Did Jefferson hate Thanksgiving?

By FRITZ MAYER

REGION — Most people know that the first Thanksgiving took place in November 1621, in

what is now Plymouth, MA, when the recently-arrived Pilgrims mounted an autumn-harvest celebration with the Wampanoag Indians. What many may not know is that the harvest cel-ebration, which was not yet called Thanksgiving, had religious origins.

“Prayers of thanks and special thanksgiving ceremonies are com-mon among almost all religions after harvests and at other times,” accord-ing to the website, World Religion News (tinyurl.com/y72ve6al). “The Thanksgiving holiday’s history in North America is rooted in English traditions dating from the Protestant Reformation.”

Honesdale sounds off on Irving Cliff holiday displays

By LINDA DROLLINGER

HONESDALE, PA — Approximately 50 attendees made their way to the No-vember 14 Honesdale Borough Council

meeting at Honesdale High School’s LGI am-phitheater, some sporting black T-shirts with “Protect Our History” in white lettering.

Asked if their shirts were the uniform of an organization dedicated to preservation of Ir-ving Cliff holiday displays, one wearer said that it isn’t an organization, just a Facebook page conceived in the wake of a June letter sent to Honesdale Mayor Sarah Canfield by the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF).

FFRF is a nonprofit organization whose stated goal is to promote non-theism and de-fend the constitutional separation between religion and government. The organization’s letter threatened Honesdale officials with litigation if the holiday religious displays—a star at Christmas and a cross at Easter—are not removed from borough-owned property on Irving Cliff.

Michael Lehutsky, the first of 12 speakers who took the podium that night, is a lifelong resident of Wayne County, a former Honesdale Borough Council member, a former Wayne County District Attorney and one of more than 3,000 attorneys nationwide who work pro bono for the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). ADF is an American, conservative, Christian, nonprofit organization with the stated goal of advocating, training and fund-ing on the issues of “religious freedom, sanc-tity of life and marriage and family,” accord-ing to its website.

After offering his professional services on behalf of the borough, Lehutsky told the gathering that the FFRF letter is not a legal pleading and requires neither action nor re-sponse. He added that the judiciary has drawn a distinction between the star and cross, the cross being a more overt Christian religious symbol. Per Lehutsky, there is no case law history of objections to star symbols on pub-lic property.

But Lehutksy noted that the U.S. Supreme Court may soon hear a case brought by the American Humanist Association concern-ing the Peace Cross in Bladensburg, MD, that honors veterans of World War I. If an opinion is rendered in that case before the 2019 Easter season, Honesdale will have a legal precedent on which to base its actions.

Most of the speakers advocated continuing the holiday display tradition without regard for legal ramifications. Council president Mike Augello, however, said that it is not just the borough that can be held liable; council members and borough officials can be sued individually, leaving each responsible for his own legal defense costs, which would not be covered by the council’s professional liability insurance.

State Representative Jonathan Fritz pledged the resources of his office to fight FFRF, not-ing that FFRF is also challenging the PA House of Representatives’ practice of open-ing each session with prayer. He also offered to the borough the services of the Harrisburg legal team used by his caucus.

Not all the speakers endorsed continuation of the holiday displays. Lisa Glover observed that someone in Honesdale must have brought them to FFRF’s attention because they are in some way offensive. She suggested a middle path between offending some with continua-tion of the traditions and angering many with discontinuation of them. She suggested rotat-ing the star and cross with symbols of other religions and more generic, universal sym-bols, such as a candle. Her sentiments were echoed by Derek Williams.

Regardless of the opinions and suggestions expressed, all speakers received polite atten-tion and applause.

No vote was taken on the Smith ordinance, which has yet to be advertised. But Augello noted that some positive benefits have already accrued. Many people formerly unfamiliar with the workings of borough council now know what it does and understand that they can be part of Honesdale government.

Enviro-talk at Tusten town meeting

By ELIZABETH LEPRO

NARROWSBURG, NY — If you’ve been to the Tusten Community Hall recently—for voting, perhaps—you’ve likely seen the box of reusable bags set up on

the table by the door, with a sign, “One per household.” This initiative is one of many the Town of Tusten Coun-

cil, spearheaded by the Tusten Energy Committee, is boost-ing lately to aid the environment. The committee has been meeting frequently, according to councilmember Brandi Merolla, discussing initiatives that include LED light bulbs, a town compost, recycling and social media awareness.

The Town of Tusten is a New York Climate Smart Commu-nity, part of a state initiative to encourage towns and cities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and “improve climate resilience,” according to its website. Certain actions—such as creating a Tusten Energy Committee Facebook page—earn the town points, which can move it from a bronze Cli-mate Smart Community into the silver category and garner more state or federal funding.

The community hall was recently fitted with all-new LED light bulbs, and the committee is working on replac-ing street lights as well. “It’s a great way to save energy and have uniform lighting, healthy lighting, and you won’t have these horrible lights that keep going out and people can’t get them replaced,” she added.

Street lights throughout Narrowsburg have been going out in problematic numbers, council members have said, as winter brings earlier darkness. On Friday, Merolla at-tended a Design Symposium Day at the Cornelius Duggan School to meet with a design team that will focus on the town’s LED streetlight needs.

The committee is also considering a town anaerobic com-post system and creating a bike and walking path.

In another sustainable initiative that will also count to-ward the Climate Smart Communities challenge, council-member Jill Padua has overseen the Town of Tusten’s in-volvement in the Repair Cafe program, a nonprofit organi-zation started in the Netherlands with branches throughout the world. Repair Cafe encourages people to fix, rather than throw away, broken items including furniture, electronics, appliances and bicycles.

At Repair Cafe meetings, attendees will find tools, mate-rials and expert volunteers—such as woodworkers, electri-cians and general repair people—to fix damaged goods. The meetings are independent, but backed by the town board, the Chamber of Commerce and the Tusten Energy Committee. The Repair Cafe will meet four times a year, with the first meeting scheduled for January 26 at the community hall.

“It’s a really community-oriented project,” Padua said. “If you have something that needs to be fixed, you can bring it here.”

In other news from the meeting, councilmember Tony Ritter announced his formal withdrawal from any affilia-tion with the Republican party, citing a discrepancy with the party’s current ideology. “The question that has arisen is whether I am now a Democrat,” Ritter said, “and the an-swer is no.”

Operation Safe Holiday in Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania DUI Asso-ciation reminds motorists that law enforcement of-ficers across Pennsylvania will be participating in Operation Safe Holiday this year, from Thanksgiving eve through New Year’s Day. Police will be actively seeking out impaired as well as aggressive drivers to make the highways safe for everybody. All motor vehi-cle occupants are reminded to always wear a seat belt regardless of the length of the trip.

Across Pennsylvania, impaired driving incidents continue with often tragic consequences. There were 395 impaired driving crashes resulting in 10 fatalities during the Thanksgiving holiday period last year. For Pennsylvania law enforcement officers, November was the busiest month for impaired driving arrests in 2017, with police making 4,582 DUI arrests, exceed-ing the second busiest month, March, by more than 400 arrests.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-tion’s most current economic data indicates impaired drivers cost the U.S. more than $200 billion a year in lost productivity, medical costs, property damage and quality of life.

Sullivan deputy manager exits MONTICELLO, NY — Sullivan County Manager

Josh Potosek released the following statement on No-vember 15: “Deputy Sullivan County Manager Dan Depew was offered and has accepted the chief execu-tive officer position with Orange County Medical Ser-vices Organization, a newly formed healthcare agency in the Hudson Valley. He will begin his duties with that private company in the coming weeks, and so he has informed the county his last day with us will be Friday, November 23. We deeply appreciate his year-and-a-half tenure serving the citizens and employees of the county, and we warmly wish him all the best as he takes on this exciting leadership opportunity.

