Review. Redo. Renew. By Marie Doyon

ust as nature moves through seasons of activity, dormancy, death, and rebirth, so too does the Jewish calendar flow through an annual cycle of renewal. The Jewish High Holidays are celebrated surrounding the autumnal equinox, marking an important transition. “After the intense heat and activity of summer, we turn to Fall and begin the return inwards,” explains Shir Yaakov Feit, founder of Kol Hai, a Jewish Renewal spiritual community based in New Paltz. “It is a time for introspection—a process of taking account and making new intentions." The unofficial start to the High Holiday cycle is the month called Elul which runs this year from August 11 through September 9. Elul is an acronym for the Hebrew verse from the Song of Songs, “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.” The relational quality of this phrase characterizes the theme of the month, Shir Yaakov explains. “The whole month is dedicated to looking at which relationships may need repair. This could be your relationship to God, your partner, your family, the planet, or to yourself.” He uses a metaphor to explain this period of self-assessment. “Before the reboot of the High Holidays, we review our past year and ask ourselves, ‘What apps do I really want to be running?’” This time of reflection is a preparation for the rebirth signified by Rosh Hashanah, the NewYear, and the setting of new intentions. “What we become aware of in Elul, we give name to in Rosh Hashanah,” Shir Yaakov says. The two-day festival of Rosh Hashanah is a celebratory, transcendent time. At Kol Hai, the services the first evening and following morning are filled with music, Torah readings, meditation and poetry. On the second day, the community heads into nature to hear the call of the shofar—the ram’s horn, which is blasted 100 times. “The shofar is a prayer without words. It calls our souls to wake to something deeper even than language,” Shir Yaakov says. “We are trying to bring new life into the world, new justice, new peace.” Following the celebration of Rosh Hashanah is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar—Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is often called the “day of atonement,” though Shir Yaakov prefers to refer to it as the “day of at-one-ment,” when 10 CHRONOGRAM 8/18

people connect with an unblemished spiritual energy. “We recognize the gift of soul, and connect with the part of us that has always been part of the divine and always will be.” In keeping with Kol Hai’s tradition of music-filled, joyful community services, the atmosphere during Yom Kippur is one of forgiveness, compassion, and rejuvenation. After the cleansing and rebirth of the High Holidays comes Sukkot, a weeklong full moon harvest celebration, in which temporary leafy structures open to the sky are built outside. “We share meals and song and celebrate. The structure is a creche, a cradle, to protect us in our newborn state. We celebrate the fragility and mystery of new life,” Shir Yaakov says. KOL HAI HIGH HOLIDAYS 2018 High Meadow School 3643 Main Street, Stone Ridge, NY 12484 Rosh Hashanah Sunday, September 9th, 6:30pm Monday, September 10th, 9:30am Tuesday, September 11th, Hike (time and location TBA) Shabbat Shuvah Saturday, September 15th, Morning Altars Workshop with Day Schildkret.

A Main Street Gem GREEN MOUNTAIN MINERALS

ince the arrival of Dia:Beacon and dozens of fine art galleries over the past decade, Beacon has become a hub of the Upstate art scene. A visit to the riverside town for Second Saturday, the monthly citywide celebration of the arts, will confirm this with its countless open studios and artist receptions. And now Beacon has a new kind of art destination—a fine mineral gallery. “We want to educate people about the science of mineralogy, the joy of collecting, and about minerals as objects of beauty, as Mother Nature’s art,” says Kevin Schofield, the principle geologist for Green Mountain Minerals. These are not your average rocks, or even the cut and polished crystals that people carry for their metaphysical qualities. The specimens sourced and sold by Green Mountain are rare, exquisite, and highly valuable mineral formations, coveted by collectors as objects d’art. Green Mountain has had a quiet presence in the Hudson Valley for over a decade, though they largely dealt in private sales or at mineral trade shows. Earlier this year, Green Mountain Minerals took over the commercial space at the front of 412 Main Street and set up a treasure trove of mineral wonders, with the goal of becoming an integral part of Beacon’s Main Street gallery community. “In addition to providing a welcoming space to marvel at and potentially collect beautiful minerals, we also wish to actively educate our friends and neighbors on all matters mineralogical,” Schofield says. Plus, every child leaves with a free crystal. —Marie Doyon

The ART of LEARNING Museums and Education

By Anne Pyburn Craig

he value of experiential learning is obvious: It’s the difference between reading a textbook interpretation and reading a person’s own words beside the desk where she wrote them and walking in her fooststeps. Not even the most ardent art history lecturer can compare to the experience of standing inches from a canvas or sculpture with an artist at your side. It’s this basic awareness that undergirds the development of learning standards that emphasize primary and multiple sources. And it’s this awareness that fueled the passage of the Museum Education Act, approved by the New York State Legislature in June and currently awaits the governor’s signature, which would establish a $5 million museum education grant program intended to allow New York’s 1,600 or so cultural institutions to serve more school districts in this era of reduced funding for education and the arts. Here in the Hudson Valley, museum folks have been refining their educational programming for decades. At the FDR Library and Museum in Hyde Park, toured by 30,000 students last year, Education Director Jeffrey Urbin says the process starts in second grade. “The minute students get off the bus, their lunches are put on carts named for FDR’s Four Freedoms,” he says. “They’re learning from the first minute. They meet Fala—a person in a dog costume. The kids all love pets, so there’s an immediate emotional connection. There’s only so explicit you want to get about the mid-20th century with seven-year-olds. For example, we describe Hitler as ‘the world’s worst bully’ and explain that FDR had to stand up to him, just as they need to stand up to bullies at school.” 8/18 CHRONOGRAM EDUCATION 29

Students visiting Historic Huguenot Street in 2017.

Grades 4 through 6 are introduced to the five constitutional roles of the presidency through a “pretend you are the president” exercise. “If you ask kids if they think it would be easy, the first answer tends to be ‘yes,’” says Urbin. “But then they come to understand that it’s more like having homework in every subject every single night.” For teens and adult learners, the institution can draw on its collection of some 17 million pages of primary source documents. “If you’re looking for two exciting people, [Franklin and Eleanor] were absolutely your guy and gal, and you don’t have to be a history geek to get that feeling,” says Urbin. “The Depression, the New Deal, the creation of the United Nations—for a time, in the mid-20th century, Hyde Park was truly one of the centers of the earth.” The National Park Service offers its programming to all school districts free of charge, and a grant from AT&T helps cover transportation costs for cash-strapped districts. AT&T also collaborates with the National Archives and Records Administration to create digitized “curriculum hubs” that bring the Library and Museum to the classroom, whether in Poughkeepsie, Oshkosh, or Anchorage. Boats, Boats, Boats Even without the resources of the National Park Service and a big telecom at their disposal, area museums are fully up to speed with curriculum standards and document-based learning and eager to incorporate schools. “They study the history in school, but it’s much more exciting when you grasp that it

happened right here under your feet,” says Sarah Wassberg Johnson, director of education at the Hudson River Maritime Museum in Kingston. “Reading the words of George Washington to the elders of the Old Dutch Church, a local woman writing to her mother about the Stamp Act, or a letter of passage issued to a British deserter brings it home.” The Maritime Museum offers an in-school document-based experience for grades 4 through 8, drawing on excerpts from John Lambert’s Travels Through Lower Canada and the United States of North America, 1806, 1807, and 1808. Thematic on-site field trips range from “Boats, Boats, Boats,” for the youngest to Revolutionary War history and environmental stewardship in partnership with Poughkeepsie-based environmental nonprofit organization Clearwater. In spring 2018, students got onboard a replica of the Onrust, the ship used by Captain Adriaen Block in a 1614 expedition to chart Henry Hudson’s discoveries. The museum currently offers teachers a menu of 11 curriculum-aligned options and a list of potential funding sources. Johnson says the museum has worked with area educators ever since its beginning in 1980, but the growing recognition of the importance of firsthand learning has created new opportunities. “We started our program for every fourth-grader in Kingston with funding from the Boice Bros. Dairy in 2014. They dedicate the profits from their World’s Longest Ice Cream Sundae event. Getting that seed money made a big difference; the district could not have afforded to do it on their own.” 8/18 CHRONOGRAM EDUCATION 31

The Hudson River Maritime Museum’s Summer Sailing workshop in Kingston.

Art and Artifacts At the Dorsky Museum on the SUNY New Paltz campus, educator Zachary Bowman works with Ulster BOCES, the NewYork State Arts Teachers Association, and the college’s own resources to get students face-to-face with its 9,000 square feet containing 5,500 works spanning 4,000 years of global culture. “For Title I schools in underserved districts, just paying for the busses to get here can be prohibitive,” says Bowman. “So the decision was made to establish a pool of funding for that. We’ve had a group from Newburgh Free Academy come to an exhibit that fit what they were studying.We’ve welcomed a number of art classes, but our collection can enrich other areas—say you’re teaching Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent, we can pull out actual toy-related objects, create a physical connection across time.” Dia Beacon began collaborating with Beacon city schools in 2001, before the museum was officially open. “Every year, an artist partners with the district for in-school and on-site programming; tours are guided by practicing artists who make it a very experiential, participatory experience with the student at the center,” Director of Education Meagan Mattingly says. “We have teachers who’ve been working with us since the beginning. We have an intensive program that’s open to high schoolers from all over the region; they can participate for all four years, and some go on to become interns and employees here. It’s really important to us that there be no barriers for entry. The Arts Education program is funded by the Sackler Institute, and is completely free for students. Not every teen participating is a visual artist; we get a mix of all kinds of creative and critical thinkers, and our artists work as allies to help them understand how to make their ideas actionable.” Common Core-Aligned Across the region, educators can access museum resources touching on every subject area. The Hudson River Museum, based in Yonkers, partnered with Museum School 25 to explore “the Hudson River, shapes, and patterns, the solar system, constellations, and the art on our walls” in weekly on-site and classroom sessions for grades pre-K through 2. The Gomez Mill House in Northern Orange County has been partnering with Newburgh schools since

1995 to host over 1,000 children a year at their unique site, offering history dating back to 1714 and incorporating “entrepreneurism, American founding principles, American Revolutionary period history, history of Newburgh from Dutch period to the present, arts and craft history and paper making, and civil rights and suffragist movements” through the story of the five key families who owned the oldest American Jewish residence in existence. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Sullivan County offers educators its E3 (Engage. Experience. Explore.) program for both on-site and in-school arts experiences, as well as Common Core-aligned social studies in its Explore the `60s program. No discussion of museum-school collaboration in the Hudson Valley could be complete without a mention of the goings-on at Historic Huguenot Street, where the oldest original neighborhood in the US is expanding and refining its already-rich programming under the direction of award-winning museum and interpretive planner Liselle LaFrance. Little ones meet “Hugo the Huguenot,” write with quills, visit a wigwam, and play period games in costume. Teens study “Life and Death in the 1700s” with the aid of video, house tours, and the French Church Burial Ground, or interrogate French portraiture. Every program offering lists the precise Standards and Common Core requirements met; on the testimonial page an informal standard that may be at least as crucial is mentioned. “Middle school students are challenging,” writes a 7th grade teacher. “The information was presented in such a dynamic, interesting manner that all the students were continually engaged...All the students raved about how interesting the tour was and were able to describe various historical facts they learned.” The list goes on; this is but a slice of the programming available should Governor Cuomo see fit to sign the Museum Education bill into law. And museum educators are always eager to see more kids. “Give me any idea, and I’ll find objects that are related,” says the Dorsky’s Bowman. “Most museums are eager to align with schools. We want all the teachers and all the students to know this is for them, this is something they can feel comfortable with, take some ownership. And of course, we hope we’re inspiring lifelong museum visitors in the process.” 8/18 CHRONOGRAM EDUCATION 35

Dandelion Grows in the Hudson Valley GEOTHERMAL VIA GOOGLE By Marykate Marley

n the summer of 2017, Dandelion CEO Kathy Hannun, Director of Communications Katie Ullmann, and a cadre of interns roamed Rhinebeck’s village center to introduce homeowners to their geothermal start-up. Standing outside of Bread Alone, they offered free cups of coffee in exchange for hearing their pitch. Now, they’ve installed dozens of their geothermal systems around the Hudson Valley. In August, some of the homeowners who received the systems will open their homes to the public to celebrate and demonstrate how it works. Indeed, they have good reason to show off their goods—last winter Hudson Valley oil companies raised prices anywhere from 4.4 to 32.7 percent over the previous year. Meanwhile, those with Dandelion systems may be paying as little as half of what propane and oil users are paying. Geothermal energy harnesses the natural heat from the earth to heat and cool buildings. Essentially, water is pumped a few hundred feet down, heated by the earth and then pumped back up to the building, with only a small boost needed from electricity. However enticing, historically it’s been a very expensive alternative, costing homeowners an average of $40,000 for installation. That’s until 2015, when Kathy Hannun, product manager at X, Google’s subsidiary, Alphabet’s semi-secret research and development lab, brought to her colleagues’ attention the lack of work done globally to offer homeowners heating and cooling alternatives. “Nobody says, ‘I love my fuel company,’” says Hannun. And yet 70 million US residents, mostly on the East Coast and Midwest, white knuckle it each year as they pay for bad experiences with 36 ART OF BUSINESS CHRONOGRAM 8/18

fuel companies, long wait times on fuel oil deliveries during storms, and unpredictable fuel oil prices. Hannun started digging into why geothermal technology is so niche and expensive. “Because if it were more accessible,” says Hannun, “it would be a great solution and more pleasant to use than a lot of the alternatives.” X’s team began playing around with faster drills, business models, software that could be used to help with marketing or installation, and other ways to turn geothermal energy into a marketable business. That’s when Ullman jumped on board to help develop the go-to-market strategy. Part of that strategy was figuring out where to bring the product to market. “We accessed publicly available data from tax parcels on fuel types and used that to make a map so we could look at where people lack access to natural gas,” says Hannun. After narrowing a worldwide map down to NewYork State, they discovered that the Hudson Valley and the Capital Region have the densest US population of single-family homes using oil and propane for heating. Rhinebeck is ground zero because the Dandelion crew already knew a number of people there, including former Google chairman Eric Schmidt, who wants to install geothermal at the historic Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, which he owns. In the spring of 2017, with Ullmann by her side, Hannun took X’s products to market in Rhinebeck, founding Dandelion with the mission of bringing geothermal technology to homeowners in an affordable, scalable, and simple way. But to carry out her mission, Hannun knew she had to do business differently.

