6/6/21
Due to the pandemic, Art by the Lake was held virtually in 2020 and it was anticipated to remain virtual this season. The decision to return to an in-person event was prompted by the recent easing of state guidelines pertaining to outdoor functions. The event will revert to a virtual event if future conditions and guidelines demand. Safety for our staff and visitors is our highest priority. Fenimore will continue to follow and enforce established COVID-19 protocols for masking and social distancing as required by New York State.

Middleburgh woman charged with falsely reporting a crime
Troopers stationed at SP Cobleskill arrested a Middleburgh woman for Falsely Reporting an Incident 3rd degree (class A Misdemeanor) following an investigation into an alleged menacing complaint.
Tara A. Goss, age 47, was arrested following an investigation into a report in late February she was menaced by a man with a gun. Investigation into the incident revealed the menacing was a false claim which never occurred but was reported to police.
Troopers charged Goss with Falsely Reporting an Incident 3rd and issued her an appearance ticket returnable in Middleburgh Town Court on June 9, 2021.
Local State Police Arrest Virginia Fugitive
New York State Troopers stationed in Cobleskill take a fugitive from Virginia into custody following a traffic stop in the town of Schoharie.
Robert H. Hicks Jr., age 31, was located by Troopers operating an unregistered vehicle on State Route 7 near Central Bridge yesterday evening. During the traffic stop, it was discovered that Hicks is wanted in the Commonwealth of Virginia for felony offenses of Obtaining Money by False Pretense over $500; Contractor Operating without a License; and Destruction of Property over $1000.
Hicks was charged with Bail Jumping 2nd degree (E Felony) and being an out-of-state Fugitive from Justice. He was arraigned in the town of Schoharie Court where he was remanded to the Schoharie County Jail with no bail.
Man Arrests First Responders after DWI Crash
On June 2, 2021, the New York State Police in Cobleskill arrested 37-year-old Liam M. O’Connor of Richmondville, for Assault 2nd degree (D felony), Driving While Intoxicated (misdemeanor), Obstruction of Governmental Administration 2nd degree (A misdemeanor), and Resisting Arrest (A misdemeanor).
At approximately 8:46 p.m. on Wednesday, state police responded to a one-car motor vehicle accident at the intersection of State Route 165 and State Route 10 in the town of Seward. On scene investigation determined that O’Connor had been traveling east on State Route 165 in 2007 Nissan Pathfinder, when he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of State Route 10 and collided with a guiderail on the eastern shoulder. His vehicle then continued into a pasture where he struck a livestock fence. Speed is believed to have been a factor in the crash.
While speaking with O’Connor, the responding Trooper could smell the odor of alcohol on his breath and observed signs of impairment. While being treated by EMS, O’Connor became combative and is accused of attacking members of the EMS and fire crew that had arrived to assist him. O’Connor violently resisted arrest and attempted to kick a Schoharie County Sheriff’s Deputy and firefighters when they assisted in putting O’Connor in a patrol car for transport to SP Cobleskill.
Once at the station, O’Connor was administered the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which he failed. He provided a breath sample of .14% B.A.C.
O’Connor was arraigned in Seward Town Court and remanded to Schoharie County Jail. He is due back in court on a later date.

WIC Provides Fruits and Vegetables
Written By Editor on 6/2/21 | 6/2/21
When the WIC program is mentioned, many people automatically think formula and milk. Did you know the WIC foods offered are much more diverse? In addition to formula and milk, WIC offers infant foods, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and much more. WIC has two exciting opportunities in regards to fruits and vegetables this summer.
First, the Farmers Market Nutrition Program has begun for 2021. From now through September, each eligible WIC participant can receive twenty dollars in coupons to use at local farmers markets and farm stands. It’s a wonderful chance to buy farm fresh, locally grown produce and support local businesses at the same time. A list of participating farms will be provided when you pick up the coupons, and you will have until the end of November to redeem the coupons.
Second, starting this month, WIC is also offering a temporary increase in the cash value benefit for fruits and vegetables. What was $9 for children and $11 for women will now be temporarily increased to $35. This benefit offers WIC participants a chance to buy a larger amount of fresh, frozen or canned produce from the grocery store.
These 2 benefits are only for eligible WIC participants. WIC is currently offering telephone appointments. For more information, please call Catholic Charities of Columbia and Greene Counties WIC program. For the Hudson office, the phone number is 518-828-9668.

