Welcome to the

Historic 28th Annual

Taste of New Paltz

Wow, you guys! I am so excited we just got back from the Fairgrounds making our final layout

decisions for the 28th Annual Taste of New Paltz. We’ve discovered that we’re the original Taste festival in the state, 28 years of great times. How’s that for awe-some?

Driving around town, I am starting to see the apples pop all over, and it has me thinking of leaves changing colors, warm sweaters, back to school and, for sure, apple pies. Can you believe I started this job less than two months ago and I am hosting our largest event of the year? I’m just the host. I’d like to thank the numer-ous committee members who volunteer their time and energy to make this event so much fun and such a success. (So, thank you, team and my staff at the Chamber.)

New at the Taste this year we’ll be look-ing to your taste buds to tell us who you think is tops. There will be bragging rights galore. We are awarding Best of the Taste in three categories. Everyone will get to have a say!

We are also having our very first Apple Pie Contest, bringing in some big-time apple experts as judges. Yummy, right? We’ll be pouring a wide variety of craft beers. And as a regional chamber of commerce we want to give our amazing community of businesses an opportunity to showcase what they have to offer. So don’t forget to check out our business showcase, arts and crafts vendors, and super-fun expanded kids’ area.

I also want to thank you, the community, and friends from the region for coming out and celebrating all that is New Paltz! Dance around, snack on a churro, get your face painted (no age limit), chat

with friends, make some new ones, and most importantly just have fun. There is something for everyone. The day will fly by before your eyes.

The magic of a region coming together to celebrate all that’s delicious is not like anything else. I feel lucky to be a part of it! Keep an eye out for the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce. We are on the move and have much more in store for this community. Your business is our business, and we fully support that creed.

One final th ank you. On behalf of the board of directors, the Chamber staff and me, cheers to our generous sponsors, without whom this day would not have been possible.

Best, Jen

A letter from the

Ulster County Executive

Welcome to the 28th Annual Taste of New Paltz hosted by the New Paltz Regional Chamber

of Commerce. This is a great venue to experience the Hudson Valley’s fine cuisine, agricultural displays, and visit with a variety of vendors while enjoying the entertainment throughout the day.

Every year the Taste of New Paltz exceeds expectations, and in addition to offering an exquisite array of culinary fare, this family-friendly event is a great place to hear live music, view beautiful art, attend the business showcase, and enjoy the day. As County Executive, I am pleased to let you know that Ulster County’s marketing campaign, Seek For Yourself, encourages visitors to seek out and create their own unique experiences in Ulster County, whether it is based in adventure, culinary, relaxation, history or a combination of them all. With that in mind, you are in the right place at the Taste of New Paltz, where you can sample some of the finest food and beverages from the region’s amazing restaurants, caterers, brew masters and wineries.

The Taste of New Paltz would not be possible without the New Paltz Chamber of Commerce and the outstanding job they do fostering valuable relationships between the business community and tourism, while strengthening civic and community interests for New Paltz and the Hudson Valley region. We are fortunate that the New Paltz Chamber of Commerce assists in attracting businesses to the area by creating and supporting the business environment, helping businesses to succeed, improving the local economy and the quality of life in the community.

For the kids, tooBy Giada Labate

The Taste of New Paltz. A unique celebration of a unique place. However, it’s all very … grown-up. This might be well

and good for those poor teenagers who consider themselves aspiring adults, but what about things for us kids?

Kids should have fun at social events, too!. (Arguably, kids should be having more fun than adults, but that’s beside the point.) And adults should be able to expect events where their kids can have fun by themselves.

Have no fear, parents pulling your kids along. There are many fun activities for kids, large and small, at the Taste of New Paltz.

Yoga in the Yoga Tent at 11 a.m. is the first fun and unique activity actually aimed at teenagers and adults. The Yoga Tent is free for all who want to participate. Though it is geared mainly toward teenagers and adults to relax and work out stress, the younger kids are welcome. A yoga instructor will be provided for the younger kids.

As a New Paltz karate student, I know how much fun that activity can be. It’s a good self-defense learning experience for kids of all ages. I highly recommend you kids of all ages visit the New Paltz Karate demonstrations at the Taste.

Sunflower Art Studios promotes creativity in kids of all ages. As a little kid and even now as an older kid I have loved creative art. Most other kids I know do, too.

Once Upon a Tea Party, which is a story acted out before your child’s eyes, has a special place in kids’ lives. When I was a little girl, I never tired of stories of princesses, superheroes and storybook characters. Seeing actors and actresses bring these stories to life adds a magical dimension to the experience.  

