about 1926 to 1940, cover-ing Bartow Bresee’s years at OHS and the Oneonta Normal School as well as her travels and other leisure activities after her 1931 graduation from college.

She taught on Long Island and returned home to marry Wilmer Bresee, chairman of the board of Bresee’s De-partment Store. She was a community benefactor and a SUNY Oneonta Foundation charter board member.

“It’s interesting looking at these scrapbooks, seeing Oneonta through Esther’s eyes and then walking outside and seeing it again through mine,” said Newton.

INTERNSHIP: Alissa N. Garufi of Oneonta took part in an off-cam-pus internship this spring through SUNY Oswego’s Experience-Based Education program. A sophomore ma-joring in history, she interned with Safe Haven Museum and Education Center in Oswego.

JILL’S TELLINGTALES

‘Beer town. Baseball town. Art town,” artist Megan Irving, a refugee

from Gotham’s prohibitive rents, posited.

“What if Cooperstown became more of a draw for artists from the city?” she asked at the March 14 forum to discuss possible collabo-rations between the Cooperstown Art Association and, two blocks away, the Smithy Center for the Arts.

Another escapee from New York, potter Roy Kortick, picked up the theme at the second forum the following Friday, reporting how Beacon, Hudson and North Adams, Mass., have been revived by the arts.

Go visit, he urged, “and see what a vibrant art scene is doing for those communities.”

•Art we got.Not just in Cooperstown,

but in Oneonta, and hither and thither throughout Otsego County. (Honey and Bernie Kassoy of Garrattsville come to mind, who for years invited artist friends to join them each Fourth of July to confect whimsies from accumulat-ed lagan and derelict.) All that’s needed is a little coordination and promotion.

Oneonta Mayor Dick Miller was an early adherent, convening an Arts Summit in January 2011 at

Foothills Performing Arts Center. The Arts Alliance that came out of it did result in the refocusing of the UCCCA as CANO, which is now about to renovate its Wilber Mansion home.

One arts weekend, with Foot-hills and the Oneonta Theater col-laborating to draw art tourists to downtown restaurants and shops, did happen. But artists are an independent breed, tough to herd.

•Baseball county. Beer county.

Nanotechnology county. Artisanal food county. Higher Education county. Opera county. Museum county. Art county is another track to pursue as we limp out of the national economic downturn.

Think about Cooperstown retail: Jeff Foster, Vinnie Russo and other baseball entrepreneurs will tell you those days of selling

dozens of autographed Mickey Mantle baseballs on a weekend are gone. Now, memorabilia are no farther away than your computer screen.

With the baseball youth camps replacing the Hall of Fame as the summertime draw, it’s probably just a matter of time until someone builds a lower-rent baseball strip mall in Hartwick Seminary and a great sucking sound is heard on Main Street.

But that’s good. Who hasn’t wished for a more varied retail mix in Cooperstown’s downtown? Rents will drop, perhaps to the point a commercial gallery, or two, or three, with artists’ studios upstairs, will be possible.

Likewise, downtown Oneonta’s vacant upstairs, with big windows and bright interiors, would be ideal.

•As it happens, Cooperstown

Mayor Jeff Katz, hearing former Burlington, Vt., planner Bruce Siefer, in his “Sustainable Devel-opment” talk at the county court-house in January, describe how a chance meeting between that city’s mayor and a cyber entrepreneur at the huge fall Arts Hop resulted in cars.com becoming one of the Queen City’s major employers, was inspired.

Since, he called a meeting at Village Hall, and arts entrepre-

neur Sydney Wall, Sustainable Otsego’s Adrian Kuzminski, graphic artist Jim Herman and art-ist Robert Seward emerged as the Cooperstown Arts Council.

The CAA-SCA combination is another potential vehicle for the Irving-Kortick vision. And Mayor Miller’s Arts Alliance is simmer-ing, simmering, waiting to be brought to a boil.

