LET’S HOPE FOR FRESH ENERGY ON COMMON COUNCIL

Knocked Off Ballot, Brothers/Candidates Still Love Oneonta

O

neonta’s Roberts brothers have a point. Actually, they have a lot of points.

Walking down Oneonta’s Main Street sidewalk after an interview the other day, it was either Nate or Eric who pointed at the sidewalk and said, “That’s what we mean.”

He was pointing at a trail of dog droppings.

Four days before, someone had vomited in front of a nearby establishment. The vomit was still there. And cigarette butts – count ‘em. No, there are too many to count.

“The ordinances aren’t being kept up with,” Nate said.

The Roberts brothers had been planning to run for Common Council, Nate in Ward 4 (north of

Walnut Street) and Eric in Ward 8 (both sides of Lettis Highway and the downtown.)

But Democrats – Kathy Meeker in the Fourth and outgoing Council member Joe Ficano in the Eighth – challenged them on the party’s behalf, and the county Board of Elections last week removed the Robertses from the ballot.

Too bad, because the main impetus for their campaigns was the deterioration they see around them.

• For instance, Nate, 36, an entrepreneur – he operates Serenity Hobbies in the former Alpine Ski Hut – reports two men, either drunk or drugged up or both, in broad daylight, “yelling

at cars and pedestrians in front of my store.”

He called the OPD. Fifteen minutes later, an officer still hadn’t arrived. By then, the men were taking off their shoes and throwing them at passing cars.

Nate called again.

Another 15 minutes. By the time an officer arrived, the two troublemakers had “dispersed on their own.”

Eric, 34, obtained his master gardener certificate from Oregon State, returned home a couple of years ago and is a landscape management technician for City Hall.

When he sees a Big Gulp overturned in a downtown flower bed, he takes it personally.

After being found in contempt of Congress, Barr will fight the ruling in court.

Assuming he loses in court, Congress will then impose penalties. Barr then continues to refuse to testify, in the end Trump simply pardons Barr, nothing was accomplished. Barr doesn’t testify and walks away from any consequences.

I again cite the Constitution: “The President... shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Impeachment is necessary.

You also brought up several reasons to delay impeachment where I disagree. During the Town Hall, I didn’t want to debate you, I remained silent; I respect you and did not want

to keep interrupting, therefore I would like to outline some of the points where we differ: 1) Process: The “process” is an impeachment, not some new invented process. We are better off holding an impeachment inquiry instead of several ad hoc hearings. Witnesses will then know they will not be able to “weasel out” of jeopardy with the issuance of a pardon, all six proceedings under one umbrella.

The facts will come out by starting the impeachment inquiry, it doesn’t need to end quickly.

I can make an argument for holding impeachment hearings into the election if the delaying tactics by Trump continue. Impeachment will give you unen-Please See RAMHAS, A6

In Most Elective Bodies, Members’ Vote Required Unless There’s A Conflict To The Editor: Recently the Otsego County Board of Representatives voted on a resolution regarding the issuance of New York State driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. I have no particular issue with those who voted yes and those who voted no.

I am, however, very concerned over those representatives who “abstained,” as reported by your newspaper and confirmed in the draft meeting minutes. In my view, elected legislators at the federal, state and local level have a duty and an obligation to stand up and be counted on each and every issue that comes before them.

It is widely understood in government circles that a

legislator may only abstain from voting when faced with a personal or professional conflict. The rules of most state legislatures, including New York’s, make that very clear.

Rule 5-2 of the Rules of the New York State Assembly includes this sentence: “A Member may abstain from a vote only on the grounds that such vote will constitute a conflict of interest.” Our State Senate Rules have a similar provision.

We deserve better from our elected representatives.

Those three representatives who failed to stand up and be counted on June 5 should at least tell the public how they would have voted.

Is Anyone Doing Anything About High Local Gas Prices?

To the Editor: Ever wonder why the price of gasoline in Oneonta is usually higher than in surrounding counties? Ever wonder why every gas station in Oneonta usually matches one another’s prices to the penny, rather than engaging in healthy competition?

