REMBRANDT/From B1 appeal to families,” she said. “So many kids these days are into the Percy Jackson books, so they can look at the ‘Gods and Goddesses’ section and see the mythology. It’s a hook, and then they look more carefully and see stories in all the pieces.” The exhibit, which features 70 artworks from the 17th and 18th century, also includes Rembrandt’s “Portrait of a 40 Year Old Woman,” a first for the museum. “The way he handles skin, the detail of her collar, her flesh is so beautifully depicted,” she said. “His attention to detail is outstanding.” D’Ambrosio, wife of NYSHA President Paul D’Ambrosio, is a 1989 graduate of the Cooperstown Graduate Program. She

joined the Munson as curator of decorative arts immediately after graduating. In 2007, she was promoted to assistant director and, in 2009, to director. “I’ve really seen this institution change, grow and deepen our impact on the community,” she said. This exhibit is especially important for D’Ambrosio. On loan from the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Ky., now under renovation, the paintings on loan are unlike anything in the Munson’s permanent collection. “It’s material our audience wouldn’t see otherwise,” she said. “Not everyone can go to New York City to see something like this.” Many of the paintings are in their original frames, she said, and even those that aren’t are in antique frames. D’Ambrosio’s specialty is American furniture and metals, so she has a special affinity for the “Home and Hearth” section of the exhibit, in a room incensed with sweet hay from the scent boxes. “Martin Drolling’s ‘Interior of a Kitchen’ is my favorite,” she said. “It’s so finely detailed, a glance of domesticity – the mussel shells on the floor, the flax wheel on the high shelf, the cracked tiles. It tells a great story.” She was even able to bring her knowledge of antique furniture to the paintings themselves. “In Jean-Jacques Francoise LeBarbier’s ‘Helen & Paris’ you see a Klismos chair, which is an ancient deco-Roman furniture form,” she said. “But it was also popular in France when this piece was painted.” But whether you’re admiring the special exhibit or pondering the Munson’s Jackson Pollock, D’Ambrosio encourages patrons to take time to explore all the galleries have to offer. “It’s so important to have an authentic experience with the art, to spend time looking at the scenes, engaging with the material,” she said. “It’s a privilege for all of us.”

HAPPENIN’ OTSEGO

At 10, Arc’s VOICE! Still Going Strong VOICE!/From B1 When the festival became a wild success, attention was diverted from that mission, i.e., “to provide support, to assist individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities, to fulfill their dreams and ambitions.” “We asked our group advisers how we could connect the two,” Sessions said. “Someone suggested we do a juried art exhibit.” And thus, Voice! was born. “When we said we’d have a juried show, we mean that we’d put it in an actual gallery – framed, matted, displayed and respected.” Artists from across the county, including Charlie Bremmer of Otego and Oneontans Phil Youngs and Karen Elting, have judged the show over its 10-year run. The first Voice! opened in 2004 at the Wilber Mansion – then home of UCCCA, predecessor of today’s CANO (the Community Arts Network of Oneonta) – the night before City of the Hills. It included 36 works by 28 artists from across the state. “We’ve had artists from as far away as Buffalo, Jamestown and Long Island,” Sessions said. “We gave away $705 in prize money.” Word got out and the show got bigger every year. “We thought it was big when it started,” said Sessions. “Now we’re contacting between 100, 150 individuals and programs every year!” This year, prizes totaled $1,435, including a new prize for collaborative work. The Main View Gallery’s most recent piece, “Phoenix,” a collaboration by The Arc Otsego artists, was on display at the opening. Though prizes went out to a variety of artists from across the state, artists from The ARC Otsego held their own. Oneonta’s Katherine Sullivan, new to Voice! this year, took home the $100 Heart Award with her three-panel piece, “Me and Tim,” depicting her and her brother reading, watching TV and sleeping out under the stars. The two $50 Jurors Awards also stayed local, going to Mark Stafford for “Deer

Knob” and James Price for “Five Fiendish Friends.” Also new in recent years was the addition of the judges’ comments to the awards themselves. “That made a huge difference to the artists, the staff and their families,” she said. Also new this year are artist bios as a means of connecting the artist with their work and the community. “At other art shows, the artists have bios,” she said. “It helps raise awareness, although we want people to see the art first and the disability second.” This year, 53 works, including four collaborative pieces, by over 60 arts filled the gallery. “Voice provides a place for artists to socialize and meet their peers,” she said. But ultimately, Sessions says, it’s a way to show what we all have in common. “Every human being has the ability for creative expression,” she said. “And for these people, it might be even more important, especially for those who struggle with spoken language – it becomes a mechanism for expressing their thoughts.”

