Kinder, Gentler Real Estate

hen Lisa Halter started her own real estate agency in 2014, she did it with a clear mission—to open a “kinder, gentler real estate office.” She brought over 15 years of experience in Hudson Valley real estate and a forward-looking approach to Halter Associates Realty. In just four years, the company has expanded to 27 agents. In addition to their empathetic, client-centric ethos, Halter agents leverage advanced digital marketing capabilities and hyper-local market knowledge to buy and sell faster and smarter. Halter’s experience isn’t limited to the realm of real estate. Prior to selling homes, she worked for over two decades in digital marketing and graphic design, earning awards for campaigns in London and New York City. That digital marketing edge and keen eye for design aided Halter in meeting the modern demands of clients once she broke into real estate. Halter has no plans to rest on her laurels now that Halter Associates is thriving. Her long-term goal “is to continue to grow and serve our community, and our agents, while maintaining an open line of communication with our buyers and sellers,” she explains. Halter understands that buying or selling property often accompanies a major life change, which needs to be handled with care. “It’s all about transitions in our lives, whether it’s a household growing with the birth of a child or the death of a loved one,” Halter says. “Although we are in sales, we need to be so much more for our clients, to help them through their life changes in a thoughtful and meaningful way.” 433 Tongore Road, Kingston: A Marbletown Modern/Country Marvel Ulster County real estate is the bread and butter of Halter’s business, and thanks to the area’s abundance of natural beauty and charming towns, it’s an 20 CHRONOGRAM 10/18

easy sell. Marbletown is one such picturesque community. Situated less than 20 minutes from Kingston, Marbletown encompasses the hamlets of High Falls and Stone Ridge, known for their idyllic locales along the Esopus Creek, farm and flea markets, wellness centers, dreamy B&Bs, and Stone Ridge’s Main Street Historic District. This country-meets-modern home is on a quiet country road just down the street from the Marbletown Town Park, with its pavillion, playground, and soccer fields. Originally built in the 1940s, the three-bedroom, two-bath cottage sits on 2.5 acres of land that’s a slice of Zen-like paradise perfect for relaxation. The grounds include a brand-new heated, saline pool with a retractable cover, a six-person hot tub on a bluestone patio, a cedar outdoor shower, a koi pond, fire pit, and organic garden with raised beds. That’s just outside. The 1,886-square-foot interior features a host of modernized amenities, including a custom kitchen with granite countertops, a butcher block prep island, stainless steel appliances, and a wine cooler cabinet. The open-concept floor plan smoothly combines kitchen, dining, and living areas, and is well-suited for entertaining, with cedar plank and hardwood floors throughout. The first floor includes an screened-in porch, as well as a laundry room and additional full bath. On the second floor, the master bedroom is an oasis within the home, separated from the rest of the rooms and adjoined by a private meditation room. All three of the home’s bedrooms are bathed in sunlight from skylights and large windows. Throw open the sliding glass doors, step out on the wraparound deck in full view of the new pool, and consider yourself at home. Listed at $659,000, this is a turnkey haven with every indoor and outdoor luxury you could want. For more information, visit Halterassociatesrealty.com.

mprobable as it seems—for a variety of reasons to do with the general viability of print media, others related to the simple irreconcilability of the mind to the passage of time—Chronogram turns 25 next month. What started as the idealistic, hare-brained scheme of two 20-somethings—Amara Projansky and Jason Stern—to create a publication that would unify the cultural landscape of the Mid-Hudson Valley, has evolved into a multimedia company still committed to its core mission to stimulate and support the creative and cultural life of the region. Despite the stormy weather buffeting the media landscape, we are still sailing along, buoyed by the support of our community of readers and clients. To celebrate our good fortune, we’re throwing the Chronogram community a little birthday party. Please join us on Saturday, November 10 (8pm to midnight), when we’ll be taking over the top floor of the Fuller Building, a historic landmark in Midtown Kingston. There’ll be music, dancing, a light show, birthday cake—and a very short speech by the editor. (The partially renovated space is pictured above; by the time of our birthday party, it will be a dazzling 8,000 square feet of blushing blond wood.) I want to tell you briefly about the amazing space we’ve secured for the soiree. The Fuller Building is a project of architect Scott Dutton, an adaptive reuse specialist who is in the midst of rehabbing the massive 67,000-squarefoot building which formerly housed the Fuller Shirt Factory. Like many towns on the Hudson River, Kingston was once a vibrant manufacturing center. The Fuller Shirt Factory at its peak employed 500 people at its Pine Street location. The building, which has been vacant for decades, is now in the midst of a renaissance, with Dutton building studio and office spaces for creative enterprises. Our 25th birthday party will be a coming-out party of sorts for the revitalized Fuller Building, and we hope you join us on November 10 to celebrate Chronogram and the ongoing rehabilitation of the Hudson Valley toward a brighter future. Save the date! For all the details, visit Chronogram.com/birthday.

Chronogram Conversations We’ll be hosting another event in our Chronogram Conversations series on Thursday, November 1, from 5:30-8pm, at CO. in Rhinebeck. The topic will be “The State of Local Media” and will feature a keynote address by Jim Friedlich, executive director and CEO of the Lenfest Institute for Journalism. Friedlich’s talk will be followed by a panel discussion—moderated by yours truly—with a who’s who of movers and shakers in regional media: Geddy Sviekauskas, Ulster Publishing founder and publisher; Gary Chetkof, president and principal owner of Radio Woodstock; Lisa Green, editor of Rural Intelligence; Jimmy Buff, executive director of Radio Kingston; and Mariel Fiori, editor of LaVoz. We’ll be discussing what it takes for small media organizations to survive at a time when time-tested models have broken down and existential threats abound. What’s the next phase for local media? What platforms and funding models will be used in the next decade? I know that our panelists have been experimenting with new ideas and programs at their outlets and I look forward to chatting with them about what the future holds for media. I’m especially excited to have Jim Friedlich on the program. As executive director of Lenfest, Friedlich is on the front lines of developing sustainable models for local journalism. If you’re unfamiliar with Lenfest—and unless you follow the nonprofit media landscape closely, I imagine you are—it was started in 2016 by cable TV mogul Gerry Lenfest. In addition to an initial gift of $20 million, Lenfest also gifted his ownership of the Philadelphia Media Network (the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com, the Philadelphia region’s largest local news website). These properties serve as a live lab for the Institute’s innovation efforts, which I’m personally excited to hear the latest on. All of us working in this embattled space can use a leg up. As usual, we’ll be serving tasty vittles—this time from Cinnamon and TSpoon—and delicious bevvies from local artisanal providers, all in the salubrious confines of the region’s newest coworking space, CO.

Esteemed Reader of Our Magazine: I really love Neil Gaiman. I mean I love his writing, but I feel like I know him, his inner life, through his writing. I savor the deep, sensual enjoyment he evidently takes in crafting prose, his ability to resist resorting to gratuitous negativity, and the almost esoteric, mythical narratives he creates. Mostly I love that Gaiman conveys a profound sense of an invisible, omnipresent separate reality. He gives the sense that reality is comprised of coexisting and interacting strata of worlds. Gaiman is not the only contemporary author that does this well (though he may be the only one that’s local!). I count Phillip Pullman, Hayao Miyazaki, Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis, and some others in the same category of contemporary world-weaving mythologists. The effect is to be drawn into a greater consciousness. Most comparable writing is ancient and its authors are anonymous, including the mythology and scripture of every tradition. These are the tales that interweave the visible and invisible worlds; the myths in which the natural, supernatural, and supra-natural are simultaneous and overlapping; the stories that describe a reality in which gods, spirits, and men walk together and time transcends the linear model. The idea of these interpenetrating worlds has rung true in the psyche of humanity for all recorded history. It’s in Norse cosmology, which shows nine worlds strung on the world tree,Yggdrasil. It’s in the Indian Vedas, Sumerian epics, Egyptian creation stories, and the Old and New Testaments. This cosmology is even reflected in the western musical scale of hermetic origin, describing seven worlds within one body like an ever-growing cosmic tree whose branches grow in every direction, in descending octaves from universe (DOminus), to starry world (SIderea), to our Milky Way (LActe), to our sun (SOL), to the fated movements of the planets (FAta), to the Earth (MIcrocosmos), to our moon—the queen of the sky (REgina). Each describes a world of progressively greater magnitude, refinement, and freedom. I think this fascination with simultaneous and interacting worlds rings true because it is true. We can look to our own experience to inquire into and perhaps verify the concept. Firstly, we live in a world of material objects, in which things interact in a linear flow of time. Our own bodies exist in this world, and most of our lives have to do with caring for these bodies and with obtaining other objects, substances, and interactions that support the well-being and enjoyment of our bodies. Indeed the entire cosmology embodied in the worldview of science and medicine takes the world of physical bodies to be the “real” world.This idea is so ingrained and dogmatic that to suggest otherwise is a kind of heresy. But there is another world that, from an experiential standpoint, may possess an even greater reality. We experience this second world as our inner life and describe it in the language of qualities—art, poetry, scripture, and narratives that relate the qualitative experience arising between things. The media of the second world is the stuff of the psyche— thought, feeling and emotion, sensation, and consciousness. This world is usually invisible because, like water to fishes, it is the medium in which we swim. But this inner life-stuff is actually the way we know and metabolize the experience of everything in the object world. It may even be its template and origin. The science of objects would have us believe that our inner life is a byproduct of physiological processes, but this assumption begs a healthy skepticism and inquiry. It may be that the inner-life-stuff permeates everything living and non-living, that all apparent objects and their relationships are imbued with a qualitative existence and consciousness. Perhaps this second world in fact provides the substrate and matrix of the material world. Most importantly, we may experience this by inhabiting the media of our own psyche, and experiencing the objects of things and people with a view to their inner content. There’s at least a third world that the shamans of ancient Mexico, via Carlos Castaneda, called Intent. Intent is the action of creative will, intention, which by virtue of arising from a larger, more encompassing world, can imbue the qualitative realm of inner life-stuff with a coherent pattern and intelligence. A simple example is anything constructed, like a stone wall, in which we can see preserved and reflected the action of the builder’s intention, projected through her skill, creativity, and capacity. As Gaiman suggests, we are made to experience and dwell in these interpenetrating worlds. It is the birthright of born humans and the destiny of evolved humanity to live in at least three worlds. Though we live in a few small rooms, the whole house is ours to inhabit. —Jason Stern

Gathering Place SILVIA IN WOODSTOCK the rock musical!

MUSICAL PRODUCTION INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY: Contact: 845 569-1234 and/or Email Inquiries to: Info@SoundScriptStudios.com

n the 1970s, the Joyous Lake was the hottest music club north of NewYork City, hosting everyone from the Rolling Stones to Muddy Waters and serving as the social hub of Woodstock. After a long dormant period, the iconic building on Mill Hill Road was renovated and reimagined in 2017 as Silvia, an unpretentious restaurant with serious food and sophisticated-yet-rustic design. In its first 18 months, Silvia has become an integral part of the community, a place where visitors and locals can gather for celebrations both large (holiday parties) and small (romantic dinners). Silvia’s menu can be described as hyperlocal new-American food with global inspirations and an emphasis on Korean and other Asian influences. “Some of our most popular items are our Korean bibimbap, sustainable seafood bouillabaisse, and the ash-roasted squash that we cook in the hot ash from our wood-burning grill,” says chef Doris Choi, whose dishes embody a lightness of touch that leave diners feeling sated but not stuffed. Midweek specials are an additional draw: Tuesday is (grass-fed and -finished) burger night ($14); Wednesday is fish and chips night ($15); and Thursday is dollar oyster night. A heady but approachable wine list leans toward natural wines, pairing Silvia’s ingredient-forward philosophy with estates that strive to express terroir. The cocktail program is also on point, featuring twists on the classics, like the Lemon Thyme Corpse Reviver #2. Eight craft beers rotate on draft, many from local breweries like West Kill and Arrowood Farms. Approachable, smart, and versatile, Silvia is the new home for destination dining in Woodstock. Silvia 42 Mill Hill Road, Woodstock Dinner is served nightly from 5 to 10pm. (845) 679-4242; Silviawoodstockny.com

Street sign in the Romanian village of Pecica loosely translates to “Drunk Citizens.”

Alcohol consumption is linked to some 2.8 million deaths each year, according to researchers who concluded that there is no safe level of alcohol use. Alcohol is associated with nearly one in 10 deaths in people ages 15 to 49 worldwide, making it the leading risk factor for people in that age range, according to an analysis of earlier studies, published in the Lancet medical journal in August. “The conclusions of the study are clear and unambiguous: Alcohol is a colossal global health issue,” said Robyn Burton of King’s College London, an author of the study. “The solutions are straightforward: Increasing taxation creates income for hard-pressed health ministries, and reducing the exposure of children to alcohol marketing has no downsides.” In April, another large analysis of earlier studies, also published in the Lancet, found some reduction in heart attacks among drinkers but concluded that alcohol use increased the risk of premature death from several other ailments. The main causes of alcohol-related deaths in the 15-to-49 age group were tuberculosis, car crashes, and suicide, the study found. For those over 50, the leading alcoholrelated cause of death was cancer. The authors took data from nearly 700 previous studies to estimate the prevalence of alcohol in different countries, finding that the biggest drinkers were in European countries. The average Romanian man drank the equivalent of 8.2 bottles of beer a day in 2016, the most in the world. Source: Bloomberg In August, right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s Infowars newsfeed was barred from the largest social media platforms—YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter—for violating the platforms’ standards and practices policies. At the time, Jones received a notable spike in publicity and causing him to claim victory on his live internet feed after being outcast from social media. “The more I’m persecuted, the stronger I get,” Mr. Jones said on his live internet broadcast three days later. “It backfired.” Yet a review of traffic on Infowars several weeks after the bans shows that the tech companies drastically reduced Mr. Jones’s reach by half by cutting off his primary distribution channels: YouTube and Facebook. That Facebook and Google, which owns YouTube, muffled one of the internet’s loudest voices so quickly illustrates the tremendous influence a few companies have over public discourse and the spread of information. Infowars, however, is a tricky issue for Republicans—many dislike the idea of tech companies censoring political speech, but Jones spreads lies and conspiracy theories like butter on toast. (A Texas judge recently denied his motion to dismiss a defamation lawsuit by parents of children killed six years ago in the Sandy Hook school shooting, which Jones has labeled a hoax.) Source: New York Times New cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis spiked nearly 10 percent in 2017, continuing a four-year trend of rising sexually transmitted diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 2.29 million new cases of these three common yet treatable sexually transmitted diseases were diagnosed in 2017. The number of new STD cases continued a “steep, sustained increase” since 2013, the CDC reported. The 24 CHRONOGRAM 10/18

rise in cases is at record levels, but the federal budget has not increased STD program funding since 2013, leaving health departments scrambling to address the problem with fewer resources. “There is a shocking increase in STDs in America,” said David Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors. “We think there is a direct correlation between the increase in the number of STDs” and the lack of federal funding increases. Experts said many factors have led to the increase in STDs, including a lack of awareness about the seriousness of infection and changing sexual behavior. Medical technology such as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, a daily medication used to reduce the risk of HIV transmission, have prompted some to no longer use condoms. “You don’t need a medical degree to prevent an STD,” said Michael Fraser, executive director of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. “You need to talk to people about using condoms.” Source: USA Today How many lies can one president tell? This summer, the Washington Post set to find out. Over 601 days since becoming president, Trump has told 5,001 lies. (Undoubtedly, he has told more since September 12, when these numbers were calculated.) Nearly one third of Trump’s misleading claims—1,458—relate to economic issues, trade deals, or jobs. For instance: almost 40 times, Trump has claimed the economy today is the “greatest” in US history, a statement not backed up by data. Immigration is the top source of Trump’s misleading claims. Forty-three times just in the past six months, for instance, the president has falsely claimed his long-promised border wall with Mexico is being built, even though Congress has denied funding for it. The president has made 445 statements about the Russia probe, using hyperbolic claims of “worse than Watergate,” “McCarthyism” and, of course, “witch hunt.” He often asserts the Democrats colluded with the Russians, even though the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign were victims of Russian activities, as emails were hacked and then released via WikiLeaks. All told, more than 200 times the president has made claims suggesting the Russia probe is made up, a hoax, or a fraud. The mounting evidence against the unindicted-co-conspirator-in-chief is likely to prove him wrong. Source: Washington Post Scientists from the University of Athens studied 660 men who followed a Mediterranean diet, which is high in fruit and vegetables, legumes, fish, nuts, and olive oil. It found that only 20 percent of the men, who were 67 years old on average, reported erectile dysfunction. In comparison, estimates show that 52 percent of men between 40 and 70 years old suffer from erectile dysfunction. The study recommends eating nine tablespoons of olive oil, 13 servings of vegetables, six pieces of fruit, three servings of fish, and two portions of beans a week to decrease risk. However, study authors believe olive oil is especially beneficial because it keeps blood vessels healthy. This is important because the penis relies on a steady supply of blood to maintain erections. Dr. Miguel Pineda, Director of Male Sexual Dysfunction and Urologic Prosthetics at Staten Island University Hospital, says that dousing your food in olive oil isn’t a magic bullet, “It is important to realize that there is no quick-fix to prevent or cure erectile dysfunction,” Pineda says. “My concern is that people will see a headline about olive oil preventing erectile dysfunction, and they will continue with their usual unhealthy diet and lack of exercise and simply consume spoonfuls of olive oil.” Adapting healthier habits overall, like exercising and following the Mediterranean diet, could help with impotence. Sources: Newsweek, Men’s Health A survey conducted by the real estate firm Douglas Elliman found that about 20 percent of all retail space in Manhattan is currently vacant, compared with roughly seven percent in 2016. “When you walk the streets, you see vacancies on every block in all five boroughs, rich or poor areas—even on Madison Avenue, where you used to have to fight to get space,” said Faith Hope Consolo, head of retail leasing for Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Particularly hard hit are gentrifying areas in Brooklyn and many of Manhattan’s top retail strips in some of the world’s priciest shopping districts, from Broadway in SoHo to Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side. Soaring rents and competition from online shopping have forced out many beloved mom-and-pop shops. Then there is the blight that shuttered stores bring, including vagrants, graffiti, and trash. Some tenants blame storefront warehousing by landlords waiting for development deals or zoning changes, or simply holding out for higher rents. Sound familiar, Hudson Valley? Source: New York Times

GILLIAN FARRELL

Larry Beinhart’s Body Politic

THE SIXTH OF NOVEMBER This month I send you a rhyming note. Autumn is coming and it’s time to vote. ‘Tis October, but you must remember, election day is the sixth of November.

