Apalachin Lions Club News Sight Night Sight Night places the focus on giving

this Halloween.

This year, some kids will collect more

than candy on Halloween. They’ll help

Give the Gift of Sight by gathering used

eyeglasses while they trick-or-treat in

our community.

Apalachin Lions along with Tioga

Hills and Apalachin Elementary School

will be collecting glasses from October

22 through November 1.

The used eyeglasses they collect will

be recycled and hand-delivered by Lens

Crafters and Lions Club volunteers to

people who can’t afford them in devel-

oping countries such as Mexico, Bolivia,

Laos, and Thailand.

Look for your used eyeglasses and

sunglasses in every nook and cranny of

your home or place of work. Someone

may come to your door looking for all

types of prescription and non-

prescription glasses. Children’s glasses

are especially in need, as they are in

high demand but in short supply. Wheth-

er they are big or small, fashionably ‘in’

or ‘out,’ your glasses could change how

someone in a developing country sees

the world.

If the “ghouls and boys” don’t make

it to your house on Sight Night, have no

fear. Used eyeglasses can be dropped off

year-round at all Lens Crafters stores or

the Apalachin Lions Club.

Runners Wanted - 5K Walk/Run The Apalachin Lions Club is hosting

its Inaugural 5K Walk/Run on October

20, 2012. It will be held at the Apalachin

Fireman’s Field Day Grounds at 10:00

am with Registration opening up at 9:00

am. The race will help to benefit the

Apalachin Lions Club Activities Fund,

with all proceeds going back into the

Apalachin/Little Meadows Communi-

ties. The entry fee for this is event is $18

(pre-registration and includes an official

race T-shirt) and $20 (day of the race,

with limited T-shirts available); also a

small snack will be available after the

race.

There will be prizes awarded to the

Over winner, Top Male, Top Female,

and several different ago brackets. There

will also be a Kids Fun Run during the

race.

Immediately following the 5K run the

Apalachin Fire Department will be host-

ing its annual fall Open House with a

Chicken BBQ starting at 12:00 Noon on

the grounds. For more information about

the run, visit www.apalachinlions.com

The Classic Death of a Salesman on the Ti-Ahwaga Stage

The Ti-Ahwaga Community Players

will present Arthur Miller's Death of a

Salesman October 5, 6, 7, October 12,

13, 14, and October 19, 20, 21 at the Ti-

Ahwaga Performing Arts Center, 42

Delphine Street in Owego.

Death of a Salesman revolves around

the last days of Willy Loman, a failing

salesman, who cannot understand why

he didn't win success and happiness.

Through a series of tragic, soul-

searching revelations of his life we dis-

cover how his quest for the 'American

Dream' kept him blind to the people who

truly loved him.

"There is no questioning the fact that

Death of a Salesman is a timeless and

classic work," director James Osborne

said. "The writing of Arthur Miller, one

of America’s most distinguished play-

wrights, contains several layers of fami-

ly dynamics and social commentary as

vibrant, relevant and powerful today as

it was at his writing of the play in 1948.

The challenge of directing this play is in

presenting Willy Loman, the common

man, with all of the deep emotions

evoked by his troubled family relation-

ships while surrounded by the power of

business and competition."

The cast includes Greg Fusare as

Willy Loman, Deb Schaaf as Linda Lo-

man, Stephen Marquardt as Biff Loman,

Ryan Kay as Happy Loman, Stan

Zawatsky as Charley, Reidan Pitarresi as

Bernard, Stacey Jo Oropello as The

Woman, Doug Benish as Howard Wag-

ner, Scott Douglas as Stanley, and Kate

Hoy as Miss Forsythe.

Shows start at 8:00 pm on Friday and

Saturday and at 2:00 pm on Sunday.

General admission is $18. Friday admis-

sion for students with ID cards is $10.

Sunday admission for seniors 60 and

over is $15. Fine wines, beers, soft

drinks and snacks are available to enjoy

at your table during the show, and there

isn't a bad seat in the house.

