Springbrook’s $22 million campus expansion has taken the school for developmentally disabled children a long way from the modest Upstate Baptist Home for Children (left), founded as a orphanage in 1925. With the just-completed expansion, Springbrook raises its workforce to 1,000, making it Otsego County’s fifth largest employer. The achievement will be celebrated with tours and a dedication ceremony Thursday, Sept.

20. Keynoter will be Tom Golisano, Paychex founder, philanthropist and three-time gubernatorial candidate.

Golisano’s $2.5 Million Challenge Braced Springbrook

By JIM KEVLIN

S

pringbrook CEO Patricia Kennedy had never asked anyone for $5 million before.

When she pulled over at a Thruway rest area this side of Rochester, she distractedly turned away and left her purse in the sink – one of those with an automatic spigot – and it was soaked through when she turned back.

A half-hour later she and John M. Anderson, then Hartwick College provost, now SUNY Alfred presi-

Tom Golisano gave Springbrook a choice: A $250,000 check or a $2.5 million challenge.

dent, were meeting with Tom Golisano, the Paychex founder, three-time gubernatorial candidate and – not in the least – philanthropist.

He didn’t let them off easy.

“He asked tough questions,” she recalled the other day. “Why are you doing this? Why haven’t you tried that?”

“This is an initiative of New York State: Why should I want to be invested in this?” Golisano asked.

“We want to provide quality,” Kennedy replied.

“We want to provide the best environment. We want

to provide the best program.

To reach that excellent level we want, we need your support.”

When the grilling was over, Golisano gave Kennedy a choice, Anderson recalled. He would write Springbrook a $250,000 check, or he would offer a $2.5 million matching grant, one dollar for every dollar raised locally for Springbrook’s expansion.

“We jumped at it,” Kennedy said of the Golisano challenge, and the process of finding the $2.5 million locally raised Springbrook’s visibility in the community

and built relationships that will continue to serve the institution for years and decades to come.

The partnership will be honored at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at a dedication ceremony in the School at Springbrook playing field marking the completion of a $22 million expansion that includes the Tom Golisano Center for Autism.

Golisano is due to arrive on campus at 3 p.m. to tour the new facility, accompanied by Kennedy and Anderson, who will be flying in from an NCAA meeting in Indianapolis the day before.

Anderson, who Kennedy recruited to the Springbrook board soon after he became Hartwick provost in 2004, had held various high-ranking SUNY posts over the years and had gotten to know Golisano, who had an adult son with developmental disabilities.

“I knew this was an organization with a story that Tom needed to hear,” said Anderson, who invited Golisano for a first visit to the hillside campus south of Portlandville. Said Anderson, “He was very moved by what he saw.”

Springbrook Proves It: The Golden Rule Is Good Business

here is something both reassuringly old fashioned AND energizingly forward looking about, if you will, The Springbrook Strategy.

Old fashioned, in that we are reminded of a time when business executives were concerned, not just with their own bonuses and their stockholders, but with multiple stakeholders – customers, employees, communities and the good of the nation.

Springbrook CEO Patricia Kennedy, with the support of her boards, has consistently executed a win-win approach exemplified yet again in the Thursday, Sept.

20, ribbon-cutting that completes a $22 million expansion, its most ambitious to date.

First and foremost, 24 new students win, children who will study at the state-of-the-art Tom Golisano Center for Autism and live in those lovely craftsman-style homes on that hilltop overlooking the campus. If not for Springbrook’s ambition, they would be living out of state, far from their

Determined leadership has characterized Springbrook from founder Harriet Parish Smith, left, to today’s Patricia Kennedy.

families and non-institutional support systems.

• Second, New York State taxpayers win. Tax money – in the form of a per-pupil stipend – that would have warehoused the children out of state, Kennedy perceived was sufficient to fund $15 million of the expansion. Albany gets a 20 percent savings, in fact.

Third, Otsego County neighbors win: In jobs, as this expansion has added 112 and pushed Springbrook employment to 1,000,

placing it among the top five local employers. More generally, the expansion will inject a $5 million more annually into the local economy.

Shortterm, the project has been beneficial to banks, contractors and hundreds of people who found work during the worst economic dip in 80 years. This has been the biggest construction job in the county in the past two years.

Why and when autism strikes is not sufficiently understood. As far as is now known, it can happen to any family, randomly. Springbrook, by serving the children so well, has brought many new families to our county and allowed others to stay.

