HARRISBURG,
PENN.
– The Susquehanna River
Basin Commission is urging New York’s U.S. senators and congressmen to help
secure federal funds to avert
the March 1 shut-down of 18
stream gauges and 16 rain
gauges in the southern tier.
The gauges generate data used
by NOAA’s National Weather
Service (NWS).
Sidney Village Mayor Andy
Matviak expressed concern
over the pending shut down
saying that this would affect
the local analysis of possible
flooding. Matviak said the
information provided is “very
important in our issuing of
warnings to our people.” He
noted that this does not involve the monitoring program
run by Rich Townsend at the
Sidney Central School that involves the Unadilla River.
SRBC Executive Director Paul Swartz says that
“$215,000 is all that is needed
to keep the stream and water
gauges going this year. To allow these very gauges that
help save lives and reduce
millions in property damages
to be shut down will undoubtedly increase risks to public
health and safety.”
Matviak joins in pointing
out that with early flood warnings businesses and residents
living in flood-prone areas
have time to secure their properties and get themselves to
safer locations before flooding
begins.
It was less than two years
ago when Tropical Storm Lee
devastated southern tier communities, including record
flood levels in Binghamton,
Owego, Vestal, Waverly,
Rockdale and Sherburne.

Lori Schneider has a long history in food service, beginning with her
grandparents’ beloved Penguin Ice Cream Shop on Route 8 between
Deposit and Masonville, where she dished up delicious ice cream treats
and eventually took over the operations when her father retired. One
winter, when the shop normally would have closed for the season, Lori
moved the 50-year-old enterprise to Main Street, Sidney where it would
remain open year-round. She renamed the shop Treats and Eats and
expanded the menu to offer homemade meals and over 100 flavors of
scrumptious ice cream. Lori is open for business everyday at 6:30 a.m.
and closes Tuesday through Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m.,
Sunday at noon and Monday at 2 p.m.
For seven years, the long hours aggravated Lori’s lower limbs causing
horrible cramps and achy, heavy, restless legs that plagued her during
the day and kept her awake at night. The pain was killing her. When
she finally consulted with her doctor, he sent her to the New York Skin
& Vein Centers where an ultrasound revealed the problem and a simple
in-office procedure corrected Lori’s varicose veins and poor blood
circulation. Almost immediately, Lori could sleep comfortably through
the night without cramps or restless symptoms and her legs no longer
felt like lead. In fact, Lori is so delighted by how much better she
feels that she wants to share her experience with you.

the organization, it is with great
pride that the chapter recognizes
the service of other women in
the tri-town area.
The recipients of this award
are very special women who
have enriched our communities in many different ways.
These are all women who think
that what they have achieved
is ordinary and that everyone
does what they do. They do not
realize what they have contributed to the quality of life in our
local communities. They are
working behind the scenes in
our churches, our schools, our
fire departments, our neighborhoods, wherever there is a need
or wherever someone might
need a helping hand. The only
requirement is that the nominee
may not be or have been a member of Beta Sigma Phi.
If you have submitted a
nomination in the past and your
nominee was not chosen, we
hope that you would consider
updating the nomination.
If you know one of these
special ladies and would like to
nominate her for the First Lady
award or would like to update

Save Our Schools (Continued from Page 1)
and I am a junior from the Unatego Central School, a small,
rural school with a student
population of 1,000 in grades
K-12. My school, Unatego, is
not well known for anything
special. We don’t have any
famous alumni, and we rarely
win state championships. We
are a normal, average school.
Probably very similar to other
school districts represented
right in this crowd. Unatego
offers the core programs, nothing more, nothing less. We
don’t have an equestrian team
and we don’t offer a variety of
foreign languages. We don’t
even have cross country. We
have football and Spanish and
the basics, no we really have
even less than the basics.
Over the last two years
our superintendent has had
to cut and cut. You see, unlike wealthy schools, we
don’t have a large tax base
to draw from, we depend on
state aid. We are already at
a disadvantage because our
median household income is
$31,592, which is well below
the New York State average of
$46,766. Because of the cuts
to our school’s aid and the two
percent property tax cap, we
have lost friends and mentors
and programs that we will
never get back. Honestly, I
am tired of losing these things.
I am tired of losing technology and history electives. I am
tired of losing good teachers. I
am tired of losing a variety of
sports programs. I am tired of
laying awake nights thinking I
won’t get to the college of my
choice because my school cut
AP classes and therefore I can
not compete with other students from districts that have
these opportunities. It’s time
to do something about it. We
need legislative action now,
no more kicking the can down
the road.
Six years ago the highest
court in New York State ruled
the state government was
not doing enough to foster a
sound and basic education for
the students in the poorer districts of New York State. That
was six years ago, and still
nothing has been done. That is
shameful and it seems to me
no one is listening. Gov. Cuomo, we are not expendable. I
am not asking for the moon
and stars, just the basics. I
am asking to keep my one foreign language, and my three
AP courses. Gov. Cuomo, I
want – no, I need your help
because frankly, I don’t know
what the future holds for my
school. Aid is based on need,
and for years New York State
has been providing aid to dis-
tricts who honestly don’t need
it. These districts can provide
Advanced Placement Courses, intramural sports, as well
as multiple foreign language
courses using their property
tax base. I am just one student
whose education has been
limited. Unatego’s problems
are the same problems for
(students in many other districts). It’s past time to correct
the inequities in education in
this state. Let’s start doing it.

