The Creative Contribution of Bellfire Farm

Photos provided by Bellfire Farm 


By Robert Brune

ROXBURY — The astonishing beauty of Bellfire Farm, tucked into the valley below Plattekill Mountain ski resort in Roxbury, is a camping fantasy realized by Richard Tazzara and Mina Teslaru. This couple met up in Tazzara’s art space in Brooklyn years ago. In 2014 they both decided to leave the city life behind for the country life of Delaware County in Roxbury purchasing the Old Hinkley Farm House where many of the family members were born. The house is thought to have been built in 1860. 

Tazzara and Teslaru utilized their creative talents of carpentry, art, and design in putting together one of the top-rated glamping locations in upstate New York. They began by transforming a wagon chassis into a Romani-style wagon with stunning bold colors, inspired by Tesaru’s ancestry. It’s so amazing that the New York Tourism Department featured the Cosmic Nomad (wagon) in the current issue of the Great Western Catskills booklet in the STAY section. 

“Leaving the city for the mountains offered the peace and nature we craved. While we knew we miss the cultural diversity, we’ve been delighted to discover a thriving artistic community here. From inspiring artists to incredible local cuisine, the mountains have unveiled a wealth of hidden gems. We truly enjoy the tranquility of nature while still staying connected to the creative energy that fuels us. This welcoming corner of New York feels like a perfect fit – wholesome, caring, and full of opportunity.” – Mina Teslaru

The Bellfire Farm glamping is a back-to-nature, off-the-grid experience with no electricity, no wifi at the camp sites, lit by solar battery lanterns at each of their three four sites which includes two canvas camps and two artisan-built cabins, each with ample private space and unique features that enhance time spent outdoors.

Bellfire Farm attracts on average one thousand visitors seasonally. This is a huge contribution to the local economy of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. 

“For me the transition from living in Williamsburg Brooklyn to the western Catskills was a decision I had in my heart long before it was realized. There are many advantages and challenges to both lifestyles, but I truly feel at home here in the hills of Roxbury, NY. I think Mina put it best when, asked by our friends why we were leaving NYC, her quote was, “The city just isn’t big enough for us anymore.”  I am so grateful for our home and this community, it took little imagination to realize how we could share this splendor not only with our friends and family but a greater audience.” – Rich Tazzara

If you visit their website or social media pages, you’ll see the rave reviews of faithful repeat customers. Tazzara points to one example, “We have one guest that comes back three times a year to experience the changing of the seasons.”  Teslaru spoke about how two mothers with their daughters recently visited from Ohio to stay for four days. This enchanting location attracts people from New York State and as far away as Japan and Canada. This glamping concept was built to honor the surrounding environment with a near zero carbon footprint, utilizing reclaimed and locally sourced building materials. 

This reporter got the unique pleasure of looking inside of each of the camp site locations this past Wednesday May 15th during their small gathering for the Delaware County fire ban lift. About 15 of their close friends came together for a bonfire with food and drinks. Richard and Mina all are so gracious and friendly, it’s no wonder they have such an adoring repeat list of guests coming every year.  

One of the many amazing reviews found in their note logs…“An amazing experience I will carry with me wherever I travel. As a woman it’s scary to travel solo, but at Bellfire I’ve never felt more at peace and safe. The location is stunning and secluded without being too far from good restaurants and human interaction. I took advantage of the sauna and cold plunge which I highly recommend. You have everything you need while remaining sustainable. Mina and Rich were kind, very respectful and made me feel at home.” — Jess - Boston. MA

The Roxbury Arts Group Announces Between the Mountains and the Mayor: Paintings by Robert Schneider


June 8 - July 13 2024

Opening Reception: Saturday June 8, 4-6pm

Stamford Headwaters Arts Center

607.326.7908 or roxburyartsgroup.org

An exhibition of landscape paintings by Stamford Mayor Robert Schneider opens at the Headwaters Center for the Arts on June 8th 2024 from 4-6pm.  Between the Mountains and the Mayor invites visitors to explore the feelings of place and engage with the landscapes that surround us. Come experience the work of a painter with a profound relationship with art and the community of Stamford, NY. 

For over 40 years, Mayor Robert Schneider has been working on creating classical landscapes in his own distinct style that focuses on atmosphere and light instead of details of a specific location. Mayor Schneider studied at The Art Student’s League in the 1970's and spent summers in Stowe, Vermont under the tutelage of Frank Mason. His work is influenced by the painters of the Hudson River School, The American Tonalists and 19th century Impressionists.  

