asey Callahan, 52, who was found guilty of the January 2000 murder of his wife Elizabeth Welsh in the county’s first murder trial in decades, was sentenced to 25-to-life by Judge John Callahan F. Lambert during his hearing yesterday on Otsego County Court. “It’s the maximum sentence, and I’m satisfied,” said District Attorney John Muehl. “This was a cold, calculated, pre-meditated murder.” Callahan, who is already serving a 12 ½-year sentence in Attica for molesting a child in 2013, will not be eligible for parole until 2042, when he’s 74 years old.

Then, as this edition went to press, readers called to say robo-calls are circulating the county obliquely linking Marietta to Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 bombers.

County Candidates Bliss, Carson, Oberacker: There’s No ‘Reform Caucus’ To the Editor, Re last week’s editorial in The Freeman’s Journal and Hometown Oneonta. We would like to clarify: There is no formal or informal “Reform Caucus.” We were identified as members of a group that does not exist. We are Republicans and members of the Otsego County Republican caucus. While we certainly favor and have worked in a bipartisan manner since our election, in no way should this be misinter-
preted as anything other than doing what is best for the county. In fact, this year alone, the Democrats voted with the Republican majority more than 95 percent of the time. Rather than creating division, let’s focus on the important good work the county board has been doing. It is irresponsible to create a fictitious group in an attempt to create division within the board.

The unfunded mandate resolution was withdrawn by the Administration Committee and so never came to a vote. It was not ultimately supported by any of the 14 members of the board because it would have gutted federal funding for our local healthcare system, one of the pillars of our economy. To try to find a compromise, I drafted and circulated TWO alternate resolutions that would have eliminated the same unfunded state mandate without also reducing federal funding.

Anyone knowing his whereabouts will confer a great favor upon him and his children by directing him to or addressing Mrs. Maria Knowlton, or Mrs. George Hinds, Hartwick, New York, or Mrs. George Adams, Milford, New York.

Captain Immelman, who until his recent death was Germany’s premier airman, was killed in a specially arranged air duel by Captain Ball, an English pilot. Notes dropped in the opposing lines arranged the meeting to take place in the air high above the German lines. The two planes soared into the air while the guns in the British and German lines ceased firing. Soldiers of the two forces laid down their arms and watched with interest the maneuvering of the fighters. Before Immelmann could get into firing position Ball looped and let go with his machine gun, smashing the aero. The German machine burst into flames and dropped to earth. Captain Ball then flew back to the spot over which the German fell and dropped a huge wreath of flowers. Four days later Captain Ball fell after a battle with four German planes which he fought single-handed. Before he dropped he sent three Germans to earth. November 1917

November 1892 section. Hunting alone on Crumhorn Mountain, he heard an animal behind him, and turning about sent a well-placed slug into a buck which was later estimated to weigh between 220 and 230 pounds. Carrying a magnificent rack of horns with twelve points, the animal was hailed as one of the largest and finest deer ever shot in the state. G. Ross Patrick of 424 Main Street shot a 190 pound, ten-point buck near Youngs yesterday morning. Deer hunters in Otsego and Schoharie counties can use only shotguns loaded with slugs not smaller than buckshot. Those in Delaware County may employ a rifle. November 1937

An interdenominational Institute devoted to pastoral counseling will be held at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, November 9 at 9:30 a.m. in the Home Economics building of State University Teachers College. Believing that pastoral counseling is one of the most important tasks of priests, ministers, and rabbis, a group of clergymen have planned this session aimed at improving the techniques of counseling. This Institute, held under the auspices of the Mental Health Committee of the Health Association of Otsego County will hear Dr. Luther E. Woodward, senior mental health representative of the Department of Mental Hygiene. Dr. Woodward will speak on “Mental Health Principles in Pastoral Counseling.” A Massachusetts study indicates that professional social workers think of the religious counselor – both Protestant and Catholic – “as a kind of ‘spot remover.’ ” Jean L. Blumen, and Alan W. Elster, Wellesley College sociologists, say they have found as the result of a survey that there is no disposition on the part of professional social workers “to permit a place on the “team” for the pastoral counselor. There are plans to expand this study to cover Jewish as well as Christian clergymen. November 1957

