Frack ban angers Carlisle
But edgy meeting may result in compromise
By Jim Poole
Despite an angry, shouting
match of a meeting, Carlisle
may eventually enact a ban on
hydrofracking.
The pro- and anti-ban sides
are looking to meet privately
to resolve dif ferences in
Carlisle’s proposed law that the
town board refused to consider
last Wednesday night.
“This is not going to go
away,” Councilman David
Laraway said afterwards, referring to the crowd of ban supporters at the meeting.
“Let’s get a couple of people
who are for it, a couple of people
against it, and hash it out.”
That olive branch came after
Wednesday’s meeting, when
the pro-ban Carlisle Concerned
Citizens presented a sur vey
showing that most respondents
favored a fracking ban.
The poll went to every active Carlisle voter––906 of
them––and 400 were returned. Seventy-three percent
favored the ban.
The Citizens hoped the town
board would reconsider the

Bargains at land auction
By Jim Poole
Schoharie County’s annual
win-win sale will be this Saturday.
It’s the yearly auction of
county-owned proper ties,
where buyers can get good
deals and the county puts land
back on the tax roll.
“There are some great bargains to be had, and these can
become productive properties
again,” said county Treasurer
Bill Cherry.
Mr. Cherry will auction 51
parcels––mostly houses and
vacant land––when the sale
starts at 10am in front of the
County Of fice Building in
Schoharie.
The county is selling the
properties because of unpaid
taxes, and “they’ll be free and
clear of all liens, delinquent
taxes, mortgages, everything,”
Mr. Cherry said.
“It’s as if the county was getting rid of a desk or a used
truck.”
Mr. Cherry outlined what he
believes are a few of the top
properties:
•48 acres on Zach Hill Road
in Broome. With woods and
fields, it also has part of an old
apple orchard. “It’s a nice spot
with beautiful views,” Mr.
Cherry said.
•Two-family home on Elm
Street, Cobleskill. It’s directly
across from CobleskillRichmondville’s
Golding
School.
•Colonial farmhouse on 7.5
acres on Blackberry Street in
Gilboa. The property is sur-
rounded by New York City
easements, so construction
nearby is unlikely. “It’s a
quaint r ural setting,” Mr.
Cherry said.
•Two-family home on Cliff
Street in Middleburgh.
•Nine acres and a well-kept
cabin on Seven Ponds Road in
Summit.
A catalog produced by the
county––and available at Mr.
Cherry’s office in Schoharie–
–lists market values for the
properties.
The 48 acres in Broome, for
instance, have an estimated
market value of $68,000. Mr.
Cherr y said, however, that
most properties will go for 60
to 70 percent of their market
value.
So the Broome piece might
go for $35,000 or $40,000, he
said.
Mr. Cher r y and Kathy
Parker of his office, along with
Director of Real Property Tax
Ser vices Margie Troidl and
technician Susan Makely estimated what the auction will
bring in.
That figure––the sale of all
the properties––is $597,100.
The county has lost or absorbed $462,420 in taxes on the
properties. It’s possible that the
county could not only recoup
the lost taxes but gain about
$134,000, Mr. Cherry said.
Bidders must submit a $500
bank check when they register for the auction. The $500
will go towards a down payment
if they’re successful bidders or
will be returned if they’re not.
ban councilmen rejected in
Januar y.
“It’s a mandate. The ban
should be reconsidered,” said
Mick Bello of the Citizens. “I
believe the people spoke.”
Councilman Bob Smith argued that residents aren’t wellinformed about the ban and
fracking.
“You’re spreading anxiety
where it doesn’t exist,” Mr.
Smith said. “There’s no gas
here, but you don’t want to
believe it.”
“Three-fourths of the people
who voted for you disagree
with what you’re saying,” fired
back Kurt Pelton of the Citizens.
Offering that he suppor ts
“the exploration for gas,” resident Mac Holmes said he didn’t
believe fracking would come to
Carlisle.
“This issue is personal,” Mr.
Pelton answered. “If you don’t
think fracking is coming here,
what’s the harm in passing the
ban?”
Councilmen Smith and
Laraway responded that a ban
takes away or restricts property
rights, and Councilman Kevin
Sisson said he had a list of specific objections to the ban.
“If we were assured it
wouldn’t affect farming or property rights in any way whatsoever. . .” Mr. Laraway said.
As the board resisted reconsidering the ban, the audience
grew increasingly frustrated.
Many believe that the Citizens’ survey accurately reflects
that most support the ban.
“We elected you to work for
us,” Dave Empie told councilmen. “You’re supposed to be
working for us.”
“Right now, you’re not listening to your constituents,”
added one woman.
‘
This board gave
birth to this law.
If you don’t like
it, change it. I’m
sick of hearing
about how you
don’t like this
law.
—Dick Grace
’
Resident Dick Grace reminded board members that
they commissioned attorney
and anti-fracking expert David
Slottje to write the law.
“This board gave birth to
this law,” Mr. Grace said. “If
you don’t like it, change it. I’m
sick of hearing about how you
don’t like this law.”
Councilmen refused to reconsider the ban––or even
raise a motion to reconsider it–
–and angr y and grumbling
Citizens left the meeting.
A few days later, however,
both sides had calmed down
and were talking about getting together.
“We’ve all been at that meeting too many times,” said Mr.
Pelton,
refer ring
to
Wednesday’s confrontation
and earlier ones.
“We need a smaller group to
talk about this.”
Mr. Laraway agreed, suggesting that he and Mr. Sisson
meet with Mr. Pelton and other
pro-ban reps privately.
“And then we come back to
the board and say, ‘This is
what we agree on,’ ” Mr.
Laraway said.
“Ever ybody wins something, everybody loses something.”
Win $10
Lindsay’s a $10 winner
Harold Lindsay of Summit picked up a quick 10 bucks in
the Times-Journal’s Win $10 contest last week.
Mr. Lindsay correctly answered last week’s news questions:
Who was the outstanding female athlete at the MarshGalotta track meet, what’s the name of Amy McCann’s new
business, and how much money did the CROP Walk raise.
The correct answers were Olivia Hamm, 560 Salon and
Spa, and $6,931.15.
Mr. Lindsay won after his entry slip was drawn from last
week’s entries.
The Win $10 questions this week:
1.
Who’s performing at the Middleburgh Library May
22?
2.
What Cobleskill-Richmondville student did a presentation on the atomic bomb?
3.
What Schoharie pitcher threw a shutout last week?
Rules and a Win $10 entry form are on page 6.
TV turnoff
Public rips Time-Warner over prices, service
By Patsy Nicosia
No one had anything good
to say about Time-Warner at a
hearing on the cable TV,
internet, and phone provider
Monday in Cobleskill.
Speaker after speaker criticized poor service, empty promises, and ridiculous rates at a
hearing held as part of franchise contract negotiations.
Schoharie County municipalities’ 10-year contract with
Time-Warner is expiring and a
committee of local volunteers
and FSI Municipal Consultants
hopes to use the complaints
gathered at hearings like
Monday’s to get a better deal
in the next contract.
Kathleen Johnson called getting her mother’s Time-Warner
ser vice transferred from one
home to another after she
moved a nightmare.
Over the course of nine days,

85-year-old mother’s email service back.
“Every time I called, I talked
to a dif ferent person,” Ms.
Johnson said. “Ever y time I
called, I got a different story—
22 different stories.”
Ms. Johnson, a village
trustee, has also been working
on Time-Warner ser vices for
the village and the Town of
Cobleskill, both of which
switched to Time-Warner in
Januar y.
Ms. Johnson said she’s been
unsuccessful in getting billing
issues resolved, in part because
every time she calls, Cobleskill
has a new account representative.
And though the latest one
promised there would be no issues with getting rid of an old
account set up under a previous administration, when Ms.
Johnson told Time-Warner to
go ahead and do it, the town
lost its internet.
“Since Thursday, they’ve
just been stopped dead,” she
said.
Ms. Johnson also said that
though the village has asked
Time-Warner to look into extending ser vice out to Dow
Street, both for residents and
for the water plant—which is
still on dial-up—that’s yet to
happen.
Ed Hillenbrand, who lives in
the Village of Richmondville
and is the captain of the
Richmondville Volunteer
Emergency Squad, criticized
what he called Times-Warner’s
monopoly, poor choice of channels, and the fact that equipment is often used.
“They can do better for the
money they’re getting,” he
said.
As far as RVES, he said they
were promised a dedicated
phone line and when they
asked to have it turned on,
they were told it was no longer
available.
“We’re on Route 7,” he said.
“Yet we had to pay almost
$1,000 to get ser vice to our
building.”
One resident said TimeWar ner deliberately keeps
internet download times slow
so you have to buy more expensive packages, and Betsy
Burt said her service had gotten so expensive, they’ve
switched to other options.
“I don’t want to pay $170,
$200 a month to watch two
hours of TV a night,” she said.
Town Clerk Tina Shuar t
suggested asking TimeWarner to find a local business
willing to handle returns on
broken equipment so people
don’t have to travel all the way
to Albany to do it.
The negotiating team,
which includes Mike VanDow
and Ken Hotopp, will take
these concer ns with them
when they sit down with TimeWarner.

