Livery operator queries river panel By DAVID HULSE

ARROWSBURG, NY — An unresolved question of property ownership and his livery business’s future brought operator Fred Reber to the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) for answers and an invitation on October 1. He got the invitation, but the answers are still to come. Reber asked UDC Chair Al Henry why he was not informed or invited to an upcoming October 21 meeting about the issue. He said he had only learned of the meeting through a news media inquiry. He also asked why Henry was “spearheading the revocation of my livery license. What is the reason you’re singling me out?” Henry said he was happy that Reber had come to the meeting but declined to discuss the issue at that time. Henry rose and walked up to Reber and they shook hands, as Henry explained that his position was not personal. Reber persisted, saying “everybody should be involved,” but Henry did not relent, saying, “Not here.” Later in the meeting Henry explained that UDC is responsible for monitoring the Town of Highland’s issuance of permits and that the October 21 workshop is about ownership and management, and issues are subject to litigation.

Years of questions The question involves the land that Attila and Agnes Benke of the

Carriage House Restaurant lease to Reber for his Reber’s River Trips business. Henry has contended that the property, which is just downstream of the Barryville-Shohola bridge, is government owned and an unpermitted business should not be operating there. In July, during a lively discussion of the issue, Henry reminded National Park Service (NPS) Superintendent Kris Heister that she had the discretion to revoke the livery’s NPS license for a violation of state law. Heister then declined. “My position is that if the town has permitted it and the state won’t take any action, it is not a good excuse [to use] my discretion.” UDC has made inquiries to both the town and the state about the issue over the past year. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has mostly recently been credited as the title owner, and a September 15 letter from NYSDOT Regional Director John R. Williams stated that is probably the case. NYSDOT, which has been researching ownership since late July, has discovered that the property downstream of the bridge was acquired by Sullivan County in 1936, prior to the construction of the original bridge at the site, and sold to NYSDOT in 2003 prior to the construction of the new bridge. “Unfortunately, NYSDOT does not have a certified survey of this

Upper Delaware takes a prize

PPER DELAWARE VALLEY — The Upper Delaware Scenic Byway (UDSB), which runs parallel to the Upper Delaware River, took second place in the USA Today survey of scenic byways, as well as the contest in which supporters voted for the Best Scenic Autumn Drive. The UDSB is 70 miles long and runs along NY State Route 97 between Port Jervis, NY and Hancock, NY, and along the way offers some majestic views of the river. At the September meeting of the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway Committee, member Laurie Ramie speculated that publicity surrounding

the contest lead to an increase in the number of UDSB brochures requested by the public, and also caused the Sullivan County Visitors Association to run out of brochures. The UDSB website notes, “On scenic Route 97 and its various side roads, you’ll find county eateries, art galleries, museums, theaters, antique shops and general stores; all surrounded by undulating hills, long valley vistas and rock cut landscapes. Motorcycle magazines cite Route 97 as being one of the best riding roads in the Northeast region, and portions of Route 97 are National Park Service-designated as Bike Route 17 for bicycling enthusiasts.”

Sullivan applies for electricity purchasing program By FRITZ MAYER

ONTICELLO, NY — Sullivan Alliance for Sustainable Development (SASD), which advises the Sullivan County Legislature on sustainable energy matters, has submitted a petition to the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) to allow SASD to establish a countywide Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program. Under the CCA, consumers in the county would have a choice about whether to purchase the electricity they use in their homes through the CCA, which could result in significant savings. By representing thousands of consumers, the CCA should be able to secure a more favorable rate than those offered to individual consumers. According to a SASD press release, “Under the terms of a resolution unanimously adopted by the Sullivan County Legislature, the Sullivan County CCA must offer an electric rate that is equal to, or lower than, the prevailing commercial rate. CCA may also offer customers a premium, 100% renewable energy option.” The resolution to move forward with the application, passed on September 17, also stipulated that the county would bear no cost for the application or the CCA. SASD worked with the county manager and the county attorney in preparing the application. The CCA concept is relatively new to New York State, although not to other states. Thus far, six states have approved CCA programs in 1,300 communities: Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, California, New Jersey and Rhode Island. CCA programs have resulted in dramatic savings in the cost of electricity, and therefore have not always been welcomed by large utilities. According to a report on the Clean Techinica website (tinyurl.com/pfu48e9), in 2010 Pacific Gas & Electric in California spent $46 million to promote legislation that would have prohibited communities from forming CCAs unless 66% of the residents agreed to do so. That bill was defeated. Another bill, introduced by a California lawmaker who was a former energy executive, would have required residents to “opt in” to the CCA rather than “opt out.” This would likely have greatly reduced participation, because many people in California, as in New York State, are not aware they have a choice about where they purchase electricity. That bill died because no member of the California Senate would sponsor it. In New York, the first group to apply to the PSC to establish a CCA was Sustainable Westchester, which has received authorization and is hoping to serve residents in Westchester County with rates that are from 5% to 10% below what customers are paying now. In Ulster County a group called Citizens for Local Power has written a proposal for a CCA for that county. In Sullivan, the CCA is not only looking to reduce rates for consumers but also to increase alternative energy resources, such as solar, wind and hydroelectric. SASD founder Dick Riseling said, “To the extent that Sullivan County can produce its own power, the money that customers spend on electricity will stay within the county.”

Scenic Byway committee would like permanent space

PA committee approves hemp program

NARROWSBURG, NY — Members of the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway (UDSB) committee would like a place to call home. At last month’s meeting, a discussion took place with Sullivan County legislators Cora Edwards and Gene Benson about this desire. According to the meeting minutes, “If there was ever an expansion at Fort Delaware involving construction of a new, winterized building, UDSB would like to explore having office space there given Narrowsburg’s central location along New York State Route 97. Members discussed that it would be worthwhile to write the Sullivan County Legislature a letter to remind them of that interest, as evidenced by UDSB Inc.’s prior investment of a $25,000 state grant into funding a feasibility study to develop a UDSB visitor center on the county park property. Supervisor Nadia Rajsz said that Sen. John Bonacic should be copied on the letter in case any state funding for tourism-related facilities becomes available.” At one time there was some $850,000 in federal and state funding available to build a Scenic Byway Visitors Center at Fort Delaware. But because there was a county match required of $150,000, and tough economic times gripping the county, the project did not come to fruition.

HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee on October 6 unanimously approved legislation introduced by Rep. Russ Diamond that would create an agricultural pilot program for industrial hemp research. The measure now advances to the House floor. House bill 967 would permit industrial hemp to be grown or cultivated in special programs administered by the Department of Agriculture or institutions of higher learning focused on research and development. “There’s an enormous amount of confusion and misinformation around industrial hemp—it’s not marijuana and you can’t get high from it,” said Diamond. “It’s a naturally occurring plant that’s incredibly strong and durable, making it ideal for use in a wide variety of consumer products.” Products containing industrial hemp include automobile dashboards, home insulation, building materials, soil fertilizer and even some food items. While cultivation has been largely banned in the United States, Americans import products from around the world made from industrial hemp, placing the nation at a competitive disadvantage. Pennsylvania once led the nation in industrial hemp production, and the plant was widely grown in the United States for use in many products. In an attempt to fight marijuana use, the federal government outlawed industrial hemp in the 1930s.

