MAIN STREET MAGAZINE 3 editor’s note & content COMPLIMENTARY | JANUARY 2015 JANUARY 2015 STARTING THE NEW YEAR This beautiful fox peeks up from his OFF FRESH MAIN nap in Millbrook, NY just long enough streetMAGAZINE for a photo. Well, happy 2015 to you! I hope that Cover photo by 2014 brought you lots of joy, and that 2015 Lazlo Gyorsok will prove to be even more prosperous and joyous for each and every of you. Let’s kick some serious butt this year! Many view the start of the year as a “start over” or “refresh” button, a second chance and a clean slate. It doesn’t always quite work out like that (that’s just being a realist), but I will say that the attitude and mind-set is certainly admirable and it’s the fi rst step in the right direction. My personal belief is that every day, every hour, and every minute is an opportunity for greatness. Only you, can stop you. And just because it’s January fi rst doesn’t mean that that’s the only time that it can be done. Take your life by the horns, and attack it with fi erceness. But that’s only effective if you mean it. And if you stay the course. That is a recurring theme that you may have noticed which we keep discussing in the CONTENTS monthly Healthy Living columns: live the life that you want, and stick with it. 6 | BUILDING ON A TRADITION 29 | WHAT LIES BENEATH ian ingersoll, furniture maker But alas, this is not meant to be some 33 | THE HISTORY OF HILLSDALE New Year’s pep-talk, nor is it an inspiration- 9 | FRIENDLY FACES al speakers lecture.