Only town will
run Sharon pool
By Patsy Nicosia
The Town of Sharon will be
on its own this summer when
it comes to running the community pool.
Wednesday, Super visor
Sandra Manko read a letter
from Village Mayor Doug
Plummer saying that due to fiscal challenges there—among
them the aftermath of the
winter’s frozen pipes and last
summer’s flash flood—the village won’t be able to provide
it’s share of support—$3,500—
nor the manpower it usually
does.
However, though because of
a state directive, the village
now has to meter the water
used at the pool, it won’t bill
the town for it.
And Village Trustee Jef f
White has agreed to handle
the paperwork for staff at the
pool and Summer Rec.
Ms. Manko and councilmen
were stunned by the late notice; the pool usually opens in
June.
“What else can they drop on
us?” asked Councilman Brian
Young.
Among the pool tasks the
village usually handles are
mowing and the daily monitoring of chemicals.
Village staff also opens the
pool at the beginning of the season and closes it down in August.
Highway Superintendent Joe
Falsarella said his crew can
handle mowing and the town
agreed to find a way to get the
rest of the work done.
“I think this is an awful
shock,” said Ms. Manko.
state imposed tax cap.
Voters will also be asked to
approve the purchase of two 66passenger buses and two 22passenger buses for up to
$270,000. The district would get
71.4 percent back in state aid
on the purchases.
Two people are running for
two seats in Schoharie.
Incumbent Mark Quandt
and newcomer William “Bill”
Nuehnle are running for two
three-year seats. Nancy Liddle
is not running for re-election.
Middleburgh
Middleburgh school voters
will be casting ballots on the
proposed 2015-26 budget, a bus
purchase proposition, the sale
of district property, as well as
two school board seats Tuesday.
The vote will be from noon
to 9pm in the high school gym
lobby.
Sharon Springs Central
School voters are being asked
to approve a $9.3 million budget with a tax levy decrease of
8.96 percent.
The dramatic drop is due to
changes in the Wal-Mart PILOT.
The total budget is up four
percent.
Because that’s above the
state tax cap levy of about two
percent, 60 percent of district
voters must approve the budget Tuesday.
The proposed budget includes the addition of an elementary teacher, a part-time
guidance position, and increased pre-K funding.
If the budget doesn’t win
approval from 60 percent of voters, the school board will likely
present a revised budget that

Worcester’s proposed budget is $10.9 million, increasing
spending less than one percent
above the current school year.
Worcester polls, in the
school library, are open from
noon to 8pm Tuesday.
The budget would have a
tax-levy increase of 1.14 percent,
which
matches
Worcester’s tax-levy cap that’s
mandated by the state.
Three candidates are running for one seat on the school
board: Michelle Francis, Jillian
Clark and Justin Frost.

The proposed spending plan
totals $20.77 million, which is
1.7 percent more than the current budget, the second lowest percentage increase in the
county. The levy increase is
2.38 percent, which is within
the state budget tax cap.
The bus proposition asks

Opinions
Getting
together
It’s going on three years that the Town of Carlisle’s
been debating a ban on hydrofracking. Maybe in our
lifetime–-or maybe not––Carlisle will get the job done.
There is hope, however.
Even hope appeared to be a lost cause at last
Wednesday’s town board meeting, when members of the
pro-ban Carlisle Concerned Citizens presented the
results of their survey. Simply asking whether residents
wanted a town law banning fracking, the survey went to all
Carlisle voters, who overwhelmingly favored a ban. But
town councilmen weren’t buying it. They refused to
reconsider the ban law they had rejected in January. The
meeting degenerated from there, with councilmen
defending their position and Concerned Citizens blasting
them for not representing their constituents. “It can’t be
any clearer. No matter what the numbers are, you’ll
never believe us,” one woman angrily told the board.
Wednesday night, prospect for a ban looked the
bleakest. A couple of days later, not so much.
Given a chance to cool down, representatives from the
two sides agreed that they should meet privately to hash
out differences and return with a ban law that satisfies
everyone. You’d think that a law written by anti-fracking
expert David Slottje––as Carlisle’s was––and adopted by
more than 200 towns would be okay for Carlisle, but the
ban opponents want assurances that their law won’t
impinge property rights or farming. Fair enough. That
appears doable to us.
The key here is compromise. After three years of
talking about a ban and getting a law on the table––but not
on the books––the two well-entrenched sides are at least
willing to listen to one another. Although this seems a
minor step, it’s real progress. Supervisor Larry Bradt
complained, with much merit, that he’s tired of hearing
about fracking and the proposed ban at just about every
meeting since 2012. We don’t blame him. Now it will
take more time, but the end result, should Carlisle get
there, will be worth it. That’s good for all sides.
To us, the breakthrough came when Councilman David
Laraway observed, “This isn’t going away,” meaning that
the ban supporters wouldn’t quit. Carlisle councilmen
appear willing to meet the Citizens halfway, as they
should.
Getting
together, II
If Carlisle residents and their town board can reach
middle ground for further discussion after three years of
strife, the Schoharie County Board of Supervisors should
be able to do the same after just 18 months of arguing.
At issue is the county administrator, the new position
that became a reality in February. Supervisors tinkered
with the position by passing a new law in March, basically
reducing the administrator’s duties. Those two laws
came into being after more than a year of research, and
now supervisors are sanding and polishing the process
by which they’ll select a person for this position. Yet
even after all this, a few supervisors are still resisting. “I
think you’re wrong with the way you’re going,” Fulton
Supervisor Phil Skowfoe told pro-administrator supervisors last month.
It’s a little late for that, don’t you think?
Middleburgh Supervisor Jim Buzon thought so, too.
“At some point, you have to stop whining and stop
complaining and say, ‘It’s a board decision,’ ” Mr. Buzon
said, and he’s right. Certainly a minority stance like Mr.
Skowfoe’s has legitimacy. . .or at least it did a year ago.
Now supervisors are in midstream in this administrator
deal, and it’s time to pull together.
Like Mr. Skowfoe, we’re not thrilled at all with the
second administrator law that stripped away a few duties.
But that’s where Schoharie County is right now. Still
ahead are advertising for the position, reviewing resumes, at least three rounds of interviews and the final
selection. There’s plenty of work ahead and plenty of
time to get this thing right. And it’s important––absolutely essential––to get it right because the administrator
position changes the mechanism of county government.
It should be obvious that supervisors must work together
rather than thwart the process.
As Mr. Buzon said, the time for complaining is over.
Let’s move ahead.

It’s spring
Mar
est
aree’s N
Nest
By Patsy Nicosia
It’s hard to believe it’s just
May and not July with the glorious weather we’ve been having:
Morning chores in shorts, fixing fence till after 8pm (and it’s
still light), fans running in the
horse barn, and in the house,
doors and windows open all
night.
Sunday, I made a pre-end-ofsemester trip to Oswego to
bring home the first load of
Holly’s “stuff,” and while I sunbathed on the shores of Lake
Ontario and Holly sketched,
there were kids swimming.
Our guess was that they’d
been doing a little pre-end-ofsemester celebrating, but, knock
on wood, I think it’s finally safe
to put away the winter wear.
Though I’m waiting on the
garden.
Look outside and that sounds
crazy.
But anyone who’s been gardening long enough remembers all of the springs when temperatures in the 80s were replaced by snow or cold, neverending rain, and ever ything
they’d jumped the gun with
froze to death in the ground or
just plain rotted.
Sometimes more than once
in the same year, and sometimes even after Memorial Day,
which we’ve learned by trial
and error not to get ahead of.
Not in Richmondville, not in
Summit, and not even in
Sharon.
So we wait—even though
the garden’s been fer tilized
and raked and rotor tilled and
rotor tilled again for a while
now.
For no par ticular reason,
Dave and I seem to switch off
every year or so on who’s in
charge of the garden.
Two summers ago ago, he
announced he had no interest
in doing it—even threatening
to plow it all up and plant it to
grass—still scarred, I think, by
the battle he’d lost the previous summer with the crows.
He still swears they were following along behind him as he
planted the seeds for the sunflowers (that, umm, we grow
for the birds, though that, I
guess, is beside the point.)
And he still swears he has
the nightmares to prove it.
With Dave out of the gardening picture that summer, I
picked up the shovel and in a
flash of genius, strung netting
leftover from Holly’s pheasantraising days from one end of
the garden to the other.
Yes, it was a chore keeping
it out of the way of the seeds as
they germinated, sprouted,
and grew, but what do you
know?
No crows.
The anti-crow netting
worked just as well last summer, but this year?
Dave’s decided he’s ready to
be in charge of the garden
again and he’s not going to
bother with the netting I left
neatly bundled in the barn.
The crows are circling.
But not to worry.
Because after Dave told me
to take a look at the seeds he’s
been picking up here and there
and everywhere so I could “fill
in the holes,” with what I
wanted, I’m sure we’ve got
enough for the crows too.
There were so many packs
of seeds that I had to make a
list:
Beans—green, 2; yellow—2;
corn, 2; sugar snap peas—2;
carrots (carrots?!)—2; spinach, collards, Swiss chard,
kale, lettuce, and zucchini, 1
each.
And, for the crows, I assume,
sunflowers, 3.
Even if I wanted to “fill in the
holes,” what’s left?
Onions, tomatoes, potatoes,
broccoli, and cauliflower.
Nothing fun there.
Especially
since
the
garden’s not that big.
Big enough, sure; people driving by slow down to admire it.
But year after year after year
after year, our biggest gardening problem (after the crows)
(and the chickens) has been
that we try to cram in way too
much.
I have no idea where Dave
plans to plant all this stuff.
But since this year, he’s in
charge, I guess that’s his problem.
Letters
Honoring
our veterans
Dear Editor,
In June 1997, I had the oppor tunity to attend the
Schoharie Elementary School
Moving-Up Day ceremony for
the fourth, fifth and sixth graders.
The program included the
acknowledgement of the sixth
grade Flag Group.
While this was the first Moving-Up Day for this grade level
that I had attended, and as a
member of the Schoharie
American Legion Auxiliar y, I
was curious to find out more
about this group of students.
When school opened that fall
I was able to speak to thenSchoharie Elementary Principal Paul Seamans about the
group.
It was clear that this was a
very important program to him.
Mr. Seamans is a Vietnam veteran, a member of the American Legion and a ver y proud
American.
We discussed how he started
the Flag Group at the end of his
first year as elementary principal in the spring of 1991.
He went to the fifth grade
classes and asked all of the students to write him a letter. Each
fifth grader had to include in
the letter why or why they did
not want to be a member of the
Sixth Grade Flag Group.
Being a member of this Color
Guard meant that as sixth graders they would spend several
days or even a month raising
the American flag over the elementary school each morning
and lowering it each afternoon
as well as learning to properly
fold the flag.
The response each year has
been so great that there are
several students who share the
duties each month.
Since June 1998, the
Schoharie American Legion
Auxiliary has given nearly 1,000
certificates of appreciation to
each student who has participated in the program.
Additionally, an Americanism Award is given to the student recognized by the principal for their outstanding contribution to the program.
When Mr. Seamans retired
at the end of the school year in
2005 after being the elementary
principal for 15 years, the
American Legion Auxiliary surprised and recognized him at
the Moving-Up Day ceremony
by having five of the eight previous Americanism Award recipients present him with an
American flag that had been
flown over the Schoharie Elementary School on Flag Day,
June 14, 2005.
The annual Americanism
Award was also renamed the
Paul E. Seamans Americanism
Aawrd.
In addition to the Color
Guard, Mr. Seamans made arrangements for the students to
assist him in placing American
flags on the graves of veterans
at two local cemeteries.
The placement of the flags
continued until he moved outof-state in 2013.
The program, now in its 24th
year, has been continued by the
Schoharie American Legion
Auxiliar y with not only the
monthly Color Guard training
at the school but with the assistance of the Color Guard, the
placing of the flags on veterans
graves will also continue in one
local cemetery.
On the morning of Thursday,
May 14 the students and several adults will be placing flags
in the Lutheran Cemetery in
Schoharie.
The public is welcome to attend.

