Chairman Stands Behind Removal of Voting Drop Boxes

Staff Report

SCHOHARIE - Schoharie County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Federice has issued a statement standing behind the Board of Elections removing a voting drop box in front of the county building in Schoharie.

Mr. Federice, who is also the Conesville supervisor, called the issue "made up" and supported the action.

"This bi-partisan decision was made by members of the Board of Elections after consulting with the State Board of Elections who confirmed there is no legal requirement to maintain a drop box for absentee ballots," Mr. Federice said.

"The intent was to ensure election integrity considering the box was not bolted down or fixed to the building and there is no camera focused there leaving it subject to theft and/or vandalism."

Mr. Federice said that someone complained to a Capital District newspaper about the removal. The newspaper did a story on the removal "inferring this was a partisan effort and never mentioned the fact this was a bi-partisan decision which I emphasized several times speaking to the reporter who wrote the piece." Mr. Federice said he also told the reporter "Voters still have the option of bringing their ballots to the Board of Elections during business hours, they can vote early for nine days, they can mail in their ballots, and of course, they can vote on election day. There are ample opportunities for people to cast their vote."

Mr. Federice reiterated his support of the Board of Elections.

"I feel the members of the Board of Elections are to be commended in light of the attacks on remote drop boxes" in other parts of the country, he added.

Family Engagement Group Started at SCS

By David Avitabile

SCHOHARIE - A new family engagement committee has been convened to help district officials review and update district policies and procedures.

The SCS school board, of course, has the final say on all board and district policies, but the committee, made up of parents and some staff members, has been meeting and will be making recommendations to the school board, Matthew Wright, SCS director of curriculum and pupil personnel services told board members earlier this month.

The first meeting was an overview, Mr. Wright said. The formation has been discussed for more than five years.

There was good feedback at the initial and a number of topics were discussed including why does a coach have to have four ways to contact students.

The feedback will be recorded on both short and long-term subjects. Potential changes to policies and practices will be further discussed before they are brought back to the board, Mr. Wright said. He is not sure whether the committee will get to the point where policy changes will be made but they will be talked about.

Mr. Wright was very pleased with the first meeting. "So far so good," he told board members.

It was a very productive meeting and the members will come back with more recommendations for the next meeting.

Another issue brought up was homecoming and how to get alumni and seniors involved.

He noted that there have been many changes in the district since the pandemic and other ways are needed to reach parents, such as Facebook.

Another issue discussed by the committee was building tools for families.

Haunted Hike Brings Big Crowd

By Ian Koontz

BLENHEIM — This past week on October 25th at 5:30pm, Minekill State Park had its first-ever haunted hike event on the park's winding trails. The event was held in the mid-level-overlook pavilion, which was decorated for the Halloween season and stocked with desserts to welcome visitors. Guests signed in to the free event, and from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm could walk the trail without the fear of scarers, which would be present at 6:30 pm when night fell. After the family-friendly hour of hiking was over, the haunted hike began, and was alleged to be so scary that it was not suitable for children under 10!

The haunted hike was a twenty-minute walk through a heavily decorated and creepy trail in the dark of night. Volunteer scarers from Minekill State Park and beyond were the dark denizens who leapt out to frighten visitors. These scarers were in costume, dressed as Jason Vorhees, a killer surgeon, a screaming nurse, a wolfman, and an ogre. The hike certainly had fright in it, and there were even some brave children who marched in with their parents.

Light rain fell as the event came to a close around 8:00 pm. The last family returned from the final haunted hike around 8:30 pm. The mid-level parking lot, which had been filled to its 80 car capacity, emptied as visitors left.

For a first-time event, Minekill State Park's haunted hike was a smash hit with over 250 signing into the event in person. “For our first year, I am pleasantly surprised by the turnout we had, which was over 250 persons,” said Katrina Vance, the Park Supervisor at Minekill State Park. Because of the overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding the haunted hike, Minekill has decided that the event will occur again next year, taking all the feedback received to improve what was already great. With this news in mind, the haunted hike may become a new yearly Minekill State Park tradition. With how popular the event was there's no surprise that people will want to return next year for another night of spooks and frights.

Busy November Planned at Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association

By Jennifer Patterson

SCHOHARIE — After wrapping up two fundraisers in late September – the annual Model Train Show and the 48th annual Fall Antiques in Schoharie – there’s more in store at Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association.

At 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, the Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum will host local author Dana Cudmore, who will discuss his new book, “The Cave Electrician’s Widow: The Tragedy at Howe Caverns & Dramatic Courtroom Fight for Justice,” in the Creamery Building at 143 Depot Lane in Schoharie.

The presentation is free, but donations will be accepted. Refreshments will also be served.

“We’re looking forward to hosting this presentation by Dana Cudmore, who has published a few books on caverns and caves in Schoharie County,” said Thom Fries, director of the Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum, which is part of the nonprofit Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association. “We hope people take this opportunity to come and hear about the disaster in the caverns.”

As a college-age tour guide at Howe Caverns during the 1970s, Cudmore was often asked the question – did anybody die down there? Unknown to many, the answer is yes.

