“May the Force be with you” was perhaps the underlying message from New York City Mayor Eric Adams to the City’s worst-hit bodega owners when he visited the Tremont section of The Bronx on Sunday
He was there to announce $1.6 million in funding to equip an estimated 500 bodegas across the five boroughs with new panic buttons which bodega staff can use to immediately call the NYPD in cases of emergency
Distributed through an emergency grant to the United Bodega Association (UBA)
City officials said the panic buttons will be installed in bodegas with the highest levels of crime to improve staff and customer safety
They said the described “SilentShields” will be directly connected to cameras in the bodega and to the NYPD
allowing officers to see crimes unfold in real time
They said they will work in direct coordination with another program the Adams administration launched last year to help local businesses voluntarily share information in real time with the NYPD through existing closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV)
2026 fiscal year executive budget (and as if taken directly from a Trump playbook) dubbed the “Best Budget Ever” by the Adams administration
City officials said this latest public safety investment in bodega safety will help build a safer city and ensure that critical small businesses that support every neighborhood across the city have the security and support they need to keep both their staff and customers safe
“Bodegas are part of the heart and soul of New York City,” Adams said in part
“They are on every corner; they are there for us at all hours
This program will bring peace of mind to our bodega owners
while protecting the working-class New Yorkers who work and frequent bodegas
Our bodegas are essential to New York City
we’re telling these small businesses: Your city has your back.”
SilentShields will give our workers a lifeline directly to the NYPD
and making it clear: New York will no longer abandon its essential bodega workers.”
“We thank Mayor Adams for taking real action
We came to the mayor and he didn’t hesitate to offer his support because our blue-collar mayor knows just how important bodegas are to their communities.”
Following the brutal murder of 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz inside a bodega in Belmont in July 2018, former Bronx City Councilman for District 13 Mark Gjonaj introduced a similar bill proposing the installation of panic buttons in bodegas the same year
We later asked both City Hall and the council if the latest initiative announced by the mayor was duplicating the city council bill
A spokesperson for the Office of the Mayor
“I’m not familiar with such legislation
but this is a $1.6 million dollar investment in protecting 500 bodegas across the city
It’s the difference between real action and just talk.” We will share any feedback we receive from the council
The 48th Precinct broadly covers the neighborhoods of Belmont
while Fordham University’s Bronx campus is nestled in the precinct’s northern corner
the famous Arthur Avenue runs down the center
and the Cross Bronx Expressway and Crotona Park form the southern border
The latest available crime statistics for the 48th Precinct are attached further below
we asked City Hall if the new initiative just covers bodegas or all small businesses in high crime areas since many other small businesses
particularly those operating late at night like food outlets
and even some tax service businesses have been the target of sometimes very violent crime in the north Bronx
See links further below to some previous stories in this regard
City officials said UBA will solicit competitive bids for SilentShield technology and aims to begin installation in the coming months
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch later said in a statement that bodegas were essential to life in New York City
and that the people who run them deserve real protection
we’re giving them a direct link to the NYPD
so we can see what’s happening in real time and respond immediately,” she said
“This is what smart policing looks like: precise
and built on the trust of the communities we serve
we’re protecting New Yorkers where they live and work.”
