Del. Co. BOS Approves Mobile Unit To Serve Child Victims

$1.00

Reopening and Relocation Celebration...

Multiple Supervisors Share Reservations

By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - The Delaware County Board of Supervisors voted on a vehicle which is projected to serve child victims of physical or sexual abuse.

A task force comprised of various agencies representing the Delaware County Child Advocacy Center (CAC) attended the Delaware County Board of Supervisors meeting Wednesday, May 8, urging the supervisors to approve and accept state funds to operate the mobile service center. Delaware County was one of six of New York’s rural counties to be awarded state funds in December for the establishment of a mobile CAC. Each county was awarded $250,000 for the purchase of a mobile unit, as well as $50,000 a year for three years for maintenance and operation costs.

The task force consists of employees from Delaware County Social Services, mental health services, the drug abuse counsel, two state troopers, Delaware County District Attorney John Hubbard, Executive Director of Delaware Opportunities Dr. Shelly Bartow, Stacey Osborn, the director of the Safe Against Violence program at Delaware

Opportunities, as well as representatives from additional agencies.

Delaware County Commissioner of Social Services Dana Scuderi-Hunter introduced the Delaware County Department of Social Services Staff Development Coordinator Trish Tyrell, who outlined the process of how the mobile service center will be used and how it will serve the children in the county.

Scuderi-Hunter said since January of 2018, the “team” has met monthly regarding physical and sexual abuse of children in the county.

“We utilize this team to provide services and we were told that we have been awarded a custom-built mobile crisis unit to provide vital services to children and families at no extra cost to the county,” she said.

Tyrell discussed trauma and the impact it can have on children who are the county’s future adults.

She said that one of the most challenging things for a child who has been abused is sharing their story over and over again, and the mobile unit will streamline the interviewing process and be more efficient.

Head Start Prepares Hundreds Of Children For Kindergarten

By Rosie Cunningham HAMDEN - The Head Start Program makes sure children are ready for kindergarten.

Head Start assists in the transition to school by meeting with the children’s families, and provides backpacks and supplies that the schools either expect or require the children to have to be ready for the first day of school.

“The assistance that is received from individuals, businesses and communities helps the Head Start program offset costs of supporting the families so that they are not financially compromised in the acquisition of the backpacks and supplies their children need to enter school,” said Head Start Children’s Services Manager Chelsea Johnson.

“The Head Start program assists the children and families in preparation for school by providing activities in the classroom, going on field trips and inviting key staff from the schools to visit the Head Start children to share what is expected when they enter kindergarten.”

Johnson said individuals can assist and donate in a variety of ways.

“Supplies and materials could be purchased and delivered directly to our Delaware Opportunities office and we will put the items together to be given out to the lead teachers when the backpack and supplies are complete,” said Johnson.

“Typically, the lead teachers meet with parents and children in August prior to the children entering school.”

Johnson said there are approximately 125 children that transition into kindergarten annually.

“We typically try to get backpacks that get the children excited about starting school,” she said.

In 1965, the federal government initiated the Head Start program as a comprehensive child and family development program. The tenet was to promote positive school

Healthcare Act For Those Who Have Served Will Be Implemented in June Will Allow More Options and Input From Veterans

By Rosie Cunningham DELAWARE COUNTY - The implementation of the Mission Act will improve the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system for the benefit of the nation’s veterans.

According to Delaware County Director & Veterans Service Officer Charles Piper, the act will be established on June 6.

The bill consolidates VA’s multiple community care programs and authorities and provides further funding for the Choice Program which was established in 2014. It would establish an Asset and Infrastructure Review (AIR) process to recommend actions to modernize and realign VA’s massive medical infrastructure and also expands VA’s Family Caregiver Program to pre-9/11 veterans and increases VA’s internal capacity to care for veteran patients in VA medical facilities through

improvements to various recruitment and retention programs.

Through the program, veterans who are enrolled in the VA healthcare system or otherwise entitled to VA care would be granted access to care in the community or a Community Care Network (CCN). Access to community care would be required under the program if VA does not offer the care or services the veteran requires, if VA does not operate a full-service medical facility in the state in which a given veteran resides, if a given veteran was eligible for care in the community under the Choice 40-mile rule and meets certain other criteria, or if a given veteran and the referring clinician agree that furnishing care in the community is in the best medical interest of the veteran after considering certain criteria.

Access to community care would also be required if VA is not able to furnish care within designated

access standards developed by VA after consultation with certain other entities and published in the Federal Register and on VA’s website. Care may be authorized in the community if a given medical service line within a VA facility fails to meet certain VA quality standards developed by VA or if veterans in need of an organ or bone marrow transplant have a medically compelling reason to travel outside the region of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network.

Additionally, eligible veterans will be authorized two visits per calendar year at participating walk-in or federally-qualified healthcare clinics.

“I am happy with the changes and improvements,” said Piper.

Piper said the Mission Act is an improved version of the Veterans Choice Program which is what veterans are currently being offered.

Last year, 32,000 pounds of milk was produced at the fair.

“We generally range from 30,000 to 35,000 pounds of milk each year,” said Rossley.

The board members are currently seeking other avenues for market. He has been in contact

4 Vie for 3 Walton Board of Education Seats

3

Proposed 2019-20 Tax Levy Increase 2%, Public Vote May 21

By Lillian Browne WALTON - Four candidates for the Walton Central School Board of Education - Marilynn Lewis, Kevin Charles, Mirranda MacDonald and Dotti Howe - participated in a ‘Meet the Candidates’ forum, sponsored by the Walton Parent Teachers Student Association (PTSA) on Monday, May 13.

Approximately 45 people attended the event where candidates answered questions from the public on a rotating basis.

Incumbent Marilynn Lewis said she is running for another term because she does not feel that her work on the board is finished. There are things that she would like to see completed, she said in her opening remarks; and, she said, “We are on a good course now and I’m very happy to serve again.”

Kevin Charles, an incumbent, is also seeking a second term as a board of education member.

During his first term, he said, the board has “made good headway, despite some emotional ups and downs.” He would like to “keep pushing forward,” if reelected, he said.

Mirranda MacDonald said she is running for a seat on the board because the focus of the board of education needs to come back to students, teachers, staff and community members. “Our students deserve a quality education,” MacDonald said. “Our teachers deserve a contract and to be heard without fear.” Community members, MacDonald continued, deserve transparency with regard to how tax dollars are being spent.

Dotti Howe is interested in a position on the board, she said, because she specializes in school issues and is concerned that there is no management within the school district. “I think we are going to be losing some more administrators by the end of this school year,” Howe said, “And without management there isn’t any direction.”

Lewis is motivated to serve as a board member, she said, because she wants to see the school “as good as it was” when she graduated; and, she continued “I think we are on the right path to get there.”

Charles said he is supportive of the talented staff in the district and would like to see the board continue supporting change. He has a vested interest in the district, having children/students in the district, he said.

MacDonald said the success

Candidates for the Walton Central School District Board of Education, from left, Dotti Howe, Mirranda MacDonald, Kevin Charles and Marilyn Lewis. of students is her main focus and credited prior administrators with creating opportunities for student success. She is committed to keeping special education services within the district and “not vetted out” and to keep summer school funded.

Howe said the students, the teachers and the community-atlarge is her priority. She would like to support the board in understanding special education in the elementary school. “I think Walton has one of the best special education programs,” she said. When there are financial shortfalls, special education services are the first to go, in addition to programs like music and art, Howe continued. Her priority, she said, is supporting the whole child, not just the academics.

In response to the question, “How do you plan to increase transparency between the board and the public?” the candidates varied in their answers.

Howe said if people have questions they should ask board members, at a board meeting and not necessarily on social media.

Lewis said the current board has been very transparent. She’s received feedback, she said, that this year’s budget proposal information, mailed out to district voters, residents and taxpayers, has been easier to understand than in previous years. Speaking on behalf of the current board of education, Lewis said, if there is a question from the public that can be answered, it will be answered.

Charles said he was unsure how transparency could be improved because he felt the board is already transparent. There is some information that the board of education is prohibited from sharing due to confidentially requirements, he said. “I know a lot of times the public would like to

have that information, but you just can’t share it.”

There is no instance that he is aware of, he said, where the board of education has denied someone information that they are entitled to.

MacDonald disagreed saying that the current board of education is not transparent. Not everyone can attend a board meeting, MacDonald said, and when questions are asked they are often answered, “We can’t answer that.”

MacDonald also criticized an aspect of hiring and interviewing for the administrative team. A candidate for the administrative team was interviewed for more than 11 hours, and later declined the position. “The board of education hires the superintendent and the superintendent hires the administrative team,” she said of the way she feels the hiring process should work.

A committee interview system is used which allows input from various district users, Lewis said.

Howe said that input from others is great, but committees should not be part of the interview process. The district is paying the interim superintendent $650 per day and that is an indication that the board of education has faith in him to hire appropriate staff.

“That’s what he specializes in,” Howe said, “and I would leave it to him.”

Candidates responded to a concern from a district voter about the current lack of administrators, including the lack of a permanent superintendent.

Charles said the district is doing everything it can to fill the vacant positions. However, he said, presented with the same facts and data, he would have made the same decision he did previously. “It’s not personal. You need to remove names and look at data.”

MacDonald said that though she did not see that data that the current board saw in order to make the decision to suspend former the superintendent (Roger Clough), she did see the seven-page document issued by the arbitrator that said there was not enough evidence for a case against Clough. “I do think it was a little bit personal and I don’t think the other administrators leaving was coincidental,” MacDonald continued. However, she said, the community needs to put the incident behind them and move forward. “We need to close that chapter, move on and focus on students, taxpayers, teachers and staff.”

Globally, Howe said, she believes employers are quick to terminate employees. Employers have gotten away from having conversations to see if situations can be fixed, she said.

“I don’t have any regrets about what happened,” Lewis said. “I did what my heart told me to do.” The decision (to suspend Clough) was made by the entire board, Lewis continued, not by one board member.

In order to re-establish stability in the district, a superintendent needs to be hired, MacDonald said. “We cannot keep having interims,” she said.

Howe said it is going to be difficult to hire administrators for the Walton School District. There needs to be corrective action in how people are treated - both within the district and on social media. “I don’t think people realize what they’ve done to this school,” Howe said. Prospective employers and employees use social media for information gathering and often base decisions on that information. “A lot of damage has been done.”

Lewis said stability will be re-

established by the people who are currently employed in the district and praised Interim Superintendent Larry Thomas for putting the district on the path to stability.

Charles said in order to bring stability to the district everyone needs to respect one another, from the board member level through the staff level. Consistency is key, he said. Though they are hopeful that new administrators will be hired before July, it seems unlikely, the candidates agreed. * An archived video of the ‘Meet the Candidates’ event (in its entirety) can be viewed on The Reporter’s Facebook page.

The Proposed Budget The proposed 2019-20 budget reflects a 4.22 percent increase in spending which will result in a 2 percent increase in taxes. Sixtyfour percent of the proposed budget will be funded by state aid, while 30.7 percent will be funded by district taxpayers.

Proposed total spending of $21,745,814 is $881,207 higher than last year’s budget of $20,864,607.

Notable increases include $134,670 in the administrative salary line items; $280,297 in employee benefits; $87,552 in pupil transportation and $200,432 in the “instruction” line.

