Curators Discuss Hit Warhol Show At Yager Museum

T

he legends of Andy Warhol’s visit to the Hartwick Campus will be told during the curator’s roundtable at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, March 17 at the Yager Museum.

Accoring to museum coordinator Doug Kendall, the exhibit Warhol has been a hit.

“We’ve seen a significant increase in traffic compared to this time last year,” he said.

On Thursday, Rebekah Amrbose-Dalton, the college historian and curator behind the “Rapture and Havoc: Kurtz, Malanga and Warhol at Hartwick College” exhibit, will discuss the link between Hartwick professor Bruce Kurtz, poet Gerard Malanga and a surprise visit

by Warhol to an art class in 1971.

Fiona Dejardon, Professor Emeritus, will also be on hand to discuss the curation of “Andy Warhol: Photographs in the Yager Museum Collection,” a collection of Warhol’s Polaroids, given to the college Honour Harlowe, ‘16, was the student curator, and will join the discussion on the trio’s research and interpretation of the photographs.

If time allows, the trio may give a guided tour through the gallery to discuss individual images.

Supervisor Likes Waterpark, But Some Object WATERPARK/From A1 & Leisure Advisors’ 219page feasibility and economic-impact studies were delivered at the monthly town board meeting. “That means year-’round jobs. I think it will bring a lot of positive things to Hartwick and the county.”

While the town lacks zoning, the developer must still go through site-plan review with the town Planning Board, which will also be acting as “lead agency” in SEQRA, ensuring the state Environmental Quality Review Act is met. That includes assessing traffic impacts.

The H&LA studies were released Wednesday, March 9, and developer Jeff Hyman visited the site on the 11th. In an interview,

he said H&LA concluded the market can support an 80,000-square-foot indoor waterpark, but he is proposing a 30,000-35,000square-foot, about the size Of Six Flags’ operation near Lake George, plus another 5-8 acres outdoors to meet Dreams Park’s seasonal demand.

The relatively small project will also scale back some of the economic impacts proportionately, he said. A full build-out, H&LA estimated, would generate $16 million in local taxes annually and inject $1 billion into the local economy over 10 years. The 800 jobs in the H&LA report will be more like 200 FTEs (full-time equivalent jobs), but that’s still “a meaningful job impact,” Hyman said.

The H&LA report assures him his smaller project will be a success. “It tells me we have a margin of error,” said Hyman, who, while associated with Guggenheim Securities, was involved in financing waterparks in the Poconos and Ohio. “The market is that strong; the top revenues could be that high.”

The prospective waterpark development has been the talk of the Route 28 corridor since last October, when it was mentioned in a paragraph on page 9 on the region’s MV500 grant application, seeking a $½ billion from Governor Cuomo’s Upstate Revitalization Initiative. When that money wasn’t forthcoming, Hyman and Otsego Now agreed to split the bill on the study by H&LA, which is based in Cleveland and considered the best tourism-industry consultancy in the nation.

Otsego Now’s new board chairman, Devin Morgan of Cooperstown, said feasibility studies are an essential first step to any major devel-

opment, and his organization is happy to share such costs.

When change is possible, he continued, people’s “first instinct is to say no.” But, he added, “once you have a plan in front of people you can have a meaningful conversation.”

Otsego Now President Sandy Mathes said the study shows the waterpark “is a viable project,” and encourages the developer to go forward with the regulatory review. Hyman said he hopes to be ready to break ground in spring 2017, and to open the waterpark to the public for the summer of 2018.

Otsego Now’s role going forward will be to negotiate any PILOT (payments in lieu of taxes) and provide bonding, Mathes said.

O’Brien may have been positive at Monday’s meeting, but concerns were soon expressed.

Former Town Supervisor Pat Ryan said she believes the waterpark plan is at odds with the town’s comprehen-

sive plan. “It’s the kind of thing that can completely change our community,” said Ryan.

“Residents were asked what they wanted Hartwick to be, and a plastic water park is not what we wanted,” she said.

The 2007 resident survey indicated that 81 percent of residents found “active, operating farms” and “scenic beauty/landscapes” were important, as well as clean water and well-maintained highways.

