Taylor’s Deli Is Studio For Tammy Finch’s Creativity

F

or Tammy Finch, deli manager at the Taylor’s Mini Mart in Goodyear Lake, a moment of panic became a moment of inspiration. “One morning, I let the pizza dough rise too much,� she said. “I thought, ‘What am I going to do?’ So I cut it into slices, filled them with cheese and pepperoni, and served them with sauce on the side.�

These “Pizza Pockets� were a hit; 24 were sold in just four hours. “That’s not a lot for a place like Sal’s, but for our deli, it’s huge,� she said.

She continued experimenting with ingredients, including sausage and roast beef, and soon the Goodyear Lake deli was the biggest revenue-generator in the seven-store, Cooperstown-based operation.

Tammy, an Oneonta native, has lived in Cooperstown since 1995. She began working for Taylor’s in 2010 at the Cooperstown location, where she was introduced to the “Breakfast Pizza,� a pizza piled high with eggs, sausage and bacon.

Her own Pizza Pockets led her to other culinary creations, including a “Hot Dog Pocket,� inspired by the summer crowd of baseball families. “The dough gets all Ian Austin/ OTSEGO.yum soft and puffy, and they’re not Where many may see the mundane, Taylor’s Please See CREATIVITY, B2 Tammy Finch sees exciting possibilities.

Pepperoni Pockets Led To Hot Dog Pockets, Much More CREATIVITY/From B1 as messy as a piece of pizza.

I wouldn’t advise sticking them in your pocket, though.”

To design her fun new foods, Tammy starts by asking the store’s deli supplier what’s new and fresh and works with what’s on hand.

“We just started serving the ‘Cusabi’ pizza, which has a cucumber horseradish sauce and roast beef. The horseradish after-taste stays with you a long time.”

And she also takes inspiration from her family,

including daughter Stacie and sons Jonathan and Joe. “We had a make-your-ownpizza night, and my granddaughter, Kaitlyn, made this veggie pizza with bacon,” she said. “It was so colorful and really filling!”

But not all her pizzas make it past the trial stage.

“I asked if I could make a spinach, tuna and feta pizza like I had when I was on vacation in Turkey,” she said.

“But my manager didn’t think anyone would eat it. I love it, though, so I make it at home.”

And for dessert, she’s started adding cookies to her deli counter. “We have ones that we crumble Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on,” she said. “They’re to die for.

We always keep them by the oven so they’re warm when people buy them. No one can resist.”

They’re so delectable, she said, that she warns people not to eat the whole thing, but rather, share it with a friend.

She stopped making the Pizza Pockets for a while, but the demand continued.

“One man would come in and ask if we had them, and if we didn’t, he’d leave,” she said. “I knew we had to start making them again when I saw he came in twice in one week!”

And with summer coming, she’s starting to think of how to answer her favorite customer question – “Whatcha got today?”

“I want to do a cheeseburger and French fry pizza,” she said. “We always want to make the most out-of-the-way pizzas.”

Oneonta Chefs May Hit It Big With YouTube Video Making Fast Food Healthy

HELLTHY/From B1 in the style of Friday’s, replacing some of the fattier ingredients with Greek yogurt and turkey bacon. “If you grind up the bacon, you can get it all over the potato skin, but only use up half a strip of bacon,” said Lambiase. “I looked up how many calories they had if you ordered them, and they had 1,700.”

Their version, by contrast, only had 650 calories. “It’s still a lot, but that’s what ‘Hellthy’ is,” said Yarinsky.

“It’s about having your favorite junk food in moderation. It’s fresh, you can use

organic ingredients. It’s not healthy for you, but it’s better than what it could be.”

They take videos of their creative process, and post the results on YouTube.com, hoping to show other people that they, too, can have their cake – or Twinkie – and eat it too. “If we see that a food is trending, we’ll drop everything and make it,” said Julia.

And in keeping with their moderation message, at the end of each video, they take one bite, “For the hellth of it.”

Their videos soon got the attention of Daym Drops, a

popular YouTube food critic who was recently featured on Rachael Ray, and from there, they got a mention in one of Rob Dyke’s “Seriously Strange” YouTube videos.

“We woke up one morning around Christmas and our subscriber numbers were jumping,” said Lambiase. “We just kept refreshing the page. It was the best feeling.”

Currently, they have 156 videos, with a new one posted every Sunday, and 61,000 subscribers tuning in to see what they’re cooking next.

