Eminent Fareed Zakaria Target Of ‘Trolling’ – Is Anyone Safe?
T
he power of Facebook to distort reality – or to magnify slights – hit home locally just before Christmas, when a young mother nursing her baby was asked to cover up a bit by a Fly Creek Cider Mill employee. The young mom complained on Facebook; the complaint went viral, with over 5,000 people chiming in over the next 16 hours. The cider mill, of course, isn’t anti-nursing. A “nursein” protest was planned and when a few nursing mothers showed up, co-owner Brenda Michaels – she nursed her own baby at the cider mill – diplomatically defused the situation. This past weekend, you may have seen the commentary by the mild-mannered host of “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on how he was “trolled” – “Facebooked,” let’s call it. Someone posted on what turned out to be a bogus-news site “reporting” that Zakaria, on his “private blog,” called for “jihad rape of white women.” “The post further claimed that, on my Twitter account,
I had written the following line: ‘Every death of a white person brings tears of joy to my eyes,’” Zakaria, who previously held key editorships at Foreign Affairs and Newsweek’s international edition, recounted in his current Washington Post column. The post went viral. “With each news cycle, the levels of hysteria rose, and people started demanding that I be fired, deported or killed,” Zakaria reported. His daughters, 7 and 12, were threatened by a caller to the commentator’s home. As with the cider mill dust-up, the Zakaria dustup took on a life of its own, regardless of the merits. A Jan. 8 posting, www. bloombergview.com, under the headline, “How Facebook Makes Us Dumber,” reported on a new study that finds, in addition of exposing people to fresh ideas and new information,social media creates “echo chambers,” where people find reinforcement for what they already believe, however faulty. •

Macris Had Vision, Stamina To Make Our Opera Reality To the Editor: Jim Kevlin’s front-page celebration of the life and achievements of Peter Macris deserves a permanent place in the memories of all of us who have loved our opera and are proud that Peter chose Cooperstown to be its Upstate home. Because of his talent for igniting the interest of many musicians and other influential leaders in the cultural life of our area, Macris was able to plant here the roots of the thrilling interwoven complex of music and drama called opera that has drawn audiences from many parts of the country and even from Europe. As quoted in Kevlin’s article, Mary Jo Merk commented, “Peter had a gift for finding and combining the right groups of people to get something accomplished.” I myself recall the critical meeting at a dinner party arranged at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Danielski for Peter to meet Tom Good-
For his part, Herzig hopes the review will better specify duties of the manager and the mayor to ensure a smooth collaboration to the maximum extent. That, of course, is a critical relationship.

All of that resonates locally because the challenges Oneonta has faced and faces in putting a city manager form of government into place. After two unsuccessful tenures, “the next city manager has to succeed,” Mayor Gary Herzig says emphatically. Herzig’s ad hoc Charter Revision Committee, chaired by former mayor John Nader, has built credibility in its three-month tenure, slowing down the process so the new Common Council, lacking the baggage of the old one, can make a more objective assessment of whatever the committee’s recommendations turn out to be.
the answer to do nothing. As Otsego County government’s surprise $9.5 million shortfall the other month underscored the need for professional managers in ever-more-complex local governments, someone who can plan ahead, keep track of variances and avoid surprises. At least that’s the idea. No $20 million private company would operate without an experienced president/CEO, nor should a $20 million municipality like the City of Oneonta. That, simply, is what professional municipal management is all about. Nothing sinister here. Social media may or may not be accurate or responsible, but it is powerful and strategies to repair its ravages are hit and miss. Oneonta’s third city manager will face challenges enough. Let’s do what we can to prevent an e-campaign from forestalling that success. The quandaries the cider mill and Zakaria experienced underscore the damage that might be done.

year, the man who gave the vital support for initiating the opera and later the land on which the present opera house stands. When I watched Peter’s eyes fasten onto those of Tom, I said to myself, “It’s a fait accompli,” for that was the power of Peter’s determination to achieve what he needed to realize his dream. Though there were many brilliant, artistically gifted, and generous people who were to shape Peter’s opera into what is nationally known as the Glimmerglass Festival, there was only one man with the vision and fearless stamina to have birthed it into existence. All of us residents of the Cooperstown-Oneonta area who were pulling with Peter to launch this enterprise realize the enormity of what he achieved – growing an idea from nothing to something that has achieved world artistic stature.

