Red Cross Calls for Donors As Unique as Those They Help ELMIRA - In honor of Black History Month this February, and in the spirit of Dr. Charles Drew, an AfricanAmerican surgeon who was the first medical director of the American Red Cross and a modern blood-banking pioneer, eligible donors as diverse as the patients who need their blood donations are encouraged to give blood to ensure a sufficient blood supply. Blood from a donor with a similar ethnic background as that of the patient is less likely to cause complications, particularly for those patients HOUSES CONTINUE TO COME DOWN under the FEMA buyout program in the Village of Sidney. Mayor Andy Matviak said that currently there are 11 houses scheduled to come down and the program will continue for another year and one-half with additional houses signed on to the flood buyout. Pictured here is the take down of the house at 111 River St. (TTN Photo by Anna Ritchey) whose chronic conditions require repeated transfusions. Sickle cell disease is one such chronic condition affecting as many as 100,000 people in the United States. Prior to transfusion, blood type and Rh factor are matched between donated blood and the patient in need. In some cases, additional red cell markers in donated blood must be matched, as well. These markers are best found in blood from donors of a similar ethnicity. With seasonal flu and inclement winter weather preventing many regular donors from giving, the Red Cross urges healthy, eligible donors to make an appointment to donate blood in the coming days and weeks. All blood types are currently needed to help maintain a diverse and sufficient blood supply, especially types O negative, A negative and B negative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

Paden...................................Publisher Nancy Sue Burns.........................................Editor Anna Ritchey.......................Advertising Manager LETTER TO THE EDITOR Gov. Andrew Cuomo Is Bad for Education “This is the area, my friends, where I think we need to do the most reform, and, frankly, where reform is going to be difficult given the situation in the way education is funded in this state.” Andrew Cuomo during his state of the state address last week. First and foremost, Andrew Cuomo is no friend of education. Instead, he has turned New York into ‘The Hunger Games’, pitting public schools against charter schools (which divert public funds from public schools). He has created a system of blackmail, with a 70% reduction in his allocation for schools if his suggestions are not accepted. This is bullying, and it creates an environment that is bad for all students. Since the Gap Elimination Adjustment, poor, upstate school districts have been shortchanged millions of dollars for a number of years. Restore that first and then we can talk. The Governor has suggested that 50% of a teacher’s evaluation is to be based on state tests (that he already admitted shouldn’t be used against students because of less than ideal implementation and accuracy). This concept is at fault for many reasons…a teacher may not discuss any of the questions on the test after the test is given. This doesn’t allow for changes to be made ‘while the coals are hot.’ Too many factors that are beyond a teacher’s control could jeopardize that teacher’s employment. Current evaluation methods already include state test results and student achievement in the formula. Keep in mind the tests the governor mentions are grades 3-8 for ELA and math. What about the other 60% of the staff? Governor Cuomo, if you were serious about changing schools, please go into schools. See what needs to be done by asking the people who know each student by name. Gain knowledge by what you see and hear. Ask staff what classes are no longer being offered due to budgetary restraints. (See Gap Elimination Adjustment). Don’t turn this into blackmail. Give us what we need. Period. Paul Davis, 6th grade Math teacher Bainbridge-Guilford Central School Stop the Pipeline to Hold Comment Writing Events ONEONTA - Members of Stop the Pipeline (STP) will hold two comment writing events on Saturday, Feb. 7 and Saturday, Feb. 21, from 2 to 6 p.m. at The Green Earth, 4 Market St., Oneonta. These are part of the campaign to convince the DEC to deny water and air quality permits for the Constitution Pipeline. Constitution received conditional approval from the federal government but can’t be built without permits from NY State. Pipeline construction endangers long-term water and air quality, creates a threat to headwaters and related stream systems, and compromises spawning and viability of important fish species. With Constitution, wholesale tree stripping, especially on hillsides, will lead to increased flooding in an area recently devastated by more frequently occurring 100-year inundations. Landowners, many facing eminent domain proceedings, will lose property value and access, and the quality of life they have established through years of hard work. The Constitution with its associated compressor stations, and a second pipeline project proposed by Kinder Morgan, are a threat to our health, environment, land values, and way of life.

