The Year Of The Chicken – Yummy!

R

emember when this time of year meant Vidalia onions, sweet and crisp and grown only in the vicinity of Vidalia, Ga. They were much desired and relatively pricey. But, no matter, they were only available once a year.

Treat yourself.

Was it a decade ago that Vidalia-like sweet onions started appearing year ’round? They looked like the much-desired onions, but weren’t quite as pungent – and, after a while, a bit mushy, too.

Well, the bad eventually pushed out the good. For the past few months, you may have noticed at local Price Choppers that the Vidalia aura that made the Vidalia-like onion enticing is gone.

The knock-offs are selling for $1.29 a pound, compared to $2.99 for red onions and Bermuda-like onions and the others that used to take second place to those much desired Vidalias.

Alas, a real Vidalia hasn’t been seen in these parts for years.

• What food shopper hasn’t had that kind of experience?

Our kids tell us they don’t like tomatoes. What’s not to like? Of course, they’ve never had a juicy, moist, ripe tomato – just those chewy reddish things that have been sitting around in coolers for months.

And chickens. Oh, my. The size of those chicken breasts, grown on some Jurassic farm.

Too much. And tasteless. And the frequent salmonella scares.

“A recent USDA study found that 24 per cent of all cut-up chicken parts are contaminated by some form of salmonella,” the New Yorker reported in a scary takeout last month.

No wonder sensible people with plenty of other things to do are saying it’s sensible to grow chickens in your own backyards.

The City of Oneonta has just gone through that debate. At first, Common Council was skeptical.

The clucking. The droppings.

Would foxes be drawn into Center City by these feathered treats?

“This is a particularly foul idea,” said resident Frank O’Mara declared at a public hearing last

what’s next? Can I have four pigs in my barn?”

But neighbor Tracy Allen parried, “If we turn this down, we are making a statement that local food isn’t important to us. There are people who can’t afford to go to the store and buy organic eggs – so let them raise a few chickens.”

In the end, the Allens of this world carried the day. Earlier this month, Council member David Rissberger was the only hold out.

Tuesday the 17th, when a city law allowing chicken farming went to public hearing, no opponents showed up. Mayor Southard said he intended to sign the bill into law.

• Kathy Peters, graphic artist for The Freeman’s Journal this newspaper, raises chickens on Kian Grady, 1, of her Schuyler Lake farmstead, and Cooperstown, would cercelebrates the experience at http:// tainly agree: Chickens are lestersflat.blogspot.com. entertaining.

You may be surprised to learn, “they really fun to watch,” Kathy October, after which a chicken said.

say the taste is too strong,” she reports. “I say, they taste so much better that I can’t go back to buying eggs in the store.”

It turns out they provide good fertilizer; left alone, the droppings might improve your lawn.

(That brought Warren Ainslie to mind, and his Dancing Veggie Farm at the end of the Fly Creek Valley: Each year, he’d plant his garlic crop over the spot where the chicken coops had been the year before.)

So many varied people are finding their way to chickens – from Cooperstown Village Trustee Cindy Falk, the CGP professor, to “Daddy Al” Dicka, proprietor of Daddy Al’s on Oneonta’s West End (he lives in the town) – and they swear by them.

Vidalia-like onions, tomatoes like tennis balls, mushy corn on the cob – they were grand experiments, grand experiments that didn’t turn out. Let’s consider that we’re embarked on a new grand experiment – the Era of the Chicken, perhaps. It can’t work out any worse.

Que aproveche!

here are many reasons to raise chickens in your backyard, but here are a few of the most

frequently expressed reasons people raise chickens: ► Chickens are easy, inexpensive pets when compared to most other pets.

• One bag of layer feed lasts a month for many backyard flocks • They mature much quicker than most other pets • No housebreaking required

• It’s easy to have more than one! ► Hens will produce eggs that are fresh and nutritious, not to mention great tasting. Backyard eggs are also much healthier than their store bought counterparts.

Backyard eggs contain: • 1/3 the cholesterol of store bought eggs • 2/3 more Vitamin A • 1/4 less saturated fa t • 2 times the amount of Omega 3 fatty acids • 3 times the amount of Vitamin E • 7 times more Beta Carotene • Plus you know what the hen consumed in order to produce the egg!! ► Chickens are great for the environment : • Chickens love eating our left-overs • They save us trips to the store

$6,300 Fills Those Empty Bowls To the Editor, On March 7, the entire Cooperstown community turned out to support the ninth annual Empty Bowls Luncheon, a benefit for the Food Pantry.

Local potters created over 300 beautiful bowls, more than 35 restaurants and individuals made the delicious soups and breads, and many businesses and individuals donated items for the raffle.

