Receiving Albert Morris Award, D’Imperio Recounts How It Was Almost Gibbs Award

DJ

and Upstate historian Chuck D’Imperio expressed his thanks on receiving the Greater Oneonta Historical Society’s 20th annual Albert E. Morris Award Sunday, Oct. 18, during a reception at the History Center.

He then recounted why it almost wasn’t so.

Back in 1908, the City of Oneonta had just formed and Morris was the Republican candidate for the new municipality’s first mayor. The Democrat was a George Gibbs.

Because of the novelty, a lively campaign ensued, punctuated by rallies and torchlight parades. On Election Night, the vote was so close, “everyone went to bed at 2 a.m. without knowing who won.”

The next morning dawned with the news that Morris had won – by two votes.

Those two votes “is why I’m not receiving the George Gibbs Award here today,” D’Imperio told an appreciative and applauding audience.

D’Imperio, a Sidney native – his first book was “My Town Was A Cathedral: My Memories of Sidney” – has published seven books on Upstate history, his most recent “A Taste of Upstate New York,” on iconic foods developed in the Empire State, from

Oneonta-Based Witch Inspired To Pen Novels, Studies On The Subject WITCHES/From A1 co-owner of The Artisan’s Guild on Main Street, has channeled the wonder of that first ritual into a successful writing career, with her first novel, “Wickedly Dangerous,” part of a fourbook series updating the adventures Baba Yaga, a traditional Russian witch.

“I was raised in a Russian-Jewish household, so we heard stories of Baba Yaga,” she said. “And although we were told that she eats children, what I found is that unlike most witches fairy tales, Baba Yaga is good or evil depending on those who come to her. She can help people.”

She updated the stories, turning Baba Yaga’s into Barbara Yager, her magical hut that walked on chicken legs into a Airstream trailer, the mortar and pestle she flies around on into a classic BMW motorcycle. And her faithful companion, the dragon Chudo-Yudo is now a pitbull. “A dragon would draw too much attention,” she said.

A second book in the series, “Wickedly Wonderful,” featuring protagonist Beka Yancy, was released last December, and a third and forth, “Wickedly Powerful,” with the third Baba Yaga incarnation, Bella Youngs, and Barbara Ygaer returning in “Wickedly Ever After,” are slated for publication in January and February 2016.

“I’ve always loved cats, but my Baba Yagas always have dogs,” she said. “My fans kept asking me, ‘Why don’t you make ChudoYudo a cat, so Bella has her dragon disguised as a cat.”

In the meantime, she has a new e-book coming out in November, titled “Veiled Magic,” about a witch-cop who specializes in talking to the dead victims. An excerpt, titled “Dead and Gone,” is available on her website, www.deborahblakeauthor.com.

In addition to her fiction, Blake has also written a series of non-fiction books, starting with 2007 “Circle, Coven and Grove,” a spell book and guide for budding Wiccans, published

by Llewellyn. “It’s accessible witchcraft,” she said.

“I wanted a book that had information about the first year, new moons and starting a coven, but I couldn’t find one, so I wrote it.”

She’s written seven more guides, most recently, “Everyday Witchcraft” in 2014, which invites Wiccans to integrate their ancient beliefs into practical, everyday life.

She also writes a monthly column for Witches and Pagens magazine.

POLITICAL LETTERS

Reelect Hurley-Quackenbush To the Editor: Town of Oneonta voters considering the upcoming election for county representative can be assured they’ve got the right candidate in their current county rep – Janet Hurley-Quackenbush.

No “Janie come lately” to the town, Janet was born and raised in Oneonta and served with commitment on the Town Board for more than a decade before voters elected her to the county board two years ago.

On the town board, Janet focused on getting results for town taxpayers in securing and developing familyfriendly town parks, holding the line on budgets and protecting our residential

neighborhoods.

On the county board, Janet knows that families sitting at the kitchen table are trying to decide what they can afford, and why the property tax cap is so important to a family’s financial security.

She understands that economic growth is about both jobs and careers – so that our young people can stay and use their college educations right here in Otsego County.

