Afton Looks Forward to Welcoming In
The Holidays with Carnival, Parade Dec. 6
AFTON - It’s that most
wonderful time of the year
again; the official beginning of
the Christmas season in Afton.
Saturday, Dec. 6 will be a day
full of traditions, like breakfast with Santa, a walk to the
Methodist church in search of
some Christmas goodies and
a special gift for someone on
my list. Later, when I start
scoping out the best place to
hear Kaitlin Jackson sing, I
can look for the results of the
coloring contest, drop off the
items for the food drive, and
watch the parade. Finally, I
can dress up in my Christmas
finery and head to the Snow
“Ball” for some dancing. It’s
one of my favorite days. It’s
the day of the Afton Christmas
Carnival and Parade, so save
the date.
It starts with the preparations. I love it when the tree
stands and street decorations
are being set up. When that
happens, I know that it’s time
to work on my homemade
ornament to hang on the tree
in the triangle across from
Horton’s. During the week
of Dec. 1, you can hang your
ornament on the tree in the
triangle across from Horton
Hardware.
There’s a lot to be said for
the charm of a small town
coming together to make the
season so bright and cheery.
Already, there are many help-
ers who will be working to
make the day possible. Baxter’s trees will be decorated
soon after Thanksgiving. I
love to see how those trees
get decorated, and I look for
changes every day. Z’s trees
will be donating the prized
trees for the coloring contest.
The school kids do a great
job decorating their trees on
paper, and a few of them will
win a real tree from Z’s.
The parade lines up at 5
p.m. over at the school parking
lot, and will hit Main Street at
about 5:30 p.m. By that time,
I plan to have already warmed
my hands on a free cup of hot
chocolate and maybe a hot
dog or popcorn.
After the parade goes by,
and Santa has waved from his
sleigh, he’s going to be at the
bank to greet the children. Finally, the Snow “Ball” Community Dance at the school
will complete the day. If
you’re under 10, or over 64,
you get to go to the dance for
free. Everybody in between
will be paying.
Maybe world peace is a tall
order for Santa, but on the
day of the parade, when you
see the people along Main
Street in Afton, you’ll be seeing a little bit of Peace on
Earth as friends and neighbors
meet together to enjoy these
festivities.
I’ll be there on Dec. 6, and I
hope I see you there, too.
Watch for more information, including times for activities in upcoming issues.

Snow Comes
A Bit Early To
Tri-Town Area
FORMER BOWLING ALLY on Rt. 7 is being developed
into an eight apartment complex.
Real Estate Developments
Are Beneficial to Unadilla
UNADILLA - A Long Island resident who plans to
make Unadilla his home after retiring has already had
an impact on the community
and isn’t done yet. Nine years
ago Michael Veraldi purchased seven rental properties
owned by Dick Howe, as well
as Howe’s residence on John
Cook Road and he is continuing to purchase and develop
properties in Unadilla including his latest venture, a six
apartment complex.
Since his early purchases,
Veraldi has bought other properties, the first being the old
icehouse on Lyons St., which
was remodeled into four apartments about seven years ago.
He also bought the former RC
Sales garage. The building
was gutted and remodeled into
four rentals. Also purchased
was the gas station, which was
torn down and is being remodeled into two apartments. Other properties include the six
bay storage unit on Rt. 7 near
the drive-in theater, which has
been remodeled into two new
apartments.
The most recent purchase
was the former Unadilla Bowling Ally on Rt.7 near Wells
Bridge. A new roof has been
installed, and plans call for
developing eight apartments.
Also planned are four trailer
sites, and in the future, Veraldi
is looking to build a new six,
two-bedroom apartment complex. All of his apartments
have built-in sprinkler systems
and totally electric heating.
The building supervisor is
Dennis Heath who is doing
the design work and submitting prints to meet the code
regulations. Three to four employees also make up the crew
for building and remodeling.
Presently Michael, who is
owner of Long Island Analytical Laboratories, Inc., has 30
apartment rentals. He is looking forward to retiring in a few
years and making Unadilla his
permanent residence.
Winter doesn’t technically
arrive until December but this
year snow dropped in early.
The week started out with
about an inch of the white
stuff, enough for a few schools
to have an opening delay. The
rain that followed was more
like sleet and instead of melting the snow it resulted in a bit
of icing. Early morning temperatures were in the lower
20s and no relief from the cold
is predicted until next week.
TAKING PART IN THE PRESENTATION of the $4,514 donation to the Sidney Veterans
Memorial were (l-r) Toni Gardner, employee coordinator of the 50/50 raffle; Jeff
Almasian, ACCO Brands Sidney general manager; and members of the committee
including Brigadier General James McIntyre, Robert M. McDuffey and Paul Beames.
ACCO Brands Supports Veterans Memorial

in memory of employee Rob
Bargher who passed away this
year, and a donation from the

