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

DELHI — Updates on the plans for the new mental health facility in Walton were discussed at the board of supervisors meeting on Sept. 25.

Eric Witschi, the managing architect at Syracuse-based engineering consulting firm C&S Companies, discussed the design plans for the structure which will be built at 243 Delaware Street in the village of Walton.

According to Witschi, the building will consolidate three facilities: an adult mental health clinic, family and children’s mental health unit and alcohol and drug abuse services. The facility is projected to cost over $8 million.

The 19,800 square foot building was designed so that it can be expanded. It will sit above the flood plain. There will also be a 720 square feet maintenance garage, and parking spaces for 112 vehicles.

Witscihi provided photos of what the structure will look like. Bids for the project are scheduled to go out this winter; the facility will be completed in 2021 if all goes according to plan.

In other business, Joseph A. Ermeti, the new Delaware County Public Defender, was introduced. Ermeti encouraged the board to approve the request for two new positions for the office. When the office was created in March, four positions were approved. Ermeti said support staff and an additional attorney were See BOS Meeting page 4

County Attorney Is “Above” Other Department Heads, Merklen Testifies

Delaware County DSS Commissioner Disciplinary Hearing, Day 4 DELHI - Delaware County’s Attorney Amy Merklen was the only person to testify during day four of a disciplinary hearing on Sept.

24, against Delaware County Commissioner of Social Services (DSS) Dana Scuderi-Hunter, who was suspended from her position with pay, via a letter signed by Merklen and Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Tina Molé on July 9, and via a non-unanimous vote of the entire board on Aug. 28.

Scuderi-Hunter is facing seven charges, which have yet to be released to the public, alleging 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.

Merklen began her testimony, elicited by Frank Miller, representing Delaware County as outside counsel in the removal of Scuderi-Hunter from her position, by referring to an organizational flow chart of the chain of command for Delaware County departments, approved by the Board of Supervisors, and annexed to board rules.

According to that organizational flow chart (not found on the county website), the county attorney’s office is “separate” from all other department, and

functions as an “offshoot” of the board of supervisors, Merklen said. Other department heads, she testified, are considered to be part of the “oversight committee.”

“The county attorney is a level above the other department heads,” Merklen said. And, Merklen further testified, the DSS commissioner has an obligation to report to the county attorney with respect to all legal matters.

Roles, that of Merklen and others involved in juvenile delinquency proceedings, were the focus of a large part of Merklen’s testimony.

She echoed day two testimony of Delaware County Probation Director Scott Glueckert, given on Sept. 20, that when a juvenile delinquent petition or violation of probation petition is brought against a child, that DSS has no legal role in the subsequent proceedings other than facilitating services for the child. DSS, Merklen continued, is not entitled to legal representation by the county attorney’s office or by outside counsel in those incidences.

Merklen then depicted Scuderi-Hunter as conspiring against the county with an attorney representing a child in a juvenile delinquent proceeding, by having conversations of unknown content with the attorney and testifying in a court proceeding at the request of the child’s attor-

ney without being subpoenaed.

“I took her testimony as an act of disloyalty and an act of insubordination,” Merklen said.

Merklen said she directed Scuderi-Hunter not to have any contact with the attorney for the child, but was ignored. Merklen said as county attorney, she felt she had the authority to give Scuderi-Hunter a directive. “I am higher on the organizational chart,” Merklen said.

Scuderi-Hunter’s duty of loyalty to the county was violated in several ways, Merklen said: by failing to disclose that ScuderiHunter had an opinion or wanted to be heard in the juvenile delinquency case, was one of those ways.

Merklen accused ScuderiHunter of “sand-bagging” the probation department and takSee DSS Commissoner page 6

Walton Girl Scouts... continued from front page provement.” The troop added an attractive flower garden at the base of the park flagpole, which, according to Madison Reed, would improve the appearance of the park. The Girl Scouts will be responsible for the flower garden in the park for the next few years.

When asked why she joined Girl Scouts, Caragh O’Connor responded, “So I can help the community.”

Lacey Frank commented that not only was this particular project something the Scouts wanted to do for the community but it was also a learning experience.

Girl Scout Paige Moody stated, “Anyone can be a Girl Scout.”

“It was great experience,” for the girls, said leader Dawn Ladd, who added that the girls found there were limits as to what can be done. Their original plan was to install a concrete wall on the hillside of Bassett Park but discovered that was too costly. They also wanted to install a barbecue grill, but after looking into the idea, learned village code would prevent them from doing so be-

cause there is not a nearby water source. The Scouts also looked into installing “no smoking” signs but learned the park has not been designated a no smoking area.

What they did add to the park was a funnel ball game. Before funnel ball was installed, the Scouts met with town and village of Walton Code Enforcement Officer Steve Dutcher and Director of Parks and Recreation Brian Sprague to ensure its installation was compliant.

The troop also added a pet waste station for which the Scouts dug the holes and poured concrete.

The troop wants to recognize contractor Darren Taylor who

assisted with hanging signs and showed the girls how to safely drill into steel and use a screw gun. They learned the rules of ladder safety and wore safety glasses and gloves when required.

The signs were purchased from As You Wish Designs of Walton.

To receive Silver Medals - the highest honor for Girl Scout Cadets - each Girl Scout must perform a minimum of 50 hours of community service, a goal that’s within reach for these ladies.

Loraine Davila and Crystal Barringer share troop leader responsibilities with Ladd.

The troop will be formally recognized for their accomplishments next June.

Walton Walks To Feed The Needy

By Ron Galley It was a pleasant Sunday afternoon, where Walton church communities gathered to raise money for local hunger, raising - $5,700 - at the annual hunger walk. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, with good music provided by Patrick Meredith, and walkers, representing churches.

Larry Light, Pastor of the New Hope Church, was the event emcee. He introduced dignitaries on hand, including Walton Town Supervisor Joe Cetta, Village Trustee Nate Jamieson, Dottie Kruppo of the primary sponsor UHS Delaware Valley Hospital, and Carol Moore, representing local food bank chair The ARC of Delaware County, who also addressed the gathering. Kent Tertuchian, First United Methodist Pastor, offered a prayer, just prior to the walk.

The money raised this year is up slightly from a year ago. This year 55 walkers participated. Forty percent of the money raised supports the Walton Food Bank, another 25% helps fund the backpack program for Walton schools and 25% goes to five churches in the community that sponsor free meals, including First Bap-

tist, First Congregational, Christ Episcopal, United Methodist and New Hope Community churches. In the past, 10% went to global missions, but this year the hunger walk committee decided to contribute locally to the Wild and

Wooly 4-H Club of Walton.

When asked about the future of the Walton Hunger Walk, planning committee member Denise Jackson said the group plans to meet soon to discuss possible changes for next year’s event.

SUNY Delhi Students, Community And Beyond Look To Overcome Stigma Of Suicide

By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - The seventh annual Out Of the Darkness Walk hosted at SUNY Delhi in partnership the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, was successful.

A couple of hundred individuals turned out on SUNY Delhi’s campus Saturday before honoring, remembering, then walking down to the Courthouse Square and back through the village of Delhi.

be a frost so have covers ready for tender stuff and sweatshirt or jackets for yourself.

Fall is iffy for color this year - first it was dull, the last week we started to brighten up but Saturday was really windy and it rained leaves, and we now have trees on some hillsides half empty of leaves.

If we don’t get the bright colors before the frost (if we get one) on Friday night, you’re going to see lots of fallen leaves.

By the way, found the first Wooly Bear Friday actually Brantley Wood found it on this hill. It looks normal - a little more black at the tail (that’s fall) which means chilly, a little more than half brown, that’s snow, and a touch of black at the head - that’s spring - cold.

For announcements, call 607-7865-7837 or mail to 740 Lower Third Brook, Walton or email 740fmw@gmail.com Have a great week! ~Frank

We had a week with temperatures way above normal: 80 degrees, 65 degrees, 74 degrees, 63 degrees, 70 degrees and 81 degrees. It doesn’t sound too high, except normal is 63 degrees.

