Sidney’s Kathy Crandall to be Honored
As Delaware Co. Democrat of the Year
SIDNEY - A native and lifelong resident of Sidney, Kathy
Crandall has been named Delaware County Democrat of
the Year. Kathy will be honored at the
annual Delaware County
Democratic
dinner to be
held Saturday, May 30
at
SUNY
Delhi.
Kathy’s
hard work,
enthusiasm
and willingness to take
on difficult
tasks
have
earned her this prestigious
honor.
Never seeking recognition
for herself, Kathy has always
been a dedicated behind the
scenes worker; the type of individual the Democratic Committee takes great pride in.
A 1956 graduate of the Sidney Central School, Kathy’s
willingness to
work hard on
projects or efforts she believed in developed early on. A
popular student,
her classmates
knew they could
depend on her
to “get the job
done”,
never
taking credit for
her hard work.
Kathy’s introduction to the
Democratic Party and what
they stand for was influenced
by her family, particularly her
dad, Ralph Mason, and her
aunt, Charlotte Barnes. As a

Democrat, Ralph, who worked
at Scintilla, now Amphenol,
was instrumental in forming a
union there. Her aunt, served
as chair of Sidney’s Democratic Party for many years,
and was one of the earliest
women to receive the county’s
Democratic Woman of the
Year award.
Kathy credits her aunt with
first getting her involved in the
county’s Democratic party.
“When I graduated from high
school she put me on the Democratic Committee and I have
been on the committee ever
since.” During the ensuing
years Kathy chaired the committee, served as vice-chair
and as secretary. Kathy recalled she has been attending
the county dinners almost every year, many of which were
held at the former Kass Inn in
the town of Middletown.
Susan Sklenarik, who currently heads the Delaware
County Democratic Committee, praised Kathy, noting that
“she exemplifies the person
who is valuable, but rarely noticed. She is a worker behind
the scenes.”
“Kathy has always been
willing to help out whenever
and wherever she could be of
service. Kathy helps each year
in the petitioning process. She
goes around and collects ads
for the county booklet, works
a shift at the county fair booth,
serves as an election inspector,
and is a faithful attendant at
both town and planning board
meetings.”
“Even though Kathy suffered a stroke two years ago,
this did not stop her from continuing to be a contributing
member,” said Sklenarik.
Sklenarik said that Kathy
has also been active in the
county election campaign, and
particularly enjoyed working
to see that Bob Estates became
the Delaware County Judge.
For 24 years Kathy worked
in the shipping department at
Scintilla where she was active in the union of workers. “I
was raised on that,” declared
Kathy. She later worked 10
years for the National Bank
and Trust Co. of Norwich,
now NBT Bank.

School districts will hold
votes on budgets for 2015-16,
board of education candidates
and special propositions on
Tuesday, May 19.
Each district has held informational meetings, and budget
hearings, as well as sent out
newsletters related to their particular school vote. This is a
brief rundown of the voting in
each district. Detailed information is available from your respective school district.
Whether or not you have children in school, voters are encouraged to become informed
and to vote in your school district. The education of all our
children should be a priority.
AFTON - Voting in the Afton School District will take
place from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. in
the main lobby of the school.
The total budget is $15,209,263,
a 6.47 percent decrease from
the current budget as a result
of the district’s paying off the
2002 project. The estimated
increase in the tax levy is 2.02
percent.
There is a proposition to purchase two 49-passenger school
buses for an amount not to exceed $205,000. Ninety percent
of the cost is reimbursed by
State Transportation Aid. The
local share will be reduced by
the sale of the old school buses.
There is one five-year seat
on the board of education to
be filled for the expired term
of Henry Bostelman and one
two year seat to be filled for
the unexpired term of Margery
Secrest. Henry Bostelman is
seeking re-election. Other candidates for the two seats include
Richard Caiati, Keith Ives, Sr.,
Maryann Palmetier and Laura
Grover.
BAINBRIDGE - In the
Bainbridge-Guilford Central
School, voting will be held from
noon to 9 p.m in the Bainbridge
and Guilford Town Halls. A
budget of $17,984,456 will be
up for vote. The overall budget
reflects an increase of 2.76 percent in estimated total expenditures. The tax levy limit for the
district is 2.1 percent. The budget adopted by the board results
in a tax levy increase that is 1.1
percent below the cap.
Tanya Hatton,
Valedictorian
There will be two propositions on the ballot. Proposition
1 is the replacement of school
buses at an amount not to exceed $284,000. Proposition 2 is
to set up a capital reserve fund.
Three three-year terms are
up on the board of education.
Vacancies include terms held
by Tina Ammon, Charles Blincoe and Jason Fleming. Candidates submitting petitions
include Tina Ammo, Charles
Blincoe, Keith Harvey and Rebecca Sullivan.

