Tioga Downs Casino Resort and Watkins Glen International Announce Multi-Year Partnership
Tioga Downs Casino Resort and Watkins Glen International have announced a multi-year partnership, making Tioga Downs the ‘Official Casino’ of Watkins Glen International. Watkins Glen International and Tioga Downs will work together to expand the region’s tourism reach with packages that complement each other’s properties and NYS attractions in general. These include bringing motor coach groups and tours from other areas so guests can experience all that the Southern Tier has to offer. “Today is a great day for the Southern Tier with two of the region’s premier destinations coming together to provide additional opportunities to draw and attract visitors from outside the area,” Tioga Downs President Charles Otto said. “Watkins Glen International is a historic
organization that has a long-standing reputation of quality and tradition and Tioga Downs is proud to partner with them.” As part of the multi-year deal as the Official Casino of Watkins Glen International, Tioga Downs will have the title sponsorship of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge race taking place on Saturday, June 29, during Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen race weekend at Watkins Glen International. The race will now be named the “Tioga Downs 240,” the 240 represents the length of the race in minutes. “All of us at Watkins Glen International are thrilled with this announcement of Tioga Downs Casino Resort as our ‘Official Casino’,” WGI President Michael Printup said. “For us, the ability to
work with another one of the true drivers in terms of regional tourism and economic development, it checks off all of the boxes that you want to see in a partnership. We are excited to grow this into something very meaningful for both sides, and for the Southern Tier at-large.” In addition, the Daytona 500 viewing party will be hosted at Tioga Downs on Sunday, February 17. The Daytona 500 is a 500-mile-long Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series motor race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Admission to the watch party will be free and will include interactive games as well as food and drink specials while the big race is broadcast throughout the property. Tioga Downs owner Jeff Gural said, “We are excited to partner with a great
group like Watkins Glen International for the benefit of all those inside and outside of the region. When I first announced our intent to apply for a casino license here at Tioga Downs, one of the overarching themes was to partner with local organizations for the collective benefit of the area and its residents. We feel that this partnership with Watkins Glen International is representative of that commitment and both groups will collectively work to bring increased tourism to the region.”

Candor Prepares for St. Baldrick’s Event & 5K This spring, Candor EMS and the American Legion Auxiliary will once again host the St. Baldrick’s Shave-aThon and 5K run/walk to raise money for childhood cancer research. The event takes place on Sunday, March 31, at the Candor Elementary School. To get the ball rolling, the team is participating in the community Indoor Yard Sale at Candor High School on March 2, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. All proceeds go to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. The team is accepting items in good, sellable condition but no TVs or computer equipment. If you have items to donate, drop them off at the high school on Friday, March 1, between 4:15 and 5:30 pm. The St. Baldrick’s team will also be holding a Can and Bottle Drive from the end of February through the end of
March. Look for drop-off wagons at the Hi-Way Dairy bar and also at Iron Kettle Farm. There are other ways to participate as well. Sign up to be a shavee. Register for the 5K event. And think about becoming a sponsor. The St. Baldrick’s organizers are seeking business and individual sponsors who, in return, gain fame on the back of the 5K Tshirt. They are also seeking donations of gift basket donations, raffle items, and food for the concession stand. For more information about the yard sale or sponsorship, contact Kelly at (607) 972-4395 or krstarkwe@ gmail.com or Joan Bartlett at jeb13@cornell.edu.

Ti-Ahwaga Players to Present “Plaza Suite”
Ti-Ahwaga Players will present Neil Simon’s comedy “Plaza Suite” on the first three weekends in March beginning Friday, March 1, and running through March 17, 2019. Friday and Saturday night performances are at 8:00 pm with the Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm. The comedy is presented as an honor/ memoriam to the late playwright who passed away last year. Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three
marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, “I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!” In the cast are veteran Ti-Ahwaga performers, Kathy Harris and Jamie Cornell. Others are Anne Glasgow, Sonny Dewitt, Cameron Cole and Gordon Wu. The play is under the direction of James Osborne. Tickets can be reserved by calling the theatre at 607-687-2130 or online at www.tiahwaga.com.

Today (January 23) I voted "NO" on the NYS Dream Act on behalf of the people I so proudly represent in the 52nd Senate District. Thousands of residents of the 52nd Senate District weighed in on the NYS DREAM Act, and the overwhelming majority opposed the measure. I voted in favor of their needs and interests. I voted in favor of the thousands of families across my community stretching dollars and struggling to save to provide their own children with the opportunity for a college education. I voted in favor of the thousands of individuals suffocating in student loan debt while in search of opportunity and the American Dream. I voted against pushing those families and students aside in favor of providing free college tuition to undocumented and illegal immigrants and I stand by my vote.

