The Prattsville Scoop

By Abby and Gabby

PRATTSVILLE – Thank you to all our veterans, EMTs, medical doctors, rescue squads and all those who are on duty for our health and safety.

Correction to last week’s column. Sandy Mattice was identified as Sandy Lane and yes her maiden name is Lane but she is now Sandy Lane (Mrs. Larry) Mattice. Error corrected and our apologies. Right, Connie?

Want something to do? There will be a Victorian Tea at the Zadock Pratt Museum on Saturday, September 13, 2025 for the benefit of the Zadock Pratt Museum. There will be three seatings, 11:30 AM, 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM. “You’re invited to an elegant afternoon of tea, finger sandwiches, and homemade desserts, set in the historic charm of Zadock Pratt’s homestead. $35 per person. Gift Basket Raffle and Prizes. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Text Lisa: (713) 594-8118. Dressy attire encouraged, but not required.” What a special way to support our own Museum and enjoy day of socializing.

Memorial services were held Saturday for Prattsville born David Enderlin and many turned out in David’s memory. His brother James “Jimmy” was here in honor of his brother and got to renew memories with many friends and acquaintances. David, with his mother Eleanor and father Clifford now deceased, lived on Washington Street for many years and took an active part in greeting all his neighbors with a friendly smile and “Hi”. Clifford ran the Prattsville Hardware, now the Art Center, and Eleanor had the ceramic shop behind their house conducting lessons to many in the glazing and painting of their figurines of choice. She also did miniature oil paintings. Jimmy’s sister Mary is also deceased. Not sure the exact connection but where Shelly and Elliott Brainard now live was known as the Enderlin farm. Perhaps sisters Janice Cammer and Diane Cammer Eklund can give us a clue as their mother Evelyn was an Enderlin.

Big town wide yard sale this Saturday, August 9, in Stamford, beginning at 9 AM. But does anyone really wait until the starting hour? Hope the weather plays nice but it is predicted to be very warm. Bring lots of water.

The moon Monday night had an unusual color due to the impure air caused by the fires out west. It was still worthwhile seeing. We are warned not to stay outside for a long time during this pollution because of the impure particles in the air, especially the elderly and those with compromised breathing conditions. Be careful.

Randy Brainerd continues his recovery from hand surgery. He is still very active and continues looking forward to complete use of his hand. Brother Gene Brainerd and wife Debbie try to make sure he behaves himself. Yeah, sure. Debbie and Gene were celebrating either their anniversary, July 23, or Debbie’s birthday, July 24, Saturday evening at the Prattsville Tavern. Whatever it was, they were both smiling and enjoyed talking with their acquaintances.

On the feel better list is Ronnie Cline and Claudia Bracaliello. Both will welcome your prayers.

Cousins Tony Marsh and Tammy Armlin, Steph Braswell, Bobby Gurley, Schuyler and Patty Minew, Benny and Sandy Benjamin, Shelly and Elliott Brainard, joined cousins from Rochester Tony and Joanne Lewandowski and local members of the “older” generation Kitty Ballard and Ginny Gurley for an afternoon of laughter and great food on Sunday. The aforementioned men can dispel the myth that the ladies talk more than the gentlemen. Cannot name the food that tasted the best, they were all delicious. Joanne brought bags and bags of Christmas material to be used for the Christmas gift bags for the veterans at the Stratton VAMC. Thanks Joanne. She and Tony L. are very involved members of their Rochester American Legion Post 468 and American Legion Auxiliary Unit 468.

Prattsville has been a very busy town – Jim’s Great American, the Prattsville Tavern and Young’s Ace Hardware had a really busy weekend. The Great American parking lot and Main Street parking was at a premium. Of course the Barrier Dam swimming area was packed.

Happy Birthday to Michelle Petricini on August 9. On August 10 it is Happy Birthday toSkyler Blain. Happy Birthday to Eric Lane, son of Jane and John Lane, on August 11. Beth Ballard is wished a very Happy Birthday on August 14. Sending Mary Mundy very Happy Birthday wishes on August 15. Adam and Kelly Brainard are wished a great celebration for the anniversary on August 10.

