Commissioners won’t press reversal of terrorism law By DAVID HULSE

ILFORD, PA — After a second round of appeals to the Pike County Commissioners last Wednesday, members of Newfoundland’s Sanctuary Church got a formal response to their requests, but not the one they sought. Three weeks ago Commissioners Chair Rich Caridi noted that the “national stage,” which church members asked the panel to enter, was new for Pike County. Last week, it looked more international, as Americans of Arabian, Cambodian, French and Korean backgrounds lobbied them with concerns about the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which the administration uses as legal justification for continuing warfare actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Church protestors say the law, which succeeded 2001 military authorizations passed after 9/11, is unconstitutional. In October, Pastor Sean Moon called it a “racist, bigoted law that allows indefinite imprisonment of citizens—Asian Americans.” The group sought to have Pike adopt a resolution, drawn by People against the NDAA (PANDA,) a national movement against NDAA, declaring its unconstitutionality and calling on the Pennsylvania legislature to “interpose itself” between the federal government and state residents in NDAA’s enforcement. Moon’s son, Paul Moon, recalled how his missionary grandfather was “detained illegally, beaten and left for dead in Korea.” Narry Ouk told of her father’s imprisonment by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, during the Vietnam War. Mohamed Ayad said “My name makes me a target. I have personal experience of people disappearing after 9/11, sent to prison in Morocco. You may have heard of tyranny. I have lived it. For me, it’s do or die.” Last month the commissioners directed solicitor ThomContinued on page 4

Not enough bats in U.S. belfries By DAVID HULSE

ARROWSBURG, NY — Long villainized in horror movies, bats mean big money to the U.S. economy, and their numbers are being depleted by disease and technology, according to Howard Whidden. Whidden, a professor of Mammalogy Systematics and Conservation Biology at East Stroudsburg University, detailed an ongoing study of bat species and populations in the Upper Delaware before the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) on November 6. Prefacing local work, Whidden cited a 2011 Science Magazine article that provides a number of illuminating statistics on the national problem, as well as the economic impact caused by of a disruption of one link in an ecosystem: One colony of 150 big brown bats in Indiana consume 1.3 million pest insects annually; the loss of bats as an insect predator would cost North American agriculture $3.7 billion annually, up to $53 billion if pesticides are required as alternatives. And the latter figure does not include downstream environmental impacts from increased pesticide use. Bat numbers are in decline due to disease and technology, such as wind turbines. White nose syndrome is a fungus disease, believed to have been imported from Europe on the gear of cave explorers. Introduced at New York’s Howe Caverns in 2005-06, it has been ravaging hibernating bat colonies in Northeastern caves and has spread south and to the central states. From bat census numbers before and after the disease’s introduction, scientists have found various species have decreased from 12% to 91%. Technology, in the form of wind turbines, has also taken a high toll on migratory bats. Whidden said that the sonar-type guidance that bats use in flying apparently does not detect the action of turbine fans. There are no known numbers, but he characterized the impact as a “massive mortality” annually. According to the Science Magazine article, “by 2020 an estimated 33,000 to 111,000 bats will be killed annually by wind turbines in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands alone.” Adding to the concern, bats normally are long-lived and have a low reproduction rate, producing only one or two young annually.

Local studies Using stationary and mobile acoustic monitoring of their movements, Whidden has been studying native and

Study participant Larry Laubach said this year’s studies between Shohola and Stockport included 10 to 12 nights in June and July. Laubach said some species showed losses reflecting national statistics. The big brown bat, historically one of the most abundant, has been affected locally. However, the little brown bat, which has been depleted in the Middle Delaware, still has a relatively wide distribution in the Upper Delaware. Estimated numbers Continued on page 3

Safety cages and belt-tightening for Honesdale By LINDA DROLLINGER

ONESDALE, PA —A minor traffic accident in an alleyway last week sparked action at the November 10 meeting of the Honesdale Borough Council. Although no explosion or fire resulted when a gas meter was struck by a vehicle, the council decided to take the gas company up on its offer to install safety cages around gas meters wherever requested. Remarking that the accident could have been much worse, fire chief Steve Bates recalled an earlier incident on Church Street in which a vehicle sheared off a gas meter, producing a devastating fire. Not all meters will merit cages; the council will request them only for those meters on commercial and residential properties with traffic flow exposure. Mayor Jack Bishop introduced the other pressing public safety concern: how to pay for 24/7 police protection in the face of rapidly dwindling financial resources. Asking Bishop to elaborate on his mention of talks with numerous borough residents and police chief Rick Southerton (absent from the meeting), safety chair Bob Jennings said he thought the public, as well as the council, deserved to know what had been discussed in those talks. That prompted council president James Brennan to say that he had instigated the talks by sending letters to Southerton and director of public works Rich Doney, asking both men to explore drastic cost-saving measures for their respective departments. Among the ideas discussed for the police department were eliminating the third shift, having one-man patrols during the day, and augmenting borough police protection with state trooper assignments. But Bishop said that residents were overwhelmingly opposed to any cuts in police protection, insisting on nothing less than 24/7 coverage. In the end, the council voted to reduce the number of patrol officers from two to one on non-holiday weekdays, through year-end 2014. Bill Canfield cast the only negative vote. Finance committee chair Scott Smith read aloud the cost of staff salaries and the amount of funds available to meet those costs, noting that funds are so tightly stretched that overtime pay necessitated by as little as one snowstorm could render the borough unable to meet its payroll obligations. In light of that situation, all nonessential expenditures will be postponed until 2015, and the borough has obtained permission from its creditors to make interest-only payments on outstanding debt during November and December, with the understanding that it will pay off the principal in January and February. The council will hold a special meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 17 to review the proposed 2015 budget and to revisit 2014 budget shortfalls.

Correction The article in last week’s issue of The River Reporter titled “Tusten passes budget with one dissent” contained two errors. First, Councilman Lang could not vote “no” via email on the proposed budget because he was not in attendance at the meeting. Second, the salary of the bookkeeper, Karen Valenti, was incorrect. The salary is $41,340.

New invasive insect in PA

Pike to receive transportation funds MILFORD, PA — Pike County will receive $461,725 for the construction of the Mott Street Pedestrian Bridge to connect Milford with the National Park Service’s McDade Trail, Milford Knob and the Pinchot Trail. It is one of 56 projects in Pennsylvania to improve transportation alternatives that are in line to receive $33 million in federal funds, PennDOT secretary Barry J. Schoch announced on November 10. Transportation alternative projects enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities, improve access to public transportation, create safe routes to school, preserve historic transportation structures, provide environmental mitigation, create trails that serve a transportation purpose, and promote safety and mobility. “These awards represent yet another way PennDOT is working to broaden the reach of transportation investments in Pennsylvania,” Schoch said. “Combined with awards from the new state Multimodal Fund and the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Fund, this program opens the door to an even wider variety of improvements for the people of Pennsylvania.”

Couple arrested for using deceased mother’s debit card ROSCOE, NY — A man who pleaded guilty in 2009 to keeping his dead mother in a freezer so he could cash her Social Security checks, has been arrested again. Roland J. Auslander, 75, of Cooks Falls, was arrested on November 4 by the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office on a charge of grand larceny. Auslander and his girlfriend, Wendy Kavanaugh, 47, of Roscoe, are accused of using her deceased mother’s debit card to withdraw money from the bank. Deputies allege that Kavanuagh’s mother, Betty Cox, passed away at her Roscoe home at 6 pm on September 30, and within 30 minutes, Auslander and Kavanuagh were at an ATM withdrawing money from her account. Neither defendant was a co-signer on the account. The pair was captured on bank video surveillance. Auslander was convicted in 2009 of keeping his deceased mother’s body in a freezer on his porch for nearly a year and a half while he cashed her Social Security checks. He spent six months in jail and is currently on probation in Delaware County for that case. Auslander was arraigned in the Town of Rockland court and sent to the Sullivan County Jail without bail. Kavanaugh’s bail was set at $2,500. Both defendants are due back in court on Thursday.

HARRISBURG, PA — An invasive insect new to the United States that has the potential to impact grape vines, fruit trees and the hardwood industries has been discovered in Berks County, prompting the immediate quarantine of two townships. The spotted lanternfly, an inch-long black, red and white spotted pest, is native to China, India, Japan and Vietnam. It’s an invasive species in Korea, where it has attacked 25 plant species that also grow in Pennsylvania. “Since this is new to the country we are taking every precaution possible,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “Help us by looking for adult insects and their egg clusters on your trees, cars, outside furniture—any flat surface that the eggs may be attached to.” The spotted lanternfly attacks grapes, apples, pines and stone fruits. It often attaches to the bark of Tree of Heaven—sometimes referred to as Paradise Tree—an invasive species similar to sumac that can be found around parking lots or along tree lines. Adults often cluster in groups and lay egg masses containing 30 to 50 eggs that adhere to flat surfaces including tree bark. Freshly laid egg masses have a grey waxy mudlike coating, while hatched eggs appear as brownish seedlike deposits in four to seven columns about an inch long. Trees attacked by the spotted lanternfly will show a grey or black trail of sap down the trunk. The general quarantine of the two townships restricts movement of any material or object that can spread the pest. This includes firewood or wood products; brush or yard waste; remodeling or construction materials and waste; packing material like boxes; grapevines for decorative purposes or as nursery stock; and any outdoor household articles like lawnmowers.

