Properties headed to auction

By Stephen Borgna Steuben Courier

Approximately 100 delinquent tax properties throughout Steuben County will go up for auction at the Steuben County Real Property Tax Auction at 10 a.m. July 12 at Campbell-Savona High School.

The properties range from houses to former businesses to

vacant lots. The county said in several cases, the vacant lots will be sold with the neighboring building.

There are multiple properties listed within the City and Town of Corning and the Village of Riverside. Several are also available in Addison, Savona, and the Town and Village of Bath.

“Some properties are in pretty good shape. Some need work,

and there’s vacant lots. And there’s some that could probably be torn down,” said Steuben County Finance Commissioner Patrick Donnelly.

Donnelly said three of the properties currently have open cases with the Department of Environmental Conservation for ongoing cleanups such as air filtering cleanup or water monitoring on the site. One property re-

cently had an open case, but that case has since been closed. The three properties with open DEC cases are 7324 State Route 54 in Bath, the former Stanbury Gas Station; 511 E. High St. in Riverside, the former Briggs Auto building; and 175 Seneca St. in Hornell, a former gas station and now a vacant lot.

Country life on the Canisteo River

STEUBEN COURIER

Senior Farmers’ Market coupons available soon Submitted

SUBMITTED/JANIE FERGUSON

Reader Janie Ferguson snapped these recent photos, stating “Sunny summer days on the Canisteo River with our grandchildren bring us many different views here in Cameron Mills on the lovely Canisteo River. Yesterday was a busy day here, as there were kayakers, bridge cleaning, and a young man going by on his tractor pulling a cart with his dog in it, and and an American flag waving in the air as he went slowly down the road towards the Cole’s Farm. Just wanted to share some of our enjoyable country living with you, as days go by here.” Ferguson also captured this photo of a Great Blue Heron on the Canisteo River.

Russell named Rotary Club President Content submitted BATH – The Bath Rotary Club held its Annual Changeover Dinner on June 27 at the Wildflower Hills Community Center.

During the dinner Jane Russell was installed as the 2019-2020 Bath Rotary Club President by Mike Slovak, Bath Rotarian and 2018-2019 Rotary District 7120 Governor, officials said. She will be joined by several following officers, directors, and chairs in leading the local service club.

“It has been an amazing year serving as club president,” said Carol Berry, 2018-19 Bath Rotary Club President. “I learned so much from all of you and appreciate my Rotary membership more than I can say.

I hope that you have enjoyed the wonderful programs that our monthly coordinators have provided, the social events with other clubs, and the many opportunities to meet new people and gain new friends but most of all to live our motto, ‘Service Above Self,’ through the many activities and projects in which we participated.”

Officials said one of the highlights of the evening was the bestowing of a Paul Harris Fellow Award to John Gould. This award is the most prestigious award given by Rotary and is based on a generous donation to Rotary International in the name of the recipient.

Harris was one of the founders of Rotary and was very involved in the development of the organization which grew from a single club in Chicago in 1905 into today’s global organization. The award was established in his memory.

Gould, a first-time recipient, received a Paul Harris Fellow Certificate of Service, pin, and medallion hanging from a ribbon lanyard, officials said.

He was especially cited for serving as one of the club’s representatives to the Camp Star Board of Directors and working closely with President Berry on the revision of the club’s bylaws and the development of a program aimed at providing information for the mentoring of new members.

Gould joins 26 other Bath Rotarians who have received a Paul Harris Fellow Award or multiple Paul Harris Fellow Awards.

Berry proudly presented plaques to those local Rotarians who had strived throughout the year to achieve the ideal of humanitarian service and high ethical standards under the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”

The Bath Rotary Club, chartered March 16, 1923, meets at 12 p.m. every Thursday in the Empire Room of the Dormann Library. Anyone interested in joining should contact Jane Russell, President, at cateringjane@empacc.net.