But what is Taste of New Paltz for if not for taste? Kids are offered a unique variety of foods, including those different from what their parents might want to eat. Regardless of adult preferences, kids are allowed to taste whatever foods that

they might want to at the Taste of New Paltz. As a kid who loved and still loves food, I know this food freedom will be well enjoyed by kids of all ages.

Whether you’re a parent who wants your kids to enjoy themselves separately so you

can have some time off to enjoy yourself, too, or a kid looking for something fun to do at the event your parent dragged you along to, I can confidently guarantee you that there will be something to make you very happy at this year’s Taste of New Paltz.

A tasty treat for allEveryone wins in an apple-pi e contest

By Elisabeth Henry

Last year’s drought brought small apples. This year’s many deluges promise plump and juicy pickings. The Honeycrisps

I purchased at Adams in Kingston, fresh from the fields of Kleinskill Farm in Germantown, are perfection. Honeyed. And crisp.

This is no small praise. I consider myself an apple connoisseur.

Never mind that my personal orchard is something of a fiasco. Despite years of effort, it seems the trees’ preferences are not met by my soil, my pruning skills, my angle to the sun, my position in the wind, my altitude. Every year there is a frost that haunts my hillside. It is

somehow strategically set in motion by the Hudson Valley/Mountain Weather God, to dispatches the pretty blossoms and their tiny fruit buds. The delicate pink petals litter the still brown furrows. The buds pucker. Later, the branches will flourish with leafyness, but not with fruity goodness.

And yet, there was one year, a “mast” year, when the limbs were drooping with apples in my little orchard and everywhere else on this mountain. Oh, there were clues. I should have known before I planted.

There are no commercial orchards hereabouts and very, very few individual trees that yield. The wild apples are an exception, but their fruit is as tough and pulpy as one might expect from their hardiness. Their tiny fruit is “a poor

substitute for Malus domestica.” I have abandoned the idea of a personal Garden of Eden, and rely on the black dirt and soft air closer to the sea to provide the sweet, tart and perfumed flesh and pretty skin of that symbol of The Fall of Man.

And pie.My interest in and yen for apples began

when I was a child. My grandmother would give my mother a paper sack full of Winesap apples, not a common variety back then and less common now. Commercial growers probably hold the secret as to why. It could be that the Winesap belongs to that very early type of apple grown more for cider than for eating or baking.

Cider was important in the old days. Settlers preferred it to water. It was easier

to make than beer. My grandmother did not include me on what I regarded as her wonderfully secret forays into upstate New York apple orchards. I have corrected this for my children. Apple picking is as much a part of our family’s traditions as ringing bells to call in Christmas.

Apple picking is a reason to live in this part of the world. Apple orchards are beautiful because apple trees are beautiful. The slender, grafted saplings look like any old new growth. Pruning, and biology take over. The silhouette of a mature tree is graceful, almost emotional. By harvest time, a thriving tree will have thick, glossy, green foliage accented by pops of red or yellow.

Most orchards grow dwarf trees, both for ease of picking and for ease of pruning. Tempting as it may look, do not climb on these venerable plants. They are heavily laden already, and perhaps your penchant for pie makes the addition of yourself too much to bear.

Orchard owners are the generous sort. You are very welcome to lie beneath the fragrant boughs, watch the clouds, and eat, and dream of the hot and flaky, sweet and sticky next episode in this slice of heaven that is your life during this season.

It’s possible but not productive to debate how and why apple pie is the standard by which all other things claiming to be American are held. The answer may lie in that most American of all things … marketing. Emily Upton, writing for Today I Found Out, explores the expression “as American as apple pie.”

The actual genesis of expression is hard to track, wrote Upton. In 1902 a newspaper article wrote that ‘no

pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished.’ A 1924 advertisement in the Gettysburg Times promoted ‘New Lestz Suits that are as American as apple pie.’ And by World War II, the association was cemented. American soldiers would tell journalists that they were fighting for ‘mom and apple pie.’

We claimed the apple, and then we

appropriated the pie. The first recorded recipe for apple pie, written in 1381 in England, called for figs, raisins, pears, and saffron in addition to apples. Early apple-pie recipes generally didn’t include sugar. Their pastry crust was  “coffin” pastry, which was intended as an inedible container, not a part of the pie. No wonder the Brits had themselves a

in these modern times. In this republic, crusts have evolved to be much more than edible. They are deeply desirable.

