How many years has it been?!—could be heard all around, accompanied by many a hearty hug and clutched elbow as old friends reunited anew. after tablefuls of genera- tions of warriors (including some of the littlest and new- est) made their way through the buffet-style lunch, the cer- emony began in earnest. Bry- an innes, emcee for the day and Sidney central School alumni association Vice president and class of ’01 alum, got things started with a brief presentation to a hand- ful 2016 ScSd scholarship recipients before welcoming the morning’s keynote speak- er, principal of Sidney high School, eben Bullock. Bullock, who opened by saying, “it has been a pleasure watching the district grow these past years,” showed the crowd two videos; the first highlighted all that ScSd as a whole has to offer—from pan- oramas of warrior football to impressive robotics club milestones—and the second focused on the success of the ScSaa’s inaugural career day, held back in late april of this year. Bullock used the latter of the two videos to underscore the importance of connectedness as it relates to student success, not just in and during school, but beyond the halls of academia and out into the wider world as well. “alumni interaction is just an- other example of the types of opportunities available at Sid- ney,” said Bullock in closing. The first inductee to be honored was former long- time Sidney superintendent, dr. dominic “Nick” Nuci- foro, Sr. Nuciforo, who will also be remembered for his service with Sidney’s rotary club and chamber of com- merce, was presented by rob- ert weitzman, who described the challenge of trying to sum up all that Nuciforo is and has done as “overwhelm- ing.” By way of introduction, weitzman detailed how Nu- ciforo’s upbringing uniquely outfitted him to recognize and work with all levels of stu- dents and abilities. he also re- counted Nuciforo’s esteemed employment history, his many impactful community ser- vice roles and his success as a dedicated family man and humanitarian. “people were always at the center of Nick’s life,” said weitzman. Nuciforo, who graciously said he had to ask himself, ‘who’s that he’s talking about?’ after weitzman’s in- troduction, went on to say the he was honored and thrilled to be inducted into the wall of Fame. “School success is not about the number of gradu- ates, but creating empowered, impassioned students,” said Nuciforo. “all people matter.” Nuciforo recalled his initial interview with Sidney’s Board of education wherein he said he knew, right away, that Sidney’s was a community that “was involved and cared about the whole child…that was great, that’s what i was looking for.” Nuciforo, whose recognition was for exempla- ry leadership in education and community service, finished with a fitting John a. Maxwell quote: “Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Marshall Brooks, son of the late Stewart Brooks, ac- cepted his father’s award next. Of Stewart, who was a class of ’42 graduate, Marshall said, “My father experienced the intimacy of education; he experienced the intimacy of community…Over the course of his long life, when people met him, they got Sidney right away. you would feel this come through.” Brooks was being honored posthumously for distinguished service to higher education and publish- ing. “everything was wrapped up in his Sidney experience,” said Marshall. “i think of him and Sidney as a double helix, a kind of intertwining of in- terests and encouragements… The appropriateness of this honor is that he was the em- bodiment of all that [Sidney] has to offer.” r. douglas Sheldon, him- self a past wall of Fame in- ductee and class of ’59 alum, presented dennis porter his award, given for exemplary community service and vol- unteerism. Sheldon described porter as someone uniquely able to “slice an idea ev- ery which way” and said his knack for playing devil’s advocate whilst remaining clear-sighted is “superb.” “For his commitment to the cham- ber of commerce, rotary, the Board of education, the Sc- Saa, Scouts, the united way, the Sports hall of Fame and the wall of Fame, it’s hard to find anyone else on this wall who’s given back more to the community that raised him,” praised Sheldon, who noted his “enormously deep respect and profound admiration” for porter’s “great strength.” porter, who received a standing ovation from the crowd, expressed that it was hard for him to think of him- self as among such “celebri- ties” as populate the wall of Fame. porter worked to ex- press his relationships with fellow inductees and thanked them for their contributions. he also spoke of his father, who was a 40-year toolmaker at amphenol and who got porter started on the path of his adult life. he credited his mother with setting an exam- ple of dedicated volunteerism, though said, “i don’t know why i do the things i do, but i do have a love for this com- munity that overpowers me.” Of the wall specifically, por- ter said, “it gives a reason for our youth to look up there and realize, ‘i can be somebody.’ i’m very proud, honored and humbled.” porter closed by saying that, “Service to hu- manity is the best work in life.” Local radio personality, author and class of ’67 alum, charles “chuck” d’imperio, presented the day’s next hon- oree, carlos washington. d’imperio began by high- lighting the diversity of the wall of Fame’s honorees to date, noting that “each of them followed a different path after coming down off that hill be- hind the high school on grad- uation day…carlos wash- ington’s road led him to the american west.” d’imperio went on to give a captivating introduction, rife with comic timing and audience laugh- ter, praising washington for Pictured here is Chuck D’Imperio, ’67 (left), caught in a candid moment of greeting with 2016 inductees Carlos Washington, ‘76 (rear) and Dennis Porter, ’66 (right) be- fore the start of Sunday’s induction ceremony.