Captain Dinosaur Report Southside-Campville Structure Fire, January 29 At about 10:15 am on Tuesday, January 29, 2019, the 29th Southside Fire was dispatched to a structure fire on Hall Road. The initial report came over as flames showing through the roof. Campville Fire was then immediately dispatched, followed by Owego Village. The weather was extremely cold with temperatures around 8 degrees F and a wind chill well below 0 degrees F. It was clear, with wind and significant snow cover on the ground. Campville responded with Engine 302, Engine 304, Quint 301, Tanker 321, Squad 332 and Fire Police 346 and 342. Owego responded with Engine 804 and Engine-Tanker 803. Southside rounded out the assignment with Engine 1801 and Engine 1802. Total personnel on the scene numbered about 35. Support was provided by the Tioga County Fire Investigation Team and The Town of Owego Highway Department for a large sand truck. On arrival the size up revealed a wood frame, one story structure well involved in fire through the roof. No occupants were in the building at the time. Access was up a narrow, uphill driveway with a drop-off on the low side which made entry precarious for fire vehicles on the heavily iced, unpaved pathway. If any vehicle had slid off the side it would have overturned and blocked the single entry point. Engine 302 navigated the hill to the yard and initiated an attack with a 1 3/4 inch line and a 2 1/2 inch line, both focused on the body of fire and were supplied by on-board water. Engine 804 followed shortly behind and supplied water to 302. Each of these units carried 1000 gallons. 803 pulled in behind 804 and used their 2000 gallon tank to further supply the operation. Simultaneously, Tanker 321 parked on the town road parallel to the driveway and below the hillside where they set up their 2500 gallon portable tank.
After the three engines in the driveway were depleted of water, the supply was switched to the portable tank. Southside 1802 drafted from there uphill via Large Diameter Hose to 804, who in turn supplied 302. Since there are no hydrants all water is transported in from a fill site. All this coordination requires training, practice and experience and came together very efficiently with three fire companies working as a single team. All Campville units were back in service 6 hours later at 4:15 pm. Prior to apparatus backing down the driveway, the sand truck made several passes to coat the ice made worse by the freezing water runoff associated with operating fire engines. We all went home safe after a long day at the scene with no injuries. It is an honor to work with all of you. January 30, 2019 And then, today, 30 January, the house developed a small fire in the debris pile that was residual from the day before. At 0640 hours Southside, Campville and Owego were dispatched to handle this with Campville responding with Engine 304, Tanker 321 and Squad 332 while Owego responded with Engine 804. The major complication today was the extreme cold with temperatures hovering around -8 degrees F. When weather is like this hose lines freeze quickly and this occurred during the period when the debris pile was pulled apart. Other lines were put into play and extinguishment proceeded unimpaired. Two units were back in service in about two hours while one engine went in service a little later after thawing out in quarters. Extremely cold weather puts extra pressure on heating systems so greater care must be practiced. This is even more true when heating with wood burning systems. Please be extra vigilant.

Titanic: The Musical at OA Theater, Feb 8-10
The Owego Apalachin Music Department presents Titanic: The Musical on February 8 and 9 at 7:30 pm and February 10 at 2:30 pm under the direction of Megan Burrell, OFA Choral Director, and choreographed by Katherine Gould, OAMS Choral Director. You don’t want to miss this dramatic historic recounting of the tragic sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912, which remains the quintessential disaster of the 20th Century. Opening on Broadway in 1997, with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Peter Stone, Titanic won five Tony Awards and stretched the bounds of expression in musical theater. A cast of 65 Owego-Apalachin students play real 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class passengers and crew in the musical story which honors the tragedy of the sinking of such a massive ship. This story shows humankind’s desire to achieve great technological works and the dreams of the passengers on board. This disaster questioned whether bigger and faster is in fact better. Stone writes, “This is a factual story of that ship – of her officers, crew, and passengers. The central character of our Titanic is Titanic herself.” You simply will not believe your eyes when the curtains open after the stunning opening of Titanic music played by the pit orchestra of professional musicians and seven Owego-Apalachin talented musicians under the baton of Lindsey Wil-
liams, OFA band director. The massive Titanic spans the entire length and width of the theater stage and has been built by parents and community volunteers led by Nate Brown, Owego-Apalachin Middle School Technology Teacher. The aweinspiring scenery is designed by Christine Crossgrove and the stunning costumes are designed by Colleen Dewey-Wright. Let the students take you on a powerful historic journey where you will experience life on the 1912 Titanic firsthand as you are immediately drawn into the show with the vivid scenery, dramatic and dynamic music, and powerful acting and singing by these talented OA students. You will leave wanting to come back for another show. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time by calling Cindy Patrick at 687-6233, ext. 4, from Megan Burrell at burrellm@oacsd.org, or at the door each night. If you plan on coming to the Saturday night show, make your life easier by coming to the Spaghetti Dinner held in the OFA cafeteria any time between 4:30 and 7:00 pm. Treat yourself and family members to a night out with a dinner and a show. All proceeds benefit the OwegoApalachin Music Boosters. Tickets will be on sale at the door. Cost is $8 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under, and free for children ages 3 and under.