CNN’s Zakaria was “trolled.” Who’s next?
Position” online survey has been re-posted, a portent, perhaps, of campaigns to come. It underscores that the next city manager, regardless of talents and charter revisions, will probably not have a completely smooth ride. The mayor and Common Council need to think this through how, not to squelch debate, but to prevent distorted outcomes. Recently, the original Charter Revision Commission from 2009-10, which spent 18 months developing the current document, issued a series of recommendations to the new committee, foremost among them: Come up with a fulsome implementation plan, so Council members, department heads and city workers understand their roles and are nodding their heads as the third city manager arrives on the scene. That is all for the good. But could “Facebooking” erode such a sensible process. • There’s no easy answer to that question, but neither is

Gas Light – We learn by the late English papers, that Covent Garden Theatre, and a number of London streets, are now illuminated by Gas Lights. They are represented as being infinitely less noxious and lastly more economical that the common lamplight by oil. The gas burner is equal to 20 common street lamps, and the saving expense is very considerable. A shop may be lighted by gas, for only 2d per night – the largest room, and even a whole street, proportionately cheap. January 25, 1816

How safe is fluoridation? The people who live in such widely separated communities as Texarkana, Arkansas, Jacksonville, Florida and Aurora, Illinois, enjoy a standard of health generally on a par with Americans everywhere. But, they have one advantage. They have better teeth. The reason is that nature had fortuitously provided a desirable amount of fluorides in the drinking water. In the hundreds of communities where the phenomenon has occurred, residents have been studied for any signs that fluoridation might be harmful. The evidence attesting to the safety of the procedure is overwhelming. January 19, 1966

The Flood – The sudden rise of streams produced by the recent thaw has caused the destruction of considerable property in the neighborhood of Albany, Catskill, Kinderhook, and other places, although we have not as yet learned that any lives have been lost. By an Act of the Legislature of this State, passed January 11, 1841, and approved by the Governor, the east end of the Poor House is made the Common Jail of this county until another shall have been erected. If this jail is deemed insufficient for the effectual confinement of any prisoner, the Sheriff has power to deliver him over to the jail keeper of Montgomery County, where he is to be kept at the expense of this county.

Fishing for bass at certain seasons of the year, is interdicted by law – which we are requested to state will be put in force against those who violate it. Mr. Burditt has reported a bill, which will doubtless pass the Legislature, still further to regulate fishing for bass in Otsego Lake. The bass have been nearly driven from the lake, of late years, by a class of professional fishermen, who only look at present gain. A Hint – Persons sending to this office notices of donation parties, lectures, marriages &c. who “do not know whether or not there is anything to pay” may in all cases venture to enclose at least 50 cents.

You might say that Dr. Karen McShane, an obstetrician at Bassett Hospital, got a dose of her own medicine for the New Year. She and her husband, David Kent, had their first child, Brian, on January 1. Brian, who was born at 4:45 p.m. was the first baby born at Bassett in 1991. To welcome Bassett’s first New Year’s baby, seven local businesses and organizations had prepared a gift package, which Dr. McShane and her husband graciously accepted this week.

