Joint Effort Will Promote Oneonta As Shopping Hub

M

ayor Dick Miller and Southside Mall manager Luisa Montanti do not see Oneonta as a city and town, but as one shopping community.

“If we assume we are competitive, we will be,” said the mayor, interviewed after he met with Montanti Thursday, June 28, to discuss how the mall and downtown might work together. “If we assume we can be more affective by collaboration, we will be.”

Since then, Montanti has sat down with Deb Taylor, the county’s tourism director, and Julia Goff, the Main Street Oneonta coordinator, and have begun preparing a 4- by 11-inch “rack card” that jointly promotes the two entities, Miller said.

The group will also be developing related signage to point mall visitors to downtown shops and restaurants, and Please See TOGETHER, A8

Reopened Health Clinic Offers New Services In Bright New Space

alk down the hall of the new Oneonta Community Health Center, past the bright, brand-new reception and waiting rooms, and you’ll hardly recognize what used to be an attorney’s office.

The renovated new clinic is located at 31 Main St., and was constructed almost entirely by volunteers.

“It was a joint effort,” said building designer Elliot Cohen. “The primary volunteer was Web Stayman, a retired physician. Don Paulson of Universal Contracting made the renovations here go by very quickly. The structure was here, we just had to do a little wall demo and constructions to get it up to code and to turn it into a clinic.”

According to clinic President Kay Stuligross, the planning for this move has been a long time coming,

Dr. Web Stayman, the retired physician, volunteered to fix the bathroom at the Oneonta Community Health Center, which reopened in its new location on Tuesday, June 26.

and included the assistance of a sight committee to look at potential places for the clinic, a design committee to measure everything and make sure it would be a good fit for the clinic, and a construction committee.

“It was a real combination of all of the committees putting what they planned into place. We anticipate

being able to offer a wide range of new services with the new location.”

For Gerri Haan, vice president of the Oneonta Community Health Center, the old location on Academy Street pales in comparison.

“There is no comparison!” said Haan. “This is a professional space. When you come here you will

know you are in a professional office.”

The community-based organization was originally designed to provide free health services to the uninsured and other designated patient populations in Oneonta and the surrounding communities of Otsego and Delaware Counties.

Services offered at the Health Center currently include preventative and acute care, nutrition and dietary counseling, health education, specialty referrals, management of chronic and long-term medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure, and health maintenance through return visits and education. While

Clinic Vice President Gerri Haan, right, helps prepare the new offices with Wendy Harrington and Noreen Hipson.

services such as dental and routine immunizations are not currently offered, new services will be announced online at www.oneontaclinic.org as they become available.

The Oneonta Community Health Center is also equipped to help some apply for county, state or federal health insurance programs like Medicaid and Family Health Plus, depending on their situation.

“The applications might be intimidating, but we have people here who are trained to help people apply,” said Stuligross.

To the volunteers helping to move the Oneonta Community Health Center into its new location, one word stuck out as the most important aspect of the clinic.

“This is a community health center,” said Stuligross. “We are completely supported by the community; churches, the radio station, and individuals have all been supportive in the past. All of our volunteers are from the community as well. All of the doctors and medical staff are local.

Most of them come from a long day in their offices, and back to their offices after.

They say that this is why they went into medicine in the first place.”

“I know I can’t change the health care system,” said board member Haan, “but I can do this.”

In San Francisco, College Own All Student Housing Editor’s Note: Oneonta isn’t the only city struggling with what to do about student housing. Here is an excerpt of a synopsis of San Francisco’s initiative, prepared by attorney David Silverman of the Reuben & Junius firm.

U

nder existing laws, housing units and SROs (single-room occupancy) in the City of San Francisco may be converted to student housing without special regulation by the Planning Code. The proposed ordinance would regulate the field for the first time.

A significant goal of the proposed ordinance is to prevent existing forms of housing from being converted to student housing.

Another goal of the ordinance is to enable the City to monitor student housing units to ensure that if the units return to unrestricted residential use, the City would be able to collect fees for the conversion.

On June 21, the Planning Commission approved a revised draft ordinance

regarding student housing.

The proposal will now move on to the Board of Supervisors Land Use Committee for further consideration.

