Groundbreaking at Tioga Downs for Multi-Million Dollar Expansion Most significant milestone at Tioga Downs
Community leaders, supporters, politicians and Tioga Downs officials stood shoulder to shoulder and turned the earth with golden shovels on October 30, 2015, breaking ground on a major expansion at the entertainment complex in Nichols. Tioga Downs is moving forward with the multi-million dollar casino project now that the New York State Gaming Facility Location Board has recommended awarding the state’s final full casino gaming license to Tioga Downs. The ground breaking ceremony represents a
proactive approach to the buildout of the proposed destination resort in anticipation of the successful award of a full gaming license. Special guests US Congressman Tom Reed, Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, Assemblyman Gary Finch and Assemblyman Clifford Crouch all spoke on the significant investment in the community that this represents. The expansion will lead to local workforce growth in terms of 840 new direct and indirect jobs. Always committed to investing in the community, the expansion will allow Tioga
Ribbon Cutting at Nichols Bridge
Downs to further assist small businesses and charitable causes. The political leaders also thanked Jeff Gural, owner of Tioga Downs, for his commitment to the Southern Tier and expressed their excitement for the abundant opportunity that a full gaming license will bring to the region. Jeff Gural thanked everyone for their support as Tioga Downs pursued the full gaming license. A thank you reception with a champagne toast to celebrate the announcement was held immediately following the groundbreaking.
“Today’s event represents the most significant milestone here at Tioga Downs since the doors opened for business many years ago,” said Gural. “We can’t say thank you enough to Governor Cuomo, the Gaming Facility Location Board as well as each and every person that demonstrated their support for a full gaming license at Tioga Downs. We would not be standing here today breaking ground on an exciting future without the help from every one of you.” www.tiogadowns.com.
Owego’s Holiday Showcase Saturday, November 14, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
A ribbon cutting ceremoney was held on October 29 at the county’s newly replaced East River Road Bridge over the Wappessening Creek in Nichols. The old bridge, built in 1920, was reaching the end of its service life. There was significant deterioration of the bridge deck and the concrete support structure. It was also prone to catching debris during high water events. The bridge project also allowed the
Village of Nichols to move the driveway to Kirby Park more west of the bridge to allow better sight distance for park goers to safely exit the park. The Village of Nichols, working with the county, Town of Nichols and the contractors, also put a pad for parking on the south side of the park. This pad helps alleviate parking in the mud, in the spring and during heavy rains, when the park has large events.
Start your holiday shopping at home on Saturday, November 14, when the Historic Owego Marketplace opens the doors on its festive Holiday Showcase. Santa will arrive in the village by horse drawn carriage at 11:00 am with a route through downtown. He then takes up his chair at the Tioga Arts Council on Front Street where all the children may visit him and pose for pictures taken by Mom or Dad. The enchantment continues with free carriage rides for all, departing from in
front of the Barleycorn until 3:00 pm. Stop by the Riverow Bookshop where the BonFed Cartoonictures will re-create your likeness as never before. Juggler Will Stafford will be performing throughout downtown, bringing fun and wonder to young and old. Watch out for that wandering Photo Booth that may catch the smile in your eyes in a wink of time. Music for sure and happiness for all. Don't miss it.

Home Textile Tool Museum Buys Orwell Grange The Home Textile Tool Museum (HTTM) in Orwell, PA, recently completed a phenomenal summer season of Saturday programs and workshops. The unique hands-on museum welcomed nearly 500 visitors who enjoyed a sheep shearing day, a fleece to shawl competition, a presentation on 17th and 18th century samplers, and a Wool Waulking Day. Residents of the northern tier of PA and the southern tier of New York comprise the majority of visitors to the museum. In addition to the varied programs and workshops that took place this summer at the Home Textile Tool Museum, there was excitement about the purchase of the Orwell Grange Hall building located across the road from the current
museum buildings which are in the village of Orwell and have been a museum since 1999. HTTM purchased the Grange property in August and plans to use the added space for workshops, special programs, exhibits and storage. The building has been essentially empty for about 10 years so it is in need of structural repair, carpentry, exterior and interior painting, and ADA modifications. Renovations may take two to three years depending on available funding. HTTM’s program committee is putting together an exciting schedule of Saturday events and workshops for 2016. The museum hopes to offer workshops on weaving in the near future. Look for detail s at their website after the New Year: www.hometextiletoolmuseum.org

