Missionary Madagascar Bound SEGIT/From B1 Mitsio, a 9-mile-wide island 20 miles off the coast of Madagascar, populated by less than 2,000 people. “No missionaries have ever been to the island,” she said. “We’re learning what we can, but a lot of that will have to wait until we get there.” After flying into Madagascar, Segit and 18 others — eight of them young children whose parents are missionaries — will take an ocean canoe across the twenty-mile stretch to Nosy Mitsio. Once every two months, they’ll head back to the mainland to stock up on supplies, call home and update their blogs. There’s no electricity or

running water, and Segit will have to live in a hut, building her own cooking fires from wood she’s chopped. “That’s the thing I’m nervous about!” she said. “I’ll miss my microwave and my Stouffer’s mac and cheese!” Most of the residents are fisherman, and food is grown in their own gardens. “I’ll be eating fish all day, every day,” she said. “But they also have chicken and cows. No lemurs, though.” And it might be awhile before she gets to taste those comforts of home; though she’s signed on for a sevenyear mission, she can return home after two and a half years and reevaluate if she wants to return. “I felt like Madagascar was right.”

DREAM/From B1 peoples of the world,” said the pastor of Oneonta’s “Red Door” Church, who recently returned from the World Council of Churches Assembly in Busan, South Korea. “But when you hear all those different voices, those different languages, it’s very powerful.” In Busan, Walton-Leavitt was one of 5,000 representatives from 300 churches in 100 countries. “All these Christians are coming from all these different theological foundations, making an effort to find a common ground,” she said. “The theme was ‘God of Life, Lead Us to Justice and Peace.’ This is an area we can all agree on – the disagreement is how do we achieve justice, and for who?” It’s a trip she’s wanted
to make since the ’70s, but the Assembly is convened only once every seven years. This year, she has the opportunity to work in the booth of the International Association of Women Ministers; she is currently the association’s secretary. “Men wanted to know, ‘how can we help our women?’ Some churches are just now ordaining women.” To bring awareness to their cause, Walton-Leavitt and others working the booth took photos of women in ministry; one copy was hung in the booth, the other given to each woman as a gift. “One gentleman from a Pentecostal church in India was missing his wife, who was back with their church. I told him to bring her the gift of membership, and we took his picture in front of our booth.”

1866. “That line down the center isn’t a water stain or a tear – the photographer put these images together, like 1860s Photoshop.” There are two cases of artifacts linked to the photographs, including one of the silk ribbons from an Albany Nationals game against a team named “Union” – Union College, maybe? Shieber doesn’t know, given there were so many teams with that name.
“When they played other teams, they would trade these ribbons like kids trade pins at Dreams Park,” he said. “They’d sew them to their uniforms to show that they’d played against good teams.” A photograph of Honus Wagner, who was notoriously superstitious about being photographed, is linked to his bat in a nearby case.

Rodney H. Ingalls, 94; Operated Clover Leaf Farm HARTWICK SEMINARY – Rodney H. Ingalls, who co-founded Cooperstown Dairy with his father and sold his Clover Leaf Farm in 1995 for Cooperstown Dreams Park, died Nov. 19, 2013. He was 94. He was a descendant of the first Ingalls who came to the new world in 1628 and settled Lynn, Mass. Rodney was the son of a sixth-generation farmer. He was born May 7, 1919, at the family farm homestead on Christian Hill. He was the only child of Harry Clark Ingalls and Theresa Chapman Ingalls. At age 3, his family moved to Hartwick Seminary, where Rod eventually owned and operated the family farm, known as the Clover Leaf Farm. His father, Harry, was progressive in farming, owning the first milking machine and the first tractor in the town. Rodney graduated from Cooperstown High School, Class of 1936. He received a four-year grant to Cornell, where he graduated in 1940 with a bachelor of science in agriculture and animal husbandry. On July 27, 1942, despite an exemption for farm sons, Rodney enlisted in the Navy and entered into active service as an aviator. He flew reconnaissance missions in
the Atlantic and Pacific theaters off the aircraft carrier USS Guam, searching for U-boats. He received an Rodney honorable H. Ingalls discharge as a lieutenant JG on Dec. 12, 1945. On June 16, 1944, while in active service, he married Virginia Mary McGraw. His justification for taking on a “war bride” was that the Navy paid more to married officers. Virginia predeceased him after 62 years of marriage. Rodney returned to the family farm where he and his father founded the Cooperstown Dairy and raised a herd of purebred Guernseys. His first love became that of raising gladiola, honey bees, vegetables and you-pick strawberries and blueberries. The farm was once complimented as being the “Jewel of the County.” Each spring Rodney would work out of his home office preparing people’s tax returns. He liked people and
he liked business, so this avocation came naturally. After the death of Virginia on April 26, 2007, he married Betty Niles Phipps on June 29, 2008, in a ceremony at his home in Hartwick Seminary. Throughout his life, Rodney was a faithful church-goer. For years he was especially committed to working with the teenage youth group. Equally important was his faith in the God of the scriptures to whom he trusted his life. Micah 6:8 is a scripture verse that characterized Rodney’s earthly walk: “…what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Rodney is survived by his wife Betty; two sons and daughters-in-law, Paul and Deborah Ann Ingalls and David and Darlene Ingalls, all of Hartwick Seminary; one daughter and son-inlaw, Marybeth and Jeffrey Ring of Baltimore, Md.; 13 grandchildren, Jesse Ingalls and his wife Amber, Jenny Lynn Brett and her husband Charles, Justin Ingalls, Joanna Ingalls, Nathanael Ingalls, Benjamin Ingalls
