Del. Co. Board Set to Push Forward With DPW Site Determination By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - Delaware County is getting closer to determining which site or sites will be the home for the Department of Public Works (DPW) facility.

There were four candidates vying for two seats on the Walton Village Board of Trustees going in to village election day on Tuesday, March 20. Winners of the seats were Steve Condon and Joe Cetta. Condon, who led the way with 161 votes, and Cetta with 151, easily outdistanced Greg Miller and Bruce Dolph See Walton Elects page 4 with 79 and 76 respectively. Despite the contested election, only 281 voters, out of 1,624 eligible to cast ballots, showed up at the polls. Cetta stated after the vote, “A little Ron Galley/The Reporter short of what Steve Condon, left, and Joe Cetta are Walton’s new I thought village board members.

Congressman Faso Enjoys Pancakes at Shaver Hill Farms By Rosie Cunningham HARPERSFIELD - Shaver Hill Farms in Harpersfield is a finely-tuned family operation, fueled by sweet maple syrup. Over the weekend, the Hill family and friends served an allday breakfast for their 23rd annual open house for New York’s Maple Weekend. Families and visitors traveled to the farm to enjoy a pancake breakfast, and a horse-drawn carriage ride, to boot. As they entered the breakfast arena, guests sampled “taffy,” which is warm syrup combined with snow or shaved ice. Shaver Hill products run the gamut from candy, to sugar, to popcorn, syrup, maple cotton candy, cream and much more. The business also sells anywhere from 15 to 40 evaporators depending on the year, and sapping parts such as jugs and tubing. The farm, according to Damien Hill, 18, has been producing syrup since the 1800s and became an official operation in 2004. Poor milk prices resulted in the family selling their dairy herd, and the family transitioned from milk to syrup and the rest, as they say, is history.

Dennis, David and Duane Hill, with spouses and significant others and the children, Deidra and Damian, run the business. Damian Hill, who came home from Alfred University for the weekend as he often does to help out, said the sapping business is in his DNA. “Just after I was born, I attended my first open house,” he laughed. “I’ve been involved

from the start.” Those who attended the breakfast sampled syrup tapped from 5,000 trees this season. Hill explained that it takes 2,500 gallons of sap before a reverse osmosis machine condenses the liquid and an evaporator then boils the contents down - 40 parts sap will make one part of the sweet treat.

Serving Delaware County and the Surrounding Areas Since 1881 ———— Delaware County’s Leading News Source

Several outbuildings owned by Fred Avila on Tuttle Road in Walton went up in flames yesterday afternoon, though Walton firefighters valiantly tried to save them. The cause of the fire, which was toned out at approximately 2:45 p.m., remains under investigation, according to Walton Fire Chief Bob Brown. A Walton firefighter sustained injuries at the scene and required medical treatment. Walton firefighters were assisted at the scene by the Trout Creek Fire Department. Hancock and Delhi Fire Departments were on standby. The scene was cleared by approximately 5:30 p.m.

STAMFORD - The Stamford Joint Fire Districts will not provide ambulance transports after April 1, an announcement which was made nearly one year ago. As an alternate, the Stamford Fire Department will initiate a First Responder medical service to stabilize and provide treatment to patients. The Stamford Joint Fire District (SJFD) covered parts of Kortright, Harpersfield, the town of Stamford, Jefferson, Gilboa and the village of Stamford. Chairman of the Stamford Joint Fire District Tim Powell announced to the above mentioned towns and village that they would need to determine a

suitable provider for their EMS services. The SJFD oversees the administrative, financial and organizational matters of the Stamford Fire Department. The Stamford Fire Department has the members and uses the vehicles and equipment (bought primarily by the SJFD with taxpayer money) to provide emergency service to those within the geographic area of the SJFD and when called upon outside the area by mutual aid agreements. The SJFD is required by provisions of NYS Town Law to provide fire protection and emergency service - it is not required to provide emergency medical service (initial treatment, stabilization and transport). However, like most of the other fire departments in

the area the Stamford Fire Department has trained members (EMTs) and ambulances to respond to medical calls and typically transport to hospitals. SJFD Commissioner Bill Sharick said he can speak on behalf of the Stamford Fire Department and the district as to what plan they have chosen to enact. “Over the past few years the SJFD has determined that the percentage of calls answered by the fire department EMTs has reached a very low level,” said Sharick. “The SJFD determined that the response was not likely to increase given the current and likely future EMT staffing. We felt that the citizens of the disSee Stamford page 5

Meet Gemma, The Reporter Pet of the Week.

Meet Gemma the Blue-Eyed Pit By Rosie Cunningham STAMFORD - Meet Gemma, a blue eyed, watermelonloving female Pitbull and The Reporter Pet of the Week. Gemma is just over six months old and is owned by Danielle Russo and her fiance, Ryan. The couple acquired Gemma from Poughkeepsie and describe the canine as very energetic, loving and loves car rides. “She loves to cuddle,” said Russo. “She loves her toys and is always with my fiance and I. She is so special to us. We recently had an unimaginable loss shortly after we got Gemma - she is our baby, our best friend and she is my support dog. She loves to play in the snow and eat it.” To submit a pet of the week, email r.cunningham@thereporter.net.

In the report in the March 13 issue of The Reporter that stated that Democrat Erin Collier would seek to run against six male Democrats, it stated that two other women, Luisa Parker and Diane Neall, are also in the running against incumbent Republican John Faso.

Most Village Elections Have Light Turnout

By Tom Coddington DELAWARE COUNTY — There was a light turnout for village elections in Delaware County, with the exception of Walton, where four candidates were seeking two trustee positions, and which is covered in another story in this issue. In the village of Delhi, there were two incumbent trustees running for their own positions — Chris Maney and Jeremy Fitch, and both were re-elected, with Fitch receiving 24 votes and Maney 18. In the village of Hancock, Charleen Caramore received 27 votes and Dorothy Piccosi got 26 for the two trustee positions, and Herbert W. Buckley had 26 votes for a four-year position as village justice. In the village of Franklin, the mayor, Tom Briggs was re-

elected with 18 votes, and Paul DeAndrea, the only trustee whose term was up, also received 18 votes. In the village of Hobart, there was just one candidate running, Kayla Mason, who received 36 votes, and write-in candidate Gordy Key got 19. In the village of Margaretville, there were two incumbent trustees seeking another term, John Hubbell and Chris Dabritz, who each received 26 votes. In the village of Fleischmanns, two positions were up. Dan Halpern, who was on the ballot, got 11 votes, and John Granito, a write-in, received five votes. The village of Stamford had one candidate for trustee — Naikyemi Odedefaa, who has been filling a vacancy, and she got 16 votes.

Andes Town Board Tables Historic Preservation Plan Again By Tom Coddington ANDES — At its March 22 meeting, the Andes town board dealt mostly with the committees and the spring bids, and the supervisor’s report. There was a new committee that deals with the possibility of installing LED street lights in the hamlet. Supervisor Wayland “Bud” Gladstone commented, “I think it’s a good idea, but I want to check with other supervisors to see if they are doing it and report back to you.” Regarding the historic preservation committee, he stated that it would be best to table the matter again, until the Delaware County planning office has dealt with it. Meanwhile, the board resolved that the town planning board is to develop historic preservation criteria for incorporation into the zoning law, which will be approved by the town board. Regarding the pool, director Rachel Andrews reported that a lot of work needs to be done before opening the pool this year. “There is a lot of broken concrete, and work also has be done on the water system. The Andes Fire Department will help us with that, but it will be costly,” she reported.

In his report, Gladstone said that he had received an email from Peg Ellsworth, director of the MARK Project, that an architect has been hired for the Andes Technical Assistance program. He also noted that he and Councilmen Ritchie Gabriel and Shayne Moshier had met with Tom Suazzo and John Moffet to discuss the test well and possible site for the new well, and also the high volume of water coming into the waste water treatment plant. Gladstone also reported that he had called the youth bureau in regards to the summer youth program, and said he would have the paperwork at an April meeting of the board of supervisors. He further noted that he would be attending the March 30 meeting of the Delaware County stream management program. He also reiterated that those living in the water district need to run their water because temperatures are still freezing at night. Finally, he reported that the New York State Department of Transportation wants to set up a meeting to discuss the plans for the crosswalk in front of the school. There were 17 bids, but 10 of them were rejected.

Car Charging Stations and Water Consume Hancock TB Meeting By Anthony Morgano HANCOCK – An Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) was conducted since the last meeting of the Hancock village board, in regards to the water system planning and improvements project. It was concluded at the Monday, March 12 meeting, that there would be no adverse effects on the village of Hancock, and the board adopted a negative declaration to show that no further environmental review needed to be completed. The village, as lead agency for the water project, completed a SEQR or Short Environment Quality Report. In other business, an adjustment was made to the water bill of a local residence after the board determined that a broken pipe in the resident’s basement led to an increase in water used. Historically, in the event of a verified water leak, the village adjusted the sewer portion of the quarterly bill to the past average, as the water did not enter the sewer system, but the water

charge cannot be adjusted because the water was considered “used.” The reduction brought the bill from $532 to $372 after the motion was carried by the board. The board has been advocating for the Safe Water Infrastructure Action Program (SWAP). Bill S3292/A3907 is designed to provide municipalities with the water, sewer and storm water infrastructure, an annual supplemental funding stream to support operation and maintenance activities. This would cover smaller programs including equipment replacements, manhole rehabilitation or water line replacement. The town of Hancock has received a grant to purchase and install two car-charging stations. The stations will be installed in the two village municipal lots. The village will maintain the lots as has been done in the past; the town will assume the costs related to the stations. The town

will pay the village a percentage of the profits - 10 percent of the revenue from the charging stations will go to the company, 90 percent will be split - 70 percent to the municipalities and 30 percent to the village. The next meeting is scheduled for April 9 at 7 p.m.

