2015: The year in review

By WHITNEY JOSEPH
editor@millertonnews.com

HARLEM VALLEY 2015 was

a busy year. There were meetings
and events to cover, positive stories
and difficult ones. During it all, The
Millerton News was there, recording and reporting what was going on
throughout the Harlem Valley. So, as
2016 begins, it seems the perfect opportunity to look back and review the
biggest stories of last year.
This week the paper is publishing
the first part of its year in review; look
for part two next week.

DOVER A wooded area off Route

22 and Kitchen Corner Road in the
town of Dover was the scene of a macabre discovery last month, when the
body of 2-month-old Mason Whyte
was found fully clothed but no longer
alive.
Bronx resident Jose Feliciano, 51,
was charged with the infants death.
Feliciano faces charges of seconddegree murder, manslaughter and
manslaughter of a person less than
11 years old.
Feliciano was the babys mothers
boyfriend, and the babys father, according to media reports.

The flyboys from

Yale, in film at Forum
MILLERTON They were 12
young, rich, privileged students at Yale,
where classical education emphasized
the duties of a countrys elite. When
war broke out in Europe in 1914, they
formed an aero club at their own expense to train as pilots. And when the
U.S. entered the war in 1917, they were
among the first to volunteer for the
Naval Reserve and go to Europe to try
to destroy German submarine bases.
Their comrades called them The Millionaires Unit.
On Sunday, Jan. 17, at The Moviehouse in Millerton, The Salisbury Forum will present a new award-winning
documentary film that tells the story of
these young men and how their experiences in the war altered not only their
lives, but the future of military aviation,
warfare, even foreign policy.
Created by friends Ron King (a
grandson of unit member John M. Vorys) and Darroch Greer, the film draws
on The Millionaires Unit, a book by
Marc Wortman. Extensive research at
Yale, the Library of Congress, even the
Imperial War Museum in London gave
the filmmakers insights into the importance of the Unit. And they filmed

World War I planes at air museums in

the U.S. and in Europe.
But the most touching parts of the
film come from the fliers own words
in letters home told by family members and historians (Bruce Dern narrates the documentary). If there is a
model for The Millionaires Unit, it
must be the best films of Ken Burns,
the ones that draw you inside lives,
with all their triumphs and sorrows.
World War I was not the heroic
conflict Unit fliers expected. More
than 17 million people died, 116,000
of them Americans. Whole towns and
villages were decimated. Mustard gas
and mud replaced the valor of earlier
wars. And while the fliers from Yale,
and eventually Harvard and other top
Eastern colleges, never succeeded in
destroying German U-boat bases, they
proved aviation could be a critical
component of future warfare.
The Millionaires Unit will be
shown at The Moviehouse on Jan.
17 at 11:15 a.m. Filmmaker Ron King,
author Marc Wortman and local historian Geoffrey L. Rossano, who wrote
a book about naval aviation in World
War I, will all be present to answer
questions. Books will be for sale, too.
As with all Forum events, admission
is free.

The mother, who was identified as

Danielle Whyte, reportedly told authorities about the gruesome account
after being admitted to a Manhattan
hospital and then transferred to New
York-Presbyterian Hospital in White
Plains, for attempting suicide. Whyte
was said to have reported the crime to
a hospital staffer after trying to overdose on pills.
The babys body was discovered on
Saturday, Dec. 19. He was reportedly
beaten to death on Thursday, Dec. 10,

MILLBROOK Millbrook resident Alec A. Pandeleon was devastated,

as was most of the world, by the massacre that took place in Paris, France,
on Nov. 13, 2015. He was so moved that
he went to the local funeral parlor and
got a memory book. He then made four
signs that said, WE STAND WITH
FRANCE and went around Millbrook
asking people if they would like to be
photographed holding the signs. The
photos were then compiled and presented, as an act of condolence, to the
people of France.
After filling almost 10 pages with
photos and signatures, Pandeleon then
went to the French Club at Millbrook
High School and asked if it would like
to participate. The Millbrook High

Herring, the club filled up the remainder of the book.
On Tuesday, Dec. 15, members of the

Students presented the book to Deputy Consul Yann Yochum. They were

No charges have been filed against
the babys mother at this time, though
her involvement in the crime remains
under investigation.
According to authorities, Feliciano
has a criminal record that includes
assault, rape, prostitution and drug
charges.
Television news accounts showed
video of Feliciano leaving his Bronx
apartment after 11 a.m. on Dec. 10,
carrying a duffel bag. It is suspected
that the infants body may have been
in that bag.

THE MILLERTON NEWS, Thursday, January 7, 2016

OBITUARIES
Woody Hochswender
SHARON William Joseph
Hochswender III, known to everyone as Woody,
died Dec. 31, 2015, at
his home in Sharon.
He was 64.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on June
20, 1951, he was
the son of the late
Roslyn (McCarthy)
and William Joseph
Hochswender II.
The family moved
to Sea Cliff on Long
Island when he was
a boy and he attended Sea Cliff
schools and North Shore High
School, where he earned many
academic and athletic honors.
Woody attended Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y., and was
a member of the Delta Kappa
Epsilon fraternity. It was an allmale school at that time; he also
attended the all-womens Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs,
N.Y., as an exchange student for
one semester.
After graduation, he had a
number of odd and colorful
jobs. He liked to tell stories about
working at UPS and about selling yo-yos on the steps of Lincoln
Center. At one point he ran the
bicycle rental concession in Central Park. He was a model for a
while, and was in magazine photo
shoots and runway fashion shows,
hired by the woman who would
be one of the biggest professional
influences in his life, Kezia Keeble.
Kezia introduced Woody to
Nichiren Buddhism, a practice
to which he remained faithful for
the rest of his life; and she encouraged him to follow his dream of
becoming a professional writer
and working in the publishing
industry.
It was his buddhist chanting
and Kezias mentoring that led
him to his first job as a book jacket copy writer for Avon Books,
which was owned by the Hearst
Corporation. For most of his career, Woody worked for Hearst,
first at Avon, then at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner (where he
worked for the legendary editor
Jim Bellows) and then at Harpers
Bazaar, where he was a features
editor.
Thanks in part to his training
as a book jacket editor, Woody
became a master at writing pithy,
witty sentences. In his writing, he
never wasted words.
He was also a particularly fine
editor who could gracefully and
skillfully reshape his writers
words (although only when necessary). He was also exceptionally compassionate toward and
considerate of his writers.
He was hired away from Bazaar to become a fashion reporter
for The New York Times. In addition to traveling to Paris, London, Milan and other major cities
in Europe, Asia and the United
States to cover runway shows, he
wrote a weekly column for The
Times called Patterns, which
covered the business of Seventh
Avenue (as the fashion industry
is known).
As a New York Times fashion journalist, he was courted
by the wealthy, the powerful and
the beautiful, but he always remained true to who he was. In
part because of this, there was an
honesty, simplicity and purity to
his writing that made his work
exceptional.
Throughout his career, many
editors tried to hire him away;
eventually he left The Times to
join his friend Terry McDonnell
at Esquire (another Hearst publication). In addition to writing
about menswear and mens style,
and editing a special publication
called Esquire Gentleman, he
wrote a column for Esquires sister publication, Harpers Bazaar,
called Pins and Needles. He remained at Esquire after Terry left,
working under another legendary
editor, Ed Kosner. When Kosner
left, Woody left, too.
Around that time, his father
was badly injured in a boating
accident at his summer home on
Block Island, R.I. While his two
broken legs were being treated, it

