But it’s not just the concert. The weekend starts with a casino night on Friday, Aug. 23. “There’ll be blackjack, Texas Hold ‘em, Roulette,” said Laing. On Saturday, the park will host a Kid’s Day featuring water slides, a half-acre of inflatable rides and the Zooperstars, costumed characters similar to Sesame Street who will eat lunch and take pictures with kids. “That’s the stuff I want to do down there,” said Laing. “I want it to be family oriented.

Status Quo OK – But Fall (Election) Frolics Will Bring Surprises
W
hen it comes to Fall Frolics – the theme of this week’s edition – this autumn election season will offer its usual share of surprises. It already has, given that the Otsego County Democratic Party last spring was expressing confidence it would be able to take control of the county Board of Representatives for the first time since the Devil’s Bargain of 2006. Now, at best, that seems debatable. In the spring, the balance hung on District 5 – Hartwick, Milford, New Lisbon. First-term Republican Pauline Koren had declined to seek a second term, and Richard Abbate of Cooperstown, the Democratic county chair, saw moving that seat into his column at the key to control. Abbate recruited veteran New Lisbon Town Board member Ed Lentz, a brainy guy, likeable, a patent lawyer and himself a former county Democratic chair, to run. Jamie Waters of Milford emerged on the Republican side, and while he’s well known as founder and organizer, with wife Brenda, of the Goodyear Lake Polar Bear Jump (and his dad held town office), this is his first election bid. Since District 5 has the largest number of weighted votes on the county board – 626 out of a total 6,167, or 11 percent on that 14-person board; that’s more than double the 285 in county Rep. Gary Koutnik’s City of Oneonta district – as goes the 5th, so goes Otsego Nation. •
The wild card – politics is a game of wild cards – was the surprise decision by three-term District 4 rep Richard Murphy, D-Town of Oneonta, to retire despite the pleadings of his party’s stalwarts. The well-known and approachable Janet Hurley Quackenbush, the veteran Town of Oneonta board member, emerged as the Republican candidate. The Democrats recruited Dan Butterman, a young manager at New York Central Mutual who moved here from Arizona a year ago when his wife joined Hartwick’s faculty. According to Rich Abbate, Murphy is helping introduce Butterman to the community at large, going door to door with the candidate. But a safe Democratic seat is in play, even in doubt. There are 14 county representatives on the board, so some might think any eight would ensure a majority. Not so, due to the weighted voting system that emerged when the Board of Representatives replaced the 24-member Board of Supervisors. It’s all in the arithmetic. While the county board is 7-7, evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, the Republicans hold more of the bigger districts, and thus control 891 more weighted votes. To win control, that means the Democrats need to gain 446 votes – half of 891, plus one. So if Lentz wins, his 626 votes give control to the Democrats. But if Hurley Quackenbush wins, she takes away 499 votes from the

Another race to follow during the election Fall Frolics is for county treasurer, where Republican-backed Ed Keator of West Oneonta, right, and Democratic-backed Russell Bachman, Edmeston, are vying to succeed Dan Crowell. Keator and Bachman met for the first time Saturday, Aug. 17, while working the hustings at Goodyear Lake Days. Crowell, who left the county in January for special ops training at Fort Bragg, decided not to run again, but the decision came too late to have his name removed from the ballot. Both parties submitted petitions on behalf of their candidates to the county Board of Elections by Tuesday, Aug. 20, the deadline.
Democrats. The difference, 127 votes, is not enough to end Republican control. Four other districts are in play: • In the Butternut Valley (2nd), Democrat Teresa Winchester is again challenging long-time Republican rep Jim Powers. • In Otego (3rd), newcomer Stu Anderson, who shifted from Republican to Democrat over the fracking issue, hopes to unseat the very able board chair, Kathy Clark, a Republican. • In Cherry Valley/Middle-

