The show, “The World’s Astonishing News!� only aired in Japan, but it was the first step in the Oneontan’s

After returning from Ohio, he moved to New York City and started looking for more work. “I thought I wanted to be a model, but that was the stupidest thing ever!

Given the Susquehanna continues on to Oneonta and Cooperstown, it just made sense to him that the trail would pass through here as well. And how, he discovered. “This was a major part of the anti-slavery A plaque on the Hartwick Seminary & Academy story, this area, right here,” site south of Cooperstown depicts what was a said Matthews, tapping his hotbed of anti-slavery sentiment. forefinger audibly on the Mission table in the front of which named Unadilla, Ford, one of Oneonta’s the room.

But the clincher was Matthews’ discovery of an article in the Aug. 1, 1860, edition of The Oneonta The Elks Lodge in Oneonta is perfect for Herald: “A family of eight your party needs!

Some of the interest is economic-development related, he said: Underground Railroad sites draw tourists. There’s also a renewed interest in family research, with people trying to put their ancestors in historical context, and the anti-slavery movement generally.

To Matthews, Isaac Newton Arnold and the Hartwick Seminary & Academy – it moved to Oneonta in 1927 and became Hartwick College – exemplified Otsego County’s anti-slavery ferment.

A few years after Arnold’s 1831 graduation from the Academy, an academy trustee, John Lawyer, was one of four men who in 1836 formed the Franckean Synod, the anti-slavery arm of the Evangelical Lutherans. By that time, Arnold had been instructed in the law by Cooperstown lawyers, moved to Illinois and met another young lawyer, Abraham Lincoln.

In 1866, on the 50th anniversary, “The SemiCentennial of the Hartwick Seminary & Academy” was published, and several local fans – the academy’s Principal Miller among them – sent Arnold a copy. Then, in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Arnold’s property and his extensive library were destroyed.

His daughter, however, had borrowed a copy, and Matthews, who has a collection of 2,500 items related to his research, acquired it a few years ago. (It was on eBay, and Village Historian Hugh MacDougall tipped him off.) In the margins are Arnold’s handwritten notations on his alma mater’s story.

He was picked out of 120 extras to interact directly with one of the actresses, who snatched a beach ball out of his hands. “I thought I was so cool,” he said. “I called all my friends and family and told them to watch it.”

But sometimes his excitement got a little ahead of him. “I was on ‘As the World Turns,’ and I told my family His icy blue eyes make Oneonta’s to look for me to say, ‘More coffee or more water, sir?’ But when it came Cuyle Carvin pop from the TV screen. time for my scene, all you could see was my elbow!

him. “Mike Williams, who was in ‘The Blair Witch Project,’ was my neighbor,” said Carvin. “I saw him one day and told him about just finishing ‘Mineville,’ and he told me he had been offered my part five years earlier!”

Lately, the former high school jock is putting his love of sports front and center for a good cause in “The Cuyle Carvin Coloring Book,” which is being distributed by “Drawing With Fred” star Fred M. Grandinetti. “There’s a page that shows me coming out of the TV, and I take the kid’s hand and we go outside to play,” he said.

The coloring book has been distributed to schools, hospitals and charity events throughout Massachusetts.

Copies are also available for request on his website, www.cuylecarvin.com.

And in addition to his upcoming role on “CSI,” he’s also working on the film “A Million Happy Nows,” with former “Teen Witch” star Dan Gauthier.

Carvin said. “I told her I’d introduce her.”
