We Must Be Vigilant, But It’s Time To Let Otsego Manor Go

eep and legitimate concerns surrounded the county Health Facilities Corp.’s Monday, Jan. 27, vote to sell Otsego Manor. Medicare.gov, which ranks nursing homes, gave VestraCare’s Binghamton nursing home a threestar ranking. Focus Ventures’ Utica facility got one star. Despite those rankings, the Health Facilities Corp., a “local development corporation” designed to take decisions out of the political process, voted 4-3 to sell Otsego Manor to Focus. The tight vote came after a twohour executive session where issues of quality loomed large in the lively debate, according to members interviewed after the vote. Focus offered $18.5 million for the county home; Vestra, only $16 million. So, on the surface, it might seem the Health Facilities Corp. went with the money over quality. • There are reasons to believe that’s not the case. Foremost, the members – those voting “aye” and “nay” alike – have credibility. While county Rep. Don Lindberg, R-Worcester, has a reputation as a flinty-eye protector of county coffers, his “aye” vote for Focus was only one of four. Former Oneonta mayor Kim Muller and Rick Eastman, principal in Oneonta’s Eastman Construction, have reputations for prudence the commonsense; both also voted “aye.” And the eminent county Rep. Kay Stuligross, D-Oneonta, who has guided the effort with integrity and firmness, broke the tie for Focus. It’s hard to believe all these four

would choose dollars over quality. That is not to denigrate the concerns of the three “nays” – Dr. Don Pollock, Cooperstown, the retired physician; Bill Dornburgh, Cooperstown, the retired banker whose wife, Patricia, is a Manor resident, or Carol Kiehn Kirkey, Oneonta, whose husband, Terry, a Manor resident, passed away in February. They clearly care and are concerned that The Manor ends up under quality ownership. But Kirkey put it this way: “I am disappointed. I am not

distraught. I have every confidence the history of quality care at Otsego Manor will continue.” And then, she shook her finger: “Or else, I will be back.” • On the qualitative side, Lindberg said Focus’ Utica nursing home simply made a better impression than Vestra’s in Binghamton. Many more activities were offered for residents, he said. Whereas the hallways were crowded with wheelchairs at the Vestra facility, there was a sense of

order at the Focus one, he said. Two more selling points. Focus plans to build an assisted-living adjunct – garden apartments where people not yet ready to move into nursing homes can live. And it offers adult daycare, a way to allow people to stay in their homes. Stuligross said she visited both facilities twice. The first to the Vestra one was expected; the second was not, and didn’t meet the standards of the first. The Focus one impressed on both visits. Kim Muller said the star rank-

ings were much discussed, and it was noted that Otsego Manor, beloved as it is, has only a onestar ranking. It was raised to three stars, but another inspection dropped it down to one again. Both Muller and Stuligross said the rankings catch a moment in time. Shortfalls can be met, but it takes 2-3 to recoup from a poor ranking, and another shortfall can drop the ranking again. Alone, both said, the medicare. gov rankings are incomplete. What can we do but trust? (And going forward, verify.) • Nobody wants to sell Otsego Manor. But study, deliberation and public meetings over last winter made it clear that changes in federal reimbursement policies make The Manor obsolete. Our minds had to trump our hearts. The establishment of the local development corporation removed the decision from politics. And hiring of the law firm, Harris Beach, which has particular expertise in this area, ensured the process of finding a buyer would be well handled. Monday’s 4-3 vote authorized Shawn Griffin, Harris Beach’s representative, to negotiate a contract with Focus. A months-long vetting process by the state Department of Health will follow, so this is not a done deal. By the end of the year, however, Otsego Manor’s transition may be complete. No one wanted it to happen, but happen it must. We can draw some reassurance from what’s been a steady process overseen by people of goodwill. And let’s remember Carol Kirkey’s words: If quality falters, we will be back!

