[email protected] MILLBROOK — The Millbrook Library has a full calendar of offerings for the public — most of which are free. One of the most useful programs might be Dutchess One Stop, which helps clients search for jobs. Once per month, usually, the counselors help with resumes, cover letters and/or other professional advice. Dutchess One Stop is a partnership of state and local agencies and organizations that seek to aid in Dutchess County’s economic growth, which, of course, is affected by (un)employment numbers. The career development services are basic and unique to each client. Appointments are helpful, but whenever possible walk-ins are also welcome. Meghan Heady-Amara is a One Stop counselor who visits the Millbrook Library; along with her colleagues, Heady-Amara visits 12 area libraries. Collectively, they aid clients in assessing skills, setting goals, writing resumes, developing cover letters and conducting mock interviews. They discuss both long-term and short-term goals, as well as proper attire and comportment.

Roe Jan Historical Society Board member and Copake resident Howard Blue initiated a project called the Bash Bish Flag, in an effort to conserve a flag that is more than 100 years old. It had belonged to the Bash Bish Inn. A meeting to create a committee for the project took place on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 10:30 a.m. at Copake Town Hall. The project to conserve this flag was proposed by Blue. The idea to pursue this project was tossed out at a history presentation he gave at the Roe Jan Library. At that presentation, Blue said that for his next lecture he would be joined by a 100-year-old resident of the town — the flag — eager to return to its home and bare witness at the next history presentation by Blue. Residents — curious to learn who this old resident was — went out of their way to ask him for hints, he said laughing. Once Blue showed up at the presentation with the flag, residents met the flag with applause, showing strong support for the return of the Bash Bish Inn flag.

Marion Ann Donovan NORFOLK — Marion Ann Donovan, a career foreign service officer and world traveler, died peacefully at her home on Dec. 22, 2015. She was 95. Miss Donovan was born on Oct. 13, 1920, and grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she played the violin and piano and read voraciously. Her love of travel began early, when, with her father at the wheel, the Donovan family traveled across the country in a 1928 Buick to visit historic and natural sites during summer vacations. Miss Donovan majored in fine arts at Barnard College, where she was a member of the violin section of the Columbia University Orchestra, had a special passion for archaeology and won a fellowship to study artists Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco in Mexico. She graduated cum laude from Barnard in 1941. Miss Donovan held several positions in publishing after college, then entered the U.S. Foreign Service, where she served for more than 25 years. Fiercely independent her whole life, Miss Donovan lived and worked as a single woman in Egypt, Turkey, Peru, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Chile, the Ivory Coast and other countries, sometimes leaving just before the outbreak of a war. She loved nothing more than the adventure of visiting a new city or country, and eventually visited every continent and corner of the world, often with her sister, Mary, who shared her passion for travel. Miss Donovan’s six nieces and nephew were the beneficiaries of postcards from all over the world, written in her witty and distinctive voice, with vivid descriptions of all she saw. Her passion for travel remained strong throughout her long life. Well into her 80s, she said, “When I get a new travel brochure in the mail, I lick my chops.” When asked to name her favorite country, Miss Donovan would always say, “The U.S. of A!” because of the freedoms we enjoy here. Miss Donovan found a home in Norfolk in 1982 after she retired from the foreign service. She was attracted to Norfolk’s natural beauty and the Yale School of Music’s summer program, but her decision was cinched when she walked into the Norfolk Public Library and found a fire burning in the fireplace. The setting was so comfortable and inviting that she decided that Norfolk was the town where she wanted to settle. Miss Donovan lived happily as a Norfolk resident for more than 30 years, where she closely followed local politics and events, loved the opera and the many arts the area has to offer, and enjoyed Norfolk’s changing seasons — especially the bold colors of autumn — while building a reputation as a gracious hostess who spoiled her family and friends with big meals and many wonderful weekends at her home. A lifelong animal lover, Miss Donovan was also a devoted supporter of the Little Guild of St. Francis, a shelter for cats and dogs in West Cornwall, and attended many of its blessings of the animals over the years. Miss Donovan is survived by a sister, six nieces and a nephew. She received superlative care around the clock during her long illness, and the family is deeply grateful to her wonderful caregivers: Tina Prigge, Madeline Falk, Theresa Kochiss-Padua, Marcella JencikovaSadlon, Mary Yard, Katie Hester and Stacey Roberts. The family would also like to express our appreciation to the other members of the Norfolk community who looked out for our aunt over the years. A Mass will be celebrated for Miss Donovan at Immaculate Conception Church in Norfolk on Saturday, Jan. 16, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, those who wish are invited to make a donation in Miss Donovan’s memory to the Norfolk Library, the Little Guild of St. Francis (www. littleguild.org), or a charity of your choice.

I also hope that everyone gets involved in the upcoming elections and that as a society we make a smart choice in who we choose to lead us into the next four years because it is so important for all of us to elect someone who will help make us a better nation.” — Susan Macura Millerton PHOTOS BY LIZETT PAJUELO “I hope that people can realize that we’re all the same, and can treat each other with respect regardless of their beliefs or culture.” — Rhiannon Leo-Jameson Millerton MILLERTON IN BRIEF Drum circle at NECC every Sunday There will be a family drum circle at 4:30 p.m., followed by a dance with the Berkshire Stompers from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., every Sunday evening during the winter months at the North East Community Center (NECC).