Revolutionizing an Antiquated Industry The traditional way to implement geothermal technology is to take a comprehensive assessment of everything that needs to be changed or added to a home and then make a proper energy-efficiency upgrade. Essentially, this means renovating by replacing windows, adding insulation, installing a geothermal heat pump, and more. But Hannun knew this process wasn’t scalable. “If you approach every house that way, then every house becomes a custom situation. And there’s no way to really standardize the job,” says Hannun. Dandelion omits the home renovation process and instead focuses on selling geothermal technology as a product in its own right. Dandelion’s main product—the Dandelion Home Geothermal System—includes a site survey, installation of underground pipes, a buffer tank for hot water, a Nest Learning Thermostat, a smart monitoring system, and one of its new units, called the Dandelion Air. The Dandelion Air is a smart, low-maintenance, heating and cooling unit that Dandelion says is four times more efficient at heating in the winter and twice as efficient at cooling in the summer as conventional systems. Most of the components are manufactured through automation, enabling Dandelion to keep prices lower than other geothermal systems. Instead of shipping basic heating pumps with add-on parts that need to be assembled inhome, Dandelion’s heat pump includes the add-ons, which have been assembled previously. “It’s less man hours, cheaper to manufacture, and with the automation it really increases reliability and durability because, as we all know, humans are prone to error, much more so than a machine,” says Katie Ullmann, vicepresident of marketing. This, along with innovations such as their Dandelion Drill, which can bore a hole in 45 minutes, as opposed to conventional drills that take several hours to do the same job, enable homeowners to purchase the system for under $20,000 after tax credits, state rebates, and federal incentives—half of what a conventional system cost. And they offer financing options to help mitigate costs. Homeowners thinking of switching to geothermal can use the Dandelion Calculator to tell how much they’ll save on energy costs by collecting data about the home, such as the climate of its location, square footage, when it was built, and the home’s current electricity and oil costs.

Booming in the Hudson Valley The Dandelion Team, namely co-founder and chief technology officer, James Quazi, Ullmann, and Hannun, are reaching the public. People are ready for geothermal. For now, Dandelion is focusing its efforts in the Hudson Valley and Capital Region. “Whenever you start a company, or launch a new product, you really want to prove out the best-case scenario, so it made sense to go to the Hudson Valley,” says Ullmann. And Hudson Valley homeowners have responded. “We’re blown away by how many people are signing up here,” says Ullmann. The mayor of Rhinebeck, Gary Bassett, and the village board plan to eventually install ground loops throughout the town so homeowners can call to simply hook up for heat the way they would call to get a fuel company to service their homes—minus the fuel bills and inconsistent prices. “By enabling Dandelion to install ground loops along the right-of-way in the Village of Rhinebeck,” Bassett said in his announcement of the deal in December, “we remove the biggest barrier to homeowners adopting geothermal. It’s a nobrainer.” After installing dozens of systems, Dandelion expects to have installed a few hundred by the end of the year, which is not even close to the thousands who are on waiting lists across the country. “It’s a challenge to invest in making the technology and making the customer experience better and more efficient.” Ullman knows they can’t move as quickly as customers would like, despite bringing on new installers as fast as they can. “But we’re really making our way,” she says proudly. Just a few years ago, affordable geothermal energy wasn’t possible and now thousands of homeowners across the country are waiting for delivery. It’s pretty clear, thanks to Dandelion, that homeowners are ready to transition from fossil heating systems to renewable geothermal heating.

Woodstock

Driving or biking into town past Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, the Tibetan Monastery on Overlook Mountain, you’ll pass Family of Woodstock’s handpainted rainbow sign and perhaps marvel at the humble auspices of what is now the largest social services non-profit in Ulster County, founded in 1970 when a woman came to a town meeting on the topic of the hippies sleeping in the cemetery and said, “Give them my number.” Now the population sleeping around the Woodstock Artists Cemetery has expanded to include weekenders from New York City in beautiful Airbnb locations. Sleepy Woodstock has become a cosmopolitan destination and no longer drifts off into house parties and Rip Van Winkles around ten. You can get a grilled cheese and play a game of pool at The Station Bar &Curio until two in the morning. You can amble down Tinker Street as though you were in Venice, reading menus and trying to decide which excellent and stylish restaurant to patronize. Reynolds & Reynolds Taproom has music tonight, A&P Bar has that berry shortcake, and Joshua’s makes you feel as though you are in a treehouse overlooking the town. The former sous chef for Wolfgang Puck is at Harvest at The Lodge and people are raving.

Lex and Neil Howard have renovated the historic building next to Family, now known as the Colony, where you can see people like Happy Traum, Tracy Bonham, and visiting musical dignitaries perform. Debra Granik, director of A Winter’s Bone and meditation on Hudson Valley rehab culture Down to the Bone recently gave a talk after a recent Saturday night showing of her new film, Leave No Trace. You can get classic and jazz music at Maverick Concerts, tour the artist studios at the Byrdcliffe Guild, or check out bluegrass nights at Catskill Mountain Pizza and Celtic nights at the new Provisions Pub. There’s the Secret City and the Luthiers Showcase, rock shows at the Bearsville Theater and Levon Helm’s barn, and Shiv Mirabato’s Shivastan poetry ashram. Woodstock is a town with a psychic and a few head shops, so if you decide to go that route, you will have company. In a sign of the changes in the town, though, you’ll see that the large structure that was once the head shop, Not Fade Away, has moved next door and now houses quite a good restaurant, Sylvia, where you can eat oysters in leather banquets. Mountain Gate is down the street from Not Fade Away and is worth a visit if you are interested in curried chicken cream soup or mulligatawny and the quiet that used to permeate the town but now grows harder to find. Ten years ago, I was spending disproportionate amounts of time reading and collecting vintage clothing in Brooklyn and had gradually woken up to the fact that the city was now faster than a beating heart, as that poet said, and that it was time to move on. Moving up here, I was overjoyed to find a chiffon Sretsis gang dress at the Mower Flea Market (Saturdays and Sundays, plus Wednesday in July and August). The Sweetheart Gallery has a new showroom with windows from which you can covet blown glass lamps with embroidered shades, further expanding Woodstock’s glass galleries. “Pageant of Inconceivables” is currently showing local and New York small scale sculptors at Kleinert/James Gallery and Japanese designer Asa Warshafsky shows his bags among other designers at D-Day, a bright gallery where I wandered through “Shaking the Dreamland Tree,” curated by Jichee Schnee, featuring Will Lytle and other local artists.

The newest addition to the Woodstock gallery scene is the Burnette Gallery at 31 Mill Hill Road. The vision of singer/songwriter Tai Burnette, the gallery focuses on emerging artists. “Bite Me,” a group show curated by Lily Primamore and Nicole Pollina is on display through October 31. Ryan Giuliani and Jesse Halliburton have taken Woodstockers’ concerns that guests at Woodstock Way might become over enthusiastic during their stay on the Tannery Brook to heart. They’ve soundproofed the walls and ceilings of their new hotel so that neighbors will not be disturbed by visitors. (Time will tell how well this relationship evolves.) Guests can look at the stars through the tree branches while listening to local musicians’ curated record collections on their rooms’ individual turntables or lounging in a copper bathtub. Giuliani and Halliburton have created Woodstock Way using locally sourced woods, reprocessed pine, redwood, black locust, repossessed fixtures and local craftsmanship, as well as bikes from Overlook Bicycles to rent.

Saugerties

My French friend Margaux says of Saugerties: “It is like a little French beach town.” If you’re still enjoying the European analogies, you could say that if Woodstock is Tuscany, Saugerties is Umbria, the equally beautiful and yet underappreciated cousin of the celebrated family star. Walking down Partition street late this afternoon, the first place I stumbled upon was the newly opened Hudson Trade Company, the creation of Jen O’Brien, a Saugerties antiques veteran pursuing a passion for collecting and refurbishing in the wake of a serious car accident. She has wonderful taste and humors me as I fawn over her serious collection of antique ribbon made from French fabric. O’Brien shows me a vintage Miu Miu blouse she’s adding to her rack hidden in the corner of the second floor of this vast trove she’s chosen to cultivate, a former antiques shop that she and her staff have spent four months renovating.

Jen Dragon laughs when she hears my Umbria comparison. The owner of Cross Contemporary Art speaks Italian and has lived there, but now tells me about upcoming shows at her spacious gallery on Partition Street, which include poetry readings, and chats with me about the numerous sculptors who have chosen to live in Saugerties or who show their work here, such as MillicentYoung who shows her horsehair pieces in the windows of Newberry Antiques Co-op as part of a program called Windows on Newberry presently. Laura Huron at Bosco’s Mercantile lovingly takes me through her collection of luscious linens and cottons sheets and bedding by designers. A true connoisseur, she worked with Calvin Klein in the city before choosing fortunate Saugerties for her collectors. “Something about the community, the village and the town just spoke to me,” Huron says. At Fiber Flame craft studio on Route 212, you can walk in a create a project—but if you’re a writer like me who mostly works in fine-tipped black gel pens, you can also pick from a charming selection of pre-made crafts. I was captivated by a set of bells strung together with scraps of different sari fabrics. Design insider spot Green on Partition Street is frequented by Parsons administrators and students and provides Saugerties with a well-curated glimpse of mid-century modern. There’s plenty to recommend inSaugerties’ dining scene, beginning with the Pig or the recently renovated Dutch Ale House; and the ongoing debate between Mirabella’s and Slices about the best pizza. The Tavern at Diamond Mills is a gorgeous spot for summer al fresco eats overlooking the falls; Black Eyed Susies has upscale takeaway (try the cornmeal crusted chicken); Love Bites Cafe serves unfussy, locally sourced fare and cocktails; Miss Lucy’s is great for just a classy glass, or scallops, or dessert in a Mason jar and a beautiful collection of vintage aprons. Julian Hom, a photographer and ice cream artist, moved up from the city and started a business after his father gave him an ice cream maker for his birthday five years ago. “What did you think?” he asks me, about the city and about the ice cream. He’s young and stylish in wire-rims and a print shirt and creates custom ice cream flavors at Alleyway Ice Cream behind a framing gallery beside what was once a laborer’s union and which is now a vast and fashionable Airbnb. My favorites were roasted strawberry and orange blossom with pecan shortbread. While writing a piece such as this, it’s easy to think of more places and more people you’d like to include. This is a timeless, lovely place full of surprises and delights. I didn’t think I’d stay here so many years ago and now it’s difficult to imagine living in many other places. It was mostly biking between Saugerties and Woodstock that I came to this conclusion.

CAROLINE DIANI AND JEFFREY DOORNBOS ADOPT A STONE HOUSE IN GERMANTOWN by Mary Angeles Armstrong photos by Deborah DeGraffenreid

ctor and writer Jeffrey Doornbos is standing in the living room of the 18th-century stone house he shares with his wife, clothing and interior designer Caroline Diani. Under his feet, ancient wide-plank chestnut floorboards stretch throughout the entire main floor, skirting a brick fireplace blackened from centuries of usage and large enough to prop up a spit for roasting small game. Venetian plaster walls, punctuated by small, deepset, chestnut-framed windows illuminate the cozy sitting area and offer views to the surrounding four acres of gardens, fields, and barn. Above, hand-hewn beams and a wood ceiling resemble the rich toffee brown hues of the chestnut floor and suggest the entire parlor was carved from the same tree—or stand of trees—gracing the property three centuries ago. In the two years since Diani and Doornbos bought their 1752 stone house, multiple experts have come through, weighing in on the restoration of the landmark property, offering advice, history lessons, and a welcome to the couple’s new neighborhood on the east bank of the Hudson River. 48 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 8/18

Doornbos remembers carpenter Dan Dudley explaining the significance of the main floor’s construction. (Downstairs, a more informal living space— with a concrete floor, rough-cut beams, and another very, very blackened stone fireplace—was probably once used for daily living, the upstairs parlor would have been reserved for entertaining company.) Dudley was drawn to the main room’s floor boards almost immediately and explained that planks that large must have come from the middle of an old tree. “He told me they must have been the result of a windfall,” Doornbos explains. “I knew the term—a windfall: like, suddenly you get a bunch of cash. But he explained to me: When a storm would blow through these parts, it would take down whole trees and people would have so much wood they wouldn’t know what to do with it. The storms created a surplus—a literal windfall of wood. It was like ‘congratulations!’ But then they had to figure out something to build with it.” This sort of historic tidbit is indicative of the new, old world Doornbos and Diani are uncovering as they undertake the “slow remodel” of their two-bedroom, two-bath home. “It’s been like peeling an onion,” Doornbos explains. Built by German Palatine immigrants for English settlers in the Dutch style, the home was one of the earliest European homesteads in the colony. Their time on the East Coast, and the opportunity to honor and preserve the home’s history while updating it for comfort, has provided both husband and wife with the opportunity for some personal remodeling as well, and the beginning of a new creative chapter in each of their lives. East Coast, West Coast Divide The term “windfall” is apt. It well describes how Diani and Doornbos found their way from California to their new passion project, and the area they are falling for much more quickly than was expected. An English native, Diani has been living in Santa Barbara since 2002, when she took a gamble on a historic storefront and turned it into a successful row of clothing and home design shops, and her thriving business, Diani Living. This was no small feat in a town where real estate prices are some of the highest in the country and storefront

The two-bedroom home sits on four acres and includes a barn. Diani first discovered the property online while living on the West Coast. The couple promptly flew cross-country to see it in person.

businesses burn out almost as quickly as the hillsides. But by 2015, Diani was ready for a new creative challenge. “I came to a point where I asked myself, do I really want the next decade to look just like the last one?” She was already spending large amounts of time in NewYork City on buying trips, and became curious about the general vicinity. Doornbos had a similar longing to go East. A Michigan native, he’d lived in New York City for 15 years where he attended acting school and became a founding member of the Blue Man Group. Los Angeles, and the chance to be a part of the film industry, had called to him and he relocated to the West Coast where he eventually met and married Diani and moved into their home in the Santa Barbara hills.While both love Santa Barbara, and are grateful to the community and the opportunity to build thriving careers in the area, they simultaneously began longing for a return to their roots. “We missed the seasons,” Diani explains. “And I wanted to be somewhere more like my native England.” Doornbos agreed, explaining, “we had this run off 103 degree days—it was like it would never stop.” So, one very hot autumn night the couple reached a breaking point. While Doornbos was out, Diani got online and googled “historic house” and “New York,” stumbling right onto the property’s listing. When Doornbos returned home that night she shared her find: He was immediately intrigued. Doornbos suggested they go see it; Diani said she’d already booked tickets. The two flew out the next weekend, knowing the home was about two hours outside of New York City, but not much else about the area. After their realtor gave them a tour and some private time to walk the grounds, Diani asked her husband, “So, do you love it?” He looked back at the house and replied, “I feel like I never left. It really feels like we are home.” Diani felt the same way. The two went in to confirm a meeting with the realtor for the next day. But there was just one last detail: “Uh, where are we?” asked the couple. 52 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 8/18

Slow Growth The realtor suggested dinner at Gaskins in Germantown, to give them a taste of the area.They loved the meal, and every subsequent return trip to the East Coast revealed some new treasure, everything from housewares stores, to antique shopping, to the friendliness of their new neighbors, have enticed them to spend as much time as possible in the house, and in the area. “It’s just been this lovely unfolding of incredible experiences, things, place and people,” says Doornbos. “We thought it would take some time to get everything together and that we’d only be here periodically. But we fell so in love with it.” The couple decided to begin the home’s structural renovations right away, and began running the Diani Living brick and mortar shops remotely from Germantown part-time. With the intention of keeping everything “as period as possible,” but updating the house for functionality, they began by tearing up the ground floor. Built into the side of a hill, the ground floor space was often flooded, so they installed french drains to divert the water.Then then installed radiant heat under four inches of concrete and are now deciding between bluestone flooring or period brick as the final layer of what is now their dining room floor. They also plan to install a glass front wine cellar in the corner. The giant ground-floor hearth needed some repairs before it was fully functional. Doornbos and Diani replaced the stone flue and relaid the interior fire brick to create a working fireplace, but left the original blackened hearth intact. Although a 1950s addition, the downstairs kitchen incorporates original pieces from the home’s early days.White cabinetry and wood countertops provide ample space for meal preparation and are well positioned under windows with views of the grounds. White interior shutters swing down to preserve heat in the winter and period brick floors complete the space. A large wooden hutch, an original piece transplanted from another area of the house, takes up an entire wall, providing storage.

