INCUMBENTS GO Stammel In, Quackenbush Out • Marietta In, Hulse Out • Kennedy In, Lentz Out

THE WINNERS ARE...

By LIBBY CUDMORE & JIM KEVLIN

I

t was a night of surprises and upsets, with voters ousting incumbents and embracing newcomers in three key seats on the Otsego County Board of Representatives. • In the Town of Oneonta’s District 4, Democrat Andrew Stammel, a Town Board member, ousted first-term county Rep. Janet Hurley Quackenbush, 562-527. • In the Hartwick-Milford-New Lisbon District 5 – it contains the most weighted votes of any seat – a newcomer, Meg Kennedy, defeated incumbent Ed Lentz, 782-539. • And in the Cooperstown-Town of Otsego District 8, Democrat Andrew Marietta defeated a rising GOP star, county Rep. Rick Hulse, by 515-429. Marietta Elsewhere, things were pretty much as expected, as two veteran Republicans, Jim Powers, Town of Butternuts, and Keith McCarty, in the Richfield-Springfield district, turned back challengers. Additional, unchallenged Republicans David Bliss in Middlefield-Roseboom-Cherry Valley and Len Carson in Oneonta walked into seats vacated by Democrats. Rounding out the rising GOP fortunes, Dan Wilber, a town justice, beat Democrat Russ Bachman to keep retiring Betty Ann Schwerd’s Edmeston-Burlington seat in the Republican column. While Republicans took body blows with Hulse’s and Quackenbush’s losses, the GOP emerges with greater control of the 14-member legislative body. Please See ELECTIONS, A7

Rosenthal, a Democrat elected in 2012 and reelected in 2014, recently moved to the Albany area. Her home in Roseboom recently sold, so she no longer had an incounty residence.

She served on three committees: Intergovernmental Affairs, Performance Review & Goal Setting, and Solid Rosenthal Waste & Environmental Concerns. Middlefield Town Supervisor David Bliss, Republican, is running unopposed for the seat in the Nov. 3 election. His term will begin on Jan. 1.

Republicans Romped. Now, What Are They Going To Do?

nteresting outcome from the Tuesday, Nov. 3, General Elections of 2015 in Otsego County. In a county that twice supported Barack Obama for president, the Republican Party appears to be back on the ascendancy, at least outside the two main population centers, Oneonta and Cooperstown. Republicans romped, in the countryside anyhow. The Grand Old Party increased its edge on the 14-member Otsego County Board of Representatives from eight to 10, and its weighted voting from 4,146 to 4,600. Conversely, the Democratic edge, from pretty much even-steven a decade ago, slipped from six to four, and its weighted votes from 2,081 to 1,627. 1,627 out of a total 6,227. Wow! • The big surprise to come out of the Hartwick hills was Meg Kennedy. Running as a Republican, she is the daughter of the Conser-

WHAT DOES MEG KENNEDY THINK? Editor’s Note: Here are insights into Meg Kennedy’s thinking from her submission to this newspaper’s online Voters’ Guide.

►IN TWO OR THREE SENTENCES, EXPLAIN YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF GOVERNMENT. I believe in limited government. Those holding office are working for the people who elected them and have a responsibility to represent their interests as efficiently and as economically as possible. ►WHAT ARE THE THREE MAJOR ISSUES THE OTSEGO COUNTY BOARD OF REPRESENTATIVES FACES, AND HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS THEM? 1. Budget. I will work to identify areas where greater efficiency could reduce spending. 2. Economic Development. I will bring a knowledge of agriculture & small business experience to the board and work to increase opportunities in these areas. 3. Bed Tax Distribution. I will work to implement the distribution of bed tax funds on a permanent basis. ►WHAT QUALITIES/EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT MAKES YOU THE BETTER CHOICE IN THIS RACE My years of representing and coordinating the concerns of the widely varied farmers market members have proven my ability to stand up for my positions and advocate effectively for the people whom I represent vative Party’s county chairman, Paul Kennedy. She defeated county Rep. Ed Lentz, the New Lisbon Democratic, 782-539, or 60

percent to 40 percent, the largest margin of any of the county races. It is further surprising because Lentz is an eminently

able and level-headed guy. With his background as a Fortune 100 executive and member of a top law firm, it seemed like much good was yet to come from his public service. That said, there’s nothing the matter with Kennedy. By all accounts, she’s from a closely knit family. She’s educated (Cornell), active in the family business and managing farmers’ markets, and involved in public life, serving on the Hartwick Planning Board and the Zoning Commission. And she’s relatively young – there’s not enough of that, although with the two Democrats, just-40 Andrew Marietta and 30-something Andrew Stammel, that equation is shifting in the right direction. • So what happened? For one, a couple of Democrats lost interest. Beth Rosenthal moved to Albany, and Middlefield Town Supervisor Dave Bliss stepped in unopposed. Same in Oneonta, where