This would seem to be REAL collusion happening out in the open every day, as opposed to the fake collusion being touted in Washington D.C. Just yesterday I had to travel outside of the area and filled my tank in Oneonta for $2.90 per gallon of regular gas.

On the way back I stopped at the gas station at the eastern end of I-88, about an hour’s drive from Oneonta. The price of regular gas there?? $2.66 per gallon.

That’s 24 cents per gallon less than what we pay here for the exact same gasoline!

Why do the Powers That Be permit this to happen?

Just curious.

Clinton Campaign Genocidal, Just Not At Onaquaga

Article Complicit In Suffering Of Native Americans To the Editor: In the May 23-24 editions of your newspapers, Jim Kevlin wrote that “paddlers in the 59th annual General Clinton Regatta can compete with a clear conscience” because the native inhabitants of a single village, Onaquaga, had deserted it.

As he goes on to explain, they had fled a different genocidal campaign the year before Clinton’s, led by Lt. Col. William Butler. The bylines read “Clinton Didn’t Destroy Indian Village/Famed Regatta Namesake Cleared.”

Toward the end of the piece, however, Kevlin writes that when the Clinton-Sullivan Expedition

General Clinton

was over, “the Iroquois were destroyed, thousands of men, women and children killed, and the remaining 5,000 fled to British Canada.”

The Clinton-Sullivan Campaign wiped out at least 40 villages, but apparently we can overlook that because Onaquaga was razed before Clinton got there.

By trumpeting that peoples’ consciences can be cleared, Kevlin suggests that the ethnic cleansing of the Iroquois – and by extension, the canoe regatta itself – already does weigh on peoples’ consciences.

I should hope it does, because the campaign Please See ALDRIDGE, A6

Illegal Slave Dealing – At a Court of Quarter Sessions held in April last for the County of Sussex (Del.), Lemuel Tam was convicted of selling for exportation, a manumitted slave, and sentenced by the court to pay the sum of $500, the penalty enforced by the Act of the Assembly.

Excerpts from the Resolutions of the Democrats Meeting at Butternuts – Resolved: That the assemblage of free men to consider and review the acts of their public agents; to deliberate on the best means of preserving our civil institutions and the equal rights of each individual; to brighten the chain of friendship between brethren of the same principle; and to endeavor to promote the prosperity and glory of our beloved country – is not only a duty, but is among the most distinguished and invaluable privileges secured to us by the Constitutions of the State and Nation. Resolved: That though men may change, Truth is eternal; and though as in 1840, men may be deluded by false representations, bewildered by noise and riot, and misled by the exhibition of pageants, the sober second thought of the enlightened citizens of America, will put to flight such delusions, and truth and reason will eventually triumph.

VIEW FROM FLY CREEK

If Facts Can’t Defuse Deniers, What Can?

‘W

hat is Truth?” Pontius Pilate famously asked.

Lately, it seems a bigger question than ever. If, like me, you surf between conservative and liberal websites, Fox News and CNN/MSNBC, talk radio and PBS, Sean Hannity and Alan Chartock, you know that you’re getting radically different, irreconcilable versions of the truth on virtually any subject.

It’s scary.

The other day, driving down Fly Creek valley, it was Glenn Beck on the radio making fun of people worried about climate ADRIAN change, something PresiKUZMINSKI dent Trump calls a “hoax.”

Trump, in a recent tweet, approvingly quoted a renegade Greenpeace activist, Patrick Moore, who says: “The whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it’s Fake Science.”

There are policy implications as well. The New York Times reports that the Trump administration is planning

to alter the reporting of the government’s “National Climate Assessment” to eliminate projections for the years after 2040. That’s when the worse consequences of greenhouse gas emissions are expected to kick in.

Many conservatives reduce climate change to nothing more than liberal propaganda: a tactic by the left to frighten people into submission while providing a handy excuse to centralize government power and move towards socialism.

Call this Climate Change Denial. One is reminded of other, similar Denials, including Holocaust Denial, the denial that priests ever abuse children, or that smoking causes cancer.