County Rep. Janet Hurley-Quackenbush is an able, effective voice for the Town of Oneonta, and I urge town voters to join me in re-electing her to the county board.

northern 11 acres, with the open lakeside meadow and wide lake views to the north and south. It is the only view of Kingfisher Tower free to the general public – and the only free public access to Glimmerglass’ shores other than the Village of Cooperstown’s Lakefront Park. (Anyone can pay $7 to enter Glimmerglass State Park, or $20-$93 to play the two golf courses, and village and adjoining town residents only can use Three Mile Point and Fairy Spring parks for free.)

We should be able to depend on Otsego County government to capitalize on opportunities like this, but county reps right now are desperately seeking to plug a $9 million budget gap that appeared out of nowhere.

The Otsego Town Board, regrettably, got talked out of taking Brookwood on, but it should reconsider that decision.

Meanwhile, any sale must be approved by 80 percent of the Land Trust’s 20-member board. That means five directors can block it. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that, if any the proposals survive Land Trust vetting, the sturdy five may be found to do the right thing: Reject privatization of the last significant remaining public access to Glimmerglass, and embrace the possibilities to improve the quality of local life for everyone.

125 Years Ago

The Local News – John McGuirk was intoxicated Saturday night, and is as usual for him in such cases, he resisted arrest. When the officers tried to escort him to the cooler he sat down on the sidewalk, vowing he wouldn’t go. With some little effort he was got to the lockup, an excited crowd having gathered in the meantime, and there he was kept until Sunday morning, when, on payment of a fine of $15 he was released.

It is not well for anyone to neglect seeing that his name is properly on the poll list, even if he voted last November. The great change in district boundaries, increasing the number of polling places from three to nine, renders it not impossible that even with the greatest care, some names rightfully belonging on the list may be omitted. Every voter should then make sure that his name is enrolled. A large number of voters were registered on Saturday last in the eight districts of the village, 1,890 names being enrolled.

In 1890, an “off year,” 1,977 votes were cast and in 1888, there were 2,218.

St. Mary’s School has decided not to participate in the Oneonta City School District’s remedial instruction program because it could not reach an agreement on how to provide the instruction. A recent Supreme Court ban on public school teachers providing remedial instruction in parochial classrooms was the cause of the problem. Several options suggested by the state were discussed, but none proved acceptable. St. Mary’s principal, Sister Maureen Foy, said the school cannot provide Title I remedial instruction because it does not have the staff. Efforts continue to work out a plan for remedial instruction within the St. Mary’s building.

All vehicles will be compelled to take the lower bridge or the one at Emmons until the work is completed, which will be accomplished as speedily as possible, it is hoped, within a week. The expense of the work is divided equally between the city and the town. The improvement will be appreciated by those who reside within range of the noisy rattle of the old plank and by those who have traveled over the bridge of late.

James J. Killian, Jr., president of M.I.T. says that never before in history has there been so little reason for going to war, and so many deterrents to war as today. He points out that modern science has given man the means for solving those two great global problems – famine and poverty – the classic causes of past wars. Moreover, current weaponry is so destructive that both men and governments are now genuinely afraid of war. As a result, he maintains, the prospects for lasting peace have never been so bright. However,

sters, ages six and seven, confessed that they had made up the story of a young fisherman falling off a dam abutment into the rain-swollen waters. The youngsters’ names were withheld because of their ages. As the story was told, firemen were presented with a vivid image of a person falling, then struggling to escape the current and scratching desperately at a slick concrete wall before being washed downstream. Authorities became suspicious because no one was reported missing after each family in the area was contacted. However, there was a second actual disappearance when fireman William Coleman missed a ride back to Hobart from a downstream search area. He reappeared eventually, thoroughly soaked. The boys admitted their lie to their father. Sheriff Levon A. Telian declined to bring charges and later remarked, “At least we had a good drill.”

Marietta Will Deliver On Promises He Makes To the Editor: I was surprised to read in Rick Hulse’s campaign postcard today, seeking re-election as an Otsego county representative, that he “delivered” (past tense) nearly $42,000 in bed-tax revenue for Cooperstown and Otsego.