Faso continued from front page Congressman John Faso took a seat with Harpersfield Supervisor Jim Eisel and said his favorite thing to enjoy homemade syrup on is “of course, pancakes.” “Also, any time I have plain yogurt, I drizzle maple syrup on top,” he added. “I think this whole operation is great. I am a big fan of the maple syrup industry and appreciate all of the hard work. The industry is very critical to our state.” “I’ve been here many times, but I’ve never actually sat down to enjoy breakfast,” said Eisel. “Ideally, we will set up a whole new sugar house,” said Hill, who discussed his goals for the future of Shaver Hill. “We have 5,000 taps now and one day I would like to tap 100,000. For me, I want this place to be a mark on the map. Every year, we make a ton of candy and a ton of cream.” Area producers are beginning to “get in” on the maple business, but Hill said increased production has not effected the family business. “There has been a decreased consumption of artificial maple syrup,” he said. “I believe that number will continue to go down. A lot of research is being conducted in regards to the benefits of maple syrup. They are finding it will help fight against cancer, it helps with stomach problems, Alzheimer’s and in-

flammation.

DPW... continued from front page Hamden and the existing property on Page Avenue in the village. At the last Delaware County Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting, consultants Gerald F. Summe and Mark Molnar provided a presentation to the board and those in attendance. Summe and Molnar explained that the project at the McFarland property is slated to be $26.3 million, which includes the cost for a bridge and road work. The project cost estimate for the hybrid site location of Page Avenue and the Bishop property is $27.47 million. Delaware County Public Works Commissioner Wayne Reynolds answered many questions about the current facility and proposed sites. Problems with the existing DPW main shop became serious in 2006, and identifying a plan for a new facility or facilities has been debated for the past year. Consulting engineers explained

the impact of flooding at the Page Avenue site, and they and several supervisors expressed concerns about keeping the facility there. “It is my professional opinion that Site 3 (McFarland) is by far the best site, so that is my recommendation,” said Reynolds on Friday. “The letter to the board of supervisors from the public works committee and myself dated Feb. 23, 2018, that is on the county website, goes into quite detail on the benefits of that site, so I will attempt to keep these comments shorter. The site is clearly out of the floodplain and has enough elevation to ensure that even with climate change, it will be safe long into the future. The property is large enough to keep all the DPW facilities that are currently together in Delhi together and thereby ensure operational efficiencies. The site will even allow for some expansion in the future if required so it is truly a long-term solution. The proposed bridge

will provide a benefit to both the county and the local community of Delhi. It will connect county Route 18 directly to state Route 10, to keep all the county traffic from having to traverse Delaware Avenue in the Village to get back to the state system. The village can prohibit through trucks and allow for local delivery only if they so choose. It will provide an alternative to crossing the Fitch’s Bridge which will help preserve this historic treasure while allowing development on the south side of the river. It will also provide access to both sides of the river for the village of Delhi during flooding. When the Bridge Street bridge and the Sherwood Road bridges are closed due to the approach roadways being flooded and the state closes the Kingston Street bridge because the flow is against the low chord of the bridge, the proposed bridge will link the north and south side of the river so everyone in the vil-

lage will have access to both the fire department and the hospital. The site is also still practically in the county seat and close to the county emergency operations center. This ensures coordinated responses to all kinds of natural disasters. In addition, the site is more easily accessible for other county agencies that have their vehicles serviced by DPW. Most of those vehicles are located in Delhi so their travel time is much shorter. The local Delhi vendors that supply parts and supplies to the department are much more accessible from Site 3 than the alternate site.” The project has drawn some opposition to the McFarland property, including concerns that taxable property suitable for development would be taken off the tax rolls. “I am in favor of utilizing the Bishop farm,” said Delhi Supervisor Mark Tuthill Friday. “We don’t have to mess around with building a bridge, it has good

drainage and is centrally located.” Tuthill said the McFarland Property, owned by Robert Marty, was designated off limits by the town of Delhi and the village. “We have plans to expand water and sewer and were hoping to one day utilize that property for that, or for further building or a housing lot. There is not a lot of usable land to purchase in Delhi and we would like that land as an option for future expansion.” Tuthill admitted that there is a lot of opposition among the BOS regarding the DPW facility. “I think the DPW committee is putting up a lot of smoke screens, hoping to slip the McFarland Property vote through.” Calls and emails made to property owners Bob Bishop and Robert Marty were not returned as of press time. Site determination will be made at the next BOS meeting on March 28 (tomorrow) at 1 p.m. The site plans and further information can be found on the county board website.

Walton Elects... continued from front page and keep “downtown” well kept, it would project positively on people driving through Walton, he said. Condon, when asked what his priorities are at this time, stated, “Working down on Water Street, getting that cleaned up, and getting downtown so it looks nice again.” Mayor Ed Snow was pleased to get members with village experience on the board. Cetta formerly headed up the village’s department of public works (DPW) and Condon worked at the wastewater treatment plant. Snow said Condon will be assigned to work with DPW and Cetta at the wastewater treatment plant and the theatre, to give both new board members experience in areas they are less familiar with.

Happy Forty-Fourth Anniversary, Walton Senior Meals

5

By Ron Galley Those that attended Walton Senior Meals were treated to a roast pork dinner at the dining center at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church on Benton Avenue, Wednesday, March 21, to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the Walton Senior Meals program. Theresa Bolton and her select second and third grade chorus were on hand to provide music and dancing to entertain the people who were there for the occasion. Senior Dining Project Director Rick Angerer and his assistant, Jo Ann Dewitt, were there to officiate in the celebration. Director for Delaware County Office of the Aging Wayne Shepard also attended, as did Walton Town Supervisor Charlie Gregory. Gregory remarked, “All of Delaware County is fortunate to have such a robust senior meals program. Having dined at both Walton and Delhi sites, I can attest to the fact that the staff members really do care for the folks they serve.” Gregory talked about the importance of the home delivered meals, and the communication that takes place between the people who deliver the meals and the recipients. He stressed the value of the program, which insures the seniors that participate receive at least one balanced meal each day. Following the meal, Angerer addressed attendees with some history of senior meals. He reported that in the last year, 4,308 congregate meals were served at the Walton center, and that 7,145 meals were delivered to homes, for a total of 11,453 meals from this location. Delaware County Senior Meals has six locations, he said, in Grand Gorge, Delhi, Sidney, Hancock,

Theresa Bolton’s Townsend School Select Chorus performed at the Walton Senior Meals site on Wednesday, March 21, as part of the site’s anniversary celebration. Because it was also “Wacky Wednesday” at school, the diners got an extra treat as the children were all dressed in “wacky” attire. The chorus, made up of second and third grade students, performed three songs with their signature motions that make them local celebrities. In the back row, left to right, are Skylar Bennett, Raegan Foster, Natalie Hoffman, Peyton Zenner, Mayla Evans, Kai Storrer, Karlee McClenon, Caragh O’Connor. In the front row, left to right, Linkin Backus, Anika Fassler, Alivia Conklin, Izabella Armstrong, Annalia Yetto. Margaretville and the Walton site. County-wide in the past year, 28,196 congregate meals were served, and 52,291 were home-delivered for a total of 84,477. Delaware Opportunities contracts with Office of the Aging, according to Angerer, to manage and provide the county’s senior dining program. On-site preparation is available at all six locations with congregate dining, which allows seniors to gather together to enjoy a good meal and socialization. “Eleven thousand meals

doesn’t happen by accident, but come from the support of the community as well as the Seniors,” Angerer stated. He described the home delivery system as similar to Meals on Wheels. The program has evolved, as have the participants. The program is expanding because people are living longer. Angerer told The Reporter that 40 years ago people were retiring at 60 and the life expectancy was 72. Now people are still working at 60, starting a second career, and living well into their 80s.

According to Angerer, “Because of better health care, they are more independent.” Congregates are more ambulatory, and some will eventually transition to home delivered meals, which makes up two-thirds of the program, he said. A highlight of the anniversary was again the second and third grade performers from Townsend School under the direction of their music teacher, Theresa Bolton. Bolton has entertained the community with her students at many events and venues over the years. This year

the children performed numerous songs, including “America the Beautiful,” “Amazing Grace” and “Shenandoah.” The financing for the senior meals program comes a number of sources, Angerer said. “Nearly half of the funding comes from the county, approved by the Delaware County Board of Supervisors.” Senior meals also reaches out to local politicians for assistance. According to Angerer, “The program continues to grow and expand.”

