Narcan Doesn’t Work On Drug Now In Market

T

hanks to a donation from the Future for Oneonta Foundation, the roof of the neo-colonial clock tower on the Municipal Building – old City Hall – will be replaced.

“I’m thinking back to when that clock didn’t work, there was bad paint, a bad roof, and I’m glad we’re on our way to saving the clock tower,” said Council member Dave Rissberger, Third Ward.

The gift – the amount was not specified – was unanimously accepted by Common Council Tuesday, July 5.

TEMPORARY BUMP: City Hall Housing Specialist Jeff House was given a $5,000 raise by Common Council this week to take on the responsiblities of Community Development Director Bill Kerbin until a successor may be found.

Kerbin’s last day was Friday, July. He had accepted a town manager position in Virginia.

n the continued fight against heroin, what scares Oneonta Police Lt. Douglas Brenner the most is what he doesn’t see.

Drug dealers are no longer labeling their product, making it impossible to get a bad batch off the street.

“They realize that’s how we can trace it,” he said. “The baggies we’re finding aren’t Brenner stamped anymore.

You don’t know what you’re getting.”

Last January, a slew of fatal overdoses were linked to Fentanyl-laced heroin marked “Diesel.” But without that labeling, users might be using drugs more potent than they’re used to.

And in Cooperstown, Police Chief Michael Covert just dealt with his first case of an overdose from synthetic heroin. “It doesn’t respond well to Narcan,” he said.

“You will die from it.”

Synthetic “designer drugs” are made to be cheap and to slip past authorities, often by changing just one piece of the chemical compound. “That’s the biggest problem,” said Brenner.

nd what about those train whistles?

A budding debate in the City of Oneonta – are train whistles too loud, and what can be done about it? – evokes memories of a not-too-distant day when trains rolls through most towns.

Remember lying in bed, hearing the nightly freight train rumble toward the crossing at the bottom of the hill.

And then the whistle ... hoot ... hoot.

And then, sleep.

Walt Whitman wrote about it, “The steamwhistle, the solid roll of the train of approaching cars.” And Johnny Cash. And Arlo Guthrie.

Council Council Member Paul Van der Sommen, First Ward, brought a constituency complaint to his colleagues.

Is it possible, he asked, for a quiet zone to be declared? Probably not, he was told: The whistles may be poetic, but they are useful, too, in preventing accidents.

Federal law, it was said, requires whistles to be blown at all crossings.

pensive, then we opt for inconsistency instead.

Hmm. • Trustee Falk said the Village Board doesn’t know how many parking spaces this new approach will eliminate, but probably some. The standard parking space in the village is 18-feet long.

Let’s not blame Falk for this. She’s aboard, but the measure required the support of her Village Board colleagues.

Underlying all of this is that, for 100 days a year, there are insufficient parking spaces in the Village of Cooperstown to serve the demand. But the answer isn’t to reduce the number of spaces, it’s figuring out how to expand them. That, so far, has eluded the Village Board.

Next week, the Zika virus.

• Sure, this is a marginally better solution than the white “driveway boxes” that, in past village administrations, were painted on the pavement and ate up considerably more public space for private purpose. This is just 2 feet of yellow paint on the curb, and it has to be painted by the homeowner, according to the specifications in a permit obtained from 22 Main.

This will apply only to streets where there’s no paid parking, since streets with paid parking have drawn parking spaces. Of course, the village could paint parking spaces, a consistent – and enforceable – solution to the perceived problem, but a probably too expensive one. If consistency is too ex-

Fear Of Fining Ruins Cooperstown Experience To the Editor: As a visitor to Cooperstown, I must say the parking situation is a mess!

I live on Long Island, with relatives in a town nearby Cooperstown. I came to visit the Hall of Fame (it’s been at least 20 years) and walk the streets afterwards to do some window shopping with my wife.

I noticed that there is now paid parking just about everywhere, and nervous people running all over, fulfilling their parking meter time at your wonderful parking ATMs. Of course, by the time I put two and two together, I was already in debt to the town of Cooperstown for $35.

violation, my wife and I packed up and left. I don’t see how this can be good for your local merchants when it comes to making any sort of revenue for their businesses.

