Sidney Comes Together to Celebrate 28th Annual sfcu Hometown Day Parade

To a smattering of sideline applause, the Sidney pd was followed up by the village’s fire department, the trucks of which let off the occasional celebratory woop-woop siren call.

Sidney’s marching band and color guard came next, putting on a tuneful perfor-mance before processing to make way for parade grand Marshal and 2016 Business of the year, the cullman child development center.

models from across the de-cades, all polished and buffed for parade day.

ONeONTa – On the eve-ning of wednesday, June 8, Oneonta’s Foothills perform-ing arts center played host to a debate between democratic and republican congressional candidates for N.y.’S 19th dis-trict, which, locally, concerns delaware and Otsego county.

Scott & Susan Jerauld Recognized for Service to Tri-Town Theatre

SidNey - Tri-Town The-atre presented Scott and Su-san Jerauld with a plaque to commemorate their many years of active membership in the group. For more than thirty years, the couple has given of their time and talents.

Scott has acted in numer-ous productions, hauled and constructed sets. he has been president of the TTT Board of directors probably more years than any other member

in the groups 50 plus years of operation. additionally, he has often been the light and sound crew. it is not unusual to find Scott back stage as stage manager.

Susan, likewise, has been indispensable to Tri-Town Theatre. audience members will remember her perfor-mances in many musicals. after Jack deuel’s retirement from directing the musical, Susan took over the job. Su-

san has also been the chief costumer for TTT for years.

The couple recently relo-cated to the state of Maine to work and be close to chil-dren—and now grandchil-dren. They leave with the appreciation of all those who have benefited from their ded-ication to Tri-Town Theatre. Scott and Susan will be sorely missed.

TTT director Jack Deuel presents a plaque and flowers to Scott and Susan Jerauld following the February 26 performance of Tri-Town Theatre’s “Charlotte’s Web.”

SidNey - Two different shows, featuring the talented, hard-working students from aBc center for performing arts, will be presented on Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18, at the afton central School auditorium for aBc’s 23rd annual recital.

Owner/director, amy Burns-cuozzo, along with aBc teachers and students, are proud to continue to carry on the many values, teach-ings, artistry, and love of dance passed down from Miss amy’s own teacher, andrea (kozak) wakeman. wakeman instilled a true love of dance and sense of community in so many students in the tri-town area and those who had the chance to learn from her are so fortunate. No one will ever compare to Miss andrea, but we will always strive to make her proud! Both shows will begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door.

Both shows will be filled with family-friendly, enter-taining numbers in various

dance genres and will in-clude dancers as young as age two, right up through adult dancers. From the opening number to the finale, audi-ence members are sure to be wowed, inspired, and enter-tained. recital goers will see cute little frogs, princesses, cowgirls, ragedy-anns, and flowers, along with brides, rock stars, and even some sur-prise performers! The variety of styles, ages and abilities, fun and inspirational music, beautiful costumes, and of course wonderfully talented aBc dancers, is sure to make both shows not-to-be-missed events! Join us on Friday and Saturday, June 17 and 18, for an amazing weekend of dance, fun, friendship and family. we hope you can join us, as our dancers can’t wait to share their love of dance with you!

To find out about aBc’s exciting summer programs, see the ad in this paper or go to aBc’s website, www.abcschoolofdance.com, for a complete listing and details.

June 19, 1991The community will get

a double benefit from keith clark’s newest venture, the child development center. The site selected for the construc-tion of the child development center is located adjacent to the keith clark plant on west road where the former Land-mark Ford building is located. keith wrigley, chairman of the Sidney industrial develop-ment agency, said that keith clark has generously offered to donate the 6,500 sqft build-ing to the Sidney ida if they will move the building to the Sidney industrial park.

douglas willies, president of keith clark, inc., will be the keynote speaker at the Sidney high School com-mencement on Saturday, June 22.

a surprised Jack deuel was presented with the Sidney ro-tary club’s Vocational Service award at their June 7 meeting. in making the presentation, whit whitaker, rotary presi-dent, said they were honoring Jack for his many years of dedicated service as director of the Tri-Town Theatre.

