FROM
N.Y. STATE SENATOR
JAMES L. SEWARD
Senate Says Thank You To Veterans
The New York State Senate recently took time to honor
World War II veterans by
adopting a special resolution
commemorating the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion
of Normandy. That day, June
6, 1944, marked the beginning
of the liberation of Europe and
the eventual end of World War
II.
Along with honoring the
courageous servicemen who
turned the tide of world history, the senate also passed a
legislative package to provide
tax relief, expanded benefits,
and special honors to all of
the men and women who have
helped protect our freedoms
and way of life.
Among the bills receiving
senate approval was a measure
I sponsored (S.3572A) that
would exempt veteran’s organizations from paying taxes on
heating fuel. Currently, religious and charitable organizations are exempt from paying
tax on non-highway diesel
motor fuel used for heating
purposes. However, veterans
groups are required to pay the
tax up front and apply for a
refund.
My bill, which was prompted by a request from veterans
in Worcester in my district,
would remove a layer of bureaucracy and save veterans
groups a few dollars. These
organizations do so much
for the men and women who
served our nation, and also
play an active role in many
community events and organizations, saving them a few
dollars and some paperwork is
the least we can do.
I am hopeful that my bill
and the others, which were all
adopted with unanimous approval by the senate, will also
be passed by the state assembly
and sent to the governor for his
consideration. The legislative
package is comprehensive and
offers a small thank you to all
our veterans.
Tax Relief for Veterans
S3931 - Extends the alternative veterans’ property tax exemption by local option to active members of the military.
Currently, only honorably discharged veterans are eligible
for the exemption.
S4136A - Helps disabled
veterans by authorizing local governments to provide
a property tax exemption to
100-percent-disabled veterans
who served in a combat theatre
or combat zone of operations,
or their unmarried surviving
spouses.
S6781 - Encourages more
school districts to authorize a
veterans’ property tax exemption by giving school districts
the authority to repeal the benefit in the event of a negative
change to the district’s economic circumstances. Some
districts have not enacted the
tax exemptions for veterans
because of concerns it could
not be reversed in the future if
the need arose.
Expanding
Veterans’
Benefits
S1963 - Allows those with
military service and an honorable discharge to attend
classes at the State University
of New York (SUNY) and the
City University of New York
(CUNY) on a tuition-free audit basis.
S1978 - Makes college more
affordable for those in military
service by including active
duty and honorably discharged
veterans who attend college
under the new GI bill within
the definition of resident for
in-state tuition eligibility at
community colleges and stateaided four-year colleges.
S7617A - Allows veterans
holding a federal Golden Access Passport or federal Access
Pass to access state recreational facilities free of charge.
S5735A - Requires the Division of Veteran Affairs to
maintain a fact sheet on their
website containing contact
information for all veterans’
integrated service networks
located within the state and
contact information for the
United States veterans health
administration.
Honoring Veterans and their
Families
S4198 - Establishes a
“Bronze Star Recipient” and
“Silver Star Recipient” license
plate to be issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles
upon proof that the applicant
is a Bronze or Silver Star recipient, or the spouse of a
recipient.
S3869 - Provides legal protections for veterans’ memorials in New York State by
establishing official recognition for the importance these
memorials serve in honoring
the sacrifices of our veterans.
The bill is in response to actions taken by some municipalities and school districts
that removed war memorials
from their property without
providing for the preservation,
moving or replacement of the
memorial.

History records changes
which we often take for granted on a daily basis. Sometimes it’s important to reflect
on these changes to help us
make better decisions today.
Here are just a few that people
living today have seen in our
own lifetime.
-from power of horse to
vehicles with many horse
powers
-from kerosene lamps and
candles to electrification of our
nearby hillsides in the 1940s
-from a huge phone hanging
on the wall to cell phones that
go everywhere with us
-from iceboxes to refrigerators to freezers and even
freeze-dried foods
-from
clamp-on-the-foot
roller skates to roller blades
and now skate boards
-from earth travel to airplanes and jets, a trip to the
moon
Now we are poised at
the front edge of another
big change. A little like the
Wright brothers and their first
airplane. This time, it’s renewable energy-solar, wind,
geothermal and more. We’ve
enjoyed oil and gas for about
150 years. We worked hard
to bring fossil fuels up out of
the earth like we worked hard
with our horses of the past.
