M & M Motors and More Re-Opening June 15

By Liz Page

STAMFORD –  Before the last ember was doused, Mike Kiel and Marty Cole (M & M) were promising to rebuild their business. It has taken a lot of hard work, sweat and tears, but the date is set for June 15 from  to reopen the doors at M & M Motors and More. There will be free hot dogs and hamburgers from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and an opportunity to walk through and view their new, state of the art digs.  It has been 18 months since a devastating fire leveled their business at 6 Beaver Street in Stamford.

The two close friends have been in business since 2018, changing the name from Engelke Tires to its current name. They have been cleaning up and rebuilding since the fire on Nov. 14, 2022. They have spent that time rebuilding a larger, state of the art shop.

The two can't say enough about the support they have received from the community, which has helped them build back in same location. "Half the reason we are still standing is that the community as a whole supported us. It was overwhelming," said Kiel. "I still can't believe how much support we received. I'm sure its that local support that has allowed us to rebuild on this very spot. It was cool to be able to put a shop back in this location."

Both have been tinkering on vehicles since they were old enough to hold tools in their hands. Now they are anxious to get back into the fold of working on vehicles and finally set the construction tools they have been wielding for the past 18 months aside. The two weeks before their reopening gives them an opportunity to get their mechanic "mo-jo" back and learn what's new over the past 18 months.

"We are fortunate. We had a great insurance policy and the fact we did all of the construction work ourselves helped us make it a little bit bigger." Family members chipped in to help with the construction as well.

"We have the most advanced diagnostics you can get," said Cole and they know how to use them. While they were waiting for materials to arrive, or there was a lull in construction, they took courses. Both are taking a course on a computer-based learning system that can teach everything from the very basics to electric cars and provide certifications. "We are not afraid of the electronics."

They installed every inch of the 11,000 feet of tubing for the radiant heating in the shop and large office, conference room, waiting room and kitchenette. They have several lifts and working stations and computers for whatever they are doing. They can also do computer programming.

They do mechanical repairs on everything. They also do inspections, alignments, air conditioning work, engine replacement and transmission replacement. They are  outfitters for Weather Tech and Rough Country, which Cole calls all kinds of vehicle accessories to outfit whatever. They can customize your ride.

They are back with U-Haul rentals, which they are doing now, and  they can do fleet maintenance and all aspects of car care. They will not, however, be doing tires although they will do balancing with a state of the art computerized balancing machine. They also do motorcycle and medium duty truck inspections.

In the future they would like to add a mechanic and another secretary to help their "shop mom" Christy Wright. She's the one who keeps them on track and she is the pleasant voice on the phone.

They are very anxious to get back into the swing of things in their new building and are already looking to add other items and dealers in the future. 

They say they have a long list of Thank Yous to make which helped them to achieve the goal they set just after the fire.  As soon as the tears stopped, they beginning to feel the push of the entire community behind them to rebuild the business that sold and installed truck caps, side steps and slides, as well as doing mechanical repairs and offering U-Haul rentals.

They realized after setting the reopening party date that it coincides with the Hay Days at Eklunds Farm Machinery. "We didn't plan it that way, but his time of year there is always so much going on," said Kiel. 

Eklunds is at the top of their thank you list. A benefit spaghetti dinner was held to help raise money with the community realizing their livelihood would be impacted. Here's the thank you list: Oneonta Garage Doors; Eklund Farm Machinery; Hermann Engineering; George Haynes; TPs Cafe´;Mac-A- Doodles; the Stamford Fire Department; Don VanEtten; Rich Irwin; Tom, Carl and Jeremy Hanselman; Bachmann Brand; Brent Trimbell at Lasting Impressions; Sean Land; Drogen Electric; Gerry Moore and Carol;Stamford NAPA; VAS; Railroad Ave. Supply (Ace); Kelley Farm and Garden; Bonnie Bachmann of Pixel Box; Josh Wietzner; Eric Peterson; Connor Alwine of Alwine's Trucking; Sunrise Heating; Darren Hanway and Mark Wolf.

A Laura Sue King Artist Talk on Her Solo Show "Flower Targets"

ROXBURY — The Roxbury Arts Group is happy to announce an Artist Talk with Laura Sue King on her current solo show at the Roxbury Arts Center, Flower Targets. Flower Targets includes acrylic paintings on canvas and wood, and watercolor paintings on paper. The artist talk will take place at the Roxbury Arts Center at 1pm on Saturday, June 15 Roxbury Arts Center, 5025 Vega Mountain Road, Roxbury . Be sure to come out to get further in-person insight on these wonderful works. The show is viewable from May 11 through July 6. For more information or to RSVP visit our website at roxburyartsgroup.org.