John Brooks Receives Honor
As Afton Sertoman of the Year
AFTON - In a ceremony
held April 14 at the Afton
Central School, Arthur “John”
Brooks was honored with the
Sertoman of the Year Award.
This award is given every year
to a Sertoman who epitomizes
the spirit and dedication to
community service that is
the hallmark of the Sertoma
tradition.
John is a true “man about
town” who is visible within
the community doing Sertoma
activities and VFW business.
He has been an Afton area
resident for 41 years where he
has worked for the highway
department and as a school
bus driver, shuttling children
to and from school and outside events for over 15 years.
John married Barbara in 1963
and went off to serve in Vietnam until 1965. Enjoying their
52nd year of wedded bliss,
John and Barbara have three
daughters, five grandchildren
and five great-granddaughters.
That would make anyone’s life
full, but John still finds time to
help others in the community.
His fellow Sertomans are
especially impressed with the
time and energy John gives to
the Sertoma booth at the Afton Fair every year. John is the
go-for guy when supplies run
low at the booth. He checks in
several times a day, even when
he was not scheduled to work,
to insure everything is running smoothly and if anything
is needed. He arrives bright
and early each morning to restock anything the crew feels
they may need throughout the
day.
No “spring chicken,” John is
always front and center when
the heavy work of setting up
or tearing down Goofy Golf
needs to be done, and when
it is time to hang the Christmas candles along the village
streets. Although Sertoma
no longer stores the candles
in the second floor of the old
Town Hall building, John will
never forget all the trips made
up and down the rickety old
staircase bringing the candles
down and then up to store
them for another year.
It is great to know that
whenever the Afton Sertoma
Club has a project we can
count on John to step up to
any task. Folks like John who
volunteer their time and services are the heart and soul
of Sertoma and epitomize the
meaning of community service. Congratulations to John
for being selected by your
peers to be Sertoman of the
Year. If you want to become a
Sertoman and help serve your
community, you can contact
Helen Kittle at 639-2065.

CHRIS GIBSON
U.S. CONGRESSMAN
19TH DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
As a veteran, my role on the
Armed Services Committee
is especially important to me,
and I am honored and humbled to serve in this capacity
in support of our troops, their
families, and our national
security. Recently, our committee adopted the bipartisan
defense policy bill for the
coming fiscal year, funding
our military and establishing
critical Department of Defense policy, including reforms
to combat sexual assault and
intimidation, improve protective equipment for our troops,
fund vital research, development, and modernization efforts, and make it easier for
small businesses in Upstate
New York to compete for military contracts.
I am pleased to report this
bill contains several provisions I authored, including an
amendment I worked on with
the folks at the Saratoga War
Horse Foundation to aid in
the recovery of our wounded
warriors and veterans through
equine therapy. This initiative will help strengthen Department of Defense efforts
to prevent suicide in veterans
and assist returning service
members recovering from
PTSD and the mental anguish
of war.
The defense policy bill also
includes our provisions to
shape the strategic vision of
the Global Response Force,
require implementation of
programming to prevent and
respond to gender-based violence, authorize the purchase
of new systems to counter
improvised explosive devices,
and support ribonucleic acid
technology research at SUNY
Albany to fight infectious diseases among active duty personnel and veterans.
My staff and I deeply appreciate the guidance and
advocacy of our veterans
throughout this process, and
we look forward to continuing our engagement across the
House and Senate to see that
these initiatives are signed
into law.
Of special importance in
our region, this bill contains
comprehensive report language to hold the VA accountable for ensuring appropriate
access to health services for
veterans who live in rural
areas far from VA facilities.
Veterans in Upstate New York
should have ready access to
treatment by non-VA healthcare providers near their
home. My staff and I will continue our outreach to the VA
and our coordination with local advocates to see that this
programming is carried out
successfully without delay.
Our work is driven by the
priorities of the people of the
19th Congressional District.
Please take a moment to share
your concerns with me in
writing, over the phone, or in
person.
LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Regarding Waldron’s
Article In Last Week’s
Tri-Town News
I read in the Tri-Town News
last week about the sale of
Waldron’s Floor Covering.
Jim Burke owned it for 30 plus
years and didn’t mention the
fact that he had a dedicated
employee of 24 years, Terry
Searles.
Terry was an installer
and ran the store when Jim
couldn’t be there and I think
that added to the success of
Waldron’s. People have asked
me where Terry went, as they
miss his professionalism and
meticulous work.
Terry left to purchase his
own business, Universal Bolt
& Nut on Sheep Pen Road.
Many of his Waldron customers have followed him to his
new business, that is how well
he is liked.
Good luck, Jim, on your
retirement.

