Catskill Farms Redefines Mountain Charm

eventeen years ago, Charles Petersheim saw a need and set to work filling it.

The Catskill Farms founder moved from New York City to Narrowsburg in 2001 and noticed that the area lacked inspiring homes on the real estate market. “I saw a lot of young families buying distressed properties that needed far more rehabilitation than indicated by their life experience and their realtor,” he explains. “This tended to turn the whole rationale for buying an upstate retreat on its head. Instead of relaxing and kicking back, they were hiring hard-to-find contractors and managing a complicated, far-away construction project.” To Petersheim, that seemed all wrong. “An old home is always an old home, no matter how much lipstick you put on it.” In 2002, Petersheim built his first barn home—it is still owned by the same family. Since then, Catskill Farms, Petersheim’s vertically integrated development, design, construction, and real estate company, has built 165 homes across Sullivan, Ulster, and Dutchess counties, ranging from 700-square-foot cottages to sprawling, four-bedroom farmhouses. These houses are constructed both for specific clients and for listing on the market, injecting the region with much-needed housing inventory into the region. Expert Execution, Curated Location Petersheim is picky about land, and it shows. Each plot is chosen based on price, location, construction readiness, broadband accessibility, neighborhood, the “feel” of the land and its flexibility for accommodating various house styles and sizes. “We are experts in land selection,” he says, “and we love pairing a nice piece of land with a modest new home. It’s what we do.” Just recently, Catskill Farms completed work on Barn 24, in the Ulster County hamlet of Kerhonkson, which is now on the market for $699,000. Built on one of those curated properties for which Catskill Farms is known, Barn 24 is a 2,700-square-foot home with four bedrooms and 2.5 baths on a 22-acre lot. Marrying a Dwell aesthetic with rustic country, Barn 24 merges genres without overplaying its hand in any one direction. “Nothing is worse, in my mind, than adhering so strictly to a borrowed design and aesthetic it becomes a caricature of itself and the form it was mimicking in the first place,” Petersheim says. “Our barn plans keep it simple with open vertical spaces and a general attention to the simple exterior form of the American Barn.” Barn 24 is an adaptation of a barn house Catskill Farms has been playing with for six years—this one is a little taller and a little longer. The interior flows from one living space to another, with the dining room, living room, and kitchen all sharing a common goal of communal living with

adequate elbow room.The clean modern interior transitions into and incorporates the surrounding land with large windows, oversized decks, and screened porches that offer views of the surrounding woods and mountain ranges. The house boasts high ceilings, salvaged and plank wood walls, and wide-plank floors. A full walk-out basement has been framed up for transformation into an additional living space, be it a media room, a separate bedroom suite, or just a large kids room with padded walls and floors. Catskill Farms draws inspiration from Catskills’ history, the regional architectural vernacular, and many updated visions of the new American home—be it farmhouse, modern, barn, rancho, or mini-home. “I try to marry those inspirations with what I know about the local marketplace demands, such as size, floor plan flow, bedrooms, and locations,” Petersheim says. Energy efficiency is also one of Catskill Farms’ top priorities. Using spray foam insulation, siting homes to maximize shade and sunlight, and keeping homes modest in size help achieve that goal. “My clients expect that in their homes,” he says. Perhaps Barn 24’s greatest attribute, Petersheim explains, is that it exemplifies what Catskill Farms strives for in every home it builds. “The goal of the house is a single-minded focus on meeting the needs of the market, checking as many boxes as possible on a prospective homebuyer's list,” he says. “We try to build a house that suits the customer.While no house has everything, at least for our clients, we try to address as many of their priorities as possible.” With close to 200 homes, nearly 20 years, and $200 million of investment in the Catskills under his belt, it would seem Petersheim’s read on the market is spot-on. And since the rural migration pattern shows no signs of stopping, he’ll be at this game for a while. Thecatskillfarms.com 9/18 CHRONOGRAM 17

New Paltz, NY

ohn Donovan has always been enamored with color. When Donovan used to buy pigments in the East Village, he said he felt like he was buying drugs—an artistic high of sorts. “I started to collect pigments like some people collect butterflies,” he says. “I was hooked on color.” Even as a teenager, Donovan was fascinated with art—choosing trips to the Metropolitan Museum over the beach or baseball games. While his artistic process has changed over the years, Donovan says he’s always been intuitive and studied in his approach. In the ’80s, he tried his hand at minimalist color paintings. He used to spray acrylics to eliminate the brushstrokes—but found it too difficult to achieve the exact shades he sought. He was always chasing the “flattest matte finish” and the brightest color possible without using white paint. Nowadays, Donovan achieves his “two-dimensional and non-objective work” by building-up layers of oil paint. “I don’t mind that from a distance the paintings are stark and very graphic but at closer range look like a handmade painting,” he says. Donovan finds inspiration in many places—great art, everyday experience, the physical universe, and technology—as well as two artists in particular, Sol LeWitt and Donald Judd. One night while walking past Judd’s building on Mercer Street, Donovan saw the paintings of Swiss artist Richard Lohse through the ground-floor windows. Anytime he was nearby, he walked past the building to view Lohse’s paintings. “Lohse’s paintings and a comment from my brother about my dull paintings influenced me to turn my palette to full chroma.” Where other artists may use color to evoke emotional response, Donovan uses a full spectrum of color to create a sense of unity, completeness, and balance. Each painting has its own color system and every system communicates a different message. “One’s perception of a color is changed depending on what color it is next to,” he says. “I am not as interested in a particular color as I am about a system of colors.” This month’s cover image, Inverted Starburst Diamond, embodies these beliefs. In separating the warm and cool sides of the spectrum, and then connecting them from light to dark with a starburst motif, Donovan has created what he sought: a painting full of visual motion. Donovan’s newest show, “Spectrum Observed,” opened on August 18 at FRG Objects & Design / Art in Hudson. Featuring 26 paintings created mostly in the last two years, the show also includes four 15-year-old paintings meant to offset and anchor Donovan’s newer work—which was the idea of Principal Curator Rick Gillette. “He knew exactly how he wanted the show to look,” Donovan says. “When hanging the show, Rick was like a kid in his own candy store.” Of the paintings themselves, Donovan hopes people will think more deeply about artistry and their own visual and mental perception. And while art should be about observing, Donovan also believes it should have a sense of wonder. “I want my work to have a joy of life but also return to the fundamental questions of what it is to be alive,” he says. “Spectrum Observed” will be on display until October 15 at FRG Objects & Design / Art in Hudson.

n September, the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce will host the 28th annual Taste of New Paltz festival. This oneday food and drink event at the Ulster County Fairgrounds will celebrate local shops, producers, and restaurants such as Schatzi’s Pub & Bier Garden, Lola’s Restaurant, and La Charla—a new Mexican restaurant that opened in October 2017. A selection of craft beverages will also be served, like Warwick Valley hard cider and other New York State craft beers. KAS Spirits—a small-batch craft spirits distillery—will be serving Krupnikas, a traditional Lithuanian alcoholic drink sweetened with honey and aromatic spices like vanilla, cinnamon, and cardamom. “It’s like a business showcase but better,” says Kati Haynes, marketing director of the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a full flavor of everything that is New Paltz—from restaurants to food trucks to craft vendors. It’s really a great way for the local community and for the people from outside of New Paltz to really get to see what New Paltz is up to in all realms of business.” Attendees can purchase $3 to $5 tastes from the festival’s different food and drink vendors. This year features a “Best of the Taste” competition in three categories—Best Food Truck, Best Restaurant, and Best Winery/Distillery. Attendees can vote for their favorite businesses. Taste of New Paltz will also host its first-ever homemade apple pie contest. With both apple and pie connoisseurs as the judges, the contest closes at 11:30am, and winners will be announced at 1pm. (See website for specific contest guidelines.) In addition to face-painting, photo booths, arts and crafts, and a Dr. Seuss-themed children’s section, there will also be health and wellness practitioners, live music, and live demonstrations throughout the day. Taste of New Paltz will be held on September 16 from 11am to 5pm at the Ulster County Fairgrounds. Presale tickets are $3. Regular tickets are $5. Children 12 and under have free entry.