The announcement comes on the heels of “Budget Week,” where investments were announced in housing
“after-school for all,” and thanks to expanded eligibility requirements and continued
close to 35,000 uniformed NYPD officers by fall of 2026
and support for a record 100,000 summer job opportunities annually for young people
The mayor’s Bronx visit on Sunday follows an prior visit to Norwood on Friday
Belated Happy Star Wars Day to all who celebrate

What has become a Holy Thursday tradition in the Diocese of Cleveland returned April 17 as several hundred people participated in the Holy Night Hike
Many began the evening by attending the Mass of the Lord’s Supper in St
John Cantius Church in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood
they paused for prayer and then took to the streets
where they walked to six additional Catholic churches
At each church a brief reflection was read
take a look around the churches – which were a century or more old – and spend a few minutes in prayer before moving along to the next sacred site
Some pilgrims joined the hike in progress while others visited only a few of the participating parishes
Father Damian Ference, vicar for evangelization, said many of the hikers were from the diocesan Young Adult Ministry
Among the hikers participating this year was Charbel Khachan
who is a member of the Catching Fire group
He was joined by about 14 fellow Maronite Catholics
“I love this idea,” Khachan said
The Maronite Catholics are unable to have a hike since they have only one parish church in the area
so they decided to participate in the diocesan event
This year’s hikers visited the following churches:
Father Ference guided the hikers-- there were an estimated 150 in his group -- through the neighborhoods as they traveled between churches
A police car also kept watch over the group during parts of their pilgrimage
the group was greeted by parishioners and the pastor
gave each hiker a holy card with a picture of St
Patrick Parish welcomed the hikers with luminaries lining the sidewalk in front of the church
hikers took time to view the Timothy Schmalz statue “Homeless Jesus” that was installed a few years ago in front of the church
said it is a custom there to visit seven churches on Holy Thursday night
The Blessed Sacrament is moved to an altar of repose that night after the Mass of the Lord’s Supper
which commemorates the institution of the Eucharist
to allow the faithful to spend time in adoration and silent prayer
much like the apostles who kept watch with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion

Karen Spears Zacharias was 40 years old when she published her first book
but the seed that swelled into her latent identity as a writer was planted decades earlier
was sent to Tennessee to stay “in the way back holler of a place called Christian Bend” with her great-aunt Cil
“There wasn’t a lot to do there other than to spend time with Aunt Cil
“I believe it was the storytelling that I heard that summer that got rooted within me.”
Neither her siblings nor their mom ever spoke about the father they had lost
when she had children of her own and reached the age her mother had been when Zacharias’ father died
“all of that began to bubble up.” She began writing “about things that I couldn’t talk about.”
Today, Zacharias is the award-winning author of many novels and nonfiction works, including her most recent title released in March, "The Devil’s Pulpit and other Mostly True Scottish Misadventures," based on the experiences she had and the people she met while studying at the University of the West of Scotland in 2022
“I've been to writers conferences where, let's just say, the competitive spirit is palpable. Ours is not that way at all,” said Jeremy Lloyd, Tremont’s manager of field and college programs, who creates each annual event in partnership with Smokies Life Creative Services Director Frances Figart
It takes place in the outrageously beautiful Smoky Mountains
relationship-building is one of the key ingredients
Writers come away with a group of peers who
continue to elevate one another's writing long after the conference ends.”
Conference participants will spend their mornings in small-group writing workshops and optional one-on-one mentoring sessions with their cohort leaders
Zacharias looks forward to opportunities to spark creativity in her cohort
something she finds “every bit as thrilling” as receiving compliments on her own work
“You don’t know what that thing is that will light in another person,” she said
“but unless we expose ourselves to those opportunities for creativity
Following morning workshop, writers will spend their afternoons accompanying Tremont naturalists on excursions exploring the region’s natural history. Evenings will be occupied by group dinners, fellowship, and readings from cohort leaders — an intentional cultivation of community
“I think that there’s value in the solitude that we often have as writers
but there’s an equal amount of value exploring your ideas with like-minded people
people who love and value words and want to make their words better,” said Wilkinson
“I wouldn’t be the writer I am without my various writing communities.”
Wilkinson, a recent Kentucky poet laureate who is also the author of multiple books, short stories, poems, and essays — including her 2024 culinary memoir "Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts" — is excited to see the “magic that can happen” with the convergence of place
and purpose she expects to find at Tremont
Wilkinson will encourage her cohort members to explore the tools available to them across genres
and the “wild possibilities” these diverse forms offer
As a writer of fiction and poetry as well as nonfiction
Wilkinson has a deep appreciation for the depth these disciplines can offer when drawn on together
“I used to put my poet self in one compartment
and my novelist/fiction writing self in another one,” she said
“One of the things I’ve learned lately is that it is possible to have them all present
you can have access to details and storytelling
and you can have access to the facts and archival research.”
presenting writers with real-time writing exercises to complete is an effective way to help develop these skills
because that’s exactly what it is,” she said
“It’s almost like stretching a muscle you didn’t even know you had.”
