On the Right Side: Right-wing will regain advantage

It's hard to believe this column represents four years of writing for The Daily Star. That's more than 100 columns! I think I'll try for one more year so that I can get through the 2010 elections and celebrate all the election victories that will put the conservatives back in power, hopefully in both houses.....more>>

  • Backtracking: Supersonic boom disrupted Oneonta in April 1959
    If you were jolted out of bed or had a bit of a scare put into you at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 28, 1959, you were getting a local welcome to the day's new "sound of freedom" " the supersonic boom.

  • Gas-drilling rules need overhaul
    Development of the Marcellus Shale could provide enormous quantities of cleanburning natural gas with great economic benefits to New York state. It should be possible to drill for gas while safeguarding our land, water and air, and minimizing risk to individuals. Unfortunately, the state is heading down a path that will neither maximize the benefits nor minimize the risks associated with natural gas drilling.
  •  Backtracking: Oneonta man helped bring down Scarface
    When it came to bringing down the infamous 1920s gangster Al Capone, a former Oneontan did his part. Chauncey W. Herrick was not one of Elliot Ness' 11 "Untouchables," but nevertheless played a role in sending Capone to Alcatraz prison in 1931.

  •  Backtracking: Unatego school was dedicated forty years ago
    Hopefully the students and staff in the Unatego Central School District are feeling better after a few days off from a surge in illnesses. They have a bit of a milestone to mark on Tuesday. It was Nov. 17, 1969, when the Unatego Junior-Senior High School was dedicated and the public was invited to an open house at the new facility.
  • My Turn: Being a local fan is hard in times like these
    This week's "My turn" column is by Joseph C. Stillman, an Oneonta-based producer and director and founder of La Paloma Films. He is also a local sports and arts fan.
  •  In new rules, DEC should ban 'fracking'
    More than three years ago, I said energy production was becoming the overriding issue of the early 21st century, and that this region was smack-dab in the middle of the battleground. And that was before drilling for natural gas in Marcellus shale surfaced as perhaps the biggest bout yet between energy producers, state regulators and the people.