The Boarding School Experience ADVENTURE, CHALLENGE, DIVERSITY, COMMUNITY

ith innovative teaching styles, flexible boarding options, and signature academic programs, the entire concept of boarding school has evolved a lot over the years. By and large, these institutions are no longer the traditional schools that your parents or grandparents may have attended. Boarding school offers a well-rounded academic experience that is both challenging and rewarding, and is a place where intellectual, social and emotional maturation flourishes amidst a supportive community. Do you think your child would benefit from a college-campus-like learning environment, but you do not want him or her away from home all week long? Most boarding schools also accept day students and some even offer flexible boarding programs. For example, starting in the fall of 2019, The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry will offer a five-day boarding option, in addition to their full-time boarding program. If that’s got your wheels turning, here are five other reasons why you and your child should consider boarding school. 1. Student-Centered Teaching Philosophies In public schools, the statewide curriculum doesn’t leave much room for improvisation. But as private institutions, boarding schools get to explore different teaching philosophies and methods to find what works best for students, such as the Harkness method employed at The Masters School.This discussionbased teaching style takes place around oval tables that encourage interaction, critical thinking and exchange of ideas. Regardless of college track or professional field, these talents and skills are critical to future achievement and success. 2. 360-Degree Mentorship At boarding school, relationships with teachers aren’t something to be checked at the door on the way out of class. Since so many faculty members live on campus, many of them are also dorm parents, coaches, club sponsors, advisors and even just a friendly face in the dining hall. Faculty members get to see students engage with and grow across a range of environments, and are wellpositioned to offer support.

3. Truly Diverse Community Living It is one thing to learn how to get along with siblings; it is another thing entirely to live cooperatively with new people from all walks of life. Experience in navigating shared living spaces is a growth opportunity that prepares young people for college and later life. Whereas most schools are a reflection of an area’s demographics, boarding schools draw students from around the country and the world, creating a culturally and racially diverse environment for learning and living. The Masters School in Westchester has students from 13 states and 30 countries. A Hudson Valley student could have a roommate from California and be in math class with a student from South Korea. 4. Innovative Curriculums & Signature Programs With excellent facilities and resources, boarding school can be a hotbed of innovation, fostering creativity and propelling some of the brightest young minds to their first great accomplishments. Special programs, like The Masters School’s Innovation, Engineering & Entrepreneurship curriculum, elevate STEM to a new level by offering students the opportunity to earn college credits and preparing them for future opportunities in the real world. 5. More Adventure, More Independence With dynamic classes, a wide array of athletic, performing and visual arts offerings, engaging co-curriculars, community mealtimes, and dorm life, the opportunity to learn and have fun with friends never stops. By creating their own schedules and balancing their commitments, students learn self-discipline and independence, all while experiencing a well-rounded education and cultivating lifelong relationships. So if you are considering boarding school to help prepare your child for college, career and life, do your homework, visit campuses, and talk to students. You will be glad you did! The Masters School Open House October 20: grades 5-8 at 9am, grades 9-12 at 1pm. To RSVP, contact admission@mastersny.org or (914) 479-6420. Mastersny.org 9/18 CHRONOGRAM EDUCATION 33

BRIDGING THE GAP

COLUMBIA & GREENE COUNTIES

he logical place to start when talking about Columbia and Greene Counties is with the bridge that connects them, the Rip Van Winkle. Opened in 1938, the span stretches above the Hudson River, carrying 15,000 people along Route 23 between Catskill and Hudson each day. Like the region itself, the bridge is also changing with the times. Earlier this year, the NewYork State Bridge Authority completed the first phase of the Hudson River Skywalk project, a scenic pedestrian trail linking two state historic sites—the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill and Frederick Church’s Olana in Hudson—with a rebuilt sidewalk on the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, including three scenic viewpoints, each 50 feet long by 10 feet wide, with views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains. Betsy Jacks, executive director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, sees the construction of the Skywalk as the continuation of a longstanding connection that began 200 years ago. “We’ve been collaborating for centuries,” says Jacks, “since Cole showed Church that piece of property where Church would build his home.” The Skywalk project will ultimately link Thomas Cole National Historic Site and Olana via trails on either side of the bridge that are scheduled to be completed within a year’s time. The cross-county collaboration will be celebrated on September 30, with the first Skywalk Arts Festival. There’ll be plein-air painters on the bridge, an art sale at Thomas Cole National Historic Site, music, food, and activities for families at both sites. Despite some similarities between communities on both sides of the river, there are clear differences and divergent challenges facing the main municipalities in Greene and Columbia Counties, Catskill and Hudson. 34 COMMUNITY PAGES CHRONOGRAM 9/18

Catskill: A Village Always On the Verge The village of Catskill (population 4,081 according to the 2010 census) is the county seat of Greene County. It’s most famous former resident (other than Thomas Cole) is the boxer Mike Tyson, who trained here. (The actress Jennifer Connolly was born in nearby Cairo—pronounced kay-row.) A sense of being on the verge has characterized Catskill for the past 15 years. There was momentum building prior to the real estate crash of 2008, with new businesses opening on the village’s historic Main Street, but the downturn stalled the village’s rising economic fortunes. A resurgent entrepreneurial class and some well-funded new projects in town have many believing that with this wave of revitalization Catskill can realize its full potential. Jacks, who’s been the executive director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site for 15 years, is a keen observer of village happenings. “We’ve had so many people working on bringing up Catskill’s fortunes for generations,” says Jacks. “But now there’s so much happening in Catskill. It’s been like a snowball rolling downhill. Catskill has always been cool and fun, but it seems to have arrived.” Many residents talk about the opening of HiLo Cafe in the spring of 2017 as the physical manifestation of a turning point. The storefront space, run by Queens transplants Liam and Laura Singer, wears its municipal pride on its sleeve, referring to itself as “a cafe, bar, art gallery, and performance space located in the greatest village in the world, Catskill NY.” Niva Dorell, visual arts director for the Greene County Council on the Arts, agrees. “Hi-Lo is the heartbeat of Catskill,” she says. “It brings a lot of different people together for different reasons. It’s a real cross-section.

The building housing HiLo is owned by photographer Alon Koppel and his wife Melissa, a painter, who live on the top floor (the Singers live on the second floor). The Koppels moved to Catskill three years ago from the Dutchess County town of Red Hook and began looking for a tenant for the storefront. After talks with a man who wanted to open a traditional bar but wasn’t open to having art in the space’s proscenium entryway, Koppel realized he was looking to foster a community space in his building. The Singers’ idea for HiLo fit the bill. The cafe hosts community events (like fundraisers for the local public radio station WGXC) and serves as the meeting place for a village steeped in symbiosis. “People come to HiLo and say, ‘There’s community here, I can see myself here.’” “Catskill is open to collaboration,” says Koppel, who should know. Currently, he’s curating a photography show at the Greene County Council on the Arts (“No Nudes, No Sunsets,” through September 22), shooting drone photography for the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, and documenting the rehearsals and performances of the new big player in town, Lumberyard. Formerly the American Dance Institute, Lumberyard has transformed the former Dunn Builders Supply, a creekside industrial complex, into a $8.2-million state-of-the-art performance center and certified soundstage for film and TV production. The location will serve as the home of the nonprofit’s technical residency program and main performance venue. Artistic and executive director Adrienne Willis believes Catskill is the right home for her organization. “We wanted to find a place that was not only right for us, but where we would have economic impact,” says Willis. “We wanted to find a town that was on the verge of revitalization so we could leverage resources for one another and became part of the fabric of the community.” After a summer performance series at locations around the region, Lumberyard is ready for the big reveal of its 7,000-square-foot building on September 1 with a grand opening event featuring tap dance virtuoso Savion 38 COMMUNITY PAGES CHRONOGRAM 9/18