Top: One of the home’s two bedrooms, decorated with linens from Diani Living. Diani founded and runs a suite of clothing and interior design shops in Santa Barbara, California and the online brand Diani Living. Bottom: Doornbos and Diani enjoying a Hudson Valley summer day. The outdoor table features a marble top and metal side chairs.

Upstairs, the home’s two bedrooms are already very livable. Understated and cozy, both rooms have white planked walls, large interior shutters and stained wood flooring. The couple hopes to remove a large mirror lining the narrow hallway (“A gift of the 1970s,” Doornbos speculates) and remove an interior wall to reveal the original bluestone construction behind. After that, the couple will replace the home’s roof and seal up the third-floor attic, transforming the space into a master bedroom suite. For now, though, they are relishing every step of the process, savoring the chance to get to know their new home, and the new creative directions it has spurred in each of their lives. Rediscovering his love of live theater, Doornbos has become involved with a writing group in Tivoli and found his newfound love of the region paralleled by his discovery of its theater scene. “It’s all about community and feeling a part of something, regardless of your position in it. In a theater production you can be ‘third spear carrier on the left’ and you’re still there for the rehearsal process and the performances—you’re a part of the family.” Diani has loved the challenge of restoring and redecorating the historic property—a balance between staying true to the home’s integrity and tradition while updating it to be livable in the modern age. “I like to take time to be really connected to the space that I’m designing,” she explains. “I feel like it’s almost a spiritual journey that can’t be hurried. I like to listen to a room.” Diani admits that she’s very partial to historic homes and has already designed interiors for a few historic West Coast properties. She hopes her time in the Hudson Valley will provide new opportunities to bring her deft touch for comfort to other historic properties. About their beloved new house, they both take the long view: “We just want to caretake it and usher it into the next 250 years.” 54 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 8/18

The Horticultural Therapy Garden at

St. Gregory’s of Woodstock By Michelle Sutton Photos by Larry Decker People-Plant Connection The healing power of the people-plant connection has been documented by research for four decades. It’s fascinating to peruse the hundreds of compiled studies at the University of Washington’s “Green Cities: Good Health” website. Those studies demonstrate that we humans experience therapeutic benefit both mentally and physiologically from plants—from passive exposure to their beauty and from interacting with them in countless ways. In recognition of those scientifically proven benefits, the lovely Horticultural Therapy Garden (HTG) at St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church of Woodstock was designed to provide access and interaction for people of all ages and abilities. Horticultural Therapist Mariann Durkin and church members like Jim Dinsmore, Jesse Jones, Harry Kirn, and Margo McCloon planned and nurtured the vision for the garden for several years before breaking ground in 2004. The HTG was sited alongside a sanctuary/memorial garden and not far from a stunning stone labyrinth—all of which are open to the public, dawn to dusk, and located behind the church. The gardens are one of St. Gregory’s ways of serving the greater community, and they are nurtured by Garden Committee members Marie Duane, Elizabeth Barlow, and Karuna Foudriat. The HTG grew slowly as resources permitted and is now a unique resource in the Hudson Valley, as the closest therapy gardens to St. Gregory’s are in Westchester and in Ballston Spa. Mariann Durkin has been invested in the vision throughout. She has been a selfemployed landscape horticulturist for 25 years, and in the early 2000s, she earned her horticultural therapy degree from the New York Botanical Garden. She fulfilled her 300 in-service hours at the Center for Discovery in Harris, New York and the Unlimited Garden in Ballston Spa. 56 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 8/18

Access and Adaptation A professional member of the American Horticultural Therapy Association, Durkin has been leading sessions for groups at the St. Gregory’s HTG for four years.The same classes of young people from the Anderson Center for Autism have been coming year after year. “It’s been a joy to really get to know these kids,” she says. She has also led sessions for seniors and teenagers with behavioral challenges, and is working with the ARC of Ulster County.The HTG garden shed contains adaptive tools, and buckets and watering cans of all sizes. “The idea of a horticultural therapy garden is that it’s adaptive to all ages and abilities,” Durkin says. “Everything here is handicapped accessible.The pathways are wide and most of the garden beds are raised. If someone is in a wheelchair, they can reach the beds with a hose.There’s also beds at ground level for those who are agile enough.The whole premise of horticultural therapy is that you adapt to the population that you’re serving.” One of those adaptations is Durkin noting who needs/would like to do fine motor movements (deadheading, weeding, flower arranging) and who needs gross motor movement (wheelbarrowing mulch) on a given day—the needs can vary from visit to visit. “Recently, I could tell one young man needed gross motor movement to release some pent-up energy, so I encouraged him to mow the garden’s small grassy patch with the reel (non-motorized) mower. He was pleased, I was pleased, and he left the session on a high note. That’s the goal—leaving on a high note, feeling a sense of accomplishment and greater self-esteem.” It doesn’t matter if the lawn gets mowed just-so. “Like many things in life, it’s never about the outcome here—it’s really about process,” Durkin says. “We break activities down into as many steps and phases as needed, depending on the population.” Although the garden display is colorful and enticing, the display is secondary to the engagement with the process—a perfectly manicured garden has never been the goal.

ART GARDEN

Gathering Place Groups come from May until late October or early November, and they make heavy use of the pavilion within the garden. It’s where the groups circle up with Durkin when they first arrive to find out the plan for the session (usually, an hour). It’s also where creative activities are undertaken with gusto. The pavilion is where participants paint rocks to leave behind in the garden. (“That gives them a feeling of investment and pride, when they see their art works in the garden,” Durkin says). The pavilion is also where groups press flowers; make herb and garlic-infused vinegars; assemble seed packets; arrange flowers; make pesto from basil and garlic grown in the garden; design flower mandalas; make potpourri; practice plant ID using all the senses; and fashion seed balls. “We make ‘seed balls’ with clay, peat, water, and wildflower seeds,” Durkin says. “Then we toss them into the field, and as the rain comes, the balls break apart and release the seeds. It’s a fun, messy, successful activity.” Anything that has to do with seed saving is key, as seeds offer a fascinating window into the life cycle of plants. “For a lot of people these are completely new activities,” Durkin says. “I’ve had groups who’ve never seen a worm up close or held one in their hand. When the butterfly bushes were blooming last year, they were just covered in butterflies and one fellow couldn’t get over being that close to all these butterflies. It was really a moment for him, and was very moving.”

The Next Phase Durkin and all the garden’s supporters want the gardens to be utilized more, for horticultural therapy both informal and programmed. “I feel the classes we’re doing now are great, but I think we could do so much more,” she says. “I want people to know we’re here and to offer us financial support so we can continue to maintain our garden and expand our reach into the community.” Durkin envisions the garden adding square footage so participants can grow herb and vegetable crops for sale at local markets. “We could supply vegetables to church luncheons, and flowers for local events. This is my dream, for this healing place to be used more,” she says. She also wants to see more senior groups come, and thinks the pavilion would be ideal for bereavement circles. “When things are difficult in my life, I’m always looking to get back to something basic,” Durkin says. “It doesn’t get more basic than nature and gardening. I soak up the level of joy that’s cultivated in the groups that come here.They are engaged and happy; joy is imparted and exchanged.” In the center of the garden is a soothing, gurgling fountain shaped like a koi fish. “The kids love the sound of the water and that the fountain’s running, as it took a while to get it working properly and safely. Last year we had a big party with cake when it was finally running—it was a very exciting moment for us here.” Here’s to more such victories in the Horticultural Therapy Garden at St. Gregory’s.

LIFTING ALL BOATS PEEKSKILL

BY BRIAN PJ CRONIN

ecently I was on the Hudson with a group of folks from the UK who were paddling from Albany to the Gowanus Canal to drop off some canoes (it’s a long story.) A tidal change and a ferociously approaching thunderstorm forced us to make an unplanned pit stop in Peekskill. While we waited for the storm to pass and the moon to do its thing, we passed the time downing beers at the Taco Dive Bar, reloaded on calories at the Hudson Creamery, found ourselves in the middle of a graduation party down by the river, walked through a sculpture garden, and got some local do-gooders to pull some civic strings for us to arrange a dry—and free—place to sleep. The next morning, as we paddled away with the sun rising resplendently over the city, the leader of the group—a man who has hiked into the Amazon, ridden horses across New Mexico, and sailed to Antarctica, looked behind him and wistfully said, “I can’t wait to come back to Peekskill someday.”

You either laughed incredulously at that last sentence or nodded your head in agreement. If it was the former, you probably haven’t spent a significant amount of time in Peekskill since the mid 1980s, and are thinking of the city’s less-than-sterling reputation. If you’re in the latter camp, you know that reputation is outdated, inaccurate, and possibly a little bit offensive, as many of the locals think that it has something to do with the fact that Peekskill has always been one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the Hudson Valley. But the city’s diversity has always been its strength, even if its racial makeup has changed throughout the years. Jim Taylor, a retired principal in the Peekskill school system, remembers when the city was half African-American, like himself, and half white. Today Peekskill is predominately Hispanic, a population that Taylor says is responsible for Peekskill’s current revival. “They came here, fixed up houses, put their kids in the schools here, and made this community safer and stronger.” Ahead of the Curve Things surged from there, as Peekskill has managed to be one step ahead of other river towns in figuring out how to turn a city around. Decades before it became practically legally mandated for every young Brooklyn couple to move north in order to start a family, Peekskill was developing affordable lofts for working artists and other creative professionals. Before every town in the Hudson Valley had its own craft brewery, Peekskill Brewery was showing people a world beyond Budweiser. The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art proved you could successfully mix internationally renowned artists with local up-and comers. The young families came, and started getting involved in local schools and making sure that there were things for their kids to do. Peekskill Coffee House, which celebrated its 15th anniversary in June with a block party, figured out what all those artists and exhausted parents needed was coffee, and the Bean Runner Cafe figured out that they might want some live jazz to go with their coffee. The tide rolled in. Today Peekskill is awash in treasures both culinary (there are few better places in the Hudson Valley to be on the first warm night of spring than under the garden lights at the Birdsall House) and culturally (think of the mid-level acts and oldies that cycle through the Paramount theater, the annual film festival, and the yearly Hudson Valley Exposition on the waterfront coming up on on August 4.) But the city’s greatest treasures may be the ones that have

been there all along: The natural ones. Few Hudson Valley river towns can boast Peekskill’s wide harbor and view of the southern Hudson Highlands. And thanks to the fact that Route 9 goes over the town as opposed to through it, Peekskill residents don’t have to walk across a highway to get to the river, a rarity for towns on the eastern side of the Hudson. Full Steam Ahead But the river still remains inaccessible for too many, which is where Jim Taylor comes into the picture once again. Taylor may be retired, but he’s hardly resting. Head to Depew Park on the southeast edge of the city (the original practice field of the New York Jets,) and deep in the woods, behind an overgrown amphitheater and next to the basketball courts, you’ll find a warehouse that now contains the city’s Rising Tide boat building program. Sponsored by the city’s Youth Bureau, kids receive a stipend throughout the summer to learn from Taylor how to build wooden canoes and skiffs. The students start out building small models to scale, then simply replicate the process to build full-scale boats. Some of them have never been on the water before, but by the end of the summer they’re paddling down the river in boats they’ve made themselves. Taylor would like to modernize the program with 3D printers, to help the kids prepare for the technological changes coming to the job market, but not all the schools have access to 3D printers, much less a program like his. For every advance the city has made, with its new crop of civically minded volunteers and a city government that is finally becoming as diverse as its population, there’s still a need for more people to roll up their sleeves and pitch in. But maybe that next group of Peekskill citizens to pitch in will be the kids themselves, who for the first time in memory, tend to be sticking around after high school and college because they like it here, even after getting a taste of the world outside. Some of them can’t wait to get back. I asked the kids in Taylor’s program what it was like the first time they got out on the water, turned around, and saw their city from a whole new perspective. There was silence as the kids tried to figure out what to say, but Taylor, who taught himself to sail on the Hudson in the 1970s because there was no one else around to teach him, spoke up. “It looks a whole lot smaller, doesn’t it?” he said, and the kids nodded their heads in agreement. 8/18 CHRONOGRAM COMMUNITY PAGES 63

Let the Circle Be Unbroken Amy Helm Carries the Family Torch By Peter Aaron Photo by Fionn Reilly

