T

he city Planning Commission is calling a special meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, for further citizen input on Housing Vision’s Silver Creek senior housing project, and it’s not sure what it’s in for. The commission’s regular Wednesday, Sept. 16, went on for more than two hours, as neighbors expressed concerns about wildlife, traffic and water runoff. “I let everyone speak,” said Chairman Dennis Finn. “The neighbors had competing concerns,” said Benjamin Lockwood, Housing Visions vice Dennis Finn president/business development. “Some people are saying ‘leave this’ and others are saying ‘keep that.’ Everyone has concerns, and we want to make sure we adequately address them.” Some wanted to keep the area wild, but the biggest concern Finn heard was whether or not the site had proper water pressure for firefighters. “They’ve got three or four ways they can accomPlease See HOUSING, A6

Though she was out of town when called for comment, her husband, Pat, said, “She’s excited!” Of the 200 tickets, 50 were set aside for teens, who will travel to New York by bus with five chaperones. “Each parish could submit three names to the Diocese for a lottery,” said Maureen Joy, Parish Life Director at Holy Cross in Morris. And two of those 50 tickets went to teenagers at Holy Cross in Morris, including one to Joy’s granddaughter, Elizabeth Thompson. “When I asked who wanted to go, she put in her name,” Joy said. “And she told me, ‘You know I’ll win, Grandma.’ And wouldn’t you know it, she did!” Elizabeth, 14, believes that hearing Francis speak will be a “life-changing” experience. “He’s the Pope of the people,” she said. “He interacts with everyone, not just certain types of people.” Morris senior Peter Wendler also won a ticket to the mass. Students will have to board a bus at the Pastoral Center in Albany at 8 a.m. “The doors open at 2 p.m. and everyone has to be in their seats by 3,” said Poust. The pope was met Tuesday, Sept. 22 by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington D.C. It’s the first time the pope has visited the U.S. in his life. “Most pontiffs have been to the U.S. as Cardinals and Bishops, but this trip is unique to him,” said Father David Mickiewicz, St. Mary’s pastor.

Listening To Allstadt, We’re Going To Get Through Global Warming

Y

ou don’t make it to a ranking position in a Fortune 500 company by screaming and running for the exits every time a crisis looms. So it makes sense that Cooperstown’s Lou Allstadt, former Mobil Oil executive vice president, can approach even such an apocalyptic crisis as global warming – the end of the world! – with analytical calm. And so he did Sept. 20, before a crowd of 75 – from Jim Kevlin/HOMETOWN ONEONTA Cooperstown and Oneonta Lou Allstadt addresses a rapt SRO crowd in alike – that packed Village Board chambers at 22 Main Cooperstown Village Hall Sunday, Sept. 20, on the inevitablity of renewables. in the first Friends of the Village Library Sunday aftoday; for wind, from 60 only 20 percent of gasoline ternoon lecture of the 2015- cents per Kw hour in 1980 is turning the engine; the 16 series.

And “because the airlines hate the oil companies,” jets already run in part on biofuel. Then there are passive solar houses. And heat pumps. And carbon-free iron smelting. And turning off the lights after your teenagers turn them back on. Some of this stuff you CAN try at home. “Some people would like to change things overnight – cold turkey,” said Allstadt. “It’s not going to happen.” Overnight, that is. Listening to Allstadt, it IS going to happen. Via market forces and innovation. We’re not going to have to reduce ourselves to penury to make it happen. • You’ve got to love origi-

nal thinking. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of; (not original with us). So from contemplating Lou Allstadt, Oneonta’s intellectually effervescent brothers-in-law, Al Colone and Bill Shue, co-founders of GO-EDC, come to mind. When their latest call for a simple study of town-city merger – just the facts! – was met with near-hysteria in Town Hall, they took a fresh look. It makes sense for the city and town to work together, they concluded the other day: But if the town is obdurate, the city isn’t helpless. The city isn’t broke, but if it were, Colone and Shue found, City Hall could:

