A Man of Many Interests

BY RYAN CALLINAN
At 81 years old, curator
of the Colebrook Historical
Society and Colebrook
Municipal Town Historian,
Bob Grigg is keeping busy,
every day. His involvement
with Colebrook extends
beyond daunting Historical
Society projects such as
analyzing daily diary entries
from the turn of the 20th
century to helping at the
Senior Center and working
on renovations of historical
buildings and landmarks.
Grigg, has led a widely
varied, hugely successful
and productive life. From
attending school through
eighth grade at the
Colebrook Center School,
to high school at Lyndon
Institute in Vermont, Grigg
enlisted in the United States
Navy. During his four years
of service, he toured the
Pacific and participated
in the Korean War. Upon
leaving the Navy, he headed
off to Clark University, where
he studied geography, with

the intent of pursuing a
career in cartography, the
study and practice of making
maps, which is exactly what
he did, after graduating from
Clark.
Griggs cartographic
career brought him back
to Vermont, led him to
work for the United States
National Survey and finally
wound up with his retiring as
Information Editor for New
Jersey-based Hammond Inc.
Publishers.
He returned to Colebrook
to help his father and soon
became involved with
the Colebrook Historical
Society, where he is currently
curator, actively involved in
the projects that the society
undertakes. Through the
years, involvement from
community members has
fluctuated, but Grigg has
been the constant driving
force through thick and thin.
Projects have included the
Colebrook Historical Society (Open Memorial

Day to Columbus Day, Sat.-Sun., 2-4)

A Time for Good Causes

I think what sets it apart is how much people
really care about the town, and they get involved.
BY KAREN BARTOMIOLI
In Cornwall, planning
for retirement is often about
deciding what organizations
and other causes to fill
ones day. A survey of
seniors taken within the last
decade revealed no one was
interested in Bingo and a
hot lunch program. There
were, however, plenty who
said they could find time to
help out other seniors with
rides and such, when their
schedules allowed.
Count Ed Greene among
the retired who dont know
how to raise the footrest on
the recliner.
The senior partner in a
New York City law firm is
finding letting go of the work
world slow going, even as he
segues into more involvement
here. Its hard not to want (as
opposed to feeling obligated)
to be part of the vitality.
Cornwall may be small,
but its very vibrant. All of
the towns in the Northwest
Corner are so different. I

think what sets it apart is
how much people really care
about the town, and they get
involved.
He recently took on the
duties of president of the

is so busy, he said. They lose

emergency information

Town of Canaan www.canaanfallsvillage.org Canaan Falls Village
Knowing Everyone In Town, Eventually

We went
from being busy
to complete chaos.
BY PATRICK L. SULLIVAN
Denny Jacobs is a Falls
Village native. He took over
Jacobs Garage, the family
business, in 1990. There is
very little that happens in
town that he doesnt notice.
Although that doesnt
necessarily mean he knows
everybody, in town. I used
to know everybody, but there
are a lot of new people, he
said. It seems like it comes
in waves.
Eventually you know
everybody especially
when they bring in their cars
for repairs and servicing.
The business has
changed. We went from
being busy to complete
chaos, Jacobs said.
Part of that came as
the result of a strugggling
economy. After the financial
crisis in 2008, Jacobs
said his customers started
hanging on to their vehicles,

Denny Jacobs in his garage office
hoping to coax an extra

couple of years or another
50,000 miles from them. But
with modern engineering
and electronics, simple
repair jobs have become
more complex and timeconsuming.
There are no one-hour

jobs anymore, he said. It
takes five or six hours to do a
tuneup now. Or three hours
to get to the water pump.
The $150 job is now a
$1,050 job.
Jacobs says the town
hasnt changed that much

in his 58 years, and what
change has occurred is
positive. I think its a nicer
place to live than it was.
People are more communityminded. I think people are
kinder than before.

