Sullivan set to adopt ag plan Goal is to promote and preserve farming By FRITZ MAYER

ONTICELLO, NY — The Sullivan County Legislature is getting close to the adoption of an Agriculture and Farmland Protection Plan (AFPP) and as part of the process, county legislators received a briefing on the plan at a meeting on December 4. Melinda Meddaugh, who fills a position split between the Sullivan County Division of Planning and Environmental Management and Cornell Cooperative Extension, presented an overview of the plan, which included an executive summary of agriculture in the county. The report said, “In 2012, the agriculture industry in Sullivan County, which includes agriculture production, support services and manufacturing, directly contributed $714.1 million in output and nearly 1,500 jobs.” Legislator Cora Edwards, who was acting as chair for the meeting, said she considered this figure to be astounding given the fact that in many areas farming has been in decline over the past years. The report said “The current condition of agriculture in Sullivan County is both promising and concerning.” On the concerning side the report said, “Dairy was the principal commodity for just 24 farms (7.5% of the total), down from 46 in 2002,” and “between 2007 and 2012, sales of agricultural products declined nearly 36%,” and “The majority of farms in the County do not generate significant income from the sale of agricultural products. Farms with sales of less than $10,000 represented 55 to 60% of all farms in the county between 1997 and 2012.” On the promising side the report said, “The 2012 Census of Agriculture reported 321 farms in Sullivan County, a minimal decline from 323 farms in 2007, and “the amount of land farmed has increased since 2007, to 53,859 acres,” and “agritourism is a small, but growing component— the number of operations has increased from 9 farms with $170,000 in sales in 2007 to 15 farms with $300,000 in sales by 2012.” Continued on page 3

Gieger announces another run By FRITZ MAYER

ORTH BRANCH, NY — About 40 people braved the freezing rain and turned out to an event to honor Sullivan County Legislator Cindy Gieger in the Old North Branch Inn on December 5. Among those on hand were fellow legislators Gene Benson and Cora Edwards. On several issues, the three Democrats have teamed up with the two Republicans in the legislature to form a majority in the legislature. Ken Hilton, retired supervisor of the Sullivan West Central School District, called Gieger a reformer, and compared her to the late president Teddy Roosevelt. He read from one of Roosevelt’s writings, replacing the singular male pronoun of Roosevelt used with the singular female pronoun. He said, “It’s not the critic who counts. It’s not the woman who points out how the strong Contributed photo woman stumbled. Credit Cora Edwards, left, Cindy Gieger belongs to the woman who and Gene Benson gathered with really was in the arena, supporters at the Old North Branch her face marred by dust, Inn on December 5. sweat, and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs to come short and short again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. It is the woman who actually strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasm and knows the great devotion, who spends herself on a worthy cause, who at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement. And, who at worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and cruel souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” When Gieger spoke, she said good government is about reading, reviewing and understanding every issue and not rubber stamping anything. She said, “It’s about bringing the issues out in public discussion, as I have come to realize that quiet, smooth operation of government with little public input is not good.” She spoke specifically of some of the reforms that she has championed in the Division of Family Services, and thanked Commissioner Randy Parker for aiding in those reforms, referring to a recently completed investigation that involved Parker. She reiterated her statement that the investigation cleared Parker of any wrongdoing. She further said the investigation did point to some areas that needed improvement, such as the county’s whistleblower policy, which she said had wrongly been used to “freeze people in their positions.” She said this and other concerns are being worked on. At the end of her remarks, after thanking those who have supported her through the past three years, she said she would once again throw her hat in the ring next year, adding that she hoped to serve another term again in the company of Benson and Edwards. Benson said he too would run for office again. In a My View on page 7, Gieger summarizes some of her remarks.

IN BRIEF Editorials endorse Gillibrand on military sexual assaults

Holiday crackdown on drunk driving

WASHINGTON, DC —Editorials in The New York Times and USA TODAY support Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s call for reform in the handling of sexual assaults in the military. A new Department of Defense report shows that in 2014, almost the same number of service members—19,000—reported unwanted sexual contact as in 2010. Less than three out of 10 are willing to report the incidents, and the 62% retaliation rate went unchanged from the year before despite retaliation having being made a crime last year. The Times editorial says, “The latest accounting of sexual assault in the military coincides with a renewed push in congress led by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrat of New York, with welcome help from Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky on the far right, to fix a key flaw in the military structure that thwarts evenhanded justice and contributes to the abysmally low prosecution rate. Under military law, commanding officers with built-in conflicts of interest and scant legal expertise have the power to decide which sexual assault cases to investigate and bring to courts-martial.” USA Today says, “Over the decades, sexual scandals have spurred cycles of Pentagon apologies, congressional hand-wringing, half-baked attempts at action and nibble-around-the-edges changes. Isn’t it time that women and men who serve their country so nobly have a justice system that will serve them when they are victims of a crime?”

Kane declines to defend gun law HONESDALE, PA — The Pennsylvania legislature earlier this year passed Act 192, which allows organizations such as the National Rifle Association to sue cities or other municipalities if they pass their own gun regulations. Attorney General Kathleen Kane has indicated she won’t defend the legislation, which is being challenged in court by the cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Lancaster and five Democratic lawmakers. A spokesperson for Kane said she believes it would be more efficient and in the best interests of the state if the matter were handled by the Office of General Counsel. House Majority Leader Dave Reed said Kane’s position “causes a great deal of concern,” adding that “the House of Representatives, working with the Senate, will defend the Commonwealth from the lawsuit questioning the constitutionality of the new firearms preemption law.”

MATAMORAS, PA — Eastern Pike Regional Police have announced that there will be stepped-up law enforcement efforts concerning drunk driving from December 12 through January 1, 2015. According to the department, drunk driving increases during the holiday season. In December 2012, nationwide, there were 830 people killed in crashes involving at least one driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration .08 or higher; 26 of those deaths occurred on Christmas Day. On average, 31% of all crash fatalities in America involve drunk driving. But on Christmas day 2012, the percentage jumps to 36%. “It’s time for all drivers to get the message,” said Eastern Pike Regional Police Chief Chad Stewart “that drunk driving isn’t a victimless crime. You could kill yourself or someone else, or get a DUI and go to jail.” Every year, more than 10,322 people are killed by drunk drivers in America. It’s one of the primary missions of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to drastically reduce this toll on the nation. So as part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign period, police will be increasing their number of patrols, setting up roadblocks, and using local media to reach all drivers. Stewart says drunk drivers face jail time, fines, loss of your driver’s license, towing fees and other DUI expenses, totaling $10,000 on average for each arrest.