Think of how Trump loves to gloat. Let nothing stop you, cast your vote. If it’s cold, wear your boots and coat. If it floods, row, row, row your boat.

It’s the theme of his people and party too: Fear the immigrants coming after you. They’re taking advantage, making you feel small. The answer is build a wall, very, very tall.

Stick a memo on your refrigerator. Be on time, you can’t go later. Write it down, put it in your phone, go with a friend or go it alone.

If winds blow and its stormy weather, think of Stormy Daniels in the altogether, the sex worker who stood up to Trump with a rolled-up Forbes hit him on the rump.

Get rid of the phonies who get your goat. It’s okay, you can call them scrotes. Keep on trying until sanity wins, understand we must do it again and again.

You don’t need a tie or formal dress, no need to daven, pray, or confess. You’re not trying to get absolution you’re trying to achieve a better solution.

It’s hard to speak of the Senate in rhymes when they make it their goal to cover up crimes of the president and of judges, out of greed and ancient grudges.

Call your neighbors, call your friends, if we don’t vote, this never ends. It’s in our hands, it’s not about fate. Even call people who are out of state.

There’s a deep need that must be faced— use the broom to get rid of the waste. Think of those we must demote, like clearing a chimney of creosote.

There are so many things we need to fix so please don’t forget, November Six. Don’t fear the Russians or dirty tricks or that someone is going to put in the fix.

Voting is one of the very few acts, which can turn facts back into facts. It will be the real Art of the Deal to elect people who will make truth real.

If this were audio, I’d scream and shout, “Time to vote the rascals out!” With enough turnout for us to win, we can vote better rascals in.

From the suburbs, the cities, and the towns, please, it’s time to vote out the clowns. From high on the hill and down in the glen let us make America sane again.

Imagine a Congress that wants to know what the Russians did a short time ago. What humbles Trump when with Vladimir? Why is that and what does he fear?

We’ve had cheats, scoundrels, and crooks, so it says in the history books. Yet I can say with the firmest belief this is our first Commander-in-Thief.

The party in power is the party of Trump playing you for a fool and for a chump. It’s the senators and the congressmen too, all in lock step, doing the dirty to you.

Trumpettes think he puts America first. Is that even worth a line of verse? Face it buddy, bubba, pal, and bub, He puts America second to a Trump golf club.

It may sound mean and a little vicious, but synonyms for Trump are: meretricious, tawdry, trashy, florid, gaudy, and cheap, a hooker’s dream of the perfect creep.

Their promises are just bait and switch, they’re being paid to cut taxes for the rich. They say they love us and they care, but they’re against clean water and clean air.

Make this the time, make this the hour, we’ve let money have too much power. While we still can vote and it’s not too late, let’s use the ballot and take back our fate.

One wonders if Melania’s all there in a jacket that says, “I really don’t care.” Always dressed in the latest rag, face frozen like Zoolander in drag.

Praising democracy with every expression while they’re working hard at voter suppression. it is neither libel nor some sort of slander to say they are devoted to the gerrymander.

Make your votes count, make them shout, remind the world what democracy’s about. Move away from exclusion, racism, and hate that’s what makes America great.

If you are wondering what this rage is, just think of children put in cages. Think of the pain and think of the harm of a child ripped from their mother’s arms.

Trump loves to make America hate, it’s his touchstone, it’s his home plate, His daddy was arrested with the Klu Klux Klan, racism was where his campaign began.

‘Tis October, but you must remember election day is the sixth of November. Don’t say it doesn’t matter or you don’t care. Do what you must, you must be there.

MOVING BEYOND BLAME Mental Health Education By Anne Pyburn Craig

n the wake of the Parkland school shooting in February, the Federal School Safety Commission, under the leadership of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, spent the summer holding listening sessions and panel discussions. Building security, threat assessment, and schools as â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardened targetsâ&#x20AC;? dominated much of the conversation. High-profile debates focused on arming teachers and balancing threat awareness with student privacy concerns. Encouragingly, the commission also held a field hearing in Adams, Wisconsin, to learn what a trauma-informed school mental health structure looks like.Wisconsin educators are trained in a continuum of care, from early identification of issues to long-term interventions, and provide it on-site; everyone in the building, cafeteria staff included, is trained in mental health first aid.

The intersection between safety and mental health can be a tricky conversation. People facing mental health challenges are 10 times likelier to be the targets of violence than to be violent. Mental health professionals, especially those who work with youth, dread broad-brush conceptions that paint their clientele as the problem. They’re not; only four percent of mass shooters have been diagnosed with major mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or clinical depression. Symptoms of anger, alienation, and substance abuse are another story, though, and it is rare for the situation to arise overnight. “If someone is coughing and sneezing, we all know what to do—keep a little distance, wash our hands,” says Lauren Bennett, chief program officer at Green Chimneys, a therapeutic and educational community based in Brewster. “But many of us have no idea how to react when we see unexpected tears or anger besides look away. There’s still a popular conception that mental illness means you’re standing on the corner drooling in a tinfoil hat, ranting at a signpost. Meanwhile, almost no one gets through childhood unscathed; good outcomes are about having the resources and coping skills to handle what you’re handed.” Half of all major mental health disorders begin before the age of 14, but stigma and lack of understanding mean a delay of years before treatment is even attempted. And while only about one in 20 people develop a serious mental illness, about one in five experience some form of mental illness in their lives.

them by phone and in person for trainings and presentations,” he says. The agency is also holding a series of summits on youth mental health first aid. With the advisory council, New York’s Education Department has produced a 79-page document outlining their expectations for teaching “selfmanagement, relationships, and resource management” across all grade levels. The New York State Framework for Mental Health Education Instruction includes concepts such as mindfulness, communication strategies, healthy self-expression, and the benefits of gratitude as part of health instruction beginning in the early elementary grades and reinforced in greater depth up through high school graduation. A Focus on Mental Hygiene Of half a dozen Hudson Valley school superintendents contacted, not one responded to a request for more information on how they planned to implement the new mandate. Some districts have had mental health literacy among their goals for years; New Paltz, for example, has already been teaching mental, social, and emotional health beginning in grade 5, and resources for self-care and helping others after a trauma are featured on the district homepage. Newburgh’s high school health electives include a course “founded on the principles of wellness” that covers personality development, but the words “mental illness” are mentioned only in the description of a health elective course on criminal justice. It’s hardly a brand new notion. The Department of Superintendents of the National Education Association established in 1928 that “mental hygiene must be emphasized and protected.” Much more recently, tactics like mindfulness and conflict resolution skills have made inroads in public school instruction. What mental health professionals are hoping is that by placing mental wellness on a par with eating right and washing your hands, the stigma will finally be vanquished. “You just can’t have health—or learning— without mental health,” observes Ellen Pendegar, CEO of the Ulster County Mental Health Association. “This needs to be understood as just another part of the human condition, a normal part of staying healthy like sleeping well. We’re proud that we got this legislation, but we take very seriously our responsibility to help the schools. We’re not asking teachers to become therapists. We’re here for them. They have so many demands on them already, but that’s where the youth are, and if somebody can get help to integrate and be well, it’ll make the teacher’s job easier, not more difficult. They’ll have better students. Better citizens. A lot of good people really, really want this to happen, because it’s a win/win for the whole human race.” “Mental health is not just about chronic conditions, it’s about knowing how not to let the negative things that happen define you, how to ask for help with thoughts and feelings,” says Bennett. “The link between trauma and poor health has been proven repeatedly; when we intervene early and correctly, we save lives and millions of dollars. Thing is, when we blame the people with health issues that show up as behaviors, as if they’re just choosing to be maladapted, we can pretend it’s not us, not part of our lives. Empathy is painful. But we need to start asking, ‘What happened to you?’ instead of ‘What’s wrong with you?’ Whether it’s genetics, environment, or trauma, we have to stop blaming people who are sick and give them tool kits and assistance. Teaching kids to understand that in a matter-of-fact way is a major step in the right direction.”

The Department of Superintendents of the National Education Association established in 1928 that “mental hygiene must be emphasized and protected.” Much more recently, tactics like mindfulness and conflict resolution skills have made inroads in public school instruction.

A State Mandate Most discussion of mental health in school focuses on the student as object of care and intervention. New York and Virginia have just become the first two states to take a deceptively simple step toward empowering the kids themselves: mandating mental health education as part of the health curriculum alongside physical hygiene, nutrition, and substance abuse. “We’re not talking about teaching kids Psych 101,” says John Richter, director of public policy for the New York State Mental Health Association. “We’re giving them a tool kit: the knowledge and information to recognize signs and symptoms in themselves and others, how substance use can be self-medication, debunking the stigma that having a problem makes you wrong or broken.” The law was passed in 2016, adopted by the Board of Regents in May of this year, and came into effect on July 1. Richter says it was the MHA’s primary legislative focus for five years. “We got some pushback from NYSUT [the New York State teacher’s union] at first, but it was just reflexive, because there are never enough hours in the day as it is,” he says. “But educators are desperate for help and beside themselves with what they’re seeing in their students. They might have one social worker helping them with 1,500 students.” To help schools with the implementation of the new mandate, Richter and his colleagues worked with an advisory council made up of “educators, mental health professionals, school nurses, guidance counselors, teachers— pretty much every role in the school,” he says. “We came up with guidelines, parameters, and resources that schools can draw upon. There is no single mandated curriculum. Consistent with the way a lot of education is done, the details are locally determined with some help from the state.” The MHA, with the help of $1 million in funding from the legislature, has established an online School Mental Health Resource and Training Center offering programs, resources, lesson plans, and a discussion forum. Richter says the MHA stands ready to offer guidance in real time. “We’re available to 28 EDUCATION CHRONOGRAM 10/18

Back to School: Grown-Up Edition SUNY ULSTER SERVES ADULT STUDENTS

ational studies have found that 65 percent of future job openings will require some type of college degree, which a large portion of Ulster County citizens do not have, according to recent research by SUNY Ulster. “We realized that we need to serve this audience better than we have in the past,” says Mindy Kole, Associate Dean of Adult Learning and part of the AdultEDge team. While SUNY Ulster has always had adult students, this new program is specifically geared at creating more easeful avenues for adult students to earn their degrees. AdultEDge has instituted several changes to this end. A larger selection of evening classes is now being offered at the Kingston Center of SUNY Ulster. SUNY Ulster has also increased the number of blended online/inperson classes. These credit courses allow students to complete the online portion whenever it fits with their work and family schedules, without sacrificing the interactive component of live classroom learning. Alternatively, for those who are trying to complete as many credits as quickly as possible, accelerated classes are a good option. Only offered in select areas, this accelerated program condenses 15-week classes into seven weeks, making it possible to complete two courses back-to-back in one semester. New AdultEDge procedures also include a Prior Learning Assessment, in which students may earn credits for college-level learning obtained in non-traditional settings, such as the workplace. SUNY Ulster is also rolling out microcredentials, which are awarded after a certain number of courses are completed and a competency exam or assessment is passed. Students earn digital badges for use on resumes and LinkedIn profiles that tell employers they have demonstrable competency in a workplace skill, such as Excel or Quickbooks. “We have seen a 15-percent increase in our adult student population from last year,” Kole says. “The community college is the ideal place for these students.” AdultEDge offers programs in Business, Human Services, Criminal Justice, Technology, and General Studies.

RISE UP KINGSTON

BY ELISSA GARAY PHOTOS BY JOHN GARAY

ingston is a city on the rise. While its prestige and pocketbook may have faltered in a familiar boom-and-bust cycle over the last four centuries, a synergy of old-meets-new is presently manifesting distinct visions of revival across the city’s three communities: Uptown, Midtown, and The Rondout. There’s the steadfast tenacity of Kingstonians of yore, invigorated by the fresh enthusiasm of newcomers; transporting historic districts met by gleaming new developments; legacy businesses standing beside innovative entrepreneurial ventures. For better or worse, tens of millions of dollars are being funneled into Kingston presently, in the form of government grants and private investments. The people, the money, the moment—it’s here. The time for Kingston is now. Uptown Uptown Kingston, with its historic Stockade District that still hints of Dutch colonial days, isn’t gathering any moss. Instead, it’s leading the charge in Kingston’s modern-day makeover. Most buzzworthy, it’s the beneficiary of a $10 million 2017 Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) state grant, meant to stimulate economic growth and improve quality of life. While the DRI money is earmarked for Uptown, Kingston Mayor Steve Noble is quick to point out that “each of the projects that were selected will benefit the city as a whole.” The most notable initiative is The Kingstonian, a $48-million mixed-use development, which will get $3.8 million in grants and bring 132 apartments, 34 hotel rooms, commercial space for restaurants and retail, and a 420-space

parking garage to the intersection of North Front and Fair streets. Other priority DRI plans include $2.5 million toward updates to Dietz Stadium—the most requested project during the public engagement process, according to Noble—as well as the Andretta Pool; some $1.3 million toward improving traffic, pedestrian access, and signage; nearly $1 million in improvements to Schwenk Drive (gateway to Kingston Plaza); and nearly half a million toward restoring the ruins of the historic stone Louw-Bogardus House and creating an adjacent public park. While the timeline for the individual components is still being developed, Noble anticipated that all DRI projects would be completed within approximately two years. Most prominently on the private investment front, meanwhile, are two big New York City-based developers—each known for their role in transforming Manhattan’s Meatpacking District—who are snatching up Uptown real estate with big visions for the city’s untapped potential. Neil Bender has his hands in two big Uptown pots: Over the last year, he’s acquired the old Woolworth building at 311 Wall Street, as well as the Kingston school district’s administrative headquarters, the Cioni Building, on Crown Street. Bid documents indicate that the Cioni Building is destined to become a boutique hotel and spa, with support amenities, including a pool and gym, provided at the nearby 317 Wall Street building, another of Bender’s acquisitions. The fate of the long-vacant Woolworth building remains unclear: Plans predating the building’s sale called for the Kingston Food Exchange, a proposed food hall and natural food market, which have since been put on hold indefinitely.

Rachel McCrystal, Lizz DeFeo, and Alexandra Shea of Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, at Rough Draft Bar & Books.

The other big player is Charles Blaichman, who’s owned a home in nearby Woodstock since the ’90s, and is all in on Kingston. “He’s been coming to Kingston for years, saying ‘Someday, someday,’” says his Kingston-based property manager Nan Potter, of Potter Realty, adding, “And, finally, the timing was right.” Blaichman has purchased four historic Stockade District buildings that will function as a four-part, high-end boutique hotel totaling 43 rooms, which are slated to open up on a staggered basis between late 2018 and the end of 2019. The first of the four buildings—which will be the cornerstone and hub of the hotel concept, with its lobby, ground-floor restaurant/bar, and 10 independently designed rooms—will be set in the old corner bank building at 301 Wall Street. Satellite locations will follow. Blaichman has picked up at least seven additional properties throughout the city, including 10 Crown Street, the historic stone Cornelius Tappen House that’s now home to the city’s latest cocktail lounge, Crown. Bi-level Crown, from the team behind Uptown home goods shop Exit Nineteen, debuted in July with three indoor and two outdoor spaces; it’s just one of several dining-and-imbibing hot spots to join the Uptown party over the course of the last year. Up the block, Rough Draft Bar & Books has likewise filled in a historic Colonial building with a well-received cafe/bar/bookshop hybrid that’s become a centerpiece for community gathering, bolstered by events like authors’ talks, live music, and trivia. On Wall Street, fine dining farm-to-table eatery Wilde Beest, helmed by Chef Chris Turgeon, opened in June to rave reviews, elevating the Kingston dining scene to unprecedented levels. Nearby, Palizzata, from father-son team Eric and Joseph Cafaro, debuted in July to deliver authentic Northern Italian cuisine. On the retail front, North Front Street’s parade of boutique newcomers has

deemed it practically unrecognizable from just a year ago. Try Kingston Consignments for its ground-floor consignment shop and some 30 antique vendors upstairs; Rebecca Peacock for original jewelry pieces by the shop’s namesake designer, along with handcrafted items from area makers; Lovefield Vintage for curated vintage clothing; or Anderst for designer duds by owner/designer Sylvia Grieser. Bluecashew Kitchen Homestead offers quality kitchenware and a demo kitchen for local chef-led cooking classes. An annual outdoor makers’ marketplace on North Front Street will showcase many of the new shops: The inaugural Uptown Autumn Street Fair is scheduled for October 13. Elsewhere in the Stockade District, seek out antique furniture store Stuff, a recent import from Rosendale, or stylish men’s boutique/gift shop Hamilton & Adams, which—along with Exit Nineteen and the Kingston Uptown Business Association (KUBA)—are behind the Stockade Nights, a Friday-evening shopping initiative that launched in September, with nearly 20 participating businesses featuring special offers and extended hours in what’s anticipated to be a near-monthly event. Other events to watch for include the Uptown-anchored, three-day artsand-music extravaganza O+ Festival, which will be enhanced with more family-friendly programming and comedy for its ninth edition in 2018 (October 5-7); look out for seven new-for-2018, large-scale, festival-sponsored murals on buildings throughout the city, too. During Pride Month in June, O+ collaborated with the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Center and Radio Kingston to paint four rainbow crosswalks at the intersection of Wall and John streets. Eleni Loizou, president of KUBA and proprietor of the Dietz Stadium Diner says of the developments, “It’s just very good energy for everybody, people are excited, they can’t wait to see all of the new things that are coming. Uptown is booming.” 10/18 CHRONOGRAM COMMUNITY PAGES 35