Yes, everybody wins.

• The Springbrook Strategy embraces everything this very fine institution undertakes.

In March, for instance, Kennedy and SUNY Oneonta President Nancy Kleniewski announced a collaboration on a master’s in special education.

Again, win-win. Springbrook hires staff from Upstate colleges and beyond with bachelor’s degrees. Typically, recent college grads will stay at their jobs for a year or so. This two-year program gives them a reason to stay longer, to make friends, to establish roots.

What in many cases would have been a year-long interlude becomes a five-year, or 10-year, or career-long commitment, stabilizing Springbrook’s staff, benefiting the students with more highly trained and experienced teachers, and benefiting the community at large with a cadre of well-educated professionals.

SUNY Oneonta benefits from a predictable enhancement to its income stream, $1/4 million a year, plus expanded offerings to continue upgrading its student body.

• The purchase of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Oneonta, announced in July, is another case in point. By ganging rents paid at multiple satellite facilities, Springbrook was able to consolidate

offices and cover the mortgage.

So while an empty St. Mary’s could have deteriorated into an ugly eyesore – and an attractive nuisance, to boot – it will continue as a well-tended beehive of public service on Oneonta’s east end for the foreseeable future.

The consolidation also opens up Class A office space in short supply for smaller-scale enterprises now getting underway.

This win-win way of thinking works. Kennedy and her Springbrook boards have proved it. Over the past two decades, the budget has grown from $5 million to today’s $42 million. That’s success.

Those who are operating businesses, non-profits, government agencies now or are considering doing so should pause and reflect: Can we help ourselves by helping everyone? The idea is as old as the Golden Rule and as relevant today as it’s ever been.

The Springbrook Strategy proves it.

e-Mail From Tunisia ‘Firmly Condemns What Happened’ Editor’s Note: Jay W. More of Cooperstown received this e-mail from a friend in Tunisia Friday, Sept. 14, after the attack on the U.S. Embassy that resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Hi Jay, As tourism was really picking up, a handful of extremists who I assure you can never represent the Tunisian people – who did their great revolution peacefully – and who were supported by your great country are now spoiling our people and religion.

I do firmly condemn what happened today in the U.S. Embassy; I think that we can all show our disapproval about certain things, but in a peaceful manner. These people who pretend to protect Islam are at the moment

looting and plundering in the neighborhoods of Tunis; they can never represent us.

I do apologize to all the American people who were the first ones who supported our fight for freedom. Please Jay do send this message to all those you know.

This morning I took my car and drove near the embassy because I still do not believe what happened.

When I saw the damages caused by those ignorant extremists I felt so sad for my people who can never be like these evildoers.

Even when the previous generations where fighting the French, no embassy was attacked. We all still believe we can make it against all odds.

Thanks and may God bless all of us.

Kosmer: Help Us Save Manor To the Editor: It is time for a community conversation about the Otsego Manor eldercare facility. My commitment has always been to save The Manor. To me that means continuing to provide The Manor’s excellent care.

What to do to save it is the question.

The Manor deficit is $3.2 million now and may approach $6 million by 2014.

If we can’t afford to fill that gap, services at the Manor will be cut, deteriorating quality care. To meet that gap, it’s estimated that it would cost a 30 percent rise in real-estate taxes. Are we

able and willing to pay that amount or are we willing to explore alternatives like privatization?

Privatization is no panacea. Countryside Care Center in Delhi is a cautionary tale. Privatized in 2006, instead of addressing some 66 deficiencies cited by New York State, they have decided to close. We don’t want that here.

The Otsego County Board of Representatives adopted my proposal that “a history of excellent resident care” be inserted into the board’s resolution. Passing it was a legal requirement to hire Please See LETTER, A6

or over 80 years, Springbrook has been a place where barriers are overcome. Founded in 1925 as the Upstate Baptist Home for Children, our heritage and principles have guided our growth to an organization that today offers educational, residential, therapeutic, habilitation, and community support options to individuals with developmental disabilities.

Founded by Harriet Parish Smith,

the Upstate Baptist Home for Children was established on a working farm to serve orphaned children. In the 1960s – after years of successfully placing children in new homes – the board of directors recognized shifting needs and decided to begin serving a new group of individuals, changing the organization’s mission to serve children with disabilities.

This decision continued a tradition of supporting those individuals in our society that are underserved

and most deserving of high quality, compassionate support.

