No One Hurt Debit Card Security Breach At sfcu In Chemical Spill At Hancock Senior Housing By Lillian Browne

WALTON - A security breach at the Walton branch of sfcu on Sunday, Sept. 1, was quickly responded to by the financial institution to ensure customers were protected, according to sfcu President and CEO Jim Reynolds. sfcu staff were at the Walton branch of the credit union on Sunday issuing new debit cards and provisional credit to customers who may have been impacted by fraud, Reynolds said. New debit cards were issued for the affected customers and their old cards were “blocked,” Reynold said, to prevent any further fraud from the breach. Though an investigation is ongoing and the “root cause” of the breach is not yet known, Reynolds advises customers to look for skimming devices that may be attached to any device that accepts a debit

or credit card. Report anything suspicious, he said. People should be vigilant against potential fraud and any suspicious activity or unauthorized charges on an account, he said. “It’s unfortunate that we live in a time where this type of fraudulent behavior can occur,” Reynolds said. All Walton branch sfcu members will be issued new debit cards, Reynolds said, and customers who have not used their debit cards in some time, will discover that their current cards are unusable. For those customers who have not yet obtained a new debit card, Reynolds suggests stopping into the Walton branch, 3 Liberty Street, or calling the toll free customer line at 1-877-642-7328. Reynolds thanks sfcu customers for their patience during the resolution of the breach. The investigation is ongoing, he said.

the dates for two public hearings, one regarding parking issues and the other a proposed Local Law on “transient rental regulations,” or regulations dealing with short-term rentals in the village of Margaretville. The board members also heard from a concerned Margaretville citizen about local sewer maintenance. In July the village board members first discussed the problem of parking in the village, deliberating over whether there should be “no parking” zones in certain areas. It was suggested that the public should be given a chance to speak after fliers had been distributed to raise the issue. The date for the public hearing on parking was set for Oct. 2 at 6 p.m. at the Margaretville Fire Hall, See Margaretville page 5

Hamden Supervisor Wayne Marshﬁeld voted “no” to suspend Delaware County Social Services Commissioner Dana Scuderi-Hunter. By Rosie Cunningham DELHI – There was a full house at the Delaware County Board of Supervisors meeting which took place in Delhi last Wednesday, Aug. 28. For undisclosed reasons, Delaware County Supervisors supported the recommendation and continued suspension of Social Services Commissioner Dana Scuderi-Hunter, pending further action on her job performance. The resolution, on which four supervisors voted “no” - was passed by the majority of the board. Three of the four “no” votes were made by supervisors who sit on the social services committee. Franklin Supervisor Jeffrey Taggart was the only social services committee member who voted “yes.” The resolution which the supervisors voted on states that “certain charges dated Aug. 15, 2019,” against Scuderi-Hunter be approved and ratified and the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors is herewith directed to execute the same and is authorized to serve the same upon the Respondent (Scuderi-Hunter), and to take those actions necessary to commence the proceeding. Alfred T. Riccio of Clifton Park was appointed to serve as the hearing officer in connection with the claim at a rate of $750 per day, plus expenses. There will be a hearing date regarding Scuderi-Hunter’s employment in September and in the meantime, she will remain suspended with

pay, during the pendency of proceedings and the prior administrative leave of Scuderi-Hunter “is hereby ratified and approved.” The supervisors were not made fully aware of the exact charges until the morning of Aug. 28, and an executive session deemed a “confidential meeting” regarding the matter was held prior to the regular meeting. Supervisors remained mum on the charges. Meanwhile, Scuderi-Hunter stands by her job performance saying in a previous interview that she “just wants to get back to work.” Following the vote for suspension, Social Services employees all but stormed out of the meeting, exclaiming their outrage over the decision. “We don’t know why she was suspended but we want her back,” said Doris Quinn, a 12year employee of the department. “But they don’t, so what are we going to do? We have been told absolutely nothing.” Lisa Peaster, who has been with DSS for 37 years, said she was advised by chairwoman Molé to not discuss the matter. “They told us not to talk and that if we did, there would be disciplinary actions,” said Peaster. Both women said they believe Scuderi-Hunter “has been upstanding in her position” as social services commissioner. They also agreed that they believe that she always looks out for the welfare of the children in the department’s care.

“We are disgusted with the whole system – we want Dana back,” said Quinn. Scuderi-Hunter was suspended with pay on July 9 by a letter signed by Molé and County Attorney Amy Merklen. However, it is unclear who authorized Scuderi-Hunter’s suspension –Supervisors, as a legislative body, or chairperson Molé. According to Article 9, Section 450 of New York State County Law, the board of supervisors can vote to suspend an employee. However, that vote, like a vote for an appointment of an employee or the approval of a contract, must be done in public session – not in executive session or in a confidential meeting. A supervisor, on the condition of anonymity, told The Reporter that a vote to suspend ScuderiHunter did not take place prior to the July 9 letter signed by Molé and Merklen suspending Scuderi-Hunter. Taggart said the board of supervisors did, in fact, vote on the suspension following an executive session during a meeting in July, However, July meeting minutes do not support Taggart’s statement. When Taggart was asked by The Reporter if the events leading up to the Aug. 28 vote was legal, he responded, “I believe so, but I also think it could have been handled a little differently.” Merklen, who was noticeably absent during the meeting, penned a letter on June 11 to See DSS Commissioner page 3

Kudos to the staff and management of the Sidney Federal Credit Union who were a shining example of customer service this weekend. A large number of members were affected by a hacking scam that they are still investigating, but once people started realizing their accounts were hacked they thought they were stuck over the holiday weekend without access to their money. The staff of the Walton branch all came in to work on Sunday, in what was supposed to be a two hour shift, to issue new cards to the members who were affected. The lines were so long that the credit union ordered in lunch for those waiting in line, and stayed until all that were in line were helped. A good lesson in security for all of us, and we’ll see how the whole situation plays out but I think the Credit Union did a great job.

‘Give my love to all my friends, and my best wishes to my enemies..’ The Slander Case Of Margaret Bailey

In December 1856, Margaret Bailey, a 25 year-old Bovina native living in New York City working as a milliner, received a rather startling letter from her brotherin-law, James Cathels: Margaret – I hope you will excuse me for the liberty I am about to take with you, concerning your character and conduct of late in New York City. There has a report reached the ears of your friends here, that you have fallen from the paths of virtue and chastity, to that of a common ---…. By the request of your friends, I … ask you the following questions: At what places have you worked since you came to York, and what houses have you lived or boarded at? Please give us the name and number; their general reputation. Have you cards printed with your name and number of your bedroom on them; have you ever given such cards to gentlemen from Delaware county; has said gents staid or stopped or had the use of you as a common ---. … Now, Margaret, if your conduct is all straight since you lived in York, and nothing can be proved to the contrary, you can get a handsome bill of damages, but if your conduct is not straight – enough said. This letter, as can be imagined, upset her greatly. It impacted her work and she became so unwell that she needed to go into the

care of a doctor. She wrote a letter to her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Miller in February 1857: I received your letter and have neglected answering it until now…I am always glad to get a letter from old Delaware, but I am sorry to say that they have not been of the pleasantest nature... I have been informed of the slanderous report concerning my character, and … from my knowledge of some of the characters in your village it is nothing new for them to secretly slander their most intimate friends. But I trust that I have some true friends still left to speak a word in my behalf. I understand that some of my female friends think that I have read and knew too much for to be very virtuous, but for my own part, I think my knowledge is very limited compared with some of the ladies of the celebrated Brushland, for it was from them that I heard most of my information. I am accused of not being virtuous, but I defy any person to bring proof to that eﬀect, and if I am spared to return to Bovina, I will have it brought to an understanding, for I will have all face to face…there is a day of reckoning coming, and perhaps not so far oﬀ as they expect; … I hope they will reap their reward. Ag. write soon. Tell me all the news. I am well, and hope that

you are all enjoying the same blessing. Give my love to all my friends, and my best wishes to my enemies. Yours truly, MARGARET BAILEY From the tone of the letter, it is not clear if she realized that the source of these rumors is Mr. Miller. The slander started during the winter of 1856 when Margaret’s father, William Bailey, came to Miller’s blacksmith shop. When Miller asked him the whereabouts of Margaret, Bailey explained that she was “at Mrs. Abbotts” in New York City. Miller said he understood that this was not the case and that she was instead at a whorehouse. When Margaret did realize that Mr. Miller was the source of the slander, urged on by her father, she took him to court. The trial took place on Jan. 18, 1858 in Delhi and was reported in the Delaware Gazette. Some witnesses testified that Miller said that a Mrs. Elliott had told his wife that she had seen a gentleman distributing Margaret’s card, giving the address and the number of her bedroom. The gentleman had been with her the night before and suggested that other men call on her. Margaret’s sister Jane testified that Miller also told her these tales, including the fact that Margaret got $100 for men to stay with her. Others testified of hearing Miller tell about catching Nathan Hilton in bed with Margaret Bailey at Hamilton’s hotel in Bovina after a dance there. Miller denied spreading these tales, saying that he only told Mr. Bailey “in a friendly manner and told no one else.” He said he took him aside in the shop to have a private conversation. After all the testimony, the jury retired to consider its verdict. It took them until 2 o’clock the next morning to come to their verdict, announced later that day, in favor of the plaintiff, Margaret. She was awarded $275. What happened between the Miller and Bailey families after this verdict is unknown. William Miller died in 1882 at the age of 58 in Hobart. Margaret Bailey married Mathew Shaw and died in 1892 at the age of 61. She is buried in the Bovina cemetery.

