4 1 Recent developments The Care Act 2014 came into force on 1 st April 2015 along with a range of new supporting regulations and a single set of statutory guidance, which, taken together, describe how the Act should be applied in practice. The aim of the change is to simplify and modernise the system, which had become very complex and also to create a new approach to charging. The most significant new regulations in relation to this factsheet are the Care and Support (Charging and Assessment of Resources) Regulations 2014, which will be called the charging regulations in this text. The other main source for this factsheet is the new Care and Support Statutory Guidance 2014, which will be referred to as the statutory guidance in the text. Here, chapter 8 Charging and financial assessment and Annexes A-F are most relevant. These documents support sections in the Care Act 2014, which cover charging for services and various other sections such as on debt recovery and deprivation of assets. This means that the existing system of adult social care of laws, regulations and guidance, developed over a period of 65 years, has generally been superseded and is now no longer applicable; except in a few cases, for example the complaints regulations and Disabled Facilities Grants. An example of this general revocation is the statutory guidance entitled Fairer charging policies for home care and other non-residential social services. This is the guidance on which this factsheet was previously mainly based. It will now be based on the documents mentioned above, which are also listed with web-links in the Appendix in section 12. The Care Act 2014 will actually come into force in two stages, in April 2015 and April Some of the key changes being introduced in 2015 are: The promotion of individual wellbeing as an overarching principle within all the activities of a local authority including: assessment, eligibility, prevention, means testing and care and support planning. Factsheet 46 April of 48
5 New national eligibility criterion for both the adult requesting services and their carer(s) leading to rights to services and based around the wellbeing principle. The previous four local eligibility levels have now become one, set at approximately the previous substantial level. Further information about this can be found in Age UK s Factsheet 41, Social care assessment, eligibility and care planning. Carers now have an absolute right to have their assessed, eligible, support needs met for the first time; they have a slightly different eligibility criterion to the service user, but are subject to the same means test rules. A person-centred, outcomes-focussed, approach to assessing and meeting needs. Local authorities must consider how to meet each person s specific needs rather than simply considering what existing service they will fit into. They must also consider what someone wants/needs to achieve or do and the effect on them of any difficulties they are having. The whole system is now administered via personal budgets and based on the principles of the personalisation policy that has been developed over the past few years. A right to request service provision for a fee where someone with eligible needs is found to be a self-funder (must pay the whole cost of a service) in the means test. This right does not exist for care home provision. New local authority market shaping duties to ensure adequate, diverse, good quality, local service provision. The duty to prevent, reduce and delay the need for services and also related duties to integrate care with the NHS where this benefits a service user. Universal local information and advice duties - to be further discussed in the text. There are many other changes from April 2015, which are described in Age UK s range of factsheets on adult social care. The April 2016 changes mainly relate to the implementation of new rules on paying for care based on the Dilnot care funding recommendations made in 2013, and the subsequent government response. These include: Factsheet 46 April of 48
6 A lifetime care cost cap ( 72,000 in 2016) above which the State will meet the cost of paying a person s eligible social care needs. The national cap will be reviewed every five years. The introduction of care accounts, which will require a local authority to track a person s personal expenditure towards meeting their eligible social care needs, towards the new care cost cap based on the amount set out in their personal budget. Each account will be adjusted annually in line with the national rise in average earnings. Some local authorities may start to assess for care accounts ahead of the April 2016 start date to avoid capacity issues. An increased upper capital limit from 23,250 to 27,000 for nonresidential care and support. This includes sheltered accommodation and supported living schemes, which are treated differently to care homes in the means test rules. An increased tariff income/lower capital limit from 14,250 to 17,000. You should be allowed to keep capital below this level. Independent personal budgets for those people with assessed, eligible, needs but who have capital in excess of the upper threshold and who are meeting the cost of their care and support themselves. This is a choice that will be available to enable payments to be noted in the person s care account. Further details of the 2016 proposed funding-related changes are contained in a government consultation, which ended on 30 March The transitional system In this factsheet we will describe the transitional system that is now in existence, between April 2015 and March We will amend it next year inlight of the planned new charging rule implementation that is mentioned above. Government advice on how local authorities should manage the transition over the next couple of years is set down in chapter 23 of the new statutory guidance. Here, it states that the new national eligibility criteria is intended to allow for the same level of access to care and support to be maintained in adult social care in the vast majority of circumstances and cases. Factsheet 46 April of 48
