a season of theater broadcasts from the National Theatre in South Bank, London. “The group that comes to see the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts were looking for something to do in the summer after the opera season ended,” said Susan Harris, the office manager who brought the broadcasts to Foothills. “I started looking at what other programming Worldwide HD Distribution offered.” Among the offerings were theater broadcasts from the National Theatre. “I sent the people on our opera listserv a list and had them pick which ones they’d like to see,” said Harris. “The most difficult part is always picking what to show!” They opened the season on June 20 with David Hare’s “Skylight,” starting Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy. “We didn’t know we could get it until two weeks before,” said Harris. “We spread it by word of mouth and we had a good crowd, but the people who missed it asked for an encore!” The plays, which included Dame Helen Mirren in “The Audience” and James Franco in “Of Mice and Men,” drew strong crowds to the upstairs black box theater, which has been equipped with surround sound and a high definition screen. “It’s a big cultural piece for our community,” said Harris. “We’ve started seeing people bringing their kids to the opera, to these shows, instead of sitting at home playing video games.”
On Saturday, Oct. 10, they hosted a second screening of “The Beaux Stratagem,” which had aired earlier in the season to a smaller crowd, who then encouraged friends to go. “People bring friends, they take posters into the community,” said Youngs. “It’s a grassroots effort.” And though these plays are filmed live and downloaded at a later date, “Hamlet,” like the Metropolitan Opera, will be streamed live from the National Theatre. “It happened to match up, time-wise,” said Harris. Youngs and Harris also see it as a continuation of Foothills mission to be a regional arts destination. “With these shows, people don’t have to travel to Albany or Binghamton to see these broadcasts,” said Harris. “They can have lunch in town and then come see the show at Foothills.” The live broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera started Saturday, Oct. 3 with a full house for “Il Trovatore,” and will continue through the end of April. And with with the success of the National Theatre shows, Youngs and Harris plan to continue bringing live and recorded theater broadcasts. At 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct 23, they’ll host a free screening of Rifftrax, where the stars of ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’ make fun of a chosen cheesy Halloween movie. “I’d love to get ‘The Lion King,’ for the families,” said Harris. “This has opened up a whole new world for us.”

Ranch on Bedbug Hill near Fly Creek. This is not to talk down those local projects. But they are not the main event. They are incrementally positive, but not transformative. The STEM and nanotechnology boom, when we plug into it – as we must – will make all the difference in a county that lost 300 jobs from August 2014 to August 2015 alone and where public-school enrollments are plummeting. • Again let it be said that the MV500 application, on the whole, is hugely impressive, promising a rebirth of the once-mighty Mohawk Valley industrial corridor, now sadly reduced. UticaMarcy should be thrilled. The bulk of the prospective investment, $200 mil-
lion, would be used for site and infrastructure development for ams, an Austrian wafer maker for semiconductors, on a 428-acre site. The whole project ($3 billion in public and private investment) is expected to create 1,000 direct and 500 indirect supply-chain jobs. Another $3 million in the MV500 document is aimed at AGT Services, which repairs and rebuilds power generators for the international market, near Amsterdam; $1.2 million for PAR Technology of Boulder, Colo., to move its headquarters to New Hartford; $12 million toward Indium Corp., another semi-conductor supplier; $2.9 million to support a test center for military equipment at the former Griffiss AFB. There’s $6 million for an
Innovation Accelerator Center at SUNY Poly in Marcy; $1.1 million for SUNY Poly to train the nano workforce, and $3 million for an Advance Manufacturing Institute at, not SUNY Oneonta, but Mohawk Valley Community College. The project focus is as it should be. STEM and nano have revived the Hudson Valley from Wappingers Falls to Saratoga Springs. The Buffalo Billion initiative is seeking a similar rebirth in Western New York. Let’s get with it, Otsego. • For now, the application’s in. The Utica-Marcy locus is sensible, the most likely way to win the half-billion for the Mohawk Valley Economic Development region. But, for Otsego, that has to be just the beginning, and a most unsatisfactory one. The county’s representatives on MV500 are Cooperstown Mayor Jeff Katz, Hall of Fame Vice President Ken Meifert, and Otsego Now President Sandy Mathes, the county’s economic developer, an able trio. When you think about it, though, both Katz and Meifert are tourism focused. Of the three, only Mathes has a manufacturing focus. Perhaps that should be changed, not to eliminate anyone, but to add two more – people like Otsego Now board chair Bob Hanft, a
scrapper like Country Club Auto proprietor Tom Armao, perhaps even Seward himself – to develop and deliver the county’s pitch. Asked about the MV500 application, Mathes pointed out that Oneida County has invested consistently over decades in the infrastructure modern commerce and manufacturing needs. Only now – if the Town of Oneonta Planning Board Monday, Oct. 19, gives its blessing to the Pony Farm lot – will Otsego Now have the first “shovel ready site” it has been seeking. Being rebuffed by MV500 also underscores it’s well past time to heal the rift between the county board and Otsego Now and create a unified county economicdevelopment strategy. Clark needs to take the lead. County Rep. Kay Stuligross, D-Oneonta, needs to stop her intransigence on this issue, and be a peacemaker. It’s a bipartisan failure. Also, SUNY Oneonta must be part of any solution: What must it do to become a mecca for STEM- and nanobound students? There’s not reason it should be pushed off the stage by Mohawk Valley Community College. What can we do that’s essential to STEM and nano development? Let’s figure it out; let’s do it; let’s reclaim our rightful seat at the MV500 table.

