Gural, who has been a large supporter of area veterans, has been planning to fund the Honor Flight trip, and has now set these plans in motion. Working with Deanna Deneen, who heads up the Honor Flight Hub serving the Southern Tier of New York and Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, an arranged flight will facilitate 50 veterans and their guardians for a visit to the Memorials. The flight will depart Binghamton on Saturday, April 12, fly to the D.C. area for visits to the Korean War Memorial and the WWII Memorial located on the National Mall. A stop is also planned at the Changing of the Guards in Arlington. Deneen stated that the flight will be met by charter buses that will transport the veterans, and that the buses will receive an honorary police escort to the Memorials. Deneen is currently taking names for the flight, and those interested should visit twintiershonorflight.org, download an application, and then email it to [email protected]. Applications can also be mailed to Deneen, and that address is located on the form. Applications will be accepted until the flight is filled up, and those who are unable to get on this flight will be put on a waiting list for future available flights. Owego Strawberry Festival June 20 & 21 2014 Festival Celebrates 34 Years The Historic Owego Marketplace in downtown Owego is pleased to announce plans for the upcoming 34th Annual Strawberry Festival to be held Friday night, June 20, 5:30 to 10:30 pm, and Saturday, June 21, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. New committee co-chairs, Fran and Sandy Dunbar, are excited to help plan some very exciting activities at the festival and hope this year's event claims to be the best ever. This annual event is host to over 30,000 guests each year; offering plenty of food, entertainment on every street corner, and up to 200 vendors. According to Stella Reschke, Tioga County Tourism Director, the festival committee has tried to incorporate new and exciting activities for the festival to attract visitors from all over. “We usually see lots of new faces come in for the festival from all over the Northeast because strawberries are a universally much-loved fruit, and it's just a really fun couple of days.” said Reschke. The Strawberry Festival has included some new and returning features to this year’s event. In addition to the over 200 vendors and the fabulous entertainment throughout the streets on Friday's Block Party and on Saturday, the festival will also include: "Straw Dawgs Strut Their Stuff"; Fireworks over the River; Wine, Beer, Spirits Tasting Tent; Strawberry Festival Parade; Rubber Ducky Derby; Chicken BBQ; 11th Annual Pig Roast; Rock Climbing Wall; 5K Run and 1 Mile Kids' Run; and some great surprises! Tioga County Legislature Taking a Hard Look at County Bus Transportation System by Martha Sauerbrey Chair, Tioga County Legislature Recent changes in the mandated Medical Transportation System by the Cuomo Administration has severely impacted the financial viability of the Tioga Bus Transportation and will result in an increase in local tax dollars if the service continues. For the past 20 years, Tioga County has provided a rural transportation system paid for by Medicaid dollars. Under the new Medicaid System, the New York State Department of Health has contracted with a private vendor to manage the transportation system. They are not using our bus system but sending people in cabs. The change has seen the Medicaid transports on our system drop from 993 trips per month to 8 trips per month. The cost to the county even with increasing the rates and eliminating some routes leaves the county with an estimated bill of $370,000 per year on the local tax base. Since the state failed to adequately advise us of this change until late in the year, no money was budgeted for 2014. That translates into a 1.7% tax increase. With Medicaid beneficiaries no longer riding the bus, that leaves approximately 200 people per day using the bus system. Roughly 75 of these riders are commuting to and from work. So the question is, considering these ridership numbers, how much are we willing to pay? The Legislature doesn’t want to make a decision without reaching out to the citizens of Tioga County. We need to hear from you as this is a taxpayer issue not just a transportation issue. Contact your legislator or the Tioga County Legislative office and share your feedback. The information is listed on the county website under Government at www.tiogacountyny.com.

Updating Our County Memorial Park by Bill Chandler, Chairman Honor Our Veterans Monument Fund
I was asked a while ago about Medal
of Honor recipients in Tioga County. I
found out there are four; they are all
Civil War Veterans. I was looking at our
County Memorial Park at the Court-
house Square. We have monuments
there, but not enough to take care of our
veterans that have given their lives for
our freedoms. Some veteran names are
just posted on gray signs. Three more
monuments are needed to complete hon-
oring our veterans. We need one World
War II monument - there are an addi-
tional twenty-five names that need to be
added; and we need a monument for
modern warfare for our county veterans
that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The new monuments will be the same
size and shape gray granite stone that is
currently in the square. Behind the mon-
uments two additional flag poles will be
installed. Then coming out toward the
sidewalk to the courthouse; add a small-
er monument with a bronze statue on top
with the engraved names of our Medal
of Honor Recipients.
The memorial upgrade will cost ap-
proximately $30,000. We need your help
to honor our veterans and their families
that gave the ultimate sacrifice. Please
make your check payable to VFW
Post#1371, 207 Main Street, Owego,
NY 13827. Please make sure your check
denotes for "Memorial Monument
Fund." Your contribution is greatly ap-
preciated.
The "Fallen Soldier Statue" cast in bronze would sit atop a monument engraved with the names of the four Tioga Co. Civil War Veterans who received the Medal of Honor: Richard Stout, Landsman, U.S. Navy; Isaac S. Catlin, Colonel, 109th NY Infantry; Benjamin F. Tracy, Colonel, 109th NY Infantry; and John Tribe, Private, Co. G, 5th NY Cavalry.

TC Rural Ministry gets help from Zion Lutheran
Zion Lutheran School used National
Lutheran Schools Week to help out
Tioga County Rural Ministries. On
January 27, the students completed a
bowling unit in their gym class by taking
a trip to Owego Bowl and having a bowl
-a-thon to support the local ministry.
Students were sponsored by family and
friends with either a flat fee or per pin.
Over $450 was raised by the students
which they were able to take to the
ministry on Friday morning, January 31
when they went to help as a service
project. Students filled the food pantry
and brought valentines to decorate the
building. Pre-K - 1st grade students
crossed off UPC codes on health
products so that they were ready to be
distributed to those in need. Prior to
leaving for the trip, the students
collected hand and dish soap for their
Soap for Hope campaign and delivered
them and stocked the Ministries shelves
with those items.
Tioga County Rural Ministry, located
on North Avenue in Owego, is a non-
profit organization dedicated to helping
the poor, sick, and elderly. The ministry
is supported by local churches and
private donations.
