Editorial “They Knew”

Written By Editor on 11/30/17 | 11/30/17

The wave of sex scandals pouring out of Washington and Hollywood doesn’t seem to be ending soon. Every day another powerful figure is exposed for inappropriate behavior. Usually these are actions that went on for months or years. Often those around the figure had a good knowledge of what was happening behind the scenes.

In fact-- one phrase keeps coming up. “It was an open secret,” say industry insiders. “Oh, everyone knew.” Some victims feared their jobs and felt they could not come forward. Other bigwigs had close financial or personal ties with the likes of the aggressors.

How could everyone “know” about these issues and still not have them come to light for years?

This question reminds me a lot about Schoharie County’s situation. One of the most common comments I received on our SALT expose was “we figured” or “I thought so.” Similar feedback on the Birches project.

Think back to the major controversies and scandals of the last several decades. They’re usually dragged out over time or due to someone not giving up (paging Gene Milone). Not once in twenty years before this paper could I think of a major scandal being broken by the Cobleskill paper. The ties of financial dealings and quid pro quo left local readers in the dark. Instead of leading the charge against corruption and toward transparency instead this County often floundered and fell prey to charlatans because the guard dog was asleep. True reformers were attacked on the editorial page while several key companies and families skated with nary a negative word.

The people of this County deserve better. In any way, large or small, we strive to fill that role.

SUNY Falls to MCLA 73-68

Written By Editor on 11/19/17 | 11/19/17

North Adams, MA- Karina Mattera scored 19 points and Emily Moulton knocked down the game winning basket with 24 seconds remaining as MCLA held off a heroic effort from Cobleskill's sophomore guard Addy Lawson, Cooperstown, N.Y., Milford High School,  in a 73-68 win in the Amsler Campus Center Gym.  The game marked the season opener for both programs.

After leading by as many as 19 in the first half and owning a 43-29 edge at halftime, the Trailblazers let Cobleskill inch back into the contest in the third quarter.  The Fighting Tigers would cut the deficit to 58-47 heading to the fourth and then rallied behind Lawson.  Lawson scored 13 of her game high 32 points in the fourth quarter.  With 52 seconds remaining, she drilled her fifth three pointer of the night to pull within 68-66, then stole the inbounds pass and her layup knotted the score at 68-68 forcing a Trailblazer timeout.  MCLA's Mattera drove to the hoop but missed, however L'Rae Brundige pulled down the board.  She would miss her attempt and Moulton corralled the ball.  With 24 seconds left, the lone senior on MCLA's roster swished home a ten foot jumper making it 70-68 and forcing Cobleskill to call timeout.

The Fighting Tigers sophomore guard Shaliyah Graham, Bronx, N.Y. Martin Luther King High School, would drive the lane out of the timeout, however Moulton stepped in front and drew the offensive foul giving possession back to MCLA with now just 13 seconds left to play.  Forced to foul, MCLA sent Mckenzie Robinson to the free throw line.  She sank both attempts making it a two possession game.  Cobleskill's Lawson would get called for a travelling violation out of a double team in essence sealing the win for the Trailblazers.

In the opening half, Mattera was outstanding collecting 12 first half points as MCLA built their early 19 point edge.  Lawson scored the final five points of the half to keep the Tigers within reach.

Mattera would end with 19 points on 6-15 shooting.  She went 2-3 from beyond the arc.  Moulton just missed notching a double double ending with 11 points and a team best 9 rebounds.  She was a perfect 3-3 from the floor and 5-6 from the free throw line.  Sam Gawron ended with 13 points with a pair of triples.  Brundige came off the bench to score 10 points and grab 7 rebounds.  Robinson ended with 7 points and 6 assists.

MCLA shot 37% from the floor and withstood a 7-30 showing in the closing twenty minutes of action.  
Cobleskill's Lawson was 12-27 from the floor.  She went 5-11 from deep for her 32 point effort.  She also filled the stat sheet with 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals.  Lawson was the only Fighting Tiger in double figures.  Sophomore guard, Erica Cabrera, Middletown, N.Y., Burke Catholic High School, and Shaliyah Graham each had 9 points in defeat.  

The Fighting Tigers shot just 36% from the floor and committed 20 turnovers in the loss.