Something for everyone at 7th annual Kildonan Expo By KAREN GRAZIA Special to The Millerton News AMENIA — The seventh annual Kildonan Expo was held on Friday, Dec. 18, welcoming parents and families to The Kildonan School campus to view student work from the fall semester. Students presented their work in all subject areas including: science, math, history, literature, art, music and foreign languages. Keynote speaker Amanda Whalen, a 2007 graduate of The Kildonan School and now a designer at BabyVision, a baby and toddler clothing manufacturing company, gave a very personal address to students and their families. Following her speech, families moved throughout campus viewing students’ hard work during the past four months. Science projects included experiments, data collection and presentations. Math presentations took the form of games using mathematical reasoning and a musical video. Students in American Sign Language showed their skill by signing along to songs, both live and also in a creative video performance. Spanish students showed their understanding of the culture by making salsa, dancing and studying the music of Spanish-speaking countries. Charcoal drawings and photography were featured pieces of artwork, and musical performances were given with full instrumentation and vocals, accompanied by music teachers Michael Klvana and Johan Narsjo. The Kodiaks’ (grades two to five) extensive study of birds of prey culminated with beautifully crafted paper mache replications of their specific bird of study, guided by Kodiak teacher Erika Hollander. A full-size interactive cave, built by three sixth-grade students, incorporated the book “Boy of the Painted Cave,” which was read in literature class and woven perfectly into art to bring the caves off the page. Visitors could enter the cave, reveling in the precision and detail and triggering a recorded message that provided information about the students’ creation. Students were assisted in this massive endeavor by literature teacher Charles Brown and art teacher Todd Titone. Karen Grazia is in charge of media and communications for The Kildonan School.

[email protected] MILLBROOK — Millbrook Library started its January series of adult events with the Bowen Therapy Work Body Clinic on Wednesday, Jan. 6. Conducted by Danielle Molella, a nationally-certified therapeutic body worker, the session was attended by 15 participants, most of whom had already experienced the therapy first hand. The Bowen Technique was started by the late Tom Bowen in Australia. It’s a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue work that addresses the whole body, and treats a myriad of ailments, including: sports injuries, tennis elbow, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue symptoms and Chrone’s disease as well as many others. Some also claim it is good for migraine headaches and vertigo. Bowenwork is effective, yet gentle, inflicting no pain or forced results. It is used by many in the medical profession and can reportedly bring about rapid results. It is said to restore the body’s natural balance, thus allowing the body to heal itself. Studies have shown that competitive athletes who have regular Bowen treatments consistently perform better with an accelerated rate of recovery from injury than those who do not. Many have made testimonials lauding Molella’s work. One baseball player said he was in a car accident that left his left arm — his pitching arm — broken. After a few sessions with Molella, he said he could pitch without pain, and without hesitation. When there is acute injury, a Bowenwork therapist may concentrate on the injured part of the Sanitation Service Quality Service For Refuse Removal Recycling For The Future Amenia, New York 1-800-522-7235 | 845-877-9354 PHOTO BY JUDITH O’HARA BALFE Danielle Molella performed Bowenwork on a willing volunteer at a recent demonstration at the Millbrook Library. body, but generally Bowen Technique facilitates the whole body in healing itself with minimum intervention. That’s unlike many other forms of manipulation therapy. According to Molella, the body continues to respond to Bowen Therapy for several days after the treatment, which is why Bowen treatments are well spaced out. Molella, who hails from Millbrook, was living and working as a designer in Seattle when she decided to train as a Licensed Massage Practitioner; she started her Bowenwork training three years later. She’s been practicing Bowenwork for the past six years. She said that when she saw how Bowenwork helped her own body recover from injury she wanted to offer it to others. After living outside of the area for almost 20 years Molella has returned to her roots; she is back in Millbrook to practice her work. To learn more about Bowenwork and Danielle Molella, go to