Recognition Awards were presented to the following at the Bath Rotary Club’s Changeover Dinner. Seated from left are Bill White, Jo Slovak, Larry Bates, Al Johnson, and Grace Snyder. Standing from left are: Maureen Johnson, Steve Sheehan, Nancy Stewart, Dave Stewart, and Cheryl Muller.

Savona man wins car at Tops The Spectator

BATH — A Savona resident became the next lucky big winner in Tops Monopoly Collect and Win. John Paul Zisk is the ninth winner of a brand new car in the series with other winners spread throughout the chains footprint. John is a frequent shopper at the Tops located at 309 West Morris Street, Bath, and didn’t realize at first that he was holding the keys to such a big prize.

“When I got the tickets I didn’t open them right away so it wasn’t until a few days later that I realized I had won,” John told Tops officials. John said they had played Monopoly in the past but have never won anything like this before. “You can bet I’ll be playing from now on!”

John was surrounded by his family as he celebrated at the store with the Tops team.

Tops has also presented eight other lucky recipients with a brand new car through Tops Monopoly Rip It and Win It game. Recipients are scattered across the chains footprint: Oneida, Syracuse, Watertown, Cazenovia, Camillus, Bath, and Niagara Falls.

In Buffalo, there were two winners, with one recipient paying it forward and gifting her car to a friend.

Two lucky winners, one in Erie, Pa., and another in Chili have also walked away $10,000 richer just from playing Tops Monopoly Rip It and Win It. Over 557,000 instant winners have already won in Tops Rip It and Win It Game and over 23,400 have won by playing online.

ALBANY — The HEAP Cooling Assistance benefit opened May 1.

If you are eligible, you may receive one Cooling Assistance benefit per applicant household for the purchase and installation of an air conditioner or a fan to help your home stay cool.

In circumstances where an air conditioner cannot be safely installed, a fan will be provided.

Only one air conditioner or fan, not to exceed $800 with installation, will be provided per applicant household. No additional HEAP cash benefits are available.

You may be eligible for a Cooling Assistance HEAP benefit if: Your household’s gross monthly income is at or below the current income guidelines for your household size; you receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits; or you receive Temporary Assistance (TA); or you receive Code A Supplemental Security Income (SSI Living Alone); and you and your household members are United States Citizens or qualified aliens; and includes an individual with a documented medical condition that is exacerbated by heat; and you received a regular benefit greater than $21 in the current program year; and you currently do not have a working air conditioner or the air conditioner you have is five years old or older; and you did not receive a HEAP funded air conditioner within the past ten years.

Your household eligibility requirements include filing an application with your local department of social services, providing all necessary documentation, and the household must reside in an eligible living situation.

Farmers get more time to report The Spectator

SYRACUSE — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is extending the prevented plant crop reporting deadline for New York producers affected by spring flooding and excessive moisture.

Producers in New York now have until July 15, to report acres they intended to plant this spring but could not due to weather conditions. The new deadline coincides with the July 15, FSA crop acreage reporting deadline that is already in place.

“Producers need to report prevented plant acres to retain eligibility for FSA program benefits,” Clark Putman, New York State Executive Director said. “In many areas of the state, excessive moisture has made it challenging for producers to get into their fields to plant and this deadline extension provides reporting flexibility.”

Normally, the prevented plant reporting deadline is 15 calendar days after the final planting date for a crop as established by FSA and the Risk Management Agency (RMA). The prevented plant reporting deadline extension to July 15 only applies to FSA and does not change any RMA crop insurance reporting deadline requirements.

However, the extension does not apply to crops covered by FSA’s Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). Producers should check with their local FSA office regarding prevented plant provisions for NAP covered crops.

Producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office as soon as possible to make an appointment to report prevented plant acres and submit their spring crop acreage report. To locate your local FSA office, visit farmers.gov/service-locator.

For information regarding RMA crop insurance, contact your Approved Insurance Provider. To find your provider, visit rma.usda.gov/information-tools/ agent-locator-page.

Making a living as an outlaw

By Chandra Bozelko More Content Now

When people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them the truth: I’m an outlaw. No, I’m not on the lam from police.