An electronic fetal monitoring unit was purchased for the maternity ward this year by the Auxiliary of Fox Hospital. The $6,800 equipment enables the attending physician to quickly assess problems that may arise during the labor period. Purchase of equipment like this is one of the many ways the Auxiliary assists the hospital. Another of the major contributions of the hospital is in services to patients. The Auxiliary has paid for the landscaping and maintenance of the garden at the Fox Hospital Nursing Home. In-service training films for nursing home personnel have also been purchased by the Auxiliary. Auxiliary members also assisted in the Blood Mobile of the American Red
Cross as well as participating in the work of the Otsego Urban Rural Services Program. November 1977

The U.S. Supreme Court let stand California’s groundbreaking proposition 209, a ban on race and gender preference in hiring and school admission. Affirmative action foes predicted other states now will follow California’s lead. Acting without comment, the nation’s highest court rejected a challenge to the California measure by a coalition of civil rights groups. The measure, an amendment to the state constitution, says the state and local governments cannot “discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.” Lower courts had said the anti-affirmative action measure violated no one’s constitutional rights and was a neutral way to promote equality. But opponents contended the measure relegated racial minorities and women to the second-class citizens in California. The U.S. Supreme Court’s action was not a decision and set no national precedent. It merely left in place the lower court ruling. November 1997

Residents of Franklin and Bovina will vote on propositions involving alcoholic beverages. The Bovina proposition would have the operation of a year-round hotel with a full-service restaurant to sell alcoholic beverages for customers to drink inside the hotel. In addition, unopened containers of beer may be sold “to go” for people to open and drink at other locations. The Franklin proposition would allow the sale of alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises where sold. John Campbell, Franklin Chamber of Commerce president and council member said some Franklin people felt it would be nice if there was a good restaurant in Franklin where people could enjoy a glass of wine or other alcoholic drink with a meal.

A Convention could also provide an opportunity to expand protections related to the environment, healthcare and vulnerable populations, or address other timely issues. Those opposed to holding a Convention raise concerns that delegate elections may be unduly influenced by funding from special interest groups, resulting in a delegate pool not truly representative of the diverse citizens of the state. Concerns also include its

Let’s accept the fact that, while unappreciated by some and too little appreciated by both, the Foothills Performing Arts Center is here to stay, and it’s a treasure. • While Foothills is stable, the Oneonta Theatre is as challenged as it’s been since 2009, when entrepreneur Tom Cormier picked up the landmark for $175,000, put on a new roof, cleaned up the interior, and found a niche in entertainment for a younger crowd – plus funky novelties like pro wrestling – for the historic venue. Cormier – tired, according to Patrice Macaluso, who leads FOTOT, Friends of the Oneonta Theatre – he put the building back on the market a year ago for $750,000. No bites yet.

