After 2 Months Of Silence, Mayor, In 5-Page Memo, Backs Hilltop Commons MAYOR/From A1 ment before the Otsego County Industrial Development Agency had received a Newman Development Corp.’s application. But the county economic developer, Carolyn Lewis, said that morning she had been told the application was on its way, clearing Miller to weigh in. And he did. A $15 million undertaking, Hilltop Towers represents the largest private investment in the city in a quarter-century, he said, promising $360,000 in new property taxes annually in a local economy “stag-
nant and in slow decline.” Effected properties, he said, generate only $11,000 in property taxes. One by one, he addressed the objections neighbors, downtown merchants and landlords who rent to students have raised about the project. Highlights included: • Rather than worsen flooding in the Blodgett/Bugbee neighborhood, Newman’s investment in infrastructure improvements mostly “will benefit nearby private-property owners” in better handling high water. • Despite their concerns, the better landlords who provide
student housing downtown will survive. If pressure to lower rents “forces some landlords to exit the market, and the city can encourage owner-occupants to move into those properties, that will be a positive outcome.” • Despite the concern of downtown merchants that fewer students will live or shop there, “a project that can only support more students in Oneonta in total would have nothing but positive impact on downtown retail.” He pointed out 16 grants totalling $400,000 have been given downtown merchants in recent years, and
Springbrook, Arc, Pathfinder Fear Wounds From State’s Budget Ax
CUTS/From A1 has kept administrative costs under 10 percent, and Springbrook and Pathfinder, which cares for young people with Down Syndrome, reported similar records. Elsewhere, such costs have reached 15 percent. While cutting funding, the state has increased mandates, said Paul Landers, Pathfinder president/CEO, and that’s where the state might provide relief. “I don’t disagree with the mandates,” he said; for instance, to help limit fire hazards in group homes. “But they need to fund them.” What followed began with a 2010 investigation in The Poughkeepsie Journal, which reported the federal government had been overpaying for care of the
developmentally disabled by a factor of four in nine institutions. In recent days, the feds reduced the daily payments from $5,000 to $1,200 per person. According to reports, the overpayments had been diverted to the state’s General Fund. However, Sessions said, the Cuomo Administration determined to recover the money from institutions that care for the disabled, like the three local ones. When the issue was first raised, a spokesmen for state Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, said the money had been recaptured. It turned out only 25 percent of the money had been recaptured. The issue was championed in the Assembly, said Sessions, but neither of its
$1.5 million has been invested in improving conditions downtown. • Besides, SUNY Oneonta needs a Newman-like project to compete with SUNY’s “most desirable campuses” – many of which have similar projects – in “recruitment and retention of more high-quality students.” • As for the developer, Miller praised the Binghamton-based Newman as “a premier, highly experienced firm” that wouldn’t take on Hilltop Towers if it weren’t sure of success. “If anyone is to build private student housing in Oneonta, we are fortunate New-

I had to set the pins on pegs. You pushed down on a pedal, pegs came up, you set the pins and let go of the lever.” He and his friends used to “fool around” on the lanes, and he admits that he “wasn’t that good.” But in 1957, he got a team together and bowled in the Oneonta Scratch League. “There was