And although 84 percent

agreed that the town should provide incentives for small business, only 35 percent agreed that incentives should be provided for year’round tourism.

Ryan also expressed concerns that the 200 rooms of the hotel would damage the seasonal housing industry. “We wanted to create an environment for small business,” she said. “This would kill that market.”

Because no application has been filed with the town Planning Board, no public hearing has been scheduled.

he indoor-waterpark boom began in the late 1980s in Wisconsin Dells, a tourism-magnet in Wisconsin that was seeking ways to attract visitors in the off-season, according to Jeff Hyman of Hyman Hemispherics, which is planning such a project here.

Construction began in the 1990s, and today there are a half-dozen huge waterparks there. Since, clusters have also developed around Sandusky,

Ohio, and in the Poconos.

Because of his involvement in waterpark financing in the Catskills and Ohio while with Guggenheim Securites, Hyman has seen the numbers on a range of projects and says the local numbers are outstanding. “A lot of people are telling me a lot of dollars are left on the table here every summer,” he added.

One intriguing chart in the Hotel & Leisure Associates’ feasibility study shows 6.5 million homes within 180

miles of Wisconsin Dells, compared to 10.2 million for Sandusky, and 14 million for Cooperstown. Yet while there are 1.2 million square feet of waterpark within 180 miles of Wisconsin Dells and 681,000 around Sandusky, there are only 542,500 within 180 miles of Cooperstown.

While summertime success is assured, experience elsewhere shows waterparks are also packed on threeday weekends throughout the year and during school vacations.

EDITORIAL

If Waterpark Brings Longer Shoulder Season, Win-Win

W

hen you review Hotel & Leisure Advisors’ 219page feasibility study on an indoor waterpark proposed at the Cooperstown Fun Park property in Hartwick Seminary and the 80-page accompanying economicimpact study, the numbers are overwhelming: $165 million for construction, annual revenues of $44 million, $16 million in annual local taxes, $1 billion impact on the local economy over 10 years.

The H&LA proposal calls for 400 rooms, 642 jobs, 80,000square-feet of indoor waterpark, two restaurants (one more fancy, one less fancy), capacity for conventions … it goes on and on.

Whoa, whoa, you may have said to yourself. And that’s what developer Jeff Hyman of Hyman Hemispheric LLC was saying – whoa, whoa! – when he stopped by the office a couple of days after the intitial report was posted Wednesday, March 9, on www. allotsego.com.

While those figures are in the H&LA report, Hyman’s actually planning a more modest undertaking: $60 million in construction, 200 rooms, 200 FTE jobs, some 35,000 square feet of space for indoor waterslides, (and another

...By The Way, $15 Minimum Would Help Share Tourism Boon 8,000-square-foot outside park to meet the Dreams Park demand).

There will be proportionately less economic impact and tax revenues, but that’s probably OK in terms of comfort level. If it’s a huge success – the H&LA study ensures it will be a success – it can be ramped up.

Hyman certainly feel that way, too. The report, which aims to ensure “there’s no money left on the table,” creates a cushion for the developer as well. “It tells me we have a margin of error. The market is that strong. The top revenues could be that high,” he said.

Inevitably, given the local history, you can predict opposition and challenges – it began Monday evening, March 14, at the project’s first airing at a Hartwick Town Board meeting – but the plan is a very promising entry into the local economy.

• As long as anyone can remember, expanding “shoulder seasons” – the fall and the spring, at either end of the baseball-tourism-driven 100 days – has been all the talk among merchants and local offi-

three-day weekends and school vacations throughout the years – this project alone will be a big step in a much desired direction.

The idea of packaging a waterpark visit with a tour of the Baseball Hall of Fame, lunch at Brewery Ommegang, or perhaps an evening an opera, making it a central part of the marketing to separate our waterpark from everybody else’s, is particularly promising.

And there will be daily passes available, so all of us may partake if we wish – some waterparks limit usages to overnight guests – making the whole concept even more inviting.

• As it happens, the project comes into view as the debate over the $15 per hour minimum wage is reaching a peak in Albany.

When you look at the scope of even the scaled-down project – 200 FTEs – you have to reflect that maybe it’s time for the minimum wage to raise even as dramatically as proposed, (although increases would be phased in over the next five years.)

