Conesville Board Approves $334K Bond For New Plow Truck

CONESVILLE — The Town of Conesville now has the financing in place for its new plow truck.

Town Board members at their Tuesday, Nov. 11 meeting approved a bond resolution for an amount not to exceed $334,025 to pay for the town's new 2025 Western Star Model 49X plow truck and equipment. The bond is to be paid back within six years at annual interest rates of 3.99 percent, Town Supervisor Bill Federice said at the meeting.

In other actions from the Nov 11 meeting, Town Historian Kim Young reported that plans for the celebration of the nation's 250th Birthday on Sept. 19, 2026 are coming along nicely. She said contact has been made with a vintage baseball team and local musicians are scheduled to perform.

Among the many highlights that day will be a 6 p.m. parade and fireworks later that night. The Town Historical Society is the main organizer of the celebration.

"Lots of people are interested in helping," Young said.

"It's good you are planning all this so far in advance, I'm excited," Federice told Young.

Federice's county report — he is also Chairman of the Schoharie County Board of Supervisors _ was rather gloomy as he touched on the board's work on the 2026 county budget that will likely include a rather steep property tax increase. The BOE is currently looking at tax hikes ranging from about 12 to 16 percent, though the actual increase could end up being something different.

The county government is trying to deal with rising costs in just about every area.

"It's really tough, it's brutal," Federice said. "Absolutely gruesome. Sales tax revenue is down. I don't know what we're going to do."

He said gas prices being down right now was one of the factors in the sales tax revenue lagging behind projections, though Federice mentioned that Schoharie is one of only four counties in the state where sales tax revenue is down.

The Conesville Board had adopted the town's 2026 budget during a Nov. 5 public hearing. The $1.3 million budget includes a 2 percent increase in the Town property tax Levy and a 2.3 percent increase in the Fire District property tax Levy. The budget appropriates $99,422 from the Town fund balance, or surplus, to balance revenue and expenses.

County Facing Steep Tax Increase

By Chris English

SCHOHARIE COUNTY — The Schoharie County Board of Supervisors and county administrators are working on a 2026 budget, and none of the property tax increase options look great for taxpayers.

At a Monday morning, Nov. 10 public hearing on the 2026 tentative budget, Supervisor and Finance Committee Chair Alex Luniewski and county Administrator Bryan Best laid out tax hike scenarios for next year ranging from 11.99 percent to 16.42 percent. The amount of the tax increase would depend on how much is drawn from the fund balance, or surplus.

A $6 million draw from the fund balance would result in an 11.99 percent tax increase, $5.5 million in a 14.2 percent hike and a $5 million draw in a 16.42 percent increase. None of those options were decided on at the Nov. 10 meeting and the BOE might come up with some other scenario between now and the time it votes to adopt a budget, which could happen at the Nov. 21 regular meeting or possibly later.

In a brief conversation after the Nov. 10 hearing, Luniewski said the tax increase that was eventually approved would likely be one of the highest he can remember in his 10 years as a Supervisor. County taxpayers are facing such a hefty increase because of increasing costs in just about every area, including a projected $1.7 million increase for employee health insurance in 2026.

At the Oct. 17 BOE meeting, Best said the current unassigned fund balance stands at about $24 million, and he believed the assigned fund balance was around another $10 million for a total of $34 million. Projected expenditures in the 2026 tentative budget currently stand at $104.96 million, but that number could change before a budget is adopted.

The BOE approved three motions at the Nov. 10 meeting. One puts in place a hiring freeze for the remainder of this year with the exceptions of a new Department of Public Works Commissioner, corrections officers, mental health department staffers, and EMTs and paramedics.

Another approved motion authorizes drawing a total of $662,881 from six different reserve accounts to somewhat offset the tax increase. The third approved motion places sales tax revenue at a little more than $23 million in the 2026 budget. The figure for this year was a little more than $24 million, but Luniewski said sales tax revenue for this year is currently running about $700,000 short of that projection.

There was a motion put forth at the Nov. 10 meeting to save an estimated $118,000 to $139,000 on retiree health insurance by increasing retiree premium contributions from the current zero to 5 or 10 percent. The motion was tabled because there are questions and details of the proposal that need to be worked out.

Supervisor Donald Airey pressed the case for using a $1.6 million reimbursement from a long-running county streambank restoration project to lessen the tax increase. However, there seem to be complications involved with that idea, and county officials will see if they can be worked out.

DOT Donation Puts BOCES Students in the Fast Lane to Increased Electrical Knowledge

SCHOHARIE – This donation won’t put a “stop” to the learning at the Career and Technical Education Center – Schoharie Campus, but perhaps it will encourage a “get up and go” attitude among the Electrical Trades students. 

All signals are pointing to a new type of electrical knowledge for the students in Curtis Van Steele’s program thanks to a donation from the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT).

DOT recently donated a surplus four-face traffic signal complete with a programmable logic controller (PLC) to the program.

