If passed by the legislature, the law would then have to be approved by the state voters in November, 1965. Federal funds are available which would pay one third of the cost of constructing the sewage treatment plant and the village hopes state funds would provide an additional third.

Tri-Town News — Thursday, May 7, 2015 — 5 DEC Sets New Comment Period On Constitution Pipeline CANDIDATE STATEMENTS Maryann Palmetier Seeks Seat on Afton School Board AFTON - My name is Maryann Palmetier. I would like to introduce myself as a candidate for the Afton Central School Board of Education. I have been a resident of the Town of Afton for over 40 years and have resided in the Afton School district for four years. Although we did not live in the district at the time our sons were ready to attend school, because we wanted to have them attend school in Afton, we obtained permission for them to do so. They both graduated from Afton, and now have children enrolled in the elementary, middle and high schools at Afton. I keep actively involved in their school curriculum including both academic and sports, as well as other school activities and events. This provides me the opportunity to have a wide exposure to all the different areas of the school. I think this involvement would be an asset to myself as a board member. I know that dedication and commitment are important to being a board member. I am willing and prepared to be committed and to take responsibility for a position as a board member. I feel that I am well qualified. I have had many years of administrative experience. I was in nursing administration at United Health Services Hospitals for over 20 years as a Nurse Manager in the medical-surgical services. My responsibilities included employment, budget (.5 million dollar budget), quality assurance, staffing, and day to day operations of the units. I was involved in many committees and programs throughout the organization. I am well aware of the responsibility of being an active participant, being knowledgeable of the agenda before the board at any given time, and being able to make decisions in the best interest of everyone involved. I feel that my background as an administrator supports my qualifications and desire to become a board member. I feel that I have the flexibility and responsibility required to support the board in meeting the needs of the community. I am willing to take risks when necessary in making decisions. I am also a good listener, and am supportive of others views and ideas. I have always been a people person. One of my strong leadership qualities is communication. I strongly believe that communication is the key to a successful relationship between the Board of Education and those that they serve. One of my goals as a board member would be to ensure that there is effective communication between the board and STUDENTS, PARENTS, school administration, faculty, ancillary staff, and all residents of the school district and members of the Afton community. Upon my retirement from UHS, in order to continue with the opportunity to help and serve people, I accepted the call into the ministry. I am an ordained minister in the National Association of Congregational Churches and presently am the pastor at Hope Church in Afton. I would like to be given the opportunity to share in creating the vision for the future of all students at Afton Central School. While academics should be first and foremost, balancing academics, with sports and all other programs and activities is of great importance to ensure that every student will be guaranteed op- portunities for the highest student performance and an environment promoting the highest ethical standards. The ultimate focus is our children. Please come out and vote for me on Tuesday, May 19, so I can take care of these children..”MY children”! PLEASE NOTE: in using the words, “MY children” I am not referring to only the Palmetier kids...it means ALL THE CHILDREN (including YOUR children) within the Afton Central School district. Should you have any suggestions or questions for me, please do not hesitate to contact me at 226-0791. POLICE BLOTTER All crimes described in this press release are allegations, suspects named are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Chenango County Sheriffs On April 19, around 4 a.m., Deputy Loiselle arrested Libny R. Torres, age 27, of Cortland, for driving while intoxicated following an investigation into a motor vehicle accident that had occurred on I-88 West bound in the Town of Afton. A motorist passing by the accident called 911 to report a motor vehicle into the guide rail. It is alleged that the defendant was operating a motor vehicle in an intoxicated state and fell asleep at the wheel prior to veering off the roadway and into a guide rail. Torres was charged with DWI and unsafe lane change and arraigned in the Town of Afton Court and is being held in lieu of $5,000 cash bail. Torres is scheduled to reappear in the Town of Afton Court at a later date. Delaware County Sheriffs On May 1, Delaware County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested Richard B. Davis, 23, of Waynesboro, Va. on a Fugitive from Justice Warrant. Davis was wanted by The Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office on violating felony probation on a previous grand larceny charge. Deputies acting on leads tracked Davis to a home in Franklin where he was taken into custody without incident. He was arraigned in the Town of Franklin Court and was remanded to the Delaware County Correctional Facility without bail to be held pending extradition back to the State of Virginia. ALBANY - The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced a new 15-day public comment period on the re-submitted Water Quality Certificate application for the proposed, federally regulated Constitution Pipeline. Public comments on the proposed project will now be accepted until close of business on Thursday, May 14. Those who submitted comments during the first comment period, which ended Feb. 27, do not need to resubmit their comments. All comments received during the previous comment period will be considered as DEC reviews the permit application. Due to the extended winter preventing necessary field work by staff, DEC requested additional time to complete its review of any potential impacts on wetlands and water quality. As requested and to continue the substantial progress reviewing the application and supporting documents that has been made to date, the applicant withdrew and subsequently resubmitted its application with no changes or modifications. DEC’s review of the application is ongoing and the applicant’s withdrawal and resubmission is not expected to unduly delay the agency’s final determination. The Constitution Pipeline is a proposed interstate natural gas pipeline that would traverse through Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Schoharie counties. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was responsible for conducting an environmental review of the project and has the authority to approve the pipeline route. FERC issued a final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) in October 2014, which can be viewed at: http://elibrary.FERC.gov/idmws/file_list.asp?accession_ num=201410244001. DEC maintains the authority to review applications for specific permits and approvals, including a Water Quality Certification, a Protection of Waters permit, a Water Withdrawal permit and a Freshwater Wetlands permit for state-protected wetlands and adjacent areas. This notice does not include the application for an Air Title V permit for the proposed compressor station upgrade. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also must issue permits for the project and its review is ongoing. Written comments should be submitted to: Stephen M. Tomasik DEC – Division of Environmental Permits , 625 Broadway, 4th Floor, Albany, NY 12233-1750 or to dec. sm.constitution@dec.ny.gov. Copies of the FEIS and DEC permit application documents can be viewed online at: http:// www.constitutionpipeline. com/.

