HERZIG TAKES OATH

AS ONEONTA MAYOR

A serious Gary Herzig, with his smiling wife Connie holding the Bible, is sworn in as mayor of Oneonta by City Judge Lucy Bernier. The ceremony, at about 6:40 p.m., may spell the end of 10 months of turmoil since the sudden passing of Mayor Dick Miller last Oct. 25. In remarks following the ceremony, the new mayor declared, "the challenges are many, but there is reason for optimism." And he ticked off a number of innovations. "You know as well as I do that Oneonta is a special place. Together, we can make it an even better place. I promise to work with you on that." (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