There was a full house at the Delaware County Board of Supervisors meeting in Delhi Wednesday, Aug. 28.

DSS Commissioner... continued from front page supervisors and Scuderi-Hunter stating that Scuderi-Hunter “advanced a position contrary to that of the County” in a court proceeding in which a child was placed in the care and custody of DSS. In cases such as those, the

Commissioner is the legal custodian of the child and the County Attorney’s office represents DSS and the Commissioner. Merklen’s letter states that she was representing the Probation Department’s interests.

In a previous interview, Scuderi-Hunter’s attorney Ronald Dunn of Gleason, Dunn, Walsh & O’Shea of Albany said Merklen did not act in an ethical manner and that the attorney cannot represent two or more competing interests. Scuderi-Hunter did not advance a position, Dunn said. In contrast, he continued, ScuderiHunter agreed with a recommendation made by Delaware County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, which argued that the child in question receive treatment as the most efficient, logical and compassionate option rather than be placed in juvenile detention as was recommended by the Delaware County Probation Department. In her letter, Merklen chastises Scuderi-Hunter, telling her that if she has a difference of opinion with Merklen regarding a case, that the “proper” way to address it is through discussion with Merklen or the probation director. Court procedures, however, do not follow Merklen’s direction, Dunn said. Board of Supervisors Social Services Committee Chairman and Hamden Supervisor Wayne Marshfield said prior to the vote that he strongly disagrees with the resolution. “I oppose this resolution,” he said. “It’s time to put an end to expenses, whether it’s attorney fees, stenographer fees or hearing officer fees. Right now, they are on the backs of our taxpayers and I am not fond of that. Depending on the outcome of this resolution, I think the appropriate committee needs to make a resolution for reinstatement – let it go to the reappointment of office which expires at the end of this year.” Frank Miller, representing Delaware County in the suspension proceeding, declined to comment on the charges pending against Scuderi-Hunter, and Assistant County Attorney Jeremy Rase, who was sitting in for Merklen, also declined to comment.

DSS employees and ScuderiHunter were blindsided by the action that put the commissioner on administrative leave. Timeline: During the April 24 board of supervisors meeting, a raise was approved for Scuderi-Hunter. County attorney Merklen penned a letter on June 11 and Merklen asserted in her letter that Scuderi-Hunter “advanced a position contrary to that of the County” in a court proceeding in which a child was placed in the care and custody of DSS. On July 9, Scuderi-Hunter was placed on administrative leave. No votes: Andes Supervisor Bud Gladstone, Sidney Supervisor Eugene Pigford, Hamden Supervisor Wayne Marshfield and Roxbury Supervisor Tom Hynes.

Yes votes: Bovina Supervisor Tina B. Molé, Colchester Supervisor Arthur Merrill, Davenport Supervisor Dennis Valente, Franklin Supervisor Jeffrey Taggart, Delhi Supervisor Mark Tuthill, Deposit Supervisor Tom Axtell, Hancock Supervisor Jerry Vernold, Kortright Supervisor George Haynes Jr., Harpersfield Supervisor James Eisel, Middletown Supervisor Carl Davis, Town of Meredith Supervisor James Ellis, Town of Tompkins Supervisor William Layton, Stamford Town Supervisor Mike Triolo and Walton Town Supervisor Joseph Cetta.

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has alerted taxpayers to fake letters that demand immediate payment for an outstanding tax debt and threaten revocation of passports and driver licenses if the warning is ignored. The return address on this letter, which was sent to at least one person, is: Tax Processing Center Internal Processing Service Public Judgement Records The letter states that the recipient has failed to respond to prior notices, demands full payment by a specific date, and provides an 888 number to call to avoid having personal property levied and sold. It also threatens to revoke the recipient’s driver license and passport. To view a copy of the scam letter visit www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/ press/scam-notice-082019.pdf. To view copies of other similar scam letters sent to New York taxpayers visit www.tax.ny.gov/ pdf/press/scam-notice-122018. pdf. “This is a common scam in which the recipient is threatened out of the blue with punitive action unless payment - in this case, $12,444 - is made immediately,” said New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Michael Schmidt. “In contrast, our department works with taxpayers who have existing tax debt, such as by establishing an installment payment agreement, to resolve the issue. We also work with all levels of law enforcement to bring the fraudsters who commit these types of crimes to justice.” The Tax Department also routinely explains a taxpayer’s right to challenge a bill or notice, or other departmental actions, and offers several ways to pay a bill.

How to spot a fake collection letter

The Tax Department never threatens arrest or revocation of passports. A legitimate letter from the department will include: • Tax Department logo; • a complete return mailing address; • an option to respond online, by phone, or by mail; • the Tax Department website address; • a detailed explanation for why it was sent; and • an explanation of your rights as a taxpayer.

Weather Words With Frank Ward

Margaretville... since it is anticipated there will be many in attendance. One major parking issue which the board members agreed needs to be addressed at a public hearing is the issue of enforcement. The Delaware County Sheriff ’s Department can issue tickets for specific infractions, said Mayor John Hubbell, but they cannot keep a constant presence and patrol looking for parking violations. The other public hearing on Sept. 18 at 6 p.m. at the Gottfried Building, pertained to transient rental regulations. In consultations with the Margaretville Planning Board, the village board is proposing Local Law 1 of 2019 to address the concerns of the village about the rise of Airbnb-type rental properties. In May, Kent Brown of the planning board gave a presentation to the village board on the subject of transient rentals, with an eye towards formulating a position in a Local Law before the rental properties become more prevalent. Several of the concerns Brown brought before the board in May were that health and safety regulations be put in place, that proprietors would be paying the bed tax, and that for every short-term rental property there would be a local contact person if needed since many proprietors are out of town. Brown also introduced several courses of action on the transient rental situation, including a Local Law with a yearly application process for owners which would involve doing fire inspections and checking on signage and smoke alarms by the zoning officer. The last Local Law in Margaretville dealing with these rental issues was in the 1980s, and since Airbnb is a new phenomenon, revised definitions were needed for such terms as “boarding house,” “tourist home,” “hotel,” and “motel.” The Local Law as described

Good luck everyone for your first day back after a summer break.

Here on the Farm the fellas have been busy getting some dry round bales done and brought to the shed for storing. They have gotten many second cutting bales wrapped for next winter feeding and third cutting in some fields are almost ready to be cut. Harold and I have been watching the corn grow in the fields and the tassels are forming and new corn ears have been growing. Farmers are hoping for a good fall so the corn can mature before we have a frost and it is ready to be harvested. The vet came last week and checked the cows - it was a good checkup. The cows were tested for milk

by Brown in May would need to consider how many transient rentals could be in a single building, and would need to define transient rentals as being those places rented for fewer than 30 days. Because Local Law 1 touches on real property within five hundred feet of the village’s property, General Municipal Law 239m requires that the Local Law be submitted to the Delaware County Planning Board for review and comment, in addition to any public hearing. Another issue discussed by the village board at the meeting was regarding sewer line maintenance. Resident Bill Stanton, a former mayor of Margaretville, came to the meeting to tell the board about his experiences dealing with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) when a sewer lateral line broke at his property on Swart Street. Stanton had reason to believe that the DEP had inaccurate maps of where the sewer laterals were located on his property, which caused his yard to be dug up unnecessarily. Stanton said that the experience had caused him to spend thousands of dollars and red tape to get reimbursed, and that several bushes were destroyed when his yard was dug up to find the broken lateral. Stanton said that his purpose in telling his story to the board was to urge everyone in the town of Middletown to seek accurate maps of their property. Other matters discussed by the Board: • a request from the Business Association of Margaretville to close Main Street to vehicle traffic on the evening of Friday, Aug. 30, for the Rock N Roll Cruise-In; • There was talk about replacing the banners on Main Street with banners giving information about specific veterans and their service.

