* On June 1, 1926, Norma Jeane Mortenson -- who would become known as the actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe -- is born in Los Angeles. During World War II, a photographer “discovered” the photogenic Norma Jeane working in a California munitions factory.

* On June 5, 1949, bestselling thriller writer Ken Follett is born in Wales. After college he wrote a novel just for the $400 advance, which he needed to fix his car. The book flopped, and after 10 more novels he finally broke through with “The Eye of the Needle” in 1979.

* On June 7, 1962, the banking institution Credit Suisse opens the first drivethrough bank in Switzerland in downtown Zurich. After mounting problems with Zurich’s downtown traffic led to fewer and fewer customers, the drive-thru was closed in 1983.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” -- Albert Einstein

Guessing Game

Can you guess what game the picture is depicting? Write your answer below.

The word ‘barbecue’ is said to have come from the Caribbean word ‘Barabicu,’ a structure made of sticks used for cooking by the indigenous people of the Caribbean who were called Taino. Food was prepared over an indirect flame and placed to the side or above the fire. It resulted in a charred and

Je rey A. Sabo May 15, 2023

Je rey A. Sabo – e Lord called him home May 15, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. Je was born to Joseph and Carol (Peck) Sabo on June 28, 1956.

He grew up in the No. Cohocton area and graduated from Wayland Central School in 1974. While in high school, he was selected to bein the school’s foreign exchange student program and was able to go to Brazil. He was so proud to have had that opportunity in his life. He always said he wished he could go back there some day. His host family was just wonderful. A few years back, he reconnected through the internet with one of his host brothers, Tomas. e Sabo family also had the opportunity to be a host family to a foreign exchange student, Paco Garza, who Je was able to see prior to his passing.

After High School, he attended Geneseo State for approximately two semesters. He spent most of that time hanging with fellow musicians and drama students in the Fine Arts building instead of going to his scheduled classes.

After his time in college, Je moved to Texas in 1977 where his brother, Mark was building power plants. With Je ’s past work experience with the Town of Cohocton over the summers, he discovered his gift for working with his hands, pouring concrete. Having this experience and some knowledge of masonry work, he was able to secure a position alongside Mark building power plants as well. He was initilly hired-on as a concrete nisher, yet quickly moved up to Journeyman status. It was hard work; but he put everything he had into it every day.

While in Texas and after his power plant days, he joined Royce Zbranek doing residential construction in LaGrange, TX alongside his brother Mark, yet again. Later, Mark formed Sabo Enterprises where Je was able to advance his building knowledge of construction. Je and Mark’s working history remained intact to include employment at Martin’s Lonestar Boat Factory building custom boats.

While home from Texas in 1979 for Christmas, he met his wife, Linda (Carney) of Wayland. ey were married on August 22, 1981 in LaGrange, Texas, where they lived and started their family. He and his wife, Linda, along with their three children returned to the No. Cohocton/Wayland area in 1988.

Je ’s love for music and playing drums allowed him to play many types of music, working with many fellow gifted musicians in a variety of bands. His love of Rock-N-Roll, County (old and new), Blue Grass, Blues, and a special love for the Big Bands and Jazz allowed him to be an asset to any band, of any genre, at any time. A few bands he was most connected with while returning to his hometown area were Angles and Outlaws, e Bruce King Band and e HOGS. While a member of Angels and Outlaws, he was able to play alongside his brother, Joe and his sister-in-law, Donna (McNinch) Sabo. Everyone who witnessed Je ’s gift of playing drums knew and felt they were in the presence of greatness. Je ’s knowledge and gift of music were passed down to his children and grandchildren. He always said that he wished he could go back to school and become a music teacher. Ironically, he already achieved this goal naturally by teaching anyone to whom he came in contact with.

Je also had a love for drama and theatre. He performed in many productions at Wayland High School and Wayland Community eatre throughout adulthood. Some of his fondest memories on stage were performing in Macbeth, Man of La Mancha and Deadwood Dick. If Je wasn’t performing an acting role on stage, he was found accompanying several productions as the drummer in the pit band. But let’s face it, if you knew Je , did he really ever stop performing? He truly remained theatrical until his dying day.

After he and his family returned to New York, he went to work for his other brother Joe alongside Mark under Sabo Construction. His many years of construction took a toll on his body, forcing him to seek employment in other ways. He went to work for Star Headlight and Lantern Company in December of 1995 and worked there for 25 years until his retirement in January of 2020.

Je was kind and funny with a laugh that was infectious and distinctive, a great musician in whom some would describe as a bit full of himself and a fantastic basketball and soccer player. However, he was a poor story and joke teller, yet still managed to make anyone listening laugh. He also enjoyed his intimate conversations with lifelong friends, especially while tipping a few back. He also loved to sh and cook Texas BBQ, for which he was able to teach such techniques to both his sons. His time shing was precious to him. It provided him time to re ect with God, music, and family.

Je was predeceased by his mother, Carol E. (Peck) Sabo, his estranged father, Joseph Sabo, his Great-Grandmother & GreatGrandfather Peck, his Grandparents, Mildred & Adrian Peck, and his brother, Mark Sabo as well as his in-laws, Richard & Betty Carney. He is survived by his loving partner and wife, Linda of over 42 years, his children, James & Noelle (DeVoy), Jon & Stacy (Stanton) and Margaret (Maggie) & Kris Peerman along with his nine grandchildren, Caleb, Clyde, Conor, Eliza, Noah & Myra Sabo as well as Grace, Josephine and Korbyn Peerman with three extended grandchildren, Avery Peerman, Gabriella & Samantha Stanton. He is also survived by his siblings, Joseph & Donna (McNinch) Sabo, Sandy & James Batton and Kelly Quackenbush; his uncle and aunt, Henry & Peggy Peck; his in-laws, Je & Julie Carney, Mark Carney, Faith (Carney) & David Mastin, Al & Mary (Carney) Landino; his nieces and nephews, Rhiannon Antico, Heather French, Adam Rathbun, Elizabeth & Carlton Wetherby, Jay & Jason Carney, Jereme & Michael Carney, Brandon Mastin, Lauren Valerio, Collin Landino and Stephanie Irving; along with 25 great-nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Things To Look For In A New Job

Salary: Of course everyone would love to earn more money when changing jobs, but there is more to changing jobs than just improving your bottom line. As you begin your job search, consider how much you currently earn and if that allows you to live a life you love. If so, don’t overemphasize finding a new job that pays considerably more than your currently earn. On the flip side, young professionals who want to start a family in the years ahead should consider the costs associated with such a decision and how the salaries they earn at their next jobs may affect what they want down the road.