Sounds great! “Getting it done” he said. “Getting results.” What a guy!

The problem is that “for” does not mean the same as “to”.

The fact is that when Rick Hulse could have “delivered” bed-tax money “to” both Cooperstown and Otsego with a “YES” vote last December, he voted “NO.” He singlehandedly killed the bed-tax money distribution in Otsego County for 2015. He did vote “yes” this past summer on an “intent” to distribute in 2016.

Rick Hulse is chair of the Government Efficiency Committee. A committee, I believe, that may have been created for him to chair upon his first term election to the county board.

Day after day we read that the Republican-led board has overseen what they themselves have declared a “financial budgetary crisis.”

With millions in debt, possible drastic department cuts and talk of layoffs and serious borrowing, are we to believe that bed-tax money will make the final cut and be “delivered to” the Village of Cooperstown and Otsego?

We will not know for sure until AFTER the elections.

But what are responsible voters to think when we vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3? Do we roll the dice or cut our loses?

I can tell you that as of to-

Attentive, Hulse Has New Ideas To the Editor: I have been involved in the Town of Otsego for over 15 years, mostly on the Planning Board, but also as the liaison to the Town Board, as a Fly Creek firefighter, and a member of the Otsego County Special Ops team and the fire police.

Over that time, I have seen and dealt with many county representatives, but never have I seen a more responsive representative than Rick Hulse.

He attends most Town Board meetings, and therefore is up to date on local issues. His opponent has yet to attend. I have had to call him on numerous occasions for many of the above listed organizations. His response is always swift and effective.

He has brought fresh new ideas to the Board of Representatives, not the least of which is cooperation with other counties to improve purchasing power and thus saving the county taxpayers money.

I respectfully request that the voters, regardless of party affiliation, return this highly effective representative for another term. Vote Rick Hulse for county representative.

JOHN R. PHILLIPS Fly Creek

day, NO bed tax money has been received by the Village of Cooperstown despite Rick Hulse’s claims and word play.

Contrast this shell game with the proven track record of Andrew Marietta, the local Democratic candidate for the Otsego County Board of Representatives, who is campaigning to replace Rick Hulse.

Andrew Marietta is a well-known, well-respected, hard-working, well-rounded, people-oriented, multi-faceted community service leader who delivers the goods, not just words, day after day.

Please go to www.AndrewMarietta.com to learn more about Andrew. You will be very impressed with Andrews extensive list of real world accomplishments and years of dedication in service to the residents of Otsego County.

Community service is Andrew’s full-time job. I am asking for your support to elect Andrew Marietta as our next new Otsego County Representative for District 8.

I am also asking for your support for all of the other fine, hard working, publicspirited candidates, throughout Otsego County, who are fully supported by the county Democratic Committee, for the many other important positions to be filled in the local governments in Otsego County. They are listed at www.OtsegoCountyDemocraticCommittee.com.

Please vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3. We build the future we want with our votes.

THURSDAY-friday, OCTOBER 22-23, 2015

In First Term, Hulse Showed He Worked On Solutions To the Editor: The citizens of the Town of Otsego are facing an important decision when it comes to voting for their Otsego county representative this year.

Current county representative for District 8, Rick Hulse, Jr., is running for reelection on his record. During his first term, Representative Hulse has served the county well as chair of the county Government Efficiency and Intergovernmental Affairs committees, as well as being an active member of the Administrative, Budget and Human Services committees. His goal as a county representative has always been to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the county government.

Additionally, Representative Hulse realizes that there is still work to be done at the county level. He sees the need to fight oppressive, unfunded, as well as under-funded, mandates from Albany.

He recognizes the importance of questioning everything while working on solutions that will reduce financial risk as well as the tax burden of residents of the county. As he points out on his website, www.rickhulsejr. com, the county needs to keep taxes

low, encourage business, help train the workforce and consider new ideas such as working collaboratively with neighboring counties.