Summary For August By Frank Ward We were a little down for precipitation for August, our total 3.99”. Normal is 4.28” so we were down 29/100ths. We were also down in temperature, a warm beginning to the month but a more than cool ending. Average daily temperature this year was 65.4 degrees - normal is 66.6 degrees so we were off 1.2 degrees. So August was a little dry and a little cold. Year to date so far: our precipitation Year To Date is 34.75” normal is 30.33” so we’re still up 4.42”. Temperature YTD is 46.1 degrees, normal is 46.8 degrees so we’re down by 7/10 degree. The outlook for this week is colder after Wednesday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday upper 60s to low 70s, after that low 60s. Nighttimes in low to mid 40s. I’m writing this Monday morning and it’s pouring. Next chance is maybe Wednesday afternoon, then clear and cold. Now a few facts. You notice it’s now called Climate Change not Global Warming. Because as you can see July and August here were actually colder than normal. To really talk about climate you need at least 100 years of records. I actually do - my records go back to late 1890s. Our planet works on cycles that take hun-

dreds of thousands of years, no one has ever lived through a cycle. Is the planet warming up? Yes - and it’s supposed to be warming up. It warms up before every ice age. Are we speeding it up? Probably, but understand that our planet isn’t fixed in its orbit. It varies, it isn’t fixed in its tilt, at the moment 23.5 but that varies over time and the Earth wobbles. All of this affects weather and climate. The dust bowl lasted 10 years. Was it a change in climate? No. Is there a lot of CO2 in the air? Yes. Did we help create that, yes - but there has been a lot more CO2 during times in the past. The problem is we’re the first species to be aware of this. Years ago we made mistakes because of ignorance, i.e.: the ocean is so large we can’t pollute it, the atmosphere is so vast we won’t change it, the world is so big we can’t use it up. Boy have we learned a lesson. Can we fix it? Maybe, but not in a day, or a year or a decade. It’s taken hundreds of years to make this mess, it’s going to take a long time to clean it up, too. Meanwhile the planet will continue in its cycles. Get ready for Fall, leaves are turning, clean chimneys, clean your furnace and wood stove - it’s coming and it’s a cycle. ~Frank

Comments Sought On New Rates For NYSEG Customers The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) announced it is seeking public comments on changes proposed by the New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) to its electric and gas delivery rates and practices. On May 20, NYSEG filed new electric and gas tariff schedules, intended to take effect in April 2020. Under NYSEG’s proposal, annual electric delivery rates would increase by $174.5 million (22.7% on base delivery revenues and 11.6% in total revenues) and annual gas delivery rates would increase by $9.4 million (4.6% in gas delivery revenues and 2.1% in total revenues). NYSEG projects that the average residential monthly electric bill would increase by $11.23 (or 15.0 % on the total bill). The average monthly residential gas bill will increase by $1.71 (or 1.9% on the total bill). According to NYSEG, vegetation management is the largest driver for the requested electric rate increase. The gas delivery rate increases are primarily associated with depreciation, infrastructure investments, and increases to operation and maintenance expenses. Comments should refer to one or more of the following cases: “Case 19-E-0378” (NYSEG electric rates) and “Case 19-G-0379” (NYSEG gas rates).

Credit Card 101 By Senator James L. Seward Every fall, New York’s colleges and universities welcome thousands of incoming freshmen to their campuses. It’s a safe bet that many of them will leave school with a high-quality education, a college degree, and lots of memories. It’s also quite possible they will drag along a ton of credit card debt. Today, many young professionals are trying to keep their heads above water as they struggle to pay off thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of dollars in credit card debt accumulated in college and, in the process, rehabilitate credit histories that have damaged their chances to get a car, a job, or a home. Of course, credit cards in and of themselves are not bad things, indeed, they are a great way to establish a positive credit history necessary for bigger purchases like automobiles and real estate. There is no doubt, in our increasingly paperless society, credit cards offer freedom and independence – two qualities that appeal to those who are just starting out and are looking to establish their own identities. According to national statistics, more than 80 percent of college students own one credit card and 56 percent of them have more than four. Further, by graduation day, students will amass an average credit card debt of $3,173. Depending on the APR and the monthly payment, this

kind of debt could take years to pay off and cost plenty in interest. A few simple tips to remember: Shop around for the best interest rate. Like any class in college, finding the right credit card requires a little bit of homework. Look for a fixed rate, not a low introductory rate that is temporary and won’t last. A good place to compare rates is at the New York State Department of Financial Services website (www.dfs. ny.gov) which includes a special Student Protection Unit; Some credit cards charge an over-the-limit fee, a late payment fee, a cash advance fee, and an annual fee just for being a cardholder. Read the fine print and look for a card with no or low annual fees; Settle on one card and pay the balance in full each month and on time; and Request a low credit limit $500 to $1,000 – that is sufficient for emergencies, yet reduces the temptation to use it for big-ticket items. A few years ago, the federal government enacted the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act that contains several protections aimed at protecting college students and young adults including: Credit card companies are banned from using free giveaways, such as pizza and tee shirts, to entice students to sign up for credit cards at on-campus tables;

A ban on credit cards for people under the age of 21 unless they have adult co-signers or show proof that they have means to repay the debts; Credit card companies are required to get written permission from a parent or guardian before raising credit limits; and Colleges, universities and alumni associations have to disclose the nature of contracts they sign with credit card marketers allowing access to student and alumni contact information. Another viable option for students is a debit card. Like credit cards, debit cards are accepted nearly everywhere. Since funds for purchases are directly from the bank account of the cardholder, it helps develop fiscal accountability for spending and budgeting money. Parents may also want to consider adding a card, with an established limit, in their child’s name on their account. Monthly statements help parents keep track of any purchases made on that card and provide a valuable tool in teaching children about how to use credit responsibly. A small piece of plastic can have a big impact – positively or negatively – on one’s credit history. Being smart about credit cards may be one of the most important lessons college students learn in their time on campus. Senator Seward’s website: www.seward.nysenate.gov.

Why: Nick Tokman will be sharing his story of how he went from initially seeing a boat on TV to getting on the very boat that compelled him to go crab fishing in Alaska: the Northwestern. Nick will be talking about the struggles he went through trying to land a commercial fishing job in Alaska including homelessness as well as why he left the show and a six-figure job offer, to pursue his calling as a speaker to youth. His objective is to build self-worth in students so they focus on who they are and what they really want to do with their lives. About Nick Tokman: Nick ‘Sunshine’ Tokman is a four-year cast member of the hit show “Deadliest Catch” and also a native to Western Massachusetts. He went

from being a college student to working on his favorite boat, the Northwestern that he saw on TV four years prior. While Nick was in Alaska, he battled homelessness, made numerous mistakes and failed several times. What kept him going was his passion that drove him to be a successful crab fisherman. He decided to leave the show to speak to students and write his book. His

purpose is to connect students with who they are and what they want out of life so their passion pushes them past all forms of adversity standing in the way of their true gifts being shared with the world.

CEMETERY LOVERS By Tina and Dale Utter stonecroft@citlink.net

Eel Business

Fifty years ago I was with my dad fishing from a boat on the Unadilla River between Mt. Upton and Rockdale, downstream around the bend from Rock Inn/Grecian Bend Motel and above the now-removed Batterson Bridge. My dad looked out from the boat and pointed to a V-shaped formation of rocks that ran across the river and said, “That is an eel rack.” Although he had lived not far from here his entire life he didn’t know much about it. He said they speared eels and fish from it by lantern at night. I was intrigued by the eel rack and wondered when was it built. I fished the river by boat and floated over it. On return I had to pull the boat back through it to deeper water. I explored the shallow water on both sides, looking for treasures. Tina didn’t know about the eel rack. One day we took a walk and explored the cool shallow water. We found a nice old bottle “Mineral Water - Honesdale Glassworks PA.” We still didn’t know much about the eel rack. I expect the old-timers that could have told us about it are gone now. Tina decided to ask her friend if she knew anything about them. Beulah Lodovice, 97, formerly of Shavertown, said her brothers had eel racks on the Delaware River. She talked about eating them when she was a child. She said she could still see her mom cooking them and how they squirmed around in the hot cooking pan. She once loved eel and pancakes but said she wouldn’t touch them now. What I called an eel rack is technically called an eel weir - pronounced

like “peer” - or a fishing trap. They have been around for thousands of years. Early colonial records show Vshaped river formations were used by Native Americans. Eels were an important food source for them. Early settlers recognized this and started using eel weirs, too. Their demise started in the late 1700s as they were torn down to make the rivers more navigable. Eels are interesting creatures. Although considered fish, they seem more like snakes. When I was about 15, I was night fishing a trout stream in the Catskills with my brother-inlaw, Charlie. Suddenly I hooked into a big one! It put up a tremendous fight. We were both excited to see what I had on my line. When we finally got it on shore we stared in disbelief as it was an eel. I grabbed it with both gloved hands and it just slipped away as both gloves became covered with slime. About that time it dropped off the line and started slithering through the grass like a snake. I grabbed the nearest thing I had which was my jacket and threw it over the eel and pounced on it. Finally we got it subdued - the slime never did come out of my coat. We cleaned it and presented it to my mom who said, “What do I do with it?” She fried it up like she would any other pan fish but I don’t remember trying it. The eel’s life cycle is amazing. The American eel is hatched in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda, then they drift with the ocean currents until they reach our shores, travel upstream and spread throughout rivers, streams and lakes. For five to seven years they grow and mature, reaching lengths of five feet and weights of seven pounds before returning to the Sargasso Sea to spawn and start the cycle anew. It is during this migration to the sea that the eel weir comes into play. According to a Nov. 6, 2007 Evening Sun article by Donald A. Windsor,

Missing Sidney Man Found Dead The search for a Sidney man reported missing on June 27 ended on Aug. 28 with police discovery of his remains. The body of Byron J. Furman, 51, of Sidney, was discovered by utility line employees while working in a wooded area near the intersection of Lawton Hill and Franklin Depot Road, Sidney, according to a press release issued by the Delaware County Sheriff ’s Office on Aug. 28. Furman died of natural causes according to Delaware County Medical Examiner Dr. Richard Ucci. Deputies were assisted at the scene by New York State Police.

