Micklem, Roland T.
SAVANNAH, NY AND STAUNTON, VA: Roland Micklem, age 89, died peacefully on May 6, 2018. He was born on October 10, 1928 to Alice Cook Micklem and Austen C. Micklem, Sr. in Woodlawn, Virginia, the third of four sons. Roland was married to Carolyn Derby Micklem in 1951 and is the father of Susan (James Gallaher), Sarah (Cornelius Eady), and Norman (Mekia Zedaker Micklem) and the grandfather of Cody Gallaher, and Parker and Olivia Micklem. He is survived by his brothers James T. Micklem and Colbert Micklem. Roland served his country in Korea as a paratrooper in the Army Air Borne, then attended college at William and Mary (VA) and graduated from the Cornell College of Agriculture in 1954 with a major in ornithology, conservation and education. He then worked for the Rochester School District for 15 years, teaching science and biology to grades 7-10, and then 7 more years as a home tutor. In the mid 1970’s Roland joined a collective (Cleareye, in Savannah) that distributed whole and natural foods. He worked there for 20 years, then part-time for another 10. Roland was a naturalist, a writer, an avid bicyclist, an irrepressible joke and story teller, a musician and a songwriter. He was a Christian who lived his faith each day, sought to find peaceful resolution to conflict, had respect for people of all colors, religions and cultures and a deep appreciation of all life on Earth. As a follower of St. Francis, Roland believed we were put on this earth to be the stewards of the natural world and its creatures. He recognized climate change decades before our current understanding and called attention to its causes and what each of us could do to slow and reverse the change. He never stopped learning, or teaching children the wonder of the natural world, and reminding each of us of our responsibility to nourish and protect our Mother Earth for the next generations. As an elder, he continued to write letters and articles, he sat-in, he marched-on, he fasted, he got arrested. Stewardship was the act of living. A celebration of Roland’s life will be held on Sunday, July 22 at 1:30 pm at the Rose Union Community Building, 10734 School Street, in Rose, New York.

Column: …and yes, I hate NYC
I have said it before, many times. I hate New York City. That being said, we (Wife Patti, with me in tow) will be heading there again next month.
These trips are planned many months in advance. Due to our harsh newspaper schedule, we only have a brief window of travel time. Leave on Saturday morning, fly into JFK, cab to the boutique hotel, drop off bags and begin two days of hell.
Hell is usually a well defined schedule of pre-determined Broadway shows booked well in advance.
Over the past many decades we have seen just about every record breaking hit and star you can imagine. Thanks to Wife Patti’s keen observations and booking skills we have seen primary weeks inPhantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Book of Mormon, you name it.
Mind you, we do not travel all that way to see just one show. Wife Patti packs two days with the usual four shows full of musicals, plays with NYC fine dining squeezed in between breaks.
On the planned trip to NYC we are seeing the musical SpongeBob SquarePants, Come From Away, and the two part playHarry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Yes, it is exhausting. Yes, I hate NYC and cannot wait to board the flight home to beloved Wayne County on Monday morning. Yes, I complain right up to stepping on to the plane and again right up to getting off.
The upside is that this Wayne County newspaper’s hard working couple have
seen some pretty good culture along the way. Oh, sure, she (Wife Patti) has picked a few stinkers, but even those have provided a few laughs and memories.
In addition to our trips to NYC, we are yearly subscribers to GEVA Theater, other regional theaters, travel to Toronto, Syracuse, Shaw Festival, etc.
We are part of only 5% of people who see live performances in theater in this country. That is a sad percentage and I cannot stress the importance of supporting the live arts in America.
Yes, I am an ardent TV and movie buff, but the real excitement of live theater cannot be matched.
I hate award shows. The phony speeches, cheap laughs, political innuendos, etc., but we actually love watching the annual production of The American Theater Wing’s Tony awards. (Last Sunday) Mostly the production numbers. We also love the Broadway station on SiriusXM radio. Okay, perhaps I am a bit geeky, but it is my only fault, trust me.
Yes, all this quick travel and Broadway excursion is expensive, but we save up and this is the only real break we get in the 24/7 newspaper business. Besides, if all works out as planned, I have absolutely no intention of leaving anything for the kids upon my departure.
No, kids, I am not kidding!

Column: June Football
Let’s be honest about a few things, shall we?
It’s June. And it’s a slow time in the sports world, yet, somehow, the NFL is the most talked-about subject.