Sherwood heights has been given to the federal hous-ing project which will fur-nish homes for the Scintilla Magneto workers on defense work. The name was given the project by John M. car-mondy, from among those presented by Sidney residents on Monday.

winfield T. Sherman was instrumental in bringing the Scintilla Magneto company to Sidney. he was a promotion agent in 1925, and late in the fall of that year, he persuaded robert F. Mack, representing the Brown-Boveri corpora-tion, to purchase the hatfield automobile Factory, the last building of which was just razed to give place for the lat-est addition to the Scintilla Magneto co.’s expanding fac-tory space.

pearl St., which in the past has branched off west Main Street to a dead-end street, will become a thoroughfare, according to Mayor w.w. Bates, as soon as the govern-ment completes its project in the Sherwood heights section of this village.

consistently highlighted the need for economic stimuli and recovery, agreeing that the federal government has a spending problem and that collectively, the govern-ment needs to work to “bring american money back home without the threat of taxa-tion.” Faso, specifically, men-tioned having already pro-posed a plan to eliminate what he called “[Nelson] rockefell-er’s mistake of 50 years ago,” whereby NyS counties pay Medicaid tax, a tax Faso said “is not seen anywhere else in the country” and could be remedied “by changing fed-eral law.”

asked what hope local peo-ple should have for revitaliza-tion, Faso said, “So much of this [problem] has to do with over-regulation. we need to streamline review processes, with more definitive time-lines for development. The local review process needs to change.” heaney remarked, “we have land, we have re-sources, we have universities,” and said, “This district needs a salesman. i will go out, around the country, and get the 19th district hired. That’s something tangible i can do.” Faso criticized this claim, ar-guing that, “we rank 50th out of 51 states. a salesmen is all well and good, but no one wants to come here.”

asked pointedly if the two would be supporting gOp frontrunner and likely candi-date in the presidential elec-tion, donald Trump, Faso said only, “i’ve said all along, i will support the nominee of my party,” though did say, “people can tell the difference between political offices.”

heaney said, “i believe Trump and Sanders repre-sent a sense of deep frustra-tion in this country. people tell me they don’t believe in the future, they don’t believe in the american dream, and this has manifested as anger; i identify with that. he’s an outsider, he’s a businessman; i identify with that.”

Touching on the issue of fracking, heaney said he considered cuomo’s state-wide ban “wrong-headed” and said, “we should not ban national gas exploration, it’s absolutely necessary to cre-ating renewables…i believe in local control of fracking. if the community agrees, let them frack, let it be local.” in this same vein, Faso said. “cuomo’s decision to ban fracking was political, not scientific.”

Both men agreed that, with regard to the heroin and opi-oid epidemic, the country as a whole needs increased treat-ment options, increased long-term recovery lengths and increased public education. Faso noted that the president and congress are starting to work together on this issue, which is truly non-partisan, as “it is affecting everyone.” For his part, heaney called addic-tion “the result of a lack of connection, which plays right back to the issue of economic devastation in Ny-19.”

The only time the atmo-sphere between heaney and Faso grew overtly charged was during a discussion of

campaign funding. heaney criticized Faso for being funded by Super pac money, specifically mentioning a re-cent individual contribution of $600,000, which heaney said, “came down on my head in the form of attack ads.” heaney called for transpar-ency and “sensible campaign finance reform.”

Faso, however, rebutted by saying, “Me thinks my friend protests too much,” and ac-cused heaney of being “the one who started it,” after pur-portedly injecting corporate funds from his own business into a Super pac and then claiming to know nothing of it. Faso quipped, “it’s really rich coming from him, but then, it is rich!”

in closing, heaney said he would end where he began, and reinforced the notion that america’s biggest problem is its loss of faith. “a congress-man’s most important duty is restoring that faith…i will be that reform, i will live that reform.”

Faso, a former republican leader in the State assembly, closed by stressing his deep community involvement and longtime roots in kinderhook and the 19th district, alongside his history of public service. “we have it in our power to fix what ails america,” said Faso.

Stephanie Bauer of the cooperstown LwV moder-ated the second half of the evening, during which demo-cratic congressional hopefuls, Zephyr Teachout and will yandik, discussed the issues.

Teachout opened by say-ing, “For most of my adult life i’ve been fighting for this ex-traordinary country, which i love, and raising up voices of people everywhere.” Teachout admitted, “we do have a crisis of corruption…and we need someone elected who has a history of engaging in really tough fights and winning.”

will yandik, a fourth-gen-eration farmer, highlighted his roots, saying, “i’m running to represent the community i grew up in [and] to return power back to citizens. i be-lieve in this area and i want to serve it.”

asked for their thoughts on common core and if they believe parents should be al-lowed to have their children opt out of testing, Teachout again responded first, say-ing decisively, “i absolutely support parents having their kids opt out.” Teachout, who herself has been a consistent champion of the NyS opt-out movement, added, “The opt-out movement is about more than just student testing; it’s about a grass roots force edu-cating not just NyS, but the country, about the negative ef-fects of high stakes testing…Tests have a place in school, but not these tests, they’re destructive.” here, Teachout anecdotally quoted a farmer, saying, “you can’t fatten a hog by weighing it.”

yandik agreed with Teachout, beginning a pattern of fellow feeling that lasted throughout the exceedingly cordial democratic portion of the debate. yandik, who said the common core curriculum

began as a good intention that was ultimately poorly imple-mented, said the tests “have created more anxiety than positive results.”

