WELCOME TO THE COUNTRY A LETTER FROM OUR EDITOR, Catherine Scott
A
s much as things change here in Western Sullivan County, they also seem to remain the same. Wait… didn’t I say that last year? I sure did. Not only is it still true, but it also helps me make a point about reusing, recycling, and renewal. Sometimes something is still good and we’re inspired to find a new use or spot for it a second or third or even fourth time around. That’s what country does. It makes sure you’ve gotten everything you can out of it before it finds its way to the junk pile. Increasingly we find ourselves in a disposable world where everything is designed to be used once before it takes up permanent residency in a landfill, or worse, a garbage swirl in the ocean. That’s when we find
ourselves looking back and falling upon our traditions. Traditions that teach us how to create items of value that last a lifetime. Traditions that teach us how to reuse or repurpose items to give them new life. Traditions that are steeped in renewal and rebirth. Traditions that they themselves were once shelved or tossed aside for newer, shinier ways of living. Traditions that bring meaning and significance to each generation that welcome them into their lives. As we celebrate our traditions, we also welcome new traditions and people in which to share them. What’s a celebration if it isn’t shared? So we welcome YOU to come to these Western Sullivan Catskills and discover what tradition speaks to you.

Reflecting Back to Peace, Love & Woodstock
Article by Autumn Schanil
Fifty years ago on August 15 of
1969, nearly half a million people
had gathered and were waiting on
a quiet dairy farm nestled in the
Catskill Mountains for a three-
day music festival dubbed “An
Aquarian Experience: 3 Days of
Peace and Music,” to begin.
Just months before the festival was to take place upstate in the town of Wallkill, the Wallkill town officials backed out, nervous about the huge crowd the festival was meant to attract. The four partners organizing the festival weren’t sure where to turn until then 49-year old Max Yasgur humbly offered to rent part of his farm in the town of Bethel for the concert. With the event only a month away, the four jumped on his offer. Only 50,000 people were originally expected to attend, but just two days before its opening more than 100,000 tickets had been pre-sold. And the day before the festival, which would later become known simply as Woodstock, festival-goers continued to arrive until about half a million people as diverse as the changing times were

camping and crashing through the gates. When there was no more room for parking, people abandoned their cars on the roadsides and walked the remaining miles to the farm or hitchhiked with whomever would pick them up. “Clients coming into my husband’s animal hospital reported seeing unusual venues of transportation. Though never confirmed, one client told of passing a team of oxen pulling a C o n e s t o g a - s t y l e wagon on Route 17B,” Jeffersonville local Barbara Hahn remembered. Security was limited and with so many people coming whenever and however while gates, fences and ticket booths were still being set up, it was almost impossible to charge people entering, and so Woodstock became a free music festival. “On Friday afternoon, I drove my car to the festival site to be where the action was, and parked on a hill behind the concession stands. That was the last time I could move my car until Monday afternoon,” recalled Sam Matson, a retired Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who was living in Youngsville at that time. “Over the last thirty years I have talked with people all over the country, that I met by chance, who had been at Woodstock. I have never ceased to be amazed by how far some people traveled to attend.” And then it started raining ... leaving the fields muddy and slick. With so many people, there was clearly a lack of food, water, and sufficient sanitation, but that didn’t deter them from staying. The concert went on with the likes of Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Canned Heat, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and many more on the big stage. “In spite of the inclement weather, most of those kids
stuck out their three-day festival of love and peace,” said Anne R. Mages who was at the time of the festival working in the office at Yasgur Farms as secretary. “Many found their way to Jeffersonville to the car wash to rid their bodies of the mud and slime. A lot of them left notes tacked to trees and utility poles along the way, expressing their thanks and

gratitude for the free food and water given to them by local residents and businesses. For weeks after the festival,” she continued, “letters were delivered thanking local people for the many kindnesses given to strangers attending the

concert. Max Yasgur himself received nearly a thousand notes.” Little did anyone know at the time what a historical icon Woodstock would become in pop culture history, synonymous with the counterculture movement of the 60s, as it took place at a controversial time in our history. Young people were in fierce opposition of the Vietnam War as well as in the era of the civil rights movement. Woodstock was impactful in that it gave people an opportunity to escape from the happenings of the world into a land of music – spreading peace, love, and unity. “I originally entered into this as a business contract,” Max Yasgur was recalled saying by Anne after the three days, “but these kids changed my mind. My neighbors and I are the Establishment, but we were treated more decently, more politely by these young people than by any other group we have encountered.”
Wooddell, “there were helicopters all the time. There were constantly Medivacs in and out. People yelling from the stage, ‘Watch the blue stuff! It’s got too much this or that!’ I was right there at the edge in the back. I could see them yelling for medics, and I think there were 11 or 12 births at the festival!” But nevertheless, local communities rallied together to do what they could for festival-goers. Donating blankets, making meals for people who were wandering around who hadn’t eaten in a day or two, the Hog Farmers building structures in the woods where people could rest and sleep. The festival was one of a kind, it was epic, and it was and still is one of the most memorable in history. 17B was just recently renamed Woodstock Way and the Sullivan County Visitors Association made 50 fiberglass doves available to towns and businesses to be placed around Sullivan County as a celebration of Woodstock’s history. “I was fifteen years old. My parents let me go, so I didn’t have to sneak over there. We came in through Kenoza Lake and up Perry Lane,” recalled Warren Johnson. “It was unbelievable being there. We were there for the music.”