But we’re learning some huge
downsides of gas and oil-their damage to our land, to
our health, to our children’s
health, to our communities.
That’s why I’m puzzled
about the two large organizations-Constitution
Pipeline
and Tennessee Pipeline- not
based in our community, that
want to put not just one, but
two, pipelines side-by-side
across our precious land. Why
are they doing this? They’re
not offering us much money
for the use of our land. They
don’t have many jobs to offer
us even in the short run. Business practice demands they sell
their gas to the highest market,
likely overseas. We know
pipelines carry unhealthy energy. They know the damage
they have caused and continue
to cause in Texas, Colorado,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and
other places.
Are they just trying to make
one last big money grab for
investors before they die out?
I don’t have all of the details,
but I know they are looking
into one thing that has not
changed. That is the strength
and vision of our people, pioneers from way back. We will
not be fooled by bribes or
sweet talk. We want clean air,
water and land for our future,
for our current businesses. I
believe we have a vision for
our future and are ready to
take action to move from a
“horse-and-buggy fossil fuel
energy” to the renewable energies of the future including
wind, solar, and geothermal.

Frog Pond Farm Is Spotlighted As
Afton CofC Business of the Month
AFTON - The Greater Afton Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to spotlight
a local business that has become a landmark attraction in
our area.
In the summer of 1987, with
an abundance of large gray
Hubbard squash, Ronald and
Karen Nixon brought Frog
Pond Farms into existence. Today, the full-service produce
supplier on Route 7 just west
of Bainbridge, is a far cry from
the small table of produce and
tin can used to conduct business in those first days.
The “Frog Pond”, as it has
fondly become known, draws
its customers from all over
the southern tier and beyond.
They are open from April until just after Halloween each
year, and many will admit to
the excitement of “Opening
Day” and the feeling of loss
when the ‘season’ is over in
early November. Drawn by
the full variety of seasonal
produce, much of it local, of
only the best quality, customers come each year ready to
start their gardens, vegetable
and flower, or just to buy the
fresh vine ripened fruits and
vegetables.
Produce isn’t all that draws
people to Frog Pond Farms.
Ron Nixon probably underestimates the curiosity factor
that his verbal calculations
of each customers purchase
plays in pulling in new business. It is pure ‘show biz’.
No matter how large the order, Ron mentally calculates
each item’s price and then
adds it to the previous item,
speaking the total aloud as it
accrues. Paper and pencil are
never seen, but one cannot experience this wonder without
going away amazed. Ron has
done this year after year, until recently when it was time
for his son, Sean, to take the
reins. The apple doesn’t fall
far from the tree, and a tradition continues.
Karen is also a driving force
of this business. She can be
seen running around keeping
their large staff on their toes
loading and unloading bed-
ding plants and produce in the
spring and mums and pumpkins in the fall. Karen is now
handing over some of her duties to their daughter, Ronda.
In addition to growing
things of the plant kingdom,
Frog Pond Farms grows and
sells hogs, providing in excess
of 200 piglets each spring.
One can also find Hereford
cattle, chickens (providing
fresh eggs), rabbits, etc. as
one explores the property.
Children especially enjoy accompanying their parents on
their shopping trips. There
are farm animals for them to
watch and enjoy, a corn bin
for them to play in, seasonal
displays and at times, lots of
mud. They even serve freshly
made donuts each Saturday.
The Frog Pond Farm’s “experience” is open seven days
a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
It continues to be a “family”
business enjoyed by families of
all kinds who shop there. Cash
is the payment of choice (no
credit cards) and friendliness,
parking and service are free.
SIDNEY - Sidney Historical Association will have a
business meeting on Tuesday,

The end of the school
year will soon be here with
final exams and commencement. The present, original
brick building was erected
in 1908 to replace the old
wooden Union School and
Academy, which stood behind it. The new building
was designed by T. I. Lacey,
a noted architect from
Binghamton. It was built by
M.I. Ford, as recorded on
the cornerstone.