Upper Delaware Council awards Technical Assistance Grants NARROWSBURG, NY —The Upper Delaware Council (UDC) voted on October 1 to award $35,000 in fiscal year 2016 Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) for 10 projects that help fulfill goals of the River Management Plan for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. The latest grant round brings the cumulative amount to $809,325 that the UDC has provided to its member municipalities since 1988. In all, 240 projects have been funded through the TAG program. Technical Assistance Grants are available for nonconstruction projects conducted by the UDC’s eight member New York towns (Hancock, Fremont, Delaware, Cochecton, Tusten, Lumberland, Highland and Deerpark), five Pennsylvania townships (Damascus, Berlin, Lackawaxen, Shohola and Westfall), and their encompassing five river-corridor counties. They can provide seed money for a municipality to embark on a project without having to dip into local tax dollars. Multiple applications are allowed.

Public hearing for Sullivan tax exemptions MONTICELLO, NY — There will be two public hearings regarding tax exemptions of real property taxes in Sullivan County on October 15 at the government center in Monticello in the legislative hearing room. The first hearing is scheduled for 1:40 p.m. and will address a local law introduced by the Planning, Environmental Management and Real Property Committee that would increase property tax exemption levels for senior citizens. The second public hearing scheduled for 1:50 p.m. will address another local law, which would allow for tax exemptions for Gold Star Parents. The full Sullivan County Legislature may vote on the two laws at its regular monthly meeting following the two public hearings. MEMBER NYPA • MEMBER NNA

Mass with Pope Francis

EW YORK CITY, NY — Oliver King is known to members of the community for writing, producing and directing a play commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Town of Bethel in 2009, but he is also a life-long Catholic with deep ties to St. Peter’s Church in Monticello. On September 26, King had the opportunity to take a bus ride with his pastor, Father John Tran, and fellow parishioners, as well as some from Narrowsburg and Wurtsboro, to attend a service presided over by Pope Francis. King said that after the bus got through the Lincoln Tunnel, the bus was stopped at a checkpoint. After that the group had a police escort to the front door of Madison Square Garden. Asked about his experience at the service, King said, “It was just phenomenal. I can’t think of any other word to describe it. As a Pope he is incredible, but as a man, the humility that he exudes is heartwarming. He doesn’t make use of all of the amenities that a Pope usually has, he drives around Rome in a little car of his own. He does so many things that are so unusual for the head of the Roman Catholic Church to do.” King pointed out that the Pontiff is the only Pope Francis in the history of the church, named after St. Francis of Assisi, who had a special affinity for animals and the environment. Pope Francis also cares a great deal about people. King noted that during his visit to this country, it

was clear that he “wanted to be close to the people, pulling children and the handicapped close to him. This is just unheard of; it’s never been done before.” King said by the time the Mass started at 3 p.m., the arena was packed and, “The thing that I felt more than anything is that everybody there was feeling the same thing, the magnificence of this man, the wonder of his connection with the people.” King and his siblings were raised Roman Catholic from birth, and he attended Catholic school for 12 years. The Pope Francis visit was not the first time King felt the excitement of a visiting Pope. In the early ‘60s, King’s family had just purchased a home in Queens not far from Kennedy Airport, where Pope John 23rd landed for a visit to New York City. King said, “Our entire community was aware of the visit, how exciting it was for everyone and how the TV was filled with news of the visit.” But the next occasion that brought King close to another Pope was far more memorable. He attended the Olympic Games in Munich, Germany in 1972, when 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and ultimately murdered. He was performing there with a street theater company, and the Olympic event was cut short, leaving him with time to fill. Many of his group returned home early, but he decided to use the extra time hitch-hiking to Rome and experiencing Europe. Hitchhiking was a new experience for him, but people were helpful and gave him rides.

Going digital at Honesdale High School All students receive iPads By FRITZ MAYER

ONESDALE, PA — Children born after 1980 are said to be “digital natives” because, while the Internet was not widely in use at the time, computer bulletin boards and Usenet were. Certainly any student in high school today can be considered native to the digital age. Recognizing that living in the digital age has an impact on the way students receive information, the administration at Honesdale High School decided this year to provide all of their students with iPads, which may be taken home and used in many ways. According to Greg Frigoletto, superintendent of the Wayne Highlands School District, the experiment actually began last year in the sophomore class. The district decided that at least one text book—they settled on a history book—would be an eBook, which would be interactive and online, and was loaded into an iPad for each student. Frigoletto said the program was met with enthusiasm because even outside of the history classes, teachers in other classes started to use the iPads with students. Frigoletto said these digital native students “do well with technology, they’re motivated by technology. We have a lot of staff that are increasingly interested in using more technology as part of their instruction.” It worked so well that this year all 790 students in grades nine through 12 have been issued iPads. Along with the freshman and sophomore history eBooks, there are also a variety of educational applications that can be used. The iPads are an expense, but this initiative has

been funded through a roughly $57,000 grant administered by the PA State Department of Education Rural and Low-Income School Program. Asked if some students had a problem using the iPad, Frigoletto said, “We found that there were very, very few homes that would not have some sort of access for the students to be able to use them at home.” He added if there were ever a case where a student would not be able to connect, “we would always be able to have available to them some other means to get them the material.” He stressed again the relationship between students and this sort of technology: “There really is not any inhibition that students have in regard to an iPad or any sort of electronic device.” He also noted there was a wide range among teachers, with some teaching for 30 years and others relatively new on the job. He said they have different approaches to this technology, and he added, “That’s OK. Nobody’s saying a lecture is not still a great part of a lesson, but the technology needs to be included on some level, and so we have some teachers who are maybe really our more resident experts.” In fact there are staff positions now directly related to technology. Frigoletto said Lori Sheldon is the district-wide technology integrator, and Scott Miller is the director of technology. As to the practicality of handing out so many pieces of equipment, last year it turned out better than expected for the district. He said there were only two that were damaged, and they were investigated and turned out to be accidents. He said the kids have a special interest in their iPads, and parents had mostly positive responses.

He said he knew he had to go to the Vatican while he was in Rome. He entered the Basilica, and there was a group of nuns singing inside, and the acoustics were magnificent. He said it was a bit like being in the Twilight Zone. The doors to the Sistine Chapel were set to open at 12 noon, but they opened about 20 minutes late, and when they did, out walked Pope Paul VI with the governor of Rome. The Pope apologized for opening the chapel late, but said he had been involved in an important meeting. King was standing in the front of the crowd of people, and before the Pope left, he shook King’s hand and touched his head, after which King visited the historic Sistine Chapel. King said that he is aware that over the church’s long history, some of the early Popes have been controversial. “In the history of our church, I’ve heard so many viewpoints of how things panned out over the years and centuries, but having Pope Francis at this point in time, none of that seems important. With Pope Francis, he seems to wipe anything bad away.” King’s ties to St. Peters have grown over the years, and he is now a choir member, lector and teaches religious education. In June he was also inducted into the Knights of Columbus. King lives in Kauneonga Lake, and travels to New York City, where he continues to be involved in theater, dance and musical productions.

