Springbrook’s $22 million campus expansion has taken the school for developmentally disabled children a long way from the modest Upstate Baptist Home for Children (left), founded as a orphanage in 1925. With the just-completed expansion, Springbrook raises its workforce to 1,000, making it Otsego County’s fifth largest employer. The achievement will be celebrated with tours and a dedication ceremony Thursday, Sept. 20. Keynoter will be Tom Golisano, Paychex founder, philanthropist and three-time gubernatorial candidate.

Golisano’s $2.5 Million Challenge Braced Springbrook By JIM KEVLIN

pringbrook CEO Patricia Kennedy had never asked anyone for $5 million before. When she pulled over at a Thruway rest area this side of Rochester, she distractedly turned away and left her purse in the sink – one of those with an automatic spigot – and it was soaked through when she turned back. A half-hour later she and John M. Anderson, then Hartwick College provost, now SUNY Alfred presi-

Tom Golisano gave Springbrook a choice: A $250,000 check or a $2.5 million challenge.

dent, were meeting with Tom Golisano, the Paychex founder, three-time gubernatorial candidate and – not in the least – philanthropist. He didn’t let them off easy. “He asked tough questions,” she recalled the other day. “Why are you doing this? Why haven’t you tried that?” “This is an initiative of New York State: Why should I want to be invested in this?” Golisano asked. “We want to provide quality,” Kennedy replied. “We want to provide the best environment. We want

to provide the best program. To reach that excellent level we want, we need your support.” When the grilling was over, Golisano gave Kennedy a choice, Anderson recalled. He would write Springbrook a $250,000 check, or he would offer a $2.5 million matching grant, one dollar for every dollar raised locally for Springbrook’s expansion. “We jumped at it,” Kennedy said of the Golisano challenge, and the process of finding the $2.5 million locally raised Springbrook’s visibility in the community

and built relationships that will continue to serve the institution for years and decades to come. The partnership will be honored at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at a dedication ceremony in the School at Springbrook playing field marking the completion of a $22 million expansion that includes the Tom Golisano Center for Autism. Golisano is due to arrive on campus at 3 p.m. to tour the new facility, accompanied by Kennedy and Anderson, who will be flying in from an NCAA meeting in Indianapolis the day before.

Anderson, who Kennedy recruited to the Springbrook board soon after he became Hartwick provost in 2004, had held various high-ranking SUNY posts over the years and had gotten to know Golisano, who had an adult son with developmental disabilities. “I knew this was an organization with a story that Tom needed to hear,” said Anderson, who invited Golisano for a first visit to the hillside campus south of Portlandville. Said Anderson, “He was very moved by what he saw.” Please See GOLISANO, A6

Springbrook Proves It: The Golden Rule Is Good Business

here is something both reassuringly old fashioned AND energizingly forward looking about, if you will, The Springbrook Strategy. Old fashioned, in that we are reminded of a time when business executives were concerned, not just with their own bonuses and their stockholders, but with multiple stakeholders – customers, employees, communities and the good of the nation. Springbrook CEO Patricia Kennedy, with the support of her boards, has consistently executed a win-win approach exemplified yet again in the Thursday, Sept. 20, ribbon-cutting that completes a $22 million expansion, its most ambitious to date. First and foremost, 24 new students win, children who will study at the state-of-the-art Tom Golisano Center for Autism and live in those lovely craftsman-style homes on that hilltop overlooking the campus. If not for Springbrook’s ambition, they would be living out of state, far from their

families and non-institutional support systems. • Second, New York State taxpayers win. Tax money – in the form of a per-pupil stipend – that would have warehoused the children out of state, Kennedy perceived was sufficient to fund $15 million of the expansion. Albany gets a 20 percent savings, in fact. Third, Otsego County neighbors win: In jobs, as this expansion has added 112 and pushed Springbrook employment to 1,000,

e-Mail From Tunisia ‘Firmly Condemns What Happened’ Editor’s Note: Jay W. More of Cooperstown received this e-mail from a friend in Tunisia Friday, Sept. 14, after the attack on the U.S. Embassy that resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens.

looting and plundering in the neighborhoods of Tunis; they can never represent us. I do apologize to all the American people who were the first ones who supported our fight for freedom. Please Jay do send this message to all those you know. This morning I took my car and drove near the embassy because I still do not believe what happened. When I saw the damages caused by those ignorant extremists I felt so sad for my people who can never be like these evildoers. Even when the previous generations where fighting the French, no embassy was attacked. We all still believe we can make it against all odds. Thanks and may God bless all of us. KAIS HABIB Tunisia