In the upcoming election, Representative Hulse is being challenged by potential newcomer to the county board, Andrew Marietta, who currently serves on the Cooperstown Central school board. Thus, if elected, Marietta would be representing the citizens of the Town of Otsego on two very important boards at the same time.

And the potential of doing so would seem to not be in the best interests of either board.

The demands of serving on the CCS board are not insignificant. The importance of the board which has the responsibility for the education of our children cannot be overstated. Likewise, the responsibilities of the Otsego County Board are vital to the overall well being of our area and touch the lives of every resident in the county.

Thus, the thought of having someone serving on both the school board and the county board at the same time is somewhat troubling to say the least.

Voters of the Town of Otego should think long and hard about who they

choose to represent them. And it would seem that both the school board and the county board would benefit from having representatives who are focused on only one board at a time.

The citizens of the Town of Otsego, as well as the citizens of Otsego County, would be well served by the reelection of the current county representative for District 8. Please make your voice heard for the future of Otsego County by voting on Tuesday, Nov. 3 for Rick Hulse, Jr., the one candidate who has chosen to focus his public service solely on the Otsego County Board of Representatives.

Marietta = Inclusion To the Editor: Democracy should be centered around the inclusion and common good of all people.

Marietta: County Board Offers Opportunity For More Service To the Editor: I am writing to clarify any confusion or misperception regarding my role on the Cooperstown Central school board and my Otsego county representative candidacy.

I am dedicated to making the Cooperstown school district the best in the region and leverage our success to attract people to our community and increase enrollment.

I have served over three years in this role and my current term is nearing completion in June 2016.

Now, as I pursue betterserving Cooperstown and the Town of Otsego as our District 8 representative, my

role with the school board will end. From the first day I committed to running for county rep, I discussed my departure with the school board.

Of course, I would like to finish my commitment to the school district, but I will carry out whatever is in the best interests of the school district and Otsego County.

Faced with community service to our school district or serving Otsego County as the District 8 representative is a good problem to have, and I look forward to addressing it in the near future.

ANDREW MARIETTA Fly Creek

Hulse Applies Keen Business Sense To the Editor: Rick Hulse has worked effectively and expeditiously for the residents of Otsego County. His keen business sense results in re-thinking and re-visioning what has become a somewhat routine practice in county government. He has an ambitious agenda and knows all too well that while his loyalty is to the Town of Otsego, his actions and decisions impact all of Otsego County.

His business savvy is teamed up with his experience in the non-profit arena as well. He is, and has been

involved in several nonprofit organizations with successful results. Planning strategically is one of his top hallmarks and we know it’s essential to creating change in a positive way and on a solid base of factual information.

I urge you to check out more about Rick and his accomplishments, in his first term on the county board, at www.rickhulsejr.com and consider casting you vote for him on Nov. 3.

RICH McCAFFERY Cooperstown

Marietta Brings Integrity, Dedication To the Editor: As a recent graduate of Cooperstown Central School, president of both the Leo Club and Student Council, I found Mr. Marietta to be an honest, dedicated school board representative.

He worked hard for the students in Cooperstown and even took time to give me advice about Soles to Share, the non-profit organi-

zation I created.

With full confidence, I am sure that he will bring that same integrity, hard work and dedication to the county representative position.

I fully support his candidacy and hope the residents of the Town of Otsego will vote for Mr. Marietta on Nov 3.

Closing Main Street Hurts Downtown Businesses

To the Editor: A few years ago, when the Cooperstown Community Harvest Dinner was created, the original plan was to close Main Street for the day. At the time, I wrote a letter explaining the negative impact that such an action would have on Main Street business in terms of loss of parking spots and disruption in traffic flow. The Village Board responded by holding the event up past the Hall of Fame so that businesses would not be impacted and the event has been growing ever since without disruption to the business district.

I feel compelled to once again write regarding closing Main Street with last week’s Cooptoberfest.

Businesswise, my experience during Cooptoberfest was not positive

as it was probably my worst Columbus Day weekend ever.

The event was billed as a “celebration of Cooperstown’s Main Street.” It seemed as though the event was held with very little regard to the existing Main Street businesses.