wonderful family, friendships and so many blessings. Why write about heaven knowing this might be my last column? Because there is so much to look forward to beyond this temporal life and while I still have breath left in me, I want to remind others that God has a glorious eternal home awaiting those who will choose to turn their lives over to Christ. Nothing I’ve ever done in this brief life has been as important as when I accepted Christ’s offer of salvation through faith in Him. The Apostle John gave us a glimpse of heaven and what awaits God’s people there. He writes about what God has shown him regarding the destiny of those who reject Christ in this life: “Their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Be awed by the sampling of what God has shared about heaven. The Bible says, “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.” When we look up into a star-studded night and take in all that can be seen just with the naked eye, it is almost too grand to take it all in as we gaze into the depths, width, and expanse of the physical universe. And what of the further depths of our universe as seen through the Hubble telescope! Yet what God has in store for us is so much greater than what we now see. The Bible says, “Eye has Please See BEYOND, A6
As He Does In Town, Andrew Stammel Would Bring Fresh Thinking To County To the Editor: Andrew Stammel is offering to serve the Town of Oneonta as our Otsego County representative. He will bring to that body all of the attributes which made him an effective Town Board member. Andrew is an incisive, independent thinker who works across party lines to get things done. He has demonstrated his willingness to step out in front and take a firm, reasoned position on key issues. He is soft-spoken and low key in his presentations, which tends to mask sharp analytical skills and his ability to get to the heart of matters. We need representatives who are willing to take a public and early stand on those broad issues which affect both town and county residents. I could cite many
examples from Andrew’s time on the town board, such as his leadership role in opposing fracking and the town/city merger. But, from a personal standpoint, I most appreciated his outspoken opposition to a misguided attempt to build a 30-acre mobile home site on Hemlock Road, a proposal which was totally incompatible with the neighborhood. If elected as Otsego County representative, Andrew Stammel will be able to continue his phiEditor’s Note: Local elections are Tuesday, Nov. 3.

