Tioga Turns The Tide: Our Community Celebrates A Year of Progress
Number 9
Nichols Community Day Held on Labor Day
The Nichols Community Day Parade started at 10am from Cady Avenue.
One year ago, in September 2011, our community suffered the worst flooding in recent history. The Village of Owego and some community members are working together to recognize the event’s impact on our community and celebrate the progress the community has made in the last year. Jana Inglasbe, Long Term Recovery Committee Member said “Rebuilding is a long process and we aren’t done yet. We believe it’s important to gather as a community and celebrate the fact that we are here, we will rebuild and we will continue to move forward together.” To celebrate the progress made towards recovery the community has two events planned. Starting at 5:00 pm on Friday, September 7, The Village of Owego is hosting a block party in downtown Owego complete with amazing
specials from downtown merchants, live music and fireworks. The event continues Saturday, September 8, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm as Tioga Opportunities, Inc. hosts a community picnic at the Countryside Community Center on Sheldon Guile Blvd. in Owego. The community picnic will feature a free BBQ, bingo, games, bounce house, and lots of goodies for the kids including a display of fire trucks, free bike helmets and car seats. The fireworks will be launched from Draper Park and are the fireworks originally scheduled for the 4th of July. The Village of Owego and the event planning committee would like to thank Visions Federal Credit Union for their generous support of the fireworks. Details of the events can be found on pages 6 & 12 (Events may be added)
When the girls of Girl Scout Troop 113 heard that the annual Nichols Old Home Day was not going to happen this year because of the damage caused by last year's flood to Kirby Park, they put their efforts together to seek a solution. They girls have come to expect getting together with friends and neighbors for a last celebration before school starts. To

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, At the August 23, 2012 OACSD School board meeting there was a discussion concerning the new elementary school that is going to be built. A fact finding design committee has been established and not surprisingly there are not any community taxpayers on that committee. There are only district employees. So much for the BOE and the Superintendent wanting the community to be involved in all things related to the school system yet community taxpayers are left out of this process. Does this set a good tone of good will between the BOE, Superintendent, and with the com-
munity? I give Mr. Crosby a lot of credit for asking why the community was not being asked to participate within the design committee, and the Superintendent said it was due to time constraints. TIME CONSTRAINTS???? That is a very poor reason why the Superintendent doesn’t want to deal with the taxpayers even though the taxpayers are paying his salary. Where were the rest of the BOE in asking those kinds of questions? There weren’t any. Where is the cooperation between the BOE and taxpayers? I don’t see it. Sincerely, Candy Sweppenheiser, Owego

"Death of a Salesman" in Owego The Ti-Ahwaga Players will perform Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" next month. The play is a gripping play of deep and revealing beauty that remains one of the most profound classic dramas of the American theatre. The story revolves around the last days of Willy Loman, a failing salesman, who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic, soulsearching revelations of his life we discover how his quest for the “American
Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him. The play will be performed October 5, 6, 7, October 12, 13, 14, and October 19, 20, 21. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8:00 pm, Sunday performances are at 2:00 pm. General admission is $18, Fridays Students w/ID $10, Sundays Seniors 60+ $15. The Ti-Ahwaga Performing Arts Center is at 42 Delphine Street in Owego. For more information, call 687-2130, or go to www.tiahwaga.com

Summer Recreation Program Thanks Community More than 70 children enjoyed a summer enrichment program that included field trips and basic swim lessons this year through the Newark Valley Joint Summer Recreation Program, thanks to generous grant from Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation. “I am thankful to be able to offer this opportunity to the children of our community,” said Jacia Donnelly, camp director. “Not only were we able to provide a summer of fun activities for our youth, but continue to provide free swim lessons and water safety instruction.” The Newark Valley Joint Summer Recreation Program provides free summer enrichment activities to school-age children in the community. This year, in addition to offering free swim lessons, the children went on two field trips, one to Skate Estate in Vestal, and to Cinema Saver in Endicott. The Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation provided a generous grant of $1,520. This money was used to provide safe busing transportation to and from
the camp to the field trip locations, Donnelly said. There is no charge for the recreation program, which is operated by the Village of Newark Valley and donations from campers’ parents. “It’s thanks to donations from organizations like the Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation that we were able to offer this valuable program to the children of our community,” Donnelly said. Other generous gifts were received from the Blessed Trinity Parish. Greenwood Park provided free access for learn-toswim lessons and for free swim time for the children. In addition to the field trip and swimming activities, the Joint Recreation Program provides arts and crafts, games and other recreational opportunities for school-age children in the Newark Valley, Berkshire, and Richford during four weeks of the summer. This year’s program concluded on August 9, 2012. The program generally begins mid-July.

