Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Present Sidney Memorial Veterans Park—a Hugh Success

Time Capsule Opening Held At Former Sidney Center Elementary School

On August 27th, Greater Maywood Rural Community Services, the non-profit group which currently owns the former Sidney Center Elementary School, held an event to remove the corner stones from the building. Embedded in the stones were time capsules with items placed by students and staff in 1954, the year the building was Dignitaries gather at the Sidney Elks Lodge for a dedication day photo — Pictured above from left to right, Exalted Ruler John Edwards; opened and 2002 when renovations were completed.

Con’t on pg. 5 According to Brigadier General James W. McIntyre, U. S. Air Force (Retired) and President of the Sidney Veterans Memorial Park Association (SVMPA); and, from all other accounts and every perspective, the new Sidney Veterans Memorial Park is a huge success for the community and “must see” attraction for area visitors.

Hailed as one of the most beautiful and thought-provoking veteran parks in the northeast, the Sidney Central School Alumni Association (SCSAA) and our membership played a major role in making it possible. Alumni member donations and a $10,000 matching grant from SCSAA totaling more than $40,000 essentially paid for the flag house entrance with its grand Sidney Alumni Memorial Wall and freestanding Alumni Veterans Monument (AVM). The Dedication Ceremony for the uniquely designed park which took place last Memorial Day weekend, exactly five years to the day after groundbreaking, attracted a crowd of well over 2,000 people and was covered by area newspapers and television stations. Two area retired teachers who have made visiting veteran memorials in Hawaii and the northeast one of their favorite pastimes, said of the park, “It is by far Continued on pg. 3

Alumni Room Open House! All are invited to attend an Open House and SCSAA board meeting, to be held Jan. 14, from 9 am to 1 pm in room 102, at the Pearl Street School. The Civic Center has been sold, which means the SCSAA Board of Directors was losing their room on the 3rd floor. Bill Christiansen, Superintendent of Sidney Schools offered a room for the board to use on the 1st floor of the Pearl Street School. To many of us older alumni, it is the former Pearl Street Elementary School and for the younger generation, you probably went to Junior High there. Continued on pg. 5

SCSAA Board of Directors Annual Election Terry Dermody, 1965

Wayne King, 1952

My name is Terry Dermody and I am seeking re-election to the posi– tion of Director of the SCS Alumni Association. I was born and raised in Sidney and I am a 1965 graduate of Sidney High School. I am proud to have served on the SCS Alumni Association Board for 15 years as director, and was president from 1998 to 2012. Together with other dedicated alumni, I have worked towards formalizing the goals and purposes of the association and building a strong foundation. With the support of the alumni community and the SCSAA Board of Directors, we have been able to direct the growth of the association into an active and meaningful organization. We advanced our purposes to create a link between alumni and the community, ignited the interest, and increased the visibility of the association.

I have served on the board of directors for several years and I am presently the treasurer of the board. I graduated from Sidney in 1952 and I currently serve as the class representative. Except for my college years, I have spent my entire life in the Sidney area. I was honored to be inducted into the Sidney Wall of Fame in 2012 and my 1951 football team was chosen as the legacy team for the Sports Hall of Fame a few years ago. I am proud to serve on the alumni board and if I am reelected I will work hard to maintain the proud heritage of the association. Thank you for your consideration.

My experience with the association has been enjoyable and rewarding. I have a fond affection for our hometown, and through the activities of the association we have been able to make a small contribution towards maintaining the vitality of the community. Considerable progress has been made, but there is much more to be accomplished. I consider it an honor and a privilege to continue to serve the association and pursue the vision. Thank you for your consideration.

Vicki Miller Kulze, 1970 I have been on the SCSAA Board of Directors for a few years now. I always valued the hard work of the association in putting on such amazing alumni weekends. That is why I chose to serve on this board. I felt that it was time that I gave back. Sidney alumni are so very fortunate to have this group. I am pleased that our association expands its activity beyond the July weekend, with the annual Sports Hall of Fame, our support of the digitization project of the local newspaper, holding future career days, our support of the Veterans Memorial Park, and with on-going scholarships. Our purpose is to tie SCSAA with the school and the community, and I feel we are being very progressive. I would like to continue to serve on the SCSAA Board of Directors for another 3-year term. Biographies continue on pg. 5….

