Popular Newark Valley Maze Returns for 17th Season

The corn maze at Stoughton Farm in Newark Valley opened to the public on September 18. The Stoughton family, in partnership with maze designer Brett Herbst, founder of the “The MAiZE,” the world’s largest corn maze consulting company, hope to give even more people a chance to experience the unique source of good farming fun in their newly-designed maze. While the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionallychallenged visitors – adults and children alike – will require about one to two hours to travel through. The 2021 corn maze challenges the senses with its vast 8+ acres of pathways, turning points and dead ends. This year the designer has gone above and beyond to challenge the adventurous with the twists and turns of a fantastic spider and her spider web. The maze will give visitors the chance to “get lost” now through October 31.

“Owego Hose Team Hosts Inaugural Pink Elephant Putt Putt Tournament & Ball Drop” Registration now open for October 23rd tournament at Metro’s Restaurant. On Saturday, October 23, Owego Hose Teams, Inc. is teaming up with Metro’s Restaurant to host a “Putt Putt” contest to benefit its 1866 Amoskeag Steam Fire Engine project. The round of miniature golf or “Putt Putt” includes pizza, salad, and refreshments at one of Owego’s longest running family businesses. In the 1950s, Metro’s was one of the first restaurants in the area to serve pizza - then called “hot pies.” The Captain and Mate tournament will have two flights at 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. As part of the festivities a ball drop raffle will take place with a possible $10,000 grand prize. Teams are encouraged to register through the Hose Team’s website for the miniature golf tournament at https:// www.owegohoseteams.com/putt-putt/. Paper registrations will be accepted and are also available online. Ball drop tickets for $100 are being sold separately and available at Scott Smith & Son, the Community Shop, Weaver Automotive, VFW, Legion or by contacting a Hose Team Member. Only 200 tickets will be sold ($100 each) for a possible grand prize of $10,000 or half of ticket sale proceeds. The ball drop will take place at Metro’s on October 23 at 6:00 pm. Said Hose

Team Member Ken “Taz” Howard, “You got to be in it to win it!” The monies raised from the tournament support the restoration for the Owego Fire Department’s 1866 Amoskeag Steam Fire Engine and associated “Steamer House” that is being built on North Avenue. The Steamer is currently under repair at Firefly Restorations in Hope, Maine. The Steamer boiler is being rebuilt allowing the fire engine to be operational again making it the oldest operating steam fire engine in the country. Firefly and its owner Andy Swift were recently featured on the Magnolia Network on Discovery Plus with a documentary called “The Fireman.”

Sauerbrey Elected President of NYS Association of Counties

County officials from across New York State last month elected Tioga County Chairwoman Martha (Marte) Sauerbrey as the new president of the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC). Her one-year term began immediately and extends through September 2022, during the Association’s next Fall Seminar. “I’m honored that my peers in county government have elected me to serve this great organization at this critical time,” said President Sauerbrey. “It is more important than ever for our counties to have a seat at the table as we work with our partners in State government to respond to new COVID challenges, keep our residents safe, rebuild our economies, and invest in the future.” Chairwoman Sauerbrey has served Tioga County for over a decade as a

member of the County Legislature and has served as Chair of the Legislative Board since 2014. “Chairwoman Sauerbrey is a dedicated and experienced county leader. Her ability to bring people together, commitment, and vision for creating more effective, efficient and inclusive county governments will make her a vital asset as leader to this great organization,” said immediate past-president and Ontario County Board Chair Jack Marren. Organized in 1925, NYSAC is the only statewide municipal association representing the interests of all the state’s county leaders, including legislators, supervisors, county executives, administrators, commissioners and other county officials who deliver county services. “I've had the pleasure of working with Chairwoman Sauerbrey for many years in various capacities and I’m confident that she’ll bring that same strong energy and collaboration to NYSAC that she has championed in Tioga County. Her leadership will be invaluable as we continue to navigate the extraordinary challenges and opportunities local governments face,” said NYSAC Executive Director Stephen Acquario. NYSAC is a bipartisan organization, with a mission to inform, educate, advocate for, and serve member counties and the thousands of elected and appointed county officials who serve the public. The association represents counties before federal and state officials and works to inform county officials through conferences, workshops, research reports, and a range of publications.
