Jacques Cousteau’s “The Silent World,” part of the three-day Glimmerglass Film Days, will be screened at 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, at Templeton Hall, Pioneer and Church, Cooperstown.

Ian Austin, Jim Kevlin/

A chopper flying repeatedly over Cooperstown one Wednesday in October reminded folks: The state police Canine Unit has been quietly training dozens of dogs a year from its facility on Chicken Hill Farm Road since 2000, when a Clark Foundation grant enabled construction of a state-of-the-art facility there. That day, K9 trainees were being acclimated to riding in helicopters.

o many choices, but Diff knows he has to make the right one.

He sniffs a suitcase, a box, then goes back to the suitcase to claw at it. It’s where the synthetic heroin is hidden, and trainer Rob Turnbull of Oneonta’s Troop C, rewards him with his toy. “They do it all for the toy,” said Turnbull.

“It’s how we train them to sniff out the drugs – we put the toy in the box, then later, we put the drugs in with the toy, then just the drugs.”

Diff is one of 14 dogs training at the Canine Training Academy on Chicken Farm Hill Road, just up East Lake Road. For 20 weeks, he and Turnbull will train, sleep and play together in the 18-bed-

Sock Hop Turns Doo-Wop To Good Purpose SOCK HOP/From B1 Carla’s daughter Caryn was a performer, and Tom Pondolfino, Jeff Wood, Mary Francis Perricone and Judy Pitel joined the lineup. Caryn’s rendition of “Build Me Up Buttercup” is a crowd favorite, and Jeff adds some country flair to “On The Wings of the Dove.”

“Mary Francis grew up singing doo-wop on the street of Brooklyn with her dad,” said Balnis. “Jeff Wood brings a taste of country to every song he does, and when Tom Pondolfino

puts on his patent leather shoes, you know he means business!”

The performers aren’t paid, so all the money raised goes directly to the charity. “We ask the performers to pick charities that mean something to them,” she said. “That’s how we pay them.”

The Sock Hop has raised funds for the American Legion, the Oneonta Free Medical Clinic, the Oneonta Fire Department, Main Street Oneonta (MSO), food banks, Family Services and hospice organizations. “We

just did one that helps find new homes for the dogs of hospice patients,” Balnis said. “And two dogs got adopted that night!”

But it’s not just the charity that benefits from a night of boogying. “We’re helping so many people,” said Carla. “The venue gets the sales from the bar and food, the charity gets the door, and we’ve even had kids use us for their community service projects.”

And though the Sock Hops only cost $5 to get in, they’ve raised over $40,000 so far. “We didn’t realize

how starved this area was for affordable entertainment,” said Balnis.

The next Sock Hop will is Saturday, Nov. 8 at the First United Methodist Church, with proceeds going to RoboKronos, and the church’s teen handbell choir and summer camp fund.

“We hosted one four years ago, and it was so successful, we’re bringing it back,” said Gardner.

The event will also feature authentic diner fare, a silent auction, a huluhoop and costume contests.

“We have over 140 items, including dinner gift certificates, concert tickets, even a weekend in a cabin in the mountains,” said Gardner.

Costumes are a big part of the event for both the performers and the dancers.

“There’s one older gentleman who comes out wearing his original letter jacket!” she said. “And the parents who bring their kids, they go all out on the costumes.”

But at the end of the night, Balnis knows it’s not about the money or the

inbox full of requests for performances. “I have this quote that I printed up on the banner we hang at all the sock hops,” said Balnis.

“’You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.’

That’s why we do this.”

Through Training, K9s, Officers Become Unit K9 UNIT/From B1 Rochester. “It’s about training the handler.”

The school was built in 2000 with a donation from The Clark Foundation, and the first class graduated in 2001. Since then, 81 dogs have graduated.

The classrooms downstairs have a locker room to practice school searches; a mock apartment to practice searching under beds, in couches and kitchen drawers, and a pipe wall, where one trooper will place the scent inside one of over two dozen pipes for the dog to find.

There’s even has a playground for afternoon fun – and exercise.

The dogs are named for fallen troopers – Diff is named for Arthur Diffendale, who was killed after Wearing a “bite suit,” Troopattempting to stop a cattle thief in er R.J. McDonnell shows 1951.

dogs are,” said Turnbull.

The dogs are trained in drug sniffing and human tracking, or taught to detect bombs. “Bombsniffing is a passive alert, meaning they lie down when they smell something,” said McDonnell.

“With tracking and drugs, it’s an aggressive alert, meaning they claw and bite when they find something.”

The dogs are also trained in handler protection. One trooper will get inside a “bite suit” and the other will give a command to attack. “They’re good at protecting us,” said Drew Zeigler, Saugerties.

Following his retirement, he worked part-time in the golf departments of the Sea Pines and Palmetto Dunes Companies in Hilton Head, S.C. He was a passionate golfer and longtime member of the Oneonta Country Club.

She preceded him in death by two years.
