Herzig Lists 3 Priorities For Oneonta
I
f elected Nov. 3 – as seems pretty certain right now – mayor-apparent Gary Herzig listed three priorities at his “celebration and fundraiser” Wednesday, Aug. 5, at the Sixth Ward Athletic Club: One, redeveloping the D&H yards; two, optimum development for Market Street; three, complete $70 million Housing Visions project. He also pledged to hire the “right candidate” for city manager/SEE EDITORIAL, A4 SCOUTS DELAY: Votes on a prospective merger of Oneonta’s Otschodela and Utica’s Revolutionary Trails scout councils was delayed last week after verbiage from the Boy Scouts of America was found to conflict with state law. Votes may occur later this month. VENUE CHANGED: The Republican County Committee’s challenge to Democrat Andrew Marietta, running against county Rep. Rick Hulse, R-Fly Creek, for the county Board of Representatives, will be at 2:30 p.m. Thursday the 13th at the Otsego County Courthouse.

It’s Sounding Like Gary Herzig Can Get City Back On Track
O
neonta’s Common Council may have come unglued. Power plays have erased the amity and trust necessary for any multi-person entity to grapple honestly and effectively with the issues. Acting Mayor Southard is right to say Council’s goal will be, to the extent he can determine it, to keep things on an even keel through the Nov. 3 elections and swearings-in of a new mayor and Common Council Jan. 1. Please, Council members, do no more harm! But the graph of effective governance isn’t a straight line. Inevitably, there are valleys – arguably, City Hall is in one now; and this week another key official, City Clerk Doug Kendall, announced he is leaving – and then there are peaks. • Mayor-apparent Gary Herzig’s “celebration and fundraiser” at the Sixth Ward Athletic Club last week was a reminder that, on balance, Oneonta in recent decades has seen more peaks than valleys. The city’s four living mayors – Sam Nader, David Brenner, Kim Muller and John Nader – cheerfully gathered around Herzig for photos on the deck, and the candidate then detailed eaches’ (yes, that’s actually a word) accomplishments. The elder Nader cemented semi-pro baseball in the City of

Brenner negotiated the sales-tax compact with the county that ensured the city’s relative financial soundness, compared to most Upstate small cities.

e careful what you wish for. When the IDA’s Otsego Now leaders appeared before the Otsego County Board of Representatives at its Aug. 5 monthly meeting, chair Bob Hanft and COO Elizabeth Horvath were asked what the county might do to help. Nothing, Hanft replied. After the county Board declined to contribute anything – yes, zero – to economic development, the IDA found funding in the private sector, he explained. The IDA is charging 1 percent on every bond issue and PILOT, plus an annual “administrative fee,” to fund its operations. With Hartwick College’s $28 million bond issue alone, the initial 1 percent amounts to $280,000. A substantial bond was also issued through the IDA for Brooks BBQ’s bottling company. So we’re talking money. Since it’s paying its own way, this gives the IDA substantially more flexibility than having to get every decision OK’d by the mixed crowd of county representatives of differing parties, backgrounds and priorities. Otsego Now does need county board approval for bond issues and PILOTs, but it would be churlish for
“micro-enterprise” grants for retailers in different communities. When the need for a public role in the Leatherstocking Dyslexia Center was questioned, the board was told: If we don’t spend the money, we don’t get any more next year. Not much of an argument. Originally, Otsego Now President Sandy Mathes had intended to use micro-enterprise money for targeted community-development, beginning with Unadilla. Regrettably, that isn’t to be, unless county Board chair Kathy Clark, R-Otego, can get her majority back in the game. But no matter. The IDA has its eye on the ball. It’s developing plans for the D&H yards, a strategy for taking Cooperstown to the next level and much more. Who gets the credit when good things start happening doesn’t really matter. Only, it won’t be the county board. This isn’t theoretical: Hanft reported Governor Cuomo’s Start-Up NY promotion cost $45 million, and so far has attracted only 76 jobs and $1.8 million in prospective investment. New York State is in trouble – and Upstate, moreso. Thankfully, Otsego Now is acting.

county reps to dig their feet in when, in effect, the county has no skin in the game. This has allowed significant progress on such things as obtaining an option on 140 acres for the prospective Alex J. Shields Commerce Park at Richfield Springs.