We also had some rain not enough to hit normal but some. Monday had .30, Tuesday .05, Thursday .27 and Saturday, .05 - which brings the total at the moment to 2.54 inches - normal is 3.63 inches and prediction for Sunday and Monday is no precipitation for Sunday and Monday is no precipitation so we’ll be down by over an inch.

The upcoming week is really going to end cold and there are several chances of showers and numerous cold fronts. We’ll be above average Tuesday and part of Wednesday with showers possible Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, then a big temperature drop so the highs Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the low 50s - that’s below normal and I really think Friday night could

Unfortunately weather caused the scheduled Homecoming activi-

DSS Commissioner... continued from front page ing an adversarial position to the child being held in detention as was recommended by the probation department. “She was taking an adversarial position against the county. She was saying that there were options that probation wasn’t advocating for,” Merklen said. And, at no time did she disclose she was having conversations with the child’s attorney, Merklen said.

The judge ultimately decided to place the child in foster care with electronic monitoring, despite probation’s request and Merklen’s advocacy for detention.

Merklen then testified that there was little cooperation between the county attorney’s office and DSS. “Some days were good. Some days were not so good. At times we disagreed about things,” Merklen testified.

“But that’s the way it is.” There were times, Merklen said, when things between herself and Scuderi-Hunter were “unpleasant.”

Phone messages went unanswered, Merklen said. To compound the issue, Merklen said, she was told that DSS caseworkers were told not to take calls from the county attorney’s office or to speak with Merklen directly.

The lack of cooperation, Merklen said, impaired her office’s effectiveness and put her office in a position of going into court unprepared.

Frustration was felt by both departments, and both women, and Scuderi-Hunter requested a meeting between the two with Molé present in Sept. 2018. “The commissioner basically demanded the meeting and my presence to talk about miscommunication between her and I,” Merklen testified.

However, Merklen continued, she did not feel that there was any miscommunication. As an example, Merklen cited an instance in which she was directed by the finance committee to contact the state and ask what the requirements were for billing and payment under the cooperative agreement between DSS and the county attorney’s office, under which the county attorney’s office is reimbursed by DSS for time that it represents DSS. Merklen testified that she contacted the state and in response Scuderi-Hunter felt like Merklen was interfering with her job.

Merklen wanted to know how the reimbursement worked, she testified, and what kind of documentation, if any, she was required to supply to the DSS in order to be reimbursed for county attorney time.

Scuderi-Hunter has requested the county attorney’s office provide a “time study” of hours spent on DSS issues in support of an annual contract in excess of $800,000 between the two departments.

Merklen said she disagreed with the time study, as did her predecessor. “As a county attorney,” Merklen said, “You can’t work for a lay person. It’s unethical. So, for me to provide her with time sheets - I wasn’t sure I could do that.”

There was already a contract in place with a dollar figure attached to it for services rendered, Merklen said. “If I were to keep time sheets, that is my purview but I know what my attorneys are working on. I know what my staff

is doing. That’s for my determination, not someone else’s.” Ultimately, Merklen said, the state told her she did not have to provide DSS with a time records, but I could if I wanted to. “She wasn’t happy about it,” Merklen said.

Merklen characterized Scuderi-Hunter as aggressive, talking loudly, gesturing and “red-inthe-face” during the Sept. 2018 meeting. The meeting concluded with the two department heads agreeing to make an “extra effort” at cooperation and communication.

However, Merklen said, the relationship between the two departments deteriorated even further.

If a directive had been given

by Scuderi-Hunter to caseworkers and staff not to communicate with the county attorney’s office, Merklen testified, it would not have been lawful. Withholding information from other department heads, Merklen said, is a breach of duty.

Merklen then cited various cases involving children who were placed in foster care through abuse and/or neglect proceedings and in juvenile delinquency proceedings revealing, in violation of rules protecting the identity of children in care or custody, the first names of the children.

Hearing Examiner Alfred Riccio twice censored Merklen for the disclosure, directed that all people present in the hearing not disclose any identifying information about the children and threatened to close the hearing to the public if she revealed the names of any children again.

Merklen testified about the children’s cases to clarify the ways in which she claimed Scuderi-Hunter interfered with cases, ignored her directives and worked in opposition to the county attorney’s office.

Scuderi-Hunter had “overruled her entire staff,” Merklen said. The caseworkers are the people Merklen wants to hear from, she said. The caseworkers are the ones who tell Merklen what’s going on with a family and they are the ones who would normally be called to testify in court.

Merklen, in response to questions asked by Miller, testified about a foster care case from 2015, despite multiple and standing objections from ScuderiHunter’s lawyer Ronald Dunn, who cited law which governs the presentment of allegations prior to the 18 months preceding an employee suspension.

In that case, Merklen testified that the child was prescribed medication and Scuderi-Hunter prevented the child from getting the medication. The child’s attorney brought a contempt petition against the county, in which Merklen successfully represented and defended Scuderi-Hunter’s actions and those of DSS. However, during testimony, Merklen stated that ScuderiHunter’s actions amounted to exposing the county to potential liability.

“My legal opinion is that Dana was not following the court’s order,” Merklen said. Merklen testified that she believed ScuderiHunter repeatedly violated the court’s orders and the child suffered because of Scuderi-Hunter’s actions.

Merklen then testified, following a recitation by Miller of

the penal law definition of endangering the welfare of a child, that Scuderi-Hunter’s behavior amounted to a criminal act and that she had considered bringing criminal charges against Scuderi-Hunter; but later decided against doing so because of the position it would have put the county and the foster family in. It was, likewise, a hard decision not to make a “hotline” call, reporting Scuderi-Hunter to the state’s child abuse registry, Merklen testified.

Dunn then provided Merklen with an affidavit prepared by Scuderi-Hunter defending Scuderi-Hunter against the contempt petition, which was submitted

by Merklen to the court during the contempt proceeding on the county’s behalf.

In response to asking Merklen to identify the document, Merklen, surprised, asked Dunn, “How did you get this?”

Telling Merklen that he was the one who gets to ask the questions, not the other way around, Dunn then told Riccio and Miller that his office has made a request to the county to produce the affidavit which was used in the court proceeding in question, “And this is the copy that was produced.”

Miller argued against the Hearing Officer using it as evidence stating that Merklen did not prepare the affidavit and she had no way of knowing the information contained in the affidavit is truthful.

Dunn countered that Merklen has an ethical obligation to investigate the facts of a case and to represent her client, who in this case was Scuderi-Hunter.

“If your client is misrepresenting facts to the court, do you have an obligation to tell the court?”

Dunn asked Merklen. Merklen responded that she does have an obligation to do so and never made any such statement to the court.

Under cross examination by Dunn, Merklen testified that she “begged and pleaded” on Scuderi-Hunter’s behalf for the judge to allow medical consultants additional time to agree about the child’s care plan. The judge, Merklen testified, gave medical professionals two days to come to an agreement.

The formal outcome of the contempt petition filed against DSS was no finding of contempt against the department.

Merklen also testified that Scuderi-Hunter accused her of having a conflict of interest in representing various county departments via a letter sent by Scuderi-Hunter to members of the social services committee.

“Dana never gave me the letter,” Merklen said, “But I got my hands on it. I think I got it from the social services committee.”

The disciplinary hearing will resume on Oct. 8 at 9:30 a.m., where Dunn will continue his cross-examination of Merklen.

Additional hearing dates of Oct. 9, 21, 22 and 25 have also been scheduled, though it is unclear whether the hearing will be at the Public Safety Complex on Phoebe Lane or the County Office Building on Main Street in Delhi.

Dunn says he has 20 witnesses to testify on Scuderi-Hunter’s behalf, though he is uncertain whether all of the witnesses will testify.

Behave Yourselves

were disallowed. At one point a witness moved less than 10 feet from the interrogator. It was as if they were in a separate, private room.

The four reporters who covered this proceeding are to be commended. They strained their ears to get their stories and report them as accurately as circumstances allowed.

