SIDNEY, NEW YORK — THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013
SUGGESTED PRICE 75¢
Budget Vote is May 21
For Area School Districts
The seven area school districts will hold their annual
votes on proposed school budgets for 2013-14 school year,
the purchase of school buses,
special propositions and to fill
seats on the respective boards
of education. All voting will
take place on Tuesday, May
21 but voting times will vary
by school district.
The economy, pension and
employee health care costs,
unfunded federal and state
mandates and dwindling state
aid have put a great deal of
pressure on school districts as
they strive to provide a quality
education for students while
keeping costs down.
Proposed budgets for the
2013-14 school year in the
various districts reflect efforts to meet student needs
while keeping spending at a
minimum. The proposed increases in the tax levy in each
district is below their tax cap
maximum.
Voters are encouraged to
check their school web site or
to contact their school for specific information. It is important for voters to be informed.
The following is the very
basic information on the vote
in each of our seven local
school districts.
Afton Central School

$15,722,941 for the 2013-14

1.99 per cent.

Amphenol Breaks Ground in Sidney
Laying Foundation for Their Next Era
SIDNEY – A ground breaking ceremony laying the foundation for the next era of Amphenol Aerospace in Sidney
took place at their new site on
Delaware Ave. near the village limits Monday afternoon.
The ceremony was attended
by both Amphenol employees and village, town, state
and federal officials, many of
whom had worked tirelessly
to assure the industry would
remain in the village where its
predecessors had first built a
facility. In its 88 years in the
local area it has not only been
a major employer and supporter of the community, but
become a world leader in the
aerospace business.
Welcoming the many present for the ceremony was
General Manager of Amphenol Aerospace Rick Aiken.
Aiken spoke of the company’s long history in Sidney
going back to the 1920s when
the company’s predecessors
reconstructed the abandoned
Hatfield Automobile Co.,
crediting those visionaries for
facing the challenges of their
day and taking the bold step
of building a new business in
a small village in upstate NY.
He said that from that vision
grew a business that would be
known by many names including Scintilla Magneto, Bendix
Scintilla, Bendix ECD, Allied Signal, LPL and finally
Amphenol.
“This company in Sidney
was critical to the success of
our nation in many endeavors
over the past 88 years,” said
Aiken. “This importance was
never more evident than during World War II, when our
nation and its allies depended
upon Scintilla Magnetos ignition systems for the Allied aircraft. At that time the Scintilla
Magneto Company employed
over 8,500 people, and the
magnetos they manufactured
contributed significantly to
the Allied victory.”
Aiken went on to speak
about “the numerous challenges the company has met since
then including the design and
manufacture of connectors for
the jets utilized in the Korean
War; the design and manufacture of space-capable connectors for every space craft from
Mercury through the present
International Space Station;
the new connector designs for
the helicopters of the Vietnam
War; the Cold War production
ramp up; and the recent manufacture of massive quantities
of connectors to support the
armored vehicles used in the
conflicts in the Middle East.”
“Whatever the challenge,
whether it is on earth, the
moon or Mars, you will find
our products and ideas leading
the way,” said Aiken, crediting
the company and its people
with determination, fortitude
and results that went beyond
expectations.
Aiken noted in the firm’s
88 year history they had employed over 35,000 people, including multiple generations
of families including those
individuals with 50 years of
service.
“We are here today to lay
the foundation for a building
that will allow this legacy to
extend forward for many more
generations of New Yorkers to
come.”
Aiken also spoke of the
challenges that came with the
two floods the area has suffered from in five years time.
“Both times the heroic actions
of our employees restored our
place of business. And both
times the financial strength of
our corporation trumped these
challenges and our corporate
leaders reinvested in our business in Sidney.”
Aiken also spoke of the
“challenges that come with a
changing economy. We are a
part of a larger global economy that proves to be more
competitive than ever.”
Aiken said the challenge
now is to build a new facility that will provide a dry,
dependable workplace for
employees and instill confidence in their customers that
Amphenol will not close due
to flooding again.
Aiken credited many people for their help in undertaking the building project. He
recognized the efforts of the
architect, Highland Associates and Construction Manager, LeChase. He said there
were significant contributions
from many others including
The Chazen Companies, NYSEG, DCEC, NYS DEC, the
US Army Corp of Engineers,
among many others.
“The village, town, county,
A COMMEMORATIVE SHOVEL was signed by the
dignitaries present for the groundbreaking ceremony.
The accompanying plaque read “Amphenol Aerospace
Industrial Operations Breaking Higher Ground.
Presented Feb. 8, 2012 by R. Adam Norwitt, President
and CEO Amphenol Corp.” Shown here signing the
shovel is Congressman Chris Gibson.
A DESIGN of the proposed new facility shows what it
will look like when completed.
state and federal governments all have been extremely
helpful in making this day
possible.”
Also addressing those gathered for the groundbreaking
was Sidney Village Mayor
Andy Matviak.
It was the mayor who spoke
of the village’s monumental concern when in 2011 the
second devastating flood hit
Sidney and while there was
no loss of life in either flood,
the residents and business
community sustained huge
property losses and mental
suffering.
“The day after the flood,
Amphenol Corporation, the
village’s and county’s largest
employer of about 1,000 people, indicated to village officials that they were rebuilding
for the short term but in two
weeks they would be looking
for a new location and Sidney
was probably not the location.
They had sustained damages
of approximately $80M over
the last two floods. They needed a dry land location.
Matviak said that according to school officials, 70 per
cent of their students had one
or two parents working at
Amphenol. “Besides trying to
rebuild our community to get
our residents back into their
homes, we had to convince
Amphenol that the Village of
Sidney was the place where
they should rebuild.”
Matviak said the village had
two weeks to present to Amphenol three locations within
the village that would meet
the needs of staying dry and

BAINBRIDGE – At a special meeting May 8, the Bainbridge Board of Trustees approved a revised method of
disseminating candy and other
gifts by parade participants.
In the past, candy and other
gifts have been tossed from
vehicles, floats, horseback and
from marchers. As a result of
the decision made at the May
8 meeting, anyone wishing
to distribute candy and other
gifts to spectators must do so
from curbside only, not from
the street, and by handing the
items out rather than throwing
them.
In the interest of safety and
in consideration of spectators
and parade participants, the
board felt it best to take a preventive, proactive approach to
the distribution process.
The board members anticipate and appreciate the
full cooperation of all parade
entries.