Poppies
for veterans
Dear Editor,
May is Poppy Month.
The poppy is a symbol of the
veterans who have died in war.
Their story started in World
War I.
A soldier who was wounded
in a field of poppies wrote a
poem called, “In Flanders
Fields,” before he died.
I urge anyone who sees an
American Legion Auxiliar y
woman sitting with a can of
poppies to donate and get a
poppy to honor our veterans.

A successful
CROP Walk
Dear Editor,
On behalf of the local CROP
Walk Planning Committee, I
want to take this moment to
thank your newspaper for the
pre-event coverage given to
the May 3 Schoharie County
Aggie Scott Memorial CROP
Walk.
The two ar ticles in the
Times Journal gave local residents ample information about
the event and why 57 people
ultimately walked in it to raise
nearly $7,000.
As a member of the committee, I really appreciate the coverage that your paper also provided on the day of the event.
The reason is simple: Last
year nearly $900 came to our
treasurer after the hunger
walk took place. I would expect
that the same will happen this
year as well.
Anyone who didn’t donate
before the fundraiser can still
do so.
Therefore, your coverage on
May 3 will be a reminder to
some CROP Walk supporters
that it’s never too late to give
money to fight hunger in our
own county, in our own country and anywhere in the world
where people don’t have
enough good food to eat.
Late checks, made out to
“CWS/CROP,” can be mailed
to CROP Walk Treasurer

FERC, could take my land just
so a corporation could profit
from it.
Eminent domain used this
way is not only undemocratic;
it is government-sanctioned
corporate theft.
Here in Davenport, I fear
that the peaceful rural environment and the pristine headwaters of the region are about to
be permanently industrialized
by giant energy corporations,
all for the purpose of increasing the wealth of just a handful of people.
Those people have been able
to wield great power over landowners like me; simply because we landowners are of
lesser wealth and are poorly
represented.
Because the Un-Constitution Pipeline Company needs
NY DEC permits to construct
this pipeline, the only way the
project could now be stopped
is through the DEC.
I hope the DEC, the Attorney General and Governor
Cuomo do the right thing and
refuse to issue these permits.

The Village of Cobleskill has
received the go-ahead to work
toward combining its planning
and zoning board with the
town’s. The idea of village-town
planning and zoning grew out
of joint talks begun by the two
municipalities almost a year
ago.

night at Fonda, Varin beat the

and car owner Jake Spraker
took their powerful No. 1J to
Utica-Rome for the Race of

Ronnie finished fourth and Jack

Dear Editor,
I am a landowner in Davenport, who is about to have my
property and life ripped apart
by the Constitution Pipeline.
I am a typical working class
American, who is fortunate to
own my land.
I see myself as a steward and
believe the care I’ve given to
my land has provided environmental benefits for ever yone
living in what I grew up to believe was a democracy.
Now my land is being taken
by eminent domain so the gas
can be shipped to a foreign
country and sold at a higher
price.
If the pipeline trench is dug
and the land blasted, that
democratic ideal would also be
ripped away from me by an
opaque and devious energy
company that has no respect
for the basis of American democracy: Private property.
I find it especially disturbing
that my own gover nment,

Sharon to help
at cemetery
in Leesville
By Patsy Nicosia
The Town of Sharon agreed
Wednesday to do what it can
to help out at the Leesville
Cemetery.
Joan Jozifek told Supervisor
Sandra Manko and councilmen that she and Carol Vacca
will be sending out appeal letters to raise money for road
repairs at the cemetery, which
she said are in terrible shape.
Ms. Jozifek said they’ve had
the most success in the past
with appeals for specific
projects and how much road
they’ll be able to repair will
depend on how much money
comes in.
In the past, Ms. Jozifek said,
the town’s helped by trucking
in the stone that the cemetery
association has purchased—
something they agreed to do
again this year after listening
to her request.

there’s no reason for the town
to be adding to them.
Solar and wind farms are
only permitted as PDDs—
planned development districts—in the town.
Mr. McAllister said he’d like
to see some sort of regulations
that would have their developers make payments in lieu of
taxes and councilmen agreed
to forward the request to the
Planning Board.
“I think you’re following the
right path,” said Assessor Alan

HERE’S HOW TO PLAY
visor Leo McAllister said his
town is seeing more interest in
solar and wind and he’s concerned about a section of real
property tax law he believes is
stacked too much in developers’ favor.
A developer who buys a
piece of land and then puts a
solar or wind farm on it, Mr.
McAllister said, would be taxed
only on the value of the land—
not the improvements, no matter how extensive.

The Town of Sharon has
agreed to a six-month moratorium on solar farms, while the
Town of Cobleskill is hoping to
get some PILOTs for any
projects there.
Sharon’s Joint Planning
Board will spend the next six
months working with consultant Nan Stolzenburg to establish the appropriate zones for
both commercial solar farms
and individual installations and
come up with height and setback requirements.
The moratorium grew out of
an inquiry a few months ago
from Rob Collier, manager of
product development for
OneEnergy Renewables of Seattle, Washington, for a project
called Birdseye Solar on Route
20, across from the old Belvedere Motel.
Sharon cur rently has no
regulations in place regulating
either commercial or residential solar farms.
“We don’t have any problem
with solar, but we don’t want
to see our agricultural space
filled up with solar farms,” said
Super visor Sandra Manko
Wednesday.
Ann Adams, a member of the
Planning Board, agreed that
it’s an issue that needs to be
looked at and called six months
a reasonable timeframe.
The Schoharie County Planning Commission has already
ruled the moratorium is only of
local concer n and not
countywide significance.
No solar installations will be
permitted during the moratorium, unless the town adopts
the Joint Planning Board’s recommendations before them.
The moratorium could also
be extended by six months.

Also Wednesday, the town
heard that the Highway Depar tment will be getting a
slight increase in CHIPS funding, a total of $107,311.51.
That figure includes
$13,954.30 because of the extreme winter weather.
Last year the town got about
$104,000 from CHIPS.
Also, work is moving ahead
with American Legion and
Sharon Historical Society efforts to honor five local men
who died in World War II and
the Korean War with a plaque
that will be located at
Bowmaker’s Pond.
The plaque will be placed on
a boulder moved from the site
of the Battle of Sharon along
Route 20 and will be dedicated
at the May 25 Memorial Day
ceremonies in front of Sharon
Springs Central School.
Highway Superintendent
Joe Falsarella helped move the
boulder to the town garage,
where members of the Sharon
Springs Fire Depar tment
cleaned it.
It will be moved to the front
of the school for Memorial Day
and then to its permanent
home at Bowmakers’.

3 for 2 seats at C-R
Melissa Bartlett
By Jim Poole
Having gained experience
through one term on the
Cobleskill-Richmondville
school board, Melissa Bartlett
is ready for another.
Ms. Bar tlett is r unning
against fellow incumbent Dan
Schulte and newcomer Justin
Smith for one of two seats on
the C-R board.
Ms. Bartlett, 38, said her first
term was a learning experience, and now she wants to put
it to use.
“I feel that I just got my feet
wet, learning how it all works,”
Ms. Bartlett said. “There really is a lot to learn, especially
about the budget. It takes a
full term to understand that.”
But even though she was
new to the board, Ms. Bartlett
helped in decision-making, especially in hiring Superintendent Carl Mummenthey, who
replaced Lynn Macan at the
start of this school year.
“Carl’s been very good for
our district,” Ms. Bartlett said.
“Hiring a new superintendent
was a big undertaking for our
board, and the full board did a
great job.”
Also early in her first term,
there were few if any cuts in
programs, and in the proposed
budget, C-R is adding staff and
programs, thanks to an increase in state aid.
That increase came through
a decrease in the Gap Elimination Adjustment, which is aid
Albany kept from school to balance the state budget.
Ms. Bar tlett would like to
see the GEA abolished completely for the 2016-17 school
year so that C-R could add back
more programs that were cut
in earlier years. Getting the
state legislature to get rid of the
GEA will require more lobbying from school boards and the
public, Ms. Bartlett said.
If more aid is available, she’d
like to see more business and
technology classes returned to
the curriculum.
And Ms. Bartlett would also
like to see a “life-skills” class––
how to make a household budget, working a checkbook and
Melissa Bartlett
writing a resume.
“Where do kids learn those
skills?” Ms. Barlett asked. “I
think it’s something we should
offer.”
She’s been following the controversy over standardized
tests, opting out of tests and
teacher evaluations, but Ms.
Bar tlett is unsure how the
school board can affect change
at the state level.
“There are lots of questions
about it,” she said. “We’ll have
to see how it all comes out.”
With what appears to be a
positive 2015-16 budget year
coming up, Ms. Bartlett is optimistic about the future.
“We’re bouncing back,” she
said. “We have great administrators, great teachers and
amazing kids.
“This is a great community
we live in. That’s part of the
reason I’m on the school board.
I want to give back to the community I grew up in.”