To the Editor: Most of the time, when I see the flag at half staff, I have to stop and wonder: “Who died ?” Sometimes it’s obvious, sometime not so obvious. Unless one obsesses over this protocol, it’s easy to miss. Unfortunately, the Village of Cooperstown’s record on flag lowering is a bit spotty, as your newspaper found. On the one hand, the village has lowered the national flag over the death of a local resident (wrong!) and on the other, it failed to get the memo from Wash-
replaced what had been an empty dirt lot for years after Urban Renewal did its damage to the historic fabric. It could have still been a dirt lot today. The younger Nader carried forward downtown renewal, with a determination to see the vacant Bresee’s Department Store – mushrooms were growing through the carpet – renovated into the smart apartments and retail space that today are Klugo’s Parkview Place.
Otsego Now initiative, which has applied for CFA funding and would earmark funds from the regional MV500 campaign that is seeking a piece of Governor Cuomo’s $1.5 billion Upstate Development Fund, for this purpose. • Two, revival of South Market Street – vacant land and underused buildings between and around Stella Luna and Foothills. Mayor Dick Miller had been working on a plan for a boutique hotel, perhaps an ice rink, and an agribusiness hub – a farmers’ market, food-processing plant, plus upper-floor apartments in the former Oneonta Ford building. But, as Herzig put it, it’s really a “blank slate,” ready to accommodate varied community aspirations. • Three, completion of $70 million in new and renovated housing around Hartwick College and at the end of Spruce Street Extension. Herzig, a former Planning Commission member, has been familiar with the Housing Visions undertaking for years, and is an ideal interface with the non-profit venture. It’s been a dark time at City Hall, with Miller’s death, discontent in the ranks and the ouster of the city’s second city manager in as many years. But there’s light in the east, and it’s more likely than not to be bringing renewed stability and sure-footed initiative to fair Oneonta with the new year.

ice President Biden came to New York and appeared with Governor Cuomo to announce that the federal government will put a ton of money into the rebuilding of LaGuardia Airport. So far so good. Then Biden, who has a reputation of not thinking through his off-the-cuff remarks, told the crowd that Andrew Cuomo is the just about best governor in the country. That’s when a lot of eyes opened up. To understand why, you have to get where Andrew is right now. The governor’s popularity is decreasing. He has a number of career choices coming up. He could run for a third term as

governor but if history and the trajectory of his popularity are any indicators, he will not do as well as he has in his past two runs and if ill winds are blowing, he might actually lose to a moderate Republican. He might go into the Cabinet, but he was previously the secretary of Housing and Urban Development
under Clinton. He could aim high at the Secretary of State’s job or the Attorney General job but it is unlikely that he is qualified for either. He certainly has not demonstrated a lot of insight or experience in foreign affairs, nor is he regarded as one of the great legal minds in the country. So there is one more job that could position him for the presidency, the ultimate job that most Cuomo watchers think he wants That, of course, is vice president. Would a President Biden trust Andrew enough to make him his No. 2? Biden is clearly very dedicated to his family and his friends.
If Biden thinks that Andrew is a political genius in the way Eisenhower perceived Nixon to be, might he choose him? Of course, that would hardly be a balanced ticket since both men are Catholic and both are from the East. Biden is a man who thinks with his heart and if he believes in Andrew maybe, just maybe, he might choose Andrew. That might be just what Andrew needs to get to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Decline in Passenger Traffic – The number of travelers over the Delaware & Hudson lines is far below normal and the decrease is felt all over the system. Through-travel between Albany and Rouses Point, as reported on the June statement, shows a deplorable loss of 31 percent as compared with last year. The group of trains running between Albany and Rutland earned 23 percent less than they did last June. Between Albany and Binghamton, earnings are 15 percent off, while further up the line the Saratoga and North Creek branch shows a decrease of 32 percent. June holiday travel from Albany and intermediate stations to Lake George was 14 percent under last year. Purely local business like the Albany to Troy Belt Line should at least hold its own – but the Belt Line business has dropped 11 percent and the Albany-Altamont showing is far worse, resulting in a 27 percent decrease. This depression gives cause for serious thought. Today, enough railroad mileage to circle the earth is under bankruptcy. Securities worth 1.75 billion dollars are affected. When James J. Hill was congratulated on his great fortune, he replied: “Young man, when you talk about my fortune, remember that I owe more money than all the men in St. Paul.” August 1915