Stamford... continued from front page trict were not being adequately served and in a sense, may have had a false feeling of security in believing that an ambulance and EMTs would quickly respond to their medical problem. Sharick said beginning on April 1 the Stamford Fire Department (SFD) will attempt to provide emergency medical response by way of First Responder (FR) service rather than full Emergency Medical Service. “The difference is that FR service provides only for trained Emergency Medical Technicians(EMT) to respond to the scene and stabilize and transport the patient,” he outlined. “Another agency will also have to respond to the scene with an ambulance to transport the patient to a hospital. The other agency will likely be Cooperstown Medical Transport (CMT) or if necessary, because CMT is not available or some distance away, one of the other adjacent fire department ambulances (Hobart, Grand Gorge or Jefferson). For several years CMT has been called as automatic mutual aid for every medical call that originates within the SJFD area. On and after April 1 CMT will continue to be called as automatic mutual aid to the Delaware County towns within the SJFD area. It is not known at this time if CMT or some other agency will be called as automatic mutual aid for the Schoharie County town portions of the SJFD (Gilboa and Jefferson).” Two ambulances have been in use by the SFD. These two vehicles will be sold by SJFD. The proceeds will be used for support of the First Responder service. “The SJFD has purchased a new Chevrolet Tahoe,” Sharick said. “This vehicle will be equipped with medical equipment capable of treating and stabilizing patients. This will be a dedicated medical response unit that will meet full certification standards of the NYS Health Department. It is expected that the vehicle will be in service during the month of April. It will be housed at the Stamford Fire Department and

will have the call designation 2772.” All possible medical equipment currently on board one of the ambulances will be transferred to the new First Responder service vehicle. New equipment costs will be minimal. The cost of the vehicle has been planned for and will be taken from the SJFD operating budget. Insurance, fuel and maintenance costs will come from the current SJFD budget. Money for the SJFD operations originates as property taxes from all non-exempt land holdings within the portions of the five towns of the SJFD. “EMT staffing in terms of how many qualified personnel will respond to a medical emergency scene is the unknown,” said Sharick. “This is the problem that has led to the decision to terminate ambulance service. There are fewer than six qualified EMTs currently on the SFD roster. The time it takes to transport a patient to a hospital and return to Stamford (over two and sometimes more than three hours) is likely a primary reason that many of the current EMTs cannot answer a call thus leading to low response rates. It is hoped that by eliminating the time it takes to travel to and from a hospital more EMTs will be able to respond to medical calls via the First Responder service. The SJFD has set a level of 50 percent response rate over the first six months of this program. In October the First Responder service will be evaluated.” The SJFD has developed this program as a way of attempting to continue some level of emergency medical care to the citizens within the SJFD area. It is critical that other agencies also respond with an ambulance to provide full medical response. “Ultimately, the town and the village of Stamford boards have the obligation to provide their citizens with an adequate level of emergency medical care,” said the commissioner. “This will likely be some combination of volunteers, commercial ambulance services or county EMS resources.”

one dozen county fire departments and took in the creative floats. Parade committee member and organizer Glenn Nealis deemed this year’s parade “the biggest.” He attributed Saturday’s success to nearly a decade spent establishing the event as an annual highlight in the Delhi community. Nealis “created” the event along with community member Bob Cairns and Shire Pub owner Ed O’Neill to draw individuals to the village while celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and marking (hopefully) the end of the winter season. “Overall, the parade was our largest yet, both in terms of participants in the parade and spectators,” said Nealis Monday. “Feedback from the community and parade participants was great. Everyone really enjoyed it. “A special moment for me,” he said, “was when the last unit of the parade left the parking lot at SUNY Delhi around 12:30

and from that vantage point I could look down the length of Main Street and see the parade stretching from one end of Main Street to the other, realizing that the parade still had about another 25 minutes to go before the end.” Nealis said the parade committee would like to thank the Greater Delhi Area Chamber of Commerce, the village of Delhi Police Department and SUNY Delhi for their support and assistance. “A special thank you to Jill and Jason Coleman for helping to get the parade formed up and starting on time,” he added. “We would also like to thank all the participants and spectators who all make this a great day for the community.” Parade results and awards: Best Float - Overall: Delaware County ARC - $250 cash prize.

Food is a necessity and an expense that simply cannot be avoided. A 2012 Gallup poll found that Americans reported spending $151 on food per week. Around one in 10 said they spent $300 or more per week, and those with higher incomes tend to spend more on weekly food bills than people

When to Use Credit and Debit Cards The decision whether to use a debit card or a credit card can affect consumers’ credit ratings and make it easier or more difficult to manage personal finances. This decision often depends on the situation and understanding how each of the cards work. Credit cards allow customers to borrow money from the credit card company up to a certain limit with the intent to pay back the amount used at the end of the month. If that balance is not paid in full, customers will be charged interest fees. Debit cards are a direct link to the money a person has in the bank. Debit cards withdraw cash straight from a checking account, so no interest will ever need to be paid on purchases made with debit cards. Since 2004, debit card use has exceeded credit cards for purchases made in the United States, according to the Federal Reserve. In 2012, debit cards were used to make 47 billion payments, compared to 26.2 billion payments made with credit cards. But debit cards might not always be the best choice in certain situations. Here are a few ways to weigh the options of what payment method might be best. If you’re concerned about fraud: Credit Credit cards typically offer better fraud protection than debit cards. If unauthorized purchases are reported, the consumer’s maximum liability is $50, though many credit cards offer zero liability. Debit cards offer some protection, but it may take a little longer to get your money back, and loss responsibility amounts may be higher. If you don’t want to overspend: Debit Staying on budget and not overspending can be challenging when using credit cards. When cash leaves your hand, it is easy to keep track of what you have left. This isn’t as easy when using credit to make purchases. Some shoppers feel they are more likely to overspend when using credit than having money deducted from their bank accounts via debit cards. Bank of America says record keeping is made simpler with debit cards and they are a great way to avoid spending more money than you have available. If you like incentives: Credit Credit cards are still the best way to earn rewards on purchases made, and credit card companies recognize the rewards market is more competitive than ever before. From airline miles to cash back bonuses to points toward vacations, credit card companies now offer a host of benefits that debit cards do not offer. But industry analysts at CreditCards.com say the industry is so competitive that many banks are trying to attract new customers and keep current ones happy, so debit card users may be able to earn some perks if they are not doing so already. If you’re shopping at small businesses: Debit Business Insider says it costs small-business owners more to process credit transactions than transactions in which customers use a debit card or cash. By using debit cards when patroniz-

ing local businesses, consumers can help small business owners keep more money in their pockets. Debit and credit cards are secure and convenient ways to shop. One card may be better in certain instances than the other. The decision of whether to use a debit card or a credit card can affect consumers’ credit ratings and make it easier or more difficult to manage one’s personal finances. This decision often depends on the situation and understanding how each of these cards works. Since 2004, use of debit cards has exceeded credit cards for purchases made in the United States, reports the Federal Reserve.

year, says BBC Good Food. Saving money on food may seem challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. With some smart strategies, individuals can reduce their food budgets and still have enough to eat. 1. Store food properly. Pay attention to the correct ways to store food, including promptly refrigerating or freezing items to prevent spoiling. 2. Do your own work. Prepackaged, presliced and preportioned foods take longer for manufacturers to prepare, and those costs are passed on to consumers. Separating foods and putting them into manageable portions may take a little time, but the savings for consumers could be considerable. 3. Buy in bulk when it makes sense. Bulk warehouse stores can make it easier to stock up on essentials, but they also can entice people to buy items they really do not need. Consumers should only purchase items that make fiscal sense or ones that cannot be purchased elsewhere for less. Always compare the price per weight or per unit when shopping. 4. Stock up on staples. Be on the lookout for sales on items used frequently, particularly staples that can be stored away. Watch for low prices on coffee, oils and canned goods, stocking up when such items go on sale. 5. Embrace dried and canned beans. Beans offer filling fiber and protein for relatively little cost. They also can be added to meat or vegetable recipes to

bulk up dishes. 6. Plan ahead. Planning ahead can save big bucks. Peruse sales before leaving the house and spend time visiting a few different stores to save more money. Make use of store coupon apps to preload savings that can be used at checkout. 7. Explore frugal recipes. Skipping meat or other expen-

sive items once in a while can help reduce food bills. Save expensive items for treats, which can make you appreciate them that much more. The same concept can be used for dining out. It is relatively easy to save money on the cost of food when consumers make a commitment to being more frugal.

The annual meeting of the Walton Fire Department will be held in the firemen’s rooms in Walton Hall next Wednesday evening, April 3rd, at 8 o’clock. Friends of Miss Cora Sisum gave her a bridal shower Monday evening at the home of Mrs. W. R. Hall, Benton Avenue. Many useful gifts were received. The Walton high school basketball team was defeated by the Delhi five at the county seat Friday evening. A large party of “rooters” accompanied the Walton boys in autos.

Ralph Crawford, who came east last year from Star county, North Dakota, and bought the Hamilton farm, McGibbon Hollow, was recently in Washington, D. C., where he applied for four patents on farm machinery. The Congregational church of Walton, by a unanimous vote Sunday, granted leave of absence to the pastor Rev. C. S. Wyckoff, in order that he may engage in war camp work at one of the army training camps. E. B. Guild, cashier of the First National Bank, has been appointed manager for the Red Cross War Fund, which opens May 20. The one hundred million dollars raised for the Red Cross fund the year ending in June has practically all been appropriated for relief purposes, largely in France.