When I arrived, there was a 10foot-tall food truck parked in front of my store which stayed there for the day. A large tent ran length of the street from Pioneer to the Hall of Fame, which made it difficult for people to get to businesses on the other side without going all the way around.

Tents, tractors, and large bounce houses were put up and down the street. Not to mention, closing the street to traffic is confusing to visiLETTER

tors and makes it difficult for them find their way into town.

I cannot speak for other businesses, but for me these obstacles made the weekend a disaster.

The Cooptoberfest event does not need to be on Main Street and it certainly doesn’t need to be held on Columbus Day weekend. Traditionally, Main Street has only been closed on Hall of Fame weekend, where an unusually large crowd was expected. That should continue to be the practice. Closing Main Street for anyone who wants to hold an event is disruptive and unnecessary when other venues could be explored and utilized.

Ford Sister Follows Brother’s Footsteps Onto Football Field

FOOTBALL/From B1 state record in the high jump.

And younger sister Abigail plays soccer.

And a female varsity football player is still unusual around here; a couple have played modified football at OHS, said A-D Joe Hughes, but none in varsity yet.

“I’ve always wanted to play football,” said Julie.

“But I was never allowed,” she said. “My parents thought their little girl would get hurt!”

But she rooted for

Jeremiah, and was known for tossing the pigskin around even when he played pee-wee football. “I may have pushed my dad over the edge,” she said. “I always was a kid who did what I wanted.”

She signed up, not even knowing how to play, but the team quickly welcomed her. “Our first game, against Morrisville-Eaton, we won 28-8. The last time we won against them was five years ago, when my brother was on the team.

He was so proud of me.”

“She’s no different than

anyone else on the team,” said teammate Jonathan Zuckerman. “We’re like a family.”

Well, there’s one thing that’s different – she gets a private changing room.

“They have to call ahead and make sure I can change in the bathroom,” she said.

“The coaches have even said that I can change on the bus if there’s nowhere else, but I usually arrive halfdressed anyway.”

Julietta plays wide receiver, a safety and a corner.

But it’s the tackling that’s her favorite. “It’s thera-

peutic,” she said. “I was an aggressive child.”

And she brings a little domesticity to the roughand-tumble field. “I’ll stand outside the locker room and tell the other team to take off their cleats before they go inside,” she said. “One time, I told a kid from New York Mills to take off his cleats, and he put them on top of his helmet. His coach got mad, and I offered to take his starting position.”

And though the season is winding down – you can see her for the last time this season at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct.

Show Documents Warhol-Hartwick Link, And Professor’s Role POP/From B1 College would be a good place for these pieces,” she said. “Our collection is American Art, and we have a strong photography department.”

“The Andy Warhol Foundation created a photographic legacy program, distributing Polaroid studies, screen prints and gel & silver prints to museums,” said Museum Coordinator Doug Kendall. The Yager received 157 of these, 96 – plus three silk-screen prints in “Rapture” – now on display in the gallery.

“We’ll rotate them out in six months,” said Dave Lubell, media relations manager. “We have a whole second set.” The show underwent a “soft opening,” he said; an opening reception will be announced at a later date.

Students assisted in hanging the show, and Honour Harlow (’16) was the student curator for Warhol exhibit, working with Professor Emeritus Fiona DeJardin. “The museum plays a key role in experiential learning,” said Kendall.

Warhol would use the Polaroids as studies, taking dozens before he and the subject would pick the photo that he would later paint as a portrait. Also in the collection are pictures from the New York party scene and celebrity photos, including John Denver, Bianca Jagger and Ric Ocasek.

“This gift came to us with a restriction that we have to exhibit at least a piece of the collection three times over 30 years,” said Kendall. “I think we can handle that.”

Bruce Kurtz, with hat in upper left, was comfortable among Warhol’s “The Factory.”

And with the acquisition of the Warhol collections, the museum finally had a way to share Kurtz’s legacy; the professor left Hartwick in 1990 to become curator of 20th century art at the Phoenix Art Museum. An AIDS activist, he died at 59 in 2003.