Taxing Employment – The President of a small manufacturing concern wrote the President about the Social Security bill, saying in part: “If the social security bill is passed, I will have to close down my plant, as I feel that, together with taxes that we are subject to now, and the taxes that will be imposed upon us by the social security bill, we will lose our plant and equipment. It has been only by the most exceptional sacrifices that we have been able to keep on operating through the depression, employing as many people as possible. Very frankly, this morning’s newspapers discouraged all incentive to continue.” All over this land are thousands of concerns which are similarly situated. They have done their best to keep all of their employees at work during the past few years and relinquished all thoughts of dividends. Now, they are faced with a tax levied, not upon earnings or profits, but upon payrolls, upon the amount of money they pay out annually for help – a tax upon employment. August 1935

Local employers do not screen job applicants or employees for traces of illegal drugs because they do not see drug use as a problem locally and because there are other ways to detect worker ineffectiveness. That attitude contrasts with a report by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, estimating that 25 percent of Fortune 500 companies now screen job applicants or current employees for use of illegal drugs. Michael McNally, director of human relations at Fox Memorial Hospital in Oneonta, said blood screening or urinalysis to test for signs of illegal drugs is not always reliable and raises legal and moral questions. McNally noted that drug screening tests, which the hospital does not use and has no plans to use, does not measure how effective an employee would be. The hospital uses a detailed interview process to determine how effective an employee should be. “Whether or not they will be hired should be dependent on August 1890 whether they can do the job well,” he said.

That’s not it at all,” one of the teachers said. The Kindergarten teachers are
The Oneonta Town Council amended the town’s outdoor burning ordinance to mandate a 50-yard buffer zone on private property in some rural areas of the town that abut residential areas. No outdoor burning will be allowed in the buffer zone, which is designed to prevent smoke from drifting into residential areas as well as minimize fire risks. However, some town residents are still lobbying for a burning ban in all districts. August 2005

They were planning to move the North Carolina when Susan’s sister saw an ad for the Otsego County Mobile Home Replacement Program. “She suggested we call them, but we didn’t,” said Susan. “Then another friend said she was going to apply, and we thought, ‘we should give it a try’!” Foster is among the first in the county to be eligible for the program, part of a $660,800 grant through the state Division of Homes & Community Renewal, a collaboration between the county Planning, Solid Waste & Economic Development Department and Milford-based Otsego Rural Housing Assistance. “We did a housing study in 2008 and we found that affordable

And though they’ll only be able to assist 10 families with this grant, they’ll continue to accept applications and seek funding for future projects. “It requires a lot of paperwork and persistence,” Peters admitted. “People get intimidated, they think they won’t be eligible, but they don’t need to. We’ll help you.” Foster hopes the new home will be installed in the fall. “I’m excited that the kids each have their own bedroom,” said Susan. “They just turned 5, and they’re fighting instead of sleeping!” “My room is going to be like ‘Frozen’!” chirped Abby-Ann. “I’m already planning how I’ll decorate each room,” said Susan. “I want it to look really nice.”

But for the firefighters who couldn’t be there, the community came out in their place. “My dad, Al Lutz, was a fireman,” said Rachel Jessup. “Of course I’m here for fire!” “My husband Ron wasn’t able to donate, so I’m here
for him,” said the firefighter’s wife Marisa Wamsley. “I couldn’t decide, so I flipped a coin,” said LEAF Executive Director Julie Dostal, who put her name under the Police Department. “It’s been years since I donated, so I saw this on Facebook and it was a good motivation.” Disappointingly, she found she was unable to donate, being low on iron.

