Another GREAT NIGHT of DANCING

Friday, April 27 from 7:30-10:15 pm

Dance instructors and enthusiasts Harold and Betty Fried return to our small hamlet of Mountaindale with Sizzling Spring Salsa in Mountaindale, NY.

Dance Lesson: 7:30 pm.
Open Dancing: 8:15-10:15 pm. 

Fee: $12/person; $20/couple. 

Includes tea and snacks.  

Location: 62 Main Street

Mountaindale, NY 12763. 

This event happens RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS from my apartment, and can tell you these folks have a great time, and you cannot beat the entertainment value.  You can also grab a bite to eat right across the street before the dancing starts at the Mountaindale Inn, Mountaindale's first and oldest dining establishment and bar...they make a SERIOUS PIZZA.

Met Harold and Betty while taking pictures for the Vaudeville in The Catskills show over in Hurleyville a couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you two things...A) they are great folks, and B) CAN THEY DANCE...WOW! Make sure to mark the date, as it is sure to be a fun night.

Taxes Filed and Other "News on The Run"

First, do apologize for the lack of articles this week, but unfortunately more pressing life issues have held sway here...A) TAXES...uggggg...good news is they are officially filed, though have to contest what I feel was a wrongfully given 1099 MISC form I received, and B)  been getting prepared for a presentation to the "Town of Fallsburg" Board this upcoming Monday night at 6:00 PM...see below.  Please try to attend.

On Monday, April 16th, 2012 at 6:00 I will be officially asking the "Town of Fallsburg" to pass a zoning ordinance that would BAN FRACKING.  It is my understanding that Steve Vegliante and the board are more than willing to issue a proclamation against FRACKING, but that is inadequate.  If you oppose fracking, PLEASE ATTEND this important board work session meeting and SHOW YOUR SUPPORT for a zoning ordinance that would ban fracking in our community.  Also, please pass this message along to ALL YOUR FRIENDS. If you need more information or directions please call me on my cell at (845) 346-6523

The weather...Tomorrow beautiful, Sunday crappy and raining all day, and MONDAY...FABULOUS!  Can someone bring me over a chaise lounge so I can sit in front of my building and TAN TOMORROW...we are talking bright, sunny and almost 70 degrees.  By the way, great time to get tomatoes in the ground if you want to be one of the first in downtown Mountaindale to be slicing vine ripened maters!

Main Street observations...Time Warner was out and about today, their crew putting in what appears to be brand new internet service over at Janet's Radiant Yoga studio.  Sure her clients will be happy to visit a Yoga studio with WIFI capability.

Rumor has it...and at this point, it is just RUMOR that we here in downtown Mountaindale might be getting a convenience store...more on this HUSH HUSH story as it becomes available.

For those who are wondering...the Mountaindale Inn is officially opened for the season, and the first "Open Mic" night this past Wednesday was a HUGE SUCCESS!  If you want to stay current on events at our FIRST RESTAURANT BAR in Mountaindale, join the new Facebook Group!  Tell Kelsey that Sherwood sent you!  Hope too see everyone out again this upcoming Wednesday night, and remember...at the Mountaindale Inn, there is NEVER A COVER CHARGE on Open Mic Night!

Rumor has it that we have new banners coming...find myself wondering, what happened to the Banner Design Contest?  Seeing as the winnings from the "Train Garden" project from last year that Sullivan Renaissance awarded second place to are paying for these new banners, just wondering how it is that I missed the CONTEST? Who WON? Is the new town slogan suggested by our own talented local artist, Raymon Elozua  being incorporated?...so excited to see these banners appearing around town, and of course anxiously awaiting the newly rebuilt/designed flower boxes as well.  Mountaindale in late spring when the flower boxes are out really looks quaint, and of course the hanging baskets incorporated as a part of last summers winning Renaissance Project really made Main Street POP.