Midtown Of course, not everybody is quite so enthusiastic.With the influx of investment, there’s been a surge in the price of local real estate, raising community concerns about gentrification. An increasing shortage of affordable Kingston rents for retail space and apartments is emerging as one of the city’s major challenges. While businesses are blossoming throughout Uptown, many of the fresh ventures are a result of longtime commercial tenants being pushed out in the face of rent hikes from new building owners. For instance, Saker Guitar Works, which had occupied its storefront on North Front Street for 10 years, recently relocated to Midtown’s Barcone’s Music after facing a 60-percent rent hike. Discussing such mom-and-pops, Kevin O’Connor, CEO of Kingston-based, affordable housing developer RUPCO explains, “They end up needing to close and to relocate to more affordable space.” In turn, for the new shopkeepers, higher rents demand bigger profit margins, with a newer breed of pricier boutiques and eateries perhaps out of line with the economic realities of many Kingstonians. For residential rentals, the story is even bleaker. According to data analyzed by RUPCO, Kingston demands one of the top rent-to-earnings ratios in New York State. Alex Panagiotopoulos, cofounder of Kingston Creative and moderator of the Gentrification & Community Development Issues in Kingston NY Facebook group page, cited more than 130 evictions in Kingston thus far in 2018, mostly unfolding in the Midtown area. It’s a neighborhood known for its vacant and underutilized industrial spaces, where more affordable rentals have increasingly lured artists and entrepreneurs over the last decade. However, lower home ownership rates and lower median incomes here have made residents more vulnerable to displacement. “There is no long-term success in Kingston if decent housing is unaffordable for working-class people,” Panagiotopoulos cautions, adding, “Cities are supposed to have a cross-range of class, age, ethnicity, sexuality, and experiences; they’re not supposed to be playgrounds for rich people or parking lots for their cars.” A counterbalance for affordable housing in Kingston in the face of rising rents has been offered by RUPCO, which most recently backed the Lace Mill adaptive reuse project in Midtown, converting an abandoned, century-old lace factory into 55 units of artists’ housing in 2015. Upcoming RUPCO projects include the solar-powered, six-story Energy Square facility on the site of Midtown’s demolished old bowling alley, due to debut in late 2019 with 57 mixed-income units of housing, a new space for the Center for Creative Education, and a public park.Their other planned housing development, Landmark Place, set within the historic Alms House, was slated to provide 66 apartments for seniors, veterans, the disabled, and formerly homeless, but approval plans were rejected in a surprise vote by the City of Kingston Planning Board in August. While the site’s future is now up in the air, Guy Kempe, RUPCO’s vice-president of community development, notes that, “We’re committed absolutely to preserving that property and putting it to good use for the city of Kingston.” Like RUPCO, the city of Kingston also has a stake in addressing the affordable housing problem, pursuing its own initiatives like crafting actionable Equitable Development and Fair Housing plans, as well as recently establishing the Kingston City Land Bank. “I think if there was one community in the Hudson Valley that is really earnestly engaged in the concerns of gentrification, it’s Kingston,” acknowledges O’Connor. Midtown has also evolved into a hub for notable nonprofit ventures. Formed in 2015 with a mission of “fostering resilience and regeneration in the Hudson Valley,” the Good Work Institute strives to connect like-minded organizations and community members working toward positive change. By year’s end, they’ll move into their first official headquarters in the old Girl Scout building on St. James Street, though executive director Matt Stinchcomb says, “It’s much less of a headquarters than a community hub that we’ll be developing.” The building will provide home to some half-dozen area nonprofits (including Rise Up Kington, one of several local beneficiaries of the North Star Fund’s Hudson Valley Momentum grant program), space for public workshops and classes, and a community workspace that Stinchcomb hoped would cultivate “serendipitous interaction.” Radio Kingston, meanwhile, took over WKNY airwaves with a noncommercial platform in November, made possible by funding from the NoVo Foundation (which also supports local organizations like the Good Work

Jimmy Buff, executive director of Radio Kingston, and Manny, host of “La Dosis Perfecta.”

Institute, YMCA of Kingston, and others, through its Supporting Thriving Local Communities initiative). Run by radio personality Jimmy Buff and aimed at cultivating community connection through storytelling, music, and conversation, the station (soon to move from AM airwaves to FM frequency 107.9) features some 40 programs hosted by local community members. They’ll be moving their Broadway headquarters up the block later in 2019. Staying in Midtown was important to the station; Buff says, “As goes Midtown, so goes the rest of Kingston.” By all accounts, Midtown is on the upswing. Money is pouring in for improvements: HealthAlliance is planning a $92-million expansion of the Mary’s Avenue hospital campus; the Kingston High School is in the midst of a $137-million renovation and expansion. Millions more are being allocated to modernize and improve safety on thoroughfares like Broadway (via the Broadway Streetscape Project) and Franklin Street (via the city’s “complete streets” project). And then there are the arts. Formed in 2016, the Midtown Arts District is a growing hub of more than 200 arts-based businesses and studios across 40 buildings. Newer additions include Ferrovia Studios, which debuted space for 14 artist studios; the Department of Regional Art Workers (DRAW), an arts workshop based out of theYMCA; and photographer Aaron Rezny’s 76 Prince Street Studios, which has transformed the former Welch Industrial Supply Co. warehouse into a photo studio and gallery/event space that sees frequent collaborations with the Center for Photography at Woodstock. Upcoming in the pipeline are the Kingston Pop Museum, opening in November on Broadway; later in 2019 will welcome both the 10,000-square-foot Cornell Creative Arts Center, touting 10 artist studios, a dance studio, and a community space for workshops, along with the historic Fuller Shirt Factory building, being transformed by Kingston architect and owner Scott Dutton, to include offices and studio spaces for makers and creatives. The 1920s-era, 1,500-seat Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) is fresh from a $5.4 million renovation that brought improvements to the restrooms and heating and air conditioning systems. Uptown music mecca BSP Kingston has developed a program of intimate shows at the ballroom of The Beverly Lounge. In fact, BSP is just one of several successful Uptown-based businesses that have seen the potential of Midtown and are branching out. Since 2017, outposts of popular yoga studio The Yoga House and the Outdated Cafe (via Outdated Lite) have launched spinoffs here. Outdated Lite rents space inside the Lite Brite Neon studio on Downs Street and fronts segments of a future rail trail. Promises of the development of the Greenline trail system have lured businesses from further afield, too, like Saugerties transplant Revolution Bicycles, which opened in Midtown in April. Other standout newcomers include Village Coffee and Goods, a coffee bar, mini market, and instant neighborhood hub. Three other imminent additions to the Midtown food/drink scene include Lis Bar, pairing cocktails with Polish-inspired small plates; Tubby’s, set within the former Broadway Joe’s on Broadway, where vegetarian pub grub will meet touring live music acts; and Gomen-Ramen, an authentic Japanese ramen noodle eatery from the couple behind New Paltz’s Gomen-Kudasai. 10/18 CHRONOGRAM COMMUNITY PAGES 37

Outside Brunette Wine Bar on Broadway in the Rondout.

The Rondout The maritime-flavored Rondout district (sometimes called Downtown) has been increasingly capitalizing on its waterfront real estate to serve as a destination for recreation, culture, shopping, and dining. The development of the 76-acre Hutton Brickyards complex, on an old 19th-century brickyards site, continues. Following the production of two soldout Bob Dylan concerts there last summer, the Poughkeepsie-based Bardavon is readying to put on a summer series of outdoor concerts in 2019. Since the Dylan shows, the site, with capacity for 3,500 guests, has upgraded its facilities with doubled parking, a new bar, and some two dozen bathroom stalls. Terra Glamping, touting seasonal accommodations in 25 plushly appointed “glamping” (glamorous camping) tents debuted in June. While two attempts at seasonal, riverside food-and-craft vendor fares here (Smorgasburg, which ran for two seasons in 2016/2017 and Hutton Fare, which ran just once in 2018) have failed due to low attendance, the site will host the Field + Supply maker fare for the second time on October 5 through 7. The brickyards project is just one component of massive waterfront revitalization efforts underway. Large-scale government-funded improvements projects are in the works, with some 190 acres of waterfront poised for redevelopment, inclusive of the mile-long, Hudson River-fronting Hudson Landing Promenade, slated for completion by late 2019. The Greenline—a linear network of some dozen rail trails, bike lanes, promenades, parks, and “complete street” connections—marks a partnership initiative between the nonprofit Kingston Land Trust, the City of Kingston, and 38 COMMUNITY PAGES CHRONOGRAM 10/18

Ulster County. The project will serve to ultimately connect all three neighborhoods of Kingston, and is already making considerable headway Downtown, where a section of the Kingston Point Rail Trail and a small park entrance to it (the Hasbrouck-Delaware Parklet) are anticipated for completion in 2019. There are more options for getting out on the water, too, thanks to the Riverport Sailing and Rowing School, which launched last year in partnership with the Hudson Valley Maritime Museum, Kingston Sailing Club, and the Rondout Rowing Club, with sailing programs geared toward youth and adults. The walkable stretch of restaurants, galleries and shops along Broadway and West Strand Street has seen a boost of late, too. For retail, new additions include charming stationery shop South Manor, designer jewelry store Facets of Earth, and dressmaker Zephyr. Last fall, both öl, a Scandinavian tap room by Hetta Glögg, and the revamped Downtown Cafe, serving authentic Venetianinspired Italian cuisine from chef Graziano Tecchio, joined the mix, too. On the cultural front, the modest Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History debuted in May, unfolding within an historic, 19th-century bakery/apartment building on Broadway, with a museum and gallery space focused on highlighting the Hudson Valley’s history of immigration. With limited hours on Saturdays through October, before reopening in May, it’s a place well-suited to reflecting on the resolve and dedication of Kingstonians through the ages. Indeed, it’s the denizens of this small city who have quietly maintained that Kingston, even during its most down-on-its-luck days, was worth sticking around for. Today, with the urban enclave engulfed by rolling layers of renaissance and renewed interest, their secret is out.

A LEGACY OF POTENTIAL

KINGSTON: GRAVITAS & CHARM

K 53 ALLISON COURT

THE BACKYARD AT 53 ALLISON COURT.

ingston is the best kept secret in New York State,” declares the Hudson Valley’s doyen of real estate, Win Morrison. He would know. As owner and founder of Win Morrison Realty, he has nearly 40 years of experience in the local real estate market. Since the ‘80s, his agency has thrived selling and developing properties in Ulster, Greene, Columbia, Dutchess, Orange, and Sullivan counties. Although Morrison has extensive expertise and experience throughout the region, with established offices in Kingston,Woodstock, Saugerties, Phoenicia and Catskill, he’s chosen Kingston as his home base, both working and living in the historic Uptown district. “The restaurants, the theater, and the art in Kingston, as well as the surrounding areas, are really equal to none,” he explains. The town’s unique history as the state’s first capital and its ties to the Hudson River add gravitas to the city’s already plentiful charm. Having had a hand in the resurgence of Kingston over the past thirty years, Morrison knows its history—and its potential—like the back of his hand. He sees the entire city, from the quaint Stockade district all the way down to the working waterfront as ripe for investment. “The big positive has been the rejuvenation of Wall Street in Uptown, Broadway in Midtown, and the Rondout,” he says. Morrison is especially proud of helping to spur the rejuvenation of the Stockade in Uptown, bringing investment and renewal from outside to polish a gem in Kingston’s crown of neighborhoods. “Because of its historic value, we sold many of the buildings Uptown and were able to increase the value of the properties by finding buyers and investors outside of the area,” he explains, adding that he also “sold just about everything that was on the waterfront” as well. Within a city of untapped potential, Morrison sees both the waterfront and north Kingston as particularly under-developed.“The area between Kingston and east Kingston is prime for more high-end development,” he surmises, and the river frontage formerly known as the Brickyard and Sailor’s Cove are “prime, prime, prime locations.” In fact, he says, “the Kingston waterfront is virgin territory.” 53 Allison Court Kingston is also perfect for high-end contemporary residential development. Win Morrison Realty’s listing at 53 Allison Court is a beautiful example of the area’s affordable luxury. Located near the Hillside Acres section of Kingston, this private mini-estate has five bedrooms and three baths, soaring high ceilings, and wood floors. Sleek quartz and stainless steel finishes complete an open plan kitchen with modern appliances. Built in 2002 the property also features a pool, garden and cabana, exemplifying how Kingston offers unparalleled country living within a short drive of an vibrant urban arts, culture, and culinary scene. 53 North Front Street With a historic flair that typifies the Stockade district’s character, this c.1900 flat-roofed building is a great example of the city’s commercial potential. Ornate corniced eaves set off the roofline, with decorative windows and a street-level portico below. The three-story building is also well-positioned in the heart of Uptown’s bustling shopping district to be at the forefront of the city’s revival. The building’s mixed-use format, with a restaurant, office, and storefront at street level and four apartments above, exemplifies the work-life balance most people strive to achieve. Morrison jokes, “In two more years, there’s not going to be anybody left in Brooklyn, because they’re all moving up here.”

CONTRACTOR AARON BOLLMAN’S CLASSIC COTTAGE IN SAUGERTIES by Mary Angeles Armstrong photos by Deborah DeGraffenreid

erhaps if Don Quixote had lived in Saugerties, his story would have ended on a different note. It was there, on a country road, that contractor Aaron Bollman set himself to a slightly crazy task: the ground-up gut renovation of a 1935 cottage with only a shoestring budget and minuscule experience. For Bollman, however, everything fell into place. His story doesn’t end in ruin, but in a compact, classically detailed cottage built from timeless ingredients—salvaged Douglas fir and radiata pine, local expertise, and the spirited generosity of neighbors. It’s the supporting cast that really made the happy ending. “The really interesting character in this story is the neighborhood,” Bollman says.

Aaron Bollman and Lisa Nicholas built their classically detailed cottage on a quiet country lane. The design was inspired by the property’s previous cottage and built from wood salvaged from its teardown. “It’s an evolution of what was here,” explains Bollman. Bollman and Nicholas with their son Hudson on the front veranda. The home’s construction “was a collaboration—my wife and I drove the whole process,” says Bollman. However, their new neighbors stepped in and helped with everything from the tear down to the milling to the framing and construction.

The downstairs living room. Randy Kaisik helped mill the varied floorboards out of pine harvested from the property and felled during Hurricane Irene; the largest floorboard is 19 inches wide. Bollman lined the ceiling beams with radiata pine he found in the previous home’s attic.

Working Master’s Degree In 2008, Bollman and his wife Lisa Nicholas started looking for a weekend property. Based in Manhattan, where Nicholas oversees Syracuse University’s Tepper semester, a year-long Broadway immersion program for drama students, she would have been happy to find a turnkey-condition property, but Bollman was looking for a challenge. Nicholas found the listing online, and they were intrigued enough to come up and see it. The modest, 500-square-foot cottage had once been part of the larger Rusconi farm bordering the southern edge of the 1.12-acre property. Bollman loved it. “What most people looked at and would send them running the other way, attracted me,” he explains. “I really wanted to get my hands dirty.” A native of the Buffalo area, Bollman had been working for an architectural firm in Manhattan and then begun his own contracting business that same year. “I had just started out and I didn’t have any experience, so I thought it would be a way to get some,” he explains. Bollman admits he was putting the cart before the horse a bit, but the property’s low price also gave the couple flexibility. “I could have built up my skill set in New York City, but a house is different, because it is so empirical and there are so many different elements.” The 1935 cottage did present an abundance of challenges. Originally built as a creative getaway and embroidery studio for family matriarch Alice Rusconi, it had sat empty for decades and fallen into a state of disrepair. The Saugerties Building Department even questioned whether the sloped land could accommodate an up-to-code septic. But Bollman felt he had found the right curriculum and schoolhouse. “Call me crazy, I just knew in my heart that it was all going to be okay,” he remembers. Bollman and Nicholas made their offer, and in 2010 the property was theirs. Shortly after, the couple began the huge labor of love that was restoring the cottage. “In retrospect, I didn’t really know fully what I was doing,” he realizes now, “or even what I wanted to do, other than I knew I wanted to engage in building a house from scratch, which I don’t think I ever really articulated to myself, because I probably would have talked myself out of it—but I felt it in my soul.”

Neighbor Tim Vaughn also stepped in to help with lots of the heavy lifting, mentoring Bollman throughout the process and introducing the family to much of the neighborhood.

Bollman hired local contractors to build the screened in porch. The floors are made from Douglas fir floorboards salvaged from the original cottage.

The Cavalry Trickles in Not wanting to rip down history, they hoped to save Alice Rusconi’s cottage. It soon became clear, however, that renovating the original structure would make no sense time-wise or financially. The home would have to be torn down and then totally rebuilt.Without the house to stay in, the couple realized they would need another base of operations. So, they traveled out to Nicholas’s home state of California to collect a relative’s RV, and Bollman drove it back with the help of his brother-in-law. Onsite, Bollman set the RV up as a control center, crash pad, and power generator until the electric, septic, and water systems were installed.Then he began the tear-down.While the prospect of demolishing an old house and building a new one from scratch was daunting, it wasn’t the hardest part. “We came in and we knew nobody and that was exciting and it was also the biggest challenge,” explains Bollman. This was soon to change. Even though they had to tear down the house, the couple tried to salvage as much of the original construction as possible. Radiata pine was saved from the attic and they extracted the original clear Douglas fir floorboards by hand. It was when they carefully pulling off the last of the subfloor planks that the true nature of the surrounding neighborhood began to reveal itself: Three neighbors stopped by with crowbars, introduced themselves, and then lent helping hands. It was also that day that Bollman met his first angel. “That was the day Tim Vaughn rolled into the driveway,” recalls Bollman. Just retired from the US Postal Service, Vaughn was a seasoned woodworker who had years of experience restoring his own historic property down the road. “A character,” Bollman describes him, “He’s totally himself and doesn’t apologize for what he is.” Vaughn explained to Bollman, “I just retired and my wife says I have to get out of the house.” So began their mentorship, where Vaughn not only tutored Bollman in homebuilding but also revealed the area’s wealth of resources, both material and knowledge. The downstairs dining area looks out over old-growth forest. Nicholas chose the whimsical chandelier from the House of Antique Hardware.

Hudson in front of the shed Bollman built. “Support systems are so important,” explains Bollman. “This is not just my story but the story of how all these pieces came together—it’s a really great neighborhood.”