Sullivan, Delaware reject Cuomo REGION — Although Gov. Andrew Cuomo was easily elected to a second term on a statewide basis, locally he didn’t fare as well with voters in Sullivan and Delaware counties. In Sullivan County, Cuomo, a Democrat running on several lines, received 7,881 votes; Astorino, the Republican challenger received 17,433 votes; Howie Hawkins, running on the Green Party ticket, received 686; Libertarian candidate Michael McDermott won 119 votes; Steve Cohn, running on the Sapient line, received 35. There were 731 blank votes in the race for governor In Delaware County, Cuomo received 4,027, Astorino got 7,037, Hawkins 799, McDermott 83, Cohn 18. There were 233 blanks. MEMBER NYPA • MEMBER NNA

Community grieves for murdered shopkeeper By ANYA TIKKA

ORT JERVIS, NY — In the city hall full of grieved faces and sadness, Port Jervis Police Chief William Worden announced that the combined efforts of law enforcement agencies across the Tri-State area had swiftly caught up with the perpetrator of the brutal beating that led to the death of Josef Kucher, an older, beloved Port Jervis shoe store owner, within 24 hours of the crime. Flanked by a line of police officers and city and county officials, Worden spoke first, followed by Orange County District Attorney David M. Hoovler, and Port Jervis Mayor Kelly Decker. Dennis McBee, 29, of 82 Seward Ave., will be charged with murder in the second degree, a class A felony. Hoovler said he’ll seek the maximum penalty if McBee is proven guilty. He has a criminal history in Pennsylvania, and he was caught due to an invaluable tip from a member of the community, and the cooperation of law enforcement officials across the region, law enforcement officials said. Hoovler’s message was direct: “My of-

fice will not tolerate despicable attacks like this on responsible, civic-minded people such as Mr. Kucher, by criminal opportunists who regard the elderly as easy targets. We will do everything in our power to see that elderly victims get the justice they deserve and that criminals who commit acts like this get all the punishment those acts have earned them. We will seek maximum prison sentences for those who assault and steal from vulnerable elderly victims.” He went on to acknowledge Kucher’s status among the community, saying he’d never seen the room as full anywhere he’d given press conferences in Port Jervis. Worden praised Kucher’s life and work in his remarks, saying the 77-year-old was an Austrian immigrant who came to this country, served in the U.S. Army, and became a well-known figure in the tightly knit community to whom anyone could go for help. Decker said, “This shows evil lurks among us. We as a society must begin to fight back to save our children and ourselves from this degradation.” He went on to condemn movies and music that “glorify sex, drugs and violence.”

This was their second loss,” Larry said referring to the Kucher’s son, who was killed in a car accident some years ago. “He was a man if you needed something done and you wouldn’t have [the means], he would carry you. He came to America in 1959 and served in the army for two years. When he came to this country he fell in love with it and didn’t want to go back. He left his mark.” Kucher is survived by his wife, son, and grandchildren.

Sullivan fraud investigation update

BATS Continued from page 1

in colonies at Lackawaxen, Ten Mile River and Cochecton Station have increased from 300 to 650 this year, he said. Cochecton UDC delegate Larry Richardson noted that the bats are “not tidy tenants.” There is no cure for white nose fungus and efforts to make wind turbines more bat-friendly have failed. Westfall delegate Chuck Pranski asked about the possibility of introducing European bats, which have developed immunity to the white nose fungus. Whidden said that as far as he knew such an option had not been considered. There are other measures available to assist bat populations. Whidden said artificial roosting units, “bat boxes,” are being used. Two of these have been mounted near the Zane Grey Museum in Lackawaxen. A Penn State study found bats will use boxes mounted in areas receiving at least seven hours of sunlight daily, when traditional roosts in buildings are sealed. Laubach noted that bats will still seek building roosts. They should be removed carefully— fishing landing nets are often used—while avoiding direct contact, as rabies infection is a continuing concern.

“We can go on tomorrow to show that we, as humans, care for one another, that we have respect for ourselves and each other. We need to teach our children by example,” he said. “The motive was robbery,” Worden said when asked if the murderer knew Kucher. “We’re still investigating further. At this time, we can’t comment further.” “Very nice person, very caring, hardworking. He would give you the shirt off his back; that’s the kind of person he was,” said a teary Robin Onofry who went to the shop in Front Street after the press conference to sign one of the message boards that had spontaneously sprung up on the window of Kucher’s shop. “I’m really grateful to the police they caught his murderer so quickly. “He would probably have given him what he had in the cash register if he had asked. It’s so awful he went this way,” she continued. Kucher attended church every Sunday, opening doors, greeting people and preparing the service. He was the person whom you could always rely on for help, several people said. Larry and Candice Stanzo stood out-

ONTICELLO, NY — The initiative in Sullivan County to attack welfare fraud began in March 2013 with the hiring of Gerald Dietz to the position of chief fraud investigator, initially working in the Sullivan County Division of Family Services (DFS). Dietz and the fraud team were ultimately moved into the Sullivan County District Attorney’s office, and the team is now comprised of three investigators, who work exclusively to prevent and prosecute welfare fraud. At a meeting at the government center on November 6, Sullivan County District Attorney Jim Farrell gave an update about the progress the team has made to date. Three DFS employees had earlier been arrested for various violations. Farrell said Darlene Conklin had been ordered to pay $2,500 in restitution, George Conklin had been ordered to pay $1,300 in restitution, and they, along with Rhonda Roach were sentenced to probation. Farrell said that since the beginning of the initiative there have been a total of 79 arrests, and the amount of benefits that went to individuals related to those arrests totals about $500,000. He said, “The total amount of public assistance alleged to have been stolen amounts to $105,000.” The amount from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly food stamps) was $115,000. The amount from Medicaid was $260,000, from the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) was about $10,000 and from child care was about $10,000. Farrell said there are 30 active prosecutions pending in criminal courts, which he said, “is a tremendous change from before all of this started.”

Responding to criticism Farrell said, “There has been some criticism of the fraud team in that we’re going after folks who are poor and have no other means. That’s not true. We are going after people who have been criminally taking advantage of the systems that have been put in place for the poor, and that money should be going to the people who need it, and not to the people who don’t”.

He said that if the amount of money alleged to have been stolen was small enough, his office does not initiate a prosecution. He said, “We have a standard non-prosecution agreement which is entered into, and this is best practice quite frankly in other fraud initiatives, and we enter into agreements with folks to pay back the money.” Farrell said that his office is involved in the process “to make sure that the criticism that I have heard does not become a reality.” On the other hand, he said that his office wants “to make sure that Sullivan County not a welfare destination.” Legislator Kitty Vetter asked for clarification about the amount of money alleged to be involved that would trigger a prosecution, and it was noted that George Conklin was asked to repay $1,300. Farrell said he does not view the case of a DFS employee stealing from the programs in the same way that he views a recipient of services who receives more benefits than he or she is entitled to.

Foster homes and adoptions At the same meeting there was a discussion about the state of foster homes and adoptions in Sullivan County. Legislator Cindy Gieger read a resolution noting that November is National Adoption Month and, “This year we focus on promoting and supporting sibling connections and the importance of supporting and maintaining sibling ties.” The rate of children being removed from their homes in Sullivan County because of concerns about being safe in the home environment has risen in recent months. The total number of children being held in county custody now is about 90. DFS Commissioner Randy Parker said that of the 10 children “taken into care” in the past month, perhaps five will be returned to their biological parents and the rest would need foster parents or adoptive parents. He said, “What we tell people locally who are interested in adopting is that one way they may end up adopting a child is through the foster care system, by becoming a foster parent.” He said there are 13 children whose parents have lost their parental rights, and those children will become available for adoption. He said the biggest need is for homes that “will take teenagers and homes that will take sibling groups.”