Amenia, North East, Pine Plains and Washington have all done that. It’s at these meetings that appointments are made, salaries authorized, resolutions passed and a sundry of other housekeeping issues addressed. It might not sound overly stimulating, but it’s important business. Town Board members gather as soon after Jan. 1 as possible to make sure their towns can fully operate for the upcoming year. Without these organizational meetings, or reorg meetings, municipal business would come to a halt. And, it’s worth noting, as this paper has had the opportunity to sit in on more than a few of these meetings, they can be pretty interesting. It’s at the reorgs where one can find out who does what for the town and how much many of them are paid. Such financial decisions are actually made when the towns draft their budgets, but they get final approval and are adopted at the organizational meetings. Town Board committees and liaisons are also set at these reorg meetings. And that’s important, because that’s where one can learn which Town Board members deal with specific issues and departments — so taxpayers can know who to approach if they’re unhappy or curious about certain matters. For instance, Councilmen Steven Merwin and Jim Campbell sit on the town of North East’s Recreation Committee. Anyone with questions about how decisions are made regarding recreation — for instance the cost of summer camp — now know with whom they should speak. Same goes for other matters. Just look up the Town Board committee members or Town Board liaisons. That can be vital information. If, perhaps, someone wants to know who the animal control officer is, that appointment would have been made at the reorg meeting. So, too, would the appointment of a town attorney, a town engineer, a town’s depositories, a town’s official newspaper, etc. This last tidbit is important because it lets taxpayers know where to find legal notices, which municipal entities along with fire districts must publish before holding public hearings, adopting resolutions/laws and accepting bids, as well as to meet other legal requirements. Private corporations also have to publish legal notices before forming and to qualify for specific licenses, etc. The Millerton News is proud to announce that it’s the official newspaper for Amenia, Millerton, North East, Pine Plains and Washington, as well as for the North East (Webutuck), Pine Plains and Millbrook central school districts. Legal notices are printed weekly and reading them makes for good habit. But back to the reorgs, they’re mandatory, sure, and they deal with minutia, absolutely, but they can be interesting. Read all about the Harlem Valley’s latest organizational meetings in this week’s issue of The Millerton News. Chances are those who do will learn something new. A Latin lesson with a $1 bill A re you getting the hang of Latin yet? Salve (pronounced Sahl-way)! That’s “Hello!” in Latin. Let’s take a look at the reverse of an American $1 bill, where you will find both sides of the Great Seal of the United States. On the left, above the eye at the top of the unfinished pyramid, you can see the Latin words ANNUIT COEPTIS, which mean “He approves [our] beginnings or undertakings.” About 233 years ago designers of the Great Seal went back to the Latin poetry of Vergil to find words that would inspire the people of these new United States. Vergil lived between 70-19 B.C. Astonishing, isn’t it, to think that Americans have connections to ancient Romans who lived over 2,000 years ago! The Latin word annuit is a form of a verb meaning “nod, express approval.” We have a few unusual English words related to this Latin verb like nutation (a wobble) and the adjective numinous (supernatural, holy). From the Latin noun coeptis, meaning “beginnings or undertakings,” we get many English words like inception (beginning), concept (idea) and receptive (open to LEARNING LATIN Rowena Fenstermacher ideas). The designers of the Great Seal wished to acknowledge a divine Providence from the beginning of this new government called the United States of America. Readers interested in the many Latin words and phrases found not only on the Great Seal but also on other early American forms of currency will find this website of interest: www.greatseal.com/ mottoes/coeptis.html. That’s our third Latin phrase of the week. The next Latin phrase also can be found on the $1 bill, also on the Great Seal. Vale (pronounced “Wahl-ay”)! That’s Latin for “good-bye.” P.S. The obverse of a bill or coin is the side that has the portrait! Millerton resident Rowena Fenstermacher is a retired teacher; she taught Latin at Hackley School in Tarrytown, N.Y., from 1990 to 2015. Cartoon by Bill Lee of Sharon, Conn., and New York City A serious problem facing Congress T he argument put before Congress by the military industrial complex — whether in time of war or peace — is that the investment the taxpayer makes into developing technologies will benefit American jobs, benefit American commercial industry and, especially, thereby benefit American global strength. A great deal of that strength comes from commercial and financial strength. Now, imagine you are on the Congressional Committee hearing evidence on why we need to build a new stealth strategic bomber (as is currently being approved and discussed). General Robin Rand, “… modernization and sustainment can only take us so far, so we look forward. And with the LRS-B, that future looks promising. The LRS-B will extend American air dominance. …” And then they quote the price 2010 tag of “only $550 million per plane.” Air Force procurement chief William LaPlante told a congressional hearing that that price (in today’s dollars of $575 million already) “… excludes development expenses that AF analysts estimate could reach less than $24 billion.” That’s $24 billion (with a “B”) taxpayer dollars for research and development. Now, traditionally, last century, the taxpayer’s protectors — Congress — have ensured that those dollars benefit America. For example, Eisenhower approved and had Congress fund the development of a jet transport that, two years later, morphed into the Boeing 707. Jobs? Hundreds of thousands in America. Industry? Billions of dollars in American industrial profits. Global strength? America became the world’s leading aviation provider. Now, imagine if Boeing had taken that early transport technology and decided to build all their aircraft in, say, Japan? Think Congress would have allowed that to continue? A VIEW FROM THE EDGE Peter Riva Nope. And yet, today, American taxpayer investment in microchips, plastics, wireless technology, computer coding, touchscreens and a host of technological improvements are being trickled-down to American companies who then march off to China and elsewhere, provide jobs there and, to make matters really insulting, then refuse to bring corporate profits back to America because they don’t like to pay tax; keeping the funds overseas to provide more investment and jobs over there. Their entire businesses were built on U.S. taxpayer investment in basic technologies and yet they are marching off into the sunset with our investment. Now, if you are in Congress, when are you going to wake up and see that, for just the new bomber, the LRS-B, that $24 billion technology research and development program might not be a good deal for the U.S. taxpayer? The bomber may be necessary (that’s a separate issue), but investing with corporations who will have no restrictions on providing more jobs outside of America, keeping profits away from our country and, in so doing, further weaken our nation? Do you really want to fund something supposed to strengthen the nation while you undermine that very strength by providing research and development funds without securing sole-U.S. taxpayer benefit? I don’t know about other taxpayers, but I am not happy to think that the Tim Cooks of this world will take my investment and weaken the USA. Peter Riva, a former resident of Amenia Union, now lives in New Mexico. Environment and autism; and opposition to TPP Dear EarthTalk: What is the latest thinking on the environmental causes (if any) of autism? I hear so much conflicting information I don’t know what to believe. Bill Stribling Austin, Texas In the 1980s, about one in 2,000 American kids was diagnosed with autism. Today the number is around one in 68, according to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network. This disconcerting increase has led to intensified examination into what environmental factors may play a role in the disorder’s development. A wide range of exposures have been scientifically linked to autism, including air pollutants, phthalates and other endocrine disruptors, pesticides such as Chlorpyrifos, and many more. Vaccines were considered a leading culprit, but more re- EARTHTALK Editors of E/The Environmental Magazine cent research has proven this connection wrong — although the subject still engenders much debate. A 2014 study by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found a strong link between autism and in utero exposure to air pollution: the risk of autism was doubled among children of women exposed to high levels of particulate air pollution during pregnancy. Another 2014 study out of the University of California, Davis determined that pregnant women living in close proximity to fields and farms where chemical pesticides are applied experience a 66 perContinued to next page It was 10 p.m. We were returning home from 52 Main in Millerton. We are in our 70s and have clean driving records. That was about to change. Officer Michael Veeder, siren and lights flashing, pulled us over on Gay Road. Accompanying him was Sheriff Deputy Bonds. We have not been the same since. Officer Veeder said he spotted Louise turning on her headlights while heading north on Rudd Pond Road. He said he smelled alcohol. Louise acknowledged having had two vodka drinks over three hours with dinner. His alcohol detector failed to register. After several tries he became annoyed, accusing her of not blowing properly. He ordered her to perform several field sobriety tests. When it came to the heel-to-toe walk, she refused, explaining that she has diminished strength in her legs and feeling in her feet due to femoral bypasses and peripheral neuropathy, negatively affecting her balance. Upset, he accused her of not cooperating, handcuffed her, arrested her and put her into the back of his squad car for transport to the Millerton Police Station. Louise submitted to Breathalyzer testing, which she had to do several times while Deputy Bonds and Officer Veeder complained that the machine was not working properly. None of this was reflected in the arrest report noting an alcohol level of .09 percent (below .08 percent being the legal limit). She was alleged to have failed several field sobriety tests (some of which were never administered), to have had glassy eyes and slurred speech. Thanksgiving and Christmas were lost this year. Instead, we prepared for Louise’s hearing. We hired a lawyer; visited our physician for an evaluation of the officer’s report. The doctor’s conclusion: the findings were unremarkable for a 76-year-old. At Louise’s court appearance, the assistant district attorney acknowledged there was an issue with “probable cause.” Officer Veeder did not have grounds for stopping, much less arresting, her. Louise was offered a “deal.” DWI would be dropped if she pled guilty to a traffic infraction, along with a fine of $193 and two points on her license. If she refused, there would be a trial costing thousands more. She took the deal. The Millerton Police have a reputation for “staking out” restaurants on Main Street. They trail patrons, pulling them over for negligible infractions, claim to smell alcohol and arrest them for DWI. Officer Veeder was lauded as a “top DWI cop” in Dutchess County (see Millerton News 12/10/15). While the STOP-DWI program has good features and certainly preventing drunk driving is a laudable goal, this award creates a perverse incentive that rewards policing practices that are at best over-zealous, and at worst, illegal. We love Millerton. But, our sense of security and community have taken a bruising, knowing that the slightest traffic infractions can lead to being pulled over by a police officer more intent on becoming the next “top DWI cop” than on protecting and respecting the rights of the citizens of the town he or she has sworn to protect.

