Madison-Otsego
BOCES Superintendent, serving the district for 18 years.
Cohen is a former OnondagaCortland-Madison
BOCES
Superintendent, serving that
district for 10 years. The two
presented the study to a joint
session of the board of educations of each school on Dec.
16 at Sidney High School.
The idea for this study
started in February, 2013,
when Sidney Superintendent
Bill Christensen and Unatego
Superintendent Charles Molloy had a series of discussions
about sharing programs, services and equipment. In April,
2013, Castallo and Silky was
brought on to conduct the
study and given a deadline of
mid-November to complete
it. The focus was centered on
preserving and enhancing the
quality of educational opportunities for students of both
schools, in a cost-effective
manner. That meant determining how it could be accomplished by providing more for
students at the same or reduced
cost, yet still maintaining it at
the same or higher level.
One note in the study to
consider is its one for shared
services, not a merger. Merger
studies take upward of 18-24
months and would involve
Unadilla GOP

Thurs., Jan. 23
UNADILLA - A Republican Caucus for the Village
of Unadilla will be held on
Thursday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m.
at the Unadilla Firehouse, 77

The caucus is being held to
nominate candidates to run for
the three positions open in the
March 18 village election. The
two-year mayor’s seat and
two, two-year trustee seats are
open.
If you are a registered Republican and have an interest in running for an office
or would like to take part in
the caucus, you are asked to
attend.
Town Board
To Hold Special
Meeting Jan. 16

Town Board will hold a special meeting on Thursday, Jan.

many more community members. A shared services setup
allows school districts to
remain intact and keep individual identities. The study
also is giving considerations
for future discussions, not
recommendations.
“With financial burdens and
declining enrollment, we have
to look at ideas that will help
us with long-term sustainability,” Christensen said. “Sharing
programs will be something
we must do in order to sustain
the programs we already have.
It makes sense for us to look at
this with Unatego to see if we
can help our students and our
districts.”
Shrinking enrollment is a
large factor for thinking about
sharing services. Unatego is
projected to continue a declining trend over the next seven
years. Sidney is actually pro-
jected to grow over the same
period, but in the overall timeframe of the 12-year period in
the study, Sidney will have a
lowered enrollment.
Financially, the shared services would help both schools
save money. Some of the
services in the study include
sharing a superintendent, facilities, a transportation manager and athletics.
Part of the study showed
where each school could potentially save several hundred
thousand dollars by sharing a
superintendent, business offices, a curriculum coordinator, food service management,
a supervisor of buildings and
grounds, a transportation supervisor and a special education supervisor. The savings,
the study showed, would potentially be nearly $440,000
for Sidney and about $190,000

Though the finances are
something to heavily consider,
the students in each district are
the important factor. By sharing services, classes and other
items, students will have the
opportunity to select different
subjects they might not be able
to get at one school. Instead of
worrying about cutting classes,
there’s the chance to expand
educational opportunities.
“I wonder if we’re not missing out on some wonderful
opportunities for the kids?”
Molloy said. “Our two schools
have some great things going
on. If there’s a chance for us
to be able to give more to our
students, why wouldn’t we
consider it?”
The services that could be
shared go deep and can include distance learning between the districts, different
classroom choices and, possibly, athletics.
Should the schools decide
to share services, it won’t be
easy. There are obstacles to
overcome, such as bell schedules and the logistics of moving students from one school
to another.
“Nothing is going to be
easy,” Pole said. “Some of
these changes are personal and
some people will be against
all of it. It’s personal. We’re
talking about people and their
jobs… everybody gives up
a little something when you
share.”
For the next step, Christensen and Molloy will be
meeting to discuss the study
more in-depth. They will then
go back to their boards and
present what they feel is the
best way to proceed.
“We’re doing our due diligence with this,” Christensen
said. “If this can benefit each
district and our students, it’s
something we should look
closely at and see if it’s feasible for us to do.”