Democrat Linda Rowinski got discouraged and Republican Len Carson, just-retired from the OFD and pursuing an electronic-billboard venture, DC Marketing, walked right in. The GOP warhorses – former chair Jim Powers and longtime and effective Highway Committee chair Keith McCarty – brushed off challenges. Don Lindberg, R-Worcester, picked his successor, Maryland Town Supervisor Peter Oberacker; no sweat. In the Town of Burlington, Town Justice Dan Wilber stepped up, defeating the former acting county Treasurer Russ Bachman for retiring Betty Ann Schwerd’s seat. All in all, it came together. Were the nasty postcards that kept showing up in our mailboxes part of the attraction? Let’s hope not. In fact, when they were aggressively called out – by Stammel and Marietta – their effectiveness seemed

to be quickly gone aglimmer. • While county Republicans are to be congratulated, they certainly didn’t earn this larger majority on the merits. The $9.2 million gap that appeared in the prospective 2016 budget deserved to be a majority-buster, coming as it did after the sale of Otsego Manor and the promise of a $5 million surplus. The Republicans’ “us vs. them” message got under Democrats’ skin. Maybe that’s part of party’s problem. The tension between newcomers and longtimers is a reality, with one side getting an edge and then that other, depending on the issue de jour. In any event, the Republicans have shown they can organize a campaign; (there’s luck involved, too.) It’s likely they’ll never have this wide a majority again. Let’s hope they prove they can make it work for an improved common good.

At 72, Ending Professional Baseball Career With Dignity – At Doubleday Field

O

n Sunday, Oct. 11, on Doubleday Field, I played my last baseball game. For years I’d wanted to play a game on Doubleday, but for insurance reasons or unavailability it never happened. I’d been coming up for years to see friends I played for or with, inducted into the hall, and learned to love this town. It is Baseball Heaven. Last year, I invited a friend of mine, who had never been here, to come up with his wife and share a fall weekend with us in your town. We came up Columbus Day weekend, and enjoyed the Cooperstown experience. On Saturday morning, my wife Deb was walking our puppy when she spotted a group of guys in their late 50s, early 60s loading their

cars with baseball equipment, and they began to talk. The subject got around to me and my buddy Gary, as she filled them in on my background. She asked if they ever needed players, and the fella told her that he would tell the manager about us, and he’d call us later that evening. I was shocked, we got the call from Jack Galante. He is their manager. Jack had been coming up to Cooperstown for years to play ball. We met for about 15 minutes and he told me that he would love to have us join him next Columbus

Day weekend 2015. At my age I’d pretty much given up at ever fulfilling this dream, and here it was for the taking. I actually got as nervous as a schoolboy, it had been almost 14 years since I had played, and I didn’t want to look like a fool, so I began going to the gym and strengthening my arm for my one last chance. We got up here to Cooperstown on Friday, Oct. 9, and met some of the guys. We played a game in Milford on Saturday and I got a chance to feel a bit more at ease. I played first base, and hit the ball hard every time up, but the challenge would come the next day when I toed the mound on Doubleday. I got up early on Sunday, pulled up my stirrups and put on my uniform. Father Time is mean man, he steals your abilities, talents and even your looks, but he’ll leave you just enough to think you still can still recapture the past. But on this day, I will push him aside. He will not take this opportunity from me, not on this day, not on America’s

ballfield. Today I am 20-years-old, I will feel the sun on my wrinkled old face, and the grass under my feet, and I will prevail in spite of the odds. Jack asked me to warm up down the left-field line, and in jest I asked my catcher if they had moved home plate back 10 feet. It felt that way. When the game started, I almost felt reborn. I took the

mound and I got the side out in order. When I got to the dugout I asked the guys not to speak with me because I was pitching a perfect game, they all laughed. In the second and third innings there were a few errors behind me, and a few hits, as my pitch count went to around 70. As I completed the fourth inning, I knew that I could only go one more inning, and I asked Jack to get someone

warmed up. I walked back to the mound in the fifth and reality hit me. I was throwing the final pitches in the final game of my life. I got the first two batters out on three pitches, and I didn’t want to throw to the next batter, because he could be my last. I asked the ump if I could have a minute and he said sure. I walked to the back of the mound and took in this beautiful historic field, one final time. I yelled over to Deb, “Well, this is it.” What I worked so hard for, what I had dreamed would happen, happened, and in a few minutes would be over. One pitch, the batter grounds out to second and my baseball life had ended in a grand and wonderful fashion. As I walked toward the dugout, all of the guys came out and formed a line. Guys who were strangers 48 hours before, today were friends. They had found out from someone in my group that this was my swan song, and I got hugs and congratulations from all of them.