The question of the cur-rent republican majority in the house was posed and yandik said that, if elected, he would draw on his experience of be-ing the only democrat in liv-ing memory to get elected to the Livingston Board. “The key will be identifying com-monalities,” said yandik. “washington can’t be any more political than some of theses small towns. i’m going to lean on experience.”

To this point, Teachout mused, “if you know who you are, you know what you believe in, and you are will-ing to be incredibly, incred-ibly polite, you can work with anyone.”

asked about the NyS econ-omy and how to resuscitate it, Teachout called for universal broadband (an issue Teachout has made a campaign hall-mark), which she called “ab-solutely essential for every-one,” and policy revision to enable a shift away from ‘big ag’ dependency. “we need policy to support midscale famers,” said Teachout. She called now the time to revital-ize and argued that it starts with trade policy reform and corporations paying their fair share. Teachout suggested changing broadbrand access to a ‘core utility’ classifica-tion, like electricity, investing in community colleges, and better facilitating NyS farm-ers with logistical hurdles like packaging and downstate transport.

in a continued discus-sion on upstate prosperity, Teachout said, “This region could be a hotbed for experi-mentation with micro-hydro, ground-source heat pumps and regional food econo-mies.” yandik echoed this, saying, “Tourism is alive and well” in the catskills and call-ing for trade policy reform.

Touching on the issue of veterans and veteran services, yandik called the present situ-ation “a moral travesty” and said, as a congressman, he would work for increased re-sources, including 24/7 men-tal health services. “we have to make a commitment to the people we ask to make the ul-timate sacrifice,” said yandik.

Teachout called the heroin epidemic “Both a policy ques-tion and a question of public shame,” adding, “we as a society should be engaged in helping and fixing this.” Like-wise, yandik said, “insurance companies need to treat this as a public health crisis” and stressed a need for increased federal spending on Nar-caN kits and working at the federal level to rewrite pre-scription guidelines.

discussing healthcare and the affordable care act, Teachout said she is “so proud that this country came to-gether to provide healthcare,” but called healthcare costs “grotesque,” “disgusting,” and “out of control.” Teachout, who vowed to “take on big pharma” if elected said, “we actually could have universal-ly affordable healthcare. it’s

achievable.”Of the affordable care act

specifically, yandik acknowl-edged that it succeeded in covering millions of people who had no health insurance, but said, “we have to focus more on affordable healthcare costs.” yandik championed moving away from the cur-rent ‘fee-for-service’ model and focusing, instead, on pre-ventative care. Like Teachout, yandik expressed disgust over the monopolization of big pharma, saying, “it’s embarrassing.”

On the matter of guns and gun control, yandik spoke passionately, outlining his lifetime spent in and around ‘gun culture.’ Noting that guns are “unemotional items on a farm, as common as a shovel or a rake,” yandik said his background gives him a leg up and unique insight into the hunter/outdoorsmen/sports club demographic. yandik, who admitted that, “yes, we have a gun violence national problem,” said, “i can be a strong advocate for the gun safety we need in this country.” Teachout said, “we have a deep, fundamen-tal agreement on this issue,” and attributed the Ny Safe act with “actually pushing us back from making the prog-ress we need to.”

asked about how to restore faith in the democratic pro-cess, yandik expressed a need for redistricting reform, say-ing that, “The vast majority of politicians feel comfortable in their incumbencies,” thereby rejecting redistricting and shying away from real refor-mative action. To the question of online voting or extending voting periods, yandik said he supports both and asked, “why would we not make it easier to engage in the demo-cratic process?”

Teachout said the process can be healed by running for office and recruiting others—especially women—to do the same. “you can bring joy to it and excitement. There’s a de-sire to engage, you just need to give people a reason,” said Teachout.

given that the two demo-crats agree on so much and are both just about equally progressive, the question of what sets them apart as dis-tinct candidates, was posed. here, yandik said that, while, “we do have a lot of agree-ment on policy issues, i know something about Ny-19 be-cause i grew up here. i have been winning tough fights, but in areas where the fights are tougher, especially for dem-ocrats…i have demonstrated the ability to bring along republicans.”

For her part, Teachout said it is her proven track record of winning “really, really tough fights” by way of consistently “strategic, aggressive, fearless grassroots campaigns” that distinguishes her from her opponent. “what’s needed at this moment in history are the skills to win. i have a lifetime of winning…[and that’s] go-ing to be really important go-ing into the belly in the beast in washington.”