Wayne group battles Citizens United By FRITZ MAYER

ONESDALE, PA — The advocacy group Wayne Citizens to Reclaim Democracy issued a press release pointing out that there were dozens of ballot measures across the country in this past election that supported a constitutional amendment to reverse the impact of the Citizens United and other decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) that allow unlimited spending by corporations to influence elections. In the ballot measures, citizens from both sides of the aisle voted overwhelmingly in favor of the amendment, which basically says that money is not speech, as SCOTUS has ruled, and corporations are not people. According to Movetoamend.org, “In Mentor and Chagrin Falls, Ohio the votes were respectively 66% and 70% in support. In Alachua County, Florida, voters supported Move to Amend’s campaign by 72%. Voters in Edwardsville, IL supported Move to Amend’s resolution by 77%.” The organization says that 16 state legislatures and 600 towns, villages and cities have voted in favor of the amendment. This comes as corporations, candidates, superpacs and

others spent $4 billion on advertising in the midterm election, making it the most expensive midterm in history. Critics of the amendment say the constitutional amendments would take away the First Amendment free speech rights of the wealthy and of corporations. But proponents, including Sen. Chuck Schumer, say the right of free speech is not absolute, which is why there can be limits or bans on some speech such as child pornography. Further, supporters say free speech rights need to be balanced with the ideal of one person, one vote, which is as deeply enshrined in the constitution as the right of free speech. “Our elected representatives are most likely to answer to those who keep them in the money,” said Katharine Dodge, founder of Wayne Citizens to Reclaim Democracy. “In today’s current political scene, the candidates with the most airtime and the slickest campaigns are going to win. That means lots of money to pay those who will promote them. It takes thousands if not millions of individual supporters to equal the amounts given by just one billionaire or one superpac. Is this reflecting the voices and needs of the ordinary citizen?” The proposed amendment has two sections. Section one

Deconstructing Corbett’s loss

By FRITZ MAYER

ARRISBURG, PA — Election night was a good night for Republicans across the country, and it was also a good night for a majority of Republicans in Pennsylvania. Voters gave the GOP three more seats in the state Senate, bringing their majority to 30 to 20 Democrats, and gave them eight more seats in the House, bringing the Republican advantage to 119 versus 84 Democrats—the highest number of Republicans since the 1950s. Against that backdrop, it’s rather striking that Republican Gov. Corbett lost the election to businessman Tom Wolf, becoming the first Pennsylvania governor in 40 years not to be elected to two consecutive terms. At an election-night address, Corbett himself explained to supporters that he had been defeated because he kept his 2010 campaign promises. He said, “We delivered on the promises we made in 2010 of fiscal discipline, of limited government and of free enterprise. And when I made those promises, I said I was going to do what is right for Pennsylvania, make the tough decisions, and people may not like it. Well, obviously they didn’t like it.” Others have different explanations. Writing in the York Daily Record on November 7, columnist Mike Argento opined that Corbett’s downfall was directly tied to the treatment of Joe Paterno, the head coach at Penn State who was fired after the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal surfaced. It was reported that Corbett, the former attor-

ney general, was involved in that decision. Paterno subsequently died, and Argento wrote, “Corbett, a lot of people believed, killed Joe Paterno. In Pennsylvania, there can be no greater sin.” Another reason cited for Corbett’s defeat is that he declined to campaign on at least one issue that was popular with the public: his support for, and eventual passage of, the transportation bill that brought a significant amount of funding to municipalities across the state. In Roll Call on November 6, Tom Curry wrote, “Veteran Pennsylvania pollster and political analyst Terry Madonna at Franklin and Marshall College, said he doubted many Pennsylvania voters even knew that Corbett had opened the spigot for more highway and bridge money. “‘I don’t understand for the life of me why he didn’t use that issue,’ Madonna said, adding, ‘I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times he mentioned it’ in the campaign.” Many analysts and reporters have cited cuts to education as one of the large vulnerabilities Corbett faced going into the election, which, in a paragraph written by Borys Krawczeniuk in republicanherald.com on November 7, tied that issue to gas drilling. Krawczeniuk wrote, “As he took office, $1.1 billion in federal recovery act money that Gov. Ed Rendell placed in the education budget went away. Corbett could have replaced it with revenues from a tax on the extraction of Marcellus Shale natural gas. He didn’t, arguing that might chase away gas drillers and would violate his election campaign pledge against raising taxes.”

says, “The rights protected by the Constitution of the United States are the rights of natural persons only. “Artificial entities established by the laws of any State, the United States, or any foreign state shall have no rights under this Constitution and are subject to regulation by the People, through Federal, State, or local law. “The privileges of artificial entities shall be determined by the people, through federal, state, or local law, and shall not be construed to be inherent or inalienable.” Section two says, “Federal, state, and local government shall regulate, limit, or prohibit contributions and expenditures, including a candidate’s own contributions and expenditures, to ensure that all citizens, regardless of their economic status, have access to the political process, and that no person gains, as a result of their money, substantially more access or ability to influence in any way the election of any candidate for public office or any ballot measure. “Federal, State, and local government shall require that any permissible contributions and expenditures be publicly disclosed. “The judiciary shall not construe the spending of money to influence elections to be speech under the First Amendment.”

Christopher Friend, writing on the website www.phillymag.com, said Corbett lost because he simply wasn’t up to the job. He wrote, “He didn’t lose because he was too far Right, as the Left propagates: The overwhelming GOP gains prove that. Nor was it the (incorrect) perception that he cut public education spending. Such simplifications would be too easy. The loss was an across-the-board failure by a governor way out of his league, one who should never have run in the first place, and certainly shouldn’t have been re-nominated by his out-of-touch party hierarchy.” His opponent, Wolf, in campaigning, repeatedly attacked Corbett as a man who cared much more about wealthy donors than about average constituents. At a rally before steelworkers the day before the election, Wolf said, “We have a long run of being told that if we just let the one percent do things, if we let the minimum wage stay down around $7.25 an hour, if we get rid of all kinds of benefits, that’s going to lead to some good outcomes. Well, now we’ve done that for a long time, it’s not like we’re saying I don’t agree with that, it’s not good for my self interest—and it’s not—but we’ve had enough of this that we can look back and say, ‘actually, that hasn’t worked.’ You know, you hollow out our schools and that really doesn’t help our economy; it certainly doesn’t help my children, but it doesn’t help anybody else either. We create this society where we have supply side, all that kind of stuff—how has that worked out here in Pennsylvania? We’re now 50th in job creation.”

as Farley to research the law and provide advice. Farley reported that he had extensively researched an original federal court finding that found the law unconstitutional and a subsequent appeals court decision, which overturned that ruling. He concluded that he could not “have the commissioners opposing the law when the Second District Court of Appeals says it is constitutional… We must abide by the superior court decision.” Caridi read a brief statement, which all three commissioners had signed. It stated that they support the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and habeas corpus; that the commissioners will always defend the rights of individual citizens, their right to request a court to determine the constitutionality of a law; and that they “will never support a statute that has been deemed unconstitutional by the courts of this Commonwealth or the United States.” Caridi said that his legal position conflicted with his personal feelings. “As a private citizen, I’d sign your resolution in a heartbeat. As a commissioner, I represent 57,000 people. I have to go with this position.” He added, “If you want to go see [U.S. Congressman Tom] Marino, I’ll drive.” Jamal Johnson didn’t expect Pike to take on the federal government. “I just want something in place, close to home, which upholds my security,” he said. Robert Pickell, who identified himself as a Navy veteran, told the commissioners that his friend Jamal would still be property under the pre-Civil War, Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court. “The power comes from the people, not the courts… It’s your responsibility to stand up and say what the Constitution says.” Ayad said, “I’m worried, and I’m not interested in fancy words. I want action.”

Sullivan manager recommends $6.3M infrastructure Roads and bridges have fallen behind

By FRITZ MAYER

ONTICELLO, NY — As in countless municipalities across the country, the roads and bridges in Sullivan County have depreciated more rapidly than they could be maintained and repaired, especially in the years following the Great Recession. To address the situation, which county manager Josh Potosek calls unsustainable, he recommends that the county take on $6.34 million in new debt in 2015 specifically to address county-owned roads and bridges. According to Potosek’s budget message, which was presented to the legislature along with the budget on October 21, that’s necessary due to the Albany-mandated 2% property tax cap. Potosek wrote, “Complying with the New York tax cap law ensures that there is no ‘discretionary’ funding available to maintain local infrastructure at an appropriate level.” The county owns and maintains “385 centerline miles of highway and 401 bridge structures,” which have been maintained but not as much as was needed over the past

decade. Potosek wrote, “The county has invested $41 million over the last 10 years. The annual appropriation has been inconsistent from year to year, with a low of $803,000 in 2005 and a high of $7.7 million in 2010. The inconsistencies in funding make long-term planning difficult. More importantly, over the last 10 years, the percentage of roads not needing any repair work has decreased from 52% in 2004 to 20% today. What would have required a $10.5 million investment in today’s dollars to pave all the roads needing work in 2004 now stands at $63.4 million in 2014.” During the same time, the “amount of poorly rated bridges has increased by 56%,” thus the need for taking on more debt. He also recommended setting up a debt reserve fund to pay down the infrastructure debt using $1.2 million of reserve funds.