The construction site where
Paul and Rosalie Northrup’s
new home is being built at 43
Beale Blvd., Sidney, was a beehive of activity on Saturday of
last week. Many people came
to lend a hand and the entire

about 5:30 on Saturday. Ten
union masons donated their
time without charge, and they
were assisted by about 30
volunteers. A total of 2,000
blocks were laid on Saturday.

BAINBRIDGE
25 YEARS AGO
May 16, 1990
Friends and neighbors
gathered Thursday evening
at the Olde Jericho Tavern
in Bainbridge to honor Dr.
Roger Williams, who, after
practicing medicine in Bainbridge for 38 years, retired in
January. Immediately following the more serious portion
of the evening, Rick Bunting,
in his position as Master of
Ceremonies, conducted “the
roasting.” The “Old Doc’s
friends” came through masterfully. The climax of the
evening was Rick Bunting’s
rendition of a Celtic farewell
song expressing appreciation
for the years of dedicated service Dr. Williams has given to
the Bainbridge area.
When 14 year old, wheelchair-bound Roxanne Schierioth of Bainbridge competed
April 20 through 22 in the
Syracuse-based Miss U.S.
Teen Pageant, she scored high
in the opinions of eight separate contest judges. However,
the height she gained in the
eyes of the 19 other contestants, most falling in the 17
to 19 year old age bracket,
sent her home with the most
valuable title of all, Miss
Congeniality.
For the third year in a row,
students from the traditional
music program at BainbridgeGuilford, will present a special concert on Friday, May
8. As in the past, the Susquehanna String Band, composed
of Rick Bunting, also the traditional music teacher at B-G,
John Kirk and Dan Duggan,
will spend two days in the district practicing with a variety
of B-G student performing
groups, then presenting the
culminating concert. This
unique educational opportunity for the students is funded
by the Wakefield Association
for the Traditional Arts, longtime supporters of the educational activities of the Susquehanna String Band.
Bainbridge “Will Do’s”,
representatives from political and civic groups in Bainbridge, plan to meet with the
Bainbridge
Development
Corp. to begin discussion
on an industrial park somewhere in Bainbridge. They
are actively pursuing a piece
of land. Secondly, they invite
community input. Thirdly, according to spokesman, Doris
Bame, they want to make residential housing more inviting,
so people want to move into
Bainbridge and be a part of it.
BAINBRIDGE
50 YEARS AGO
May 12, 1965
Francis M. Lewis, 79, “Man
of the Year in Bainbridge for
1964,” died at Sidney Hospi-
tal on Thursday, May 6, 1965.
His one great interest was the
children and youth of Bainbridge. He was instrumental
in building the Scout House
and swimming pool, contributing not only the labor
but some of the cost as well.
Mr. Lewis started in business
with his father and brother in
Harpursville, 1907. The business moved to Bainbridge in
1923. Francis Lewis built the
bridge across the Susquehanna at Owego in 1934, all the
additions to Scintilla since
1934, the Scintilla cafeteria,
the three apartment houses on
Sherman Ave. in Sidney, the
two additions to The Hospital,
Sidney, the original Walton
Hospital and St. Paul’s Catholic School in Norwich. In
Bainbridge, he also built the
Sugar Milk Plant for Borden
Company, an eight-unit apartment house, the 1951 addition
to the Central High School
and 11 houses.
The Bainbridge-Guilford
Senior Class honored Carl
“Hutch” Hutchinson by dedicating their 1965 Echo yearbook to him. He is supervising
custodian of the B-G School
System.

