Margaretville Hospital Holds Successful Art Auction

Dave Rama Sr charmed the Margaretville Hospital Art Auction, with participants raising nearly $60k for the heliport 

By Robert Brune

MARGARETVILLE — The local art community went above and beyond to make Margaretville Hospital’s Fourth Annual Art Auction a resounding success, organized by…(needs clarification). Forty-four artists were donated to this cause to raise funds for the hospital heliport. With a great diversity of magnificent works of art, it exceeded the expectations of the organizers. The auction was held at the Margaretville Telephone and Cable (MTC) Community Hall this past Saturday.

Margaretville Hospital is a critical care facility where every second matters. This hospital is one of twelve healthcare facilities owned by Westchester Medical Center (WMC). There were 3,600

emergency patients at this location in Margaretville in 2022. Last year, 50 patients with significantly complex issues required helicopter transport to a higher acuity center according to the literature promoting this event.

Before the event, Dave Rama Sr. expressed his feelings on the day, “This will be my third year (as the auctioneer of the annual action). It really is a fun event. A tremendous opportunity to raise money for a much-needed heliport. I think the leaders of the community are here. People are like ladders to lift people up. Every year the auction has been stronger and stronger, the artwork is greater each year, the participation and donations by the tremendous local artists. We got some artwork from some very famous artists; we thank everyone for their participation.”

Upon entering the MTC Community Hall, the pre-auction crowd was pleased to be greeted by a long table of top-shelf drinks and refreshments. Artist Peter Mayor (sp?), who is an expert on art event openings, gave great praise for the impressive spread on his Monday night WIOX radio program. The atmosphere was delightful, with not a single seat unattended and standing room only by the time the auction kicked off. Rama, who brings forty years’ experience as a cattle auctioneer, floated through the room with captivating grace and a unique brand of fun, entertaining with his delivery of each piece of art auctioned.

Co-chair of the Margaretville Hospital fundraiser and member of the Margaretville Hospital Foundation Board (needs to be clarified, what is her actual title?), Beth Eckels shared her joy and appreciation for everyone participating in this event organized by all volunteers with the support of WMC. 

It was a lovely evening and a very successful fundraiser! The room was packed, and both the guests and auctioneer Dave Rama brought great energy to the bidding. We raised a record amount that will give us a significant boost toward full funding and starting construction on the hospital heliport. Seeing the community come together to support a great cause and celebrate the area’s artists demonstrates why this is such a wonderful place to live.

Co-chair of the Margaretville Hospital art fundraiser 

Jim Howie asked about the timeline of the construction of the heliport, “Theoretically this year, but WMC is reluctant to start without full funds upfront. We have been trying to get them to start since we think people will be willing to give if they see some construction activity.”

The target fundraising goal from the Margaretville Hospital Foundation Board for the year for the heliport is $400K. At last month’s board meeting, they had reached approximately $150K. Jim Howie has a rough estimate of nearly $60K raised from the art auction on Saturday. This gets the heliport fundraiser at the halfway point for the goal set for this year. Howie says there will be additional events through this summer and in the fall. WMC will be adding to the balance of the funds for the heliport construction. The total cost is undetermined with the opening bidding process which has yet to be completed.

Contributing artists included (according to lot number lineup): Patrice Lorenz, Holly Cohen,

Michael Reichman, Melanie Greene, John Curtis, Polly M. Law, Gary Mayer, Michael Linehan, Ted  Sheridan, Moshe Rosenthalis, Michelle Sidrane, Arne Haugen Sorensen, Robin Factor, Ellen Wong, Amy Masters, Roberto Dutesco, Peter Tunney, Christie Scheele, Emilie Adams, Hunt Slonem, Beth Casper, Karim Ghidinelli, Melanie Greene, Judy Howie Coury, Lisbeth Firmin, Peter Mayer, Steve Burnett, Stuart Bigley, Cyrus Henry Wagner, Stephen Pace, Bea Ortiz, Christopher Moore, Steven Weinberg, Ann Greene Kelly, William Duke, Jack Richardson, Chris Criswell, Karen LaFever, Robert Indiana, Sally De Poala, Faye Storms, David Finley, and R.