Man with knife arrested in Livingston Manor LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — A Livingston Manor man was arrested by New York State troopers on December 5, for threatening other people in the house with a knife and destroying the interior of the house. Troopers arrested Neal McCarthy, age 44. While under arrest, McCarthy was also found to be in possession of suboxone, an opiate substitute. McCarthy was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a felony; menacing, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanors; and harassment, a violation. McCarthy was arraigned in the Town of Rockland Court and remanded to the Sullivan County Jail with no bail set. At the time of arrest, McCarthy was under the supervision of the Sullivan County Department of Probation. That agency has filed a probation violation. MEMBER NYPA • MEMBER NNA

New grand jury for Deerpark killing Indictment thrown out by court By FRITZ MAYER

PARROWBUSH, NY — David Carlson, 43, who is charged with shooting and killing Norris Acosta-Sanchez on October 11, 2013, will face a new grand jury after a judge threw out an indictment from late last year. At the time of the shooting, SanchezAcosta had become the subject of a prolonged manhunt, and he was wanted in Rockland County on a rape charge. He was staying in a cabin near where Carlson lived. Carlson got to know Sanchez-Acosto and had dinner with him a few times, but

when Carlson learned he was wanted by police, he cooperated with police in trying to get Sanchez-Acosta into custody. Police took Sanchez-Acosta into custody, but the fugitive talked police into letting him go back into the cabin to retrieve some personal property and he escaped out the back door and into the woods. A manhunt was mounted the next day, but he managed to swim across a reservoir and escape once again. Then he showed up at Carlson’s house and confronted Carlson about his role in getting him arrested, and Carlson got a shotgun. He said he was going to turn Sanchez-Acosta into police, but instead

wound up shooting him in the arm and the head. Carlson told police at the time that Sanchez-Acosta lunged at him and he fired the gun in self defense. A police investigator, however, told the previous grand jury that Carlson did not tell them that Sanchez-Acosta lunged at him, even though a recording of the conversation between Carlson and the police showed that he did. Carlson’s lawyer, Benjamin Ostrer, said that that mistake and others made by the prosecution, including failure by the prosecution to provide to the grand jury the recordings made when Carlson talk-

ed to police, led to a biased outcome. Orange County Judge Robert Freehill dismissed the indictment, and gave the prosecutor the choice of appealing his decision or presenting the case to a new grand jury, which the prosecutor chose. The prosecution is now being handled by the Westchester County District Attorney’s office because Orange County District Attorney, David Hoovler, who took office in January, was a law partner with Ostrer. Carlson, who has had the support of his community in this matter, has been out on bail since December 8.

Frein hearing postponed Court-appointed attorney withdraws

By FRITZ MAYER

ILFORD, PA — The preliminary hearing for accused cop-killer Matthew Frein had been scheduled for December 9, but has been pushed back because one of Frein’s court-appointed attorneys has been granted permission to withdraw from the case, and the court has granted the remaining attorney’s request for more time to bring a new attorney up to speed on the case. Robert Bernathy was appointed as one of Frein’s attorneys on November 3 at $178 per hour, but Bernathy is also the part-time chief public defender for Pike County, and he said in court documents that

preparing for the preliminary hearing, and judge Shannon Muir granted the request for a continuance. The new date is scheduled for January 5, 2015, at 9 a.m. at the Pike County Courthouse in Milford. Frein is accused of shooting and killing trooper Bryon Dickson on the night of September 12 and of seriously wounding Alex Douglass in an ambush at the state police barracks in Blooming Grove. Frein was captured on October 30 after a 48-day manhunt which involved hundreds of local, state and federal officials and cost taxpayers about $11 million.

Tax rate unchanged in Wayne

Continued from page 1

The AFPP lists several initiatives meant to promote farming in the county and attract the next generation of farmers to the county, which at the moment does not exist, putting the future of farming here in question. The initiatives include “selling” the county as a place where young farmers should locate, and to “develop new agritourism products, experiences, and events;… and make the county more tourism-friendly.” The AFPP also calls for the establishment of a committee to implement the plan and hiring an additional employee either as an employee of CCE or the county to work directly with the farming community. The legislature will consider this as it works to adopt the 2015 budget by December 18.

there is a significant risk that “representation of the defendant may be materially limited by the potential for both professional and personal conflicts of interest.” Judge Gregory Chelak granted Bernathy’s request to withdraw, but the appointment of co-counsel Michael Weinstein remains in effect. Pike County District Attorney Raymond Tonkin objected to the delay in the preliminary hearing, in part because a witness had been subpoenaed from Louisiana and had been scheduled to testify on December 9. But in a filing, Weinstein said it would take time for the new co-counsel to review the entire case in

ONESDALE, PA — For the third consecutive year, Wayne County’s property tax millage rate will remain level. That was the thrust of county business manager John Haggerty’s November 20 presentation of Wayne’s $30,513,407.57 appropriations budget for 2015. The zero increase was achieved despite a $540,000 increase in overall spending, which was matched by an equivalent increase in other, non-tax revenues, Haggerty said. The budget’s “most significant changes” in expenses came in the Human Services departments.

“Although the county’s participation in the Human Services Block Grant program has provided the ability to shift funding within preapproved cost centers, total funding reductions in these areas have passed costs for mandated services onto the counties across the commonwealth,” Haggerty wrote. “While we’ve been singing the praises of block grants, we’ve been receiving fewer and fewer dollars,” Commissioner Wendell Kay said. He noted that the county share of the Children and Youth Services budget was between 19% and 21% in past, and has now increased to 24%. Human services director Andrea Whyte has echoed the apparent paradox several

times in her reporting, noting basically that while the block grants provide much needed flexibility in her use of state funding, the program has at the same time reduced the overall amount of state funding by 10%. Commissioners’ chair Brian Smith said while human services and corrections costs increased, the budget was balanced “by savings in other areas.” The budget will be available for public viewing at the commissioners’ office and online through December 18, when a final adoption vote is scheduled. In other business, on November 20, the commissioners heard an annual report from Pocono Mountain Vacation Bureau Executive Director Carl Wilgus.

Eldred School a cappella group to perform at Carnegie Hall Still need to raise money By ISABEL BRAVERMAN

LDRED, NY — An a cappella group at Eldred Junior and Senior High School called “The Eldred Key Elements” will have a very special opportunity when it goes to perform at New York City’s Carnegie Hall this spring. The performance is called Total Vocal and it is a concert by a cappella groups from all around the world that had to audition to get in. The show is presented by Deke Sharon, executive producer of “The Sing Off” and vocal director and coach of the popular movie “Pitch Perfect.” The Key Elements worked with Sharon last year, and so they got an invitation from Sharon himself to join the Carnegie show. The Eldred Key Elements was formed five years ago by Justin Glodich, the choral and theatre director at Eldred. He has an extensive background in a cappella, beginning in college when he was in an a cappella group. He then left college to join a group professionally for three years, and it appeared on “America’s Got Talent.” He holds a Bachelor of Music Education from The Crane School of Music at Potsdam College, and a Masters of Music Education, Choral Conducting from The Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. “A cappella is something I’ve been involved with” Glodich said, “and I wanted to bring it here and expose them to a new art form.” The Key Elements sing a variety of songs, from pop to 80s-themed. A cappella is music with only vocals, unaccompanied by instruments. However, the singers