I was totally disgusted by this as I watched every visitor leave their lunch and go put MORE money in the till.

How do you expect people to come to your lovely little town, the birthplace of baseball, and enjoy themselves in “two hours” before they are fined. It takes that long to walk up one side of the street if you enjoy stopping in each store to look around.

Does the village government feel good about themselves for forcing visitors from all over the country, who

come to their lovely hamlet, to play a parking meter pay race to keep the meter full, or risk getting a violation.

They shouldn’t, they are hurting the merchants, and tarnishing the good name of this wonderful little town.

Shame on you!! Local government should use all the fine money they get, and put plans into effect for a large scale PAY PARKING LOT. Think about it, I’m sure it’s not that hard to figure out. Feel free to come and visit me in Riverhead, on Long Island; you can park there for free.

Promote Positive Relationships To Your Children To the Editor, Your June 17 editorial put the issue of violence and sexual orientation together.

For some reason, it got me thinking about violence in the gay subculture. My curiosity was also spurred by the revelation that Omar Mateen, the Orlando shooter, was gay.

First, my thoughts and prayers are with those friends and family who are grieving the loss of their loved ones. It’s hard to look objectively at this mass

murder with all the emotions that are being displayed and with conservatives and liberals trying to put their own spins on it.

The conservatives want us to believe the shooting was a terrorist attack. Yes, Mateen was checking out radical Islamic websites.

But how does that compare to his taking up a homosexual lifestyle? The Muslim world is pretty void of homosexuals. So he could not have been strongly connected to Islam.

The liberals spin is that it was a hate crime that would not have been quite as devastating if we as a society had more gun control. I find this argument to be half right at best. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Mateen was motivated by anger and revenge because he was gay and had been infected with the AIDS virus by a male sex partner. His being a Muslim might also have been a factor in that his family would likely have Please See KABAT, A6

The Normal team closed its base ball season on Friday last against the Stamford team, the self-styled champions of Delaware County. The Normals of ’91, however, went out in a blaze of glory, winning 17-6. The Normals have had a very successful season, both financially and otherwise. The team has played nine games – seven at home and two elsewhere, and of those nine games, eight were victories. The Normals have made more runs, more hits and also more errors than their opponents, and their success is largely due to superior batting. As they have met and defeated the best teams of Otsego and Delaware counties they certainly have a clear title to the championship of these counties.

and not insane.

In 1892 the classifications had increased and become more precise. Alcohol as a cause of mental illness was no longer a classifying factor and the types of dementia had been expanded. There were four classifications of mania: acute, sub-acute, recurrent, and chronic; three classifications of melancholia: acute, subacute, and chronic; primary and tertiary dementia; alternating or circulating insanity, which would become known as manic-depressive disorder; general paralysis; epilepsy; imbecility; and the not insane.

The system found to be used in 1892 uses Hammond’s fifth classification, compound insanities, to diagnose their patients. Compound insanities were comprised of more than one form of mental faculty that is “deranged.” The fact that compound insanities were among the most common demonstrates that mental illnesses were often more complex than a simple diagnosis.

The general consistency of classification at the Utica State Hospital over the span of more than two decades is interesting because it stood in contradiction of the debates that had been fought since the Ray’s simple, yet notably modern, division of insanity along the line of brain development in 1838.

In the 1873 annual report of the state Board of Charities, the commissioners of Public Charities came down on the division that Ray, Hammond, and Krafft-Ebbing were unable to satisfactorily explain in their treatises and systems of classification: the issue of idiocy.

The board wrote that because “idiocy not being, like insanity, a disease, but a condition of arrested mental development, due unquestionably to physical causes,” was, first, a condition that could be cured and, second, was differentiated from cases of insanity.

Hammond clung tightly to arrested mental development as one of the classification of insanity in his system, even though he did not provide any classifying information, and Krafft-Ebbing argues that when the physical developments of the “psychic organ” (the brain), the result was the interference in the brain’s capacity to perform psychic functions needed to coalesce into society.

The division between insanity and idiocy was highlighted in the documents of the state Board of Charities at both the state level, with the facilities for the mentally ill such as the state Lunacy Asylum at Utica, Willard Asylum for the Insane, and the Hudson River State Hospital and the facilities for the care of the feebleminded at the New York Asylum for Idiots at Syracuse; and at the local level, consisting of more than 50 poorhouses across the state that provided support for more than 100,000 persons in 1869 and that supported cases of insanity and idiocy in the same, usually lacking, building.

