U-E, Vestal Schools Team Up to Score Big for CHOW
Using their power for good, the students
at Union-Endicott and Vestal High
Schools are entering a friendly competi-
tion to collect donations for CHOW with
rival food drives October 1 to October 9
at both schools. Vestal High School’s
Lighthouse Committee challenged Un-
ion-Endicott High School to participate
in a joint food drive. Union-Endicott and
Vestal students will bring in non-
perishable food items for the Communi-
ty Hunger Outreach Warehouse, and this
leadership initiative will culminate dur-
ing the powerhouse Golden Bears versus
U-E Tigers football game on October 9.
The members of the Lighthouse
Committee are asking students, parents
and other attendees to bring non-
perishable food items to the game and
deposit them in either the Vestal or U-E
bins, which will be located at both the
“Home” and “Away” entrances to Hoo-
ver Stadium. The decades-old football
rivalry provides a great opportunity for
both students and fans to show their
school spirit, while benefiting our local
communities.
To add to the fun, principals at both
schools will compete in a friendly foot-
ball challenge during halftime of the
game, with Dr. Albert Penna facing off
against Steven DiStefano. Volunteers
will keep count of the number of donat-
ed food items in all of the bins, and the
winning school along with the total
amount of food collected will also be
announced at halftime.
The Vestal Lighthouse Committee
further challenges Union-Endicott High
School to pay it forward by challenging
another local school with the hopes of
raising an abundance of food for
CHOW… The pressure is on!

The event includes a private member-ship meeting/luncheon that begins at 11:00 am for the SRAC membership which will include fun prizes, a great meal and a presentation by Director, Deb Twigg on SRAC's past year as well as their future plans. Members are asked to RSVP for the luncheon at (607) 565-7960. The doors open for the public at 12:30 pm with speakers starting at 1:00 pm in the Susquehanna River Archaeo-logical Center lecture hall. The first speaker of the day will be Paul Krohn, who donated the largest NYS private collection of fossils which are now on exhibit at SRAC for the public to enjoy. Paul has been collecting fossils through-out New York State for most of his life and has extensive knowledge on the topic. His impressive resume of fossil work includes being a past curator at the Museum of the Earth. The second speaker of the day will be Dr. Deeanne Wymer from Bloomsburg University who will be presenting her
latest excavation and findings at The Snake Den Mound Complex.

The third speaker of the day will be SRAC's cofounder and executive direc-tor, Deb Twigg presenting "Carantouan and Spanish Hill" in celebration of the 400 the anniversary of the first white explorer entering our region 5 years be-fore the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1615. Twigg's article that was published in the peer reviewed archaeol-ogy journal, The Pennsylvania Archae-ologist in 2005 places the nation of Ca-rantouan (three villages) in the vacinity of Spanish Hill. The event closes with the national award winning Seneca "Buffalo Creek Dancers" who will share their traditions and dances for the audience to enjoy. The event is free for the public to enjoy and is SRAC's annual celebration of the region's prehistoric and Native American past. To learn more visit http://www.sracenter.org/drumbeats/
“The Family Willis and Friend” - October 10 “The Family Willis and Friend”, a work by Chuck Knauf, will be presented as a reading by four local Tioga County performers at the Tioga County Histori-cal Society on Saturday, October 10, 3:00 pm. The Family Willis consists of Na-thaniel Parker Willis, a famous author, poet and journalist who lived by the Owego Creek from 1837-1842, and wrote “Letters from under a Bridge” while living there; Sara Willis, who be-came famous in her own right as an au-thor and journalist with the non de plume of Fanny Fern; and their younger brother, Richard Storrs Willis, musician, composer and journal editor. The friend is Harriet Jacobs, former slave from North Carolina, who was a close associ-ate of the Willis family and nurse to N. P. Willis’s children over the years.
In this presentation, the performers will narrate each of their own life sto-ries, in part, and interchange play-like dialogue, which at times becomes heated between NP and Sara/Fanny. In real life they become estranged; the cause to be portrayed in the program. Reading the part of Nathaniel Parker Willis will be Ed Nizalowski, well-known Newark Valley historian, who once portrayed Nathaniel Parker Willis as a docent at the “Walk Thru Time” at Hiawatha Island. Reading the parts of Sara/Fanny, Richard, and Harriet will be, respectively, Cathy Yetter, Frank Mischke, and Brenda-Cave James. The TCHS Museum is at 110 Front Street in Owego. The event is free.