Impose a commuter tax on 6,000 of the 9,000 people working in the city who don’t live there (and perhaps raise $3 million; city taxes would drop 52 percent). Engineer a “hostile annexation,” allowed by state law, seizing land under the airport and reservoirs (where, believe it or not, the city pays town, county and school taxes). Get state impact aid for policing SUNY students. Charge non-residents to use the library. Impose a 10 percent tax on drinks in bars. Seize assets from criminal activity. Raise bus fares and taxes on taxicabs. Here’s the doozy: Cancel fire and rescue contracts – let townsfolks figure out their own fire and EMT service, and pay for it solo. This is good stuff. Not that it should be done. But Colone and Shue are thinking. And, so, of course, is Allstadt. Friends, we’re not at the end of history (locally or internationally) – as long as we’re not at the end of human ingenuity.

ing some sort of carbon fee in their forward investment planning. For too long, concern that action on climate change would adversely impact the economy has held up progress. The Gibson resolution recognizes that we need to address climate change in a way that does not crater the economy, and that protects the poor and middle class. A number of studies show that addressing climate change could actually stimulate the economy and that

the costs of taking action are no greater than the costs of inaction. A few days ago Citigroup’s “Global Perspectives & Solutions” released a comprehensive study concluding that dealing with severe climate incidents — flooding of coastal cities, drought, forest fires — will be more expensive than converting to renewable energy. “The incremental costs of following a low carbon path … seem affordable, the ‘return’ on that investment

is acceptable and moreover the likely avoided liabilities are enormous. Given that all things being equal cleaner air has to be preferable to pollution, a very strong ‘Why would you not?’ argument begins to develop”. Indeed, why not take action now — especially when a large number of economists agree that a revenue neutral fee on carbon should be a major component of the solution? Putting a gradually increasing fee on carbon provides the incentives needed to move toward renewable energy. If the fee is returned to the American people, through tax credits or direct payments, we can protect the poor and middle class and also stimulate the economy. Border adjustments for imports or exports of energy or goods with high energy content can protect American businesses and American workers from unfair foreign competition. A revenue neutral fee on

carbon would not increase the deficit, is relatively simple to administer, and is not as subject to manipulation as are Cap and Trade systems. It provides the certainty needed to allow businesses and families to plan ahead. It also allows economic drivers to point to the best energy solutions — without the government picking winners and losers, and without an army of Washington bureaucrats mandating solutions. The headline for the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) 2014 report states “1000+ companies are now disclosing to their key stakeholders that they currently price their carbon emissions – or intend to in the next two years – to try to meet their climate change risks, a number that was unthinkable just a few years ago.” The report explains: “Corporations use internal carbon pricing to offset the costs and risks of greenhouse gas production, and Please See ALLSTADT, a7

Whartons’ Success Opened The Door For Barack Obama To the Editor: Great coverage on Clif Wharton’s autobiography, “Privilege and Prejudice.” A life nobly lived. We are doubly blessed to have Clif and Dolores Wharton among us.

Embrace Natural Gas Benefits, At Least For Now To the Editor: Brian Brock recently wrote that the Constitution Pipeline is unnecessary for Amphenol’s wellbeing. He stated that Leatherstocking Gas Corp.’s distribution line could have tapped the Dominion in Madison County, moved the gas along the Emkey line to Norwich, and then built a 25mile pipeline to Sidney. Amphenol would have gas now if Leatherstocking had been smart. Although Brock’s route is truly roundabout, at least he now admits that Amphenol needs cheap, reliable gas. He ignores the Constitution ’s primary market – New York City. There the gas will replace oil, allowing the city to lower emissions to meet EPA standards. Amphenol benefits from one of the four taps allotted to Leatherstocking. The Constitution’s route is only a short distance from Amphenol. But let’s cut to the quick. Forget astute business advice: Brock’s real intent is opposition to ALL new transmission lines. The Constitution is only the nearest target.