Youth charged with attempted murder, rape By FRITZ MAYER

REHER TONWSHIP, PA — A 15-year-old male from Tobyhanna was arrested on October 1 for stabbing an 83-year old woman and then raping her at her home in Dreher Township. Azaiah Williams allegedly committed the crimes on September 24. According to press release from Wayne County Contributed photo District Attorney Janine Edwards, “The victim Azaiah was taken to Pocono Medical Center and put into a Williams medically induced coma due to the severity of her injuries, and she remains in that condition. A laboratory used in this investigation found semen in the underpants of the victim, which were taken as part of a sexual assault evidence collection kit done at the hospital.” Williams allegedly took a credit card belonging to the victim, and when his aunt discovered it in his possession, she called the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department. An officer who responded to the home, recognized the victim’s name on the card. Williams voluntarily went to the Pennsylvania State Police station in Honesdale and admitted to knocking on people’s doors in the victim’s neighborhood. He said he went to the victim’s door to ask to use her phone, and she answered the door holding a seven-inch steak knife. He took the knife away from her, and repeatedly stabbed the victim in her neck, chest and back before removing her clothing and raping her. He left her on the floor unconscious and bleeding. District Attorney Edwards said, “No one can answer why these things happen, but thankfully because of both the intensive police work of the Pennsylvania State Police and the exceptional alertness of the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department an atrocious crime is solved. The severity and heinousness of these crimes leads to the charging of this 15-year-old as an adult. I am hopeful the victim recovers and can see justice in this matter.”

Pike’s economy growing, but more work is ahead

L Continued from page 1

By FRITZ MAYER

AWLEY, PA — In January 2012 and through mid-2013, Pike County’s unemployment rate was between 9.6% and 10.6%. “Since then, we have been improving. Today we are at the 6.4%,” Pike County Economic Development Corporation (EDC) Executive Director Michael Sullivan told an audience of about 150 persons on September 30. Sullivan spoke at the EDC’s third-annual banquet, where five businesses—Kahr Arms of Blooming Grove, the Middletown Community Health Center at Milford, All-Fresh Farms of Greene Township, Econo-Pak of Milford, and LP Cylinders of Shohola—were honored for their efforts at improving those employment numbers. Between them, they have created over 200 new jobs, and project the addition of 300 more in coming months, according to EDC. Pike has been an economy of the self-employed, with some 3,700 establishments bringing in some $45 million in annual revenues, but the county has only 888 privatesector businesses employing other people. Most people still go to private-sector jobs outside the county. The availability of abundant retail in neighboring Orange County, NY has hurt Pike in that sector, he said. Recognizing the traditional strength of Pike’s hospitality business sector, Sullivan said the county lags behind national averages in manufacturing jobs, which state tax structures favor. This is EDC’s target area and where new, higher-paying jobs are coming from, he said. In order to do that, the county and its property owners need to work together with developers of new business to draw new job creators, he said. He presented a list of “things to do,” which includes

George Ross Mackenzie Elementary celebrates 20 years By ISABEL BRAVERMAN

LEN SPEY, NY — A day of fun for students was planned to recognize the 20th anniversary of the George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School, a part of the Eldred School District. A bouncy house was set up outside for the children to take turns in, and a ceremony was held in the gymnasium with special guests. Principal Virginia Keegan welcomed the students and guests to the festivities, to a roomful of exceptionally well-behaved students in grades pre-Kindergarten to sixth. Musical entertainment was a big part of the ceremony; The Key Elements, an a cappella group from Eldred High School, sang the National Anthem and the high school band expertly performed two songs. The students keenly listened and were enraptured with the musical performances, clapping along to the band. Then, they got their turn to perform. Under the direction of Justin Glodich and Kristina Martorano they sang “Birthday” by the Beatles and danced. Special guests then made their short speeches. They were Board of Education President Douglas Reiser, Lumberland Supervisor Nadia Rajsz, a representative of Sen. John Bonacic, and Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther. After the ceremony, a ribbon cutting was held at the new Kindergarten playground, which was funded with

site…. ” Williams wrote. New York and PA departments of transportation, through the interstate bridge commission, do have maintenance jurisdiction for issuing permits “for any use beyond that required to maintain the bridge,” Williams wrote. The agencies can also decide to surplus unneeded property back to Sullivan County for resale, “upon the request of a private entity…,” he wrote. Williams revealed that Reber made a written (2014) request to purchase the property and was informed (incorrectly, according to the current state position) by NYSDOT in June of this year “that the area was not owned by NYSDOT.” “Our latest findings,” he continued, “are that NYSDOT does have permitting authority on the property and “Reber’s River Trips is encroaching on this property.” At Williams’ request and according to its Project Review Committee minutes, UDC recently scheduled an “invitation only” October 21 workshop in Narrowsburg to “discuss ownership, maintenance and management of the property around the… bridge.” A proposed list of invitees included the National Park Service, New York Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York and PA departments of transportation, Sullivan County, the Town of Highland and the UDC. Neither the people paying taxes on the property (the Benkes) nor the business operator on the site (Reber) were then invited. “We wanted to get the administrative issues settled on this level, before dealing with some of the other local issues,” UDC Executive Director Laurie Ramie said of the decision on September 29. At that time, property co-owner Agnes Benke was unmoved by the ongoing discussion. “Let them have their meeting. I own the property and I have my deed,” she said.

Resolving the invitation On October 1, Reber told the meeting that he lived at the Carriage House, then Reber’s Restaurant, for many years, and as a real estate broker he was familiar with the property involved and its past ownership. He said he had made every attempt to keep his business off any disputed areas. “I have employees and an investment in the business and equipment. I bring people to the area who buy gas, food and hotel rooms. I collect sales tax.” He said he’s tried to buy the property from both the state, who told them they didn’t own it, and the county, which did not respond. “I don’t understand why you want to revoke my license,” he said. “We had complaints come to us. That’s how we got involved,” said Westfall delegate Michael Barth. He did not detail the complaints. “If you are in violation of state law, that’s a reason to revoke your license,” Henry said. “Will Fred Reber have an opportunity for input?” asked Highland Supervisor and UDC delegate Andy Boyar. As an attorney who represented the Benkes, Boyar had in past abstained from discussion of the issue. Henry said he had not contemplated inviting the public. Hancock delegate Fred Peckham said that UDC was unlikely to find someone more familiar with the property than a long-time resident like Reber. He moved that Reber be invited to the upcoming meeting, and the motion was approved without objection. “I apologize for my earlier position,” Henry said. Ramie said that the invitation would also be extended to the Benkes.