Bob Wood ‘Hears Your Voice’ To the Editor: Over the course of the past four years, I have had the privilege of serving as an Oneonta Town Board member with Bob Wood. His integrity and commitment to the people of this community are unsurpassed. Despite our differing political affiliations, Bob works together respectfully with other board members to address the issues affecting our community. Over 40 new businesses and 84 homes have been created under Bob Wood’s leadership, creating hundreds of jobs for our residents and growing our tax base. He has also obtained millions of dollars in grants for our town residents. He is strongly supportive of an equitable contract to maintain professional fire
service to protect our lives and property. His mission to protect the environment has been steadfast. He passed the ban on fracking and legislation to streamline the solar process. Bob Wood has years of experience in municipal service. He has a strong history of excellent management of our town’s budget. The Town of Oneonta is solidly in the black, with services maintained with minimal tax increases. He hears your voice and has the experience to keep our town on the right tract. I support his effort to continue his work as Town Supervisor. Please vote for Bob Wood on election day, Nov. 7. PATRICIA JACOB Member Oneonta Town Board
To the Editor: Four years ago, Craig Gelbsman joined me on the Otsego County Board of Representatives when he was elected to represent District 12 (Wards 3 & 4), City of Oneonta. During his first year of service Craig listened, observed, researched and learned as much as he could of how our county government ran and how our county departments operated. I thought that those habits may change some, yet they have not. When Craig analyzes a problem or a need for our county, he breaks the issue down, examines each element and researches options or substitutions. Why
do we need this? How can we do this better? Can this be more user friendly? Can this be done more efficiently and economically to help save our employees time and taxpayers’ money? These are all questions that Craig is constantly asking. My time on the board has taught me that real change takes time, energy and perseverance. Government moves slowly. Craig has shown that when he believes in the proposed change, he is willing and able to build the consensus required to ensure the change is created. Some examples of changes or improvements that Craig helped to make are: • The communications towers upgrades • The recent successful implementation of the shared-services purchasing
agreement with Onondaga County, • Our streamlined budgetary process. • The development and drafting of our county strategic plan, which includes the recommendation of the exploration of a centralized leadership position for the county. • The vehicle leasing and maintenance program. • The county nepotism policy that is currently moving through the committee system of approvals. Craig was influential in determining both the need for and the development of many of these policy and procedure changes. Craig strived for nearly two years to get the shared-services purchasing agreement in place and fully implemented. This agreement has saved Otsego County several hundreds of thousands of dollars since its inception and it will keep saving our taxpayers money, as Craig
just helped negotiate a three-year extension. Other counties are now attempting to replicate this very agreement. At a recent budget meeting, County Treasurer Dan Crowell stated, “The county is in the best financial position that it has been in a decade.� This is true because of many difficult decisions made over the past several years by Craig and his colleagues. Craig works diligently and tirelessly for Otsego County and his constituents. He meets daily with residents or other board representatives to discuss their concerns and how to move the city and county forward. Please help keep this hardworking and dedicated public servant in office. Reelect Craig Gelbsman to represent District 12, Wards 3 & 4, on Nov. 7. ED FRAZIER Unadilla Vice Chair
Former Colleague Endorses Otsego Town Board To the Editor: I write to enthusiastically endorse Otsego Town Supervisor Meg Kiernan and her fellow town board members Carina Franck and Tom Hohensee in their bids for reelection on Nov. 7. Kiernan stepped up to provide muchneeded leadership for the town after a few years away from the town board. She knows the ins and outs of all aspects of town business and how to efficiently conduct town board meetings. Although she is running unopposed, it’s worth noting how lucky the town is to have her as the supervisor, given her skills and integrity. I had the pleasure of serving with both Carina and Tom during my tenure on the town board. I don’t know of two more conscientious people than these two. They do their homework, show up prepared, work for solutions to problems, and consistently treat everyone with respect. No exceptions. That’s worth something. A lot, in my book. Amongst other accomplishments, all three have made considerable effort to improve communication between the town board,
the planning board, and the zoning board of appeals. This has been no small task, particularly given the ill will between the town and planning board in past years - an enmity that served no one. Thankfully, that has subsided, and each of the boards now appear to respect the role each serves. In other matters, they have maintained a balanced budget, limited the tax burden, worked to ensure the safety of the town highway employees with the establishment of a Safety Committee, promoted preservation of historic buildings, supported residents in preventing the state from taking their property along Otsego Lake, responded to constituents concerns over speeding, collaborated with neighboring towns on training for town employees, and promoted the growth of our town while maintaining its historical and financial integrity. It’s quite a balancing act, and they do it well. They deserve our gratitude for their service and definitely our vote on Nov. 7! JULIE HUNTSMAN Fly Creek