Other budget notes Overall, Potosek’s tentative budget calls for an increase in the tax rate of 1.7%, which amounts approximately to

an increase of $19 for every $100,000 of assessed value in a given real estate property. Potosek said the county’s financial shape has improved and the “fund balance has improved dramatically,” but overall challenges remain. In 2013, the county collected $33.8 million in sales tax; for 2014 the county is on track to collect $35.86 million. But Potosek points out that that is still $547,000 less than the sales tax collected in 2008, when the global financial system nearly collapsed. Potosek wrote, “This highlights the fact that our recovery from the recession has been a long and slow process.” While the budget calls for maintaining the county workforce at “relatively flat” levels, a few new hires are proposed. The tentative budget calls for two new deputy sheriff hires, the creation of a public health educator and part time breast feeding councilor in the department of family services, the creation of an administrative secretary in the human resources department, and the creation of a per diem licensed practical nurse at the Adult Care Center.

Vets’ discount cards lead to health checks By DAVID HULSE

ONESDALE, PA — Discount cards at local stores are available to Wayne County military veterans, and Veterans’ Affairs Director Tom McDonnell says the program has helped him provide other services for veterans who would be unlikely to seek them out otherwise. McDonnell told the commissioners that 298 of the cards have recently been printed and when vets come in to get them, he is able to assess them for health services. “They’d never come in without them,” he said. Vets provide their service records to McDonnell when they receive their cards, so McDonnell can ask about likely health impacts from various services. The most common health issue is hearing loss, oc-

curring among half of those who appear. McDonnell also spoke of health issues resulting from radiation damage among those in submarine service and Agent Orange issues among Vietnam vets. Some 75% to 80% of Vietnam vets have Agent Orange conditions. More than 40 local businesses participate in the discount program. The “Veterans Discount Program” link on the Wayne County website identifies all participating businesses. To receive a discount ID card, veterans must bring a copy of their DD 214 to the Wayne County Veterans Affairs Office, 314 10th St., Honesdale, on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 12 noon. No appointment is necessary. In addition to issuing an ID card, McDonnell will review each veteran’s discharge for any potential benefits for which the veter-

an may qualify. Contact Tom McDonnell at 570/253-5970, ext. 3114. In other business at the meeting on November 6, the commissioners heard Elections Office Director Cindy Furman report a 43.1% turnout for the November 4 elections, which compared favorably to the 16.6% turnout for the earlier primaries. Meeting as the board of elections, the commissioners also decided the eligibility of 17 provisional ballots, rejecting nine of them. They also noted the November 19 kickoff event for the 2015 Tourism Grant Program, sponsored by the Wayne County Tourism Promotion Advisory Board. Marketing grants of up to $2,000 are available for out-of-county advertising. The kick-off event will take place at the Belvidere Hotel, 330 Main St. in Hawley, beginning at 4:30 p.m. After November

EDITORIAL

THE RIVER REPORTER

Economically speaking Are you an optimist or a pessimist?

majority of Americans appear to be gripped by a sense of economic anxiety. While many indicators show an improved economy (the unemployment rate is down to 5.8% and growth is up by 3%), average Americans feel left behind in the recovery. Exit polls in last week’s election show that 78% of voters are worried about the direction of the economy. Forty-eight percent said the economy was not good, and another 22% said it is poor. With this as the backdrop, Americans turned to the Republican Party last Tuesday in search of a different solution. Still, a look at current opinion polls indicates that pessimism reigns. In 2006, 40% of American voters predicted that the next generation would be worse off economically, while 30% believed their children would be better off. Last week’s numbers show that the percentage of pessimists has risen to 48%, with optimists weighing in at just 22%. Failing to keep pace with inflation, income for middleclass Americans has not increased since 1999. Whatever you may think of the Occupy movement, “the famed 1% received 95% of all income gains in the first three years of this recovery. And part of the reason for the decline in the jobless rate is a reduction in the labor force to its smallest size in three decades.” (POLITICO) Pessimism is also reflected in the 63% of voters who say that the U.S. economic system generally favors the wealthy, as opposed to the 32% who believe it is fair to most Americans. (Compare these to the pre-recession numbers of 2006, when 56% said the system favors the rich vs. 39% who called it fair.) Just three weeks ago, Janet Yellen, chair of the Federal Reserve, surprised nearly everyone by making a speech about economic inequality in which she spoke of the in-

DR. PUNNYBONE

creasingly unequal distribution of wealth and income (www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/yellen20141017a.htm). “I think it is appropriate to ask whether this trend is compatible with values rooted in our nation’s history, among them the high value Americans have traditionally placed on equality of opportunity,” she said. Her speech focused on four sources of economic opportunity: having the means to raise children, having access to education, having the ability to own and operate a small business and having the opportunity to leave an inheritance for the next generation to build on. We like Yellen’s points so much that we offer them as a roadmap for the 114th Congress when it takes its seat in January. We ask the Republican-controlled congress (1) to raise the minimum wage (Note: every single state with a minimum wage hike on the ballot last week approved it—Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota), (2) to support higher education in ways that help families, especially those with lower incomes and help address the debt burden graduates are saddled with as the cost of college has skyrocketed (the price tag of a college education has risen more than 500% since 1985), (3) to help mitigate obstacles that have been making it harder for entrepreneurs to start and build small businesses, because doing so will help create jobs. (Among middle-class income earners, business start-ups have fallen to a 25-year low, and equity in these businesses has dropped to its lowest level since the mid-1990s), and (4) to address the issue of declining equality of opportunity, a progressive and meaningful estate tax is needed. And in one final footnote to last week’s election, voters in municipalities in Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida, voted overwhelmingly for their legislators to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling and declare that only human beings—not corporations—are entitled to constitu-

tional rights and that money is not speech and campaign spending can be regulated. To date, 16 state legislatures across the country have voted for an amendment, as well as almost 600 towns, villages, cities and numerous organizations. And so, we call on congress to again look at House Joint Resolution 29 introduced February 14, 2013. It reads:

Section 1: Declares that (1) The rights protected by the Constitution are the rights of natural persons only; (2) artificial entities (such as corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities established by the laws of any state, the United States, or any foreign state) shall have no rights under the Constitution and are subject to regulation by the people, through federal, state, or local law; and (3) the privileges of such artificial entities shall not be construed to be inherent or inalienable. Section 2: Directs federal, state and local government to: (1) regulate, limit, or prohibit contributions and expenditures, including a candidate’s own contributions and expenditures, for the purpose of influencing the election of any candidate for public office or any ballot measure; and (2) require that any permissible contributions and expenditures be publicly disclosed. Prohibits the judiciary from construing the spending of money to influence elections to be speech under the First Amendment. Section 3: Prohibits this amendment from being construed to abridge the freedom of the press. Finally, it is a sad commentary that only 36% of eligible voters in the U.S. voted last week. Too many citizens think their votes do not matter, perhaps the ultimate expression of pessimism. Today, if you count yourself among the pessimists, consider how you can become an optimist, by catching the excitement of working to regain the power that democracy put in the hands of the people. You have a vote; exercise it. You have the right of free speech and a voice; use it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Highland resident objects to Petersheim letter I am grateful to receive The River Reporter so I may keep up with the news from my town while I am away. In response to a letter to the editor from Charles Petersheim [in the issue of October 30] (www.riverreporter. com/letters-editor/4302/2014/10/29/petersheim-takeshighland-officials-task-proposed-tax-hike), I feel I must express my opinion. For Charles Petersheim to suggest that Andy Boyar, our supervisor, resign over a proposed tax hike or anything of that nature is preposterous. Andy Boyar is the best thing that ever happened to this town. He and his board have long worked for the best interests of the people of Eldred and Highland Lake. I trust them and look forward to their good town governing. Dorothy L. Crowe Highland Lake, NY and Myrtle Beach, SC Continued on page 7