THE REPORTER

the eel weir I mentioned is at a shallow point in the river, 260 feet wide. One arm of the V is 280 feet long, the other 150 feet long. As the migrating eels swim downstream they are guided by the shape of the V to the point. Native Americans placed large baskets at the V to collect the eels as they passed through the opening. For a better idea of how this works we took a trip to Hancock to visit Ray Turner who runs Delaware Delicacies Smoke House on the Delaware River. He catches, prepares, smokes and then sells eels. He and Tina got along just fine but he seemed difficult when I tried to talk to him. I guess she is just more charming than I am. He catches his eels the old fashioned way - with an eel weir. Each year in June he starts to rebuild his weir while the river is low. The weir consists of two stone walls, each about 300 feet long and must be completed by September for the eel run. The two walls come together forming a V, and at the point he builds a wood eel rack which allows the river to flow through it but traps the eels. He may catch 1,000 eels in one night during September. Turner grew up in Hancock, attended college and spent time in the Army. He has lived a solitary life in his riverside cottage since the 1970s. He showed us around his shop and were thrilled when he said we could wade into the river to see the eel weir and rack. He had a large vat of live eels and encouraged us to touch one. When Tina, did the whole lot of them took off swimming and much to Ray’s amusement it startled Tina. I expect he does that often to strangers. He has a large rectangular stone that he moves back into place each year. He says it will be his tombstone when he dies. We hope that is a long time off as he keeps this lost craft alive.

Please continue “hope you’re feeling better” wishes to Charlie Calhoun. Hamden Senior Citizens met for their monthly luncheon meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 28, at the Hamden Town Hall. Happy Birthday was sung to Jim Tweedie, Linda Shepard, Charlotte Szczesh, Peg Possemato, Marian Calhoun, and Doug Bull for their August birthdays. We wish Carol a wonderful new chapter as she has moved to 188 S Central Ave, Inverness, FL 34452 or nursedvh@ gmail.com. An Arkville train trip late September or early October was discussed. The group was invited to play Bingo on Friday, Aug. 30, at the Delhi Rehab Center. The next meeting is Wednesday, Sept. 25, at noon at the Hamden Town Hall. All are welcome to come and enjoy food and fun conversation. Beth Ogden, fifth grade teacher at the Walton Elementary School, spoke to the Seniors about her two year service in the Peace Corps to teach English in a village school in Moldova upon graduating from Elmira College. The country is smaller than New York state, is mostly agricultural, families grow their own food and are mostly self sufficient. The largest cash crops are sunflowers and grapes. The sunflowers are sold as flowers as well as for seeds and oils. Wines are popular among the Moldovan people and are also sold to other countries. Moldavans speak either Romanian, Russian, or Gagauz which reflects the old Turkish language of the Ottomans when they invaded that country. Moldova

has Russian and Romanian borders. Beth learned to speak Romanian through a crash course from the Peace Corps and nightly lessons from her host mom. The house of her host parents didn’t have indoor pumping for the first five months of Beth’s stay. Beth didn’t mind walking through the alley to use the outhouse but was not a fan of bucket bathing. She celebrated along with her host family when the indoor pumping was installed. Her school’s “blackboards” were boards adhered to the front wall, painted with regular paint. The village had internet so Beth was able to search and watch Netflix. On New Year’s Day children traveled around the neighborhood to throw seeds against the doors of homes causing the owners to open the doors and give the children money and candy. Beth returned to the village for two weeks this summer. Her host mom sent her home with six pounds of wrapped candy which she brought and shared with the Seniors. All was delicious especially the chocolate/orange candies. In addition to showing pictures of the Moldovan countryside and towns, Beth wore an embroidered blouse typical of the ethnic dress. She also brought a woven purse/bag which was made in Moldova. The Peace Corps was established in the 1960s and volunteers are age 20s to 80s. Countries request volunteers who are given assignments by the Corps which match skills to needs. Church services for the Hamden, DeLancey and West Delhi churches for Sunday, Sept. 8, will be held in the DeLancey Church at 11 a.m. with Rev. Connie Stone. Communion will be served. Be aware of school buses and kids as they start back to school this week.

DELHI - Hollow in Delhi is a new eatery which offers something kind of new to the area, with small, shared and creative plates from a chef who moved to the area from Brooklyn. Eden Rehmet and Jake Adams recently opened Hollow on Division Street in Delhi. “It’s just the two of us and we found this space and thought it would be sustainable for us to operate,” said Rehmet. Adams, from New Zealand originally, worked at Momofuku Milk Bar in New York under Chef Christina Tosi. He and Rehmet, who is originally from Texas, found a “beautiful” space in East Meredith on 20 acres of land. “It hit all of the boxes,” said Adams of the location. As for the restaurant, Adams said he wanted to focus on small, shared plates and on what is “missing” on local menus. Therefore, the current menu features small sharable dishes such as marinated feta, pork rillettes, shishitos and duck fat potatoes, as well as sandwiches and plates: a BLT, a pork dish with house, gochujang, rilletes, cucumber, jalapeño, with herb aioli and pea shoots. There is also a braised short rib with caramelized onion, chimichurri, provolone, pickles and greens or a beet dish with sheep’s cheese, greens and summer herbs. There is also a selection of salads and a dessert - pot de creme (bittersweet chocolate and creme fraiche). “We established a menu and will change it up from time to time,” he said. “We wanted a laid back vibe,” said Rehmet.” There are no reservations and if someone wants to just come in for a drink and read

a book - we love that.” Adams will be doing all of the prep work and cooking, while Rehmet will be in the front of the house and behind the bar. The 38 year-old chef said originally, he is a musician but opted to have a career in the culinary arts. Rehmet maintains a career in private equity commodities from home in addition to being a new restaurant owner. “I’ve worked with pop-up restaurants in the city, but I have never tended bar. I spent the winter going through cocktail bibles, testing things out and balancing things.” Adams said he is trying to incorporate as many local items as possible into the menu. This week, he purchased bacon from Catskill Food Company and in the last few weekends has utilized many goods from the local farmers’ market on Courthouse Square. “I want to use local as much as possible,” he said. Hollow is open from 4 to 10 p.m., Thursday through Saturday and from 2 to 8 p.m. on Sunday (hours may change in the future).

Sidney Center Gears Up For Its 10th Annual Tractor Parade

The 10th annual Sidney Center Tractor Parade is set for Saturday, Sept. 21 the focus of which will be fun, family, farming and the future. Thrills await visitors as the parade of tractors heads up the main street of Sidney Center, led by the parade’s two grand marshals. Delaware County is recognized for its dairy and farming heritage and this parade acknowledges the people, equipment and lifestyle of the community - past and present. The parade is sponsored by the Family and Friends Church of Sidney Center, and 100 percent of the net proceeds will benefit local agricultural organizations. Last year’s proceeds benefited FFA, Western Delaware BOCES FFA, Sidney Central School District, a Franklin 4-H Club and a Walton 4-H Club. One of the 2019 Grand Marshals is Carl Gregory, who was born in Walton but moved to Northfield in 1940 with his parents. He attended Walton Central School and majored in Agriculture. Carl was an active member of the Walton Chapter of the FFA and in 1954 was elected state secretary-treasurer and was named the NYS FFA State Farmer. In 1956, Carl married Janet Birdsall and in 1962 they bought a neighboring farm in Northfield. In 1970, they enlarged their property again, purchasing a farm for young stock and crops. In 1977, daughter Cathy and son-in-law Donald Scofield began farming there. Carl and Janet had five children – Cathy, Betty and Jerry - still residing near the family farm, Jim in Sidney Center and Wayne in South Carolina. There are 13 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Carl and Janet received the Outstanding Young Farm Family award in 1970 by the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce. Carl has been the Justice of Peace for the town of Walton for 41 years. Although Carl no longer farms he continues to support all things

He is often seen on a tractor helping others plant and harvest. Two of the farm’s big red tractors will be in the Sidney Center tractor parade. Gerry and Sue Ruestow came to Sidney Center in 1973 and Gerry brought his first tractor, a John Deere A, with them. Later that year, he acquired tractor number two following his grandfather’s death - a John Deere 520 - the second tractor Gerry had ever driven at the age of nine. Gerry will be the second Grand Marshal this year. A teacher, Gerry could not suppress his love for farming

which had grown during summers spent working alongside his grandfather. First calves, then pigs found homes on the Roof Road property. He harvested hay from the property and from adjacent land, in Masonville and with a coworker in Franklin. Meanwhile, a John Deere 70 followed Gerry home. In 1988, acknowledging that they had outgrown the property on Roof Road, Gerry and Sue bought George Palmer’s farm on Dunshee Hill Road. Gerry and Sue continued to work in the school system. Beef, heifer boarding, growing corn and hay

resulted in Gerry joining Tommy Reynolds to milk Tom’s cows on the farm. They were fortunate to use much of the former Dunshee land owned by seasonal residents. Tractors came and went... but mostly came and stayed. This year Gerry and Sue’s daughter, Julie, will be home to take part in the parade – driving one of the tractors that stayed. Years have passed, and Gerry has returned to his beginnings doing custom baling and harvesting and selling hay and balage.

Film Showing - Bob Wyer: Catskills Photographer Show up at the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14 to view a new documentary film by Hancock-based photographer and filmmaker Art Pierson and Thousand Watt Productions. Bob Wyer: Catskills Photographer provides a fascinating look into the life and career of Delhi-based photographer Bob Wyer and his wife and collaborator, Billie. From the 1930s and well into the 1970s, Bob Wyer photographed a range of life’s activities, including school groups, graduating seniors, stores, hotels, farms and businesses, providing us with a remarkably broad documentation of life here in the Catskills. As a staff photographer for the Oneonta Star and other local newspapers, Wyer was often on hand to document accidents, fires and even mur-

ders. Images from his years as both a free-lance and paid photojournalist make up the majority of the images which appear in the film. Some images may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. Bob Wyer: Catskills Photographer features numerous interviews with local people who knew the Wyers and others knowledgeable about his tens of thousands of images. Produced and directed by Samantha Misa; Director of Photography Arthur W. Pierson; original music by Brittany Elliot; narrated by Lily Ogozalek. Free admission. DCHA is 2 miles north of the village of Delhi at 46549 State Hwy. 10. For more information, call 607-746-3849, or email: dcha@delhi.net.

