Salvaging Creativity

Left: H i s t o r i C a l H u m o rCreative re-use of salvage provides fun and functional public art.

Right: 2 1 s t C e n t u r y B l a C k s m i t H Sells’ welding torch as modern-day fire in the forge.

Patrick sells is an alchemist: a collabora-tive visionary transforming the rubble of industry into re-imagined creations with both use and beauty. His passions include reclamation, history, and sustainability, three elements that make up quite a potent creative fire. A quest for materials brought him to york. “In one afternoon I had the sort of connective, inspiring ‘back stage’ kind of experience that I’d never had in {his native} Baltimore. I realized that there were so many interesting people here making something of this little town.”

Sells trained as an engineer, but found the gritty three dimensional world of indus-try’s bits and pieces more satisfying. Work-ing with salvage is a way to re-envision what once had function and structure,

and is now ready for a new chapter. “I’m a storyteller in a way, only the objects are in physical form.”

Collaboration and teaching also fuel Sells’ fire. Watching the evolution of an idea becoming whole with the vision and skills of others excites his imagination more than working on a solo vision. Sells and his business partner, Casey Tyrrell, work with architects, artists, makers, and clients to create inspired public art, furniture, fittings, lighting, and signage. Sell’s long-term vision for his work is to teach, and to create a space in york where the elements of his art can be practiced hands-on by both youth and adults. “We want to create an unconventional classroom, where learn-ing happens in an experiential, exciting

way. Give access to the kinds of space, materials, and tools that you just can’t have in a school metal shop or your garage.”

york is the perfect environment for the practical magic of Sells’ artistry and the goals of Salvaging Creativity. “People are still making things here. york has something really unique. An identity and history that is still so real and intact.” The connection to the past, and also a commit-ment to the future are what compelled Sells to settle in york, and what encour-ages him to stay.

A “local” is the place where you go to eat, drink, and meet with friends that is as fa-miliar as your own kitchen. A place where you can count on consistency of service, food, and atmosphere. A place to belong.

White Rose Bar & Grill is local. Grown from a tiny bar and diner in 1933 to a full-service restaurant and catering busi-ness with three bars and multiple inno-vative menus, the White Rose has always been a family affair. Three generations

serving up not only food and drink, but a sense of community as well.

“Our customers are family too; we see many of them several times a week. The White Rose feels like a big comfortable house, where people are always coming and going,” says owner Tom Sibol. And he should know. Hands-on seven days a week, Tom lives and loves his restaurant business. His enthusi-asm and commitment is reflected in great food, happy customers, and loyal staff.

What do environmental geology, tax law, and craft beer have in common? you could think a while on that one, but let’s make it easy: Scott Eden, owner of Holy Hound Taproom.

Scott is a man with a love of beer—good beer, great beer—and it’s a passion he real-ized that he wanted to share. The practice of law didn’t suit him anymore, and in his travels he had visited and enjoyed many craft beer bars. The idea to own a bar took shape in his mind. Turns out it’s been a great life change. “I grew a beard, let my hair grow, and just became the person I really was all along.”

Holy Hound is a welcome addition to the downtown york landscape, as the crowds and empty kegs indicate. The beer selec-tion is spectacular, and the simple, tasty food rounds out a perfect evening with friends over a pint (or two).

“I wanted to go all in with craft beer with no bull.” No question. For Scott and york beer enthusiasts, Holy Hound is a dream come true.

hilary Arthur grew up in York, where childhood was summer days endless with play; a “safe, wonderfully unstructured life.” But any small town girl longs to try her wings, and Hilary’s flight landed her in New york City for college and then a great job, new husband Gregory, two daughters: a fabulous life. So, why leave? And why york?

“Things changed when I became a mom. I loved living in Brooklyn, but life was in-credibly hectic. It is amazing how Gregory and I can have a better work/life balance living in york, and own a house – which would have been much more difficult in Brooklyn. He was born and raised there, so leaving the city was an adventure. And my

extended family is here; when we started looking at it, york just made sense.”

The residents and businesses in central york posses a thriving sense of community. Grass roots groups are committed to the arts, to fostering entrepreneurship, to both pre- serving history and moving forward with innovation. Living downtown is the sustain- able choice on many levels: adaptive re-use of buildings and land, opportunity for small businesses, and a walk-able lifestyle that offers daily interaction with neighbors.

Hilary loves the accessibility of residing downtown. “We walk to the library, mar-ket, and restaurants. When I walk to those

places, people know me. And it’s a great way to teach my kids to be comfortable out in the world. In this really structured life of modern childhood – play dates, lessons, preschool – those kind of spontaneous social interactions are important.”

Hilary and Gregory agree that york has much to offer young families. Housing is more affordable, and there is space to think outside the box professionally. Living downtown includes the best of both worlds: the buzz of life, change, and growth, yet a snug small town feeling and a solid connection to history. For the Arthurs, their new life makes them want to dance… or jump for joy.

hilary Arthur didn’t plan on creating her professional ideal when she and her family decided to move to york from Brooklyn. In fact, Hilary wasn’t sure what she would do in her home-town, but she knew that she needed more time for her girls and a balance between career and home. Hilary’s passion for fashion wouldn’t stay dormant for long, and her blog Arthur & Daugh-ters was born, expanding quickly into a website and an online boutique.

