e hasn’t been around here as much lately, but for decades Ed Stack was everywhere. In 59 years with Clark family entities, beginning the day after he graduated from college, he was involved in so many of the projects taken for granted in the Cooperstown of today: The new Clark Sports Center, The Fenimore Art Museum’s Paul Donnelly/The Freeman’s Journal Thaw Wing, the modernized Otesaga and Cooper Inn, a frequently upgraded Leatherstocking Golf Course, and an expanded Baseball Hall of Fame, including the addition of the library. Edward W. Stack was chairman and CEO of the Hall of Fame in 1977-2000, “during the height of its popularity,” Kevin S. Moore, president of The Clark Estates, declared Saturday, Aug. 8, at Hyde Hall, where Stack was guest of honor at the annual gala, “The Run for the Roses.” This year’s event drew a near-record attendance of 180 to a tent set up on the west side of the National Historic Landmark, presenting a long Please See STACK, A6

T
he Rev. Robert Turner, who joined the First Baptist Church as transitional pastor last September, has accepted a permanent position at University Baptist Church, right across from Ohio State. He will deliver his final local sermon on Aug. 30. While the Rev. Turner Baptist Church USA’s transitional-pastor program takes two years to help a congregation find a new pastor after a long-time pastor retires, it is understood that the offer of a permanent position can sometimes curtail the interim assignment, he said. The congregation will now have to decide whether to try again with a transitional pastor, or to begin recruiting a successor by some other method, said Turner, who succeeded the Rev. Douglas Deer, who retired to Cortland after two decades here. Meanwhile, Dick Sliter, a member of the church, will fill in temporarily. A native of Illinois, Rev. Turner has served American Baptist churches in Indiana, West Virginia and Virginia. He has over 20 years of ministry experience, having worked as a youth minister, a campus minister, and an associate pastor. He has also worked in the non-profit sphere as a human rights advocate in Washington, D.C. During his time here, he published “Our Father Who Aren’t In Heaven,” a reflection on The Lord’s Prayer. His wife Sarah served with Turner here.

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

the Hills, and made sure Oneonta was fully served by four I-88 exits – Emmons, Lettis Highway, lower Main Street and Route 205 – when the highway came through. Brenner negotiated the sales-tax compact with the county that ensured the city’s relative financial soundness, compared to most Upstate small cities. Kim Muller – well, go no further than Muller Plaza and the adjoining Clarion Hotel, which

Web Site Can Advise Village When To Lower ‘Old Glory’
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-
ington to lower it for the death of servicemen killed by a terrorist (wrong again). The protocol is simple: the national flag is lowered when the feds say so. (It’s the national flag, not the village flag.) Not when a beloved local poodle dies. There is an e-mail service for this, accessible at http:// halfstaff.org/. If the village signs up, it will be notified when to lower/raise the national flag. And won’t have to depend on a Vietnam vet to do it for them. CHIP NORTHRUP Cooperstown
‘Stupidity Virus’ Infects County GOP To the Editor: The Otsego County Republican Party’s court challenge of the signature and mark of a young man with Cerebral Palsy on a candidate petition is astounding. It is evidence that the stupidity virus already infect-
ing Republican officials at the national level has now spread to those at our local level. The only cure would seem to be to rid them all of their official positions. JOHN A. RUDY Cooperstown
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.
• Herzig praised his predecessors in sensible remarks to the 100+ wellwishers at the gathering. Since announcing his intent to run last February, the Opportunities for Otsego COO has been steadily growing into his prospective leadership role. And he outlined three goals for his first term: • One, to redevelop the D&H yards for business and manufacturing in tandem with the IDA’s
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 initiatives to fair Oneonta with the new year.
Otsego Now Recognizes, Attacks Upstate’s Plight
B
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
The Freeman’s Journal

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. You can imagine the number of ways that allocation may have gotten bogged down in the committee process. Later in its monthly meeting, the county reps approved $80,000 in four
“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.

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
Vice President Biden and Governor Cuomo in New York last week.
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.

Broken open on the night of the 3rd inst., the Hatter’s Shop of the subscriber, in Franklin, and taken out of the same a large quantity of HATS, of various sizes and qualities, together with a considerable quantity of TRIMMINGS, supposed to be put into a large sack then in the shop. The perpetrator of this atrocious deed is supposed to be one GUY LEWIS, a Hatter by trade, who had recently worked in the shop. Said LEWIS is supposed to be about 30 years of age; and is about six feet in height, darkish complexion, large whiskers, straight and robust built, and of a handsome address – had on when he left the shop, a striped pair of blue pantaloons, and a plaid coat, of factory cloth. Whoever will apprehend said thief, and secure the property, shall be entitled to the above reward and all necessary charges. JAMES BARNABY, Franklin.

