The Chenango American, Whitney Point Reporter, andAn Oxford Institution for over One Hundred and Fifty Years EDITIONVOL. 159 – NO. 7 OXFORD, NEW YORK — THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 2013Remembering Amy MarslandBy Ken PadenThe first time I laid eyes on Amy Marsland was a sunny,mid-October afternoon in 1978. Her husband, Bill, hadjust hired me to work for their publishing company and as Istepped out of the newspaper offices onto the South ChenangoStreet sidewalk in Greene, a woman wearing a lovely dress –and sneakers – was walking toward the office while reading abook.Amy, as Bill explained, had recently had a health scare involvingher heart and her doctor suggested long, brisk walks aspart of her treatment. So she was following doctor’s orders, andat the same time reading.She had to be able to “multi task.” Some 35 years agoshe was a wife, mother, newspaper editor, corporation officer,part-time college professor and a very active communitymember in Greene. Any one of those “titles” wouldkeep a woman busy, but she was all of them, and all at onetime.As we reported last week, Amy passed away Monday, June3, at the age of 89. (Her obituary appears elsewhere in thisweek’s issue.) You quite often hear a male being referred to asa “Renaissance Man,” but seldom a female as a “RenaissanceWoman.” Amy was a Renaissance Woman. And if you needproof, just leaf through the back issues of the past 25 years ofthis newspaper – issue by issue – and read her weekly column,“A Cheerful Prospect.” Amy was so well versed on so manysubjects that she was a human “Wikipedia” long before thatword was coined.After Amy and Bill sold their publishing company to me andmy partner, she started writing her weekly column for the newspapers.In my opinion her column alone was worth the priceof the yearly subscription. Amy wrote approximately 1,300“Cheerful Prospects.” Can you imagine what a daunting taskthat was to come up with an interesting topic to write about everyweek for some 25 years? And if she was going to be awayfor any length of time she would submit a handful of columnsahead of time.As you can read in her obituary, penning her weekly newspapercolumn wasn’t the only writing she did. She was the authorof a number of books, too, from crime novels to scholarlyworks.I’ll miss reading her thought-provoking, informative, entertaining– and once in awhile controversial – columns. Unfortunately,the topic of “A Cheerful Prospect” sometimes beliedits heading, like when her daughter-in-law was a victim in theBinghamton mass murder a few years ago, and when her oldestson died suddenly at a relatively early age.I’ll miss reading her columns, but I’ll miss Amy herself evenmore.The last time I laid eyes on Amy was a couple of weeksago. She had just hand-delivered her column to the ChenangoAmerican office and ironically was walking down the very samestretch of South Chenango Street sidewalk that she was on theday I first met her. Her pace had slowed considerably from thatgorgeous October afternoon in 1978. And I think she was wearingsneakers.Regrettably, knowing that I’ll never see her again is anythingbut a cheerful prospect.(Paden is the newspaper’s owner and publisher.)OACS M ENUThursday, June 13Taco with Lettuce, Corn, Fruit,MilkFriday, June 15Pizza, Tossed Salad, Fruit,MilkMonday, June 17Chicken Nuggets, Mashed Potatoes,Peas, Fruit, MilkTuesday, June 18Breakfast Taco, Oven Potato,Fruit, MilkWednesday, June 19Choice of Sandwich, Chips,Fruit, MilkThursday, June 20Pizza, Tossed Salad, Fruit,MilkMenu based on availability;may be subject to change.OXFORD – Janet Laytham,Oxford Academy High Schoolprincipal, has announced thefive top honor graduates for2013.

At one point, a ladyturned toward me, placed herhand on my arm, and said theywere reminiscing about a timeand place I was too young toremember.

According to a study of 610 men whowere being treated for hypertension, those taking beta blockers had fewerbrain abnormalities than men who took no medications or took other bloodpressure drugs. Beta blockers are used to treat high blood pressure, heartfailure, heart arrhythmias, and chest pain (angina) by interfering with the actionof the stress hormone adrenaline (which increases heart rate and forcesthe heart to work harder). While the study findings are preliminary, they dounderscore the need to maintain good cardiovascular health as a means ofpreventing dementia.To find out more about recent findings for beta blockers, come toBARTLE’S PHARMACY, INC. where our pharmacists will give you the adviceyou need.