Renovations Planned for Food Pantry
UNADILLA - The Unadilla Community Food Pantry
is planning a renovation of
the Unadilla United Methodist Church garage. Several
factors have contributed to
this decision. The number of
households being served has
increased by 20 percent over
the last year. This makes it
necessary to house a much
larger inventory than we have
needed in the past. There is not
enough room for this inventory in the current food pantry
so it has become necessary to
carry the food upstairs in the
church for storage.
The current food pantry
also has several steps at the
entrance. The new renovation project would eliminate
the steps. Currently the food
pantry can only serve two clients at a time and there is no
place for others to wait their

turn. Space and safety are the
reasons for this renovation
project.
The Unadilla United Methodist Church has graciously
offered the food pantry a large
part of their garage to renovate. It will need a new floor,
electrical service, lighting, insulation, heating system, dry
wall and new refrigeration and
freezer units.
The Unadilla Rotary has
provided grant money and is
working hard to help make
this renovation a reality, but a
significant amount of money is
still needed. If you would like
to make a donation towards
this project, send it to The
Unadilla Community Food
Pantry, P.O. Box 58, Unadilla,
NY 13849. Make sure you
designate that the donation
is for the renovation project.
Watch for future fundraisers
as well. For more information
you may call 563-7713.
Chad Darou and Stealing Time
To Perform at Town Hall Opry
BAINBRIDGE –
The
combined talents of Stealing
Time’s six versatile musicians
take you to another level of
bluegrass this Saturday, Nov.
22, at the Bainbridge Town
Hall Opry.
Chad Darou, whose dobro
playing earned him the 2008
national championship title
has been called the band’s
“driving force” on dobro as
well as for “delivering” most
of Stealing Time’s original
arrangements.
Jim Treat’s rock solid bass
playing, which led to tours
with the one and only Bill
Monroe, Eager, Hampton &
McGill, Dick Smith & Mike
O’Reilly, is the backbone of
the band.
Known for her mighty
mandolin chop and vocal
harmony versatility, young
Liza Darou has added new
dimension to Stealing Time
from day one.
Vestal native David Carey
started playing guitar with his
dad’s bluegrass band at age 7.
Add driving rhythm, skillful
leads and soulful style vocals
to his repertoire and you’ve
got
another
memorable
Stealing Time talent.
A skilled and precise
musician on guitar, 5-string
banjo and upright bass, Jeremy
Huber hails from Buffalo. He
brings a flair for arrangements
as well as a focused banjo
sound suited both to traditional
and contemporary bluegrass
music.
Seventeen-year-old Sean
Martin made his fiddle playing
debut at age five and has
worked his way into playing
opportunities with many
well-known fiddlers. Adding
mandolin and vocals to the
mix has made him a wellrounded asset to the band.
Chad Darou and Stealing
Time will play this Saturday,
Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. in the
Bainbridge Town Hall Theatre
located at 15 N. Main St.
Doors open at 7 p.m.

SIDNEY - Saving Mr. Banks
is the third film in the Friends
of the Libraries 2014-15 film
series. It will be shown in the
Community Room of the Sidney Memorial Public Library
Sunday, Nov. 23 at 1:30 p.m.
Saving Mr. Banks is a delightful and hugely entertaining
film based on the true story of
the making of Mary Poppins,
one of the most successful and
beloved of movies produced by
Walt Disney. The film stars Tom
Hanks as Disney and Emma
Thompson as P.L. Travers, the
Australian-born British author
who wrote the Mary Poppins
book on which the movie will
be based. For many years, Mrs.
Travers has resisted Mr. Disney’s efforts to secure the film
rights to her book, but she finally succumbs because she needs
the money. However, she does
not give in gracefully or easily,
nor do Disney and his production staff.
Most of the film chronicles
the clash between Travers, who
disdains everything that Disney
represents and who views the
Poppins story as a serious and
somber depiction of an English
nanny; and Disney, who ultimately wins the battle and presents the depiction of Poppins
that we all know and love – not
at all serious or somber. Interspersed in the main plot are
flashback scenes from childhood lives of both Travers and
Disney that serve to explain
their very different adult personalities and outlooks on life.
Admission to the film is free
and open to the public, and
complimentary popcorn and
bottled water will be available.

BEAUTIFUL AFGHAN made by Johanna Kemmeren
is the first prize in the raffle at the Holiday Bazaar and
Bake Sale this Saturday, Nov. 20.
Holiday Bazaar, Bake Sale
Is This Saturday at St. Agnes
AFTON - As time draws
closer to the annual St. John/
St. Agnes Holiday bazaar and
bake sale, always held the
Saturday before Thanksgiving, we are asked so often,
“Is the German lady who does
the beautiful crocheted items
going to be there again this
year?” The answer is a resounding “YES!” But for the
record, Johanna Kemmeren is
not from Germany but from
Holland. She and her late husband, Peter, came to the United States in 1956 and settled in
Bainbridge a few years later.
She still has family in Holland
and visits every year.
Johanna has been crocheting and knitting since she was
three years old. She watched
her mother and grandmother
at work and was given a doll
baby with no clothes. Her
mother handed her knitting
needles and she has been at
it ever since. Johanna has
made many beautiful items
over the years but is wellknown for her warm mittens
and children’s sweaters. This
year Johanna has crocheted a
beautiful afghan which won
first prize at the Norwich Fair.
This blanket is our first prize
for our annual raffle. Visit our
craft table which is filled with
many handmade items, quilted
table runners, baby blankets to
name a few, and say “hello” to
Johanna. Perfect Christmas
gifts will be featured at this
table.

