FOUNDERS DAY CELEBRATION

Saturday, June 27 - 10am – 6pm
Bevier House, Route 209, Marbletown

The Third Annual Founders Day event continues the celebration of Marbletown's history and will feature a dazzling display of local art, history and locally produced wares that are hallmarks of the Rondout Valley. The event is free and open to the public, and will benefit in part the Stone Ridge Library.

A brief history:

The first settlers to reside in what is now the Town of Marbletown are believed to have come from nearby Hurley in roughly1669. Decommissioned British soldiers would build homesteads on the banks of the Rondout Creek, whose name derives from the Dutch word fort or redoubt that was erected near its mouth at the Hudson River in nearby Kingston. The rich soil on these banks would become an important breadbasket for the growing colonial city of New York and its environs, a short 100 mile float down the Hudson River. By 1703, the Town of Marbletown had received a land patent, granted by Queen Anne of England to Colonel Henry Beekman, Captain Thomas Garton and Captain Charles Broadhead on the 23rd of June of that year—which is the anniversary we now celebrate. The original document is on display as part of the permanent collection of the Ulster County Historical Society at the Bevier House. In 1704, a New York silversmith, Jacob Boelen (1657-1729), was commissioned to design and render the Town stamp, a replica of which is also on display at the Bevier House, on loan from the Town of Marbletown. The original stamp is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Boelen captured the essence of Marbletown of the period in a simple rendering of deer in the upper register of the seal, signifying the bounty of the nearby forests teeming with game. On the lower register of the seal the artist depicted sheaves of wheat, symbolizing the abundance resulting from the fertile soils that lined the Rondout Creek. With a telling motto, "Be Just/To Trust," which captured both the simplicity and poignancy of the area's Dutch cultural inheritance, the Town of Marbletown was born.

  • The Founders Day festivities include:
  • An Art Exhibit and Sale, curated by Sevan Melikyan, Director of the Wired Gallery in High Falls, featuring painting, sculpture and photography of more than 30 local artists
  • A morning and afternoon lecture by Town Historian Gail Many, sponsored by the Marbletown Historic Preservation Commission, giving a brief summary of the history of Marbletown
  • A photography exhibit by Jim Smith featuring select objects and artifacts from the Ulster County Historical Society's permanent collection at the Bevier House
  • The Rondout Valley Growers Association, selling local produce and providing a historical link to farming in the area that made the Valley the breadbasket for an emerging nation in the late 18th century
  • Award winning floral displays by Dianne Hart, a local floral designer
  • A Colonial Children's Craft Activity, sponsored by the Stone Ridge Library (planting herb seeds and making butter)

Trunks and Travel:
a 19th Century Journey

Sunday, June 28, 2pm
Marbletown Community Center

A lecture by Ms. Mary Jeanne Bialis, Sponsored by

The audience is part of the program in this lecture, which brings to life the customs, sights, and sounds of travel in late 19th century New York State. Exploring the preparations of a wealthy Victorian industrialist and his wife as they get ready to travel, participants learn about transportation modes, rules and etiquette of the road, proper attire, and the era's social expectations.

Trunks and satchels are packed and ready to go, filled with antique and vintage undergarments, clothing, shoes, and valuable accessories for a successful trip to anywhere in 1890. (There's no such thing as packing lightly for a wealthy Victorian.)

As the trip progresses joys and hardships become the main focus. The audience will experience, first-hand how life was different back then, by unpacking the trunks and other luggage and compa ring the needs and standards of Victorian era travel to today's travel customs.

The program also includes an exhibit of post-Civil War travel garments for men, women and children.

As director of Victorian Whispers, an educational program development agency, Mary Jeanne Bialas has made New York State history come alive for audiences of all ages. As a secondary English/Drama instructor for 34 years, she developed extensive living history programs, enriched by her background in costume design and love for antique clothing.

The Stone Ridge Library Foundation First Annual Recognition Dinner Honors Bill & Tildy Davenport

The Elm Rock Inn Bed & Breakfast was the site of a Recognition Dinner held on Friday, May 1 where friends and colleagues gathered to honor Bill and Tildy Davenport in recognition of their many years of support for the Stone Ridge Library, and for their efforts toward the restoration of the Library's historic buildings.The Library Foundation's President, Eileen McAdam, welcomed guests with a champagne toast, and Rob Miraldi, President of the Library's Board of Trustees, served as Master of Ceremonies, thanking attendees for their participation in the Restoration Campaign, now in its second and final phase.

Speakers for the evening included John Parete, Chairman of the Ulster County Legislature, who presented the Davenports with a plaque to commemorate their long service to the Stone Ridge Library and the community, and County Legislator Rich Parete who presented the couple with a local history book and commemorative certificate on behalf of Assemblyman Kevin Cahill. In his remarks, Parete, a childhood friend of the Davenports' sons, reminisced about Mr. and Mrs. Davenport's kindness and hospitality to him on sleepovers at their home, and recalled a fishing trip with the family where he made his first catch.

Shelley Wyant, Former Foundation President, wished Bill & Tildy well as she recalled the early days of working together when the daunting task of launching the capital campaign lay ahead of them.