Local Woman Supports Yandik for the 19th

Congressional District

Many voters are not aware that there is a federal primary, which will occur on Tuesday, June 28. For those of us liv-ing in the 19th congressional district, this primary is for candidates seeking to get the democratic or republican line to replace chris gibson, who will be retiring at the end of 2016.

as a democrat and one who has been actively involved with politics, i am writing to urge fellow democrats to support will yandik. i have met both democratic candidates and heard them speak on several occasions. while it is true that little separates the two on many issues, i believe it is Mr. yandik’s background and experience that make him the better candidate.

in 2011, in a community with a majority of republican voters, he was elected to the Livingston Town Board, and he recently won re-election. he is the only democrat to have been appointed as dep-

uty supervisor for that town. during his time on the board, they passed a ban on hydro-fracking and enacted policies making it easier for the instal-lation of solar panels. it is his proven ability to work with those “across the aisle” that makes him a great candidate. Our district is almost evenly divided among registered democrats, republican, and independents (blanks), mak-ing it vitally important to elect someone who knows this dis-trict, and who can listen to and work for the interests of all the constituents.

Finally, Mr. yandik has proven his commitment to our district. a few years after graduating from college, he chose to return to his home-town, where he grew up on the farm that has been in his family for four generations. if elected in November, we can be sure that he will continue to be there for us. For more information about this candi-date, i urge you to go on-line to www.will4congress.org

ney little leaguers and minor softball players strolled and tossed sweets, just ahead of their varsity counterparts.

Sidney girl Scouts of all ages came next, with a small number of members of the newly renamed Tri-Town youth club (formerly the Tri-Town Boys & girls club) right behind them.

The Bainbridge-guilford Marching Band and color guard, accompanied by the hearty B-g drum line, brought festive instrumentals to the streets, followed by a fleet of school buses, Scoville-Meno automobiles, the r c Sales and Services truck, and a squadron of Mirabito vehicles.

as the parade wore on, clouds continually cleared and the temperature rose along

with the eked-out blue skies. Members of gilbertsville-Mt. upton Marching Band filled the streets with their own blue, white and gold as they played up-tempo beats accented by a perky pair of dancing field commanders.

representatives from the Tri-Town regional hospital, riding atop the bed of a Thet-ford’s truck, passed out infor-mative goody bags, candy, and promoted dehydration and helmet awareness while they were at it.

guilford’s Fire department made a showing next, fol-lowed by the huff truck and the Masonville Fire depart-ment, which included its an-tique firefighting truck in the procession.

dancers and teachers from the aBc center for per-forming arts, in the lead up to their 23rd annual recital

this weekend, entitled ‘can’t Stop dancin,’’ kept the en-ergy high even as the parade wound down, dancing at in-tervals to upbeat numbers like andy grammer’s “good to be alive,” which blasted from the back of an accompanying pick-up.

Bringing up the rear was a Salvation army truck, one of Sidney eMS’s two ambu-lances and the unadilla Fire department.

Families left with smiles on their faces and pockets crammed full of the candy scrabbled off of the streets by eager kiddos. a good time was no doubt had by all at the 28th annual sfcu hometown day parade.

Month, what better way to celebrate by coming to the Strawberry Festival at the Masonville Federated church this Friday, June 17, from 4 to 8 p.m.?

School classes are over and/or winding down for many and we wish them good luck with their many end-of-the-year exams.

here on the farm the fellas are making progress on the

chopping of grass fields. The bunk is getting fuller by the day and they are working long hours to keep it that way, with the truck running hot on the road. Be careful when travel-ing around the roads, many farmers are out there with wagons and trucks trying to brave the weather and get the grass in while good days are here and the grass has good quality still.

One of the cows brought her calf down to the creek today; hope she doesn’t hide it away from us before they can get the mother and the calf to the barn. The corn has been sprayed for weeds and is growing well. The next step, once it gets tall enough, will be putting into the ground to help it grow better and stronger.

James L. MillswaLTON - James L. Mills,

74, of walton passed away un-expectedly Saturday, June 11, at the home on Lower Third Brook rd. that he and his wife, Janice, had shared since 1963.

The little house changed and grew over the years, through Jim’s own sweat and toil, from humble beginnings to a tidy homeplace. he and Janice raised two sons there, and in the adjacent garage Jim repaired or restored more cars and trucks than even he could remember.

Jim was born May 9, 1942, in Sanford, the sixth of wesley and Mary (Sterling) Mills’ ten children. The family lived in rock rift and Mcclure before eventually settling in walton in a house on Munn St. Jim graduated from walton high in 1960, and he married Janice Barnes of Sidney on Septem-ber 28, 1963.