SidNey – after a full weekend of festivities, fun and fond reminisces, the Sid-ney central School alumni association’s annual all-class reunion wound down with a poignant luncheon and wall of Fame induction ceremony held on the morning of Sun-day, July 17 in the Sidney Fire hall.
at the start of the event, dozens of Sidney alum could be heard espying their for-mer classmates from across the hall and shouts of happy greeting—think cries of Omi-gosh! How many years has it been?!—could be heard all around, accompanied by many a hearty hug and clutched elbow as old friends reunited anew.
after tablefuls of genera-tions of warriors (including some of the littlest and new-est) made their way through the buffet-style lunch, the cer-emony began in earnest. Bry-an innes, emcee for the day and Sidney central School alumni association Vice president and class of ’01 alum, got things started with a brief presentation to a hand-ful 2016 ScSd scholarship recipients before welcoming the morning’s keynote speak-er, principal of Sidney high School, eben Bullock.

The following is the second in what will be a three-part series—told in six articles—, of voter “snapshots” taken from people belonging to a specific age-based demo-graphic in our area. each part will take an in-depth look at either young, first time voters; middle aged voters; or some of the community’s oldest, most experienced voters and examine the issues impor-tant to members of both the republican and democratic parties within that given de-mographic. anyone interested in being interviewed for the upcoming second and third voter snapshot (middle aged voters and oldest voters, re-

Stocker Cattle Summit to Come to WaltonwaLTON - cade (center
for agricultural development and entrepreneurship) has partnered with cornell Beef extension Specialist, Mike Baker, to host a stocker cattle summit. The summit will be held on Monday, July 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the watershed agricultural council’s first floor conference room, locat-ed at 44 west St. in walton.
The summit will introduce participants to the stocker cattle initiative, which was re-cently awarded $627,055 from N.y. State agriculture and Markets. The initiative being led by Mike Baker through cornell will provide southern tier farmers interested in rais-ing stocker cattle with train-ing and resources.
in addition, ken Jaffe of Slope Farms will share his ex-perience as a beef farmer, ag-gregator and marketer. Jaffe currently works with approxi-mately 20 stocker farms and sees great and growing oppor-
tunity for new and transition-ing farmers in stocker cattle.
Stocker cattle operations can increase a farm’s income while bringing idle pastures back into production. Stocker cattle are typically acquired as young lightweight calves that spend a summer graz-ing on pasture lands, which allows them to add weight inexpensively. at the conclu-sion of the grazing season, the stockers, as they are referred to, are usually sold to other farmers that finish the ani-mals to market weight.
a major appeal to growing stocker cattle is that the ven-ture requires minimal invest-ment in machinery and build-ings, creating a low barrier to entry. The only major require-ments are access to grazing lands, which can be leased, and the capital to purchase cattle.
“This project is especially exciting to me, because the stocker cattle enterprise is
one of the few agricultural businesses that beginning farmers can get involved in without a lot of overhead. what they do need is training and this project will provide intensive training to increase their opportunity for success,” said Baker, “i think it will also appeal to farmers look-ing to transition out of dairy production.”
There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. register at www.stocker-cattlesummit.eventbrite.com. Food and beverages will be served.
For more information on this event or about cade, contact Sonia Janiszewski, program Manager, at [email protected] or 433-2545.

Cemetery LoverS By tina(paBSt) utter and daLe utter (e-maiL: [email protected])
THE WORKSHOP
we have just returned from a two-week vacation explor-ing the american west. in our next few articles we will share with you some of what we have seen and learned from our great adventure!
On our way to Montana we decided to stop in greenfield, Ohio to attend a cemetery preservation and restoration workshop. On the way there we passed near Millersburg, holmes county, the heart of the Ohio amish country. This area was home to the amish families that have moved to the town of guilford. we were surprised how commercial the area is becoming and won-dered if this was a big reason for their departure. The farm-land is becoming scarcer, and ultimately, it will be a lot more expensive for the amish com-munity to expand.
