Seventh Annual Family Farm Day Highlights Diversity In Agriculture By Rosie Cunningham DELAWARE COUNTY - A sampling of products from 55 farms in Schoharie, Otsego and Delaware Counties were a focus on Aug. 24 in the Northern Catskills. The seventh annual Family Farm Day (FFD), was held on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors exploring the farms could see, touch, and taste firsthand farm-fresh products, activities, and participate in tours including fish farming, beekeeping, maple syrup production, cheese making, milk bottling, processing wool from sheep and cashmere goats, fruit orchards, cider making and more.

book sale by the Franklin Free Library, pie sale by St. Paul Episcopal Church, and Rotary Club barbecue, all touting greater sales and success from previous years. At St. Paul’s, more than 175 pies were made, 100 of which were made by local motherdaughter trio headed by Jeanne DeSilva and her daughters Kara and Audra; a colossal feat for the annual affair. Thousands of books were hauled from the library by volunteers and Franklin varsity soccer players to be sold for one dollar each over the course of a two-day sale, Aug. 24-25. Traditionally, the annual book sale has raised thousands of dollars, the library’s biggest yearly fundraiser. Other local organizations, including the Franklin Community Education Foundation, Treadwell Improvement Club, Delaware County Cares and Trout Unlimited sold raffle tickets and provided information about their organizations. The Treadwell Improvement Club handed out teal and silver pinwheels in observance of national child abuse prevention week. For See New Old Franklin page 7

The water tank on Sheldon Drive located behind the elementary school at Delaware Academy, was set to be repainted last week. After inspecting the inside of the vessel, it was determined that additional work would have to be done on the interior so deterioration does not occur.
Delhi Village Holds Emergency Meeting Regarding Water Tank Inspection Of Interior Of Unit Failed Standards
By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - A special meeting of the board of trustee in the village of Delhi was held on Thursday, Aug. 22. Bill Brown of Delaware Engineering said the exterior of the village water tank, which is located behind the elementary school at Delaware Academy, was set to be repainted. Brown said that once the tank was emptied, an inspection took place to view the state of the in-
terior. “The paint had deteriorated, there was rust on the inside with pitting and corrosion,” he said. “This needs to be fixed to stop deterioration and weakness of the tank.” The tank had been off line because of the anticipated exterior paint work that was contracted. The tank had to be emptied because condensation would effect the paint job. The interior finding is disconcerting, according to the board, because the prior paint job was
done in 2008 and there was a guarantee that the work would not need to be done again for 20 years. Brown filed a claim with the company who originally did the work, making this clear. In the meantime, the village agreed and voted to move forward with Worldwide Industries to redo the work inside of the tank. The board approved the hiring of the corporation for $58,846 with the additional cost of $22,410. See Delhi Water Tank page 5
Retiring OFA Director Celebrated At 6th Annual Senior Fun Day
Senior Citizens Share Pros and Cons Of Life In Delaware County By Lillian Browne DELHI - Nearly 400 senior citizens attended the 6th annual Delaware County Senior Fun Day on Wednesday, Aug. 21, held at 4-H Camp Shankitunk in Delhi. As part of the day’s event’s retiring Office for the Aging (OFA) Director Wayne Shepard was recognized for his 32 years as a Delaware County employee - the last eight years as OFA Director. Delaware County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman and Bovina Supervisor Tina Molé presented Shepard with a certificate of appreciation, reminiscing on Shepard’s hard work, steadfast guidance and optimism which led to the relocation of OFA offices in 2017 from a leased building on Court Street in Delhi to a permanent home with the purchase of a building at 97 Main Street in Delhi, which also serves as the Delhi senior dining and meal prep site. The new location, Molé said, exceeded the county’s expectations. “I hope you are as proud of your accomplishments over the years as Delaware County is,” Molé told Shepard. Congressman Antonio Delgado presented Shepard with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition for his invaluable service to the community and to Delaware County. Shepard began his career with the county as a nurse’s aide at
the then-Delaware County Infirmary. He then became the county’s first male field nurse for Delaware County Public Health and then Supervising Staff Nurse to Director of Patient Services before taking on the role as OFA Director. One of his greatest achievements, he said, is relocating the department into its current head-
quarters. “It was a hard decision for the board of supervisors,” Shepard said of the relocation. But, he continued, it provided more parking spaces, including four handicap parking spaces and the entire space occupied by OFA is handicap-accessible, Shepard said.

Congressman Delgado’s Bipartisan Family Farmer Relief Act Signed Into Law Representative Antonio Delgado’s bill to aid family farmers during downturns in the agriculture economy was signed into law by President Trump. H.R. 2336, The Family Farmer Relief Act, eases the process of reorganizing debt through Chapter 12 bankruptcy rules, a tool created specifically to help family farmers during tough economic times. Delgado introduced the legislation in April with support from House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Sensenbrenner, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson), and Reps. TJ Cox, Kelly Armstrong and Dusty Johnson. This legislation passed the House on July 26, the Senate on Aug. 2, and was signed into law Aug. 23. “Today is a victory for our small and mid-size farmers who now have the flexibility to reorganize their debt and continue operations in what continues to be a challenging time for agriculture. In this era of bitter partisanship, I was proud to lead my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass a bipartisan, commonsense bill to help small farmers in New York’s 19th Congressional District dur-
SINCE 1966
ing this down farm economy. Today, the President signed the Family Farmer Relief Act into law—following bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.” Delgado continued, “I thank my bipartisan, bicameral partners for their work to move this legislation through the House and Senate and to bring this urgent relief to our farmers. While the Family Farmer Relief Act is an important first step—our work is not done. I will continue to fight for small and mid-size farmers across our region during this downturn in the farm economy.” The bill addresses an outdated debt cap that limits eligibility for Chapter 12 bankruptcy relief and has essentially rendered the tool inaccessible to farmers today. Delgado’s bill expands the debt that can be covered under Chapter 12 from $3,237,000 to $10,000,000. The changes reflect the increase in land values, as well as the growth over time in the average size of U.S. farming operations and are meant to provide farmers additional options to keep their doors open during downturns in the farm economy.

The panelists were very happy to have the opportunity to share their stories. It was particularly eye-opening to learn how much they are reeling from criticisms and misunderstandings of their farm practices. I am hoping this is just the beginning of much more public discussion and learning.” La Basse Cour and Kortright Handworks from South Kortright and Del-Rose Farm and Byebrook Farm both from Bloomville were among the participating farms. La Basse Cour, owned by Larry Hepner and Diane Frances, practices regenerative methods in harmony with nature. La Basse Cour is also a bed and breakfast - guests stay in an 1850s Greek Revival farmhouse. The farm animals are rescued cows, horses, ducks, geese and cats. An on-farm store offers eggs, vegetables, dairy products, meat, jams, maple products, honey and multiple crafts made by local artisans. Inside an old carriage barn, Kortright Handiworks houses a community textile studio which offers workshops and retreats. According to Francis, one of the highlights which the location offs are the workshops and jams,and crafts. “Today has been busy, but not crazy,” said Frances. Byebrook Farm, owned by the Deysenroth family, is a dairy farm with 45 Holstein milk cows and 35 head of young stock. The farm has been in the Deysenroth family for eight generations. Raw milk is bottled fresh each morning and ready for roadside customers on County Highway 18. During the farm tour, Paul Deysenroth Sr. treated guests to samples of raw-milk Gouda, as well as several other varieties. Eggs, honey, and baked goods

were also hits at the stand as well on Saturday. “We’ve had quit a few people come buy today - it’s been busy,” said Deysenroth.
Barb Hanselman (The Farmer’s Wife) of Del-Rose Farm, said that she had given many tours throughout the day. “It’s been stop and go or all at once,” she said. Delaware County Dairy Princess Alternate Jillian Hungerford was at Del-Rose on Saturday. She said some of those in attendance played the dairy trivia game they had. “We also have a jeopardy board,” she added. “It’s been a lot of fun.” Del-Rose is a dairy farm which also grows and sells sweet corn, tomatoes, and additional vegetables. Barb Hanselman is famous for her pies, sticky buns and additional treats for individuals to enjoy. The family farm offered samples and many took part in visiting the on-site farm stand.