The Eldred Key Elements are an a cappella group at Eldred Central School District, led by Justin Glodich. They have the oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to perform at New York City’s prestigious Carnegie Hall this spring. The cost of the trip is expensive, so they are raising money to help fund their dream. sometimes use their voices to imitate instruments, as in beat boxing. They also harmonize their voices frequently. A cappella groups are common in high schools and colleges. The longest continuously singing group is The Whiffenpoofs of Yale University, which was formed in 1909 and once included Cole Porter as a member. The Key Elements includes students from seventh to 12th grade, and right now it has 21 members. Three senior girls in the group said it is like “a big family.” It performs in school concerts as well as many other places

and the Sullivan County a cappella night that Glodich started. This past week it went to the Highland Senior Center to sing Christmas songs. At the recent holiday school concert, the group sang “Chandelier” by Sia, “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square,” a romantic British popular song written in 1939, and “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. They are all very excited at the possibility of performing at Carnegie Hall. “It’s very prestigious; we’re very lucky to have gotten in,” said Elena Mir, a senior. The concert takes place on March 29, with a weekend residency starting on Thursday, March 26, when they will rehearse. The trip will be expensive and they are still raising money for it. So far they have done many fundraisers and they have a Go Fund Me page where people can donate. As of press time they raised $963 of the $1,500 goal. To learn more and to make a donation, go to www. gofundme.com/KeyElementsToCarnegieHall. “We want to make sure everyone that wants to go can, because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” said Key Elements President Kayla Carcone. All the members of The Key Elements sang their praises for Glodich. “He’s the best; he is fun to be around. He does his job but he has fun and he makes other people have fun,” said seventh-grader Kailee Mohan. “He gives us confidence,” Mir said. And Paige Spradling, seventh grade, said of The Key Elements, “I used to be really shy, but this helped me.” The senior girls, who are also in chorus and the school musicals, said Glodich wrote them letters of recommendations for college. “He knows us better than we know ourselves,” said Krissy Morgan.

Pennsylvania school funding testimony Start by counting the students By FRITZ MAYER

ANCASTER, PA — One of the more surprising things about the current formula for funding schools in Pennsylvania is that it does not take into account the number of students in the districts. That should change, said members of the benchmarking committee of the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials (PASBO). Speaking at a public hearing in Lancaster on November 24 held by the Basic Education Funding Commission, Wayne McCullough, a member of the PASBO committee, said, “The number of actual students in each school district is a factor in nearly every basic education funding formula in every other state, and was used in each of Pennsylvania’s prior funding formulas. Using accurate student counts to drive a formula ensures that it can respond to the changing actual needs of each school district.” He said the state should count the students before it hands out money.

He also outlined other factors that should be included as the commission moves forward with the creation of a new funding formula. McCullough said that poverty has long been used as part of the funding formulae, but the measure of poverty currently in use is no longer viable. Poverty in school districts is currently measured by the number of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. But because any district with a poverty rate of 40% or higher can offer free or reduced-price lunches to all students, the numbers are skewed, and those school districts no longer keep the records that they used to. He said poverty rates are measured by the U.S. Census every 10 years and estimated in other years, and should be used to measure poverty in school districts. Another measure that should be taken into account, according to the PASBO committee, is the number of students in a district who don’t speak English as a first language, or English Language Learners (ELL). McCullough said, “Most estimates

show that it takes students between three to six years to become entirely English proficient. Although the cost… will depend on the size of the school district, the number of ELL students and the range of languages they speak, it is clear that the cost to educate an ELL student is higher than the cost to educate an Englishspeaking regular education student.” McCullough also said the number of charter school students in the district should also figure into the funding formula, because districts must pay for students to attend them. He said, “There are currently 162 charter schools and 14 cyber charter schools educating nearly 130,000 Pennsylvania students, numbers which have increased dramatically over the years.” He added, “From 2009-10 to 201213, when property taxes increased by $937,385,712 across the state, a full 50% of this increase was dedicated solely to covering the corresponding growth in charter school tuition costs.”

Hold harmless debate One aspect of education funding that has been widely discussed across the state is the “hold harmless” policy that has been in place since 1991, which provides that every school district receives at least as much money as it had the previous year, even if school enrollment declines. Some have argued that the hold harmless policy be eliminated because it has resulted in a situation where some schools receive much more money per student than other districts. According to James Paul, a senior policy analyst for the Commonwealth Foundation, this has lead to very uneven funding. “In 2012-13, 25 districts received more than $10,000 of state aid per student, while 50 districts received less than $3,000 per student.” He and PASBO recommend not that hold harmless be dropped altogether, but that it be changed to ensure that districts receive the same amount of per student funding from one year to the next.

Historic bridges for sale By ANYA TIKKA

ENNSYLVANIA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has plans to replace the Pond Eddy Bridge, and therefore would like to sell the existing bridge to a willing buyer; but that’s not the only bridge the organization is trying to unload. At the website paprojectpath.org/ penndot-crm/bridges/bridges-for-sale, nine historic bridges are listed as available for purchase. Many of the bridges are on the list of the National Register of Historic Places, and Pennsylvania wants to sell them because they weren’t built for today’s heavy traffic. That said, instead of simply demolishing them, Pennsylvania wants to find buyers who are going to reuse them— preferably in a creative way, after moving them to suitable locations and rehabilitation. The sales may be able to offset some of the costs of newer bridges. Some of the bridges that have already

been sold have been reused on university campuses, or on state or other park projects. The PennDOT website explains that the state is actively marketing the bridges for sale—first to state, and then other government organizations. If that doesn’t work, individuals can bid. Some wealthy individuals have been known to purchase a bridge for their own, private estates. A bridge doesn’t have to cost much, but part of the package is to rehabilitate it. So why are these bridges for sale? It’s all to do with the “load and width,” the website explains. In plain English, that means they were designed to carry 10 to 15 tons, which is much below modern fire or fuel trucks—or up to the width required by modern interstate bridges. Wikipedia.com explains Pond Eddy Bridge was built in 1903 by the Oswego Bridge Company to replace an old suspension bridge that had washed away in a flood earlier in the year. It goes from Pond Eddy, NY in the Town of Lumberland to Pond Eddy, PA, in Shohola, PA,

and it carried bluestone that was used to build many public buildings in the area. It also carried slate and lumber across the Delaware River in the heyday of Delaware and Hudson Canal that runs along the river. Today, the bridge connects about one dozen year-round residential properties from Pond Eddy, PA to New York Route 97, their only connection to any road system—and no connection to Pennsylvania roads. The work is slated to start in April 2016 to replace the bridge with a new, interstate standard bridge.

