Hidden Sword Martial Arts is a full service martial arts program taught in the Roanoke Recreation Center in Roanoke TX. We offer classes in "American" TKD/Karate for children and teens and our adult program focuses on Presas Arnis, which is a blended system comprised of Modern Arnis and Kombatan Arnis. We also offer instruction in Kobudo which is used as a bridge system between our advanced students in the American TKD program and students in the Presas Arnis program. Kobudo is the study of Okinawan based weapons such as sai, tonfa, bo (staff), kama (sickle), and nunchaku.
Our American TKD program uses the Chungi patterns of the International Tae Kwon Do Federation (ITF), although we are not affiliated with the ITF nor any governing body from Korea. In the advanced ranks the students learn drills and training concepts inspired by other arts such as the Filipino martial arts, Thai Boxing, JKD, and combatives where they relate to the self defense (not competition) side of the art.
Presas Arnis is a blended system combining the teachings of the late GM Remy Presas (Modern Arnis) and his younger brother the late GM Ernesto Presas (Kombatan Arnis) into one system. Modern Arnis is self defense system that modernized the classical Filipino Martia Arts (FMAs) and was also influenced by GM Remy's study of Small Circle Jujitsu; Modern Arnis focuses on single stick and empty hand with a smaller emphasis on double stick training. Kombatan teaches double stick, single stick, espada y daga (long and short weapons together or stick and knife) , knife, and empty hand.
Kobudo is the study of the weapons associated with Okinawa; i.e. sai, bo (staff), nunchaku (flail), tonfa (rice grinder handle), and kama (sickle). Once again we teach a blended system, meaning we teach a system that was inspired by selected kata from Okinawa and Japan as we were taught by our American instructors; although we claim no direct lineage or transmission back to Okinawa/Japan. We also adapt training drills and concepts from our background in the FMAs and translate them to these weapons as well.
Hidden Sword is a progressive school, which believes in cross training in multiple arts as well as with other schools and instructors in order to broaden our students training experience. The instructors at Hidden Sword have helped create local and state wide training groups such as the Metroplex Arnis Players Alliance (MAPA), and the Texas Modern Arnis Coalition (TMAC) in order to advance the FMAs and our skill in them. We also belong to and train with the AKATO (American Karate Tae Kwon Do organization). You can find Hidden Sword on Facebook, as well as MAPA and TMAC, and we are on You Tube as well.
I have two kids enrolled in the Hidden Sword Martial Arts program. The first has been training with Master Lynn for 5 years. He began as a 7 year old in the American TWD/ Karate Program. Two years ago he began training in the Modern Arnis Program as well. He has had not only excellent instruction from Master Lynn, but from his assistant instructors as well. Each instructor brings valuable insight. My son has also had the opportunity to train with some of the best Grand Masters in the country through the different seminars Master Lynn has made accessible to his students. It has been amazing to watch as he learns so many different concepts from the different martial arts programs and how they all fit together. The younger of my kids started his training a year ago, also at the age of 7. He was excited to finally start going to class as a student and his enthusiasm has not ebbed. I know he will continue to look forward to each class and thrive here just as his brother has.
My son and I take Arnis together at Hidden Sword. I've really enjoyed the increased focus and development from my son. I am especially appreciative at how well Mark works with my 11 yr old, showing patience. Another thing I really like is how the instructors bring diverse martial arts backgrounds into the instruction. Gives different perspectives.
I began training with Master Mark Lynn as a member of his HSMA Instructor Development Course in February, 2017. My training partner and I make a three hour drive from the Oklahoma City metro area at least once a month to train with Master Lynn and his Black Belt instructors.
Master Lynn's decades of training and teaching the Filipino Martial Arts are evident in every training session he conducts. I have some experience in other FMA's but had never worked with an instructor with such a comprehensive base of knowledge.
The Black Belt level instructors that he has promoted prove the quality of his teaching and training methodologies. Very well grounded conceptually and demonstrating a high level of technical expertise, they would be a credit to anyone's organization. All of the instructors are good at helping students grasp the "why", not just the "how-to" aspects of the art.
I am fortunate to be able to use Master Lynn's Presas Arnis curriculum as I launch my own program in central Oklahoma. A well thought out, considered, orderly progression that helps students make regular, measurable progress.
In summary, Master Mark Lynn is an excellent teacher who produces very good students. Don't miss the opportunity to train with him!