One thing that brings in viewers is the comedy they bring to their videos. The couple met when Lambiase brought his stand-up comedy routine to Julia’s Open Mic night at the Oneonta Theatre, and being funny has become a staple of their show. In their Christmas episode, they described their rum-soaked Twinkie recipe in a poem. And “Hellthy Fast Food” has also included parodies of Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” reality show and the face-off challenge of “Chopped” on Food Network, where contestants have to make a dish out of

five mystery ingredients.”

“One of the greatest things about the internet versus regular TV is you can interact with your audience,” said Lambiase. “We asked people to tell us what they wanted us to cook with in the comment section of one of our videos, and they did.”

As a result, the episode “COOK OFF w/Five Mystery Ingredients,” made up to look like a fast-paced “Chopped” competition, had Lambiase and Yarinsky squaring off to make a meal out of Jolly Ranchers, Doritos, bacon, mac & cheese

Does It Takes A Business To Promote Businesses?

BUSES/From A1 Wilber & Clark Enterprises own buildings that house several major Oneonta businesses, including the Shops at Ford & Main, McLaughlin’s, The Autumn Cafe and the newest project, the Shops at Main, which feature Liberty Tree Chocolates and the Oneonta Coin Company.

Go to the website and click at one of the locations on the interactive map, and you’ll be taken to a page complete with phone number, hours and a link to the store’s own site. “It’s a plus for every store,” said Rose. “And this website only shows some of the stuff downtown.”

The bus wrap debuted in January, and the three company Jeeps are similarly “wrapped” in an advertisement for the company, inviting people to take the bus downtown and see what Main Street has to offer.

“Public transportation is vital for any town,” said Paul Pat-

terson, public transit director.

“If someone sees this bright, warm, friendly looking bus, they’re going to think, ‘Let me check this out and see where it goes’.”

Destination Oneonta is doing a lot of work, but they’re including Southside, and Southside is doing fine,” said Clark. “I jumped on showcasing downtown.”

The next stage of their “downtown revitalization” project is to bring all their stores together to crosspromote each other during the busy summer shopping season. “It’s a plus for every store,” said Clark. “We want to see young businesses survive here.”

And their hope is that when people go to the website, they won’t just go to the store they click on, but see the Main Street as a whole. “We’ve got a vibrant downtown,” said Clark. “We need to remind people that it’s here.”

“Town and Gown” relations are beginning to emerge as one of the largest issues in the race. “The colleges are a terrific asset,” said Rafter.

“But we can do a great deal more.

We want to invite the students to do other things in Oneonta than party, and the colleges can do a better job inviting the community to enjoy what their institutions have to offer.”

“Part of the college is in the Fourth Ward,” said Dohner. “We have some strong relationships there, but some concerns still remain.”

“As I’m listening to the people in the Fourth Ward, they want to welcome students, but they also want to feel free to raise their families here,” said Back.

Housing is also an issue. “We want to make more housing for young professionals and low to moderate income professionals,” said Rissberger, chair of the Democratic campaign.

“And we have more than our share of vacant houses.”

“We need to be doing more to maintain the quality of housing and the quality of our neighborhoods,” said Rafter.

But there are still candidates to be announced. “It’s going to be a good race,” said Dohner.

FOCUS/From A1 said. “But I live in Oneonta, and I wanted to come home.”

Cayea starts Monday, April 27. A lifelong caregiver, she began her career as a certified nursing assistant in Binghamton in 1995. “I love taking care of people,” she said. “When I started out as a CAN, I trained under some really wonderful people, and it became a lifelong aspiration.”

With a background in social work – she graduated from SUNY Brockport and has a master’s from Syracuse – she got her first administrative job at United Methodist Homes in 2000.

She quickly soared in her career, serving on the board of examiners for Nursing Home Administrators.

She is also a member of the state Health Facilities Executive Board, serving

Cayea

as secretary/treasurer and working with the Convention Committee, as well as the Ethics & Grievance Commit-

tee.

And she brings with her the future of diagnostics and treatment for residents, including “telemedicine,” which allows Parkinson’s sufferers to receive diagnostics without having to travel long distances to see a specialist.

“There’s a computer and a camera in the clinic and another in the doctor’s office,” she explained. “It means the patients don’t have to be transferred out and make long, painful trips.”

She utilized this treatment at VestraCare, where she oversaw training the nurses and therapists in using the new method, and, as a result, they were awarded the Innovative Practice Award. They also took the same award, on the state and national level, for their treatment of Congestive Heart Failure, and were the 2014 recipients of the Bronze National Quality Award.