Dan Schulte
Justin Smith
By Jim Poole
Justin Smith believes
Cobleskill-Richmondville is a
great school district, and he
wants to make it better.
That’s why he’s r unning
against incumbents Dan
Schulte and Melissa Bartlett for
one of two seats for a three-year
term.
Mr. Smith, 34, is a 1999 C-R
graduate whose goal “is first,
to make a difference.”
In par ticular, he wants to
improve communications between the school and parents,
and also to help parents to
reach the proper person when
there’s a problem.
Those ideas coalesced last
fall, when one of his two children was involved “in a very
minor incident” at school.
“I began talking to other parents and found that there were
sometimes issues between
them and the school,” Mr.
Smith said.
He star ted two facebook
pages, CRCS Parents for
Change and CRCS Incidents so
that parents could connect and
swap concerns and ideas.
Mr. Smith has also met with
Superintendent
Carl
Mummenthey and school
board President Bruce Tryon
to discuss issues and communication.
“I want to help parents get to
the right person, whether it’s
Bruce or Carl or somebody
else,” said Mr. Smith.
His thrust is to “combat misbehavior”––especially bullying––and identify problem areas where it might happen: On
a bus, in the cafeteria or during recess.
“Small problems may seem
like little splashes at first, but
we want to address them before they become big waves,”
he said.
In step with tr ying to improve character and behavior,
Mr. Smith has served on the
Code of Conduct Committee
and has proposed changes to
the code.
Admitting that he’d be new
to the school board, Mr. Smith
said that he’s eager to learn
willing to offer new ideas.
Justin Smith
“I like to step back and look
at the big picture before making any decisions,” he said.
“I have ideas. As issues
come up, I’d like to be there to
solve them.”
He suggested that C-R use
a “customer service” approach
in dealing with parents and the
public.
That meshes with Mr.
Smith’s ideas about the budget and finances. It’s important “to keep community members happy,” whether they’re
taxpayers with children or
without, he said.
Mr. Smith described himself about passionate about CR
“I
want
CobleskillRichmondville to be a leader,
not a follower in the Capital
District,” he said.
“I have an extreme passion
for kids, and I love this district.
It has a lot of positives. I just
want to make it better.”

By Jim Poole
Dan Schulte calls himself
the historian of the CobleskillRichmondville school board,
and although he says it with a
laugh, he’s not kidding.
Mr. Schulte, 65, has served
on the C-R board for 20 years,
and now he’s seeking re-election for another three-year
term.
He’s running against Melissa Bartlett, also an incumbent, and Justin Smith, a newcomer.
Mr. Schulte’s 20 years of service isn’t consecutive, so his
experience spans more than
two decades, stretching back
to the pre-merger years.
“That remembrance, that
perspective, is important,” he
said. “The merger, the building projects, the good times,
the bad times. . .I was there.”
And Mr. Schulte wants to
continue.
“I like the interaction with
the people,” he said. “We get
to see the public good and bad.
They can yell at us, but that’s
okay. Everyone’s entitled to
an opinion.”
Having served on the board
through recent difficult financial years, Mr. Schulte believes
the situation is improving.
For one, C-R’s state aid is
improving, and for another,
new Superintendent Carl
Mummenthey has made a
good impression in his first
months on the job.
“Carl’s done a great job,” Mr.
Schulte said. “Things are amicable and people are getting
along and working together.
That’s good.”
Over the past five years, Albany withheld $13 million in aid
to C-R for the Gap Elimination
Adjustment.
Because the GEA was cut
this for the coming budget––
and the district is therefore
receiving more aid––C-R has
been able to restore some staff
and programs.
“But it’s going to take time
to get back to where we were,”
said Mr. Schulte. “We can’t get
staff and programs back all at
once.”
He’s pleased, however, that
Dan Schulte
the district won’t be using as
much of its savings in the 201516 budget.
“The less of our savings we
take out for the budget, the
more we have for other
things,” Mr. Schulte said.
He ser ves on the school
board’s Building Committee.
Although C-R is not looking at
any building projects, the committee is targeting maintaining what the district has.
However, the committee
may explore solar power for
schools.
“We looked at solar once,
years ago,” Mr. Schulte said.
“Maybe we should look at it
again. Potentially, it could do
a lot for us and save money.”
Mr. Schulte would also like
board members to have more
interaction with students, particularly at board meetings.
“I like to see their presentations, what they’re doing,” he
said. “After all, that’s our
whole purpose of being there.”
Like other candidates, Mr.
Schulte is optimistic about
Cobleskill-Richmondville.
“We have a great district,”
he said. “With Carl on board
and
better
finances,
everything’s flowing again.”

The four-page guide is a “visual expression of what’s OK

Students are not allowed to

SALUTE OUR VETS
CELEBRATION!
Saturday May 16, 10am - 2pm
Six for two seats at MCS
The seats are for three
years.
Pam Standhart
Ms.
Standhar t,
of
Clauverwie Road, is currently
the president of the school
board. She has been on the
board for three years.
Her first three years on the
board were a lear ning
experience, Ms. Standhar t
said.
She would like to remain on
the board to help finish some
of the initiatives started such
as a new attendance policy,
getting back more courses,
especially AP classes, and
negotiations with the teachers’
union. She would also like to
see the district get away from
using the fund balance ever y
year in order to reduce taxes.
With her experience on the
board, it will be easier to keep
things moving for ward, she
added, and to keep “a smooth
continuum.”
Tom Wargo
Mr. Wargo thinks that
communication is a key issue
in the district.
There seems to be a “real
lack of integration and
communication in various
aspects of the district between
the staf f, teachers, parents,
administrators,
and
community in general,
according to Mr. Wargo, who
lives on Scribner Avenue.
“If communication is better,
the problems seem to work
themselves out.”
Mr. Wargo, who has a
daughter in the first grade,
suggested having people
access meetings through a
Podcast or other way on the
Internet.
In addition to improving
communication, Mr. Wargo
added, “My priority is the kids
and seeing that they get the
proper education.”
Becky Binder
Ms. Binder, of Cotton Hill
Road, is completing her first
three-year term on the school
board.
Her first term was a
learning experience and gave
her an appreciation of what it
takes to run the district.
The next few years should
be an exciting time as the
district begins to come out
from the shadow of state
budget cuts and begins to
retur n programs that were
cuts, Ms. Binder said.
State funding cuts forced
the district to make cuts, but
now things have been
stabilized and “now we can
rebuild,” she added.
“We’ve weathered the hard
times and it will be better” as
the district gets more state aid,
she continued.
An unknown, she added,
will be the affect of state testing
and the number of students
who are opting out.
It
is
“an
unknown
challenge.”
Laura Arnwine
Ms. Arnwine wants to see
communication improved with
the school board and changes
in which ways money is spent
in the district.
Not enough money goes
into educational programs and

children but did have a son
that graduated from MCS.
“I have a very deep love for
this area,” she added. “I want
our kids to be more
competitive.”
Michael Parker
Mr. Parker was a bus driver
for MCS for more than 31
years.
“I’ve had a long history with
the school and I want to help
the school out, the staff, the
students, the taxpayers, and
the teachers.”
Mr. Parker, of MT Path, was
vice president of the nonteachers union and served on
the negotiating committee for
many years.
“I bring a lot to the table. I
sat on the other side of the
(negotiating) table for 25
years. I know the contract
inside and out.”
Mr. Parker, who lost in a
ver y close election for the
school board two years ago,
sees two areas of concern in
the district.
He feels that having the
personal secretar y to the
superintendent as temporar y
district clerk is a conflict of
interest and is very concerned
about the dwindling fund
balance.
“That has to be a major
concern with everyone in the
school district.”
Mr. Parker was disappointed
with the board that they did
not
eliminate
an
administrator’s position two
years ago with the retirement
of the elementary principal.
It was a prime opportunity,
he said, to cut one
administrator position and
save the district at least
$150,000 per year.
Doralee Mickle
“I’ve always been interested
in the school and want to help
provide quality education for
the
students
in
our
community,” said Ms. Mickle,
of Grove Street.
“It’s our responsibility as
members of the community to
get involved.”
Ms. Mickle noted that her
husband is retiring from the
district at the end of the
current school year so, “I don’t
have any agenda.”
She would like to see better
communication in the district.
“We need to listen to the
concer ns of the parents,
taxpayers and employees.”

LOW BACK PAIN
If back pains are a way of life for you, the reasons can be
varied and complex. Some may be pathological, but very
often the cause is muscles, which are either over or underexercised which are producing spinal distortion. Vertebrae
slip into abnormal positions, resulting in “pinched” and irritated nerves, which cause pain and even loss of function
of the affected body part. Poor posture, or even emotional
tension, can be the root cause.

students to present their arguments and defend them during

Ten students from Capital

Ceer doesn’t say much but
criminals know when he is unhappy, and few try to outrace
him.
That’s because Trooper Ceer
is a K9 Trooper, one of about
200 in New York State.
With his human partner in
tow, Trooper Patrick Darling,
Ceer visited the Capital Region
BOCES Career and Technical
School (CTE) Schoharie campus on Thursday to demonstrate his skills for the criminal
justice students there.
Trooper Darling led the discussion while Ceer did all of the
work, showing his propensity
to use his powerful jaws on unsuspecting rubber toys when
not engaging a criminal, demonstrating his ability to sniff out
drugs and his ability to leap
great heights.
“He is ver y energetic…
that’s a quality you need in a

Trooper Darling.
But Ceer also showcased his
ability to focus, never being distracted while focusing on a perpetrator, and not interrupting
his human partner while he
spoke at length to the students.
Students asked a myriad of

students made it all the way to
nationals and even won an
award.
“Because we only have 10
students on our team, we had
three students on a unit and
some of our students even did
more than one unit each. They
were up against teams that had
four, five and six students per
unit, so they were carrying two
to three times as much work
and had to know a scope of
knowledge two to three times
greater as the other teams,” he
said.
In all, there were 56 teams
from across the nation compet-
ing. The BOCES New Visions
team was one of 20 to win
awards.
The national competition
ran April 24-28.
During the regional, state
and national competitions, the
students in the “We The
People” events must show an
immense knowledge of the
constriction, legal decisions
and more.
“Students are asked to
demonstrate their knowledge
and understanding of constitutional principles,” said Mr.
Bader, the instructor and coordinator of the program.
“The New Visions Law and
Government program integrates Advanced Placement
U.S. government and politics
with college-level English, law
and economics so students
have the ability to answer difficult questions.”