It’s the curse of tourism. Some people make a lot of money. Most people in the business work for minimum wage, going on unemployment in the off-season.

As developers budget multiple millions of dollars for studies, construction labor, equipment and building supplies, furnishing and fittings, they can certainly work in a sufficient bump to ensure these types of projects give our neighbors a living wage, or better.

Same with the fast-food outlets and big boxes that send their local profits to distant headquarters.

Being a local business, we’re particularly sensitive to the impact on local businesses. But they – we – simply have to plan. Between now and 2021, what new products and efficiencies can we realize to allow us to get through what soon may be mandated wage increases?

Shortterm, it’s a hit. In the end, all the supermarket cashiers on food stamps, families of four frequenting food pantries, and minimum-wage workers across the board will have disposal income to spend in our stores and on our products. More money in the marketplace will help everyone … perhaps, to afford to go to a waterpark.

or a man of his stature, former Oneonta mayor David Brenner (he is also a former and formidable chairman of the Otsego County Board of Representatives and retired as a ranking SUNY Oneonta administrator) says relatively little.

But when he speaks, stop and listen.

At the end of the Wednesday, March 9, unveiling of the latest proposed revisions to the Oneonta City Charter at a Common Council committee meeting, Brenner uttered one word he said will ensure the success of the city-manager form of government in Oneonta.

“Trust.”

HOMETOWN ONEONTA A-5

Compiled by Tom Heitz with resources courtesy of The New York State Historical Association Library

125 Years Ago

F.W. Buckley has lately made some important changes in his Broad Street shirt factory, thereby largely increasing its capacity. Ten new Singer sewing machines have been put in and will be operated by steam power from Fleming’s Mill.

Instead of one operator finishing a garment as heretofore, each employee will do a single part of the work, which will pass through eight hands before completion. The Buckley factory is crowded as never before with orders, 130 dozen having been booked last week. Some forty new workers have recently been taught who work at home, and still the factory is hardly keeping up with its orders.

Oneonta’s biggest battle with snow since the 1950s was nearing a victorious end early today. Weary workmen, hard put since 10:30 p.m. Friday, had removed the 14-inch blanket from most of the city’s 45 miles of streets. The street department men were augmented with help from the parks and water departments. “The boys did a tremendous job,” Mayor Roger G. Hughes said. “We got many more compliments than complaints. I noticed also that citizens were out in full force cleaning their sidewalks. I presume they realized that no one could get through if the walks were not shoveled, and they did a fine job. All in all, it was the best operation of the year, and the storm was the biggest in years.”

There is not a doctor in Oneonta who would not prescribe good wholesome amusement for anyone, sick or well. There is not a doctor who does not appreciate the health-promoting qualities of hearty laughter. The Billy Allen Musical Comedy Company is one of the most expensive and largest organizations ever put on the road to play at 50 cent prices. Think of seeing 35 people, $10,000 worth of wardrobe, two carloads of scenery, a company of good musical comedy principals, and a group of sprightly girls in productions that have amused thousands of people. Six different musical comedies are presented. The Billy Allen repertoire contains such well-known plays as “The Time, Place and The Girl,” The Dingbat Family,” and “A Night at the Winter Garden.”

J.H. Woodward, formerly of North Abington, Massachusetts, has decided to establish a wet-wash laundry in Oneonta. The new concern will do family washings only, doing no starching or ironing. The goods will be called for and after being washed and wrung out will be returned ready to dry.

A train consisting of 31 cars loaded with Buick automobiles, passed through Oneonta last evening at 6:30 o’clock.

The autos were on open cars and covered with canvas.

The snow has melted from Oneonta sidewalks revealing what passing dogs have left throughout the winter. With about 1,000 licensed dogs in the city and numerous others unlicensed, the unsightly mess can be a problem. City dog warden Michael Bennett said his office has received complaints about dog droppings, but there is little that can be done because a “pooper-scooper law” requiring residents to clean up after their mutts has never been passed. The problem is complicated by the fact that some dog owners allow their pets to run loose in spite of a city leash law that requires all dogs not on the owner’s property to be on a leash. Loose dogs can also be a nuisance because they knock over garbage cans, run into the street, fights with one another and litter sidewalks and yards with excrement. The dog warden patrols the city randomly every day and also responds to complaints.

