20th Annual Callicoon Tractor Parade:

Small town values – one big paradeBY JEANNE SAGER

If you ask Katrina Graby, there arethree words that sum up theCallicoon Tractor Parade: “small

town values.”Those three words explain what the

parade is about but also how it is that20 years after a few tractors madetheir way down Main Street oneSunday in June the parade is now asmuch a part of the town as the his-toric Callicoon Theater or theDelaware Youth Center.

Those three words explain howGraby, who grew up in the hills aboveCallicoon, jumped into her first yearas lead organizer of the parade on itsanniversary year and decided to

After graduating the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor’s in Entrepreneurial Management, Katrina Graby moved back home andfound a job with Liberty Mutual Insurance. Wanting to give back to the community where she was raised, she took over as lead organizerof this year’s Callicoon Tractor Parade – the 20th Annual. That is dad’s John Deere tractor on the family farm overlooking Callicoon and apreview of this year’s Tractor Parade t-shirt – a must have!

shake things up. After all, she’s a small town girl who

graduated from Sullivan West, wentto college and came home to live and

work in the place where she grew up.And when Delaware Youth CenterPresident Cindy Menges told Grabythe facility could use some help withone of its biggest fundraisers, sheknew what she had to do.

“My summer memories are all atthe Youth Center,” Graby, who servesas vice president of the CallicoonBusiness Association, recalled, “I justfelt like I needed to do my part to giveback.”

But there's another piece too. Grabywas raised on the farm owned by herparents, Bill and Marie.

“Being back now, it’s amazing howmuch more I appreciate it,” she said,“how lucky I was. I mean my dadwould come home at 11 p.m. andmilk cows so he could be at my bas-ketball games.”

The tractors that make up theparade are a piece of her childhood, apiece of the life that drew her back toher small town.

“Watching [the parade] you canrelate to the people. You know thehard work they do. You can appreci-ate it so much more,” she said.

Q

She’s putting all that history and allthose memories into helping dozensof volunteers make this year’s tractorparade the biggest – and hopefullythe best – the Youth Center has everput on.

Her focus? The small town, of course. That’s meant hiring another Sulli-

van West graduate, graphic designerRJ Rosa, to design the iconic tractorparade t-shirt. It’s meant cancellingplans to hire an out-of-town businessto provide the chicken barbecue tra-ditionally served on the Youth Centergrounds after the parade, in favor ofhiring local caterer Kristal Whitmoreof Callicoon Kristal Bowl to provide afull spread, including chicken andpork.

It’s meant adding a tug-o-war tour-nament on the Youth Center groundsafter the parade is over, encouragingpeople to put together teams to com-pete, in the hopes that they will stay intown longer, donate to the Youth Cen-ter and stop in to the local businessestoo.

Callicoon might be a small town,but they pack a whole lot of value intoone big parade.

Be part of the first-ever

T heir marinades and salsasare homemade, the Frenchfries hand-cut, beer batter

made from scratch and the majorityof the veggies and meats are locallysourced.

The Callicoon Creamery, on Route17B, just a few steps off of LowerMain Street in Callicoon, is openunder new ownership and they’reserving up simple, home-cooked,mouth-watering, tasty food.

And when you’re craving some-thing cold and sweet? You can ordera cone of soft serve.

John Halloran and wife Lanae,bought the Creamery at the begin-ning of this year and officiallyreopened its doors on April 15.

“I’ve always had my eye on theCreamery. I think the building isbeautiful,” said Halloran. “I like howit’s perched here over the creek. It’sbigger and more professional, but

it’s not too big.”For the past 5 years Halloran, with

the help of Lanae, ran the Chuck

Wagon: their food truck which waslocated on the right hand side ofState Route 17B, just past the

Kountry Korner gas station inHortonville.

“My menu was limited because itwas so small inside the truck,” saidHalloran, “but I wanted to make surethe food I was making, was fromscratch. Whether it was pressing theburger patties or making fries by cut-ting up the potatoes, par-fryingthem so they’re nice and crispy withthe skin on. Then seasoning themwith garlic powder and salt.