“The position remains, and shortly I will begin the process to recruit a new deputy county manager, as 2019 promises to be a busy, momentous year for Sul-livan County.”

Depew said, “I am very proud of what was accom-plished in the county during my tenure as deputy county manager, but this opportunity was one I could not pass up. I look forward to serving the Hudson Val-ley through my new role in the private sector.”

Reservoir recreational use up REGION, NY —- The New York City Department

of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced on November 16 that a total of 1,660 boats were used in 2018 through its recreational boating program in the Catskills, including 935 canoes and kayaks that were rented to visitors by local businesses. Rental boats made up the majority of boats used on the four reser-voirs for the third consecutive year, underscoring the program’s support of local tourism and outdoor recre-ation businesses.

Overall participation in the recreational boating program remained steady in 2018, despite record rainfall that drenched the watershed for much of the summer and early fall. The 1,660 boats that were used throughout the season reflected a slight increase from the 1,646 boats that were used in 2017. Rentals contin-ued to lead the way as 56% of all visitors chose to rent a boat from one of seven businesses in the Catskills that store pre-cleaned canoes and kayaks alongside the reservoirs.

The recreational rental boating program at Cannon-sville, Neversink, Pepacton and Schoharie reservoirs complements the traditional use of metal rowboats for fishing, which has been permitted for decades on all New York City reservoirs.

Regular water-quality monitoring at each of these reservoirs has shown no impact from recreational boating. DEP’s invasive species experts have surveyed every boat launch site and found no sign of aquatic plants or animals that can harm water quality.

Smallwood man arrestedLIBERTY, NY — On November 13, the New York

State Police in Liberty arrested Donald McBride, 41, of Smallwood for grand larceny third degree (a D felony), grand larceny fourth degree (E felony) and scheme to defraud first degree (E Felony).

McBride is a contractor doing business as “Mr. and Mrs. Plumbing Service” based in Smallwood, NY. He is accused of defrauding customers by accepting mon-ey for work to be done at residences that was never started nor completed.

McBride was arrested at the State Police barracks in Liberty and arraigned before the Honorable Judge Kirk Orseck at the Town of Liberty Court. He was re-manded to Sullivan County Jail with no bail.

The investigation remains open. The public is en-couraged to contact the state police in Liberty at 845/292-6600, if they have any information pertinent to this investigation.

THE RIVER REPORTER NOVEMBER 22-28, 2018 • 3

Thanksgiving was not universally celebrated in the U.S. until much later. Presidents George Washington and John Adams both declared Thanksgiving a national holiday during their terms in office. But when Thomas Jefferson be-came President, he ended that tradition.

Jefferson was a staunch supporter of the concept of the separation of church and state. Shortly after he was sworn to office, he re-ceived a letter from a group of Baptists in Con-necticut seeking his views on religious liber-ties. He thought it was a good opportunity to ex-plain his decision on Thanksgiving. He wrote to then Attorney General Levi Lincoln, “I have long wished to find [a reason to say] why I do not proclaim fastings & thanksgivings, as my predecessors did.” He believed “fastings & thanksgivings” were the last vestiges of British colonial rule over the states.

He was speaking, however, at a time when his political opposition, the Federalists, had la-beled him an atheist, and Lincoln advised him not to include such information in the letter to the Baptists. Instead he wrote in the letter the famous line, that he believes in “a wall of sepa-ration between Church and State.”

Jefferson, however, did not hate Thanksgiv-ing. He actually declared a day of “thanksgiv-ing and prayer” earlier in his career when he was serving as governor of Virginia 1779. But he did not believe he could do the same thing as president without violating the First Amend-ment, which says in part, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…”.

After Jefferson left office, his successor, James Madison in 1815 revived the tradition of declaring Thanksgiving a holiday. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed thanksgiving a permanent national holiday with a fixed date for all states in 1863.

Sullivan Teamsters overwhelmingly reject county’s off erBy FRITZ MAYER

MONTICELLO, NY — More than 90% of the members of the Teamsters Local 445 voted last week to reject the contract offered by Sullivan County management.

The 510 members of the bargaining unit have been working without a contract since the end of 2017.

Teamsters business agent Jerry Ebert had urged members to vote “no” on the contract because the increase in wages of-fered was not sufficient. The county offered a raise of $1,050 for this year, and a 1.9% increase for next year. Ebert says be-cause employees have received raises totaling 4.5% over the past six years, the employees need a better offer to vote “yes.”

Employees are looking for a $1,400 increase for this year, and $2,000 for next year. In April, Ebert and supporters staged a rally at the government center focusing on the healthcare benefits for county employs. At the time he identified the members of the union: “We’re the ones who take your 911

calls, who take care of your Department of Motor Vehicles business, who provide child protective services, who staff the Adult Care Center. He added, “And we are paid on average $10,000 per year less than surrounding towns, villages, coun-ties, correctional facilities and school districts.”

Elsewhere on the labor front, Sullivan County Sheriff Mike Schiff spoke out during the public comment period of the monthly county legislative meeting on November 15, and asked that employees who work at the county jail be given raises. Schiff said after the downturn in 2008, all county em-ployees did more with less including the correction unit. “But in that time period until now, their salaries have had a great gap come into play. We’ve gone from about a $1,500 difference between the road patrol and the jail to about a $20,000 differ-ence. That is not acceptable. These are valued employees, who probably have the most difficult job in the county. Every day they deal with uncomfortable—and many times disgusting—issues in the jail.”

State grants more than $900,000 for Little Lake Erie culvertBy ELIZABETH LEPRO

NARROWSBURG, NY — The New York Department of Transportation has granted the Town of Tusten $921,342 to repair the Little Lake Erie culvert.

Councilmember Jane Luchsinger, who has been over-seeing grant applications through the Bridge New York program, received word on November 13 that the second design submitted to the state-run program has been ac-cepted. For clarification, the culvert—which is a tunnel to funnel water underneath the road—is typically re-ferred to as the Little Lake Erie Bridge or dam, and is located near the end of Main St.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo created the Bridge NY program in 2015, and on November 13 awarded more than $262.2 million in enhanced funding to municipal governments throughout the state, according to a press release. Tusten will join 164 other individual projects in 95 communities in New York. Not including this most recent funding, the state program has invested $300 million in bridges and culverts in the state.

This recent announcement seems to bring a saga of complicated federal-funding maneuvering to an end

for the town.In January, 2017, the town received $198,000 from the

New York Department of Transportation to repair the culvert. “Our project was selected through a competi-tive process, and the funding awarded is equal to 100% of the estimate to replace the bridge,” Luchsinger wrote in The River Reporter that year. “We expect that con-struction will begin this spring. We are pleased to be able to save Tusten taxpayers this expense as a result of the grant award.”

Later that year, however, the state rejected the town’s design proposal because it didn’t meet federal regula-tions. The grant money is made up of federal funds fun-neled through the state. “When you receive those funds, then you have to follow the rules and regulations of the feds. It changes everything,” Luchsinger said at the No-vember Tusten Town Council meeting Monday night.

On the second go-round, the town contracted with an engineering firm to reassess the repairs. After taking into account the need for certain federally mandated surveys and design requirements, the firm reapplied for the grant on behalf of the town, with a much higher sum in mind.

That nearly $1 million grant was awarded last week, and construction will begin soon. “It will take a little while, just like [the Narrowsburg Bridge],” Luchsinger said.

Greg Goldstein honoredBy FRITZ MAYER

MONTICELLO, NY — Greg Gold-stein, a former Sullivan Coun-ty legislator and Town of Nev-

ersink supervisor, was honored on No-vember 16 with the 2018 SYDA Founda-tion Community Service Award at the government center. The award comes with a $5,000 gift, which Goldstein said he would donate to five local nonprofit organizations.