To offset the budget, $717,767 will be taken from the fund balance, or unspent money from last year’s budget. The same amount was used to offset the budget in 2018-19.

The district is predicting a 10.22 percent increase, or $39,449, in undisclosed or “other” revenue in the proposed budget, which will further offset the budget.

The current board of education is also asking voters to approve an $8 million capital reserve fund; to lease three new school buses at a cost of $56,100 per year for five years and increase the Ogden Free Library’s budget by $1,831 to a total of $123,916.

The capital reserve fund is to be used for repairs, construction and purchase of equipment and to be sourced from non-designated fund balance from the general fund, state aid, interest income or any other lawful source.

Walton Central School District qualified voters will vote on the proposed budget and propositions and for three board of education members at the Walton Central School Bus Garage, Delaware Street, Walton, on Tuesday, May 21 from noon to 9 p.m.

Car Seat Safety Event At DVH

Delaware County Public Health will hold a free car seat safety event at Delaware Valley Hospital (DVH), 1 Titus Place, Walton, from 12 noon -2 p.m. on Sunday, May 19. Statistics show that 75 percent of children are riding in car seats that are not properly installed or do not fit correctly. Parents and caregivers can have their child’s car seat checked at no cost by certified child safety seat technicians This event will educate parents and caregivers on proper car seat installation and use. Car seats which do not meet the Federal Motor Safety Standard may be replaced. Be sure to bring your child/children to the event; expectant parents are welcome as

well. According to the Center for Disease Control, motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death among children under the age of 13 in the United States, but many of these deaths can be prevented. Placing children in age- and size-appropriate car

seats and booster seats reduces serious and fatal injuries by more than half.

The CAC will have observation and waiting areas. Tyrell said the CAC will transport victims to locations and points near the homes of children of instances of abuse.

Tyrell said they have location points in mind, and although discretion is a concern, it is not more important than the wellbeing of a child.

A panel from multiple agencies discussed a mobile service center at the Delaware County Board of Supervisors meeting.

“One in four girls get abused in their lifetime, and one in six boys,” said Tyrell.

In 2018, 56 sexual abuse cases were handled in the county, said Tyrell, who added the number is not an “accurate” number because one case could involve multiple children and victims living in the same house.

Tyrell said there are more than 900 [mobile] units throughout the country.

Tyrell said currently, once a case of abuse is reported, a team is deployed and the victim and non-offending family members are picked up and transported to CACs in other counties - such as Chenango, Broome and Otsego.

The use of a facility in another county is subject to availability and Delaware County residents are not a priority in those CACs. Tyrell added that it can take hours to transport the family and children and by the time the victims are situated, they may not want to share their stories or they may simply be too tired, in the case of young children.

Tyrell emphasized that the “gift” of the mobile unit will save resources and travel time.

“If we invest in the well-being of youth now, it will pay off later,” she said.

“If it helps one kid, then it has done its job,” said Andes Town Supervisor Bud Gladstone.

“It’s meant to be a service for us to get to them when they can’t get to us,” Tyrell said.

“We have looked into every possible option for a permanent location,” said Hamden Supervisor Wayne Marshfield, who is the chair of the social services committee.

The board was asked to vote on accepting the funds - Supervisor Merrill voted “no” as did Deposit Supervisor Thomas Axtell, Harpersfield Supervisor Jim Eisel, Supervisor Davis, Tompkins Supervisor William Layton, Supervisor Ellis, Bovina Supervisor Tina Mole and Delhi Supervisor Mark Tuthill.

Despite multiple supervisors voting “no,” the resolution to accept the funding passed 2,903 to 1,765 weighted votes.

In other business, the board approved a public hearing for a pay increase for Delaware County District Attorney John Hubbard. If approved, Hubbard’s salary will increase to $200,400 per annum. If approved on May 22, the pay raise will go into effect after 45 days as it is subject to a referendum.

There will be a public hearing regarding the establishment of the Delaware County Public Defender’s office on May 22 at 12:45 p.m. at 111 Main Street in the board of supervisors’ room.

The board remembered and shared fond memories of former Franklin Supervisor Donald Smith, 82, who died on May 5.

“The thought process was there,” he said of the Choice Program. “There was good input, but the VA made it difficult to enact.”

Piper said in the Choice program mileage and isolation is an issue for rural veterans and that there were limited options for healthcare.

“We welcome them home from a war environment and when they need medical care we give them limited options which are sometimes not feasible. There are healthcare programs that veterans can utilize at the VA in Albany but there needs to be better options for immediate healthcare - such as a for veteran who suffers from PTSD and is thinking about suicide - he or she needs help immediately and can’t wait to go to the VA.” Piper said community care

generally must be authorized in advance by the VA but there are exceptions. However, this requirement does not apply to urgent care or walk-ins.

Piper said the Mission Act’s number-one role is to establish the community care program, to modernize and give veterans input.

Piper said many veterans come to his office and they understand the process but are often stumped with the paperwork that is required.

“Our office is here to help,” he said.

The Delaware County Veterans Services office is located at 1 Gallant Avenue, Highway Annex, Suite A, Delhi. For further information, call veterans services at 607-832-5345.

Stamford Town Board Accepts Grant, Discusses Improvements

By Rosie Cunningham STAMFORD - Securing a grant for a sausage festival and the purchase of an enhanced business system topped the agenda at the Stamford Town Board meeting Wednesday.

The Stamford Rotary Club applied for a O’Connor Foundation grant on behalf of the town for funds for the Sausage Festival.

The board approved the acceptance of the $1,000 for a sausage festival which will also feature craft beer, music, vendors and

more. The event will be hosted by the rotary club as well as the Hobart Fire Department and held in the park behind the town hall on Maple Avenue on Aug. 24.

Stamford Supervisor Mike Triolo discussed a county program which involves the purchasing of an enhanced business system for the town hall. The board approved the purchase of a $6,895 system which will do the town books, the payroll, tax deductions and more. The purchase also includes training and a new desktop computer. Triolo said the system is not complicated

and the best one out of the three demonstrations he attended.

In other business, residents on Rich Road in the town of Stamford asked if proper protocol was practiced in erecting a sign and speed limit.

The couple asked why the new sign was established in the first place.

Highway Superintendent Jonathan Ballard said there are children who reside on the road and multiple trucks drive too fast.

The residents said the speed limit is only posted in one direction on the road and the highway department said they would make sure both sides are displayed.

Ballard said he wants to sell the Blizzard snow plow on the 2005 Chevy.

“It’s in good condition and I would like to put the minimum bid in the paper,” he said. “You would need a new push frame for it and I would take 41,500 for it.”

The board approved the suggestion.

Councilman Dan Deysenroth, and Rod Hillis were appointed to the negotiating committee along with supervisor Triolo.

Stamford Town Board meetings take place the second Wednesdays of each month at 7 p.m.

Weather Words With Frank Ward Summary - May 5-12; Outlook - Week of May 13

Patty Lollot/The Reporter

Looking Green in the Greenhouse. Seedlings get a good start in the greenhouse at the Birdsong Farm Community Garden. Pictured from left to right are Elizabeth Kaden, Mary and Marty Conklin, Carla Hegeman-Crim and Kathy Beveridge.

Concept of a Community Garden Fosters Food and Friendship

By Patty Lollot DELHI-- “People become instant friends through gardening,” said Carla Hegeman-Crim, a horticulture and natural resource educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension.

Crim was referring to the camaraderie enjoyed by the volunteer gardeners who come in shifts each week to Birdsong Farm to plant, nurture and harvest the fruit and vegetables they help produce. Now in its second year, the Community Garden, as it is called, has a thriving list of crops as well as gardeners who learn, participate and enjoy not only each other and the harvest, but the surrounding environment.

Situated on the Birdsong Farm estate, earmarked by expansive stone walls and structures as well as black board fencing reminiscent of Thoroughbred horse farms, its owners, the Lamson family, has partnered with Cooperative Extension through a grant.

“The project is 100 percent financed by Mr. Lamson,” noted Crimm as she walked through the large raised beds, surrounded by sturdy mesh fencing. “He came to Cooperative Extension with a great idea to get people come together and work on the gardens and share in the harvest.”

The idea appealed to both Cooperative Extension, who agreed to oversee the operation, and the local residents who volunteered.

According to Crim, last year a dozen people came to the garden. There were retirees, young couples and families. Some, said Crim, found that deer had destroyed their gardens; others liked the idea of gardening with like-minded friends, the flexibility and the opportunity to learn growing techniques from some volunteer master gardeners who serve as supervisors. This year there are more volunteers expected as word of the project spreads.

Based upon bio-intensive practices that began in China thousands of years ago, the farm’s literature explains that the practice “centers around nutrient rich soil that can support growing crops closer together, reducing the amount of resources and hands-on labor required. It incorporates compost, livestock, beneficial insectaries, and strives toward a closed-loop system on a homestead, whatever the size.”

In Crim’s words, “You can grow a lot of food in little space.”

At present, a couple of hundred square feet include a greenhouse for starting seedlings, the many raised beds to transplant the seedlings, an area to start beekeeping, a mushroom shed, composting bins and a storage shed. Expansion of the project includes the construction of a studio for floral art and design as well as the growing area for floral plants.

Crim continued, noting that raised beds provide easy access, better organization and yield.

Growing practices are pesticide free, using companion plants such as marigolds to thwart pests. It’s more difficult, but safer and healthier, noted Crim.

Crop practices include rotation, early plantings of vegetables such as kale and lettuce and later planting of summer vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant and squash.

Last year’s crop yield was taken by the volunteers, but since so much more is expected this year, Crim said “This year’s overage will be sold at the Walton Farmers’ Market on Fridays from 10 to 2.” The proceeds will go back into garden projects.

At present there are 15 volunteers who participate. “On Mondays it’s mainly retirees and on Thursdays, it’s mostly couples and singles,” noted Crim. Some say they like sharing with the community and others said they “enjoy playing in the dirt.”

Another, Mary Conklin said, “I learned all the things I did wrong over the years!”

(Orientation sessions are scheduled for May 23 from 6 to 7 p.m. and May 24 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Hamden, 607-8656531. More information can be found on Birdsong Farm Community Garden’s Facebook page).

It was an interesting week and for most of us we got lucky.

The big storm Friday hit northwest of us and we missed most of it. North of Oneonta heavy rain, hail, winds of 40-60 mph and tornado workings. For Walton, one-tenth of an inch of rain and a little windy. I’ll take it. Overall, though, we can’t seem to put together two completely dry days. This past Friday it hit 75 degrees, that’s 10 degrees above normal. Tuesday, 70 degrees, Monday 69 degrees, so temperatures were above and over the week, a half inch - that doesn’t count what fell Sunday three-quarters of an inch, and Monday.

Now the bad news. Until Friday, we’ll be below normal for temperature. Sunday through Thursday maybe we’ll be lucky to get to 50, and 50 will be 15 degrees below normal. So find the coat and sweatshirts and a hat.

Back to 60s Friday, Saturday and Sunday. After Monday, it will also be a little drier.

Hummingbirds came back Saturday - they usually arrive when the apple trees bloom - and lots of songbirds. All we need now is for nature to straighten things out.

Remember to call 607-865-7837 for announcements or The Reporter and I’ll do my best to get in on the air. Also, any questions about the weather.