What these denials all have in common is a rejection of overwhelming factual evidence. Photos, documents, and testimony about Nazi extermination camps are brushed aside or said to be fakes. Accounts of child abuse are dismissed as preposterous.

The established correlation between smoking and lung cancer is reduced to

Giotto’s rendering of Pontius Pilate’s “jestful” question, “Quid est veritas.”

speculation.

In the case of climate change, the documented accelerating effects of humanly generated greenhouse gases warming the planet are simply ignored.

This in spite of a near consensus among climate scientists.

An oft-quoted statistic states that something like 97 percent of climate scientists agree that the evidence shows that human activity – using fossil fuels – is the main factor driving climate change.

Fresh Voices Needed. Unfortunately, It Won’t Be Robertses EDITORIAL/From A4 City Hall will tell you, “You can use our public spaces,” said Eric, adding, “I haven’t seen a single professional having lunch in Muller Plaza since I got back.”

Moms with baby carriages cross the street to avoid the homeless, panhandlers and guys bumming cigarettes, he said.

Smoking, drinking and littering are supposed to be prohibited in the city’s lovely parks – Neahwa, Wilber and the rest, but it’s routine, said Eric, who spends his working days there.

A single officer walking the Main Street beat from 9 to 5 would resolve much of this, said Nate. “What happened to the bike cops?” added Eric.

• The Robertses have interesting personal stories. Both graduated from Edmeston Central, but their dad was food manager at RSS’ Oneonta Bagel Company for 17 years, so they frequented the city since boyhood.

(Nate has been doing the job parttime for the past several months.)

The brothers were drawn to the City of the Hills by its music scene – bands aplenty from SUNY’s Music Industry

Department, and venues aplenty.

“We want to create that opportunity again,” said Nate.

In college, Eric got a call from a pal in a band that needed a bass guitar, and spent 10 years on the road, with the combo winning gold and even platinum disks. Nate spent time in New York City, and ran a booking service for a while when he got back to town.

As it happens, Nate was inspired to run for Common Council when the two attended a meeting alerting the city fathers they plan to open The Pale Horse Public House in what was formerly The Alley on Water Street Yes, there will be live music.

• This could go on. For instance, the two are bruised by the challenges from the Democratic Party – Eric had double the required signatures; Nate triple – and have a lot to say about the process. For instance, if a double signature is stricken, it should be stricken from the Democratic or Republican petitions too.

Common Council has come through a pretty sleepy time. When was the last time a Council member proposed an exciting initiative from the floor?

Committee meetings are routinely cancelled for lack of a quorum or agenda items. What’s going on?

After the Nov. 5 elections (a primary is June 25), the Robertses won’t be there to add pizzaz, but five of the incumbents are leaving and there are plenty of candidates vying to replace them. So maybe we’ll see some Roberts-style freshmen.

Sure, the DRI – the state’s Downtown Redevelopment Inititiative – has sucked up a lot of the oxygen. Little’s been done, and next month it will be three years since state Economic Development czar Howard Zemsky – he resigned a couple of weeks ago – announced the $10 million grant.

While we wait, must great be the enemy of good? Listening to the brothers, routine enforcement needs beefing up, a little broken-window policing, maybe.

Most entrancing about the Robertses was, despite their specific complaints, they love Oneonta. Now home again, they don’t intend to leave. There’s a lot of that, and that’s an asset.

As Eric put it, “The city isn’t the way I remember it. It’s gone.” But he added, “I don’t want to say anything bad. It needs help.”

KUZMINSKI: Replace Denials With Objective, Reliable Evidence KUZMINSKI/From A5 This near-scientific consensus is blown off by climate deniers.

One wonders if they would reject a medical diagnosis given by 97 percent of doctors, or legal advice given by 97 percent of lawyers. That would be considered, by most of us, classic cases of denial.

They key tactic of deniers is to find any dissenting opinion at all, and use that to argue that the issue in question remains unsettled.