Financial challenge in Port Jervis By ANYA TIKKA

ORT JERVIS, NY — At the Port Jervis Common Council September 28 meeting, finance problems came up several times. Finance Committee Chair Frank Bell reported the committee is trying to find ways to increase revenue, because “the cash flow is poor. There are problem areas with cash flow. It’s not favorable.” Carl Hendrick, the Community Development Agency (CDA) liaison, spoke further about the city’s cash-flow problems, saying CDA Director Valerie Maginsky is considering taking on consulting work to add $15,000 income per year, a topic that was discussed in the CDA meeting. Code and legislative liaison Stan Siegel added in his report that the committee is trying to allow wholesale businesses in the downtown business area along with other businesses, and that their next meeting is on October 12, and will be open to everyone. Robert Ritchie, the liaison of the Port Jervis Industrial Development Agency reported that the previously arranged special meeting with Future Home Tech-

nology/Excel Homes, which builds custom modular houses, took place on September 21. He and other city representatives took a tour of the facility and found it to be clean and the business owners ready to cooperate. “Unfortunately, there are no projects. That was a breach of the [payment-inlieu-of-taxes] agreement, that’s why we went on the tour,” Ritchie explained. “They’re hoping to get some projects, and if they do, they’ll get 30 to 60 days to get the materials. At the time [of the tour] I asked the manager how many people are working there right now, and he said zero. The last major project the company had was in January 2015, and then they had a couple of minor projects that lasted until May 2015.” He continued, “When we walked through the plant, there was a project board. The last entry on the board was August 2015.” On another topic, several council members praised the successful Fall Foliage Festival held the previous day, which was reportedly the busiest in 23 years. Event organizer Laura Meyer also commented

that she was happy to see progress in the city finally, crediting the “If you see something, say something” campaign. She said, “Thank you DPW for helping me with Fall Foliage Festival, and police, fire police, city, and tourism board. We had a great day, with estimated 15,000 people in attendance. Thank you everyone for coming and for your help.” Councilmembers Robert Ritchie and Kevin Cunningham also congratulated the success of the festival. Cunningham said, “They did a great job. Congratulations. Thank you to the tourism board and the community who came together. It was an opportunity to see things we don’t normally see come together. There are many organizations in our community that had fundraisers. It was a wonderful day.” Councilmember Stan Siegel spoke about the heroin and opium information meeting that took place October 1 at Port Jervis High School cafeteria. He said, “Heroin and opiates are something we all need to get educated in. There was another event downtown recently—I attend them all because opiates change often, and it’s a big deal for Port Jervis.”

Little Lake Erie bridge repair coming By FRITZ MAYER

ARROWSBURG, NY — An inspection of the bridge above the dam at the end of Little Lake Erie—Town Bridge 17—on September 17 revealed that the bridge needs to be replaced. A letter from engineer Robert Trotta to Town of Tusten Highway Supervisor Glenn Swendsen explained that the bridge was created in a design called “jack arches,” consisting of eleven steel beams separated with arches. Seven of the beams have deteriorated, and need to be replaced, and the letter suggests replacing all of them because that will be necessary. The town highway department will need to decide whether the bridge should be replaced in kind or if a new type of bridge should be installed. The letter said “the no-action alternative is not recommended.”

The letter says the bridge is adequate for its intended purpose, and if it were replaced as it is, it could be done in stages to allow traffic to continue to use it while it is being replaced. Alternatively, the highway department might choose a different design. The cost would be $65,000 for the existing design if town labor and equipment were used, and $146,000 for the alternative design if town labor and equipment were used. The cost would be substantially higher in both cases if an outside contractor is engaged. Additionally, Trotta says there are a couple of immediate steps that need to be taken, including covering a hole in the deck with a steel plate and having the bridge rated by an engineer to determine if the weight on it should be restricted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

UN adopts sustainability goals; TPP deal blocks them

orld leaders were at the New York headquarters of the United Nations (UN) on September 25, when they unanimously adopted the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). These are important targets, as the globe moves toward sustainability and global practices regarding everything from transportation and manufacturing to health and agriculture. There are 17 major goals, and a total of 69 targets, and overall the goals show that the world leaders, at least in theory, are willing to say that these goals should be pursued. The goals are all laudable and have been in the radar of many humanitarian organizations for decades. The first goal, for instance, is to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere;” the second is to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.” At the same time world leaders were adopting these goals, trade representatives from 12 Pacific Rim countries were working to finalize an agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which would set new economic and trading rules for 12 countries, including the United States, representing about 40% of the world economy, and would make it difficult, if not impossible, for countries to achieve the agreed-upon UN goals. Take the goal of supporting sustainable agriculture. If a country decided that genetically modified organisms (GMO) in food, and the pesticides that are intended to be used with them, were not sustainable and decided to ban them, that country might be the subject of a lawsuit from companies such as Monsanto, who produce the GMOs and pesticides. Monsanto could argue the ban negatively impacts its “expected future profits,” and under the “In-

vestor State Dispute Settlement” (ISDS) included in the TPP, the company could sue the country in a corporate tribunal. The judges in these tribunals would be highly paid corporate lawyers who are known to switch back and forth between being judges and representing either countries or companies. As Sam Cossar-Gilbert of Friends of the Earth International (FOEI) wrote in an October 2 online article (tinyurl.com/ogb4648), “The TPP would drive a race to the bottom in environmental protection. The TPP chapters on technical barriers to trade will threaten regulators’ access to the tools needed to effectively regulate the roughly 85,000 chemicals in commerce needed to protect human health and our environment.” He added, “Even very simple consumer sustainability measures like efficiency rating and food labeling on imported goods could be impossible under TPP, because labeling regulation can be deemed a barrier to trade.” It is not an alarmist view to think that this sort of lawsuit will increase if TPP passes, because such suits are already happening under previously negotiated agreements. As the FOEI article pointed out, “In 2009 Vattenfall, the Swedish energy giant, launched a $1.9 billion ISDS case against Germany for its decision to delay a coal-fired power station and impose stricter environmental standards. To avoid the potentially massive fine looming under ISDS, the government reached a settlement that involved removing additional environmental requirements, enabling the coal plant to begin operating in 2014. With the highest carbon content among fossil fuels, coal is a profound threat to the climate.” Passage of TPP would likely mean that new laws adopted by municipalities, states and countries meant to protect the environment and human health would become the targets of ISDS lawsuits, and New York towns that passed drilling bans could be vulnerable. It is not an exaggeration to say that while world leaders are acting clearly for the common good in adopting the UN goals on the one hand, on the other they are at the same time working to block that good in favor of maximized corporate profits through the TPP. The ISDS element of TPP is not the only objectionable one. Another is the extreme secrecy under which it has been negotiated. Much of the agreement has been leaked through the press, but negotiators intended details to be kept secret for five years after the TPP is passed or abandoned. While the 12 Pacific Rim countries announced on October 5 that a deal had been reached, the details must be finalized and the governments of these countries must sign on to the specifics. Because Congress approved fast-track authority, when members vote on it, perhaps next spring, there will be no opportunity to offer amendments. We agree with Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on the right and Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on the left that TPP is a bad deal and, if you agree, you should contact your representatives in Washington, DC.

To a garbage dumper, in the spirit of Pope Francis... I write this letter in the spirit of the recent visit of Pope Francis in which he caused us to reflect upon the passage in the Bible in which it is said, if you are told that someone wants your pants, offer your jacket as well. I live on Airport Road in Eldred, NY. Somebody seems to think that it is the perfect location to drop their trash, most recently a mattress. I say to you, don’t act like the thief who does their dirty work under cover of darkness. Instead, come to me, I have a pickup truck. I will help you haul your trash to the transfer station. If money is your problem, come to me, I’ll even pay for it. Andrew Valenti Eldred, NY

Important to vote in Cochecton This year’s contest for Cochecton Town Council is heating up early. There are four candidates for two available seats. I am supporting Joan Glase and Larry Richardson because they have fresh ideas for making Cochecton a little prettier, healthier and richer than it already is. They are eager to devote full energy and time to serving all their neighbors’ interests. The other candidates offer only part-time service and stagnation. We all have to promise to vote on November 3, especially those of us needing absentee ballots. Those are now available to download at www.elections.ny.gov/NYSBOE/download/voting/Absentee06152010.pdf. Absentee voters will be pivotal in this election. Get and send your applications now so you meet the deadline of October 27 to postmark your application. Recent New York court rulings make it clear that second-home owners who maintain legitimate residences in more than one place have the right to vote where they choose. It is in your interest to vote in Cochecton where your vote can really change the outcome. October 9 is the deadline for new registrations. You can register at www. elections.ny.gov/votingregister.html. Questions can be directed to Sullivan County Board of Elections Government Center, 100 North St., PO Box 5012, Monticello, NY 12701-5192 Phone: 845/807-0400 Fax: 845/807-0410 Wishing good luck to us in Cochecton.