Head Start... continued from front page readiness coupled with parent involvement preparing the children and families to enter the school system with knowledge and experiences in social services, health, nutrition, support in the area of referrals for the children with disabilities and to provide both the children and families with the resources and skills necessary to transition.

The Delaware Opportunities Head Start program began in 1966 with a small, six-week summer program. It has grown substantially and continues to expand in response to the needs of families and children throughout Delaware County.

“We currently serve 203 children and their families,” said Johnson.

Delaware Opportunities has been transitioning families with backpacks and supplies for approximately 20 years.

“We typically write to businesses and church congregations in the communities where centers are located, which is Arkville, Davenport, Delhi, Deposit, Fishs Eddy, Franklin, Grand Gorge, Sidney and Walton,” said Johnson. “Last year, we received some donations from the businesses and communities; however, not enough to purchase all we needed. We feel very strongly about assisting families with the financial burden that school supplies could cost; therefore we always make sure that we can assist in supplying the materials needed.

Typically, monies are used to purchase backpacks from either a store or online and the supplies that we put in the backpacks are purchased through our school supply vendors.”

To donate by check, write in the amount of the donation sent to Delaware Opportunities Inc., the Head Start Program, so the fiscal department knows that the monies are specifically for transition supplies.

DA Student Addresses Mental Health, Addiction

Scouts Commemorate Graves of Veterans With American Flags ...

En Route To Earning Eagle Scout Merit Badge

By Rosie Cunningham

DELHI - A Delaware Academy (DA) senior is one step closer to earning the highest rank in Boy Scouting and will soon become an Eagle Scout.

En route to earning the Eagle Scout award, Mike Paoli arranged a mental health awareness fair at his school on May 1 for grades 6-12.

The 17-year-old also arranged a screening of locally filmed movie called Smacked: Heroin Addiction In Rural America, with a panel of guests for questions and answers afterwards.

“I think a lot of the time mental health and substance abuse goes hand-in-hand,” said Paoli.

“There is a lot of drug use among students my age and even younger - not just at DA, but everywhere. I’ve seen it firsthand and it is rough, not just for the victims, but it breaks families apart.”

Paoli said he believes a lot of youth suffers from issues pertaining to mental health and he believes it is a great thing to have and know, what resources are available.

He invited pertinent organizations to attend the mental health fair which he believes was well received. Some of the resources included the Mobile Crisis Assessment Team (MCAT) and Safe Against Violence (Delaware Opportunities). Representatives from Bassett Healthcare Network attended, local therapists, the New York State Police and even a chiropractor.

“Physical health definitely relates to mental health,” said Paoli.

Paoli was born and raised in Delhi and is the son of Leeanne and Mike Paoli. He has been a Scout since he was five years old (Cub Scout Troop 33 in Delhi).

Following graduation, he will

He said there are many things he has enjoyed over the years about being a Scout.

“I like the camaraderie and learning new skills that are lifeapplicable,” he said. “I also enjoy being outdoors. My biggest takeaway is that you learn people skills.”

Paoli also learned about networking. He earned a job as a camp counselor at Henderson Scout Reservation in Maryland, an opportunity which landed him another job at a 4-H Camp.

He said earning badges along the way helped him grow and learn life lessons, too.

“I learned how to manage money and about finances, personal fitness, cooking and I earned citizens badges,” he said.

“I learned about our country and others.”

Just steps away from officially becoming an Eagle Scout, Paoli said he is “looking forward to it.”

“I’ve always wanted it,” he said.

“It’s been a goal of mine and once I get it, it will be a weight off of my shoulders.”

O’Connor Hospital Staff Raises $400 For Humane Society

By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - O’Connor Hospital sponsored a pet adoption day and raised $400 for Heart of the Catskills Humane Society (HCHS) on May 8, at the entrance to the hospital’s fitness trail.

According to HCHS director Deb Crute, this is the first year the event took place.

“O’Connor Hospital approached us and we were thrilled,” she said.

Employees visited several dogs and cats brought by volunteers of the humane society to the event.

Several patients were also able to attend the event as well. In conjunction with the pet adoption event, hospital staff organized a hot dog roast which raised $400 for HCHS. “It was wonderful,” said Crute of the event. “The weather was great and one of the three dogs we brought got adopted.”

The director said she hopes the event takes place

Franklin Town Council Memorializes Late Supervisor; Considers 3 Options For New Space

By Sara Andros The town of Franklin board meeting on May 7 began on a somber note with a moment of silence for Donald M. Smith, who passed away earlier in the week.

Smith was a fixture in the community and served as a board member and town supervisor during his 35 years of leadership in the town. His son, Town Councilman Donald T. Smith said in lieu of flowers, people wishing to make donations should make them to the town‘s Ouleout Cemetery sidewalk fund or to the Delaware County Holstein Club.

David Ohman and John Peterson gave a presentation on three possible building options for the 202 Main Street property; the town board hopes to use the property to house offices and a courtroom. Option One involves using the existing parcel and structure with some demolition in order to allow for a bathroom and parking lot. The court and offices would be located in the

existing rooms which comprise approximately 1200 square feet of space. A new septic system would be installed.

Option Two would put an addition on the back of the existing structure that would double the space. The court would be located in the back of the building and the offices would be in the front.

A lot of work needs to be done to bring the old building up to code.

The Option Three is to demolish the old building and construct a new building. Ohman said that this option comes the closest to giving the town what it needs. Parking would be located in the front of the building and the side that faces the road would be made to fit the historical design of neighborhood houses.

There would not be as many unknowns with a new structure, and it would be more energy efficient. The board and engineers will meet with code enforcement officer Mark Jacobs to discuss the three options.

In other business: • David Tuthill representing

the A.L. Kellogg Foundation in Treadwell gave the board an update on the foundation funds.

The accounts total a little over $1 million; $75,000 is in a CD set aside for tennis court repairs.

The Kellogg Foundation will use Velten’s Lawn Service to mow the grounds again this year at the same price as last year. He also reported that the community notification system, One Call Now, is up and running in Treadwell. A database of telephone numbers is entered into the system, a message is recorded, and notifications are sent to everyone on the list. Credits are purchased from the company for nine cents each.

At this time, the Kellogg Foundation Trust Fund is paying for the credits.

• Amanda Groff and Kelly Kingsbury from the Franklin Recreation Committee (FRC) asked to address the board about having both youth bureau summer employees at the pool. The town of Franklin usually has two youth bureau positions during the summer, one at the pool

and the other at the school. The school is unable to use anyone this year due to asbestos remediation, so Groff asked if both positions could be dedicated to the pool, and perform other duties as needed.

Groff contacted Lara Yambor, director of the Delaware County Youth Bureau, to see if the summer employees paid through the youth bureau could work as lifeguards and Yambor said that they could. The board voted to allow the FRC to use both at the pool with the provision that they would be available to mow and help in other areas, if needed.

• Supervisor Jeff Taggart read a letter from Mike Wallace to the board; the letter thanked them for listening to his concerns and for following through with the road repairs.

• Highway Superintendent Mark Laing said they are still working on accessing the federal surplus program website, but should be receiving updates soon. The highway department

received $250,000 in CHIPS money and $57,000 from PAVE NY, which is about the same as last year. They will seal 12.4 miles of roads and will start the guardrail program. They will also be working on tying in Christian Hill Road and Gibson Hill Road.

• The town’s insurance agent, William VanGorder, from NBTMang Insurance Agency reported on the town’s insurance renewal. This is the second year that the town has been with New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal (NYMIR) a non-profit licensed, regulated insurer owned by municipal policyholders in New York. Last year the town’s premium was $30,974 and this year it was $30,157.62 with the same coverage. The town had to buy into the policy, which is why the premium was slightly higher last year. Van Gorder said that he will need to be involved with construction or renovations for the building project to make sure the town has the proper coverages.

Senator Seward congratulates 2019 New York State Senate “Woman of Distinction” honoree Peg Ellsworth on the floor of the New York State Senate.

State Senator James L. Seward today honored Peg Ellsworth of Roxbury as the 2019 New York State Senate “Woman of Distinction” from the 51st senate district on Wednesday, May 8.

“Over the years, I have been fortunate to highlight a number of inspirational, trailblazing leaders through the senate’s Women of Distinction program, and this year is no different,” said Senator Seward. “Peg Ellsworth is a true Renaissance woman with a diverse record of accomplishments in business, community revitalization, education, economic development, and tourism. The entire Catskills region benefits greatly from her innovative ideas, tireless work effort, and devotion to others.”

Ellsworth is the executive director of the non-profit MARK Project. Under her guidance, the MARK Project has attained funds totaling nearly $14 million for community projects, flood relief, homeowner assistance, small business development, and Main Street Revitalization. The funds have leveraged additional private and public assets, translating to a $64 million investment in the region. Additionally, in coordination with local municipalities, MARK has assisted incomeeligible homeowners make over

$2 million in repairs addressing health and safety issues.

Along with leading the MARK Project, Ellsworth has served on the executive committee of the Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Council.

Ellsworth also operates a local catering business providing professional career opportunities for young residents.

“When the Central Catskills were added to my senate district in 2012, Peg Ellsworth was one of the first individuals I met. I knew instantly that whenever something needed to get done in the region, Peg would be the one to call. I have been proud to work with her for the betterment of the community and look forward to our continued partnership,” Seward concluded.

Along with honoring the 2019 Women of Distinction during a ceremony at the Capitol, the senate adopted a special resolution congratulating the honorees.

The senate’s “Women of Distinction” program was created in 1998 to honor New York women who exemplify personal excellence, or whose professional achievements or acts of courage, selflessness, integrity or perseverance serve as an example to all New Yorkers.

Proceeds from the sale are funneled back into the Walton community and are used for the Club’s many causes such as its eyeglass and hearing aid programs, contributions to the Walton Toy Bank and food bank and scholarships for graduating high school students.

CWC Approves Loan And Flood Mitigation Projects The Catskill Watershed Corporation (CWC) Board of Directors on May 7 approved a loan for the development of a rental cabin business in the Town of Hunter, and approved funds to elevate a building to avoid future flood damage.

The loan, from the Catskill Fund for the Future, was awarded to Stony Clove Ventures, an enterprise proposed by Eric Ansanelli, an engineer, and his brother Sean Ansanelli, an urban planning consultant. They intend to build several seasonal cabins on a 21-acre parcel at the juncture of New York State Route 214 and Notch Inn Road. The funds will be used to construct six cabins, a six-unit bathroom facility and utility infrastructure, as well as for excavating and landscap-

ing.

A building on Main Street in the village of Hunter will be elevated by more than three feet with funds from the Flood Hazard Mitigation Implementation program. The project, planned by 7883 Hunter LLC and managed

by Mark Chodock, will allow future floodwaters to pass through vents in a new concrete foundation. The historic building, a former International Order of Oddfellows Lodge, is located 300 feet from the Schoharie Creek within a Special Flood Hazard area named in the village’s Local Flood Analysis. The structure is envisioned as a café and office space.

Funding for floodproofing feasibility studies was also approved for a building in the village of

Walton owned by Robert Vitti, and one in the village of Delhi owned by Ryan Sturdevant.

The CWC board authorized $250,000 to enter into an agreement with Chazen Companies to conduct such flood mitigation feasibility studies for applicants approved by the board. Applicants will have the option of utilizing Chazen, or receiving study funds to select their own engineering consultant.

The CWC is a non-profit local development corporation which runs several environmental, economic development and education programs in the New York City West-of-Hudson Watershed.