A CHEERFUL PROSPECT BY ALICIA (MARSLAND) GEROMEL CAPTAIN FOX AND HIS TRICK RIDERS, Troop C., Dept. State Police, Sidney. One of a series of postcards that have been shared with the Tri-Town News by Diane Graney Holbert. IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS SIDNEY 25 YEARS AGO January 31, 1990 An organized effort to promote cooperation between Afton, Bainbridge, Sidney and Unadilla in meeting common goals and dealing with similar problems is off the ground in the formation of the Tri-County Valley Coalition. The Tri-County Valley Coalition grew out of a meeting between representatives of the Bainbridge and Sidney Chambers of Commerce who felt they had collective interests, and was extended to include all facets of community life. Representatives of town and village governments, businesses, industries and organizations were invited to a meeting and according to Mark Watkins, who was designated chairman, “everyone was very enthusiastic and there was almost unanimous approval to form a coalition.” Members of the executive committee include Glenn Gould, Jim Westcott, Wiley Vincent, Dixie Davis, Walt Johnson, John Hyzer, Jim Meno, Cliff Crouch, Ann Briggs and Doris Bame. Revisions to the land subdivision regulations for the Town of Sidney basically eliminate the exempt subdivision from the regulations, clarify some points in the regulations and bring the regulations in line with state laws, according to Ray Haag, chairman of the Town of Sidney Planning Board and Jesse A. Johnson, a member of the board. Sidney Assembly of God church to celebrate sixth anniversary. SIDNEY 75 YEARS AGO January 23, 1940 The ice skating carnival sponsored by the Sidney Exchange Club under the direction of Conrad Merrill, proved very successful, giving pleasure to the young people as well as grown ups who especially enjoyed the races. It was evidenced that the vicinity of Sidney has a coming group of skaters who, no doubt, will attract some attention on the ice in a few year. Mr. Merrill suggests that you watch the girls Caroline Stevens, Hennelore Bremser, Helen Mossman and Heidi Engel. The public address system, which is the best in this section and could easily be heard at a distance, was supplied by the Cooke Radio Sound Service of Sidney. Feb. 1, 1940 - Another industry, which has been under consideration for the last nine months or more, came to a final conclusion this week when plans were completed and a deal of purchase of lands closed, to locate the D&H tie plant at the western edge of this village on lands along the line of the railroad. Several weeks ago, options were secured on lands owned by the Scintilla Magneto Co., Harvey Wild and Russell Quackenbush, for a tract of lands covering about 200 acres of land. The members of the Dairy Farmers Union in this vicinity have called a public meeting at Municipal Hall on Tuesday, Feb. 6 at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of discussing the construction of a milk plant in Sidney to serve the dairymen in this vicinity. The site for the plant suggested is located where the former milk station carried on for many years, between lower River St. and the Susquehanna River. BAINBRIDGE 25 YEARS AGO January 31, 1990 New column by former Bainbridge educator Floyd Prouty begins this week. Floyd, now retired, was a teacher, elementary principal and assistant superintendent for instruction in Chenango County schools from 1955 through 1987. The column is called, “Observations in Education.” BAINBRIDGE 90 YEARS AGO January 22, 1920 It was 30 degrees below zero on Tuesday morning, Jan. 20. A new record for snow drifts has been established. A man coming into town on the Guilford Road got stuck in the drift. He took his team off and went to secure help to shovel his loaded bobs out. When he returned in half an hour, the bobs were completely buried so that nothing showed but the rail on the top of the drivers seat which had been placed on top of the load. UNADILLA 25 YEARS AGO January 31, 1990 At a special meeting held on Friday, Jan. 21, the Unadilla Town Board rejected a proposed subdivision law proposed by the planning board. According to town councilman George Banta, “The whole board felt that it was too much, more in depth than what we want at this time.” Banta went on to explain that the town board intends to work with the planning board to modify, with the purpose of simplifying, the original proposal. The opposition of the people was largely from those owning property outside the village limits, who may wish to sell land down the road. A major concern was the amount of money they’d have to spend before they could even sell the land. David Geer wins Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) poster contest. UNADILLA 55 YEARS AGO February 5, 1960 An organization meeting of the Unadilla Chamber of Commerce will be held this evening at 8 o’clock in the Community House. A survey of the number of professional businessmen and women of this community, together with those citizens who have already expressed interest, would indicate an expected membership of about 75 persons. Twenty-two of 26 persons attending the first meeting pledged membership and since that time a number of additional pledges have been received. Letters to the Editor are appreciated.