Not So Quiet Series
hosts Dom Flemons
The Middleburgh Librar y
Not So Quiet Concert Series
will present Dom Flemons, Friday, May 22 at 7pm.
Dom Flemons is the “American Songster”, pulling from
traditions of old-time folk music to create new sounds.
Having per formed music
professionally since 2005, he
has played live for over 1 million people just within the past
three years.
As par t of the Carolina
Chocolate Drops, which he cofounded with Rhiannon
Giddens and Justin Robinson,
he has played at a variety of festivals spanning from the Newport Folk Festival to Bonnaroo,
in addition to renowned venues such as the Grand Ole
Opry.
A multi-instrumentalist, Mr.
Flemons plays banjo, guitar,
harmonica, fife, bones, bass
drum, snare drum and quills,
in addition to singing. He says
that he incorporates his background in percussion to his
banjo playing. His banjo rep-
er toire includes not only
clawhammer but also tenor and
three-finger styles of playing.
He first picked up the instrument when he borrowed a fivestring banjo from a friend who
had removed the instrument’s
fifth string.
As a founding member of the
Carolina Chocolate Drops, an
African-American string band,
Mr. Flemons was able to explore his interest in bringing
traditional music to new audiences.
The band won a Grammy for
its 2011 album “Genuine Negro
Jig” and was nominated for its
most recent album, “Leaving
Eden” in 2012.
This event is made possible
(in part) with public funds from
the Decentralization Program
and the New York State Council on the Arts, administered

Our moms are our world
Kids tell us why in T-J
Mother’s Day contest
By Patsy Nicosia
We know our moms are fantastic, but if you want to know
just how fantastic, ask their
kids.
One hundred and fifty
“kids”, (there was an over-12
categor y) wrote in to tell us
why their mom’s the greatest
in an essay contest we revived
after a couple of year’s hiatus.
“We had a lot of fun judging
the entries,” said Times-Journal Publisher Jim Poole, “and
we’re glad we got back on track
with the contest. All of the moms
should be proud of their kids,
who agree they’re doing a
great job being moms.”
Most of the entries came
through local schools, but it’s
been a while since Raquel
Keller, our over-12 winner, has
been in a classroom.
Ms. Keller, 39, called her
mom, Dianna, her best friend.
“There will never be another
person like her…” she wrote.
“Thank you for being you and
teaching me how to be a perfect mom like you are…”
It’s tough being perfect—especially with all the cleaning
our moms do.
Patrick Lusk, 9, from
Middleburgh, said his mom
does his laundry “and helps me
with the dishes.”
And for good reason:
“…she does my laundry because I do not know how…she
helps me with the dishes so it
does not take an hour.”
Smart mom.
Stephen Kowalski, 12, also
from Middleburgh, said his
mom is special “because she
runs around like a chicken
with her head cut off.”
Olivia’s mom is special because she loves cats (they’re
from Sharon); Zoe wants more
than anything to buy her mom
a dog “because she really
wants one.”
Or maybe Zoe does—or
maybe she wants to meet Brandon Hanley, 10, who told us
“My mom loves me like a dog.”
Rhianna Islip, 9, from
Sharon, loves her mom because she takes her to see the
alpacas—and might even be
able to wrangle her a job working with them.
Jaiden Chebetar, 8, from
Jefferson, loves mom because
she takes them fishing—and
even takes the fish off the hook;
Holden Argell, 8, also from
Jefferson, goes fishing with his
mom too.
Abby
Mer win,
from
Jefferson, has a pretty mom;
classmate Riely Poole does
too—and Riely, one of our winners, even knows her secret:
“She puts on perfume to make
her look pretty.
Polly Kelly’s mom is great because she gardens and sews
costumes (Polly, from Gilboa,
is 9) and Anneliese Herzog, 7,
from Sharon, loves her mom
because she takes things a step
further.
“She talks to herbs. I do not
know why she talks to herbs.”
Cyrus Kalamaras, 8, from
Gilboa, wrote “My mom is important because we are a family.”
Kerrington Bellinger, 8, also
from Gilboa, has a mom who’s
a “sweetheart”:
“Sometimes I wonder if my
mom and I are related. She is
that nice.”
When mom’s not cleaning or
fishing, she’s cooking.
Dakota Medico, 6, from
Jefferson, writes: “Tina is special because she makes me
bacon. I love bacon.”

Mom’s also good for when the
doctor’s not available.
Just ask Dakota Oliver, 9.
“I get into more accidents
than I can count and my
mother is always there for me.
When I was bit in the head by
my dog, she asked me if I was
okay one million times. When I
needed stitches above my eye,
she rushed me to the hospital.
Oh, and when the corner of the
DVD player fell on my head and
blood was ever ywhere, she
rushed home.”
Isabel Philipp, 11, from
Middleburgh, remembers the
time she got stuck in the jungle
gym at McDonald’s and her
mom—pregnant with her sister, Ava, at the time, came to
her rescue.
“It took her a while…”
No wonder. “And still today,
she brings it up…”
No wonder again.
“My mom is the best because
she never dropped me on my
head, I think,” writes Connor
Carr, 9, from Gilboa, a clear-cut
job requirement.
Most of all, though, mom is
mom and Rachel Rorick of
Sharon sums that sentiment us
best.
“My mom is the best around
and she will always be for a long
time.”

My mom is the best!!! She makes
breakfast, lunch and dinner. She
loves to snuggle with me. She puts
on perfume to make her look pretty.
I love mom and she loves me!

The things that makes my mom the best:
The first thing is when I’m feeling down she
is there for me.
The second thing is she believes in me and
always will.
The third thing is she is the prettiest person
on the Earth.
That is why my mommy is the best mom.
Next up: Make
Dad a Masterpiece
There’s no one like mom, but dad will get his turn
in the spotlight when we revive our “Make Dad A
Masterpiece,” contest.
We’ll be providing paper frames to local schools so
kids can draw a picture of their dad—or of someone
who’s like a dad to them—in three age categories: 6 &
under, 7-9, and 10-12.
Copies of the frame will also be available at the
Times-Journal.
Deadline for submitting dad drawings back to the
T-J is 5pm, June 17.
There will be prizes, and photos of the winners and
their dads, along with their drawings, will be published in the T-J.
“It’s been a while since we’ve done this, but we’re
looking forward to seeing our dads in all their glory,”
said T-J Editor Patsy Nicosia.
“Fishing, grilling, sleeping on the couch…there will
be no secrets.”

My Mom is the best because she helps
me learn how to keep myself from being sad. My Mom is sad now because her
sister Ashley died in a fire. Even
though she is sad she still is an
awesome Mom and takes great care of
me. If I keep myself from being sad I
can help my mom feel better. She works
at the Dollar General and she bought

Age 39
Schoharie
39 years ago, I met a woman who brought
me into this world. It is hard not to
describe a woman that I call mom. My
mom
is
amazing,
beautiful,
selfless,
thoughtful and funny. She has the biggest heart and shoulders. She can carry
the weight of the world and still have
time for her family. I love being around
her. She can put a smile on anyone’s
face, no matter what kind of mood you
are in. She has always worked hard to
provide
for
her
family
and
continues
to do so today. I love spending time
with my mom.
Mom, I love you with all my heart.
You are very special in every sense of
the word. Thank you for being you and
teaching me how to be a perfect mom
like you are. I always wanted to be
just like you, and someday when my
little girl grows up, she will be just
like
us.
Perfect
in
every
way!
Happy Mother’s Day Mom.
Gilboa
By Dorothy Pickett
The weather could not have
been any better on Sunday for
Mother’s Day.
The girls arrived around
noon and got ever ything
ready for a lunch which we
had on the deck.
Charles Colliton arrived at
1pm and did all the grilling.
As it started to get hotter I
plugged in two fans, which
helped immensely. Deborah
and Diane gave me a Red Bud
tree so after lunch we all
decided it would be best to
plant it across the road by the
flowering pear tree.
Chuck and the girls dug the
hole.
Of course everyone knows
that rocks seem to grow in Flat
Creek and he hit a big one
with the shovel.
It is amazing how he knows
when he is called to come
running for his peanuts, jump
in the bucket and fill his cheeks
to the brim.
Then he runs to the front
lawn where his hole is and
wiggles his way down to store
them. Pretty soon we should
start to see some fawns out and
about.
If anyone plans on attending
the committal service for Bob
Dowitsch on Saturday, May 16,
you need to call Pastor Dottie
at (607)588-7533. The reason
for this is Jean Dowitsch (Bob’s
wife) fell and fractured her hip.
Pastor can tell you if the
service is still going to be held
or canceled.
Barbara Deimold tells me
she had a really nice time at
her son and daughter-in-law’s
home for two days last week.
Her daughter in law held a
paint party.
Her friend does some ver y
artistic paintings and wanted
to share her talent with others.
Everyone got to paint whatever
they chose to. With her
instructions they all came up
with some great ideas and the
paintings all came out great
too.
Becky Peterson spent
Mother’s Day with mom,
Virginia. Virginia called to let
me know her computer was not
working. She also said she
received some beautiful cards
from son John, daughter
Kristina and Valerie, along with
lovely flowers.
On Saturday, May 2, Scott
T r uesdell hosted a 16 th
birthday party for his daughter
Jaida. Many friends and family
were there to help Jaida
celebrate.
Congratulations Jaida! Now
you can tell everyone you are
Sweet Sixteen.
For Mother’s Day on
Sunday, Scott hosted a lunch
at his home. Those in
attendance were, Mom Ruth
and all the rest of the Truesdell
family, Rebecca, Mark, Diane,
Morgan, Eric, Jaida and not to
be left out was Ryan Perotti.
Congratulations to Dr.
Timothy J. Brown. Timothy is
the recipient of the Dr. John M.
and Glady N. Bates award.
This award is given for
outstanding contributions in
After using a heavy crow
bar, it finally broke loose. Diane
carried it down to the stone
wall.
We gave the tree lots of
water and fresh fertilized dirt
from the veggie garden.
I made up my mind to tie a
piece of bright pink ribbon on
it so I don’t mistakenly mow it
down with the lawn tractor. It
is about four foot tall and does
have green leaves on it.
Until I get used to it being
there I know the ribbon will
help.
Our hummingbirds and
orioles have arrived eating
their sugary liquid and many
oranges. It seems so good to
see them. Both the female and
male orioles are stunning to
watch.
Chippy has come out of his
hole.

