BOS Chair Admits Action Taken in Executive Session By Lillian Browne
DELHI – Testimony regarding seven undisclosed charges which allege acts of misconduct, breach of loyalty, conduct unbecoming an employee, refusal to participate in meetings or collaborate with fellow department heads, obstruction of prosecution of court cases and more by Delaware County Commissioner of Social Services Dana ScuderiHunter, began Wednesday, Sept. 18, in a public disciplinary hearing at the Delaware County Public Safety Complex in Delhi. Scuderi-Hunter was suspended - placed on administrative leave with pay - on July 9, by letter signed by Delaware County Board of Supervisors Chairperson Tina Molé. Scuderi-Hunter was not advised of the reasons for her suspension until mid-August. The allegations, the basis for the suspension, have not been made public. The Reporter was denied a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request for the allegations against Scuderi-Hunter by Delaware County and was twice denied access to the list of charges which was received as a County Exhibit in the proceeding on Wednesday by Hearing Officer Alfred Riccio. Five hours of testimony by witnesses for Delaware County revealed that the Delaware County Board of Supervisors took action to suspend Scuderi-Hunter in executive session on July 1, according to Delaware County Supervisor Chairperson Tina Molé. Action taken in executive session is a violation of a New York State

Opening Statements
In his opening statement, attorney Frank Miller, representing Delaware County as “outside” counsel, said Scuderi-Hunter, shortly after being appointed in Jan. 2015, “embarked upon a campaign of very difficult and egregious behavior” consisting of repeated aggressive, abusive and extreme conduct. Her behavior, Miller continued, degraded the relationships between Social Services and other departments such as Mental Health, Public Health, the County Attorney’s office and Probation. Scuderi-Hunter also made representations, Miller said, that a child advocacy center was needed in the county which was inappropriate and unneeded. Her actions, Miller continued, created a toxic environment at great cost

John Phraner, co-owner of Empire Metal Work in Walton, gives local elected officials and Chamber of Commerce members a tour of the Williams Street manufacturing plant on Saturday, Sept. 21. By Lillian Browne WALTON - A 190,000 square foot manufacturing facility on Walton’s Williams Street - Empire Metal Works - has become an anchor of the business community and is poised to expand. Walton elected officials and chamber of commerce members toured the facility with co-owners John and Jim Phraner and investor John Corr, on Saturday, Sept., 21. The tour, organized through the effort of the Walton Chamber of Commerce, detailed the importance of manufacturing as an economic driver in the town and village. The manufacturing facility is currently staffed with 54 fulltime employees with a weekly payroll of $50,000. Those dollars, co-owner John Phraner said, are circulating through the local economy, making Empire Metal Works a key component of Walton’s economic viability. “A by-product of being a successful company,” co-owner Jim Phraner said, “is that it’s good for everybody.” Empire Metal Works officially opened Jan. 7 after buying out Northeast Fabricators. Walton Council member Kevin Armstrong noted the importance
of manufacturing and of Empire Metal Works in particular. “Hopefully this will entice more businesses to come to Walton,” Armstrong said. In the wake of the closure of various Walton manufacturing businesses, such as DelMet, Bailey’s and the Foundry, the community has seen a decline in both population and other businesses that were supported by the employees of those manufacturing
companies. Despite economic setbacks, Walton Chamber of Commerce Vice President Keath Davis said that Walton is “not dead.” The community has potential, he assured the Phraners. “But we do have a roadblock called New York City,” Davis said, referring to the regulatory stronghold by the City’s Department of Environmental Protection due to the See Empire Metal Works page 3

So it’s officially fall, turning on Monday from summer. My favorite time of year! Cooler nights, beautiful mountains full of color. We don’t turn the clocks back until Nov. 3 but it’s time to enjoy these fall days before winter comes. Free community soup and sandwich dinner at the Christ Church Episcopal on Gardiner Place tonight - Wednesday, from 4:30—5:30 p.m. All are welcome. The Plymouth Church is having a service to dedicate the reconstruction of the building to the Lord’s work Sunday, Sept. 29 at 5 p.m. This is a correction of time since last week. All are welcome. A time of fellowship will follow the dedication in the new VanBreeman Center, named after Margaret VanBreeman who donated the money to renovate the church. Pastor Robert Wilke and his family would love to see everyone attend the celebration. The second “If Gravestones Could Talk” living history tour Saturday at the Walton Cemetery was a wonderful experience. Eight “stories” were told by high school students at the graves of prominent Waltonians. Jen Bartlett assembled the students, the Walton Historical Society provided the research, and the children adapted the facts to portray the story to the crowd who assembled in the trolley and walking tour. Kudos to Dominick Siniscalchi, Isaac Vesterfelt, Caden LeBarge, Molly McClenon, Cara Gielskie, Gage Lambert, Anthony Cetta and Meyer Little, for bringing these stories from Walton’s past to life. In a very nice aside, Anthony Cetta got to play his great-grandfather, Joseph Cetta! Other Walton figures portrayed were Grant Rogers, Dan Nichols, Dr. James Holley, Gabriel North, Edmond More, Andrus Crabbe and William Austin. Special thanks to the Walton Historical Society for tackling the project again and producing it. It was so well received I hope they will plan another. There is a wonderful tour coming up in Walton sponsored by the West Kortright Center on Sunday, Sept. 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. For a $20 donation, the Center will provide a guide to barns in the Walton area. The annual barn tour has been a sponsor favorite,
SINCE 1966
and now it’s Walton’s turn. Walton native Lindy Taggart helped create the tour of “overshot” barns that characterize Walton’s agricultural heritage and beautiful countryside. Lindy said, “The architects and builders of these barns probably had no more than an eighth grade education, yet they could set up a sawmill in the brook to cut the timber, assemble it on the ground and then have a “barn raising.” She added, “The stone foundations supported the barns and stone “bridgeways” allowed access to hay mows. Some had cupolas to ventilate and decorate, as well as ornate trim,” beautiful historically and their architecturally. The tour will include a working dairy farm, horse stable, and barns that have been preserved or repurposed. To take the tour, meet at 245 Budine Road off of County Road 22, East Brook, Walton. They recommend four hours for the complete tour - 32 miles of back roads, hills and hollows, rain or shine. If you have any questions, contact Lindy Taggart at 865-6251. Aaron Gilmore told me that its prime time for us to see the International Space Station flying over our area. Last Friday, I was able to see it clearly, even in the village, as I caught it as I was leaving my son’s house. It looks like a very bright star that moves quickly across the sky, but it’s one bright light (because it’s a reflection of the sun shining on it) rather than a plane with blinking lights. To see it there are several more opportunities in the coming week to catch it. Go to www. spotthestation.nasa.gov for a list of opportunities. This week around 7:12 p.m. each night you will be able to see it - on Friday, Sept. 27, Sunday, Sept. 29, Tuesday, Oct. 1 and Thursday, Oct. 3. Saturday, Sept. 28 8:01 pm will be the best time to see it and it will be visible for four minutes - that might be easier since it will be a little darker. Aaron’s whole family, some neighbors and friends watched it which sparked a great learning opportunity and discussion and, no special equipment is needed to see it. Just look skyward at the right time. A 10-week discipleship course open to everyone called “Freedom In Christ” will begin Oct.
7 at the New Hope Community Church. The study will teach who we are in Christ and how to defeat the enemy of your faith. The study will be split into two sessions: five weeks this fall, and five weeks this winter. There is a sign up sheet in the Harby Center at the church or contact Pastor Larry Light. Operation Christmas Child is ramping up to send Christmas shoe boxes to children in need. There will be several fundraising events to continue this successful ministry. On Oct. 25, support and join the chili cook-off, and Oct. 26 there will be a pumpkin roll baking event. On Nov. 6 there will be a packing party, and Nov. 18 will start collection week - a list will be released of what things are still needed. On Nov. 30 there will be a Christmas breakfast. More details will follow, but mark note these coming events. Junie Stanton host a community picnic on Sunday, Sept. 29 starting at 3 p.m. at the Walton Vet’s Club. He will provide hot dogs and hamburgers and others are invited and asked to bring a dish to pass. Children are welcome and encouraged. Corn hole games will be set up. The purpose of the picnic is to gather with friends and family for fun. Junie decided to do this last year after his brother Ed passed - he didn’t want funerals to be the only time friends and family come together. Walton Girl Scout Troop 30081 will have completed their silver awards, the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn, at the end of September. The award requires at least 50 hours of dedication and learning. The troop will host a family picnic on Sunday, Sept. 29 from 1-3 p.m. at Lower Bassett Park on Griswold Street to point out the work they have done there. Bring your lunch, a blanket or chairs and enjoy live music by local musician Ron Richards. Bring Frisbees and outdoor and lawn games and enjoy the park with your family. The troop will be there to answer questions and show what they have accomplished for this project. History on the park has been compiled by the girls and they would like to share it. Walton filmgoers can unite with audiences in over 400 cities on six continents to view and judge the work of filmmakers from around the world when the 22nd annual Manhattan Short Film Festival screens at the Walton Theatre Thursday, Sept. 26 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. Manhattan Short is the only event of its kind.

Phraners say they have not been hampered in any way by the regulatory environment and praised the village’s responsiveness in assistance with various things such as water shutoffs, when necessary. However, when asked by Supervisor Joe Cetta if there is something that elected officials could do to make Empire Metal Works planned expansion to 104 employees in the next three years easier, a request to remove municipally owned and positioned concrete barriers that block access to private businesses - McDonalds and CVS Pharmacy - via Water Street to allow employees quicker access to the business district and eateries during their lunch hour, was denied. By way of explanation, Cetta stated there is a long-range plan for that area. Trustee Dick Doig suggested Phraner’s employees could park on Water Street and walk to the business district. In response, Jim Phraner asked officials to be supportive of Empire Metal Works planned expansion with a vision for the future. Phraners do not have the same workforce development
Walton Trustee Appointed Following Resignation By Lillian Browne WALTON - Walton Trustees accepted the resignation of Jennifer Fay at a special meeting held Monday, Sept. 23. Fay was elected to fill a one year term, left vacant when Trustee Steve Condon was elected mayor earlier this year. Fay resigned from the position, according to Condon, to focus on higher education. In her place, the board unanimously appointed Steve Sehen, who held a trustee position for a number of years.

problems - a lack of employees - expressed by other Delaware County businesses. In contrast they said, they receive between 10 and 15 applications per week. The type of work done in the facility is specific and they are looking for employees that have fundamental skills but can be trained on the job. Phraners praised the BOCES training and vocational programs as foundationally elemental for their industry. Council member Patty Wood is optimistic, she said, that as more jobs become available at the facility, more people will want to move to Walton. The company manufacturers a variety of products including custom metal cabinets for batter-
ies and back-up battery systems for schools and hospitals, type A bus boxes (off the chassis) and doors for fire trucks, among other things. Representing the business community, Davis said it’s important for elected officials to realize the investment that private business makes in a community. The state of business in Walton, according to Davis, “Is not the best.” Hopefully, he said, businesses like Empire Metal Works can “incubate” and serve as an example to others. Walton has a hospital, a great school system, parks and outdoor recreation opportunities, Davis said, but available jobs are the key to the overall sustained success of any community.