Stream bank stabilization efforts on the West Branch of the Delaware River adjacent to South Street in the village of Walton began on Friday, Aug. 23. Work crews have installed a “turbidity curtain” south of Bridge Street and are prepping the South Street side of the stream bank for the installation of a steel wall which will prevent further site erosion. Together with the Water Street soil removal project completed earlier this summer, floodwaters will be slowed and have room to spread out south of the business district, as part of the village’s flood mitigation strategy.

ness,” Cochran said with praise for Shepard. Aging successfully, Cochran continued, requires a level of physical engagement, physical activity, exercise and socialization. “Wayne was one of the early trend-setters in developing models of care and program models that allowed us to successfully push out - around the state - what was happening in Delaware County. Wayne is a state treasure,” Cochran said. The annual event is held to bring all senior citizens in Delaware County together in a space where different service providers, businesses and agencies are present to answer any questions seniors might have, Shepard said. Since taking over as director services and programs to seniors have been expanded. Among those programs are the Tai Chi for Arthritis program, which currently has a waiting list. Nearly 600 seniors have participated in the program since it started three years ago, he said. Another program that continues to grow, Shepard said, is the non-emergency medical transportation program. The program is for seniors who do not receive Medicaid. Requirements for participation in the transportation program are that the senior is 60 years old or older and is receiving Medicare. OFA just received a $20,000 grant to expand the program, Shepard said, and those funds will be used to pay volunteer drivers’ mileage reimbursement for an unlimited number of non-emergency medical appointments. Examples of nonemergency medical appointments include routine doctor’s visits, specialty appointments in Albany, Margaretville, Kingston, Oneonta, Delhi and Binghamton, pharmacy visits and lab appointments. Additional volunteer drivers are needed, Shepard continued. Walton seniors Terry Lambrecht, Linda Hall, Mareah Allen and Carolyn Brown attended the annual event and though they had praise for Delaware County as an “easy” place to live, they agreed they would like see expenses for certain things - like inhome health care - made more affordable for those on a fixed income. As for Shepard’s next chapter, he will treat every day of his retirement as a Saturday, he said. “I’m going to do what I want, when I want,” he said. He will take an entire year off, he said, to see what it’s like to be retired and only then, he continued, will he make a decision about what’s next for him. The day’s events included chair yoga, Tai Chi for Arthritis, bingo and line dancing, as well as more than 50 vendors who were on hand to provide seniors with information about their services. Sponsors for the annual event include: The Arc of Delaware County, At Home Care, Inc., Walton Big M, Butts Concrete, Chobani, Clark Companies, College Golf Course at Delhi, Delaware County Senior Council, Delaware National Bank of Delhi, Fidelis, Delhi Telephone Company, Great American of Sidney, MVP Healthcare and Sportsfield Specialties.
DELHI - SUNY Delhi officially started classes on Monday and there are a few building projects and improvements on the campus’ horizon. SUNY Delhi welcomed 1,200 first-time and transfer students selected from over 6,200 applicants. The class hails from 53 of the 62 counties within New York state as well as nine other states and Japan. New students moved into residence halls on Friday, Aug. 23. More than 2,000 returning students moved in on Sunday, Aug. 25. According Riikka Olson, staff writer and photographer for marketing and communications, there is a new Barnes & Noble Café on campus, serving Starbucks, on the second floor of Farrell Student & Community Center. “Bluestone pub and restaurant will be open this semester and is located at the College Golf Course with sweeping views of the Catskills landscape. Bluestone is a partnership between CADI (College Association at Delhi, Inc) and academics to support the hands-on learning experience of our culinary and hospitality students,” said Olson. “The venue will be open to the public.” The School of Veterinary and Applied Sciences is getting a new canine simulator. “This fall, we also will begin phase one of the major remodel of Farnsworth Hall, the vet science building, beginning with the replacement of the cage washer,” said Olson. “We have a new Living Learning Community in DuBois Hall for our Men of Distinction Academy (an initiative to enhance the academic, personal, and social experiences of Men of Color on campus).” A new sculpture entitled “Parallax Totem,” made of Cor-ten steel by artist Donald Gialanella, has been installed in the Agora next to Farrell Student & Community Center. “The reception area of our Health and Counseling Center has been renovated,” Olson added. “This year, the Health and Counseling Center is offering a new series of ‘skills’ workshops for students on adjustment issues, stress reduction, and overall mental health and wellness.” There are various other improvements and upgrades around campus: a new roof on DuBois, completion of phase
two of the emergency generator project, fire alarm upgrades, and heating and cooling systems updates. New programs/curriculum: A new degree in Electrical Construction and Utility Operations (AOS and AAS), a variant of the current Integrated Energy degree. Students will spend their first year studying electrical construction and maintenance, and their second year divided with one semester training as line workers and the other semester working on alternative energies, utilizing the solar array and wind turbine on campus. The new degree was developed in response to industry demand for line workers. Students will spend an entire year developing those skills. A primary component of the new program is the addition of underground work. Since this is a second year option, we will be able to graduate our first class in May 2020. • The Business and Technology Management program (BBA) now allows students to specialize through one of two tracks: Business or Technology. • SUNY Delhi has a new articulation agreement with Ross University’s School of Veterinary Medicine in Saint Kitts. Thanks to the agreement, SUNY Delhi students who successfully complete a bachelor degree in Veterinary Technology are guaranteed entrance into the Veterinary School at Ross to pursue a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. • Construction students will be building several more Tiny Homes for Otsego County this year. They will also be working on several exciting field projects this fall. • School of Nursing recently received the Center of Excellence designation from the National League for Nursing. The prestigious recognition is awarded to institutions that consistently demonstrate excellence in nursing education and raise the bar for all nursing education. “SUNY Delhi prides itself on its dedicated faculty, excellent student support services, and hands-on learning,” said Olson. “Our programs respond to the latest needs in the workforce, allowing our students to graduate with extremely marketable skills that employees are looking for. Many of our programs are top ranked in the state and nationwide. We offer a tight-knit, inclusive, and supportive college experience.”

and dancing. “The festival went phenomenally well, with some 500 guests, far beyond our expectations, as were revenues,” said Hobart Rotarian Mary Van Valkenburg. “The response from the public was amazing. I have never seen such a crowd of happy people. The split between locals and tourists was about 75:25. People kept praising the Rotary for providing an event where the community could come together and have fun, saying every town should have a festival like this, and they’re looking forward to next year. My favorite part was watching the children in an idyllic, pastoral scene scattered about the grass inventing creative uses for hula hoops and jump ropes. And people of all ages square dancing while smiling neighbors sat around on hay baled watching them. All truly joyful. And the food and brew were fabulous - we ran out.” Aside from the Hobart Rotary, restaurants in Hobart and the book village also participated. The restaurants created sausage dishes for their menus and

the Hobart Fire Department also took part. “I heard back so far from one of our local restaurants that customers spilled over to them as well, and everyone was saying great things about the fest,” said Van Valkenburg. Festivities began in Hobart at 4 p.m. at 101 Maple Avenue and food was served until 7 p.m. - entertainment, music and dance continued until 9. “I am exhausted,” said Stamford Councilman Dave Post, who helped throughout the day. “This is a great turnout - we didn’t really expect this many.” “I think it went well - it exceeded our expectations and we were even low on food. This is something we will be prepared for next year. We had many visitors from downstate who attended the day as well,” said VanValkenburg. “We wanted to encourage economic development.” Proceeds from the festival will benefit the South Kortright Central School Backpack Program, the Rotary Exchange Student Program and Hobart Rotary local projects.
Good day, Well, we’ve had our taste of Fall, even though it doesn’t come until Sept. 22. Believe it or not, you could see your breath Saturday morning at 3:15 a.m.. It was 45 degrees and definitely sweatshirt weather until about 9 a.m. Friday was 70 degrees, Saturday 68 degrees and today, Sunday, a little warmer, starting at 53 degrees and maybe low 70s. So we had low 80s Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, some precipitation - enough for gardens and lawns. Beginning of last week the humidity was awful, the end of the week quite comfortable. This week we’ll stay in the 70s all week, nighttimes in the 50s. A good chance of rain Wednesday and Wednesday night. Fact It won’t be long until leaves start changing. Two things cause the change; the amount of daylight and the temperature. Whether we like to or not, daylight gets shorter. August lost one hour and 17 minutes, September is even worse! We’ll see what September brings - usually there is one warm week. History has shown that for us, Columbus Day weekend is usually peak for color - we’ll see! ~Frank