In a 2007 profile in American Artist magazine Mr. Schneider says "My paintings are based on direct observation and memory... Even when I start a picture outdoors, I usually finish it in the studio so I can give more careful attention to the abstract relationships inherent in the composition as well as the total impact of the image." 

Mayor Schneider’s work has been shown at The National Art’s Club, The Salmagundi Club, The Hudson River Museum, The Hudson Valley Artists Association, The Newington Cropsey Foundation, The Oklahoma Museum of Art, Bard College and The Fenimore Museum.  Mr. Schneider lives in Stamford, NY with his wife, the painter Susan Goetz. He has been Mayor of the Village of Stamford, NY since 2019. 

Come to the Headwaters Arts Center, 66 Main Street in Stamford on Saturday June 8th between 4 and 6pm for a chance to enjoy light refreshments and engage with Mayor Schneider’s evocative landscape paintings and     the artist himself.

Social Services Commissioner Dies Suddenly

Supervisors Urge State To Permit EMS As Essential Services

By Mary A. Crisafulli

DELHI - Hamden Supervisor Wayne Marshfield said a prayer for the late Social Services Commissioner Sylvia Armanno at the Delaware County Board of Supervisors meeting on May 22. "Grant her eternal rest and let a perpetual light shine upon her," said Marshfield.

Armanno, who served the county for 32 years, passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 18. Armanno was set to retire in roughly one month. 

Marshfield, as chair of the social services committee, said the committee had a farewell celebration for Armanno at the last meeting the Monday before she passed. "We wished her the best in the next part of her life," said Marshfield, "We didn't know it was going to be six feet under." On that Friday, he said, she was rushed to upstate medical.

Deputy Commissioner Keith Weaver is acting as interim commissioner until Armannos position is filled.

The county declared June 15th as Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which Marshfield said was something Armanno was an advocate for. The awareness day is an annual initiative since 2006 initiated by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and adopted by the World Health Organization in 2011.

In other business, supervisors passed a resolution urging the State to enact a rescue EMS (emergency medical services) package. The resolution asks for EMS to be acknowledged as an essential service permitting tax district development and removing it from the tax cap. The resolution further asks that volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers be permitted to claim state and local property tax credits and income tax credits of $200 to $800 per person.

Supervisors also ask for ambulance services power to be reimbursed fairly for Medicaid patients. Currently, there is a limit on how much an ambulance can charge for treatment in place or transportation of patients with Medicaid. The resolution further asks for EMS vehicles to be exempt from paying Thruway charges, which has been done for fire vehicles.

The resolution will be forwarded to Governor Kathy Hochul, SEnator Peter Oberacker, Assemblyman Christopher Tague, Assemblyman Joe Angelino, and Assemblyman Brian Maher. 

Bovina Supervisor and Board Chair Tina Molè said the resolution was passed as a not-pre-field as the board wanted to get it to State representatives before the end of the State legislative session.

In other business:

Supervisors approved the disposal or sale of the County Clerk's office lektriever. The lektriever is an automated filing carousel used by the county to store civil and criminal court documents. The machine held roughly 10 to 15 thousand documents now obsolete due to the clerk shifting to digital records.

With excitement, Hancock Supervisor Jerry Vernold announced that Hancock was named the number one small town in the US by Time Out, a digital media outlet focused on travel and entertainment. Time Out Journalist Amanda Mactas wrote, "Hancock, New York, is an outdoor lover's paradise for those looking to escape city life in nearby Pennsylvania and New York City. Primed for water activities along the Upper Delaware River..." To read the article visit timeout.com/usa/travel/best-small-towns-usa. 

The next board of supervisors meeting is scheduled Wednesday, June 26 at 1 p.m.

Duties Shift & New Positions In Davenport

Water District Discussion

By Mary A. Crisafulli

DAVENPORT - Davenport Town elected officials strife over Clerk Linda Adam's hours. Board members and Highway Superintendent Fred Utter believe it is in the town's best interest to have a clerk available on Saturdays. Currently, Adam is at the office Tuesday through Thursday from 9 a.m. until noon.

Utter said there should be a clerk available Monday through Saturday for the transfer station needs. "For 100 years this place has always been open Monday through Saturday," he said. According to Utter, this was the schedule when Adam accepted the position. 

Council Member Norman Schubert said the main complaint he hears is that the town hall is closed. "There is a need to be open," he said.