An Expert on Goshen
BY KAREN BARTOMIOLI
Two things everyone
knows about Goshen: The
annual agricultural fair that
has been held there for more
than a century and the traffic
rotary, the latter a rare sight
in this region.
Henrietta Horvay knows
as much as anyone about
both. She can speak with
authority and passion on
Goshens history and culture,
as well as things like land use
and economics.
In her more than 40
years living next to Tyler
Lake, she has served on just
about every town board

and commission, on the fair
committee and as an elected
selectman; the latter for more
than two decades. Shes
still on the fair committee,

and when not wintering in
Florida, she attends meetings

and keeps tabs on town

business.
As the town historian and
president of the historical
society, she spends a lot of
time clipping news articles
about Goshen and its people.
Her husband, Walter, also
as busy as can be, enters
them into an archive at the
historical societys web page.
She says she is now truly
retired and has scaled back
because she is out of town for
five months each year. Then
she mentions she is also on
the library board, is a justice
of the peace and a town
constable.
Upon returning in
April, she initiated plans to
celebrate the towns 275th
anniversary; probably just a
picnic with a few hundred
people. She is the only
surviving member of the
committee that organized the
250th commemoration.
Horvay can remember
when there were only about
850 residents in Goshen and
everybody knew everybody.
Now, there are about
3,000, but it still looks the
same. All the development
was around Woodridge Lake.

Youll never see it if youre
going down [Route] 63 or 4.
She has never been one
to shy away from working
on the good stuff or pointing
out the bad. Its what being
a responsible citizen is all
about, she said.
She remembers attempting
to go for a drive with her
husband around Woodridge
Lake to see the new homes.
They were turned away
at a gatehouse, back when
the developer of the large
subdivision tried to turn it
into a gated community.
But Horvay knew the
roads were owned by the
town and took the matter to
the selectmen to be resolved.
Each Labor Day weekend,
tens of thousands of people
flock to town for the famed
Goshen Agricultural Fair.
Horvay can be found in the
Antique Barn.
Those who muddle their
way through the traffic rotary
to get there probably have no
idea of its tortured history.
The state has tried to make
improvements over the years,
she said. But the rotary will
remain. It slows drivers
down, and the benefits of that

Finding a Home in Kent

BY SAM RATHBUN
This Northwest Corner town has
a certain charm that has attracted
people to the area for many years.
From celebrities using it as an escape
from the public spotlight, to families
who have called the area home for
generations, the rolling hills and
majestic mountain views have become
home.
Rob Ober, history teacher and
the girls varsity tennis coach at Kent
School is one of those people. Unlike
some residents here, Ober never had
much of a connection to the area
during his childhood. Growing up
the son of a diplomat in the Foreign
Service, Ober lived mostly in the

Soviet Union and India, traveling
around Eastern Europe. During the
summers, his family would return to
the United States, living in Bethesda,
MD, so that Ober never lost touch
with American culture, something his
parents said was very important for
his development.
Attending mostly American
schools overseas during his
childhood, Ober was enrolled by
his parents in the Kent School
as a freshman. This proved to be
a difficult year, as he struggled
academically. That summer, while
living with his parents in Greece, he

decided not to return to Kent and,
instead, he enrolled in the American
International School in Greece for a
year, planning to return to Kent the
following year. However, Ober, an
avid tennis player growing up, heard
about the Bollettieri Tennis Academy

and sent away for information. That
fall, Ober enrolled at the instructional
academy where students split their

going to school. It was at
Bollettieris that Ober met
and became friends with
two players who would
later become the numberone players in professional
tennis, Jim Courier and
Andre Agassi.
Following graduation
from Bollettieris, Ober
enrolled at Rollins College
in Winter Park, FL, where
he played for four years and
served as president of his
fraternity along with holding
several other student
government positions.
After graduating from
Rollins, Ober took a job in
Washington, DC, working
for a congressman from
North Carolina. However,
he would soon realize in
the summer of 1991, that
politics was not for him,
and he began to look for
other opportunities. At this
point, Obers father had
retired from the Foreign
Service and had settled
down in Sharon, working
as a teacher at Kent School.
He informed his son of an