A fascinating video surfaced on Facebook recently, and if you already knew, forgive me. You know how eclectically information travels on the Internet. Articles on this man, Lars Andersen, a master archer from Sweden, say that he only took up the sport 10 years ago. By studying ancient manuscripts and carvings of archers, he has rediscovered archery as practiced from 5000 B.C. until the advent of guns. It is quite unlike skills Lura Wilson taught most of us Greene alumni in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. Fast moving archers on the hunt or at war did not use a back quiver, as that often spills your arrows. Instead, a hip or saddle quiver was used, but arrows for immediate use were carried in either the bow hand or the shooting hand and fed rapidly to the string. Also the bow and wrist were used to give arrows extra impetus, flinging the top of the bow forward in the direction the arrow is shot. Using this technique, and with enormous amounts of practice, Lars can shoot from any position with pinpoint accuracy, ducking, spinning or even upside down. He can shoot three arrows simultaneously and hit a target dead on with each one. He even does Robin Hood one better, although I think Legolas has a similar trick. He not only splits an opponent’s arrow, but he does it as the arrow is shot at him! Catch his act on YouTube. This highlights things that we tend to forget: first, much of what we think we know about the past is almost certainly wrong; second, the reasons we give are also wrong. Example: the idea that archers were only used in war to shoot clouds of arrows in an intensive bombardment. Yes, they were obviously used that way, witness the testimony of the 300 at Thermopylae that the arrows of Xerxes’ archers blotted out the sun, but Lars shows they were able to engage in the thick of battle. Thirdly, we generally underestimate the ancients’ abilities, assuming that they weren’t quite as bright as we. Speaking of bright, who was the genius who dreamed up movie popcorn “butter?” After taking the youth group to “The Hobbit” Friday, I woke with a horrible chemical taste in my mouth and throat, faintly redolent of that butter. It took an hour to get rid of using baking soda in water and little swigs of milk to cool the burning. “Diacetyl” is one possible ingredient, a substance linked to lung problems. Soybean or coconut oil is used, but also other “secret” blends. Some movie theatres do not pop their corn, but buy bags pre-popped treated with preservatives. No more movie popcorn for this lass, thanks. Coconut oil, by the way, is back. Once a popular oil for many uses, it fell out of favor when we were warned it was bad for our hearts. Its use is now touted for Alzheimer’s relief, weight loss, osteoporosis prevention, immune function, and among other benefits, a healthier heart! As early as 4000 B.C., ancient people used crude pens consisting of hollow straws or reeds that supported a short column of liquid.

Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian JANUARY 2015 Afton has a long history of physicians who have served our town, just in my lifetime. Dr. Philetus A. Hayes carne to Afton from Castle Creek and lived on the corner of Spring and Academy Streets. Before coming to Afton he was called to treat the dying Edward W. Nickerson, a Civil War soldier. Dr. Hayes delivered my father Bernett. Bernett and his twin sister Bernice, born July 24, 1902. At my age of 88, I have an imagined Civil War connection. Dr. Hayes also delivered Bernett’s brother and sister, Ellery and Ruth and I believe that they were all born in the house where I live. I was born in this house on February 19, 1926, during a chimney fire, which was put out by neighboring farmers and their hired men. I am sure that the occasion was well remembered by the fire dousers as well as by my parents, especially Dr. William Crull who came my mother. Dr. W. Lee Dodge delivered me. He had practiced to Afton in 1934. Picture in Coventry for four years before moving to Afton in 1902. from the Afton Historical My sister Sylvia and my brother Ray were both born in Society. the maternity home of Mrs. Chandler, across from St. Ann’s Church. I remember my grandfather Frank Decker picking me up to stay with him and my grandmother during my mother’s confinement. Later, Ruth Sullivan Legg had a maternity home on South Main Street, near Henry’s Drive In. Her husband was the local veterinarian. Martin had a twin sister, Martha, who didn’t survive. Dr. William Crull had just come to Afton in 1934 and the Decker twins were his first delivery here. His first patient was the parrot of the Fisher family, where Pages now live. Dr. Crull lived in the old Dr. Hayes house and had a hospital across the street, now gone. Dr. Charles Graf practiced here. His office was on Main Street, but he later moved up to the present Afton Family Health Center, which had just been built. My experiences with him were mainly routine, such as physicals. Dr. Stephen Dygert has been our present doctor for several years, also in the family Health Center, which has recently been enlarged. His daughter is also in practice with him. He has taken good care of me, catching problems that could be solved with early attention.