Cobleskill will next be in action on Friday November 17th when they travel to New York, N.Y. for the opening round of the Hunter College Tip-off Tournament where they will face Olivet College with tip-off scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

This is not a good time of the year to be a turkey.  I don’t know where or when the tradition of having turkey for the holidays started but I know it wasn’t the Pilgrims that started it.  They had venison, duck, goose, oysters and fish.  I’ve never seen a mention of turkey.  Turkeys weren’t as numerous as they are today and were about as wily as any wild creature can be.  Slim breasted and thin thighed, dressed out they didn’t yield as much protein as the average rotisserie chicken of today and yet one of our far distanced ancestors saw potential and started genetically modifying the critters.  The biggest males were mated with the biggest females and the process of creating today’s oversized bags of protein began.  They bred out the camouflage brown and replaced it with easy to see white.  The breast was developed until the bird took on the appearance of a nineteen fifties starlet  and they bred the intelligence out of the critter until it had the IQ of a loaf of white bread.  They raised millions of them and then dropped the price per pound just before the festive season so that price per pound of protein can’t be beat. 

This is not a good time of the year to be a turkey.  Being by nature carnivorous, it’s hard to pass up this large lump of dopamine, especially when it is packaged and labeled Butterball.  I am by nature a very kind hearted person and have a hard time killing any of God’s creatures but as a small child I swore that I would have no qualms about eating anything that would eat me.  Having been chased by a very large turkey that I swear had fangs on a neighbor’s farm when I was a youngster leaves me ready and willing to chomp down on any of that bird’s ancestors I come across.  The turkey has become the centerpiece of Thanksgiving.  It has been so for most of my family history.  There were turkeys for Christmas too but occasionally those were replaced by ham.  Thanksgiving always starred turkey, the bigger the better.  My father would pick out the Thanksgiving bird, usually the only time he did any grocery shopping.  He would get the largest bird he could find and pick up a gallon of Mogan David wine and his part of the feast was done.  Mom would stuff the bird into the old blue enameled roasting pan and pop it into the oven before breakfast and then spent the rest of the morning preparing the feast.  Around noon, the relatives would start to arrive, the uncles lugging six packs of Genesee and Utica Club, the aunts carrying bowls of their special contributions to the feast.  The kids went out to play, the Dads gathered in the living room with the six packs and the Moms bustled around the kitchen and dining room.  All preparations completed, the kids were called in and sat around the kids table, the Dads came in from the living room and took their place around the adults table.  The Moms served the kids table first then took their places at the big table and my father, unaccustomed to public speaking, gave a rather stiff grace and an accounting of all our blessings and then the feasting began.

May your house be filled with laughter and love on Thanksgiving and many happy memories stored away.  If your Thanksgiving is lonely, may you feast on the memories of Thanksgivings Past and may both your hearts and bellies be filled.
     Thought for the week—Be thankful that you’re not a turkey!
     Until next week, may you and yours be happy and well.

Women's College Basketball: SUNY Cobleskill Loses 77-70 to Olivet College at Hunter College Tip-off Tournament

New York, N.Y.:  The SUNY Cobleskill women’s basketball team took to the road on Friday afternoon to drop a 77-70 decision to the Comets of Olivet College from Olivet, Mich., in the opening round of the 2017 Hunter College Tip-off Tournament hosted by the Hawks at their own Hunter Sportsplex. With the defeat the Fighting Tigers fall to 0-2 overall on the season while the Comets open the year at 1-0.

In a game that was highlighted by extensive scoring runs by both teams the Fighting Tigers trailed 41-38 at halftime then stumbled out of the box in the third quarter to fall behind by 13 after the Comets score the first 10 points of the stanza at 51-38 with 6:56 to play in the frame.

However the Orange & Black roared back to close out the on a 23-to-5 run to take a 61-58 lead on the a three-pointer by sophomore guard Shaliyah Graham, Bronx, N.Y., Martin Luther King High School, with 38 seconds left in the quarter.

In the fourth quarter, once again, the Fighting Tigers came out slow as turnovers allowed the Comets to move out to a 65-61 lead which they expanded they built to eventually moved to 70-65.

But once again Cobleskill came roaring back as sophomore guard scored Addy Lawson, Cooperstown, N.Y., Milford High School, scored five points including a three-pointer to tie the contest at 70-70 with 2:16 remaining in regulation.

Regretfully that would be all the offense for the Fighting Tigers as a series of turnovers, defensive lapses and missed shots plagued them as Olivet scored the final seven points to ice the victory and move to the championship game on Saturday. 

Addy Lawson was once again spectacular in defeat for the Orange & Black with a team high of 23 points to go with nine rebounds, three assists and four steals while Shaliyah Graham returned to her hometown to score 13 points, take down five  rebounds and pass out three assists. The team also received a strong effort from sophomore forward Gabby Muraczewski, Hamilton Square, N.J. Sothern Regional High School, who hit for nine points while grabbing a career high of 13 rebounds.

Cobleskill will next play on Saturday morning in the tournament’s consolation round versus Baypath University at 11:00 a.m.
