30 • LIVING ADE The Mountain Times • Sept. 11-17, 2019 Saturday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m.—WOODSTOCK—Awardwinning art historian, critic, author and podcaster Tyler Green will be speaking about groundbreaking 19th century photographer Carleton Watkins on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Billings Farm & Museum Visitor Center. A signing of Green’s book, “Carleton Watkins: Making the West American,” will precede the talk, beginning at 6 p.m. This lecture event is a collaboration between Marsh- Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and Billings Farm & Museum. Light refreshments will be provided. Green’s talk explores the surprising relationships between Carleton Watkins, New England, and the national park idea – including connections to Frederick Billings and Woodstock, Vermont. Considered the greatest photographer of the 19th Century, Watkins’ work contributed significantly to the evolution of national identity, an idea Green examines in-depth in his book. Green is the producer and host of The Modern Art Notes podcast, which debuted in 2011 and is America’s most downloaded audio program about art. He lectures extensively and has authored numerous articles and op-eds about art and non-profit art institutions in both digital and print publications. “Carleton Watkins: Making the West American” is his first Build book; a it Knight won the Contest 2019 California Book Award gold medal. Together, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP and Billings Farm & Museum comprise much of the former estate of Frederick Billings. Early in his career as a land lawyer in San Francisco, Frederick Billings worked with Carleton Watkins, before going on to serve as a railroad president, agricultural innovator, and conservationist. In July of 1861, Watkins trekked into Yosemite Valley with the National Park photographer > 32 If you would like to participate in our Build a Knight Contest, please sign up at the information table located on the back porch of the library.

At 52 years old, Barnes was too young to have been part of the first settlement himself but he was well-connected and observant enough to collect stories from elderly living settlers or from their descendants and friends. Phil Crossman’s imaginative PowerPoint “Fourth Discourse” will introduce a few things that Barnes Frisbie decided not to tell us, didn’t have time to tell us, didn’t know we would want to know, or didn’t know himself.

The Mountain Times • Sept. 11-17, 2019 LIVING ADE • 31 Walk for health three Saturdays in September raises awareness Fall focus: to prevent suicide and child abuse, support palliative care Saturday, Sept. 14, at 9:30 a.m.— RUTLAND—This fall, teams from Community Health are walking with friends, neighbors, families, organizations, businesses and supporters who care about the health and wellness of our community and specifically to prevent suicide and child abuse and support palliative care. Teams from Community Health’s network of medical, dental and behavioral health practices will be shoulder to shoulder with walkers in Rutland on three Saturdays in September. The Walk Out of the Darkness will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, and is part of a nationwide effort by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to raise the awareness of suicide and efforts to prevent it. Their goal is to reduce the annual suicide rate 20% by the year 2025. Community Health’s Behavioral Health Leader Chris Chadwick said his team, which will be walking on Sept. 14, has recently taken special training on suicide prevention and understands the power of community support. “The importance of walks like this is to shine light onto a darkness that impacts our patients, friends Sept. 14 and family members whose lives have been impacted by suicide,” Chadwick said. “We want to show strength and unity for those who continue to feel alone.” Suicide prevention was one of the health issues identified in the most recent Community Health Needs Assessment, created every three years by health care organizations in the Rutland region. The report recommended increased awareness and “community approach and education.” The walk will be held from 9:30 a.m.–12 p.m. starting at Rutland Main Street Park, 5 South Main Street in Rutland. Upcoming: On Saturday, Sept. 21, The Vermont Great 2.4.6.8k is a walk or run event where team Community Health will be racing and raising funds for the palliative care program at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Palliative care improves the quality of life for individuals with serious or lifethreatening illnesses and supports the families of these individuals. The race begins at 10:30 a.m. on Center St. in Rutland. On Saturday, Sept. 28 from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. a team from Community Health will also be joining the Walk for Children, taking place in Rutland and Montpelier. These walks are to unite and educate the community and “send the important message that there is something that everyone can do to help. You don’t have to be a parent to care for the future of Vermont’s children. Community Health is the largest network of primary care, pediatric and dental services in Rutland and southern Addison Counties with offices in Rutland, Brandon, Castleton, West Pawlet and Shoreham.