“Since we had these Warhol pieces, we could create a complimentary archival exhibit of Bruce and his connection to Warhol,” said Dalton.

Dr. Kurtz came to Hartwick College

in 1969, helping to found the Art major and teaching both art and art history.

He had spent time in the New York City art scene and knew both Warhol and Warhol’s closest associate, poet and photographer Gerard Malanga.

In 1971, he invited Malanga to the college to read his poetry and screen several movies he made with Warhol.

Malanga wrote several poems specifically for the event – they’re in the college’s archives – and took video and photographs of himself, Kurtz and students in front of what is now the Anderson Center, as well as the railyards, using footage for his film “April Diary” The exhibit’s title, “Rapture and Havoc” comes from what Kurtz said about Malanga’s visit. “It was very controversial,” said Kendall. “Many in the art department didn’t see Warhol as ‘art.’

After the poetry reading, Kurtz and students hung Warhol’s screen prints in the old Yager gallery, where the library lobby is now. And what happened in the Slade Theater the next morning is folklore among alumni.

“We have photos of Malanga’s visit, by student Anestis Diakopoulos,’ 71, and the Hilltops paper covering the silkscreen exhibit and the movies as well,” said Dalton. “But there is nothing in our archives about Warhol visiting campus – only what alumni have told us.”

“The Warhol piece is a good exhibit,” said Lubell. “But having ‘Havoc’ is what makes it special.”

Agriculture Commissioner Entrepreneur – And Loves It AG CHIEF/From A1 spring, when his wife, Jennifer, a cardiologist, joined Bassett Hospital – sought out the owner, and there he was, Richard Ball, who is also commissioner of the state Department of Agriculture & Markets, packing vegetables in the warehouse.

So Friday, Oct. 15, there he was, two months later, in Eaton Lounge in Hartwick College’s Bresee Hall, relating what was, in effect, an adventure story, to Schwartz’s Entrepreneurship Class.

Ball’s grandparents owned a farm in southern Delaware County and, as a lad, he loved the work and the lifestyle. “I fell in love with the happy side of dairy farming,” he remembers.

When he was 11, though, the grandparents sold the farm. Undeterred, young Richard pursued his dream, joining a 70-laborer work crew on a Rhode Island vegetable farm on graduating from high school – 69 Puerto Ricans, and one Anglo. (Ball taught some English, and learned some Spanish.)

Over the years, he worked his way up to crew chief, then farm manager, and found himself dreaming anew, even visiting a farm in the Schoharie Valley that was for sale. A few years later, driving his daughter

to Cornell, he detoured and found the farm again for sale, “13 miles from where I was born.”

“I was working on somebody else’s farm, making somebody else’s money.

And, in the end, it would all be passed on to somebody else’s kids,” he told the Hartwick business students.

He reflected, “When you own your own business, you step in to a different club.”

And so it happened in 1993: The 50-page business plan, and an adventure, sometimes a hair-raising one, launched.

The Carrot Barn, a retail operation, generates constant feedback. “Who is our customer?” Ball said businesspeople should constantly be asking themselves. “How do we stay in tune with them?”

You get the impression he learned that lesson in the School of Hard Knocks.

When he bought what became Schoharie Valley Farms, it had one crop, carrots. And it had one customer, Grand Union supermarkets. “What would we do if something happened to that one customer?” he would ask himself.

When he got up each morning, he’d call California and Michigan to check the cost of bushel of carrots.

He needed to get $9 to make a profit. Then he’d call

Canada – $6 a bushel.

He and the buyer at Grand Union were on a friendly basis. They’d chat. They knew what each other’s kids were up to, and would swap family yarns. But that buyer retired, replaced by a young fellow with a laptop who could, in real time, check carrot prices.

Ball got the new buyer’s message: “My customers don’t care – except for the price,” and Grand Union began buying a lot of carrots from Ontario. As for the carrots themselves, they had to be tough enough to be shipped across country, thrown onto a loading dock and not break, and – three months later – still look fresh and colorfully tempting.