Otsego County, Arts Magnet, might be just the thing – or a thing – for the new privatized “heads-in-beds” tourism effort to get be-hind. Sandy Mathes, the county’s “single point of contact” economic developer, undoubtedly could provide helpful contacts.

•Where to start? The

Cooperstown council, with help from a collaborating CAA-SCA, could keep the Brush & Palette’s threatened Labor Day art show alive, bringing it back downtown. Oneonta’s Arts Alliance might do the same in adding energy to the City of the Hills Art Festival, planned Sept. 13 this year.

With all the ferment, it seems inevitable that the arts will align. People would welcome a chance to visit New York State’s Cooperstown Arts Region, or dip into the Glimmerglass Arts Expe-rience, or whatever.

Let’s visualize it, plan it, then create it.

HOMETOWN ONEONTAArtist Megan Irving proposes enabling a Cooperstown arts community at the Feb. 14 forum on possible collabo-ration of the Cooperstown Art Association and Smithy Pioneer Gallery. Roy Kortick, behind her, repeated the call the following week. The two are flanked by two members of the new Cooperstown Arts Council, Robert Seward and Sydney Waller.

We Have Raw Material. Otsego County Could Be Arts Hub

As millions of New Yorkers prepare to file

their taxes today, it is a stark reminder of our notorious status as the highest taxed state in the nation. New Yorkers pay nearly 40 percent more than what people pay on average in the country. Governor Cuomo’s oppressive taxes are taking a real toll on our shrinking middle class, which is leaving New York for better opportunities elsewhere.

Andrew Cuomo once promised us the bold reforms that would reverse the direction of this state, but all we’ve seen is political maneuvering and gimmicks designed to boost his own power and poll numbers. The result of that is nothing has changed: New York

is alone at the peak of the tax moun-tain, while 49 other states pay less and have better business climates. Today’s deadline is further realization that as a state, we are losing.

Tax Day statement from Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, who is seeking GOP nomination for governor

•

At its root, much of the animos-ity lies in some

Democrats’ suspicion that Cuomo is not really one of them ... On eco-nomics, he’s embraced tax cuts and is skeptical of labor unions.

“At a time when the national Democratic Party seems to be moving in the direction of [focusing on] income inequality and fair taxa-

tion, Governor Cuomo is moving in the opposite direction,” (former Demo-crat state Sen. Richard) Brodsky says.

Against this backdrop, there was bound to be conflict between Cuomo and New York City’s new mayor, who struck an emphatically populist tone in his campaign. Days after Bill de Blasio’s inauguration, an education-policy battle erupted that typifies the opposing wings of the party the two men represent.

De Blasio wanted to fund a univer-sal prekindergarten program with tax increases on the wealthy and to rein in some of the city’s charter schools; Cuomo vociferously opposes tax hikes and is a staunch defender of alternative public education.

Excerpt from “Why New York Demo-crats Have Turned Against Andrew Cuomo,” in Atlantic, April edition

JAMES McCUEHISTORIC PERSPECTIVES

Jim McCue’s book cover bears a photo of Jedediah Peck’s grave-stone, visible from Route 80, Town of Bur-lington

Editor’s Note: James Mc-Cue of Oneonta has recently published, “The Legend of the Plough-Jogger,” a novel about Jedediah Peck, a Democratic foe of Federal-ist William Cooper in the county’s early days. McCue provided this rumination on the Town of Burlington farmer who is also con-sidered father of New York State’s public schools.

Who was Jede-diah Peck, alias “Plough-Jogger?”

Well today, very few peo-ple in Otsego County would know who the Plough-Jog-ger was. Nevertheless, back in 1799, Jedediah Peck was a very popular and influential man in Otsego County. Perhaps he became too influential amongst the common populace, which in turn, made some serious political enemies amongst the Federalist gentry.

While Otsego and the State of New York were firmly a Federalist political stronghold, Jedediah Peck traveled the countryside sharing with whomever

would listen to his radical Democratic-Republican-ism. Wherever he traveled, his saddlebags were always stuffed with political litera-ture, which become one of his trademarks.