A Nation Divided, a President in Turmoil, and a Historic Campaign to Embrace Gratitude and Grace
Written by: Denise Kiernan
Narrated by: Denise Kiernan
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Last Castle and The Girls of Atomic City comes the fascinating story of America's national day of thanks and of the tenacious and inspiring Sarah Josepha Hale, a 19th-century woman who made establishing this holiday her life's mission - one brought to fruition by the wise support of Abraham Lincoln.
Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, Heydrich, Hess, Bormann - names synonymous with power and influence in the Third Reich. Perhaps less familiar are Carin, Emmy, Magda, Margarete, Lina, Ilse, and Gerda. These are the women behind the infamous men - complex individuals with distinctive personalities who were captivated by Hitler and whose everyday lives were governed by Nazi ideology. Throughout the rise and fall of Nazism these women loved and lost, raised families, and quarreled with their husbands and each other, all the while jostling for position with the Fuhrer himself.
The year was 1832, a cholera pandemic raged, and the French royal family was in exile, driven out by yet another revolution. From a drafty Scottish castle, the duchesse de Berry - the mother of the 11-year-old heir to the throne - hatched a plot to restore the Bourbon dynasty. For months, she commanded a guerilla army and evaded capture by disguising herself as a man. But soon she was betrayed by her trusted advisor, Simon Deutz, the son of France's Chief Rabbi.

Indian actual estate market is already going thru a phase of a slowdown. There are problems of high inventory, reduced sale, and rising belongings fees. As an end result, it's far crucial to find belongings which could give an excessive fee for cash to the home buyers.
While a homebuyer is looking for buying a property, the right place is the most important component an individual might choose to search for. The location ought to have all vital facilities and infrastructure that makes lifestyles clean. There must be various places of pursuits within 3 to the five-kilometer radius.

Robinhood Launches New Retirement Account Offering with 1% Match
FintechTime Stamp: January 12, 2023 3:12 PM
Robinhood announced that its Robinhood Retirement offering was now available to all eligible customers.
The company, which offered a waitlist for interested customers in December, said that more than one million people have signed up for the new investment service.
Robinhood will provide a 1% match for every eligible dollar customers contribute to their Robinhood Retirement plan.
Robinhood, which gained notoriety in recent years as a platform for traders of meme stocks like AMC and Gamestop, announced this week that it is making its Robinhood Retirement offering available to all eligible customers. Unveiled via waitlist in December, the new IRA product offers a 1% match for every eligible dollar contributed – the first and only individual retirement account to do so, according to Robinhood.
Baiju Bhatt, company co-founder and Chief Creative Officer said in a statement: "Systems are failing to catch up to the needs of how many people live and save (or don't) … We see an opportunity to be a part of the solution, to build products that adapt to the way work and savings will evolve, and ensure people have the tools to control their financial future – just like the way we started."
Robinhood claims that more than one million people have signed up for the new service via the company's waitlist. A significant number of these individuals, according to Robinhood, are freelancers and members of the so-called "gig economy," who often struggle to find solutions to help them prepare for retirement. Robinhood Retirement will enable customers to open multiple Robinhood brokerage accounts and earn a 1% match from Robinhood on eligible contribution dollars. Customers will be able to grow their earnings in tax-free or tax-deferred accounts, and can invest in both stocks and ETFs. The product's Portfolio Builder feature helps customers build their own investment portfolio, use a custom recommended portfolio, or a combination of both – all without having to pay a commission. Robinhood added that the company plans to authorize options trading in retirement accounts as well – also with no commission or per-contract fees.
"In 2023, Robinhood remains a company fundamentally focused on the unmet needs of the next generations," Bhatt noted in a blog post announcing the availability of Robinhood Retirement. "No matter how income is earned, we believe the impact of providing long term savings incentives are just as powerful today as they were for our parents' generation."
Founded in 2013 by Bhatt and Vlad Tenev, Robinhood offers commission-free trading of stocks, exchange-traded funds, and cryptocurrencies. With total assets of more than $19.7 billion and revenues of $1.8 billion – both as of 2021 – Robinhood boasts more than 22 million funded accounts and nearly 16 million monthly average users as of the spring of 2022. Robinhood is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ under the ticker HOOD. The firm has a market capitalization of $7.8 billion.

Q: Proving perfect graph has no odd cycles of length greater than three In my studies of graph theory I recently came across the following interesting question that got me stuck, but first a definition:

A perfect graph is a graph in which the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of the largest clique of that subgraph.

The question involved here is:

Let G be a finite and simple undirected graph which is perfect (all subgraphs of it are perfect) and we are asked to prove G contains no odd cycle of length greater than three

To be quite honest, I cannot seem to relate the lack of odd cycles to the graph being perfect, so I have no idea on this here and I would certainly appreciate help on this.