To the Editor: On Oct. 21, the Pierstown Grange held a “meet the candidates night.” Candidates for Town and County positions representing the Town of Otsego (the larger “half” of Cooperstown) were invited to the Pierstown Grange on County Route 28, as was your newspaper. All the local candidates shared their ideas, in this public forum, about serving. Those in attendance were informed and appreciative. Unfortunately, The Freeman’s Journal didn’t assign anyone to this cover this event and declined to use a story submitted by a stringer in

spite of the fact that the story was based on quotes that could have easily been fact-checked. How can a business call itself a newspaper when it doesn’t serve the public interest by reporting the contest of ideas central to local elections? Are our elections not newsworthy? I wonder if we will now be subjected to a pious editorial excoriating the electorate for their poor turnout on Nov. 3. Thank you to all the candidates for offering to serve and for explaining the rationales for their candidacies. PAUL H. LORD Pierstown Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) Marine Corps

Thanks For Recognizing Bob Eklund To the Editor: Our sincere thanks to you for your paper’s excellent piece on Bob Eklund’s participation in the We Are Seneca Lake movement. Hopefully, after reading about this ongoing fight to protect Seneca Lake, more people in Otsego County will be inspired to engage. Bob’s leadership role in Josh Fox’s Solutions Project promoting sustainable energy is equally important. Without exception, those of us who played a part in the almost-seven-year fight to ban fracking in New York State are now quick to acknowledge the unanticipated benefit of our participation in this lengthy fight, in that we were able to connect with so many like-minded, kindred spirits in our region whom we might

not have otherwise had the pleasure of meeting. We were reminded of this “plus side” of our fight against the fossil fuel industry as we stood outside the Watkins Glen courthouse surrounded by scores of other kindred spirits – many of whom had previously been arrested and/or incarcerated as the result of their role in the WASL protests. Although, at the same time, we recognize how the fracking issue divided neighbors and family members and created disharmony in communities not only here in Otsego County but also throughout New York State. Thanks once again for all you do! MAUREEN DILL Butternuts

Died in this village of consumption, on the evening of the 24th, ultimo, Mrs. Phebe Tracy, widow of Mr. Elisha Tracy, in the 50th year of her age. She has long been a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and eminently adorned her profession with those Christian graces enumerated by the Apostle, among which patience and meekness shone with peculiar luster. She lived the life, and died the death of a Christian, leaving an interesting family of children and a large circle of friends to believe that what is their loss is her gain. Yet, in this misjudging world they picture death a fearful tyrant – O’ believe it not!

We had a pleasant call one day last week from Mr. Gamaliel Scribner, of New Berlin, now 82 years of age, who for the first time in his long life witnessed the operation of steam printing. It is 75 years ago last May since Mr. S. passed through this place with his parents, to seek a home in “the West.” They came from Ballston, Saratoga County, and passed down the Susquehanna to Unadilla, and up the Butternut Creek to New Berlin in a canoe – and there Mr. S. has resided ever since on the same farm. Some of the apple trees, planted by the Indians, found growing there in 1790, budded and blossomed last season. The first flour obtained by the family after they arrived at New Berlin, was from wheat taken by boat to a mill in Binghamton. There were no roads or dwellings at the time between the two places. A few families settled about the same time at Butternuts, and a Frenchman named DeVille built a mill there. The Scribners spent three or four days in cutting a road through

A veteran named John Jones, residing about two miles south of Richfield Springs, has recently obtained a pension for injury to his eyes caused by the explosion of musketry or cannon at the battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia, during the night attack of May 11, 1863. Inflammation followed, causing Jones to be totally blind. This claim has been pending for a number of years, and has just been allowed. The amount of back pay allowed is $15,806.27, with $72 per month during life. This is undoubtedly the largest pension ever granted a private soldier. One year ago, H.D.