About 1930, an addition
was built on the front side
of the square brick original.
This was brand new when
I began school in 1931. It

space. The auditorium had
been on the third floor of the
original building. This, then new, part has been replaced by still newer additions.
The “Aftonian” yearbook for 1920 has pictures of the Board of Education. The three men were Dr. W.
Lee Dodge, Will Hall, and Harry Horton. Dr. Dodge delivered me at my birth and his daughter, Marie
Eckler, was my math teacher. Her twin, Alice, was also a teacher.
The faculty consisted of nine teachers including the Principal, Leon H. Coon, the only male. He
also taught classes. Each of the four grade teachers had two grades each. In high school, Latin and
French, Mathematics and English, and History and Biology were taught. I believe that one janitor did
all of the upkeep of the building. Florence Carr was still teaching seventh grade when I was in school
and her daughter, Harriet Carr Van Valkenburg was later a teacher.
The graduating seniors in 1920 were all women. As a freshman, Howard French had died, arid the
yearbook is dedicated to him. A poem about him is found on the back of the title page. The Dodge
twins and Dorathy Shaw are the members whom I knew. Dorathy Shaw Gregory was the mother of
Philip Gregory, one of my young playmates.
Two groups of Camp Fire Girls are pictured. There is a brief history of Troop No. 1 of the Boy Scouts
of America. The yearbook was financed by area businessmen, many of whom I remember. The printing was done by the “Afton Enterprise.”
The Alma Mater was an entirely different one from what we sing now. A series of jokes about the
students seem very corny now.

Father’s Day – Sunday,
June 15
Father’s Day is Sunday,
June 15 and here is a little
history about Father’s Day.
Father’s Day was conceived
slightly more than a century
ago by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash. as she listened to
a sermon on Mother’s Day in
1909. Sonora then wanted a
special day to honor her father
as he raised his six children on
his own. A day in June was
chosen for the first Father’s
Day celebration on June 17,
1910 proclaimed by Spokane’s mayor. President Lyndon Johnson, who designated
the third Sunday in June as
Father’s Day, issued the first
presidential proclamation honoring fathers. Father’s Day has
been celebrated annually since
1972 when President Richard
Nixon signed the public law
that made it permanent.
If you haven’t bought a
special gift for your dad here
are some great gift ideas without spending a whole lot of
money. You don’t have to buy
expensive gifts to show your
love and appreciation.
If you have teenagers, have
them do some yard work that
Dad usually does such as
mowing the lawn, weeding,
etc. While the yard work is being done dad can have some
time to watch a baseball game
or something else he would
like to do.
I am sure Dad would like
his car washed by his children.
No cost for this gift.
Make a special dinner or
have a barbecue instead of
eating out.
Bake Dad his favorite cake
or pie.
Make a Father’s Day card
instead of buying one in the
store. A card that is made will
show Dad how much he is
appreciated.
Create lots of coupons; on
each coupon write something
like “get a free hug”, “free
car wash” “breakfast in bed”
or anything you think your
dad would like. Then put all
the coupons in a decorated
box and then give it to Dad.
These coupons can be used
anytime he wants during the
year, so Father’s Day will be
celebrated for Dad throughout
the year.
Clean the garage for Dad.
One thing, make sure you put
everything back where you
found it.
Write a letter to your dad
telling him how important and
wonderful he is as a dad. After
writing the letter put the letter
in a frame. You can purchase
frames in a Dollar Store for a
dollar. This is a gift Dad will
treasure forever.
If your dad goes to church
on Sunday go with him on
Father’s Day, he will really
appreciate it.
If you do have some extra
money and your dad is a senior citizen, as most seniors
are on a limited income, buy a
gift card for gasoline. Another
idea would be to pay something on his heating bill, electric bill, cable bill or any other
bill he might have. Dad would
really appreciate the help.
If you have any money saving tips or ideas, please e-mail
me at kay01267@gmail.com.
Till next time have a great
week, enjoy the warm weather
and to all dads, have a Happy
Father’s Day.

