Crime Detectives: From Sherlock Holmes to CSI

Wednesday, September 17
5:30pm in the Reference Room

Did you know?

  • When Arthur Conan Doyle sat down to write A Study in Scarlet, there was already a real life Scottish detective whose memoirs were selling like hot cakes. He influenced not only Doyle but Poe and Wilkie Collins as well.
  • The father of modern criminology was a French criminal-turned master detective who inspired Victor Hugo and Balzac, among others. The prestigious Vidocq Society, founded in his name, is made up of world leaders in criminology.
  • Sherlock Holmes was ahead of his time in many forensic techniques, including the use of footprint and fingerprints, as well as the analysis of trace evidence.
  • The first recorded use of forensic entomology (study of insects) was in ancient China, in 1325!

Carole Bugge is back by popular demand! She will discuss this and more in the program Crime Detectives: From Sherlock Holmes to CSI. The program is for everyone - readers, writers, and the general audience.

Carole Bugge (CE Lawrence) has nine published novels, six novellas and a dozen or so short stories and poems. Winner of both the Euphoria Poetry Competition and the Eve of St. Agnes Poetry Award, she is a First Prize winner of the Chronogram Literary Fiction Prize, among many others. Her plays and musicals have been presented in New York City at several theatres and locally by Actors and Writers and the Byrdcliffe Theatre. Two Sherlock Holmes books among Bugge's work are The Haunting of Torre Abbey and The Star of India are in the library's collection. For more information, please see celawrence.com.

Local Photographer
Nate Hauspurg Exhibit


The Library is pleased to host a photographic exhibit by local photographer Nate Hauspurg. The show captures the beauty of landscapes, both local and beyond. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, Hauspurg was inspired by the natural beauty it has to offer, but has also ventured beyond, taking in landscapes from around the globe, from Germany to British Columbia. As a child, he was exposed to Ansel Adams, with photos hung throughout his house, and also had the good fortune to experiment with his mother's (an amateur photographer) film SRL's before the digital age took hold.

In college, at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he originally intended to be an engineer but switched to graphic design after one semester. "Here I had another avenue to use my photography background to my advantage," notes Hauspurg. Nate is currently work for a commercial photographer in Cottekill and continues with his own work in natural and landscape photography. Speaking about the technical aspects of his work, he notes, "I still hold to some of my film background using a 4x5 format camera as well as my digital Nikon D800." Nate made his public debut in July 2014 at the Marbletown Founders Day event. You are cordially invited to view the exhibit; the photographs are available for purchase.

Garret Hasbrouck Portrait


The Library has been awarded a 2014 Greater Hudson Heritage Network Conservation Treatment Grant for the restoration of a portrait of Garret Decker Hasbrouck, oil on canvas, painted by Francesco Anelli in 1840. Marie G. Bruno of Arte Artigianato Restauro, Inc. in Kingston, New York will do the conservation work. The painting, measuring 70 ¾" x 54 ½", is a companion piece to the portrait of Julia Lawrence Hasbrouck, Garret's wife, painted when the couple lived in New York City. Mrs. Hasbrouck's portrait underwent conservation treatment with funding from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network's 2012 grant.

"The portraits are key components of the Library's local history collection," noted Library Director Jody Ford. After moving to Stone Ridge from New York City, the Hasbrouck family lived in the 1798 stone house that now serves as the community library, donated by their daughter Julia Hasbrouck Dwight in 1909. In addition, the library owns 17 of Julia's diaries written between 1838 and 1879, in which she records daily life and family events. "It is so interesting to read about the family's travels to Stone Ridge to visit relatives, and to hear Julia's opinions about the Anelli portraits as the couple sat for them," she added. The diaries are published in a daily blog, "In My Pen and Power."

The grant was one of 24 awarded to agencies in 18 counties in New York State to assist with the conservation of paintings, textiles, sculpture, paper and decorative objects that demonstrate urgently needed conservation.

"As a small rural organization in Ulster County, we are grateful to benefit from this statewide program," said Robert Miraldi, President of the Library's Board of Trustees. "We are thrilled that both of these lovely paintings, an important part of the Library's history, will be fully restored. The charm of our building will be enhanced even more when this is done," he added.