The state institutions and asylums had well structured, complex systems of classification that were used determine the appropriate facility based on criteria found in an examination. The county poorhouses, on the other hand, used, in 1869, a six-category system that was as follows: lunatics, idiots, blind, deaf mutes, children under 16 years of age, and not stated.

As this paper used Utica State Hospital to exemplify the classification system that was used in the State facilities for the better part of the second half of the 19th century, the Otsego County poorhouse exemplified the classification system utilized during the same time period by local charities.

The plan to build the Otsego County poorhouse were devised in December 1826, two years after the passing of the 1824

After visiting poorhouses in counties of Albany, Columbia, and Rensselaer, the blueprints were drawn and several buildings, containing apartments, kitchen area, and a basic school, were constructed approximately three and a half miles south of Cooperstown, the county seat.

Twenty years later, a twostoried house was built to serve as an asylum for the insane of Otsego County. Though the poorhouse remained largely unchanged until the end of the nineteenth century, the classification system used to admit persons and to report their condition did change.

By 1896, the six-category system had been revised to the following: idiots, blind, deaf mutes, epileptics, children under 2, and children between 2 and 16.

In the span of less than two decades, the state Board of Charities saw all cases of insanity in county poorhouses vanish. The Board sought to relieve the burden of caring for the wide variety of cases that had been undertaken earlier in the century.

In the 1870s, the movement to remove children from county poorhouses began. In the spring of 1870, the “Orphan Home of the Holy Saviour, a Home and Industrial School for Orphans, Half-Orphans, and Destitute Children” was incorporated in Cooperstown and started accepting children from the county poorhouse.

KABAT/From A4 found out about his sexual orientation, leading to a terrible and shameful stain on his clan. I wouldn’t classify the massacre a hate crime.

Although not a hate crime, my prayers are still with the homosexual community because of the anguish this incident has provoked. That said, the issues above fed my curiosity to the point where I wondered about any correlation between homosexuality and violence. What I found out was quite surprising.

While sympathetic toward them, I’ve never hidden my disagreement with homosexual behavior and the subculture. The information I discovered only supported my disagreement. Mateen is not the first gay killer on a grand scale. The six most prolific serial killers were all gay men, including Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne

Gacy. This is certainly not to say gays are likely to be mass murderers like these psychopaths. However, what is important here is that their victims were mostly gay.

Which leads me to the stark fact that the homosexual subculture is far more violent than the mainstream heterosexual culture. It seems that the more light that shines on the darkness of the gay culture the more negatives there are.

The news media, which is dominated by liberals who follow the Gay Inc. spin on everything, refuses to turn the light on to such things as the astronomically higher suicide rates and out-of-theballpark HIV infections in the gay community.

Nor does it publicize the fact that while gays have fought for decades for the right to marry, their concept of marriage is quite differ-

ent from the vast majority of people in our culture. That is, fidelity for most gays is not in the equation in the bonds of homosexual marriage. There are no bonds for them.

Those who have dared to study this topic have found that violent sex is far more prevalent among homosexuals. Homosexuals are significantly more likely to be murdered, almost exclusively by other homosexuals (as reported in the Washington Blade). According to a Centers for Disease Control report, 47 percent of lesbians are victims of relational violence.

This paints a pretty bleak picture of homosexual relationships and that lifestyle.

It is not gay in the dictionary sense of the word. That is why I want to strongly promote heterosexuality over homosexuality. Promote positive heterosexual

ollowing a record warm winter, we have now had three months in a row with cooler-than-average temperatures.

June’s mean temperature was exactly 2 degrees below average; May was 0.7 degrees cooler than normal, and April was 4.1 degrees below the norm.

I’ll bet most of you thought June was warmer than usual, but we had two days when temperatures didn’t make it out of the 50s and three days that stayed in the 60s. We also had a lot of dry air in place during June and that allowed temperatures to fall below normal at night for a good

share of the month.

June’s was dry with exactly 3/4 of an inch less rain than normal.

