STACIE FLINT PORTRAIT PAINTING COMMISSIONS
BIO
Hudson Valley, New York, artist Stacie Flint's contemporary expressionist figurative oil painted canvases are collected in the United States and Europe. The images have been used as magazine covers, for children's book illustration, on an album cover, and a stage set. Stacie Flint also paints portrait and public commissions. A recently completed project is five large canvases for Ulster County Area Transit in Kingston, New York, and features staff and passengers of the buses.
STATEMENT
When I paint, I am painting a reflection of my life: a colorful, direct, and everyday narrative of ordinary moments in time. In these vibrant oil paintings, which have a life of their own, people, pets, and things from my imagination appear isolated, but interact within a bold composition. I am inspired most by observing the commercial, fast paced and media oriented aspects of the suburban lifestyle. This, combined with my primary impulse for vivid color and expressive character, makes me laugh! I love my work, and these paintings make me feel good. I know they will make you feel good, too.
COMMISSION PAINTING AND COMMISION PORTRAITS BY STACIE FLINT
I like to tell a story — not in words, but in oil paint. I do this by choosing vivid colors and a loose application, adjusting according to need. My commission paintings have vibrancy, but a more specific focus than my personal work. For commissions I compose a unique interpretation of your favorite people, family, and pets, and what they love. A relaxed and softly off-beat likeness is achieved by painting from provided photographs, used as a reference. Like all my work, the commission paintings are always fun, but they are also a one-of-a-kind, personal piece that is more than a snapshot record. It explores a moment in time and relationship, full of life!
SUBJECTS for my commission oil paintings include:
• Family portraits of everyday home life
• Formal family portraits
• Original oil paintings of family and pets
• Commission paintings of work life
• Pet portraiture (pet portraits): your pet alone or a portrait of you with your pet
• Commission oil painting of your children
• Pet paintings: dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, or other pet
• Hand-painted portraits from your photos
I create uniquely interpreted hand painted commission portraits from your photograph. Using photographs to create the painting provides the easiest and most convenient way to produce an original custom portrait.
If you would like more information please call me at (845) 255-2505, or email me, and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. As I create paintings from photographs, I can create custom commission paintings for clients in Ulster County, Dutchess County, Columbia County, Greene County, Orange County, the Mid Hudson Valley and throughout the U.S.

HITS, Inc. is pleased to announce the dates for two, new rated one-day shows that are conveniently scheduled in between Weeks IV (July 21-25, V (July 28-August 1) and VI (August 4-8) of the Summer Series at HITS-on-the-Hudson in Saugerties, New York. The 2010 HITS Saugerties Tuesday Series will take place on Tuesday, July 27, and Tuesday, August 3.
The schedule for the HITS Saugerties Tuesday Series includes qualifying classes for the year-end Finals for the M&S Medal, PHA Medal, USEF Hunter Seat Medal, ASPCA Horsemanship, WIHS Medal (Hunter and Jumper Phases), USEF Talent Search, as well as classes for Level 3 and 4 Jumpers.
The addition of these two new Tuesday shows also offers riders the opportunity to accrue more points for $10,000 Platinum Performance Equitation Challenge, which will take place during Week VI at HITS-on-the-Hudson.
The Platinum Performance Equitation Challenge is open to junior riders who have finished in the top six in any of the aforementioned medals at not only Tuesday I and Tuesday II, but also HITS-on-the-Hudson IV, V and VI.
Set over a medal-type course, the first round of the Platinum Performance Equitation Challenge will pose 8-10 challenging 3'6" obstacles. The top twelve riders based on first-round performance will then be called back to compete over a second-round course. The trainers who coach the top three riders to victory will split the $10,000 Platinum Performance Trainer Award. "
"Offering some recognized classes on a Tuesday during the summer allows competitors the occasion to practice and accumulate points on a day where they don't normally have that chance," said Tom Struzzieri, HITS President and CEO. "Not only do the two new Tuesday shows give riders the opportunity to qualify for year-end finals, but they also provide a chance to accumulate additional points to qualify for the Platinum Performance Equitation Challenge and its $10,000 Trainer Award. We are already seeing strong support for this addition to the summer schedule and we expect these to be popular shows with our customers."
Just as equitation riders have their fair share of opportunities to take advantage of at Tuesday I and II, so too will those looking to gain more experience for themselves or their horses in the Level 3 and Level 4 Jumper divisions. Both the Level 3 and 4 Jumper divisions will take place in the same exquisite Strongid® C 2X Grand Prix Stadium as the unprecedented Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix on September 12, 2010. These classes can be beneficial for both riders and horses, as it gives both the utmost competitive advantage heading into the remainder of the HITS-on-the-Hudson Summer Series. Competing in a ring of such magnificence will undoubtedly aid horses and riders as they acclimate to the riding conditions in the Strongid Stadium.
Whether looking for additional points headed into the indoor season, additional experience in a beautiful and expansive ring, or qualifying points for the Platinum Performance Equitation Challenge - Tuesday I and II is the place to be in between HITS IV, V and VI. HITS' friendly staff is available to assist you with everything from lodging, to layover stabling, to town favorites, so don't miss out on this incredible opportunity, for more information please visit www.hitsshows.com.
Prize lists for the 2010 HITS Saugerties Tuesday Series will be mailed in early June. To request a prize list for the Tuesday shows, please email info@HitsShows.com or visit www.HitsShows.com.

