Two Area Residents Die In One-Vehicle Accidents Arkville Man Phoenicia, July 20.—Highway accidents in the Phoenicia- Boiceville area durng the last week claimed the life of a 33- year-old Arkville man, critical ly injured a ^ r l bicyclist and caused minor injuries to a 93- year-old driver. George Magliocco was pro nounced dead on arrival at Kingston hospital after a one- car accident at Boiceville last week Thursday night. Mary Ann iBachor, 17, of Boiceville is in the Benedictine hospital with injuries suffered when her bicycle was hit by a car Sun day afternoon. JosejAi Guttman lost control of his car later Sun day afternoon, and the vehicle struck an office building along the Chichester road. State police of the Kingston station reported that Magliocco was driving his 1961 Dodge pickup along route 28 about 11:40 p.m. Thursday. Near the intersection of the upper Boice- . ville road the vehicle went out of control and struck guard rails, ejectin^j the driver: It then continued down the road and overturned before landing on its roof. Magliocco was found on the fence his truck had struck. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, but pronounced dead of head and internal injuries. Miss Bachor was riding along route 28 in the company of an other bicyclist, Jo Ann Avery, 18, also of Boiceville, in the direction of Mount Tremper. About a mile east of Phoenicia, a 1972 sedan operated by Kat- suabura Hanawa, 49, of New York city swerved off the pave ment and hit Miss Bachor's bike, which was on the shoul der. She was knocked to the ground. The driver then lost control of the car, which crossed to the left side of the highway, went off the road and down a steep embankment, where it crashed into a tree at the edge of the adjoining woods. The town of Shandaken am bulance took the Bachor girl to the hospital, where she was found to be suffering from head and internal injuries. Constaibles Jack Schlegel and James Short investigated and issued a summons for failure to keep right to Hanawa. The driver is to appear in Shanda ken justice court later. Guttman was driving south on the Chichester road about 5 pjn. As the aged driver lost control of his 1961 sedan, the vehicle failed to make a slight left curve. It struck down six guard posts on the right side of the road, mowed picket fenice «tnd wood, posts and hit a sipruce tree before striking the rK>rth side of the office building owned by Town Sup^- visor Raymond J. Dunn. Portions of the siding on one corner were, broken away. In side the building, however, shelves and other equipment on the wall were knocked down. Mr. Dunn, who was not at home, reported extensive dam age in the interior. Mrs. Ellen K r e m e n e z k y , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, was sitting on the lawn at the time of the crash. She assisted the aged man from the wrecked car and summoned the town of Shandaken ambulance a n d Constable Schlegel. Mr. Gutt- man declined medical attention. The car was towed away by a wrecker. D r i v e r E s c a p e s a s U p s e t T r u c k B u r n s The driver of a loaded cement truck escaped without serious injury Monday afternoon when the vehicle overturned on the Deer Run road in the town of Roxbury and burst into flames. George Kelder, 31, of Fleisch- manns was shaken up and was to see his own doctor about back pains Wednesday. The truck, owned by Slavin Ready-Mix Concrete of Fleisch- ■manns, was a total loss as flames ripped through the body and cab. A power take-off shaft broke and triggered the acci dent. The truck was proceeding up hill. As the shaft, which drives the mixer body broke, it en snared the right front tire, which blew out, causing the driver to lose steering control. As the machine went off the road to the right, it flipped over on its right side, and as the flames broke out, Kelder scrambled upward to safety through the driver’s door. Charles Zerella and Anthony De Risi, who live on the road, brought out a fire extinguisher. Roxbury firemen were on the scene in 12 minutes and doused the flames. A car-motorcycle accident in Fleischmanns Monday resulted in injuries to a young Long Island girl. Claudia LaPorte, 15, of Hicksville was a passen ger on a motorcycle operated by C. F. Smalkowski, 18, of Bellmore, N. Y., when the motorcycle was struck by a car operated by Thelma Oster- houdt, 52, of Pine Hill as she attempted to make a right turn off Main street onto the Hal- cott Center road. Both the driver of the motorcycle and Miss LaPorte were thrown to the pavement. She was treated by Dr. Abra ham Rottkov for a bruised left foot and then taken to the Margaretville Memorial hospi tal for x-rays. There were no tickets issued. T i r e C e n t e r H i t state police of the Margaret ville station are continuing an investig-ation into a break-in at the Becker Tire Center in Grand Gorge. Entry was gained to the building Friday night through a broken window. A small amount of cash, a box of chrome lug nuts and a lug wrench were stolen. The items were valued at $50.