Maude Smith Lovett

NORTH CANAAN Maude
Smith Lovett, 78, of Lower Road
died Dec. 14, 2015, at Geer Nursing and Rehabilitation.
Born April 7, 1937, in Stanfordville, N.Y., she was the daughter
of May Bertha (Antine) and Delos
Rifenburgh. She attended schools
in Pine Plains.
Maude enjoyed sewing and
often made teddy bears for the
Geer Rehabilitation Center bazaar. She also liked collecting
dolls and playing bingo. Above
all else she cherished spending
time with her family.
She married Thomas E. Red
Lovett Sr. on April 30, 1961.
Mrs. Lovett is survived by
her son, Thomas Lovett Jr. and
his wife, June, of Housatonic,
Mass.; her daughter, Candee
Vincent and her husband, Leon,
of Plattsburgh, N.Y.; her grand-

sons, Christopher and his wife,

Mia Darone, and Marc Lovett, all
of Housatonic, Mass., and Joseph
Vincent of Plattsburgh, N.Y.; her
great-grandchildren, Eva and
Zachary of Housatonic; and her
sister, Ruth Snyder and her husband, Floyd, of Dade City, Fla.
She was predeceased by her
husband and her two sons, Steven
and Brian Lovett, who all died in
a fire at their home in 1982.
In accordance with her wishes,
services were private.
Donations in Maudes memory may be made to the Lakeville

was discovered that Bill also had a

cancer that had spread throughout most of his
body. Woody was
living part-time in
Sharon at that time;
his father also had a
Sharon residence.
Woody nursed his
father through his
illness and wrote
from home until
his fathers death.
Woody meanwhile had discovered that he liked
working from home and that in
many ways it was easier to write
when he could spend part of the
day puttering around the house

North East protests state tax cap

Webutuck breakfast brings holiday joy

By LIZETT PAJUELO
Special to The Millerton News
WEBUTUCK School winter recess kicked off with the
24th annual holiday breakfast
on Wednesday, Dec. 23. Three
hundred students and staff gathered in the Eugene Brooks Intermediate Schools gymnasium to
celebrate the meaning of unity
during the holiday season.
Students from fourth through
eighth grade, faculty and staff interacted throughout the morning
as they waited for breakfast to be
served, and afterward, while Webutucks band and chorus played
and sang to some seasonal favorites.
A tradition of the Webutuck
school district for many years, the
breakfast serves the purpose of
gathering students and staff to
celebrate their hard work and the

seasons spirit of friendship and

good will.
A large event requires attention to details, and having many
people in hand willing to help is
always a blessing, said organizers.
We have a tremendous
amount of volunteers and faculty
willing to help, science teacher
Christine Gillette said.
A committee of middle school
staff and faculty helped plan for
the event; students were in charge
of decorations everyone played
an important role.
Gillette extended a special
thanks to the cafeteria staff for
coming in early to ensure everything was ready for the breakfast, and to the custodial staff and
maintenance for making sure
everything was where it needed
to be.
Before students were ready to
go back to class, Dean of Students

Erik Lynch was the barer of sad

news for the school district. He
announced that Cathy Cristofel
who has been the nurse for the
district for the past 16 years will
be leaving Webutuck to pursue
other endeavors.
Shes an essential figure, he
said.

NORTH EAST The Town

Board discussed a number of issues
at its monthly meeting in December, including the state-mandated
property tax cap. The conversation
was precipitated by the receipt of a
letter from Dr. Patrick Keem, supervisor of the town of Orchard
Park, in Erie County, N.Y.
Keem was seeking support in a
letter he penned to Gov. Andrew
Cuomo, and looking for other
towns to pen similar letters. He
requested the tax cap legislation
be revisited and amended is such
ways as to alleviate its unforeseen negative consequences.
Most, if not all, local governments have already begun to experience the financial stress, and
in some cases distress, that the
current iteration of the New York
State Tax Cap has produced, Keem
wrote. Many have already or will
imminently have to spend down
their reserve funds to an unhealthy
level, cut services and employees,
and submit to options that, in the
long term, will prove more costly
both in terms of services and expenses [i.e. infrastructure].
In the absence of mandate
relief and/or increased state and
federal aid, he added, the reality of stagnated revenue streams
for most communities cannot do
otherwise than render the tax cap
unsustainable at the local level.
He then proposed that the local
leaders who received his letter sign
and return copies of a model letter
to send to Gov. Cuomo by the end
of December; that one local official
serve as the contact person for tax
cap issues; and that at least one local official travel to Albany in the
future to meet with and further
encourage the governor to take
some positive action.
Town Supervisor John Merwin

and town Councilman George

Kaye said anything that could be
done to address the tax cap issue
is worthwhile.
Ive said it before, weve all
tried to look at the tax cap, said
Merwin. Its artificial to begin
with. The state has multiple revenue streams and we have property
tax. They have income tax Its
a nice effort; I dont know if its
going to result in anything though.
The board authorized Merwin
to sign and return the sample letter
provided by Keem.
Kaye said one of the biggest issues is that most towns use up their
reserves and have to seek outside
funds to pay for services once the
tax cap is instituted. This years tax
cap was .73 percent.
And next year, if it goes like it
sounds its intended to, its going
to be a zero percent increase, said
Kaye. If thats the case, how do you
account for any increases in costs
to municipalities, in such things
as sand, stone, insurance, workers
compensation and that doesnt
even consider raises for anyone.
Its impossible to budget.
Merwin agreed the tax cap
makes budgeting more difficult.
A lot of the budget is estimating
expenditures and revenues based
on past histories, he said. When
you get to the budget year you may
have over spent it, and have to take
out money from another area
The Town Board has been very
adamant about showing good faith
and trying to keep expenditures
down. I dont see how that could
be done again.
Kaye added that since the tax
cap has been instituted, the town
has traditionally budgeted under
the cap but has then been forced
to exceed the cap to pay for special services. One example the
towns provision of EMS (emergency medical service) care; in 2015
the town had to hire Northern