Public Comment Invited Regarding State Superfund Site In Sidney NYSDEC has invited the public to comment regarding the proposed No Further Action at the State Superfund Site on Delaware Avenue in Sidney. A fact sheet that invites the public to comment on a “no further action” remedy proposed for the Amphenol Facility #413010, Sidney, Delaware County, within New York’s State Superfund Program and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Program is
located at www.dec.ny.gov/data/ der/factsheet/413010nfaprop. pdf. NYSDEC will accept public comments through Sept. 20. In addition, NYSDEC has scheduled a public meeting on Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Sidney Civic Center board room, 21 Liberty Street, Sidney, to discuss the proposed remedy and accept public comments. More details are on the fact sheet.
The $58,846 cost is for Worldwide Industries Corp. to sandblast and remove coating on the upper two rings of the shell and 4’ perimeter of the roof. Various coats will be applied and the tank will be re-disinfected. The cost includes materials, labor and grit removal. For $22,410 the lower three rings of the shell will also be done to ensure that this system stays intact for 12-18 years. A bacteriological test and VOC testing will be conducted. Any heavy pits that may need to be filled will be done at an additional price of $800 per gallon, which includes
labor. “Work has started today,” said Brown on Tuesday. “As of now, everyone has water. Work will take about two weeks and then testing will have to take place for bacteria and VOC. The village wells are on line, as well as the tank by the jail and the treatment system. Ideally, I wanted this work to be done in July, before SUNY Delhi was back in session. We will be working with Delaware Academy through this because they will be back next week. We are working to mitigate any problems.”

Colchester Board Approves Downsville Water Upgrades, Truck Repairs By Vicky Klukkert
The Colchester Town Board approved upgrades to the Downsville Water District and funds to repair a truck at its Aug. 21 meeting. At the Aug. 7 meeting, Jeff Francisco of Delaware Engineering told the board that the only way to fund the upgrades to the Downsville Water District (DWD) is to take out more money in a no-interest loan. The town would like to switch water supplies from the well currently being used to back to the springs that had been being using and build a water filtration plant to comply with New York State Department of Health regulations. The town received a grant totaling $318,000. The engineering study was $72,500, leaving approximately $246,000 for the project. Bids were received in March, the lowest of which was $390,000. Supervisor Art Merrill said he had gone over the figures and if the town borrows $150,000
for 30 years, it would raise the budget $5,000 each year, which in turn would raise the rates of each water user approximately $22 per year. User rates have already been raised $20 per year in anticipation of the project. Board members spent the past two weeks asking DWD customers their opinions about upgrading the water district. “Everyone I talked to didn’t mind paying more for better water, but were upset that their water meters don’t work,” said board member Julie Markert. Board member Janet Champlin said she got the same answer from residents. Merrill agreed that some meters needed replacing or repairing and that the increase may help to pay for those replacements or repairs. Merrill explained that when a water meter breaks, the resident is assessed a flat-rate fee based on the amount they were using. Markert moved to borrow the additional money needed do the
upgrades on the DWD and it was passed 4-0; Councilman Gregory Lavorgna was on vacation. The rate increase will begin with the January 2020 bill. After discussion, the town board voted to repair a 2012 Ram 5500 used by the town’s highway department. The truck needs its exhaust manifold, converter and six fuel injectors repaired or replaced. The estimate for the repairs is $14,000. Councilman Mark Mattson asked how much a new or used engine would be, and highway Superintendent Kenneth Eck said he would research prices. The board agreed to purchase a new engine if the price didn’t exceed $20,000, otherwise it was agreed to fix the truck for the estimate. Merrill announced that work has started on the Downsville Park Paddle Trail Development Project. “The highway department has started to demolish the structures,” said Merrill.

La Basse Cour And Kortright Handiworks Offers And Creates Goods From The Land
Rosie Cunningham/The Reporter
Julie Rockefeller of Hobart dyes yarn from products derived from the land. By Rosie Cunningham SOUTH KORTRIGHT - From land to hand to finished product, La Basse Cour offers a mixed bag of farm to table experiences. The farm, which is owned by Larry Hepner and Diane Frances, practices regenerative methods in harmony with nature - raising vegetables and fruits, sheep, and goats for fiber. La Basse Cour is also a bed and breakfast where guests stay in a 1850s Greek Revival farmhouse. The farm animals are rescues, from the cows, the horses, to the ducks, geese and cats. There is also an on-farm store which offers eggs, vegetables, dairy products, meat, jams, maple products, honey and multiple items made by local artisans. Inside of an old carriage barn, Kortright Handiworks houses a community textile studio which offers workshops and retreats. According to Frances, one of the highlights which the location offers are workshops for jams and crafts. She said just that morning, Julie Rockefeller, who leads knitting classes and uses the wool from Cecil, the sheep at La Basse Cour, utilized indigo from a garden on the premises to dye the fiber. “She uses ice water instead of hot water because it is more sustainable,” said Frances. “The indigo is more of a green shade, not the blue-green indigo people are accustomed to. To achieve that, we would have to use a lot of chemicals, which we don’t want to do. Rockefeller uses dandelions, avocado pits, goldenrod, onion skins - “it is amazing, the different colors.” “Once you start this, you start seeing things as you never have before,” said Rockefeller. “You look at the food on your plate differently and things growing on the side of the road differently. You see the colors from stuff that has been dyed - and the different shades of Romney wool have varying shades,” Frances said. “It’s more attractive for me to do the dying process in an ice bath because I don’t need to use
the propane - it takes much less water and no heat,” said Rockefeller, who shredded the indigo for the process. “A lot less water, like a tenth.” “Two years ago Julie asked, what do I do with the fiber?” said Francis. “I hated going to farmer’s markets and people would ask me ‘Where do you get your yarn?’ I would say ‘Anywhere I can,’” said Rockefeller. “I look at the yarn I had before, I think that is just waiting for the landfill. Now, when people ask me where I get my yarn, I explain where it comes from - it enables the story to be told and why it is so important to me. My passion to knit has always been the same, but it deepened the whole enjoyment of the experience. I don’t have a farm or a building like this - this place allows me the freedom to spread out and be on the farm.” Cecil is the “poster child” for the white fleece which Rockefeller uses. “Cecil was one of the first sheep on the farm,” said Frances. “When I work with the wool I think of how much work goes into it,” said Rockefeller. “I see what the shearer does and the work that goes into feeding and caring for the animal, the vet bills, and the work done at the mill (Battenkill Fibers Carding and Spinning Mill) - when it’s spun. They charge by the pound going in - and not the pound coming out.” Francis pulled out a large bag of fleece, filled to the brim. “This is from one shear,” she explained. La Basse Cour and Rockefeller attended the Delaware County Fair and displayed an exhibit in the human ecology tent. “We’ll be using it again at the West Kortright Centre,” said Rockefeller. “It details how we get from sheep to suit.” Frances said they operate a “regenerative” farm. “The bedding even goes back into Larry’s compost,” she said. “We do our own hay - everything we do is rotational grazing and cover cropping to make the soil even healthier to make it more productive.”

