Podiatrist Brings Skills to Margaretville Hospital

By Matthew Avitabile

MARGARETVILLE — Dr. William Hansen, DPM has been a podiatrist for more than 25 years, including extensive experience in Manhattan, Queens, and Long Island and will be bringing his practice to Margaretville Hospital starting this month. His current practice in Bayside, Queens has been in operation for 27 years. He received a Bachelor’s Degree from Hofstra and New York College of Podiatric Medicine, where he received his doctorate in Manhattan. The doctor is board certified in foot surgery.

Dr. Hansen has been coming to the Catskills since high school, when he skied at Belleayre Mountain. After a “long hiatus,” he rented a place in Willow, near Woodstock for St. Patrick’s Day weekend. While one day had a snowstorm, the next day was perfect skiing weather, which sparked a renewed interest in skiing, including a season pass at Belleayre.

He and his partner have a seasonal house in Roxbury. Hansen loves the area, citing renting for Autumn weekends in Bearsville. After the rental house was sold, and he rented in different locations, there was an offer in New Kingston. Seeing that part of Delaware was “so impressive how beautiful it was.” This led him to purchase a second home in Roxbury.

Dr. Hansen shares this home with his family and two Doberman Pinchers, Reyna and Axel. He enjoys hiking, skiing, boating and “everything the Catskills has to offer.”

“It’s very different than the Woodstock area,” he said. He cited the “picturesque” landscape and mountains.

When they found a place worth purchasing, he was “very happy to land in that area.”

One of Hansen’s patients introduced him to the Director of Margaretville Hospital. He saw a former podiatrist’s office that had been vacant since COVID.

“That’s what motivated me to bring back podiatry to Margaretville Hospital and the area.”

The doctor said that he loves interaction with patients. This includes significant improvements for patients.

“The beauty of podiatry is you often can relieve pain the same day,” he said. “Get people walking again.”

There are many different specialties in one, including vascular, diabetic, pediatric, sports medicine, injury, biomechanics, and more, he said. Sometimes patients don’t recognize the entire scope of the medical field.

Dr. Hansen’s skillset includes a number of vital services, including disorders of the skin, muscle, orthopedic issues, pediatrics, injury, and biomechanics.

The area needs the medical services, he adds.

The doctor will have a private practice on the Hospital campus, 42080 State Highway 28, Suite 4 at the Higgins Building in Margaretville.

He added that he’s “very excited.” The unexpected opportunity gives him a chance to serve the local community while operating with his New York State medical license.
“I wasn’t planning on it but when I visited the office,” he decided to “bring the care here.”

He cited the fact that the nearest podiatrist is at least an hour away. This allows flexibility to receive quality care locally.

Dr. Hansen plans to start his practice at the hospital in September. The initial plans are to be available for patients Saturdays. The doctor said the day allowed for flexibility for him and members of the community, including those working during the week and visiting for the weekend.

There is a possibility of expanding service into Mondays, he added.

Potential patients should contact Dr. Hansen at 845-701-3930 or online.

A Conversation About … Bling

GOLDEN TORTOISE BEETLE from iNaturalist

GREEN LONGLEGGED FLY bROOKLYN bOTANICAL GARDEN

By Jean Thomas

As I stood in my kitchen garden this morning, I watched another aerial combat. This little fenced garden has flowering vines climbing the “walls” and vivid annual flowers in an array of raised beds.  The combat is one common to any yard with a hummingbird feeder. This is the migratory season. Our summer residents have already moved south, and the ones we're seeing now are the transients from more northern summer homes. These little guys are more anxious, and don't nag for refills, but travel from color to color looking for fuel to enable them to travel, possibly, thousands of miles. I love watching their flights, always looking for a flash of the red (ruby) throat plumage of the males. I also just learned it's called a “gorget”, after a throat protector worn in the middle ages. AND I will see a smaller proportion of birds with the red flash because so many of the birds are juvenile males who won't develop the “red” feathers until after their first winter. The adult males always leave earlier, so there are even fewer chances to see the flashiness.