There are at least five more days of hearings scheduled. If we behave, we may be allowed to attend. One witness misspoke and we were cautioned that, “if this happened again, the hearings would be closed to the public.”

So, even if we are not disruptive, do behave, we may be closed out of the Scuderi-Hunter hearings.

MARIE VANVALKENBURGH DELHI

When I was a young child, I was instructed ‘to behave.’ Sometimes this was a general instruction. Sometimes this was clearly spelled out at special family functions, at weddings, at funerals, at worship. By the time my generation reached the age of majority, paying our own way, we had a really good idea of what was acceptable behavior in public.

Last week a dozen or so of us attended public hearings where we were instructed, twice a day, that, ‘if we disrupted the hearing, it would be closed to the public,’ as if we were incorrigible children.

First, this was a public hearing, held in a public place, paid for by tax dollars, and the salaries of the participants were paid by our tax dollars. I was under the impression that it had been previously adjudicated that such hearings, open to the public, could be both photographed and recorded. Although this was not a court proceeding, both of these were disallowed.

The participants were at one end of a double room. We, the observers / audience were seated in the other half of the double room. The total occupancy of everyone at the hearings totaled about 25. The only microphones were for the court reporter. There were no speakers turned on for those of us who wanted to know what was being said. Although the room was supplied with microphones and speakers paid for by our tax dollars, those, too,

Disappointed

I was very disappointed to read that the county was going to employ Moon to “investigate” the social services department.

Moon left among allegations of unscrupulous and illegal behavior. I considered my tenure as supervisor a failure, as neither Moon nor Porter Kirkwood was indicted.

I was also disappointed that the county is still employing Frank Miller every time they need anything unscrupulous or underhanded done. I am also disappointed that the county attorney can’t do any of the county law work and has to farm everything out. It should be a part time job and pay substantially less money.

Climate Change in Delaware County Part 1 - Solving One Problem But Creating Another?

By Lillian Browne The following segment is the first in a three part series which explores climate change as experienced in Delaware County. This series is the companion to the The Reporter’s podcast ‘Off the Record.’ The podcast can be accessed at the-reporter.net and anchor. fm/the-reporter.

WALTON - Climate change is real. Global warming is real. Both terms are accurate, and experts - as well as non-experts - agree that climate change is serious and global impacts are expected to become more pronounced in the coming years.

Extreme weather events, such as catastrophic flooding, have become more extreme, according to scientists and local Weather Observer Frank Ward of Walton, and Delaware County is not exempt from those events.

Ward defines climate change as “a long range change over at least 100 years.” Any shorter timeframe, he said, is just weather.

He has weather records from as far back as 1898 - and in his review of those records, has concluded that there has been a dramatic change in the climate in Delaware County.

Comparing records from 1950 through the present he has made note of trends in precipitation.

Although Delaware County has seen less snow, there has been a tremendous increase in the amount of precipitation - that’s anything falling out of the sky, he said, whether rain, snow, sleet or hail.

The average amount of rainfall in Delaware County was trending at 44.7 inches annually. Over the past 10 years, Ward said, Delaware County has had nine years

with over 50 inches of rain. Last year, 2018, was the second wettest year on record with 65.25 inches of precipitation measured. “We were one-tenth of an inch shy from it being the wettest year ever,” Ward said. The record is held by the year 1940, he said.

He also reveals snowfall trends: 1950 totaled 118 inches; 1980 was down to 112 inches measured and for the year 2000, Delaware County only saw 109 inches of snow. Snow totals have decreased since then with 2012 measuring 36.5 inches and 2016 being “the winter that wasn’t” with only 26 inches of snow measured. 2017 was an exceptional year, Ward said, with 134 inches of snow falling. However, he explained, that entire amount of snow fell between mid-January and the end of March.

There have also been three Novembers - 2012, 2016 and 2018 where there was no snow fall at all.

Since the climate is going to continue to change, whether we like it or not, he said, the question becomes whether something can be done to address it. The answer to that question, he said is “Yes.” There are things that we can do personally, as a community and globally. Some of those things are simple, like turning off the lights in an unoccupied room. The energy used to generate electricity has to be created somehow, he said, and that is typically through the use of oil, coal or natural gas. Those fuels are stored carbons, and when burned, introduce more carbon into the atmosphere.

In contrast, he said, burning wood does not release stored carbon.

Another simple thing that peo-

Ward measures precipitation in calibrated equipment provided to him by the National Weather Service, after each precipitation event.

Lillian Browne/The Reporter

The length of the growing season has changed in Delaware County, along with the amount of rain and snowfall, according to Weather Observer Frank Ward, here at his Third Brook Road homestead in Walton.

Lillian Browne/The Reporter

Weather Observer Frank Ward has been keeping weather records for nearly 50 years. Here, he is pictured with his rock and mineral display area, where he maintains weather records. ple can do is hang laundry out to dry, rather than using a dryer - which is run on propane, electricity or natural gas.

Electric cars, he warns, require electricity which is generated by burning fossil fuels.

Microwaves are better for the environment than ovens or stoves - they require less energy to heat; and gas grills are more carbon-friendly than charcoal grills.

“Think before you act and do the thing that will use the least amount of our resources.” If everyone does a little bit, he said, it will make a difference. Above all things, he says, “Recycle!”

He’s not certain whether in our attempts to solve one problem, that we aren’t creating another problem.

The construction of massive solar farms and wind turbines may not be well thought-out solutions, either, he said. Swaths of forests must be cut down to make way for wind turbines, and then there is the construction of transmission lines and paving to access the sites. He’s also unsure whether there is enough data collected on the slowing down of the winds by the construction of wind turbines, that can result in pockets of temperature changes.

Solar panels also consume vast plots of land and absorbs tremendous amounts of energy from the sun. He’s not sure those things have been studied enough for widespread implementation without dire consequences.

He cites another statistic that has far-reaching implications beyond Delaware County, but may have an effect on Delaware County just the same - rising oceans. The Atlantic Ocean, Ward says, has risen eight inches in the past 50 years.

People need to stop building homes on the coastline, he said.

Following a flood event, people should not be rebuilding in the same place that was flooded.

“We keep losing the battle!” he says with exasperation. Flooding has happened in the past and will continue to happen. “It’s a reality and we need to take a broader view of what’s happening,” Ward said.

They are not perfect solutions, he admits, but it’s a start.

Population migration is also a reality. People move when conditions become too extreme - too hot, too cold or there becomes a lack or an overabundance of water.

Population migration may effect Delaware County, he said, because areas that people relocate to can become environmentally and economically strained.

For all of Delaware County’s

faults, he says, residents are very lucky to have clean, plentiful and fresh water.

“It’s been over 20 years since we’ve had a drought,” Ward said.

“We were due for one about eight years ago.” Instead, we now get downpours instead of soaking, gentle rains, Ward said.

Climate change is being tackled nationally and the annual United Nations Climate Action Summit was held this year on Sept. 23, offering pathways and actions to address the climate crisis, with calls for increased ambition and accelerated action in attempts to globally reduce emissions by 45% by 2030 and to reach carbon neutrality by midcentury.

Some of the actions to come out of the Summit were: • France refusing to trade with any country that have policies that counter the Paris Agreement.

Revisiting the Past

3rd Annual West Kortright Centre Barn Tour Celebrates Walton

By Lillian Browne WALTON - The third annual West Kortright Centre Barn Tour, held on Sunday, Sept. 29 in Walton, was a walk down memory lane for many participants and a celebration of Delaware County’s agricultural roots.

The tour was also an opportunity to view the architectural and engineering wisdom and efficiencies of barn builders of the past.

Co-organized by Lindy Taggart, whose Dunk Hill Road barns were among the eight historic barns featured as part of the event, the tour is a nod to the craftsmanship and work ethic of the early settlers and farmers of Walton.

Though 80 attendees had pre-registered for the event, the day-end count neared 150 which included history, architecture and agricultural lovers - as well as many curiosity seekers.