If you’re an addicted smoker, if you benefited by the appropriation of Jewish property during the

war, if you’re a church trying to avoid scandal, or if your economic security depends on the continued use of fossil fuels, then you have an incentive to deny that smoking causes cancer, that the Jews were dispossessed and murdered, that priests molest children, or that humanly created greenhouse gases cause global warming.

Deniers come down on the side of calling something into question just because it’s been disputed. It’s a clever strategy that substitutes opinion for evidence, and it’s become a staple of fake news. It turns into

denial when it persists in the face of overwhelming evidence.

This allows climate-change deniers, Holocaust deniers, childabuse deniers, cigarettes-causecancer deniers, and other deniers to sound reasonable. I have my opinion, you have yours, they say, while subverting the truth.

Denial isn’t a monopoly of conservatives, to be sure. Many liberals, for instance, deny that globalization has dramatically increased economic inequality, or that open borders have negative consequences, or that there are

gender differences, or that Trump voters are anything other than stupid, misguided “deplorables.”

Indeed, who among us hasn’t fallen into denial at some point in our lives? If I’m focusing here on climate change Denial, it’s because climate change is arguably the most disruptive challenge we face. It’s a denial we can no longer afford.

Absolute certainty isn’t required to make informed, rational decisions. What’s necessary is an objective, reliable standard of evidence, not uniformity of opinion. There will always be outliers who reject

objective standards, out of fear, greed, or sheer craziness.

In such psychological states, objectivity itself is denied. Truth, by contrast, is what we normally observe in our common experience, including what we are most likely to experience in the future. We ignore it at our peril.

LETTER

Environmentalist Davies Sought To Make City Greener To the Editor: As outgoing city councilwoman for Oneonta’s Second Ward, it is my privilege to endorse Dr. Mark Davies for the Ward 2 Common Council seat in the upcoming primary election on Tuesday, June 25.

Mark has been a city resident for 17 years. He is employed as a Hartwick College professor of education, and is coordinator of the environment, sustainability and society major there.

On a personal note, Mark is an avid mountain biker and hiker, and loves working and living in Oneonta. He feels the area offers the best trails for his outdoor pursuits, as well as being rich

in agriculture and natural beauty. This gives him an opportunity to educate his students on the importance of protecting the environment.

Mark’s lifelong commitment to social and environmental justice has led him to be actively involved in local initiatives and boards.

As Common Council liaison to our Environmental Board, I have had the pleasure of working with Mark, who is chair, for the past 3½ years. He has been on the Environmental Board for six years, as chair for four years.

Mark works to help the city find ways to reduce Green House Gas emissions, develop “complete streets” to assure

a walkable/bikeable city, and create a sustainable vision by being a member of the countywide Energy Task Force and the City Comprehensive Planning Committee. He is working to develop a plan securing grant money for a countywide composting facility to be located in Oneonta.

Dr. Davies’ knowledge of, and commitment to, our city, its residents, the county and the environment, are the reasons I feel he is the best candidate to represent Oneonta’s Second Ward. I encourage you to vote for Mark Davies for second ward councilman on June 25.

Clark: Build Future On Student, Resident Collaboration

To the Editor: Last week, I wrote to this newspaper to report at least 58 Oneonta stores and restaurants have closed down in the past three years. These establishments are NOT being replaced at nearly the rate at which we are losing them, thus creating an unsustainable situation.

That calls for an “all hands on deck” attempt at working together to clear the air of a fog of blame that pervades the city now. While that sounds a little fuzzy, in Oneonta it means something very specific. It means that Oneonta’s college students and the city’s permanent residents will finally need to start getting along.

The college students need to start being treated

as full-fledged residents of the city, and the permanent residents of the city need to be treated to quiet nights, less vandalism.

I believe this will create several advantages. The first is that if we start respecting our college students, we may very well get more permanent residents. Mayor Herzig says we need more people, we need to actually grow our population, before we can re-grow our business community, and I think that he is right.

Think about it: every year we import 7,700 new members of the population, and then at the end of the school year, we send them away again. Usually, we grumble about them the

whole time they are here, and attribute to the students every broken window, every new bit of graffiti, and every incidence of unpleasant noise, whether we have any proof that they are responsible or not.