An outlaw is someone who’s “excluded from the benefit or protection of the law.”

That’s how I feel after what I’ve experienced.

I served more than six years in maximum security prison in Connecticut. I was sentenced for non-violent crimes that remain on appeal. I’ve been home from prison for over five years and I’ve learned how little the law benefits or protects any of us. That’s right.

You’re an outlaw, too.

While I sweated out whether my convictions would be overturned, I became the first incarcerated person to have a regular column in a publication outside of the facility. The column, called Prison Diaries, ran in The New Haven Independent.

And then it got canceled. That’s probably not the best advertisement for someone who’s trying to become a regular part of your news diet, but the reason why it was canned is important. I touched too many nerves writing about how security personnel have an affinity for sex workers. That is, I wrote about how the prison guards knew the women in the facility who were convicted of prostitution.

And they knew them too well, if you catch what I’m saying.

When I got out of prison, I released one of each of my unpublished Prison Diaries columns every week as a blog.

I write outside of Prison Diaries as well. And much of what I say riles up people of all political persuasions. I criticized

SUNDAY, JULY 7, 2019 • STEUBEN COURIER

Harvey Weinstein’s perp walk, which upset the #MeToo movement. I defend prison labor which has caused people to accuse me of supporting slavery (I don’t - that’s actually why I support prison labor). While I am not a Trump supporter, I’ve called out the press for attacking the president for hiring and befriending an ex-offender.

I did time. I’m not scared of any conflict.

Justice stories and issues abound in the news.

Often, there’s more guilt in a criminal courtroom than just that levied against the defendant.

How do we respond to what we think a person has done? Jail time?

Treatment? Letting it go? What does that person need to do to be redeemed? And, perhaps most importantly, how do we do assure that redemption happens and the law protects all of us?

I’ll wager that many people reading this have wondered about these issues themselves; one in two of you have an immediate family member who was or is incarcerated. And I bet that many of you have been victims of crime. No matter which camp you fall into – maybe both – you probably have some stories and feelings about how the law has failed to protect you.

The sooner we realize we’re all in this together, the better the law will protect us.

Not sure I can ‘like’ this idea, Facebook

By Celia Rivenbark More Content Now

Are y’all as excited as I am to learn that Facebook is getting into the global banking business?

I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Hmmmm. Is this the same Facebook that let hundreds of Russian trolls come on in and sit a spell, wreaking havoc with our elections? Yep. Baby steps, Zuckerberg. You’re barely out of the witness chair. Is this really the time to launch “Libra,” a digital currency gizmo with an admittedly cool, spy-novel name?

And let me get this straight. Does this mean I now must explain the phrase “digital currency” to Aunt Verlie? Because even after eight years of personal coaching, she has difficulty updating her status (“Prayers for my hemmorhoidectomy”) and sharing

pictures of her lunch at the Gardens of Despair Nursing Home (Where there is no “I” in caring; OK, yeah there is, but you get where we’re going with this.)

This seems like fertile ground for scammers. To those two or three of you who feel guilty for hanging up on telemarketers, Libra may be just right for you!

Why can’t Facebook be content with its monopoly on sharing news of friends and family, shaming deadbeat dads and posting horrific pictures of your gross compound fracture–taken in the ER, no less?

I love Facebook, truly I do. But trust it with my banking? That’s a hard pass. I’ve only recently decided Venmo was OK, although I’ve been very careful to monitor my privacy settings and some of y’all should, too.

For instance, how am I

supposed to un-see John Q.’s payment to Sarah Z. for a string of emojis that included an eggplant, a medical cross, safety glasses and a heart?

What on earth does that mean and how will I ever get back the hour it took for me to ponder it?

It’s entirely possible these words will be read back to me one day between guffaws of laughter from the young folk as I eat stewed prunes and little else. Will I be compared to the skeptics of the ’90s who were positive the internet would eat our brains?

Facebook claims Libra will be a quick and secure (ha!) way to pay bills in a foreign country for cheap. Who really has a big problem with that?

It’s not like most of us have outstanding parking tickets in Lisbon.

