All Standing In Hartwick Town Race PRIMARY/From A1 of unprecedented twists in the race for Hartwick’s top post. On Primary Day, Thursday, Sept. 10, the races for the supervisor nomination were too close to call without counting absentee ballots. Last Thursday, Sept. 17, counting the absentee ballots yielded ties in all three primaries: • The Republican primary was tied, 53 each for O’Brien and Butler. • The Democratic primary was tied, 34 each for Sharratt and O’Brien. • The Conservative primary was tied, 3 each for Sharratt and Butler. “I’m relieved,” said O’Brien on hearing news the evening of the 22nd. “I am very pleased that the Republicans thought I was the candidate to shape the future of Hartwick.” But earlier in the evening, Butler pointed out O’Brien had been registered Democratic, but switched to the GOP because he thought he could win the town committee’s support. If the committee – which it did – were to endorse O’Brien, “that would be wrong,” said Butler, who contended he is “the only Republican” in the race.

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/The Freeman’s Journal 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

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

Thirty-six outstanding honor scouts and three adult leaders – specially selected in recognition of their backgrounds in scouting and the community – served last week at the New York World’s Fair as members of the World’s Fair Scout Service Corp Troop 92. From the 2,925 members of the Otschodela Council, headquartered in Oneonta and representing Cooperstown, his hometown, was Martin H. Tillapaugh. Roscoe C. Briggs of Oneonta was honored Tuesday by the Cooperstown Rotary Club as its “Founding Father.” Nearly 42 years ago, Mr. Briggs was a delegate from the Oneonta Rotary Club which organized the Cooperstown club. It was on January 8, 1924 that the Cooperstown Rotary Club held its first regular luncheon meeting at the old Hotel Fenimore on the northeast corner of Main and Chestnut Streets. One week later, the Cooperstown Rotary Club received its official charter from the then District Governor Edwin A. Weeks of Binghamton.

Accident: On Monday last, a young man living in Middlefield met with a very painful accident, caused by that very often severe inflictor, the barbed wire fence. This young man attempted to get over one of these dangerous fences by placing his foot on the lower wire, which gave way while his body was just over the top wire. He was brought to the office of Dr. Bassett in this village, and the Doctor called in some of the village physicians. After consultation, Dr. Bassett performed a most delicate operation on his patient, who is reported to be doing well. This should be a warning to all persons to have as little to do with such fences as possible. Hundreds of valuable animals have been rendered useless by these structures, and not a few people have been injured by them. September 26, 1890

Brookwood Park Is Out BROOKWOOD/From A1
cept for absent Councilman John Schallert – former Brookwood caretaker Pat Thorpe declared, “I think people should be more alarmed.” Thorpe said the funding the Land Trust received when it absorbed the Cook Foundation in 2010 will be used up in two years: If it wants to sell 11 acres now, will it sell the other 11 acres after that? She also said several Land Trust board members were surprised to learn that even before the RFP (request for proposal) process was complete, 11 Brookwood acres had already been put on the market for $75,000. “My views on the Land Trust have completely changed through this whole process,” said Thorpe. “From that moment (the Trust assumed ownership) the only thing they intended was to use it for a cash cow for their other purposes, however worthy they may be.” While the Land Trust may include conservation easements in any sale, “all the protections in the world will not make up for not going down to the lake and viewing Kingfisher Tower from the 11 acres,” she said. For her part, Land Trust Executive Director Virginia Kennedy said her board supports the RFP initiative, adding, “All this time and energy is being done for the Land Trust to keep the land, and keep it open to the public. That’s the main goal; all stuff to the contrary is just not true.” After Thorpe spoke, Sandler said perhaps he “drank the Kool-Aid” in meetings Kennedy and Land Trust board chair Harry Levine had held with individual board members after a Sept. 9 Town Board vote to develop a park plan. But, he said, “If this is a stepping stone, I too will be sorely disappointed.” Attention now turns to Sept. 30. In discussion before the Otsego board, it was said that 30 proposals may have been received by now. They will not be opened until after the deadline, so all the particulars are unknown, but reports have ranged from realtors proposing condos – Levine and Kennedy deny that’s the case – to interest from the Biological Field Station, now housed in the basement of the Cooperstown Graduate Program. Levine has said the Land Trust has kept open the option of rejecting all the proposals. When the RFP process surfaced, Cooperstown resident Chip Northrup developed a plan for the Village of Cooperstown to acquire the property, using revenues from dock rentals, kayaks storage, weddings and renovating The Garden House for parties and meetings. The Village Board debated the plan at its Aug. 24 meeting, decided against it due to other priorities, but encouraged the Town of Otsego, which has no municipal park, to step forward. Sept. 9, Northrup had suggested the town buy all 22 acres, turn the north 11 into a nature preserve, and use revenues from the rest to break even. After the town board stepped back, Northrup appeared satisfied with the turn of events. “In discussing the prospect of turning Brookwood into a municipal park with the Town of Otsego, the Otsego Land Trust has convinced the Town Board of doing the next best thing: allowing the Land Trust itself to run Brookwood as a public park. Bravo,” he said. “That is a good solution. It spares the Town of the cost and management load, and it reaffirms the Land Trust’s obligation to fulfill Bob Cook’s intentions of keeping Brookwood open to the public.

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

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-

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.