known for their delicious bake
sales. There will be cakes,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Veterans’ Day
Was Not Honored
In Tri-Town Area
Nov. 11 was Veteran’s Day,
or was it? We were in all towns
of the tri-town area (Sidney,
Bainbridge, Afton) and we
didn’t see a sign of a display of
flags or any other sign that it
was Veterans’ Day anywhere.
The only things that were noted were no delivery of mail,
no open banks and, of course,
no school. It makes one wonder why Veterans’ Day was
ever declared to be a holiday.
We see something on the news
every night about wounded
vets, some who still have not
much longer to live because
of wounds they are suffering
from but still have high spirits
and are helping others in their
short time left.
My husband is very military conscious and retired as
a proud Sr. Chief Petty Officer
from the Navy after 21years
plus, having been all over the
world. Before moving to his
new home in Bainbridge, he
lived in Cobleskill where they
always had a ceremony in the
park and he served as Master of Ceremony. Even after
moving to Bainbridge, he was
still asked to be the Master of
Ceremony at this event. There
were times when I stood in
the bitter cold along with a
large crowd of people to attend this impressive ceremony
with speakers, including Assemblyman Pete Lopez. The
ceremony wasn’t long, and
was usually followed by a free
lunch sponsored by the fire department or some other organization. It made one feel like
they had honored and attended
a true memorial for veterans.
As we drove through Afton, Bainbridge, Sidney there
seemed to be no sign that this
was an honorable holiday and
not just another day off from
work. I even had a doctor’s appointment on this day and as
we noticed in the Bainbridge
park, there were not even
any flags displayed let alone
any kind of a service. Despite
this no-show of appreciation
of service, I hope people remembered and were at least
reminded by the TV what the
day was for.
Eileen Smith Mitchell,
wife of a proud Navy
veteran
Thank You Voters
On Wednesday, Nov. 12, I
attended the Board of Election
Absentee Ballot Count. The
final counts were 648 votes
for me, 677 votes for Jody
Proffitt.
I want to thank the 648
voters who cast their ballot
for me. I want to thank all
the wonderful people I met
canvassing door to door - the
many kind people who invited
me in and shared their views
and concerns - the people who
introduced me to their adorable kids and families - the
people who invited me in to
get warm on the chilly days
- all of you for sharing your
time with me and making me
feel so welcome.
Thank you all for your participation, support, kindness
and love you provided during
my first attempt at running for
Sidney Town Council.
Thank you Sidney voters.
Most Sincerely,
Loddie Marsh
Thank You To
Our Military And
Their Families
In the spirit of Thanksgiving
I would like to give thanks to
our military, and to their families, who sacrifice so much
while serving our country.
It seems that locally, not
many at all honored our military on Veterans’ Day, and that
I find to be very distressing.
Having a family member in
the service, especially if deployed, is a very trying time
for them and their families. At
holiday time, it’s ten-fold.
For Thanksgiving, I will be
thankful for all of our military
sacrificing so much time away
from their families, fighting to
keep us safe and terrorism at
bay. I am thankful for those
who served, for it is these veterans that have made our freedoms possible.
When we sit down for our
Thanksgiving and Christmas
meals, we will set, yet again,
another place at the table
along with the angel candle, in
honor of our military that can
not be sharing their meal with
their family.
God bless and thanks be to
our United States Military.

ONEONTA - State Senator
James L. Seward announced that
the NYSDOT rest area along
I-88 eastbound between exits 18
and 19 in Worcester is set to reopen by Friday, Nov. 21.
“With the holiday travel season now upon us, I am extremely pleased that this rest stop, a
critical component for highway safety, is set to reopen,”
said Senator Seward. “I fought
against the NYSDOT decision
to shutter this and other rest areas four years ago, and reopening the site was among my top
priorities this year.”
In 2010, the New York State
Department of Transportation
closed six rest areas on interstate
highways in what was touted as
a temporary measure. To date,
only the Worcester rest stop is
scheduled to reopen.
“When the closures were first
announced, I voiced my concern, particularly for the safety
of truck drivers who make their
living and support their families
traveling our highways. Since
that time a host of serious accidents involving tractor-trailers
have occurred near the Worcester rest stop. No doubt some of
these crashes could have been
avoided if a safe haven was
open,” Seward added.
Senator Seward also advocated for budget funds to reopen
the I-88 Wells Bridge rest stop
(westbound between exits 11
and 12) which was also closed
in 2010.
“While the Wells Bridge rest
stop was not specifically funded
in this year’s state budget, I will
continue to advocate for its reopening as well. In this day and
age, when so much attention is
focused on ‘texting zones’ and
similar measures, we need to
enhance highway safety not reduce it,” Seward added.
The Worcester rest area will
be open for parking only at this
time. Renovation work on the
restrooms is still being completed with a 2015 opening
planned.