I recovered from the disappointment and enjoyed the glossy olive green color of their backs. Then some butterflies drifted past. More color, and more wonderful patterns on their wings. While the male hummingbird's bright bling serves a dual purpose of attracting females and warning competition to back off, the butterfly markings are often either a warning or a defense. Some of the butterflies have a little sparkle, but most rely on color. 

Other insects, however, go all out with the glitter. There's a little guy that lives on vines, called the golden tortoise beetle. It is about the size of a ladybug and positively gleams with a metallic golden coat. I'm always rustling through my morning glory vines to try to catch one. When I researched to learn how they managed to look metallic, I found out they use a method similar to the method used by the male hummingbirds. Both have a chemical and structural thing going on that interferes with the passage of light to choose and reflect their particular color. Both also control the “flash”: the hummingbird tones the color down when he chooses, and the gold bug can drop the metallic look for defense. 

There are many more insects that resort to the metallic look. The garden is full of “long-legged fly” species that dress themselves in glamorous coats of green, blue, red and copper. They also use a system of light control, having specialized ridges and other structures that bounce light around. Good news: they are mostly beneficial, don't sting, and remove lots of pest insects for us. 

Another star in the bling parade is the dragonfly/damselfly family. They use several different methods to express their colors, from pigmentation to light manupulation in their cells. Males and females often have different colors, and some change their colors responding to different factors like temperature or age. Some also have a thing called “nuptial coloration,” kind of like puberty in boys. Apparently this is so the mature males don't waste time competing with immature ones. It's wonderful when clouds of dragonflies hatch at once. It's like a tangible rainbow. These, too are beneficial insects. None of them sting.

This is a very short list of the jewels that are all around us if we slow down and look. I hadn't thought about it before, but these choices are not just beautiful but beneficial. Lucky us!

THE CATSKILL GEOLOGISTS BY PROFESSORS ROBERT AND JOHANNA TITUS - But We and the Glaciers Got There First!

This year marks an important anniversary here in the Catskills. It was exactly 200 years ago that Thomas Cole made his first journey up the Hudson Valley. He visited and explored the vicinity of the newly opened Catskill Mountain House. We have been told that he did not stay at the hotel, but he certainly explored the whole vicinity. We can imagine him hiking on the new trails with a sketchpad and pencils, looking for picturesque images. What a moment this must have been. Cole was seeing for the first time the scenery that would make him a serious and very successful landscape painter. There were so many views; they offered a superabundance of images.                                                

The two of us have spent much of the last quarter century retracing his footsteps. We have been seeing his paintings and the landscapes that inspired them in a fashion that has influenced so much of our writing.   We can’t let this anniversary pass without offering our take on Cole’s first year of work. Cole must have drawn sketchpads full of images. It was left to him to ponder and choose those that would become full-fledged paintings. Art historians have debated which of them date back to that first season. They agree on two of them and we present them here. These are important; they are among the earliest of the works of the Hudson River School of Art!

                                    

Our first offering is entitled “Lake with Dead Trees.” We know the view to be of South Lake shortly after a dam raised the level of the lake waters and drowned all the trees along its shores. We explored the north edge of the lake and found a boulder where we think Thomas Cole must have sat and sketched. It offers exactly the same view, and we took turns sitting where we think he sat. But we saw so much more than he could have. It was suddenly 14,000 years ago. We gazed south and watched a glacier coming towards us. It had passed across the Kaaterskill Falls site and continued slowly on to the northeast. As it advanced, it ground into the bedrock below and scoured out the basin that makes up today’s South Lake. We gazed as it approached and then we turned to the left and saw another glacier. It had similarly carved out the basin of North Lake. We watched in total wonder as the two glaciers collided. The collision zone is now the mass of earth that separates the two lakes. We had stood and seen what Thomas Cole saw – but we had also seen how the Ice Age had created the painting he did here. 