The Lockwood United Methodist Church will purchase new propane gas furnaces to replace the current furnaces which burn fuel oil. New furnaces along
with new cold air returns need to be installed. The work was bid out to area installers. The new furnaces will ensure that a warm Lockwood United Methodist Church is available for welcoming friends and neighbors for worship every Sunday morning at 9:30 am, and to the Open Door Mission Emergency Food Pantry and the Church Care Bag Ministry held every Friday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

AMBA Wellness Program - November 14 The New York State Women, Inc. Susquehanna Chapter (formerly Owego Business and Professional Women) is sponsoring its semi-annual AMBA Wellness Program from 6:00 to 10:00 am, Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Owego Methodist Church at 261 Main Street. The AMBA Wellness Program includes blood tests for coronary disease, liver and kidney disease, anemia, diabetes and other types of diseases. The cost for the full AMBA panel, including the NYS Women, Inc. sponsorship fee is $47.00 (cash or check only). The following optional tests are also available for an additional fee and require a separate script from a physician: Prostrate Specific Antigen (PSA), TSH, Vitamin D - 25, Hemo- globin A1C and Insure Colon Rectal Kit. Pam Pringle chairperson said, “With
the changes in health insurance, many people find themselves with high deductibles to be met before any services are covered.

Tioga Downs Thanks Community
Last month, the New York Gaming Facility Location Board selected Tioga Downs for the state’s final full casino gaming license. Tioga Downs credits the outpouring of community, political and public support over the past several months for making this decision possible. “Many members of the community were instrumental in demonstrating to the State that awarding a license to Tioga Downs would positively impact our region,” said owner Jeff Gural. “I would like to personally thank the selection committee, Governor Cuomo and the many municipalities and community leaders who made this license for Tioga Downs a reality. In addition, we appreci-

ate every single person who wrote a letter, sent an email or spoke in favor of a full gaming license for Tioga Downs at the public hearing. Your showing of support made all the difference in allowing us to move forward and begin transforming Tioga Downs into a full gaming resort.”
Once complete, Tioga Downs will be transformed into a $195 million regional entertainment destination. The expansion will also represent a significant investment in the local workforce in the form of 840 new direct and indirect jobs and $145 million of spending for the State of New York. Always committed to investing in the community, the expansion will allow Tioga Downs to further assist small businesses and charitable causes. To thank the community for its support, Tioga Downs on October 14 offered free dinner buffet to all guests. “It’s just one small way of saying thanks for believing in us and allowing us to move forward with this exciting new chapter at Tioga Downs,” said Gural.

November 10, 2000 Apalachin Brownie Troop presented a new flag to the Apalachin Library last month. The flag was donated by Arlene and Gene Kucharski of Apalachin. They obtained the flag from Congressman Maurice Hinchey. Boy Scout Troop 32 of Apalachin (below) retired the old flag and presented it to the Owego VFW Ladies Auxiliary for proper disposal.
4-H Volunteer of the Year The NYS 4-H Office announced that John King, Tioga County, has been selected as the NYS 4-H Volunteer of the Year and Ron Niedemaier, Livingston County, has been chosen as our Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer. Both volunteers will be recognized at the New York State 4-H Foundation Annual Meeting on November 12, at the Moakley House in Ithaca. John and Ron's nominations have also been sent to National 4-H Council for regional and national consideration. Regional winners will be announced in February, and national winners in April during National 4-H Volunteer Week. John King is an eight-year 4-H Shooting Sports volunteer in Tioga County. He first became involved in the 4-H Program when he enrolled his three children in the 4-H Shooting Sports and Livestock Programs. He then became a volunteer, and is now is the lead instructor in the Tioga County 4-H Shooting Sports
Program. A parent in his group said, “He is an excellent youth mentor who promotes the 4-H Shooting Sports program at the county, state, and national level.” John continually focuses on firearms safety, leadership development, and encourages members to develop their skills and take advantage of 4-H leadership development opportunities. One of his 4Hers said, “Since that first air rifle class, the one that set off the spark in my enthusiasm for shooting sports, Mr. King has taught me and numerous other kids the importance of firearm safety, responsible behavior, and how to properly shoot.” He thoroughly understands the 4-H Program and is committed and dedicated to its principles and goals. One of John's fellow instructors says, “The enthusiasm John displays, the interest he takes in the development of the youth in our 4-H programs is infectious.”