People from as close as Bovina, Treadwell and Deposit took the tour, as well as those from Long Island, Manhattan and Long Island.

One of the barns, dubbed the Budine barn, on Budine Road, is now owned by Tom and De-

nise Daily, who purchased the property in 1990. “It will never be known as the Dailey Barn,” Denise said good-naturedly, chuckling, while touring the lower level with former farm owner Susan Budine Dann.

The two inspected the paw prints of a wayward dog, probably Dann’s, she admitted, and the date 10-21-32, forever memorialized in the poured concrete of the lower level, which previously housed 60 Holstein cows - the only kind there really is, according to Ed Budine, 64, who lived on the farm from 1955 to 1964, prior to Susan and her husband Stan Budine Sr., who died on the farm, at the age of 37.

Budine explained how the farm came into the hands of the Budine family. “Dad wanted a bigger farm and the Howlands (neighboring farmers) wanted a smaller farm. So they swapped,” he said.

Budine was 12 years old when he moved off the farm, he said.

The tour, he said, was an opportunity to revisit the memories of his childhood.

He told of the story of his naming. “I was named on the back corner of the barn,” Budine told.

“My father said I was going to

The Budine barn, now owned by Tom and Denise Dailey, was featured on the tour. be ‘Edward H.’ My mother said ‘No, he’s going to be Wayne Arnold.’ My father won that one,” Budine said laughing. He further explained that he does not have a middle name. Just the letter “H.” It runs in the family, he said.

His mother’s middle “name” was “M.” He described the changes in the landscape noting that there were no white pine trees fencing Delaware County Schoolhouse No. 12, that sits on the border property between the

Sawed timbers and enormous logs were used to construct the Budine barn.

Budine farm and County Route 22 - which will always be known as East Brook Road to the locals, he said.

A small prefabricated shed, dressed-up by the Dailey’s as a one-room schoolhouse for the youngsters in their lives, was the former location of the pig pen complete with a swampy-pond, Budine further reminisced.

The purchase of the family’s first John Deere 40 tractor was a treat, he said. “I didn’t bang my head on the beams going up and down the aisle,” he said.

He recollected opening the second-floor chute to release saw dust into a wheel barrow on the first floor of the barn; and, he shared the first of several supernatural or paranormal stories heard throughout the morning that occurred on the farm.

Sometime between 1960 and 1964, Budine said, while playing on a rusty road grader parked on the property in a field adjacent to the farm house, he saw a “flying saucer” approach the farm from MacGibbon Hollow Road-way.

“It was ‘super-fast’,” he recalled. It scared him, he said and he started running back toward the barn,

but not before the UFO - “round with lots of different-colored lights on it” - caught up to him, hovering over him for a moment before darting away.

Susan had her own supernatural stories to tell, which she attributes to visits from her husband, who died suddenly at the farm from a heart attack in 1981.

While on the tour, after exiting the barn from the third-floor, a large metal gate fencing an upper hayfield, swung open on its own, while she was standing there thinking about how much the property had changed since she and her husband had farmed it. She was thinking, she said, of how nice the property is and how much her husband would have liked it, when the gate swung open by itself. She took the swinging gate as a sign from her husband that his spirit was still there and that he did, indeed, approve of the changes on the property.

Like Ed Budine and family, she and her husband Stan, milked a 60-head Holstein herd, after purchasing the farm and property in 1967. Sue could not manage the property after her husband died

Holley-Hill Farm is one of the last operating dairy farms in Walton where a 75-80 head herd of Holsteins is milked. The farm has diversified with a public pumpkin patch and visitors can view the herd, with supervision. Here, Emelia McGraw, 2, of Walton, meets a 2-day old calf after picking out a pumpkin for herself and her brother. and it was sold in 1986.

Tom and Denise discovered the property for sale in an advertisement in the New York Times.

The classified ad in the real estate section of the paper advertised the 230 acre Walton ‘end-of-road-farm’ with a beautiful 20-foot wide trout stream, stone walls and magnificent valley views where deer and wild turkey abound. The ad described the farm house as a ‘pleasing four bedroom’ that needed some work.

“Our kids thought we were nuts,” Denise said of the property’s purchase. But, she added, “It was everything that was appealing to us.”

It took many years to rehabilitate the barn and repair and update the home to make it livable.

“There were snakes and birds nesting in the walls,” Denise recalled. “It was in astonishingly awful shape.”

It took 15 years to fix up the barn, starting with roof replacement. The milk house, which had been flooded twice, was re-purposed as a writing studio - after re-directing the flow of the property’s natural springs, away from the buildings.

The milk tanks used to stand in the middle of the now-writing studio, Ed recalled, marveling at

the stark difference in the functionality of the space.

In addition to other landscaping, the Dailey’s have planted over 3,000 trees on the property - their commitment to ecological sustainability and environmental friendliness. They also entered into an agreement with the Watershed Agricultural Council to forever keep the property farmland. The couple is committed to leaving the property - as their legacy - to their children. Her favorite feature of the barn, Denise said, “Is the spaciousness and how it teaches me how it works.

It’s so practical. I love the wood work and the architecture and to see the light coming through the spaces that has a funny, lacy affect.”

The interior of the barn attests to the fine workmanship of the original owners, Denise said in her description of the barn. The enormous logs at the base of each mow to support the hay bales, the sawed timbers, the adze marks to square off the ground tree trunks complete the design and speak to the wisdom and necessity in and of the building.

In keeping with the functional, utilitarian nature of a barn, the Daileys use the space to store their landscaping equipment, tools and wood harvested from

the property throughout the year.

The barn is also used to store memories of those who have come and gone, and those who remain. The preservation of the barn is also a way to preserve the culture that built Walton and Delaware County, Denise said.

Other barns featured on the tour included: The Henderson Barn at 5011 East Brook Road. The threefloored barn was constructed of hand-hewn post and beam and its distinctive, double-sloped gambrel roof provides greater storage capacity in the haw mow.

A 28-head Jersey cow herd was hand-milked at the ground level and the barn served as home to calves, heifers and work horses.

The second floor housed a manure sled that was used during the winter months. The third floor was the framework for a hay mow, accessed by a hand-laid stone bridgeway. The third floor was also used for grain threshing which was fed down a chute that emptied into a feed box on the first floor.

The Taggart Barns at 4176 and 3764 Dunk Hill Road. Jim and Lindy Taggart purchased the farm in 1978 to add to their hay operation. The barn at 4176 Dunk Hill Road is used mainly to store farm equipment - twocylinder John Deere tractors, wanting their grandchildren to learn that progress could be made with practical and affordable farm equipment. The second barn housed a small herd of dairy cows from 1970 - 2010. A chicken coop was converted to a sap house and now the family uses vintage equipment to make maple syrup on the farm.

Holley-Hill Farm at 269 County Route 23. Dave and Elaine Holley bought the farm in 1989 and it is one of the last operating dairy farms in Walton. The barn was constructed over 100 years ago and houses a 75-80-head herd of Holstein cows. The Holleys diversified their dairy operation with a popular pumpkin patch, which is open to the public from late September through the end of October.

The Wood Barn at 1231 Seeley Wood Road. The cow barn was constructed in 1912 in a community-wide barn-raising. The farm was used to raise pigs and chicken and was a large maple syrup operation until the Maple trees died of insect infestation.

The wagon barn, directly across from the barn was built in 1898.

The Upland Center Barns at 2410 Dunk Hill Road, were also featured on the tour.

The tour is a fund-raiser for the West Kortright Centre. Proceeds are used to support arts and community programs. For more information about the West Kortright Centre visit westkc.org.

The Daileys have kept several nostalgic items from their purchase of the property in 1990 including this gas pump. Leaded gas was 22 cents per gallon when the pump was last used.

Warriors Erase 21 Point Deficit To Beat Bulldogs

By Brianna Schmitz The Walton Warriors erased a 21-point deficit to beat rival Delhi Bulldogs 38-35 in Saturday’s exciting matchup.

While Walton has been dominant the last few years when matched against Delhi, you wouldn’t know it by this game.