Bohm, Wenner Run To Stop Residents From Using ‘Hammer Of Government’ To the Editor: What would it be like if everyone minded one’s own business? What would a community look like that practiced the Golden Rule. Or actually loved thy neighbors as themselves. There are very few places where these principles prevail. This community has long since lost its way in this regard and local government bears some of the blame. Government, sometimes corrupt and always inept, has inserted itself into all our business. It always uses outlandish improbabilities to scare people into giving up their rights. Somewhere, sometime, someone might cry “fire” in a crowded theater, therefore we must give up the idea that freedom of speech is not limitless. Someone might build a skyscraper next door and block out the sun, therefore property rights are not sacred. I’m reminded of what Benjamin Franklin said: ”Anyone who gives up liberty for security will lose both and deserves neither”. What has government really given us in the name of security? First and foremost is constant strife between neighbors, eventually pitting half the community against the other half. Feuds used to be between families. Government in its arrogance has raised the bar to create town, county and even statewide
feuds, all under the supposed umbrella of protecting people from their neighbors. It’s encouraged anyone with an ax to grind to file anonymous complaints against fellow citizens without even the pretense of suffering any kind of negative impact or even living near enough to see the offense. The hammer of government lies close at hand for anyone willing to wield it against his fellow man. In the end, those with the money to fight their way through the bureaucracy end up doing what they want anyway, leaving those counting on government as protector bitter and regretting lost time and in many cases, money. The only winners in this game are the “certified” professional classes necessary to maneuver in the bureaucratic maze, and, of course, those who enjoy the power of allowing or denying the consent of government. I trust my neighbors to decide what’s best for their families far more than bureaucrats, elected or appointed, who would wield the government hammer to force their controlling agenda on an ever more divided community. Rob Bohm and I are running for Otsego Town Board. If you share these views, we’d appreciate your support. CARL WENNER Fly Creek
As Coach, Bliss Demonstrates Calm, Caring To the Editor: This is a letter of support for David Bliss to be re-elected to represent the citizens of District 7 as their Otsego County Board representative. Many letters of recommendation have been sent over the years highlighting the leadership skills of David Bliss. Most readers know he is an accomplished leader as the incumbent for District 7 and as the long time Middlefield town supervisor prior to being elected to the county board. However, I believe the integrity and character of David Bliss is perhaps best exhibited by his quiet demeanor as an example he sets for the youth in our community. For many years, David Bliss has provided guidance for the Cooperstown High School girls’ winning softball teams. He has been an excellent role model for the girls, for the
fans, the parents and grandparents. I have personally witnessed Dave’s calmness under fire whether the team was winning or losing. I was one of those grandparents. My granddaughter said it best when she said, “Mr. Bliss never gets rattled, he is always good to us even when we lose.” Dave has earned the respect of all who observed his coaching, and especially his concern for all members of his team on the field and off the field. I can personally attest to his attention and caring for students who needed someone to help them. Please join me in voting for this solid leader, coach and good man who is committed to making the County of Otsego better than it has ever been before for all of us. JACK HENSON Town of Middlefield
Marietta ‘Much-Neeeded Transformational Force’
To the Editor: The purpose of this letter is to outline why I am strongly supporting Andrew Marietta in his reelection as a county representative for Cooperstown and the Town of Otsego. Andrew has worked tirelessly for his constituents as a representative for District 8. He has shown great courage in standing against the status quo and calling for change. He has worked on a bipartisan basis with colleagues on the county board to create the role of county manager. The current business model used by the board of management by committee
is seriously failing taxpayers. Hopefully a new slate of county representatives this election year will move this initiative forward. He supports term limits for county representatives. He has significantly improved communication with his constituents, informing them of Board actions and important issues facing local government. He has fostered greater communication between county representatives and the directors of the various county departments, narrowing a divide which has existed. He has lobbied county board leadership to provide greater transparency.
Andrew has been dedicated to community service for decades, including serving on the Cooperstown Central school board. In his professional life he has acted as a consultant assisting hundreds of not for profits, like the Cooperstown Food Pantry, Girls on the Run, Family Service Association, Otsego Land Trust and Family Resource Center to accomplish their missions. A vote for Andrew will bring a much-needed transformational force to the county board and its governance. ROBERT HANFT Cooperstown

Katz: Marietta ‘Honest, Communicative’ To the Editor: When Andy Marietta was elected to the Otsego County Board of Representatives in 2015, he was a breath of fresh air – an honest and communicative county representative, more interested in doing productive work for his constituents than engaging in destructive, self-serving and politically motivated acts. As mayor of Cooperstown and resident in the district, I can’t thank Andy enough for his fine public service. Nothing would change this county for the better than to have a constructive and productive county government. In his two
years on the board, Andy has been a voice for positive change, both on his own or with colleagues from both parties. He looks for countywide solutions, not small-minded political wins, and gets his ideas from the evidence in front of him, not from meetings with political operatives. He does good work, striving to fix age-old problems and put the county on a good path. I support Andy Marietta 100 percent and hope you will too by voting for him on Nov. 7.

