in their classroom and hallway.
I am extremely thankful
to Mike Townsend, technical

me on the use of their acrylics

their products donated to this

My special thanks to Andy
Nacastri who said “yes” to my
request to attach the mural to
his building on South Broad

will see it.
Due to the high location of
the mural and the weight of
the panels, it was important to
have brave, strong installers so
my deep gratitude goes to Bill
Lien of J&B Construction and
his helpers, Rich Riefenburg
and Jeremiah Izzie. Also, the
following employees from
Frontier donated their contacts,
equipment and time to lift the
panels up onto the roof; Deb

Quote of the Week
The quote for the week is
from Anna Quindlin: “How
we spend our days is how we
spend our lives.” Life can be
exciting or not depending on
the career we choose and if
we enjoy what we are doing
from day to day. Explore all
your options before you make
decisions concerning your
life, there is much out there to
explore.
School News
The school year is coming to
an end and grades are having
lots of trips and outings. Enjoy
these last days of school. Good
luck too and have a great summer. The senior class is having
many activities leading up to
graduation, which takes place
at the transportation center at
10 a.m. on Saturday, June 27.
Good luck to all the seniors,
we hope your future is all you
wish it to be.
The last day for students will
be Thursday, June 25. Keep up
your reading throughout the
summer months and you will
have a great start to the upcoming classes for the fall.
On the Farm
This has been a busy week
around all the showers we
have had. When it is not raining, which seems every day,
hay has been mowed and
chopped. It seems that a lot
can be done before the rain
takes over. Haying has been
getting done all around wherever we are traveling these
days. The cows are milking
well and some are being dried
off to calve later, more are
freshening to take their place
and keep things going strong.
We still have some kittens that
need a home, one just got hit
in the road; we would rather
see them have a home than die
in the road. Cars seem to be
coming faster these days and
kittens are always following
us around.

Knapp Demonstrates Toymaking
At Oxford Farmers’ Market
OXFORD - Join Oxford
artist John Knapp on Saturday,
June 20, from 10 a.m. to noon,
as he demonstrates how easy it
is to make fun toys. This free
workshop takes place in the
bandstand of LaFayette Park,
Village of Oxford, during the
Oxford Farmers’ Market.
Knapp will show how
to make a basic automata
toy using little more than
clothespins and imagination.

will take home their very own
Clothespin Critter.
“By using some simple
mechanics,” Knapp explained,
“we can create movement bringing the toys to life.”
John Knapp has run
Knapp Knoll Woodworks,

creating heirloom, quality
toys, since 2002.
“The
materials

This is Amay. She is shown
here lounging on a homemade
sweater bed crafted by a local Girl Scout Troop. She is
shy and quiet, and her favorite
activity is actually cuddling
up with her best friend Zorro.
The two didn’t come in together but after spending time
with each other in a colony
they became buddies. It would
be great to see the two of them
adopt out together, but their
new family would have to respect and understand how very
shy the two of them are. They
would go in to hiding, and this
is something they may do for
a very long time. A room with
a large crate, with bedding in
it so there would be a place for
security may be a help. This
room should be shut off from
the rest of the home so as not
to lose your new housemate.
A cat room, so to speak would
be ideal.
Amay is approximately 5
years old and she is spayed.
She has been in our shelter
since Sept. 20, 2010. So, it’s
time; Amay needs a home.

