how we roll allicoon is the place to be on Sunday, June 10 as their annual tractor parade is set to excite again! The parade begins at noon, and lineup could start as early as 8 a.m. The unique parade creates an amazing spectacle as participants strut their tractor’s stuff, showing off vintage to high tech models. In a revised version a quote from American Author Sheri L. Dew, they’ve been driving tractors almost as

connecting with C stones

ome to Wurtsboro, NY, “the jewel of Sullivan County.” A town that’s transforming with its old integrity, into a new age community. Crystal Connection is in an 1890s church in the center of town, surrounded by yoga studio, vegan restaurant, health food store and some anchors of the town, Canal Town Emporium and Danny’s Restaurant. At Crystal Connection, you can find one of the largest crystal collections in the northeast, offering the biggest variety of material from all over the world at the lowest prices. These stones will help heal your physical, mental and spiritual needs and growth. They started off as just a crystal store but have turned into a crystal destination by many. Crystal Connection gets to be a foundation for many spiritual seekers on their path. They love when they come in to touch and experience all that the mineral kingdom has to offer. The Church it-

self creates a very unique atmosphere coupled with their knowledgeable staff, creates a very calming and sacred space to feel, heal and connect. They thoroughly enjoy seeing people’s faces as they walk through the door in awe and wonderment, so excited to be there. Crystal Connection also loves helping people find the right stone for their purpose so they can have a mineral experience. Come on in and ask for the Tourmaline Test, and they’ll show you how crystals work. Karynn has been with the store since the beginning. Her in-depth knowledgeable of crystals is by far more advanced than most authors. Combined with her own take of what they are and how they interact with each person, she is a great asset to all customers coming in. Tiffany, started four years ago helping with inventory and moving her way up with mineral understanding. Her growing love for the crystals, has develCONTRIBUTED PHOTO

oped a sense and knowing of her own, allowing her to come into herself. She has been rewarding for the store with her organizational skills, and has become an asset as the store manager. Travis being a co-owner of Crystal Connection, totally aligns his life with the mineral kingdom. His enthusiasm, understanding and wisdom of the crystals, leads him to be a go to person for anybody that wants to know how a particular crystal will harmonize in a person. He and Tim harmonize on the belief that minerals are alive and, if used correctly, can benefit many facets of life. Tim studied with Isidore Freedman in a

teaching called the Study for the Society of Natural Order, and to get his own life on path, he strongly went into transformational work. He has a strong understanding of the body and mineral connection and is the original founder of the store. In his belief, he never shyed away from buying the best of the best of stones, giving you a selection that is hard to believe without you seeing it. His mission statement is to have people understand themselves. In closing, Crystal Connection has transformed from a great crystal shop to a mineral destination. They also have the best of the psychics, intuitive work and healers of all kinds, with classes being held throughout the season. With open arms, Welcome to their world.

fresh + flavor by Joseph Abraham he word “fresh” is thrown around a lot in restaurants today. But for Jon Westergreen, fresh is more than a term...it’s his unwavering commitment to sourcing local. The menu at his restaurant, The Kaatskeller, on Main Street in Livingston Manor, NY, is filled with several flavorful options, many of which contain ingredients grown, raised, or foraged on his farm. The Kaatskeller specializes in wood-fired artisan pizzas, including "The Manor" (Neversink Farm arugula, roasted red pepper, aged prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, San Marzano tomato and 10-year Modena balsamic vinegar). The pizzas blend traditional Italian “OO” flour and organic New York milled wheat, adding an irresistible taste and texture, differing from the typical doughy feel. Another tasty pie is The White Album (House made wild ramp & kale pesto, bacon jam, Sherman Hill Farm Chevre, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, fried egg and broccoli shoots). Pizzas can also be made vegan or gluten free by request. If you’re feeling creative, you also have the option to build your own custom pizza!

THE KAATSKELLER 39 Main Street, Livingston Manor, NY 845-439-4339 www.thekaatskeller.com/ Open 5-9 p.m. Thurs, Sun and Mon; 5-10:30 p.m. on Fri. and Sat. 16

The restaurant is starting a new promotion. Monday night is now Industry Night! Once you get off work, head over and get your choice of a 12-inch wood-fired pie and a craft brew for $15. The Kaatskeller also offers a “Take Away Special” where you can get three cheese pizzas for $25. Call directly or order online through Slicelife.com. If pizza isn’t your thing, other delicious options on the menu include skillet meatballs, cider wings and wood-fired cedar trout. Also, patrons have been blown away by the Superfood Caesar salad, which mixes wood-fired organic curly kale, curried chickpeas, scratch made vegan Caesar dressing and vegan parmesan cheese. The restaurant offers a variety of experiences. You can take in the great Catskill summer by sitting outdoors. If things get chilly when the sun goes down, step inside and relax by the wood stove. If you’re in the mood to mingle, head upstairs to the “K” bar and be social. There you’ll be able to try one of several house cocktails CONTINUED ON PAGE 18 M AY / J U N E 2 0 1 8

Wood-fired pizzas, delicious entrees, special drinks and tasty salads are just a few reasons to head down to Main Street in Livingston Manor and visit the Kaatskeller.

designed by Apotheke NYC or enjoy an assortment of craft beverages produced at local breweries, wineries, and cider houses. Christopher Tierney has successfully opened and designed bars and restaurants across the country, directing the design and buildout of the Kaatskeller. He added elements of glamour and glitz inspired by the heyday of the Borscht Belt era to the Kaatskeller. Westergreen explains that, “If you’re looking for a taste and experience of the Catskills, we provide it.” He added that The Kaatskeller is shaped by four pillars: food, service, value and experience. “We’ve tried to raise the bar on all those key levels,” he said. Want to beat the crowd? Reservations for inside table service can be made directly or through Opentable.com. Walk ins are always welcome to enjoy the outdoor garden seating. While in town, make sure to head across the street to Main Street Farm, which Westergreen opened eight years prior. A market cafe, Main Street Farm takes pride in being a purveyor, preparer and seller of fine locally grown and artisan food. You can enjoy a variety of soups, sandwiches, salads, coffee/espresso or shop for locally produced goods.
