Local libraries receive funding for adult programs
Family: Wife, Anne, and five children. 1. Why are you running for this position?
I have been in law enforcement for 35 years. I believe I can be fair and honest when dealing with people, and I feel that the law enforcement part of my background helps me understand how the court system works. I want to continue in the way the Town of Ellenburg courts have been run in the past, with the same kind of professionalism that has come before me. I was stationed in Ellenburg as a trooper in the early 70s and have worked and lived here all my life and know the area.
ROUSES POINT — As part of Creative Aging in New York State Libraries, a National Leadership project funded by the US Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), three ClintonEssex-Franklin (CEF) libraries will receive a total of $6,500 to support free arts learning programs for older adults. The libraries include: Rouses Point Dodge Memorial Library, Schroon Lake Public Library, and Wells Memorial Library in Upper Jay will all begin implementing art programs this Fall. Classes at the Rouses Point Dodge Memorial Library, 144 Lake Street, will be held on Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 20 through Oct. 25. Evening classes will be held Oct. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. This two-year initiative is a partnership project of Lifetime Arts, Inc., the Westchester Library System and the America Library Association (ALA). It builds on Lifetime Arts’ work with major public library systems over the last four years and demonstrates a new and robust model for public libraries to deliver and sustain meaningful instructional arts programs for an aging population. The field of creative aging, which focuses on the beneficial and powerful role of the arts in enhancing the quality of life for older adults, is in-
creasingly recognized as an important contributor to positive aging efforts. Creative Aging programs are conducted by professional teaching artists and promote mastery and encourage social engagement– two keys to successful aging. Jane Bouchard, Director of the Schroon Lake Public Library stated in the application, “In the rural setting, the library is seen not just as a library, but as a community center, a meeting place, a place that is open and free to anyone that wishes to walk through its doors. If our library is chosen to be funded, we will have the ability to offer quality arts programming to our elderly population and my hopes are that the program is so successful that we then continue to explore and expand into other types of arts programming for our community." Creative Aging in NY State Libraries will serve up to 1,000 older adults, through instructional arts programs in up to 60 libraries in four demographically and geographically diverse public library systems: Westchester Library System, New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, and Clinton. Space is limited and registration is filling up quickly, call the library for more information. Call the Dodge Memorial Library at 297-6242 or e-mail rpdml1907@gmail.com.