We are proud to carry this tradition forward today, supporting over 800 people of all ages with developmental disabilities and employing nearly 1,000 people from across New York. Springbrook is a place where learning never ends, challenges are opportunities, and dependence is transformed into independence.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20-21, 2012

At Gala, He Praised ‘The Miracle Of Springbrook,’ Sparked ‘Coming Home’ Drive GOLISANO/From A3 Springbrook was on a growth curve.

Some time before, its mission had changed from orphanage to teaching children with disabilities.

Recently, it had changed its name from Upstate Baptist

Home for Children and was in the process winning a $15 million state contract to create a new residential program for 24 autistic children.

But Kennedy and the Springbrook board realized the state money would only

provide the bare bones. For instance, the spacious gym people will see on Thursday’s tours would only have been one-quarter the size.

The well-appointed Craftsman-style homes on the hill would have lacked the superior quality evident now.

The difference between government-issue and first-rate, it was estimated, would be about $5 million.

To begin closing that gap, Springbrook organized its first fundraising gala in the spring 2005.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful to honor someone like Tom Golisano at our first

gala?” Kennedy mused, and Anderson took it from there.

“On the day of our gala, Tom came with some of his friends in the afternoon and had a tour,” said Kennedy.

“After we went through our facility – we had all of our kids there, just like a regular school day – he said, ‘How can I help you?’.”

“He spoke eloquently at our first gala,” she continued. “He talked about ‘The Miracle of Springbrook,’ which meant so much to people, including me.”

When planning to raise the $5 million began in earnest in the gala’s wake,

the planners realized Tom Golisano – his Golisano Foundation has donated many millions to Rochester area philanthropies over 25 years – “would put us in a different league,” Kennedy said.

After the spring 2006 visit to Rochester, Golisano returned to Springbrook that summer to announce the $2.5 million matching grant.

To get things started, he wrote a check for $250,000, the amount he’d offered Kennedy and Anderson a few months before in lieu of the $2.5 million.

The money was welcome,

LETTER/From A4 a consultant to seek qualified parties to privatize The Manor. I also made it plain that I expected it to be on top of the criteria list to assess interested parties.

Bassett Hospital seems to meet that criteria, should it choose to submit a proposal.

Bassett has demonstrated extensive health care for the elderly and has an association with Fox Hospital that has its own successful Fox Nursing Home. Bassett is a natural fit. It has a broadbased healthcare mission, a long-term history and commitment to our community and is located close to The Manor.

County representatives are under no obligation to privatize The Manor when the consultant presents qualified organizations that have submitted proposals.

This is where the real debate may begin.

It has been a mystery to me, as I am sure it is to you, how a for-profit organization can successfully run an eldercare facility with the same level of excellent caregiving when the nonprofit county cannot. But just because I have doubts, it does not mean that privatization proposals should not be considered. It should be explored so those proposals

can succeed or fail on their own merits.

And let’s put to rest the notion that The Manor is not financially sound because it is bloated or not efficient.

The reason The Manor and many other County eldercare facilities are in trouble is that state government is financially strangling our counties with unfunded or partially funded mandates.

An NPR report stated that in the state 10 counties have already sold their eldercare facilities and 12 more were in the process of trying to sell them. The Manor is running deficits because the state has cut Medicare reimbursements $30 per person per day. It is now also beginning a “regional” elder home-care reimbursement system that will cut reimbursements further.

To aid in beginning a conversation about The Manor, The County is setting up a website that makes all aspects of the county exploring privatization transparent and asks for your suggestions and comments. Please use it and/or contact your county Representative to help them wrestle with this issue. Also consider contacting state Sen.

Here’s What You’ll See On Springbrook’s Opening Day Tours

By LIBBY CUDMORE

T

he Tom Golisano Center for Autism’s first student arrived in June, taking up residence in one of three new Craftsmanstyle houses on the big hill behind Springbrook’s main campus south of Portlandville.

Now, 13 students are living in the complex, which is sure to be one of the highpoints of tours during the Thursday, Sept. 20, celebration of the $22 million “Coming Home” expansion project.

“It would be a great place for hang-gliding,” joked Jeff Edelstein, director of daycare and the residential school. “You can see the whole campus and the Susquehanna River.”

Each house has two sections with four bedrooms and a living section in each.

There’s a shared laundry and kitchen in the middle.