MY VIEW

MIXED GREENS

by Dan Castricone

By Carol Roig

Why I ran for the NY Assembly as a minor party candidate

ran for the Assembly in NY’s 98th district because voters deserved a choice and a chance to support the only candidate willing to oppose Kiryas Joel’s (KJ) plan to annex a large portion of the Town of Monroe. Evidently a lot of voters appreciated having a choice. Running on the United Monroe line, and buried in an obscure place on the ballot, I received nearly 30% of the Orange County vote in a three-way race. But for the block vote, I would have been the highest vote getter in Orange. Had at least one of the two other candidates, Republican Karl Brabenec or Democrat Elisa Tutini, been willing to oppose KJ, I would have bowed out after the Republican primary. But both Brabenec and Tutini owed their primary victories to KJ, and neither dared utter a word in opposition to annexation. Why is annexation the seminal issue of our time? KJ wants to annex more than 500 acres of land in the Town of Monroe. Once KJ has control of the land, another square mile of high-density housing will be built. KJ’s inevitable growth in population will place an unbearable strain on local neighbors and Southern Orange County, overwhelming the capacity of sewage treatment plants, water supplies and local schools. Because 93% of KJ’s population is on Medicaid, and because Medicaid is partially paid for by property taxpayers, taxes will skyrocket. Our political system sits upon a cliff at the edge of an abyss. Currently, KJ’s leadership commands a bloc vote of approximately 7,000 votes, enough to swing the outcome of races in the Town of Monroe and the local Assembly seat. But past is prologue. KJ’s growth has skyrocketed since 1990, growing from 7,400 to more than 21,000, an increase of nearly 300%. Its population density is 12,000 people per square mile, compared to 418 people per square mile for all of Orange County. The average couple in KJ often produces more than eight children. Young girls are rou-

tinely wed not long after they reach puberty. Thousands more wait in Brooklyn for the opportunity to move to KJ. Another square mile of high-density housing and within 15 years KJ’s population will triple. The day is fast approaching when KJ’s block will determine the county executive, district attorney, county clerk, the sheriff, our county judges and who represents the county in the state Senate and the United States Congress. Candidates for those offices will no longer need to appeal to a broad swath of the electorate. They will need only the nod of KJ’s Grand Rabbi. At that point we will have a government of KJ, by KJ, for KJ. My success at the ballot box started a movement that will not die. I or some other candidate will carry on the fight because it is right and just. Indeed, in the neighboring Assembly district, both candidates advertised their opposition to annexation. As voters become more cognizant of KJ’s impact on all of us, including environmental pollution, a depleted water table, over-taxed schools and the burdens KJ places on property taxpayers, they will also become more sensitive to allowing KJ to pick our elected officials. People move to and live in Orange County because they cherish our culture, rural character and the bucolic beauty of our surroundings. Allowing KJ to run roughshod over local zoning laws will destroy the very thing that brought people here to begin with. I will continue doing all in my power to make sure that does not happen even if it means bucking the leadership of the local political elite.

LETTERS

A message to Rep. Gibson on climate change

Continued from page 6

Comments continue on Town of Highland tax increase Supervisor Boyar seems to be so assured of his local position and reputation, that he didn’t even bother to do the hard work of budgeting in 2015. To me, it seems he added up the numbers, put them on paper, and said ‘that’s the best I can do.’ No determined statement about how they will find a way to reduce the tax hike, no articulate vision of expense reduction and shared sacrifice, no yearlong effort to find a way to make the hard choices and decisions required of him. I personally know the real impacts of his failure to lead; some of my neighbors already have a hard time keeping up. Maybe the accolades he received from his anti-domestic energy efforts, his excellent column in The River Reporter, his leading role in the Weather Project, and his general position as elder statesmen confused him as to what allowed him these positions of respect and authority—leadership and financial stewardship. Supervisor Boyar has failed the Town of Highland. Does he care enough to do the hard work to fix his screwup, or will he just continue with the “I-know-best” routine, which in my eyes, has been a total charade? Charles Petersheim Eldred, NY

The elections are over, and now that the dust has settled I’d like to congratulate Chris Gibson on his re-election as our representative in Congress. I am thrilled that he has publicly acknowledged the evidence supporting the human contribution to climate change. Rep. Gibson has indicated that sound environmental policy is one of his priorities, and he is well positioned to help overcome the gridlock in Congress and actually make progress in addressing this issue. Climate change is not some vague future risk. It’s happening now, and will only worsen with time. We’re spending tens of millions of dollars annually to clean up after extreme weather events, and the cost will continue to increase as we attempt to upgrade infrastructure. There is a solution that is so simple it’s hard to believe: a steadily rising fee on carbon at the point of extraction, with 100% return to American households. It has been clearly shown in a detailed analysis by a well recognized nonpartisan economic modeling group (REMI) that this approach will create jobs, cut CO2 to 50% of 1990 levels, and add almost $1 trillion to the GDP over 20 years. I urge Rep. Gibson to stand by his promise, take the lead, and introduce such legislation. It’s a win-win. A revenue neutral carbon fee would not only boost our economy, but would also preserve our world for our children and grandchildren. Barton H. Schoenfeld, MD, FACC Valatie, NY

Sustaining our communities

t’s a bit of a bummer that the Thanksgiving season coincides each year with the formulation of our municipal budgets. While most of us are planning the menu for family gatherings, our town boards are crunching numbers and losing sleep trying to control expenses while ensuring continuity of the basic services that keep us safe. This year, that process had made me more aware than ever of the people who volunteer their skills to help our rural communities thrive. The range of service is enormous, from our volunteer fire departments and ambulance corps to our neighbors who serve on planning and zoning boards and town committees, to our school and library boards, historical societies, service organizations, parents who volunteer as tutors and lead youth programs, beautification committees and those who volunteer at our animal shelters, food banks, soup kitchens, thrift shops and all the various efforts to provide necessities for those in need. For every person who volunteers through a church or community organization, there are many others whose contributions are unquantified, like the friend who drives a neighbor to medical appointments, or stops by to fix a hot meal. The Corporation for National and Community Service, which collects statistics on volunteerism, reports that one in four adults in our country volunteers in some capacity in the course of the year. In 2012, these efforts totaled 7.9 billion hours of service, with an estimated value of $175 billion. Roughly 69% of the nation’s firefighters are volunteers—that’s more than 783,300 individuals. They not only save our lives; across the country, they save their municipalities an estimated $139 billion a year. Volunteers aged 65 and over give the most hours per person, but the good news is that volunteerism continues to grow among younger generations. Americans born between 1960 and 1980 have the highest volunteer rate of any generation, and teenagers aged 16-19 have increased their rate of volunteerism steadily over the past six years. So it looks like this revered tradition of neighbors helping each other and caring for their communities will continue to provide the glue that unites and strengthens us. Our town boards, whose “pay” represents a fraction of the actual time and skill they bring to their civic duties, struggle to balance the needs of the community with the unwritten law that somehow, miraculously, town services can be maintained at the same level of tax levy, despite the rise in cost of living in every other sector—a tough puzzle to solve every November. Volunteers make it possible. Their contributions are irreplaceable and too seldom acknowledged. Churchill famously said: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Volunteering is the purest form of democracy in action, citizens answering the call to do their best for their communities. Yes, there are many challenges. To everyone who strives to be a part of the solution, may I say a humble and heartfelt “thank you” this Thanksgiving.

or as long as most people can remember, a special star has lit up the sky of Narrowsburg during the holiday season. It was originally erected by the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce approximately 60 years ago. Years later, likely in the late 1960s or ‘70s, a new pole was set, and the placement of the star changed slightly. Ed Gettel was responsible for the new rigging and crossbeam replacement, which lasted many years. Also at about that time, the Tusten Lions Club became the volunteers who maintained the star, so that each year the sky shone bright with our own special star. Time has continued to pass, and the star has become an icon that Narrowsburg residents look forward to seeing in the high skies as they cross the bridge from Pennsylvania on their way home, or drive along Route 97, or from various other locations. But time also took its toll. This year it required serious refurbishment. With the combined resources of three of our long-established local organizations, our star will once again brighten the road home as we cross the bridge. The Tusten Lions Club and the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce contributed the funding for the refurbishment, while the Narrowsburg Fire Department provided the hands-on work. We are thankful to the coordinated efforts of these organizations that will make a time-honored tradition continue. Watch for the lighting of the star the weekend of Thanksgiving. With the star being lit we are reminded of the return of the holidays once again. Perhaps the generous spirit of the Tusten Lions Club, Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce and the Narrowsburg Fire Department should spread to us all as we remember those less fortunate and contribute to make their holidays a bit brighter. A list of various local places to donate will appear in the next Narrowsburg News column.