BOCES Collaborative Efforts Leads
To Savings for Our Area Schools
NORWICH - New York State
aid to local school districts is
challenging leaders and administrators to maximize resources
and reduce costs. DCMO BOCES has announced proactive
initiatives by local school districts that will result in administrative cost savings. District
Superintendent Bill Tammaro
commented about the newest
initiatives to take place in 2014;
“School districts like Oxford,
Greene, Sidney and Norwich
will benefit from sharing administrative support this year.
The savings come back to the
community not only by reducing overhead cost but also by
State Aid funding that is granted
to those school districts willing
to embrace collaboration.”
Additional efforts are underway commented Tammaro,
“We are developing a machinist program with BainbridgeGuilford Central School along
with the support of Amphenol
for high school students as
well as adults.” Tammaro also
added that BOCES is working
with Sidney Central School
to develop a Project Lead the
Way Computer Science program. Sidney Central School
currently offers engineering
through Project Lead the Way.
“Both programs are open to all
component school districts, increasing opportunities for their
students,” said Tammaro.
Tammaro’s comment acknowledges the proactive efforts between the Oxford and
Greene school districts, who
will continue to share the administrative services of the Director of Transportation. Likewise, the cost savings effort will
also benefit the Norwich and
Sidney schools that will share
the Special Education Services
Director. “Both initiatives are
rewarded not only by the cost
reduction of administrative
expenses, but also by the opportunity to route savings and
added State aid funds towards
student centered resources such
as teachers and students tools,”
said Tammaro.
Beyond local school districts
collaborations, BOCES is currently working with Pathfinder
Village on workforce readiness education that will impact
young and adult learners with
the confidence and knowledge
to enter the job market. Pathfinder Village is a successful
regional resource to those with
Down Syndrome and other disabilities to engage and achieve
independence.
Cooperative arrangements
are nothing new for local
schools, but with today’s funding challenges and the need to
save taxpayer money, schools
can count on BOCES to find
more opportunities to share
cost and reduce operations and
administrative costs.
BOCES continues to find
ways to help districts reduce
costs. “Our cooperative purchasing agreement can save
schools money when they buy
food, fuel, supplies, and other items. Every dollar saved
through collaboration brings
more resources to our kids,”
said Tammaro. He also commented that the purchasing service encourages a regional bidding process and offers schools
greater buying power.
Beyond collaborative services, 40% of local high school
students receive career and
technical training at the local
BOCES. The organization also
offers an alternative high school
for at-risk students; supports a
distance-learning network so
students can share classes with
others throughout the region;
and has a large special-education division, educating disabled children in local schools.
Substitute-teaching
services
and training workshops are
among the many other services
local schools can tap into at
BOCES.
Tammaro urged community
members to take a closer look
at BOCES resources and to
celebrate the efforts of districts
exploring collaborative services to manage costs and bring
more resources to the education
endeavors of our community.
The DCMO Board of Coop-
erative Educational Services
provides more than $43 million
in shared educational services
to 16 school districts in Delaware, Chenango, Madison and
Otsego counties. BOCES is an
established resource for forging cooperative agreements. A
copy of the DCMO BOCES
Annual Report is available to
the community. To request a

Summit To Bring Together
Employers and Educators
ONEONTA — What if students graduating from regional
colleges and universities were
properly trained for available
jobs in the region? And what
if area students could be on a
pathway toward those careers
when they graduated high
school?
Career Opportunities in Rural
Education (CORE) is inviting
education and business leaders
to help make those possibilities
a reality, creating a pipeline of
qualified workers that begins in
local school districts, funnels
through area colleges and leads
into the regional workforce. An
Education/Workforce Summit
is planned from 9 a.m. to noon,
June 18, at Morris Hall on the
SUNY Oneonta campus to begin the collaborative thinking
toward that pipeline. The event
is cosponsored by the Otsego
County Chamber of Commerce
and the County of Otsego Industrial Development Agency.
“Through this summit, we
hope to bring together all the
pieces of the economic development puzzle in Chenango,
Delaware and Otsego counties
to see how they can all fit together,” CORE Director Liz
Rickard said.