Goldstein is president and owner of the Misner Insurance Agency, which has four locations in Orange and Sulli-van County and employs more than 20 people. Goldstein has been very active in civic life and has served as president of the Fallsburg Central School District Board and chairman of the Republican Party in Sullivan County. He currently

serves as chairperson of the executive committee for the Orange and Sulli-van Boys and Girls Club Celebrity Din-ner and has helped raise more than $40,000 a year to support programs for young people. He is on the board of SullivanArc, whose mission is to en-able persons of all ages with disabilities to live as contributing, valued members of the community.

Goldstein volunteers his time and expertise to other causes and organi-zations, including the WSUL/WVOS Heart-a-Thon, which raises funds for the Catskills Regional Medical Center cardiac center. The SYDA Foundation, located in the Town of Fallsburg since 1979, is a not-for-profit organization that makes Siddha Yoga meditation available to students around the world.

Honesdale heroin dealer sentencedBy FRITZ MAYER

HONESDALE, PA — Richard Garth Weiss, age 46, of Honesdale, was sentenced on November 15 to 28 months to seven years in a state correctional in-

stitution for possession of heroin with intent to deliver. Early on the morning of April 30, the Pennsylvania

State Police pulled over a vehicle in Salem Township for

a minor vehicle violation. Weiss was a passenger in the vehicle. An officer saw a hypodermic needle at the feet of the defendant.

When Weiss got out of the vehicle he attempted to run away. State police officers chased and ultimately tackled him. Officers discovered that Weiss was in possession of 92 unopened packets of heroin. A subsequent search of the defendant’s cell phone revealed several text mes-sages requesting that Weiss deliver heroin to the sender.

District Attorney Patrick Robinson said, “Richard Garth Weiss is a sure enough for-profit drug dealer. He has a criminal history of seven prior convictions, includ-ing three prior felony convictions, spanning 26 years. This defendant richly deserves the sentence he received. The distribution of heroin must be dealt with severely. The Pennsylvania State Police are to be congratulated for their alert and professional investigation.”

Hankins Pond Dam decision continued By DAVID HULSE

HONESDALE, PA — There’s no decision yet, but they’re still talking. That was the message as the Wayne County Commissioners discussed the fate

of the historic Hankins Pond Dam on November 15.County Solicitor Lee Krause appeared on November

15 to announce that the Wayne County Court of Com-mon Pleas has accepted a joint motion—from Wayne and two state agencies—to continue a planned hearing on the ordered further breaching of the Hankins Pond Dam in Mount Pleasant Township. The hand-laid stone structure was constructed to provide water to the former Delaware & Hudson Canal and dates back to the 1830s. The canal and its appurtenances are a National Histor-ic Landmark.

The county wants to retain the historic dam, which is

owned by the PA Fish & Boat Commission (F&BC), along with the 123-acre pond. The PA Department of Environ-mental Protection (DEP) has called for a 150-foot-wide swath of the dam to be demolished to protect the safety of people and property downstream, should there be dam failure.

The county and the agencies asked the court to grant additional time to complete the necessary hydraulic and structural engineering studies.

Dubbed a high-hazard dam by DEP, Hankins Pond was drained in 1969 via a small existing breach of the dam. However, despite the dam’s survival without incident during numerous subsequent hurricanes and recorded floods, DEP claims the dam could still fail if too much wa-ter pools behind the breach. DEP directed the F&BC to go ahead with the demolition of the dam in early September.

Earth moving equipment moved onto the site and the F&BC contractor was nearly ready to start the demoli-

tion when the county petitioned the court. A temporary injunction to halt the work for 60 days was granted, while the three parties negotiated a deal to find an alternative to the demolition and transfer the property to the county.

A remnant of the D&H Canal, Hankins Pond, among others in PA and New York, helped feed the slack-water navigation canal in areas where adjacent streams were not available or did not reliably provide enough water.

During the last two months, the DEP and PFBC agreed to allow the county to conduct the engineering studies to try to find an alternate way of averting the risk to down-stream life and property. The studies have gotten under-way, but will be interrupted by winter weather.

The parties originally were due back in court next week, but agreed more time was needed. According to a county statement, the Court set a new hearing for May of 2019, if the three entities cannot come to an amicable agreement before then.

Clearing the record in EldredBy SUSAN WADE

ELDRED, NY — “We have to do a bet-ter job of educating.” That’s a state-ment you’d expect from the school

superintendent when talking about the students for whom he is responsible. But when he made that statement, Dr. John Morgano was referring to the public.

A number of erroneous statements were made at the November school board meet-ing, and Morgano tried to set the record straight following the meeting. The most significant was regarding the planned tax increase for the 2018-19 budget. When acknowledging the increase, board presi-dent Carol Bliefernich said that it would be a “one-time” event, the purpose of which was to reinforce or restore the fund balance. Not so, says Morgano. A tax increase cannot be implemented for the purpose of increasing the fund balance. The fund balance can be replenished only when revenues exceed expenses. Morga-no said that the district has gotten the ex-pense side of the equation in order, due to the reduction of teachers, which is now in line with the current student enrollment. He said that the former cadre of teachers

could serve an enrollment of 700. District treasurer Caleb Russell stated

that funds received from taxpayers is the same as at 2011 levels. The district raised $11.4 million in taxes this year, ap-proximately the same amount as was col-lected in 2010-2011. Though the student enrollment at that time was about 700, costs have risen. The two heavy hitters percentage-wise are health insurance and salaries.

It was around the 2010 timeframe that the then-current administration started to dip into the fund balance for a variety of reasons, which led to its depletion in 2018. This kept tax increases at modest levels but was not viable long-term.

A fund balance is more than a “rainy day” or slush fund. In addition to the myriad of issues that can arise to play havoc with the best-laid plans, one of the most significant unknowns while prepar-ing the school budget is the cost of special education. A student with significant special needs can be enrolled at any time during the year, long after the budget has been developed, and the district is man-dated to meet and fund that student’s needs. The funds must be paid out in ad-vance of any relief coming from the state.

Morgano commented that, in addition, state aid for special education may not keep up with its cost. The state mandates that a fund balance be maintained at a minimum of 2% of a school’s operating budget. Asked why he did not correct the record during the meeting, particu-larly regarding the purpose of the tax in-crease, Morgano responded, “I knew that is not what she [Bliefernich] intended to say based on my prior discussions with her. I don’t feel it appropriate to correct my boss in public. We will clarify the matter at the next meeting.”

There was discussion among the school board members regarding the effect on taxpayers of the former Eldred Preserve property. Scott Hallock stated that his un-derstanding of the tax situation was that the assessed value of that property had been lowered to reflect the demolition of buildings at the site prior to construction of the new facilities. Fortunately, this is not the case. According to Town of High-land assessor Lorry King, the buildings were indeed demolished, but the assess-ment was not decreased. The board stated that the coming on-line of the Millennium Pipeline and the increase to the tax base which will result would help mitigate the

effect of the tax increase on individuals. The amount of the tax to be collected will be allocated to a larger base, though the amount by which that base will increase will not be known for several months. Also stated incorrectly at a prior meeting was the number of students enrolled in the junior-senior high school. As of Sep-tember 14, enrollment stood at 516, with 275 in the elementary school and 241 in grades seven through 12.

TRR photo by Susan WadeDr. John Morgano, Superintendent of the Eldred Central School District, declined to discuss specifics regarding the amount of the pending tax increase, which the school board acknowledged will exceed the state-mandated tax cap.


New telecom provider courts Lumberland By DAVID HULSE

GLEN SPEY, NY — It might be the first hint of change, or it might be a new negotiating point for

the town, but it appears there is a new kid in the Lumberland telecommunica-tions market.