BY JOAN DICHIARA Mother’s Day Sunday, May 10 is Mother’s Day. Haven’t bought that special gift for your mother, grandmother, aunt, sister or anyone who has been like a mother to you? Here are some ideas on how to save on a Mother’s Day. It doesn’t cost anything to show how much you care for your mom. Make a coupon book and instead of just basic coupons like “doing dishes” or “washing car” add some personal things that are specific for your mom. Make a scrapbook of your mom’s life. In the scrapbook put pictures of you and your mom taken when you were little and any other special pictures you might have. Write about a special time in your life that you shared with your mom. Also don’t forget to tell your mom how much you love her in the scrapbook. Serve your mom breakfast in bed. If your mom is religious go to church with her on Mother’s Day. Cook or bake something special for your mom. Make a Mother’s Day card instead of buying one at a card store. By making a card it shows your mom how much you care about her. One great, inexpensive way to show you care is to spend the day doing tasks in the yard your mom would either do herself or pay someone else to do. Whether it’s washing the windows, cleaning out gutters, mowing or taking care of the flower beds. This would make your mom’s life easier and save her some time and money.

Get a jar, glass paint and some pens and paper and be creative. Remember to include your mom’s name and any special decorative message and write down fond memories on little slips of paper. Put the notes inside the jar so whenever mom needs a little pick-me-up, all she has to do is pull out a memory. If you do coupons, consider going through your stockpile and make your mom a gift basket of grocery items, shampoo or other items you might want to give her. This will save your mom some money on her groceries. If you do have some money to spend on your mom without going broke take your mom to her favorite restaurant. Then bring mom home and watch her favorite movie with her. Remember to send your mom a card and call her on Mother’s Day if you don’t live near her. Mom will appreciate whatever you do for her and if it is only saying Happy Mother’s Day and telling her how much you love her. If you have any money saving tips or ideas, e-mail me at kay01267@gmail.

John, or Jack as he was called as a youth, attended Odessa Central School from 1933 to 1946.

John also shipped his prize winning eggs all over the US. His string of prize winning chickens lives on to this day. John met his Georgia Peach bride in 1962 at the Rock Inn Restaurant where he was a bartender as a second job. He always kidded she talked “hound dog” and he was married to his southern bride for three years before he realized all she wanted was a ride home.