“Every time I come in here, I think ‘I want this kitchen’,” said Kira DeLanoy, assistant director of PR and marketing.

Edelstein continued, “These houses are very open, and there’s no place a student can go away from things. They can come into

this room and calm down without disrupting others ... We looked carefully for people,” he said. “We wanted to match students to the services we offer.”

Down the hill, visitors will see a spacious new gym, four times the size it would have been if not for the $5 million fund drive launched to enhance the state’s original plan. Recalling the pre-renovation facility, Director of Facilities Tom Ford observed, “It was a very small gym. There

was no natural light.”

The old gym is now two classrooms – one serving as the library and media center, with computer access for students and staff as well a curricula repository. “We’re moving to iPads,” said Edelstein. “There are a lot of apps that lend themselves to therapy.”

“We were heading out when Barbara Ann Heegan stopped by to tell us we’d won the Small Business Award,” Betsy said. “We were taken aback – it was totally out of the blue.”

Benson Agency is the winner of the 13th annual Key Bank Small Business Award, presented by the Otsego County Chamber.

“Benson Agency is committed to bringing people into Otsego County,” said Heegan, county chamber executive director. “They are very involved in the community, with Foothills and Balloon Fest. They have complete pride in our county.”

FERC Schedules 3 Hearings On Constitution Pipeline

By JIM KEVLIN

I

f you want to advise the federal government on the Constitution Pipeline – one proposed route would run along I-88 through Otsego County – this is your chance.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has announced the public-comment period for the project, a required part of its licensing process, is open and will continue through Tuesday, Oct. 9.

To receive that comment, FERC has planned three “public scoping meetings”: Monday, Sept.

24, at Afton High School; Tuesday, Sept. 25, at Schoharie High School, and Wednesday, Sept. 26,

IF YOU GO: FERC hearings on the Constitution Pipeline are 7-10 p.m. Monday, Sept.

25, Afton High School; Tuesday, Sept. 26, Schoharie High School; Wednesday, Sept. 27, Blue Ridge High School, New Milford, Pa. at Blue Ridge High School, New Milford, Pa. The evenings begin at 6 p.m., when Constitution Pipeline representatives will be on hand to answer questions and describe the proposal. The formal hearings will be 7-10 p.m. each evening.

Comments may also be filed electronically at www.ferc.gov un-

der a link called “Documents and Filings.” Used docket number PF12-9-000. Or comments may be mailed to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St. NE, Room 1A, Washington DC 20426.

FERC’s “Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement” began arriving in local mailboxes in the past few days.

All landowners potentially effected by the project should have received one, and they are advised that Constitution representatives either have or will be getting in touch to work on “a mutually acceptable agreement.”

“However,” the notice continues, if FERC approves the project,

“that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, Constitution could initiate condemnation proceedings,” and payments would be determined by state law.

FERC has a fact sheet, “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?”, available on www.ferc. gov.

When the 120-mile pipeline proposal surfaced in April to connect natural-gas fields in northeast Pennsylvania with Tennessee and Iroquois pipeline compression stations in Schoharie County, routes crossed Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Schoharie counties, not Otsego.

But at the suggestion of state Rep. Pete Lopez, R-Schoharie, and state Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, FERC added “Alternate M,” which would shift the pipeline north along the I-88 right-of-way.

Generally, FERC prefers putting new infrastructure along existing rights-of-way, according to Matthew Swift, the Constitution project manager.

In addition to easement payments and temporary 600 jobs during 2014, the year of construction, Swift said property taxes could generate $5 million a year for municipalities and school districts along the route, including $3 million for Otsego County government.

Mystery Panorama Confounds Crowds At GOHS Unveiling When Was Photo Taken? And Why? Who Took It? Questions, No Answers

By JIM KEVLIN

T

he spirit of inquiry waxed strong but, if anything, the mystery surrounding a 24-footlong panoramic photo of Oneonta, unveiled Sunday afternoon, Sept. 16, at the History Center, 183 Main, only deepened.

Questions ganged around two issues: When was the mysterious mural photographed? And why was it converted into a wall-length image suitable for hanging?

“It’s fascinating,” said Bob Brzozowski, Greater Oneonta Historical Society executive director (and City Council member). “But we need to know when it was done, how it was done, who was it done for.”

The frame of a roundhouse photo that hung in Palace Cigar for years suggests the photographer was a Johnny Gould.

