SidNey – when 10-year Sidney resident and dcMO BOceS special education in-structor Holly Sloan, 35, isn’t in the classroom, she’s train-ing for a triathlon a world away.

this September, Sloan will swim, bike and run her way across Nelson Man-dela Bay, South africa in the 70.3-mile ironman world championship.

though Sloan qualified for the invite-only world champi-onship last September at a race in atlantic city, she said, this is something she’s spent most of her life working toward.

UNadiLLa – this week-end, cheryl Loucks will bring 20-plus years of experience as a licensed nail technician to Unadilla during the grand opening of polish Me pretty. the new nail salon is located in Suite d of willow Bend plaza at 1007 state route 7.

Loucks, who has pursued her polishing passion around the country as a frequently moving U.S. Navy wife, said she’s excited to be in the village.

“this is a new community for me,” she said. “i’m from

Brooklyn and moved upstate when i was 15, but i got mar-ried in 1986 and moved away into military life. i came back in 2004 to delaware county and … now i live in Unadilla and i’m loving my new nail salon.”

polish Me pretty offers manicures, pedicures, full sets, fills and more.

One online reviewer wrote: “i absolutely love cheryl! She’s good at what she does and she’s easy to talk to.”

Loucks, who earned her technician’s license after rais-ing five children, said doing nails is something she’s loved

for decades. “i always enjoyed doing

nails and i’d always done my own nails,” she said, “so i de-cided to do it for a living. i started in georgia and moved around (because) of military life.”

She added, “i decided when my kids were in school, i would go to school for nails.”

polish Me pretty is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., tues-day through friday, and 10 to 4 on Saturday.

for more information or to set up an appointment, call Loucks at 422-4965.

OtegO – kids and fami-lies in Otego can enjoy a story while they stroll, thanks to the efforts of Harris Memo-rial Library director anne Ohman, Mayor ernest kroll and grant funding facilitated by Maureen Blanchard with creating Healthy Schools and communities.

the village is home to the area’s first Storywalk, a pro-gram conceptualized by a Vermont librarian in 2007.

Storywalk, Ohman said, is “an enjoyable way for chil-dren and adults to read a book together while taking a walk outdoors.”

Blanchard said Storywalk satisfies creating Healthy Schools and communities’ mission of promoting healthy activity among families while making communities more pedestrian friendly.

“I have two initiatives that fit in under Storywalk: one is working with communities to adapt ‘complete Street’ policies and implement them to make communities more walkable,” Blanchard ex-plained. “and i’m working with local businesses and community-based organiza-tions to adopt healthy food guidelines and activities, so i worked with the village and

the Otego library … on the idea of a Storywalk. anne and the mayor both loved it and have been re-ally involved.”

“The idea is, how do we get people moving to pre-vent chronic disease and take

Realtime Dixieland Band to Play Trailside Concert Series

fraNkLiN - “a walk in the woods,” Lee Blessing’s tony-nominated drama, will be presented by franklin Stage company through July 29 in their historic home cha-pel Hall.

the play is based on true events that occurred in ge-neva in 1982. paul H. Nitze, an american Nuclear weap-ons non-proliferation treaty negotiator, and his Soviet counterpart, yuli a. kvitsin-sky, left the table in frustra-tion over their failures at the official summit for an unoffi-cial walk in the woods. in this less pressurized setting, they reportedly returned with an agreement, but their respec-tive governments eventually

had the last word. a political chess match,

full of tension and surpris-ing humor, fSc co-artistic directors patricia Buckley and Leslie Noble chose the play “because [they] wanted a meaty work of ideas that would invite contemplation and conversation.” though it was written about an event that occurred over 30 years ago, the two were struck by the plays relevance. “Just as intriguing as the geopolitics is a portrait of two people with fundamentally opposing views, who choose to see each other as human beings,” said Noble.

directed by long-time fSc associate kirk Jackson, the

show features robert Zuker-man as the russian and fSc co-artistic director Leslie Noble as the american.

Originally written for two men, Blessing adapted his text so a woman could play the american for a version first presented by Northern Stage in Vermont. “with more and more women entering poli-tics,” said Buckley, “we decid-ed to cast a woman to reflect that trend.”

director kirk Jackson not-ed, “Blessing wrote the play based on the original one-time only ‘walk in the woods’ outside geneva. to get inside the negotiating process, he ex-tended the event to span the seasons, effectively turning it

into a metaphor for question-ing the value of human con-nection. what is the best way to bridge fundamental differ-ences? is friendship the goal or a step along the way? is that step necessary?”

Showtimes are thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., with a 3 p.m. matinee on Sat-urday, and Sunday at 5 p.m. admission is free, but dona-tions are gratefully accepted. Seating is limited and reser-vations are strongly recom-mended. to reserve and for more information, visit frank-linstagecompany.org or call 829-3700.