A: The key is that odd cycles of length greater than three are not perfect, with the following proof :
First, let's show that these cycles have a chromatic number of $3$.

Assume we have colors $c_1$ and $c_2$, and we have a cycle of nodes $n_1, \dots, n_{2n+1}$. We assign $c_1$ to $n_1$ without loss of generality, and necessarily $n_2$ has color $c_2$, and by immediate recursion all $n_{2k}$ are of color $c_2$, and all $n_{2k+1}$ are of color $c_1$.
Especially, $n_1$ and $n_{2n+1}$ have the same color, but are connected: contradiction.

Now, we deduce from it that they are not perfect.

In odd cycles of size greater than three the largest clique is of size $2$, but as seen before their chromatic number is $3$. So odd cycles of length greater than three are not perfect.
(Note that in a cycle of $3$ elements, the largest clique is of size $3$, hence the necessary lower bound on the size of the cycle.)

Having this said, let us suppose that the perfect graph $G$ contains an odd cycle $C$ of length greater than 3. Then $C$ is an induced subgraph of $G$ and as such, should be perfect. Contradiction.

Fine European Sculpture and Works of Art

HOME / For Sale
Northern Italy, probably Mantua
Portrait of a man, known as Gaius Marius
Bronze bust after the Antique
circa 1540 -60
Height: 47 cm / 18½ in
Provenance: De la Rochefoucauld and Estissac.1
Facture and Condition: This very finely crafted bust was cast by the lost wax method. Almost all of the detail is cast-in, and there is minimal after-working. The surface of the bronze retains traces of both dark brown- black lacquers and antico verde patination. This bust has even, thin walls and the method of facture is similar to that developed by Antico in Mantua in the late fifteenth century.2 As with Antico's figure of Spinario,3 a large, solid-cast, bronze spigot is cast-in to the bottom of the present bust. This spigot protrudes from the underside of the elaborate, strap-worked strut at the back of the bronze plinth on which the bust stands.4 The spigot would have located the bust on its original socle, which was probably of marble.
This fine all'antica Renaissance bronze bust is after the marble head known as Marius in the Museo Chiaramonti (inv. no. 1488), in the Vatican.5 Formerly described as a Republican portrait of the first century AD, the marble head in the Vatican has more recently been ascribed to the first century BC.6 Historically, the head was paired with another ancient marble known variously as Sulla or Cato. Both of these antique marble heads were designed to be fitted into busts of either multi-coloured marble or of (possibly gilded) bronze.
Both antique heads were purchased for the Museo Chiaramonti in 1824 from the Marchesi Origo,7 to whom they had passed by descent from the Roman Rondinini family in the eighteenth century (then described as busts).8
The provenance of the antique Marius and Sulla is confirmed by the Diario Napoletano di Cassiano dal Pozzo of 1639-1640, where they are described as being in the Rondinini collection.9 Their earlier history is slightly less certain, but heads of Marius and Sulla are recorded to have belonged to Bishop Gerolamo Garimberto in the second half of the sixteenth century.10 Garimberto (Parma, 1506-1575, Rome),11 a respected antiquarian, had an important collection of antiquities in his residence in the Gaddi Palace on Montecitorio, Rome.
In 1569 the Marius was amongst the ancient statuary from Garimberto's collection that Otto Truchsess offered for sale to Albrecht V, Duke of Bavaria, in Munich;12 this is the earliest known record of a bust of Marius. Several years later, in 1576, heads representing Marius and Sulla were again being offered to Albrecht V: "Etliche Ratsherrenköpfe sind auch darunter, als nämlich … Marii, Sillae, Fausti, so des Sillae Sohn".13 Many of these marbles, if not all of them, had belonged to Bishop Garimberto, who had died the previous year. Garimberto's two marble heads (teste di marmo) of Marius and one of Sulla were eventually sold by Orazio Muti to Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy. They are recorded in an inventory of 1583, still in Rome, pending shipment to Piedmont.14
Although Canova was said to have restored the head of Marius in the latter part of the eighteenth century, it has recently been established that the restoration was in fact carried out by the Swiss sculptor, Alexander Trippel (1744-1793), towards the end of the twenty years that he lived and worked in Rome.15 Trippel also carved a marble copy (with variations) of the Marius in 1789, which is now in the Nationalgalerie, Berlin. In his replica, Trippel resolved the truncation of Marius quite differently from the sculptor of our bronze. Trippel included a larger expanse of chest than in the antique in the Vatican, but considerably less than in the present bronze. The style and superb modelling of the present bronze bust, particularly the pointed, slightly upturned shoulders, recall the portrait bust of Andrea Mantegna in the chapel of San Giovanni Battista in Sant' Andrea, Mantua.16 Significantly, however, the eyes were left blank in the present bust, whereas the pupils of Mantegna's eyes were drilled, and, according to Amadei in the eighteenth century, were originally set with diamonds.17 Mantegna's hair is longer and is more finely worked than Marius' shorter locks. The truncation of the two busts is very similar, although the Mantegna is slightly narrower at the bottom to fit within the curve of the roundel. The attribution of the bust of Mantegna has been widely discussed: more recently Radcliffe convincingly argued that we should revert to Scardeone's statement of 1560 "that Mantegna had cast the bronze bust himself".18
The provenance of the Vatican marble, as outlined above, might seem to indicate that the present Renaissance bronze bust of Marius was cast in Rome. While it might therefore be tempting to attribute it to one of the della Porta family (Tommaso, Giovanni Battista or Guglielmo), who are known to have made bronze busts in Rome after the antique for the Farnese family,19 its style refutes this. Indeed, the facture of this bust would seem to indicate knowledge of the casting techniques developed in Mantua at the end of the fifteenth century, and the modelling coincides most closely with the bust of Mantegna. Plaster casts of antiquities are known to have existed in northern Italy by 1527 from the painting of Andrea Odoni by Lorenzo Lotti (Royal Collection, Hampton Court).20 The artist of the present bust may well have used such a plaster copy as his model.21
1. Acquired from a member of the de la Rochefoucauld family, which comprises the Duke of La Rochefoucauld and Estissac and many Counts of La Rochefoucauld. The present bronze cast of Marius may have entered the collection of the de la Rochefoucauld family in the 17th century, when the Duke de la Rochefoucauld married a descendant of the Gonzaga family. 'Gonzague' is still used as a Christian name for male members of the de la Rochefoucauld family.

