This episode features long-standing Professor of Economics Dr. Frank Howland on the eve of his retirement from the College, discussing his career path and tenure that lead him to revitalize the department, develop new courses of study, and foster a new major across his 37 years at Wabash (Episode 384).
Gem-Grandpa Bill's Developing Mnemonic example of -Short Story Incorporating Pegwords in Modal Order: The Greater Portland Crab CaperThe salty air of Portland, Maine, hung heavy as Detective Ray "The Hound" Howland, a grizzled dog with a nose for trouble, arrived at the scene. A giant ice sculpture, commissioned for the annual "Frozen Fest," had been mysteriously defaced, a single word etched into its crystalline surface: IONIAN.His partner, a nervous pig named Officer Percival, squealed, "It's the Modes Gang, Ray! They're hitting all the landmarks!"Howland sighed. The Modes Gang, a group of musically inclined vandals, was terrorizing the city. Their leader, known only as "The Lion," left cryptic clues at each site, each related to a different musical mode.Their second target was the Old Port district. A majestic lion statue, usually roaring defiance, was found serenely reclining, a tiny harp beside it. The word LYDIAN was painted on the base."They're getting bolder," Howland growled, surveying the scene. A trail of tiny footprints led away from the statue. "Looks like a mouse was here."The trail led them to the Portland Observatory, where they found an ape gazing sadly out at the harbor, a mournful ballad playing on a nearby antique radio. The word AEOLIAN was scrawled on the railing.Inside the observatory, a flickering lamp cast eerie shadows on a group of experimental musicians, playing dissonant music. The final word, LOCRIAN, was spray-painted on the wall.."This isn't just vandalism," Howland realized. "It's a musical message."Just then, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, a flamenco dancer. "Dorian," she purred, before her arrest.As the police led their suspect away, Howland finally understood the message. Each mode was a clue, leading to the gang's hidden concert hall, where they were about to unleash a sonic attack on the city.#MemoryPalace,#MusicalModes,#MagneticMemoryMethod,#PortlandMaine,#CrabCaper,#MnemonicFiction,#MusicMnemonics,#GrandpaBillPodcast,**************LISTEN TO THE MASTER OF THIS PROGRAM-Dr. Anthony Metivier!CLICK AT THE LINK BELOWhttps://www.magneticmemorymethod.com/pegword-method/?vgo_ee=%2FvBwlwra4sp74NsL%2FEWnl1mHDeiMEB3MkOnT4HSxyY5o8J2e1CI%3D%3AbzCrI4oaQpAfVKDXjmyvYDF%2B2EK%2BGlMWCreative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare

Met Chorus Artists will perform on May 4 A few photos on the Met Chorus Artists website show five singers and an accompanist performing at the Howland Cultural Center in 2018. On Sunday (May 4), the group will return with a pianist and narrator along with two tenors, three sopranos, a mezzo-soprano and a bass-baritone to present History of Opera: Up Close. There's a long tradition of classical chamber settings featuring vocalists, usually paired with a piano or small ensemble. The repertoire is known as lieder in Germany, melodie in France and art songs elsewhere, says Sara Heaton, a soprano who will be performing. But selling tickets for stripped-down vocal concerts can be a challenge, says Akiko Sasaki, music director at the Howland Chamber Music Circle. In 2017, Sasaki introduced a Classics for Kids series and eight years ago, Met Chorus Artists performed a show for the wee ones. On May 4, they will present a young person's concert in the afternoon that pulls examples from The Magic Flute to punctuate points. The 4 p.m. adult-oriented retrospective is being performed for the first time ever. Selections range from the Baroque era, represented by Claudio Monteverdi (born 1567) and George Friedrich Handel, to contemporary opera, including works by Igor Stravinsky and Kevin Puts (born 1972). Excerpts by the genre's one-name stars - Mozart, Verdi, Wagner and Puccini - will also air. Heaton and Sasaki's friendship spawned the 2018 visit from Met Chorus Artists, a nonprofit outreach for members of the Metropolitan Opera chorus. "We started it a few years ago with the