THE MILLERTON NEWS, Thursday, January 14, 2016 A9 VIEWPOINT EARTHTALK Continued from previous page cent increased risk of having a child with autism or a developmental delay. The advocacy group Autism Speaks, which contributed to the funding of the Harvard study, believes that despite all the emerging data linking toxic exposures to autism, no environmental influence appears to cause or prevent autism by itself — rather they appear to influence risk in those genetically predisposed to the disorder. “It’s important to remember that not all mothers exposed to air pollution during pregnancy will have a child with autism and not all children with autism were necessarily exposed to air pollution in utero,” said epidemiologist Michael Rosanoff, associate director for public health at Autism Speaks. “We know autism is a complex disorder and underlying genetic and biological factors interact to influence susceptibility. The next step is to identify the biological mechanisms that connect air pollution to autism and identify ways to treat if not prevent the harm to brain development.” While many studies linking environmental toxins and autism have been inconclusive, one developing research approach appears to hold great promise. Remarkably, fallen baby teeth can be used to track a child’s prenatal and infant exposure to chemicals — thus allowing scientists to determine what environmental causes may have contributed to the disorder’s development. “As a result, we can use teeth like an archeological record,” says Dr. Raymond Palmer of the University of Texas Health Science Center. “The enamel of different types of teeth begins to form at different points during prenatal development. In infancy, the enamel continues to absorb chemicals circulating through the baby’s body.” Palmer says the greatest insights from dental analysis may come from looking at chemical exposures along with gene abnormalities, which may affect one’s vulnerability to potentially toxic chemicals. “It’s not necessarily genes or environment,” he adds. “It’s likely to be both.” Alysson Muotri at the University of California San Diego Department of Pediatrics is using teeth analysis to identify gene abnormalities in children with autism, even in cases with no previous known genetic cause. Parents of an 8-year-old autistic boy mailed Muotri’s team one of the boy’s baby teeth, and the researchers were able to detect a mutation in a gene known as TRPC6. The researchers treated the autistic boy with hyperforin, the active ingredient in St. John’s Wort. Dental analysis could potentially lead to personalized treatment for autism, whether the cause be identified as genetic, environmental or both.