“I also wanted to have options forvegetarians and something thatinvolved seafood,” continuedHalloran. “I really wanted some-thing that appealed both to localsand the weekend people, noteither/or. Everyone appreciates foodthat they know has been touched;made from scratch.”

The previous owners of theCallicoon Creamery were regularcustomers of the Chuck Wagon, and

John Halloran, wife Lanae and son “O” stand just in front of their new “baby,” the CallicoonCreamery.

after having a quiet conversationduring the fall together, Halloranhad new endeavors in store for him-self and his family.

The food truck closed aroundChristmas time of last year andHalloran began planning for a possi-ble take over of the CallicoonCreamery.

Once the sale was made, Halloranstarted prepping.

“When I started in April at theCreamery I really wanted to show-case the same menu that I hadbefore, but be able to expand on it,”smiled Halloran, “because I havemore storage, I have more ability toprep things. It’s great.”

And now, Halloran has about fiveemployees who are able to help withthe food service. At the food truckHalloran’s wife, Lanae, would helpprep but there was barely enoughroom for the two of them to bebehind the counter at the same time.

Gazing at the Creamery with ado-ration clearly evident in his eyes,Halloran said, “Now we can workside by side.”

Lanae, who likes to stay morebehind-the-scenes, makes most ofthe marinades, sauces and taco sal-sas herself.

“It’s a little stressful as we’re still inthe beginning phases of everything,”said Lanae, “but we’re excited. We’vehad a good following, and now peo-ple can have their food, plus dessert.

“A lot of new things are takingplace and we aim to please. We’repeople oriented. We love to connectwith others.”

On any given day, as you drive pastthe Creamery, cars can be seenparked out front and lined up acrossthe street, with a crowd gathered atthe window giving orders.

The Hallorans must clearly bedoing something right.

“There’s something about myburgers,” said John smiling, “I haveno idea what, but I have regulars thatcome once or twice a week just forthe burgers.

“I want everything to be good,”said Halloran. “I’m hoping to makethis place a fixture.”

The Falafel wrap from the CallicoonCreamery is a little bit of healthy, the perfectkind of spicy and the right amount of cucum-ber-saucy to keep you feeling satisfied.

My grandmother was a phenomenalbaker of classic Eastern Europeanstyle, no recipes. Just a pinch of thisor a pinch of that but it was alwaysperfect,” Barnett said, as if gazinginto the memories coming forwardin her mind. “I have vivid memoriesof waking up with music playing on aSunday and my mother was havingpeople over.

“She would make these bomberGreek salads. Everything was alwayshandmade. I remember orange-

strawberry smoothies, crazy frozenbaked goods and merengues. It wasalways the works with her, on abudget, but she always did it well.”Barnett strives to do the same at CafeAdella Dori with every option hand-made, starting slow, in order to getcomfortable with the flow, and to seewhat people are looking for.

Starting with just a few items on themenu, Barnett wants to make every-thing well and keep her style of foodfun and interesting. Being familiar

with the growing season here in thenortheast, Barnett knows what toexpect, what’s coming and likes touse what’s available to her: dande-lion and chickweed greens, parsnips,stinging nettle, etc.

“I like to do things beautifully andit’s important for things to lookgood,” explained Barnett, “but there’snothing frilly about me. I tend towork with people that have thatsame sensibility.

“And we have a no waste policy. Iwant to use up everything I can andsee what I can use that’s just outsidemy door. When we are out of BeachLake Bakery’s challah bread, we usethe ends to make bread pudding andit’s delicious.”

So whether you’re looking to chatover coffee or tea, enjoy homemadebaked goods, or fill up at lunch time,Cafe Adella Dori is a must.

From the left, Trina Pilonero, Gina Abatemarco, Lee Houck and Tara LaRuffa sit and chat withCafe Adella Dori owner Eva Barnett, as they enjoy a taste of some of her fresh, locallysourced menu items.