located at 19 Cartwright Ave.,
offers a good selection of
quality merchandise at what
the owners say are “the lowest

merchandise at the lowest
possible prices and passing
the savings along to their customers. Conklin’s selection includes gifts, tools, toys, novelties, lamps, watches, jewelry,
cookware, electronics and
seasonal merchandise.
This Saturday, May 21,

May 15, 1963
A testimonial dinner honoring Ruth D. White will be held
on Tuesday, May 28 at the
Sidney Senior High School.
Miss White, who is retiring in
June, has been school nurse
since September 1931.
New teachers at the Sidney
Central School include: Rosemary Terry, 2nd grade, Masonville; Robert Hunt, junior high
math; John Brodrick, 5th grade,
Pleasant St.; Sylvia Starr, 2nd
grade, Sidney Center; Mary
Peck, second grade, Pearl St.
Kathleen Hughes, who is
an art student in Mrs. Beulah
Ryon’s seventh grade class at
Sidney, won national recognition for her art in a scholastic
art contest. She is the only
student in the county who was
a prizewinner in the 1963 National Scholastic Art Awards.
The prize was awarded for a
watercolor painting of a street
scene. The same picture was a
gold key winner when it was
displayed at the Scholastic Art
Exhibition held in Binghamton at the Roberson Memorial
Center.
May 12, 1938 - Dr. L.G.
Lewis, president of the Sidney baseball team of the local
league, announces that Sidney
has just completed the construction of good bleachers,
with the capacity of about 400
persons.
May 14, 1913 – The Merchants Retail Protective Association will assist Kayser Factory to obtain more help. The
Kayser Factory is seeking 200
more female workers.
BAINBRIDGE
25 YEARS AGO
May 18, 1988
Tom Beames will be
Officer-In-Charge of Bainbridge Village Police Force
which will be made up of four
part-time police officers.
On May 2, 1988, Charles
Sherman, Sr. completed final
exterior repairs and a new roof
on the cemetery vault house
in the Bainbridge Greenlawn
Cemetery. A repair fund was
begun in August 1985 for this
purpose, and Mrs. Stanley L.
Darling was the first contributor. Built in 1913 by an area
contractor, time and weather
had taken its toll on the vault
house. Because the early type
of blocks could no longer be
found for replacement, a decision was made by the trustees
and the contractor to alter the
front roofline. It was felt less
weathering would take place
to damage the blocks. A row
of tall pine trees was removed
from the right side of the vault
house in September 1985 because the roots of trees and
the heavy shade were causing
structural problems.
BAINBRIDGE
50 YEARS AGO
May 15, 1963
A large canoe race down
the Susquehanna to Bainbridge is the newest event to
be sponsored jointly by the
Cooperstown and Bainbridge
Chamber of Commerce. The
race, run over the same historic site route taken by General
Clinton many years ago in his
rout of the Indians from the
river banks, will include two
portages and an approximate
overall distance of 70 miles.
The Bainbridge Chamber
of Commerce has announced
that it will honor Dr. Edward
Danforth as Bainbridge “Man
of the Year” at a special dinner
on May 22 at the Tall Pines.
Presentation of a Man of the
Year award is an innovation
of the Chamber this year and
they hope that the tradition
will continue.
Bainbridge-Guilford took
all first places last Friday night
at a triangular track meet with
Afton and Chenango Forks.
Bob Weissflog and John Flyzik were triple winners with
Weissflog taking the hurdles,
hop, step and jump and one
leg of the 880 relay. Flyzik
won the 100 yard dash, broad
jump and also was on the 880
relay team. Bob Shea was a
double winner scoring in the
22 yard dash and on one leg of
the 880. B-G took six second
places as well.
May 15, 1913 – Those who
go into Oscar Houck’s bakers and ice cream room in the
Prince Block will tread upon a
new floor laid by Slim Bennett
and John Sweet. It is a great
improvement.
UNADILLA
25 YEARS AGO
May 18, 1988
Martin Brook Park will
open for the 1988 season on
Saturday, May 28, and if all
goes according to schedule,
the new bridge to the park will
be in use. Work on the new
bridge entrance was started
last week by the Unadilla Village crew with an assist from
the Town of Unadilla.
The Unadilla Village Board
gave the Unadilla Planning
Board the go-ahead to pursue
developing part of the village
into an historic district.
Unatego Central School
students Joseph Kaffko and
William Foley will attend the
Rotary Youth Leadership conference this summer.
Friends of Louise M. Oles
and the Board of Trustees of
the Unadilla Library joined
their efforts to present the
1988 edition of “The World
Book Encyclopedia” to the
library in her memory. Mrs.
Oles was librarian at the library from 1967 until August
1986, dedicated in her service
to the library and its patrons.
UNADILLA
50 YEARS AGO
May 15, 1963
The proposed merger between the Unadilla and Otego
school districts is a little closer
to reality. More than 70 percent of the qualified voters in
Unadilla and Otego School
districts have signed petitions
requesting State Commissioner of Education James
Allen to lay out the proposed
new school district. The issue
involves the construction of
a new $1,750,000 Junior-Senior High School in the Wells
Bridge area.
Burl Bachman and William
Wormsley have been chosen
to represent Unadilla at Boys
State this year.
Just to complete suggestions about a hospital stay:
• If two CAT scans of chest
or abdomen are scheduled,
ask if one or the other will
do, if an MRI or other imagery which do not involve
radiation will do, and ask
for an explanation of anything being done to you
that you don’t understand.
• If you are taking heartburn
drugs, have diabetes, or
another chronic disease,
ask before surgery if you
are at special risk from infection, and make sure if
any of your regular drugs
should be discontinued.
• It’s always a good idea
when dealing with your
important health issues
to have a friend or family
member with you to remember what you may forget, or ask for an explanation of what is not clear. If
you don’t have that, don’t
be afraid to ask over and
over until you understand.
Communication is vital
and doctors and hospitals
are often not very good at
it. Once when our emergency squad had taken me
in for readmission after a
surgery, my (very good)
doctor said I had a clot on
the lungs which was potentially fatal, and we had
all gone white with shock
when he finally and cheerfully added, “But we have
a new medicine which almost always works.”
So sante, salud, good health
and all the best of it.
After all this cautionary advice you may possibly feel the
need for a beer, or more than
one. In this you will be following a long tradition. A recipe
for beer has come down to us
from 4,000-year-old Sumer
(on the Tigris and Euphrates)
and it was probably around
much earlier than that. The
pyramids were built on beer,
almost four quarts a day per
worker. They needed it to hydrate them under the hot sun,
and beer was a lot safer than
polluted Nile water. In the
Middle Ages, too, you would
probably live longer if you
drank beer instead of the water (no sanitary disposal of
waste but the creek or river).
But be careful how much. A
60 percent blood alcohol content kills germs, but may also
kill you.
A lot of other creatures like
beer, too – dogs, bears and
even ants. Among the ants, if
one of the nest over imbibes
and passes out, his fellows pick
him up and carry him home to
sleep it off. But if the drunk is
from another nest, they throw
him out to get eaten or sober
up on his own.