7 Some definitions and terminology In this factsheet, references to the local authority or council will refer to the adult social services department of the local council. We will use local authority to describe this department. Generally, the term local authority can also cover: a county council in England, a district council for an area in England for which there is no county council, a London borough council, or the Common Council of the City of London. Adult means a person aged 18 or over. 2 How to access local authority services If you are having difficulty coping with your daily activities at home, you can get in touch with your local authority or your family doctor (GP) to see if they can give you some advice or support. You can refer yourself for a local authority needs assessment or another person, such as your carer or GP, can do this on your behalf. If you are being discharged from hospital, appropriate community-based care and support should be arranged in good time to ensure a safe discharge. 2.1 A wide range of services are available There are a wide range of support services that can be provided to help you stay in your own home and also to assist your carer if you have one. Services could include: domiciliary (home) carer and personal assistants; meals delivered at home; day-centre attendance and respite care; live-in care services; rehabilitation services; sheltered accommodation and supported living; shared lives services; other housing options; community support; counselling; direct payment support organisations; information, brokerage and advice services 1. Other forms of assistance could include the provision of specialist disability equipment, adaptations to your home, community alarms and other types of assistive technology. The statutory guidance, at paragraph 4.45, states that: 1 Paragraph 4.43 in the Care Act 2014 statutory guidance Factsheet 46 April of 48
8 Local authorities should facilitate the personalisation of care and support services, encouraging services (including small, local, specialised and personal assistant services that are highly tailored), to enable people to make meaningful choices and to take control of their support arrangements, regardless of service setting or how their personal budget is managed. Some services must be provided free of charge (see section 3.2 below) once your eligibility has been confirmed but most can be charged for via a means test, which is explained in this factsheet; occasionally, there is blanket charge for basic, low cost, services. There is more information about the types of non-residential social care services available in our Information Guides entitled Care at home, Advice for carers and Adapting your home. Also see Age UK s Factsheet 6, Finding help at home and Age UK s Factsheet 42, Disability equipment and home adaptions. 2.2 Assessment for care and support The first step towards getting help from social services is to ask the local authority to carry out a needs assessment. This is the process by which the social services department finds out what sort of help and support you may need. It is a right in itself and there is a low threshold for the assessment duty to be triggered. The local authority must carry out an assessment of your needs if you appear to be someone who might need the type of assistance it can provide. It must consider your suitability for an assessment and then assess your needs without being influenced by your financial circumstances. Factsheet 46 April of 48
9 Usually, a representative of the local authority will visit to discuss your needs with you and to decide what actions should be taken. The identified needs should be agreed with you and documented on your care and support plan, along with other elements required by the Care Act This must be written by your assessor with your input. Regulation 2 of the Care and Support (Assessment) Regulations 2014 allows you to choose to have a supported self-assessment, carried out jointly with the local authority. The local authority must ensure that you have the ability and capacity to engage with the process appropriately before agreeing to the request; and must provide you with all relevant information and any necessary support. Your carer, if you have one, may also be entitled to an assessment of their support needs, leading to a support plan. You should be provided with a copy of the plan. You have a right to an independent advocate if you can t understand or cope with the process. See section 5 for further information. Section 9 of the Care Act 2014 states that a local authority assessment must take account of your views, wishes and feelings; and be outcome focussed, based on what you want to do or achieve in your life. Needs should be looked at in terms of their impact on your wellbeing as defined in the Care Act Various assessment methods are being trialled by local authorities, for example supported self-assessment and telephone assessments. You should be as involved as possible in your own assessment and provided with all necessary information, advice and support. The assessment should also be proportionate to your particular needs and in an appropriate format best suited to your requirements. Further information about assessment can be found Factsheet 41, Social care assessment, eligibility and care planning. Factsheet 46 April of 48
