Hall of Famers applaud 2015 inductees Jeff Bagwell, right, and Ivan Rodriguez during their Induction Ceremony.
Inside the Induction: Since 9/11 attacks, guarding baseball’s legends, fans, has become top priority for Hall, local officials By GREG KLEIN As with a lot of things in America, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s Induction Weekend changed 20 years ago, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “Before, at Induction, you were thinking, ‘what if someone has a heart attack out here in the field?’ Suddenly, you had to think about a lot more things that could go wrong,” said Otsego County Board of Representatives Chair Dave Bliss. “Obviously, you have seen snipers on the rooftops, at The Clark Sports Center, and in the village on Main Street,” he said. “The FBI, the State Police, the Sheriff’s Department and the village police are all involved.” Before he was a county representative, Bliss was the town supervisor in Middlefield, where the Induction Weekend has taken place since 1992. He said the prep for each year’s event is led by the Hall, with heavy input from law enforcement. However, local officials are involved, too, he said. “I just talked with the Hall people (Thursday),” he said. “EMS, of course, and E-911 were involved.” Bliss said some of the matters were confidential, with the intent being a safe, incident-free ceremony Wednesday, Sept. 8.
“There are some things we discussed that I don’t know if I can say and there are some things we discussed that I don’t know if I should say,” he said. “There’s a lot of security and logistics where it is information I don’t think people would want out there.” Police from the state, county and Cooperstown will be directing traffic and keeping pedestrians safe most of the day Wednesday as crowds swell inside the village and then make the trek down Susquehanna Avenue to the Clark Sports Center. At 1:30 p.m., Baseball Writers’ Association of America selections Derek Jeter and Larry Walker, and Modern Era Committee selections Ted Simmons and Marvin Miller will be inducted in a ceremony projected to last about three hours. A year after the 2020 Induction was canceled, the mid-week, oneday 2021 event took form in June, as the coronavirus pandemic began to wane and vaccinations began to increase. Originally, the 2021 induction was envisioned as a television event, filmed from a top-secret studio location. The June announcement left the Hall’s Awards Presentation on its original Saturday, July 24, and it took place at The Glimmerglass Festival in Springfield Center. See Hall, Page B4

Federal, state and local law enforcement officials coordinate for every Induction HALL/Continued from Page B3 However, Hall officials expressed hope a ticket-only, limited-seating Induction Ceremony could take place outdoors in September. As pandemic rules loosened statewide, the original small ceremony expanded to become a normal event and the plan has not contracted, even in the face of a spreading Delta variant of the virus. In June, Hall officials said the Wednesday date, midweek and at the start of the Jewish high holidays, was one of a limited two or three days that worked for the rescheduled event. No other options were on weekend days, and no options were as attractive as Sept. 8, they said. Rescheduling involved Hall officials, the existing Hall of Famers, the inductees and their families and state and local officials. Although the village will not host its normal activities this year, including awards presentation and Saturday evening Parade of Legends on Main Street, village officials
are still involved in the event planning. The village Board of Trustees approved the annual closing of Main Street from Chestnut to Fair, to allow pedestrian traffic to spread out on Main. The closures this year will be Tuesday and Wednesday. Cooperstown Central School will not be in session Wednesday and nearby Milford Central School will send its students home midday to avoid post-induction traffic. Bliss said county employees will mostly work from home, although the state courts will be in session and many county workers will have to report to the county’s Cooperstown and Middlefield offices. Cooperstown Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh said the Induction prep is normally a paint-by-numbers affair, but the change in schedule has complicated a busy week, when parents and kids are focused on backto-school issues. “It is kind of a well-oiled machine with the Hall taking lead on it,” she
said. “The difference this year is it is midweek, of course, and several events have either already taken place or been cancelled.” One aspect of the village planning that few people realized is the anti-terrorism prep that state and federal officials do to make sure Cooperstown is not hit by an attack. The Saturday parade is a good example. In the aftermath of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, village officials started removing trash cans from Main Street before the parades to limit potential bomb locations. In 2019, the village upgraded to hightech trash cans that can be emptied and locked before events to prevent an attack. With the parade canceled, the trash cans are unobstructed, but merchants will hope the streets will still be full. Hall officials have said they don’t know what to expect, attendance wise, for this year’s induction. The pre-coronavirus predictions were Jeter’s Induction could rival the 2007
Greg Klein/The Freeman’s Journal
The village of Cooperstown’s new high-tech garbage cans can be locked to ensure no one can place bombs in them during the Legend’s Parade or during other Hall of Fame activities. Previously, village officials removed trash cans before the annual parade. With no parade this year, the trash cans will be open for business, according to local officials.
Induction of Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn, which drew an estimated 82,000 fans. No one is expecting that many fans Wednesday. Local officials said they have been told to prepare for 30,000 to 50,000, but those are vague estimates. A good or bad weather day, a good or bad week of Delta variant news could change things. Jeter being a New York hero means many of his fans can make day trips and can decide to drive to Cooperstown at the last minute, meaning late-breaking factors could play a bigger role for Jeter’s fanbase than, say, Larry Walker’s Colorado fans. The ceremony will be broadcast live on the MLB Network and MLB.com, as will a day-after Legends of the Game Roundtable. The Roundtable is usually a ticketed event held at Doubleday Field, but this year’s event will be without a crowd and only available for viewing online or on TV, Hall officials said.