The rampant Susquehanna River, roaring from its source in Cooperstown, caused thousands of dollars damage in the Southern Tier yesterday. Whipping its way along at the highest stage in years, the river raised havoc in many counties, turning highways into rushing streams, inundating hundreds of acres of land and flooding hundreds of cellars. Virtually every stream in this section was over or close to its banks in the wake of a 15-hour rain storm and high temperatures which melted snow in all watersheds. The Susquehanna came within eight one-hundredths of a foot of the all-time record of 20 feet set March 28, 1913. At six o’clock last night, the river reached a mark of 19.92 feet before

Room and board will increase $270 to $7,750. Trustees also endorsed a recommendation to improve Smith Hall, the largest residence hall on campus. The board also finalized plans and gave the okay to begin site-preparation work for a 36,000 square foot academic building to be named after businessman-contributor Thomas Golisano.

A-6 THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL & HOMETOWN ONEONTA

Herzig: I Will Not Sign Law That May Be Illegal HERZIG/From A4 I have both communicated, and demonstrated, by my actions, my full support for the city manager’s absolute authority to hire, fire, and supervise the city staff in the day-to-day operation of the city. That is why, after Oneonta’s two failed attempts at working with a city manager, I decided to do everything I could to minimize the chance of a third failure. I scheduled trainings and strategic planning for our new Council and have been in communication with the New York State City Managers’ Association about additional steps including facilitated workshops with our Council and staff.

And, I also decided that, after a rocky four-year test drive, we would be absolutely foolish not to also take another look at our charter. In November 2015, I appointed a committee of unquestionable qualifications and integrity to review our charter. It included two former mayors, a former department head, a second-term Council member and acting mayor, and two first-term Council members with extensive professional human resource experience. At their first meeting, I asked them to focus their efforts on correcting existing contradictions with the City Code and state law, rectifying omissions, clarifying some language, and better identifying the relationship between the city manager and the mayor – one I have found to be critically important for the successful operation of the city. The mayor, with a daily presence at City Hall, serves as an important liaison between the Council and the city manager.

As a member of the 2007 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, I was among the first to recommend a charter revision to include the hiring of a City Manager. I know and respect those who served on the original Charter Commission that grew out of that recommendation. They created a good document that

successfully moved the City of Oneonta to a city manager form of government. I thank them for their service.

I was taken by surprise, however, when those same individuals reacted strongly in opposition when I first announced my intent to Mayor take another look. I was Herzig told repeatedly that it was too soon to review the charter because it had never been fully and properly implemented by our former mayor and Council. With this, I disagree.

The charter is a framework, not a script.

Its implementation, by individuals with different personalities and abilities, will not always be predictable and agreeable to all. This does not mean that it was not properly implemented.

At that same time, the authors of the current Charter also strenuously argued against any recommendations which might change the required qualifications for hiring the city manager. The argument used then, and repeated again recently, was that the qualifications were set as they were in order to prevent the Council and the mayor from hiring an unqualified crony, brother, or cousin. To this, I can only react in disbelief.

We trust our Council to set the laws of the City; to decide how to spend $20 million each year; and to set the direction for the future of Oneonta – but they apparently are not to be trusted to decide what type of degree the city manager should have! I fully support the Committee’s wise decision to remove the qualifications from the Charter and place them in a separate job description; thus, allowing the Council to decide upon the qualifications that best fit the needs of the City at the time of the search.

The other most substantive changes recommended by the Committee: • clarified the working relationship between the City Manager and the Mayor; • clearly delegated responsibility for policy and vision to the Council and the Mayor; • gave the Mayor a vote in the Council’s decision in the selection of a City Manager; • strengthened the Mayor’s role during an emergency; • established the Mayor as the primary point of contact with State and Federal officials; • created procedure in the event of a tie vote during an election; and • made the document consistent with law in a small number of issues.