goal of bringing the music to other spaces outside the opera house and to work on a smaller scale than the grand opera that we do at the Met," says Heaton. Sasaki also takes chamber music beyond the concert hall by programming pop-ups in libraries, art galleries and Beacon Music Factory (on May 3). But the Howland Cultural Center, with its renowned acoustics for unplugged instruments, is a special place to see such a performance, she says. "A program like this fits well in a chamber setting," she says. "It's exciting because opera is usually performed in a big house with 4,000 people in the audience. Here, the singing fills up the room and you can feel their vibrato." The narrator, Whitney Young, a composer and conductor who shatters the stereotype with sleeves, neck tattoos and attitude, inspired the format after several singers in the Met Chorus attended Young's lecture on the history of the string quartet at the Strand Bookstore in Manhattan. The lecture was augmented with a cellist, violist and two violinists who provided live examples on the spot, says Heaton, who lived in Beacon for seven years but moved in 2022 to Westchester to shorten her commute to Lincoln Center. Bringing an expansive ensemble from New York City that provides flexibility to mix and match presents a more varied performance than a soloist singing lieder and art songs. "This is such a great format," she says. "We worked hard putting together a taste of Opera 101." The Howland Cultural Center is located at 477 Main St. in Beacon. Opera for Kids will be performed at 1 p.m. on May 4. Tickets are $15 for adults and free for children. All ages are welcome, but it is recommended for ages 6 and older. The Met Chorus Artists concert is scheduled for 4 p.m. on May 4. Tickets are $35, or $10 for students ages 25 and younger. See howlandmusic.org/tickets for both shows.

Demand surges at libraries, but they are expensive A trip to the library used to mean driving into town, searching the shelves for the latest bestselling novel and taking the book to the circulation desk. These days, more residents are opening their smartphones or tablets, scrolling through digital shelves and tapping "borrow." Librarians in the Highlands report dramatic increases in apps like Libby and Hoopla that allow patrons to borrow e-books, audiobooks and digital magazines. "You can bring a piece of the library with you on the road," said Johanna Reinhardt, director of the Butterfield library in Cold Spring. Reinhardt said the library circulated nearly 20,000 e-books, audiobooks and other electronic material last year, compared to 2,200 in 2015. The demand is similar at the Howland library in Beacon and the Desmond-Fish library in Garrison. In January alone, nearly 80,000 e-books, audiobooks and other digital materials were circulated through the Mid-Hudson Library System to patrons using Libby. Ten years ago, it was 16,000. Librarians Scramble as Trump Targets Agency Gillian Murphy, director at the Howland, said that digital loans will soon be dominant. "We're still lending more print books, but it's going to flip in the next couple of years," she said. Dede Farabaugh, the director at Desmond-Fish, added: "We have patrons who never see us because they're just doing things electronically." The growth of digital lending brings financial challenges because libraries must purchase licenses that are sometimes more expensive than the physical copy. For example, a digital copy of a bestseller may cost $15 on Amazon, but libraries often must pay $50 or more and are limited in how many times it can be lent. With print books, libraries may pay $30 for a bestseller and lend it out until it falls apart. Last year, Butterfield reduced the e-books and other items that patrons can check out on the Hoopla platform from 10 to five per month because of a surge in usage that raised costs. Public libraries have lobbied for legislation to reduce e-book prices, but Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed a bill that would have compelled publishers to lower digital prices for libraries. She said the legislation would violate federal copyright laws that give publishers and authors the right to determine what to charge.
