Publisher’s Column

by Barry Plaxen June is buRstin’ out all over!

And here are some interesting items our Vibrant Arts Community Creators have conjured up for your edification and pleasure: June vocabulary lesson: Scordatura (literally Italian for “mistuning”): a tuning of a stringed instrument different from the normal, standard tuning. It typically attempts to allow special effects or unusual chords or timbre, or to make certain passages easier to play.

Locavore: a person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food.

Summer-themed art exhibits in

Montgomery, Huguenot, Port Jervis and Pine Bush.

Unique musical event: Bandoneon concerts in Monticello and Narrowsburg.

Two 20th anniversary events in Milford (plein air art) and Highland Lake (theatre).

Overworked “Star” of the month: Jeffrey Stocker is involved with poetry in Milford, theatre in Port Jervis and dance in Shohola.

Synchronicities of the month: Saving Creatures: Live Raptors in Huguenot, Plight of Elephants in Newburgh... ...and Raptors in photos & poetry in Newburgh and Live in Huguenot.

World Renown/Major International Stars perform in Bethel (Neil Diamond) and Woodbourne (Stephanie Blythe).

Letters to the Editor Mary Endico’s work “Botanical Rain” on the cover of the May 2017 issue is like a kaleidoscopic slide into a kinetic cornucopia, yet somehow the magical miasma of brushstrokes - seemingly light and random as if placed by the damp feet of a sparrow after a spring rain - emits a stillness that is the essence of peace amid the warring distractions of modern-day life. I sent a comment to Mary and she kindly invited me to her gallery in Sugar Loaf to see the painting in person and hear its history. This I shall surely do.

- Patricia M. Daly, Warwick For the past several years, CANVAS is my ‘go to’ publication for cultural happenings in our region.

CANVAS is a wonderful clearing house for arts activities - your ‘centerfold at a glance’is the best. I use it to fill our personal calendar (sometimes to my wife’s consternation) with exciting events right here on our home turf.

I look forward monthly to retrieving my

copy at the Tuscan Cafe in Warwick. Your efforts are appreciated.

- Russ Layne Thanks for the notice in the May 2017 issue...already had two reservations from someone reading CANVAS - from Monticello.

People read your paper. They rely on it.

So do we!

- Paul Ellis, Actor’s Workshop Ensemble Thanks so much for the very nice article you put in for the groundbreaking of the Run 4 Downtown Park stage!

You even have a picture of the band Tangent, in spite of the fact that I was very late. The whole issue is very nice.

Thanks again!

- Darryl Wilbur Every last issue of CANVAS was gone at the Chorale’s concert! It is such a valuable resource for events in our area! Thank you!

Cinema at The Hurleyville Arts Centre

by J.A. Di Bello

Hurleyville, home of the prominent Hurleyville Arts Centre, served once as an escape destination from the clatter and chaos of a large city. As an eminent star of Sullivan County’s Borsch Belt, Hurleyville was a scheduled stop on the much celebrated O & W Railroad.

For here in this snug hamlet tucked away in a petite corner of the Catskills there continues a notoriety of unlimited dimensions. The Hurleyville Arts Centre has quite fortunately partnered with Heidi Latsky, a celebrated principal dancer for Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance (1987-1993), and an internationally renowned choreographer. She, as the Centre’s contributing asset, is an astute performer with expertise in the areas of theatre, music, dance, and film. A perfect fit for the multi-dimensional intentions of the Centre.

A cultural interest of this writer is the complementary concept of cinematography, or better said for this article the art of cinematography. In that general topic there are several familiar categories. The fictional FilmNoir of the post-war European cinema stands out as memorable. Victtorio De Sica’s Ladri di biciclette remains fresh and as vibrant as the never ending rain.

The genres and subcategories used to categorize film seem almost endless. And it was the wars, all of them, that contributed heavily to the importance of the documentary film, frequently used to exclusively deliver the element of reality and subsequent awareness to the film’s central concept or theme.

A prime example is the made-for-television series, Victory at Sea. Memorable by itself, the accompanying music by Richard Rodgers and Robert Russell Bennett contributed heavily to its lasting power. In the development of film as art, the influence of a musical sound track was just beginning. Today, there are complete radio programs dedicated solely to the partnership of John Williams and Steven Spielberg. The list of co-conspirators continues.