More Than Traditional Dairy... Family Farms Showcased At 7th Annual Family Farm Day

Farmers have diversified and capitalized on consumer demands to eat locally produced food and to know where their food comes from. As a means to assist the agriculture industry and support agri-
Throughout the day 18 Delaware County farms welcomed visitors and provided them with tours, samples and an opportunity for a firsthand experience at farm life. This year, farmers agreed collectively, there were far more visitors than there were at last year’s event. And, more visitors, they said, mean more customers, which is good for everyone.

growers, beekeepers, meat producers, maple syrup makers and cider producers participated in the event. Diversified Dairy Walton’s Eternal Flame Farm, which began as a traditional dairy farm, and is home to a 100-head herd - with six different breeds - has diversified his operation to include an on-site farm store stocked with Eternal Flame brand milk and ice cream, which is pasteurized and produced on the farm. Owner Lenny Pieper diversified his operation in response to the flailing traditional dairy market and as part of his desire to make his business a successful one that could withstand the whims of consumer tastes and federal milk prices. Everything that he sells in his farm store is locally grown, produced and grown. Those items include beef, pork and chicken, eggs, milk, ice cream, hard cheese, yogurt, soap, jam vegetables and locally produced honey. The only time his products leave the farm is when they are being readied for
sale and when they are sold to the consumer. He has also partnered with neighboring farmers in a swapand-sell arrangement to expand his market reach. It’s one farmer helping another, he said. The state of traditional dairy farming has been on the decline for some time, Pieper said. That is due in part, he said, to milk prices remaining largely unchanged since the 1970s, while everything else, like diesel fuel, machinery and feed, is five-times more expensive. Eternal Flame Farm is located at 61 Conklin Road in Walton. For more information call 410.459.9198. Ugly is Good With the ever-increasing popularity of plant-based eating, Birdsong Farm in Delhi is blooming. Through an agreement with Cooperative Extension of Delaware County, farm owners have contracted with CCE for a raised-bed community garden, operated by 12 volunteers who share the garden’s harvest. Companion and rotational planting ensures a continuous crop of pesticide-free, beyond-organic produce, Crim said. No pesticides, even those that are permitted to be used in certified-organic operations, are used. And that, Crim said, can make for some ugly vegetables. Ugly is good, she said, and in the case of produce grown at Birdsong Farm it means that vegetables are healthier. The raised bed design of the community gardens makes for less back-breaking planting, weeding, watering and harvesting and consumers will find a variety of heirloom, pest-resistent and pollinatorfriendly varieties not commonly seen or sold locally. Marigolds are also planted throughout the raised beds as a natural pest repellent. Chris Mitchell of Eagle Hollow Farm is the on-site beekeeper and said the hives are humming. Though it might not be the case for other areas of the country, the bee population is thriving in Delaware County. All of her hives “over-wintered” well. In addition to maintaining the hives, she is also an educator. “Honey has lots of “bee” vitamins,” Mitchell quips.

She is looking to expand her offerings by collaborating with a nearby cow dairy to use its milk to make different products for sale. That, she said, will both benefit her farm and the neighbors farm. The farm was named for Wright’s daughter, Jessie, age 10. Jessie is an integral part of the operation and even milks the goats by herself. She recommends the rosemary and garlic flavored goat cheese, spread on crackers.

In contrast to last year’s three visitors, Wright reported over 100 visitors by 2 p.m. She attributes that, partially, to the farm’s relocation to state Highway 28 in Andes, from the former Perch Lake Road location. Location is key, she said, but so are efforts at marketing as well as responding to consumer demands.

Speed Zone Change, Town Pool, Fire Tower Discussed In Delhi By Rosie Cunningham
DELHI - The Delhi town pool, discussion over the fire tower and additional business topped the agenda at the Delhi town board meeting. Delhi Town Supervisor Mark Tuthill presented the board with a resolution regarding a speed zone change per request of the New York State Department of Transportation. The road in question is 1.6 miles and is on New York State Route 10 between Hamden Hill Road and Peakes Brook Road. Tuthill said he would sign the resolution before providing it to Delaware County Department of Public Works Commissioner Sue McIntyre. Mike Martucci and Tom Corlett of the Michael & Erin Martucci Family Foundation were present at the meeting. Martucci introduced himself and the foundation to the board and said he has worked with the local 4-H camp in the past. According to him, the foundation helps projects which fall
within the categories of education, women and children advocacy, agriculture and job creation. Tuthill said he had spoken to Martucci, who offered the town of Delhi assistance with purchasing pool equipment. The board accepted the grant for the purchase of the discussed pool equipment. Tuthill presented the board with the village of Stamford’s pool handbook. Councilman Al Perkins said the Delhi Pool has been using a handbook according to the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH)guidelines. Perkins added that he would like the NYS DOH guidelines and the Stamford’s pool handbook to be incorporated into one book and said this will be a job for the PAC Committee, who will bring the final handbook back to the board for approval. Speed bumps for the pool parking lot have been received, the PAC Committee will take care of them and install them. Peg Baldwin said the lifeguards are dedicated but some of the employees are going back to college
or starting high school sports. The security system is nearly up and-running, added Baldwin. Larry Govendo donated labor and shelves for the system to be installed at the pool. Richard Gumo took privilege of the floor: He said at the July meeting the board adopted a resolution regarding the Catskill Mountain Hiking Club (CMC). He argued that the resolution was not provided to the public prior to the meeting, nor was it on the agenda to be discussed and he was unable to prove the details prior to the adoption. He has since gotten a copy and questioned the board as to the proposal that was submitted by the CMC to the Department of Environmental Conservation. Tuthill said no application has been filed with the city by CMC, there has only been an overview submitted. Gumo questioned why the town was getting an easement for the proposed fire tower if it is not a town project. Tuthill said that the town agreed to do the project if all the money had been raised and that the
town is not responsible for the cost of the fire tower. Gumo said he would have liked it worded as such and he added that the town is assuming liability of the private project. He added that under Article 8 of the New York Constitution, it forbids a municipality to contribute to a private project. Tuthill said the town attorney has reviewed the resolution and that the town is not on the “hook” for any money - they can raise money to build the tower, maintain it, and if not enough money is raised, the project will not take place. The town is not leasing the tower until the money is raised. In other business: Supervisor Tuthill said the Heart of the Catskills Humane Society had its annual inspection and everything was satisfactory. Councilman Bill Cairns said there will be a Citizen’s Preparedness Training to be held Thursday, Oct. 10 at 6 p.m. The event is sponsored by Delaware County Department of Emergency Services, the town of Delhi, the Delhi Fire Department
and Delaware Academy. It will teach the community members the things that need to be ready in the event of a natural disaster or emergency. The training is backed by Homeland Security and every family that attends will receive a kit to take home with them. Councilmen Perkins and Cairns had two meetings with the union and a contract has been established for the next four years. They will get a .60 cent raise each year over the next four years and the union agreed to increase the line items for tools by $400 staring on Aug. 1.The mechanic’s salary has been increased to $23.15 and in January, he will get an additional increase. The deputy highway superintendent rate was agreed to go to $2,500 from $1,800. There is no update regarding improvements which are slated to be made to the courtroom as SUNY Delhi is not yet in session. However, a bid was received for the ATM at $250. Cairns said he will check on matters regarding insurance of the machine.
Sidney’s Superintendent Bullock Eyes Successful School Year, Future For The District By Allison Collins Walking the halls of Sidney Central School District alongside newly appointed superintendent Eben Bullock, he stops to greet each staff member by name while gesturing at recent building improvements. Hearing Bullock speak of his pride in the district, such fondness for the people and places therein seems only fitting. Bullock, entering his 11th year with the 1,206-student district, was named superintendent at a June 11 board of education meeting, starting officially on July 1. Previously, Bullock, 40, served as the district’s junior/senior high school principal. Bullock, a Port Crane resident originally from Jasper, started at Sidney in 2009 after Corey Green, administrator at the time, piqued his interest. “He called me up and I’d just finished my administrative degree (at Ithaca College)... and he said, ‘I think you’d be great,’” Bullock recalled. “I applied, got it and kind of fell in love with the district. I saw an opportunity for some great change, with an academic focus.” According to a district statement, Sidney’s graduation rate has increased by 10 percent, from 81 to 91, during Bullock’s tenure. Additionally, the statement notes, “academic achievement of all students has increased, (with) more students taking and passing the Regents exams and an increasing number of students achieving mastery.” Before Sidney, Bullock worked for seven years as a health and physical education teacher in the
Binghamton City School District, where he also became the Safe & Drug-Free Schools Coordinator. Bullock said he was among three candidates considered for the SCSD superintendent position, following a “full-blown search” overseen by Syracusebased educational consulting firm Castallo & Silky. Bullock signed a three-year contract. “I’m really glad they did it that way, because I think it prevented any conversation about my being a shoo-in; I went through the same process as everyone else,” he said. “I was screened by the search consultants, I met with the board and I went through a full day of meeting with six committees. From there, they narrowed it down to three and then they had the final board of education interviews.” Though Bullock, husband to wife Kerri and father to Kaylee, one, and Brendan, three, said his family ties left him on the fence about assuming such a significant administrative role, his belief in the district was concretizing. “I was 39 years old at the time with a one-year-old at home,” he said. “I loved what I was doing (as a principal) and thought I’d stay there for another five to eight years and then consider it … but when I talk about the Sidney Central School District, I get excited. I get excited about where we were, where we are and where we’re going to go.” “I come back to the opportunities these kids have here and it’s tremendous,” he continued. “I truly believe in it and that’s why I decided to apply - because I believe in the school system and I believe in this district.”
Bullock said, despite starting mid-summer, he’s already received enthusiastic feedback. “There’s been overwhelming support,” he said. “I’ve had parents reaching out saying congratulations and the teachers and administrative team have really embraced me going for this job.” “In May, the voters approved an $8.5 million capital project,” Bullock continued. “We’ve had a zero percent tax levy for the last eight years and we did go out last year for a .5 percent increase... so we had a capital project, a new superintendent and a .5 percent increase, and we had more ‘yes’ votes than we’ve ever had. That just shows me that the community has support for and belief in the school district.” Bullock said he’s keen to pick up where outgoing superintendent Dr. William Christensen left off. Christensen headed the district for eight years, beginning in 2011. Christensen, who finished the 2018-’19 school year, announced his departure in December last year, Bullock noted. “Dr. C came in and we just took off,” he said. “It was really his leadership that challenged us to think differently... and, for the last 10 years, we’ve been living this transformation. (During the departure process), he really involved me in making some of the decisions that were going to impact the district this school year: staffing models, understanding the budget cycle, the capital project that was approved in May and understanding the moving parts of that and operations.” Bullock said he’s starting as superintendent focused mainly on two things: rolling out a comprehensive school counseling

