‘Executive Principal’ Appointed For CCS STRANG/From A1 Gorman at the elementary school, will report to Strang, according to Superintendent of Schools C.J. Hebert. The $90,000 position is being paid for by the elimination of the director of counseling position (formerly held by Eric Carr, who is now a guidance counselor) and one guidance position (Jay Baldo’s, who took a position in New Hartford over the winter), Lynn Hebert said. Strang This was made possible by a realigning of the guidance department: Carr, formerly focused on grades 9-12, and Katie Baldo, formerly focused on 7-8, now both counsel grades 7-12. The process that led to Strang’s hiring began Dec. 19, when the school board approved a search for a director of student services. A round of interviews led to an offer in late February, but that candidate turned the job down. At that point, the search was resumed. It’s unclear when the “executive principal” concept surfaced. “We’re not doing anything that we didn’t discuss in the creation of the student services position,” the superintendent said, adding, “We appointed the position at a public meeting; we aren’t hiding anything with this.” Strang’s full title is director of student services/executive principal. In an interview Tuesday, July 16, Hebert said the impetus for the new position was the APPRs (Annual Professional Performance Reviews) of teachers being implemented this fall. That, and the requirements of “Common Core Standards” and the “Race to the Top” initiative, which are being implemented by a district-wide “Inquiry Team,” made more firepower necessary, he said. Strang will be chairing the Inquiry Team, which includes the two principals. Because of the “magnitude of the change,” Hebert said, the current principals “have been inundated over the past year.” The goal of all this is “college and career readiness,” and Hebert also foresees more sophisticated quantitative measurements of the quality of a CCS education. Prior to her role in Hoosick Falls/Naples, Strang taught in Rochester public schools. “Her most recent professional accomplishments include developing response to intervention plans, implementing a modified block schedule and establishing a comprehensive system for student learning objective (SLO) creation and review,” the official announcement stated. “I think we put out a very good product, but we can do better,” said Hebert, adding, “We have someone here who is going to do some extraordinary work with us.”

Cooperstown Survives Mystifying Walk On The Wild Side
L
ast summer, one of Cooperstown’s Main Street merchants thought awnings would help attract customers. Since it was less than five days to the June meeting, he wasn’t able to get on that month’s village Planning Board agenda. If the awnings passed muster at the July meeting, then the Planning Board would set a public hearing for the August meeting. If comment was favorable, approval might come at that meeting. If questions were raised, perhaps a decision would be delayed until September. By then, of course, “The 100 Days,” the make-or-break window for success in a tourist town, would have passed for the year. To make a long story short, the merchant dropped the whole idea. • In that onerous regulatory climate – in the light-industrial zone around Railroad Avenue, for instance, the only permitted uses are playground and church; everything else requires a “special exception” from the village trustees, which triggers Planning Board, ZBA and Historic Architectural Review Board scrutiny – what happened the weekend of July 13-14 was simply astonishing. Thousands of Grateful Dead fans descended on the village to hear Furthur, a successor band that included two of the original members of Jerry Garcia’s band, perform at Doubleday Field. Some were middle-aged and prosperous, their tie-dye shirts simply evocative of long-ago wild and crazy times – like the dozen friends from Rome who rented that white stretch limo parked on Leatherstocking Street. For others, these were the wild and crazy times. The smell of
Jim Kevlin/The Freeman’s Journal
As our mothers used to say, it’s not so funny in the morning. Empties, trash and sleeping people who seemed to have dropped where they stood littered the vicinity of Doubleday Field, shrine to the National Pastime, the morning after Furthur performed Sunday, July 14. Granted, by noon, a Herculean effort by village crews and volunteers had the place spotless.
marijuana was everywhere. One of two ODs – a young lady was taken to Bassett Hospital’s ER – was for LSD, an indication that harder stuff, including heroin, law-enforcement folks feared, was circulating. LCB and state Health Department regs were flouted. Beer, two bucks a bottle, was being sold from coolers to all ages. There were so many open-container violations, Police Chief Mike Covert acknowledged, the law was impossible to enforce.
To give the police their due, lax enforcement was prudent. When you invite thousands of pot smokers to town, do you then arrest them for smoking pot? Covert scaled back his aspirations to crowd control. Anything beyond that was unenforceable. • Cooperstown Mayor Jeff Katz said the village expects to clear $10,000-$15,000, but the true application of cost-accounting would cast that in doubt. Who knows how much sales
tax was lost to unauthorized beer vendors and hot-sausage grillers? Who knows how much legitimate restaurants lost to the outlaws? Baseball stores like Mickey’s Place and Paterno Bros. report business disappeared as Dreams Park families avoided Main Street, another loss in sales tax and income. Police and DPW overtime (for cleanup) will no doubt be significant: $10,000 doesn’t go very far. The Furthur concert was sprung on the public in February. Since negotiations were handled in
private, you have to wonder if the Village Board talked all these issues through. At base, you have to ask: What was the public purpose of all of this beer drinking, pot smoking, drug taking, littering, public urination and related mischief? Answer: Dunno. • OK. Enough with the fuddyduddiness. It was quite a weekend. Exciting. A bit dangerous. Fun. Different folks. Different experiences. It evoked the same sizzle as the Cal Ripken induction in 2007 although, happily – or luckily – only a few thousand Deadheads showed up, compared to the 84,000 baseball fans. There’s a two-sided lesson here. Maybe the village should think it through before inviting Phish, the Dave Matthews Band or Moe. – bands with similar followings – to America’s Most Punctilious Village. The other side is that, if Cooperstown can tolerate a weekend of lawlessness, perhaps Cooperstown should think twice about its normal draconian stance toward everybody else, about everything else, during the other 363 days per year. The village survived wild and crazy. Can it survive without squeezing every last nickel from paid parking or burdening the populace with that too-rigorous vending law now under consideration? Or that fine if your sidewalk isn’t shoveled promptly enough? If anyone can smoke a doobie at high noon in the Doubleday Field parking lot, if any 15-year-old can quaff a brewski for breakfast at Main and Pioneer, for crying out loud, let ’em put up an awning.