Local farm Is Rooted in Community

BY MATTHEW LAMSON
Bernadette Gresczyk has
enjoyed being a resident
and business owner in New
Hartford from day one.
When we started out
we were barely more than a
road-side vegetable stand,
recalls Gresczyk, co-owner
of Gresczyk Farms in New
Hartford. Person after
person stopped in, and
everyone welcomed us to
the neighborhood. It was the
nicest welcome to a town you
could get.
Gresczyk Farms moved to
New Hartford in 1984, and
for 30 years has provided
fresh, locally grown produce,
hydroponic vegetables, and
flowers at their store. The
farm is a family business,
owned and operated by
Bruce and Barbra Gresczyk
and their two sons, Bruce Jr.
and Henry.
Gresczyk Farms is also an
active part of the community,
in both New Hartford
and surrounding towns. It
supplies produce to several
local restaurants, including
Marinos Restaurant and
Backstage Restaurant in
Torrington, as well as the
Saybrook Fish House in
Canton and sells its produce
at several local farmers
markets during the summer
months.
Gresczyk Farms also does
its part to support other local
businesses, selling products
from Canton Creamery and
Meads Maple Syrup and
Better Baking by Beth in
their store. We strive to sell
as local as we can get says
Gresczyk. The farm also
runs a CSA (Community
Supported Agriculture)
program, selling fresh local
produce to subscribers for 20
weeks a year.
In addition to their
produce, the Gresczyks also
donate to a number of local
organizations, including the
CT Food Bank, the Winsted
Lions Club and the Womens
Club.
Gresczyk Farms is located
at 860 Turnpike in New
Hartford. It is open year
round, seven days a week.

Stewards of a Local Tradition

BY DARRYL GANGLOFF
As you step onto the
gorgeous porch of the
Mountain View Inn and walk
toward the front door, youll be
greeted by a plaque on the wall
that is inscribed with a Ralph
Waldo Emerson quote: The
ornament of a house is the
friends who frequent it.
Those words capture
the essence of owners and
innkeepers Dean and Jean
Marie Johnson. When you stay
in their inn which is also
their home youre more than
a guest. Youre a friend.
I consider it an honor
to host people, Dean said.
I come from the Midwest,
where hospitality is standard
procedure for almost
everyone.
That natural charm is what
brought the couple to Norfolk
10 years ago to purchase the
Mountain View Inn, which is a
short walk to Infinity Hall and
the Yale University Summer
Music Festival.
Dean began his career as a
college art instructor. He then
spent most of his life in the
textile field before deciding
that his love of history and
hospitality would be a good fit
for owning and operating an
inn.
My brother-in-law
introduced us to this
magnificent little village, Dean

said.
Dean is a member of the
Norfolk Artists and Friends
organization, and his paintings
adorn the walls of the inn. A
piece titled Victorian Rose
hangs in the parlor, and it was
Deans wedding gift to Jean
Marie 21 years ago.
Weve tapped our
strengths as a couple, said
Jean Marie. Dean is the
innkeeper. Its his vision. I
manage the practical details
behind the scenes.
Jean Marie also runs The
Gilded Peacock out of the
inn. Through this whimsical
vintage boutique, she is
the matchmaker between
beautiful things and other
people, including theater
groups.
The house was built by
Erastus Johnson (no relation)
in the 1890s, and was
purchased in 1951 by Felix
and Clara Klauer, who turned
it into the Mountain View Inn.
The Klauers created a
legacy in this town, Jean
Marie said. We feel that we
are humble stewards of that
tradition.
To honor the past, all
seven guest bedrooms are
named after someone who is
significant to the history of
Photo by Darryl Ganglo
Jean Marie and Dean Johnson, extending hospitality
the house. There are rooms

for Felix and Clara, as well as
Erastus and his wife, Jenny.
Another is titled Wildwood,
which was the name of the
house when it was first built.
The remaining two rooms
are named after Adriance, a
minister who lived there prior
to 1951, and Mrs. Mead, a
widow who lived with the
Klauers.
The inn also has a twobedroom guest house, which
Dean said was originally a
carriage house for horses.
The Johnsons kept most of
the inns original architecture,
but they restored the porches
and added a courtyard, which
features a wall made of stones
that were part of a terrace on
Yale Summer School of Music and Art