A-6 THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL
Oneonta Malt House Key Piece Of ‘Finger Lakes Of Beer’ Strategy MALT/From A1 for Ag & Markets. By 2018, the state Farm Brewery Act will required 60 percent of microbreweries’ raw materials to be grown in-state. At the Brewery Weekend, debate focused on whether there will be enough in-state barley, enough malt houses to process it, and enough brewers willing to pay perhaps three times the commodity price. In an interview at the closing reception in Hartwick’s Foreman Gallery, Fickbohm said Generations Malting plans to build its malt house in the City of Oneonta, and it alone would be bigger than all eight malt houses now in operating. “We’re a little bit ahead of the curve,” said Fickbohm. Over the past two years, Hager Hops, led by Lou Hager of Cooperstown, has been putting together many of the pieces: A 25acre hops farm, the state’s biggest, in Pierstown; a hops harvester at
Cooperstown Brewing, Milford, and a hops-drying operation at Northern Eagle Beverage, Oneonta. By 2017, Hager Hops should complete its new plant on Browne Street, West Oneonta, that will house Cooperstown Brewing, Northern Eagle Beverage distributing, and a retail beer and beer-related products outlet. If the hops picture is clear, the malted barley piece is still being worked through, as evident at the sold-out Farm Brewery Weekend, which drew 100 participants, 56 from New York State but participants from as far away as South America and South Africa At Sunday’s The New Beer Basket, a panel discussion to wrap-up the weekend: • Tim Oechsner, Ithaca, a grain farmer, discussed the difficulty of growing barley to spec, and emphasized “the farmers really need to make money on this” for them to produce a dependable supply of
If Generations Malting is built, that – in combination with the Hager initiatives – would lay the foundation for a microbrew mecca locally. But more is anticipated, given that City Hall and Otsego Now obtained another state economicdevelopment grant – $700,000 – to prepare a site at Market and Chestnut for the Upper Susquehanna Regional Ag Center. Oneonta Mayor Gary Herzig said Otsego Now will award a grant on Jan. 28 for a market survey on the ag center and the redevelopment of Market Street into a beer-themed neighborhood, perhaps with a boutique hotel, a hops-themed restaurant where Stella Luns is now, and Foothills as the entertainment component. The LA Group, Binghamton, is preparing a Main-Street-revival strategy to expand the downtown to include Market Street, and that fits
right in, Herzig said. Otsego Now has also contracted with Elan Planning, Saratoga Springs, to upgrade the city’s Comprehensive Master Plan, as it is doing in Cooperstown and Richfield Springs. That would open the door to further grants for the beer initiative, as well at the semi-related redevelopment of the D& H yards. A final piece is Hartwick College’s Center for Craft Food & Beverage, whose new director, Aaron MacLeod, organized the Farm Brewer Weekend, where local hops and barley can be tested for quality. The center’s official ribbon-cutting is this Friday, Jan. 22. “There’s real potential for us here in the craft beer movement,” the mayor said. “There are a lot of pieces out there, and we’re trying to weave them together. Hopefully, they will come together to create a product that will really transform Oneonta’s economy.”
Hoped-For Text: ‘I Need To Get Into That Program Now!’
At Day Of Reconnecting SPEECH/From A4 Trooper Jay Cook, introduced for capturing one of the dangerous escapees from Dannemora), and others who are recognized during the speech. Governor Cuomo is a good orator, strong, clear, wellspoken, and with anecdotes woven in to substantiate the initiatives he proposes. Because the speech combines the State of the State with the required budget proposal, the accompanying PowerPoint is full of graphs depicting the data underlying the proposals. From education to public safety, recreation to energy, the Governor rolls out his 2016 plan while he is repeatedly interrupted with applause. A few points struck me during the speech. One slide showed a map of the 10 cities with the highest poverty rates – Oneonta was on that map. There are several reasons we’re earned that spot including our census pool that includes college students (who have low incomes), and our high proportion of low wage jobs. But seeing “Oneonta” on that map put a pit in my stomach; obviously our work to improve Oneonta’s standard of living continues. The Governor also talked poignantly about the last days of his father, Governor Mario Cuomo, who died last Jan. 1 while his son was giving his Inauguration speech in Buffalo. Governor [Andrew] Cuomo noted that he had the luxury to take time to be with his father in those last days without worrying that the time off of work would cost him his job; but that many people don’t have that luxury to take time to care for an ill family member. His experience was the basis for his proposal for broad-based Family Medical Leave –12 weeks of paid leave to new mothers, and others who need time off to care for family. Finally, the Governor noted the experience of his girlfriend, Sandra Lee, who last year successfully faced the challenge of breast cancer, an experience similar to my own. Her fight inspired the Governor’s proposal for increased funding for early detection and treatment programs for women across the state. The hall emptied quickly at the end of the speech as attendees moved off to the
quality grain. • Phil Leinhart, the Ommegang brewmaster, said that with barley, as with hops, “The key to the brewers is quality.” He added, “there’s going to be a premium for local ingredients.” • Brent Manning of Riverbend Malt House, Asheville, N.C., anticipates the demand for the barley will be there, because of the demand for microbreweries’ beer. “The customers have said they are will to pay for it,” he said. “That piece is there.” • Sam Filler, who leads Governor Cuomo’s Craft Beverage Initiative for the Empire State Development Corp., said, if the 60 percent mark can’t be met, it might be waived temporarily. Meanwhile, two entities – Cornell’s Harvest NY initiative and the Carey Institute for Global Good in Rensselaerville are developing market data so farmers can grow, malting houses can be built, and breweries with some assurance.
myriad receptions that follow. Hannah and I stopped in at Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s then headed home. As the Legislature rolls into session and embraces or rejects the proposals presented, I believe we should feel good about the state in which we live. No doubt that we have challenges, but we also have many opportunities for success. I look forward to the work we do as engaged citizens to partner with the state and take advantage of initiatives that can benefit Oneonta and Otsego County, making our community a better place for all to live and work.

