One of a kind engine Reader Janie Ferguson submitted this photo and information of a special engine called Engine 1060, taken in 1976 in Addison. It was assembled in Hornell and used in Gang Mills. The photo was sent to Ferguson from the engineer’s daughter, Cherlyn Davis. Ferguson and Davis are seeking the public’s help finding additional information on the locomotive and the identity of the person that took the original photo. The photo was taken by a boy from Cleveland, Ohio, in April 1976. Ferguson states, “We are trying to find out who he is. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.” The photo was donated by Davis. Davis said, “I am Pauline Root’s daughter, Cherlyn Davis. I came across this photograph of a special engine assembled in Hornell and used in Gang Mills. My dad was the
engineer and he had a note on the back of the photo of the crew. I am still doing research online, but I find this is a famous locomotive. And they were looking for live photographs as most are archived photos.” The description on the back of the original photo reads: Engine 1060 – 1976, Addison – EMD Pass diesel engine with Alco.

SHAWN VARGO | FROM THE EDITOR
Harvesting a Rules for Letters to the Editor NY-grown future
Now that our calendars have turned to autumn, we can use the start of a new season to turn attention to one of New York government’s constant responsibilities: working to maintain agriculture as a foundation of this state’s culture and economy. I’ve said it many, many times, but it’s never a tired refrain: This state – and our own Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions – will only be as strong as our farmers and the dynamic industry they sustain. We can and do take great pride in a nationally renowned lineup of agricultural products. But we can never take it for granted. We have to keep taking steps to help keep farmers competitive for the next generation. That was the overriding goal of last week’s first meeting of the state’s newly established “Industrial Hemp Working Group” (a group created, by the way, as the result of a new law I sponsored this year). I’m grateful to be a member of the group, which is working to secure an economic foothold for state farmers in the nation’s burgeoning industrial hemp industry. Hemp products generated nearly $600 million in U.S. sales in 2015 and we believe it could ultimately a $1-billion-a-year industry right here in New York. New state laws and policies, and ongoing state investments, have continued to strengthen the foundation we’ve built over the past several years to place New York farmers and agribusinesses at the industry’s forefront. State investments are assisting the planting of industrial hemp on nearly 2,000 acres for research purposes, expanding industrial hemp production in New York nearly 6,000% from 30 acres in 2016. In short, we are moving forward to ensure that the development and growth of the industrial hemp industry will provide valuable new economic opportunities and a competitive edge for farmers and agribusinesses, generate revenue, and create jobs. One step we all can take is to get out and about this fall when local farmers’ markets are overflowing with high quality, New York-grown offerings. The state Department of Ag and Markets offers an online, interactive map to help locate one near you: http://www.agmkt.state. ny.us/AP/Community FarmersMarkets.asp. According to the New York Apple Association [www.nyapplecountry. com, a website providing a comprehensive list of area orchards and other apple-related retailers], this year’s crop harvest forecast is for 28 million cartons, or 1.1 billion pounds. Of course it’s always an active time across Fin-
The 2017 election season is in full swing and The Steuben Courier Advocate wants to hear from our readers. We will print Letters to the Editor on upcoming Opinion Pages - but we request that the following rules be followed: • Letters must be less than 300 words.

ger Lakes wine country, with the grape harvest underway and celebrated with numerous festivals and events (stay updated on fingerlakeswine country.com). Same goes for craft brewers (finge rlakesbeer trail.com), cideries, and distillers. And never forget Finger Lakes cheese producers (flcheesetrail.com). Agriculture-related opportunities abound across the region during September and October. Nevertheless, as I noted earlier, it takes even more than consumer awareness. For example, since my Senate colleagues and I unveiled a “Grown in New York” agenda several years ago, we’ve consistently taken steps in pursuit of a strong agricultural development strategy already producing achievements from creating new markets to recognizing emerging technologies, to addressing tax and regulatory burdens. One important addition to the state’s efforts is “New York State Grown & Certified.” It’s billed as the “first statewide, multi-faceted food certification program designed to strengthen consumer confidence in New York products, address food product labeling, and assist New York farmers so they can take advantage of the growing market demand for foods locally grown and produced to a higher standard.” Find out more at https://certified. ny.gov/. In short, agriculture is an industry that earns and deserves its accolades. New York farmers are the source of the freshest food for New York consumers at a time of ever-increasing demand for locally grown products. Farmers are the first stewards of the land. They provide thousands of livelihoods and anchor so many communities in so many ways. For all of that, it’s an industry constantly challenged from many competitive corners. The Senate’s “Grown in New York” strategy started from a single fact: the success of New York’s $5.2-billion agriculture sector begins and ends with the success of New York’s 36,000 farm families. These farm families and the industry they anchor will only flourish with a steadily applied legislative commitment to protect against taxing, regulating, and pricing them out of business.