The open house will be held at the agency headquarters at 35430 State Highway 10, Hamden, from 1 to 6 p.m on Tuesday, May 19. In 1965, five local people, William Kunsela, Seldon Krueger, William G. Miller Jr., H. S. Dickson, and Maurice Postley shared a vision for the creation of a not for profit agency designed to find local solutions to the conditions of poverty and the needs of the population of Delaware County. This was in response to President Johnson’s War on Poverty, the passing of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, and the availability of federal funding to support Delaware Opportunities. The initial Board of Directors filed a grant application and received $3,000 in federal funding. The board hired part Connor Glassett On Dean’s List BURLINGTON, VT. - Connor Glassett, of Bainbridge, received Academic Honors at Champlain College, Burlington, Vt., and was named to the Dean’s List for the 2015 spring semester.

The first opportunity they found was a federal grant for the implementation of a Head Start Program, and that program began in the summer of 1966, and the work of the agency continued and grew from that point forward. The agency had a slow and sometimes controversial start. The early years continued the Head Start program and established neighborhood centers in various areas of the county including Margaretville, Hobart, and Walton in addition to the home base in Delhi. Some of the centers sold crafts made by residents as a way to increase their income. Major growth for the agency began in the 1970s under the direction of John Baumgarten with the addition of the Wom- Senior Dining Centers to Serve Evening Meal One Day a Month Delaware Opportunities will begin providing evening meals in place of the noon meal one day each month from May through October.

By the beginning of the 1980s the agency budget had grown to over $1 million a year, with a staff of 85, and serving about 2,500 persons a year. In the early 1980s Katherine O’Connell served as executive director adding the domestic violence and family day care programs while strengthening the ties with the local elected officials and various county agencies and the annual budget increased to $1.5 million and persons served reach about 3,000. In the mid 1980s, John Eberhard was hired as the executive director and he continues to serve today. Programs added in this 30 year period include food stamp outreach, sexual assault, employment and training, agency operated foster homes, independent living skills, home rehabilitation, housing counseling for first time home buyers and those with delinquency or default, emergency food and shelter, transportation, parent aide, homeless assistance, family counseling, support, and counseling, respite care, community habilitation, and day habilitation, healthy families, and expanded existing programs. Today the agency serves over 10,000 people a year, some with multiple services. The agency’s budget is approximately $13 million and the agency employs 239 people. The open house is an opportunity for people to tour the Delaware Opportunities facilities, to talk with staff, to remember the struggles and successes that both the agency and those it served experienced, or to learn more about the current services provided.

THE DEADLINE FOR ALL ADS AND ARTICLES IS 5 PM ON MONDAY PET OF THE WEEK DELAWARE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY SIDNEY 563-7780 Bobby Bobby is a 1-year old neutered male Plott Hound mix that has a docked tail. We have had this boy since last summer and have put a lot of time in to him to make him adoptable. He is a very sweet boy, but can be very shy, and he is always nervous when he has to approach new situations. The reason for this shyness, we believe, is that he was never socialized and given the chance to succeed in that way. Those that had him did not care. Bobby is one of two that had to be caught in the Unadilla area. Dog control and local residents put great effort in to catching these two. We believe, upon hearing from other townships, that there must be someone out there abandoning these dogs in different locations, because there have been several others found that have been taken to other shelters. Yes, Bobby is shy, but he can do it. We think that he will be one that will adjust to his new home, but not be one that likes to go for jaunts in the car, or for visits at the neighbors, but will be happy in his home, where he will learn to feel safe. He can be a love and will trust you. You will need to have patience with him and plenty of TLC. Bobby needs someone to love him, and care for him and help him forget the horrible existence he led prior to coming in to the shelter. Come in and meet Bobby at the Delaware Valley Humane Society, 101 East Main St., Sidney; phone, 563-7780; hours, Monday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with no adoptions completed after 3:30 p.m. Find A Safe Summer Camp BUFFALO – After a harsh winter, it may be hard for some families to believe it’s already time to make summer camp plans. This just might be the year you decided to splurge on the best for your child and BBB of Upstate New York wants parents to look beyond fancy websites or dreamscome-true photos on slick marketing materials. When searching for a summer camp parents need to know that safety, health and satisfaction for children are not just promises, but a proven track record before investing in your child’s summer camp experience. “It could be a camp in your neighborhood or a special adventure, but either way your child’s summer camp experience should be enriching, safe and fun,” said Warren Clark, president of Better Business Bureau of Upstate New York. “Every parent should feel confident their camp has invested in staff training with the equipment and licensing needed to meet New York State health and safety regulations.” Regulations for day and overnight camps may be different, but either must put your child’s well-being first. When choosing a camp, parents need to use the same care and common sense they would use in evaluating a day care program. BBB recommends searching for a camp that provides activities interesting and appropriate for each child’s age and skill level. Parents should take time to also visit camps to inspect facilities, ask about staff training and experience and to find out how the camp handles medical emergencies. If the child is staying overnight, parents should be sure to look at cabins, showers and other facilities that children will be using. Some camps, such as those organized around a particular sport, are highly structured and stress development of specific skills. Others are more flexible and give campers the opportunity to choose some of their activities. Your child’s interest and personality should be your guide in choosing an appropriate program. Parents should ask how long a camp has been in business and check with parents of past and returning students. BBB offers the following advice for parents searching for the right camp for their child: Visit the camp before submitting any payment to check the location and recreational facilities. If the camp is a distance away, ask about parent recommendations and conduct a full online search for images and information about the camp, including checking out their BBB Business Review. Go to bbb.org to find a Business Review on an individual business. If you can’t find one, ask BBB to develop one for you. Ask about safety procedures particularly for water activities, archery and out-of-camp trips. Assess the quality and commitment of the staff. Ask about fees and payment deadlines. Is your deposit refundable? Are there extra charges for any activities? Are meals and transportation offered? Other questions to ask: What is the camper return rate? The counselor return rate? What is the camp director’s background? How is the staff trained? Are criminal checks made for employees and volunteers? What is the ratio of campers to staff members? Are medical facilities adequate? Is a nurse or doctor on site? What are the procedures for transporting injured or sick children to medical facilities? Are those facilities nearby? What are the safety rules and how are they enforced? Does the camp have appropriate insurance coverage? Are family visits or other communications with campers allowed? How is homesickness handled? Are references from parents of repeat campers available? Ask the parents about their child’s experience and why they recommend the camp. Finally, look for camps that are certified by the American Camp Association. ACA-accredited camps have met up to 300 nationally recognized standards.