The Family Birth Place at Kingston Hospital, member of HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley, received the Certificate of Excellence Award from the NYS Department of Health for their Hepatitis B immunization program. The award recognized efforts to prevent perinatal transmission of the Hepatitis B virus.
Hepatitis B is an infectious disease and causes illness to the liver. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that a birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine be given to all infants born in the Unites States. The standard of care in New York State is for infants to be vaccinated within 12 hours of birth. There must also be documentation of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) status, management if HBsAg is positive and compliance with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) general immunization recommendations.
The Family Birth Place revealed 100% compliance with requirements under public health law mandating testing, reporting and recording of Hepatitis B status for all pregnant women and a minimum 95% birth dose rate of Hepatitis B vaccine was given to all newborns.
“We have worked very hard on this project in conjunction with the Department of Health and are very proud of this accomplishment,” said Lori Marino, RNC, Nurse Manager, The Family Birth Place, HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley.

The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons granted Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation to the Community Hospital Cancer Program at Benedictine Hospital
A facility receives a Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation following the on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor during which the facility demonstrates a Commendation level of compliance with one or more standards that represent the full scope of the cancer program (cancer committee leadership, cancer data management, clinical services, research, community outreach, and quality improvement).
The Benedictine Hospital Cancer Program was established in 1994, over 6,000 patients have been entered into the database for this program and currently average 580 new patients added every year. The Cancer Committee at Benedictine Hospital is lead by Dr. Elizabeth Tapen, Cancer Committee Chair, and Medical Director Ulster Radiation Oncology. “We use a multidisciplinary approach in our cancer program,” said Dr. Tapen. “It ensures a high level of quality care to ensure the best outcome.”
Established in 1922 by the American College of Surgeons, the CoC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education, and the monitoring of comprehensive, quality care. Its membership includes Fellows of the American College of Surgeons and 42 national organizations that reflect the full spectrum of cancer care.
The core functions of the CoC include setting standards for quality, multidisciplinary cancer patient care; surveying facilities to evaluate compliance with the 36 CoC standards; collecting standardized and quality data from accredited facilities; and using the data to develop effective educational interventions to improve cancer care outcomes at the national, state, and local level.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that more than 1.4 million cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2009. There are currently more than 1.400 CoC-accredited cancer programs in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, representing close to 25 percent of all hospitals. This 25 percent of hospitals diagnose and/or treat 80 percent of newly diagnosed cancer patients each year. In addition, a national network of more than 1,600 volunteer Cancer Liaison Physicians provides leadership and support for the CoC Accreditation Program and other CoC activities at these local facilities.
The Accreditation Program, a component of the CoC, sets quality-of-care standards for cancer programs and reviews the programs to ensure they conform to those standards. Accreditation by the CoC is given only to those facilities that have voluntarily committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. To maintain accreditation, facilities with CoC-accredited cancer programs must undergo an on-site review every three years.
“We are very pleased to offer this high level of quality care to our community,” said David Lundquist, CEO, HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley. “The Cancer Program at Benedictine helps to make things easier so patients can get the best care close to home.”