As this year marks Woodstock’s 50th anniversary, memories and feelings of that time have come flooding back for many people. Festival-goers as well as locals that witnessed a lot of the chaos. “It wasn’t frightening seeing all the people there, but what was frightening was seeing it disintegrate,” said local Glenn

The Art of Upcycle
Article & Photos by Brock Lady
The term "Upcycle" is a fairly recent invention, being popularly coined in the mid-nineties, but its practical applications are much, much older. The longwinded official definition of upcycle is, "the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value." That's a mouthful. Simply put, it's taking old, broken garbage and turning it into something useful or even, creatively, art. I'm sure you've seen it a hundred times without even thinking twice; globes turned into lamps, old tires turned into flower beds (I've even seen toilets and washing machines used in the same manner), window and door screens used as earring displays, hubcaps on stakes painted to be flowers, and so forth. It's everywhere. Upcycling differs greatly from what is standardly known as recycling. With recycling, the object (usually glass, paper, plastic, metals, etc...) is broken down to its base material and remanufactured into a new commercial product. Not as frequently as our society should be doing, but I digress. When you upcycle, you take on the mindset of "this might be broken, but I can still use it for something!” Having grown up on a farm and now living in Sullivan County, it's kind of old hat for me. My grandfather, and others from that generation who were somehow impacted by the depression era, tended to reuse almost everything. Think back to your grandfather's or even your
father's garage and the endless glass jars jam packed with odd ball nuts and bolts and little metal widgets that would surely be useful for SOMETHING at SOMETIME. My grandfather was a self-taught welder who never saw a chunk of metal he couldn’t fashion into something useful. I even saw him take a busted rake head and a long beyond useful sledge hammer head, rounded by decades of honorable duty, and weld them together to become an anchor for one of our little fishing boats. Worked like a charm. Sullivan County is no stranger to this concept. Look in any direction and you’ll surely see a farm that has been handed down from generation to generation and struggled through the ups and downs of upstate, rural life. Replacing broken or damaged items as well as building or rebuilding a structure might not be within the budgetary constraints or even the time frame to venture out and purchase the new materials. Even in the age of Amazon, sometimes it’s easier and faster and to just “make it work”. I recently visited Channery Hill Farm in Callicoon Center, NY; a “small, sustainable, chemical-free, animal-friendly farm” run by Jen McGlashan since 2010. Not only do they produce fresh vegetables, garlic powder, salad dressings, mustards, salsa, ketchups, kale chips and horseradish (all sold on site and at local farmer’s markets by the way), but they also create birdhouses and bowls made from their own gourds as well as jewelry and housewares created from all sorts of reusable materials. Touring Channery Hill Farms is a master’s class in the spirit of upcycling when it comes to farm life. They are rebuilding structures from onsite timber as well as reusing long
Jeffersonville Journal – 10
discarded materials in more ways than I have time to mention here! Jen is also building a welding studio in the main barn where she will be teaching the fundamentals of welding not only for practical use, but also for the creation of art. So, if by the end of this article you feel the itch to see upcycling in action at its finest, do yourself a favor and look up Channery Hill Farm on Facebook and contact them for their next farmer’s market location. Beyond the practical application of repurposing the no longer purposeful, what about fashioning something busted into something beautiful? This concept has been around a lot longer than you may think. Setting aside the still popular Amish Quilt, you know you have one somewhere, where old swatches of fabric are stitched together to make a brand-new bed spread or sometimes simply displayed on a wall, upcycling as an art form has been popularized for over a hundred years. Dadaists such as Marcel Duchamp with his "Bicycle Wheel" (1913) and “fountain" (1917) and even Pablo Picasso's "Bull head" (1942) which was a pair of handlebars and a bicycle seat, his own personal nod to the Dadaists, have been unanimously considered masterpieces within their respected genres. Even something as simple as gluing sea shells and star fish on an old bit of driftwood is technically upcycling as art. Mosaics made of bits of glass or broken pottery work as well. The “upcycling as art” boom is obvious if you venture into any craft fair or consignment shop. The sheer number of items and insanely creative ideas is mind-boggling! Behind every upcycled product stands a craftsman who is fiercely battling the flood of mass produced, production line trinkets endlessly marching down a conveyor belt straight onto the shelves of some name brand, big market store. Luckily, traditional craft and family entrepreneurship has been making a come back over the last several years. More proof in the power of upcycled art can be found by checking out websites such as Etsy.com and Pinterest. Considering that diyvinci.com reported way back in 2011 that the "upcycle" tag on sites such as Etsy.com jumped over 275% in just one year and a search I did just a minute ago on the same site resulted in 293,483 listed items, it would be irresponsible not to! So, whether you go upcycle art shopping online or on foot, you’ll soon discover that every item is one of a kind and holds a beautiful history behind it – which makes for a fantastic gift! Speaking of art forms, music has also been impacted by the idea of upcycling. Legendary blues guitarist Buddy Guy (as well as countless others) considered their first guitar to be a length of old wire strung up between two nails on a porch post or the side of a barn. A broken bottle neck or smooth bit of metal and presto, a slide guitar. The early blues world and mountaintop bluegrass artists also introduced the world to
cigar box guitars. Again, a box, a plank, some wire, and something to slide along the strings and you're on your way. Of course, mankind has been doing this for eons with animal horns and sea shells, skins stretched over something to make a drum, gourdes as rattles, and on and on and on. They were upcycle revolutionaries and didn’t even know it!
On an environmental note, upcycling has a monumental impact on our atmosphere. As an example, according to Worn Again Technologies, "for every ton of discarded textiles used again, 20 tons of CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere". That...is a lot. Clearly the environmental benefits of upcycling are tremendous. Besides minimizing the ridiculous amount of “stuff” that we poor into our landfills each year, upcycling also helps reduces the need for more mass production. Less industrial production means using less raw materials and of course that translates into less water pollution, less air pollution and a general softening of the endless strain on our global resources. For instance, did you know it takes roughly 713 gallons of water to produce the cotton to make ONE t-shirt? Again, that….is a lot! So, for future reference, turn that old t-shirt into a dish rag, dusting cloth or even maybe a bandana for your dog. Your grandkids might appreciate it. This world we live in has its limits and the resources around us are getting more and more limited by the day. Whether you’re trying to save the world, one broken bit at a time, or just looking to find a way to occupy your kid this summer break, dig around in your garage or attic, back in that corner of discarded “stuff”, and let your imagination fly! You might not save the planet, but you just might create something useful that brightens your day and doesn’t cost you a penny!