Harris: Wall Of Memories From Hall Will Be Sent To Bowie’s Family the special exhibit of Herb Ritz photography, which closes at the end of February. And in the last week, Harris has been digging into his own Bowie collections. “When I got the news, the first song I played was ‘A Song for Dylan’,” he said. “But then I put on ‘TVC15,’ this rollicking, New Orleans-style piece with roots and soul music, and both
those songs reminded me of people I knew when I was developing those tastes, people I hadn’t thought of in years.” He continued, “Listening to those albums again, you remember where you were, how you still know every lyric. That’s how much we were listening to those albums. We let them play. We didn’t just swipe to the next song.”

arie Lusins knows the power of books. “Whenever my grandson comes to visit me, we read ‘Ferdinand’ together,” she said. “It’s my favorite kids’ book too.”
But she also knows that some children don’t have the abundant access to books that she grew up with and shares with her family. While reading Parade magazine, she saw an article about Jim Davidson of Conway, Ark., who started the “Bookcase For Every Child” project, designed to combat the illiteracy he saw as a root cause of crime and poverty. “There are 42 million adults in this
country who can’t read at a fifth-grade level,” said Davidson. “61 percent of low-income families don’t have books for children in their home, and an illiterate child doesn’t stand a prayer. They become the kids you read about in the newspapers or see on the news, committing all kinds of crimes.” Since 2002, Davidson, a nationally synPlease See BOOKCASES, B3

Actor Dillon Dreamed Of Being ‘Elephant Man’ By LIBBY CUDMORE ONEONTA
A
day home playing hooky changed Steve Dillon’s life. “I thought ‘The Elephant Man’ was a horror film, with the ominous poster of a man in a hood, and my parents wouldn’t let me see it in the theater,” he said. “But in 1982, it was on HBO at my grandmother’s house, so I faked sick and stayed home from Sunday mass to watch it.” Even at age 11, he was so moved by David Lynch’s film that the images stayed with him. “Much to my surprise, it wasn’t a horror movie like I exIF YOU GO: pected,” “Elephant he said. Man,” 8 p.m. “The Saturday, horror Sunday, Jan. wasn’t 29-30; 3 p.m. in the Sunday, Jan. char31, Foothills Performing Arts acter, Center. Tickets it was at 434-6606 or how at foothillspac. people com treated him.” That led to a life-long dream to perform as John Merrick, and Friday-Sunday, Jan 29-31, he will, in Bernard Pomerance’s “The Elephant Man” at the Foothills Performing Arts Center. In high school, Dillon continued to be fascinated with Merrick, reading up on his real-life story, and in college, he saw the play performed when he was taking theater classes in Albany. “The play asks audiences to take a leap of faith,” he said. “The actor playing Merrick doesn’t wear prosthetics, he simply portrays the afflictions.” Originally, he had hoped to the do the play with the Oneonta Theatre State Players, a troupe he and Patrick Lippincott formed at the Oneonta Theatre. But the company closed down, and Dillon put it out of his mind, performing with other theater companies in “A Christmas Carol” “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” and “Dial M For Murder.” But in January 2014, he saw the Broadway revival of “The Elephant Man,” with Bradley Cooper as Merrick. “It reignited that passion,” he said. “On the train ride home, I was already casting it with people I loved working with.” Though he had originally planned to produce and direct, the role of Merrick continued to call to him, and he asked Darcy Gibson, the musical director for the Oneonta Theatre Stage Players, to direct so that he could play Merrick. Gibson also plays Fredrick Treves, the surgeon who saves Merrick and puts him up at the London Hospital. But the role is a physically demanding one, asking the actor to contort his body for two hours to
3 Decades Later, Dream Coming True portray Merrick’s afflictions. “I lost weight and began stretching,” said Dillon. “I walked around the house like the Elephant Man, talking to my kids in the voice.” He started a production company, A Bigger Boat, to put on the play, named
for his other favorite film, “Jaws.” “When you’re producing a show, you always need a bigger boat,” he said. “But it’s been very organic, the actors are finding their characters and it’s almost exactly as I’ve pictured it.” And though he had
originally only planned to do “The Elephant Man,” he hopes the show will be enough of a success to put on other plays. “I’d love to do ‘God of Carnage’ or ‘Don’t Drink The Water’,” he said. “Or maybe I’ll do ‘The Elephant Man’ as a radio drama!”