50 YEARS AGO

Mrs. Ida H. Wilcox of Cherry Valley has purchased Woodside Hall at the eastern end of Main Street from Walter W. Stokes, Jr., of Cooperstown and New York City. She plans to open a home for convalescents there sometime prior to the first of the year. Mrs. Wilcox has operated a similar home in Cherry Valley for the past five years. She said that extensive renovations will be made to the property and a new heating plant installed. Woodside Hall was built in 1829 by Eben B. Morehouse after he purchased a few acres from the pioneer Bowers family on the slopes of Mt. Vision. A reversal in Morehouse family fortunes forced a sale of the residence in 1836 to Samuel W. Beall. However, Morehouse reacquired the property in 1849. In 1856, Joseph L. White, a prominent New York lawyer, purchased the property. White, who was involved with canal construction in Nicaragua, was killed by an assassin and Woodside Hall became the property of John F. Scott, whose family was among early settlers in Springfield. Stokes purchased the property from Scott in 1895. November 3, 1965

As part of a fund drive to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research, a mini walk-a-thon has been designed for young children who will collect on pledges made by sponsors based on the number of laps that are walked, hopped, or skipped to music around the classroom. The children at Sugerbuns, a play group on Railroad Avenue under the care of Mary Turi, Sugarbuns founder and her assistant Jackie Young, are between the ages of 18 months to 5 years.

EYE ON THE WEATHER

LETTERS

What About The Downsides Of More Jobs?

To the Editor: This is in response to “MV 500 Plan Condemns Otsego County To LowWage, Seasonal Jobs,” the editorial in your editions of Oct. 15-16. “Condemns”? Oh come on – be creative. Seasonal jobs are much needed by a segment of the people trying to catch up financially and by students who have the summers to try and gather money together for fall. As to “low wages,” what do you think causes low wages? It is not just about industrial growth. The concepts run much deeper. One example is the concept that the person who has the idea is worth much more then the person who makes the idea real. An idea is useless unless someone makes it real. Or another thought is that the person who manages is more important and worth more than the people who do the work. No, I am not talking about socialism, but about balance and reality

Pro Ballplayer Retires In Style At Doubleday DAVIS/From A4 pen, happened, and in a few minutes would be over. One pitch, the batter grounds out to second and my baseball life had ended in a grand and wonderful fashion. As I walked toward the dugout, all of the guys came out and formed a line. Guys who were strangers 48 hours before, today were friends. They had found out from someone in my group that this was my swan song, and I got hugs and congratulations from all of them. There were even a few guys on the other team standing and applauding. I was a mess. I ran over to Deb and grabbed her. She said, “I’m so proud of you” and that put me over the top. I ran around the back of the building and cried like a baby. There is crying in baseball. This was never about Winning or losing, ERAs or batting average, it was about this love I’ve always had for this game. It was somehow, at the age of 72, ending it with dignity. I left everything in me on the ballfield, I was drained both emotionally and physically. I am so grateful for this opportunity Cooperstown was responsible for. I am just one of the millions of stories connected to baseball and this town. One of the millions who loved and played this game.

as created by a non-self-centered mind. “Economic development”? To hear people talk, you would think the only way to economic growth is through big industrial jobs. I find this idea of large manufacturing as a solution to economic needs as rather an antiquated concept. But what about the strain on the infrastructure, the air quality, and the effect on the natural surroundings? And then there is the stress on the physical body of the workers. The repetitive nature of manufacturing jobs is not a positive thing. Sure the workers make more money in the beginning but then they spend it on medical expenses from problems developed over the years on the job. The workers will also have to spend their money for taxes increase so the manufacturers get the roads, water, etc. that they need. Whining about not getting enough money for manufacturing, to miss out on the “technological race”? You

would think that is the only way of growth. And who said life was about constant growth, anyway? Some years I would just be happy with a steady course! Think outside the box. Take a step back and see what you have here. It is not just about how much money people can make doing manufacturing; so a few people can get super rich, while the workers get sickness from exposure to chemicals and problems from repetitive motions running machine or sitting on assemble line. Then cast off in their old age. It should be about the quality of life as well. Raise the quality of what you have, not increase your power to buy and accumulate more “stuff”. What kind of “mecca” does Otsego County really want to be? …and this government aid. Where do you think that money came from? R. SCOTT DUNCAN Hartwick Forest

Criticism Unfounded; Town Fiscally Sound To the Editor: I read with interest the letter from Sheila Ross in your last edition claiming the current Town Board and its supervisor do not focus on the fiduciary responsibilities for the Town of Otsego. She later claims that there are “increased levels of spending and taxation.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. Both last year’s and this current budget show a decrease in spending and lower taxes. The Town passed a recent comptroller’s audit with flying colors with only one accounting change regarding the use of sales tax revenue. Our sales tax helps keep our taxes low. The Town has stayed below all tax caps and the tax freeze and decreased overall spending. The Town is debtfree, has two healthy special savings accounts – one for highway equipment and one for capital expenses such as buildings. The board and I pay