Jim was a self-made man blessed with an inquisitive, clever mind and rugged, skill-ful hands. he grew up poor and learned to cope. if he needed something and didn’t have it, then he built it himself with whatever he could find. he was a self-taught carpen-ter, plumber and electrician—a man who could do almost anything he put his mind to.

he was strong and tough, a devoted husband and father. he loved bad jokes and good diners, black coffee and green grass, the woods where he hunted and the waters where he fished.

he was a mechanic at the walton central School bus garage for fourteen years. his knowledge and skills led to his next job as a bus inspector for the N.y.S. dept. Of Trans-portation. he retired from the dOT as the region 2 Supervi-sor in 2001.

in retirement, he restored antique automobiles in his free time. he loved Mopar muscle cars, and over the years his garage was home to several

projects – including plymouth Barracuda, Fury and gTX models, a dodge challenger and even a dodge rampage.

Jim’s favorite was a red 1967 gTX with a big-block V-8 and a four-speed trans-mission, similar to the first brand-new car he ever bought. he was a frequent winner at car shows, although he didn’t give a hoot about trophies.

Jim liked talking to people, and he eagerly shared his knowledge and know-how with the many friends and acquaintances he made in his lifetime. he was always will-ing to pitch in and help people with any kind of project, big or small.

Jim is survived by his lov-ing family, his wife of 52 years, Janice; two sons, Jef-fery and kim Mills of greens-boro, N.c., and Joseph and erin Mills of apex, N.c.; grandchildren, hannah, ca-leb and griffin; sisters, helen weidhaas of Tenn., Martha and robert wetzel of Fa., Joan and Marty whelan of Va., Lila and alleyn rossomando of ariz. and one brother, rob-ert Mills of Fla.; brothers- and sisters-in-law, Betty Mills of champlain; delores and ed wilson, Joyce Barnes, eddie and Mary Barnes, and dick Barnes, all of Sidney; and Barbara cawley and her fiance roger Schmidt of Bainbridge; several nieces, nephews and cousins; special friends chris Voorhies, hazzie and Sue Quick and Buddy gibson; and good neighbor Jack alvarez.

Jim was predeceased by his parents; a brother, david; sis-ters, Lois harris, Jean decker and ruth helmer; brothers-in-law, don weidhaas, Mil-ton “Barney” Barnes and ray cawley; and a sister-in-law, pat Barnes.

Friends called on the fam-ily at an informal, drop-in celebration of Jim’s life at his home held wednesday eve-ning. per Jim’s wishes, there was no formal funeral service. arrangements are with court-ney Funeral home, walton.

Memorial contributions in Jim’s memory may be made to walton eMS, 61 west St., walton, N.y., 13856, as a thank you for their exception-al efforts. condolences to the family may be made online by visiting www.courtneyfh.com.

Tri-Town Nursery School Marks 51st Year of Education ‘For the Fun of it’

By allison collins

SidNey – Tri-Town Nurs-ery School, located at 12 Liberty St., Sidney, just fin-ished celebrating the conclu-sion of its 51st year of serving some of the littlest members of the tri-town community. Just last week, the outgoing, kindergarten-bound upper classmen of TTNS’s 2015-16 year donned their finery and crossed over the traditional wooden footbridge at the an-nual preschool graduation ceremony.

For more than half a centu-ry, TTNS has been housed in the Sidney united Methodist church. recently retired Tri-Town News editor, Nancy-Sue Burns, even sent her daughters through some of the school’s earliest classes!

Over the years, TTNS has been headed up by some of the tri-town’s finest, with Lori roach, proprietress of the one-time Sidney shop, glad Tidings, and current TTNS teacher, Nancy McLean, serv-ing as longtime teacher/di-rectors. additionally, retired ScSd teacher, Bob Finnegan, contributed a lengthy stint as secretary of the school’s Board of directors. Today, and for the past two years, Jeanne cherniak has acted as TTNS’s director. cherniak has also been a TTNS teacher for four years.

in a recent interview with cherniak, she explained that, “There are nine members on our Board of directors. They are parents of TTNS students, past and present, who share their many talents to ensure the smooth run-ning of TTNS.” as per the Board’s by-laws, members are required to meet as a group four to five times throughout the school year. cherniak also mentioned that, under the um-brella of Board duties falls ev-erything from agreeing upon and establishing an operating budget and setting policy to

assisting with grant writing and organizing and facilitat-ing TTNS’s four annual fund-raisers: a chicken barbeque in fall, gift card sales leading up to the december holidays, cookie dough sales in spring and pizza hut Night each June. Board members must also appear at TTNS registra-tion and open house events, acting as liaisons between TTNS staff and parents, as well as between TTNS and the church containing it.

in addition to the help it re-ceives from its Board, TTNS also has fiscal and material backing from the community to thank for its decades of success. cherniak explained, “we have been very fortu-nate to have the continued support in funding [through grants] from Sidney united way, community Foundation of unadilla and Nex-to-New.” cherniak also noted, “we have also received donations of materials and paper prod-ucts from accO Brands.”

