845-247-0617.
Serving Ulster, Dutchess and Greene County Regions
Gutters are a vital part of your home and although they are not as noticeable as siding, gutters play the most important role in the health of your home. Of all the enemies posed by the elements, water is by far the biggest culprit. Poor functioning gutters are actually more of a menace to your home than no other gutters at all. If the water is not properly channeled away from your home, it will invariably be directed at your home. This is why having a new, properly gutter system is some of the best money you can spend on your home.
County-Wide Seamless Gutters, Inc. is a contracting company that specializes in the installation of seamless gutters and downspouts. We take pride in our work and our reputation. Our goal is to bring you the best quality service at an affordable price. We guarantee all work, and Leafproof is guaranteed for life! Call for a Free Estimate. We also offer work on sidings, window replacements, gutter cleaning, gutter guards, soffit & fascia.
Gutters available include: 5" Residential Seamless Gutters, 6" Commercial Gutters. Also available in Half-Round Aluminum, Copper, Galvanized, or Galvalume. Leafproof Gutter Cover System Certified Installer.
Facts About Gutter Covers:
- Installs onto your existing gutters
- Helps protect your roof from ice dams
- Leaves can't enter the gutters, but rainwater can easily go through
- Keeps leaves and debris out, eliminating clogged, over-flowing gutters
- Avoid ice buildup inside gutters and under roof shingles
- Eliminates the need to climb a dangerous ladder and clean your gutters
- Leafproof doesn't screw into the roof like other gutter covers, so roof leaks are eliminated.
Guaranteed for life!
Gutter And Cleaning Tips:
- Avoid flooded basement and damaged foundation by directing downspouts and water flow away from the foundation
- Remove leaves, acorns, sticks and other debris from gutters, so melting snow and ice can flow freely
- Clean gutters two(2) to three(3) times a year to avoid mosquito nesting, and clogged-up gutters and downspouts. An alternative would be the Leafproof Gutter Cover System, guaranteed for life!

The United Way of Ulster County announces the availability of free tax preparation services for low wageworkers making up to $44,000 per year (or less).
The services are available beginning Saturday, January 28 and every Saturday through to March 3, at the Hudson Valley Mall. Appointments are on the hour from 10 AM to 2 PM. For an appointment with an IRS certified volunteer tax preparer call 845-802-7190.
The effort is being promoted by United Way to increase access to the Earned Income Tax Credit, which can bring a low-wage worker and her family up to $5,751. Originally created in 1975, it is one of the best anti-poverty tools there is, but it is estimated that 25% of those eligible, don’t take advantage of it. Call today for your appointment.
The motivation behind our work is the belief that it is the right of every individual to ask for help, and to have it granted by compassionate, knowledgeable people. This mission is what drives us to ask those we know, and those we don't, to join us.

Below is a message from the Little Ones Learning Center in Accord. Please note that this free program for children ages birth through early elementary age rents space in the Rochester Reformed Church and is not a program of the church. Their site suffered significant flood damage in Hurricane Irene.
There was no flood insurance. In addition to raising all the funding necessary for program operations they need to raise funds to replace their losses from the flood last summer.
The books and supplies that were saved from floodwaters and from mold in the aftermath were rescued by the quick action and very hard work of dedicated LOLC volunteers. Without their hard work...some of it as flood waters lapped at the door, some later to empty the flood soaked site...included carrying about 3000 books upstairs and preparing a new room for programming.
LOLC is really dedicated to giving little ones early literacy experiences in the Accord Kerhonkson area where there is no public library. Please read their report below; perhaps you could help them a bit. This might also be a fine fundraising project for a youth group. Every contribution will help!
Thank you.
Susan Matson
Accord
The Little Ones Learning Center has received a $1,000 matching grant from a supporter of the program. We were affected by Hurricane Irene and lost books, bookshelves, carpeting, supplies and materials. We had to vacate our rented room in the basement of the Rochester Reformed Church and are still using a room upstairs while repairs to the church are being made. It has been a difficult time for LOLC as our books and materials are all in piles on the floor. The church has been working diligently to get repairs completed and we should be able to return to our room before too long. Any support you can give us will double with the matching grant and will enable us to get back on our feet more quickly. Contributions can be mailed to Friends of Little Ones, Inc. (our incorporated name), 5142 Route 209, Accord, New York 12404, or you may go to our website (www.littleoneslearningcenter.org) and make a donation through PayPal.