He’s back After spending last winter anonymously trashing Highland Supervisor Andy Boyer while hiding behind the acronym T.U.F.F., Charles Petersheim finally came out and admitted that T.U.F.F. is he and wants us to believe that he is tough. Mr. Petersheim, who lost his bid for the Democratic Party nomination for town supervisor, is back with his old tricks. He has now turned his attention to hyperbolic self promotion, bragging that his candidacy is endorsed by T.U.F.F. So Mr. Petersheim has endorsed himself for town supervisor, hardly a remarkable achievement. Moreover, he claims that he is “supported” (not “endorsed”) by Highland Republicans. One must wonder what that means. Perhaps one or two Republican-affiliated citizens in the town support him for one thing or another. That falls well short of a meaningful political endorsement. A recent Petersheim flyer is signed by the nameless “Friends of Petersheim.” Who might they be? It appears that Mr. Petersheim is trying to give the impression of having broad community support, while in reality it seems to be quite the opposite. Continued on page 7

MIXED GREENS

By Carol Roig

Continued from page 6

The threadbare political double-speak that has polluted the national political discourse has no place in our town elections, which should be among forthright, qualified candidates. Mr. Petersheim’s tawdry tactics have exposed a candidate who seems to consider candor his foe. So, Chuck, come November, my vote goes to Jeff Haas for Town of Highland supervisor. Donald Derfner Yulan, NY

Clarification from Highland Republicans This correspondence is an attempt to clarify the Republican endorsement and support of a candidate for supervisor of the Town of Highland. The Town of Highland Republican Party only endorses and supports one candidate, Donald “Jeff” Haas for the position of supervisor. As such, his name will appear on the Republican line in the November election. Candidate Charles “Chuck” Petersheim is not endorsed or supported by the Republican party or committee of the Town of Highland. Mr. Petersheim has distributed via postal mail campaign materials to town residents indicating that he is “Supported by Highland Republicans” and displaying the Republican Party emblem. The emblem is a copyrighted trademark of the National Republican Committee, which Mr. Petersheim has not been authorized to use. Mr. Petersheim’s misrepresentation of support and unauthorized use of a copyrighted emblem can also be found on flyers displayed on social media and throughout town. Mr. Petersheim has been notified to cease and desist use of any reference to Highland Republicans or use of the Republican symbol in any future materials. The Republican Committee and the Republican Party of the Town of Highland does not support his campaign in any way. Dennis M. Hatton, Sr. Chairman, Town of Highland Republican Committee

Green Diebboll a unifying force We are writing to support Isaac Green Diebboll for the county legislature, representing District 5 (Delaware, Callicoon, Fremont, White Sulphur Springs, parts of Swan Lake). We have known Isaac and his family for years. He is a man of integrity and honesty, with a genuine concern for our community and the people who comprise it. Since moving to Callicoon full time, Isaac has dedicated himself to community service: videotaping town meetings throughout the county and posting them on Youtube as a permanent record; serving in the Hortonville Fire Department and being named Fireman of the Year in 2014; starting the North School Studio and hosting workshops on environmental concerns and new technologies; participating actively in the Callicoon Business Association and much more. Isaac is entering politics for the right reasons: to help our communities grow, to consider all points of view and embrace our diversity, and to design solutions that raise the quality of life for the greatest number of people. His outlook is one of inclusion, fairness and openness. He will strive to form healthy relationships across party lines, and he will be a unifying force here in Sullivan County. Joe and Elise Freda Callicoon , NY

Someone who listens and acts I am writing in support of Isaac Green Diebboll’s campaign for a seat on the Sullivan County Legislature. I had the pleasure of meeting Isaac in a local coffee shop where he was interested in listening to the concerns of the folks present. He took notes and gave a good deal of his time. He

never asked for support for his campaign, but asked how he could be of service to the issues raised. To that end, the very next day I received a call from a community agency interested in developing a partnership to address one of the issues stated. Isaac had encouraged the call and attended the meet and greet to help address the problem. This is exactly the kind of youthful energy in leadership Sullivan County is in need of. Folks who can discern issues and bridge the gaps before we recreate the wheel. Isaac has a vision for Sullivan County and is dedicated to our area. I encourage all to seriously consider giving Isaac Green Diebboll a place in our Sullivan County Legislature. Rev. Bridgette LeConey, Pastor Liberty and White Sulphur Springs United Methodist Churches

Time for a change in Shohola I’ve lived in Shohola for 40 years. Since Town Board Chairman George Fluhr, Jr. took office in 2010, he has shown continuing disrespect to Shohola citizens, a determination to keep government wrapped in secrecy, a closed mind to new ideas and a very troubling attitude, which too often looks like he is on a vendetta. The Fluhr family has had its day. Between George, Sr. and George, Jr., they’ve “ruled” Shohola for over 37 years. I’m voting for Shirley Masuo as a write-in candidate because she offers a common-sense platform (he offers none) and a commitment to truly open government. I’m old enough to know when it’s time for a change. It is definitely time for a change. Roseann Prigge Shohola, PA

An easy choice: Masuo An article in last week’s Pike County Dispatch about the race for township supervisor in Shohola between writein candidate Shirley Masuo and incumbent George Fluhr Jr. said he “has regularly presented his vision and platform for Shohola publicly.” I attend nearly every monthly supervisors meeting, and I haven’t a clue as to what Mr. Fluhr’s “vision” and “platform” constitute. He said that his platform is “to keep taxes low, improve roads as much as possible and maintain a strong police presence.” Those are noble goals, but they are not a platform. Voters want to know how he will achieve those goals, and it is the “how” about which Mr. Fluhr refuses to converse. On the other hand, write-in candidate Masuo has presented a solid, achievable platform constituting, in part, creation of a financial management committee to draw upon the talents of Shohola citizens to assist the board in anticipating needs, setting financial goals and developing plans to attain those goals. Her platform includes programs to identify cost savings in managing the energy needs of township buildings and examine potential opportunities to lower operating costs through joint purchases and equipment-sharing with neighboring townships. Her platform includes enhancing government/citizen communications through a citizens advisory council, development of an annual state-of-the-township report and expanding the role of the township website to be the hub of essential township information. Ms. Masuo has my write-in vote because she is a fair, open-minded person who has offered a thoughtful, reasonable and attainable platform of actions to better serve the people of Shohola. Incumbent Fluhr offers voters platitudes. For me, the choice is very, very easy. David D. Farrington Shohola, PA