Wildcatters, Marginal Frackers Still A Risk To the Editor: Last week’s editorial on the recent panel at Foothills in Oneonta on low gas potential in New York State by Lou Allstadt, Chip Northrup, Jerry Acton and Brian Brock misses the point. You say that they were “completely convincing” that fracking is dead in New York State. But that’s not what they said. They said that the potential is much lower than previously trumpeted by the industry but, precisely for that reason, if fracking is permitted by the state it will invite marginal operators and wildcatters who can do a great deal of damage. We still need a statewide ban,

just as Lou Allstadt proclaimed. We need it for even more important reasons as well, which were also mentioned at the presentation. The most imperative of these is that the methane emissions of natural gas production have been demonstrated to be a horrendous greenhouse gas. The larger point is that we need to get off all fossil fuels if we want to prevent runaway climate change. A ban on fracking in New York State can send a powerful message to this end nationally and globally. This is not the time to “refocus our energies” on something else, as you opine. Too much is at stake to aban-

don the fossil fuel issue, even as other problems also need to be addressed. More than ever we to keep our eye on the ball, to seize an opportunity in New York State to strike a blow for a sustainable future in which our children can survive and prosper. That means a statewide ban on fracking, on fracking wastes, and on further development of natural gas, including more infrastructure, pipelines, etc. We need to transition now to renewables as best we can. ADRIAN KUZMINSKI Fly Creek Moderator Sustainable Otsego

Without A Statewide Ban, Fracking Promises To Haunt County’s Future To the Editor, In your editorial of last week, it is not necessarily true that “fracking is dead in Otsego County.” True that, should Cuomo finalize the sGEIS, major energy companies probably would be interested only in drilling close to the border with Pennsylvania. Already Chesapeake and XTO have applied for permits there. However, independents probably would pepper the Southern Tier with wildcat wells. In the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, the closest geology to here is beneath the western counties of McKean and Potter. There, two to three dozen shale wells have been drilled in each county, despite uniformly poor results – at least one well

per town. Independents can afford to gamble against long odds because they often drill with investors’ money. Drilling keeps them in business, and if they don’t hit gas, then only the investors lose. What is more, the trends that we presented in Foothills on the 17th are regional. It is possible that wildcatters would find an exceptionally rich local patch of shale and drill the heck out of it. In a recent study by the state Geological Survey, the organically richest well into the Utica shale (Skranko 1 with 390-foot thickness of shale with TOC>2%) is in Herkimer County, just over the border from Otsego County. The Pullis 1 well in Otsego is only miles from it. When Covalent

drilled, it could have hoped to hit the same rich shale, but found there that the Utica is only half as rich. To produce profitably, the Utica shale is a bit too shallow under Skranko and not rich enough under Pullis. However, the Utica gets exceptionally thick north of Cooperstown due to syn-depositional down faulting. Should wildcatters find the right spot, there could be a lot of fracking in or around Otsego County. Allstadt’s endorsement of a ban was not “incongruous.” If you want to be sure that fracking is not in your future, then you should re-refocus your energies back to a ban. BRIAN BROCK Franklin

To the Editor: As a frequent shopper at the Cooperstown Price Chopper, I have been acquiring points for the current cooking-pan promotion. My husband and I do not need the pans, nor do our children. It has been bothering me that I am amassing points for a promotion for which I cannot take advantage. As a volunteer for the Cooperstown Food Bank, I contacted Audrey Murray to see if the Food Bank could use the pans. She was very enthusiastic about the idea, indicating that the pans would be offered to clients who are in need of them. As a Cooperstown Rotary Club member, I announced this idea at a recent club meeting, as I know there are other club members in the same situation. This idea, however, can go further than just our club. If you are not in need of the pans, please consider using your points to donate the pans to our local food pantry. VICKI GATES Cooperstown

Notice to the Mechanics of Otsego County – Whereas a number of the Mechanics of the Towns of Milford, Otego and Laurens, have had a meeting at the house of L.

Fitch, in the Village of Cooperstown, on the 19th day of February next, at noon, there mutually to agree on the prices of their work, that they may be enabled to support their families and pay the Farmers and vendors of goods, wares and merchandise, their dues. Should the Mechanics of different towns think proper to meet and choose a committee to meet on the above day, every purpose will be answered thereby. Daniel S. Stanton, Simeon Lawrence, Jas. S.