New Historical Signage For Rails to Trails Corridor

With all the new businesses in town, with all the talk of more coming, find myself wondering if any other local business owners and business people would be interested in forming a "Downtown Mountaindale Business Association"?  Thinking if we could get it up and running before next February that it would be nice to apply for a Sullivan Renaissance Beautification Grant since there seems not to be a project going on this year.  Love to see Anderman Oil, Robinhood Realty , Hospitality Green and some of our other major hamlet businesses such as the Mountaindale Inn run with such a project/business group.    With the newly finished "Historical Signs" and the almost completed brochure for our "Rails to Trails" corridor, this seems like and opportune time for such a group to come into existence.

One last local news reminder!....GIRL SCOUT COOKIES are coming in supposedly this COMING WEEK!  I already have my own case ordered, but maybe I should get a second one!

Christmas Is Coming and Monday "News on the Run"

Yesterday from around four till seven, there was hustle and bustle all about our Main Street as vendors hawked their wares (to few customers) in the Art Center, and Janet's Radiant Yoga Studio played host to a lot of guests there to donate some food to a good cause, and enjoy the showcased local talent gathered therein.  Spent a bit of time down in the art center myself and shopped with two of the five talented artisans.  Picked up a unique wine bottle holder for the kitchen table, and a beautifully rendered small porcelain plate in a rose glaze created by Kathy Jeffers that works well on the Christmas table.  The art center having artists in it looked quite alive and festive, and one set of windows in town stood out above the rest...snapped a few pictures, and including a couple here.

Afterwards a large contingent of participants converged on Uccelli Restaurant around the corner at 4 Post Hill Road where they were tempted with special treats (and prices), and if you listened from outside you could hear great laughter and merriment from within, the soft lighting of the establishment beckoning people to come in and join the fun.  All in all, the "Christmas Lights of Mountaindale" event was a huge success, and Janet did a wonderful job in creating this seasonal event.

The weather outside just six days from Christmas is stunningly beautiful...almost but not quite sweater weather with the sun melting off last night's frost on the windshields of the few cars parked on Main Street.  Potential chance for freezing rain on Wednesday, and we may yet see a white Christmas.

Monday "News on the Run"

Obviously, as we reported last night, the most powerful dictator in the world, Kim Jong Il is dead, dying of a massive heart attack while traveling on a train.  His death leaves a disturbing power vacuum in the isolated nation of North Korea...the only good news, is that China will continue to prop up this desolate outpost nation to avoid serious ramifications in their own troubled lands.

Payroll tax holiday in Jeopardy...in an odd way, for different reasons, happen to agree with Republican numb nut Boehner...lets stop playing chicken with the political process and make the tax cut extension last for the entire year...MINUS the early approval language for the Pipe Line project.  Obama once again caved, and it would be so nice if our president grew a set of balls so that his veto threats actually held some substance.

Swedish automaker files for Bankruptcy...I have always liked SAAB's....except when they have to go in for repairs which is far to often.  Problem is, there are not a lot of mechanics who can really work on these cars, but they are breautiful too drive, and would still love to own a 9.5 Turbo Convertible...black with black leather interior...sometimes, do wish I were a part of that one percent.  Especially when it comes to cars...my true love would be too own an old Bentley...say 1956-63 vintage.

In sad news, NASA has officially pulled the plug on Discovery, thus bringing to an official end America's Space Shuttle program.  It is scary too watch America slide from its position as the leader of the free world to the position of being just an also ran, and I wonder if we can ever get back to the heights we once knew as a nation.

News On The Run Moving To Mountaindale After Dark

The new daily edition of "News on The Run" will be moving over too the "Mountaindale After Dark" blog with tomorrow mornings edition per the suggestion of some of our readership. It is hoped that you will enjoy the content of both blogs, and the different perspectives and views found on both.

A Deeper Level of Stress Reduction with N.A.T. Sunday, November 20 from 3-6 pm

What is the Neuro-Auricular Training (or N.A.T.)?

A simple protocol to inhibit the trauma/panic response of the brain, which dramatically reduces stress and can positively affect nearly all systems of the body.

Five Therapeutic-grade Essential Oils, when applied with a specific protocol on a specific area at the base of the skull, can have a profound effect, often causing vast changes in various conditions. Panic disorder, anxiety, sleep disorders, inflammation, ADD/ADHD, anxiety and depression have been known to be relieved.