losophy of being fiscally responsible, proactive and taking the long-range view with respect to economic development and quality of life issues. This philosophy will stand his constituents in good stead when dealing with major County issues such as the need for strategic planning and investment in the town and county infrastructure as well as county board reform. The Town of Oneonta needs representation by individuals such as Andrew who bring to the table fresh, thoughtful and reasoned proposals and who can work across party lines to implement them. I urge the voters to support his candidacy for Otsego County representative. GEORGE C. BROWN Oneonta
Katz Backs Sternberg At Town, Marietta At County To the Editor: I met Richard Sternberg a few years ago. At that time he was a surgeon at Bassett and new to the community. The first thing he said to me was, “How can I help?” Shortly after that conversation, I appointed Richard to the Village of Cooperstown Planning Board. Now retired, Richard is a Rotarian and an important member of the Planning Board. Richard’s attention to the law, fairness and proper process makes him incredibly valuable and I have no doubt that these qualities will serve us all well if he is elected to the Town of Otsego Board.
I’ve known Andy Marietta much longer and have encountered him in so many ways. Andy is involved in every aspect of community life. He has served as president of the Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce, as a leader on the school board and as an owner of village properties that are rented to year-‘round residents. In that regard, Andy puts his money where his mouth is, sacrificing the short-term profits of renting to tourists to ensure the health of our community by bringing in families that add to school enrollment, have a place to live 12 months a year and, with roots planted, often
buy homes here. In addition, Andy’s work as regional manager at NYCON (New York State Council of Nonprofits) has brought him into contact with so many important community organizations in need of guidance and help. Andy’s honesty, integrity, reliability, consistency and community commitment are unimpeachable and matched by very few. He would be an ideal county representative. Please vote for both Richard Sternberg and Andy Marietta this November. JEFF KATZ Mayor Village of Cooperstown

Of the 30 days in September it rained only MATTICE during 6 of them! It gave us some great weather to play outside but for our good friends the farmers, it was not fun. I didn’t see or hear of any frost during the month but I’ve seen more corn harvested this September than I can remember. The dryness made the corn and soy beans look like they were hit by a killer frost. The area saw over 2 inches of rain on the 29th, that’s why we finished the month about normal for rainfall. By the way, we had only a brief thundershower in August and not one in September, that is really rare! Oh yeah, September was only the second month this year that had temperatures above average. Our year to date precipitation stands at 34.83 inches which is 5.09 inches above normal. The autumn leaves seem to be a bit dull and behind schedule for the first full week of October, but we have some great days coming this week. Let’s hope mother nature turns the brightness and sharpness of the red, yellow, and orange up a notch. Regardless, this is the most beautiful time of the year in central New York! Please get outside and enjoy it. If you are looking for things to do, look on the Happenin’ Otsego calendar for all of the great activities that the Fall brings to our area. October is off to a much chillier start, but more about that next month. So until then, have a great time and Keep Your Eye On The Weather!

OPD Explores Getting Instant Help For Addicts Who Want It HELP/From A1 Michael Covert in Cooperstown called me up because he had heard about the PAARI program too!” Under the PAARI program, an addict would be able to come into the police station and tell the officer on duty that they need help kicking their addiction. The kit will be logged and an intake performed, and the person will then be transported by police to the hospital, where there will be help with filling out
continue to check in with the patient, transport them to meetings and assist with continued recovery. “The Angel sticks with them through the process so they have support,” said Jeanette Tolson, Executive Director of Friends of Recovery of Otsego and Delaware Counties. “The program has gained a lot of traction and saved a lot of lives,” said Brenner. “And two police stations can work better than one. Right now we’re just trying to identify the hurdles and get the pieces of the puzzle together. It takes a lot of coordination.” Brenner and Covert have been meeting with the Opiate Task Force and LEAF to coordinate relief efforts, Official portrait including Gloucester, Mass., Police chief Leonard Campanello has devised a keeping an up-to-date list program to get instant help to adof open beds dicts that want it. in recovery centers and recruiting volunteers for insurance paperwork.