It’s very common to hear Roxy crying in her kennel through out the day, letting us know that she’s lonely, and longing for attention.

On the Farm Some family members are recovering from the flu and are getting back to work. It’s been quite quiet on the farm this week; I guess that’s good since so many were sick. Two cows couldn’t get up and walk to be milked so they had to be butchered and used for meat in the freezers, this happens occasionally here on the farm and I’m sure on other farms also. The claves do not like the cold weather and we are trying to keep them as well as we can, so far so good. Keep those fires burning folks and keep warm and stay safe through this storm. There seems to be quite a lot of illness around town, get well everyone and stay healthy.

Tri-Town News — Thursday, January 29, 2015— 13 PUZZLE CORNER Skyline Boys to Appear Feb. 8 At Coventry Methodist Church CONVENTRY – On Sunday, Feb. 8 at 9 a.m. the Southern gospel group Skyline Boys will be in concert during worship service at Coventry United Methodist Church. This event is open to the public and will only cost a free-will offering. The Skyline Boys were formed in 1995 at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, at the beginning of the famous Skyline Drive. Dennis Powers, organized a group that would present the message of God’s love through Southern Gospel Music. Over the years, the Skyline Boys have appeared all over the country and have made a name on television and radio. Dennis Powers of Purcellville, Va., the owner and manager of the group, soundman and bus driver is the bass singer for the group. As the son of a pastor he was introduced to Gospel Music at a young age by a Blackwood Brothers album his dad brought home in the mid ’50s. Inspired by the Couriers, the great Cathedrals and other groups of the ’60s he started his first group in October 1964 in his dad’s church in Hagerstown, Md. He has sung with many groups over the last 43 years. Chris Little of Griffithsville, W.V., the baritone vocalist/piano player for the group is no stranger to this music. Chris is and man with many talents and abilities and they really show in concerts. Chris’s quality vocals and exceptional piano playing make him a crowd pleaser everywhere the group performs. Chris spent six years in the U.S. Army and has a wonderful testimony. Chris sang with the Forgiven Trio for many years. Lead singer Chris Williams, a native of Waynesboro, Va. is no stranger to gospel music. Having sung with several groups and having a group of his own Chris’s exceptional smooth vocals is a crowd pleaser everywhere the group goes. Chris is a long time friend of Jimmy Fortune, former tenor for the Statler Brothers who hail from the same area. Music is and has been a major part of Chris’s life. Rounding out the group with an extraordinary high range and smooth sound is tenor vocalist Jerry Skaggs. Jerry and his family make their home in Ansted, W.V. Jerry is no stranger to Gospel Music having worked part-time with Phil Cross and Poet Voices, The Faith Harmony Boys and most recent his family group, the Faithmen. The hardest part of any group is finding four guys who fit together and can work as a team. As anyone who has seen them in concert will tell you, these men all have completely different personalities but come together like the great quartets of old. Many are surprised to see that those coming out to their concerts are of every age. Like the Statesmen Quartet in the ’50s, the Skyline Boys are forming their own identity with their energetic stage presence and unique sound. If you spend any time with these men off stage or on the bus you will find that laughter is as much a part of them as their music. Their concerts are filled with laughter as the guys prepare the crowd for the message of Christ’s love. The Skyline Boys are blessed to have four guys who fit together in their own way and are all focused on the calling God has placed on their lives.