It’s really about how to embrace the whole child in all aspects, not just the classroom.” “We’re asking what that looks like in terms of student support - when they get on the bus, see a custodian or a teacher’s aide - so it’s more of a student support system that we’re going to drive through school counseling. We’ve had planning sessions this summer... and that will be a district-wide initiative led by school counselors, instructional specialists, principals and teachers.” That program, he noted, will be unveiled in September and will use #warriorpride on district social media. Regarding his secondary focus, Bullock said, he hopes to deepen those roots already sown and make districtwide an agricultural effort started at the elementary level. “We had a lot of cool ideas in the past, but the implementation plans were not that strong,” he said, “so the idea is to have these ag initiatives supported in K through 12 for sustainability. That’s the big piece.” “It wasn’t tied in to any curriculum and it was primarily elementary students (in the Green Thumb Growers Guild) that did it,” Bullock continued. “(Advisers) Josh Gray and Kim Corcoran have done a brilliant job, almost single-handedly... but now that next step needs to happen to make it sustainable.” For its agricultural initiatives, Bullock noted, SCSD has partnered with the Rural Health
Network, Cornell Cooperative Extension and the WCDO Workforce. Efforts he said, have included an aquaponic growing system, construction of a hoop house, raised-bed gardens, a student-run farmers’ market and a community garden. “It’s really now about how agriculture has evolved into 2019 and how we can embrace it,” he said. “Something we’re going to pay particular attention to is how we can maximize the harvest to get our kids to benefit in the cafeteria.” Bullock said he hopes also to further school-community connections. A bus safety event planned with help from village law enforcement is slated for late September, he noted, and a disaster preparedness event coordinated with village officials will take place in October. While other rural districts struggle with fiscal challenges, dropping enrollment and ailing academics, Bullock said, Sidney remains poised for success. “Dr. C has done a brilliant job of leaving this district on a path for long-term sustainability,” he said. “I’ve been a part of that movement with him with high academic levels for all kids... and not many rural schools can say they have increased enrollment. I can’t name one.” “We have more tuition-paying kids than ever and there are housing opportunities in Sidney,” he continued. “The district is strong and if you look at why people move to a particular area, the school system is an important variable.” “I am a little bit biased,” Bullock said, “but there’s an unbelievable school district in Sidney, New York.” For more information or district updates, visit scsd.org, find “Sidney Central School District” on Facebook or follow @SidneyCentral on Twitter.

‘Principaled’ In Walton Central School New Leadership Team for 2019-20 By Lillian Browne WALTON - Walton Central School (WCS) students will begin the 2019-20 school year with three new principals. Incredibly excited about the new hires - all who have roots in the district Interim Superintendent Larry Thomas said they all get along with each other and have good status with their colleagues in the district. “We’ve spent the summer really coalescing and coming together, Thomas said. “We’re ready to provide high quality service to our students and our community and to have a united direction as we move forward and evolve as a school district.” Townsend Elementary School Principal Amanda Hoover has replaced outgoing Principal Mike Snider. Hoover has been a district employee for approximately 15
years and most recently returns to the district from BOCES. She’s excited to build on relationships she’s developed over the years as well as build new relationships, she said. Adam Hoover, a native Waltonian and before taking on the role of Middle School Principal, was the district’s Director of Special Education. Prior to that role, Hoover taught sixth and eighth grades. He is a member of the WCS class of 1998. It’s important to be able to collaborate, Hoover said, not just with other members of the administrative team, but with others in the district. It’s also important, he said, to develop relationships and partnerships with the community. Art Loomis, the former Dean of Students, is beginning his fifth year in the district and taking over as High School Principal.

He’s been a coach for a variety of sports teams at WCS and consistency and stability will define his new role. The role of principal, Adam Hoover said, is similar to that of a sports team coach. “We’re putting our students and staff in the best positions to be successful,” he said.
“We believe that students are the most important people in the building,” Loomis said, speaking on behalf of the new principals. Jane O’Shea, director of curriculum instruction and assessment, also joins the administrative team at WCS, Thomas said. O’Shea will work closely with all of the principals.
New Dean of Students is Ryan Ashlaw, having taught at WCS for five years as an art teacher. Rounding out the new hires is Meg Hungerford who takes over for Tim Maguire as the new Business Manager. This new leadership team, Thomas concluded, is key to the success of the district.

Members of the Navy Band “Country Current,” who played at Delaware Academy on Aug. 21. From left to right: MU1 (Musician First Class) Joseph Friedman on guitar, MU1 Haley Stiltner on banjo, MU1 Henry Johns on pedal steel guitar, and MU1 Kenneth Ray Horton on guitar. By Jesse Hilson Country Current, the unit of the Navy Band dedicated to playing country and bluegrass music, performed at Delaware Academy’s auditorium on the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 21 with over 500 people in attendance. The Andes Library brought the band to the area to commemorate the Andes bicentennial, but a larger venue was needed so it was moved to Delaware Academy, where it coincided with the school’s bicentennial as well. Country Current was invited to the area through the efforts Pamela West-Finkle, the director of the community music & arts network, Andes Library staffer and ex-military musician along with another library staffer, Kari Haugeto. West-Finkle was a bassoonist in the Army Band in the 1980s and Haugeto was a singer with the Naval Academy Band for several years. “We knew that military band
concerts had to be free and thought it would be a great way to celebrate on a low budget,” WestFinkle said. “We looked online and contacted the Navy Bands last November in hopes they might consider performing in our community. They informed us at the end of June that they chose our community as one of eight stops on their national tour.” West-Finkle specifically asked for Country Current, saying that she knew the band would be right for the area because a combination of a military band along with country and bluegrass would be very popular for the Catskills. In addition to playing country and bluegrass favorites, the band played a medley of songs from each branch of the military, asking veterans from each branch to stand up while “their” song was playing. “We are so happy that there were so many veterans in the audience,” West-Finkle said after the performance. “Community music programming is very important to our library, so over-
all I think it was a huge success.” Country Current has seven musicians: MU1 (Musician 1st Class) Kenneth Ray Horton on guitar and lead vocals, MU1 Haley E. Stiltner on banjo, MU1 Joseph M. Friedman on guitar, MU1 Daniel J. Stewart on bass, MU1 Christina Catalanotto on drums, MU1 Henry Johns on pedal steel guitar, and MUCS (Senior Chief Musician) Patrick J. White on fiddle, mandolin and vocals.