careful attention to each and every invoice that passes through this office. If the invoice paperwork is in order, it is paid and mailed within two days after approval at the Town Board’s regular monthly meeting. This paperwork must be correct as mandated by the comptroller’s office, so sometimes a particular invoice is held out to correct the submitter’s oversight. Sometimes I correct it for them, and sometimes I ask the submitter to do it. The Town is not a business, but we are business-like. The Town completed a needed revaluation to re-establish property tax fairness again after the drop in property values in 2007+. And yes, I made a decision not to deal with the old highway building in the middle of a serious recession. Buildings are not cheap. However, we continue to place money in the capital expense saving account, and if I were running again, that build-

ing would be on the 2016 agenda. I agree with Sheila that my having to summon law enforcement to gain control at a Town Board workshop on electric rates was unfortunate. I did what I had to do, and I certainly did not start nor expect a confrontation. And although Joe Potrikus came in with and sat with the young man, he did nothing to help the situation. Regarding Sheila’s charge or “secretive electronic communication,” I understand that municipal e-mail is difficult to figure out. No, we can’t discuss situations in depth then not talk about it at the meeting. We can’t be online at the same time. But we do not do that. We do use e-mail for reviewing draft minutes, setting meetings, and passing information on. This spring, we have been continually responding to Freedom of Information Act requests from Joe Potrikus who,

Our mean temperature was 46.6 degrees, which is 3.3 degrees below average. In September we saw the sun twice as much as usual! That’s a major weather happening for this part of the country! October evened things out when we saw it half as much as normal. Go figure. September was very dry until we got soaked with over 2 inches of rain on the 29th. That brought us to just slightly above normal for the month. October was DAVID almost a carbon copy when over an inch and MATTICE a half of liquid sunshine drenched us on the 28th, and that also took us just above the normal mark for the month. Spooky! We saw just a trace of snow; normal is only 0.2 inches, no big deal. Year to date snowfall is 65.4 inches, which is 9 inches ahead for the year. And the 38.17 inches of precipitation received in 2015 is 5.35 inches above normal. Even though it is dark much earlier now, there is still plenty of fun things to see and do here in the Oneonta/Cooperstown area. Check out the Happenin’ Otsego calendar for activities that look fun and interesting to you. Make sure to take some time to call, visit or write to a veteran or someone who is currently serving our great country in the military. They most assuredly will appreciate it and we owe them so much, please thank them for their service. As we move closer to Thanksgiving and look forward to gathering together with loved ones and friends, make sure to take some time to count your blessings, we all have many of them. Have fun, be careful as you travel, and make sure you Keep Your Eye On The Weather!

along with Sheila, thinks we are doing something illegal. We are not. The law Sheila is referring to as passed “in secrecy and arrogance” was passed through complete Town Board discussion openly at two regular meetings in front of Joe and another planning board member, and done in response to stop the attempt to re-zone an area on Route 26 by precedent. Time was of the essence and the schedule was not chosen

by the Town Board. The property in question abuts a Joe Potrikus small business property, and would have directly benefitted him. This board and I accomplished a lot in spite of continued harassment by a couple of Planning Board members. In the end, the people need an ethical person to represent them, not a perfect person.

Marietta, the regional director of NYCON, the New York Council on Non-Profits, was just getting out of a strategic planning meeting for RiverArts in Hastingson-Hudson when he got the news: he had won, 515-429, after a contentious race. “I’m excited,” he said by phone just after 11 p.m. “…We had a lot of challenges facing us. But people have seen what I’ve done with the Cooperstown Chamber, with the school board. I’m committed to seeing projects through, and the voters saw that.” His biggest issue is board transparency, something he also advocated for on the school board. “So many of the board members don’t communicate with their districts,” he said. “Constituents have to work to find out what’s going on, and I want to bring that communication from the board back to my district.” He also credited his refusal to run a negative campaign with his win. “For me, it was always about the issues,” he said. “The board was in turmoil, and we need a change. I can be the better representative that Cooperstown and Otsego need.” In Oneonta’s 12th District, Republican incumbent Craig Gelbsman once again beat Democrat Amy HornbergHeilveil, this time by a greater margin, 167-130. Though there was a party at state Sen. Jim Seward’s Oneonta office, Gelbsman was at home with his family when the numbers came in. “People know my message is good and that I’m working hard,” he said. “I think they want to see continued growth, and I will continue to do what I need to do.”

n the towns, Hartwick continues to be the wild card of the 2015 elections. After single-digit primary results were sorted out by court challenges and party committees, the Tuesday, Nov. 3, general election brought another single-digit margin. Robert O’Brien, the Republican nominee, got 222 votes to Republican incumbent David Butler’s 216, a margin absentee ballots could easily shift. The third candidate, Town Board member Juli Sharratt, trailed with 139. In Richfield, Paul Palumbo, also backed by the GOP town committee instead of Republican incumbent Fran Enjem, won the general election by a healthy margin, 350-195.