Book Room Open at Landis
It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is stuffed with a trove of great reads - everything from books on gardening and nature topics to novels and biographies. We're lucky that our community thinks of us when it's time to thin their bookshelves, and that they are discerning readers who take good care of their books. The result is a wonderful selection.
We've often been asked about opening the Book Room when we are not having a plant sale, so we've gathered some of our intrepid volunteers who will open the door on second Saturdays from June through September (and possibly October, depending on weather). We'll be open from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on June 12, July 10, August 14, September 11, and possibly October 9. Sales are by donation, with cash or checks accepted.

Modular Construction Might Save Time and Money
Written By Editor on 5/26/21 | 5/26/21
Howard Kipnes, president of Cedar Knolls, a custom homebuilder located in Ronkonkoma, explains that his company specializes in modular homes on the East End. These, he says, can be built faster – typically in half the time of traditional construction – with superior, consistent quality control inside a factory. They exceed energy efficiency standards and most are priced less than stick-built homes.
“There’s little that we can’t do in modular today,” he says. “We’re doing more custom work. Features such as screened-in patios, second floor decks and balconies and smart home integration are becoming more common. With the coronavirus, more people have relocated out east. We are designing more private spaces, home offices, bedrooms with ensuite baths and children’s play and study areas.”
Great rooms and other large open gathering spaces were better suited to weekenders, Kipnes says, but people staying for extended periods want more individual space.
“We do complete turnkey construction – including architectural plans and permit expediting,” he says. “Buyers a year ago wanted something immediately, but now that they’re more committed to staying out here full time they’re willing to wait for a new custom home. We can build any features available into the house: the latest green features, smart home wiring and automation. Cameras, Wi-Fi-enabled locks and other security devices are very popular.” Every home Kipnes builds is a custom job – clients don’t have to pick a particular model.
Many favor two-story homes. Modern farmhouse designs are particularly popular now. His homes typically range from 1,000 to more than 4,000 square feet. More land is currently available on the North Fork and in the town of East Hampton, he adds.

Master Gardeners Ready Saturday, May 29, for Gardeners
Written By Editor on 5/25/21 | 5/25/21
The annual Master Gardeners of Otsego County plant sale returns this year on Saturday, May 29th, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. following the pandemic hiatus last year. The sale will showcase familiar and many hard-to-find varieties and species difficult to find elsewhere. The sale will be held at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Education Center, 123 Lake Street, Cooperstown.
Do you enjoy vine-ripe, homegrown tomatoes picked at their peak with rich flavors and sweetness? This year, 35 tomato transplant varieties are offered, many classified as heirlooms and others designated as All-America Selections. Seven varieties of dwarf tomato plants, including Fred's Tie Dye, Artic Rose, and Tastywine are also offered for small gardens. Master Gardener volunteers will be present to answer your questions on tomato variety and other plant selections.
Peppers from sweet to hot, including Mad Hatter with its small hat-shaped peppers with a hint of heat, Sugar Rush, and Cornito Giallo will be featured along with seven other varieties. A dozen vegetable choices from beets to cucumbers, to Swiss chard, are available.
In addition, 110 choices of annuals and perennials flowering plants—some of which are deer resistant--and more than 25 varieties of herbs, such as Spicy Bush basil with small leaves not requiring further kitchen preparation, will be attention-getters.
The sale proceeds support outreach to local residents by volunteer Master Gardeners, including the telephone help-line, educational programs, the GROW program for community-based projects utilizing the skills of Master Gardeners, and the redevelopment of educational gardens and improved infrastructure at the Lake Street Cooperative Extension headquarters.
While pandemic guidelines are being eased, CCE asks all visitors to use masks and maintain social distancing. Hand sanitizer will be provided. Please bring boxes to carry your purchases home.
Master Gardener Volunteers serve as a link between residents and the nation’s cooperative extension system, an outreach of land grant universities.