"This is a very challenging time in the economic history of the region and the state, and strong leadership of the New Paltz Regional Chamber is critical. Michael brings the skills, connections and experience necessary to effectively and ethically serve the Chamber's mission to promote the business, industrial, agricultural and civic interests of the Hudson Valley region," said Drouin. Outgoing president Minard will serve as Director of Special Projects, under Smith's leadership. The Board of Directors enjoyed Minard's full support during the search and transition period; all parties are committed to the preservation of the Chamber's vision and service to its members.

Smith was President of the Holden Home for 13 years, an adult care facility and licensed home care agency in Newburgh, where he was introduced to issues surrounding healthcare. He led the Home in a successful management arrangement with the Culinarians’ Home in New Paltz for over 10 years and also had a very successful newspaper column on healthcare issues.
Smith's background also includes serving as business partner and CEO for the J. & H. Smith Light Corporation in New Windsor, New York, a distributor of electro-mechanical indicator light parts for the Department of Defense and commercial shipbuilders such as Electric Boat, Newport News and Eaton Cutler-Hammer. The products were deemed critical end-use items for the Navy’s fleet of submarines, destroyers and other ships. He worked with many government and commercial agencies with product quality, delivery, sales, relationship development and fulfillment of all contract bid and awards for a period of 17 years.

HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley's Margaretville Hospital campus has been named one of the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in the country.
The announcement was made during the National Rural Health Association's (NRHA) 10th annual Critical Access Hospital Conference, which attracted 650 rural hospital leaders to Kansas City, Mo.
Sandy Horan, the Executive Director of Margaretville Hospital, said the hospital is pleased and honored to have been recognized.
"This acknowledges the hard work and commitment to quality care provided by our physicians, nurses, technicians and support staff," said Ms. Horan. "We are and always will be committed to ensuring that our patients have a positive and satisfying experience here at Margaretville Hospital."
The Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals, including Margaretville Hospital, scored best among critical access hospitals on the iVantage Health Analytics' Hospital Strength Index(tm). In this first-ever comprehensive rating of CAHs, the results recognize the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals that are the safety net to communities across America - measuring them across 56 different performance metrics, including quality, outcomes, patient perspective, affordability and efficiency. More information can be found at www.HospitalStrengthIndex.com.
"Rural hospitals play such a critical role in providing needed care to communities across America, yet the challenges are completely different while being as complex as urban hospitals. The need for benchmarks and a framework for success are equally important as hospitals brace for the impact of health reform," said John Morrow, EVP of iVantage Health Analytics.

HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley®'s Dialysis and Diabetes Education Center is now providing outpatient Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT).
MNT consists of evidence-based diagnostic, counseling and therapeutic services, designed to help CKD patients learn to balance food choices for kidney disease.
Rachel Carron, program coordinator for the Center, said diabetes and high blood pressure are the two leading risk factors of chronic kidney disease, which slowly deteriorates kidney function over time.
"The goal of MNT for chronic kidney disease patients who are not on dialysis is to maintain good nutritional status, slow down disease progression and treat complications," said Carron.
The Diabetes Education Center is located at 37 Albany Ave. in Kingston and provides education and training to children and adults with Type 1, Type 2, Gestational and Pre-Diabetes. It has been recognized by the American Diabetes Association for meeting high educational standards and features a free support group every third Wednesday of the month from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Alan's Affordable Computers is not just a store. At the heart of Alan Marker's work is his foundation, Computers4Needy (Website coming soon).
Computers4Needy refurbishes old computers and donates them to people in need locally and throughout the world.
We've undertaken a major collaborative to get computers into the homes of low-income individuals who need a more equal footing with others when it comes to the Internet.
"At first my goal was to donate computers to vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, because a lot of vets come home traumatized and with very little money," Alan said. "But then my mission evolved to help others who are also struggling. Computers help people gain an education, find a job, start a business, connect to the world, and make their voices heard."
As a Buddhist, our religion is simple, no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our own heart, our own brain is our temple, and the philosophy is love, compassion and kindness.
Donating your old desktop or laptop computer is extremely simple, helps the environment, and will make a big difference in the lives of people who are less fortunate.
And... donations are completely tax deductible!
Please help support our mission to help those in need throughout Ulster County and the World.
Thank you!