Our best bets for local activities Larissa Ryan Business Manager Family Farm Day in Otsego County After being cancelled in 2020, Family Farm Day returned last weekend. I spent about half my Saturday driving around the county visiting farms, getting lost and learning about the local agricultural industry. One of the popular farms was Hulse Hill Farm. They had a food truck, are located right on Route 28 to the west of Cooperstown and had a whole bunch of animals for everyone to see. My favorites were the Cashmere goats, the Silkie chickens and Bella, the Tamworth pig, who was wandering the property trying to ignore the crowds of people. They had samples of cashmere yarn, made from wool of the cashmere goats, which was produced into scarves and shawls. There were even fabric kits available at the farm stand for the crafty people among us. After Hulse Hill, I got a bit lost and instead of visiting farms, kept driving north until I found a road I recognized. From there I found a few more farms, which I had not visited in the 2019 Family Farm Day. One was Home Roots Farm northwest of Otsego Lake. They had beautiful mums for sale, decorative chili plants and a ton of tomatoes available. You could see where they grew the tomatoes, as well as a huge variety of other vegetables and flowers. It’s enough to make any backyard gardener jealous. They also kept chickens, from the classic Barred Rock and Buff Orpingtons, to a tiny and beautiful Sebright bantam. My final stop for this year was at Dreamweaver Farm in Richfield Springs, a new addition to Family Farm Day. It was up the road
from Home Roots farm and specialized in beef, grains and purple cauliflower. I got a good look at their farm store. If you want to go for a short drive through Otsego County you can stop by for honey, locally raised beef and other products at this local farm. As always, Family Farm Day is one of my favorite local events and this year did not disappoint. I look forward to purchasing produce from the farms for the rest of the year and returning for tours when the day rolls around again. Family Farm Day www.cceschoharieotsego.org/family-farm-day Tara Barnwell Publisher Glimmerglass Queen One of my favorite fall activities is to take a tour on the Glimmerglass Queen in mid-October as close to the last tour that they offer. The Queen is a boat that takes you on a beautiful 45-minute trip around Lake Otsego. Summertime rides are great, but the fall tours are the best because the oranges, reds, and golden leaf colors reflect on the quiet waters of the lake. This time of year is when I always remind myself of what a beautiful area we live in and how lucky we are to be surrounded by this natural landscape. Often, I sit atop the Queen and gaze into the hills, totally relaxed. After the boat ride, we usually go to the Lake Front Restaurant for an early dinner. This isn’t a strenuous fall adventure but it is certainly one of the best! Glimmerglass Queen 10 Fair St., Coooperstown www.cooperstownlakefronthotel.com/boat-tours 607-547-9511, ext. 247
Kevin Limiti Reporter Rail Explorers Rail Explorers are something new to the area and absolutely worth looking into if you want some light exercise combined with a scenic route on the old railroad in Milford. The Rail Explorers is one of only a handful in the entire country. It works like a bicycle in which a group of either two or four peddle to keep the cart moving on the rail tracks. If you work particularly hard, you’ll be rewarded with butterflies in your stomach. The ride is not super intense just as long as the main operator of the cart keeps working; if they slack off, the rest of the passengers will have to work extra hard. My father and I did the Rail Explorers while he was visiting and we both agreed it was a ton of fun and quite an interesting experience. They book up pretty quickly so I recommend planning ahead. This is a great group activity in the outdoors. Rail Explorers 136 E Main Street Milford 877-833-8588 Danielle Crocco Marketing Consultant Great New York State Fair Having lived in Raleigh, North Carolina almost my whole life, going to the North Carolina State Fair was something I had done for as long as I can remember. I was excited when I found out that the Great New York State Fair wasn’t too far from where I live now. I was eager to see how it compared to the N.C. State Fair. The first thing I noticed was how organized the parking was. Once you parked, you got on a short bus ride that brought you
right to the main entrance of the fair. The first thing I ate was sausage and peppers. Then I made my way to the Hollywood Racing Pigs, which I hadn’t seen before. It was a short but good show! The vendors were spaced six feet or more apart and there were not as many rides as the N.C. State Fair because of COVID restrictions. I saw an advertisement for a barbecue sundae. I got that but with beef brisket instead of pork. There was cornbread on the bottom layered
with pit beans, mashed potatoes, beef brisket and topped with cole slaw and a cherry tomato. So good! The wine slushies were also amazing and refreshing since it was in the 80s. I made a mistake and had no cash, so there were a few food items I wanted to try, but was unable to sample. The Great New York State Fair is definitely something to go experience!

