Jen Schwartz

WINDHAM — Briars & Brambles Bookstore with Jen Schwartz joined the podcast to talk books, Windham, books, Main Street Community Center, books, and more books. 7 years ago, Jen found herself in need of a new book to read while at her home on Windham Mountain and quickly realized there was not only nothing in town, but there were no options even at a reasonable drive! Well one thing leads to another and within a few months the lease was signed and the boxes of books began flowing in. It did not take long for people to catch on to this new addition to Windham and new clubs, programs, and projects around reading, authors, and art have followed ever since. One of these projects, amidst Covid no less, was the birth of the Main Street Community Center (see our first ever podcast featuring the executive director Sadhbh Aborn). Jen, alongside a few other like minded individuals, took advantage of an opportunity on a building right on main street in Windham and put together a 501c3 that has since served so many people of the town and surrounding areas. The value of both the book store and the community center can not be overstated and have lead to other community focused projects (including the Hear Here podcast). The bookstore is and will continue to be a hub of knowledge, discussion, and encouragement to everyone who sets foot inside! Remember to shop locally, those dollars kept in small businesses in our town keep our friends and families employed!

Local History with Dede Terns-Thorpe - Haines Tribute

 

 

This information was written by Nancy Haines McGowan. On September 10, 2025, the Haines family will pay tribute to the Town of Hunter's earliest history. The plaques and signage will be placed near the headstones of those historical citizens.

Evergreen Cemetery Tannersville, New York

Today we are gathered to recognize and pay tribute to the earliest settlers of today's Town of Hunter, many of whom are buried here at Evergreen. The oldest known internment here dates back to 1806.

Nearby once stood the First Methodist Episcopal Church (Union Society), a beacon of faith and community.

Also nearby is Dibbles Dam, where the Olmstead Settlement flourished. There, in 1794, the first gristmill began turning, soon accompanied by a tannery. These were essential lifeline 

that sustained the hardy pioneers in the remote wilderness. Life in the early 1800s Catskills was tremendously challenging. Winters were brutally cold with heavy snow and piercing winds, with unpredictable summer droughts. Wolves and mountain lions prowled the thick forests.

Pioneers, among them Samuel, Elisha, and John Haines, and Gershom Griffen, who arrived around 1780, labored to establish their own farms in dense forests. The primitive paths were clogged with stumps and logs. Early settlers depended on bob-sleds pulled by oxen as time went on.

The first town of Hunter meeting occurred at Daniel Bloomers' home in 1813 at which Daniel Bloomer and Woster Perkins were presiding justices. Daniel became the first Town of Hunter Supervisor.

In the 1830's, the Bloomer family along with many others headed west. His young son, Edward is buried here at Evergreen Cemetery, a small marker on his grave.

Among those interred here at Evergreen Cemetery are individuals who served as early Assessors, Poor Masters, Fence Viewers and Commissioners in the Town of Hunter - John Wilson, Duncan McGregor, John Wilson, Samuel Haines and others, shaping the Town's earliest civic life.

The determination of the earliest settlers, under the harshest of conditions resonates through the generations. We honor them still as founders of a community born of courage, faith, and perseverance.

Thanks for reading. Have a happy and safe Autumn.

Take care,

Dede Terns-Thorpe/Hunterhistorian@gmail.com

BETTER THAN HEARSAY - Not So Easily Sought and Found

By Michael Ryan

CATSKILL - There is no disrespect meant, saying I was mildly amused by a recent report on the Greene County website about black bears.

Bruins are no laughing matter, evidenced by a story in the excellent online newspaper “Porcupine Soup” regarding a man who unexpectedly encountered one in his home a week or so ago.

“The bear was in an entry room of the residence where food and garbage is stored,” Porcupine Soup scribe Andrea Macko noted in her piece, quoting the Department of Environmental Conservation.

Macko further reported, “the homeowner did not see the bear, and when he entered the room, the bear attempted to get out the doorway and either bit or scratched the homeowner.”

The man was taken to Albany Med via ambulance, treated for several deep lacerations to his neck and arms and later released, Macko reported.