Medal recognizes veterans’ courage By Arthur I. Cyr More Content Now
Two combat veterans of the Vietnam War are now receiving the Medal of Honor, which they fully deserve. Army Green Beret Gary Michael Rose was the lone medic on Operation Tailwind, a 1970 secret special mission deep into Laos by South Vietnamese and United States troops. Though badly wounded, Rose nevertheless helped to ensure all the soldiers on the mission came back alive. James McCloughan is another U.S. Army medic and Vietnam War combat veteran who demonstrated exceptional courage under fire. In 1969, he was a combat medic with C Company, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry, in the 196th Light Infantry Brigade of the Americal Division. Over two days of heavy fighting May 13-15, he courageously rescued and aided numerous injured comrades, despite his own severe wounds. McCloughan received his Medal of Honor on July 31 from President Donald Trump. Rose will
receive his from the president on Oct. 23. Both men were decorated previously, but not with the Medal of Honor. Operation Tailwind is distinctive for an intense controversy nearly two decades ago resulting from media allegations that the U.S. forces involved used poison gas — sarin — to kill American defectors along with others. Poison gas is a particularly terrible weapon. The U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 overthrew the regime of Saddam Hussein. Earlier, however, the U.S. supported the same regime in the long war with Iran. This occurred despite the fact that Iraq used poison gas in attacks against the Kurd population and Iran forces in 1988. The history added credibility to later false allegations about Iraq’s weapons. Poison gas, a grotesque killer, has a distinctive as well as disturbing history. In World War I, gas was employed by both sides. The resulting agonizing and horrific mass deaths, combined with unpredictably of winds, has served gen-
erally to deter using such weapons since. In World War II, Italy and Japan used gas in Ethiopia and China, but Nazi Germany did not bring this weapon to the battlefield. Adolf Hitler had direct exposure to poison gas during combat in the trenches in World War I. This further underscores the horrific evil of the Holocaust, where poison gas was used for mass murder on a vast scale. The long Vietnam War highlights the extreme uncertainty that can accompany allegations about poison gas. After withdrawal of U.S. forces, the Hmong were targeted for ruthless retaliation in Laos as well as Vietnam. These fierce warriors had been loyal allies of America. In 1975, reports began to surface that Soviet poison gas was being used against the Hmong. U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig in 1981 charged lethal T-2 mycotoxin was the agent. Independent scientists, however, testified naturally occurring bee defecations were responsible
for incidents of toxic “yellow rain.” In 1998, a widely touted CNN/Time report alleged use of poison gas by U.S. troops in Operation Tailwind, the special operations strike that included Rose. The lurid and implausible story stated that a main target was a group of American renegade defectors. U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen immediately investigated. As a result, CNN and Time retracted the story, and CNN personnel lost their jobs. U.S. forces in Vietnam did employ nonlethal CS tear gas. Many Americans have wanted to put the Vietnam War out of mind. Minimizing the heroism of our veterans has been one unfortunate consequence, ignoring accurate lessons of that war has been another. Honoring Vietnam heroes provides one antidote.

WORKOUT:
This pushup will relieve stress
By Marlo Alleva More Content Now
In times like this we need to find what normalcy we can. Fitness seems to be the remedy for many things, stress included. Our move today is an X pushup, and it’s a great move for any kind of stressful situation. You will be working your chest and triceps, your inner and outer thighs, and glutes. All you need is a flat surface. Begin this move on the ground on all fours. Position your hands just less than shoulder width wide and extend both legs back in a pushup position. For the more advanced, stay on your toes and beginners should drop to their knees. Keeping the core engaged and chest strong, begin to bend in your elbows like a triceps pushup. The difference in this exercise is the leg place-
ment. As you bend in the arms, you will add a side tuck with one leg as you lower. On the tuck you will bend in the knee, pulling your leg up to your side and then return it to the start on the way back up (in the pushup).
Depending on your ability, you can alternate legs with each press down or keep the movement on one side for a determined count. Take a small rest, and repeat on the other leg. Shoot for at least two sets on each side. If you are alternating legs, try
for at least three sets of a determined count or simply go until you’re fatigued. Marlo Alleva, an instructor at Gold’s Gym and group fitness coordinator at Fontaine-Gills YMCA, can be reached atfaluvz pa@msn.com.

