‘Queen Of Catskills’ Revives

1/22/10

Stamford’s Multiple Projects
Bode Well For Future

By JIM KEVLIN

STAMFORD
In our nation’s early days, teamsters driving ox-drawn wagons up the old Catskill Turnpike from the Hudson to Unadilla and points west would stop at a tavern in Stamford, which soon was renting rooms and developed into the Delaware House.
In 1825, the Erie Canal dried that up.
Crews of Irish immigrants built the Ulster & Delaware – “The Ugly & Dirty,” local folks used to call it – arriving in Stamford in 1872 and stopping there. The heyday of Stamford’s grand hotels – 20 in all – followed.
In 1900, crews of Italians (a generation later, the latest immigrant group) finished the railroad to Oneonta, the beginning of the end of that grand period.
After Route 23 was completed fro

m the Hudson River to Norwich, everyone driving from New York City to Oneonta came through Stamford.
In 1985, I-88’s completion from Port Dickinson to Schenectady ended that.
Yes, Stamford’s prosperity has waxed and waned with transportation innovations, so community leaders are charting a future where the destination’s intrinsic qualities will matter most.
“‘The Good Life Starts Here’ is the brand now; but it’s too general,” said Velga Kundzins-Tan, Western Catskills Community Revitalization Council community resource manager. It has offices on Main Street next to the Grand Union.
She and Linda Stratigos, Western Catskills executive director, see Stamford’s outdoors offering – fishing, hiking, hang-gliding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling – and its arts community – the numerous galleries and musical offerings – as powerful economic-development magnets.
A half-dozen years ago, Kundzins-Tan was involved in Don Dales, repositioning

of nearby Hobart as “The Book Village of the Catskills

” – the New York Times wrote about it, and the idea took off, so there’s a model of successful branding right in the neighborhood.
Driving into Stamford, you see surface indications that the village is suffering from the same maladies as similar Upstate towns. But scratch the surface, and you soon discover wellsprings of enthusiasm and enterprise that are being marshalled on a range of economic-development fronts.
Bill Hauser, Stamford Central school board president, calls people around here “resilient.” But, judging from plans on the drawing board, it’s more than that. To wit:
• Covidien’s Hobart plant, former Tyco, former Mallinckrodt, former D.M. Graham Laboratories (which Doc Graham started in his garage in the 1960s), is expanding its local workforce to 800 employees, and is building the largest medical vault in the world.
• The venerable Delaware House on Stamford’s Main Street – the Delaware Inn for the past century – is in the midst of a $2 million redo into a mini-convention center, to be completed by fall, under the auspices of the Catskill Watershed Corp.
• Robinson Terrace, a nursing home, will begin construction of a $9.5 million adult home/assisted-living facility in the spring at county Route 18 and Buntine Road, according to Pam Harmon, administrator. Funded 100 percent through a competitive HEAL-NY state grant, the building will include 30 rooms and studio apartments for residents, and 30 rooms for people who needed a higher level of care. It will also create 40-50 “brand new jobs,” Harmon said.
• A half-dozen Main Street buildings will be renovated in Stamford this summer, and another half-dozen in Hobart, paid for with $3.5 million from the state’s Main Street and Restore New York programs, according to Stratigos. The centerpiece in Hobart is the former Delaware Valley Propane building, which will house Liberty Rock Books, expanded to 85,000 volumes.
Book Village founder Dales believes this will push an already successful marketing effort to “critical mass. Our only limiting factor is the number of buildings that are available.”
• A meat-processing plant for organically grown cattle is being proposed by Bill Eckland, owner of Eckland Farm Machinery. The family has been part of the local business scene for generations.
• And the former Scotch Valley Ski Resort, an economic mainstay – and quality-of-life enhancement – before it closed 10 years ago, has been purchased by Oorah, a New Jersey-based philanthropy, with plans to reopen it and the adjoining 48-condo community, Deer Run Village.
The state Power Authority’s Blenheim-Gilboa Pump Storage Plant and the colleges at Oneonta also contribute to a stable employment base; Bassett has a clinic, and two-county ONC BOCES’ headquarters is in the former Rexmere Hotel. Then there’s tourism and the second-home sector – 50 percent of the property around Stamford is owned by part-time residents.
Stratigos, Kundzins-Tan and Dales are just a sampling of a varied and enthusiastic leadership corps that is moving all these efforts forward.
Stamford has an energetic village mayor, Mike Jacobs, the hard-driving defense lawyer. The description is literal, too: He races sports cars at Watkins Glen, Lime Rock and across the nation, and has dabbled in NASCAR as well.
His counterpart in the town, Supervisor Mike Triolo, a retired banker, is economic development director for the Catskill Watershed Corp., which since a 1998 compact between New York City and its reservoir-watershed communities is committed to providing economic-development funds and assistance.
In addition to Western Catskill and Catskill Watershed, two well-watered foundations – Robinson Broadhurst ($40 million in assets) and the O’Connor ($60 million) – are looking out for the community good.
On Oct. 6, for instance, Robinson Broadhurt hosted a luncheon at Fred’s – owner Larry Johnston recently completed its renovation – for 60-some community leaders to launch a strategic-planning effort, facilitated by Andrew Marietta, director of Oneonta-based Council for Community Non-Profits.
The result, Marietta reported: a 30-member steering committee and a list of community priorities to pursue.
Robinson Broadhurst’s chairman Lad McKenzie said the steering committee will meet in April to decide on a first project that will yield concrete results.
There’s a lot going on in Stamford, McKenzie said. “The main reason (for the luncheon),” he said, “was to get organizations together, and try to work together rather than everybody off doing their own thing.”
The best, it seems, may be yet to come.