I believe that the committee, which consisted of former mayors John Nader and David Brenner, former City Chamberlain David Martindale, and Council members Russ Southard, John Rafter and Melissa Nicosia, took a good document and, with hindsight, made it better. The changes, in my opinion, better define the primary role of the city manager as supervising staff and administering the daily operation of the city – leaving the mayor and the Council to establish policy and set a vision for the city’s future. This clarification of duties can assist our Council in prioritizing the skills needed in our next city manager and, thereby, increase our chances of success. I thank the committee for its diligence, transparency, and wisdom in completing this task.

Finally, I wish to address the question that has been raised regarding the Council’s authority to approve these revisions to the Charter. The law is very clear in defining the responsibilities and authority of a Council in this matter. I can assure you that I will not be signing any law with which there is any doubt as to its legality.

When It Comes To Charter Revision, We’re From Missouri TRUST/From A4 That has been sorely lacking since the then-mayor and Common Council, in April 2014, abruptly fired the first city manager. It soon emerged that the intent in doing so was to elevate the city finance director, who didn’t happen to meet either the residency requirement or the educational qualifications contained in the charter, to city manager.

The victim: Trust.

A year later, after the mayor’s sudden passing and the subsequent Common Council implosion, a second city manager was fired and the acting mayor was outspoken in favor of elevating the finance director, still lacking the qualifications and residency, to the

Cheap Energy Attracts Jobs DOWNEY/From A4 hundreds of young people who are bright, creative, environmentally responsible, and LOCAL, who are moving elsewhere for jobs and opportunity.

They know and love our area.

They can’t live here. There are no jobs.

One component of job creation is cheap energy. In our area that means natural gas. It will not pollute the earth; in fact, there is ample evidence to the exact opposite. Until renewable energy can meet the market without the crutch of subsidies, mandates, abatements, tax credits, and all the gifts the government gives in the name of the taxpayers, gas is the bridge fuel to the future.

The Constitution Pipeline and its distribution network and/or an expanded capacity NYSEG line will inevitably add value to our area’s existing businesses and extra cash in savings to our residents. The cheap energy it will bring in will attract new businesses and jobs. This will help stem the out-migration of our young. With jobs, the in-migration will take care of itself.

position.

The victim: Trust.

When the current mayor was appointed, then elected mayor, there was hope for a new beginning. However, his first action – with all the challenges small Upstate cities like Oneonta face – was to appoint an ad hoc Charter Revision Committee. If the truth be told, the goal was to remove the qualifications from the Charter and eliminate the residency requirement.

The victim: Trust.

Only the innocent objection of new Council member Melissa Nicosia, a human resources professional at SUNY Oneonta, preserved the

residency requirement. She, apparently, hadn’t been filled in on the agenda. But the proposed charter revisions now under consideration still would remove the qualifications from the charter.

If so, the victim: Trust.

The current charter had to be approved by city voters – and, in November 2011, it was, by 1,128 voters, 71 percent of total. Three of the state’s foremost experts say the proposed changes to the city charter are significant enough to require another referendum.

But the mayor says he believes a simple majority vote of Common Council is sufficient.

The victim: Trust.

Now, the mayor insists the city manager’s hiring powers have not changed, even though the revisions would require them to be approve by Common Council.

The victim: Trust.

The mayor, who is so promising in so many ways, says in this instance: Trust me. Sorry if some of us are from Missouri.

The current city charter is sufficient to the task. Don’t circumvent it. Apply it. Make it work. Only then can city residents believe – The winner: Trust.

And all good things, in Mayor Brenner’s sage conclusion, will proceed from that.

Traffic Increase Is Worth Greater Economic Good To the Editor: I read on AllOTSEGO. com of the proposed new waterpark that could be located just south of Cooperstown. If built, it would be a major game changer for the Otsego County economy. It will bring more year-’round business diversity and profitability to the Main Street business districts of both Cooperstown and Oneonta and to the surrounding area businesses. That in turn will bring more area exposure and attract more permanent businesses and residents.

With this, all-season, renewable, money-stream constructive change will be ongoing in Otsego County.

This “clean outside money” will fund a transformation

Will Waterpark Taint, Dump Water?

To the Editor: The development of a water park would be a major addition to the local tourist trade, so here’s to that. The catch is that the site proposed is bounded by Chase Creek, the Susquehanna River and a marsh. Seems idyllic – water next to water. Unless you’re a trout. Then, not so good.

