he moment you climb Somewhere inTime Lane, you sense the peace thatsurrounds you.

A gentle breeze softly streams across the rip-pling grass and pond, rustling the leaves andcreaking the branches of the trees gracing theParksville, NY home of Justine and Jon Suther-land.

Yet you can’t resist looking skyward, wherea Great Plains-worthy view stretches endlessly,the blue sky and white clouds somehow feel-ing more vibrant here.

“How are you Being?” Justine may ask youupon arrival, appearing to already know theanswer.

And if you’re looking for inner peace, she’llteach you how to “Just Breathe.”

That is, in fact, one of two names for thisbeautiful place: Justine’s Just Breathe Yoga.

Housed in a bright, airy barn overlookingthe foothills of the Catskills, the yoga studio’sbamboo floors host classes in classic Hatha

Yoga Sivananda style, including a “CatskillsMountain Boot Camp” for all ages and fitnesslevels. Justine is as quick to sing as she is tospeak, as eager to learn as she is to teach. Herwelcoming spirit is both boundlessly euphoricand quietly joyful.

“She has such a welcome, intuitive spiritabout her,” says Lindsay, one of Justine’s manyyoga students. “I think she’s very special.”

“She’s a fabulous teacher,” adds Joe, anotherstudent. “She is really concerned about herstudents.”

And her healing effect is undeniable.“She helped me with my arthritis,” says Joe,

who at 74 finds bending his limbs much easierthanks to Justine’s gentle guidance.

Lindsay ended up with both arthritis andhigh blood pressure when she became preg-nant a few years ago.

“Medicine wasn’t working for me,” she re-calls of her turn to yoga. “Within a couple ofmonths, I was able to get off my blood pres-sure medication.”

Justine and her husband Jon’s shared love ofthe 1980 time-travel romance movie “Some-where in Time” inspired not only the name oftheir driveway but of their bed-and-breakfast,Somewhere Inn Time.

emories of Bernie’s Holiday Restau-rant easily and happily flood RandyResnick’s mind.

“We grew up at Bernie’s,” he says.“My family ate at Bernie’s every Friday of ourlives.”

Still living just down the road, Randy andbrother Butch now own the Catskills land-mark, propelling its decor, menu and offer-ings into the 21st Century.

“We wanted to rebrand Bernie’s, to bring itcurrent,” he explains. Today, BHR is a stylish,modern, uber-popular restaurant that – likethe name itself – feels both fresh and duly re-spectful of the dining destination everyone’sloved for 50 years.

Credit Randy and astaff focused on cre-ating entreés and spe-cials that aren’t everwhat you’d expect.

“You can come toBHR every week andeat something com-pletely different,”Randy promises.“Here, our specials

are actually created tobe special.”

A member of a food-oriented family and aculinary arts graduateof Johnson & WalesUniversity, Randyhandpicks the dishesBHR serves – like thesalmon, not sourcedfrom large-scale pro-ducers in Chilé but sus-tainably raised on afarm in the remote

Faroe Islands, north of Scotland.He buys fresh poultry from Murray’s

Chicken, just a few hills away from BHR, andlive lobsters swim in a tank inside the diningroom.

While the sushi bar is gaining fans everyday, the most popular dinner choice is theDodge Inn Steak, a cherished throwback to along-gone BHR neighbor in Rock Hill.

“It’s a classic dish,” Randy nods. “Therecipe is over 100 years old.”

The restaurant itself doesn’t look anywherenear as old, a much-praised renovation four

years ago imbuing the 80-seat dining room,20-seat bar and 160-seat banquet hall with anelegant yet oh-so-relaxed atmosphere.

A nice glass of wine, beer or cocktails re-laxes even further.

“We have the best wine selection by theglass,” says Randy, thanks in part to a processthat perfectly preserves bottles after they’reopened.

You can also find 40 various wines for just$25 a bottle.

BHR, however, isn’t the only restaurant onsite. Occupying a slice of the original Bernie’sdining room is Crust Italian Eatery, an evenmore relaxed version of BHR, focused ongourmet, brick-oven pizza and Italian dishes.

“We have an awesome menu,” Randy notes,pointing out the racchetta pizza – whichlooks just like a tennis racket (but tastes

much better). “We do square thin-crust pizza,margherita pizza, with Grande cheese ... andwe cook our pizza sauce, which a lot ofpizzerias don’t do.”

With room for 50 inside and 25 more on anoutdoor deck, this isn’t a pizzeria so much asit’s a dining destination in the model ofBHR – and Crust’s sandwiches, heroes, sal-ads, soups and sushi feature the same qualityingredients as its bigger brother next door.

The choices, however, don’t end there, asjust across Rock Hill Drive is another Resnickfamily business: Brew, which promises “cof-fee by day, craft beer by night.”

“We have 10 taps and 200 beers by the bot-tle,” says Randy.

Many of the beers are locally created, as isthe coffee – hand-roasted at his family’s facil-ity a few miles away.