Laura Sue King was born in 1962 in Santa Barbara, California to a feminist schoolteacher and a hippie potter. Her focus on how we experience color in painting began as a graduate student in the renowned Hunter College Color School. King has exhibited in Argentina, China, Germany, Mauritius, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Great Britain, and the United States. She has been honored both as an artist and educator, receiving an AIM award from the Bronx Museum of the Arts, an international printmaking residency from the Mahatma Gandhi Institute on the island of Mauritius, and grants from Hunter College, the New School, and the State of New York. King teaches undergraduate studio art at Hunter College, where she has been an adjunct professor for thirty years. She lives full-time in Fleischmanns, NY with her partner and their two dogs.

As King writes, “my paintings are first about color. Knowledge of scientific and theoretical systems help me to feel a little more in control of what I’m doing in the studio, but this information doesn’t make good paintings. While choosing color is my focus as I begin each painting, it is surely the experience of color rather than the actual color that motivates me.”  

This exhibit is generously sponsored by Roxbury Wine and Spirits.  All programs offered by the Roxbury Arts Group are supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature, the Robinson Broadhurst Foundation, the A. Lindsay & Olive B. O’Connor Foundation, the Tianaderrah Foundation, Loving Live, Inc, the Delaware National Bank of Delhi, and by the generosity of business sponsors and individual donors like you.

Stars and Stripes is More Than a Gesture in Andes

Stars and Stripes Andes nonprofit President Ryan Abbate with Vice President Beth Abbate 

Memorial Day weekend fireworks at the Andes Hotel which hosted the Stars and Stripes fundraiser 

By Robert Brune

ANDES — In Andes, the appreciation for everyone who served in the military to protect our freedoms goes well beyond an annual gesture of gratitude. Ryan Abbate is the acting president of the Bill Day Foundation (Stars and Stripes), with Beth Abbate as vice president, Dorothy McArdle as Treasurer, Laurie Day as secretary.  R. Abbate estimates at least sixteen other dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly to organize the fundraiser at the Andes Hotel all through the previous week for this past weekend’s celebration and fundraiser BBQ. While there are other surrounding villages that do similar dedications to members of our military, R Abbate explains, “ we are one of the only towns that pull down the flags and military banners each November. This greatly increases the life span of the materials. Romo Machine in Andes, (Local business) fabricates all the banner holders and snowflake/flower brackets for us, so all of that is custom made.”

R. Abbate expresses his gratitude for everyone involved in this nonprofit, “When it comes to the event, all money raised goes directly to fund the flowers, military banners, American flags, and holiday decorations along Main Street in Andes. All of those mentioned items are installed, maintained, and removed by only volunteers. All of that could not be possible without them.”  According to R. Abbate, the Memorial Day weekend fundraiser is the only event they plan each year to raise money to keep the culture of celebrating local people who have served and carrying on the tradition of holiday decorations. This event has been embraced and supported by Derek Curl of the Andes Hotel and their staff as R. Abbate tells it, “The Andes Hotel and Derek Curl have always been there for us and have given our organization whatever we need. Dereck is by far the most generous and caring individual I have ever met. Dereck is the reason why we have an amazing fireworks display. That donation always comes directly from him.” 

There were hundreds of people who showed up for the BBQ through the afternoon into the evening. By 7:30 pm they had run through more than one hundred and thirty chickens that had been prepared, according to McArdle. Curl supplemented the chickens that had run out with Tara’s pizza for free.  The people who attended enjoyed live music and a tremendous fireworks display that impressed everyone who stayed until 9 pm.

Conviction in Fentanyl Dealing Case

DELHI – District Attorney Shawn Smith announced today that Charles A. Walsh, 30, of Sidney, New York, was convicted of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, a Class B Felony in Delaware County Court on May 28, 2024. 

The defendant appeared in Delaware County Court on May 28, 2024, for a court conference.  At the conclusion of the conference, the defendant pleaded guilty to Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, a Class B Felony.  Prior to pleading guilty, the defendant admitted that he knowingly and unlawfully possessed fentanyl in the Village of Sidney on February 6, 2024.  The defendant further admitted that he intended to sell that fentanyl.  The defendant is also required to forfeit the cash that was seized when he was arrested by the New York State Police.  Those proceeds will be used by law enforcement to investigate other drug dealers. 

This guilty plea was entered as part of a negotiated disposition wherein it is anticipated that the defendant will be sentenced to 5 and 1/2 years in state prison, to be followed by 2 years of post-release supervision. After the defendant entered his guilty plea, the Honorable John L. Hubbard, Delaware County Court Judge, remanded the defendant to the custody of the Delaware County Correctional Facility pending his sentencing, which is scheduled for July 10, 2024. 

District Attorney Smith commended the investigation conducted by the New York State Police Violent Gangs and Narcotics Enforcement Team, specifically Investigators Robert Quick and Patrick Finn. Smith stated, “Their dedicated efforts successfully prevented a large quantity of dangerous drugs from being sold in our community.  As a result of their thorough police investigation, my office was able to secure a conviction without the need for a trial.” 