72 MUSIC CHRONOGRAM 8/18

t’s one of those crazy-hot Woodstock afternoons that happened last month. Amy Helm is sitting in the house her father built, chilling in the A/C and talking about her two sons, Lee, 10, and Hughie, 6. “Lee’s at that age where he’s mortified to be seen with me. I have to drop him off down the street whenever I’m taking him somewhere to meet his friends,” she says while smirking and rolling her eyes. “They both love to sing, though. I can tell they’re both actually proud of what I do and proud of what their grandfather did.” Their grandfather—Amy’s late dad—was, if you’re not already aware, the legendary Levon Helm, known and loved the world over as the drummer and vocalist of the Band; her mother is the singer-songwriter Libby Titus, whose songs have been performed by Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, and others. Amy’s sophomore solo album, This Too Shall Light, which comes out in September, builds on the artful, introspective balladry of her mom and the deep blend of soulful blues fire, gospel harmonies, country grit, and elemental rock ’n’ roll that her father so famously pioneered. But despite her having Levon’s rich roots-rock blood coursing through her veins from conception and her singing along with him practically since before she could speak, it wasn’t until later that the proto-Americana he was most recognized for—a style many would’ve seen as his daughter’s birthright to carry on—actually hit home with her. “I was 17 and my mom gave me a tape of [the Band’s] Music from Big Pink, which, you know, of course I knew about, but I’d never really listened to before,” she remembers. “And my breath was just totally taken away. I played that tape on my Walkman on the way to school every morning and I just became totally obsessed with it. It was the tonality of the music, what Garth Hudson was doing on the keyboards. And Richard Manuel’s singing. Like everyone else, right away I wished I could sing like Richard, who’d just been kind of a curious memory of someone who’d been around during my childhood. I don’t remember thinking, ‘Wow, that’s my dad playing!’ I was able to listen to the Band’s music without much association.” Amy Helm was born in Woodstock in 1970. Her parents parted when she was six, although their relationship remained amicable as Titus partnered first with Levon’s good friend Dr. John and, eventually, Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen (similarly, Amy and her ex, saxophonist Jay Collins, the father of their two sons, are still on good terms). “I remember being really little and my dad sitting at the piano with me and teaching me how to play ‘The Tennessee Waltz’,” says Amy. “And I remember riding in the car with my mom and singing along with her to ‘Jolene’ by Dolly Parton. When I was about five, my dad was on the road and my mom was also working a lot, so I spent a lot of time in Arkansas staying with my [paternal] grandmother. So, at first, the task sort of fell to her to teach me a lot of the old hymns and traditional songs.” Amy made her recording debut at age nine, alongside her mother on a track for a “Sesame Street” tribute album and in high school formed a vocal group, the Chilly Winds, that reflected her then hip-hop and contemporary-R&B leanings (Cameo, RunDMC, and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam were faves). Her further immersion in the Band’s music opened her up to related sounds: Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and, especially, classic gospel. It was the latter, and the soul-searching aftermath of 9/11, that led the young singer to her first musical project of note, the band Olabelle, which grew out of the weekly “Sunday School for Sinners” gospel sessions at Lower East Side bar 9C. “At the sessions, different people would get together and just pick hymns and songs to do—it didn’t matter what anyone’s faith actually was or if they even had one,” she says. Things began happening quickly for Olabelle (named for folksinger Ola Belle Reed) once the lineup—Amy on vocals and mandolin (“I play it more like a guitar”); Glenn Patscha on keyboards and vocals; Fiona McBain on vocals and guitar; Tony Leone on drums and vocals; Jimi Zhivago on guitar and vocals; and future Levon Helm sideman Byron Issacs on bass and vocals—had congealed. “I think we’d only done about six gigs before we started making the first record.” Produced by T-Bone Burnett, Olabelle’s self-titled, gospel harmony-soaked debut appeared to fervent praise in 2004; Zhivago left after its release, but the group, which still occasionally performs, has since waxed three more acclaimed albums: Riverside Battle Songs (2006), Before This Time (2009), and Neon Blue Bird (2011). Around the time that Olabelle was beginning its ascent, however, Amy’s father was in a tough spot. Suffering with throat cancer, Levon was unable to do the film and voiceover work needed to cover both the expensive treatments for the disease and the payments on “the Barn,” his iconic home and studio. So, in 2004, taking a page from the freewheeling medicine shows of his Southern childhood, he turned the house into a music venue, hosting the now globally known, star-studded Midnight Ramble events that not only helped offset his medicals bills but continue to keep the mortgage wolves at bay. “A lot of people claim that they helped come up with the idea for the Ramble, but it was entirely my dad’s vision,” says Amy, who assisted in getting the sessions rolling and still performs

at them regularly. “The lion’s share of the money always goes to the musicians [performers have included Los Lobos, Elvis Costello, Dr. John, and Lake Street Dive, to name a few], and that’s how he wanted it.” Levon’s late-in-life career renaissance was inspirational for all to behold, and Amy was by his side for the whole ride, working with the rest of the crew behind the scenes at the Midnight Ramble; driving him to radiation treatments in New York; playing in his bands; coproducing his Grammy-winning comebacks Dirt Farmer (2007) and Electric Dirt (2009); and, ultimately, at his bed when he passed in 2012. Besides imploring her and the Ramble team to “keep it goin’,” Levon also encouraged his initially reluctant daughter to step out on her own musically. “I’d always been part of band before, and I think it’s natural to feel this nervous pressure when you go into the same business that your parents are in and you’re putting yourself out there under your own name,” she says. “But he really wanted me to [become a solo artist] and he encouraged me. So did my peers. And that really helped me feel like I had a musical purpose: to make good music that pleases people.” She formed Amy Helm and the Handsome Strangers, whose lineup has included Byron Isaacs and Ida guitarist Daniel Littleton. Her solo debut, Didn’t It Rain, which features her departed dad on several tracks as well as his guitarist Larry Campbell, the Band guitarist Jim Weider, organists John Medeski and Marco Benevento, and others, was released in 2015. The course of making it, though, wasn’t exactly a smooth one; the songstress scrapped and re-recorded much of the music along the way. “It was the first time I was holding myself up as a solo performer, so there were some expectations around things,” she explains. “I was lucky to have access to a studio [Levon Helm Studios] and to be able to work with players who are also my friends. I was still kind of on a learning curve then.” The making of This Too Shall Light, however, was a decidedly different process, and it’s a stronger, more focused album for it. Recorded quickly and with a minimum of fuss with Grammy-winning producer and musician Joe Henry in Los Angeles, it has a looser, palpably spontaneous feel that fits its artist well. “Making this record felt liberating,” Amy enthuses. “I’d already met Joe and I was a big fan of the productions he’d done for Bettye LaVette, Allen Toussaint, Susan Tedeschi, and other people, and I really wanted to work with him—when Larry Campbell and I were coproducing Dirt Farmer for my dad, we’d actually talked about having Joe mix it, but that didn’t work out. So I was more than happy to surrender to his direction, and we did the new album totally live in the studio in four days, without belaboring anything. My band just threw our shit in the room and started playing, Joe set the compass from there, and it was amazing. I pulled in some songs we’d been doing, and he chose some really good ones for us to do, too.” Besides the reflective title track, which was written by MC Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger and Josh Kaufman (BobWeir, Josh Ritter), This Too Shall Light’s standout cuts include covers of the Milk Carton Kids’ “Michigan” and, interestingly, “The Stones That I Throw (Will Free All Men),” a lost, gospel-tinged single recorded in 1965 by Levon and the Hawks during the brief period between their leaving rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins and hooking up with Bob Dylan en route to becoming the Band. “I’ve always really loved the whole vibe of that song,” Amy says. “It’s just a great, straight-up rock ’n’ roll dance tune.” This month, as she prepares for the launch of a new album and a tour to support it, the busy mom and musician—with the help of a trusty troupe of organizers—is launching yet another artistic venture: the Dirt Farmer Festival, a local, Ramble-sanctioned annual live music event. “We’re really excited,” she says about the festival’s debut. “My dad always wanted to create a music festival, so it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Plus, it’s right in the neighborhood and the lineup is really great.” Indeed: Among others, the affair’s debut roster features Jackson Browne,William Bell, and others backed by the Midnight Ramble Band; Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams; Hiss Golden Messenger; Terry Reid; the National Reserve; Gail Ann Dorsey; and, naturally, Amy herself. Besides those mentioned above, another of This Too Shall Light’s shining moments is an acapella rendition of “Gloryland,” a Southern hymn passed down to the singer by her father, who learned it from antiquity via his parents.With Amy joined around the mic by fellow singers Allison Russell, Doyle Bramhall II, and Adam Minkoff, the unadorned performance is at once humbling, beautiful, soothing, and uplifting. But traditional tunes, it seems, aren’t the only treasures that continue to be handed down in the Helm household. Amy’s oldest boy has been showing signs of his own yearning for the stage and the road. “Lee loves playing his guitar,” says his mother. “I can already tell he’s destined to be in a band, riding around in a van.”

“We did the new album totally live in the studio in four days, without belaboring anything.” —Amy Helm

NIGHTLIFE HIGHLIGHTS Steady Jenny

Handpicked by music editor Peter Aaron for your listening pleasure.

Fishbone plays The Chance in Poughkeepsie on August 14.

PAT METHENY August 2. Arguably the most influential jazz guitarist of the early 1980s, Pat Metheny arose via the forward-thinking ECM Records label and helped define the fusion genre. The winner of an incredible 20 Grammy Awards—and the only artist to win Grammys in 10 different categories—he started out with vibraphonist Gary Burton and made his recording debut on legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius’s 1974 album Jaco. Besides leading his own bands, Metheny, who here plays the Mahawie Theater with his current quartet, has deftly explored styles ranging from the aforementioned fusion to rock, bebop, Latin jazz, folk, and avant noise. (Wanda Houston and Sarah Kohrs sing August 3; Air Supply breezes by August 12.) 8pm. $45-$95. Great Barrington, Massachusetts. (413) 528-0100; Mahaiwe.org.

BATTLE CANDLE MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL August 4. “Complete with beautiful lakeside views and old, tangled-up barbed wire,” this edgy, new music and arts festival makes its premiere at a former prison yard in Orange County’s Wickham Woodlands Park this month. Sponsored by local organization INC (Interactive Noise Collective), the all-day-and-into-the-night event focuses on positive sociopolitical causes and offers food, crafts, and live music across multiple stages. The latter component mainly features regional underground rock, with sets by Sun Voyager, Dead Empires, Otis, Dead Channels, Sawce, Entropy, Taking Meds, Elephant Jake, Haybaby, Acid Beach, and many more. 11am7pm. $15, $20. Warwick. (845) 551-9606; Facebook.com/events/1980708252190074/.

RASPUTINA August 9. It’s been a while since the petticoated princess of gothic chamber rock, cellist Melora Creager, has graced an area stage with her long-running band, Rasputina. But here comes Creager and company to Colony for a night of Edward Gorey-esque alternative splendor. The frontwoman, who was interviewed at length in Chronogram back in 2010, founded her darkly

innovative band in New York in the early 1990s and performed with Nirvana on their 1993 tour. Along with several EPs and live discs, the group has released nine studio albums to date; the most recent is this year’s None but the Lonely Heart. Rasputina’s present lineup includes local musician Luis Mojica. Mamalama opens. (Sarah Perrotta performs August 2; the Blasters blow up August 10.) 8pm. $17-$20. Woodstock. (845) 679-7625; Colonywoodstock.com.

TRIBUTOPIA August 11. Another freshly minted Hudson Valley music festival that we didn’t have room for in June’s annual Summer Arts Preview is this day-long outdoor happening at Cantine Memorial Field. As one might expect, given its name, Tributopia is an event devoted to local tribute bands, and the classic rock-ing affair presents three such acts—I Don’t Know, an Ozzy Osbourne cover outfit who hail and wail from Orange County; Johnny Scarecrow, an Ulster-based Jethro Tull revue; and Feast of Friends, a hard-gigging, homegrown Doors repertoire project—along with performances by kids from the nearby Rock Academy and vendors serving barbeque, beer, wine, and other products. 2pm. $15 (children under 12 free). Saugerties. Tributopia.com.

FISHBONE August 14. Although formed in 1979, LA ska-punk-funk kingpins Fishbone didn’t release their first record, a self-titled EP, until 1985. But with their more focused sophomore full-length, Truth and Soul, and critically adored third album, The Reality of My Surroundings, the band rode the wave of late-’80s/early ’90s alt-mania and cemented their reputation as college radio favorites. Led by wired singer and saxophonist Angelo Moore, the group, who bounce into the Chance for this sure-to-be scorching summer show, blend high energy, goofball humor, and social commentary in a singular style that has made them a favorite live act around the world for more than 30 years. With Perfect Thyroid, the Steve Bello Band, the Pandemics, and the Lousekateers. (Beres Hammond toasts August 12; Corey Glover croons August 25.) 6pm. $20-$99. Poughkeepsie.

CD REVIEWS

ROCKET NUMBER NINE RECORDS

(2017, INDEPENDENT)

In a region rich in musical talent, Knock Yourself Out, in this writer’s opinion, are the Hudson Valley’s finest purveyors of blisteringly raw rock ’n’ roll. Honed to a razor-sharp edge by constant gigging from Brooklyn to Albany, the power trio of front man Josh Stark (guitar), Harrison Cannon (bass), and Mike Rasimas (drums), brings the heat of the Stooges and the heart of Hank Williams on this, their debut release. Baked into all the high energy is a keen and sardonic sense of humor. If you haven’t seen KYO live, do yourself a favor and catch one of their gigs, posthaste. They have a monthly residency at Quinn’s in Beacon and a fruitful ongoing collaboration with songwriter Mimi Sun Longo. Also check their new seven-inch, Turn It On.

PROFESSOR LOUIE & THE CROWMATIX THE LOST BAND TRACKS (2017, FUNZALO RECORDS/WOODSTOCK RECORDS)

The Lost Band Tracks, the latest from the Crowmatix, gathers a half-dozen songs penned by Jules Shear (with assists from Jim Weider and Stan Szelest) for the Band’s proposed 1991 Columbia Records comeback album. Shear’s tunes catch much of the estranged Robbie Robertson’s melodic majesty, which is still evident in these new recordings. One can hear the ghost of Rick Danko floating through “Too Soon Gone,” which borrows its shape from “It Makes No Difference.” And Levon’s Helm’s Southern grit sparks through “Tombstone Tombstone” even if he’s not there. Aaron “Professor Louie” Hurwitz has a history with these songs, so it’s fitting that he owns them in this context, drawing great performances from his crew. This can’t rightfully be called a tribute, because the selections did not officially enter the Band’s canon. But it can certainly be called a labor of love, and a pretty fine listen as well. Professorlouie.com. —Michael Eck THE LEVIN BROTHERS SPECIAL DELIVERY (2017, INDEPENDENT)

Given their ample discographies, it’s surprising the Levin Brothers—keyboardist Pete and bassist Tony—haven’t worked together more. Joined by their fellow Hudson Valley stalwarts, saxophonist Erik Alexander and drummer Jeff “Siege” Siegel, the bros are making up for lost time with their quartet and this first-rate live recording. Perhaps most impressive are the Levins’ own compositions—both share credit on five memorable tunes here—although their thoughtful arrangement of the folk standard “Scarborough Fair” and plaintive reading of Astor Piazzolla’s “Milonga del Angel” are also highlights. Ennio Morricone’s treacly “Theme from Cinema Paradiso” gets the high-gloss, Narada-sampler treatment in its introduction, complete with rare cello work from Tony. It feels like a misstep among an otherwise unimpeachable set of performances that, in the words of two album titles by Pete’s one-time employer Gil Evans, plunge both out of the cool and into the hot.