The floating island which has been in Goodyear Lake for several years and which recently floated up against the dam much to the inconvenience of the Collier’s Light, Heat & Power Company is now being cut into sections and a considerable portion has been drawn around the point into a bay where it is being anchored adjoining lands owned by the company. Another part has been drawn farther up the lake. It is believed that in a short time the entire island will be safely removed from the zone where it might cause damage to the plant and the dam.

When the motor on a boat caught fire on Otsego Lake Dr. John D. George, his wife Sandra, and daughters Jill, age 2, and Debbie, age 4, were forced to jump into the water, a few yards from the dock at the Cooperstown Country Club. The two daughters were wearing life jackets and Dr. George is a good swimmer. However, Mrs. George does not swim and lacked a life jacket. She managed to cling to a floating seat cushion. The Paula Lee, operated by Alfred Engelmann of the Cooperstown Marina saw the mishap and pulled the boat around and took them all on board. No injuries were suffered although Mrs. George was in a state of shock. Martin Tillapaugh, age 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. George G. Tillapaugh of Cooperstown, came along in his 14-foot outboard and using an extinguisher which he always carries on board, quickly put out the flames. August 11, 1965

Hops — During the past week, or two, there has been a great decrease of the hop louse, especially in sections where there have been heavy rains. It is now apparent, however, that the vine has had to contend with a still more powerful enemy. Throughout this county the vines in a large number of yards are suffering from the effects of a disease which threatens the most serious results, not only to the present crop of hops, but to the vine itself. Some of the most thrifty-appearing young yards – which two or three weeks ago promised a yield of 500 to 800 pounds to the acre, notwithstanding the lice, are now – it is to be feared – dying off. From some cause, the vine near the root grows soft and rotten, and where there are hops above, they do not get their proper nourishment from the soil. August 11, 1865

Almost every number of the program called for an encore, the many topical songs being especially appreciated. The boys composing the Charleston Blues, by their brilliant performance elicited a vociferous applause, which they fully deserved. All the topical songs showed much merit in their composition as well as delicacy in the manner in which they touched upon local matters and incidents. The Association is to be congratulated that it has aroused interest sufficient to produce as excellent an entertainment. The program as published was fully and well-rendered. The proceeds were $100.

Pain management services have been available at Basset hospital for about 10 years. In 1985, the hospital organized the first comprehensive post-operative pain management program in New York State. Physicians found that patients whose post-operative pain was managed correctly often experienced shorter, more pleasant recovery periods. Recently, the same pain management techniques have been applied to visits with outpatients and many find their quality of life improves greatly. August 15, 1990

Village officials say that Thursday night’s concert at Doubleday Field with the Beach Boys and Herman’s Hermits will be an intimate affair with about one-fourth of the field’s seating capacity sold in advance. According to Chamber of Commerce Director Polly Renckens, her office had sold just over 2,800 tickets as of Monday. That figure does not include children younger than age 10 of which 400-500 are expected. Concert promoters Ed and Judi Tripp said they hope to eclipse the 3,000 mark in attendance by the time the show starts on Thursday. August 12. 2005

Something New In the Neighborhood: New Mobile Homes LOANS/From A1 It’s the home Foster grew up in and now owns, sharing the two-bedroom space with his wife Susan Birch and her twins, AbbyAnn and Kaleb, and his father Ernie. 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.”

He also credited Stack – “perhaps his greatest achievement” – with expanding the Clark Scholarship Foundation, which since the 1960s had awarded almost $100 million in college scholarships. In the 1960s, “two to three” scholarships a year were awarded to Cooperstown students.
After Stack got involved, it expanded to 12 school districts, with 10,000 students benefiting in the years since. Annually, 900 students receive $3.7 million in new or renewed scholarships, Moore said, concluding, “For those of us who have had the distinct honor of working alongside Ed, we will forever be indebted for his counsel and guidance.” “It was an opportunity to show how central he was to

For his part, Stack, who has been residing on Long Island in recent years, said he was at first reluctant to be the center of attention, but by evening’s end found he was fully enjoying himself.

in hand – the most visible change will be the removal of a wall, non-load-bearing the built in the 1960s, which now separates the children’s room from the reference room behind it. The larger open space, said Jastremski, will allow more flexibility in deploying children’s programs, and will also allow light from the west-side windows to illuminate the whole area. New artificial lights will also be installed, using LED bulbs. In the east-side room, where the circulation desk is located, the mantel on the fireplace, damaged when the plaster ceiling collapsed two years ago, will be repaired. A plasterer will be brought in to examine that ceiling, and will also examine the ceiling on the west-side room to ensure that plaster is firmly attached, and repair it as necessary. Also, the tile floor in the center hallway will be replaced with hardwood. There’s a 25 percent local match to the state grant – about $6,500 – and the Friends of the Village Library will contribute it. The overall renovation of 22 Main is dependent, for now, on an application for state economic-development funding. Trustees approved a CFA – a comprehensive funding application – that was submitted July 31 to the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council.