Correction
MILLERTON The
location of a garbage can

Dutchess Paramedics (NDP) for

ambulance care after the North
East Fire District said it could no
longer do so. It now costs the town
of North East $180,000 a year for
24-hour Advanced Life Service
(ALS) and Basic Life Service (BLS)
coverage for town residents with
a 15-minute response time. The
terms of that contract were continued into 2016.
The only other thing to do is
cutting services, said Kaye, and
Im sure people would not be happy
if their roads were not plowed in
the winter or salted or sanded, or
if we had to cut insurance for employees.
Or raise fees for building,
added Merwin.
Though thats not appreciable
income, said Kaye. The supervisor agreed.
Merwin then mentioned the
fact that the town has been losing
out on mortgage tax, as many of
them more expensive homes in
town are being paid for in cash.
Mortgage tax has come down,
he said. A lot of multi-million dollar houses are being bought for
cash, and the state is refusing any
kind of tax on that.
Municipalities receive nothing
for that, added Kaye.
Some people are escaping it,
said Merwin. We all empathize
wholeheartedly with taxpayers because we all pay taxes ourselves,
but were seeing things on the
other side of our desks trying to
provide services and move forward
and our hands are tied.
Merwin added that he was happy to receive Keems request, as it
has a direct impact on the town of
North East.
Normally we see this kind of
thing but it doesnt directly affect
us, like PCBs in the Hudson River,
he said. But this does. Its a symbolic objection, but we wanted to
make it anyway.

By GABRIEL NAPOLEON
Special to The Millerton News

AMENIA As is annual tradition, the town has recognized

its Citizens of the Year for 2015.
Residents were selected in the
hamlets of Amenia and Wassaic.
Amenia
Longtime local resident Evelyn
Frankie OConnell was named
Citizen of the Year in Amenias
namesake hamlet.

Frankie was chosen Amenia

Citizen of the Year in recognition
of her exemplary, lifelong service
to many organizations and her
church in Amenia, said town Supervisor Victoria Perotti.
Perotti noted OConnells
dedicated 20-year service to the
Amenia Recreation Commission,
of which she will retire from this
year.
The first five or so years of
those were informal, OConnell

recalled, as the commission hadnt

officially formed until about 15
years ago.
I was one of the original
members, OConnell said, adding she was also the commissions
treasurer.
Of her tenure with the group,
organizing senior field trips and
Easter egg hunts for local children stand out to OConnell as
personal highlights.
Those were two of the things I
was really involved with, she said.
I did really so enjoy it.
Despite her service, OConnell
was surprised when she heard she
was chosen for the honor.
I was totally shocked, the
46-year resident said. Never
in a million years would I have

thought of this.
OConnell and her husband
moved to Amenia from Central
Islip, L.I., in 1969, after transferring locations for their New York
State medical positions.
Perotti said OConnells loyal
participation and generous support of our community events is
greatly appreciated by all.
Wassaic
Bowie Zunino, Jeff BarnettWinsby and Eve Biddle were all
named Wassaics Citizens of the
Year.
The trio are co-directors of the
arts and educational organization
known as The Wassaic Project.
Perotti said this team was selected for establishing their organization in the heart of Wassaic

six years ago.

The trios boundless creativity, energy and enthusiasm have
attracted new artists and residents with a deep appreciation
for our rich history, the supervisor said.
Perotti added that The Wassaic
Projects summer festival attracts
some 4,000 visitors and artists
to see exhibits and live performances in carefully renovated
historic buildings in the hamlet
center in August.
Barnett-Winsby said the codirectors responded to the news
with surprise and gratitude.
We are surrounded by so
many dedicated and generous
community members that we
were very surprised to be honored

so soon into our time in Wassaic,

but very grateful to be recognized
for our efforts, he said.
Asked if anything from 2015
particularly stood out, BarnettWinsby noted the organizations
growing education subset.
We are extremely proud of
our continued partnerships with
the [North East] Webutuck Central School District and the North
East Community Center teen internship program, he said.
For Perotti, free community
events such as The Haunted Mill,
Artist in Residence Open Studios
and the Community Day Parade
and Block Party stood out as just
a few of the cultural and recreational activities they provide to
our citizens.

PINE PLAINS

Speed limit reduction sought

Electronic voting
discussed by BOE
By JULIA TOMAINE
Special to The Millerton News
PINE PLAINS At the meeting of the Pine Plains Central
School District Board of Education (BOE) on Wednesday, Dec.
16, 2015, the board discussed the
implications of the electronic
voting requirements that will be
in place for the first time at the
school district level this spring.

Fire
department
election
results
Below are the results of Pine
Plains fire departments recent elections. The results took effect at the
start of this year.
Administration
President: Ronnie BrennerWalsh
Vice President: Brenda Jackson
Secretary: Marie Nuccio
Treasurer: Robert Mizgier
Fire
Chief: Brian Walsh
1st Asst. Chief: Mike Hill
2nd Asst. Chief: Open

1st Lt.: Steve Camburn
2nd Lt.: Open
Rescue Squad
Captain: Ronnie Brenner-Walsh
1st Lt.: Maura Camburn
Fire Police
Captain: Robert Mizgier
1st Lt.: Ethan DiMaria

These requirements remove

much local control over poll
staffing and related costs. With
limited county personnel trained
on the electronic voting process,
concerns were raised about both
the increased costs of maintaining three voting locations and the
ability to fully staff those locations. After extensive discussion
on the pros and cons, the board
approved a trial period of centralizing the districts annual election
and budget vote to a single polling
location.
Beginning with the May 17,
2016, annual meeting, the vote
on the school district budget
and Board of Education election
will be held at Stissing Mountain
Middle/High School. All district
voters will vote at that single location.
Julia W. Tomaine is the Pine
Plains Central Schools district clerk.

