eff Junction is a snazzy bit of wordplay, but it also absolutely defines this Jeffersonville, NY destination. The Main Street shop is indeed a junction for all sorts of artists, craftspeople and confectioners. And when you find that perfect something for that perfect someone, your purchase directly benefits the talent behind the gift. “We’re up to 75 vendors now,” Manager Colleen Chudik notes. They’re the reason owner Sue Davitt Flynn opened the Junction – to provide a permanent place where talented artisans could display their wares, instead of constantly schlepping between street fairs and community festivals. “The store is 90 percent consignment,” she

explains. “And the money that they make is theirs.” In the process, she hopes to revitalize her hometown. “Jeffersonville was pretty empty, and the ability to have many different types of merchandise in town under one roof will hopefully bring more people to Jeff,” Sue says. “Things are changing!” Jeff Junction has already changed the rather uniform tan look of Main Street. “If you stand at either end of town, everything is the same color,” she explains, “so I painted it blue.” The building itself was built in the early 1900s as the village’s first union free school and later moved piece by piece to its current

location. Today it’s a fascinating haven for the Junction’s slogan: “Local Treasures and Treats”! That’s thanks to the critical eye of Colleen, who in concert with Sue picks out every item offered for sale. “We see if it’s a good fit for the store,” Colleen explains. “I’ve gotten a feel for what ‘fits’ and what doesn’t ... but we give everybody a chance!” You’ll find old-fashioned penny candies just steps from hand-hewn tables commanding hundreds of dollars – and everything in between. “We have gifts for all ages,” affirms Sue. AUTUMN 2016

That includes items men and kids will find worth giving or owning, including forged iron tools and handcrafted chocolate. Sue points to a collection of waterfowl-oriented paintings that are already matted and framed, featuring the Federal Duck Stamp Print Series. Every sale of a print goes entirely to Ride2Survive, a local charity that offers free transportation to and from cancer patients’ appointments. Inventory changes regularly, too, thanks to weekly deliveries of fresh flowers and Beach Lake Bakery products.

take to the sky, or the picnic table story and photos by Dan Hust top by the historic Wurtsboro Airport, and you’ll find exploring the grounds is as fascinating as launching into the skies. This is the oldest soaring site in America, where gliders and their pilots have long practiced their graceful acrobatics above the Shawangunk Ridge. It’s that straight-edged mountain line, in fact, that defines the region and has kept the airport a favorite destination since its 1927 opening. Winds sweeping in from the west shoot up over the ridge, combining with thermals (rising warm air) to give gliders ample opportunity to soar high. Ready to try it out for yourself? Teenagers as young as 14 can qualify to solo pilot a glider, but it’s best to start out with a ride with one of Wurtsboro Airport’s pilots first. After the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog tow plane gets you airborne, you can sit back and enjoy the view while your Schleicher ASK 21 glider is expertly flown above the gorgeous scenery (especially so in the fall!). From just a few hundred feet above Wurtsboro, NY, you can view the stunning Catskill

It will soon be tied securely to a tow plane and pulled aloft, to gently soar above the Catskill Mountains. ABOVE: A variety of privately owned aircraft also use the airport. RIGHT: Several picnic tables invite visitors to relax alongside the runway. This one happens to be located between the airport and a 260-yearold cemetery. 12

But you don’t have to get airborne to enjoy this airport. The office and picnic table out front are a haven for aviation enthusiasts. “All pilots love to hang around airports, and they love to talk,” says Warren, who’s a commercial pilot and glider instructor himself. Want to just watch the planes and gliders take off and land? Pull into the parking lot and get out a lawn chair. Or check in with one of the friendly staffers, and they’ll likely give you permission to walk the grounds. You can stroll past up to two dozen different gliders and

Exhibit: Birds At Home, at Morgan Outdoors, in Livingston Manor, at 10 a.m. “Birds at Home” is an art exhibition exploring the relationships between people and birds – birds that are pets, farm animals, or visitors at a backyard bird feeder.

It includes paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures by these area artists focused specifically on the birds we see around our homes. Humans often have a more direct connection with birds than other wild animals, because we love their songs, enjoy their aerobatics, and compulsively watch them. Birds are part of the human experience, and this show focuses on the relationship between humans and birds – at home, in the yard, and in our imaginations. We emphasize that birds have real personalities, like humans! In addition, there will be several programs during the exhibition featuring bird-related activities in our region. Open until October 10. For info, call 439-5507 or visit www.morgan-outdoors.com. Exhibit: Adrenaline Honey, at Catskill Art Society, in Livingston Manor, at 11 a.m. “Adrenaline Honey” is an exhibition curated by Robin Winters entitled “Adrenaline Honey,” featuring artwork by Marianna Rothen and Mike Osterhout. Both artists and the curator have residences in the Catskills. Two artists from different generations present artwork in conflict with itself as well as its viewing audience. A passive aggressive beautiful anger and dissatisfaction is at play. “Play” perhaps is the operative word as the artists play with notions of identity, context and expectation. Both shocking and sweet in the same instance, “Adrenaline Honey” holds up the artwork of Marianna Rothen and Mike Osterhout to seize your curiosity without the comfort of interpretation. Curated by Robin Winters, the exhibition does not seek to make the viewer comfortable, but rather lives in the questions it creates. Continues until October 10.

Humans often have a more direct connection with birds than other wild animals, because we love their songs, enjoy their aerobatics, and compulsively watch them. Birds are part of the human experience, and this show focuses on the relationship between humans and birds – at home, in the yard, and in our imaginations. We emphasize that birds have real personalities, like humans! In addition, there will be several programs during the exhibition featuring bird-related activities in our region. Open until October 10.
