Cobleskill Men's Lax Falls to Poly

Written By Editor on 4/8/18 | 4/8/18



Marcy, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill men’s lacrosse team suffered through a long afternoon at SUNY Polytechnic Institute on Saturday as the Fighting Tigers dropped a 15-6 North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) action. With the loss Cobleskill falls to 3-4 overall including a 0-2 mark in NEAC action while the Wildcats are now 7-1 overall with a 2-1 mark in league play.

The Cobleskill defense proved little opposition for the host Wildcats early on as the home team held a 9-1 advantage at the half from which they never looked back. SUNY Poly outshot the Fighting Tigers by a 41-28 margin on the day while controlling the face-off circle by a 12-10 margin and the ground ball battle by a 46-34 tally.

Senior attackman Jeremy Mowrey, Johnstown, N.Y., Johnstown High School/Herkimer Community College, proved to be the team’s lone bright spot on the afternoon with two goals, two assists and four ground balls picked up.

The Orange & Black will return to action on Wednesday April 11th when they host the Wildcats of Cazenovia College in NEAC action at the Soccer/Lacrosse complex beginning at 4:00 p.m.

SUNY Women's Softball Falls to Wilson

Chambersburg, Pa.: The SUNY Cobleskill women’s softball close out their North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) road trip to Pennsylvania on Sunday losing a pair of game with the host Phoenix of Wilson College by scores of 9-0 and 9-1 in league action. With the blank the Fighting Tigers move to 2-8 overall on the year including a 2-4 mark in NEAC play while Wilson moves to 6-8 overall with a 4-0 conference record.

In the opener the Fighting Tigers trailed 2-0 going into the bottom of the fourth inning when home team erupted for seven runs to put the game in the win column.

Offensively junior second baseman Georgianna Crisci, Walden, N.Y., Valley Central High School, was a bright spot for the visitors going 2-for-2 with a triple and a single as Cobleskill could manage only three hits in the game.

In the second game the host Phoenix scored early and often jumping out to a 7-1 lead after two innings from which they never looked back on their way to a 9-1 victory allowing the Orange & Black only five hits in the contest.

Junior shortstop Nicole Flint, Union Springs, N.Y., Cato-Meridian High School/Monroe Community College, doubled home Cobleskill’s only run as part of a 1-for-2 effort at the plate.

The Fighting Tigers are next scheduled to take the field on Tuesday April 10 when they host the Mountaineers of Southern Vermont College at Fighting Tiger Park for a non-league doubleheader beginning at 3:00 p.m.

Dog Obedience Courses Added to Meet Demand at C-GCC

HUDSON – There’s something afoot among lovers of our four-legged friends: a rising interest in canine-training courses.

“Dogs are trending, so to speak,” said Robert Bodratti, director of Community Services at Columbia-Greene Community College, “and we’ve seen community demand for training classes rise accordingly.”

Bodratti said C-GCC has added three new dog-training classes in the Spring and Summer to accommodate inquiries from local dong owners. Taught by instructor Edith Rodegerdts, a veterinary technician and evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen Title through the American Kennel Club and with Therapy Dogs International, Beginning Dog Obedience, a six-week class held from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the lobby of the C-GCC Arts Center, will be held in the spring beginning on Monday, April 2, and again during the Summer I session, starting Wednesday, May 23 at 5 p.m.

This course teaches the basic commands, including sit, stay, come, stand for examination and grooming, down, and heel on lead. AKC competition rules are also taught for those who wish to pursue obedience titles.

In addition, Therapy Dog Preparation / Canine Good Citizen is a new class beginning on Monday April 2, continuing for six weeks from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. This class prepares dogs for therapy evaluations and will fine-tune a dog’s obedience skills.

Pre-registration is required; for more information, call the Office of Community Services, weekdays, at (518) 828-4181, ext. 3342.

A variety of other topics in courses include Fitness, Finance, Retirement, Eating and Sustaining Locally, Muffins and Quick Breads, and Real Estate Deals, Buying and Selling, are also being offered in the coming months at C-GCC; please visit our non-credit course listings page for more information.