Franklin Stage Co.Presents
Oscar Wilde Dramatic Comedy
FRANKLIN - The Franklin
Stage Company presents the
first performance of its 2015
Works-in-Progress
productions, An Ideal Husband by
Oscar Wilde, directed by Lauren Unbekant on Thursday,
June 25 at 8 p.m. Both sparkling comedy and resonant
drama, this masterpiece from
1895 takes place over a 24
hour period, the plot revolving
around a compelling array of
characters engaged in personal
intrigue and political corruption. Performances continue
on Saturday, June 27 at 8 p.m.
and Sunday, June 28 at 5 p.m.
(no performance on Friday
June 26), and then pick up the
following week Thursday, July
2 and Friday, July 3 at 8 p.m.,
Saturday, July 4 at 2 p.m., and
Sunday, July 5 at 5 p.m.
“These Works-in-Progress
productions are explorations
by inventive directors of magnificent texts, playfully fusing
the lines between rehearsal and
performance,” says FSC Artistic Director Carmela Marner.
“At FSC this season, we are
embracing the notion of theatre
not as a finished product but as
a living, breathing creature,
growing all the time; we want
to emphasize that the presence
of the audience is crucial to
the development of a piece of
theatre.” Vital to each of these
Works-in-Progress
productions is the use of sound and/or
music during the process. Director Unbekant collaborates
with musician-composer Emmett Van Slyke, and they bring
their innovative approach to
this classic text. “Working together,” says Unbekant, “with
music and sound blending
seamlessly with the actors’
physicality and movement, we
seek to reveal a dramatic concept of the human condition
through pattern, repetition,
tempo and composition.”
The cast includes FSC veterans Julian Fleisher (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, What
the Butler Saw; FSC benefit
concerts), Andrew Kahl (The
Winter’s Tale), Nina Wray
(Jane Austen on Stage), Hugh
Timoney (incl. The Winter’s
Tale, Tartuffe, A Doll’s House)
and FSC Artistic Director Carmela Marner, as well as new
additions Caroline Kinsolving
(whose many credits include
Amanda in Noel Coward’s
Private Lives at International
City Theatre in Long Beach)
and 2015 Senior Intern/SUNY
Oneonta graduate Rosalee
DeHuff.
At FSC, admission is free
(donations gratefully accepted) and reservations are recommended. Call 829-3700
or reserve@franklinstagecompany.org. FSC is located in
Chapel Hall, 25 Institute St.,
Franklin, opposite Franklin
Central School. Programming
continues to be made possible,
in part, by the New York State
Council on the Arts with the
support of Governor Andrew
Cuomo and the New York
State Legislature. More details

Dietz Street, Oneonta Mural
To Be Unveiled This Friday
ONEONTA - During Fabulous Friday, June 19 at 6 p.m.,
the first of five long-awaited
murals will be unveiled on the
Dietz Street wall of the Oneonta History Center, 183 Main
St. The first mural depicts Galinn’s Jewelry, the last business
on the site before the Greater
Oneonta Historical Society
bought the oldest brick building on Main St. in 2000.
The other five murals, each
depicting daily life of a previous occupant of the building,
are scheduled to be unveiled
each month between July and
October. They are painted by
artist Carol Mandigo and will
be installed over the first floor
windows, which were bricked
over many decades ago.
The mural project is supported by the Broome,
Chenango & Otsego Decentralization (DEC) Program,
administered by the Chenango Arts Council, and is made
possible by the New York
State Council on the Arts
with the support of Governor
Andrew Cuomo and the NYS
Legislature. The project was
also supported by Main Street
Oneonta (now Destination
Oneonta) and many private
donors.

SIDNEY WARRIORS MARCHING BAND
Sidney School Ensembles and Marching Band
Perform Well at Sherburne Pageant of Bands
SIDNEY - The Sidney Jazz
Ensemble, Small Ensemble,
Concert Band, Marching
Band and Drumline competed
in the 66th Annual Sherburne
Pageant of Bands June 5 and
6. Sidney competed in the “A”
Division at this year’s pageant,
which represented schools
from all over New York State,
in addition to a school from
Madison, S.D. This was also
Sidney’s 44th year competing
at the pageant of bands, which
puts them at number six on the
all-time longest schools list
participating at Sherburne.
Friday evening, the Jazz
Ensemble began the performances, and finished in a very
respectable 3rd place finish.
Following the “jazzers,” the
Small Ensemble performed
for the judges, where they
gave a very musical performance, and were rewarded for
their efforts with a solid 3rd
place finish.
Saturday was a beautiful
day for a band pageant, and
the warriors came ready to
give it their all. The combined
JH/HS Concert Band gave a
very musical performance,
and finished 3rd overall in the
demanding concert category
The afternoon stayed sunny
and breezy, and the Sidney
Warriors stayed focused, placing 5th in the parade category
of the pageant.
Shortly after the end of the
parade, the tired but determined drumline competed in
the cadence competition, and
placed 4th overall in this competitive category.
All in all, it was an excellent
day for the Sidney Warriors.
All band members are to be
congratulated for an outstanding effort. Your hard work, focus and dedication have paid
off, and you should be extremely proud of yourselves.
The Warriors want to thank
the school and community for
their continued support and
look forward to attending next
year’s 67th annual pageant of
the bands.

