ACCESS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

ACCESS Federal Credit Union was organized and founded in 1947 to provide financial services to the employees of Oneida Ltd. Silversmiths, the world’s largest manufacturer of stainless steel tableware. In 2000, we became a community Credit Union allowing us to serve everyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Oneida County or the City of Oneida.

Thomas L. Owens, President and CEO, a Clinton native, always hoped to expand services into his hometown. In April 2002, we opened an office in the (former) Jolly Butcher grocery store and occupied just half of the building located at 6 Franklin Ave. We initially shared the space with a bagel shop, and later, the restaurant Café DuMondé. In June of 2005, the relocation of our executive office from Sherrill, NY to the newly renovated Clinton location took place. Our Clinton office is now the home of our IT, Commercial Loan, Consumer Loan, and Collection Departments.

We currently serve our members from six locations: Clinton, Oneida, Sherrill, Camden, Rome, and Waterville, which opened in November 2007 at 110 E Main Street.

ACCESS Federal Credit Union: We will strive to exceed our members’ expectations!

ALTERI’S RESTAURANT

On Valentine’s Day 1953, John and Laura Alteri opened the doors to a family restaurant located on College Street in Clinton, New York. Thereafter it was known as Alteri’s Restaurant.

DANE AND KATHLEEN AUSTIN

THE BURNS AGENCY

O. Gregory Burns, my grandfather, established our Agency in 1919. He was an attorney, who through the laws of the time was able to sell insurance and real estate as well as practice law.

Nicholas K. Burns, my father, entered the business in 1948. While in an apprenticeship to become an attorney, he acquired his real estate and insurance licenses. He found insurance and real estate more to his liking, so he pursued both diligently. In the late 1960s, he chose to focus entirely on insurance. In 1977 my brother Nick Jr. and I entered the Burns Agency. We continued as employees of my father until his death in July 1983.

In August of 1983, Nick Jr. and I set up a new corporation, N.K. Burns & Sons, Inc. DBA The Burns Agency so that new business could be written. We purchased my father’s business and incorporated it into our own in November 1984. In February 1998, my brother left the insurance business to follow his dream of being a publisher.

The Burns Agency looks forward to its 90th anniversary in 2009.

Over the years, the club has staged numerous events at many different venues: flower shows, garden tours, bus trips and lectures. The club hosted a flower show school, which began in 1986, and attracts prospective judges from all over New York State and beyond! Many of these efforts have been and are in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, the Kirkland Art Center and other local groups.

Currently, the club’s projects include Garden Therapy at the Lutheran Home, provision of a DEC student scholarship, an environmental scholarship at Clinton High School and more.

CLINTON SHOE CENTER

Clinton Shoe Center has been part of the sole of the village since 1950 when it was first opened on North Park Row by M.A.Vona. In 1953 it moved to South Park Row, and then in 1971, Jack Lane bought the business and moved it back to North Park Row. In 1988 Jack purchased the 16 West Park Row building and relocated the business in its present location.

Built around 1850, the building became the home of the Scollard Opera House.

In those days, people used to go to the restaurant for dinner (now the bookstore) and walk (indoors) over the alley to the Opera House for plays and movies. In the 1930s the stage area was home to Garvey Movies and The Circle Theatre. In the 50s and 60s the building housed the Victory Grocery Store and the IGA store. In 1985 Jack Lane remodeled the second floor into apartments and the first floor has the China Sea restaurant and the Clinton Shoe Center today.

HAMILTON COLLEGE

Originally founded in 1793 as the Hamilton-Oneida Academy and rechartered in 1812 as the third oldest college in New York State, Hamilton occupies a 1,300-acre hilltop campus about 1.5 miles west of the Clinton Village Green.

The College provides its 1,775 students with an environment where they can find their voice. As a national leader for teaching students to write effectively, learn from each other and think for themselves, Hamilton produces graduates who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to make their own voices heard on issues of importance to them and their communities.

A key component of the Hamilton experience is the College’s open, yet rigorous liberal arts curriculum. In place of distribution requirements that are common at most colleges, Hamilton students are free to choose courses that reflect their unique interests and plans. Faculty advisors help students plan a coherent and highly individualized academic program — in fact, close student-faculty relationships at Hamilton are a distinguishing characteristic of the College — but ultimately students at Hamilton take responsibility for their own future.

Part of that future includes a lifelong relationship with the College. Hamilton alumni are exceptionally loyal and passionate supporters of their alma mater.

PINNY AND GEORGE KUCKEL

JOHN F. MENARD DDS PC

The dental office of Dr. John Menard has a long and interesting history. The practice was started in the early 1870s by Dr. John A. Beardsley, and it was located on Williams Street. He practiced there until 1910 at which time his nephew, Dr. J.N. Garlinghouse took over and ran his practice there for 35 years until his death in 1945. Dr. James L. Francis, a Remsen native, assumed the practice in 1946. Working alone until 1979, he was joined by Dr. Menard from nearby Ilion in 1979. In 1994, due to the need for additional space, they moved the practice to its present location here on East Park Row. Dr. Francis retired in 1998.

This dental practice, therefore, has been in continuous operation for over 130 years. The equipment and techniques have changed incredibly from the foot pedal drill in the 1880s, to the discovery of Novocain in the early part of the nineteenth century, to the high-speed drill in the 1950s and dental implants today. Our staff, old and new, is proud to have been “filling” the dental needs of local residents for several generations.

NESTER BROTHERS CONTRACTORS INC.

In 1908 John Nester was self employed doing jobs which required hand tools, horses and manpower. One such job was driving his horse and wagon to the Clinton O&W Railroad station to pick up building stone that had been shipped from Medina. He delivered it to Marvin Street for the construction of St Mary’s Church in 1909. Other such jobs he performed were the construction of the greens for the Yahnundasis Golf course in 1920 and the Valley View Golf course in 1922-23.

In 1926 Daniel W. and John T. joined their father in his business. In 1934 John Nester died. His sons formed Nester Brothers: John doing bookkeeping and landscaping, and Daniel doing estimating and manual labor.

In 1952 Daniel’s son, John E. (Jack) joined his father in the business, After Daniel’s passing, Jack and his wife Joyce continued to run Nester Brothers, enlisting their son John Jr to carry on as the fourth generation.

Jack has since retired and John Jr. runs this century old family business. The jobs are similar to the ones carried out in 1908, but the means are very different. Large equipment such as backhoes, bulldozers, trackhoes and dump trucks are used as well as good old fashioned manual labor.

This was written in The Courier about the late Matthew Turnock who established the Turnock Funeral Service in 1868. After Matthew died, his son Henry M. Turnock took over the business with Emrys Owens as Turnock and Owens. As a young man, Richard E. Owens joined his father in the family business. Thomas L. Pavlot joined Richard at the business in 1970 and now owns Owens-Pavlot Funeral Service on College Street. Tom’s daughter, Delvena Pavlot Rogers, is a licensed funeral director and works with him. Together they maintain the family owned and operated traditions that have provided