Others say this currency revolution makes crazy sense for Facebook

because it comes to the table with 2 billion - yes, with a “b” - customers. In the words of one 22-yearold Bay Area overnight zillionaire: “Bruh, it’s gonna slay.” Or so I imagine.

Facebook promises to keep data about financial transactions separate from its data about social networks so Libra information would never be used to target ads on Facebook or Instagram.

Maybe. But I bet my feed has ads for prunes and parking ticket lawyers when this posts.

Facebook, you’re insatiable. You need to keep a gratitude journal.

Sometimes, cheering up people on their birthdays is really enough.

Combo good for legs, core

By Marlo Alleva

On your way back to the top of the move, shift your weight to one leg, lifting the opposite leg into a quick popping kick. Imagine flicking your shoelaces. Then steadily return your kicking leg back into your squat position with both feet on the floor.

Continue on into another squatting position, following with the opposite leg kicking out in front of you.

Keep this combination going for at least 8 to 10 times on each side for a full set. Take a small break in between, then proceed on with at least two or three more sets.

This exercise is great for all levels, as you can make it more difficult by kicking higher and squatting lower, or simplifying it by holding on to a broomstick for balance, keeping your squat shallow, and your kicks slightly lower.

Sundresses, board shorts, shorty-shorts, and capris — all are choice summer attire.

And, of course, the right accessories will make the look complete.

You may think I’m talking a cute top or sandals, but the best accent to our summer apparel are great legs. And the quickest way to target them are squats.

Our move today is a squat kick combo. All you need is a flat surface, and room for kicking.

This exercise will be working your quads, your hamstrings, calves, glutes and even your core.

Begin this movement by placing your feet just outside your hip width.

Engaging your core and holding your chest tall you are ready to start sitting into your

MCN

squat.Proceed to bend in your knees pushing your rear end back, keeping your knees behind your toes. Holding your chest tall, and tightening the

core will help with your balance. Once you reach your lowest position in your squat, slowly return back up to a standing position.

increasing price transparency, and growing competition.

Members of the Problem Solvers Caucus and Senators Collins and Manchin also highlighted different pieces of bipartisan legislation representative of efforts to lower drug costs around the country, but aren’t formally endorsed by the Caucus.

“Many Americans face exorbitant costs at the pharmacy counter and deserve to know why they are paying more for their medication and be given more options for prescription drugs to ease the pain on their pocketbooks,” said Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Tom Reed. “The people we represent and care about want Washington to work together, and the Problem Solvers Caucus is proud to lead by example to push for lower drug prices for hard working people.”

The principles supported by the members of the Problem Solvers Caucus include greater transparency, competition, and affordability in the U.S. prescription drug market; support for research and development of drugs that could bring prices down; and more information for consumers about how and why drug companies charge what they do for medications.

With the release of these principles, the 23 Democrats and 23 Republicans of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus agreed to support ongoing legislative efforts to address the country’s constantly rising prescription drug prices.

Road in the Town of Erwin, when he was shot by a suicidal man.

On Tuesday, Clark’s State Police colleagues honored his memory by standing guard at his grave. His locker and gear cubby also remain unused for anything other than a memorial.

An outpouring of support, remembering Trooper Clark, were posted to social media by law enforcement, members of the community and by those who simply respected the way Clark conducted himself in life.

Trooper Clark graduated from the 203rd session of the Basic School on Sept. 3, 2015. He was initially assigned to Troop C in Sydney, and was later assigned to Troop E’s Bath barracks in August 2017.

Prior to his service, he was a member of Canisteo-Greenwood Central School’s Class of 2007, a graduate of Alfred University’s Class of 2011, and resided in Troupsburg. He left behind his parents, Theresa Gunn and Anthony Clark, as well as a brother.

Since that day one year ago, Clark has been remembered as a leader in all phases of his life. His name was added to the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial on May 13, during a candle-light vigil ceremony in Washing D.C., coinciding with National Law Enforcement Week.

