The Town of Owego: 2010 in Review By Donald Castellucci Jr., Town of Owego Supervisor It has been a busy year at the Town as we have transitioned to a new Town Board. I would first like to thank the Town Board and Town employees for helping to make the transition to new leadership, seam- less and efficient. I suspect most people who do business with the Town each day never noticed a dif- ference in their business transac- tions. That speaks highly of the tal- ent and dedication of the Town em- ployees. Let me share a few highlights of 2010 here in the Town of Owego. We closed our Digester Cover pro- ject with a serial bond in the amount of 1,810,000 dollars on June 24, 2010. These funds were used to re- place the digester covers at the Apalachin plant. They had been in use roughly 40 years. We also closed our bond on our water pro- jects with the USDA on December 15, 2010, in the amount of 3,239,000 dollars. These funds helped to replace or refurbish all the water reservoirs in the Town, build a booster pump station on Glann Road, established emergency power at all our water pump houses and the construction of the 17C water in- ter-connect with the Village of Owego. A budget line has been es- tablished to reserve funds for paint- ing the water reservoirs in the future so we do not have to borrow money for this maintenance item. The Chesapeake Bay Initiative, which is not new, is not only going to be another burden on sewer and water users but private property owners as well. Recently the State DEC (Dept. of Environmental Con- servation) has challenged the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) on the restrictions (TMDL’s Total Maximum Daily Load). For this articles purpose, basically the Ches- apeake Bay can only handle so many pollutants to keep it viable. All rivers and streams that flow to the Bay are under scrutiny. New York’s waters have been significant- ly cleaned over the past decade to battle the problems caused by nitro- gen, phosphorus and sediment. To reach the numbers the EPA wants local municipalities to have in their effluents would be astronomical in cost. Fortunately the State has, for the moment, challenged the EPA to come up with more reasonable and fairer numbers for New York. The jurisdictions in the Bay Watershed include Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Colum- bia. The State has made the argu- ment that the numbers being sug- gested for the other jurisdictions are not fair. The other jurisdictions have more of an impact on the Bay and New York’s waters are much clean- er when they leave New York. This is just a short synopsis of one way the federal Government is trying to control local and State government. If you are a private land owner or a farmer, this is a way to control your land. Residents need to educate themselves on this issue. The Town has a new website: www.townofowego.com. There are many new features, some that may save you a trip to the Town Hall! You can view and download infor- mation such as hours of operation, Ordinances and Codes, Town Board minutes, Permit and License infor- mation and much more. Peruse the website and let me know what you think! Send me an email at: [email protected]Is there something you would like to see added? Was it helpful? I believe you will find it a valuable resource when you need information about your Town government. 7830 Rt 434, Apalachin 625-2332 or 206-2283 BEAM Electronics Hobbies & more... 7830 Rt 434, Apalachin, N.

Been following the gold and silver market lately? Well if you have a jewelry box or lock box full of gold or a coffee can full of old coins you should be according to Ohio Valley Refinery spokesperson John Miller. “The gold and silver markets have not been this strong for over 30 years” said Miller. Typically when the U.S. dollar is weak and the economy is flat gold and silver markets soar. “That’s good news if you are setting on a few gold necklaces or an old class ring” says Miller. Starting Tuesday at 9am and every day through Saturday, the Ohio Valley Refinery will be setting up a satellite refinery right here in Owego at the Owego Treadway Inn & Conference Center. During their 5 day stay, anyone can bring gold, silver or platinum items and turn them in for immediate payment, explains John Miller. “Just about everybody has some amount of gold or silver just lying around collecting dust and next week anybody can sell theirs direct to our refinery. Typically, selling direct to a refinery is reserved for larger wholesale customers like jewelry stores, pawn shops, and laboratories,” says Miller. “We are changing how business is done,” he explains. “We want to do business with everybody so we took our business to the streets. Our teams visits various cities around the country hosting 5 day events allowing the general public to take advantage of our services. The turnout has been overwhelming,” says Miller. “Usually each day is busier than the previous day. It seems once people come to us and sell something, they are so amazed by what an old ring or gold coin is worth that they go home and start digging around for more and tell relatives, friends and neighbors. It’s like a feeding frenzy by the third day. People line up with everything from gold jewelry to sterling silver flatware sets to old coins. I think during this bad economy everybody can use extra money but most people say they are taking advantage of selling direct
to our refinery because of the higher prices we pay.” During this special event anyone is welcome to bring all types of gold, silver and platinum to the refinery and turn it in for instant payment. The types of items they will accept include: all gold jewelry, gold coins, gold ounces and dental gold. We also buy coins dated 1964 and before including: Silver Dollars, halves, quarters and dimes. Anything marked “sterling” is accepted including: flat ware sets, tea pots, silver bars, silver ounces and all industrial precious metals. What should you expect if you go to the event to sell your gold and/or silver? Just gather up all gold silver and platinum in any form. If you are not sure if its gold or silver, bring it in and they will test it for free. When you arrive at the event you will be asked to fill out a simple registration card and will be issued a number. Seating will be available. When your number is called you will be escorted to a table where your items will be examined, tested

and sorted. This only takes a few minutes using their expertise and specialized equipment. Items will be counted and/or weighed. The value of the items will be determined based on up to the minute market prices. Live feeds will be available at the event displaying current market prices of all precious metals. If you choose to sell your items, they will be bagged and tagged and you will be escorted to the cashier to collect your payment. Waiting time to sell your items may range from just a few minutes to 1 hour so bring something to read. If you are the owner of a jewelry store, pawn shop, dentist office or a dealer, you are encouraged to call ahead to make an appointment with the smelt master to discuss their special dealer programs. You can call our venue to make an appointment at (607) 687-4500. Ohio Valley Refinery will open for business Tuesday from 9am-6pm. The event continues every day through Saturday.