Despite having had no formal education, Judge Peck often wrote very com-pelling and witty political letters that were printed in the Otsego Herald, always

signing with his alias, Plough-Jogger. Many of his letters found fault with his own party’s policies and conversely, he wrote favor-able opinions for the Repub-lican views. This did not sit well with William Cooper, Jacob Morris and Thomas Clarke, all Federalists.

What truly made the Plough-Jogger so popular was his workingman’s hero persona. He was an outspo-ken advocate for the rights of the common man, while vehemently denouncing the aristocracy’s stranglehold on political power.

The political wars in Otsego came to a climax in September of 1799, when a warrant was issued for the arrest of Judge Peck. He was accused of passing out seditious petitions, aimed at repealing the Alien and Sedition Acts. As the story goes, the Plough-Jogger was taken from his home in the

middle of the night, hand-cuffed in irons and carted off to Albany and then, onto New York City to stand trial in Federal Court. Jabez Hammond, a historian from Cherry Valley wrote:

“…A hundred missionar-ies in the cause of democ-racy, stationed between New York and Cooperstown, could not have done so much for the republican cause as this journey of Judge Peck, as a prisoner, from Otsego to the capital of the state…”

... The whole case against Judge Peck fell apart when the District Attorney could not produce witnesses. The arrest of Jedediah Peck, a Revolutionary hero, turned the political tide in Otsego.

By the 1800 elections held in April, the Plough-Jogger had single-hand-edly turned Otsego County from being a Federalist stronghold into becoming a Republican majority! That would be like Jim Seward converting Otsego into a Democratic stronghold. In-deed, that would be another good story.

125 YEarS aGOThe Local News: Tuesday was moving day at the Oneonta

Union School, and though many boys and girls, on pass-ing to new grades and advanced studies regretted separation from the care and instruction of teachers for whom they have formed attachments, yet there was much elation, and new ambitions were awakened. One little fellow, in speaking of the future, mapped out his entire course of study in his pres-ent school, and finished with the declaration that he would “then go to an agricultural college.” His mother having in view a possible financial obstacle at about that time, asked, “But how are you going to get there Davie?” and the child, with the utmost confidence answered: “Why, I shall go on the cars.” The hostler ran Engine 150 into the “pit” at the round house Tuesday evening. It took a gang of men nearly all night to get her out and it will take a lot of money to repair her.

100 YEarS aGOThe last specimens of the large number purchased by

Willard Yager in his recent trip among the Indians of the south and west have arrived. They include from 60 to 70 baskets, about 100 excellent works of pottery, and a large number of miscellaneous articles. This makes Mr. Yager’s collection not only the finest collection of archaeological remains from this location anywhere and one of the best collections from any district, but the equal of any practical working collection in the country. Of the 100 specimens of pottery, 70 are from the cliffs and mesas and hence be-longed to prehistoric peoples. among the general articles there is a rare old apache bow and quiver which had been in an old Spanish family in Santa Fe for about 75 years. There are in the collection two of the rare Pomo burden baskets and one of the magnificent feather baskets of the same people. This last deserves more extended description. Feathers of various birds and in their natural bright colors are woven in the basketry in beautiful and intricate designs. The effect beggars description.

60 YEarS aGOPostmaster General Summerfield today announced plans

for a more colorful mail service. He said the department is starting a program to gradually convert the familiar olive drab mail truck to a flashy red, white and blue. The depart-ment has already experimented with these colors for trucks in Miami, Boston and New York. Summefield said the tests showed that the bright colors are easier to keep clean. Eventually, street mail collection boxes will also be painted a matching red, white and blue.robert Ellsworth Gardner, known to many as “Profes-

sor Bob,” has passed from the scene at the age of 70, but he will not soon be forgotten. For 16 years he was the able leader of the Oneonta High School Band. Under his

guidance, music gained prominence as an extra-curricular activity at the school. To Bob Gardner, an interest in music was essential to any man – and he did not hesitate to say so. But, Bob Gardner was not only a musician – he was also a man who worked through many channels as a force for good in the community.

