Bright Hill Hosts Artist Lonnie Potter

Treadwell, NY - On Saturday, February 24,  at 2 pm, Bright Hill Literary Center of the Catskills will be host an art talk by visual artist, Lonnie Potter.

Writers, readers, and art enthusiasts are invited to join us at 2 pm for a discussion on how the arts support both our ability to get and grow knowledge, and how the arts shape and improve the world around us - how they help us to ask better questions, make changes in our day-to-day lives, and choose more wisely.

We'll also explore how the arts promote positive human characteristics - virtues like courage, humaneness, justice, and selflessness that allow us to grow as individuals, partners, groups, and members of our species and our universe.

Potter's talk will explore why the arts have been and will continue to be essential to human evolution and to the consciousness that makes us human. Discussions aim to find out why the arts help human beings get better at being human.
As a rural child, suburban teen, and urban adult, Lonnie Potter has made bodies of work in a variety of arts including music, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video, and poetry. He lived in Taipei, Taiwan for four years before returning to the U.S. to get his MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005. He was a fellow at Ox-Bow School of the Arts in 2004 and, with a Joan Mitchell Foundation Scholarship, an Ox-Bow artist-in-residence in 2012. Recent two-person shows include the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in 2012 and Project Project, Omaha, Nebraska in 2015. Lonnie had two residencies at Alternative Spacetime, Chicago, in 2015 and 2016, for visual arts and for writing. Half of Lonnie's arts practice is devoted to researching and writing about the evolutionary function of the arts; he will be a guest lecturer on this subject at Project Project in March 2018. He lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment Report Regarding Schoharie County Public Safety Facility Project Town of Schoharie, Schoharie County, New York
FEMA-4020- DR-NY
Notification is hereby given to the public of the intent of the Department of Homeland Security-Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS-FEMA) to provide Federal financial assistance to New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (NYSDHSES), as Recipient, and Schoharie County, as Subrecipient, for the construction of a new County Correctional and Public Safety Facility and extension of public water and sewer lines to provide service to the new facility. The Schoharie County Correctional and Public Safety Facility was damaged as a result of flooding and storm damage during Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in late August and early September, 2011. Flooding resulting from the event rendered the Schoharie County Public Safety Facility, located at 157 Depot Lane in the Village of Schoharie, Schoharie County, New York 12157, unusable for its intended purpose. President Barack H. Obama declared the storm incident period a major disaster on August 31, 2011 (FEMA 4020-DR- NY). This declaration makes federal disaster assistance available to affected communities and certain nonprofit organizations in accordance with the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1974 (Stafford Act; 42 U.S.C. 5172), as amended. The proposed action involves the construction of a new approximately 67,000 square-foot County Correctional Facility and Public Safety Facility (PSF) at a new location to replace the substantially flood-damaged, evacuated, and now partially closed 80,000 square-foot facility, as well as the extension of public water and sanitary sewer facilities to serve the new facility. The new facility is proposed to be constructed at 373 Howe’s Cave Road in the Town of Schoharie, Schoharie County, New York and will include, but not be limited to, the following functions and spaces: 65-75 inmate capacity jail and supportive facilities; Sheriff’s Office (Road Patrol, Administration and supportive facilities); Probation Department; District Attorney’s Office; connectivity to the Schoharie County 911 Call Center / Emergency Operations Center (located elsewhere) with a free-standing antenna on site (approximately 120 feet in height), paper records storage area and additional swing space to provide for continuity of government and training. Public water and sewer lines will be extended from the Town and Village of Cobleskill to the proposed new facility from existing connection points along NYS Route 7, proceeding via easements across private properties and underneath Cobleskill Creek, then along Howe’s Cave Road to the project site.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared to assess the potential impacts of the proposed action on the human environment. DHS-FEMA’s requirement of addressing floodplain management and wetlands protection in accordance with 44 CFR Part 9 is incorporated within the EA. The EA is available for public comment, and comments can be sent via email to FEMA4020- 4031Comment@fema.dhs.gov. The EA will be available for download from the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/resource-document- library and can be viewed in hard copy at the Schoharie County Offices, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, 3 rd Floor, 284 Main Street, Schoharie, NY 12157. The comment period will end 30 days after the date of this legal notice publication in Times Journal and Mountain Eagle newspapers. Written comments on the EA can be mailed or e-mailed to the contact below. If no substantive comments are received, the EA will become final and a Finding of No Significant Impact will be signed. Substantive comments will be addressed as appropriate in the final documents.