Ray Brzezkinski and Terry Flood, rep-resentatives of FirstLight, a long-line re-gional telecom provider in New York and New England, introduced their company to the town board last week.

Brzezkinski, the company’s senior sales director, described the alternate provider as the largest regional provider, with 14,000 route miles of company-owned fi-ber-optic cable in place and recent growth exceeding 400%. “We’re very local and we offer new technology that you may not be familiar with,” he said

Flood, a former Frontier employee who lives in Orange County, said the com-pany is already contracting with the El-dred Central School District (ECS) for its buildings in Eldred and Glen Spey, plus Camp Lokauda and Brookwood Camp, and has cable in place along Haring and Proctor roads. “We’re right outside on the poles,” he said. “We’re not Frontier, not

copper. We own our fiber network, and it’s not susceptible to weather problems like copper,” he added.

The town government currently has Frontier telephone service and Time-Warner internet service, which is now called Spectrum. But the state Public Service Commission (PSC) has dropped its franchise agreement with Charter Communications, the company that owns Spectrum, which amounts to ordering Charter to leave the state by the end of this year. Charter and the PSC were still negotiating in September, but if the order stands, Frontier is rumored to assume the Spectrum service, which includes Time-Warner Cable.

FirstLight is not now offering TV ser-vice. A town government switch of pro-viders would not impact cable TV sub-scribers until a competitive TV franchise provider appears. But Lumberland gov-ernment has a history with Time-Warner that might make a switch to a competitive service more attractive.

In September 2016, Supervisor Jenny Mellan announced that an audit of Time-Warner Cable (TWC) franchise payments had revealed that the town had received monthly franchise payments at a rate

of 3% over a six-year period, when the agreement the town had signed called for 5%. She then said the missing 2% over the period amounted to $43,748, according to the forensic audit conducted by the Cohen Law Group of New York City. Time-War-ner later confirmed that the company owed the town “a little over $40,000” for a multi-year underpayment.

Mellan did not attend the town board’s November meeting, and the board did not comment on the FirstLight presentation.

In other business, the board noted last week’s final adoption of the town’s $2,552,530 budget and the fire depart-ment contract which provides $210,000 in the first year of a new three-year deal. The board also approved a request for a school speed zone reduction at the McK-enzie School, the $41,823 purchase of a new constables’ all-wheel-drive patrol vehicle, $5,075 for the purchase of seven constables’ safety vests under a 50-50 grant with the U.S. Department of Trans-portation and an agreement to allow ECS to purchase road salt from the town. The board also noted the Thanksgiving Day community dinner at the town hall, 1 to 5 p.m.

Public input sought for proposed Lackawaxen trail

By FRITZ MAYER

HONESDALE, PA — The Wayne & Pike Trails & Waterways Alliance (WPTWA) has established a feasibility study to look at the possibility of developing a trail along the Lack-

awaxen River that will run between Honesdale and Hawley. The study will examine land ordinances, river access possibilities, and potential routes and obstacles that may impact the project.

The Wayne County Commissioners issued a press release on November 15 that says, “As one of the first orders of business, the study committee and Woodland Design Associates of Honesdale, the planning consultant for the project, created a 10-question survey. The questionnaire wants to know what outdoor activi-ties both residents and visitors regularly pursue, whether they might visit a multi-use trail along the Lackawaxen River, how they would rank the various uses of such a trail and what ame-nities they might expect to find there. The survey, which also has a section for comments, is available online at https://bit.ly/2QdCqCg.

The Wayne County Commissioners support the feasibility study and have applied for and received a grant for it from the Pennsyl-vania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The Wayne County Community Foundation (WCCF) is serving as the agreed non-profit organization that collects funds that are used for the required match for the feasibility study. WTPWA with the help of WCCF raised the $40,000 match.

The WPTWA is made up of four groups: The Stourbridge Rail and Trail group, along with the Honesdale River Project and Hon-esTrails and the Wallenpaupack Trails and Lock 31 Group. The groups are pursuing a trail system throughout the Honesdale-Hawley corridor connecting the area’s parks and woodlands.

After Life

DR. PUNNYBONE

With the ascendency of Small Business Saturday, consumers are urged to shop at small, local busi-nesses—and in particular on the Saturday after

Black Friday. With both Black Friday and Small Business Saturday coming up, we thought a reminder of the benefits of shopping at local venues vs. national chains and internet stores would be in order.

What are the benefits of shopping at local, independent businesses? According to the American Independent Busi-ness Alliance (AMIBA), there are many. AMIBA says, “The casual encounters you enjoy at neighborhood–scale businesses and the public spaces around them build rela-tionships and community cohesiveness.” Also, shopping lo-cal strengthens the local economy. According to AMIBA, a dollar spent at a local business returns three times as much to the local economy as a dollar spent at a chain or big-box store. And if the dollar is spent at an online mega-store like Amazon, only a penny comes back to the community—and that’s only if the package is delivered by a local driver.

That data point comes mostly from information devel-oped by an organization called Civic Economics. In 2002, a book store, Book People, and music store, Waterloo, in an Austin, TX neighborhood were facing the prospect of a Bor-der’s bookstore opening near their shops, with $3 million in subsidies provided by the city. The owners of Book Peo-ple and Waterloo were asked by Civic Economics to fill out a work sheet, “detailing how money moves through their businesses with a particular emphasis on how much of it re-circulates in the Austin economy in the form of profit to local owners, wages paid to local employees, the procure-ment of goods and services from other local firms and char-itable giving.” They compared that to public information available on Borders stores and found, “At both Waterloo and Book People, $45 out of every $100 spent in the store re-mained in the Austin economy. At a typical Borders store, that figure was just $13; the rest disappearing from the lo-cal economy entirely at the end of the business.” Ultimately,

In praise of small, local businessesthe City of Austin dropped the Borders project.

In another study, the partners at Civic Economics, Matt Cunningham and Dan Houston, looked specifically at book-sellers in San Francisco and compared the performance of independent stores to bookstore chains and internet book-sellers. They determined that the independent shops create 2.14 jobs for every $1 million in revenue, while the figure for chain stores was 1.27 jobs, and the figure for internet plus chain stores was .39 jobs.

Independently owned businesses also help to give com-munities their unique character, and according to mul-tiple surveys conducted by Consumer Reports, shoppers consistently rank independently owned stores over chains when shopping for items such as electronics, pharmaceu-ticals and appliances. Owners of local independent busi-nesses are typically more heavily invested in local issues than the people who run chains.

We could list the names of the owners of dozens of local businesses such as car dealerships, grocery stores, hard-ware stores and many others because we have seen them out in the community. Off the top of our heads, we don’t know the name of the person or people who own the Mc-Donalds franchises in Honesdale, Liberty, or Monticello. Local food is probably the segment of the buy-local move-ment that has the most followers.

Again, local food offers may benefits. It’s often free of pes-ticides, because local growers often use natural pest repel-lants to protect the products they grow. Because local food is not shipped long distances and distribution requires less fossil fuel, it is friendlier to the environment. The food is also usually fresher and healthier than food that has been transported across the country or from overseas.

So as we move into the holiday season, remember to check out local businesses, farmers and restaurants. Keep the economy of your friends and neighbors healthy by shop-ping local.