Andes Academy of Art Exhibition: Something Different

Artist Coco Dalton with her film producer son Toby Dalton and stone sculptor Ken Hiratsuka at the Something Different opening reception 

Coco Dalton with her son Toby Dalton at the opening reception of Something Different at the Andes Academy of Art May 18th 

By Robert Brune

ANDES — The three artists at the Andes Academy of Art opening reception May 18th for ‘Something Different’ share one thing in common, as each have chosen to have the courage to step off the path of life and create a new world of art for themselves. 

Coco Dalton

Dalton spent many years touring the world with the composer, singer, entertainer Meredith Monk up until about twenty years ago. After this wild ride of dancing and singing with Monk as a performance artist, Dalton needed another outlet to express he need to create art. Over the past couple decades Dalton has been creating psychedelic abstract art.  The astonishing thing about Dalton is that she is a completely self-taught artist, known as an outsider artist. Dalton refers to a line that she says describes her personality in her book, ‘Everything I Know I Learned on Acid’ – ‘Digressions incontestably are the sunshine’ which a quote by the novelist Laurence Sterne. This tapping into the intuitive runs parallel to the local outsider artists Tony Margiotta and Christina Varga, each of them with different styles of creating art but seeming coming from the same mindset. Dalton’s colors are so well chosen. Coco’s paintings, which she calls “scribbled auras,” combine words and images to

create evocative portraits of her subjects, both human and animal, her pig Albert, her donkey Emma, and a neighbor's cow, Bertha, are among those who have sat for their portraits. In these images, Coco is as interested in the interior life of her subjects as in their physical appearance—hence the use of words, phrases, and stories in her paintings. Dalton explains her process, “I feel the personality of whoever you’re painting is the most important thing. When you see a portrait, you want it to tell you what that person was like. Were they talkative, outgoing, or did they lead an active inner life that you discern beneath the surface? Sometimes I draw on tales from Greek mythology and the Arabian Nights because these stories express our fantasy life in a way that is often truer than the facts of our lives. We live most of our lives inside our heads and that's the quality I wanted to express in

these paintings.” Her faux Warhol cows were featured in an Andy Warhol retrospective at the

Chelsea Hotel in New York City. She also had the great honor of being banned in Walton, New York, where her paintings, hung in a bank lobby, were deemed “wicked” and “pagan.”

Eric Roguski

The dedication to creating art by Roguski could reasonably be considered as rivaled by few. This incredible sketch artist who spent three days and two nights (sleeping on the floor of the Andes Academy of Art) to install hundreds of his postcard size sketches with simple messaging reflects the world as he witnesses things around him unfold. Roguski, as with the other two artists in this exhibition, had health issues that forced him to leave his elementary school teaching position. This departure from his journey as a teacher created the time and space for Roguski to document his frustrations with society and express it in the form of simple dialogue with characters that he intuitively feels fits the topic. 

During the opening reception this past Saturday, Roguski was sitting at a metal desk, head down focused on another one of his sketches, as he said, “I’m not feeling the mood of this event” Giving him space to be inspired to talk about his work. Once Roguski sold a piece, he lit up and was ready to put his pen down and chat, “I’m not an artist. I don’t claim to represent the art world. I’m an educator, I’m a schoolteacher. Art was not my initial calling, it was not taught to me, but a lot of these creations come from the un-repressing of memories of stuff from the past, things that happened to me.” 

The messaging is vague, but powerful and relatable to most anyone. This reporter has never argued the perspective of someone that creates work for an exhibition, but Roguski is a marvelous artist. 

John Sanders

Anyone involved in the art community knows Sanders for his stunning abstract work with all forms of metal sculptures. Through many years of dealing with torches and chemicals as an iron worker in NYC and decades of creating metal sculptures, Sanders health has prevented him from continuing to build on his monumental achievements as a sculptor. Sanders has taken up abstract painting over the past year with results that reflect the creative designs of his days as a sculptor. Sanders is tenacious with decades of experience and knowledge in the realm of abstraction. He expressed great confidence in this new direction of his career, “I’ve been missing the creative process of making art. This feels right. I feel like I’m on the right path.”