10 2.3 The new eligibility criterion for service users and for carers There is now a national, single level, eligibility criterion to decide who qualifies for care and support provided or arranged by the local authority. Within this, there are two separate criteria, one for the adult service user and another for their carers(s). This has replaced the previous four level service user eligibility criteria and also the general discretion (choice or power) as to whether to meet a carer s identified support needs. There is no longer a need for care by a carer to be regular and substantial, simply necessary. Your local authority must follow the new Care and Support (Eligibility Criteria) Regulations 2014 (eligibility regulations) and have regard to the related new statutory guidance when deciding on eligibility. Have regard to means that it must generally be followed, except for in exceptional and justifiable circumstances. These both support the Care Act 2014 sections on eligibility and duties and powers to meet assessed service user and carer needs set down in sections 13 and For each of the two criteria types (adult service user or carer), a list of outcomes a person may need to achieve is provided in the eligibility regulations. Within the adult service user list, the person must be unable to achieve two or more and within the carer s list they must be unable to achieve one or more of the outcomes. Further explanation within the eligibility regulations shows that the term unable to could mean having excessive difficulty or being at high risk. The assessor must then decide whether this situation results in a significant impact on the person s wellbeing. The new adult social care concept of wellbeing is broadly defined in Section 1 of the Care Act 2014, and informs the individual eligibility decision when someone is assessed by the local authority. The local authority should publish accessible information about the criteria, for example on its website (see section 4 for further information). The eligibility procedure is described in more detail in Age UK s Factsheet 41, Social care assessment, eligibility and care planning. Factsheet 46 April of 48
11 Portability and continuity of care New portability rights are now in force under sections of the Care Act 2014, meaning that you can choose to move to another area and retain an existing care package until a review assessment is carried out by the receiving local authority, if it has not already taken place. The receiving authority must have regard to the existing care package and clearly explain why they make any subsequent alterations, in writing. This means it must carry it on the same form until the review takes place. Portability also relates to updated rules on ordinary residence set down in sections of the Care Act 2014 and new rules on cross-border placements in section 39 of and Schedule 1 to the Care Act See Age UK s Factsheet 41, Social care assessment, eligibility and care planning, for further information. 2.4 The right to request having your needs met Chapter 8 of the statutory guidance provides a right to request having your eligible care needs met where you are found to have assets over the capital limit following your related means test. This means that you will have to fund your care in full (a self-funder). In fact, it appears that your right to actually have your eligible needs met in this context only crystallise (materialise) following the making of this request. The local authority must agree to your request in a non-care home related context. However, they can charge an arrangement fee. The statutory guidance advises that the request could be for a variety of reasons such as a person finding the system difficult to navigate, or wishing to take advantage of the local authority s expert knowledge of local care and support services in terms of what s available and the cost. If a person doesn t have support and lacks the mental capacity to arrange their own eligible care needs, then the local authority has a duty to assist in all types of situation under the section 18(4)(a) of the Care Act Section 80(2) of the Act requires the term capacity (used in section 18) to be interpreted in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005, where (at section 2) an inability to make a decision must be as a result of an impairment of, or a disturbance in the functioning of, the mind or brain. Factsheet 46 April of 48
12 Note: That there is no right to request procedure for care home provision. However, a self-funder with mental capacity could ask for assistance if the reality is that they couldn't arrange their own care home placement without local authority help and there is no one to assist them. As this would require a discretionary response from the local authority, it would not be able to make an arrangement charge if it agrees. A discretionary decision must take all the case facts into account and reasons must be given for the response. It is very hard to see how a local authority could not comply with this request give their general duties, statutory responsibilities. A person may also have a right independent advocacy in this kind of situation (see section 5, below). In the right to request context, discussed above, the local authority has a power to charge if it chooses. It can charge the full cost for the care and support that it provides plus an arrangement fee. Paragraph 8.58 of the statutory guidance states that: arrangement fees charged by local authorities must cover only the costs that the local authorities actually incur in arranging care. Arrangement fees should take account of the cost of negotiating and/or managing the contract with a provider and cover any administration costs incurred. The statutory guidance advises creating written agreements to avoid disputes about future funding liabilities. 3 Local authority charging rules and procedures This section outlines the local authority charging procedures for nonresidential care. Factsheet 46 April of 48