He joins a worldwide cabal whose mission is to impede gas development and prop up renewables’ direct and indirect subsidies. By adding costs to fossil fuels and hiding renewables’ true costs, they hope to equalize prices and tilt public opinion towards wind and solar. It doesn’t work. A German friend showed me his 2014 electric bill. He paid .29 euro per KWH. Cost averaging the 2014 exchange rates, that’s about 38 cents American. Germans pay three times more than New Yorkers and New York’s rate are high. In spite of massive investments, only about 15 percent of German energy came from renewables. Even so, emissions rose in the last three years. Germans burn more coal to maintain the stability of the grid. This is the Promised Land to which Mr. Brock and his friends would lead you. Don’t follow. Take the tap at Sidney and keep our rates low, our houses warm, and our jobs here. DICK DOWNEY Unatego Area Landowners Association

Mirthful Mentions – Woman is the cork to many a bottled secret. Attentive to duty: The Customs House officer. Sixty percent off: The ballet girl’s costume. Housewives are now asking the moths what they “camphor.” A short method of measuring timber is by “sawlogarithms.” If the boys don’t kiss the misses, then the girls will miss the kisses. A crowbar a hundred years old is as “pry” as it ever was. The tariff on foreign goods is a thing of great import in this country. Most men will follow suit, if it is tailor made and on a pretty girl.

A growing number of Americans are getting unlisted phone numbers to protect themselves against criminals, cut down nuisance calls and, in some cases, evade bill collectors. The price of privacy varies from state to state, however, and the barrier against unwanted calls is far from foolproof. American Telephone & Telegraph Corp., owner and operator of 80 percent of the nation’s telephones, says about 12 percent of all phone numbers are unlisted. The rate in big cities is higher. Monthly charges for unlisted numbers range from 15 cents in San Francisco to over a dollar in New York City. About half of the 50 states also have initial fees ranging from $5 to $15. Why an unlisted number? “I don’t want to get obscene phone calls,” says one young woman. “Listing your phone number under your initials isn’t protection enough.” Another telephone subscriber said he did not want burglars to learn when and when he was not at home. Can the police get an unlisted number? No, according to an ATT&T spokesman, although there are exceptions in case of an emergency. The A.C. Nielsen Co., which compiles viewer ratings for television shows, uses a system known as “random digit dialing” that will reach unlisted numbers. The technique is also used by salesmen and poll takers. September 1975

Murderous Assault – Awakened from a sound sleep by the slash of a razor across her face and her infuriated husband standing over the bed making further attempts to carry out his fiendish motives was the experience of Mrs. Mary Bovenzi at the home at 63 Main Street, a 5:30 o’clock Tuesday morning. The attention of neighbors residing in the vicinity of the viaduct was attracted by the screams of the injured woman, among them Ira Silliman, who hurriedly dressed and went to the Bovenzi home. There he found the woman on the steps bleeding from a gash across her face. She told him the circumstances and pointed to her husband who was disappearing down Market Street towards Broad. Silliman rushed to the telephone and got in touch with Officer Shaffer, who in turn notified Chief Blizard and in less than 20 minutes the whole police force, including both day and night officers, together with four special D. & H. officers, were on the scene. Automobiles were at once dispatched to Emmons crossing and Glenn Bridge and by telephone all exits to the city were soon covered. Officers Brown and Parshall (who were at Glenn Bridge) got on track of the man and caught him as he was about to enter a barn about two miles this side of Otego. Mrs. Bovenzi was taken in an automobile to Fox Memorial Hospital where her wounds and injuries were treated by D. G.W. Augustin. September 1915

That’s when a doctor examined Spence’s sore left leg and asked him to call an end to the 20-year career as custodian and weekend watchman that touched the lives of hundreds of youngsters.