With the original house gone—but some of the salvaged materials on hand—Bollman was free to update the cottage’s design, yet wanted to honor the property’s history. Drawing on his experience working at an architectural firm, he designed the new cottage himself, stretching the floor plan a foot in each direction over the existing footprint. He also flipped the home’s direction and extended the roofline to include a full second story where there once was only attic space, to create a west-facing cottage with a total of 1,158 square feet. The design also incorporated many of the home’s original features—including a three-step farmer’s porch, a pitched roof, and overhanging eaves. Abundance of Wood Vaughn proved to be a fount of ideas, knowledge, and resources throughout the process. He also introduced Bollman to another local treasure—miller Rudy Kaisik. After Hurricane Irene blew through the region, his mill was loaded down with felled trees. Kaisik milled a few for the new cottage as well as three old-growth pines from the property. Added to the wood salvaged from the tear-down, it was more than enough material to begin building. Kaisik also had a backhoe, and came in to help dig a basement, which grew as the trio proceeded. “When we began digging and didn’t hit bedrock, we realized we could go seven feet instead of four, so now we have a full walk-in basement,” says Bollman. At this point, one of the home’s previous owners, John Rusconi, stepped in to help with the framing of the house. “I think they saw me as somebody who didn’t really fully understand what he was getting himself into but had a lot of optimism,” says Bollman. With the modest footprint, the couple knew they would have to be clever

about how they utilized the space. Downstairs, Bollman used pine planks of varying width as the basis of an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living room. Three walls of windows look out into a screened-in covered porch with skylights, as well as a wooded gully and neighboring woods. Bollman incorporated the salvaged pine from the original cabin as lining for the back of the kitchen island and the load-bearing ceiling beams through the first floor. Bollman’s brother-in-law returned at the beginning of winter and helped lay bluestone bought up in Tannersville and install a Yodel wood stove. The couple hired Adirondack Stairs to build a winding staircase to the second-floor landing out of salvaged Douglas fir. Upstairs, the two bedrooms both have vaulted ceilings and wood-paneled walls built of pine trees harvested from the property. Bollman’s brother suggested he capture space above the staircase to create a small half bath for the guest room. With the help of his father, he finished an upstairs covered balcony, which extends the bedroom spaces into the outdoors. A warehouse clearing sale provided fixtures, tile, and an extended porcelain tub for the full upstairs bathroom, as well as fixtures and tile for the kitchen and full bathroom downstairs. When Nicholas was two-and a-half-weeks overdue with their son, Bollman channeled his energy into finishing the home’s final project: a fire deck looking over his neighbor’s property. Still, he realizes that it all could have turned out very differently, if it weren’t for his neighbors-turned-friends. “This house wouldn’t be what it is today if it wasn’t for the fact that it just luckily happened to happen right here amongst all these people. And it really kicked my ass, but it humbled me.” 10/18 CHRONOGRAM HOME & GARDEN 49

Dahlias: the tulips of late summer.

First-Dahlia Confidence: Growing Mexico’s Exquisite National Flower By Michelle Sutton Photos by Larry Decker

eople are afraid to grow dahlias,” Tim Steinhoff says, as he gives me a tour of Germantown Blooms, his flower farm. “I think the prospect of storing dahlias in the winter is what intimidates folks most, but it shouldn’t,” he says. “I store mine in my basement with no special conditions.” Steinhoff calls dahlias the “tulips of late summer and fall,” as they have a tulip-like range of colors and many different classes from which to choose.When he was head of horticulture at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, Steinhoff grew spectacular dahlias for a decade before retiring. Now he runs Germantown Blooms in Colombia County where he lives with his husband, John Kirslis. Dahlias are key components of the cut-flower bundles Steinhoff provides to his Flower CSA subscribers. Dahlias, like potatoes, grow from swollen underground stem structures called tubers. The tubers are planted in spring, then new shoots arise from the “eye” (bud) at the end of each tuber as the stored carbohydrates and other nutrients nourish the new growth. In summer, the tuber’s reserves get used up, leaving just a husk, and new tubers are formed.Those new tubers are dug up in late fall and overwintered indoors, as dahlias originate mostly from northern Mexico and thus are “nearly tropical in their preferences,” says Steinhoff. As you may be able to guess by their floral morphology, dahlias are members of the daisy family (Asteraceae). 50 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 10/18

What’s the first thing someone new to growing dahlias needs to know? Tim Steinhoff: Dahlias must have full sun. Some full-sun plants like or tolerate afternoon shade, but because of how they evolved in the high plains of Mexico, dahlias need sun all day long. Second, although they are adaptable to different kinds of soil, they need good drainage or else the tubers will rot.You could grow dahlias on a slope but not on low land. Are there certain classes of dahlias that are easier to grow than others? Within each class there are some varieties that are easier to grow than others. Dahlias are separated into classes by flower type and/or size. For instance, there are the cactus-type and waterlily-type dahlias. There are the “AA” size class of dahlias, whose flowers are 10-plus inches across, down to the “M” size class of dahlias, whose blooms are under 4 inches in diameter. The American Dahlia Society (dahlia.com) has an excellent summary of dahlia forms. As a class, I’m partial to the collarette-type dahlias. These are small-tomedium flowers with a ring of flat, petal-like flowers surrounding the central disc of tiny tubular flowers—much like daisies. However, the collarette dahlia flowers have the extra charm of an inner set of petaloids (petal-like structures)

that form a “collar” around the disc. The collar is frequently a different color than the flat outer petals, providing an interesting contrast. Not all collarettes are good for cutting, but I love them regardless. Among the varieties I recommend to folks who are trying dahlias for the first time is David Howard, which is a toasty orange color with a brown button in the center on dark purple-bronze foliage. It’s got very sturdy stems, so it doesn’t have to be rigidly staked, and it can be grown in containers as well as in garden beds. Bishop’s Children is another easy-to-grow dahlia with dark foliage, only this one can have burnt orange, deep plum, blood red, or even deep pink flowers, depending on the seedling variability. Bishop’s Children is a literal descendant of arguably the world’s most popular dahlia, Bishop of Llandaff, which has a scarlet red flower on nearly black foliage; both bloom prolifically in late summer right up to the first hard frost. Can you walk us through the seasonal calendar for growing dahlias? Here in the Hudson Valley, I plant dahlia tubers around May 1. I plant them 4 inches deep and refrain from watering until I see green shoots emerge above ground, usually by mid-May. (It’s very important not to water them at planting, because it could cause the tubers to rot.) Most dahlias like to be staked; I put the stake in at planting time when I can see exactly where the tubers are. To promote maximum dahlia stem sturdiness, especially for the varieties with the larger blooms, my former Locust Grove colleague Susan MacAvery liked to plant the tubers 6 inches deep and then gradually fill the soil in. The emergence of green growth is also my cue to fertilize; I scratch in a tablespoon of granular fertilizer on the surface around each plant. Generally, dahlias will benefit from 5-10-5 or another fertilizer (organic or synthetic) with a higher middle number, the “P” (potassium), because that macronutrient promotes bloom. If you use a fertilizer with a high first number, the “N” (nitrogen), you promote vegetative growth at the expense of flowers. I don’t recommend liquid fertilizers for dahlias, because they push growth too fast and they are almost all too high in nitrogen. As soon as the stems are about five inches tall, I pinch them above the second whorl of leaves to promote bushier plants with stronger side shoots for cutting. I mulch the plants once they’re vigorously growing.You can mulch with newspaper topped with a well-rotted organic material (like leaf mulch), but don’t use cardboard, because it can hold too much moisture and rot the tubers. Grooming dahlias weekly is important; remove spent flowers to put energy into new flower buds but also to reduce pathogens. Dahlias bloom their hearts out from late August all the way through to hard frost. Let the plants freeze, leave them in the ground for 10 days, then dig them up and cut the dead top foliage off. (One year I was out of town at the 10-day mark and didn’t get to dig them until two weeks after that; they were fine.) Interestingly, the size of the tubers doesn’t necessarily correlate with the size of the plants/flowers. Some large flowers have small tubers and vice versa. I urge folks: label your tubers as you dig them up, even if you think you will remember. One year [Steinhoff chuckles] I thought I had saved 15 different kinds of dahlias, but it turned out I had only two! I recommend putting a nametag on a string around each tuber and then putting them in bags or newspaper. I store mine in my basement, where it’s about 60 degrees in the winter—and the tubers do fine. Some people store tubers in peat or vermiculite; I don’t, because I want to be able to easily inspect the tubers in the winter. I cull any rotting ones and also see which ones are producing eyes. There will always be some tubers that don’t produce viable eyes, and these have to be chucked. Any other tips or stories? You don’t have to grow dahlias in rows like soldiers; you can grow them in blocks and wedges like I do. They’re just as easy to care for and cut from. At Locust Grove, we grew a “living wall” of a species (wild) dahlia called Dahlia sorensenii that grew 7 feet tall with beautiful single pink flowers. There are dahlias like this one that make bold, structural landscape plants. If you get into growing dahlia from seed, producing seedlings in time for the May 1 planting, you will get flowers and tubers the very first season.

n the 1930s and ’40s, Greene County was a popular vacation destination with German, Italian, and Irish immigrants looking to escape the city. Known as Clear Brook Farms & Cottages in its heyday, this beloved Catskills resort offered lodging, outdoor activities, and farm-fresh cuisine. In subsequent decades, the rise of affordable airfare dealt the area’s many resorts a nearfatal blow. Clear Brook Farm hung on as a well-kept family compound, but after more than three decades, the owners are ready to sell. When you enter the 20-acre property over a private wooden bridge, the rest of the world falls away. A Currier & Ives scene spreads out before you—organic gardens, lush meadows, bountiful orchards, and mature forest. The Plattekill Creek meanders through the property, emptying into a glittering pond large enough to canoe, kayak, or paddle boat, and perfect for ice skating in winter—a sportsman’s, nature lover’s, and photographer’s paradise in any season. With a fully renovated five-bedroom farmhouse and two cottages awaiting interior finishing, this property has plenty of places to sleep. Start a family retreat, set up a glamping site, or create a dreamy B&B with plenty of onsite recreation options for guests. With two large original barns, this property would also make a spectacular wedding destination. “The grounds are a bride’s photography dream come true,” says the listing agent at 4 Seasons Realty Group. “Imagine the photos— with the antique farm equipment, by the creek or by the waterfalls, on the footbridge, by the barns, or on one of the two rocking chair porches—the opportunities are limitless.” Ten minutes away, the riverfront town of Catskill is having a renaissance with the arrival of cool new cafes like HiLo and the performing arts powerhouse Lumberyard. Across the river, Hudson offers endless cultural activities, shows, and antiquing galore. Visitors may, however, find themselves unwilling to leave the premises. After all, the original shuffleboard court still exists. For more information, contact the 4 Seasons Realty Group at (518) 468-0411 or visit Clearbrookfarmny.com.

High Anxiety TREATING OPIOID ADDICTION

he epidemic has definitely gotten worse,” says Victoria Read. “We’re seeing more people die. People die really quickly from fentanyl.” Fentanyl, the synthetic opioid anesthetic that’s 100 times more potent than morphine, is sometimes taken deliberately and sometimes added to heroin or cocaine. The drug was responsible for half of all US drug overdoses in 2016. It’s so potent that, according to prescribing guidelines, a patient using a fentanyl patch for pain relief has to be careful not to use a heating pad with it for fear of releasing too much medication at once and causing a life-threatening condition. The opioid crisis continues to fracture lives and families, from people prescribed pain medication who slide into addiction to the thousands who might have thought they were “partying” and find themselves self-medicating compulsively for physical or emotional pain. Opioids bring the pain with them: repeated use wears out the endorphin system, so that other pleasures fade to dull insignificance while the lure of the high stays strong. Victoria Read is on the front lines; as adult case manager with Family of Kingston, she fields phone calls and walk-in visits from addicted people on a regular basis. “Someone might come in off and on for months for other things before they’re ready to address their opioid issues,” she says. “We don’t judge. We meet them where they are. But when the willingness to talk is there, we do something called motivational interviewing that helps them see what their choices are.” Opioid addiction usually calls for medical detoxification in an inpatient facility as a first step toward recovery. Addicted people can expect to feel horrible for about a week before they start to feel better, just quitting cold turkey with no medical supervision can be dangerous. Addiction strikes people of all social strata; many of those Read deals with are financially strapped.To get Medicaid coverage for inpatient substance abuse treatment, the patient must be assessed at the Department of Social Services; one of the primary qualifiers is to have attempted and failed to stop using with outpatient treatment. Medicaid patients may have it easier in one respect: once a person is assessed and accepted for inpatient treatment, they’ll typically be granted a six- to nine-month stay. Private insurance companies may be far more restrictive, and for many addicted to opioids, 28 days of rehab (the stan-

By Anne Pyburn Craig dard model) is just the beginning. “If you need inpatient, 28 days is probably not long enough,” says Read. “But there are loads of rehabs that take private insurance, and only a few that take Medicaid patients. In Ulster County, there’s only one that’s inpatient, Samaritan Village in Ellenville, and two, Bridge Back and Step One, that do outpatient.” In recognition of the great need, Ulster County has created a dedicated section of its Ulsterhelps.org website where treatment options are sorted by demographics and facility types: there are resources specifically for men or women; teens or veterans; LGBTQ-friendly facilities; and those for the elderly, short-term, long-term and medically assisted. Each subset has a link to the state Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services Treatment Availability Dashboard, where a customizable search will tell the user exactly where open beds exist statewide. The county also offers a page of contacts to help sort through the insurance maze. Rehabs offer a comprehensive reset: group and individual therapies, nutrition, exercise, sober recreational options, a structured routine to make those first few weeks of sobriety bearable. Some facilities are tied to specific religious traditions, others secular. The vast majority employ some form of the 12-step recovery model. “I know there are other choices that exist, but not around here,” says Read. After rehab, some prefer a supported sober housing arrangement. There is one sober living house in Ulster County, in Saugerties; the people running it would like to add another, says Read, “but there’s a lot of NIMBY sentiment around this.” Mid-crisis, the options for treatment have expanded over the past decade. But absent a decision made by the addicted person, the best rehab in the world might as well not exist. “A great many of the people we see are self-medicating their trauma,” says Read. “To stop, they have to decide to deal with all the stuff that put them there, and it’s really big.We just try to be a safe place where they aren’t judged, and I think we achieve that.” For more information on treatment for opioid abuse or addiction: Oasas.ny.gov. 10/18 CHRONOGRAM RECOVERY 55

TOWN, GOWN, & NATURAL RENOWN NEW PALTZ

BY BRIAN K. MAHONEY

he view from the top of the Haggerty Administration Building on the SUNY New Paltz campus, is, to put it bluntly, pretty sweet. One of the lucky owners of that view is SUNY New Paltz President Donald Christian. “I can look out my office window and see the Shawangunk Ridge, the Catskills, and the marvelous Wallkill Valley spreading out below,” says Christian. “I can take the elevator down and walk into a village with restaurants, shops, and art stores. I can also drive to the Metro-North station in Poughkeepsie and be in New York City in an hour and a half. If you wanted to create a classic college town, you couldn’t do better than New Paltz.” The college has certainly had an outsized impact on the community. Since its official accreditation as a four-year institution in 1938, the school has become the dominant economic force in New Paltz, providing jobs and a satellite industry of supporting businesses. In a village with a population of 7,000, SUNY New Paltz’s combined undergraduate and graduate enrollment for 2018 is 7,565 students. And the college continues to grow, both in size and prestige. (The school is now one of the most selective among the SUNYs and had its largest—and most diverse—incoming freshmen class this year.) New dorms have opened in recent years and renovations were completed on Sojourner Truth Library and Wooster Hall. Science Hall, a 77,000-square-foot building designed to support the college’s burgeoning enrollments in the STEM fields, opened in 2017. “Alumni who come back after not visiting for several years are blown away by the pristine appearance of the campus, the new buildings, and the overall physical improvement,” says Christian. A building devoted to 56 COMMUNITY PAGES CHRONOGRAM 10/18

mechanical engineering will be opening in 2019, connecting students with regional manufacturing and technology firms eager for qualified job applicants. But Not Just a College Town Another cornerstone of New Paltz’s economy is nature tourism—and fall is peak tourist season. “We do over a quarter of our visitation in about a month, between late September and late October,” says Gretchen Reed, director of marketing and communications at the Mohonk Preserve, New York’s largest nonprofit nature preserve, protecting over 8,000 acres and welcoming over 200,000 members and visitors annually. It’s also a premier destination for rock climbers—50,000 climbers visit each year to scale hundreds of established routes. (Over Columbus Day weekend, the Preserve, in partnership with the Gunks Climbers’ Coalition is presenting the 20th annual Gunks Climbing Film Festival, with a reception at the Preserve Visitor Center on Friday night and films screened at Studley Theater on the SUNY New Paltz campus on Saturday.) For lovers of adventure sports, the Preserve and the rest of the protected land along the Shawangunk Ridge, which the Nature Conservancy describes the area as “one of the last great places on Earth”—is a mecca of endurance, as evidenced by two annual events.The aptly titled Survival of the Shawangunks is a triathlon-type event across natural terrain with multiple runs and swims. The top finisher from the 2018 race was Astoria’s Timothy Clarke, with a time of 4:38:15. For those itching to compete, Rock the Ridge, a 50-mile race, will be back on May 4, 2019. “Start training now,” Reed recommends.

The biggest recent news in New Paltz has been the opening of the River-toRidge Trail, a $1.7-million project of the Open Space Institute and the Butler Conservation Fund on 360 protected acres. The six-mile trail connects the Carmine Liberta Bridge at the end of Main Street to the edge of the Mohonk Preserve. The Preserve is working on securing permits for another couple miles of trail, which will ultimately connect the village and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail to the Preserve’s trail network. Once completed in the spring of 2019, the River-to-Ridge Trail will allow hikers and bikers to access the trails of the Shawangunks from the village without ever hitting traveling on roads. “It’s a transformative project,” says Tim Rogers, mayor of the village of New Paltz. “Being able to access Minnewaska State Park and the Mohonk Preserve right from downtown is a game changer for New Paltz.”