Hi Jay, As tourism was really picking up, a handful of extremists who I assure you can never represent the Tunisian people – who did their great revolution peacefully – and who were supported by your great country are now spoiling our people and religion. I do firmly condemn what happened today in the U.S. Embassy; I think that we can all show our disapproval about certain things, but in a peaceful manner. These people who pretend to protect Islam are at the moment

placing it among the top five local employers. More generally, the expansion will inject a $5 million more annually into the local economy. Shortterm, the project has been beneficial to banks, contractors and hundreds of people who found work during the worst economic dip in 80 years. This has been the biggest construction job in the county in the past two years. Why and when autism strikes is not sufficiently understood. As far as is now known, it can happen to any family, randomly. Springbrook, by serving the children so well, has brought many new families to our county and allowed others to stay. Yes, everybody wins. • The Springbrook Strategy embraces everything this very fine institution undertakes. In March, for instance, Kennedy and SUNY Oneonta President Nancy Kleniewski announced a collaboration on a master’s in special education.

Again, win-win. Springbrook hires staff from Upstate colleges and beyond with bachelor’s degrees. Typically, recent college grads will stay at their jobs for a year or so. This two-year program gives them a reason to stay longer, to make friends, to establish roots. What in many cases would have been a year-long interlude becomes a five-year, or 10-year, or career-long commitment, stabilizing Springbrook’s staff, benefiting the students with more highly trained and experienced teachers, and benefiting the community at large with a cadre of well-educated professionals. SUNY Oneonta benefits from a predictable enhancement to its income stream, $1/4 million a year, plus expanded offerings to continue upgrading its student body. • The purchase of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Oneonta, announced in July, is another case in point. By ganging rents paid at multiple satellite facilities, Springbrook was able to consolidate

Century of

offices and cover the mortgage. So while an empty St. Mary’s could have deteriorated into an ugly eyesore – and an attractive nuisance, to boot – it will continue as a well-tended beehive of public service on Oneonta’s east end for the foreseeable future. The consolidation also opens up Class A office space in short supply for smaller-scale enterprises now getting underway. This win-win way of thinking works. Kennedy and her Springbrook boards have proved it. Over the past two decades, the budget has grown from $5 million to today’s $42 million. That’s success. Those who are operating businesses, non-profits, government agencies now or are considering doing so should pause and reflect: Can we help ourselves by helping everyone? The idea is as old as the Golden Rule and as relevant today as it’s ever been. The Springbrook Strategy proves it.

or over 80 years, Springbrook has been a place where barriers are overcome. Founded in 1925 as the Upstate Baptist Home for Children, our heritage and principles have guided our growth to an organization that today offers educational, residential, therapeutic, habilitation, and community support options to individuals with developmental disabilities. Founded by Harriet Parish Smith,

the Upstate Baptist Home for Children was established on a working farm to serve orphaned children. In the 1960s – after years of successfully placing children in new homes – the board of directors recognized shifting needs and decided to begin serving a new group of individuals, changing the organization’s mission to serve children with disabilities. This decision continued a tradition of supporting those individuals in our society that are underserved

and most deserving of high quality, compassionate support. We are proud to carry this tradition forward today, supporting over 800 people of all ages with developmental disabilities and employing nearly 1,000 people from across New York. Springbrook is a place where learning never ends, challenges are opportunities, and dependence is transformed into independence. – Springbrook’s official history

THURSDAY-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20-21, 2012

At Gala, He Praised ‘The Miracle Of Springbrook,’ Sparked ‘Coming Home’ Drive GOLISANO/From A3 Springbrook was on a growth curve. Some time before, its mission had changed from orphanage to teaching children with disabilities. Recently, it had changed its name from Upstate Baptist