Both teams’ offenses were on display between these divisional opponents. Coming into this game the Warriors were ranked seventh in the state and the Bulldogs twelfth.

Walton started its first drive with a fumble. Delhi recovered, but the Warriors’ defense forced a turnover on downs. The Warriors struck first with a touchdown run and 2 point conversion by Kaylieb Stanton, set up by a pass from Dylan Jacob to Kyle Wright for 62 yards. The Bulldogs responded quickly with a rushing touchdown by Bryce Bracchy, followed by an extra point cutting the Warriors’ lead to 8-7.

Delhi’s defense caused back-toback turnovers, an interception

by Tyler Bruce followed by another Bulldog fumble recovery.

The Bulldogs went on to score three times, one on a pass play from Luke Branigan to Logan Aikens then Warren Pardee collected two rushing touchdowns.

After steady pickups by the Warriors, Stanton ran the ball in for a touchdown. Delhi’s strong offense and several Walton turnovers led to Delhi taking a 28-14 halftime lead.

“We’re still making a lot of mis-

takes - more mental rather than physical mistakes,” said Walton Head Coach Adam Hoover. “Our adjustment was just to communicate better.”

In the second half, Walton’s defense took a stand and their offense drove down the field but it was halted by two Delhi quarterback sacks. Delhi’s quarterback Branigan continued to come up big, with a scrambling first down pass to Bruce. Delhi took a commanding lead of 3514 after another touchdown pass from Branigan to Pardee.

Momentum started to shift when Morgan Condon made a big catch from Jacob. Walton’s first score of the second half came on a huge pass play from Jacob to Noah Aubin, and Nick Lamoreaux made the 2 point conversion. Walton took advantage of a short punt by Delhi and a rushing touchdown by Jacob. Warriors’ Stanton runs in the 2 point conversion trimming the Bulldogs’ lead to 35-30. The Warriors defense forced a fourth down and tipped the punt allowing for good field position. Walton’s Nick Lamoreaux runs in the lead changing touchdown with Jacob getting the 2 points. This completed a 21 point comeback by the Warriors and giving them a 38-35 lead. Delhi fought back, and almost won in the waning minutes of the game, but Walton’s Jacob made a jumping interception in the end zone to stop the Bulldogs. Walton gets their third win of the season, while giving Delhi their first loss.

Walton’s Dylan Jacob intercepts a pass intended for Delhi’s Kyle Pagillo as Walton’s Kyle Wright (20) and Delhi’s Ryan Wilson (24) look on during Walton’s 38-35 win on Saturday. The fourth quarter end-zone interception sealed the game for Walton. the day with three quarterback sacks, an interception and a tipped punt.

Team standouts include Jacob, who had 168 passing yards and two touchdowns on the day (one throwing and one rushing), also had the game-saving interception. Lamoreaux had 66 yards on 5 carries and the winning touchdown. Stanton contributed with 78 yards rushing, two touchdowns and two 2 point conversions. Wright finished with 82 yards on offense.

Delhi’s defense collected four fumbles, one interception and two sacks. Quarterback Branigan had a big day with several timely passes and two touchdowns. The Bulldogs got touchdowns from Aikens and Bracchy. Pardee led the way for the Bulldog offensive with three touchdowns.

Coach Adam Hoover, when asked about the game, said, “It was exciting. It’s a game you’re much happier to be on the winning side of. It helps when your rival is playing good football. It’s always fun, but when we’re going into it not having that great of a team and they have a good team or we have a good team and they don’t have that great of a team it loses a little bit of its luster. So it’s nice to see Delaware County kind of playing good football again with us, Delhi, and Sidney.

You get it back to where teams don’t want to come to Delaware County to play.”

Walton Warriors (3-1) will travel to play Bainbridge Guilford Bobcats (0-4) Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m.

Delhi Bulldogs (3-1) will visit the Greene Trojans (2-2) Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m.

SK Boys Take Home Chic Walshe Title In Soccer Thriller

By Rosie Cunningham

DAVENPORT - Despite their best effort, the Hawkeyes just couldn’t take home the Chic Walshe win in Davenport Saturday.

South Kortright defeated Cooperstown 4-3 during the final game just minutes into overtime.

With a 3-3 tied score, SK’s Charlie Kuhn sent a corner kick across the goal and senior Quinlan Davis capitalized, finding the back of the net for the winning strike.

The Rams were down 3-1 with just over 20 minutes left and Cooperstown was outplaying and ball handling the boys in blue.

Logan Kaufman had the game tying goal for the Rams. Davis finished with a pair of goals and

teammate Stanley Anderson tallied one goal.

Colby Diamond had a goal and an assist in the loss and Liam Spencer and P.J. Kuber also earned a goal a piece.

Keeper Erik Kukenberger had 12 stops between the post.

“It was a very tight game and could have went either way,” said SK Coach Bob VanValkenburgh.

“It was a good test for us to come back from a deficit. I thought defensively, Logan Firment stuck out, he played the entire game at sweeper and saved us numerous times. Offensively as a group, we continued to put pressure on them in second half. It is always a exciting game when we play Cooperstown each year.”

Hoover added, “His athleti-

“Jeffrey Bullis got off some great serves from the wing that we just couldn’t get on the end of.”

Laing noted that there were several standouts on the defensive side of things.

“Junior goalkeeper Cole Ruff made four saves in the game and came off his line well to thwart a lot of other chances by the Raiders,” she said. “Centerbacks Nick McWeeney and Rodney Blanchard shut down GMU’s attack from getting many dangerous opportunities.

“Overall, we played well. It was nice turn around after the game against Schenevus and respond with the win. We played as a team, moving the ball good. We had some other opportunities to score but GMU’s keepers made some good saves to keep it to 1-0.”

By Rosie Cunningham Franklin defeated Gilbertsville-Mount Upton 4-0 on Friday, Sept. 27 in the Tri-Valley League.

Franklin’s Valentina Temple initiated scoring before the break. Teammate Zoe Warren snuck one by the keeper just before the half.

Kayla Campbell had a pair of assists in the win. Franklin keeper Molly McLaughlin tallied seven saves.

“Maddy Ackley and Alyssa Nowhitney were strong in the midfield,” said Laing. “We had strong performances from our center-backs Lucia Temple and Leah Hyzer. Of course, Molly McLaughlin kept us out of trouble in the goal.

“The team played well. After the 6-0 loss to Schenevus on Tuesday, we worked on our team and individual defending for two straight practices.

Quinlan Davis always willing to work with the younger players, and encourage their improvement and understanding . Quinlan has scored 11 goals this season, many of which has come off head balls.”

Budine Earns Podium Placement For Second Straight Year

By Anthony Morgano Kyle Budine, a Walton-based firearms instructor, recently competed in the World Shooting Championship alongside his father and wife. The event was held in Glen Gary, W.V., and it featured 12 events across three different shooting disciplines: rifle, pistol, and shotgun. Kyle had three top-5 finishes, placing fourth in the Bianchi Cup, third in the Bi-Athalon, and second in the Cowboy Action.

His placement in the different events led him to his second consecutive top-10 finish, and he won a Ruger Precision rifle. “My biggest takeaway from the event is that I need to practice more,” Budine said. “I placed well in

events that I do not have much experience in, so if I practice I might be able to do even better.”

Budine is a member of a bullseye pistol league during the winter, although bullseye shooting is not one of the events at the World Shooting Championship.

“The event is a lot of fun, there’s no drama and everyone gets along and helps each other,” Budine explained. “Even though it is a competitive event, there are a lot of people that will help to mentor and give advice on events that you might not have a lot of experience in.”

“This year was more fun because I got to shoot with my family. It was my wife’s first match, and I was more relaxed because I had everyone there.”

Walton Boys Soccer Drops Stamford On The Road

By Rosie Cunningham STAMFORD - The Walton boys soccer team took a 2-0 win over Stamford on the road in a nonleague game Friday.

Walton’s Josh Carr got the Warriors on the board two minutes into the second half off of a low cross from Kaiden Vernold.