Under Heidi Latsky’a unwavering hand, the direction and the impact of intelligently written and edited documentary film are demonstrated, as vividly brought to life by May 20th’s screening of They Shall Not Perish, the narrative of the Armenian Genocide. As a

documentary it acquaints the viewer with the human race’s outrageous history of brutality. Further, and as with numerous other examples, this film educates in the sense that so many people deny the existence of such genocide.

Sound familiar?

Further, the fact that George Billard, the film writer and director, attended the screening and subsequently provided additional evidence to the importance and concept of recording, educating people through the art of cinema.

In the immediate future, the Hurleyville Arts Centre will feature two additional screenings.

On June 2 & 3 at 7:00pm, the well received film La La Land (for adults) will be screened, followed by Happy Feet 2 (for kids and families), on June 3 at 2:00pm.

The Hurleyville Arts Centre is located at 12 Railroad Avenue, Hurleyville. For information, visit www.hurleyvilleartscentre.org or call 845-707-8047.

Harpsichord, Strings & Bandoneon in Monticello & Narrowsburg J.P. Jofre, who plays the bandoneon (similar to an accordion), has been repeatedly highlighted in the New York Times and praised as one of today’s leading artists by Great Performers at Lincoln Center.

Jofre has taken his form of contemporary tango to venues around the world in Asia, Europe, America and the Caribbean as a soloist and a composer. His music has been recorded by sixteen-time Grammy Award winner Paquito D’Rivera., and choreographed/performed by ballet star Herman Cornejo, the Principal Dancer of the American Ballet Theatre.

“Giants” Stride into Newburgh!

Mussorgsky

Brahms

Ger

The Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra (GNSO) Music Director Russell Ger brings his inaugural season to a largerthan-life conclusion with another themed concert - this time appropriately titled, Giant Footsteps.

“The idea of Giant Footsteps finds a literal representation in Edvard Grieg’s famous In the Hall of the Mountain King from his Peer Gynt Suite,” explained Mr. Ger. “Excitement builds as we hear Peer racing faster and faster through the halls, in a desperate effort to escape the deadly giant trolls. The theme is then expanded conceptually to include Jupiter from Gustav Holst’s The Planets.

Jupiter is the celestial giant of our solar system, but unlike the scary giants from Hall of the Mountain King, Jupiter is described as the Bringer of Jollity, with music that is both stirring and upbeat.”

Modest Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain provides the image of yet another giant footstep because, as Earth’s natural

Greig

Holst

giants, mountains serve as a terrestrial representation of the idea.

The program’s final offering is Brahms’ Symphony No. 1. “Brahms adds a whole new dimension to our giants,” Mr. Ger continued.

“After years of stalled attempts, when Brahms finally composed this symphony, he said, ‘You have no idea what it is like to always hear that a giant is marching behind you!’ He was referring to Beethoven. The Symphony’s music, which begins with what sounds like giant footsteps, ends in a blaze of triumph, which forever cemented Brahms as a rightful heir to the great Beethoven and a giant himself.”

Giant Footsteps will be presented June 10 at 7:30pm at Mount Saint Mary College’s Aquinas Hall (arrive at 6:30pm for the concert preview by Gordon Shacklett!).

For information call 845-913-7157.

An opening reception takes place on June 10 from 4:00pm-6:00pm at Gallery 222, located at 222 Main Street, Hurleyville.

The show runs through July 5.

DVAA: Ceramics+Photos+Mixed Media Realm Anthony N. Biancoviso has been working in ceramics for over 40 years. He taught pottery for many years at 78th Street Pottery in New York City. “My recent body of work grew out of my intention to explore the interplay between form, volume, surface textures, light, and shadows. The sculpture is inspired by the asymmetry found in nature’s stones and rock formations, plus the human form,” says Biancoviso.

“I’ve been taking pictures since I was 13,” says PBS cinematographer Ed Marritz.

“I decelerate the world as it’s normally seen. What was water might become flame, or vapor, or clouds, or whatever your imagination whispers to you.”