A call for the crossbowLast year I was afflicted with Lyme. I became stiff, fa-

tigued, my mind felt a little slow and foggy, and I lost 1/3 of my strength. Although it did not stop me from success-fully hunting, it did change my life. I had to have my com-pound bow draw lowered from 70 # [pounds] to 48 #, and it was still difficult to pull back. If I continued to practice with my bow daily I had to learn to live with shoulder and neck pain daily. I started using my crossbow regu-larly with no pain, and I can consistently make an accu-rate 50-yard shot and started practicing out to 75 yards with great results. I shot my first deer with the crossbow this November. Good, clean, ethical shot that did more damage than my rifle. The deer did not go far before it dropped, making recovery easy. Considering all the neg-ativity in the media about guns, the crossbow is a great way to bring young people into hunting. The crossbow is easy to use and accurate for a ethical kill. I know NY should take the crossbow off our muzzleloader license and add the crossbow to the archery license. Also, I am all for extending or adding a specific compound or primi-tive bow season —maybe then the bow hunters in NY will campaign to have crossbows usable October 1.

I am also sending this to the DEC and my local reps to Albany.

ROOT CELLARBy Kristin Barron

COMMUNITY ACHIEVERS

One dark afternoon you notice a few lazy flakes in the air. They melt before they hit the ground. “It’s snowing,” you shout. Everyone looks out the

window. “Well, look at that,” they say. But mostly just the small children are enthusiastic about this “first snow.” They ask if they might be able to build a snowman. This is stage one of the first snow.

The second kind of first snow is the kind that sticks. We wake up one morning and the room is brighter… something has changed. We look out the win-dow to see a blanket of white. For some people this is the real “first snow.”

This year, the first sticking snow came to my neck of the river valley on October 18. The little kids put on their coats and boots and hats and gloves. They danced and stomped around in the new snow and asked if they could go sledding yet. But the ground was warm and the roads were salted, so this first snow melted quickly.

Driving home from work on Monday morning I encoun-tered our first snow banks—more like snow knobs at the side of the road—left over from the brief squall late Sun-day night. There were reports of accidents and cars off the road as people learned or remembered how to drive in the snow. (This is a raw and abrupt start to winter.) The morning was windy. A squirrel scampered across the road, but it looked more as if it were tumbling like an inside-out umbrella. The whispery lines of snow my hus-band calls “trucker’s bones” undulated across the road. This is the snow that makes you realize that if you don’t have snow tires yet, it is time to go get some. The little kids, upon observing the snow banks, ask if it is time to make snowballs yet.

Some people wait for the first full-blown storm of the season to designate the first snow. That is what’s in the forecast at the time of this writing, on Thursday, Novem-ber 15. Schools have dismissed early. Varying reports predict anywhere between three to 12 inches across the region, with periods of sleet and freezing rain. Dop-pler radar shows the ugly mess moving steadily toward us. And now the little kids are asking if they will have school tomorrow.

I suspect they will be off and will quite possibly have the opportunity to fulfill all their other requests for snowmen and sledding and snowball fights.

For most of us, it takes a while to get used to the idea of winter. It takes time to reconcile to bad roads and cancel-lations. It takes time to remember all the extra trappings of winter like boots and hats and gloves. I, myself, resist the winter coat until the last possible day.

Think about it. The gradual phases of the first snow are like having a baby. After all, you get nine months to pre-pare and get used to the idea of the drastic change about to take effect in your life. On a smaller scale, of course, the stages of the first snow prepare you for winter.

And so it starts. Best wishes to all for a safe and healthy winter season. Don’t forget to make a snowman or two.

Time and the Valleys receives Make a Difference grant GRAHAMSVILLE, NY — The Time and the Valleys

Museum has received a $2,000 Make a Difference Fund grant from the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan. At the foundation’s annual reception, Richard Coombe, president of the Time and the Valleys Museum and his wife, Phyllis Coombe, chairperson of the muse-um’s program committee, received a check from founda-tion president and CEO Elizabeth Rowley.

The grant will be used to fund the cost of field trips for schools in Sullivan County to one of the museum’s two educational programs. In “Tunnels, Toil and Trouble: Upstate Water and NYC,” students explore the interac-tive exhibition on New York City’s Water supply system, see water contaminants, make water dirty and then clean it again, understand the importance of watersheds and experience the losses of those who had their lands taken to build the water system. In “Water Through His-tory,” students identify fossils, discover the importance of waterwheels for early industries, handle native ar-tifacts and learn about the importance of clean water through history.

The cost of each program is $3 per student, with teachers and chaperones admitted free. The grant will enable 666 students from around Sullivan County to

visit the museum for free. For more information visit www.timeandthevalleysmuseum.org.

Nonprofit Innovation Awards announcedBETHEL, NY — Linda C. Hartley, co-principal of

H2Growth Strategies, announced the five Nonprofit In-novation Award winners at the annual reception for the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan. The awards marked the final distribution of the funds raised by the Nonprofit Leadership Executive Committee, which produced the annual Nonprofit Leadership Summits at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts from 2010 to 2016.

The first prize of $5,000 was awarded to Catskill Region-al Medical Center (CRMC) for its Warrior Kids Program, a community program that teaches healthy behaviors to children and youth development staff. In partnership with Ayo Fitness, the Boys & Girls Club, and Eat Smart New York, the program aims to reduce obesity.

Second prize winners, each for $2,500, were awarded to Catskill Mountainkeeper’s FarmHearts program, which helps local farms remain viable; and Ride 2 Survive, which provides financial supplements to cover trans-portation expenses for cancer patients for medical ap-pointments.

Honorable mentions of $1,000 each were awarded to ENGN, a civic creative center in Callicoon for its “What Makes a Village Pop Up,” a program that collects data from youth in Monticello in places where they already congregate, and Literacy Volunteers of Sullivan County, for its new, free, online tutor-training program, “Intake to Outcomes.”

ROBERT RHETT AUSTELL IIIOn November 14, 2018, Robert Rhett Aus-

tell III, age 65, of Haverford, PA and Bar-ryville, NY, died peacefully with his wife and children at his side. Rhett is survived by his 93-year-old father, R. Rhett Austell, Jr. Of York, ME, and stepmother Carol Mc-Carty Austell. He is survived by his wife of 43 years Barbara Austell, children Kate Austell Elortegui and R. Rhett Austell and their spouses Dan Elorte-gui and Sarah Caldwell, and grandchildren Sebastian and Benjamin Elortegui and Tess and Thora Austell. He is also survived by his sisters Liz Straight and Sarah Cart. Rhett grew up in Briarcliff Manor, NY, and attended The Hotchkiss School. He received his undergraduate degree from Williams College and his MBA from Columbia University. Rhett spent his early professional career in marketing and advertising, but found his vocation in pursuit of good government. He was Chair of the NJ Common Cause organization in the 1990s. After moving from Ridgewood, NJ, to the Philadelphia area in 1996, Rhett formed a not-for-profi t, non-partisan organiza-tion, PoliSci Financials, to examine the fi nancing of political candidates in the state of NJ. After retiring several years ago, Rhett found another interest he pursued with his children: marathon running. From age 55 to 63 he ran 14 marathons all around the U.S. and in Paris, France. He planned to run next year in the San Diego marathon for the second time, to celebrate 10 years of marathon running. He lived an active life and was very proud of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with his daughter Kate, her husband Dan and their friends in 2011. While he had many hobbies and interests, Rhett’s family was the most important interest in his life. He was always ready to drop what he was doing to be with them. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. Contributions in Rhett’s memory may be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Donor Services, PO Box 98018, Washington DC 20090-8018 or to the ImmunoRevolution Fund at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center, Attn. Penn Medicine Development, 3535 Market Street, Suite 750, Philadelphia, PA 19104.

I thought we were still in leaf-falling season—but ap-parently it is snow falling season. Nearly a foot of snow came down in Narrowsburg last Thursday eve-

ning. My pumpkins and mums are buried under a thick coating of ice and snow. It is early, but ready or not, the first major snowfall puts me right into the holiday spirit.