Chairman of American Racing and Entertainment Jeff Gural was at Tioga Downs on September 3 for an important presentation. As a way of giving back to those who have so heroically served and protected us, a check for all ticket sales proceeds from the Oak Ridge Boys concert held August 10 at Tioga Downs was presented to the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group. In addition to the proceeds raised from ticket sales, Mr. Gural personally donated $10.00 for each ticket making a total of $20 for every ticket sold. That brought the amount of the final donation to a remarkable $78,400 for the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group. “Once again, I am grateful for the opportunity to help our veterans here in the twin tiers. The Oak Ridge Boys is one of my favorite groups, and the donation is being done in appreciation for all that
the veterans in the country have done to keep us safe,” Mr. Gural stated. Mr. Gural and Tioga Downs have made several notable donations to veteran’s causes, and continue to make giving to such causes a priority. Last year’s Wynonna concert at Tioga Downs raised $40,870 through ticket sales, with Mr. Gural’s $5.00 match adding another $20,435 to the final amount that was then donated to the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group. Tioga Downs Casino is open yearround with video gaming machines, simulcast horse racing, restaurants, a sports bar and special entertainment events. It is located along the north side of NY Route 17/ I-86, two miles west of exit 62 in Nichols, NY. For more information go to www.tiogadowns.com (1-888WIN-TIOGA).

Owego Native Earns Rare Honor from American Legion
National Commander Fang A. Wong (left); Honorary PNC Dick Pedro (center); and National Executive Committeeman Jerry L. Hedrick of North Carolina (right). An Owego native has become only the eleventh person in the history of the 93-year-old American Legion to be named “Past National Commander of The American Legion” without actually serving a term as national commander. Richard M. Pedro joins legendary New Yorkers Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and longtime U.S. Representative Hamilton Fish in receiving the rare honor. Delegates at the organization’s 94th Annual National Convention unanimously passed Resolution 1, which officially bestowed the office upon the adjutant for The American Legion Department of New York. “I am absolutely floored,” Pedro said after being sworn in as a past national commander by the current National
Commander, Fang A. Wong, also of New York. “The American Legion is a great organization. I am honored and proud to be a part of it.” Pedro joined American Legion Post 401 in Tioga, New York, 67 years ago after serving in the U.S. Navy. While presenting Pedro a plaque commemorating the honor, North Carolina Executive Committee member Jerry Hedrick said, “These plaques are usually given to men who are about to do great things, but you have already done great things, a lifetime full of great things for your fellow veterans, your country and The American Legion. We know that you will continue to serve The American Legion and all of us will continue to be far better because of it.”

"Bull in a China Shop" in Nichols The Community Care Network of Nichols (CCNN) and the Tioga Acting Guild (TAG) pulled off another wonderful dinner/theatre event August 3 to 5 at the Nichols Elementary Gymnasium. Audiences were treated to a delicious chicken and biscuit dinner and then a hilarious rendition of Bull in a China Shop. In spite of the heat, the show was a wonderful success and was enjoyed by all who attended. TAG has partnered with CCNN for several dinner/theatre fundraisers, coming under CCNN’s Not-for-Profit umbrella. However, director Robin Benesh announced that TAG was in the process of becoming its own Not for Profit Incorporation and would be producing future plays on their own. While they appreciate the partnership they have experienced with CCNN, it is time to
make a go of it on their own. This is a big step for TAG, one they are very excited about. TAG’s vision is to not only entertain the community with quality theatre, but to hold other cultural events to both raise funds for charitable organizations as well as sponsor free events for the public. This makes TAG a very unique organization, one in which they hope will receive great support from the communities and businesses in the surrounding areas. TAG is in the process of forming a board of directors and all the necessary paperwork to make it happen. They hope to hold open auditions in the near future. You can follow TAG’s announcements and contact them by liking their Facebook page, or contact Robin Benesh via email (robenesh@gmail.com).
Gallery Forty-One Features Literary Arts Gallery Forty-One on Lake Street in Owego is venturing into a new expression of art form, the literary arts, by featuring the works of Owego writer and author, R. W. White throughout the month of September. During the Third Friday Art Walk, September 21, 5:00 to 8:00 pm, the Gallery will host an author event and book-signing with Bob White. When asked to explain how writing was an art form, White replied, “In as much as a painter begins with a blank canvas and within weeks or months will have a completed image within a frame, the fiction writer will begin with a blank screen or page and within a year or several years have a completed story between two covers. All writing,” he added, “particularly fiction, evolves from the creative skills of the writer.” Bob White’s 2012 release is The
Secret of Abetifi, a thriller set in West Africa. His other novels are Hotbed in Tranquility and Susquehanna Scandal. He also has two nonfiction books to his credit, Yours Truly, C. P. Avery, the biography of Tioga County’s first elected judge, and Love, Kilby, the true story of a woman’s use of alternative therapies in surviving breast cancer. These books are available in either print or e-book format at www.booksbybobwhite.com. Gallery Forty-One welcomes applicants for membership. Pick up an application at the Gallery, or contact Jerry Arbes at 637-2739 or arbesg@gmail.com. The Gallery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, with extended hours to 8:00 pm on Owego’s Third Friday Art Walks.