Tricks and treats

ike a child’s haul of candy on Halloween, the environmental news over the past few months has been a mixed bag. First the treats, starting with the news that 36 companies around the world have pledged to transition to 100% renewable energy, some as soon as 2020. Last month nine additional companies took the pledge, including Goldman Sachs, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Proctor & Gamble and Starbucks. The pledge, called RE100, was introduced by The Climate Group, an international non-profit, to highlight the investment that forward-looking companies are making in addressing climate change. Just last week Royal Dutch Shell announced they were abandoning “for the foreseeable future” their plans to drill for oil in the Arctic. After lobbying relentlessly for permission to drill and spending more than $7 billion on the effort, Shell was forced to face some hard facts: the operation proved wildly expensive, the test wells provided marginal results, and the environmental movement made a compelling argument against what seemed increasingly like a desperate and ill-conceived effort. There’s also progress on the plastic microbeads issue that I wrote about last year. Commonly added as an exfoliating or scrubbing ingredient in toothpastes, soaps, shampoos and body scrubs, these tiny plastic beads are accumulating in our waterways and harming fish and other wildlife. Toxic PCBs and chemicals such as flame retardants adhere to their surfaces and make their way into the food chain, according to the 5-Gyres Institute, which monitors plastic pollution in the world’s oceans. Despite fierce opposition from manufacturers, including the above-mentioned Proctor & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson, the California legislature has voted to join six other states in banning the sale of personal care products containing plastic microbeads. California’s action is especially significant because the state represents approximately one-eighth of the total U.S. market for these products; that buying power means companies will be forced to eliminate microbeads altogether or risk losing a huge segment of their consumer base. New York’s proposed ban on microbeads was blocked from making it to the floor of the state Senate last year after winning unanimous approval in the Assembly. New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has vowed to keep trying. In the meantime, we can do our best to avoid products containing polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and nylon. And now the fuzzy lollipop in the treat bag: a study by researchers at Yale reveals that Americans are sending twice as much trash to landfills as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has previously estimated. The study used actual documented tonnage of material going to landfills, which the EPA began requiring in 2010, instead of the estimates reported indirectly to the EPA in earlier years. For 2012, the study concluded that Americans sent 289 million tons of waste to landfills, more than twice the EPA’s estimate, and the number rose in 2013. We are recycling significantly less than we thought we were—a dirty trick on ourselves and the next generation. I know we can do better.

estled beside the Lackawaxen River in Honesdale, PA, the Old Stone Jail is one of the great historic buildings in Wayne County. When Honesdale became the county seat in 1841, a wooden jail was built on the site, but jailbreaks were frequent, and the stone jail was opened in 1859. The interior can best be described as a dungeon, cold in winter, stifling in summer. Unfortunately, this jail proved no more successful at detaining the local criminal element than the earlier hoosegow. The most notorious escape was that of James McCabe in 1887. McCabe was sentenced to hang for murder but managed to break out and remained at large for several months before he was recaptured and finally hanged. Thanks to the Wayne County Commissioners, the Wayne County Historical Society opens the jail to the public from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on the second Saturday of every warm weather month. The last free open house of 2015 is scheduled for Saturday, October 10. From the collection of the Wayne County Historical Society 810 Main St., Honesdale. The museum and research library

They will complete a temari with a simple pattern. A second workshop will be offered in the spring in which participants will learn a more complex pattern and the basic kiku (chrysanthemum) design using the uwagake chidori stitch.

Autumn animal health

HOUSE CALLS

Joseph A. D’Abbraccio, D.V.M.

utumn across our region is nothing short of spectacular. While in awe of the amazing colors and contrast, it is also important for you to prepare your pets for the winter months ahead. Whether you have dogs, cats, horses, sheep, or cows, it is important to have your veterinarian provide a thorough check up to ensure that your pet is healthy and ready for winter. In our region, the winters are generally long and can be very difficult on people as well as animals. For dogs and cats, it is important that your

pets are treated for fleas and ticks. Many of them have been exposed to these parasites over the summer, and despite what many think, the cold weather is not a repellant. These parasites will continue to live off of your pets by feeding the dog’s/ cat’s blood supply and often transmitting very serious diseases. One of the most serious is Lyme disease, which is transmitted during feeding by a tick that is infected with the bacteria. Given that New York has such a high prevalence of Lyme disease, fall is a very good time of year

to be sure that your pet did not contract Lyme, or any of the other diseases spread by ticks. Early detection and treatment is very important to ensure that your pet does not have long standing affects of Lyme disease. Internal parasites are another common concern as the seasons change. During the warmer months, intestinal parasites are commonly found out in your yard or pasture. Internal parasites compete for the nutrients your animals consume and therefore no matter how well you feed

them they can continue to lose weight, have loose bowel movements and have poor fur coats. The best way to identify the proper deworming medication to give to your pet is to have a fecal sample evaluated. This is a simple test that can be provided by your veterinarian’s office. In many cases you may receive results within an hour; however some specific tests may take one to two business days. Horses are animals that are greatly affected by seasons changing and often Continued on page 14

IBERTY, NY — The Catskill Exotic Bird Club will hold its 23rd annual Pet Bird Show on Sunday, October 11, at the Liberty Firehouse, 256 Sprague Ave., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be bird judging, vendors selling everything from bird toys to cages to food and birds. All owners of pet birds are encouraged to enter their own birds; the entry fee is $1 a bird.

lose weight over the winter. Horses that are harder to maintain at a balanced weight are referred to as “hard keepers,” and those that have no issue with weight are termed “easy keepers.” Weight loss can be attributed to internal parasites or to severe cold requiring more energy to keep warm, but also may be caused by something as simple as dental disease. Given the way they chew their food, horses have teeth that continue to erupt. When a horse’s teeth problems are not properly addressed, there is strong risk of their not being able to properly digest their food, and they become unable to absorb nutrients completely. At least once a year a thorough oral examination should be performed to evaluate the architecture of your horse’s teeth, and your veterinarian can then discuss how to correct these issues. Often this involves rasping their teeth with either hand rasps or mechanical rasps. This procedure is called “floating.” Some horses need their teeth to be looked at every six months. Lastly, vaccinations are also an important way of being sure that your pets are ready for the winter. Animals of all types and kinds should be current on their vaccinations. The best way to vaccinate your

pet is to speak with your veterinarian about where your animal goes and what you do with them. This way you and your veterinarian can create a custom vaccine. Be sure to enjoy the beautiful colors and the crisp air and be sure to contact your family veterinarian to schedule your pet’s check up.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE ARTS, LEISURE AND OUTDOORS

Local studio, international tour

ENTERTAINMENT BRIEFS

By ISABEL BRAVERMAN

t was mere coincidence that on the day I talked to Albert Hammond Jr., guitarist for The Strokes and a solo artist in his own right, the Internet was abuzz with talk (or rumor) that The Strokes are working on new music. Lead singer Julian Casablancas let it slip during their show at Landmark Music Festival in Washington, DC on September 27, saying, “We’ll be back soon. We’ll be back in the studio and sh*t.” Perhaps it could be created at Hammond Jr.’s recording studio/ home in Eldred, NY? Fans have been dying for another Strokes album since the last one, “Comedown Machine,” was released in 2013. All the members have dabbled in other musical projects, and Hammond Jr. is going at it full force, releasing a new album in July and embarking on a months-long international tour. His new album, “Momentary Masters,” is named after a Carl Sagan quote: “The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.” This is Hammond Jr.’s third album, coming after 2006’s “Yours to Keep” and 2008’s “¿Cómo Te Llama?” and the 2013 release, “AHJ,” an EP (extended play), which generated the hit “St. Justice” (Rolling Stone named it one of the best 100 songs of 2013). According to a press release, the person who created those songs is in a very different place now. After struggling with addiction, Hammond Jr. entered rehab. Now he is sober and open to talking about his past. You can sense this change of life in “Momentary Masters,” although the classic Hammond Jr. stylings are still there, like buoyant guitar riffs and poetic lyrics, the overall feel is a reflection on the past, choices made, right or wrong. He calls it “a love letter to my past self.” The Catskills area has long been a