13 A local authority must carry out your financial assessment (also known as a means test), under sections of the Care Act 2014, in accordance with the provisions in Parts 2 to 5 of the charging regulations. It must also have regard to chapter 8 and Annexes A to F of the statutory guidance. The Care Act 2014 sets out a financial assessment duty where it either has a duty or discretion to meet the needs of a service user or a carer. The residential and non-residential charging systems have now been amalgamated, but retain some different elements. Note: A local authority charging assessment (means test) takes place at a specific moment in time, promptly following your needs assessment and confirmation that you have eligible needs, within the required outcomes that need to be agreed with you in your care planning process; and confirmation of your personal budget amount, which may initially be an estimated (indicative) amount until it is confirmed to be sufficient to meet your needs. Chapter 8 of the statutory guidance confirms that the new charging arrangements in this context cover any setting in which care and support needs are met outside of a care home. This could be care and support received in a person s own home or in other accommodation settings such as in extra-care housing, supported living accommodation or shared lives arrangements. These types of accommodation are further discussed in Age UK s Factsheet 60, Choice of accommodation care homes. 3.1 Government guidance on charging for services The charging principles that should be adhered to by a local authority when setting out its new charging policy for the Care Act 2014 are listed in Chapter 8 of the statutory guidance. These include the requirement to ensure that people are not charged more than it is reasonably practicable for them to pay and are not charged more than the cost of providing a service. The information and advice duty, which is discussed in section 4 below, is also cited in support of these principles. For example, you must be provided with written information about your assessed charge as a part of the means test procedure. Factsheet 46 April of 48
14 Note: These rules apply to the service user and carer(s) in the same way if they are receiving services arranged or directly provided by a local authority. Your income and capital can be taken into account in the local authority means test, if it is considered to be eligible. The local authority charging discretion Section 14 of the Care Act 2014 gives local authorities discretion as to whether they wish to charge for a non-residential care services, except in the circumstances outlined in section 3.2 below where they are free of charge. The local authority must follow the Care Act 2014, the charging regulations and the related statutory guidance when administering its charging procedure - for example the contents of Annexes B-E in the statutory guidance. Statutory guidance under the new Care Act 2014 appears to have the same status as it previously had for many years, meaning that its requirements can only be diverged from in exceptional and justifiable circumstances. See the Appendix for further citation of these documents and web links. Chapter 8 of the statutory guidance and Part 3 of the charging regulations allow a light-touch means test in certain circumstances meaning that that the whole procedure doesn t have to be followed if both parties agree and there is adequate certainty about the funding situation. Examples of where this could be appropriate are where an individual has significant financial resources but requires support, where a small service is being supplied for a general nominal fee or where someone is in receipt of means tested welfare benefits. Generally, only the service user should be charged Chapter 8 of the statutory guidance requires local authorities to charge people individually. At paragraph 8.8 it states that a local authority: has no power to assess couples or civil partners according to their joint resources. Each person must therefore be treated individually. Factsheet 46 April of 48
15 As a result, your local authority should not routinely include the assets of the spouse or civil partner who is not receiving care and support, only the service user. This means that other people cannot generally be required to pay your service charges, except in certain specific legal circumstances, for example where a service user has a legal right to a share in the value of an asset, for example a bank account, even though it is not in his or her name. Chapter 8 also makes it clear that a carer cannot be charged for care and support provided to the service user, only for support they directly receive. As each local authority has discretion on whether to charge this should be set out in its charging policies. You may find it helpful to first approach an advice organisation such as a local Age UK (see section 15) or Citizens Advice (see section 13). Written record of charging decisions Section 17 of the Care Act 2014 requires that you should be provided with a written record of the charging decision by the local authority. It should explain how the assessment has been carried out, what the charge will be and how often it will be made, and if there is any fluctuation in charges, the reason. The local authority should ensure that this is provided in a manner that the person can easily understand. 3.2 Services that should be provide free of charge Local authority assessment and care planning Charging for assessment, the means test and care and support planning is prohibited within chapter 8 of the new statutory guidance (at paragraph 8.14). However, those assessed as having to pay the full amount to meet their assessed eligible needs in a non-residential care situation have to request the actual service provision (the right to request ) and may be required to pay an arrangement fee for this (see section 2.4 above). Without this request, there appears to be no local authority duty to meet eligible needs, except for possibly in exceptional circumstances. This is where a person has the mental capacity to express their needs, views and wishes. Factsheet 46 April of 48