Van Gorders’ opens new location in Milford MILFORD, PA — Long-time Pike County Chamber member Van Gorders’ Furniture recently opened a new showroom in Milford to complement its locations at Lake Wallenpaupack and Honesdale. The Milford showroom at 321 Water St. features a Sealy Mattress Gallery and a selection of traditional brands along with unique rustic and lodge furnishings, which are a Van Gorders’ specialty. “We’re bringing a longstanding business to town, and we feel welcome already,” said proprietor Scott Van Gorder. “We’ve fallen in love with Milford and expect to be here a long time.” Van Gorders’ is a fourth-generation family-owned business that began in 1936 when Ralph Van Gorder founded it as the Honesdale Furniture Exchange within a sprawling four-floor historic landmark that was originally the National Hotel. It has stood at the corner of Church and Sixth Streets since 1865. For more information visit VanGorders.com or call the Milford showroom at 570/296-9610. Continued on page 11

MILFORD, PA — The Pike County Chamber of Commerce recently celebrated the grand opening of its newest member The Paint Parade. This family-owned and operated business by the Horna family moved to the Milford area this past summer from Long Island, NY. The Paint Parade offers arts and crafts services such as open painting sessions, plaster painting with over 200 unique plaster forms to choose from, plaster and canvas painting parties for all ages, BYOB Sip & Paint art classes, bridal showers and bachelorette parties, Mommy/Daddy & Me sessions and parents night out, where parents may drop off their children on Friday nights to enjoy some time alone. Sandy Candy is also a special feature offered every day. There are over 20 flavors of Sandy Candy to fill into a foot-long tube. It looks just like sand art, but it’s edible. The Paint Parade is currently open Wednesday through Sunday. The full schedule and list of services can be found at www.thepaintparade.com or for more information, call 570/409-4484.

Catskill Distilling Company wins “best of” award NEW YORK CITY, NY — The Village Voice “Best of Awards” has named Catskill Distilling Company the best local distillery in New York in 2014. The Voice reported the award this way: “Across the street from the Woodstock Festival grounds sits Catskill Distilling Company, where you can find some of the best spirits in the state. Owner Dr. Monte Sachs, a practicing horse veterinarian, is devoted to craft and innovation, and he developed an accelerated-maturation house that stimulates the flavor compounds and speeds the aging process for his whiskeys. He is constantly incorporating new ingredients into his spirits, many of which are locally sourced. Catskill’s core line includes eye-catchers like Fearless, a complex wheat whiskey imbued with flavors of apple and vanilla bean. Want to learn how to make whiskey? Sachs hosts numerous distilling courses for universities and individuals alike.”

JEFFERSONVILLE, NY — Tuesday, November 18 is School Related Professional (SRP) Day, established to recognize all that SRPs do and to show appreciation for them. The SRPs of Sullivan West are the accounting clerks, building and grounds workers, building maintenance mechanics, cleaners, cooks, food servers, latch-key child-care attendants, school instructional multi-media technicians, secretaries, a sign language interpreter, teachers’ aides and teaching assistants. In additon, join them on Friday, November 28 in the Jeffersonville Firehouse after the Jim Dworetsky Parade. The SRPs of Sullivan West have donated baskets that will be raffled off. All of the proceeds go to the Western Sullivan United Teachers and School Related Professional Scholarship Fund. Ticket prices will be one for $1, six for $5, and 15 for $10.

Blowout book sale at library EQUINUNK, PA — The Manchester Community Library will hold its annual Blowout Book Sale on Saturday, November 15, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

Another Blowout Sale, with holiday refreshments, will be held on Saturday, December 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The library will close for the season that day, reopening on April 4. The building is difficult to heat in the winter and funds for fuel are scarce. The winter break also provides respite for the 10 volunteers who keep the library up and running for the rest of the year. Call 570/224-8500 for information.

Brass players wanted for holiday performance LIBERTY, NY — As part of the treelighting ceremony in Liberty on Friday, December 5 at 6 p.m., there will be a performance of the second annual Holiday for Brass.

MILFORD, PA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Every year the Milford Lions Club lights up the streets of Milford for the holidays beginning on the first Saturday of November. Volunteers string lights in all the trees in anticipation of the annual tree lighting, which will take place on Saturday, December 6 at the Community House at the corner of Broad and Harford streets. The Lions also put up the tree on the lawn and light the star at Milford Knob. The lights continue to shine through the holidays and into February. While this is a labor of love according to Milford Lion Bill Harkness, it also takes money. This year the Milford Music Festival will donate $500 to the effort, raised at their annual Share the Harvest event in September. They are also seeking additional volunteers to help the crew string the lights. The Lions will

ONTICELLO, NY — More than 100 people turned out last Friday night as the Sullivan County ATV Association awarded $16,000 to several families with children in need and four programs that also serve the needs of children. This non-profit organization, with just one dozen members, sponsors three charitable fundraising ATV runs annually, with the number of riders ranging from 100 to 700. All proceeds from the rides go to families with children struggling with serious medical conditions such as brain cancer, rare genetic diseases, cerebral palsy and other lifethreatening or life-altering conditions. The awards dinner was at Mr. Willies restaurant. “It was a tear-jerker night,” said club member and P.R. officer Joe Benjamin. “It was very awesome.” The four programs that received donations were Toys for Tots, CASA, the Boys and Girls Club and the United Way backpack program. During the evening, Christine Schiff presented an award to the association on behalf of U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson. The certificate of special congressional recognition cited the organization’s “outstanding and invaluable service to the community.”

Overactive thyroid in cats

yperthyroidism, overactive thyroid, is the most common hormone imbalance in cats. Cats have two thyroid glands, one on either side of the trachea in the neck, and these play an instrumental role in the body’s metabolic rate. Hyperthyroidism is characterized by overproduction of the thyroid hormone, which then results in increasing the body’s metabolic rate. The disease can affect cats of any age, however it is predominantly noted in older cats. As time progresses the thyroid gland enlarges and can often be felt when your cat’s neck is stretched back. In fewer than 2% of cases, the enlargement of the thyroid gland involves a malignant cancer; therefore in most cases the overall enlargement is not of major concern. However the results of the increase in circulating thyroid hormone are of concern, particularly for the heart and the kidneys. The primary cause for hyperthyroidism is not known, but there are some studies that indicate increases in iodine in the diet may play a role in its prevalence. There is not a particular breed predisposed to hyperthyroidism, although Siamese cats appear to be among some of the most common patients. The symptoms of hyperthyroidism include weight loss, despite a healthy appetite and often an increased appetite. Cats affected by the disease are often restless and may have increased cranky or aggressive behaviors. In the later stages of the disease some cats even stop eating altogether. Secondary complications of the disease include high blood pressure, which has detrimental effects on the heart and the kidneys. The heart condition is known as thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy, in which elevated blood pressure causes increased work for the heart, ending in over-use of the muscle and thickening of the chambers. In the long term, increased blood pressure causes similar destruction of the kidneys, resulting in kidney failure. Hyperthyroidism can be diagnosed by complete blood testing that many veterinarians may be able to per-

thus no treats or special snacks. Hyperthyroidism can be easily managed and monitored under the watchful eye of your family veterinarian. Early detection is key, and therefore it is strongly encouraged that cats over the age of six years old have annual blood work performed. Do talk to your veterinarian if you have concerns that your feline companion has thyroid disease. [Contact Dr. D’Abbraccio at jdabbracciodvm@icloud.com or follow at www.facebook.com/CatskillVeterinaryServices.]

form right in the office, or by sending samples to an outside laboratory. It is strongly recommended to get all baseline blood work first, in addition to a T4 level and urinalysis. Occasionally, a cat suspected of having hyperthyroidism has a T4 level within the upper range of normal. When this occurs, a second test, usually either an FT4 by Equilibrium Dialysis or a T3 Suppression Test is performed. There are four treatment options for hyperthyroid patients: (1) Surgery: This is where a portion of the thyroid, or one of the pairs, is removed. Prior to having the procedure done, a cat is placed on an oral medication called Methimazole to determine if there are any secondary diseases (liver or kidney disease). (2) Oral medication: Long-term management can also be achieved by administering an oral medication once to twice daily for the rest of the patient’s life. This

is often the preferred choice for many pet parents given that the initial costs are a lot less, however in the long run, it may be a more expensive treatment option. (3) Radioactive iodine: This treatment is a very effective plan in which radioactive material is injected that subsequently destroys the thyroid gland. The treatment does however require a one- to two-week hospitalization stay at a center certified in the treatment and handling of patients. Some of the negatives would include over-destruction of the thyroid gland that would require the patient to go on supplementation for the rest of its life. (4) Dietary management: In recent years, a prescription food has been introduced to manage hyperthyroidism. This food is made by Hill’s Science Diet and called “y/d diet.” The food is not considered a drug but has the precise amount of iodine in the food so as not to permit overactive thyroid function. In order for the food to work, it must be the only food fed,

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE ARTS, LEISURE AND OUTDOORS

The out back By LINDA DROLLINGER

Photos by Linda Drollinger

His and hers four-holer—no waiting

y 90-something great-grandfather had one in the ‘50s—a little house behind the bare-bones cottage that lacked even running water. It looked like a Tobacco Road shack and smelled to high heaven, but it served its purpose as a no-frills answer to nature’s calls. Today, outhouses are pretty much a thing of the past, although still legal under certain conditions in New York and Pennsylvania. One town code enforcement officer (CEO) told me that New York leaves the question of outhouses to the local CEO’s discretion. In the absence of specific town ordinances either prohibiting or regulating their construction, that CEO said he would respond to an application for a new outhouse by engaging an engineer to determine soil percolation requirements, which would in turn dictate seepage pit size and depth.

