10 / 3 (event) Tivoli Free Library celebrates Banned Books Week Oct 3 Start: 7:00 pm What do Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, JK Rowling, Toni Morrison, Aristophanes, Chaucer, Daniel Defoe, William Shakespeare, Maya Angelou and Jack London have in common? They have all written books that have been banned, deemed unsuitable for public consumption. Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions, wrote Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas in his essay, The One Un-American Act. "It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us." Tivoli Free Library will join with other libraries nationwide to celebrate Banned Books Week (September 27-October 4). As part of its celebration of democracy and the embrace of the right to read the unorthodox and/or unpopular the library will host a free performance by stand-up poet and serial parodist Mikhail Horowitz and unapologetically French guitarist Gilles Malkine at 7 p.m. Friday, October 3. The duo have been performing together in the Hudson Valley and beyond since 1989. They recycle literary classics, adapting them to rap,blues, and other musical idioms; they perform unlawful acts of political satire, and spoof or pay dubious homage to various subgenres of traditional American folk music. They've shared bills and/or collaborated with Peter Schickele (P.D.Q. Bach), Ed Sanders (The Fugs), David Amram, Kate Pierson (The B-52s), and Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, among others. Their work has been featured on a dozen CDs and several NPR programs. This event was funded in part by Poets & Writers, Inc. with public funds from The New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. The performance is suitable for older teenagers and adults. It is free and open to the public. For more information, call Tivoli Free Library at 845-757-3771.

10 / 15 (event) Second Big Kingston Waterfront Proposal Public Comment October 15 Start: 6:00 pm Message from Scenic Hudson President Ned Sullivan: Second Big Kingston Waterfront Proposal Coming Up for Public Comment While we're waiting for the next step in the planning board's review of the Hudson Landing proposal (1,750 condos and townhouses on the city's last remaining open Hudson River waterfront - see below), a major project proposed for an adjacent waterfront parcel has taken its first step in the public-review process. Ohio-based developer, 771 Polaris, Ltd., is proposing 383 housing units (a mix of condos, senior condos, rental apartments and luxury townhouses) for 76 waterfront acres. The development is named Sailor's Cove, and the city's planning board recently accepted a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the project. Project caused concerns two years ago - still significant work to be done About two years ago the developer held some public-information sessions about the project. Residents and Scenic Hudson had a number of concerns then - and our initial review of the DEIS suggests that the plan still has a long way to go. The planning board required the developer to present a "traditional neighborhood design," sometimes known as neo-traditional. When done well these types of developments are walkable, livable and reflect the unique community character of where they're built. While the developer's neo-traditional design is a starting point, it needs reshaping. Scenic Hudson hopes that Polaris will make the neo-traditional option its preferred choice and that they will work with the planning board, residents and other stakeholders to improve the plan. The plan should rise to a level befitting the site's location - adjacent to, and visible from, a Scenic Area of Statewide Significance (designated by state government) and a National Historic Landmark District (designated by federal government). The design also should fit the character of nearby Kingston neighborhoods, such as Ponckhockie. Save the dates -- your action will be important. Our planning experts are reviewing all aspects of the DEIS and will be prepared to use every public meeting and comment opportunity to push for a project that will boost Kingston's revitalization and make the city proud. We'll share details with you to help you prepare to speak out at the public hearings and to submit your comments in writing. Your advocacy will powerfully impact the final result of this project. Public meetings Please note these dates and plan to turn out: Wednesday, Sept. 10 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15 6 p.m. Both at City of Kingston Common Council Chambers, Kingston City Hall, 420 Broadway. Update on Hudson Landing The planning board is expected in the next several weeks to release a draft final environmental impact statement (DFEIS) for this project proposed by AVR Realty. We'll keep you posted on any and all actions you can take in responding to the DFEIS. more info