$32,270 MORE SCHOOL MONEY Senate Education Bill Provides More State Aid. The bill introduced in the state senate to repeal the Township School Law and embody its best features in the new measure provides for greatly increased state aid for the school districts. Union free school districts may receive nonresident pupils and charge a tuition equal to the actual cost of instruction; the state paying $20, the district from which the pupil comes paying the difference. Should this feature of the new bill be passed there would be an income to District No. 1 Walton, from the districts contributing nonresidents of between $2,000 and $3,000 and other high schools would be similarly benefited. State aid provided by this bill is greatly increased. Every school district in every town school district will receive a district quota of $250. Every union free school district will receive a district quota of $250. To every city, union free school district and town school district maintaining an academic department an academic quota of $600 will be added. In other words every high school district will receive $850 in lieu of the $125 district quota and $100 academic quota now received or a net gain of $625. If the bill should become law the total of state aid received by Delaware county schools would be increased $26,775 in the districts quotas and $6,500 in the academic quotas, a total of $33,275. Sullivan county would receive $17,950 more, Otsego $35,300 more, Chenango an increase of $28,200, Schoharie of $18,450.

CHATTEL MORGAGES STAND Justice Kellogg Finds For Defendant in Latera − Davis Case. A final hearing was had in Supreme Court at Oneonta before Justice Kellogg on the 23rd of March, 1918, in the case of Angelo Latera v. Freeman W. Davis. The parties are from Hobart. The plaintiff brought an action to have three chattel mortgages which he had given to Mr. Davis – one for the purchase price of cows in the sum of $950, and two additional chattel mortgages which he had given for $300 and $125 respectively, declared paid and cancelled of record. Judge Kellogg heard the testimony of the parties and their witnesses, and when the case was closed, on motion of Mr. O’Connor, attorney for the

defendant Davis, dismissed the complaint, and ordered judgment in favor of Mr. Davis and against Latera. John G. Johnson appeared for the plaintiff.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN FOR THREE BILLIONS

Florence Groat Committed Felony to Obtain Morphine.

Bonds Will Bear 4 1.4 Per Cent Interest

DRIVE WILL START APRIL 6. Committees Organized Throughout County to Make Issues a Success in This Section − Baby Bonds. The third Liberty Loan to open April 6, will be for $3,000,000,000 and all over subscriptions at 4 ¼ per cent interest. Bonds of the first loan, bearing 3 ½ per cent interest, and of the second loan at 4 per cent may be converted into the new bonds, but those of the third loan will not be convertible into any future issue. This announcement was made by Secretary McAdoo Monday. In connection with the loan, the secretary plans to establish a sinking fund with which to purchase back any bonds of the third loan thrown on the market, in order to aid in keeping the price up to par. The maturity of the bonds is yet to be determined, but it was officially stated that they would be long term, probably between 20 and 30 years. Owing to engagements of E. N. Potter, chairman of the Liberty Loan committee for district No. 4, which includes Delaware and Sullivan counties, it has been found necessary to change slightly the date on which it is planned to hold meetings in these two counties. The meetings will now be held as follows: The Liberty House, Liberty, N. Y., at 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 4th; First Nat’l Bank, Walton, N. Y., at 4 p.m. on April 5th; Nat’l Bank of Roxbury, Roxbury, N. Y., at 11 a.m. on April 6th. This subdivides the territory so as to make it as easy as possible for committeemen to attend whichever meeting is most convenient. It is hoped that the chairmen will bring with them as many members of their respective committees as can possibly come, as Mr. Potter feels that it is extremely important to have a large attendance so as to thoroughly canvass the situation and map out a definite policy which each community can follow. All expenses for all persons making this trip will be gladly met by the Liberty Loan Committee of New York, and it is suggested that those planning to attend could combine and come by automobiles.

Must not Change Occupation. Complaints have been received, says a bulletin issued by the adjutant general, of cases in which men receiving deferred classification on occupation grounds have taken advantage of the fact and have changed their occupation to something which they consider more remunerative which does not entitle them to deferment. Attention of boards is invited to section 118 of the Selective Service regulations which directs that they keep themselves informed as to the status of registrants in deferred classes, and on change of status to reclassify them and hold them for military service.

Finish Examinations. Dr. J. A. Holley examined Wednesday the remaining men in Class I of the draft, who had not previously been examined. John R. Oles and Joseph Cetta of Walton and Ward J.

FORGED DOCTOR’S NAME

Florence Groat of Delhi was arrested by Sheriff Alford L. Austin in Merrill & Humphries drug store in Delhi Monday morning when she presented a prescription for morphine to which she had forged the name of Dr. C. R. Woods. Dr. Woods has been treating the woman for the morphine habit and during the past three months has gradually reduced the amount allowed the woman as a drug addict from 20 to 14 grains every third day. It now appears that some time in January, during the physician’s absence, the woman entered the doctor’s office and stole a pad of his prescription blanks. She made out some twenty of these for morphine prescriptions and forged Dr. Woods’ name to them before detected. Evidently the supply of the blanks stolen gave out for Saturday she presented a prescription written on a plain slip of paper. Merrill & Humphries became suspicious, and showed the slip to Dr. Woods, who pronounced it a forgery. Monday morning the woman was seen by the district attorney as she entered the drug store, and Sheriff Austin was sent for. He confronted the woman after she had presented another forged prescription and placed her under arrest. At first she denied signing the doctor’s name, but later admitted doing so, and was held by Justice D. T. Shaw to wait the action of the grand jury. Action may be taken, however, to commit her to Mattewan state hospital. Some of the signatures were very clever imitations of Dr. Woods’ handwriting, while in others little effort had apparently been made to conceal the forgery. The girl’s father, Henry Groat, was taken to the county house this week.

TO PROTECT SOLDIER’S RIGHTS Copies of Civil Relief Bill Forwarded to Local Boards. The local exemption boards have received copies of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act, recently passed by Congress for the protection of sailors from undue hardships due to their inability to bring or defend lawsuits and to attend to their business obligations or property rights during their absence in military service. This act provides for special protection by the courts of soldiers who have bought or leased land or tools or furniture upon which an installment is yet due; for the solider who may have mortgaged his home so as to be liable to foreclosure; who may have started a homestead or mining claim, or may have a money claim which the expiration of time during his absence may serve as a legal bar to the collection. The soldier or sailor who may owe money on a note or may be sued on some claim during his absence and therefore be unable to defend himself. The act places upon those knowing of such circumstances the moral responsibility of informing the court before which the legal action is brought, so that the soldiers’ or sailors’ rights may be protected. In case the absentee is sued, the action may be restrained.

Travis Sailed for France. Word has been received by Mrs. F. C. Biedekapp of Walton that her nephew, Ralph Travis of Hale Eddy, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Travis, has sailed for France. Mr. Travis was a senior in Union college, and left Walton three weeks ago with the selected men. He was assigned to Co. C of the 305th Machine Gun Battalion in Camp Upton.

MOTHER AND GIRL INJURED UNDER AUTO Bad Accident Sunday on State Road Near Delhi

HAD KNEE PAN FRACTURED Mrs. David Condon Also Hurt Internally and Daughter Has Broken Leg. Mrs. David Condon and her daughter, Olive of Glenburnie, near Delhi, were seriously injured Sunday afternoon, when a Ford car, in which they were riding turned turtle on the Andes state road. Mrs. Condon had her kneecap broken, her wrist sprained and suffered internal injuries. Her daughter, Olive, aged 16 years, who is a dining room girl at the Edgerton House, had both bones of her left leg broken below the knee. David Condon, Jr., a son, aged 15 years, escaped with painful bruises. The accident happened about 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon, when the Condon family were begin taken home from Delhi by Howard Lambert, nephew of George Lambert, driver of the Delhi-Bloomville stage. Young Lambert claims that the steering gear of the car went wrong, and caused the machine to turn turtle. The accident occurred near the watering trough on the state road, and after the accident, the machine was facing in the opposite direction from that in which it was headed. The car turned completely over and rolled over Mrs. Condon. Her gold spectacles were imbedded in her nose and face. Dr. C. R. Woods was called and had the injured women removed to the Neal hospital, where they are being cared for. The automobile was badly wrecked.

SHINHOPPLE MAN KILLED Maurice Fitch Struck by Lehigh Valley Train. Maurice Fitch, a former resident of Shinhopple, was killed at Catasauqua, Pa., Tuesday of last week. Mr. Fitch, who was 25 years of age, made his home with a sister, Mrs. James Finch, at Easton, Pa. He was a brakeman on the Lehigh Valley railroad. At the time of the accident his train had stopped on a curve on account of a hot box and Fitch was sent back with a flag to guard the rear of the train. While the train was waiting two freights and a fast passenger train passed in the opposite direction. The unfortunate man apparently had been struck by the pilot beam of one of these trains and was instantly killed. His skull was fractured and both hips broken. No one saw the accident. Catasauqua, where the accident occurred is twenty miles from Easton. The body was brought to East Branch where the funeral service was held Friday at o’clock, with burial at Long Flats. Mr. Fitch had been railroading for five years and for the past two years had worked on the Lehigh Valley at Easton. He is survived by his father, George W. Fitch, of Shinhopple; by eight brothers, Norman, Mark and Hilton, of Shinhopple, Roma of East Branch, Jason and Aubrey of Easton, Guy S. of Delhi and Clement in the army; and two sisters, Mrs. James Finch and Mrs. Floyd Hawkins of Easton, Pa.