THE FARMHOUSE PROJECT
Photography by Juan Ogando
MAKERS MARKET
If you live in the Sullivan County region, we bet you’ve heard of the gentlemen behind The Farmhouse Project, a sustainable lifestyle brand including a locally made home goods collection and global social media presence, sharing tips on renovating their historic farmhouse, decorating and entertaining. Kris and Shawn also host several events throughout the year to bring the community together and celebrate the beautiful Sullivan Catskills.
Last year they hosted their first Makers Market, a modern interpretation of the traditional craft fair at the Barn on Hubbard in Callicoon, New York. The market featured 35 artisans, farm-totable food and live music attracting over 5,000 visitors throughout the weekend. “If you look at other areas in New York state, you’ll find some pretty amazing markets to shop locally throughout the season. We wanted to create a similar
vibe in Sullivan County and we certainly have many talented makers and artisans to showcase and sell their goods. We were expecting a few hundred, but we got a few thousand visitors, we ran out of parking, food and beer in the first few hours of the event, but our amazing team pulled it together and everyone had a blast!” Shawn states.
Plans have been well underway since January for this year’s Makers Market set for Labor Day weekend, Saturday August 31st & Sunday September 1st from 11-6pm, RAIN OR SHINE.
Along with a new assortment of makers, Shawn and Kris are adding space outside to host even more artisans this year. They’re teaming up with Sims and Kirsten Foster, of Foster Supply for a simple farmfresh BBQ menu. Benji & Jakes are also on the food lineup this year with their portable brick oven, serving up a delicious assortment of
Jeffersonville Journal – 14
homemade pizzas. You’ll also see the same vintage trailer from last year with wine, beer and cider along with a new cocktail lounge hosted by their friends Josiah and Ezekiel from the Cochecton Fire Station. Live music will accompany the event with more bands playing throughout each day.
As the market closes Saturday evening, Shawn & Kris are hosting a communal dinner at the barn from their latest project Terrain & Table, a monthly dinner series celebrating land, food, community and the Catskills.
We’ll gather around the communal dinner table within a secret corn field on the property of Barn on Hubbard. You’ll be immersed into a culinary familystyle feast of farm-fresh local ingredients for a unique source-to-supper experience you’ll never forget. They’re thrilled to team up Erik and Megan of Have Knife Will Travel for this nourishing and comforting food experience. For more information on dinner, please visit: www.terrainandtable.com
Shawn & Kris are excited to see everyone at this year’s Makers Market and would like to thank everyone who made last year’s event such a success, including their friend and event manager, Katie Welsh of The Family Tie Project and their wonderful and supportive community.

Dash salt & pepper Drizzle Olive Oil Drizzle Local Honey Fresh Thyme
Blueberry Sour Mash
Directions: Toss all ingredients together and serve chilled. Roasted Beets Recipe: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash Beets well do not peel or pull off the roots. Roast the beets by totally rubbing a coating of oil on them, generous amount of salt and pepper. Use Orange size beets, they should take about 45 minutes to 1 hour to roast in the oven. Check at 40 minutes, when they are forktender they are done. Set them aside to cool. As soon as they’re cool enough to touch, peel. After they are cooled completely, chop into desired size. (To save time, I suggest doing this up to one day ahead of time and popping them in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the salad). Should you choose yellow beets they only take 30 to 45 minutes in the oven. We use a mix of yellow golden beets and red beets here at the restaurant. Find recipes for the Blueberry Sour Mash, Chicken Corn Chowder and Veal Loin from the Tavern on Main online at www.jeffersonvilleny.com/sips

WEEKEND OF CHAMBER MUSIC’S SUMMER FESTIVAL
JULY 13-28 Sommerwind
T
his year’s festival from Weekend of Chamber Music, Sommerwind, takes its name both from a seminal work by Anton Webern and (in English) an indispensable recording of Frank Sinatra. Either way it speaks to a breeze’s warm caress, to memory, nostalgia, and the bittersweet passing of time. For WCM it also conjures summer in the Catskills, the uncanny beauty of the light, the water, the green sloping of the mountains, the old friends we cherish and the new ones we make every summer. Singing of all that and more is music from the cusp between the old world and the new with works from Brahms, Debussy, Webern, and Alexander von Zemlinsky; one of the most brilliant and sensual voices from turn of the century Vienna. Add to the mix the playful, crystalline music of composer in residence Harold Meltzer, including the premiere of a work written just for WCM, the unbounded creativity of our chamber music immersion fellows, and music for the fiery Sunrise of filmmaker F.W. Murnau, and this summer
positively shimmers.
The season will bring together old friends and new with violinists Nurit Pacht, Mari Sato and Sunghae Anna Lim; violist Kathryn Lockwood; pianist Sarah Ho; and clarinetist Christopher Grymes, artistic director of National Sawdust in Brooklyn.
As always, WCM heightens the chamber music experience through pre-concert talks, open workshops, and discussions with the guest composer during which audience members can both observe festival artists at work and ask questions in real-time. And the two Friday night events give audiences a chance to hear new music composed and performed by the festival's Chamber Music Immersion Fellows, pre-professional composers and performers in residence working closely with festival artists; the Fellows' performances have been an audience favorite for the last four seasons. For more info on the artists, the music, tickets, and the festival itself, visit the WCM website at wcmconcerts.org.