Sue Ann Bernhardt
UNADILLA - On Thursday, June 11, a kind heart
stopped beating and the soul
of Sue Ann Bernhardt began
its journey to heaven. Sue was
surrounded by loving family

Bernhardt.
Sue taught high school science at Andes High School for
several years. She also worked
as a CNA at the Delhi Infirmary until multiple sclerosis
made it impossible to work.
To know Sue was to love
her. She only saw the good in
everyone she met. Once you
were introduced to her, she
considered you a friend for
life. Equally important to her
were her beloved pets. She
never met an animal she didn’t
love.
Sue is survived by her father and step-mother, Herman
and Judy Bernhardt, Unadilla;
brother, Ed Bernhardt, Fitchburg, Wisc.; sister, Pat Laube
and husband Dave, Pittsfield,
Maine; nieces, Jennifer, Elizabeth and Rebecca Laube;

many cousins; also, special
family friends, Ed and June
Snover and their daughters Joy
and Lisa, her fiancé, Richard J.
Glassmire and future parentsin-law, Julie and Larry Venth.
Sue was predeceased by
her mother, Myrtle Ellen Danning; and several aunts, uncles
and cousins.
Visitation will be Thursday, June 18 at CH Landers

funeral Mass will be Friday,

Laura B. Kishbaugh
MT. UPTON - Laura B.
(Crawford) Kishbaugh, age
86, passed away surrounded
by family on June 13, 2015.
Laura’s life ended the same
way she lived; peacefully
and with dignity. Laura was
born in Unadilla on March,
28, 1929. She was the fourth
2nd Annual SIDS Awareness Walk
Being Planned for October in Sidney
SIDNEY - Protect Our Angels is a local SIDS Awareness
Walk initiated in 2014 in Sidney. It was started by Michael
and Krista Grove after the loss
of their daughter, Jenny, with
the assistance of Pastor Frank
Donnelly and his wife Loretta
of the Sidney Bible Baptist
Church.
This year’s walk is being
planned for October 3 with
early registration starting now
through July 31.
The purpose of the walk is
to raise awareness and provide
a memorial to all the babies
lost to SIDS. Protect Our Angels has become a small hope
for families affected by a loss
to SIDS. This walk is held in
memory of all the “angels”
lost to SIDS.
As the name implies, SIDS
is the sudden and unexplained
death of an infant who is
younger than one year old. It’s
a frightening prospect because
it can strike without warning,
usually in seemingly healthy
babies. Most SIDS deaths are
associated with sleep (hence
the common reference to
“crib death”) and infants who
die of SIDS show no signs of
suffering.
While most conditions or
diseases usually are diagnosed by the presence of specific symptoms, most SIDS
diagnoses come only after all
other possible causes of death
have been ruled out through a
review of the infant’s medical
history, sleeping environment
and autopsy. This review helps
distinguish true SIDS deaths
from those resulting from
accidents, abuse, and previously undiagnosed conditions,
such as cardiac or metabolic
disorders.
When considering which
babies could be most at risk,
no single risk factor is likely to
be sufficient to cause a SIDS
death. Rather, several risk factors combined may contribute
to cause an at-risk infant to die
of SIDS. Most deaths due to
SIDS occur between two and
four months of age, and incidence increases during cold
weather. African-American
infants are twice as likely and
Native American infants are
about three times more likely
to die of SIDS than Caucasian
infants. More boys than girls
fall victim to SIDS.
We are looking to do our
second walk this year and
are hoping to raise at least
$1,000. Help us raise our goal
of nine children to Laurence
and Luella Boyd. She married Walter Jack Crawford.
Together, they had four children; Dennis Jay, Kevin Boyd,
Laurinda Marie, and Walter
Jeffrey. Later, Laura married
Don Kishbaugh with whom
she pursued her love of travel
and strawberry daiquiris.
After graduating with
the first graduating class at
Broome Tech, Laura went to
work at Bendix as a technical secretary. She was proud
of her technical education
because “not many women
were trained like that back
then”. Later, Laura went on to
work for the New York State
Police as a BCI stenographer.
She was promoted to senior
stenographer and retired after
over 28 years of dedicated service. She then moved to Arizona with her second husband,
Don Kishbaugh.
Laura loved traveling, nature, cooking, and reading recipes that she rarely followed
while making delicious food
for co-workers, family, and
friends. A gentle soul, Laura
was a fierce competitor when
playing cards. She passed on
her passion for card playing
to her children and grandchildren at a very young age. Her
“take no prisoner” attitude for
card playing resulted in a family of card sharks.
Laura was predeceased by
Jack Crawford; Don Kishbaugh; and her siblings, Theron Boyd, Louise Shaver and
Alice Kishbaugh.
She is survived by her four
children and their spouses;
eight grandchildren and their
families including five beautiful great-grandchildren.
Friends may call Wednesday, June 17, from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. at C.H. Landers Funeral
Chapel, 21 Main St., Sidney. A
memorial service will follow
at 1 p.m. with Rev. Brandilynne Craver, Pastor of the
United Methodist Church of
Mt. Upton officiating. Burial
will be in Highland Cemetery
in Sidney Center.
In lieu of flowers, Laura can
be remembered with a heartfelt donation to one of her favorite charities, the Mt. Upton
Lions Club, PO Box 234, Mt.
Upton or the Mount Upton
United Methodist Church.

