Written By The Mountain Eagle on 3/7/25 | 3/7/25




Saturday, April 5, 2025 11a–3p at the Headwaters Arts Center, 66 Main Street., Stamford NY

Learn to make handcrafted brooms with Poliana Danila on April 5, 2025, 11a–3p at Headwaters Art Center, located at 66 Main Street in Stamford, NY.  A traditional symbol of good luck, it is said that brooms can sweep away bad fortune. Whether you use it in a sacred space, as an art piece or as an effective sweeper, a broom crafted by your own hands is a beautiful and functional one-of-a-kind object. Registration is now open for the Handcrafted Broom workshop and the pricing options, $30/$60/$80, reflect the Roxbury Arts Group commitment to tiered equity pricing. To learn more about what tiered equity pricing is and how to select the pricing tier that reflects your financial reality, please visit our website roxburyartsgroup.org. 

In this workshop participants will make a 16 inch broom using an ancient technique and traditional materials. All materials and tools will be provided and at the end of the class participants will leave with a beautiful, handcrafted broom. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.

Poliana Danila is an educator, fiber artist and broom maker who loves working with whatever the plants give/gift us. Originally from Romania, Poliana watched her parents and grandparents working in the gardens, teaching in school and spinning and weaving with the wool from their sheep. She has bachelor's and master's degrees in landscape design and horticulture, and has had the privilege of expanding her knowledge of weaving, knotting, plant dyeing and broom making with well-known artists and makers at fiber studios such as Textile Art Center in Brooklyn/Manhattan, Fiber Craft Studio in Spring Valley and upstate NY. 

This event is sponsored by Margaretville Telephone Company. All programs offered by the Roxbury Arts Group are supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature, the A.

MAIN STREET COMMUNITY CENTER - Amy Silberkleit: Lithographs With a Local Look



If you think you have seen “Durham Road” (offered in lithograph form by Amy Silberkleit), it’s highly likely you have, not far from where the artist lives, in the rural hamlet of Conesville, out betwixt Schoharie and Greene counties. “I get a certain feeling when I walk on this road and see the three sugar maples that anchor the house,” Silberkleit says. “I can’t help but get a sense of the farm that used to be. It seems like it is always windy there, at the crest of a hill, but I am drawn to this place by the quiet too.”


Main Street Community Center in Windham, partnering with the Windham Arts Alliance, is hosting “Pressing Matters,” a solo show featuring the traditional lithography of Amy Silberkleit such as “Crop,” inspired by a cornfield along the Rail Trail between the towns of Bloomville and Roxbury. The exhibit runs until April 1 including a meet-and-greet reception on March 22 with live music and refreshments (3 to 6 p.m.) and a free print-making demonstration on March 29 (4 p.m.).
One leaf clings to its life-giving branch as another is “Letting Go” in a lithograph on transparent paper fused it to a monotype of the plant, Equisetum. “I love drawing the forms that leaves take when they wither in the Fall,” Silberkleit says. Two of her works are part of the Albany Institute’s permanent collection. 

“Sunflower” became “more interesting to draw once the petals fell and the seeds ripened,” says Silberkleit, a Windham Arts Alliance member and onetime artistic director of The Rod and the Rose Puppet Theatre, receiving her Certificate in Natural Science Art and Illustration from The New York Botanical Gardens.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade is March 16

Originally Published in Porcupine Soup

EAST DURHAM―The East Durham St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee is gearing up to once again paint the town green when the second annual parade marches down State Route 145 on Sunday, March 16.

Last year was the first time in 30 years that the Emerald Isle of the Catskills hosted a St. Patrick’s Day parade and thousands of people came out to celebrate as festive floats, color guards, marching bands, pipes and drums, firetrucks, and more made their way through the hamlet.​

“Last year’s parade was hugely successful and we are planning on topping it this year,” organizers say.

The committee has been hard at work for months preparing and on February 22 they hosted the Passing of the Sash Dinner Dance at the Shamrock House. Colleen McGrath Fenlon and Dermot Fenlon, owners of McGrath’s Edgewood Falls, were officially named grand marshals. 