She plans to set up a similar clinic at Focus, as well as continue the speech therapy program that recently started. “With Parkinson’s patients, their voices eventually get reduced to a whisper,” she said. “We have a computer program that helps them practice speaking to keep that vocal strength up.”

Originally, Vestrcare was one of the bidders for Otsego Manor, the county nursing home sold to

Focus in December. “We are extremely pleased to have been able to recruit an individual with Shannon’s experience, knowledge and competitive spirit,” said Joseph Zupnik, Focus CEO. ”We became familiar with her work during her time with a former competitor and are glad to now have her on our team.”

Additionally, she is a member of the American Healthcare Association National Center for Assisted Living Quality Assurance Committee and Survey & Regulatory Committees, and was chosen as the 2013 Future Leader of America and New York State Young Administrator of the Year for Leading Age New York.

But most importantly, Cayea wants to make sure that under her watch, everyone at Focus is cared for in every aspect of their lives.

Common Core Advocate, Executive Principal May Go At Year’s End STRANG/From A1 is my great hope.”

Jastremski – she and her husband, George Hovis, have two children at CCS – was one of eight Common Core opponents who met Monday evening, April 20, in the school library with Superintendent of Schools C.J. Hebert and Mary Leonard, vice president of the school board to discuss the petition.

“We engaged in a construction dialogue regarding the concerns that they had,” said Hebert. “I thought it was a productive meeting.”

“The more important thing” – more important, in Jastremski’s view, than Strang’s departure – “is the board and the superintendent appear to be listening to the faculty,” she said.

On April 7, the eight had signed a cover letter to the petition and presented it to the school board, administrators and Cooperstown

Education Association President Ann Olmstead.

The letter refers to a March 8 faculty meeting, where teachers were told Strang intends to resign in June.

“Whether or not it is true, we suggest eliminating the salary for the executive principal/director of student services from next year prior to presenting it to the The Freeman’s Journal public,” said the letter.

It was signed by Jastrem- Kim Jastremski at March 4 CCS board ski, Hovis, Village Trustee meeting.

speech Jan. 31, Cuomo had proposed using Common Core scores to fire underperforming teachers and take over failing schools.)

“I think that the board realizes there is a significant segment of the taxpayers that are dissatisfied with the creation and job description and the expense of the principal position,” said Jastrewski.

The situation goes back to early 2013, when the school board, seeking to have the district excel in Common Core testing that then seemed the wave of the future, sought to hire a director of student services to focus specifically on that effort. After interviews, an applicant was given an offer, but found the benefits package insufficient and declined the job.

The position was then restructured as executive principal/director of student services, at a higher salary, $90,000, and Strang was

recruited from Hoosic Valley Central School, where she was director of instruction. She joined the district on July 15, 2013, with both High School Principal Mike Cring and Elementary Principal Teresa Gorman reporting to her.

Hearing of Cooperstown’s approach, the state’s thencommissioner of education, John King, visited CCS classrooms in March 2014.

Based on tests Grade 3-8 pupils took the next month, Cooperstown Elementary was named a “Reward School” that August, placing it in the top 5 percent of schools in the state.

In a statement read at the March 18 school board meeting, President David Borgstrom described the Common Core strategy as a way to position CCS as “a regional leader in education, for the benefit of our students and staff alike.”

Strang’s position, Borgstrom said, “has allowed the dis-

trict to not only keep pace with the changes in public education; it has allowed it to respond to the concerns of parents for an increase in academic opportunities for students.”

At Monday’s meeting, while the group of eight received “a pretty good explanation” of the board’s motivation, Jastremski said, “I think they also recognize that the specific hiring process with that position was where they made their mistake. That’s probably not something they will tell you, but I think I can comfortably tell you that.”

She continued, “the faculty was under the impression they were going to receive an administrator to help them with curriculum development, and not an executive principal. The faculty welcomes someone to help them with curriculum. If that’s what the faculty wants, then that’s what I want as well.”

NEXT/From A1 the needs of the children.”

The deadline for petitions to run for school board was Monday, April 20, and Jastremski said she and her group are supporting SUNY Oneonta professor Trevor Fuller, Cooperstown; Tabetha Rathbone, Delaware Otsego Corp. vice president and CFO, Hartwick, and parent Laurie Williams, Cooperstown, who were active in the anti-Common Core fervor that broke into the open locally in early March.