Dawn Marie Klingner, District Secretary 01-14-16 agreement that seeks to unite the economic interests of 12 countries that border the Pacific Ocean by lowering trade tariffs and establishing an international trade court to settle disputes. TPP emerged as a West Coast equivalent to the proposed Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, designed to ease trade restrictions between the U.S. and Europe. But TPP has progressed much faster thanks to the willingness of Pacific nations to “play ball.” International negotiators released a draft of the TPP agreement in October 2015 and are awaiting approvals from participating governments. However, despite the theoretical advantages of more fluid international trade, the current draft has several complications that could lead to a variety of problems for participating nations and others, meaning its implementation is far from a sure thing at this point. Green leaders criticize the Obama administration and negotiators from other countries for keeping early talks on the formation of the TPP closed to observers and media. Many individuals and public interest groups requested access to the discussions, fearing that the agreement would unfairly favor large corporations. However, those appeals were ignored and the drafted document revealed what many feel was a prioritization of corporate interests over health and environmental concerns. Without any enforceable guarantees for environmental protection, the TPP could actually significantly contribute to global warming through increased exportation of U.S. fossil fuel supplies. Additionally, differences in national policies regulating chemical use, artificial fertilizers and seeds from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have yielded an agreement that encourages minimal protection. PHOTO BY KRIS KRÜG FOR POPTECH (FLICKRCC) Alysson Muotri, of the University of California San Diego Department of Pediatrics, is using teeth analysis to identify gene abnormalities in children with autism, even in cases with no previous known genetic cause. The nonprofit Public Citizen points out that existing U.S. regulation of pesticide and GMO labeling on packaging could be challenged in the international court as “trade barriers.” Another point of contention is the distinct advantage given to foreign corporations under the current TPP model. Overseas firms would be able to sue the U.S. government over new policies that disrupt the company’s “expectations.” Perhaps more troubling is what’s not included in the document, which fails to mention how it will protect from over-harvesting of limited natural resources. Green groups point out that, while the TPP accounts for nearly a third of global fish harvest, there are no provisions to protect against overfishing. The draft also barely mentions enforceable safeguards of endangered species products, such as elephant ivory. Yet another issue critics say is woefully ignored is social justice. With free-trade opening up, even more American jobs would be sent overseas to reduce costs. Economists estimate that 5 million U.S. jobs could shift oversees under the TPP, resulting in serious pay cuts for American workers. Meanwhile, the richest 10 percent would profit at even higher rates, adding to an already drastic U.S. wealth inequality. Clearly, the current draft of the TPP agreement needs a lot of work before Congress should even consider it. Those opposed to the current version of the TPP can voice their dissatisfaction by signing onto the Stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership petition on MoveOn.org, or by urging your representatives in Congress to vote against it altogether.

One of the frequent challenges Heady-Amara faces is lack of public transportation. Another is that many women need to update their skills as they haven’t worked outside of the home for a while. Other women may be looking to change their careers. These challenges apply to men, as well. Federally- and state-funded Dutchess One Stop has its main office in Poughkeepsie, yet counselors often venture out into the surrounding community to reach clients. Computer training is a part of the program. Skills as simple as attaching a resume to an e-mail are taught. Many times people just need to identify their existing skills and figure out where such skills are needed, said Heady-Amara. There is also financial assistance available for those seeking ongoing adult education. Such training covers a wide array of professional skills, including learning Microsoft Word.