May was even drier.

Some places in the county received much more rainfall than others on the 28th, as some pretty rugged thunderstorms rolled through the area. Some locations received over an inch, while others saw just a little more than a trace.

Precipitation for the first half of the year for is 2.40 inches below normal. From June 13 to June 27, we only received one 10th of an inch of rain!

Georgia Man’s Warning Of Mayhem On 4th Explored, Dismissed WORRY/From A1 during the grand finale of the fireworks show, under the cover of darkness, and with the noise of the fireworks muffling their gunfire, multiple ‘ISIS type terrorists’ will begin slaughtering innocent civilians with AK-47’s before eventually blowing themselves up with suicide vests,” he wrote.

“It’ll also come out that some of the terrorists in Oneonta were of Russian descent. They’ve got a

war with Russia beginning on 11/9 that needs justification after all.”

Czako claimed that he had uncovered the threat using “gematria,” a system of alphanumeric code that assigns numerical value to a word/name/phrase.

“We had people calling, messaging us on Facebook, asking us if we had seen the post,” said Brenner. “We contacted the FBI and Homeland Security, and they talked with the man who posted

Trains Too Noisy, Council Told NOISE/From A1 in the afternoon, it’s two little blows, but in the middle of the night, it’s like the guy fell asleep on his horn.”

Constituents brought similar complaints to the city’s Environmental Board in February and May. “It’s a quality of life issue,” said Council member Melissa Nicosia, Second Ward.

“It’s supposed to be two long, one short and one long. They have to blow the horn, because we don’t have safety gates up.”

A train whistle sounds at minimum of 96 decibels, approximately the same level of noise as a motorcycle or power lawn mower.

The board did look into applying to create a mini “quiet zone” with the Federal Railroad Administration, which would prohibit

the pulling the whistles within a quarter mile before and after the crossing.

According to the FRA, in a quiet zone, “engineers must begin to sound train horns at least 15 seconds, and no more than 20 seconds, in advance of all public grade crossings.”

Additionally, “if a train is traveling faster than 60 mph, engineers will not sound the horn until it is within 1/4 mile of the crossing, even if the advance warning is less than 15 seconds.”

But with the IDA giving consideration to redeveloping the railyards and Market Street, Mayor Gary Herzig says the quiet zone plans have been put on hold. “At this time, it’s not on our agenda,” he said.

it. He wasn’t making a threat; he thought he was warning us about them.”

The threats were ruled “not credible” by the FBI, and on Saturday, July 2, Czako posted an update stating, “God has mercifully resolved the situation in Oneonta.”

But Oneonta Police weren’t ready to dismiss the situation offhand. They met with state troopers to brief them on the situation

and take extra precautions prior to the event. “We put out extra patrols, and although we didn’t anticipate needing to, if we needed to go another step, we had the resources,” said Brenner.

Six state troopers were added to the park’s patrols, on top of the 15 police already stationed there. “It was good to have the extra hands and eyes out there,” said Brenner.

“The troopers were also monitoring the situation from the station.”

IN MEMORIAM Jerry Russell, 74; Played Organ For The Tones, Others ONEONTA – Gerald “Jerry” T. Russell Sr., 74, a well-known organist locally and accompanist for The Chymes, recording with them in New York City when they became better known as The Tones, passed away on June 25, 2016, in Oneonta.

Born on Dec. 4, 1941, to Vaughan and Bertha Russell, Jerry was a lifelong resident of Oneonta, spending his entire life on Harrison Avenue.

At age 8, Jerry started playing the piano and organ and took lessons at the New York City Radio Music Hall.

He was an accomplished organist at the age of 15, playing for numerous events such as the Lions Club Sportsmen’s Show, Otsego County Republican dinners, substituting as organist at the First United Methodist Church and the Morris Manor Chapel, as well as

organist for commencements at the Oneonta High School and Miss Oneonta Pageants.

Most importantly, Jerry Jerry was Russell the accompanist for The Tones, which became a well-known singing group, making records in New York City, and being the lead entertainment at many events in the area.

For many years, Jerry was a member of the Rex Pryor Orchestra, playing the piano for numerous engagements in the area and as far away as Saratoga. This was a highlight of his music career because of the camaraderie and the big band music which he loved.