We are a college town, and the sooner we embrace that fact, the stronger our economy can be.

Our re-branding consultant wants to concentrate on the “quirky, artsy” side of our city. I tried to point out to their representatives, pretty much to no avail, that there is in fact a history of college towns branding themselves as being quirky and artsy BECAUSE they have a college close by.

If we as permanent resi-

No One’s Guilty, But Bad Things Happened ALDRIDGE/From A4 was an early instance of the ethnic cleansing that laid waste to the indigenous peoples of this country, one of the many indelible stains on American history that has never been fully addressed and that casts doubt on notions of American “greatness” and “democracy.”

Native communities still suffer today and articles like these are complicit in that reality.

What is troubling about this kind of journalism is not merely that it is a disservice to readers and an offense to our ability to read, but that it peddles a narrative of white supremacy. The title of the article is misleading and the content proves it.

Kevlin knows as well as I do how awful the Clinton-Sullivan Campaign was – he even says so in the piece – but he would rather absolve the colonists of wrongdoing than, say, suggest the canoe regatta be renamed because it celebrates the legacy of the Iroquois’ destruction and the violent settlement of White Americans on the land.

Kevlin also gives the last word to local historian Buzz Hesse who is quoted as saying, “Washington could see the future. He knew (the bloody conflict between natives and settlers) had to be resolved.”

Washington’s May 1779 correspondence with General Sullivan, however, looks nothing like “conflict resolution”: “The expedition you are appointed to command is to be directed against the hostile tribes of the Six Nations of Indians, with their associates and adherents.

The immediate objects are the total destruction and devastation of their settlements and the capture of as many prisoners of every age and sex as possible …

“You will not by any means listen to [any] overture of peace before the total ruin of their settlements is effected.” (National Archives, Founders Online).

No one today has blood on their hands from the Clinton-Sullivan Campaign, but it’s the least we can do to not pretend it wasn’t as bad as it was.

And beyond that, I would appreciate seeing the Village of Cooperstown publicly honor those killed on the stolen land we inherited as part and parcel of addressing the power imbalance between White Americans and Native Americans.

How about your newspapers organize a write-in contest to rename the regatta?

dents strengthen our ties with the students, all sorts of possibilities open up: Jerid Goss, another fellow running for City Council, has developed a plan for building a business incubator co-managed by the city and the colleges. This plan involves holding business plan contests for aspiring student entrepreneurs. The creators of the winning business plans would be invited to stay in Oneonta and start their businesses with help from the city government and the colleges.

The goal of keeping new businesses here, run by ambitious young people, would be to create local, well-paying jobs. This would both add new businesses to the local economy, and also grow the population by giving students something to stay in town for after they graduate.

Richfield’s Zoning Plan Will Give More Options Than Are Available Now To the Editor: The Town of Richfield and the Village of Richfield Springs were given a tremendous gift from the IDA in 2015 by funding the hiring of professionals to help us create a Comprehensive Plan and update the Town Zoning Law that were created in 1992.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Village in December 2017, and by the Town in January 2018.

This Joint Comprehensive Plan received The Comprehensive Plan award in April from the New York State Planning Federation.

The next step is to update the Town Zoning Law to meet the Comprehensive Plan.

Our original law created in 1992 had 23 allowed uses, and then in 2005 and 2006 the allowed uses were stripped down to six allowed uses under then Supervisor Palevsky, and allowing other uses by “special permit.”

The updated zoning has 73 allowed uses and they are very broadly defined uses. This will allow us to market our town to businesses that fit the character of the community.

Before businesses will consider a town, they want to know that they are “allowed” and they want to know what else is “allowed” so their investment isn’t negatively impacted by having a business next door that would hurt their investment.

Mr. Palevsky obviously

INFO@allotSEgo.com

doesn’t like zoning at all, but without good zoning laws your community becomes a dumping ground for unwanted projects, property values can suffer, as well as the quality of life for the residents.