Hilary’s next step – a bricks-and-mortar store – will be realized early in 2013. Located near the

Central Market, at 49 N. Beaver St., the store will be up and running by late Feb-ruary. The retail space will include vintage and con-signment luxury fashion for women, new collections by emerging U.S. design-ers, and a line of locally produced dresses for girls. “It’s so amazing… coming to york has given me the freedom to be the involved mom I want to be and pur-sue what I am passionate about professionally.”

“I love shopping for consignment and vintage clothing. Arthur & Daugh-ters offers women easy access to special, one of a

kind items, which ensures that you won’t be wearing the same pieces as everyone else in town!” Hilary knows what she’s doing when it comes to women’s cloth-ing: she left an impressive career in high fashion sales for the likes of Escada and Calvin klein.

Arthur & Daughters is an example – springing up all over york City – of passion meeting possibil-ity, and is one of the things Hilary and her family love about their move to york. “There’s so much going on here, especially the down-town. It’s exciting to be a part of it.”

“It really started clicking for me then that I want-ed to be involved in york City and start making it better.” Josh’s goal was to attract tenants who would also want to constructively contribute to the city.

working toward non-profit status and has had a huge impact on the neigh-borhood. Many of Josh’s projects involve additional investors, who are invalu-able in supporting his vision for what york City can be. He looks to the long game, has the patience to plan far in the future, and the enthusiasm to see it through. “This has always been social entrepreneur-ship for me. Long-term thinking. How to positively affect the community, not just make money.”

06.21 : 07.22Relationship rodeo! Now, I know you’d rather be in the stands with a cold beer and a hot dog than in the ring riding bulls, but that isn’t nearly as exciting as being down in the dirt and cow snot. Like it or not, dear little crab, the Universe has enrolled you in a course of relational physics that is going to be burbling away in your meta for some time. This is not to say that gloom and despair awaits you in the relationship world. Quite the contrary – I’d say odds are good for meeting some of the most spectacular karmic companions ever – but you’ve got to be a big boy/girl and get into the arena. Meanwhile, honor the creative juices that are flowing, even if you feel you don’t have time. The more you express your true self, the happier all of us will be.

07.23 : 08.23yes, love, you are still fabulous. yes your hair looks wonderful – and I love the out-fit. Oh, I see some interesting opportuni-ties for exploration in new social venues – perhaps some you’ve been considering for a while. My advice, pick the ones that speak most to your soul rather than your

even – shocking! In this great age of cynical atheism – get some? That’s the meta; in the everyday world you may be feeling your re-sources and ideas expanding and bringing in some dosh. Oh, and relationships? keep trying… I know, I know… it’s time to feel your feelings and face your fears – not your favorite, but no one can endure the storms like you. Now is really not the time to stand stubbornly, all alone, in your field. yield to your urge to merge, and do it responsibly, deeply, and well.

05.21 : 06.20Gosh twins, 2012 was a busy little season, even for you. Are you fascinated enough? Stretched 99 ways? Feeling a little manic? As the Cosmos has been massaging your identity and squeezing the heck out of your magnificent brain, I wonder if some old patterns have gone by the way? Work is certainly looking like it needs a change, though it may not be quite clear yet how you are going to play it. We may be in one of those times, Gemini, where you must ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country… society needs your brains and your ability to multi-task right now. Opportunities will knock. In all areas of intimacy – be it money, sex, or your cozy relationship with the IRS – you need to be responsible and pay attention to the details.

fuzzy little ego. The Universe may be unexpectedly flinging you to far-away places, or maybe you want to get that master’s degree, finally. Well – get on with your bad self! Meanwhile, your inner emotional children may be rampaging; it’s time to get them settled down. Listen to your inner cubs. Don’t try to pretend they aren’t there, that’s not good for your health. Which brings me to how tired you are feeling. Sleep, supplements, exercise, and alone-time. Must do. And I predict you are about to get quite inspired in the bedroom – just start early so you can get your beauty sleep.

08.24 : 09.22Honey, you aren’t ever going to get that novel written if you don’t get yourself some discipline. Let go of the details and let the magic flow. your creative life is un-dergoing a serious make-over for the next several years, so pay attention to old ways that want to die and new ones that want to come forth. There really couldn’t be a better time to put your message out in the world, Virgo. Meanwhile, relationships are looking very interesting. We’ve got two energies at play: first, you might receive unlooked-for and totally unique oppor-tunities for business partnering. Second, there’s plenty of energy for, hmmm, shall I say, imaginative friendships or affairs of

03.21: 04.20I know you’re no navel-gazer at the best of times, but the next three months are go-ing to require a bit of self-reflection, Aries. This relentless identity quest you are on is good for a few years yet, so meanwhile pay attention to dreams, the niggly bits in your brain, and dare I say it, your conscience and/or your gods. No one likes the good fight more than you, but make sure your battles are really worth waging. What the world needs now is your newly defined courage and passion. The Universe is also asking for a little sobriety on the career and reputation front – what plate do you need to step up to? Now might be the time to bust a very big move, one that may find you with some incredible new tribe. PS: the Cosmos is watching you – spiff yourself up a little!