The evening before the workshop we visited the Seip earthworks. Two thousand years ago, for several hundred years, this area was one of the most important cultural cen-ters in eastern North ameri-ca. here, the hopewell indian culture built huge ceremonial earthen complexes (burial mounds). This particular one, at one time, had “over two miles of embankment wall en-closing over 120 acres in the shape of two immense circles and a 27-acre square with as-
tronomical alignments.” al-though these people did not live in villages or practice large scale agriculture, they made tremendous progress in the arts and sciences. Tragi-cally, most of these mounds have been plowed over, leav-ing nothing behind. Like many cultures, these people seem to have disappeared into history.
at the workshop the next day we were warmly greeted by fellow cemetery enthusi-asts. The workshop was taught by Mark Morton - gravestone guardians of Ohio, a friend of ours from Facebook. The world of gravestone conser-vation and repair is a new and evolving field. we try to attend a workshop or confer-ence once a year to keep cur-rent on the latest techniques. Mark did an excellent job! we always learn new things that make our job easier and bet-ter. we saw a cleaning, reset, repair of a broken stone, and the use of a monument jack.
close to 20 people attended the workshop and were there for many reasons. One young man had found his ances-tor’s burial ground on private property. it wasn’t easy, but he now has permission as well as the knowledge to go in and restore these graves. The older women wanted to learn to clean stones. a few elderly gentlemen had fascinating stories about their genealogy
and wanted to learn the right way to care for stones. One man told us of his ancestral home, built in the 1700’s, still standing in the antietam Bat-tlefield. a few were from the greenfield historical Society.
after we left the workshop, we ventured into greenfield to visit the old burial grounds (pioneer cemetery.) The old-est stone was from 1816, with many stones from the 1820’s. as we looked around we were surprised to see a large num-ber of box tombs; we seldom see them in our area. They are large horizontal tablets set on four legs with panels set be-tween the legs.
we were taken aback when we looked at the stone wall and saw pieces of gravestones embedded into the wall every few feet. Typically we would not have condoned this, but these pieces would probably have been lost long ago if not placed there. The work was done very well and really looked good and was most interesting.
whenever we go to new places we are always wonder-ing what gravestone materi-als are being used. Typically at home we see sandstone, marble and granite, with the occasional metal marker. here we found a sandstone that was more finely grained and condensed than ours. we also found some stones that were more elaborately carved
than those found here; very beautiful pieces. The stone looked like dried clay. we think it may have been silt-stone, which we have never seen before. Other stones may have been limestone. Our ear-ly carvers used whatever local materials were close at hand to carve gravestones. So much to learn.
Scott anderson and John king are members of the greenfield historical Society and are the driving force be-hind the restoration of the pi-oneer cemetery in greenfield. They are doing a tremendous job resetting downed stones and repairing broken ones. it is gratifying to see their inter-est and hard work in bringing this old cemetery back to life. Thanks guys!
Through Facebook we have learned of other organiza-tions and people in Ohio, in-diana and kentucky that are out there actively working in cemeteries to restore them. The degradation of our cem-eteries is not confined to just our area. we suspect it is a national issue. The efforts of these people is not for mone-tary gain, but for the satisfac-tion of doing what needs to be done and seeing our cemeter-ies brought back to their past glory. it is a lasting tribute to all those who find it as their final resting place.
Good oLd dayS
MORRIS25 YEARS AGO
July 24, 1991
The Otsego county Fair in Morris was set to open on July 29 with lively harness racing, mule racing and tunes from grandpa wobbly’s Old Time Musical revue. Fol-lowing the 6 p.m. revue was a 7:15 performance by the pop-ular Midstatesmen Barber-shop chorus and city of the hills Sweet adelines chorus half of which, incidentally, just made an appearance at last week’s unadilla Summer concert Series.
Other highlights from the fair included a Tuesday eve-ning talent contest, the open milking parlor and pig racing, and the annual show of “the world’s largest horses,” the coor’s draft Belgians.
SIDNEY25 YEARS AGO
July 24, 1991Mirroring our own sum-
mer until just recently, it was reported in 1991 that, “people should not waster water, but there is no problem with the water supply in Sidney.” after questions arose because of limited hot water and little rain, Village engineer at the time, John woodyshek,
explained to residents that summer water usage was up by eleven percent since a year prior (1990) and that, while usage wasn’t about to be restricted, water should be used conscientiously all the same. Local law at the time dictated that residents should abstain from watering their lawns between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. “use water prudently,” advised wood-yshek. “if we see a significant downward trend, then we will impose whatever restrictions we feel will help.”
after a meeting of the Sid-ney industrial agency (ida), it was announced that a pro-posed relocation of the his-toric Landmark Ford Build-ing would prove too costly to affect. plans had been in the works to move the building to the Sidney industrial park when the ida was forced to abandon the project. instead, the building was demolished to make way for new con-struction that would become the dorothy & Lewis B. cullman child development center.