Glover and hosted by actor Alan Cumming. Year-round programming will follow, and Willis hopes to capitalize on the booming film and TV production in the region—aided by generous state tax cuts specifically designed to draw projects to the Hudson Valley region—to help defray expenses. Lumberyard also has an ambitious outreach program, training local high school students in tech for the performing arts and doing work inside local correctional facilities. The day before his show in Catskill, Savion Glover will perform for incarcerated teens at the Hudson Correctional Facility. Willis hopes to incubate a statewide arts reintegration program for incarcerated teens at Lumberyard. Another project with transformative potential for Catskill is Foreland. Slated to open in fall 2019, Foreland is the brainchild of artist and real estate developer Stef Halmos. She is currently overseeing the rehabilitation of an historic 50,000-square-foot-building, which she describes as a “contemporary arts ecosystem” that will include galleries, artist studios, a restaurant, and a special project space.When asked what such a space would like look like, Halmos responds: “A visually striking environment for people to make and show work, cutting-edge programming to engage a regional and national audience, and a spot to sit and stay a while.” Unlike what happened in the village’s small-business boom prior to the Great Recession, these new, well-financed operations are unlikely to go away. “The opening of Lumberyward and Stef Halmos’s Foreland show the longterm commitments people are making to Catskill,” says Dorell. “If all these long-term projects come to fruition, it will bring people and prosperity to Catskill.” But Koppel, who was drawn to Catskill for its inexpensive real estate as much as the sense of a community discovering itself, says be careful what you wish for. “In three or four years, it may be too much like Brooklyn here, and maybe we’ll move to Syracuse,” he says with a laugh.

Hudson: The Price of Success “The city of Hudson’s last comprehensive plan, written in 2002, was aspirational,” says Carole Osternik. “It painted a picture of a city back from the edge. Now, the population more than doubles on the weekend in the summer. People are saying the city is too expensive and too crowded on weekends. We’re at a point where we truly need to assess what’s happened. It might be time for Hudson to manage its success.” Osternik, who’s lived in Hudson for 25 years, has served on the city’s Common Council, was a founding member of Historic Hudson, and is a de facto one-person newsgathering organization on her blog Gossips of Rivertown, where she publishes information from various municipal meetings and publicizes community events. Another independent media outlet working on covering Hudson (and all of Columbia and Greene counties) is local public radio station WGXC. Launched in 2011 on the FM dial as an extension of the community radio work done by Tom Roe and Galen Joseph-Hunter of Wave Farm, WGXC is a hands-on, participatory radio station that not only reports on the region but also serves as a public platform for information, experimentation, and engagement. Three full-time staffers and 90 volunteer programmers create an eclectic mix of programming. “There’s something for everybody,” says Lynn Slonecker, station manager. “If you hear something you don’t like, wait a half hour and you’ll hear something completely different.” Hudson’s diversity—religious, ethnic, personality, age—is what Mayor Rick Rector refers to as the city’s “greatest strength.” It also makes the radio station studio on Warren Street a pollinator of community interaction. “If you spend any time at the radio station,” says Slonecker, “you’ll see a cross-section of people under one roof that you wouldn’t see anywhere else in Greene or Columbia. There’s a combination of people who love radio and young people who are experiencing radio for the first time.” (WGXC features a block of programming in the afternoon created by and for youth.) Given Hudson’s runaway success in the past decade as a tourist destination and hub of retail activity (and the related negatives that come along with it, which can be loosely grouped under the nebulous term “gentrification”), Slonecker believes radio can play a vital role in the city. “With the way things are evolving, a local community station takes on more and more importance, both creatively and in terms of info gathering and distribution. There’s a lot of discussion and in-depth work on issues like gentrification.The community is at a point where public dialog is very important. Radio is a great meeting place. It’s intimate. It’s a media that allows people to hear the voices of other people. And in order to have a civil dialog, you need to have mutual respect, and that comes from people being able to hear each other.” The challenge of unifying a diverse community was a common theme among the people I spoke to for this article. Chuck Rosenthal, who owns lifestyle and home furnishing store Valley Variety and is chair of the Hudson Business Coalition, expresses it this way: “The biggest challenge is vision and consensus building,” he says. “When I did my research on Hudson before moving here five years ago, I read the comprehensive plan reports from 2002. In a way, we’re still discussing the same ideas. We struggle to home in on a single vision and come to consensus.” Rosenthal is quick to point out that despite some growing pains, the city is distinctive in its mile-long main street offering a cosmopolitan mix of antiques, design, fashion, arts, and food. “We have a lot of built-in attributes that make a really great livable city that’s also attractive to visitors,” he says. “We have a great town. It’s just a matter of pulling it all together.” No one feels that more optimisitc than Rick Rector, who was elected mayor last fall, running on a campaign platform of “One Hudson.” Rector, a relative political newcomer, ran unopposed, and is seen by many as ushering in a new era of transparent city leadership after decades of Hudson’s politics being dominated by a small group of entrenched interests. (Melissa auf der Mar, cofounder of Basilica Hudson, opines: “Hudson has developed despite its elected leadership,” she says. “It wasn’t until the antiques dealers, the gays, freaks, and artists showed up that things started to shift. The level of momentum has been remarkable but unconnected with any municipal help.”) Job one for Rector is moving beyond outdated political divisions and fostering conversation. “In a small town, it’s more about the person than the political party,” he says. “It’s about finding out what’s best for the community. My goal is to reach out to everybody and make decisions collectively with input from everyone.”

Rector will also be spending much of his time implementing the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) grant the city received from the state last year.The bulk of the funding will go to projects in Lower Hudson. “It’s a little like the Wild Wild West down there. The DRI funds will go to much-needed infrastructure in an area that’s been neglected by the city.” Two projects funded by the DRI are overseen by auf der Mar and her husband, filmmaker Tony Stone. Basilica Hudson, which has become a regional arts destination since opening in a former glue factory in 2010, will be winterized, offering the opportunity for year-round programming and training opportunities for Hudson’s youth. Auf der Mar is bullish on the possibility of workforce development programs in the arts connecting kids to the booming local creative economy. “We have potential jobs,” she says, “we just need to train and connect youth to those jobs. There’s potential, it just needs organizing—and the organizing is starting now.” Auf der Mar and Stone’s latest endeavor is the River House Project, a film and media hub housed in the vacant Allen Street School that will contain studios and post-production facilities for film and TV, and like Lumberyard, will leverage the state film tax credit. Phase one of the project will be complete this fall, and will also connect Hudson’s youth to jobs in film and TV. Auf der Mar says there’s much work to be done in the city—to create opportunities for those most in need, to connect a fragmented community, to overcome decades of political inertia—but she’s optimistic. “Everyone in Hudson wants to make it work, it’s just a matter of connecting the dots,” auf der Mar says. “Our small city has the opportunity to be a beacon for the future of this country.”