PINE PLAINS Some drivers have a need for speed, but

residents living along Route 83
between Bean River Road and
Carpenter Hill Road hope to reverse that trend.
Irene and Jack Banning have
taken steps to get the towns backing in requesting a speed limit reduction from Dutchess County.
The Bannings wrote a letter to
town Supervisor Brian Coons
about the matter this summer.
The matter was raised at the Town
Board meetings in November and
December, following a response
from Dutchess County Deputy
Commissioner of Public Works
(DPW) Robert Balkind.
Please consider this letter as a
formal request by us for the Town
Board to consider establishing an
area speed limit of 35 mph on the
stretch of Route 83 extending from
Bean River Road to Carpenter Hill
Road, the Bannings wrote. This
particular portion of Route 83 is
extremely hazardous, as the current speed limit is 55 mph.
In New York state, roads that
are not marked with signs have a
speed limit of 55 mph.
In this part of the road there
are numerous blind driveways as
well as ad hoc parking areas along
the sides of the road, the Bannings added. It is also a piece of
roadway used extensively by older
citizens walking dogs as well as
by bicyclists and runners, none of
whom can be easily seen due to
the numerous twists and turns of
the roadway.
If youre bicycling or a pedestrian, theres no shoulder there,
said resident Scott Chase.
The Bannings, meanwhile,
went on to state they understood
theyre talking about a county
road, and that the county highway
officials must make the decision.
But, they said, the process must
begin with the Town Board.
Town Councilman George
Keeler said the problem of speeding cars isnt a new one.
Years ago we asked for a reduced speed on Route 82, by the
preschool, he said. It was a real
problem. People would zoom right
through there.
Councilman Gary Cooper
echoed Keelers sentiments, and
said the town had spoken about

reducing the speed limit years ago.

When we, back 20 years ago,
asked for the town to come back
at like, 40 [mph], we had speed
limits set for the whole town, but
the board [at the time] didnt want
to pay for new signs, he said. I
dont know if [the county] will do
35 mph. The state is the one that
will determine it anyway.
According to Balkind, it is
the New York State Department
of Transportation (DOT) that
establishes all speed limits on
public roads. He told the Town

Board it must first adopt a resolution requesting the lower speed

limit, including the specific roads
identified, the specific speed limit
requested and the beginning and
end point of the proposed lower
speed limit.
The board did exactly that at its
Nov. 19 meeting.
A copy of the adopted resolution, along with required forms,
were forwarded to the DPW,
which will evaluate the request
and forward it on to the state DOT.
It will do so with a positive

New Years Eve in Millbrook

By JUDITH OHARA BALFE
judithb@millertonnews.com
MILLBROOK Mild temperatures were a factor in celebrating the annual New Years Eve in
Millbrook. This was the 10th year
Millbrook has hosted the event,
sponsored and coordinated by
the Millbrook Rotary Club and
Washington Town Clerk Mary
Alex. An array of events welcomed
both residents and visitors as they
walked from one event to another.
There was something for everyone
and each event was busy indeed.
Flashing-lit buttons and colorful crowns could be purchased
ahead of time at three local businesses, as well as at the Thorne
Building. According to Alex, who
is also the vice president of the
Millbrook Business Association,
by 6:45 p.m., all 1,200 buttons had
been sold, and people were still
arriving.
It was very successful, she
said.
Grace Church Chapel hosted
the Metropolitan Klezmer Band,
which performed three sets of
Klezmer music. Klezmer music is
the often upbeat and joyful music based in Yiddish roots. The
group is celebrating its 20 year
anniversary and just produced its
fifth album. Also at Grace Chapel
was Vito Petroccitto Jr., who performed three shows. He was billed
as a one-man pop/rock marvel.
Petroccitto is a well-known entertainer who hails from Poughkeepsie. He is a song writer and
record engineer/producer as well.
He appeared courtesy of Stewarts
Shops.
Next door, at Grace Churchs
Parish Hall, Peter Muir played
Rags, Blues and All That Jazz,
pleasing audiences at two different shows. Muir is a world-class

musician, performer and educator. He was part of the festivities

courtesy of Stewarts Shops.
Lyall Church also hosted
some events. Larry Ham and
Friends performed, courtesy of
the Millbrook Tribute Garden.
The world-renowned musicians played classic mainstream
jazz and had a full house at each
performance, playing for three
sets in all. They rotated performances with the Handman String
Quartet, which played classical
string music, and was funded by
Community Foundations of the
Hudson Valley. The Handman
String Quartet played in the Lyall
Church Sanctuary and was well
received by visitors.
Also at Lyall Church was
Steve Johnsons magic variety
show, which captivated young
and old alike. Johnson filled the
hall at every performance, with
children in front and audiences
spilling out into the hallway. And
just outside, in the church yard,
the Hudson Valley Railroad Club
had a large-scale train layout with
running trains, lights and sound

effects to the delight of those

who stopped by.
Elm Drive School was the site
of Button Down Balloons, which
provided instructions in twisting balloons into amusing shapes.
Drama Queen Masks was also at
the Elm Drive School; Deborah
Coconis performed and roving
characters in beguiling and interesting masks were a great hit.
Bindlestiff Circus was also at
the Elm Drive School, brought to
the festival courtesy of the Dyson
Foundation.
The Lions Club provided support at Village Hall for the CzechAmerican Marionette Theatre,
with Vit Horejs and his Century
Old Marionettes performing
Winter Tales With Strings. It
was a popular venue, with three
different performance times. The
Lions Club also sold chili, coffee,
hot chocolate and other snacks at
the Lyall Church Hall, to benefit
the organization.
Hot dogs, drinks and other
snacks were also available at the
VFW Post 9008 hall, as a fundraiser for the Millbrook VFW.

MILLBROOK It may seem

a mundane activity. Members of
VFW Post 9008 are often to be
found selling refreshments and
raffle tickets most recently at
New Years Eve festivities.
Theyve been doing this all fall,
and its for a good cause.
The VFW Post 9008 feeds
about 1,200 homeless families,
providing them with full dinners
for Thanksgiving, according to
Lon Moore, post commander.
Winners of this years gift basket raffle were Kelly Dixon and
Jonathan Boice. Both winners
asked that the baskets be donated
back to the needy.
Veterans can be counted on to

participate in town activities. On

Nov. 9, they were at the Veterans
Day ceremony at the firehouse.
On Nov. 14, they were at a flag
retirement ceremony. Old flags
were gathered from the veterans graves at local cemeteries,
brought back to Post 9008 and
burned while taps was played and
poems read in honor of departed
military members.
Two scholarships sponsored
by the post were given out that
day, to Ben Yager and Alyson
Chocianowski.
Plans for 2016 include more
good works, ceremonies for
departed service members and
continued participation in the
Millbrook community. Also in
the works is the formation of an
auxiliary for VFW Post 9008.