Sullivan County residents donated over 10,000 sandwiches, water, fruit and canned goods when they heard there was a shortage of food at Woodstock.
Cochecton Fire Station
Around this same time last year, childhood friends Josiah Early and Ezekiel ‘Zeke’ Miller were busy finishing up the construction and finer details of their first collaborative restaurant together, the Cochecton Fire Station. Their minds were buzzing with ideas, from giving back to the community and sourcing local, to a tasteful menu with crafty, unique cocktails–something they’ve been familiar with for years. Working in a host of New York City bars and restaurants, they know the industry well, so when they decided to move upstate they formed The Horses Mouth, an event and consulting company that specializes in craft cocktails. And when Henning’s Local in Cochecton Center opened seven years ago, they designed the drink menu. But, they talked for years about opening something of their own, so when the old fire station in Cochecton went up for sale, they didn’t hesitate to jump in. They wanted to bring back the community space that so many people in the area knew and loved. So how are they doing now? Well this year in August they’ll be celebrating the one year anniversary of their opening, and the reviews of their service, food, and drink don’t lie. Five stars all the way with comments like “Great food. Great staff. Great drinks” and “This is not just the best restaurant in the area, this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, period.” Over the summer months before they opened, Henning Nordanger of Henning’s Local worked with Early and Miller to design a menu for the Cochecton Fire Station that is both simple and classy, ideal for sharing, and the best part ... every-
CLASSY COMFORT
thing is fire roasted in their wood-burning oven. With comfort-style items on the ‘$5’ menu like mac and cheese, Cuban corn, crispy rice and beans and a hasselback potato, you can’t really go wrong. Each dish is packed with flavor that lingers even after it’s finished. And if you’re feeling a bit classier, try the Trout fired on a cedar plank with a sprig of thyme from local, family-run Beaverkill Trout Hatchery in Livingston Manor, or the luxurious cheese board from Tonjes Farm located just a hop and a skip down the road served with toasted walnuts, pecans and toasted bread from the Beach Lake Bakery just a few miles away. “We’ve had so much support from people in and around the community, and near the Fire Station itself,” said Early, “we just want to give back. We wanted this to be a place where people gather over food on the weekends, or for a cocktail or an afternoon beer during the week.” If you’re looking for an exceptional cocktail try the Hook & Ladder Punch, the Back from Manhattan, the Feed & Seed or the Barren Mary, their incredible take on the classic Bloody Mary. The Fire Station is open everyday from 12 pm to 10 pm except for Tuesdays, and whether you’re stopping in on a Monday or passing through on a Friday, most of their chairs are filled with locals and visitors alike. Their most recent addition? A fiberglass Woodstock Peace Dove just a few steps down the road provided by the Sullivan County Visitors Association (SCVA) as part of a larger dove trail in Sullivan County celebrating the Woodstock festival’s 50th anniversary. “When we found out the SCVA had the doves available, our first thought was, ‘how do we get one?’” said Miller. “This dove isn’t just for us, it’s for everyone who lives in this community. It’s a part of everyone here, just like the Fire Station. Both things are a part of the history here, and we’re just happy to get to be a part of it.” So if you’re passing through the Catskills, camping on the Delaware, or visiting family or friends, take a ride over to Cochecton and treat yourself to some Fire Station delights. To check out the menu and photos you can visit cochectonfirestation.com or their Instagram @cochectonfirestation

ANNUAL MUSIC SALE
I
jumped into my trusty Pontiac, headed towards the course, mountains of wonderfully musty and dusty LP southern end of Jeffersonville, and passed many records. The station takes donations all year long that they whitened farms along the way. Predictions of a mild sell at this event to continue their work, which according winter this year were belied in November by a foot of to their mission statement, is “to make available to its snow on the ground. I picked up my friend Dennis at his community a broad range of ideas and ideals useful to a place, along with his neighbor Charlie, and we full and enlightened life." In advance Dennis three salty record collectors enjoyed a and I discussed that we would get there few laughs as we headed over to the early; as two music industry veterans White Sulphur Springs Fire Hall for and collectors, we knew the only edge the WJFF 20th Annual Music Sale. At you have at these sort of events is being the time of this writing, the non-comthe early bird. As we licked our chops mercial WJFF is still broadcasting and rubbed our hands in anticipation, from Jeffersonville. The nation's only we arrived about an hour before doors, hydroelectric-powered radio station, only to find our plans shattered, as it’s nestled near the dam that is fed by there were already 40 rabid, primarily Lake Jefferson. Soon however, WJFF, middle-aged men standing in line, At 33 1/3 RPM speed, an NPR affiliate with fine and diverse along with more women than I usually programming, will be moving to their it allowed for see at this event. Over the past few new location down Route 52 in approximately 12 songs, years, women have refreshingly raised Liberty, where they acquired a large their profile at record shows that are no which served first property that was donated to the longer dominated solely by male colstation. Although we will miss them in Sinatra, then Elvis, then lectors. After all, women have turntathe village, their important role in our The Beatles extremely bles too! This is a great improvement community will continue from a more over the days of yore when record well. Five-plus decades shows were a bit like early Star Trek practical and larger location. I myself have been going to later, here we are conventions, lonely dude fests with WJFF's Annual Music Sale for a men who still live in their 89 year-old digging through the number of years now, where a $20 bill mother's basement in Canarsie, dressed LP bins at the can buy you 60 LP records.