Silver and Gold Coin Prices Up During Poor Economy.
Refinery representatives will be on hand starting Tuesday to purchase all gold, silver and platinum items, as well as coins. Public welcome!
Ohio Valley Refinery Arrives Tomorrow in Owego for a 5 Day Event!
Got Coin? It might be just the time to cash in. This week, starting Tuesday and continuing through Saturday, the International Collectors Association, in conjunction with the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery, will be purchasing all types of silver and gold coins direct from the public. All types are welcome and the event is free. Collectors will be on hand to identify and sort your coins. Then the quality or grade will be determined. According to collectors I talked with, the better the grade the more they are worth. With the current silver and gold markets, prices are up for older coins too. Any coins minted in 1964 and before in the U.S. are 90% silver, except nickels and pennies. The coins worth is determined by the rarity and the grade. Old silver dollars are worth a great premium right now. Even well worn and heavy circulated ones are bringing good premiums. Franklin and Kennedy halves, Washington quarters and Mercury and Roosevelt dimes are all worth many times their face value. While older types like Seated Liberty, Standing Liberties, and Barber coins are worth even more. Gold coins are really worth a lot right now according to Brian Eades of the International Collectors Association. “This country didn’t start minting coins until 1792,” says Eades. “Before that people would trade goods using gold dust and nuggets. Some shop keepers would take more gold than needed to pay for items purchased. There was no uniform system of making change.”
The government opened the first mints and began distributing the coins in 1792. By the beginning of the 19th century, coins and paper currency were wide spread and our monetary system was here to stay. In 1933, Roosevelt required all banking institutions to turn in all gold coins. Once all banks turned in this gold, the president raised the gold standard from $20.00 per ounce to $33.00 per ounce. This was his way of stimulating the economy during the great depression. However, gold coins were never redistributed after the recall. Not all gold coins were turned in. Many folks during that time didn’t completely trust the government and chose to keep their gold. These gold coins are sought after by collectors today and bring many times the face value. Any gold coins with the mint marks of CC, D or O will bring nice premiums. Collectors at the event will be glad to show you where to look. Other types of coins will also be purchase including: foreign coins, Indian head cents, two cent pieces, half dimes, three cent pieces and buffalo nickels to name a few. Collectors warn people against trying to clean their coins as significant damage can be done and the coins value lessened.

The spokesperson for the company explained that these collectors are paying collector price for vintage items. It’s a great way for people to get a great value for their items.

4-H Adds Air Rifle Program to Shooting Sports
A recent $1532.00 grant from
the NRA has allowed the Tioga
County 4-H Shooting Sports Pro-
gram to add the Air Rifle project to
its program. The grant provided the
funds to purchase eight air rifles, a
storage cabinet, and air rifle pellets
for a year's worth of training classes
and team use.
The 4-H Air Rifle project is open
to youth 9 to 19 years old. All 4-H
firearms projects are taught by NYS
4-H certified shooting sports in-
structors. Youth members receive 12
hours of training, and learn safe and
responsible use of firearms, life
skills, and team work. When the
training is successfully completed
and other requirements are met,
members then can be eligible for
participation on the 4-H Air Rifle
postal match team.

Tioga Downs & Vernon Downs Contribute
More Than $76,000 to Charity in 2010
American Racing and Entertain-
ment is proud to announce that their
donation totals between Tioga
Downs and Vernon Downs in 2010
amounted to more than $76,000 and
reached more than 50 charities.
In the month of August, fans at
Tioga Downs donated more than
$3,300 to each the Chloe Mulchahy
benefit and Aliesya Abrams benefit,
which Tioga Downs matched dollar
for dollar to both charities, as well
as Chairman Jeff Gural, who per-
sonally matched the contribution,
and the Children's Starlight Founda-
tion of New York City.
Some of the other charities that
American Racing and Entertainment
donated to in 2010 include the Ohio
Harness Horsemen to help in the
Lebanon fire relief, Sullivan Chapter
of the Red Cross to help with aid in
the Haiti disaster, and The Food
Bank of the Southern Tier. The Tio-
ga Downs employees showed their
generosity with the Tioga County
United Way Campaign in November
and donated over $8,000 which was
matched by Tioga Downs, and Jeff
Gural personally donated $5,000 to
bring the grand total to more than
$21,000.
One of the marquee events of
the year for Tioga Downs is the
Drivers' Championship which also
helps raise money for charity. Jason
Bartlett, Brian Sears, Dave Palone,
Yannick Gingras, John Campbell,
Bruce Ranger, and Tim Tetrick each
gladly donated their 5% earnings in
the competition to the Standardbred
Retirement Foundation, which Tio-
ga Downs matched, while Ron
Pierce and George Brennan donated
theirs to a charity of their choosing
which Tioga also matched.
"We are very thankful to the
communities that support us, and
this is a way that Tioga and Vernon
are able to give back and help these
wonderful local charities out in a
time of need. We would also like
to thank our customers who do-
nated their money and canned
food items to many of the local
charities this year, without your
help much of this would not be
possible" said Jason M. Settle-