Village Vision Comes To Life At Bainbridge Mural Unveiling
The mural at 1 Front Street in Bainbridge is 100 feet long and roughly 12 feet high, artists said. By Allison Collins Community spirit was strong in Bainbridge on Monday evening, Sept. 23 for the unveiling of the village’s new 100-foot-long mural, painted by artists Kimberly Knapp Moravcik and Christopher Lloyd Wright, both of Afton. The mural honors the village’s history with Native American and wildlife vignettes by Moravcik on either end, while Wright’s large center panel highlights contemporary Bainbridge life with scenes of the General Clinton Canoe Regatta, the village green and a downtown street fair. Nearly 100 attended the unveiling, including New York State Assemblyman Clifford Crouch of Bainbridge, who called the mural a “beautiful piece of art.”
“This does a lot and says a lot about Bainbridge,” Crouch said. “It gives a different character to our community and it’s something that’s going to be talked about in other communities around here.” Chamber of Commerce Vice President June White noted the turnout Monday was “more than expected.” White said the chamber commissioned the mural after Bainbridge resident Margie Hamer approached members years ago with the idea. “I just had this vision coming down from the head of the Susquehanna in Cooperstown one day about how to rig up attention for villages,” Hamer said. “I thought a mural or series of murals would sort of make for

a nice Sunday drive, and from there I researched and learned a lot about murals.” “The chamber approved sketches (by Moravcik and Wright) in July and then said, ‘Let’s get to work’,” White said. “We wanted to take Margie’s idea and run with it and now her vision has come to fruition.” Moravcik estimated putting in 15 hours of work on her portion of the mural and Wright said he logged about 60. Funding for the mural, White noted, was provided by the chamber and a grant for $1,800 from the Chenango Arts Council. All paints and special sealants, she said, were donated by Golden Artist Colors of Norwich. Wright said his depiction of village life is meant to be epitomizing. “I wanted to do something that would be appealing to everybody in Bainbridge,” he said. “And I wanted to give passersby glimpses of what it’s all about.” Situated as it is on the side of the TEPCO Automotive building, 1 Front Street, just after the Hugh A. Kearney Memorial Bridge, attendees said, the mural will greet village visitors coming and going. The building has been owned by Harpursville residents Joan and Brent Hacker since 1980. Brent Hacker noted: “It’s easy to see, so this was the perfect place.” “It’s a wonderful welcome into the village from either direction,” White said. “The comments and the buzz in town about it have been fabulous and people really love it. It’s dedicated to the citizens of Bainbridge.” “It’s a great addition and a great entry and exit to and from Bainbridge,” Bainbridge resident Pat Hanson echoed. “I think anything that beautifies the area is a good idea and as soon as I saw them gesso-ing over, I thought, ‘This is going to be something good.’” “I’ve been a lifelong resident of Bainbridge and I think it’s tremendous,” Nancy Brubaker said. “It’s so unique and it personifies Bainbridge. There’s a lot of community spirit that shines through here.” For more information on upcoming Bainbridge events, visit bainbridgeny.org or find “Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce” on Facebook.

During the past week several things happened. The temperature for the week was above average, first by a few degrees, then by Sunday, up to 81 degrees high - 14 degrees above normal. Second, it was a week of sunshine. We haven’t had that much sun in almost two years. Third, nighttime temperatures were below normal with one night at 34 degrees, and several others in the 30s. Last but not least, it was dry. A few people with springs now have a problem. For the month we are now behind. During the summer, which ended Monday at 3:50 a.m., we were a little behind July, a little behind in August, moderately behind in September and most of our rains were downpours. We really need a day or two of rain that can soak in and replenish groundwater. That won’t be this week. Chances of showers Monday and Thursday but no continuous rain and even those days? Forty percent chance. Temperatures will return to closer to normal with daytimes 6872 degrees - still above normal but not too much. Once again, we need a change in weather patterns - we’ll see. ~Frank

and “The Wire.” Simon is also an executive producer. According to Internet sources, “‘The Plot Against America’” is based off a novel by Philip Roth published in 2004. It is an alternative history in which Franklin D. Roosevelt is defeated in the presidential election of 1940 by Charles Lindbergh. The novel follows the fortunes of the Roth family during the Lindbergh
presidency, as antisemitism becomes more accepted in American life and Jewish-American families like the Roths are persecuted on various levels. The narrator and central character in the novel is the young Philip, and the care with which his confusion and terror are rendered makes the novel as much about the mysteries of growing up as about American politics.”
Colchester Board Sets Public Hearing For Downsville Water District Upgrades By Vicky Klukkert The Colchester Town Board, during its Sept. 18 meeting, voted to hold a public hearing regarding the Downsville Water District improvements on Oct. 16. The public hearing will be at 7 p.m. and will be, according to the resolution, “regarding increased estimated maximum cost for a water system improvement project for the Downsville Water District, in the Town of Colchester, in the County of Delaware, State of New York, pursuant to Section 202-b of the town law.” The town was approved to receive additional funds for the upgrades to the Downsville Water District (DWD) after bids for the upgrades exceeded the original price. A public hearing was held Feb. 21, 2017 about plans to change the municipal water source from well water to spring water. Delaware Engineering, P.C., prepared a preliminary engineering report
that included the following improvements: construction of a new water filtration plant for the existing spring source, furnishings, equipment, machinery and apparatus required. The New York State Department of Health approved the plans earlier this year and bids were requested. The bids exceeded the $318,000 grant the town received and the town was approved to receive a $150,000 loan. Delaware Engineering has estimated the total increased maximum cost of the project will not exceed $495,000. Anyone in the town can speak at the public hearing. Supervisor Art Merrill announced that the Friends of the Upper Delaware River and Trout Unlimited received grants totaling approximately $750,000, which will go to projects in Colchester. The grants were through the Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund distributed by the National Fish and Wildlife Feder-
ation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. According to Merrill, the funds received by Trout Unlimited will go towards the replacement of the culvert in Gregorytown. The other grant will go to stabilizing stream banks along the river. The rest of the meeting revolved around road repairs and vehicle purchases. The town purchased a 2019 Ford F-150 to replace a truck and also is replacing a salt truck. The town will sell its salt truck to the town of Decatur. Highway Superintendent Kenneth Eck said that the repairs made to Horse Brook Road were holding and Campbell Mountain Road remains a state of emergency while it is being repaired. The town approved a facilities use request made by the Downsville Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary for the use of Downsville Covered Bridge and Pepacton Parks for vendors to set up during the annual Maple Leaf Festival on Oct. 12.

A Family Affair: From Dairy To Pumpkin Farming By Rosie Cunningham
WALTON - With vast numbers of amazing pumpkins and more on the Walton property, the Donnelly Farm Stand has been an annual draw for locals and visitors each fall for decades. There are currently 5,000 pumpkins on display on East River Road and Tom Donnelly is working on the second cutting. The farm, owned by Tom and his wife, Ginny, boasts 100 acres which includes 12 acres of pumpkins, ornamental corn, gourds and winter squash as well as additional varieties of squash. “We started on a quarter of an acre because we knew a few people who sold and started this kind of business as a novelty
thing,” said Tom Donnelly. “But then it grew and grew and grew.” “We sell right out of here,” said Ginny Donnelly. “Everything we sell here is grown here.” “Different people do come to buy in bulk to resell, such as different farm stands, and an individual from the city who sells down there. He gets truckloads two to three times a year, as well as another gentleman.” Tom and Ginny enjoy working with their son Benjamin, a biologist, until he is off on his next adventure. In May, the family begins planting pumpkins which are harvested the first few days of September or “perhaps the end of August, depending on the year.”
The Donnelly family has been in the “pumpkin business” for years.

Donnelly discussed how the family got into the business. “When we were first married, we did it at a lower scale because my husband did the dairy farming,” she said. “But, we had three boys (Nathan, Christopher and Benjamin) and they got involved in many things and activities, so we quit selling for several years. Our youngest graduated from high school in 2010 - we started again that year.” The dairy business - they milked between 35-44 cows shut down in 2008 and Ginny retired from Walton Central School where she was a health and physical education teacher. “We sell our pumpkins in September through October, but generally shutdown so we don’t get burned out,” said Donnelly. “I have a lot of fun with the decorations and we meet a lot of nice people and each year it becomes a tradition for families to come. We don’t post hours - if the suns up, we are up.”
Rosie Cunningham/The Reporter
On weekends, the farm may have 20-40 cars on the property, but generally, the amount of visitors varies. “What we are most known for is our pumpkin totem poll,” she said. “We carve out 12-15 pumpkins in October and they are lit up. The tallest we have ever had is about 16 feet.” Ginny said the family utilizes their crop in the kitchen as well. “When my husband makes pies, he uses Blue Hubbard squash,” she said. “I love pumpkin bread, cake and cookies. We go through a lot of squash and pumpkins.” There are some new additions this year such as wheel barrows, the use of an existing structure and a parking area. Donnelly Farm Stand is open seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from mid September - Nov. 1 at 5709 E River Road in Walton.

Beautiful weather made the perfect backdrop for the 10th annual Sidney Center tractor parade on Saturday, Sept. 21.

2019 Sidney Center Tractor Parade Wows Again
By Sara Andros A light haze of blue smoke and the smell of diesel fuel signaled the start of the 10th annual Sidney Center Tractor Parade on Sept. 21. Spectators lined Main Street and county Route 23 to get a good view of the tractors of all kinds, ages and descriptions as well as an assortment of doodlebugs, vintage cars, lawn tractors and utility vehicles. The sunny, breezy, late summer day was the perfect setting.
This year the parade featured two Grand Marshals: Carl Gregory and Gerry Ruestow. Both men have deep roots in the farming community. Gregory has retired from farming but lends a hand to other farmers during planting and harvesting. Ruestow, a long time farmer with a penchant for collecting tractors, harvests and sells hay and baleage. His daughter Julie was able to join him in the parade, driving one of the family tractors. The parade is sponsored by the Family and Friends Church of Sidney Center and
is a celebration of farming, and the people and equipment that keep the farms going. Net profits from the parade are donated to local non-profit agricultural organizations. Entries with children and dogs added an extra element of fun to the parade, as did unusual vehicles like a giant roller skate and a large birthday cake float celebrating the parade’s 10-year anniversary. Even individuals with no farming experience could get caught up in the excitement of seeing large equipment operated by indi-
viduals of all ages, and feel a sense of pride to be in a community that supports the small family farms. In addition to the parade, the Sidney Center Fire Department prepared and sold barbecued chicken, and there were activities for children and adults. Local vendors displayed their wares and those in attendance were able to stroll around the hamlet and enjoy everything the event had to offer.
The Art of Quilting
Delaware County Quilt Show Continues Sept. 28 & 29 By Lillian Browne DELHI - More than 100 people attended day one of the 2019 Delhi Town and Country Quilters Quilt Show by the third hour of the show on Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Delaware County Historical Association. A steady stream of quilt fans and art and history lovers made their way through the museum where 50 quilts were on display many of the them for sale. The 25 member quilting circle meets two days a month to work on quilt projects, either collectively or individually, as well as to socialize. Each of the members are longtime quilters. Some consider themselves experienced novices, others rigid perfectionists. Each of the quilters has a particular reason and methodology in constructing a quilt. May Faulkner of DeLancey has been quilting since she moved to Delaware County in 1991. She took it up, she said, with seriousness and a chuckle, after being told that Delaware County winters are long, and that she should find something to do to occupy her time during those months. She loves connecting with other quilters, she said, and it’s a great opportunity to create something as well as socialize. She’s recently completed each of her unfinished quilts, she said, and gives a preview of an upcoming project - it’s blue. Doris Hartung, who moved to Andes in 1995, began quilting in 1970 when she received a Pfaff sewing machine. She’s working on a baby quilt for a great-nephew in an “Oh My Stars” pattern. She’s “precision-minded” when it comes to quilt-making, she said, and only quilts for a purpose. She always has some-
one in mind when making a quilt and never makes a quilt for the sake of quilting. She favors vibrant colors and always works from a pattern. Her inspiration, she said, comes from the pattern or the fabric, but “It’s always purposeful.” Walton quilter Emily Mikulewicz never uses someone else’s pattern, instead preferring to take her inspiration from various items - a Navajo canvas she viewed on an episode of ‘Antiques Road Show’ or a Wassily Kadinsky painting. She has several pieces on display including Navajo Yei which uses beads, buttons, cross stitch, ribbon and parachute cord. It’s a three-dimensional, un-patterned piece of art. Quilting, she said, provides her with a creative outlet and she said, it’s something that she does well. She’s made between 45 and 50 quilts, since the 1970s. After a hiatus, she picked it up again in the 1990s. “For a long time,” she said, ”I was very rigid in my belief that a quilt needed to have a bed beneath it.” She’s gotten over that notion very recently, she said. Another group member, Marianne Ciulla of Harpersfield, always considered herself someone who sews, rather than someone who quilts. She used to sew clothing. That fell out of fashion years ago, she said, and so she took up quilting. Now, Ciulla said, she considers herself a quilter. The mission of the group, member Becky Wasserstrom said, is to promote quilt making, educate the public about the art and craft and to give back to the community through charity projects. Quilters save their fabric scraps and throughout the year
make dog and cat pillows that are donated to the Heart of the Catskills Humane Society, as an example of a charity project. There is a blue and white Nine Patch pattern raffle quilt which will help raise funds that will be used to help pay for fuel and electric costs in their meeting space. A “Viewers Choice” contest will be held through the final day of the show Sunday, Sept. 29. The collaborative show is open Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28 and 29, and throughout the week during DCHA normal business hours. For more information about the show call DCHA at 607-746-3849 or visit dcha-ny. org. For information about joining the Delhi Town and Country Quilters call Becky Wasserstrom at 607-746-3733.