Governor Cuomo Releases Statement on Gun Violence

Governor Andrew Cuomo released the following statement on New York and gun policy:

Fellow New Yorker, 

We are all sadly aware that last week, seventeen community members at the Stoneman Douglas High School were gunned down in one of the deadliest school shootings in our nation's history.

In the wake of this tragedy, Washington has responded with the same appalling complacency and inaction that it always responds with. Plenty of thoughts and prayers. No action.

In New York, we are doing the opposite. Following the Sandy Hook shooting, we passed the SAFE Act — which banned assault rifles like the AR-15 and made it harder for people deemed to be dangerously mentally ill to purchase guns. Firearm deaths have fallen and our state is safer for it.

But our work isn’t done. I have proposed new legislation to remove all firearms from those who commit domestic violence crimes. And today, I joined the Governors of New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Connecticut in launching States for Gun Safety – a multi-state coalition to take action against gun violence in the face of failed leadership at the federal level.

This time, things can be different. The young survivors of the Parkland shooting are speaking out, demanding more from the adults in power — and their awe-inspiring efforts bring me hope.

The American people have waited far too long — but with your help, we can say once and for all that while this was not the first school shooting in America, it will be the last.

Ever Upward,

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

ABOUT BUSHEL
Bushel—a project of If / Then Inc., a tax-exempt, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization—is a volunteer-led, mixed-use storefront space dedicated to art, agriculture, and action. Located on Main Street in the Catskills town of Delhi, NY (pop. 5,117), Bushel is an experiment of mixed usage in a low-population density area, offering a space for gallery exhibitions, performances, screenings, discussions, meetings, co-working, classes, and other as-yet unforeseen uses. Inspired by both traditional rural meeting places and nontraditional storefront experiments, Bushel is open-ended, promising nothing but hoping for more.

ABOUT BLACK SUN LIT
Black Sun Lit is a print and digital literary press that endeavors to introduce, promote, and support both emerging and experienced authors whose work has little representation—or minimal exposure—in a reading world largely governed by commercial publishing. Based in Brooklyn and Arkville, NY, Black Sun Lit proposes a renewed aestheticism that values beauty—not communication or representation—as the end of literature, and publishes prose, poetry, essays, and works in translation that demonstrate a sensibility for the avant-garde.

ABOUT SITU
Situ is a hesitant unfolding of demise, a text that occupies the interstices between diegetic, philosophical, and poetic discursive timbres. From this tension—which finds form in an indeterminate subject’s relationship with a bench, his anguished site of rest and motion—the subsequent flux at the center of the narrative voice facilitates a kind of epistemology of volition that both proves and parodies the necessity of the philosophical system for a narrator whose instability gives such exploration its emergent poetic urgency. In the wildly despairing and circular machinations that ensue, this attempt at “thinking thinking” moves in and out of the body of the thinker it observes, displaying a devastating picture of the paradoxes at the basis of all representation, whether willful or inadvertent, an aesthetic act or a causal order inferred through polemic and reasoned pursuit. Situ is Seidenberg’s signature style raised to the next level, an accomplishment that calls to mind the literary contributions of Blanchot, Bernhard, and pre-impasse Beckett.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR SITU
To engage with the narrative flow of Steven Seidenberg’s Situ is to pass through the looking glass of consciousness into a seriocomic world of “mnemonic throes” and “the null of place...”
—Michael Palmer, author of The Laughter of the Sphinx

Steven Seidenberg has confected a stanza out of trains of thought that falter as explanation turns on itself too many times to grasp...Situ is the fruit of the philosophical quest: a horror of the body—“face flush with the rancid muck that covers his cadaver”—and the rational mind in its infinite regress.
—Robert Glück, author of Jack the Modernist

A feat of extreme smarts, folding in iterative density and intense decay, Situ does philosophy as labyrinthine lit...Its intestinal yet Latinate formalism, its agonistic wit and ruinous wonder, its keen bent for passivity, would make Beckett chortle, Husserl mull, Descartes nod, Spinoza correspond, Melville wax fanciful. An original, gutsy book.
—Mina Pam Dick, author of Delinquent

Edge Reaches 1,000-point Milestone

C-GCC Stand-out Honored by the National Junior College Athletic Association

HUDSON, N.Y. – Tanisha Edge, a sophomore at Columbia-Greene Community College from Cementon, N.Y., was lauded this month by the National Junior College Athletic Association after banking her 1,000th career point.

