Specializing in All Phases of Service & Installation . . . including Plumbing, Radiant

Heating, Hot Water/Hot Air Heating, Hydro Air, Air Conditioning, etc.

he Dancing Cat Saloon and Catskill Distilling Co.on Route 17B in Bethel has a new sibling – theStray Cat Gallery, a showcase for local artists!

The gallery is located in the hamlet of Betheljust across the street from the Saloon/Distillery complex.The opening show, running through May 22, will fea-ture Nancy Wells, Allan Rubin and Candy Spilner, andwill debut large-scale installations by Tom Holmes andDaina Shobrys that will be on display on the groundsthroughout the season.

You might recall there was a wonderful opening lastyear at the end of August, but the Gallery was forced toclose soon after because of technical glitches that ren-dered the phone and Internet unusable.

Now it is opening for a full season, with a comple-ment of over 30 artists including woodcarver Paul Stark,who has a workshop on the premises, and who helpedinspire the whole concept of the gallery; photographersJerry Cohen, sculptor Ray Fiero; and many others!

For the Spring Exhibition, there will be anthropomor-phic sculptures created by Allan Rubin from foundbranches and canvas; Candy Spilner's "Islands," investi-gating visual perception and the complexity of pictorialspace; and Nancy Wells' digital collages, combining herlove of color and process and derived from sources inthe natural world of the landscape.

Later in the season, the Stray Cat will be hostingartists' gatherings on the weekends and For Kids Onlyart events and live demonstrations and art classes.

The new Stray Cat Gallery (top) is housed inside a renovated Victorian in the hamlet of Bethel, NY. Works by Allan Rubin, like“Valley Girl,” (middle) and Candy Spilner’s colorful “Islands” series (bottom) are featured in the Spring Exhibition.

Genteel country pleasures await all whostep inside or wander about the surroundingland of the De Bruce Country Inn. Built acentury ago as a handsome roominghouse(top center), the Inn has retained the charmof days gone by, from the wide front porch(above) to the quilt-covered beds (top left).The crystal blue water of the inground pool(right) complements the reflective greenfound in the nearby pond (facing page),which is accessible via stairs and paths.Breakfast and dinner are often served in aninvitingly scenic & sunny room called the Ter-race (facing page, top), a modern addition.

H istory is in every cornerof the De Bruce CountryInn. Indeed, it envelops

you so completely you can’t helpbut feel far back in time, close tothe land and lodging as it ap-peared a century ago.

“We changed as little as possi-ble,” co-owner Marilyn KocherLusker will tell you.

Every one of the 14 bedroomsand two suites echoes her words.Although all the rooms now haveprivate bathrooms, a few have theoriginal sink in the corner – fromthe days when each floor in thefour-story inn shared bathrooms.

Sunlight pours through win-dows draped with colorful, floral-patterned curtains,

complementing the wallpaperpatterns unique to each room.

The stairs and floors creaksoftly and agreeably underfoot,the richly dark long-leaf yellowpine as sturdy and handsome asever.

Even the silver door numbersand Art Deco lamp fixtures areoriginal.

The first-floor dining room andlibrary also hearken back to aquieter, slower time. A cast-ironstove occupies a spot of honor inits dining-room retirement, whilethe library features countlessbooks and magazines, offeringabsorbing reading in front of anenormous fireplace.

The basement bar – fullystocked with beer, spirits and anexcellent wine selection – haskept the feel of a haven long en-joyed by sportsmen of everystripe.

The tiny hamlet in which theinn sits, the eponymous DeBruce, NY, happens to lie alongthe famed Willowemoc,renowned for its trout fishing.

De Bruce Road once hostedmore than a dozen resorts andcamps, which is how Marilyn andher family came to live there inthe 1940s.

Her father ran the penultimate placeto stay, the De Bruce Club Inn, whichsurvived into the 1970s before beingclaimed by the elements.

Today, the De Bruce Country Inn –reopened by Marilyn and her husbandRon in 1983 – is the only originalroominghouse left in this picturesquepart of the Catskill Mountains.

The love they’ve poured into a once-decrepit inn is evident, as the sunroomaddition (called the Terrace), Posture-pedic mattresses, inground swimmingpool and modern private bathroomsonly add to the old-fashioned pleas-ures of sitting on a wide front porch,strolling along the 50-acre property,casting a fly in the private stretch ofthe Willowemoc or drawing close toyour loved one underneath thewooden gazebo.

Breakfast and dinner are included inevery stay. Open to the general publicby reservation, the restaurant offers arange of organic fruits, vegetables,

eggs, pasta, fish, Angus beef, roastsand soups, prepared by Ron, a tal-ented artist with an affinity for foodand its presentation.

He and Marilyn are also lovers of art.Indeed, every space in the Inn featuresartwork by Ron or Marilyn, or by oneof the artists who show their pieces atfrequent exhibits in the Inn’s “DrawingRoom” gallery.

Families with children are as wel-come as couples seeking privacy orenthusiasts of hunting and fishing (theopportunity for which exists right onthe grounds).

Located just four miles east of Route17’s Exit 96 and the hamlet of Liv-ingston Manor, the Inn isn’t far fromother interesting pursuits like theCatskill Fly-Fishing Center and Mu-seum, Frost Valley YMCA, the Nev-ersink Reservoir, the state-run DeBruce Fish Hatchery, and the Willowe-moc’s even more famous sibling, theBeaverkill.