When we bought our property north of Five Mile Point in 1979, it came with a deed and a title search showing our lot on both sides of Route 80, including a parcel between the road and the lake. We’ve been paying taxes on both parts of the lot and making improvements ever since. Now the state Department of Transportation needs to repair or replace a section of retaining wall under the road nearby. When the potentially affected property

owners met with the DOT real-estate right-of-way staff on May 28, they informed us that, according to their legal staff, the state owns all of our shoreline property, and has since the 1920s. There is no documentation of any transfer of that property to New York State, but DOT says they own it anyway. DOT has begun what they are calling an eminent domain proceeding. But they state that since the state already owns the land, they will not be compensating us for taking it. The shoreline is assessed at thousands per linear foot and we’ve been paying taxes on it for
34 years. Our neighbors, who have been there paying taxes for twice as long, would lose their entire camp without compensation. While DOT’s slides show only a few properties, it appears from their maps that their claims could extend for a considerable distance up and down the lake. Route 80 is constantly in need of repair. This year it’s us. Next year it could be you. DOT will hold a public hearing on this taking at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 25, at Cooperstown High School. I urge everyone with an interest in securing their shoreline to attend. JIM SEVER
Paid Parking Just Reimburses Village For Services Provided To the Editor: I love our Main Street businesses and all they offer to our community, and I love to patronize and support them. I admire the proprietors of these businesses and consider them neighbors and friends. However, as a resident of the village, this is why I feel that paid parking makes sense. If you are a residential taxpayer in the village: • You pay for paving and maintaining the roads for thousands of people who work and visit and spend money on Main Street. • You pay for emptying the garbage cans full of the wrappers and bags and
empty coffee cups that were purchased on Main Street. • You pay to plow, light, and maintain sidewalks on Main Street. • You pay for a police department that maintains order with regard to the visitors who like to have a good time at the bars and restaurants on Main Street. • You pay to maintain the six beautiful parks that tourists use and love. You provide all of these services to the visitors and patrons of Main Street, while at the same time sacrificing many of the same services for yourself.

BARBARA ANN HEEGAN FROM THE CHAMBER
Chamber Suggests Retreat To Air Development Ideas Editor’s Note: This is the Otsego County Chamber’s response to last week’s editorial supporting a publicprivate entity for the county.
W
e are pleased that the public sector is raising awareness of the urgent need for action by business and government on economic recovery. The plan being developed by the mayor of the City of Oneonta, Richard P. Miller Jr., provides a starting point for these discussions and articulates the position of many in the administration. A comprehensive strategy for Otsego County’s economy will likely encompass many of the mayor’s priorities, as well as those deemed critical by private-sector employers and those who have been striving for years to create good jobs today and prosperity in the future. The Otsego County and Cooperstown chambers of commerce have an active role in promoting education/ workforce development, tourism, programs for small and large businesses, public policy and quality of life throughout Otsego County. The Otsego County and Cooperstown chambers play a significant role in economic development and both recognize the critical role that current economic development organizations play in the economy. We therefore acknowledge that these organizations must co-exist in relationships that encourage collaboration and
cooperation for the greater good of the Otsego County business climate. The recommendations would be that the chambers of commerce that are located in Otsego County should all be at the table as part of the planning process. We come together today as a result of recent conversations and media coverage on a new economic-development and tourism model. This proposed model does not reflect the best interests of our entire countywide business community. The Otsego and Cooperstown chambers will take an active role in bringing economic-development groups together to have a county wide conversation of how the economic-development model may look. This is an important process and should not be done hastily. We as the Otsego County and Cooperstown chambers want to ensure that any economic and tourism plan has transparency and is accountable to all of the taxpaying citizens and businesses throughout Otsego County. We look forward to working with all our members in Otsego County as they move forward in formulating a plan for the economic development and tourism within the county. We would like to coordinate a retreat day bringing all of our resources together, including best practices and case studies around the state on economic development models.