Are you the next Herman Melville? The Drama Teacher: A Novel Koren Zailckas Crown, 2018, $27

racie Meuller is an Irish mother of two living alone in a town of Catskill house that is rapidly losing its battle against mold and loans while her current husband has possibly abandoned her for a new Florida business venture and another woman. So Gracie does what she does best: She finds a wealthy mark to move in on, in this case a similarly lonely rich woman in Woodstock who dreams of building an extension on her house. This allows Gracie to relocate to her mark’s guest cottage under the guise of being the architect of her dreams. But just before her con is exposed, an unexpected tragedy occurs, sending Gracie and her children off the mountain to New York City, cloaked in a whole new set of aliases and backstories, in search of her next victim. As the novel follows the antics of this rather charming grifter, Gracie’s own backstory is revealed. At a very young age, her father kidnaped her from her beloved mother and taught her the basics of conning her way into other people’s lives and wallets in the British Isles. By the time she was old enough to leave the nest—or be pushed out as a result of her father’s latest scheme—Gracie was well prepared to perpetuate fraud on her own. She then met her first husband, Oz, who was perhaps the perfect match in illegal activity to her own father, and when the two men in her life finally meet, the collision is enough to send Gracie, then actually named Erin, off to America to expand her own resume of criminal activity. Gracie’s true talent is as a hacker. In lightning speed, she can unlock electronics, set up fake web pages, and design apps capable of tracing every real and virtual movement of anyone who might be catching on to her. She is also “charming,” which is author Zailckas’s best trick in this fast-paced caper. As a heroine who keeps her children from their fathers, raids people’s bank accounts with internet scams, and is possibly guilty of murder, charm is key for keeping the reader rooting for her as she hops from mark to mark. Zailckas is also smart to critique our society’s extreme divisions of wealth by keeping Gracie’s “victims” on the upper stratum of financial success. Starting in Woodstock, where her target lives among those of star quality like “Fashion photographers. Filmmakers. A few first wives of famous musicians,” Gracie then moves to the true epicenter of “star quality,” a prestigious private school in Manhattan where parents literally flock to actual celebrities attending their own children’s school events. At one point while Gracie—now named Marianna—is supporting he ex-husband Oz by defrauding people in internet schemes, she actually feels guilty realizing her targets are more lower-class victims and not the wealthy who, in her life view, seem to deserve it. In Manhattan, Gracie develops a rather affectionate relationship with her latest conquest, a teacher/adviser at the previously mentioned private school whom she initially cons to get her children the education she feels they deserve. He in turn sets her up to become the school’s drama teacher. Obviously, Erin/Gracie/Marianna is well-equipped to teach children how to be anything but themselves, and by the end, when all the chaotic histories of her parents and ex-husbands crash down upon her in a long-anticipated climactic scene, it’s time for the real Erin/Gracie/Marianna to emerge from the ashes. This presents our heroine with one last high-risk scheme: presenting her true self to the one she loves. Koren Zailckas reads at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on August 14 at 6pm. —James Conrad

LAST WORD

KILLER

BIRD IS THE WORD

The moth— its wings a lustrous pine bark gray & black, gone still as bark (wrong place, wrong reason)— a small death that stopped my broom. Tweezing it with finger & thumb, I set it for study on a stack of books, flattering myself: adroitly limned in a sonnet moth or twig? asks the sparrow— I’d make it live to tip and flutter in the concluding couplet, its immortality sealed in a perfect rhyme. Now, look: some furious dust-up overnight, and pitiless dismemberment— bits and flakes of dusky wing scattered like a note torn up in pique, as if to say: Go on, write your sonnet.

You’re all smoke and jazz deep kiss and dark hair whiskey-burned bright hazel eyes

crows came back this year… to pick up their dead

—Anne Richey

THE PAPER BOY

OWLS

My father likes to reminisce about his paper route when he was 10. Up every day at dawn, he’d carefully roll each edition of the Paterson Evening News and fit them snuggly into the front basket of his blue bike with balloon tires, able to jump curbs and ride the bumpy shortcut paths through neighborhood fields. In summer, the grass was high. A kid could get an old 50-foot clothesline, tie it to his dog Rex, walk out together to the end of the rope and lie in warm grass, his young boy’s perplexities wandering away with the clouds. His whole life was patiently waiting, but he could only imagine the copious ice cream sodas his weekly dollar would bring.

There is a hide on the peninsula where you can view owls. I love to watch them roost and blink their barmy eyes and swivel their perfect heads. That a creature so cuddly could be a killer mystifies me. But the bush is littered with their murdering.

I wonder if an old lady like me ever saw him riding by one fine morning and saw the man he was to become. Could she see the generations he would sire? Could she see the joys and the profound sorrows that awaited him? Could she see him at 90 slowly fading and know that this boy never gave a thought to getting old? Could she see a lifetime of infinite possibilities, like I do now, in a 10-year-old kid with a bicycle basket full of papers racing by on this glorious summer morning?

Birds petition the air for small favors: I take your hand & walk into a world even the wind can’t refuse….

Confusion I feel almost like an ax Has split my head in half. Part wants this, Part wants that.

POWERS Pressure comes from the responsibility that can Overwhelm; drown those ill-equipped for the flow that Washes over them.

UNFASHIONABLY LATE TO A FUNERAL

PERFORMANCE

The guy in first class looks familiar. As in somebody famous. I just caught a glimpse as I headed for my seat in economy. Movies. TV. The news. No name comes to my lips. It’s still bugging me when I’m buckled in and perusing the Sky Mall catalog.

It’s no wonder that the full moon affects us drawn like the tide. Textbooks profess that we’re 60% water the rest mostly corn. “Split the difference,” the scientists would say if they’d been born to pull wrenches. It’s a tradesman’s euphemism for “make them both a bit wrong for the sake of seeming right.”

It is early evening, and the sky is resting behind Its grey curtain.

There’s no one I can ask. Stewardesses are more concerned with the privacy of others than my curiosity. So from Providence to Charlotte, I spend ninety minutes rolling films and sitcoms, dramas and recent big news stories, through my brain. No matches. By the time I deplane he’s already in his limo. By the times he’s in his limo, I’m still scratching my head. That’s the problem with celebrities in this country. Not only is the guy more famous than I am, he even knows who he is. —John Grey

RENDEZVOUS (A DREAM) We meet at an outdoor cafe, you decades younger than we are now, in full summer skirt and short hair (the new Gina Lolobrigida style) seated and anxious smoking an anachronistic cigarette You radiate fight-or-flight. Bobby is dead. I order small plates of olives, bread and wine. An older man at the next table smiles at us (mostly you). He is debonair, seems kind. I step inside to pay the tab, and when I return you are gone. The man does not look at me or comment. I know that Daddy is dead, and you, my mom, don’t drink wine. —Sharon Watts

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE Nothing like tiny, Shy and lonely wild flowers Winking from the roadside. —Thomas Perkins Early morn cock crows. Again, again, and again— Everyone’s awake! —Gary Hittmeyer

On my way to sling pipe one guilty Sunday morning I spot a dead hawk in the shoulder of the highway. It’s close enough to the guard rail to say that some maddened motorist had aimed for it. There are sicker souls than those who would work on the Sabbath or put metal in their genitals. With the quarry next to the predator three feet beyond the white line that means wrong I nod and take note at 75 that there’s room on the cross for two. —Mike Vahsen

OLDER MALE FRIENDS Older male friends, Men my dad’s age Or thereabouts Bachelors for whom Success has been as elusive As love and companionship, Whose patience for change Has been worn away By successive waves of tech, Where the chrome diner Is a home away from home, A stool to dangle their legs, A single coffee mug in hand, A single spoon for the single Sugar packet adding taste— In some past world, Passing on to me the values Of our people, the land, my life; Here, now, they hand over In a ritual gesture All their confusion and fear Only, tempered By heart medication And my willingness to listen —G. D. Burns

The stars work hard— Sharpening their points As the fat moon tallies their fumbles. Having watched the sun depart in a spill of paint, They’ll see Who among them can poke with enough intent And hang, a sparkling pinprick, anxious, Possessed by tremors And the gravity of it all. The moon, you know, Has eyes on its dark side too. —Jennifer Wise

POPPED I was never spanked “Popped” is the term my mother used “get over here or else you’re going to get popped” I would say, “mom, no!” A good argument I thought Guaranteed to seal the deal My father never spanked me That was too feminine He would use euphemisms Or the opposite of euphemisms Euphemisms lessen the blow Like calling it “popped” He would say, “knock your block off” Or “beat some sense into you” Or “give you a knuckle sandwich” You know Real tough guy catchphrases Strangely, I was always more scared of my mom I like stripping things down to the most simple idea possible When he had a heart attack my mom said he “passed away” I like to say he died The truth lessens the blow —Veronica L. Martin

THE COWBOY On Halloween, I was with a cowboy, So young, innocent, and vibrant, Running the streets with his brother. You know what they say, boys will be boys. The world was his wild frontier, But by Christmas he was gone, shot down, Like a fleeting memory lost In the frivolous play of youth. Now he rides among the constellations, Shines down on the world. Every night I wish upon those lights, The nightmare will end, He’ll gallop home on a shooting star. —Magan Kasper 8/18 CHRONOGRAM POETRY 79

Food & Drink

HUDSON VALLEY VARIETY PACK DEFINING A REGIONAL FOOD IDENTITY PROVES CHALLENGING IN A LAND OF INNOVATORS

By Erik Ofgang

herever chef Ric Orlando travels, people have heard about the food and beverage scene in the Hudson Valley. But when he asks those he meets for specifics about that scene, details are not forthcoming. “The answer is usually, ‘Yeah, I heard you guys are doing some cool things,’ but nobody knows what those cool things are,” says the chef and consultant at New World Bistro Bar in Albany and the former owner of New World Home Cooking in Saugerties. This uncertainty may be because unlike regions such as Texas or California that are associated with a cuisine like barbecue or beverage like wine, the Hudson Valley does not have one specific specialty or identity. Instead it is home to a freewheelin’ mix of creative chefs, brewers, farmers, distillers, and winemakers, united in their admiration of the farm-fresh local ingredients the region is known for, but delightfully divided in what they do with these products. As a result the culinary style of the region can often be described with a single word: diverse. “Other regions can be pigeonholed,” says Todd Erling, executive director of the Hudson Valley Agribusiness Development Corporation, an economic development nonprofit dedicated to supporting agricultural entrepreneurship in the region. “The Hudson Valley represents a significant spectrum of world-class producers. It’s really that holistic ecosystem of agriculture, food, and food systems whereas some other regions that have branding are much more parochial to something more specific.” Think Sonoma Valley and wine. Erling adds that diversified a food system has “been a component of agriculture in the Hudson Valley since Colonial times.” 80 FOOD & DRINK CHRONOGRAM 8/18

This diversity of agricultural products extends from the farm to the table. “We are getting known for a classic ‘farm-to-table’ style, using local ingredients to create delicious meals,” Orlando says. “Our corn, winter squash, and root veggies are unmatched, and I have eaten plenty from around the US to compare it to. Our local produce—both fruits and vegetables—are great because we get enough rain and have relatively cool nights, making for very sweet stuff. Sadly, we have a very short season and a limited window to utilize it all. Our cheeses, dairy, and meats are also very special here.” Don Lewis, founder of the Wild Hive Farm Community Grain Project in Clinton Corners, notes that at times the Hudson Valley has been associated primarily with apples. “It’s now evolved and it really falls more into a standard of living identity that encompasses a food system,” he says. “I think that it’s a little similar to parts of California that have a really tremendous food system, and a standard of living and the food system that go along with it—a lot of access to a lot of products and a lot of variety.” Over the last few decades, Lewis has helped promote local grain-based agriculture at Wild Hive, offering Hudson Valley grown and milled heirloom grain varieties that are beloved by top chefs and bakers in New York City. He says the region definitely has a distinctive terroir that shows up in its grains. This may not be instantly noticeable when comparing a grain grown in the region to grain grown nearby, but when you compare it to commercial grain products the difference will be clear. “Terroir is unique and present in grains that are grown at a slower pace, and are stone milled,” Lewis says. “So, if you’re buying grains in the Hudson Valley from producers that have their flour stone milled, than you’re really getting the flavor of the Valley.”

John Garay Paul Halayko, President & COO of Newburgh Brewing Co. According to Halayko, “Any discussion of the best beer-making region in the country has to include the Hudson Valley.” Opposite: Whitecliff Winery in Gardiner is part of the recently launched Hudson Valley Cabernet Franc Coalition.

Multifaceted Agriculture The region’s multifaceted agricultural influence is also found in its craft beverages. The region has garnered a good deal of acclaim in the beer world. For instance, Sloop Brewing Co.’s Confliction won the Gold Medal for best American-style Sour Ale at the 2016 World Beer Cup. “Just like with ingredients from local farms, restaurants can now carry local beer not just because they want to support local but because the beer is genuinely world class,” says Paul Halayko, president and cofounder of Newburgh Brewing Company. Asked if there’s a specific style of beer the region is known for he replies, “Maybe it is as simple as high-quality or well-made; that’s the beer identity of the Hudson Valley.” Halayko adds, “In 2018, any discussion of the best beer-making region in the country has to include the Hudson Valley. Which means bars, restaurants, and retailers have an embarrassment of beer riches right at their fingertips.” These riches are frequently enhanced by local ingredients. “Breweries tend to develop a strong sense of place with their home, which means they are always eager to support local whenever they can,” Halayko says. “That sense of place comes from the local farms that we work with, in supplying them our spent grain, to the sense of local community that is created in our taprooms. What is also exciting is what’s happening in the Hudson Valley when it comes to hops and malt. For us, we now use malt from Germantown Beer Farm in almost all of our beers. They call their malt ‘Hudson Valley Malt.’ It isn’t the entirety of our grain bill for a beer, but it is present in almost every beer we brew. It’s a high-quality product, and we love working with them. Both hops and malt produced in the Hudson Valley have the opportunity to put our region on the map.”