The water used in the park would be heavily treated, either with chlorine or salt, which could contaminate the creek or

river if released untreated. The run-off from paved areas would pollute the creek and river whenever it rains. Which may be the plan here.

Amusement parks locate next to creeks and rivers so that they can flush their run-off untreated, for free into the adjacent water body. Until they get caught and fined. Pretty slippery, eh ?

of the local and regional, tourism-based economies for the better. This additional “cash flow” will make all the difference to so many local businesses that run out of time before they run out of expenses. Profit only comes after all of the bills are paid.

Add in the (not too shabby) additional millions in annual taxes and breathe a sigh of relief.

While it may create a traffic management challenge for the Village of Cooperstown, it will be worth it for the greater economic good, in my view.

Economic critical mass may well be achievable in Otsego County, New York.

Miller died just two weeks before the summit. “There’s some real work being done here,” she said. “And a lot of it is in Dick’s memory.”

Montoya first pitched the idea of a Latino co-op, where Latino families could sell tamales, produce, crafts from Latin America and educate the community on Hispanic culture.

The planners looked at the Armory, but it didn’t suit their needs. But Montoya has also begun looking at the former Bugbee School as a means to expand their classroom, and has begun talks with the Oneonta Farmers Market and other nonprofits in hopes of finding ways to integrate the co-op.

“The more we talked, the more we see how much work

we need to do,” she said.

In addition to assisting Latino families, Montoya connected with Korean students on campus to start the Korean Café, where elementary students can come learn how to write their name in “Hanja,” the Korean alphabet, taste traditional Korean food and make crafts.

“At the end of the year, we host a celebration at the Center for Multi-Cultural Experiences so that their families can attend and see what they’ve been learning.” she said.

In addition to the outreach to the Latino community, other projects from the Diversity Summit are beginning to take root. “The Destination Oneonta Welcome Center came out of that summit,” said Osterhoudt.

“And that we have new ethnic restaurants coming into town, that’s a really good sign.”

Food Hub Study Begins

FOOD HUB/From A1 of the park.”

Karp, who arrived Sunday night with consultant Ben Kerrick, spent Monday and Tuesday, March 14-15, meeting with Mayor Gary Herzig and key players at Cornell Cooperative Extension, Brewery Ommegang and CADE to begin focusing on what Oneonta might become.

“First we need to define the concept,” said Lisa Nagle of Elan Planning, the design firm working with Karen Karp & Partners, New York City.

“Right now, we’re a blank slate.”

On Tuesday, Karp met with the Otsego Now board and members of the business and agriculture community on the fifth floor of 189 Main. “A food hub can take on a variety of forms,” said Nagel. “And that’s exciting.

In her remarks, Karp said she sees the former Oneonta Ford building at Market and Chestnut, now owned by the Twelve Tribes, as an “anchor” for her concept. “The whole point is to activate that street,” she said. “A food hub is there to support producers, provide management and organization,

as well as making connections between producers and buyers.”

The biggest problem facing farmers, she said, is that the demand outweighs the supply.

“Our farms are small, and the farmers go to great lengths to get their products to markets that pay top dollar,” she said.

“We need to make the connections between producers and buyers.”

The good news is that the market is maturing, said Rebecca Morgan, CADE executive director. “People want to start farms,” she said. “Young people are moving here, buying five acres and farming intensively. We have transitioning dairy farmers, people making career shifts. It runs the gamut.”

“We’re turning vendors away; we don’t have any more room,” said Betty Lee, Oneonta Farmers’ Market director. “Is this going to give our vendors more opportunities?”

Both Lee and Ellen Pope, Otsego 2000 executive director, expressed concerns that the food hub would compete with farmers’ markets.

But Pope was hoping the two might work together to expand the availability of locally sourced foods. “We need a way to source local produce for restaurants,” she said. “Restaurants don’t have time to call 30 different farmers every week.”

Expanding farmers’ market offerings will help people see farmers’ markets more like grocery stores, Pope continued.

“Our produce costs the same as it does at Price Chopper,” she said. “We need to educate people to that.”