DRIVE FORDS FROM BUFFALO Walton Men Report State Roads Damaged by Heavy Army Trucks. Floyd W. Parker, Fred Ganoung and Clinton D. Ostrom went to Buffalo Friday and arrived home Monday evenings with two Ford trucks and one touring car which they drove through from Buffalo. The Ford company has a big assembling plant in Buffalo. The manufactured parts are shipped by boat from Detroit to Buffalo and there assembled and the completed cars turned out at the rate of three a minute. The Walton men found agents from all sections of the country who has come to Buffalo to drive home cars to avoid the freight congestion. The men left Buffalo Saturday afternoon about 5 o’clock and reached Batavia that night. Sunday they drove to Elmira and arrived home on Monday evening. The worst piece of road was encountered between Unadilla and Walton and it took three hours to cover that distance. The men state that many army trucks are taking the route from Buffalo to New York and where they have passed the state roads have been badly torn up by their enormous weight. Near Batavia they passed an automobile hearse on the state highway that was mired to the hubs in a sink hole. In the Genesee valley extensive damage done by the recent floods was still visible. A part of eight from Delhi went to Buffalo Monday after Ford cars. The party consisted of Russell Archibald, Howard Graham, Dr. Lester Irvine, Harry Lambert, Vincent Barnes, Frank Thomson, Robert Oliver and Harrison Gray.

ABBE FLYNN WILL LECTURE Will Tell of Experience in Trenches in France. The Abbe P. Flynn is typical of the French patriot, who serves his God and country in this fearful struggle for democracy. Born in Paris of Irish parent, he has the sincerity of his forbears, and the earnestness that is characteristic of the French patriot. At the outbreak of the war, he was among the first to offer his service to his country. He has had 22 months of service in the trenches, witnessing the terrible battles of Arras, Ypres and Verdun. He delivers his lecture in a way not depressing, and brings to us a message full of interest. When we consider that the French government has sent him to acquaint the American people of the real conditions in war-ridden Europe, no other credential should be necessary. Governor Whitman said: “It is one of the most happy events of my life to have heard him.” In the first week of May the Abbe P.

Flynn is to lecture to the National Bankers Association of America at Washington. Show your interest in their boys, and our boys, who are united in the common cause of democracy, by your presence at this lecture, April 12th, in Walton hall at 7:45 in the evening. No admission. Voluntary collection will go to the Red Cross.

NEED RED CROSS WORK Women Asked Not to Let Other Tasks Interfere With This duty. Now, that spring has come, there seems to be a lack of Red Cross workers, both at the parish house and at the surgical dressings room. The demand for workers is greater now than any time since the war began. Walton chapter has been assigned a certain portion of this great work, and it is for the women of Walton to see it is done. Although this is a busy time for the housekeeper, if she is patriotic, with the best in-wishes to help the government in interests of our boys at heart, and this great struggle, she will not use house cleaning, spring sewing, etc. as a justified excuse for not giving a part of her time to this relief work, but will arrange for it as part of her regular work. Workers are greatly needed in the making of surgical dressings. We have been asked to increase this part of our work as the demand is greater than before. The surgical dressings room, in the bank building, is open every day to all workers. An instructor is always present to direct the work and instruct those who have not taken the regular course. All are welcome. Women, be loyal and plan to do some portion of this work every week.

JAIL EXCISE VIOLATIONS Brown Law Brings Guests to Sheriff Austin. The Brown excise law prohibiting the bringing of liquor into dry towns is helping Sheriff Austin fill the jail in Delhi. John Ulnick of Fish’s Eddy was taken to the county jail Friday by Officer LaFave, who arrested the man with some two gallons of liquor on his person. John Brockway of Kortright and Marcus O’Brien of Arkville are other men held in jail to await the action of the grand jury. Oneonta red-eye was their undoing.

NEW HANCOCK PRINCIPAL Harrison E. Williams of Hornell Engaged for Place. (From our Hancock cor.) Harrison E. Williams of Hornell, N. Y., has been engaged as principal of the Hancock high school in place of H.G. Shailer, who was compelled to resign on account of ill health. Mr. Williams was released from his school for the reason that Hancock was a much better school and he could land the job now, and if he waited until his school was out this position would probably have been taken, as Hancock had to have a principal at once. He will move his family to Hancock at once so as to be ready to commence his duties after Easter vacation, April 8th.

Daylight Saving Sunday. Daylight saving will commence with Easter Sunday, March 31, when the time of this nation will be set ahead one hour. Clocks should be set ahead Saturday night.

DO Safe Against Violence Program Assists Victims Victim blaming occurs when the victim of a crime or any wrongful act is held entirely or partially responsible for the offenses committed against them. Victim blaming occurs more often to victims of sexual assault, rape and domestic violence, as opposed to victims of other crimes, such as robbery. Some examples of victim blaming include statements such

as “She shouldn’t have been wearing that”; “they should have known better than to put themselves in that situation”; or “why didn’t they fight back?”. These types of responses may come from individuals and institutions from which the victim may seek assistance such as legal, medical and mental health systems as well as friends, family, community members and

SINCE 1966

the media. Victim blaming can make the victim feel wrong for reporting abuse which could result in them feeling insecure or uncomfortable reaching out for assistance. There are ways to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable for their crime: challenge victim-blaming statements when heard; let survivors know it is not their fault; hold abusers

accountable for their actions; acknowledge that the survivor is her/his own best expert; provide resources and support; communicate with sexual partners and never assume consent; be an active bystander - if you see something, say something. The Delaware Opportunities Safe Against Violence Program assists victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking and

other crimes and provides a 24-hour hotline, a confidential safe dwelling, crisis intervention, information and referrals, medical and legal advocacy and accompaniment, outreach education, preventive education and additional services which can be accessed by calling locally at 607-746-6278 or toll free at 1-866-457-7233.

Senator Seward Reads to RCS Students For Ag-Literacy Week By Rosie Cunningham ROXBURY - State Senator James Seward made it his mission Friday to emphasize the importance of both literacy and agriculture. Senator Seward took part in Cornell Cooperative Extension’s annual celebration of Agriculture Literacy Week by reading to second graders at Roxbury Central School (RCS), following a stop at Sidney Central. Inquisitive second graders answered questions regarding agriculture, literacy and Seward’s role as senator, before reading “Before We Eat: from farm to table,” by Pat Brisson. “Agriculture is a huge part of local economy and way of life so any time we can spread importance of ag among young people is important and positive,” Seward said. “And Ag literacy week encourages reading and agriculture among young students.” “Before We Eat: from farm to table” outlines not only the importance of farmers, but everyone in between - the packager, transporter, grocery store owner and employees, the consumer and the cook.

Leah Wormuth, left, Tru MacDowall, middle and Amaya Gaither, right, happily demonstrate what they learned about spinning plates from Andre Yanson, artist-instructor from the National Circus Project. During the week of March 1216, the National Circus Project hosted a workshop for Hancock after school students in grades kindergarten through nine. The National Circus Project is an arts-in-education group that promotes student participation in school arts and physical education activities, using “circus” as its theme. Students learn and practice physical fitness and motor skills through juggling, plate-spinning, “devil stick” manipulation, and balancing on stilts.

Unlike the skills needed for activities like playing football, most children do not have experience with circus-like activities. Exposing students to new skills encourages them to try new activities and become adventurous. The week began with an assembly featuring performers from the circus. Students were entertained as they learned some of the basic skills involved with the circus acts. After the assembly, members of the project spent time with the after-school

staff to teach skills to the students. The week ended with a performance featuring Hancock After School Participant’s with over 200 parents, grandparents and community members in attendance. The workshop was sponsored by the Hancock Community Education Foundation (HCEF) and was partially funded by the Arts Education Grant program, a local re-grant program of the Roxbury Arts Group. These grants are made possible with funds from the Decentralization program of the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The mission of HCEF is to provide educational support and encourage a greater percentage of students to go on to higher education. For the 2017-2018 school year, HCEF is grateful to be a recipient of a 21st Century Grant. Community Learning Centers provide enrichment opportunities during non-school hours that complement the programs offered by the Hancock school system. This grant has allowed the HCEF to expand its programs and reach more children. The after school programs for grades kindergarten through nine operate from 2:30 until 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the school year.

In addition to the written aspect, the class learned about public speaking and delivering a message in front of a group of people. Before the presentations, students worked with each other to practice speaking skills, giving feedback during mock presentations. Superintendent Roger Clough visited and took questions from the class about preparing for speaking in front of a group.