3. Stone 1981, p. 103 fig. 20, illustrating a similar spigot cast-in to the underside of Antico's seated bronze statuette of Paris. Stone refers to a 'tang', an older word meaning 'spigot'.

Fittschen in Mitteilungen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, Römische Abteilung, vol., 98, 1991, pl. 84.3, illustrating a bust in Göttingen, Wallmoden Collection, with a similar but cruder strut at the back, which he dates early 18th century. Wengraf here observes that a similar strut appears on the back of the bust of Winckelmann by Louis Valadier of 1777/78 (Kassel, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Neue Galerie, see Von allen Seiten schön. Bronzen der Renaissance und des Barock, exh. cat., ed. V. Krahn, Berlin, Altes Museum, 31 October 1995 - 28 January 1996, pp. 628-629, no. 242). However, the neoclassical style, rendition and truncation of Valadier's Winckelmann follows Trippel's rendition of Marius (see nn. 7 & 15 below).

In his more recent discussion of these busts Maaz infers that the extent of Trippel's restoration of the Vatican Marius relegates it to the status of a restored marble predominantly of the 18th century, but in so doing he fails to observe that Trippel's signed bust of 1789 is fully neo-classical in style, whereas the antique bust in the Vatican is not.

Veterans, service members honored at Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony at Tesoro Viejo
fresnoDecember 8, 2021
Madera, CA (KFSN)-Local veterans and military personnel were honored at the Pearl Harbor Memorial Ceremony on Tuesday in Tesoro Viejo, Madera County.
The special ceremony on Tuesday coincided with the timing of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2,400 US military members and civilians, plunging the United States into World War II.
"It reminds us that the attack is notorious, but what we need to focus on is our response," said Madera County District Attorney Sally Moreno.
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the Tesoro Viejo Anniversary Ceremony thanked the "Greatest Generation" with salutes and taps on the rifle.
The families of survivors of Pearl Harbor were also presented with a special wreath from the daughters of the American Revolution.

Madera district lawyer Sally Moreno was the keynote speaker for the event
"There are so many days of those days that you know where you were when that happened," she said. Eighty years ago may seem old, but they are still in us. People who remembered what happened and saw America stand up, react, and get together. "
USS Arizona was destroyed that day and is now functioning as a resting place for lost lives.
"I didn't know what was going on," said Air Force veteran Bill Tokumoto.
Tokumoto was only seven years old when he witnessed an aerial battle between fighters while living on Oahu that morning.
A person currently living in Fresno states that this event motivated him to join the service when he was 18 and would retire as a major after spending 26 years in the Air Force.
"I didn't know anything because there was a war in Europe at the time. You don't really think about it until you hear the gun rattling as the planes fly," he said.
Mr. Tokumoto was awarded a special parliamentary certificate from the office of Representative Jim Costa for his dedication to the United States.