Herbert Harvey Sines
BAINBRIDGE - Herbert
Sines, 99, passed away on June
11 in Culpeper, Va.
He was predeceased by his
son, William Sines; his sister,
Dorothy Uline; stepdaughter,
Beverly Gowan; and stepson,
Richard Moffitt.
He is survived by his loving
wife of 47 years, Alice Sines;
daughter-in-law, Toni Sines;
stepson, Donald Moffitt; two
nephews, Bill Uline and Bob
Uline, both from Ala.; and
numerous grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
He was born in Woodside
and grew up in the Catskill
region before moving to the
Sidney area. He retired from
Bendix Corporation in 1980.
He was a member of the local Masons and held numerous positions during his early
years. Herb’s compassions besides his wife, were traveling,
horses, trains and cars. He and
Alice traveled to all the lower
48 states and there weren’t
many roads he wasn’t familiar
with as he was a walking atlas. He cared for three horses
and a pony during the time
he and Alice lived on their
small farm on a hill outside
of Bennettsville. Many family
picnics were held over the 26
years they lived there.
In 1995 they relocated to
Chuckey, Tenn., near Greenville, Tenn. as Herb was not
fond of the New York weather.
He loved his house and the
area and thoroughly enjoyed
his 18 years there. Shortly before turning 97, he and Alice
moved to Warrenton, Va. to be
closer to family. Herb dearly
missed his home in Tenn. and
his son, Bill, who passed away
earlier this year.
Friends may call Friday,
June 19, from 10 to 11 a.m. at
C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel,
21 Main St., Sidney. Funeral
services will follow at 11 a.m.

Knights of Columbus Hold 5th Annual Trap Shoot
SIDNEY - The Knights of
Columbus Council #4937 of
Sidney held their 5th annual
partners trap shoot on Saturday, June 6 at the Delchenego
Rod and Gun Club. The day
started cool, but turned to a
beautiful sunny day. This event
is not only a fundraiser for the
Knights but a way to show our
support for the shooting sports,
our 2nd Amendment rights,
while showcasing the beautiful facility provided by the host
club, Delchenego Road and
Gun Club. Our thanks for the
use of their club grounds and
buildings.
We started with the qualifying round where John Cordick
took high score with a 24 out of
25 for first place and Roy Beach
and Mike Cogshall tied for 2nd
place with 22 out of 26. Congratulations for showing that
the long winter did nothing to
dull their shooting abilities.
Next came the youth and
there were four two-person
teams, showing that the future
of the shooting sports will be in
good hands. It is both encouraging and helpful to see that good
and responsible parenting can
teach the young that the shooting sports are a great form of
competitive recreation, building discipline and character.
Thanks to John Cummings, coordinator of the youth shooters
and their parents and grandparents. The team of Hunter Gally
and Patrick Zuk took first place.
Second was the team of Robert
Constable and Kyle Gascon.
Third and forth place were separated by only one target with
Mylz Edwards and Brandon
Kane for 3rd and Dominick and
his sister, Lillian Siniscalchi for
4th
Next came the adult teams
and by the end of round one of
four, there was a “5 way” tie for
first place with scores of 25 out
of a possible 25 targets. At the
end of round 2, having moved
back to the 21 yd line from the
first round at the 16 yd line, a
separation started to show. The
team of Chuck Prewitt and
Mike Hood could pickup only18
targets of 25, while the team of
Mark Johnson and Dominick
Siniscalchi got 19 targets and
a team of Bill Branham and
Jim Noyes got 21 targets giving
them a two round total of 46, but
because the team of Bob Smith
and Glen Galley, by scoring a
23 in both the first and second
round, there was now a tie for
third place at 46 targets. The
team of John Cordick and Jerey
Frost got a 22 moving them in
sole possession of the second
place position, but with a round
two score of 23 the team of
Olechna and Warren took over
the #1 spot.
Both rounds three and four
will be shot from the 27 yd. line.
The farthest back position in
regulation trap shooting. Round
three, with a score of 21 targets,
moved the 3rd place team of
Branham and Noyes into position #1 and the team of Olechna
and Warren back to the #2 position with their score of 18 out
of 25. The team of Bob Smith
and Glen Galley took over sole
position of #3 with a score of 19
targets.
Now to round 4, the last
round in a 100 target event, with
25 more targets from that 27
yd position. As Roy Beach reported after the shoot was over,
“ That’s the hardest I’ve ever
worked at a trap shoot event, so
much concentration”. The 3rd
place team of Smith and Galley stumbled just enough to let
the constant pressure of Mark
Johnson and Dominic Siniscal-
chi, with their combined scores
of a 25, 19, 22 and a 21 in round
four moved them into the 3rd
position and the $50 prize. The
round three 1st place team of
Branham and Noyes had only
a one target lead over the second place team of Olechna and
Warren at 67 and 66 respectively. No pressure there! With
a score of 22 for the Branham
and Noyes team for a total of
89 out of 100, but a great score
of 24 out of 25 for Olechna and
Warren, they not only made up
that 1 point deficit, they went
into the 1st place position, taking home the $200 prize. This
left the 2nd position and $100
prize to Branham and Noyes.
The Knights of Columbus
want to thank all the competitors, the Delchenego Rod and
Gun Club, and all those that
worked hard behind the scenes
making the 5th year of this event
a great success. Remember to