Neighbors Tony and Alison
Emmerich flew to France and
spent a few days there, then it
was on to Ireland to attend a
wedding for Alison’s niece
whose husband to be is from
Belfast.
Tony and Alison’s daughter
Hannah, hubby James and son
Leo also attended.
The wedding was held last
Friday in Londonderry which
is in Northern Ireland. Alison
tells me it was totally beautiful.
The ceremony was in a
historic chapel overlooking the
sea.
The reception was at the
hotel where ever yone was
staying. There was dancing
after wards which included
Irish Reels.
Alison said that was a lot of
fun. People they met while in
Ireland were wonderfully nice,
friendly and very welcoming.
Although it was a bit cold and
rainy they spent a few days
touring around with Hannah,
James and Leo. James did the
driving. He has some family
toward the west coast so their
plan was to visit with them also.
The scener y was simply
gorgeous, even though it was
chilly. Ever ything was so lush
and green. They did have
warmer weather while in
France. Alison said it will be
good to be back home in Gilboa
this week. She is anxiously
wanting to see all her beautiful
flowers I told her were in
bloom.

Summit
By Karen Cuccinello
It’s like summer already and
I think I saw a few of those
nasty Mayflies; I thought we
might avoid them this year.
While on a fairly busy
highway the other day, Andy
commented that there are
fewer and fewer American
made cars on the road these
days, so I decided to do a
sur vey. I jotted down the
make of all of the cars we saw
within an hour. I was surprised
to find that the make we saw
the most was Toyota.
There were 30 Toyotas,
second was Honda at 22, Ford
21, Nissan 14, Chevy 8, Subaru
and Hyundai 6, and Volvo,
GMC, Lexus, Kia, Mazda, Jeep
4. There were 11 other makes
with three or less. This is very
unscientific, but interesting
just the same.

Joseph J. Kenyon, Inc.
Agency
The roots of this business go
back to the histor y of the
building, once the office of Dr.
Leonard located next to
Nelson’s Garage. The house
was moved to the present site
on Main Street, painted red,
white and blue and named
“The Colonial Building.” It
served as a meat market from
1902-1937.
Betty’s
Luncheonette, operated by
Betty Palmer Muehl, and then
Walt Bar tow’s Restaurant
were both located here. In
1949, George W. Alexander,
who had started his insurance
business in his home,
eventually purchased the site
to continue his growing
insurance agency.
George W. Alexander hired
Joseph J. Kenyon to work at
the agency in 1954. Following
a vacation in Florida in 1959,
George was killed in an
unfor tunate
automobile
accident in North Carolina en
route home. Kenyon ran the
agency under the George W.
Alexander Agency name until
purchasing the business in
1960.
He
eventually
incorporated it in 1969,
renaming the agency Joseph
J. Kenyon, Inc.
In 1986, Pamela Kenyon was
hired as a customer ser vice
representative and in 2001 she
obtained her insurance license
and took on more roles in the
of fice by writing business,
managing the books and other
various aspects of the agency.
Harold Crispell joined the
group in 1993 as a producer.
In 1999, he purchased the
business from Joseph J.
Kenyon. Joe remained
working par t-time until he
fully retired in 2006.
The business has remained
successful throughout the
years and as Hal Crispell
readied for retirement he
offered the venture to Pamela
Kenyon in 2012. Pamela
purchased the agency in 2015
with Crispell continuing to
work part-time.
The agency has been
located at 158 Main Street in
Worcester since 1949 and
continues to be a viable
downtown business today
with four full-time and two
par t-time employees. The
operation has grown over the
years, largely due to referral
business from cur rent
insureds, lawyers, realtors and
other professionals that regard
Joseph J. Kenyon, Inc.
insurance
with
high
standards.
Employees
are
conscientious about offering
proper coverage at the lowest
possible rate. Insurance quotes
can be obtained from many
companies and the business
now belongs to a marketing
group which allows access to
a larger span of companies.
Stop by for a friendly visit, meet
the staff, and let them offer
you a quote.

Quilt Club
About 75 ladies attended the
annual Quilter’s Tea, guests of
the 1/4 Inch Quilt Club, held
at the Amvets Hall, Main Street
Schenevus, last Thursday
afternoon.
The highlight of the event
was
speaker
Mar y
Wirchansky, who uses family
themes in her fabulous
quilting designs.
An
old
farmhouse,
mountains and a rail fence, a
cemeter y gate, and her
grandmother
and
grandfather’s quilts relayed
her ar tistic abilities beyond
belief. Mary has displayed her
talents as a quilting genius
both
nationally
and
internationally.
One quilt, “Waiting For the
Mail,” received a “Best of
Countr y” for the United
States.
Pat
Weber,
program
coordinator,
announced
winners in the Tea Challenge:
This is where quilters picked
a colorful ad and used those
hues on a wall hanging.
Winners were: first, Barbara
Ansett of Summit, who did a
spectacular arrangements of
birds on her piece; second,
Judy Staruck, of Schenevus;
and third, a tie, Lucy Hoerle,
Summit and Rochele Burton,
Westford.
Liz Daly, historian, spoke
briefly about the club’s history,
which dates back to the 1990s.
Besides many aspects of
community service, the group
has made 30 rest quilts for
kindergar ten students at
Worcester and Schenevus
schools. At present, she said,
there are 30 members, and
others are always invited to join
their group.
Tea time included a variety
of delicate sandwiches and
luscious cookies. Attending the
event were quilters and nonquilters from, Cobleskill,
Richmondville, Westford,
Jef ferson, Charlottsville,
Summit,
Cooperstown,
Mar yland,
Schenevus,
Westville, Schoharie, Laurens,

South Valley
By Carol Brodie
Thought for the week:
Those who bring sunshine to
the lives of others cannot keep
it from themselves.
Our spring flowers have
been just beautiful. The
hyacinths have gone by and
the daf fodils are following.
Tulips started blooming last
week and they are gorgeous,
especially the pink and
lavender ones. Lilacs are
star ting to turn a little and
should be in bloom in another
week or so.
As I was out working in the
flower garden last week, I
heard the catbirds singing.
Then I saw two of them as they
flew into the lilac bushes. I love
to hear them sing as I’m out
there working.
Can you help?
Charley Brodie has been
putting up the American flags
in town for quite a few years
now. However, each year some
of them need replacing as they
get torn and damaged.
He puts up 13 flags in late
May or early June. Last year,
he had to replace six of them,
and this year, he’s had to
replace seven.
The flags are not paid for by
the town; Charley takes the
money out of his own pocket,
except for donations he
receives.
He greatly appreciates the
folks who give him money to
help out with buying new flags
each year. Therefore, if anyone
would like to help out with
monetary donations again this
year, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Approximately 40 staf f

He also presented her with a

many ways throughout the
year, as well as doing the
correspondence for the club.
Toward the end of the
evening, the AWANA State
Director, Bob Bennett, spoke
and also presented a ver y

Prior to Pastor Chris

evening’s final prayer, the Red

Jim and Linda Ward, was
proudly announced as the
winning team for the year,
having the most points. They
were awarded a trip to

Pastor’s message was very
good this morning. First he
had the collection by the
youngsters. Then after his
message, the children gave all
the ladies a pink rose. I do
enjoy
watching
the
youngsters. Soon the KFC
(Kids for Christ) will be over.
With this real warm weather
my lilies are really jumping. I
still have all the regular lilies
to feed. I was pulling the mulch
off the other day and moved
one of the landscape logs. The
underside had lots of slugs, so
I quickly put some of the slug
bait down.
The clematis that I have on
the west side of the house are
looking really nice. Now if they
all bloom it will be quite a
show. Even the Trumpet Vine
is rapidly growing. Of course
it is where I don’t want it.
You all know I have been
tr ying to get nice red rhubarb,
and when they start to grow
they turn out to be only part
red. I get some of my green
veggie seed from “The Cook’s
Garden.”
This year while leafing
through the catalog I saw
where they had ‘crimson red’
rhubarb. So I sent for it, and
was so surprised when it
arrived.
That was the biggest root I
have ever gotten. It sure
should do well. I’m anxious to
see that it does.
You know I got shocked the
other day. My feet were feeling
crowded (to put it mildly) in
my regular shoes. I went in to
the shoe store and would you
believe I now need a size and
width larger? Now that was a
surprise. But, my feet sure feel
better.

three years ago. They are not
working like I had envisioned.
So if anyone would care to
come and dig them up, they
are yours.

Mothers, I trust you all had
a lovely day Sunday and that
all your children were able to
make your Mother’s Day
special. For sure the weather
did cooperate, though a little
warm for those of us who can
do without the extreme heat.
My garden is all tilled up
nicely and the garlic planted,
thanks to our son Joe. He is
strong enough that he can use
the Troy-Built horse tiller.

I am hoping I can use the

That is smaller than the Pony.
In the past, I have tilled the
garden with it and of course
done the weeding between the
rows.
With these very warm days
Peter came and put my air
conditioner in. If it is overly
warm, I just cannot sleep. Of
course, Tony loves the heat
and can sleep right on
through. I’m sitting here with
the door open and listening to
the night sounds starting by
the night crowd. The cool air
sure feels good. I see the
weather folk are expecting
normal weather this week. I’m
all for that as I just can’t do
any work in the heat.

day by preparing a delicious
steak dinner for me.