Kaelen Smith scored off of an assist from Jorge Delpino with 10 minutes left on the clock to con-

clude scoring.

“We played very well overall,” said Walton Coach Justin Preston. “We moved the ball well, controlled the midfield and gave ourselves numerous scoring chances. We still need to work on finishing as we missed three or four one-on-ones with the goalie. Jake Pomeroy did a nice job at sweeper as we didn’t concede any threatening scoring chances.”

Stamford Girls Soccer Earns First Win Of The Season

By Rosie Cunningham

STAMFORD - Stamford defeated Charlotte Valley 2-0 to earn the team’s first win of the season on Thursday.

SCS’s Lauren Hartwell and Claire Kletchka each scored a goal in the win and Georgia Lynch added an assist.

“It feels pretty good because the girls knew I graduated from Davenport so they really wanted to get this one for me,” Indians’ coach Brittany Westcott said. “As of late they’ve started playing really well, and really well together. I couldn’t be more proud of how the team has come along this year.”

Keeper Melanie Hoyt made three stops in the victory.

“The girls really wanted to win this game,” said Westcott.

“They’ve really worked hard in practice and the progression is shown during game play. They definitely earned it. We are still battling the injury bug and I’ve been asking players to play out of their normal spots to help. I’m very proud of the efforts these girls have put in and hope that it continues for the rest of the season.

On defense, Katrina Alexander did a tremendous job man marking Davenport stand out Jenna Lubbers. Melanie Hoyt earned her third shutout of the season.”

SCS finished with a 4-3 edge in shots and a 7-0 advantage in corner kicks.

Stamford 0, Walton 0

Walton and Stamford ended a contest with a 0-0 draw Friday.

“Mary Andrews took all our shots for offense this game we just couldn’t find the back of the net unfortunately,” said Westcott.

On defense, the SCS coach said Emily Clark and Leanna McAuliffe were standouts.

“Walton had a few girls that were incredibly fast,” she added.

“Both of these girls have played very minimal defense for me this year but really did a great job back there to make themselves more well-rounded of players.

“Overall, I thought the girls played well. The game really could’ve gone either way. They knew going in Walton would be tough since they are a bigger school but that didn’t stop their adversity from being the underdogs. We played SK early on in the week and they played them tough right up until the final four minutes and ended up losing 1-0. The girls came to practice ready to work Wednesday to get ready for Davenport and got the job done. Having to play Friday they didn’t get much of a break and 80 minutes and then another 20 for overtime you could tell that they were tired but they did not let down. This was our third double overtime game of the season. It’s exciting to see how far they’ve come this year. They are really starting to work together as a team and understand what is being expected of them. I love this group of girls and I’m excited to see how the end of the season pans out for us.”

Stamford keeper Melanie Hoyt made eight saves while Walton’s Elissa Beach tallied five stops.

Blue Devils Defeated

By Sullivan West Bulldogs

By Anthony Morgano The Roscoe/Livingston Manor/ Downsville eight-man football team hosted the Sullivan West Bulldogs in Livingston Manor on Saturday. The game was a defensive battle between the two teams, as each team forced a fumble and secured two interceptions. However, neither team was able to capitalize from the turnovers, and after three quarters the score sat at 0-0.

Early in the fourth quarter, Sullivan West’s Gabe Campanelli was able to intercept a pass from Alaniz Ruiz, and was taken down inside the R/LM/D 5-yard line.

The next play would result in the game’s first score, and a 6-0 advantage for the Bulldogs.

After a short possession by the Blue Devils, Sullivan West received the ball on a punt. Shortly after beginning a drive in their territory, Tarrell Spencer cut the corner and out-paced the defenders for a 65-yard touchdown run.

As time wound down to less than three minutes in the fourth quarter, Sullivan West had a commanding 14-0 lead and the ball.

One last drive, surging up the field as the clock ran off found the Bulldogs back in enemy territory.

Bray scored twice within the first 10 minutes of the game, once on an assist by senior captain Alanna Ruchar, and the lady Bulldogs controlled the possession of the ball throughout most of the game.

Broncos Edged Out By NVU Johnson in NAC Season Finale The SUNY Delhi women’s tennis team closed out their NAC season Sunday with a visit to Northern Vermont Johnson.

Coming into Johnson off a thrilling 5-4 victory over NVU Lyndon on Saturday, the Broncos came up on the opposite end of that score in a defeat to the Badgers.

Delhi earned a doubles win and split the singles competition for its four victories. The two doubles tandem of Madison Saleman, a Delaware Academy graduate, and Susan Hoskins

defeated Kayla Hammond and Iris Serrano, 8-4. They went on to capture their singles matches, as Saleman beat Serrano at four by matching 6-2 scores, while Hoskins triumphed in three sets over Kristen Tirrito, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.

Hailey Gundersen was the Broncos’ remaining victor, winning at two singles against Samantha Kershner, 6-1 and 6-0.

The Badgers won one doubles, 8-5, and three singles, 8-3. They handily took the remaining singles contests: 6-0, 6-1 at one, 6-0,

6-2 at three, and 6-1, 6-0 at six.

The defeat took the ladies out of the running for the NAC Tournament, set to take place next weekend. Their season is not over yet, though, as they head to New York City in two weeks for a pair of weekend matches to wrap up their season. They play Pratt on Saturday, Oct. 12 and Vaughn on Sunday, Oct. 13 at the USTA Tennis Center in Queens, the site of the U.S. Open.

ROB GREEK FARMER OF RUSSIAN MONEY Home of John Sholakes Near Dunraven Entered

5,000 RUBLES WORTH $300 Bolsheviki Rule Has Depreciated Currency to Tenth of Former Value —No Arrests Yet. The home of John Sholakis, a Greek farmer living on the DeWitt place near Dunraven, a few miles from Margaretville, was entered Monday between noon and 2 o’clock, during the absence of the family, and the family bank in the bureau robbed of its contents.

The thief secured 4,000 Russian rubles, an order for 1,027 rubles, $124.62 in United States currency, a gold watch and gold pin. Sholakis is a Greek and his wife is a Russian. They have been living at Dunraven since July.

The theft was discovered when Mr. and Mrs. Sholakis, who had been working in the fields since noon, returned to the house about 2 o’clock. There was a dog in the house and the fact that the animal did not make an alarm would indicate that someone familiar to the place committed the burglary. District Attorney Hewitt and Deputy Sheriff Lambert visited the scene but no arrests have yet been made.

The value of the ruble before the Bolsheviki gained control in Russia was about 51 cents, but owing to the conditions in that country: the currency has greatly depreciated. Rubles have been quoted in the foreign exchange market at $4.50 to $6 per hundred so that the loss will not exceed $500 actual value. Sholakis had owned the Russian paper currency for some time and his loss represents a purchase cost of about $2,600.

Home banks will soon be unpopular in Delaware county as this is the second case of a similar nature reported to the sheriff within two weeks.

START WORK AT ONCE ON NEW KAYSER MILL Local Company Organized Wednesday to Issue Bonds

BUILDING LIKE LETTER H One Story in Height With Wings 353 feet in Length —Will Employ About 800.

The Julius Kayser company will start work at once on the erection of their new silk mill in Walton on the Marcus Townsend property at the foot of William street.

The original plans have been materially changed. The first plan was to have a three to five story concrete building. The final plans, which are on exhibition at the Walton office of the company, call for a one-story building in the shape of the lettert H. The two wings will be parallel to William street and 353 feet in length and 50 feet wide and connected by a building 100 feet long and 50 feet in width. The offices and vault for the storage of silk will be in this connecting building.

The building will be constructed of brick and concrete.

In one wing will be located fifty weaving machines, the cutting department and machines for 480 girl operators. The weaving machines will be run in three shifts, giving employment to 150 men in this department. In the other wing will be the warping department, giving employment to thirty men in two shifts, and 55 winding frames operated by girls.

Concrete walks will be laid for the approach and at the rear will be located a boiler room and a water tank having a storage capacity of 450,000 gallons.