Wilkinson can’t imagine a better place to stretch those muscles than the Tremont campus, nestled within the dazzlingly diverse landscape of Great Smoky Mountains National Park
“I think even if you don’t have an inclination toward nature
suddenly there are myriad possibilities that you can add to your work,” she said
Wilkinson has always paid close attention to the natural world
These insights have frequently inspired and illuminated the narratives arcing through her work
“You can understand a sense of place through exploring animal life and the natural world,” she said
“I think that one of the things that comes up in my work is nature’s propensity to heal.”
This tendency is often evident in "Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts." A tribute to the five generations of Black women who came before her in the corner of rural Appalachia where she was raised
exploring the lessons Wilkinson’s grandmother taught her about nature and how to live harmoniously within it
“There are moments where I’m even thinking about what enslavement would have been like for my fourth great-grandmother and also thinking about being out there in the woods and having those moments of respite
depending on nature to fortify after a hard winter in Appalachia,” she said
feels a strong connection to the mountains and valleys flowing from Tremont
returning to East Tennessee “always feels like coming home.”
That’s true even when she’s writing about a place as far away as Scotland
“That connection across the pond carries from that place in East Tennessee all the way to that place in west Scotland
The storytelling that I heard from my aunt about her neighbors then becomes the storytelling I do about the people I met in Scotland.”
The first thing Zacharias did after receiving her advance for "After the Flag Has Been Folded," her first book deal with Harper-Collins nearly 20 years ago
and purchase a headstone for her great-aunt Cil
It was inscribed with the phrase “words rise up out of the country.”
and I don’t think we talk enough about how it’s the geography of a place and the personality of a place that shapes us and shapes our stories and shapes our worldview,” she said
is that you get out of the one-mindset worldview.”
Whether they’re traveling from Townsend or Tucson
writers receive an opportunity to experience a new type of wildness at Tremont
an abrupt shift in context capable of knocking loose new forms of creativity — allowing each writer to leave better equipped to express their own unique voice
“There’s a renewing in the spirit when you’re around other writers,” Wilkinson said
“and you can’t help but be anxious to get back to that solitude

Blaine Williams knows he made one of the most difficult choices of his young life
The Tremont catcher last September decommitted from the University of Illinois and reopened his recruitment
Williams then decided his best fit would be away from the diamond and in the United States Army
“Baseball is done for me,” the senior said
“It was really something that was kind of weighing on me
I just really wanted to go into it right away and get started on my journey in the military.”
Williams says he always wanted to go into the service
Williams ultimately decided on his dream coming sooner than expected
Who's No. 1? Top 6 high school baseball teams around Peoria in 2025
The Journal Star all-area player
knows there will be naysayers about the path he’s taking
“It’s a big opportunity I’m kind of throwing away,” Williams said
you got to do what you’re pushing to do in life
so that’s what really what I want to pursue
so everybody is very appreciative of that.”
This news was initially surprising to Tremont coach Eddie Betson
“It’s obviously going to be what’s best for him,” said Betson
who is in his first season after coaching the Metamora sophomore team
“I think that he embodies everything that the military would ever ask for
because he’s about the toughest son-of-a-gun I’ve ever had the opportunity to coach.”
And this also means that Williams is making the most of his last time playing America’s pastime
he’d been hyper-focused on prepping for the next season and the next level
All of his energy and effort will go into the 2025 campaign
“The only thought in my mind is to win,” Williams said
“There’s never been a time more when I’ve enjoyed the game
Tremont is off to a 4-0 start through Tuesday’s 7-2 win over Brimfield/Elmwood
The Turks pitching staff has been a big key to that early success
Griffin Meeker and Hunter Smith have combined to keep opposing hitters off-balance with Williams catching

“I love being behind the plate for those guys,” he said
noting he’s caught a lot of his teammate since junior high
“I know exactly what they’re feeling each day when they’re on the mound
so it’s just really having that connection with my pitchers
really just dominating when they’re on the mound.”