Representatives in
the property.
We put a lot of love into
this house, and were honoring
the story by contributing a
chapter, Jean Marie said.
That chapter may soon
be coming to a close. The
Johnsons have the house on
the market because they feel
it is time to pass the baton to
another caretaker.
We will always feel a special
fondness for the way people in
this community have accepted
us and warmly embraced us,
Dean said. Wherever we end
up after this, we will always
think fondly of this period of
our lives.

Troop B in North Canaan
decades ago. His recollections of the issues take one
back; to last week.
Now a resident of Geer
Village here, Ringklib has
not retired from keeping an
eye on things. He spends
most of his day in the retirement community lobby,
reading or strolling, nodding
but doing little talking. He
takes it all in.
Forty or 50 years ago, he
was patrolling the Northwest
Corner, spending the first
16 of his 31-year career at
Troop B in North Canaan.
Coming from his small
hometown of New Hartford
still did not compare with
the rural nature here.
Canaan was what we
called way up in the north

woods. You fell out the side
door in New York and out
the back door in Massachusetts.
He remembers well the
big issues back then were
concerns by parents over
safety for their children who
walked to school, especially
with two state highways
running in both directions
through town, activities to
keep teenagers out of trouble
and the lack of local police
departments.
There was even talk of
closing Troop B. But the
troopers were against it. We
had to have a base of operations. We couldnt work out
of our cars like they do now.
Still its important to have
the barracks there.
It all sounds so familiar.

A dam at the Beckley Furnace site in North Canaan

to work with families he knew well.

Here, he was able to pioneer his
favorite part of the job; a work/study
program that kept teenagers out of jail
(that was before Connecticut Junior
Republic) and in school.
He ran an Alternative Incarceration
Center on Water Street in Torrington.
The program is still in existence in the
city and around the state.
Back then, the only jail was in
Litchfield. It did not have a good
reputation. The kids would only learn
more bad habits. Once they were sentenced, I let them spend a few days in
jail, then took them out. I drove them
around in a van to work. Towns were
happy to have them come and pick up
garbage on their streets and things like
that. Some were still in high school,

and I made sure they got to classes.
They were all picked up by their parents at the ends of the day.
He helped organize evening programs to talk to children about drugs
(that was before D.A.R.E.).
Recent controversy over state police dispatch consolidation also raises
concerns that are not new.
We always had communication
problems. Radios dont work well in a
lot of places. Having backup close by
is important, and I think closing any
of the troops would be a mistake. Not
much has changed, but in our day, at
least we could say we had cars and not
horses.
Note: Troop B dates back to 1912,
when its primary purpose was to catch
moonshiners crossing the state line.

Farming As a Life
Allen calls himself a 21st-century feudal farmer.
BY PATRICK L. SULLIVAN
Robin and Allen
Cockerline came to the
Northwest Corner in 1978,
and to Salisbury eight years
ago.
Their Whippoorwill
Farm on Salmon Kill Road
provides grass-fed beef to
the masses at least that
subset of the masses that is
increasingly choosy about
what it eats.
Robin Cockerline said
the farms customers come
from near and far, with the
emphasis on far.
Some of our best
customers drive an hour,
she said while fiddling with
some empty egg cartons.
Of course, we may think of
them as our best customers
because they buy so much
when they come.
She said that the process
of convincing locals to buy
their products is slow. Part

