An evening of poetry and music featuring Brenda Coultas + Brian Dewan + Charles Stein + Christopher Stackhouse + Coleen Murphy Alexander + Daniel Nester + Frank Cuthbert + George Quasha + Hudson Talbott + Ira Sher + Jared Handelsman + Kim Jaye + Loni Pont + Michael Ruby + Nick Flynn + Paul McMahon + Peter Head + Prana + Rachel Levitsky + Sparrow + Stephen Elliott + Studio Stu + Susan Sindall + The Unbearables + Timothy Liu + Violet Snow and many others in support of WGXC: Hands-on Radio in Greene and Columbia Counties. This special event also features works available by the Garden Goddesses, and will be held 7-10 p.m. Sat. Nov. 14 at BRIK Gallery, 347 Main St. in Catskill. $5 admission.

The "Garden Goddesses" are a group of working artists who garden in Catskill and the surrounding areas. Members have been meeting for just under a year at each other's homes, studios, and gardens. Although the artists work in various media including music, painting, photography, poetry, and sculpture. Their love of gardening and their pioneering spirits bring them together to reflect on their work, their gardens, and how they influence each other. At the November 14th benefit the Garden Goddesses will exhibit works by "the goddesses" and photos of them in their gardens, that will be for sale in support of WGXC. This installation is a glimpse into the personal worlds of the artists and the forces that drive them creatively and spiritually. The Garden Goddesses include Victoria Brill, Alice Caulfield, Sasha Chermayeff, Tasha Depp, Lex Grey, Ruth Leonard, Portia Munson, Dina Palin, Fawn Potash, Erica Potrzeba, and Cate Woodruff.

Catskill WGXC Sound-Voice Benefit is organized by Sam Truitt, Fawn Potash, and Paul Smart.

WGXC is a community-run media project, re-envisioning radio as an innovative platform for local participation. Our inclusive programming connects diverse voices, and distributes information across the public spectrum in New York's Greene and Columbia counties. This multi-faceted project will be much more than just a radio station. With studios in Catskill and Hudson, WGXC activities will include special exhibitions and events, workshops and media training for youth and adults, a news blog with writing and photography, and a local calendar of events, meetings, and other resources.

WGXC volunteers are working hard to launch a 3,300-watt community radio station. More than 78,000 people throughout Greene and Columbia counties will be able to receive the signal on 90.7-FM. WGXC received its license from the FCC and a grant from the US Commerce Dept that will cover 50 percent of our equipment needs. We now need to raise matching funds in order to get on the air. Join us on November 14 and help launch WGXC-FM.

Congressman Scott Murphy (NY-20) makes a number of appearances in Greene County on Thursday, November 12 for Veteran's Day. Murphy will present a flag to Lexington Town Supervisor Dixie Baldrey at 11:30 a.m. at 3342 Route 42 in Lexington; he will present a flag to Prattsville Town Supervisor Kory O’Hara at 12:15 at 14517 Main Street in Prattsville; he will present a flag to Ashland Town Supervisor Richard Tompkins at 1:15 p.m. at 10294 Route 23 in Ashland; will present a flag to Jewett Town Supervisor Michael Flaherty at 2 p.m. at the Jewett Municipal Building, 3547 County Rte. 23C; and will present a flag to members of American Legion Post 291 at 3:10 p.m. at 291 Maple Avenue in Greenville; and will present a medal to the Hans Family at 3:45 p.m. at New Baltimore Town Hall, 3809 County Route 51 in Hannacroix.

Rep. Scott Murphy (D-NY 20) voted with 39 other Democrats against the health care reform bill that passed the House of Representatives last night. All of Murphy's phone voice mail message boxes are full Sunday, so anyone who wants to thank him for his vote or voice disapproval will have to e-mail or wait until Monday.

Incumbent Town Councilwoman Alice Tunison got 192 write-in votes in Cairo, in a losing effort to retain her seat. Tunison publicly stated she was not going to run until the very last minute, when she asked the local Democrats for their endorsement. They said it was too late, so she tried a write-in campaign....In the Claverack contest for Supervisor, where Robin Andrews leads incumbent James Keegan by seven votes, there are 182 issued absentee ballots, 147 of which have already reached the Board of Elections....Both the Columbia and Greene County boards of election must receive civilian absentee ballots postmarked by Nov. 2 by Nov. 10, and military ballots postmarked by Nov. 2 by Nov. 16. Full vote totals should be announced that week, and must be certified by Nov. 23.

Columbia County provided more election surprises tonight than Greene County, with Patrick Grattan (R) beating incumbent Doug McGivney (D) for Kinderhook supervisor by 800 votes, and the Town Council in Chatham going all Republican. In Claverack, Robin Andrews (D) beat 12-year-incumbent Jim Keegan (R) by seven votes, 888 to 881, although that may change when absentee votes are counted. Austerlitz supervisor George Jahn (D) also lost his office to Jeffrey Braley, 255 to 178.

In Greene County, the Athens race for Greene County Legislature became the talk of the county last week when Brent Bogardus, the Greene County Republican Party Chairman and Republican Election Commissioner, accused Democratic candidate Chris Pfister of killing a fawn in his backyard in a cruel manner. This surprising charge may have been enough to turn a toss-up race into a 50-vote victory for Pfister over longtime incumbent Ray Brooks. Before the Bogardus charge, the Catskill legislature race was the most watched, with Heart of Catskill's Linda Overbaugh first trying for a Republican spot in the race, and then not being able to hold that line because of a filing misstep, and then running with the rest of the Republicans on a third party line. Overbaugh was initially considered a sure thing by political insiders, but she did not seem very present during the campaign, and lost tonight to incumbent Democrat Forest Cotten, while the rest of her Republican comrades (Karen A. Deyo Keith W. Valentine and Joseph F. Izzo) won. In Durham, incumbent Sean Fry won again, as Republican Elsie Allan and Grass Roots of Durham candidate Les Armstrong split the more conservative votes.