Van Steele said that in addition to the signal, DOT also donated pedestrian and traffic sensors that activate the light. 

“The big thing with this is the PLC board and the ability it gives the students to work with the wiring and getting the connections to the sensors right and setting the various intervals for the lights to activate on,” said Van Steele.

During a recent class, seniors Jordan Barham, from Schoharie; Cody Coop, from Schalmont; and Bryce Mensing, from Duanesburg, were wiring the light.

“I think it’s great. It’s a new skill set we get to learn,” said Braham, who aspires to a career as a lineman.

There are 99 students enrolled this school year in the Electrical Trades program that is offered on the Schoharie and Albany Career and Technical Education campuses. Students in the two-year program learn fundamental skills in electrical theory through classroom instruction and hands-on work. They also learn basic electrical skills and cutting-edge, 21st-century green technologies—all of which prepares them for the in-demand field of electrical trades.

For more information on the program, visit https://www.capitalregionboces.org/career-technical-education/courses-programs/electrical-trades/.

Village of Esperance Has a New Trustee and Deputy Clerk/Treasurer - Seeking Planning Board & ZBA Members, F.D. Auxiliary Volunteers

By Heather Skinner

ESPERANCE- On the evening of November 10th, the regular monthly Esperance Village meeting was held. Mayor Royce Gage, Clerk/Treasurer Michelle Parks, and Trustee Paul Roberts (who had just been up for re-appointment in the November 4th election), welcomed new Trustee, Rachel Jeffers. Dan DeFilipps resigned on October 21st, and Jeffers was Mayor-appointed on October 30th to finish out the term. Also recently sworn in was new Deputy Clerk/Treasurer, Leslie Price, as of November 6th.

No Esperance Fire Department representatives were present at the meeting due to the about 6 and a half hours spent that day fighting a multi-dwelling structure fire at 115 Main Street. A total of about 45 fire personnel from Fire Districts in Esperance, Central Bridge, Carlisle, Cobleskill, Sharon Springs, Rural Grove, Canajoharie, Schoharie, Middleburgh, Delanson and Quaker Street worked together and established a large tanker operation because there are no fire hydrants within the Village. Ambulances from Esperance, Scho-wright, and the County were on stand-by and food and warm beverages were supplied to firefighters from auxiliary members, Stewart’s shop, and community volunteers.

So, Parks & Gage delivered Fire Department and Playground Committee updates usually supplied by Fire Chief, Matthew Deffer. Deffer asked them to report that Halloween went great; kids had a lot of fun coloring and participating in activities. The Fire Department served hamburgers and hot dogs and offered lots of fun giveaways. 

A follow-up to the Esperance Fire Department Pancake Breakfast on November 9th; every second Sunday of the month Breakfasts will continue at 115 Church Street from 7 AM - 11 AM. Breakfasts are by donation, cash & Venmo accepted, and Gage believes these breakfasts will run until March or April.

The Fire Department and Esperance-Sloansville United Methodist Church would like to invite you to walk, sip, and give during their Esperance Community Turkey Stroll on November 16th from 1 PM - 3 PM. This event will help with food pantry donation collection and fundraising to provide turkeys in Thanksgiving meal baskets for local families. Donations they are especially in need of include, “Shelf-stable mixes, juice, coffee, laundry detergent, & other non-perishable goods.” They will also be accepting monetary donations and pantry items, “(No peas or beans, please!)” During the event you will be able to, “Enjoy: Coffee, cocoa, & cookie decorating; Take part in: A short, fun stroll with a “real” turkey!” And, “Support: Our neighbors in need this Thanksgiving.”

Price’s first focus as Deputy Clerk/Treasurer will be to work on obtaining a grant for getting updated playground equipment.

Parks gave a shoutout of appreciation for Michael Jacobson & Deffer, who continue, “Doing an excellent job keeping the Village looking great.” This month, that was in regard to mowing.

During communications, Verelyn Robertson read a report for the Beautification Committee. The committee wants to thank Boice Smith, who Robertson said doesn’t get enough thank-yous, “For removing and disposing of Barrel #5 in front of Justin Miller’s property on Main Street. The barrel was broken and somebody was dumping their trash all around it and in it.” The numbered barrels recently held flowers that the Girl Scouts helped fill, and the committee got approval to decorate the barrels on Main Street with pine boughs, red bows, and solar lights.

Jeffers updated on behalf of the Esperance Historical Museum/Society with a reminder of all the fun to be had on December 6th when you visit 123 Church Street for Christmas in Esperance 2025. Head to the Museum at 10 AM for the magic of an old-fashioned Christmas filled with decorated trees, homemade cookies & hot cocoa, the North Pole mailbox to drop your letters to Santa, and more!  In preparation, you can stop by the park on Church Street to grab a free ornament from the red mailbox to take home, decorate, and bring back to the Museum during the December 6th event to hang on their tree.

Another added bonus will be enjoying the new heating & air conditioning unit that Gage confirmed has been installed in the Museum’s library. 