Founded 51 years ago by Colleen’s parents, Kathleen and Mattie McGrath, the family-run resort has been a cornerstone of the East Durham community and local Irish culture.

Fr. Henry Reid will be aide to the grand marshals. Mike Hurson will once again serve as master of ceremonies. ​

Some 180 people attended the dinner, including Assemblyman Chris Tague who presented volunteer Natasha Voisey with a commendation from the Greene County Legislature for her “time and efforts in various capacities for the betterment of the community.” Voisey was also given a special Above and Beyond award from the East Durham St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee.

“It was Natsha's birthday and everyone enthusiastically sang ‘Happy Birthday,’” said Wesslock.

Filmed Locally - A Complete Unknown


By Bradley Towle

PHOENICIA — A Complete Unknown is the long-awaited Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothy Chalamet as the young songwriter in the early 1960s. With its detailed production and stand-out performances, the film received numerous nominations and awards, including seven Academy Award nominations. Among the film's Oscar nominations was Ed Norton for his nuanced portrayal of Pete Seeger, a figure who loomed large in upstate New York during his long life of activism and music. Aside from charting Bob Dylan's early days as a folk singer to his notorious decision to "go electric" at The Newport Folk Festival in 1965, director James Mangold's film brings Pete Seeger's vision for folk music into sharp focus, with a clear-eyed depiction of how he believed it could help tip the scales of justice. The folk world and Seeger may have lost the darling Dylan they'd wanted—and in fact, it never was Dylan's fate to remain a folkie— but that never caused Seeger to become cynical about his worldview or vision for folk music. The times may have changed, but Seeger had already become a well-established entity by the time of Dylan's artistic shift. His involvement at the famous Camp Woodland just outside Phoenicia, starting a few years earlier in the 1950s, offers a further glimpse into the musician and activist's vision. 

Founded in 1939 and inspired by FDR's New Deal, its founders sought to establish a summer camp for city kids where American Democracy would be put into practice. The progressives behind the camp aimed to walk the walk and ensured the camp was racially and ethnically inclusive while also acknowledging, honoring, and preserving the local culture of the Catskills, including its rich folklore and history. Derided as "Camp Red" by conservative detractors in the 1950s (it would likely be dismissed as "Camp Woke" today), Camp Woodland has been widely acknowledged as an "incubator" for the burgeoning folk music scene of the 1950s and 1960s. Only a short distance from his home in the Hudson Valley, it's easy to see how Camp Woodland would have been an irresistible destination for Seeger. 

Seeger had been blacklisted in the 1950s after refusing to respond to Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusation that he was a communist. That led to a lengthy blacklist from network television (The Smothers Brothers were the first to bring him back to national television in 1968). Seeger's status as a dangerous radical did not stop him (it likely emboldened him) but made it harder to hash out a living. He had a growing family to support with his wife Toshi and earned a living by giving guitar and banjo lessons, performing at venues brave enough to host him, and through work at Camp Woodland. It was Toshi's father, Takashi Ohta, caretaker at Camp Woodland during the late 1940s and early 1950s, who brought the camp into Seeger's orbit. 

Camp Woodland has been a well-documented and studied subject over the years. Bill Horne's 2016 book The Improbable Community: Camp Woodland and the American Democratic Ideal tells the camp's story and reflects on its legacy. Folk Songs of the Catskills: A Celebration of Camp Woodland is a 2000 audio recording of songs honoring Herbert Haufrecht, Woodland's music director during the 1940s, who passed away in 1998. He had also helped collect the songs for the 1982 book Folk Songs of the Catskills. The Norman Studer Papers at the University at Albany Libraries' Department of Special Collections & Archives boasts more than 15 hours of audio recordings of Pete Seeger singing and teaching folk songs to the campers at Woodland. The collection offers a treasure trove of recordings from Woodland's heyday, including Seeger singing the Woody Guthrie classic "This Land is Your Land." A recording of counselor Hector Angula teaching Seeger "Guántanamera" stands out in the collection. There is palpable excitement from the campers as they prepare to listen to the two perform the song before settling into a hush as the song starts. Seeger is audibly taken by the beauty of the song as it concludes, and as the campers applaud, he asks Angula what the words mean in English. The Cuban folk song became a favorite of Seegers (he would later record it for an album), and one can imagine a particular verse resonating with him: 

With the poor people of this earth,

I want to share my lot.