Institute sends $8 million annually to New York Local librarians are campaigning against a March 14 executive order issued by President Donald Trump that could cripple a New York agency that distributes state funds to local libraries. The Institute of Museum and Library Services in Washington, D.C., which has a $290 million budget, sends federal money to cultural institutions and state library associations, including $8 million annually that funds the New York Division of Library Development. The DLD is responsible for distributing state aid to public libraries - including $70 million annually to those outside New York City - through regional organizations like the Mid-Hudson Library System, whose 66 members include the Howland in Beacon, the Butterfield in Cold Spring and the Desmond-Fish in Garrison. The DLD also oversees $45 million in state funds distributed each year for library construction projects. The Mid-Hudson Library System, which is based in Poughkeepsie and has a $3.74 million budget, provides support services, programming grants and negotiates discounted group licenses from software, e-book and database providers. "The absence of DLD staff to facilitate aid programs that impact us is our largest, immediate concern," said Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, executive director of the Mid-Hudson system. "Severe delays in receiving our operating aid could deplete our reserve funds and compromise our ability to pay our bills." Along with shared resources, the Howland library expects to receive $8,200 in grants from MHLS in 2025; Desmond-Fish, $4,000; and Butterfield, $54,000 for an HVAC project. "We pushed to finish the project so as not to incur additional costs as we were told by contractors that prices were set to increase in April due to tariffs" implemented by Trump, said Joanna Reinhardt, the director at Butterfield. "This was prior to learning of the IMLS news; we may have held off had we known." There are 762 public libraries in New York. Gillian Murphy, the director at the Howland, feels that same sense or uncertainty. "Grant money may not come through or will come late because lack of staff," she said. "We have construction grants that we rely on and who knows what will happen to those." The IMLS, created by Congress in 1996, is one of seven small agencies named in Trump's executive order, titled Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy. It directs that the agencies be "eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law." The acting director of IMLS, Keith Sonderling, said on March 20 that he planned to "revitalize" the agency and "restore focus on patriotism, ensuring we preserve our country's core values, promote American exceptionalism and cultivate love of country in future generations." The federal money sent to states by IMLS should be funded through October, Smith Aldrich said, but 60 of the agency's 70 employees have been placed on administrative leave, which "calls into question if this is happening. The Grants to States Program may need to be reauthorized this fall by Congress," which is a focus of lobbying. IMLS also distributes grants to museums. The Greater Hudson Heritage Network received $269,038 in 2024 to conserve 35 objects at 10 museums, including Maj. John Andre's flute at Boscobel in Philipstown.

Our sermon series continues looking at Jesus' parable of the moneylender.
Artist league's Beacon exhibit guaranteed authentic The art world's AI problem stretches beyond the frame because the abuse of Photoshop is difficult to determine and software that mimics the act of painting is becoming more sophisticated. In November, The American Artists Professional League discovered that a piece in its 96th Grand National Exhibition in Manhattan consisted of too many pixels and not enough paint. In response, the League deployed detection software to ensure that none of the 85 small works on display at its Realism on the Hudson exhibit at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon is tainted by algorithms. The show, which includes pieces by artists in 28 states, represents a master class in composition and technique. The Howland partnership came about after Westchester County resident and League president Aki Kano displayed two watercolors at the Bannerman Island Gallery on Main Street in April 2023. She asked Laurie Clark of the gallery if the League could exhibit at the space. Clark, a Beacon mainstay, steered her to the larger cultural center. This is the League's third show in Beacon and the plan is to make it an annual event. The subjects include nudes, portraits, landscapes, still lifes, water scenes, nature studies and plenty of flowers. Some of the detail is hyper-realistic, such as the squirrel in Karla Mann's "Snack Time," hair curls in "Blue Fragment" by Gabrielle Tito and lace in Eileen Nistler's "Pretty Please." "Still Life with Aged Cheese," by Victor Mordasov, and Zhi Li's stunning table study, "Daisy Flower w Lemon," convey exquisite texture. In "Summer Lovers," Karen Israel's painting of two dogs frolicking in water, the fur looks wet. "Angel's Light" by Katherine Irish features excellent cloud work, as does the sunset in "Cuttyhunk's Tranquility," by Desiree Rose Zaslow. The standout drawing, "Which Way" by Jeff R. Edwards, depicts a meadow pathway leading to a forest. Other notable black-and-white images include Mike Denny's "Secrets" and "Lure of the Sea," by John Calabrese. In the vivid painting "Autumn Fire," Keith Willis plays with the reflection of a colorful grove of trees in a river, one of several pieces that renders water with skill. Other notable depictions include Jess Bell's shimmering "Luminate" and "Echoes of Rust and Tide," by Barbara Leger, one of seven award winners in the show. Jodie Klein's painting ". . . and the boat makes three" channels Winslow Homer. "Echoes of Rust and Tide" by Barbara Leger "Exeunt" by Anna Toberman "Homeless in Lisbon" by Don Taylor "Hummer at Feeder II" by Kelly Best Bourgeois "Sweet Rain" by Fang Sullivan "Teal" by Chantal Sulkow "That Tree" by Jessie Rasche The League, a New York City nonprofit founded in 1928, has 600 members and organizes six exhibits each year. Artists are vetted for quality and professionalism - and now, for digital assists. The kerfuffle in November led the organization to adopt a policy regarding the role of computers in the creation of art. "We sent hundreds of emails back and forth exploring the issue," Kano says. "This is not like using ChatGPT to help write a memo; a well-respected organization almost bought [the work]." To maintain the integrity of its exhibitions, the League only "accepts art made from scratch," says Kano. "We are sounding the alarm for galleries, museums and other institutions that this is going on. There's a need to value creativity done the old-fashioned way." The Howland Cultural Center, at 477 Main St. in Beacon, is open Saturdays and most Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. The exhibit continues through April 13. On March 22, from 1 to 3 p.m., Brian McClear will paint a large still life in oils.