Albert Coy Sly

OBITUARIES
Patricia (Bernitt) Murtagh
MILLERTON Patricia (Bernitt) Murtagh, 71, died at Hartford
Hospital on Dec. 27, 2015. She was
born on Dec. 6, 1944, in Yonkers,
N.Y. Her family later moved to
Millerton. She attended Webutuck High School.
Pat worked at Sharon Hospital
for 43 years as director of Medical Records, retiring in 2005. She
went on to consult with hospitals
across the country, completing
her last and most challenging
contract in August 2015.
On Mothers Day 1990, Pat
received a liver transplant. This
miracle gifted her with 25 additional years of wonderful life.
Pat is survived by Tony Gentile, her life partner of 35 years;
her sons, Brian of Sharon and

Scott of Torrington; her sister,

Dorothy Cameron of North
Canaan; the two jewels in her
crown, grandchildren Lauren
and Robert; her extended family,
TJ Murtagh, Kathi and Dominic
Giglio, Candace Fox, Wes and
Jodi Baldwin, Shawn Pellegren,
Kevin Baldwin, Glenn Cameron;
and her nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her
parents, Walter and Dolores Bernitt; her sister, Yvonne Bernitt;
her grandson, Bryson Murtagh;
and Debbie Baldwin.
Pats life was celebrated Dec.
30 at the Sharon Congregational
Church.
The Kenny Funeral Home in
Sharon has charge of arrangements.

Louise (Edwards) Tyndall

FALLS VILLAGE Louise
(Edwards) Tyndall died peacefully
in the early morning hours of Dec.
6, 2015, at Noble Horizons after a
long series of illnesses.
After growing up mostly in
South Carolina, Louise attended
Duke University as a National
Merit Scholar. There she met her
future husband, upperclassman
Albert Tyndall, and left school to
marry him in the spring of 1958.
The couple lived in several
homes in the New York City area
before settling in the Northwest
Corner in 1979.
They kept an apartment in
Manhattan until Louise retired
from her work as a legal secretary
and paralegal, and her vocation as
an opera singer.
She and Al traveled widely
over the years. She once said she
had the same picture of him
standing in a bathing suit, thighdeep in salt water, smiling at her
in every ocean and most of the
seas in the world. Some of those
travels were trips she won on
game shows in the early years of
their marriage.
She also enjoyed cooking for
guests, watching tennis matches
and talking with almost anyone
about almost anything.
She remained active and
fiercely independent throughout her life, even after retirement,
widowhood, various illnesses and
even the loss of her youngest son.
She was appointed and later
elected the Republican registrar
of voters for Falls Village, and

thrived in the collegial atmosphere of Town Hall.

She continued to tend her garden even when she was no longer
able to walk through it, sitting in
her porch chair and orchestrating family members in their efforts to keep everything growing
just so.
And she doted upon her cats,
most recently the overweight,
unflappable Miss Gray. It is no
wonder, or accident, that the
sign on the path to that porch
read Tyndall Family Wildlife
Preserve, Gardens, Residence.
She was the widow of Albert
Forbes Tyndall Jr., her husband
of 48 years. She was also predeceased by a son, Mark Whitney
Tyndall. She is now with them
again, and all three are happier
for it.
She is survived by a son, David Tyndall of St. Louis, Mo.;
a daughter, Leigh Westberg of
Fairfield, Conn.; six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren;
and numerous friends, who made
her final days more pleasant than
they will ever know. Her ashes
will be interred with those of her
husband and son in Falls Village
in the springtime, when the flowers should be starting to bloom
in her beloved garden once more.
In lieu of even more flowers,
contributions may be made to
the David M. Hunt Library in
Falls Village, an institution which
provided Louises entire family
with much enjoyment and kindness over the years.

died on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24,
2015, at Noble Horizons at the
age of 92.
He was born Oct. 6, 1923, in

piano under Janet Niles and Luis
Harold Sanford. He attended the

School of Music but his studies
were interrupted by World War
II, when he was drafted into the

the European Theater until his
discharge in 1946.
He returned to Yale after the
war and received a BMus in 1948
and a MMus in 1949. He did graduate study in musicology at New
York University, Harvard and the
University of Michigan. He studied organ under Luther Noss at
Yale, Marilyn Mason in Michigan
and Marcel Dupre in Paris.
He was organist/choirmaster
at Trinity Episcopal Church in
Ossining, N.Y., from 1949 to 1950.
In 1950 he was appointed to the
faculty of The Hotchkiss School
in Lakeville as organist and choral director. He also taught music
history and theory and supervised
a dormitory. He resigned in 1970
and began a long association as
minister of music at the Congregational Church of Salisbury,
a position he would hold for 45
years until his retirement on December 31, 2014. He also taught
music appreciation and theory
at the Torrington branch of the
University of Connecticut from
1973 to 1987.
In 1970, Sly was among a group
that formed the Berkshire Hills
Music and Dance Association, a
concert-presenting organization.
He served as president from 1981
to 1997, when it ceased to function. He also served on the Board

A look back, a look ahead

Look at coins

e have officially begun the New Year; 2015 is now

but a distant memory. But thats not to say that the
events of last year werent memorable or important.
They were.
So much happened last year, from the sale of the Pine Plains
Free Library building to the passage of a measure increasing
the Millbrook Librarys public funding from $100,000 to
$184,000 annually.
There was the naming of Ray Castellani as the new superintendent for the North East (Webutuck) Central School District. Julie Roberts left her administrative position in the Pine
Plains Central School District to join Millbrook High School,
only to return to Seymour Smith in Pine Plains as principal
weeks later. Caroline Hernandez Pidala then joined the
Millbrook Central School District as high school principal,
replacing Roberts after her sudden departure.
Millbrook reporter Judith OHara Balfe joined The Millerton News staff while reporter Gabriel Napoleon left for a
career in marketing.
Merritt Bookstore in Millbrook was bought by a new
owner while The Pond in Ancramdale changed hands. North
Elm Furniture in Millerton opened its doors and Rileys
Furniture and Flooring celebrated 30 years in business.
Plans were revealed to convert the dilapidated Memorial
Hall in Pine Plains into a state-of-the-art performing arts
center for the entire region.
Silo Ridge Field Club in Amenia was granted final approvals
to continue with plans to convert the once-popular golf course
into a brand-new luxury residential development with an
updated golf course and much, much more.
Amenia was put on the map, meanwhile, with articles in
The New York Times about Silo Ridge and The Wassaic
Project arts festival. GQ magazine, meanwhile, named The
Lantern Inns pizza in Wassaic as the best in the nation.
All of the towns recognized the holidays from Veterans
Day to Christmas with observances and celebrations. There
were ceremonies, parades, tree lightings, visits with Santa and
even horse-drawn carriage rides for local residents to enjoy.
Our local schools excelled in the sports world. The Webutuck Warriors varsity field hockey team was named division
champs. The Warriors varsity boys baseball team made it to
Section 9 finals. The Pine Plains Bombers girls varsity basketball team made history with its first section title win ever. The
Bombers second-seeded varsity field hockey team defeated the
Warriors at the Section 9 finals. The Millbrook Blazers varsity
volleyball team was crowned Class C champions, though the
team lost its bid for the state title.
There was Spring for Sound, Fall for Art, ArtEast, The
Wassaic Project and more.
There were countless joys and some sorrows, good news
and bad. There were births and deaths, celebrations and
somber occasions. Through it all we lived and learned. Now
well take those lessons with us into 2016. As we look ahead to
a New Year bright with promise, its important to remember
we all have a responsibility to do our best every day; to treat
one another with respect and kindness; and to be open to new
opportunities. Happy New Year, Harlem Valley. Getting here
was no simple feat moving forward promises to be just as
challenging and, hopefully, even more rewarding.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Serving as justice for 12 years has been an honor
On Dec. 31, 2015, I completed
my third and last term as town
of North East justice. I would
like to take this opportunity to
thank the voters of the town of
North East and village of Millerton for allowing me to hold this
office for the past 12 years. It has
been an honor and privilege for
me.
I would also like to thank