Jeffersonville Journal – 36
more inclusive. Not to flog a dead Vulcan, but the record collecting hobby goes back long before Star Trek first aired in 1966. In fact, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that collecting recorded music may very well be the first pop culture-related hobby of the 20th century. From the 1870s onward, Edison, Bell and Berliner all took big steps towards perfecting devices that would lead to the early 1900s when opera star Enrico Caruso had some of the earliest hit records. This would lead to the 78 record, the popular format that endured for the first half of the century. I once thumbed through The Record Changer, a jazz rag from the 1940s that was the first magazine, to my knowledge, that enabled collectors to list their needs and wants in a lengthy back section. Sometime after the war, once the production of records resumed (banned during the war due to supply shortages), it was all about the demand for new and current records. Hard to believe, but back then record companies saw little value in last year's hits; once it lost favor on the jukeboxes and radio of the late 1940s, the 78's were discarded and went out of print. As tastes changed and the Big Band era faded into pop, jump, R&B, and the dawn of rock 'n roll in the 1950s, the popularity of the 45 exploded as did the durable 12" LP (long play) format. At 33 1/3 RPM speed, it allowed for approximately 12 songs, which served first Sinatra, then Elvis, then The Beatles extremely well. Five-plus decades later, here we are digging through the LP bins at the WJFF sale. As we all stood patiently in the long corridor that day,
many of us had canvas bags or crates in hand, in anticipation like youngsters waiting to get on the bumper cars in Coney Island. The hour finally came. An army of collectors descended on the boxes of potential delights, with that whiff of dust, old cardboard, and vinyl in the air that can only mean one thing: LP records! As elbows and hands flipped through platters of Liberace, 101 Strings, and Ray Conniff, one is reminded that there was indeed a time in the 1950s and 1960s when easy listening was in high demand. Although I have been known to enjoy a taste of this kind of schmaltz, today is not that day. Personally, I must confess, my tastes are rather scattered and spread across the 20th century. My personal library has pieces from nearly every genre of every decade it represents. Among the 70 to 80 LPs I purchased, let me give you a few highlights. Julie Is Her Name is the first album by the underrated, delightful chanteuse Julie London; from late 1955, her quiet purr is accompanied only by bass and guitar. Not so delightful but somehow still intoxicating, I found a copy of the debut by whispery French vocalist Claudine Longet, often lost (and perhaps rightfully so) in the sea of masterpieces that came out in 1967. And although I didn't find a Rolling Stones album from that time, I did find a clean copy of their 1976 groove-heavy Black and Blue, officially their 13th studio album. I scooped up an LP of horror legend Boris Karloff reading Rudyard Kipling stories (which could be fun or not), one by an obscure R&B singer named Jimmy McCracklin of material from the late 1950s, a collection of late 1940s and
Jeffersonville Journal – 37
1950s songs by country singer T. Texas Tyler, and a trashed but still listenable copy of Groovin' High by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, a must-have collection from '55 that boasts my favorite tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon along with a sizable all-star cast. After about 3 hours I was exhausted, and my hands were filthy from all these delighfully dirty albums. I looked up from the bins to see a smiling Dennis and his LP winnings, along with Charlie and his new $20 acoustic guitar that looked like it still had stories to tell. Both were ready to head back home with their treasures. All in all, it was a great way to spend a chilly November Saturday. It’s an event we look forward to all year long—you too should come join in on the fun! Next time, we'll be even earlier. Thanks, WJFF!

s Director of Gardens with Foster Supply Hospitality, I have assembled a fantastic collection of exotic plants from all reaches of the globe. On Shandelee, a place famous for its dynamic weather, there is now a subtropical paradise. The charming, weathered barn behind The Arnold House built in the 1960's for barbecues and square dances has been transformed into an incredible event space, featuring a brand new state-of the-art greenhouse. A perfect marriage of vintage Catskills and advanced horticultural technology. The vision: a climate-controlled environment, where friends and family can gather to celebrate special events like weddings and anniversaries in a year-round garden setting. A place for club gatherings and yoga classes, nestled in botanical splendor. No matter what the weather, it's always summer in here. Damon Sabatini, owner of S&W Construction Group, embraced the project. "The biggest challenge was merging old and new together and making it look like the building had been there for years,” says Sabatini. “The exciting part was including my design and vision into the project and having a team that made it all happen." Through a punishing winter, Sabatini and his team
carefully dismantled portions of the old barn, saving the beautiful weathered siding to be re-purposed later. Like an erector set, step by step they assembled the skeletal structure, using a cherry picker crane to precisely align massive 24 foot wooden beams. The roof is a technological marvel. Interlocking sections of 16mm transparent honeycomb polycarbonate keep the rain and snow out, while letting the sun shine in. In time, the open space interior will become a jungle paradise of night-blooming jasmine, passion flower and bougainvillea, fresh herbs for our restaurants’ kitchens, and even a lemon tree to freshen cocktails at the bar. Fittingly, The Arnold Greenhouse had its soft opening in May 2019 on Livingston Manor's Annual Flower Day. A steady stream of visitors enjoyed the beautiful space and Wildflower Seed Bomb Workshops. Like a Hollywood set, the front of the barn, with its wood planks and large roller doors, is a quirky facade that conceals an indoor secret garden. After brunch or dinner at The Arnold House Tavern, or after your massage at The Spa, stop in and enjoy our amazing new greenhouse at the top of Shandelee Road. You are always welcome and something is always blooming.