question of whether flooding
will occur in the Susquehanna
River Basin, but rather when
it will occur and how severe it
will be.”
Mayor Matviak joins in urging residents to contact their
political representatives to impress on them the importance
of keeping the stream and rain
gauges operational.
There are 18 stream gauges
involved and 16 rain gauges. Those stream gauges
in Chenango Co. include:
Chenango River- Greene,
Norwich, Oxford, Sherburne;
Susquehanna River – Bainbridge; and Unadilla River,
Rockdale. In Otsego Co., it involves the Susquehanna River
– Oneonta.
Rain gauges locally in
Chenango Co. include Bainbridge, Oxford and Sherburne
and in Otsego Co., Morris and
Oneonta.

25 YEARS AGO
February 24, 1988
Ed Skinner, of Skinner’s
Crabs, has expanded his fresh
fish business from Unadilla
and is now open weekends on
Riverside, Sidney.
A meeting last week between local officials and NYS
DOT reps appeared productive. The area of concern is Rt.
8 coming down off Masonville Hill and its intersection,
first with I-88, then with Delaware Ave. and further down
with River St. DOT agreed to
put in a pedestrian button on
Delaware Ave. to prolong the
light and to do a traffic study
and pedestrian count to assess
the situation. Those concerned
want a flashing light at the top
of Masonville Hill, better signage for truckers with reduced
speed, grade percent and
length of hill. There have been
21 accidents, including one
fatality due to brake failure,
from the top of Masonville
Hill, not including accidents
at the River St. intersection.
To date, the new Sidney
Memorial Library Fund has
$186,720.96 pledged. Of that
amount, $158,700.32 has been
received.
Sarah Pressler, sales director with Mary Kay Cosmetics,
and Linda Gush, asst. superintendent for instruction at

