As outlined by Jeffrey Smetana, vice presi-dent, New-man De-velopment Group, during a tour of Twin River Com-mons the other day near SUNY Bingham-ton – “It’s the latest and the

greatest,” he said – is just the beginning.

Twin River – it’s a model for the complex Newman is proposing on Blodgett Drive, overlooking the Red Dragon fields at SUNY Oneonta’s north end – contains sound-proofed, three-bedroom apartments with individual bathrooms, study lounges, game rooms, a computer room, a computer with free printing, outdoor grills and a common

Hartwick’s Harry Matthews Guides Students To Their Roots

By LIBBY CUDMORE

ONEONTA

For Harry Bradshaw Matthews, Hartwick College associate dean

and director of the U.S. Plu-ralism Center, the centennial of Harriet Tubman’s death is not just about her journey to freedom – it’s about her repeated trips back to rescue

her family.“It’s about family his-tory. It’s the reconstruc-tion of the African fam-

ily,” said Matthews, and he’s drawn inspiration from that.

His documenting the Mat-thews family history started early. “I knew three genera-tions of my family before I went to school,” he said.

In 1974, while study-ing at SUNY Oneonta, he documented his family roots back to his grandfather, Richard Parlor Jr., a grand master West Indian Mason in South Carolina. “The first Africans brought over as slaves were from the West Indies,” he said.

To look back further, he went to the 1870s Census, the first one documenting

ONEONTA

A common council member, a radio executive and a

fire department officer will be vying for votes at

the Catskill Symphony Orchestra’s annual Cabaret Conductor Contest at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 3 in the SUNY Oneonta Alumni Field House.

CSO’s major fundraiser

will feature Deputy Mayor Mike Lynch, the Fourth Ward Common Council member; Tim Maloney, a captain in the Oneonta fire department, and George Wells local general man-

ager of Townsquare Media, owner of WZOZ and other radio stations.

The all-Irish concert will feature Celtic group Cherish the Ladies and two Johann Strauss Jr. waltzes, “Tales from the Vienna Woods” and the “Emperor Waltzes.”

Throughout the program, each candidate will have a chance to boast of their credentials, with votes taken at intermission. One vote costs one dollar, and the person who raises the most money gets to conduct “Stars and Stripes Forever” as the show’s finale.

Last year, Southside Mall manager Luisa Montanti bested Hometown Oneonta

& Freeman’s Journal edi-tor/publisher Jim Kevlin and Five Star Subaru owner Ben Guenther.

At the 2012 cabaret, Sen-ator Jim Seward, summed up the voting process as

“Chicago-style” – “vote early and vote often.”

In addition to the con-cert, votes may also be cast online at www.catskillsym-phony.net.

Mike Lynch, Tim Maloney and George Wells will vie for guest conductor status at the CSO’s an-nual Cabaret Concert Sunday, March 3, at SUNY Oneonta.

ROOTS/From B1black heads of households after the Civil War. “I as-sumed since my ancestors were black, they must have come out of slavery,” he said.

In slave records from the 1790s, he found a family name – Killingsworth – in a South Carolina household with five slaves and one free black male, “Negro Isaac.” “I wondered what this black person was doing living with them,” he said. “And I changed my search from color to culture.”

He discovered the head of household was a William Killingsworth, who treated his five slaves like family. As a Baptist, Killingsworth held blacks “on the ladder of humanity” and fought laws that kept them from wor-shipping together.

Isaac took the family’s last name and even fought beside William Killing-sworth Jr. in South Caroli-na’s Third Regiment during the Revolutionary War. But many records were de-

stroyed, and it wasn’t until 1860 Census that Matthews could pick up the trail of Isaac’s family.

“Only about 20 percent of the population were wealthy enough to own slaves,” he said. “I just narrowed the families down.”

Looking at wills, deeds and church records, he was able to trace up Isaac’s line to modernity, finding his grandmother, Rebecca Killingsworths-Parler and his grandfather, Richard Parler Jr. “I realized they were all connected to these communities,” he said. “The freedom journey is not separate and distinct – it’s all connected.”

His research also led him to the abolitionist history of Otsego County. The Col-ored American, a weekly newspaper published in New York City in 1836-42, reported in 1838 reports that, in Otsego County, “there are also hearts that feel, tongues that speak and hands that act in behalf of the oppressed.”

“That means that they were part of the Under-ground Railroad,” he said.

He had heard a story of a mother and her children who escaped to Oneonta in 1860, and his research uncovered that she fled Virginia with six children and her half sis-ter; local families hid them and helped to Canada.

Matthews uses his research to help other Hartwick students trace their family lineage through the Harriet Tubman Men-toring Project, where they study the research learning process, and through his Revisiting Roots class.

He also shares many of the books and documents from The Pamela L. and The Harry Bradshaw Matthews Collection for the Preserva-tion of the Freedom Journey Classics, so that students are able to “touch history.”

“We run the gamut now,” he said. “Students who are part of the project have diverse backgrounds, and they found themselves in American history.”

DORMS/From B1room. “It’s become what they expect,” Smetana said. “If your parents were paying for it, you’d want to live here too.”

Twin River, in down-town Binghamton, is one of two Newman complexes near the university. The other is University Plaza in the Vestal Plaza. SUNY Oneonta “knows then need it,” Smetana said. “All their peer institutions, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY New Paltz, they have these types of dorms.” In fact, the Oneonta school post-poned its own plans for a townhome development near Monroe Avenue at the campus’ southern end when Newman’s plan to house 320 of its students surfaced

in November.At Twin River, the study

lounges are equipped with a touch-screen and wireless keyboard, so students can

practice giving presenta-tions, and the computer lab features both Macs and PCs loaded with high-end soft-ware. “We’re not just rent-ing apartments to students,” he said. “We want this to be a live and learn experience. We want to support them academically.”

The housing will be open for graduate students, juniors and seniors. “Going forward, you’ll see more international students too, people looking for 12-month housing leases.”

But with safety a concern for all, Smetena asserts that the buildings are secure. All areas must be accessed through a key, and the com-mon area in the front of the building also serves as a

way to funnel people past security. Blue light phones are placed throughout the courtyard, and the buildings security team will assess any call and determine whether 911 or the police is to be called. “Security is our top priority,” he said. “For kids and for their parents.”

The security system is so sophisticated, it once helped a girl find her cell phone. “Security footage showed her in the lounge putting her phone on the couch – she went in and got it from be-tween the cushions!”

A focus group with SUNY Oneonta students is in the works, and Smetena, who outlined the project to the City of Oneonta’s Plan-ning Commission Wednes-day, Jan. 16, hopes construc-tion can begin in time for a fall 2014 opening.

As a private, rather than, a SUNY, project, it’s esti-mated the project would add $15 million to the tax rolls.

“The response has been really positive,” said Smet-ena. “The folks in the city have really emphasized how the comprehensive plan addressed the lack of af-fordable housing – our plan compliments that.”

“We’re looking to have an iconic design,” he added. “We want students to feel like they’re being lead home.”