Realm, a two-person exhibit of ceramic sculpture by Biancoviso, and photography

by Marritz will be held at the Alliance Gallery in June. “The solidity of Anthony’s carefully formed 3-D ceramic work harmoniously compliments Ed’s black and white enlargements of an assortment of water-washed surfaces,” says gallery director Rocky Pinciotti.

An Artists Talk will be held in the gallery on June 13 from 5:30pm-6:30pm.

On Location in the Pines & Other Places Theresa Hackett uses diatomaceous earth, actual fossilized remains of diatoms (a

type of hard-shelled algae) as her ground for paintings. “When added to gesso it makes a palette of many shades of a putty color,” she says. “I find this color to have a transparency and a physicality that allows the painting to be constructed in a tactile but minimal way. It is a material that reminds me of my first time painting with water on cement as a child, a temporal state that fascinated me.”

On Location in the Pines & Other Places is a mixed media painting installation

by Hackett in the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance’s Loft Gallery. Hackett will show a select group of paintings and drawings made over a period of years, depicting nature in a symbolic way.

Both exhibits will be on view at the Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg from June 2-24 with a reception on June 2 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.

May I Have A Word With You ...

Quips, Quotes & Quiddities with Carol Pozefsky E PLURIBUS UNUM A computer store tutor corrected me the other day when I asked for help with a camera problem I was having on my phone.

“You know...it’s really not a phone, it’s a computer that can make calls,” he said.

Of course, he was right.

What I call my phone is my daily newspaper, calendar, sports, stock, traffic and weather station, bank, mail center, shopping center, entertainment center, encyclopedia, foreign language interpreter, music source, GPS, recipe file, alarm clock, pronunciation guide, and on and on. I hear you shouting, “Don’t forget it replaces the typewriter, the phone book, the calculator, the flashlight...!”

If you’re straddling a few generations, you never cease to be humbled by the wonder of it all.

MARRIED TO THE MOB In his book Brief Encounters, old-time talk show host Dick Cavett writes of his good fortune having crossed paths with the dazzling star couple Elizabeth Taylor (married 8 times) and Richard Burton,

(husband 5 and 6).

The superlatives were legend; super wealth, talent, good looks and fame. But, for those who might want to trade their own drab existence for the lives of the Burtons, Cavett cautioned bluntly that, in addition, they were “drunks, spouse dumpers, pill takers and adulterers who had endured health horrors throughout their lives.”

Burton, who could put away three bottles of vodka in a day, suffered from hemophilia and epilepsy and died in his 50’s. Taylor endured three hip replacement surgeries, a brain tumor, life-long scoliosis, congestive heart failure and much more. A British obit was headlined: 8 Marriages, 50 Movies, 2 Oscars, 100 Operations.

Vilified for her excesses, Taylor won accolades for championing efforts to combat the AIDS epidemic. Dame Elizabeth’s children, (but none of the husbands), were at her side when she passed away in Los Angeles in 2011 at the age of 79. Taylor and her last husband, construction worker Larry Fortensky, had gone their separate ways five years before her death.

42 Years of Dedication & Commitment to Our Community

by Sharon McKane Elaine Giguere began her creative journey in Maine, where she studied all styles of dance. Her heart remained true to her art when she decided to search for a college where she could major in dance. Adelphi University in Garden City, NY, offered her the major she sought. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Dance from Adelphi, Elaine moved to Manhattan where she started teaching and performing at Brooklyn Academy of Music. Though she loved the discipline of ballet, she fell in love with modern dance. Giguere did what she loved for years; danced, choreographed and taught her way through several music/dance schools and boroughs: Harvard University, Manhattan, Staten Island and Brooklyn and the American Dance Festival, formerly in Connecticut.

Then love came along: Elaine married Tom DeGaetani, who had an extensive background in the arts. Her husband loved the Delaware River, so they made the move from the city and in arrived in Narrowsburg and the Upper Delaware Valley in 1975. They changed the face of Narrowsburg forever by creating the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) in 1976. Unfortunately, Tom DeGaetani passed on in 1978. Inspired by her husband, Elaine

decided to stay and put the DVAA on solid footing. She figured she would stay a year or two and here she is 42 years later! What a commitment of love for the arts and the Delaware Valley!