‘The Old Invisible Woman” Albert Hammond Jr. haven for artists and musicians. There was Woodstock of course, and Bob Dylan and The Band recorded “The Basement Tapes” at a house in Saugerties (which, by the way, you can now rent). Aptly, Hammond Jr. covers Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” on the new album. His recording studio, a converted barn he calls One Way Studios is, for now, for personal use, although The Strokes recorded “Angles” there. For “Momentary Masters” he assembled Hammarsing Kharhmar (front man of Mon Khmer) who’s been playing guitar with Hammond Jr. since 2008; guitarist Mikey Hart (Bleachers); bassist Jordan Brooks; and drummer Jeremy Gustin (Delicate Steve, Marc Ribot) to work on his new material. The recording process took place in chunks, a week here and a week there, over a period of a couple months. The album is being released by Vagrant Records and is produced by Grammy-winning producer Gus Oberg, who’s worked extensively with

The Strokes and happens to be one of Hammond Jr.’s closest friends. How did Hammond Jr. find himself in Eldred? When he was living in the city, comedian David Cross lived in his building. Cross has a home in the area (and even made a film, “Hits,” based on Liberty, NY), and he helped Hammond Jr. find a place to live. He and his wife, Justyna, moved there full-time in March, though he spends much of his time on the road. “It’s a fun vibe up there,” Hammond Jr. said. “So far we’ve been loving it; we didn’t think it was going to be like that, to be honest. My wife and I were both a little, not afraid, but just skeptical whether it was going to be a thing for us, and it turned out to be amazing.” Hammond Jr. is currently on tour, with upcoming shows in Texas, Japan, the United Kingdom and more. The closest show to our small corner of the country is in Philadelphia, PA on November 7. For tour dates, visit www.alberthammondjr. com/tour-dates.

When one of the guests tries to murder Gillette, the scene is set for his greatest role as Gillette plans to solve the case himself in the style of the detective (Sherlock Holmes) he’s played for over 30 years. “Postmortem” is directed by and stars Harold Tighe. Cast members are Meghan Grieco, Mick Wheaton, Rick Schafstein, Heather Strauss, Ellen Pavloff and Amber Schmidt.

Pontine Theatre’s Victorian toy theatre

‘Hunting of the Snark’ HIGHLAND LAKE, NY — NACL Theatre presents Lewis Carroll’s “The Hunting of the Snark and Other Nonsense” by Pontine Theatre on Saturday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 11 at 3 p.m. The performance is suitable for all ages, from school-age children on up. Pontine Theatre hails from Portsmouth, NH and specializes in creating delightful original theatre performances with a special focus on the culture and stories of New England. This show is a Victorian toy theatre extravaganza, inspired by the popular 19th century parlor entertainment. The production is performed by co-artistic directors Greg Gathers and Marguerite Mathews, with figures, set, projected images and costumes designed and created by Gathers. Stories dramatized include “The Hunting of the Snark,” “The Walrus and the Carpenter” and “Jabberwocky.” Carroll got the idea for “The Hunting of the Snark” on the afternoon of July 18, 1874, when he took a stroll and, in his own words, “Suddenly there came into my head one line of verse—one solitary line—’For the snark was a Boojum, you see.’ I knew not what it meant, then; I know not what it means, now; but I wrote it down; and, some time afterwards, the rest of the stanza occured to me, that being the last line; and so by degrees, at odd moments during the next year or two, the rest of the poem pieced itself together, that being its last stanza. Tickets cost $20; $10 for people under the age of 30. Buy online at www.nacl.org. NACL is located at 110 Highland Lake Rd. Call 845/557-0694.

Calidore String Quartet MILFORD, PA — The Calidore String Quartet will perform Bach, Mozart, and Mendelssohn at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 10 at the Milford Theatre. Although many of us often lose some skills as we grow older, most classical music composers either never got a chance to grow old, or they enjoyed a long life during which their abilities got stronger rather than weaker. This concert includes parts of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Art of Fugue, a piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Quartet in D Major, K. 575), and one by Felix Mendelssohn (Quartet in F Minor, Op. 80). Bach lived to sire 20 children, while Mozart and Mendelssohn died young. Tickets cost $20, or $15 when bought in advance at www. kindredspiritsarts.org, or in person at Books and Prints at Pear Alley (570/296 4777). Children under 15 will be admitted free. Kindred Spirits Arts Program, the producer, is a nonprofit organization of volunteers that has been bringing entertainment to area audiences and programs to school students since 2002. Visit www.kindredspiritsarts.org.

STARLIGHT, PA — During October, the Big D Art League will feature the work of Eleanor Curran in the gallery at the Inn at Starlight Lake, on Starlight Lake Road. A native New Yorker, Curran splits her time between Starlight and her Greenpoint-Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn. She has studied at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the City University of New York and the Bridgeview School of Fine Art. Her work has been displayed in New York art shows and galleries, including the Kourier Gallery, The Polish and Slavic Art Center, and the gallery of Berkley College’s Brooklyn Campus. Curran’s work at the Starlight Inn’s gallery will include an autumn photo of Starlight Lake that was a first-prize winner in a Hancock Herald competition. Curran will also be displaying a series of cityscape prints of original oil paintings depicting parts of Brooklyn, NY and Hancock, PA. The exhibit will also include work by other members of the Big D Arts and Crafts League. Visit www. innatstarlightlake.com or call 800/248-2519.

HONESDALE, PA — Christine Lavin and Don White will present “The Funny Side of the Street: A Night of Brighter Laughter” at The Cooperage at 7 p.m., sponsored by RiverFolk Concerts. “It doesn’t sound like a folk concert, it sounds like a comedy concert,” says White of his co-bills with Lavin. “We rehearse and we rehearse and then inevitably, she’ll throw something at me that I have no idea about, with a mischievous grin that lets me know she’s been thinking about it all afternoon. Just to see what will happen. And she’s taught me to do the same.” Contributed photo Lavin emerged from the Christine Lavin and Don White New York City singer/ songwriter scene in the late 1980s (along with Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, John Gorka, etc.). She has been at the forefront of finding and promoting extraordinary new talent, and Don White is the latest artist she has championed. “He’s such an original; I call him sometimes a ‘blue,’” Lavin says. “The first time we worked together he opened for me, and it’s the only time in my entire career that I opened with a ballad because he was so funny, the audience was so laughed out.” Sweet and savory snacks available for purchase. BYOB. The suggested donation is $20 pre-paid, $25 at the door. For reservations, email riverfolkconcerts@frontier.com or call 845/252-6783 or email. Visit www.riverfolkcon certs.com.