he wanted to ride home in his drunken friend’s red Ferrari. • A drunken teen in Campbell died when was walking home on Interstate 86 after an adulthosted drinking party and he was struck by a vehicle. • Four drunken JasperTroupsburg teens died on a remote highway after a Homecoming Weekend-related drinking party. It took searchers three
days to find the wreckage. Alcohol’s damage is not just restricted to fatalities. It affects students’ brain functions for the rest of their lives, according to University of Rochester Neuroscientist Kamy Wakim. The brain perceives alcohol as a poison, Wakim said. Yet youthful brains develop a higher tolerance for alcohol,
allowing for long-term, permanent damage to the parts of the brain that control mood, thinking and behavior, she said. Impulse, reasoning and memory also can be dramatically damaged, leading to future problems, she said. “Our brains don’t stop developing until we’re 25 years old,” Wakim said. “How do you avoid the damage? Don’t drink.”

COLUMN: BATH HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Bath’s architecture: Researching your house’s history By Sharon Williams Leahy The Village of Bath boasts residential houses with a high level of architectural integrity. On any village street one can find Italianate, Queen Anne, Greek Revival, and Colonial Revival architectural styles. Each house looks like it was built for a particular family or individual, which gives the village a sense of history and community. Researching the history of your home can be interesting and fun. Here are some tips to get started. Begin by identifying the timeframe of the house’s construction and determine its architectural style. Each style was popular during a particular era of time, which offers a clue to the home’s construction date. Many Greek, Gothic or Italianate houses were constructed between 1820 and 1880, while Victorian Houses, like those in the Queen Anne style, were built between 1880 and 1910. A good reference book which may help identify architectural styles is A Field Guide To American Houses, by Virginia and Lee McAlester. Next, go to the local Clerk of Court office and perform a deed search. Start with the most recent ownership and work your way backward. Property transfers can identify the previous owners. The deed will have descriptions of the
property, the dates of when deed transfers took place, and the names of individuals who sold and purchased the property. The local tax assessor’s office may have information about improvements made to the property. A substantial jump in the assessment value of the property may indicate new construction or a building addition. Lastly, visit your local historical society. Historical societies usually house a variety of old maps. Early nineteenth century maps typically show property lots and the owners’ names. Old insurance maps, such as Sanborn maps, give descriptions of the size, layout and material of the houses they surveyed. Look through old city directories for previous owner’s names or house address. Furthermore, old newspapers may have articles or obituaries featuring the home’s previous owners. Census data can provide interesting personal details, such as the number of persons living in the home and their relationship to the head of household, the occupations of the residents, and their ages. No matter if you are interested in learning about the architecture, construction, or the history of your residence, utilizing the local resources at hand will no doubt bring you further knowledge and appreciation of your historic house.