ribbon on Colonel LeRoy S.
Copp of Unadilla, former

ALBANY - Assemblyman
Clifford W. Crouch has called
for greater transparency ahead
of the State Education Department’s (SED) closed-door,
invite-only summit, which
took place last week, to discuss
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s and Assembly Democrat’s controversial teacher evaluation system
passed in the 2014-15 state budget. Crouch said the SED should
conduct open, public, and fully
transparent forums to discuss
this topic, as there are more
stakeholders involved with this
evaluation system than just our
educators.
“The SED should follow the
lead of what my Republican colleagues and I did in response to
Common Core’s implementation and conduct open, transparent, and public forums that
is inclusive of everyone across
New York State, not simply a
closed-door, private session
to an invite-only group,” said
Crouch, referring to the 14
public forums he and his conference conducted across New
York State in order to create
their Achieving Pupil Preparedness & Launching Excellence
(APPLE) Plan. “This should
be an open discussion because
there’s more at stake here than
just a teacher evaluation system;
we are talking about our children’s educational futures.”
During this year’s state budget debate, Crouch stood with
our children and teachers and
voted against the governor and
Assembly Democrat’s controversial education reforms that
included the teacher evaluation system in question. Crouch
also recently voiced agreement
with the New York State United
Teachers (NYSUT) president
in calling for a commission of
stakeholders, including teachers, school superintendents,
school board members, and
possibly Regents to look into
Gov. Cuomo’s questionable education reform changes.
“During the six-hour budget
debate, my Assembly Republican colleagues warned of the
consequences of instituting
these so-called reforms without
a proper vetting process and reasonable timetable,” said Crouch.
“I can say that we were right,
and I was proud to have stood
with our children, teachers and
parents and voted against these
policies.”
Crouch even called out Assembly Democrats for doubling
down on Common Core by
blocking Republican legislation
that would work to stop the controversial curriculum.
“Three weeks after a budget
was passed the Assembly Democrats held Republican-sponsored legislation in committee
that would have stopped Common Core in New York State,
and instead, decided to fasttrack their own legislation that
would continue Common Core,
but allow parents to opt-out
their kids from the testing. As
far as our children and teachers are concerned, I believe I
speak for them when I say that
three weeks was too late,” said
Crouch.
Crouch said the APPLE Plan
presents solutions to address
critical issues in the areas of
Curriculum, Teacher Support,
Funding, Student Anxiety, Special Education and Data Collection and concludes with two
reform options recommended
by members of the Assembly
Republican Conference. Details
of the entire plan can be downloaded at the following link:

Billy is a 1-year old neutered male Plott Hound mix.
If you read our last advertisement, you will see how similar
these two boys are. Billy is the
brother of Bobby that we ran
last. They were captured separately, but Billy was the first
to come in. Scared to death
of everyone and everything,
and he has come such a long
way. He had plenty of love,
patience and care here so he
was able to overcome some of
that fear. Billy has even been
to training classes and walked
away with his certificate. Is
he still shy and nervous? Yes
he is, but he is very workable.
He is a sweet, sweet boy and
once home and learning that
everything is going to be alright, he will settle in and be
a super companion. He will be
nervous with new visitors and
new situations and you may
want to always respect that for
him, and do not ask him to do
more than he can handle.
Come spend time with Billy
at Delaware Valley Humane
Society, 101 East Main St.,
Sidney, 563-7780 or check on
line at dvhs@frontiernet.net.
Hours are Monday through
Sunday: 11 a.m. through 4