Connecting in the Sullivan Catskills
o you remember the days when you were making travel plans to a completely foreign destination, a different country, perhaps an entirely different continent and there was that go-to book that everyone talked about, Lonely Planet? The world’s leading travel authority? Well Lonely Planet isn’t so foreign from the Catskills any longer. Back in November of last year, Lonely Planet declared the Catskills, specifically the Sullivan Catskills, as one of the top ten regions of, not just the United States but the WORLD, to visit in 2019. We’re actually number 2 on the list! Now if you’re local to the Sullivan County area of the Catskills, you of course know the location of the waterfalls that no one else knows about, the best secret fishing spot in the creek by your friends house, or the perfect time of day to go hiking up to Jensens when no one else will be there to hinder the view, but what exactly is it that attracts people from far and wide to our part of the state? Perhaps
it’s the festivals and fairs, the farmer’s markets and the camping, or maybe it’s just realizing that the countryside brings us back to our connection with nature and the peace that's found in living simply. One thing is for sure, whether it’s winter with 3 feet of snow or the middle of summer with 90 percent humidity, there is always something happening. In the dead of January, The Roscoe Beer Company just a few minutes drive from Roscoe’s main street, hosts its annual Winter Fest with an outside bonfire, snowman building, live music, winter activities and beer tasting. In February, The Arnold House in Livingston Manor holds its annual Ice Fishing Derby: a three-day event of ice fishing and an oyster and vodka bar on the open lake. Every Spring, in March, Winterton Farms in Bloomingburg opens their working farm for the day, inviting families and friends to visit their “sugar houses” to taste and experience the world of pure NY maple syrup,

Speaking of maple syrup, April is the annual 5K Sap Run in Jeffersonville. On the same day, Wurtsboro hosts their Spring Fling in the Veterans Park welcoming warmer weather and outdoor activities. SUNY Sullivan in Loch Sheldrake welcomes May with its annual Kite Festival, which for anyone who loves a good windy day, this is an event not to miss. Children, teens, and adults flock to the field in front of the college with kites of all varieties, while craft and food vendors sell their wares. May also brings Memorial Day, which is celebrated and honored in every town across the county, from the Town of Fremont’s grand parade to Barryville’s memorial services, everyone comes out to remember those who have been lost and those who are still fighting. If you can’t make a trip until June, don’t worry, the summer sunshine allows for more outdoor gatherings like the 11th Annual Fun Fair at the Kadampa Meditation Center in Glen Spey, and it’s exactly that, FUN. Just a week after is the Trout Parade in the Town of Rockland happening for its 15th year and if you get in the car and head over the hill to Callicoon you’ll make it for the Annual Tractor Parade that has been gathering tractors large and small, old and new, together for more than 20 years. If you like antique, classic and muscle cars, head on over to the town park in Callicoon Center.
Don’t forget the Kauneonga Block Party in White Lake as well as all the amazing farmer’s markets in nearly every town and village with amazing vegetables, fruits, meats and more from our local farmers and craftsmen. July 4, the Greater Liberty Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Liberty Festival while the Town of Bethel has Lakeside Music. The village of Narrowsburg, overlooking the river, sets up for Riverfest on the 21st of the month just before August comes around the corner. Have you ever wished a festival could be dedicated to your favorite food? Well in Monticello one festival is, The Bagel Festival. We would eat every bagel if we could. Just before the kids go back to school, the fairs come into town. The Grahamsville Little World’s Fair is a country treat, with cotton candy, funnel cake, rides, games and of course, livestock. Proud farmers and 4H club members show their ponies, horses, cows, sheep, rabbits, chickens and more. As the summer starts to wind down, events and festivals do as well, but there are still some gems to look forward to like the National Alpaca Day Festival at Buck Brook Alpacas in Roscoe, the Big Eddy Film Festival in Narrowsburg, the Harvest Festival at Bethel Woods, the Catskills Fiber Festival in Bethel, Founders Day in Jeffersonville, Halloweenfest in Wurtsboro, Destination Hancock concerts and markets, and History Afternoon in Neversink. And keep your eyes open and ears listening, because sometimes events pop up out of the blue, inspired by new crafts or the weather. You never know what you’ll find on a weekday here in the Catskills, you just might pass an amazing yard sale or an old antique store with those chairs you’ve always been looking for. Whatever your reason for visiting, you’re welcome here, just please be sure to respect the way of life here, don’t leave anything behind or forgotten, and smile at everyone you meet!

Town of Delaware Celebrates 150 Years Town Historian, Cindy Herbert
s we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock in Bethel New York this summer, another monumental anniversary is happening in the Town of Delaware, its Sesquicentennial. Interestingly enough the Town of Delaware was once part of the Town of Bethel until 1828. Once separated from Bethel, it was part of the Town of Cochecton and on March 1, 1869, thirty five square miles separated again and formed the Town of Delaware. The first town meeting was held at the home of Charles Fisher in March of 1869 and the first supervisor of the newly formed town was Isaac R. Clements, a tanner from Kenoza Lake. The land within the town’s boundaries was part of the Hardenburgh Patent No. 1 tract, a division of land in Sullivan County that was purchased in London in 1750 by a New York distiller, Joseph Griswold. He had seen an advertisement listing lands for sale in the Province of New York and purchased two parcels of land for $10,000. The first known settler was Joseph Ross, he settled just beyond the location of the cemetery in Callicoon on Creamery Road in the 1760s. Other early settlers were David Young who settled at Big Island, John Ross at Callicoon Creek and Charles Layton in Hortonville. The Lenape Indians were the first to hunt and fish this town’s dense forests with its abundant wildlife. By the 1600s, Dutchmen from the Hudson Valley who were transient hunters, named the Delaware's major local tributary Kollikoonkill.
It was not until the American Revolutionary War ended in 1783 that the timber industry flourished. Prior to this time, the land was rough, very difficult to reach and the Delaware River was hard to navigate. By 1800, the lumber rafting industry was the biggest venture along the Delaware River. Tanneries and sawmills were built in the town and hamlets formed around them. During the Civil War, 5 counties produced over 7 million dollars worth of finished leather. With the war the need for boots, harnesses, cartridge cases, saddles and belts rose. It took a full cord of bark, anywhere from 3 to 10 trees to tan 10 hides. Lumber was rafted down the Delaware River taking millions of board feet from here to fast growing cities such as Philadelphia, Trenton and Easton. By the time the Erie Railroad was completed in 1840, the hamlet of Callicoon and surrounding communities were growing fast. The lumber industry left this once dense area with open pastures and farming became the major industry along with tourism. Settlers began arriving steadily, the railroad had provided ingress to the hamlets and transportation for their products. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, vacationers aboard the Erie Railroad would arrive at Callicoon Station to spend the summer months in hotels, boarding houses, and in rooms that farm folk rented out. With the influx of tourism the Erie Railroad added more cars to the trains, even creating a “Callicoon Special” line arriving Saturday evenings at 6pm for businessmen who wanted to spend