The new farm owner learned the lesson. Today, he grows 70 vegetables – “our eggs are in a lot of baskets” – broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, sweet potatoes. “Carrots are just one piece of it,” he said, and they’re sweet and crunchy. One of his markets is high-end restaurants in New York City run by chefs who care about flavor. “I just need something that really wows you when you eat it,” he’s told.

In addition to knowing your customers, Ball had three keys to success: know your business, find and take care of key employees, and – most important – find

a banker you can depend on. Ball bought the farm on bank credit, he added greenhouses on credit, then discovered demand required 20 percent more greenhouses than he’d built, and he borrowed some more.

“We didn’t have a profit for four years,” Ball said matter-of-factly, although you got the sense those years were somewhat more tension-filled. “How long can you hold your breath?”

He wrote his business plan when he was 40 – two decades ago – and he had that black three-ringer binder on the podium in Eaton Hall the other day.

But it’s not the same plan: Every year, Ball and his team review it and agree on six innovations in the year to come – a new crop, a new piece of equipment, a new growing method.

Two years ago, the phone rang. It was Governor Cuomo’s Office, asking him if he’d be interested in being considered for agriculture commissioner. “I totally didn’t see that coming,” said Ball, who had been active in the American Farm Bureau and other industry groups.

Meeting with Cuomo, he was impressed by the governor’s determination to turn the Upstate’s economy around, particularly by wedding the farming community with Gotham, the biggest food market in the country.

Since taking the job, Ag &

Markets has opened a New York City office for the first time.

There are 31,000 people in Schoharie County. In the South Bronx, Ball marvels, there are 31,000 people per square mile, and yet there are no grocery stores, no farmers markets, no CSAs – what an opportunity.

New York City schools, he learned, are the biggest food buyers in the country and – he learned at an Upstate-Downstate summit the Cuomo Administration

organized a few months ago – they want to buy New York State produce – apples, meat, dairy.

Still, when he’s not solving the Empire State’s macro challenges, he’s back packing potatoes behind The Carrot Barn, and that feels pretty good. All three of his children are in the business, and two of his grandkids are drawing paychecks, too.

“This is mine. This is absolutely mine,” he tells himself. “That’s a very good feeling.”

Committee Considers Layoffs To Fill Remaining $4.3M Gap LAYOFFS/From A1 $9.2 million to $4.3 million.

Lindberg is not alone in expecting job cuts.

“Yes, it could mean layoffs,” said Crowell. “There is not a desire to do it. We will if we have to. And we will do everything we can to avoid it.”

County Board Chair Kathy Clark, R-Otego, agrees head count needs to be reduced.

“At this point I don’t know how we close a $4.3 million gap,” said Clark.

“We’ll see what people are willing to vote on but some employees might have to go from full to part-time.”

On the revenue side, there is discussion of raising both the property tax and bed tax.

Rep. Craig Gelbsman, ROneonta, wants the board to consider boosting the tax on hotel, motel and B&B stays.

The tax is currently 4 percent and takes in $1.6 million.

There is also the possibility of not sharing bed-tax proceeds with town and village governments, which the county is doing this year.

“I’m not for giving bed-tax money back to the municipalities,” said Clark.

“There are a lot of costs to the county related to tourism.”

She did indicate she might agree to raising the property tax but not in excess of the state cap of 2 percent.

“I’m not in favor of overriding the tax cap,” said Clark.

Both Clark and Lindberg explained that it would be politically impossible to only use a property-tax increase to close the budget gap.

Currently the county raises $11.4 million from the levy. The property tax would need to be increased by about 45 percent to raise an additional $4 million, according to Lindberg.

Regarding service cuts, the budget review committee most recently agreed to slash $700,000 from the Department of Social Services.

Previously the committee made substantial cuts to the Highway, Sheriff’s and other department budgets.

And a new complication has arisen now that the county’s largest labor union voted to ratify a long stalled contract.

By a vote of 117 to 70, the Civil Service Employees Association Monday, Oct. 19, approved an agreement that will add about $1.3 million to Otsego’s budget gap, if the Board of Reps sign off on the contract.