To the Editor: Since my wife and I came here in 1990, two complaints have been paramount among locals; taxes are too high and “ya can’t park downtown in the summer.” Over the past decade, “the streets are in horrible shape” has been added to the chorus. The logical conclusion to draw from these three axioms is that we need to fix the streets and, since parking places are at a premium during the summer, let’s rent them instead of giving them away. This is, of course, just what the trustees decided to do. I was heartened to read the letters from Grace Kull, Miller and Mahlum, and former mayor Wendell Tripp. The opponents to paid

Callahan. “There’s no better place in the evening.”
parking have every right to complain, although I thought there had been a time for that before the practice was implemented. And they have a right to sue, although I don’t see much of a chance of winning; the elected officials of a municipality instituted a policy under their purview, and recourse would lie in electing other trustees to replace them. But having the right to do something does not make what you do right. As Miller and Mahlum point out, only the attorneys will profit from this, and please, this is not an attack on attorneys. As a village taxpayer (unlike many of those from surrounding areas whom I have overheard complain about this measure), I applaud anything that can bring in the much needed revenue and do it by getting the lion’s share from visitors. But no policy is without
faults, and that is why we experiment and adjust, and why I make the following suggestions: 1. While Memorial Day weekend may be too much revenue to pass up, why not suspend paid parking until the Saturday of the following weekend, or whenever the Dreams Park opens. 2. During two weeks in March (or sometime in winter), sell parking permits for $10, and advertise this fact in The Freeman’s Journal and the Crier. 3. Also run in the two local papers as a weekly two line public service announcement, the fact that on Friday, paid parking is in effect from noon to 6 p.m.. At the very least, let’s set aside what could become a costly suit and see what good minds can come up with. DAVID PEARLMAN Cooperstown

To the Editor: This is a long overdue expression of thanks for the mayor and trustees. Thank you for addressing the critical issues facing our village and implementing action plans to raise significant revenues to work toward solutions. Thank you too for keeping us well aware of issues that directly impact us through the new village website enhancement, public speaking opportunities at each trustee meeting, hosting public forums, newsletters and general discussions. As a resident I believe it’s my inherent responsibility to extend my own effort to be a participatory citizen and part of a larger team to support our elected representatives who lead without any financial reimbursement and contribute hundreds of hours keeping our village viable, often without any recognition. I’ve read and listened to much ado about paid parking but am yet to hear any suggestions that would

result in raising any dollar amount that rivals paid parking without a significant increase in taxes. In 40 years living in Cooperstown, I have heard residents of the village and surrounding communities state they will not, and do not shop, in the village business district during the busy summer season. Now it seems so many say they want to shop here but the new reason they do not is paid parking. Go figure. There does seem to be a confusion about being a Cooperstown resident and paying taxes. It’s true, many mailing addresses are in the 13326 zip code, but it’s those who reside within the specified Village of Cooperstown that are paying village taxes. The village is a hub for many, both residents and non-residents, and paid parking is one way to help ease the financial burden so we may all enjoy what this village has to offer.

Village Needs Revenues To Provide Services To Everyone LETTER/From A4 with similar residential taxes: • Our streets are in disrepair. • We are responsible for our own garbage/ recycling removal. • Our sewage treatment plant is antiquated and needs replacement. • We are responsible for removing snow from our sidewalks. • Residents who pay taxes are often crowded out of local parks such as Three Mile Point and Fairy Springs because they are overrun with visitors. • Our schools struggle, having to cut excellent teachers, music programs, and
extracurricular activities in recent years. • Our library is underfunded and in need of repairs. The village mayor and volunteer trustees do their best to maintain the village on the small budget they must work with. Perhaps it is okay that the visitors who use these services are required to make a small contribution to help us provide these services. We appreciate all that our local businesses and visitors do for our community, and it seems reasonable to hope that they would appreciate all that we, “the village,” offer in return.

Two sets of Cooperstown sisters took in the Doubleday lot atmosphere before the show. At right, with garlands in their hair, are Eden Griger, right, and sister Tessa. Also, Jane Auld, left, and sister Mary next to her.
Realtor Margaret Savoie stood guard against revellers intent on using the bushes behind her Chestnut Street office for whatever purpose. Helping protect her is Mike Welch, recently retired Smith Ford general manager, who has joined Savoie’s Don Olin Realty staff.

Though the numbers won’t be in until later in the week, Katz estimates that the concert brought the village $12,000 to $15,000. The promoter, Stu Green of Magic City, Vestal, said he sold 5,700 tickets; another 800 were sold at the Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce. “I heard from a lot of concertgoers that we were so cool, so welcoming,” he said. “It was different, and it was stressful, but I think it went very well.” “It took us back to the Woodstock days,” said Jean DeSena, whose husband, Jim, is a CCS graduate. “Everyone was dancing, peaceful.” “Cooperstown was very accommodating,” said Virginian Brian Johnson, tending the Glass Wizard vending tent. “The hospitality was great.”
