A Message from the President
FALL 2019
Welcome Back! Many of us have been busy with summer activities and traveling this summer, but now it’s
back to “normal”.
First, my usual reminder—School is back in session and that means kids and school buses on our streets. Last
year, we had many complaints about poor driving habits in the Terrace, such as speeding and passing school
buses. We have again asked the Sheriff’s office to patrol our streets and give out necessary tickets. In addition,
I am again asking anyone who sees this behavior to call the Tioga County Sheriff (687-1010) with as much infor-
mation as possible, i.e., date, time, type, style, color and license number of the car and a description of the driver,
e.g., male or female, young or old. Ask the Sheriff’s office to be more visible on our streets. Make the call even
if you don’t have all the information. The more calls they get, the more we will see them in the Terrace. AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT SPEED OR PASS school buses! Lives depend on your good driving habits.
As reported in the Spring newsletter, the TTCA has been diligently working with the Town of Owego on renova-
tions for our two parks. Since our numerous attempts to contact the Parks Supervisor had been unsuccessful, we
contacted the Town Supervisor, Don Castellucci. We had several discussions and email exchanges, which led to
a number of plans and designs. Mr. Castellucci assured us that funds were earmarked for some of the improve-
ments for both parks, this year.
Unfortunately, the commitments made to the TTCA, because of our efforts, have not materialized except for
improvements in the Woodside Park (where the basketball court has been blacktopped and the fence has been
repaired). While we are appreciative of the work in the upper park, none of the progress discussed regarding the
Tioga Blvd. Park has been made, and it remains unusable. We continue to pursue the completion of agreed upon
improvements and will keep you apprised.
We are also disappointed to report the minimal change in the status of 41 Frederick St. The Town of Owego
required Mr. McCann to have the property assessed for sale in January, and that was done. However, the
contents have not been removed, and Mr. McCann refuses to sell the property with the contents included. A
court hearing on July 17th required Mr. McCann to get the property in saleable condition by October 16th (when
the next hearing is scheduled). We will continue attending these hearings and will keep you informed.
…..and keep in mind, we’d love to see you at our next meeting!
