The news of his passing was delayed due to the remoteness of…
from WALTER OLINSKY Is Anyone Doing Anything About High Local Gas Prices? To the Editor: Ever wonder why the price of gasoline in Oneonta is usually higher than in surrounding counties? 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…
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 –…
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. But state officials have since clarified it’s not an outright ban, and local police retain a great deal of discretion in how they handle mugshots. The measure in question,…
From SIGURD C. “ZIGGY” RAHMAS Impeachment Would Be Good For Nation; Delgado Shouldn’t Resist Initiating Steps To the Editor: This is a copy of a letter I sent to Congressman Antonio Delgado. • Dear Congressman Delgado, It was a pleasure talking with you at the Middleburgh Town Hall. I was the person who asked the first question. We have the same goals, just a different approach. I brought up the idea that an impeachment inquiry will prevent President Trump from…

from SETH CLARK Build Future On Student, Resident Collaboration To the Editor: Last week, I wrote to this newspaper to report at least 58 Oneonta stores and restaurants have closed down in the past three years. These establishments are NOT being replaced at nearly the rate at which we are losing them, thus creating an unsustainable situation. That calls for an “all hands on deck” attempt at working together to clear the air of a fog of blame that pervades…
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…