Terrell Owens’ Hall-of-Fame induction plans, Tom Brady’s love-ish/hate relationship with Bill Belichick and his future, along with stories of Buffalo Bills players heading into makeor- break seasons and discussions of who should start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns are trumping NBA stories, the World Cup, a US Open purists would love to forget, and baseball walkoffs that mean more come September, but will be long forgetten.
Even in June, when the world’s eyes are on futbol, our football in America is the most important topic.
Why? It’s long, but pretty simple, and it goes back to childhood.
Unlike baseball, basketball, and hockey, playing in a travel league from the age of 5 is not requirement to land some kind of scholarship or looks from scouts. No weekend stays in hotels, no pitch counts between schools and prep leagues, no AAU leagues, and little equipment being purchased. If you’re good in high school, it’s onto college, or the JuCo level. Simple.
While on that subject, games are once a week, typically on everyone’s favorite night. Football is geared to the weekend: high school on Friday, college on Saturday, pros on Sunday. America has more people NOT working during those times than the rest of the week. It’s the perfect sport for playtime, and a fan can live-and-die weekto- week, instead of night-to-night.
The other thing you have in football? Urgency. One loss can destroy a high school or college season. One loss in the NFL is the difference between hosting a playoff game or having to travel to Foxboro(ugh).
By the way, did you see the Supreme Court’s ruling a couple weeks ago on pro sports betting? Sure, Albany and Don Cuomo-leone will take their sweet ole’ time figuring out how to screw everyone before legalizing it themselves, but in regards to a sport where scoring comes in threes and sevens, and fantasy requires minimal commitment. The sports are tougher to bet on.
There’s another thing the NFL oddly has going for it that one could think benefit baseball: up until the 1990s, it
played an also-ran in terms of popularity. So, unlike the American Pastime, where the past lives with the present and Heaven forbid we tinker or experiment with rules, the NFL was able to tweak its game with little outrage both administratively and within the rules.
There were no records to protect. Also, the league tried to ensure parity and not allow the rich the best chances to win every year, allowing every fanbase a belief it’s team had as much a chance to win any other.
Baseball and hockey have spent too much time in their respective pasts, protecting records from eras predating segregation, or trophies named after dead Canadians who spent as much time on ice as Satan. (Not to be confused with Miroslav Satan.) Speaking of which, here are some things hurting the other sports: * Soccer: We’ve been told it’s coming and coming and coming, and yet, Team USA is nowhere to be found thanks to a loss to a makeshift Trinidad and Tobago team. Hence, World Cup ratings are down. Go figure.
Another? Unlike most American sports, the game has few situations. Baseball changes with every pitch. Football, every down and distance. Basketball, every foul, every bucket. Soccer? Wait for a goal, a card, or a faked seizure.
* Baseball: The geeks have made teams better, but made the game worse. They’re longer. And with the increase of the bomb-or-strikeout hitters’ mentality, the game has become more boring. Long and boring. Just what baseball needs.
Not to mention, when you read an article on your team, you often need a stats glossary nearby, which changes all the time.
Forget the fact both attendance and ratings are down, and the game’s best player, Mike Trout–who plays in Los Angeles–is less recognizable than the faces in the Headscratchers section.
* Basketball: As LeBron goes, so goes hoops. The NCAA is watereddown and the AAU has helped destroy it. But, thanks to The King, it’s now the second-highest rated pro sport. For now… Yet, people only care during the Conference Finals, the Finals, and free agency. The regular season is a snoozefest.
* Hockey: Simply put, it’s the most unrelatable game in sports. At least golf has sun, Tiger Woods, Putt-Putt and grass.
Despite concussions, injuries, broken bones, punch-drunk retirees, anthem kneelers, and Trumpisms, football isn’t going anywhere.
Even during its hibernation month of June.

Running for a reason
Wayne County native Davina Mc-Naney is on the run again.
Three years after completing a two week, multi-state personal marathon, McNaney has set out on her second journey to raise awareness for breast cancer research.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and undergoing several surgeries over the next few years, Mc-Naney decided to run.
Not from the cancer. She faced that head-on.
Instead she decided to run from Michigan all the way back to her home town of Sodus Point.
The 470 mile journey took her across four states, raising $23,000 in donations for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Now living outside Boston, Mc-Naney left on Friday with her sights once again fixed on Sodus Point.