[email protected] FLAG Continued from Page A1 Inn (located near Bash Bish Falls). When the Inn burned down to the ground on Sept. 18, 1918, Jean Pierre August Dalmas — headwaiter of the Inn at the time — worked his courage and climbed onto the roof to save the flag. After the fire, Dalmas relocated with his family, and the flag, to Valdese, N.C., where every Fourth of July he proudly displayed his flag. The flag remained with the Dalmas family ever since. Last December, Dalmas’s grandson, Pierre, reached out to Blue for more information on the fire that devastated the Bash Bish Inn. This is when Blue learned of the existence of the flag, and over some conversations Pierre agreed that the flag should return to its hometown. The flag was mailed this spring, and is currently in the possession of Blue. A historian’s love Historian by profession, Howard Blue authors the Copake History Facebook page. He has lived in Copake about a dozen years, he said. His attachment to the town and the importance of history led him to start the Facebook page to share stories of Copake’s past. He found that Copake holds a fascinating history, he said. “We don’t protect our history and historical artifacts sufficiently,” he said. Efforts to conserve historical landmarks and period pieces in this quaint town are not common, said Blue. Most recently, in October, there was an old inn building demolished, which he said was sad for him to watch. With the demolition of that inn, Blue said he worries that Copake’s Railroad Depot may have a similar fate. “There is no effort to save it. It could be turned into a tourist center or a museum,” he said. But with the restoration and conservation of a clock tower that stands in the center of town there is hope for future projects to save historical landmarks. That project, he said, proved the community’s commitment to preserve its most prized artifacts. “I love seeing what the community does to protect history,” Blue said. He also said that the flag is a symbol that represents the town’s tourism industry, and that its display would also represent the pride the town has in its history. Future plans for a historic flag Blue has already contacted a textile expert who suggested the flag be conserved to maintain its authentic look. “The flag would not be able to be flown again,” he said. The cost to do so is estimated to be around $11,000. Notable town figures also involved in this project are Jeanne Mettler and Russ Davis — who were involved with the fundraising for the clock tower revival project. Where the flag is to be displayed is yet to be decided by the project’s committee, but some ideas have already been tossed around: historical societies in the proximity of Copake; the Roeliff Jansen Community Library; a recreation building in Copake; and in nearby towns or villages such as Millerton. The idea would be to display the flag periodically in different places for an allotted amount of time, and for its grand “welcome home” to display it near its original site. Blue said he hopes the Dalmas family will be able to make it to the flag’s 21st century debut. To learn more about the project contact Howard Blue at

The Inn at Pine Plains opened its doors on Route 199 on Oct. Birds in 2015: Curiouser and curiouser By FRED BAUMGARTEN Special to The Millerton News The year just ended may go down in (natural) history as the Year of the Rare Bird. And I’m not talking about the undercooked turkey you had for Christmas. During the month of December alone, a western tanager was hanging out in New Haven, American white pelicans were aswimming in Old Saybrook and an ash-throated flycatcher was catching flies in Montauk, N.Y. These birds are many, many miles from where they naturally occur at this time of year — or any time of year, for that matter. As its name implies, the western tanager’s home range does not cross east of the Mississippi. Same for the ash-throated flycatcher, a bird of the arid Southwest. And while the flycatcher is a fairly drab species, the tanager male (including the New Haven bird) is a sunny yellow with a red-orange head. White pelicans, among the largest North American birds, come a little closer to us, to the Midwest and South. I had the chance to chase two of these rarities last month —a behavior the English call “twitching.” On Christmas Day I visited the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge in Walkill, N.Y., following reports of a gyrfalcon that had returned to the area for the second time in the year. This location, I should add, is little more than an hour from the Northwest Corner. The “gyr” is the largest and most powerful falcon in the world. Its natural habitat is the Arctic tundra. Some have a white plumage, others gray. Thanks to email, a birder’s best friend, I was able to locate the bird among a gaggle of gazers a short distance from the refuge, perched on a tree overlooking a farm field. “Life bird” for me — the first I have ever seen. Only two weekends earlier, I had made a similar trip to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to see what may be the ultimate celebrity bird: a male painted bunting that has leisurely lingered in the park since the beginning of December. Talk about a stunner! This is a rainbow bird, with plumage of lime green, yellow, purple and red. This wanderer from the Deep South feeds obligingly in full view of gawking multitudes, astride one of the park’s many footpaths. The inevitable questions that occur are: How did these birds get here? What will happen to them? Unfortunately, it’s hard to know for sure, but it’s difficult to rule out climate change — or at least the incredibly un-winter we have had so far. Birds do get lost or carried off by weather systems far more than most people realize; the search for rarities (also known as “accidentals” or “vagrants”) keeps a lot of birders on their toes. The warmer temperatures may make it far easier for these birds to wander farther north and east, and stay longer, than would otherwise be possible. As to what will happen, the possibilities include birds staying long-term, as long as food is plentiful; birds finding their way back to their normal home ranges; and birds perishing, if the weather turns harsh, or at the hands (claws) of predators. What will 2016 bring? Stay tuned! 15. The inn is located in the former Paige’s Place day care, which closed earlier in the year. Kent, Conn., resident Randy Miles was convicted of the hit-and-run that left Copake resident Concetta Eastman dead. The accident occurred on Bog Hollow Road in Wassaic. November The Millbrook community voted in favor of the library’s 414 public referendum vote, which increased its public funding from $100,000 to $184,000.

The town of North East renewed its $180,000 contract for ambulance coverage with Northern Dutchess Paramedics, for the same terms as the original contract. The Sunday in the Country Food Drive struggled for donations for its Thanksgiving dinner baskets, which provide meals to hundreds of families in need during the holidays.