held at Cathedral Farms in

The principle topic of conversation about town (and
everywhere for that matter)
is the weather. A resident here
for the past 12 years, who
lives near the river, says this
is the first time he has seen
the Susquehanna frozen from
bank to bank in the area just
above the river bridge.
From the Files – Feb. 18,
1938 – Jacques Singer, 27,
who charmed the congregation at St. Matthew’s Unadilla
with his violin when 15 years
old, conducted the conclusion
of Beethoven’s Fifth symphony in the inaugural concert of
the rehabilitated Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The nominee of Leopold Stokowski,
Singer conducted without
baton, without score and with
only the fire of his youth, the
fervor of his musical spirit and
the hierophantic authority of
his unique system of gestures
and signals.
Fresh Air Fund
Hosts Needed
SIDNEY- The Fresh Air Fund
is looking for volunteers to host
fresh air children this summer.
The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer experiences to
more than 1.7 million New York
City area children from low-income communities since 1877.
Fresh Air children are boys
and girls, 6-18 years old. Children on first-time visits are 6-12
years old and stay for one or two
weeks. Children who are re-invited by host families may continue until age 18. Over 65 percent of all children are re-invited
to stay with their host families.
If you are interested in hosting
a Fresh Air child contact Elaine
DeVost at 563-7156 or the Fresh
Air Fund at 800-367-0003. You
can also visit the Fresh Air Fund
online at www. freshair.org.
Well, we are halfway
through winter, even more:
with global warming, spring
may be only six weeks away.
With some very cold weather,
and a blizzard (if only the
fringes of one), under our belt,
we can at least for a day lay
aside our serious concerns and
enjoy a laugh or two.
So did the people who
heard Julie Andrews celebrate
her 79th birthday at Radio
City Music Hall with an updated version of “My Favorite
Things” from “The Sound of
Music” – if you never saw it,
you’ll at least have heard of
it and probably can sing the
tune. One of her present favorite things, she warbled, was
Botox (and whether she used
it or not, she still looked very
pretty) but then she went on to
celebrate developments a lot
of us are familiar with:
“Cadillacs and cataracts,
hearing aids and glasses,
“Polident and Fixodent and
false teeth in glasses,
“Back pain, confused brains
and no need for sinning,
“Hot tea and crumpets and
corn pads for bunions,
“No spicy hot food or food
cooked with onions,
“Thin bones and fractures
and hair that is thinning.”
However, she concluded
with her own particular thanks,
and lucky are we if we can say
the same and be thankful for
it:
“When the joints ache,
“When the hips break,
“When the eyes grow dim,
“Then I remember the great
life I’ve had,
“And then I don’t feel so
bad.”
The last thing I heard of the
von Trapps they had a ski resort in New England, but I suppose they are history now, like
all those not so lucky as they,
but it’s reassuring to know that
as long as there is music, there
will be Julie Andrews.
A reader sent me some of
the most memorable remarks
– and remarkers – of our age,
and these are worth bearing in
mind, too:
“In my lifetime I have come
to the conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a
law firm, and three is a congress,” and he ought to know
because he was John Adams.
“If you don’t read a newspaper, you are uninformed. If
you do, you are misinformed.”
This is Mark Twain, of course,
but at the rate at which dailies
are becoming defunct, you
will soon via TV be twice as
uninformed and three times as
misinformed.
“A liberal is someone who
feels a great debt to his fellow man which he proposes
to pay off with your money.”
–Anonymous
I’m still working on the
Higgs boson, but once I understand it, I will pass it on
–perhaps next year.
Seward Stands With
Gun Owners at Rally
ALBANY – State Senator James L. Seward recently
joined in a rally outside the
state Capitol in support of gun
owners’ rights.
“Law abiding gun owners
made the trip to Albany to exercise their First Amendment
right and express their opposition to the governor’s gun
control bill – which tramples
on their Second Amendment
right.” I was proud to stand
with them.
“I voted no on the NY
SAFE-Act because, while
it does take some positive
steps toward dealing with the
mentally ill, it just isn’t tough
enough on the real criminals
who get guns illegally. The
bill was rushed through with
no opportunity for public
hearings and fails to address
the real problems that have
led to recent tragic shootings.
It is punitive, extreme and
confiscatory.”

Rabies Clinic Will Be March 16
At Norwich Fire Station
NORWICH – A free rabies
clinic will be held Saturday,
March 16 from 9 – 11 a.m. at
the Norwich Fire Station.
New York State Public
Health Rabies Law requires
all dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets to receive immunization against Rabies no later
than four months of age and
NYS Ag & Markets requires
dogs to be licensed at four
months of age.
If your dog, cat or ferret
is not currently vaccinated
against rabies and is involved
in biting an individual, it must
be confined for 10 days at an
approved facility at the owner’s expense. If the animal
is currently vaccinated and
involved in a bite incident, it
may be confined at home, for
the 10 day period.
If your animal is bitten by
or exposed to a rabid or suspected rabid animal and is
currently immunized, a vaccine booster dose must be administered within five days.
If unvaccinated, the animal
must be adequately (approval
required) quarantined for six
months in accordance with
Public Health Law.
When attending a rabies
clinic, animals must be under
control. Dogs must be on a
leash. Cats should be transported in a box, crate, pillowcase, or other container.
Animals vaccinated for the
very first time must be re-vaccinated the following year to
qualify for three year coverage
at that time. Please bring the
previous vaccination record to
verify if your pet is eligible for
three year coverage.
Rabies clinics are free
but donations are gratefully
accepted.

