Good more babies now breast-fed

In a rare instance of achieving a government goal before the deadline, health officials announced last week that more than three out of four new moms in the U.S. breast-feed their infants. ....more>>

  • Time for Hillary to call it quits
    Throughout her long, tortuous and often-torturous presidential campaign, we've wondered what Hillary Clinton, the junior senator from our state, would do if it became apparent that she would not be the Democratic Party's nominee.

  • Developer must have clear goals
    Well, we shall soon see how much of downtown Oneonta's malaise has been attributable to its downtown developer. This newspaper has been a frequent critic of Jeff House, who has held the position for the past 10 years. We have had a hard time understanding what he was doing to justify the salary that had grown to about $42,000 in the last year.

  • Cheers
    o ... To the organizers and participants of the annual Take Back the Night march in Oneonta on April 24. More than 100 people took part in the event aimed at raising awareness about sexual assault and domestic violence.

  • Focus on candidates, not friends
    The way we see it on the eve of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, there’s only one only useful thing to come out of the whole media-driven Barack Obama-Rev. Jeremiah Wright contretemps.

  • Be safe in the water
    Two recent events in the local area have emphasized the importance of water safety. First, there was the tragic death of 8-year-old Matthew Mundy, who fell into a pond in Otego a couple of weeks ago when he lost his grip while swinging on a rope.Then a father and son canoeing in the Susquehanna River in Oneonta were rescued from the water after their canoe hit a stump and overturned last weekend.

  • A sign of hope for ex-Bresee's
    For a while now, much of the talk regarding the former Bresee's complex has been on the damage the building has sustained, or how the old days of a single, downtown department store aren't coming back.

  • Grant may help issue of housing
    We've been hearing talk for years now about the lack of various kinds of housing in Otsego County, especially in the Oneonta area. With market forces at work, solutions have been hard to define, let alone institute.

  • Check won't solve bigger problems
    We're in a quandary about what to do with the tax rebate money we're getting from the government. Some of us will get $300, others $600, and still others $1,200. What to do, what to do, what to do? Should we get a tankful of gas, or a basket of groceries?

  • Cheers
    o "To organizers and participants in the third annual OH Fest. The day-long festival of games, food, crafts, activities and live music was deemed a success by students, area residents and local officials alike.