of that is the extra trip down
Salmon Kill Road. It takes
a long time to change habits,
I realize that. And part of it
boils down to pocketbook
issues. She has one customer
from a neighboring town who
comes in once a week to buy
one package of hamburger.
I respect that completely,
she said.
This year Whippoorwill
is collaborating with Chubby
Bunny Farm in Falls Village.
Chubby Bunny clients can
pick up their produce at
Whippoorwill. That way we
can offer people good food a
little closer, she said.
The Cockerlines lease
their land from property
owners who wish to keep the
land in active agricultural use.
They dont actually pay rent.
A lot of people dont realize

that, said Robin Cockerline.

At that point the 21st

Communication Is Key for Brent Colley

BY SAM RATHBUN
Being first selectman
of Sharon is not the
most glamorous job in
the world. There are no
photo opportunities with
celebrities or professional
athletes; there are no
important dinners or events
to attend; and its not a job
that allows one to retire
early. Its a job that has been
held, mostly, by longtime
residents, who, having
retired, find time to give
back to a community they
have cared about for so many
years.
At least that was the case
until Brent Colley came
along.
Born in Redding, CT,
Colley grew up out of
doors. Whether it was
sports, playing on the land
nearby his family owned,
or being a part of the Boys
Club, Colley spent his
entire childhood outside.
He also gave back a lot to
his community, spending
most of his weekends and
free time cleaning up town
fields, volunteering at paper
drives and undertaking other
public service projects.
Colley attended
UCONN where he played

club lacrosse. Following
graduation, Colley worked in
integrated security systems
and information technology
(IT) for Cannondale.
However, history was his
passion, and it was through
this passion that Colley
discovered Sharon, through
work he was doing with
the town historical society
just for the fun of it. Colley
fell in love with the town,
seeing a lot of the small-town
features Sharon shared with
Redding. The country life
and the sense of community
made Colley feel right at
home, so he and his wife
decided to move to Sharon.
After settling in town,
Colley decided to run for
a seat on the towns board
of education. After First
Selectman Bob Loucks
announced he was not
running for re-election, Colley
stepped in, and he won.
Several months into the
job Colley says he really
enjoys the people and the
sense of community in the
town. After being elected,
Colley was approached by
a woman who admitted to

John Dwan Believes in Community

I always feel an obligation
to stay open [during emergencies].
BY SHAW ISRAEL IZIKSON
John Dwan, owner of The
Winsted Super Saver on
Main St., is in his 33rd year
of doing business in Winsted.
Dwan grew up in
Litchfield and purchased the
store in August 1981 with his
best friend Michael Luzi.
We were looking to buy
a store and we purchased it
from the Mencuccini family,
Dwan said. They owned five
stores in the area, and they
were all selling them one by
one. We got in contact with
them to purchase this store.
Dwan said Luzi went on to
purchase a different store and
in 1998 Dwan became the
sole owner of Super Saver.
We have about 500
to 800 customers a day,
depending on the season,
Dwan said. I love Winsted,
and, even though I was
not born here, I feel that I

am very much part of the
community.
We are primarily a meat
and deli store and that is
the main difference between
us and our competitors,
he said. We are constantly
adding new items to our
store.
Dwan said the store always
stays open during emergency
weather situations.
In the past, it has stayed
open during snowstorms,
hurricanes and extended
power outages.
We always try to stay
open during emergency
events, Dwan said. Because
we are in a downtown area
you always have emergency
services personnel and
residents who may need
food. I always feel an

