New Golding Mural Unveiled

By Joshua Walther

COBLESKILL - On Monday evening, the CRCS Board of Education met during their regular meeting to discuss Golding’s brand-new mural installed in the library hallway.

The mural, titled “The Clay That We Are Made Of,” features heavy Native American influence and draws its name from how the school is situated on historical Mohawk territory and finding connection through the people that one surrounds themself with.

The piece was created by Jay Havens, a Haudenosaunee artist that calls Toronto his home. CRCS first connected with him through the county’s Iroquois museum, and after accepting funding from Nicholas Juried, work began to create the mural and educate students on its significance.

Once the art was finished by Mr. Havens in Canada, the mural was then printed onto a vinyl that was shipped to Golding, where the faculty installed it in the place of their old artwork.

Stretching along the wall opposite of the library, the mural includes Mohawk pottery designs in the Woodland School of Art style, and features a Hiawatha belt and two row wampum, smoke dancers, butterfly shawl dancers, Haudenosaunee Olympians and poets, and both traditional and contemporary Native American dress.

Additionally, Golding’s art classes all contributed their own butterfly designs that Mr. Havens incorporated into the mural, and every social studies class learned about Haudenosaunee history and the Woodland School of Art last spring.

Every Board member was in full support of the new addition to the school, with Board President Bruce Tryon saying “That is absolutely spectacular. I commend the work that was done on that.”

In other news, Superintendent Sickles shared the district’s upcoming budget calendar highlights, with their first talks beginning in February of next year.

He noted that just like previous budget cycles, the first Citizens’ Budget Committee meeting will be held on February 2nd, and their first draft budget will be presented to the Board on February 10th.

These steps will be repeated twice more throughout February and March, with a potential special meeting in April in case the state releases information that changes the district’s priorities, and the final vote for adoption will be in May.

Board member Aimee Yorke encouraged the others to recommend any changes to the budget cycle, and she cited both Max Horning and Jason Gagnon as wishing that important talks around staffing should have happened sooner than they did last year.

President Tryon voiced his thoughts, believing that the process shouldn’t happen earlier, but they simply ran out of available dates to discuss big changes between drafts.

Superintendent Matthew Sickles affirmed his sentiment, and further noted that the Board is able to make changes to the schedule if it’s agreed. However, with no recommendations being brought forth, a motion was passed to accept the budget calendar as it was presented.

Cobleskill DAR Names 2025 Good Citizens

Dylan Gallagher

 

Yasmin Issay

Submitted by Sue deBruijn

SCHOHARIE COUNTY – Two Schoharie County high school seniors, Dylan Gallagher of Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School and Yasmin Issa of Sharon Springs Central School, have been chosen as DAR Good Citizens by their teachers and classmates.  This contest is sponsored each year by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and locally by the Captain Christian Brown Chapter of Cobleskill.

The students were judged on leadership, dependability, service and patriotism, as well as contributions to others in their homes, schools, churches and communities.  

Dylan is the son of Tim and Jessica Gallager of Cobleskill.  Dylan has actively participated in many academic clubs, including National Honor Society, SkillsUSA and Future Farmers of America, while being team captain of varsity football, and a team member of varsity wrestling and track and field.  He was the recipient of the Scholar Athlete Award for maintaining a 90 or above GPA while participating in sports.

Dylan has enjoyed serving his community by volunteering as a youth mentor for the “Little Dawgs” football teams, grades 3 – 6, fostering teamwork, sportsmanship and confidence in the next generation of athletes.  He has also been an active participant in Schoharie County’s agricultural community as a fourth-generation farmer, strengthening local agricultural relationships and sustainability.  His future plans are to pursue a career in the heavy equipment operational industry while working to expand and grow his family’s farm.

Yasmin is the daughter of Tareq and Sofia Issa of Sharon Springs.  Yasmin has been an active member in several academic and leadership organizations, including Future Business Leaders of America, Student Council, SAAD, Elevating Student Voices, Youth as Leaders and has served as team captain of the girls varsity soccer team.  