School Bus Cameras...

THE REPORTER

May 15, 2019

hicles caught on camera will be fined $250 with the money split between the municipality and the school district.

The law would allow school districts to mount cameras on the stop-arms of buses, which extend when discharging or loading student.

Many Delaware County school district have been using interior and exterior cameras on school buses for more than a decade.

Among those districts is Delaware Academy at Delhi, where Transportation Supervisor Greg Verspoor, who has been with the district since 2006, has been using cameras on his fleet for more than 13 years.

Delaware Academy at Delhi Central School District

The Delhi school district began using interior cameras in its fleet as a management tool, which Verspoor said was initially met with some resistance from the school bus drivers. Early on, he said, the drivers realized the cameras could capture student behavior incidents that escaped the driver’s attention because they were focused on the road.

The interior cameras, Verspoor said, are for everyone’s safety.

The Delhi fleet is also outfitted with “dash cams” positioned to capture oncoming traffic through the bus’s windshield.

Delhi has also outfitted its passenger buses with exterior cameras on the driver’s side of the bus, which capture video of vehicles and license plates in the oncoming lane of traffic once they have begun to pass the school bus.

The video camera software is programmed to textually report functionability of the cameras, when the bus is slowing down and the amber flashing lights are engaged and when the bus’s red lights are flashing, the stoparm extended and the bus has stopped to discharge or load a student. All video is also time-

stamped and the cameras are programmed to engage from the moment the driver starts the ignition.

With the passage of the new law, the district will be able to capture still photos from the video, to submit to police agencies for prosecution of motorists who pass a stopped school bus, without the need of the bus driver providing a separate written, sworn statement to police.

Camera technology has evolved to allow for driver recognition, Verspoor said.

Motorists passing stopped school buses continue to plague the Delhi district. It doesn’t happen daily, but it sometimes does happen several times a week.

Elm Street in the village of Delhi sees the highest number of offenders, Verspoor said.

Walton Central School District

Walton Central School Transportation Supervisor Tracey Williams reports that his fleet of 21 buses are also outfitted with between one and three interior cameras and dash cams. The district has been using cameras for approximately 20 years, Williams said.

The district does not currently outfit its fleet with stop arm cameras, he said. Use of exterior cameras has been problematic, he said, because of rain, snow and dirt. It’s especially tough in the winter months, he said, by virtue of weather conditions, including slush, snow and salt spray.

Interior cameras provide video evidence of incidents, including those that occur inside the school bus. A driver usually sees “the second thing,” Williams said - the student retaliating or defending him or herself. The cameras provide an accounting of the whole incident.

The cameras, Williams continued, are used to keep students safe. But, he said, student, parent and motorist education is key to prevention.

School bus drivers can be dis-

tracted by unruly students on the bus and because of that, the district conducts school bus safety days each school year.

Most accidents involving school buses, Williams said, occur on sunny, clear days. In suspect weather, a motorist is already on high alert for potentially dangerous driving conditions.

“Any time you see a stopped school bus, expect there to be kids around it,” Williams cautions motorists. Those kids are either getting on or off the bus.

Though two major thoroughfares, state Routes 206 and 10 are in the Walton School District, there are few reports of a motorist passing a stopped school bus on those routes. Instead, Williams said, most offenses occur on the school’s two campuses in the parking lots.

Whenever red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, a motorist is required to stop, regardless of where the bus is, Williams said.

Downsville Central School District

Downsville Central School District Transportation Supervisor Gerry Ormandy said his district started installing cameras on buses in 2010. Downsville’s fleet of 13 school buses are outfitted with interior cameras.

In his district, Ormandy reported, Knox Avenue has the highest number of incidents of motorists passing stopped school buses.

Mondays and Fridays seem to be the days of the week in which the most number of offenses occur, Ormandy said.

He attributes that to motorists rushing to reach a destination on Monday mornings and likely distracted, looking forward to weekend plans on Fridays.

The transportation supervisors from all three district have been advocating and lobbying for the passage of the stop arm law for the past eight years as members of the New York State Association of Pupil Transportation.

Roxbury Superintendent Tom O’Brien To Retire In 2020

By Rosie Cunningham ROXBURY - After 17.5 years as superintendent for Roxbury Central School (RCS), Thomas O’Brien will retire officially on Jan. 22, 2020.

sell some of what is raised.

O’Brien’s three children each graduated from RCS. He said when the January date comes, he will walk away with many fond memories of interacting with the students.

“One of the greatest feelings of satisfaction is to run into an alum and have the opportunity to reminisce,” he said. “I have hired more then half of the employees presently employed and have many parents that were once students.”

Under O’Brien’s leadership, the majority of the RCS roof was replaced and renovations to the internal and exterior of the school were completed. He said his greatest memory beyond student interactions is the night he manned a pump in the school in the wake of Hurricane Irene.

The 55-year-old will continue to work full-time as a ski patroller at Belleayre Mountain where he has patrolled for more than 25 years.

“From there, we will see how the winds blow,” he said.

Area Schools Ranked As Best High Schools In New York

By Rosie Cunningham

Solution to last week’s puzzle appears on page 11

DELAWARE COUNTY - The votes are in and according to reports from U.S. News, local districts have made the list of “Best High Schools.”

Delaware Academy (DA) is ranked #230, while BainbridgeGuilford is #262, Deposit is #438, Margaretville #456, South Kortright #485, Unatego #529, Walton #584, Roscoe #664, Downsville #679, Livingston Manor #691, Franklin #696, Sidney #744, Hancock #747, and Afton, Charlotte Valley, Roxbury and Stamford are #904.

The rankings are established through a system which includes college readiness, graduation rate, math and reading proficiency, math and reading performance, underserved student performance and college curriculum breadth.

The administrators on the list couldn’t be more proud.

“We are all very pleased with our ranking as one of the best high schools in the United States.

It’s an honor we all own a ‘piece of’ as a school district and as a community,” said DA Superintendent Jason Thomson. “I believe what makes us an exceptional school is our students, community, dedicated teachers and support staff. Everyone always goes above and beyond. All of our teachers and staff work extremely well together as one unified team. Currently, we have 770 students enrolled in K-12.”

Thomson added that it is imperative to provide an exception-

al educational experience for all students.

“Simply due to the fact, you only have ‘one shot’ at providing a meaningful, positive educational experience and getting it right,” he said.

DA offers 117 different college credits (dual enrollment courses), eight different advanced placement (AP) programs, honors courses, as well as advanced math and sciences.

“We offer an advanced College Technical Education Program (CTEP) through a collaborative partnership with SUNY Delhi, FFA programming, school garden, our maple house, just to name a few,” said Thomson. “We have multiple mental health programs which include Alternative to Violence Programming (AVP), Olweus bullying prevention program, and “Sources of Strength.”

Also, pending our 2019-2020 budget approval, we will be adding an additional school counselor.”

“We are thrilled at being recognized as one of the best high schools, although not surprised,” said Unatego Superintendent David Richards. “We have known for some time that we had a great school and having a great high school goes beyond just what is happening in grades 9-12 - it takes an entire district to have a great high school and we have a veteran staff and great kids who all work together to ensure that our students graduate collegeand are career-ready.”

Unatego has 230 students in grades 9-12.

“Aside from the awesome students and outstanding teachers, one of the things we are known for is a rigorous academic program with high standards (passing is 70 percent instead of most schools’ 65 percent), strong arts programs (music, drama, and visual arts), and competitive interscholastic athletic teams. We also offer an extensive array of concurrent enrollment college courses through Tompkins Cortland Community College and University of Albany, multiple Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and have recently focused on expanding our STEAM electives, particularly in coding and robotics. We are also one of the few area schools that still offers a business program. Our most important function is to provide our students with the skills that will help them succeed in life beyond high school, and I feel that here at Unatego, we do an exceptional job in that regard.”

“It’s a good list to be on,” said Sidney Central School Assistant Superintendent Kerrie Johnston.

“We have many wonderful opportunities here at Sidney. We have the Project Lead the Way STEM Program. Students can enroll in college credits at no costs and the staff at Sidney leads the instruction. We have an expanding farm-to-table program and we have partnered with the Raymond Corporation and our BOCES welding students utilize their skills. We have so many opportunities during the school year as well as when school is no longer in session.”

Sidney Central Participates in Grape-To-School Pilot Program Promotes Farm-to-Table, Healthy Initiatives

SIDNEY - Sidney Central School (SCS) is taking part in a grape-to-school pilot program.

The pilot program was announced by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and introduces students to New York-grown Concord grape juice in participating school districts and BOCES programs.

According to a release, through the end of the school year, 10 districts will serve New York State Grown & Certified Concord grape juice. In addition, the participating districts will provide educational activities and taste tests to promote New York agriculture and expand locally sourced products on school menus.

New York state is the nation’s second largest Concord grape producer, with approximately 30,000 acres of grape vineyards located along the belt. The majority, more than 18,000 acres, are in New York state. The Concord variety is used in the production of many value-added products, including grape juice, jellies and marmalades, and wine.

“This first-of-its-kind program will not only bring nutritious, locally grown Concord grapes to schoolchildren across the state, but will provide educational opportunities that allow them to learn more about New York’s agricultural industries,” Governor Cuomo said. “With this initiative, we are continuing our commitment to bringing nutritious menu items to schools in every corner of the state, and supporting our local farmers and growers as they work to provide the highest quality products around.”

“We have a great partnership with our wellness committee which consists of individuals from our Bassett School Based Health Center, staff and community members as well as other organizations such as the Rural Health Network and our BOCES lunch director,” said SCS Assistant Superintendent Kerrie Johnston.

On April 24, the students art SCS took part in a grape fruit juice taste test.

“We did it on the same day that we had the fifth grade do a salsa recipe taste-test, utilizing some of the ingredients we grow here,” said Johnston.

SCS is no stranger to farm-to-table efforts and to supporting agriculture locally.

The district uses an aquaponics farming system utilizing tanks in the elementary school lunch room. In 250 gallon fish tanks, tilapia fish waste fertilizes the crops in water and the method allows farming year-round. Students at SCS help manage the PH levels. Plants are started from seeds and let-

tuce is picked after approximately 26 days. No pellets or dirt are used and the method is all natural.

The practice grows celery, kale, spinach and mostly “leafy” vegetables because of the acidity. All of the vegetables are utilized in the school salad bar.

In 2017, SCS committed to a 100 percent prepared food menu and the initiative is part of Sidney’s fresh and unprocessed school lunch program for the high school.

“We have a garden program as well,” said Johnston. “This year we are preparing beds and will be creating produce - we would love to bring more and more to the cafeteria. The beds are managed by the students and classes and in the fall, they run a farmers’ market at the school. We want to connect the kids at an early age to promote healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.”

The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets is working in partnership with American Farmland Trust, through New York state’s collaborative Farm-to-Institution initiative, on the pilot program. Westfield Maid Cooperative and Long Island-based beverage manufacturer, New York Juice Company, partnered to produce and package the cups filled with Concord grape juice.

New York Juice Company and Westfield Maid, New York State’s first NYS Grown & Certified juice processor, are supplying more than 65 additional districts across the state with the juice cups, which contain Concord grape juice. The juice purchases help schools meet a goal of purchasing 30 percent of their food from local sources so they qualify for higher school lunch reimbursement rates.