Cheap Shots Cannot Erase Original Point: Anchor Industries Build Strong Economy To the Editor: I read with interest Larry Bennett’s observations of my “snobbish hypocrisy.” He notes that I am a businesswoman, in the tourist business, enjoy a good bottle of wine, and that I have, on at least one occasion, visited a casino. Truth be told, I even enjoy a good beer, including your Ommegang that I keep in my wine cellar. However, Mr. Bennett’s personal attack on me ignores the central point of my original column, “Beer, Booze and Gambling No Formula for the County’s Future.” It’s right up there in the
headline, Larry. Hard to miss, but let me make it simple for you: Jobs in the hospitality industry, including casinos, are usually low wage and often seasonal or parttime. Breweries and distilleries can provide jobs, but they are not “anchor” industries that spin off many other economic opportunities. While we wait for Governor Cuomo’s decision, Pennsylvania forges ahead with new jobs and growth. Gas development has provided economic underpinning for a stronger local economy, lower utility bills, higher tax revenues to sup-
port government services, increased real estate values, more charitable giving and stabilized a declining population. That’s what anchor industries do, Larry. They don’t eliminate other businesses; they enhance them through prosperity. As for me being a snobbish hypocrite, I am 30+ year Upstate transplant from Yonkers. We don’t grow snobs in Yonkers or take cheap shots, for that matter. That’s my pedigree. Who are you? ANNA MARIE LUSINS Oneonta
Fair Board Reacted Well In Dart-Board Case To the Editor: I must agree with Mr. Abbate regarding the lack of respect shown to the office of the President that occurred at the Otsego County Fair. While I do not support most of President Obama’s policies, it is still disturb-
ing to me to have someone throwing darts at his picture. The fair is, and always has been, a wonderful representation of the quality of life and people who live here in our county. The many volunteers that spend countless hours over the course of a year preparing

for the fair do so because they love the fair and the county. They truly deserve a lot more than just our “Thank Yous”. This unfortunate incident was a heated topic of our most recent county board meeting. It was stated that as soon as members of the fair board were informed that the game existed, they had it removed. They acted appropriately. Meanwhile, a lady who was attending the fair photographed the dart game. Instead of contacting the fair board, she decided to post it to the web and several leftleaning newspapers.

incumbents. Certainly, there’s no slam dunk. • Yes, Abbate is eager to see a Democratic majority on the county board – and he should be; it’s his job. But for citizens who observed the bone-deep rancor that resulted after county Rep. Don Lindberg, R-Worcester, allied himself with Democrats so he could assume the chairmanship – and they could assume control – in January 2006, the Otsego County Board of Representatives is in pretty good shape today. Kathy Clark, first elected chair in January 2012, is firm-footedly leading a true bi-partisan undertaking, with Oneonta Democrats Linda Rowinski and Kay Stuligross as dependable allies – not slavish, but dependable. Sitting in the visitors’ gallery before any recent county board meeting, you would hear friendly banter and sense a spirit of collaboration in the room. It’s heartening to hear county reps vigorously debate an issue, then see them a few minutes later talking in a friendly fashion about sports, weather or a personal issue. It’s also been reassuring to see them come together in true consensus on such thorny matters as the future of Otsego Manor. If, say, Ed Lentz were to replace Pauline Koren, Janet Hurley Quackenbush were to succeed Rich Murphy, and Kathy Clark were to continue as board chair for another two years, that might very well be the optimum outcome of this fall’s county board election. But then, there will be surprises. With Labor Day, let the political frolics begin.
PERSPECTIVES
A stereopticon slide of Otsego Lake, with the Sleeping Lion.
A Mild October Morning, When Sun Is Like Ball Of Silvery Fire Editor’s Note: This description of fall in Otsego County is from James Fenimore Cooper’s “The Pioneers” (1823), his fictional depiction of early local life.
W
ith this brief explanation, we must return to our narrative. Let the American reader imagine one of our mildest October mornings, when the sun seems a ball of silvery fire, and the elasticity of the air is felt while it is inhaled, imparting vigor and life to the whole system; the weather, neither too warm nor too cold, but of that happy temperature which stirs the blood, without bringing the lassitude of spring. It was on such a morning, about the middle of the month, that Oliver entered the hall where Elizabeth was issuing her usual orders for the day, and requesting her to join him in a short excursion to the lakeside. The tender melancholy in the manner of her husband caught the attention
of Elizabeth, who instantly abandoned her concerns, threw a light shawl across her shoulders, and, concealing her raven hair under a gypsy hat, and took his arm, and submitted herself, without a question, to his guidance. They crossed the bridge, and had turned from the highway, along the margin of the lake, before a word was exchanged. Elizabeth well knew, by the direction, the object of the walk, and respected the feelings of her companion too much to indulge in untimely conversation. But when they gained the open fields, and her eye roamed over the placid lake, covered with wild fowl already journeying from the great northern waters to seek a warmer sun, but lingering to play in the limpid sheet of the Otsego, and to the sides of the mountain, which were gay with the thousand dyes of autumn, as if to grace their bridal, the swelling heart of the young wife burst out in speech.