to obtain at least 2,000 signatures this week on a petition urging campaign finance reform in 1974. The local drive is part of a nationwide effort to bring pressure on Congress to enact campaign spending legislation. The Oneonta petition drive will run from Wednesday, April 17 through Saturday, april 20. League members will circulate petitions through-out the city and town. Booths will be set up in Hartwick College’s Bresee Hall and Oneonta State’s Hunt College Union. Booths will also be opened at several downtown

30 YEarS aGOPresident reagan has approved a series of measures,

including pre-emptive strikes and reprisals designed to get the upper hand on terrorism worldwide, administration officials revealed. One of the key elements of the policy is an effort to switch from defensive action to offensive, partly by increasing the ability of U.S. operatives to gather intelligence in order to stop terrorist activities before they occur. While the U.S. government has been increasingly concerned with terrorism for several years, new impetus to deal with it occurred when 241 U.S. servicemen died in the truck bombing of a U.S. Marine headquarters bombing in Beirut, Lebanon, last October 23. A n anonymous White House official said Reagan did not scrap an existing prohi-bition against assassination attempts by U.S. government agents.” The general idea is that we don’t allow terrorism to go unpunished,” the source said.

West is co-authoring a new book with Michael Learner titled “Blacks and Jews: Conflicts and Coalescence.

On April 29th, 2014 at 4:00 pm, the Oneonta Family YMCA will hold its

Annual Member Meeting. Members are invited to vote for new Board

Members at the meeting or to provide a signed proxy statement allowing John Hayen &

Mark Degraw to cast the vote in the member’s absence.

ROADS/From A1based state Department of Transportation’s Region 9, which includes Otsego County.

Two of the main projects the DOT is planning locally this summer have already begun on I-88:

The largest will be a bridge deck repair between Exits 16 and 17, halfway between Col-liersville and the Lettis High-way exits. You’ll see a concrete barrier there, reducing the two 12-foot travel lanes to one 11-foot lane and narrowing the 10-foot shoulder to 6 feet.

“They’re placing a thin over-lay treatment to improve the riding surface of six bridges,” said Hamburg. “It should be completed by the end of the year.”

Further on down the road between Exits 12 and 13 (the Otego and Route 205 exits) will be proactive repairs to a deteriorating bridge joint.Weather permitting, the repairs are scheduled to be finished by Friday, April 18.

And anyone who’s been on the roads recognizes the damage left by the long, brutal winter. “Potholes don’t discriminate in one area or another,” said Hamburg. “The temperature changes, going from freezing to thawing out, coupled with the precipitation has caused more potholes than we’ve seen in years.”

Road crews are in the Town of Maryland moving from pothole to pothole, filling them with “hot mix,” a long-lasting asphalt. “You’ll be seeing a lot of that throughout the county,” said Hamburg.

Most of the work will be done in daylight.

Though state troopers will spend time in work zones to protect both workers and motorists, Hamburg encour-ages drivers to slow down and “expect the unexpected.”

SEARCH/From A1niewicz, a member of the original Charter Commission, to chair the commission as it conducts the review. Two members of the original com-mission who now serve as Council members, former com-mission chair David Rissberger and Larry Malone, will remain on the commission during the review.

Council also agreed with the mayor’s recommendation that the council’s Human Resources Committee, chaired by Coun-cil member Russ Southard, conduct the search with HR Director Kathy Wolverton and Miller himself “supplying staff support.”

None of the Council mem-bers expressed reservations about the existence of the city manager’s position, which was established by a charter revision approved by voters in 2011. A previous attempt to do so – in the 1970s – failed.

The sequence of events be-gan Thursday, March 27, when the mayor announced City Manager Mike Long would retire in the spring or summer. That was part of a report, quot-ing sources, that Long was in

danger of losing the confidence of the Common Council.