As are all persons accused of a crime, this defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

New EMS Truck For Davenport FD

The new Davenport EMS truck donated by the late Leo Lomangino. Standing in front of the truck from left to right is Leo’s son Robbert Lomangino and his wife and two sons.

By Mary A. Crisafulli

DAVENPORT - When Leo Lomangino passed away roughly four years ago. In death he organized a trust fund for donations to Davenport institutions including the fire department, food bank, the highway garage, and Hospice.

With the Lomangino fund, the Davenport Fire Department was able to secure a new Emergency Medical Services truck to replace the nearly 20 year old truck. The truck will be used to respond to medical calls, flooding, downed trees, among other emergencies. They received the truck early this year, but were awaiting installation of equipment such as the cab before putting it on the road. Recently the truck was featured in the Davenport Memorial Day Parade. Lomangino’s son Robbert Lomangino and some other family members were able to drive the truck in the parade.

“He (Lomangino) was just a giving man,” said 2nd Assistant Fire Chief and Highway Superintendent Fred Utter. “He cared about people,” Utter continued, “He knew what it was like to have no money and the business that he was in, well he made out well and he wanted to share the wealth.”

Utter explained that Lomangino lived in the Davenport area for many years where he had a horse farm on Layman Road. Being born around Independence Day, Lomangino used to host a fireworks show on the farm open to the public, said Utter. “It wasn’t just for him, it was for everyone,” Utter said. “He was a very very nice guy,” he continued, adding that his survivors are a good family.

The new EMS truck is adorned with the words Donated by Leo Lomngino.

DCHA Day Trips are Back!

Historic 1890 Wickwire Mansion and Skaneateles Lake Cruise 

DELHI — DCHA is pleased to announce the resumption of our popular fundraising bus trips. This year's trip is scheduled for Thursday, July 25th and one of the highlights is our first stop, the Wickwire Mansion, also known as the 1890 House, in Cortland, NY. 

The Wickwire Brothers factory in Cortland was renowned as a wire-weaving business. By the 1870s it was producing products such as barbed wire, window screens, dish strainers and horse muzzles. The company gained such a reputation that their wire was utilized in the building of the Panama Canal. The Wickwires were the largest employers in Cortland in 1910, employing 170 men and 35 women.

The family mansion was completed in 1890 and several generations considered it home. Marion Wickwire was its last resident, dying in 1973 at the age of 85. Marion's love of cherubs is reflected in the cherub-filled chandelier, and cherubs that are seen elsewhere throughout the second floor.

The house itself was designed by architect Samuel B. Reed and the stained glass throughout the house is by Henry F. Belcher. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

After the guided tour of the house, we will lunch on the patio of the Historic Glen Haven Inn and Restaurant overlooking Skaneateles Lake. Lunch will be followed by a short trip along the lake to the village of Skaneateles and a leisurely cruise aboard the Judge Ben Wiles.

  Cost: $150 DCHA members and $175 non-members (price includes transportation, all admissions and lunch plus a donation to DCHA) For further information or reservations please call: (607) 746-3849, or email: dchadelhi@gmail.com Reservations required by July 10th.

Passengers may board the motor coach in Oneonta at 7:00 am and in Delhi at 7:30 am. We estimate our return time to be approximately 6:30 pm to 7:00 pm.

Roxbury/Gilboa and Windham Fall In Softball Sectional Semis

DELAWARE LEAGUE – It was a fantastic run for two Delaware League softball teams, each one winning away from an advance to the sectional title game last Thursday, but it wasn't in the cards.

Seventh-seeded R/G lost to third-seeded Richfield Springs 8-6 in semifinal action last Thursday, while Windham fell to the top seed. 

R/G took an early lead, scoring three runs in the top of the first before RS scored three of its own runs in the top of the fourth to tie it three all. R/G scored three more runs in the top of the fifth to retake the lead, but RS scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth to lead by two and go on for the win.

R/G pitcher Mikayla Wright struck out seven RS batters over her six innings inside the circle. Wright and teammates Ryleigh Goodchild and  Kelly Kallenberg each doubled in the action.

R/G finishes its season at 12-9 overall and tied with Windham and Charlotte Valley, all with 5-1 league records.

Windham fell to the eventual sectional champions Deposit Hancock 16-1 in their semifinal game last Thursday. Deposit-Hancock was the top seed and went on to defeat Richfield Springs for the sectional title on Saturday.

In Thursday's action, Hannah Tuttle struck out six D-H batters over six innings and teammate Ashtyn Hansen connected on a pair of hits in the loss. They scored their lone run in the top of the seventh. D-H scored its runs in the second and third innings to go on for the win.

They finished their season at 9-3 overall and tied with Charlotte Valley and Roxbury Gilboa at 5-1 in the Delaware League.