The quilt consists of over 1,250 pieces and unfinished, was donated to Elijah’s Closet Thrift Shop in Walton. Wasserstrom undertook completing the quilt, taking it on in 2017 and finishing it in 2019. She continues to search for the person who started the quilt, choose the fabrics and cut the pieces.

DSS Commissioner... continued from front page to the county. “Her conduct has significantly impaired county operation,” Miller said. Scuderi-Hunter, Miller continued, performed “acts of disloyalty by repeatedly delivering assistance to juveniles.” The current and former Board of Supervisors Chairperson received a “deluge” of complaints from employees as to how they were treated by Scuderi-Hunter, Miller said, and Scuderi-Hunter had long-simmering disputes with former County Attorney Porter Kirkwood and current County Attorney Amy Merklen. Summarily, Miller said, “We believe the only appropriate recommendation is immediate dismissal of employment. The county has been severely injured and damaged.” Scuderi-Hunter’s lawyer, Ronald Dunn, refuted Miller’s statements saying that ScuderiHunter has a fiduciary responsibility to both taxpayers and clients, and it is common that department heads frequently take positions which are uncomfortable for others. “That’s just a fact of life,” Dunn said. The morale in her department, Dunn said, has never been higher and she has done a good job of protecting taxpayers’ interest while running an efficient department. When and where necessary, Dunn said, Scuderi-Hunter made difficult choices to save money while providing a high level of quality service to the people served by the department. “What this case really boils down to,” he said, “is a fractured relationship between the county attorney’s office and social services.” The county attorney acted unethically, Dunn said, by representing two clients – social services and the probation department – in the same case, with opposing views. Lawyers have a code of professional ethics, he said. “It’s not a suggestion. It’s a legal obligation.” The ethics rules exist, he said, to prevent what happened in the case against Scuderi-Hunter. County Attorney Amy Merklen was embarrassed by the fact that the family court judge ruled in alignment with Scuderi-Hunter’s recommendations for a child in the custody of the department, Dunn said; but Merklen did not appeal the family court judge’s decision. Instead, Dunn said, Merklen wrote a letter to supervisors contending that ScuderiHunter was disloyal because she did not “obey the county attorney’s direction.” Scuderi-Hunter made a recommendation in the best interests of a child, and the judge agreed with her,” Dunn said. “All of the other stuff is background noise and happens to be untrue,” Dunn said.
Witnesses For Delaware County
Former Delaware County Board of Supervisors Chairman and Harpersfield Supervisor James Eisel was the first witness to testify who said “rumors” about Scuderi-Hunter began shortly after her appointment as department head in 2015. Dunn repeatedly objected to

Eisel’s recounting of any alleged conduct by Scuderi-Hunter that occurred more than 18 months ago as the statue of limitations bars introduction of evidence outside of that time frame. Miller argued that the testimony about alleged incidents before 2018 was “background” and “preparatory” to set up charges of misconduct and insubordination. Riccio allowed the background testimony from Eisel which included a recitation of third-party conversation between unnamed employees who felt their complaints were not being addressed within the department. “One individual came down and talked to me about the fact that people were leaving the county. There were quite a few of them that felt they were not getting the right responses from the commissioner,” Eisel testified. Eisel said he also received complaints from staff about foster care placements. The number of children in foster care, he said, went from 100-105 to 29 or 30, and while that’s a “good thing,” staff was telling him that children should not be returned to their parents. The county receives funds from federal and state sources, Eisel said, to provide care for children in foster care. “My concern was that these children were going back into the environment that they came from.” Eisel also testified that employees complained that Scuderi-Hunter belittled them. He talked to her about the rumors and her management style with the hopes that she would “correct the error of her ways.” Eisel said that one staff member told him Scuderi-Hunter “did a lot of screaming and carrying on.” He received daily complaints about Scuderi-Hunter from former County Attorney Porter Kirkwood, Eisel said, who told him that she wanted to control the legal department. As evidence of that control, Eisel said, Scuderi-Hunter refused to sign a cooperative agreement between social services and the county attorney’s department until a time study had been conducted to calculate how much time the county attorney’s office spent in representing social services for justification of the $850,000 paid to the county attorney’s office by social services. Eisel testified that Kirkwood resisted a time study and questioned the reduction of numbers of children placed in foster care. He never heard complaints about former Commissioner William Moon, Eisel testified. The complaints started after Scuderi-
Hunter took office. Under cross examination by Dunn, Eisel read from the civil service job description which states that the Commissioner of Social Services shall have “complete” control over the social services department. Eisel testified that it was appropriate for a commissioner to supervise the department in a manner that the commissioner sees fit. “I don’t agree with how she manages people. Her temperament has a lot to do with it,” Eisel said. “I just don’t think you belittle employees and expect a successful outcome and I think that was the reason for employees leaving,” Eisel said. Eisel also testified that other than verbally telling Scuderi-Hunter of the complaints, that he never followed up on the issues. When asked if he voted to give Scuderi-Hunter a pay raise in April 2019 after years of alleged complaints about her, Eisel responded, “I don’t recall” to the audible surprise of spectators at the hearing. Tearful testimony was also heard from former County Attorney Office and Social Services employee Angela Barnes who resigned from her position in June 2019. Barnes began her career with Delaware County, first with the county attorney’s office, then as a caseworker trainee and then as a caseworker. She resigned from her position, she said, because of how she felt she was being treated in the workplace. Barnes recounted a May 2019 incident in which she said she obtained verbal permission from a parent to place a child in a county-owned vehicle and transport the child to the probation department in Delhi to be drug tested. She did not know, she said, whether she complied with department policy to include a written note about parental permission in her case notes, she testified. In Delhi, the child refused the drug test, Barnes testified, and became disruptive. In a telephone conversation between Scuderi-Hunter and Barnes while Barnes was at the probation department, Barnes testified that Scuderi-Hunter told her to advise the probation department that the department’s recommendation for the child was not secure detention but treatment, and that the child should be placed in a foster home. Scuderi-Hunter raised her voice to Barnes in the telephone conversation, Barnes said. “I felt that I was being yelled at,” she said. The child was subsequently placed in secure detention following a court hearing, Barnes testified, and she felt threatened when Scuderi-Hunter told her if anything happened to the child while in detention that she would hold Barnes personally responsible for it. In front of other staff members, Barnes testified, Scuderi-Hunter then asked Barnes to produce all of her case notes regarding the incident and the child in question, which further made her feel, she said, like she wasn’t doing her job. Barnes’ supervisor addressed the issue with the department’s staff development coordina-
tor who directed Barnes to have a conversation with ScuderiHunter about how she felt. By that time, two days after the incident, her job assignment was altered, she said. Following that, she testified, she requested to be placed on medical leave because the stress of her job was affecting her health. She gave the county two weeks notice of her intent to leave her position on June 6, feeling as though she was being told she was placing children in harm’s way, when in contrast, she felt like the county was not doing enough to keep children safe or keep them from running away. Under cross examination, Barnes testified that she felt her direct supervisor was not supportive of her and Barnes admitted that she made a verbal, public statement about that case involving the child – that it would be the reason she quit her job. She was subject to a counseling session because of the statement, she testified, but was never told it was a counseling session. “I was told my comment was inappropriate,” Barnes said. Bovina Supervisor and Delaware County Board of Supervisors Chairperson Tina Molé concluded the day’s testimony, testifying that Scuderi-Hunter had been a problem upon being appointed as commissioner. She micromanaged her department, refused to collaborate with other department heads and treated her employees poorly, Molé testified. The complaints, Molé said, were mostly of Scuderi-Hunter’s management style. Probation Director Scott Glueckert told Molé he would rather resign than work with Scuderi-Hunter, Molé testified; and Mental Health Director Cindy Heaney told Molé that ScuderiHunter did not attend department head meetings because she was too busy micromanaging her department. “I don’t know how a leader can do their job efficiently trying to do everyone’s job,” Molé said. She did not believe that personality conflicts existed between staff members, Molé testified. Instead, she said, she saw it as Scuderi-Hunter wanting to have complete control of everything. However, Molé further testified, “I believe she has ultimate responsibility (for her department).” A slew of unnamed employees complained of belittling, favorit-

Likewise, Molé said, she received reports from the personnel director that staff members were complaining about Scuderi-Hunter. Though the county has a policy regarding workplace violence and bullying and the majority of staff are represented by a union, she was not aware of a written complaint made about Scuderi-Hunter, in accordance with county policy or union guidelines. Molé further testified that though she told Scuderi-Hunter of the nature of the complaints, she did not provide employee’s names for fear of retaliation despite the fact that employees are protected by a union under such circumstances. Molé said she did not provide details or examples of the complaints for fear Scuderi-Hunter would be able to identify specific employees. She was aware of the tension between Scuderi-Hunter and County Attorney Amy Merklen as both department heads had made complaints to Molé about the other. The friction, Molé said, should not have been made public. “I believe what should happen is that those two departments should talk about it before court and not make the county look like we don’t know what we are doing and embarrass the county,” Molé said. These types of situations, Molé continued, are usually worked out ahead of time and not aired out on the courtroom floor. Molé testified that she voted to give Scuderi-Hunter a pay raise in April, despite the complaints against Scuderi-Hunter. Pay raises for department heads, Molé said, have nothing to do with evaluation or performance.

