ith four white and brown chickens quietly clucking and pecking in a sun-dappled yard, you might think that you’re on a country farm at harvest time. Nope – you’re in Cindy Falk’s backyard on Irish Hill. “We knew people had raised chickens in the village,” said Falk, a CGP professor who is also a village trustee. “My daughter Elizabeth wanted some, so we went down to ask.” In the City of Oneonta, raising chickens is banned, although there’s a push on to allow it. In Cooperstown, however, the Falks Cindy Falk exam- discovered no legal obstacle. ines Snowflake, one of the Silkie So they built a little Bantams her henhouse and got some family’s tending chickens – two white on Irish Hill. Silkie Bantams, Snowflake and Cupcake, and two Golden Comets, Nugget and Pip Pip. “The eggs from Snowflake and Cupcake are really good,” Falk said. “They’re lighter, they whip up well. Fresh eggs are the biggest benefit (of chickens), and they help in the garden with pest control.” And it’s a benefit she shares with the whole village. “Last year for the Harvest Fest” – the annual Community Dinner that was last Sunday, Sept. 28, this year – “we brought fresh deviled eggs,” she said. “And every year in the Halloween parade, Lizzie puts Snowflake and Cupcake in a baby stroller and walks them down Main Please See CHICKENS, B2

He was discharged in 1945 and is the only other member of his crew still living. The flight left at 6:30 a.m. from Albany and arrived in Baltimore around 8. Lamberton and Voris joined 48 other veterans and their escorts on two buses. Voris was escorted by his friend Robert Parmeter, and Lamberton was joined by his son, Harold Edwin. “At the airport, they gave us packets of cards and letters people had written,” said Voris. “We had 50 cards from everyone here at St. James,” Lamberton added. They were also given a copy of Stephen Brown’s book “The Jewel of the Mall,” a collection of photographs of the WWII Memorial. From Baltimore, they were bused to D.C., where well-wishers were gath-

and set about reviving their newsletter. “It was mostly reminiscing,” she said. “We started changing it to include ‘Class Notes,’ about where alumni were living, what they were doing, announcements about their children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren!” The newsletter, modeled on the ones Hewlett put together while working at SUNY Oneonta, also included photos of alumni and nomination forms for the Wall of Distinction and the Athletic Hall of Fame. “The older alumni especially love the newsletter,” she said. “So many of them live so far away, and they love reminiscing.” She also served as the secretary for six years, but stepped down when she started school. And though she serves on the Wall of Distinction selection committee, she was “floored” when they read her name as the Alumni of the Year. “I had never, in my wildest dreams, considered myself worthy.” Palmer has a different take: “She’s long overdue.”
Council May Make Chickens Legal CHICKENS/From A1 garden. “We have fruit trees. We grow our own vegetables. We thought it would be nice to have our own eggs from our own flock of hens.” The laws preventing fowl from being raised in city limits have been on the books since at least 1975, according to Robert Chiappisi, code enforcement officer. “It’s hard to imagine it wasn’t allowed at some point in the city’s history.” Lichtman and Chiappisi worked together to draft the ordinance. “It’s an extension of the urban farming movement,” said Lichtman. “What you can get out of your own backyard is so much healthier than what you can buy at the store, and it cuts down on carbon emissions and energy use.” However, City Council member Dave Rissberger said he will vote against the proposed ordinance. “There’s nothing in this amendment that says someone can’t buy 20 chickens and throw them in the back yard without proper shelter,” he said at his ward meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 24. “This ordinance doesn’t have any teeth for code enforcement.” Citizens who have spoken up at Common Council meetings are worried that chickens will bring foxes into
Center City, that chickens will run loose like feral cats and get hit by cars, or that the noise from the chickens will disturb the peace. “My neighbors hardly know I have chickens,” said Al Dicka, owner of Daddy Al’s deli in the West End, just over the city line in the Town of Oneonta. He raises 30 chickens in a coop on his West Oneonta property and sells the fresh eggs at his store. “At night, they don’t make a sound.” And although they do occasionally make a break for it, his neighbors don’t really mind. “They eat the grubs in their gardens,” said Dicka. “And they don’t make hardly any noise.” “It’s such a benign amount of noise,” said Brzozowski. “I don’t believe it will have a negative impact on the quality of life.” “It’s good for me,” said Dicka. “Instead of sitting on my couch watching TV, I get up, go out and take care of them.” The ordinance will be voted on at the regular meeting of Common Council, at 7 p.m. next Tuesday, Oct. 7. “They allow chickens in all five boroughs of New York City,” said Brzozwski. “There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to raise them here as well.”

Last year, students worked with Scenic Hudson in Poughkeepsie, devising ways to bring tourists to the picturesque Hudson Valley village of Cold Spring. “They had a building they weren’t using, and our students presented several ideas, including a bed and breakfast,” said Sorin. “The town needed more hotel rooms, and the board hadn’t thought of the building like that.

The Freeman’s Journal
Mark Rathbun and wife Diane at their Bowerstown home, a renovated church.
a member of Otsego County’s Rathbun clan – his dad was from East Springfield – so it only made sense that, a senior at Springfield College, he did his student teaching at CCS. After he was hired by Kantorowski in 1974, he taught elementary and high school phys-ed here for eight years, coaching varsity baseball, cross-country and girls volleyball. The highpoint was the famed baseball team of 1981 – Rich Busse, Matt Schuermann, the Curtis brothers and others – which went farther in tournament play than any other CCS baseball team and was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. “They were kids who loved baseball,” their coach remembers. “They were smart. They were easy to coach. They got it right off the bat.” Rathbun credits his teams’ successes to “high standards – not accepting excuses as to why we couldn’t reach those standards.” Even more important was “quality interaction,” which he likened to maintaining a bank account. Overtime, he filled his players’ accounts with “emotional deposits” of praise and encouragement. “So when you have to make a withdrawal” – through
criticism – “it’s there. They accept it. They know it’s warranted.” “It was wonderful to coach them,” he remembers of that and other teams. “And now it’s great to have them as friends.” After a year as guidance counselor at Schenevus (1984-85), Rathbun joined BOCES’ alternative education program, aimed at guiding “at-risk youth” into productive lives. To begin forming a bond with young people with “all the capabilities to be successful, but weren’t,” he’d begin the school year with a week of back-packing and mountain-bike riding in the Adirondacks or Catskills. He defined his mission with three questions: “What do we want our students to know? That’s academics. What do we want our students to do? Skills. What do we want our students to be like? Compassionate, understanding, tolerant.” By 1999, he’d been promoted to BOCES director of alternative education, then director of innovative programs. After retiring in 2003, he joined chldren’s County Day School in New Windsor at head of school. Continuing to live in Bowerstown with Diane, a former art teacher, and their two growing children – daughter Lisa, now 21 and pursuing a music production career in Nashville, and John, now 24, and living in Buffalo – he was elected to the CCS school board, serving for 12 years, including a couple of terms as president. Even in retirement, he continued working with young people, among other things, coaching at the Clark. “I’m very, very honored to be part of that group,” he said, referring to the Fetterman honorees. “It’s not an award for achievement. It’s an award for having an impact, for having a positive effect on young people’s lives.”