Christ Church again welcomed the event with open arms, 270 people were served, and close to 40 volunteers ensured that it ran like clockwork.

With the generous support of corporate sponsors Gordon B. Roberts Agency, NYCM Insurance and Bieritz Insurance, the ninth annual Empty Bowls Luncheon generated net proceeds of $6,300 for the Cooperstown Food Pantry, bringing the total raised by this event over the past nine years to $50,920.

Our deepest thanks to all

who helped make this event such a tremendous success, including Bocca Osteria, Brewery Ommegang, Cooley’s Stone House Tavern, Cooperstown Diner, Cooperstown Distillery, Cooperstown Natural Foods, Council Rock Brewery, Danny’s Market, Doubleday Cafe, Dog Wild, Jackie’s Restaurant, Jive Cafe, Karen Katz Studio, Lemon Tree Shop, LM Townsend Catering, Mel’s at 22, Mohican Florists, Nicoletta’s Cafe, The Otesaga, Stagecoach Coffee, and The Tunnicliff Inn. The list of selfless individuals who donated their time and talents is lengthy, and includes many of your friends and neighbors. Together we are supporting one of the most important services in Otsego County. We look forward to the day when there are no more “empty bowls.”

Governor Should Let Professionals Do Jobs To the Editor: Governor Cuomo claims to be an advocate for New York State taxpayers. Why does he support taking public tax dollars away from public schools and giving it to private for-profit charter schools?

All kids need the Governor to comply with the law to fully and fairly fund our public schools.

Governor Cuomo claims to be an advocate for reducing testing in our public schools. Why does he propose to increase the percentage test scores weight in teacher evaluations, thereby increasing the number of tests students must take? The burden of teacher evaluation rests of the shoulders of school administrators, not on the backs of school children.

All kids need assessments that guide teacher instruction, not grade teacher performance.

Governor Cuomo claims to be an advocate for students and parents. Why does he avoid the invitations of teachers across the state who have urged him to witness for himself the teaching and learning occurring every day in our classrooms?

All kids need their elected representatives to allow local parents, education professionals and elected school board members to make the decisions they know are in the best interests of their students.

Dispatch from Ghent – The arrival of a courier from London, and of one from Mr. Crawford, American Ambassador at Paris, produced several conferences, and without doubt, contributed to accelerate the result of peace, which was signed yesterday in the afternoon. It is easy to perceive the joy and satisfaction of the people of this city. Accustomed to consider the Americans as almost erased from the list of nations, they have seen them at length take up and sustain a most noble attitude as an independent people, proud of its patriotism, its force, and its ancient glory. No doubt the condition of the peace will be honorable to both parties.

Pastor: Modern Era Like 1st Century Palestine, So Adjust Church Accordingly PRAYER/From A1 Romero, the Salvadoran Catholic bishop who organized peaceful demonstrations against his country’s repressive regime and was assassinated.

In a key scene, Father Rutilio Grande, who espoused Liberation Theology, told his timid friend, (soon to be no longer timid,) “Jesus is not someone in heaven judging us. He’s down here with his people, building a kingdom.”

What if, the Rev. Robert S. Turner asked himself, Jesus intended The Lord’s Prayer to be taken literally?

The result, a half-decade later, is “Our Father Who Aren’t In Heaven: Subversive Reflections on the Lord’s Prayer,” published March 5 by Wipf & Stock.

That plays out most provocatively, perhaps, in “Forgive us our trespasses” – the original wording is closer to “Forgive us our debt, as we forgive our debtors.” In the early church, Pastor Turner said, all property was held in common, and Christians “would pay each other’s debts.”

“Our Father” revisits the Old Testament Book of Leviticus, which calls for a “Jubilee” every 50th year, where slaves and prisoners are freed, debts forgiven and land returned to the original owners.

Given the debt burden so many Americans are carrying today, why shouldn’t prosperous ones pay off the debts of the less-prosperous ones? “I think that’s what the church ought to be doing,” said Turner, who has been filling the interim role at the Elm Street church since October and the retirement of the Rev. Douglas Deer.

Bob Turner was raised in a small town, Herrin, Ill., and majored in English at Southern Illinois University – his teachers included Richard Russo, who would later win a Pulitzer, and whose memoir, “Elsewhere,” about growing up in Gloversville, caused an Upstate stir on its publication in 2012.

Turner went on to Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Ky., more fundamentalist now than it was then, then served five years – 1996-2001 – as a campus minister at the University of West Virginia.

non-profit in Washington, D.C., seeking to extend child protections internationally, visited Sri Lanka and India, and also served as associate pastor at Ravenswood Baptist Church in Annandale, Va. By 2012, he was experiencing the challenges of debt. His wife, Sarah, had contracted a chronic disease, she could not work fulltime, her benefits had been cut off and the couple had to shortsell their condo and move in with her parents in New Jersey.