I present Linda Donough’s winning entry in the Blue Ribbon Apple Pie Contest at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. As a graduate of a college in Amish country, I can assure you that those pious people may wish to retreat from our culture, but they bake as sinfully as any red-blooded American could.

butter and blend until looks like coarse cornmeal. Add the shortening, blend not quite as much as butter. Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time until you get a consistency you prefer for rolling out. Place in the refrigerator and let rest while you get the rest of the ingredients together.

the juices in the apples)1/4 teaspoon salt7 cups of sliced apples1 teaspoon lemon juice4 tablespoons apple juice -- concentrate

Oh, yes. A note.Oh, yes. A note.As your palate matures, you will find

that apple pie should only be created and consumed during its season. There is a marked difference between a pie steaming with freshly picked, baked apples and that

which has been corrupted by fruit past its prime, or worse, canned.

The antidote to sadness for this admit-tedly brief autumnal lip-smacking inter-lude is to eat nothing but apples. Why not? I’m sure it’s nutritious. Otherwise,

horses, deer, squirrels and all manner of little mammals would not devour apples as they do.

Horses love them so much that one must fence off the apple trees, else the horses get drunk on the fallen fruit when it turns. Bite an apple in a stable and the resound-ing crunch of that will set off impassioned neighs and stall kicking. The only way to guard one’s apple trees from determined deer is to build an eight-foot fence.

Everybody wants apples. Don’t feel guilty. Do visit all the wonderful orchards in our valley. You will find acres to wander. You can pick your own. You can buy freshly made apple-cider doughnuts, which are delicacies that whet the appetite for pie, because you can bag ’em up and eat them in the car.

All the while know that you are support-ing local enterprises, green industry, and ensuring that, with enough pie, you are preventing disease and injury because, as everyone knows, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. We simply must adjust to suit our short growing season in order to get in the 365 recommended doses.

An evolving tasteNew Paltz event changes with changing times

By Terence P. Ward

As an event, the Taste of New Paltz continues to evolve. That’s a good thing, because New Paltz itself is

perpetually changing. Ulster County is being increasingly positioned for tourism driven by agriculture and the rural landscape. New Paltz offers orchards 75 miles from the Big Apple. This year the event organizers have embraced that local fruit, the apple, in ways that reflect that heritage.

New executive director Jen Roe has been in the thick of planning the event since she took the job about two months ago. “I have lots of jobs,” she said. Unlike the committee members supporting her, this is Roe’s main employment. As executive director, it’s her job to see that the many organizational threads get pulled into the one seamless tapestry that is the Taste of New Paltz.

While there’s almost always another event to plan at the chamber office, Roe also must pay attention to trends that impact business around here. One that’s on the minds of local government officials is the push to connect the trail systems which have been evolving throughout the state. The Empire State Trail, which will bring together walking paths from Battery Park to Buffalo, will run right through New Paltz. If the success of the Walkway Over the Hudson is any indicator, this trail could bring quite a bit of traffic through town. As with those coming by car, those trail visitors may wish to stop to spend money.

Even after the river-to-ridge trail is completed, the Taste of New Paltz at the Ulster County Fairgrounds on Libertyville Road won’t be easily accessible by foot. However, features new and old make it something one might want to walk a few miles to visit.

A glorious fit is the apple-pie contest making its debut this year. The New Paltz region is rife with orchards, making such

a contest a locavore’s delight. Entrants will pay five dollars per pie, and the grand prize will consist of half of that revenue pot. Second and third-prize winners will

get certificates usable at the Taste of New Paltz itself.

The panel of judges is still to be selected as of this writing, but will include a CIA-trained specialist. Roe said she’s hoping both Sarah Dressel and Susan Hurd will agree to be part of the panel. Whoever

the judges are, they will be considering features like the crust, the overall flavor and the appearance of each pie.

The smell of a well-baked pie is intoxicating. A good pie can be hard to resist.

Trails might be seen the same way. Cer-

tain trails are doubly attractive because they are being paid for by state or private money, leaving little fiscal downside for local public officials. Trails enhance zon-ing districts designed to be attractive to pedestrians. Trails invite walking, a healthy activity, in a region where out-door recreation and healthy living are celebrated. That there is little, if any, public opposition to the trail movement is itself food for thought.

Food is the core of the Taste of New Paltz. The ability to taste what many different vendors can be a delight. The Taste is one of the oldest events of its kind in the state. Attendees this year will be able to vote for their favorite in three categories:

restaurants, food trucks, and distilleries/wineries. If things go as Roe hopes, the winner might even get a plaque made of local apple wood, carrying forth the apples-in-the-Hudson-Valley theme.