Johanne Hulseberg Holbert
COVENTRYVILLE - Mrs.
Johanne Hulseberg Holbert,
87, passed away on March 8,
2015, in Bradenton, Fla. She
was born on May 18, 1927 in
Germany, the only daughter of
Charles and Kate Hulseberg.
Johanne’s family moved to
the United States in 1934 and
eventually settled in Coventryville. She graduated from
Afton Central School and
went to work in the office of
Borden’s in Bainbridge, where
she met the love of her life,
Victor Holbert. They were
married on Nov. 25, 1946, and
shared 54 years together until his passing in 2001. Their
family was composed of two
sons, Alan and Reed. Their
home was governed by the
“open-door” policy, a gathering place for family, friends
and neighbors. Their home
was graced with gardens,
flowers, birds, and expressions
of their love for nature. They
were “snow birds” to Fla. for
several years.
Johanne was a devoted wife,
mother, and grandmother; and
she was dearly loved by her
many nieces, nephews, and
multitudes of neighborhood
kids. Johanne was graced
by many friends because
she treated them as family.
Her calm and caring spirit
made everyone feel comfortable. That spirit radiated in
her work at the cafeteria at
Bainbridge/Guilford Central
School. Camping with her
family and friends for many
years was one of her favorite
past times. She loved her flowers, gardens, and was an avid
reader. Even after losing her
sight, she enjoyed her talking
books. She always enjoyed her
visits with friends—weekends
were her “phone connection
days.” Friends and family
looked forward to her calls.
“Oma” will be dearly missed
by her grandchildren and her
Florida friends.
Johanne was predeceased
by her parents; her husband,
Victor Holbert; and her son,
Reed Holbert.
She is survived by her son,
Alan Holbert, Bradenton, Fla.;
her daughter-in-law, Linda
Holbert, Milton, Del.; and
three grandchildren, Michael
Holbert, Albany, Elizabeth
Holbert, Valley Stream; and
Joshua and Tiffany Bonker,
Findlay, Ohio.
A graveside service will be
held at Greenlawn Cemetery
in Bainbridge, on Saturday,
May 16, at 1 p.m. Friends and
family are invited to a Celebration of Life at the Bainbridge Historical Society following the burial.
Memorial gifts may be
made to the Bainbridge Fire
Department, West Main St.,
Bainbridge, NY 13733, or the
Bainbridge Greenlawn Cemetery Assoc., c/o Cindy Salak,
Treasurer, 13 Evans St., Bainbridge, NY 13733.

growing conditions and reduces
consumption of non-renewable
energy supplies such as oil and
natural gas.
In an effort to prevent the
spread of invasive insect species, such as the Emerald Ash
Borer and the Asian Longhorned Beetle, state regulations
prohibit moving firewood that
is not heat treated more than 50
miles. Persons completing bid
sheets under this program may
transport cut trees no more than
50 miles from where the wood
is felled. They also must complete a “Self-Issued Certificate
for Transport” form and carry it
with them when transporting the
wood. For more information on
firewood movement restrictions
visit DEC’s website http://www.
dec.ny.gov/animals/44008.html
or call 1-866-640-0652 or email firewood@dec..ny.gov.
Any person operating a
chainsaw for any purpose while
cutting firewood is required
to wear Personal Protective
Equipment including at least
the following: hard hat, eye
protection, hearing protection
and cut-resistant chaps or pants.
Chainsaws must be equipped
with properly functioning safety devices including a chain
brake. One should not apply if
you do not have access to this
equipment. Other firewood
sales rules are available when
one applies for a bid sheet as
well as on DEC’s website http://

