COOPERSTOWN – The Village Board yesterday approved a resolution calling on officials up to the President of the United States to act to stem global warming, and to pledge Cooperstown’s help in any way it may be needed.

The vote was unanimous, although Trustee Bruce Maxson was absent.

Mayor Jeff Katz said the trustees hope that, with Glimmerglass being a symbol of nature’s purity, the village may be able to play a larger role than its size suggests in solving what is an international problem.