An article from “The Crutch”, a newsletter from U.S.A. General
Hospital in Annapolis, Maryland, May 13, 1875.
Meeting of Gens. Grant and Lee by Carlton, of the
Boston Journal
Grant, hearing that Lee’s troops were short
of provisions, at once ordered twenty-five
thousand rations to be turned over to Lee’s
commissaries.
Gen. Grant had anticipated the surrender of
Lee, and brought all of the energy of the army
to bring about that result. The question of terms
The McLean House where
had been discussed the evening previous
Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen.
around Grant’s campfire. Gen. Grant said that
Grant. Picture from Campfires
he wanted such a surrender as would break
and Battlefields by Rossiter
down the positions which France and England
Johnson, 1967
had taken, recognizing the rebels as belligerents. He did not wish for humiliating terms. He
would require a formal grounding of arms. The rebels were Americans. We were
citizens of a common country, and his object was to restore them to the Union,
and not to degrade them.
After the bitterness and hardships of the Civil War, its seems that General
Grant was very generous and lenient in his setting of terms for the surrender
of General Lee.
In the book Campfires and Battlefields: a Pictorial History of the Civil War,
by Rossiter Johnson, Civil War Press, 1967, we read that on April 9, 1865,
General Lee arrived at Appomattox Court House after having spent a day trying to
collect food from the surrounding countryside for his famished troops. Lee’s army
then advanced confidently until it met a heavy line of blue-coated infantry, which

Katie Rutenber Says Yes
To Timothy Day’s Proposal
SIDNEY – On Saturday,
Dec. 1, 2012, Timothy Day
of Whitney Point, convinced
his girlfriend, Katie Rutenber
of Sidney, to take a walk with
him in a local park. After much
persuasion Katie agreed to the
frigid cold walk, unaware of
Tim’s motives and that Tim’s
sister, Suzanne, was hiding
in the trees with a camera to
document the momentous
occasion.
Tim reviewed with Kate,
from a picture album, all the
fun they had dating and then
told her he didn’t want to date
her anymore. He then went
down on his knee and asked
her to marry him. She gladly
accepted his proposal.
And so, it is with great pleasure that we, Dave and Bev
Rutenber announce our daughter’s engagement to Tim Day,
son of Rick and Sally Day of
Whitney Point. Tim and Kate
are planning an Aug. 31 wed-
ding in Camillus.
Katie graduated from Sidney High School in 2009 and
OCC in 2011 and is employed
at ProActive Physical Therapy
in N. Syracuse in the billing
dept. Tim was homeschooled
and graduated from ESF in
2009 and works for New York
State DEC as a forester.
The couple plan to live in
the Syracuse area.

I gave up smoking and I had
smoked for many years. I never went back to smoking and
sorry I ever smoked in my life.
The reason I gave up smoking
is that I had no money at that
time and I even went “cold
turkey.” So if you are thinking of giving up smoking do it
now, it will be better for your
health. Just think of all the
money you will save.
If you have any money saving tips or ideas, please email

SIDNEY - The Sidney Police
Department arrested 44 year old
Kevin B. Duvall of Bird Ave.,
Sidney, on a charge of placing
a false bomb or hazardous
substance in the second degree,
a Class E Felony.
A female friend of Duvall
located what appeared to be a
pipe bomb in a desk drawer in
their residence. She contacted
village police, who contacted
the State Police Bomb Squad in
Albany. A search warrant was
executed at Duvall’s residence,
and the device was located in
the bedroom desk drawer.
An x-ray of the device
found to be inert, and it was
disassembled by the bomb
squad and turned over to village
police as evidence. This device
had no explosives, or trigger
mechanism, and could not
function at any time.
Duvall turned himself in to
Sidney Village Police, who
arrested him and arraigned him
before Justice Rose. He was
remanded to the custody of the
Delaware County Sheriff in lieu
of $5000 bail. He will return at
a later date to face court action.

Emil Martin Zona
UNADILLA - Emil Martin
(Marty) Zona, 74, of Unadilla, passed away peacefully at
his home on Sunday, Feb. 17,
2013.
Born on his family’s farm in
Jefferson on Sept. 28, 1938 he
was the son of the late Martin
and Mary (Materni) Zona, who
came to America from Hungary. He graduated from Jefferson
High School in 1957 and from
Delhi Ag. and Tech (now Delhi
College) in 1960. After serving
four years in the Air Force Mr.
Zona worked as a regional field
representative for Allis Chalmers Farm Machinery Corporation. During this time he taught
classes for other field representatives. He later became a service representative for Oneonta Tractor Sales. Afterwards he
was the manager of the parts
department at Wickham Motors in Delhi and then worked
as a painting specialist at the
Raymond Corp. in Greene.
He was a star basketball
player in high school and later on YMCA teams. An avid
sportsman, he was an enthusiastic hunter and snowmobile
fan. One of his favorite pastimes was viewing the tractor
pulls at county and state fairs.
He was a member of several
prize winning bowling and
bocce teams both in N.Y. and
Fla. Together with his wife,