Home for Children and was in the process winning a $15 million state contract to create a new residential program for 24 autistic children. But Kennedy and the Springbrook board realized the state money would only

provide the bare bones. For instance, the spacious gym people will see on Thursday’s tours would only have been one-quarter the size. The well-appointed Craftsman-style homes on the hill would have lacked the superior quality evident now. The difference between government-issue and first-rate, it was estimated, would be about $5 million. To begin closing that gap, Springbrook organized its first fundraising gala in the spring 2005. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to honor someone like Tom Golisano at our first

gala?” Kennedy mused, and Anderson took it from there. “On the day of our gala, Tom came with some of his friends in the afternoon and had a tour,” said Kennedy. “After we went through our facility – we had all of our kids there, just like a regular school day – he said, ‘How can I help you?’.” “He spoke eloquently at our first gala,” she continued. “He talked about ‘The Miracle of Springbrook,’ which meant so much to people, including me.” When planning to raise the $5 million began in earnest in the gala’s wake,

the planners realized Tom Golisano – his Golisano Foundation has donated many millions to Rochester area philanthropies over 25 years – “would put us in a different league,” Kennedy said. After the spring 2006 visit to Rochester, Golisano returned to Springbrook that summer to announce the $2.5 million matching grant. To get things started, he wrote a check for $250,000, the amount he’d offered Kennedy and Anderson a few months before in lieu of the $2.5 million. The money was welcome,

Privatized in 2006, instead of addressing some 66 deficiencies cited by New York State, they have decided to close. We don’t want that here. The Otsego County Board of Representatives adopted my proposal that “a history of excellent resident care” be inserted into the board’s resolution. Passing it was a legal requirement to hire a consultant to seek qualified parties to privatize The Manor. I also made it plain that I expected it to be on top of the criteria list to assess interested parties. Bassett Hospital seems to meet that criteria, should they choose to submit a proposal. Bassett has demonstrated extensive health care for the elderly and has an association with Fox Hospital that has its own successful Fox Nursing Home. Bassett is a natural fit. It has a broad-based healthcare mission, a long-term history and commitment to our community and is located close to The Manor. County representatives are under no obligation to privatize The Manor when the consultant presents qualified organizations that have submitted proposals. This is where the real debate may begin.

tion can successfully run an eldercare facility with the same level of excellent caregiving when the nonprofit county cannot. But just because I have doubts, it does not mean that privatization proposals should not be considered. It should be explored so those proposals can succeed or fail on their own merits. And let’s put to rest the notion that The Manor is not financially sound because it is bloated or not efficient. The reason The Manor and many other County eldercare facilities are in trouble is that state government is financially strangling our counties with unfunded or partially funded mandates. An NPR report stated that in the state 10 counties have already sold their eldercare facilities and 12 more were in the process of trying to sell them. The Manor is running deficits because the state has cut Medicare reimbursements $30 per person per day. It is now also beginning a “regional” elder home-care reimbursement system that will cut reimbursements further. To aid in beginning a conversation about The Manor, The County is setting up a website that makes all aspects of the county exploring privatization transparent and asks for your suggestions and comments. Please use it and/or contact your county Representative to help them wrestle with this issue. Also consider contacting state Sen. Jim Seward and your other State representatives including the Governor’s Office, to ex-

but the challenge of raising the rest was what Kennedy and Anderson today consider transformative as they await the new campus’ dedication. “He certainly was the right individual to get us going,” said Anderson. “He’s done more than give us money; he’s given us the gift of inspiration.” “That changed our culture of philanthropy,” said Kennedy, from seeking money to building a community of support. “It really inspired people.” something that does good.”

Here’s What You’ll See On Springbrook’s Opening Day Tours By LIBBY CUDMORE

he Tom Golisano Center for Autism’s first student arrived in June, taking up residence in one of three new Craftsmanstyle houses on the big hill behind Springbrook’s main campus south of Portlandville. Now, 13 students are living in the complex, which is sure to be one of the highpoints of tours during the Thursday, Sept. 20, celebration of the $22 million “Coming Home” expansion project. “It would be a great place for hang-gliding,” joked Jeff Edelstein, director of daycare and the residential school. “You can see the whole campus and the Susquehanna River.” Each house has two sections with four bedrooms and a living section in each. There’s a shared laundry and kitchen in the middle. “Every time I come in here, I think ‘I want this kitchen’,” said Kira DeLanoy, assistant director of PR and marketing. Edelstein continued, “These houses are very open, and there’s no place a student can go away from things. They can come into

We looked carefully for people,” he said. “We wanted to match students to the services we offer.” Down the hill, visitors will see a spacious new gym, four times the size it would have been if not for the $5 million fund drive launched to enhance the state’s original plan. Recalling the pre-renovation facility, Director of Facilities Tom Ford observed, “It was a very small gym. There

elative newcomer Richard D. Abbate, who took the village Democratic Party from minority status to dominance in a matter of months, was elected county chairman Monday, Sept. 17, and pledged to do more of the same OtsegoCounty-wide. “I’m excited about the future, Abbate and what my position holds for this party,” Abbate – pronounced “a-BATE”; everyone calls him Richie – told an upbeat gathering in the county Board of Representatives’ chambers. He succeeds attorney Ed Lentz, New Lisbon. County Rep. John Kosmer, Fly Creek, was elected vice chair, replacing county Rep. Please See ABBATE, B4