Questions Raised On Housing HOUSING/From A1 plish that,” said Finn. Housing Visions, a Syracuse-based company that take over blighted housing, renovates it and puts it back on the tax rolls, plans to build 40 apartments of senior housing and two four-unit family townhouses at the Silver Creek site, as well as renovating a nearby building into apartments. “They’re being treated as three separate projects, but they’re all under the same financial structure,” said Lockwood. The organization has already received $6.8 million from the state in tax credits and loans, with the $15 million balance being raised privately. “Our mission is neighborhood revitalization,” said Lockwood. “We collaborate with cities and use our real estate development knowledge to help neighborhoods.” Earlier this spring, the Planning Commission approved the renovations for the houses at 63-65 Spruce St. At its Sept. 16 meeting, it approved the site plan for the Columbia and West street projects, including demolition of four dilapidated houses and a barn. The other two projects were received with “very little” public comment, according to Bill Kerbin, the city Community Development director, and will add a total of 58 units of affordable housing. Lockwood is working with the Delaware Engineering PC to put together a final site plan and environmental review, which will be presented to the board at the special meeting in hopes of getting the approval to start the project. If the site plan is approved, Lockwood hopes to start construction on all three projects by Nov. 1. “I’m hoping they all come to a conclusion,” said Finn. “And I hope Housing Visions gets their approval.”

Suicide Prevention. Denise Cetta of Walton, whose son, Collton Church, 24, died six weeks ago, held the other end. Collton’s friends and relatives walked immediately behind, wearing “Team Collton” shirts. The Oneonta walk, the fourth annual local one, was the largest to date, said organizer Donna Lang, whose son Anthony Barnhart, 29, of Unadilla, passed away in 2011. Asked what lesson she drew from the turnout, Lang replied, “People aren’t afraid to come out and acknowledge it,” adding, “I call it bittersweet.” Andi Miller spoke before the march but emotions welled up, preventing her from expressing all her thoughts. After the walk, Assemblyman Pete Lopez, R-Schoharie, whose district includes Worcester, Decatur, Roseboom and Cherry Valley, recounted the stories of a friend and an uncle who succumbed to suicide, and a family member’s attempt. “They feel so isolated and so lost that there’s no way back,” he told marchers at the walk’s completion. Her husband’s passing on Oct. 25, 2014, transformed her outlook about suicide, Andi Miller said in an interview afterwards. She used to believe – an opinion expressed by many – that suicide is cowardice. That’s a myth, she now believes: “It’s not cowardice. It’s desperation.” Fable had come over and put her arms around her mother. “You don’t ask to have suicidal thoughts,” the daughter added. Mayor Miller left a note explaining his motives, the wife said, and both mother and daughter expressed thanks that he had done so. “It was a gift; it was the greatest gift,” said Fable. Miller, 71, had suffered from depression, his wife

‘O

N-ee-ON-ta.” That’s how the residents of Oneonta, Ala., pronounce their town’s name. “There’s one radio announcer who pronounces it OWN-ee-ONta, but we all make fun of him,” said Oneonta High School senior Abbey McCullugh, captain of the OHS’ Redskins cheerlead-

ing squad, who was sporting a blue and yellow Oneonta Yellowjackets jersey on loan from her coach, Sharon Stanridge, who had visited our Upstate New York city a few years before. This southern city, the seat of Blount County, just 45 minutes from Birmingham, was discovered in 1817 by John Hamby, a scout for iron ore companies who located what became Blount Oneonta, Ala., cheerleaders, led by Captain Abbey County’s Champion Mine.