There are many opportunities for adventure that take families outdoors for swimming, hiking, and camping.

NORWICH - The Chenango Arts Council is pleased to announce the allocation of $99,400 in cultural funding to 50 non-profit organizations and artists through the 2015 Broome, Chenango & Otsego Decentralization (DEC) Grant Program. In addition to these grant awards, an additional $10,000 in funding for Broome County has been provided by the Stewart W. & Willma C. Hoyt Foundation, bringing the total cultural re-grant amount to $109,400 through the 2015 DEC Program. The New York State Council on the Arts established the DEC Program in 1978 to foster the continued development of local cultural resources responsive to community needs. DEC serves all of New York State’s 62 counties, including areas that are geographically isolated, economically disadvantaged and ethnically diverse. The basic principle of DEC re-grant funding is local decision-making using a peer panel grant evaluation process. The DEC Program operates annually and panel nominations are accepted on a rolling basis. The Broome, Chenango & Otsego DEC Program serves as a catalyst for local cultural development exposing children, adults and seniors to events that enrich and enhance their lives. Funding provided through these programs helps to strengthen our communities by reaching the most rural of our townships and villages, providing increased access to a greater quality of life through the arts. Since 1986, the Chenango Arts Council has administered the DEC Program in Chenango County. In 2003, the Council began administering the DEC Program in Broome County, and in 2011, Otsego County. The Decentralization Program offers support in the following categories: Community Arts (CA) Grants: Known as “traditional” or “classic” DEC grants, CA grants provide support for arts and cultural projects to community-based organizations, groups, collectives or artists. Individual artists may apply for a community-based project in partnership with a duce our youths to the outdoors and some of the activities that are available. Each youth will receive a free goody bag and be entered into a drawing for additional prizes, which they must be present for. No preregistration is required. All this is being provided via volunteers and the combined efforts of the Unadilla Rod and Gun Club, the Otego Rod and Gun Club, Adirondack-Catskill chapter of Safari Club International and the Sables (the education side of SCI), the NYS DEC conservation officers. Come to the Unadilla Rod and Gun Club on Butternut Road and bring the kids and enjoy a fun filled day that is completely free to all, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. rain or shine. It will be a day they remember forever. Any questions, feel free to contact Kurt Carman, 434-1982. local non-profit organization. CA support enables emerging artists and organizations to grow professionally and to enhance the cultural vibrancy in communities and neighborhoods where they live and operate. CA grants provide support to develop, foster, promote, enhance and increase community arts that address current cultural needs in Broome, Chenango and Otsego counties. Arts Education (AE) Grants: AE grants support the role that local cultural organizations and/or individual artists play in engaging K-12 public school students in rich artistic learning experiences. AE funds are designed to support new or first time arts education projects in K-12 school settings. Re-grant funds are directed to cultural organizations and/or artists to work in partnership with public schools to utilize each other’s resources, and must not replace or appear to replace the role of certified arts teachers. Projects must focus on the exploration of art and the artistic process. Projects must take place in school and center on the develop- ment and implementation of sequential, skills-based study that incorporates one or more art forms and includes a minimum of 3 hands-on learning sessions with a core group of students. Schools and teachers may not apply. Several from the tri-town area are among the grant recipients including: Afton Historical Society, Bonnie Gale*, Chenango County Blues Association, Chenango County Historical Society, Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival, Guilford Historical Society, Jericho Arts Council, Mid-York Concert Band, Moore Memorial Library, New Berlin Art Forum, ARC Otsego, First Night Oneonta, First Presbyterian Church of Gilbertsville and Pathfinder Village.