The week prior, his name was added to the State of New York Police Officer’s Memorial in Albany.

At home, the Canisteo native is also being held up as an example for fu-

LANDFILL Continued from 1A of people living in proximity to the landfill and environmental activists. The majority of them were opposed for reasons they’ve stated at hearings in the past, such as the smell, possible further depreciation of their property values, and the trucks that haul construction and demolition (C& D) waste up Erwin Hollow Road, which has been the site of several truck accidents in years past where waste was dumped into

the adjacent creek.

There were also concerns that the landfill contains heightened background levels of radioactive elements such as lead-214, bismuth 214 and radium.

Many argued that further testing is needed before a project can move forward.

“At the end of the day, there’s health concerns, my dad built [our] house for our family and future generations with his bare hands, and it’s in jeopardy,” said resident Brian Guilfoyle, who said he lives one mile from the landfill. “I’m just

On May 17, a permanent monument with Clark’s image was unveiled at the annual Steuben County Law Enforcement Memorial Service, hosted by the Sheriff ’s Department.

“He was always the go to guy, who took care of others. He inspired others to try their hardest, to be the best they could be no matter what challenges or hurdles they faced along the way ...

Nick had unlimited potential, and he chose a life of service to his commu-

scared, and that’s why I came out here today, to let you know that the science can show one side of it… but this is really affecting people’s daily lives and affecting their future.”

Corning resident Jean Wosinski compared the presence of the landfill to cancer.

“The dump site is a cancer on the landscape,” she said.

“And what do you do about cancer? Well you identify, you contain, and you remedy, maybe even terminate. You sure as hell don’t expand.”

Several activists stated the presence of the radioactive

The people of New York were fortunate that a person of Nick’s caliber was out there protecting them,” New York State Police Captain George DelNegro said at the time.

Last September, the Village of Canisteo unanimously agreed to dedicated the former Patriot Park in the center of the village to the memory of Trooper Clark. A three day period around Clark’s Sept. 18 birthday will also be noted with blue lights lighting up public places to honor his law enforcement service.

In February, a memorial wrestling tournament was held by the Canisteo Wrestling Club to honor the twotime state champion grappler and his love of passing knowledge of the sport to area youth.

Clark’s Alma Mater, Alfred University, where he was an All-American football star, has also taken steps to honor his memory. In the days that followed his tragic death, the University held his memorial service. At the University’s opening football game in 2018, the school created a memorial scholarship fund in his name, reserved his number 32 for a student-athlete specially chosen, and the team will wear a helmet decal bearing his number in perpetuity.

The latest act memorializing Clark’s name in local history was announced last week, when local legislators revealed that a bridge carrying Interstate 86 in Bath would bear his name. That section of the highway is located less than a half mile north of the State Police Barracks (Troop E, Zone 3) in Bath, where Clark was stationed at the time of his death.

elements could come from the presence of drill cuttings derived from fracking waste from Pennsylvania. Casella Waste Systems Vice President of Landfill Marketing and Business Development Larry Shilling said the Hakes C& D Landfill doesn’t take cuttings from the Marcellus Shale, which he said rules out that argument.

He also said the elements that are being cited, such as radium, exist in non-harmful background concentrations in many different places, from the landfill to one’s backyard.

“The truth is, it’s everywhere,” he said. “So the fact that radium is in everything shouldn’t be a surprise. They’re just a little off base with what the facts are.”

He said concentrations of these elements haven’t been detected in hazardous amounts in the landfill. If they were, he said, Casella Waste Systems would be obligated to take corrective action.

“It’s in our best interest to make sure we’re doing the right thing,” said Shilling.

HAVERLING

Continued from 1A ever at Haverling,” he said. “We discussed this morning the thought that they were very selfless, that all of their accomplishments were done in humility.”

As they move on with their future endeavors, whether it be college, the workforce or the military, Rumsey’s message to his former students was to never forget where they came from and to carry their Bath foundation with them wherever they go.

“It’s my wish that they never forget their roots in Haverling, the foundations their moms and dads and families provided, but at the same time, also everything that happened at Haverling will impact their lives forever,” said Rumsey.