If you are not on the cloud, you are already falling behind.
Cloud technology has revolutionized the way small and medium-sized enterprises do business. It delivers technological benefits which were previously only accessible to larger enterprises by allowing your data and processing resources to be shared throughout your organization on demand. You have access to all your business data from anywhere where there is an internet connection making you more mobile, more responsive, better at collaborating, more secure and of course helping you to outperform the competition. And the cherry on the top is that our cloud-based solutions, working on the SaaS (Software as a Service) model, are actually a lot more economical than traditional models.
The security issues encountered in the early days of the cloud are no longer a cause for concern either. Our clients data is held in the impeccably run, state-of-the-art SAP Data Centers located within the European Union. Advanced physical and digital security guarantee the safety of your system and data. Regular audits executed by TUV, KPMG and SAP check the functioning of the whole center. The servers are as secure as it gets and so is your data.
Cloud computing means that you can bypass the substantial upfront costs of servers, databases, electricity, employing administrators meaning that the cost of implementing our systems is also dramatically reduced. You pay a monthly or quarterly subscription that includes everything you need. This model is also ideal for growing businesses with fluctuating bandwidth needs. It is easy to scale your cloud capacity both up and down according to your requirements meaning that you aren't paying extra for a service you don't need.
Choosing the best IT environment for a system to work quickly and be fully accessible is often costly and time-consuming. With SAP Cloud solutions you don't have to worry about any of that. The servers are located off-premise, out of sight and out of mind. SAP takes care of regular software and security updates saving you time, energy and expense and they also have the knowledge needed to run and maintain the system in the very best way possible. You won't need to find or pay any experts to deal with it and you will be freed up to concentrate on running your business.
Ideally all businesses would have robust disaster recovery methods in place, but finances and knowledge often make that difficult. A cloud based system offers you backup and recovery solutions without a large upfront investment. Lost and stolen laptops and other devices can be a huge pain for businesses but operating in the cloud means that not only can you recover your data easily but that you can even wipe sensitive data from the missing device remotely.
You don't have to build and run a power plant to get electricity in your office so why should you have to build and run a server farm? The answer is that you no longer have to.
Watch the video to see how SaaS (Software as a Service) can save your business time and money.

Let's Build a Better California Democratic Party.

