The Old Badger: Automobiles led to the last of the Mohican

Editor’s note: This column was first published March 31, 1976.

In the summer of ’32, Mrs. Charles Coleman Jr. was running strong in the Cooperstown merchants popularity election, President Herbert Hoover was running scared against Franklin D. Roosevelt and the 27-year-old Mohican was running out of steam.

When the Mohican was first launched, automobiles were scarce and unreliable novelties at best. Roads were dusty or muddy depending upon the weather. The stage from Fort Plain off-loaded at Springfield Landing and passengers could continue to Cooperstown by boat . The many hotels in the village filled with tourists each summer, cottages and camps were springing up on both sides of the Lake. An excursion around the Lake was a much sought-after diversion, and moonlight cruises were long remembered. Many a night saw the lights of the Mohican shimmering on the Glimmerglass and heard the strains of music and laughter floating to shore as a birthday or even a “hole-in-one” was celebrated.

The Mohican steamed right on through the ’20s, a delightful convenience, but it was beginning to age when the ’30s arrived. Wall Street was emptying the hotels, but Detroit was filling the roads.

In July of ’32, the Otesaga didn’t open, and the Mohican was facing increasing losses in the face of motor car competition. The Mohican also leaked. When it leaked too fast, manure and straw were thrown in the lake around it to get sucked into the large cracks; the pump could handle the rest. On alternate years it was hauled out, patched and left to stand in its cradle at the foot of Fair Street. The Lakefront Motel was not there. Andrews boat livery and Fish’s landing were -unpainted and ramshackled. The lighthouse wasn’t there. There was no…

Woman charged with delivering prescription drugs to SCI-Dallas officer

NANTICOKE — State police at Wilkes-Barre charged a Nanticoke woman with delivering controlled substances to a correctional officer who collapsed while working at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas, Jackson Township, last year.

Nicole Megan Hagenbach, 33, of East Noble Street, delivered Percocet and Adderall pills to Robert Bath at the main gate at SCI-Dallas on July 24, 2020, according to court records.

Bath collapsed while working at the prison about one hour after meeting with Hagenbach, court records say.

Bath was found dead inside his residence on July 27, 2020, with evidence of drug use near his body.

State police allege surveillance cameras recorded Hagenbach meeting with Bath, including bank documents showing Bath had transferred more than $20,790 to Hagenbach from Jan. 1 to July 26, 2020.

Investigators also uncovered text messages between Hagenbach and Bath that referred to the delivery of prescription pills.

According to the criminal complaint:

Hagenbach and her infant daughter were observed meeting with Bath at the prison’s front gate at about 5:30 p.m. July 24, 2020. Bath was employed as a sergeant at the prison.

About 70 minutes after Hagenbach left, Bath collapsed while working and was transported to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center where he was given NARCAN. When Bath regained consciousness, he refused further treatment and was given a ride home by a co-worker.

Bath failed to show up for work from July 25 to July 27. A prison lieutenant and a deputy warden went to Bath’s residence finding him dead on July 27.

Investigators say they found a mirror with a white powdery substance, a red straw, bags with white residue, a drug pipe and two Oxycontin pills in…

MEDFORD – With a potent lineup that generated plenty of offensive fireworks, the Vineland High School softball team has the ability to put on a show.

Lenape’s Maya Knasiak proved to be the show stopper.

Making her first postseason start, the sophomore right-hander fired a three-hitter with 12 strikeouts, guiding Lenape to its first postseason win in over a decade with a 4-1 triumph over Vineland on Tuesday.

Seventh-seeded Lenape (14-6), which had lost its previous four playoff games by a combined five runs, will travel to second-seeded Jackson Memorial for Friday’s quarterfinal game.

Going up against a Vineland buzzsaw that averaged a tick under 10 runs per game this season, Knasiak took the fight right out of the Fighting Clan, limiting them to three singles and only one baserunner to advance past second base.