Edge reached the milestone during a Wednesday, Jan. 24 game against Fulton-Montgomery Community College, earning the point on a three-pointer in the third quarter. She was formally recognized at the C-GCC Twins’ home game on Saturday, Feb. 10, receiving an honorary, personalized Spalding basketball and a video message from NJCAA Executive Director Christopher Parker.

This is just the latest in a stellar season for Edge, who was named National NJCAA Division III Women's Basketball Player of the Week in January, and also notched her seventh all-time NJCAA Division III Regional Female Athlete of the Week distinction in the same month – her third of the 2017-2018 season.

Richanna Lindo, director of athletics at C-GCC, explained that the Twins women’s basketball program was resurrected in 2016 after a 10-year hiatus, and has since excelled, currently seated second in the region. The team has also garnered coveted first-place votes and national recognition from the National Division III Women’s Basketball Poll Committee, and five players: Edge, Stacey Cherestal, Amira Furtado, Anyla Harper, and Shayna Ostrowsky, are all nationally ranked in various statistical categories.

“Receiving national votes marks a phenomenal moment for the Twins, and the accolades keep coming,” she said. “The team’s hard work is showing – and we’ve truly only just begun.”

For Review: From India with Love

Editor's note: In late 2016, Cobleskill Mayor Linda Holmes and I had a chance to sojourn to India as part of a documentary project regarding the sources of and solutions to violence.

Here's a partial description:

From India with Love is a documentary film about victims of violence from across America who embark on an epic journey to India, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who had also visited India to study nonviolence. The common denominator that binds them in this story is their unique exposure to violence and their desire to reinvigorate the conversation about nonviolence in America.

The group included: a single mother whose son was brutally murdered in a tragic school shooting (Sandy Hook, Connecticut) and her best friend, a former gang member (Los Angeles, California), an educator (Newark, New Jersey), a social entrepreneur and a music scholar (both Black Lives Matter activists from Oakland, California).

The film showcases how the culture of India empowers them with tools, wisdom and inspiration to find healing, solace and to become ambassadors of nonviolence in their communities.

Tobacco Control Reps do a Reality Check with State Lawmakers

New York State (NYS) Tobacco Control Partners and Reality Check youth visited Albany February 6 to share their successes and focus attention on unmet needs in tobacco control efforts statewide. Throughout New York, 33.7% of those with mental illness, 27.5% with less than a high school education and 26.8% who earn less than $15,000 a year smoke cigarettes. Tobacco kills more people each year than alcohol use, illegal drug use, car accidents, homicide and HIV/AIDS combined.

Representatives from Advancing Tobacco Free Communities in Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie Counties (ATFC-DOS) met with NYS Senator James Seward and NYS Assemblyman Clifford Crouch while in Albany for the annual NYS Tobacco Control Partners Legislative Education Day. Linda Wegner, Program Director for ATFC-DOS and Deyanira Cisneros, Community Engagement Coordinator for ATFC-DOS accompanied six Reality Check youth advocates from Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School to Albany. Tranquility Cleveland, Jillian Johnson, Jasmine Neill, Ahna Misiewicz, Ali Misiewicz and Arianna Mosenson helped educate lawmakers about tobacco use issues in local communities. They also shared their concern about the average age of a new smoker being 13 and the smoking rates in the Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie region being higher than the current statewide adult smoking rate of 14.2 percent - 22.9 percent for Delaware County, 26.3 percent for Otsego County and 19.3 percent for Schoharie County.

The NYS Tobacco Control Program is a network of statewide contractors who work on Advancing Tobacco-Free Communities, which includes Community Engagement and Reality Check, the Health Systems for a Tobacco-Free New York, the NYS Smokers’ Quitline and Surveillance and Research. NYS Tobacco Control Partners have contributed substantially to the drop in tobacco use rates among adults and youth through population-based, policy-driven and cost effective approaches to prevent youth from smoking and to help smokers to quit.  These approaches are now focusing on communities and populations with high tobacco use rates, especially those with poor mental health, low education and low income.