The show is underwritten in part by

Keith A. Nichols, MD, PLLC, and

Levene, Gouldin & Thompson, LLP. To

reserve seats, call the Ti-Ahwaga Per-

forming Arts Center at 687-2130 and log

on to www.tiahwaga.com for more in-

formation about the center.

escape route. Your plan should include a

meeting place and primary and second-

ary escape routes.

GREAT

IDEAS FOR

HALLOWEEN

Horse Missing in Apalachin/Owego Area Have you see this horse?

A riding accident around Noon on

August 22 resulted in a young 4-H girl's

horse running away. The horse, named

Ghostie, is a flea bitten grey (almost

white with little brown freckles all over),

about 14 hands (small horse/large pony

sized). He may still be wearing a black

synthetic saddle, and

a light brown bitless

bridle.

The accident oc-

curred in Apalachin,

in the vicinity of

McFall Road, McFad-

den Road, Rhodes

Road, the power

lines, etc. The horse

was tracked to the

Apalachin Creek the

day of the accident

but, has NOT been

seen since that day.

He may be very

shy and scared. He

could be anywhere in

the vicinity of Penn-

sylvania Avenue, near

Chestnut Ridge in

Apalachin, all the

way cross-country to Montrose Turnpike

in Owego where he lives.

If you see Ghostie, or see any signs of

him, or if you have any clues as to where

he may be, call Susan (607) 972-5523,

Holly (607) 687-1601, or Karen (607)

239-0229.

Artificial Christmas Trees Needed If you are thinking of discarding or

selling your artificial Christmas tree,

please consider donating it to the Tioga

County Historical Society Museum.

The museum's annual holiday event,

O Tannenbaum, depends heavily on arti-

ficial trees to raise money and provide

extra cheer for the community. Many of

the museum's artificial trees were de-

stroyed in last year's flood.

If interested, call (607) 687-2460, or

email [email protected].

The Tioga County Historical Society

Museum is at 110 Front Street in

Owego. Visit tiogahistory.org for more

information.

The Southern Tier Chapter of New York State Women, Inc. (formerly

Owego B P W) would like to express our gratitude to all the women and

men who fight for the right of women to receive a paycheck equal to that of

a man doing the same work with the same educational back ground.

Please make sure you take the time, on November 6, 2012, to cast your vote.

This is a valuable right and privilege that should never be taken for granted,

women-owned firms continue to grow in number and economic stature.

They are standing toe-to-toe with competitors in a broad range of industries,

including construction and transportation, where women-owned firms are

just as likely as all firms in those sectors to generate more than $500,000 in

annual revenue. The growth in the number (up 54 percent), employment (up

9 percent) and revenues (up 58 percent) of women-owned firms over the

past 15 years exceeds the growth rates of all but the largest, publicly-traded

firms. As of 2012, it is estimated that there are more than 8.3 million wom-

en-owned businesses in the United States, generating nearly $1.3 trillion in

revenues and employing nearly 7.7 million people, according to the second

annual “State of Women-Owned Businesses Report,” commissioned by

American Express.

Of the 10 million plus women-owned businesses in the U.S., only 3%

have annual revenue of more than $1 million dollars, compared to 6% of all

male-owned businesses. (Center for Women’s Business Research Reports)

Women business owners employ 35% more people than all Fortune 500

companies combined. (Source: JobProfile.com, February 2010)

Approximately 40 percent of all privately held firms in the Unites States

are at least 50% owned by women. (Source: Alice E.Eagly, and Linda

L.Carli, Through the Labyrinth, 2007).

Every day, an average of 1,400 to 1,600 women leaders are leaving For-

tune 500 companies to start their own businesses or work for competitors—

twice the rate of their male counterparts. (Source: Linda Coughlin, Ellen

Wingard, and Keith Hollihan, Enlightened Power, 2005).