Scheduled to finish at
the fireman’s basbeall field in the village on July 3rd, McNaney will be covering 25-30 miles a day, all the while spreading a message of hope and sharing the importance of cancer research and earlydetection.
“Whether it’s getting a mammogram, reaching out to someone dealing with cancer, donating to BCRF or facing a new challenge, I’m excited to see the positive waves that result from my 12 days on the road,” she says.
Friends and supporters are encouraged to come support McNaney as she finishes in the Point, just in time for the Forth of July festivities.

Lawmakers adjourn with many issues left unresolved
By David Klepper and Chris Carola
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York lawmakers wrapped up their 2018 session with most of the year’s biggest issues left unresolved.
The Republican-led Senate adjourned early Thursday, a few hours after the Democratic-led Assembly left the Capitol. The session came to a bumpy end after attempts to reach compromise on a number of issues fell flat.
Legislation that would have renewed the state law authorizing 140 speed cameras in New York City school zones passed the Assembly but not the Senate, meaning the devices will now be inactivated. A measure that would have overhauled teacher evaluations also failed to pass both chambers, as did proposals to improve school security.
“The Senate Republicans wanted what they want and it didn’t really matter what other people want,” said Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx.
The Senate’s GOP members favored additional funds for armed school security, while Democrats in the Assembly wanted to allow teachers to petition a judge to confiscate firearms from the homes of troubled students.
“We should be talking about the package of school safety bills that we’ve done that has not been given the light of day or the time of day in the Assembly,” Senate Leader John Flanagan, R-Long Island, said of
the dispute over school safety.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo stayed largely behind the scenes during the session’s final days. Instead of the traditional meetings with legislative leaders or an end-of-session press conference, Cuomo appeared on several television news programs discussing federal issues, including his opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
The session’s difficult final day in many ways mirrored the entire sixmonth session, plagued by gridlock and legislative malaise. Several highprofile measures never got a vote in both chambers, including measures to authorize sports betting, extend the statute of limitations on child molestation, eliminate cash bail in most criminal cases and address the state’s chronic corruption problem.
Gridlock in the state Senate was behind much of the disarray. Republicans control the chamber, but don’t have a true majority and only stay in charge thanks to the support of a lone renegade Democrat, Sen. Simcha Felder, of Brooklyn. The GOP’s weak grip on the Senate empowered the Assembly, which was able to reject or block many of the other chamber’s proposals during negotiations to end the session.
Democrats are optimistic the fall elections could hand them control of the state Senate. Republicans have vowed to hold on to Senate control.

Report finds industrial chemicals more toxic than thought
by Ellen Knickmeyer
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) A family of industrial chemicals turning up in public water supplies around the country is even more toxic than previously thought, threatening human health at concentrations seven to 10 times lower than once realized, according to a government report released Wednesday.
The chemicals are called perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl. They were used in such goods as fire-suppressing foam, nonstick pans, fast-food wrappers, and stainresistant fabric and carpet, but are no longer used in U.S. manufacturing. Water sampling has found contamination in water around military bases, factories and other sites.
Exposure at high levels is linked to liver damage, developmental problems and some forms of cancer, among other risks.
A draft of the report, by the Department ofHealth and Human Services’ toxicology office, had set off alarms within the Trump administration earlier this year. A January email from a White House official, releasedunder the Freedom of Information
Act, referred to the findings as a “potential public relations nightmare.”
The draft went under months of government review before Wednesday’s publication, but the key finding, that the chemicals are dangerous at specific levels much lower than previously stated, was not changed.
The EPA, which scheduled a series of hearings on the chemicals, said last month that it would move toward formally declaring the two most common forms of PFAS as hazardous substances and make recommendations for groundwater cleanup, among other steps.
U.S. manufacturers agreed in 2006 to an EPA-crafted deal to stop using one of the most common forms of the chemical in consumer products.
The findings will likely lead state and local water systems with the contaminant to boost filtering.
“The more we test, the more we find,” Olga Naidenko, a science adviser to the Environmental Working Group nonprofit, said Wednesday.

Unraveling the gas pump ‘card skimmer gang’
The complaints piled up, unsuspecting customers at gas pumps thought that using their credit cards was a safe way to fill up with fuel. Throughout the East Coast, a gang of ‘legal’ Cubans, believed to be working for drug cartels, placed sophisticated “card skimmers” inside fuel pumps. Once secretly installed in gas pumps, these “skimmers” allowed the gang members to download a customer’s credit card information.