The restaurant is located on Church Street in the village. The Millbrook Blazers varsity volleyball team was crowned as Class C champions. The team beat Pawling for the finals at a match held in East Fishkill. Counterfeit $100 bills were passed throughout Millerton, as well in other communities in the Hudson Valley.

Alison Meyer, who had owned the store with her husband Scott, sold it to Kira Wizner. The Millbrook Blazers girls varsity volleyball team lost its bid for the state title, falling to Eden in the championship game. December Millerton News reporter Ga- briel Napoleon announced that he would be leaving the paper for a marketing job.

Millbrook also held its first, First Saturday; the event was sponsored by the business association as a way to promote holiday shopping and activities. The Pine Plains Free Library building sale was completed. The $1 million purchase took more than three years to finalize. The village of Millerton held a holiday celebration, with a free showing of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” horse-drawn carriage rides and an appearance by Santa. Amenia celebrated Holiday of Lights, with activities including a tree lighting, parade, caroling, pictures with Santa and a dance performance.

He gives traveling salesmen a bad name, one of that tribe aboard a train rattling through the state of Iowa complains. Hill comes to a town, creates a boys’ band, sells instruments and uniforms and skips before anyone discovers he knows nothing about music. And so Meredith Willson’s 1957 Tony Award-winning musical (beating out the ground-breaking and powerful “West Side Story” for heaven’s sake) about midwestern, small-town life opens with the memorable talk-song, “Rock Island,” and a coach-full of salesmen bouncing across the landscape, wondering where their next dollar is coming from. Professor Hill knows, of course. He’s heading for River City, a town with lots of kids. This is terrain that director Michael Berkeley has mined many times before. A few years back, Berkeley, a founder of TriArts and its onetime artistic and music director, was asked at an audition how many children he planned to cast. “As many as we can fit on the stage,” he said. And once again, Berkeley, along with fellow director and choreographer Lori J. Belter, founder of the Housatonic Musical Theatre Society, has done a great job casting a lot of very well-rehearsed and tremendously engaged young people (and concomitantly filling the theater with lots of parents and friends) for this spirited and sometimes touching production. True to form, the professor, played, alas, by a rather listless and disheveled Christopher Gilbert, hits town, gets word of the new billiard parlor and arouses anxieties about wayward boys shooting pool, and taking to using words like “swell” and phrases like “so’s your old man.” Stirred by Hill’s promise of “shimmering trumpets,” various other instruments such as euphoniums and bassoons, as well as braided uniforms and well-mannered youth, the parents of River City buy in. But oh, if only life were that simple. The town’s librarian and piano teacher Marian Paroo, a spinster, is suspicious. She is also beautiful. And Amy LeBlanc performs Willson’s gorgeous, sometimes wistful, songs like an angel. So Harold Hill is in trouble. He may not know a thing about music, but he is a master manipulator of human beings. He knows he can divert trouble by turning school board members into a barbershop quartet. One note on the pitch pipe and they are off and singing, wonderfully in this case. But Marian is another matter. She has no time for this fellow, and so the professor must settle, in song at least, for “the sadder but wiser girl,” a Hester seeking “to win just one more A.” This is the thing about “The Music Man.” It is wonderful in every way. Willson wrote a witty, touching, funny, clever musical (with, incidentally, the most unusual rhyme around: Marian and carrion), and the Centerstage production at Rhinebeck’s Center for Performing Arts has done it right. The musical direction by Paul and Joanne Schubert is spot on. The sets are simple and charming, the costumes, lovely, the dancing, good; and the performances are wry when they’re supposed to be and open-hearted when it matters. Jamison Fountain is fine as 8-year-old Winthrop, the boy mourning the loss of his dad; and Cindy Kubik as Mrs. Paroo, his mother, is spirited and touching. Most everyone has done right by this lovely show about human nature and miracles and, of course, romance. “The Music Man,” based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey, with book, music and lyrics by Willson, runs at The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck through Jan. 31.

ART SCENE: MARSDEN EPWORTH A Varied and Entertaining Show I t’s called a Winter Warmer, The White Gallery’s annual exhibit of varied —very varied — pieces by 17 artists. It opened this week with works by photographers and painters. It’s an unusual show. “Every two weeks it’s recurated, gallery owner Tino Galluzzo says. “I add new pieces and move them around to change it up. And in a show like this without a point of view, you can mix abstract and traditional work.” And mix he does. Most prominent on entering the gallery is Avery Danziger’s very large and starlit photograph of Jockey’s Ridge in North Carolina in the middle of the night. The star streaks and the glowing horizon speak of a lengthy and expert exposure. It’s a beautiful scene.