The student housing proposal, in its current form, defines student housing as a dwelling unit, group housing, or an SRO that is occupied by students of an accredited post-secondary educational institution. In addition, the housing must be owned or controlled by the educational institution.

Conversions from any existing form of housing to student housing would be prohibited with the exception of: (1) Housing that was built by the post-secondary educational institution (2) Housing in a convent, monastery or similar religious facility; or (3) Is on a lot directly adjacent to a post-secondary educational institution that will own, operate or control the student housing, so long as the lot has been owned by the post-secondary educational institution for at least 10 years.

by landing fees. The city pays an additional $35,000 a year in town taxes to Laurens, but a county facility wouldn’t have to do that.

“You can look at a community and the growth and direction it’s taking by its transportation facilities,” said Curpier. No airport is the wrong signal. With Senator Seward’s “Economic Summit” and the resulting ferment, no airport doesn’t jibe with the new reality and county aspirations.

The City of Oneonta has four county reps: Gary Koutnik, Cathy Rothenberger, Linda Rowinski and Kay Stuligross, plus Rich Murphy, who lives in the part of the city that extends into the Town of Oneonta, where Ioxus is based.

Keith McCarty represents the Town of Springfield, where Glimmerglass is located. John Kosmer represents Cooperstown, which benefits most from Glimmerglass’ $10 million spinoff and its also home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

That core should be more than sufficient to put the bring a county takeover of the Glimmerglass Regional Airport to center stage.

A county airport is important to everyone in Otsego County. Let’s embrace it. Let’s expand it. And let’s promote it into the key part of our county’s future prosperity.

This is not a problem like MOSA, where a solution ensures the status quo. This is an opportunity that will, quite simply, bring results.

he most straightforward reading of the individual mandate is that it commands individuals to purchase insurance. But ... the Commerce Clause does not give Congress that power

Editor’s Note: Here is an excerpt from the U.S. Supreme Court decision on the National Federation of Independent Businesses et al v. Sebelius, Secretary of Health And Human Services, et al, where Chief Justice John Roberts redefined the “individual mandate” as a tax, and therefore within Congress’ purview.

T

he individ­ual mandate, however, does not regulate existing commercial activi­ty. It instead compels individuals to become active in commerce by purchasing a product, on the ground that their failure to do so affects interstate commerce.

Construing the Commerce Clause to permit Congress to regulate individuals precisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional

authority.

Upholding the Affordable Care Act under the Commerce Clause would give Congress the same license to regulate what people do not do. The Framers knew the difference between doing Chief Justice something and doing John Roberts nothing. They gave Congress the power to regulate commerce, not compel it.

The most straightforward reading of the individual mandate is that it commands individuals to purchase insurance. But, for the reasons explained, the Commerce Clause does not give Congress that power. It is therefore necessary to turn to the Government’s

alternative ar­gument: that the mandate may be upheld as within Congress’s power to ‘lay and collect Taxes.’

In pressing its taxing power argument, the Government asks the Court to view the man­date as imposing a tax on those who do not buy that product.

Be­cause ‘every reasonable construction must be resorted to, in order to save a statute from unconstitutionality,’ Hooper v. California, 155 U. S. 648, 657, the question is whether it is ‘fairly possible’ to interpret the mandate as imposing such a tax, the shared responsibility payment may for constitutional purposes be considered a tax.

Neither the Affordable Care Act nor any other law attaches negative legal consequences to not buying health insurance, beyond requiring a payment to the IRS.

roper respect for a co-ordinate branch of the government” requires that we strike down an Act of Congress only if it demonstrates “the lack of constitutional authority to pass [the] act in question is clearly demonstrated.”

According to the Government, even if Congress lacks the power to direct individuals to buy insurance, the only effect of the individual mandate is to raise taxes on those who do not do so, and thus the law may be upheld as a tax.

The Government’s logic would justify a mandatory purchase to solve almost any problem.

Everyone will likely participate in the markets for food, clothing,

transportation, shelter, or energy; that does not authorize Congress to direct them to purchase particular products in those or other markets today. The Commerce Clause is not a general license to regulate an individual from cradle to grave, simply because he will predictably engage in particular transactions.

That is not the end of the matter.

Because the Com­merce Clause does not support the individual mandate, it is necessary to turn to the Government’s second argument: that the mandate may be upheld as within Congress’s enumerated power to “lay and collect Taxes.”