shelter, or other services patients might need. “One of our goals when we moved here was to add services,” said Stuligross. When patient come in, volunteers help them sign up for Medicaid or the ACA. “We’ve had people come in who didn’t know they could get insurance through the ACA,” said Stuligross. “We’ve helped them sign up.” But the Affordable Care Act has its own costs, and sometimes the premiums don’t leave much for the deductible. “The ACA has costs that make it difficult to afford healthcare for some people,” said Lorrie Wolverton, the former volunteer coordinator and a fellow board member with Stuligross. “Our mission started as serving people with no health care, but we’ve expanded it.” Since the ACA passed, the clinic board has modified their regulations so that patients who have insurance but are struggling with cost can still get care. “If you have insurance but are worried you can’t afford care, it’s better to come in and have us say, ‘You don’t meet our criteria,’ than to stay home thinking we can’t help,” said Stuligross. “When someone needs care and they come here, they really need it.” But, as many of the SUNY interns and volunteers have discovered, the patients at the clinic don’t fit the stereotype of people who use free services.

CARLEIGH/From B1 choreographed to music that (“Hamilton� writer) LinManuel Miranda picked. “It was an incredible night.� And it’s just one of many to come. The show opened to rave reviews, including a tweet from Andrew Lloyd Webber, who wrote “Phantom of the Opera� and “Cats,� praising it as a show that, “raises & changes the bar for musicals.� Bettiol, an OHS grad, toured with Miranda’s “In The Heights� before landing a role in “Hamilton.� The show, which spent a sold-out three-month engagement at The Public Theater, has already generated over $27.6 million in advance sales. “We’re sold out through March!� said Bettiol. “They have a lottery every night where you can get tickets for $10 - ‘Hamilton’ for a Hamilton!� In moving from offBroadway to the Great White Way, the cast has added one male and female
ensemble member, as well as two backstage. Additionally, the title of “One Last Ride,� a song in the second act, has been changed to “One Last Time,� and the reprise of “Dear Theodosia� was dropped from the show. “Over the break between when we closed at the Public on May 5, Miranda tweaked the lyrics a little.� Bettiol sings in nearly every number, from “Alexander Hamilton� to “Finale,� and will soon be called in to record her part of the cast album, available in September. She plans on staying through the Tony Awards - the show has already garnered Drama Desk, Obie and New York Drama Critics Circle awards - and then sitting down with her agents to discuss the future. But for now, she’ll do her hair, put on her makeup and, eight shows a week, perform “Big Shot� and “The Room Where it Happens� for a packed house. “It’s been awesome,� she said. “It’s been very, very busy.�

Southard: Applications For City Clerk Coming In CLERK/From A1 city manager, Mike Long, was forced to resign in May 2014. In October, Mayor Dick Miller passed away abruptly and, most recently, the second city manager, Martin Murphy, was also forced out of City Hall. But despite this, Kendall had
good things to say about his work. “I’ve really enjoyed serving the public,” he said. “I enjoyed recording meetings, providing services like marriage licenses.” “It’s been a good two years,” said Deputy Clerk Nancy Powell, who will fill in until Kendall’s successor is recruited.
Kendall moved to the area in 1999, when he began serving as curator of collections at NYSHA and The Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown until 2011. And at the Yager Museum, he’ll soon be working with students, faculty and staff alike to create exhibitions. “I’m sure we’ll come up with
some interesting exhibits,” he said. And though Kendall is still behind the desk for just under another month, the search for the new city clerk has already begun. “We’ve got ads out and we’ve already received a few applications,” said Mayor Russ Southard. “City Hall is doing just fine.”

Harford’s duties include overseeing the soup kitchen and food pantry, and the Thrift Store at 105 Main St. She will also lead worship services. “I’m the shepherd of the flock,” she said. Since enrolling in officer training, Harford served in Waterville, Maine, then was assigned to oversee the Williams Memorial Residence for the elderly, at 95th Street and West End Avenue in Manhattan. “I’m what they call a ‘second career officer’,” she said. “It took me awhile, but I allowed Christ to come in and lead me.” From Manhattan, she was