Create fair funding for Pennsylvania Charter Schools

any educators agree that the formula for funding charter schools and cyber charter schools in Pennsylvania is broken. The Basic Education Funding Commission is currently holding hearings with the goal of creating a new formula for funding all schools in the state, and that may well involve the creation of a new scheme for funding charter schools. As the situation exists now, charter schools are funded almost entirely by the school districts where the student lives, and this creates a burden for schools and property tax payers. This is taking an ever greater share of taxpayer money, because the students leaving traditional public schools generally do not result in decreased costs for those schools. Dr. Wayne McCullough is a member of a committee of the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials working on recommendations about the new formula. He testified before the commission on November 24 and said that, in most school districts, “when you remove 50 students from the classrooms, and you take one out of this class, and one out of that, a few out of second grade a few out of fifth grade, there are no cost savings attached, so it become entirely a burden of the local taxpayer.” He continued, “Between 2011/12 and 2012/13, a full 57% of the increase in property taxes statewide was dedicated to paying the annual increase in charter school expenses.” Before the 2011/12 school year, districts received money from the state that covered about 25% to 30% of the cost of charter schools operations, but now districts get no state funding to cover this state-mandated cost. Many state officials are weighing in on the matter. Eugene DePasquale, Pennsylvania’s auditor general, wrote an editorial recently and noted that the charter school funding picture is exacerbated by the flawed overall edu-

DR. PUNNYBONE

cation funding process in the state. He said “In the state’s 500 public school districts, the per-pupil funding for basic and special education varies dramatically, ranging from $10,000 in some districts to as much as $42,000 per pupil in others. “This dramatic difference in funding becomes even more vivid in the case of cyber charter schools. Cyber schools [which are schools that exist only on the Internet] must accept students from all 500 school districts, and, because of disparities in the per-pupil funding process, they may receive up to 500 different regular education tuition rates and 500 different special education tuition rates. “Cyber charter school students—no matter what county they reside in—receive the same instruction, but the tuition paid to the cyber schools by their home school districts can vary by tens of thousands of dollars a year.” There is also a question about whether the funds going to charters, and especially cyber-charters, are bringing a good return on investments. A review of School Performance Profiles (SPP) of the three kinds of schools in the state by an organization called Research for Action found that the average score for traditional public schools in the state for the 2013/14 school year was 76.9, the average for brick and mortar charter schools was 65.1 and the average for cyber charter schools was 48.7. The commission has many questions to consider as it tries to create a new formula, such as whether or not to hold onto the current “hold harmless” practice, which guarantees that districts will get at least as much funding as they got the previous year, even if student enrollment goes down. But the funding of charters is one of the more important they will have to answer. DePasquale recommends that the state reinstitute the charter school tuition reimbursement from the state to school districts and that payments for cyber charter schools come directly from the state rather than school districts. McCullough recommends that the number of charter students in a school district be taken into account in any funding scheme. We see that as a bare minimum in the creation of the new funding formula.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Caped Cod

“When I was a boy on the Mississippi River there was a proposition in a township there to discontinue public schools because they were too expensive. An old farmer spoke up and said if they stopped building the schools they would not save anything, because every time a school was closed a jail had to be built.” —Mark Twain

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ECS proposal is over the top The Eldred Central School District’s (ECS) proposal to add $5.5 million in new debt and tax increases is over the top. The proposal includes spending for enhanced athletic facilities for a School District that is struggling to survive financially as symbolized by the included spending for the deferred maintenance items at both facilities. Although I may be the most knowledgeable member of the community as to school finance in general and this school district in particular, you do not have to take my word for it. The recently released results of the New York State Comptroller’s office audit pretty much sum up the financial condition of ECS, as it also stresses the board’s responsibility “for the general management and control of the district’s financial and educational affairs including developing, monitoring and controlling the budget.” The audit’s exact words: “District officials have not effectively managed financial condition in the general fund or in the school food service fund.” The key recommendation: “the board and administration will need to identify means to replace fund balance, reduce expenditures to within the district’s available revenues or continue to increase the tax levy.” The unanimous vote by this board to put up this proposal proves to me that this board is not fit to manage a $16 million budget or the educational future of our children. Please vote “no” and let’s try to fix it. Paul A. Clark Jr. Barryville, NY

Vote “no” to save the school I am the father of three young children in the Eldred School District. To save our kids’ school, my family will vote “no” next Tuesday. We love our school and consider ourselves very fortunate to have such outstanding and caring teachers, support staff and administrators. Because we are a small community of hard-working families and fixed-income retirees, with low enrollment and a small tax base, we need to be especially responsible with our school funding decisions. Next Tuesday, district voters must decide whether to approve a $5.6 million bond to fund some important and worthy projects, but also some items that are not absolutely necessary. This bond will increase the district’s debt to over $14 million and increase all of our taxes for the next 16 years. Shortly after the bond referendum, in May 2015, we will vote on next year’s school budget, which is certain to include even more tax increases. Our school taxes have been kept artificially low over the past four years as the district used a reserve fund, allowing the board to spend $2.7 million more than it took in. With the reserve fund now depleted, the board will have to increase taxes or cut programs. With the additional debt and taxes created by the bond, I am afraid our community will reject further tax increasContinued on page 7

MIXED GREENS

MY VIEW

By Carol Roig

By Cindy Kurpil Gieger

Being a county legislator

overnment for me is about listening to people, reviewing every concern, and doing my best to address the issues. It is about setting goals to research and understand the issues and not simply “rubberstamp” decisions. It is about bringing the issues out in public discussion, as I have come to realize that a government that operates quietly with little public input is likely not a good one. Most importantly, it is about doing what is best for the people of the county as a whole, and not special interest groups. Good government requires people that get involved, ask questions and demand accountability. It includes public debate in a cooperative manner with those that agree or disagree to reach the best goal. It is important that people get involved, as this brings about a renewed hope in government as people become part of decision making. Keeping informed of issues, attending county meetings and asking questions to spur debate are key. It is also important to contact your legislator about matters of concern. Looking back at my four-year term, I can say that much has been accomplished, with a county budget within the New York State tax cap for several years in a row. We have spearheaded reforms in social services, moved forward initiatives in agriculture and sustainability, successfully passed a county ethics law and provided government accountability. But we still have more work ahead. Many have asked about the challenges and rewards of service as legislator and how they could help. The chal-

lenges have been personal agendas, political pressure, dissemination of misinformation and the lack of public involvement. The rewards have been moving necessary change and seeing good results, working with a bipartisan legislature, putting differences aside to work for all the people, invaluable county staff, and that handshake of thanks in the supermarket from those I don’t know. Many faithful supporters have been there and offered assistance as we moved ahead with many challenges of government. To those who reached out to me with various inquiries and those who encouraged me with cards, letters, messages when I tried my best to help, a sincere thank you. I am thankful for the support I have received throughout my term. My husband Stefan has stepped up to fill my role at home. Our five children and daughter-in-laws have offered unwavering support. Encouragement to stay the course has come from my mom, dad, mother-in-law and my siblings cheerleading along the way. Many have asked about a second term. The difficulty is balancing my responsibilities as legislator with those at home. However, recently a colleague remarked, “so many people are depending on us to continue to make a difference.” So, in anticipation of the upcoming year, I will seek your support to stay focused and positive and with the help of my God Jesus Christ—I will throw my hat in the ring. [Cindy Kurpil Gieger is the representative to the Sullivan County Legislature for District 5.]