Karp also sees the food hub as a way to tap into the student population. “I haven’t been to a college town where the students aren’t engaged with food,” she said. “Some of them are obsessed with food. I’m the aunt of one of them. Food brings people together.”

The Market Street study was funded with a CFA grant in the most recent round of the state’s Regional Economic Development funding.

Retired Hartwick Coach Saves Volleyball In City, And 200 Players Benefit

AllOTSEGO.life

Ian Austin/

When the city rec department dropped volleyball, retired Hartwick College Volleyball Coach Lou Lansing stepped in, forming a collaboration with her SUNY Oneonta counterpart, Colleen Cashman.

Now, 200 Oneonta volleyball enthusiasts are playing their beloved sport weekly in a revived league.

ithout Lou Lansing, there would be no volleyball.

In 2013, City Hall decided the rec program would no longer support volleyball, she recounted. “The Y took it over for a while, but this year, they said they couldn’t do it.”

With 19 teams in limbo – some had been playing for two decades – Lansing, retired Hartwick College volleyball coach, determined to save the program. “Before I was at Hartwick, I was with the City’s recreation department, and I ran the Volleyball program,” she said. “I gave it up when I started at Hartwick, but I officiated when it was at the Y.” “Lou gave me a call to see Lauren Payne, if SUNY would be willing to Oneonta, receives host,” said Colleen Cashman, a serve during a recent Wednesday SUNY Oneonta volleyball night play at the coach. “I went through my chain of command, but we just Armory. couldn’t do it, so we started thinking outside the box – seeing if we could play at Springbrook or the Boys & Girls Club.

“And that’s when she called me with an epiphany.”

Together, they developed the Players Volleyball Association, a non-profit athletic league. $350 a team covers insurance for the year, and although the season is up at Please See VOLLEYBALL, B3

Scholet Shawls Are Seen Everywhere SHAWLS/From B1 “Bermuda” shawls, sending them as far as Texas and Florida, and keeping some right here in Oneonta.

“I’ll go down to dinner and someone will be wearing one of my shawls!” said Scholet.

The Mohawk native learned knitting very young and continued to knit on and off throughout her life, making scarves and, later, sweaters for friends and family.

She married Dick Scholet, owner of Scholet Furniture, in 1964, and lived in Cobleskill. Their son, Art, continues to operate what is now an Oneonta-based company. Her husband died in 2010; she moved to the Plains in 2014.

“I haven’t knitted more than scarves for a few years,” she said. “But one night at dinner, I saw Brigitte Beehler, another resident, wearing this beautiful shawl. I asked her where she got it, and she gave me the pattern.”

It’s a complicated pattern.

“As you can see, this strip is knitted to here, then turns around and goes back to the beginning,” she said. “It’s called ‘wrap and turn.’ Not a lot of people know how to do it.”

That results in bands of color that widen and narrow throughout. “It’s not your typical shawl,” said Cosy.

and Plains neighbor Jean Fleck helps her with the knitting. Each shawl takes 2-3 months and 10 skeins of Noro Silk Garden Yard, a blend of silk, wool and mohair, knit on #9 circular needles. At the widest point, she’ll have 300 stitches on the needles.

The first shawl she made went to Cosy, and soon, Jean was taking orders from friends who wanted to give them as gifts. “One Plains resident wanted to send one to her sister in Kansas City, Mo.,” she said. “Another woman here is taking hers when she moves to North Carolina.”

“People love to give them as presents,” said Ian Austin/ OTSEGO.life Cosy. “Nancy and I look at each one and we go crazy.

Daughter Cosy Schneberger, visiting from They’re all so beautiful!”

Austin, is helping Jean keeps a photo album spread the word about of each one she makes, mom Jean Scholet’s along with the wearer.

German Oneonta’s First General Perhaps Since The Civil War Era GENERAL/From A1 new duties in April.

German, 57, will replace Maj. Gen. Patrick Murphy, who has served as adjutant general since 2010, and is leaving the position to serve as director of Strategy, Plans, Policy and International Affairs for the National Guard Bureau in Washington, D.C. As Air National Guard commander, German also served as assistant adjutant general, assistant to Murphy.