Traffic Safety Board Urges Safe
Operation of Motorcycles/Vehicles
NORWICH - Have you ever
checked both directions, proceeded to enter an intersection
or the highway, only to see a
motorcycle that you did not
observe? Have you ever been
distracted or daydreaming and
not observing traffic? We live
in a fast-paced society where
thoughts of family or work
draw our attention away from
the task at hand: Driving.
Motorcyclists are among
the most vulnerable in the
motoring public. During any
collision with a four-wheel
vehicle, a motorcyclist is at a
severe disadvantage. A motorcycle crash with a car or truck
can, most often, result in death
or serious injury for the motorcyclist. Injuries sustained
can potentially result in loss
of limb, damage to internal organs, paralysis or other types
of life-changing disabilities.
Chenango County statistics for 2013 reflect that of the
1,164 motor vehicle crashes,
21 involved motorcycles. Of
those crashes, one resulted in
a fatality, and fifteen crashes
caused personal injury to the
motorcycle operators and
three resulted in injuries to the
passengers on the motorcycle.
New York State statistics for
the same period reflect a similar proportion of total motor
vehicle crashes 304,864 to
those involving motorcycles
5,190. The majority of those
motorcycle crashes took place
between the hours of 3:00 PM
and 6:00 PM.
Here are some tips for safe
motorcycle riding:
Wear a helmet. Research
shows that large numbers of
motorcyclists escape death by
wearing helmets. Head injuries, even those sustained at
low impact, can be fatal, further substantiating the case for
wearing a helmet.
Wear brightly-colored protective clothing. Motorcyclists
should always wear appropriate gear for protection, and
be clearly visible to other
drivers.
Keep awake and stay sober.
Drowsiness and fatigue can
seriously impair a motorcyclist’s reflexes and reaction
time. Bikers should avoid riding when fatigued and plan for
regular short breaks. Alcohol
and other drugs should be
strictly avoided when riding a
motorcycle.
Abide by traffic laws. A substantial number of motorcycle
riders involved in accidents
are driving without licenses
or are improperly licensed.
Motorcyclists should ensure
their license is always up to
date, and take care to obey the
traffic laws.
Motorcycle safety and planning. Motorcyclists should
perform a motorcycle safety
inspection before each ride.
Accidents often occur as a re-

sult of mechanical problems.
Plan ahead when riding in a
group. Determine your route
in advance and make sure it is
coordinated with other riders.
All drivers should work on
continuous leaning and improvement. A large percentage
of drivers involved in accidents
have had no driver training or
have become complacent. Enrolling in a driver’s training
course is a good way of developing basic driving skills.
Once the basic techniques are
acquired, drivers can sharpen
their skills for street riding
by taking a defensive driving
course or an advanced program for motorcyclists.
Remember to always be
courteous and respectful to
other motorists who use the
roads. Do not tailgate the vehicle in front of you, and retain a safe reactive driving
distance. Avoid riding a motorcycle when you are under
the influence of alcohol. Do
not ride between slow-moving
vehicles, and recognize and
follow all traffic laws.
Be careful out there! (Bruce