SIDNEY25 YEARS AGO

July 14, 1993though the Sidney School

Board decided on July 6 not to take action on the sixth-grade reading petition, specific re-quests were made warranting further action.

the board stated unani-mously that it was not to act on the petition itself, but said further dialogue between ad-ministration and staff, as well as clarification if what the new deal offers, must be taken.

it was also determined that decisions need to be made by that august for the sake of personnel scheduling.

Nancy parsons, a newly elected board member at the time, said the option to “put something back” needed to remain.

Member kazalski said he was having “second thoughts” about abolishing the program and also wanted to option to put the program back in.

Similarly, member ander-son suggested that the board be “big enough” to admit it had made a mistake in time to correct it with positive action.

BAINBRIDGE25 YEARS AGO

July 13, 1993plans for a Hansmann’s

Mills expansion project changed course after the

Susquehanna river did the same thanks to the Blizzard of ’93.

after thawing from the blizzard brought river wa-ters above the 100-year flood mark on the proposed route 7 building site, owners george and robin Slilaty were forced to regroup. the pair an-nounced plans to expand the business at the acre of prop-erty on feb. 18 earlier that year. the Slilatys acquired the property, which included the former flannery Motel, a house and barn, at auction in June 1993.

robin Slilaty said she and george planned to dedicate the first floor of the house to the Hansmann’s Mills’ retail division, with the second floor used as offices. the barn, she said, formerly planned as a re-tail site, would be re-imagined as an old mill with bakery and museum.

fred Hansmann’s “just-add-water” mix was believed to have been the first of its kind in america, with prod-ucts including brown bread, muffin and Belgian waffle mixes. in 1993, products were sold domestically and in Bel-gium, france and Japan.

the expansion project was expected to generate 72 jobs locally.

GUILFORD

25 YEARS AGOJuly 13, 1993

according to members of United citizens of guilford, a large number of property owners in the township expe-rienced substantial property assessments as the result of a revaluation.

“Many do not feel satis-fied with the results of griev-ance day,” a representative for the group said at the time. “there is action that can be taken against this increase, but time is running out, after a few weeks, there will be northing more that property owners can do to combat the increased assessment.”

property owners displeased with their assessments had until august to take action. a July 13 meeting of the United citizens of guilford was held at the guilford elementary School.

Here on the farm

the fellas have been wrap-ping more bales and have had good weather to get some dry hay done also. the corn is growing well most every-where you travel; take some time and observe its prog-ress. Make sure you watch the roads for the wagons and trucks traveling back and forth with bales and chopped hay from the farms in the area. the second cutting is getting ready to be chopped or baled and wrapped. there should be a good crop for all farmers. keep on purchasing those dairy products to keep all dairy farmers in business.

Michael SargentcLarkStON, waSH. -

Michael Sargent, 73, left this world June 25 due to compli-cations from cancer. it was a quick and courageous fight of only two months from diagno-sis to his passing.

Mike was born april 11, 1945 in Oneonta to Jennie Blanchard Simeone and an-thony Simeone, who was killed in an accident when Mike was an infant. His moth-er married warren Sargent, who promptly adopted Mike and he also became a Sargent. Mike’s mother and warren added twin girls to the family, Linda and donna, becoming a family of five in Sidney.

Mike worked and played hard during his years in Sid-ney by delivering milk, work-ing at the grocer, trapping and hunting, being involved in the Boy Scouts and becoming an eagle Scout, wresting, foot-ball and his love of cars. He graduated in 1963.

according to his childhood friends he was able to use his gift of gab and persuasion to his advantage. His unique sense of humor and ability to tell a story lasted his entire life.

Mike began college at Broome tech, but soon enlist-ed in the air force to serve in Vietnam. He spent eight years in the service, being stationed at keesler afB in Missis-sippi and then Nellis afB in Las Vegas. He worked as part of the combat support group working on the f-111 planes, spending time in Vietnam and becoming Sgt Sargent.

while in Las Vegas, Mike worked part time at the local pizza Hut restaurant. when he was discharged in 1972, he accepted an area manager po-sition with pizza Hut in New Hampshire. from there, Mike was promoted to district man-ager in pennsylvania.

while there, the pizza Hut home office in wichita sent training specialist Sheri Ster-ba to set up offices in penn-sylvania. three months later a billboard in front of the home office read, “Sheri i love you, will you marry me? Mike.” in response, a billboard said, “yes, if you promise to love, honor, and cook.” they mar-ried in October 1975 and moved to Mike’s next assign-ment in kansas city. after another transfer to Las Vegas, their son Shane was born in 1977.

it was during this time in Las Vegas that Mike became very involved in off road rac-ing and drove in many desert races, including the Mint 400.

they transferred to the Se-attle area in 1981 and, in 1982, their second son Michael was born and completed the fam-ily. they continued to move around to Massachusetts, New york, clarkston, wash., cali-fornia and back to clarkston, wash. for his final 27 year, where he eventually left res-taurant management and spent his last working days before retirement at potlatch.