A Conversation About Seduction

By Jean Thomas

Humans whine and complain about the weather. Plants, not so much. Their viewpoint is this: “we only have a short time to do this, so let’s get it on!”  Reproduction is, after all, the real purpose of flowers and fruit. Humans look at the beauty of flowers and anticipate the flavors of produce. We encourage our favorites among the plant kingdom, and bemoan the competition from the unwanted, AKA “weeds.” This is where the seduction comes in.There is a particular group of plants that has mastered the art of seduction, not of their own kind, but of humans. Right now, as I walk the dog, I am delighted by the aroma of honeysuckles in great billowing waves coming from thick shrubbery. The honeysuckle finishes its perfumery and starts making berries at the same time that the multiflora rose starts in with the same strategy. The rose is a double threat, because it produces a gorgeous scent and looks beautiful with its clusters of small white roses massing and covering the whole plant. 

Less ostentatious but equally successful are the burning bush and the barberry. Both produce small beautiful flowers that we don’t notice as much as the others, but they have won our hearts with their foliage and usefulness as hedge and display plants. Sadly, the above are all considered noxious plants in as many as forty four states. They’re kind of glamorous mobsters. Here’s the reason. Each has bad manners. They all rudely infringe on the territory of the native plants and can interfere with the plans we humans have for the land. 

 In no particular order, here are the details: among the varieties of honeysuckle, the villainous one is the Japanese honeysuckle. It was imported for its beauty and robustness, then “escaped.”  The problem is that all those sweet smelling flowers quickly become berries and are transported by birds. They get big and healthy and crowd out native plants that are healthier for the birds to eat. Another escapee from cultivation is the multiflora rose. This was actually introduced for farmers and advertised and sold by the government. Until it began to run amok. In flowering season you can see pretty clusters of white flowering shrubs dotting pastures everywhere. Nothing eats it, it’s pretty disease resistant, and it has to be pulled out with tractors once it reaches a certain size.  Don’t be fooled when a baby pops up in your garden. They are vicious. I call them the “mean roses” because their thorns are so aggressive. The burning bush and the barberry are also introduced species. Do you see a trend here? They are wonderful plants until they start to colonize. A baby barberry can have a fearful bite when the unwary gardener grabs one. The burning bush when not supervised will make an impenetrable clump of woody vegetation.  Both will make armies of seedlings and interrupt the normal life cycle of a field or forest.

The topic of invasives is a large one. I’m just touching on a few that are beauties and beasts at the same time. Your local Cornell Cooperative Extension will have pages of information, and the podcast “Nature Calls, Conversations from the Hudson Valley” has several episodes addressing various facets of dealing with the problems they bring.

Whittling Away with Dick Brooks - Political Changes

Watching the news tonight was interesting.  It was all about the government shutting down because they can’t come to an agreement on anything.  It was interesting that it was on the news since they don’t seem to have accomplished much in the past decade or so.  I guess they had to announce it on television or else nobody would have noticed.  One of the women that they interviewed commented on the fact that they were acting like children.  I beg to differ with her, she left out the “badly behaved” that should have preceded the word children.  My students learned or already knew about compromise.  You don’t get to be the line leader every time but if you’re patient you’ll get your turn.  They understood the premise that you have to give to get and that working together gets things done.

Congress has a 10% rating when it comes to their job performance, at least that is what it was before this latest debacle, Heaven only knows what it is now.  Do they have minus ratings?  I wish Will Rogers was still around, he would be having such a good time commenting on the present political situation.  I must not have been paying attention again.  Can someone tell me when all the Moderates moved out of Washington?  There used to be a lot of them there.  There were Moderate Democrats, Moderate Republicans, Moderate Liberals, Moderate Conservatives.  They all had one thing in common, the idea that “all things in moderation” was a pretty good plan.  They argued and tried to get their way but through the negation process they would reach a compromise.  Nobody getting all they wanted but everyone getting something and the Nation moved forward.  What happened to the Moderates?  They are still there but you can’t hear them any more because of the noise being made by the radicals on both sides.  The radicals are so loud, rude and abrasive that they seem to have cowed the majority of the Moderates.  They have bullied, threatened, pushed and shoved their way to the front of the line.  No compromise, take no prisoners, damn the torpedoes-full steam ahead, if I can’t have my way-I’m taking my ball and going home seems to be the pervasive attitude in Washington.  I think the only solution other than throwing the whole bunch out, even the Moderates because they’re letting the bullies push them around without speaking up, is to form a SWAT team and send it to Congress.  I would suggest including Mrs. Smith, my third grade teacher who wheeled the fastest knuckle rapping bird’s eye maple ruler in the school,  Mother Ursula, a devoted nun who could carry fifty pound sacks of potatoes under each arm,  Mr. Washburn, my high school History teacher who could hit you with an eraser from any spot in the room and Mrs. Beggs who wore a large ring which she used in a very effective upper cut to the ribs.  These were folks that taught me the art of compromise, the rules of politeness and how to work together.  We’ll put the SWAT team in a room near where Congress meets and if the Sergeant at Arms detects any lack of cooperation, rudeness, or bully like behavior, he can send the offender to the room for a review lesson in behavior she or she should have learned in Elementary school.