Add the fact that The Sullivan hotel is nextdoor, and you’ve got a one-stop center forshopping, dining and lodging.

Randy says theidea is to welcomepeople to SullivanCounty’s Catskills –including thoselucky enough tolive in the moun-tains’ midst.

“We’re just localboys,” he smiles,“who want to giveback.”

BHR/Crust277 Rock Hill Drive, Rock Hill, NY845-796-3333 (BHR) • 845-796-4444 (Crust)bhr-sullivan.com

BHR is open Wednesdays through Sundaysfrom 4-10 p.m, and in addition to dining offerson-site and off-site catering. Crust is openseven days a week from 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. andoffers an in-house and to-go menu, with delivery as well.

brewery as natural as the beer it makes?Absolutely, say Ramsay Adams and

Randy Lewis, who with Kirt Gunnopened the Catskill Brewery in LivingstonManor, NY last year.

“Our goal is to be the ‘greenest’ brewery inAmerica,” explains Ramsay. The brewery is aim-ing to reach the U.S. Green Building Council’stopmost certification – Platinum LEED (Leader-ship in Energy & Environmental Design) status.

“We did our best to employ green technologyand sustainable practices in every facet of thebusiness,” adds Randy.

Recycled steel, foam insulation and solar/ge-othermal technology have been combined so asto both heat and cool the barn-like structure,

even the refrigerated keg storage room, year-round.

“We’re connected to the local electric utilitygrid,” says Ramsay, “so any unused energy goesback into the system.”

While The Catskill Brewery is focused on effi-cient energy use, it’s simultaneously scramblingto meet the skyrocketing demand for its sevenbeers, with current plans to add a canning line,and also increase the current output from 120barrels (3,720 gallons) a month to over twice asmuch in the coming months.

“The market supports our beer, and in that re-spect, we are thankful. It is going better thanwe could have expected,” Randy affirms.

Quality isn’t simply a buzzword here.

“Freshness and quality are in our missionstatement,” says Randy. “We make the beer anddeliver it directly to our customers in our ownvans. If you see our beer in a restaurant or pub,it’s fresh.”

That means the talented brewery crew payclose attention to the 150 bars and restaurantswhere the seven varieties are sold. They’ll evenmake special trips to replace beer if freshness iscompromised in any way.

Getting the beer into the hands of customers,however, is just the last link of an entire chaindevoted to perfection.

“At the end of the day, it’s the beer,” saysDana Ball, the brewery's head of sales. “We canhave a strong brand, and a dedication to sus-

tainability, but we have to make a great productfirst. I think we’re doing our best to deliver onthat. We’re a young brewery, but we havegrown faster than we could’ve imagined. Youhave to credit the beer for that."

Thank, too, the brewers, who often can bespotted between the tanks and piping of thebrewery, checking readouts, adjusting controls,formulating new ideas.

“This fall, we’ll be making beer with local in-gredients,” says brewer Caleb Brown, comment-ing on a beer called “The Local,” offered onlywhen hops are being harvested in the Northeast.

Lewis added, “New York state was once thelargest growing hop region in the country. We

want to help local farmers investigate that cropagain.”

Credit for the building’s systems goes to stafflike David Walton, who supervised much ofthe brewery’s environmentally-friendly setup(and also gladly serves its product to visitors),and assistant brewer, Ed Waryha, who grew upin the area, joined the Air Force, then returnedto stoke a longtime brewing passion.

“I brew on Wednesdays and deliver beer toBrooklyn and Manhattan on Thursdays,” hesays with the grin of a truly happy man. “I liveon the property I grew up on, and I’m doing

what I love!”The love of a good beer goes into every-

thing at Catskill Brewery, where you can evenfind Ramsay serving up some suds on Sun-days.

“When we thought about building a breweryhere, it wasn’t a tough decision,” he says.“Look at this place. We have some of the bestwater in the world, beautiful natural scenery,and farmers dedicated to growing great naturalingredients. The Catskills needed a brewery,and the country needs to hear about theCatskills. We’re going to tell them, one beer ata time.”

Exhibit: Threads Connecting ’60s and Modern Rockwear atBethel Woods Center for the Arts, Bethel; $5 for this exhibitonly; or regular admission to museum for full visit. Fashionin the 1960s was a colorful explosion of thrift store findscombined with homemade accessories and off-the shelf sta-ples. The stylistas of the day were often the popular musi-cians and their fans in London and San Francisco, and thebig-name fashion designers had to play catch-up. The free-dom and expression of those fashions have captivated theimaginations of subsequent generations, and even todayhigh fashion takes many of its cues from the street and rock-star fashions of the 1960s and ’70s. Ends December 31. Forinfo or tickets, call 583-2000 or 800-745-3000.

Exhibit: Outdoor Art Series: Written in Stone. Four magnifi-cent granite sculptures by renowned artist Harry Gordon.Much of his current work draws from his earlier classical,figurative work, and it is possible to find remnants of the fig-ure in his art.
