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.....more>>

  • 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.
  •  Backtracking: Clocks strike controversy
    While not exactly a scientific fact, by mixing government with a community's pride in its street clocks, chances are good an explosion is bound to follow of sentiment.
  •  Backtracking: Area man was loved by some, hated by others
    Depending on who you talked to, Sherburn M. Becker was either a good neighbor or a bad neighbor during his time in South Worcester. Admired by some, loathed by others, Becker was certainly one of the most colorful figures ever to live in the hamlet.
  •  Backtracking: Circus was a major event
    Ever wonder what could bring Oneonta to a near standstill for a day in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries? Just bring the circus to town.
  •  Backtracking: Aviation pioneer, inventor lived in Fly Creek
    You know you're an aviation pioneer when your registered U.S. pilot's license is No. 2. For 17 years, Fly Creek was home to this pioneer, A. Leo Stevens.
  •  Backtracking: Butts block hit by fire in '54 1954
    Just as it is true that lightning can strike the same place twice, for Oneonta, fire can strike twice. It was 55 years ago this week that Oneonta experienced its worst fire in nearly 25 years when the Butts building at the western corner of Main and South Main streets was destroyed.
  •  Backtracking: Oneonta had brief fling with NY-Penn in 1924
    For sure, changes are in store for Oneonta Tigers baseball fans when the season begins on Friday, June 19. Under new ownership and management, among those changes will be a new picnic area for groups, planned beer sales and season-long radio broadcasts of the games. The aim of these changes is to generate community excitement and boost attendance.
  •  Backtracking: Baseball Hall to turn 70
    Believe it or not, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum will be celebrating the "Big 7-0" next week, on Friday, June 12. All are welcome to attend the birthday party in Cooperstown, and you can check www.baseballhalloffame.org for the details.
  •  Backtracking: Crews made quick work of Roundhouse upgrade
    In modern-day businesses that employ a lot of people, probably the most dreaded five words heard are: the computer system is down. Whether it's a system crash or a planned upgrade of technology, downtime is downtime, and the less of it there is, the better for business operations.
