Oneonta Democrats Seek To Dampen Competition

LETTER from JOSHUA BAILEY Oneonta Democrats Seek To Dampen Competition To the Editor: For years, the City of Oneonta has struggled to find passionate candidates in its local elections. Oftentimes, those in power have pushed individuals to run strictly to fill a seat, as evident by a handful stepping down after only one term. While I thank our entire Common Council for its service, Oneonta needs enthusiastic candidates who are committed to our future. 2019 is that year. In multiple…

Fine Food, Fun Food: Where Do You Get a Good Cone?

FINE FOOD, FUN FOOD Where’s Do You Get A Good Cone? Just because I’m an adult doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a delicious gooey sundae every so often! At Golden Guernsey, sundaes are generous with the toppings and have a flavor for every mood. I like to start with Perry’s black cherry ice cream, pour on the marshmallow and a little drizzle of strawberry, then top it all with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and a cherry on top! The healthiest…

Ever wonder why every gas station in Oneonta usually matches one another’s prices to the penny, rather than engaging in healthy competition? This would seem to be REAL collusion happening out in the open every day, as opposed to the fake collusion being touted in Washington D.C. Just yesterday…

Knocked Off Ballot, Brothers/Candidates Still Love Oneonta

EDITORIAL Knocked Off Ballot, Brothers/Candidates Still Love Oneonta Oneonta’s Roberts brothers have a point. Actually, they have a lot of points. Walking down Oneonta’s Main Street sidewalk after an interview the other day, it was either Nate or Eric who pointed at the sidewalk and said, “That’s what we mean.” He was pointing at a trail of dog droppings. Four days before, someone had vomited in front of a nearby establishment. The vomit was still there. And cigarette butts –…

Local Police Exempt From Mug-Shot Ban, State’s Expert Avers

COLUMN Local Police Exempt From Mug-Shot Ban, State’s Expert Avers Editor’s Note: This is reprinted from the June edition of NewsBeat, a publication of the New York Press Association. One provision of the recently passed state budget has been interpreted by many as a “ban” on police agencies releasing booking photographs.