Gibson leads on climate change This week, Rep.Chris Gibson emerged as a potential leader in Congress in one of the least looked-for places: addressing climate change. Rep. Gibson announced his intention to introduce a resolution to help others “recognize the reality” of climate change and ensure lawmakers are put on the record. He has recognized that the science is clear: we are not moving quickly enough to avoid catastrophic climate change. He has recognized that our country needs firm leadership to reduce our emissions. He has decided to lead his party and others in recognizing that it is time to do what is right. We desperately need this kind of leadership. While a resolution calling all of us to the hard tasks ahead will not by itself reduce carbon emissions, it is a clarion call of leadership. Regardless of our political affiliations, regardless of our differing views, we must all agree to act to preserve our home. Rep. Gibson is calling us to come together and acknowledge that we must act rationally to respond to the clear evidence in front of us: that we are in danger of devastating effects from climate change.

It is essential that we all support this call to action. Thank you, Rep. Gibson, for recognizing that greater action is required. Thank you for being willing to face the difficult task of uniting our divided legislators to do what we all know is the right thing: act together to cut our carbon emissions and avoid the worst impacts of business as usual. I urge all of the citizens of the 19th District of New York to let Congressman Gibson know that we support this resolution. Claire Cortright Upper Delaware Valley Citizens’ Climate Lobby Glen Spey, NY

Thanks to some big hearts We are writing to give a big thank you to Diane Daly, Brenda Seldin and Shirley Masuo for their selfless community service. They have been contributing countless hours capturing local feral cats and delivering them to vets to be neutered, wormed and given rabies shots. These volunteers have successfully captured and returned 15 cats from our immediate area. They require no payment but do accept donations to Animal Rescue. In a time when we read about people who take advantage of others, perhaps we should take the opportunity to salute those who quietly perform community service. We and many others in our community thank you and wish you success in your charitable and worthwhile venture. With much gratitude — Tom and Sandy Nuttycombe Alan and Eleanor Nober Narrowsburg, NY

Wish list

hristmas is a time for connecting with what we truly value, made tangible in our gatherings with family and friends, our nostalgia for holidays past and the renewal of hope for the future. As we enjoy this brief vacation from everyday cynicism, I confess that I am shamelessly susceptible to classic holiday movies, those sentimental cultural touchstones with their timeless themes of family, community, faith and doubt, usually framed in the emotional journeys of beloved characters who desperately need to change their lives. The Yale Project on Climate Change Communication charts public understanding and opinion about the realities of climate change and what actions we should take. Their research has shown that those opinions fluctuate depending on the latest developments in technology and research, the depth and tone of reporting in the popular media and the political orientation of each respondent, since views on climate change tend to divide very predictably along party lines. Most recently, their research has also indicated that the extent of our emotional engagement with the issue is an even stronger predictor of our support for policies that address climate change—stronger than our political affiliations, cultural worldview or socio-economic status. “In particular,” say the study’s authors, “worry, interest and hope were strongly associated with increased policy support. The results contribute to experiential theories of risk information processing and suggest that discrete emotions play a significant role in public support for climate change policy.” Perhaps here, at the intersection of our scientific understanding and our emotional investment—our “worry, interest and hope”—we will find the motivation to act on what we know. With that in mind, here is what I am hoping for this Christmas and in the coming year: I hope we can all find joy in embracing our role as environmental stewards. “The environment” isn’t an abstract concept that exists in opposition to our economic needs. It’s our habitat—our air, water and food and the whole range of resources we draw upon for survival and prosperity. When we connect with the indispensability of nature in our daily lives, we stand a better chance of rejecting the damaging practices and outmoded industries that threaten our welfare. I hope we will all come to see social justice through the sustainability prism. Racism, classism, sexism and other social prejudices; poverty wages, food insecurity and substandard housing; corruption, abuse of power and the exploitation of the vulnerable are all, in the most pragmatic sense, a shameful waste of human resources and a destructive force that keeps us divided, confused, weak and afraid. I hope that more people will get worried about climate change and find ways to transform that worry into deeper knowledge and positive action. Whether you resolve to make changes at the personal level or embrace activism on a broader stage, change is an emotional journey. Climate science tells us clearly what we need to do. But change is motivated by feeling as well as information—fear, anger, empathy, hope. Most of all, hope.

NARROWSBURG NEWS

By Grace Johansen

By Jane Luchsinger

hat would life be like without a few curves and bumps along the road? Unfortunately, the curves and bumps for many of us lately seem to be in the form of a miserable, drippy head cold that we have been experiencing recently. If that weren’t enough, we were hit with more drips, in the form of rain on Saturday, December 6, interfering with the Narrowsburg visit of the Santa Express. Hopefully many of you were able to catch Santa on Sunday, December 7 in a neighboring area. His visit is never disappointing and worth the trip. Let’s hope we are in store for smooth sailing now, right until Christmas. That means you have to get out and shop, wrap the gifts, bake, decorate, etc. Here’s an idea. Try to purchase gifts so that the majority of gifts are made in America. Not so long ago, this wasn’t even considered a task, since everything from cars to board games was made in America. Not so easy nowadays; but here are a few

helpful ideas. Shop on Main Street. You don’t even have to check where an item was made if you shop at By Delaine, a gift shop that only sells American-made products. For that man on your list that’s hard to get gifts for, pick up a wallet made from recycled bicycle and truck tires. Go next door to Mayer/Wasner and purchase Lisa B. socks for him or her from a company based in Honesdale, PA (note: while visiting Reykjavik, Iceland I saw Lisa B. socks being sold). Walk across the street and shop in Signatures Gift Shop, where many items are made by local artists. You are not too late to catch the annual “Art in Sixes” show at DVAA, where no piece of art is greater than six inches. These small works make wonderful gifts for that hard-to-please person on your list. This is just a beginning, but if you are serious about trying to purchase American-made gifts, I suggest you shop locally, a win-win .

n the spring of 1948, the Narrowsburg Airport, Malcolm Dexter’s business venture, was in full swing with many area residents learning to fly. It was located where Lander’s campground now is, and Mr. Dexter had built hangers, hired an instructor and offered training to acquire a pilot’s license. Here, waiting for a spin in Dexter’s Navion are, left to right, Shirley Reith, Jeanne Slater, Charlotte Hamje and Kate Dexter, Malcolm’s daughter. Dexter’s tragic death in July of 1948 led to the slow demise of the business. From the collection of the Tusten Historical Society.