UNADILLA HEAD START representative, Shannon

Tri-Town Kiwanis Donates
Books to Unadilla Head Start
UNADILLA – A happy
“chore” for members of the
Tri-County Kiwanis Club
was to look through their own
boxes and bins for books they
no longer use. The members
(and friends of the club) collected pre-school age books
for a special group of young
listeners, the Unadilla Head
Start program.
Seeing Babar, Curious
George and Mother Goose
brought back memories of
bedtime stories and learning
to read times with our own
children. It is a pleasure to donate to the Unadilla Head Start
program; knowing the gift of
reading is key to the development of young minds.
SIDNEY - The Tri-Town
Theatre will hold open auditions for their summer production of The Foreigner May 22
and 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. The
try-outs will be held at the new
Tri-Town Theatre facility in
the Masonic Temple on Union
Street in Sidney. The show
calls for a cast of five men and
two women, plus extras. The
extras can be doubled by the
main characters in the play.
The cast includes Sgt. “Froggy” LeSueur a middle aged
English explosive expert and
his partner Charlie Baker (The
Foreigner), also English and
about the same age as “Froggy.” The cast also includes
Betty Meeks, an elderly southern widow, Catherine Simms,
an heiress, Ellard Simms her
slightly dim brother, the Rev.
David Marshall Lee, Catherine’s fiancé and Owen Musser, the local redneck. Actors
playing “Froggy” and Charlie
should have English accents,
the rest of the cast southern
drawls.
The production is currently
scheduled for the weekend of
August 16, 17 and 18 at a yet
to be determined venue, and is
being directed by Rich Cuthbertson. If you have any questions about the show, or the
Tri-Town Theatre you can call

SIDNEY - ABC Center for
Performing Arts will be offering another wonderful summer program that will include
a variety of exciting experiences and opportunities. We
will again offer both summer
classes and camps that will
give students the opportunity to learn various styles
of dance, as well as learning
about nutrition, dance history
and terminology and music
theory. They will have the
chance to work with some talented guest artists, along with
ABC instructors. Camps and
classes are open to all and we
welcome both new and returning students.
Our camps will run July 812, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. for our mini
dancers ages 6-9; July 15-19,
9 a.m.-3 p.m. for our junior
dancers ages 9-13; and July
22-26, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. for our
senior dancers ages 13-18.
Our summer classes will be
held on Tuesdays, July 23, 30
and August 13 and 20. We will
offer our popular pre-dance
class from 4:15-5 p.m. for
ages 4-6; creative movement
from 5-5:30 p.m. for ages 2-4;
and our summer sampler from
5:30-6:15 p.m. for ages 7-12.
Our summer sampler will include hip-hop, tumbling, musical theatre and tap. Summer
is a great time to try out something new or to continue to
work and improve your craft.
We are very excited about our
summer program and look forward to working with all of the
students.
ABC center for Performing
Arts would like to thank the
community for all of their support over the last 20 years. You
have supported our dancers in
so many ways, by attending
our many performances and
cheering us on, attending our
fundraisers and helping us
collect truckloads of food for
the local food pantries, helping us raise money for MS
and for Relay for Life. We feel
honored to be able to use our
talents to not only entertain
people, but to also help our
communities. With your help,
we have raised approximately
$25,000 for Relay for Life and
$2,500 for MS.
We would also like to give
a special thank you to Denise
Tabone for being part of our
team and volunteering her services to help us raise money
for Relay again this year. Denise gave massages for six
hours non-stop during our
local Relay for Life event at
our Awareness Beats Cancer
Dancers tent. It got very cold
that evening, but that didn’t
stop Denise! She also, with
the help of her mom and dad,
made a beautiful banner that
people could sign in honor or
in memory of a loved one for
a free will donation to Relay.
The kids all had a great time
at Relay for Life and appreciate everyone’s participation
and support. A big thank you
also to our team leader, Lori
Burns, for all of the time and
hard work she put in to make it
another great event for us.
ABC students have been invited to perform this Saturday
at the Great Strides, Cystic Fibrosis walk in Sidney. We are
looking forward to performing
for this event and encourage
people to come out and support this cause.

by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
MAY 2013
Today I went to Staples on Upper Front
Street in Binghamton to buy correctible
film ribbon for my Brother Correctronic
Electronic typewriter. Previously I owned
a Smith Corona Display Dictionary typewriter and before that a portable SpellRight Dictionary typewriter. Unfortunately,
the Smith Corona Company went out of
business after many years and I can no
longer buy ribbon for my model.
A couple of years ago, I was given a
computer by a friend when she got a new
one. I was using it to write my articles for
An electronic typewriter. Picture form
the Tri-Town News. My problem is that I
“Encyclopedia Britannica,” 1967.
never had any typing lessons. If you hit
a wrong key on a computer, it registers
immediately. I had an article all finished and hit what I thought was the “save” key.
Instead, the whole thing was wiped out.
I went back to my typewriter. My friend’s son needed a computer, so I gave it back
to her.
Several years ago, Tom Vail was sorting things stored in the old part of NBT in
Afton. Among old equipment were several typewriters of various vintage which he
donated to the Afton Museum. They are among six models now displayed on the
shelves in the entry room. A seventh model was not identifiable.
The first was an L.C. Smith & Corona. Next was an R.C. Allen Vizomatic. An
Olivetti was a Line A88 model. The Royal model was a Quiet DeLuxe. There were
two Remingtons — a Paragon and a Remington Portable. These covered a wide
range in age. Today in the NBT all such printing is done by computer and it takes
but minutes to look something up and have it printed out. Of course, someone has
to enter the information beforehand.
Inventors tried to make a practical typewriter in the 1700s and 1800s. In 1867
Carlos Glidden, Christopher Sholes, and Samuel Soule made the first practical
one and patented it in 1868. In 1874, E. Remington and Sons put the machine on
the market. Soon other companies began to make them. The first successful portable typewriter was made in the early 1900s. Electric typewriters appeared in the
1920s.
When I was in high school, Maude Short was the business teacher and taught
typing. French III and typing both were taught during the same period of the day. I
chose French III. Typing would have been a better choice.