Delaware County Commissioner of Social Services, Dana Scuderi-Hunter, consults with her attorney Ronald Dunn, following day one testimony in a disciplinary hearing against Scuderi-Hunter on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
Probation Dept. Role Is Focus Of Disciplinary Hearing, Day 2 Cayuga County Lawyer Testifies To Operations In Other Counties
Delaware County Probation Director Scott Glueckert gave conflicting testimony in day two of the disciplinary hearing against Scuderi-Hunter on Friday, Sept. 20, first saying that she was impossible to work with and then that the two had great rapport. Throughout his three hours of testimony, Glueckert, a 20-plus year employee of the Probation Department, testified that his relationship with Scuderi-Hunter was mostly adversarial, based upon incidents that arose in May and continued through June, involving three children. He also testified about an alleged incident that he said occurred several years prior to Scuderi-Hunter being appointed as Commissioner, in which Scuderi-Hunter “demanded” that a foster child be released from jail
following the child’s arrest on a probation warrant. In response to her demand, Glueckert said, he threatened to call the police and have her removed from his office. The alleged incident that Glueckert testified to was in spite of Dunn’s objection, repeated throughout the day, that any incidents occurring before the 18-month statute of limitation time frame be excluded from testimony. The alleged incident, Dunn said, has nothing to do with the underlying charges against Scuderi-Hunter which are not criminal in nature. Hearing Officer Alfred Riccio, hand-picked by Delaware County to decide the allegations against Scuderi-Hunter, echoed his day-one permission for unrelated incident testimony, to “pro-
vide background” and to provide a preparatory framework for the pending allegations against Scuderi-Hunter. Glueckert testified to his May 13 involvement with the child that former Delaware County DSS Caseworker Angela Barnes brought to Probation to be drug tested. Glueckert said that he was surprised that Barnes had placed the child in her vehicle and transported the child from Sidney to Delhi by herself. The child and the caseworker, Glueckert said, were both placed in a situation where something tragic could have happened because of the way the transport was done. The child refused the drug test and was belligerent and abusive and acting in a “completely unhinged manner,” Glueckert testified. The child tackled
him, knocking him to the floor, Glueckert said, when Glueckert told the child he was going to search the child’s back pack. The child was “deluded” from whatever narcotic he was on, Glueckert said. “Ironically,” Glueckert said, “there was nothing in the bag.” Once the child was handcuffed, Glueckert testified, he called Scuderi-Hunter to tell her he was bringing criminal charges against the child for the assault and that he was going to recommend that the child be placed in detention. “It’s like jail for kids. A secure facility with barbed wire, secure doors and no freedom of movement,” Glueckert said. In response, Glueckert said, Scuderi-Hunter said she was sending another caseworker, Keith Weaver, to the Probation Department on behalf of the
child and asked Glueckert to make a recommendation to the judge that the child be placed in respite or foster care, rather than detention. Glueckert testified that Judge Richard Northrup Jr. placed the child in detention for 72 hours and then released the child to foster care. At the time of the May 13 incident, Glueckert testified, the child was not in foster care. “DSS had no involvement,” he said. At the time of the child’s release to foster care from detention, Glueckert said that ScuderiHunter was called as a witness by the child’s attorney and when asked her recommendation for the child’s placement, she suggested the child be placed in foster care on electronic monitoring - with an ankle bracelet; a program administered by the Probation Department.
September 25, 2019 Glueckert said Scuderi-Hunter had no right to suggest the child be placed on a program administered by his department without consulting with him first. He does not recommend using electronic monitoring on children, Glueckert said, because literature has shown that between 60 and 70 percent of children outfitted with ankle bracelets cut them off. Glueckert said he previously presented written materials to Delaware County Family Court Judge Gary Rosa, outside of a courtroom setting, in support of his decision not to offer electronic monitoring for children. Glueckert also criticized Scuderi-Hunter for having a conversation with the child’s attorney before entering the courtroom, a distance away from Glueckert, which he did not hear. “She shouldn’t have been talking to the defense attorney,” Glueckert said. “She should have been talking to me. I don’t know why you would presume to use another department’s resources without talking to them.” Glueckert then testified that he believed the reason Scuderi-Hunter resisted a detention placement for the child was because DSS is tasked with paying the approximate $1,000 per day cost of child detention out of the DSS budget. Approximately half of that amount is reimbursed by New York state. Glueckert testified that Scuderi-Hunter told him that it was fiscally irresponsible for her to allow the child to be placed in detention. “So this is what it’s all about?” Glueckert said he asked ScuderiHunter. “You don’t want to pay
9
The Reporter the bill?” Scuderi-Hunter told Glueckert that the cost was not the reason she objected to detention, he testified. Instead, he said, she expressed concerns about the child being placed in a facility with murderers and rapists. He told her, he said, that many of the incarcerated children were there because of property damage charges. She reiterated, he said, that detention was not a safe place for the child. Glueckert said he disagreed with her opinion. “I thought it was the best place for the child to be and for the community he continued to victimize.” County Attorney Amy Merklen was frustrated, Glueckert testified, because she was representing two different interests. His position, he said, was that it was the Probation Department’s proceeding and Merklen and Scuderi-Hunter both should have been doing what he wanted. Working with the child’s attorney for a recommendation other than his own, Glueckert said, “really undermined my authority” although he clarified that the ultimate decision about placement is not his. Rather, he said, the family court judge makes the ultimate decision. Judge Rosa, Glueckert testified, ultimately decided to place the child in foster care with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet. The child cut the ankle bracelet off within 48 hours, sustaining third-degree burns on his leg and incurring medical costs between $3,000 - $5,000 for skin graft surgery paid for by Delaware County, Glueckert said. The Probation
Department was also deprived of the electronic monitoring unit worth $315 and neither the child or DSS has reimbursed his department for the cost. Against his better judgment, Glueckert testified, he agreed to have the child placed in foster care following his release from the hospital because he didn’t feel the county attorney should be placed in a conflicted position. Glueckert also testified that he had heard rumors from his staff that DSS caseworkers had been given a directive, presumably by Scuderi-Hunter, not to talk to probation officers about any case. His proof, he said, was when he asked DSS Caseworker Johanna Bagoni if she was allowed to talk to him. “She laughed, got up and walked away,” Glueckert said. The child, Glueckert said, committed additional crimes after being continued in foster care and was eventually sentenced to a detention facility, where the child remains today. Following the case, Glueckert sent an email to Scuderi-Hunter telling her that she undermined his authority and that working with a defense attorney is not appropriate. “She put more faith in a recidivist juvenile delinquent than in a working relationship with me,” Glueckert testified. The fact that the costs for detention are paid by DSS is irrelevant to probation’s recommendation for detention, he said in the email. The costs being paid by the county for the child now are more than what they would have
been in the short term if ScuderiHunter would have conceded to his initial recommendation for incarceration, he said. She does not respect boundaries, Glueckert testified. “I cannot recall a time that I felt more disrespected,” he said. He then testified, “She would say she respected me, but I believe they were all hollow statements.”He cannot work with someone who he feels is going to undermine his authority, Glueckert said. “I won’t do it,” he said. Under cross examination by Dunn, Glueckert testified that his staff reported to him that they had a bad relationship with Scuderi-Hunter because DSS no longer offered respite care. He was often the “go-between” for other departments with Scuderi-Hunter, he said, because he was able to talk to her. Until the incident with the child, Glueckert further testified, there hadn’t been a child placed in detention since 2003. Detention of a child, Glueckert agreed, should be a last resort. Delaware County also called Cayuga County Chief Assistant County Attorney Richard Graham as an expert witness to testify as to how juvenile delinquent petitions are prosecuted and what the duties of a county attorney are in various counties. The county attorney’s first duty, Graham said, is to the board of supervisors. In the event of a conflict of interest with the county attorney’s office, DSS is required to hire its own attorney, he said. An appearance of impropriety alone
is not enough to demonstrate a conflict of interest, Graham said. Commissioners of Social Services, he further testified, tend to dislike detention for juveniles because it affects their budget. The financial cost to the county is not relevant in child detention cases, Graham opined. It’s absurd, he said, for there to be a financial interest in a juvenile delinquent proceeding. Likewise, Graham testified, a commissioner does not have a stake in a juvenile delinquent proceeding even if the commissioner is the custodian of a child. “In that case,” Graham said, “The commissioner has the same rights as a parent. The parent has no legal standing.” Graham also testified that despite the fact that the job description for the commissioner of social services states that the commissioner has complete control over personnel subject to financial limitations, it would be reckless to make any kind of personnel decision without consulting the county attorney and the personnel office. Graham concluded his testimony by stating that a commissioner of social services is not qualified to have an opinion as to what is in the best interests of a child. The commissioner is not an expert, he said, she is expressing a personal opinion with personal bias. Their training, he said, does not qualify commissioners to determine what is safe for the community.
Feelings, Thoughts, Perceptions And Assumptions Comprise Day 3 Testimony Hearing Closed To Public For ‘Sensitive’ Testimony by Caseworker
Four additional witnesses - two department heads and two caseworkers - testified as witnesses for Delaware County on day three of the disciplinary hearing, held on Monday, Sept. 23. Public Health Director Amanda Walsh began her testimony citing a dispute between her and Scuderi-Hunter over a 2017 incident in which Walsh said Scuderi-Hunter wanted to utilize unoccupied office space in the public health building for the creation of a child advocacy center. The testimony was given despite an objection from Dunn, who, for the third day, continued to object to testimony regarding incidents that were said to have occurred outside the 18-month time frame which governs the statute of limitations for charges. Miller argued that the 2017 dispute between Walsh and Scuderi-Hunter was the genesis of the difficulties between social services and public health, has been ongoing and negatively affected county operations. Delaware County, Dunn continued, was eliciting testimony that is completely barred by statute and prejudicial in an attempt to prove misconduct by ScuderiHunter. Riccio continued to allow testimony outside the time frame statue saying that he would only consider allegations that occurred within the 18-month period immediately preceding the filing of charges against ScuderiHunter, but that he wanted to hear “background.” The 2017 dispute arose, Walsh testified, because Scuderi-Hunter did not consult her ahead of time about her desire to utilize unoccupied space in the public health building. She also stated that the relationship between the two departments was strained because Scuderi-Hunter did not attend meetings - such as Medicaid Redesign Committee meetings that Walsh invited her to. Scuderi-Hunter also failed to attend meetings of the county’s substance abuse task force, a health services advisory board meeting and a focus group meeting that other community-facing departments and agencies were invited to, Walsh testified. The absence of participation by DSS in those meetings, Walsh said, impacts the effectiveness of programs because DSS has “a tremendous amount of resources and assets and sees things on a regular basis that would be helpful” for Walsh’s department to know about.
Though DSS participation in meetings has not changed, Walsh testified, there was a positive change in the public health department in 2018. On cross examination by Dunn, Walsh testified that the invitation she extended to Scuderi-Hunter came via a group email announcing upcoming meeting dates and that she could not remember a telephone conversation between her and Scuderi-Hunter where Walsh told Scuderi-Hunter that it was not important for her to personally attend all of the meetings. Walsh further testified that she did not recall then-Deputy Commissioner of Social Services Rebecca Hoyt attending the meetings on behalf of Scuderi-Hunter and DSS. Next to testify was Community Services and Mental Health Director Cynthia Heaney who said that Scuderi-Hunter embarked upon a 2016 harassment campaign of Friends of Recovery of Delaware and Otsego Counties (FOR-DO), a not-for-profit agency, to remove them from county owned space at 167 Main Street in Delhi where they ran a part time recovery support program, so Scuderi-Hunter could utilize the space for a child advocacy center or a homeless shelter. The harassment, Heaney testified, consisted of Scuderi-Hunter directing DSS staff to interrupt recovery sessions by randomly running the water in sinks, flushing toilets and sounding the smoke detectors. Though she never personally observed those things taking place, she had received an emailed complaint from an unnamed person about the incidents, Heaney said on cross examination. As a further example of harassment, Heaney said, she heard that Scuderi-Hunter showed up at 167 Main Street to take measurements of the space. “She didn’t tell them she was coming,” Heaney said she had heard. Heaney agreed that the Board of Supervisors has the ultimate
authority over how to utilize space in its buildings. However, she said, she felt it was “rude and disruptive to walk in on people in confidential spaces without them being notified,” again stating that she never observed any of the behaviors complained of. Heaney went on to testify on cross examination by Dunn that she had no knowledge of a New York State Office of Temporary Disability report which recommended that a family homeless shelter be located at 167 Main Street in addition to the women’s homeless shelter that was located on the second floor of the building. However, she testified, “Dana said that.” Despite the state office recommendation, which Heaney agreed would be a legitimate reason for relocating FOR-DO out of 167 Main Street, she resisted the relocation of the agency. If a New York State Comptroller report existed making the same recommendation, Heaney further testified, Scuderi-Hunter should have shared the report with Heaney. There were so many things wrong with Scuderi-Hunter allegedly “just showing up with a tape measure,” Heaney stated. “It’s an abuse of power to go into a place where people are being seen for recovery. It’s disruptive.” Delaware County’s next witness, Caseworker Stacey Green, contradicted Heaney’s testimony saying that she was personally tasked, at the direction of Scuderi-Hunter, with making certain that smoke detectors were operating, water faucets worked properly and that toilets flushed at 167 Main Street, as part of her assigned duties assigned in the county’s Adult Protective program in the women’s homeless shelter. “I would try to go around their meeting times to not disturb them. I don’t believe that I ever disturbed them,” Green testified. She was making sure that space at 167 Main Street was