Traditionally Speaking…by Pat Larsen - The lost art of “Welcome”

I’d have thought at this point in our lives, we’d be experts at offering a warm welcome to a newcomer by now. We’ve been that new kid on the block before, the outsider, the new member of that well established club, feeling that anxiety and degree of  uncertainty as we signed in to be a part of something new for the first time. It can be uncomfortable sometimes but also well worth that effort as we’re greeted and introduced and offered a seat at the table, whichever “table” it is that we are seeking to be a part of.

Don’t you think?

One issue that could cause some resistance on our part, at times, might be remembering names because it can be hard to do. We can laugh about it and just ask for that reminder the next time we encounter that person. 

Nodding and repeating a person's name and reoffering “ours” can sometimes help but being honest and straightforward is the best approach all the way around.

There are definitely two sides to this coin, isn’t there?

Why is it so hard to open up to the art of being “welcoming” sincerely to someone new in our community?

I think from what I’ve personally experienced it relates to not fully comprehending a  new person's  feelings of vulnerability when they’re not familiar with a group and their true desire to just want to fit in easily but uncertain as to how to do that.

I do recall the first time I attended a new place of worship and felt a surprising level of invisibility. Even after the service ended, not a single soul that I crossed paths with, gave me a nod of welcome with a simple gesture of a polite smile. In truth, I was more intrigued by this lack of effort than put off. I am always seeking ways to help those in my day to day classes and programs who might be encountering the same issues. It also enlightened me as to why more individuals chose not to attend a program or a class because they were doing so as a solo participant.

It’s a hard thing to do…! All the way around.

I hope this short but poignant consideration has piqued your interest or might create a conversation that focuses your group on developing new ways to greet and welcome those new to your gathering.

Welcome committees might also be educated with some simple dialogue and  learning some kind inquiries that begin the process of inclusion within your group. Starting with something as sincere and making eye contact coupled with a smile. Elevating your tone might also be helpful , just in case, the new person has a hearing issue that is not outwardly noticeable at first. Many times, if you offer someone new time to speak, you’ll learn more than overtalking would ever do.

To welcome someone means to make space, in your group, in your heart and in your recollection of their intentions when you see them a second or more times.

It’s a gift you give to others and possibly, if it's an amicable development of a relationship, to each other. 

This world, our worlds, just become a better place to live.

Public Hearing Scheduled on Windham Draft Zoning

WINDHAM — Thanks to a State planning grant, the Town of Windham is considering adopting  zoning regulations for the first time in its history. A Zoning Commission appointed by the Town Board in  2023 has been working for over two years on the draft regulations, and a public hearing will be held on Tuesday, August 19, 2025 at 7PM to hear initial feedback and comments from residents and property  owners. The public hearing will be held at the Windham Centre Church Property located at 5379 NYS  Route 23 in Windham.
“Zoning governs the way land in a municipality is used and developed,” explained Senior Planner Helen  Budrock of Delaware Engineering. “It works by dividing the Town into separate districts, or zones.  Within each zone, all properties are subject to a uniform set of regulations that govern the use and  intensity of development permitted on that parcel.”
Since New York is a home rule state, every municipality has the choice of whether or not to adopt  zoning, but most towns in the state regulate development in this way. The Zoning Commission is  required by law to hold one or more public hearings on the draft zoning regulations before referring  them to the Town Board. After that, the Town Board is required to hold their own public hearing prior  to adoption.  
“This has been a long process, and the Town Board recently had an opportunity to provide some  preliminary feedback on the draft regulations,” explained Town Supervisor Tom Hoyt. “The Zoning  Commission has worked very hard on this, and this first hearing will give Town residents an opportunity  to ask questions and let us know what they think.”  
An interactive on-line Zoning Map and a copy of the draft zoning regulations can be found at  https://wearewindham2040.com/ or at the Town’s web site at https://townofwindhamny.com/. A  printed copy is also available for viewing at the Town Hall in Hensonville.