Cudmore’s new book chronicles the April 1930 tragedy at Howe Caverns and legal battle that sought to hold those believed accountable. Part David vs. Goliath, and part mystery, courtroom drama and travelogue through the underground realm of the caverns, the book reveals a little-known episode from the famous tourist destination’s past.

A 1972 graduate of Schoharie High School, Cudmore has written four books on the caves and limestone quarries of New York’s “cave country.”

Cudmore’s professional career included stints as a reporter, news and book editor, public relations director at SUNY Cobleskill, and head of his own communications agency. A resident of Cobleskill, he retired in 2020 after a dozen years as an external affairs officer for FEMA.

In addition to Cudmore’s presentation, the Fill the Bakery Cupboard Committee has issued a call for baked goods for the upcoming 47th annual Holiday Craft Bazaar, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22-24, at 143 Depot Lane in Schoharie.

Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association is seeking donations of sweet and savory delights from local bakers, which can be dropped off between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21, or on Friday, Nov. 22.

The nonprofit association uses the funds it raises at the Holiday Craft Bazaar to operate the Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum, the 1743 Palatine House Museum (Schoharie County’s oldest building), and the Children’s Summer Theater Program.

Some of that money comes from selling donated homemade desserts. Volunteers (many of whom have been soliciting baked goods for decades) have been hitting the phones to get the word out that the SCHA Bakery Cupboard is in need of donations.

“Holiday Craft Bazaar shoppers look forward to our made-from-scratch menu, especially topping their choices off with a wee bit of something sweet,” the Fill the Bakery Cupboard Committee said in an email. “We love showcasing our local bakers’ talents and welcome your donated, mouthwatering cookies, brownies, pies and cakes for our upcoming event.”

The committee also reached out to local businesses like The Carrot Barn, 518-295-7139, and Apple Barrel, 518-295-7179 (Apple Barrel orders must be placed by Saturday, Nov. 2) who said they would have pies available for purchase, which can then be donated to Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association.

To donate your homemade bakery item or local pie order, email sadbramer@gmail.com, donnabbott2008@yahoo.com or bsharpe2@nycap.rr.com.

For information about the presentation, contact Fries at 518-569-3395, or go to https://www.schoharieheritage.org.

Songs of Appalachia Music performance at Schoharie Crossing

FORT HUNTER – Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site will host the ever-talented Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle as they perform Songs of Appalachia on Sunday, November 3rd at 1:00PM inside the Enders House on Schoharie Street in Fort Hunter. This hour-long program includes ten historic songs with an interesting narrative woven throughout.

The Appalachian Mountains stretch from Georgia to Maine and were considered the new frontier when settled by the Scots-Irish and Germans in the early days of America. These groups sought freedom from government and prejudice, as well as cheaper land. Their history is both charming and dark as they struggled to survive and bring their culture with them, especially their music!

Gibson and Staudle have researched the history of that region as well as the music. They are award winning songwriters and singers that live near the Adirondacks in upstate New York. As a duo, they have been performing for nearly twenty years, and tour both regionally as well as nationally. Together they play originals and fan favorites with a variety of instruments such as guitar, fiddle, banjo, and harmonica. They can be heard in many settings such as festivals, concert series, livestreams, on the radio and at community events.

Program begins at 1pm, there will be light refreshments after the performance. This performance is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Schoharie Crossing via email SchoharieCrossing@parks.ny.gov or call (518) 829-7516.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation oversees more than 250 parks, historic sites, recreational trails, golf courses, boat launches and more, which saw a record 79.5 million visits in 2022.

“Co-Creations on the Farm with Lady Cannabis” Workshop & Exhibition at Bushel

DELHI — Bushel is pleased to present “Co-Creations on the Farm with Lady Cannabis,” a workshop and exhibition on Saturday, November 9. The workshop takes place 5–7 pm, followed by the exhibition opening reception, 7–9 pm. Bushel is located at 106 Main Street, Delhi.

This exhibition and accompanying workshop are presented by Plant Pioneers, a project of Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower and collaborators, and highlights the group’s work with the vegetal landscape in the upstate New York farming community of Delaware County, where they explore the co-creative process between Plant and Farmer.

In their project, Plant Pioneers strive to look beyond the human-centered farming value system towards one that is mutual, emerging, evolving, and co-creative. Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower explains, “We inquire with the vegetals themselves. Would they, Plants, have preferences? Do they, Plants, already orchestrate farming activities? If so, how? Do they have impressions that offer guidance to farmer, gardener, Plant nursery person, arborists or even township road crews?” Using this approach, Plant Pioneers hope to create new Plant-Farmer partnerships in ways that are inter-relational, cyclical, and inter-regenerative.

Exhibition works include photographs and a video documenting the week-to-week process of communing with Lady Cannabis on the farm through capturing hydro-glyphs, plant acoustics, and written recordings, as well as drawings by Plant Pioneers members. Live plants will populate the space and at various times can be listened to through a Music of the Plants sonic device.

Directly preceding the opening reception (7–9 pm) for the exhibition, Plant Pioneers will lead a workshop (5–7 pm) guiding participants in Plant relation techniques. Participants will be introduced to key practices that wake up our innate intelligence to connect and communicate with Nature on deeper levels. The workshop is free with advance registration; however donations of $10 to $25 are very welcome. To register, please email Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower at 3moonsisters@gmail.com.