Jerry had a fantastic ability to play a song without any music and was able to play a melody after hearing it once. His music scores were only a list of the song names.

Jerry was also an antique car enthusiast at one time owning seven antique cars.

He had an incredible knowledge of the working of the 31 Model A. Many people will remember him driving his 1931 Model A Coupe which he drove all times of year around town. He was a charter member of the Rolling Antiquer’s Old Car Club and spent many days in preparation for the annual show.

He was also sole proprietor of the Russell Painting Co., which he operated for 48 years from 1964 to 2012.

He would go above and beyond what was asked of him in his work thus helping

people with many odd jobs.

He was predeceased by his brother, John V. Russell, and his parents.

Jerry is survived by his wife of 51 years, Cecilia Judd Russell; sons, G. Thomas Russell Jr. (Melissa) and Rick S. Russell (Constanza). He also loved his grandchildren, Emma and Jacob; Briana, Sara and Lucas.

A Service of Remembrance will be at 2 p.m., Friday, July 8, at the First United Methodist Church, with the Rev. Teressa Sivers officiating. He will be laid to rest in the church columbarium.

Donations may be made to the First United Methodist Church for the Building Fund.

Arrangements are being made by the Lewis, Hurley & Pietrobono Funeral Home, Oneonta.

Leonora was known for her outgoing personality and commitment to positive thinking. As a graduate of the Dale Carnegie Course, she sometimes helped to facilitate the program.

She had a knack for turning challenges into opportunities. In the ’70s, she overcame her fear of heights by taking flying lessons and earning her pilot’s certificate.

As a real estate agent in the ’80s, one of her greatest delights was helping young couples find the perfect starter home. She owned and operated the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Agency on Main Street in Oneonta in the ’90s. She loved to own and remodel houses, and at one time owned eight homes on Main Street, Otego.

She was a member of The Gideons International, Otsego County Chamber of Commerce, and the Rotary.

Leonora had four children from a previous marriage who survive her: Greg Lapham (Roseanne) of Binghamton, Ellie Marrandette (David) of Wadsworth, Ohio, Bonnie Star (Paul) of Denver, Colo., and Peg Ballou (Sam) of Bucyrus, Ohio. Following her marriage to Burton Lobdell in June 1970, their combined families, with the addition of Faith Solomon, Linda Porter, Diane Erle, Gary “Butch” Lobdell and Michele Stoeger, comprised nine children, more than a dozen grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren.

When her grandchildren were young, she enjoyed hosting holiday gatherings at the Lobdell residence, 66

C State Attorney General Schneiderman will be among the legal and political experts providing perspective through Mainstage Guest Appearances.

Headliners To Provide Perspective

By SAM ALDRIDGE COOPERSTOWN

A

rt is never confined to a particular medium, and opera is no exception, as The Glimmerglass Festival is seeking to prove this summer, expanding its schedule of headlines from law, history and politics to widen appreciation for its shows.

The Mainstage Guest Appearances Jeffrey Toobin will include state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Jeffrey Toobin, who covers politics and law for The New Yorker.

From the musical stage, “Sweeney Todd” composer Stephen Sondheim and Jamie Bernstein will engage in a conversation at 5 p.m. July 30 between two shows.

“Each year, there is a theme,” Artistic & General Director Francesca Zambello said in an interview. “This year’s is: Unjust accusations.”

Among the shows on this summer’s program is “The Crucible,” Arthur Miller’s dramatization of the Salem witch trials and commentary on the “Red Scare” and McCarthyism. Schneiderman will join Faith Gay, Zambello’s spouse and a respected trial lawyer, and others at 4 p.m. July 23 to discuss the witch trials in the context of similar instances across history.

“A large part of this year’s theme is related to how people today take info on the Internet as fact,” said Zambello. “Opinion becomes fact. And that’s the basis of ‘The Crucible’.”

Schneiderman was approached not only for his legal knowledge, but also for his connection to the arts: His father Irwin Schneiderman served as the chairman of the board of the New York City Opera, Zambello said.

Also addressing the theme of “witch trials,” though specifically in the 20th and 21st centuries, will be Toobin, who is also senior legal analyst for CNN. That will be at 10 a.m. Aug. 13 at The Otesaga.