MT. UPTON - On Sunday, May 5, the Mt. Upton
United Methodist Church left
the building. After a short
prayer and announcement
session, the congregation put
on gloves, grabbed a garbage
bag, carried rakes and went up
and down main street from the
church and picked up litter and
debris that marred our beautiful village. A group also went
to the village park and did the
same there. We were blessed
to have the help of local Girl
Scouts and their leaders also.
From the very beginning,
humans were appointed to be
the caretakers of all God created, from the plants, animals,
water, sky and each other, to
be good stewards. Being a
good steward requires us to
be caring, compassionate in-
formed thinkers. Each of us is
called to do our part.
With Earth Day, last month
and NY state- Clean the Park
Day- the congregation decided to do their part. In just
the short one hour period, we
collected over 10 bags of trash
and debris.
All enjoyed a small lunch
when we were done.

Geraldine Bailey
SOUTH NEW BERLIN Geraldine Bailey, 79, of South
New Berlin, passed away Sunday, May 5, 2013, in the Norwich Rehab and Nursing Center of Norwich.
Geraldine’s family, faith and
church sustained her throughout her life. She was born Dec.
13, 1933 in Norwich where she
was raised and attended the
Norwich schools. At the age
of 19, she went to work for the
Norwich Knitting Mill where
she worked for over 30 years
until her retirement. After the
passing of her husband Louis,
she moved back to Norwich
where she has made her home
for the past seven years. Her
love of people led her to a second career working in quality
care for people in their homes.
Geraldine’s family and faith
was everything to her which
guided her to be a wonderful
mom and grandma. Over the
years she had been a faithful
member of the Presbyterian
Church of Gilbertsville and the
First Baptist Church of Norwich. She was a person who
enjoyed the simple things in
life and just enjoyed watching
the world go by, a trait that is
difficult to find today. One of
her simplest joys was to watch
and collect hummingbirds, she
could spend hours watching
them feed. A quiet person in
many ways, she enjoyed rides
in the country, taking trips with
her late husband Louis to Niagara Falls, Bermuda and frequent trips to the Amish Country in Pennsylvania. She also
enjoyed watching her soap operas on a daily basis, Bonanza
and Gunsmoke with James Arness being her favorite actor.
Geraldine loved to eat out.
Aside from being an excellent
cook herself with her specialties mac and cheese and baked
beans, she enjoyed going to
Pizza Hut and dining at the Old

Amphenol Breaks Ground
providing space for a 260,000
sq. ft. facility. They could not
do it alone and called on many
from the county, state and
federal levels to partner with
them to make it a reality. The
decision was made in late November of 2011 to rebuild in
Sidney. “Finally all our residents were notified that they
would be part of our village
moving forward.”
“It’s taken another 15
months of challenges for the
groundbreaking ceremony to
take place. It’s very difficult
to put into words what this
means to the Village of Sidney, our surrounding villages,
towns, counties and New York
State.”
The mayor emphasized
that this would not have been
possible without a lot of help
from government officials at
all levels and Amphenol Corporation and their employees.
He mentioned in particular the
Delaware County IDA, New
York State and the federal
government.
He also credited Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Senator Charles
Schumer, Congressman Chris
Gibson, State Senator John
Bonacic, Assemblyman Pete
Lopez, Chairman of the Delaware County Board of Supervisors Jim Eisel, Town of
Sidney Supervisor Bob McCarthy, Amphenol’s Gary Anderson and Rick Aiken and the
Amphenol employees and Executive Director of the Delaware Co. IDA Glenn Nealis.
“I want to thank everyone
involved in this project for all
their time and effort in making this project a reality,” concluded Mayor Matviak.
Several of the other special guests also spoke briefly
about the partnership that has
had such a positive result for
Sidney and the area.

With a stroke, time matters.
We give you more of it.
When it comes to stroke care, not every
hospital is the same.
Until recently, the primary treatment for
stroke was a drug called tPA, which must be
administered within three hours of the onset
of stroke symptoms. Now, only at UHS, a
neurovascular specialist can perform an intraarterial tPA — a sophisticated procedure that is
effective up to six hours after a stroke attacks.

