LETTER from JIM FRANCIS Brooks Robinson Photo Recalls Best Play Ever To the Editor: Re: Brooks Robinson photo on recent front page: I watched a lot of baseball on TV around 1970. The single best play I ever saw was in the 1969 All-Star Game. Johnny Bench hit a rocket down the third-base line. Brooks dove flat out to glove it and threw the ball to first while airborne. It was high and a bit on the second-base side. Carl…
LETTER from BOB HARLEM Lack Of Energy Trumps ‘Economic Independence’ To the Editor: Adrian Kuzminski’s article on “Economic Independence” was very interesting. I’m happy to see that reality is setting in and there is an awareness that “until we begin to make products replacing at least some of those we import we will remain far from economic independence, and true prosperity will continue to elude us.” An economy based on “Beds, Meds and Eds,” is not sustainable. The “Beds” portion…

LETTER from DAVID HAYES Confederate Flag Putrid Reminder Racism Festers To the Editor, I read Jennifer Hill’s confederate flag story in its entirety and found the piece well written and sensitive to differing views. My objection is your newspaper’s implied endorsement of a hate symbol by front page placement. This was the standard held high by treasonous men who shot and killed U.S. Army soldiers. It remains a putrid reminder of this country’s festering racism, and was more recently displayed by…
LETTER from PAUL CONWAY Rebel Flag Ominous To Many; Do We Want It At Fairs? NO! To the Editor: Jennifer Hill’s article “… A Matter of Freedom,” raised the issue of whether Confederate flags should be marketed at county fairs such as ours, in Morris. One side of the issue is well stated there. The vendor quoted was a reasonable individual who articulated the rights of all citizens to symbolically express themselves with displays of flags. There is “more and…
COLUMN Home Rule In Constitution, But Limited By ADRIAN KUZMINSKI • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com I’ve been commenting in recent columns on the first two Principles of Sustainable Otsego: Sustainable Living and Economic Independence. In this column, I want to take up the third and last principle: Home Rule. “Home” is where we live with family, friends, and neighbors. Its scale is small enough to sustain in-depth relationships with people and places. Home has the capacity to inspire love, not least…
