		<description><![CDATA[This nation has been forced to bear witness to several moments of crisis throughout its history – moments which take on a level of mythological proportion, and which become permanent fixtures in the minds of the public. Pearl Harbor was one such incident, the assassination of John F. Kennedy another. Each generation has had its moment of panic, and for many living today, that moment was the attack on the World Trade Center, the plane downed in a Pennsylvania field, and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Like these other tragedies, 9/11 has become rooted in the American consciousness to the extent that it has become an icon of destruction and fear. But like all losses, there must be a move to overcome grief, while at the same time work hard to never forget what once was. This idea – both on an intimate and grand scale – is given beautiful tribute in a new, Oscar-worthy film called Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Oskar Schell is living with his mother (played by Sandra Bullock) exactly one year after his father (Tom Hanks) was killed in the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11th. Oskar believes that his father [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shows will continue while new location is sought PAWLING, NY, Jan. 31&#8211;Music lovers were given a reprieve when the Towne Crier Cafe reached an arrangement with its landlord to stay put until a new venue is located, owner Phil Ciganer announced today. Shows are currently being booked for March and April. With its building for sale by its owner, the music club had planned to vacate its Pawling location after February. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t been able to find an appropriate new location as quickly as we hoped,&#8221; Ciganer said. &#8220;Fortunately, we&#8217;ve been able to arrange to stay on a month-by-month basis.&#8221; Ciganer said he was startled by the outpouring of concerns, fond sentiments and invitations to different communities throughout the region after he announced the closing of the Pawling location in early January. &#8220;What I heard was &#8216;Nooooo—please don&#8217;t close.&#8217; This was both heartwarming and gratifying. I didn&#8217;t realize how important the Towne Crier has been to so many people. So, we&#8217;re going to make sure to keep the Towne Crier experience &#8212; great music &#38; food &#8212; going for our fans in the interim.&#8221; The Cafe, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, will continue to present live music three [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(We know what we like) By Cecily &#38; Frederick Faux Gras And Nick &#38; Patsy Fagioli (The Amateur Palate, written exclusively for Pawling Public Radio, features local restaurant reviews by four people who just like to eat. They claim no professional food knowledge, but “know what they like,” and hope their opinions will encourage others to try new food establishments and different food pairings.) &#160; A few weeks ago we paid a long over-due visit to Abruzzi’s Trattoria on Route 22. Usually, there is a wait on a Saturday night, but since we are approaching  seasoned citizens age, we arrived before 5:30, just before the crowds. We enjoyed our beverages and munched on fresh hot bread served with seasoned olive oil for dipping while waiting for our appetizers. On this visit, we choose an antipasto and a Mediterranean Vegetable Napoleon to share. The antipasto consisted of pieces of fresh mozzarella and Parmesan, dried sausage, cippolini onions, roasted red peppers, marinated artichokes, olives and marinated eggplant. The vegetable Napoleon was layers of marinated and grilled eggplant, sliced tomato, roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella. The balsamic dressing drizzled over the top was just the right amount and did not over power [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It happens every seven to eight years and it’s happening again this year, the year without a winter. Many long range forecasters predicted a tough winter after the Halloween snowstorm. They predicted heavy snow and cold for November and December with a seasonable January and February. It’s been an extremely mild winter through January with very little snow. January 2012 is the second warmest January on record in our area. Ponds and lakes did not freeze so no ice skating, ice fishing or snowmobiling thus far. It’s an unusual weather cycle this winter with cold weather lasting a few days then rain and warm temperatures. This persistent freezing and thawing is not good for plants.  Trees and shrubs in our region prefer gradual change not abrupt temperature and weather swings. Keeping our cultivated and natural landscapes mulched helps during these weather fluctuations. This strange weather stresses plants and many fruit gardeners are concerned as flower buds swell during these warm spells. If this weather continues through February followed by cold in March and April, fruit production could be greatly effected as the flower buds will be damaged. February starts with Ground Hog Day as our local woodchucks study their shadow [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They call it a bean. It looks like a bean. But unlike the famous saying about a duck, coffee beans are not beans &#8211; but are in fact seeds. They are seeds of a berry or cherry that grows along the branches of a coffee tree. Coffee trees may grow to more than 30 feet high. Fragrant, flowering white blossoms, give rise to coffee cherries which need a year to mature. Coffee trees can grow in a wide range of climates and altitudes but prefer rich soil, mild temperatures, frequent rain and shaded sun. According to legend, the consumption of coffee originated in the Ethiopian highlands. A goat herder named Kaldi observed that his goats, upon consuming the berries from a certain type of tree became extremely spirited. The berries were then brought to the local monastery and made into drinks that kept each consumer of the brew awake and alert for many hours. The word spread and with it the berries moved east to the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. Today coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide and is grown in over 45 countries around the world. 400 billion cups are consumed each year. All coffee traces [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January 20th, the Pawling Discussion Group met for the first time at Mark Klinger’s Pawling Trading Company on Main Street. Facilitated by Dr. Ed Grippe, since its inception in 1999 the Discussion Group has met many times discussion a variety of topics from “What makes a Community?” to “What Is Evil?” The recent dialogue entitled “Can one be free without liberty?” centered on the concepts of “liberty” and “freedom.” Dr. Grippe initially presented six participants with the rough definitions of each concept, and then the floor was open to offers of  ideas and to questions aimed at further clarifying and distinguishing the notion of freedom  as “freedom for,” or autonomous self-regulation from liberty as ‘freedom from” or unfettered independence. The goal of this meeting, and all such conversations of the Discussion Group, was not to arrive at a consensus, but to challenge and test assumptions; to open the mind to the insights others brought to the table and thereby to clarify one’s own ideas. An added bonus were the fine coffees and teas made available for purchase to the participants by Igor Krivenko, the manager of the Pawling Trading Company. These drinks and the warm atmosphere stimulated the gathering; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; This September ABC launched a new series written by the same crew that dreamed up LOST: Once Upon A Time, a show about fairy tale characters in the real world. There is something peculiar about the cozy, old-fashioned town of Storybrooke, Maine. It’s not the fact that the clock has stopped working, or that no one ever leaves… no, according to 10-year-old Henry, the funny thing about this town is that every person in it is a storybook character. None of them, however, remember that they were once the Huntsman or Jiminy Cricket or the Magic Mirror. This is something of a problem, since Henry is convinced that the Evil Queen, who happens to be his adoptive mother and the Mayor of Storybrooke, is the one who ‘trapped’ these characters here in the first place. The only one who can break the curse is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. When Henry finds his biological mother (who you may recognize as Dr. Cameron from House, M.D.), he explains that she is that daughter: the savior bound to restore the fairy tale characters to their respective happily ever afters. Emma, a pragmatic bounty hunter with attachment issues, does [...]]]></description>