Village of Sidney Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2012
21 Liberty Street Sidney, NY 13838
INTRODUCTION
To comply with State and Federal regulations, the Village of Sidney annually issues a report describing the quality of your drinking
water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of
drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking
water sources. Last year, your tap water met all New York State
drinking water health standards. This report provides an overview
of last year’s water quality. Included are details about where your
water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State
standards.
We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you
have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking
water, please contact Shane Nordberg, Chief Water Operator (607)
561-2330.
WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM?
In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs,
and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through
the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick
up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water
include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink,
New York State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the
amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water
systems. The State Health Department’s and the FDA’s regulations
establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Water for the Village of Sidney is supplied by two well supplies.
The Village also has two reservoir supplies currently not in use but
available for backup if needed.
Primary Well – Developed in 1988. This is our primary water
supply and pumps at a rate of 780-800 gallons per minute. An 800
gallon per minute pump restriction was placed on this well due to
the proximity of the former Amphenol lagoons.
Secondary Well – Developed in 1946. This well is our secondary supply and is exercised but generally is not pumped for any
extended periods of time. It has a pumping capacity of 425 gallons
per minute. (The water from this well tends to have a higher manganese content than our primary well).
Storage Tank – The Village of Sidney has one in-system storage
tank constructed of prestressed concrete with a storage capacity of
2 million gallons.
Additional Storage – The Village of Sidney has two upland reservoir systems as standby storage with capacities of 86 million and
45 million gallons.
We are fortunate to have a very prolific aquifer capable of furnishing about 4 times our normal water requirement, although we
have had some problems with manganese, a naturally occurring
dissolved metal very similar to iron with associated problems of
staining and black particles in water that are considered a nuisance
but not a health concern.
FACTS AND FIGURES
The Village of Sidney Water System serves a population of approximately 3,900 residents in the Village of Sidney and portions
of Riverside, East Guilford and adjacent areas. There are approximately 1,500 service connections including residential, commercial and industrial customers. The total water produced in 2012
was 227,562,000 gallons. The daily average of water treated and
pumped into the distribution system from our primary and/or secondary well is 619,200 gallons per day. Our highest single day usage
was 1,108,000 gallons. Water usage included all water furnished for
consumption, fire flows and losses. Because water usage for Village
residential customers is not metered, the amount of losses in the
system is unknown. In 2001 the water rate was lowered by 5% the
flat rate per unit was $25.41 per quarter and the metered rate was
$2.032 per 1000 gallons. Those rates remained constant in 2002,
2003, and 2004. In 2005 the flat rate increased to $27.95 per unit,
and the metered rate went to $2.236 per 1000 gallons. Those rates
remained constant in 2006, and 2007. In 2008 the flat rate increased
to $34.10 per unit and the metered rate went to $2.728 per 1000 gallons. In 2010 the flat rate increased to $36.85/quarter per unit and
the metered rate went to $2.948 per 1000 gals. The typical annual
flat rate charge for a residential water customer is $147.40 billed in
equal quarterly installments of $36.85 and remained the same rates
in 2011 and 2012.
WATER TREATMENT
Our water system includes a treatment facility which treats water
from our primary well or secondary well or both. Controls are capable of handling variable flow rates automatically. Treatment consists of:
• Sequestering – to control manganese. Sequestering also has
the effect of providing corrosion control.
• Fluoridation – to adjust the fluoride level from a natural level
of less than 0.2 ppm to 1.0 part per million.
• Chlorination using liquid chlorine – Controls include automatic pacing of chlorine added, based on water flow rate, automatic analysis for monitoring the end result, and alarms with
a dialer system to warn if levels are not within acceptable limits. The chlorine level at the treatment facility is 1.2 ppm. We
are required to maintain a residual of 0.2 ppm throughout the
system.
ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING
WATER?
The Village of Sidney performs all testing as required by New
York State regulations. We routinely test your drinking water for
numerous contaminants. The water system is operated by and samples are collected and processed by New York State licensed operators. Samples are analyzed at our laboratory and at NYS certified
commercial laboratories.
Daily testing consists of:
1. Chlorine Residual – twice per day to verify the disinfection system operation.
2. Fluoride – to monitor our adjusted fluoride level, and
3. pH
Monthly testing consists of:
1. 6 samples for coliform bacteria
2. Manganese levels (voluntary).
3. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) which include solvents
and cleaning fluid compounds such as TCE (trichloroethylene),
Cis 1,2 dichloroethylene, chloroform, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, trihalomethanes, and MTBE (methyl-tert-butyl-ether,
a gasoline additive).
We test for 54 compounds in this group. Maximum contamination levels (M.C.L.’s) are 5 ppb (parts per billion) of each item. Of
these, typically we have no detection of 52 of these compounds.
In the past we have generally detected TCE levels from 1.0 to
2.0 parts per billion and Cis 1,2 dichloroethylene at levels from 0.9
to 2.0 parts per billion at our primary well. In 2012, the monthly
average for TCE was 1.95 ppb. The monthly average for Cis 1,2
dichloroethylene was 1.55 ppb. These levels have been historically
very consistent. In 2001 we detected benzene in 1 of the 12 samples
at a level of 0.9 ppb. In 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 benzene was
not detected in any sample and has not been detected since 2005. In
2005 we detected bromodichloromethane (a byproduct of chlorination for disinfection), in 1 of the 12 samples at a level of 0.73 ppb.
In 2006 we detected bromodichloromethane in 1 of 12 samples at
a level of 0.9 ppb and Chlorobromomethane in 2 of 12 samples at
levels of 0.51 ppb and 1.0 ppb. In 2008 we had no detection of bromodichloromethane, or Chlorobromomethane. In 2008 we detected
Chloromethane (also a byproduct of chlorination for disinfection)
in 1 of 12 samples at a level of 0.8 ppb. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, we
had no detection of bromodichloromethane, Chlorobromomethane,
Chloromethane.
The greatest concern with respect to these items is whether they
would increase to exceed acceptable limits. Groundwater studies of
flows, flow directions and groundwater qualities are ongoing.
Quarterly testing consists of:
Quarterly tests for VOC’s are performed on our secondary well
(standby well) with results similar to our primary well.
Annual testing consists of:
Nitrate – 2012 result = 1150 ug/l (MCL 10,000 ug/l)
Manganese: The latest certified manganese sampling was above
the MCL for manganese. This MCL is considered to be based on
aesthetics rather than on a health risk.
The Village adds a sequestering agent to the water (health department approved) to help control the effects of manganese in the
water (i.e.; black flakes and staining); the Village performs monthly
sampling to further monitor manganese levels. This process testing
has indicated that levels of manganese in the last year may be as
high as 0.495 ppm (495 ppb) with an average of 0.329 ppm (329
ppb).
3 year testing consists of:
1. 20 samples for lead (2010 result) - 20 samples were tested for
lead with none exceeding the action level of 0.015 mg/l.
2. 20 samples for copper (2010 result) - 20 samples were tested for
copper with 90 % being less than 426 ug/l (AL-1300 ug/l)
3. Synthetic Organic Compounds (SOC’s) – 2010 result including
pesticides – no detection.
4. Inorganic Compounds Group I & II and sodium & corrosivity.
The Village is required to perform 3-year testing of inorganic
compounds Group I and II, which include manganese. The
village has elected to perform annual certified testing of these
items which results are reported in the appendix.
5. Total Haloacetic Acids – 2012 result = <1.6 ug/L (MCL 60
ug/L)
6. Trihalomethanes – 2012 result 6.7 ug/l (MCL 100 ug/l)
9 year testing
Radiological & Radon:
Radiological testing was performed in 2010. The results were
Gross Alpha 2.28 +/- 1.02 pCi/l, which has an MCL of 15 pCi/l
Gross Beta 4.03 +/-1.03 pCi/L (MCL of 15), MCL of 5 pCi/l.
The Village of Sidney is continuing voluntary testing for Radon,
Radium 226, and Radium 228 on an annual basis. The current NYS
Health Department requirement is testing every 9 years. In the year
2011, we collected 1 sample for radon. The result was 488.5 pCi/l.
(see “Information on Radon” later in this report). One sample was
processed for Radium 226 with a result of 0.12 pCi/l, and 1 sample
for Radium 228 with a result of 0.17 pCi/l, Compared to 825.2 pCi/
l, 0.19, and 0.52 pCi/l respectively in 2011.
In 2004 additional testing conducted by the U.S.
Department of the Interior throughout the Upper
Susquehanna River Basin consisted of a wide range of elements and
chemicals including nutrients, trace metals, common anions and
cations, volatile organic compounds and Radon 222. Radon 222
was detected at a level of 1050 pCi/l. No mcl has been established
for Radon at this time. A complete list of the analytes detected, and
their detection limits is on file and can be viewed at the Village
Clerk’s office in the Sidney Civic Center 21 Liberty Street.
It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled
drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least
small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.
More information about contaminants and potential health effects
can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline
(800-426-4791) or the NYS Department of Health, Oneonta District Office (607-432-3911).
DEFINITIONS
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to
the MCLG’s as feasible.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a
contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or
expected health risk. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety.
Action Level(AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if
exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water
system must follow.
Non-Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.
Milligrams per liter (mg/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in
one million parts (parts per million – ppm).
Micrograms per liter (ug/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in
one billion parts (parts per billion – ppb).
Picocuries per liter (pCi/l): A measure of radioactivity in water.
WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN?
As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We
have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been
detected; however, these contaminants were detected below New
York State requirements. Trichloroethylene (TCE) was detected
but below the MCL. It was detected in our primary well and our
secondary well at the average of 1.95 ppb and .95 ppb respectively.
Cis 1,2 Dichloroethylene was also detected but below the MCL.
It was detected in our primary well and our secondary well at the
average of 1.55 ppb, and .93 respectively. The likely source of this
type of contamination is through discharge from industrial factories or metal degreasing sites. The source of these low levels of
contamination has been identified and an action plan has been established through the combined effort of the Village of Sidney, The
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, The NYS Department of Health and the local industry believed to be responsible
for the contamination. This action plan is on file at the Sidney Civic
Center and may be implemented if the contaminants were to reach
the MCL during a testing period.
IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER
REGULATIONS THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS?
During 2012, our system was in compliance with all applicable
State drinking water requirements (except manganese) See manganese under “annual testing” and “system improvements planned”. A
supplement to this report containing analytical testing results from
samples collected from the Village of Sidney water supply is available for inspection at the Village Engineer’s Office. For additional
information on the Village of Sidney Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2006, please contact John J. Woodyshek, Village Engineer, 21 Liberty Street, Sidney, New York 13838 (607)561-2324.
CRYPTOSPORIDIUM AND GIARDIA
INFORMATION
New York State law requires water suppliers to notify their customers about the risk of cryptosporidium and giardia. Cryptosporidosis and giardiasis are intestinal illnesses caused by microscopic
parasites. Cryptosopridiosis can be very serious for people with
weak immune systems, such as chemotherapy, dialysis or transplant
patients, and people with Crohn’s disease or HIV infection. People
with weakened immune systems should discuss with their health
care providers the need to take extra precautions such as boiling
water, using a certified bottled water or a specialty approved home
filter. Individuals who think they may have cryptosporidiosis or
giardiasis should contact their health care provider immediately.
For additional information on cryptosporidiosis or giardiasis, please
contact the NYS Department of Health, Oneonta District Office at
(607) 432-3911 to obtain detailed fact sheets or call the DOH Duty
Officer at 1-866-881-2809 during non-office hours.
The Village of Sidney obtains all of its water from drilled wells.
As the Health Department fact sheets note:
• Properly drilled and maintained wells that use ground water are
generally protected from surface contamination and are UNLIKELY to contain cryptosporidiosis or giardiasis.
INFORMATION ON RADON
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soil and
outdoor air that may also be found in drinking water and indoor air.
Some people exposed to elevated radon levels over many years in
drinking water may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Radon can enter indoor air from soil under homes. The main risk to
persons exposed to radon through indoor air is lung cancer. There
currently is no MCL for radon. For additional information call the
NYS Radon Program (1-800-458-1158) or call EPA’s Radon Hotline (1-800-SOS-Radon).
DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL
PRECAUTIONS?
Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal
regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with
cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system
disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from
infections. These people should seek advice from their health care
provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium,
Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Note: Water customers who are on home dialysis should contact
the Village of Sidney at 561-2330 in order to be placed on our water
prioritization list.
WATER CONSERVATION
Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet
present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is
important to conserve water:
• Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated
with both of these necessities of life.
• Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water
and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems
and water towers; and
•Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry
spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so
that essential fire fighting needs are met.
Water metering is generally considered the first step toward water conservation. Industrial, commercial and some multi-family
residences are metered. Single family residences are not metered.
You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious
of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for
ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water.
Conservation tips include:
• Checking inside faucets for leaks. Even a faucet with a small
drip can waste a lot of water.
• Keeping showers to five minutes or less in length, or by taking
baths.
• Turning off the water when brushing your teeth.
• Installing water saving shower heads or flow restrictors.
• Keeping a pitcher of water in the refrigerator, so you won’t have
to run the tap to cool it.
• Using Automatic dishwashers and clothes washers for full loads
only.
• Checking your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food
coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color
shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100
gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks.