NYS DEC Accepting Bids
For Firewood in Chenango Co.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is now accepting bids from homeowners to
cut firewood on state forests in
Chenango and Madison counties, Regional Director Ken
Lynch announced recently. Due
to the increased demand for
firewood, sales will only be offered through a sealed bid auction and not by lottery. There is
no need to sign up in advance to
participate in the bid process.
All firewood for sale is from
standing trees located off-road
in the woods and will require a
chainsaw, tractor and cart, or a
4-wheel drive truck for cutting,
access and hauling. The trees
available for cutting are marked
by DEC foresters. This is done
to ensure that the only wood removed is done for conservation
and habitat reasons. Removal
of marked trees improves forest health and the growing
stock of understory trees and
vegetation.
Firewood will be available
in volumes between three and
ten standard cords with a minimum bid of $20 per cord. A
standard cord is a pile of wood
measuring 4’x4’x8’ when cut
and stacked. Bid applications
are available for firewood in
state forests in the following
towns: Afton, Brookfield, Cov-
entry, DeRuyter, Georgetown,
German, McDonough, New
Berlin, Otselic, Pharsalia and
Plymouth.
Information about firewood
sales including bid sheets, volumes and terms is available on
DEC’s website at http://www.
dec.ny.gov/lands/82005.html or
from DEC’s Sherburne office
(Monday through Friday 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m.) at 674-4017. Bids are
due in the Sherburne office on
May 22, by 2 p.m. Maps depicting the location of each lot are
also available online at http://
www.dec.ny.gov/lands/82005.
html. Individuals may bid on
multiple firewood lots but will
only be awarded a single lot as
determined by DEC.
Firewood lots will be awarded to the highest bidder. After a
homeowner is notified they are
the highest bidder, they need
to execute a contract with the
state and make the payment by
June 5, or the lot is offered to
the next highest bidder. Cutting
and removal of firewood may
begin as soon as a contract is
executed, typically the end of
May, and must be completed by
Sept. 14.
Firewood is a local renewable
energy source for home heating
that provides an alternative to
fossil fuels. Participation in the
program helps improve forest

Errors Costly To Sidney In MAC Baseball Title Tilt
ONEONTA – Just a short
time after playing what
Sidney coach Kyle Vibbard
called his team’s best game of
the season in a 1-0 semifinal
victory over Unatego, his
Warriors committed a seasonhigh eight errors and found
themselves in a 6-0 hole after
an inning and a half before
falling to Hancock, 9-5, in the
Midstate Athletic Conference
baseball
championship
Saturday at Damaschke Field
in Oneonta.
Hancock (14-3), who won
the MAC title last year as
well, scored three times in the
top of the first inning, thanks
in large part to three Sidney
miscues.
Two more errors and a tworun double by Preston Walker
in the top of the second led
to three more Hancock runs,
putting the Warriors (12-5) in
a large, 6-0 hole.
Sidney was not ready to
cash in yet and they made it
a one-run contest by plating
five runs in the bottom of the
second inning against Hancock
starter Ryan Slatcher.
All of the runs came after
two outs.
Sidney’s Alex Hoskins
drew a leadoff walk in the
second but was picked off by
Slatcher, who then induced a
groundout for the second out
of the inning.
The third out didn’t come
so easy.
Designated hitter Dawson
Crawford started the onslaught
with a single to left. Tyler
McKee then doubled and both
Nathan Vibbard and Anthony
Ruling had RBI singles (two
runs scored on Ruling’s hit
when the Hancock leftfielder
misplayed the ball). Zac
Green added an RBI double
before McMillan capped the
big frame with an RBI hit.
Sidney had it down to a
one-run game, but alas, the
fielding demons returned
in the top of the third when
Sidney committed four more
errors, which resulted in two
runs for Hancock and an 8-5
lead.
Evan Bass capped the
scoring for Hancock when he
scored on a wild pitch in the
fifth inning.
Slatcher, a lefty who got
by more on smarts than
stuff, allowed 13 hits for
Hancock, but his defense
only committed one error in
picking up the victory.
Green was 4-for-4 for
Sidney, who will move onto
sectional play in Class C.
Hancock
is
two-time
defending Class D champion
and a state finalist last year
after winning it all in 2013.