“My wife and I are working on a plan to get out of debt ourselves,” said the pastor, so “we can increase charitable giving. So we can be better citizens and better Christians.”

Turner – he has two daughters, Natalie, at Marywood College, Scranton; and Rachel, 18, in high school in New Jersey – has been posted as interim pastor several times since, which in the Baptist Church involves helping congregations come to grip with transition, letting some traditions go and embracing a new consensus before hiring a permanent replacement.

A student of early Christianity, Pastor Turner sees many parallels between first-century Palestine and

today. “The screws were being tightened” by “the temple state,” by King Herod and by the Roman Empire, similar to the G-8 vs. the rest of the world today, he said.

Such a phrase in “The Lord’s Prayer” as “thy kingdom come,” which seems commonplace today, was provocative to the powers that were. “There was one kingdom – Rome. And they didn’t see the reason for any others,” he said. And Jesus as “Lord” – well, the only lord was the Roman emperor.

So the original church, by definition and necessity, was “counter cultural,” small, with members dependent on each other. “Nothing belonged to themselves,”

Turner said. “It was all for the common good.”

Some Christians are trying to accomplish that through the “New Monasticism” movement. He told of former students of his who moved into the “worst neighborhood in Charlotte, N.C., and bought houses there.”

They called their movement Hyaets, an Aramaic word associated with “community,” and are now The Family Tree. “We’re going

to love more,” they told the minister. “We’re going to offer hospitality. We’re going to get to know our neighbors.”

A dozen years later, “they love it,” Turner said.

This approach, as you might imagine, has led to some lively discussions at the ecumenical meetings of local clergy since Turner’s arrival last fall. That’s not atypical, he said: “My calling, for the past 20 years, is to be a gadfly.”

Building Owner Seeks Demolition Permit

Land Trust Protects Whelan Land In Pierstown COOPERSTOWN

O

tsego Land Trust announced the protection of 70 acres of farm fields and forest on Keyes Road in Pierstown previously donated to it by Mary Anne Whelan, the retired physician.

This property is next to 300 acres for-

merly protected by the Land Trust.

“My hope for my gift is to give the land back to itself, and to the other creatures of the earth which have learned to live on, and with it, nourishing it in turn as they have been nurtured,” said Dr. Whelan.

OLT sold the property to Frank Novak with a conservation easement.

BUILDING/From A1 she said of the building’s owner.

Reached by telephone, Manno said he was unsure what he would like to say about his plans, so deferred comment.

All

A public hearing on the demolition permit has been scheduled at the next H-PARB meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, in Village Hall. The permit application is on file in the Village Clerk’s Office.

Drerup said H-PARB is solely responsible for demolition permits in the village, which is part of both the Glimmerglass National Historic District and a separate Cooperstown National Historic District.

Village Trustee Cindy Falk, who was appointed to P-HARB when it was formed in 2008, said – quoting the law – that buildings contributing to the character of the village or neighborhood “should be retained with their historic features.”

However, she said, there’s a hardship exception, allowing demolition if the property is incapable of earning a reasonable return; if it can’t be adapted for any other use, and if “good faith efforts” have been unable to find a purchaser. Manno has been marketing the property since 2010.

The H-PARB, as the village’s newest regulatory commission, has only handled a half-dozen demolition permits, Drerup said, and only one was controversial – the Flanagan House next to Bassett Hall that the hospital demolished for a parking lot.

Location in a historic district is not enough in

itself to block a demolition, according to Kathleen LaFrank, the state’s National Register coordinator.

“If he’s not using federal funds, he can do whatever he wants,” she said.

The 0.83 acre lot is owned by Greystone Holding Properties. The main building, right at the corner of Railroad and Glen, is next to the railroad right of way, and was used to store hops to be shipped out by rail, according to Jessie Ravage, who did the research for the local NR districts.

That main building dates to 1890, she said, and the buildings to the north were added at a later date.

County property-tax records say Greystone has owned the building since 2012, but renovations began in 2009 after Niles Curtis, who owned the building for decades while an Agway operated there, sold it. Curtis passed away in 2011.

In the same neighborhood, Greystone also owns 21 Railroad Ave., where The Freeman’s Journal/ Hometown Oneonta and other offices are located, and 11 Railroad, where Cooperstown Distillery is located.

Mayor Jeff Katz said Tuesday, March 17, he was unaware of Manno’s plans.

“But I’ve always been under the impression historical buidings are almost impossible to demolish,” he said.