16 At section 18(4) (a) and (b) in the Care Act 2014, there is a duty to meet needs for care and support where the adult lacks capacity to arrange for the provision of care and support but there is no person authorised to do so under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 or otherwise in a position to do so on the adult s behalf. This duty appears to relate only to those who lack mental capacity as defined by the Mental Capacity Act 2005, so it would not generally include someone with a purely physical disability. Where the local authority is assisting with funding there is no arrangement fee, just the means test and an absolute duty to meet the assessed eligible needs. Intermediate care and reablement You may benefit from intermediate care when you leave hospital or are at risk of being admitted to hospital. The aim is to provide services to help you maintain or regain the ability to live independently. The National Audit of Intermediate Care describes four types of intermediate care: Crisis response providing short term care (up to 48hrs). Home-based intermediate care services provided in a person s own home by a team with different specialities but mainly health professionals such as nurses or therapists. Bed-based intermediate care services provided away from home, for example in a community hospital. Reablement services provided by a team of mainly care and support professionals in a person s own home to help them live independently. Part 2 of the new charging regulations confirm that the local authority must not charge for intermediate care (including reablement) for up to six weeks. However the guidance on preventative support says that neither should they have a strict time limit but reflect the needs of the person. Local authorities may therefore wish to apply their discretion to offer them free of charge for longer than six weeks if there are clear preventative benefits. The guidance gives as an example, when someone has recently become visually impaired. For further information see Age UK s Factsheet 76, Intermediate care and reablement. Factsheet 46 April of 48
17 NHS care and services You will not have to pay for GP and other community based NHS services you need such as district nursing, physiotherapy or speech therapy. The NHS is responsible for meeting the full cost of care (in a care home or in your own home) for those whose primary need for is for health care. In other words, your needs for care are beyond those that the local authority has a duty to meet. This is called NHS continuing healthcare and is often described as fully funded care. There is a national framework for the assessment of eligibility for NHS continuing healthcare. As well as the main assessment process there is a fast-track tool. This can be used if an individual has a rapidly deteriorating condition that may be entering a terminal phase and so there is an urgent need for a care and support plan to be arranged. Note: It is important to check that you have been properly assessed for fully funded NHS Continuing Healthcare, if you may be entitled to it. This should take place before the local authority carries out its means test for care and support as otherwise you may be charged for services you are entitled to receive for free. For further details on how to check, see Age UK s Factsheet 20, NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care. Mental health after-care services Section 75 of the Care Act 2014 confirms that if you receive after-care services under section 117 of the Mental Health Act 1983 following a period of detention and treatment in hospital under certain other sections of that Act, you cannot be charged for these services. Factsheet 46 April of 48
18 Community equipment and minor home adaptations Part 2, section 3, of the new charging regulations confirm that community disability equipment, for example hoists, long-handled grabbers and commodes; and minor home adaptations, for example short ramps and grab rails (costing under 1000), must be provided free of charge by a local authority when meeting eligible needs. More costly home adaptations require various funding processes related to the tenure of the property, for example private and rented accommodation would need a means tested Disabled Facilities Grant. See further information on this Factsheet 42, Disability equipment and home adaptations. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) Part 2 of the charging regulations confirms that if someone suffers from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) they should be exempt from charges for local authority care and support. 3.3 Personal budgets and the care and support plan Section 26 of the Care Act 2014 defines personal budgets in law for the first time. This is the local authority s view of the cost of meeting your needs after the assessment and means test. This means that, as part of the care planning process, you should be provided with a personal budget so that you know how much money you are entitled to for meeting your eligible needs and what you should contribute. Your care plan must describe: what your needs are; which needs the local authority will meet and how; the outcomes you wish to achieve; any relevant information and advice on how you might prevent, reduce or delay your need for social care; the personal budget figure; and details of any direct payments that have been agreed. This applies to both the service user (care and support plan) and carer (support plan). Factsheet 46 April of 48