Council members expressed surprise, until Miller an-nounced an agreement with Long that prohibited anyone from discussing the matter pub-licly. While Miller’s presenta-tion Tuesday evening dealt with what should happen next, there was little further clarifica-tion on what had happened to bring the city to this point.

In his memo, entitled “Thirty-Month Review,” Miller identified three areas for adjust-ment : the budgeting schedule; the establishment of an acting or deputy mayor; and changing the name of the Department of Recreation to the Department of Parks. It was unclear why those points mattered.

The page-by-page review should focus on “the interac-tions of the city manager, the mayor and the council,” it continued, with no explication of why.

“We can adjust many of the things that we do, if we choose to do that, not only committee structure, but also issues re-lated to the authority of the city manager to approve expendi-tures, both capital and operat-

ing,” the mayor added. “The limits on that are quite low.”

Rissberger said he, too, had some ideas for improvements, though he did not elaborate on them during the meeting. “I can see the inner workings a little bit more now,” said Riss-berger, who was not a Council member at the time of the earlier charter revision.

“So I think it’s good to review the charter, review the government process and how that’s reflected in the charter,” he added.

In a second memo, “Search Process,”

Miller suggested that the committee, at its first meet-ing, consider hiring a regional hiring consultant, rather than conduct a nationwide search, as was done when Long was hired two years ago. Candidates from the Northeast would be the most appropriate for the posi-tion and a regional consultant would cost less, he said.

MUSCLES/From A1little thing,” he said of a statewide power-lift-ing competition he has christened “Powerball”.“Over 100 people have already signed up.”

The event, planned for Saturday, June 7, is the first time Oneonta will be home such a statewide competition, Kunth said.

“We’ve been trying to host a competition for a while now, but they always hold it someplace bigger,” he said. “But we got it, and we’ve got people coming from as far away as Manhattan and Buffalo.”

Power-lifting involves three attempts to lift: the bench press; the squat, where lifters have to bend at the knee and rise back up while holding the barbell, and the dead lift, where the barbell must be lifted to hip level and lowered back to the ground.

Knuth, a 30-year veteran of the sport, holds the state masters – over 50 – record for the last

three years, including lifting 345 pounds at a meet in Buffalo in February.

Jim Phraner, co-owner of the gym at 101 Main St., holds the world record for 766 pounds on the bench press. Billy Reisen, another co-owner, is just back from winning the NPC bodybuilding championship.

But it’s not just for strongmen – there are cat-egories for women and teens as well. “We’ve got kids from 13-17 signed up,” said Knuth. “The best part is introducing them to the sport. And some of these women could lift more than me!”

But even for those who won’t be at “Pow-erball” to bench, there’s plenty to see. Local nutritionists and personal trailers will be on hand to give demonstrations and talks. GNC, Green Earth and MusclePharm, which provides Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilding supplements, will also have tables and samples.

NANO/From A1NanoDays were created in 2007 as an outreach program by the National Science Foun-dation, encouraging museums and science centers to invite the public in to foster aware-ness and engagement of “what we can’t see” – nanosciences.

When SUNY joined the Sci-ence Discovery Center in 2009, it partnered with OWL as part of its outreach. “We used to go to schools, but with Nano-Days, it allows the students to volunteer and relate what

they’ve learned in their classes, but it also allows them to play with science without having to do a bunch of equations afterwards.”

It’s important for students of all ages, Gallagher said, especially as Upstate New York moves to become a hub of nanoscience activity, with $1 billion in construction now underway at SUNY/IT, north of Utica, expecting to create 20,000 jobs in a decade.

While the theme was nanotechnology, many of the

exercises were aimed at getting the kids thinking.

For instance, Gallagher led a “You Decide” activity, which challenges kids to pick four cards – a water filter, a new computer or body armor, for example – and rank them in or-der of importance for different characters. “A salmon fisher in China will have different needs than a soldier in a war zone,” Gallagher explained.“It’s about assessing how the technology can be used.”