Consumer Reports gives Kingston Hospital, a member of HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley, a perfect rating for preventing central-line infections in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). As stated by Consumer Reports they “collected and compared central-line infection data for intensive-care units at 926 hospitals in 43 states…105 hospitals whose most recent public reports tallied zero central-line infections.”
Intravenous Therapy (IV Therapy) is a way to provide a liquid such as medication, nutrition and other fluids directly through the vein. However, in ICU a central-line IV will be use to provide liquid to enter the system much faster than the standard IV. When a central-line is used, it is generally used for much longer time period and can have a higher chance of a patient receiving an infection.
“Infection control is a very important quality initiative at HealthAlliance,” said David Lundquist, President & CEO, HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley. “We have policies and procedures in place to eliminate and reduce the amount of infections that can be spread and continue to educate staff, patients and families to the best practices of infection control.”
Mark Tack, DO, Director, Infection Control Department, HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley, says, “The Kingston Hospital’s multi-disciplinary approach to infection control involving physicians, nurses and staff is effective and offers our patients the safest environment to receive the best care.”
“Since 1989, The Kingston Hospital and Benedictine Hospital have had policies in place to prevent central-line infections,” said Colleen Fairbrother, RN, BSN, Senior Coordinator, Infection, Prevention and Control, HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley. “In collaboration with the ICU staff and the infection control department a central-line insertion bundle and daily maintenance record was created. The effort of this team was to monitor the central-line infections and make the improvements when necessary. With everyone’s hard work and dedication to reducing the risk of infections no central-line infections were reported.”

At Stone Ridge Healing Arts
3457 Main Street
Stone Ridge, NY 12484
You are all invited to join us for free, every second and fourth Wednesday of each month, as we explore how easy it is to let go of all the internal controversies and obstacles that get in the way of our peace, success and love.
What is The Sedona Method?
The Sedona Method is a very simple, easy to use method of self inquiry that helps us to effortlessly let go of all the "stuck" places in our lives. While The Sedona Method is not a psychotherapeutic technique, it does support and prove the cognitive psychological premise that when we change our minds, we change our lives.
How does The Sedona Method change our minds?
The Sedona Method uses very simple, easy to use, series of questions that invite us to effortlessly let go of old feelings and thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of our being receptive, resilient and productive in all the areas of our lives. The questions are so gentle and loving that they support the mind/body to effortlessly release tension and energy blocks and old patterns with ease.
My experience with The Sedona Method.
I have been using The Sedona Method since 2002 and it has helped me to cope with medical challenges that are sometimes very stressful and debilitating. It has helped me find constructive ways to handle extremely difficult relationships. It has given me loving and supportive and productive ways to address all my fears and worries about the economy and so many other worldly challenges we face in our lives everyday.
Each month I offer a FREE Introduction to The Sedona Method on the second Wednesday of that month from 7 - 8:30 PM. We go over the four basic ways to "let go" and play around with these ways as we explore all the topics and issues that concern us in everyday life. Many of us who have been using The Sedona Method for a while find it incredibly helpful and wonderfully useful to review the four basic ways. Each time we use these simple processes they give us direct experience and new insight into how amazingly powerful and at the same time deeply loving they are.
Every fourth Wednesday of each month from 7 - 8:30 PM, I offer a FREE Sedona Method support group where we play around with the all the things we covered during the Introductory group.
Both groups are open to everyone anytime!

