Distillery owner Eugene Marra is looking ahead to his first project: a lilac-laced gin he’ll christen “Fenimore.” And he wants to get his neighbors, future patrons or not, involved. “I’m on a lilac hunt,” he said.
andy Mathes, the economic developer credited with creating two business parks and 1,000 jobs in Greene County over the past decade, has been invited to adSandy dress the county Board Mathes of Representatives Wednesday, June 5, on the prospect for economic development locally. “This is a good time to focus everybody on economic development, on what the office should be,” said county Board Chair Kathy Clark, R-Otego, who extended the invitation.

Let’s Keep Ioxus In Otsego County
‘A
gainst all odds, manufacturing is staging a comeback,” Time magazine reported in its April 22 cover story, “Made in the USA.” Why? Batteries; in particular, batteries made by GE in Schenectady. The article might just have well talked about batteries made in Otsego County, in Oneonta, at Ioxus, which is manufacturing ultracapacitors – high-end, yes, batteries – in the former Soccer Hall of Fame. In an interview the other day, Mark McGough, company president, declared, “we have the widest range of products and the best products.” Toshiba and Samsung are actually
designing industrial robots to use Ioxus products. Only five years old, the company has grown from 14 employees to 101 (as of last week) in just two years. The company is now considering a 40,000-80,000 square foot expansion, and it has 18 acres at its Town of Oneonta property to do so. The challenge is this: Ioxus would like to stay here. But several communities elsewhere have made it offers. It is in negotiations with Otsego County’s economic development entities, but the outcome is not yet
assured. If a deal can’t be reached to keep Ioxus here, that would be a failure of historic proportions, equal to IBM moving to Binghamton and Sherman Fairchild deciding to found Fairchild Industries, the aviation giant, on Long Island instead of his native Otsego County. It’s possible – likely even – that Ioxus will take off like a rocket in a very few months, transforming the employment picture throughout, not just a 30mile radius of Oneonta, but the whole Southern Tier. As it happens, county
Economic Developer Carolyn Lewis has given notice. Happily, county Rep. Betty Anne Schwerd, who chairs the key Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, has opened discussions with Sandy Mathes, a veteran economic developer from Greene County, to consult during the interim, and he could be a huge help in this matter. Regardless, there are resources at hand, in particular our veteran state senator, Jim Seward, R-Milford, who should do everything in his considerable power to ensure Ioxus is preserved locally for the benefit of this generation of workers and many generations to come.

The King of Bavaria, with the intention of meeting the extraordinary exigencies of the state without increasing the amount of debt, and without obstructing the payments of the different services, which are made with the greatest regularity, has ordered that the voluntary loan which had been opened through the medium of a lottery, should be converted into a forced loan; in consequence of which all the inhabitants of the kingdom who possess a fortune of more than 2,000 florins, or a salary or pension above 600 florins, are to contribute to this loan according to their fortunes or salaries – so that those who are possessed of a fortune of from 2,000 to 4,000 florins, shall be obliged to purchase a ticket of the value of 10 florins; of from 4,000 to 5,000 florins, a ticket at 25 florins; of 10,000 florins, a ticket at 150 florins; and for every 1,000 above 10,000, an additional ticket at 15 florins.

The Coming Disintegration of the Republican Party – There can be no reasonable doubt among calm and wellinformed politicians that the Republican Party will be badly beaten this year – and then as a natural result, follows its complete disintegration. It long ago reached its culminating point – it has been going down the western slope for the past decade – and after this year is destined to give place to some other political organization.

The Cooperstown Rotary Club made its annual visit to the high school on Tuesday of last week where luncheon was served by the students of the Homemaking Department under the direction of Miss Lucy A.

Following the luncheon entertainment was provided in the auditorium by instrumental soloists including Fletcher Blanchard, violin; Frederick Robinson, saxophone; May 22, 1863 Eugene Olmstead, violin; Archie Mogavero, clarihas held power of late years largely through the ability of net; Alton G.

‘Festival of Romantics’ Begins At Hyde Hall Mezzo-soprano Beth Lytwynec performs Emily Dickinson’s “Dear March, come in,” set to music by Aaron Copland, as this summer’s “Festival of American Romantics” began Sunday, May 19, at Hyde Hall. Actors Drew Taylor, center, and Jacqueline Antaramian gave dramatic readings from James Fenimore Cooper’s works and those of his daughter, Susan. Related activities are planned at The Fenimore Art Museum and Glimmerglass Festival. The next related event at the National Historic Landmark mansion on Otsego Lake is “Utopia & Free Love,” June 23. The painting is a reproduction of Samuel B. Morse’s “Gallery of the Louvre.”
Economic Developer Invited To Speak
Jim Kevlin/The Freeman’s Journal
MATHES/From A1 Mathes is visiting as Carolyn Lewis, the county’s economic developer for the past seven years (and, since 2001, an economic development specialist in that office), has tendered her resignation, effective in August. At the invitation of county Rep. Betty Anne Schwerd, R-Edmeston, Mathes visited the county the evening of Thursday, May 16, and spent two hours with her and Hugh Henderson, a veteran member of the county Industrial Development Agency, touring industrial sites. He was reportedly encouraged by the possibilities of what he saw. Mathes’ visit to the county board is simply exploratory at this time, said Clark. At the very least, it’s been suggested, he might assist the county in restructuring its economic-development effort and recruiting a successor to Lewis. “I don’t think we want to close any doors,” said Clark. “Wouldn’t want to preempt the committee” – the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, which Schwerd chairs. “I’m sure they will have that discussion in depth. I want to hear what he has to say.” Mathes’ profile rose locally in January 2012, when state Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, suggested at a Citizen Voices meeting that other counties in his 10-county district were outperforming Otsego in eco-
nomic development. Asked what county might be a model for Otsego to follow, Seward quickly responded, Greene. A visit revealed that two business parks, the 200-acre Greene Business & Tech Park and the 146-acre Kalkberg Commerce Park, had been built in the previous decades on the New York State Thruway in the adjoining towns of Coxsackie and New Baltimore. By ensuring sites were completely shovel-ready – all permits and appropriate zoning in place – Mathes, while executive director of the Greene IDA, had attracted a Save-A-Lot distribution center, a National Bedding Co. manufacturing facility, Dycommon AeroStructures Inc., which was supplying parts and materials to the aerospace industry, and other entities. Another approach was collaborating with local environmental groups to ensure everyone’s priorities were met. For instance, a portion of development fees were dedicated to the development of the Coxsackie Creek Grassland Preserve, ensuring habitat used by the migrating northern harrier was protected. Mathes had left the county at the end of 2011 in a dispute over fees associated with one of the projects, and is currently president of his own consulting firm, Mathes Public Affairs.