HANCOCK - A 10-year old child who was rescued by the Hancock Volunteer Fire Department Rope Rescue Team following a fall from Jensen Ledges in Hancock on Saturday, Aug. 24, was released from a pediatric trauma center on Monday, Aug. 26, and is expected to make a full recovery, according to a statement from the Hancock Volunteer Fire Department. Volunteers responded to a call for a child that had fallen from the waterfall overlook, on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 3:25 p.m., according to department spokesman Blaise Bojo. Within 12 minutes of 911 emergency dispatch, crews arrived at the scene where the rope rescue team performed a high angle rescue operation. The child was airlifted to a pediatric trauma center and the department was back in service at approximately 6:30 p.m. The Hancock Volunteer Fire Department continues to build skills and membership in its rope rescue team, Bojo said, when it became clear nearly two years ago that Hancock was becoming a tourist destination for outdoor recreation. There are currently 12 members on the rope rescue team and more are being trained, he said.
Hancock Volunteer Fire Department was assisted by New York State Forest Rangers, Hancock Ambulance Service, Delaware County Department of Emergency Services, New York State Office of Emergency Management, Equinunk Fire Department, Long Eddy Fire Department, Deposit Fire Department, Upper Delaware Ambulance Service and the New York State Police.

Mountain A.C. Drops Two in Grahamsville GRAHAMSVILLE - More than 100 people turned out last Saturday in Grahamsville to watch the Mountain Athletic Club (M.A.C.) of Fleischmanns square off with the Atlantic Base Ball Club of Brooklyn. The event was sponsored by the Time and the Valleys Museum and the first match was played by the rules of 1864, long before gloves were used in baseball and when a “lemon peel” stitched ball was pitched underhand and could be caught on one “bound” for a “hand” (19th-century term for an out). The second contest was played according to rules printed for professional base ball in 1895 by A.G. Spaulding & Bros. “By the late 19th century pitchers were throwing overhand and fielders were using floppy leath-
er gloves, but foul balls mostly were still not considered a strike against the batter,” states Collin “Stumpy” Miller, Captain of the M.A.C. Prior to the game, Miller was interviewed by WAMC Northeast Public Radio for a future podcast on New York baseball history sponsored by the New York State Museum in Albany. Miller said 1895 is the era of choice for the M.A.C. as it was the year of team’s founding in present-day Fleischmanns (formerly named Griffins Corners). The Atlantics - who play around 50 games in a typical season - took both games of the doubleheader with scores of 16-9 and 20-7. On Saturday, August 31, the M.A.C. will play their final home Photo By Andrew Stoll Photography

Vote For Change In Colchester
In October 2018, the cell tower people parked a piece of heavy equipment at the bottom of our driveway for over a month. We advised Art Merrill and asked that it be removed. Art Merrill asked Officer Cawley (Colchester Police) to look into it. After nearly another week of nothing happening, I went looking for Officer Cawley. He said he would look into it. I then contacted Art Merrill and asked to get the owner of the backhoe ticketed and get it removed by the end of the following day or we would have it towed to the municipal building. He said we could not do that; I said watch us! We then learned that the owner couldn’t be ticketed since the police had no tickets. Wait, you pass an ordinance against commercial vehicle parking and do not give our police tickets? You just cannot write this stuff! To make a long story short, Art Merrill finally had tickets printed and the backhoe was removed by the cell tower people. Recently my husband and I were away and came home to find 43 video surveillance photos of heavy equipment parked well into our paved driveway for some time. The cell tower people seem to have no problem damaging our driveway; we advised both the Sheriff and Colchester Police. We spent a con-
Services for the DeLancey, Hamden and West Delhi churches during the month of September will be held in DeLancey Church at 11 a.m. After she spent a week in Albany hospital we’re glad to have Mary Lou Oliver back home and on the mend.

She has been happy to have her son Ted Burczak from Ohio and her daughter and husband Jan and Suzie Kratky from Raleigh, N.C. here to help with some chores and for a great family visit. Katie Anderson from N.J. came this week to visit and to celebrate her birthday with her mother Cindy Mostert. Katie, who will be leaving for college in California soon got to say goodbye to her grandmother, Gert Mostert.

siderable amount of money paving this driveway and it is not meant to have tractor trailers carrying heavy slabs of slate/concrete and other equipment for the cell tower people to drive and turn around on. We took the photos to the Sheriff ’s Department who in turn gave them to the Colchester Police. We asked that written warnings be given to the trespassers since the photos had the company name/address/phone number on the vehicles. We also had the license plate numbers and photos of the individuals who were driving these vehicles (they were walking around). We spoke with Officer Cawley on Aug. 9, 12, 13, 14 and 26, 2019, requesting that he issue a written “warning” to these individuals who were trespassing, but to date, he has not complied. These people were trespassing, plain and simple; our town leaders refuse to obey the Laws of NY State again because it’s a “good ole boys’ club” here in Colchester. We are tired of having our property destroyed. On Aug. 19, we contacted the NY State Police and they are now investigating and will handle the written warnings. We are waiting for the State Trooper to provide us with the copy of the warnings. We need to change things in this town by speaking up and getting out and voting in November. RUTH WILHOWSKY DOWNSVILLE There’s a new sign on the corner of Hwy. 10 and Co. Rte. 2 depicting the DeLancey Church. The “new” DeLancey U.P. Church, dedicated October 1897, is of Gothic design with four gables. It is 50 by 70 feet with a tower 12 by 12, painted French gray, with white trim. The auditorium is 42 by 50 with a Sunday school room in front, 18 by 30 feet separated by sliding doors, so arranged that both rooms may be thrown into one, giving a seating capacity of 400. The audience room is finished in oak, including wainscoting, casings, doors, etc., giving evidence of skilled workmanship. The walls are smoothly plastered and decorated. The ceiling is of metal, a pretty design and handsomely tinted: this work was done by Wood Brothers of Utica, who are artists in this line. The audience room is sealed in a semicircle with seats of elm finished and antiqued. This Sunday school room is finished in oak with decorated walls and ceiling and seated with chairs. A basement under the whole structure gives ample room for furnace, kitchen, dining room, parlor, etc. Grandma’s recipe: Canadian Chili Sauce, a recipe given to me years ago by the late Mary Combs. I like it very much. 8 quarts ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced, 6 cups celery cut up, 4 cups onions cut up, 2 green peppers cut up and put in large bowl. 1/4 cup salt sprinkled over the veggies and let stand overnight. Drain and discard juice. Place in large pot and add 2 1/2 cups brown sugar, 2 1/2 cups white sugar, 2 Tblsp. mustard seed, 1/8 tsp. pepper, 2 cups vinegar. Bring
The State Of Our Unions: Labor Day 2019 CEOs and corporate interests ended up awakening a sleeping giant, and we will all be better off for it. What we learned when we talked with our members is that while we’re not perfect, and still have work to do to improve our union, by the same token our members still want us around. They sleep better knowing someone’s there who will have their backs and fight back against the big money interests trying to take away more of their rights and benefits. Our movement has always been about leveling the playing field to tip the scales of power more in favor of the working women and men who built our country and our working and middle classes. They are the folks we celebrate today. As we recognize the important contributions of American workers to our country, we also recognize the important contributions of our labor movement in improving their lives. We encourage all workers to give labor unions a second look. We are the only people working hard to preserve the American dream, fighting against the income inequality that puts way too much money in the pockets of the wealthy... money they’re picking out of our pockets. If you think you’re getting a raw deal (we all
By Danny Donohue Last year as we celebrated Labor Day, we were waiting for the fallout from a Supreme Court decision, pushed by powerful anti-worker interests, designed to “defund and defang” workers and our unions. People wondered whether the labor movement could survive. They were looking to get rid of us by taking away our power and our rights to organize and bargain collectively. This Labor Day, as the leader of one of New York’s largest worker unions, let me be clear, it didn’t work. I am proud to report that the state of our unions is stronger than ever. While they theorized we might stay quiet about workers having the choice to stay members of unions or not, we did the opposite. We didn’t shy away from difficult conversations with our members, we went out to their front porches and started them. The fact of the matter is we’ve held tens of thousands of conversations with our members over the past few years. The result? Our union is gaining, not losing, members. The efforts of the anti-worker this all to a boil and cook slowly, 15 minutes. Put in jars and seal while hot. My thoughts of the week: Walton Fair is now over and all the kids had a fun time and except for a couple showers the weather was real nice for it... now it’s time to think about school coming up very soon. College is now back in session after a short summer. I hope all have noticed the new roof on our town hall. Instead of shingles its a darker color metal roof and looks real nice. Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: A woman came home to find her front door kicked in. She ran next door to use the phone and call police. The police dispatcher told the woman to stay at her neighbor’s house and keep watch out the window until the officer arrived. In a few minutes, the police car pulled up and a canine officer and his dog got out and headed for the house. “Now don’t that beat all!” the woman said to her neighbor. “When I really need help and they send a blind policeman.” Senior Moments: By the time you’re 80 years old you’ve learned everything. You only have to remember it. A cute saying: Give the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you. Helpful Hint: Berries are prone to growing mold and rotting quickly. To keep mold at bay, rinse berries in a mild vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) before drying them and storing them in a paper towel-lined airtight container.