Economic Capillaries When asked what issues he is currently working on, Rogers assures me it isn’t glamorous. “I try to figure out how to pay for water and sewer and fire and parking,” he says. “My focus is on making sure our infrastructure is up to snuff. We’re facing serious challenges from our failing, century-old water conveyance system, for instance. We need to make sure that our infrastructure—the capillaries of a healthy local economy—work for both existing businesses and new developments.There are plenty of other communities in exactly the same situation we’re in.” Development is often on the mind of Eve Waltermaurer, a SUNY New Paltz professor and chair of the Village Planning Board. “One of New Paltz’s best-kept secrets is that most of the village is completely accessible without a car,” she says. “You can walk or ride your bike to go to a movie, see art, visit friends, or go to a restaurant.” Making sure that new construction aligns with the pedestrian-friendly, small-town character of the community (and the building codes) is the job of the planning board. “We need to maintain the quality of what we have, while allowing for progress,” says Waltermaurer. “We’re interested in development. It’s just a challenge in a place that respects its history and is pretty crowded already.” One major development that’s been in the works for a few years isWildberry Lodge, the brainchild of Steve Turk, owner of Rocking Horse Ranch, a large family resort down the road in Highland and Splashdown Beach water park in Fishkill. Planned on a 57-acre parcel near the New Paltz entrance that has been the site of previous development efforts opposed by the community—a strip mall and a Wal-Mart—the Wildberry Lodge has changed several times since it was introduced as a $75 million water park. The current $42-million proposal is a something else entirely: the resort, slated to open with 90 rooms in 2022, will feature a botanical garden and a largest-of-its-kind butterfly conservatory, according to Turk. “We’re hoping to be a destination for butterfly lovers from across the Metro New York City area and beyond,” says Turk. Like Rocking Horse Ranch, with a staff of 200 year-round and another 150 in season, Wildberry Lodge, if approved, will be a large employer in the region. Turk estimates 145 full-time equivalent jobs will be created. But will it be approved? New Paltz Town Supervisor Neil Bettez is in favor of the project. “We like tourists. We need another hotel—we definitely need more beds, says Bettez. “Those other projects that were proposed for this site didn’t add a lot to New Paltz. You can go to a strip mall or a Wal-Mart anywhere.” Reflecting on the oppositional character of the community to getting mid- or largescale projects built, Bettez says, “In New Paltz, we really like to be against everything. But eventually, we need to choose to be for something. This is the best project we’re gonna get.” Like so many towns and villages across the region, New Paltz is facing development pressures, especially so due to its bucolic character, good schools, walkable size, quality of life, and engaged community. Change, of course, is inevitable, but how New Paltz deals with it will decide its future. Planning Board Chair Waltermaurer hopes that village will embark on a strategic planning process that will catalyze a shared vision of what New Paltz wants to be. “The more voices that go in to this vision, the better,” says Waltermaurer. “People who oppose change often feel like change is happening at them rather than with them.”

Out of Mind is a hybrid science lecture-performance that explores the neurophysiology of depression. Theatre artist Tannis Kowalchuk lends her brain to Dr. Allison C. Waters, a neuroscientist and depression researcher, for an inquiry into how emotions are made in the mind and body. Waters and Kowalchuk unite in their disciplines to make scientific exploration accessible, entertaining and thought-provoking through the art of live performance.

Burnette Gallery Champions the Revival of Woodstock as Arts Colony

ai Burnette’s career has been a patchwork quilt of wildly different phases—long stints in property development, as a life coach, Nashville songwriter, and musician-at-large (opening for the likes of Alison Krauss and John Hiatt, no less). “Life coaching is all about an ontological support of people’s goals,” Burnette says. “A couple years ago, I started to really miss that. So I thought about how I might get back into that in a meaningful way.” She settled on supporting artists and began searching high and low for a space—Florida, Long Island, Upstate. Both of Burnette’s grandmothers were artists, one a gallerist, to boot, and she was groomed to be a painter from a young age, so it’s no surprise that owning a gallery has been a lifelong dream. For the past 25 years, Burnette has lived on and off in Woodstock, so when the Framing Gallery in town became available, she pounced. After many months of renovations, she debuted the exhibit space in July with an emerging artists show titled “Bite Me.” “There are people who create and there are people who creatively help those people attain an audience,” she says. “I am that latter, and I embrace the challenge.” Burnette is drawn to art that is a genuine exploration and expression of the human condition in all its many forms, regardless of geographic origin. “I am interested in art that comes out of struggle and strife,” Burnette says. Herself a victim of child abuse, Burnette has spent a lifetime processing trauma through creativity. Her forthcoming single, “Border Bound,” is about immigrants and war refugees. “Art is what separates us from animals,” she says. Along with the gallery, Burnette has started the nonprofit Emerging Artist Foundation.

Proceeds from select exhibitions will go to the foundation, which will support artists who can’t afford supplies. The gallery will host six-week themed exhibitions with a broad mix of media—from sculpture to fiber to video art installations—chosen by a changing cast of curators that Burnette will personally tap. Some of the upcoming themes she is considering include an exploration of geographic borders, female artists in Islamic states, transgender artists, and contemporary American prodigy artists under 21. “Art should change you or move you. It’s important that I have curators that bring in art that I don’t necessarily understand or like,” she says. “I want this gallery to be an experience every time.” In the coming months, Burnette Gallery will expand into the second floor of the Framing Gallery, and in spring, the backyard will be converted into a sculpture garden. “Woodstock is more than tie-dye and a music festival. We need to return to its roots as an artists’ colony. We have a huge history here,” Burnette says. “The Hudson Valley should be like Naples or Santa Fe—a destination people visit to buy art.” “Fire in the Belly” will open at Burnette Gallery on October 11. Curated by artists Laura Gurton and Carole Kunstadt, this exhibition explores identity, fantasy, mythology, and sensuality through the lens of 26 female artists in the New York region. The artists’ reception will take place during the Woodstock Film Festival, on October 13 at 6pm. “Fire in the Belly” will run from October 11 through November 25.

STRINGS OF DESIRE

The Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase By Peter Aaron Photos by Mark Heller

ass-produced, off-the-rack acoustic guitars can be all right. But very few of them can compete with a truly fine handmade instrument— a one-of-a-kind, music-making work of art built by a dedicated luthier using centuries-old techniques passed down by the master makers of old. There’s a magic in the wood, soaked into it via decades of musical experience, months of monastic workmanship, an abiding appreciation for beauty, and, perhaps more than anything else, a love of the craft.You can feel it in every caress of the varnished neck and body, hear it in every ringing note. To be in a large space filled with such exquisite creations and listen to them being played by some of the world’s greatest musicians—and to get to play a few themselves—would make any guitar geek think they’d died and woke up in heaven. That’s exactly the vibe the founders of the Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase, which returns to the town this month, were going for, and have maintained, since they launched the festival 10 years ago. Today it’s the largest such gathering in North America, attracting attendees from all around the world and appealing to the guitar-curious as well as the connoisseur. “For the first year, we rented the Colony Cafe [now Colony], thinking maybe 40 or 50 people would show up and we had over a hundred,” says WILS coproducer Baker Rorick, who plays in local bands the Purple Knif and the Sunburst Brothers, has a background as a sales rep for ESP Guitars, and writes for guitar magazines. “We ended up moving it to the Bearsville Theater in 2009, and it’s just grown and grown every year since then. Last year we had 2,000 people.” Although there are nearly 80 master luthiers, vendors, and other exhibitors showing at this year’s exposition, the three-day event’s roster isn’t open to just 68 ARTS & CULTURE CHRONOGRAM 10/18

anyone who can string together an instrument. “The lineup is juried,” Rorick explains, referring to the “invitational” component of the name. “Exhibitors have to apply, and we only take the best ones. At this point, there’s a threeyear waiting list of accepted luthiers who want to show here; even though the Bearsville Theater is a huge space, there’s still only so much room, so we can’t have everybody, every time. We rotate the lineup every few years to keep it from being the same exhibitors over and over again, and we strive for diversity and give preference to instrument makers from overseas. It’s not only guitar makers at the showcase: There are violin makers, ukulele makers, banjo makers—even oud and saz makers. Prices can go from $3,000 for a custom ukulele to guitars in the $20,000-to-$30,000 range. We added it up last year and we had over $2 million worth of instruments on view.” The largely volunteer-staffed festival is pure Woodstock, combining the area’s renowned love of music—acoustic-based music, in particular—with art and traditional crafts, all in a typically local, picture-perfect rustic setting. In addition to ogling and playing the dazzling wares of the participating luthiers, eventgoers can meet with them, one-one-one, to discuss commissioning a customized instrument, and attend workshops, talks, clinics (Happy Traum and Rory Block are among this year’s instructors); the Tonewood Festival, where vendors sell the finest woods and other components; and mini-concerts and demonstrations by select luthiers. Headline performances steps away at Utopia Soundstage (Todd Rundgren’s former studio) include sets by John Sebastian, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, Rory Block and Cindy Cashdollar, and others. A kickoff concert at Colony on October 25, the night before the

official start of the showcase, features the Martin Guitars-sponsored duo of Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer plus guests Mary Flower, Tony McManus, and Julia Toaspern. The crown-jewel live event is the October 27 String Sampler Concert at the Woodstock Playhouse, which stars Nashville’s rising, all-female roots quartet Della Mae; flamenco and Spanish classical virtuoso Maria Zemantauski and her Maria Z Ensemble; and fingerstyle champion Michael Chapdelaine, a student of Andres Segovia himself. An informal jam among lingering luthiers and attendees at the Landau Grill on Mill Hill Road the evening of October 28 traditionally ends the fest on a freewheeling note. But while the exceptional live music is part of WILS’s draw, of course it’s the instruments and their makers that remain the focus. And this year the focus of that focus, if you will, is on the women in the guitar world. Along with the abundance of female musicians mentioned above, the happening’s handpicked cast of featured instrument makers boasts a formidable list of lady luthiers that includes greats like Linda Manzer, Kathy Wingert, Joshia de Jonge, and others. This grouping is no accident, says Rorick. “I was at another guitar festival, last year, and it hit me how the scene there was kind of a boys’ club—too much testosterone,” the organizer recalls. “That got me thinking about the #MeToo movement, and then [Rorick’s production partner] Mark Heller and I started talking about what we could do to honor that. So, for this year we have 16 women luthiers booked, from all around the world.” Part of the themed program is a presentation by guitarist and author John Thomas on his book The Kalamazoo Gals, which chronicles the vital work and lives of the women who built Gibson’s nowcoveted “Banner” guitars during World War II.

“I’m really thrilled that [the festival’s organizers] decided to celebrate the women in our industry, because there’s so few of us,” says Linda Manzer, who lives in Canada and whose guitars are owned by Carlos Santana, Pat Metheny, Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, and other prominent players. “Being one of the very first, I remember a time when I was the only female guitar maker, and I am delighted that more and more women are entering the field. A hundred years ago, it would’ve been impossible for me to have this career. I’ve been to almost every show. Sometimes I just come all the way to the show even though I’m not showing guitars, just because it’s fun to be there. It’s a great hang. Plus, there’s oodles of amazing musicians wandering around.” Indeed: In 2017 Steve Miller, who’s purchased guitars from area maker Joe Veillette, surprised festivalgoers by dropping by for a jam. Two other signature facets of WILS are its yearly awards presentations, which recognize accomplished members of the field, and its daily charity raffles of musical gear, which benefit the local John Herald Fund and Family of Woodstock. “One of our goals with the showcase as we move forward is to is to do things that encompass the community more,” says Heller. “We want to be able to offer more public concerts and other free events.” “When you’re working with wood, trying to create a tool that creates musical magic, you have to be really honest with yourself to get a good result,” Manzer says. “And that usually means you’re a very grounded human being with a good sense of humor. Guitar makers are some of the finest human beings I’ve ever met.” TheWoodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase will take place at the Bearsville Theater/ Utopia Soundstage complex on October 26, 27, and 28.Woodstockinvitational.com. 10/18 CHRONOGRAM ARTS & CULTURE 69

PAUL RUDD WITH THE FESTIVAL STAFF

19th Annual Woodstock Film Festival A CELEBRATION OF YOUTH AND DIVERSITY IN FILM

he 19th annual Woodstock Film Festival kicks off October 10. This year’s five-day, fiercely independent slate includes nine world premieres, four North American premieres, one US premiere, 12 East Coast premieres, and eight New York premieres. “I remember the first year almost as if it was yesterday,” says Woodstock Film Festival Executive Director and co-founder Meira Blaustein. “I've been watching the evolution of the festival very closely. Every year had its own distinction. And I feel like this year, parts of the programs are juxtaposed in such a way that creates an interesting tapestry of not only today’s filmmaking, but also today’s society.” Youth in Film One element of that tapestry is youth. Some of the films that will be screened emerged from a festival-run summer workshop for young filmmakers in the area. “We have really wonderful works by teenage filmmakers. They are coming in from all over the country,” Blaustein says. “We also have a couple of films about young people taking charge of their lives and empowering themselves as well as others.” Somaliland and Personal Statement are documentaries about kids trying to improve their lives against socioeconomic odds and attend college in the United States.The latter takes place in NewYork City, the former in Somalia.The makers of both films and their subjects are expected to attend the festival. A panel called The Power ofYouth, scheduled for Sunday, October 14, at the Kleinert/ 70 ARTS & CULTURE CHRONOGRAM 10/18

James Center for the Arts, will include people involved with both films. “It’s all going to be about the young generation and how they’re taking their lives in their own hands and changing the trajectory of their lives and those around them,” said Blaustein. “These people are our hope.” Issues in the News is another event centered around youth. Following a screening of Lessons from a School Shooting: Notes from Dunblane at the Woodstock Playhouse on Saturday, October 13, the panel will feature filmmakers, dignitaries, and activists from Newtown, Connecticut, the site of the deadliest school shooting in US history. Clips from director Kim Snyder’s forthcoming documentary about the school shooting last year in Parkland, Florida, will also be shown for the first time. “I think that’s going to be quite special. Not easy to watch, but very important and moving,” Blaustein says. “If you take all of that together, you can see that there is a real power of youth presence in the film festival. I'm proud of that.” Diversity of Programming The festival will also include a three-film series called Filmmakers of Color, programmed by Roger Ross Williams, the first African-American director to win an Academy Award, for his 2010 documentary Music By Prudence. The documentaries Williams selected are Hale County This Morning,This Evening; Mr. SOUL!; and Shakedown. “I’m really happy that this year we have more diversity than ever before,” Blaustein says. The festival will feature its highest number of films by filmmakers of color to date, all of whom will be in attendance. The festival will

also screen 21 films directed by women, most of whom will be present. “I’m proud that we can play a substantive role in bridging the gender gap in film and entertainment,” Blaustein says. “Every day it seems more important. The more you bridge the gap, the more you see how large the gap still is. We’re committed to doing our part.” There will also be live musical performances accompanying a handful of documentaries, including the festival’s kickoff event, which will see the Karl Berger Band perform at the Woodstock Playhouse on Wednesday, October 10, following a screening of the biopic Karl Berger—Music Mind. Also at the Woodstock Playhouse, musician and activist Michael Franti will play an acoustic set on Friday, October 12, after a screening of Stay Human, a documentary he both directed and starred in. When asked what has kept the Woodstock Film Festival vibrant and independent over nearly two decades, Blaustein responds, “Part of it has a lot to do with the locale—small towns, small venues that lend themselves to this downhome kind of environment.” She adds, “Part of it is just who we are. We are friendly, casual people who really love film and have a very deep understanding and knowledge of it. And we work very hard to make it happen.” The 2018Woodstock Film Festival runs October 10-14. For the full schedule, including information on Maverick Award recipient Julie Taymor and Matthew Heineman, winner of the Filmmaker Award of Distinction, can be found atWoodstockfilmfestival.org.

ADVANCE BASE/GIA MARGARET October 2. Chicago singer-songwriter Owen Ashworth has been making his idiosyncratic style of forlorn minimal wave pop since 1997, first as Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and, since 2010, as Advance Base. With Ashworth completely solo and accompanying himself on electric piano, organ, samplers, and synths, Advance Base trades in torchy tunes that tell of sad scenes of broken hearts and desperate dreams. Also blowing in from Chicago for this atmospheric evening at BSP Kingston is Gia Margaret, who, quite accurately, calls her breathy brand of somnambulistic songs “sleep rock.” Her 2018 debut, There’s Always Glimmer, hovers somewhere between the Cocteau Twins and Mazzy Star.

To date, the foundation, which serves Ulster, Dutchess, Putnam, Delaware, Orange, Rockland, Sullivan, and Westchester counties, has granted the wishes of more than 2,600 area children with critical illnesses.

VIJAY IYER AND TEJU COLE PRESENT “BLIND SPOT” October 26. Bard College’s Fisher Center welcomes celebrated jazz composer and pianist Vijay Iyer and Nigerian American writer and photographer Teju Cole, a Bard faculty member, for “Blind Spot,” a collaboration combining music, words, and visual elements. Born in Albany, Iyer, in addition to leading his own bands and releasing acclaimed albums, is well-prepared for the task, having previously worked with other spoken word artists (2013’s Holding it Down: The Veterans’ Dream Project with Mike Ladd) and on film scores (2014’s soundtrack for Radhe Radhe: Rites of Holi). Based on Cole’s recently published book of the same name, “Blind Spot”

Annandaleon-Hudson. (845) 758-7900; Fishercenter.bard.edu.

THE WAILERS October 28. The seminal backing band of the man who took reggae from Trenchtown in (the other) Kingston to the global stage, the late legend Bob Marley, the Wailers continue to fulfill his dying wish to keep his music alive by performing it. These days, the group is led by original bassist Aston “Familyman” Barrett and includes his son, Aston Barrett, Jr., on drums; Exodus/Survival/Uprising-era guitarist Junior Marvin; Chicago-born blues guitarist Donald Kinsey; and singer Shema McGregor, daughter of famed singer-producer Freddie McGregor and original I-Threes vocalist Judy Mowatt. In a move that’s perhaps bewildering to some, the band, who come to stir it up at Colony in reggae-rabid Woodstock this month, recently backed hitmaker Kenny Chesney on “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven,” a number one US country hit. But, hey, music knows no boundaries. And it won’t be nothing but a punky reggae party when they hit our neck of the woods. (The Big Takeover brings more roots riddims October 5; Maria Mulduar makes her return October 14.) 7pm. $35-$60. Woodstock. (845) 679-7625; Colonywoodstock.com.

TUNE-YARDS/U.S. GIRLS October 30. It’s hard to think of a more perfect pairing than this one, which brings together two label mates and fellow solo-indie/electronica-artists-trading-as-“bands” at Mass MoCA: Tune-Yards and U.S. Girls. Besides sharing space on the roster of the influential imprint 4AD Records and a mainly minimalist, loop-driven base, both have a similarly skewed, lo-fi approach to contemporary pop. Tune-Yards, the project of songwriter/beat maker Merrill Garbus, broke through via the 2009 debut Bird Brains; the act’s fourth and latest album is this year’s i can feel you creep into my private life. Twenty-eighteen’s In a Poem Unlimited, the ninth album by U.S. Girls AKA Meg Remy, finds her expanding her sound well beyond the sparse Suicide spell of her earlier works.