She was never instructed to harass FOR-DO employees, volunteers or clients in their program, Green said. Miller then elicited testimony from Green regarding a Feb. 27, 2018 event in which a woman in the homeless shelter at 167 Main Street suffering from mental health issues, cut herself, splattering blood throughout the homeless shelter, which she said Scuderi-Hunter asked her to help clean up. Green stated that she told Scuderi-Hunter that she was not comfortable cleaning the blood and Scuderi-Hunter, after telling Green that she would not ask her to do something that she didn’t feel comfortable doing, proceeded to don gloves, and with bleach and antibacterial wipes and a mop, Scuderi-Hunter cleaned the blood from the homeless shelter. She was “kind of shocked” at Scuderi-Hunter’s request, Green testified, because she had never been asked to clean up blood before. Green testified that in annual blood-spill trainings, staff are taught not to touch spilled blood. Staff are not trained in the proper clean-up of blood spills, Green said, and she is not aware whether there is a county policy on blood spills. She disagreed, Green said, with mental health credentialed

personnel recommendations that the woman who cut herself be housed at the homeless shelter following her release from a psychiatric program in Binghamton. Green testified that she collaborates in the decision making for individuals that she is supervising, but that she does not have sole authority to make decisions. She attempted, she said, to convince the decision making team to place the woman in a different setting as part of her discharge plan from the medical facility. “I felt disregarded,” Green testified. However, she stated, she was listened to though her recommendation for the woman’s care was not followed. Green further testified that she had an amicable relationship with Scuderi-Hunter who was supportive of Green and encouraged her to apply for promotional positions. “Aside from this case, I have never had an issue with the Commissioner. She has been very supportive,” Green testified. Riccio then closed the hearing to the public citing anticipated “sensitive” testimony from a Delaware County witness. Longtime DSS Caseworker Tina Presley then entered the hearing room, and left nearly two hours later. During the closed testimony, County Attorney Amy Merklen remained on standby outside the hearing room, with attorney Joe Cahill. Day four of the hearing on Sept. 24 featured testimony from County Attorney Amy Merklen who was called to testify against Scuderi-Hunter. The Reporter will have day four proceedings in the online version of The Reporter at the-reporter.net on Wednesday, Sept. 25 and in print on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

By Rosie Cunningham ARKVILLE - The 16th annual Cauliflower Festival, sponsored by the Central Catskills Chamber of Commerce, was held Saturday, Sept. 21 in Margaretville’s Village Park featured 65 vendors. “I never can figure out how to count attendance since we do not charge, nor check people into the festival,” said Director of the Central Catskills Chamber of Commerce Carol O’Beirne, who spearhead the effort. “It was very busy, vendors did make good sales and new vendors seemed pleased. The Woodstock Kettle Corn and Lemonade vendor who has been coming for years, sold out of lemonade in the afternoon and they said they had never used all of their supply of lemons before.” A tractor parade kicked off at 11:30 a.m., and those in attendance visited a tent full of farmers and local producers, enjoyed a petting zoo, pony rides, kids’ activities and history exhibits, as well as music played all afternoon by John Holt and Jon Light. According to Middletown Historian Diane Galusha, cauliflower has been a major aspect of Margaretville’s agriculture for from the turn of the century to about 1950. After that, through the 1970s, 80s and 90s, cauliflower continued to be grown on a smaller scale. Brussels sprout crops were a close second to cauliflower. There was once an auction block in Margaretville where farmers brought truckloads of the vegetable, which was bid on by commissioned New York City

The cauliflower auction block was destroyed in the flood of 1950, a large factor in the demise in the popularity of growing the vegetable. Galusha said she believes the festival had a great turnout and said there was a lot of interest in the rich history of agriculture. “Farming is so important in the region,” she said in a past interview. “Historically, it has been the backbone of the local economy. I am heartened to see young people get into farming. It’s a healthy, honorable profession when the right niche is found. Dairying is a much harder enterprise because you are dealing with a manipulative field.” O’Beirne said there were several highlights and new inclusions this year. “Another new attraction was the Persheron horses owned by Nate and Joy Curto of Dunraven. Nate also restores antique carriages and had those on display
as well,” she said and added that the day overall, was a success. “The Pure Catskills tent was filled with customers, and the new Bloom Quilting Tent with sewing demos was very busy talking to visitors. People were engaged, they enjoyed the food and bought the cauliflower , which was beautiful - we sold 300 heads. The cauliflower was procured for us by Adams Fairacre Farms in Kingston for the second year. They buy it from Amish Farmers in the north eastern part of Pennsylvania.” Agricultural and community history exhibits in the History Tent featured a display about the Grange and its impacts on farms, families and national agricultural policies. The Historical Society of the Town of Middletown also shared photos and artifacts from the cauliflower industry which flourished in the Catskills from the 1890s through the 1950s.

Farms across the Delaware County that are in the New York City watershed will participate in the soil conservation practice of aerial cover crops. A helicopter will drop winter rye grass seed into standing corn fields to establish a cover crop that will protect the soil after the main crop is harvested. This controlled seed application uses a
Global Positioning System (GPS) to precisely map where seed is distributed. Weather and other variables will determine the exact flight schedule. Farms are participating voluntarily and receive financial and technical assistance for this conservation practice from the Watershed Agricultural Council.

Fall By Father William Wright Fall begins this week. What a wonderful time of year. Kids are back to school, cool, crisp air, football and soccer games, the leaves are beginning to change. What a wonderful time of the year. Upstate New York is truly a wonder of God with the changing seasons as pretty as they can be. The changing seasons are a natural wonder of this part of the country. God has shown us through the seasons how beautiful his world really is. Our whole world is a testimony the power of creation from our great God. God truly has created such a fabulous world that we live in and we are amazed at his power and love. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. I urge everyone to enjoy our fall season here. Look and see the wonderful colors of this beautiful season. Take a walk and enjoy the world God has made for your use. Enjoy his creation and, while
you are at it, count the many, many blessings he has given to all of us. We as Americans have so many blessings living in this country. They say if you take time to count your blessings that you will be amazed at how our great God has treated you. You will be amazed at how many blessings he has showered you with. God continually blesses us throughout our lives. The Twenty-third Psalm speaks of our blessings so very well: The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me besides quiet waters. He guides me along right paths for his namesake. As you count your blessings, thank God for his creation and all he does for us. In our constant enjoyment of his blessings, we, as a people, we tend to forget the gratitude part of it. We consciously realize our blessings but don’t follow it up with a grateful heart. Many times, we fail to thank him for his many blessings. Psalms 126:3 - The LORD hath
done great things for us; 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In everything give thanks. He is a great God who loves every one of us and wants the best for each of us. Because of his great love he gives us the most precious gift-his son!! He loves us so much as it says in John: For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for all of us because of God’s great love for us and as it says in John 15:3: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. His great gift of love is, all too often passed over by many people. Pause and remember his great sacrifice for you. Talk to him every day about his great love for you. Grow closer to him and develop your own conversation with him. May God Bless us all, Father William Wright, Christ Episcopal Church, Walton

Sidney Alumni, Students Share Savvy During Annual Public Speaking Workshop By Allison Collins Thanks to alumni-student collaboration, nearly 30 Sidney Central School students have something to talk about. The district hosted its second annual public speaking workshop for student council officers in grades seven through 12 on Friday, Sept. 20, featuring Sidney Wall Of Fame inductees and Sidney Central School Alumni Association (SCSAA) members as expert presenters. SCSAA President Doug Sheldon and event organizers said the workshop grew from the association’s Career Day, started in 2016, and the group’s desire to increase alumni involvement in student affairs. “In January 2018, I got the (SCSAA) board to agree to have student fellows on our board,” he said. “They interviewed in April and we got our first two... then (student council adviser and SCSAA board member) Lori DePauw started talking about other ways the alumni could serve the students, so between those student leaders and Lori, we came up with this workshop on public speaking and we had the first one last October. (The students) then came back and said it should be every year.” “This is about creating a connection for kids to engage with the alumni,” DePauw said. “These Sidney graduates who have gone on to do amazing things and now want to give back are passing some of that knowledge on.” Though last year’s workshop focused on public speaking and how to lead successful meetings, DePauw noted, the decision to focus this year’s workshop exclusively on public speaking was student-driven. “Coming out of it last year, kids felt like they would like more of the public speaking,” she said. “They felt that would be the thing to best prepare them for the next stage of life.” Friday’s sessions were led by Sheldon, Robert Daugherty and radio personality and author, “Big Chuck” D’Imperio. Participants worked in groups, drafting and delivering roughly threeminute speeches that were then critiqued and presented on stage later in the day. A follow-up workshop, Sheldon and DePauw said, is be-

DePauw said the student response to the workshops has been “really positive.” “It’s a real-life skill that they recognize is going to help them in the future,” she said. “The kids have reacted to it in an incredibly positive way,” Sheldon said. “With the alumni coming in... you get a totally different impact from this kind of experience. “Take someone like Chuck D who’s written a dozen books and gives something like 40 speeches a year - that’s a different kind of impact and energy,” he continued. “So, we are additive to the expertise of teachers, bringing an adult world and an experiential world to (students) that they oth-
erwise don’t have.” Sarah Bessett, a 16-year-old junior and one of this year’s four student fellows responsible for organizing the workshop, said she and other Sidney students value that shared expertise. “This is so important, because we’re all going into the real world soon,” she said, “and what we learn here from these professionals will be effective when we need it. A lot of us don’t know what we’re going to face in the real world, but it will be awesome when we’re in college and have to do a presentation in front of 200 or 300 people and can think, ‘Wow. I learned this in high school,’ and not everyone has that.” For more information on SCSAA events, visit sidneyalumni. org.