Midshipman Talevi after joining the Navy.

s a radioman in the Navy during World War II, Bruno Talevi was in the center of great events. “Troops would call in for assistance, and we would make sure the information would get to the right place,” said Talevi, whose radio bank was aboard the USS Ancon, which was stationed off shore in April 1945 as the Allies launched the largest amphibious assault of the war in the Pacific. “The island of Okinawa was a real

Before, the Japs would come out and fight us,” said the former Oneonta accountant who retired a quarter-century ago to a home on Otsego Lake’s shores. “This time, they waited for us in fortified positions on land. We were surprised by that.” But looking back over a distance of 70 years, Talevi, a 17-year-old graduate of Benjamin Franklin High School – “a real city school, a rough school” – while waiting to join the Navy in 1942, found himself in the midst of perhaps an even more epochal event: the founding of what would become the CIA.

He continued painting during his service, including service signs and numbers on the sides of vehicles. He did a second beach landing – still without knowing how to swim – at Gela, Sicily, during which he took shrapnel to the knee and received a Purple Heart. He also received a Bronze

I can see what my dad went through, and I always ask, ‘How on earth did he get off that beach’?” She wanted to make sure other people knew he was a hero too, hence her participation in Wentworth Erickson’s exhibit, which was launched with a reception and celebration Oct. 9 at The Farmers’ Museum’s Louis C. Jones Center. “I didn’t tell my mom I was doing it, and her birthday was right around the time of the reception, so she was so surprised,” she said. “My father will always be my number one hero.”

He applied and soon found himself as assistant office manager (and courier) for the innocuoussounding Survey of Foreign Experts. Talevi, who is now 90, didn’t completely know what he was getting into. The first inkling of things to come was the pre-hiring investigation. Friends of his family would say, “The FBI was here, checking on you. Is everything OK?” It must have been, because soon he found himself taking the subway mornings from his family’s home on 107th Street to One Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street. There, he joined a staff of 15 – six interviewers and nine stenographers. “When I realized what the

outfit was, I was amazed,” said Talevi. “I was a kid. This was a high-powered staff.” After the Dec. 7, 1942, bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, President Franklin D. Roosevelt soon realized U.S. intelligence gathering was scattered – the State, Treasury, Navy and War departments each had a piece – without the coordination necessary to fight a war against the Japanese in the Pacific and Germans in Europe and North Africa. FDR sought out William J. Donovan, a decorated World War I veteran, lawyer and 1932 candidate for the governor of New York who traveled extensively in Europe during the 1930s, meeting with heads of state and, back home, sharing his insights with his president. Within six months of Pearl Harbor, FDR created the OSS – Office of Strategic Services – to coordinate all U.S. intelligence and espionage efforts, and appointed Donovan – his exploits earned him the nickname “Wild Bill” by war’s end – to oversee the effort. The teen-aged Talevi had walked into this rapidly developing situation. In his role as courier, he had to quickly become familiar with OSS sites through the city as he ferried “various different documents to various different places” via the NYC subway system. “It wasn’t hidden; it was out in the open,” he said.

Talevi could tell from the particular respect with which they were treated – passed daily through One Fifth Avenue. They would meet with the interviewers; the stenographers would then type up the transcripts. Daily, thick packets of information were sent down to Washington, D.C. “I realized these people were giving up valuable information,” said Talevi. Some of the refugees donated clothing to the cause – for verisimilitude, U.S. spies were sent into Europe wearing clothes made in the countries they were infiltrating. A year passed and Talevi’s draft notice arrived, so he had to bid farewell to his friends at One Fifth Avenue, underwent training in Newport and the University of Wisconsin, was assigned to Camp Shoemaker, Calif., and soon found himself in the Pacific. Between battles, his unit was bivouacked in The Philippines. Okinawa took a massive toll on the Allied invaders – 14,000 killed and 82,000 casualties of all sorts – one reason President Truman decided to use the Atom Bomb. The war ended that Aug. 15, and six months later Talevi returned home to 107th Street. There, “I saw this young lady, who was a kid when I left, and now was a beautiful woman” – his future wife, Vera, said Bruno, who had been friendly with her brother and family. “I fell head over heels in love.” (The couple would marry a year later.) Home for three months, he stopped at a hospital for a sinus treatment and an orderly told him the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act – the G.I. Bill – had just passed: “You can go to college for free.” Soon, Talevi was enrolled at St. John’s, studying accounting. During the early years of their marriage, the Talevis would visit her brother in Oneonta, where he was confined for treatment of TB at the Homer B. Folks Hospital on West Street. The couple discovered “we liked the town; we wanted to live in the country.” So in the early 1950s, the Talevis made Oneonta their home. The accountant hung out his shingle and 30 prosperous years followed, during which the couple also raised two sons – Robert, now a physicist in the Hudson Valley, and Steven, a lawyer in Roanoke, Va. Occasionally, the Talevis would have lunch with a Dr. Erlich, Bruno’s former boss at the Survey of Foreign Experts, but that eventually lapsed. The OSS kept going strong, however, transitioning into the Central Intelligence Agency after World War II as leadership moved from “Wild Bill” Donovan to Allen Dulles. Today, the ad hoc offices Bruno Talevi visited on his 1942 rounds have grown into an agency with more than 20,000 employees, an annual budget of $15 billion and tentacles around the world.