The four-ounce juice cups are filled with a new “growing grape” flavor. The NYS Grown & Certified seal, displayed prominently on each cup, lets consumers know that the juice is made from grapes grown by New York farmers who are committed to meeting high food safety standards and demonstrating environmental stewardship.

Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said, “We appreciate Governor Cuomo’s support of New York state agriculture, as well as the food and beverage industries and we’re excited to see our schools bring fresh, nutritious New York-grown Concord grapes to our schoolchildren. New York ranks second in the nation for Concord grapes and this pilot program will not only educate our students about where their food comes from but it will also help highlight the importance of Concord grapes to our agricultural economy, connecting our growers and producers with new customers.”

The Claremont Trio To Appear In Stamford

‘Local Color in Black and White’ At CWC Margaretville

Catskill seasonal drawings and paintings by a Highmount artist Gail Freund are now on display at the Catskill Watershed Corporation (CWC) in Margaretville.

The public is welcome to view “Local Color in Black and White,” at the CWC, 905 Main Street, weekdays from 8 to 4:30 (closed May 27 and July 4). The show will be up through July 5. All of the work is for sale.

Freund has chosen 13 drawings and paintings for this exhibit, inspired by the distinct seasonal changes in the region of the Catskills since 2016 when she moved here from Manhattan.

Freund has always been attracted to the graphic simplicity of black and white and she enjoys the outdoor life that surrounds her. She likes the immediacy of India Ink, and the bravery of the first dramatic stroke on the paper where there is no turning back, only going forward. “Painting on sandpaper reveals the push of the gesture in the edges of the strokes.” Gail is attracted to the relationships of trees to each other and the spaces between them and herself.

Freund was born in Queens, and received a BFA from Parsons School of Design. She worked as

an illustrator The New York Times, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, and New York Magazine. She shifted careers to become design director of a costume jewelry company for over 25 years. Gail has also collaborated on film and theatre projects in New York City as a set and costume designer.

The CWC is a non-profit, Local Development Corporation responsible for several environmental protection, economic development and education programs in the New York City Watershed West of the Hudson River. FMI: 845-586-1400; www. cwconline.org.

On Wednesday, May 22, there will be a state science performance test for Grades 4 and 8 and the FFA banquet will be at the Sidney Fire Hall at 6 p.m. The FFA Chapter works hard all year long to make this night a good one and there will be a lot of prizes for those attending that have been gathered by the members and their leader and more helpers from the FFA Alumni, so let’s show them our support.

Here ion the Farm, the fellas have been getting the equipment ready for the corn planting and grass chopping whenever the weather decides to clear up and some sun can dry the fields so they may plant. We all hope that is soon for all farmers. The cows had their feet trimmed last week and they seem to have liked that very much and there were not any cows who had to have their feet repaired and wrapped which is good. We will be testing the cow’s for milk production and other components like butterfat, protein and other solids. They have been doing very well and we hope to keep it that way. The milk price is getting a little better and making it so we can catch up on some things that have been neglected. Some new tires will be getting put on one of the tractors and have been much needed for a long time. The tractors have had to be sent away to be worked on and some have been done on the farm when possible, getting ready for action in the fields when the weather breaks. Keep buying dairy products and lots of milk to keep farmers in operation.

We have lost many Masonville people over the past months and express our sympathy to their friends and families.

Birthday greetings May 1 through 10: Duane Brayman, Marie Sherman, Karla Paul, Penny Wormsley Hager, Kelsey Scott, Phyllis Warner Welch, Colleen Scott, Jennifer VanPelt and Nathan Thomas Carroll.

Masonville Federated Church Sunday services are at 11 a.m. with adult Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Tuesday Bible study at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday at 6 p.m., Praise Band Rehearsal. Sunday, May 19, there will be a 90th birthday celebration for Marie Sherman following worship; all are welcome.

At the plate, Kyle Pagillo had a two-RBI single and Preston VanWie went 2-for-4 with a RBI and Connor Ferguson went 1-for-1 with three runs in the win. Taylor and Bryce Bracchy also had two hits apiece.

“He walked three times and scored all three times,” said Neumann of Ferguson. “It was nice to see multiple kids step up on offense.”

Evan Hyzer and Damian Stafford each had one hit for B-G. DA (8-6, 6-4) will play Unatego in the MAC tournament at home on Thursday.

Athlete of the Week Alex Taylor

Alex Taylor has been a leader on the baseball field this season and is The Reporter athlete of the week.

According to Delaware Academy Coach Phil Neumann, both Taylor and teammate Rich LaLosh are the key pitchers for the Bulldogs. Taylor has a 6-0 record this season from the hill and when he is not hurling the ball in he plays in left field.

“He throws strikes and commands his curve ball and fast ball,” said Neumann of the athlete.

Taylor, a senior, is also the “top hitter on the team” with a batting average of .407 and takes a swing from third or fourth in the line-up.

“He’s been a MAC all-star as a sophomore and junior and he will be one again this year,” said Neumann. “He’s the most dedicated kid to the sport - he plays all summer long and in the fall as well.”

The DA coach added that off of the ball field he is “just a super kid.”

“He’s a good kid - very respectful and a great teammate,” he said.

Roxbury Community Mourns Loss of Longtime Coach And Teacher A longtime Roxbury Central School coach and art teacher’s longtime fight with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is over and the community is mourning.

Michael Reidlinger, “Reidy,” who passed away on May 7 at the age of 58 years old.

The husband of Dawn Reidlinger started his teaching career as a shared-services art teacher at Roxbury, Windham and Stamford central schools, eventually becoming the fulltime high school art teacher at Roxbury Central School where he taught and coached for more than 20 years.

Reidlinger’s son Brendan, a high school student at Roxbury, shared a statement for his father.

“Five years ago when you first started getting sick I was in disbelief. I couldn’t comprehend the fact that my dad, who was probably the most physically fit and healthy guy I had ever known, was losing the ability to walk. I held on to the hope that you would improve and that someday you would be better, but sadly it didn’t work out that way. I love you dad. Thank you for everything you’ve ever done for me.

Rosie’s Rounds

By Rosie Cunningham

Is anyone tired of the rain yet? Area leagues are having a challenging time getting their playoff contests in and many games are being rescheduled.

In the Delaware League for baseball, South Kortright clinched the title game and will be playing either Charlotte Valley/Stamford or Roxbury in crossovers. If CV/S wins in a contest against Hunter-Tannersville (originally slated for Monday), they will face the Rams, but if CV/S loses, the Rockets will.

On the softball side, CV/S was slated to play Downsville Tuesday but the game was rained out. If Downsville wins, the championship game will be between Roxbury and Gilboa. If CV/S wins there will be a three-way tie. If necessary, the Wildcats would play the Rockets on Wednesday and the winner would play Gilboa on Thursday for the title game.

The MAC softball playoff between Harpursville and Greene will be on Wednesday at Greene (5 p.m.). Bainbridge-Guilford will visit Deposit and the title game is slated for Thursday at Oneonta State with a rain date of Friday.

MAC baseball playoffs for Tuesday were postponed Harpursville was set to visit Deposit/Hancock and Sidney would be traveling to Greene.

Harpursville will now travel to Deposit today, May 15, for a 5 p.m. start. Unadilla Valley/Gilbertsville-Mount Upton was set to travel to Walton and Unatego was slated to visit Delaware Academy.

According to DA Coach Phil Neumann, the Bulldogs will host Unatego on Thursday now. I will be providing updates on The Reporter Facebook page as more information and scheduling comes in.

UV Hands D/H Baseball First Loss Of The Season

By Rosie Cunningham Unadilla Valley/GilbertsvilleMount-Upton (UV/G-MU) handed Deposit/Hancock their first loss of the season in their final Mid-state Athletic Conference league match-up.

UV/G-MU’s Cameron Osborne hit a walk-off sacrifice fly to lead the team to the 2-1 win in nine innings of play.

D/H, is the No. 1 ranked Class C team and are the 2018 state champions.

According to D/H Coach Matthew Mastropietro, Caden Fortunato ended 2-for-3 on the day for the Eagles.

The Eagles scored their only run in the top of the second inning. Raymond Rynearson started the inning by reaching base on an infield single. Rynearson then stole second base before Caden Fortunato singled to left field to advance Rynearson to third base. Fortunato then stole second base and Rynearson took advantage of the throw down to get himself across home plate for the only Eagles run of the day.

UV/GMU then tied the score in the fourth inning on an error.

Both teams battled through four more innings before UV/GMU was finally able to score the winning run on a bases loaded sacrifice fly to right field with one out.

The Eagles tried to throw out the advancing runner, but came up short.

“We struggled to hit the ball hard early on in the game,” said Mastropietro. “In the second half of the game, we were putting the bat on the ball, but couldn’t get anything by their fielders when we had runners in scoring position.

“Rynearson threw a great game, striking out eight for the day, but we weren’t able to get him the run support he needed.

Even though we ended up taking the loss for the day, the extra innings battle put us into some competitive situations that will make us better as we head into post season play”.

Starting pitcher for UV/GMU was Colin Grant (eight innings) and the winning pitcher was Cameron Osborne who took relief in the ninth inning.

The Eagles finished the MAC as the No. 1 seed and will host the No. 4 seed Harpursville Wednesday for the first round of the MAC mini tournament (5 p.m.).

D/H 10, Harpursville 3 The Eagles picked up a 10-3 win over Harpursville Friday.

D/H’s Cole Russell was 3-for-4 with a triple, double and single.

Russell also scored two runs for the Eagles and had an RBI. Raymond Rynearson was 2-for-4 with two triples, one run scored and three RBIs. Bob Lewis was 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Lucas Resti, Caleb Walker, Caden Fortunato, Castin Ostrander and Josiah Simmons all added a hit each for the Eagles.

Winning pitcher was Fortunato (five innings) and Resti closed things out (two innings).

Losing Pitcher was James Grausgruber.

“The Eagles started their scoring in the third with a lead off single by Josiah Simmons,” said Mastropietro. “Castin Ostrander tried to advance Simmons on a bunt, but Simmons was forced out at second and Ostrander reached on a fielder’s choice. Ostrander then advanced to second on a stolen base and was able to reach third on an error by the shortstop on the same play. Cole Russell then drove in Ostrander on a double with a line drive to center field. Next batter, Lucas Resti was then hit by a pitch to give the Eagles runners on first and second with two outs. Caleb Walker then drew a walk to load the bases for the Eagles. Raymond Rynearson then tripled to center field to clear the bases for the Eagles and take a 4-0 lead.”

The Hornets were able to earn some runs back in the bottom of the third and tightened the score to 4-3.

However, the Eagles were able to get the bats working again in the fourth inning to pull ahead for good.

“We hit the ball really well today and were able to take advantage of a couple of errors to score some runs,” said Mastropietro.

“Fortunato threw really well over five innings, walking only two while striking out seven. Our extra base hits allowed us to score some runs while also keeping runners in scoring position.”

Gilbertsville Mount-Upton Central School students known as the Clay Raiders enjoy competitive shooting.

A Column of News & Comment by Senator James L. Seward This past week I spent time at a school sporting event in my district. There were proud parents and family members on hand to cheer on the student-athletes.

School officials were present to watch the competition and represent the school. A number of residents from the community also turned out to offer their steadfast support.

The student-athletes themselves were an impressive group.