Yasmin has volunteered in several capacities within her community, such as the Sharon Springs Summer Recreation Program.  She designed and led a youth soccer workshop series that taught young athletes the fundamentals of teamwork and sportsmanship.  Yasmin’s future plans are to attend college to become a licensed pharmacist and use those skills to serve her community through immunizations, personal counseling and medication management.

Along with being selected as the Good Citizens for each of their schools, both students entered the DAR Scholarship Essay contest, “Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It.”  Judged independently, Yasmin’s essay earned first place with an award of $300 and Dylan’s essay earned second place with an award of $200.  

The students and their families will be guests of honor at a luncheon provided by the Captain Christian Brown Chapter NSDAR at noon on Saturday, December 6, at the Cobleskill United Methodist Church.  The guest speaker will be Max Horning, Sharon Springs Music Teacher and Cobleskill-Richmondville School Board member, presenting a talk titled "...but you can choose where you live."

Guest speaker, Dr. Meredith Madden speaks on cultural inclusivity in the classroom for all attendees

COBLESKILL — On November 10, Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District proudly hosted the 2025 Regional Conference Day, welcoming more than 350 educators, including staff from Cobleskill-Richmondville, Duanesburg, Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Sharon Springs, and Schoharie school districts. 

Held across Golding Middle School and Ryder Elementary, the professional development day united teachers and administrators under the theme, “Supporting All Students.” 

Throughout the day, educators engaged in workshops and presentations designed to inspire, connect, and empower teaching professionals. Sessions featured distinguished speakers Karen Swain, Ali Hearn, Dr. Laura McDaniel, and Dr. Meredith Madden. 

The conference kicked off with a focus on the New York State Education Department’s Portrait of a Graduate, which defines the essential knowledge, skills, and attributes students should demonstrate before graduation. Featured presenters highlighted systems of support, restorative practices, high quality literacy instruction, and cultural competency as key pathways for promoting student success. 

“The Regional Conference Day was a great opportunity to bring our local educators together to learn, collaborate, and grow,” said C-R Superintendent, Matthew Sickles. “The collaboration across districts reminds us that we’re all working toward the same goal—helping every student succeed. Together, the five districts were able to access outstanding speakers and expertise that we could not have provided on our own.” 

The event served as both a professional development opportunity and a celebration of collaboration among neighboring districts. By sharing ideas and best practices, educators reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening education across Schoharie County and beyond. 

Cobleskill-Richmondville extends its gratitude to all guest speakers, district partners, and staff members who made this event a success, and looks forward to future collaboration.

“Mighty Men of Sharon” Now Available

SHARON SPRINGS — Twelve brave men from Sharon are showing off their personalities in a calendar for a good cause. The Sharon Historical Society has published the “Mighty Men of Sharon” 2026 calendar as a fundraising project and it is selling like hotcakes!

The ‘dad bod’ is becoming a more popular kind of body shape, with reports suggesting a bit of cushioning is more attractive to women than chiseled abs. We wanted to shake up tradition, and what better way to do that than to celebrate dads and their bods with a charity calendar? Think Sports Illustrated, swimsuit edition, but with a bunch of “mature men”.

“We had a lot of fun making this calendar”, said Historical Society President Ron Ketelsen. “At first, we weren’t sure if we could find 12 men to volunteer. Now, we have men already volunteering to be in the 2027 calendar! The photos make for a good laugh, but they are for a good cause, too. All the money raised goes towards the New Museum Building Fund.”

The “Mighty Men of Sharon” calendars are on sale for $12 each at NBT Bank and at the Fancy Farmer Restaurant in Sharon Springs. Thanks to the men who posed for the fun calendar. This will make a great Christmas gift for that hard-to-buy-for person on your Christmas list! But hurry! Quantities are limited, and when they are gone, they are gone.

Real Training on Simulated Equipment for Students

Dylan Jones

SCHOHARIE– Capital Region BOCES Heavy Equipment Repair and Operation [HERO] senior Dylan Jones uses a heavy equipment simulator recently at the Career and Technical Education Center - Schoharie Campus.