Just in time for 5-minute privilege of the floor, Justin C. Miller arrived at the meeting and introduced himself as, “Born and raised in Esperance, my grandfather is from Esperance; a lot of you know me.” He also included that his father was previously the mayor, he likes to keep a read on things, and he noticed that zoning seemed to change in the Village that directly affected his property. He also voiced a concern about where Village taxes are sometimes applied and wondered, “How us members of the Village benefit from those taxes. I know a lot of the money goes to the Fire Department.” 

Parks offered to print a budget to show him and started to explain where on the sheet of last month’s minutes vouchers are detailed. Miller cut off Park’s sentence to say, “I don’t want to get wrapped up in any of that.” Then he said he wanted to reintroduce himself, which he started by saying, “Literally, probably 10 minutes ago I jumped in the shower and got dressed and came out here because I wasn’t sure when the meeting was. But, I want to get more actively involved, I’m thinking about running for mayor next year.” 

Parks gave Miller a chance to explain what his zoning concern is, but he instead seemed to stay on the conversation of running for mayor, sharing a concern of not wanting to be misunderstood and promised he has good intentions. He didn’t have anything to add to that and the meeting adjourned.

The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) are both still looking for members, and the Fire Department is in need of Auxiliary Volunteers. Gage said to get in touch with (Esperance Fire Chief) Deffer if you are interested in helping with auxiliary. On the Schoharie County ny.gov site, Deffer’s email shows as chief7011@gmail.com. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, you can also attend monthly Esperance Village meetings to let them know, which happen every 2nd Monday of the month at 7 PM in the Village Meeting Hall at 115 Church Street. Next month that meeting date will fall on December 8th. Esperance Town Board meetings take place every 3rd Thursday of the month in Esperance Town Hall at 104 Charleston Street, also with a 7 PM start time; this month’s will be on November 20th.

Monday as I drove to Grand Gorge Tire the snow started to fall. The wind was blowing, while the temperature was 31 degrees. Arriving at the tire place I signed up on the very long list of those wanting to get tires as well. Amy told me it would be a while. I decided to go to Diane’s and then call Amy at 1:00pm to see when I could come up. Diane and I started a puzzle and just had some great conversations. At 1:00pm I drove back up to the tire place and with four more waiting ahead of me I stayed until they did my car. Driving away with my new all-weather tires I felt a lot safer on the snowy roads. At 6:00pm I headed down to the town hall for our Public Budget Hearing and monthly meeting.  Our town highway crew were out sanding and salting the roads.  It was snowing pretty good as we all left for home. This Tuesday morning the ground is totally white. I understand from co-correspondent Ginny Gurley that the bake sale for the veterans at Jim’s Great American was a success. Congratulations to all our military who are serving to keep our country safe and those who served and did the same. 

Friday, I had a nice visit with my neighbor Allison. Her hubby has been under the weather. I was glad to hear he is now starting to feel back to normal. While we sat at the dining room table I kept a close watch on the lake. Suddenly, I said to Alison there is the Eagle. She jumped out of the chair as I handed her the binoculars. She then could see him close up. I kept looking above where he sat on a dead tree branch and then I spotted two more adult eagles sitting on dead tree limbs high up off the ground. We watched them for quite some time. Their heads bobbed back and forth with their Eagle eyes on the lake looking at what we knew was soon to be a meal. Alison left just before it got dark keeping her eyes focused until the lake was out of sight. 

Pastor Paul had an impact message last Sunday morning at Flat Creek Baptist Church. We sure learned a lot while keeping our Bibles open.  Fellowship followed the service with coffee and desserts. Then we packed about forty Christmas shoe boxes for needy children in foreign countries. We have watched a video of those children receiving their shoe boxes filled with hats, socks, toothbrushes, crayons, coloring books, combs and so much more. They are all marked with being a boy or girl and age level.  When the leader of the children gives the signal they open them at once and oh my! The look on those precious faces is something to behold. Many thanks to those who donated to this special spiritual heartwarming cause.

I was pleased to hear that my friend Barbara’s husband Manfred is doing well with his rehab. We wish him the best for a full recovery.

There is a little contest going on here in Gilboa between our Town Clerk Linda and our Town Highway Superintendent John Wyckoff. This is regarding the Toys for Tota sponsored by the Marine Corps. Before picking up by Staff Sergeant Ted Kleniewskki or his fellow Marines, the toys will be counted and whoever has the least amount in their box has to furnish a delicious cookie platter! Toys can be brought to the Town Hall or Highway Building during working hours. Max Stryker will also take toys for tots at the highway department on recyclable days Wednesday and Saturday from 8am to 12 noon. Toys need to be new and not wrapped. I hope lots of you join in and pick the box you want to put your toys in. Then perhaps sometime after Dec. 9, when they are picked up you too will enjoy stopping by for some cookies in one of these two places. I put mine in both boxes! Let’s get these boxes full to the brim.