The Haverling Class of 2019 was led by valedictorian Bethany Smith and salutatorian Calen Holmes.

Smith began her commencement speech by thanking the many family and friends who helped the Class of 2019 along their journey.

“I want to thank everyone for coming and for everything you’ve done to help each of us get here,” said Smith. “We could not have done it without the support of our family and friends.”

She then began to reflect on her and her classmate’s academic experiences over the years, particularly the lessons school taught them outside of their usual studies.

“Beyond the equations, textbooks and essays are far more important lessons, ones we’ll carry forever,” she said.

One of them was friendship.

“Whenever we are in trouble or feeling down, there was one thing that could brighten our days: our friends,” said Smith. “The importance of friendship is one of the best things high school taught us.”

Holmes took a moment to thank all of the teachers and staff of the Bath Central School District for preparing the Class of 2019 since they first began attending school all those years ago.

“To the educators here at Haverling High School, Dana Lyon Middle School, and Vernon E. Wightman Primary School, I’d like to thank you for preparing me and my classmates for what lies ahead,” said Holmes.

Altogether, the Haverling High School Class of 2019 received dozens of awards and scholarships totaling approximately $65,000.

WHAT’S UP at MOSSY BANK PARK July 7, 2019 – In many ways this early summer has been rather unique.

Compared to many early summers the temperatures have been cooler.

Similar to last summer there has been abundant rainfall (over 4 ½ inches this June in my rain gauge). There have been striking differences in some of the flora and fauna. In a previous article I commented on the delay of flowering in some forest floor plants. Overall, flowering still seems delayed or depressed among many common native herbaceous plants.

But the alien herb, Valerian (Valeriana officionalis), seems to be flourishing, almost appearing like an agricultural crop along some roadsides.

At Mossy Bank Park, it seemed every one of the small, woody, native shrubs, Maple-leaved Viburnum (Viburnium acerifolium), bloomed prolifically, more than I have ever seen. Butterflies and odes (damselflies and dragonflies) are decidedly scarcer, possibly delayed in their emergence. This may be true of other insects as well, as there seems to be fewer birds nesting in the park this year. It has been a while since we had a cool and wet early summer, so maybe that is the reason for these observed differences. And then there are the American Sycamores (Plantanus occidentalis).

Going up to Mossy Bank Park from the Village of Bath, one crosses over the Cameron St. Bridge then up County Rte. 10, the Cameron Road. On the west bank of the Conhocton River, just over that bridge on the upstream side, stands a magnificent American Sycamore. Anyone who has crossed the bridge has seen this big tree. It is such a majestic specimen that some landscape artist really should paint it. Like every American Sycamore, the tree’s trunk is mottled, bark flaking off in large platelike patches. This tree’s limbs spread gracefully from a stout trunk in a wide symmetry, bending in interesting ways. In most years, this American Sycamore would be well leafed-out by now.

Instead the leaves are very sparse, although a few leafy clumps are evident near the top. This same pattern is evident in many of the American Sycamores around the area this year. What is happening?

The short answer is these sycamore leaves are affected by a pathogenic fungus, Sycamore Anthracnose (Apignomonia veneta). As with many tree diseases, this fungus was introduced to North

OAK DUKE

A doe leads her spotted fawn in early June. This large fawn was conceived during the early rut peak last fall, around Halloween.

D. Randy Weidner America on an ornamental species more resistant to the fungus than our American Sycamore.

While the fungus does effect American Sycamore severely enough to result in up to 90% leaf loss in a given year, the trees usually survive, weakened somewhat, losing partially brown and crinkled leaves, twigs, and a few terminal limbs. But there is an interesting aspect to the formation of leaves in sycamores that both sets up this tree for, and possibly offers its salvation from, this fungus. Sycamores set sticky buds that ultimately become leaves in the petiole (leaf stem) junction during the fall of the year, before dropping that year’s leaves. If the weather at the time is cool and wet, like last year, there will be abundant fungal spores in the air, blown around by wind, landing on these next year’s leaf buds, infecting them. So this spring, those leaves did not develop at all, or if they did, they developed abnormally. The thicker leafy bunches referred to above near the top of the tree are a reflection of this abnormal growth, a condition known as a ‘witch’s broom’. But this fall, the American Sycamores will again form new leaf buds. If it is warmer and drier, the fungus’ attack will not be as severe, and the tree will regain strength.