Carol’s love for young people also carries over into summer swimming at Guilford Lake and recreation program for children from her Guilford community and from Mt. Upton June through August. The program was initiated by the Guilford Elementary School and later taken over by the Town of Guilford. At first Carol was on the advisory board but it wasn’t long before it became a “hands on” program for Carol as she took responsibility for setting up schedules and making sure lifeguards had their CPR and first aid training. She is also responsible for the four-week playground program. In the early years there was also a baseball and softball program, another area of somewhat expertise for Carol who as a teenager played soccer, softball and basketball. She has also been an ardent supporter of the children and grandchildren’s sports activities. She is often at the Special Olympics games where her grandson Matthew Robinson excels. Carol also has a passion for genealogy, and has done extensive research on her family’s ancestry. She has provided extensive research to the Chenango County Historical Society. The family history she has uncovered include Indian heritage. It seems her greatgreat-grandfather, who was a doctor, came to the states from Canada and married an Indian woman. Carol credits both her dad, Wright “Zeke” Ingham, and her husband, the late Francis Hubbard, for being an inspiration to her. “Both were very compassionate people,” said Carol. Born in New Berlin, Carol spent her early years in Holmsville and White’s Store. Carol’s family, including three brothers and a sister, eventually moved to a farm in Guilford. Always mature for her age, at Guilford Carol was allowed to skip kindergarten, going directly into first grade. It was in first grade where Carol became friends with the boy who was later to become her husband. “We later became high school sweethearts,” said Carol, with a smile. recalling that they both graduated from the Guilford High School on June 20, 1958, were engaged on her 18th birthday and were married a year later on June 20, 1959. They had 54 ½ special years together during which time they raised four children and welcomed their spouses and many grandchildren. As a family they were active in their church and in the children’s school activities and sports. Among the humanitarian efforts undertaken by Carol and Francis was a trip to Mississippi with the Wyoming Conference Disaster Response Team. They spent 10 days helping to rebuild the area after hurricanes devastated the area. “The team came to Sidney to help us get started on rebuilding our church after the 2006 flood and we wanted to give back to others because we appreciated all the guidance and help we had received,” said Carol. Sadly, Francis, a devout Christian, passed on December 22, 2013. Family was always a priority for Fran and Carol, and today Carol is especially thankful she has a loving family who are always there for her. Her family includes Joanne Finch and her husband Bill; Suzanne Robinson and her husband Keith; Judy Albano and her husband Ken; and Dean Hubbard and his Nicole. Carol is also close to her grandchildren, Chloe, Jeremiah and Logan Hubbard; Stephanie Bailey, Christopher Doyle, Joshua Wilce, Brett Davenport, Anthony Albano, and Michael and Matthew Robinson. In spite of several health issues, Carol continues to serve her church and the community. While compassion for others has always been very much a part of who Carol is, she says she is also influenced by a promise she made many years ago. “After Dean was born I became seriously ill and was hospitalized for a month. Here I had a newborn son and three young daughters at home who depended on me. I prayed to God promising that if He let me live to see my children grow up, I would serve him all of my life.” And so she continues to serve others.