2013 Was An Amazing Year
For the Local Toys For Tots
By Roger Barnhart-Local Coordinator
Chenango County Toys for Tots
BAINBRIDGE - 2013What an amazing year for
Toys for Tots.
Please let me, and the committee, start by saying “Thank
You” to everyone who helped
Chenango County Toys for
Tots this past Christmas Season. What started to be a “typical’ campaign, if there ever is
such a thing, ended up being
an amazing thing that showed
the true Spirit of Christmas.
The Spirit of giving to others at their time of need is
truly awesome. You may have
heard me on WCDO saying
this before, but the local campaign of Toys for Tots is really
a community campaign. We
may have people working to
bring the energy together, but
success has to come from a
community.
First, thank you to the committee of volunteers who work
year-round. Thank you to the
volunteers who worked on
distributing the toys. Thank
you to the people who worked
hard at fundraising throughout
the year. Thank you to those
volunteers who spent hours on
many days shopping for toys.
From golf tournaments in
Norwich, to Rock-in-the-Park
in Bainbridge, to a radio campaign in Sidney, we have people working countless hours
year round on our campaign.
Thank you.
In 2013 we had the families and guardians of 1,844
children come to us asking
for help putting a new toy
under the Christmas tree on
Christmas day. These children
are not only from Chenango
County, but also from Otsego,
Delaware, Broome, and Madison Counties. Many of these
children would not have anything else under the tree except for your generosity.
I would like to send a special thank you to a few people
and companies for your generosity. You are the embodiment
of a community helping your
neighbors. Kmart in Sidney

Also, thank you to the Norwich and Bainbridge Fire Departments for moving toys for

who had their most successful
‘Casual for a Cause” fundraiser; individuals who passed

Much of this would not
have happened without the
overwhelming support of
WCDO Radio. They have
been a supporter for years,
but this year the station took
it upon themselves to get the
word out that our campaign
was in need. While I was still
sifting through records and
contacting our people about
the fire-WCDO was on the air
letting our communities know
how they could help us by
setting up a donation button
on their website, taking donations at the station, and allowing Christmas to stay alive in
our area. Craig, Joe, Rob and

State of the State Focuses on Tax-Breaks and Job Creation.
I’m Still Focused on the
Southern Tier.
Property tax cuts, business
tax cuts, local government
consolidation efforts and improving our education system are four key points from
Governor Cuomo’s State of
the State that are very important to me and to the folks I
represent.
His plan builds on our work
to cut taxes, attract new jobs
and improve our education
system.
First and foremost is tax relief. Our homeowners pay the
highest property taxes in the
country. We’ve made progress
to keep more money in the
pockets of taxpayers, but we
still have more to do.
And the Southern Tier needs
more jobs, period.
Cutting taxes for manufacturers to zero, cutting red tape
and reforming corporate tax
structure immediately makes
New York more competitive
and business friendly. When
the Governor said, “You can’t

beat zero, my friend, and this
is a competition,” he was
right.
We can cut taxes because
we’ve kept spending under
control in Albany. We need
to keep that up by enacting a
permanent spending cap and
use the savings for ongoing
tax relief for hard-working
families.
The Governor’s plan is a
good blueprint, but now we
have to do the work. I look
forward to working with the
Governor in the coming weeks
toward passing the fourth early, on-time State Budget in a
row – something that hasn’t
happened in many years.
But my focus is still on the
people of my district.
While it wasn’t mentioned
in his address, my top priority
is still fighting to keep the 600
plus jobs at the Broome Developmental Center safe while
preventing fragile and potentially dangerous individuals
from being pushed out into the
community.

I am also on board with the
governor’s plans for an agriculture summit and continued
emphasis on upstate tourism
initiatives. These are both vital
sectors of our local economy
and, in recent years, a number of steps have been taken
in Albany to help reinvigorate
both. I will keep the focus on
both and ensure that the state
continues to do all that is necessary to maximize our full
potential in these areas.
Of course, as is often said