CORE, whose partners include more than 20 businesses, school districts, colleges
and legislators, is an initiative
launched in 2011 by Milford
Central School to serve as a regional hub for educational opportunities and career advancement. “These school districts
are forward thinking and innovative in how they approach
learning opportunities for their
students,” Rickard said.
In addition to establishing a
community-centered physical
and virtual network of adult education courses and career advancement training programs,
CORE works to create relationships between area employers and educators to produce
a valuable workforce. Ideally,
area business leaders would
partner with school officials
to help develop school curriculum, so the skills of young
people entering the workforce
would match what employers
Three Locals
Graduate From
Clarkson
POTSDAM - The following students graduated from
Clarkson University on May
10, 2014:
Gerald F. Frasco of Otego,
received a bachelor of science
degree with distinction in electrical engineering, physics.
Shawn E. Innes of Bainbridge, received a bachelor
of science degree in environmental engineering, civil
engineering.
Gregory J. Stewart of Unadilla, received a bachelor of
science degree in mechanical
engineering.
are looking for.
“We want to provide students with an education relevant to the workforce needs of
our area, so students can come
out of school qualified for regional jobs that will provide
good wages,” said Brian Hunt,
superintendent of Edmeston
Central School.
Hunt has joined forces with
Milford and Laurens school
districts to launch a variety of
STEM-related courses. The districts plan to share resources so
they can offer the courses to a
broader range of students at the
middle and high school levels.
The courses include advanced
manufacturing, biomedical and
engineering classes.
Rickard said it is imperative
that area school districts make
connections with Hartwick
College, Mohawk Valley and
Herkimer Community colleges,
and SUNY schools at Oneonta,
Delhi and Cobleskill.
“School districts need to
make links with higher education so students can be prepared
to excel in established college
programs,” Rickard said.
Rickard said she hopes representatives from colleges and
universities in the area will attend the summit to see how they
can partner with high schools
to offer college-credit bearing
courses.
“Colleges and universities
can really help shape what their
incoming students have under
their belts by not only helping
them earn college credits in
high school, but also getting
them headed down career paths
earlier,” she said.
During the summit, participants will hear from school
district leaders on the efforts
being made in K-12 to prepare
students for college and career.
Their remarks will be followed
by a panel discussion on how to
create a workforce pipeline.

and a business that has played
a role in many lives, including
her own. “They have helped
so many who could not afford
appliances when money was
tight.” She also praised longtime VEP employees Amy
Hamilton and Sean Paiment.
In accepting the recognition for VEP, Andy Matviak
said he had been “blessed to
work with good people.” He
also spoke of the great support
he had from his wife Sue and
family over the years as the
business continued to grow.
He thanked his employees,
as well as the many people
who had had a positive influence on his life. As the business grew and expanded, he
said the Internet changed the
business climate for his business and many others. It provided opportunities for people
to purchase items from other
areas making it even more imperative that local businesses
provide outstanding service.
He encouraged people to “purchase from your local businesses”; pointing out that it is
these businesses that support
the community groups and
activities.
Tim Cutting, chamber president, presented the chamber’s
Citizen of the Years award to
Barry Cole. Cutting praised
Barry for his many years
of dedicated service to the
community.
Recognition of Cole from
the Village of Sidney came
from Andy Matviak, who
changed hats to go from storeowner to mayor. He presented
a proclamation declaring June
6, 2014 “Barry Cole Day in the
Village of Sidney.” He spoke
of Barry’s many volunteer efforts in the community saying, “You help make Sidney a
community to be proud of.”
Town of Sidney Supervisor
Eugene Pigford said Barry is
always there to help the community, especially in a crisis.
He praised both Barry and his
wife Marie for their support
of the community, especially
through their volunteer work
with the Salvation Army. He
described Barry as not only
working hard to help his
community, but also being
both “quiet and insightful” as
he goes about his volunteer
efforts.
State Senator Seward and
Rodney Decker, representing
the N.Y.State Assembly, provided state recognition.
Prefacing his recognition of
Barry, Senator Seward praised
the Sidney Chamber of Commerce for promoting Sidney
and working to help Sidney
“move forward.” He said it
was a “pleasure to work with
all of those involved in the
Amphenol package and the
state funding for the flood
recovery efforts. He spoke of
Barry being “a great citizen of
the community, always there

Merge Sports Programs
AFTON/HARPURSVILLE
– Afton and Harpursville
student-athletes will become
teammates in several sports
beginning this fall.