Editorial: Sympathy for Tague's Pauses

Written By Editor on 3/30/18 | 3/30/18


Sympathy for Tague's Pauses

Well, you've probably heard it by now. One assembly candidate excels at publicity well above the other two. Both Aidan O'Connor and Wes Laraway's more conventional campaigns have reached thousands across the district.

Chris Tague has reached over a million across the country.

Our paper uploaded parts of interviews from all three candidates with Don Mathisen at WIOX Roxbury public radio on our YouTube channel. This one about candidate Tague's budget reform ideas (https://youtu.be/eaQD2A7NzTs) made it all the way to top and became viral.

Mr. Tague's replies are not the most polished to say the least. His breathy pauses and sighing for recollection sound like a nightmare. The one where you enter into class in your underwear or forget that there is an important test coming up. Mr. Tague's struggles to talk about the basic parts of New York State budget became a punchline rather than a proper debate.

Copies of the video made it to a prominent YouTube channel, then Howard Stern this week, then a variety of Twitter accounts, including an Assemblyman from Manhattan, Politico writers (twice), a sports site, a Times Union writer, and others. All in all, the collective videos and articles totaled over a million views and quite a few comments. It must be painful for Mr. Tague to have to hear it on repeat.

But perhaps we shouldn't judge Mr. Tague too harshly.

Sometimes public speaking isn't always easy. Knowing that there are a hundred people in front of you or thousands of people listening on the airwaves can cause someone to freeze up. It's not surprising that someone fresh into political office like Mr. Tague would be at a loss of words-- by naming himself the nominee, he never had to go through a stringent primary process and the practice it brings.

In addition, we see a bit of a disconnect in how we view our candidates. From listening to the interviews and watching the campaigns of all three candidates there is a war for the soundbite. Both Wes Laraway and Aidan O'Connor seem more prepared, able to fit a one-liner in with a proposed policy solution. Chris Tague's campaign pitch seems to show someone thinking on the fly and later doing research and practicing. It's happened to all of us, although never on such a large stage. Readers need to consider the priority that any candidate places on policy ideas and speaking prep. Just because Mr. Tague did not do so two months into his campaign is only one part of a much broader story.

We can't blame Mr. Tague for freezing up. Inexperience often does that. We're still looking for how he will be able to express himself in the Assembly if voters give him the chance.

NYS Comptroller Tom Dinapoli Endorses Aidan O’Connor Jr. For Assembly District 102 Special Election

Written By Editor on 3/26/18 | 3/26/18

New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli has endorsed Aidan O’Connor,
Jr., in his race to represent the 102nd District of the New York State
Assembly at a rally in Athens, New York, on Sunday, March 25, 2018.
The seat will be decided in a Special Election on Tuesday, April 24th.


“I know what it takes to be a good Assemblyman,” said DiNapoli,
“because I represented the 16th District on Long Island for twenty
years before I became Comptroller of New York State in 2007.  You need
tremendous energy, love talking with people, be highly ethical and
work with your colleagues to build consensus and find solutions.
Aidan has all those qualities, and more. He knows his district
intimately, has experience in the Greene County Legislature as the
Minority Leader and he’s worked with first responders in every
community as a flight paramedic.  He’s clearly the most qualified
candidate for the job and I’m proud to give him my wholehearted
endorsement.”

“I’m deeply honored to receive this endorsement from one of my heroes,
Comptroller Tom DiNapoli” said O’Connor.  “For the past decade, he’s
focused on finances in New York and done an extraordinary job of
supporting not only the State government, but County and local
governments, as well as individuals.   New Yorkers know Tom is looking
out for their pensions, helping guide local governments off of shaky
fiscal ground and he’s always there to help. That’s why when he ran
for his second term as Comptroller in 2014, Tom was the top
vote-getter in Greene County on the winning statewide ticket!  That’s
why he’s my hero and that’s why I’m so proud to receive his
endorsement!”