However, Adam said she is unavailable to work on Saturdays. She noted that no other towns in Delaware County have clerks working weekends. "Well hire a deputy, I can't find anybody," said Adam. She said that Court Clerk Karen Smith has been assisting as an unofficial deputy clerk. Smith is in the office Monday through Wednesday.

The board decided to advertise to hire a deputy clerk to work Monday, Friday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. with a salary to be negotiated. 

The board will also advertise for a heavy equipment operator with a CDL license minimal Class B.

The town also accepted Bookkeeper Sandy Whittaker's resignation and appointed Karen Kropp to replace her.

In another discussion, Kelso is seeking grant opportunities through Congressman Marc Molinaro and Senator Peter Oberacker. He mentioned that Roxbury was recently awarded $1.25 million from Molinaro for water infrastructure improvements. Kelso explained that potential water district modifications require discussion.

In April the board appointed Carol Malz as water district bookkeeper. Malz researched property lines and developed a document of questions for Utter and board members. A meeting is scheduled for next week. "This is a start," said Kelso.

The board and Utter briefly discussed options for rectifying water volume issues. Some suggestions included drilling additional wells, though Utter explained that a wells requires a costly pump station to be installed for chlorine treatment. 

Kelso suggested using gravity to bring water down a hill to the existing pump house, but Utter said the pipes would need to be larger.  

Schubert noted that rectifying water issues is a major commitment for only 36 homes. He added that when the development of a water district first came to the board he was against it.

Council Member Mark Miller reminded Schubert that regardless of the past, the town has a water district that they must continue to care for.

In other business:

Town assessors Michael Bordinger-Lutz and Glenna Jeschke were permitted to attend the annual seminar of assessors at Cornell University from July 14-18. New York will reimburse half of the training cost and the remainder of Jeschke's costs will be split with the Town of Worcester.

Councilmembers entered into an executive session to discuss a personnel matter.

Smith was permitted to attend the annual magistrate court conference training in Niagara Falls.

The town donated $500 to the Charolot Valley Senior Citizens Association.

The next scheduled town council meeting is Tuesday, June 18, at 7 p.m.

Hannah Tuttle gave up no hits over seven innings, striking out nine M/E batters. She helped her cause as she had three hits over her five at bats and scored two runs in the win. Teammate Ashtyn Hansen also went 3 for 5 behind the bat, connecting on a double and had four funs bated in and Megan Carroll added a trio of hits for four more runs.

Kortright Adopts Noise Ordinance, Seeks Dog Catcher

By Liz Page

BLOOMVILLE –  No one showed up for a public hearing on a proposed noise ordinance in the town of Kortright and council members adopted the new ordinance. They again discussed an increase in the building permit fees and are again issuing an appeal to anyone interested in servicing as a dog control officer to contact Town Clerk Kristen Craft.

"We are still looking for a dog control officer," said Supervisor George Haynes. "Anyone who may be interested, or who has questions about the job may contact me or the town clerk."

There was a lengthy discussion on the building permit fees as Code Enforcement Officer Josh Morgan explained the fee based on the cost of the project is representative of the number of inspections required. Last month, Councilman Mike Pietrantoni asked if a fee could be charged for those who needed a re-inspection because the initial inspection failed. Morgan said it may be difficult to collect the fees and may be difficult for him to track, if it was paid or not.  Morgan said there are a lot of new regulations and he believes the fee schedule covers it. In the future there will be even more as the new energy codes come into play as the state moves forward with new electric requirements and greener living. The fee he is proposing is like a sliding scale, the more expensive a project, the more inspections are needed and the rate increases relative to the project cost. No action was taken on Monday.

The fees are being raised because at this point to ensure they are covering the cost of the inspector. The town's fees have not been increased in several years and lag behind those charged by other towns. 

Bloomville may get another post office, or at least a modular version, depending on whether the United States Postal Service is covering the electric hookup, or the town will have to pay for it. The cost of the hookup would mean the town would not break even on the cost for the first five years, with the lease a $2,100  per year to set the modular on town property behind the town hall. The lease would increase to $2,252  per year after the fifth year. Council members approved locating the small-scale post office, but not if it was going to cost them money upfront. Supervisor George Haynes will research exactly what is needed from the town to locate the new post office.

The town hall is now brighter as the final installation of the new lights was completed recently.

The town will also post No Parking signs along the street next to the old school and playground where parents coming in for Little League games have been parking on both sides. It impeded the response of emergency vehicles from the nearby Bloomville Fire Department. Therefore parking will be restricted to one side only to allow passage of large emergency vehicles.