DEC trapped and euthanized the bear with Macko reporting, “the decision to euthanize a bear is one that DEC said it does not take lightly.”

“Humane euthanasia is always a last resort when an animal is suffering or presents an immediate threat to public health or safety,” DEC says.

That all happened in Round Top and my heart goes out to the gentleman. Lately, I have had reason to think about the same scenario.

There is a cemetery on my property dating back to the 1800’s and the family of Augustus Pratt, a Revolutionary War captain.

A well worn trail leads to the graveyard where I was walking, one afternoon earlier this summer, seeing what I thought was a shadow.

It wasn’t. It was a black bear moving through the woods in my direction not more than thirty feet away, quiet as a massive church mouse.

I don’t know who saw who first but I remember instantly hoping I wouldn’t have to square off against the brute, figuring it wouldn’t go well for me. 

Then I started looking around for some pots and pans. I’ve heard they are good for scaring off bears if banged together and I laughed, wondering what they’d be doing out there in the middle of the forest.

Suddenly remembering my situation, fear bolted through me, not knowing if I could outrun the bear, seemingly my best option at that point.

Fortunately, the bear disappeared into the thickness, which is why it was mildly amusing when the county website suggested what to do if a bear and you come face to face.

“The best way to protect yourself and wild animals is to avoid all interaction possible,” the website states. (Are they telling the bears that)?

“Slowly back away in the opposite direction; running may trigger a chase response from the bear,” the website states. (Now they tell me)!

“Make loud noises. Example: banging pots and pans together. (For those who may not know, cookware ain’t easy to stumble upon in the woods).

I get it. Bears are no joke. For years I have had -  or should I say used to have - a metal pail and tight lid filled with bird seed in the garage that a bear grabbed and beat to a pulp in my yard. So much for that grub.

And my property has a network of pathways cut amid high-growing bushes plump with berries that somebody wrecks in the night every now and then.

My guess is it isn’t hummingbirds. Whoever it is stomps through the brush as if it is a garden of daisies, and I have to push them back upright.

I figure it’s the same bear with the beautiful black coat I surprised, walking to the cemetery and down my dirt road another afternoon.

She or he was just ambling along, roly-poly, as innocent as a cuddly stuffed toy, the summer sunshine glistening in its fur. 

I was tempted to do everything the county website said not to, warning us, in bold capital letters, NOT to approach a bear.

But what I wouldn’t have given to lose myself in that Br’er Bear warmth in a world where comfort is something not so easily sought and found.

LEGISLATURE STUFF - Delighted to Dispense More Dough

By Michael Ryan

CATSKILL - There was rare pleasure taken in spending more money when the Greene County Legislature recently approved their portion of the 2025/26 Columbia-Greene Community College budget.

Lawmakers collectively said “yes” to an increase of $5,363 from a year ago, dividing with neighboring Columbia County a total sponsor share of $6,448,250 (representing an unchanged bottom line from 2025).

Greene County will shell out $3,049,817 in 2026 compared to $3,044,454 in 2025, while Columbia County needs to fork over $3,398,533 in 2026, going down the exact same total Greene County went up.

While stopping short of expressing jubilation about the upward fiscal movement, legislature chairman Patrick Linger was tickled pink.

The two counties pay an amount based on the number of students attending the school from this or that side of the Hudson River.

“We’re paying more but that means we have more students making the commitment which is very good news,” Linger says.

Lawmakers were similarly giddy about continuing their financial support of the Columbia-Greene Community College Foundation.

Affectionately known as the ‘Greene County Cares Fund,” the dollars, “will aid Greene County residents as follows,” the legislative resolution states:

“This funding is to assist Greene County students with college expenses,

including tuition, transportation and other miscellaneous fees,” the resolution states.

“These funds will be placed into the "Greene County Cares Fund", solely for the benefit of the Greene County students,” the resolution states.

The aid program applies to “recent high school graduates, non-traditional students and adult learners seeking to improve their lives by earning a degree or a certificate,” the resolution states.