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

SUPERVISOR MOORE RENAMED Car Bumped Stone Wall–City Boy in Runaway Smash– Several Minor Accidents. Mrs. Myron DuBois had twenty dollars worth of chickens stolen last week. William Blake, employed by J. H. Tweedie, suffered a painful injury one day recently when he drove a nail into the third joint of a finger. A new law, which became effective September first, requires that motor trucks be equipped with mirrors giving the chauffeurs a view of the road in the rear. Harry Jenkins, employed in J. J. Farrell’s sawmill on the North farm, river road, had several ribs fractured one day this week when he was struck by a heavy iron pulley. Dr. Smith dressed the injury. Five baskets of pheasants, each containing five young birds, were received by Walton sportsmen Friday from the state game farm at Sherburne and have been placed in shelters on nearby hills. The locomotive on Ontario & Western train No. 2, southbound, jumped the tracks near Mamakating tower last Thursday evening. None of the eight passenger coaches were derailed. Conductor W. B. Warren had charge of the train. William Vandervort of Walton, an O. & W. trainman, had two fingers on his right hand broken when the hand was caught and crushed while Vandervort was helping do some switching at Sidney Center Wednesday. Dr. W. B. Morrow attended him. The war time bonus of $150 a year for postal service employees, appropriated last year by Congress on account of the high cost of living, will be continued the ensuing year if a bill introduced in the House of Representatives becomes a law. The bonus is made retroactive to July 1, 1919. Master Charles Cunningham of Boston, Mass., aged 13 years, while visiting his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Little, Andes, met with a runaway accident. While driving back to the farm from the creamery after delivering milk the horse was frightened by a dog and ran away, throwing the lad out. One arm was painfully injured. The boy is a son of Charles Cunningham and a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. William Cunningham of Walton. While George Alexander of Franklin was driving a party home from the Signor reunion at Solomon Signor’s, Terry Clove, last Friday, the brakes failed to work on a hill near Hamden and in trying to control the car the driver ran the machine up the bank and into a stone wall. Miss Avis Gillette of Franklin,

a member of the party, jumped and dislocated her elbow and was badly cut on some barb wire. Dr. M. D. McNaught of Hamden and Dr. W. R. Gladstone of Walton attended her. Stamford leads in the sale of War Savings Stamps in Delaware county from January 1 to July 31. The amounts sold by towns are as follows: Stamford, $6030; Delhi, $7020; Tompkins, $4443.25; Sidney, $7730.75; Franklin, $3091.50; Walton, $6886.50; Roxbury, $2338.50; Hamden, $1287.50; Kortright, $1278; Hancock, $2956.25; Andes, $1284.25; Middletown, $2411.50 Davenport, $803; Colchester, $1706.75; Meredith $522.25; Masonville, $221.75; Bovina, $174.75; Deposit, $107; Harpersfield, $14.25. Total for the county, $50,307,75; per capita, $1.00. Never before in its history has the Ontario & Western railroad carried as many summer visitors to the resorts of Sullivan and Delaware counties as this season. A large part of them returned to the city on Labor Day and Tuesday and special provisions had to be made to take them back to their homes. Train 20 is reported to have carried 30 cars of express to Weehawken Monday. The express employees worked all night unloading but overlooked a load in a combination express and mail car and the matter was brought back to Walton on train No. 1 Tuesday before it could be unloaded and later shipped back to the city. The carload consisted chiefly of trunks. The Republican town caucus was held Tuesday in the lobby of Walton Hall during the same hour as the official primary. There were 170 ballots cast or about one third of those who voted at the official Republican primary. The nominations are as follows: Supervisor, William G. Moore; town clerk, John S. Eells; justices of the peace, Herman Henderson and Seeley Wood; assessors, Fred B. Lyon and David J. Miller; collector, Fred F. Dickermon; overseer of the poor, Elmer E. Wakeman; constables, Abram B. Squire, Harry Meade, George Rutherford, Clarence Payne and William Goodrich. For justice of the peace four names were placed on the ballot, the two receiving the most votes being nominated. The vote was as follows: Herman Henderson, 117; P. B Williams, 59; Seeley Wood, 73; William McDonald, 55. The Democratic caucus for the nomination of town officers will be held in the court room of Walton Hall this, Friday, evening, at 8 o’clock.

FAIR CONTINUED SATURDAY Program of Races Advanced a Day on Account of Rain. The Walton fair will be continued Saturday. This was decided upon by the management Wednesday morning when it was seen that the continuous rain had made the track unfit for use that day, had prevented Aviator Lockwood from reaching here and would doubtless keep many away from the grounds. The race program will be advanced one day and some good racing is promised for Saturday. The management have put much life into the fair this year and between fifty and sixty racing horses are now at the fair grounds and entered for the various races. The weather cleared Wednesday evening and Thursday brought the usual big crowds to the fair grounds. Not in recent years has such a large number of side shows, amusement places and refreshment stands been on the grounds and there is something going on every minute to pass the time quickly. This may be the last year of

the floral parade, which has been for a number of years one of the big attractions on Thursday. The entries this year showed a big falling off and numbered less than a third of those of a few years ago. Some other feature will doubtless replace the floral parade another year. The prize winners of the floral parade were as follows: Society, first, Epworth League; school float, Robert Utter; farmer’s float, Robert Utter; truck garden float, William Cable; boy’s bicycle decorated with flowers, William Van Wagner; girl’s bicycle decorated with flowers, Margaret Van Wagner; baby and baby carriage, Mrs. Robert Utter; doll and carriage, Mrs. C. Van Wagner; cart drawn by dog, William Van Wagner. The exhibit of stock is well up to the average, there being four herds of Guernseys alone entered. Herds exhibitors include the following: Jerseys, A. B. Tweedie; Holsteins, Robert Utter and Peter Chambers; Guernseys, J. Russell Danks of Delancey, Walter Thalick of Marathon, N. E. Smith and Frank Dann; Ayrshires, L. E. Rifenbark; Devons, Nicholas Dicks of Walton and F. Chamberlain and Sons, Maryland; Herfords, Clarence Alger, Bainbridge; Polled Jerseys, Nicholas Dicks; Dutch Belted, E. J. Feake and James E. Feake; Columbian, J. K. Storrer and Everett Dicks; Brown Swiss, Nicholas Dicks. Exhibitors of poultry include David Robbins, DeForest Babcock, Clarence E. Payne, Elmer Neff, Robert Cleaver, H. A. Easson, Floyd Gregory, William Gregory, Henry Stuart, Merritt C. Loudon, Frank Oles, Walton; Cook Bros., Franklin; Dr. H. Bruening, Cooks Falls. Lieut Lockwood, who was expected Tuesday, was unable to leave on schedule because of the weather, but arrived in his plane Thursday morning. Carlton Burrhus, who was an aviation cadet, is flying with him on his exhibition flights.

THEIR AUTO JOY RIDE ENDED IN DEATH Julius Grone of Brooklyn Killed Near Pine Hill Saturday

CHAUFFEUR HELD FOR LARCENY Harry Bracken Took Machine Without Owner’s Permission– Others in Party Injured. (From Fleischmanns correspondent.) Harry Bracken, a New York chauffeur, is held in the Delhi jail on a charge of grand larceny as the result of a joy ride last Saturday night, resulting in the death of Julius Grone of Brooklyn and the injury of others in the party. The accident occurred between Pine Hill and Shandaken near the Hotel Chieftan. The party of six chauffeurs left Fleischmanns with a large touring about ten o’clock Saturday evening, going toward Kingston. The machine belonged to Bracken’s employer, it is stated, and was taken without his permission. When nearly opposite the Hotel Chieftan at Shandaken the driver claims he saw a large machine coming and that the spotlight on the approaching car blinded him. He pulled his car into the ditch and the front wheel struck a pile of crushed trap rock, causing the machine to crash into a cherry tree. The framework of the machine was broken and torn from the body. There were two white men and four colored men in the party. One of the white men, Julius Grone of Brooklyn, was instantly killed. Two men who gave their names as John Leggs and George Cassues, colored, were inured, and Leggs is in the Kingston hospital. Bracken was given a hearing before Justice S. A. Dugan at

Margaretville and was taken to Delhi jail to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of grand larceny. He was not injured. The men are all New York chauffeurs and had been boarding at the Fleischmanns hotel. The full facts in the case may not be known as a young woman visited the office of Dr. Morrow in Walton Monday while on her way to New York and received treatment for numerous cuts and bruises which she stated she received in the wreck.