In all weather, my family spends a lot of time outdoors, taking note of the natural world and having adventures in the woods. In recent weeks, we’ve collected a bunch of freshwater clam shells from a creek that runs next to our house, spotted a grouse (or was it a pheasant?) rest-ing near the Ten Mile River, and as always we’ve been “cleaning up the woods” of fallen branches and enjoying plenty of campfires. Now the sleds are out, too. Hunting season opened November 17, so we wear our blaze orange

stocking caps when enjoying activities outdoors this time of year.

Delaware Valley Arts Alliance’s annual year-end group exhibition “Art in Sixes” is open to the public now at the gallery at 37 Main St. The show is candy for the eyes, with over 600 mini works of art on display, and for sale at affordable prices. DVAA is closed Thanksgiving Day, but otherwise open Tuesday through Sunday throughout the holidays.

After Thanksgiving is behind us, the Tusten Youth Commission and Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce are hosting a fun-filled day to kick off the Christmas season, Narrowsburg-style. “Christmas Magic on Main Street” will take place Saturday, December 1 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. There will be free horse-drawn carriage rides throughout town and free holiday photos by professional photographer Memory Lane Photography. Santa will be there, and there will be free goodies for kids. The tree will be lit at 6 p.m. on the Main Street observation deck. You can bet we’ll be there.

Indie Mart, a holiday pop-up shop featuring region-al makers of a wide variety of products, returns to the DVAA’s second floor at 37 Main St. on two weekends: De-cember 7 to 9 and 14 to 16. It is a great feeling to buy items directly from the maker, rather than to shop online or at a big chain store. I’ve come to rely on Indie Mart for pick-ing up special, handmade gifts this time of year.

The snow is here. The tree is getting ready to be lit. There’s no denying it: the holiday season has officially begun!

The little village by the creeksInitially, Wayne Borough was established in 1853 from

portions of Scott and Preston Townships. The town was renamed Starrucca in 1873 and sits at the confluence of the Starrucca and Shadigee creeks. Starrucca was slow to develop, from the time it was settled in the 1700s, un-til Henry Sampson built a gristmill there in 1818, shortly followed by a sawmill. Like much of Wayne County, Star-rucca was surrounded by lush forests, and its first indus-try was lumbering. The logs were hauled to Hale’s Eddy on the Delaware River 12 miles away and floated down the river to market in New Jersey and Philadelphia.

The borough’s boom years began in 1844 with the open-ing of the first tannery and lasted roughly 40 years until the supply of hemlock bark was exhausted. Starrucca’s in-dustrial period continued with the establishment of sev-eral “acid factories,” which manufactured wood alcohol, acetate of lime and charcoal. With the decline of manu-facturing, the borough turned to dairy farming and the population dropped. As of the 2010 census, Starrucca’s population was 173.

‘We Are Loud Together’HURLEYVILLE, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Al-

liance (DVAA), in its role as Arts Council for Sullivan County recently, convened a meeting of arts organiza-tions with the intent of exploring shared interests in ful-filling the organizations’ missions. The meeting was held at the Hurleyville Arts Centre.

Invite a veteran to churchYULAN, NY — Children of the Religious Education program at St. Anthony’s in Yulan participated in an “Invite a

Veteran to Church” event Sunday, November 11. The children honored local veterans with a prayer service and pre-sented them with cards, thanking them for their service. The young participants also interviewed the veterans, asking them questions about their branch of service, what time period they served and for an interesting story or fact about their time. To top off the event, veterans signed autographs in the children’s “passport” booklets.

JUDE’S CULINARY JOURNEYBy JUDE WATERSTON

I have been thinking lately of how my Thanksgiving cel-ebrations have morphed over time.

It was so very many years ago—I must’ve been six or seven—that my dad had a friend whose office overlooked the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Our family would drive into Manhattan from Long Island to stand excitedly in that quiet room of floor-to-ceiling glass windows to watch the enormous, resplendent balloons pass right be-fore our eyes. Afterward, there was the drive down to Chi-natown and an early evening supper of egg rolls, spare-ribs, egg drop soup—wonton for my mom—and shrimp in lobster sauce. Fortune-cookie wrappers and half-eaten cookies lay scattered on the white table cloth as we pushed our chairs back and headed for home.

My mother died when I was 20 and my father remarried a couple of years later. I recall being invited to their house in Westchester by “that woman” for only one Thanksgiv-ing and she served capon. To say I was disappointed when she placed that bird on the table is an understatement. Then again, it probably didn’t have all that much to do with the fowl after all.

After Dad’s divorce, we began a yearly trek with him to Philadelphia to share the meal with my brother Buzz and his family. My sister-in-law Wendy and I discussed reci-pes and planned the menu weeks in advance. Wendy made the most perfect burnished, moist bird, and my brother cooked a duck served with two fruit-based sauces. Every-one in the family contributed something. My dad made a sprightly, piquant raw cranberry relish, and I offered a composed salad and wild mushroom gravy. One nephew served up a pumpkin cheesecake and the other brought a bouquet of fresh flowers. And my sister Janet, the baker extraordinaire, brought an array of sophisticated cook-ies. The family dynamics were sometimes quite pleasant, other times not so much.

One year, we found the “celebration” particularly ir-

ritating and fraught with tension. There was bickering and dissent. I handled the situation badly by sucking over zealously on the wine bottle. On the ride home, Janet and I vowed to skip the assemblage the following year and sim-ply spend Thanksgiving in New York with Pop.

The following November found us dining, oddly enough, at my dad’s favorite Spanish restaurant. I had begun working in the retail food industry and the store in which I worked remained open half of Thanksgiving Day, leav-ing me no time to prepare a feast. Buzz and Wendy asked if they could join us at Marbella. I should’ve ordered the Spanish food for which the restaurant was known, as the others did, but stubbornly insisted on ordering their tur-key dinner with all the usual suspects, poorly prepared, for which I was anything but thankful. Still, we enjoyed each other’s company and decided that the following year, no matter how stressed it made us, we’d return to the fold.

Eventually, though, my job precluded our making the trip to Philly, so Buzz and Wendy hosted the holiday with-out us, and what did the New York trio do? We had a bird of an entirely different feather. We dined at the Peking Duck House on Mott Street in Chinatown. It was outstanding, if not very Thanksgiving-like. Still, we were together and thankful for the love we shared.

Three months later my dad suffered a debilitating stroke, leaving him confined to a wheelchair and living out the rest of his days, which turned out to be six disturb-ingly long years, in a nursing home. Janet and I bounced around a few ideas as to how to make the holiday festive. I woke early the day of Thanksgiving and made a mini-version of the meal. Some oven-roasted turkey thighs, a little casserole of herbed mushroom stuffing, spiced cran-berry relish, steamed broccoli, and a squash or sweet po-tato offering. We sat with Dad, happily forfeiting the drab institutional grub he faced daily. We talked, laughed and blew kisses.

After my brother’s death, and soon after, my dad’s, Ja-net and I found ourselves thankful for each other’s close company. My Thanksgiving odyssey has come to a com-fortable, albeit reduced in size, end. Janet and I will have seared, crispy-skinned duck breast—which we both pre-fer to turkey—with a fig sauce; dad’s piquant cranberry relish; and oven-roasted root vegetables, drizzled with a little aged balsamic vinegar and rendered deeply flavored

Each year during the holiday, The River Reporter runs a series of stories under the general theme of “celebrations,” taking time to highlight all that warms our hearts during this festive time. This year, each of the stories featured will focus on gathering together. Writers will join groups of people all over the region, seeking out what it is

that brings people together─the beginning of deer season, for example, or a gift ex-change at a nursing home. Shared passions, special places and common causes tend to unite us, now and throughout the year. This week, Annemarie Schuetz sat in on a zen meditation in Narrowsburg, where silence and introspection becomes a group activity.

