In the decades before urban renewal, the densely populated neighborhood was home to immigrant families from around the world, as well as African-American mi- grants fleeing the Jim Crow South. The bakery was a popular destination on Sundays when it was one of the few businesses open on the Christian Sabbath. In 2004, the last local descendant of the Reher family, Hymie Reher, willed the building to the Ulster County Jewish Federation for use as a community center or museum. Ownership was later transferred to a nonprofit, which has raised money to stabilize and restore the bakery. In addition to the bakery, the center features upstairs gallery space and room for exhibitions and educational programming. The center will serve as a conduit to tell the stories of immigrants past and present who have transformed Kingston. The decision to focus on immigration was inspired by Executive Director Sarah Litvin’s discov- ery in the bakery of an old paper bag with dozens of names on it — standing orders for Sunday customers — reflecting the cultural diversity of the neighborhood. “Building on the legacy of [the] Reher Bakery, I want the Reher Center to be a hub that draws together Kingstonians from different backgrounds to chat, eat, laugh and even cry as we share the dreams and struggles that brought us here, and honor the histories, ULSTER BOCES PHOTO cultures and communities that sustain us,” said Litvin.

The offense remains the final hurdle for Kingston, though Lis-Simmons said he wasn’t worried, especially after seeing his side play aggressively and fluidly through the Hartford defense. Sooner or later, he said, they’ll break through. “If the opportunities weren’t there I would be a little nervous, but we’re creating good opportunities,” he said. “We just haven’t found the back of the net. More things to work on in training, and hopefully from our standpoint we’ll get them flowing in.” For Stockade fans, the hope is to see the offensive tap open sooner rather than later, as after just two days off, the team heads out to the Aviator Sports and Events Center to take on the Brooklyn Italians on Wednesday, May 29, after this issue of the Kings- ton Times goes to press.

It gives me some mental respite from being miserable about the news or completely burnt out on the unfortunately can- scarcely-look-away-from-it sewer of Twitter negativity out there at present as we start the Russian Roulette (collusion pun intended) countdown to 2020. Did you know Jay and Silent Bob had a cameo on The Flash in Season 4? Well, shucks. How did I miss that? OK, let’s get on to the important stuff. New Jersey-raised songwriter Danielia Cotton is one of those rock artists who leaves a very strong first impression. People who haven’t heard her before are likely to be astounded that they hadn’t. An admirably fluid practitioner of the blues, rock, soul and pop schools, she certainly deserves household name status, With about a half-dozen full-length releases under her belt and not a dud among them (not to mention several EP’s, including one called Woodstock), Cotton is both prolific and leaves a powerful impression. In April, Cotton released one of her timeliest songs, the smoldering anthem “She Too.” Combining a mixture almost reminiscent of some of the bare bones rock of The Black Keys with more modern-era Bon Jovi — whom she has opened for before — Cotton has created a song that really speaks to the women’s empowerment movement. “I was not born a man but I can do anything he can,” she states. The song is less full of demands than that it is matter of fact about how women absolutely can have better plans for the world than the patriarchy. I liked how the title also acknowledges subtly the Me Too movement while skillfully and with a light touch underscoring how a lot of the patterns of disrespect women face in society start with a root cause of general inequality and grow more toxic from there. Basically what I am trying to say is that Danielia Cotton is cool as heck and that you should kick June off correctly by not missing her intimate upcoming show at Colony Woodstock, one of the most enjoyable, aesthetically pitch perfect and fun venues around, on Friday, June 7. One thing I love about Colony shows is that wherever you are in the venue because of the PHOTO PROVIDED layout of the room you have a hard time not having Danielia Cotton. a decent view of the stage.