CD REVIEWS

ROCKET NUMBER NINE RECORDS

(SUBFAMILY RECORDS)

Frank McGiniss (formerly the eponymous Frankie of Hudson Valley wunderkinds Frankie and His Fingers), brings a highly realized, mature, and ambitious debut from his new project, American Film History, into the world.The production nods on the disc’s nine songs are a marriage of Tunnel of Love-era Springsteen and the newest Father John Misty effort: a vibe of “What’s old is new and what’s new is old” permeates the arrangement choices. As if to wage war with his own album’s title, McGuiness is neck deep in lyrical existential dread, which will be quite relatable to anyone on the other side of 30 years old and in a creative endeavor in the year 2018. While peppy and poppy, the songs weigh heavy with dread and despair, though that heaviness is often delivered with a bit of a wink and a smirk. If you can make a listener tap their foot while simultaneously questioning their own life choices, I say you’ve succeeded at creating a resonant piece of material. All that aside, the clear focus here is McGuinness’s voice: an instrument so impressive, and performed with such control, it can within seconds go from the lilting head voice of the Weakerthans, John K. Samson, to the diaphragm belt of Harry Nilsson at the very top of his register. The album somehow manages to be anthemic all the way through, concluding with a nearly two-minute long, ripping saxophone solo that, keeping with the Springsteen theme, would have made Clarence Clemons proud.

BOBBY PREVITE RHAPSODY (RARENOISE RECORDS)

One of the great joys of being tasked with writing record reviews is discovering new music you may not have found on your own. Hudson-area percussionist Bobby Previte’s new disc, Rhapsody—chapter two in a planned trilogy of “travel” albums—is, quite simply, an amazing journey. I can’t stop playing this record. It’s an all-star acoustic outing featuring contributions by Nels Cline, John Medeski, Zeena Parkins, Jen Shyu, and Fabian Rucker, and featuring Previte’s first work as a lyricist. Rhapsody flashes on Dagmar Krause-era Henry Cow, largely due to Shyu’s exquisite vocalizing; David Cross-era King Crimson, due to Shyu’s erhu and Previte’s penchant for Fripp-like ostinatos from any number of instruments; and Alice Coltrane’s more filigreed work, thanks to Parkins’s mastery of the harp. But really Rhapsodyis its own brilliant, obsessive, and, as I said, amazing thing. I can’t stop playing this record. Rarenoiserecords.com. —Michael Eck GEEZER PSYCHORIFFADELIA (KOZMIK ARTIFACTZ RECORDS/STB RECORDS)

Kingston stoner/doom/heavy psych trio Geezer—leader Pat Harrington (guitar/vocals), Richie Touseull (bass), and Charles Ruggiero (drums)—are adept at cranking up the volume to 11 and putting the blues through the proverbial fuzztone meat grinder. This five-track EP opens with a savage cover of the Nazareth staple “Hair of the Dog” that more than matches the original in fire and guts. “Stressknots” alternates between hushed verses and heavy riffage. Contrastingly, the title track is a largely spacey instrumental. However, the trio really distinguishes itself on the final two cuts, when it plays fast and loose with song structure. Closer “Dirty Penny” opens with a lurching hard rock groove, leaving the stratosphere around the five-minute mark, when Harrington’s otherworldly, effects-laden solos battle it out with the rhythm section to create some transcendent music, treading into the place where fuzzedout blues meets space funk.

The finest picture books offer a subtle, loving message, and this one by a Coxsackie resident and Caldecott Honor winner is no exception. Beginning simply with images of black and white cats, animal complexity builds with each page turn: a tiger’s spots, a whale’s size, an octopus’s tentacles. The final spread shows a menagerie, plus children, one fair and one brown, and an exhortation: “A world to see, a world to know. Where to begin? Hello, hello.” —SK

AMERICA BORDER CULTURE DREAMER: THE YOUNG IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE FROM A TO Z WENDY EWALD LITTLE BROWN, 2018, $18.99

It’s hard to imagine a timelier project than this collaboration between acclaimed photographer and Red Hook resident Wendy Ewald and 18 immigrant teens. A reinvention of A-Z primers, it was created by the students themselves, who selected words representing their varied experiences. With Ewald’s guidance, they chose interview questions, set up photographs, and designed layouts. Key words appear in 74 BOOKS CHRONOGRAM 10/18

The interviews are urgent and unvarnished. “We came from countries where the people also thought that what happens doesn’t affect me until it was too late,” offers Xuen from Vietnam. Uzbekistan-born Malika says simply, “I want people to be more kind.” Listen and learn. —NS

BUTTERFLY WISHES 4: SPRING SHINE SPARKLES JENNIFER CASTLE BLOOMSBURY, 2018, $16.99

New Paltz author Castle takes a break from writing masterful novels of young-adult angst by creating a middle-grade series of pure sparkly fun. Sisters Addie and Clara recently moved to rural Brook Forest, where they’re amazed to discover their wild backyard hosts a secret world of talking butterflies, including some just-hatched “New Blooms” whose magical powers are under attack. In this, the series’ fourth book, rainbow-winged Spring Shine can’t see her true colors until she gives a transformative boost to a needy girl’s self-esteem. Though the climactic action is dense with jargon, Castle’s characters—human and insect—are so well-drawn that we never lose sight of what’s really at stake. Come for the glitter, stay for the empowerment. —NS

FINDING LANGSTON LESA CLINE-RANSOME HOLIDAY HOUSE, 2018, $16.99

Celebrated Rhinebeck picture book author Lesa Cline-Ransome leaps into middle-grade fiction with this powerful tale of a motherless boy torn from his Alabama roots when his taciturn father moves north in the Great Migration. Isolated and homesick, Langston finds salvation when a headlong flight from schoolyard bullies leads him to the library. Unlike the whitesonly libraries in Alabama, the historic George Cleveland Hall Branch of the Chicago Public Library is staffed by black librarians and open to everyone. Its shelves house magnetic works by Langston’s namesake, Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes, and other luminaries. Young Langston’s palpable thirst for poetry is both a moving salvation and a guilty secret, until he bonds with some unforeseen kindred spirits. Slender and taut, Finding Langston packs an emotional wallop. —NS

A ROOM AWAY FROM THE WOLVES NOVA REN SUMA ALGONQUIN, 2018, $18.95

How can we help ourselves? How do we hurt ourselves? And why do we carry so much painful emotional baggage? When a teen with a penchant for theft and lying is beaten by her stepsisters at a party, she finds sanctuary at a women’s boardinghouse in New York City, where her mother once stayed. Bina’s fled here to start over, but Catherine House is loaded with strange rules, bizarre mysteries, and the hovering presence of the house’s namesake, who, as a teen 100 years before, plunged from the roof. Why is the only girl who talks to her so mysterious and defiant? Why can’t her mother seem to hear her on the phone? And why won’t Bina’s bruises heal? This haunted and haunting tale in the Gothic style is by a best-selling Woodstockraised author. —SK

BACK FROM THE BRINK: SAVING ANIMALS FROM EXTINCTION NANCY F. CASTALDO ALGONQUIN YOUNG READERS, 2018, $17.99

Harsh news about the state of the natural world abounds, but there is good news as well, and this book uses an engaging mix of science, history, and photography to offer an introduction to the movement to save endangered wild animals. Castaldo pulls no punches, because the stakes are very high: Bald eagles, whooping cranes, and Galapagos tortoises are off the list now, but ongoing political, scientific, and educational efforts are needed to keep them there. “In the end,” a Senegalese forestry engineer named Baba Dioum once stated, “we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught.” So despair not: There are actions we can all take to save animal life, and giving this book to children is one of them. —SK

LETTER TO A TIMID MAN

BRONCHITIS ON THE SET OF “NEW GIRL”

Two weeks after the hospital, picking Draper blueberries, the short bushes are fullest.

No deference to age, just a long sidewalk gently sloping, leading to a place where the grass grows and wind rages. Whether you observe the customs of your time,

Nearly midnight and I down Dayquil, my orange savior. True: I shouldn’t be

or remain a rebel, whether your last gasp has left your wilted lungs, or you have yet to step off the curb, take my advice. Every day begins with another dance.

I cannot afford to not work. I was stuck in I-405 rush hour of people

Grandma Brown used to say, You gotta bend it back and get right in there like this. Amidst broken hearts and blindness, another grandmother nursed her dying daughter. I was the one to phone my father with news of his father’s death. He’d been in a good mood—Hey, boy!—then speechless against the loading ramp’s plangent wash. These are not the natural orders of things. Beyond the field’s far corner, the Bacon Hill Reformed Church is ringing. —Andy Fogle

HOW YOU KNEW he’s touching me but I’m touching you and all I want to do is keep touching you I want to feel you under my skin I want to tear you to pieces I want him out of me and up the stairs this is our time he’s overstayed his welcome and I’m focused on you but he keeps trying to grab my attention my attention is on you you can have all of me you want all of me so much and I love it I love you and everything about you and I never want to stop keep going forever I want you all over me you want me so bad and I love that you’re young and in love because it makes this so much more intense we are more intimate than anyone else tell me everything about you I want to swallow you whole and feel you inside of me I want your kisses all over me and your hands squeezing me don’t stop you’re perfect perfect for me —Katherine Moore

I HOPE NOBODY AIN’T ROB ME! Ima little pissed that I keep losing shit I lost my headphones twice I never know where I placed my keys I be like “I know I put them in my goddamn bag, I hope nobody ain’t rob me!” But, I’m always losing shit! I’m good with holding other people shit but when it comes to me… I gotta be extra careful because I lose things like childhood Like childhood, I hope nobody ain’t rob me. —Lester Mayers 76 POETRY CHRONOGRAM 10/18

Take love where you find it. Be mad about it; Be ready for success and accepting of dismissal. What is given to you is only yours when it is given. And when your time has passed; take your cane and cudgel, swing them both with vengeance, rather than slide beneath the fence. break the wall through to the other side. If the stem is a fuse, light it!

She was telling us the story of the time you got your head kicked in playing soccer during fourth grade recess. And while everyone was laughing, wrapped in the quilted comfort of health and years, about the step stool you needed to stand on so you could be seen in concerts and recitals, I was looking at you as a friend for the last time trying to remember what I was doing, just across the river, the week you spent home from school coloring on construction paper because the doctors said you weren’t allowed to watch TV —David Lukas

THE GREAT SOUTH BAY

WORD LIST/WORD LOSS

I took a walk on the Great South Bay where seagulls pray to the Lord of Water every day for fish to eat.

Difficult, desultory, intractable Words found on an old scrap of paper in my mother’s script, a list I would not have understood five years ago. Now I do, No, I, too, write down words I know, like topiary, which I recall as tortured trees, until I dig up their correct name, topiary. One friend loses ostensible and hospice. Another has a daily list, vigilant in vocabulary as well as eyesight, hearing, mobility. And youth. Now, I do. Now, I, too. Lacking confidence, unfocused, stubborn

I planted my feet and stood stock still by the Great South Bay where seagulls pray. When suddenly I disappeared and re-emerged as fish and sea and clouds and sky and birds that pray on the Great South Bay. —Tina Hazarian

on your move to heaven. Sweep the rooms of your farmhouse clean. Turn the key in the lock. At the front gate cross your arms over your breast.

NOSH IN NATURE

TROTWOOD AT GLEN FALLS HOUSE By Marie Doyon

Family-style chicken for four at Trotwood.

ucked in the heart of the Catskills, Greene County is a lush sleepy oasis, and one of last holdouts of Upstate resort culture. While the Borscht Belt resorts of Sullivan and Orange counties all perished in the ’70s and ‘80s, their northeastern counterparts have quietly survived, ticking over year to year thanks to a steadfast core of veteran vacationers. In the hamlet of Round Top alone, there are four resorts in a one-mile radius. The most iconic of these is perhaps the Glen Falls House, which has been in continuous operation since the late 19th century. In its 137-year history, the property has changed hands multiple times, undergoing several expansions in the ’60s during the waning golden days of the Catskills resorts. Most recently, in May 2017, Glen Falls House was bought by two brighteyed entrepreneurs armed with a vision and backed by a group of private investors. Ex-punk rocker Greg Brier is owner/operator of Greenpoint’s effortlessly cool nightclub The Good Room, while Jonathan Picco hails from Montauk’s trendy hotel-on-top, venue-on-bottom—The Surf Lodge. Between them they have 25 years of experience in hospitality (though Picco is a mere 30). For the two years before they bought Glen Falls House, Picco spent every free weekend scouring the New York countryside for the right property. “Our goal was really to find a place with a historical connection and enough capacity to grow into,” Picco says. “Along with really incredible access to nature—and the freedom to make a lot of noise and a lot of mess.” Glen Falls checked all the boxes. With 42 rooms and 47 acres, there is definitely room to expand. And it has a storied legacy of hospitality. “It was already established,” Picco says. “It just needed someone to reformat it for our generation.”

demoed this whole house and put it back together in 45 days with a skeleton crew of six people. It’s been more elbow grease than anything—and a lot of great will from neighbors.” The proprietors collaborated with ecological design studio Nocturnal Medicine to revive and modernize the rooms with a clean, fresh vibe, which includes accents of whimsical art and found natural objects from the property. “We are working really hard to preserve a lot of the traditional elements, but also put our personality into the space and draw a younger crowd,” Picco says.

Elbow Grease and Good Will The property spreads out from the Main House—an impressive three-story Colonial farmhouse built in 1881. This building has been fully renovated to include a reception desk, 17 guest rooms, and the restaurant. Two other motel buildings offer 25 more rooms. When Picco and Brier bought the place, the decor was a Millennial’s nightmare of wall-to-wall carpet and drop ceiling tiles with fluorescent lights. Stripping all this away, they uncovered the original wooden ceiling joists from 1881. “We definitely found a fixer-upper at a good price,” Picco says. “We

A Wooded Wonderland Glen Falls House encompasses nearly 50 acres of woodlands, which are prime picking for foragers and mushroom hunters. Two creeks border the property forming two epic waterfalls—the namesake falls and Icebox Falls. The forest is also laced with miles of mountain biking trails that connect six area resorts. Soon Glen Falls House will have bikes for guests and public rental. “Glen Falls House not really about the luxury of a hotel room. We removed all the televisions,” Picco says. “It’s more about connecting with each other, being out in the woods, going on a hike, jumping in a freezing cold waterfall.”

Poolside Reverie The property’s original horse barn, across the street from the Main House was long ago turned into a no-frills Catskills tavern—linoleum floors, woodpanelled walls studded with beer advertisements, a pool table. “We’re not going to change the vibe in the tavern,” Picco says, “This whole floor should be covered in peanut shells.” The Glen Falls staff is a mix of creatives—visual artists, musicians, performers of all stripes, giving a definite artistic undertone to the resort’s vibe. In summer 2017, the tavern hosted a 16-concert music series, with performers ranging from Paul Collins of The Nerves to Bloodshot Bill, many of them friends of the staff. Twelve of the shows were recorded (the inaugural Glen Falls mixtape is forthcoming). Behind the tavern, a lush lawn is decked out with badminton net and a fire pit, where guests gather and roast s’mores nightly. Adjacent, the pool is a major attraction in summer. A nearby renovated camper serves as the tiki bar. As part of their effort to connect with the local community, the pool pool (and tavern) is open to the public.

Behind the tavern, a large lawn includes a fire pit, badminton court, pool, and trailer bar.

Nuptials in Nature For some, the emphasis on nature will be off-putting, but for others it makes Glen Falls House a paradise. Given the edenic grounds and the abundance of lodging, this resort is also a prime wedding destination. The highest tier is a full property buyout for two to four days, including a tent rental, the smallest is a one night Vegas-style tavern takeover (complete with an Elvis impersonator as the officiant). The venue is ideal for larger parties: 150- to 300-person events. “We plan on having a lot of different group events throughout the wedding weekends—hikes, workshops, painting classes,” Picco says. At capacity, Glen Falls House can sleep 110 guests, and more in tent camping, which is coming soon. “The overflow to resorts around us benefits the whole community. There are plenty of beds in the neighborhood for people to stay,” Picco says. Trotwood: A Year-Round Dining Destination This is the first year Glen Falls House will be open year-round. A hundred miles north of NewYork, and 30 minutes from both Hunter and Windham mountains, the summer resort is primed to make the transition to ski lodge. “That’s a new season for us, so we really need to establish ourselves as a winter destination,” Picco says. A huge part of this effort is directed at the restaurant, which has new life under head chef Chrissy Michaels. Though she has no formal training, both Michaels’ parents were chefs, and she grew up cooking classic Italian dishes. She spent 13 years in NewYork City restaurant industry, earning her stripes at places like Saraghina and Pizza Moto before moving Upstate. Before Glen Falls, she was the head chef at Westwind Orchard in Accord for two years. “I’ve been working with fire as a pizza chef for most of my cooking career. I love it,” Michaels says. “But being here is great because it gets me onto plates.” Her self-described cooking style is “farm-to-table American comfort food,” though the classic Mediterranean flavors of her childhood sneak in. “I make the best food when I have the best quality ingredients,” she says. “So, I use as many local producers as possible.” In Greene County alone, she sources directly from Lime Kiln Farm in West Coxsackie, Bulich Creekside Farm in Leeds, and Stoneledge in South Cairo. Farther upstate, she gets cheese curd from Palantine Valley Dairy, which she uses to make American cheese. The seasonally-driven menu includes adventurous twists on classic dishes like the Peaches & Green, a tangy dish with kale, honey-glazed peaches, spiced

The pool, tavern, and restaurant are open to the public on weekends.

almonds, and Lime Kiln goat feta ($12), or the Chicken Sandwich, a buttermilkfried, pasture-raised chicken thigh with slaw, pickled peppers, and house-made American cheese ($14). Dishes sometimes come to Michaels in dreams (literally), while other times they are improvisations based on the produce, like the tomato toast ($10). When she picked up a pound of hard but sweet peaches from a local farm, Michaels started experimenting, adding soft, ripe tomatoes to complement the crunch. Then to balance, she added garlic, then maple syrup, then mint, and suddenly it was so juicy that she decided to serve it with fresh focaccia for sopping up the sauce. Trotwood, which is open to the public, offers two mains under $15 and, on Thursdays and Sundays, a rotating $14 Blue Plate special, featuring favorites like meatloaf, shepherd’s pie, and mac ‘n’ cheese. “The restaurant is resonating really well with the local community,” Brier says. “We have repeat customers who are here not one but three or four times a week. They go straight for what’s new, like a bullseye.” The daytime menu features lighter breakfast and lunch fare like the Salmon Toast ($12) and the Mezze Plate, with hummus, cucumber tomato salad, olive tapenade, and toasted pita ($12). “The food and where it’s sourced is really important to us,” Picco says. “We’re really proud of this program.” Forging Ahead While the resort only opened for their second summer season on July 2, it’s off to the races. A swirling vortex of possibility, under its new owners, the Glen Falls house offers a saturated sensory experience. Just as likely to be the site of someone’s a back-to-nature baptism as a raging midnight party, the resort blends genuine hospitality, an unapologetic love of fun, and a reverence for the natural world. “People hold this property close, and we take that very seriously,” says Brier. “I always say, ‘If you want to shop and vacation, go to the Hamptons; to really live, come to the Catskills.’” Trotwood at Glen Falls House 230 Winter Clove Road, Round Top Restaurant is open Thursday–Sunday.