are), don’t fall for the blame game that some are trying to sell us. The biggest reason we struggle to get ahead is that our system is rigged against us by the powerful and wealthy who want to take more and more, as we get less and less. They never complain about all the corporate welfare and tax breaks they get, but they want to pretend that working people are the problem. We can and should continue to fight back. That is my message for Labor Day. As I encourage us to keep fighting, I remind my brothers and sisters in our labor movement: as organized labor, we have to be vigilant and work together, across any lines that divide us, and focus on what unites us, our shared values that matter to us all. We need to remind our members that this is their country and their union, and they should never be willing to give it up to anybody, whether they’re in the statehouse or the White House. Together, we will continue to fight for workers’ rights and dignity and never give up. Our struggle is America’s perpetual struggle, and by coming together to fight, we strengthen each other and our country. Happy Labor Day! Danny Donohue is the president of CSEA/AFSCME Local 1000, AFL-CIO.

There’s a new sign on the corner of Hwy. 10 and Co. Rte. 2 depicting the DeLancey Church. The “new” DeLancey U.P. Church, dedicated October 1897, is of Gothic design with four gables. It is 50 by 70 feet with a tower 12 by 12, painted French gray, with white trim. The auditorium is 42 by 50 with a Sunday school room in front, 18 by 30 feet separated by sliding doors, so arranged that both rooms may be thrown into one, giving a seating capacity of 400. The audience room is finished in oak, including wainscoting, casings, doors, etc., giving evidence of skilled workmanship. The walls are smoothly plastered and decorated. The ceiling is of metal, a pretty design and handsomely tinted: this work was done by Wood Brothers of Utica, who are artists in this line. The audience room is sealed in a semicircle with seats of elm finished and antiqued. This Sunday school room is fin-
ished in oak with decorated walls and ceiling and seated with chairs. A basement under the whole structure gives ample room for furnace, kitchen, dining room, parlor, etc. Grandma’s recipe: Canadian Chili Sauce, a recipe given to me years ago by the late Mary Combs. I like it very much. 8 quarts ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced, 6 cups celery cut up, 4 cups onions cut up, 2 green peppers cut up and put in large bowl. 1/4 cup salt sprinkled over the veggies and let stand overnight. Drain and discard juice. Place in large pot and add 2 1/2 cups brown sugar, 2 1/2 cups white sugar, 2 Tblsp. mustard seed, 1/8 tsp. pepper, 2 cups vinegar. Bring this all to a boil and cook slowly, 15 minutes. Put in jars and seal while hot. My thoughts of the week: Walton Fair is now over and all the kids had a fun time and except for a couple showers the weather was real nice for it... now it’s time to think about school coming up very soon. College is now back in session after a short summer. I hope all have noticed the new roof on our town hall. Instead of shingles its a darker color metal roof and looks real nice. Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: A woman came home to find her front door kicked in. She ran next door to use the phone and call police. The police dispatcher told the woman to stay at her neighbor’s house and keep watch out the window until the officer arrived. In a few minutes, the police car pulled up and a canine officer and his dog got out and headed for the house. “Now don’t that beat all!” the woman said to her neighbor. “When I really need help and they send a blind policeman.” Senior Moments: By the time you’re 80 years old you’ve learned everything. You only have to remember it. A cute saying: Give the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you. Helpful Hint: Berries are prone to growing mold and rotting quickly. To keep mold at bay, rinse berries in a mild vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) before drying them and storing them in a paper towel-lined airtight container.

THE WEEK IN WALTON What We Are Talking About at the County Hub
FARM BUREAU EXHIBIT AT FAIR September Milk, $3.23– O. & W. Passenger Record– Dr. Gladstone Returns– New Rector. Henry C. Conner has sold the Alex Nichol farm at Hawleys station to George Fitch of Pines brook. Mr. Conner reserves the timber on the place. The minstrel show presented in Walton Hall Thursday evening. under the auspices of the Civic Club, was one of the best things in its line seen here in recent years. The entertainment will be repeated this, Friday evening. At a term of supreme court held at Albany on Aug. 16 Clinton E. Wood of Walton was granted an interlocutory decree of absolute divorce from Ruth Rozelle Wood, with permission to remarry, which privilege is denied to defendant during the life of the plaintiff. The farm and home bureaus have had to give up putting on an exhibit at the state fair this year. They will, however, exhibit at the Walton and Delhi fairs. Their booths will be open to the farmers and their friends. Everybody is invited to make use of the advantages they offer. Men who served honorably in the military and naval forces of the United States between April 6, 1917, and the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918, will be entitled to a bonus of $360 under the terms of a bill introduced in the house of representatives Thursday by Representative Bacharach of New Jersey. Rev. George C. Groves of Port Washington, N. Y., has accepted a call to the rectorate of Christ Episcopal church in Walton at a salary of $1,800. Those who have heard and met Mr. Groves believe that he will be a worthy successor to Rev. S. R. MacEwan, not only in his own church but in community matters as well. Dr. E. Ray Gladstone, first lieutenant in the army medical corps, received his discharge at Camp Dix Monday. He has returned to Walton and will at once resume his practice. Dr. Gladstone was in the army eleven months and was stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky. The experience he acquired there will be invaluable to him in many ways.
endorsed for re-election by both the Democratic and Republican committees. Judge Forsythe is a former Walton boy whose many friends in Walton will learn with pleasure of his success. The Norwich Sun says of him: “He has made a splendid record and has not had a decision reversed either in his city court experience or during the years he was a justice of the peace for the town of Norwich.” RylandH.Hewittof Gouverneur has begun work as assistant county agent under the Delaware county farm bureau association. He graduated from Cornell in 1913 where he specialized in animal husbandry. After graduation he assumed the active management of the home farm at Gouverneur, St. Lawrence county. While there he built up a pure bred Holstein herd, many of which have A. R. O. records. This gave a very good chance to combine the practical and scientific phases of agriculture. Real estate continues very active in Walton. Among recent sales are the following: The James A. Robinson house, upper Stockton avenue, to George Naundorf of the Kayser Company; the George Loker house, Fancher avenue, to Richard Armstrong, who has resold the property to W. J. Findlay on contract; Frank Doig’s house, Fancher avenue, to George Loker; James M. Knapp’s house, Benton avenue, to W. H. Halleck of New Kingston; Hiram B.

THROWN INTO FENCE George Andrus of Grand Gorge Seriously Injured Monday.
(From our Grand Gorge cor.) George Andrus, an aged Grand Gorge resident, was injured in an automobile accident on Depot street Monday afternoon. Mr. Andrus and Oliver Burchan were driving toward Main street with a horse and wagon when Mr. Gregory of Unadilla came up behind them in a large Buick car. Just above the residence of H. F. Whitney they met E. E. Proper driving Joseph M. Forsythe, the the Booth truck and behind him Republican candidate for city came Attorney C. R. O’Connor judge in Norwich, has been of Hobart in his roadster, going toward the station. Messrs. Proper and O’Connor stayed on their own side of the road as did the men in the wagon. It is stated that Mr. Gregory did not wait behind the wagon to allow the other cars to pass, but attempted to pass between them and the wagon. In so doing his car ran into the wagon, upsetting it and throwing the occupants out. Mr. Burchan was

Vogt was called and found that Mr. Andrus, in addition to severe bruises, had sustained internal injuries, the seriousness of which it was impossible to determine. The horse ran into the O’Connor car after the accident, bent the fender and then ran down the street, where it was stopped. The wagon was a wreck.