O’CONNOR NOMINATED DISTRICT ATTORNEY Hobart Man Defeats Charles N. Peake by 425 plurality

TUTHILL FOR SUPREME COURT Binghamton Attorney Has Safe Lead Over Wales— Democratic County Nominations. A. Lindsay O’Connor of Hobart won the Republican nomination for district attorney at the primary election Tuesday. He received a plurality of 425 over Charles N. Peake of Walton. In the only other contest of interest, that for the Republican nomination as Supreme Court justice Theodore R. Tuthill of Binghamton has a lead of about 3,000 over B. Roger Wales of that city. Mr. Tuthill’s plurality in Delaware county was 455. There were 8884 voters enrolled as Republicans at the time of the general election last fall. About one-third of these took part in the primary election. The rain doubtless kept many away from the polls. Mr. Peake received a large vote in Walton and also carried the towns of Deposit, Hancock, Masonville, and Tompkins. The vote by towns for the nomination as district attorney and Supreme Court Justice is given below: District Attorney Justice O’Connor Peake Tuthill Wales Andes 113 85 120 70 Bovina 47 14 38 18 Colchester 117 46 93 54 Davenport 68 63 67 39 Delhi 164 162 190 106 Oeposit 37 77 69 46 Franklin 81 52 68 62 Hamden 49 44 42 49 Hancock 85 134 90 125 Harpersfield 87 6 47 36 Kortright 81 12 55 35 Masonville 29 69 69 25 Meredith 42 10 29 23 Middletown179 43 122 76 Roxbury 172 8 119 35 Sidney 249 206 185 230 Stamford 223 14 133 81 Tompkins 47 71 59 54 Walton 64 393 216 192 –––– –––– –––– –––– 1934 1509 1811 1356 Democratic nominations are as follows: For member of assembly, James W.

TO IMPROVE TOWNSEND ST. Appropriation for Stone Road Only Anticipates Next Year’s Taxes. A special village election is to be held next Tuesday from four to eight o’clock to vote upon a proposition to appropriate $1,800 to complete the stone road on Townsend street. To avoid any misunderstanding it is well to state that this appropriation is merely in anticipation of the tax next year from which it will be paid. It is not an additional tax. At the beginning of the year the trustees mapped out a plan for street work which was to include the portion of Townsend street from Union to a little

above East which had never been improved. All the heavy milk traffic comes down this street and as a result it is at times barely passable. However, by the time this strip was reached the road funds were reduced to a point where it could not be completed. An offer was made by a citizen to the trustees to pay the interest until next tax levy on any sum that might be required to finish this street. As a matter of law the trustees could not accept the offer without authority from the taxpayers, hence the calling of the election. The effect of voting the appropriation is simply to anticipate the tax funds of next year. The street would be improved next year the first thing. By improving it now the heavy traffic that would use North street, wearing that street out, will come down Townsend street, thus saving repairs to North street next year.

STOLEN DEPOSIT CAR DRIVEN INTO RIVER Thief Failed to Negotiate Sharp Turn at East Branch

MADE ESCAPE IN THE NIGHT Took Cadillac From Dr. Axtell’s Garage Which Had Been Left Unlocked- Car Damaged $600. A Cadillac eight, owned by Walter Dixon of Akron, Ohio, was stolen from the garage of Dr. Clayton M. Axtell in Deposit early Friday morning. The thief made a record run on the state road through Hancock but failed to make the sharp turn at the Beaverkill bridge at East Branch and the machine shot over the bank and into the river. The thief is still at large. Thursday evening Mr. Dixon and party of Akron, O., arrived in Deposit to pass the night with Dr. and Mrs. Clayton M. Axtell, Front street. Mr. Dixon drove his car, which is a Cadillac, “eight,” seven-passenger machine, into the doctor’s garage at the rear of the house. The doctor’s Ford roadster was also in the garage, which was not locked. About 3:15 a. m. Mrs. Axtell was awakened by a noise, which proved to be a plank of the bridge leading from the public highway into the doctor’s private driveway, which had been tipped up by the car passing over it and off the end of the bridge. She called the doctor, who at once investigated and found that his car had been run out of the garage, and the switch-key was missing, while the Cadillac, which was in the rear, had been taken. He at once called Hancock on the phone and notified Chief of Police McGranaghan and Motorcycle Officer Church of the robbery and asked that they stop the thief. In the meantime Officers McGranaghan and Church made ready to stop the thief, but because of the short time remaining after receiving the word, they were unable to get obstructions across the road. Motorcycle Officer Church got on his machine and rode to the west end of Hancock. He had no more than reached this point when he saw lights of a car approaching, and at the same time his own lights, unfortunately, went out. However, as the car passed, he flashed a light on the driver, who proved to be the only occupant. The front license number plate he was unable to see, but flashed the light on the rear one, which proved to him that it was the stolen car. He then took aim with his revolver and fired at the tires, but because of the darkness he was unable to see, and the shot went too high and struck the mudguard. Returning to Hancock Church phoned to Roscoe, where the roadway was soon obstructed and a crowd, with guns, were on hand to hold him up, but no car arrived. Officer Church, after fix-

ing his own lights, followed and found the car at East Branch, where it had gone off the bank into the Beaverkill. At this point there is a bridge over the East Branch of the Delaware and another over the Beaverkill, a short distance away. The state road swings sharply after crossing the East Branch bridge and the other fork crosses the Beaverkill bridge. The thief failed to make either turn and the car shot straight ahead into the river, just beyond the bridge, landing right side up about fifteen feet below. It was badly damaged and will require an expenditure of $500 or $600 to repair it. The clock on the dashboard had stopped at 4:20 o’clock. A grip belonging to the thief was found near the scene of the accident, which was taken possession of by the authorities, and which contained letters, driver’s card, new suit of clothes, revolver, number plates, bunch of auto keys. The same morning Jacob Bassin discovered that his garage had been entered, some auto accessories stolen, also that the gasoline tank lock was broken and some gas gone. One man was arrested Friday on suspicion but there was no evidence on which to hold him.

REJECT HOBART SCHOOL BIDS Special Meeting Called for September 23 to Take Further Action. At a meeting of the Hobart board of education Thursday evening of last week the proposals received on August 23 for the construction of a new school building in that village were rejected on the ground that they were several thousand dollars in excess of the appropriation of $31,000 voted by the district. The board was of the opinion that it had no authority to modify the plans of the building or change the materials of which it was proposed to construct it without first submitting the matter to a vote of the district. The appropriation was voted with the understanding that a brick building, partially semi-fireproof in construction, would be built. The recent rapid advance in the price of building materials has made impossible the construction of such a building within the specified sum, and in the opinion of the board there are two alternatives, if the building is to be built within the next five years. One is for the district to vote an additional appropriation of $15,000 for a building of the type planned; the other to authorize the board to contract for the construction of a building, of such size and type as the department of education will approve, that can be built within the appropriation of $31,000. A special school meeting has been called for September 23, at which these alternative propositions will be submitted to vote.

STRIKERS CONTROL CAUCUS Dictate Nominations in Republican Primary at Sidney Thursday. The troubles at the Kayser silk mill again entered into Sidney’s community matters last Thursday when the unofficial Republican caucus was held. H. C. Kibbe, who was elected chairman, ruled that any person who was willing to take oath that he was a voter and intended to support the candidates nominated was entitled to vote whether he was registered as a Republican or not. Once the bars were let down by the chairman’s ruling the strikers and their sympathizers had everything their own way. A. B. Martin was nominated for supervisor, receiving 193 votes to 141 for Joseph M. Moore. For superintendent of highways Charles Wood was nominated, receiving 186 votes to 63 for A. M. Shutts, the present incumbent. Other nominations were as follows: Town clerk, A. M. Lane; collector, Louis Axtell; justices of the peace, E. A. Howes and William Thorp; overseer of the poor, Fred B. Wilbur; assessors, A. E, Covey and Alex Edwards; constables, W. R. Dickinson, W. C. Burnside, Irving Dewey, Edward Rink, J. C. Lambert. Steps will be taken it is stated to set the nominations of the caucus aside as Section 17 of the election law provides that no voter may take part in a party caucus unless he is enrolled with the party in whose primary election he seeks to participate.

has three emblems: a cross and anchor, a tablet containing the commandments and an open Bible with “Thy word is truth.” Grandma’s recipe for Chili Sauce - my regular chili sauce that I made for years. 12 ripe tomatoes, 6 onions diced up, 3 green peppers diced up, 2 cups sugar, 2 1/2 cups vinegar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cloves, 1 tsp nutmeg. Mix all together and simmer for a couple hours or until veggies are well cooked. Put in jars and seal in hot water bath. My thoughts of the week: Delhi was a busy place last weekend with the college kids coming in to start their year off. In just the week’s time the weather has cooled down especially at night. I like it better than the very hot days we’ve had. It is now the time to get the gardens cleaned up for winter. I know I’ve had a good row of tomatoes and I love them when they are fresh. We do miss having Aitken’s corn here - now there isn’t any place locally to get fresh corn. They haven’t started to turn color yet but it won’t be long before the leaves start to fall. Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: One day a lady came in to a little grocery store that took in eggs, cream and butter from the local farmers in exchange for groceries - she had two dozen eggs and a pound of butter. She ordered her groceries, including a pound of butter. “But lady,” the clerk said,

On Sept. 8, the Delaware Co. Democrats will have a community barbecue featuring chicken, salads and desserts, live music, a silent auction and speeches from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Hamden Town Pavilion. DeLancey Church history: ...the windows are all memorial windows, except two, one in the cloak room and one in the vestibule, and all are handsome and appropriate in design and rich in colors. They are an honor to the church and a credit to the donors. The first to be mentioned is the large one on the right of the audience room, which like all the large windows is in three parts. The center bears the name BRYCE, on the left WIGHT and on the right McLAUGHLIN, each with appropriate emblems. These family names have been prominent in the history of the church since its foundation to the present time, even unto the second and third generations. To the left is the KNOWLES window, rich in coloring, emblem is a calla lily. To the right is a window inscribed to the memory of DR.