Linda Mussman and Claudia Bruce moved their arts organization, Time and Space Limited, to Hudson in the early ‘90s, becoming pioneers in a slow-burning renaissance of the city that today has been transformed by development and tourism. Since opening its doors, Time and Space Limited has been a cultural anchor, putting on plays, curating art shows, hosting community discussions, and playing a vital role in arts education for the city’s youth. Time and Space Limited has also screened a lot of movies. Now it’s the subject of one, sort of. A Bread Factory, the new two-part film from writer-director Patrick Wang (In the Family, The Grief of Others), tells the story Dorothea and Greta, who after running a community arts center for 40 years, suddenly find themselves fighting for survival in the quickly gentrifying town of Checkford. Wang was inspired by Bruce and Mussman’s personal story, and the story of a small city in transition. “A small town turns out to be a great setting for thinking about many big themes: art and commerce, globalization, gentrification, changing social institutions, and new technology,” Wang says. Told in two parts, A Bread Factory stars Emmy-award winner Tyne Daly and Elizabeth Henry as Dorothea and Greta. In part one, For the Sake of Gold, Dorothea and Greta’s arts center is threatened when a celebrity couple—performance artists from China—build an enormous complex down the street, catapulting big changes in their small town. In part two,WalkWith Me aWhile, townspeople rehearse the Greek play, “Hecuba” at the Bread Factory while outside the town has been invaded by bizarre tourists and mysterious tech workers. There is a new normal in Checkford, if it is even really Checkford any longer. Most of the film was shot in Hudson and at Time & Space Limited in 2017 and features some cast and crew drawn from Hudson, but Wang is careful not to equate the problems of the fictional town of Checkford with Hudson. “The city in the film is having more of an existential crisis than the actual City of Hudson,” says Wang. “Hudson feels like a slow-motion version of Checkford, where things can go either way.” A Bread Factory—Parts One & Two premieres as a double feature at Time and Space Limited in Hudson on September 3 at 1pm, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Patrick Wang. Tickets are $18/$14. Before its New York City and Los Angeles premieres in October, A Bread Factory will screen at Time and Space Limited throughout September on the weekend.

drienne Truscott didn’t ask for this.The performance artist who juxtaposes burlesque, off-color humor, and feminism to create theater that is at once hilarious and provocative to the point of cringing uncomfortability has built a career on forgoing any need for permission. Her partner, Carmine Covelli, a drummer for Kathleen Hanna’s band the Julie Ruin and a backup musician and dancer for comedienne Bridget Everett’s cabaret show Bridget Everett and the Tender Moments, operates under a similar ethos: Get an idea, look around for readily available supplies, figure out how to do it, and get started. Over the course of their 17-year collaboration as partners and artists, the two have, according to Truscott, “gathered, jimmied, repurposed, constructed, and reconstructed” whatever struck them as interesting, relevant, or recyclable into theater sets, art pieces, and musical performances. A little bit of scavenging and a lot of going with the flow has taken them through the realms of low art and high, around the world (Truscott has spent the past 10 winters touring the Australian fringe festival circuit; Covelli regularly travels with his bands) and now to their five-and-a-half-acre property in Tivoli.

The interior of the couple’s studio looks out over the pond. Covelli built the island at the center out of construction netting, leftover wood, and 107 one-gallon containers left behind by the property’s previous owners.

“It’s our kooky little respite from the city and possible end-of-the-world bunker,” explains Truscott. The freshly mown lawn is dotted with an eclectic mix of outbuildings and borders a pond brimming with wildlife. At one end, a remodeled trailer provides year-round sleeping quarters. Overlooking the pond, a prefab converted garage-shed, provides a four-season incubator for their creative hatchlings. A fire pit, outdoor dining table, open-air shower, wood-heated clawfoot soaking tub, hand-built dock, and island large enough to hold “one person or four turtles” says Truscott, are all evidence that Truscott and Covelli have adapted to, and are now fully integrated with, the pond’s thriving ecosystem. Further afield, a storage shed guards the scavenged raw materials and equipment for ongoing and possible creative projects. And a wagon converted to a food truck is the basis for Covelli’s latest brainchild: the Vinyl Donut, a food truck/roving record store, which Covelli plans to take live in the Hudson Valley this month. Like their art, their slowly evolving habitat is very much a work in progress that could take a turn towards the delightedly unexpected at any moment. It is also the physical manifestation of their creative process. Or, as Truscott puts it, “What we are doing up here is a real-life cumulation of how we collaborate artistically and how we survive.” Sufficiently Odd, Possibly Alive In 2008, Truscott had been performing as one part of the Wau Wau Sisters at Bard’s Speigeltent for three years when Covelli and Truscott began to see the area as more than a tour stop. (In August, Truscott performed her show “Asking for It,” a “one-lady rape comedy,” as part of this year’s Spiegeltent lineup.) More and more friends were moving to the area, and they liked the abundance of art and fellow artists. “The combination of those two things was like an anchor, and we started to look around,” remembers Truscott. “But we began to look around like fakers.” The idea of owning something seemed far-fetched for two constantly touring performance artists. They contacted a local real estate agent and asked to see any property “that was odd, but seemed like it could be turned into something living, even if it didn’t seem that way,” says Covelli. He

Built by Covelli, the outdoor shower features a tankless water heater and wood-and-metal privacy screen.

“It’s ironic,” says Truscott. “I’ve become known for doing a show about rape—which is all about consent—when the bulk of my artistic career has been based on the premise that it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. As an artist, it’s the only way I’ve survived in the world, but as a woman, I certainly don’t feel that way.”

took them to a former roadhouse, a brothel, a guitar shop, a one-room schoolhouse, a farmhouse, and then a house the agent swears was haunted. “He had some weird, blurry orb pictures that he still seemed shaken by,” recalls Covelli. It was a patron of their shows, and now a neighbor, who told them about the parcel for sale on a back road in Tivoli. “We got here, and there was a wretched old house—the foundation was cracked, siding was missing, tar paper was on a few sides. It wasn’t like we drove up and fell in love with it,” remembers Truscott. The land was overgrown with grass and weeds up to their chests, completely obscuring the property’s details. However, they noticed a giant willow tree and waded through the weeds to see it, finding a pond hidden by the overgrown bush. They realized the property had plenty of potential. (“That’s one thing we’re really good at,” notes Covelli, “seeing potential.”) They had never owned anything before and knew the sweat equity required to make something livable out of the ramshackle, neglected lot would be great, but they also saw an opportunity to create something they could really love. Family members pitched in to help them buy the property, but asked the question: “But then what?” Covelli and Truscott didn’t quite know the answer. However, years of collaborating on countless shows had taught them the possibility of creating beauty out of remnants and cast-offs. The couple’s partnership began with a first date that turned into an impromptu Dumpster dive. (“It was a clean Dumpster,” Covelli is quick to clarify, “and it was a really great chair.”) “People don’t understand, unless they are in the theater, how you can just get stuff for free,” explains Truscott. “After events, people often throw everything away. I’m always asking things like, ‘You’re just using all that lumber tonight?’ ‘All those curtains, you’re just putting them in the Dumpster?’”The couple knew if

they looked around they would probably find what they needed, or something they could adapt, as they had always done in their work. “Bit by bit, we’ve been doing the same thing—using our skills and our artmaking brains to make this beautiful, weird thing out of nothing.”

