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.

Apalachin Lions Club Awards Scholarships

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.

been a passion of mine and as a young

person; I hope to help attract younger

people like myself to our great game.”

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.