Fannie A. Navarra, 100; With Husband, Operated Beauty, Barber Shop Downtown COOPERSTOWN – Fannie A. Navarra, 100, who ran a Main Street beauty parlor and barbershop with her husband, died peacefully Friday Oct. 30, 2015. Born Aug. 14, 1915, in Brooklyn, Fannie was the fourth of four children of Salvatore and Ninfa (Dippa) Stallone, who had immigrated to America in 1905. She grew up in Brooklyn, where her father was a barber and enjoyed summers at the family cottage near Rockaway Beach. On Nov. 3, 1940, she married Charlie Navarra. They lived in Brooklyn until 1945 when, because Charlie missed Upstate (he had been born and raised until the

Ida A. Orlando, 98; Swiss Native Raised Large Family In Upstate HARTWICK SEMINARY – Ida A. Orlando, 98, a Swiss native and mother of five whose survivors include 18 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren, died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Born Jan. 5, 1917, in Zurich, Switzerland, Ida was the fifth of six children born to August and Anna (Neukomm) Haegi. She grew up in the countryside and mountains of Switzerland and always had a strong affection and pride in her native land. She married Eugene Orlando on Dec. 3, 1949, and moved to this country in 1951, residing first in Hartwick, then Amsterdam (where Gene worked for G.E. ) then returning to the Hartwick and most recently Hartwick Seminary area. While Ida was first and foremost a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and homemaker to her family, she also found time to join her friends as a member of the Red Hats, the Busy Bees and the Christian Women’s League. She attended the Hartwick Christian Church for many years but after her latest move became a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hartwick Seminary. In keeping with her faith Ida would want her loved ones to be strong, because a good soul never dies. She loved to knit and made many knitted items for her family. She had a special affection for her kitties, and also for the many types of Swiss chocolate. Her family will also remember her tasty and much loved Swiss apple pie. Ida was predeceased by her husband, Eugene in 1994, by her son Ralph and

by all of her siblings. She is survived by two sons, Robert E. Orlando of Hartwick Seminary and Ronald P. Orlando of Oneonta; two daughters, Ruth (George) Nebesnik of Maryland, and Heidi Quinn of Westford; and by 18 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law, Janet Haegi of Fort Hunter, Montgomery County, and by a niece and nephew. A memorial service was held Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Tillapaugh Funeral Home. Burial will be private and at a later date. For those who so desire, the family suggests donations in Ida’s memory be made to the Hartwick Fire Department Company # 2, 4877 State Highway 28, Cooperstown, NY 13326. Arrangements are under the guidance of Tillapaugh Funeral Service.

age of 12 in Auburn), they moved to Cooperstown. Together, as a beautician and barber, they operated their businesses for decades in the village. They first purchased and ran their shops in a Main Street building adjacent to the Cooperstown Dry Cleaning block, which burned in November 1958, also destroying their building. This is the present location of the Cooperstown General Store. Charlie and Fannie subsequently purchased 160 Main St. and worked and lived there. Fannie will be remembered as unfailingly positive. She never had a negative thing to say about

anything or anyone and she never raised her voice. She loved Charlie, the village, its people, her friends and “extended family” – animals (especially her cats) – unconditionally. Indeed, after moving to the Thanksgiving Home in 2000, it was Fannie who gladly undertook the job of caring for and feeding of the Home’s therapy kitty. Fannie was also particularly proud to have been accepted as a Cooperstown Native Daughter in the 1990s. Fannie was predeceased by Charlie in 1996 and by all of her siblings. She is survived by three nieces

and two nephews, and by her goddaughter, Veronica Gil Seaver, and by the members of Veronica’s family. A graveside memorial service will be Saturday, Nov. 7, at 1 p.m. at Lakewood Cemetery, where she will be buried next to her beloved Charlie. In lieu of flowers it is suggested that those who so desire make contributions in Fannie’s memory to the Capital Fund at the Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home, 48 Grove St., Cooperstown 13326. Arrangements are entrusted to Tillapaugh Funeral Service, Cooperstown.