WHAT’S UP at MOSSY BANK PARK October 1, 2017 – October in the Northeast signals the onset of one of the greatest color shows on Earth. The yearly loss of chlorophyll from deciduous tree leaves reveals the other underlying pigments built up through the year. The amounts of carotenes and anthocyanins responsible for the yellows, oranges, and reds vary year to year, depending on multiple factors like: rainfall, temperature, sun exposure, and stresses on trees. Each year it is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates, “You just never know what you’re going to get”. Even before the big color show we are treated to several previews. The understory plants and trees in woods, like at Mossy Bank Park, start changing early. Ferns turn brown, Mapleleaved Viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium) turns pink and purple, and the fall wildflowers are out. Driving up to the park or along many of our country roads, the previews projected in roadside drainage ditches include the reds of sumacs and the yellow/purple combination of side-by-side goldenrods and asters. Walking the trails at Mossy Bank Park recently in search of the various goldenrods and asters, I paused below the overlook to notice something odd on an aster leaf. My first thought was that some insect had effected the formation of numerous leaf galls. There were dozens of tiny lumps on the lowest leaf ’s surface. Bending down for a closer look, I noticed the leaf above was abnormally shaped and the reason was clear. The irregular leaf edge was lined with small green caterpillars, arranged end to end like train cars, munching away at the leaf. The stuff on the lower leaf was pellets of frass (‘bug’ poop). While that discovery may at first seem just disgusting, the amount was not insignificant; and it got me thinking. The canopy of the Mossy Bank Park woods, like all other forests, is composed of millions of individual leaves. This multitude of leaves provides ample forage for thousands of animals. North America no longer hosts many large leaf foragers. Moose, and to some extent, elk and deer, are all that are left. Their leaf herbivory is minor compared to the extinct mammoths, ground sloths, and other megaflora that existed after the last glaciation. But Nature is thrifty and all that leaf biomass does not simply go unconsumed. The leaf munchers of today are all quite small in size, but large in number. Arthropod adults and larvae, as well as other invertebrates, have taken advantage of the available resource. Moths, butterflies, beetles, leafhoppers, grasshoppers, flies, snails, slugs, milli-
D. Randy Weidner pedes, springtails, mites, and many more macroinvertebrates take the first bites. Then fungi, slime molds, roundworms, and micro-invertebrates have a go at the residuals; and bacteria finish off what is left. All but the last few organisms on those lists leave some sort of poop. If we start with a freshly formed deciduous tree leaf, and follow its fate as food, there is an astounding number of creatures involved. While still on the tree, the leaf is chewed at the edge, nibbled across the surface, burrowed into at several layers, and suffers many other insults. Each of these actions is performed by an organism evolved specifically to eat that leaf in that way. Yet most leaves survive, only to fall by abscission, after changing color, and dropping in autumn. The fall of the leaf is manna to a waiting horde of soil invertebrates, each further consuming residual leaf parts in their specific ways. One assay from an Oregon forest found each footstep you take on that forest floor was on the backs of 16,000 creatures with an average of 120,000 legs! From the first bite taken to the last, each of those animals deposited some frass. If you add it all up, most of what is not alive in soil is ‘bug’ poop. What was described above is just the consumption cycle. Eaten nutrients are then recycled by hosts of other organisms in the next cycle. These nutrients feed trees to make more leaves. So in the end, bug poop grows trees. Vast numbers and varieties of living things are necessary for it all to work. This is why biologists stress the importance of biodiversity in forests. We alter these systems at our peril.

