Just then Marshall rushed in waving The Enterprise over his head and calling out for Sally. “Sally? I’ve got news to share.”
“Oh, hi Marshall. What’s going on?” Sally answered as she looked up from reading her new Berne library book, “The Future of Fungi — How Fungi Can Feed Us, Heal Us, Free Us and Save Our World,” by Michael Lim and Yun Shu. Sally’s been researching the power of mushrooms for over a year now.
Marshall spilled into the room, flopping on the couch and sharing his excitement.
“The new exhibit is up in the community room featuring entries from the Friends photo contest. We can swing by through the end of February and vote on our favorite photos. When do you want to go? How about tomorrow?”
“We won’t be able to go tomorrow but how about Monday as a pre-Valentine’s Day outing?” Sally offered.
“OK, Sally. You got yourself a date. And then maybe we could do movie night at the library on the 17th?”
“That sounds like a plan, Marshall. Let’s add it to the calendar now and seal the deal.”
Marshall gave Sally a big hug and a peck on the cheek. “Looking forward to viewing the photos and the movie with you, Sal.”
And with that, they settled down for a nice warm spot of tea.

Life at the Sawmill
In the meantime, visit the current array of photographs on display depicting a slice of Hilltown history: “Life, Home and a Family Business in the Heldebergs — Rudy Stempel & Family Sawmill, Inc.”
Now being run by the second generation, encounters with mud season, blizzards, roof collapses, hazardous ice conditions, equipment failures, equipment repairs, picture perfect summer days, and all manner of obstacles and surprises seeping in over the past 60-plus years have yet to stop the Stempel family’s tenacity to keep going.
With Rudy and Sheila at the helm, rewards were many and hardships were bearable thanks to a hidden strength they called on repeatedly. Stubborn determination runs in the family. Along with a huge support network, the saw continues to buzz its lumber-making song.
Making a decision to invest in his first sawmill to saw lumber for a family home was a good one. View the display and share your memories of your own building projects made from Rudy’s Rough Cut Lumber.
Years of laughter, tears, and joy all wrapped up in a continuous bundle of appreciation for working with nature has proven one thing: Life at the Sawmill is good.
Director’s note
The library trustees have another opening to fill. Please call 518-872-1246 if you are a Berne resident and are interested in filling the new position.

“What about a used-book venue?” Cindy Leigh asked.
“I don’t know,” Eric sighed. “What with the Friends yearly book sale and all.”
“Well, their book sale is usually planned for the end of March. We could plan ours for mid-summer sometime. Like July or August. After all, it is a fundraiser we want to do. And the library is going to be one of the beneficiaries, yes?”
“Truth!” Eric poked back. “Maybe we could collaborate with your friends at the Sawmill and have the event at their location.”
“I like the sound of that. They love being part of community events when they are able. Especially for a great cause like our local library. I’ll stop over to the Sawmill next week and run it by my friend.”
“Great!” Eric enthused. “Hey, somebody just pulled in. It looks like Sally and Marshall. And Roxanne is pulling in right behind them.”
When everybody was inside, the Word of the Month Club got started. First up was Marshall’s library rundown of activities.
“Happy New Year everybody,” Marshall began. Here’s a quick look at our library’s happenings:
“You all know about the Friends Juried Photography Exhibit for 2023. This is their 8th year. Themes are divided into four categories. ͑͐Wacky Weather; Nostalgia; Frisky, four-Legged Friends; Lights, Camera, Action. You can pick up entry forms, along with guidelines, right at the circ desk in the library. January 31st is the deadline for entries.
“For those of you with relatives interested in the Pokémon craze, the biweekly Poḱ́mon Club meets Saturday, the 14th, at 2 p.m. Spread the word and get those kids in to enjoy some Pokémon fanfare.
“On Sunday, the 15th, it’s the Knit Wits first mingle of the year at 7 p.m. They are always looking for interested yarn crafters. If it’s help on a project or joining socially or to learn better techniques, stop and check out what they do.
“Penguins are on the scene for Tuesday story time. Miss Kathy rolls out another edition for the 4-and-under kiddies at 10:30 a.m., on the 17th. Can you do the penguin walk? Give it a try just for the wiggle giggle factor.
“One more item to mention and I’ll turn the floor over to Eric and Cindy Leigh. It’s going to be January’s Friday movie night January 20th at 6 p.m. Friday’s feature is “Black Adam” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Black Adam and Pierce Brosnan as superhero Doctor Fate of the Justice Society of America.
“You’ll be in for lots of electrifying action, flying superheroes loaded with muscle, humor and abilities you’ll just have to see to believe. Make movie night on the 20th your date night and enjoy the show. We will roll in the padded office chairs for a comfortable viewing experience, refreshments included.
“That’s it for this week’s edition. See you next week with a brand new show.”