The smoker given in the Parish House on Thursday evening was thoroughly enjoyed by the 77 members of the Christ Church who attended. The event, the first of its kind to be held, proved so successful that many expressed the desire that another be held at a future date. There was no formality connected with the affair in any way and general good fellowship prevailed throughout the entire evening. The Cooperstown orchestra consisted of W.M. Bronner and Carl Johnson, violins; Harry Ballard, cornet; L.N.

A-6 THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL

Way Paved For Otsego Manor Sale By Year’s End MANOR/From A1 Manor’s auditorium. If all goes well, including state Health Department review and approval, the home could change hands by the end of the year, said Shawn Griffin, attorney for the Otsego County Health Facilities Corp., the formal name for the local development corporation created by the county to facilitate the home’s sale. The split vote came about 4 p.m., after a nearly two-hour executive session at which the competing contract bids were debated. “It wasn’t a question of which of the bids was good and which was bad,” Stuligross told about 25 observers in The Manor’s auditorium. During the executive session, “everybody (on the committee) had an opportunity to express issues,” she

said. “We discussed them at length.” Griffin added that the panel reviewed the bids of two finalists – Focus and VestraCare of Johnson City – and that quality-of-care issues formed the bulk of that discussion. The group also considered a new offer from one of the bidders, he said, without naming it or describing it in detail. Several committee members, including Bill Dornburgh of Cooperstown, whose wife resides in The Manor, had expressed skepticism about the quality of care Focus provides at a home in Utica, although the company argues that most of the home’s problems occurred under its former owners. Seated beneath of depiction of “The Last Supper” in The Manor’s small audito-

rium, Stuligross asked for motions to begin negotiations with Focus. Former Oneonta Mayor Kim Muller promptly offered just such a motion, and the roll call vote among the seven members resulted in the 4-3 approval of Focus. Joining Muller in backing Focus were Stuligross, county Rep. Donald Lindberg, R-Worcester, and Rick Eastman, owner of Eastman Construction, Oneonta. Voting against Focus were Dornburgh, Carol Kiehn Kirkey of Oneonta and Dr. Donald Pollock of Cooperstown. Focus, based in Airmont, Rockland County, bid $18.5 million for the 174-bed nursing home and its 18.5acre site. The next step will be to conclude a contract, which will then be filed with the state Health Depart-

ment, said Griffin of the Harris Beach law firm. The department will then decide whether to issue of certificate of need, which would allow Focus to operate the home. Current Manor employees will be given a chance to apply for jobs under Focus, and the panel’s press release noted that the company has a reputation for working well with unions. Shannon Cayea, chief operating officer for VestraCare, attended the meeting and criticized the outcome. “It’s pretty sad that the members of the LDC went for the money and not quality and years of experience and exemplary service,” she said. “So I’m disappointed with the LDC.” After the vote, an emotional Cayea pointed out to Stuligross that VestraCare had sent representatives to the meeting, while Focus had not. VestraCare operates homes in Broome County and in Kingston, and both are highly rated by the Health Department. Focus Rehabilitation and Care Center in Utica, on the other hand, was found by state inspectors to have three times more deficiencies than the average New York nursing home from December 2009 to November 2013. It also had a rate of complaints per 100 beds that was four times the state average during the same time span. But the company did not take over that home until November 2011, and a spokesman contended that most of the problems predated its takeover. For opponents, it was the last chance to derail Focus. “I’m disappointed, obviously,” Dornburgh said, although he conceded, “it did not come a surprise.” “I think that Carol, Dr. Pollack and I were on the side of the angels, meaning the employees and the residents here,” he added. “And the angels lost.”