For the Crimson Knights,
it stopped a two-year run as
league champions.
Decker, a junior who is in
her second year at Sidney after
playing two seasons for Afton,
allowed two runs in the top of
the second inning.
Amanda
Greenwood
singled to left with one out,
stole second and went to
third on passed ball. After
the second out of the frame,
Sam Rogalski worked out the
only walk allowed by Decker
and she too stole second
before Alex Alford drove both
runners home with a single up
the middle.
It looked good for Afton
(11-4), who lost to Sidney
(13-0) early in the season, but
Sidney mounted a huge twoout rally to take the lead in the
bottom of the third.
Afton pitcher Tanya Hatton
got the first two Sidney hitters
on strikeouts to start the third,
but Kailyn Gravel got the rally
started when she laced a 3-2

offering down the rightfield
line and sped into third with
a triple.
Decker followed suit a batter
later when she pounded a ball
over the head of rightfielder
Greenwood, plating Gravel
and putting Decker at third
base.
Jolene Krom then walked
on four pitches to bring up
Jenna McDonald.
McDonald hit a slow roller
to third, but Bailey Sherman’s
throw careened off the glove of
first baseman Cassidy Phillips,
which allowed Haven Coons,
a courtesy runner for Decker,
to score the tying run and put
Krom and McDonald on third
and second base, respectively.
Mackensie Gravelin then
plated the go-ahead run when
she laced a single off the glove
of Hatton for the infield hit
that allowed Krom to make it
a 3-2 ballgame.
After that, it was a pitcher’s
duel between two former
teammates. Hatton allowed
just five hits as well, striking
out seven while allowing four
walks.
Sidney snuffed out a
potential rally in the fourth
by Afton when, with Karli
Conpropst on second base with
one out, Phillips grounded out
to shortstop. On the throw,
Conpropst attempted to get
to third, but McDonald threw
across the diamond to third
baseman Hayley Adams, who
tagged out Compropst for the
third out of the inning.

PUZZLE CORNER
FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
By Wendy Depew Partelow
Interim Pastor, First Baptist, Bainbridge
We at First Baptist Bainbridge had a very exciting Mother’s
Day! A young lamb visited our congregation for worship! Each
time she saw her mommy, Karen Terpstra, she ran to her; a true
illustration of Jesus words, “I am the good shepherd, I know my
own and my own know me.” (John 10:14) This little lamb definitely knew her good shepherd. Now you may think that a little
lamb walking around the sanctuary during worship would be a
bit disruptive – but no. She would bleet occasionally, but it didn’t
seem to bother this congregation that I have had the gift of leading in worship over these last nine months. The playfulness of
that morning reminds me that Jesus wants all of us to have life
in abundance; living and enjoying life in the wonderful way we
were able to do with that lamb in our presence. I pray that one
day all people may live secure in the love, peace, and joy that
the Christ, the Lamb of God, brings into our lives through his
presence.
Other visitors to our sanctuary included mothers and grandmothers, fathers who fill the role of mothers, women who for
whatever reason have not become mothers, and others of God’s
children, who all have mothers somewhere. In addition, we had
represented some mothers who struggle mightily to provide for
their young ones, cardboard cut-outs borrowed from Catholic
Charities depicting the plight of real mothers here in Chenango
County. We reflected on the plea of the Syro-phoenician Woman in the Gospel of Mark (7:24-30) and pondered why Jesus
response to her was so different from the other stories of his
exorcisms and healing.
In the midst of all of this rejoicing, pondering, and agonizing
for those who daily struggle to provide for their families; we
hear Jesus, the Christ, calling us to reach out in whatever way
we can to spread the love of God to those who desperately need
to hear it. To speak a word of grace, mercy and forgiveness to
those who may not have heard a kind word in a very long time.
We hear the Christ calling us to provide prayer, respite, and love
to the broken, weary, and afflicted among us.
St. Ann’s Episcopal Church
Celebrates Holy Humor Sunday
AFTON - St. Ann’s Church
in Afton, once again, reminded us that our faith is a joyful
experience. On Sunday, May 3,
we held our annual “Holy Humor” Sunday. This tradition is
a way of shoring up people’s
belief in the resurrection and
encouraging us to look at the
joy and good humor in our
religion.
A Holy Humor break was
taken during the children’s
sermon where young people
told jokes. Fr. David’s sermon
emphasized the joy that is in
our faith and that we should
not take ourselves too seriously also noting that we often put too much emphasis on
what’s wrong and what’s bad
with the world, rather than
what’s good. We need to remember that angels can fly
because they take themselves
lightly.
Holy Humor Sunday is typically held the Sunday after
Easter however this year it was
held the fifth Sunday of Easter.
It is held to support the belief
that the resurrection should
be celebrated with laughter
at God’s joke in overturning
the power of death. We have
a Savior who, knowing that
he was about to be betrayed,
tortured, and crucified, told
his disciples before his arrest:
“These things I have spoken to
you, that my joy may be in you
and that your joy may be full.”
We have a Savior who told his
disciples, “Be of good cheer. I
have overcome the world.”
The early Greek Christians called this “Bright Sunday” but it is now common
to refer to it as “Holy Humor
Sunday.”
Laughter heals the Church
of deadly seriousness. Humor
becomes holy when we recognize God in between our aspirations and our limitations,
ready to laugh with us, and
heal us. “A cheerful heart is
a good medicine.” Proverbs
17:22
Otsego County Receives Grant
For Mobile Home Replacement
COOPERSTOWN - Otsego
County has received a federal
grant through the New York
State Homes & Community
Renewal to replace dilapidated owner-occupied mobile
homes with new, energy-efficient manufactured homes.
General eligibility is based
on gross household income at
or below 80% of the area median, ownership in the name
of the applicant of the property where the existing mobile home is located, and poor
condition of the home. Final
awards will be made based on
additional determinations of
actual income below the 80%
limit, disabilities in the home,
overcrowding, financial responsibility of applicants, and
severity of home conditions.
Minimum additional requirements for properties:
mobile homes are permanent,
year-round residence of owners/applicants; applicants have
no outstanding liens or mortgages, and are current on all
property taxes. Mobile homes
on rented lots or in parks are
not eligible.
Interested families are
asked to call Otsego Rural Housing Assistance, Inc.
(ORHA) at 286-7244 and
leave a name and telephone
number. Telephone pre-application calls will then be
made and further steps toward
a formal application will be
described and mailed to those
who qualify. Applicants will
be contacted in the order received. Successful applicants
will be included in a database
and scored on the program eligibility criteria until all funds
are awarded. Applications not
chosen will be carried over for
the next request of funds.
William H. Harrison, the
ninth president of the
United States, served the
shortest term. He died from
pneumonia 30 days after he
was inaugurated in 1841.