Request Ballot
Working Class Values
Delaine is running for Chair of the California Democratic Party because she believes that together we can build a better Democratic Party.
She was born in San Diego to Hank and Dotty Eastin. Her father was a Navy machinist and her mother a dress sales clerk. Education and hard work were the values she was taught. "It was clear my father and mother made my education a priority when they moved our family to a smaller house that was in a better school district. As I have said for decades, budgets are statements of values, and my parents taught me that lesson throughout their lives. My parents put their children and our education first."
Eastin received her Bachelor's degree from UC Davis and her Masters in Political Science at UC Santa Barbara.
She taught at several community colleges, and then worked as an accounting manager and corporate planner while serving on the City Council in Union City until she was elected to the State Assembly in 1986. One of her proudest moments was the day they called to tell her there would be a Delaine Eastin Elementary school in Union City.
Proven Leadership
In the Assembly Delaine chaired the Education Committee and sponsored major legislation to reform California's education system. Eastin authored the first school bond that combined higher education and K-12 schools into one bond. These bonds helped pay for new schools at all education levels while fixing and modernizing older schools.
As chair of the Governmental Efficiency and Consumer Protection Committee, Eastin combined two agencies into one, the first time this had been done in over thirty years. She worked to provide better consumer protection from the misdeeds of unlicensed contractors. Eastin also carried the biggest landfill cleanup bill in the state's history, and won numerous awards for her innovative recycling legislation. She carried legislation to ensure that local transportation measures were not stalled for years at Caltrans and was awarded the Legislator of the Year Award by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the first Assemblymember and woman to ever win that award.
She ran for State Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1994 and overcame the Republican wave to become the first - and to date only - woman to serve in that position.
She served two terms, from 1995-2003, under two different Governors -- one Republican and one Democrat. "I can't say I always agreed with them, but I fought every day to give more kids a chance to succeed –- just like my parents gave me. I was proud that I was able to personally visit over 600 schools across all 58 counties." Eastin oversaw a staff of over 3,000 and a budget that incorporated over 40% of the state budget.
Eastin championed public libraries, wiring schools for technology, and stronger technical and vocational training for students. She worked to create statewide standards and systems to increase accountability. "I worked with Governor Pete Wilson to successfully reduce class sizes in every K-3 class in California, but I also joined the successful lawsuit against Prop 187 that would have seen us target immigrant students in our classrooms."
She took on the tobacco companies and helped pass Proposition 10, the measure that increased taxes on tobacco products, created First Five California and directed most of the revenue to early childhood development. When lawmakers worked with Governor Schwarzenegger to try and take this money to balance the state budget, Eastin said NO. Voters agreed with her.
Eastin fought for increased parental involvement, better teacher training and worked to create an overall safe and healthy school environment for every child regardless of race, gender or orientation. She commissioned the first State Department of Education LGBT Task Force to foster safer and more welcoming school environments for LGBT students at all grade levels. She sought to put gardens in schools and fought to improve nutrition in schools. Eastin led the fight to cut the outdated education code and streamline state bureaucracy. She fought for improved school safety, arts education, and career technical education. She wrote the Deaf Education Bill of Rights and was the first superintendent to speak at the graduation at the Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. She also served as a Regent of the University of California and a Trustee of the California State University system, fighting against higher tuition.
Join Delaine
After this past election, people reached out to Delaine and asked her to run to become the next Chair of the California Democratic Party. After a very positive response from the exploratory phase, Delaine decided to run, for the future of the party and for the future of California.
Delaine's plans for the party will reflect a culture of inclusive management, transparent decision making, and a vision that grows our party while bringing back those that feel disconnected from the party, and that it does not represent them. She will create a sense of a shared mission and a sense of teamwork, as she has done in her past leadership roles.
As Delaine says, "I commit to building a party where courage is fashionable, where vision is palpable and compassion and caring are expected. No more smoke filled, back room deals where no one knows what is happening -- decision making and direction will be transparent." It will be an environment where there is no pressure to vote one way or another due to threats; every vote will be earned.
"If I give you 28 pencils, one at a time, you can break every single one. If I give you 28 pencils all together, the strongest person cannot break them. If we organize and stand together we have the power to shape a magnificent future. Please think about it and join me on this campaign. Thank you."