“An outhouse! An outhouse! My kingdom for an outhouse!”

—A Superstorm Sandy survivor’s lament

Outhouse as a thing of beauty

Utility aside, the design, style, color and embellishment of outhouses permits them the same elements of beauty associated with any architectural structure. Most of the outhouses pictured here were designed to match the houses they service, painted the same color and of the same period style.

During the weeks of recovery from Superstorm Sandy, I came to appreciate what an outhouse has to offer: privacy, protection from wildlife and the elements, a place to rest the derriere (especially welcome to aged knees), and a home for toilet paper and sundries as well as reading material. (In days gone by, Sears Roebuck’s big catalog served this dual purpose.) It was also an excellent, if normally unsung, meditation space. When the power first went off, leaving waterless all whose supply came from drilled wells, it was kind of fun to dash behind the garage and take care of business before passersby on the road could glimpse what was going on 50 feet away. I got an inkling then of why men so enjoy writing their names in the snow. It was less fun at night, though. And when the weather turned considerably colder, it was considerably less fun. One rainy night, while I shivered and juggled an umbrella, a flashlight, toilet paper and a plastic bag, a curious coyote approached without warning. Startled, I screamed and dropped the flashlight. Howling, snarling and stamping followed. The coyote made some kind of noise, too, before it fled in fear. But that wasn’t the worst nighttime incident. The worst nighttime incident involved freezing temps, a lost flashlight, a slip and fall, and... well, never mind. It’s best not to dwell on unpleasant memories, or so my mother has always said. When I recall those days without electric power, I think of the power that came in its place. There was something joyously primitive and sensual, if less hygienic, about venturing into nature to answer its calls. More than that, it was a constant reminder that we are part of nature, not apart from it, and that we should never try either to rise above it or to subjugate it. It is as much a part of us as we are a part of it. And that, my friends, is outhouse wisdom.

Tannis Kowalchuk in “Shakespeare’s Will” Contributed photo

Art work by Rocky Pinciotti

Music and art combine for ‘WaterMusic’ LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The Weekend of Chamber Music (WCM) will present a concert called “WaterMusic” on Saturday, November 15 at 3 p.m. in the CAS Arts Center galleries to coincide with the Catskill Art Society’s (CAS) “River and Biota” exhibition. The program is part two of the collaboration that began in 2010 between WCM, CAS and the Livingston Manor Central School (LMCS), and inspired by the historic Zuber & Co. wallpaper murals installed in the school’s grand staircase. The concert includes video projection of works by artist Sharon Molloy, and music by WCM artists with selections from Handel’s Water Music; Telemann’s Wassermusik (Hamburger Ebb and Fluth); Vocalise from Voice of the Whale by George Crumb; Deep River (Trad.) arr. by WCM’s Andrew Waggoner; Finnish composer Kajia Saariaho’s Cloud Trio and Waggoner’s Clouds. Musicians performing are Judith Pearce, flute; Sunghae Anna Lim and Waggoner, violins; Luke Fleming, viola and Robert Burkhart, cello. The concert is open to the public. Admission is a $20 donation at the door; free for students 18 and under. For additional information, email info@ WCMconcerts.org.

Solo performance by Kowalchuk in ‘Shakespeare’s Will’ HONESDALE, PA — The Cooperage presents “Shakespeare’s Will” by Vern Thiessen, a production of NACL Theatre, performed by Tannis Kowalchuk at The Cooperage on Saturday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are a $20 suggested donation. Call 570/253-2020 to reserve. Kowalchuk performs the role of Anne Hathaway in a lively song-filled solo performance about the life of the wife of William Shakespeare. The play begins on the afternoon of Shakespeare’s funeral. Anne knows she must read her husband’s will, but before she does, the widow relives her life as mother, wife and woman in 17th century Straford-Upon-Avon. Based upon the little information known about the Bard’s wife, Canadian awardwinning playwright, Vern Thiessen has written a sensitive and humorous text in verse, taking great delight imagining and inventing the robust, earthy, and intelligent character of Anne Hathaway. Kowalchuk moves seamlessly from one character to the next in fast-paced performance that packs 50 years into one hour. The play is directed by Mimi McGurl, costumes by Karen Flood, music by Kurt Knuth, and is performed by Tannis Kowalchuk. “Shakespeare’s Will” has been performed at NACL Theatre in Highland Lake, NY, Pontine Theatre in Portsmouth, NH and the Tusten Theatre in Narrowsburg, NY.

Life lessons I should know by now

here seems to be something about human nature that no matter how many times you may hear advice or words of wisdom, it doesn’t truly sink in until you’ve experienced it for yourself. Over the past few months I’ve personally learned a few new ones, and I’m sharing them with you in the hope that you will find them helpful. Know the plan (even if it’s not your problem) I recently had the experience of saying the wrong thing on an important phone call with a producer. It was someone with whom I have not worked before, and I answered an honest question too honestly. I suddenly found myself down a road that was difficult to backtrack. “So how’s the footage getting to the edit room?” She asked innocently. “I’m not sure,” I answered quickly. There was an earth-shatteringly long pause. “Sounds like you need to figure it out.” And here’s where I really stepped into it. “Um. If you need me to I can, but I’d rather not.” I was technically in the right. It isn’t really part of the editor’s responsibility. It falls more between the digital tech on set who is downloading the cards, the post supervisor coming up with the plan and the assistant editor who is converting and syncing the dailies (the footage shot each day). Typically when the editor shows up it’s all in the computer. But it’s certainly more my department than hers, and the conversation should have left her feeling confident in me. Instead, I am sure I came across as a bit of a diva. At the moment when I answered the phone I was tired, overwhelmed and shouldn’t have even picked up the phone without doing a little reconnaissance. Not surprisingly things started to spiral. Phone calls bounced around involving agents and higher-ups. Getting the movie executives’ confidence back ended up taking hours out of the day, not to mention starting an experience off on the wrong foot. I cringe just thinking about it. Construction takes longer than expected Emily and I have been out of our apartment for months, the damage caused by the flood and subsequent mold eradication in our apartment is finally over and construction has now begun. When we first moved out we thought

we’d be out for a month. It was still summer and we packed a bag of appropriate clothes: shorts, T-shirts, sandals. I remember the broker who found us our current sublet saying, “You never know how long you’ll be out. Could be up to six months. Could be longer.” “No way,” I thought. “Not us. We’ll be back before you know it.” And then, like sand through an hourglass, each hour of each day just slips away, little by little. “The electrician can’t come today and we can’t do anything until he is available,” we hear from the contractor. “The insurance adjuster wants to see the progress before he signs off on the rest of the work.” “When can he come?” “Next week.” I feel as though I’ve aged years in the past six months, turning more and more into the cynical New Yorker I’d always hoped to avoid. Learning about favors and who needs envelopes of cash to speed things up. And above all, accepting the fact that I have no idea when it’ll all be finished. The only thing I’m confident of is that it’ll be later than I think it’ll be. Balloons pop On the unusually warm Sunday afternoon of Emily’s bridal shower; I was tasked with picking up two dozen pink balloons before being urged to make myself scarce. My mom was in town, and she accompanied me to the party superstore. We wandered around trying on discount Halloween costumes and waiting for the balloons to be filled. Before leaving the store the guy explained to me, “Just remember to avoid sharp objects—balloons pop.” “Thanks,” I said doing my best to hide my eye roll. As we walked back to the apartment, I started in on the guy. “Careful of scissors, pins and needles. I don’t know if you know this about balloons. It’s something we’ve recently discovered... they pop. Thanks tremendously, Mr. Balloon expert.” POP! I had inadvertently walked too close to a pricker bush, popping the balloon. It was the very definition of perfect timing and karma. My mom burst out laughing. “I deserved that.” Listen to advice