Overall, we start 2014 from

have a positive track record
of working cooperatively, producing three straight on-time
budgets, a streak I will work

maintaining our momentum

A CHEERFUL
PROSPECT

Winter Activities
So, now we enter onto the
backside of winter, tediously
plodding forward, as the longing for spring increases bit by
bit. SAD (seasonal affective
disorder) rears its grey head.
Different people have different techniques for combating
this.
Some are “snow-birds” and
take flight either before or after Christmas, depending on
whether they like a little snow
with their Christmas lights.
The older one gets, the more
distressing symptoms winter
brings on, like increased tension in neck, shoulders and
arms (although, I’ve heard
some young people recently
complain of the same thing).
This comes from resisting the
cold subconsciously. Also, arthritis and “nerves,” insomnia
and overall discomfort flare
up, also flu and pneumonia.
One is more likely, statistically, to die in winter, despite
central heating and vitamins,
so snow-birding, if one can
afford it, seems a reasonable
response.
Others get outside as much
as they can, diving into winter
sports or winter chores, like
shoveling, salting, decorating
(or de-decorating). Interestingly enough, recently, there
was an article on what good
exercise snow shoveling is;
driveway and sidewalk clearing equal 45 minutes on a
treadmill. This is a startling
change from previous years
where the media emphasis has
mainly been about how unusual exertion in the snow department will very likely kill you.
Bird lovers slog around in
the snow, putting out birdseed
in hopes of seeing a flame-red
cardinal or a slate grey junco.
For those who burn wood,
there are sawing, chopping
and carting of wood to be
done. February, they say, is
optimal for pruning fruit trees
and shrubs, so gardeners have
an excuse to get some fresh
air. All this arm exercise is
especially good for us, giving
the heart a chance to improve
its efficiency. (You may remember a study years ago that
pointed out that symphony
conductors tend to be the longest living of any profession.)
In addition, there is something
particularly invigorating about
winter air; perhaps it is the
clear coldness of it, or perhaps
it is simply the contrast between that and the stale air inside, staler than 100 years ago,
thanks to improved insulation
and better storm windows.
Our ancestors, huddling
by the fire to escape the everpresent drafts, used the winter months for repair of tools
and harnesses, for story-telling, mending, knitting and
other contemplative activities,
which, in their own way, were
a kind of self-repair. They were
also a preparation for the renewed activity that spring and
summer bring. For those of us
of Northern blood, it may be
a rhythm built into our genes,
and our SAD may be more a
result of pushing ourselves
to maintain the same level of
productivity that we manage
without pushing in the brighter months. It is possibly good
for us to consider doing some
of the same kinds of things
– reordering the house, packing up stuff for the coming
rummage sale, watching old
movies, reading much loved
books, drinking something hot
and sweet, cocooning (or indulging) – and not feel guilty
about it.

Cold Weather
How about that cold weather
we had last week, how many
problems did it create for everyone? Here on the farm it
seemed that everything that
could freeze in the barn did.
Even with the heater in the
milk house the water still got
frozen. It took a while but soon
we could get the calves fed using some water from the house.
When the water thawed in the
milk house, later we discovered
the water buckets for the heifers
were frozen. After some time
thawing some lines we turned it
back on and found many buckets were bursting. Harold and
I got some parts and the fun
began, one broken part after
another. Each time they thought
it was fixed there was another
pipe that burst wide open,
which was a surprise to Harold. There was ice everywhere
and it created quite a problem
with many hours to fix. Wow,
now the heifers have water and
it seems to be warming up and
everyone here is much happier.
The cold created many problems trying to get the milkers
in the parlor thawed and ready
for the milking process. There
was much ice and thawing the
milkers took a lot of time. The
schools were closed and kids
helped get the milkers ready
and thawed out with much patience. Let’s hope the cold stays
away for quite a while.

JANUARY 2014
In my younger days I did a lot of
long distance travel to visit relatives
and friends who lived in different
states. Sometimes I drove, but usually I flew and then rented a car.
One of my memorable trips was to
Berkeley, Ca., where I visited Stan
Artz and his wife. Stan had worked
for me one summer while a Cornell
student. We visited campus buildings
where he was doing post-graduate
work. In one of them, Stan and I were
selected to ring the chimes. I still have
the certificate awarded to us. They
took me on an all day trip to Yosemite
National Park, a great experience.
I have since visited them at Davis,
Stan Artz and Charles Decker, overlooking the
where Stan is a college teacher.