Mike was a hard worker, good friend to many and a terrific father who put his

She is also survived by her daughter, Lynette and son-in-law, ed Houck, iii of Oxford; daughter, diane and son-in-law, ron Swenson of Sherman, texas and Mason-ville; grandchildren, Mark (chrystal) Baldwin, kari Baldwin and fiancé Brooks ruff, Sierra (trevor) Beames, Jonathon Hilz, Sarah (adam) Bean, emily Hilz, Stephen Swenson, and devota (Mi-chael) gardner; and four great grandchildren.

a graveside service was held Monday, July 2 at the glenwood cemetery in afton, with family and friends in at-tendance. a small gathering was held afterwards at fran-ces’ home in afton to cele-brate her life and to mourn her loss. Her charm and sass will be terribly missed.

arrangements are under the direction of c.H. Landers fu-neral chapel, Sidney.

TriathlonContinued from page 1 she said. “i remember being a little girl and watching iron-man on tV and i just knew that i wanted to do that some-day. it’s been a dream in the making and always stuck with me.”

pursuing that dream, Sloan said, has required years of training. She completed her first, full-length ironman competition – at 140.6 miles – in Lake placid in 2013. while she trained for that, Sloan said, she was also earning her school administration cer-tification from Binghamton University.

the Sept. 1 and 2 world championship race will re-quire 1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles on the bike and 13.1 miles of running.

Sloan said, beyond swim-ming daily at the Sidney cen-tral School pool and training alongside her husband, gil-bertsville native Steve Sloan, she’s been working remotely with a South american coach. Sloan said she spends be-

tween 15 and 20 hours train-ing each week.

“My hus-band is prob-

ably my biggest supporter,” she said. “He trains and races and his background is in cy-cling, so he does a lot along with me.”

“and i have a coach that i work with out of colombia,” she said. “we do everything online – he creates all my workouts and uploads them to an app, and i upload all my data back.”

even with such digital conveniences, Sloan said, tri-athlon prep requires old-fash-ioned grit, and lots of it.

“you end up training all year,” she said, mentioning weight lifting in the off-season. “you really sacrifice and ded-icate a lot of time to training for these types of endurance events. it’s a lifestyle – you eat, sleep and breathe it.”

for Sloan, the sacrifices (and the sweat) are worth it.

“i knew, no matter what, that i was going to achieve these goals,” she said. “it’s a passion of mine. you learn

a lot about yourself when you’re training and racing – how to dig deep and push yourself past boundaries and limitations.”

Sloan said the September triathlon will mark a high point on her personal and ath-letic journey.

“it’s really the culmination of all the hard work and dedi-cation that goes into training,” she said. “and the team i’m on is an international ambassador team, so i’m looking forward to that sense of community and spending time with like-minded people. i want to take it all in and enjoy it.”

“i’ve always wanted to race in South africa,” she added. “ever since i’ve been racing, it’s been on my bucket list of places i want go, so we’re re-ally going to make a big vaca-tion out of it. we’re excited to go and have the experience.”

By sharing her story, Sloan said, she hopes to inspire oth-ers to chase their dreams.

StoryWalkContinued from page 1 something everybody does – walking – and literacy and combine the two,” she added. “this is all about getting peo-ple moving.”

plans for a local iteration, Ohman said, have been un-derway since she and met with Blanchard in february 2017.

Ohman, who became fa-miliar with the Storywalk concept years ago through her work developing program-ming for homeschoolers, said, “i’m always on the lookout for innovative ideas that would delight children and their adults. when i became the director at Harris Memorial Library, the idea came to the forefront of my mind again and i knew i would find a way to implement it. then when (Blanchard) started talk-ing about a Storywalk … of course i lit up and jumped on that.”

thanks to cHSc grant funding totaling roughly $2,000, the 20 custom-built, child-height weatherproof podiums – each containing a laminated page of a children’s storybook – were installed along Main Street May 21, Ohman said.

Blanchard noted that, to keep little legs happy, the Sto-rywalk route, which extends from the corner of river and

Main streets to the library at 334 Main St., is roughly a quarter mile.

the podiums were designed and built by Mayor kroll and the village staff.

“He was all in from the be-ginning,” Ohman said. “After a couple of meetings discussing our vision of what the podiums should be like, Ernie designed them to perfection.”

kroll, a house builder, said lending municipal support to the project only made sense.