Pastor Gratton, 80; Davenport, Stamford Pastor SCHENEVUS – Pastor Tom A. Gratton, who served Baptist churches in Davenport and Stamford, past away early Tuesday morning, Oct. 13, 2015, at Bassett Hospital. He was 80.

Born Oct. 9, 1935, in Pittsburgh, Pa., he was a son of James and Minnie (Ross) Gratton. Raised in Pittsburgh, he later moved to Rhode Island.

In 1973, he received his master of divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary School of Theology in Fort Worth, Texas. He served churches in Michigan and Texas, then moved to the State of Maryland for 21 years as pastor to the First Baptist Church

of Suitland.

It was during his pastorate there that he presented his doctor of ministry thesis on strategizing an effective ministry in an urban, evangelical and racially integrated Southern Baptist Church.

Dr. Gratton envisioned a totally new approach for ministry and commitment to being God’s people on mission, and encouraged his colleagues to get excited about pastoring in multi-racial neighborhoods.

He received his doctor of ministry from the Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in King of Prussia, Pa., in 1989, and retired from full-time ministry in 1993.

He married Nancy A. Hall Gratton on Sept. 6,

1958, in Battle Creek, Mich.

She passed away on June 11, 2006. He later met and married Karen Ann Olmstead McMahon, a native of Cooperstown who had also recently lost her spouse.

They were married Jan. 12, 2008, at Mount Hermon Baptist Church in Spotsylvania County, Va. In 2010, they moved to Upstate New York and Tom became a member and served as a supply preacher at the West Davenport Free Baptist Church and Stamford Baptist Church.

In addition to his wife Karen, of Schenevus survivors include one daughter, Rachael Moore of Tennessee; his faithful friend, Norma, whom he consid-

ered to be his daughter; two step-daughters, Autumn Black Jewell of Orange, Va., and Stephanie Black of Middlefield; several grandchildren, two sisters, two brothers-in-law and several nieces and nephews, all of whom called him “Pops”.

A memorial service and burial were planned in the State of Maryland. A local memorial service is being planned for the near future, and will take place at the West Davenport Free Baptist Church, 211 Charlotte Creek Road, with Pastor Steve Estes, officiating.

Arrangements were entrusted to Connell, Dow & Deysenroth Funeral Home in Cooperstown.

Bridget M. Macaluso, 94; Past President Of Bassett Auxiliary COOPERSTOWN – Mrs. Bridget M. Macaluso, 94, who lived in Oneonta and Cooperstown since moving to the county in 1989, passed away peacefully Friday morning, Oct. 16, 2015, at Chestnut Park Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Oneonta.

Born Aug. 11, 1921, in Hoboken, N.J., on a tugboat,

she was the daughter of Patrick and Rita (Patterson) Bracken. She met her husband Joseph Robert (Bob) Macaluso in the Navy and married him Feb. 26, 1949, at the Church of St. Raymond in the Bronx.

Bridget was a lover of books, mysteries, words, humor and conversation.

She believed in community service. A funny, witty, loving, supportive and generous mother, grandmother and friend, she was loved and revered by all who knew her.

For many years she was employed as a secretary at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Campus of the Veterans Administration Hudson Valley Health Care System in Montrose. A determined person, she earned her GED at the age of 62 and then earned an associate’s degree in psychology.

Bridget and Bob lived in

Peekskill for 20 years before moving to Cooperstown in June 1989. She was a communicant of St. Mary’s “Our Lady of the Lake” Roman Catholic Church, was a member and past president of the Bassett Hospital Auxiliary, and volunteered at the Susquehanna SPCA. Following Bob’s death on April 23, 2001, Bridget moved to Oneonta, where she lived with her daughter Patrice for 10 years, then moved to Cooperstown with her daughter and son-in-law Roberta and Tom. She then lived at Hampshire House, and then Chestnut Park.

Bridget is survived by four daughters, Jean Marie Macaluso of Kingston, Roberta Hohensee and her husband, Thomas, of Cooperstown, Patrice Macaluso of Oneonta, and Margaret Williams and her husband, George, of Saugerties;
