LETTER from ANDREW McLAREN Not Every Client Can Be Top Model To the Editor: I have known Victoria Pressly since July 2012. She was professionally known as Victoria Talbot back then. She was recommended to me by my former acting agent Noel Palm. He told me if I hire her she would get me a lot of good press which would help advance my career in showbiz. I was on a prime time NBC show called “Stars Earn Stripes” and…

EDITORIAL NAYSAYERS NEED TO BE AYE-SAYERS If Not Constitution Pipeline, Then What? As any one of you who have been there know, Owego’s a delightful community, rich with history – Belva Lockwood, the first woman presidential candidate, taught there. Fine mansions line the Susquehanna River. There’s a funky, arts-oriented downtown. A half-block off Main and Front streets, however, you see the rot. Solid homes are in disarray; when the money’s not there, maintenance is the first thing to go. There…
COLUMN WHERE NATURE SMILES Year After Moving To Ohio, Reflections On Cooperstown By CATHE ELLSWORTH • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com It was a year ago last week that we left our home of 36 years in Cooperstown to move to a new home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. We left behind the house which the he-we’s grandparents built for $5,000 in 1912. Though the years, four generations of the Ellsworth family lived at 105 Pioneer St. But now the family has indeed…

LETTER from ADRIAN KUZMINSKI There Is No Gay Lifestyle, And No Straight Lifestyle To the Editor An earlier column of mine, “Flying the Flag,” generated some strong responses, mostly private. Some friends were outraged, saying that I lent credibility to homophobic attitudes by citing a comment a community member made about “gay lifestyle.” That was not my intent, but it clearly had that effect in too many minds, which I deeply regret. The idea of a “gay lifestyle” is as…
LETTER from CHIP NORTHRUP Protocol Directs: Don’t Put Private Flag On Public Pole To the Editor: I was so flummoxed over the slavery flag issue that I almost overlooked the other flags. Public flag protocol is governed by established tradition and state law, not by local plebiscites or whims. If any flag goes up on a public flagpole, it should be the national flag, then the state flag, then a municipal flag. A municipal flagpole is not a sign board for…
BOUND VOLUMES Sept. 13, 2019 200 YEARS AGO The inhabitants of Texas, disappointed in the hope of being included within the territories of the United States, by the recent treaty between our government and that of Spain, have declared themselves independent of the Spanish crown, and state that they have “prepared themselves to meet and firmly to sustain, any conflict in which this declaration may involve them.” Died: In this village on Wednesday last, Ellen, an infant daughter of Mr.…
CLICK FOR TEXT OF FERC ORDER Constitution Pipeline Lives, FERC Decides DEC Decision On Stream Beds Overturned By JIM KEVLIN • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com The Constitution Pipeline is back from what many thought was the dead. Two weeks ago, FERC – the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission – issued an order that allows the 125-mile Constitution to proceed without the water-quality permits denied in April 2016 by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The water-quality permits were necessary for the…
FUNDRAISING UNDERWRITES LESSONS Tennis Club Goes Private, Aims To Train The Future By JENNIFER HILL • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com ONEONTA – In 2017, Phyllis Orlowski discovered a worrisome trend in Oneonta in 2017: not many kids knew or were learning how to play tennis. There was no equipment, like racquets, balls and ball hoppers available and there was no motivation to even plat the sport. In July, Oneonta High School’s Varsity Tennis coach, who commutes from Cooperstown, she began reversing…