The relevance of a work like “The Crucible” could not be more apparent, said Zambello. At a time of instant information transfer and exhaustive media analysis, “the use of the critical faculty is diminishing.”

Following the legal theme, Justice Ginsburg will be making her fifth appearance at 3 p.m. Aug. 26 to discuss her perspective on law in the arts. Tickets for the event have already sold out.

“She has been very gracious every year,” said Zambello, who added that it is uncertain whether or not Justice Ginsburg will return to Glimmerglass next season.

urtain up! The Glimmerglass Festival 2016 has arrived.

This weekend will see the opening of two new productions of classics of the opera and musical theater repertory, followed by two additional openings over next two weekends. In August, a brand new youth opera, created for the youngest Glimmerglass artists, will have its debut.

“La boheme,” Puccini’s irresistible portrait of young artists in Paris, opens Friday, July 8, in a lush Belle Epoque setting evocative of the art of Toulouse-Lautrec, whose work, not by coincidence, is now at The Fenimore Art Museum.

Two singers from the 2015 Glimmerglass Young Artist Program are returning as stars: Raquel Gonzalez, the hilarious First Lady in “The Magic Flute” last year, will break our hearts as Mimi; Michael Brandenburg, outstanding as Macduff in “Macbeth,” is the poet Rodolfo.

Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd,” opening July 9, is getting a dramatic new look by director Christopher Alden: mass murder and meat pies are coming to post-war Britain.

Greer Grimsley, an acclaimed Wotan worldwide, is the homicidal barber seeking revenge; Luretta

Bybee is his accomplice, Mrs. Lovett. There will be blood, along with rich melodies and piercing wit.

Rossini’s “The Thieving Magpie” has a resourceful heroine, a talking bird and an effervescent, tuneful score, but the comedy takes a dark NIGHT AT turn with THE OPERA unjust accusations, Patricia a lecherThorpe ous man in power and a firing squad.

Once one of Rossini’s great successes, “Magpie” is seldom performed today; this is an American premier for an Italian-language production, and you won’t want to miss this rare bird. Former Glimmerglass Young Artist Rachele Gilmore stars as Ninetta; Michele Angelini is her true love. “The Thieving Magpie” opens July 16.

Arthur Miller used the Salem witch trials as an allegory for the McCarthy hearings of the 1950s in his play “The Crucible”: composer Robert Ward, working with Miller, turned it into a Pulitzer Prize-winning opera in 1962. The Glimmerglass production, directed by Francesca Zambello and opening July 23, features a glittering line-up of stars to illuminate one of the darkest moments in American history: Rich-

Karli Cadel/The Glimmerglass Festival

The Glimmerglass Festival’s new production of “La bohème” includes, from left, Rhys Lloyd Talbot as Colline, Brian Vu as Schaunard, Hunter Enoch as Marcello, Michael Brandenburg as Rodolfo, Raquel González as Mimì and Vanessa Becerra as Musetta.

ard Tucker award winner Jamie Barton; Jay Hunter Morris, 2016 Glimmerglass Artist in Residence; David Pittsinger, a Glimmerglass favorite who appeared as King Arthur in “Camelot”; and baritone Brian Mulligan as John Procter.

In 2015, the first Glimmerglass youth opera, “Odyssey”, was such a stunning success that additional performances were added, and they sold out fast.

This year, Kelley Rourke and composer Laura Karp-

&

man have woven together two of Oscar Wilde’s enchanting fairy tales to create “Wilde Tales”, performed in the Cooperstown Theatre Festival barn by the Glimmerglass Youth Chorus and members of the Young Artists Program. “Wilde Tales” opens Aug. 9 for seven performances.

In case these main stage productions don’t fill up your summer, there is a bounty of guest appearances – Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Deborah Voigt, Stephen

Sondheim, Christine Goerke, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, among others—as well as post-opera concerts and entertainment in the Lounge at very reasonable prices.

Check the schedule online at Glimmerglass.org or call the box office at 607-547-2255.

Pat Thorpe of Cooperstown, a writer and opera fan, will again be reviewing Glimmerglass Festival productions for The Freeman’s Journal & Hometown Oneonta.