THE ABC’S OF

ANGER MANAGEMENT THIS EXPERT’S FIVE-SESSION PROGRAM CAN TAKE THE BITE OUT OF ANGER. by wendy k agan

avid Haviland would like us all to simmer down. The Cold Spring– based psychotherapist runs a five-session anger management program that includes many court-mandated clients, as well as people who voluntarily come to get a handle on their hot-headed tendencies. Haviland designed the psychoeducational program himself to be brief, to the point, and effective, and he’s seen it help many people for about eight years now. I connected with him recently to talk about his treatment approach as well as how it relates to current phenomena like angry politics and the rash of school shootings. You can learn more about Haviland at angermanagementamerica.com, and await his book-in-progress, Angry Like Me: 7Ways To BeatYour Anger Habit, NotYour Neighbor. 86 WHOLE LIVING CHRONOGRAM 10/18

Just about everyone has wrestled with anger at some time or another. Who comes to you for help? David Haviland: I’ve had everybody from police officers to parents arguing in family court. To give you an idea of the range of people, I had a guy sent to me who had been in prison for armed robbery, and he was sitting there working with me when a police car came flying into the parking lot. He jumped up and said, “Who told the cops I’m here?” I said, “Relax, he’s my 4 o’clock.” I get people from all walks of life. Judges, attorneys, and social services organizations from both sides of the Hudson River send folks to me, and many non-mandated folks are also coming on their own. And I tell people, you know what, “there but for the grace of God,” as my mother used to say, because many of us get to that point. The American Psychiatric Association calls anger a typical human emotion; it’s part of being a human being, and it comes in many forms. I describe it like an invisible gas: Many of us have a trigger inside us somewhere, but if you’re not mindful of the trigger and you don’t have a plan to deal with it, you might end up with an explosion. One of the interesting things about my particular program is that I have serious anger issues of my own, and I immediately share that fact with my participants. So when people come to me for the first time, whether it’s singly or in a group of two or three, I typically start by saying, “I’m going to show you where I stand on the anger management scale.” Because I want them to be able to bond with me. They can learn from the problems I have struggled with and realize they are not alone in all of this.The hope is that if they can see how I have handled my anger issues, maybe they can, too. How can we begin to manage our anger? First, it requires a commitment on the part of the participant to want to control his or her anger. Once that choice has been made, the first key is being mindful of what specifically triggers us to become angry and preparing ourselves mentally to avoid those minefields where we will likely suffer consequences—like losing a job, going through the breakup of a relationship, even going to jail. One thing I tell people is, “Don’t put yourself in harm’s way.” So for example, if you know that road rage is an issue, and you know that when you drive up Route 9 people are going to cut you off, why put yourself in that situation? You can go up 9D to Poughkeepsie instead and hardly see any traffic. Don’t go where you know you’re going to be triggered—there might be ways to avoid it. So that’s one of the things that we do. We also put our anger on a scale from one to ten. It’s okay to be angry within the one-to-nine range, but once we hit ten, that puts you on the brink of physical or verbal aggression, which will likely have consequences. I share with people that my own personal trigger is my impatience. Growing up as one of 11 children, I used to watch the meatloaf platter move slowly around the table, wondering if there’d be anything left by the time it got to me. Not a big patience builder! Waiting in line behind three or four siblings to use the bathroom didn’t help build patience either. So I know the situations that are going to trigger me.When you know what your triggers are, that’s a key part of it. So much anger is impulsive, in the heat of the moment. How can we short-circuit that? I have an important session in my program on cognitive restructuring, which is just a fancy way of saying “changing the way we look at things.” For this, I use something called the ABCD model, which was created by the psychotherapist Albert Ellis. ‘A’ stands for activating event, ‘B’ for belief, ‘C’ for consequences, and ‘D’ for dispute. Back to the road rage example, maybe someone cutting you off is the activating event.Your belief might be, “Oh that son of a gun (or worse expletives), how dare he do that to me.” Next, consequences: Our blood pressure goes up, we chase the person, and we may get into an altercation where we end up getting arrested. But before that happens, we can dispute the belief that might get us into trouble. Maybe the person who cut you off has a family member in an accident and is racing to the hospital, or it’s a firefighter racing to a fire. So we say, “You know what, I’m going to give this person the benefit of the doubt.” I call it turning the kaleidoscope: We look at the activating event from a different perspective, our belief changes, and instead of getting very angry, we perhaps get just mildly so. Maybe we hit a three or a four on that ten-point meter, and then we’re able to get on with our day. So many times we are judge, jury, and executioner. One man’s activating event is when he comes home from work every day, his two sons, 8 and 10 years old, are fighting, and there’s no food on the table. His wife is upstairs in

bed watching an afternoon soap. His belief is that he’s worked all day, and she isn’t doing anything. He says, “What the hell are you doing lying in bed? The kids are fighting downstairs.” The consequence is a big, blow-up fight. She’s crying, the kids are crying, the whole night is ruined.Turning the kaleidoscope, it turned out in that particular case that his wife had trouble walking down the stairs because she had the beginning signs of multiple sclerosis. And he thought, holy crap. It wasn’t what he thought. Anger often comes from feeling powerless. How can we keep our power without losing our cool? The last session I do helps with that—it’s based on assertiveness. Oftentimes, people confuse assertiveness with aggression. But physical or verbal aggression is typically not going to get you where you want to go. Assertiveness is a tool; it’s speaking up or standing up for yourself in a firm but respectful manner. I give the example of a carpenter who’s just been given news that he’s going to be cut $5 an hour. And he’s got various options as to how he’s going to react to that news. One option would be to say to the contractor, “I really don’t want to leave. I can’t take a $5 an hour cut, but would you be willing to look at other options, like getting part of our wood from Home Depot instead of from the supplier that we’re currently using, and save the money there?” It’s that sort of thinking, versus going down to his office, pulling out a hammer and pounding the desk, saying, “Now do I have your attention?” Is it my imagination, or do people seem angrier these days? I think so, yes.Why? Because there is permission for all of us to be angry, and to act on it toward one another every day.That permission comes from the highest office in the land. And it doesn’t matter what side of the political aisle you’re on—the fact is that you have a dually elected Chief Executive who ridicules the disabled, objectifies and sexualizes women, sides with foreign dictators against his own government, separates children from their parents, and divides blacks, whites, and Hispanics. Then you don’t have to worry about the consequences of hatred and the anger that fuels it. So you see the surge in the Nazi behavior, the desecration of grave sites, attacks on immigrants. That scene [during the Republican presidential primaries] of Trump telling a disabled reporter to stop shaking and maybe he’ll answer his question—that sort of thing gives permission to people who have anger inside them to express it. I think it gives a voice to those who feel, “You know what, I’ve stifled my anger my whole life. It’s okay to let it out now.” Where does anger come from, at the root? With so many people, the issue is primarily childhood trauma. And when I say trauma, I’m not talking specifically about sexual abuse. I’m talking about children growing up in homes where parents tell them to shut up, don’t encourage them, blame them, make them feel bad. Alice Miller, who has written many books on childhood trauma, talks about the different situations where children grow up so fearful of losing their parents’ love, let alone voicing their anger against their parents. They stifle it, and it stays deep inside their soul. And then when they grow older, when they see things that remind them of the fact that they were disrespected, or that somebody didn’t do something positive for them, or when somebody criticizes them, they lash out. And this is, I think, what is happening with whole generations. I see many people with anger issues who often fail to relate their problem back to childhood issues. I was looking at the case of Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber. When I looked into his past—and this is not an excuse, but an explanation—they talked about how kids used to call him Noodle McVeigh; they used to hold him upside down over a toilet and torture him. Today we have school shootings. In these events where a child is bullied, or feels isolated and alone and sees no help coming, these are the kinds of tragedies that ultimately come down the pipe. So it seems to me that anger management has to start at an even younger age. It has to start in the schools, and most importantly in the home. Rather than suppressing anger, which can have health consequences, we need to talk about our issues, either in therapy or with someone we’re close to, a spouse, friend, or family member. I also teach people the power of meditation, which helps to quiet the mind, increase insight, and build awareness to help solve and relieve inner pain. In the end, I’m a great believer in love, and the positive approach of giving love and support to other people. 10/18 CHRONOGRAM WHOLE LIVING 87

EVENT PREVIEWS & LISTINGS FOR OCTOBER 2018

A scene from Moved by the Motion’s Sudden Rise, a collaboration between Wu Tsang, boychild, Patrick Belaga, Josh Johnson, Asma Maroof, and Fred Moten that will be perfomred this month at EMPAC.

Future Days It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the opening of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s state-of-the-art Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center—better known as EMPAC. This month, to mark the sleek, futuristic, multi-venue center’s first decade, the facility will present 10YEARS, a three-day, interdisciplinary celebration of time-based music, dance, visual art, theater, and installations. The featured artists and works include the Formosa Quartet; “Moved by the Motion,” a collaboration by Wu Tsang, boychild, Patrick Belaga, Josh Johnson, and Asma Maroof; Trajal Harrell; Maria Hassabi; Olga Neuwirth and the International Contemporary Ensemble performing selections from Neuwirth’s opera Lost Highway Suite (based on David Lynch’s film Lost Highway); and more. Also set is a talk about the ethics of time-based art in the digital age by EMPAC director Johannes Goebel, who answered the questions below via email. The 10YEARS festival will take place at EMPAC in Troy on October 11, 12, and 13. Empac.rpi.edu. —Peter Aaron Congratulations on EMPAC’s 10th anniversary! As its director, what feelings come up for you personally when you consider this milestone? “Ten years” is an arbitrary time span. If we had a different mathematical system, like “base 12,” we would wait for another two years. Having been hired to contribute to building EMPAC in the literal sense as well as in its programming and production potential, has been

incredible. Incredible, in that I was entrusted with doing it—and incredible in looking at the building and the program. I still go through the building, sit in one of the venues or get surprised by a new project as if I had nothing to do with all this, like being a visitor looking at it for the first time. When we spoke in January 2009 about the opening of the center, you talked about the design effort, saying, “Some people might ask why it’s so important to put so much money and effort into something like getting the acoustics to be as perfect as they can be and doing whatever we can do to make the spaces as silent as scientifically possible. To them I would say that they should step back and take a look at the world, to consider just how much noise there is in it, and to think about how distracting that can be.” Clearly, the world has gotten noisier since then. Has EMPAC, in turn, gotten more silent? If so, how has this been achieved? Well, EMPAC did not get only more silent, but also full of life, with jumping and moving, sounds and images, with technology and without. Indeed, once a building is “delivered,” it still takes years to actually finish all details. As far as silence goes, we accomplished a much more silent silence than we had planned for. The real goal for EMPAC has been reached: four venues, where each one serves, simultaneously, seeing, hearing, and using the whole volume of the space for whatever you want to put or do wherever in the venue, in the greatest possible quality.

This quality is defined by the full range of sensitivity of our senses. And from there we are invited to make sense from what we experience. In what other ways has EMPAC changed over the last decade? The members of the curatorial team have changed, as certainly have other members of the team. And as the curators individually and as a group take the responsibility of shaping the program and select the artists in residence and their projects, the emphasis each one develops and again changes over their own tenures, creates the landscape of EMPAC’s programming. My own perspectives come into play when a new curator is hired. And from there on, it’s all in the constant exchange between individual focus and collaboration, analysis and critique. Our production teams (stage technologies, video, audio, IT) have gained an incredible experience in operating the building and putting everything to work and expanding into new areas. For example, they gained experience in 3-D film shoots or spatial audio systems, which offer many more experiences than stereo or surround sound. In what ways, technically and/or idealistically, do you see EMPAC evolving in the future? There is no future without presence. Actually, we never reach the future. 10/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 91

ART "EACH DAY WATER: A MONUMENT FOR THE PROTECTORS OF STANDING ROCK AND BEYOND"

Benjamin Loyseau Elizabeth Phelps Meyer collecting water at the Cannonball River at the site of the Rosebud Prayer Camp. Her work is on display at Art Centro this month.

Protecting the Protectors “I never thought I would make political art. Never!” remarks Elizabeth Phelps Meyer. But her new show, “Each Day, Water: A Monument for the Water Protectors of Standing Rock and Beyond,” at Art Centro Gallery in Poughkeepsie, tells another story. The exhibit opens October 2. Life changed for Meyer in 2016 when she saw a photo of army tanks aiming at Sioux teepees in North Dakota. Native American protesters at Standing Rock Indian Reservation were confronting the Dakota Access Pipeline, which was prepared to cross the Missouri River. “For me, Standing Rock was an awakening. I saw those tanks pointed at those teepees, and I said, ‘I can’t believe this is still happening!’” Meyer recalls. Four days after Donald Trump took office, he approved the Dakota pipeline, and on February 23, 2017, the last protesters were cleared from the Standing Rock encampment. But the “water protectors” movement continues, led by Native Americans throughout our continent. Currently, Louisiana activists are staging tree sit-ins to protest the Bayou Bridge pipeline. Meyer made a pilgrimage to North Dakota in July to extract water from the Missouri River and the Cannonball River. LaDonna Tamakawastewin Allard, one of the founders of the Standing Rock encampment, told Meyer: “Your art will help heal your own river”— meaning the Hudson. The artist also gathered water from the Hudson’s headwaters, and from Henderson Lake in the Adirondacks. “Each Day, Water” is an installation of 365 wood-fired porcelain vessels created by Meyer in the last two years. Mounted on the wall are cups bearing water the artist gathered. Visitors to the gallery are invited to bring water from their own locality—tap water, spring water, bottles filled in lakes or rivers—to add to the collection. This water will be poured into cups at the center of the gallery, which are set out in the four directions of the traditional Native American medicine wheel.

While visiting the Dakotas, Meyer asked water protectors and allies for statements, which she recorded. The show includes four listening stations with headphones, so visitors may hear these testimonies. As one attends to the voices, while gazing at the pottery, one can imagine that the vessels are speaking. “When I started making the cups, I wanted them to be beautiful and to honor the water protectors, but I also wanted them to reflect the violence towards indigenous people,” Meyer reveals. “It was a question of: ‘How can I balance the beauty with the violence?’” Part of her strategy was to use porcelain, a material associated with European high culture, but to subject it to wood-firing, which creates erratic burn marks. Meyer also modified each cup before setting it in the kiln. “Each of these cups is a circle that has been pressurized—stretched or bent or dented, or just ragged at the edge,” Meyer reveals. We speak of the “mouth” of a cup, and the mouths of these cups have vivid expressions; some seem to be sneering, cursing, moaning, or singing. Looking at dozens of the cups, each one twisted or distorted in a different way, is almost like watching the play of…water. Meyer doesn’t sell her art, but offers it as a gift. On the last day of the show, anyone can take a cup, though she asks for a gift in exchange—specifically a donation to the Mní Wičhóni Nakíčižin (Defenders of the Water School) in North Dakota. A series of lectures, films, discussions, and performances relating to the water protector movement will be offered at the gallery. Elizabeth Phelps Meyer’s show, “Each Day, Water: A Monument for the Water Protectors of Standing Rock and Beyond” at Art Centro Gallery in Poughkeepsie, will run October 2-27.

FOOD & DRINK CATSKILLS WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL

Clockwise from top left: Gail Simmons; Marcus Samuelsson; Josh Capon; Paul Nanni; The Revivalists; Michael Chernow.

The Catskills Wine and Food Festival takes over Echo Camp in Bloomingburg on October 6-7.

Of Feasts and Foliage Set on over 200 acres of fields and forest at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Camp Echo in Bloomingburg will be the scenic setting for the first annual Catskills Wine and Food Festival (bonus: It’s peak leaf season). This two-day music and culinary experience is no small-town street fair. Taking place on October 6 and 7, the event will feature over 25 cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs, private tastings, a dynamic selection of beer, wine, and cider, a market, and an epic lineup of live music. The festival’s managing director Scott Rosenbluth is a marketing expert in New York City with a soft spot for Sullivan County, where he has witnessed firsthand the transformation over the past decade. “The idea for the festival started as a conversation about the changing event landscape and how there is room in the marketplace for an intimate event experience,” Rosenbluth says. “There’s this incredible renaissance happening throughout the Catskills region—new restaurants and attractions. We wanted to celebrate this by bringing together local flavors with nationally recognized chefs and talent.” The lineup of celebrity chefs includes Josh Capon (Bowery Meat Company and Lure Fishbar), Alex Guarnaschelli (Butter and “Chopped”), Gail Simmons (“Top Chef”), Marcus Samuelsson (Red Rooster and “Top Chef Masters”), Jordan Andino (Flip Sigi), Sarah Blair (CWFF Culinary Producer), Michael Chernow (The Meatball Shop and Seamore’s), Amirah Kassem (Flour Shop), and Bobbie Lloyd (Magnolia Bakery and “The Next Great Baker”). “We’re very fortunate to have some incredible partners in this event and on all sides—music, food, branded experiences, and activations,” Rosenbluth says. “We’re thrilled to see what CWFF has become.” Though food is the foundation for this festival, music was far from an afterthought. Seven-piece New Orleans outfit The Revivalists will headline Saturday’s festivities and indie bigwigs Lord Huron will hold down Sunday. Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Moon Taxi, Drake White and the Big Fire, The Dip, Ripe, and Escort are just some of the other acts performing throughout the weekend. “We have an incredible lineup of talent from the minute the gates open until they close,” Rosenbluth says.