The Golden Hour Art Show Starts Aug. 16

Golden Light Shines on Quebec, Trautman

WINDHAM — The Windham Arts Alliance is excited to present a new show, The Golden Hour, in collaboration with the Main Street Community Center featuring members of WAA. The show will take place August 16 to September 12. Opening Reception and Meet the Artists will be August 16th, 2pm-5pm with music by Scott Berwick at the Main Street Community Center, 5494 Main Street (SR 23), Windham NY 12496.

Over twenty artists using a variety of approaches are participating in this show. There will be examples of photography, printmaking, pastels, watercolor, oil, acrylic and multimedia works. Each  participant looked at the concept of the Golden Hour through the lens of an artist resulting in beautiful yet very different styles of work.

The Golden Hour in art describes the period just after sunrise or before sunset when there is a reddish or golden hue in the sky creating long shadows. At this time of day the sunlight is lower to the horizon and has to travel through more of the earth’s atmosphere thereby creating warmer hues. The mood is enhanced by the diffused light and dramatic colors in the sky. The warmth has enticed artists and inspired works resulting in the most radiant colors. This fleeting time of day attracted many artists to participate in Windham Arts Alliance’s Paint Out this summer and the show to follow. We gathered at the Windham Path and worked  to capture the mood of the day. The colors at dawn are seen to represent hope for a new day and at dusk a feeling of hope and beauty on the horizon in the future. Changing your color pallet to include more oranges and pinks is like changing the tempo of a song.

The opening will feature Scott Berwick, a local singer and song writer. His melodic tunes changing tempo will enhance your experience. 

Please join the WAA at the Main Street Community Center to see what our arts community has created at the path as well as in other locations to describe the Golden Hour. Enjoy free admission, art, music, and refreshments as well as an opportunity to meet the artists.

Mountain Eagle Alum Smart Produces Acclaimed Film - Film Reviving the Quixotic Showing in Prattsville Aug. 10

 Barry's solo adventuring.

 

 

Confronting mortality 

Sanchia becoming her own Don

Smart 

 

By Matthew Avitabile

PRATTSVILLE — Mountain Eagle alum Paul Smart is producing a film that is receiving significant attention. He is producing Don Barry: A Quixotic Exploration, which features Barry Gerson and Genda Monter. There will be a showing of the film Sunday, Aug. 10 at 7pm at the Prattsville Arts Center at 14562 State Route 23 on Main Street. For more information, call 646-678-2394.

Arts have been a significant interest to Smart for decades. Before he moved Upstate in the 1980s he was living in New York City working with a literary agent, who handled famous writers including Isaac Asimov and Norman Mailer. Smart was involved with writing, poetry reading, and theatre. He described them as a “great way to learn you don’t go into these things unless you have money already.”
He built what was called a “motivating debt” while studying for a Master’s in Art Administration at NYU. He was hired by a colleague at the Independent Feature Project, prior to the significant rise of independent film in the United States. He helped run a film market and got to know a number of “major players” in independent film. Much of the financing at the time was coming from European filmmakers.

He then “jumped over the fence” into producing with some independent directors. This allowed him to get “close” in a number of projects, which he likened to creating houses of cards.

After moving Upstate in 1987, he started work at the Catskill Mountain News, the Woodstock Times, the Daily Freeman, and the Mountain Eagle. He worked at multiple papers at the time, which allowed him to make a living.

“It was fun,” he said. “It was a great way to get to know the area.”
He was also running Catskill Nickelodeon, which received state arts council funding to show old movies around the Catskills, including Westerns, foreign films, and silent films. 

In 1989, Smart took a French film for the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution, taking it nation-wide utilizing microgrants. 

After this he stepped away from the film scene and became more involved with newspapers and published a book called “Rockin’ Woodstock.”