Pioneer Street’s New Moniker: ‘Food Alley’ FOOD/From A1 at the flagpole and eat your way in both directions.” Two new eateries opened Saturday, May 18, in the same block this summer: Jennifer and Rich Staltzer’s Crazy Cupz frozen yogurt (43 Pioneer), and Young and Jack Wilkens’ relocated Depot Deli (41 Pioneer). Townsend’s newest culinary venture, the Firehouse Market, will open June 1. Pioneer’s blocks are either side of Main Street are turning the street into a veritable food corridor, with Stagecoach Coffee (31), The Tunnicliff (34), Pioneer Patio (46), Fookin John’s (48), Cooley’s Stonehouse Tavern (49), The Pratt (50) and Townsend’s Templeton Hall catering (63). It’s all part of the “upgrade” of Pioneer Street, said Lucy, creating places for tourists to dine locally and reminding locals that Cooperstown isn’t just for the summer crowd. “This way, we can cater to locals and tourists,” she said. Crazy Cupz owners Jennifer and Rich Stalzer moved from Long Island to Cooperstown in 2011 with the dream of opening a frozen yogurt shop. “They’re very popular down there,” said Jennifer. “We used to take our kids at least once a week.” The couple has five children: RJ, 10, Cody, 4,

and Sierra, 12, attend CCS, while their daughter Tiffany, 24, still lives on Long Island and Johanna, 21, lives in Indiana. “We knew this was an avenue that hadn’t been explored here,” she said. “There are people up here who haven’t even heard of frozen yogurt.” The free samples handed out over the last week changed that, but it’s the bins of colorful toppings that bring in the fans. Frosted animal crackers, crushed Oreos, gummy bears and fresh fruit can be blended into an ever-changing variety of yogurt

flavors. “We’ve got chocolate and strawberry in honor of Mother’s Day, that when swirled together, tasted like a chocolate-covered strawberry,” said Jennifer. “At Christmas, we want to have candy cane, in the fall, we’ll have pumpkin.” Next door is Depot Deli, relocated by proprietor Young Wilkens from its previous site on Railroad Avenue. “One of my regulars came back from Florida and he thought I’d left,” she said. “I want all my locals to know I’m still here.” Young promises the same sandwiches that kept her busy at lunchtime, with some minor changes. All sandwiches are now one price, so hungry customers can come in and order their favorite sandwich by number, then help themselves to a fountain drink while she prepares it. “I’m just trying to make it easier for my customers to get what they want,” she said. The South Beach Salad also got a makeover, with the addition of spring mix and dried cranberries to replace the standard romaine and peppers. She also hopes to get a nacho cheese warmer so she can add Philly Cheese Steaks to the menu. And she’ll also be open later, closing at eleven on weekdays and possibly extending weekend hours as late as three a.m. on weekends. “People come back from the bars and they want something to eat,” she said. At Firehouse Market, Lucy has arranged it so customers can cross the parking lot and nibble on their sandwiches in the gardens of the neighboring Smithy Pioneer Gallery. “People can pick something up here and take it over to the Smithy to enjoy their art, music and theater,” she said.
THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL A-9
The Firehouse Market will feature a deli case, a daily soup, sandwiches, local cheeses and baked goods, and a sneaky feature for the deceptive host. “We’re going to have a ‘Casserole of the Day,’” said Townsend. “People can drop off a casserole dish in the morning and we’ll fill it – they can take it home and pretend they made it.”

The week before, the Zoning Board of Appeals decided the property will require 14 parking spaces, as called for in the plans Marra has already submitted. Two steps remain before the establishment can open its doors in the former

One, the village Planning Board must review the site plan to ensure it meets regulations, will take the project to another public hearing June 18, and then may take a final vote. Two, the Historic Preservation & Architectural Review Board must approve a new door, and a fence that will shelter neighbors on Leatherstocking from cars entering and exiting the parking lot. “My goal is to really start streamling these projects,” Mayor Jeff Katz told the Village Board at the Monday meeting.