A Suggestion: Would it not be worth the consideration of all Christian temperance workers and all that claim and do believe in prohibition to take some steps in the way of placing drinking fountains along the streets, especially those most traveled, so that our husbands, brothers, and children will not be obliged to resort to the hotels for a drink of cold water. It seems the height of folly to pay out so much for lectures, and the cause of temperance, when not one step is taken to place pure, cold water, where all may stop and get a drink when weary and thirsty. With one exception, in this city there is no place for teamsters and the traveling public to water their teams, and consequently they are obliged to visit the hotels for all such favors. Is it any wonder that our boys frequent such places when they can get favors that the city does not afford. Even if we get a drink of water at a hotel it is so fumed with tobacco smoke it is next to impossible to drink it by those that do not use tobacco. August 1888

Tap water in Oneonta is distasteful and smells foul because engineers are pumping from the Susquehanna River to conserve precious water supplies in city reservoirs. The musty flavor is from leaf mold in the Mill Race, along the Susquehanna River, from which the city is drawing the river water, according to city engineer Richard C. Olton. “There’s no harm in it. It’s just objectionable,” Olton said. The resulting mold on the gathering leaves imparts the offflavor,” Olton explained. Olton said chlorinating the river water and running it through a charcoal filter at the city’s water treatment plant partially eliminates the taint. Rainfall for August in this area has amounted to 3.87 inches, half an inch more than normal for the entire month, but virtually all of that rainfall came in just two storms. The August rains have probably soaked into parched soils left by a dry spell in July. Little or no runoff has been added to the reservoirs so far in August. August 1983

The New York Stock Exchange has taken steps to discourage all orders involving a cash payment of less than $5,000, while the effect of the National Securities Act, grain market regulations and new taxes on transactions on these boards should decrease speculation among those who cannot afford to lose. Many steps have been taken while protecting the legitimate and necessary purposes of such markets, yet to protect the individual of small means from gambling on something of which he personally knows little or nothing. Still there is nothing to be done that will protect the man who still thinks the market or outside securities of a highly speculative character is the easy way to riches. If he persists now he will have nobody to blame but himself. August 1933

The U.S. Senate internal security subcommittee reports that “the Soviet international organization has carried on a successful and important penetration of the United States government and this penetration has not been fully exposed.” The report was signed by all eight members of the sub-committee and based on a year’s study of the question. The report outlines Communist infiltration into the government since the early 1930s. The report states: “Policies and programs laid down by members of this Soviet conspiracy are still in effect within our government and constitute a continuing hazard to our national security.” The report concludes: “There is a mass of evidence and information on the hidden Communist conspiracy in government which is still inaccessible to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to this subcommittee because persons who know the facts of this conspiracy are not cooperating with the security authorities of the country.” August 1953