Future Food Farmers Share Their Knowledge With Younger Counterparts

A non-mandatory guitar class, offered by music teacher Mr. Erik Parry, proved to be successful at Townsend Elementary School in Walton. About 40 fourth and fifth grade students gave up recess for five guitar lessons. Part of Parry’s teaching philosophy is to provide his students with lifelong learning skills. He hopes students will become interested in playing a guitar and pursue

the activity outside of school, with private lessons or selflearning. “I think that being in a group like this teaches other skills rather than just learning the music itself,” Parry said. “Also, it is kind of neat to see students who aren’t in band or orchestra in this guitar ensemble. It’s just one more musical avenue that we can give them.”

Quote from Edmund Burke: “Patience will achieve more than force.” Sidney school is on spring recess from Monday, March 26, until Tuesday, April 3. Sunday, April 1 is Easter Sunday - have a great time with family and friends. The weather is getting better. When school resumes next week there will be Honor Society Tri-M inductions in the Sidney high school auditorium at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday April 5. The deadline to register for the May SAT tests is Friday, March 6. Here on the Farm we have been busy getting the information ready for the herd health records that have to be written and approved with the creamery as is necessary. We all hope that we

have done things right and everyone will be approved on their farms. There seems to be lots of bookwork to be done and kept in order these days, more for farmers to keep up with as well as creameries. Harold and I attended a Farm Crop Meeting this week with speakers to help farmers cope with the low milk prices and working out how to get their crops in this spring. We heard about soil reports, Corn Silage Hybrid Performance Trial Results, Understanding Your Forage Analysis, Dairy One - the Significance of Forage Analysis Results and Crop Rotation Strategy. We all learned how to move first year corn and short cycle hay crops in the trying weather conditions we have been having between dry seasons and wet seasons, and the Benefits of Crop Rotation. We also learned how to try to get the crow population under control with a new product that will

deter birds. Many farmers have trouble with the crows and other birds tearing up their corn fields and leaving them with no or just some plants left to grow, which is costly to farmers. I saw my first robin on our way to the meeting last week but have not seen any more since. Sympathy is extended to the family of Milt Curtis who passed away last week. Calling hours and funeral services were Friday March 23. Milt was active in the town of Masonville and surely will be missed.

starts with a discussion of how Delhi became the terminus of a branch line rather than a location on the main line of the railroad, followed by a look at the construction of the branch line and the kind of trains and traffic that provided service over the life of the railroad. Subsequent chapters provide a detailed view of each location along the Delhi Branch, from Colchester to Delhi, depicting the growth of businesses receiving freight via the railroad. The text within each chapter is designed to provide a sense of changes over different time periods. For more information, call 607-746-3849 or email dcha@ delhi.net.

All had a good time and Cathy was happy to have her once-ayear carrot cake. On Sunday, April 1, you should be able to find something to do as it’s Easter Sunday. Be careful, kids, as there might be an April Fools joke in your Easter Basket; first day of fishing (hope the water is warm enough for the fish to be biting) and April Fools Day (keep your eyes open for someone will be playing a joke on you). My thoughts of the week: Congratulations to the Delhi School Girl’s Basketball Team on winning the Class D State Championship game title. The Bulldog girls played the championship game against Franklinville Sunday at Hudson Valley Community College. The Delhi girls can be very proud of winning the first girls basketball state title for Delhi School. Now with basketball season over, the team will be losing six senior players. Coach Todd Bruce will be working to build another great team for next year. So again, Congratulations to all the D.A. Girls Basketball Team, you have worked hard for this title, you deserve it and we’re so very happy and proud of all of you. With Easter I think back to the days when our children were small. It took a lot of candy to fill Easter baskets and to hide candy for an egg hunt, so I tried making my own chocolate eggs. This is the recipe I used: Chocolate Easter Eggs: 3/4 cup chunky

peanut butter, 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened; 1 cup flaked coconut, 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, 1-1/2 to 2 cups confectioners sugar, divided, 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons shortening. In a mixing bowl, cream peanut butter and butter until well mixed. Fold in coconut, nuts and 1 cup conf. sugar, mix well. Sprinkle some of the remaining conf. sugar on a board, knead in enough of the remaining conf. sugar until mixture holds its shape when formed. Shape mixture into small egg-shaped pieces. Cover and chill for 1 hour. In small pan over hot water melt the chocolate chips and shortening, stirring until smooth. Dip the eggs in the chocolate to cover. Place on waxed paper to harden. Yield about 2 dozen eggs. Fun and Wacky Days: March 28 - Nathaniel Briggs patented the washing machine in 1797 and the city of Madrid fell to the forces of Franxisco Franco, ending the Spanish Civil War in 1939 and the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident occurred in Middletown, Pa. in 1979; March 29 is National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day; Ice jams stop the flow of water over Niagara Falls in 1848, Coca Cola is invented in 1886 and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are convicted of espionage in 1951. March 30, 1870, the 15th amendment goes into effect, giving black men the right to vote; its National Doctor’s Day, “I am in control Day,” Good Friday, and Jeopardy debuts on television in 1964. March 31 is World Backup Day, The Eiffel Tower opened in Paris, France in 1889. April 1, Oliver Pollack invented the dollar sign - $ - in 1778; Daytime soap opera General Hospital first aired on ABC in 1963; International Fun at Work Day. April 2 is Children’s Book Day, National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, and in 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act and the U.S. Mint was born. April 3, 1860, The Pony Express began delivering the mail; World Party Day. Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: A man checked into a rundown motel. The room is $18 a night. The manager said, “It’s $8 if you make your own bed.” “I can do that,” the man said. “Great, the manager said, I’ll get you some nails and wood.” When filling out an application, where it says “In case of emergency, notify,” I always write “Doctor.” A cute saying: Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come. Helpful Hint: When serving gravy with your meal, to keep the gravy hot put it in a ceramic teapot instead of in a traditional gravy boat. The lidded teapot keeps the gravy hotter than a gravy boat, and the spout makes for tidy pouring.

Spring is officially here. Hope to start to feel some warmer temperatures coming soon. It’s the game they can’t stop talking about - the Delaware Academy girls basketball team won the class D state championship game - an amazing game with an awesome result. Congratulations to the team and coaches for the hard work all season and bringing home a state championship for the Delaware Academy Bulldogs.

Garden Scene with

Looking At Spring Chores Most gardeners have finished the yearly pruning on fruit trees, blueberry bushes, and many shrubs. If you’ve been putting off the chore, there is still time. You will want to be finished with it before the sap moves up the branches. In most cases, one cannot over prune. Pruning stimulates new growth, helps keep growth habit under control, and is the best way to remove dead or damaged branches. Always prune just above a leaf bud, so that you don’t end up with a leafless branch tip. Keep sod and grass back from the trunks of fruit trees. Do not put wood chips or mulch up to the trunk. This can cause disease and borer problems. At least a foot of bare soil around the trunk base will be beneficial to the fruit tree. Make sure to have dormant oil on hand to spray on fruit trees and ornamental flowering crabapples. It is a benign oil, sometimes referred to as summer oil or horticultural oil. It is applied before trees bloom on a day when there will not be frost. Dormant oil helps suffocate pests that have wintered over on trees. Never spray anything when trees are in bloom. This could jeopardize the lives of pollinating insects. Early spring is an excellent time to add additional wood chips to the base of blueberry bushes. Wood chips will help keep moisture around the shrub and make it hard for weeds to establish close to the trunks. Blueberry are dependent on a consistently moist soil and do not like to have to compete with weeds for water. Blueberry bushes are one of the few plants that can have chips heaped up over the crowns.

Hamden Senior Citizens will meet for their luncheon meeting tomorrow, March 28, at noon at the Hamden Town Hall. The Hamden flag committee met Monday, March 19, to plan for a series of fundraisers to purchase flags attesting that baseball with a nine man team was played in Hamden in 1825 and has had several teams since then. Randy Gransbury and teammates Jack Pardee, Don Gibson, Rob Kaufman, Billy Thompson, Ed Jones, Johnny Jones and Jerry Shultis played from 1974-83. They wore blue and white uniforms and passed the hat amongst the fans to collect money to pay the umpire. This team was known as the Hamden Hawks and were Delaware County Baseball League Champions. Thanks to River Valley Ford

Turning Tragedy Into Triumph By Pastor Marv Root In three short years Jesus rose from obscurity as a small town carpenter to excited acclaim from the crowds of Judea. His teaching was amazing, His miracles captivating and His healing power restored and changed lives. Religious and political leaders watched Him suspiciously, challenged Him unsuccessfully and secretly conspired to have Him killed. One of His inner circle, Judas Iscariot, turned traitor, took a bribe from the power brokers and trapped Him in Gethsemane. A hastily called trial, truth twisted by false accusers and a trek to the cross for execution appeared to bring the hopes of His followers to a tumultuous end. Before sundown on that fateful Good Friday, Jesus lay dead in a borrowed tomb. The One who many believed was the promised Messiah, the very Son of God, died a criminal’s death. For them, it was the

world’s greatest tragedy! Imagine their shock to find the tomb empty early Sunday morning! Deep sorrow mingled with fear and suspicion as they wondered who had stolen His body. Picture their surprise to encounter their Risen Lord in the garden and late in their secret meeting place. Jesus lovingly reminded them of His promise to quickly return from death to lead them into abundant and everlasting life. He helped them recall His teaching that the Messiah – the Savior – must die in order to be lifted up so that people everywhere could believe in Him. When the reality of Jesus’ resurrection sank in to their minds and hearts through the promised presence and power of the Holy Spirit, which He gave them a few days later, they became the leadership core for the movement that “turned the world upside

down” within about thirty years. As the New Testament proclaims, history’s apparent greatest tragedy became the world’s greatest triumph. The Risen Christ still lives today in the hearts and lives of millions around the world. Daily His teaching and His miraculous power continue to change hearts, attitudes and lives. Ponder the invitation of the hymn writer, who penned, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.” “For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not die, but receive everlasting life.” John 3:16 Pastor Marv Root serves the Northfield Community Church and can be reached at 353-2443.