THE RIVER REPORTER

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION

By Jonathan Charles Fox

All work and no play…

ell, my active life here in the Upper Delaware River region is anything but dull. Just to be sure that I was properly defining my state of being, I looked it up, since “active” means different things to different people. According to my trusty dictionary, active means A: “being in physical motion.” Well that’s certainly true, but the definition does not include the words “whirling dervish,” which I feel like much of the time. B: “functioning, or capable of functioning.” Capable? Even though I’ve been writing this column for The River Reporter for more than seven years, I think the jury is still out on that one. C: “marked by energetic activity.” No mention of headless chickens at all. D: “requiring physical exertion.” In my world, that’s what coffee is for. As for the last entry? E: “erupting or liable to erupt: see ‘active volcano.’” I’ve been known to explode once or twice, but am always striving to keep my “enthusiasm” somewhere around a dull roar. The last week has certainly been an active one, and although summer is already a fading memory, fall is absolutely exploding all around us, both literally and figuratively. I’m so fortunate to have a job that by definition mixes business with pleasure. That said, it’s an active one and I often find myself working at a fairly hectic pace, lugging around the dog, my camera, pads, pens, tripods, water bowls and Milk Bones, not to mention plenty of personal baggage, which I’m aware should be left at the door, upon entering any one of the many entertainment venues that dot the landscape. When approached at an art gallery, for instance, with a “Hi, Jonathan! How are you?” I need to be reminded to blend the truth with a bit of fiction, since people are just being polite. In truth, I’m perfectly fine, but every so often, on the verge of exploding, like Mt. Etna. “No one wants to hear that,” I whisper to the pup, and make the rounds shaking hands, snapping photos and leaving whatever woes I might be feeling at the curb. If I am feeling blue, all I have to do is get out and meet up with you—the most vibrant, exciting and interesting people on the planet, and I sincerely mean that. “Remember this feeling,” I scribble in my notebook. Winter is coming. Unsure why I had been asked, I accepted an invitation to speak with members of the Liberty, NY Rotary Club last week, and although their focus was on the dog (go figure), the folks welcomed us both with open arms. I learned a lot about the organization (www.libertyrotary.org)

TRR photos by Jonathan Charles Fox

The country roads are a perfect example of mixing business with pleasure, especially at this time of year.

Prolific artist Naomi Teppich has side-by-side drawings and sculptures currently on display at the Nutshell Arts Center in Lake Huntington, NY.

Artists Nancy Wells and William Landau were both on hand at the Nutshell Arts Center last weekend to celebrate the opening of the “Cecily & Friends” exhibit running through November 8 in Lake Huntington, NY.

Richard Seehausen’s “Self-Portrait with Fish” is a fine example of the artist’s skills currently showing at the Nutshell Arts Center.

The Princeton Nassoons performed an hour of a capella tunes at the Event Gallery at Bethel Woods last weekend.

Bucolic scenes like this await around every corner of the Upper Delaware River region, reminding me of the many reasons I call the Catskills home.

Getting in the spirit of the season, even Dharma the Wonder Dog admired the pumpkins as we traversed the Upper Delaware River region, mixing business with pleasure.

and the many wonderful programs that they sponsor, support and encourage, doing good deeds for good people. As it turns out, the Rotarians expressed interest in what we do at the newspaper, with a focus on community involvement. I hope that I represented TRR with energy, and it’s my fervent wish that I appeared capable. I’m pretty sure that I did not explode, until making my exit and looking at my calendar of events. A visit to Lake Huntington, NY was on my schedule, so off we went on Saturday, (www.nutshellarts.com) where more than 15 local artists had gathered to pay tribute to local legend Cecily Fortescue by expressing themselves through their art. The group show, “Cecily and Friends,” features paintings, sculptures, pottery and everything in-between, showcasing what the Catskills is known for: creativity. The exhibit is (IMHO) a fantastic representation of just that and runs through November 8, so for those who were unable to attend, there is still plenty of time. Glancing at my hectic schedule, I took a deep breath and steered toward home and the Event Gallery (www.bethelwoodscenter.org) where the Princeton Nassoons were slated to perform. The group (www.nassoons. com) is an a capella musical ensemble that was “founded in 1941, singing their signature four-five and six-part harmonies alongside Ella Fitzgerald, The lettermen and Ben Folds.” They tour the globe three times a year and have performed for three presidents, royalty… and us. In between studying anthropology, finance, philosophy and electrical engineering, these young men find time to rehearse and perform tunes that range from The Beatles, Paul Simon and Disney classics, giving each a unique slant. The event was sponsored by another local treasure, the Shandalee Music Festival (www.shandalee.org), which once again lived up to its mission, which states that they “celebrate legendary performers, gifted young artists and memorable moments.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. A sneak peek at next week’s calendar is mind-boggling. No fewer than five towns have festivals and celebrations of the season slated to be simultaneously occurring over the course of the next few daze, and quite naturally, I’ve been asked to attend them all. Active? To be sure. Hectic? Undoubtedly. Requiring physical motion? Surely. Right along with the explosion of glorious color in the autumnal leaves, I might be on the verge, so I’ll collect my wits and do my best to create the illusion that I’m capable of covering it all. See you there!

Watershed alliance holds 5k

QUINUNK, PA — The Equinunk Watershed Alliance (EWA) will hold its third 5k run/walk benefit at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 17. The run/walk starts at the Equinunk Volunteer Fire Company Pavilion on Pine Mill Road and proceeds along Pine Mill Road and Equinunk (Crooked) Creek Road before returning to the firehall for awards and post-race festivities including complimentary food and beverage. EWA was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2011 in response to several flood

disasters over the past 10 years that have left our creeks and streams in dangerous disequilibrium. This poses a significant threat not only to people and property, but to the ecosystem as a whole. By creating a greater sense of awareness concerning the social, economic, cultural, historical and environmental impacts of these issues, we hope to gain funding to repair the damage caused by the flooding. Registration costs $20. Email jfletch@ binghamton.edu.or call 607/262-8326

Bog Day: a conservation celebration

RIVER TALK

By Sandy Long

n August, I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in a walk into the heart—or “eye”—of the Tannersville Cranberry Bog in Monroe County, PA. In addition to experiencing the “quaking bog mat” that is at the center of this special place, we also were able to observe the unique habitat characterized by sphagnum moss, carnivorous plants, black spruce, orchids and more. Some exciting news has been announced about the Bog, and the public will have the opportunity to celebrate it on October 18 at the Tannersville Bog Day event. Concluding a decades-long protection effort of this National Natural Landmark, the Nature Conservancy of PA, along with the Monroe County Conservation District, is celebrating the purchase of 116 acres of critical habitat. Patching together land parcels over the past 58 years, this acreage establishes surrounding protection of the bog and its high-quality water system. Fifteen property owners either donated or sold their lands to The Nature Conservancy or Pocono Township to protect the bog. Conversations with the Weiss family, who owned the 116acre parcel for 40 years, began 30 years ago, and a purchase transaction was finalized earlier this year. Ralph (Bud) Cook, senior project manager of The Nature Conservancy, described the bog as a unique natural gem reflecting the glacial activity that transformed the area millions of years ago. “It would be impossible to replace if it were destroyed,” he said. “Acquiring this final property is a tremendous conservation achievement.” Guided tours of the Weiss tract will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, winding through upland forest and open meadows overlooking Cranberry Creek. Guided boardwalk tours of the bog will be offered throughout the day as well. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, call 570/6213061.

Cranberry Creek, a high quality waterway, runs through the Tannersville Cranberry Bog and can be seen on bog tours led by Monroe County Conservation District staff.