The two schools will
collaborate in football, track
and field, boys’ soccer,
cross country, bowling and
cheerleading.
The Bainbridge-Guilford/
Afton/Harpursville wrestling
team, which combined last
season, will continue.
It will be Afton’s first foray
into football since 2003,
when it combined forces with
Bainbridge-Guilford.
The
B-G/A combined program
ran from 1988 to 2003.
Harpursville football coach
Tim Petras, who will remain
the coach of the combined
football club, expects about
fifteen players from Afton
to play varsity football this
season. With his current group
of Hornets, the varsity roster
will boast 35 in number.
Harpursville/Afton (which
has yet to decide on a nickname
for the combined teams)
will compete in Section IV’s
Division VII Conference for
football with Class D schools
Candor,
Seton
Catholic
Central, Oxford and Tioga.

FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
By Rev. Thomas Pullyblank
Sidney United Methodist Church
Walking along the beach of Lake Galilee, Jesus saw two
brothers: Peter and Andrew. They were fishing, throwing their
nets into the lake. It was their regular work. Jesus said to them,
“Come with me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you.
I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and
bass.” They didn’t ask questions, but simply dropped their nets
and followed.
-Matthew 4: 18-20 (The Message)
Hearing what God has to say amidst the clamor of the world is
often a difficult thing to do. Actually following through on what
God asks of us is even more difficult still.
Consider Peter. He was the first of Jesus’ disciples. He heard
Jesus teach (disciple means “learner”). He witnessed Jesus’ miracles, including the feeding of the thousands and the healing of
the sick and possessed. He watched as Jesus cooled his motherin-law’s raging fever. He even participated in Jesus’ miracles,
stepping out of the boat and walking on water for a few steps
before fear and doubt sunk him. Thankfully for Peter, Jesus was
there to save him, snatching him out of the water and bringing
him safely back into the boat.
That last incident is a useful analogy for our own condition-even when we hear God, even when we step out of the boat and
follow God’s call, fear and doubt and any of a dozen other selfdefeating thoughts sink us.
But just as Jesus was there for Peter, Jesus is here for us! He
continues to call us, continues to teach us, continues to perform
transformative miracles in our lives.
Back to Peter. He accompanied Jesus up to the mountaintop
and witnessed in Jesus the dazzling revelation of God’s glory.
He wondered who Jesus was and spoke about such things, getting part of it right and part of it wrong. Finally, he professed
his never-ending loyalty and devotion to Jesus...only to deny
he even knew Jesus when, once again, fear and doubt assailed
him.
Peter thought Jesus was gone. But Jesus did not abandon his
friend, even in death. Risen from the tomb, Jesus came to Peter and showed him the ressurection miracle that God had performed. Jesus blessed Peter and the other disciples with peace.
The resurrected Jesus revealed himself again to Peter and his
friends on the seashore, helping them catch fish and cooking
them a wonderful breakfast of fish and fresh bread.
That’s right— Jesus cooked Peter breakfast! After all that
they had been through, after all the teaching and (some) learning, after all the miracles, after pain and suffering and even
death, Jesus never withdrew his invitation to Peter.
“Follow me,” Jesus says at the end of John’s gospel. Flip the
page to the next book of the New Testament and you’ll see that
finally, after all this time, Peter not only hears but acts. He offered his own teachings about Jesus. He healed in Jesus’ name.
He became the foundation of a church that, two thousand years
later, still hears what God has to say and, sometimes, in our best
moments, even in the midst of fear and doubt and a dozen other
obstacles, still follows through on what God asks of us.
Thank God for Peter!
St. Ann’s To Hold
Clothing Giveaway
AFTON – St. Ann’s Episcopal Church, Main St.,

giveaway on Saturday, June
14 from 9 a.m. to noon, at the
church. Everyone is welcome
to stop by and find good useful
clothing.