It was clear that they have put in hours of practice and worked hard to develop their skills. I perceived a strong camaraderie between team members and coaches alike.

While some of the athletes performed better than others, no one team member was more valuable than another and it was clear that there were no superstar attitudes.

During the spring sports season in New York State, our high schools are competing in a number of terrific sports – baseball, softball, lacrosse, golf, tennis, and track and field. This competition was none of those. The event I took in was clay trap shooting and the team from Gilbertsville Mount-Upton Central School is known as the Clay Raiders.

The Clay Raiders are one of 83 teams competing as part of the New York State High School Clay Target League. This is Gilbertsville Mount-Upton’s first year of competition, but after meeting with the students and others involved, I am certain it is not their last.

While the team is affiliated with the school, it is really the brainchild of the Gilbertsville Rod and Gun Club. Club members researched the possibility of starting a team, presented the idea to the school’s board of education and, after receiving school approval,

set to work on turning their idea into a reality.

Competitions take place at the Gilbertsville Rod and Gun Club and the team is supported financially by local businesses and other organizations. Team members undergo rigorous safety training before they ever set foot on the range to take part in competition.

According to the New York State High School Clay Target League website: “All student athletes are required to complete and submit certificates for either one of two League-approved firearm safety certification programs – a stateapproved hunter education certificate or the League’s SAFE Certification. Teams should verify the firearm safety training certification requirements with the shooting range where they will be conducting League events. Student athletes cannot shoot at an event on a team at any time without a League-approved firearm safety certificate.”

As I watched the competition, it was extremely clear that safety comes first. Each student-athlete showed tremendous respect and the club members and others on hand were also vigilant of safety rules.

The Gilbertsville Mount-Upton squad is comprised of eleven student athletes. The team is co-

ed and both boys and girls were showing off their marksmanship skills on the night I attended.

Speaking with members of the rod and gun club who organized the team, I was impressed to learn of their main goals. Safety and fun are the priorities along with teaching the young men and women about sportsmanship and respect for the outdoors. Winning was not even discussed.

One other clay target team in my senate district, at McGraw High School, is also competing for the first time this spring. The team started in similar fashion with the help of local sportsmen, and I look forward to visiting with them and observing their progress in a few weeks.

At a time when Second Amendment rights and sporting traditions are not priorities for many Albany politicians, I am proud to represent individuals who understand their importance and want to see them carry on. I would invite any of my legislative colleagues to watch a competition and talk to the students and coaches involved – perhaps they would gain a new perspective on firearm use.

For anyone interested in starting a team of their own, the New York State High School Clay Target League website has all the details at www.nyclaytarget.com.

life, Marie Baggetta, at a wedding reception and married her on June 10, 1972. He was a loving son, husband, uncle, father of two children, and grandfather to two grandchildren. He enjoyed nothing more than a round of golf with friends or family followed by cocktail hour and many laughs around the dinner table. He traveled the country and the world with his wife of nearly 47 years and enjoyed 19 years of well-deserved retirement. He had a lifelong love of trains which he shared with his friends, children and grandchildren over the years as he meticulously tinkered with a handmade model railroad track and insisted that operators wear a conductor’s cap and red handkerchief. Nothing made him prouder than the successes of his son and daughter and he adored his grandson and granddaughter.

Dominic is survived by his beloved wife, Marie Milazzo of Walton; son Peter Milazzo of Hamilton; daughter Stephanie Milazzo-Clinger (Matthew) of Stafford Va.; grandchildren Brian and Madeleine Clinger, of Stafford Va., sister-in-law, Beverly Milazzo of Queensbury and his niece, Bethany Milazzo of Albany.

He was predeceased by his brother, Joseph Milazzo.

A Mass of Christian Burial to celebrate Dominic’s life will be held on Saturday, June 1, at 11 a.m. at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, 25 Benton Avenue, Walton, with Rev. Edward J. Golding officiating. Please assemble at church. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family.

A Grandma’s recipe from Nadine Shampine for her banana cake. I have tried it and it’s very good. 1 box yellow cake mix, 3/4 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 small), 3 eggs, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup oil. Beat eggs 3 minutes then add cake mix, baking powder and bananas; add water, oil and nuts and mix well. Pour in a greased 9x13 cake pan or a bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 40 to 60 minutes. Frost with a confectioner’s sugar frosting.

From a 1932 cookbook by the Mystery Chef: How to color gravy just the exact shade you want: Into a frying pan that is bright and clean place two good rounded tablespoons of granulated sugar. Then put your frying pan over the fire.

Watch the sugar begin to melt. As you see it showing signs of beginning to brown, just tip your frying pan and keep the sugar moving so that it all browns. Keep rocking the frying pan, slowly tipping, allowing the sugar to run from side to side so that it all gets evenly browned. Keep the pan over the fire until the sugar is burnt to a very deep color, about the color of bitter chocolate. Then remove the pan from the fire and slowly pour the burnt sugar into a large iron spoon or a tablespoon if you do not have a larger spoon.

Let the burnt sugar solidify in the spoon. It will take a minute or two to cool and settle down. In case you can’t get it all in, keep the pan warm and then when the burned sugar

has settled down in the spoon pour some more in. It may be necessary to put your pan over the fire again for a minute to make the sugar run.

Now when the burnt sugar is cold it will be absolutely solid in the spoon and you can hang it up ready for immediate use whenever you require it. I tie a piece of wax paper over mine to keep the dust from it. Now how do you use that spoon? Suppose you have a lamb stew or have cooked chicken by some recipe that gives you chicken that tastes all right but with a weak-looking liquid - just put the spoon containing the hardened burnt sugar into the stew or into any gravy that you desire to color. Stir the spoon around and see how it gradually starts to color the gravy or stew. Stir the spoon around until you have the exact color you require, then remove the spoon, run a little water over it and let it dry.

Cover the spoon with wax paper to keep it clean and hang it up for use again whenever you want it.

When I read this one I couldn’t help think they went through a lot back in those days and we can be thankful for how things have improved through the years.

My thoughts of the week: If you’re driving toward Delhi, on Burgin’s Flat, watch where you’re driving and don’t end up off the road in one of the newly dug ditches. If you get in one you’re not going to get back out by yourself. Just overnight, my lawn is covered with dandelions. I love the bright yellow color of them

and even the mowing doesn’t make them go away. The bright yellow color of them is pretty but not as beautiful as the variety of daffodils Don K. brought me. Years ago I tried making wine with the dandelions and it turned out good, but it was only a one-time thing that I wanted to try.

Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn’t need any help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. “I don’t know,” he said, “She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.”

Senior Moments: I honestly think I’ve gotten better looking as I’ve gotten older. It has been almost a decade, however since I had my eyes checked.

A cute saying: The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Helpful Hint: When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Condolences to the families of Bruce Hoyt and Don Moore.

Dorothy Gatto Dorothy Ann Gatto, or famously known as Dot Dot Dash and Aunt Dotty, has gone peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 7, 2019, at the age of 91.

Born April 20, 1928, in Brooklyn, she was one of four sisters. Dotty worked for over 45 years at New York Bell Telephone Company.

Dotty was a very devout Catholic; her great true love being Jesus Christ. In fact, the day before her departure she happily asked to be sent to “her handsome Jesus.” She had a happy life but knew she was ready. Dotty had dedicated her entire life to serving God and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ and the importance for all of us to gain approval to enter the kingdom of heaven. She was strong in her faith and wanted that for others. She never shied from sharing her beliefs. Dotty had all the love and means to be a nun early on in life but has said she felt it was best to serve him by helping to raise and care for her nieces and nephews.

Dotty didn’t have any children of her own but she proudly helped her sister, Irene, bring up 10 children. Some have sadly left before their time but all have loved and

respected their Aunt with an unmeasurable resource.

Dotty was blessed with many great- and great-great-nephews and nieces over the years. All were welcome in her home at all times and she truly looked forward to gathering such as Sunday dinners, holidays, birthdays and weddings; any chance to have the family together. She loved reading faithbased material (The Wanderer, The Evangelist) and decorating her house. She could always be found watching either Lawrence Welk or The Eternal Word Television Network/EWTN. Dotty went to mass daily and loved praying and saying the rosary.

Dotty was a strong force in the family and will be greatly missed but will be remembered for many things but especially: her strict and matching attire policy; her very charming and elegant house of blue; her lead foot which coined the nickname, Dot Dot Dash; and last but not least, her signature “ooh honey!” phrase if something troubled her.

Aunt Dotty, your family thanks you for everything you’ve done and are grateful your suffering on Earth is no more, as you rejoice in heaven above! We love you very much, our tiny bluebird.

Dorothy is survived by her loving family: her nieces and nephews, Jimmy and Linda Passarella, Ronkonkoma; Charlie and Karen Passarella, Smithtown; Maria and Gregg Kujawski, Franklin; Kathy and Steve Smith, Franklin; Donna and Steve Cox, Franklin; Peggy and Walter Peterson, Franklin; Tom and Sandy Harrington, Walton; her great-nephews and great-nieces: Michael, Aimee, Melissa, Alex, Breanna, Christina, Chris, Jessica, Jimmy, Charlie, Danielle, Alyssa, Kevin, Anthony, Stephanie, Amy, Wesley, Gina, Michael, Jaclyn, Michael, Seven Jr., Joey, Steven, Colleen, Lacey, Matthew, Michael, Irene, Terry, Timmy; her greatgreat nephews and great-great nieces: Andrew, Nolan, Jackson, Holden, David, Judd, Zander, Myla, Quinn, Bela, McCartney, Noah and Henry; her best in-law/game buddy; Doris Peterson; her adopted nieces Laura Dunne, Lauren and Alley, nephews Tommy and Andrew Lehey and her animals, Max and Eddie.

She was predeceased by her

Mother and Father Margret and Michael Gatto, her sisters Kathryn Gatto, Margie Tippmann, Irene Passarella, her brother-inlaw Charles Passarella and Fred Tippmann; her aunt and uncle; Rocco and Barbara Zeuli, her uncle, Leo Zeuli, her nephews; Michael Passarella, Johnny Passarella and her niece, Terry Harrington.

THE WEEK IN WALTON What We Are Talking About at the County Hub

SCHAUFLER BILL DISAPPROVED Majestic Theatre Sold − Resuming Freight Shipments − New Houses Being Built.

The examinations in Delaware county for the Cornell scholarship will be held in the court room in Delhi Saturday, June 7.

Rev. Frederick Williams, who has recently been ordained to the ministry, leaves about June first for Redmond, Oregon, where he will serve as pastor of the Presbyterian church.

Martin Nichols has sold his house on upper Prospect Avenue to Mrs. Fred Walker. The sale was made through the agency of H. M. Robinson, and includes six acres of land.

D. M. Chamberlain of Walton, formerly of Trout Creek, has bought the 82 acre farm of J. A. Merrill near Bainbridge. The purchase price is $7,500. Sale was made through the agency of H. S. Ogden.

Among the bills recently signed

by Governor Smith was that of Assemblyman Witter amending the education law to increase from $20 to $50 the state tuition for instructing non-resident academic pupils.

Eva Beardsley will be valedictorian of the graduating class of the Walton high school, and Anna Wood won the second honors in scholarship and will be the salutatorian. It is expected that the class will number about twenty-seven members.

Glendy Griffin of the 303rd Engineers arrived home last week. He has lost the sight of his right eye as a result of having the eyeball punctured by a piece of barbed wire while on active service in France.