19 You can have a personal budget as: a direct payment (money given directly to you), if appropriate; a budget managed by the local authority; or in the form of an individual service fund where the funds are managed by a service provider or a combination of these. You must be given appropriate support, advice and information to allow you to make an informed choice as to how best to arrange your funding process. You must not be put under any pressure, for example to accept direct payments. All that matters is what is best for you to achieve the best possible outcomes. From April 2016, there will be the option of an independent personal budget where an individual simply wants their contribution to meeting their assessed, eligible, needs metered (recorded) towards the new care cost cap and doesn t want to be means tested. This is in the new care accounts that will be introduced at that time. Some local authorities are assessing for the care accounts required for this process prior to April 2016 to avoid capacity issues at that time. It is advisable to find out what your local authority intends to do to ensure that your contributions to meeting your eligible needs are registered by the start date. 3.4 The local authority means test Minimum Income Guarantee Part 2 of the charging regulations requires that your weekly income must not be taken below a certain level as a result of the local authority means test for service provision. Section 8 and Annex C of the statutory guidance provide further information on the treatment of income. These both confirm this requirement, which is set down in section 14 of the Care Act After paying the required charge your income should not be reduced below a minimum income level of Income Support plus a buffer of 25% to cover daily living costs. This is including personal allowances and appropriate premiums, but excluding the severe disability premium which is considered to be income available to help towards the cost of care and support. For people aged 60 or over a pensioner premium should be included in the basic level of Income Support or local authorities should use a basic Pension Guarantee Credit calculation. Factsheet 46 April of 48
20 Note: The Pension Credit calculation for older people who are entitled to this benefit is not stated as clearly in the new statutory guidance as it was previously, but it appears that nothing has actually changed in terms of the required, age-related, procedure. The basic weekly level of Pension Guarantee Credit is for a single person, which, with the 25% buffer added, gives a total protected income of If you are also a carer a further will be included in your Pension Guarantee Credit and therefore your protected income should be Where a person is a member of a couple the basic figure plus the buffer is You should also be allowed to keep any additional benefit or tax credits paid because you have children, but see section 3.5 for the way the additional amount for severe disability is treated. If you do not have capital, as described in section 3.8, and your charges leave you with an income below these figures, you should ask for the level of the charge to be reviewed. If you receive meals as part of your package, these are normally charged at a set rate and are outside the calculation of your charge, and will be on top of what you are assessed to pay. Note: Income Support will be changed to being an element within Universal Credit in a rolling programme between now and Part 4 of the charging regulations confirms that your income should be calculated on a weekly basis. 3.5 Charges against disability-related benefits The Care Act 2014 charging regulations and Annex C of the statutory guidance allow disability benefits to be taken into account as part of your income when calculating how much it is reasonable to charge you.

FX has picked up 13 episodes of American Horror Story, from Glee co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who teamed up for the cable network's plastic-surgery drama Nip/Tuck before setting their sights on Fox's hit about high-school singers.
American Horror Story will premiere in October, in time for Halloween.
Producers have been scarce with details, but say the show stars Dylan McDermott (The Practice) as Ben Harmon, a psychiatrist who moves with his wife Vivien (Friday Night Lights' Connie Britton) and teenage daughter from Boston to Los Angeles "to reconcile past anguish."
Oscar-winning actress Jessica Lange, in her first regular TV role, will play their neighbor.

Artists who have created and displayed their art on the shore of the Hudson River in Emeline Park, Haverstraw, NY at the annual Haverstraw RiverArts & Music Festival.
John Murray
Artist John Murray is from Manhattan, and these past eight years he has had a dedicated studio practice in Bushwick, Brooklyn. John graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Art History and is otherwise a self-taught artist. In his practice, John finds greatest value thinking about art's relevance towards defining the future of our next cultural zeitgeist. John believes that symbols have the greatest power to shape ways of thinking. Yet, while positive intent is behind John's artwork, this artist is equally interested in finding the value and the beauty in that which is related to the violent, the mad, and the perverse. John chooses to ignore no aspect defining the inner workings of our minds.