The estimated cost is $150,000.

M.D. Bennett of Sidney has the contract for the construction.

The steel and lumber were ordered some time ago and are expected daily. Building operations will begin next week. About 800 men and women will be given employment in the mill.

At the time the company proposed to erect a new mill in Walton it was agreed that a local company should be formed which would take $60,000 of bonds secured by a lease on the plant at a rental sufficient to pay all interest charges and retire the bonds within twenty years.

A meeting was held Wednesday evening at which the local company was organized and will be incorporated under the name of the Walton Company with a capital of $10,000. H.W. Retz was elected president; A.J. Courtney, vice president; W.E. Henderson, treasurer, and H.E. Lane, secretary. C.E. Hulbert, E.B. Guild and W.D. Burns are the other directors of the company. Steps will be taken at once to issue the bonds.

Employees of the Walton factory have formed a club under the name of the Julius Kayser Employees Club and have rented the second and third floors of F.C. Darling’s brick block, Delaware street, for club rooms. The company has agreed to pay the rental and each member will pay a small fee sufficient to defray the necessary running expenses. A matron will be engaged to take charge of the rooms which will be open in the afternoon and evening. There will be a smoking room for the men, a reading room, ladies’ room and a dance hall on the third floor.

EVANS INDICTED FOR MURDER Deposit Man Charged with Murder of Rickard Girl and Her Mother.

Newell Y. Evans of Deposit has been indicted by the Broome county grand jury on a charge of murder in the first degree for the alleged murder of Vera Rickard and her mother, Mrs. Isabel Rickard, at their home in Binghamton on the night of Aug. 4.

Evans was arraigned in supreme court in Binghamton Monday before Justice A.L. Kellogg, and through his attorney, H.J. Hennessey, entered a plea of not guilty to the indictments.

Evans, a former Erie detective, killed Miss Rickard, it is claimed, when she refused his offer of marriage. At the same time he shot and fatally injured her mother.

PRINCE ALBERT TRIES THE LAW Success in First Two Actions May Lead to Others.

Prince Albert Henry Alexander John Hancock is collecting his back debts that he may live in the style which royalty should enjoy. Prince Albert Hancock, to which he sometimes shortens his name, has been employed on farms in this section in recent years and has now commenced lawsuits on the wholesale to collect amounts which he thinks are due him.

The first action, one against Henry Shaw of Tiffany Hollow, Colchester, to recover for work done in the summer of 1916, was tried before Justice R.L. Shaw and a jury in Walton

Hall Wednesday. The testimony showed that Shaw agreed to furnish Prince Albert with tobacco, spending money and clothes and pay him $1 a day during the haying season. He claimed he paid Prince Albert $15, but Henry Alexander John Hancock denied ever receiving that sum.

The jury after a careful consideration of the amount of tobacco consumed found a verdict of $24 for Prince Albert Henry Alexander John Hancock.

Thursday, before Justice Shaw, a similar action was tried. This time William Moore of Gregory Hollow was the defendant and the work alleged to have been performed as in 1918. The jury’s verdict was $40. Prince Albert is so well satisfied with his two ventures into the law that he contemplates actions against others by whom he has been employed.

Alexander Neish is his attorney.

E.E. Conlon represented Mr. Shaw and Edward O’Connor Mr. Moore.

MAIN ROADS FAVORED BY AMERICAN LEGION About 375 Guests at First County Banquet in Walton

DELEGATES TO ROCHESTER Instructed to Present Several Matters to State ConventionPermanent Organization Formed.

Nearly three hundred and seventy-five guests enjoyed the first annual county banquet of the American Legion held in the dining hall of the Walton armory Friday evening.

The meal was one of the best of the kind ever served here. The guests included members of the American Legion and ladies, families of deceased soldiers, members of the G.A.R. and Spanish War veterans, the village board and businessmen.

The service was under the efficient direction of Mrs. Andrew Gregory and much credit is due to her and Mrs. John M. Eells, who had charge of the preparations, and to Frank Felter, chairman of the soliciting committee.

The tables were tastefully decorated with flowers.

Prayer was offered by Father E.A. Dougher. After the banquet Chairman C.N. Peake acted as toastmaster and called upon A.L. Van Tassell, county superintendent of highways, and F.J. Mulvaney, former division engineer, who spoke briefly on good roads. Rev. W.D. Cavert of Stamford, Father Vincent O’Brien of Hancock and Rev. C.S. Wyckoff of Walton, the three chaplains from the county, gave interesting addresses.

The business session was held in the afternoon in Walton Hall.

Prayer was offered by Rev. C.S. Wyckoff and an address of welcome made by Village President A.J. Courtney.

Mrs. George T. Johnston of the Walton chapter of the American Red Cross presented the case of the community nurse and child welfare movement, and Miss C.C. Foote, Red Cross nurse, read a paper amplifying these subjects. Miss Foote is a member of the Truman C. Tobey Post.

A number of resolutions were adopted, which in brief were as follows: That in event a land grant bill for soldiers is to be made, this convention recommends such legislation as will-facilitate the service men in securing ultimately a home, whether that home be a country, farm or home residence in village or city; that steps be taken to have the war risk insurance bureau issue its receipts in a form to record the period covered by the insurance premium received; that the convention pledge its co-operation to all town historians appointed: that the convention endorse the child welfare work, and the boy scout movement; approving the idea of a county war memorial and

October 2, 2019

providing for the appointment of a committee of five to gather suggestions and data thereon for report to a later meeting.

Chairman Peake named the following, as members of the committee upon a war memorial: Arthur. W. North, Walton; Dr. Grover A. Silliman, Delhi; Rev. V.G. O’Brien, Hancock; Dr. Ralph H. Loomis, Sidney; Dr. Robert Brittain, Downsville; John Knapp, Andes.

The question of good roads was discussed at some length and a resolution presented by Merritt C. Stuart of Corbett was adopted recommending to the Board of Supervisors that they, in order to increase the mileage of completed main highways, consider a rearrangement of the present order of construction with this object: That the most important highways be placed early on the list and that any separate road now listed, which does not properly connect with state roads, be placed for construction after the main connecting roads are completed. Mr. Stuart was appointed chairman of a committee to present the matter to the supervisors. The other members of the committee are: Rev. C.S. Wyckoff, Walton; E. Russell Graham, Delhi; Carroll Chrisman, Sidney; Rev. Walter D. Cavert, Stamford; Ralph Wheelock, Hancock.

The following delegates were elected to the state convention in Rochester: Donald Grant, Hobart; Earl S. St. John and Charles T. O’Neill, Walton; Rev. W.D. Cavert, Stamford; Ralph H. Mungie, Margaretville; Merritt C. Stuart, Corbett; alternates, Carroll Christman of Sidney, E.R. Graham of Delhi, Donald Dickson of Andes, Rev. V.G. O’Brien of Hancock.

Officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, Charles N. Peake, Walton; vice presidents, Merritt C. Stuart of Corbett, Dr. Ralph H. Loomis of Sidney, Rev. W.D. Cavert of Stamford; secretary, Arthur W. North, Walton; treasurer, Dr. Grover A. Silliman, Delhi; war risk officer, Wilbur S. Oles, Delhi; re-employment agent, Harold L. Randall, Hancock.

Dr. G.A. Silliman on behalf of Donald D. Gleason Post of Delhi presented an invitation for the 1920 convention to be held at Delhi, which was unanimously accepted.

SHOT HIMSELF IN LEG Hancock Motorcycle Officer Victim of Painful Accident.

(From Hancock cor.)

Raymond Church, motorcycle policeman at Hancock, accidentally shot himself in the right leg last Thursday afternoon.

Mr. Church went to Lipp’s market about 4 o’clock to get permission from Village President F.L. Lipp to be off duty for two hours. On leaving the market he gave a jump from the step and when he struck the sidewalk the .44 caliber revolver on his hip went off.

The bullet entered the calf of his right leg just below the knee. The ball went diagonally through the leg and came out about four inches above the ankle, striking the sidewalk.