“We need to ensure that all New Yorkers regardless of income, education, race or mental health status, are given the help they need to quit tobacco use and, more importantly, to live in  environments that makes it less likely they will become addicted to the single leading cause of preventable death and disease in our state,” said Amanda Mulhern, Health Systems Coordinator with St. Peter’s Health Partners Community Health Programs who serves Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie Counties among a total of eight counties.

Another population that warrants attention is youth. While youth smoking rates have significantly declined, electronic cigarette use among the state’s middle and high school students has doubled from 2014-2016[i], and studies show e-cigarettes can be a precursor to cigarette smoking in youth, even those who were not likely to smoke cigarettes.[ii]

“State-funded tobacco control programs prevent youth tobacco use and reduce adult smoking rates and ultimately save lives and millions of state tax dollars,” said Deyanira Cisneros, Community Engagement Coordinator with ATFC-DOS.  “But, as data about New Yorkers with low income, low education, mental illness and youth tobacco use show, when it comes to deadly and addictive tobacco use, the fight to save their lives isn’t over.”

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that the Tobacco Control Programs in NYS be funded with $203 million, yet actual funding for these programs only totals $39 million.[iii] If these programs were adequately funded, the health and economic burdens of tobacco use could be significantly reduced.

Annual health care costs directly caused by smoking in New York State are $10.39 billion. This expense results in a tax burden of $1488 dollars for each New York State household every year.iv There are 28,200 deaths in New York State each year due to smoking, and thousands who are living with illnesses related to tobacco use.iii

Municipal Corrections Training Course Debuts at C-GCC

HUDSON – Columbia-Greene Community College, the Columbia County Sherriff’s Office Corrections Division, and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office of Corrections have announced a new, pre-employment basic-training course for corrections officers, slated to begin Monday, March 5.

Designed for individuals seeking careers in municipal corrections, including within city- and county-operated facilities, this 192-hour course is approved by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and satisfies the phase-one requirements of the DCJS Basic Course for Corrections Officers (phase two is completed in a post-employment setting).

The program was developed by members of both the Criminal Justice department and the Office of Community Services at C-GCC, in partnership with members of the corrections divisions of both the Columbia and Greene County Sheriffs’ Offices.

Sgt. Jeremy Huyck of the Columbia County Sherriff’s Office Corrections Division, who will serve as the program’s first director, explained that the 12-week course will meet in the evenings, with some weekend sessions, and will be taught by experienced corrections or law enforcement officers who hold DCJS Instructor Certifications.

“Our goals in designing the program are to open new career doors, enhance the employability of those seeking jobs in corrections, create networking opportunities, and overall, enhance people’s futures in law enforcement,” he said. “Corrections officers are an important part of our communities, ensuring safety and security.”

A mandatory information session is planned for Thursday, Feb. 15, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Columbia-Greene Community College. Municipal corrections employment opportunities are available in facilities across New York State, excluding New York City and state-operated corrections facilities.

For more information or to register for the information session, call 518.828.4181 ext. 3342.

National Bank of Coxsackie now accepting Mortgage Applications Online

National Bank of Coxsackie has made a commitment to providing customers with modern products, services, and technological advances while at the same time remaining a hometown, local Bank. This month, NBC announced that customers can now apply for Mortgages and Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) directly through their website.

“This technology has been adopted by some larger banks, but NBC is one of the first community banks in the area to offer online mortgage applications. We realize that to remain competitive, we must continuously evolve and find new ways to reach our customers,” Senior Vice President Mark Maraglio commented.

The technology allows users to create a profile directly on National Bank of Coxsackie’s website so they can save their progress and return to finish the application at a later date; check in to see the status of their completed application; and upload any additional documents that may be needed to make a lending decision.

“In an ever changing industry and environment,” Assistant VP and Marketing Officer Nicole Bliss said, “we want to be able to give our customers the delivery channels they are looking for. That is not necessarily stepping foot into one of our eight branches. Sometimes it’s being able to apply for your mortgage or home equity on a Sunday morning from your couch”
Visit National Bank of Coxsackie at their website, www.nbcoxsackie.com to apply for free today.