“People came out and volunteered for the 1976 BiCentennial. The DVAA always had a board of 12-15 dedicated people. Now we’re up to 17.

I was always amazed at the commitment of the board and volunteers.

Within the context of the Bi-Centennial we organized an instant museum and DVAA took off from there.” She did practically everything to pull people out of the woods: evenings of music, short plays, films, readings and so on.

She got to know people’s talents and interests.

The organization became official shortly after the Bi-Centennial.

They held meetings in a storefront rental space, across from where they are today. In 1981, they purchased the Delaware Arts Center (DAC) building. Once again, Elaine committed to stay, this time for five years and then committed to another five years while renovations to the DVAA building continued.

The DVAA recently received a donation of a

concert quality grand piano; it proudly sits in the Gloria Krause Recital Hall of the DAC. Inspired by local artists, Elaine stayed on at the DVAA procuring grants since 1984. In 1989, with a HUD Grant and partnerships with Tusten Township and Sullivan County, work was temporarily halted on the DAC building in order to proceed with work on what is now called the Tusten Theatre. Since opening, Elaine Giguere, Executive Director of the DVAA, shepherded close to one thousand performances!

After 60-hour work weeks for forty-one years she is retiring in her forty-second year!

“It’s time to pass the baton to Ariel Shanberg.

What a pleasure it has been working with creative people over the years. I know that my wonderful board is planning a retirement party for me on June 17. I know about a video, I know it’s a dual fundraiser and a presentation, but that’s all I know. They throw me out of the room every time they need to discuss their plans,” said Elaine.

Congratulations on your retirement, Elaine.

Everyone at CANVAS thanks you and wishes you well!

Fairytales for Kids Happy Birthday Florence Foster Jenkins Many a story begins with the worn and thread bare phrase, consider, “Once upon a time.” But the story of Florence Foster Jenkins is one that more appropriately should begin with a not so hackneyed expression.

How about, “You’re not going to believe this, but...”? And to fill the void: “...but it’s true!”

The honest story of Florence begins with her birth in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 1868, to a rather well-off family. As a young girl Florence had an affinity for music. She studied piano and voice and gave several recitals, even performing once at the White House. Although her father frowned on her desires to become a musician, her mother was more sympathetic and actually encouraged and assisted her daughter with grandiose dreams of becoming a noted vocalist.

After a failed marriage to Frank Thornton Jenkins, Florence moved to New York City, Manhattan. Although specific details of the marital turmoil and the ultimate break up are sketchy, it can be gathered from existing evidence that she contracted syphilis from her husband, Frank. No doubt the circumstances of the disease did little to cement their mutual

attraction.

There are apparently several Florence, to realize her ailments that can contribute to quest, took voice lessons and Florence’s problem. There is a after a time sang at recitals in legitimate condition known as Manhattan and other places. a bad ear.

The real question when viewing doses of mercury and arsenic, to combat the the life of Florence is to determine if friends dreaded illness.

Take your pick of the causes, but the film and “fans” were simply humoring her, and there is the suggested possibility that she is quite accurate, considering it’s Hollywood herself wrote glowing letters to periodicals slant. But what she was able to do with her praising her performance.

Meet Me at The Forestburgh Playhouse As one might imagine, there’s hurly-burley goin’ on and a cloud of dust about the scurrying feet of Franklin Trapp as he and his team prepare for opening night of the 71st season at Forestburgh Playhouse. Yes, it very well may be the Miracle of the Forest, but miracles of all sizes require the sweat of physical exertion teamed with a disciplined amount of emotional energy. It’s not easy, but Franklin makes it happen.

Including the children’s theatre production of Madagascar, the schedule this summer boasts of eight main stage productions. Opening night, June 13, is reserved for the award-winning mastermind of fast paced comedic mayhem, Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) and his mystery theatre thriller, Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery.