Hudson Valley Cabernet Franc Coalition A potential drawback to a region so diverse in offerings is that it becomes harder to market in as focused a way to those not familiar with it. There’s no particular lane for the Hudson Valley to stay in. As Orlando bluntly puts it while describing the food scene, “We are a bunch of chefs doing our own things.” And no matter how good they are, it’s hard to promote as a region when there’s not one specialty. To combat this, both area wineries and whiskey producers have launched geographic-based branding efforts. In 2016, the Hudson Valley Cabernet Franc Coalition launched to showcase the high quality Cabernet Franc wine being produced here. Last fall, Empire Rye debuted as a style, formed by a coalition of distilleries across the state. The Empire Rye label is open to any New York distillery that makes a rye whiskey utilizing 75 percent New York-grown rye, along with other requirements. “We are now branding the region as a specialist in Cabernet Franc, a grape that is very well suited to growth and wine production here in the Valley,” says Yancey Migliore, who founded Whitecliff Vineyard & Winery in Gardiner with her husband, Michael Migliore, 20 years ago. “The Valley saw wine grape production as early as the seventeenth century with the French Huguenots, and in the nineteenth century we provided all the wine and table grapes for the East Coast—from Philadelphia to Boston. Government policies have had a huge influence on our agriculture: Prohibition resulted in a dramatic shift from wine grapes to apples; the New York State Farm Winery Act in 1981 brought the industry back by making it easier to create wineries on a small scale. Subsequent policies under Governor Cuomo have resulted in a literal geyser of new products.” 8/18 CHRONOGRAM FOOD & DRINK 81

Migliore adds, “For consumers, Hudson Valley wines offer an opportunity to discover a region whose wine quality has raced ahead of its reputation.” Her winery has helped bolster that reputation. The winery’s 2009 Riesling earned the honor of Best White in Show at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, “where 45 judges tasting blind judged it better than 1,300 white wines from 27 countries and 28 states,” Migliore says. “And in 2015 we brought the first ever New York State Grape Grower of the Year Award to the Hudson Valley, which for 30 years had always been awarded in the Finger Lakes and Long Island.” The inspiration behind Empire Rye was to restore New York’s pre-Prohibition reputation as a rye producer, the same way Kentucky is associated with bourbon. “It is our way of stating in a very clear way that we’re making a claim to rye that we’re deliberately choosing to breathe life back into that category and make New York once again famous for its rye whiskeys,” says Christopher Williams, chief distiller at Coppersea Distilling in New Paltz, who conceived the Empire Rye concept. “We deliberately made it a difficult thing to produce that whiskey. So that name has meaning that is very clear, very understandable in the market. Things like using a minimum 75 percent New York State grown rye. In a lot of ways that’s more challenging than making Kentucky bourbon. Kentucky bourbon doesn’t have to be made from Kentucky corn; it can and often is made from corn and other grains with no known provenance.” Williams adds, “Whatever the notion of provenance or terroir is, we are certainly on a path to realizing it. There are a lot of debates about what exactly terroir is and whether whiskey can be made to have terroir but it’s got to start with the grain. So if it’s going to have it, it’s got to be made in a way that is consistent with the way that we make Empire Rye.” Beyond the products produced here, Erling, from Hudson Valley Agribusiness Development Corporation, says another aspect that makes the Hudson Valley distinctive is not the locally produced agricultural products themselves, but where they can be brought to market. Within a five-hour driving radius of Kingston there are 55 million mouths, he says. This is a potential customer base unlike that on the West Coast and one that makers, crafters, farmers, and culinary creators all along the food or production process can take further advantage of in the future. “It’s a market opportunity that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world,” Erling says.

FOOD JUSTICE FOR ALL

A HUDSON VALLEY FARM PROGRAM IS PLANTING SEEDS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEALTHY EATERS, COOKS, AND ADVOCATES. by wendy k agan

he rolling farmland of Columbia County extends in all directions with fruit orchards and vegetable fields, dairy farms and livestock, and acre upon acre of golden grain. It’s hardly the place you’d expect to find a food desert. Yet in towns like Hudson, the county seat, access to farm-fresh, nutrient-dense foods can be tantalizingly out of reach, especially for low-income populations that can’t drive to grocery stores and farm stands. “The main drag of Warren Street doesn’t have a lot of fresh, affordable food on it,” says Jenn So, Hudson resident and director of programs at The Sylvia Center at Katchkie Farm. “In winter, you see people walking over a mile in the cold to ShopRite.” A nationwide problem that we usually associate with dense urban hubs like New York City, food deserts can pop up in rural areas too, leading to a reliance on quick, unhealthy food choices from convenience stores and fast food joints. The Sylvia Center—the nonprofit nutrition education and youth development organization where So works—is doing its best to change that. Founded in 2007 by Liz Neumark, CEO of Great Performances catering, The Sylvia Center took root in the fertile soil of 60-acre Katchkie Farm, an organic commercial farm in Kinderhook. While it started out as a place to grow farm-fresh food for Neumark’s catering business, Katchkie Farm also carved out a space for The Sylvia Center’s programs for kids and families, with the mission of growing a community of healthy eaters, cooks, and advocates for nutritious food. A second location in New York City lets The Sylvia Center reach urban communities as well with its youth-oriented cooking classes that teach practical skills for a healthy cooking and eating. Extending to all five boroughs, the program in New York City reaches around 1,800 students and families a year; in Columbia County, the program touches the lives of 1,500 each year. The Sylvia Center runs a variety of programs for a wide demographic of participants—from farm visit experiences to in-school and after-school classes as well as programs for families—all with a focus on preparing and sharing fresh, healthy meals in a community setting. “Hopefully, over the time we’re sharing that meal, we’re talking about the types of foods we’re eating at home and access to groceries and fresh products in the area,” says Jennifer John, The 88 WHOLE LIVING CHRONOGRAM 8/18

Sylvia Center’s executive director. “Maybe we’re talking about ways to address the lack of access to fresh food and make the local food system more fair. We want to show folks that no matter what income level you have, you can make a choice with fresh foods that makes sense economically and also health-wise.” Lessons for Life, from Seed to Plate Until three or four years ago, The Sylvia Center offered one core program: a daylong, farm-based experience where groups of kids from New York City and surrounding areas would visit Katchkie Farm to learn about food from seed to plate, meeting the animals, working in the garden, harvesting vegetables, and ultimately cooking and eating a meal from scratch with chef instructors. The magic happens in a tactile, sensory experience of seeing where food grows, pulling it from the ground, and eating it on the spot, where it tastes fresh, earthy, and more alive than supermarket food.The Sylvia Center still offers the farm experience but in recent years has expanded its reach with programs for kids and teens in local elementary and high schools, and parent-and-child classes in community centers. Working with schools offers the organization a larger scope for spreading the gospel of healthy eating. A five-year grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation has allowed The Sylvia Center to bring basic nutrition and cooking skills to classrooms in Germantown and Hudson; this fall they will expand to the Taconic Hills school district as well. Working with teachers, they have found ways to weave nutrition education into the curriculum for second-graders; in high school, after-school programs explore culinary skills with meal preparation and teamwork. Classes focus on a particular macronutrient like protein or carbohydrates, rounding it out with plentiful fruits and vegetables. Kids often say they can’t wait to make the dishes at home with their families, or to bring their cooking skills to college. It was her own college experience that opened So’s eyes to the urgent need in America for a better handle on food. “My parents are immigrants from China, so I ate really good, homemade Cantonese food when I was growing up,” she says. “When I went to college and saw the food in the dining halls I thought,

Students from Ichabod Crane Elementary School at Katchkie Farm. After weeding, cultivating garden beds, planting seeds in the greenhouse, and harvesting rhubarb, students worked as a group to prepare green vegetable fried rice and rhubarb applesauce with toasted oats for dessert.

‘What is this?’ I didn’t understand. A lot of my college friends didn’t know how to cook, and I’d always been around people who knew how to cook from scratch. Knowing that was not most people’s experience is what got me into the food education field. I wanted to help people learn how to cook for themselves and make something easy and tasty.” In recent classes, students have made dishes ranging from grain salads with farm-fresh snap peas, radishes, and homemade dressing, to green vegetable fried rice with edamame and strawberry-rhubarb tart. One favorite is vegetarian dumplings made from scratch. “A lot of the kids have eaten dumplings from Chinese takeout, but they’ve never had them this way,” says So. “We use crumbled up tofu with vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, and this recipe always turns mushroom haters into mushroom lovers.” Transforming picky eaters and opening kids’ eyes to a world of produce choices is a big focus with the younger students, while gaining cooking skills can be transformative for the older ones. Each class comes with a CSA share from Field Goods featuring a bag of curated vegetables that students can take home once a week, so they can share their new skills and the farm-fresh bounty with their families. Liberty, Justice, and Good Food for Everyone Building a more equitable food system is a necessary task in this country, where the distribution of fresh, local, and organic foods almost always intersects with race and class—creating abundance in white, affluent communities and scarcity in communities of color and low-income demographics. “We know that one in six children is living with food insecurity in Columbia County,” says John. “When it comes to food insecurity, it’s a hidden problem. Nobody wants to come forward and say, ‘Hey, I’m really worried about buying enough food for the week.’” Because of the stigma attached to being food insecure, The Sylvia Center casts a wide net to the community instead of offering a needs-based program. “When we do our programs in places where people are living in poverty, we can draw folks in and do active recruitment, but we also know that having folks from all economic backgrounds in the same class together does more to promote these ideas for everyone. People don’t have to be worried that they’ll be singled out or seen as poor if they come to our programs. The concepts we teach are for everybody, but they go the farthest with families that are challenged about what to do with their family food dollars.” Breaking certain misperceptions about food is another key focus when it comes to planting the seeds for healthy eating. “There’s a false idea that fruits and vegetables are more expensive than fast food,” says John. “You can buy a burger for a dollar. You can buy a pound of zucchini for a dollar when it’s in season, but you have to do more to prepare it to get it to the table.We’re trying to get people to think more about what is healthy and good for their families. We all need to make these decisions every day, and we can choose vegetables and fruits for a variety of reasons, not just cost. Though you can actually take a pound of zucchini and make that into a couple of dishes.” Awareness about the connection between diet and health is often no match for the temptations of poor food choices and empty calories all around us. “The research is clear that eating plant-based meals is a healthier long-term choice, and incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your daily diet is a great way to stay healthy,” says John.Yet that knowledge is not really translating into a lot of changes when it comes to kids. Diet-related diseases like diabetes and obesity are on the rise in young people. “Eating fast foods and high-fat, high-salt meals all the time really has a detrimental, lifelong effect,” adds John. “That’s why we focus a lot on children, because we think the benefits of this can last a lifetime.”

Teaching and Feeding the Whole Child Woven into The Sylvia Center’s programs, youth development is part and parcel to its mission. In the school and family classes, participants get a healthy dose of teamwork, collaboration, and confidence-building along with their micro and macronutrients. Some kids say their favorite part of the class is learning how to work with others in the kitchen, as they take a team approach to creating the meals. Confidence grows quickly, even in a 40-minute class with kids. “When you give them real knives, such as paring knives to work with, it’s an honor that’s bestowed on them,” says So. “A lot of parents won’t let them use their knives at home. But once you teach them the proper way to use these tools, they rise to the occasion and you can see their confidence shine.” In the last couple of classes, the kids get a chance to riff on the recipes and come up with their own dishes, rolling out their creativity and applying new skills to their personal tastes. The New York City program takes youth development one step further by exploring vocational opportunities with teens; some go on to pursue careers in the culinary arts or local restaurants, or they get involved in the food justice movement. Upstate, the program hopes to bring the vocational angle into its programs in the future. Currently, the focus in the HudsonValley is on expanding through school districts and training teachers to carry on the work they do. It takes a village, and a lot of breaking bread together, to get people eating healthy. “I think teaching people how to cook is the best way to ensure that they’ll have a healthy life, because those skills stay with you forever,” says So. “It’s a positive outlet: You’re creating something when you’re cooking. It’s ultimately your personal choice to choose the food and make it into something nourishing for yourself and your family.” RESOURCES The Sylvia Center Sylviacenter.org Find recipes for Green Vegetable Fried Rice and Crescent Moon Dumplings from The Sylvia Center’s Jenn So at Chronogram.com. 8/18 CHRONOGRAM WHOLE LIVING 89

EVENT PREVIEWS & LISTINGS FOR AUGUST 2018

Brooke Fitts

Ravenwood serves farm dinners throughout summer and fall.

Top 10 Things to Do Before Summer Ends The summer season, in all its splendor, is ephemeral. But its fleeting glory casts a spell of magic over the region and summons us outdoors for adventure, sightseeing, and sun-soaked fun. It's true that every season in the Hudson Valley has something to offer from skiing to apple-picking, but here is a list of 10 activities best enjoyed while the days are long and the weather is warm. —Briana Bonfiglio

1. Tube the Esopus Creek Need an exciting way to cool off from the blazing August heat? Make a splash in the Esopus Creek as you tube down its waves and rapids. Town Tinker Tube Rental includes all equipment and safety gear for the thrilling, two-hour adventure beginning at its headquarters in Phoenicia.

2. Bike a Rail Trail Slap on a helmet and get pedaling. The region’s rail trails are perfect for a day of biking through nature. In Orange County, you’ve got the Orange Heritage Trail, a paved, 10mile trek from Goshen to Monroe. Further north, the Hudson Valley Rail Trail will take you from Highland to Poughkeepsie over the Hudson River via the Walkway Over the Hudson. Bike alongside picturesque ridge views from Gardiner to Rosendale on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail—or, if you’re on the other side of the river, hop onto the Putnam County Trailway or Harlem Valley Rail Trail.

3. Take a Tour with Rail Explorers Ok, so maybe you’re not a biker but you still want to ride one of the Valley’s awesome, scenic trails. With Rail Explorers, you and your family can operate a pedal-powered, electric-assisted rail car on an 8-mile round-trip ride in Phoenicia. Ride on the tracks of the historic Ulster & Delaware Railroad and enjoy the Catskill Mountain views from your tandem or quad vehicle. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

4. Kayak on the Hudson Take the reins—er, paddles—on a kayaking excursion. Hudson River Expeditions rents out kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards in Cold Spring, Peekskill, and Nyack. They also offer guided kayak tours and will host Paddle for a Cure on September 8 to raise money for breast and ovarian cancer. If you want to start farther north, check out A Day Away Kayak Rental in Kingston.

5. Attend a Pop-up Food Event Summer’s a great time to get familiar with the tastes of the region. Tracking down shortterm food events is a fun way to do just that. Recently, local chefs Rei Peraza, Josh

Rosenmeier, and Ric Orlando have run pop-up shops in the area. Keep your eyes—and taste buds—peeled for more spontaneous culinary greatness.

