Angels Over Afghanistan's Yard Sale a Success
Angels over Afghanistan brought in a
record-breaking $10,739 at their yard
sale last month. The money earned from
the sale will go towards purchasing and
shipping packages to deployed troops in
harm's way. To date, the Angels have
sent more than ten tons to our fighting
soldiers.
The Angels recognize the effort of
those who helped with the sale: local
merchants, who provided tents, food,
tables, and merchandise; customers who
attended the sale; and the many friends
who helped unpack and sort items before
the sale. The Angels give thanks to all
who had a part in making the sale a
success.
For information about the Angels, go

On Wednesday, July 27, a $1,000
check was presented to Kathleen Horner,
Director of Tioga Opportunities Inc.
The presentation was made by Ginny
Robert and Karen Klecar, Co-Chairs of
the “Celebrating Women in Business”
event held earlier this year.
The Women in Business Event was
scheduled to be held last November and
almost cancelled because of the devastat-
ing flood. Fortunately the event was re-
scheduled for March. It was an extreme-
ly successful event and organizers decid-
ed because so many were impacted by
the flood, $1,000 from ticket sales
should go to flood relief.
The presentation was held at Tioga
Opportunities, 9 Sheldon Guile Blvd. in
Owego.

Local Author Launches New Novel - July 15 Local author R. W.
White of Owego invites
everyone to the launch of
his latest novel, The Se-
cret of Abetifi, on Sun-
day, July 15, 2:00 to 5:00
pm at The Bundy Muse-
um, 129 Main Street, in
Binghamton.
The Secret of Abetifi,
White's fifth book and
third novel, is set in West
Africa, and follows the
adventures of newlyweds,
Francesca and Ben Ham-
ilton, who accept the of-
fer of an expense-paid
honeymoon and the op-
portunity to put their re-
cently-obtained university
credentials into practice.
While studying a group of
centenarians in the moun-
taintop village of Abetifi,
they stumble upon a se-
cret for long life, bringing
them into conflict with a
multi-national, pharmaceutical giant
determined to produce and market a
‘Fountain of Youth’ drug. What was to
have been a risk-free honeymoon be-
comes a terrifying experience of life-
threatening twists and turns,
hurtling their adventure into
a tense and exciting conclu-
sion.
White's previous novel
was Hotbed in Tranquility,
the first such book on gas
drilling and hydrofracking in
the Marcellus Shale. All of
his books will be available
for purchase on July 15, with
profits going to The Bundy
Museum.
Exhibits, refreshments and
conversation will be in the
Carriage House, in the rear of
the museum. Personal tours
of the largest collection of
African Art and Artifacts
outside of New York City
will be offered on the half-
hour, for which a free-will
donation would be appreciat-
ed.
Parking may be on-street,
in the lot behind the Main
Street Baptist Church, or
behind 127-129 Main Street. For more
information, call the museum at (607)
772-9179 or on the internet go to
www.booksbybobwhite.com.

Flag Day Celebrated in Nichols
Anyone driving through or walking
in the Village of Nichols couldn’t help
but notice the balloons, flags, and prom-
inent display of red, white, and blue at
the Cady Library. The Community Care
Network of Nichols (CCNN) sponsored
the annual Flag Day celebration at the
Cady Library on June 14.
Nichols’ Mayor, LeeAnn Tinney
welcomed guests to the event. Pastor
John Austin offered the invocation.
Special guest speaker was Jim Raftis
from the VFW post 1371. Members of
the VFW 1371 performed the flag fold-
ing ceremony, explaining to the audi-
ence the significance of the 13 folds.
Special music was provided by Taylor
Timchack, “The National Anthem”;
Beth Bailey, “The Battle Hymn of the
Republic”; Ted Dydynski, “Amazing
Grace” on the bagpipes.
The Nichols/Tioga Center Boy
Scouts and Cub Scouts assisted with the
Pledge of Allegiance. The Nichols/Tioga
Center Girl Scouts served refreshments.
Community Care Network of
Nichols’ board chairperson Barb Cran-
nell was the MC for the event and was
assisted by Uncle Sam, Max Dydynski,
in presenting the certificates to the stu-
dent contest winners. Several students
participated in the Flag Day contest,
from coloring a photo of our flag in the
younger elementary grades, to writing
an inspiring essay of what the flag
means to them.
Each entry, whether chosen as a
“winner” or not, was honored with a free
ice cream sandwich from Dad’s Ice
Cream.
Those entries, which stood out as
unique and original, were able to display
or read their winning entries to the audi-
ence. Each received a $5.00 gift certifi-
cate for Dad’s Ice Cream.
All in all, it was a wonderfully at-
tended celebration of our American
Flag.
CCNN would like to thank all who
participated and helped make the even-
ing an inspiring and patriotic event.

Scholarship Race at Tioga Downs
Last month at Tioga Downs, five
local area high school students got the
opportunity of a lifetime in the third
annual Tioga Downs’ Scholarship Race.
The students representing five local area
high schools were: Kayla Pepper of
Johnson City High School, Whitney
Seabrooks of Binghamton High School,
Gabriella Martinichio of Chenango
Forks, Adrian Roma of Maine-Endwell,
and Karina Liberati of Chenango Valley.
The five students had participated in
training sessions with some of the Tioga
Downs’ horsemen over a three week
period in preparation for Sunday’s race.
Helping assist the girls, and also riding
in the double seated jog carts with them
for the race were Jason MacDougal, Tim
Lanpher, Corey Braden, Fern Paquet Jr.,
and Tyler Freese.
The students raced once around the
racetrack in between the second and
third race on Sunday afternoon and it
was a photo finish at the wire. Karina
Liberati of Chenango Valley and driver
Tyler Freese edged out Kayla Pepper
and Jason MacDougal to take home the
$3,000 scholarship for first place. Kayla
Pepper received $2,000 for second,
Whitney Seabrooks finished third good
for $1,200, Adriana Roma received $800
for fourth, and Gabriella Martinichio
picked up $500 for fifth.
“This is one of our best events we
have at Tioga throughout the year. It
gets some of our local area kids involved
in harness racing and gives them a great
opportunity to help pay for their contin-
ued education after high school” said
Jason M. Settlemoir, VP of Racing and
Simulcast.
The sponsors helping support the
third annual Scholarship race are the
Harness Horse Breeder’s of New York
State, Southern Tier Harness Horse-
men’s Association, New York Sire
Stakes, and Tioga Downs.