Adapt, Recycle, Renew They began by doing “everything backward,” says Truscott. Their first push mower resulted in only a hand full of blisters for Covelli and made very little headway clearing the overgrown land. However, a hundred-dollar riding mower—“literally just a seat over an engine”—scored from a junk collector in Hudson, allowed them to cut back the weeds around the willow tree and along the pond until they found grass. The first few summers, the couple were frequently touring, so they just camped out in the cleared space, working on the property the days they could be in town, and then hopping into the pond to cool off at sundown. A neighbor offered to raze the eyesore of a house for free, and Covelli saved the wood scraps, using a few to build his first structure on the property: An eight-foot-square dock at the edge of the pond. A few years later, they found an $800-dollar camper in New Jersey and began to extend their time upstate through the autumn months, eventually adding solar panels to the roof. With the house gone, they knew they wanted to build a more substantial structure but weren’t sure what. When Covelli found a free-standing garage that came as a kit, a more permanent structure felt doable. “It became just like putting on a show,” explains Truscott, lapsing into theater jargon. “It seemed like we were getting ready for tech week.” They adapted the two-story, 12-by20-foot structure into a shed with the entrance facing the pond, swapping out

Top: The exterior of the studio shed with Covelli at the BBQ. “I would like someone to monetize the sweat equity we›ve put out into the world, over the past 20 years,” he says. Bottom: “We can just sit and watch this pond for ages,” says Truscott. “There is a great blue heron, a green heron, a beaver, and a muskrat. It feels like a free menagerie. Two geese landed—they think it’s their land, we think it’s ours.” They also had six goslings, but all six were eaten in one day. “It’s nature,” shrugs Truscott. “Nature can be horrible and unpredictable.”

the original garage door with a glass one they found. The kit came with two windows and stairs leading to an ample second-story storage area, which now doubles as extra sleeping space. Covelli added a kitchen area at the back of the structure, as well as a bluestone-lined composting toilet and shower off to the opposite side of the building. With a wood stove and added insulation, the studio is comfortable in all four seasons, allowing them to warm over and hatch new ideas throughout the year. After being taken over by mice, their camper had to be gutted last summer. True to their talents as recyclers, Covelli and Truscott utilized the opportunity to turn the space into an elegant bedroom, with kitchenette and sitting area. Covelli added new supports to the trailer, and installed a bar top and wood floor gleaned from a theater being demolished in NewYork City. A metal closet was gifted from friends and cinder blocks from the original house foundation are now used as steps. This summer, Covelli finally used the last remnants of wood from the razed house. An outdoor shower hidden in a grove of trees utilizes a tankless water heater to run hot water—a far cry from their days of jumping in the pond. The wood was used to build a privacy screen around the shower, which is open to the canopy of beech trees above. As their structures have become more permanent, both Truscott and Covelli have become more rooted in the Hudson Valley. Covelli has been invited to bring the Vinyl Donut to multiple outdoor events this fall at Bard, where Truscott will be teaching a course this semester. “Everything seems to have been leading us here,” says Truscott.

Fill Your Pockets Tucking Plants into Rock Walls By Michelle Sutton Photos by Larry Decker Mud in Your Pores My favorite method for installing plants in rock walls—be they geometric and precise dry-stacked retaining walls, or more naturalistic, stabilizing round stones at the base of a slope—brings to mind making mud pies as a kid. It involves the very technical process of … making mud. Dry stone wall or otherwise, pockets of planting opportunity are created. To fill stone pockets of various kinds, I use a clay loam soil, wet it until it’s a thick mud slurry, then use a palette knife to fill the pockets with the slurry before tucking the tiny plants in and finally closing any remaining gap with more mud slurry. (As you can imagine, this is an optimally fun gardening activity for kids.) You’ll notice I mentioned clay loam. The clay part is key. A useful analogy I learned from a mentor is that a given volume of clay soil is like a room filled with golf balls—being small, the golf balls can “nest” tightly together, so the pore spaces between the balls are small. This is what happens with clay soil. On the other hand, the same volume of sandy soil is like a room filled with basketballs—the balls can’t “nest” as tightly together, so the spaces between the basketballs are bigger. Those spaces between the balls are like soil pores; the smaller pores between clay particles hold on to water and nutrients more tightly than the larger pores of sandy soil can. Clay’s tenaciousness can be bad when you’re planting in the earth—sometimes it holds onto water too well, for example—but can be an advantage when you want soil and plants to stay in place and not dry out in the pockets of a rock wall. 54 HOME & GARDEN CHRONOGRAM 9/18

Not everyone uses the mud slurry technique. Some folks actually tuck some inorganic floral foam or long-fiber sphagnum moss in there for roots to cling to until they get long enough to explore the soil behind the wall. I am sticking with a clay-loam mud-slurry because it works well for me … and I get to play with mud. Pocket Plant Palette Some sources will recommend that you plant as you build the retaining wall, but for most of us, that level of planning and precision is not realistic … and/ or we have inherited the rock wall. Although it’s possible to grow plants in a freestanding wall, retaining walls are better suited for plantings because the earth behind a retaining wall supplies moisture to the pocket plants as their roots explore their surroundings. That root exploration is also good for stabilizing the wall by keeping the retained soil behind the wall from washing out. Other reasons to plant pockets: Your wall may have some imperfections that plants can cover over. Plants will visually soften your wall and make it more interesting. More plant variety = more pollinators. Gardeners gotta garden. And it’s super fun to play with mud and tiny plants. In choosing plants for sunny spots, start with herbs like rosemary and thyme; succulents like sedums and hens and chicks; and drought-tolerant small or creeping perennials like phlox, dianthus, and basket-of-gold. (Note that even the sun lovers, however, will appreciate some shade during the hottest hours of the afternoon.) For shady spots, consider tiny ferns (tiny-at-maturity,

not just baby plants), miniature hostas, columbine, primrose, and the smaller varieties of bellflower. As in the human world, in the plant world, volunteers are happiest.You will get some native volunteers and often they are keepers. A good way to investigate the possibilities for native plants in your wall is to visit rock outcroppings, crevices, and cliff faces near you to see what nature has sown there. (Of course, you would be going for ideas only, seeking the plants themselves from reputable nurseries.) To give your native and other plants the best shot, avoid planting aggressive/overly successful plants that could hog all that limited pocket soil. A word about mosses. If you’re like me, the dream is to have mosses atop, in, around, and everywhere in relation to your rock wall. Folks have a lot of misconceptions about mosses, which could lead one to think they won’t work in this rock-wall situation. Often thought to require acidity or low fertility, in fact most mosses are not fussy about the pH or nutrient content of the surface upon which they grow. All mosses do not need shade; with nearly 10,000 species of moss growing on all seven continents, you can be assured there are moss varieties that tolerate full sun exposure. And mosses don’t have to be wet all the time; in fact, moss is among the most drought-tolerant plants! Moisture aids sexual reproduction of mosses, photosynthesis, and faster growth, but is not essential to the survival of most mosses. However, you do need adequate moisture to get these plants established. So, with a little research, you can bring on the mosses for your rock walls!

Pocket Plant Culture For perennials, use the smallest seedlings possible for the best chance of success. Plant perennials in early spring or in the fall. Plant annuals in the spring. Use seeds for when you want an inexpensive way of trying out new/unusual varieties of perennials or annuals. Annuals will be higher maintenance because you have to replace them every year. Because succulents are so very drought tolerant once established, use them toward the top of the wall and other places that tend to dry out quickly. Keep your seeds/seedlings moistened with the mist setting on your watering wand so as not to dislodge soil, seeds, or seedlings. Tiny seedlings mustn’t dry out. Use drought-tolerant, rock-garden-type plants (this can include mosses!). Embrace volunteers, unless they are aggressive. Allow reseeding by not deadheading flowers. To help retain soil in the pocket, you can make a little shelf by wedging a small stone into the bottom front of the space before filling with soil and planting. Keep the wall weeded, so the little plants don’t have competition while they’re getting established. Fertilizer should not be necessary for rock-wall plants. Prune creeping phlox and other perennials per recommendations for each type of plant. Keep an open mind as you embark on this experimentation! Sometimes you will do everything right and certain plants still perish. It’s not personal.

Window Shopping

eplacing or adding windows in a home is a major investment. More often than not, we leave whatever was in place until a broken seal or an errant baseball forces our hand. But windows are a powerful part of curb appeal, home feel, and energy efficiency. Williams Lumber and Home Centers carry a wide range of windows from Marvin and Andersen. Browse before buying and talk to one of their millwork specialists for guidance and information. Whatever your window project, here are three things you should consider before you dive in.