Water System events during flood
of June 2006
Flood waters shutdown Wells 2-88 and 1-46 and the Treatment
Building approximately 2 AM Thursday June 29, 2006. The water
tank was then used to supply the Village until noon of 6-29-06 when
it was shut off and the Pinehill Reservoir supply was brought on
line with chlorination and a boiled water notice. A spare motor was
located and installed on well 2-88 and put back on line July 3, 2006,
Pinehill Reservoirs were shut off, and the water tank turned back
on. The boiled water order stayed in effect until July 12, 2006 when
a series of bacteria tests indicated the water to be safe for human
consumption. The boiled water order remained in effect until July
19, 2006 for customers north of the Guilford Creek due to replacing
the 6” water line that had been washed out from the flood. Except
for a few customers in East Guilford, at no time were any Village of
Sidney water customers without water during or after the flood.
Water System events during Flood
of September 2011
Due to flooding NYSEG shut down the power at approximately
11 a.m. on September 8, 2011 shutting down the well supply. The
water tank was then used to supply the Village until 3:50 p.m. on
September 9, 2011 when the tank was shut off due to low water and
the Pine Hill reservoir supply was brought on line with chlorination
and a Health Dept. boil water order. NYSEG power came back on
at 8 p.m. on September 10, 2011, Well 2-88 was turned back on,
the water tank was brought back on line and Pine Hill Reservoir
supply was turned off. The boil water order remained in effect until
September 14, 2011 when the second round of bacteria samples
indicated the water to be safe for human consumption. Numerous
water services in the flooded areas had to be turned off. The water
supply overall was not disrupted.
SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED OR
PLANNED
Manganese removal system: The village is currently performing a feasibility study for removal of manganese and intends in
2012 to pursue treatment of manganese removal.