OAK DUKE
Can you find nine deer in the photo?
Harvest moon strangely rises in October this year By Oak Duke The Harvest Moon used to be an important annual event across the world, and still is in many cultures. But now, with our modern culture’s obsession with cyberspace, its rise in the Eastern sky will pass pretty much unnoticed, except by bow hunters leaving their stands late on the evening of October 4. Most everyone else will have their heads in their computers, TVs, and phones. The big, orange bright shining moon is unusually late this year, not occurring until October. Usually the Harvest moon is in September, too early for most archery seasons, here in the Northeast and the Midwest. The Harvest Moon is that moon that is closest to the Autumn Equinox, what is also called “The First Day of Fall.” At that moment, darkness of night and daylight are exactly equal, which only happens twice a year. This year, in 2017, the Autumnal Equinox was on September 22, and the Harvest Moon follows by about two weeks later on the evening of October 4. The full moon in October is always called the Hunter’s moon. So this year, the Harvest moon and the Hunter’s moon are the same thing. So what? What is the significance to old antiquated notions like a moonrise? Nowadays, we have clocks on our phones, watches on our wrists, and we know where we are driving because our GPS tells us where we are. But long before Global Positioning Satellites, time was told by measuring the movements of the celestial bodies in many ways, from Stonehenge and the precise positioning of the Sarsen circle to handheld devices such as
a sextant. There’s a bit of an irony that even today, our communication and entertainment machines are still dependent upon orbiting satellites, tiny, complex, but nonetheless, metal moons that fly around the earth, just like that big rock, 240,000 miles or so away. The moon of course is much more than a source for mere technology and measurement of time. The moon has also added a significant spiritual element that has enhanced our lives, from romance and love to spooky times on Halloween. Movie producers are still finding a winning scenario when they can combine two sure-thing elements, beautiful women and pursing, howling werewolves and vampires – and the key ingredient...pan quickly away from the drama, show a full moon and maybe ominous clouds to add pathos and dread. And remember how to kill a werewolf. Make sure you have a silver bullet chambered. The moon is a symbol of Halloween, like black cats, witches, jack o’lanterns and skeletons. Under the light of the moon, mushrooms were supposed to grow and there, weird and scary things happen. Back when the moon was used as a navigation tool, explorers, poets, astrologers and astronomers were seen looking up at the moon to an unusual degree. And they risked being Moonstruck. Moonstruck? And not the romantic definition, like in the song, “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s a’more.” Neil Young’s, “Harvest Moon,” “Because I’m still in love with you, I want to see you dance again, because I’m still in love with you, on this Harvest Moon.” And others, Latin Moon, Blue Moon, Un-
der the Light of the Silvery Moon, and of course the Capri’s “There’s a Moon out tonight,” to name a few. Moonstruck is defined in other ways too. Here are the some of the more serious definitions: afflicted with or exhibiting irrationality and mental unsoundness: brainsick, crazy, daft, demented, disordered, distraught, dotty, insane, lunatic (notice the moon reference, luna is Latin for moon,) mad, maniac, maniacal, mentally ill, off, touched, unbalanced, unsound,…even wrong. Oh no, not wrong! Next time you disagree with someone, instead of telling that person that they are simply wrong, it might be fun to say, “You’re moonstruck.” A few other, more informal words for moonstruck are: bonkers, cracked, daffy, gaga, and the cartoonish loony (close to lunar.) Formal slang meanings include more natural references for moonstruck such as: bananas, batty, buggy, bonkers, cuckoo, fruity, loco, nuts, nutty, screwy, wacky and of course kooky. And we even have a legal term for moonstruck: non compos mentis, which is a Latin legal term for insanity or notin-one’s-right-mind. Can’t leave out our favorite little idioms that come and go with fashion but that hang around, passed from one generation to the next, all meaning moonstruck, such as: around the bend, crazy as a loon (rhymes with moon too,) mad as a hatter, not all there, nutty as a fruitcake, off, out of one’s head, off one’s rocker, of unsound mind, out
of one’s mind, sick in the head, loony tunes, twisted, and when the behavior is most severe, stark raving mad. But the moon’s perceived effects are not all bad. On the other side, take a 180-degree turn... the moon is used by outdoorsmen, hunters and fishermen since the dawn of time to determine fish and game movement an behavior in correlation with moon position. Hunting newspapers and magazines post the popular Sol-Lunar tables. These modern celestial forecasts still have their proponents and disciples who wouldn’t leave home for the woods or water without one. But as the moon rises, there are new theories on animal behavior being researched and studied. One would think that the old moon had been studied and used for so many genres of thought and ideas, there wouldn’t be any real estate left. What can we say about the moon that hasn’t already been said? What can we think about the moon that hasn’t already been thought? Wildlife science, when studying photoperiodism in relation to animal and human behavior, defines it as the functional or behavioral response of an organism to changes of duration in daily, seasonal, or yearly cycles of light and darkness. And once more, as strange as it may seem, the most modern researchers are once again looking up at the moon for even more and different answers as they try to understand animal behavior.

Strong first half fuels Raiders past Rams By Tom Passmore Steuben Courier
BATH – The Red Raiders improved to 4-0 with a 35-14 win over the Rams on a day that reached the upper 80’s in temperature in Bath last Saturday. Hornell’s high flying offense was on display from its first drive, needing only three plays until quarterback Luke Smith connected on a 39-yard touchdown to Hunter Davis for an early 7-0 lead. After the Rams’ second straight three-andout of the day, Hornell put together a 15-play 58 yard drive that included a fourth down conversion and Hunter Babcock run from five yards out. Bath picked up its first first-down in the first drive of second quarter, but the Hornell defense forced a punt. The Red Raiders once again gave the ball to Babcock, who darted for 37 yards on three carries on the next drive that was capped off by a 28-yard pass from Smith to Dantae Milner that put the Rams in a 21-0 hole. Bath had its best drive of the game the next possession, an eight play 69yard drive that saw Tyler Finch rumble his way to a 24-yard touchdown to cut the Red Raider lead