FERC Schedules 3 Hearings On Constitution Pipeline By JIM KEVLIN

f you want to advise the federal government on the Constitution Pipeline – one option would run along I-88 through Otsego County – this is your chance. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has announced the public-comment period for the project, a required part of its licensing process, is open and will continue through Tuesday, Oct. 9. To receive that comment, FERC has planned three “public scoping meetings”: Monday, Sept. 24, at Afton High School; Tuesday, Sept. 25, at Schoharie High School, and Wednesday, Sept. 26,

IF YOU GO: FERC hearings on the Constitution Pipeline are 7-10 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25, Afton High School; Tuesday, Sept. 26, Schoharie High School; Wednesday, Sept. 27, Blue Ridge High School, New Milford, Pa. at Blue Ridge High School, New Milford, Pa. The evenings begin at 6 p.m., when Constitution Pipeline representatives will be on hand to answer questions and describe the proposal. The formal hearings will be 7-10 p.m. each evening. Comments may also be filed electronically at www.ferc.gov un-

der a link called “Documents and Filings.” Used docket number PF12-9-000. Or comments may be mailed to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St. NE, Room 1A, Washington DC 20426. FERC’s “Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement” began arriving in local mailboxes in the past few days. All landowners potentially effected by the project should have received one, and they are advised that Constitution representatives either have or will be getting in touch to work on “a mutally acceptable agreement.” “However,” the notice continues, if FERC approves the project,

“that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, Constitution could initiate condemnation proceedings,” and payments would be determined by state law. FERC has a fact sheet, “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?”, available on www.ferc. gov. When the 120-mile pipeline proposal surfaced in April to connect natural-gas fields in northeast Pennsylvania with Tennessee and Iroquois pipeline compression stations in Schoharie County, routes crossed Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Schoharie counties, not Otsego.

But at the suggestion of state Rep. Pete Lopez, R-Schoharie, and state Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, FERC added “Alternate M,” which would shift the pipeline north along the I-88 right-of-way. Generally, FERC prefers putting new infrastructure along existing rights-of-way, according to Matthew Swift, the Constitution project manager. In addition to easement payments and temporary 600 jobs during 2014, the year of construction, Swift said property taxes could generate $5 million a year for municipalities and school districts along the route, including $3 million for Otsego County government.

Abbate Brings New Strategy To Democratic Helm As Youthful Offender,

ABBATE, From B1 Rich Murphy, Oneonta, who will remain on the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive committee. Theresa Winchester, Gilbertsville, is secretary, and Flo Loomis, Oneonta, treasurer. Abbate arrived with a plan of organization to pick and elect â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best possible candidatesâ&#x20AC;? for office. He announced he will appoint 10 district leaders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one for Oneonta, and one each in the county rep districts outside the city. The city leader will pick four â&#x20AC;&#x153;captainsâ&#x20AC;? in each ward, and the district leaders will pick one for each town. The captains will be on the lookout for promising candidates as vacancies occur, and will propose names to the district leader, who will then forward the names to the county committee, which will interview prospects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel we have someone qualified, I think the county Democratic Party should stay neutral. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in them, how can we possibly put them in the voting booth on that ballot?â&#x20AC;? Over time, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the residents will start to trust our decisions on who weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re picking.â&#x20AC;? Already, county Rep. Beth Rosenthal, who has agreed to be District 7 leader, has proposed a candidate for a prospective vacancy for Roseboom town supervisor in the Nov. 6 election. Winchester has agreed to be District 2 leader (Butternuts, Morris and Pittsfield) and Kosmer in District 8 (Town of Otsego). Monday evening, Abbate was considering naming district leaders in