Children Are Invited to Share
What They Are Thankful for
ALBANY - Senator John
Bonacic announces the New
York State Senate’s Thanksgiving Day Creative Celebration for children in grades K
through 6.
School districts throughout
the state have been sent posters and details about the program, which invites children
to submit an original poem,
one-page essay, or artwork expressing something from the
past year that they’re thankful
for. All submissions will be
published online at the New
York Senate website, and students from the 42nd district
who participate will receive
a certificate from Senator
Bonacic.
“With Thanksgiving approaching, it’s traditional to
think of the good things we
have, and what we’re thankful for,” says Senator Bonacic.
“My list includes our service
men and women who put their
lives on the line everyday
for our country’s freedoms.
Next, the community heroes,
the firefighters, the police,
State Troopers, EMS workers, and all those who keep
our communities safe. I hope
this program starts the discussion about what it means to
be thankful, and I look forward to seeing the children’s
submissions.”
All submissions must be
uploaded electronically (preferably jpeg or pdf format) via
the Senator’s website at bonacic.nysenate.gov and clicking the Thanksgiving Day link
on the left hand side of the
page which directs you to the
“What Are You Thankful For”
online form; deadline for submissions is Nov. 24.
“From my family to yours, I
hope everyone enjoys a happy
and healthy Thanksgiving,”
says Senator Bonacic.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is just about a
week and half away, Thursday,
Nov. 27. I am sure everyone has
started planning for Thanksgiving festivities. If you are having
Thanksgiving dinner in your
house here are some ways to
save.
Before going shopping for
your holiday dinner, make a list
of what you’ll need and exactly
how much, and always be sure
to stick to the list when you are
in the store. It can be very easy
to overspend when shopping.
Supermarkets will be having
special coupons and promotions
for your Thanksgiving meal.
Check your local supermarket
flyers for their sales. Check if
your supermarket will match
advertised prices from competitors. Do most of your shopping
there and don’t forget to bring
your coupons.
Choose only one meat for
your Thanksgiving dinner. Most
families have turkey on Thanksgiving but you could also have
ham, lamb or prime ribs. By selecting one meat you will save
money for your family’s feast.
When purchasing a turkey
buy a frozen one as you can
save about 30-40 percent more
than if you bought a fresh one.
Always be sure to follow the
instructions for a frozen turkey.
You will need three to five days
to let it thaw in the refrigerator.
When making side dishes for
your meal make mashed potatoes as it is cheaper than cooking a sweet potato casserole.
Also serve a vegetable, stuffing
and cranberry sauces. Don’t
make expensive side dishes that
require a lot of ingredients.
Another way to save on side
dishes if you are having company is to ask them to bring a
specific side dish to pass. For
beverages serve non-alcoholic
ones because if your guests are
driving it is better for them not
to drink. You could serve apple
cider, coffee, tea, soda or even
water.
If you want to decorate your
house for Thanksgiving you
don’t have to spend too much
money on the decorations. You
can go to your local Dollar
Store as they always have inexpensive decorations. If you have
children you could give them
construction paper and crayons
to make decorations.

Zena is an older Pitbull mix

years old. She immediately
won over the shelter staff with
her very sweet personality. You
can’t help but fall in love when
you look in her eyes and see that
sweet older face.
Zena is housebroken and
great on a leash. She can get
along with other dogs, if they
respect her for the princess that
she truly is. We want to see Zena
in a home, soon. Shelter life is
so very tough, especially on the

HISTORICAL MINUTES NO. 1,112
by Charles J. Decker, Afton Town and Village Historian
NOVEMBER 2014
When I was young, it was common for households to have small
flocks of chickens. They provided eggs and fresh poultry meat for
the family and sometimes for neighbors.
My Decker grandparents had a fairly large flock, which occupied
a long henhouse near the barn. It is now gone. At one time, a pig
was the sole occupant. When I was in high school, I raised chickens
for sale as fryers. A dealer came with a truck and crates to carry
them away. There is a chicken crate like those I remember in the
barn of the Afton Museum. The round spindles on all four sides allowed the chickens to poke their heads through.
As I remember, we ordered baby chicks which were delivered by
train at the Afton depot. They came in cardboard cartons with round
air holes. Occasionally there would be one or two dead ones. In the
back yard we had a brooder coop for the babies and a larger shed
for the more mature birds. The money that I earned from my chickens went into a fund, which I later used for my Cornell years.
The breeds which I remember were white Leghorns and Barred

be Barred Rocks. She later married Arthur Grover and lived across
the road in the house faintly visible. They also had a flock of chickens. One year the baby chicks, when they were first being allowed
outside, were drenched in a sudden shower. Several of them died and Uncle Arthur was not very
happy with his wife for allowing that.
One Thanksgiving, my mother had roasted two chickens for the Decker guests. When removing
them from the oven, one flipped onto the floor, but she wiped it off and we ate it anyway.