Delhi Resident Struck By Gang
Assailants Have Not Been Apprehended By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - A fight broke out on Sunday evening at approximately 10 p.m. in the village of Delhi. According to Delhi Village Police Chief Michael Mills, officers responded to a disturbance on Bridge Street. “While on patrol in the immediate vicinity, police heard the sounds of a disturbance on Bridge Street,” he said. “Upon pulling onto the street, police saw a group of men fleeing the area and heard a local resident, the complainant, yelling that he had been punched by a group of men. Police stopped someone leaving the general area, but determined that the individual did not match the descriptions given by the complainant.” After further investigation, officers learned that the complainant confronted the group walking in the street in front of his home because they were being too loud. After an exchange of words between the complainant and the group, several of the men began hitting the complainant. The complainant reported that he was uninjured and declined medical treatment. The complainant was unable to provide adequate details about his assailants to investigating officers for them to work up a description
sufficient to make an identification. The Delhi Police Department was assisted at the scene by New York State University Police at SUNY Delhi, the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office and New York State Police. “The police had increased nighttime patrols prior to this incident, in response to a large brawl between party goers being dispersed from a party on Main Street the night before, to address tensions arising from that incident,” said Chief Mills. “We are continuing to field additional patrols while working with University Police and SUNY Delhi officials to identify and hold accountable persons involved in the fighting this past weekend. We have also reached out to the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office and asked if sheriff’s deputies can assist with patrols in the village when they are available.” Mills added that he recommends that community members use good judgment and take reasonable steps to be safe. “We strongly recommend that community members do not confront people or groups of people on the street, but rather call the police if they are witness to criminal activity or conduct that is affecting their quality of life,” he said.

Walton’s Kaylieb Stanton Leads Warriors To Win Over SVEC By Rosie Cunningham WALTON - Walton defeated Spencer-Van Etten/Candor 4422 Saturday. It was a come-from-behind win for the Warriors who trailed, 6-0, after the first quarter. Morgan Condon caught a 32yard touchdown from Dylan Jacob, only to have SVEC tie it again at 14. The Warriors reached
halftime with a lead as Stanton got in from two yards, making it 22-14. “In the beginning of the second quarter we started to execute better on both sides of the ball,” said Walton Coach Adam Hoover. “Right before the half Cody Ray caught a 50 yard pass from Dylan that set us up to score and take the lead just before halftime. That was key going into the half to put us ahead 22-14.”
Benjamin Patton/The Reporter
Walton’s Alex Brooker carries the ball during his team’s 44-22 win over Spencer-Van Etten/Candor on Saturday.
Our offensive line played well for much of the game. Kaylieb Stanton had a good day running the ball for us. Morgan Condon and Dylan Jacob have scored touchdowns in all three games.” Warrior Kyle Wright had a 20yard interception for a touchdown and a one-yard run from Stanton in the fourth quarter which concluded the game. According to the statistics, Stanton tallied 13 carries for 56 yards and scored three times. Teammate Skylar Pesout rushed 10 times and Nick Lamoreaux went for 43 yards. Jacob covered 35 yards on five carries, had 82 yards and a touchdown via pass. Cody Ray caught one pass for 50 yards. “Defensively, Nick Lamoreaux played well at linebacker,” said Hoover. “Alex Brooker made a great play intercepting the ball at the goal line to keep them from scoring. In the third quarter, Kyle Wright made a nice read on a passing play and returned an interception for a touchdown. Our kids are consistently playing hard, but we aren’t consistent when it comes to our execution. That is something we need to keep improving upon - eliminating the mental mistakes that can cost us games.”

By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - The Bulldogs notched a win Saturday on their home field, dropping Moravia 69-7. DA took advantage of Moravia turnovers and after the first quarter, the Bulldogs secured a commanding 34-0 lead going into the second quarter. “Once again, the turnover battle was huge for us,” said DA Assistant Coach Shawn Neumann. “We had two interceptions, and we recovered three fumbles.

Their quarterback is a very good athlete, and we have to try to limit their big plays.” The Bulldogs (3-0) host rival Walton at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28.

Rosie’s Rounds By Rosie Cunningham
It’s been a good week to be a Walton and Delaware Academy football player and coach. Both squads picked up nice wins last Saturday and I am looking forward to the Warriors and the Bulldogs squaring off this Saturday, Sept. 28 at DA with a 1:30 p.m. start time. There have been multiple standouts on the football field from DA’s Luke Branigan, Alex Haight, Brody Silcox, Jake Pitcher, Bryce Bracchy and Logan Bruce, to Walton’s Alex Brooker, Morgan Condon, Cody Ray, Dylan Jacob, Nick Lamoreaux and Kaylieb Stanton. On the soccer side of things, Kayla Campbell had a pair of goals and an assist in a vic-
tory against Worcester in the Tri-Valley League, South Kortright’s Stanley Andersen has been outstanding on the offensive end of things and although Walton boys soccer fell to Greene, Warrior goalkeeper Kaiden Vernold stopped 22 shots in the game and had an outstanding performance. Hunting season is just around the corner and I encourage individuals to send me their harvest via e-mail or text. I will be off next week, but continue to send information per usual as someone else in the office will be handling the Sport’s Reporter.

Athlete of the Week
On Saturday, the Bulldogs dropped Moravia 69-7. Senior Warren Pardee finished with 87 yards on four carries, three of them resulting in touchdowns. This has been a theme this season for Pardee, who according to Delaware Academy Head Coach Phil Neumann, has had a great year as both a linebacker and running tailback. “He’s played great on both the offensive and defensive end,” he said. Neumann said the 17-yearold is an “extremely hard worker” who loves football. Neumann has coached Pardee for five or six years - on modified prior to varsity, and
Warren Pardee he said over the years, he has gotten both stronger and faster. Pardee also plays basketball and runs track for Delaware Academy. “He’s a nice kid and a great teammate,” added Neumann.
Vicker’s PK Results In A Tie Against S.S Seward By Rosie Cunningham Delaware Academy’s Paul Vickers tied the game 1-1 Friday for the Bulldogs in the final minute of regulation to lead the squad to a tie against S.S. Seward in non league boys soccer action. The Spartans opened scoring with just over seven minutes left in regulation. DA’s Dan Rolfe booted a free kick quickly, finding Christian Imperi and off of Imperi’s pass, Vickers, who drew a penalty kick with 20 seconds remaining. Vickers found the back of the net off of the penalty kick to tie the score. “It was a fantastic game with
several near misses on both sides,” said DA Coach Eddie Kingston. “We’ve had a few kids sidelined due to injuries for the first four games of the season and we finally got them back, so we tweaked our formation to a style we are more comfortable with. “On offense, Vickers and Zach Finch were outstanding. Defensively, everyone played their part but I have to recognize our captain Danny Rolf and the two others defenders, Andrew Hilton and Alex Imperi. There were several momentum swings, but the last 10 minutes were riveting.” Ben Blocker made six stops for DA. DA (4-1-1) will travel to Sidney at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26.
DA Girls Defeat Greene In MAC Tie S.S. Seward
By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - Delaware Academy girls soccer picked up a 4-0 victory last week against Greene in the Midstate Athletic Conference and tied against S.S. Seward on Friday. Bulldog Abby Leahy had a pair of goals in the win as well as an assist. Teammates Amanda Nealis and Lauren Packard each had a goal and Kate Dean tallied an assist - DA outshot Greene 26-3. “Overall it was a good game for us,” said DA Coach Matt Albright. “I was pleased with the total team effort, and I believe it put us in the right mindset to play undefeated SS Seward the following day.” “We played aggressive and kept control of the game for the
entire game,” said sophomore goalkeeper and captain Sylvia Liddle. “We didn’t let up after we scored and we kept pressuring their defense.” “And I think we also played very well as a team. We had nice control and some good passing to feet,” added senior midfielder Emilia O’Neill “I agree with Sylvia, we didn’t give up the entire game, we kept playing like it was 0-0 even after being up 4-0,” echoed junior midfielder Jody Bray. “I also agree with meal [Emilia], our passing improved that game (and Friday) we kept possession more then we usually do and that helped us with our attack.” The Friday game which Bray is referring to is a 0-0 tie against S.S. Seward. Liddle had a busy night with 13 saves between the posts.
B-G Volleyball Remains Perfect, Drops Sidney By Rosie Cunningham Bainbridge-Guilford volleyball defeated Sidney last week on the court 3-0. It was tough for the Warriors to gain momentum as the Bobcats controlled the entirety of the match.

ery opportunity, something we have definitely been working on,” said Selfridge. “Sidney impressed me by continuing to work to get something going throughout the entire match.” For B-G, Sasha Lamoree had four aces and 12 assists, Makenna Clark had two aces and six kills, Taylor Parsons had two aces and four kills, Samantha Ceresna tallied one ace and four kills and Abbey Delello recorded three aces, two kills and had two blocks in the victory.

Cooperstown Edges By Charlotte Valley By Rosie Cunningham
DAVENPORT - South Kortright cruised to a 12-0 victory over Worcester to kick off the Chic Walshe Soccer Tournament in Davenport Saturday. Ram Stanley Andersen and Quinlan Davis each had a pair of goals in the contest and the squad scored eight goals going into the break. Eight different offenders scored in the victory. “The kids moved the ball well throughout game,” said SK Coach Bob VanValkenburgh. Cooperstown 5, C-V 4 Cooperstown narrowly clipped Charlotte Valley 5-4 with less than two minutes left to advance to the Chic Walshe finals. Hawkeye eighth grader Aidan Spencer scored with 1:48 left in the game. Cooperstown owned the lead at the break with a score of 3-2. Wildcat Dylan Waid tied it at 3-3 finishing the back of the net for his second goal of the game. Cooperstown’s Jason Furnari tallied a goal to pull ahead 4-3, but Dylan Hendrickson tied it again before Spencer’s winning shot. “My guys didn’t have a great game due to many not feel-
ing well and some injuries that were bothering others,” said C-V coach Deb Moorby. “For parts of the game, we played together as a solid unit and passed the ball well.” There were no stand outs offensively, but defensively Warren Quigley had a great game. He marked his man well and hustled the entire game. He has speed and beat his player to most balls. Warren leads our defense and often saves balls from going in the goal that our goalie misses.” According to Moorby, Chic Walshe was a physical education teacher and coach at Charlotte Valley Central School for many years. The tournament came about to honor Walshe for his dedication to Charlotte Valley and the soccer program that he helped to build here. “He was a gentle soul and always wanted the best for his students,” she said. “I feel lucky to have been one of his students. He was truly a one of a kind teacher, coach, and mentor.” CV will play Worcester in the Chic Walshe consolation game Saturday, Sept. 28 and SK will face Cooperstown in the championship game.

Greene had the 25-1 advantage in shots and Warrior goalkeeper Kaiden Vernold stopped 22 shots in the game. However, with less than 90 minutes in the clock, Greene’s Nolan Butler found the back of the net for the 1-0 win. “I thought our defensive effort was great against Greene,” said Walton head coach Justin Preston. “To hold a team with that much offensive firepower scoreless for 80 minutes in regulation
was a great feat for our kids. We played a different formation in the back than usual to protect against their speed. Kaiden Vernold made some incredible saves in goal to keep us in the game and fortunately they missed some opportunities on the back post in the second half. Our goal from the beginning was to defend first and try to get a few counter attacks in transition. Jacob Pomeroy and Josh Carr did a great job reading plays as they developed in the back line of our defense. You never are happy after a loss, but I wasn’t discouraged either. We leave that game with a little more confidence in ourselves and what we are capable of.”