Tom Gray, Historianof the Town of Guilford,was recently awarded the distinctionof “Registered Historian”by the New York Stateorganization, the Associationof Public Historians of NewYork State. (APHNYS). Therecognition was presentedby Gerry Smith, president ofAPHNYS, at the three-dayconference of the APHNYSgroup in Syracuse.This distinction was approvedby the APHNYS Boardof Trustees that takes into accountthe documented educationalbackground (formal andinformal) and work experiencein four areas. These four areasidentify parts of an historian’sjob: research and writing, publicpresentations, preservationPaint Rebate ProgramFor Greene ContinuesGREENE – The GreeneRevitalization Project continuesto support communityimprovement with its PaintRebate Program. The groupwill give a rebate of $3 foreach gallon (up to $30) of exteriorpaint used on buildingsin the Town and/or Village ofGreene.Complete details and rebaterequest forms are available inboth the village and town offices.Be aware that you willneed copies of receipts and aportion of each can’s label.The Paint Rebate Programis funded by interest earnedfrom the Revitalization Project’sFacade ImprovementLoans. The program willcontinue as long as funds areavailable. The loan fund provideslow interest loans (up to$5,000) for exterior improvementprojects.The Greene RevitalizationProject has the goal of preservingthe architecture andimproving the appearanceof the community. It is theorganization’s view that oneof Greene’s important assets,along with the involvement ofthe people in the community,is its richness in architecturalstyles. It is hoped that both theloan program and the PaintRebate Program encouragethis goal.The Greene RevitalizationProject acknowledges the supportof the Raymond Foundation,for it was their initialgrant to establish the loanprogram that now also makesBronzissimo!Concert June 15BINGHAMTON – Bronzissimo!Community HandbellChoir will present its annualspring concert Saturday, June15, at 7 p.m. at the UnitarianUniversalist Church, locatedat 183 Riverside Dr., Binghamton.A free-will offeringwill be taken.Bronzissimo! is composedof ringers from across theSouthern Tier and performsfor many types of events.For more information, e-mailbronzissimo@yahoo.com.possible this Paint Rebate Program.The Revitalization Projectalso welcomes additionaldonations to either the FacadeLoan Fund or the Paint RebateProgram. *BUSINESS DIRECTORYPAINTING• Interior/Exterior Painting• Decks Pressure Washedand Sealed • Etc...• Insured• Free EstimatesVETERINARIAN3112 US Rte. 11Whitney Point, NY607-692-2270E-MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONPAINTING / DRYWALLOver 29 Yearsof Experience389 Co.

Registration isconsidered a marked accomplishmentnot unlike professionaldevelopment programsin place for other governmentofficials and professionals.APHNYS specifies at leastthree years of hard work andstudy to meet all the requirementsof registration. Tom’s15 years of dedication to preservingthe history of Guilfordwas certainly a considerationby the APHNYS board. Tomis also a trustee/member ofthe Guilford Historical Society(GHS) and trustee of theChenango County HistoricalSociety (CCHS). He serveson the Publication Committeeof the CCHS. So it canbe concluded that advocatingof preservation occurs withinboth of these groups.Tom was a physics andchemistry teacher in NewBerlin.

Anotherlady questioned the othersabout the architect, who wasthis Whitlock person, wheredid he come from, and whywas The Sherwood a differentcolor than the other brickbuildings around the village?I left the ice cream stand anddecided I would do some researchon the architect, buildingand any other interests theladies talked about, and here iswhat I found.An advertisement in theBinghamton Press dated June22, 1957, indeed shows youcould go to The Sherwood onSundays and enjoy full-coursedinners served from noon to 8p.m. and the SPECIAL whichconsisted of a half broiler,French fries, tossed salad, rollsand coffee all for $1.35.Walter Henry Whitlockwas born in Ithaca on June 29,1875, where he was educatedin the public schools. Thefamily then moved to Spencerin 1884 and, following thedeath of his father, moved toBinghamton in 1888. Aftergraduating from BinghamtonCentral High School in 1892,he entered Cornell Universityand graduated in 1897 fromthe College of Architecture ofthat institution with a bachelor’sdegree. Mr. Whitlock hasbeen identified with the constructionof some of the mostimportant buildings that hedesigned including the BinghamtonCentral Fire Station,the Mary A. Johnson Nurses’Home at the BinghamtonCity Hospital, the BroomeCounty Tuberculosis Hospitaland several homes, especiallysome along RiversideDrive. In association with Mr.Charles Conrad, Mr. Whitlockdesigned the new MasonicTemple and the Young Men’sChristian Association buildingon Washington Street.His work was not limited toBroome County, but spreadinto adjacent counties and, in1905, Mr. Whitlock was askedto draw up the design for the“new and magnificent” hotelto be built in Greene, nowknown as The Sherwood.The Sherwood was not builtof the traditional red brickwhich was “soft” and irregular,but of pressed bricks. Thisprocess is known as a dry pressmethod and starts with a muchthicker clay mix so it formsmore accurate, sharper-edgedbricks. The fine and dry mixturewas put into molds andgreat pressure was applied byhydraulic or screw presses andthe results were dense, hardbricks of extremely regularshape which allowed for theuse of fine mortar joints knownas “butter” joints. The greaterforce in pressing and the longerburn made this method moreexpensive. The Sherwoodwas estimated to cost approximately$31,000, but with theplans to use the pressed brickmethod, the price went up anadditional $10,000. Mrs. J.J.Blodgett wanted the buildingto be a sturdy landmark andlast for many years so she offeredto pay half the additionalcosts if the other half could beraised by the Chenango HotelCompany. The funds wereraised and the rest, as they say,is history. The color of TheSherwood was due in part tothe pressed bricks whose colorcould be buff, butter, mottledHistorical Society to HostFrancis Wilcox and His ArtGREENE – Stop in at theGreene Historical SocietyMuseum, second floor of theMoore Memorial Library, Saturday,June 15, from 10 a.m.to 3 p.m. and visit with artistFrancis Wilcox of Oxford andcheck out his painting “TheSherwood” that won first placeat the Greene Art Walk heldon May 1.