each of Oneontaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six wards, but in an interview Tuesday he was leaning toward one city leader â&#x20AC;&#x201C; someone like former mayor John Nader â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with ward captains, perhaps county Reps. Murphy and Kay Stuligross in their wards. In a followup interview, Abbate said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the county chair and village chairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is very simple; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finding the best candidates in every election to go before the Otsego County residents.â&#x20AC;? A Staten Island native, the new county chair got into politics at age 16, working on Abe Beameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign for New York City mayor. The next year, he worked on the campaign of a family friend, Bill Murphy, who was running for Staten Island district attorney, ending up as his campaign chair in reelection campaigns. His future wife Rosemarieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Marie Mauro (she and her husband later moved to the Town of Middlefield, and opened Video Depots in Cooperstown, Oneonta and Milford), was active in local politics, and working on campaigns gave him an excuse to spend time with his future wife. After graduating from New Dorp High School, he majored in poli-sci at Staten Island Communit College. He worked on Ed Kochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Mario Cuomoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayoral campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same age as Andrew Cuomo, he remembers the now-governor calling the Staten Island organization with marching orders. He never ran for elective office himself, but served as a state committeeman from the 63rd Assembly District in 1989-96.

When he retired to Cooperstown from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he supervised eight investigators in Manhattan and The Bronx â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after months spent on Ground Zero after 9/11. In 2009 he ran for Village Board, and his defeat taught him a lesson that has guided him since replacing Rich Campbell as village party chair in August 2009: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming from the city, and knowing the support you would get, running for trustee in the village, I saw there was no support.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew right away we needed more people to get involved,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed candidates to run for office. We needed money to run for elections.â&#x20AC;? He uses the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;teamâ&#x20AC;? often â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a successful political organization, people support each other. His first village election as chairman, in March 2010, Democrat Leslie Friedman, an attorney, was elected village justice, and Lynne Mebust was reelected trustee. But Trustee Jeff Katz lost his mayoral bid, and Sally Eldred lost her trustee bid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at it as a defeat,â&#x20AC;? said Abbate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The party took it pretty hard, but I saw that we won two positions, lost two positions.â&#x20AC;? By the next March, Abbate had recruited Dr. Walter Franck and Ellen Tillapaugh Kuch and Jim Dean, who along with incumbent Katz beat a strong Republican slate. In March 2012, village Republicans failed to field a slate. The Abbates live in Cooperstown with sons Richie, 11, and Dominic, 13.

Teen Would Be Freed

APPEAL/From B1 himself, and would face a maximum sentence of one year, four months to four years if reclassified as a youthful offender, the lawyer said. Pacherille has been in custody since the shooting, first at Bassett Hospital, then at the Otsego County Jail, then at the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Five Points Correctional Facility, Romulus, and most recently in the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, near Buffalo, (where Mark David Chapman, who shot John Lennon, was recently placed in a nearby cell.) Policelli anticipates he will argue the appeal soon after the first of the year before the state Supreme Court Appellate Division, Third Department, in Albany. The appeal is based on three points, each of which questions Otsego County Judge Brian Burnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to sentence Pacherille as an adult to up to 11 years in state prison; the teen is expected to be out in eight, or 2018. Judge Burns said he is prevented from commenting on the proceeding by the state Code of Judicial Conduct. In synopsis: â&#x20AC;˘ Point one argues that Burns, at the sentencing, said he had read all communication regarding the case, but had been unswayed and

was applying the law dispassionately. Later, in filing harassment charges against Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Tony, the judge said he considered a letter received from the father before the sentencing to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;an attempt to threaten his family and intimidate him.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No judge who legitimately believed that he was being threatened or otherwise improperly influenced by the defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family could possibly be expected to be fair-handed and impartial,â&#x20AC;? the appeal states. â&#x20AC;˘ Point two argues Burns was mistaken in believing that Pacherilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plea agreement with District Attorney John Muehl took youthful offender status off the table. Policelli states Burns misunderstood the plea and, further, as sentencing judge he would not have been bound by it anyhow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Such misapprehension of both the facts and the law taints the entire sentencing proceeding, reendering it invalid,â&#x20AC;? the appeal says. â&#x20AC;˘ Point three deals with acting Otsego County Court Judge Joseph F. Cawleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s April 14 denial of the firstlevel appeal. That judge also believed he did not have the authority to resentence Pacherille as a youthful offender, when in fact he did, the appeal argues.

The United States frigate Essex, Capt. Porter, came into the Delaware Bay on Monday last, from a successful cruise of 70 days. On the Banks of Newfoundland, he captured the British sloop of war Alert, of 20 guns (18-pound carronades) and 130 men, who had been sent out expressly for the purpose of capturing the Hornet. The action was very short; the Alert poured a broadside into the Essex, who gave her in return a discharge from her quarterdeck guns, and a volley of small arms, when the Alert struck her colours. The Alert had seven or eight men wounded; not one hurt upon the Essex. The Essex had the Alert in tow for several days when she disarmed, manned and sent her to St. Johns, Newfoundland as a Cartel, with prisoners. During the cruise, Capt. Porter captured, besides the Alert, a British transport, which he ransomed; burnt two brigs; and captured six merchant ships, in which he put prize masters and crews, and ordered them for the United States.