For county clerk, Florence H. Nichols of Walton. For district attorney, Vincent N. Elwood of Hancock. For coroner, Dr. Grover A. Silliman of Delhi. For member of the state committee, Jerome J. Farrell of Walton. To insure their nomination these names will have to be written in on the ballot as the time for filing designating petitions expired August 5th. In the case of members of the Democratic county committee, except in the towns of Walton and Sidney, where petitions were filed, it will be necessary for the enrolled voters to write in the names of candidates. In the Republican primary there is no contest for county office except that of district attorney. E. J. Turnbull of Andes is seeking renomination to the office of county clerk and Rev. L. R. Long of New Kingston will have no opposition in the primary for the nomination as member of assembly. Certificates of town nominations must be made in duplicate, one of which shall be filed with the town clerk and the other with the Board of Elections in Delhi. The time specified for filing nominations is not earlier than August 26 and not later than September 8. The Republicans will hold their caucuses in most towns on Friday, September 5. In Walton the unofficial primary will be held during the same hours as the official primary in the lobby of Walton Hall next Tuesday. The Democratic county committee has recommended that the party caucuses be held not later than September 5. The caucus in Walton will be held Friday evening, Sept. 5, at 8 o’clock.
PRIMARY ELECTION EVERYONE COMING HELD NEXT TO THE FAIR TUESDAY Contest for Republican Nomination as District Attorney
Aeroplane, Races and Platform Attractions to Be Seen Daily.
TOWN OFFICE NOMINATIONS
All roads will lead to Walton next week for Delaware county’s “Old Home Week,” the annual Walton fair. Lieut. Lyman B. Lockwood, for a long time an army instructor at the Hazelhurst aviation field, Long Island, will make daily lights in his aeroplane, performing all kinds of stunts. He will also carry passengers when not engaged in his regular flights. Good racing is promised for every day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Thursday, as usual, will be the big day with a special train from Livingston Manor, which will return at ten p. m. Night fairs will be held Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The platform attractions this year are of the highest order and these, with the aeroplane flights, form a combination of attractions hard to beat. The agricultural and cattle exhibit will be one of the best seen in recent years. The Walton band will play daily and will give a concert on Delaware street Tuesday evening. Membership tickets and the special coupon ticket, good for three admissions to the grounds, will be on sale Saturday night at midnight.
Caucuses Must Be Held and Certificates Filed in Duplicate Not Later Than September 8. The primary election next Tuesday, September 2nd, will bring only one contest of importance in Delaware county. That contest is for the Republican nomination as district attorney, which is sought by A. Lindsay O’Connor of Hobart and Charles N. Peake of Walton. In the Republican primary there is also a contest between Theodore R. Tuthill of Binghamton and B. Roger Wales of the same city for the nomination as justice of the Supreme Court. Mr. Tuthill, a candidate for the same nomination against Justice A. L. Kellogg of Oneonta two years ago, has the endorsement of the various Republican county committees in the district and his nomination is looked for without serious opposition. The candidates to be voted for at the primary in Delaware county are Supreme Court justice, county clerk, member of assembly, district attorney and one coroner in place of Dr. Thomas L. Craig of Davenport. County committeemen of the various parties will be elected at this primary. The primary will be held in the same places as the general election in November and the polls will be open from 7 a. m. until 9 p. m.

HOBART SCHOOL BIDS EXCEED SUM VOTED Necessary to Revise Plans or Hold Another Election
EXCESS AMOUNT ABOUT $8,500 Appropriation Was $31,000 While Building Alone Will Cost $35,153 In Addition to Heating. The Hobart board of education opened proposals from contractors Saturday afternoon last for the construction of a new school building. M. D. Bennett of Sidney was the only contractor submitting a bid for general construction, including plumbing and electrical work. His bid was $35,151. Four proposals were received on heating and ventilation, that of the L. D. Bannon Plumbing, Heating & Contracting company of Kingston, being the lowest, $5,177. The Johnston Heating company of New York, bid $5,182; Austin Heating company, New York, $5,375; Adam, Britz & Company, New York, $6,500. The Bannon company submitted a bid on the plumbing, the figure being $2,433. The board took the Bennett, Bannon and Johnston bids under advisement and will hold a meeting within ten days to decide definitely what action to take. The appropriation recently voted is $31,000, and this together with the premium of $775 on the bonds, gives $31,775 available for the building. It may be possible to make alterations and reductions in the plans to bring the

cost within the appropriation. As it is, the proposals exceed the appropriation by about $8,500. Many contractors were reluctant to offer bids because of the steady advance in price of all building materials. Since the board of education asked for proposals, about a month ago, building materials have advanced in price approximately 28 percent and the contractors say the high tide mark has not been reached. In fact, some of them predict that prices will continue to advance for several months to come, and that they will never go back to pre-war levels.
ANDES DEFEATS PROPOSITION Appropriation for Road Machinery, Beaten by Six Votes. By the narrow margin of six votes the taxpayers of the town of Andes, at a special election Tuesday, defeated the proposition to appropriate the sum of $6,500 to purchase a ten-ton steam roller and a crusher outfit. The vote was 98 in favor to 104 opposed. A special election was held July 14, when a similar proposition was carried by a vote of 62 to 53, but this election was declared illegal as the signatures to the petition had not been properly witnessed. A similar proposition was carried at Roxbury last week by a vote of five to one.

A bullet fired by someone on the hill above the county jail in Delhi crashed through one of the jail windows Saturday evening, passed through one of the cell windows and into a mattress on the cell bed. No one was in the cell at the time. A careless woodchuck hunter doubtless fired the bullet at a woodchuck and missed.
MURDER WITNESS KILLED Death of Donald Loomis May Help Evans’ Defense. Donald R. Loomis of Binghamton, the principal witness for the prosecution in the murder case of Newell Y. Evans of Deposit, was killed Saturday by a live wire while employed as a lineman for the Binghamton Light, Heat and Power company. It was Loomis’ attentions to Miss Vera Rickard that caused Evans in a fit of jealous rage to shoot and kill Miss Rickard and fatally wound her mother, Mrs. Frederick Rickard, at their home in Binghamton. Loomis was in the Rickard house at the time of the shooting. At a preliminary hearing Loomis had testified

A meeting of stockholders and patrons of the Delaware & Greene creamery at Arkville was held at firemen’s hall, Arkville, one day last week, and called out a large attendance. The question of building some additions to the creamery was given serious consideration. This consists of coal space at the boiler room and storage and refrigerating space near the condensing department, while an enlargement of the receiving room to a capacity of 100,000 pounds was gone into. Milk checks were issued at the close of the meeting.

James Truman, 71, of Walton, passed away Monday, Aug. 26, 2019, in the arms of his loving family. James was born June 14, 1948, to Fred Charles and Frances Marie Doyle Truman. James lived most of his life in Walton, graduating in Walton’s Class of 1966. In high school, Jim was active in sports, was the quarterback for the football team and was crowned Prom King. His love of sports didn’t end after high school: he played softball on Walton’s Over 50’s Team and was an active member of the Delhi College Golf Course. After high school, Jim attended Alfred State for one year, majoring in architectural drafting. He enlisted in the United States Army and served from 1967 to 1970 as a heavy equipment operator stationed stateside at Fort Benning, Ga., and overseas in Thailand. Most of his life was spent as a production worker, 20 years with the Del-Met Corporation and then Domo-Friesland Campina for 23 years. He retired in 2015. Special times for Jim were spent on his porch or deck watching and feeding his birds. He enjoyed other wildlife including the bear on his front porch; he went to the Country Store daily for lottery tickets and often drove to Delhi Price Chopper for muffins, regardless of his sugar levels; he played golf with Jeff, Judd, John, Tom, Hank, Duke and Rusty or whoever he’d run into; but mostly, Jim was a family man, watching the Yankees with Michelle, talking golf with Dustin and chasing the grandchildren. James leaves behind his best friend and love of his life Elnora (Ellie Green) Truman to whom he was married for 35 years. Together they raised two beautiful children, Daddy’s little girl Michelle (Pete Stanton) Truman, and Dustin (Jackie Hunt) Truman who will be married Sept. 14; grandchildren Cadence and Zander Stanton and Easton Truman; step-grandchildren Jerome Stanton, Kieh Nordberg and Logan Nordberg; Godchild Kateland Coons; sisters- and brothers-in law Donna Truman, Debbie Sherwood, Terri Green, Karen (Tery) Glance and Mike Green; special niece Meredith Truman, and several nieces, nephews and cousins. Jim is also survived by special friends Dick and Mary Hafele.