“i thought it would get peo-ple out on Main Street and get them active with children,” he said. “we want to have families out, walking the vil-lage and seeing what’s there … rather than on cell phones and the internet. it’s (about) activity and i thought it was a great idea for young children to learn to read and start them off.”

the community’s response, Ohman said, has been em-phatically positive.

“the books are children’s picture books, but it really has been delightful for all ages,” she said. “Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!” by Candace Fleming was chosen as the first featured book.

“It’s most fun when you walk it with other people,” Ohman added. “My patrons are com-ing into the library and tell-ing me beautiful stories about seeing all ages and multiple

generations of families walk-ing together, reading the story out loud to each other.”

“it’s been so well received,” Blanchard echoed. “there’s a book at the library for com-ments and the comments people have left just blew me away.”

“people are saying it’s a great idea,” kroll added.

calling the finished Sto-rywalk a “librarian’s dream come true,” Ohman said: “it’s wonderful to just connect with your family in this new, lovely way. to me, the ultimate pay-off is hearing that families are choosing to be together and connecting with each other in this joyful way.”

a portion of grant fund-ing, Blanchard noted, went toward buying books, as the Storywalk content will likely change each month. kroll said swapping out story pages in all 20 podiums takes approxi-mately 30 minutes.

the next story, Ohman said, will be in place in time for the library’s annual ice cream social – doubling this year as a Storywalk kickoff – which takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. wednesday.

Blanchard said additional Storywalks are planned for Unadilla and Sidney.

for more information, find “Storywalk celebration w/animal adventure!” or “Har-ris Memorial Library” on facebook or call the library at 988-6661.

The StoryWalk podiums, designed by Kroll, are water- and weatherproof, with each laminated page of a children’s story placed securely under Plexiglas.

Unfortunately, their luck did not improve. while up at bat they were unable to put any runs on the scoreboard un-til late in the game. with a player on fi rst base, Matthew Hoskins slammed the ball into the outfi eld over the fi eld-ers’ heads to earn a triple and to send home a Sidney runner. in the end Sidney lost 11-1 to deposit/Hancock.

ViNeS farm Share is a modified cSa program that works to make buying healthy, local food a real option for people of all incomes. ViNeS farm Share is a weekly subscription to a box of local veggies, harvested between four local farms and all located within 60 miles, providing exceptional freshness! different size shares and flexible payment plans are offered to ensure flexibility for each member.

caterina Marchione, local to whitney point, enjoyed the people she and her daughter met when picking up her share so much she began volunteering at farm Share distribution. Her role as a volunteer consists of many things from helping to set and clean up, ensuring the correct shares go to the correct people, checking payment, and many other obligations. However, she sees this opportunity as something much more than just a checklist of things to do.

“farm Share is very important for the whitney point community because it gives us all a great opportunity

to obtain fresh affordable produce combined with the pride of supporting local farmers. also the convenience of a local pick up mixed with the various payment options and discount possibilities

make it possible for some of us who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford fresh vegetables for our families,” Marchione said.

cOVeNtry – the 12th annual coventry Blueberry festival, taking place July 28 at wrench wranch, promises many things – all-day family-friendly fun, more than 30 product vendors, a blueberry-themed baking contest and live entertainment.

and, testing strength, en-durance and fortitude, the fes-tival will also bring chenango county’s only strongman competition.

daron Schultes, chairman of festival presenters coven-try events committee, said the contest features seven dif-ferent events and three divi-sions – adult male and female and youth.

from noon to 3 p.m., con-testants will be challenged with a stone carry, pull-ing concrete-filled buckets

weighing between 20 and 80 pounds; a shot put using a 15-pound bowling bowl; a tire throw; a log carry; a dead lift using a dumbbell weighing approximately 350 pounds; a flip-and-roll tractor-trailer tire race up and down a 100-foot track; and a one-minute truck pull. prizes are awarded for first, second and third place.

“It’s quite intense,” Schultes said. “Last year we had 10 contestants – six or seven adult males, a couple adult females and one youth female.”

the roster for this year’s strongman contest, he said, is filling fast.

“We’ve already had contes-tants call,” he said. “everyone has fun doing it and every year (the contest) gets bigger, like the festival.”

Schultes, a coventry native, estimated that the contest has been ongoing for 11 years.

the festival itself, Schultes said, is planned by a team of about eight people for nearly a year. the annual event draws several hundred people to the chenango county hamlet and, he noted, is one of only a few festivals statewide devoted to blueberries.

admission to the festival, which starts at 9 a.m. and goes throughout the day, is free. wrench wranch is located at 123 wrench Lane.

for more information, find “12th annual coventry Blue-berry festival” on facebook or visit covblueberryfest.wee-bly.com. registration forms for the strongman competition can be found at the latter, un-der the “more” tab.