American Sycamore, also known as American Planetree or Buttonwood, range from New York to Georgia, and Texas to Massachusetts. They are big trees for Eastern North America, reaching 130 feet in height and over 6 feet in diameter. They often develop hollow trunks, and in 1774 in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, a man and his two sons lived inside a huge, hollow sycamore.

Sycamores must have withstood many insults over the years to grow to their great size, and it appears they will withstand the attacks of anthracnose.

American Chestnuts and American Elms were devastated by a foreign fungus. White Ash is lost to an alien beetle, and Eastern Hemlock is under severe insect attack by an alien adelgid. Let us hope for something more for our sycamore, that is: it be sick no more.

Whitetail fawns flood the market

By Oak Duke Spotted whitetail fawns hit the ground in the Northeast in May or June and can show up anyplace where their mom feels it’s safe to secret them away.

A fawn’s hideout may be in the deep woods or in a brushy lot on the side of town, but it can just as likely be in the middle of a farmer’s field or even the neighbor’s back lawn.

For the first two weeks of a fawn’s life the little deer rarely move, gaining strength and size in order to run from predators.

So if we see a fawn on the move, it is usually a few weeks old. And by that time has the ability to flee from most dangerous situations that approach on four feet.

Each fawn has it’s own spot pattern and no two are exactly the same.

Interestingly, the mother whitetail does not allow the fawn to defecate in its bed and thereby attract the fawn’s two top predators, the black bear and the coyote. Instead, the doe actually stimulates the fawn to defecate by licking it and then consumes the fecal material keeping the little deer virtually scent free.

At birth, whitetail fawns vary from four to ten pounds, with buck fawns usually weighing slightly more than their sisters. Little bumps on

the buck fawns head will grow into antlers after its first year.

Recent DNA research on whitetails has dispelled the belief the same father sires both twins all the time. In fact, up to 25% of them have different fathers.

During the whitetail rut or breeding season, which spans the months of October, November, and December here in the Northeast and Midwest (southern states have even later rutting dates,) deer form breeding parties, which I have termed the Whitetail Breeding Nucleus where subdominate bucks find a way to actively participate too.

So on any hunting property or woodlot, spike or fork horn bucks sire fawns just as often as the big dominate eight or ten pointer does.

Though fawns may differ greatly in size at birth (one fawn can be twice the size of another,) the gestation period of a whitetail is always about 200 days, give or take a couple.

Like other animals and humans, the gestation period or time which the doe carries the fawn since the conception date varies slightly depending on the mother’s stress level, diet, and hormonal milieu.

If everything is normal, the fawns hit the ground after 200 days.

So if a doe is bred during late October, around Halloween (which was the timing of the first major rut peak in the last two years of 2017 and 2018) we saw fawns during the middle of gobbler season in May. Our trail cameras have shown us these last two years that a new crop of fawns were also born in June. These latter little whitetails were conceived during the later rut peak in mid-November.

Often does that are not bred in the first go around will come back into estrus 27 days later in what has been called the second rut peak.

This year, 2019, we should see a more normal rut in the fall with most of the does being bred in early to mid-November resulting in next year’s fawn-drop to be around Memorial Day. So we may observe a large fawn with a doe one day, and then on the next day, in the same field, notice a couple tiny fawns with their mother, another doe. Each doe was bred during the prior fall at different times, a month apart.

Usually, younger female whitetails produce one fawn. Older does often have twin fawns, and rarely triplets. But each fawn can have a different father.