Letter to the Editor
Disappearing Farmland
January 24, 2019 Dear Editor, In early January Amy Kneller, an Ag. Resource specialist with the Bradford County Conservation District distributed a news release asking the question “Disappearing Farmland - Can We Save It?” To date Bradford County has secured agricultural easements on 17 farms protecting 4,346 acres from willing farmers. It appears that Bradford has a backlog of willing farmers (26 qualified farms representing 5,762 acres). The District is seeking more funds to preserve these farms with the best quality soils. Amy notes that these pastoral scenes are entrusted to us and future genera-
tions. This is what attracts tourists to the area. The Bradford County Agricultural Land Preservation Board, established in 2001, has been working hard to protect these picturesque settings and productive soils for future generation. I wish to congratulate the Bradford County leadership for recognizing the contributions of the small farmer and how they contribute to the economy of Ag as well as tourism. The question that I ask is “What is Tioga County, New York doing to save its best agricultural lands from destructive future development?” Most respectfully, Marty Borko Waverly, NY

Santa Visits Foster Children
On December 21, 2018, several Tioga County foster children were delighted when they opened their front doors and were greeted by Santa and some of his local elves (aka the Tioga County Foster Care team), bringing them their first Christmas gifts. As is his tradition, Santa provided each child with their first gift of Christmas. The children were excited and shocked to see Santa in their living
rooms, helping them open their gifts, and sitting on his lap. Thank you to the continued generosity of community members in both Tioga and Broome County.

VERVALIN More than 400 bricks sold to date supporting Baker Fireman Fountain restoration effort. Owego Hose Teams, Inc., has announced its “Buy a Brick” campaign supporting the Baker Fireman’s Fountain restoration effort has sold more than 400 bricks to date. As part of the overall restoration project a memorial brick walkway will be set leading up to the Fireman Fountain from Main Street. Individuals, businesses, and organizations have purchased “memorial bricks” that forever memorialize their tax deductible contribution in honor of loved ones, community heroes, and a host of other special remembrances. Modeled after the Walk of Honor at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland, each brick is being inscribed by Richard’s Monument Service in Owego. The same brick type used at the Emmitsburg Memorial from Glen Gery Bricks is being used in Owego also. The hose team’s original goal was to sell 100 bricks and has long been surpassed with the total now standing at 411 bricks sold. Multiple brick orders are still being made each week. Brick orders have come in from all over the country from people with ties to Owego in 20 different states. Several Owego Free Academy (OFA) graduating classes have purchased bricks including the classes of 1962, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1987, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, and the Owego Elementary School (OES) Class of 2018 future OFA Class of 2025. The OFA Class of 1970 put the total brick order number over 400 with 17 bricks ordered honoring many community heroes including the five past OFA students killed in the Vietnam War, five Owego Fire Fallen Firefighters that included Class of 1970 graduate Steve Gavin, OPD Police Officer Allen Hall who was killed in the line of duty and several others. When a brick is ordered, the purchas-
er receives a letter and certificate thanking them for their donation. If the brick is a gift in honor or in memory of someone, the hose team prepares and sends a letter and certificate to the person being honored or to the family of someone being remembered. As Owego Hose Teams, Inc. is a recognized 501(c)3 charitable organization the contribution is tax deductible. All proceeds benefit the fountain restoration. Bricks will continue to be sold even after the walkway is put down this spring as blank bricks will be placed in the walkway and exchanged with new orders. The hose team has raised over $100,000 for the project through their annual memorial golf tournament at Tioga Golf Club, grants from the Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation, Fannie C. Hyde Charitable Trust, and the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, chicken BBQs, Monte Carlo Nights, brick sales and donations. Work on the fountain site has paused due to winter conditions and will resume in the spring. The project is expected to be completed in late spring this year will plans in the works for a celebratory rededication, firemen’s parade, hose race, and dinner reception. Updates on the fountain project, brick purchases, and registrations for the June 1st hose team golf tournament can be found on the hose team website at www.OwegoHoseTeams.com or by fol-
