Many Dangers Found At Hotel City, Landlords Return To Court By LIBBY CUDMORE ONEONTA – At 195 Main St., five of the 40 apartments don’t have kitchen appliances. Many are without operating smoke detectors. Window panes are cracked and fixed with tape. And suspended ceiling tiles cover the sprinkler system, rendering it inoperable in a fire. “There are still considerable violations,” said Mayor Gary Herzig. “We have an obligation to make sure everybody in the city lives in a building…

Fighting For ‘Purity’ Always Preferable To The Alternatives To the Editor: Mike Zagata’s (Jan. 10) “Renewable’s Not Ready To Replace Gas” is a prime example of “Reductio ad Absurdum”…treating a vital but complex issue as if it were all or nothing. Until we reach heaven, nothing is 100-percent pure, and informed advocates of wind, tide, or solar power don’t say they are. But compared to fossil fuels, they are overwhelmingly less toxic. Pitting “Climate Change” in quotes, as Trump also does,…
It’s Only Sensible To Lock Our Doors – And Borders To the Editor: Where do we live? On a park bench, covered with newspaper, open to the elements with no place to call home? Some do, but not all. Most, in fact, live in a building called a house – with walls, doors and windows. Our own private place of refuge. Do we leave those doors and windows open or closed? Do those doors and windows have locks? What, or…

How am I going to understand…
‘Uxurious’ Misread Fateful Visit Painted As Figure Of Fun, Susan B. Anthony Went On To Make History Editor’s Note: Here is The Freeman’s Journal Feb. 9, 1855, account – in prose and poetry – of Susan B. Anthony’s appearance in Cooperstown, to be commemorated with a State Historical Marker that has just arrived at the village’s First Presbyterian Church. The tone marks the flippant attitude in some quarters at that time. Mr. Editor: Your readers should be apprised that last…
Majority Senate Democrats Begin Shutting Out GOP Voices And so it begins. Day one of the new Democrat majority in the state Senate began, in many ways, as expected. A new leader was elected (from just outside New York City) and immediately outlined the policies the Democrats would be pursuing in the coming year. This is how a change in majority works, and I take no issue with that. However, I was deeply concerned on several fronts. I have consistently…
MLK Day Mementos 2 Historic Markers Commemorate Freedom By JIM KEVLIN COOPERSTOWN – Just in time for Martin Luther King Day, two state Historical Markers commemorating the United States’ march toward freedom – and Otsego County’s – have arrived at First Presbyterian Church here. One marks Susan B. Anthony’s Feb. 9, 1855, appearance in a building where the church’s chapel is now. During her visit, she formed a local committee to advocate for the women’s right to vote. The second commemorates…
Editorial for January 18, 2019 Andela, Red Shed Show Entrepreneurial Mettle You may have noticed that Dec. 15 piece in the New York Times, “The Hard Truths of Trying to Save the ‘Rural’ Economy.” In it, reporter Eduardo Porter wrote: “I’ve lived most of my life in big cities. I don’t pretend to understand what it’s like to live in a small town or a family farm, or how it feels when all the jobs in a community seem to be…