Changing With the Town and the Times

BY MARSDEN EPWORTH
Apollo Astronauts Blue
Marble, the 1972 shot of
Earth from 28,000 miles
in space astonished us; so
did images of the terrorist
killings of Israeli athletes
at the Munich Olympics.
Nothing important happened
by 1972 that photographs
did not capture. Events, both
wondrous and ghastly, were
defined by the images of them.
That was the year Steve
Carlotta, disappointed in the
competitive and sometimes
nasty aspects of academia,
quit his graduate studies in
anthropology and opened
the Snap Shop in Great
Barrington, MA, with his
nephew Tony Carlotto.
(Yes the names are spelled
differently and neither
one knows why.) And for
decades since, thats the
place tri-state customers
have gone for film, filters,
bags, lights, lenses, tripods,
albums, frames, meters, mats,
advice, small fixes all the
stuff that goes into making
photographs. The Snap
Shop also developed film.
Lots and lots of it. And it sold
cameras, of course. The best:
Hasselblads, Leicas, Nikons
(I bought my first there),
Canons.
Carlotta hired his nephew,
Tony, in part because some
family members urged the
recent high school graduate to

enter the army.
I didnt like the idea,
Carlotta told me. I didnt
want him to go to Vietnam.
So, on April Fools Day, 1972,
uncle and nephew opened
The Snap Shop on Railroad
Street.
That was a different
neighborhood 42 years ago,
Carlotta told me. The street,
now the spot for pricey gift
shops, kitchenwares, jewelry,
zany clothes and a couple
of toney restaurants, was in
1972 nasty, and barren,
with a pool hall, bars, auto
parts and plumbing suppliers
and a couple of taxi stands.
Women did not walk alone
up the hill, he recalled.
For the first two years
Steve never drew a pay
check. But in time the Snap
Shop took hold. There were
no Walmarts around to sell
cameras and develop film, and
the two men were skillful and
charming. They made it their
business to know all kinds of
photographers and keep up
with what they were doing.
And you could walk into the
shop with your balky Nikon
and Tony would whip out
his pencil and fix it with the
eraser. (When you asked how
that worked he just smiled
sweetly at you.)
The Snap Shop was
Tony Carlotto and Steve Carlotta at the Snap Shop
attracting people from New

York and Connecticut, and
Pittsfield in Massachusetts
with its 35,000 GE employees
turned out lots of customers.
But the world changed,
as it always does. Megamarts
appeared, selling cameras
and developing film. The
giant photography stores
in Manhattan could sell
equipment on line without
charging taxes to out-of-state
buyers and digital technology,
well, digital technology
changed the whole world.
It certainly changed the
Snap Shop. The two invested
in new and costly technology
that allowed customers to
develop their digital images
at the shop themselves, and
larger, costlier technology
allowing Steve to digitize and
develop customers slides (a
real breakthrough because

an imperfectly exposed
slide could not be salvaged
before digitizing came on the
scene) and film. The Snap
Shops extensive services
are listed on their Web site:
thesnapshop.biz and include
film processing, negative and
slide scanning, retouching
and restoration.
Also, Steve is working on
ways to wring a good print out
of a cell phone for 49 cents
and how to maintain his big
expensive Fuji digital minilabs
in tip top shape without
taking on pricey service
contracts.
The business has evolved
more in the last 10 years than
in the first 30, Steve says. And
thats good.
I enjoy getting up every
day.

Newest leader is longtime resident

BY GABRIEL NAPOLEON
Victoria Perotti first
moved to Amenia during
her sophomore year of
high school. Thats right,
Amenias town supervisor
is a Webutuck High School
graduate.
After some time in
Millerton, Perotti moved back
to Amenia, which she has
called home for the past 25
years.
A business and
management expert
by training (Dutchess
Community College, Marist)
and profession (she was
business manager at Sharon
and Kingston hospitals),
Perotti was encouraged to run
for town council in 2005.
So she did. And she won.
Next thing she knew, she
was deputy supervisor (first to
Wayne Euvrard, 10-11, then
to Bill Flood, 12-13).
But before getting into
government, Perottis real start
in community participation
was with the Amenia Public
Library, which she remains
involved with through the
Amenia Library Association.

