LOCAL GRAIN ECONOMY: Local Grain Economy - Tour of Philmont Community Bakery and Hawthorne Valley Bakery. Tuesday, October 6, 2020from 7:00- 8:00 pm. Online, recorded video tour. To demonstrate the local grain economy, Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Albany and Ulster Counties are holding an online tour of Philmont Community Bakery and Hawthorne Valley Bakery on Tuesday, October 6, 2020at 7:00pm EDT. Philmont Community Bakery has a New American Mill and Hawthorne Valley Bakery has a Meadows Mill, which are used for grinding flour from local grain. Grain farmers, and farmers who want to grow grain, will learn about local grain markets and get a look at these two small-scale mills that process grains. Bakers and those who want to start a bakery will see how baking is done on a smallscale and learn why these two bakeries mill a portion of their own flour. We will also take a couple of minutes to explain the 20-C commercial processing license issued from NYS Ag & Markets which is needed for grinding flour and baking. Over the past few years, food grain production in the Northeast has been making a comeback. There is strong interest in local food, and the current pandemic has illustrated the importance of producing food locally to make it accessible. Recently, CCE held an online tour of Ardent Mill in Albany that serves the entire Northeast. This second tour will focus on small-scale regional millers/bakers and farmers, to illustrate what is referred to as the local grain economy. This online tour and discussion will help you understand the challenges and opportunities in the local grain economy. Register online ($5) at https://tinyurl.com/OnlineBakeryTour to receive an internet link to the meeting. For those new to Zoom online meetings, a practice session will be held at 6pm. For program questions contact Aaron Gabriel (CCE – Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program), 518-3801496, adg12@cornell.edu or Christian Malsatski (CCE – Ulster), 845-340-3990, cpm78@cornell.edu.

ONLINE FILM DISCUSSION: Saratoga Jewish Community Arts and Temple Sinai, with a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York, presents a Zoom discussion October 15at 7 p.m. for the film Orchestra of Exiles, the little- known story of Jewish musicians who were transported to Palestine in the 1930s when Nazism was escalating in power. Participants should watch the film prior to the Zoom discussion. Orchestra of Exiles is available on Amazon Prime Video, Fandor, Epix, DIRECTV, Hoopla, and Fandor Amazon Channel. It is available to rent from Apple iTunes for $3.99. Orchestra of Exiles, a 2012 documentary, written, produced, and directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Josh Aronson, tells this well-hidden saga. It is the tale of the founding in 1936of what would become the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and how its founder Bronislaw Huberman ( 1882– 1947), a Polish-Jewish violin prodigy, saved more than 1,000Jews (many claim more like 3,000when parents, wives, and others were swept along) in the process. History may be full of inventive people turning unexpected hardship into great success, but not many can claim that they responded to the rise of a dictatorial state by creating a national arts institution halfway around the world.