Mr. Palevsky has misrepresented the updated zoning law with false statements very publicly for months in a shameful attempt to scare people. The updated zoning actually gives people more rights than they have currently, and it will help us create the prosperous community that Richfield can be.

Congressman, Seize Impeachment Option RAHMAS/From A4 cumbered access to the Grand Jury information that Robert Barr is withholding.

2) Senate: The argument is that impeachment won’t pass the Senate; then why are you passing legislation that also won’t pass Senate? The act of starting an impeachment inquiry is an accomplishment. If there are impeachment hearings, and as evidence comes out, it will become harder for senators to politically defend Trump without running the risk of losing re-election.

Remember, when Watergate started, no Republican senator was in favor of removal; that changed when it no longer served their political purpose. Put the Senate on record.

3) Divide: That impeachment will divide the country is a fallacy. The country is already divided by Trump’s actions. It is difficult to become more divided. Right now less than one-third of the people in the country are determining the fate of the two-thirds majority.

An impeachment inquiry can only help to bring the country back together.

4) Precedent: Impeachment, if not now, then when, or ever? You will be negating your Constitutional duty and allowing for an Imperial Presidency to exist where an elected dictator will do whatever he/she wants without regard to his/her subjects. That is a terrible precedent to set.

We agree there are urgent needs facing the country, from the Russian interference to combating Climate Change, as well as dozens of other very important issues. You’ve already passed over 50 legislative acts to take us into future. I commend you.

CHURCH/From A1 Hundt, the architect who designed the new Milford United Methodist Building.

“They wanted it to have an Adirondack style, very comfortable, very open.”

The first service, which was standing-room only, was Sunday, June 9 – Pentecost.

“On the night of March 12, 2017, who would have predicted that we would be sitting here in this beautiful, starkly beautiful space, ready to begin a brand new chapter in this community,” said Pastor Sylvia Barrett in her sermon, “Emboldened and Empowered.” “On the night of Pentecost, the disciples came to an end of one chapter in their lives, and started a brand new chapter for themselves,” Following the fire, the trustees formed several different committees to task with rebuilding. “It was never an option not to rebuild,” said Bob Moore, chairman of the church’s Board of Trustees and former Milford town justice.

The big thing in the design, all committees agreed, was to incorporate the three stainedglass windows that miraculously survived the fire.

It was a day of dedications, and not just the church itself.

The organ was dedicated to Dot Weir, who played music for the church for 67 years.

“May every piece we play find its way up to you,” said Pastor Sylvia.

The main stained-glass window was dedicated to David Thorn’s parents; the two side ones to the Eggleston and Martin families.

“Those were a big feature and they were expensive,” said Hundt. “So we had to make compromises.”

Compromises included delaying on air conditioning, but no matter: though the temperatures were in the mid70s by noon, a cool breeze blew through ranks of windows open on both sides of the sanctuary.

“We put in a lot of cottagestyle windows that create a good cross-breeze,” said Hundt. “With so many modern buildings, you can’t open the windows, but these provide good lighting and great ventilation.”

Even the candelabras have a country touch, with bulbs styled to look like wide white candles set in simple, round metal frames.

And just because it’s old-fashioned doesn’t mean it doesn’t have modern touches, including two 83-inch TV screens, where lyrics and

Biblical quotes are displayed so people can read and sing along. The church does not have pews, but chairs – brought over from the former Milford Manor Farms building that served as the church for the last year; attached, it will now be the social hall, where punch and cake were served after the service.

The new church was built entirely from donations and insurance, with no debt to the church itself. “Before we even started fundraising, we had $50,000,” said Barrett. “So many people stepped forward to help. We prayed a way forward and here we are.”

The first service included remarks from the Methodist Church’s district superintendent, Rev. Everett Bassett of Oneonta. “No other church has quite as marvelous a story as this one,” he said. “It’s been an amazing journey, and the level of leadership, vision and determination has been inspiring.

That’s what shows up today. As a congregation, we will never forget the help we received.”

Longtime congregant state Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, gave the closing prayer.

“We are back, stronger than ever and looking forward to a new chapter of faith in this community,” said Barrett.