Breakthrough in Creativity: The Sedona Method ®
A small donation of $5.00 per person/per group, is requested and will be given entirely to The Art society of Kingston
Artistic expression and creativity are often considered to be an unpredictable gift from the gods. We tend to believe that art can only happen when the planets are aligned in some special way and we have eaten the right thing for breakfast.
What if you could ask yourself a few very simple questions, the right questions, and access infinite creativity? What if it were possible to gently and lovingly, while at the same time deeply and profoundly simply let go of all apparent blocks, obstacles, and resistance to your infinitely creative self?
Lester Levenson, the man who developed the Sedona Method was a visionary who recognized that the mind/body organism is infinitely creative. He discovered a way to gently, lovingly and successfully go beyond perceived limitations and old concepts of ourselves, each other and the world around us. He developed a simple, easy to use process of self inquiry that supports the mind/body to effortlessly let go of fears, tensions, old concepts, old images, old sensations, old patterns of expression and behavior with ease.
Letting go using The Sedona Method allows us to see beyond ordinary appearances and to create and express ourselves in new and extraordinary ways. We begin to witness the creative process express itself even in the most seemingly mundane parts of our lives and we are inspired and changed by this.
An Introduction to The Sedona Method is offered at The Art Society of Kingston the first Saturday morning of each month from 10 – 11:30 AM.
A Sedona Method Support Group is offered at The Art Society of Kingston the third Saturday morning of each month from 10 – 11:30 AM.
All are welcome to join these twice monthly groups anytime to explore how The Sedona Method can help us to access and enhance the creative process.

Lenny Kislin
Please Remember Me at Donskoj & Company Gallery
93 Broadway, Kingston, N.Y. 12401
July 3 - July 31, 2010
For the month of July, Donskoj & Company Gallery at 93 Broadway in the Rondout section of Kingston will feature the sculptural works of Woodstock artist, Lenny Kislin. The opening reception is Saturday, July 3 from 5 to 8 pm.
Lenny Kislin has been selling unusual antiques since 1973. In the course of hunting for new (old) salable material, he came across many pieces which were not so salable, but because of their forms, uniqueness or rarity he was intrigued to the extent that he bought them anyway. These objects he has saved through the years with the intent of eventually finding a way to enable others to see what he saw in them.
In 1991 he began to physically unite these forms into conceptual art objects that he felt utilized them to their best advantages. In this exhibition is some of the fruit of his passion for these heretofore under-appreciated objects.
For more information call 845-338-8473 or visit www.donskoj.com
Gallery hours are Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 1-6pm and by appointment.
To learn more about the artist, visit www.lennykislin.com.

Habitat for Humanity Internationals mission to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness in our community and the world is a perfect match with the goals of the UCBR.
The generous contributions made by the sponsors and donors of past years’ events have helped the UCBR completely finance UCHFH’s building project on Apple Street in Kingston and make significant contributions to several other Ulster County building projects. As we all know, Habitat for Humanity International is a major player in relief efforts in these United States as well as around the world. Their work never ends and we need your help!
On Monday August 16th we will be hosting our 19th Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Apple Greens Golf Club. You’re participation, as a ‘Sponsor’ or ‘Prize Donor’ will help us to raise funds for this worthwhile cause. Sponsor monies go directly to the charity, UCHFH, and prize donations are gathered to be given to individuals who purchase raffle tickets on the day of the event. The following page will further detail the types of sponsorships available. Rest assured that the UCBR will provide recognition of your generous contribution and commitment to the betterment of our community.
Please help us make this day special for everyone involved, join us on August 16th. Feel free to call us with any questions you may have at the numbers listed below. We look forward to speaking with you in the very near future and thank you for your anticipated participation.