The most straightforward reading of the mandate is that it commands indi-

viduals to purchase insurance … But, for the reasons explained above, the Com­merce Clause does not give Congress that power. Under our precedent, it is therefore necessary to ask whether the Government’s alternative reading of the statute – that it only imposes a tax on those without insurance – is a rea­sonable one.

The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain in­dividuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax. Be­cause the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness...

125 Years Ago

The Local News – A beautiful sight was witnessed at the residence of Lester Eaton, Fairview Street on Monday evening – the blossoming of a night-blooming cereus.

Seven buds gradually opened during the evening, filling the room with fragrance and bringing exclamations of delight from all who were privileged to watch the flowers as they unfolded.

The weather this past week has been the hottest known in years. For several days the mercury has managed to creep above ninety degrees, the highest altitude attained being ninety-seven in the shade. Still, there are those who mechanically inquire, “Is it hot enough for you?”

A.D. Yager now carries a fine gold watch which he won by guessing the number of beans in a bottle at the auction rooms of Mr. Close. Mr. Yager guessed within two of the right number as did also G.W. Raymond. Mr. Raymond sold Mr. Yager his interest in the watch.

General Douglas MacArthur, the old soldier who didn’t fade away after all, set the Republicans on fire last night calling for a mighty all-party crusade against making America “a socialistic, or even later a Communistic state.” The five-star general of the Army set off a long, wild ovation when he came before the strife-torn Republican National Convention to flay the Democrats for “tragic blunders” leading the nation, he said, toward a third world war. MacArthur’s speech struck two main chords: One – The Democratic Party has been captured by schemers who are wrecking the American standard of living, making world conquest easy for the Russians and setting this nation’s course “unerringly toward the socialistic regimentation of a totalitarian state.”

Two – The Republicans have a golden opportunity in the November election to enlist Americans with no distinctions of race, creed or political affiliation in a crusade for peace, prosperity and tranquility.

How do you create a project that will combine science, mathematics, art and reading for a group of fifth-graders with the added feature of keeping them actively interested? Fifth grade teacher Wendall Bachman of Greater Plains found the answer. Take a trip – a trip to Mars, that is.

Bachman’s class created a “space craft,” planned their trip, computing the time and

distance on a scale of three minutes equaling one day, programmed a scale flight progress model, and took off for Mars.

The youngsters went so far as to remain in school over Friday night, so that the flight wouldn’t be interrupted. “Blast-off” was at 12:02 p.m., Friday, June 16, with the flight schedule landing on Mars at 9:46 p.m. on December 23. Part of the astronauts’ schedule was a series of “walks on Mars” during which astronauts Steve Lawton and Tom Gaffney gathered “specimens of plant life” as well as samples of the Martian “soil.”

They left Mars at 10:16 p.m., January 4, and landed back on earth at 8:01 a.m. July 15. Mr. Bachman and his wife stayed with the youngsters during the entire experiment, camping out in the classroom with them Friday night.

This southern rock style band first formed in the 70s and first toured with the Allman Brothers, and 40 years later the combination of rock, country, jazz and the blues still has a strong following.

“There’s a strong orientation to working together,” Miller said. “Clearly, the expanding development on Southside is wonderful for the community and has im-

MSO, so she has a strong community orientation,” Miller said.

The mall manager had noticed that, while area hotels and destinations had rack cards for attractions in Windham and Belleayre Mountain, they didn’t have any for Oneonta. “There’s nothing that brings people here,” Montanti said, “We want to show people what Oneonta has to offer them.”

“We are one community,” she continued. “We are the Greater Oneonta, not just a little town between Albany and Binghamton, and we want to display Oneonta at it’s best.”

They’re hoping to have the cards in place by the end of July, catching the second wave of summer tourists.

In something of a parallel step, Miller had addressed the Otsego County Chamber directors at their monthly meeting Thursday, June 21, suggesting they change their name back to the Greater Oneonta Chamber of Com-

While the directors were cool to that idea, they were warm to the idea of collaborating to promote tourism in the Oneonta area.

“We’re looking towards things related to tourism.”

“You move ahead by taking advantage of opportunity,” Miller said.