The Sidney united Meth-odist church also plays an important role in keeping TTNS a happy, healthy, and clean learning environment. Just this year, cherniak said the church, in cooperation with TTNS teachers, worked to brighten up the class-rooms with what she called “a new coat of sunny yellow paint.” continuing to dial up the bright factor, the church recently replaced classroom lighting as well.

But, as anyone who has put a child through the ex-emplary programming at TTNS knows, the sunniest part of the school is its staff. Former director and cur-rent teacher, Nancy McLean, has been teaching for fifteen years. McLean, whose turn as director lasted nine years, is known for her even-keeled, unerring patience and TTNS parents will remember well how McLean never misses the chance to stoop to bended

knee, the better to thought-fully greet her charges at eye-level. McLean typically works with the three- and four-year-old groups.

at McLean’s side for the past eleven years has been veteran teacher’s assistant, Lisa Mckee. Mckee, a fa-vorite amongst the kids, can always be counted on to bring just the right amount of silly into the classroom.

For the past four years di-ane Mitchell has worked ex-clusively with TTNS’s young-est students, those members of the twice-weekly, two-year-old structured playgroup. This playgroup offers two-year-olds (and their parents) an excellent opportunity to grow accustomed to a school setting, while still getting to enjoy the play and socializa-tion so important to toddlers. Mitchell has been assisted for as long as she’s been teaching by Nancy O’keefe.

while their literature states, “Our staff will help your child obtain the skills that will promote success in future learning,” TTNS has taken strides recently to make this truer than ever. TTNS is in its second year of providing a five-day option for students in the four-year-old, pre-k classes. This change allows kids to get an introductory taste of what regimented daily schooling is like, at a gentler, half-day pace, still chock full of academic gains. a three-day attendance option for four-year-olds will remain available. cherniak said, “we are excited to have already exceeded last year’s number of registered students in our five-day pre-k class that will begin in September 2016!”

reigstration for the 2016-17 school year is open now and will remain so throughout the summer. interested families should call 563-8867 for more information.

Since 1964, Tri-Town Nursery School has been churning out fine young people, many of whom have gone on to become outstanding and active adult citizens in the tri-town com-munity. Just recently, the four-year-old pre-k class, pictured here, got to learn a bit about firefighting from TTNS graduate and Sidney Fire Dept. firefighter, Jamie Cole (left).

An Eventful Year

Our Mission Statement:To create an awareness of

our neglected cemeteries that will foster volunteer efforts to restore them, and ultimately lead to their preservation for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.

This is proving to be a very busy and eventful year for us. Tina came up with the idea of writing a column for a newspaper and i dismissed it, thinking we would not have much of interest to write about. She held her ground and brought it up again, so in January we approached Tri-Town News. They were recep-tive to the idea, and now this is our tenth article. we appre-ciate all the positive feedback we have received from the pa-per’s readers. Lesson learned: one should not disagree with his wife!

in March our friend, Sharon donahe, asked if we would contribute to the chenango county historical Society’s (cchS) journal. That has proven to be challenging. in order to further our cemetery mission, we had been con-sidering joining the cchS. in april we attended their monthly meeting. clay welch approached us about writing for the cchS’s newsletter and then surprised us with a membership. clay is a great guy and strongly supports our cemetery endeavors. Thanks, clay!

at the end of april we met with an enthusiastic 4-h group, the country Bump-kins, from delaware county. we showed them how to do resets and the kids got right to work. in two hours we ad-dressed thirteen stones in yendes cemetery, located on rte. 10 between hamden and delhi. we plan to do more stones next year, as it was a joy working with them. youth interest and appreciation is critical to the long-term suc-cess of our cemeteries.

in May we were excited to learn a cemetery Lover’s Facebook follower was clear-ing a cemetery and wanted us to stop by to see their prog-ress. we met the owner, Sue powell, and her two friends, carolee Byrnes, and kathy

Sturgess Ouimet. These three great ladies are doing a tre-mendous job uncovering a long-forgotten cemetery in the town of Otego. when they are ready, we will go back and show them how to repair and reset the stones in need of at-tention. while we were talk-ing, a broken gravestone was uncovered. Later on, i real-ized my sister and i had been in that very cemetery over 30 years earlier. That newly found stone was Squire Bird-sall, a great uncle of mine!

probably our most reward-ing work this spring was done for our very dear friend, Mary dexter. at her request, we reset four downed stones of early cortland pioneers at cortland rural cemetery. we also worked on two stones in Texas Valley, cortland coun-ty, along with others in kee-ney Settlement, cuyler, and Burdick cemeteries.