Herzig Asks DOT To Study Crosswalk Where Pedestrian Died By LIBBY CUDMORE ONEONTA

O

n Tuesday, Feb. 3, a letter from Daniel Heath was read to Common Council raising concerns about the intersection of Chestnut and Main: Both pedestrians and drivers get a green light at the same time. “I’ve been close to being hit several times,” he wrote. On Wednesday, Oct. 28, Heath was struck and killed by a car at that same crosswalk. The day after Heath’s death, Mayor Gary Herzig wrote the state DOT regional traffic engineer, Tony Signorelli, advising him the victim “had voiced his concerns to elected official on several occasions” and City Hall had contacted DOT about it. He asked that Signorelli study

the intersection and determine whether design or operational changes are necessary to achieve “greater safety for our pedestrians who use this busy intersection.” “It’s very sad that someone lost their life there,” said Herzig. Since Main and Chestnut area considered state roads, the DOT must make any changes, he said. Heath, 76, was crossing Chestnut Street from Simply Thai toward the Bassett office building while Brian Federov, 34, eastbound, was turning left off Main in his 2005 Pontiac. As described by police, the car bumped Heath, who fell onto the hood, then backwards onto the pavement, hitting his head. At first, Heath’s injuries weren’t considered serious, but, taken to Bassett Hospital, he suffered intercranial hemorrhaging, and died that evening. Fedorov was ticketed for fail-

ing to yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk; no further charges are contemplated. “The officers said he was very remorseful,” said OPD Lt. Douglas Brenner. “He didn’t mean to hurt anyone.” Federov told investigators a car with blinking four-way lights had stopped in front of him while turning right. “Federov was turning left, wasn’t sure why the other car had stopped, and then started to go forward,” said Brenner. “It was raining heavily, he was focused on the other car, and he told us he just didn’t see the pedestrian.” And although it’s the first fatal traffic accident in the city in recent memory, Brenner says that intersection has been problematic for years. “Since 2012, we’ve gone to 17 motor vehicle accidents at that intersection,” he said. “In some, the view was obstructed, in others, it was driver inattention and failure to yield. The lanes are screwy

Meter Man Faces Shoplifting Charges ARREST, From A1 in cards and memorabilia from Paterno Brothers Sports. “I trusted him,” said Paterno. “He was wearing a police uniform. I would ask him to watch the store while I ran out to get a cup of coffee.” Paterno went to District Attorney John Muehl Oct. 7 after another baseball store owner told him he had been offered cards from Paternos. Using electronic and physical surveillance, the DA’s investigators determined that Turner was stealing cards from Paterno, according to a press release from Muehl’s office. During an interview, the suspect allegedly turned over several stolen cards, and investigators found 15 more in his home and his car, the release said.

Investigators also recovered 250 cards from that second store, the release said, as well as a card valued at $500 from Turner a private collector. In all, investigators report recovering $8,500 worth of merchandise. “Instances like this make us think – what did we miss?” said Mayor Jeff Katz. “What can we do to avoid this in the future? It affects everybody.” “This is very serious,” said Cooperstown Police Chief Michael Covert. “When he found out he was going to be in trouble for this, he resigned immediately.”

and the lights are confusing. The turn lane from Main to Chestnut is very wide.” The crosswalk gives pedestrians

22 seconds to cross from Bassett to Simply Thai, but during that time, drivers turning right off Main Street still have the light.

Glimmerglass Film Days has become a stop for new films on the festival circuit, including director Ivy Meeropol’s “Indian Point,” about the nuclear power plant on the Hudson River. The film played to acclaim at the Tribeca Film Festival in Manhattan, and Meeropol herself will be on hand for a discussion about the film on Saturday. “I expect there’s going to be some interesting debate,” said Parsons. But the festival is also showing classic films, including the 1993 adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s magical Edwardian-era tale, “The Secret Garden,” on Saturday morning. “There are many adaptations of this story, but this one, by Agnieszka Holland, is the best,” said Parsons. And because several of the films deal with gardens, the festival brought in Nico Tillie, a professor of landscape architecture at Delft University in the Netherlands, to talk about gardens he has designed and to introduce the Dutch film, “Portrait of a Garden.”