“Maya was outstanding,” Lenape head coach Eric Krastek said. “She’s been very consistent all season. She really hasn’t had a bad outing. We’ve lost six games and we’ve scored a total of two runs in those games. We’re never out of a game with Maya in the circle. She’s that dominant.”

Knasiak’s batterymate couldn’t agree more.

“Maya is just a lights-out pitcher,” said sophomore…

Here’s what you need to know about Connecticut casinos as the state rolls back restrictions

Foxwoods is maintaining its cautious approach, while Mohegan Sun is no longer requiring fully-vaccinated guests and team members to wear masks on the reservation.

MONTVILLE, Conn. —

Most of Connecticut’s COVID-19 mandates were lifted Wednesday, allowing the state to regain a sense of normalcy.

  • There will be no more capacity limits for businesses
  • People who are fully vaccinated will not be required to wear masks inside

However, things may look a little different for people exploring the state’s casinos.

Here’s what guests can expect:

The Mashantucket Pequot tribe, maintaining its cautious approach, says face masks will still be required throughout the property.

Social distancing on the property is being scaled down from six feet to three feet, while continuous cleaning of high-touch areas will remain.

Additionally, Foxwoods plans on cautiously easing some of its other COVID-19 protocols, including capacity restrictions.

“The strategic rollback plan for our COVID-19 measures is highly calculated and thoughtfully timed to ensure we do this right and keep our resort safe,” Foxwoods President and CEO, Jason Guyot said. “With the exception of face masks, all protocols will be lifted by or before May 19, aligning with Connecticut’s plans. We will closely monitor our approach but are ready to introduce a safe and more relaxed ‘next to normal’ environment for our guests and team members ahead of summer.”

Mohegan sun announced fully-vaccinated guests and team members are no longer required to wear a mask while on the reservation.

The resort and casino will continue temperature checks, but they will be monitored remotely at entrances to the property.

Mohegan Sun is also bringing back more live entertainment to the arena.

Officials say will return July 18, with many shows scheduled through the end of the year.

“We have been preparing for this day for a long time and we…

Biden signs bill to combat hate crimes against Asian Americans

Washington — President Biden on Thursday signed legislation that aims to combat the spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic. Mr. Biden, with Vice President Kamala Harris at his side, who is the first Asian American vice president, emphasized the bipartisan nature of the measure, and insisted that hate can have no more place in America. 

“I mean this from the bottom of my heart: hate can be given no safe harbor in America,” Mr. Biden said ahead of signing the legislation into law. “… Every time we’re silent, every time we let hate flourish, we make a lie of who we are as a nation. I mean it literally. We cannot let the very foundation of this country continue to be eaten away like it has been in other moments in our history and happening again.” 

The measure, spearheaded by Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Congresswoman Grace Meng of New York, was approved by the House on Tuesday by a vote of 364 to 62 after passing the Senate 94 to 1 last month. When Mr. Biden and Harris took the stage at the White House, the East Room erupted in applause.

“Let me start by saying to all of the leaders here, thank you. Thank you,” Harris told the room. “To the members of our United States Congress on both sides of the aisle who helped pass the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, thank you. … Because of you, history will remember this day and this moment, when our nation took action to combat hate.” 

Called the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, the bill aims to expand the federal government’s efforts to address the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans, including by directing the Justice Department to speed up the review of hate-crime incidents and…

White House releases $1B in grants to fund broadband in Tribal Nations

Vice President Kamala Harris announced Thursday that the White House is making available $1 billion in funding for Tribal Nations to fortify their broadband infrastructure. 

What You Need To Know

  • The White House on Thursday released $1 billion to fund broadband-fortifying projects for Tribal Nations

  • The funds were included in the $900 billion COVID-19 relief package enacted in late December of last year

  • Vice President Kamala Harris said the investment is only a “down payment” for rebuilding broadband services

  • Harris also called on Congress to pass the American Jobs Plan, which includes a planned $100 billion investment in broadband

The funds were included in the $900 billion COVID-19 relief package enacted in late December of last year, and indigenous communities can now apply for specific grants to cover various broadband-related projects. 