Some people happy with life in pieces Tessie Monck designed her Cold Spring kitchen with jigsaw puzzles in mind. "This counter had to be one slab with no seams where I could do my puzzle," says Monck, a retiree who typically starts a 1,000-piece puzzle every Friday. "It's like my Friday night date. Opening a puzzle is like Christmas morning. I'm full of joy." Along with being fun, jigsaws provide "meditation and peace for my brain," says Monck, who started puzzling about 20 years ago, around the time her husband died and she was dealing with her own health issues. A recent jigsaw boom began during the pandemic, when some manufacturers saw their orders quadruple. "Jigsaw puzzles saved my business," says Fran Farnorotto, who owns The Gift Hut on Main Street in Cold Spring. "I didn't sell anything else, but I sold puzzles." During the shutdown, Farnorotto accepted orders online, then "drove around Philipstown and dropped them off on people's porches." She opened her shop 14 years ago with her late husband, Jim, after working in retail merchandising for JCPenney. Farnorotto stocks about 100 jigsaws, many featuring covers from The New Yorker. As a lifelong puzzler, she understands the joy. "There's something satisfying about that moment when you put the piece in place and you know it's the right piece," she says. In Beacon, about 40 people participated in the Howland Public Library's inaugural puzzle swap in January, says Michelle Rivas, the adult services and community engagement librarian. Rivas expects to have another later this year. The Desmond-Fish library in Garrison and the Butterfield library in Cold Spring also have held swaps. At the Howland event, Maria Hernandez grabbed a puzzle made by Bgraamiens (the name scrambles the letters from brain and games), a brand that specializes in puzzles with complex designs. This one had a kaleidoscope of colorful, swirling squares. The brand's puzzles are so difficult that the backs of the pieces are numbered, as a cheat code. Hernandez doesn't cheat. She has her own system for tough puzzles. "I have little bowls and put the same shapes together," she says. The Beacon resident fell in love with jigsaws growing up in Puerto Rico. She returned to them in recent years in part to deal with chronic depression. "It distracts me - I don't have to think," she says. As Hernandez has learned, there is evidence that puzzles provide mental health benefits such as improving mood, cognitive function, problem-solving, patience and relieving loneliness. At the Friendship Center for seniors in Beacon there is always a jigsaw in progress. Felicita Pinto, 76, is usually there, poring over the pieces with her one good eye. "It helps keep her mind clear," says her daughter and translator, Jenny Ayala. Her mom also does puzzles at home. "That way she's not just watching TV," she says. Pinto always tackles a puzzle on the annual trip to Puerto Rico at Christmas to visit family. Last year it was a picture of Snoopy. "Everybody in the family has to contribute," says Ayala. "You have to put in at least one piece. That's the rule." Fran Pergamo says her first jigsaw was a map of the U.S. that she put together repeatedly. That was 60 years ago, before she could read. As it happened, she had the map upside down; she still tends to imagine the U.S. with Florida in the northwest corner. At her Cold Spring home, she is working on a puzzle obtained from a "friend of a friend" she met at a dinner party. When they discovered a mutual love for jigsaws, they arranged a swap. "She opened her trunk, and I picked out a couple of ones I wanted." Pergamo prefers new jigsaws because secondhand puzzles sometimes have missing pieces. She always has a puzzle going and has 80 stacked on basement shelves. When she finishes a puzzle, she doesn't linger. "I smooth it out and look at it," she says. "Then I drag it apart so I can move on to the next one."

We're still feeling the love here at PreserveCast! Today we're talking with Trisha Tanner, Executive Director of the Alum Association at Mount Holyoke, about Esther Howland (Mount Holyoke class of 1847), known as the “mother of the American valentine.” At a time when most women didn't have the opportunity to be employed, let alone lead, Howland founded her card-making business and pioneered an entire industry.