If the junior high is not in the photo, then it was taken before the school was built in 1927.

• No Hartwick College building – construction began in 1928 – is visible, but Susan Plantz and others suggested the campus could be hidden in trees, or tucked behind a ridge by Oyaron Hill.

• Barbara Hein quickly identified her house at 8 Thorn St., but one of the neighboring homes – 1940s vintage – is not pictured, another possible clue.

• Jim Loudon, author of “The Oneonta Roundhouse” and other local history books, observed a tower in the old D&H yard that he believes Former Junior High Principal wasn’t built until Joe Waters can make out the 1946, another possible old high school behind the marker, according to Armory, but not the junior Brzozowski. high, built in 1927.

Such observations piled up throughout SunHere’s a sampling of day’s open house. “People Sunday’s ruminations: didn’t want to leave,” said • Joe Waters, who retired in the 1980s after more than Brzozowski.

A few years ago, Tom two decades as Oneonta JuOliver, longtime Palace nior High School principal, Cigar owner, had provided could make out the image GOHS with a photo of the of the old high school on Academy Street, behind the D&H roundhouse that apArmory, but he couldn’t see pears to be from the same the junior high school there. negative, said Brzozowski.

Susan Plantz examines a long-gone bridge behind River Street. During flooding in the 1950s, her sister and brother-in-law Alice and Sam Nader escaped over it from their Sixth Ward home to the Plantz family home on higher ground on Southside. “She clanked over it, “ Susan remembered, “And she DID clank over it. And she made it just in time.”

Barbara Hein, above, points out her Thorn Street home; but a neighbors’ hadn’t been built yet.

At right, the world’s biggest roundhouse is one of the photo’s clearest images, suggesting it was snapped from Franklin Mountain Road.

The photo had been given to Tom’s dad Ralph.

An inscription on the back of the frame reads, “taken by Johnny Gould, 1940.” No one has surfaced yet who remembers Johnny Gould. And 1940 could be the date the photo was taken, or it could be the date Gould gave the photo to Ralph Oliver, Brzozowski said.

The GOHS director has asked former mayor David W. Brenner – living repository of much Oneonta

history – if he remembers the mural, why it was put together and where it might have hung. Brenner has been thinking that over, but hadn’t yet advised Brzozowski of any conclusions.

There are numerous cars in the panorama – that would nail the vintage – but they are too blurred to be of much help.

The left-hand panel has blurred weeds in the foreground, indicating the camera was in proximity. The second panel is a head-on image of the D&H roundhouse, the largest in the world at one point. As the camera moved to the right, the houses, streets and other landmarks are distorted, foreshortened, more difficult to make out.

But even there, First United Methodist’s tower at Chestnut and Church is clear, as are other steeples.

The armory, old City Hall (now county satellite offices) and other individual building are visible, but placing them in a neighborhood context is more difficult.

Abbate Brings New Strategy To Democratic Helm Chamber Names Honorees: ABBATE/From B1 county Board of Representatives’ chambers.

He succeeds attorney Ed Lentz, New Lisbon. County Rep. John Kosmer, Fly Creek, was elected vice chair, replacing county Rep. Rich Murphy, Oneonta, who will remain on the party’s executive committee. Theresa Winchester, Gilbertsville, is secretary, and Flo Loomis, Oneonta, treasurer.

Committee members in attendance included Kim Muller, former Oneonta mayor and vice chair of the state committee, who announced herself as representing “the stronghold of the Democratic Party in Otsego County� and declared city Democrats’ support for the new chair.

Of the past four county chairs, only one, Ben Friedell, was from Oneonta.

In additino to Abbate took the gavel from Lentz and immediately outlined a plan of organization to pick and elect “the best possible candidates� for office.

He announced he will appoint 10 district leaders – one for Oneonta, and one each in the county rep districts outside the city. The city leader will pick four “captains� in each ward, and the district leaders will pick one for each town.

The captains will be on the lookout for promising candidates as vacancies occur, and will propose names to the district leader, who will then forward the names to the county committee, which will interview prospects. “If we don’t feel we have someone qualified, I think the county Demo-

cratic Party should stay neutral. If we don’t believe in them, how can we possibly put them in the voting booth on that ballot?�

Over time, he said, “the residents will start to trust our decisions on who we’re picking.�

Already, county Rep. Beth Rosenthal, who has agreed to be District 7 leader, has proposed a candidate for a prospective vacancy for Roseboom town supervisor in the Nov. 6 election.

