The DRAWING THE ENVIRONMENT program greets 2009 with a newly renovated, 800-square foot studio classroom; its historic 1905 carriage house on the Palisades.

Two Palisades residents, both of whom have suffered from tick-borne disease in the last few years, have drawn up a questionnaire about this community problem. They plan to write an article on the subject for an upcoming issue of 10964.

Because the authors ask for a separate questionnaire for each incidence of tick-borne disease, some residents may need more than one copy of the questionnaire. Attached to this article is a pdf file of the questionnaire, which is due by October 31.

At the top of the WISH LIST of the Palisades Community Center is the donation of DVD projector and screen so that we can hold film festivals and continue our Kid's Pizza & Movie Nights.

Can you grant our wish? Contact Carol Baxter at (845) 398-2521 or community.center@palisadesny.com

Elaine Smollin has created a new visual arts program called DRAWING THE ENVIRONMENT located within the Palisades Interstate Park at Alpine NJ in the historic Captain's House. The program offers landscape study through drawing.

By placing the studio classroom directly in the environment of the Palisades students may study drawing as it is practised in both fine art and archaeology.

My pots are always available at the pottery on Ludlow Lane. Call ahead (845) 359-5421 to be sure someone's there, or email me at jane.herold@gmail.com.

You can get a sense of the pots on my website www.janeherold.com.

To our friends and neighbors in Palisades: It’s time for a new Community Directory of the names, addresses and phone numbers of just our friends and neighbors. The last directory was published by the Palisades Presbyterian Church in 1982. It was an instant success.

Much has changed since those days. New families have come, others departed. We now have e-mail and cell phones. But much is still the same. We still view ourselves as a vibrant, colorful and cohesive community. That’s why we feel the time has come to publish a new Community Directory. The cost will be $7 per copy.

If you wish to be included, please fill out the form in 10964, enclose your check and mail to Lynne Sandhaus, 201 Route 9W, Palisades, NY 10964. We need the information listed below. Make checks payable to Palisades Community Directory. Thank you!

She is accepting True Beginners, thru Intermediate/Advanced students. In the near future, she will offer Saturday morning classes at The Palisades Community Center. From the words of her yoga students, "with grace and humor, Cynthia synthesizes a wealth of body knowledge into articulate teaching from both mind and heart."

As well, Cynthia has experience teaching Yoga in large corporate settings. Vice President John W. Sullivan (Great American Insurance Group) wrote "Cynthia has had a significant influence on the lives of many of my colleagues. I am personally aware of several who have succeeded with weight loss programs, experience far less physical pain in their daily lives, have a degree of flexibility or reach that had been limiting for 20 years or longer.Cynthia demonstrates many attributes…her pleasant demeanor, respect for individuals and their differences, her contagioius outlook on life and humor… it goes unsaid that Cynthia is a skilled Yoga student and a very effective instuctor".

Published at the end of June, Palisades and Snedens Landing: The Twentieth Century, is selling briskly.

I have recently noticed, with alarm, the number of people walking their dogs UNLEASHED past my house on Washington Spring Road.