IN MEMORIAM Bonnie K. Robinson, 69; Despite Illness, Led OHS ’64 Reunion ONEONTA – Bonnie K. Robinson, 69, the 1964 OHS graduate who was the leader in organizing her class’s 50th reunion, passed away with her children at her side, on Monday, Aug. 3, 2015, at Fox Hospital. Bonnie was born on June 26, 1946, in Oneonta, the daughter of the late Harry and Annabelle “Chris” Sinstack. During her 51 years after graduating high school, Bonnie dedicated herself to her career at SUNY Oneonta. Bonnie’s service to the college spanned nearly four decades. She joined the Organization of Ancillary Services (now Oneonta Auxiliary Services) in 1976 after learning the ropes from her own mother in the switchboard room. After retiring from OAS in 2007, she began to work as the Student Association’s secretary. It was here that
she found her second family, her SA students. She spent her days working alongside them not only as a Bonnie Robinson secretary but often as a mentor, counselor, second mother and best friend. Along with her work family, Bonnie had many very special friends who she spent much of her time enjoying. Every Friday night Bonnie could be found playing cards with her friends, Frank, Cheryl and Evelyn. She also made sure she kept herself busy with weekly lunch and movie dates to catch up with everyone she had a chance to. She often spent her time in recent years connecting with
Jean Phillips Thompson, 86; Bassett Obstetrics’ Head Nurse ONEONTA – Jean Phillips Thompson, 86, who served as the head nurse in the obstetrics unit at Bassett Hospital, passed away peacefully, Aug. 5, 2015, at Focus Otsego. Jean was born July 9, 1929, in Oneonta, the daughter of Edward H. and Irene G. (Terbuson) Short. Upon graduating from Oneonta High School, Class of 1946, Jean enrolled in nursing school. In 1951, she obtained her nursing degree from Union University School of Nursing, a division of Albany Medical College. In 1947, she married Donald Phillips. Together they had five children. Jean and Don resided in Hartwick. Jean later married Herman (Bill) Thompson and resided in Roseboom, later moving back to her childhood home in Oneonta. Her husband, Bill Thompson, predeceased her in 2003. Most people will remember Jean from her years at Bassett Hospital where she worked for 40 years from 1962 to 2002. She was the head nurse in the obstetrics unit for much of the first 28 years and then after retire-
ment from full-time employment in 1990, she worked part-time with the IV team. Jean was known for her sense of humor, love of language both written and spoken, love of her pets, quick wit and inquiring mind. She is survived by her children, Donald (Julie) Phillips of Battle Ground, Wash., Michael (Patricia) Phillips of Kalama, Wash., John (Susan) Phillips of Fairbanks, Alaska; Nancy (Gordon) Clark of Cooperstown; and Carol (John) Niedzialkowski of Hartwick. She is also survived by her former husband, Donald E. Phillips of Colonial Heights, Va.; numerous grandchildren; great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews. Calling hours will be 4-7 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 12, with funeral services at noon, Thursday, Aug. 13, at Tillapaugh Funeral Home, Cooperstown. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Susquehanna Animal Shelter, 4841 State Hwy. 28, Cooperstown, NY 13326 or a charity of your choice. Arrangements are entrusted to the Tillapaugh Funeral Home, Cooperstown.
old friends over games of Scrabble on the computer. Genuine, caring and loyal are how her friends and family will always remember her. For anyone who knew Bonnie, they knew being a mother and more recently a “Nana” were her greatest accomplishments in life. As a mother, Bonnie was the parent who became a second mom to her children’s friends. She was the mother who always stepped up to coach a sporting team or chauffer her sons and friends to wherever they
needed to be. As a Nana, she enjoyed spending her time watching her grandsons grow without ever missing an event (even if it was via video chat) and of course she spoiled them every chance she got. Bonnie’s nature was to help, love and nurture and she did just that right until the very end. For that, we are forever grateful. Bonnie is survived by her two sons, James Sinstack (Johnna Nesteruk) of Oneonta, Richard (Amanda) Robinson of Sidney; two grandsons, Aiden and Bryce Robinson; brother, David

Bonnie’s family along with the Oneonta State Student Association invite all to honor her life with them at 2 p.m., Sept. 7, in the Hunt College Union at SUNY Oneonta.