The Charleston Historical
Society will host their first
program of the season on
Sunday, May 17 at 2pm. “The
Fulton-Montgomer y Quilt
Barn Trail.”
Guest speaker is Liz
Argotsinger. The Quilt Barn
Trail is a tourism trail that
visually
connects
the
landscape with the painted
wooden bar n quilt square
mounted on local bar ns,
houses or other structures.
Wooden barn quilt squares
can be based on traditional
patter ns with individual
influences making them
unique to each property and
community.
Currently there are about
70 of these wooden quilt
squares mounted in the two
counties area. Liz is a lifelong
resident of Fulton County and
worked for Frontier for 37
years.
While on a road trip out west,
Liz saw many of these quilt
squares and knew it would be
a great project for this area.
So in the late winter of 2014
the quilt trail was born. For
more information or directions

Updates from Chick and
Barb on their America Loop:
April 29, 2015. Leaving
Deltaville, Virginia at 7:30am.
Very calm in the Chesapeake
today.
We tied up to a mooring ball
here in the Solomon islands.
Yes
another
lear ning
experience.
Just wanted to let ever yone
know we are back in
Pennsylvania, we docked the
boat May 2 in Chesapeake City,
Maryland for a month. We will
start back on the trip June 1;
hopefully the weather will be
warmer then.
While listening to the
weather reports, I didn’t think
of Chick and Barb out in the
ocean and the storms were
right along the coast lines.
Glad they have moored and
hopefully the weather will
become calmer for all who are
experiencing Mother Nature’s
worst.
Ron and I were able to
attend Dair y Car nival’s
opening day last Wednesday.
So many familiar faces and
great food. Actually, was too
full to tr y a new menu item,
Dole Whip. Next time.
Here is a message from the
owner Janie Bowdish Hickey:
I want to take a minute to
wish all the moms out there a
Happy Mother’s Day. I hope
you had a special day. My mom
has been by my side all week.
All those special recipes she’s
teaching me to make it a
success like it used to be. I am
so thrilled to see all those
familiar faces at the window or
enjoying a sit down meal in the
dining area. Many thanks to
all for such a great start.
Mother’s
Day
was
wonder ful spent with Jay,
Deonna and Jensen at
T unniclif f Creamer y in
Richfield Springs.
My always inventive
daughter, Darcy, had called
during the week to have a gift
cer tificate there for me for
Mother’s Day.
Among all the plants they
sell, and so many people
traveling through with their
dogs, it literally was a walk in
the park. Beautiful cards and
calls from Isabella, Alejandro,
and Chloe, Dane, Amanda and
Ron, Jr. It was a special day for
sure.

History Fair last Tuesday at Radez School.

their research
History embraces an incredibly wide range of topics,
and nowhere was that better
displayed than at CobleskillRichmondville’s History Fair
last Tuesday at Radez School.
Students of all ages could
pick their subject––whatever
interested them––and the variety included the Coast
Guard, atomic bomb, Abe
Lincoln, sports heroes and
more.
About 20 students set up
three-fold display boards and
explained their topics to visitors.
Fifth-grader William Miller, obviously a Giants fan,
stands in front of his display.
Gehrig Miller recites
facts about his favorite
ballplayer, Lou Gehrig.
Carrie Balogh describes her display about the Hotel at Kaaterskill to visitors at the Histor y Fair.

but bounced back to top
Canajoharie last week.
The Bulldogs lost 12-3 to
Voorheesville on Wednesday
and 8-3 to Fonda on Friday before
rallying
to
beat
Canajoharie 9-4 on Saturday.
Then, C-R fell 8-1 to Albany
Academy on Monday.
The Academy game saw the
Cadets jump on the Bulldogs
for seven runs in the first two
innings.
The Bulldogs could manage
only three hits, with Zyere
Molinaro, Connor McCarthy
and Ryan Snyder all hitting
singles.
Snyder scored C-R’s only
r un, coming home on
McCarthy’s single in the third.
The Bulldogs also had the
bases loaded with one out in
the third but couldn’t plate any
more runners.
“Academy clinched the
league title with that win, so
there was no letting up on us,”
Bulldog Coach John Henr y
said.
“We had one bad inning,
and after that, we couldn’t get
anything going.”
The Canjo game was a reversal of what’s happened to
the Bulldogs several times earlier this season. They’ve lost in
the last inning––at least once
with two outs––in a couple of
games.
This time, the Bulldogs were
the victors, scoring five runs
after two outs in the seventh to
break a 4-4 tie.
It was a parade of two-out
hits: Nate Phelan and Molinaro
singled, Carmine Consalvo
doubled, Brett Sommers followed with a two-run single,
Joey Campbell doubled and
Devin Lewis singled.
“That’s happened to us this
season,” Coach Henr y said.
“Now we turned it around.”
Earlier, Phelan had an RBI
single, John Hagadorn
doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by McCarthy, Phelan
doubled and scored on a single
by Sommers and Campbell
drove in a run on a sacrifice fly.
McCar thy pitched a complete game, hanging in there
till the Bulldogs pulled ahead
late.
“He gave up two ear ned
r uns, str uck out four and
walked one,” Coach Henr y
said. “It was a good game for a
senior to pitch. He was the
stor y for us other than that
good seventh inning.”
The Bulldogs were down 4-0
to Fonda on Friday before making it a close game.
They came up with three
runs in the bottom of the sixth,
two of those scores coming on
a bad Fonda throw on a double
steal.
“We were right there, knocking on the door,” Coach Henry
said.
But the Braves scored four
in the top of the seventh to seal
the win.
McCar thy singled and
doubled, Snyder and Molinaro
each had a single, and
Hagadorn doubled.
The Bulldogs held a 2-1 lead
over Voorheesville before the
Blackbirds scored nine in the
fifth.
Molinaro had two singles, a
double, two runs and two stolen bases, and Campbell drove
in two runs with two singles.
Sommers had a pair of singles
for the Bulldogs.
Jared Almy started for the
Bulldogs.
“The game was closer than
the score,” Coach Henry said.
“Our kids gave a great effort.”

Sectionals Friday with a win
over Fonda-Fultonville.
Good defense held of f
Fonda’s threats in the first and
second innings as Gianna Cruz
cracked a double to right center in the first, but a strong 96-5 relay from Madelyn Badger to Jolie Barber at third
stopped her from stretching it
to a triple.
“That is something we work
on and it’s nice when it works,”
said Coach Pat Pietrowski.
In the second inning,
Miranda Nethaway would also
double.
Ally Putnam grounded to
Hannah Almy at short; Almy
held the runner at second and
threw the batter out at first.
Reise Manchester had a
strong throw at third to throw
out Nethaway tr ying to advance—ending the Braves’
threat.
C-R scorted three runs in the
Bulldogs’ half of the first inning
on singles by Quesha Sells,
Manchester, Badger, and Barber.
Fonda put a r un on the
board in the third, but C-R
scored two more in the third
on a single by Manchester and
a double by Almy.
Fonda would score one run
each in the fourth and fifth before posting five more in the
sixth.
C-R answered with six runs
of their own in the fifth and that
was all they needed.
“The girls wanted this win,”
Coach Pietrowski said. “It put
us in Sectionals for the first time
since 2010.”
Monday, C-R held Albany
Academy to one r un on the
road,
Almy went 4-for-6 with a
double and three singles, two
RBI and two runs scored and
Badger went 2-for-3, with one
RBI and one run scored.
“Everyone contributed to the
win,” said Coach Pietrowski. “It
was a real team effort.”
In the first inning, AA would
come up with three hits, but a
strong 9-4-2 relay cut down
their lead-of f batter, Rachel
Peterson, trying to score; they
would get their only run in the
third inning on two hits.
Mia DiCaprio singled, advanced to second on a passed
ball, and scored on a single by
Carli Voellm. Kat Weingard
kept them at bay through the
next three innings and Almy
ended the game with an unassisted double play in the seventh.
Last Wednesday, Cobleskill
downed Voorheesville, 9-6, and

Indians rip
D’burg, 10-0
Mayfield zaps MCS;
Knights honor Brown
By David Avitabile
It was an afternoon of tight
defense and stingy pitching as
Mayfield
downed
the
Middleburgh girls 5-0 Thursday.
The teams combined for
only nine hits as the pitchers
dominated on a sparkling afternoon in Middleburgh.
Just as sparkling as the
weather was the defense for
both teams.
Mayfield put runners on first
and second in the top of the
first inning but Middleburgh
first baseman Jenna Brown
snuffed out that rally snaring
a line drive and stepping on
first to complete a double play.
Brown is Middleburgh’s
lone seniors, and was honored
on Senior Day.
In the bottom of the inning,
the Knights’ Bailey Wood
looked like she had a double
down the left field line, but
Mayfield’s third baseman
grabbed the grounder and
threw Wood out.
MCS second baseman Katie
Dobesh ended the second inning snaring a line drive and
then Mayfield’s leftfielder made
a nice running catch in the
bottom of the inning. She then
robbed Wood of an extra base
hit in the third inning with another running catch.
The Knights’ defense was
not as crisp in the fourth inning as Mayfield broke
through with three runs on
only one hit.
Mayfield had one hit and
three walks in the inning and
were helped out by two wild
pitches and an error.
Julie Hampton and Sydney
Benton had two hits each for
Mayfield.
Mayfield’s
Karleigh
VanNostrand limited MCS to
only three hits.

