In Memoriam

March 8, 1933 - March 5, 2022

Theron S. Batistea

DELHI - Theron Simplicia Batistea passed away Saturday March 5, 2022. He was born to parents Theodore R. and Bertha (Parish) Batistea on March 8, 1933, in Delhi, NY, which is where he lived in his later years.

He served 3 years in the US Army, 2 years in the US Air Force and 5 years in the US Army National Guard. He was a veteran who was active during the Korea War but was stationed in Germany. After his military days he would work as a security officer all over NY State in many different assignments.

To know "Uncle Teddy" you knew he had a deep infectious laugh that would bring you to laughing with him. He loved to talk about his love of cars especially Cadillacs and Lincolns, his love of music and dancing and the love of his life that he had left behind in Germany. His greatest conversations were memories of his parents, his younger siblings and just the good old days. He truly was at peace and was happy he lived a long full life.

Taylor: We Should Be Alarmed

This administration values neither reliable data nor statistics: Last Friday, Trump fired a top statistician who had reported job numbers that displeased him. He attacked the messenger (a “political appointee!”) and the message (“rigged!”). His real message is clear: Tell him what he wants to hear, or you are out.…
