This November, the Wallkill River School has two phenomenal solo shows and a classic group show with a twist! November’s group show, juried by local artist Maaike Weiggman-Leavey, is titled “Portraying People Through Objects.” Where artists were asked to submit still lives of subjects with personal meaning or attachment.
In addition to the group show, artist and Wallkill River School teacher William Noonan will be displaying a collection of his still life works for his solo exhibit “SET-UP.” Artist and musician Judi Silvano will also be having a solo exhibit titled “Creative Diversity: Abstraction Using Different Artistic Mediums” which is a display of experimental works Ms. Silvano has done utilizing various applications and combinations of artistic mediums and techniques.
All these lovely exhibits will be on display throughout the month of November.

The next time you are tempted to lay on the horn when the car in front of you doesn’t move at a traffic light think twice. It may be that the vehicle has the new technology Auto Stop/Start as some car companies call it.
What it means is that when you stop the car at a light or say a drive up window the car automatically shuts off (to save gas and for pollution). Then when you release your foot from the brake it starts again. Many of the new cars have this and eventually all will. This is just added wear and tear on the starter.

Sometimes all this new technology is not for the best.