Franklin Girls Win Second
Straight Tri-Valley Title
ONEONTA – Jordan Beers
scored 16 points and grabbed
16 rebounds in leading
unbeaten Franklin to its second
straight Tri-Valley League girls’
basketball championship with a
56-48 victory over Schenevus
Saturday at Oneonta State’s
Alumni Fieldhouse.
Schenevus led 15-14 with just
under a minute left in the first
quarter but the Purple Devils
went on a 15-0 run and Beers
finished the opening half with
20 points as Franklin enjoyed a
35-24 lead at intermission.
Marisa Cawley added 11
points and blocked four shots
while Haley Downin added
10 points and five rebounds
for Franklin, the number-one
seed in the Section IV Class D
tournament.
ONEONTA – A year ago,
Jon Wingate was a member
of the Sidney boys’ basketball
team that lost to Unatego in the
Midstate Athletic Conference
championship game.
If you can’t beat ’em, join
‘em.
Wingate, who moved into
the Unatego school district this
year, came up with three key
defensive plays over the final
minute of overtime to help
the Spartans hold onto to their
crown with a 53-50 victory over
his former club Saturday before
a packed house at Oneonta
State’s Alumni Fieldhouse.
Wingate, a senior, took a pair
of charges and also dived to
save a loose ball to a teammate.
Tied at 50, Sidney’s Damian
Zimmer drove to the hole with
41.3 seconds left only to run into
the Wingate Wall. Not only did
Wingate force the turnover with
the charge, it forced Zimmer
(12 points) to the bench with his
fifth foul.
On
Unatego’s
ensuing
possession, Austin McCarroll,
who replaced Zimmer, slapped
the ball away from Tanner
Winchester, but Wingate dived
for the loose ball and slapped
it to teammate Quinn Barnhart,
who turned it into the gamewinning hoop with 27 seconds
left.
Still, Sidney had another
chance and, after a timeout, got
the ball down low to Joe Matzel,
who led the Warriors with 17
points and 11 rebounds.
Matzel spun with Wingate
defending him. However, the
smaller Wingate stood his
ground and was bulled over.
Tweet. Offensive foul on
Matzel and Unatego ball with
nine seconds left in the extra
session.
Unatego coach Jim Knight
called time and got his best free
throw shooter, Johnathan Forte,
on the floor. The move proved
to be the right one as Forte was
fouled. Forte made the first but
missed the second free throw,
giving Sidney a last chance.
However, Hunter Sowersby’s
desperation
three-pointer
missed.
Brandon Walters added 10
points for Sidney (16-2), who
enters this week’s Section IV
Class C tournament as the
top seed. The loss to Unatego
snapped a 16-game winning
streak.
Kellen Komenda scored 12
points while both Winchester
and Tyler Butler scored 11
points for the Spartans, 144 and the seventh seed in the
tournament.

Well At Disney Showcase
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA.
– The CNY U-16 and U-19 field
hockey teams performed well at
the Disney Showcase in Lake
Buena Vista, Fla. Feb. 7-10.
The U-16 squad placed 2nd
in the first and second rounds
of pool play, placing them in
the top 12 U16 teams in the
nation. In the medal rounds,
they won the second flight. This
accomplishment placed them
in the top 5 U-16 teams in the
nation.
The U-19 squad also played
well, finishing second in their
respective pool play.
Both teams were coached
by Nicole Huston of Whitney
Point and assisted by Danielle

surrounding areas for over
30 years and was founded by

on by two of her sons, Josh and
Casey, and Huston.
The Disney Showcase is
comprised of 96 teams at
the U16 and U19 levels. It is
designed to showcase student
athletes from around the world.
Unadilla Valley Trips Up Unatego
In MAC Girls’ Championship Tilt
ONEONTA – Unadilla Valley
girls’ basketball coach Brandi
Backus has been building
her program for several years
and, Saturday, it paid off
with the school’s first-ever
Midstate Athletic Conference
championship.
Jordan Anderson and Amanda
Off scored 17 and 13 points,
respectively, to lead the Storm
to a 44-34 victory over Unatego
in the title game played at
Oneonta State.
Unatego got off to a quick
start, scoring the first eight
points of the game, but UV
didn’t crack and went on a 203 run, including a 16-1 stretch
to begin the second quarter, that
helped the Storm gain the lead.
Unatego trailed 31-26 entering
the fourth quarter and got to 3531 with 3:30 to play on a Kayla
Talbot (8 points) putback, but
UV quickly bumped the lead to
44-32 on two Anderson buckets
and three-pointer by Taylor
Davis.
Casey Manzanero scored 8
points before fouling out for
Unatego, who will continue into
Class C sectional play.

FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
By Pastor John Koopman,
Bainbridge First Baptist Church
Puzzle Corner
In Matt 19: 13-14 we see verses that speak to our modern
society so well. The disciples didn’t think that children should
be brought to Jesus. We also see in Matt 18: 6 that Christ gets
extremely mad verbally at adults that don’t bring children to
Him. Outside our church a few weeks ago I had the following
on our Bulletin Board: “Massacres, School and Home Problems
can Be Cured: Attend Church.” I believe with my whole heart
that the massacres we have seen from Connecticut to Columbine, the divorces we see, the wars we participate in, the problems in schools, the alcoholism, drugs, excessive welfare stems
from not teaching and living God’s way. Until parents, school
leaders, teachers, government leaders, set the example by attending and bringing themselves to church we will continue to
have and deserve to have the problems we are having in modern
society. When I say “attend church” I mean to listen, think, and
apply the principles that the Bible teaches. One can be in church
physically, but not there with their minds and thinking. Proverbs 22:6 says “train up and a person won’t depart when one is
old.” Adults set the examples. So many children, adult children
behave wrongly because their parents and leaders were lazy,
were idols to themselves thinking they knew what was best for
their children. Idols crumble. Children with idols as gods have
these idols crumble when they face crises in later years. Only
God knows best. God is the physician that can heal. Churches
are Spiritual ICU facilities that have 100% successes. Obama,
Cuomo, Bush, don’t have the answers like God. As we trust God
we have peace, we have hope, we have joy. May all peoples say
Amen.

Afton Food Pantry to Take Part
In $1M Giveaway to Fight Hunger
AFTON - For the 16th consecutive year, Alan Shawn
Feinstein will divide $1 million among hunger fighting
agencies nationwide, using it
to help them raise funds during March and April 2013.
Donations to the Afton
Food Pantry will be tallied
and submitted to the Feinstein
Foundation so that our local
food pantry can receive a proportionate amount of the $1
million dollars.
Checks payable to: Afton
Interchurch Council, mailed
to Diane Gardner, Treasurer,
1038 County Road 30, Afton,
NY 13730, memoed “Afton
Food Pantry Feinstein Challenge”, dated between March
1 and April 30 and received by
May 1, will count for the challenge. Canned and boxed food
items may be brought to the
Food Pantry, located at the Afton United Methodist Church,
36 Spring Street, Afton during the months of March and
April and will count toward
the challenge, with a value of
$1 per item. Only currently
dated, staple food items in undamaged original containers
can be accepted.
The Afton Food Pantry is
open on Mondays from 5 – 7
p.m., and on Wednesdays from
9 - 11 a.m. The Food Pantry
continues to serve a substantial number of families, the
elderly, and individuals in the
Afton community. Local support is appreciated. The Food
Pantry is staffed by volunteers
and all funds and food received are used exclusively by
the Food Pantry to help people
in need.
Defibrillator Fund Drive Underway
New defibrillators are needed for emergency responders
throughout Delaware County.
The last fundraising drive to
purchase them was conducted
in Jan., 2000. In 2011, Public
Health donated four new defibrillators to replace the most
outdated models. It is estimated
that each new defibrillator will
cost approximately $2,000.
Automatic external defibrillators can make the difference
between life and death when
an individual goes into Sudden
Cardiac Arrest “SCA.” SCA
is the nation’s largest killer,
striking dead over 300,000
people annually; more deaths
than AIDS, breast cancer and
strokes. If an AED is used within the first 2-4 minutes after a
victim suffers/collapses from
SCA, the probability of survival
escalates from 10 to 60 percent.
For every minute that a victim
waits, his/her chance of survival
decreases 10 percent.
AEDs can also be used to
benefit children now because
their manufacturers have provided a pediatric cable for them
which is capable of reducing the
amount of energy the AED delivers to a child from one year
old to puberty.
Since our population is distributed sparsely, defibrillators
should be standard equipment
in the automobiles used by all
emergency responders. This
is an ambitious and expensive
project – but also a necessary
one. This fundraiser is being
sponsored jointly by the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office
and Delaware County Emergency Services Department.
Call Sheriff Thomas E. Mills
at 746-2336 or EMS Coordinator Steve Hood at 746-9600 if
you have any questions. Donations are payable to the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office
at 280 Phoebe Lane, Suite One,
Delhi, NY 13753, designate
“Defibrillator Fund” on the reference line.