ited Jim and Janice Evans in Santa
Rosa. I had previously visited them in
Colorado. I had met Janice while I was taking an evening German course at Binghamton Central High
School. We became friends and she and her husband often invited me to their home in Endwell. Both
are now dead, but I hear from their daughter each Christmas.
In South Pasadena, Ca., was the residence of Constantine and Doris Gertmenian, parents of Jim
Gertmenian, who was minister of the Afton Presbyterian Church in the 1970’s. Mr. Gertmenian owned
an oriental rug store as his father had when he came to Binghamton from Armenia. He was a refugee
from the campaign of the Turks to wipe out the Armenian population, beginning in 1894 and continuing
to W.W.I. During my short stay there, they gave me a quick tour of the area, including the Rose Bowl.
I also visited the rug store.
My niece, Betsy Decker was married to David Rice in Colorado Springs and I attended the wedding which was at the headquarters of the Navigators, a religious organization of which they were
members. The headquarters mansion had been built by a Huntington who was a railroad builder in the
West. His family was from Oneonta where the present Huntington Library was their home.
Lisa Decker, Martin’s daughter, was married in Napa, Ca. I attended that wedding, which was held
outdoors with the white covered reception tables under trees.
Steve Decker, Lisa’s brother, was married in Calistoga, Ca., also an outdoor wedding. On Sunday
I attended the Presbyterian Church where I received special attention as many of the congregation
were attending a soccer match.

Bainbridge Celebrates Name Change
(continued from Page 1)
The congregations at Searles Hill, Turnpike, and Bush
Settlement united to form the
Union Valley Methodist Episcopal Church with the dedication of the building in 1853.
About 1860 the horse sheds
were constructed.
Large homes were the order
of the day. “The Pillars” south
of town on Route 7, was built
by Philo Kirby in 1840. He
had rafted lumber down the
river to Chesapeake Bay and
it is believed he copied some
of the Baltimore homes he
had seen when building this
house.
Orrin Jacobs built the
Greek Revival house at 51
West Main Street in 1849. He
was a shoe and harness maker
as well as a tanner. This house
was the residence of Edward
Danforth, M.DS., the author
of Stones From the Walls of
Jericho.
In 1840, J. Hunt built
the house at 85 North Main
Street. He was the man who
started The Bainbridge Eagle.
Later owners included the
Freiots and most recently the
Bensons.
One of the longest practicing physicians in Bainbridge
was Dr. Robert D. L. Evans.
He was the son of Ansel Evans and the grandson of Henry
Evans, Jr. Following his education in Massachusetts, he
returned to Bainbridge where
he served as health officer,
a member of the Bainbridge
Board of Education, and as
chief of the Bainbridge Fire
Department. He was well
versed in the treatment of tuberculosis. He died in 1910.
This was life in Bainbridge
between 1834 and 1853. There
will be presentation boards
with some pictures on them
placed first at SFCU, the Bainbridge Jr./Sr. High School,
then at Greenlawn School,
Scoville-Meno, the Bainbridge
Village Library, and finally in
the NBT window.
We are planning an alltown picnic on Sunday, June
1 in the Bainbridge Village
Park starting at 1 p.m. There
will be more information later,
but please plan to attend this
event.

A VISIT TO QUALITY HARDWOODS AND TWIN
VALLEY LLC was made by members of the Kool Kidz
4-H Club. The saw mill and lumber store is located just
outside Sidney. Mr. Decker gave members a tour of the
business and its operation. Seen on the tour was the
operation of a saw mill, wood that was drying in an open
air building, several kilns that were used to dry wood,
and lumber that was ready to ship, including to a buyer
in China. Following the tour, several of the club members selected and purchased wood for their upcoming
woodworking projects. Taking part in the tour along with
Kathy Schmidt, 4-H leader were Hannah Bonczkowski,
Ivy Stensland, Olivia Held, Fiona Held and Annika
Christensen.