“It was great when I got in at the Mountain Eagle,” he said, as the only regional weekly newspaper. It allowed him to work in Delaware, Ulster, Greene, and Schoharie Counties. He worked at the newspaper until about 1999 before moving back to New York City doing public relations work during the dot com era. He took a number of different writing jobs at the time before getting married and moving to Catskill, and has returned to Lexington in Greene County. He now lives in Art Flick’s former house, the founder of the fly fishing trend in the Catskills in the 1920s and 1930s. He worked for the publications linked to the Woodstock Times and related newspapers. He wrote a novel and other books during this period.

He always stayed interested in film, he said.

Around 2018, Smart and his family moved to Albany and his son attended school there. He took on an office in the press room at the State Capitol and wrote about local Catskills stories and also worked with the Albany Public Library.

During the pandemic, Smart was able to work remotely, including during trips to Europe. When in Milan, Italy the virus started to shut down the area. He contracted the virus early and was sick for about six weeks. His family decided to move to Mexico so that his son could pick up another language. In 2021 the family expected to stay for a one-year “sabbatical” but decided to stay longer-term.

“It was wonderful,” he said.

The film is 95 minutes long and was written, directed, and produced by Smart, edited by Isabel Companha Rojana. Hadyn West is the Cinematographer and music was produced by Karen y Los Remedios and John Martyn. Sound design was done by Pamela Casasa and post production was completed by Terminal, CDMX. 

Barry Gerson stars as Don Barry and Genda Monter is Sanchia Panza. Smart said that he was fascinated by Paul Quixote, saying that he failed the course that covered the book. He hadn't even finished the cliff's notes, he said, and not finishing it "haunted me." He created the film in his new hometown of Guanajuato, Mexico. 

Smart recognized that Don Quixote could be made into a film, being able to merge "real life and the literary in actual settings." He said that he recognized that he could "make a film myself." 

Quixote is an especially important idea to him since Guanajuato has been putting on a celebration of Miguel Cervantes, the book's author, for 52 years. There is also a significant museum and statues in the community. He said that for much of the world, Cervantes is a more significant figure than Shakespeare.

Smart said that he wanted to work with “non-actors” to capture the beauty of Guanajuato.

“It’s a way of connecting with the community you’re in,” he said. 

He cited his longtime friend, Barry Gerson, of Potter Hollow, who he likened to Don Quixote. The film was a chance to “honor Barry’s legacy,” combining it with Don Quixote. About two-thirds of the film is based on Cervantes’ works.

Genda Monter has an “otherworldly beauty” and was a gender-reversed role within the film. The narrator was played by Phil Grant, who Smart had worked with on the radio. He describes Grant’s voice as “better than Morgan Freeman’s.”

Over time, Smart built a crew and planned filming around the Cervantino Festival and the Day of the Dead. 

“Just the act of producing” the film was Smart’s favorite part, including organizing and feeding the team.

Creating sets, such as Don’s childhood was “magical” to him. In addition, he enjoyed hiring a drone for a day for film production.

The film also required between seven and eight months of editing in Mexico City.

“It was magical all the way through,” he said.

Smart said that the film scene has changed over the decades, including “gatekeepers” that make it difficult to get exposure for independent film. Money, rather than just the artistic value, often challenge filmmakers.

Much of the response comes the day after someone watches the film, Smart said. This allows people to consider the deeper meaning of the movie. After bringing the movie to the West Coast in screenings, there was a significant social media reception. After that, Amazon, then Apple picked up the film. It’s also being taken on by French and Latin American streaming services.

“If I care for my child, I have to teach it to walk on its own,” he said. “That’s happening now,” he added. The film is standing on its own, independent of the “monetary return.”

“It’s building up its own audience.”

Smart cited that professionalization of art often takes away from some of its meaning. Doing art by yourself allows you to engage and “recognize the continuing beauty in the world and not just the things that frighten us.”

The film "grew into a meditation on the redemptive nature of art and creativity." 

He is currently working on a new film, about one-half produced based on a writer from Phoenicia. Smart is also in the initial scripting phase of producing a film including two American and two Mexican children and their explanations of the history of their countries using toys.