That said, the ambitious musical season launches with Funny Girl, a musical bio slightly inspired by the famed Fanny Brice, who began as a singer-actress of the Brooklyn vaudeville scene to headline the Ziegfeld Follies. That well-known and oft’ enjoyed gem is followed in the season by two Disney musical classics,

Jesus loves you more than you The Little Mermaid based on will know.” the film of the same name and With reference to what Newsies! the riveting musical does happen in those days of story of the successful newsboy preparation for the summertime strike of 1899 in New York miracles, Franklin as the City. Child labor and newspaper Producing Artistic Director, was hawkers never looked snappier! asked to account for what seemed And if Broadway musicals like an expanded search for local are the ingredient that contribute talent. “I think what was different to youthful vitality (or is it this year, was that we have been virility?), either way or both, the Franklin Trapp able to build a reputation over productions scheduled for August are just timed to cause the summer season at the past 3 years of being an exciting and fun Forestburgh Playhouse to be a toe-tappin’, place to perform. For the past three seasons I sing-along winner. Bye, Bye Birdie is a story have been involved, we have cast at least 75 of fifties, rock ‘n’ roll, with its glorious clichés local kids, teens and adults in our productions. and a clever word play with the name of I think the word is spreading!”

The process of local auditions this year “Conrad Birdie” the main character. Crazy for You, The New Gershwin Musical! is exactly seemed to have a greater emphasis than in that, and few get better. “Who could ask for past seasons. Franklin commented, “We were looking for really talented local actors - adults, anything more?”

The main stage finale, The Graduate, is a teens, and kids that could perform in some really clever adaptation of a classic novel and cult exciting shows. We also held our auditions for film. This bittersweet adult comedy presents the first time in the Seelig Theatre at SUNY Mrs. Robinson, Elaine and an interesting view Sullivan - which made the experience really of the American Dream, family friends and the smooth, professional and fun. Many thanks to 1960s. “And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson. Jessica Barkl at SUNY Sullivan!”

In addition to the fine selection of Equity actors for productions on the main stage, there is also the ResCo, the resident company. This extremely talented group is composed of young men and women who are completing academic degrees in theatre. They attend some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country, from Maine to California. This year over 1,000 performers were auditioned, either at their respective colleges or universities, or at the StrawHat auditions in NYC, where multiple theatres are able to view and hear candidates.

“The group we ultimately cast must be strong singers-dancers-actors - triple threats, as we say in show business!,” adds Franklin.

In closing, consider the ever changing environment that is Sullivan County. There will be population shifts, business alterations and of course the new casino in Monticello.

Franklin’s astute and justly confident observation: “Remember, the Forestburgh Playhouse has survived 71 years - through and beyond the Borsch Belt Days. We plan to keep growing, improving, and offering the highest quality, professional, live theatre in the Catskills!”

Originally from Spain, Lana Privitera graduated in 1983 from the Fine Arts School of Zaragoza. After working in advertising for a few years, she moved to the U.S. in the early ‘90s. Lana’s detailed and colorful watercolors of New Jersey farms and towns won her many awards and some of her pieces were also accepted in national juried shows.

During those years she performed frequently as art judge and critic, as well as workshop teacher and watercolor demonstrator for local art groups. She is the current curator for the Pine Bush Library and a signature member of both the New Jersey Watercolor Society and the North East Watercolor Society. Her work features a hyper realistic approach with vibrant color and a delicate treatment of light.

Long Island native Nancy Reed-Jones received her classical training at the Huntington Art League, where she became a well-established oil and acrylic painter. She owned her own mural business for many years before devoting time to teaching her skills at the Wallkill River School (WRS).

Nancy uses art therapy to help a wide range of students, helping people in addiction recovery, and even using Immersion techniques to help alleviate pain in cancer patients.

Wallkill River School: Three Solo Shows

“Winter Shadows” by Lana Privitera

Nancy holds an ongoing acrylic workshop and teaches all skill levels from the absolute beginner to the advanced painter at the WRS. Relaxation techniques and soothing music are used in her workshops. Her work is best described as romantic and expressive in nature, with a visible influence from both the French impressionists, and the early American Hudson River School painters.

Jim Laurino began painting marine subjects in his early teens, which eventually led him to study painting and color theory at the University of Connecticut. Over time, Jim formed a more lasting interest in painting landscapes, particularly, the challenge of plein air painting. Jim found that the result of his work on location was less contrived and richer in content compared to his studio work. To this day, all of Jim’s studio work is

based on studies done in the field.