Apple orchards were once more numerous in Ulster and surrounding counties, but much of that land has been sold to developers who built housing and the like. The concept of “open space” suggests the retention of the remaining

agrarian landscape and rural character. The movement to create trails arose

first from the opportunity the presence of miles and miles of unused railroad tracks provided for communities. Now those old easements have been retooled to form the backbone of this burgeoning trail system. The trails connect remaining open spaces. A balance is being struck between the need for places families can be reared and places where families can enjoy the benefits of nature.

Billed as a family event, the Taste of New Paltz will include free face-painting, arts and crafts, and several different at-tractions dealing with animals. Families

include more than children, however. A visitor will also discover craft vendors and a farmer’s market, plus the food vendors and health and business expos.

This event is a cooperative affair be-tween chamber staffers and an army of volunteers. These are the people checking bracelets at the gate, people helping with parking and traffic, people managing transitions between bands, and people generally ensuring this complex event runs smoothly. Many are associated with the chamber’s member businesses. There’s also a longstanding show of support from the fraternities and sororities of SUNY New Paltz as well. For so joyous an event,

the whole community comes together. Big events cannot easily be run with a

small staff, and this is an opportunity to feel part of a larger community. “We still need volunteers!” Roe offered. The more threads she can pull into the tapestry, the stronger and more beautiful it will become. That’s what the New Paltz region is all about.

The event runs on volunteers, but it’s not quite free, although parking is. Admission is a measly three dollars if reservations are made online at tasteofnewpaltz.com, or five bucks at the gate. Food costs extra, money you’ll be happy to pay.

J UST ABOUT EVERYONE gives lip service to the sacrifi ces made by members of America’s armed

forces, especially those who have been killed or maimed in wartime. But how many people put

their money where their mouth is, by supporting charities that provide tangible aid to war veter-

ans with permanent debilitating injuries? Well, on the SUNY New Paltz campus, the Alpha Gamma

Chapter of the Kappa Delta Phi fraternity certainly does. And your chance to help out (while enjoying a

tasty meal) is coming up next Wednesday, March 30, so save the date!

With 13 active chapters throughout the Northeast, Kappa Delta Phi is a midsized fraternity that has

adopted Homes for Our Troops as its favorite charity. In the 12 years since its founding, that not-for-profi t

organization has built more than 200 houses for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan confl icts who have

New PaltzBoard conmoratoriumGateway arby Terence P Ward

R EQUESTS FOR Town Board mempose a moratoriuthat time to creatdevelopment overlay zone enough attention to start the but it's not at all clear if such actually be taken. There are fi nlegal ramifi cations that will be stfore any decisions are made. Thehave been born of the CVS/Five Gect that the Planning Board is pconsidering for North Putt Cornerbut proponents say that it's about t

ger picture, not that one applicationSupervisor Neil Bettez said he

ceived numerous e-mails -- largely

the same wording -- requesting th

moratorium be considered. "It's im

tant to people in the town," he said.

Town resident Kevin Borden, who h

been a leader among those who oppo

the scale of the CVS project, said th

the proposed overlay district would en

compass far more than a single parcel

It could also include the site of the for-

mer 87 Motel, he said, were a workforce

housing project rumored to be in the

works would likely leave residents with-

out cars crossing the Thruway on foot to

head towards their jobs."You can legally press the 'pause' but-

ton," he said, and consider if there are

better ways to develop the areas in the

town's Thruway gateway area.Joel Oppenheimer told board mem-

bers that even having the idea on an

agenda was a step forward. "It's a rare

thing to feel heard by your local repre-

sentatives," he said.Continued on page 20

New Paltz Town Planning BoardPledge of Allegiance decision goes viral

by Terence P Ward

L AST WEEK’S DECISION by New Paltz Town Planning Board members not to

start reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before meetings was not the last word

spoken on the subject. After losing the 4-3 vote, board member Amy Cohen

-- who fi rst raised the issue last autumn -- took her case to the Town Board

and, fi nding no solution there, then spoke about the cause on Fox & Friends Mon-

day morning. Numerous media outlets have picked up the story, and board member

Lagusta Yearwood was singled out for derision by people around the country who

disagreed with her characterization that the pledge is "third grade and silly." Republican

congressional candidate Andrew Heaney has

even decided to make this a campaign issue.

At the Town Board meeting last Thurs-

day, Cohen asked members to approve a