Today, over 650 miles of border walls and barriers have been
constructed in all four southern
Border States: California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
The Sierra Club Borderlands
campaign has spoken up against
the substantial border wall construction, arguing that it has
had dire consequences for vast
expanses of pristine wild lands,
including wildlife refuges, wilderness areas and national forest lands, among other areas.
Additionally, several species of
wildlife have been observed and
photographed stranded by the
border wall, the group states,
suggesting that many threatened and endangered species
are suffering from border wall
development as well.
In their short films, Wild
Versus Wall and Too Many
Tracks, the Sierra Club describes how the significance of
the borderlands a vast and
ecologically distinct region with
a multitude of mountain ranges,
two of North Americas four
deserts and major river ecosystems has been ignored by
current U.S. border policy. The
borderlands provide important
habitat for rare and threatened
wildlife species, including many
federally-listed
threatened
and endangered species. But
in 2005, Congress passed the
REAL ID Act, which included
a provision that allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to

waive all local, state and federal
laws, including the Endangered
Species Act, deemed an impediment to building walls and
roads along U.S. borders. Border patrol has now built stadium-like lights, roads and towers
in sensitive, remote areas, the
Sierra Club says, and the roads
fragment and destroy habitat
while high voltage lighting affects nocturnal animals ability
to feed and migrate.
Border Patrols off-road
driving, tire dragging and ATV
use in designated roadless wilderness has left an immense
scar on the landscape, said Dan
Millis, borderlands program
coordinator for the Grand Canyon Chapter of the Sierra Club.
The Sierra Club continues
to raise awareness on borderland habitat degradation with
the hope that they can combat
further border wall development that may pose harm to
the environment and wildlife.
In a November 2015 trip to a
U.S-Mexico border wall in Bisbee, Arizona, Millis told Borderlands campaigners how the

made it a pleasure and easy task

working at the Town Hall.
In closing, I know that the
town of North East Court greatly appreciates the village of Millerton Police Department for
providing court security at all of
our sessions. This has become a

for why this wall is problematic Its important for wildlife,

used to live in the United States,
all the way up to the Grand

habitat has been established by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and it includes areas that
are bisected by these walls. And
thats really problematic if we
want to see a very majestic species like the jaguarwere going
to have to these problems like
this border wall seriously.
Millis also informed the
campaigners of several other ecological issues associated with border development,
including increased erosion,
flooding and soil degradation.
Were encouraging Border Patrol and Homeland Security to
keep this stuff in mind as they
move forward on projects, Millis said. They need to do things
in a way that is more sustainable.

A VIEW FROM
THE EDGE
Peter Riva
business.
Tim Cook, that leader of
the Apple Revolution and the
maker of the iPhone most people covet, is one of the leaders
of this anti-U.S. corporate tax
movement. On CBS 60 Minutes he asked, Why should
we have to pay 40 percent corporate tax on our profits made
overseas? I have an answer for
you, Tim, and all your crony
companies across America hiding profits overseas:
Not one product you make,
not one so-called invention
at Apple, is based on anything
Apple had created in the first
place. Did you invent the transistor? Did you invent the circuit board? Did you invent the
microchip? Did you invent solid-state memory chips? Did you
invent LCD screens? Did you invent flexi-glass? Or unbreakable
glass? Or extruded aluminum?
Or basic computer programming codes? Or the list here is
fairly endless. Nope, your company did not invent one single
cornerstone technology upon
which your whole business is
based. Yes, Tim, your company
reused and designed product
that used these components and
technologies in innovative ways,
but your company could not
make one single product not
the iPhone, not Apple computers, not the iWatch unless the
U.S. taxpayer had not paid for,
financed and allowed our government to invest our citizens
money in creating these inventions and technologies in the
first place.
The Internet? Paid for by the
science and military communities needs, funded by Congress
via DARPA. The transistor? Bell
Labs during World War II. The
circuit board? The military for
aircraft and NASA for Gemini/
Apollo. The microchip the
very essence of all your business, Tim? DARPA and NASA
for the moon flight program
and satellites. In fact, every single component of every product
you make there at Apple plastics, aluminum, glass, LED, electronics, all of these, Tim, were
originally funded and paid for
by the taxpayer.
So, when you lament the possible repatriation tax burden

on all your foreign profits and

refuse to pay that tax, what you
are saying is, To hell with the
American taxpayer who made
our entire business possible.
Well shortchange you. No payback!
As a taxpayer I have a simple response to Tims refusal to
pay back some of the billions
and billions of profit made from
the technology investment we
taxpayers financed that Apple
uses freely: I refuse to buy Apple
products until they realize that
they are, in fact, acting immorally and against the people of
the United States. And if I were
a member of Congress, I would
certainly understand the power
of Apple to lobby and avoid payback taxes. My response would
be really simple: No more free
trickle-down government technology, paid for by the taxpayer, without royalties. In fact, I
would make that a retroactive
law. Hey Tim, how about a royalty on every iPhone, lets say a
modest 5 percent on the retail
price going back five years?
Suddenly the corporate profit
tax doesnt look so bad, eh? Man
up, Tim. Apple has a debt to repay.
Peter Riva, a former resident of