Time Capsule Opening

Con’t…

Deborah Woytek Puffer, 1968 I have been a SCSAA Board Member since 2001 and corresponding secretary for most of that time. I really enjoy working with all the people on the board and helping to connect alumni from all over the country and bring them together during the annual alumni weekend. I think it is a great thing the board does to bring the people back to Sidney to meet up with old classmates, make new friends, and see how Sidney has changed. I would appreciate your vote so I may continue to serve our alumni, community and school.

Mike Sellitti, 2002 I am proud to be part of SCSAA and to support the many benefits this organization offers to the community and Sidney alumni. My hope as publicity director of the organization is to bring in new membership, especially younger alumni. I am actively helping to promote the association to current and potential members through social media and community outreach and events. SCSAA is very well organized and effective with alumni relations and the goals set forth, thanks to its team of dedicated and professional membership of directors and volunteers. After graduating from Sidney H.S. in 2002, I received a degree from Oswego State University in Mass Communications and Broadcasting. Following undergrad, I moved to New York City to work in film and television production. I then decided to move back to the area where I reside in Sidney Center. I currently operate my own business in the village of Sidney - offering photo and video services to small businesses and individuals. I am also on the Board of Directors for the Sidney Center Improvement Group, a non-profit dedicated to quality of life issues in and around the Hamlet of Sidney Center. I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the community.

Open House Con’t... We have officially moved. It is a much bigger space with a large storage closet for the multitude of alumni memorabilia. It is also on the first floor very close to the door, so we no longer have to walk three flights of stairs with all our event supplies… Hoorah!! We hope many of you will be able to stop by, take A look at our new facilities, and enjoy some refreshments. We will also be having a board meeting during that time, and you are welcome to sit in and witness your SCSAA Board Members at work. Thank you to all who have made this happen!

The moment the crowd was waiting for — Rolling out the 1954 time capsule is Gerry Byrnes (left); music provided by Jim Dorn (center), and standing far right is Chuck D’Imperio, Emcee.

The afternoon kicked off with a BBQ prepared by volunteers from the various Groups who helped organize the event. The time capsule opening ceremony was hosted by Chuck D'Imperio, assisted by students from 1954 and 2002. The 1954 capsule had become exposed to moisture and the contents did not hold up well to the test of time. In that capsule was a deteriorated school handbook. The 2002 capsule however, was very well sealed and contained various items including photos, dedications, and writings from each class. Other activities that took place included live music provided by the talented and timeless, Jim Dorn. There was also a big screen showing of the famed Rural Rhythm Show, which was a country music variety show that took place on the stage of the School for many years. Attendees also had the pleasure of browsing through many beautifully kept photographs, historical binders, yearbooks and more all related to the Sidney Center School and provided by the Maywood Historical Group. All items from the time capsules will be held at the Maywood Historical Depot Museum in Sidney Center and available to the public free of charge. The event was organized in partnership with the Sidney Center Improvement Group, Inc, the Maywood Historical Group of Sidney Center, Inc. and the Sidney Central School Alumni Association – all 501c3 nonprofit organizations. Several volunteers from each of the Group's helped by making food, setting up the gymnasium for the event and getting the corner stones ready to be revealed. It was a great showing of the community effort coming together for a good cause and preserving the historical significance of the school building for all who either attended or reside in the school district.

Sports Hall of Fame Induction Awards Dinner Sidney Warriors athletic history was celebrated in grand style during the 14th annual Sidney Alumni Sports Hall of Fame Induction Dinner and Ceremony held Saturday, October 1 at the Elks Lodge in Sidney. Several changes to the evening were implemented and a last-minute feature was added that evening. Once again, the decorations of Amber Wilson Fogarty '93 wowed the more than 160 attendees. This year, circular tables were put in use to increase family and friends interaction.