increased recycling opportunities, and economic development initiatives. Andy has been a tireless advocate for village concerns, and I have been able to routinely turn to him for ideas, support, and information. One of the strengths that Andy brings to the position is his experience in nonprofit management. In his position at the New York Council of Nonprofits, Andy helps organizations become more strategic, efficient, and cost effective. While there are differences between municipal government and not-for-profit institutions, there is much overlap when it comes to best practices. The importance of shortand long-term planning, realistic accounting of human and financial resources, and efficient structuring and processes all make for more effective government and nonprofit organizations. Andy’s work as a county representative over the past two years – including participation in planning efforts, advocacy for more streamlined procedures, and clarification of the roles of elected county officials and county staff – demonstrates how his vocation makes him a more effective county legislator. One of the things that I most appreciate about Andy’s service as a county representative is his commitment to open, honest communication. County board meetings and most county committee meetings take place during the workday. For those of us who can’t attend, Andy has made concerted efforts to provide updates and even recordings via social media. That doesn’t mean that he has ignored face-to-face communication, but rather than he has reached out in new ways to engage more people more often in the business of our county. When you vote on Nov. 7, there will be a lot to consider. There are three propositions on the ballot in addition to several local elections. I hope that in the Town of Otsego the decision for county representative is an easy one and that you join me in voting for Andrew Marietta. CINDY FALK Trustee Village of Cooperstown
To the Editor: I’m writing to urge you to vote for Peggy Leon for Middlefield Town Board. Voting for Peggy will require a little extra effort as she is running as a write in candidate, but the effort will be worth it. Peggy’s concern for her community has been demonstrated repeatedly over the last several years. She has served on the CCS Board of Education, chaired the PTO and volunteered with a number of organizations including the Cooperstown Concert Series, the Village Library and the food pantry. Peggy’s willingness to take on controversial issues was shown when she took a leading role in convincing the town board that a majority of residents opposed fracking in the Town of Middlefield. Peggy has accomplished a good deal as a concerned citizen, give her the opportunity to accomplish even more as a member of the town board. Remember, her name will not appear on the ballot.

Andrew’s background, knowledge and personal integrity prove that he is the right man to represent our community on this important caucus. Representative Stammel does not follow strictly party lines or support special interests. His interests are with the community members who have elected him. He will listen to our concerns, do his research, take a stand that he feels is right for us, and tell us honestly what he thinks. Isn’t this just the kind of representation we want to continue?

He is the most honest and trustworthy friend I have. I can think of no better person to be on the Otsego County Board of Representatives than Breck Tarbell. He has been involved for many years with the Oneonta Lions Club and is a current member of the Oneonta Planning Board. Having lived in Oneonta for well over 40 years he has a keen sense of the needs of the area and with his background as a local business owner, his leadership skills, and his dedication to the Oneonta community, there can be no better choice than Breck Tarbell for Otsego County Board of Representatives. On Nov. 7, please vote, and vote for Breck Tarbell. ROBERT SALVADOR Vero Beach, Fla.

Berliant ‘Strong, Knowledgeable,’ Will Be ‘Strong, Energetic Leader’ To the Editor: Leslie Berliant is running for county representative of District 7 (the towns of Middlefield, Cherry Valley and Roseboom) and during this campaign she has shown herself to be a strong, energetic leader. Leslie’s priority is working with Otsego County communities to develop achievable, common-sense solutions. She is a thoughtful, compassionate listener who has made our concerns her concerns. Leslie Berliant will be a representative we can trust: She is visible in our communities, and she is approachable. She is an effective communicator and creative negotiator, as demonstrated by her role as a founder and owner of successful businesses that help and train individuals to expand their markets. Leslie Berliant understands that many people are frustrated with the county board’s inaction on key issues. We have been waiting for years for the board to hire a county manager: a full-time professional who oversees projects through to completion. Important projects have fallen through the cracks because no one fills this important role. For example, there are many parts of Otsego County still without Internet and cell service – in 2017! In addition, despite the impor-
tance of agriculture to the economy of Otsego County and the livelihoods of its citizens, there is no agricultural committee on the board. Farmers, producers and entrepreneurs need help growing their economic opportunities, and they need a cooperative effort getting their goods to market. Our roads are in rough shape because the highway department has been down several people for years; solving infrastructure problems would create jobs for Otsego County. Leslie Berliant brings these issues to light, and she has talked with community members about common-sense solutions to problems that have faced Otsego County for years. She is fiscally responsible, and we can be certain that she will push for transparency, accountability and cooperation so we will have a realistic and balanced budget, avoiding the declining financial health experienced by the Town of Middlefield. Leslie Berliant understands our needs. She has proven to be an effective communicator and a strong, knowledgeable leader. On Nov. 7, please remember to vote and remember that a vote for Leslie Berliant is a vote for all of us! TAMARA SABA Cherry Valley