Thought for the week—I don’t make jokes, I just watch the government and report the facts.   –Will Rogers

Until next week, may you and yours be happy and well.

Interplay Artist Talk featuring Deborah Freedman, Janice La Motta and Amy Masters

Please join us at the gallery for a dynamic discussion with Deborah Freedman, Janice La Motta and Amy Masters about their process and the works included in Interplay. The event is free and open to the public on Sunday, May 26, 3-5pm at 1053 Galley at 1053 Main Street in Fleischmanns.

Deborah Freedman is a painter and printmaker whose work explores the tension between nature’s invisible physical force and a painterly, gestural, emotive interpretation. For the past 25 years, she’s been observing and drawing the Ashokan Reservoir and a pond near her home in the Hudson Valley. The collages in this exhibition are an investigation of a dreamlike landscape that is threatened. The pictorial space is warped or disturbed, echoing her disquiet about the instability of the environment—as if there is a hole in the world that needs to be healed. As an artist with monocular vision, this art form assists her in experiencing the water’s physicality in three dimensions. Her works resemble an eye, a geode, a womb, a portal or a bubbling cauldron. Recently she began adding the figure to the work, reclaiming her own body and integrating it into the landscape. The collages are also a reclamation of earlier work as she reuses sections of monoprints and paintings from 20 to 30 years ago.

Janice La Motta is a visual artist with an over forty-year career as a studio artist and arts administrator. She has balanced a career as a practicing artist while serving in the positions of museum curator, artistic director, nonprofit executive director and owner and director of a contemporary fine arts gallery that she ran successfully for eighteen years. 

Since 2020, she has been pursuing her studio practice full time. In October 2023 she returned to her love of gallery work and opened Art Bites Gallery, in High Falls, NY with her partner, artist Simon Draper. She lives and maintains a studio in High Falls, NY.

Amy Masters lives and works in New York City and The Catskills where she has her studio. She is a painter, printmaker and teacher. Her visual work often references the natural surroundings both inside and out and have been an ongoing source of inspiration. As an artist, she has exhibited widely, including New York City, Los Angeles, Maine and upstate New York. She is a founding member of Adhoc Collective, a group of local artists re-visioning the way artists think about and share work with their community. She was an artist-in-residence and a board member of the Heliker-Lohotan Foundation on Great Cranberry Island, Maine.

Local History with Dede Terns-Thorpe - Memorial Day

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, and honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day is Monday, May 27.

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years just after the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials and participating in parades. 

The Birth of Memorial Day, otherwise known as Decoration Day.

The Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865, claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries.

By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.

It is unclear where exactly this tradition originated; numerous different communities may have independently initiated the memorial gatherings. And some records show that one of the earliest Memorial Day commemorations was organized by a group of formerly enslaved people in Charleston, South Carolina less than a month after the Confederacy surrendered in 1865. Nevertheless, in 1966 the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, the official birthplace of Memorial Day.

Waterloo—which first celebrated the day on May 5, 1866—was chosen because it hosted an annual, community-wide event, during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags.

Did you know? Each year on Memorial Day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

Decoration Day

On May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan, leader of an organization for Northern Civil War veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance later that month. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land,” Logan proclaimed.

The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle.

On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Civil War soldiers buried there.

Many Northern states held similar commemorative events and reprised the tradition in subsequent years; by 1890 each one had made Decoration Day an official state holiday. Southern states, on the other hand, continued to honor the dead-on separate days until after World War I.

Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars, including World War II, The Vietnam War, The Korean War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

For decades, Memorial Day continued to be observed on May 30, the date General Logan had selected for the first Decoration Day. But in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May. This went into effect in 1971. The same law also declared Memorial Day a federal holiday.

Thanks for reading. Stay safe and thank a Veteran for their service.