Rarely do does have four fawns. Barren does, those which did not have

a fawn, are quite common even though a surprisingly large percentage of doe fawns (those born in the previous May or June) participate in their first rut when they are just six or seven months old.

These young doe fawns that conceive fawns themselves (usually in early December) have a tough time during a hard winter here in the Northeast and Midwest as they have little body fat to spare for themselves, let alone nourishment for a growing fetus.

And if the fawn does reach parturition, the little fawn born is late and has a difficult time making it through the next winter.

For the most part though, whitetails have their birthing timed just right. With October and November breeding, deer are born just as the temperatures are warming in May and June, along with lush foliage for the doe and fawn to chow down on.

In a way, by the little fawns hitting the ground at the same time, they in effect, flood the market.

Hungry predators are overwhelmed.

Though some babies are eaten by bears and coyotes, most fawns survive because there are so many of them the varmints can’t get them all.

State Senate offers reading program Submitted

STEUBEN COURIER

Steuben Public Works adds AEDs to shops

In total, SONIC donated $1.2 million matching donations made to SONIC Teacher projects in May. As a result, SONIC rewarded one entrepreneurial teacher lead project at one school in the Campbell community: Trisha Daningburg at Campbell-Savona Junior Senior High School for the project “Hands on Learning”.

Teachers can become SONIC Teachers and submit projects through nonprofit partner DonorsChoose.org for a chance to receive funding.

BATH – Megan Williams, Direct Support Professional, was named Associate of the Month for June. Williams was nominated

by Rebecca Miller, Residence Manager, and Bona Elliott, Residence Manager, for her dedication and commitment to The Arc of Steuben.

Recently, Williams went above and beyond her normal responsibilities.

Along with her job with the agency, Williams volunteers for the Bath Ambulance Company on the weekends.

One weekend, an ambulance was dispatched to an Arc of Steuben residence, and the associate working that evening had to leave with the ambulance. Fortunately, Williams was part of the crew that responded to the call, and knowing the house needed coverage, she ended her volunteering service early and clocked in to work at the site.

“We believe these actions show Meghan’s dedication and commitment to this agency and the people we support and are a perfect example of going above and beyond” said Miller and Elliott.

ELMIRA – Senator Tom O’Mara (R,C,I-Big Flats) reminded the region’s young readers that he is sponsoring an online summer reading program promoted by the New York State Senate in partnership with the New York State Library and public libraries across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions.

“I’m especially glad to join so many local public libraries and other groups and organizations to encourage summer reading,” said O’Mara. “The Senate’s online summer reading program offers a convenient opportunity for students and their parents to enjoy the benefits and the rewards of summer reading together. Our region is incredibly fortunate to have such an outstanding network of public libraries providing access to books and other reading activities, materials and opportunities.”

To participate in the Senate’s online program, students and parents can visit O’Mara’s Senate website, www.omara.nysenate.gov, and click on the “Summer Reading Program-A Universe of Stories” logo near the top of the home page. Among other features, the site includes a recording journal, opportunities to share books with other family members and friends, and a series of popular summer reading lists. At the end of the program, participants will receive formal recognition from O’Mara for their reading achievement.

Numerous studies have shown that children who engage in summer reading make greater academic gains than children who do not.

According to New York State Library officials, last year’s summer reading program featured the participation nearly 2 million young people statewide.

BATH – The Steuben County Public Works outbuildings now have an added safety feature, with the recent installation of 18 Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in locations across the county.

AEDs are used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. An easy-to-use medical device, AEDs can analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

County Assistant Commissioner Steve Orcutt said Public Works Motor Equipment Operator Chris Cermak suggested the installations as a way to provide additional safety in the event of an emergency. Cermak also is a vol-

unteer EMT with the Hammondsport Ambulance Service.

“Chris is a certified AED, CPR and First Aid instructor and does all the training at all of the shops,” Orcutt said.

“He deserves all the credit, and it’s a great idea.”

Cermak’s efforts lead to results beyond the county shops, Orcutt said.

“A DPW operator recently saved a neighbor’s life using the CPR that Chris taught him,” Orcutt said.