N.A.T is a simple, effective technique that can reduce significantly the stress response of the brain, and in turn, the inflammatory process, possibly the cause of many chronic disorders. N.A.T has been known to help regulate the nerve impulses involved with sugar-regulation, blood pressure, and even some stages of Alzheimer’s.

N.A.T may interrupt most stress-induced fear circuitry disorders, especially important for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Panic Disorder.

N.A.T affects both the Locus Ceruleus, deep within the brain stem, and the Vagus nerve at the base of the brain, which impacts all digestive organs, lungs, heart, eyes, ears, nose and the endocrine system. This technique also stimulates circulation of the cerebral-spinal fluid and lymphatic system. Participants share that the effect of receiving a treatment is profound relaxation (with the ability to still drive home.) When treatments are received regularly, certain disorders may be positively affected. Please see testimonial below.

What You Can Expect to Learn in this Hands-On Training:

• Understand N.A.T.'s purpose and function
• Learn how to give the basic N.A.T technique for stress-reduction
• Receive a healing session in this technique yourself
• In addition, you'll learn a variation of the N.A.T. technique for the reduction of depression

In addition, learn what additional oils Gary Young, creator of N.A.T., has used to successfully treat Parkinson's Disease.

Only Young Living Oils will be used in this class.

"Loving our animal companions as much as we do, we are always naturally looking for ways to make sure they are happy.

We can be open to messages and practical advice from them if we don't relegate them to just being a "cute puppy" or a "sweet kitten" for example."--Brenda Seldin

Night Life Abounds When The Gate Keeper is Out

11.11.11 Night life in Mountaindale is alive and well on this Friday night with the Gate Keeper not around.

At Radiant Yoga, Janet has it going on with a wicked cool healing bowl concert going on as this post is written.

The Mountaindale Inn has a good crowd as Tommy celebrates his 22 birthday...Happy Birthday DUDE...even if you did beat me in a close game of 501...yes, Ed has electronic darts. Special of the night in honor of Tommy's birthday..."Irish Car Bombs" for just nine dollars.

Uccelli Restaurant, Mountaindale's newest (and only) full service restaurant played to a nice group of folks, a good night assured when a table of eight sat down for dinner at 5:30...it was all hands on deck from that point on, and Star did her usual sterling job of keeping everyone happy and well fed as Chef Robert was kept busy in the kitchen.

Noticeable by the darkness of the office fronts was 51 Main Street.

Sullivan Striders Second Annual Rails to Trails Race/Walk Huge Success

This past Sunday, camera in hand, I was up and out of my camper at 6:30 in the morning heading into Mountaindale for the Second Annual Rails to Trails Run/Walk which started and ended in Mountaindale. The community was out in force to support the Sullivan Striders and the run, and a fabulous time was had by all!

The Mountaindale Fire Department was on hand, had set up cones to handle the traffic into and out of town, and the ambulanceman seemed like really nice folks. The Sullivan Striders had all their bases covered...great food on hand for their runners, plenty of water at the firehouse, and out on the trail, and more than adequate staff to handle the rush of people at the registration tables.

The race started a tad late, and for good reason...they were still registering people that wanted to run or walk our community's beautiful section of the trail that runs from Mountaindale to Woodridge.

Some of my own favorite highlights of the event included the students from Upstate Karate who seemed to have shown up in mass to participate in the event, all of them in their official Karate garb. Janet from Radiant Yoga leading those same students in some pre-event breathing exercises. Lastly, the awards ceremony, where it seemed like almost every participant received recognition, and a beautiful perennial plant from Manza Farm's nursery.

A lot of businesses sponsored the event, almost too many to mention, but one particular one stands out, deserves special recognition...Kohl's stepped up big time for the Sullivan Striders with five employees volunteering for the event, and the company making a very large donation to the event, so thank you Kohl's for being such an ardent supporter of the Sullivan Striders, our community, and the Rails to Trails.

All monies raised from this event are spent doing maintenance and improvements on the Rails to Trails, so thanks to everyone who participated! This year's Second Annual Rails to Trails event is over, but many of us are already looking forward to next year's event, are pleased that this event will be around now for decades to come.