AFTON25 YEARS AGO
July 24, 1991a groundbreaking cer-
emony was hosted by the chenango housing improve-ment program, inc. (chip) on July 17 for the afton edge apartment complex located on rte. 7 in afton. The 24-unit elderly apartment complex was being funded through a variety of grants and loan funds. a reported 45 people were in attendance for the groundbreaking, includ-ing then-senator, Thomas Libous, who called the project an example of “people working together.” Mayor of afton at the time, c.d. hitch-cock, said, “The complex will give afton a real boost” and he praised afton for being a community that supports planning.
SIDNEY 75 YEARS AGO
July 24, 1941a reportedly ‘spectacular’
late night fire completely destroyed the reliable Body Shop works, owned by donald Mccumber. The fire, exasperated by the shop’s stocks of highly flammable paint, claimed three auto-mobiles awaiting repair in addition to the entirety of the building itself. Mccumber
had only purchased the build-ing, formerly used as storage, in 1940.
UNADILLA75 YEARS AGO
July 24, 1941James Stewart, a 36-year-
old Oneonta businessman at the time and unadilla native, was reported as captured by the germans when they tor-pedoed the egyptian liner, Zamzam. in the last week of July 1941, Stewart radioed his sons, david and william, to say that he had escaped the germans and was on his way home. Stewart, along with a man from Va., escaped from a german prison train by eluding a guard and posing as French railroad workers. after four grueling nights and three days of walking, thirst-ing and hungering, Stewart and his cohort arrived in the South of France. in a later in-terview, once back at home, Stewart reportedly said of his ordeal, “we followed the sound of croaking frogs, knowing there was water, and after you have gone three days without water, even a frog pond is a godsend.”

his outstanding character, in-tegrity and legendary coach-ing accomplishments. “But the thing that makes him so cool,” noted d’imperio, “is that he is a cowboy. amazing! a ripped-from-the-sports-headlines, living breathing, cowboy.” d’imperio con-tinued, saying, “he is living our dreams; his story is the dream of our youth.” call-ing washington “a leader of men,” d’imperio said, “he has cast a giant shadow and bootprint over the lives of many” and brought things full circle when he remarked that, “Many times one’s path, like the circle of life itself, bring you back, brings you home.”
carlos washington who, throughout d’imperio’s intro-duction wore a smile just as wide as the brim of his cow-boy hat, took to the podium to opine sagely that, “you don’t recognize the town you come from until you go away and then come back.” Saying that he was “surprised and esteemed” to be recognized, washington thanked first the Board, his parents and sib-lings, and his wife and cow-girl, Meranda. washington went on to thank the Sidney community as a whole, saying that it was the families of Sid-ney that made him what he is today. “They shaped a young man’s life.” he also thanked ScSd faculty and staff, but most especially the late doug Quinney (1946-2014), 32-year Sidney coach and educator. washington credited Quinney with his own coaching suc-cesses, saying, “he taught me compassion and competition. his was the example i tried to
put forward. i always knew i wanted to be a coach, and that was because of him.” To his mother, who attended Sun-day’s ceremony, and the de-parted Quinney, washington gave thanks for having been told the phrase that he called “the most powerful five words you can say to someone: ‘i am proud of you.’” “That hits the soul,” said washington, “it hits our core, it makes us bet-ter and makes us want to go on and do more.”
acknowledging his fam-ily’s entrance into the Sidney community during a time of racial tensions, washington, originally from alabama, said, “Sidney has something special. you opened your arms to us. i salute you.” gra-ciously, washington closed by saying to Sidney, “a village does make a child and you made me.” washington, who was being recognized for ex-cellence in entertainment and mentoring, asked the audience to then join him in a touching, a cappella rendition of “amer-ica the Beautiful.”
douglas Sheldon did pre-senter duty for a second time when he welcomed the day’s last honoree, Jon Jay deTem-ple, class of ’61. Sheldon re-called deTemple’s uncanny success on the football field during his time as an unde-feated warrior during his se-nior year, saying that, despite not being a classically gifted athlete, it was deTemple’s mentality that allowed him to shine. “when you use your mind, your spirit and your leadership to achieve unique and unusual things, even when not the greatest ath-
lete, you become the greatest winner,” said Sheldon of de-Temple. deTemple, who was inducted for his exemplary leadership in diversity and ac-cess in higher education, was also acknowledged by Shel-don for “winning the love of his students, the loyalty of his staff, the admiration of his professors and the trust of his trustees.”
