Volunteer as a Fresh Air Host Family

Written By Editor on 1/26/17 | 1/26/17

Fresh Air summers are filled with children running barefoot through the grass, gazing at star-filled skies and swimming for the first time. This summer, join volunteer host families in the Northern Catskills Region, and open your heart and home to a Fresh Air child. Each summer, thousands of children from New York City’s low-income communities visit suburban, rural and small town communities along the East Coast and Southern Canada through The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program.

Harlen, age 9, has visited the Tornatore family for two summers. Host dad Albert shared, “Harlen has definitely learned to try new things. I remember our first summer. He was nervous but by the end of the first week, Harlen and my son were having adventures and having so much fun. We went to the aquarium, amusement park, and the kids love the beach.”

"My kids get so excited when they get to see Harlen. This summer we went to a drive-in movie, and we were all in the backseat with blankets, pillows and popcorn, snuggled together. Harlen is simply part of our family,” says host mom Allyson.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Fresh Air children are boys and girls, from seven to 18 years old, who live in New York City. Children who are reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips.

For more information about hosting a Fresh Air child this summer, please contact Mike Braun at 754-264-2136 or visit www.freshair.org.

Lopez and Amedore Unveil "Wayne C. Speenburgh Memorial Highway"

Senator George Amedore and Assemblyman Peter Lopez today announced the ceremonial dedication of the “Wayne C. Speenburgh Memorial Highway” in Greene County. Legislation designating the highway was sponsored by Senator Amedore and Assemblyman Lopez, and signed into law by Governor Cuomo last year.

Wayne Speenburgh passed away in September 2015 after a long illness. He served in the Army during the Vietnam War and worked as the Postmaster of the Coxsackie Post Office for 30 years. He was first elected to the County Legislature in 2004 and was elected Chairman in 2007, a position he held until his illness forced him to step down in 2014.

The New York State Department of Transportation installed two signs designating the roadway. The memorial begins at the intersection of Route 23 and Old Road in the Town of Windham, and runs west to the intersection of Route 23 and North Settlement Road in the Town of Ashland.

Senator Amedore and Assemblyman Lopez unveiled the signs today at a ceremony attended by Wayne’s wife Deborah Speenburgh, friends and loved ones, and members of the County Legislature.

"Wayne Speenburgh loved his community, and he loved public service,” said Senator George Amedore. “He was a giant in Greene County, and he touched the lives of so many as he worked to improve the quality of life in our communities. I was proud to know him and call him a friend, and I am so honored to stand here today with Deb, and all those who knew and loved Wayne to dedicate this highway in his honor. I can think of no better way to pay tribute to a great man and recognize all he did for Greene County.”

“Wayne was a passionate man who led by example,” said Assemblyman Lopez (R,C,I,Ref-Schoharie). “He was a fierce defender and protector of his constituents and I am very proud of his roots in Greene County. We chose this stretch of highway because of Wayne’s childhood ties to the mountaintop and for the many miles he traveled to assist the victims of hurricane’s Irene and Lee. We are all so thankful for his service and the privilege of calling him a friend.”

In addition to his public service, Wayne Speenburgh was involved in the community in many other capacities, including as a member of the VFW and the American Legion of Catskill and Coxsackie, as a coach for several sports leagues, and head of the Coxsackie Community Playground and the Coxsackie Food Pantry.

Wayne Bank Offers Five IRA Retirement Tips

Honesdale, PA – One of the greatest challenges in today’s world is planning for a financially secure retirement. With uncertainty over Social Security at an all-time high, Americans are starting to rely more heavily on their own resources to support their retirement plans. Whether you are just starting to save, wondering if you have enough saved, or not sure where to begin, thinking about retirement can be daunting. Fortunately, there are now many secure and reliable choices for retirement savings, including Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs.

“IRAs are an easy and secure way to save for retirement on your own,” explains Wayne Bank’s Deposit Operations Officer, Kristine Malti. “A bonus is that IRAs also earn interest and compound the value of your savings, which means that the value of your IRA will increase well beyond the amount you initially deposited.”