For the first time in many years, colleges and universities across the nation are experiencing a sizeable decrease in the number of applications for admission. However, area college admissions departments report no major problems. Hartwick College will welcome 475 freshmen this fall, a figure which corresponds almost exactly with admission figures for fall 1972, said Joseph C. Lehman, Director of Public Relations. At SUCO, admissions counselor Richard Burr estimated that 1,200 freshmen and 850 transfer students would enter the school this fall. The combined figure represents an increase of 200 over last fall’s total for new
Cat Statistics: In 1983, 24.2 million households owned a cat. By 1987, the total had jumped to 27.5 million; and by 1991 to 29.2 million, making felines the number one pet in the country. The total cat population for 1991 was 57 million. Survey results showed the majority of households (58 percent) had only one cat, while 32 percent owned two or three cats. Ten percent of households cared for four or more felines. The mean pet food expenditure per cat-owning household was $143.92 annually or approximately $70.88 per cat. Seventy percent of cat-owning households surveyed took their pets to a veterinarian in 1991, a decrease of 8 percent from 1987. Nearly 65 percent of cats taken to a vet received a vaccination.

A U.S.-Canadian probe of last week’s blackout will be quick but thorough so investigators can determine what might be done to prevent a recurrence. U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, Herb Dhaliwal, shook hands as they started their first face-to-face meeting of the joint investigation into the biggest blackout in North American history. The two are co-chairing the task force. Experts studying the outage have pointed to a series of small failures on the northeast Ohio power grid owned by First Energy Corp. that may have combined to unleash a huge wave of destructive electricity.

Wellwishers Applaud Gene Bettiol As Foothills Theater Named In Family’s Honor
BETTIOL/From A1 called when he himself was “at death’s door” a few years ago, so ill, he couldn’t eat of drink, “happy death would come soon.” Who showed up at his door but Betty Bettiol and her husband, Gene Sr. – a prime developer of Southside Oneonta, known for his low-key approach to challenging issues. “They came to the house with the one thing they knew I could handle: a milkshake.” Said the lawyer, “Sometimes in the myth, you fail to see the man. I am not here for the myth; I am here for the man.” So were 150 other well-wishers at a reception in Foothills’ Atrium, where the art center’s benefactor, to his surprise, learned that – instead of attending a dedication of a newly completed veranda – he and his family were the guests of honor. Carol Blazina, Foothills board president, who had conspired with Betty to get Gene Sr. there, announced what was in the offing to a surprised Bettiol. “When I parked my car, I didn’t have an inkling of what was go-
ols’ first great-grandchild. Still, the surprise was complete, as Blazina unveiled the sign over the door, “The Bettiol Theater.” In addition to Scozzafava, accolades were forthcoming from state Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, Congressman Chris Gibson, R-19th, who presented the honoree with a Congressional medallion, and Mayor Dick Miller. HOMETOWN ONEONTA Jaci Bettiol emceed a tribute to her late Attorney John Scozzafava sits next brother, featuring a song, “It’s Time For to the guest of honor, whom he Love,” performed by his daughter Carleigh. praised for his humanity.