in his own speech, deTem-ple shied away from talking about himself, saying instead, “i want to talk about grati-tude.” deTemple thanked a score of teachers, from all lev-els of his education, as well as coaches, calling them the peo-ple “who orchestrated oppor-tunities.” deTemple echoed those honorees who spoke be-fore him, calling Sidney “the town that built me.” recalling having grown up in Sidney, deTemple said, “There were so many people who cared about you; there was just role model after role model in this community.”
in closing, deTemple praised the alumni asso-ciation for “the way it brings people back…it just get bet-ter and better and it’s always about coming together.”
Like his philanthropically minded fellows, deTemple capped the inductions by urg-ing people, especially Sid-ney’s youth, to take the op-portunities they’ve been given by their school district, their families and their community, and demonstrate reciprocity, give back. rightly, deTemple said, “That’s the common thread of this induction class.”
WARRIORS CONT’D
From l-r, the 2016 SCSAA Wall of Fame inductees: Marshall Brooks, son of the late honoree, Stewart Brooks, ’42; Carlos Washington, ’76; Dr. Dominic “Nick” Nuciforo, Sr.; Dennis Porter, ’66 and Jon Jay DeTemple, ’61.
eration). amelia continued, saying, “people get discrimi-natory legislation passed in the argument that they’re pre-serving their religious free-dom and make the argument of separate church and state, but isn’t religion constitution-ally supposed to be separate from state? if you’re passing laws based on someone’s reli-gious views, you’re not keep-ing them separate.” (here amelia also noted that her parting gift from her senior participation in government teacher was a pocket consti-tution, which she has kept and since referenced.)
as the topic of the consti-tution turned to a discussion of separation of church and state, 19-year-old republican Miriam Thurber, formerly of Otego, struck a middle ground between her peers, recogniz-ing that, “Our country was, indeed, founded upon chris-tian values. The founding fa-thers were all christians, and their faith greatly contributed to the basis of our country’s values.” Thurber went on to say, “Today, however, our gov-ernment and nation as a whole are deeply separate from the church, and i don’t think that’s a bad thing. yes, if we were to get down to the very earliest roots and revive the early united States of amer-ica, we would need to have a christian governing body and christian laws. But we are no longer that country.” Thurber opined, “america is a nation whose religion is freedom. it’s on that principle that we should base all of our deci-sions. church and state have been separate for many, many, many years, thus the church shouldn’t have extreme influ-ence over the government’s decision. Believing and liv-ing as such in no way negates anyone’s religion or beliefs. we are a nation composed of free individuals, and it’s that freedom that allows many of
us to fully embrace the love of our Lord in a public way. and that’s a beautiful thing i will forever be thankful for.” in consideration of the presi-dency, Thurber added, “if a like-minded individual were to take office, i would defi-nitely celebrate! But even if someone calls himself/herself a christian, it’s not the title that has meaning, rather the lifestyle and witness of the individual. as i said before, i want to see a qualified indi-vidual in office. if that means a Believer is elected, then great! if not, then that’s still fine. we were founded as a nation under god, and it’s im-portant to remember that. But we no longer function as such, thus a christian leader is not as necessary today as it was at the beginning.”
On this subject, Manzanero spoke more baldly, saying, “Faith has its place, but not in politics. Faith has no relation to running the government, or the economy. Voting for someone based on their faith neglects all the beliefs of all the other people who do not follow the same religion.” recognizing america’s well-touted melting pot reputation, Manzanero added, “as a di-verse nation, our government, and our school system as well, has no room for religion be-cause religion is something that should be personal and not be forced upon people through their president’s or school system’s beliefs.
asked for a take-away reac-tion to the april 19 NyS pres-idential primary results and the likelihood of a clinton vs. Trump race come November, Manzanero said in closing, “i think in today’s society peo-ple are always in a hurry. This translates to politics [wherein] radicals like Trump win big like he did [here], because people want to see a rapid change in the economy and government. Trump is differ-
ent from many other candi-dates because he literally says anything he wants—even if 75 percent of the time it isn’t true—in order to get votes. Trump promises change that is quick, which just isn’t pos-sible in the complexity of to-day’s economy. This promise and his radical ideas, however, lead to many people voting for him because they want to hurry economic and political change and they think Trump is a man who is willing to do or say just about anything to do that. i have no doubt that Trump is a man willing to say or do anything for change, but i also know that Trump is a man who is not concerned about the consequences of his actions.”