Work on the portraits coincides with restoration work on the Library's historic buildings. The paintings were stored off site at Westlake Conservators in Skaneateles, New York (who did the work on Julia's portrait) for their safe keeping during the beginning stages of the construction work, and were returned to the Library, Julia post-treatment and Garret pre-treatment, in April 2014 when they were welcomed with a public reception.

The portraits are reported to be in overall stable condition. However, examination under fluorescent light revealed a number of damages that have occurred in the aging process, the most prominent of which, according to Conservator Marie Bruno, include traction cracks and "alligatoring" and oxidation (due to the use of bitumen, a dark paint made from coal tar). Treatment will include cleaning, correcting lined tears, including a one-inch gouge on Garret's chin, and correcting discolored varnish, using techniques that can be easily reversed. A final coat of synthetic resin varnish will be applied to provide protection from environmental pollutants. These methods reflect innovative techniques in the field of conservation that embrace a noninvasive approach.

"The portraits were unframed when we began to investigate the grant application process a few years ago," said Diane DeChillo, who worked on the project. "We don't have any information about frames in our documents. As we learned, through the grant application process, the importance of frames for their protection as well as their obvious aesthetic appeal, the Library Board purchased period reproductions and had the paintings framed by Catskill Art Supply, to complement the professional conservation work being undertaken."

Work on Garret Decker Hasbrouck's portrait will begin sometime in fall 2014 and will take approximately 10 to 12 weeks. Once the work is completed, the Library will host a program to share the conservation process with the public, using photographs that document the work.

TEA TIME BOOK GROUP

Wednesday, September 10
4pm in the Biography Room

The selection this month is
The Observations
by Jane Harris. An extraordinary historical novel about a peculiar friendship between the mistress of a Scottish estate and her irresistibly appealing housemaid in 1863 Scotland. In an attempt to escape her not-so-innocent past in Glasgow, Bessy Buckley, a wide-eyed and feisty young Irish girl takes a job as a maid in a big house outside Edinburgh working for the beautiful Arabella the missus. Bessy lacks the necessary scullery skills for her new position, but as she finds out, it is her ability to read and write that makes her such a desirable property. Join us in the Biography Room for lively Discussion and light refreshments.

HOLMES & CO.
Mystery Lovers Book Group

Wednesday, September 17
4pm in the Biography Room

The selection for this meeting is Standing in Another Man's Grave by Ian Rankin. John Rebus returns to investigate the disappearances of three women from the same road over ten years. He is back as a retired civilian, reviewing abandoned files. Necessary work, but it's not exactly scratching the itch he feels to be in the heart of the action. This meeting will be followed by Crime Detectives: From Sherlock Holmes to CSI with Carole Bugee. See above.

CLIO'S MUSE
A History Reading Club

Wednesday, October 1
7pm in the Biography Room

The next reading selection is Blindspot : by A Gentleman in Exile and a Lady in Disguise, a novel of the American Revolution co-written by two notable professors of American History, Jane Kamensky (Brandeis) and Jill Lepore (Harvard). It is a historical romance and murder mystery authentically situated in 18th century America. Set in boisterous Boston on the eve of the American Revolution, Scottish painter Stewart Jameson and his spirited apprentice, Fanny Easton, a fallen woman who has disguised herself as a boy, Francis Weston. When Boston's revolutionary leader, Samuel Bradstreet, dies suddenly on the day Jameson was to paint his portrait, Bradstreet's slaves are accused of murder. Jameson, Weston, and the brilliant doctor Ignatius Alexander set out to determine the truth. What they discover turns topsy-turvy everything you thought you knew about the Founding Fathers.

It is helpful to develop a contextual understanding of the era in which a story is being told. I'd recommend reading a general text of The American Revolutionary period before, or in tandem with, Blindspot. There is a section of "Further Readings" provided by the authors at the end of their novel. If you want a short general history, I would recommend Gordon Wood's The American Revolution: A History or, for a longer, more democratic interpretation, Gary Nash's The Unknown American Revolution: The Unruly Birth of Democracy and the Struggle to Create America.

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.