Fan in the Stands

After a recent occurrence at a local basketball game involving the Sheriff and a civilian, I believe it’s imperative to take the perspective of a concerned citizen involved in this matter. Should we be worried that the Sheriff or any officer not on duty, nor in uniform, or presenting himself as an officer can treat residents of this county as criminals and attack someone from behind? If an officer offduty is watching a high school basketball game and observes fans getting wound up, most of the public would expect him to address himself properly as an officer and speak to that person or persons that he believes is acting inappropriately, instead of putting his hands on that person and leaving noticeable marks on the individual’s neck. And to top it off, handcuff, arrest, and charge this individual with extremely serious charges. As citizens of this county we are very

concerned that someone who we expect to “protect and serve” us can get a free pass to treat someone this way. I am not the only one who’s extremely disgusted by the Sheriff’s unacceptable behavior and feel passionately that the residents of this county are aware of this as well. This could have happened to anyone, and that is a scary fact to accept. In small, tight-knit communities like ours, we need to look out for one another. Please keep events like this and the character of candidates into consideration at re-election time. KATHERINE SPARKES STAMFORD

Don’t Worry, Vote Early

I’m enthusiastic at the prospect of seeing New York join the 37 states that already provide access for early voters, especially now that the proposed legislation offers a minimal cost adaptation for low population counties like ours. To those who fear this will erode our rural tra-

dition of voting locally on election day: that tradition is here to stay. To those who suggest the current option of the absentee ballot: that choice offers an early vote only to those swearing they will be out of the county or who are physically unable to come to the polls, not to those who anticipate a personal or work-related barrier on election day. Governor Cuomo’s has set aside $7 million for his Democracy Agenda - a bold set of reforms to ensure elections remain free and transparent and to modernize New York’s antiquated voting system.

20 Area Winter Teams Earn State Scholar/Athlete Honors By Tom Coddington

LATHAM — The New York State Public High School Athletic Association has recognized 20 area teams with Scholar/Athlete honors. In the recently established awards for individuals, area teams had 211 qualifying players. Girls’ basketball had 10 of the teams — Delaware Academy, Walton, Deposit/Hancock, Sidney, BainbridgeGuilford, Afton, Franklin,

Roscoe/Livingston Manor, Downsville and South Kortright/Andes. Four teams won for boys’ basketball — Walton, Sidney, B-G and Charlotte Valley. B-G and Afton earned the laurels for girls’ bowling, and the other two honored teams were the Sidney/DA girls and B-G boys’ indoor track and field teams. B-G had 39 individuals including six from the B-G/ Afton/Harpursville wrestling squad. Sidney had 25 individuals, Walton 23, Deposit/

Hancock 23, DA 20, Afton and Afton/Harpursville 16, Downsville and CV 14 each, Franklin 13, Stamford 10, SK/ Andes eight, and Roscoe/LM six. To be recognized as a Scholar/Athlete team, 75 percent of the team’s roster is required when computing a team’s average (GPA), which must be 90 or greater. Student athletes with a GPA of 90 or greater are still recognized as Scholar/Athlete recipients, even if their teams did not qualify for a team award.

The Truth About Sports Scholarships By Bob Gardner, Executive Director of the National Federation of State High School Association and Robert Zayas, Executive Director of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. Many parents are trying to live the dream through their sons and daughters — the dream of landing a college athletic scholarship by specializing in a sport year-round. Unfortunately, most of those dreams are never realized. The odds of a sports scholarship paying for even a portion of a student’s college education are minuscule. The College Board, a not-forprofit organization, comprised of 6,000 of the world’s leading educational institutions, reports that a moderate cost for college students who attend university in their state in residence is $25,290 per year. The annual cost at a private college averages $50,900. Meanwhile, the most recent data from the NCAA reveals that the average Division I ath-

letic scholarship is worth only $10,400. More significantly, the same study shows that fewer than two percent of all high school athletes (one in 54) ever wear the uniform of a NCAA Division I school. Even if the dream is realized, parents likely will spend more money for club sports that they ever regain through college scholarships. Thanks to the costs of club fees, equipment, summer camps, playing out-of-state tournaments and private coaching, youth sports have become a $15 billion-per-year industry. There is an option, and it’s a financially viable one. Encourage your sons and daughters to play sports at their high schools. In education-based high school sports, student-athletes are taught, as the term implies, that grades come first. The reallive lessons that students experientially learn offer insights into leadership, overcoming adversity and mutual respect that cannot be learned anywhere else. Unlike club sports, coaches in an education-based school set-

ting are held accountable by the guiding principles and goals of their school districts, and the cost of participating in high school sports is minimal in most cases. While there is a belief that the only way to get noticed by college coaches is to play on nonschool travel teams year-round, many Division I football and basketball coaches recently have stated that they are committed to recruiting students who have played multiple sports within the high school setting. In addition, by focusing on academics while playing sports within the school setting, students can earn scholarships for academics and other talents — skillsets oftentimes nurtured while participating in high school activities. These scholarships are more accessible and worth more money than athletic scholarships. While $3 billion per year is available for athletic scholarships, more than $11 billion is awarded for academic scholarships and other financial assistance. Without a doubt, your sons and daughters will have more fun, make more friends, and be better prepared for life beyond sports by participating in multiple sports and activities offered by the high schools in your communities.

to improve on last years 5-17 season. The CV alum discussed the challenging transition from high school ball to college level softball. “Last season was pretty rocky to be honest,” she said. “It took a lot to adjust to playing at the college level. “In college, sports are more of a commitment than high school sports. As a commuter, I have to go back to practice after

Cod’s Corner By Tom Coddington

It really is a pleasure to have another state championship team in Delaware County! The Delaware Academy girls’ basketball team never gave up, and the comments from Coach Todd Bruce and Athletic Director Jeff Ferrara proved that. What a game! What a season! What a team! It was the fifth state title for the school. The DA girls’ cross country team claimed the first three in Class C, in 1978, 1979 and 1981, and the Bulldog football squad won in 2001, also in Class C. It is also the second state title this year for a Midstate Athletic Conference team, following Bainbridge-Guilford’s Class C volleyball squad, which was the first state crown at that school in any sport. Afton holds the most state titles in the area (10) — seven in softball, in 1985, 1987, 1995, 1996, 2001, 2002 and 2009; two for field hockey, in 1993 and 1999; and one for baseball in 1997. Sidney has also claimed five titles. The Warriors won boys’ basketball in 1979, 1998 and

SUNY Bronco goalie Eric Morse had 20 saves in a 10-4 loss at Cazenovia Saturday.

Talbert Scores Third Hat Trick of Season, Morse Saves 20 in Loss at Cazenovia CAZENOVIA – Despite Malik Talbert’s third hat trick of the season and a season-high 20 saves from goalie Eric Morse, SUNY Delhi men’s lacrosse suffered a 10-4 defeat at Cazenovia on Saturday for their second straight loss. The Broncos stand at 2-5 on the year. Talbert’s first goal of the day got Delhi on the board after the Wildcats scored twice to begin the contest. Talbert struck with 6:36 to play in the first quarter, assisted by Brendan Scheeler, to make the score 2-1. Cazenovia answered with two more scores before quarter’s end, but strong defense and four saves by Morse in the second quarter permitted a scoreless period to keep the score at 4-1 heading into halftime. Caz opened the second half with three straight goals to make the score 7-1 before Talbert again teamed up with Scheeler for his second score to cut the lead to five at 7-2

with 2:12 left in the third. The Wildcats and Broncos exchanged goals to end the period, including Scheeler getting his first goal and third point on the day, assisted by John Rohan III, with 1:21 left to cut the Wildcats’ lead to 8-3. In the fourth, Caz again scored to begin the period with two straight goals to close out its scoring. Talbert finished off the hat trick unassisted before game’s end, bringing his team-best season scoring total to 18 points on 12 goals and six assists. The Broncos were outshot, 4023, and won four face-offs to the Wildcats’ 13. Delhi forced Caz into 11 turnovers and converted on 6-of-7 clear attempts, while the Wildcats cleared 8-of-8 attempts. The Broncos grabbed 15 ground balls to the Wildcats’ 23. Coach Sam Miller’s team’s next challenge will be at SUNY Poly on Saturday, Mar. 31 at 1 p.m.