THE GILBERTSVILLE KOOL KIDZ 4-H CLUB visited
the Corning Museum of Glass for their annual field trip.
On the tour of the museum the club members learned
how glass is made and shaped. A highlight of the tour
was the Hot Glass Show. The group learned that when
the glass is hot it will stick to other glass. The glassblower made a glass bowl. A special camera behind one
of the ovens allowed them to see inside the oven while
the glass was being heated. The members participated
in a glass making workshop and had the opportunity to
make an individual glass project from a choice of a flower, an ornament or a pumpkin. Participating in the trip
were Kathy Schmidt, 4-H leader; Hannah Bonczkowski,
Ivy Stensland, Elaina Palada, Ben O’Connor and Maya
Farwell. They had their photo taken in front of a tree made
out of glass balls. (Submitted by Hannah Bonczkowski,

Shirley Arlene MacPherson
UNADILLA - Shirley Arlene MacPherson, formerly of
Unadilla, passed away Nov.
12, 2013 in Woodland Hills,
Calif.
Born Shirley Arlene Macumber in Unadilla, she married Charles W. MacPherson in
1950 and the couple produced
three daughters before moving
to southern California in 1956.
Charles found employment in
the aerospace industry, while
Shirley stayed home to raise
their three daughters, and later
their son.
In 1967 the couple moved
their young family from the
Los Angeles area to Newbury
Park, where they were to remain. Shirley enjoyed her role
as wife, mother, and homemaker. She was an avid reader
and book collector, and in her
younger years enjoyed music,
swimming, drawing, painting,
bowling, dancing, dining out,
and entertaining friends. During the 1970s and 1980s Shirley found personal fulfillment
working as production lead at
the SemTech Corp. in Newbury Park, as well as a variety
of part-time jobs in the area.
By 1992 Shirley and Charles
had retired at home with their
beloved pets. The couple celebrated their 63rd wedding
anniversary on Sept. 03, 2013,
but sadly, Charles passed
away on Sept. 19. Following
her husband’s death, Shirley
suffered a brief illness and
passed away on Nov. 12. She
will always be remembered as
a loving wife and mother, for
her quick wit and sense of humor, and her exceptional holiday dinners.
Shirley is survived by her
children, Pam Fairbanks,
Oakhurst, Calif., Deb Burch,
Lake Norden, S.D., Sue Powell, Newbury Park, Calif., Rod
MacPherson, Omaha, Neb.;
and by her brother, James Macumber, Winter Haven, Fla.;
and sister, Carol Macumber,

SIDNEY - On Thursday,
Jan. 9, 2014, William “Bill”
Ray passed away after recently fighting an exhausting
battle against multiple health
issues.

family and the Sidney community where he grew up and
devoted his entire life.
Born Dec. 19, 1935 in Sidney, Bill was predeceased by

OBITUARIES
Barr, Diane (Ray) Dewey and
son-in-law Rob Dewey; brother, Edward Ray and sister-inlaw Lea Ray; grandchildren,
Koren and Elijah Barr; and a
host of nieces, nephews and
friends.
A 1954 Sidney graduate and
active alumni, Bill worked as
a toolmaker at Bendix/Amphenol Corp for 39 years, retiring in 1997. Throughout his
life Bill was an avid volunteer
and a great supporter of Sidney Warriors’ sporting events.
He could be found most nights
volunteering or cheering-on
the Sidney players of whatever sport was in season. But
by far, his first love has always
been baseball.
For decades, regardless of
weather or extenuating circumstances, Bill tirelessly
cared for Sidney’s community
baseball fields. He positively
influenced generations of
kids, as he coached the Sidney Moose Lodge 277 Little
League team for 40 years or
more (no one, including Bill,
can remember for sure when
he started).
Other accomplishments include: 40 years as treasurer
for his bowling league at 20th
Century Lanes, member of
Sidney Recreation Committee
since 1978, Veteran of the US
Air Force, Moose Club Citizen
of the Year 1991, Sidney Rotary Community Service Award
in 2007, and lifelong fan of the
Dodgers baseball and Browns
football teams.
Bill was especially proud to
have walked his daughter Diane down the isle last summer
when she married Rob Dewey.
He thoroughly enjoyed the
company of his grandsons,
Koren and Elijah Barr of
Rochester, and invited them to
spend entire summers in Sidney where Bill’s community
involvement always ensured
plenty of activities for young
people. Bill’s family is so
proud of his accomplishments,
involvement in his community
and positive influence he was
able to pass on to innumerable kids he had the honor and
pleasure of coaching all those
years.
We would like to extend
our overwhelming thanks to
everyone who played a part
in making Bill’s life fulfilling,
chaotic, enjoyable, challenging and ultimately perfect.
You are all invited to attend
calling hours at Landers Funeral Home, Sidney on Friday,
Jan. 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will be held at
the Sidney United Methodist
Church on Saturday, Jan. 18 at
11 a.m.