Student Arrested After Masonville Bomb Scare

Written By Editor on 3/8/18 | 3/8/18

On Tuesday afternoon, the Delaware County Sheriff's Office School Resource Officer assigned Masonville, NY, B.O.C.E.S. Harrold Campus was advised that a threatening note, indicating the presence of a bomb, was discovered within classroom shortly before afternoon dismissal.  The B.O.C.E.S. Campus was immediately evacuated and all students were transported to their home schools.

A subsequent search of the B.O.C.E.S. Campus, conducted by Delaware County Sheriff's Deputies and members of the New York State Police, including New York State Police bomb detection canine “Loc”, revealed no evidence of an explosive device on that campus. 

After further investigation by Delaware County Sheriff's Office Investigators, a sixteen year old male B.O.C.E.S. student from Unatego was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Investigators and charged with one count of Falsely Reporting an Incident in the Second Degree, a Class E Felony.

The student was arraigned in the Town of Meredith Court Wednesday evening and was released on recognizance pending his re-appearance in that Court on a future date.

Speaking on the arrest, Sheriff Craig DuMond remarked “parents need to take time and have meaningful discussions with their children regarding threats being made toward our schools.  All threats, whether serious or not, will be taken very seriously by law enforcement and will result in criminal charges in addition to school sanctions”.

Editorial: Central Bridge, Promises, and the Assembly

Written By Editor on 3/6/18 | 3/6/18

I like hamlets. I mean, I really like hamlets. Perhaps it was from my high school days of bicycling between Middleburgh and Breakabeen and seeing the beauty of the Schoharie Valley, but there’s just something about them that carries a special fascination for me. I travel through a series on my paper route each week, and from Charlotteville to Fultonham and everywhere in between there’s a certain wonder for me. 

On page B1 my father wrote a story about Central Bridge’s progress over the last several years. Central Bridge is a good, yet recovering part of the County. Between my own time in the pint-sized community and tales from my friend Bill Kinisky in his years of service there after Hurricane Irene, I’ve learned a lot.

There’s some positive momentum there, but seemingly more light than heat. SALT is attempting to salvage its reputation by hanging its hat on a number of projects spearheaded by other agencies. The Land Bank is but one good example. In addition, “program” and “administration” fees should be watched for SALT’s well-worn reputation for misappropriation. Its recent partnership with Central Bridge and the Town of Schoharie shows some progress but unless administered correctly, may be one of the dozens of economic studies and public information input sessions that led nowhere in this County over the last two decades. Will the current photo-philes follow through with grandiose promises or leave the Civic Association and community partners hanging?

Often the largest barometer of success is simply to do something. All of the surveys in the world won’t make the same difference as a single filled storefront or new public service building. 

The page A1 news of the Hoober feed grant is, simply put, amazing. Senator Seward’s office went above and beyond in acquiring the $200,000 grant for the rail line expansion is much needed and may be another catalyst in an already positive movement on site.

However, it isn’t means for grandstanding. Latching onto the work of Senator Seward’s office, it’s become a political event for Supervisor and Assembly candidate Chris Tague while Schoharie and Central Bridge are still hurting. 

Having worked with Senator Seward on several grant projects through the years I observed two important details: 1.) the Senator’s office usually does the legwork the local politicians take credit for and 2.) a photo op for a grant that hasn’t spent a dime yet is bad juju. Part of the reason many of the projects here in Middleburgh worked was because (with the exception for the Valley Market) we never held pomp and circumstance until the very end. Far too much can happen between now and opening, especially if an important event is treated as a political stunt when the actual administration and appropriation of a grant hasn’t even begun.

I know that Supervisor Tague joined the SALT Board of Directors in the runup to the Assembly campaign and that each are looking for public relations wins as promises remain unmet. Candidate Tague promised Central Bridge a new firehouse, water and sewer upgrades, and the moon beyond. Former Supervisor Gene Milone, County Administrator Steve Wilson, County Board Chair Earl VanWormer, and more put in place funding for infrastructure improvements and the feed plant. 

Promises are great, especially when a community is in need of a win. However, I think it’s important for residents of Central Bridge, Schoharie as a whole, and the 102nd Assembly District to ask candidate Tague:

“Where’s the beef?”