Arm of the Sea Theater seeking to make a permanent home in Saugerties

An abandoned paper mill from the late 19th century that has been of late a waterfront canvas at Tina Chorvas Park for graffiti has been fenced off and slated as the future permanent home for the nomadic puppeteers of the Arm of the Sea Theater and an educational site for children. The site, which operated as a paper mill called Sheffield Mills circa 1880 with a legacy of coal ash and heavy metals, will be no easy feat to acclimate to its new purpose. Theater director Patrick Wadden and engineer Jolanda Jansen aired their ambitious plan for site clean up and later development at a recent village planning board meeting.
A sketch plan of the proposed Tidewater Center shows performance space for music, drama and the troupe's giant puppets. There will be a water playground, an aquatic classroom for river education, public access for tidewater fishing, staging areas for science projects and a kayak launch and way station for water travelers.
Wadden, the director of the Arm of the Sea Theater, said the project would be developed in phases. Engineer Jolanda Jansen said availability of funding would dictate the timing of the phases, with completion of the cleanup of the property — much has been done already — and construction of a canvas building comprising phase 1.
Susan Murphy, the president of the Cantine's Island Homeowners Association, which is adjacent to the proposed Tidewater Center, said the community welcomes Arm of the Sea as a neighbor. "In 1994, when our community was still in development, before any of the houses had been built, Arm of the Sea began using a studio on our property for creating and rehearsing their shows. They do so to this day, and will continue until they move into their new quarters," she said.
"We've been [walking] through this neglected property for 20 years and it became a way for us to enact something in the real world that we symbolically enact in our theater productions — transformation," said Wadden. "What we do is all about transformation and a more livable future."
Murphy and several other community residents are active in the Arm of the Sea project. Murphy herself has been on the board of the current property owners — Sloop Clearwater — and "I have held a vision for the site since the Clearwater acquired it in 2000."
"As an individual and as president of the Cantine's Island Homeowners Association I want all to know that we are fully in support of the plan to build what will become a treasure for the Village of Saugerties. To have the last unclaimed piece of the Saugerties waterfront become a center for arts, culture and history will be a dream come true."
Cantine's Island homes are fairly close to the Arm of the Sea storage and rehearsal area, and they sound from their site has not been an annoyance for the community, Murphy said.
Anna Landewe is a volunteer with the Saugerties Lighthouse Conservancy. "I just wanted to say how much faith I have in the effort of Arm of the Sea Theater. They have decades of dedication to the community. We see from the lighthouse the local students come down for a first hand experience with the river; They study science there, and involving arts within that study in an experiential way — we would be so lucky as a community to have them."
Some details of the presentation are superseded by changes made in response to a previous planning board meeting, said engineer Jolanda Jansen, but the presentation would be the original proposal; the updated version would be presented next month. The public hearing will remain open for next month's meeting on Aug. 14; members of the public can attend and ask questions, she said.
The property has long been abandoned, and "young people, teenagers, would find their way in there, go and play in the ruins and put graffiti over things. I don't think anybody has ever been hurt there, but every time I went there I said, 'Oh my, we're very lucky that nothing has happened.'"
Clearwater acquired the property with the intention of building a winter port, but the water turned out to be too shallow, so the sloop spends the cold months in Kingston. "Arm of the Sea is in contract to buy the property, but they are not the owner yet," Jansen said. However, Arm of the Sea is the applicant for the site plan approval.
"Their idea was to make it safe by fencing off the ruins, and to make it safe by putting a layer of gravel or dirt over the existing soil because … there is some heavy metal from past activities, and we don't want access to heavy metals, and we don't want children licking the dirt," Jansen said.
Because the land is below the 100-year flood plain, some of it would be underwater after a heavy rain, Jansen said. To protect permanent structures from possible flood damage, they would be raised above the parking lot level, which could safely take flooding. A former concrete coal bin on the property could provide the basis for a raised platform for buildings, she said.
"It's a place that bears the weight and wounds and unintended consequences of human enterprise," said Wadden. "There are a whole bunch of steps that have to be taken before we can let people on the property … We have a lot to figure out, we're focusing our 2019 campaign on renovating the coal bin."
Wadden said that just the coal bin renovation would cost $45,000, $20,000 of which has already been raised according to www.armofthesea.org
The plan posted at the meeting shows the whole project, Jansen said. The first phase would consist of a parking lot, one small building on a raised concrete platform for storage and items that will be needed as the property develops and an awning in the coal bin for the first performances. "All the other buildings will come in phase 2," she said.
The other buildings would include a theater space raised above the 100-year flood plain, and a classroom space and an art studio. The engineer also discussed some details of proposed landscaping. If permission for a classroom right on the water can be obtained, that would also be desirable, she said.
"We're story tellers; we've been at it for 35 years, and imagining this space as a grand place to tell the story of this place — its geology, its biology, archaeology, industrial history, the life of the current community and the life of the river. We plan to do that through the arts, through the sciences, and we're building a very modest scale year-round facility," Wadden said. Programs could include arts activities, performances, exhibitions, classes, rehearsals.
"We hope to run a summer camp there; citizen-science programs; projects; we hope to be able to launch there, use it as a platform for going out into the estuary and helping to restore it," Wadden said.
A waterworks playground would stand in the center of the complex, Wadden said. "This is a playground inspired by the historic mills of Saugerties, which were water powered, and it would be a chance for oldsters and youngsters to see how humans have made water work for us, with all kinds of small scale ways of letting water down and turning things."
Describing the water flowing from the high peaks of the Catskills watershed "plunging over the dam and meeting and mixing with the tidewater and really, the waters of the whole world," Wadden said. "It is a junction of the local and the universal, and that is why it is such a wonderful place."
Following the public hearing, Jansen told the board that the first phase of development will include "what we know we can do," with further development as funding becomes available. Jansen said she dropped off sketches of the building the organization believes it can begin with now. While the Arm of the Sea representatives would be willing to come to the August meeting, the plan for phase one may take until September, she said. The phase one building shown on the plan is a canvas building, Wadden said.