A Long Last, Gilbertsville Erects Historical Marker HISTORY/From A3 mile long lake. Congress reauthorized funding for the project in the early 1950s, and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tiny but strong and powerful protestâ&#x20AC;? of the project was organized and maintained for decades, according to Village Historian Leigh Eckmair. On a parallel track, interest in Gilbertsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after the Civil War, wealthy folks began hiring architects with national reputations to build summer homes locally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was growing. The threat of the dam and lure of a rich history combined in a Committee for the Historic Preservation which, on the one hand, proved there was insufficient flooding on the lower Butternuts and Unadilla creeks and, on the other, began research to prove the historicity of 194 homes and buildings. Around 1980, Congress â&#x20AC;&#x153;deauthorizedâ&#x20AC;? funding of the Corpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Upper Susquehanna Rivershed Project. And in 1983, the village was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The threat removed, the Gilberts-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hallâ&#x20AC;? was the first of 15 architect-designed homes built in Gilbertsville after the Civil War.

ville community went about its business, never getting around to erect a historical marker to recognized the accomplishment. Almost a quarter-century later, 50 miles west of Gilbertsville, Bill Pomeroy noticed the decrepit state of historic markers in the Town of Pompey. Learning the state had stopped erecting markers in 1939, Pomeroy, principal in the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, founded in Syracuse to support bone-marrow transplant re-

search, added a State Historic Marker Program. Pompeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spruced up, he expanded the program to all of Onondaga County. In 2010, he expanded the program to surrounding counties. Last year, he took it statewide. As of today, the Pomeroy Foundation has helped install 195 state markers in 45 counties statewide, according to Paula Miller, the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. Each marker costs about $1,000, Miller said. Back in Gilbertsville, Eckmair heard about the Pomeroy initiative, applied for a grant, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, the village will unveil a State Historic Marker bearing the simple legend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recognition of Gilbertsville being on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.â&#x20AC;? The marker will be in Overlook Park, across Route 51 from the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landmark Majorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inn, and within eyesight of the Greek Revival Gilbertsville post office, which is marking its 125th anniversary. That anniversary will also be celebrated.

City Council Excludes Public From Search SEARCH/From A3 and served on the original Charter Commission, voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;nayâ&#x20AC;? on including members of the public in the search, saying his constituents told him theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hired him to do the job. One concern voiced by several Council members was that adding non-Council members would Mazza threaten the â&#x20AC;&#x153;confidentialityâ&#x20AC;? of the process. When the question was called, only Council member David Rissberger voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;aye.â&#x20AC;? Council member Bob Brzozowski was absent. Members of the Charter Revision Committee, appointed by Mayor Miller in the wake of City Manager Mike Longâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sudden decision to resign at the end of May, were in the audience at

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we want for the community is the search to be transparent,â&#x20AC;? John Dudek, a Charter Revision Committee members, said after the meeting. Another committee member, Sarah Patterson, said she served on a broad-gauged 18-member search committee that hired Alan Donovan as SUNY Oneonta president in the 1980s, and there were no breaches of confidentiality. Before Common Council went into executive session to review applications, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring consultant, Nick Mazza, reported that advertisements with professional organizations and at SUNY campuses that offering masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in public administration programs had yielded 37 applications. He reported eliminating 12 of those because they did not fit the requirements of the charter, primarily for length of experience. After the executive session, Miller issued a statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Search Committee reviewed a list of candidates screened by its consultantâ&#x20AC;Ś There was agreement on a group of finalists who will be interviewed over the next several weeks. The search is on schedule for completion on or about Sept. 1.â&#x20AC;?