Those getting funds are, “ineligible for financial aid, and/or need additional assistance beyond federal financial aid,” the resolution states.

“This fund also will assist those students seeking to enrich their lives by enrolling in non-credit classes,” the resolution states.

Greene County dedicates $100,000 annually to the program, administered by the CGCC Foundation which provides quarterly updates and a yearly report to lawmakers detailing distribution of the money.

Any unexpended funds remaining at the end of the year are rolled over into the ensuing academic year, the legislative resolution states.

“We get many testimonial thank-you’s from these students, letting us know this helps keep them in school,” county administrator Shaun Groden says.

Anticipated revenues in the overall Operating Budget fell from $20,292,283 to $19,793,532, but expenditures were a mirror image, dropping to $19,793,532 from $20,292,283, the CGCC numbers show.

In another matter related to education, lawmakers have established (and amended) a Paramedic Candidate Training Award.

Efforts are underway, after two years of discussion between county and municipal leaders and emergency services professionals, to potentially create a countywide ambulance system.

An industrywide shortage of personnel is a key issue and recognizing that reality, county officials are taking the proverbial bull by the horns.

“Training available to a workforce pipeline has been identified as a potential barrier for candidates to enter the field,” a legislative resolution states.

“The Greene County Legislature already provides funding to the Greene County EMS Council for the training of EMT’s,” the resolution states.

“The Greene County Legislature has recognized that the cost of training may be a barrier to candidates wanting to become certified as a paramedic,” the resolution states.

Lawmakers will therefore “make 20 Paramedic Candidate Training Awards up to $14,500 each available to candidates,” who must meet a set of eligibility criteria, the resolution states.

Recipients of the Training Award will sign a binding agreement that upon completion of the schooling, they will actively serve as a paramedic in Greene County for at least four years, the resolution states.

If they do not keep their end of the bargain, recipients shall reimburse Greene County for the cost of the award on a pro-rated basis, the legislative resolution states.

Sgt. James F. Carty, DSC VFW Post 1545

I would like to announce that our next Bingo night will be Thursday September 18th. We are very thankful for all the support from the community as we bring a night of fun. 

They will be serving lasagna at the kitchen along with hot dogs, soda, french fries and snacks brought to you by Main Street Community Center. 

Fall is in the air which means that the Autumn Affair is coming soon. Always a great weekend meeting people and enjoying the merchants, food trucks, music and people watching.

We will have our VFW tent up once again handing out information and selling our annual Veterans Day raffle tickets. Stop by and take a chance and meet some of our veterans. The drawing will be at the post building where we will hold our Veterans day breakfast on November 15th. 

Information for veterans this week: you will find that The VFW National Legislative Committee gathered in Washington, D.C., Sept. 7-11, to meet with senators, representatives, and congressional staffers regarding key VFW legislative priorities.

This year’s discussions focused on passing concurrent receipt legislation, specifically S. 1032, Major Richard Star Act; advancing H.R. 1845, TAP Promotion Act, to strengthen service member transition; supporting alternative treatments for PTSD; and pushing for reforms to VA community care.

Committee members will bring the voices and experiences of veterans from every corner of the country directly to the halls of Congress, ensuring lawmakers cannot ignore the needs of those who have served. Remember all veterans - the hard work of the VFW Legislative Committee gets results for benefits. 

Also, Researchers from VA West Los Angeles and University of California, Irvine, have reported that Agent Orange exposure increases the risk of lymphatic cancers by 60%, which is comparable with individuals who have a genetic predisposition.

Of note, veterans with both factors did not show higher incidence rates than those with either factor alone.

This conclusion is based on data derived from the records of 250,000 non-Hispanic White veterans in VA’s Million Veteran Program, making this analysis the largest study ever to examine this correlation.

This week I bring information regarding  a WWII sailor missing in action, Seaman 2nd Class Jerome Mullaney from Newark, NJ. 

