Red Shed Brewery’s Mix Includes Music, Trivia Prize-Winning Brewskies By LIBBY CUDMORE • from SUMMER DREAMS COOPERSTOWN David Olson calls the Red Shed Brewery’s Otsego Golden Ale a “quit your job” beer. “My wife Suzanne and I had been living in Pittsburgh and we would come up to see her father, Jack Hasbrouck, who made home-brewed beer,” he said. “We wanted to move closer to family, but when I had that Otsego Golden Ale, I thought, ‘We could sell this.’” The expanded…

from ZACHARY ALDRIDGE Article Complicit In Suffering Of Native People To the Editor: In the May 23-24 editions of your newspapers, Jim Kevlin wrote that “paddlers in the 59th annual General Clinton Regatta can compete with a clear conscience” because the native inhabitants of a single village, Onaquaga, had deserted it.

FINE, FUN FOOD Veal, Spiced Duck At Horned Dorset The Husband and I had the pleasure of dining at The Horned Dorset last week. It was everything everyone said it would be – great food, great service, elegant atmosphere, pricey and well worth every cent. To start they serve a warm crock of homemade cheddar spread (a secret recipe they have made for 42 years) and homemade crackers. Then a salad course with lettuces, yellow beets, sunchokes. We both took…

The View From Fly Creek If Facts Can’t Defuse Deniers, What Can? ‘What is Truth?” Pontius Pilate famously asked. Lately, it seems a bigger question than ever. If, like me, you surf between conservative and liberal websites, Fox News and CNN/MSNBC, talk radio and PBS, Sean Hannity and Alan Chartock, you know that you’re getting radically different, irreconcilable versions of the truth on virtually any subject. It’s scary. The other day, driving down Fly Creek valley, it was Glenn Beck…