Rev. Jim Wheeler’s Final Message: Enjoy Life, But Don’t Fear Death BEYOND/From A4 not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” Some believe that in our eternal state we might travel His glorious universe. Being a Star Trek fan, I would love that to be true. On a more serious note, I’m sure that whatever God does have in store for us will be wonderful beyond our imagination. Heaven can be yours if you will put your trust in Christ, and call upon Him to save you from your sins. In a time in which many hearts are turning cold and away from God, Christ patiently and lovingly reaches out to a lost and sinful world. Death for the believer is but a step out of this world and into eternity. In this life, like so many others, I too have wrestled with the disease called cancer that has been determined to try to get the best of me and rob me of
life. But cancer has never owned me. I have cancer, but cancer does not have me. Let it never be said of me that I lost a great battle to cancer. When my time comes, it will be God’s perfect timing and He alone will take me home on His terms, not on cancer’s terms. Get on board for an eternity with Christ. Serve Him here. Do not be in a hurry to go to heaven, but look forward to it. Eternal life awaits you if you put your faith in Christ. Then heaven will be yours when it is God’s time.
and they cannot be trying to elude arrests. “It’s a balance,” said Brenner. “Sometimes we have to just make that arrest. We’re not going to continue letting someone do bad things.” And the addict has to come in willingly. “We don’t want parents drag-
ging in their kid and saying, ‘you need to fix this’,” said Covert. “The addict has to want to get clean.” In Oneonta, the police do not carry Naloxone kits to reverse overdoses, but the EMS and Fire Department, usually the first ones on the scene, do. And Brenner
hopes that with addicts getting clean, the police can focus their resources on arresting large-scale dealers. “There’s been a real rise in opiate addiction, but it’s not unique to Oneonta, or even to upstate New York,” said Brenner. “It’s nationwide.”
They hope to have the program up and running by the end of 2015. “If we can get one addict to come in, to have that hope through their paranoia, we’ll count that as a success,” said Covert. “We want to make a dent in our corner of the state,” said Brenner.

Mandigo. Mandigo also honored Erickson with a gift basket at the end of the recognition ceremony in The Farmers’ Museum’s Louis C. Jones Center; honorees and those honoring them then cross to The Fenimore to view the exhibit. “Janet is one of the best oil painters you’ve ever seen,” Mandigo said. Smith was the first to be painted. “I’ve known Grace for 30 years and she has always been involved in the community,” said her nominator, Marie Stallone, who spoke at the opening reception. “All her efforts go into
helping others.” In painting each portrait, Erickson started by meeting the subject, making small sketches and snappingf photographs. She also talked with the nominees, recording the interviews on her iPad. Some of those interviews were used in a short video prepared by SUNY Oneonta student Caroline Stoerger to document the process. Other students helped paint iconography of the heroes, on display beneath their portraits. “I used charcoal on the 30-inch by 40-inch canvas for the initial study, then went over with oil paint to lay in the light and shadows,” said Erickson. “Sometimes I would do a color study on small board so I could get a feel of the colors I wanted to use without making a commitment to the big space.” Some of these early sketches and studies are also part of the exhibit, showcasing the work from start to finish. But Erickson had so many nominations that she added a piece to the exhibit – a group of 13 photo portraits by SUNY Oneonta student Beth Cleveland. Marge Merzig “I had was applaudbrought ed for her Beth many civic activities. on, but I wasn’t sure what to do with her,” said Erickson. “And when we started getting all these nominations, we added the photo piece so we could extend the number of heroes we honored.” Among those honorees were Oneonta Common Council member and GOHS Executive Director Bob Brzozowski, Assistant Fire Chief Jim Maloney, Boys and Girls Club program director John Delberta, Oneonta Teen Center Director and Hometown Oneonta photographer Ian Austin, and WWII Veteran Sgt. Vincent “Steve” Papareytes, whose daughter, Lori, was photographed displaying his medals and photo. “My father couldn’t swim, but he did two beach landings in World War II, including Normandy,” Lori Papareytes said. “I didn’t tell my mom I was doing this, so it’s a huge surprise for her!” And Erickson isn’t done honoring heroes just yet. Her grant was renewed, allowing her to paint and photograph several additional portraits for a show at SUNY Oneonta’s Project Space in late April. Heroes can be nominated by email at cnycommunityheroes@ gmail.com “I want to honor as many as I can,” she said. “And until those (nominations) come in, I don’t know what to do with myself!”