Burlington artist to give talk
Tom SHELBY The DOG CHARMER
Stories from a working dog’s life My two working dogs were Michelle and Mike, both Dobermans. Michelle found two people alive and some not alive. Mike tracked a woman 11 miles. They were search and rescue dogs. Readers, as you’re reading this you are dropping about 40 thousand dead skin cells a minute. You and I have about five million olfactory cells in our noses, Michelle had more than 200 million. The part of a dog’s brain that discerns what the smells are is about 40 times larger than a human’s, relatively speaking. When a person walks into a room and smells a chocolate cake in the making, your dog is aware of all the ingredients in the cake. When your dog smells where another dog peed, she knows the age, sex and health of the other dog. When you come home and your dog smells your pants, she knows where you were, who you touched and what you ate. It was Mark Twain who said, “If dogs could talk, no one would own them!” I should also mention what you can hear at 25 yards, your dog can hear at 100 yards. All my searches were memorable, but I’ll just mention the highlights of several. A father of two young children took a walk in the afternoon and didn’t return. By the time I was called, it was about 10 p.m. The house was filled with neighbors trying to help. I needed a clean scent article, something only touched by the father. He was a religious Jew, and the only reliably clean scent article was his prayer shawl at the top of a closet. Standing right next to the mother and two children, so Michelle could eliminate them as needed to be found in case they had touched the shawl, I scented her off it. She picked up his track on the door stoop (dropping all those skin cells every step) and headed to the right. I had her on a 40-ft leash attached to a harness. If she pulls hard that tells me she’s on his track. After more than an hour of tracking him through the suburban neighborhood, she took me into the middle of a street, and lost the track. That had me thinking he got picked up by a car. I went back to the house and restarted her, leaving the house, but this time going to the left, to let her air scent, off-leash, as the breeze was coming from that direction. A half hour later I was in a park when Michelle’s neon glow ring which was on
her neck, so I could see her movements in the dark started darting around instead of walking. She had picked up the scent! A few minutes later she came back and led me to him. He was lying on his back with a plastic bag over his face. It was now about 4 a.m. in November, and between the cold and my exhaustion, I was initially freaked out, thinking I was looking at some kind of alien, until I realized it was a plastic bag on his face. The cop with me said, “How come you’re acting so happy and giving the dog treats when we got a dead body?” “We found him because of the dog, she needs to be heavily rewarded!” was my answer. Next was the awful task of telling a wife and two kids of the find. Over my objections, it was ruled a suicide. Who kills themselves with a plastic bag? Once, during a bad snow storm in New Jersey, Michelle and a bloodhound were interested in a particular tree, but conditions were so bad at that point the search was called off until the blizzard abated. When we returned to continue the search we went to that tree to start, and the missing lady was a suicide hanging high in the tree. After that I made sure to include hiding up high in trees as part of the training regimen. We got a call about 8 p.m. for a missing lady. She and her husband were arguing about directions, at which point the husband said to the wife, “OK, you drive!” When she got out of the car, he drove off (to punish her?) and came back five minutes later to pick her up. But she was nowhere to be found, and the husband swore she had to have been kidnapped. I scented Mike off the car seat and he picked up her track immediately, which resulted in me being dragged 11 miles to her home. The wife was so angry she hid when the husband came back for her, and then proceeded to walk the 11 miles to her home. At least that one had a happy ending … well, a reasonably happy ending!

Local artist Tom Nussbaum will present an Artist’s Talk at the Art Garage at 5:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 3, at 689 Beaver Meadow Road near Cooperstown.

This show represents six decades of his work, beginning with the toys he invented in 1962 at age nine, and continues with a variety of colorful figurative and abstract work to his current series of inventive sculptures. Originally from Minnesota, Nussbaum is now based in Burlington Flats and East Orange. The show runs parallel to “The East Orange NJ Black Lives Matter Project” in the middle bay. That show features a five-minute documentary trailer about the creation of a 9,000 square foot mural, as well as artwork by five of the muralists, all women, who hail from the Newark area.