weekends with their families. In 1888, the Erie Railroad had published a book listing Summer Homes around the area. Many of the resorts and boarding houses provided transportation (horse and wagon) at an additional cost to pick passengers up at the train station. Much has changed over the past 150 years in our town but the beauty of this area remains and still attracts tourists and second homeowners like the bygone days. The following will only touch the brief history of the areas that sprung up here. With so much to share, please start to follow History of Town of Delaware NY on facebook! KENOZA LAKE
Pike Pond, the original name of the hamlet, was officially changed to Kenoza Lake on April 29, 1890 after a summer boarder told Postmaster Wales how fond he was of Whittier's poem "Kenoza Lake." Kenoza, an Indian name meaning "Land of Pickerel," was a wonderful name especially suitable for a summer resort business that offered vacationers great fishing, swimming, boating, and "breathing the pines" thought to help prevent and cure tuberculosis. A man named Woodruff settled in Pike Pond in 1812 and built a sawmill on Bauer’s Pond. Followed by Captain Nathan Moulthrop in 1820. He and his crew were engaged
Moulthrop built his home on the lake in 1913 and operated a rental boat business while Kenoza Lake was flourishing with summer boarders. By the 1870's, the hamlet thrived and new businesses continued to open, the population was 1,998. A tannery was established by Gideon Wales and employed thirty men. The Klein family established a wagon-making shop, a harness shop and a blacksmith's shop. The blacksmith's shop was bought by Joe and Mollie Allgeier in the 1930's and turned into a tavern. The Methodist Church was organized by Rev, John Davy, who was the first pastor. In all, there were 23 places that welcomed summer boarders. Feinberg's Edgemere Casino and Boarding House, was located where the post office stands. It offered dining and live bands. There was a walking bridge (now a dam) across the falls which led directly to a large gazebo. Later, a penny arcade was built on the gazebo site offering ice cream, fountain sodas and souvenirs. One could also try their luck on nickel slot machines. There were more than one bowling alley, a pool parlor, Raum’s Variety Store and many other businesses. A one room school house was located on Swiss Hill Road. Later a larger school was built and was what is now the Kenoza Lake Fire Department. The historic Stone Arch Bridge, now preserved by the state as a park, is located in Kenoza Lake and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge was built in 1880 by Swiss German immigrants Henry and Philip Hembdt. This bridge was a very important part of the route between the Newburgh Cochecton Turnpike (currently named the Old Newburgh Cochecton Turnpike) and the Callicoon valley. The infamous hex murder that was committed on the bridge in 1892 has long intrigued many.
The Moulthrop House
in running the British blockade. While leaving port in Copenhagen with a cargo of Chinese silk, his ship was captured by the British, and he was imprisoned in England. After his release, Nathan settled in Kenoza Lake and acquired several thousand acres from the Hardenberg Patent. The land was used for timber and tanning. Included with this purchase was Kenoza Lake ~ I 00 acres, one-miIe long, and a half-mile wide. Nathan had another lake built, primarily designed as a reserve to Kenoza Lake in case of drought and to supply water to the tannery and a creamery. This second lake was Hust Pond, later named after Fred A. Hust, who eventually purchased it. The Moulthrop family also operated the gristmill and sawmill. In 1893, Wirt Moulthrop opened a general merchandise business and later became the postmaster. Wilmot
Charles Horton built this Greek Revival style store after he built his tannery across the street in 1848. Henry Gardner purchased this from Horton in 1867. Henry became the first postmaster in Hortonville in 1897 and opened the post office in this building.
HORTONVILLE
Although, the first settler to the Hortonville area was Charles Layton in 1790, the hamlet derived its name from Charles Horton in 1869, after the "Town of Delaware" was founded. Horton purchased property with Charles Knapp in
Jeffersonville Journal – 53
1848 from the Griswold Estate and a year later built a tannery. Horton and his business partners including Isaac Clements and Thomas Casey, the tannery showed excellent profits during the Civil War period. The tannery was located on County Route 121 (North Branch Road) on the right hand side going in the direction of North Branch. Across the street from the tannery was his farm and also a general store he built in 1850. In 1867, Henry Gardner bought the farm, the tannery and the general store. When Henry Gardner owned the tannery it annually consumed about 1000 cords of bark and tanned about 10,000 hides. Later, Gardner made the tannery into a paper mill. The Hortonville Carriage House Factory and Blacksmithing Works was located across from what is now the town hall and owned by Gardner, Osterhout & Co. The feed mill was next door and also owned by Gardner until bought by Fromm and Neumann. The Hortonville Hotel was built by Nicholas Haus in 1872. His successor was John F. Robish who eventually turned over the hotel in 1888 to his niece Catherine Glassel who was married to John Wagner. In 1905, George W. Buddenhagen, a nephew of Catherine bought the hotel. Valentine's Beers and Ales were supplied by the brewery located in Jeffersonville, N.Y. There were several owners of this property before it was demolished in the 1980s. The hotel was located on the corner of Beechwoods Road and Main Street. Charles and Betsey Horton, Isaac and Elizabeth Clements and Thomas and Mary Casey sold 1/4 acre parcel of land for $1.00, to Christian Wagoner, Frederick Gottschalk and Henry Grebe, Trustees of the Free German Presbyterian Church. The deed was officially received on June 14, 1860. Prior to the church being built services were held in the old school house that once stood up on the hill in what is now the Hortonville Cemetery.
in a house right next to Kohler Lumber. He eventually sold land to the Kohler family. First to Edward Kohler in 1904, purchasing 2 acres for his paint shop. In 1905 William Kohler and Jacob Wilford purchased land to start building homes. In 1907, William had purchased the property where the lumber mill is and founded Kohler Lumber. Soon after, William’s mill grew and he started building homes, beautifully built with distinctive rounded rafters he designed, a trademark to this day that makes them highly recognizable. Louis Dietrich who eventually lived in a Kohler built home, led the crew building houses for William Kohler. Fred Schwartz worked on this crew and would cut the rounded rafters with at that time, the only bandsaw in the area. While William was busy running the mill, brother’s Andrew Kohler ran a general store, which is now Sal’s Pizzeria and Edward Kohler had a car dealership across the street. Before the brothers settled in Kohlertown, they had come to America with their parents who had bought the farm once owned by Winkelsterns, between Kohlertown and what was Falls Mills. Melchoir later moved his family to the Beechwoods property now known as the Villa Roma Resort. The original schoolhouse still stands along Route 52

