<br />
<div align="left"><font face="Arial">Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival is all about community.  So what better way to participate in the community than being a Colorscape volunteer!</font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial">Volunteers are needed for a wide variety of jobs: watching artists' booths as they take much-needed breaks, working in the Information Booth, selling souvenirs and answering visitors' questions, or maybe sitting with the Student Art Exhibit in the Arts Council Gallery. If you like to work with children and glitter, help is always needed in Art Zone 1. Or you might prefer to spend your shift walking the parks, talking to people about the Festival as an Evaluator; or selling raffle tickets.</font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial">Volunteering at Colorscape is so much fun you can hardly call it work!  Call Susan Connelly, Volunteer Coordinator, at 607-674-5174, or contact or visit <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=yd4b47cab&amp;et=1103640781655&amp;s=585&amp;e=001Xh2aWCvUiQiZXL3W6Uy_XUQwNL9Dd5oNwzDZAYVpTuZ-D8j6sOrFxWqv_8FXIjUUxdjcHe3s-9HjzRxwNIkAuMg2Ue5LX32IwF3p-IX_acG3z8vXIOABSmiv_VJ8W-8L" target="_blank">www.colorscape.org</a> to express your interest.</font></div></div>

  <font face="Arial">NORWICH &#8211; The Ninth Annual Colorscape Poetry Slam will take place at the Café Connection at 28 South Broad Street, Norwich, during the Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival on Saturday, September 11, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm.  Free to the public, this year&#8217;s Slam will open with a reading from featured poet Joe Weil.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">Joe Weil is a lecturer in the Graduate and under Graduate creative writing programs at SUNY Binghamton. He has been published in numerous literary journals, including Poet Lore, Onthebus, Rattle, The New Renaissance, Paddlefish, Maggie, Paterson Literary Review, The Journal of New Jersey Poets, and New York Quarterly, as well as in the New York Times, The Star Ledger, and the Princeton Packet.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">At the end of 1998, he was the subject of an NJPBS television profile on his life, and, on St. Patrick's Day of 2009, his poem, &quot;The Dead Are In My Living Room&quot; was featured in Best American Poetry online.  Weil is the author of three chapbooks, and three full-length volumes of poetry, the most recent of which is The Plumber's Apprentice (New York Quarterly Press).</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">As a reader, he has been featured with Allen Ginsberg (1995, Walt Whitman Center), Jan Beatty and Patricia Smith (2008 Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry festival), Louise Gluck (The 2000 Delaware Valley Poetry festival), and the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Stephen Dunn (2009, Distinguished Poet's reading in Paterson). He is currently working on a book of essays, and, as a pianist/composer, is setting poems by Thomas Hardy and George Trakl to music.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">An open Poetry Slam will follow Weil&#8217;s performance, in which poets will compete for $300.00 in cash prizes.  Poets should prepare two original poems of no more than three minutes in length.  The slam is open to the first 20 poets who register.  There is no entry fee.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial">Contestants are judged on the quality of their poetry as well as the quality of their performance.  Contestants should prepare to read their original work in two rounds of three minutes or less.  Poets read only one poem in each round and should not repeat poems.  Neither musical accompaniment nor props are allowed.   Poets will be penalized for going over three minutes.  Scoring is open and immediate.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">Call Emily Vogel at 607-373-9559 or email <a href="mailto:evogel1@binghamton.edu">evogel1@binghamton.edu</a> to register or for more information.  The Poetry Slam is sponsored through the generosity of Price Chopper Supermarkets, Norwich Pharmaceuticals, and Meadwestvaco.</font><br />
  <font face="Arial">The Library will be hosting the Literary Arts Tent with book siginings by local authors Suzanne Bloom, Dustin Warburton, Ginnah Howard, Johanna Sofia, John Taylor Gatto,Kathy Holden Robinson, Lesley Diehl, Kathy Yasas and Art Dog's Annual Coloring Contests.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">This project is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by the Chenango County Council of the Arts.  For more information about Colorscape and this year&#8217;s events, call 607-336-FEST, email <a href="mailto:info@colorscape.org">info@colorscape.org</a>, or visit <a href="http://www.colorscape.org/" target="_blank">www.colorscape.org</a>.</font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div align="center"><div align="center"><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><font color="DarkGreen"><b>FILM ART, TROUBLE THE WATER, COMES TO COLORSCAPE</b></font></font></font></div></div>  <br />
  <font face="Arial">NORWICH &#8211; Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival is proud to announce the arrival at the 16th Annual Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival in downtown Norwich, September 11 and 12, of Trouble the Water, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and Academy Award Nominee Best Documentary Feature.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">&#8220;This is the first time we&#8217;ve brought film art to Colorscape,&#8221; says Colorscape Executive Director Peggy Finnegan.  &#8220;We&#8217;re very pleased to be showing this award-winning film during Colorscape.  And the best part, as with all entertainment at Colorscape, entrance to the film is free to the public.&#8221;</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">Trouble the Water will show at the Howard Johnson&#8217;s ballroom, 75 North Broad Street, Norwich, on Saturday, September 11, at 8:00 pm.  Admission is free as part of the Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival.  Seating is limited to the first 200, so please arrive early.  Please note that the film is R-rated.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">Trouble the Water is an astonishingly powerful documentary that is at once horrifying and exhilarating.  