Harris was joined by Shannon Holsey, president of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians in Wisconsin and treasurer for the National Congress of American Indians, for Thursday’s announcement. Commerce secretary Gina Raimondo and Interior secretary Deb Haaland, herself a member of the Pueblo of Laguna in New Mexico, also joined the event. 

Holsey spoke first, touching on the “widespread patches of absolutely no connectivity” to broadband across many indigenous communities, saying the lack of access “creates even more vulnerability.” 

“Expanding broadband access would transform native communities, promote economic development, and empower Tribal Nation governments to provide critical services, including health care, education, public safety and emergency services,” Holsey said.  

Harris agreed, saying access to broadband is critical as it is “fundamentally how we create good jobs and economic opportunity.”

The grants can be used for projects ranging from laying down fiber optic cables, digital literacy programs, distance learning, broadband adoption activities and more. 

Still, Harris stressed that both the funds released Thursday —…

SCI-A woman who delivered a prescription drug to a Dallas police officer was charged

Nanticoke — Wilkes-Barre state police charged a Nanticoke woman last year for delivering controlled drugs to a fallen correctional officer while working at a state correctional facility in Dallas, Jackson Township.

On July 24, 2020, Nicole Megan Hagenbach, 33, on East Noble Street, delivered Percoset and Adderall tablets to Robert Bus at the front gate of SCI Dallas, according to court records.

According to court records, Bath collapsed while working in prison about an hour after meeting Hagenbach.

The bus was found dead in his home on July 27, 2020, and evidence of substance use was found near his body.

State police held talks between Hagenbach and Bath, including bank documents showing that Mr. Bath had sent more than $ 20,790 to Hagenbach between January 1 and July 26, 2020. It claims to have been recorded by a surveillance camera.

Investigators also found a text message between Hagenbach and Bath referring to the delivery of prescription drugs.

According to criminal charges

Hagenbach and her little daughter were witnessed meeting Bath at the front gate of the prison around 5:30 pm on July 24, 2020. Bath was employed as a prison sergeant.

Approximately 70 minutes after Hagenbach left, the bar collapsed at work and was taken to the Gaisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, where he was prescribed NARCAN. When Bath regained consciousness, he refused further treatment and had a colleague drive home.

From July 25th to 27th, Bath did not go to work. On July 27, a prison lieutenant and deputy guard went to Bath’s mansion and found Bath dead.

The Latest: Blues get players back after COVID test errors

The Latest on the effects of the coronavirus outbreak on sports around the world:

___

Several St. Louis Blues players who returned positive COVID-19 tests have been cleared to play in Game 2 on Wednesday night against Colorado after the results from a lab were investigated with follow-up tests coming back negative.

The Blues players involved were put into isolation as a precaution before being cleared. There were also positive tests involving Vegas Golden Knights players, who also were cleared.

The league said the reported results emanated from the same laboratory, and an investigation was initiated into the possibility that the initial test results reported might have been in error. All affected players were immediately isolated and further testing was done. Those tests returned uniformly negative results, which confirmed that the initial reported test results were wrong.

Blues wingers Vladimir Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz and goaltender Jordan Binnington were not on the ice with the rest of the team for the pregame skate early Wednesday. The Blues currently have leading scorer David Perron and two other players on the COVID protocol list.

South Carolina is opening to full capacity at Williams-Brice Stadium next football season.

The school’s athletic department says it plans for 100% capacity in the fall, including traditional tailgating in areas around the 77,559-seat facility. Masks will not be required for entrance going forward.

The school limited attendance last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic to about 20,000 fans per game. Masks and social distancing were required for entrance. But athletic director Ray Tanner says those attending football games next season can “enjoy all of the game day traditions as in previous years.”

South Carolina opens the season Sept. 4 against Eastern Illinois.