Performed a leak detection study throughout the Village water system in 1999. During this study, 18 leaks were identified.
These leaks consisted of fire hydrant leaks, valve leaks and
service leaks with an estimated total daily leakage of 120,000
gallons per day. Repairs were made accordingly. In 2000 we
located and corrected more leaks in the distribution system totaling in excess of 200,000 gallons per day.
Rehabilitation of our primary well in December 2012. In 2012
the specific capacity had reduced to less than 60% of its original
specific capacity (a measure of the potential output of the well).
Following rehabilitation, the specific capacity was returned to
nearly the original specific capacity of the well.
Performed vibration analysis on our primary well pump and
motor. In 2006, vibration was found to be within acceptable
limits.
Developed a water system security plan to minimize the risk of
accidental or intentional disruption at our facilities and updated
our Emergency Response Plan in 2012.
Upgraded the chlorination system in 2002 – Replaced the gas
chlorination system with a liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) system for improved safety.
Installed a security gate on our primary well supply and Treatment Building.
Replaced 5 fire hydrants under our replacement program in
2003, 5 fire hydrants in 2004 and 6 fire hydrants in 2008, 4 in
2009, 1 in 2010, 1 in 2011 and 2 in 2012.
Rebuilt portions of Pine Hill #3 Reservoir spillway and Peckham Reservoir spillway in 2003.
Installed a new valve on Peckham Reservoir transmission line
at the reservoir discharge in 2005.
Installed a blowoff valve for Pine Hill #2 Reservoir in 2005.
Installed a security and fire alarm system at the treatment building in 2005.
Well #2-88 (primary well) underwent rehab in 2005, 2008,

Took emergency protective measures to repair the spillway
and embankment of the Peckham Reservoir following the June
2006, and September 2011 Flooding
Took emergency protective measures to repair the broken 10”
water line and secure a 200 ft. section of the water line coming
from Peckham Reservoir, better secured the 6” water line crossing Guilford Creek, covered a 10 ft. section of 16” water line
coming from the water tank, and replaced a section of culvert
pipe and back filled over the 12” water main that runs under Rt.

Sidney Village Water System
NY1200270
AWQR Summary
The NYS DOH has completed a source water assessment for this
system, based on available information. Possible and actual threats
to the drinking water sources were evaluated. The state source water
assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed
by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the subsurface to the wells.
The susceptibility rating is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water
delivered to consumers is, or will be contaminated. While nitrates
(and other inorganic contaminants) were detected in our water, it
should be noted that all drinking water including bottled drinking
water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts
of some contaminants from natural sources. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health
risk. The nitrate levels present in our sources is not considered high
for this area. Organic contaminants have also been detected in our
sources and are related to existing hazardous waste sites. We continue to work with the appropriate agencies to ensure the impacts to
our water sources are minimal. See section “Are there contaminants
in our drinking water?” for a list the contaminants that have been
detected.
As mentioned before, our water is derived from 2 drilled wells.
The source water assessment has rated these wells as having a high
susceptibility to microbials, nitrates, industrial solvents, and other
industrial contaminants. These ratings are due primarily to the close
proximity of permitted discharge facilities (industrial/commercial
facilities that discharge wastewater into the environment and are
regulated by the state and/or federal government), low intensity
residential activities, chemical bulk storage facilities, and hazardous waste sites within the assessment area. In addition, the well(s)
draws from an unconfined aquifer of unknown hydraulic conductivity. While the source water assessment rates our well(s) as being
susceptible to microbials, please note that our water is disinfected
to ensure that the finished water delivered to your home meets New
York State’s drinking water standards for microbial contamination.
A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area,
can be obtained by contacting the Village Clerk’s Office at (607)
561-2324.

and fine imposed on Thursday, May 9 by the Delaware
County Court on a convicted
Walton drug trafficker.
Benjamin C. Ildefonso,
32, of Walton, was sentenced
by Judge John F. Lambert in
Delaware County Court to
serve three consecutive, four
year prison sentences after being convicted, after trial, on
three class C felony charges of
fourth degree criminal sale of
a controlled substance. Ildefonso was also ordered to pay
a $3,000 fine as well as restitution to the Delaware County
Sheriff’s Office, a court surcharge, DNA fee and Crime
Victim Assistance fee.
Ildefonso was arrested in
the Village of Walton in June,
2012 and charged with three
counts of fourth degree criminal sale of a controlled substance following an investigation conducted by members of
the Delaware County Sheriff’s
Office and Walton Village Police Department.
The consecutive prison
sentences imposed on Ildefonso clearly demonstrates
that trafficking of narcotics in
Delaware County may result
in significant prison sentences
and fines and should serve as
a deterrent to those who seek
to profit from poisoning the
streets, residents and communities of Delaware County.
Undersheriff Craig DuMond stated, “We will continue to work tirelessly to
eradicate narcotics dealers
from our towns and villages
in an effort to make life in
Delaware County safe, peaceful and conducive to attracting
business and raising families…the Sheriff and I are
extremely proud of the hard
work performed by our Criminal Investigation Division and
will continue to work closely
with our partners in all police
agencies as well as the District Attorney’s Office in this
endeavor.”

Church Invites Public to See
Film on the Holy Land May 24
EAST GUILFORD - The
East Guilford Presbyterian
Church is having an evening
of entertainment on Friday,
May 24 for members and the
public. We would like to invite anyone interested in seeing video and information
on the Holy Land to join us
for an evening of food and
fellowship.
We will start the evening
with a covered dish supper
at 6 p.m. Then as soon as we
are through with the food and
fellowship, 7 p.m. or shortly
after, we will show the video
taken by David and Kathy
Williams on their recent trip
to Israel. It should be very
interesting. With all the news
coming out of Israel in our
times, it’s hard to believe that
Christianity could have started
in that area.
Come and join us for an
evening of good food and
great entertainment.