Tremont is also having very little trouble at the plate
44-3 including 30 runs scored in two games over the weekend
but an offseason spent in the batting cage has helped him keep his hand movement minimal
be on a straight path to the ball and find the gaps
This mentality has helped Williams become an example everyone seems to be following
“From Day 1 when I first met him,” Betson said
“he’s been absolutely rock-solid in every way for being a leader for us.”
There’s optimism that Tremont can end a seven-year regional title drought
“We got a lot of talent this year … as long as we keep the bats rolling,” Williams said
and we’ll have a pretty good year this year
this is going to be our year if we’re going to make a run.”
if the Turks do win a regional championship
His deployment to basic training is May 28 — the same day Class 2A sectional semifinals begin
The position will likely be turned over to Williams’ freshman brother
“He’ll take over the reins from there,” the elder Williams said

Effy hit the flying Fame-asser for a believable nearfall
Hammerstone hit a running Mafia Kick and a German Suplex
Effy got an inside cradle out of nowhere for the pin
Effy defeated Alexander Hammerstone to retain the GCW World Title at 11:33
The bell rang but they just absorbed the crowd reaction
then a dive through the ropes onto Tremont
He hit a moonsault to the floor on Tremont
Tremont threw a chair and CLOCKED Arez in the head at 3:30 and I really hated that one
Tremont got a fork and jabbed it into Arez’ forehead
and he jabbed a gusset plate into Tremont’s forehead
It was now Arez’ turn to throw a chair at Tremont’s head
Tremont was bleeding heavily from that gusset plate
Tremont was bleeding all over the floor; he was really gushing
Arez hit Tremont with chairs and door debris
Tremont hit a World’s Strongest Slam through a door in the corner for a nearfall at 10:00

They traded punches while standing on the horizontal ladder bridge
Arez hit a top-rope doublestomp to the chest for a believable nearfall
Tremont hit a DVD onto the pile of chairs and ladder for a believable nearfall; I thought that was it
Tremont then hit a sit-out powerbomb onto the ladder for the pin
Violent match; fans of this style will love it
I object to the chairshots and blows to the head
Matt Tremont defeated Arez to retain the GCW Ultraviolent Title at 18:09
I really liked that Masha-Gresham match so that takes third
While I wasn’t surprised to see Fuego Del Sol return
I was as shocked as everyone else when he turned and attacked Stackhouse
it looks like Fuego is embarking on a second act to his wrestling career as an unmasked heel
Fans of death matches will really enjoy that main event
I hope someday we can put an end to those blows to the head… have we learned nothing

Coaching in the Heart of Illinois Conference was too good to pass up for Joe Hageman
Hageman was hired in February as the new head football coach at Tremont, following six seasons as the coach at Catlin Salt Fork
never had a losing season and made the Class 1A playoffs five times at the school 125 miles southeast of Peoria
“The opportunity to jump into the Heart of Illinois was definitely something exciting,” Hageman said
noting he thinks the HOI is one of the best small-school conferences in the state
2024 Journal Star all-area teams: Meet the 22 top football players around Peoria
The 1994 Catlin graduate takes over for Benny Prather, who received a 6-1 vote of non-renewal from the District 702 school board in December
Prather’s two-year stint included a pair of winless seasons
and the Turks will enter 2025 on an 18-game losing streak
whose team opens at 2024 Class 1A quarterfinalist Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley on Aug
“It’s been rough for them the last couple of years,” he said
“… The good things the kids have to understand is
when Week 1 rolls around and the ball’s put on the tee at 7 o’clock in Gibson City
“… Every year’s a new year and there’s always opportunities there and just getting the kids to believe in what we’re trying to do offensively and defensively
I think are things that will allow us to be successful.”