Forecast for April 1 Is Cold Weather and High Waters By Tom Coddington What will prevail on April 1, the opening day of the trout season? Chris VanMaaren, Region 4 fisheries manager at the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) office in Stamford, stated, “The forecast is for cold weather and high waters. Keep safety in mind if you are going out to fish and don’t worry if you don’t catch anything.” Asked about stocking, he noted, “It will probably be about the same as usual, the same places. We don’t say when we stock, that’s up to

the hatchery. If you are fishing before the stocking, it might be a good time to catch some of the fish that were stocked last year.” VanMaaren commented that a meeting in Hancock on March 13, dealt with a comprehensive fisheries plan to assess the current status of the wind trout fishery. He also spoke about a May 5 “Outdoor Expo” at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Walton. “There will be a free fishing day at the site, and people don’t have to have a license. It should be good for the kids,” he declared. DEC will supply tackle and bait.

to live, work and prosper in harmony with nature. Its board of trustees is made up of historians, writers, educators, business people, communications and legal professionals committed to sharing appreciation for Burroughs’ life and work. John Burroughs was a celebrated writer and naturalist, whose 27 books of nature and philosophical essays influenced millions of readers. He was born on April 3, 1837 and died March 29, 1921. He was buried in what is now John Burroughs Memorial Field, a state historic site just up the road from Woodchuck Lodge and within a mile of the farmstead where he was raised. The lodge was built in the early 1860s by his brother, Curtis.

DELAWARE COUNTY A company which looks to emphasize the beauty of the Catskills wants to make camping “dirt simple.” Tentrr, a reasonably new and innovative “glamping” model, is seeping its way into the Northeast and looks to expand to the west coast. Last Wednesday, there was a ribbon cutting in Oneonta, as the company has expanded and has established not only a warehouse in Otsego County, but Tentrr will also hire approximately 20 new employees locally. There are multiple “glamp sites” in Delaware County, which includes the Hobart, Andes and Kortright area, as well as Jefferson. The sites are beautifully established on private land. They consist of platforms along with a tent, bed, picnic tables, chairs and fire pits, ready-and-waiting for campers looking to relax and simply get away. The experience is both family- and pet-friendly and the goal is to make individuals feel refreshed and unwound. Visit www.tentrr.com for camper testimonials and to view the variety of campsites in Delaware County. During an open house Thursday, the CEO Michael D’Agostino and Oneonta Mayor Gary Herzig, welcomed attendees to the event following the ribbon cutting at the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce. “This is a very cool company,” said Herzig. “Tentrr is an innovative way of manufacturing with the new sharing economy. That’s the type of company we want in the Oneonta area - it is my pleasure to have you here.” D’Agostino said he founded Tentrr in 2015 and saw the method of private camping as a way to not only help the local economy but as a way for people to be outdoors and not have to go to a crowded campsite. During the first year that Tentrr was a business, 35 campsites were established. Today, 1,000 sites will cover the Northeast and the West Coast. The products used for the campsites are American made and will be constructed in the new, 20,000 square foot Oneonta facility. “Tentrr was born in the Catskills - we started out with this crazy idea that we could make camping and outdoor discovery dirt simple. Let’s reinvent the infrastructure of how to experience the great

outdoors because we thought it was a little bit broken. People from the city who live on top of each other come and go to camp sites and are top pf each other - just in a tent. We wanted to incorporate local land owners and help the rural economy as well. “My wife and I racked up 40,000 miles and we visited with many land owners, sitting in

living rooms to propose our Tentrr idea. We proposed that campsites be established on their property right next to their hay fields and many times, surprisingly, many people were for it. This became the birth of the company. Made in America is very important, but made in the Catskills is 10 times cooler to me.”

DEP Offers Fishing, Paddling at Reservoirs in the Catskills By Tom Coddington

Four New York City reservoirs — the Pepacton, Cannonsville, Schoharie and Neversink — have become the most popular places for recreational boating in recent years. Adam Bosch, director of public affairs for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection and Bureau of Water Supply (DEP), states, “Our rental boat program has really been growing in recent years, and while most people think of the program as a way to kayak and canoe, I think it’s important that people think of it as a way for shore-fishing anglers to reach some deeper water without buying, cleaning and maintaining a boat of their own.” Recreational boating has become one of the most popular activities on those reservoirs. Rental boats are making it easier for anyone to access the four reservoirs. Nearly 1,000 people rented boats from local businesses to paddle on the reservoirs in

2017, which is about three times the number than when the rental program started in 2014. Those who want to fish or paddle with rented kayaks and canoes must have a free DEP access permit, which can be obtained and printed from one’s home computer by going to www.nyc.gov/dep/access permit. The Catskill Watershed Corporation, which partners with the DEP, has up-to-date information for people to find local rental businesses on its website at www.cwconline.org/ reservoir-boating. Call ahead or visit the rental vendor’s website to make a rental reservation. Rental boats are stored at each reservoir on racks that are adjacent to the launch sites. All paddlers must wear life vests at all times. When paddling, renters can see great views of the surrounding mountains and waterfalls. Many paddlers also report seeing wildlife, including bald eagles, deer and an occasional black bear.

Spring Burn Ban Is Now in Effect The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has declared that the annual spring burn ban is in effect. It began on March 16, and will continue until May 14, and DEC will enforce it. For many people, the spring means sprucing up the property, inside and out. All debris can be bagged and bundled for pick-up, where available, or taken to a compost bin for eventual use in the garden. Burning garbage and leaves is prohibited year-round. Besides creating plumes of toxic and annoying smoke, outdoor yard and field fires are significant causes of uncontrolled wildfires. During the eight-year period since the ban was established, the average number of spring fires decreased by 36.7, from 2,649 in 2009 to 1,677 in 2016. The rising temperatures and changing winds of spring dry out forest debris, making it ex-

tremely flammable. An unattended fire can quickly begin to burn out of control, spreading to surrounding dry plant material and sparking a wildfire. Outdoor fires are the single largest cause of spring wildfires in the state. To prevent a wildfire DEC recommends: • Never leave a campfire unattended; • Be sure you check to see if it is safe to burn, on the New York State Fire Danger Rating map on the website; • Follow your local fire ordinances; • Respect the annual ban; • Learn what to burn and what not to burn. Violators can face potential criminal and civil enforcement actions, and a minimum fine of $500 for a first offense. To report environmental law violations, call 844-332-3267 or report it on the DEC website.

Glen Brian Oliver

Gilbert Williams died March 21, 2018. He was born July 20, 1930, in Queens County. He graduated from Woodrow Wilson high school and attended Farmingdale SUNY night division. He worked for several concerns as a tool and die maker for 45 years. In the 60s and 70s he was involved in the Trade Union Movement and was a Joint Council Member with Local 365 U.A.W. When a teenager he spent summers working on a dairy farm at Hobart. When he retired he returned to the land he learned to love as a boy, Delaware County. He told friends on Long Island “Delaware County is a place where, when God created the Earth, he spent a little extra time.” He was an active Christian in his lifetime. He was an elder and deacon at the Hillside Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, an executive board member at the Evangelical Covenant Church in E. Northport and a faithful member of Walton First Baptist Church for many years. He was active in the Queens County Protestant Church, basketball, softball and bowling leagues. He was a scoutmaster, a little league manager and was active in historical organizations. He was with the Walton Fire Department and Walton Chamber of Commerce. He is now absent in the body and present with the Lord. Gil leaves his beloved wife of 60 years, Joan, (nee Skaar); daughter, Holly, from Cosby, Tenn.; daughter Cynthia, East Northport; son, David from Jefferson City, Mo.; daughter Dawn from Ridge, Long Island, and a daughter Darlene from of Jefferson Township, Pa. He often said, “These five kids were the best gift Joan ever gave me.” They in turn gave him 12 precious grandchildren. A memorial service and reception will be held Saturday, March 31, at 10:30 a.m. at Hens’ Nest Party Hall, 241 Lake Spangenberg Road, Mt. Cobb, Pa. For more information call Darlene Murphy at 631-7426288.

Glen Brian (Brian) Oliver was born Jan. 27, 1956, in Delhi, son of Ralph (Bill) and Corinne (Corky) Oliver. He attended Delaware Academy in Delhi with his seven siblings where he excelled in sports including football, basketball, track and canoeing. He attended SUNY Delhi where he continued playing sports both on the college basketball team, and semi-pro football for the Oneonta Indians. He went on to graduate from Clarkson University with a BS in Industrial Distribution. Brian rebuilt an old family VW Bus which he then drove to California to find his fortune and had two beautiful daughters there. He married his wife Yoko in Tahiti. He loved working with his hands and ended his varied career in Reno where he was refurbishing homes for rentals. Brian is survived by his wife Yoko, his stepdaughter, Elizabeth, and his two daughters, Amanda (Ian) and Jessica (Brian), and three grandchildren, Hunter, Halle and Alexa. He is also survived by his brothers Dennis (Erwin), Kevin (Cynthia), Wayne (Debbie), Michael (Susan), Jeff (Kate), and sister Michele as well his parents Bill and Corky. Brian also has numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his brother Keith (Lori). He was a Delaware County, New York, country boy at heart and loved sharing vivid memories from his youth with which he entertained family and friends. He was proud to be a charter member of the Peakes Brook Militia and enjoyed returning for the Fourth of July festivities each summer. He had an entrepreneurial problem-solving mindset, always looking for a better way to accomplish a task. Brian left this world on March 22, 2018, in Reno, Nevada, after a short battle with leukemia.
