“Late Night Oneonta” airs on The Wire, SUNY Oneon-ta’s public access channel, but has also turned up on Channel 23, Cooperstown and Oneonta’s public access channel, 9 p.m.-midnight, seven days a week, where it

had been generating com-ment in Otsego County’s viewing public at large.

Storey took over for the previous host earlier this semester and his affabil-ity and charm, along with the high production value, helped spark that local atten-tion. “People are starting to talk about it in the commu-nity,” said Wire Club adviser and producer Jared Stan-ley. “We’ve been trying to morph away from a club and into a functioning TV studio,” he said. “We’ve got news, sports talk, short

TV/From B2films and talk shows. We’ve got ambitious students tak-ing the role of producing content.”

“Late Night Oneonta” was the brainchild of Kara Olney, now a junior, in the fall 2011 semester. “The show’s come a long way,” she said. They’ve gone through a few hosts, but the set crew remains steady, in

contrast to other shows on Wire, which allows crew to sign up at will. Her most notable crew member, soph-omore Ryan Whitten, started as a cameraman and talent manager before moving up to co-producer. “And it’s the only show people come and watch,” she said, gestur-ing to the live audience.

Olney writes the show, which consists of inter-

views, musical guests, short skits, top ten lists and “quad questions,” where students are stopped and asked ques-tions that Storey admits “they usually get wrong,” and Whitten rewrites. Sto-rey writes his own mono-logues, which he bases on

“weird news” and humor. Guests can email the show to ask to be interviewed or to be the musical guest.

His interview with Cathy, a woman who works in the dining hall, made her a minor celebrity on cam-pus, even landing her an

interview with the student newspaper, The State Times. “That was one of my most powerful interviews,” said Storey. “She was the sweet-est woman, and she used it as a chance to thank all of her students. That’s when I realized this show has a

purpose.” In a campus poll, “Late

Night Oneonta” ranked as the highest rated show on campus. “People come up to me and tell me that they like what I do,” said Storey.

“It has a nice impact,” said Stanley.

COLONY/From B1restaurateurs may be turning to their culinary origins, but they are also turning their establishment on a novel course. True to those first discussions, the partners are adding “& Colony” to “The Horned Dorset Inn.”

Art colony, that is.In the new few weeks, the

first of six artists – the full complement will include painters, writers and musi-cians – will arrive in this hamlet of a few dozen people just west of Unadilla Creek, about a half-hour from Cooperstown or 45 minutes from Oneonta.

From now until October, they will do what artists do – create – in one of a half-dozen homes, mostly clapboard with black shut-ters, that the partners have acquired over the years.

At the top of the hill, the Horned Dorset owners have their own house, and beyond and beside that are 300 acres that include a vegetable garden that serves the restaurant, hops – a nov-elty, apple orchards, a barn where the original horned Dorset sheep were tended, and long views of the valley

– just starting to green – that separates Otsego and Madi-son counties.

In his studio above the garage behind his house, there’s proof that Kingsley Wratten will be right at home in the new venture: Thought-provoking images on vividly colored canvases are stacked against the wall or set against an easel. Two large canvases, one of a dis-tracted Barack Obama rang-

ing Gotham with the Empire State Building in one hand, the other of Michelle with the daughters, communicate the uncertainly of the first term.

Driving down the hill back to Route 8, Kingsley’s Jeep passes a half-dozen homes in various states of renovation that he and Harold have picked up over the years as they came on the market. Each will house

one of the colony’s artists.The partners, including

Rebecca, have applied for 501(c)(3) status – Coo-perstown attorney Bob Schlather is handling the paperwork – seeking non-profit status. Once such is-sues are resolved, the public might expect an reception sometime later this year to meet and artists view their creations.

But for now, the focus is on the restaurant, the cen-terpiece of most of Wratten and Davies’ careers.

After meeting at Colgate, Kingsley – he was raised in Earlville, and his grand-father had bought an apple orchard in Leonardsville as a getaway – showed Har-old the hamlet for the first time. Then Wratten went off to the Yale School of Art in Norfolk, Conn., and he and Rebecca then taught at Madison Central School. Davies sought a Ph.D. at Syracuse, then taught there, while further developing culinary skills.

The years went by, the friends kept in touch, and the old Crandall General Store, its roof fallen in, went up for sheriff’s auction. The

partners bought it, invested sweat equity in its repair, and opened the restaurant – traditional French cuisine, a la Julia Child – in 1977, which before long was drawing from as far away as Syracuse and Albany.

The Italianate on the corner – it’s actually a Co-

lonial farmhouse, “gussied up” in the late 1800s for a wedding – was converted to a B&B, so patrons could avoid late-night drives to distant homes. In 1987, the partners expanded the lodg-ing piece to Puerto Rico, developing The Residences

COLONY/From B4at Horned Dorset Primavera in Rincon. “The idea was to have the best of both worlds,” said Kingsley.

Through it all, the concept of an artists’ colony remained very much alive. At one point, the men made a pilgrimage to Talcot-tville, where Edmund Wilson scoffed at the idea, saying, “The painter has as much to say to the writer as a plumber does to a car-penter.” (The painter and writer disagreed, but kept their opinions to themselves.) Wilson later mentioned the idea derogatorily in his memoir, “Upstate.”

Undeterred, the partners closed the restaurant for the 2011 season, in part to plan the colony, which is now ready for launch.

The restaurant is still a very central to the concept, as Aaron explained the other day. In addition to reviving items on the original menu, he is remaining true to the original “greening of America” idea – it took the rest of the U.S. a while to catch up with the concept – and uses fresh produce

and local products as much as possible.In the kitchen a short while later, Aaron

was removing “a simple country pate” from a baking pan, and he served up samples – topped with a red-onion marmalade – to the gathering. Indeed, The Horned Dorset is back.

AllOTSEGO.lifeHarold Davies recounts how the mantel on the Garden Room fireplace was rescued from a garage in Syracuse. Much of the material used to renovate the original Crandall’s Gen-eral Store came from demolished buildings, including a black and white marble floor from a Cooperstown mansion.

Even Edmund Wilson’s Disdain Didn’tDeter Partners From Idea Of Art Colony

Laurens resident Alyson Marmet was one of four SUNY Oneonta students chosen to receive the 2012 SUNY

Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence, the highest honor that SUNY bestows upon students.

SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher pre-sented the awards to the students at a recep-tion in their honor on April 4 at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany.

Marmet has worked closely with Associ-ate Professor of Chemistry Dr. Jacqueline Bennett as a six-semester member of the BLONDES (Building a Legacy of Outstand-

ing New Developments and Excellence in Science) student-research group.

As a result of this work, she will be the second author (with Dr. Bennett) on an upcoming publication, and she was selected to give two presentations at the Spring 2012 American Chemical Society National Meet-ing in San Diego. A member of the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor So-ciety, Ms. Marmet is a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry I and II, was a Relay for Life team captain and has served as treasurer for the Chemistry Club, Geology Club and Rock to Cure student organization.
