Happy Thanksgiving, friends by Jill Darling Fifteen members of the Triple Cities Ski Club (TCSC) who are residents of Broome and Tioga Counties, picked up debris along eastbound and westbound lanes of Rt 17 between the Vestal and Endicott exits on Sunday, October 15. TCSC has participated in the AdoptA-Highway program since 1996, cleaning up this section in the spring and fall since TCSC member Carol Brugger began the effort and organized it for around ten years. Donna Creamer, from Tioga County, has worked at every single cleanup since its inception—that’s 55 times. She talks trash, according to her teasing friends.
This year she bagged a deer! Not really—she came upon a dead deer and simulated shooting it with her trash grabber. “You never know what you’re going to find,” said organizer Eileen Hanrahan, whose volunteers have found broken car parts, boxes of wall tiles, a mattress and a sex toy! Afterward, the group goes out to a local restaurant for breakfast. This year’s pick was Take-A-Break, which was a well-deserved break after their labor of love to benefit the safety of the community. For more information about TCSC’s year round activities go to www.triplecitiesskiclub.com.

CALL 607-754-0707 • RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL • INSTALLATIONS •
The Hose Team’s Motor Hose Truck called the “Purple People Eater” Due to the overwhelming success of its “Purple People Eater Takeover” of Glen Park Vineyards last year, Owego Hose Teams, Inc. is bringing the event back on Friday, November 10. Located on Allen Glen Road in Owego, Glen Park Vineyards is the perfect venue for the celebration of all things Hose Team purple. Celebrity guest bartenders will be serving New York based wines and beers from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm with musical guests the Latimer Lee Band. The event is open to the public with proceeds benefitting the Hose Team Amoskeag Steam Fire Engine project. The Purple People Takeover features several well-known Owego faces. Guest bartenders include Abbey Ortu, formally of Tioga County Economic Development with Brandon Smith of Scott Smith and Son; Julia Dodge of VFW Post #1371; Eric Nichols, past bartender at Metro’s, Whistle Stop, Dugout and White Tails; Bob Powell with Bob Powell Entertainment; and Shelly Worthing with daughter Meredith Sagor. The Latimer Lee Band will provide classic rock hits. In the 1950s Owego Hose Teams paraded around in a vehicle named the “Purple People Eater,” a retired hearse.
The “Purple People Eater” was replaced in the 1970s by the Hose Team with another retired hearse called the “Goofy Grape.” Today the Hose Team has a Motor Hose Truck affectionally called the Purple People Eater in tribute to the 1950s vehicle. Purple and Gold are the official colors of your championship Hose Team and patrons of the Takeover are encouraged to wear the Hose Team colors.

It’s November 1973. President Nixon predicts the worst energy crisis since World War II and proposes “Project Independence” to make the country selfsufficient in energy resources by 1980. Nixon proposes reducing highway speed limits, lowering thermostats, and rationing gasoline. In a televised speech, the President states, “I have no intention whatever of walking away from the job I was elected to do.” Speed limits in New York State are lowered to 50 mph. England’s Princess Anne, 23, marries Captain Mark Phillips, 25, in a televised ceremony at Westminster Abbey. An 18-minute segment is missing from one of the Watergate tapes. U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica asks for the immediate custody of all the Watergate tapes. Senator Edward Kennedy is among the thousands of people who visit the grave of President John F. Kennedy on the 10th anniversary of the assassination of JFK in Dallas. Marjorie Wallace, 19, is crowned Miss World in London. Miss Wallace was crowned Miss USA at a recent pageant held in Binghamton. Due to the energy crisis, President Nixon rations home heating oil, cuts back deliveries to gas stations, bans the sale of gas on Sundays, imposes a 50 mph speed limit for autos and a 55 mph speed limit for buses and trucks, prohibits Christmas lights outside homes and businesses, and bans inside and outside commercial lighting when businesses are closed. During a televised question-andanswer session in Orlando, Florida, President Nixon says, “People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook. I’ve earned everything I’ve got.” Nixon’s secretary Rose Mary Woods testifies that she caused the 18-minute
gap in the tape recording when she pressed the wrong button on the tape recorder. In Owego, construction begins on the new First City National Bank. Alfred J. Libous is re-elected mayor of Binghamton. Doris Scott and William Bennet are elected to the Town of Owego Council. Residents in the Town of Newark Valley vote to make it legal to sell alcohol in the town for the first time since Prohibition. However, the Town of Berkshire will remain dry. WSKG holds its second annual auction to raise money. The four-day auction features items such as a 1974 Pinto, a Twilight Zone script donated by Rod Serling, and a steel engraving from President Nixon; and raises over $19,000. Montgomery Wards celebrates its Grand Opening at the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City. The store has 85,000 square feet of selling space, a 16-bay auto service center, a cafeteria, and a bake shop. In response to the energy crisis, the Tioga County Legislature’s Building and Grounds Committee directs all county departments to keep their thermostats at 68 degrees. Top tunes in the Southern Tier include “Top of the World” by the Carpenters, “Angie” by the Rolling Stones, “Photograph” by Ringo Starr, and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” by Elton John. Friday night TV shows include “Sanford and Son,” “The Brady Bunch,” “Calucci’s Department,” “The Odd Couple,” “Room 222,” “The Girl with Something Extra,” “The Dean Martin Comedy Hour,” and “The Brian Keith Show.” Movies playing in local theaters include “The Way We Were,” “Charley Varrick,” “M*A*S*H,” “Fantasia,” “American Graffetti,” “That Darn Cat,” and “The Deadly Trackers”
