Most unusual. Reservations Suggested I’m not really sure how I came by this optimism stuff. I mean, how could Open for Dinner I, with so many friends out of a job? Thanks to the priorities of the larger Wednesday - Sunday corporations, who prefer satisfying shareholders with larger profits rather Sunday Brunch: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. than re-investing in America’s work force, national unemployment is Rated 1/2 by The Pougkeepsie Journal still in the 10% range. It’s stunning how callous politicians and media are 1746 Rt. 9w, West Park NY 12493 toward the unemployed lately, calling them lazy and parasitical; showing (845) 384-6590 zero empathy or even basic Christianity, no “there, but for the grace of www.globalpalaterestaurant.com God, go I” at all. It’s cut ‘em off, make ‘em get whatever minimum wage 0000092949 jobs are available, take away their food stamps, free ride is over, pal. It’s for your own good, ya bum, this government money robs your initiative, y’know. Since 1976 I have personally never known somebody who enjoyed unemployment, or used it as some kind of scam to fleece the government, and thus the HINEBECK taxpayer. Chances are good you haven’t either. Yet, you’d think these R “deadbeats” populated entire states, the way the senators and AM jocks NTIQUES squawk. “We just can’t afford it,” is the prevailing meme, followed by A “they don’t deserve it.” AIR� Oh yeah? Well, here’s some things we REALLY can’t afford, but manage F to: how about two senseless, expensive wars that will never ever be won 1976 in any conventional sense, that will only bleed the U.S.? Or continuing the Bush tax cuts, when restructuring those taxes back to Clintonian Columbus Day Weekend levels, (remember the budget surplus then?) could help national fiscal years2010 Presented by Bill Walter Shows, Inc. stability. Or allowing energy corporations to exploit and ruin land and water (and labor for that matter) indiscriminately for their own profit. 34 I could go on, but really, helping the unemployed is totally fiscally doable, and it would be morally wrong not to, whether someone thinks OCT 9 & 10 they “deserve it” or not. Saturday 10-5 & Sunday 11-4 But I didn’t come here to rant. No, I was winding back to the inexplicable on facebook and online at optimism thing. And I think I know why I feel it: it’s the people here. I’ve come to the conclusion that the folks of the Hudson Valley are really and truly there for each other, in a whole lot of ways. RhinebeckAntiquesFair.com How do I know this? Well, some of you might know that in my parallel ENTIRELY INDOORS ON Roll life alongside Roll I’m a professional musician, playing with a host of THE DUTCHESS COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS different regional groups. This year in particular, one or more of those 6550 Springbrook Ave, Rhinebeck, NY 12572. Just off Route 9 groups have been called upon to donate music and time to worthy causes Admission $9 This ad admits two at $8 each frequently, often twice a month. And I can tell you that every time, many good people show up, funds are raised for needy organizations and Taconic Parkway: Red Hook Exit, 199 West to 308, West to Rt 9, North 1 mile causes. People have been quite generous, even though some of the folks NY Thruway Exit 19: Rhinecliff Bridge to Rt 9G, South to Rt 9, South 1 mile attending were themselves not having the easiest time of it. FREE PARKING DELIVERY SERVICE FOOD COURT Though some benefits were for causes outside of the region (Haiti, The Rhinebeck Antiques Fair PO Box 838 Rhinebeck, NY 12572 845-876-1989 Gulf), most were for individual causes and the local service providers like Family of Woodstock and Queen’s Galley, which are staffed by incredibly giving people who really don’t care why you’re sick, hungry, and needing some assistance. They just give because it’s the right thing to do, and help make sure those who really need the help—be it food, shelter, job training, medical, what-have-you—can get it. These folks and this valley are the source of my precious optimism, which will no doubt be sorely tested by the screaming media in the run-up to the midterm elections. Think I’ll unplug the entire month of October. Ah, but the sun is bouncing off Bonticou today, our recent CSA vegetable haul was off the hook, with a crimson bounty of (un-blighted this year—yay!) tomatoes. There’s music wafting up from Rosendale— someone’s out at the park jamming. Really love it here, hope you do too. See you out and about! Chances are good it will be at a benefit somewhere. I’m the tall guy on the keyboards. With tomato stains on his shirt.