Methodist Church or The

local sports programs that
Bill so passionately and selflessly supported throughout
his lifetime.

New Computerized Sporting
Licensing System Is Working
ALBANY - The New York
State Department of Environmental
Conservation’s
(DEC) new computerized
sporting licensing system is
operational, allowing sportsmen and sportswomen to
conduct license transactions,
Commissioner Joe Martens
announced.
The transition of hunter, angler and trapper data required
a temporary shutdown for
sales of hunting, fishing and
trapping licenses, recreational
marine fishing registrations
and harvest game reporting.
The data transfer has been
completed and individuals
can resume normal transac-
tions and reporting on the new
system.
Individuals who were unable to report harvest data during the temporary shutdown
were given a grace period for
reporting of this data. With the
system now operational, all
harvest data that has not been
reported must be submitted by
Jan. 20, 2014.
Hunters, anglers, and trappers are able to purchase
sporting licenses, stamps and
permits: at one of the nearly
1,500 locations across New
York State; via telephone (1866-933-2257); or via the
internet at https://aca.dec.accela.com/dec/
for 66 years until his death in
2008.
Louise worked at various
jobs in Yonkers, including 10
years for the Otis Elevator
Company. In 1967 she and her
husband moved to Unadilla,
where they were to live for
the next 37 years. Since 2004
she’d lived at Sidney Senior
Village.
Louise and her husband
liked to travel and visited
every state but Hawaii. They
camped in Alaska, the Northwest Territories, Mexico and
Central America. They made
several trips to Europe, where
they met relatives on both
sides of her family. For 21
years they were winter Texans, living six months of the
year in Harlingen, in the Rio
Grande Valley, and forming
lasting friendships with other snowbirds from northern
states. While in Texas, Louise and her husband helped
transport food and clothing
to needy families in Nuevo
Progreso, Mexico and sponsored the continued schooling of two children from that
city, in a country where free
education ended at 6th grade.
Louise volunteered as a tutor in the Harlingen schools,
teaching children of Mexican immigrants to read, and
volunteered in two Harlingen
nursing homes.
Locally, she’d worked in
the cafeteria at Bendix and
was part of the original crew
of the Sidney McDonald’s.
She volunteered at the New
York State Veterans Home in
Oxford and at the former extended-care wing of The Hospital in Sidney. In the 1970s
she and her husband were
foster parents to three young
children.
She belonged to senior citizens groups in Wells Bridge,
Unadilla and Sidney, and the
United Presbyterian Church
of East Guilford.
Louise was a resource for
family history, passing along
anecdotes and memories of the
old days, of immigrants her
parents had befriended, and
of hard times and happy days
in the Depression. All her life
she’d loved singing and dancing. She had a beautiful voice.
She sang in her church choir
until infirmity kept her from
climbing to the choir loft. As
a schoolgirl she was once put
out of choir practice because
her exuberant alto voice had
led all the sopranos astray.
Not being allowed to sing, she
said, was the worst possible
punishment.
Louise liked spending time
with her friends in the tri-town
area and corresponding with
other friends across the country. Over the years she enjoyed
fishing, vegetable gardening,
card playing, bingo, and visits
to casinos. Having learned to
knit as a girl, she took pride
in her knitting and crocheting,
exhibiting her work at the Otsego County Fair, and making
sweaters, blankets, lap robes,
and other items to give as
gifts. She especially enjoyed
teaching others how to knit.
Each year she crocheted colorful mittens for every child
in the 4th-grade class taught
by her granddaughter Kathy,
and at the time of her death
had finished 12 pairs of mittens for next year’s class.
In addition to her husband;
she was predeceased by their
beloved daughter, Virginia
Louise; her sister, Wilhelmina (Siegert) Florey; and her
brother, Paul Siegert.
Survivors include her son
and daughter-in-law, Robert
Bechtold and Kim L’Heureux;
her former daughter-in-law,
Mary Jo Bechtold; four grandchildren, Katherine Bechtold,
Krista (and Mark) Soss, Eric
Bechtold (and fiancée Liwen
Chen) and Matt and Annie
Bechtold; three great-grandchildren, David Soss, Kaitlyn
Soss and Alyse Bechtold; a
brother-in-law, Richard (and
Graceann) Bechtold; and
many nieces and nephews.
Friends and family will
gather for a memorial service,
led by Pastor Patty Wolff,
at the United Presbyterian
Church of East Guilford on
Saturday, Jan. 18, at 2 p.m.
Louise had asked that, in
lieu of flowers, donations be
made in her memory to the
United Presbyterian Church
of East Guilford, P.O. Box
147, Sidney, NY 13838.

FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
A New Year of New Beginnings.
by Pastor Ernie Varga, St. Luke’s Lutheran Church
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God” John 1:1
Words, do we really ever think about the words we use as we
try to communicate with each other? Words, are power! They
can build up or they can cut down. How often do people call
someone “stupid” or say things that injure others. How we can
bully someone with our words. But we can also use our words
to build up and strengthen. Words can also be used to give confidence. So what we say and how we say it is very important.
That goes the same way with God’s Word. In the beginning
of creation God used these words to create the world and all that
is in it. God said, and it was done. God’s words are powerful
words. So it was important that the divine word should come
into our world so that he could touch our lives. Jesus as the first
18 verses state was with God in the very beginning. He was in
fact God incarnate. This is very important for us to know.
These opening words of John’s gospel identifies with creation. In the beginning… The creation story in Genesis ends
with Humankind’s fall from grace. But in that fall God brings
the word of hope to our fore parents. That he would send a savior into the world. In the divine words, John tells us that Jesus is
that word of hope for our lives. That Jesus’ birth, life, death and
resurrection are God’s saving words to us. In Jesus you and I are
made new creations of God. As we believe in him we have the
gift of eternal life. Our baptisms are God’s seal to us that we are
part of God’s family. The sting and punishment of sin no longer
has power over us.
In the divine word of God we experience God’s power in our
life. What a way to begin this New Year. To begin not on a negative note, but on the positive word of God. That each of us has
new life and hope in Jesus. That He empowers us so that we can
overcome the negativism of our world and live our live in the
New Year with the confidence of God.
Pr Ernie Varga is Pastor of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Sidney. If you do not have a church home you are personally invited
to attend one of our services. All are welcomed.

Kids Can Win DEC Camperships
Through OCCA Essay Contest
COOPERSTOWN – The
Otsego County Conservation
Association has announced
that it will send nine middle-school students to DEC
Environmental
Education
Camp next summer through a
countywide competitive essay
contest.
OCCA will reward nine
winning essayists with a
week-long stay at New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation Summer
Camp, where campers spend
their week immersed in the
natural environment and enjoy a balance of environmental education, sportsman education, and outdoor fun.
Otsego County students
ages 11-14 are invited to
compete for camperships via
the essay contest (must be
11 before Dec. 1, 2014). In
750 words or less, they are
asked to consider the question
“What does the phrase ‘think
globally, act locally’ mean to
you with regard to the environment?” and give examples
of how a person can apply this
to their everyday life.
“We’re very excited to be
able to offer our Campership
Sponsor Program for the third
straight year,” said OCCA
Executive Director Darla M.
Youngs. “There’s a growing
concern that kids today are
lacking the important connection between being outdoors
and caring for nature. Our goal
is for the essayists to have fun
with the assignment but also
to think critically about their
connection to and dependency
on the natural world.”
“Conservation efforts will
increase as kids learn to be
good stewards of the environment and begin to understand
some of the issues facing us
today – pollution, resource
depletion, solid waste management, climate change,
ecosystem destruction, and so
much more,” Youngs said.
Nine winning essays will
be chosen from participating
Otsego County schools and
Otsego County applicants at
large. The deadline for essay
submissions is Jan. 22, and
winning essays will be chosen
by Jan. 27.
“Last year, middle-school
teachers from Cooperstown,
Milford and Oneonta incorporated the essay into their lesson plans,” Youngs said. “We
hope more teachers will do the
same this year, but any Otsego
County student age 11-14 is
eligible and welcome to enter
an essay.”
Complete contest rules and
requirements are available by
e-mailing admin@occainfo.
org or by calling 547-4488.
Teachers who plan to assign
the essay to their students are
asked to contact OCCA in order to qualify as a participating school.
OCCA is a private, nonprofit environmental membership organization dedicated
to promoting the appreciation
and sustainable use of Otsego
County’s natural resources
through education, advocacy, resource management,
research, and planning. For