Church Seeks
Items for School
Give-A-Way Effort
MT. UPTON - The Mount
Upton United Methodist
Church will be doing our annual School Supply give-away for students earlier this
year. We would like to have
anyone that would wish to
donate to this cause, to do so.
Any supplies will be accepted
at the church, or monetary
donations sent in care of the
church at PO Box 199, Mt. Upton 13809. Backpacks are an
item that we usually run short
of, but all supplies are needed.
School lists will be available
for the GMU students.
We will be holding this
event on Saturday, Aug. 16,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so
that all are aware of supplies
being on hand before you do
your school shopping. This is
not just for GMU students, as
normal school supplies will be
on hand for any in the area that
may need them. Every year we
try to do this, as we know that
school supplies are a big added
expense when preparing to go
back to school. We do this to
help our children be supplied
with their everyday needs
when going back to school.
Taking care of our children
is a mission of the United
Methodist Women.

A CHEERFUL PROSPECT
BY ALICIA (MARSLAND) GEROMEL
This week, another column
sparked by a Facebook meme.
This one showed a late medieval picture of a man being
executed, each limb tied to a
harness on a horse going in a
different point of the compass.
The words on the poster read:
“We tried a Christian society
run by the rich. Why do you
think it was called the Dark
Ages?”
Again, a young friend put
this one up. But his reaction
to my response was the polar opposite of the last young
friend’s. First, another friend
of his, named Dane, pointed
out that the centuries following the collapse of the Roman
Empire were dubbed “dark”
not because they were especially evil, but because there
is very little in the way of
documentation to help build
a picture of their history, not,
at least, in comparison to the
Classical period or the late
Middle Ages. Then I followed
him up with this:
“Oh, Cole! That is so historically inaccurate for so
many reasons it would take a
dissertation to explain them
all. In short:
A) it was dubbed the Dark
Ages for the reason Dane
mentions, but anti-Christian intellectuals exploited
the name for propaganda
purposes.
B) during the “Dark Ages” Europe was Christianized by
missionaries risking their
lives, not by the “rich.”
This meant that slavery,
child sexual molestation,
human sacrifice, the casual rape of any woman
without powerful relatives, trial by ordeal, abortion, infant exposure for
children born with defects,
blood feuds which wiped
out entire clans, tribal warfare and cannibalism (I kid
you not) gradually became
unacceptable behaviors.
C) Yes, there were Christian
kings (Charlemagne of
France, Alfred of England, Eric of Norway) who
demanded conversion as
a requirement for surrender, but this was mainly
because they were dealing with people so different from them in outlook
that they couldn’t possibly
coexist without having
them baptized and taught
by missionaries. To get

the idea, imagine what it
would be like to try to live
next door to the Taliban. If
these neighbors of yours
don’t change their ideas
about what is good and
right, your life and your
people’s lives will be continually at risk.
To which Cole (bless him)
reacted: “I stand corrected and
stupefied.”
I responded that it wasn’t his
fault, but rather the fault of biased history classes (either the
past is scrubbed of Christian
attitudes and reasons, or the
people in general are harshly
judged by modern standards,
which couldn’t possibly have
applied in the time and place
where they lived.) I told him
I could tell him things about
the Crusades (the Christians,
after 300 years of harassment
by Moslem invaders and pirates, finally fight back) which
would totally change his viewpoint. But, frankly, only a little bit of research and imagining oneself in the place of the
folks of the past are enough
to give most people a deeper
insight than “Oh, the awful
Church/Rich/Christians/English/Spanish/fill in your own
villain should never have done
that!”

PROPOSED FINDINGS
OF FACT AND
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
BY U.S. BANKRUPTCY
COURT AND JULY 7,
2014 DEADLINE FOR
FILING OBJECTIONS
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE
that, on May 30, 2014, the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York
(the “Bankruptcy Court”) filed
proposed Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law on the
parties’ Joint Motion For A
Report And Recommendation
to the District Court Recommending Approval of Settlement Agreement Resolving
the Adversary Proceeding and
Issuance of Injunction in Support Thereof (the “Proposed
Findings and Conclusions”).
On May 30, 2014, the Clerk
for the Bankruptcy Court also
filed a Notice of Proposed
Findings and Conclusions of
Law.