On the same subject, ahearn said, “First of all, i hate that downstate gets to de-cide every election. it makes it feel like the people upstate don’t matter or deserve a voice.” referencing alleged voter turn-away, ‘lost’ ballots, and enrollment mix-ups in april, ahearn added, “Sec-ondly, there was definitely some voter hocus pocus going on behind the scenes during the primary.”
with specific regard to the all-but-decided eventuality of the presidency coming down to either Trump or clinton, ahearn (an ardent Sand-ers supporter), said baldly, “Trump is crazy…unless we want another world war and genocide, people shouldn’t vote for him. [people] like to read about the apocalypse, but we’ll be living it soon if we’re not careful with our politics.” calling Trump “the num-ber one threat to america,” ahearn, said in closing that, despite not being blanketly for clinton, “i’m with her, be-cause Trump is terrifying.”

Fluke Explosion in Masonville Claims House, Injures ResidentsMaSONViLLe – On July
13, at approximately 9:25 p.m., the NyS police, in con-junction with the delaware county Fire coordinators, in-vestigated a fire/explosion that occurred at the kela charles residence at 3949 State rte 206 in Masonville.
emergency responders ar-rived on-scene to find the home completely destroyed by the explosion and the wreck-age still heavily engulfed in fire. Multiple burn-related in-juries were reported. Mutual aid assistance was called in from numerous fire depart-ments from the surrounding area including Sidney, Sidney center, Bainbridge, Frank-lin, Masonville and Trout creek, representing three counties: delaware, Otsego
and Broome. unadilla, de-posit and walton crews were placed on mutual aid stand-by. additionally, ambulance units from Masonville, Trout creek, Sidney eMS and coo-perstown Medical Transport responded and were on the scene.
resident Shayne charles, age 31, sustained the acci-dent’s worst injuries, requir-ing an airlift via LifeNet78 to the burn unit at upstate Medical university hospital in Syracuse following on-site administrations by Mason-ville eMS. Two passersby re-moved charles from the resi-dence. reportedly, charles had been in the basement of the residence at the time of the explosion, attempting to ignite a propane hot water heater lo-cated in the part of the house.
kerry Vaccaro, age 29, of Mt. upton, was outside of the residence at the time of the explosion and was ground-transported to wilson Memo-rial hospital in Johnson city by cMT.
charles is an employee of asplundh Tree experts and Vaccaro is employed by am-phenol aerospace.
kela charles, age 53, of Masonville, sustained minor burns and refused medical treatment for those, choosing instead to remain on-scene to speak to an investigator.
The fire was brought under control at approximately 11:15 p.m. and an excavator was called to the scene to move heavy debris and better allow firefighters to extinguish the smoldering remains, before fire investigators from dela-
ware county department of emergency Services and del-aware county cause & Origin Team arrived began conduct-ing their investigation. inves-tigators reportedly cleared the scene at 11 a.m. on the morn-ing of Thursday, July 14.
The cause of the explosion is as-yet-unknown, though it was determined to be ac-cidental in nature. The cause remains under investigation.
in the days following the explosion, the Facebook ac-counts of family members were rife with offers of sup-port, prayers, unofficial up-dates on the health and status of those affected and remind-ers of how quickly things can change, and with little to no warning. No official updates were available, however, on the state of the victims.
Barb and Mike hill wel-come their twelfth grandchild, a boy, hutson Michael, born July 15 to Travis and crystal Michaud of hardwick, Vt. he was joined at home by broth-er, hunter, and sisters, haley and hadley. grandma Barb is spending some time help-ing out and getting acquainted with the new arrival.
Jim and Jan Johnson wel-comed a grandson, Zachary James, born July 8 to Matt and katelyn pavia of rochester. Zachary was welcomed home by big sister, two-year-old ga-briella, affectionately known as “gigi.”
dean and Judy Veenhof re-cently visited family in South dakota and also attended dean’s 55th high school re-union in edgerton, Minn.
Mariah, granddaughter of duane and Linda Bliss, grad-uated from the St. Joseph’s college of Nursing in Syra-cuse on May 15, with an asso-ciate’s degree in applied Sci-ence. She was also named to the dean’s List for the spring semester.
Meghan and Lyla garcia of westwood, N.J. were recent visitors of her parents, dean and Judy Veenhof.