he second Latin Phrase of

the Week for The Millerton News is E PLURIBUS
UNUM. Salve (pronounced Sahlway). Thats Latin for Hello!
Having recently read The
Life-changing Magic of Tidying
Up, by Marie Kondo, I have been
discarding stuff left and right. Ms.
Kondo suggests that every time
you find coins around the house,
repeat to yourself, Change goes
in my wallet! I always examine
coins in case there is something
unusual or exotic.
I am happy to look at coins, because they often have Latin mottoes; every American coin carries
the Latin motto E PLURIBUS
UNUM. This motto is an example of how a Latin phrase can have
several meanings, each of which
is perfect for the United States of
America. E pluribus unum is Latin
for out of many one.
The first interpretation we can
give is that the United States is one
nation made up of many states;
the Latin word order reflects the
importance of unity by placing the
word unum (one) at the end of the
phrase.
A second interpretation we
can give is that the United States
is one citizenry made up of people
from many origins; we are people
who believe in the ideas and documents of our founding, but we
come from many places to make
this republic.
The Latin prepositional phrase
e pluribus is formed from the
preposition e, meaning out, and
the adjective pluribus, a form of
the adjective plus meaning more,
many. We have many English
words containing the prefix e, also
spelled ex, such as erupt (burst
out) and exit (go out).
From the Latin adjective pluribus we get the English words plural (more than one) and plurality
(the greater number or part).
The Latin adjective unum
meaning one gives us many English words: uniform (one shape),
unify (to make one) and unanimous (of one mind).
Some think that this Latin
motto is rooted in a quotation
from the poet Vergil, in which the
poet is describing how the green
leaves in a salad are mixed with
the white of cheese to form one
whole out of the different ingredients. Others suggest that the motto arises from an illustration in a
newspaper dating from colonial
times in which individual flowers form one beautiful bouquet.
Whatever the origin, the idea is
worth remembering every time
you jingle some American coins
in your pocket.
You can get a preview of the
next Latin phrase on a U.S. $1
bill. Vale (pronounced Wahl-ay).
Thats Latin for good-bye.
P.S. Canada has ceased producing and using pennies for cash
transactions. Please get your excess pennies into circulation!

NORTH CANAAN Robert H. Hagadone Sr., 91, of Lower
Road died Dec. 18, 2015, at the VA
Stratton Medical Center in Albany, N.Y. He was the husband of
the late Mildred (Kilmer) Hagadone.
Robert was born Oct. 30, 1924,
in Hudson, N.Y., the son of the
late Agnes (Gannon) and George
Hagadone.
Robert worked as a maintenance man for the Berkshire
School. He had also been employed at the Becton Dickinson
Co. in North Canaan and at the
Ancram Paper Mill. He served in
World War II as a member of the
101st Airborne Division as a paratrooper.
Robert is survived by his chil-

dren, Gladys and her husband,

Roy, Terry and her husband, Al,
Donna, Bobby, Donny and his
longtime companion, Linda, Rick

In appreciation: James Habacker

The Habacker family would
like to thank HVRHS and the
varsity hockey team for hosting their alumni game at The
Hotchkiss School rink in honor
of James Habacker.
James passed away on July
27, 2015, at the age of 27. He
was captain of the 2006 varsity
team. He was a scholar athlete
throughout high school. He was
also captain of the football and
baseball teams.
It brought great joy, in this
time of deep sorrow, to see his

brother Jo (a four-year player)

and his brother Jon (captain in
2008) participate.
The number 3 was retired
in honor of Jimmy. We thank
The Hotchkiss School and the
mens league as well. James was
a mentor in hockey and nothing
short of a kindhearted soul to
all.
Rest in peace, Jimmy.
Love, Mom and Dad
Patricia Marie (Kelliher)

he holiday season is a time

for nostalgia. We watch
Its a Wonderful Life
and A Christmas Story, engage
in time-honored traditions, and
even sing songs about sleighs and
sleigh bells.
Honestly, when was the last
time you rode in a sleigh?
Ive eaten a roasted chestnut
(purchased on the streets of Chicago, so I dont know if there was
an open fire involved in the roasting process), but I havent gone for
a single sleigh ride in my whole

Donald Trumps campaign

some imagined time in the past
when things were better, simpler,
than they are now. But The Donald isnt the only one who evokes
this mythical past.

Democrats often wax poetic
about the strong middle class of
the era that followed World War
II, or about the social safety net
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt put in place before that.
And its true: America did ac-

OTHER WORDS
Jill Richardson
complish great things in the past.
But I fundamentally disagree that
our better days are behind us.
This notion of a lost Norman
Rockwell America is an illusion.
Its easy to buy into this trope
if youre an older white man, because perhaps those really were
your good old days. The postwar years in which America had
a strong middle class were the
days of a strong white middle
class.
If youre African American,
looking back to the 1950s means
looking back to the days of lynching, Jim Crow and legalized discrimination. How can that inspire
nostalgia?
In the South before the Civil Rights movement, it was open
season on African Americans,
with white terrorists lynching
whomever they chose with impunity. And to secure the white racist
vote for his New Deal programs,
FDR excluded farm workers and

domestic workers from basic

wage and work protections. Back
then, those segments of the labor
force were largely black.
There were problems in the
North too. Housing discrimination against blacks was federal
policy not just a simple, organic
process of white flight. Policies
like redlining systematically denied African Americans wealth,
which still harms their families
and communities today.
Nor was life peachy for women
in this time.
This was the era that spurred
the feminist Betty Friedan to
write about the problem that has
no name. She torpedoed the presumption that all American women ought to rejoice that their roles
as cooks, house cleaners and baby
machines were now made easier
with modern conveniences.
No doubt modern women
are grateful theyre no longer expected to greet their husbands
with a warm meal, a cocktail, and
a come-hither look when they
come home from a long day of
work.

Again sloganeering combined

with his anti-Muslim, anti-black
and anti-Mexican rhetoric
makes it apparent that he and his
followers dont see the ugly parts
of our nations past as problematic. But its wrong to whitewash
history.
Surely, America isnt perfect
today. We havent solved our
problems with racism (Donald
Trump is Exhibit A) and women
still earn less than men. Weve also
got the specters of mass shootings,
terrorism and the climate crisis to
boot.
Yet the answer to our troubles
isnt returning to an imagined,
better past. Its finding our way to
a more perfect future. As Bill Clinton said two decades ago, There
is nothing wrong with America
that cannot be cured by what is
right with America.

Finding the right medical practice for your family is a balancing act.
Nothing is more important than an ongoing relationship with a doctor
who knows your child except having access to a wide range of
expertise during a middle-of-the-night emergency.

The Childrens Medical Group gives you the best of both worlds.
Nine local offices offer comprehensive medical services from
birth through adolescence. Need a same-day appointment? Weve
got that. Responsive emergency intervention or superlative care for
chronic illness? Were all over that, too. Caring for kids isnt our business, its our life.
And we wouldnt have it any other way.