The adversary proceeding involves the Anadarko
Litigation Trust (the “Litigation Trust”), as successor to
Debtors Tronox Incorporated,
Tronox Worldwide LLC, and
Tronox LLC, and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation,
Kerr-McGee
Corporation,
Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Corporation (n/k/a Anadarko US
Offshore Corporation), KerrMcGee Worldwide Corporation, KM Investment Corporation (improperly named as
Kerr-McGee Investment Corporation), Kerr-McGee Credit
LLC, Kerr-McGee Shared
Services Company LLC and
Kerr-McGee Stored Power
Company LLC (collectively,
“Anadarko”).
PURSUANT TO THE
PROPOSED FINDINGS
AND CONCLUSIONS:
• THE DEADLINE TO
FILE OBJECTIONS TO
THE PROPOSED FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS IS JULY 7, 2014
• OBJECTIONS TO THE
PROPOSED
FINDINGS
AND CONCLUSIONS
SHOULD BE ELECTRONICALLY FILED USING
“OBJECTION TO
PROPOSED FINDINGS OF
FACT/CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW” IN THE “OTHER”
MENU OPTION UNDER
“BANKRUPTCY”
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that The
U.S. Bankruptcy Court has
recommended that the District Court approve the Settlement and issue the following permanent injunction:
“Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§§ 1367 & 1651, § 105(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code and
Bankruptcy Rules 7001 and
7065, (i) any Debtor(s), (ii)
any creditor of any Debtor
who filed or could have filed
a claim in the Chapter 11
Cases, (iii) any other Person
whose claim (A) in any way
arises from or is related to
the Adversary Proceeding,
(B) is a Trust Derivative
Claim, or (C) is duplicative of a Trust Derivative
Claim, and (iv) any Person
acting or purporting to act
as an attorney for any of the
preceding is hereby permanently enjoined from asserting against any Anadarko
Released Party (I) any Trust
Derivative Claims or (II) any
claims that are duplicative
of Trust Derivative Claims,
whether or not held or controlled by the Litigation
Trust, or whether or not the
Litigation Trust could have
asserted such claims against
any Anadarko Released
Party. The injunction herein shall not apply to or bar
the following: (i) any criminal liability; (ii) any liability
arising under Title 26 of the
United States Code (Internal
Revenue Code) or state tax
laws; (iii) any liability arising under federal or state securities laws; (iv) any action
to enforce a covenant not to
sue, release, or agreement
not to seek reimbursement
contained in the Settlement
Agreement; (v) any liability
that an Anadarko Released
Party might have that does
not arise from or through a
liability of a Debtor; (vi) any
liability of an Anadarko Released Party due to its status
or acts or omissions since
November 28, 2005 as a/an
(A) owner, (B) operator,
(C) discharger, (D) lessee,
(E) permittee, (F) licensee,
(G) person in charge, (H)
holder of a right of use and
easement, (I) arranger for
disposal or treatment, (J)
transporter, or (K) person
who generates, handles,
transports, treats, stores or
disposes of solid or hazardous waste; (vii) any liability
relating to the E&P Business or the stored power or
battery business (including,
but not limited to, as owned
or operated by U.S. Avestor LLC and Kerr-McGee
Stored Power Company
LLC1); and (viii) any liability
that any Anadarko Released
Party retained, received or
assumed pursuant to the Assignment Agreement or Assignment, Assumption, and
Indemnity Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, to
the extent that a liability of
an Anadarko Released Party
excluded from the injunction
herein by the preceding sentence would be a liability for
which such Anadarko Released Party would be jointly and severally liable with
others, including but not
limited to one or more Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, under applicable law,
nothing in this injunction is
intended to alter any such
applicable principles of joint
and several liability where
otherwise provided by law.
The injunction herein does
not apply to the Litigation
Trust and the United States,
which are providing releases
and covenants not to sue in
the Settlement Agreement.”
(emphasis added).
1
Provided, however, that as it relates to Kerr-McGee Stored Power
Company LLC, subpart (vii) is applicable only to the extent that such
liability, if any, relates to or arises
from the stored power or battery
business.