John's metal shop has played a role in the Barneys New York flagship holiday window display these past three years, he has exhibited throughout New York City and New Jersey including installations in the administrative offices of PS1 MoMA, and he is also among the corporate collection of Rosetta Books Publishing House on Wall Street. Late Fall 2016, John will be launching an educational resource at his website designed to propel the technical development of artists interested in working with industrial materials.
Paula Madawick
Paula Madawick is a third generation artist. She moved to Rockland County in 1952, left twice and returned twice.
Her formative years were spent in an avant-garde household in Pomona with cultural forces such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage. After graduating from Spring Valley High School as an art major she moved to New York City, attended then quit the School of Visual Arts, and became artist's assistant to Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg and tended bar at Andy Warhol's parties in the Factory. Years later Paula again studied art at the School of Visual Arts and Cooper Union and SUNY. She received her degree Bachelor of Visual Studies in 1992 from SUNY Empire College.
Paula is known for her detailed colored pencil drawings of realistic landscapes. These works on paper measure 3 x 4 inches to 3 x 8 feet. More recently she has left the world of landscape and embraced her abstract beginnings. She has found a place where she is comfortable with any material and likes the idea that it is between realism and abstraction. She works abstractly, figuratively, realistically, with colored pencils, crayons, plastic netting, graphite, oil paint, paper, and stone. She left the confines of paper and branched out into wall sculpture and then outside to rock piles and bricks.
Paula has won many awards and been a contributing writer to eight books about colored pencils drawing. She has exhibited in museums and galleries across the country and locally including in New York City: Leo Castelli Gallery; Mathew Marks Gallery; National Arts Club; and in Rockland County: Blue Hill Arts and Cultural Center, Pearl River; St. Thomas Aquinas College, Sparkill; Rockland Center for the Arts, West Nyack; and the Edward Hopper House, Nyack. She is in the collection of JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, New York City and Dana Library, Rutgers University, Newark, NJ. The New York Times, The Bergen Record and Rockland Journal News have favorably reviewed Paula's work. Paula Madawick was the Executive Director of the Edward Hopper House, Gallery Director of the Zakin Gallery, Demarest, NJ and an art teacher at the Rockland Center for the Arts for more than 25 years where she continues to teach.
Jack Burger
Jack Burger is a published author working on his third book. With a B. A. in Geology from Columbia University and a Master's Degree in Geology from Michigan State University he worked as a geologist for 10 years. He then changed direction and became a reporter for business and technical magazines, retiring from McGraw-Hill Company as a Senior Editor.
Jack has collaborated on art projects including Bundled Conversations, an installation exhibited in Jersey City and The Bird Show, an installation at the Old Church Cultural Center, Demarest, NJ. He also produced three evenings of drama vignettes at the Edward Hopper House Art Center that were funded by the Arts Council of Rockland and was the recipient a grant from the Vermont Studio Center for the advancement of his second book.
Jack co-authored the lighthearted comedy Costumes Optional that was produced at three different venues in Northern New Jersey and was an actor in numerous theater productions with the Iron Mountain Stage Company of Ringwood, NJ.
The Haverstraw Brickyards is Jack Burger's fourth collaboration piece with Madawick.
Patricia Catanzaro was born in Pearl River, NY, is employed in Palisades, NY and has lived in Washington DC, Southampton, NY, Italy and currently in Park Ridge, NJ. She is an award-wining artist whose art career spans a half a century. Her chosen medium is oil on canvas but she has been known to paint on chairs, shoes, doors and other media.
Her exhibition resume starts in 1968 with a juried NBC Art Show, she won a second place for her effort, and continues through into November 2016 when she will have a solo show at the Park Ridge, NJ Library. Between these dates she has concentrated on showing in the tri-state area. Patty has exhibited in group and solo shows, juried shows, at art centers, Rockland Center for the Arts and the Edward Hopper House; universities, Montclair State University, Fairleigh Dickenson University; and museums The Parrish Museum, The Bergen Museum and Montclair Art Museum. Her oil paintings are in collections across the US and in Italy.
Gabrielle is an artist and designer born in Rockland county, and currently resides across the Hudson River in Tarrytown, NY. Gabrielle attended SUNY Oneonta where she earned her degrees in studio art and graphic design. After graduation, Gabrielle quickly transitioned into a career as a full time web designer, while maintaining a freelance design business and creating her own works of art after hours.