BOOKS: KITTY BENEDICT

What Was Mine

An Unsettling Tale, Honestly Told

elen Klein Ross, a

resident of Lakeville, has a new
book out this week: What
Was Mine. It is set in
vibrant scenes in New York
City, California, China and
the New Jersey suburbs, and
it is daring and remarkable.
She is not afraid of violating
(successfully) the standard
rule in fiction of maintaining a single, constant
voice. Instead she competently uses multiple voices
of several characters which
could confuse (even annoy)
a reader. In Rosss hands,
amazingly, neither occurs.
A nearly unbelievable
act sets the story in motion as the main character,
Lucy Wakefield, a creative
director in a New York ad
firm, kidnaps a baby girl
from a cart in an Ikea store.
Having tried and failed to
conceive a child, Lucys
story and the consequences
of her action, including the
wrenching consequences
for the childs mother, father
and the baby, Mia, are re-

markably credible in Rosss

telling. The reader is sucked
into the lives of a multitude
of characters, each voice
convincing and individual,
from Marilyn (Mias mother)
to Mia herself as a child and
young woman of 21,when
she confronts the truth of
Lucys astounding action.
See for yourself if Rosss
writing wont convince and
astonish you. Her sense of
place, the description of
character, the emotional
power of the story and the
questions she raises about
truth telling, the consequences of an impulsive act,
are impressive, to say the
least. Rather unsettling, to
be honest. A thoroughly entertaining read, What Was
Mine sets forth thoughts
of love, recrimination and
forgiveness.
Ross is a writer, poet
and former advertising
executive, whose work has
been published in The New
Yorker, The New York Times,
the Los Angeles Times and
The Iowa Review. She was

Binding Art to Social

Consciousness

ames Barron has pulled

a flower out of his
hat as the thematic
centerpiece of his winter
exhibition in Kent, CT. A solar-powered flower, actually.
Created by Berlin-based
artist Olafur Eliasson, who
usually makes enormous
installations such as 2008's
Waterfalls in New York
City, the Little Sun is a
bright yellow sunflower
with a solar-powered lamp

at its center. It provides

light to many people around
the world who live off any
power grid. Barron says
Little Sun is a shining example of how art and social
consciousness can go hand
in hand.
Barron's idea for the full
show was to gather artworks that deal with winter

MOVIE: LEON GRAHAM

The Big Short

A Hilarious, Appalling
Look At Finance

his film, The Big

Short, is a comedy that masks
a growing anger, one
you may share. Director
Adam McKay has transformed Michael Lewis's
bestseller, a dense book
about the 2008 economic
collapse and the people
who profited from it,
into a fast-paced film
like his movies with Will
Ferrell.
If you understand
complex financial instruments, or believe government policies precipitated the disaster, you may
not enjoy the movie. But
if, like most of us, you
don't know your collateralized debt obligations (C.D.O.) from your
credit-default swaps,
you'll bounce along with
this boisterous film and
laugh out loud, even as
you should grow angrier
by the minute.
Ten years ago, few
outside the big bank fortresses understood what
was going on inside:
mind-boggling chicanery
based on mortgage debt
instruments that combined good mortgages
with poor, even outright
worthless ones, sold as
investment packages.
Understand? Not to
worry. Margot Robbie,
from The Wolf of Wall
Street, in a bubble bath
with a glass of champagne explains subprime
mortgages for us, then
waves us away with a
four-letter word.
Then there is celebrity chef/writer Anthony
Bourdain using a threeday-old fish soup as a
metaphor for a financial
deal. And perhaps best,
Selena Gomez at a blackjack table showing how
a synthetic C.D.O. works.
So is McKay aiming to
educate us? Absolutely
not. He is, however, out
to play with the chaos
surrounding the buildup
to the financial crisis.
He spins various story
lines like a boy playing
with a top, and the film
moves are so fast-paced,
so boisterous, so exuberant in exposing gullibility and greed that you
laugh at the farce while
anticipating the disaster

to come.
The film centers
around Michael Burry
(Christian Bale, edgy,
terrific) whose medical
education allows him to
be called Dr. Burry. But
he is no longer in a caring, healing profession:
he runs Scion Capital, an
investment fund. Smart,
socially inept, devoted to
new age living Burry
walks barefoot around
his office with drums
and loud music he detects through laborious
reviews of data that the
housing market is built
on mortgage quicksand
and will soon sink.
So Burry decides to
bet against the market
it's legal, if not moral,
to make money off the
suffering of others
and soon has intrigued
Jared Vennett (Ryan
Gosling, playing a lounge
lizard who happens to
grift on Wall Street) and
Mark Baum (Steve Carell
in one of his best serious
performances) into placing the same bets. As
the film gallops toward
the ultimate calamity,
we join the main characters in wondering why
the collapse is taking so
long.
It would spoil the fun
and the underlying anger
of the film to reveal more
of the multiple story
lines. Suffice that the
breakneck humor, the
large and superb cast,
the consummate brio of
the film leave us rooting
for Burry and Baum and
even slimy Vennett, only
recovering our anger
when McKay slams us
with some preachy editorializing in onscreen
print at the end. But
then during the holidays
I heard a Wall Street type
explain that the whole
housing bubble was the
creation of the federal
government and President Clinton's edict to
expand American home
ownership, which caused
the banks to give loans
to unqualified people. So
I'll just be angry along
with McKay.
The Big Short is playing in area theaters. It is
rated R.

sun's lowest point of the
year or light or even use
recycled materials. While
some works in the show
meet that criterion, many
do not. But no matter. Most
are very fine on their own.
The most wintry work is
Lynn Davis's stunning gelatin silver print of a Greenland iceberg from 1988. The
angles of the huge floating
mass are like planes of pyramids, some in bright light,
some in shadow. You may
wonder, as I did, if it is still
there in our era of ocean
warming.
Beverly Pepper, now 93
and based in Todi, Italy, is
a New York City-born artist
famous for her monumental
works made from a variety of materials and often
placed outdoors. She got
her first major steel sculpture commission through
the great sculptor David
Smith. The works in Barron's exhibits, however, are
clearly more Giacometti
than Smith. Made of wood

and steel, tall and slender,

they have a timelessness
that Barron compares to
Etruscan artifacts. Pepper
calls them messengers who
go between a sender and a
receiver. They are wonderful.
Cameron Martin's acrylic,
Fade and Promise, shows
bare, winter tree branches
against a pale background
striated in shades of white.
Jeanette Montgomery Barron's archival print, Blue
Mirrors #1, combines palest
multiple images of a mirror
against a light-to-darker
blue background.
Angela Dufresne's two
oils one of her mother
smoking and a self-portrait
of herself as Mildred Pierce
are moody, dreamy,
dripping with vibrant colors
running into each other.
Ralph Gibson's two silver
gelatin prints of female
nudes are gorgeously shadowy. And Calixte Dakpogan's Boy, 2008 is a challenging, bovine face made of