I am very pleased to announce the upcoming educational series that Mid Hudson Mycological Assn (Mushroom Group - www.midhudsonmyco.org) has been able to assemble for its members and for the public.
We have pulled together an educational series which I am confident will be of enormous educational benefit for foragers and mushroom fanatics from beginner to advanced intermediate skill level.
Course description: Many times beginners are shown a handful of mushroom species and told to remember them. Learning about mushrooms in this fashion leads to a "patchwork" knowledge base and leaves the student with a potentially keen sense of a few species and a very fuzzy, (if any) understanding of how/why mushrooms are related and how/why they are different. This course is designed to provide a "Top Down¨ look into mushrooms especially for intermediate and eager beginner-level mushroom collectors or naturalists who wish to enhance their knowledge of mushrooms which fruit in our area. Illustrated lectures based upon field characteristics will improve the student's knowledge of the biology, life cycles, ecology and rich variety of forms found in the Mid-Hudson Valley's macro fungi.
This event is open to members and non-members. I have included a link to the “Flyer/Registration Form for your use and for distribution to any and all that you think might want to attend. If you have any connections to social calendars, or any means of circulation/distribution, please do so.
The tuition will be:
$100 All Sessions (Non-Member)
$50 All Sessions (MHMA Member)
$30 Any Single Session (Non-Member)
$15 Any Single Session (MHMA Member)
MHMA Annual Membership is $15... hmmmmmmm...
(Extremely Affordable Pricing For The Educational Value!!!)
The location is the George Cole Auction Hall in Red Hook, NY... The Address is 7578 North Broadway (Route 9). The Auction Hall is in the Red Hook Business Park. The Business Park is right on Route 9, 1/8 mile North of the intersection of Rts 9 & 199.

Happy and Bob Dylan recorded three more duets, the classic "I Shall Be Released," "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," and "Down In the Flood,” for Dylan’s “Greatest Hits Volume 2” in 1971. Happy went on to make great records on his own, and in duo with his brother Artie Traum.

- Festival a Great Success!
Several thousand people attended the second annual Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice August 4-7, transforming Phoenicia into a hub of the vocal arts. Many thanks to all who attended!
Despite torrential rain over 1000 intrepid opera lovers came to see Don Giovanni on Saturday 6th August. Many mentioned that the storm only served to heighten the excitement and drama. We were honored that Ambassador Jim McLay, New Zealand's permanent representative to the United Nations welcomed guests and introduced the opera.
Four days of outstanding vocal events thrilled audiences. Rozz Morehead returned to Phoenicia to open the Festival on Thursday night and brought the whole audience of 800 to their feet dancing and clapping with unfettered joy.
Voices of Distinction introduced some fantastic young professional operatic artists to an enthusiastic audience. Lauren Flanigan wowed the crowd with breathtaking excerpts from contemporary opera, showing what an artist at the height of her powers can do.
Simon Shaheen and his musicians showed their exquisite virtuosity on the 'oud, voice and violin, and Justin Kolb and Friends presented a perfectly balanced program of six handed pianistic dynamite.
Phoenicia's churches, the STS theater, Mama's Boy Coffee Shop and even the Railroad Museum rang to the sounds of the human voice in its multi faceted glory. On Sunday well over 100 voices joined together for Vivaldi's Gloria in a stunning Grand Finale, capping off four never to be forgotten song filled days.
About Us:
The Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice promotes the human voice as an instrument of healing, peace and artistic expression through presenting world class performances of opera, baroque, world music, musical theater and sacred musical in Phoenicia, New York.