Indian Princess Paid Ultimate Sacrifice For Love ... Or Did She?

Town Historian Anne Willis Subjects
Beloved Stamford Yarns To Scrutiny

By JIM KEVLIN

STAMFORD

OK, here’s the story. (Or one of them.)

Princess Utsayantha fell in love with a young white settler and, before long, she was with child.
Her furious father tomahawked the baby. In grief, the mother drowned herself in the lake near the mountain that both bear her name today.
Anne Willis, repository of town history, is skeptical.
The story of an Indian princess falling in love with a young colonial – ala Pocahontas and John Smith – and coming to grief appears again and again, Jungian like, in early American settings.
No doubt it reflects an underlying reality – young men and young women, whatever their cultures, do tend to connect (even today). But beyond that, who knows?
Here are some stories that Anne Willis will repeat with more confidence:
• When the British burned Kingston in 1777, a patroon made land available in the Catskills to the burned-out townspeople, and they became Stamford’s original settlers. For decades, Chisolm-Trail-like, farmers would drive cattle, sheep and even turkeys to the Hudson for shipment by boat to New York City.
• Stamford’s famous sons include Ned Buntline, an adventurer and journalist who’s credited as inventor of the dime novel, churning out such wildly popular best-sellers as “Buffalo Bill Cody: King of the Border Men”
• During the hey-day of Stamford’s 20 grand hotels, Buster Crabbe and Johnny Weismuller, former Olympians and future movie Tarzans, were swimming instructors at pool the grand Rexmere Hotel (now BOCES’ Frank Cyr Educational Center).
• In 1870, blasting for a quarry (or a flash flood, depending on the version) in Gilboa, just over the Delaware-Schoharie line, uncovered a petrified forest. In the 1920s, when construction began on the Gilboa Dam that created the Schoharie Reservoir, more of the stone trees – of the fern-like genus Wattieza – were found.
Describing Miss Willis as a repository is hardly an exaggeration. Her mother, Daisy DeSilva, nee Willis, nee Rogers, worked for decades at the old Stamford Mirror-Recorder.
Anne’s mom was very thorough. In those days before computerized databases, she clipped the weekly newspaper and created scrapbooks, one a year, complete with index. She then condensed the scrapbooks into bound notebooks. She did this for 50 years.
(The newspaper’s publisher, Leo DeSilva, must have been impressed: He married Daisy in 1950.)
The daughter, who inherited the scrapbooks, notebooks and the job of village historian when her mother passed away in 1980, still has them neatly stacked in the office of her Beaver Street home.
Anne Willis was born in Roxbury, but moved when she was 3 years old – her parents separated; her father was a Methodist minister/photographer – into her great-uncle and -aunt’s home with her mother , two brothers and sister Margaret.
The dubious story of Princess Utsayantha brought another to mind: “The Talking Cats of South Gilboa.”
On returning home from “Spook Woods” one evening, a member of the pioneer Mann family reported seeing two male cats dragging along a third cat between them. The cats chased him to the edge of the woods and, as he looked back, one of the cats called out: “Tell Molly Meyers she can come home now, because Jed Hawkins is dead.”
Later, Anne Willis discovered a similar story in a book of Irish folktales.

Things To Do In Stamford? Plenty. Read On

By LAURA COX

STAMFORD
If you haven’t been to Stamford, you’re missing some fun.

This village of just 1,200 people offers fine dining, culture and a lot of ways to enjoy the great outdoors.
What’s the main attraction? Here’s a sampling.
•
People will tell you about endless trails – or at least 30-miles’ worth – to walk, ride, hike and snowmobile. Once known as “Queen of the Catskills,” Stamford has long been a destination for mountain views.
A village park on Mount Utsayantha has recently been redone, complete with picnic tables and a composting toilet. The other afternoon, chilly though it was, hang-gliders were heading off into the wild blue yonder.
•
For a warming espresso when you get back to town, try The Kaaterskill House, at 18 River St., which opened in October 2008. And paninis, bagels or cinnamon raisin toast.

One of owner/operators Aree and Sally Brays’ specialties: Kaat Mocha.
•
Hungry or thirsty after a day on the trails? Stop in at Fred’s. This restaurant offers an upscale dining experience at affordable prices. Currently owned by Larry Johnston – he owns a restaurant by the same name in New York City – the executive chef Fred Bhend and local boy/sous chef Jesse Temple will soon be buying the venture which opened in December 2007. Both chefs joined the restaurant in its developing stages, helped to build the place and have personally developed the ever changing seasonal menu. They strive to use local produce when available as well as other local ingredients and they make everything from scratch.
Their bar top is reason enough to stop by and check the place out; it is made up of 11,230 pennies laid end to end. To make reservations or for information call 652-2265.
•
Stamford offers two art galleries owned by artist Timothy Touhey. The Gallery and The Gallery East feature medium-scale oil paintings, sculptures in marble/bronze, oil pastels, and limited edition prints.
In addition to Touhey’s art, the Gallery offers monthly open mic nights the second Saturday of each month, a monthly Yoga Trace Dance, and monthly drum circles. The back of The Gallery is set up to seat 50 people and it has a P.A. system, a grand piano and congas.
Touhey invites people to stop by anytime and offer a spontaneous concert in The Gallery if they feel so inclined. The next open mic night will be at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13. For information contact Touhey at 607-652-4030. The gallery is open 4-7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 12-6 p.m. Saturdays, and 12-5 p.m. on Sundays, or by appointment.