Bright and early Monday morning, charlene heis-tler, hunter christian, isaiah Stockdale, Mike O’connor, Michael Birdsall, Nina d’amato, Mark and Lucas piedmonte, of gilbertsville, along with Jack Vunk, and Sam and Joan Loeffler, of the garrattsville presbyterian church, boarded an eastern Travel Bus driven by dean Veenhof to head off to the Tri-ennium youth conference at purdue university, located in west Lafayette, ind. They will be picking up other youth and adults from the Binghamton and utica areas for the trip. a total of 38 teens and adults will be making the trip.
The pie sale held Saturday at the Farmer’s Market by the gilbertsville and garrattsville presbyterian churches was a huge success. The group cer-tainly appreciated all of the pie bakers and buyers that day, as everything was gone by 11:30 a.m.!
Nate Fuller of Mt upton is currently in upstate Medical in Syracuse recovering from injuries received in a freak ac-cident on Sunday, July 8. he was painting a truck’s flatbed trailer when it fell on him. he was in the surgical icu un-til Friday, but is in a regular surgical room now. he had a fractured skull and broken rib, some fractures in his back, but thankfully not his spine. he also had four broken bones in his jaw and had a six-hour surgery to repair it by placing plates and wiring his jaw shut. he is certainly in need of our prayers and get-well wishes for a speedy recovery. Nate graduated from gMu in 2015.
halbert reunion: 53 guests and descendants of the em-mett and Julia (Blore) halbert family gathered for their 61st reunion on July 9 at Millbrook Beach and campground in New Berlin. Some swimming and fishing was sandwiched in between the heavy rain showers. a covered-dish din-ner was enjoyed, along with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.
at the age of 92, Zula Tay-lor of elmira was the oldest person in attendance. The youngest person present was two-month-old Magdalena Mae, daughter of Michael and Trisha Jaquay of red Lion, pa. Traveling the farthest was gary and Michelle prentice of humble, Tex. Other long dis-tance travelers included Mar-cia allen, of Sebring, Fla. and Linda cunniff, of avon park, Fla.
The magic number for births, marriages and deaths reached three apiece; by unanimous approval, presi-dent roger halbert, Vice president richard halbert and Secretary/Treasurer roberta halbert were returned to their high-paying jobs.
it was voted to change next year’s gathering to the third Saturday of July, tentatively scheduled at the same loca-tion. The food committee will consist of kim halbert, Steve prentice, Jodi Smith and Jeff T. halbert.

i thought this was a neat note on the Salada Tea Bag tab: “Failure is not defeat until one stops trying.”
all last week Vacation Bible School was at the Ma-sonville Federated church. The weather was great and the turnout very good. The children enjoyed crafts, bi-ble study, music, snacks and games. all had a good time and the staff did a great job with the children. The closing program, complete with ice cream treats, was enjoyed by all on Friday evening. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a good time.
The Masonville Library is open for your summer needs and has lots of fiction and non-fiction books to enjoy under a shade tree or just at home re-
laxing. They have many other items you may benefit from, also. Library hours are: closed Mondays; Tuesdays, wednes-days and Thursdays, 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Fridays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. un-til 2 p.m. enjoy your library: it is there for your use. here on the farm: the fellas have been very busy getting the equip-ment ready to do some dry round bales. The weather has been very good for getting dry hay done and some wrapped bales also. we have gotten some much-needed rain, but there has been damage done in some places, too. The trac-tors have been so busy trying to keep up with the haying and everything else they are used for, that they are in need of work. hopefully the fellas
will get more dry hay done this week; the second cutting is getting ready in some fields, but is coming quite slow in others.
The cows were tested for how much milk they are pro-ducing and are doing well despite the hot and humid weather. we all hope every-one is coping well with the humidity this past week. it is hard to work in it, but the hay doesn’t wait. as the saying goes: make hay when the sun shines.
Stay safe and keep well, farmers; we don’t want to hear of accidents on the farms. Summer school will be start-ing soon; good luck to all stu-dents who have to go.
Birthday greetings this week go out to Michael
pritchard on July 21; Bob Ostrander, Jeff rude and Jus-tin Burpoe on July 22; Mary Murray Steele and Brigadier general peter palmer on July 23; John wilcox and ken ryan on July 26; Joe caperna on July 27; Barbara wagner and kim axtell Mckown on July 28 and Bobbi Jo Lent and emalea Jade elizabeth har-rington on July 29. have a great day, everyone.