It is believed by federal and state law enforcement agencies that the gang’s trip started in Miami, traveled throughout the country, downloading the credit card information and either buying gift, or ‘yellow’ Visa cards at such stores as Walmart. Some of the credit card information was forwarded to an address in Nebraska. There, cloned credit cards, using the stolen information, were created. It is believed the vast profits from the skimming were then sent back to Miami.
The ‘skimmer’ devices were so sophisticated that gang members needed only to drive up to the infected pumps to download the stolen credit information via a laptop computer. It was then e-mailed to the Nebraska location.
At their prime, it is believed the skimmers were forwarding close to a million dollars per week to the Miami bosses.
Locally, gas stations in Macedon and Palmyra fell victim to the ‘skimmers’. Livingston, Ontario, Monroe counties saw multiple locations where secretly installed ‘skimmers’ did their work.
On November 1, 2017, the first reports of ‘skimmer’ victims surfaced in Macedon at the convenience store at Route 31 and Wayneport Road. The skimmers also popped up at a location in the Village of Palmyra.
Unfortunately for the Skimmer gang, but fortunately for police, the ‘gang’ went to use one of the stolen card numbers at the accompanying Walmart store, while the victim was in the store. “It was perfect timing,” said one of the investigating officers.
Police found the transaction on store surveillance and matched it to a vehicle the ‘gang’ was using. The large truck was stopped in Palmyra and seized on December 9. Three search warrants were evoked, and, in one warrant, it was discovered a hidden 100 gallon gas tank that the ‘gang’ undoubtedly used stolen credit card information to refill. It was also believed the truck, with the extra gas tank, may have been used to refill drug runners vehicles travelling up the east coast.
On April 13, using a Homeland Security x-ray device, police found a hidden stash of 270 cloned credit cards in the seized truck.
Working with agencies across the country, two of the individuals were arrested in Seward County, Nebraska. Both were jailed on $100,000 cash bail and local agencies were notified and hoped to extradite the two back to New York.
It was discovered the ‘gang’ had used a truck that accumulated over 33,000 miles from June until its seizure in December.
Carlos E. Cabrera-Quintero
Macedon Police reported the arrest on Thursday (6/14) at 3 p.m. of Carlos E. Cabrera-Quintero, age 26, of Grand Island, Nebraska.
The arrest followed a lengthy investigation into the alleged use of the multiple skimmer devices at local gas stations and the use of personal identification information to make fraudulent purchases.
Cabrera-Quintero was charged with Felony Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument 2nd, Felony Identity Theft 1st, Unlawful Possession of Personal Identification Information 3rd, and Petit Larceny. He was arraigned in Macedon Court and remanded to the Wayne County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash/$20,000 bond.
The Macedon Police Department was assisted by the New York State Police,Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, and the United States Department of Homeland Security. This investigation is ongoing.Cabrera- Quintero was again arrested on Wednesday (6/20) by State Police out of Lyons for Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the 2nd and Felony Identity Theft in the 1st Degree for the Palmyra skimmer incidents. He was remanded back to jail on an additional $5,000 cash bail. More charges are expected.
How successful can the ‘skimmers’ be? How big a risk is it?
There are no reliable statistics on the extent of skimming, since it is a local crime and not centrally tracked, but experts say it is definitely on the rise.
According to the National Association for Convenience Stores:37 million Americans refuel every day. Of them, 29 million pay for fuel with a credit or debit card.
When skimming occurs at a gas station, it usually takes place at only one pump. A single compromised pump can capture data from 30 to 100 cards per day.
According to Personal Finance Writer, Susan Ladika, writing for creditcards. com, during 2017 the number of compromised ATMs and point-ofsale devices rose 8 percent, according to data FICO released in March 2018. Meanwhile, the number of compromised cards climbed 10 percent.
That comes on the heels of a 70 percent jump in the number of payment cards compromised U.S. ATMs and merchants in 2016, according to FICO.
Until fueling pumps read EMV chip cards, gas stations will be “one of the last bastions” for thieves, says Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center.
Macedon Sergeant Steve MacNeal stated “I would emphasize that, while this organization is probably tied in with drug cartels, the personal information that was skimmed was NOT provided to the cartel. I don’t want people to panic thinking the drug cartels have their personal information. I would encourage anyone who notices fraudulent activity to contact their financial institution.”