Wayne Bank offers the following five tips for those looking to save for retirement through an IRA.

Explore Your Options

Look at both Traditional and Roth IRAs to find the best tax savings for you. Consider deferring taxes now with a Traditional IRA while you’re working, or pay taxes now and withdraw tax-free funds from your Roth IRA after you retire.

Contribute The Maximum Amount

If you are able to, always contribute the maximum allowed amount to your IRA every year. Check federal guidelines for the IRA maximum deposit limits in 2017.
Designate Beneficiaries

Make sure you have clearly named beneficiaries for your IRAs. Your beneficiary designation determines how your IRA assets will be distributed should you pass away. Naming a beneficiary will help alleviate the risk of leaving your IRA to unintended parties.

Keep Your Savings

There are rules for withdrawing funds early from an IRA account, and possibly penalties. However, this can be a good motivator for maintaining your savings discipline and keeping you on track to achieve your retirement goals.

Ask Questions

Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you don’t understand something or are not receiving the answer you are looking for. Contact a financial professional to help you sort through your options.

Thomas Cole Site Announces Re-Opening with a New Immersive Installation

Catskill, NY – The Thomas Cole National Historic Site announced today the re-opening in May 2017 of the artist’s home with a new immersive installation that combines technology and meticulous historic restoration, featuring the earliest-known, interior decorative painting by an American artist. Through hidden audio and moving-graphics presentations, visitors will be able to hear the thoughts of Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and the historic conversations that took place in the parlors of his 1815 home, where America’s first major art movement, the Hudson River School of painting, was founded.

The carefully researched restoration has transformed the first floor of Cole’s home to his original design, as visitors in his day would have experienced it. It extends from carpets and other floor coverings to wall colors to newly uncovered, elaborately painted borders in both parlors. Those painted borders were designed and painted by Cole himself – revealing another “first” in American art history – and had been hidden for more than a century under layer upon layer of modern paint.

The restoration is combined with the latest techniques in immersive storytelling developed in partnership with some of the leading experts in the nation. The multimedia installation will be the first of its kind in the restored rooms of an historic home and will feature the artist’s own words and artworks. Instead of viewing period rooms from behind velvet ropes, visitors will enter the rooms and participate in the events that took place there.

Over a decade in the making, the installation is informed by research conducted by the Cole site staff with distinguished art historians and other experts. They include Elizabeth Kornhauser, Alice Pratt Brown Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture at The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Nancy Siegel, author, curator and professor of American art; and Alan Wallach, considered the foremost Cole scholar in the world. The restoration has been directed by leading historic interiors experts Jean Dunbar and Carrie Feder and implemented by historic paint specialist Matthew Mosca and acclaimed conservator Margaret Saliske. The multimedia installation, including the audio and moving graphics, has been designed and implemented by the nationally renowned design firm Second Story with the acclaimed theater director Warner Shook, also a Cole Site trustee.

“This re-opening positions the Thomas Cole Site at the forefront of 21st-century presentations of historic properties,” said Elizabeth B. Jacks, Executive Director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. “It combines meticulous scholarship with immersive storytelling to bring history to life for contemporary audiences.”

The installation has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. It was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services MA-10-15-0116-15. The project is supported by a grant from Empire State Development’s Market NY program, and was recently announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo in the latest round of Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) awards. The project is also sponsored in part by Hudson River Valley Greenway. The historic paint finishes are sponsored by Herzog’s of Kingston. Eli Wilner & Company of New York City is a historic framing sponsor of the installation and the art printing sponsor is Geoff Howell Studio.

The installation will dramatically enhance the experience of visiting Cole’s Main House and will augment the other offerings at the Site. They include Cole’s 1839 “Old Studio” building and his majestic 1846 “New Studio” building, which was recently reconstructed, and related displays of Cole’s art and that of his many followers who comprise the art movement now known as the Hudson River School.

The Thomas Cole Site also provides a starting point for the innovative walking-and-driving experience called the Hudson River School Art Trail (www.hudsonriverschool.org), which reveals nearby settings in the Hudson Valley where visitors can experience the same views that appear in 19th-century paintings by Cole and other Hudson River School artists.