Hageman says he had a "wonderful experience" and a "great time" coaching at Salt Fork
you’re just ready to kind of look out a new window,” Joe Hageman said
Now, Tremont will get a taste of a new-look offense and defense. He was the offensive coordinator for Salt Fork from 2009 until his resignation this past November
Establishing the run will be the priority on offense
and we base things out of the wing-T for a long time,” Hageman said
you kind of tailor that to the kids you get on a certain year
“I still think to be successful at a small high school
'No place better': New Metamora football coach aims to maintain program's historic legacy
who began his career coaching defense at Downs Tri-Valley
“I’ve kind of lived on ball sides of the ball,” he said
For Tremont to compete with its league mates
it will take time in the summer to get physically and mentally prepared
Time in the weight room along with conditioning will be the focus throughout the offseason
Hageman will also rely on his returning players to help boost numbers
“They’re always going to be the best recruiters for the program,” he said
1 goal is to make football something that’s enjoyable for them
“I think that’s the best way to go about trying to get the largest number of athletes in school involved is to make it a program that kids are excited about and want to be a part of.”
Can blueprint become reality? Limestone's new football coach eyes expectation of success
and him have already bought a house in Tremont
but are waiting to move once the school year ends
Hageman’s youngest son will be a sophomore this fall
Hageman is the Salt Fork head baseball coach and junior high athletics director
“I’m trying to balance the looking ahead,” he said
“and enjoying the moments I’m having with the kids of Salt Fork
which has sat vacant for nearly 20 years and has seen many plans come and go
In a Redevelopment Authority meeting held Thursday
town officials said two unnamed local businesses have approached them about expanding their operation into the steel building
which was used to manufacture nails as recently as 2006
The town purchased the factory in 2004 using Community Preservation Act Funds
After the Tremont Nail Company moved out of Wareham
town officials began exploring options to repurpose and redevelop the factory into an asset for the town
Select Board Chair Judith Whiteside said representatives toured the property and expressed "real interest."

the steel building is being used as storage for Municipal Maintenance equipment
Bentley Companies to repurpose the entire factory
Director of Planning and Community Development Ken Buckland
explained during Thursday's meeting that due to time restrictions
Bentley Companies proposed utilizing the factory for: office space
retail establishments and adding a brewery or restaurant
The firm’s vision also included a waterfront community park — complete with a pier
a cannabis manufacturing company was set to move into the steel building and invested $300,000 into repairs
The town planned to charge the company $184,000 a year in rent which would have paid for repairs to the other buildings at the factory
the company could not get a license from the state's Cannabis Control Commission and never moved in
The $300,000 repairs to the steel building were completed before the company backed out
looked to move into the steel building but never did
"This might serve as a partial victory in terms of redeveloping the Tremont Nail Factory," said Redevelopment Authority Chair Dan Butler

general manager at The Tremont House in Galveston
talks about the renovations to The Rooftop Bar on Tuesday
The Rooftop Bar at The Tremont House overlooks downtown Galveston on Tuesday
The rooftop bar reopened Sunday after extensive renovations
Astrid McGlone pours a signature Old Fashioned cocktail at the newly renovated and reopened The Rooftop Bar at The Tremont House in Galveston on Tuesday
was closed more than two years for renovations
Seating areas offer views of downtown Galveston at the newly renovated rooftop at The Tremont House on Tuesday
Staff at The Rooftop Bar at The Tremont House serve guests TuesdayFeb
reopened Sunday after extensive renovations
reopened this week after a 2 1/2-year remodel
The iconic and historic Tremont House Hotel in downtown is sporting a new crown just in time for Mardi Gras
who for his entire tenure at the hotel has been answering Galveston’s most-burning question
“When are you going to open The Rooftop Bar?,” can now offer something more certain than “soon.”