Foothills, which formed in 1999. At first, the idea was to put Foothills in the Town of Oneonta, but the father and son saw the arts center as a chance to do something for the city’s downtown. And so the abandoned feral-cat and rat infested WestNesbitt mill on Market Street was demolished and the $8 million Foothills rose in its place. In his remarks, the guest of honor remembered how, in the early ‘60s, Betty fell ill. Concerned about her and tending their three small children, the father arrived 90 minutes late for his job three days in a row. On Day Three, his boss called him into his office. “I figured: This ride’s over,” said the honoree. Instead, his sympathetic employer counseled him: When things are bad, they’re never as bad as they seem. When they’re good, it’s not going to last forever. “Keep your highs and your lows in balance,” Bettiol said, sharing that long-ago advice with the gathering, “and it will all level out.”
Librarian Bruni Withstood Secret Service’s Pressure, Protected Huntington Records
BRUNI/From A1 Next thing she knew, she was in the midst of an “intense investigation” by the Secret Service, the Treasury Department arm charged with protecting top national officials and visiting foreign dignitaries. “It was like something out of the movies,” she said the other day. “They both had trenchcoats. Very shiny shoes.” They reached into their jacket pockets and – just like on TV – flashed their badges. “Is there a private place to talk?” one asked. Bruni escorted the agents to her compact second-floor office overlooking Huntington Park, and soon felt the full force of the tall agents’ ability to intimidate. One stood, blocking the door, his arms crossed, while the other grilled the diminutive librarian. If they were the rock, a 1982 state law assuring confidentiality of library records was the hard place. “I gave them a copy of the law,” said Bruni. “They threw it on the floor. They told me they could make my life miserable.” She continued, “I kept telling them all they needed was a court order or a subpoena.” They left. The phone rang. It was City Hall, and the human-resources director told the new hire: cooperate. She declined. Soon, library
Marie Bruce, when she arrived at Huntington Library, had her trustee IBM Selectric at hand. Keeping up with technology will be a continuing challenge for libraries, she said.
staffers could tell by clicks on the line that the phones were being tapped. Marie Bruni was raised in western New York, and always knew she would be a librarian. Growing up, “I used to dream about being locked in a library and not being let out until I read all the books.” She loves apples, and in the dream she could eat all the apples she wanted. She still eats an apple a day all these years later. After college, Bruni – then Marie Bruce – worked in libraries and taught, landing the Huntington job in her early 30s. The draw? Oneonta. “It was a college town,” she said. “It
was vibrant. It was alive. It had of lot of cultural activity. It was just the right match for me.” But she faced a big challenge: “We took a library that was in the 19th century and brought it up to the 21st century.” Job one was the physical plant: “The first week I was here, I fell through the roof” during an inspection. The old mansion’s roof was replaced. Insulation, storm windows and siding followed. Carpeting. Furniture. Chairs. She reorganized the collection, too, adding a mystery section, a reference section, a New York State room. And the children’s section. “The best part of public libraries are the children,” she said. “They believe. If you tell them they are going to be cats, they’re cats. If you tell them they are going to be artists, they’re artists.” She jumped into community life, too, singing with the Catskill Choral Society for 20 years. She rose to president of Literacy Volunteers of Otsego & Delaware Counties. Statewide, she held key posts in NYLA, the New York Library Association, and was president of the state chapter of the American Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Round Table. The G-Men had picked the wrong target. Concerned the Huntington’s records might be compromised, Bruni moved the data the
Secret Service sought to a secure location off site. She was summoned to the federal courthouse in Syracuse to appear before a grand jury, which issued the subpoena required by state law. Crisis resolved. Agents rushed to the secure site and had seized the records by the time Bruni got home. The individual who wrote the threat was arrested, held for six months, and released when it was determined he
was no threat. The episode catapulted Oneonta’s librarian into prominence. She received numerous awards and delivered 300 speeches. The issue is still relevant today, she said. Since the Patriot Act was passed, the Huntington has been required to respond to requests from local police, state police and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “But you can’t talk about it,” she
said, “because it’s against the law to say anything.” Still, as she moves into the next phase of her career – her successor, Tina Winstead of Ithaca, begins work Monday, Aug. 26 – she still takes satisfaction from that long-ago episode. “I did it because I wanted others to know they don’t have to give in to law-enforcement authorities,” she said. “They can stand their ground.”

Robert A. Winn, 54; Football Coach, Painted Prominent Signs ONEONTA–Robert A. Winn, 54, a former football coach with both the high school and pee-wee leagues, passed away on August 14, 2013 Bobby was born Oct. 29, 1958, the son of Alfred and Barbara (Bell) Winn. He graduated from Oneonta High School in 1977. He married Jo-Ann Dilello, on June 14, 1986. He was one of the first coaches of the Oneonta Pee Wee league. He followed his first team of junior players to the senior level of the league. He continued to coach at the senior league until he eventually became the varsity football coach for Oneonta Senior High. After stepping down as the coach for OHS, he went back to resurrect the Pee Wee league as the head of
the program. Bobby was an extremely skilled, highly respected, and sought Robert after master Winn craftsman and cabinetmaker. He was self employed as the owner of R.A. Winn Enterprises for the past 35 years. In his late teens he painted all of the signs for the outfield at the Doc Knapp baseball field, as well as those in the old Damaschke baseball field. Some of his later signs can be seen at Cobleskill Stone Products, the Welcome to Bainbridge sign as you enter the Village off I88, the Oneonta Plains Cemetery, and Otsego Auto Crushers.