May 22 Radiant Yoga Essential Oils Seminar HUGE SUCCESS

Last Sunday May 22, Radiant Yoga played host to Nandini Weitzman, a NY State licensed Clinical Nutritionist and Alternative Health Practitioner as she gave participants in her workshop some hands on experience in NAT (Neuro-Auricular Traning with Therapeutic Essential Oils). She shared the simple and safe techniques used for deep relaxation that many alternative medicine practitioners are using for panic, anxiety, sleep disorders. depression, inflammation, and even ADD/ADHD.

The workshop began with an information session, during which Nandini explained the techniques; identified the five essential oils; as well as the process of applying them with light pressure along the occipital (cranial) ridge, neck and shoulders to safely affect brain-related nerves deeply to positively impact digestive organs, lungs, heart, eyes, ears, nose and the endocrine system. The talk was both extensive, and informative, and the end of class handouts to take home were very welcome by all in attendance. Once this section of the seminar was over, she gave the class a demonstration of the oils and techniques and answered numerous questions from the audience.

At the conclusion of this part of the seminar, the participants were paired up in groups, with EVERYONE actually getting to both give and receive a Therapeutic Essential Oils treatment. This hands on exchange of treatments allowed the students to learn the techniques, experience the benefits, while at the same time reinforcing the afternoons lessons through actual hands on practice of what they had been taught.

If your group is interested in arranging a seminar you can contact Nandini directly via her email which is nandiniyes@hotmail.com or give her a ring at (845) 434-2408.

Janet at Radiant Yoga here in Mountaindale New York is to be commended for once again bringing a wonderful holistic opportunity to our community of Mountaindale and its surrounding area. If you would like to know more about her Yoga Classes, and other seminars, or are interested in having her design a special class for your group or organization, sure she would love to hear from you.

Get Belly Fit on Tuesdays

“Momma’s got a brand new bag” and it starts on Tuesday, May 3^rd at 62 Main Street in Mountaindale. The new experience is called Belly Fit. These classes will join the other already successful health & fitness courses offered weekly on Main Street. This includes martial arts at Upstate Karate of Mountaindale Sunday –Thurs, Zumba on Mon & Wed, and Yoga at Radiant Yoga on Tues & Thurs – Sun. But, what, one might ask is Belly Fit? These Tuesday night classes will be taught by Ahleana, who has been studying Middle Eastern dance for over 20 years. She has artfully combined gentle, light aerobic moves with traditional belly dancing techniques to create a fun cardio workout, set to Middle Eastern Pop music and rhythms.

Students will enjoy a warm up, stretching and learn invigorating choreographed combinations and routines. “Belly dancing,” says Ahleana, “provides not only body toning, but also an important connection to the dancer's inner femininity. There is the chance to bond with other women, to dress up, and to feel beautiful.” Participants should wear comfortable, slightly form fitting clothing. Jingly hip scarves are encouraged and can be purchased at the studio right before class. Sessions will run from 6:30 to 7:45PM and the class fee is $10/class. All of Ahleana's proceeds go to help animals in need of food or medical care. To enjoy this exotic art form as a way to exercise and build self-confidence, please call (845) 436-8945 to reserve a space in the Mountaindale Belly Fit first class.

Heart of Sound Harp Concert-Enjoyable Time Had by All

On Sunday February 6th, 2011, harpist Lindsay Perricone performed here in Mountaindale, New York at the Radiant Yoga studio located at 63 Main Street. The event include the opportunity for morning Yoga, followed by a scrumptious vegan brunch, with the concert started at 1:30.

Lindsay Perricone started the event off letting those gathered get UP CLOSE and PERSONAL with her two harps as she explained the inner workings of the instrument, and gave us all a brief history . Who knew a harp had so many working parts in it, or that most pieces composed for the piano are so easily adapted for this beautiful melodic instrument? Lindsay fell in love with the harp at the age of 14, and her love and passion for this instrument, which can trace its root back to Ancient Egypt, and the year 2500BC, was clearly evident in her 90 minute performance.

For the nine people in attendance, the entire event was a true treat, and we all want to extend our thanks to Janet from Radiant Yoga for making it happen. We also thank Lindsay Perricone for being such a great ambassador for this wondrous instrument, and all of us who attended look forward with anticipation to your first CD.
