GCCA TURNS 40! 1975-2015 Greene County Council on the Arts celebrates its 40th year as of September 2015! As GGCA Executive Director, Kay Stamer, claimed for the 30th Anniversary…we have come a long way, baby! Before our reminiscing begins, the Members on the Board of Directors and the Staff Members at Greene County Council on the Arts wish to thank all everyone for their ongoing support and have been involved in helping GCCA reach 40 years in promoting the arts and culture in Greene, Columbia and Schoharie Counties. Thank you. How did it all begin? 40 Years Ago . two men appeared on the doorsteps of Salisbury Manor, an historic 1730 stone manor house which had just been opened to the public as Salisbury Manor Antiques & Eccentricities. They introduced themselves to the proprietor, Kay Stamer, as Bill Cook, Greene County’s Economic Developer and Promotion Director, and Ed White, Coordinator for the Greene County Bi-Centennial Celebration. In the course of conversation over several visits they discovered that the proprietor’s background included careers in theatre and design. On a subsequent visit they asked if the proprietor would like to start an Arts Council. The response: “What’s an Arts Council?” was met with an explanation, not entirely clear at the time, that included elements of service and support for the arts and artists in all disciplines, fostering and nurturing the growth of the arts, etc. And for these government representa- tives a driving factor behind the need for an Arts Council cont. on page 16 SAVE THE DATE OCTOBER 3, 2015 Obstinate Bundle of Longing II, Margo Pelletier.

    The Wheeler Family of Rutland, Mass

    The Wheeler Family of Rutland, Mass. and Some of Their Ancestors By Daniel M. Wheeler Member American Society of Cn'il Engineen TO THE MEMORY OF MY ANCESTORS WHOSE NOBLE AND UPRIGHT-LIVES HAVE MADE RESPECTED THE NAME OF WHEELER AND WHOSE VIRTUES I WOULD TRANSMIT TO FUTURE GENERATIONS. THIS VOLUME IS REVERENTLY DEDICATED r I I WHEELER HOMESTEAD, RUTLAND, MASS. (From Top of \Vater \Vorks Tower) INTRODUCTORY How little we know concerning our ancestors, even of those who have immediately preceded us. :n the words of another, "Aye thus it is, one generation comes, Another goes and mingles with the dust. And thus we come and go and come and go Each for a little moment filling up Some little place-and thus we disappear In quick succession and it shall be so Till time in one vast perpetuity Be swallowed up." Most of us reach n1iddle life before we interest ourselves in matters pertaining to our ancestors and it is then too late to avail ourselves of the information that we might have acquired of our elders in our early life. Having been able during the past twenty-five years to devote some odd hours to the study .of his ancestors, the author deems it his duty as well as his privilege to put upon record the facts that he has learned and here­ with presents them with the hope that they may be of some service to posterity. Daniel Webster is reported to have said, "It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors those who do not look upon thems~lves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world." The author is not so foolish as to claim that there are no errors to be found in this volume but he trusts that if errors are found the finder will charitably consider how great and how difficult has been the task of in­ vestigation and compilation extending through many years and involving the searching of hundreds of records widely scattered.

    North Country Regional Economic Development Council Tourism Destination Area Nomination Workbook New York’s North Country Region North Country New York [TOURISM DESTINATION AREA NOMINATION WORKBOOK] Why is tourism important to the North Country? Tourism offers the most viable opportunity to diversity and ignite the North Country economy by capitalizing on existing demand to attract a wide variety of private investment that will transform communities. Tourism is already a $1 billion industry in the North Country and with its low upfront investment cost and quicker return on investment that many other industries, it is well- positioned to drive a new North Country economy as well as complement other strategic clusters of economic activity. Year-round tourism promotes a more sustainable, stable economy and more jobs; it’s the most likely growth industry for this region and will help recruit other types of investment. The region has a history of hospitality and several successful tourism hubs in place and exceptional four-season outdoor recreational opportunities are poised to leverage private investment in lodging, restaurant, attraction and other types of tourism related venues. Recognizing the transformative potential that tourism has in the North Country, the Regional Economic development Council is advancing the following strategies: Put tools in place to attract private investment in tourism which will drive demand to revitalize and diversity communities and create a climate that will allow entrepreneurs to flourish. Develop tourism infrastructure to transform the Region by driving community development and leveraging private investment in tourism destination area communities and corridors. The key to these strategies is that they recognize and focus attention on the need to attract and foster development in attractions, facilities and infrastructure conducive to attracting the 21st century traveling public.

    Annual Report 2011-12 Letter from Protect the Adirondacks

    Annual Report 2011-12 Letter from Protect the Adirondacks Board of Directors The Board of Protect the Adirondacks took bold actions in 2011-12 to assure our viability in protecting this most sacred part of New York State. Two main organization changes Charles Clusen occurred: veteran Park activist Peter Bauer was hired as the Executive Director and the Chair building housing the Center for the Forest Preserve in Niskayuna was transferred to Union College. Lorraine Duvall Dale Jeffers Peter Bauer brings many years of experience in Adirondack Park advocacy and managing Michael Wilson grassroots non-profit organizations. Peter said “I feel very privileged to get the opportunity Vice-Chairs to join PROTECT. We’re faced with terrific challenges around the Park, from monitoring decisions by regulatory agencies to advocating for new Wilderness areas to protecting the Kenneth Strike Forest Preserve from motorized uses to protecting Park forests from clearcutting. PRO- Secretary TECT brings strong principles and political savvy to these issues so I’m confident that we can help to improve things.” David Quinn Treasurer Peter Borrelli, who negotiated the agreements with Union College on behalf of the PRO- Nancy Bernstein TECT Board in his capacity as senior advisor, said “The goals of the Board of Directors Anya Bickford were to retire debt associated with the construction and operation of the building, find a new Peter Borrelli use for the building compatible with the purposes intended by Schaefer and the Association John Caffry for the Protection of the Adirondacks, and maintain the library in the Capital District. This Dean Cook transaction will fulfill all three.” John Douglas Mary Lou Doulin Protecting Adirondack waters continued to be one of our main concerns.