Cuyle Keeps Busy With Tom Cruise, ‘Modern Family,’ ‘Walking Dead’ CUYLE/From B1 man, Tom Cruise and the whole crew!” With three scenes total, Carvin aimed for the one where he would have dialogue with Cruise. “I was just thinking ‘I have to get this,’” he said. “I got the bigger part, and we went right to work.” And despite his moviestar status, Cruise made Cuyle feel right at home. “He took the time to talk to me, we shot ideas back and forth, he was superfriendly,” he said. “He was everything you would hope he would be.” He also looked up to Cruise’s professionalism. “I’ve been on sets where the actors don’t even bother to learn their lines,” he said.
“But we ran some rehearsals, then the director made some changes to the script, and he was able to get those lines on the fly. He’s a pro.” Though the scene they shot was two minutes long, only about 30 seconds of it made it into the final film. “I was hesitant to tell anyone, just in case they cut my scene,” he said. “They focused a lot on Tom, but I’m there!” However, there was no red-carpet premier for him to attend – while shooting the next installment in the “Mission Impossible” franchise, Cruise, who does his own stunts, broke his ankle. The movie played at the Southside Mall cinema in Oneonta in early October. “I wanted to have a premier

in Oneonta, but because we didn’t have the Hollywood premier, I didn’t even know if I was in the movie,” he said. “Next time. I’d love to host a screening of a movie for my hometown.” “American Made” is not Carvin’s only role of late. He’s appeared in two episodes of this season of “Modern Family” as a firefighter, including “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Phil Dunphy,” which aired Oct. 25 and is slated to appear in “The Walking Dead” on Sunday, Nov. 12. “I play one of Negan’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) guys,” he said. A fan of the AMC’s hit show since the beginning, he auditioned “four or five times” for a part before

landing a role as one of the villainous Negan’s violent “saviors” in the episode “Some Guy.” “It’s so secretive that they don’t tell you who you’re
auditioning for,” he said. “They give you fake characters, fake lines, and when you book the role, you don’t know if it’s for one episode or a whole season.”
Carvin and his girlfriend, “Code Black” actress Angela Relucio, bought a house in Senoia, Ga., where the show films. “Atlanta is the new Hollywood,” he said. “So much is filming there.” When the couple is filming in L.A., they rent the house to “Walking Dead” fans. “We’re right across the street from the set of this season,” he said. “You can watch them film.” Carvin, a 1999 OHS grad, is the son of Nadine Stenson, Oneonta, and William Carvin, Dandridge, Tenn. And with one major film under his belt, Carvin knows it’s only a matter of time before he’s on the marquee. “This is just the beginning,” he said.
Young Local Singer Sought To Perform With D.C. Troupe PRINCE/From B1 “The holidays are important for families, so it’s logical to hold a performance that’s suitable for all ages,” said Zambello. “The story is timeless and beautiful.” The opera follows a pilot whose plane has gone down in the Sahara and is rescued by a magical prince from a nearby planet. The two share stories of their travels and those they have met — a wise fox, a delusional king, a scientist and others – and learn to view the world through each other’s eyes. “There are some funny numbers, some of them are moving and some of them are melancholic,” Zambello said. “There’s a lot of humor and charm in the show, so it’s perfect for all ages.” Currently in rehearsals at the Washington National Opera, the show features Christian Bowers as the pilot,
a former Young Artist at the Festival. Previously, Bowers performed as Clyde Griffiths in 2014’s “An American Tragedy,” and Maximilian in “Candide” in 2015. Also returning to the Cooperstown stage from the Kennedy Center are Allegra Del Vita, Raquel Gonzalez and Lisa Williamson, with James Lowe conducting. “That this is coming from the Kennedy Center to Cooperstown is a big deal,” said Zambello. “These performers have a connection with the community, they’re staying here, and it infuses a lot of music into the community.” In 2014, Cooperstown’s Henry Wager played the Little Prince at the Kennedy Center. He will perform in the chorus, as well as serve as the assistant on the production. But Zambello wants to make sure
the community gets involved in the show as well as in the audience. “We’re not bringing in the chorus from D.C.,” she said. “We need 20 children ages 7-17 to learn the music and sing.” There are no auditions, and because the musical isn’t staged, the only requirement is commitment to the rehearsal schedule. Those interested should e-mail auditions@ glimmerglass.org. “It’s perfect for kids who are a little nervous about auditions,” said Zambello. “It’s a great way in. And if more than 20 want to join in, we’ll expand the chorus!” And in returning to the high school, Zambello is bringing the company back to where they began in 1975. “We’re returning to our roots,” she said. “And we’d love to do this every year.”