Bill and Tildy spoke about early Library days. Bill recalled that as soon as he was old enough to hold a book he became involved with the Stone Ridge Library. The Library was open for only a few hours a week. His mother, Whitt, was the librarian from 1951 to 1964, and she firmly believed that although you might find like-minded people by joining a church, a political party or another specialized group, only the library could bring all of those people together.

The Davenports married in 1963 and frequented the Library with their three young sons for children's hour. Tildy, an elementary school teacher, worked the Library Fairs and was quickly recruited for the Library Board. In the 1980s she was President and chief negotiator with the Town of Marbletown, resulting in the Library's becoming a special district. In the 1990s Tildy co-founded the Friends of the Library. Over the years, she also volunteered with an extensive array of community organizations, including Benedictine Hospital.

Bill, meanwhile was working in the family's home heating business, and in 1974 became co-owner of Heritagenergy. For almost forty years, he served on the board at Benedictine Hospital and later the Benedictine Health Foundation, among other charitable and civic activities. When the Library faced physical collapse some years ago, he helped launch a fundraising drive that now seeks a cumulative $600,000 to restore the historic buildings. They are dedicated to preserving the Library for future generations.

The Davenports thanked everyone who attended their celebration dinner and acknowledged that, without their donations, the Library would not be so far along in the restoration effort. The Library Foundation extends thanks to the Elm Rock Inn Bed and Breakfast for hosting the event, to Green Cottage and Rebecca Kalin for beautiful floral arrangements, and to Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, Legislators John and Rich Parete for their kind words, and to all the attendees of the Recognition Dinner for their ongoing support of the Stone Ridge Library.

For more information about the project, its progress, and how to get involved, please see stoneridgelibrary.org/helpus.

Stone Ridge Library Awarded Legislative Grant

Thanks to Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, a Kingston Democrat, the Stone Ridge Library has received a $5,000 grant that has enabled it to replace its 20-year-old telephone system. The funding comes through a Special Legislative Project that was initiated by Assemblyman Cahill. The grant was used to replace an antiquated phone system—which often caused inconvenience for patrons and staff—and to fund publicity materials to advertise library programs.

Features of the new telephone system include voice mail and interoffice transferring ability, allowing us to provide better service to our patrons and other callers. A telephone directory is located on the back of this newsletter, in "Contact Us." All calls will come to the main number, 687-7023 and callers can type in their desired party's extension. A menu is also available that describes the various areas, e.g. Circulation Desk, Director, Children's Services, Adult Programming, and so on.

"We are very grateful to Assemblyman Cahill for funding for our new telephone system and the summer newsletter" said Library Director Jody Ford. "The Assemblyman has also been an ongoing supporter of the NYS Libraries Children's Reading Program."

TEA TIME BOOK GROUP

Wednesday, July 8
4pm in the Biography Room

Due to the Library Fair we will not be meeting in June. For our July meeting we will be reading Crow Lake by Mary Lawson. A gorgeous, slow-burning story set in the rural "badlands" of northern Ontario, where heartbreak and hardship are mirrored in the landscape. For the farming Pye family, life is a Greek tragedy where the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons, and terrible events occur–offstage.

HOLMES & CO.
Mystery Lovers Book Group

Wednesday, June 17
4pm in the Biography Room

The selection for this meeting is A Chill Rain in January by L.R. Wright. A small town on the Pacific coast of British Columbia provides the evocative backdrop for this work of striking clarity and forcefulness. After Zoe Strachan's ne'er-do-well, blackmailing brother "tumbles" down her basement steps to his death, she searches his house unsuccessfully for incriminating notebooks, and shelters his previously unknown adopted son. Zoe--aloof, beautiful, and truly bizarre--challenges all the resources of Mountie Karl Alberg, who only half-believes her story. Apparently effortless but finely crafted prose supports the narrowly focused plot, wonderful characters, and gorgeous descriptions.

CLIO'S MUSE
A History Reading Club

POSTPONED TO:
Wednesday, June 17
7pm in the Biography Room

The reading selection for this meeting is Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean: How a Generation of Swashbuckling Jews Carved an Empire in the New World in their Quest for Treasure, Religion, Freedom and Revenge (2009) by Edward Kritzler. At the end of the fifteenth century, in the aftermath of the Spanish Inquisition many Jews had to flee Spain and Portugal. The most adventurous among them took to the seas as freewheeling outlaws. In ships bearing names such as the Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther, and Shield of Abraham, they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding. Filled with high-sea adventures–including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates.

KNITTING GROUP

Every Saturday
10am-noon

The Stone Ridge Library Knitters meet every Saturday morning from 10am - 12noon. All ages and experience levels can join us and drop-in knitters are also welcome. We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you're likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you're going with a project. Some of us can help toward the repair of knitted or crocheted items too.

The group is sociable and lively, and our conversation and sharing is just as wide-ranging as our projects. We are especially interested in the UFOs (Un-Finished Objects) that members bring in and love the show and tell of projects under way and being finished, new or old, simple or complex. Though knitting is our love and mainstay, we graciously adapt ourselves to stray crocheters and those of us who simply must take to the hook when the spirit moves. We share articles, magazines and books on knitting. Donations of yarn to the Library get made up into items for sale at the Library Fair and during the winter holidays for the benefit of the Library. Some of us also knit things for local hospitals or for the U.S. troops.