was beaming with pride Tuesday at the finished project
The Rooftop Bar had a soft opening for a few hours Sunday to make sure its systems and equipment were running smoothly
Its hours are noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday and noon to 1 a.m
Various Galveston-related social media pages were buzzing with excitement Monday night as word began to spread
In a space that used to live up to its simple moniker as an open-air bar perched on a roof
a new four-seasons facility has taken shape
The Rooftop Bar’s primary footprint is enclosed in a structure that features accordion glass doors on three sides allowing for pleasant gulf breezes when the weather cooperates or keeping those breezes and the oft-accompanying rains outside when the conditions aren’t so nice
winds and poor weather would force the former bar to be closed at times
The bar still has several outside-only seating options for when weather allows
The views remain as spectacular as those the original bar offered
Timmons was among those enthralled by the activity at the port
but due to the safety setbacks from the roof’s edge
The Rooftop Bar may not be the best spot from which to watch the Mardi Gras parades
The Daily News reported hotel officials hoped for a fall 2023 reopening
But the reality of the logistics of building an entirely new structure
atop a historic building and maintaining its character and integrity was a bigger undertaking than anyone could have imagined
“We would have liked to be open a long time before now,” Timmons said
“But we’re absolutely thrilled to be open for Mardi Gras.”
The Rooftop Bar remodel was part of a multimillion dollar makeover of the iconic hotel that started in 2022
Today all that work is done and the final T to be crossed is an elevator inspection for the Belmont Building portion of the Tremont House
which recently had its 11 rooms completely remodeled
Timmons isn’t allowed to give specifics on the costs to rebuild The Rooftop Bar
The Rooftop Bar is more than just a place for libations
including signature cocktails such as Girl Named Violet
Some of Timmons’ favorites include the Waygu beef sliders
which he described as “incredible,” pork belly bao bao and duck wings
The Tremont House Hotel added 20 employees for The Rooftop Bar
some of whom came from other parts of the property
has been sold out for four of the past seven days even though the island is in its winter season
“We get a lot of business from the cruises,” Timmons said
The Rooftop Bar will be available for private parties to rent
but Timmons’ staff is waiting a few months to offer that option because there’s been such a pent-up demand to access the space
“”We’re thrilled and excited and ready to show off,” he said

Ohio — "Every other race looks out for each other
Isn't it time white people do the same?," asks a poster found at Clark Field
That flier is just one of several Tremont residents who are outraged over finding this week
Megan Jones-Turner told me she was walking her dogs at the Clark Field trail that begins at West 11th Street and Clark Avenue this weekend
"We are approximately 4% of the world's population
which stands for 'Only White Lives Matter.'
[It's] very disappointing that people feel this way
making it into something that is about race
'people will look out for one another,' I feel like just because that's the right thing to do [that] you're actually making more division by pointing out differences rather than finding the things that unite you and make you the same," Jones-Turner said
Jones-Turner said she wasn't planning on sharing what she saw
but another Tremont local shared a poster taped to the outside of Dante on social media
What appears to be the father in the photo has a swastika on his arm
When Jones-Turner saw the social media post
she shared her experience and said she was glad to see so many sharing the same feelings she had
"I take heart in the fact that there are other people who are going to be fighting this just as hard like taking these signs down and bringing awareness to it," she said
Both Jones-Turner and the woman who shared the sign outside of Dante said they ripped the signs down and disposed of them
A photographer and I went to both locations on Sunday afternoon
While we confirmed neither flier was still posted
a mere 20 feet away from where Jones-Turner found that one poster
my photographer and I found another sticking out of the trash can
It promotes "white unity" and defending "your race."