“Hams” in Chenango Co. Test
Emergency Communications
NORWICH - The backup
emergency
communication
skills of area Amateur Radio
operators, often called “hams,”
were tested in Chenango County on Nov. 8, as Amateur Radio
operators conducted their annual Simulated Emergency Test.
Amateur Radio volunteer
operators around the country
respond to many calls for aid
each year. They provide their
services and equipment freely
to their communities, saving
both lives and thousands of
dollars for neighbors. They are
“Amateurs” only in that they
are not paid, but their service in
a disaster can be priceless. As
FEMA Director Craig Fugate
remarked, “When you need
them, you really need them!”
This year local ham operators
participating were members of
the Chenango Valley Amateur
Radio Assoc., Inc., Chenango
County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency
Service (RACES) as well as the
Nat’l Weather Service “Skywarn” spotter program.
Members of these groups
purchase and maintain their
own equipment with all work
done on a voluntary, non-compensable basis. Local repeater
usage is authorized and provided by the Chenango Valley Amateur Radio Assoc., Inc., owner
of the 146.685 Mhz. Repeater
(W2RME) located in the Town
of Guilford. Repeater operations and maintenance are fully
supported and totally funded by
our membership, with emergency communications our prime
concern.
The hams have the slogan,
“When all else fails – Amateur
Radio!” According to Ray Darling ARES Emergency Coordinator, “we all take that quite
seriously.”
The scenario this past weekend involved power outages in
the Western sectors of Chenango Co., and one central sector
interrupting communications
from the Otselic, Pharsalia/Cincinnatus and Smithville areas
to the Town of Columbus area.
These outages caused major
concerns for the safety of residents and the dispatch of emergency response teams during
the period.
Using emergency powered
radios and working with local agencies, the hams create
extensive radio communications networks which can be
used should there be a failure
or overload of normal services.
Their ability to get back “on the
air” quickly is critical following major incidents. In addition,
the ham radio operators provide
“interoperability” - they can
pass information between the
many government and volunteer agencies, which are needed
in disasters, but often have incompatible
communications
systems.
This simulation enabled the
ARES/RACES groups to compensate for that loss by establishing communications links
through 11 stationary/portable/
mobile radio units at key locations throughout the affected
area. This service successfully
allowed the Chenango County
Emergency Coordinators to
have direct access to firehouses,
hospitals, and established shelter sites while normal means
were unavailable. This Emergency Test was conducted and
supported by 22 dedicated,
cross-trained amateur radio operators from Chenango County
with assistance from volunteer
operators from Delaware and
Otsego Counties.
Despite the internet and cell
phones, interest in ham radio
is growing rapidly in the US.
There are now 700,000 FCC
Amateur Radio licenses in
the USA and over 2.5 million
worldwide. They are able to
gather and transmit information, both locally and worldwide, without depending on
other systems. During recent
hurricane and flooding scenarios, hams were critical in providing immediate, ground level
reports to the National Weather
Service. After the storm, hams
continued to provide help in the
many flooded communities and
areas that lost electric power.
Many national organizations
have formal agreements with
the Amateur Radio Emergency
Service (ARES) and other Amateur Radio groups including:the
Department of Homeland Security – Citizen Corps, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, the National Communications System, the American Red
Cross, The Salvation Army, the
National Weather Service and
the Association of Public Safety
Communications Officials.
ARES is an affiliate of the
American Radio Relay League
(ARRL), the national organization of amateur radio operators
who set aside the months of
October and November of each
year for the purpose of conducting Simulated Emergency Tests
nationwide. RACES is a communications service designed to
provide amateur radio communications to local or state civil
preparedness agencies. It is important to note that RACES operation is authorized by emergency management officials
only, and these operations are
strictly limited to official civil
preparedness events.
The best way to learn about
Amateur Radio is talking to
hams face-to-face. To find out

Chenango Co. Literacy Volunteers Recognizes
Accomplishments of Students and Volunteers
NORWICH - Opportunities
for Chenango’s Literacy Volunteers gathered at the Emmanuel
Episcopal Church in Norwich
for the agency’s annual dinner
on Thursday, Oct. 23 to recognize the hard work, dedication
and accomplishments of its students and their dedicated tutor
volunteers.
“It’s nice to bring everyone
together in one place because
it’s not often they have the opportunity to interact with other
students and tutors” said JoAnn
Kishbaugh, Chenango County
Literacy Volunteers program
director. The students have
worked diligently to increase
their literacy skills and their
hard work has paid off. While
Kishbaugh commented that she
has been with the program less
than a year, she said that she has
seen the changes in the students
and the many doors of opportunity that have opened for them
as they reach their goals.
The banquet was attended
by nearly 70 volunteers, family members and students, each
with their own story of struggle
and triumph. Currently, Literacy Volunteers assists nearly
30 students countywide, with
approximately 20 tutors offering their time and skills to teach
and strengthen the essentials of
communication: Speaking, listening, writing and reading.
Students each received recognition certificates from Literacy Volunteers for their commitment to working towards
their literacy goals. Tutors also
received recognition for their
generous gift of time and energy in making a profound difference in their student’s lives.
In addition, each tutor and students received merit certificates
signed by New York 122nd
District Assemblyman Clifford
Crouch.
Special guest speaker, Mark
Gray, a Work Based Learning
coordinator for Oneonta Job
Corps stressed the importance
of literacy and obtaining a GED
(now referred to as TASC).
He said he sees the challenges
that many students face each
day. “For you students, no matter where you are, what you
are trying to achieve or where
you’re trying to get with your
life, it can be difficult,” he said,
adding how a series of small accomplishments can eventually
lead to something bigger. “Embrace those little victories,” he
said. “Recognize those tiny bits
of accomplishments along the
way and celebrate them.”
Mark Hollifield also addressed the students as a guest
speaker. He shared his experiences of overcoming a learning
disability that affects his reading
and writing. He understands the
impacts that these types of disabilities can have but he also encouraged students to keep moving forward. “I know how hard
it is to survive in this world with
that type of disability,” he said,
paying recognition to tutors and
volunteers who lent him a helping hand along the way. “I am
where I am today because of a
lot of good people. Despite my
reading and writing disability, I
have done a lot. If you have a
similar type of disability... Get
out there and go for it.” Mark is
a testament to those words. He
recently graduated as a Dean’s
List Student from SUNY Morrisville and is now currently
attending Broome Community
College as a dental hygiene
major.
Literacy Volunteers would
like to thank the many individuals and businesses who made
the annual dinner a huge success. A big thank you goes out
to the Literacy Volunteers Advisory Board, staff and board
members of Opportunities for
Chenango, Dunkin’ Donuts,
Joe and Vinny’s Pizzeria of
Sherburne, Emily Kishbaugh
and The Emmanuel Episcopal
Church for their support.
According to Opportunities
for Chenango, an estimated 14
percent of adults in the county
read at or below a 4th grade
level and 25 percent of adults
do not have a high school diploma; making it difficult to
communicate or find employment. With the help of funding
from the NYS Education Dept.,
Chenango County United Way,
and numerous individual and
corporate donors, Literacy Volunteers of Chenango County
serves adults 16 years and older
who read below an eighth grade
level. For more information