Huntington Library Seeks To Attract Public To Park PARK/From A1
century-old park that tycoon Henry Huntington deeded in 1917 along with his family mansion to what became the Huntington Memorial Library, has been used mostly for passive recreation. “It can be scary,” said Tina Winstead, library director. “A lot of people don’t want to walk through it.” But more people actively using the leafy five-acre refuge in Center City would change that, Winstead and the six-member library board reasoned. With the Huntington Library’s centennial celebration beginning this Friday, Nov. 3, at 6 p.m. the public will get a first peek at what Tom Breiten of Templeton Landscape Architecture, Fly Creek, calls a “very preliminary conceptual plan” for the five-acre site. (That afternoon, 3:30-5 p.m., “good old-fashioned family fun” is planned, with free face-painting and balloons, and BJ the Clown performing.) “We want to make Huntington Park a place that every community member will come and use,” said Winstead in an interview. Huntington himself perceived the space as more than just a park – hence, the rotunda – and was actually en route here to discuss future plans when he died suddenly in Philadelphia in 1927. Winstead has received preliminary drawings from Breiten that show a formal garden, a children’s garden – not a playground – where pre-school youngsters stopping by with mom can simply play, a circular “respite” area were library goers can rest and perhaps chat with each other, and even an open tent-like “entertainment area.” After Breiten and Palmer met with the library board – Carolyn Austin, chair; and members Richard Jasper, David Hyland, John Pontius, Glenda Bolton and Ruth Allen – they went into the park to talk to
The “Rotunda,” part of the original Huntington Park, was demolished in the 1960s. people using it. During one of their visits, the Community Concert Band was performing, courtesy of the Greater Oneonta Historical Society, inspiring the entertainment venue. Those conversations became part of “a melding,” Breiten said, “of what the client envisions and what other possibilities the architect might see.” He described the setting – the mansion and adjoining park – as Victorian-Edwardian, and the plans that will be unveiled Friday are seeking to capture some of the original ambience. After the public inputs and further board discussion, the plans are firmed up, then the fundraising will begin, said Winstead. She anticipates the upgrades could be accomplished with funding in the $100,000 range. The library director expressed optimism that amount could be raised, as Huntington Memorial has a history of outside support. When Henry Huntington – he assumed and expanded the business interests of his uncle, Collis Huntington, one of California’s “Big Four” who founded the Central Pacific Railroad that linked the nation – donated the library and park to the library board, he established what was then a sizeable endowment: $200,000. The library still garners $12,000 a year from endowment.
In the 1972, community leader and attorney Henry Hulbert established a community board that raised $6 million, which generates another $240,000 annually. Other contributions, including a donation from the Town of Oneonta, adds up to $480,000 of the $800,000 budget. City Hall makes up the difference, but the Huntington, Winstead said, is still something of a bargain. Equivalent cities – Norwich and Elmira, for instance – spending about $1 million a year on their libraries. The library actually maintains the park, not the city. Things have changed in the past century, of course, according to Sarah Livingston, the adult services librarian who will be recounting the library’s history at Friday’s gathering. Huntington offered his family’s property in 1917, but the Oneonta Public Library had been chartered in 1893, and had moved to several locations in 24 years. Under the Huntington’s first librarian, Elizabeth Blackall, the facility was only open from 2-9 p.m. Mondays. Under Winstead, it’s open six days a week, 59 hours in all. Usage and other measurements have likewise grown. Arriving here four years ago, Winstead first focused on customer service, removing obstacles to taking out and returning books. “Nobody gets mad at us anymore,” her staff told her. She has also initiated significant advances in making new technologies available to the community. With services like 3D copiers, patrons are “not just consuming information; they’re creating it.” In this context, plans for the park are part of a piece. “It’s been 100 years,” Winstead said. “It’s time to bring this place into the 21st century, to bring this place back to its place of glory.”

