Lonergan to leave as Cazenovia district teacher
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Cazenovia community: It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter to inform the Cazenovia community that I will be leaving the Cazenovia School District next year. I have accepted a position as an eighth grade social studies teacher in the Fayetteville-Manlius School District.
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.
Worried about the brewery project
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: My name is Denyse Ledyard Montegut and my family is one of the oldest families in the town of Cazenovia. I own Fernwood, a house that was built by my relative Lambertus Wolters Ledyard in 1874. It borders on the proposed Empire Brewery project. I am writing because I believe that the village of Cazenovia should undertake the same level of careful consideration that L.W. Ledyard would have insisted upon before bringing a commercial venture into the heart of historic Cazenovia.
Chamber of commerce supports brewery project
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: For more than 200 years, Cazenovia has been one of the main centers of commerce in Madison County; but with the changing marketplace we cannot continue doing business as usual. We must look elsewhere for new solutions for our changing economy.
A clear-cut case against Caz College
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: I'm a Caz resident and a lawyer who has been litigating cases under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) for many years. It's not often you see a case as clear-cut as the case against Cazenovia College's proposed athletic field fence.
Just like the rest...but not like the rest
SU basketball reflects best, worst parts of college game
So what is Syracuse University basketball, circa 2013? The Orange’s run to the Final Four in Atlanta has evoked a whole lot of examination of what’s gone right and what’s gone wrong here. It’s also evoked the usual amount of journalistic opportunism - some of it legitimate, some of it not.
Gothic Cottage renovation project irresponsible
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor: Nanny Oakman is rolling over in her grave about the Cazenovia “powers that be” gutting the inside of Bob O Link. She donated this gem to our town.
