Caz College lawsuit over Christakos Field fence is heavy-handed, unfriendly, confrontational
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: Cazenovia College asked the state supreme court to reject a decision by the village zoning board of appeals requiring the college to seek approval to build a fence around its new turf field ... The attempt to evade review and push through the fence plan is unfriendly and confrontational, contemptuous both of abutting neighbors and the village at large.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear friends and neighbors: It has been a privilege to serve you as the village of Cazenovia mayor for the past two years. I ask for your support and your vote on June 18 so that I might continue in that role.
Thank you, Vicki Reutter, and enjoy your retirement

Homage to Bette McNear Campbell, former Cazenovia community leader
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: My mom, Bette McNear Campbell, a former Cazenovia community leader, died at the age of 89 last month in Delaware. We spent many years in Cazenovia while growing up in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Mom and dad, Jim McNear, started the Hi Neighbor paper from our kitchen, before moving it to an office behind the Chocolate Shop.
Representing quite well

It’s time to move the brewery project forward
EDITORIAL
The May 6 village board public hearing on the Empire brewery proposal was the most interesting and illuminating to date. After listening to Katleski’s presentation and then reviewing all the studies, drawings, photos and other new information in the planning board’s Empire Brewing Company files, our conclusion is that all the major concerns and issues raised in the past three months have been more than adequately addressed, and this project will be a benefit to the community.
Brewery will benefit Cazenovia community
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: I am a close neighbor of the proposed brewery on Route 13. My dog and I walk on the trails at Lorenzo and Fairchild Hill every morning and most afternoons. And while my morning view to the south will be a bit different once the brewery is built and the hops are growing, I am firmly convinced that this change will benefit the Cazenovia community.
AD team thanks community for support
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: The Cazenovia Academic Decathlon Team would like to thank the following businesses and individuals for their generous support. Without the donations made, we would have never been able to go to Nationals in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The generosity and thoughtfulness of the community is both inspiring and greatly appreciated.
A role model departs
Long-time Buffalo sports journalist served as my role model
Something really stopped me last week. Not the occasion of a birthday, for there’s one of those every year and it always happens to fall during a busy time where there’s little chance to really kick back and enjoy things, not with the deluge of games, tournaments and meets to keep up with.
Summer residents have every right to oppose brewery
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: In a recent letter to the editor, Jonathan Phillips attacked people who oppose a brewery at the south end of the lake. He claimed that a beer factory will be a “valuable asset” that will “enhance and project Cazenovia's allure.” I find his concept of allure astonishingly inclusive and his faith positively touching and I do hope all his beliefs prove true.
Concerned about Empire brewery financing
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: It is very unfortunate that the discussion about the proposed brewery is being characterized by some Cazenovians as a “them vs. us” situation. People objecting to Empire's brewery proposal per se are not doing so because they are against change.
Small minority of brewery opponents not about best interests of Caz
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: Few potential additions to Cazenovia have come with such an overwhelmingly positive outlook as the suggested brewery, while also having the strong resistance of a few residents. As a longtime resident and firm believer in our community, it is hard for me to sit back and watch as the small group of opposition takes aim at a project which will be such a valuable asset to our community.
Brewing beer, distilling liquor and growing hops were major industries in Madison County
COLUMN
“History repeats itself” is a phrase we have all heard, and it is true. Recently, Madison County is experiencing a rebirth of hops growing. Drive south along Route 46 in the late summer or early fall and you will see the bines climbing at a number of farms. Growth of the crop is expanding to Sullivan and Cazenovia, meaning all ends of the county can experience a rebirth of the industry.
Let’s have open discussion on Gothic Cottage future
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: Thanks Frolic Taylor for your letter imploring more thought and input from the community prior to allowing a wonderful example of period architecture to be forever ruined for the purpose of progress.