I help at the book and
bake sale and any fundraisers
they have, she said.
In fact, rather than tying
her down, Perottis town
leadership has come with
an increased presence in
everyday Amenia, serving
on the board of directors at
Indian Rock Schoolhouse and
an organizer of Community
Day.
When I do have spare
time, I like to volunteer,
she said. I volunteer at my
church too.
Amenia is a very special
place, she added. The
people, the atmosphere, the
businesses, the attractiveness
of it. I Just cant imagine living
anywhere else.
And when shes not
leading, volunteering or
spending time with her
grandchildren, Perotti can
be found enjoying fellow
Amenians at all those pancake
breakfasts and big dinners at
the churches, firehouses and
so on.

Loving Books and Country Life

Millbrook is the greatest little town
in the world. I wouldnt live anywhere else.
BY CHRISTOPHER WILSON
I sat down recently with
Ann LeFarge at the Merritt
bookstore in Millbrook to talk
about her life.
LeFarges quick, nononsense manner points
to her Yankee background.
Though born in Portland,
Maine, she spent most of her
adult life in New York state
with many of those years in
Dutchess County.
After graduating from
Radcliffe, where she counted
novelist John Updike a friend,
LeFarge got a job in the mid
1950s on the Gary Moore TV
show as an editor.
Along the way, LeFarge
fell in love and married.
As her husband was in the
army, LeFarge found herself
living abroad for a couple of
years. Back to New York and
four children later LeFarge
returned to college, this
time, Columbia, and got her
masters degree in teaching,
after which she taught high
school English.
Then she landed a job at
E.P. Dutton in Manhattan in
their contracts department.
Sometime in the late70s

she was asked to assist with
the editing of A. Scott Bergs
Max Perkins: Editor of
Genius. Bergs work can be
found in the Mid Hudson
Library system by going to
midhudsonlibraries.org/
LeFarge remained at
Dutton for about five years.
Later she was at Ballantine,
then went back to teaching
at the Tutoring School of
New York (now known as
The Beekman School) in
Manhattan.
Although she lived in a
brownstone in the east 70s,
she dreamed of a little house
in the country. Sometime in
the early 80s, she started
looking around Millbrook.
LeFarge rode as a child
and was interested in fox
hunting. OnceLeFarge found
Millbrook, it wasnt too long
after that, to paraphrase
Virginia Woolf, that she not
only had a room of her own,
indeed she purchased a home
of her own and has been
enjoying Millbrook ever since.
Here she started writing

Ann LeFarge settling, at last, in Millbrook
book reviews for the

Millbrook Roundtable and
she was devastated when
the Taconic Press folded.
Now she has a column in
The Hudson Valley News
reviewing books. Lefarge says
she doesnt see the point in
writing negative reviews so
shell only publish reviews on
books shes enjoyed.
Among her favorite books
is George Santayanas The

to John Updike. I think the
Rabbit series is the closest
thing weve come to the great
American novel in the latter
half of the 20th century, she
says.
As for life in the country,
LeFarge says, Millbrook
is the greatest little town in
the world. I wouldnt live
anywhere else.

Much More Than a Superintendent

BY GABRIEL NAPOLEON
Martin D. Handler is
approaching his one year
anniversary as superintendent
of the Pine Plains Central
School District, July 1.
Originally from New York
city, and having worked in a
variety of towns and school
districts throughout New
York state, Handler is happy
to have found home in the
Pine Plains community.
Its an extremely friendly
place he said. Very, very
welcoming.
The people that Ive
met not only students and
parents but also community
members have really gone
out of their way to welcome
me to the community, to be
inviting and so forth. Its
really been quite nice in that
regard, he said.
When hes not wearing his
superintendent hat, Handler
can be found involved in many
other facets of the community,
such as with the Pine Plains
Rescue Squad, to which he
was appointed in March.
The work with the
ambulance corps, with the
rescue squad is very much
something that I enjoy doing,
and again that organizations