Then we hiked south to Kaaterskill Falls, climbed down a few hundred stairs and clambered up under and behind the falls. We searched for the exact spot where two centuries ago Cole had sketched another of his pioneering paintings: and there it was. We were, once again, awed. That’s hard to do to a geologist but we were looking at an important scene, a second of at least two birthplaces of the Hudson River School. Then we time-traveled - once again. It was about 12 thousand years ago and all that ice which had overwhelmed both North and South Lakes was melting – and melting fast in an episode of global warming – the good global warming that made our world hospitable. Raging foaming, pounding and – mostly – eroding torrents were dropping down from the top of the falls. It had been eroding back a full mile from the clove beyond, but on this day the waterfall retreat was literally grinding to a halt.

                                

We and Thomas Cole had shared the very same and very small dots on the surface of the globe, but we occupied two very different moments in time. Our take was different than his. He had been there two centuries ago. We and the glaciers had gotten there 138 centuries earlier.

Whittling Away with Dick Brooks - Football

The brilliant hues of autumn are starting to appear, chill mornings, leaves fluttering in the breeze, even at my advancing age, these signs mean one thing—football season.  I’m not much for tailgating and about the only football game I watch is the Super Bowl but I still want to slap a helmet on my balding dome and go out there and start banging heads.  It’s been over six decades since I’ve had a helmet on but I still get the urge.  I tried discussing this with Telly, my current canine companion, but I’m afraid he doesn’t understand football.  The ball, for one thing, is too big to fit in his mouth.  He does like the fact that you run with the ball and try not to get caught.  He does this with his tennis ball daily and likes having me try to catch him but can’t understand why all those other people on the field are needed.  He rapidly lost interest and curled up on his comfy pillow for a short nap.  Following his example I settled into my recliner for a short trip back through times long ago in my mental time machine.  

I remember my first day of football practice.  One hundred and twenty six pounds of romping stomping freshman manhood, I reported to the field house at the far end of the football field.  It smelled of sweat, liniment and other manly aromas.  I joined the line at the equipment room, gave my name, rank and serial number, was labeled Junior Varsity and given an armful of stuff and staggered into the locker room and picked out a locker at the far end near the toilets where the J.V. players dwelled.  We were told to suit up.  A lot of the stuff in the pile I had been given was unfamiliar to me.  I figured out the socks and the jock but put the hip pads on backward at first.  A step or two and I figured out that it would be hard to run and reversed them.  The shoulder pads were no problem since they had laces in the front.  The pads were made out of some sort of fiberboard with stitched cotton pads.  I pulled on the pants, they were supposed to end at my knees but extended half way down my shins.  I had enough room for another kid in them with me.  I tied up the well worn shoes with the spikes on them, pulled on my jersey, grabbed my helmet and ran onto the field.  The coach had us do exercises to warm up and then started teaching us basic football moves.  He demonstrated the three point stance and then told us to put our helmets on and assume the stance.  My helmet looked like the one Knute Rockne wore in the old football movies I had watched.  It was a steel pot on the top and something like papier mache sides with a leather strap that had seen better days.  Battered and beaten, it was the stuff of my warrior dreams of gridiron glory.  The only difficulty it presented was that it was about twenty sizes too big.  I got down in my three point stance and it slid so far down over my face that I couldn’t see the kid in his three point stance facing me.  We then had try outs to see what position we might be best at.  We ran by Coach, he handed the ball off to us, we were supposed to spin and run.  I spun, my helmet kept going straight and I wound up with my nose stuck through the ear hole.  Coach almost hurt himself laughing and took pity on this skinny freshman and sent me back into the field house with the manager to find a helmet that fit better.  At this point Telly awoke and asked to go for a walk, bringing my ponder and the start of my athletic career to a halt, he truly is my best friend.

Thought for the week—The latest survey shows that three out of four people make up 75% of the population.

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

Amy Masters: Interior Life Exhibition Sept. 13 - Oct. 19 - Opening Reception Sept. 13 2-6pm

ANDES — Hawk + Hive is pleased to present Interior Life, a  solo exhibition of recent paintings by Amy  Masters, on view from September 13 through  October 19, 2025. The exhibition opens with a  reception on Saturday, September 13, from 2 to 6  PM. 