Floyd Howard
SIDNEY - Floyd Wesley Joseph Howard, 67, died
Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014, in
his home with his family near
him and his beloved Charly on
the floor beside his bed.
Floyd fought a valiant battle against a terrible disease
and impressed his family,
friends and caregivers with his
courage and sense of humor
through it all.
Floyd was born on Jan.
13, 1947 in Sidney to Wesley
Monroe Howard and Andrée
Rene Madelaine Primel Howard. He was raised in Sidney,
attended Sidney schools, and
after graduation, joined the US
Air Force. He was honorably
discharged as a Staff Sergeant
after four years and used his
GI bill to attend Tri State College in Angola, Ind., where his
brother Ray was also a student.
He eventually returned to Sidney to be closer to his father
and finished his education at
SUNY Oneonta. It was while
a student here that he met his
future wife, Patti.
Patricia Bolles and Floyd
were married on Aug. 24,
1974 in Walton and together
decided to remain in Sidney to
raise their family. That family
came to include one daughter
and three sons and, happily,
two “bonus” daughters who
entered the family through the
couple’s involvement with the
Fresh Air Fund and their time
as foster parents.
Floyd loved his community
and through the years was active in the Sidney Historical
Society, serving a time as its
president. He was a lifelong
Democrat and served on the
Sidney Democratic committee, and also served as a village
trustee. He was proud of some
of the things accomplished
during this time, including the
purchase of the Civic Center.
By far, his favorite community involvement was the years
he spent as a pee-wee and little
league coach for his sons. The
boys on the “Orioles”, the
“Cardinals” and “Keith Clark”
were his for a few weeks each
year and he loved it. He also
coached a pee-wee football
team.
Floyd loved the sport of
baseball, especially his beloved Dodgers. He was proud
that he managed to make
Dodger fans out of one son
and two grandchildren. He
was also pleased that he saw
them play both at Ebbets Field
in Brooklyn with his dad and
also at the Stadium in Los Angeles with his son Todd, the
Dodger fan.
Floyd was also very interested in genealogy, both his
and Patti’s. He spent many
hours making new friends and
uncovering family secrets.
Music always filled the
house. Floyd had a lifelong
love of music of all kinds and
this is a legacy that he passed
down to his children and his
grandchildren.
Floyd was predeceased by
his parents.
He is survived by his wife
of 40 years, Patricia Bolles
Howard; his brother, Raymond Howard and wife Rose,
Apalachin and their son David; his daughter, Elisabeth
Paternoster Tyler, Chalfont,
Pa.; sons, Todd Paternoster,
Bainbridge, Nathan Howard
and wife Robyn, Poughkeepsie and Kyle Howard and wife
Keiko, Sidney. He is also survived by his two bonus daughters, Nancy Peck and husband
Greg, Sidney and Towana
Roberts and husband Steve,
Hempstead. He is also survived by, and will be greatly
missed by his grandchildren.
He was unashamedly proud of
each and every one of them,
whether attending a game or
a concert or just listening to
them play. They brought many
smiles to his face. He was, in
the words of granddaughter
Adrienne, “the best Papa ever
to exist.” They are, in order of
appearance, Nicholas Paternoster, Adrienne Paternoster,
Christopher Howard, Lucas
Paternoster, Aiden Paternoster,
Helen Howard, Avery Tyler,
Samuel Howard and Simon
Howard. With bonus children
came bonus grandchildren,
including Gregory Peck Jr.
and his wife Kayla and their
son Spencer, Nadine Peck and
her fiancé Jeffrey, and Geoffrey Peck, all of Sidney; India
Roberts Huggins with her two
daughters, Ivy and Michael
Conley with his daughter, all
of Hempstead; sister-in-law,
Karen Stanton and her son
Seth Stanton, his wife Kristin
and their children Kaitlyn and
Emily, Albany, and her daughter, Courtney Stanton and her
fiancé John Pettinato, N.J.; a
very special cousin, Michelle
Tallour, Angers France, and
husband Michel.
A memorial service was
held on Sunday, Nov. 16 at the
First Congregational Church,
Sidney. Following the memorial service, the family received friends at the Sidney
Elks Lodge.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be
made, in Floyd’s honor, to the
Humane Society or the Sidney
Memorial Library.

