This stump is all that remains of a giant evergreen that stood for more than 200 years on the property that became Riddell State Park.

BOCES-Trained Wolfe Rises To NASCAR Crew Chief Editor’s Note: Paul Wolfe, a 1995 graduate of ONC BOCES’ Otsego Area Occupational Center and crew chief for Penske Racing’s #2 Dodge Miller Light NASCAR, was interviewed by ONC BOCES’ administrator Joe Booan and welding instructor Ed Bordinger over the Christmas break. This is a transcript of the interview.

Q

UESTION: Thinking back to your high school days, why did you decide to come to BOCES? ANSWER: Someone came to present the programs. I saw it as an opportunity to work with my hands; hands-on learning. I thought if I could learn a skill, I would take that skill and be successful. I was not very excited to sit in class and learn from a textbook. If I could do something hands-on, well, that was exciting to me.

Q: What were your career goals at the time?

A: Thinking back, my dad took me to race

Paul Wolfe, a 1995 grad of ONC BOCES, is a crew chief for Penske Racing in North Carolina.

tracks. When I was 11 years old, I had a go-kart.

I raced it. I knew then I loved to race. It was a passion. Taking welding gave me an opportunity to transfer skills and knowledge to race cars. I was able to apply what I learned and loved to do.

Today, I go to work every day and I love it.

Q: How did your experience at OAOC and in Welding help to shape your career goals?

A: I was awarded the Capra Scholarship to attend the Hobart School of Welding in Ohio. It was important for me to continue my education and to continue to learn. After graduating from Hobart, I actually came back to OAOC to test for my state DOT Welding exam. Mr. Bordinger encourages students to get that credential. I passed.

At that point, I packed up and went to North Carolina. I had a goal to get into NASCAR. To do this, I needed to be there.

You, Too, May Enjoy Snowshoeing!

HIKE/From B1 going to do. Ian strapped me into a pair of snowshoes he found in the garage and I stubbornly ambled onto the trail.

“My first experience with snowshoes was a moonlight walk from here to Pine Lake,” said Steve. “I made it about half a mile and walked the rest of the way in a foot and a half of snow – that was easier for me.”

Within 100 feet, I hurt from my toes all the way up to the middle of my back.

I lumbered like Godzilla stomping Tokyo, far enough behind the group that I started to feel lonely. But my steps began to pick up, and I even tried a quick jog in Allie’s honor. I got a nice gait going, but I couldn’t imagine doing a 5K. “My dad bought me snowshoes the first year we lived in Oneonta,” said Ashley Camarata. “It was intense – we went all the way up to SUNY Oneonta,

about three miles. I slept for four hours afterwards.”

Our first stop was a 200year-old broken pine tree, “Alton B. Riddell” – Trish’s grandfather – “said from the time he was little, this tree never seemed to get any bigger as he grew,” Steve recounted. “I don’t believe in coincidence, because a month after he died in March 1995, that tree fell.”

About two miles in, the trail got rocky, with wide muddy streams to forge.

A stick got caught in my snowshoes and I almost fell over trying to dislodge it.

With very little snow and mostly ice left on the trail, I had no choice but to abandon my snowshoes against a tree and come back for them later.

But with plenty of winter left, there’s still time for “ideal” snowshoe conditions.

According to Harry Peplinski, owner of the Mount Otsego Ski Shop

SEASON

in Cooperstown, the best snowshoe conditions are a hard-packed base with three to six inches of powder on top. “It’s not much fun plowing through fresh-fallen snow,” he said. “It sounds nice, but it’s pure drudgery.”

The Mount Otsego Ski Shop rents snowshoes for $15 a day. “Any place you can cross-country ski, you can snowshoe,” said Peplinski. “And it’s best to snowshoe where other people have already been.”

In addition to state parks such as Robert V. Riddell, Betty and Wilbur Davis in Westford and Glimmerglass, Peplinski said state forest land and local dirt roads offer good snowshoe hikes.

“You can drive up as far the roads are plowed, park, and walk from there,” he said.

I might not ever compete in a snowshoe 5K, but with the basics under my belt, I’m “thinking snow” and planning my next trail hike.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY, JANUARY 24-25, 2013

Wolfe Raced For Joe Gibbs, Then Found His Niche Leading Pit Crew WOLFE/From B1 about the sequence of jobs that lead you to your current position?

A: I volunteered for a while in different shops. I used my welding and fabrication skills and had to prove to employers that I was capable. Demonstrating my skills opened up doors for me. I eventually landed a job with Joe Gibbs Racing (1996-2000). I was a fabricator; I worked on making bodies for cars. Later I worked as

a welder, making chassis. In this organization, I learned how to “set up” cars (prepared cars for racing).

Later, Gibbs Racing gave me the opportunity to drive. I did well in the Busch North Series, then drove in the Busch Series. I didn’t have enough success to continue to drive. I went back to building race cars and did this with small Busch teams through about 2009. Here, you make do with what you have.

Small teams do not have a lot of

money. You make do on a small budget. In 2009, I got the opportunity with Penske Racing.

Q: What advice would you give an incoming student in CTE/Welding, or a student struggling to find his career path?

A: The biggest thing is to work hard. It is important to set goals; short-term and long-term goals.

Your short-term goals can be basic. A lot of the time I wondered if I would make it in racing. There

were times that it seemed like I would not make it, but I kept working hard. I never gave up.

Q: How do you stay on top of your game and compete again next year in the Nextel Series?

A: We have had great success. I think the more success you have, the higher the expectations will follow. We want more as a team.

We are not just going to sit back and ride this out. Because of the success we have had, everyone

will try to beat us! It will be hard to stay on top. Confidence is important. We have the confidence and the capability to being better.

We won this year, but we know that we have room to grow and improve. It will be my job to find where we need to improve.

Q: Who is your greatest competitor (Who do you need to beat)?

A: It is very difficult to compete against any team. However, Hendrick’s Racing is very tough.

Colin Heckman Celebration of Life

Our family would like to express our grateful appreciation for all the wonderful support we have received from all our friends and the community. We are truly blessed to have so many caring, loving people around us. From all the wonderful baked goods to coffee, drinks etc, to all of you who brought us so much food to our house, which we shared with all our supporters that have come and grieved with us. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Special thanks to some very good friends who would not let us take care of anything that had to be arranged from the very beginning to the end. Mr. & Mrs. Rick Hulse and Mr. & Mrs. Chris Hulse who took the reins on the very first day and started to plan and implement all arrangements leading to the memorial. Mr. Martin Tillapaugh whose deep sensibility and upmost professionalism on top of his gracious generosity has given us so much peace and comfort. Good friend Chad McBride who organized a fundraiser in Colin’s memory to defray some of the expenses as well as provided us with so much food and most of all took over so much of the responsibility associated with a service as such.

Great thanks to Norma & Tim Swartout who organized the reception at the RSCS cafeteria and stood by us in so many ways. We love you. Many thanks to our wonderful Richfield Springs Central School in particular Mr. Baracco and Mrs. Climenhagen to allow us to have Colin’s celebration of life at the school and make certain that we did not lack anything in order to make this a beautiful and memorable celebration.

Thank you Leanette Weldon for all you have done. For us your swift action has given us much peace of mind and enables us to grieve without having to worry. You are great. Sherry Gurrsie we love you, thank you. We do not wish to leave anyone out, however to list all that have helped us in so many ways would consume this paper. A special thanks to the membership of the Cooperstown Country Club for all of your amazing support to our family. Thank you to all of you known and anonymous donors Thank you.

May the light of love forever burn in your hearts!

With deepest gratitude, Dirk, Lisa, Derek and Monique.