“you already have a whole pound of butter.” “I know,” the lady said as she looked around, “but a rat fell in the cream last night and I wouldn’t want to eat that butter.” “I understand,” the clerk said. “He took her butter back to the cooler.” Moments later he pressed a fancy mold onto the butter and brought it back out. “Oh, thank you,” the woman said with surprise, “and such a lovely pattern on it.” Senior Moments: About ten minutes into my high school reunion, I noticed how bad my memory had gotten. Nobody looked familiar and I didn’t recognize anybody’s name. About 20 minutes in, I really noticed how bad my memory had gotten when I realized I was at the wrong reunion party. A cute saying: Adventure is worthwhile in itself. Helpful Hint: As a general rule the flavor of yellow or orange tomatoes is milder than most red tomatoes. Botanically speaking tomatoes are fruits, but in 1893 the Supreme Court ruled that tomatoes were to be considered vegetables. Use a serrated knife to slice tomatoes. Its teeth catch the skin more easily and help prevent bruising and squashing. Don’t refrigerate tomatoes, it destroys their flavor and turns the insides mealy. Store in a single layer at room temperature out of sunlight.

Two more aces were plated in the seventh to take an 11-10 lead, but Fleischmanns’ finest would plate two more themselves in the eighth and ninth innings while sending the Mutuals down in order in their half of the innings, preserving the lead and notching the win by a final score of 14-11. Game two was played by the rules of 1865 - the first year of “the fly game” when fair balls had to be caught in the air and not on one bounce as in previous seasons. The M.A.C. tallied an “ace” (term for a run scored in the 1860s) in all but one inning to rout the Mutuals 24-2 led by tricky pitching from Archie “The Lumberman” Biruk. Biruk, a 19year veteran of the local vintage baseball circuit, also led the day’s offense with seven hits and 6 RBI. Rookie second baseman, Justin “JJ” Johnson also had a solid day at the plate going 6 for 10 with 5 runs scored. The M.A.C. will head to Peekskill Stadium on Sunday, Sept.

CRC Hosts 150 Participants For Catskill Mountain Cycling Challenge By Rosie Cunningham ARKVILLE - The Fifth Annual Catskill Recreational Center (CRC)in Arkville, hosted 150 bikers on Sept. 1 for the Catskill Mountain Cycling Challenge (CMCC). The CMCC is recreational road cycling in the Western Catskills, and cyclists can participate in one of three routes

ranging from 29 miles to 99 miles. The scenic pedal supported new and traditional programming at the CRC. “We had a total of 150 riders,” said CRC Director Rebecca Manning. “All of which returned safely and enthusiastic.” Manning said the day went “splendidly.” “The reports from the rid-

ers were that the courses were marked well,” she said. “The support staff was friendly, the food and beer (donated by the Catskill Brewery) hit the spot and the weather was perfect for riding.” The funds raised will help cover the general operating funds at CRC, which will allow the center to keep the membership rates low, allowing

more people to gain membership at the CRC. On the day of the Sept. 1 event, Manning announced that they had over 150 pre-registered riders. However many participants registered the day of. Three weeks ago, there were only 25 pre-registered riders and Manning considered canceling the event. “Riders often wait and watch the weather before registering,” she said. “It was actually 129 pre-registered, so we had 29 day of registrations. It ended up being the most at-

tended challenge we have held yet. The Catskill Mountain Cycling Challenge is an event that is meant for all leaves of riders. We want people to expand their comfort zones by riding a little farther than they think they can and with the support of volunteers and other staff they will find that they can do more. I believe that is why the 57 mile ride was the fullest. Next year, we are considering re-instating the family friendly ride of 11 miles that goes up Dry Brook Road.”

UNATEGO - Unatego had a commanding 4-1 win on Saturday during its home opener. Junior Dana Stepp tallied a hat trick (three goals) in the victory. In the opening frame, New Paltz scored to take a 1-0 lead. However, just moments later, Paige McCoy responded for the Spartans as she converted a pass from Stepp into a goal to tie up the match. “For us to turn around and tie it back up was awesome because the girls did not get frustrated,”

Unatego coach Sue Herodes said. “This group, they’ve played together enough, they are learning you can’t dwell, you just have to come back. Us scoring right after that really deflated them.” Before going into the half, Unatego scored two more goals. Stepp scored once again off a pass from teammate Anabel Rommer and again, off of a pass from Hali Lucia. Meghan Perry made seven stops for Unatego, while teammate Haleigh Burton had four.

Gov. Cuomo Signs Legislation Requiring Football Program

To Provide Parents Info On Concussion And Sub-Concussive Blows Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation (S.2958A/A.6968) requiring tackle football programs to provide the parents or guardians of all participating children with informational packets regarding concussions and sub-concussive blows, and the injuries that may result from receiving such blows. “The medical research on the long-term effects of concussions and sub-concussive hits continues to evolve and it is essential that we provide the parents of young athletes with the latest up-to-date information,” Governor Cuomo said. “Parents should have the facts when it comes to the wellbeing of their children and access to this information will help with decisionmaking and encourage best practices on the field.” Senator Liz Krueger said, “The impacts of a concussion on a child’s developing brain can be devastating. That’s why it’s so important that parents and guardians have complete and accurate information about the risks of traumatic brain injury involved in tack-

le football. I thank the governor for signing this legislation and helping to protect one of New York’s most important resources - our kids.” Assembly Member Michael Benedetto said, “I thank Governor Cuomo for seeing the wisdom of this legislation. Each year we have learned more and more about the hazards to the brain caused by multiple blows to the head.

Rosie’s Rounds By Rosie Cunningham

It’s Mayor’s Cup week in Stamford! There was nothing better than playing under the lights at the Archibald Field. I made my rounds and talked to most of the coaches in the Midstate Athletic Conference and made my rounds in the Delaware League - and caught a few scrimmages. In the Delaware League, the team to beat in my opinion, is South Kortright on the boys side and the same goes for the girls, followed by the boys and girls Blue Devils. Burt Reed’s team (Downsville girls) should be strong as well and he is one of the best coaches in the league, so they have that support. There are two goalies vying for time between the posts for the SKCS boys. Between Aidan Fox graduating this past June and Noah Dougherty before that, those will be some big gloves to fill as those two goalies were some of the best I have seen as of late. As for the boys this year, Margaretville has the best keeper around in Billy Smith. Next week I am doing fall sports previews for the MAC - I have some previews, but a little more than half. Please call or e-mail with the information, it takes five minutes and again,

fans, parents and the kids appreciate it. I know school was out and it has been tough, but the only team I couldn’t get in the sports preview for the DL this edition around is the Roxbury Girls Varsity team - the deadline was missed. Each year, I do these at the same time and there are far too many teams to have to reach out to multiple times. I saw the work of the Unatego soccer squad and in particular Dana Stepp, a junior, who had a hat trick against New Paltz. She could be the best girl in the league and I am looking forward to her work on the soccer field this season. As Tom Coddington retired from The Reporter, I will be taking over football and am open to suggestions. As I am not as familiar with the sport as I am with others, please send or call in detailed results. I got the hang of wrestling near the end of the season last winter, but it wasn’t without help from individuals and wrestling enthusiasts. E-mail me MAC previews this week at r.cunningham@ the-reporter.net or call 607386-8639.

Canada Goose Season Is Open

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced that Canada goose hunting season opened Sunday, Sept. 1, throughout most of the state. The September goose hunting season is designed to help reduce or stabilize resident Canada goose populations. Resident Canada geese are those that do not migrate significant distances to breed in northern Canada. Typically, resident geese are the birds commonly associated with nuisance situations in urban and rural areas. Over the past 25 years, New York’s estimated population for resident Canada geese has grown from 80,000 birds in 1995 to more than 340,000 today. The September Canada goose season occurs in all goose hunting zones except the Western Long Island zone. All upstate areas open Sept. 1 through Sept. 25. Canada goose seasons in the Central and Eastern Long Island zones begin on the Tuesday following the Labor Day holiday (Sept. 3 this year) and run through Sept. 30. In the Western Long Island zone, the season opens on Oct. 12. The September season includes liberal bag limits (eight to 15 birds/day, depending on zone), extended shooting hours, and other special regulations to maximize hunter success. Additional details on waterfowl hunting regulations, season dates, hunting area boundaries, and bag limits can be found on DEC’s website, www.dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/28888.html. To participate in the Septem-

ber Canada goose hunting season, hunters must: • Possess a 2019-2020 hunting license now on sale at all license issuing agents and many town halls and sporting goods stores; • Be registered for the 20192020 New York Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP); and • All hunters 16 years of age or older must have a 2019-2020 federal duck stamp signed across the face of the stamp in ink. For a list of ways to purchase a hunting license, visit DEC’s website. To register with HIP visit DEC’s webpage. To purchase a Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, visit the local post office or the USPS webpage. This year’s junior duck stamp features the artwork of New York artist Nicole Jeon, a 16-year-old from Scarsdale. Jeon took top honors in the 2019 National Junior Duck Stamp Contest. Her acrylic painting of a harlequin duck beat superb “Best of Show” art from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Jeon’s painting will be made into the 2019-2020 Junior Duck Stamp, which sells for $5 and supports conservation education. For more information, visit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Migratory Bird Program website. Hunting Safety And Etiquette DEC reminds hunters to follow simple safety guidelines and use good judgment when choosing a time and place to hunt. Being considerate of other people who enjoy the outdoors or live near hunting areas can help avoid po-