As has been customary, the inductees hand-picked their introductory speakers. Shaw's choice was teammate and 1964-65 wrestling captain Lonnie Warner '65. For Grey, it was his “little brother” Scott Scavo '95. DuMond's pick was a natural, as younger sister, and 2004 inductee Pam DuMond Tarnowski '92 did the honors repaying Dave for his similar duty upon her induction.

The Elks hosted another grand dinner buffet as the centerpiece of the event. Sports Hall of Fame chairman Greg Davie '76 was once again the evening's Master of Ceremonies. And for the second year, the invocation and benediction was delivered by Andy Doyle '96. Besides the room layout, changes included six inductees instead of the usual four, plus a Legacy team that still holds a school record. Individual inductees were: Claude Shaw '65, Jene Grey '75, David DuMond '88, Erica Peterson Espaillat '93, former coach and principal Gary Scavo and the “contributors award” inductees, former Booster Club co-presidents Dale and Nancy Sweet. The 21-0 Boys Basketball team from 1972-73, still the only unbeaten basketball team in the modern era, was honored as the 10th annual Legacy Team.

Pete Lynch and Gary Egli came to honor and represent their brothers, and former team members, Patrick Lynch and Ron Egli, who have passed away.

Pam stayed on to also introduce her field hockey and basketball teammate Espaillat, who was unable to attend the event. But thanks to technology, Erica recorded a beautiful video acceptance speech which was followed Covering the Legacy team helped segue into the next portion of the night's festivities. Representing the seniors of that Section IV Class A title team was Bob Davie '73, aided by that year's junior point guard Bernie Finnegan '74. The players, along with returning cheerleaders and coaches, received a full-size basketball as a keepsake of their honor. As Gary Scavo was the JV coach that season, it was fitting as he and wife Jackie stayed front and center following a glowing introduction by their son Jene Grey. Then Jeff Sweet '90 entertained the audience with his introduction of his parents Dale and Nancy. Tons of memories and lots of laughs dominated the night and, as usual, it was hard for all to say good bye once the ceremony concluded. Many photos and conversations kept most of the crowd at the Elks for quite some time, confirming the night's success.

There was no charity auction for the first time, since extra inductees meant a longer program. Still, with tremendous support and sponsorships, proceeds will still be applied toward the long-range project to install permanent plaques of Bernie Finnegan ‘74, right, with all Hall of Fame inductees since its his mother, Vi,and brother Jim. 2003 inception at the high school. Originally, the induction was held Thanksgiving weekend. By 2007, the Sports Hall of Fame added a Friday night segment to create Induction Weekend. This year, many of the participants were at the Homecoming football game versus Greene, where they were introduced at halftime in front of the home crowd. An alumni reception was held after the game at the VFW.

All were amazed at the changes in the school including the new gymnasium, swimming pool and all of the technological advances that have taken place.

The tour ended with a reception in the cafeteria where cake, punch and ice cream were served to all by members of the entire D'Imperio family, who also are alumni from Sidney High School. A special tip of the hat goes to Nick Meno (SHS 2015) who accompanied the D'Imperio brothers on the tour. He gave a new, fresh face to the tour and was invaluable in guiding everybody along. The most priceless moment of the tour came when we visited the new gymnasium. Jean McIntyre (Siwicki), Class of 1966, asked young Nick Meno if they ever had sock hops in the old gym anymore? Meno's response: "What's a sock hop?" The Alumni Weekend High School Walking Tour was a smashing success!

SPECIAL NOTICE TO ALUMNI AND CLASS REPRESENTATIVES The Class Roster and Class Rep list are essential to ensure communications about the Alumni Association reach you. The SCSAA has a class roster on the website, www.sidneyalumni.org, that contains the names of all Sidney alumni. Your contact information is only as current as your membership. When you join or renew and send your contact information, it is entered in the roster unless you indicate you do not want it posted. The future of Reflections depends on alumni maintaining their official membership. The list of Class Representatives has been updated and revised. Please check the list to make sure your contact information is correct. Is your class in need of a Class Rep? Would you like to volunteer? Submit your name and contact information to: update@sidneyalumni.org Be sure to write “New Class Rep” on the form. The Membership Form is on pg. 21, and on the website. Membership cost is $15/year; 10/year (for seniors 65 & over), due by July 31, 2017.