There was only one Saturday night that the Spraker resident was not at Fonda on Saturday night; he was competing
in the Super DIRTcar Series
event at Fulton. Bobby Varin
was the winner on that night.
Varin has been one of the
only drivers that can truly challenge Friesen on any given
night, but Saturday night it was
Friesen that had to do the challenging when Alton Palmer
and Justin Boehler started the
Modified feature on the front
row.
Palmer held the lead for all
but the final circuit. Friesen
had caught the top three by lap
23 when the caution was
thrown for Cory Wilder who
stopped on the backstretch;
Wilder drove off into the pits
when the caution was thrown,
a move that possibly cost
Palmer the race.
Palmer took the lead on the
restart. Friesen, who was now
sitting fourth, got by Gleason
for third. He went on to pass
Boehler for second and then in
turns one and two, Palmer slid
high and Friesen made his
move, getting by the No. 76.
Palmer made a valiant effort in
turn three to get under Friesen
but Friesen came out ahead
and went on to take the
checker, his third of the season
at Fonda.

TERMS OF SALE
PUBLIC SALE OF PROPERTIES
SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2015 - 10:00 A.M. - COUNTY OFFICE BUILDING
1. The bidder shall sign a copy of these Terms of Sale at the time of registration and agrees to be bound by the rules herein. Bidder registration will be open from 8:30 A.M. until 10:00 A.M.
on the date of the sale.
2. The bidder shall, at the time of registration, deposit with the County Treasurer a bank check, certified check, or money order made payable to the Schoharie County Treasurer in the amount
of five hundred dollars ($500). No personal checks or cash will be accepted when registering to bid. If the bidder does not purchase any property, the County Treasurer will return the deposited check back to the bidder.
3. No person, partnership, corporation or lending institution who owned or held title to a given parcel, or was a lienholder on the parcel, immediately prior to the acquisition thereof by the
County of Schoharie, shall be permitted to buy back the said parcel at a price less than all accumulated taxes, interest and penalties. This restriction shall in like manner apply and extend
to: A) any close family member of a person, i.e. parent, child, brother or sister; B) any general or limited partner, investor, officer, employee, or close family member as previously described
involving a partnership; and C) any officer, director, stockholder, employee or close family member of such as previously described involving a corporation. Furthermore, the bidder, at the time
of registration, shall sign a non-collusion certification stating that the bidder is not in collusion with the prior owner of the property, lending institution or lienholder so related or to repurchase
the parcel at a lower price than the actual amount of the delinquent taxes owed on the property. The non-collusion certificate shall remain in effect for a period of six (6) years from the date
of the sale. If, during that time, the County of Schoharie establishes that there has been collusion and/or such a relationship between the successful bidder and the prior owner, lending institution or lienholder, then the successful bidder will be responsible for the difference between the purchase price at the tax sale and the amount of taxes owed by the prior owner at the time of
the said sale, together with interest and attorneys fees to be established by the Court.
4. If any potential bidder owes delinquent taxes to the County Treasurer on one or more parcels located in Schoharie County, that potential bidder will be prohibited from registering as a bidder unless the purpose of the registration is to bid, at a minimum for the full amount of taxes due, on a parcel that the county had taken title to from that potential bidder and is to be included in the auction. Subject to the aforementioned minimum bid, this potential bidder will only be allowed to bid on parcels previously owned by him/her/it. Taxpayers who have entered into
a monthly installment payment agreement, have made at least two payments, and are current with their payments on that contract are not considered to be delinquent, and will be allowed to
bid on properties in this auction. No bids will be accepted from potential bidders currently owing delinquent taxes except under these conditions.
5. In order to eliminate the perception of any possible conflicts of interest, employees of the Schoharie County Treasurers Office; Real Property Tax Office; County Attorneys Office, Board of
Supervisors and County Clerks Office are prohibited from bidding on parcels. Also, all employees of any Abstract and Title companies to which Schoharie County pays a fee are prohibited from
bidding on parcels as well.
6. No representation is made as to the condition or the validity of title to the parcels to be sold, and all or some properties listed in the Notice of Sale may be subject to Town or Village restrictions. Parcels are sold subject to zoning restrictions, covenants, easements, conditions, reservations, existing environmental conditions and agreements, if any. Abstracts of Title and land surveys will not be furnished. Dimensions of parcels are approximate and are not guaranteed. Tax maps do not constitute a survey nor is it intended to be used for conveyance purposes.
7. Ten percent (10%) of the successful bid amount will be required to be paid in cash or good check to the Schoharie County Treasurer at the time and place of sale. The initial $500 deposit
made at the time of registration shall be credited against the 10% down-payment and purchase price. If a successful bid is made but the successful bidder fails to deposit the required balance to make up the 10% down-payment, and/or fails to complete the purchase as herein required, then at a minimum, the successful bidder shall forfeit the $500 registration fee and any
additional down-payment made as the liquidated damages of the County of Schoharie.
8. The County Treasurers Office will give the purchaser a Quit Claim deed describing the real property in the same manner as contained in the Tax Lien deed to the County, and conveying
only such title as the County may have.
9. The successful bidder will, at the time and place of the sale, sign a memorandum of his purchase and an agreement to comply with the terms and conditions of the sale.
10. The County Treasurers Office will send a notice to the successful bidder informing the purchaser of the remaining balance due and the filing fee along with the forms necessary to officially file the new deed. The final date for payment of the balance due, filing fee, and receipt of the signed deed filing forms will be 30 days after the date of the auction. If the successful bidder
neglects to pay the balance due plus filing fee, or neglects to submit the required forms to file the new deed, the 10% deposit is forfeited and the sale is nullified unless the County Treasurer
deems it proper to extend the time for the completion of a particular purchase. In the event that the sale is nullified, the second highest bidder will be contacted and offered the parcel at the
26 - Times Journal May 13, 2015
same amount as the original successful bid.
11. If a successful bidder defaults on a purchase, the County Treasurer reserves the right to exclude them from registering as a bidder in county auctions for a period of three years from the
date of the default. Furthermore, by signing this Terms of Sale contract, the successful bidder is hereby legally obligating themselves to complete the sale process including providing a good
check or cash for the 10% down-payment as well as paying the 90% balance. If a successful bidder defaults on this contract and the county incurs additional expenses and/or subsequently
has to resell the property for a lower amount, he or she may be obligated to reimburse the county for those additional expenses and/or the difference between the original sale price and the
subsequent sale price.
12. The successful bidder is prohibited from taking possession of, exercising any control over, entering, or making any changes to the property or any buildings thereon until the balance due
is paid in full. No harvesting of logs, demolition of structures, or any other changes are allowed prior to payment.
13. The eviction, if necessary, of any rental tenants or prior owners is strictly the responsibility of the successful purchaser of the parcel.
14. No Bills of Sale will be issued by the County Treasurer for any personal property left on the premises; nor for any mobile home, double-wide, modular or any other structure whatsoever,
regardless of same being placed on a permanent foundation.
15. Real Property Taxes will be apportioned as follows: The County assumes liability for all taxes levied prior to the date of the sale, with the exception of any water/sewer relevies which may
be included in either the June 2015 Village Tax bill or the 2016 Town and County tax bill. The purchaser shall be responsible for the June 2015 Village tax bill if the parcel lies within an
incorporated village. However, if the parcel lies within the Village of Cobleskill, the January 2015 village tax bill will be assumed by the County. The purchaser is responsible for any and all
water/sewer delinquencies on tax bills issued after June 1, 2015 even if the utility charge covers a billing period prior to May of 2015, as well as the 2015-2016 School tax bill which comes
due in September, 2015; and all taxes levied from that point forward including any water/sewer relevies included in the 2016 Town and County Tax bill.
16. The buyer of any parcel purchased at a public auction from the County Treasurer is required to pay future years real property taxes in a timely manner. If a purchaser buys a parcel from
one of our auctions, fails to pay future tax bills, and begins to accumulate delinquent taxes on that parcel, the parcel will be subject to a two-year redemption period rather than the normal
four-year redemption period. By signing these terms of sale, the purchaser agrees to pay future property tax bills to the appropriate town, village, or school tax collector during the collection
period specified on the tax bill.
17. If a parcel is landlocked, the county reserves the right to sell that parcel only to adjoining property owners or to a person or organization in possession of a written, legal right-of-way giving them access to said parcel. The County also reserves the right to sell other types of parcels that we deem to be unusable to adjoining property owners as well. Parcels which have been
limited to adjoining owners only must be combined with the purchasers existing adjoining parcel, therefore, the new parcel must be deeded under the same exact name or names as the existing adjoining parcel. The county will announce during the sale whether a parcel has access via a deeded right-of-way or road frontage, but the county is in no way responsible for locating or
finding said right-of-way for the purchaser.
18. If two or more adjoining parcels are sold as one combined auction lot to a successful bidder, the purchaser hereby agrees that those separate parcels will be joined together into one combined tax map parcel. Once the purchase price has been paid in full, Schoharie County will prepare the new deed for joining the multiple parcels together, and the purchaser hereby agrees
to this stipulation and agrees to pay any charges associated with the filing of the new deed.
19. The auctioneer reserves the right to determine the procedures of the sale process and to make adjustments to those procedures if deemed necessary. The standard procedure is that once
the highest bid is achieved, the auctioneer will state going once, going twice, sold. We strongly advise you to visibly hold up your bidder number card to enter your bid. In most cases, the
minimum increment for registering a higher bid will be $100.
20. We will accept written bids for parcels as long as the bidder pre-registers under the same guidelines as all other bidders and the written bid is received before the sale date. In addition,
written bids must be accompanied by a bank check in the amount of 10% of the bid amount. If the written submitted bid is not the high bid during the auction, the bidder registration fee
and 10% down-payment will be returned. If the written bid is successful, the 10% down-payment will be deposited and the bidder registration fee will be returned. Each parcel for which a
written bid is submitted must be accompanied by a separate bank check in the amount of 10% of the bid.
21. The County Treasurer reserves the right to reject any or all bids.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
Schoharie County does not allow last minute redemptions of auction parcels by the prior owner. Each of the parcels listed in the auction brochure is expected to be included in the sale. However,
there are situations where a parcel must be pulled from the sale due to unforeseen circumstances such as a legal action or other complication.
We recommend that you call the Treasurer’s Office at (518) 295-8386 a day or two before the sale to verify that the parcel(s) you are interested in will be included in the auction.