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The Catskill Art Society will present a roundtable discussion of visual artists to discuss how materials in many different mediums can affect health and the environment. The discussion, led by Kalika Stern, the Society for Folk Arts Preservation; Robin Dintiman, sculptor; and Nancy Wells, artist, will take place at the CAS Arts Center at 48 Main St. on December 13 at 2 p.m. Artists often work with materials that

are hazardous or even toxic when handled incorrectly. Even common pigments, chemicals, and acids can pose a danger to human health and the environment. In this discussion, working artists will talk about their experiences with various materials, answer questions and point out useful information and best practices informed by modern science. This event is free and open to the public, and donations will be accepted at the door.

uring the holidays, pet parents and house guests appear to not be able to resist the temptation of the alluring look from the family cat or dog as they gaze at your leftovers. All too often people try justifying to themselves the benign effects of feeding that last piece of turkey, dressing, oven-roasted vegetable, or cranberry sauce. Contrary to public belief, even the smallest amount of table food can cause serious illness. The most common disease small animal veterinarians diagnose and treat during the holiday season is called pancreatitis. This disease can afflict dogs as well as cats. Often the cause is food that the pet is not normally exposed to and even more sensitive to foods that contain a large amount of fat or grease. The pancreas is an organ that is nestled cozily under the stomach and in close proximity to the liver. The organ is a glandular structure that is responsible for secreting enzymes that aid in digesting fats and carbohydrates as well as creating insulin. The increased fatty-food intake results in over-activity of the organ, causing severe inflammation to the pancreas and adjacent organs. This inflammation decreases digestion ability, which then causes less nutrient absorption. The process can be quite painful and life threatening. Further warning: not all patients have to ingest fatty food to develop pancreatitis. Some breeds, such as Schnauzers, are predisposed to the disease because many of them have fat metabolism disease. Cats, on the other hand, can develop pancreatitis from environmental stress, often occurring during the holidays. If you know that your pet had the opportunity to eat table food and subsequently develops loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever, a veterinarian should see them as soon as possible. Delay in medical testing and proper treatment can prolong healing and in some situations increase risk of secondary life threaten-

ing complications. When you bring your pet to the veterinary office they will have a thorough examination by the veterinarian and a series of diagnostic tests will need to be performed. The mainstay diagnostics include a complete blood count, clinical chemistry and radiographs. Some additional tests that may need to be performed include an ultrasound (sonogram) so that your veterinarian can actually see the pancreas and adjacent organs and a pancreatic lipase specific test. In some cases an abdominal exploratory procedure may need to be performed; this is a procedure where the veterinarian opens the patient’s abdomen and looks at all the organs. Treatment for pancreatitis is typically achieved with hospitalization lasting two to four days on intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and anti-vomiting medications. Small, frequent meals are administered and in some cases patients must have a feeding tube placed in their noses, a nasogastric tube, for a short period of time. Some patients may respond sooner while others may require longer hospital stays. Recovery overall is quite good; however in some cases, once the inflammation subsides, scar formation may occur. When 80% of the pancreas is damaged, insulin cannot be produced and thus diabetes can develop. Aside from the risk of developing pancreatitis when sharing your holiday trimmings, it is important to also know that many of the spices or even foods can be toxic to pets. Some of the most common ones include garlic, onions, grapes, raisins, chocolate and macadamia nuts. Even in the smallest amounts these products can be highly toxic and life threatening, so it is best to avoid them completely at all costs. If you are concerned about a potential ingestion or exposure you are encouraged to contact your family veterinarian as soon as possible.

Only 3,400 hospitals this year have earned the AAHA-accredited designation out of over 27,000-plus in the United States—about 1 out of 9 nationwide. AHOSC is the only veterinary hospital in the Sullivan County region to have such an accreditation. It is located at 667 Harris Rd, Ferndale, NY 12734. Call 845/292-6711.

Eat, Drink & Be Merry. Food pantries and community meals New York

By Linda Drollinger

ARROWSBURG, NY – At 11:50 a.m., the crowd gathering in the cold rain outside St. Paul’s Church parish hall is talkative, upbeat, and hungry. The doors to Katie’s Café, a free community meal program, open at 12 noon, but the wet weather and the guests’ unbridled enthusiasm guarantee early admission. In they come, trying to guess the menu from the aromas that greet them. Community meals are a fast-growing trend of rural life in New Millennium America. An outgrowth of food pantries and food banks, they seek to fill needs unmet by those food distribution services. “We aren’t reaching some of the people who need help most, and we aren’t providing all the help some people need,” one food pantry staffer confided.

For the holidays During the holiday season, when rich and festive food is associated with the celebrations, the need is especially poignant. Some organizations in our area have responded with special programs that provide traditional dinners for those who are going through hard times and otherwise might not be able to afford them. The Narrowsburg Ecumenical Food Pantry provides holiday ham dinner baskets with all the trimmings, to be distributed on December 22. Also during the holiday season, you can contribute to the pantry by putting food in barrels at Peck’s, which Peck’s will match. Grace Episcopal Church in Honesdale, PA, will offer a Christmas lunch on December 25. Beach Lake Methodist Church in Beach Lake, PA also plans a Christmas lunch, on December 13. St. John’s Episcopal Church in Monticello, NY will have a special holiday pantry on December 22.

Year round “The people we serve are grateful for what is provided, but some of them are also incapacitated by illness, injury or age-related conditions that make meal preparation difficult or impossible. And some of them lack food storage and cooking facilities where they live,” said the same staffer. To hear her tell it, most of the needy also suffer the stigma, isolation, loneliness and despair often experienced by the poor, sick and unemployed. Community meals are typically hosted

The Narrowsburg Ecumenical Food Pantry, whose leadership is shown here, is among the local groups that provide holiday cheer for those who have trouble affording it. by churches and other not-for-profit organizations, but no church affiliation, religious faith or devotional practice is required for attendance. All who present themselves are welcomed and none are asked to join the host church or organization. A community meal is strictly food service and fellowship. Burgeoning since the Great Recession, community meals have their roots in colonial America; the first Thanksgiving meal is probably the first documented instance of a community meal. In the Upper Delaware region, the practice continued well into the mid-20th century. Covered dish suppers, aka potluck dinners, were usually held on Sunday afternoons, were frequently spontaneous events and involved no invitations, reservations, or catering. All local residents, as well as their guests and visitors, were welcome to attend, and each family was expected to bring one food course, often a favorite recipe or signature dish from the lady of the house. But, with the passing of many area dairy farms in the late ‘60s, their popularity waned, and they all but disappeared until their recent return in the guise of community meals. Says Rob Holmstrup, driving force behind Katie’s Café, “In the beginning, meals were meticulously planned, with detailed menus, donors and servers lined up well in advance. But soon after its inception, the program began to run itself. Without asking for them, food donations pour in. Almost everyone who comes brings food. And we’ve never had to worry about having enough desserts – they come in spades.” Asked if adversity is the main draw, Holmstrup says, “I think it’s loneliness. Many of our guests are retirees and the elderly. They’re looking for a place to see old friends and meet new ones. This is a social hour, but we also offer takeout.”

