City of The Hills: Oneontan Will Lead Successor Bank To Wilber

Joe Sutaris of Oneonta, Wilber Bank’s executive vice president & CFO, will be the chief regional executive for Community Banks of Syracuse when it takes over Wilber the weekend of April 8.
Most of the familiar Wilber executives and managers will remain in place, said Jim Mack, Wilber’s interim president who is retiring with the sale’s completion.
The 63 layoffs announced in recent days are primarily back-office positions, duplicative of existing positions in Syracuse, he said.

FOOD DRIVE:  The 6th Ward Athletic Club’s annual Ani Colone Food Drive has already raised $1,270, but needs $430 more to leverage the club’s $1,700 donation. Send checks marked “Food Drive” to the club, 22 West Broadway, Oneonta, NY 13820, or drop off food at supermarkets or the club.

ANOTHER BREAK:  The continuing cold caused a second water-main break at Clinton and Willis streets Monday, March 28.

HOMETOWN ONEONTA
Easter’s still a month away, but Ronda Hoag was already decorating the Valero’s at Chestnut and Oneida streets the other day.  “I love holidays,” she admitted.