down to 21-6 late in the second quarter. Hornell responded with adrive from its own 14-yard line with under two minutes remaining in the half that concluded with a 25-yard pass from Smith to Tyler Green and a 36-yard heave from Smith to Spencer Weyend to put the Red Raiders up 28-6 as time expired in the half. “We came out flat in the beginning and we let Hornell get up on us early,” Bath head coach Wayne Carroll said. “We progressed as the game went on, but it was too late.” Babcock registered 112 yards on the ground for the Red Raiders at the half and Smith added 137 yards through the air and three touchdowns. Noah Hockaday scored a 1-yard touchdown run in the second half for the Rams and Babcock added his third touchdown of the day in the fourth quarter. Finch finished with 78 yards on 14 carries for the Rams and Connor DiDomineck added 51 yards on 11 carries. Hockaday completed 2 of 4 passes for 58 yards. “Today was not our best football, but we will fix the mistakes and move on from here,” said Carroll.

Community solar comes to local markets
BATH – Today marks the beginning of a new, first of its kind community solar Solarize campaign from RenewableNY. With an exclusive focus on supporting and expanding community solar – solar farms that deliver energy to owners or subscribers throughout a given area – the campaign will run in 15 Mid-Hudson Valley and Southern Tier counties. This is the first Solarize program to focus only on community solar and to operate on a scale this large in New York, and anyone can learn more and sign up at goingsolarstc.com. Going Solar STC is the RenewableNY partner bringing community solar to our region. Through the Solarize campaign, community members can expect to learn about how community solar works, get connected with local solar farms, and see lower energy bills. Local nonprofit organizations, solar experts and shared solar developers, alongside your volunteer neighbors, will lead educational workshops in each participating county. RenewableNY is a nonprofit partnership funded by NYSERDA for three years of Solarize programming. The group is led by Catskill Mountainkeeper, and coordinates in partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, Binghamton Regional Sustainability Coalition, and Sustainable Hudson Valley. Together they serve 15 counties in the Mid-Hudson and Southern Tier Regions of New York. Counties that will be a part of this cutting-edge program include: Tioga, Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, Tompkins, Schuyler, Chemung, Steuben, Sullivan, Ulster, Dutchess, Orange, Rockland and Putnam Counties. • Submitted

ALBANY — Some $50 million in grant funding is available to help New York livestock farms implement water quality protection projects, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has announced. The funding is a part of the governor’s $2.5 billion Clean Water Infrastructure Act of 2017, which invests unprecedented resources for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure across the state, including funds to ensure proper management and storage of nutrients such as manure on farms. The application period for the first $20 million is currently open and closes Nov. 20. “By providing New York’s farmers with the resources they need to be successful, we are supporting New York’s economy and growing jobs while taking steps to protect the state’s vibrant natural resources,” Cuomo said. “This funding is critical to ensuring New York’s water is preserved and protected while helping farmers across the state to meet environmental standards to secure a cleaner and healthier tomorrow for all.” County Soil and Water Conservation Districts can apply for the CAFO Waste Storage and Transfer System Program on behalf of eligible farmers. The maximum award amount per proposal is $385,000, which includes funding for engineering and construction expenses. Grants will help Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation-permitted farms offset the cost of water quality protection projects, such as manure storage construction, site preparation and associated bestpractices. New York state has more than 500 CAFO farms, most of which are dairy farms with 300 or more cows. CAFOs can also include associated livestock operations such as beef, poultry and equine farms. Projects funded will also help farmers meet the New York state Department of EnvironmentalConservation’s new environmentalrequirements first announced in January of this year. The application and additional information is available on the Department of Agriculture and Markets’ website. Grant awards will be made by Dec. 18. The Department will launch a second and third application period for an additional $15 million in both 2018 and 2019.

