A
Big Election, Localized
Ulster County Elects Financial Officers As Our Young Think
Only Of National Matters
10/23/2008
By Paul Smart
There’s
no localized races in the Town of Olive this year the Town of
Olive. But that hasn’t meant a surfeit of election signs
along local roadways, or an invigorated sense of involvement
in Election Day come November 4.
On a county level, the two main races are for new positions
of County Executive and Comptroller that accompany a shift towards
a new county charter that will also be trimming the county legislature
to 23 members in the coming years.

A Bit Better

Go All Rubbery

By Olive Times Staff
The Olive Town Board held a workshop meeting to discuss its
tentative 2009 budget on Tuesday, October 14.

“The sky is falling. The sky is falling,”
cried Chicken Little. “Silly fowl, that’s

new credit cards. There was a time, last summer, when

Than Just Dance

“Ancient Callings is not
just a dance studio—it’s
a sanctuary for women,”
says Charlene Roberts, who performs
around the Hudson Valley as
“Perizad” with her
dance troupe, Twisted Tassels.
Perizad teaches American Tribal
Style, a homegrown version of
Middle Eastern dance, at her
studio in Olivebridge, where,
she explains, “Women can
express themselves through movement.
This style of dance stimulates
energies in your body and helps
clear things out. This is a
place you can let go as a woman,
be comfortable in the feminine
and use it as a tool for power,
which you can extend to your
daily life and relationship.”