SK Girls, Milford Advance To Championship Round of Walshe Soccer Tourney By Rosie Cunningham South Kortright shutout Worcester 1-0 in the opening round of the Chic Walshe Tournament hosted in Davenport. Emily Andersen found the back of the net minutes into the match and the Ram defense held off the Wolverines for the remainder of the game. “It was a solid strike from about 25 yards out and she found the upper corner,” said SK Coach Josh Burroughs. “She continues to improve each time she steps on the field. She does a lot for us in the midfield on both sides of the ball. Her marking has been
stellar and her touches on the ball have led to good shots for her or teammates.” The Rams outshot Worcester 10-4. “It was a competitive game from start to finish,” he said. “We were able to control the midfield for a majority of the match which kept us in the attacking third. We had some decent chances after our first goal, but their keeper made a few quality saves. Madison Coberly continues to play hard and do everything she can to make plays in the mid field. She has amazing speed and isn’t afraid to go after a ball. As a freshman, we are pleased with
her effort. She continues to learn and grow each time she is out there. Mya Stelmashuck has been a force in the back for us all season. Saturday she kept that level of play in the back for us. She does a great job reading the play and cleaning anything up that gets past the fullbacks.” Chloe Davis earned her second complete shut out (three stops) as she takes over the net as a sophomore. The Milford girls defeated Charlotte Valley 3-0 to move on in the Chic Walshe Tournament and Milford will face SK (5-3) in the finals on Saturday.
Franklin Girls Soccer Posts Win Over Worcester In Tri-Valley By Rosie Cunningham FRANKLIN - The Purple Devils downed Worcester 3-0 on Friday in Tri-Valley League girls soccer. Kayla Campbell had a pair of goals and an assist in the victory. The sophomore scored both of her goals in the first half and Zoe Warren earned the third goal in the second frame. “Zoe Warren was dangerous in the attacking half,” said Franklin Coach Gerald Laing. “Kayla’s second goal was the play that opened up the game. Once that

happened, it forced Worcester to come out to play.” Franklin outshot Worcester 12-6 during the contest. “Franklin controlled the game from the beginning,” said Laing. “Worcester was not able to muster up anything more than a few attacks into Franklin’s defending third.” Marissa Campbell, Leah Hyzer and Alyssa Nowhitney did an outstanding job at the defensive end. Goalie Molly McLaughlin earned the shutout in net with six saves.

It was really more of an offensive game for us, with not much action on defense.”

The Practice Of Forestry Requires No Expert By Ryan Trapani
Initial concepts - artists’ renditions.
State To Consider Barn Salvage, Reuse At Riddell State Park The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation will seek public input on plans to give portions of a 19th century barn a new life as an interpretive or community gathering space at the 2,163-acre Robert V. Riddell State Park in Otsego County and in Davenport, Delaware County. Conceptual plans under consideration include an enclosed space of between 1,000 to 1,100 square feet, with an estimated cost between $350,000 to $450,000, which includes the cost of salvaging portions of the barn for use in subsequent con-
struction and site work. The interpretive building and picnic shelter could be located near the Schenevus Creek, a Class A trout stream and tributary of the Susquehanna River. Badly deteriorated, structurally unsafe and at risk of collapse, the barn has been disassembled. State Parks will schedule public outreach sessions this fall to discuss the alternatives prior to a final decision. Divided into two sections by Interstate 88, the park includes a 12-mile trail network through fields and forests. Additional activities include birdwatching,
snowshoeing and fishing. State Parks has more than doubled the size of the park to 2,300 acres since acquiring the original 1,000 acres from the Riddell family in 2004. Subsequent improvements have included $75,000 for restrooms, trails and signage. State Parks also has a collaborative agreement with nearby Hartwick College in Oneonta, which sold 800 acres to the state for inclusion in the park, for use of the park in outdoor education.

Reservoir Cleanup Volunteers Remove 2 Tons Of Trash From Shorelines 25 miles of shoreline cleaned by 350 volunteers The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced that hundreds of volunteers from across the Catskill and Hudson valleys collected an estimated 4,675 pounds of trash and recyclables during Reservoir Cleanup Day, Sept. 15, making it the largest haul since the event began six years ago. A total of 350 volunteers participated in this year’s cleanup. The effort to re-
move debris, litter and recyclables from watershed shorelines was led by school groups, environmental advocates, business leaders, local nonprofits and watershed citizens. Debris collected during the cleanup included 2,968 glass, plastic or metal beverage containers, 1,026 food wrappers, 2,941 small pieces of foam, glass or plastic, 1,253 cigarette butts, 134 yards of fishing line, 930 plastic and pa-
per bags, 738 disposable cups and plates, 873 bottle caps, 424 take-out food containers, and 38 tires. Earlier this year, DEP updated its watershed recreation rules to ban the use of cigarettes on City-owned lands and waters. This change was informed by previous cleanup events at which DEP employees and volunteers collected nearly 10,000 cigarette butts on lands around the reservoirs.
Franklin Mtn. Hawkwatch Open House Oct. 5
The Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society (DOAS) will host an open house at the DOAS Sanctuary and Hawkwatch on Grange Hall Spur Road, Oneonta, on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available throughout the day. Thousands of raptors of 15 species are counted each fall as they concentrate along the ridges overlooking Oneonta during their migration south for the winter months. The DOAS has operated the Franklin Mountain Hawkwatch to survey hawks and eagles migrating past their wildlife sanctuary in the town of Davenport for over 25 years. Volunteers count hawks, eagles and vultures passing the site on most days from late August through December. The site is noted for its flights of Golden Eagles and Red-tailed Hawks. In some years, over 200 Golden Eagles and more than 2000 Red-tailed Hawks have been recorded passing the site
on their way south. The best flights generally occur on days with north or northwest winds, usually following cold fronts. Schedule At 10 a.m., one of the Franklin Mountain hawk counters will conduct a workshop on how to identify flying hawks followed at 11 a.m. with a trail walk through the sanctuary which will end at the Hawkwatch. From 11 to 12:30 p.m., visitors (ages four and up) can participate in a bird mask-making workshop with artist, Caroline Fay. At 12:30, Wildlife Rehabilitator Missy Runyan from the Friends of the Feathered and Furry Wildlife Center, will feature live raptors.
Attendees are encouraged to learn about the programs and opportunities offered throughout the year by Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society.
I remember when I first returned home from a semester of dendrology (identification of trees) and I really thought I knew something. I pointed to each tree and whispered its common name, “yellow poplar.” And then its Latin name Magnoliaceae Liriodendron tulipifera. And eastern hemlock (Pinaceae Tsuga canadensis) or red oak (Fagaceae Quercus rubra) or sugar maple (Aceraceae Acer saccharum). Hey, who knew I could speak Latin? But, the more I delved into trees, the more I uncovered how much I needed to learn. When I tapped a maple tree for the first time, its running clear sap also poured out so many mysteries about its sweetness, quantity and the taste behind it all. Why were some trees sweeter than others? What made some runs more than others? When one season I decided to give bark tanning a shot and stripped a hemlock for making leather with, that too begged many questions. How strong are the tannins in hemlock bark? How did people figure out that bark tannins – when made into a tea – will create leather from an animal hide? When I first learned how to cut a tree and it fell to the ground, I knew too that I had a lot to learn about firewood. Which trees should be cut in the first place? Which species are best for burning? How long does each need to be stored? When I first felled my first deer, that too revealed an entirely new world. The inner biology and workings of a deer are a world unto itself and from there I began to wonder how that deer made its way through the forest and how one could improve its habitat and so forth. Mushrooms? People who study mushrooms are most eccentric, probably because they are reflecting such an eccentric organism, fungi, which grows mysteriously through organic matter, soil and trees. I know a few, but so many are just LBMs or
Little Brown Mushrooms. When I first got into brook trout, I knew right there I would never see the stream in the same way. How much I needed to learn in order to catch these aquatic mountaindwellers. Learning to prune apple trees – or any tree – is never complete. Each tree is somewhat different and its intricacies must be learned and adapted to. Albert Einstein’s quote – “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know” seems so true to me in forestry or arboriculture. Each canopy stratum of the forest reveals another world or dimension to learn about. Each layer of an individual tree would take years or a lifetime to know so well, forget about its mysterious roots. The point here is to underline that I’m no expert. An expert – to me – implies the mastering of something or being complete in knowledge. I Need to Practice Instead, I wish to respectively suggest a replacement for “expert” – as doctors and lawyers have – with practice. To “practice” is “to perform an activity or exercise (a skill) repeatedly or regularly in order to improve or maintain one’s proficiency.” In this end, one is never an expert, but is practicing their craft or field of study. At CFA, we’re here not to merely lecture, but instead to amass a group of members interested in continually learning about and improving their trees and forests via lots of practice. Maybe we don’t always get it perfect, but we learn and hopefully improve. We hope that through our programs & events we can help each other learn through each other’s mistakes and successes how best to improve trees and forests. And as I’ve realized, each town, county, valley, hollow or mountainside’s forest can vary so much as one travels throughout these mountains; We have so much to learn.

New York State Free Fishing Day Is Sept. 28 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that New York residents can fish for free without a license in any of the 7,500 lakes and ponds or 70,000 miles of rivers and streams across the state on Saturday, Sept. 28. National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated on the fourth Saturday of September each year to promote outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, and target shooting. Hunting and fishing build a sense of stewardship of fish and wildlife resources and habitats, provide an opportunity for experienced hunters and anglers to share their knowledge with others, and promote participation in
hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting through the mentoring of young hunters and anglers. New York’s hunters and anglers contribute an estimated $4.9 billion to the economy in spending, which supports more than 56,000 jobs and $623 million in state and local taxes. Through the purchase of New York sporting licenses, hunters and anglers also help generate an estimated $75 million to help conserve fish and wildlife, enhance habitat, and protect natural resources. There are ample fishing opportunities this fall: Waters are cooling and trout are becoming more active in ponds and streams. Fast fishing can also be found in streams and rivers. Trout season closes on many waters Oct. 15; and Look for New York’s most widely distributed sportfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, which can be found throughout the state from Montauk to Buffalo.

