Statement by Adam Schumacher “I’m hon-
ored that the voters of Tioga County have voted me as their new County Court Judge by way of victories in yesterday’s Republican and Conservative Primary Elections. It is
truly humbling to have won with approximately 80% of the vote - an overwhelmingly margin. “With no other candidates on the ballot in November, this race is effectively over. “When I take office in January, the people of Tioga County can be assured that I will serve with honor and integrity, and that every person that comes into the courtroom stands before a judge who will treat them with respect and dignity. “Thank you to the people of Tioga County. I won’t let you down.”
The Town of Nichols has been named one of four communities to take part in New York State’s ConnectALL program, an initiative aimed at bringing affordable broadband internet access to rural communities across the state. The ConnectALL program will work to transform New York’s digital infrastructure and expand broadband access, affordability, and equity statewide. In the Town of Nichols, the capital funding provided by ConnectALL, along with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds provided by the Tioga County Legislature, and ARPA funds from the Town of Nichols, will allow Southern Tier Network (STN) to build a 35-mile open access, fiber-to-the
premise network to reach unserved and underserved households. STN will collaborate with Tioga County, the Town of Nichols, and New York Power Authority (NYPA) to complete the project. A public meeting will be held on Thursday, July 14, at 7:00 pm at the Nichols Fire District Community Hall, 39 W River Road in Nichols. Representatives from the participating partners and the internet service provider will be on hand to share information about the project, answer questions, and help residents and businesses sign up. Work for the project will begin in the summer of 2022. For more information, visit: https://NicholsFiber.com

“Owego Hose Team Golf Tournament Celebrates 5th Anniversary”
One of the largest charity tournaments in the Southern Tier held at Tioga Golf Club in Nichols
Owego Hose Teams, Inc. hosted its 5th Annual Memorial Golf Tournament last month at the Tioga Golf Club in Nichols. The tournament is one of the largest charity golf tournaments in the Southern Tier with 67 teams that played this year comprising 268 golfers. Nearly 100 sponsors supported the event. Tournament organizers celebrated a 5th straight year with more than 64 teams. “We pride ourselves in running a first class golf tournament,” said Tournament Co-Chair Lou Striley. “The numbers don’t lie. Every year we are at capacity and have a waiting list because people want to play the Hose Team tournament.” Funding raised from the tournament support scholarships for graduating Owego Free Academy seniors pursuing a first responder field; maintenance costs for the recently restored Baker Fireman’s Fountain in the Village of Owego’s Courthouse Square; and funding for the restoration for the Owego Fire Department’s 1866 Amoskeag Steam Fire Engine and associated “Steamer House” that is being built on North Avenue. The tournament paid for 40% of Baker Fireman’s Fountain
Restoration costs and funded $5,500 in scholarships to date. Winning the tournament this year was the Fred Ulrich team that included David Ulrich, Jorden Updyke, and Les Hoyt who shot a 56 or 15 under par. Adding to the excitement of the day, Steve Kovall of Endicott hit a hole in one on hole nine (9) worth $11,000. Kovall said, “All of this wouldn’t have been possible without the Hose Team’s hard work, and it is very appreciated.” The tournament also memorializes deceased Hose Team Members including Fallen Owego Firefighters Steve Gavin and Matt Porcari who both died in the line of duty. Incorporated as a not for profit in 2015, Owego Hose Teams, Inc. have been competing in modern firematics since 1951. 2021 year marked their 70th anniversary season. Hose races are timed events where firefighters test their skills. Teams of five members must connect nozzles to hoses, hoses to hoses, and hoses to the fire hydrant, and knock down targets in the quickest time in the ladder, wye, and straight lay competitions. Hose races improve basic firefighting skills.