SULLIVAN ‘Concussion’ A Serious Matter Needing Better Treatment J ust in time for the pro football playoffs comes Peter Landesman’s “Concussion,” starring Will Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu, a pathologist who identified what is now known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy in National Football League players. Omalu, a Nigerian, has an uphill battle with his coworkers and colleagues, with the immensely powerful NFL and with resentful fans. The film starts promisingly enough, with David Morse playing the increasingly disturbed Mike Webster, center for the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers teams of the 1970s. Webster is living in his pickup truck, and is so out of it he is yanking his own teeth and glueing them back in his mouth. He dies, officially, of a heart attack. But Omalu orders a full autopsy and eventually concludes that years of collisions incurred playing football had damaged Webster’s brain. He finds other players with similar conditions, publishes a paper and that’s when the trouble starts. Along the way he meets a young woman from Kenya, falls in love, gets married and starts to build a house. And the NFL pushes back. Omalu’s boss is indicted on federal charges for misusing his office. His wife is stalked and loses their first child. Omalu loses his faith in the American Dream, and eventually takes a job in California. Only when another ex-player, Dave Duerson, kills himself and leaves a note asking that his brain be examined for CTE, does the dam break to some extent, and Omalu is somewhat vindicated. This is all good material, and should make for a compelling film. But “Concussion” is lifeless. Loose ends abound. Is Prema OMalu (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) really being stalked by a mysterious car, or is she being paranoid? And is that really enough to cause problems with her pregnancy? Are the Feds acting as proxies for the NFL? Are the nasty phone calls Omalu receives the work of conspirators or of individual nut cases? We don’t know — and if the film moved faster it wouldn’t matter. But if a film has a slow, deliberate pace, it better explain everything — because the audience has the leisure time to wonder. The net effect is, ultimately, a dull and somewhat preachy film. The issue of concussions is a serious one. It deserves a more forceful treatment than this. “Concussion” is rated PG-13 for thematic material including some disturbing images, and language.

Every time the credits rolled on an episode of the 10part documentary series, I watched the next one. By the time it was over, I was overwhelmed by anger, frustration, sadness and the desire to share this series with others. The documentary follows Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who spent 18 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. DNA evidence led to his exoneration in 2003, when he became a free man. In 2005, while filing a $36 million lawsuit against Manitowoc County for wrongful imprisonment, he was charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach, a photographer who visited the Avery family’s salvage yard to photograph a minivan for Auto Trader magazine. Avery’s 16-year-old nephew, Brendan Dassey, was also charged with participating in the murder. “Making a Murderer,” which was filmed over a period of 10 years, is filled with courtroom footage, recorded phone calls from prison and intimate interviews with the Avery family. Filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos read about Avery’s case in The New York Times in November 2005 and headed out to Wisconsin to attend his preliminary hearing. They ultimately moved there to follow every development as it occurred in real time. They followed the trials of Avery and Dassey, as well as the aftermath of the verdicts. Even though the verdicts are a decade old, I will avoid stating them here. For those of you who don’t know how the story unfolds, hearing the juries reach their decisions is incredibly powerful. If there wasn’t undeniable proof that these trials occurred, I would swear that “Making a Murderer” was a scripted, serialized courtroom drama. There are shocking and heartbreaking “Our question going in was never about guilt or innocence or about trying to solve this crime.” twists and turns throughout every hour-long episode that will leave viewers asking countless questions: Why did the Manitowoc County sheriff ’s department participate in the murder investigation, despite the clear conflict of interest? Did the police plant evidence to frame Avery? Was Dassey’s confession coerced? “Our question going in was never about guilt or innocence or about trying to solve this crime. It was really an exploration into the system,” Demos told CBS News. This is an important distinction to make. As you watch “Making a Murderer,” you’ll likely find yourself attempting to assign guilt or innocence to Avery and Dassey. Perhaps you’ll question whether the series is biased toward Avery, since it focuses so much on his family. Former Wisconsin state prosecutor Ken Kratz told People magazine that the series left out key pieces of evidence; in response, Ricciardi made a statement to The Wrap, a website, that “we stand by the project we did. It is thorough. It is accurate. It is fair. That is why it took us 10 years to produce it.” In any case, “Making a Murderer” shows a flawed legal system. Dean Strang, a sensible defense lawyer for Avery, says it best: “Most of what ails our criminal justice system lies in unwarranted certitude on the part of police officers and prosecutors and defense lawyers and judges and jurors that they’re getting it right. That they are simply right. Just a tragic lack of humility of everyone who participates in our criminal justice system.” … Winter Warmer Continued from previous page Photographer Tom Zetterstrom is a newcomer to the gallery and his trees in black and white are very fine. Nearby hangs a lovely painted abstract by Sarah Martinez: patches of lime and purple and pink on a white back. And further, “Mount Pleasant,” a traditional red barn in the snow painted by Janet Iffland. “We like her barns and landscapes,” Galluzzo said, referring to himself and his wife Susan, co-owner of the gallery. For simplicity and serenity, Francis Ashforth’s “Tidal Inlet 5” in sand and pale blue is arresting. And Deborah Losada’s “Provisional Visibility,” a sleakly defined red bar dissolving into smoke always impresses viewers, Galluzzo said. One year, shortly after opening the gallery, Galluzzo said, he closed it for the winter. “It bothered me,” he said. “Never again. This is a community gallery. People come in to get warm. They give me feedback. It’s good.” The White Gallery, located in Lakeville opposite the Post Office on Main Street, is open weekends from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information, call 860-435-1029.