As an added bonus, spend some time with some of the biggest influencers in food and wine —Jeremy Jacobowitz (@BrunchBoys), Laura Jung (@CityFoodie), Melissa Ben-Ishay (@BakedByMelissa), and more will take the stage for an influencer panel to talk about their favorite area #eats. Unlike other food, wine, and/or music festivals, CWFF strives to be an intimate event, allowing guests to get up-close to the action, whether that’s a musical performance or a cooking demonstration. Get VIP passes for a rare opportunity to taste homemade creations cooked live by some of the nation’s most acclaimed chefs. If you get tired of tastings, you can also take advantage of the sleepaway camp’s recreational amenities— shoot some hoops, play beach volleyball or street hockey, row around Echo Lake , or go for a hike on the trails. This festival is open to guests 21 and up. Two-day passes are $242.25 and includesfood and wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, live music, access to activities throughout the campground, the Sunday Market, and shuttles to and from select hotels and resort destinations in the area. Single-day tickets are also available for $140.25. VIP weekend passes are available for $549. These passes include all the general admission events, plus access to the VIP Village, where celebrity chefs and musical artists will mingle with attendees, and guests can enjoy special cooking demos, wine tastings, intimate dining experiences curated by CWFF celebrity chefs, a Saturday evening VIP dinner, an all-inclusive Sunday brunch, various open bar events, and an exclusive swag bag. For the full experience, stay overnight in an on-site cabin. Each 16-person lodge is equipped with full bathrooms and cot-sized bunkbeds (BYO bedding, pillows, towels, and toiletries). Cabins are $95 per night per person with a 12-person minimum. Catskillsfestival.com. —J. D. Eiseman 10/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 97

THEATER DENIZEN THEATRE

Ribbon cutting at Denizen Theatre in New Paltz on September 12.

What's In the Box? Denizen Theatre is the newest addition to the thriving art community of New Paltz. This black box theater with a flexible seating capacity of 50 to 70 seats sits atop the picturesque storybook village of commerce known as the Water Street Market, a quaint atmospheric community of nuanced businesses themed in art, culture, and spiritually minded crafts. According to cofounders Harry Lipstein and Ben Williamson, the name Denizen, which is displayed boldly by artist Chris Curnan on the side of the building, is a nod to Home (Den), Individuality (I), and Spirituality (Zen). “We share with all artists the fundamental reason for being in human form, which is to share love, and to in some way make people have an experience that allows them to be more empathetic with the world,” says Lipstein. From a pedestrian’s perspective, Denizen is framed by a man-made waterfall and a sculpture of a yogi in tree pose appearing to support the structure from below, as the community has supported Denizen since its inception in December of 2017, when the town board approved the project for construction. Since then, they have garnered support through various fundraising events, including a Kickstarter campaign that’s raised almost $30,000. Denizen Theatre is the brainchild of Harry Lipstein (architect, actor, and real estate developer), Ben Williamson (actor), and Brittany Proia (actor). The origin of this alliance was the Urbanite Theater in Sarasota, Florida, also founded by Lipstein, who is the owner of the Water Street Market. Discussions about the evolution of the Urbanite, between Harry Lipstein, Brendan Ragan (co-artistic director of the Urbanite) and Ben Williamson led to the idea of another theater, and soon found Brittany Proia joining the conversations. According to Williamson, the chemistry and language shared between him and Lipstein led to the vision that became Denizen Theatre. “Storytellers tell stories, they tell them from the heart, they tell them from whatever is true to them, and they allow

that to come out in their own artistic expression. That’s what we do here at Denizen,” says Williamson. Denizen is a place where people can connect with their roots of story, while sharing a breath or two as a community. “There’s such a sense of community here. I know that Denizen will be a beautiful addition to that community and, all we want to do is bring people together, share stories, and then talk about them,” says Proia. “The intimacy found in black box theater can be likened to a family member telling us a story in our own home. Removing the separation of audience from performer by eliminating the conventional structure of a stage affords us the unique opportunity to connect intimately to the performance.” The debut production at Denizen will be William Francis Hoffman’s “Cal In Camo,” directed by Stephan Nachamie and starring Valerie Lynn Brett, Mike Skitberg, John Hartzell, and Craig Patrick Browne. “Cal In Camo,” is an intricately woven story about the complexities of communicating and connecting across differences within family relationships. It explores both dysfunction and convention, along with juxtaposing the roles both play in finding common ground while growing through loss and feelings of inadequacy. This relevant, relatable story is set in the Midwest, around couple Cal and Tim. They are new parents who recently relocated from big-city life to a more rural, family-friendly setting. With humorous reverence, the play tackles issues of post-partum depression, grieving and loss, and the impact of secrets in relationships. “Cal in Camo” previews on October 11 and opens on October 12. The play will run through November 4 at Denizen Theatre at the Water Street Market in New Paltz. (845) 303-4136; Denizentheatre.com. —Jonah “Drumming Wolf” Young 10/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 99

50th Anniversary of Auroville & Matagiri In 1968, on a barren plateau north of Pondicherry (a former French colony in South India) representatives from 124 nations and the states of India placed soil in a marble urn dedicating a proposed city to human unity. Later that year in the Catskills hamlet of Mount Tremper, Sam Spanier and Eric Hughes received blessings from Auroville founder Mirra Alfassa, a disciple of Sri Aurobindo, to found a spiritual community based on his teachings of an evolving human consciousness. Alfassa gave her approval to the name Matagiri, Sanskrit for “Mother’s Mountain.” In honor of the 50th anniversary, two prominent Aurovillians will speak at Matagiri this month. On October 7, Sauro Mezzetti will share his perspectives on Auroville’s development and the significant accomplishments and challenges it faces. On October 20, Rama Subramanian will speak about his development work with Auroville’s Sustainable Livelihood Institute. Both talks will be held at Matagiri in Mount Tremper starting at 2 pm.

Emo Phillips scaring Matthew Gray Gubler. Emo Philips at The Beverly Here’s a classic Emo Philips’s joke: “When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.” This type of construction is known as a paraprosdokian: the latter part of a sentence, phrase, or larger discourse is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. This is a classic Emo Phillips inversion, like his on-stage persona—that of the idiot savant with the childlike falsetto who dispenses gnomic nuggets. Philips performance at The Beverly in Kingston on October 19 is a rare appearance in the Hudson Valley for this comedy icon. No less a humor personage than Patton Oswalt has remarked on Twitter, “I will never, ever, ever, write funnier, darker, more disturbing, more inappropriate and 100% clean jokes than @EmoPhilips. Good God.” Tickets are $20, $25 day of. (845) 514-2570; Thebeverlylounge.com.

A Trio of Japanese Films at PS21 As a warm-up to FilmColumbia Festival happening later this month, PS21 will host a mini Japanese film series over Columbus Day Weekend. Curated by theater director, filmmaker, and Japanophile Regge Life, programming kicks off on October 5 at 7:30pm with a screening of Kon Ichikawa’s sweeping epic An Actor’s Revenge. Set in the 19th-century kabuki theater world, the film follows a female impersonator as he attempts to avenge the deaths of his parents in a kaleidoscopic blur of identity, convention, and color. On Saturday, PS21 will screen Our Little Sister, Hirozaku Kore-eda’s live action take on the graphic novel Umimachi Diary: Our Little Sister, a moving treatise on family politics, guilt, forgiveness, and love. A Letter to Momo will close out the mini festival. This beautifully hand-drawn animation follows a young girl as she explores her new island home, uncovers a trio of mischievous spirits, and grapples with her father’s death. Ps21chatham.org

TUESDAY 23 DANCE

Field + Supply First, there was Smorgasburg. After a blockbuster opening day and then two lackluster seasons at Hutton Brickyard on the Kingston waterfront, Smorgasburg closed. The Brickyard tried its own hand at the food/flea market concept this summer with Hutton Fare, which shuttered after one weekend. It seems that it takes a special kind of event to succeed at this former industrial site, and Field + Supply may just be it. The modern maker’s design fair founded by Bard Ford returns Columbus Day weekend with a curated selection of artisans and handcrafted goods. This year's exhibitors include furnituremaker Michael Robbins, FSA leather goods, Myrth Ceramics, and Erica Moody Fine Metal, among dozens of other makers and vendors of luxe objects. New for 2018 is the antiques tent, organized by online antiques dealers Kid Made Modern and Decaso. There’s also a kids’ craft area this year, in addition to handcrafted food and beverages from the likes of Hetta Glogg, Oyster Party, and Stonecutter Spirits. October 5, 2-6pm; October 6, 11am-6pm; October 7, 11am-5pm. Tickets are $10. Fieldandsupply.com.

10/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 107

Horoscopes By Lorelai Kude

ROAD MAP TO INTIMACY: MAY CONTAIN DETOURS The Sun in Venus-ruled Libra through October 23 challenges us to maintain our balance when Venus in Mars-ruled Scorpio begins her retrograde on October 5, tossing aside a slightly wilted bouquet and kicking a box of semistale chocolates to the curb. It’s time to cut the romance and get real, and in this case “real” means really honest—with ourselves and with our partners. Retrograde Venus in Scorpio is the revealer of secrets: Launch a preemptive strike by truth-telling on your own terms. Passionate Mars in idealistic Aquarius throughout the month challenges us to declare what we would risk in the name of love. The roadmap to intimacy runs through danger zones. Without a sense of safety, there can be no trust. Without trust, there can be no intimacy. Yet intimacy is the energetic goal this month—achievable if we’re willing to dirty our hands in the loamy soil of our own fundamental fears. Mercury square Pluto on October 2 in Cardinal signs Libra and Capricorn may create verbal power struggles and communicative control issues. Mercury’s opposition to Uranus on October 10 yields surprise announcements, while Venus and Mars squared in the Fixed Signs of Scorpio and Aquarius prompts stubbornness: resist inflexibility or self-righteousness. The New Moon in Libra on the October 8 births new partnerships, the Full Moon in Taurus on October 24 defines roles and delineates resources within the relationship. Mercury and Jupiter in Scorpio between October 9 and 30 invites you to dive for buried treasures: those hidden, very human riches protected by primitive, instinctive defense systems waiting to be dug up and exposed to the light of day. You’ll emerge with handfuls of glittering jewels: precious intimacies, personal secrets and private confidences. Prove you are trustworthy by fiercely guarding the tender heart placed in your care.

Partnership issues dominate during October as Sun in Libra through October 22 creates harmonious conditions for sharing intimacy. Venus and Jupiter in the “other” Mars-ruled sign of Scorpio enhance your ability to go beyond the superficial in relationships, inspiring you to dig deeply into the wellsprings of your own consciousness to discover gifts of patience you didn’t even know you possessed. A secretkeeping partner proves worthy of your trust when Mercury after October 9 join Venus & Jupiter in Scorpio. Emotional fireworks may erupt if all the passionate intensity starts to feel like power games the week of October 21.

TAURUS (April 19–May 20)

The Sun in Libra through October 22 inspires romance, while Venus in your solar opposite of Scorpio stations retrograde on October 5, cautioning you to examine emotional choices you’ve made and what they may have cost you in terms of sovereignty, independence, and your individual identity. Taurus needs peace and comfort in the home, yet power struggles over ownership issues compete for your attention while you avoid conflict. The full moon in Taurus on October 23 may feel like the shattering crescendo to the call-and-response song you’ve been singing with your partner: “Mine” and “Ours” can’t be resolved without compromise.

Horoscopes GEMINI (May 20–June 21)

Your ruling planet, Mercury, is busy this month, zipping from Libra to Scorpio on the October 9 and to Sagittarius on the 30. Your need for speed and stimulation finds satisfaction digging for details October 26–28 as you make “precision” your watchword, eschewing the superficial in favor of verifiable truths, which you can wield in your ongoing fight against the sea of sloppy falsehoods that may be cluttering up your work environment. You may rise to a leadership position by modeling integrity as a non-anonymous whistle-blower when unjust conditions are illuminated by the Full Moon in Libra on the October 8.

CANCER (June 21–July 22)

Changes you’ve implemented since early July are tried on October 2 and tested by the 16. The two-week period between the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer and First Quarter Moon in Capricorn confirm your resolve to continue the positive path you set out on in July, giving you the opportunity to tweak and refine the details, evaluating what works best for you and redistributing emotional resources to support your hard-won resolve to improve yourself. Redefining “healthy” by rejecting punishing perfectionism and replacing it with compassionate self-care will clear space for a new level of achievement, especially around your mindbody connection.

LEO (July 22–August 23)

Couplehood issues that may have unearthed disturbing insecurities recede from view as your normally robust selfconfidence returns, not with a roar but a long, luxuriant purr of satisfaction. Trust that may have waivered is restored. Expert advice you quietly sought mid-summer, which shed light on your hidden fears becomes valuable when you’re asked, in the name of love, to extend yourself beyond your comfort zone. You can afford to be emotionally generous as the speedy direct motion of Mars through your solar opposite Aquarius restores magnanimity. Your naturally noble nature shines as you demonstrate how to help others without condescension.

VIRGO (August 23–September 23)

Environmental concerns are always part of your top-of-mind awareness, and it vexes you when others do not share this priority. This month you have the power to put your outstandingly organized skill set to the task of upgrading the consciousness of your friends and neighbors. Mercury’s transit through Scorpio, October 9–30, sharpens your persuasive skills in service to your community. Setting a good example isn’t good enough for you now: You’re ready to take the initiative as a leader, inspiring others by powerful persuasion, organizing concrete steps to meet a common goal. You may surprise yourself by entering local politics!

LIBRA (September 23–October 23)

Venus, your ruling planet, goes Retrograde in Scorpio on October 5, unearthing buried secrets. The Sun and Mercury meet the New Moon in Libra on October 8 and 9, igniting a brief but spectacular display of beauty and harmony. Idyllic pleasantries meet practical concerns during the Full Moon in Venus-ruled Taurus on October 24, when you’re asked to make a budget for your dreams. Your aspirations require more than just funding: Your values are your biggest asset. Though your instinct is to please others, you’ll attract the right support by being honest, transparent, and true to your core beliefs.

Venus in Scorpio’s retrograde begins October 5 and runs through mid-November. Venus in Mars-Ruled Scorpio is the great and terrible Queen of Heaven in all her glorious battle array, ready to slay the forces of evil, or, on an earthier level: “Venus in Furs.” Jupiter in Scorpio super-sizes the drama and delight of this dynamic tension, heightened by delay to ecstatic union. If you have sick leave coming, you should use it so you can devote all your energy to navigating that narrow strait between the Scylla of sensuality and the Charybdis of carnality. Survive this intimate interlude with integrity.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 22)

October proves Sagittarius knows how to get by with a little help from their friends—and how to be a friend to those in need. Sun in Libra and Mars in Aquarius inspire Sagittarius with fellowship and camaraderie, reminding you how good it feels just to love and be loved for yourself. You may have had a rare dose of too much solitude over the past year, maybe even slipping into occasional isolation. It’s not enough to be superficially social anymore—all your relationships require the fuel of attention. Invest only with those who are worthy of your precious energy.

All the positive momentum you gained this summer is carried forward in October as Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter in supportive Scorpio sextile Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. The First Quarter Moon in Capricorn on October 16 reveals the budding of seeds you’ve sown by careful planning this past summer. Promising preliminary results encourage further efforts, motivating you to continue the positive path you’ve forged. Your powers of persuasion are ready to be deployed around October 12, as you seek support and resources. Doors may open closer to home than you think. Don’t hesitate to activate a favorably placed family connection.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 19)

With Mars direct in Aquarius you’re moving quickly in the right direction, which is always forward. Co-rulers Saturn and Uranus in an Earth Trine ground you in practical wisdom and real-world capabilities, equipping you to make a tangible change with your recently upgraded wisdom. Normally comfortable with the theoretical, you now crave corporeal reality, giving form and function to your dreams. Don’t let fear of imperfection discourage you from experimenting; finding out what works best for you is sometimes a messy process. Fast-track the sensitive and insightful partner who holds space for their own vulnerability as well as your own.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Pisces gets a lot of support from the transits of Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter through your fellow Water Sign of Scorpio this month. You communicate best in the realm of feelings. Some of your best speeches have been entirely silent, made up only of gazes, caresses, and sighs. Mercury’s trine to Neptune in Pisces on October 18-20 puts the very words into your mouth you’ve so longed to say. Those feelings you assume everyone must be aware of are not all that obvious. Simply because you can read everybody else’s mind doesn’t mean they can read yours. Speak your heart!

Parting Shot

Goose #7, Steven Strauss, latex, oil, and enamel on canvas, 2018, 24 x 36 inches

Cornwall has a Canada geese problem. It seems there are too many geese in the town park, and they are creating what some regard as unsanitary conditions. The local government and concerned citizens proposed methods to control the avian invaders. Controversy ensued, petitions were started, letters were written, and the town even formed a geese management committee. Then one day the geese were gone, presumably rounded up and killed. The incident led Steven Strauss to consider the geese as subjects for his paintings. Why the aggressive action against the birds? Why are they seen as pests, nuisances, invaders, and polluters, when they are a natural phenomenon? Perhaps, he thought, it is an immigration problem, and, like the crisis playing out across the human world, it is one we have little or no control of. Canada geese mate for life, and family bonds are strong. A migrating flock can cover 1,500 miles in one day, and it often returns to the same location year after year. Strauss’s paintings emphasize each bird’s distinctive characteristics through detailed closeups, like film stills. Individual portraits emerge from a plain gray background. At the same time, the shape of the goose’s neck and its elegant black-and-white coloring make for a pleasing exploration of form and composition. Some paintings are quirky and surreal, like the image above, with multiple necks twisted together. The simplicity of Strauss’s paintings belies the complexity of the subject, as well as the implications, both local and global, of attempts to control the movement of living things. Back in Cornwall, Strauss has no shortage of subject matter. Each year, flocks of migrating geese return to the park, continuing nature’s inevitable cycle.