With the poor people of this earth,

I want to share my lot.

The little streams of the mountains

Please me more than the sea.

C-GCC Awarded $50K State Grant to Support Adult Learners

By Liz Montgomery, Porcupine Soup

HUDSON―Columbia-Greene Community College has been awarded a $50,000 state grant to support adult learners.

A total of $1.1 million in grants was announced Monday for 22 community colleges across New York for implementation of action plans designed to help more adult learners access transformational educational opportunities that lead to upward mobility.

Governor Kathy Hochul has already proposed offering free community college tuition, fees, books, and supplies for adults ages 25 to 55 who pursue degrees in fields like health care, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, and green jobs.

“SUNY's community colleges are engines of upward mobility, and Governor Hochul’s proposal for a free community college degree in high-demand fields will help connect more working-age New Yorkers to economic opportunity,” said SUNY Chancellor John B. King, Jr.

More than one in four SUNY community college students are age 25 or older, with nearly two-thirds of them attending college part-time, according to the governor's office. An estimated 1.5 million working-age New Yorkers have completed some college but have not yet obtained a degree.

“Our campuses are ready to step up to help more adult learners earn a community college associate degree and advance in their careers,” added King.

Columbia-Greene Community College’s grant will specifically go toward marketing and recruitment targeted to specific adult learner populations; expanded use of credit for prior learning; availability of academic offerings and non-academic support in-person on weekends/evenings; and creating a sense of belonging for adult learners, according to the governor’s office.

Community college campuses will utilize the grants to build out their strategies to support adult learners through July before beginning implementation no later than the fall 2025 semester.

ASF Celebrates The End Of Winter With Its Annual Ralph Hartman Tribute Cup

WINDHAM – The Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF) will be hosting the annual Ralph Hartman Tribute Cup this Saturday, March 8 at Windham Mountain Club.

The Ralph Hartman Tribute Cup celebrates the end of the ASF’s winter season. It is a fun race for all athletes who took an adaptive snow sport lesson with the ASF during the 2024-2025 winter season. Students who registered for the race will arrive at the ASF’s Gwen Allard Adaptive Sports Center at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning and go out for some last-minute instruction and practice runs on the racecourse. Lunch will be served at the ASF lodge from 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m. before the race begins at 12:30 p.m. The race will be held on Windham Mountain Club’s “White Way” trail. 

Racers will take two runs down the course, with their best time being measured for awards. Racers’ families, ASF staff, ASF volunteers and general spectators are invited to watch the race from the bottom of “White Way”, where they will be encouraged to cheer for the athletes as they cross the finish line.

Once the race concludes, the athletes, their families and ASF volunteers will attend the award ceremony at the ASF lodge. Not only will race medals and awards be handed out, but the ASF has several season-long awards that will be given to adaptive athletes and volunteers that worked hard all winter long. The Hartman Award, the All-Around Volunteer Award and the Volunteer Rookie of the Year Award are all given to deserving volunteers, while the Stu Smith “Magic Man” Award and the Robert "Buff" Donnelly Award are given to students who exemplified courage, improvement, enthusiasm and a love of winter sports. 

The party doesn’t end after the award ceremony. From 5:30-8 p.m., the Ralph Hartman Dinner Dance will be held at the Windham Mountain Club base lodge in its Seasons restaurant. Each year, the dinner dance has a different theme, and this year’s theme is the old west. Attendees are encouraged to wear their best western-style clothes and take part in the festivities. 

If you plan on skiing or snowboarding at Windham Mountain Club this Saturday, March 8, feel free to join the ASF crowd in cheering on these incredible athletes.