Sidney’s Troop 99 Holds Spring Court of Awards
SidNey - Sidney Troop 99 Scouts held their spring court of awards and picnic recently. The troop supplied hot dogs and rolls and families all brought dishes to pass. No one went away hungry.
awards included two cat-egories. in the first, Merit Badges, awards were distrib-uted as follows: Law: Zack pope, chase Sutliff and Jesse Bitner; auto Maintenance: chase Sutliff; game design: Jess Bitner; chess: Matt kan-zer, parker hinkley; wade dean received citizenship in the community, physical Fitness and environmental Science; chase Sutliff: Fish-ing and Farm Mechanics; Joe Foster: First aid.
in the second category, “rank advancements,” were: “Scout:” andy klopchin and Linus Bitner; “Tenderfoot:” Matt kanzer and charlie wil-son; “Second class:” parker hinkley; “First class:” Joe Foster and parker hinkley; in addition, hinkley was award-ed the “12 Month camper award” for sleeping out in camp for twelve consecutive months.
highlighting the event was an expression of appreciation
to Joyce curtin, who is retir-ing from the exacting position of advancement chair after many years of service at that post. perhaps the most impor-tant adult office, it involves tracking all levels of rank and badge accomplishments and requires that all scouts are rewarded for their work. Our great appreciation, Joyce.
Many thanks also to the Sidney elks for the use of their pavilion.
Members of Troop 99 are: Jesse Bittner, Linus Bitner, Joe Foster, parker hinkley, Matt hoskins, Matthew kanzer, Logan kinter, andy klop-chin, angel Marquez, Zach-ary pope, chase Sutliff, char-lie Thiel, Joe Thiel, charlie wilson and patrick Zuk.

Boy Scouting is for any 11 through 17 year old, regardless of pre-vious scouting experience.

Sidney’s Own American Legion Riders to Host Inaugural Poker Run Fundraiser, July 30
SidNey – Members of the recently assembled ameri-can Legion riders, post 183, formed in May of 2015 by cur-rent president, gene Schoeck, are revving up their engines and polishing the chrome fenders of their bikes in prep-aration of the club’s inaugural poker run, set for July 30.
The local club boasts sev-enteen current members, all also members of either the american Legion, Sons of the american Legion or the american Legion auxiliary. The offshoot known as the american Legion riders was first formed by two Legion members, chuck dare and Bill kaledas, in garden city, Mich. in 1993. Today, there are over 106,000 american Legion riders spread out across the nation amongst 1,000 active chapters.
Beyond the black leather, patch-embellished vests, a fierce sense of patriotism, and, or course, motorcycle riding, the american Legions riders are also well known for their charitable work, raising funds for local children’s hospitals, schools, veteran’s homes, and severely wounded servicemen and –women. They also award annual scholarships. as a service, Legion riders escort
outbound military units to de-parture airfields and airports prior to overseas combat tours and, upon the soldiers’ hoped-for return, the Legion riders welcome them home. They ride to honor fallen military men and women in memoriam and work to protect the sanc-tity of military funerals.
here at home, the Sid-ney chapter of the aLr has made aiding Operation com-fort warriors its mission. all funds raised by the July 30 poker run will benefit Op-eration comfort warriors, a program dedicated to meeting the needs of wounded, injured or ill military personnel by providing them with comfort items not typically supplied by the government (sweat suits, dVds, puzzles, elec-tronic devices, calling cards, books and more). addition-ally, Ocw works to provide wounded soldiers with larger recreational equipment like ping pong tables and kayaks, and big-ticket items such as computers and entertainment centers.
The July 30 event will be-gin at 10 a.m. and riders will take to the open road from the Sidney american Legion to cruise a five-stop route, picking up a playing card at
each pit stop. The object of the poker run is to have the best poker hand at its conclu-sion. The Sidney chapter’s route will take them from Sidney through the Trout creek american Legion, delhi american Legion and Franklin american Legion, ultimately finishing back in Sidney.
gene Schoek, chapter pres-ident, has been at the helm of event organizations, aided all the while by his wife and club public affairs officer, Joann. in her role, Joann was respon-sible for soliciting donations from area businesses to both help the cause and offset the operational costs of the run. Though the Schoecks presid-ed over the conception and ex-ecution of the club’s first-ever poker run, Joann was quick to point out that, “all members of the post were involved in the planning and organization of the run.”
There is no pre-registration required for participation in this fun and charitable event. Simply hop astride your bike and head down to the Sidney american Legion, located at 22 union St. on the morning of Saturday, July 30.