been very welcoming, he said.
Starting out as a fireman
while teaching in Norwich,
at the suggestion of a friend
Handler initiated a lifelong
passion, becoming a certified
EMT in Forestville in 1981
and assuming that role in the
communities hes worked in
since.
This passion has shown in
Pine Plains. Last October, the
superintendent introduced a
CPR training day at Stissing
Mountain Middle/High
School. In addition, he holds
CPR classes for school staff.
Handler is also a member
of the Pine Plains Lions Club
and the American Legion
Post 426.
Nearing that one year
mark, the superintendent is
already thinking of goals for
the next.
Job number one is
improving student academic
performance, he said.
And were going to do
that through curriculum
development, improving
the teaching methods and
also expanding the use of
technology to get the job

School Superintendent Martin Handler at work
done.
Handler said the focus
is to ready the communitys
youth for college, careers, the
military or wherever life takes
them.
As for ambitions outside
of schoolwork, Im just
enjoying myself meeting as
many people as I can.
And hes also enjoying the
scenery.
Its in a part of the state
that I like, he said. Its
rural, its agricultural, but its
also not so far away from the
metropolitan areas that its a

its kind of the best of all the

Its a great place to live,
to raise children, to enjoy
life, he said.
Handler lives within the
school district in nearby
Ancram with his wife, four
dogs, three cats and two
birds. Im into animals, I

To that effect, he also

Jordan Finds Place

BY WHITNEY JOSEPH
Anyone who has stopped by the
Millerton Village Hall probably knows
Amber Jordan. Shes worked for the
village since 2007, first as the deputy
clerk and then, in 2009, as the village
clerk.
Jordan is young, smart and helpful
and she knows exactly what it takes
to run the Village Hall smoothly and

successfully while making it look
deceptively simple.
I like it, she said. I like working in
a community that I grew up in and live
in. Its very rewarding. But I guess the

and Peace in Millerton

multiple moving parts that

people dont see are the most
surprising. I guess I didnt
know how many moving
parts there were.
That hasnt stopped the
mother of two from doing
all that a village clerk must
do while keeping a smile on
her face and a good head on
her shoulders. Not only does
Jordan remain on top of her
municipal obligations, she
exceeds them. For a number
of years shes taken on the
role of grant writer in the
village, obtaining more than
$100,000 worth of grants for
Millerton.
One was for Arbor Day,
then $5,000 went toward
a wood-chipper, another
$5,000 is going toward our
basketball court this year.
We just got $85,000 for a
Community Development
Block Grant for Main Street
sidewalks, she listed. Im
working diligently on more
grants, though Im not the
official grant writer. If a

grant is available and Jordan
figures its something she
can do, she gets an OK from
the village board. If its more
challenging than usual, they
review it first.
I think Ive done pretty
well.
Shes also done well
balancing work with family.
Jordans husband, Bryan, and
her two sons, Cooper, 4, and
Cole, 6, try to take advantage
of the many amenities the
village of Millerton and town
of North East have to offer.
I enjoy living here and
working here, she said. I
live on the outskirts of the
village and we ride bikes on
the Rail Trail often; we try to
go every weekend. The kids
love being here, especially
going to the little library
boxes at Veterans Park. We
do gardening at the house,
take the kids four-wheeling,
camping, to T-ball, fishing at
Rudd Pond living out this
way we get to enjoy nature.

Amber Jordan in the Village Hall
loves best about living in the

area, though, is the sense of
community.
Everybody knows
everybody, she said. And
if someone new comes in
people get to know each
other.
Another perk, she said,
is due largely to Mother
Nature.
Its a quiet, welcoming
community with beautiful
views. You can do outdoorsy

things in a quiet peaceful

area, she said wistfully.
Thats important to the
Jordan family family being
the key word. Because as
much as she loves her job,
Jordan said when the day is
done she has one thing on
her mind.
When shes not here at
Village Hall, shes with her
children. Most of my time
I like spending with them
they just grow up too fast.