Officer Church was taken to the office of Dr. Woolsey where the injury was dressed. Church lives in Oneonta and has been employed as a motorcycle officer during the past three months by the villages of Deposit and Hancock to enforce the speed ordinances.

ACCIDENT MAY PROVE FATAL Mrs. Neese’s Skull Fractured and Her Hip Broken.

room, which was destroyed. The fire is believed to have been started by a spark from the chimney.

The building and contents were insured for $800.

(From Arkville cor.)

An unusual accident happened on the state road below the Catholic church below Allaben last week Thursday night. Burt Neese, son of Charles Neese of Phoenicia, in a loaded auto was returning from a fire at Allaben, when a big buck deer jumped from the woods directly in front of the car, causing it to turn over.

All were more or less shaken up with minor injuries, except young Mrs. Neese who caught under the car and suffered a broken hip and fractured skull and who at present writing (Wednesday) is in a serious condition. The young couple had only been married a few weeks and were on a visit to his parents at Phoenicia.

Saturday night the Sullivan Chemical company store and post office at Acidalia was robbed of many valuables.

The safe was found open and all its contents missing, including a large sum of money and valuable papers.

The burglars also stopped at the school house, taking some change out of the desk.

(From Treadwell cor.)

The barn on the Meridale-Treadwell road belonging to John Gesell, burned early Tuesday morning, together with most of its contents.

The fire is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion, generated by newly stored millet. The season’s crop of hay and some recently purchased feed were destroyed. All of the stock and horses were out of the barn. The personal property was insured for $1,800 and the barn for $600, which will only partially cover the loss.

CONLON COUNTY CHAIRMAN Democratic Committee Organized at Delhi Friday —Conner Commissioner.

The Democratic county committee met in Delhi Friday afternoon and organized for the ensuing year.

Heckroth of Delhi was elected vice chairman; Mrs. Mary North Guild of Walton, secretary, and David More of Walton, treasurer.

Arthur E. Conner of Walton was recommended to the board of supervisors for appointment as a commissioner of elections to succeed E.F. Govern of Stamford.

A Fine Flock of Hens.

Sidney browns of Sidney owns a flock of hens of which he is very proud. This flock consists of 19 Rose Comb Brown Leghorns, which were hatched May 17, 1918, commenced laying Nov. 15 and up to Sept. 28, 1919, these 19 hens have layed 3,562 eggs, amounting to $128.35; feed cost $33.48, leaving a net profit of $94.86.

The Bonus for Service Men. A movement for an additional bonus for soldiers in the late war has been started in congress. It is proposed to pay each man in the service $30 a month after the first two months. A bond issue of from one to two billion dollars would be required to pay the bonus. It is stated that the matter will remain in abeyance until the meeting of the American Legion in November when it will be evident whether the service men want the bonus or not.

At first thought this bonus will seem to be a considerable additional burden for Uncle Sam, but it is in reality but scant justice. Thousands of service men left good jobs, thousands had all their life plans destroyed or thrown into confusion, thousands returned to find their jobs gone and were weeks in finding new ones. While in the service they received $30 a month. The men whom the selective service act permitted to be slackers stayed at home and got their five to ten dollars a day in some safe occupation.

The so-called bonus of $30 a month is in reality only a small step towards equalizing the rewards of those who risked their lives and those who didn’t.

Betty and Harry Bell have returned from Seattle, Wash., where they attended the wedding of Betty’s late husband Karl Baier’s greatgrandson Thomas Rothschilds, to Kristen Allen. The wedding was held at a restored Bavarian village in the Cascade Mountains. Betty and Harry looked up Pat Bakker Kohler - who graduated from DA with Betty - in Auburn, Wash. The two hadn’t seen each other in over 50 years. The Bakker family had operated the Dr. Bush farm in the late 50s - early 60s. Betty and Harry were dinner guests of the parents of the groom, Bob and Laura Rothschilds, who live in Black Diamond, Wash. The area had very little rain this summer but when Betty and Harry were there it rained every day and the temperatures were in the mid 60s - unreasonably cold.

Harry and Betty had a exciting moment when driving on their way to Black Diamond they saw an elk by the road side.

When our kids were small it was always fun to get pumpkins and set them up on the table and help the kids start carving faces in them.

Now most just paint faces on the pumpkins instead of carving. Anyway, some helpful hints on how to pick good pumpkins for carving: Look for one that is a little misshapen. Inspect it for soft spots, especially the end opposite the stem and reject a pumpkin with soft spots which will cause it to deteriorate quickly. Remember, the pumpkin doesn’t have to sit on its base - that’s often its weakest spot.

A fat and happy pumpkin should have a fat and happy face. There are two reasons for hollowing: 1.

If the inside is going to be exposed through the mouth, it looks better if it is hollowed neatly. 2. If you plan to light the pumpkin from the inside, it must be hollow. You can hollow it out from a hole in the back instead of the top, so that the look of the face isn’t affected. If you’re illuminating with a candle, you need to hollow from the top to allow the heat and smoke to escape. Use a water-based marker to outline the face you want to carve.

For carving just use a paring knife or a steak knife. Start cutting your face in the pumpkin but if kids are doing the carving be careful with the knives.

Grandma’s recipe this week: Apple Pie in a Jar. With apples very plentiful this year, this recipe is nice to have handy in the winter when

you want to make a pie. 28 cups of sliced apples peeled and sliced, and filled in quart jars tightly. Make syrup of 4 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup corn starch, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 10 cups water. Cook syrup until thick and bubbly. Add 3 Tblsp lemon juice.

Pour over apples in jars. Process 20 minutes in boiling water bath.

My thoughts of the week: Saturday was a beautiful fall day and there was a large turnout for the Delhi annual Harvest festival. All came to check out the many vendors for what they had for sale and to buy the many local made products. So far we haven’t had a frost but my garden items are about done for the season. Saturday was such a nice day there were a large number of motorcycles going by, out for a nice ride through our area.

I’m told the Treadwell Church will be having its much loved turkey dinner on Saturday, Oct. 5. 4-7 p.m.

Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: A zookeeper found a new employee in front of the lion’s cage looking uneasy. “Didn’t I tell you,” the keeper asked, “that when a lion wags its tail, it’s friendly?” “Yes,” the employee said, “but he was roaring and wagging at the same time. I don’t know which end to believe.”

Senior Moments: A little boy was looking at his grandfather dozing in an easy chair. He turned to his grandmother and said: “Why does grandpa sleep so much?” The elderly woman looked down at her grandson and smiled. “The same reason you spend so much time playing outside.” “Because it’s fun?” the little boy asked. “No,” grandma replied, “to avoid doing chores.”

A cute saying: I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp

Here on the Farm the fellas are getting some more third cutting grass cut and baled and wrapped.

The corn is getting ready to be cut and the chopper is being prepared lots of new parts have been bought to make sure it keeps going to get the corn harvested and in the bunk in good time. So far, the weather looks to be good in this area without a lot of mud as it was last year.

The cows are due to be tested for milk production, butterfat, protein and other solids. We will receive the papers that tell us how they are doing the next week and which cows to be breed, dried off for calving and in the future month, calves to be born. Keep purchasing dairy products for use in cooking and baking. Let’s hope that the New York City legislation will think very hard not to keep chocolate milk out of the schools - children love to drink it and it would be a bad move

for the farmers. Keep farmers in your thoughts for a good harvest and watch for the trucks traveling the roads bringing the corn to the farm to be stored in the bunks.

Keep Safe everyone.

We were very sad to learn of the death of our good friend and fellow farmer Ed Frank this past week. Sympathy is extended to his wife Sandy, daughter Laurie and granddaughter Melissa. Ed enjoyed visiting with everyone and Harold and I especially enjoyed seeing him and Sandy at Eats and Treats and talking about farming and the cows and crops and old times on the farm. We all remarked how farming has changed over the years and the long hours in the barn and the fields. He surely will be missed by all who knew him.