Resolution. One definition, from the dictionary, shares this explanation: “A firm decision to do or not do something.”
So, how are you doing? Do you consider yourself part of the statistically normal SOP crowd — Standard Operating Procedure of try, try, and try, try again and again and again? Or is it full steam ahead — nothing’s gonna stop me now; look out I’m barreling on through to success?
Well, how about this resolution? Resolve to visit the Berne Public Library in 2023. Check out some books; borrow magazines; choose from a variety of available DVDs, books on CD, or music CDs; score new seeds from the seed library; and/or resolve to attend one of the many programs offered to you free of charge throughout the year.
Slam dunk and done. There’s a resolution you can sink your teeth into and learn something as the year rolls along. Looking forward to your visits.
Coming events
Here are some of the happenings at your library:
— The Berne Sunday Book Club has its January mingle on Sunday the 8th at 5 p.m. “Winter Solace” by Elin Hilderbrand sits on the reading table.

Witness a rewarding life full of hard work, laughter, surprises, colorful characters, and unforeseen road blocks over the 65-plus years of being surrounded by wood. Drop in and tour this bit of local history from the Hilltowns through the end of January. See you on the trail!
Marshall was excited for Sally’s upcoming Word of the Month Club’s celebration at their house on Dec. 30. Plans include a few Hogmanay (Scottish word for New Year’s Eve) traditions, including folk music, hooking arms in singing “Auld Lang Syne,” dancing, food and Redding the House — cleaning out the house and readying it for 2023.
Learning of Edinburgh’s three-day festival for ushering in the New Year, Sally wanted to claim some Hogmanay enthusiasm of her own. So, she decided to start her party on the 30th with all her new mates from the Word of the Month Club.
Roxanne and the gang were all keen on the upcoming gathering as well. Their motto, emblazoned on their purple gong, reads: “Ever Curious, Ever Learning.”
“OK, Marshall, we have to be at Roxanne's by 7 for the announcement.”
“Yup, I’m ready when you are, Sally.”
They hopped in the car and got there just as Charlotte was heading toward the front of the room. “Hi there everybody. Hope your holiday celebrations were up to your liking. Cindy Leigh, the envelope, if you please.” Charlotte smiled as she held out her hand.
Cindy Leigh handed over the shiny gold envelope. With a mighty swing she gave the gong all she could muster to herald in the new word for the New Year swooping toward them.
After glancing at the paper, Charlotte looked up and declared January’s focus word. “And the winner is: Biophilia.”
With a few raised eyebrows from the crowd and some questioning looks Charlotte went on to explain: “Biophilia — a passionate love of life and all that is alive. Innate tendencies to connect with nature. There is even biophilic design in architecture. Striving to include natural elements like water features, indoor plantings, and views of nature in developing interior designs.”
Nods and smiles all around as they wrapped their heads around this new word.
“Raise your glasses to learn more and embrace biophilia. To biophilia, everyone.”
“Biophilia, here, here!”
On the drive home Sally was smiling. “I just loved hearing about that new word. Let’s order some books from the library when we get home tonight so we can learn some more about it. And we can peek at the scheduled activities coming up.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Marshall grinned as he glanced over at Sally.

Stop in through New Year’s Eve to view Eleanor’s crispy clear scenes snapped from surrounding Hilltowns locations.
Holiday Vehicle Parade
On Dec. 11, the Berne Library will take part in the Holiday Vehicle Parade. The idea for a Christmas parade in Berne, originating in the late 1990s, sprouted from a collaboration.
Bonnie Conklin, of the Berne Historical Society, and Jodi Ebel, of the Berne Public Library, ran with it. Others brought on board were Berne Youth Council members and the Masons.
It was a foot parade traveling from Berne-Knox-Westerlo to the Masonic Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Claus were driven over the parade route, disembarking to take part in refreshment and gift-giving in the Masonic Hall building.
The library, being part of the Town Hall back in the day, and the Berne Museum, still living above the Town Hall ,made for a handy end point. Just a bit of history for you to enjoy as you celebrate whatever you choose to celebrate.
Coming events
The library is hosting these events in December:
— All the youngsters 4 and under are invited to Gingerbread Story Time on Dec. 13 at 10:30 a.m. Miss Kathy shows the kids a fun time with stories, movement, and crafts;