serve a green salad, and hopefully some sort of dessert. One
of our members makes a very
delicious fruit salad that would
be great at this time of year. At
any rate, we’ll be surprised.
There is some special entertainment planned. One of our
favorite performers, Jim Dorn,
will be with us. Everyone looks
forward to his visit each year.
Sometimes we can get more

for over four decades. He plays
his accordion and guitar with
old time favorites, traditional,
kid songs and sing-a-longs, all
in the style of John Denver, Simon & Garfunkel. Jim Croce,

Neil Diamond, Peter, Paul &
Mary etc. He would love to
meet you.
All are welcome. If you
plan to attend, we would appreciate a call, just to be sure
that we have enough food. If
you have been thinking about
stopping in, this would be a
perfect time. Call Gerry Green
at 369-9522 or Alice Welch at

improve. She is always willing
to help others, and is a very caring individual. Tanya has been
successful because she has
worked hard and has put God
first. She has a very supportive
family who is very proud of her.
They have pushed her to be the
best that she can be and to “always leave it all on the field.”
Tanya is an extremely active young lady outside of the

in three sports each year, including field hockey, basketball, and softball. In her

time, Tanya enjoys helping out
the Afton Youth Sports by helping coach or officiating games.
She believes it’s important to
give back to her community for
everything that they have done
for her. Tanya’s leadership,
drive and dedication to do her
absolute best is what has helped
her to be successful athletically
as well as academically.
After high school, Tanya
plans to go to Houghton College

her own tutoring business and
eventually start a family. Tanya
would like to thank her parents,
coaches, teachers, friends, the
staff at Afton Central School,
and last, but most importantly,
God for pushing, supporting,
and making such a positive impact in her life thus far.