Jim’s plein air passion led him to travel to participate in regional exhibitions, festivals, and competitions. He has received awards at several plein air competitions, including first place at the WRS’s very own Hudson Valley

See work by Nancy, Lana, and Jim in solo exhibits that will be on display throughout June, with the reception held on June 3, from 5:00pm-7:00pm at the WRS, 232 Ward Street in Montgomery. During the reception, both Nancy and Lana will give live demos of their painting techniques.

“Come Paint With Me” Celebrates 20 Years!

The arts have always placed foremost with award winning artist Joan Polishook. Teaching through the arts was a useful component in her former work with children. Today, this same philosophy helps her to add expertise and encouragement to the many artists she has come in contact with through her involvement as volunteer curator of a gallery, and as founder and facilitator of the plein air program, Come Paint With Me. Since 1997, the program has reached out and attracted artists of all ages, expertise and stages of accomplishment, reaping the benefits of first hand experience working in “Mother Nature’s Studio.”

“Come Paint With Me grew out of an idea that I had when I asked some artist friends if they would like to share my enthusiasm for painting outdoors. I could not have guessed then, that a simple invitation would eventually grow into a such a successful and viable program.” From young adults to seniors citizens, the numbers in attendance have increased each year with artists coming from miles in and around the tristate region. The seasonal Thursday meetings see artists arrive at the selected sites toting wagons full of brushes, paints, sketchbooks, canvas, easels, chairs, sun umbrellas, water bottles - and of course, the brown bag lunch.

Come Paint With Me encourages the participation of serious young artists, some who have had the opportunity to join the mix

at Come Paint With Me Kids where special guided sessions aimed at painting what is seen, becomes for most, a new experience.

Grey Towers in Milford has included Come Paint With Me in its interpretive programs since the program’s inception. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Come Paint With Me, a welcome event will be held on June 29 at 9:30am in the Visitors Gazebo. The 2017 season kickoff will be hosted by the US Forest Service Staff at Grey Towers and the Grey Towers Heritage Association. There will be speakers, art and history displays, refreshments and gift packages. The remainder of the morning will be devoted to plein air painting on the grounds of the Pinchot Mansion. An open invitation to artists and friends, this will be a rain or shine event.

The 2017 sessions will continue into September with visits to other selected sites.

At the end of each season, every artist is invited to exhibit and offer for sale their works through the generosity of local gallery and museum coordinators. “With enthusiasm, I look ahead to each new and exciting day in the great outdoors, renewing old acquaintances and meeting new folks who boldly step out with me to paint on nature’s vast stage,” says Joan.

Kudos to you, Joan!

Whispering Pines: Cooking with Chef Douglas Frey PIZZA’S HISTORY! Pizza has becomeAmerica’s favorite food over the past 50 years. Millions of pizza pies are eaten daily! The common belief is that Italians invented pizza; however the origins go back to ancient times. Babylonians, Israelites, and Egyptians were eating flat, unleavened bread cooked in mud ovens. The bread was much like a pita, which is still common in Greece and the Middle East today.

The lower class of Naples, Italy is believed to have created pizza in a more familiar fashion. In the late 1800s, a baker named Raffaele Esposito was believed to have created a dish for visiting royalty. The Italian monarch King Umberto and Queen Margherita were touring the area.

In order to impress them, Raffaele chose to top flat bread with food that would represent the colors of Italy: tomato, mozzarella cheese and basil. The king and queen were so impressed that word quickly reached the masses. When the news got out that the Queen’s favorite pizza was topped with tomato, mozzarella and basil, she not only became an even greater hit with the public, but also started a trend for the Pizza Margherita that has lasted in Naples and around the world to this day. The end results were that the dish was well received to the extent that others began to copy it.

Well, enough history! Here are some of

From Nature to Art to Music: Summer Camp Season is Here!

FREE SPIRIT NATURE CAMP Founded by Kate Fox and Ed Helbig and a supportive team of gifted and enthusiastic educators, the Birch School has created a unique and compelling environment for children at Free Spirit Nature Camp, a summer day camp. The camp continues to offer exciting learning opportunities for children each summer. “We have observed the process of true discovery that develops when a learner is interested and curious about what they are doing. We have seen the mastery of skills that occurs when children are genuinely engaged in activities. We have often discussed what this might look like in a year-long program.”