Miss Emily Nelson, of Bridgeport, CT., has long been a prominent educator of young ladies. We remember her when she was a little girl living in Hyde Park, where she and her brother afterwards kept a boarding school. Recently, Miss Nelson received a present from Merida, Yucatan, in the shape of an educated, jeweled bug. It has a harness of gold and is jeweled with precious stones, and is the gift of Signora Fuentes, of Merida, Yucatan, whose daughter, Senorita Evelie y Fuentes, has passed the last three years as a pupil at Miss Nelson’s seminary on Golden Hill. Her bestowal of the live, educated, jeweled bug as a gift is considered in Yucatan as a high distinction. The bugs are extremely difficult to educate and are looked upon by the lower classes as the particular property of royalty. Miss Nelson is very proud and justly very happy over her bug, and wears it constantly, while out driving or shopping. The insect is about the size of an ordinary black beetle. The coloring of the shell is a brilliant, sparkling Nile green, edged off with black. September 23, 1887

Mr. Olson defended the Indians, proud people who were not as blood-thirsty as imagined. Many interesting articles, which have been excavated by Mr. Olson and friends, were passed among the club members – pipes, points, sinker stones, arrowheads, drills, scrapers, stone gouge, beads, early pottery, etc. It was interesting to learn that Indians introduced tobacco to the white man.

10 YEARS AGO

Bassett Healthcare employees gathered Monday to watch construction crews raise the first beam of Bassett’s expansion plan into place atop the inpatient facility. The creation of a new fifth floor will house an expansion of the hospital’s critical care complex. The Bassett Healthcare Initiative, which brings cardiac surgery and angioplasty to the region, begins in early 2003. In the new facility, hospital patient rooms will be larger and there will be more private rooms. September 21, 2002

Robert A. Harlem, Sr., 86; Retired Supreme Ct. Judge

hen you drive by Goodyear Lake and see the autumn sunlight sparkling over the water, you can thank Robert A. Harlem Sr. On a Saturday morning in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s, the Goodyear Lake Association, which Harlem worked for as an attorney, called to report that, despite all attempts at negotiations, NYSEG was going to break the south dam on the lake. Monday morning, just as the crews were arriving at the dam, Harlem handed them a stay signed by state Supreme Court Judge Joseph P. Molinari, saving Goodyear Lake from becoming an overgrown gully. That was one of the many stories friends, associates

and family related when hearing of Harlemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012 in his winter residence of Venice, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great personal loss as well as a loss to the community,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bob was a great friend and a mentor to me. We played a fair amount of golf together. He performed my wedding ceremony. He was a willing and helpful adviser, a guy I could call.â&#x20AC;? Harlem was born on Flag Day, June 14, 1926, in Yonkers, to Helen (Goetz) and Leroy Harlem. His father died when he was young, leaving his mother to raise five children alone. Harlem joined the Army at the end of World War II and, after his discharge, a

friend got him a job at a law office in New York City. It was there, listening to the stories other lawyers told, that Harlem decided on his vocation. With help from the GI Bill and while working two jobs, Harlem got his B.A. in Plattsburgh at Champlain College, then one of the Associated Colleges of New York State, and his law degree from SUNY Albany. Upon graduation, he joined the Oneonta law firm of Harrington & Bookhout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prior to his ascendency to the bench, Bob was the premier trial lawyer in the area,â&#x20AC;? said Edward Gozigian of Cooperstown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to his extensive courtroom experience, and commanding presence, he was a superb jurist.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, his career spanned over six decades, and he was trying cases into his mid-80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What most people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about him was his sense of fun,â&#x20AC;? said county Judge Brian Burns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a judge and he had to be serious, but you could spend five hours out on the golf course with him and at the end, say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I wish we could do that all over again.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; After you talked with him, you always had a smile on your face.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss him because I could go to him and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What do you think?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d reply, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one of your best ideas.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said former mayor David W. Brenner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a gruff demeanor, but I always respected him. He would

always say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think we can do betterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I appreciated his frankness.â&#x20AC;? Harlem was Oneonta town attorney in the 1950s-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s.