KOHLERTOWN
Kohlertown School
The flats of Kohlertown was kind of a “suburb” of Jeffersonville but in the Town of Delaware. When John Holpp retired from running his boarding house in Tennanah Lake in 1890, he purchased land in Kohlertown and lived
and converted into a home. The Dietrich home is now Stewart Murphy Funeral Home. There were places for tourists to stay such as Pine Inn and and Valentine Schmidt’s hotel, who also happened to be the proprietor of the Jeffersonville Brewery, manufacturing and dealing in Lager Beer and supplied many hotels and saloons locally. The Oak Hotel was located across from Sal’s Pizzeria.
BEECHWOODS
Along with Kohlertown and parts of Kenoza Lake, the Beechwoods had many Swiss families settle here. A census showed that between 1850-1860 56 Swiss families had come to this area. There were many farms and plenty of boarding houses for the influx of tourists. The Beechwood
Jeffersonville Journal – 54
Mountain House was large and run by the Long Brothers. Each year there was a large picnic in the Beechwoods and was said to have had thousands of people and consumed 20 kegs of beer! Beechwoods was not really considered a hamlet like the rest in the town, there were two schools, a lower Beechwoods school and an upper Beechwoods school. Prior to these schools being built, many of the children had to walk to the Falls Mills School, quite a hike especially in the winter. At the four corners of Tonjes Road and County Road 164 stood the Beechwoods Post Office and general store which was said to be run by Charlie Robish. CALLICOON
Callicoon Depot had gotten its name only after the Erie Railroad was completed in 1848 and had served as one of the staging areas for the depot but in 1906 the U.S. postal service changed its name to Callicoon and renamed the original Callicoon to Callicoon Center. Callicoon Depot raised up from a wilderness with three homes, a Methodist Church and a Catholic Church. Main Street grew quickly with as many as 15 new businesses, about thirty new dwellings and 150 inhabitants. In 1888, a fire started in one of the wooden frame structures on Main Street and by sunrise most of the town was in ashes. The local firemen and buffer zone created by the railway stopped the fire from burning the entire hamlet down. The fire stopped at the Layton building, which is now Freda Realty. The business owners were quick to rebuild on the stone foundations that already existed, most of the buildings on Main Street today are the ones thrown up quickly after that fire and reflect the Italianate style of that period. Homes started springing up along the hillside.
Lower Main Street, Callicoon
Several of the homes still standing on the small side streets off of Route 97 were owned by the merchants, hoteliers and lumberman of Callicoon boom time. The Western Hotel, Olympia Hotel and the Delaware House served the Erie-transported visitors. The Delaware House, originally built in 1864 was also destroyed by the fire of 1888. The lot was sold to Jacob Dietz who built the present structure and was operated as a hotel with a
Erie Station in Callicoon
ballroom and saloon until the 1930s. The Olympia Hotel which has been newly renovated this past year, again boasts a beautiful two-story wrap around porch. The Western Hotel was built by Henry Balkie in 1852, it was the second hotel in town. By 1870, new owner, Hermann Thorwelle enlarged the hotel. His son Charles ran it from 1885 to 1902 and was known to be the best innkeeper in town. He is responsible for adding the rear extension, including Harmony Hall which served as a concert hall and ballroom with a stage. The beautiful bluestone structure overlooking Callicoon was St. Joseph’s Seraphic Seminary. Franciscan Friars first came to Callicoon in 1895. The Order had purchased a large boarding house which soon after, in 1908 construction of the seminary began, followed by the chapel in 1928. It has been home to the Delaware Valley Job Corps since 1977. In 1899 a bridge spanning the Delaware River from Callicoon to Pennsylvania was erected at a cost of $23,180.00. The bridge was ready on January 16, 1899 and served as a toll bridge for 25 years. In 1924 it was purchased jointly by the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and became a free bridge. The oldest house known to be built in the town in the mid-1840s was of John Calkin, a mill owner. At the turn of the century it was the office and residence of Dr. Kemp. Across the road was Mills’s Hospital, opened in 1932 by Dr. George Mills as a private hospital serving the community. It was the only hospital in a 25 mile radius until his death in 1966. By 1970 the Grover M. Hermann Division of Community General Hospital was opened on Route 97 with much support of Grover, a philanthropist who also helped build our Delaware Youth Center. Grover’s father was Martin Hermann, who owned the Martin Hermann Lumber Mill at the time the lumber industry began.