Additionally, the State of New York recently approved funding for “Skywalk”, an enhanced pedestrian walkway on the Rip Van Winkle Bridge that will soon connect the Site with the Bridge, enabling visitors to walk directly from the Cole Site and across the Hudson River. A second phase of the “Skywalk” will connect the Cole Site with the Olana State Historic Site, home of Cole’s most famous student, Frederic Church. The “Skywalk” funding was also part of the latest round of New York State’s REDC awards.

About the Thomas Cole National Historic Site
The Thomas Cole National Historic Site preserves and interprets the home and studios of Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School of painting, the nation's first major art movement. Located on 6 acres in the Hudson Valley, the site includes the 1815 Main House, 1839 Old Studio, the newly reconstructed 1846 New Studio, and several other buildings. It is a National Historic Landmark and an affiliated area of the National Park System. Following a restoration of the Main House, the Cole Site opened to the public in 2001. The site’s activities include guided tours, exhibitions, printed publications, extensive online programs, activities for school groups, free community events, lectures, and innovative public programs such as the Hudson River School Art Trail—a map and website that enables visitors to see the nearby views that Cole painted. Each year, the Cole Site organizes a loan exhibition of Hudson River School paintings, providing a first-hand experience with the art movement that Cole founded. The goal of all programs at the Cole Site is to enable visitors to find meaning and inspiration in Thomas Cole’s life and work. The themes that Cole explored in his art and writings—such as landscape preservation and our conception of nature as a restorative power—are both historic and timely, providing the opportunity to connect to audiences with insights that are highly relevant to their own lives.

Visit the Thomas Cole National Historic Site
Thomas Cole’s home, studios, special exhibitions, and grounds are open May – October, Tuesday – Sunday, 9:30 am – 5:00 pm. For details, visit: www.thomascole.org.

Local Woman Assaulted at Cobleskill "March for Women"

UPDATE: The Cobleskill Police Department has announced the following: "Today, we received 2 complaints about this incident. Only 1 victim wished to pursue criminal action. We took immediate action and the man, Paul Jump, age 52, of Cobleskill was charged this afternoon with Harassment in the Second Degree. He is due in court February 14th, 2017 at 5:00 pm." The original story is below.

By Timothy Knight

Joining nationwide protests against newly inaugurated President Donald Trump's day-old administration on Saturday afternoon, over three hundred Schoharie County residents are estimated to have taken part in a peaceful "March for Women" event held at Cobleskill's Veterans' Memorial Centre Park.

Attracting millions of supporters from across the United States in protests held in over 600 cities, the origins for the march can be traced to a Facebook status that grew into a movement of its own. Although Saturday's protest in Cobleskill was mostly peaceable and orderly, not everyone behaved in the same respectful fashion.

According to photographic and video footage shared with The Mountain Eagle, one man repeatedly assaulted a protester at Saturday's event - both verbally and physically - prompting the victim to contact local police, although she did not file a report for fear of having her name associated with the case by pressing charges.

The video, which was posted on Facebook, shows protesters assembling on the corner of Division and Main Street in the Village of Cobleskill, when a middle-aged caucasian male walked through the crowd shouting, "You're clogging up the sidewalk, get the f*** out of the way."

Footage shows the man making his way through the crowd in the direction of Centre Park, away from the marchers and seemingly concluding the brief incident.

However, just seven minutes later as protesters were lining up on the sidewalk to march over to the park, the same man made his way through the crowd again and nearly pushed a woman to the ground.

The woman, who does not wish to be identified, can be heard saying, "Oh my God, my knees are bad," as the man charged through the crowd, pushing other women along the way.

Despite the man's offensive behavior, proceedings continued in a respectful and festive manner throughout the remainder of the event.

Village of Cobleskill Police Chief Rich Bialkowski posted on the department's Facebook page that extra officers were placed on duty Saturday to ensure the marchers were able to exercise their 1st Amendment rights in a peaceful and safe manner.

The man's identity has been uncovered, as the result of a tip sent to The Mountain Eagle, but will not be released at this time.
