dining&entertainment

Hall’s latest undertaking, a full-scale digitization project that will revitalize their website, preserve their archives and launch the mobile app designed to bring history right to your fingertips.

The Hall received a $750,000 grant in the latest round of CFA funding, the largest of a dozen grants the Cuomo Administration funnels into the region through the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council.

The state has now invested almost $1.2 million in the undertaking, with a $200,000 grant in 2012 to revamp baseballhall.org, and $234,000 in 2013 for the mobile app that will be launched later this year.

“We’ve got 40,000 items in our archives and only 12 percent of those are on display,” said Ken Meifert, vice president/sponsorship & development. “To digitize these items and make all of them available engages people with the Hall.”

If the website and app are a repository for content and a way to deliver it, the latest money will be used to create the content itself. “We want it to have a curatorial voice,” said Meifert. “Most fans want to know the story behind the object – it’s not just an old baseball bat, it’s about what the story behind that bat represents. That’s where the content comes to life.”

Also being considered is a 3-D scanner to allow visitors to the online archives a chance to look at the object – say, a baseball signed by a World Series winning team – from all sides.

Introduced to artifacts online, the idea is that fans will want to come to Cooperstown for the full experience.

And while it may be comfortable to look at the Hall from your living room sofa, Meifert believes it will bring visitors into Cooperstown.

“The more someone sees it on their monitor, the more likely they’ll come to Cooperstown,” he said.

“They know there’s no replacement for standing in front of Babe Ruth’s jersey, so they’ll get the family in the car and come to Cooperstown.”

It will also enhance the experience while in the museum. “If you’re standing in front of Willie Mays plaque, then you can pull up a video of him playing.”

The Hall will also continue and expand its partnership with Google’s Cultural Institute & Online Hangout Platform. “Two of our photo exhibits – “Picturing America’s Pastime” and “Images of Osvaldo Salas” – are part of their Cultural Institute as a curated, virtual presence,” said Brad Horn, vice president/communication & education. “And through Hangouts, we can share our education programs, like our Artifact Spotlight, with a virtual audience, like a video conference program.”

But it’s also about preservation. “The digital archives might outlive the actual artifact,” said Horn.

“So many of these items are fragile, and we’ll be able to photograph them in the best shape they’ll ever be in.”

It’s a long-term goal, but one both Horn and Meifert are convinced will fortify the Hall’s legacy. “It can’t be achieved overnight, but it will ultimately define who we are for the next generation,” said Meifert.

2 Main Local Bicycling Clubs Unite

DAR Provides Stars From Flags To Tell Soldiers, We Remember

Paceline, Central NY Clubs Plan ‘Non-Competitive Rides’ To Attract Newcomers

By LIBBY CUDMORE

M

arc Kingsley, owner of the Inn at Cooperstown, knows that bicycling with a group is even more fun than taking to the trails alone.

“Steven Smith and I got involved with cycling on his Paceline Sports team,” he said. “And we saw we were sharing a lot of the same riders as the Central New York Cyclist Club.”

The team started in 2005, formed to compete in regional races, including starting Brewery Ommegang’s Drops To Hops in 2011.

CNYC was formed by Peter Martin in 2000 and hosts the Check Your Legs and Butternut Valley races.

And now, the two clubs will merge. “We’ll add the Paceline elite team as a racing component, as well as to help mentor newer racers about training and race

etiquette,” he said. “Having people around who’ve done it before is a big help.”

“The club really attracts younger riders,” said Smith.

“We would love to see more junior riders get into the sport, so the club can really be a feeder system to the team.”

The merger is a local

piece of the rise in cycling throughout the country. “It started with Lance Armstrong, and even though he’s not everyone’s favorite person right now, it really opened people’s eyes to cycling,” said Kingsley. “It’s good, low-impact exercise, and it’s so much fun.”

Title 4 of the United States Code states: “The flag, when it is in such a condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.”

That usually happens on Veterans Day, as happened last month in Oneonta’s Neahwa Park, at Cooperstown’s Doughboy Statue and around the county.

On that holiday, 13 large stars were given to veterans at the Schenevus Central School’s annual Veteran’s Day Breakfast in November.

“We take the remnants of the flag to the American Legion for burning,” said Murray.

And there are still plenty of stars ready to be sent, especially as local churches and organizations begin packing Christmas boxes to send to the troops. “If anyone has a son, a daughter, a cousin or a friend serving overseas, we’ll send them a star.”

In 1942 Bessie, who had begun dating fellow Walton native Eugene DuMond, followed him to California where he had been sent for Army basic training following the start of World War II. There, before Eugene was shipped to the Pacific Theater on active duty, they were married.

Bessie then returned to Walton to await his return, but Eugene was one of his unit’s first casualties, sustaining a serious leg injury in Saipan. He was shipped to Staten Island for rehabilitation, where Bessie moved to be near him, and was at his side during his many operations and lengthy recovery.

She also served as a past president of the Women’s Club and was active as a volunteer for the Women’s Auxiliary of A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital and was a member of the Oneonta