THE FREEMANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JOURNAL B-5

A Long Last, Gilbertsville Erects Historical Marker HISTORY/From A3 mile long lake. Congress reauthorized funding for the project in the early 1950s, and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tiny but strong and powerful protestâ&#x20AC;? of the project was organized and maintained for decades, according to Village Historian Leigh Eckmair. On a parallel track, interest in Gilbertsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after the Civil War, wealthy folks began hiring architects with national reputations to build summer home locally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was growing. The threat of the dam and lure of a rich history combined in a Committee for the Historic Preservation which, on the one hand, proved there was insufficient flooding on the lower Butternuts and Unadilla creeks and, on the other, began research to prove the historicity of 194 homes and buildings. Around 1980, Congress â&#x20AC;&#x153;deauthorizedâ&#x20AC;? funding of the Corpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Upper Susquehanna Rivershed Project. And in 1983, the village was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The threat removed, the Gilberts-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hallâ&#x20AC;? was the first of 15 architect-designed homes built in Gilbertsville after the Civil War.

ville community went about its business, never getting around to erect a historical marker to recognized the accomplishment. Almost a quarter-century later, 50 miles west of Gilbertsville, Bill Pomeroy noticed the decrepit state of historic markers in the Town of Pompey. Learning the state had stopped erecting markers in 1939, Pomeroy, principal in the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, founded in Syracuse to support bone-marrow transplant re-

search, added a State Historic Marker Program. Pompeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spruced up, he expanded the program to all of Onondaga County. In 2010, he expanded the program to surrounding counties. Last year, he took it statewide. As of today, the Pomeroy Foundation has helped install 195 state markers in 45 counties statewide, according to Paula Miller, the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. Each marker costs about $1,000, Miller said. Back in Gilbertsville, Eckmair heard about the Pomeroy initiative, applied for a grant, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, the village will unveil a State Historic Marker bearing the simple legend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recognition of Gilbertsville being on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.â&#x20AC;? The marker will be in Overlook Park, across Route 51 from the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landmark Majorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inn, and within eyesight of the Greek Revival Gilbertsville post office, which is marking its 125th anniversary. That anniversary will also be celebrated.

Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Museum Adds Drama To Offerings

DRAMA/From A3 ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Museum,â&#x20AC;? said Danielle Newell, NYSHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new director of education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives people a very personal experience of history in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more emotional.â&#x20AC;? The first-person history program launched the weekend of July 4. The six vignettes are performed by the Templeton Players throughout the day, highlighting the

history of the anti-rent wars of 1839-1845, where farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sometimes disguised as â&#x20AC;&#x153;calico Indiansâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rebelled against wealthy landowners who collected rent far exceeding the worth of their farms. The scripts for the vignettes were written by Axel Estable using newspaper reports, journal entries and autobiographies of people who lived during the time of the

Anti-Rent wars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used direct quotes from speeches and journals,â&#x20AC;? said Newell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too often, we learn facts and figures, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn about the people.â&#x20AC;? Newell was first inspired to study dramatic interpretation when she visited Colonial Williamsburg as a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew right then that was what I wanted to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;History isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t 2-D â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a living, breathing thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here today.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different from the third-person programming the museum currently offers by presenting actors who are completely immersed in their roles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The third-person educators are there to help us comprehend how the tools and the trade worked,â&#x20AC;? said Newell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The firstperson shows us why things happened and who was doing it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It adds some life to the program,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Kenyon, NYSHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of marketing & communications. This season, the vignettes are only performed Saturday and Sunday, but next year, Newell is hoping to expand the program so the scenes will be performed daily, with new scripts every season. On Aug. 20, the Templeton Players will perform the Anti-Rent Wars skits in full with music, drinks and food at a presentation Newell calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nightlife.â&#x20AC;? And she wants to keep adding theatrics to the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Museums programming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get a snake oil salesman, maybe some sĂŠances,â&#x20AC;? she said. But the horn sounds again, alerting visitors that the next vignette is about to start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wait for the call of the horn,â&#x20AC;? said Newell, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a revolutionary time!â&#x20AC;?

HAPPENINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; OTSEGO

LETTERS

Water District WILL Enhance Business Climate To the Editor: I must state my objections to the points made by Mr. Coloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter regarding the Southside Water district project in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition. I cannot expertly respond and answer his technical questions, but his general questions about its purpose are what my following comments reflect. The first objection about the project itself unjustly challenges the Town of Oneontaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to handle it merely because there is no apparent precedent to draw upon (in fact, the town has previously undertaken similarly sized projects). Confidence in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to succeed going forward should not rest solely on precedents. Progress does not exist if one only does what was done before. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey showed the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s majority interest in pursuing the water district, and the two newly elected town board members spoke out in favor of it in their respective campaigns. It seems mighty

