Opinion

Independence is cornerstone of America

This editorial is printed annually in The Daily Star just before July 4 in honor of Independence Day. We love the fireworks, the barbecues, the day off from work, the patriotic speeches and the pride in our nation associated with Independence Day. Mostly, we love our country.....more>>

  • Senators need to put politics aside
    On Feb. 27, 1933, somebody burned down the Reichstag building in Berlin ... with less than salubrious results. The fire in the edifice where the German parliament met led to Adolf Hitler taking firm control of the country.

  • Celebrity trumped their talent
    Much has already been written and spoken about the recent deaths of four people known more for their celebrity than their talent. And it is without doubt that millions more words will be written and spoken about Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Billy Mays in the months and years to come.

  • Travels with Uncle Chet: Public option is a first step in health care
    COLUMBUS _ I heard the truck crunching gravel before I saw it idling down the driveway. It parked by the back door, and Uncle Chet got out. ``Down here!'' I hollered from the garden where Hon and I were weeding.

  • Cheers
    ... To the Oneonta Tigers for their ceremony honoring founders Sam Nader and Sid Levine before the 2009 season opener at Damaschke Field. Of course, this area owes the playing of professional baseball here to those two. The ceremony was a small way of honoring that decades-long legacy and their continued presence in the area.

  • Don't give up on cell coverage
    While we understand the reasons for the town of Oneonta Zoning Board of Appeals’ denial of a plan to site a Verizon Wireless cell tower near the National Soccer Hall of Fame, we hope this isn’t the last we hear of a plan to bring cell-phone coverage to the West End.

  • Backtracking: Macy's offers area sisters a chance to travel with Elsie
    Normally, I'm not one to give advice here, but this time I'll make an exception. Call them words to our recent high school and college graduates. In your endeavors when you're in the public eye, always strive to look, speak and do your best. You never know who may be watching you, and a good impression may bring many benefits later on.

  • Backtracking: Middleburgh farm was large producer of hops
    The Pindar Brothers were true holdouts in their business of growing hops in our region. It was the autumn of 1952 when the last harvest took place on the farm of William and the late Henry Pindar of Middleburgh. This was long after most other growers had given up on hops.

  • Barnes is the gold standard in PR field
    Over the last decade or so, it must have seemed to Maggie Barnes that my main ambition was to make her professional life as miserable as possible. Truth be known, it wasn't my main ambition. Just kind of a nice fringe benefit.

  • Repairs on power lines overdue

  • Musings of the Baggage Handler: Stumbling through...
    I was having dinner with my closest male friend, Rob, the other night and we started talking about relationships …as we often do.

  • Can't wait on fixing milk prices
    With wholesale milk prices paid to dairy farmers down about a third since a year ago, we're glad the politicians in Washington have noticed that dairy farmers are hurting. On Tuesday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said the government needed to offer more federal aid and proposed a way to do just that.

  • Continue anti-NYRI struggle
    Just when we thought it was safe to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of upstate New York ... we received the awful news. NYRI is back. In truth, this editorial should probably be read with the "bump, bump ... bump, bump" theme from "Jaws" in the background.