6. Enjoy a Farm Dinner Going to a farm dinner is another, more intimate way to feast on local fare. In the warmer months, farmers open their barn doors to guests for a specialty farm-to-table meal. Space is limited for many of these events, so get tickets while you still can. Ravenwood, Bradley Farm, and Glynwood are just a few places hosting dinners soon.

7. Bag a Peak Hike one of the 35 Catskill peaks over 3,500 feet, and you’ll be one step closer to joining the Catskills 3500 Club and claiming endless glory. Pack plenty of water and snacks, and prepare for a breathtaking views after the vigorous journey skyward. (Pro tip: Wittenburg Mountain has some of the most expansive views at its peak—3,780’—but can be crowded on weekends.)

8. Catch an Outdoor Movie There are plenty of places to with films al fresco this summer—Four Brothers Drive-In in Amenia and Water Street Market in New Paltz, just to name a couple. Whether you roll up drive-in style or bring your picnic blankets and chairs, outdoor movies are a cool, communal experience.

9. See an Outdoor Performance Speaking of outdoor entertainment, venues abound for summer listening. Berkshires’ gem Tanglewood continues its programming through Labor Day weekend; one of the season’s highlights is always the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 on August 26. A cappella phenoms Pentatonix take the stage at SPAC on August 22 just as horse racing season is winding down in Saratoga. The original site of the Woodstock festival, Bethel Woods hosts the aural California sunshine of the Beach Boys on August 5. Each of these spectacularly-built pavilions bring in large crowds for one-of-a-kind, fresh-air concert experiences.

10. Play Mini-Golf Have some wholesome fun playing mini golf. Kelder’s Farm in Kerhonkson, home to one of the largest garden gnomes in the world, has an original Homegrown Mini-Golf course featuring an edible course, lined with berries for your browsing delight. Also, check out Lakeside Licks in Highland, DC Sports in Wappingers Falls, and 94 Pitch & Putt in Washingtonville. 8/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 93

FESTIVALS HUICHICA MUSIC FESTIVAL

The Huichica stage at Chaseholm Farm in Pine Plains.

Down on the Farm When it’s summertime in the Hudson Valley, one can never have enough music festivals—especially if they happen to be adventurous, thoughtfully curated events, ones that program acts that are more vital and interesting than the all-too-common, clock-punching oldies revues that continue to make the fairground rounds. Thankfully, though, in recent years a wave of the former—small-scale, indie-minded fests—have been increasingly popping up to fill the warm-weather landscape with the kind of cool sounds that fly well under the pervasive radar of mainstream lameness. Take, for instance, the Huichica Music Festival, which this month marks its third year at Chaseholm Farm. Presented by Northern California-based promotions group FolkYEAH!, Huichica (pronounced “wa-CHEE-ka”) debuted in Sonoma in 2010 with the aim of building, according to cofounder Jeff Bundschu, “a laidback, ‘micro’ music and camping festival… [that brings] people together in the name of music, food, wine, and beautiful outdoor spaces.” Among the acts set to appear at this year’s three-day East Coast installment of Huichica are Robyn Hitchcock, the Allah-Las, Bettye LaVette, Vetiver (performing their classic album Thing of the Past), Mercury Rev (live improvised soundtrack), Amen Dunes, Espers (first performance since 2009), Martin Courtney of Real Estate, Ryley Walker, Hailu Mergia, Circles Around the Sun, and more. The Huichica Music Festival will take place at Chaseholm Farm in Pine Plains on August 24, 25, and 26. Tickets are $20-$90. Hudson.huichica.com. Allah-Las lead singer Miles Michaud answered a few questions about the festival and his band via email. —Peter Aaron The Allah-Las are associated with the ’60s-inspired garage rock revival that’s really taken hold among younger audiences in the US during the last decade. Although the genre has long been popular in other places (especially Europe), it’s only recently gained significant traction over here. Why do you think it is that younger listeners are discovering and becoming so passionate about this music now? I dunno, it seems to come in waves. There was also a big ’60s revival movement in the mid-’80s and early ’90s—in LA it was the Paisley Underground scene with bands like Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, the Bangles. It’s always been around, and every generation has its group of kids who stumble upon those early records. They can be really accessible and special when discovered at the right time and place. With your sound, you guys have really drilled down and tapped into a certain variant of ’60s music: the haunting, minor-key style of the Zombies, the Velvet Underground, the darker side of West Coast bands, and, perhaps especially, the “moody” garage sound identified with New England bands like the Rising Storm.

What is it about this particular vibe that appeals to you? When we were starting to play together, that was our primary influence—the B-side cuts from old records. Moody is a good word for it. We were also all going through some moody times, especially when making our first LP. Our tastes and our sound have been changing, though, as those things should, and especially on the record we are working on now there are some tracks that depart from that entirely. Last year when the band was scheduled to perform in Rotterdam there was a terrorism scare that led to the concert being cancelled. Can you tell us a bit about that? Do you think it was coincidental, or did it have something to do with the band’s name? If not, has the name ever caused you problems at other times and is there a story behind the moniker? It’s hard to chalk it all up to coincidence, but certainly a good amount of the events that transpired were circumstantial if not coincidental. It happened a few days after the sad events in Barcelona [the 2017 van attack that killed 14 and injured 130 others], so everyone in Europe was really on edge. Someone posted some threatening messages on an online message board and the response was to cancel the show; in hindsight, the cancellation was perhaps overzealous, but not surprising given that environment. In the end no one was hurt, although they did arrest the Dutch kid who posted the messages and he said that he was merely fishing for “real terrorists.” He was studying cybersecurity at university. They didn’t really give us many details, but we decided to finish the last three shows of that tour. There is no story behind the name other than we thought it sounded good and had a reverent air about it. Having played Huichica West in California last year, how would you describe the scene that FolkYEAH! creates at their festivals? Britt Govea, who runs FolkYEAH!, is a master of blending music with the natural environment, and one of our favorite promoters to work with. We have played many shows and festivals with him, and in each case the festival is held in an outdoor space that would hold up as a great place to visit for a weekend on its own, but he makes it all the better by bringing live music in. For those who haven’t seen the Allah-Las live before, what should they expect? We tend to interpret our environment into our set, especially when it comes to outdoor stages. If there’s high energy, we will respond to that. But if it’s a mellow evening, then we’re happy to bring that mood too. Guess we won’t know until we see each other. 8/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 95

THEATER "BANG BANG!"

Mercury Theater Colchester's 2017 production of "Bang Bang!" John Cleese's adaptation of Feydeau's farce will be performed August 11 through September 9 at Shadowland Stages in a production directed by James Glossman and starring Sean Astin and Scott Shepherd.

Release the Cleese This month, Shadowland Stages in Ellenville will stage the US premiere of “Bang Bang!,” an adaptation of a French farce by comedy legend John Cleese. The run is directed by James Glossman and features an ensemble cast including Sean Astin and Scott Shepherd. The play will run at Shadowland for a month in anticipation of a move to London’s West End next year. “It’s very, very funny,” says Glossman. “That’s pretty much it in a nutshell.” Glossman says the idea to stage “Bang Bang!” came when he met Cleese a year ago and asked if he was working on anything. Cleese mentioned an in-progress adaptation of “Monsieur Chasse!” by French playwright Georges Feydeau that dates back to the late 19th century. “(Cleese) was talking about how French farce was there to stick a pin in the overweening egotism of the climbing upper class, it’s there to puncture people’s pretensions,” Glossman says. “And yes, that’s true. It does satirize and comment on society. But in a lot of ways, farce is there to just send you out with a smile on your face. And that is immensely refreshing.” “Bang Bang!” is a saucy romp of infidelity and mistrust, which Glossman calls “sort of a relay race with doors. There’s 10 characters running in and out of those doors, which is quite a lot for Shadowland.” Astin, perhaps best known for his role as Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, plays Moricet, friend of Duchotel who has eyes for Duchotel’s wife, Leontine. Duchotel is played by Shepherd, who in addition to extensive work in the theater, has also carved out a career in film, including playing opposite Tom Hanks in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies. Leontine is played by Kathy McCafferty, who in addition to numerous stage and screen roles was seen by Shadowland audiences in the 2013 run of “Boeing Boeing,” itself a French farce. Other members of the cast include Robert Anthony Jones (“Finding Neverland” on

Broadway) as Cassagne, while both Paul Murphy as Inspector Bridois and Julia Register as Babette will be known to Shadowland theatergoers from last year’s production of “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol.” While this production will be the American debut of “Bang Bang!”, the show had a successful two-week engagement in early 2017 at the Mercury Theater in Colchester, England. Glossman says that Cleese has since been working on the script, which could be quite different by opening night. It’s already quite different than Feydeau’s original play. “(Cleese) took the basic plot structure and then simplified things like the characters and situations,” Glossman says. “The original is a very long play—it’s a much larger cast. He streamlined it, but in a more essential way he took the thread of characters and situation and wrote a John Cleese script. It’s like when Truman was president and the White House was falling apart. They left the facade, but they gutted the interior completely. It looked like the same White House, but was really a brand-new building. That’s what this is. This is so much a Cleese script. This is not a translation; it’s an adaptation.” Glossman spoke glowingly not only of the cast and everyone at Shadowland, but also of working with Cleese, which he considers a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “The level of work that you’re engaged in isn’t going to be replicated,” Glossman said. “You’ll work with other people that will excite you as well, but it won’t be this exact thing. There’s only one John Cleese. There will never be another.” “Bang Bang!” opens on Saturday, August 11, with a preview that afternoon and one the night before. The play runs through September 9, with 2pm matinee performances on Sundays, and evening performances at 8pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tickets range from $34-39, with preview tickets available for $31. Discounted tickets are also available for students and theatergoers under the age of 40.

VISUAL ART LONGREACH ARTS COOPERATIVE

Works from the LongReach exhibit “Niches,” clockwise from top left: Claudia Gorman's photograph Black Sand Beach; David Curtis's photograph Inversion One; Carol Pepper Cooper's ink and pastel work Phantasmantics; Stacie Flint's acrylic painting Country Lane.

Fun of the Mill “What I hope to do in this show is to create an alternative world to counter the anger and fear many of us are feeling,” remarks artist Carol Pepper-Cooper, who has coined the word “phantasmantics” to describe her secret reality. Pepper-Cooper is a member of LongReach, the oldest artists collective in the Hudson Valley, which will present the exhibition “Niches” at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon on August 4. In the spring of 1982, a group of artists gathered to form a cooperative art gallery. The Mid-Hudson Arts and Science Center (MASC) offered them a summer exhibition in Poughkeepsie, at the present site of the Dutchess Commissioner of Jurors. In honor of the summer time slot, the artists elected to call themselves “Summergroup.” The show was such a success that MASC ceded them the gallery on a long-term basis. The collective remained in this location until 1991. “There was some business who wanted to buy our URL, so we sold our soul to them,” explained member artist José Gomez, “and we changed our name.” This was in 2007, in their 25th year of existence. The new name came from a sailor’s term; a “long reach” is a river—like the Hudson—which may be sailed without tacking. LongReach now includes 19 artists working in a variety of media. The group has no headquarters, sponsoring an exhibition in a Hudson Valley gallery once or twice a year. Three of the founders are still members. In 2009, LongReach artists collaborated on a mural that now resides in the headquarters of Scenic Hudson, the grassroots environmental group. Entitled The River, the work resembles a highly colorized microscopic enlargement of a pancreas. “Niches,” however, is the opposite kind of collective project—a collaboration by separation. The Howland Center was designed by esteemed architect Richard Morris Hunt as a library in 1872, and when it was transformed into a cultural center a century later, builders

discovered that the vertical columns could not be moved, creating a series of wall-spaces separated by wooden barriers. “Niches” awards each artist their own alcove: it’s like 19 separate shows. “I usually start a composition by a reference to some visual representation of a theorem, like for example the Pythagorean theorem,” explains Gomez. “That provides a seed, and I add color and transform that by rotating and translating.” The results are brash, rhythmic, geometric designs with strong diagonal accents. One might call them dancing ideas. Gomez prints them on paper made from plants like mango, in which fragments of leaves are visible. “Diagonalization,” for example, is printed on lemongrass paper. A painter paints; a photographer waits. Photography is largely the art of sitting still until the perfect composition arises. This is especially true of Claudia Gorman, who works part-time as a cat portraitist. For “Niches,” Gorman has assembled seven black-and-white photographs on the theme of water. In Sunset by the Sea, a boy wearing a bathing suit stands in the center of a seascape: the beach in the foreground, the sea behind him. In this photo it’s unclear where the sand ends and the water begins. A big diamond-shaped flash of light—which Gorman calls a “ring of fire”—dwarfs the figure. Sunset by the Sea was taken (in Hawaii) with a Holga, a plastic toy camera made in Hong Kong and now popular with art photographers. The images, printed from real negatives, are square, with soft edges and occasional light leaks—a mute protest against the age of creeping digitalization. “Niches,” a show by the LongReach Arts Cooperative, will be at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon August 4-26. There will be an opening and closing reception. (845) 831-4988; Howlandculturalcenter.org —Sparrow 8/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 99

Spiegeltent, Annandale. 758-7900. The Velocipede Museum August 10 marks the inauguration of Newburgh’s latest downtown attraction—the Velocipede Museum. In 2015, the owners of Motorcyclepedia Museum purchased the historic Labor Temple at 109 Liberty Street and began a lengthy gut renovation to create an annex exhibition space. Velocipede is the umbrella term for all humanpowered vehicles with wheels. While only the first floor of the three-story building will be open until renovations are completed, there are already nearly 50 bicycles of all shapes, sizes, and eras dating as far back as 1820. “It is very cool because the inside of the building was a meeting hall, so it lends itself beautifully to being a gallery space,” says Chris Knasiak, Motorcyclepedia Museum Coordinator. Perch atop the vintage Penny Farthing, browse the tri- and quad-cycles, and learn about the evolution of the bicycle. The front of the building has been preserved as a workshop, and in future will be a space for kids’ workshops, teaching basic bicycle skills like tire-changing and chain adjustment. The grand opening of The Velocipede is on August 10 at 3pm, and the museum will be open ongoing on Saturdays from 10am to 4pm. Admission will allow access to both museums. Motorcyclepediamuseum.org