we have had two cemetery work days in Stewart’s cor-ners, Town of plymouth and preston poor house cem-etery. we accomplished a lot, and would like to thank those who helped: deb and Bill pratt, kurt riegel, Stefan Foster, ray Ballard, kathy Schmidt, and Marlene utter.

we met the energetic Mari-lyn Fuller from Smyrna who invited us to sit in on a dis-cussion with Smyrna’s mayor, dave raimy, a town board member, the town historian, and cemetery author, Sharon donahe. we talked about op-tions for the town’s west end cemetery. The group will be looking at some funding ef-forts and soliciting volunteers to help this neglected cem-etery. we are available for any assistance they may need, in-cluding a work day with some pointers on how we do things.

in May, Tina spoke to the dar from hamilton on clean-ing gravestones. it was a small group of dedicated ladies who are interested in preserving the history of their revolu-tionary war ancestors, as well as cemeteries in general. That same month, three folks came from roger’s hollow cem-etery and asked to learn some techniques they could utilize. we demonstrated in Spen-cer cemetery, a small burial ground between east guilford

and rockdale, where some of my descendants lie. Tina and i often volunteer there.

a recent e-mail put us in touch with the three Brown cousins; they were looking for someone to do work in Smith-ville’s cowles cemetery, where many of their ancestors are buried. Three nice guys and a nice little cemetery. unfortunately, someone had previously worked in there and we will need to redo their work if we can. a word of caution to those seeking to have historical markers re-paired or cleaned: people may purport to be knowledgeable about marble and sandstone, but very few in this area are, so buyers beware!

This year we are most ex-cited about the development at Mt. hope cemetery in Norwich. it is probably the largest cemetery in chenango county and is among the old-est, having been founded in 1811. Tina recently bumped into a cemetery board mem-ber, kay Zaia. after a chat, it was decided she would see if she could find some volun-teers who would be interested in doing some resets. with over 250 stones down in the cemetery, many of them being some of the oldest, this prom-ises to be a significant event. we are very happy to show the volunteers the proper pro-cedures for resetting stones. it sets a great example, so we hope it will spur other cem-eteries to do the same.

we are hopeful by the hap-penings we have seen thus far this year. is this the start of an awakening of interest in our cemeteries that will reverse the neglect we have seen for so many years? we hope so. it will require the efforts of many people and organiza-tions to achieve this goal. Not all of our cemeteries will be saved. Volunteers hold the key, so for now it is one stone/one cemetery at a time. we thank all those people who do care and are willing to do some-thing to save our cemeteries.

Next time: i am but a num-ber… i have no name… where am i buried?

BAPTIST CHURCH ON RIV-ER STREET:The old Baptist Church standing on River Street. This church has been around River Street for nearly 150 years. The idea of the church was enacted upon by four-teen local Christians who had assembled in the house of Enoch Harrington on Riv-er Street on November 10, 1868.Information for Do You Re-member was researched and compiled by Jacob Wes-ley, Intern of the Sidney His-torical Association.

The boundaries of the pro-posed fire district shall be the same as the boundaries formed by the existing Mt. upton Fire protection dis-tricts in the Towns of guil-ford, Butternuts, and unadilla with the exception that there shall be no boundary line along the contiguous border between the Towns as cur-rently exists with the existing fire protection districts. all of the real property and only the real property currently within the Mt. upton Fire protection districts is intended to be in-cluded in the proposed fire district.

The estimated tax rate per thousand of assessed valua-tion of the proposed district based on aggregate assessed valuation of taxable property within the proposed fire dis-trict utilizing the 2015 final assessment roll projected to be assessed, levied, and col-lected in the fire district’s first fiscal year of operation is un-changed from the current tax rate and amounts to a rate of $1.62 per thousand for proper-ties in the Town of guilford, a rate of $1.60 per thousand for properties in the Town of Butternuts, and a rate of $2.21 per thousand for properties in the Town of unadilla. The amount of the total tax levy for fire protection and emergency services in 2017 is expected to be identical to the amount of tax levy for 2016. The for-mula by which the amount of future tax levies is calculated by the proposed fire district is expected to be consistent with the historical practices of the fire protection districts. a de-tailed explanation of how the estimated rate of assessment was computed for properties in each town included within the proposed fire district is on file with the Town clerks of each town.

Author on the Rise Visits Sidney to Discuss Of Better Blood

By allison collins

SidNey – On the after-noon of Sunday, June 12, a small, but captive crowd gathered in the Sidney Memo-rial public Library’s commu-nity Smart room to hear au-thor, Susan Moger, discuss her debut novel, Of Better Blood.