Bud Fowler Lived Horatio Alger Ideals, Yet Deck Was Stacked Against Success FOWLER/From A1 SABR (the Society for American Baseball Research) of “a couple of hundred dollars” to pursue his interest. “I just thought it would be an article,” he said by telephone from Santa Fe. “I didn’t think it would be a book.” But by the time he dove into his subject in 2010, more and more historical newspapers were appearing online, and Bud Fowler’s name cropped up in communities across the land. In the books of Larry Lester, historian of AfricanAmerican baseball, in Tom Melville’s “Early Baseball and the Rise of the National League,” and in other accounts of the era, there
was Bud Fowler’s name. “He seemed to be something of a man of mystery,” said Laing. But one Laing thing was certain: He was a player – literally and figuratively – in early baseball, in Massachusetts, in Iowa, in Ohio and, yes, in Cooperstown, where Fowler, then John Jackson, son of a Main Street barber, spent his teen years. By the time Laing was done, it was indeed a book. “Bud Fowler: Baseball’s
First Black Professional,” will be published by McFarland & Co. at the end of June. “There was a rich history in which Bud Fowler was a key character,” the researcher had discovered. In the run-up to publication, the Village of Cooperstown, coincidentally, has decided to claim Fowler as one of its own. At 4 p.m. Saturday, April 20, the trustees will name the lane that runs from Chestnut Street to Doubleday Field “Fowler Way.” The gathering will move to Doubleday Field, where a plaque will be unveiled and John Thorn, the MLB’s official historian, will speak. The next day at 10 a.m. in
the Hall of Fame’s Grandstand Theater, Cooperstown Graduate Program students will discuss the results of a research project into Fowler/Jackson’s life. Mayor Jeff Katz said he is lining up some headliners – still to be announced – to round out the celebration. Back to Santa Fe. In his research, Laing sketched out the beginnings of organized baseball in the Southwest. Baseball was part of military life, and after the Civil War it was played by soldiers, white and black, throughout the region. The completion of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (the line to Santa Fe was a 17-mile spur, about the length of the spur north
Ghost Busters Visit Hyde Hall: What Did They Discover? GHOSTS/From A1 personally experienced any ghostly encounters, he’s heard the stories. “Staff has told me that when they come in to open the house, they hear footsteps in the rear corridor,” he said. “They think there’s an intruder, but of course, no one’s there.” When the cast of SyFy’s “Ghost Hunters” toured The Otesaga in 2010, they heard the stories of the haunted hall halfway up Otsego Lake, and when an opening came up in their New England filming schedule, they jumped at the chance to return to Glimmerglass’ ghostly environs. And so they did, Sunday-
Thursday, March 24-28. “We’d given them the nature of stories so they could get a sense of what might be possible,” Maney said. “They had a very productive visit.” Ghost tours have been part of Hyde Hall’s programming since 2009. “They’re dramatic presentations based on the lives of people who lived there,” said Maney. “So many of these stories go back to the 19th century.” “Ghost Hunters” host Jason Hawes is the leader of the Atlantic Paranormal Society and makes it his mission to understand and explain seemingly unexplainable disturbances. At The Otesaga, the ghost
hunters saw glowing orbs, vanishing shadows and several eerie noises and voices, including one that sounded like it was saying “Amy,” much to the fear of team member Amy Bruni. “There’s nothing disturbing in an old house like this, but you never feel alone,” said Maney. “To me, that’s a comfort. There’s so much text, so much history to interpret.” During the five-day Hyde Hall visit, the cast conducted a “full investigation.” Though Maney, through an agreement with the TV show, couldn’t comment on what tools they used specifically, the “Ghost Hunters” have a full range of equip-
ment, including thermal imaging cameras, voice recorders and a laser grid to detect movement. “I stayed up until 3:30 a.m. with them on Tuesday,” he said. “Most other nights, I was up until midnight. We lit the chandeliers” – Hyde Hall’s once-innovative 19th-century vapor chandeliers – “for them, and we really enjoyed having them here.” And for Maney, one of the best parts of the show’s visit was getting to experience parts of Hyde Hall even he’d never visited. “We went into the family crypt,” he said. “It was my first time, and it was a real honor.”
from Cooperstown Junction) led to creation of a baseball league with teams in El Paso, Albuquerque and Las Vegas, and gave Fowler his Santa Fe opportunity. Although the ball team failed, “he winds up in three months being accepted enough in Santa Fe that he and a white partner bought out a barber shop” – the Capitol – “on Santa Fe Plaza,” said Laing. As he traced Bud Fowler’s life (1858-1913), he discovered a man battling in the face of historical forces. Just as his career was taking off, Reconstruction and the opportunity it offered blacks was ending. And, during the 1880s, leading up to the 1888 “Gentleman’s
Agreement” that blocked African-Americans from professional ball, Jim Crow tightened its grip. But Fowler persevered where other equally good players, like Moses Fleetwood Walker, gave up, and therein is the lesson of Laing’s research. “I became more and more amazed at the irony of it,” said Laing. “Here’s a man who epitomizes every great American value, the stated value of the American movement – perseverance, the unwillingness to let obstacles stand in his way, his self-help approach.” And, yet, he was barred by racism alone from pursuing his chosen profession at the highest level.

Lauren Wallen, OHS Alto, Hits High Note By LIBBY CUDMORE
F
or the first time in over a decade, Oneonta High School is sending a vocalist to join 779 of the most talented musicians in the East to perform at the All-Eastern Honors Ensemble April 4-7 in Hartford, Conn. OHS senior Lauren Wallen, 17, daughter of Danya and Jay Crossman, will sing Alto II in the 120-person Treble Voice Chorus, placing her in the top 10 percent of all junior and senior musicians in New York State. “I’ve been singing since I was little,” she said. “When I started taking vocal lessons, I discovered it was really one of my strengths.” For the second year in a row, she scored 100 on her level six New York State Music Association Festival
(NYSMA) solo with Richard Hageman’s “Do Not Go My Love.” The score helped secure her place in the 2012 All-State Choir this past December in Rochester, but since she had performed in the 2011 All-State Chorus, she opted to play French horn in the All-State Band instead. To get into All-Eastern, a vocalist must have been accepted into All-State at least once, followed by a series of recommendations from teachers. Megan Dyer, OHS vocal director, was one of Lauren’s strongest supporters. “It’s such an honor for her and for the music department,” she said. Five OHS students auditioned for the concert, but only Wallen made the cut. “No other students from Otsego County are going,” said Dyer. “And I think there’s one student from
Binghamton.” In 2010, Ethan Cypress, a student of OHS Instrumental Director Michael DePauw, was selected for All-Eastern Concert Band, in a similar milestone. The Treble Voice Chorus, made up of 120 students from Maryland to Maine, will spend three days rehearsing their seven songs, including “I Thank You God” by Gwyneth Walker and David Childs’ “Weep No More,” which Wallen described as “so beautiful.” The rehearsals culminate in a concert at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts. Dyer will attend with her to help with the challenging choral arrangements. Wallen is president of the OHS Concert Choir and Concert Band and plans to attend the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam.