said Brannan. “We made a lot of adjustments at halftime, and shifted to pretty much all out attack for the second half.” Mother Nature proved to be the deciding factor in the game. With a strong wind at their backs, Oneonta came back to score four unanswered goals in the second half, the first coming off a clever free-kick taken by Oneonta midfielder Alex Brannan immediately after the whistle as Elmira Notre Dame organized their defense. Brannan took the kick while no one was looking, and the ball curled into the back of the net, which was met by a great deal of objection from Elmira Notre Dame. After conferring for a while, the referees allowed the goal and Oneonta was on the board. This opened the flood gates for Oneonta as Brannan assisted the next goal by Eamon Geraghty just 10 minutes later. Both Brannan and Geraghty finished with a goal and an assist, while Tanner Beang scored the go ahead goal with 26:13

doubt that students want to come to Hartwick, but the question was always how to afford it.” “We want to show our families that a private education is not beyond their reach,” said McGrath. “We want to make this available to all.” And should a student need to take a year off, the money will still be available when they return. “They keep this award, even if their circumstances change,” said Drugovich. When the announcement was made last Wednesday, prospective students began to call immediately. “Our phones were ringing off the hook!” said McGrath. “Parents and guidance counselors were very interested.” “One of our alumni wrote and said that their son wasn’t considering applying, but that now he might have to!” said Drugovich. “We’re hoping that students who might have been concerned about paying for college will take a second look at Hartwick.” It is the first of such scholarships in the state and, Drugovich believes, the country. “As the whole free-college movement rolls out across the country, private colleges have to think about what they’re going to do,” said Drugovich. “Schools are looking at creating different strategies for merit-based scholarships,” said McGrath. “But in boldly celebrating our history this way, we’re the first. There have been other smaller awards at other schools, but none like this.”

OHS Soccer Team Heads To State Tourney STATES/From A1 championship tournament after winning the Class B Section IV title Saturday, Oct. 28. “We seem to be getting stronger as the season goes on,” said Head Coach Alex Brannan, who has been coaching at Oneonta for 30 years. The Yellowjackets won in a 4-2 come-from-behind win, against the same team that knocked them out of the tournament one year ago. Kicking into the wind in the first half, Oneonta came close to scoring on two different occasions, but with the ball cleared off the line by Elmira Notre Dame, the game remained scoreless until 5:46 left in the half, when Elmira Notre Dame scored their first goal. 90 seconds later, they scored their second, and Oneonta fell into a 2-0 hole. After going down by two goals just before halftime, Head Coach Alex Brannan said that his team made a lot of adjustments. “That second goal really broke our game plan,”

10K/From A1 to our students.” When Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the Enhanced Tuition Awards – the private college part of his Excelsior free-tuition program – Hartwick declined to take part. “We wanted to put our financial aid resources up front, rather than asking families to go through the motions for an extra $2,000,” Karen McGrath, vice president/enrollment management, said at the time. “I think we can do better justice for our students.” Now Hartwick is. “We would have to match whatever the state gave the student, whether it was $1 or $3,000,” said Drugovich. “This award is much more generous, with no strings or income cap.” With the $10,000 award, the $56,000-a-year cost of attending Hartwick – tuition, room and board, and fees – falls to $46,000. From there, students will also be able to apply for need and merit-based scholarships, as well as financial aid. 75 percent of Hartwick College students are from New York, and the award is available to transfer students as well. Students do not have to apply for the award; it is automatically applied to their tuition package each year, whether a student receives financial aid or pays for their tuition in full. “This is the foundation upon which our aid program is built,” said Drugovich. “We understand that affordability is a real issue.