Directed and produced by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, Trouble the Water take you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">The film opens the day before the storm makes landfall&#8212;just blocks away from the French Quarter but far from the New Orleans that most tourists knew. Kimberly Rivers Roberts, an aspiring rap artist, is turning her new video camera on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in the city. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a day to remember,&#8221; Kim declares.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">As the hurricane begins to rage and the floodwaters fill their world and the screen, Kim and her husband Scott continue to film their harrowing retreat to higher ground and the dramatic rescues of friends and neighbors. Lessin and Deal document the couple&#8217;s return to New Orleans, the devastation of their neighborhood and the appalling repeated failures of government.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">Weaving an insider&#8217;s view of Katrina with a mix of verité and in-your-face filmmaking, Trouble the Water is a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes&#8212;two unforgettable people who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">&#8220;The evening showing is the perfect bridge continuing the celebration of art and community that exemplifies Colorscape weekend,&#8221; says Finnegan.</font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">Located on the greens of East and West Parks in the city of Norwich, Colorscape features over 90 juried artists and crafters selling their wares in an interactive atmosphere that includes live music, artist demonstrations, literary and arts activities for all ages, student art exhibits, a competitive poetry slam and the finest in creative food.</font><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div align="center"><b><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><font color="DarkOrchid">Saturday Open House at New Dog Groomer in                    Oxford</font></font></font></b></div><font face="Arial"><br />
OXFORD                   – There a new place in town where ‘Maxine’ can get her                   nails done or ‘Buddy’ can get a great shampoo…it’s                   Oxford Grooming. Sorry, it isn’t a spa for people,                   they cater specifically in services for pets. If                   you’re a dog owner -of any breed- you need to check                   out the variety of professional services available,                   and Oxford Grooming is inviting you to come in and                   visit, especially during their Open House on September                   4th!:cheer:<br />
<br />
</font> <font face="Arial">The  Oxford Grooming shop opened                  mid-August in the Navy  Island Block at 16 Main Street                  by proprietors, Lori and  Rick Johnson. The Johnsons                  originally hail from the  Garden State, but Lori has                  relatives in Oxford, so they  recently decided to                  “follow the clan”. They have taken  root here in                  Chenango County, including their four  children who                  will be attending Oxford Academy.  Together, Lori and                  Rick bring with them over 20 years  in the pet care                  business; 15 years in grooming. Lori is  a graduate of                  The North Jersey School of Dog Grooming  and Rick is an                  experienced dog trainer.<br />
 </font><br />
<font face="Arial">You                   can come in just to get your dog’s nails trimmed, or                   get a “complete grooming”, which includes a nail trim,                   TWO bathes, blow dry, ears cleaned (and plucked if                   needed), and a haircut (a sanitary cut if needed) or                   an undercoat removal. They’ll add a decorative bow or                   bandanna at the end, if you wish. You can even treat                   your pet to an oatmeal bath, or nail painting! Special                   grooming is sure to make your pup attractive, but it’s                   not all for pampering. Good grooming is a matter of                   health and hygiene.<br />
<br />
</font> <font face="Arial">Pets                   are groomed in clean, well lit areas where owners see                   the process, sit comfortably, and wait for the                   grooming to be completed. Right after, dogs can be                   taken home as soon as possible as this helps to avoid                   excess stress. Oxford Grooming prides itself on                   professionalism, quality and cleanliness. All of their                   tools and equipment are thoroughly sanitized after                  each  dog. All dogs brought in must be                     current on their vaccinations to ensure their                    safety,  the safety of other pets and the safety of                    Oxford  Groomers’ staff. Lori and Rick really                  care about  their four-legged, furry clients, so you                  can rest  assured that they will do everything they can                  to make  his/her grooming experience a positive one.<br />

NORWICH - The Chenango County Historical Society's 34th annual fall Antiques Show is coming to the Chenango County Fairgrounds –for one day only- Sunday, September 5th. This is one of New York’s most popular and enduring antiques shows. The Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) show committee, led by Chairperson Howard Fogel and Tom Knapp, Co-Chairperson, have been working for months to present a show full of quality dealers, and the public’s anticipation and excitement is sure to be growing! Approximately sixty varied vendors have been selected who will be offering a terrific assortment that’s sure to please. At past shows there have been antique magazines and books, linens, toys, glassware, porcelains, jewelry, vintage clothing, marbles, woodworking tools, collectibles, currency, mirrors, paintings, furniture and much more. Come early for best choices.</font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial">As your appetite grows from antiquing, there’s no need to leave the fairgrounds. There will be food sold at the Grange booth in Floral Hall. CCHS will also have a concession featuring baked goods and Gilligan’s Ice Cream (back by popular demand).</font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial">The Historical Societies of Oxford and Guilford will also have display spaces in the building next to the Chenango County Historical Society.

They will also have Oxford souvenirs for sale including the ever popular village afghans. </font><br />