C-GCC, Olana Announce Partnership
Saved in 1966 by a visionary coalition of private individuals and New York State government, Olana State Historic Site opened to the public in 1967. The act of preservation that established Olana also set aside land for the creation of Columbia-Greene Community College (C-GCC), a campus of the State University of New York, establishing a historic tie that binds the two New York State institutions.
As a public site, Olana is thrilled to partner with neighboring C-GCC to provide workforce development opportunities for students enrolled in C-GCC’s business, art, and environmental science classes and those interested in gaining work experience related to their course of study at a vital cultural and historic institution. “Olana State Historic Site is excited to partner with Columbia-Greene Community College and The Olana Partnership to establish this collaborative internship and work development program”, said Amy Hausmann, Director, Olana State Historic Site. “As a New York State Historic Site, Olana is dedicated to strengthening partnerships and expanding accessibility for members of our local community and we are particularly gratified to partner with our closest neighbor to provide this rich educational opportunity.”
A new collaborative three-semester program beginning in Fall 2021 will provide an opportunity for Olana State Historic Site to connect and collaborate with C-GCC faculty and students throughout the academic year. As part of this program, Olana State Historic Site and its nonprofit affiliate, The Olana Partnership (TOP), will work collaboratively with C-GCC faculty to provide an opportunity for year-long engagement that culminates in a series of workforce and internship opportunities to serve Olana’s local audience of adults attending college and those seeking career development opportunities. "As neighbors with shared origins and educational goals, Olana and Columbia-Greene Community College are natural partners,” said Dr. Sean Sawyer, Washburn & Susan Oberwager President of The Olana Partnership, “and The Olana Partnership is thrilled to partner in this initiative that will enable students of all ages and backgrounds to use Olana as a launchpad to connect their academic work with work experience and career growth.”
Dr. Carlee Drummer, President of Columbia-Greene Community College, stated, “The College extends deep gratitude to the Olana State Historic Site and The Olana Partnership for their role in making this multifaceted collaboration possible. This partnership is the first of its kind in the State – and possibly the nation! – to offer students an array of learning and career opportunities intersecting the arts, business, environmental studies, marketing, and management of a non-profit arts-based organization.”
Students enrolled in C-GCC’s business, art, and environmental sciences classes will be invited to engage with Olana year-round through class visits with Olana staff during the fall semester, a corresponding honors project during the spring, and paid internship and/or employment experience in the summer. Through this tiered internship and work development program, students will be given the opportunity to engage with Olana over the course of a full academic year and sustain engagement with the site through their specific course of study.
These opportunities for year-long engagement will be available for all C-GCC majors with a particular emphasis on business, environmental studies, and fine arts. Students with an interest in local tours and heritage, retail sales, marketing, landscape management, the arts and/or non-profit work are preferred. Participation in the Spring and Summer 2022 portions of the internship will be based on recommendation from participating faculty. Students will be required to apply for the Summer 2022 internship through the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation application portal.
During the fall semester, students enrolled in Foundations of Business, Intro to Environmental Sciences, Accounting 101, and Visual Arts 2D classes will engage with Olana Staff through 1-2 staff-led informational sessions and/or class visits to Olana. The goal of the fall semester is for students to become acquainted with Olana, learn more about the history and goals of the site, and to connect with Olana staff. During the spring, students enrolled in key classes will be invited to engage in an honors project connecting their coursework with a deeper understanding of Olana and its operation as a public park and historic site focused on preservation, education, interpretation, and engagement.
In the summer of 2022, students will be invited by C-GCC staff to apply for summer internship and work opportunities on site at Olana. Two to three paid project-based internships will be made available to C-GCC students for the summer semester in which participating interns will engage in specific projects, working collaboratively across the organization to complete their internship project/task. Each internship will be eligible for C-GCC credit corresponding with student’s line of study and will receive a stipend from The Olana Partnership. In addition to these select internship spots, paid seasonal employment opportunities at the Olana Museum Store and within the Visitor Engagement and Interpretation department will be shared with C-GCC community and students will be encouraged to apply.

Greene County Legislature Approves 12-13 Year Old Hunters
Written By Editor on 5/24/21 | 5/24/21
The Greene County Legislature unanimously adapted Local Law 1 of 2021, which permits 12- and 13-year-olds to hunt deer with a firearm or crossbow. This legislation was part of the NYS 2021-2022 budget, with each county given the option of opting into the law or not. After holding a public hearing that drew no comment, Greene County opted in on May 19th.
Under this new law, the hunter must be licensed and under the supervision of a licensed adult. The law also requires that both the youth and the adult hunters must wear fluorescent orange or pink clothing and remain at ground level while hunting deer. Many members of the Greene County community feel that this new law will not only work, but help youths learn responsibility and respect for the outdoors.
Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger of New Baltimore said he is a longtime hunter and has two children who hunt as well. “When you start kids young and train them on how to be safe, they carry that with them” he said, adding “In addition, when you are out hunting, you are out in nature and learn how to take care of things.”
John Moreton, the district deputy for the Knights of Columbus, understands that youngsters with weapons can be dangerous if they’re not trained, but also believes that the right programs can help ensure their hunting is done safely. “It’s ok with supervision…it must be supervised and they have to learn how to use the weapons before they go out to hunt,” he said.
Prior to this new legislation being passed back in April, New York was the only state to not allow 12- and 13-year-olds to hunt big game with firearms. Now, with proper training and supervision, they finally can.