Bainbridge Youth Soccer
Had Another Great Season
BAINBRIDGE - The fall
of 2014 brought another
successful soccer season for
Bainbridge youth.
Over 120 children ages
4-12 (representing 10 teams)
participated in the eightweek program, competing
against teams from Oxford,
Gilbertsville-Mt.
Upton,
Sherburne-Earlville, Norwich,
Afton, and Unadilla Valley.
Coaches, players, and
fans
exemplified
good
sportsmanship and represented
the Bainbridge community
admirably. Parent volunteers
and a number of high school
students made sure there
were referees for every game
and the B-G boys’ varsity
soccer team, coached by Mr.
Feltham, made it possible for
the U12 teams to have their
Grand Finale Game under the
lights. The participation and
support of so many made it
a rewarding experience for
everyone.
The Bainbridge Youth
Soccer program would like to
thank its sponsors: ScovilleMeno Chevrolet and the
Chevy Youth Soccer Program.
Their generous donation
allowed for the purchase of
two new goals for the fields
at General Clinton Park. The
program would also like to
thank the B-G Booster Club
for covering insurance costs,
and the B-G Central School
District for the use of the
Greenlawn Cemetery Field
and for lining the fields at
General Clinton Park.
If you would like additional
information about youth
soccer or would be willing to
be a sponsor for the league,
please contact Erin Degan at

Launch County-Wide Contest
WALTON - For the 5th
year, Beta Omicron, the local
chapter of a world-wide educators’ organization, is working with The Arc of Delaware
County to sponsor a contest
open to all Delaware County
school districts. The purpose
of the county-wide grades K-8
contest is to help students understand the strengths and embrace abilities of people with
developmental disabilities.
Beta Omicron is part of
The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, a professional organization of women
educators. This local chapter
has 40 members representing several of the Delaware
County schools. Their mission
is excellence in education, so
they have partnered with The
Arc to bring awareness of the
abilities of people with developmental disabilities to school
kids and their communities.
The theme of this year’s
contest is “Everybody Can--Be Included.” Students can describe in essay or PowerPoint
format (grades 5-8) or poster
(K-4) how they would include
in their lives people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD). Kids likely
have in their families, classes,
or communities people with I/
DD, such as autism, Down’s
syndrome, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, etc. The
aim of the contest is to encourage kids to explore how they
can help others feel included
and valued.
Prizes will be awarded in
three categories: Grades K-4
class poster, Grades 5-8 individual essay or Grades 5-8
PowerPoint projects. First,
second, and third place winners of each category will be
awarded $100, $75, or $50 respectively. Each entry will be

recognized with a certificate.
The first year winner of
the contest was Erika Liddle’s
South Kortright 6th grade class
which read the book 10 Every
Child with Autism Wishes You
Knew, by Ellen Notbohm.
Liddle recommends that other teachers enter the contest.
“You need to do it: you have a
chance to make a difference in
how children see things, and
this is a great opportunity to
build compassion.” She said
her students made a connection to a former classmate by
realizing why he had behaved
certain ways. They developed
a new understanding of his
behavior and formulated ways
they could have better included him.
For more information about
this contest or for entry forms
contact The Arc of Delaware
County, Community Relations
Department, Barbara Thompson at 865-7126 or e-mail
B.thompson@delarc.org.

Wendy Depew Partelow Is Called
As Interim Pastor at Baptist Church
BAINBRIDGE - Wendy
Depew Partelow has recently
been called as Interim Pastor at First Baptist Church of
Bainbridge. Pastor Wendy is
a recent graduate of Palmer
Theological Seminary (previously Eastern Baptist). She
completed her field education
experience through First Baptist Church of Norwich and
The Place, a Neighborhood
Action Program of American
Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA), mentoring under the
Reverend David Spiegel. Her
clinical pastoral training was
accomplished through Hospice and Palliative Care in
New Hartford.
As an active member of
the ABC-NYS Minister’s
Council, Wendy sits on the
board as vice president for
the Eastern Sectional region.
She is also involved with the
Chenango Housing Council
and Homeless Subcommittee, a coalition of agencies
working toward affordable
housing for low-income wage
earners, and seeking to serve
the homeless population in
Chenango County. Serving as
co-facilitator of Caring Christians Against Loneliness - an
advocacy task force working
toward educating the community about the effects of loneliness on individuals - Wendy
has become acutely aware of
how this condition manifests
itself in socially dysfunctional
ways. She assists in making
people aware of this epidemic
in our communities, and works
to help those who are lonely
find their own sense of peace
within the Body of Christ.
Pastor Wendy is available
at the church on Wednesdays
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and also
by appointment. She leads a
Bible Study on Wednesdays
at noon. The sanctuary is open
on Wednesdays for prayer or
refuge. Worship services at
PUZZLE CORNER
Across
First Baptist are at 10 a.m. on
Sunday, with Sunday School
for young people held during
the second half of worship.
An Adult Study follows the
service led by a member of
the congregation. The Lord’s
Supper is celebrated on the
first Sunday of every month,
followed by a dinner hosted by
members of the congregation.
Pastor Wendy can be
contacted at the church on
Wednesdays at 967-8034 or
you may contact her directly
at: 315-750-0997. She is very
blessed to be serving such a
warm and caring faith community where everyone is
welcome. You are too.