“Gen. Anthony German has a distinguished record as a National Guard leader dedicated to serving our nation and state,” Cuomo said. “He brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge in military affairs and in his new role will continue his commitment to strengthening the readiness of our military.”

In a press release, German was quoted as saying, “I’m honored to be selected by Governor Cuomo to lead the men and women who serve in our New York National Guard.” He called Murphy “an outstanding leader and mentor for our soldiers and airmen.

Recalling that, in the past decade, New York’s airmen and soldiers have fought in Afghanistan, responded to natural disasters – including the 2011 floods in German’s native Schoharie County – and served around the world, he said, “I am humbled that the governor has trusted me to lead them.”

The Oneonta resident’s achievement is an unusual one for a local soldier. Local historians believe the last local man to reach a similar rank was Maj. Gen. S.S. Burnside – not the one of sideburn fame – who trained two regiments at Oneonta during the Civil War, and later was an esteemed businessman and civic learder.

German was commissioned in the Air Force in 1983 as an aircraft navigator and joined the Air National Guard’s 109th Airlift Wing in 1989. The 109th, based at Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, flies the LC130 aircraft, the only skiequipped aircraft in the U.S. military. The wing provides support to the National Science Foundation’s research

efforts in Antarctica and Greenland.

German commanded the wing from 2006 to 2010.

He served as chief of staff of the Air National Guard from 2010 to 2015, helping coordinate the response to Tropical Storms Irene and Lee in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

He has also served in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Reserve Affairs as the Department of Defense Liaison Officer to the National Science Foundation.

He recently completed a 30 day assignment as Acting Director of the Air National Guard.

German is a master navigator with over 4,900 flying hours and in the C-130 Hercules and other aircraft.

As adjutant general, German will be responsible for the readiness and training of the 10,300 members of the Army National Guard, and the 5,600 members of the Air National Guard. He is responsible for the Naval Militia, a force of 2,900 personnel, the bulk of whom are currently serving members of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Reserve who volunteer to serve state duty during emergencies.

Another 600 people serve as volunteers in the New York Guard, a state force that assists the National Guard during emergencies.

German holds a degree from SUNY Oneonta and is a graduate of the Naval War College and Senior Reserve Component Officer Course, Carlisle Barracks, Pa. Among his awards are the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Force Aerial Achievement Medal, the Combat Readiness Medal, the Antarctica Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Humanitarian Service Medal.

German lives in Oneonta with his wife Diana. They have four children, Josh, Ben, Zach and Bekah.

His son, Capt. Joshua German, is a pilot in the Air National Guard’s 174th Attack Wing, and his son Ben German is a staff sergeant and public affairs non-commissioned officer for the 109th Airlift Wing.

Lansing, Cashman Saw Need, Revived Volleyball VOLLEYBALL/From B1 the end of April, the teams can continue playing tournaments throughout the remainder of the year.

There are 19 teams in the league, 11 men’s and eight women’s, divided into the “more competitive” A Division and the B Division, 190 players in all. “No matter what skill level, they all have a good time,” said Lansing. “That’s what it’s about.”

“It’s a night to get out the ladies, plus it’s great exercise,” said Michelle Catan, captain of the Sears & DC Marketing team. “We’ve been together almost 20 years!”

The men’s league meets every Tuesday, the women play every Wednesday, both at the Armory. Spectators can attend for free. “The city has been great,” said Lansing. “They let us use the gym for a reasonable fee, plus they gave us four new balls and let us use the nets. I don’t think they wanted to see volleyball leave Oneonta.”

Lansing and Cashman both ref, and at the end of the season, every team gets to compete in the playoffs, whether they’re in it to win it or just to have fun. “People are just happy to be playing,” she said.

But more than just a place to play,

the league has a civic component too. “In April, we’re going to have our players bring non-perishables to the games, and we’ll donate it to the Riverside School Backpack Program,” she said. “It’ll be a competition to see whether to guys league or the girls brings the most.”

She also hopes to host tournaments where teams from other cities can play for a fee, with that money going to another children’s charity. “If it benefits kids, it’s all right with me,” she said.

“Maybe I’m biased,” she said. “But I think volleyball players are the best people.”