Home Style Is your home a Craftsman or a Contemporary? Italianate? Midcentury? All of these architecture schools have traditional window shapes and types associated with them, which you may want to consider (either to match or juxtapose). For example, Colonial-style homes, with their focus on symmetry and simplicity, predominantly use multiple-pane, rectangular windows spaced at even intervals, with the occasional bay window thrown in. Functionality When you buy a home, you inherit its quirks, but when buying new windows you get to choose exactly what features you want. Do you want casement windows that swing out on a hinge or would you prefer glider windows that open side-to-side? Or maybe double-hung windows, with their versatile ability to open at both top and bottom, would be most useful. Simulate interacting with the windows in different rooms of your house to get a sense of what would be most easeful. Efficiency Window technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last 30 years. Double-paned windows have become the industry standard. Offered both with and without argon gas, double-glazed windows can reduce your home’s heat loss by up to 50 percent, paying for themselves in energy savings. There are also UV-filtering and tinted windows, and even triple-pane windows for extra insulation. Know your efficiency goals going in.

t’s 1979. The time is 3:15am and the party’s just getting started. There’s no sign outside the ratty-looking establishment at 77 White Street in Tribeca to tell you what’s going on inside. There are, however, some enticing clues. Loud music rattles the blind-covered storefront windows and thumps the raw brick walls and trash-strewn sidewalk. A cab pulls up and a sharply dressed four-piece band—all sharkskin, Cuban heels, and pointy toes and looking to kill with guitar cases in hand—bolts out and steps hurriedly through the building’s fast-opening-and-closing entrance, which teases with its escaping whiffs of illicit aromas and momentarily unobstructed snatches of imported UK postpunk dub. Rumors flicker that Bowie, Warhol, and Debbie Harry are lurking within. Between you and the chain that defines the perimeter around the sixstory structure’s mysterious doorway is a long line of some of the coolest- and weirdest-looking people you’ve ever seen. They all want in. And whatever is going on inside this place, you want to get in there and get swept up in it, too. Something tells you that if you stay cool—and wait long enough—you just might. First, though, you’ll have to get past Richard Boch, whose job is to decide who gets in and who walks.You’re standing in front of the Mudd Club, one of New York’s legendary nightspots. Open your eyes and it’s 2018. The club, along with far too many of the colorful figures who frequented it—and most of Manhattan’s edgy allure—is long gone. Instead of piss-and-pot-scented, wheat paste-postered alleys, this afternoon’s setting is Boch’s meticulously maintained Kinderhook country home. Tabletops are stacked neatly with 1970s and ’80s underground New York publications and archival boxes. The living room is adorned with framed photos taken by Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith, a large Warhol, and several of the owner’s own abstract creations, which he makes in an airy studio behind the house. The clean white walls seem a long way from the dirty White Street of nearly four decades ago, which Boch vividly revisits in The Mudd Club (Feral House), a new book about his time as the doorman of the fabled venue, which was open from 1978 to 1983. 9/18 CHRONOGRAM ARTS & CULTURE 71

“The club’s name kept popping up in articles I was reading,” says Boch, who for the book drew on the recollections of over 200 interviewees in addition to his own. “Its reputation had increased exponentially. Legs McNeil [Punk magazine cofounder and Please Kill Me author] told me, ‘Richard, you have to write this book—it’s your story.’ When I first talked about it with my agent, though, I was told people were tired of reading about the ’70s. But then there was this ‘revival of the revival’ of interest in that period. Word got around that I was writing a book about the Mudd Club and [late Feral House founder] Adam Parfrey contacted me, saying he was really interested in it. The New York Times did a feature on the book when it came out, and at the reading I did for it in the Lower East Side, people were lining up hours before I went on.” The Mudd Club was opened in October 1978 by arts maven Steve Mass with the assistance of art curator Diego Cortez and scenester Anya Phillips. Named for Samuel Alexander Mudd, the doctor who treated the fugitive John Wilkes Booth, it wasn’t so much a nightclub as it was the Warhol Factory’s insider pop-art/absurdist aesthetic translated to an intimate public space (the first-floor legal capacity was 300 but often more than 400 were packed in) that also happened to have a bar, music, performance art, readings, films, and bizarre theme parties that probed the boundaries of PC taste (the Joan Crawford Mother’s Day Celebration: “Maternal attire suggested. No wire coat hangers permitted.”). Random, Downtown-curious celebs—anyone from the Rolling Stones to Lauren Hutton, John McEnroe, Bella Abzug, Frank Zappa, various “SNL” stars, Caroline Kennedy, and Princess Caroline of Monaco—would turn up. And of course, this being New York in the ’70s, the Mudd—or simply, Mudd, as it was known to regulars—was also a nexus of Olympian drug use (cocaine and Quaaludes were king and queen, respectively) and wild sex (postpickup and on-premises). But, bacchanalian undercurrent aside, there was artistically important stuff that happened here. Stuff that continues to ripple through contemporary culture. “We closed down the ’70s and ushered in the ’80s,” muses Boch. Punk was already well underway at neighboring CBGB and Max’s Kansas City by the time the Mudd Club came along. But the vibe at those venues was closer to that of a straight-up rock ’n’ roll joint. At Mudd, selling beers to rockers wasn’t the priority: getting weird was. Since it was run by gallery aesthetes and not traditional bar owners, the artsy, Dadaist roots of the punk wave 72 ARTS & CULTURE CHRONOGRAM 9/18

were farther to the fore at the White Street space, putting a different spin on the heads of the musicians and others who were present. Mass and crew were laser-sharp with their musical bookings: The B-52’s played on opening night and soonafter contemporaries like Talking Heads (who namecheck the club in “Life During Wartime”), the Cramps, Nico, Johnny Thunders, Suicide, Richard Hell, X, Joe Jackson, and even U2 performed (the latter to about 20 people in December 1980), as did bands from the then-peaking no wave (Lydia Lunch, DNA) and nascent hardcore (Black Flag, Flipper) scenes. But so did elders like Sam and Dave, Martha Reeves, and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins; cabaret-styled acts like Klaus Nomi; and, in an unannounced appearance, Judas Priest, whose singer, Rob Halford, was a Mudd regular. Fashion designers Betsey Johnson, Ana Sui, and Stephen Sprouse and artists like Keith Haring, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jean-Michel Basquiat were Mudd habitués as well (Basquiat’s band Gray, which also featured filmmakers Vincent Gallo and Michael Holman, played; so did Jim Jarmusch’s Del-Byzanteens), and Beat icon William S. Burroughs read there. It was also at 77 White that Brooklyn graffiti artist Fab Five Freddy introduced hip-hop culture to the Downtown scene, influencing Blondie’s 1981 hit “Rapture” and greatly helping to bring rap to a worldwide audience. To borrow Boch’s words, the Mudd Club was, “an incredible incubator for talent.” And it was almost by chance that he ended up working there. “I’d moved to New York in 1976 and started going there when it was new,” says Boch, a Long Island native who studied printmaking and painting at the University of Connecticut. “My friend Pat Wadsley had written this big article about it for the Soho Weekly News and mentioned me in that. Up until then, the club had been sort of secret. No one really knew where it was. [Drag performer] Joey Arias was working the door, but after the article came out the attendance started getting crazy and Joey wasn’t letting certain people in because he didn’t know who they were. So Pat told Steve to give me a call. I met him there that Friday, told him who I was, and all he said was ‘Oh, be here at midnight on Saturday.’” Positioned outside the door, Boch granted and denied entrance to the prospective revelers before him. Mass had certain guidelines about who to let in— squares and troublemakers were discouraged; artists and interesting types were encouraged—and trusted Boch’s judgement. “He liked me because I knew a