But she isn’t coloring an ordinary picture – she’s making braille art. “I use braille patterns, like letters and signs, on my braille typewriter,” she said. “Then I put those all together to make a picture, like this duck!” Julianna and her sister, Marissa, 12, were both born with Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), which prevents the blood vessels forming at the edges of the retina, causing vision loss. “She can only see a little light through her left eye.

her artistic side. “She was getting bored with just doing braille,” she said. “I had a student who would use his brailler to draw, so I looked around to see if I could find some patterns.” She found instructions from the Perkins Institute for the Blind that used braille letters and signs to make patterns.

10-Year-Old Adapts Braille Skill To Creating Colorful Artworks BRAILLE/From B1 immediately, churning out drawing after drawing. “I made one of a lizard, but I didn’t color it,” she said. “We got a class pet, a lizard named Copper, so I colored it to look like him.” She even expanded her talents to collage, using a picture from a magazine as the paper for a braille poem as a Mother’s Day gift. “It’s called ‘A Rose is a Rose,’ and it’s about how all these fruits and vegetables are like roses, because they start from a seed and grow into a flower.” And last year, for her family’s annual “Eye on the Future” fundraiser, which
raises money for the Vision Research ROPARD Foundation, she set up a booth, selling pictures and braille thank-you cards with hearts on the front. “I sold all of them!” she said. The fundraiser continues this year with a soup cookoff and basket raffle from 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Tryon Inn in Cherry Valley, with all proceeds going to the foundation. She has a stack of drawings to color, ranging from a bunny to a house to an American flag. “I don’t put glass in the frame so that you can touch the art,” she said. “That’s what it’s for!”

Stone House, Magnet For Chepachet’s Development, Soon To Be On National Register STONE/From B1 – an application to the National Register of Historic Places. Two years ago, when Kathleen LaFrank, the state’s National Register Unit coordinator, spoke on the application process at the Oneonta History Center, Novitski attended. Then he got started. The result – with fewer evocative adjectives and action verbs, perhaps, than his earlier writing – fulfilled the challenge: In September 2014, he submitted his findings. This June, the 14-member state Board for Historic Preservation, meeting at its Peebles Island headquarters in the Hudson River north of Albany, recommended the property’s listing to the National Park Service.
When the process is complete, the plumb, gabled stone home, a Federal form that contains transitional and Greek Revival elements, and 60 surrounding acres will be the only National Register property in the Town of Winfield, within eyesight of Otsego County’s northernmost corner, (and Monticello Hills wind farm, if it is eventually built.) “I would encourage other people to do this,” Novitski said, sipping coffee on the house’s screen porch that, on the slope of the ridge that divides the Mohawk and Susquehanna watersheds, looks out on unspoiled fields. “This is not difficult. In fact, it was a lot of fun.” It was a learning experience, too. Novitski discovered New York State conducted an agricultural

These proved essential in putting together a picture of the 19th century hamlet of Chepachet, particularly given that decades of early records were lost in a fire in the county clerk’s office in Herkimer. The 1890 “History of Herkimer County,” and town histories of West Winfield and Litchfield, proved further helpful. There were original sources.

C OOPTOBERFEST BRINGS 100 TAPS TO VILLAGE
Cooperstown On Tap, the evening part of Saturday, Oct. 10’s first Cooptoberfest, had beer aficionados line Main Street for half a block in each direction in front of the Baseball Hall of Fame to sample 100 beers, organized by TownSquare Media’s “America on Tap” subsidiary.
Bourbon & Branch, featuring, among others, Assistant District Attorney Will Green, right, and next to him CGP professor Will Walker, were among the bands entertaining the Cooperstown On Tap crowd. Mike Tomaino of Utica, left, Erin Kirby and Jessica House of Cooperstown, and Rachel Pier of Oneonta were among fun-seekers hoisting beer samples in front of the Hall of Fame.
Scott Barton pours a sample for Tim Moakler of Middlefield, whose family ran the Bavarian Hops Farm in that town during the county’s hop heyday.
A cheerful Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matt Hazzard, center, expresses satisfaction to colleague Hannah Bergen and her dad, Greg, after warm temperatures and cloudless skies made the first Cooptoberfest a success.