With Bookcases, Books, Tenfold Plus, OJC Open Windows On World For Youngsters BOOKCASES/From B1 dicated newspaper columnist, writing from the perspective of a Christian businessman, has given away 50 personalized bookcases a year to Head Start children, and expanded the program into six states. Lusins contacted Davidson after she read the article, and he sent her the plans for the book cases Lusins his group makes. “I had just joined Tenfold Plus, so I brought the idea to them,” she said. “They were thrilled.” Tenfold Plus, the women’s community service organization, selected Head Start students as the recipients, 90 in all, to be presented with a bookcase filled with books and marked with an etched plaque of their name. “This will be theirs forever,” said Ian Austin/ OTSEGO.seniority Lusins. “This is the biggest OJC masonry students – from left, Shannon Egnor, Maniel Moreno, Kenny Lubin and Raymond Scott project we’ve ever done.” – surround their instructor Mike McSain. Members of the group contributed funds and start- ing. “Marie’s energy is “I told them, ‘Sometimes ed a GoFundMe page, and contagious,” said Kuhn. “I you take from a commua private donor matched thought Job Corps could do nity, other times you give the funds raised.

when you know a lot of kids don’t have books.” By the end of last week, the students had made 10 bookcases and found they can turn them out at a rate of 4-6 a day. And now, Tenfold Plus is seeking books the fill the shelves. “Fox Hospital donated a big box, but we need ones for preschool up to kindergarten.” Books can be dropped off at Five Star Subaru to Tenfold Plus member Jessica Guenther. The bookcases will be presented to the children in April at a ceremony at the Oneonta Municipal Airport, where the OJC students recently completed a major renovation. Lusins and Tenfold Plus plan to present the project at the Rotary Conference in hopes of spreading the word of the project and inspiring other counties. “We want people to take this into their small towns,” she said. “PTOs, Boy Scouts, it doesn’t matter who does it. It just has to be caring adults.” “A bookcase like this says to a child, ‘You’re important. The community cares about you’,” said Davidson. “Reading the beginning of life-long learning for our children,” said Lusins. “Having their parents read to them, having access to books, is so important. When you stop reading, you stop growing.”
Office On Aging Honors People Who Help People AWARDS/From B1 The Manor, and the problem was solved. “Sometimes people just need someone to talk to,” said her husband, Elliot, also an ombudsman. Pat and Elliot were among those honored last May at the Otsego County Office of the Aging volunteer luncheon at The Otesaga, receiving the award for Recognition of Outstanding Contribution. “Recognizing senior citizens has been part of our Celebration of Older Americans month for years,” said Frances Wright, Otsego County Office for the Aging director. “Hopefully, in that recognition, it helps people recognize the volunteer work of others.” This year, Wright has extended the deadline for nominations to Monday, Feb. 1. To obtain nomination forms, call the Cooperstown office at 5474232 or the Oneonta office at 432-9041. “We look for people who have been involved and committed to helping others,” she said. “You can pick up an application at the Office for the Aging or you can send me a letter. The more details about the person, the better.” People like Norma Ralph, Worcester, who gives rides to the elderly in her town – to the hairdresser down the street or to Albany for dental work. “Anybody who needs a ride, I give them one for free,” she said. “I guess one of the ladies