Sunday night was the first time Jones-Turner had seen the sign we did
It's very disturbing to imagine that people still think and feel that way
While Jones-Turner doesn't feel unsafe and doesn't believe this is the work of someone who lives in Tremont
"It'd be nice to see these people brought in and kind of questioned if they can find out who did it
What's your objective here?," Jones-Turner stated
"Educate yourselves on what it is that you are pushing because there's no reason to hate other people because you don't know anything about them
I reached out to the City of Cleveland Ward 3 Councilperson Kerry McCormack for comment since these areas fall within his district
but we reached out via social media for a response regarding the sign taped to the outside of the restaurant
I haven't heard back from the business either

Maurice Manning has led countless writing workshops over the course of his career, but the Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet experienced something special at the Tremont Writers Conference last October
is jointly created and coordinated by Smokies Life and the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont
and it takes place on Tremont’s campus nestled inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park
“The thing that stands out to me about the Tremont conference is that the Great Smoky Mountains is not simply a setting for the program,” Manning said
“It is an integrated feature of the program
I've long been a believer that the landscape
and Tremont’s location makes that immensely possible.”
Manning led the poetry cohort during the 2024 conference and enjoyed the experience so much he’s filling the same role in 2025. This year’s conference, slated for Oct. 22-26, is accepting applications from writers of poetry
Attendees will participate in small-group writing workshops led by Manning for poetry
fellow Kentuckian Crystal Wilkinson for nonfiction
and two cohort leaders for fiction: journalist-turned-novelist Karen Spears Zacharias and David Joy
a novelist whose work is firmly rooted in the mountains of Western North Carolina
“It’s a highlight of my year to help organize this conference, and I get just as much out of it as the participants,” said Frances Figart, creative services director for Smokies Life, who creates each annual event in partnership with Tremont’s manager of field and college programs Jeremy Lloyd
“I’m so thrilled that we have Maurice Manning returning
as he is just the epitome of a great teacher of poetry
with knowledge that easily extends to all genres
I also know it will be exhilarating to get to work with Wilkinson
the whole experience designed around the idea that everyone involved is working together toward the same goal: continual improvement of craft as they tweak lines and storylines “to where it’s just right
He teaches at Transylvania University in Lexington
as well as at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa
where he is a faculty member for the MFA Program for Writers
But he says the poems he writes “feel given to me” by the woods and hills of his Kentucky farm
“I feel like I’m in a way living in a musical instrument,” he said
“and I just have to find the song for that particular moment and put it into words.”
The natural world also looms large in Joy’s work
He draws inspiration from the woods surrounding his home in mountainous Jackson County
just south of Great Smoky Mountains National Park
“I think that a lot of people try to create a fictional world
but it winds up being a distorted mirror of a real place,” he said
I knew Jackson County so well that it felt disingenuous to try to fictionalize it
so I just chose to hold very specifically to the place.”
Growing up along the Catawba River in North Carolina
Joy was “never cut out to be inside” and has been “obsessed” with fishing “since I could hold a fishing rod.” He moved to Jackson County at the age of 18
becoming closely attuned to the subtleties of the region’s natural landscape through countless hours spent hunting
fishing and growing his summer vegetable garden
Joy is the author of five novels as well as short stories and creative nonfiction pieces that have appeared in publications such as Garden & Gun and The New York Times Magazine
His 2024 novel "Those We Thought We Knew" won the 2023 Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award
the 2023 Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction and the 2024 Sir Walter Raleigh Award
His 2016 novel "Where All Light Tends to Go" was an Edgar finalist for Best First Novel and adapted into a film starring Billy Bob Thornton and Robin Wright
and landmarks familiar to those who know Jackson County well
but they also encounter precise descriptions of the natural rhythms that mark time in the mountains - the “thistle-colored flower” of a pink lady’s slipper “hanging from a thin green stem like a human heart,” in 2018’s "The Line that Held Us," mountains that “took on the look of water” as seen from the top of a fire tower at nighttime in 2020’s "When These Mountains Burn."
In considering the importance of accurately rendering such details
Joy referenced a piece of advice his mentor and fellow award-winning novelist Ron Rash once gave him: “You have to get the details right in order for the reader to believe the big lie.”