What must we do to fortify our sons (and our daughters); to teach them not just how to survive but to thrive; to save their righteous minds, bodies and spirits? This week's show: RAISING BLACK BOYS IN TOUCH TIMES with our guests, MaryAnne Howland, author of "WARRIOR RISING: How Four Men Helped a Boy on His Journey to Manhood," and Raymond Winbush, PhD, author of "THE WARRIOR METHOD: A Parents' Guide to Rearing Healthy Black Boys."
While living in Brooklyn in the early 1990s, Neil Caplan saw a drawing of Bannerman's Castle on Pollepel Island - situated between Beacon and Cold Spring. Inspired, he set out to gain stewardship of it, shore up its historical features, create a system for public access and ultimately stage theater there. The result is the Bannerman Castle Trust: one part historic preservation, one part public park and one part arts organization. This spring Neil will be honored by the Howland Cultural Center at its annual gala. Current gallery exhibitions at the Howland and Bannerman's Island Gallery feature art and artifacts from the island. Learn more at Bannermancastletrust.org. Photo credit: Michael Isabell

Controversial things are happening on the campus of the University of Austin (UATX), the brand new anti-woke university designed to “dare” its students to “think”. Last week, we interviewed UATX's founding president, Pano Kanelos, who explained how he was trying to build what he called a 21st century “liberal university”. Today, in this KEEN ON America interview, we talk to Jacob Howland, UATX's founding Provost, on what should be taught at this university. For some, of course, Howland's focus on a 21st century anti-woke university education represents a new humanism; for others, it's the last gasps of a reactionary 20th century intellectual elite. In either case, UATX is a provocative pedagogical experiment which we, at KEEN ON America, will be following as the new university opens its doors to students this month.JACOB HOWLAND is Provost, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Dean of Intellectual Foundations at the University of Austin. Previously he was McFarlin Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Tulsa, where he taught from 1988 to 2020. He has published five books and roughly sixty scholarly articles and review essays on the thought of Plato, Aristotle, Xenophon, Kierkegaard, the Talmud, the Holocaust, ideological tyranny, and other subjects A past winner of the University of Tulsa Outstanding Teacher Award and the College of Arts and Sciences Excellence in Teaching Award, Howland has received grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Littauer Foundation, the Earhart Foundation, and the Koch Foundation, and has lectured in Israel, France, England, Romania, Brazil, Denmark, Norway, and at universities around the United States. His most recent book is Glaucon's Fate: History, Myth, and Character in Plato's Republic, Paul Dry Books, 2018. In addition, his articles have appeared in The New Criterion, Commentary, Newsweek, the Claremont Review of Books, the Jewish Review of Books, City Journal, Mosaic, Tablet, the New York Post, Unherd, Quillette, Forbes, and The Nation, among other venues. He has appeared in numerous podcasts including The Symbolic World, The Art of Manliness, and the podcast of City Journal and First Things.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Ever wondered how you can create an inclusive music community that stands against gatekeeping? Join us as we chat with Kris Howland from Heady Wax Fiends in the studio about his inspiring journey in forming a music appreciation group and record club that celebrates equality and accessibility. Kris opens up about the vibrant music and art scenes in cities like Portland and Denver, and shares the core values that drive Heady Wax Fiends. From treating all members equally to making the community welcoming for everyone, including those with disabilities, Kris's insights highlight the profound impact of fostering a supportive environment free from elitism. This club supports independent artists like Kendra Morris and Cutler Station by covering the costs of vinyl mastering and pressing, enabling these artists to distribute their music without the need for a major label. We delve into the importance of relationships and respect in the music industry, demonstrating how genuine connections can lead to unexpected opportunities and mutual growth and we get into the joy of discovering new music and the role of vinyl in sustaining the art form. Finally, we reflect on the emotional connections and transformative power of music, from life-changing encounters with bands like Phish to the emotional impact of iconic albums. We explore the immersive experience of listening to vinyl records and the innovative concept of OBIs and uncut hype stickers that enhance the vinyl experience. This chat is a celebration of some of our favorite music memories, and the profound influence of albums on contemporary artists, and underscores the importance of creating a safe and inclusive community for music lovers.