In the summer of 1944, Mullaney was assigned to the destroyer USS Glennon, which participated in the invasion of France on June 6, commonly known as “D-Day." Mullaney was killed two days after the invasion, on June 8, when USS Glennon hit an underwater mine off the coast of France. The stern of the ship became lodged on the sea floor and after unsuccessful attempts to tow the vessel to safety, USS Glennon was finally sunk after being struck by a German artillery barrage on June 10. At that time, 25 sailors, including Mullaney, were recorded as missing. In 1957, pieces of the USS Glennon were hauled to shore by salvagers at St. Marie du Mont, France, where they were broken down for scrap. While searching through the larger sections of wreckage, a local resident found human remains within the forward portion of the ship. The remains were turned over to American officials from the Army mausoleum in Frankfurt, Germany, who subsequently designated them X-9296. The remains were examined but could not be positively identified at the time. On March 4, 1959, they were interred in Ardennes American Cemetery in Belgium.

To identify Mullaney’s remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA analysis.

Mullaney’s name is recorded on the Wall of the Missing at Cambridge American Cemetery, Cambridge, England, along with others still missing from WWII. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for. Mullaney was to be buried in his hometown on Sept. 3, 2025.

Remember these warriors who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. God bless all who served our country and God Bless America.

The Greene County Murders: Episode 11 - WHO KILLED DELORES

By Esther Cohen

After weeks of obsessively evaluating the evidence (what did that even mean?) Beulah Hill, school teacher turned detective at the age of 71, decided, after much thought, after filling 11 black and white notebooks with interviews, with details, with anything that crossed her mind about Delores, about suspects, and about murder as a crazy phenomenon, she whittled down the suspects to two: either John, Delores’s devoted lover, or Emily, his wife.

She was pleased with herself with writing so effortlessly -something she’d never been able to do all her life.  But the purposefulness she felt, putting as much as possible onto those pages, was incomparable.  She hoped she would be able to do it again: to solve another crime?

She believed that John and Delores really truly loved one another:  but could love be a motive for murder?

And although Emily was an obvious choice because jealousy was such a clear and definite motive, Beulah believed all her life that women are so often blamed for things – being a bad mother was a common and unfortunate notion.  Fathers were blamed far less often.

And everyone she talked to – family members especially, said John seemed like a much nicer person than Emily.

People used the word kind often.   Did that mean he couldn’t murder Delores?  Could you be kind and commit murder?

Although the very idea seemed impossible, maybe that’s what happened.  

In her notes about Emily (all in her Emily notebook) Beulah recorded the attributes she’d learned:  intelligent, competent, reliable, cautious, athletic, organized, and straightforward. What you see was what you get was what several people said.

Once more Beulah decided to confront them both at church.

Her second church visit in so many years.  Church seemed like a neutral ground. Driving over on Sunday morning for the ten o’clock service, she tried hard to decide:  Emily or John?  John or Emily?  The killer was down to that.

In a way, they both had motives.  Delores was in the way of their longtime marriage.  Although John seemed to love her, and Emily certainly didn’t.  

Maybe John wanted the problem out of the way.

Or maybe, Emily still wanted the life she’d had for years with John.  Imperfect, of course, but so was everything else.  

Beulah dressed for church in her one navy blue suit, and she even put on her twenty year old pair of low navy heals.  They were called pumps when she bought them. She chose a seat on one of the back pews, with a good view of Emily and John. She sat through the whole service, humming the hymns, listening to the priest whose sermon was about Helping Others.  Delores was who Beulah wanted to help.  By finding out who’d killed her.

At the end of the service, she waited by the old wooden church door, not knowing quite what she’d say to Emily and John when they walked by. When they came at last, they were holding hands.  “Hello, Beulah,” John said.  Looking right into her eyes.  He smiled at her, and didn’t let go of Emily’s hand.  “Hello Beulah,” Emily said too.  She too looked right at Beulah.  “We’re ready to tell you what happened,” said John.  “We killed her together,” added Emily.  “In the end, we wanted to be together without any complications.”  “Isn’t murder a big complication?” Beulah replied.  “Maybe,” said John.  “And maybe not.”