That would pit Fuller, Rathbone and Williams against Anthony Scalici, Cooperstown, who has served on the school board for almost 20 years, often as president; against incumbent Marcy Birch, Toddsville, entrepreneur and former school psychologist, and against newcomer Mary Bonderoff, Middlefield, SUNY Oneonta’s director of multicultural services.

The League of Women Voters’ Cooperstown chapter

was seeking to schedule a candidates’ forum for Monday, May 11. Details will be forthcoming.

Last year, only nine CCS students in Grades 3-8 opted out of statewide standardized testing in math and English language skills (ELA). This year, 250 students – 60 percent of those eligible – declined to take the tests. Statewide, an estimated 175,000 students opted out in hundreds of districts.

This year’s testing began Tuesday, April 14, and was to continue through Thursday, April 23. Jastremski called the opt-out “wielding a power we have a right to wield.”

“I think that the public needs to consider voting for new board members,” she said. Voters need to question “whether the people we have on our board of education are interested in a school that looks like Cooperstown wants it to look like, or what Albany wants it to look like.”

The sudden resistance to the Common Core was spurred by Governor Cuomo’s Jan. 21 State of the State Speech, where he called for linking teacher evaluations to standardized-test scores. He sought authority for teachers whose pupils fail for three years to be fired, and for the state to take over chronically failing schools.

Parents and teachers came out in force at CCS board meetings March 4 and 18, and at a public meeting organized by Opt Out CNY Sunday, March 8, in Village Hall.

The collapse of Common Core has educational leaders unsure where to turn.

“I was surprised by the number of opt outs,” said Nick Savin, superintendent at ONC BOCES, the umbrella for 19 local school districts, including CCS, “because I do think that assessment is part of instruction. You have to have a sense of how students are performing so they can ad-

just their work, and teachers can adjust their teaching to be able to help students.”

“I’ve been thinking about this a lot,” said CCS Superintendent of Schools C.J. Hebert. “I see it as a lot of messaging that is combined into one very overt demonstration of dissatisfaction.

And I think that is dissatisfaction with the governor’s stance. I think it is some dissatisfaction with the way testing operates in New York State. Some of it is the frequency and reliance on testing. Some of it is that results are not immediately available for parents, students and teachers to utilize.”

Given the extent of the opt-out, Hebert found it “baffling” that the state Education Department didn’t immediately seek a waiver from the federal Department of Education to delay the testing; the opting out means there’s “little chance of providing any valid scores and comparisons,” the whole point of the process.

SOVOCOOL/From A1 a 2010 marathon in Tucson, Ariz., where he realized that he was already halfway through a goal he hadn’t yet set. “I thought, ‘Wow, I’ve done marathons in 26 states’!” he recalled.

“That’s when I got serious and decided to run in all 50, but I knew I had to do it soon or risk injuring myself.”

Injury was something he knew very well, having spent a year recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2010. “I had run Boston, then the Kentucky Derby Marathon six days later, and I was doing the Running Hall of Fame half-marathon,” he said. “All of the sudden, I was in excruciating pain, but, like an idiot, I didn’t stop.”

He’s fallen in icy mud puddles in Washington. He’s climbed over boul-

ders on trail marathons in Utah and intense heat in Texas. “They all have their own charms,” he said.

In total, he’s run 92 marathons, including races in London and Greece.

“I ran the original marathon that Pheidippides was fabled to have run in 490 B.C., from Marathon to Athens,” he said. “It’s so great to look up and you’re running past the Parthenon.”

He’s also run “Ultra-Marathons,” 100 mile runs over 24 hours. “You meet the coolest people at those races – people who know it’s going to be hard, who know they will face pain, tough times and possible injury, but they’re up for the challenge because they have that core of confidence.”

On Saturday, April 18, he was hon-

ored with a party at the Clark Sports Center, where his T-shirts and bib numbers were put on display. “I was a little embarrassed,” he said. “I’ve never had a party thrown in my honor in my life!”

And although there are no more marathons on the horizon, he’ll be at the starting line at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 25, for the Fly Creek Cider Run, and later for the Boilermaker in Utica.

“I’d love to do the Tuff eNuff” in Oneonta, he said.

But he doesn’t run for the glory or even the thrill of crossing the finish line. “It’s about pushing the limits,” he said. “So many people are scared to get out of their comfort zone, so they never try anything new.”