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION

By Jonathan Charles Fox

Moving day

ho loves moving? Who loves change? OK, I see a few of you out there holding your hand up in the air, but for most of us, moving is more than a little stressful. In my neverending quest for peace of mind, I turned to the Internet for solace. Oy. Instead of finding soothing words of encouragement, I discovered these “shocking stats about moving-related stress” (www.moversnmoreservice.com): “Many studies conducted in the U.S. show that people believe that moving to a new home will be one of the most stressful events in their lives,” I read, through blurred sleepless eyes. “About 41% of second-time [transplants] claim that their second move was more stressful than the first.” That sounds swell. “This being my third move in as many years should prove to be a piece of cake, then,” I whine to the dog. Tasteless, dry, crumbling, stale, panicflavored cake. Glutton for punishment that I am, I continued to read. Fact #1—“Ten percent of people moving from one home to another suffer from hair loss.” Great! Fact #2: Fourteen percent of people who are changing their place of residence suffer from short-term memory loss.” Wait, what was I saying? Fact #3: Nineteen percent of people who need to relocate suffer from symptoms of anxiety.” Anxiety? Me? Oh, that’s just crazy talk. Oh sure, I’ve known for a while, but busy bee that I am, I have put off packing for a variety of reasons. Fact #1—I’m a procrastinator. Fact # 2—I loathe change. Fact #3—I’m a procrastinator. Although my desk is littered with notes, reminders and more than three calendars, if there’s something I can put off till tomorrow, I will. This is one of the many reasons that I love being a columnist—deadlines. Between being forced to get the work in on time (yeah, it’s “late” sometimes) I also have a taskmaster at work (you know who you are, Jane Bollinger) who keeps me in line. Were it not for the aforementioned deadline, I’d never get the column done. Not because I’m lazy, mind you. Let’s just say, I’m… busy. Moving day. It’s looming. In less than a week, I’ll be in a new place, trying to figure out which un-labeled box holds what. “No time for details,” I shriek at the pup. My reward for procrastinating? Just flinging my stuff into boxes and sorting it out on the other end. Great. One final glance at the Internet-sitefrom-hell reveals that while “some homeowners insist on collecting their valuables, clothes, small appliances and household gadgets themselves, one of the hardest things to do [when you have a

ARROWSBURG, NY — “Art in Sixes,” an exhibition of small art works by local artists, opens at the Delaware Arts Center’s Alliance Gallery on Saturday, November 15, with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. The exhibit will be on view through December 23. Celebrating its tenth year, “Art in Sixes” has become the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance’s premier year-end art event. It features artwork in a wide range of studio mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, fiber, ceramics and photography from artists in Sullivan County and the Upper Delaware River region. Last year’s show included 113 artists and 301 works of art. All works of art are for sale and priced reasonably for holiday gift giving. “Because anyone can submit, the exhibition brings in a variety of creative people,” said gallery director Rocky Pinciotti, who developed the idea for this show in 2005. “For many artists, working that small is a refreshing new challenge.” To help with the aesthetics of the show, gallery assistant Phyllis Bilick and Pinciotti organize the work into an assortment of genres. Pinciotti also created a system of gridding gallery walls. “I painted the first gridded wall a stone grey and gridded it with white pencil, which is perfect for pieces that are exactly six-by-six inches,” he said. “At some point I also started to use shelves instead of pedestals for the 3-D works. Then, in 2013, I dubbed one wall the ‘small-er works’ wall for very tiny pieces. All these tricks help us keep the show organized and looking beautiful.” For more information call 845/252-7576 or visit www. delawarevalleyartsalliance.org.

Fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finale

SPORTS BRIEFS

By Richard Ross sportsinsightsny.com

INGSTON, ALBANY AND CANTON, NYâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fall will not officially end until December 21, but as far as the autumn athletic campaigns of Sullivan County teams are concerned, November 8 marked its coda. Hopes that the season could be extended for the Livingston Manor and Sullivan West football teams in their respective Section IX Class D and C title games were sadly sundered by shutout losses.

Manor (6-4) fell to Chester 55-0. The mighty Hambletonians seeking a third trip to the Carrier Dome in the past four years, demolished Manor. They led 41-0 at the end of the first quarter. In the Class C title game at Dietz Stadium, it was a frustrating day for the Sullivan West Bulldogs who succumbed 24-0 to Millbrook, a team they bested 20-12 back on October 4. Parents, friends and community members staged a great sendoff in Jeffersonville as the bus containing their beloved team passed through town on the way to Dietz Stadium. The Westiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; struggles included issues with turnovers and penalties. One bright spot of the day was that senior Andrew Stabbert surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing milestone, ending his career with 1,033 yards. He was also named a Modell Game Day Player. This was the swan song for seniors Richard Shevak, Justin Diehl, Brian Stauch, Brandon Cabassa, Alex Davis, Mark Castro, Andrew Stabbert, Chris Mann, Justin Dorman, Anthony Rydell, Sean Hart, James Rankin, Devin Creegan, Kevin Hart, Ronj Padu and Jack Rajlevski. The Bulldogs finished their exciting campaign at 8-2. Their quest to secure the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Section IX football title since 2006 was quashed by the efficient Blazers. The Eldred girls soccer team failed to reach the Final Four as they fell to Section IIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bolton Central 3-1 in a state quarterfinal. The Lady Yellow Jacketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outstanding season concluded at 14-3-1, but the team will return a wealth of talent in 2015 as they gear up for yet another run for glory. In the NYSPHSAA State CrossCountry Championships, Port Jervisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kobie Lane (16:00.3) was runner up in the Class B race. In the girls Class C race, Sullivan Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelsey Dutton (21:16) finished 57th out of a field of 127 runners. Teammate Courtney Meyerer (22:16.8) was 94th.. Tri-Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandra Alemany (22:04.7) was 88th, and teammate Brittany Pennell (22:23.4) was 98th. In the girls Class D race, Eldredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kayla Maas (21:43.3) was 47th out of the field of 118 runners. Teammates Sarah Malzahn (22:48.8), Sara Jane Drewett (24.12.5), Kelsey Collins (26:27) and Missy VanSeggan (29:49) finished 66, 95, 108 and 117 in the race. Eldredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Powers (18:54.5) was 71st in the field of 119 Class D runners. November 10 marked the first day of winter sports practice.

Sullivan Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ronj Padu goes skyward to haul in an interception in the first half. Later, another interception by Brian Stauch put the Bulldogs very close to scoring just before halftime, but the Dawgs failed to score, which represented a squandered chance to change the momentum in the game.

But in life every ending is a new beginning.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Anonymous Sullivan West senior Brandon Cabassa (28), right, zones in on Millbrook sophomore standout Delvin Wood. Wood would score on a 28-yard run later in this series, but was injured as he was tackled by Sullivan West seniors Brian Stauch and Justin Diehl. Millbrook led 16-0 at the half.

Sullivan Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andrew Stabbert looks to run up-field. He marshaled 62 yards of rushing in the game and was named a Modell Game Day Player. Stabbert surpassed the 1,000 yards of rushing milestone for the season, ending up with 1,033 yards on 121 carries.

The doleful end: Sullivan West players line up to congratulate the Millbrook Blazers at the conclusion of the game. Pictured are Kevin Puerschner (25), Anthony Rydell (65), Tom Stauch (21) and Tyler Davis (60).

RIVER TALK

This wheel bug, minus one leg, is full grown at almost an inch long. Its coloration is unassuming gray, except for the posterior part of the abdomen; this is iridescent gold or copper-colored in sunlight.

Wheel bugs Good for the garden, look but don’t touch

round Halloween, I spotted what first appeared to be a large spider on the side of my house. As I got closer, however, I saw that it had six legs, not eight as a spider would have, and it took on the appearance of a long-legged beetle with an iridescent gold abdomen. This bug certainly fit the bill for Halloween; it had long spidery legs with even longer antennae, a long proboscis that made it look like it meant business, and to top it off, it had what looked to be part of a cog sticking out of its thorax. This insect was a shoe-in to win nature’s version of a ghoulish Halloween costume contest. What I had found was a wheel bug (Arilus cristatus), probably looking for a mate as they do this time of year. Wheel bugs are aptly named members of the Hemiptera or “true bug” family, which includes renowned members such as the stink bug and the bed bug. The wheel- or gear-like structure on a wheel bug’s thorax serves no known purpose other than possibly

being utilized for species recognition by potential mates as well as would-be predators. A wheel bug has the ability to give off a strong scent; though not as strong a scent as a stink bug, it is strong enough to deter some predators. The real weapon a wheel bug has is its mouth parts. It preys on slow moving insects such as caterpillars. It seizes its prey with its forelegs and injects enzymes into its prey with its beak. These enzymes dissolve the prey from within, and the wheel bug then sucks up the emulsified innards of its hapless victim. The formidable looking beak is also why the wheel bug should not be touched; this insect will bite if carelessly handled and the resulting pain is described as being several times worse than a hornet sting. Allergic reactions and long wound-healing times have also been reported by some. It’s best to look but not touch the wheel bug. The early part of November will be the last chance to see wheel bugs, as they mate and then lay up to 200 eggs on a branch or twig before dying. The best bet to see any specimens will be on the few mild days that may be left before a hard freeze. Although this insect’s habits may make it appear to be distasteful and undesirable, its choice of prey makes it a very beneficial insect to have around the garden. If you see a wheel bug next growing season, look but don’t touch, for this bug with the iridescent gold backside is guarding your tomatoes and cucumbers.