Thanks to a National Grid Workforce Development Grant, Capital Region BOCES took delivery in 2022 of four new heavy equipment operator simulators that will are used to train students on how to operate backhoes, bulldozers, graders, excavators and dump trucks.

BOCES acquired two more of the simulators this year for the new HERO program at the Career and Technical Education Extension Center in Albany.

Students interchange using simulators and operating real equipment based on their schedules and the lesson plans for the day.

Jones, who attends BOCES from Sharon Springs, said the simulators are beneficial to him and his classmates.

“The simulators give me more stick time [practicing operations] and allows me to practice my operator skills,” he said.

An aspiring equipment operator, Jones credits BOCES with “teaching me important skills and allowing me to not have to sit at a desk all day.”

Teacher Matt Millard said the simulators are routinely used in the Heavy Equipment Repair and Operation program in which students prepare for careers in the heavy equipment and construction industry.

There are approximately 70 students enrolled in the program on the two campuses.

“Sharon Things - Local Happenings for Sharon Springs”

Hey Neighbors!

So far, November has seen significant solar activity, with a severe "cannibal" solar storm hitting Earth on November 12, causing disruptions to radio communications, GPS accuracy, and impacting power grids and satellites. This storm was triggered by an X5.1-class solar flare that erupted from the sun on November 11, followed by the fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME).

St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church Celebrates The installation of two ikons and announces evensong Saturday November 22, 2025 4 pm

COBLESKILL — Fr. Paul Hunter, Rector of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Cobleskill, announced that there will be an Evensong Program on Saturday November 22, at 4 pm at St. Christopher’s on St. Christopher’s Place, Cobleskill.

Evensong is an ancient service of Prayers and Song to mark the end of the day. Some of the most beautiful sacred music has been composed for this service. Come and Sing with us. Evensong is for anyone who loves to sing or hear great music. Regardless of your religious affiliation or level of musical skill. Guest Organist, Dr. Brian Taylor, Director of Music at St George Episcopal Church in the Stockade District of Schenectady will be the organist. Join us at 4pm. The service will be followed by a light meal. There is no charge for this event.

St. Christopher’s recently installed and blessed a set on Ikons of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus and one of Jesus at their regular church service. In Eastern Orthodox Christianity,  Ikons are a representation (as in a mural, a mosaic, or a painting on wood) of sacred events or especially of a sacred individual (such as Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, or a saint) used as an object of veneration or a tool for instruction. The Ikons were donated by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Mark S. Sisk (Retired Bishop of the Diocese of New York) and his wife Karen to St. Christopher’s Church, where they are members. They reside in Jefferson.

Around the Neighborhood - Summit

Crazy as this sounds I used the leaf blower to blow the inch or so of fluffy snow and a few leaves off the porch and car last week; Too Funny. Later on I stationed the snow shovel (probably until April) on the porch for the wet snow to-be. The chickens stayed in their coop most of the 28 degree windy snowy day; not a very hardy bunch.

Last Saturday night it was pouring rain at 35 degrees plus the added attraction of thunder and lightning.

I follow the Central Bridge Farm Swap on Facebook and have gotten chickens there a couple of times. There are frequent posts for people trying to get rid of roosters, usually for free, because they have too many for the size of their flock. I feel sorry for the roosters sometimes but do not want anymore than the one I have. I believe the swaps are over soon with winter coming.

Watched granddaughter and 18 other girls play a game of basketball (sort of), at CRCS Ryder school, in the 1st & 2nd grade youth league.

Two of our youngest chickens watched over 20 turkeys go through our yard. I wonder what they think of each other. I have never seen that many turkeys come through at one time before.

Happy Birthday in November to Georgianna VanValkenburgh, of Charlotteville, and in December Bing Cummings, of Warnerville.

I hope deer hunters were successful over the weekend. I did not hear any gun shots nearby.

The Charlotteville Fire Department served 95 pork and ham dinners last Friday and served 124 people at breakfast Sunday. The Scratch off ticket raffle winner was Lori Fyfe of Charlotteville.