lewd she can be so he begs her
to behave when they arrive.
Soon Nick, Virgil Briggs
and Honey, Jen Castle arrive
and feel at ease as soon as they
enter the home and realize
they are quickly caught in the
middle of a verbal war zone.
They try very hard to engage
in small talk but it sets off
the volley of insults between
George and Martha. Soon
Nick realizes they are both
embroiled in the middle of a
marital warfare and expresses
that they should go home but
George insists they stay.
Nick and George talk about
their wives and the possibility
of having children, Nick then
shares that Honey had a hysterical pregnancy, which leads
you to believe that is why
they are married. George then
shares a story about him visiting a gin mill with a school
classmate. He shares that the
friend kills his mother accidentally and the father is killed
while driving, the classmate
is committed to an asylum
and never speaks again. Soon
the men are at odds and have
words. They rejoin the women
and they drive them home.
George turns his insults on
Nick and Honey by suggesting a new game called “Get
the Guests,” after a battery of
insults and an extemporaneous tale, Honey realizes it is
all about her and feels sick and
runs off to the bathroom.
Next we find Martha alone
in the living room calling for
everyone to come out of hiding and Nick joins her. The
door bell rings and George

is there to present her with
flowers calling out “Flores
para los muertos” (flowers
for the dead). This leads to
more arguing between George
and Martha and then insults
turns towards Nick and being
drunk.
George and Martha have
a son, about whom George
has repeatedly told Martha to
keep quiet about. George talks
about Martha’s overbearing
attitude towards their son. She
talks about his beauty and talents then accuses George of
ruining his life. At this point
George goes into a recital of
Libera me, Latin mass of the
dead. At this point George
plots to tell Martha that a
messenger came to the door
earlier in the afternoon to tell
them their son was killed on a
country road; he had swerved
to avoid a porcupine. The description matches the boy in
the story George told Nick
earlier. Martha screams, “You
can’t do that, and collapses.”

Tony Award for Best Play and
the 1962-63 New York Drama
Critics’ Circle Award for Best
Play. It was also selected for
the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for
Drama by that award’s drama
jury. However, the award’s
advisory board—the trustees
of Columbia University—objected to the play’s then-controversial use of profanity and
sexual themes, and overruled
the award’s advisory committee, awarding no Pulitzer Prize
for drama in 1963. Sited from

another night’s meal.
Stop buying soda as it can be
expensive if it is not on sale. If
you want something sweet to
drink buy powder ice tea, lemonade, etc. as powdered drinks
are cheaper to buy and you get
more for your money.
Start a coupon swap with
your friends or use your local
library to find coupons to cut
down on your grocery bill.
Always pay attention at the
check-out counter because
sometimes the prices don’t
ring up correctly. Before you
leave the store check your
receipt and make sure everything is correct; if not, tell the
cashier or go to the service
desk. They will be glad to correct any error.
If you belong to BJ’s Club
or Sam’s Club where they sell
in bulk take a friend with you
and you can split some of the
items. Last week I purchased
plastic cups in BJ’s Club, there
is 586 cups in a package and I
paid $8.99. I am going to split
the package with my son.
Always make a list of what
you want to purchase at the
grocery store and don’t buy
anything that is not on your
list. By sticking to the list, you
won’t spend any extra money.
If the item you want is on
sale and the supermarket does
not have it in stock, make sure
you ask for a rain check, which
is normally good for 30 days.
If you have any money saving
tips or ideas please e-mail me
at kay01267@gmail.com. Till
next time have a great week.
Are Your Grocery Bills
High?
Before shopping make your
list of what you need to buy.
Clip your manufacturer’s coupons and go on the internet to
search for coupons for items
you will be buying. Some websites you can use are coupons.
com, savingstar.com, dealseekingmom.com; mycitymommy.
com; these will help you save
on groceries. If you can’t find
a coupon for an item you want
to purchase go to google.com
and do a search. Another good
source is the manufacturer’s
website.
Always try to price match.
Some retailers like Wal-Mart
will price match any store’s
weekly ad. Don’t be afraid to
ask your favorite supermarket if they will match another
supermarket’s price.
Stop buying bottled water.
If you can taste the difference
from tap water and bottled
water buy a filter and fill up
your own bottle for a fraction
of the cost.
You will save money by
purchasing whole fruit such
as a pineapple and cutting it
up yourself. Don’t buy pre-cut
fruit in a container because it
is more expensive and you are
paying for someone to cut it up
for you. Always buy fruit and
vegetables that are in season as
they are cheaper at that time.
I always plan my weekly
menu of meals around the
grocery ads as this way I can
save money on my grocery
bill. Freeze any leftovers for

FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
The Spirit of the Open Door
By Rev. Susan M. Heafield,
Sidney United Methodist Church
In Revelation 3:7-8, the risen Christ says to the “angel” (=
divine guardian and congregational personality) of the church
in Philadelphia:
“These are the words of the holy one, the true one, who has
the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and
no one opens: ‘I know your works. Look I have set before you
an open door, which no one is able to shut.”
Picture an open door! It can be a metaphor for any church in
our community - or for the community, in that matter. Has your
church community had a discussion on how your door works?
Maybe it opens outwards, not inwards, so no one can shut it. No
matter how hard progress may seem, the door is open and it is
up to us, with God’s help, to go through its door and discover
where God is leading us.
There is an organization in Atlanta, Ga. called The Open Door
Community. It is a place where homeless people can come for a
meal or for a stay. Anyone is welcome but there are conditions
in which they enter through the door in order for the community
to be hospitable and nourishing. The purpose of the community
is giving the guests what is the greatest need at the time of crossing the threshold. The center gives nourishment and sustenance
along with the joy of community and sharing life together. One
of their pieces of literature is as follows:
Signposts: Life and Work at the Open Door Community
(For Guests, Groups, Resident Volunteers, Prophets, Disciples, Inquirers, Justice Seekers, and Peacemakers)
We welcome you to our community and hope that your stay
with us will be a fruitful one. Since we are a faith-based community, we depend on each other and are responsible to and for
each other.
Think about these words as an invitation for the church or
churches to go through God’s open door. How can we shape
our ministry to be sustaining, nourishing and fruitful? How can
we create an environment that keeps the door open constantly
so that all will be welcome? How can we build the threshold of
welcoming diversity?
In this time and place in history with the decline of mainline
churches and the many economic and cultural changes that force
us to make changes, it is imperative that we seek ways of learning how to be effective in this new world. The United Methodist
Church has a logo that is frequently used: Open Hearts, Open
Minds, Open Doors. We churches in the Tri-Town area have a
wonderful opportunity to lead the way. Let’s try to be open and
welcoming to changes that must happen to be able to continue
to be relavent in the changing world around us. As it says in
Romans 3 ………Look, I have set before you an open door,
which no one is able to shut.” Working together and welcoming