About the Ralph Hartman Tribute Cup

Since 1990, the ASF has held an end-of-season race that gives its adaptive skiers and snowboarders the opportunity to show off the skills they learned during the season in an actual race. Ralph Hartman, the man who the race was eventually named after, was a lifelong skier that lost part of his left leg due to a heart condition. One day a discouraged Hartman met ASF founder Gwen Allard, who introduced him to adaptive skiing and revitalized his passion for snow sports. Hartman became a student and ultimately a certified adaptive instructor who also helped gain funding from politicians and sponsors for the ASF.

LEGISLATURE STUFF - Anything but Blah

By Michael Ryan

CATSKILL - The world keeps whirling around whether there is a hot story or the same old same old emanating from the Greene County Legislature.

This week features the latter, although any resolutions or laws adopted are anything but the usual blah for the involved agencies and individuals.

Lawmakers, during their recent monthly meeting, okayed a lengthy list of measures and agreements including the following:

—The purchase of a 2025 excavator for the Solid Waste Department, with a suitable John Deere 135 P Tier model, meeting all the requirements, available from United Construction & Forestry for $212,500.

After a trade-in allowance of $77,000 for the county’s current 2022 Hyundai HX-130 excavator, the amount owed the dealer, based in Clifton Park, is $135,500, the resolution shows.

—The purchase of a 2025 wheel loader with options for the Solid Waste Department and likewise, a satisfactory John Deere 444 G Tier Wheel model is on hand at United Construction & Forestry for $176,000.

Subtracting a trade-in allowance of $105,000.00 for a 2023 John Deere 444 currently owned by the county, we mules of taxation owe the firm $71,000.

—The acquisition of two 2025 wheel loaders with options for the Highway Department and, as good fortune would have it, they too are obtainable thru United Construction and Forestry for $187,900 each.

A suitable pair of John Deere 544 G-Tier wheel loaders, measuring up to all the specifications, will ultimately cost $87,900 apiece (totaling $175,800), thanks to a trade-in value of $200,000 on a couple of 2019 John Deere 544K wheel loaders currently owned by the county.

—The acquisition of a 2025 John Deere 85 P Tier Excavator (with options) for use by the Highway Department, to be delivered by - guess who? - United Construction and Forestry for $136,000.

Unlike the first three deals, there is no trade-in. Legislature chairman Patrick Linger noted, with fiscal exuberance, that funds for all the transactions are already included in the 2025 budget.

“There is no borrowing,” Linger said. All four procurements are channelled through Sourcewell Contract #011723-JDC, a State Office of General Services agreement that keeps the price at a minimum.

That fiscal savings can be similarly shared by the county with local municipalities, often resulting in happy rather than sad spending.

—The buying and installation of a high pressure breathing air compressor and fill station system for the county’s Emergency Services Center.

Solicitations for the apparatus went out in December with two bids received including the lower offer of $74,920 submitted by AAA Emergency Supply, headquartered in White Plains.

The second estimate came from a local dealer but was multiple thousands of dollars more than the accepted deal, officials said.

Lawmakers further authorized the county treasurer to transfer the 75 G’s from an Emergency Services Reserve Fund to Appropriated Reserve.

—The purchase of a vehicle for the county Buildings and Grounds agency, going through the State Office of General Services competitive mini-bid process, finding a little beauty for $50,997.65.

Buildings and Grounds will be getting a 2025 Ford F259 XLT Super Cab 4x4 from McGuire Ford, based in Ithaca.

Funds were already written into the 2025 budget, the measure states, noting the department will surplus a 2013 Ford F250 model.

—A pay increase for election inspectors which has not happened since 2018 and covers various elements of the job.

Lawmakers passed a resolution stating State that election law requires four inspectors per district, drawing equally from the two major political parties.

“The efficient and fair administration of elections in Greene County, and all of New York State, is dependent on capable and trained election inspectors being available to work at our voting poll sites,” the measure states.

Election inspectors are required to work “extremely long hours” in General and Primary elections (5:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. or later) and “long hours” (10:30 a.m. 9:30 p.m..or later) for Village vote, the measure states.

Compensation for the inspectors will be raised thusly: General and Primary elections (from $225 to $275); Village elections (from $125 to $175) and Training Sessions (from $25 to $30).