It’s sad.� Glen Highland Farms even helped file the report that brought criminal charges against Flat Creek Border Collies in Sprakers, where 40 dogs were rescued last year.

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.�

Chinese Restaurant With THAT NAME Closes
“Foo Kin Is Closed Permanently,” reads the sign
CLOSED/From A1 doors,. “Permanently,” according to a sign on the door. The building’s owner, C.J. Dimmick, who owns the Pratt Hotel, which houses both his Sherman’s Tavern and Foo Kin, said the The Freeman’s Journal Zhangs decided not to renew
their lease. Dimmick has plans for the full space, but nothing immediate. He’s planning building improvements in conjunction with the village’s sidewalk improvement program in 2016, and will talk about particulars after that. Mayor Jeff Katz said officials at Village Hall were as surprised as anyone by the news. Growing up, the Katzes’ three sons frequented the eatery with their friends. The family, said the mayor, will particularly miss dishes with chow fun, the thick Chinese noodle. The Zhangs have been part of village life since Dec. 8, 1991, when the parents, Yanie and John, opened Foo Kin’s. By 2006, the youngsters, Jon and Michelle – still in elementary school – were already fielding phone orders and working the cash register. That year, the family gained national prominence when they were featured in “My Hometown,” a feature of Family Circle magazine. The father said his business partner had sent him to Cooperstown 15 years before to scope out the market. “Once I saw how quiet the town was, and how polite people were, I knew I wanted to raise a family here.” In recent years, Mrs. Zhang ran the restaurant, while her husband got a job at Bassett Hospital.
2006 Freeman’s Journal photo
The Zhangs – from left, Michelle, Jonathan, Yanie and John – pose with Family Circle spread. Michelle and Jonathan graduated from CCS this year.
Meanwhile, the Zhang children, both members of the CCS Class of 2015, were making quite a splash. Young Johnny was track star, placing fifth in the triple jump at the state meet this year. At commencement Sunday, June 28, Michelle was one of the four top students who delivered the valedictorian address. She was fourth in the
class; Johnny was fifth, and they plan to attend SUNY Albany in the fall. Attempts to reach the Zhangs, who live in Hartwick Seminary, were unsuccessful. Foo Kin John’s closing leaves the China Wok in Cooperstown Commons as the only Chinese restaurant in the Cooperstown area.

OBITUARIES Therese Gadomski, 91; Helped Polish Resistance During WWII COOPERSTOWN – Therese Gadomski, 91, a mother of six and a distinguished World War II veteran, passed away July 27, 2015, in Englewood, Fla. Therese was born in Warsaw, Poland Sept. 21, 1924, and grew up there and in its outskirts where she developed a love of animals and flowers. Her teenage years were shattered by the outbreak of World War II during which she was a covert courier of gold and dollars to fund Poland’s underground Home Army.
During the Warsaw uprising, she was in an auxiliary nursing unit, was captured and reTherese Gadomski markably released shortly after the capitulation of the resistance fighters. Following World War II, she escaped Soviet domination by being clandestinely smuggled to Belgium where
George William Bassette, 91; World War II Vet, FAA Retiree
COOPERSTOWN – George William Bassette, 91, a World War II veteran, died Sunday, Aug. 2, 2015, at Fox Hospital. Born Dec. 13, 1923, in Wilmington, Del., George was the son of Malachi and Ivy Elizabeth (Murphy) Bassette. He was raised in New York City. During World War II, he served in the Army. Following his military service, he married Barbara Gwendolyn McIntosh on June 18, 1950. After living for a time in New York City, George and Barbara moved to Rockville Centre on Long Island where they raised their family. A graduate of Howard University, George was first employed by the New York City Housing Authority. He spent most of his career, though, as a civil engineer with the Federal Aviation Administration based at John F. Kennedy International Airport. In 1997, George and his
wife Barbara moved to the Cooperstown area. Following Barbara’s death in 2002, George lived in several places, most recently at The Plains at Parish Homestead in Oneonta. He had a spirit of adventure that led him in later years to earn a motorcycle license as well as a pilot’s license, and he was an active downhill skier into his 80s. George is survived by his two daughters, Nannette Bassette of Charlotte, N.C. and Lynda Bassette-Farone of Franklin. In addition to his wife, he was predeceased by a sonin-law, Michael Farone; and cherished cat, Ray-Ray. A memorial service is being planned for later this year. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Susquehanna Animal Shelter, 4841 State Highway 28, Cooperstown, NY 13326. Arrangements are entrusted to the Connell, Dow & Deysenroth Funeral Home.