Roy Scranton vs Greta Thunberg: the climate jury is still out
overview by staff writer Dan Bloom at The Cli-Fi Report
''I admire 16-year-old Swedish climate demonstrator Greta Thunberg, I respect her and I find her courage inspirational, and I at the same time I recognize that having these feelings won't change the political inequalities, structural economic and social inertia, and climate feedback dynamics that are going to kill us all," says climate philosopher and doomsday prophet @RoyScranton, 43, a professor at the University of Notre Dame in Ohio.
"But Thunberg's project is doomed to fail," Scranton recently told a reporter at a Swedish newspaper.
He was quoted as saying that as much as he admires and respects Greta's drive and ambition, he also feels that environmentalists such as Greta Thunberg are struggling unnecessarily.
''Her project will fail,'' he said during an interview in Sweden where he was attending a seminar during the Gothenburg Film Festival in January, having flown in from the USA as a guest of the festival . Scranton referred to a variety of data that he claims show that it is too late to do anything about the negative climate development and how the global capitalism has caused disaster after disaster.
"There is really nothing more to say," he said. "There is no more room for hope."
Scranton's nonfiction book "Learning to die in the Anthropocene," which received a great deal of media and critical attention when it was first publisihed in English in 2015, will be published in a Swedish translation inn May. Perhaps Greta will read it, too, and see what Roy has to say.
"The message is clear: Hope is gone. Although humans might come up with some amazing new technology with the potential to save us, the global political will is missing," Roy told the Swedish media.
Do you mean that politicians and other corporate powers don't give a damn? the reporter asked.
'''Yeah. I have not seen any evidence that they would care," Roy said. ''Is Elon Musk doing anything to save the planet? And in Davos, all any of the politicians did there was to talk about automation. In a sense, one gets the sense these "leaders" must think of a future where they can sit in their fortified fort with security guards protecting them and with all their private jets and they want to replace people with robots."
So do you think then Greta Thunberg was wasting her time in Poland and at Davos? the Swedish reported asked.
'I wouldn't say she was wasting her time," Professor Scranton said. "She is a brave young woman and this is how she feels and how she makes senses of her life. But her calls for student strikes around the world will not stop climate change and I wonder how she will feel in five, ten years when her project has failed."
Scranton, who is an American Buddhist who grew up in a Christian family, advocates that people meditate, creating some room in their minds for silence.
"Panic only leads to violence," he said, referring to Thunberg's statement to world leaders in Davos that they all need to be very very afraid and to panic. "And, of course, we will see much more of this fear and panic in the future. But in the silence of meditation, there is an opportunity to take in what is happening, to mourn and listen to the last bird and think about how we should live ethically and how we should reorganize our societies.''
Do you ever feel like a doomsday preacher who just making people depressed with your essays and books? the Swedish reporter asked.
''Yes, I do and I am trying to cut down on my public appearances and publications and tweets, Scranton answered. "All this is hard for me, too, and I would rather spend the rest of my time being with my young daughter and reading poetry and writing. There is really nothing more to say."
Later, on Twitter, Scranton wrote: ''I just wanted to repost this essay link here for those of you who seem confused about my argument. I wrote this op-ed in the New York Times in 2013 titled 'Learning How to Die in the Anthropocene.' Things have only gotten worse since then.''
https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/learning-how-to-die-in-the-anthropocene/
When on Twitter @Daniel Pinchbeck posed this question to Scranton during a recent Twitter chat "When you say "we are defeated," do you mean near-term extinction is inevitable? Otherwise there are many levels and lots of reason to organize and fight, no?
Scranton replied: ''I agree there are many reasons and ways to organize, but I think doing so to 'stop climate change' is a lost cause. We've lost whatever fight there was to stop catastrophic anthropogenic global warming, which is happening now, and going to get worse.''
Pinchbeck shot back: ''Scientists say we have a shot at preventing 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temps if we reduce CO2 50 percent and get to carbon neutral quickly. So that is still an option, albeit a long shot. Wouldn't it make sense for you to work with the Extinction Rebellion group -- a non-violent direct action and civil disobedience for action on the climate and ecological crisis:now instead of giving up?"
Scranton replied: ''Greenhouse gases increased last year. There will be no political change in the US that puts us on a substantive carbon reduction pathway. Carbon capture and sequestration tech is still underfunded and underdeveloped, and I don't have the money to change that.''
And he then added: ''Also, what am I supposed to do about China, India, and other industrializing nations? Should I go protest in Beijing? You're talking about completely transforming the global energy economy as if it could be solved by passing a bill through a legislature. It's absurd.''
On Twitter, @GretaThunberg retweeted of her own Twitter feed, with glowing approval for her cause, this statement issued by 3,000 Belgian scientists and academics who wrote an ''open letter'' urging for strongly increased climate ambition, a statement that directly supported Greta's stand on mass street rallies around the world by teenagers: "If you consider the objective science, only one conclusion is possible: the people taking the streets are completely right."
So between Roy Scranton and Greta Thunberg there is a lot of love and respect.
But they are going their separate ways, one the perspective of a doomsday philosopher, and the other, a teenage idealist with an angelic face and an English accent that has charmed the adult world.
Will these two people ever meet in peace and agreement? It seems like a long shot.
Stay tuned to both of them.