who I take around decided I needed this award.” Last year, Ralph took home the Senior Citizen of the Year award. The award was started by the state Senate and Assembly, then was taken over by the state Office for the Aging. “It evolved into locally selecting people,” said Wright. “We usually send two nominees to the state awards as well.” In 2015, Ralph, along with Sheila Serbay, the retired SUNY Oneonta professor who founded the Food vs Fuel program designed to give senior citizens three months of nourishing food during the winter, won recognition from the state Office for the Aging. Locally, Serbay also took the award as a Civic Engagement Ambassador, as did Tenfold Plus, a women’s service group founded by Betty Bettiol, Jeanne Scarzafava, the late Carol Blazina and others in January 2014. “Sometimes we pick two people, other times we pick four,” said Wright. “It all depends on how difficult the judging is!”

THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL B-7
THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2016
Some Tension Among Democrats Over Zephyr Teachout Candidacy SPLIT/From A1 “Now it’s up to the county committees to decide,” said the chairman. “Any committee person who would like to support someone else, that’s fine. We felt, at this time, so late in the game, it would be better to unite.” The primary is Tuesday, April 19, when both parties’ presidential candidates will also appear on the ballot. Over the weekend, however, county Rep. Andrew Stammel,
D-Town of Oneonta, raised questions about Teachout’s suitability. Monday, Jan. 18, he said he questions whether Democrats should support another Congressional candidate’s who’s “just moved to the district.” In 2014, Congressman Gibson was opposed by Sean Eldridge, spouse of Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes. The couple had moved to Shokan, Ulster County, so Eldridge
could run for Congress. Teachout, according to reports, rented a home last year in Dover Plains, Dutchess County, also in the 19th District. Stammel said he’s interested in Will Yandic, who serves on the town board in Livingston, Ulster County. “I just started hearing a lot of these names last week,” he said. “I heard
about Yandic, looked into his information and am really impressed by what I see. He’s a local farmer. He’s worked in local government. He understands the issues on the ground.” In addition to Teachout and Yandic, Julian Schreibman, a lawyer from Ulster County who challenged Gibson in
2012, and Margo Miller, a Hillary Clinton fundraiser, who has been living in England but it moving back to the district, are also contenders, Abbate said. On the Republican side, attorney John Faso, the gubernatorial candidate against Eliott Spitzer in 2006, and Andrew Heaney, a fuel-oil company owner from Dutchess County,
are seeking the nominatoin. Abbate is convening the whole county committee on Wednesday, Feb. 10, to decide on the county’s endorsement. He expects Teachout will attend, but the other three are invited as well. A call to county GOP chair Vince Casale wasn’t returned.
So Far, More Paid Parking Panned PARKING/From A1 their business and whether extending the paid-parking season will help or hurt their businesses. With 20 surveys in, the results are overwhelmingly against expansion. “People understand that paid parking is here to stay and they’ve adjusted how they do business,” Hazzard said. “But to extend it another five weeks, they’d have to adjust again, and they’re not looking to do that.” But a few are in favor, citing the recent improvements to streets as a benefit. “We’re happy with the idea that the revenue has helped with our roads,” said Hazzard. “The money has to come from somewhere, but people are feeling that there’s a point where it needs to stop coming out of the pockets of small business owners. “It’s a question of how much the village wants to get, and how’s they’re going to bring in that revenue.” Mayor Jeff Katz said the discussion stemmed from the board wanting to “sync” the seasons. “The Doubleday parking lot was paid parking Memorial Day through Columbus Day, but the rest of
the town was through Labor Day,” he said. “You still see a lot of out-of-state plates lining Main Street up until then, and we could use that additional revenue.” But for those who leave town for the summer, the board is considering creating a prorated permit from Labor Day to Columbus Day. Additionally, the village is making “small changes” to make getting a permit easier, including accepting credit cards and possible online applications. “We want to make sure the legal language reflects these changes,” said Katz. “You used to have to bring your license and registration, but we’re making it so you only have to bring your license.” A public meeting on changing the law is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25. “Businesses don’t want it to impact them on a daily basis,” said Hazzard. “When a decision like this is made, it can affect a business owner’s livelihood.” “It’s not about the chamber taking a stance,” said Hanna Bergene, chamber executive assistant. “It’s about relaying what our members are saying.”