Winchester has agreed to be District 2 leader (Butternuts, Morris and Pittsfield) and Kosmer in District 8 (Town of Otsego).

Monday evening, Abbate was considering naming district leaders in each of Oneonta’s six wards, but in an interview Tuesday he was leaning toward one city leader – someone like former mayor John Nader – with ward captains, perhaps county Reps. Murphy and Kay Stuligross in their wards.

Friday, Sept. 21, Abbate will be at the 5 p.m. opening of congressional candidate Julian Schriebman’s Oneonta office, next to the Eighth Note on South Main Street. Saturday, he will preside at the party’s annual Jedediah Peck Dinner, held for the first time this year at the Coopertown Country Club, where Schriebman will keynote; despite a higher price tag, 87 attendees had already signed up.

In a followup interview, Abbate said, “I think the county chair and village chair’s job is very simple; it’s finding the best candidates in every election to go before the Otsego County residents.�

A Staten Island native, the new county chair got into politics at age 16, working on Abe Beame’s campaign for New York City mayor. The next year, he worked on the campaign of a family friend, Bill Murphy, who was running for Staten Island district attorney, ending up as his campaign chair in reelection campaigns.

His future wife Rosemarie’s mother, Marie Mauro (she and her husband later moved to the Town of Middlefield, and opened Video Depots in Cooperstown, Oneonta and Milford), was active in local politics, and working on campaigns gave him an excuse to spend time with his future wife.

After graduating from New Dorp High School, he majored in poli-sci at Staten Island Communit College.

He worked on Ed Koch’s and Mario Cuomo’s mayoral campaign – the same age as Andrew Cuomo, he remembers the now-governor calling the Staten Island organization with marching orders. He never ran for elective office himself, but served as a state committeeman from the 63rd Assembly District in 1989-96.

When he retired to Cooperstown from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – he supervised eight investigators in Manhattan and The Bronx – after months spent on Ground Zero after 9/11.

Named village party chair in 2009, his slates had growing success, culminating in January when the Republicans declined to field a slate and Democrats, with Jeff Katz as mayor, took all trustee seats in March.

History

Compiled by Tom Heitz with resources courtesy of the New York State Historical Association Library

125 Years Ago

30 Years Ago

There has been a lively movement in real estate in the locality of the proposed Normal School the past week, property having been sold as follows: To L.H. Blend, four lots on Normal Street, $1,200; H.D. Yager, lot on Normal Street, $400; George Kirkland, two lots, corner of Maple and Cedar streets, $1,500; Dr. J.H. Van Rensselaer, lot on Cedar Street, $650; W.H. Mereness, lot on Cedar Street, $650, and lot between State and East streets, $350; Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Rockwell, two lots, corner East and Cedar streets, $1,300; Delos Yager, two lots on East Street, $1,000; E.M. Elmore, two corner lots, State and East streets, $700; F. Wilcox, lot on Cedar Street, $650; Dr. Goldsmith, lot between State and East streets, $300. It is very generally conceded that the lots at the prices at which they are offered, furnish a good opportunity for investment, as is proved by the fact that several of the best business men of Oneonta are buying and negotiating for the property.

September 1887

The Leatherstocking Railway Historical Society wants to build a Delaware & Hudson Railroad museum, an art gallery, and park on the vacant urban renewal plot in downtown Oneonta. James Loudon, the society’s president said the group will ask the Oneonta Common Council for permission to build on the Broad Street parcel. The group has scrapped earlier plans to build the museum in Oneonta’s Neahwa Park. Loudon proposes to move the “Little Red Caboose,” the site where the Brotherhood of Railroad trainmen was organized in 1883, to the Broad Street parcel.

The caboose would be enclosed in glass and visible during closing hours. Oneonta Mayor James F. Lettis opposes the society’s plan. “I’d rather see some retail there if we can get it. He noted that another attempt to build a local rail museum failed several years ago. Another proposal for the Broad Street site is a $10 million shopping mall. The site has been vacant for approximately 10 years.

