Kim Kallen, retired New Hartford teacher, came down Route 28 Monday, July 14, in his Smart-brand car en route to visit his daughter in the Hudson Valley. Made by Mercedes Benz, it costs $11,400 and gets 44 mph, more when it’s broken in. He test-drove the Smart during last year’s Hall of Fame Induction Weekend.
SEWERAGE OUT: The effort to create a sewer district in the Hickory Grove neighorhood on the west side of Otsego Lake has been abandoned. Win McIntyre, who championed the idea, said homeowners backed away after the Town of Otsego reval raised lakeside assessments four and five times.
BUD SOLD: Anheuser-Busch, the largest privately owned company in the U.S., owned by a family with century- old ties to Otsego County, is being sold to InBev, a Belgian brewer, for $52 billion.
RECORD TAKE: The annual Friends of the Library book sale raised a record $12,000 this year, 20 percent above last year’s take.
SEWARD CO-CHAIRS: State Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, has named retired SUNY Oneonta president Alan Donovan and retired Hartwick College president Richard Miller as co-chairs of his reelection campaign.