He was in a hospital for several months.

Joseph Harby has temporarily closed his meat market on Gardiner Place, but expects to reopen for buisness in about a month. Mr. Harby has been in ill health, and his son Platt Harby, is just recovering from a sever attack of pneumonia.

Inability to secure help in the market led to the closing.

James Munn is excavating the cellar for a new house, which he will construct at the corner of Stockton Avenue and Sewell Place.

Owing to the scarcity of houses in the village, it is expected that a number of new homes will be erected this summer.

Effective Monday, May 19, the Ontario & Western will ship freight in less than carload lots on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of each week from stations between Livingston Manor and South Unadilla. Less than carload freight will be received only on the days named and will not be accepted after 4 p. m. For the past few months Monday and Thursday have been

shipping days for northbound freight and Tuesday and Friday for southbound freight.

A strike of the express drivers in New York city has tied up all express both to and from the city, and has resulted in a greater use of the parcel post system. Over twenty-five crates of eggs have been shipped to the city from the Walton post office alone during the week. The great excess of parcel post matter over the amount usually handled has resulted in a serious congestion in the New York post office. The employees have returned to work and regular shipments have been resumed.

An important business change was consummated Friday, when Howard J. Northrup sold the real estate and business of the Majestic theatre to Walter Knight and Frank S. Medrick, possession to be given within sixty days. Mr. Northrup came to Walton in 1911, and two years later constructed the fine moving picture theatre building on Delaware street, one of the best in this section of the state. He has not decided on his future plans, but expects to remain in Walton and engage in some other line of business. The sale was made through the agency of H. M. Robinson.

Governor Smith has disapproved the bill which would confer jurisdiction on the Court of Claims to hear, audit and determine the alleged claim of Joseph Schaufler against the state, while engaged in the work of the state in endeavoring to capture Robert Silliman, a lunatic, who had escaped from the Binghamton State Hospital. In his memorandum the governor says: “This bill seeks to make the state liable for an injury to the chief of police of the village of Walton, in Delaware county. The injury was inflicted by a lunatic, who had escaped from the Binghamton State Hospital, and in whose apprehension the chief of police was engaged. I cannot conceive that any public or private person who requests a policeman to do his plain duty can be held liable in damages for injuries accruing to that policeman in the course of its discharge, and I do not believe there is any liability on the part of the state for damages done to the chief of police of this village in the discharge of his duty. He alleges that officers of the Binghamton State Hospital asked him to assist them in securing the escaped man. Had the request come from any other citizen, no liability could be attached to that citizen. He was merely discharging his duty as chief of police. The bill is therefore disapproved.”

ENGINEER DOUGHERTY KILLED Struck by Yard Engine While Crossing Tracks at Maybrook.

Cyrus V. Dougherty of Middletown, a native of Livingston Manor, was fatally injured in an accident on the Central New England railroad on Saturday morning, and died while being taken from Maybrook to the Poughkeepsie hospital.

Mr. Dougherty was employed as an engineer on the Central New England, and had just come into the Maybrook yards from his run.

He had put his locomotive in the roundhouse, and was on his way through the yards to take a train

to his home in Middletown when struck by one of the yard engines.

Cyrus Dougherty was 40 years of age, and was formerly employed on the Ontario & Western railroad.

LOAN QUOTA RAISED IN EVERY DISTRICT

GETS $900 VERDICT IN DAMAGE ACTION

Nearly 5,000 Subscribers to the Victory Notes

SEVEN MILLIONS IN FIVE LOANS Hugh Sum Represents in Large Part Savings of the People − Figures for Victory Loan.

Every banking district in Delaware county filled its quota for the Victory Loan, and in several instances substantial oversubscriptions are reported.

It had been thought by many that the banks would be forced to make heavy subscriptions to the loan to meet their quotas, but this did not prove to be the case, although several institutions made substantial subscriptions for their own investment account after their quotas had been filled.

One fact of interest is that in the five Liberty Loan campaigns and with the sale of War Savings Stamps the people of Delaware county have invested some seven million dollars in government securities. It is believed that at least one in every four of the population is a holder of a Liberty Bond. Much of the purchasing of bonds has been made out of savings which would not have been made without the patriotic incentive offered.

Subscriptions received through the First National Bank of Walton to the five loans have been as follows, the number of subscribers also being given: First loan, $57,350 and 184 subscribers; 2nd loan, $152,500 and 943 subscribers; 3rd loan, $146,900 and 1051 subscribers; 4th loan, $299,150 and 1548 subscribers; fifth loan, $251,750 and 955 subscribers. Total raised, $907,650.

The figures of the Victory loan are given below, but may be changed somewhat by the official reports. In the first column is given the quota assigned each banking district, in the second column the amount raised and in the third column the number of individual subscribers where known: NumBank Quota Raised ber Andes $30,500 $45,600 137 Delhi 226,800 273,750 658 Downsville 63,100 63,250 172 Franklin 97,700 107,00 255 Grand Gorge 64,000 91,000 230 Hancock 115,300 120,500 523 Hobart 87,600 121,100 227 Fleischmanns 50,200 No Report Margaretville 98,000 105,575 439 Roxbury 64,000 93,150 210 Sidney 275,000 300,000 Stamford 137,500 176,000 Walton 226,800 251,750 955

NEW INDUSTRIES TO START Walton Will Have Basket Factory and Concrete Works.

Walton will have a new industry in a veneer and basket factory which Claude R. Savage of Buffalo will soon open in one of the buildings of the former United States Brake Shoe company’s plant at West End. John H. Tweedie, who bought the property, has sold two of the buildings and about an acre of land to Mr. Savage, who is fitting one of the buildings up for the factory. Two large concrete vats are being installed, and Mr. Savage expects to receive his machinery and be ready for operations within a few weeks. He was formerly engaged in the same business at Orchard Park, near Buffalo. Mr. Tweedie himself expects to go into the manufacture of concrete blocks on a large scale, and is fitting up the main building of the old Brake Shoe plant for this purpose. A concrete floor is being put in this building, which is 32 by 90 feet in dimensions. Later a sixty-foot addition will be built

Claimed Fall Was Due to Defective Lights

$215 FOR FARM COMMISSION Verdict for Strout Agency on Third Trial of Shavertown Case − Court Goes Into Third Week.

The May term of Supreme Court in Delhi promises to be one of the longest terms in recent years. There are cases enough ready for trial, it is stated, to occupy the attention of the court for the third week and perhaps go into the fourth week.

In the case of Ella C. Alton against the village of Fleischmanns, which was on trial last week, the jury returned a verdict of $900. The plaintiff sued to recover for injuries alleged to have been sustained when she fell last summer. The claim was that the accident was due to defective street lighting. O’Connor & O’Connor of Hobart are attorneys for plaintiff while George A. Speenburg represented the village.

The trial of the suit brought by the E. A. Strout Farm Agency against Archie Gladstone of Shavertown, to recover commissions alleged to be due on the sale of a farm, resulted in a verdict of $215 for the Strout Agency. The trial started Friday and was resumed Monday, going to the jury on Tuesday. The facts in the case were somewhat as follows, although there was a sharp conflict as to some of the facts: In 1910 Guy S. Fitch of Delhi, then agent for the Strout agency, went to Gladstone and asked the privilege of listing for sale Mr. Gladstone’s farm at Shavertown. Gladstone testified that he told Fitch that he would not list the place and did not care to sell, but that if he decided to sell he would notify Fitch. In 1911 Gladstone wrote Fitch that he was ready to sell and if he wanted to buy to come and look over the place. Fitch did so and got a list of the personal property and price. It was agreed that the agency should receive anything over a purchase price of $10,000. Later Fitch sent a purchaser, S. A. Aldrich, who finally bought the farm for $10,000.

The question at issue was whether there was any personal property which Mr. Gladstone had agreed to include in the $10,000 price and which he later reserved when the sale was made. The case has been tried twice before. The first time there was a verdict of no cause of action which was set aside by Justice Davis. On the second trial the Strout agency recovered a $590 judgment but this was set aside by Justice Sewell and the Appellate Division later upheld this decision.

The jury in the present trial was given the case on Tuesday and returned a verdict of $215 in favor of the plaintiff. O’Connor & O’Connor are attorneys for the Strout agency and F. W. Hartman, attorney for Mr. Gladstone, was assisted at the trial by F. W. Youmans and A. G. Patterson.

In the trespass action of Alva More against Agnes Cole, a juror was withdrawn in order that the plaintiff may amend his complaint in the action.

The trial of the action of the E. A. Strout Farm Agency against Eugene DeForest of the town of Sidney, to recover commissions, was commence Wednesday. F. W. Youmans is attorney for the agency and Sewell & France represent the defendant with Alexander Neish of Walton as counsel.

With the consent of both sides the case was taken from the jury

by Justice Kellogg who will render his decision in twenty days.

In the case of Guy Fitch against Ralph Crawford to recover money loaned judgment was taken by default for $130.

HOUCK SENT TO REFORMATORY Grand Jury Found Seven Indictments − Several Excise Cases.

The grand jury in session in connection with the May term of Supreme Court in Delhi, returned seven indictments. The prisoners were arraigned Monday before Justice Kellogg and their cases disposed of as follows: John Houck of Walton, indicted for petit larceny, second offense, was sentenced to Elmira Reformatory for an indefinite term.

Harry Schoonmaker, Vincent Russell and Wellman Brown, indicted for burglary, third degree, for breaking into Budine's market in Walton, plead guilty. The Court is inclined to parole these boys and sentence was withheld for the present. They may be placed on parole on farms. Houck was the leader of the gang, but was not present at the time of the Budine burglary.

Joseph Lombardi and John Monaco, Cadosia Italians, indicted for violation of the excise law in bringing liquor into dry territory, plead guilty, and were fined $100 each. The fines were paid.

James Brown of Walton and Bernice Brown, his wife, parents of Wellman Brown, were indicted on a charge of receiving stolen property, consisting of dishes taken by their son from the summer camp at Island Park. On account of defendants being drug addicts, the Court suspended all proceedings until the October term of court, at which time they are to report, and in the meantime are to endeavor to cure themselves of the habit, and also subject to the visits of the parole officer.

Edward M. Willi, Peakville, indicted for violation of the excise law, interposed a demurrer to the indictment which the Court has overruled.

Fred Brown, East Branch, indicted for rape in the second degree, has not been arraigned, for he is now in jail serving a sentence.

Phebe Soden, the girl taken into custody at the same time, has been committed to a home for wayward girls at Troy, N. Y., as has been her sister, Rena. Humane officer, C. H. Phelps, of Sidney accompanied them to the home.

TOWN BUYS TRACTOR AND TRUCK Hamden Will Use Automobile Money at Delancey.

(From our Hamden cor.)

The town has bought of the International Harvester company on the lease plan, a 15-horsepower, 4-cylinder kerosene tractor for use on the highways of the town.

The cost of the tractor is $2,500, to be paid for at the rate of $8 per day, which is the amount allowed by law when in actual use and which applies on the purchase price of the tractor. William Mallory of Hawleys is operating the machine, which is giving satisfactory service.

At a meeting of the town board May 9 Supervisor Shaw and Justice R. J. Andrews were appointed a committee to purchase a truck for general use on the town highways. The town superintendent finds it difficult to procure horses to deliver his men at different points and figures from a financial standpoint the truck would be a paying investment.