HEROES
Continued from 1A their service on Monday. After studying the wars in their Computer Technology class, 40 students interviewed 17 veterans and two spouses, documenting their responses to be recorded and archived at the Hornell Public Library. The interviews will also be compiled as a video, which will premier at Spotlight Theater in Hornell on Veterans Day at 1 p.m. The list of honored guests included Korean War Veterans Alfred Mcrae, Ed Clancy, Gene Pettibone, Ezio Fiasco, Anthony Andolina,Donald Sheridan and Richard Pollinger; and World War II veterans Wally Higgins, Peter Finlay, Stewart Smith, Jack Howe, John Pastalelic, Arthur Rutan, Tony Holevinski, Frank Andolina, Bud Maltby and Robert Hillman; and military spouses Brenda Coates and Nora Button. Among them were sailors, pilots, infantrymen, Marines, engineers medical personnel and a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Students however were not shy about asking questions, and were receptive to their stories. Arthur McRae, who served in the U.S. Army, and a graduate of Hornell High School explained the draft to students. He also recalled some of the horrors of war, tell-
ing students about the dangers of enemy landmines during the Korean War. After one soldier had his foot blown off by a mine, medical personnel like McRae were put in the line of fire, creating a “chain reaction” of horrific injuries. For his actions, McRae received a Purple Heart for injuries he sustained at the battle of Heartbreak Ridge, serving with the US Army’s Second Infantry Division. “A lot of people I served with just didn’t come home, that’s what bothers me the most,” he said. McRae kept journals, chronicling his activities, which he also shared with students. Stewart Smith, of Alfred explained the war’s origins and multiple theaters, showing children headlines about Pearl Harbor and maps of the European front. “Everyone ought to know about some of the famous battles,” he said. Arthur Rutan served in the Philippines during the war, with a squadron of P-38s. He described blue and gold star families to students and the hard reality that it represented. Rutan then recalled one of his more curious responsibilities, remaining P-38s with a red dot in the middle of the federal star logo they were emblazoned with, which was often mistaken for the rising sun symbol on Japanese Zeros.
“We couldn’t have that happen much longer, so we broke out our paint brushes and got rid of them,” he said. Bud Maltby, a US Army Corporal, spent much of his service in Okinawa, where he was charged with loading ammunition into tank artillery. His story of fierce fighting in caves on the island stirred emotions in the room. Those moments of honest emotion between student and veteran helped bridge a gap between the two generations — The greatest generation, and the one waiting in the wings to prove itself. “The enemy Japanese would be hiding back in those caves and we had to go in and get them out,” he remembered. Maltby wrote home to family, friends and his school teacher as often as possible despite the often perilous circumstances. His letters were relayed to students at the time. “I was just happy to return home,” he said. Jack Howe of Arkport, a veteran First Class Signalman for the US Navy on the USS Edwin Markham, reminded students how hard some people had it in his day. His family struggled with poverty. “I was part of a family with 13 kids,” he said. “When the Navy said they would feed me and give me quarters to sleep for free, I couldn’t say no.” Eight of his siblings

joined him in service, including one sister who also joined the Navy. Howe formed lifelong friendships with people from similar backgrounds as he served, he and his mates were the first to view the devastation from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, just ten days after the fact. “It was complete devastation. There really was nothing left outside of telephone poles and smoke stacks, everything else, there was literally nothing,” Howe said. Frank Andolina, who served as a Combat Engineer with the US Army in the Rhineland region of France and Germany fielded a question about whether or not there was
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2017 anything he liked about the war. He answered honestly. “No, war’s not good. It’s always started by a crazy guy like Hitler or Kim Jung Un,” he said. The conversation helped students draw parallels between events in history and those receiving headlines today. “I like to make jokes about his hair. I looks like a bird about to fly away,” a student retorted about North Korea’s leader. “Ka-Caw, Ka-Caw.” Andolina and the men he served with were tasked with building a pontoon bridge across the Rhine River, dividing French, Swiss and German territory, a necessary supply line to control in order to breach

the German boarder and end the war. The exercise on Monday was mandated with purpose, to deliver knowledge from first hand sources. “It’s to make connections between 10 year olds and 95 year olds … It was neat,” said Computer Technology Teacher Linda Walter. “If they don’t know about the past, then they can’t change the future.” The public is invited to view the interviews at the Veterans Day premier event at Spotlight Theater. In the meantime, an extensive collection of local military records and newspaper articles for both wars is available at the Hornell Public Library.

DEC: How old is that deer?
As deer season begins, hunters are scouting the deer they will be hunting this fall. Estimating their age is important for making informed harvest decisions. For antlerless deer, the primary question is whether you are observing a fawn or adult. While yearling (1.5-year-old) bucks are relatively easy to identify, estimating the age of older bucks can be more difficult. To learn how, see DEC’s Guide to Aging White-tailed Deer in New York. Allowing yearling bucks to survive an extra year may enhance your deer hunting experience, especially if your hunting partners and neighbors are also passing on yearling bucks.