lot of people, but mainly he liked me because he knew that even if I didn’t know someone personally I still knew who they were,” the author explains. But that didn’t mean celebrity status guaranteed admission; attitude also counted for a lot. Boch once turned away Paul Simon after the singer, grumpy and impatient about waiting in line, griped, “Hey! Do you know who I am?!” The Mudd’s exclusive door policy led some to accuse it of being elitist. Boch, though, is unwavering in his defense of the rules to this day. “On busy nights people had to leave before we could let more people in, it was as simple as that,” he says. “It was a ‘club’ in the true sense of the word. Actually, it was more like a party than a nightclub. And when you’re having a party you get to decide who you want to attend, right?” Generally, Boch was liked and respected by the staff and clubgoers. “Richard had the right radar for being the person on the door,” says Bush Tetras guitarist Pat Place, whose band frequently played the club. “He had the exact right personality and he was a responsible guy. He might be completely loaded, like a lot of us were back then, but he was always on time.” Besides those by Place’s group, some of Boch’s other favorite Mudd Club performances include the Psychedelic Furs’ first US shows (1980), a Talking Heads taping for the BBC (1979; viewable on YouTube), and a night by Marianne Faithfull, who returned from obscurity for a legendarily shambolic 1980 set. “It was for the launch of her Broken English album,” he says. “She’d been hanging out with [Rolling Stones muse] Anita Pallenberg, doing God knows what. She crashed and burned—but it was amazing to watch.” Reading Boch’s book, one gets the sense that, despite his direct connection to the scene literally swirling around him, he often felt disconnected from it. Was the gatekeeper secretly an outsider himself? “I’d mix and mingle with all of these people inside the club,” he says. “Other than the people from the Patti Smith Group and [transgender fashion model] Teri Toye, who lived with me for a while, though, I was never really fully all right with anyone. But the people I hung out with the most then were the people I got high with, so some of [the detached feeling] was from the drugs.” The drugs. As expected, Boch’s position made him somewhat susceptible to the bribes—often imbibe-able bribes—of interlopers who wanted in.This would ultimately prove to be a problem for the 26-year-old doorman and aspiring painter, who was already partying plenty hard outside of work. “People would turn me on to whatever they had,” Boch remembers. “If they were driving, I’d just hop in their car and get high while we drove around the block. It was crazy.” After 18 wild months on the job, the lines, so to speak, between work and play were becoming increasingly blurred. When he wasn’t on the clock—and often when he was—Boch was hanging out inside the club, drinking for free and dancing up a storm. In November 1980, sensing he’d gone over the edge and for the sake of his well-being should remove himself from the Mudd scene, he left for a better-paying spot as the doorman of the Peppermint Lounge on West 45th Street. But, of course, his demons just followed him there. “I thought a change might save my mental and physical health—but I was wrong,” says Boch with a laugh. “The decision-making process was all a bit drug-addled.” After six months Uptown, he went back Downtown to work at Max’s Kansas City owner Mickey Ruksin’s later venture, One University Place. It took the 1983 overdose deaths of Ruskin and another close friend, Pretenders bassist Pete Farndon, to get him to at last put the drugs aside; the booze went next, in 1987, and the rise of AIDS, which claimed Klaus Nomi, B-52’s’ guitarist Ricky Wilson, and so many other Mudd Clubbers, steered Boch toward safer sex. He moved into the restaurant management field, where he continues to work today when he isn’t painting, and divides his days between the Murray Street loft he managed to hold on to and the Kinderhook house, which he purchased in 2002. Packed with photos and images of gig fliers and ads, The Mudd Club collates Boch’s short, stand-alone essays into a dreamlike narrative that matches the freewheeling nights of the titular venue. Currently, the 64-year-old is assembling an archive of Mudd memorabilia and formulating his next book, about “sexual misadventure with clubland as the backdrop.” Examining the era from this end, does he think there will ever be another place like the Mudd Club? “Not in Manhattan,” he says. “It was all pre-gentrification then, the last stand of New York bohemia and the beginning of DIY. But for people reading the book, I hope that they get a sense of the history and what it was like to survive and create in a New York that doesn’t exist anymore. And I hope it inspires them to find their own creative paths and follow them.”

he Woodstock Film Festival is back for its 19th year, with a lineup of bold, boundary-flouting independent films, panels, concerts, and special events taking place from October 10 through 14. Though festival organizers are keeping most of their cards close to the vest for the time being, they did reveal that Julie Taymor and Matthew Heineman will receive the Honorary Maverick Award and Filmmaker Award of Distinction, respectively. Julie Taymor: Maverick Spirit Taymor’s success has translated across the stage and onto the screen, her work earning her Tony, Emmy, and Grammy wins, as well as an Oscar nomination. Woodstock Film Festival Executive Director and cofounder Meira Blaustein said Taymor is ideally suited for the Honorary Maverick Award. “She’s amazing, probably one of the most fiercely independent filmmakers of today,” Blaustein says. "A true artist, both in the theater and on the screen.” Taymor’s extensive credits as a stage director include “M. Butterfly,” “Grounded,” “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” and “The Lion King,” for which she received the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical. Taymor’s film credits include a pair of Shakespearean adaptations, Titus and The Tempest, as well as the acclaimed musical drama set to tunes by the Beatles, Across the Universe, which will be screened in celebration of its 10th anniversary during this year’s Woodstock Film Festival. Taymor’s next screen project will be My Life on the Road, a biographical drama about Gloria Steinem starring Julianne Moore. “Julie is a director who marches to her own drum. She has a unique vision, an incredible artistic eye, and is one of the most innovate filmmakers of today,” Blaustein says. “I’m thrilled that she is going to be here and that we can give her the Maverick. She’s a hero of mine and an inspiration to countless filmmakers, young and old.” Heineman Shines Recipient of this year’s Filmmaker Award of Distinction, Heineman is perhaps best known for his documentaries, though his first foray into narrative filmmaking, A Private War, will be the closing night film at the festival. Heineman’s documentaries include Escape Fire:The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, Cartel Land, and City of Ghosts, a film about Syrian media activists. A PrivateWar is a biographical drama about the late journalist Marie Colvin, who died while covering the Syrian civil war in 2012. The film stars Rosamund Pike as Colvin. Heineman won an Emmy for the work and has been nominated for an Oscar.

“He’s one of the boldest and most respected documentary filmmakers of today. Even though he’s so young, he has achieved not only commercial but critical success,” Blaustein says. “He’s brought us many harrowing stories with his documentary films, and now he’s venturing into the narrative world, taking his unflinching, bold and unique eye into the scripted format. I’m thrilled that we can both show his new film and honor him.” While the 19th Annual Woodstock Film Festival’s full program won’t be released until later in September, Blaustein said that attendees can look forward to the return of the virtual reality lounge, which made a well-received debut at the festival last year. “By including virtual reality experiences, we are taking today’s visual storytelling and moving forward with tomorrow's trends,” Blaustein says. “I’m glad that we’re able to include this very contemporary art form at the festival; VR is highly exciting and must be experienced live in order to fully understand and appreciate it.” New this year is the inclusion of work created during an intensive threeweek youth film lab run by the Woodstock Film Festival. Three films produced during the summer course will be shown as part of the annual teen film program, traditionally taking place on the Friday of the festival, October 12. “The film lab is something I’m very proud of,” Blaustein says. “It was inspiring to see the process—three full weeks where local teenagers got to immerse themselves in all aspects of filmmaking and create some great films with a group of professional filmmakers and instructors. It was an experience to remember for all participants. And the films are wonderful—you can see them at the festival.” In keeping with the communal spirit of the Woodstock Film Festival, movies will be shown not only in Woodstock, but also in Saugerties, Kingston, Rhinebeck, and Rosendale. “We’re going to have some really great panels in Woodstock at the festival,” Blaustein says. “And there will be parties galore. People are coming here from literally all corners of the world.” The 19th Annual Woodstock Film Festival will run from October 10 through October 14. The full schedule of films, workshops, and parties will be released in September. VisitWoodstockfilmfestival.org for more information. 9/18 CHRONOGRAM ARTS & CULTURE 75

NIGHTLIFE HIGHLIGHTS Handpicked by music editor Peter Aaron for your listening pleasure.

