artistic indulgences at Catskill Art Society Shirley Irons & Jeri Coppola Artists Talk/Opening Recept.:May 18 Exhibition: May 18 - June 29 Against all we know about the artificiality of landscape, the man-madeness of it, there is a desire to escape back to that imaginary Eden, when nature was all and perfect.

Both Jeri Coppola and Shirley Irons use photography, painting, books and

American hair. Studying vintage photographs of slave women brought to America working in the fields, picking cotton, and tending the fields, it struck me there was a relationship between how they did this work and how they groomed their hair.

David Sandlin: I am exploring aspects of American history and legend that still haunt the present, including concepts like manifest destiny and American exceptionalism.

Sarah van Ouwerkerk & Lorie Novak Artists Talk/Opening Reception: October 26 Exhibition: October 26 - November 30 Lorie Novak: Above the Fold is a trans-media project where front-page sections of The New York Times from the beginning of the

Sarah van Ouwerkerk’s “Wave” Bobbie Oliver & Magaly Perez Artists Talk/Opening Reception: March 16 Exhibition: March 16 - April 20 Bobbie Oliver: The intent is to limit the color choice so as to focus more purposefully on composition, texture and quality of the paint on the surface. Each painting is individual but supported by a relationship to the others in the group.

Magaly Perez: My paintings begin, in one way or another, with my feelings about and observations of the natural world, abstract rather than literal.

Sullivan County High School Exhibition Opening Reception: April 27 Exhibition: April 27 - May 11 CAS Arts Center invites you to the opening reception of the Sullivan County High School Exhibition. Students in grades 9-12 from several districts in Sullivan County will display their work.

pening a clothing store wasn’t something Danielle Hilson initially planned on doing. Her family emigrated from France to Chicago when she was eight years old.

In college, she studied music and French literature, earning a bachelor’s degree, two master’s degrees and a PhD. In addition to her musical talents and literary knowledge, another thing was for sure. She loved to shop!

After several years of living in New York City, Hilson and her husband purchased a country home in Sullivan County. It was there that she saw a need for an affordable women’s new clothing store that served people’s everyday fashion needs.

She opened The ClothesLine in 2010, in Jeffersonville and it is now located on Main Street in Callicoon, NY. “Look good, feel good," is her motto, and she quickly discovered that customers loved her taste.

“I had no experience, and I learned from the ground up,” she says.

Something will definitely catch your eye at The ClothesLine. From stylish and size-inclusive clothing to gloves, boots (in winter), sandals (in summer), costume jewelry, bags (designer and non-designer brands), and more, the store has it all.

Many customers purchase their entire wardrobes at her store. And with so SPRING 2019

many choices, why would they go anywhere else?

Hilson is drawn to versatile items and has gained a reputation for carrying items that can be used for many functions, maximizing one’s purchase.

She travels to trade shows across the country, and brings items back while traveling internationally. “My store has things you won’t find anywhere else.”

One of her frequent international trips is to India, where she often finds treasures to bring back to the store.

When choosing clothing for the store, Hilson only gets one of each size so her customers buy something that will be unique to them.

She takes pride in working with customers individually, providing the personal attention that is so rare today making sure their particular needs are met.

“I want my customer feeling that she looks great and feels good in her clothes,” Hilson says. “It’s become my reputation.”

The Clothesline, which is located at the heart of Callicoon’s Main Street, offers a comfortable and spacious setting where visitors can satisfy all their fashion needs. Owner Danielle Hilson is always available and willing to assist customers in their search. From stylish items like the jacket and boots below, to the hats (at left) it is no surprise why many local residents buy their entire wardrobes –– no matter the season –– at the ClothesLine. Hilson loves to travel, and on her journeys she brings back items to the store, like these bags from India (opposite page).

THE CLOTHESLINE 27 Lower Main Street, Callicoon, NY 12723 (845) 887-3116 www.facebook.com/TheClothesLineNY/ The ClothesLine is closed in March, but will reopen for the first weekend of April.

SPRING 2019

In the winter they’re open on weekends.

During summer they’re open Thursday-Monday.

While visiting her shop, head upstairs to In2Retro, where you can shop vintage. Also, In2Retro has a colorful selection of Hawaiian shirts for men.

He had a dream to open his own restaurant. He’d often head to the Roscoe area to hunt and on one of these trips a building on the corner of Stewart Avenue caught his eye.

Now almost four decades later, the restaurant is a staple of the Roscoe community.

Raimondo and his wife Maria have been married 59 years.

When they first opened, she cooked all the entrees and Raimondo made the pizza. Now their son

Charlie, daughter Antonina and her husband Fortunato do most of the cooking at the restaurant. Raimondo and Maria’s grandchildren either work or have worked at the restaurant at some point. So... it’s a family affair.

Customer favorites include the Lasagna, Linguine with White Clam sauce and Lamb Shank. Raimondo’s also has an assortment of tasty appetizers, soups and salads, steaks, burgers and heroes, as well as more pasta, chicken, seafood and veal dishes to choose from. And you can’t forget the endless Pizza choices.

So why is their food so good? Because they always use the finest ingredients and the finest cheese. Much of the cheese and olive oil they use, as well as the wine and coffee served is imported from their home region in Sicily, giving visitors an authentic culinary experience.

“Don’t go cheap,” Antonina said. “We try to always please the customer. We always use the best ingredients. The secret to [great] cooking is when you make it by hand and from scratch.

We take no shortcuts in the kitchen.”

This includes making their own pizza dough.

Raimondo’s also likes to keep things fresh, with specials that change every month. At least one member of the family takes a SPRING 2019

trip to Italy each year in search of new ideas and to study the current Italian culinary trends.

The knowledge is then brought back and incorporated into their menu.

“What we try to create is simple,” Antonina says. “We try to create a family feeling, and when you walk in we want you to feel like part of the family and Italian culture. We want them to know they’re always welcomed back.”

The restaurant’s motto is an Italian phrase which translates to: “Without friendship life does not exist.”
