BRISTOL HILLS HISTORICAL SOCIETY: COMMUNITY CONVERGES WITH UNIQUE PICTURE BOOK VENTURE

BY MARK OBBIE, BRISTOL HILLS HISTORICAL SOCIETY

When a small-town historical society publishes a book on local history, the template is pretty well set: lots of grainy, black-and-white photos, descriptions of famous citizens and noteworthy buildings, and maybe a version of the town’s origin story that overlooks the thousands of years of human history before white settlers arrived.

e Bristol Hills Historical Society took a di erent route. For nearly three years, shortly a er the group merged the two separate historical societies for the towns of Bristol and South Bristol, its volunteers enlisted dozens of residents and businesses to sponsor original watercolor paintings to publish with the stories they depict.

ose stories, a mix of historical fact and folklore, tell the towns’ history from ancient native American times and post-Revolutionary War settlement to contemporary events and locations that are history in the making.

e project’s organizer and lead editor, John Holtz, said, “We wanted the community to tell the stories that they want remembered about our special place in the hills. I started thinking about this as a children’s book, but it grew into something more: a keepsake that we hope is handed down to future generations.” at keepsake, History and Mystery: e Folklore and Legends of the Bristol Hills, with thirty paintings by local illustrator Anna Overmoyer, will be celebrated publicly May 20 at an event featuring a display of original art from the book and a presentation by Haudenosaunee storyteller Perry Ground.

Holtz, a longtime historical society board member, professional outdoors educator, and owner of a South Bristol tree farm, met Overmoyer at an arts festival where she was selling her threedimensional gures and watercolor paintings.

Overmoyer’s work typically features fairies and other whimsical characters. at caught Holtz’s fancy, and he commissioned a painting of “ e Green Man of the Sugar Bush,” telling the story of maple sugaring by what the book now calls “a forest dweller who moves at the border between the worlds of men and plants.” at painting sparked an idea for an entire book of similar works telling other stories, all in a painting style that Overmoyer said is inspired by her rural upbringing in woods and elds “where there was little to do but draw and imagine.” A ergraduatingfromartschool,Overmoyerhonedherimagination during a gap year in Ireland. “I drew portraits, listened to songs and stories, and soaked up the magic of the Irish countryside,” she said.

A erHoltzgotthehistoricalsociety’sapprovaltocompileabook, he and other volunteers put out a call for art patrons with stories to tell. Some residents wanted to memorialize a favorite private hideaway or a legend passed down from earlier generations. Others, including businesses like Bristol Mountain Ski Resort, sought to support the non-pro t organization with a painting and story important to them – in Bristol Mountain’s case, it’s the mountain as Father Winter’s head sporting luxurious white ski slopes as hair.

Other stories include the legend of a cannon lost by General John Sullivan’s destructive campaign against the area’s Seneca people, Bristol’s famed Burning Springs, and “Lonely Lucy,” supposedly the ghost of a woman who lived in an early settlement that is now on the grounds of the Rochester Museum and Science Center’s Cumming Nature Center, another book patron.

NOW HERE’S A TIP! By Joann Derson

• Store kitchen matches wrapped in tin foil to keep them dry when on camping or shing trips. You can also store them in an empty pill bottle if they are the short kind. If you ll paper egg carton cups with dryer lint and drizzle it with wax, you can cut the cups apart and you’ll have small restarters for your camp res. My family does a lot of camping in the summer, and we use these every time. K.R. in Missouri

• To get scorched pan bottoms clean, scrub with sudsy ammonia and rinse well.

• Baby food jars make wonderful organizer containers; most people know that. But you can make a great rst cup from a baby food jar. Screw on the lid tightly and poke holes along one side. Baby can tip and sip, but not much will come out. ey are just the right size for small hands. M.W. in Alabama

• Baby oil can loosen soap scum from shower doors. Apply and bu lightly with a so washcloth. Follow with a shampoo cleaning or just leave as is. It will repel water and smells nice, too.

• To keep shirt collars from absorbing oil and grime, sprinkle with talcum powder while ironing.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Readers Sound O on Dogs’ Front Yard “Gi s”

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have so many thoughts a er reading the letter from the woman with the shared driveway whose neighbor leaves her dog’s poop on her side.

I’m of the opinion that life would be more enjoyable if people learned to meet others where they are. e dog owner clearly doesn’t want to pick up her dog’s poop, and I don’t think checking with an HOA or municipal ordinance will change that. Maybe she has mobility issues. e writer says she and her neighbor “get along ne,” and there’s a LOT to be said for that. If I were her, I would simply buy poop bags and clean up a er the dog. If the neighbor sees her and says something, I would say: “I’ve asked that you pick up a er your dog, but I don’t want that to become a big issue between us because we get along so well. Your friendship means more to me than my taking a few minutes to clean up the driveway.” -- Susan W., via email another reader shares their advice:

I have had this issue several times in the past. I have successfully resolved this issue every time it has come up.

I used a new tool to solve it -- the power of social media. My solution was simple: When I observed an individual allowing their canine to defecate on my property, I announced loudly from my front door that if they did not clean it up, I would locate their property and defecate on theirs as well. I made the same announcement on the neighborhood’s Facebook page.

Aside from the occasional beer can thrown out of a vehicle full of teenagers, we have been at peace. -- Zack in Murieta North