Fresh flowers sit on every table, warm sunlight pours in through the front windows and oldphotographs of owner Eva Barnett’s grandmother and mother line the walls of Cafe AdellaDori.

The gift of life for Bryce

Neversink youth, 8, gets heart transplant

BY JEANNE SAGER

NEVERSINK — The Tues-

day night when life changed

for the Rogerson family was

just like any other.

With a planned two-hour

delay for the Tri-Valley

School District the next day,

8-year-old Bryce and 5-year-

old Bryan had been given a

pass to stay up late and watch

a movie together. Sixteen-

year-old Emily was doing

what teenagers do on a

school night. Dad Brian was

on a hunting trip in Alabama,

so mom Nicole was snuggling

in bed, watching TV by her-

self. And then the phone rang.

It was a pediatric nurse

familiar with little Bryce’s

congenital heart condition.

After nearly three years on

the transplant list, there was

a heart waiting for Bryce.

“I said ‘Are you kidding

me?’ ” Nicole recalls. “I was

literally skipping up and

down the hallway!”

It was a call the Rogersons

weren’t sure would ever

come. Bryce was diagnosed

with hypoplastic left heart

syndrome (HLHS) before he

was even born, after a routine

ultrasound at 18 weeks

picked up an anomaly.

HLHS – a syndrome in which

the left side of a child's heart

was underdeveloped – is one

of the three most common

heart issues a child can be

born with, but it can be fatal

if left untreated.

To increase the Bryce’s

chances, Nicole underwent

in utero surgery at just 26

weeks pregnant to open up a

hole in his heart to allow

blood to flow properly and

help him develop in the

womb. Ten days after he was

born in February 2005, Bryce

underwent his first open

heart surgery. At 8 months, he

had another, and in October

of 2008, a third open heart

surgery.

But in 2010 came a devas-

tating diagnosis. Bryce had

developed plastic bronchitis,

a condition of the lungs most

common in cystic fibrosis

patients. Rubbery chunks of

mucus had begun develop-

ing in his lungs, making him

struggle to breathe. Although

the issue presents itself in the

lungs, doctors put the blame

on his heart, which pumps

oxygenated blood to the

lungs. By 2011, doctors told the

Rogersons their best choice

would be to put Bryce on the

transplant list – for a heart. A

new heart, they told them,

would take pressure off the

lungs and hopefully allow

them to heal themselves.

On March 25, 2011, Bryce

was added to the transplant

list with what’s known as 1B

status, the second from the

top. At the time, doctors told

the Rogersons that listing

him at 1A – the highest and

most needy status – would

require Bryce to wait in a hos-

pital for a heart to be found.

But with Bryce able to take

his medication at home, the

Rogersons opted to keep him

in Neversink, to allow him to

continue attending school

and be with his family.

They were told it would

take six months to a year to

find him a heart.

On June 25, 2013, more

than two years later, his heart

hadn’t come. The Rogersons

moved their son up to 1A sta-

tus, the top of the transplant

waiting list.

At that time, doctors had

changed their mind and said

Bryce could stay home and

wait. They told the Rogersons

it would probably be a month

or two until a heart was

found. It was almost seven months

until the call came.

That was January 14, the

night Nicole called a friend to

watch Bryan and packed her

other two kids into the car to

fly over the roads to Morgan

Stanley Children’s Hospital at

Columbia Presbyterian in

New York City. Bryce was cry-

ing, Nicole recalls, but his

biggest worry was “how am I

going to turn in my home-

work?” “I told him your teacher

isn’t going to worry about

your writing assignment.”

Husband Brian had just

arrived in Alabama for his

hunting trip and couldn’t find

a flight north, so he rented a

car in Montgomery and

drove straight through the

night to Atlanta, Georgia, for

the earliest flight to

LaGuardia, a 6 a.m. that he

hoped would get him there in

time to see his little boy

before he went into surgery.

Brian’s plane left late, but

the fates aligned – because of