The mind at rest: Silence and stillness wait in a zen gatheringBy ANNEMARIE SCHUETZ

NARROWSBURG, NY ─ The silence is tangible.

It fills the zendo at Two Rivers Zen, one floor up from the One Grand bookstore on Main Street in Narrowsburg. Sounds from a busy Sunday morning drift in, but they slide off the bubble of stillness. Five people are attending the service today, al-though this is not “attending” as one attends a Western religious service. Everyone par-ticipates, by ringing the bell, discussing the dharma talk or just being present. Everyone who is present is integral.

The room is simple, all distractions kept to a minimum. A candle burns─you can just catch the scent. The altar, crowned by a stat-ue of the Buddha, is the most ornate object in the room. Otherwise, the bare wood floor is dotted with black cushions for the partici-pants plus a couple of chairs and benches. The robes of priest Sensei Seiso-Paul Cooper swirl as he moves around the space, then he too settles onto his cushion.

This is zazen, or shikantaza. “It means sitting, or noth-ing but sitting,” Seiso says. “Mantras or prayer are a dis-traction.”

It fills the zendo at Two Rivers Zen, which was founded in Honesdale about 10 years ago and has since moved to Narrowsburg. Two Rivers Zen offers classes and regu-lar services─like this one, held on November 18 at the studio─as well as retreats, supporting the practitioners in their search for the real.

Zen Buddhism itself began in India, and was brought to China in the sixth century CE and Japan in the 12th century, according to the BBC. To practice zen is to see the way things really are. Attaining this can be the work of a lifetime, and meditation is key.

“We bring the meditative state of mind into the world,” said Cooper.

The bell rings and meditation begins. Nobody leads. Everyone falls into the silence, including Sensei Seiso. The cabinet-style Japanese altar and the chanting in Jap-anese are not the only reminder that this is an Eastern practice and that Western ideas of religious life are very different.

The point isn’t to hold to an echoing silence in your mind. The mind is like Main Street and the thoughts like sounds will drift in and out. “You change your relation-

ship to thoughts, not get rid of the thoughts. Notice it, and continue sitting.”

A service consists of two 25-minute sessions of sitting meditation, with a walking meditation in between, punc-tuated by the bells and the chanting of the Heart Sutra. Surprisingly flat and emotionless, the chant is the con-densed version of a long teaching on the meaning of emp-tiness, Seiso says. It shakes you out of the silence.

Meanwhile the sitter pays some attention to how to sit,

how to hold the hands, how to take the small steps of the walking meditation. There’s nuance here─one doesn’t obsess about it, because that too is a distraction. The over-all sense is that you do the best you can, and the others are doing the best they can. Their path is not yours, they are elsewhere on the way.

“The longer I sit, the more compassion I have for myself and others,” said participant Kyoshin Lohr. “I can forgive myself for ag-gression, and I can be aware of others feeling exactly the way I am.”

A thought, drifting. What do silence in community or the practice of zazen offer someone troubled by the world? The internet tells us that it reduces stress and brings joy. But there’s more, which becomes clear dur-ing the dharma talk on Buddhist teachings, after the meditation.

“There’s the openness of mind,” Lohr said. “There’s an openness to whatever’s going to come up… there’s that true rest in being so open.”

There’s time, participants say, to think about the sto-ries we tell ourselves about people, about situations. Are they real? Or are they just perception and projections?

“We’re always projecting, making someone else the Buddha,” Karen Morris says. “We’re making a whole narrative about it.”

“We tend to think that what we think is real,” Myoki Marcia Nehemiah adds. The way we see others can shift rapidly when we sit and talk, when something changes. Zen practice guides you to an answer about what is real.

Behind so much anger in the world is suffering. Bud-dhism does not shy away from pain. The group picks at the problem, tries to untangle it. Take the Wheel of Life and Death, says Morris, “it’s a reminder of our freedom, but how are we free when we’re so bound by suffering?”

“The suffering is real, but so is the space,” adds Nehe-miah. “[Zen master] Dogen said that space is not empty, space is alive.”

Three hours spent in the group, in the stillness, lets you forget the confusion of the world outside. But Seiso offers a reason to head back into it: “The place where the chaos is going on,” he says, “is also the place where the remedy is.”

Two Rivers Zen, 76 Main St. #4 in Narrowsburg or on-line at tworiverszen.org. Shikantaza classes are limited to eight participants.

Bethany ‘Christmas in the Village’

BETHANY, PA — Start off your holiday season on December 1 by celebrating at Bethany’s “Christmas in the Village,” where, from 2 to 4 p.m., you will find tours, open houses and holiday experi-ences at numerous venues.

As you stroll around town, be sure to en-joy the hospitality of two popular bed and breakfasts: E. Kellogg and James Man-ning House; sample some holiday treats and, at James Manning House, join in the festivities by singing carols led by Hones-dale High School’s Chamber Choir.

Down the road and across the street, Mrs. Claus will visit Bethany Library to help children write their letters to Santa, and Bethany Historical Society will of-fer tours of the historic borough building and a display of antique decorations.

Next door, Bethany United Methodist Church will be open for tours, and visi-tors can learn the tradition of the Nativ-ity by creating a family-friendly craft. In late afternoon, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., ex-perience a Living Nativity as you “Jour-ney through Bethlehem,” at Bethany Presbyterian Church.

Bethany Village, the senior living facil-ity and personal care home in the bor-ough, hosts a tricky tray and Christmas tree lighting.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINIONBy Jonathan Charles Fox

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll ad-mit that the last few daze have been a bit challenging for me. I was a little un-

der the weather (and I’m not just talking about the foot of snow we all shared) and had to make some last-minute adjustments to my calendar. In doing so, I managed to turn Thursday into Friday, and Saturday to Sunday, so by the time the weekend was in full swing, I was completely discom-bobulated.

Even though I missed a few events oc-curring simultaneously in the Upper Delaware River region, I somehow man-aged to pull my act together and get to Narrowsburg and the opening reception of the 14th annual “Art in Sixes” at the DVAA. Gallery director Rocky Pinciotti (www.delawarevalleyartsalliance.org) was all smiles as hundreds of artists and aficionados filled the space to overflow-ing. Interested viewers were spilling into the streets as I paused to snap a pic of pho-tographer Chip Forelli, whose black and white piece “Closing Time,” is featured in the window.

“It’s crowded in there,” I said to Chip. “Almost impossible to see the art up close.” The new exhibition showcases paintings, sculptures, photos and more with only one criterion: that no single piece be larger than six by six inches in any direction. More than 200 artists are featured in this year’s show. “I think a lot of people come to share the excitement that this show gener-ates,” Forelli said above the din, “and then come back later to experience the excite-ment generated by the work itself.” While addressing the crowd, Pinciotti gave a toast to the artists and the small army of volunteers who assist in the Herculean task of mounting the large-scale exhibit of small-scale work. “I think more people need to know about this show,” Pinciotti said, while encouraging folks to engage on social media. “Everyone needs to know about this exhibit, this gallery, these art-ists and this town.”

The centerpiece of this year’s show is (IMHO) a brilliant send-up of New York City’s notorious street artist Banksy, who stirred controversy last month, sending shockwaves throughout the art commu-nity by intentionally shredding a paint-ing that had just been sold for more than $1 million at auction. Aptly titled “After Banksy,” artists Bruce and April Bidwell were on hand for a photo-op and explained that their creation is “an homage” to the great prankster, as well as serving as a si-lent auction fundraiser for the DVAA. Bid-ding has begun and remains open until December 16, although the exhibit itself is

Good things come in small packages

TRR photos by Jonathan FoxBruce and April Bidwell’s brilliantly satirical “After Banksy” is being auctioned off to the highest bidder through Dec. 16, benefiting the DVAA. “We’re hoping to get 1.2 million,” Bruce said. “Or best offer.”