CCS Volleyball Team Wins 1st Division Title Since ’96 TITLE/From A1 in the stands watching us. The torch was passed.” Earlier in the season, Herkimer had taken down Dolgeville 3-0. “We knew they were coming for us,” he said. “But my team is resilient, they don’t give up. We were down 9-2 at one point, but in the first game, we tied them at 24.” Herkimer won that first set 24-26, but that didn’t defeat the team. “They told me, ‘We got this, what are we messing around with them for’?” he said. In the second set, the girls took down Herkimer 25-18 and 25-19. They were also down their senior captain, Brooke Liner, who dove for a ball in the second set and injured her shoulder, benching her for the remainder of the game. “I heard the girls say, ‘Let’s win this for Brooke’,” said

Jantzi. “This is not a selfish team. When someone gets sick or hurt, the next girl steps up and says, ‘Let’s take care of this.’ It was a rallying point.” And rally they did. They scored 25-19 in the third set, but got a little “passive” in set four. “They let them back in, 26-24,” said Jantzi. But by Game 5, CCS was back on top, finishing with 25-21 and seizing the division title. The championship earns them a place at the sectionals tournament, and they’ll find out where they’re seeded on Sunday, Feb. 2. Wednesday night they’ll a home game against Frankfort Schuyler, who they beat Friday, Jan. 24 with a 3-1 score. “They talk about this team as a family,” said Jantzi. “They do this for each other, and I’m very proud of them.”

Katz, Tillapaugh, Allstadt Run Again CAUCUS/From A1 tion Tuesday evening, however, Casale and Village Republican Chair Mike Trossett hadn’t returned calls inquiring about the status of their ticket. The Democrat county chair, Richard Abbate, who had served as “placeholder” while seeking a trustee candidate last year – said the Republicans had until Thursday, Jan. 30, to file a “certificate of candidacy” with the village clerk. Otherwise, there would be no Republican mayoral candidate, he said. Anyone wishing to run as an independent has to collect 50 signatures and file them with the village clerk by Feb. 11. “I don’t know why anyone would want to run against (Katz),” said Abbate, who caucus night stepped down as village Democratic chair – Mark DiLorenzo replaced him – but continues as county chair. “I think he’s done an extraordinary job as mayor.” That was certainly the consensus at the firehouse caucus, where former trustee Lynne Mebust nominated Katz and former trustee Frank Capozza seconded it. Deputy Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh Kuch and Trustee Lou Allstadt were also nominated for second terms. “All we’re trying to do is solve problems,” Katz said in his acceptance remarks, “some of which were considered unsolvable.” Noting the $2 million

in state and federal grants received that will fully pay for the redo of Main Street – sidewalks, new LED streetlights, plantings and furniture, the mayor credited “putting the Cooperstown case to people who should hear it – and want to hear it.” In an interview at the caucus’ end, Katz said he’s proud of instituting on-street paid parking; of Fowler Day, honoring the Cooperstown resident who was the first black pro ball player, and of the pesticide ban in Doubleday Field. In a second term, he said his dearest goal would be a wide-ranging upgrade of Doubleday Field, including addition of lockers under new third-base bleachers and creation of a museum where restrooms are now. He has been in conversa-

tion with U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-19, with the idea of getting the upgrades and renovations in place or complete by 1919, Doubleday Field’s 100th anniversary. In his first term, Katz said he’s trying to make the village work for residents and businesses too, pointing to the streamlining of the permitting process for the new Cooperstown Distillery. The day before the caucus, he – and Trustees Allstadt and Cindy Falk – had sat down with Sandy Mathes, the county’s “single point of contact” economic developer, and Elizabeth Horvath, the IDA COO, to discuss redevelopment of the Railroad Avenue area and such key downtown structures as the Key Bank building. “We’re just trying to do rational things that look into

Allstadt. He’d asked the question last month and hadn’t heard back yet. So it was unanimous. Katz summed up: The Village Board isn’t ready to inject police surveillance into Cooperstown’s public spaces. At the mayor’s invitation to speak, Chief Mike Covert, acknowledging the trustees aren’t there yet, said he feels it is part of his responsibility to promote the initiative. He pointed out that many merchants already have cameras in their stores, and the system in Seventh Inning Stretch, where a gunshot was fired Monday, Dec. 23, allowed police quickly to identify Barry Renert, 62, as the suspect. He is now in Otsego County Jail. It took four hours to fill out subpoenas so a car rental company could identify the car Renert was driving, he continued. Surveillance cameras would have allowed instantaneous identification, he said. “I’ll continue to strive to get it,” the chief said.

Such payment shall be made to Dan Crowell, Otsego County Treasurer, 197 Main Street, Cooperstown, N. Y. 13326.