Deadline Is Feb. 1 to Apply
For FASNY College Aid
ALBANY - In 2011, the
Firemen’s Association of the
State of New York (FASNY)
unveiled a historic educational initiative called the
Higher Education Learning
Plan (HELP). This statewide
community college tuition
reimbursement program is
geared towards recruiting and
retaining volunteer firefighters
throughout New York. Today,
FASNY announced that the
deadline for firefighters to
apply for the Spring 2014 semester is Feb. 1.
Under FASNY HELP, an
individual who hasn’t already
achieved a college degree, or
has not taken 80 or more college credits, is eligible for up
to 100% tuition reimbursement. The reimbursement is in
exchange for maintaining good
grades and fulfilling service
requirements in one of New
York’s volunteer fire companies. There is no restriction on
the type of academic course(s)
that the HELP student-volunteer can pursue, either on a
full-time or part-time basis.
Recently, FASNY HELP has
been expanded to cover online
courses taken through Empire
State College.
FASNY HELP funds can
be utilized for tuition costs
incurred in the fall and spring
semesters. Eligible studentvolunteers must maintain acceptable levels of training
and volunteer activity while
attending school and fulfill
a service requirement after
they complete their course of
study. They must attend the
closest community college or
one within a 50-mile radius of
their residence. Empire State
College’s inclusion in the program has expanded students’
options.
Due to a variety of factors,
many volunteer fire departments are experiencing the
need to recruit and retain more
members. Tuition reimbursement can be an effective incentive for people to volunteer
in their local community. The

Free Income Tax Preparation
Available in Chenango Co.
NORWICH - Avoid the high
fees of a commercial tax preparer. If you are a Chenango
County resident who earned
less than $51,000 this tax year,
you may qualify to have your
tax preparation done free of
charge. Trained community
volunteers can help you with
special credits, such as Earned
Income Tax Credit (EITC),
Child Tax Credit, and Credit for
the Elderly for which you may
qualify. Easy electronic filing
puts your refund in your hands
in two weeks!
Many people will qualify for
the first time this year due to
economic changes in their income or changes in their marital
or parental statuses according to
the IRS. The agency estimates
four out of five eligible workers
currently claim their EITC. In
2013, hundreds of families/individuals took advantage of this
program, and had their income
taxes prepared by IRS-certified
volunteers. More than $1.65
million in tax returns were refunded to the local communi-
ties, with nearly two-thirds
coming from the EITC.
To help preparers, either volunteer or paid, accurately determine EITC eligibility and prepare returns, individuals should
bring:
Photo proof of identification
Social Security cards for
themselves, their spouse and
all dependents or Social Security number verification letters
issued by the Social Security
Administration
Birth dates for all persons
listed on the tax return
Wage and earning statement(s)
Forms W-2, W-2G, and 1099-R,
from all employers
Interest and dividend statements from banks (Forms
1099)
Copies of their prior year
federal and state returns, if
available
Bank routing and account
numbers for direct deposit of
their refunds
Other relevant information
about income and expenses
Amounts paid for day care,
if applicable, and the day care
provider’s identifying number.
Form 1099-G, if applicable
Both spouses must be present
to sign joint returns.
Daytime, evening and weekend appointments are available
Tuesdays through Saturdays
from the end of January through
the beginning of April at locations throughout Chenango
County. Before calling for an
appointment, please be sure you
have all of your tax documents
and information available for
review.
In Chenango County, appointments will be available at
Cornell Cooperative Extension
in Norwich. To arrange an appointment please call Cornell
Cooperative Extension at 3345841 ext. 11.
If you are a senior citizen
60+, you are eligible for free
tax return preparation regardless of income. For an appointment, please call Chenango
County Area Agency on Aging
at 337-1770.