Dates for the workshop are June 29 - July 7. Ciociaria (cho-cha-REE-ah) is a mountainous region, 50 miles or so southeast of Rome, comprising towns such as Anagni, Piglio, Serrone, Fiuggi, Alatri and more. The region is known for its wine, the most famous of which is Cesanese del Piglio, produced in small batches by a collective of family farms, and not often found outside of Italy.
Guests of this workshop will have the opportunity to paint the Italian countryside with Campbell, who has been developing the workshop with family members who live in Serrone. Lodging will be at La Sonnina, an organic farm located just outside the medieval village of Genazzano.
Price includes 9 nights lodging, 6 day painting workshop, food, transfers to and from Rome airport, and transport to various sites of local interest during the course of the workshop, including a day in Rome and a visit to the local wine production "cantina sociale."

Stacie Flint Art and Commission Portraits
COMMISSIONED PORTRAITS
Please visit my website at www.stacieflint.com to view more of my PLAYFULLY VIBRANT EXPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTINGS AND COMMISSIONS, and contact me for more information. 845-255-2505, stacieflint@yahoo.com
Bio
Hudson Valley, New York artist Stacie Flint's oil paintings are collected in the United States and Europe. The images have been used as magazine covers, for children's book illustration, as an album cover, a drum set, and a stage set. Stacie Flint also paints portrait and public commissions. One of her portrait commissions is in the collection of Film Director Shawn Levy (Date Night; Night In The Museum). Recently she completed five large canvases for Ulster County Area Transit in Kingston, New York, which features staff and passengers of the buses. Currently, she has been selected to create a painting for inclusion in the forthcoming book, “How To Paint a Donkey”, from a poem of the same name by Arab/American poet, Naiomi Shihab Nye, and compiled by Scotswoman Louise Greig. Ms. Greig has chosen artists from the US, Europe and the Middle East for their expressive uniqueness, to paint their personal versions of donkeys.
Statement
My paintings reflect my life, which is a colorful, direct, playful narrative of ordinary daily moments, inspired by the fast paced suburban/urban lifestyle. In these vibrant expressionist oils, people, pets and things from my imagination appear isolated - lost in their own minds - but interact within a bold composition. Even if the figures sit quietly, they vibrate with energy. If larger issues are addressed, I would say that the works speak to individuality and self belief. Each pair of eyes, hands and feet differ in color and shape, emoting a feeling of “offness”, but retaining cohesion. The paintings evoke a feeling that it is good to be alive.

Training Begins February 4th; Limited Number of Spaces Available
Are you looking for something meaningful to do in the New Year and interested in making a difference in the lives of children? Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, or CASA, may have the answer.
The organization, which works with abused and neglected children in foster care in Ulster County, seeks individuals interested in becoming Advocate Volunteers. These volunteers are assigned by Family Court to work one-on-one with children in foster care. Volunteers visit regularly with the children to whom they are assigned, advocate for the child’s best interests and work with others in the child welfare system to ensure that children’s needs are met. The goal is to ensure that children have a voice, that they can heal from the trauma they have faced and, ultimately, that they have the love and guidance of a safe, permanent home.
A mandated thirty-hour training begins on Saturday, February 4th and continues through the month of February. Richard Heyl de Ortiz, CASA’s executive director, says of the training, “We are fortunate to have been chosen by the National CASA Association to be one of the programs to launch a new flex-learning model that combines classroom instruction with facilitated online learning. We are kicking off 2012 with this new model with three trainings - one each in February, June and October.”
Training, which is held at the organization’s office in uptown Kingston, is limited to 12. No special experience or prior education is required, but an application and interview must be completed before training. For more information or to receive an application, call CASA at 339-7543 or visit www.casaulster.org.
Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, also known as CASA, is central to fulfilling society’s most fundamental obligation to our children. Our specially qualified, compassionate volunteers guide and support abused, neglected and abandoned children through a time of great vulnerability, fighting for and protecting a child’s right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect and to thrive in the security of a loving family. Our goal is to ensure that children’s needs are met, to promote their healing and to keep the promise of that foster care be temporary. CASA was founded in Ulster County in 1987 and is one of over 950 CASA programs across the country. More information about CASA can be found at www.casaulster.org.