“Regardless of the place that you’re writing about or the people that you’re writing about or the situation that you’re writing about
Not all writers root their work in the settings that surround them each day
but doing the work to understand the people and places being portrayed is vital to the success of any work
Manning consistently finds that ring of truth in the streams
and ever-changing angles of light that fall across his Kentucky farm
But he believes that the rhythms of nature exert a universal pull on the human heart
and that writers can only benefit by better understanding them
The suffix “graphy” in the word “geography,” he points out
means “to write.” He thinks of the word as translating to “the written earth.”
“I often think that going out into the woods
if we’re paying attention with all of our senses
“It’s a great wonder that human beings have known about for centuries and centuries
we’ve lost our knowledge of that book and lost our sense of belonging to it
The Tremont program is a way to get that back.”
This Turkish Ottoman sword dated 1807 was the top lot
slicing through its $1,5/2,500 estimate to achieve $31,750
— Tremont Auctions’ annual fall Asian arts and antiques sale on December 8 was successful in achieving strong prices for a variety of Asian antiques and decorative arts
with some items significantly exceeding their estimated value if they were rare or in superb condition
The auction house has a strong expertise in the Asian art market
especially with Asian specialist James Callahan at the helm
Callahan has a prodigious Rolodex of trade and private sources and always gets a good selection of items across different periods and regions
This particular sale featured choice pieces from an old Boston collection among the 505 lots offered
Chinese porcelain vases from this collection achieved significantly higher prices than their estimated value
totaled $385,825 with a sell-through rate around 80 percent
There were 162 successful buyers and about 30 live in the audience
Leading it all was a Turkish Ottoman sword dated 1807
which sliced through its $1,5/2,500 estimate to achieve $31,750
Featuring a wavy watered steel inlaid with a gold inscription and jade hilt
the weapon was further inlaid with Ottoman trophies in gold
It measured 36½ inches long and the blade inscription
deciphered and translated by researchers at the Erevan Institute of Archaeology
in effect] Melkon Agha the son of Amir Gaspar
1256 AD 1807.” It sold to a private European collector known to Tremont
An old Boston collection surfaced in an estate cleanout
contributing this large Chinese Kangxi blue and white porcelain jar/vase
With allover phoenix and floral decoration
it stood 24 inches high by 17½ inches wide
It rose to $25,400 against a $1,5/2,000 estimate
The overall sale offered a diverse selection of Asian art
The old Boston collection contributed a large Chinese Kangxi blue and white porcelain jar or vase
it stood 24 inches high and was 17½ inches wide
Its condition reported two tight hairlines on the rim; still
it rose to $25,400 against a $1,5/2,000 estimate
“This collection was from a couple of fellows who do cleanouts and know that we do well with Asian things
they brought them by and they were very good things,” said Buckley
A similarly strong performance was witnessed when a collection of approximately 40 Chinese antique coins crossed the block
A loss of objects in its hand and a sword that was bent at its tip caused a Chinese gilt bronze figure of Manjushri Namasangiti from the Yung Lo period (1402-1424) to miss its $20/30,000 estimate and finish at $12,200
Faring better was a Buddhist icon from the Korean Koryo period (Fourteenth Century)
which soared above its $800-$1,200 estimate
It depicted a standing guardian figure holding a sheathed sword
With an inscription upper right and framed under glass
This Korean Buddhist icon from the Fourteenth Century soared above its $800-$1,200 estimate
More of the old Boston collection came to the fore with Chinese porcelain vases
A pair of baluster vases from the early Twentieth Century featured an underglaze blue decoration of the immortals
They stood 23 inches high and commanded $8,540
A pair of Chinese Nineteenth or Twentieth Century examples with Hundred Deer decoration and deer-head handles took $7,930
A Ming period (1368-1644) Chinese cloisonné ewer in monk’s hat form was richly decorated with Buddhist stylized lotus scrolls and the “eight precious symbols,” as noted in the catalog
With heavy gilding and double vajra on the base
the 9½-by-8-inch ewer from a local collector realized $7,320
Prices quoted include the buyer’s premium as stated by the auction house. Tremont will offer a baseball collection in its next sale in January, with more Asian material coming in for a March sale. For information, 617-795-1678 or www.tremontauctions.com