In My Humble Opinion

By Jonathan B J th Ch Charles l F Fox

Â&#x201E;ÂśĂ?Ă?Â&#x17E;ÂąÂ&#x17E;Â&#x2014;Ă?Â&#x17D;ÂŞĹ&#x2122;Â&#x2026;ÂśÂ°

Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

ately, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been yearning for a sleigh of my own, since it seems that what has been considered an outmoded form of transportation is in again. My dictionary defines outmoded as â&#x20AC;&#x153;old-fashioned, unstylish, and out of dateâ&#x20AC;? along with â&#x20AC;&#x153;passĂŠ, untrendy and uncool.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been called a lot of things, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;trendyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolâ&#x20AC;? have never been on the list, so it would seem Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a perfect candidate for bringing back the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ring-ting-tingle-ing too.â&#x20AC;? Before the iceman cameth last weekend, I managed to get out to Monticello (www.mrwillys.com) for the annual dinner and year-in-review of the Sullivan County Visitors Association (www.scva. net), which gave me an opportunity to dress up and haul out the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday garb as well, since everyone wants a photo-op with the Wonder Dog. SCVA cochairs Paul Carlucci and Elaine Fettig welcomed guests before Sullivan County Legislature Chairman Scott Samuelson said a few words, along with Laurette Pitts (www.monticellocasinoandraceway.com), Cliff Erlich (www.mohegansunconcord.com) and New York State Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, all of whom addressed the ongoing casino conversations taking place in the county and the excitement surrounding the topic. After a nice repast and a good deal of hand shaking, I looked outside and suggested to the pup that we â&#x20AC;&#x153;giddy-yapâ&#x20AC;? and headed out the door, silently praying that the weather would hold long enough for me to make it to the concert (www.wailers. com) at Bethel Woods the next evening. But alas, no such luck. After I did a bit of wailing myself over the road conditions, we gave up and stayed in, based on highway patrol recommendations and made out my schedule for the coming week. I did manage, however, to get out to Bethel Woods the next day to take in the annual holiday market, peruse the local artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; booths filled with hand-made gifts for the holidays and give the pup a chance to sit with Santa and find out whether she was naughty or nice. To see pics of the event, visit www.facebook.com/theriverreporter and like, share and tag your friends. I will be very surprised if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a horse and carriage on Main St. in Callicoon as the first-ever â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dickens on the Delawareâ&#x20AC;? takes place this Saturday from 12 noon to 7 p.m., replete with more

(See pages 15 through 17 of this issue for a sample of what Callicoon merchants have to offer.) Special performances by the Delaware Valley Opera Company, Little Sparrow and a Blue Grass Country Trio are also on the bill and rumor has it that Irene Nikolai (www.facebook.com/callicoontrading) is once again motivating the community to party like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1899. A little birdie told me that (as part of the celebration) there will be a grand re-opening ribbon-cutting ceremony nearby (www.honeyhillpottery. com) as potters Ellany Gable and Franco Lo Pinto join forces to make Honey Hill even sweeter (IMHO) than it was before. Later that same night, Maureen McGovern, celebrated as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Stradivarius Voice,â&#x20AC;? is slated to appear at the Event Gallery (www.bethelwoodscenter.org) performing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home for the Holidaysâ&#x20AC;? as part of the Bradstan Cabaret Series, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;lovely weather for a sleigh ride togetherâ&#x20AC;? with her.

Far more popular than I, the pooch (www. facebook.com/DharmaTheWonderDog) is scheduled to appear this Sunday in Bethel, NY (www.catskilldistillingcompany.com) to sign pawtographs and show her support of her feline friends at the Folk Fest for Felines fundraiser benefitting the Catskill Animal Rescue and Carrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rescues along with other animal rescue organizations in our area. It will feature members of the Sullivan County Songwriters Circle, and a full roster of entertainers, including Mike Jung, Janet Burgan, Ken Somerville and a slew of others. The poster promises â&#x20AC;&#x153;A folking good time,â&#x20AC;? and the event will also feature a book signing of the just released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adventures of Kabukiâ&#x20AC;? (yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a cat) by Jane FelberStrauss. For more info, call 845/583-3141; but by all means, stop by and lend a paw. Whether or not the weather outside is frightful, as the old song says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a happy feeling nothing in the world can buyâ&#x20AC;? and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing that this weekend will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;like a picture print by Currier and Ivesâ&#x20AC;? including â&#x20AC;&#x153;things we remember all through our lives.â&#x20AC;? Hope to see you there!

‘Around Neversink: i From the Rondout Reservoir to the Neversink Reservoir’ “Around Neversink: From the Rondout Reservoir to the Neversink Reservoir,” by Carol Gridley Smith. (Arcadia Publishing, $21.99). Carol Gridley Smith is the historian for the Town of Neversink, NY. She turned 81 just as “Around Neversink” was released. She grew up in the Town of Neversink and attended a one-room school there. She attended high school in Ellenville, NY and earned a degree in sociology at SUNY New Paltz. This pictorial history, a treasure trove of images dating back to the 19th century, is ideal for the history-lovers on your gift list. Smith wrote of her book, “I hope the book reaches out so people can see what the ‘old days’ were like, and at the same time I am happy that the images are preserved for the future.” Contributed photo

‘How to Survive Life (and Death) A Guide to Happiness in This World and Beyond’

Contributed photo

“How to Survive Life (and Death): A Guide to Happiness in This World and Beyond,” by Robert Kopecky (Conari Press/Weiser Books). This book is based on Kopecky’s three compelling, and distinctively different, near death experiences, and what he learned about how to live from each of them. The emphasis is not on the scenarios of the afterlife, but the nature and meaning of each of the three experiences, and how those lessons apply to leading happy, fulfilling lives. Out of his experiences, Kopecky, who has a residence in Northeast PA and has given a reading of his book at the Tusten-Cochecton branch of the Western Sullivan Library, comes up with radical kindness, radical forgiveness, and radical surrender as his “three tips for happiness.”

EGION — The Delaware Valley Opera will present a performance of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” on Friday, December 11 at 7 p.m. at The Cooperage in Honesdale, PA; on Saturday, December 12 at 7 p.m. at the Tusten Theatre in Narrowsburg, NY; and at 2 p.m on Sunday, December 14 at Bethel Woods in Bethel, NY. In a little village near the town of Bethlehem and in the evening just a few days after the birth of Jesus, Amahl, a disabled boy—and teller of tall tales—is sitting outside his humble home playing his shepherd’s pipe, when he sees an amazing star that is “as big as a window” and that is hanging in the night sky. Het tells his mother, who dismisses it as another tall tale. This is also the case when, a short time later, Amahl tells her of the presence of three kings whom he claims to have seen standing just outside the door. So begins Gian Carlo Menotti’s beloved one-act opera Amahl and the Night Visitors. The suggested donation for The Cooperage is $15 in advance, $20 at the door, under 12 free. For The Cooperage, call 570/253-2020. For Bethel Woods, visit www. bethelwoodscenter.org. For the opera company, visit Visitwww.delawarevalleyopera.org.