Moger, 74, opened by re-counting what a pleasant surprise it was to find her-self, at her age, celebrating the publication (and decid-edly warm reception) of her first novel. “dreams do come true,” gushed Moger, who de-scribed seeing her book on li-brary shelves as “an especial thrill.” at a point, Moger at-tributed the success and pub-lication of Of Better Blood to simply being in “the right place, at the right time,” and came over charmingly taken with her own writerly good fortune. Moger joked that she kept scanning the room for the author belonging to the ‘meet the author’ event, only to remember that it was she.

described as, “Sure to spark difficult but neces-sary discussions,” (kirkus reviews), Moger’s compel-ling young adult novel, set in 1920’s america, delves into the racial purity movement that gained societal traction across the country at the time and essentially worked to os-tracize and make invisible any individual deemed ‘un-fit.’ during Sunday’s session,

Moger detailed how the nov-el’s protagonist, a young girl named rowan, was first in-spired by a relative who, like rowan, battled childhood po-lio. Moger shared how, afflict-ed in 1916, her relative’s own father divulged that “he never wanted a crippled daughter,” and how that disclosure had stuck with said relative her whole life long, despite over-coming polio and living into her late seventies.

Moger explained that her own relative’s anecdote, paired with similar stories of childhood institutionaliza-tion, launched the research into eugenics that would be-come the germ of Of Better Blood. “if you weren’t born a perfect baby, the solution was to hide you away,” said Mo-ger. “it was rejection based on imperfection.”

Moger went on to men-tion how, during the eugen-ics movement, state-to-state legislation was passed, dis-criminating against disabled individuals and, oftentimes, legally permitting govern-ment-mandated sterilization. “The injustice of it really struck me,” said Moger, who also noted, “i became a better person while writing this.”

Moger drafted the incho-ate version of Of Better Blood during the annual novel-writing challenge, known as NaNowriMo (National Novel writing Month), wherein writers are called upon to

compose 50,000 words in the month of November. Moger, who has been part of a writ-ers’ group since 2003 and described herself as “always writing, always reading,” re-called Sunday how that first draft left her “with a lot of junk” but gave her, too, the real meat of the story.

in the past, Moger worked as an editor for Scholastic Magazine and wrote award-winning pedagogic guides. Of her writing career before Of Better Blood, Moger said, “all those were satisfying projects, but there was always fiction i wanted to write.”

She shared that, presently at work on a follow-up book about a heroic set of twins in 1930’s germany, her ultimate vision is for a trilogy, tenta-tively conceived of as “The Betterment” series.

Moger’s Sidney presenta-tion coincided with a visit to family residing locally. Sun-day’s event was organized by Moger’s relative, Sidney ro-tarian, Tigi armour.

The Sidney Memorial pub-lic Library is in possession of two, signed copies of Moger’s Of Better Blood and more can be learned at Moger’s website, susanmoger.com. She is also on Twitter, with the handle @SusanMoger, on Facebook as Susan Moger author and her instagram account is susanmoger.

Author Susan Moger (seated) is shown here signing a copy of her debut young adult novel, Of Better Blood, at the Sunday, June 12 Meet-the-Author event held at the Sidney Memorial Public Library.

Riveting Production of Carmen to Kick Off 20th Season at FSC

FraNkLiN – On Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, June 19 at 2 p.m., the Franklin Stage company will host the detroit’s Opera MOdO and its thrilling and unique two-hour interpretation of Bizet’s ravishing lyric opera, Carmen. Fourteen singers will be accompanied by a five-piece chamber ensemble, comprising ruotao Mao on violin, hakan Tayga-hromek on cello, pascal archer on clarinet and Norman Thibodeau on flute, all led by pianist Steven Mcghee.

This contemporary production set in a women’s prison (as in the hit TV show Orange is the New Black), was conceived and directed by Opera MOdO founder, danielle wright, and the role of “carmen,” one of drama’s most notorious femme fatales, is portrayed as a transgender woman and sung by a male voice, countertenor, Bryan deSilva.

in 1875, Bizet’s now-beloved opera scandalized its first audiences. with this fearless produc-tion, director wright reminds us how tantalizing and relevant the tragic story of Bizet’s freedom-loving gypsy remains today.

Opera MOdO’s mission is to support emerging singers and make opera fresh for seasoned opera lovers, as well as accessible to new audiences. This production signifies a perfect match for Franklin Stage company, which, in 2016, is celebrating 20 seasons of relevant and exciting productions of classic plays - always admission free, with donations gratefully accepted.

reservations are recommended. call 829-3700, or visit [email protected] to book tickets. FSc is located in chapel hall, at 25 institute St. in Franklin.

programming continues to be made possible, in part, by the NyS council on the arts, with the support of governor andrew cuomo and the NyS Legislature. More details about FSc, chapel hall and this twentieth season can be found at franklinstagecompany.org.