She was a passenger in a car operated by her grandson, Richard Dam- gaard, 23, also of Bovina Cen ter. State police of the Oneonta station reported that the car was en route from Oneonta to Bovina when the driver appar ently fell asleep. The late model Buick swerved off the south shoulder of the road and traveled 240 feet across a field before hitting a tree stump. The impact threw Mrs. Barn hart through the front wind shield. The car landed on its top, then rolled over on its wheels. Mrs. Barnhart had been on her way home after visiting her husband, James A. Barnhart, who is a patient in Fox hospi tal. She was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Harry Wil bur, Delaware county medical examiner. Mrs. Barnhart’s funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the Bovina Center United Pres byterian chiu-ch.

Injured in the crash were Nicholas Latawiec, 67, and his wife, Eugenia, both of Lincoln Park, N. J. State police of the Marga retville station reported that the Latawiec car was north bound on route 28 approaching a left hand curve when the car ran off the pavement. Latawiec overcorrected the steering, causing the car to cross the highway, skid 180 degrees and turn over. The car came to a stop on its top in the ditch on the left side of the road. Taken by ambulance to the Margaretville Memorial hospi tal, Mrs. Latawiec was admitted and treated for abrasions and bruises of the left shoulder and arm.

Herd Depletion There Will Be No Party Permits Issued For Catskill Deer Hunt C h u rch M a rking 50th A n n iv e rsary St. James Episcopal church at Lake Delaware will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the cor nerstone laying of the present church next week. The corner stone was laid Tuesday, July 25, 1922, and the 50th anniver sary also falls on a Tuesday.

Party permits will be avail able this fall in seven of the nine deer management areas in central and western New York, but none will be issued for the Adirondacks or Catskills, Com missioner of Environmental Conservation Henry L. Diamond announced Monday. Action by the 1972 Legisla ture extended the department’s authority to issue party permits as a sound deer management tool, but excluded the Adiron dacks from this authority, along with portions of the Catskills. Heavy starvation resulting from short food supplies during three severe winters sharply reduced eastern deer pecula tions, particulariy in the under harvested and over-ibrowsed range of the Northern Zone. Where party permits are available, party sizes are gen erally large to permit as many hunters as possible to partici pate in the hunt. Party sizes are from two to four members for landowner permits and four to six for regular permits. Ap plications will be available in late summer and must be siib- mitted, along with party mem bers’ big game license stubs by Saturday. Sept. 16. As was the case last season, no money need be submitted wtih the initial applications. Only those parties whose ap plications are selected by com puter will be notified to remit their party fee of $5 to the De partment. A total of 21,200 permits will be availafble this season. As has been the case in the past, up to 50 per cent of the permits in each deer management unit £ure available for qualified Ismdowner parties. A person must own 50 or more acres in one parcel in a deer management imit to qualify for a landowner permit in that management luiit. Unit 74, covering portions of Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Oneida and Onondaga counties, and Unit 80, covering portions of Broome, Chemung, Schuyler, Tioga and Tranpkins counties, are the nearest party permit areas to the Catskills. The big game season opens Oct. 25 in the Northern zone and Nov. 20, the third Monday in November, in the Southern zone. Closing day is Dec. 5, the first Tuesday in December in all areas. The 1972-73 Hunt ing and Fishing Guide wiU be available with details ait all license-issuing ilocatiOTis in late summer.