ALLENPAUPACK PA and SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Within the confines of area gyms, you can already feel the electrifying pulse of the new basketball season. Given the intensity of the sport, which provides riveting non-stop action and compelling drama, it is no wonder that year after year the start of the new hoops season generates such fervor.

Getting early season experience and hopefully some wins can set the stage for successful runs that can lead to sectional contention and perhaps post-season glory. For the Monticello Panthers, under the savvy tutelage of Coach Christopher Russo, that journey began with a pair of victories in the Lake Region Tip Off Classic staged at Wallenpaupack High School on December 6 and 7. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;over the river and through the woodsâ&#x20AC;? adventure has been part of the Montiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedule for years, and it is always a daunting task. There is no shot clock in Pennsylvania, which makes for a different style of play. With victories over East Stroudsburg North (52-48) and Lackawanna Trail High School (63-57), the Monties (2-0) reclaimed the tourney title last held by them in 2010, a year that saw a title repeat in what was then known as the Hawley Rotary Tip Off Classic. In the championship game tournament, MVP senior Devin Williams scored 20 points and posted 10 rebounds. Senior Sha-Shawn Drayton netted 19 points and added 19 rebounds. Mentor Gashi was named to the AllTournament team. In the opening round, the Panthers were led by Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 25-point output augmented by 11 rebounds. Drayton had 12 points and 15 rebounds as they triumphed over an athletic and quick Timberwolves squad. More details of the tournament can be found at www. sportsinsightsny.com and photos are on display at www.sportsinsights.smugmug.com. In other local boys action, the Sullivan West Bulldogs outlasted a quick Tri-Valley team in the opening round of the Walton Tip Off Tournament by the score of 58-54. The Bulldogs were paced by senior Noah Bauer, who fired in a sextet of treys to abet the cause. Tri-Valley was led by senior Justin Swarthout, who just returned from a torn MCL injury incurred against Sullivan West in football. Both teams lost in the second round. Sullivan West (1-1) fell to Stamford 62-48 in the championship game.

Sullivan West Ronj Padu would score 16 points in the championship game loss to Stamford. He was named to the All-Tournament team. Here he rises for two against Tri-Valley.

Monticello senior Devin Williams was named the Tournament MVP as the Panthers defeated East Stroudsburg North and Lackawanna Trail High School respectively to capture the Lake Region Tip-Off Classic Tourney title for the first time since 2010. Williams had 25 points in the opener and 20 points in the title game. He posted 21 rebounds over the two games.

Sullivan West senior Noah Bauer fires in the last of his six three-pointers as the Bulldogs defeat Tri-Valley 58-54 in the opening round of the Walton Tip-Off Tournament. Both teams went on to lose their respective games in the second round.

ETHEL, NY — On November 22, the Delaware Highlands Conservancy celebrated 20 years of conservation and education in the Upper Delaware River region—as well as the 90th birthday of the conservancy’s founder, Barbara Yeaman—with a celebration at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. A highlight of the evening was the auction to name one of the conservancy’s Eagle Observation Areas in Sullivan County, NY. The top bidders unanimously agreed to call the viewing area the “Barbara Yeaman Eagle Observation Area” in honor of the conservancy’s founder and her vision to protect the special places of the Upper Delaware River region, now and for future generations. Contributions from generous dinner sponsors and attendees will be used to support the Conservancy’s land protection work in our local communities. Attendees enjoyed a farm-to-table dinner, live music, and exciting raffles. The nonprofit Delaware Highlands Conservancy works in partnership with landowners and communities of the Up-

EGION — The annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count will be held this year on December 20th. All are invited to join. The Audubon Christmas Bird Count utilizes the power of volunteers to track the health of bird populations at a scale that professional scientists could never accomplish alone. Every year, over 70,000 volunteer bird counters in more than 2,300 locations across the Western Hemisphere are mobilized. Data compiled will record every individual bird and bird species seen in the 7.5-mile radius of White Mills. Data from all the previous counts has been the basis of hundreds of peer-reviewed and scientific studies and informs decisions by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department of the

Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency. Because birds are an early indicator of environmental threats to habitats, tracking and recording changes in their location are valuable to the understanding of weather patterns and consequently, the changing climate and its effect on our world. The recent Audubon Birds and Climate report, released in September, used data collected during the last 40 years of Christmas bird counts, as well as other citizen science counts conducted by people who enjoy and love birds. You don’t need to be an expert; Audubon will pair you with someone who can help make the identifications. Children of all ages are welcome. Call 570/253-2364.

RIVER TALK

This millipede (below), probably part of the Parajulidae family, was crawling up the foundation of my house on November 24. Millipedes seek shelter over winter and are frequently unwanted houseguests, preferring moist areas such as cellars. Millipedes do not have 1000 legs as the name implies; each body segment, with exception of the first four segments, has two pair of legs.

Mild days may yield surprises

t was the last week in November, a few days before Thanksgiving, when I was driving in the pre-dawn darkness on a quiet road. A steady rain was ushering in a couple of days of unseasonably mild weather for this time of year. A few leaves were on the wet road, and all seemed normal until one of the leaves hopped. A look at the size of the hopping “leaf” and the length of the hop indicated that it could be an American toad. The rain may have displaced our amphibian friend from its hibernacula, and as I veered around it to ensure it would find new digs for the winter safely, I wondered what other creatures might take advantage of this November warm spell. The following two days were mild, with some scattered clouds for a part of one of the days. I found a variety of insect life in the forests: many flies, some snow fleas, spiders, and a couple of small moths. Some wooly aphids were also spotted flying. Most of the insect life was of the smaller species. No mourning cloak butterflies chose to leave their winter hiding spots (they are more frequently seen on milder February or March days; see the

River Talk of April 5, 2012 for more on this fascinating butterfly (www.riverreport er.com/column/river-talk/7/2012/04/04/ harbinger-spring). Many insects and other small invertebrates reach the end of their lifecycle by the time the first hard frost arrives. However, there are many that either hibernate or find sheltered places to survive over the winter. When a warm spell occurs over winter, some of these critters may show themselves to you or to oppor tunistic birds, which relish a nice snack during the winter. The included images in this week’s column show just a few of the creatures that I saw.

Although snow fleas (above), or springtails, are more visible on snow during mild days, they are active much of the year where they can be found foraging on decaying plant matter in leaf litter. They are very tiny; in this image, they are swarming on the tip of an oak leaf.

This ichneumon wasp (left) was found on the hood of a car just after the millipede sighting. This is likely a female getting ready to hibernate over winter; in the spring, it lays its eggs on other insect larva, usually moths. For this reason, it is considered a beneficial insect.