600 homemade hats!
The Knit Wits, facilitated by Jodi Ebel, set a lofty goal for themselves at the beginning of 2022. They dubbed it the “500 Hats Project.”
Their mission, which they chose to accept enthusiastically, was to collect 500 homemade hats to be distributed to various community groups in the Helderberg Hilltowns and beyond.
It’s a pleasure to announce the group reaching nearly 600 hats made, collected, counted, and distributed.
The exact number of contributors may not be known but the organizations benefiting from the hat creating volunteers are listed here: BKW Elementary School, BKW Secondary School; Grassroots Givers; Hilltown community Resource Center; Helderberg Kiwanis; Sheriff’s Office Christmas Drive; and Rock Road Chapel.
Kudos to Jodi Ebel and all the Knit Wits for this successful community gifting project.
Friends of The Berne Library are trumpeting their invite to any and all photography enthusiasts to be part of the Friends 8th Annual Juried Photography Contest. Entry forms and guidelines are ready for pick up.
The same tried-and-true formula is being used, but the 2023 themes have been changed to surprise the innocent. Submit your photos by January 31, 2023. Zoom in on these new categories to capture your prize winning photos:
— 1. Wacky Weather;
— 2. Nostalgia;
— 3. Frisky, Four-Legged Friends; or
— 4. Lights, Camera, Action.
The two divisions for entries are Adults, over 18 years of age, and Juniors, ages 8 to 18. All are encouraged to give it a go.
Book club
Sunday Book Club members gather their thoughts for discussing “The Rose Code” by Kate Quinn. A World War II tale filled with secrecy, betrayal, and three once closely allied women trying to break a final code together.
After being estranged through a less-than-understood betrayal, Mab, Beth, and Osla find they need to rekindle their alliance to discover their real enemy, a traitor to be exposed. Becoming allies may be their only hope for healing some very deep wounds from their decryption work during the war.
Story club
Story Time on Tuesday, Dec. 5, at 10:30 .m. features whatever Miss Kathy decides to do. Be prepared to be amazed through stories, movement, and a fun craft.
Homeschool Hangout
On Wednesday, pop in for a Homeschool Hangout at 11 a.m. Any and all homeschoolers are welcome to join in, share and relax.
Time to write
The Journeys On the Page writing group meets up on Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. on Zoom and in person. An ongoing theme surfaces at the mingles: “I just don’t have time to write.”
So, we tried a quick exercise:
— 1. Throw out a prompt. For example, your first driving experience; and
— 2. Set a timer for 3 to 5 minutes and just write until the timer goes off. Some found their writing went far beyond the 5 minutes.
It was different, it was fun, and we discovered we all have stories to tell. Interested writers are always welcome.
Trustees meet
Those trusty Berne Library Board of Trustees will have their December open meeting to the public on the 8th at 6:30 p.m.
The library is seeking interested applicants to fill one upcoming vacancy on the board of trustees. Please forward a letter of intent to director@bernepubliclibrary.org. For more info, call and ask for Kathy at 518-872-1246.

The Berne Library has a tree that will be decorated with donated socks.
Sally and Marshall were getting everything ready in anticipation of their guests. After Sally’s recent hook up with the Word of the Month Club, she noticed many rumblings to do something different for Thanksgiving.
Being a new member, she was a bit hesitant but she figured she’d take a giant leap and just put it out there. Sally stood up to address the group.
“If anyone is interested in a different kind of Thursday celebration, this is an open invitation to swing by our house around 3:00 on the 24th for tacos, pizza, root-beer floats, and Scrabble. We’ll provide the makings for tacos and homemade pizzas and you provide your creativity.”
Seven members had no other obligations so enthusiastically decided to go for it.
Plans were set in motion for what would turn out to be a smashing good time.
The pizza with dressing, fresh cranberries, lion’s mane mushrooms and a splitch of turkey was a big hit. As were the turkey and smashed-potato tacos.
Before digging into dessert, a friendly discussion swirled around December’s focus word.
Feeling partial to one particular word, they decided to wrap it up and make it official. “So we’re ready, then?” asked Kookey.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“OK, Kookey, since you brought this one to our attention, you do the honors,” said Roxanne as she handed her the mallet for giving the customary gong strike.
After a good whack with the mallet, Kookey burst out with, “And for December comes the Japanese word tsundoku. Meaning, buying, acquiring, gathering and piling lots of books in your personal spaces with the intention of reading them ‘someday.’ If you have one or several of these piles you can say ‘Oh, those? Those are my tsundokus.’ You are sure to get a raised eyebrow or two.”
Since December’s word choice described nearly everyone in the room, glasses were raised with a toast from Cindy Leigh. “Here’s to our tsundokus. May they ever bring us joy.” How many tsundokus are too many?
Now that you have a name for those piles of books in your home you haven’t read yet, you can rest easy. Plus you can add a few temporary ones from the library on your next borrowing spree.
Pizza Story Time
Rolling into view Tuesday, Nov. 29, is Pizza Story Time at 10:30 a.m. Pizza can be round. It can be square. It can be gooey and cheesy or filled with veggies or fruit. Bring your young ones and share a story, some games, and a pizza-related crafty idea. Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 10:30 a.m., get ready for Pizza Time.
Homeschool Hangout
Then on the 30th, homeschool groups can gather for Homeschool Hangout at 11 a.m. Visit, share, and play at the new Homeschool Hangout hour at the library every other Wednesday.