THE WEEK IN WALTON What We Are Talking About at the County Hub
OCTOBER MILK PRICE, $3.13 Business Concerns are Building—Operation for Appendicitis—Eastern Star Comedy. The winter schedule of drills for Company I, 10th Infantry, will begin the first Monday in October, the 6th. Julius Rose of Beerston slipped and fell one day this week, striking his head against a wagon wheel and cracking one rib. Dr. Smith attends him. Drop letters in the Walton post office require two cents postage. Letters are held daily for postage due owing to the fact that one cent postage was used. R. E. Lockwood has bought the Timothy Sanderson property adjoining his own residence on Townsend street. Another recent sale of real estate in the village was that of the Frank Welton house, East Brook road, to Robert A. Tweedie. “The College Boy,” a comedy in three acts, will be presented by Willowemoc Chapter, O.E.S., on Friday and Saturday evenings, October 31 and November 1, under the direction of William Bingham, formerly with the Clifton Mallory company. Hugh Jones of Dunkirk, foreman of the needle department in the Kayser mill, has purchased the E. T. Shaw house, Griswold street. Isaac DeMott has bought the Henry Haynes house, West street, and John N. Kimball of the Nestle force has bought Mrs. Ruth Stern’s house, High street. All three sales were made through the agency of H. M. Robinson. Worthy Bingen, the valuable stallion owned by J. S. Murray of Goshen, which broke its leg during the races at the Walton fair, was killed this week by Dr. H. J. Metzger, the veterinarian. A post mortem examination showed that the bone was broken in five places, and it would have been impossible to save the animal. Mr. Murray had been offered $2,500 for the horse.
The price of milk for the month of October has been fixed by the dairymen’s league at $3.11 per 100 lbs. for three percent milk at the 200-210 mile freight zone, with the usual differentials for freight and butterfat. Walton is in the 180mile freight zone and the base price here is two cents higher or $3.13. The October price is ten cents per hundred less than that for September. Rev. S. G. Shaw, D. D., who has been pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church at West Hebron, N. Y., for the past ten years, has resigned, and with Mrs. Shaw is stopping with the Misses Shaw on Griswold street. For twelve years, 1884-1896, Dr. Shaw was pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church in Walton. He will occupy the pulpit of the West Kortright United Presbyterian Church for a time, A. M. Kemter of the state comptroller’s office, will be at the office of County Treasurer H. S. Graham in Delhi on Tuesday, September 30, from 10 a. m. until 4 p. m. to receive payments on the tax on investments. The tax is permissive but a person paying at the rate of twenty cents a year on each $100 of the face value of an investment is exempt from all taxation thereon for state and municipal purposes. Further information may be secured from the First National bank. Earl, the eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Depuy, was taken ill with appendicitis Monday morning. Dr. J. A. Holley was called to see the boy at 5 o’clock that afternoon and found that he was in a serious condition. The physician summoned Dr. Manley of Norwich, who came to Walton accompanied by Miss Leary, a trained nurse, and at 11 o’clock that night Dr. Manley operated assisted by Dr. Holley. The appendix was found in a gangrenous condition and had the operation been deferred a few hours, the boy could not have lived. One year ago on the 29th of September the 107th Infantry went over the top in the big drive which smashed the Hindenburg line. In commemoration of the event the 107th Veterans association and various company associations of the regiment are planning reunions in New York city Monday. A number of Walton men who served in Company F, 107th Infantry, expect to attend the reunion and banquet of the “Big Six” at Keene’s chop house,
44th street between Broadway and Sixth avenue. The “Big Six” is named from the fact that Company F is the sixth company in the regiment.

SOLDIERS URGED TO KEEP INSURANCE Policies May Now be Converted Into Standard Forms
REINSTATE LAPSED POLICIES Full Information Should be Given When Information is Asked of War Risk Bureau. The government has inaugurated a campaign to inform, men formerly in the army and naval service of the facts about their government insurance. Unfortunately, many, through misunderstanding, misinformation or other causes are permitting their insurance to lapse. Upon leaving the service a large proportion of men become transient, with the result that the War Risk Insurance Bureau has no way of reaching them by direct mail. Others move and fail to send their forwarding addresses to Washington. Still others fail to furnish enough detailed information to identify, their cases in millions of records where scores and even hundreds have the same name. The term policies issued to service men during the war in amounts not exceeding $10,000 may be converted at any time within five years, if payments are kept up, into any of the following forms of policies; ordinary life, 20-payment life, 30-payment life, 20-year endowment, 30-year endowment, endowment age 62. A comparison of the government rates with those of the life insurance companies is very favorable to the former. At the age of 21 the premium on an ordinary life policy is only $13.82 per $1,000 and $21.14 on a 20-payment life policy. The standard insurance companies are cooperating with the government and have instructed their agents to urge service men to keep their policies. Secretary of the treasury Glass on July 25, signed a decision of great importance to those who have allowed their policies to lapse. In the decision the secretary ruled that discharged soldiers, sailors and marines who have dropped or cancelled their insurance may reinstate it within eighteen months after discharge without paying the back premiums. All they will be asked to pay will be the premium on the amount of insurance to be reinstated for the month of grace in which they were covered and for the current month. Thus, for example, if a man dropped $10,000 of insurance in January, 1919, and applies for reinstatement the 1st of September for $5,000, all he will have to pay will be the premium for January (the month of grace) on $5,000 and the premium for September on $5,000. Or, if he applies for reinstatement of the full $ 10,000, he will pay a total of two months’ premiums on $10,000, one for January and one for September. He will not have to pay premiums in either case for the intervening months. The decision stipulates that the former service man applying for reinstatement be in as good health as at date of discharge. In order that the insurance to be issued after the war may be properly administered, the Bureau has asked authority to invest the premiums and set up reserve funds, investment to be made in interest-bearing obligations of the United States. All converted government insurance will be policy only, and premiums may be considerably reduced by dividends. In connection with this converted insurance the War Risk insurance Bureau asks the right so to frame the policy forms that if the insured desires to have his converted insurance paid in one sum, he may so elect; and if he wishes his beneficiaries to receive the installments within, say, three years rather than over a period of twenty, he may also so elect. It also asks the privilege so to draft the converted polices that a man may designate his beneficiary
September 25, 2019
who will receive all the payments. Thus, if a man wants his wife as a beneficiary and does not want the installment payments after her death to go to a sister or a brother, the policy will provide that installments will be paid to the wife and on her death the remaining installments to her estate. Five points of information that should be sent to Bureau of War Risk Insurance with each inquiry about a specific case involving insurance: (Form providing for additional information should be used if available): 1. Full name (including first, middle, and last name) and complete address. 2. Rank at the time of applying for insurance. 3. Army or Navy organization at time of applying for insurance. 4. Army serial number, if in the Army. 5. The number of insurance certificates, if known. If this is done, the handling of the matter will be greatly expedited.
STRUCK WATER TROUGH Fourth Accident Occurs on Meridale Hill Curve. (From Meridale cor.) The new Dodge car belonging to Frank Wilcox of Johnson City was wrecked on Meridale hill Sunday. Mr. Wilcox, who with his wife was visiting at the home of Tracy Strickland, was on his way to the home of Mrs. Wilcox’s father, Thomas Clark. In the car with him were Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Strickland and her brother, Harold Clark. Mr. Wilcox was attempting to make the hill on high, at a speed somewhere near forty-five miles an hour. Just where a concrete watering trough marks a curve, Mr. Wilcox was obliged to turn out to meet a Ford car driven by Miss Alice Fish. The car crashed into the trough with such violence that it was thrown back across the road. The whole party was badly shaken up. Mr. Wilcox escaped without other injury, but both Mrs. Strickland Mrs. Wilcox and Mr. Clark were considerably bruised. The reach of the car was broken, the fender smashed, one wheel broken and the gasoline tank destroyed. This is the fourth accident to occur on this curve.
CHAUFFEUR PINNED UNDER CAR Cleveland Auto Goes Down Bank Near Parkston. (From Livingston Manor cor.) Mr. Cleveland of DeBruce recently purchased a new car, trading in his Winton Six on the deal. The Newburgh firm who sold Mr. Cleveland the car had no new car ready for delivery but agreed to have one when he was ready to return to the city. On Monday the Newburgh firm sent a driver up with Mr. Cleveland’s old car to take the Cleveland family back to the city. Tuesday afternoon the driver started for the Manor with a Victrola. Near Parkston the car plunged off the road down a steep bank, turning twice over and pinning the chauffeur fast by one hand. The car landed in such a position as to sound the horn and this noise, with the chauffeur’s cries, drew neighboring residents to his assistance within a very few minutes.

The accident occurred above Shavertown. Mr. Widger is survived by his wife and two sons, Clark and Herman, both of Downsville.
WAS ROBBED OF $5,000 Gregory Recovers Money Stolen from Bed “Bank.” Banking their money in a bed came near costing Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gregory of Bloomville the loss of the savings of a lifetime. While they were at the Oneonta fair last Wednesday their home was broken into, entrance being gained through a window. The family banking place in the bed was discovered and about $5,000 stolen. Mr. Gregory is a blacksmith at Bloomville. Later suspicions were aroused against a resident of that village, who for several days had been seen lurking around the blacksmith shop, and on that day was seen near the Gregory residence. With this clue Sheriff W. L. Vandermark of Delhi went to Kingston on Saturday and arrested N. J. Pellington on a charge of grand larceny and brought him to Delhi where he awaits the action of the grand jury. The money was recovered from Pellington, who had it in his suitcase.

She would say “I’m not handicapped, I just can’t walk.” Sandy brightened every single person she came into contact with. She gave herself to others, she sacrificed for others and she always, always thought about others over herself. She was a true example to live by and a precious gift from God. For many years, she was a Sunday School teacher and Superintendent at the Trout Creek Community Church. She loved all the children she came into contact with. Sandy enjoyed planning the Sunday School Christmas Pageant, Vacation Bible School and annual picnic for many years. In her later years, Sandy loved her garden. During early spring, Sandy’s house would be filled with plants getting ready for her garden. Her last garden, this year, Sandy received a tremendous amount of joy watching her vegetables grow with her favorite little farmer, Luke. Even though Sandy never gave birth to any children, she was still a mother to her two boys, Bryan and Ryan Fairchild. She lived with them, her ‘daughter-in-law’ Gina Fairchild, special great-nephew Luke, and special great-niece, Lily.

In general, a wet growing season followed by a dry autumn filled with sunny days and cool, frostless nights produces the most vibrant palette of fall colors. Of course if freezing temperatures and hard frost hits, it can kill the process within the leaf and lead to poor fall color. Also drought conditions during late summer and early fall can trigger an early shutdown of trees as they prepare for winter causing leaves to fall early from trees without reaching their full color potential. With this I think ours should be pretty this year. Grandma’s recipe this week is for Pickled Beets. After cooking

The Reporter the beets and peeling them, cut them up in chunks and put in a quart canning jars. This recipe makes one quart. Put in a saucepan 1 cup sugar, 1 cup vinegar, 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and boil about one minute. Pour hot syrup over the beets in the jars and seal. My thoughts of the week: Shining down on us Friday night was a big, full moon. It was so nice to see. The common September Moon name was the Full Corn Moon because it traditionally corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It was also called the Barley Moon as this is the time to harvest and thresh ripened barley. Also on Friday my friend Don K. from up on Bagley Brook brought me a nice bag of beautiful tomatoes, red onions and garlic. He wanted me to know those on the mountain can grow good veggies as well as the flatlander folks. I made and canned a batch of spaghetti sauce and will enjoy it this winter thanks to Don. Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: Taking walks with her grandfather delighted our daughter when she was about 4. One day, however after they had covered more than a mile, he asked if she was tired. “No Papa,” she assured, “I’m not tired, but my shoes are.” Senior Moments: I went through the self checkout at a grocery store. By the time I was able to figure out how to work it, all my coupons had expired. A cute saying: Do what you do with all your might, things half done are never done right. Helpful Hint: It’s time for cooking those hard-to-cut butternut squash. A microwave method works very well. Score the squash all over, nuke it for 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool, then peel, halve and scrape out the seeds. Bake the squash to soften it completely or pop it back in the microwave. If you’re not in a hurry, a slow cooker will soften squash while you go about your day or while you sleep. After 4 to 5 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low the squash will be creamy and easy to peel. In the oven, this one is super simple. Put the squash on a baking sheet and roast at 400 until a bit tender, about 40 minutes. Once it’s slightly cooled it will peel easily.