Gabrielle has an intrinsic need to create in all aspects of her life; she finds her personal art to be a place of her true creative expression. Nature plays a meaningful, inspiring role in her art, offering respite from the monotonous confines of cubicles and screens. Her paintings portray colorful and detailed floral arrangements in interior settings. Merging the natural world with fabricated settings, she finds balance in the opposition that is both realistic and imaginative. In Gabrielle's current series of paintings, she is looking for ways to marry the female figure with her fascination with flowers: somehow they always find their way into her work.
In addition to working in art and design, Gabrielle and Jeff Dietz, collaborate on a series of sketchbooks and host community events in Tarrytown under the moniker "Brieff Studios.
Visit Gabrielle's website.
Jeff arrived in the Hudson River Valley by way of the small suburban town of Hudson, Massachusetts. He has infectiously made art for longer than he can remember. He is constantly carrying a camera and a sketchbook, searching for inspiration everywhere, with a strong connection to sunlight, trees, and the streets. Monday to Friday, nine to five, he works as a commercial photographer and videographer in White Plains. When he gets back to his home studio, he compiles small artist books, collages, and photographs. Many of these small works have made their way to the hands, houses, and mantles of other artists around the country via the U.S. Postal Service, connecting with photographers and artists from New York, to Philadelphia, Chicago, and Seattle.

Susan Luss
Susan Luss is a multi-media artist living and working in New York City. She considers the relationship between being in the work under construction and subsequently outside the work in reflection, leading to perspective differences that raise questions not only about process but also allows for a deeper understanding of the materiality of her work. Her works become physical places that contain not only personal identity, but also contain potential for connection with the stories of others, formed in the memory of a place, layers of interwoven textures, each as metaphor of the lived experience.
She has exhibited her work in group exhibitions in the New York, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Vermont, and France. She has curated for Artober Art Walk, Drawings on Myrtle. Ms. Luss participates with artist group "ArtShape Mammoth" as well as "Bushwick Art Crit Group" (BACG).

James Tyler
The stone heads of the Olmecs, the fabled Colossus of Rhodes, Michelangelo's David, the masonry spires of Manhattan, whether the work of individuals or civilizations, it seems that we as a species are driven to make beautifully improbable objects. The Brickhead Sculptures and larger Colossus Project sculptures are inspired by my enduring fascination with the curious constructs of human kind.
Site specific interactive electronic components are incorporated into the artworks. Sound elements placed within the sculptures interject a narrative with the viewer. This is a mechanism with which I introduce the passage of time and attempt to hold the viewers attention for a moment longer.
The Brickhead Sculptures can be envisioned as the contemporary relics of our own civilization. Monumental personifications of place and entity, they are 'beautiful objects' that present us with a call for thoughtful reflection about the nature of contemporary society. At the same time, these sculptures are a celebration of the creative universality of humankind.

Minimum funding still remains for Middle Township's Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Program, which expires at the end of the summer regardless of whether the funds are used.
The township applied for, and was awarded, a two-year $27,125 PetSmart Charities' Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Grant in 2011 to help alleviate its feral, or free-roaming, cat overpopulation problem.
With the funds, the township organized a Trap Neuter Release program in partnership with the Animal Alliance of Cape May County's Spay/Neuter Clinic in Middle Township.

They also must set up the procedure appointment and organize the cats' delivery to and from the office.
If needed, the township will provide assistance to humanly trap the cat in order to bring it to the clinic for the procedure as well as to released back to where it was found after the procedure.
There is no fee for the program applicant and applications will be accepted at a first-come, first-serve basis.
As of last week, about $1,200 of the grant remained, which at a procedure cost of $55 per cat would allow funding for 21 additional cats. The township's goal was to have 500 feral cats spayed and neutered under this program by September 2013 when the grant expires. To date, 472 surgeries have been completed.
The goal of the program is assure the cats aren't continuously reproducing, said Middle Township Administrative Assistant Dawn Stimmel, the program organizer.
At the rate the program has been going Stimmel is confident the township will reach its goal.
"Every day, I have someone coming in to get an application," she said.
The township is looking into reapplying for the grant, or similar grants, to extend the program.