Photographer Chip Forelli showed me his “Art in Sixes” piece, titled “Closing Time” while standing in the window facing Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY.

on view (and for sale) until Dec. 23. As neigh-bors and friends prepare to “Shop Small” (www.Facebook.com/SmallBusinessSatur-day) this weekend, what better time than the present to shop for presents right here in our own backyard? Good things come in small packages.

First time I’ve printed on metal!” artist Z.A. Kohloa (Zee Koh) exclaimed during the opening reception at the DVAA. “ It’s cool, right?”

More than 600 small works of art comprise the 14th annual “Art in Sixes” exhibit at the DVAA.

Dharma the Wonder Dog is ready to hit the local stores and galleries, prepared to “shop small” this Saturday, in support of the local economy.

Painter Ula Nero was “excited to be in the exhibit [again] this year.”

TALKING SPORTSBy Ted Waddell

is brought to you in part by

Paul D. Salzberg, M.D. • Callicoon, NY • 845/887-6112

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — Don’t talk about hillbilly hand fishin’ to a real honest-to-goodness, died-in-the-wool and feather, match-the-catch-to-

the-hatch fly fisherman.Mike Canazon of Livingston Manor, a well-known fly

fisherman and local guide, began his life-long love af-fair with the sport as a youngster, fishing in ponds and streams with his brother, using the time-honored coun-try boy way of catching fish called noddling.

“It’s like when you’ll creep up along the edge of a creek, and spot a trout feeding,” he explained at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum’s (CFFCM’s) Arts for the An-gler event Saturday, November 10. “You get a pebble—you don’t want to get a big one because they cause too many ripples… you toss in a tiny one, and watch… the fish will scoot away, generally under a rock or tree root, and then you pull them right out with your hands.”

Canazon likes to keep that a well kept secret, at least until now, as after a few decades in the game of luring trout and other species to a hand-tied fly, he is in the posi-tion to talk about what lures anglers to the tradition of fly fishing in the pristine, sparkling waters of the Catskills.

“There’s something about standing in the river, just be-ing part of the world around you... You’re one small piece of that,” he said. “Catching fish put me in the water, but now the water’s in me.”

For roughly the last 18 years, Canazon has guided other fisherpersons in their quest to explore the local waters in search of wily denizens of our local waterways. He has a reserved respect for artists of the craft—those who tie flies.

Dave Brandt, along with noted fly tyers of reknown Mike Rowanowski, Shawn Britton and the ‘cowboy tyer’ Bill Newcomb, were also at the museum Saturday to demonstrate their art in the Wulff Gallery, adjacent to the museum.

To enter the state-of-the-art museum is like a journey back in time. Through its doors, you return to the begin-ning of fly-fishing in the region and beyond, as you enter an homage to the culture and time-honored craft of fly-fishing. The Art of the Angler event was an opportunity to witness some incredible works of art rendered in col-ored materials and fashioned in intricate styles to lure fish to the hook, and to marvel at fastidiously machined reels and displays of the art of bamboo rod making at its finest. Add a lot of camaraderie within the closely-knit fly fishing community—most of the flyfishers are fer-vent disciples of catch-and-release—and it was an event to remember.

Joan Wulff, known as the First Lady of Fly Fishing, was on hand, along with her husband Theodore “Ted” Rogowski.

Rogowski, a long-time advocate for clean water, helped draft the Clean Water Act of 1972 while at the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) and is a co-founder of the Theodore Gordon Flyfishers.

As a noted environmental attorney, cinematographer fly tyer and avid flyfisherman, in 2017 he was inducted into the CFFCM’s prestigious Fly Fishing Hall of Fame.

Taking a moment from perusing a classic book on the sport, Rogowski reflected on what fly fishing has meant to him for 80-some years.

“It’s being out with nature and clean water… the birds, bees and flowers,” he said.

It ain’t hillbilly hand fi shin’: A day at the fl y-fi shing museum

Afterward, while sitting in the museum watching sev-eral of the heavy hitters in the world of fly tying dem-onstrate their art to visitors, Canazon expounded on the craft of fashioning dry flies from a wide variety of materials.

“The way they take the materials, work it with their hands before they put it on a hook is amazing to see, all the while telling a story,” he said.

Taking a clandestine sip of Newcastle Brown Ale, he added of Brandt, president of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild, “Dave is one of our local historians, an outstand-ing fly tyer, one of the main keepers of the Catskill style of fly tying… his connections go back to Lee Wulff.”

And of Brandt’s “passion to find” the reddish-brown ale originally brewed in Newcastle upon Tyne and intro-duced in 1927, Canazon said, “I don’t ever drink beer, but when he’s around, I have to, it’s required.”

Hillbilly hand fishin’ it wasn’t, but it certainly was a memorable event at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum along the banks of the famed Willowemoc.

Rattlesnakes and copperheads Habitat and habits

PORT JERVIS, NY — The Hub at the Port Jervis Public Library will host a program on rattlesnakes and cop-

perheads on Thursday, November 29 from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. in the Community Room at the library.

Snakes are a valuable and fascinating part of our regional ecosystems. Learn how to tell the harmless ones from the very few poisonous natives, where each prefers to live, their biology and their

food preferences. The timber rattler and the copperhead

are the most highly evolved of all snakes and, according to presenter Randy Stechert, they are the most charismatic of all species. Come and see a live rattle-snake and see if you agree.

Seating is limited. Register in person at the library, by calling 845/856-7313, ext. 5, or by email at [email protected].

Thanksgiving is here, and most birds that migrate are where they have to be for the winter. People

may have noticed tiny ducks on area lakes; these are buffleheads that came down from Canada in late October, and they will stay until lakes start freez-ing over. Many robins are making a move south, but a few will stay in the region and use food sources such as left-over berries to sustain them through the winter.

In the September 26 issue of River Talk, I spoke of the migration of broad-winged hawks. These hawks get an early start for the trip south, leaving in mid-September. The raptors that leave in the later part of fall represent a good cross-section of the region’s pop-ulation of birds of prey. Falcons such as the peregrine falcon, merlins and American kestrels are on the move, as well as sharp-shinned and Cooper’s hawks, both in the Buteo family. Later in October is the time for eagles, where both bald and golden eagles can be seen migrating. Some migrating red-tailed hawks are seen, and a northern gos-hawk or two may be spotted.

Some individuals of various species may not migrate at all. Our resident adult eagles have adequate foraging opportunities on the rivers and other open areas of water. The bald eagles that come to the region during winter are largely from Canada. A few golden eagles, also from Canada, come south. A few golden eagles winter in our region and you may spot them while watching for bald eagles.

During the winter of 2006, a golden eagle was captured by the New York State Depart-ment of Environmen-tal Conservation in our region during an eagle telem-etry study. To see where this adult female golden ea-gle went in the spring to raise her young, vis-it https://bit.ly/2FsmHuK.

Late fall raptors on the move

TRR photos by Scott RandoMany bald eagles can be seen migrating past ridges during October and November. At Sunrise Mountain, in Stokes State Forest in New Jersey, windy days with a northwest wind offer the best days to spot eagles.

In early October, a red-tailed hawk was observed climbing vertically past some small object in the sky. The small object proved to be a migrating monarch butterfly. Red-tailed hawks may migrate, or they may choose to winter in their home territory. In our region, we have red-tailed hawks all year round.

This golden eagle was spotted at Sunrise Mountain in early November. Golden eagles do not breed anywhere in the northeast U.S.; these eagles all come down from Canada. Immature golden eagles have a white band on the tail, but both adult and immature goldens have an iridescent copper-colored crown and nape, as well as a stouter-appearing bill than the bald eagle.
