Roxbury Arts Presents: American Politics & Community Today: Reading and Discussion Series

Written By Editor on 2/1/17 | 2/1/17

What does it mean to be an American in the 21 st century? What does a model American do, and what

responsibilities do Americans have to their communities and each other? How have the answers to

these questions changed over the history of the United States? Participants a new program being

offered by the Roxbury Arts Group will engage with these questions and others regarding politics and

the current state of civic thought, feeling, and participation.


The Reading & Discussion Program will focus on the books The Book of Daniel, a novel by E.L.

Doctorow, and Talking to Strangers, Anxiety of Citizenship Since Brown vs. Board of Education, by

Danielle S. Allen. Discussions about the books will be led by Jennifer Kabat at the Roxbury Arts Center,

5025 Vega Mountain Road, Roxbury NY on February 15, March 1, March 15, and March 29 from 6:00-

7:30p on each date. Community members who would like to participate can borrow the books directly

from the Roxbury Arts Group by contacting Miguel Martinez Riddle at 607.326.7908 or

programs@roxburyartsgroup.org. This event is free and open to the public.


Leading the discussion series is Margaretville resident Jennifer Kabat. Kabat, a writer and essayist, is

also a co-founder of the collaborative essay site, The Weeklings. She has been a guest critic at Yale,

the Rhode Island School of Design, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Virginia Common Wealth

University in Qatar, and other institutions. Her writing has been published in the Los Angeles Review of

Books, BOMB, Harper’s, The Believer, The White Review, Salon, The Guardian, and Granta, among

others. She’s received multiple grants to support her writing including an Arts Writers Grant for her

criticism and was recently artist-in- residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts in California. She

serves on the advisory board for the poetry collective Ugly Duckling Presse, and teaches contemporary

art and theory at New York University and design writing at the School of Visual Arts. Currently she is

finishing a collection of essays GROWING UP MODERN exploring civic values from where she grew

up outside Washington, DC to where she lives now in the Catskill Mountains.


“Literature can create empathy by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes,” says Kabat. “That can be

a profound experience. With this program we’re using books that specifically relate to citizenship now

by thinking about civic values and actions in other eras. We live in a small community and the idea that

we can be on the forefront of considering trust and considering what community and citizenship could

be now is really exciting to me. As a writer, looking at the ways civic values manifest (in both good and

bad ways) in everything from the NYC watershed to the forests around us has been really important to

my work, and I am excited to read books with a group and talk about them and our ideas about

participation and community and building that community to make it stronger.”


American Politics & Community Today: Reading & Discussion series begins on February 15, but

participants are encouraged to read the book in advance so they can fully participate in the

conversations. For more information about the upcoming Reading & Discussion, please contact the

Roxbury Arts Group at 607.326.7908 or programs@roxburyartsgroup.org.

New Harpersfield Barn Will Preserve Town's Rich History

Written By Editor on 1/29/17 | 1/29/17

By Liz Page

HARPERSFIELD — A lot more history will be preserved in the town of Harpersfield

with a new two-story barn where the Harpersfield Historical Society can store artifacts.

The new barn went up in the matter of a few days, according to Tom Kendall, president

of the HHS.

“We had a lot of people contacting us to donate buggies and carriages,” he said. “The

new building will allow us to accept those donations and it is all paid for by grants.”

Agriculture has been and continues to be a major part of the Harpersfield community and

preserving that rich history is the reason for the new barn. Its second floor will be used

for storage.

The barn sits across the parking lot from the existing museum building, just off state

Route 23 near the Harpersfield Post Office and along the roadway to the transfer station

near the Harpersfield Town Barn. It is an Amish barn constructed by Dream Buildings

and it went up in early October. HHS member Bill Boyle oversaw the project, which took

about a week.

The project isn’t yet complete, with a concrete floor and electrical wiring still needed

sometime in the future. Kendall said a lean-to at the side of the barn may be added as the

HHS looks to continue Harpersfield Days. The first one was held last year and involved

several organizations.


“So many people have come to us and asked us if we will have Harpersfield Days again.

We don’t yet know if the other organizations are interested yet, but we are looking at it

anyway. We are looking at a flea market type of event for the area as an annual day.”

As a matter of fact, programming over the next year (2018) will focus on that rich ag

history, said Kendall. They will continue the program on military history this year which

focuses on those connected to Harpersfield in any way who have served in the military.

“We are still looking for items and information on any wars or military conflicts,” said

Kendall.

The Amish barn as it was being constructed last October to house equipment and artifacts donated to the Harpersfield Historical Society.


The agricultural history will focus on farms from years ago and the farms still in

existence today in Harpersfield. It is also a geological thing for the town, with HHS

member Bill Nicholson researching the land and its formation. It will also feature

photographs and information about the ag industry and farms in the town.


The HHS is also looking to have a sign erected along state Route 23 so people know they

have the new buildings and are open over several weekends during warmer weather. “We

think that will bring us some more traffic. It will specifically indicate it is a museum. We

plan on opening the season over the Memorial Day weekend,” said Kendall.

A control room is also on the wish list for keeping sensitive items in a controlled

environment. That is the group’s Phase III construction project, the museum and the barn,

the first two phases.


Kendall said the group is continually looking for grants and brainstorming ideas to get

more people to come and visit. With about a dozen active volunteers the HHS is looking

at continuing to preserve the town’s history and the invitation is open to new members.

“We are all volunteers. No one gets paid,” said Kendall. “There is a lot of stuff to log in

and new stuff which comes in all the time. We also have people constantly contacting us

for information.

“We are looking at making this as useful as possible and save as much history of the

town of Harpersfield and family geneology as possible. We want it to be a resource for

the community.”


He points out that a number of other communities are offshoots from the town of

Harpersfield, which extended to the Pennsylvania border in the beginning.

“We would like to make Harpersfield an area people want to come to and visit and see

what we have,” said Kendall.


The invitation to join has been sent to town taxpayers in conjunction with the town

board’s approval, according to Nicholson. The HHS will provide a free one-year

membership, worth $5, to anyone mailing in the card. The mailing took place in December.

Department of Transportation to replace a culvert along Buntline Drive.

The funding has been made available through DOT’s Bridge NY Grant Program,

according to Linda Stratigos, grant writer.

Stolzenburg of Community Planning, to begin work on the plan. They have established

focus groups and the committee is currently in the data gathering phase. Once that phase

is complete there will be a public meeting inviting the participation of village residents

sometime over the next two months.

state Route 23 partially located in the town of Harpersfield.