27TH Annual Boy Scout Camporee Was Held
Memorial Day Weekend at Mt. Upton Park
MT UPTON - The Mt.
Upton Park hosted the 27th
annual Boy Scout Camporee
that was held Memorial weekend. The troops came for the
General Clinton Regatta Boy
Scout Races. There were 20
tents with boys from Syracuse,
Worcester and Warminster,
Pa. Because of the frost and
high winds some boys slept in
their cars.
The boys raced from
Latham Corners for 15 miles,
Rock Inn for 10 miles, and the
fishing landing at Sidney for
the last five miles. The patch
for this year is of that bridge at
Latham Corners. Don Tuttle
designed the patch.
Before the race there was a
flag retirement of 39 flags that
the troops brought with them
for the ceremony. Troops
from Warminster, Pa. of the
Washington Crossing Council
Troop 139, Troop 1 of Syracuse, Troop 168 Worcester,
Troop 62 Norwich, and Troop
162 Greene took part.
The Worcester Troop has
been helping with the flag ceremony for the last four years.
Cody Sears of Troop 168, an
Eagle Scout, was Master of
Ceremonies.
The speech was:
“Title 36, Section 176, of the
United States Code States: No
disrespect should be shown to
the flag of the United States of
America. Furthermore, Paragraph (K) states: “The Flag,
when it is in such condition
that it is no longer a fitting
emblem for display, should be
destroyed in a dignified way,
preferably by BURNING.
“For more than 11 score
years I have been the banner of hope and freedom for
generation after generation
of Americans. Born amid the
first flames of America’s fight
for freedom, I am the symbol
of a Country that has grown
from a little group of 13 Colonies to a United Nation of 50
sovereign states.
“Planted firmly on the pinnacle of American Faith, my
gently fluttering folds have
proved an Inspiration to untold millions. Men have followed me into battle with
unwavering courage. They
have looked upon me as a
symbol of national unity. Our
flag has gone into every battle
into which there have been
United States citizens, from
the American Revolution to
the Civil War. To WW I, to
WW II, to the Korean Con-
flict, Viet Nam, Desert Storm,
Iraq and Enduring Freedom in
Afghanistan.
“It has flown over battles
that were never declared: Pearl
Harbor, Beirut, Oklahoma
City, and most recently by the
rescuers at the World Trade
Center. In all of these, we the
American people have stayed
true to the values that the flag
represents. We should always
value the sacrifices that have
been made for our flag and the
country that it represents.
“Those that died prayed
that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy
the life, liberty, and pursuit of
happiness, which have been
granted to every American as
the heritage of free men. So
long as men love liberty more
than life itself, so long as they
treasure the priceless privileges bought with the blood of
our forefathers; so long as the
principles of truth, justice and
charity for all remain deeply
rooted in human hearts, I shall
continue to be the enduring
banner of the United States of
America.”
Next year we will be celebrating our 28th year.

The authors of Food from the
Heart: A Patchwork of Memories have spanned generations
to make new memories. Students from the DCMO BOCES
Nurse Assisting class, along
with nurse Assisting instructors Gina Rapp and Connie
Hulbert and English instructor
Elizabeth Barber-Breese, traveled to CMH Nursing Home to
interview residents and write
their stories. Both the students
and the residents enjoyed the
experience.
Amber Thornton, a junior
from Otselic Valley said, “We
really connected with each other; the person I interviewed was
so easy to talk to and we really
had a good time talking to each
other. After doing this activity, I feel like I will be a great
CNA one day.” Karlee Matts,
a junior from Norwich, found
that she had something in common with the residents. “One of
the residents went to the same
school as I do, and another one
was a teacher for many years. It
was really neat to see the older
generation of our town.” Haiden Fairbanks, a junior from
Sherburne-Earlville, echoed the
thoughts of many of her classmates when she said, “I would
love to have this opportunity
with the residents again.”
The two groups have come
together in the past to write and
share poetry; this is their first
attempt at publication. Karen
Blackman noted how proud the
residents were to see their names
in print. “Their faces light up.
They feel like their words still
have value,” she said.