Oneonta, Ala., Oozes Southern Charm

TWIN CITYI/From B1 iron ore in North America,” said Ross Norris, this city’s mayor for the last three years. “It made us our home, but it’s long gone now.” The future city grew quickly as miners came to work, and the Lima & November train line was laid, running the ore from Oneonta to Birmingham. “The railroad superintendent, William Newbold, he enjoyed coming to the town, and named it for his hometown of Oneonta, New York,” said Brandon Horton, public safety director. The mines were closed in the 1960s, but the community continued to grow; today’s population is just under 7,000. “Growing up, there was just the old downtown,” said Norris. “There were no outskirts, no Walmart – that kind of development started in the 1950s. Even the Piggly Wiggly was downtown!” And though the city has expanded outward, the latest focus is reviving its Main Street, including removing post-War aluminum facades, as happened with Bresee’s in 2008. “A lot of investors are coming in and upgrading these buildings to revitalize them,” said Norris, pointing to a gutted brick building now under renovation. “They came in and said, ‘This is what we want, this old brick’.” But what you won’t see are bars and nightclubs. “Blount County has been dry since Prohibition,” said Norris. “We just got wet in 2013, but 60 percent of a restaurant’s business has to be food, so there are no bars. It’s a city ordinance.” In the old Neely movie theater, Randy Beason saw an opportunity for a Neely Arts Center, and he opened a dance studio and space where he gives music lessons. “After my wife and I bought it, a lady – she had to be 117 – saw me and asked, ‘Are you the boy who bought the theater? I got my first kiss in there’!” he said. “I’m sure there were quite a few first kisses here. I remember my dad telling me that he saw movies here!” Norris continued: “The owner, Nick, was a wrestler and he had a bear at his house that he would wrestle. We had the same birthday, July 30, so he would let me in free, give me popcorn and a soda. The last movie I saw here was ‘True Grit’ with John Wayne.” Among the artifacts found in the theater renovations was a pile of bamboo. “I didn’t know why it was there,” said Beason. “Then somebody told me that they used to put it up when they showed a ‘Tarzan’ movie!” But no matter what’s going on downtown, on Friday nights – and when any home game is played – football is king, with everyone sporting school colors, crimson and blue. “We’re still the Redskins,” said Norris. “Don’t know for how long, but we hope it remains.” “I grew up in Susan Moore” – another town nearby – “and we had a big football rivalry,” said Nicole Singleton, a Blount Countian reporter. “I was dating a guy in Oneonta, and we would bicker about whose team was better!” “Football is a Southern thing,” said Horton. “It resonates down to the locals. It’s the highlight of life in these

small communities.” Steve Johnson, who was drafted by the New England Patriots in 1988, is perhaps his hometown’s most famous resident, and the athletic complex is named in his honor. In 2013 and ’14, this OHS girls’ basketball team took the state championship, and the marching band has played in the Macy’s Day Parade in New York City and at Disney World. On the outskirts lie perhaps what Oneonta is most famous for – covered bridges. “We’re the covered bridge capital of the South,” said Horton, whose family is the namesake of the Horton Covered Bridge. “It was the premier way of travel in Alabama.” At Neely Arts Center, Built in 1934, the Horton, one of formerly the Neely Thethree still remaining, was the first ater, owner Randy Beason covered bridge in the Southeast to holds a clock face that be added to the National Register appeared on the exterior, of Historic Places and, at 70 feet a city landmark. above the Calvert Prong of the Little Warrior River, is the highest covered bridge in the country. Horton’s great-grandfather, businessman Thurman M. Horton, built the bridge, and when it underwent various restorations, both his father and his grandfather worked on it. “I remember my dad hanging from a rope to restore the tin,” said Horton. “I wouldn’t want to do that!” The two other remaining bridges are the Swann and the Easley. And every October, Oneonta hosts the Covered Bridge Festival, with a 5K race, music and the “Miss Covered At the Oneonta History Bridge” pageant. “Everybody has Center, bookkeeper Gememories of the covered bridges,” The welcoming committee outside of City Hall in neva Wall holds a huge said Horton.