tential conflicts and ensure a safe and enjoyable season. As coastal areas become more populated, new landowners unfamiliar with the safety, ethics and traditions of waterfowl hunting sometimes respond by seeking to limit hunter access to popular waterfowl hunting areas. Hunters should be considerate and minimize any disturbance of local residents whenever possible. To avoid or minimize conflicts with property owners and other outdoor enthusiasts, DEC encourages hunters to: • Consider contacting owners of property adjacent to where they will be hunting, well in advance; • Tell property owners when and where they will be hunting. Property owners may be less concerned if aware of planned hunts; • Take the time to explain to the landowner the intent to abide by the laws and regulations pertaining to waterfowl hunting, familiarity with the locations of houses, and safety protocols; • Plan out shooting directions and verify that the selected hunting spot is safe and in compliance with the law. Keep in mind that shot pellets, especially when discharged at a high angle, can sometimes travel farther than 500 feet; • Identify any concerns the landowner may have and discuss them before you go hunting; and • Leave hunting locations as clean as you found it and be sure to pick up your empty shell casings and other litter you may find.

Susquehanna River Basin Commission To Meet Friday The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) will hold its quarterly business meeting Friday, Sept. 6, at 9 a.m., at the Big Flats Community Center, 476 Maple Street, Big Flats. The meeting is open to the public. The Commissioners will act on several agenda items, including 17 project applications, one of which is an out-of-basin diversion; a request for extension of an emergency certificate; a motion to release for public comment a rulemaking proposal for revisions to consumptive use regulations; approval of grants and agreements; and acceptance of a proposed settlement. SRBC staff will also report on delegated settlements. Opportunities for public comment on project applications were previously provided and additional comments will not be accepted at the meeting. However,

the Commissioners may accept general public comments at the conclusion of the meeting. SRBC’s guidelines for quarterly business meetings include: • Attendees must sign-in and show photo identification. • Signage, posters, banners or other display media will be permitted only in designated areas. • The press will be permitted to set up and use video and recording devices in a designated area. The public will be permitted to use small, hand-held devices that remain in their possession and are used in a non-disruptive manner. The Susquehanna rises and flows through New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland into the Chesapeake Bay. For more information on the Commission, visit srbc.net or follow on Twitter: @ SRBCnews.

Help Monarchs On Their Long Migration South Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) begin their annual fall migration in mid- to late August. These butterflies are the greatgreat-grandchildren of the monarchs that migrated south last fall, overwintered in Mexico, and began one leg of the journey north. You can help monarchs by providing food (nectar) and keeping these areas protected: • Turn a portion of your lawn into a wildflower meadow - plant milkweed or other native wildflowers. • Delay mowing areas with

milkweed until later in the fall. • Avoid using herbicides - they kill all life-stages of monarchs (egg, caterpillar, cocoon, and adult). • Report sightings of adults journeynorth.org/reg/. View a map of the sightings so far this year at maps.journeynorth.org/ map/?map=monarch-adultfall&year=2019. If you don’t know when their migration peaks in your area, see the chart that breaks it down by latitude at www.monarchwatch. org/tagmig/peak.html.

Learn About American Ginseng At Woodchuck Lodge Annual Meeting To Follow

Learn about American Ginseng in “American Ginseng: Historical Roots” with Anna Plattner during Woodchuck Lodge’s Wild Saturday program Saturday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. The annual membership meeting of John Burroughs’ Woodchuck Lodge will follow at 2 p.m. American Ginseng is a small, native plant growing in the deep woods of the Catskills which had a special role in American history. Join Plattner of American Ginseng Pharm to learn about the history of this unique plant, from its home in our forests to the early trade of the 18th century and, ultimately, to its cultivation today. This free event takes place at Woodchuck Lodge, 1633 Burroughs Memorial Road, Roxbury. For more information or images visit www.jbwoodchucklodge.org. Woodchuck Lodge will be open to the public Saturday, Sept. 6 and Sunday, Sept. 7 for

tours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with docents to guide visitors. Woodchuck Lodge will also be open Oct. 5 and 6 for tours.

FERPA is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of student records. The law gives parents and students over 18 years of age (referred to in the law as “eligible students”) the following rights: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the district receives a request for access. Parents or eligible students should submit to the Building Principal a written request that identifies the records they wish to inspect. The Principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask the district to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading by writing the Principal, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed, and specifying why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the district will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records,

except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The exceptions, which permit disclosure without consent, include disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests or an authorized representative. A school official is a person employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task(such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. An authorized representative is any individual or entity designated by a State or local educational authority or a Federal agency headed by the Secretary, the Comptroller General or the Attorney General to carry out audits, evaluations, or enforcement or compliance activities relating to educational programs. Upon request, the district discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. For a complete list of exceptions to FERPA’s prior consent requirements, please speak with the District Office. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the district to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 600 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20202-4605 NOTIFICATION OF DIRECTORY INFORMATION DESIGNATIONS In addition to the rights outlined above, FERPA also gives the school district the option of designating certain categories of student information as “directory information.” Directory information includes student: • Name • Address (except information about a homeless student’s living situation, as described below) • Telephone number • Date and place of birth • Major course of study • Participation in school activities or sports • Weight and height if a member of an athletic team • Dates of attendance, • Degrees and awards received • Most recent school attended • Class Designation/ Grade level • Digital images and video with or without name • E-mail address (school) • Enrollment status Information about a homeless student’s living situation shall be treated as a student educational record, and shall not be deemed directory information.

know his step-grandchildren and considered them family as well. He had a reputation for being a constant joker and loved to tease you. His hope was always that you would tease right back. Gene loved talking to friends and strangers alike and could find fun in everyone he met and everywhere he went. He found these friends in IBM, at the church, at the beach, playing sports, in the neighborhood, at the Elks Club, and in his extended family everywhere. He loved to swing dance with his wife Mary and their dance club became a rich source for many friendships. He is missed dearly by all who knew him.

Eugene H. Shaver Eugene (Gene) H. Shaver, our beloved husband, father and grandfather left for his heavenly home on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019.

He leaves his one and only love of 59 years, Mary (Jackson) Shaver; his son, Eric and his wife Gail Gaetani; his daughter, Sonja Fuller and her husband Andy; his sisters, Gale Shaver and Elaine Brooks; four grandchildren: Sophia and Sedona Shaver and Amy and Adam Fuller; and many other relatives and close friends. He was predeceased by his brother Allen. He was born on Aug. 2, 1936, in Andes, to Allen J. Shaver and Lillian Misner. He started a life-long passion for sports, particularly baseball, at an early age which carried throughout his lifetime. After high school he enlisted into the U.S. Army with his best friend, Fred Wilson, and was assigned to the signal corp. He became an instructor in cathode ray tube theory at Fort Monmouth, N.J. After his discharge he returned home and became reacquainted with a now grownup girl he used to tease as a child, Mary Jackson. Mary and Gene were married in July 1960. He started the family in San Jose, Calif., with Sonja and Eric and moved the family of four to Burlington, Vermont in 1967. Burlington has been home since and the starting place for so much of what he was proud to provide for his family. His time on the Burlington City Council was a source of pride for him, knowing he could give back and help the community he loved. He loved to spend time on the lake, attend or coach absolutely any sport he could, and taught himself to ski. He became a hockey player at 40. You could find him skiing, skating, playing basketball, softball, baseball, tennis, water-skiing... you name it. Later in life he took joy in his grandchildren , taking every opportunity to teach, coach, play and tease another generation of Shavers. He enjoyed getting to

Our goals this season are to solidify fundamentals, beat last year’s record, and make it into sectional play.” Losses from the previous season due to graduation: Justine Lubbers, Kayla Beers, Kendra Kohout, Kayla Kohout, Morgan Pierce, Lexie Cobb, Amber Cargill and Madison Pedrick. MacNeill discussed who the teams to beat will be this season. “South Kortright has a team with strong passing and communication skills – they will be a challenging opponent, for sure,” said MacNeill. “Also, after losing to Roxbury in sectionals last year, it would be nice to have a chance at redemption.

Greg Funk will lead the Rockets onto the golf course this season as head coach. Top returning players are junior - Trent FaulknerSquires and sophomores - Ian Walker and senior Andrew Chojnowski. Additional players are: junior - Eric Ianiello, sophomore - Ryder Albano, and eighth graders - Dennis Slauson, Tea Mattice, George Proctor. “We lost Isaac Walker and Nick Vajtay from last years golf team,” said Funk. “Their consistent rounds in the high 30’s and 40’s will be missed. My current group; most of them play a lot on their own, so it is fun to watch them get better. It is tough to ‘coach/teach’ anyone that plays on the golf team, as you have one day of practice before matches start. Then most of the kids play soccer, so practices are few and far between. If you have kids that play on their own, you will compete. If you do not, it shows.” Roxbury lost one match last year to Hunter-Tannersville Central School (H-T), who ultimately won the league. Currently the team is 6-1 this year after losing to H-T last week by one-stroke.
