End of an Era

#22 Jeff played in what is expected to be the last East vs. West game last week. The School Board has decided to merge the sports teams as a cost saving measure.

2010 recipients of the Michael J Schwartz Memorial Scholarship from left Dieter Treusdell, Jeff Sienkiewicz, Schwartz's wife Karen, Joe Martuscello, Matt Nehring and Corning Painted Post Youth Lacrosse board member Kelly Nehring pose for a picture during halftime of the East West game.

Prettiest Mom

While I suppose this is an unfair venue to boast where the rest of you have little opportunity for rebuttal, I think this is a pretty safe bet.

My Mom is prettier than your Mom!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mom's red dress was made by her Mom, Lottie Cook (background). And she looks way to young in this picture for this little fact. That is her third grandchild, first granddaughter, also in the picture.. Mary Fay Schoonover.

Last Week at Work

I don't get a chance to get out of the office as much as I used to. Or would like. This past week I had the opportunity to visit some farms throughout the County. This is a few of the treasures I saw.

This expertly crafted, early 20th Century, stone fence stretched for a half mile, far from any road, seen by few. It is being torn down and the stone is sold to landscapers.

These windmills are quite a sight. You never really can imagine how large they are unless you can stand at the very base of one. Over 400' tall, you can't overlook them. Some see them as eyesores, some as graceful symbols of fossil fuel independence. For opponents, flickering and noise are the major complaints. The following video demonstrates both.

Finding shed antlers is pretty rare for me.

And if you have ever golfed, even half as poorly as I do, it's always neat to find some extra golf balls. These were found scattered about and buried in the dirt of a corn field, next to a camp grounds.