One of the signature accomplishments of the 2014 legislative session was the passage
of a comprehensive package
of bills to combat New York
State’s growing heroin and
opioid crisis. The measures
target prevention, treatment,
and enforcement issues raised
during extensive testimony
provided by dozens of experts,
parents, and concerned New
Yorkers at the 18 forums held
around the state by the Senate Majority Coalition’s Joint
Task Force on Heroin and
Opioid Addiction, including
one I hosted in my district.
While the new laws are
making a difference, the stark
reality is that we have barely
scratched the surface when
it comes to dealing with this
epidemic. For that reason, I
continue to serve as a member of the special senate task
force, and we are not letting
up in our fight.
The 2015-16 state budget
provided significant funding
for programs targeting heroin
treatment and prevention, including: $7.8 million in funding for statewide prevention,
treatment and recovery services; $450,000 to purchase
Narcan kits given out for free
to individuals who participate
in a Narcan training class; and
$140,000 to finance the cost
of Narcan kits for staff and
nurses authorized to administer Narcan in the event of a
heroin or opioid overdose at
school.
For those unfamiliar with
Narcan, it can be used to help
reverse a potentially deadly
heroin overdose and stories of
emergency responders and police effectively using the drug
to save lives are in the news
almost daily. I hosted a training session in my district last
year and was trained myself
on the procedure to administer the lifesaving medication.
Most recently the senate
approved a number of additional measures that will enhance and expand on the laws
enacted last year. The new
bills will help decrease heroin deaths and put more drug
dealers behind bars for peddling dangerous opioids.
The legislation includes:
- Establishing the crime
of homicide by sale of an
opioid controlled substance,
also known as “Laree’s
Law”(S.4163): Allows law

enforcement to charge a
drug dealer with homicide if
a person dies from an opiate
controlled substance sold by
that dealer. The law specifically targets those who seek
to profit from heroin and
other opioid sales – not a witness or other person who may
have been doing drugs (i.e.
a “co-user”) with a victim
at the time of an accidental
overdose. In 2011, New York
adopted a “Good Samaritan”
law that shields individuals
from charges related to an accidental overdose if they try to
help victims by timely reporting the incidents;
- Preventing the sale of
synthetic opioids (S.1640):
Expands the list of controlled
substances in schedules I, II,
III, IV, and V to include any
controlled substance which is
intended for human consumption and is structurally or pharmacologically substantially
similar to, or is represented as
being similar to heroin, opium, or other opioid-based narcotic. This would help combat
the quickly-moving world of
designer drugs;
- Expanding treatment options for individuals in judicial diversion programs for
opioid abuse or dependence
(S.4239B): Provides that under no circumstances shall a
defendant who requires treatment for opioid abuse or dependence be deemed to have
violated the release conditions
on the basis of his or her participation in medically prescribed drug treatments while
under the care of a qualified
and licensed physician acting
within the scope of his or her
lawful practice;
- Establishing assisted outpatient treatment for substance
use disorders (S.631): Enables
a court to order assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) for
an individual with a substance
use disorder who, due to his or
her addiction, poses a threat to
him, herself, or others.
Other bills would help increase education of medical
professionals concerning heroin and opioid abuse, improve
care for people with serious
mental illness, and provide
parents with the ability to file
a Person In Need of Supervision (PINS) petition in family
court for the potential placement of a child who is suffering from a substance use
disorder into a substance use
treatment program.

A.O. Fox Emergency Dept.
Earns High Scores for Service
ONEONTA - A concerted
effort to refine the emergency
department (ED) experience
has proven successful at A.O.
Fox Hospital. As a result, the
ED offers shorter wait times
and higher patient satisfaction
scores. The emergency department’s adoption of more
efficient measures has created
a positive response in the local community. Press Ganey,
Bassett Healthcare Network’s
patient satisfaction database,
recently ranked Fox Hospital’s ED in the 97th percentile
in New York State.
Annually, nearly 17,000
patients are seen in the ED at
Fox Hospital, which is staffed
by two physicians, one advanced practice clinician and
three to four nurses. Daily
the ED team is seeing 40-50
patients.
“After a review of the issues the ED was facing and
processes for handling patient
flow, we took a series of steps
to positively impact the patient experience in a dramatic
way,” notes Dr. Kelly Robinson, ED medical director.
Those changes have resulted in the average waiting time
to be seen by a doctor is under
30 minutes; time of arrival to
discharge is just above two
hours; and patient satisfaction
scores are way up.
What’s made the difference? Bedside triage – patients are brought to a treatment area immediately and
assessed at the bedside; no
waiting in lobby if there is an
open bed available; computers on wheels allow for bed-
side entry of patient information and orders; and frequent
rounding by a nurse or technician to check on patients’
needs and comfort.
In addition, Robinson says
he’s instituted a process where
the ED physician, when seeing a patient in an exam room,
acknowledges everyone in the
room and introduces himself,
discusses the expected duration of time in the ED, explains
the diagnosis and what’s next,
and thanks everyone.
“It’s not only the compassionate way to approach the
patient’s ED experience, it
also confirms everyone’s understanding of the situation
and allows the patient and
family to ask any clarifying
questions,” explains Robinson