Nature's Bounty

he soil in Ulster County contains an abundance of natural treasures— from the sprawl of orchards to the rolling fields where livestock roam and feed. When the weather permits, it’s hard to beat a weekend in thrall to nature’s bounty, but where do you start? We have a few ideas. Now in its 61st year, Dressel Farms in New Paltz is known for its mouthwatering strawberries and apples, which are also used in the soft and hard ciders of Kettleborough Cider House. Dolan Orchards in Wallkill specializes in apples, cherries, peaches, pears, plums, and vegetables. CDC Farms in Gardiner is all about handcrafted artisan cheese made with fresh Hudson Valley raw cow's milk. The facility also offers tasting tours, field trips, and private parties. Hepworth Farms in Milton yields more than 400 varieties of organic vegetables, while Four Winds Farm in Gardiner sells heirloom vegetable seedlings along with turkey, pork, and grass-fed beef. Minard’s Family Farm in Clintondale is an ideal autumn stop for its apples and pumpkins, corn maze, hayrides, and a barn market. Ulster County’s numerous farmers’ markets are magnets for chefs, foodies and locavores in search of the freshest flavors. In addition to organic produce and meats, the Ellenville Farmers’ Market features art from local makers and the Rosendale Farmers’ Market offers live entertainment. Of course, we’d be remiss not to mention the Kingston Farmers’ Market, named “Best Farmers’ Market” in 2016 by HudsonValley magazine. These suggestions only scratch the surface. For a full list of farms and markets, visit ulstercountyalive.com and start planning your outing today. —Marie Doyon BARTHELS FARM MARKET, ELLENVILLE

Play with Fire Cookout Fish & Game in Hudson epitomizes a new era of food preparation engendered by groundbreaking culinary players like Diner in Williamsburg and Fleisher’s Craft Butchery—a hyper-local, hyper-fresh, holistic approach that is as likely to use the whole animal and doesn’t shy from foraged foods. Winner of the 2016 James Beard award, chef Zak Pelaccio (pictured above) will put his skills on display on August 11, for the fourth annual Play with Fire event, a day of open-fire cooking on the Fish and Game farm in Hudson. The lineup of collaborators includes all-star chefs like Jess Shadbolt and Clare de Boer of King Restaurant, Nick Curtola of Four Horsemen, and Negro Piattoni of Metta. The plein-air roast will also include artisanal cocktails and a live performance by Club d’Elf (featuring John Medeski), followed by DJ sets and other live music, concluding finally in a twilight bonfire. Play with Fire is on August 11, from 3pm to 9pm. Adult tickets are $195. All donations go to The Heirloom Foundation. Fishandgamehudson.com

From Mambo to Hip-Hop Benefit Screening The horrors that have beset Puerto Rico over the last year in the wake of hurricane Maria and the current administration’s underwhelming response to the aftermath are nothing short of mind-boggling.

Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice Showcasing the power and artful beauty of the human voice, this four-day event in the tiny-but-hip outpost of Phoenicia is one of the most anticipated music festivals in the region. PIFV grew out of “Opera Under the Stars,” a 2009 benefit concert and opera is still its constant thread, but this genre-spanning weekend has expanded to include jazz, musical theater, world music, and other styles. This year has “Sirens of Gospel” (August 30); Rossini’s “La Cambiale di Matrimonio” (August 4); Bizet’s “Carmen” (August 4). The festival finale, “Beauties of Broadway” features Broadway and television star Marissa McGowan singing favorites from the Great White Way backed by the festival orchestra. (August 5).

108 HOROSCOPES CHRONOGRAM 8/18

Chronogram.com/ summerplaylist

August is retrograde season! The dozen days (August 7–18) during which Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will all be retrograde are the celestial “dog days” of summer. The retrograde motion of planets is an illusion caused by the moving Earth passing other planets in their orbits, a phenomenon relative to our location on planet Earth. The planets of our solar system themselves do not actually reverse their orbits and travel backwards: it just looks like it from our vantage point. Nevertheless, the energetic manifestation of any planetary retrograde reflects a sense of energetic impedance, feeling “stuck,” or difficulty going forward. Which is why these dozen days in August calls for vacation time, whether it’s a getaway or stay-cation. Mercury is retrograde in the fabulously sparkly, warm, dramatic Fixed Fire sign of Leo until August 18. Leo roars when outraged and purrs when pleased. Probable manifestations include the giving and receiving of unsolicited advice, the exchange of stubbornly entrenched opinions, utterly avoidable misunderstandings, and hurt feelings due to wounded pride. Remember: Offense is taken, not given! “Avoid taking what doesn’t truly belong to you” is scalable and sensible advice for everyone during this transit. Mars retrograde stations Direct on August 27 at the final, “critical” degree of Capricorn, where it hovers until September 7. Structures both personal and societal will be stress-tested. The Solar Eclipse/New Moon in fiery, passionate Leo on August 11 makes a quincunx to power-player Pluto in Capricorn, challenging concepts of authority, leadership, responsibility, and ownership. Relief comes on August 26 when the Full Moon—in sensitive, emotionally porous Pisces—invites you for a moonlight dip in the healing, balmy waters of transcendence and acceptance. Take the plunge into the sea of possibilities and say “yes” to what’s best for your heart.

Aries

(March 20–April 19) Hotheaded. Rash. Impulsive. Mars-ruled Aries, are you tired of being a cliché? Show the world that you can’t be categorized that easily when Venus opposes your Sun in her home sign of Libra on August 5. Venus is to Mars what chocolate is to peanut butter: an irresistible combination. You’ll be even more delicious after August 18, when Mercury Retrograde in Leo stations Direct. Suddenly, you’ll find the way to say what you’ve been struggling to express since late June. The Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Leo on August 11 is followed by Mars’s last-gasp retrograde into the last degrees of Capricorn on August 12, stationing Direct on August 27. This little dip into the Saturnian schoolmaster’s home territory is like a professional development course as Mars, your ruling planet, forces you to keep your credentials current. You’ll thank him later as your maturity upgrade is rewarded, publicly and privately.

Taurus (April 19–May 20) Has a gnawing fear of instability been eating you since Uranus entered your home sign of Taurus in mid-May? Fixed Earth Taurus does not like the status quo disrupted unless it benefits him personally. The proverbial boat will be rocked, but at least you have a chance to patch the holes you didn’t know were leaking. Uranus begins his retrograde in Taurus on August 7, returning to the last degrees of Aries by early January 2019 before stationing Direct again, returning to Taurus by early next March. You’ll cultivate faith and patience for the long haul. Great news: You get a do-over! Beginning on the last Quarter Moon in Taurus on August 4, you can rethink, reassess, and renegotiate all the decisions you’ve made since mid-March 2018. Your ruling planet Venus enters co-ruled Libra on August 6, supporting your diplomatic efforts, especially in the realm of partnerships involving shared resources.

Horoscopes Gemini (May 20–June 21) It’s fashionable in some circles to use “Gemini” as a verb, i.e. “He Geminied his way out of that one!” This usage reflects the mercurial superpower of talking one’s way into or out of any given situation. Do you feel you’ve misplaced your magic touch lately? Your ruling planet Mercury in retrograde Leo from July 25 to August 18 may have given you a raging case of braggadocio which you’re now regretting. Worse yet, unworthy others may have attempted to steal your own original ideas during your Retrograde-fueled uninhibited oversharing binge. Fear not, Gemini! The sigils of your superpowers will be returned to you after August 22, when the Sun enters Virgo, the “other” Mercury-ruled sign. You will appear invincible as you make the rounds, clearing up misunderstandings, setting the record straight, and collecting what’s yours— including your own ideas. Do not allow anyone to claim what rightly belongs to you.

Cancer (June 21–July 22) Remember the film, It’s a Wonderful Life? August may feel like a visit from the bank examiner and Moon-ruled Cancerians might mistake themselves for Uncle Billy as Retrograde Mars briefly transits Capricorn, your solar opposite, between August 12 and September 9, joining both serious Saturn and powerful Pluto in their longer-term transits through Retrograde Capricorn. But wait! You can remember where you left the bank deposit! You’re not in the scariest of troubles: You have not lost emotional security. Sometimes all the hard work you’ve invested into building a solid foundation for your life is thrown off-balance through perceived threats to your key trigger words: “Food, Home, Mother, Money.” Keep Zuzu’s petals close to your heart to remind yourself that you are, in fact, safe. You’re not Uncle Billy in this story: you’re Clarence the angel, earning your wings by jumping into deeply emotional Cancerian waters to save what’s nearest and dearest to you.

Leo

(July 22–August 23) The King/Queen of the celestial jungle is experiencing Mercury’s Retrograde in Leo from July 25-August 18 much the same way as the lion regards hordes of buzzing flies swarming around hardearned prey: as a distracting annoyance to roar one’s way through. The trouble with roaring is that flies may have entered your open mouth, leaving an unpleasant taste behind. Mercury goes Direct in your sign on August 18, retracing his path through the end of the month, giving you the opportunity to spit out undigested flies or flat-out lies, especially the ones you may have told yourself when you’ve felt your authority challenged by Retrograde Mars in Aquarius, your solar opposite. The Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Leo on August 11 comes to shed light on what may have been obscured since early July. You shine brightest while using your tremendous charisma and personal power to lift others out of dark places.

Virgo

(August 23–September 23) Fun fact: Virgo is the largest constellation of the zodiac, and the second-largest (next to Hydra) constellation in the Milky Way galaxy! Just because you’re naturally modest does not mean you’re small. Jupiter’s transit through Scorpio makes you want to go big or go home, especially between August 1–6. Your ruling planet Mercury’s Retrograde in Leo July 25 to August 18 makes your famous analytical powers jump into melodramatic overdrive. The Sun enters your home sign on August 22, restoring your cool, rational self as Mercury goes Direct on August 18. The Pisces Full Moon on August 26 throws light on ways you would benefit from an upgrade in the faith department, giving you a crack at that brief but spectacular sensation of undifferentiated oneness with a loving and benevolent universe, particularly if you can spend the day of the Full Moon immersed in the arms of Mother Nature. Decolonize your mind!

Libra (September 23–October 23) You’re almost through the interminable doldrums. You’re reenergized as your ruling planet Venus comes home to Libra on August 6. Prepare to shock and surprise yourself when Venus conjuncts unpredictable Uranus in sensual Taurus (the “other” Venus-ruled sign) on August 9 by finding yourself attracted to someone significantly different from your regular cup of relationship tea. “Different” in this case may range from pleasantly unique to downright weird. Will you astonish yourself by discovering that the erratic can also be the erotic? Give yourself permission to experience sparks of chaotic joy outside your usual strict parameters of Libra’s beauty-conscious status quo. Normally you shy away from the prominent feet of clay a real-life human partner exhibits, preferring rose-colored glasses, or hiding from imperfections (your own included). August gives you the chance to find pleasure in the earthy and the real, rather than the untouchable ideal—both in yourself and your partner.

Horoscopes Scorpio

(October 23-November 22) You’re giddy with joy since Jupiter went Direct in your sign on July 10, and why not? You’ve just completed a master class in emotional and spiritual deep-sea diving, resurfacing with pearls of wisdom you had to submerge deeply to discover within the oceans of your own self. Mars, the classical ruling planet of Scorpio, and Pluto, Scorpio’s modern ruler, are both in Capricorn August 12 to September 10, as is Saturn (Capricorn’s own ruler). This transit supports your urge to create a structure to contain these hard-won pearls of wisdom. You’ve been transformed in some way, elevated, and you need a way to present the new you. All this Capricorn energy supports initiating manifestation of your upgraded consciousness in the most concrete of ways during August. It’s time to plant, build, and sow. You’ve got all the materials and resources you need to recreate yourself in the image of your best potentiality right now.

Your ruling planet Jupiter is Direct in Scorpio now, waking you from a dream in which someone who looks just like you stole all your credit cards and went on a mad spending spree, while promising outlandish commitments you couldn’t possibly fulfill. You’re overextended in every possible direction, like Bilbo Baggins, who said of himself after wearing the ring too many times: “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.” The wonderful news is that Jupiter enters Sagittarius on November 8, at which time the miracles you await will, at long last appear to rescue you. Until then: Sober up, batten down the hatches, put your house in order, and get ready to party like it’s 2007 again (or 1995, 1983, 1971, or even 1960). Sun in Leo through August 22 and Mercury in Leo all month long, especially after stationing Direct on August 18, supports your Herculean efforts.

(December 22-January 20) August’s message to you: avoid calcification by whatever means necessary. Strive to be supple, fight to be flexible, force yourself to bust through inertia and break on through to the other side. Retrograde Mars will dip into the final degrees of Capricorn from August 30 to September 9, joining Saturn and Pluto in your home sign. Pleasant surprises may be yours when Uranus in Taurus makes a sweet and supportive Earth-trine to Saturn, your ruling planet, all during the month of August. The Last Quarter Moon in Taurus on August 4 trines Pluto in Capricorn, providing surprisingly sensual emotional encounters throughout the day, making “play” in operative word in the phrase “power play.” Saturn in Capricorn until late 2020 puts you in the driver’s seat, your superb selfcontrol empowering you to build the life you want most for yourself on your own terms, so make sure your foundation is firm.

Aquarius

(January 20-February 19) Surprise! You’ve won a prize for surviving all the Aquarius-themed eclipse action of 2018! First the Sun in Aquarius eclipsed the Full “Super Moon” in Leo on January 31, followed by the Aquarius/ Aquarius Partial Solar Eclipse/New Moon of February 15, the Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Aquarius on July 27, and now the Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Leo, opposite the south node in Aquarius on August 11. Retrograde Mars in Aquarius has been running roughshod over your Sun all summer, exhausting both your patience and energy. Luckily, you’re a ninja with mad compartmentalization skills. File all the wear and tear you’ve endured into various categories (“‘B’ for the beating I took in the stock market, ‘M’ for the mistake I made dipping into my 401K,” etc.), and then dance by the bonfire as you burn them. Regrets will recede in your rearview mirror beginning August 27 and disappear beyond the horizon by mid-November.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) It’s not that you shouldn’t accept others for who they are; it’s that you must know how they actually are in the first place in order to accept them. Venus in Virgo opposite your Pisces Sun through August 5 stages an intervention, urging you to use buzz-killer concepts like “practicality” and “discernment” in your relationships. The Sun enters Virgo on August 22, seconding that emotion. Jupiter in Scorpio tightly trines your ruling planet of Neptune in Retrograde Pisces, counterintuitively bringing piercing clarity into previously cloudy situations. You’ve been given a pair of x-ray glasses and a see-through mirror! Use them to see yourself in a whole new light on August 26 as the Full Moon in Pisces makes a supportive sextile to Uranus in Taurus, illuminating every shadow and revealing the lurking monster’s fur is made of your very own fears. When you allow yourself to pet him, he dissolves into thin air.
