Also, attending and manning the phones during the livestreamed telethon will be ALL seven Kingston mayoral candidates — Hayes Clement, Shayne Gallo, Andi-Turco Levin, Ron Polacco, Rich Cahill, Jean Jacobs and Steve Ladin — Ulster County legislators Jeannette Provenzano, Michael Madsen and David Donaldson; and Kingston Alderwoman Shirley Whitlock.

The Freeman sessions are here

"The Freeman Sessions with Stella May" will launch on Aug. 9 with a live streaming event sponsored by Stella May Productions and the Freeman, with a Kingston Cares benefit featuring Rebecca Martin and Larry Grenadier. Event details are on the poster above.

The event will be streamed live and will be available for viewing at http://www.dailyfreeman.com. More details about this undertaking will be revealed soon.

The event will also feature a telethon-type livestream with local representative and candidates manning the phones. But you don't have to wait to donate to Kingston Cares.

* Ulster County Legislator Michael Madsen is not in Ulster County.

* Ulster County Legislator Mike Sweeney has another post that can be summarized in one word: "No."

* The Kingston Neighborhood Watch has a Korrecshun.

* Rebecca Martin at KingstonCitizens.org talks about a "City Gardens Coalition" or "Coalición Ciudad Jardín Conjunto," which actually translates to Coalition of the Garden City Band. But "A" for esfuerzo (If you need to know, that's "A," in Spanish).

* Bistro-to-Go has something to say about dead chickens.

* If, for whatever reason, the idea of a large number of dead chickens doesn't make you hungry, you can try Rhubarb Ginger Oat Squares, courtesy of At the Farmer's Market.

* 90MilesNorth is not interested in your list of cool web sites.

* Over at SUNY New Paltz, nostalgia, good-byes and emoticons, :P Also, why study if you can go to Paris? or Wales?