On the Farm
Here on the farm it has been
very cold and doing the chores
is quite difficult, the animals
like the warmer weather better
as well as all of us. We have had
some calves born outside and
in the barn. So far there have
been bulls with some of them
being quite large. The mothers
seem to be doing ok and we
will try to keep them well and
milking to feed the calves and
milk in the tank to be taken by
the milk truck somewhere to
be processed. The milk truck
comes every other day to pick
up the milk so keep your eyes
open. They take up quite a bit of
the road when they are parked
at the farm. There is some acres
of corn that the ears of corn that
are drying down to be combined
as soon as they are ready and
will be made into corn meal to
be used to feed the cows this
winter. They combine travels to
a lot of farms in our area and we
hope the weather keeps good
for them to complete their job
and stay safe.
Thank You
Many thanks to all who contributed food items and time
working on the Hunters Ham
Supper at the Masonville Federated Church on Nov. 15, the
first day of rifle deer season. We
were kept busy feeding all and
appreciate those who came to
the supper and helped to make
it a success this year. Good luck
to all the hunters out there and
stay safe in the woods. There
are places that take the deer if
you do not want the meat; they
help feed the hungry. Contact
your local Conservation office
to learn of these places.
Condolences
We were saddened to learn
of the passing of Mrs. Carol
Bennett who used to travel our
roads as a local mail carrier.
She was so friendly and would
stop and talk to her customers
as well as wave to all she knew
along her route. Harold recalls a
day when there was a turtle that
was always in the road when he
took the manure to spread. One
day Carol stopped to pick the
turtle out of the road and into a
safe place so it wouldn’t get hit,
he thought it was quite unique
of her. Sympathy is extended to
her family and friends.
Sympathy is also extended to
the family and friends of a longtime resident of Sidney Center,
Mrs. Winifred Ruff, who passed
away recently.
Birthday Greetings
Birthday greetings this week
go out to Clare Sterchak on Nov.
27; Reed Gary Scott on Nov. 28;
and a very Happy Wedding Anniversary to Keith and Colleen
Scott on Nov. 26. Have a great
day everyone.

overall experience. The mass
majority of the surveys came
back with fours and fives. The
questions included asking if
the information was helpful in
understanding what their child
was working on in school and
how to help at home; if they
would attend an event like
this in the future; if they were
pleased they attended the event;
overall feeling about the event;
and if they would recommend
it to other parents.
“We want to improve communication with the community and continue to improve
student achievement,” Hansen
said. “I enjoyed that people
who came got something out
of it.”
Hansen, who noted the
planning of this event was a
collaborative effort between
administrators, instructional
coaches, guidance counselors,
and teachers, said the school is
planning a second Family Engagement Night for later in the
school year.
Sidney School Hosts Successful
First Family Engagement Night
SIDNEY - Twenty-five families and nearly 100 people took
part in Sidney Central School’s
first Family Engagement Night
on Oct. 29, taking advantage of
a night planned for kindergarten through eighth grade.
The goal of the evening was
to increase communication,
collaboration, and provide informative sessions for parents
in the district to better support
their children, and that goal
was met, said Robert Hansen,
Sidney’s elementary school
principal.
“We were delighted many
families came out and got
something out of it,” Hansen
said. “Our goal is to continue to
engage families and make sure
our kids keep improving.”
Child care was provided for
the night, allowing parents to
take part in different sessions.
Dinner was also provided, and
if families wanted them, a family portrait was also taken.
The informational sessions
were conducted by teachers
and administrators. The administrative team held a session focusing on different aspects of the school, including
items such as unfamiliar terms
students may be using.
The main sessions also included ones in math and ELA,
with parents able to select two
sessions to attend. Eleven sessions were offered and lasted
25 minutes each.
“I think it was really good
and it was well organized,”
said Leeta Crowley, who has
two children in the elementary
school at Sidney – in kindergarten and second grade. “Having
the daycare was good as it let
the parents focus. … We could
check and get all information
to help our kids for school and
in the future.”
Following the sessions, parents were asked to fill out surveys. The results were overwhelmingly positive. Some of
the suggestions including having longer sessions, more time
for questions, including noncore classes and the STEM
program.
Surveys also noted people
would like more time for the
dinner and the pictures. There
was a lot of praise about the
details and work that went into
planning the night.
Besides filling out questions
about individual aspects, those
in attendance had the chance
to rate, on a scale of 1-5, the