St. Patrick School Fall Festival - Sept 28 and 29 After being cancelled last fall in the wake of flooding from Tropical Storm Lee, the St. Patrick School Fall Festival is back! The Fall Festival will be held from 5:00 to 10:00 pm, Friday, September 28, and 11:00 am to 10:00 pm, Saturday, September 29, at St. Patrick School, 309 Front Street in Owego. The family-friendly event is a celebration of St. Patrick School and the community, with a weekend full of live entertainment, delicious food, shopping and activities. Flooding of the school’s basement last September lead to the loss of nearly everything needed to run the two-day event. While much will seem familiar to Fall Festival visitors, it is actually brandnew. Throughout the weekend, families will enjoy games in Leprechaun Land for just 25-cents a try. Paddy Bucks are awarded every time, which children can collect and trade for prizes. Food is in great supply all around with Dad’s Diner serving up traditional festival fare and Shamrock Café showcasing delectable desserts. Get in the Halloween Spirit with the always popular haunted house and check out the gently-used costumes in Halloween BOO-tique. Find a “new to you” treasure in Buy the Book and Irish Alley Treasures. At 6:45 pm Friday, the Luminary Memorial Service will take place to honor the memories of loved ones. Purchase your luminaries in advance by calling the school at 687-1770. The cost is $5.00 each or 3 for $13.00. Starting at 5:00 pm Friday, see homegrown talent in “Songwriter Showcase.” Students from the Young Music School will perform in voice, performance, and guitar. Many have competed and won local talent contests, and even auditioned for national talent shows. This year’s performers are Ashley Lux, Lia Scott, Brooke Albright, Eisha Conrad, Amanda Jordan, Kellie Wright, Sara Sienko, Heather Hommel, Jordan Woloch (with Hover), and Victoria Young.
Also performing is "Like Father, Like Son,” an acoustic duo with Edward Kurtz on guitar and Jacob Kurtz on bass playing anything from Bruce Springsteen to America to original songs. Rounding out the set is Martin Neuhard, accompanied by Michael Wu and Jesse Wells. Neuhard has been playing guitar and writing tunes for 20 years. He recently performed at Cyber Café playing songs off his completed debut EP produced by Randy McStine. From 7:15 to 8:15 pm, local fan favorite and teen heaththrob “Hover” returns for another rocking performance. Taking the stage at 8:30 pm and closing out the night is The Randy McStine Trio with McStine, John Kanazawich & Jim Rosati. Expect to hear lots of rock hits and deep album tracks from the '60s through the '90s. Saturday’s performances are equally entertaining. At 11:00 am contemporary Christian group New Day plays a mixture of original, contemporary, and uptempo songs to inspire and uplift listeners. Playing at 6:00 pm is Daphne Braden, who has been entertaining in the Southern Tier since 1997, performing a wide variety of musical styles including pop and rock, jazz, blues, country, and classic hits. She often creates a fun "variety show" atmosphere, with sing-alongs and props for audience participation. Following Daphne Braden’s performance is The String Band, a high energy four-piece Bluegrass Band celebrating 15 years this season. They will perform original and traditional tunes twisting some into cutting edge, modern bluegrass. Rounding out the evening, and ending the weekend on a high note, is Kenyon Hill. Made up of five members, including a father and daughter duo, this folk, bluegrass and roots band is the house band at the Red Barn in Deposit, N.Y., and has been performing for decades. For a schedule of events, visit www.stpatrickowego.org For more information on the festival, call the school at 687-1770.