September 1982

80 Years Ago

The City Council – The proposition “Shall the showing of moving pictures on Sunday evenings after the hour of 9 p.m. be permitted in the theatres of the city of Oneonta?” will be submitted to the registered voters of the city at the general election to be held November 8. The City Council, which alone has the power to permit Sunday movies, will not be bound by the result of the voting, but many members of the Council have indicated that they will be influenced in their vote by the expression of sentiment. Clarence C. Miller, former mayor and chairman of the Public Safety Commission, appeared before the Council and presented a resolution unanimously adopted by the members of the paid fire department and of the police department in which they voluntarily voted to refund five percent of their salaries from October 15, 1932 to September 30, 1933, to the City Chamberlain for the relief of the unemployed. This refund will amount to about $1,600.

The first responsibilities of a minister’s wife are crystal-clear to Mrs. Edna Mae (Penny) Lyon, wife of the Rev. Roswell Lyon, pastor of the First Methodist Church. Her biggest duty, she staunchly maintained during an interview yesterday, is creating a pleasant atmosphere and background where a husband-pastor can relax after a hard day’s grind. “I’m definitely not a pastor’s assistant,” declared Mrs. Lyon. “I don’t like to see a minister’s wife running competition with her husband.

Private investigator Andrew Liddle will conclude his investigation of the Oneonta Police Department’s operations in mid-October. Liddle said the final report would run to approximately 200 pages and would include a new set of rules and regulations for the department and its officers.

Liddle said that he, members of the Safety Board, and special counsel to the Safety Board, Robert Harlem, would interview Police Chief Joseph DeSalvatore last night.

DeSalvatore has just returned from the prestigious 12week FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, where the chief did exceptionally well, finishing in the top ten percent of the class of 200. Liddle is paid $10 per hour Mayor James Lettis said Liddle works upwards of 40 hours a week on his probe. Liddle and the Council are expected to get together in a private session to review the findings to date.

Kate Hendrickson Borg, an Olympic kayaker and former Oneonta high school swimmer, competed in her first triathlon in Madison, Wisconsin, last Sunday. She finished 921st out of 1,801 competitors with a time of 12 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds. The course started with a 2.4 mile open-water swim, followed by 112 miles of biking and 26.2 miles of running. The Wisconsin Triathlon, held for the first time this year, was a qualifier for the Kona, Hawaii Ironman competition.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup, which normally resides at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, was displayed last week at the Michelle Akers Tribute Game and will be sent to FIFA before the next World Cup in November 2003.

Robert A. Harlem, Sr., 86; Retired Supreme Ct. Judge

hen you drive

by Goodyear Lake and see the autumn sunlight sparkling over the water, you can thank Robert A. Harlem Sr. On a Saturday morning in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s, the Goodyear Lake Association, which Harlem worked for as an attorney, called to report that, despite all attempts at negotiations, NYSEG was going to break the south dam on the lake.

Monday morning, just as the crews were arriving at the dam, Harlem handed them a stay signed by state Supreme Court Judge Joseph P. Molinari, saving Goodyear Lake from becoming an overgrown gully.

That was one of the many stories friends, associates

and family related when hearing of Harlemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012 in his winter residence of Venice, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great personal loss as well as a loss to the community,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bob was a great friend and a mentor to me.

We played a fair amount of golf together. He performed my wedding ceremony. He was a willing and helpful adviser, a guy I could call.â&#x20AC;?

Harlem was born on Flag Day, June 14, 1926, in Yonkers, to Helen (Goetz) and Leroy Harlem. His father died when he was young, leaving his mother to raise five children alone.

Harlem joined the Army at the end of World War II and, after his discharge, a

friend got him a job at a law office in New York City. It was there, listening to the stories other lawyers told, that Harlem decided on his vocation.

With help from the GI Bill and while working two jobs, Harlem got his B.A. in Plattsburgh at Champlain College, then one of the Associated Colleges of New York State, and his law degree from SUNY Albany.

Upon graduation, he joined the Oneonta law firm of Harrington & Bookhout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prior to his ascendency to the bench, Bob was the premier trial lawyer in the area,â&#x20AC;? said Edward Gozigian of Cooperstown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to his extensive courtroom experience, and commanding presence, he was a superb jurist.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, his career spanned over six decades, and he was trying cases into his mid-80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What most people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about him was his sense of fun,â&#x20AC;? said county Judge Brian Burns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a judge and he had to be serious, but you could spend five hours out on the golf course with him and at the end, say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I wish we could do that all over again.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; After you talked with him, you always had a smile on your face.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss him because I could go to him and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What do you think?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d reply, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one of your best ideas.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said former mayor David W. Brenner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a gruff demeanor, but I always respected him. He would