The automobile rebate consisting of $1,111.08 apportioned to the town of Hamden from the county auto fund together with $500 town fund added, will be expended in permanent improvement on the highway, beginning at the state road and running through the village of Delancey, until the fund is exhausted. The work will be done during the fall of the present year. It is confidently expected that considerable assistance will be rendered gratis by residents of that locality in appreciation of the improvement.

AFTON LAKE MYSTERY IS SOLVED AT LAST Development Company a Subsidiary of Ansco Camera Co.

TO ENGAGE IN MAKING FILMS Secrecy Necessary to Protect New Process of Manufacture − Over $2,000,000 Spent in Construction.

The Ansco company of Binghamton, manufactures of cameras and films, is the concern back of the Afton Development company, which for the past two years has been engaged in construction work at Afton Lake, upon which the sum of two million dollars is said to have been expended. Thus is solved at last the mystery which has for so long puzzled the residents of that section, who were left in doubt as to the purpose of the investment of so much money at that place.

The Sidney Enterprise thus describes the company, its accomplishments and future plans: “Nearly $2,000,000 have been spent in construction work and fittings for the 12 large buildings, eight of which are of brick and concrete and the other four of wood. In these buildings from 8 to 24 steamfitters have been at work over a year. The electrical equipment has kept a baker’s dozen of expert electricians busy for the same length of time. All the way from 65 up to 150 mechanics and laborers have been on the job continually. If they knew what they were building for they kept the secret well, but there is a possibility that they did not know. Dr. Axtell of New York, at the head of the Development company work, knew what he was about. He spent money lavishly, and the buildings and equipment are the best that can be secured. He was continually on the job. If a workman got too curious, he was dismissed.

But now plans are completed and the plant is manufacturing. Mr. Stevens of New York, president of the Development company, is also president of the Ansco company.

Mr. Topliff of Binghamton is also vice president of both companies.

He had charge of purchasing the property about the lake, upon which the buildings were erected.

The Ansco company is a well known photographic supply company, with headquarters in Binghamton. They manufacture film for cameras among other products. As you read our story you can draw your own conclusions as to what the Afton mystery is.

First, why did such a large concern locate at Afton? Simply because the water of the Afton Lake was the purest that they could find.

It was absolutly free from mineral matter, and the article manufactured by the Development company must not come in contact with iron in any form. Next, the great secrecy about the matter was due to the fact that Dr. Axtell had a secret process of his own invention that he wished to get under way before there was any chance of infiringment. But something about the plant; As stated, there are 12 buildings of different dimensions and of the best construction.

These buildings are now filled with machinery. This consists mostly of mixing tanks, grinders, presses and breakers. One hundred electric motors furnish the power for these various machines.

There is a well equipped carpenter shop, also a machine shop. There are many leadlined tanks, and also wooden tanks.

The base of the product manufactured is paper. This comes in large rolls. It is run through a machine and shredded into fine pieces. These are blown into a large lead-lined tank and washed for several hours to remove as much of the acid as possible. It is then forced into wooden tanks and rewashed. It is then passed through the driers, grinders, presses and breakers. These machines are located in the various buildings,

and the product is wheeled from building to building in cars. When completed it is a gluey looking compound. At certain stages the compound is highly explosive.

Another feature of the process is the great cleanliness shown. Everything is spick and span, a real dustless shop. A vacuum cleaner is constantly at work cleaning about the premises.

Another feature is that the men now employed have all been broken into the work at the premises.

For several weeks since the equipment was installed they have been practicing the various processes with water, and it was thought that they had the idea down to perfection. The first batch of the real acid which was started through was spilled upon the floor at the very start. It made the employees engaged in that branch hustle for their gas masks. Charles Peterson of New York, who has been superintendent of construction during the erection of the plant and its equipment, has been retained as general superintendent of the plant, and now the Afton development company, a branch of the Ansco Film company, is under headway, and Afton has a manufacture which will place it on the map.

AUTOMOBILE PUMP ENGINE Proposition to Raise $16,000 for Fire Protection − Insurance Rates Raised.

The village board at a special meeting Wednesday evening voted to call a special election on Tuesday, June 3, to vote on the propositions to raise $12,000 for the purchase of an automobile pump engine and equipment at a cost of $12,000 and the installation of an automatic fire alarm system at a cost of $4,000.

The board also passed a resolution prohibiting the building of garages in Walton village unless of fireproof construction. A committee was appointed to draft a building code for the village which will be acted upon at a later meeting.

The Underwriters Association of New York state has announced an increase of 20 per cent in the fire insurance rates in the village of Walton. The circular announcing the increase is as follows: “On account of the inadequate fire protection furnished by the present water supply system of the community all existing specific and minimum rates are hereby increased 20 per cent. This action is effective as of May 18, 1919, at noon, and is made necessary by the failure of the community to carry out the recommendations for improvement made by the association and after due notice to the municipality that such failure would entail the above advance.”

BORDENS AT HAMDEN Creamery Receiving 23,000 Pounds of Milk Daily There.

(From our Hamden cor.)

Nearly 23,000 pounds of milk is being received daily at the Borden plant at Hamden, since opening here May 1st, with a possibility of several more dairies being added soon. Six men are employed and more will be added to the force as rapidly as the supply of milk increases. The two large boilers in their plant here, after 18 years’ service have been condemned, and substituted by a 15-horsepower boiler removed from the Borden plant at Delhi, which was recently installed by Clark Gray of Delhi and assistants. Since closing the creamery January 31, 1918, a large amount of the creamery equipment has been removed to other plants of the company, but will be replaced by more modern machinery. James A. Brundage, who has been in the Borden company’s employ for several years, lately stationed at Chaumont, Jefferson county, has charge of the creamery here, and occupies the flat over J. Chamber’s store.

MISSIONARY INSTITUTE Meeting of Unusual Interest Held in Walton Monday and Tuesday.

The missionary institute held for Delaware Presbytery in the United Presbyterian church, Walton, May 12 to `13, was one of unusual interest. The institute team, composed of ten missionaries from India and Egypt, is home on furlough, but in order to stimulate efforts toward the securing and sending out of the 407 missionaries to the foreign fields, they are spending their vacation conducting institutes in the United Presbyterian Presbyteries.

The opening session on Monday evening was well attended, in spite of the rain and muddy roads, which hindered many from coming from other towns.

“The missionary challenge of today” by Miss Kate Hill and Dr. L. M. Henry was impressively set forth. Miss Hill’s pleasing personality combined with rich experiences makes her a speaker whose message grips the hearts of her audience. Dr. Henry, from his wide and varied experiences as physician and surgeon, made clear how the sin-sick souls were brought in touch with the Savious through the healing of bodily ills.

Tuesday morning after the devotional period, “Needs and Opportunities” was the theme on which Rev. R. E. Hyers, Miss Nellie Smith, Miss Mary Lawrence and Dr. L. M. Henry, each spoke thirty minutes. The afternoon session commenced at 1:30. Address, “Intercession,” by W. T. Henderson, D. D. Miss Hill and Rev. Mills J. Taylor were the other speakers of the afternoon. At 3 o’clock a conference, conducted by the different missionaries was largely attended. This was followed by stereopticon views, shown under the direction of Miss Ella B. Downie and Miss Dora B. Whitely. This closed the afternoon session.

The ladies of the G. A. R. rendered an appreciative service to all, particularly to the ladies of the U. P. church in that they served meals in the church dining room to all guests, thus relieving the ladies of the church in order that they might attend every session of the institute. About 300 were served with dinner and supper.

On Tuesday evening nearly 1,200 people assembled to see the pageant put on by the missionary team. Scenes from mission fields presented in native costume by the missionaries were most interesting and could not fail to bring all into closer sympathy with mission workers in foreign lands.

The board asked for an offering of $50 to defray expenses, and an offering of over $150 was received. But perhaps the greatest satisfaction to the team as well as the several congregations of Delaware Presbytery, was the report of the chairman on resolutions.

This report showed that Delaware Presbytery had heard the challenge to carry on, and had pledged to finance the support of six more missionaries, their share of the “407.”

BLOOD POISONING CAUSES DEATH A. R. Worden of Andes Succumbs to Infection From Thorn.

(From our Andes cor.)

A. R. Worden died at his home on Palmer Hill, Andes, about noon on Monday from blood poisoning. A little over a week ago Mr. Worden removed a thorn from the little finger on his left hand and blood poisoning developed.

The funeral was held on Thursday from his late home at one o’clock and at two o’clock from the M. E. church, the Rev. Fred Hults officiating. Burial was in the Andes cemetery. Mr. Worden leaves a family of eleven children. Mrs. Worden died some two years ago.

USE ARMORY FOR TRAINING

Further Use of High School Auditorium Found Impractical.

The faculty of the Walton high school recently presented a petition to the board of education to consider the need of a new gymnasium. In the petition it was set forth that the high school building in the opinion of the petitioners, is being permanently injured by the vibrations caused by gymnastic exercises in the auditorium; that after three years’ trial it has proved impossible, with the present equipement, to comply with the law and to give physical training work which is worth while; and further that the work of the classes in the rooms below and in the study hall was being seriously impaired by the noise.

A temporary solution to the problem has been made by the signing of a bill by Governor Smith which permits the giving of physical training, when practicable, in any armory of the state, when such armory is within convenient distance from the school.

A committee of the board of education consisting of F. G. Lyon, Mrs. H. W. Retz and R. E Lockwood has been appointed to look into the matter of constructing a gymnasium and to report at the annual school meeting in the summer.

Annual Memorial Service.

The annual union memorial service will be held on Sunday evening, May 25, at 7:30, in Walton Hall. All the patriotic organizations of Walton are most cordially invited to attend in a body as in former years, and also all the returned soldiers and sailors who may not be members of any of these organizations, and occupy seats which will be reserved for them. Rev. Boyd White, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church will deliver the sermon.

Hobart Votes On New School An adjourned meeting of the Hobart school district will be held Saturday evening, May 24, at 7:30 o’clock to vote on a proposition to raise $50,000 for the construction of a new school building.

VOTE FOR STONE CRUSHER Middletown Voters Carry Proposition by Big Majority.

(From our Margaretville cor.)

At the special election for the town of Middletown held at Margaretville Friday, May 9, the proposition was carried to appropriate the sum of $2,550 for the purchase of a stone crusher and equipment.

Of the votes cast 149 were in favor and only 10 against the proposition. The town of Middletown will receive about $2,600 of the automobile license money and as this has to be used for the construction of permanent highways, the purchase of the stone crusher was deemed necessary.

UNADILLA HOUSE BURNS Fire Destroys Home of Erwin Bennett on Tuesday.

(From our Unadilla cor.)

The home of Erwin Bennett and family near Unadilla was completely destroyed by fire last Tuesday night. Mr. Bennett and family have gone into the house adjoining, occupied by Mr. Bennet’s father. Citizens of the town presented the stricken family with useful articles and a substantial sum of money.

Memorial Day Plans.

The final arrangements for the Memorial Day program on Friday, May 30, have not been completed but will be announced next week. Ben Marvin Post, G. A. R., which has charge of the exercises at the cemetery in the morning, has secured Assemblyman Lincoln R. Long of New Kingston to give the address. Dr. George J. Dann of Oneonta will be the speaker at the meeting in Walton hall at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