Masters’ paintings inhabit the fertile space  between still life and abstraction. Vessels,  flowers, fruits, and shadows appear both familiar  and estranged—objects shaped as much by  memory and atmosphere as by observation. Her  layered surfaces, marked by grids, outlines, and  traces of revision, hold the viewer in a suspended  moment where domestic interiors become  meditations on perception, time, and inner life. 

Color plays a central role in these works. Muted  fields of pale blue, gray, and stone are  punctuated by luminous bursts of orange, yellow,  or red—chromatic sparks that animate the  compositions and shift their mood. Masters cites  artists such as Giorgio Morandi, Pierre Bonnard,  Richard Diebenkorn, and Jane Freilicher as  touchstones, situating her paintings within a  lineage of still life that balances intimacy with  abstraction, interiority with outward vision. 

Amy Masters lives and works in Arkville,  where she maintains her studio. A painter,  printmaker, and teacher, she draws inspiration  from her immediate surroundings—both inside  the home and in the landscapes beyond. She has  exhibited widely in New York City, Los Angeles,  

Maine, and throughout upstate New York.  Masters is a founding member of ADHOC  Projects and has been an artist-in-residence and  board member of the Heliker-Lahotan Foundation  on Great Cranberry Island, Maine.  

In 2021, she co-founded the 1053 Main Street  Gallery in Fleischmanns, NY, serving as its  director and curator until 2023. 

Opening Reception:

ASF WIM Women's Retreat Empowers Female Vets

ASF female warriors, staff and volunteers on the final day of the WIM Women's Retreat

WINDHAM – The Adaptive Sports Foundation concluded its four-day Warriors in Motion® (WIM) Women’s Retreat on Thursday, Aug. 28, with five female veterans participating in a variety of sports and wellness activities throughout the week.

“This was such an enjoyable week. I made some new friends and saw some old friends,” said Air Force veteran Anne Maker. “Having an all-women’s retreat gives us the opportunity to share more than we normally would in a co-ed situation. Being among all women, you can build a camaraderie with each other, and we tend to stay in touch with each other more.”

This was ASF’s first WIM event exclusively for women since 2019. The veterans arrived at the Gwen Allard Adaptive Sports Center in Windham on Monday evening, where they met the ASF staff and volunteers who would accompany them throughout the week. They also enjoyed a catered Mexican dinner from Zicatela’s II before checking into their hotels to rest ahead of their first full day of activities.

On Tuesday morning, the ASF shuttle picked up the group and transported them to nearby Tannersville for a hike along the Kaaterskill Rail Trail. The two-mile trek included scenic views of Kaaterskill Falls, offering photo opportunities along the way. After lunch back at the ASF lodge, the women embarked on a 12-mile bike ride to CD Lane Park in Maplecrest and back.

That evening, the veterans participated in a cooking clinic, hosted by hosted by Rick Quattrini at his home in Windham. They prepared, cooked and ate a paella dinner to put a bow on a busy first day.

On Wednesday, the group traveled to the Hudson River for a kayaking adventure led by Rip Van Winkle Adventure Tours. Launching from the Coxsackie Boat Launch, the group paddled more than four miles south, taking in views of both riverbanks. They came ashore at Quattrini’s second home in Athens, where he served a riverside lunch featuring chicken, steak, salmon, shrimp and street corn. Afterward, the group returned to Windham to relax before enjoying dinner at the home of longtime ASF supporter Rosie Stubbs.

Rosie and her late husband, Bob Stubbs—former ASF chairman—were early champions of the Warriors in Motion program more than 20 years ago. Rosie was thrilled to host the dinner, catered by Main Street Market, for the visiting veterans.

On Thursday morning, the retreat concluded with a calming one-hour yoga and sound therapy session at Mountain Breeze Yoga. The group then returned to the ASF lodge for a vision board workshop and lunch before saying their goodbyes.