UNADILLA COMMUNITY FOOD
FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
By Pastor Thomas Pullyblank,
Sidney United Methodist Church
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day. For
this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal
weight of glory beyond all comparison, because we look not to
the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the
things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen
are eternal.”
— From 2 Corinthians 4:16-19 (Revised Standard Version)
We spend a lot of time concerned with things seen. We paint
our houses or wash their vinyl siding. We mow our lawns and fix
our cars. We read paper copies of the Tri-Town News and shop
for our daily wants and needs in the stores advertised therein.
Our bodies, too, occupy our time and attention. We exercise,
wash ourselves, brush our teeth and go to the doctor to see if
that dull pain in the abdomen means anything. We and our doctors want to see results in lower cholesterol levels and blood
pressure, reduced weight. The last of these health improvements
is the most desirable perhaps because it is also the most visible.
Even in churches, things seen are often a major preoccupation.
We want our buildings to look good, inside and out. We want
our sanctuaries to be colorful, especially during the Christmas
season. We want our church dinners to look (and taste) appetizing. We want our baked goods and bazaar and auction items to
attract buyers.
Paul tells us something very important about things seen:
they are transient, the are impermanent, they waste away. This
is just as true of a pie as it is of a brick building. Sooner or later,
all things seen around us--including all the people we know,
including ourselves--will be gone.
At some point in our history, we’ve lost the ability to identify
and understand unseen things as easily and as readily as we
identify and understand seen things. Perhaps it began in the seventeenth century, when science began to challenge religion as a
measure of reality. Perhaps the transformation began long before that. Whenever it started, the fact is that now we are trained
to focus our attention on things seen. In school, for instance, we
learn from words on a page or numbers in an equation or facts
observed during an experiment. At work we deal with the day
to day tasks of making something or with putting into practice ideas written on paper. Paul reminds us of the fundamental
truth, known to human beings since the beginning of human
awareness, that created things are transient and impermanent,
they waste away.
So where do we find real fulfillment, true joy, a love that lasts?
These can only be found in the one and eternal God. And where
do we find God? Paul tells us that we find God within ourselves,
and this is one of the most extraordinary truths known to humankind. Whether we are reading Scripture, walking through
a peaceful woodland, swimming in a beautiful lake or spending quality time with a beloved friend--we connect with what’s
eternal and good through a process of opening our souls to the
deeper, unseen beauty of our experiences.
I’m sure we’ve all had that feeling of our souls opening up
to God’s love. It happens when the Scripture passage speaks
directly to our circumstances or when the woodland seems to
swallow us up in the most profound feeling of peace we’ve ever
had. It happens when the water of the lake suddenly turns warm
and more refreshing than it’s ever been. It happens when two
friends look each other in the eye--or rather, through the eye
into the soul--and know that there’s a connection between them
that’s deeper than anyone can explain.
When any of these happen, we’ve experienced the unseen,
we’ve opened up our own souls to the eternal, imperishable liferenewing reality of the Soul of the World.

Sidney Hometown Day Parade
Brings Music and Excitement
This year’s Sidney Hometown Day Parade saw the return of the Sidney Warriors Band as well as several
other high school bands making for a musical afternoon. Sponsored by the Sidney Federal Credit Union,
the popular parade always draws a crowd to Main St. and the parade route. Fire department trucks, vintage
cars and a variety of marching units were greeted with applause on West Main St., Main St. and River St.
Celebrities in the parade included the Sidney Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Years 2015 the Rev.
Gordon Polenz and the Business of the Years 2015 ACCO Brands, this year’s Grand Marshals. Friday’s
storm dissipated leaving Saturday afternoon with cloudy skies but free of heavy rains. Once again, hats off
to the Sidney Federal Credit Union and all those taking part for pulling off another successful parade.
