Tepee’s Long-Extinguished Neon Sign To Glow Again TEPEE/From B1 ing a reception 7:30-9 p.m.

Saturday, July 12. (RSVP on Facebook or at 2643987.)

For years, the sisters have wanted to fix it. “Everything in time,� said Donna, adding, “We’ve been working on other repairs.�

Looking at the metalsheathed upside-down cone, the height of four or five tall

people standing on each others’ shoulders, you can see how that has been the case.

Most recent, the structure was repainted.

Fixing the neon sign, however, was always on the sisters’ minds, and no doubt brother “Tepee Pete�

Latella’s as well; he operates the adjoining hot-dog stand that specializes in seven-pepper chili.

The family got a nudge from Jeff Friedman, operator of the Let There Be Neon, a lighting studio in New York City, who also owns a weekend home down in the village.

The Latellas turned the sign over to Friedman, who “lovingly restored it� over the winter, a project that involved removing a bird’s nest, Dale said.

Inside the workings, Friedman also discovered the sign had been repurposed for a souvenir show; previously, it had served an ice-cream stand.

The sisters surmise the sign goes back to 1950, when Ken and Iris Gurney erected The Tepee at Route 54 and North Road, just past today’s Cherry ValleySpringfield Central School.

Or perhaps it was added in 1954, when the Gurneys,

In 2011, the landmark was listed on both the state and national registers of historic places, and it’s part of many people’s personal histories. “What’s wonderful is people who have been here for years – for years,� said Donna.

‘Chief Uncas’ Leads 40 Boats In First Lake Association Boat Parade

L

ou Hager’s “Chief Uncas,” seen returning to Three Mile Point, won the Antique/Class category at the first annual Otsego Lake Association Boat Parade on the evening of the Fourth of July. Other winners were: Joyful/Party Decor, Disney, Tom and Kathy Chase; Humorous, Santa/Noel, Keith and Kay Addition; Patriotic, Otsego Sheriff’s Marine 3, Don Raddatz. Some 40 boats participated, cruising from Three Mile Point to Lakefront Park and back.

Paul Donnelly/The Freeman’s Journal

Tom Morgan Moves From Playwright/Actor To Director MORGAN/From B1 est play, “Leaving Something Behind,” which opens at 4 p.m. Sunday, July 13, at the Players of Utica theater, 1108 State St. The second show, at 7 p.m. Monday, July 14, will feature a Q&A with Morgan, as well as director Eileen Tiller-Clanton, who also plays the mother, and Rayna Schneider, who plays the daughter.

The show centers around the mother and daughter as they reveal and unravel ugly

truths, shocking revelations and painful memories. “The primal issue is control,” said Morgan. “It’s an issue that’s as old as time – you see it in ancient Greek tragedy, in George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera.” It reverberates, it’s very central to our lives.”

But he insisted that the show isn’t as grim as it might seem. “The mother is a very ditzy, Edith Bun-

ker type,” he said. “So that brings some laughs, and the daughter has a very sardonic sense of humor.”

He tried out the script in late 2013 with a staged reading at SUNY Oneonta.

“The audience really loved it,” he said. “I took it to Rayna to see if she could get it produced.”

Still the voice behind “Tom Morgan’s Moneytalk,” the longest-running short feature in American radio – it’s been on the air

for 36 years – Tom turned to playwriting after retiring as a financial adviser. “I had done just about every other kind of writing,” he said. “I had written about the Empire Hotel in my columns, and Franklin Stage asked me to do a reading of some of those stories.”

He took it one step further and wrote a one-man show.

“That’s when I became a playwright and an actor,” he said. “And that was an adventure!”

In 2008-11, Morgan’s “Tales of the Empire” series, based on his father’s proprietorship of the so-named Gilbertsville hotel, was a staple at the Franklin Stage Company. “Leaving Something Behind” is Morgan’s fifth play and the first he isn’t starring in. “I think it will tug at the audience’s heartstrings,” he said. “This kind of story gets inside people.”

And from here, he hopes the play can be performed in larger venues. “I’d love to take it to Broadway!” he said. “What the heck, I’ll aim high!”

Royalty from Cherry Valley – Miss Demeanor and Miss Understood – were again big hits at the Springfield Fourth of July Parade, among the nation’s oldest, when it marked its 100th year.

Retired Bassett physician Roger MacMillan, Cooperstown, ferried family members along the parade route in his antique Ford.

Sean Miller, marching with the Cherry Valley Volunteer Fire Department, sported the brightest red beard of the day.

Why is this woman smiling? Deb Miller had successfully chaired the 100th Anniversary Springfield Fourth of July Parade.