reasonable for the town to be engaged in this project, considering the survey and election results. Regarding the economic impact of the project, which Mr. Colone also calls to question, the contention that every development dollar spent must have specific and direct job creation attached to it is impractical. This formula will conclude with failure almost every time. This project will create a better and safer supply of water, which in part means lower risk and better prospects for business expansion and growth. In essence, this project moves our region to a better business climate, one that attracts new businesses and jobs, not to mention the quality of life impact. It is unreasonable to expect projects like this one to have a short-term return directly tied to job growth. Enduring jobs will be created, not by the project itself, but by the businesses that will open in part as a result of it. We have many obstacles

to overcome to bring new and good paying jobs to the region, but pushing aside a project that does not deteriorate or substitute our opportunities, if not enhancing them, is harmful to our long term prospects and goals. In regards to how this project will serve or not serve West Oneonta. Development is always segmented. It is also unreasonable to resist opportunity for one area because the same opportunity is not available in another. The town has already started the work for a proposal on a district serving West Oneonta. Progress should not be stifled by having a distracting discussion on fairness. The discussion about the Southside Water district and a West Oneonta water district are separate and distinct, and need to remain that way. Finally, Mr. Colone feels more questions need to be answered, and research should be done for the project. This is not a new agenda item. There have been numerous meet-

ings about this project, and Town Supervisor Bob Wood has been working on it diligently for quite some time (nearly six years). Mr. Wood is exceptionally knowledgeable about this project and answers questions openly and thoroughly. I suspect he would welcome as many more questions that are needed to satisfy concerned minds about the project. The cost is significant, but only a fraction of it is set upon local taxpayers, considering the funding sources being lined up for the project. I do not live in the Southside area, so I will not be directly affected by this project, but welcome it for the greater Oneonta benefits it will bring. The real inequity is that the town will see miniscule sales tax returns to it even after investing prudently to enhance the business climate, generate new taxable activity, and improve the quality of life in our area. DAN BUTTERMANN Town of Oneonta

Profile Long, And Court Decision Given Short Shrift LETTER/From A4 pointment. In a Feb. 18, 1995, piece, The Times described Zataga as â&#x20AC;&#x153;as inappropriate choice to be chief steward of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threatened natural resources.â&#x20AC;? The Times reminded its readers that Zagata advocated opening up â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling.â&#x20AC;? The Times also took Zagata to task for supporting â&#x20AC;&#x153;a misguided concept called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mitigation banking,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which would allow companies to develop protected wetlands on the promise to create new, ecologically suspect sanctuaries.â&#x20AC;? Zagata eventually got into trouble for personal use of DEC vehicles and was forced out of office to a state-wide chorus of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zagatago!â&#x20AC;? But what is far worse was his consistent record of promoting a mindless, pro-business policy in blatant disregard of established environmental standards and safeguards, and the damage that

it caused. It is a sad commentary that your article distorts his public record so dramatically. The same week that you published your profile, the state Court of Appeals came down with an historic decision, upholding the home rule land use legislation of the towns of Middlefield and Dryden to ban fracking in their communities. Your coverage of this landmark case in The Freemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journal was swamped by your paean to Zagata, while in your Hometown Oneonta, the landmark case was further reduced to a brief recognition, with your Zagata puff piece even more dominant. It is deeply troubling that a court decision of great significance affecting not only the future of the natural gas industry in New York State, but perhaps nationally and beyond, was given such short-shrift in your newspaper. This was an event unparalleled in local

and state history, deserving perhaps of a special edition of your newspaper, given that resistance to fracking in our area involved hundreds and hundreds of local activists who mobilized thousands of others in unprecedented fashion to persuade 10 municipalities in Otsego County and beyond to resist just the sort of corporate intrusion that Zagata welcomed. All of which calls into question not only your editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journalistic judgment on of what constitutes important news, but where he stands on vital energy issues.

On Saturday, June 21, members of the Oneonta High School Class of 1975 gathered at Council Rock at the south end of Otsego Lake and cycled the lake to raise money for Opportunities for Otsego, Inc. Supported by their classmates, families and friends, the “Spirited Six” raised $1,950.00 for OFO. Pictured (L-R) are Larry Callahan, husband of Fran (Andrews) Callahan, Steve Talevi, Sue (Smith) Clemons, Carolyn (Ellegate) Marks, Diane Georgeson, and Dana (Bresee) Keeth. Deeply concerned about the hazards of dehydration and carbohydrate depletion, the group reassembled after the ride at a local restaurant for re-hydration and carbohydrate replenishment. A good time was had by all, and they look forward to seeing their classmates at their 40th Class Reunion in October, 2015.