04.21 : 05.20No getting around it bulls, the heavens are probing your souls with fiery implements. you might feel a little like you are participat-ing in an alien abduction, but I forsee new freedoms ahead if you are willing to surren-der to the process of some soul stretching. It’s a great time to examine your beliefs, or

greetings fellow travelers! Our keyword for the next three months is opportunity. We’ll all have unlooked for offerings coming our way, so make sure when the Cosmic waiter is passing the hors d’oeuvres tray you actually take what you want off of it. Eyes, ears, and psychic antennae open my dears – we’ve got to be paying attention.

nightnight

crag rather than stuck on a ledge crying, “who am I?” All right, a little self-inquiry never hurt anyone; try to look at it as in-ner productivity, as opposed to wondering why nothing is getting done. your inner authority and wisdom is so needed at the moment, and the good news – yes, I’m getting to it – is that inspired new ways to work in the world are arriving. Pay attention to opportunities for partnering with groups. If you wanted freedom from limiting beliefs that your family may have implanted you with, now is the time to recreate your inner landscape. you may actually develop a new relationship to sassy, dear goat; though life may be very serious at times, I forsee you kicking up your heels.

01.21 : 02.18Though you may want to sit on the porch and work out all the banjo songs you are channeling right now, the Universe wants you to sort out your work life. Though you may be the staunchest realist, you may find yourself with yearnings to become a psychic healer, to study crystals, or even astrology. The Cosmos wants you cosmic, baby, and it’s no use denying that your intuitive gifts may be the biggest resource you will have in the coming months (if you must work out the banjo tunes, make it profitable). you will find words coming out of your mouth where you say – Is that me? – and ideas popping into your head that are simply, truly inspired. It’s time to accept that there is more to heaven and earth, Aquarius, than you currently grok in your own philosophy. What Hamlet says: “And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.”

02.19 : 03.20Don’t look now, but your ruler Neptune is in the house! Good thing you are so at home with the inspiring but oft murky realms of the Cosmic ocean, ‘cause y’all goin’ to be swimming. This loonnnggg visit by your ruler means a Divine retrofit is in store. your whole psychic orientation is shifting, and I invite you to feel all the feelings that are coming through. I see quite an expansion of who you believe you are. Meanwhile, there will be a need for some boundaries out in the world, and despite your penchant for escapism when the stakes get too high, the Cosmic papa wants you to be responsible to yourself and others. No small feat in high seas, but if you lay your support network and external structures in place now, when the big waves come you will be sure of keeping your feet.

Intelligence Office would like to see you work on your personal boundaries a little, and just how you are playing with your power tools. Are you sharing with others, or being a little, um, dominating? It might be time to use all that juice to start a crea-tive project – you’ve got a great window of opportunity to channel the muse and embark on a truly emotionally satisfying creative journey.

11.22 : 12.21I know you love the far horizon, dear, but may I suggest that the territory under exploration be your own psyche? The Universe would love for you to look at how you may have been dodging your feelings in favor of adventuring. I realize you don’t like getting bogged down, but if it is Truth you are after – and you do like a good spot of Universal Truth – look within, dear Sag. The incentive: the more you surrender to feelings, intuition, and the Cosmic tides, the more clear, organ-ized, and successful your work becomes! Inner clarity leads to outer strength, and I forsee amazing creative journeys ahead. Finances may have become tedious; yet all this emotional work really does help you define how you want to create and what your resources are. Great people are getting ready to enter your life – to inspire you with ideas and possibilities for partnerships.

12.21 : 01.20Good news, mountain ramblers! All this reformation of self is going to pay off. I re-alize you’d rather be leaping from crag to

the heart, but keep your wits about you. Don’t put anyone on a pedestal – or get on one yourself. Use your impeccable dis-cernment when it comes to the relational world, before you surrender to the love.

l i b r a

09.23 : 10.23Though you are no doubt feeling the relief of Saturn moving into Scorpio, I’d say you’re not out of the woods yet in terms of self-transformation, Libra. The Universe is very much asking you to decide who yOU want to be, as opposed to who anyone else might want you to be. No easy task – ‘cause I know you like to make others happy first – but really, love, it’s time. Feel your real feelings, suppress them… and ditch the troubling family of origin stuff that might still be plaguing you. your soul is calling for freedom. Any relationships that don’t support who you are gonna have to change, honey. This is good news! (Though I hear you groaning out there.) Some new relational opportu-nities might be dropping in – try to enjoy without hanging onto them. They might be amazing teachers, and they may just be passing through.

s c o r p i o

10.23 : 11.21Life is getting so juicy Scorpio – and if you’re honest that’s just the way you like it! And though I know you like to focus on the intimate other, it might be to your benefit to take a look at yourself and how you relate to the world. All kinds of interesting ideas may be coming to you – maybe you’ve finally memorized the kama Sutra, for example, and are enjoying contemplating your field of worthy players – but, we at the Universe