My daughter wanted Boston and my sons wanted Cooperstown, so while they toured the Hall of Fame, my daughter and I went shopping. It’s a neat little town.” “My brother Austin played at Dreams Park,” said junior Savannah Tibbett. “We went to Long Island to see family; then we drove up!” “I drove through once on Interstate 88,” added Police Chief Arthur Willis. “I remember thinking that it was really clean and there were no billboards.” Occasionally, though, they’re mistaken for The Other Oneonta. “Someone called City Hall and they were so mad because their car got Ian Austin/ OTSEGO.com Oneonta, Ala.’s First Ave, the equivalent of Oneonta, N.Y.’s Main Street, features many towed out of the parking garage,” said Norris. “I said, ‘We don’t have similarities, including an aluminum facade being removed, as Bresee’s was in 2008. a parking garage’!” “I’ve gotten packages here for Oneonta, New York,” said B.J. Addamson, the school’s bookkeeper. “I just send them to where they’re supposed to go!” And if anyone from New York’s Oneonta wants to come visit, call up City Hall beforehand and they’ll roll out the red carpet. “We want to show our Southern Hospitality,” said Horton. “We’re happy to carry “This is what we were looking for, people around for the day.” this old brick,” said Director of Pub“It’s a town and a community lic Safety Brandon Horton of a buildEpps, Kelly and Nowland pore over Stephen we’re proud of,” said Norris.

Oneonta, Ala., Made These New York Oneontans Feel At Home WELCOME/From B1 for The Blount Countian. Kelly handed us a gift basket she had put together, complete with coffee mugs, local books and city Tshirts. And Mayor Norris gleefully put on the hat we brought him. A few gathered on the couch to pore over the photographs in “Oneonta 360.” “We’ve got to get one of these,” said City Clerk Tammie Nowland. We had planned to explore the town on our own, but Norris and Horton had other plans. For six hours, they escorted us from site to site, telling us about the redevelopment of Main Street, childhood stories of growing up in their Oneonta, and sharing the history of their hometown. We told them about Foothills, the colleges, Table Rock and Mayor Dick Miller’s legacy. We

compared stories about how our cities ended up with the same name, parceling out the history between the legends. It speaks volumes to us that both Horton and Ross – and so many others – chose to stay and serve their hometown. But what struck the two of us most was how many ways our towns were similar, even 1,000 miles apart. Just as we removed the 1950s alumninum facade of Bresee’s, similar facades was coming off Creative Frame & Trophy on their Main Street. Their “outskirts” – as they call them – look much like our Southside, complete with a Tractor Supply Company and a WalMart. An old downtown theater was bought and renovated, this time into music and arts space. And their sports teams were the “Redskins,” a name Cooperstown Cen-

we saw Abbey going into the Neely Arts Center in her dance clothes, and she smiled again and waved. “I’m seeing you guys all over!” she said. Talk about small-town familiarity! And barbeque! While we may only have Brooks and Andre’s Blue Ribbon up here, the best barbeque is a subject of much playful debate in Oneonta, Ala. “When we were trying to think of a place to recommend you eat, there was a lot of talk about what the best was,” said Horton. “Everyone has their favorIan Austin/ OTSEGO.com ites.” Southern Hospitality was evident from the start, And although we’re sure as City Hall receptionist Megan Kelly presents it was all delicious, they setthe visitors with a basket of souvenirs from “The tled on sending us to O’So Little Town With Big Ideas.” Good BBQ, just on the edge of town, where they piled tral only recently abandoned with a performance of the our plates high with pulled for “Hawkeyes.” cheerleaders homecompork and ribs so tender, the And just as we were exing routine, with captain meat fell off the bone if you cited to be there, they were Abbey McCullugh sporting touched the plate.

At the end of our tour, Horton brought us to the top of The Palisades, a beautiful park overlooking the whole city. It reminded us of climbing Table Rock, but not in a way that made us homesick. Rather, we felt so welcomed into their Oneonta that we plan to go back and stay a few days. I’ve kept in touch with Horton and Kelly since our return, and look forward to seeing them again soon. And, of course, we invited everyone we met to come up to New York and visit our town. Seeing how proud they were of their city made us proud of our city, being able to serve as ambassadors for the place we happily call home.