Hawkeyes Baseball Team Looks To Friday’s Semi-Final

HAWKEYES/From A1 at 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon at SUNY Binghamton. “Our strategy is that we always feel confident,� said Hazzard, Head Coach Frank Miosek’s assistant. “We know the only team who can beat us is ourselves.�

That confidence is also bolstered by five team members who were also on the Cooperstown Hawkeyes basketball team that took home its own state championship in March.

“They carry a lot of the team’s leadership,� said Hazzard. “But you can’t beat this team’s camaraderie.�

The key play actually came in the second inning, when the Tigers had a chance to cement their lead. With the bases loaded, Hawkeye Eric Deysenroth made a critical catch – the critical out that kept Cooperstown in the game.

In the seventh inning with a three-run deficit,

Cooperstown was at the top of the order. The bases started to fill up, then sophomore Alex Hascup’s single brought in two runs.

And senior Jesse Furnari’s single down the left field line brought in two runners to give the Hawkeyes the 8-7 lead. “For a senior to be able to come through like that is really special,� said Hazzard. “These kids have a unique willingness to not be defeated.�

The formidable obstacle throughout was Pierce Hendershot, Tioga’s pitcher who is headed to St. Bonaventure, a baseball powerhouse, this fall. He also hit a home run.

But the Hawkeyes continued to grind away at him – by game’s end, he had been forced to throw over 100 pitches. “We knew what was

Early on, Tioga was ahead 3-1. The Cooperstown boys tied it at 3-3. Tioga moved ahead 4-3. Cooperstown tied it at 4-4. Then Tioga gained the lead which it lost at the end. “We knew we could beat them,� said Hazzard. “We talked to other coaches Ian Austin/The Freeman’s Journal & HOMETOWN ONEONTA who had beaten them, and Stacey Hascup and Carolyn Lewis erupt in cheers studied what they did.� as Jesse Furnari makes the hit that pushes the The last time the baseball Hawkeyes to an 8-7 victory. team went to the Final coming,� said Hazzard. the pitches that we wanted.� Four was 2017, when they “Our research told us that For Cooperstown pitching, were knocked out in the 75 percent of his pitches Chris Ubner started and quarterfinals. were strikes.

Crowd Dissatisfied At Forum On Bullying At Cooperstown BULLYING/From A1 what 60-plus plus parents and students said in a packed Cooperstown Elementary School’s library Tuesday, June 11.

However, School Superintendent Bill Crankshaw said he isn’t sure what the school district will do next.

The PTA meeting offered the first forum to discuss bullying since two high school students reportedly insulted and beat a student they perceived as gay, recording it on a cellphone.

On June 3, the PTA sent

an email reiterating it is committed to “ensuring a safe, inclusive school environment for all students� and invited teachers, parents, administration and students to attend the meeting and “discuss the issue in an open forum.�

However, the PTA officers, teachers and Crankshaw cautioned they could not discuss a “specific incident� of bullying, especially names of students involved, because that information was confidential. “We are here to protect everyone, staff and students,�

Crankshaw said. “I will say publicly, though, we are taking things very seriously.�

Parents and students said they’re concerned the school administrators isn’t doing enough, especially in assuaging students’ fears that they are being ignored.

One student said, “I was afraid on the day of the incident it would get pushed to the back burner, then we’d get a tepid response, and nothing would change.� “We all know there was an incident. We want to know there was a follow-up,� said Lizzie Cooper, the PTA’s press liaison. “What are you going to do next?�

Another parent, who did not want her name cited, said, “We have no confidence in the administration.

How do we know you have my kids’ back?�

Several parents urged school administrators to address the student body and to make a “strong statement, so the kids know the grownups are protecting them.� But Crankshaw said he had not decided yet whether or not he would hold such a meeting. “We follow up reports of discipline problems according to our Code of Conduct, which has five different levels of intervention depending on the situation,� Crankshaw said. “One level is lunch detention, another is after school detention, and then it increases to after-school suspension and expulsion.�

He cautioned that all sorts of factors were involved that people are unaware of.
