UNCAS/From B1 – of the Glimmerglass fleet, only Jane Forbes Clark’s Narvamattah (“Pure as the driven snow”) is older – pass unnoticed.

At dusk on the Fourth of July, Hager is planning a 15-minute fireworks display – relatively short, “but intense,” he said – off Three Mile Point, and hopes boats from around Otsego Lake will meet in the waters there to honor one of the most venerable of its number.

Maybe Kent Barwick will be there on The Gardenia, built by Cooperstown’s A.H. Gazely, boatmaker from 1886 until about 1920.

Maybe Bill Michaels will be there aboard the Wah-tawah, an 80-year-old Richardson. It will be the place for boats to be and be seen.

As Lou Hager relates it, August Busch I, his great-grandfather -- of the Anheuser Busch family of St. Louis, Mo. -- became acquainted with Otsego Lake early in the 20th century, on passing by private car through what was then the largest hops-growing region in the country.

August was taken by Otsego Lake’s beauty -- that, and the hops, reminded him of the family’s home region in Germany -- and he bought Uncas Lodge (where Lou’s sister now lives), across from Three Mile Point, from a hops merchant, Simon Ullman, in 1904.

When he passed away in 1934, The Chief Uncas passed from August to his daughter, Alice Busch Gronewaldt, but it was actively used by her son, Lou Hager Sr., who died in 1988.

When Mrs. Groenewaldt died in 1995, the boat became Lou Jr.’s.

For a period around 1980, the boat was owned

by Richard Miller, a retired transit police officer from New York City, who oper-

ated Chief Uncas Boat Tours for a number of years, seven trips a day, 30 people per trip, seven days a week.

That’s a lot of wear and tear, said Tom Krieg, the master boat builder who tends most of the local antique launches, including this one. When The Chief Uncas passed back into family hands, Krieg estimates he replaced 20 percent of the frame, bottom planks and side planks.

Family members then operated Lake Otsego Boat Tours from 1986 to 2000, when Lou Hager Jr. began spending more time in the county – he had bought Northern Eagle Beverage, Oneonta, from Diz Lamonica – and on the lake, and took a renewed interest in the wooden antiquity.

If the Chief Uncas went through a full circle of ownership, it also went through a technological full circle.

At one point, the electric engines that Adolphus had insisted upon the second time around had been replaced by gasoline ones. Concerned about how gasoline engines might contribute to the pollution of Otsego Lake, Hager and Krieg collaborated in 2011 to reconvert The Chief Uncas to electricity.

Fifty-five feet is long, longer than modern boats. At first, Spin Craft of Ottawa, Ont., provided two of its normal electrical generators to power The Chief Uncas, but they proved insufficient, Krieg said, opening a hatch to reveal a bank of large batteries below. The second time around, sufficient power was brought to bear.

“It was awesome to see a 55-foot boat back away silently from the dock,” said Krieg. For Hager, gliding toward the Sleeping Lion, silently, hearing the waves lap against the wooden hull, is a delight.

Organic Beer The most important principle of good health: DO NO HARM Consuming the wrong kinds of fats & oils is downright destructive! Stay away from hydrogenated oil, “vegetable” oil, Canola oil and all rancid & over-heated oils. In my opinion, use organic butter and organic coconut oil for cooking & organic olive or flax oil for cold dressings. This simple change will have a large impact on your health.

CROFT/From B1 baritone, has sung with opera greats such as Pavarotti, Mirella Freni and Nicolai Ghiorov and performed in “Billy Budd,” “Pélleas et Mélisande,” “The Great Gatsby” and “The Marriage of Figaro.”

“Opera is fun. You can have a good time doing certain roles,” he said. “But it’s too serious too much of the time. I can’t even remember the last time I did an opera where I was sad when it ended. But a week and a half into rehearsal and I’m already sad about it ending.”

Croft built a home in Cooperstown in 2006, but hadn’t joined up with Glimmerglass Opera until now.

Marcia Milgrom Dodge, the director, asked him to come up with a list of musicals he wanted to do, and “The Music Man” was at the top of his list. “I got to her apartment and I didn’t even have to say anything to her,” he said. She told him: “I really want to do ‘The Music Man’ with you as Harold Hill.”

Not only is playing Harold Hill at Glimmerglass a welcome homecoming, but there was another local

surprise in store as well. “I did theater with Nancy Tarr and Patrick Wagner, who didn’t know each other at the time,” he said. “They met after graduation and got married ... and their son Henry is playing Winthrop.

He’s so good that he can bring a lump to my throat.

To do that, at 9 years old, is really quite amazing.”

“It’s the best staged musical I’ve been in,” he said.

“The dialogue is still funny and the end scene can still give you goosebumps. It still breaks your heart – it’s not dated at all.”

WHAT’S COOKIN’ AT THE OTESAGA? The July 4th holiday is almost upon us so here’s a delicious summer steak recipe that Dad can prepare on the grill for the whole family.

Grilled Herb Mustard Steaks SERVES 4: 2 well-trimmed boneless beef top loin or ribeye steaks, cut 1 inch thick (approx 1 lb) 1 teaspoon kosher salt per steak

In 1-cup glass measure, combine garlic and water; microwave on high 30 seconds. Stir in remaining mustard ingredients; spread onto both sides of beef steaks.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt per side.

Place steaks on grill over medium heat or ash-covered coals. Grill top loin steaks, uncovered, 15 to 18 minutes (ribeye steaks 11 to 14 minutes) for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally.

Carve steaks crosswise into thick slices.

Graham Bennett Nance points to his Eden Eagles battery mate, after the catcher threw out a runner trying to steal second.