The camp has been engaging children with outdoor skills, arts and crafts, music, nature study, folklore, green lifestyles, primitive technology, canoeing and cooperative games.

The camp nurtures balanced confident, sensitive children with a deep awareness of our connection to nature. Through hands-on experiences, children ages 4-15 are encouraged to explore the earth and all her treasures.

The camp’s location on the working historic Kezialain farm offers the opportunity to observe and participate in gardening, farm animal care and seasonal activities that are the focus of life on the organic farm. Activities such as fire building, shelter construction, tracking techniques, plant identification, over-night camping and outdoor cooking are highlights of

Matrix: stepping outside of time and space allowing for infinite possibilities. Wellness definition.

Matrix Energetics® is a complete system of transformation that produces observable and verifiable changes which can be taught to anyone. Matrix Energetics encompasses a new state of being, a new way of experiencing the world we live in, and a more expansive way of accessing new possibilities - a consciousness shift.

“While they both work within the same field, the difference between Matrix Energetics and Reconnective Healing (which I use in healing sessions because it goes into the person’s field and facilitates a healing to whatever degree they are open to and need, allowing a healing to unfold on all levels of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) is that Matrix Energetics accesses different frequencies allowing for a specific thread of vibration to come through for healing,” explains Rock Tavern Energy Practitioner and NY Licensed Massage Therapist Debra Sheafe.

“The matrixes exist because they are part of the universal field that we all have access to for shifting our vibration and healing, becoming more whole, stabilizing our frequency.

“According to modern (quantum) physicists, all reality can be described as vibrations and waveforms where everything is light and information. We chose the matrix name because we enter into a unique morphic field when we do this work. One can imagine it much like a lattice of information, and one learns to reach into the lattice and change that information.” Dr. Richard Bartlett, ME founder.

Matrix Energetics is a powerful standalone system but it also easily works with other modalities such as massage, body work, chiropractic, acupuncture and any other system of healing both traditional and modern.

Throughout the history of mankind, there have been many different energy healing modalities practiced around the world.

Rich cultural traditions, evolving scientific knowledge, and a deepening understanding of spiritual life have forged these techniques over time, for the benefit of us all.

Meet Bradley Diuguid of Shadowland Stages!

by J.A. Di Bello It’s summer! Well, almost summer. And in the Catskills and to be exact at Ellenville’s treasured playhouse Shadowland Stages there will be celebration. It’s the 33rd year of Shadowland’s practice of delivering quality, live theatre to the area. As this celebratory season begins, recognize theatre’s potential to provide concepts ripe for expansion and contemplation. Theatrically, the art of comedy is a convenient and known vehicle with the capacity to contribute to the process. Peter Ustinov, writer, dramatist is reported to have said, “Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.”

And comedy it is, not exclusively, but the list of plays booked for Shadowland is “a little funnier than usual,” says Producing Artistic Director Brendan Burke. And there are purposes here, as gently hinted by Ustinov.

The plays, as expected, are new to Ellenville, but so too is Bradley Diuguid, who is the theatre’s new Executive Managing Director. He is experienced in all facets of stage production, including the important area of finance. He replaces Jon Wojciechowski, whose unexpected death a year ago saddened this community and theatre.

To Hell With Don Giovanni!

Mozart’s achievements in opera, in terms of beauty, vocal challenge, and dramatic insight, remain unsurpassed.

Don Giovanni librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, who led an adventurous life in Venice and Vienna, also collaborated with Mozart on Le Nozze di Figaro and Così fan tutte. He later emigrated to America, where he became the first professor of Italian at New York’s Columbia College (now University).

The city of Seville in southern Spain,

where Mozart originally set his opera, was already famous in his time as a mythical world of winding streets, hotblooded young men, and exotically beautiful women sequestered behind latticed windows.

The Met’s production places the action in an unnamed Spanish city in the mid-18th century and will be “encored” on June 24 at Noon at SUNY Sullivan in Loch Sheldrake.