Fluct performs at Basilica Soundscape in Hudson this month.

ATE BIT, BRANDON LEWIS TRIO, SIR/REAL September 8. Musical events at the ornate 1872 Howland Cultural Center largely lean toward chamber music, jazz, or folk, and rarely mix genres—which makes this eclectic evening an interesting proposition. Topping the triple bill are tatted-up pop punkers Ate Bit, who debuted in 2016 with No Space Like Home; their new lineup includes members of noted Boston band Buddha Heroes. In the middle slot is spiritual jazz outfit the Brandon Lewis Trio, whose leader has worked with legends like William Parker and Gerald Cleaver and explored hip-hop, funk, and experimental styles. Newly launched prog-metal unit Sir/Real should please fans of Tool and the like. (Broadway in Beacon presents “The Pirates of Penzance” September 23; Fred Zeppelin frolics September 29.) 8pm. $10. Beacon. (845) 831-4988; Howlandculturalcenter.org

CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH September 15. One of those archetypal blog-buzzing Brooklyn bands of the early oughties, indie art poppers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are the vehicle of singer-songwriter Alec Ounsworth. In 2009, after a taste-making, five-year run, the group disbanded. The hiatus didn’t last, though: They reformed with a new configuration in 2011 and in 2014 released Only Run, which is regarded by many as their best album and features a guest appearance by the National’s Matt Berninger. Here, Ounsworth brings the CYHSY operation to Colony in support of their most recent release, 2017’s The Tourist. (Ted Leo turns up September 16; Peter Case croons September 19.) 7pm. $20, $25.

CD REVIEWS

ROCKET NUMBER NINE RECORDS

BILL BROVOLD SUPERSTAR

Let me say, as a musician, record producer, and longtime feisty rock critic, putting out a cassette album in 2018 is silly, a hipster attention grab for all the wrong reasons. Good lord, stop. Having said that, if one was to do so, guitarist Bill Brovold’s Superstar would be the right one to put out. It harks back to the homemade cassette culture of the ’80s with a series of instrumental pieces—not quite jams, but some not quite compositions either—that veer from circus-like (“Coney Island”) to dreamy (“Growth of the Soil”), from organ skronk (“Kid with the Flu”) to guitar sweetness (“The Long Walk”). It’s always interesting, if occasionally vexing.When Brovold, a Rhys Chatham mate, joins with horns (supplied by Johnny Evans and Gustav Brovold) on the nearly 10-minute, suite-like “Absent Friends,” the effect is lovely in a meditative yet barrelhouse free jazz way. Dub one! Publiceyesore.com. —Michael Eck

RENÉ BAILEY GOOD OLD SONGS LONE PINE RECORDS

Miss René Bailey is feeling the spirit, and she’s set on inspiring you, too. A local gospel legend since the early ’70s, Bailey, who’s performed with Louis Armstrong, B.B. King, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, and Dave Brubeck, recently released Good Old Songs, a dozen Georgia-childhood gospel favorites expressed with her unique style of soul and grace. For the album she gathered a large array of vocalists and percussion, horn, string, and keyboard players and maneuvered from church choral director to her first studio recording. “You Can’t Hurry God” is a jazzy, horn-based opener to getcha moving and stomping, as is the organ-loaded “Until I Found the Lord,” which is delivered with her exhilarating signature vibrato. She dulcifies her set with the softer praises of cherished favorites “Rock of Ages” and “Glory, Glory Hallelujah.” Might have to sneak on down to Samsonville Methodist Church on a fine Sunday morning and get a dose of the glorious “Lady Sunshine.” Lonepineroad.com. —Sharon Nichols

TWO DARK BIRDS BOW VFIB RECORDINGS

Steve Koester’s project Two Dark Birds is brimming with pastoral energy and light. A synesthetic might describe the sound of Bow, the band’s third album, as autumnal yellow and subdued auburn, perhaps perfectly paired with a mulled wine or hot cider on an early October evening. The songs are centered—as all good folk tunes are—around the voice and gently strummed acoustic guitar of Phoenicia resident Koester, who throughout the narrative arcs of the songs invites swirling worlds of strings, dirge-y mellotrons and lap steels, and lilting vocal harmonies to come join him for a short spell. There’s a quiet dignity to the songs, no grand or elaborate veneering. The economy of language within the instrumentation props up the true focus: the words and melody, which, strong enough on their own, are only aided along in the company of the sparse arrangements.

Put a Bow on It

STAMELL STRINGED INSTRUMENTS

n the highest echelons of the music world, stringed instruments regularly sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. (In 2011, an 18th-century Stradivarius sold for $15.9 million!) While only a tiny portion of the world traffics in this tier of instruments, craftsmanship is highly prized at every level, with construction methods and wood resonance impacting sound quality. The production of instruments in the violin family, which includes the viola, cello, and double bass, is still predominantly based on designs developed by Italian craftsmen in the 16th century. The finest examples of these bowed wonders are as glorious to gaze upon as they are to hear, made by hand using the finest woods, varnishes, and age-old construction methods passed down from one generation of master luthiers to the next. One of America’s leading contemporary instrument makers is Stamell Stringed Instruments, which was founded in 1989 by owner and craftsman Matt Stamell. “My background is in folk music,” says Stamell, who began making instruments in 1974 as a student at Hobart College and was mentored by noted luthier Don Warnock at Boston University’s artisan program. “I’ve spent my whole life studying, making, and playing these instruments. So today I’m able to use that experience to help people select the instrument that’s exactly right for them, which is something a big-box music store that happens to sell violin-family instruments can’t really do.” The business’s flagship store in Amherst, Massachusetts, opened in 1989 and now employs a staff of eight. In 2008, Stamell expanded to open a second location in downtown Poughkeepsie, where three employees operate a workshop and stringed instrument showroom. In addition to making, repairing, restoring, appraising, and selling instruments, Stamell also offers instrument rentals, an option mainly used by young students, who have the option put their rental fees toward the purchase of an instrument. He was inspired to open the Poughkeepsie location by his company’s 20-year relationship with the Stringendo Youth Orchestra. Founded in 2001, Stringendo provides a forum for Hudson Valley students to develop their musical interests via financial aid incentives and low tuition costs, with a goal of supplementing and enhancing string music education in the region. Celebrated instrument maker Andranik Gaybaryan, whose creations are owned by such esteemed players as Gil Shaham, Frank Peter Zimmerman, and Oleh Krysa, is employed at the Amherst store.Troy Harris, widely revered for his handmade mandolins, is the Poughkeepsie shop’s full-time luthier-in-residence. “We’re lucky—with each location we’re in areas that are comparatively rural, but also very cultured,” Stamell says. “So there’s a good local client base, although because of our reputation we also regularly draw customers from far outside the region— later today I’m meeting a musician who’s flying over from Norway to purchase a cello from us.” Another attraction of the Amherst facility is its in-house concert series. The events, which Stamell hopes to begin hosting in Poughkeepsie soon, present artists from across genres (famed folksinger Jack Williams has been a guest performer), and often include dinner. The intimate performances are yet another manifestation of Stamell Stringed Instruments’ trademark personalized service. “Whenever someone buys an instrument from us, we take time with them, one on one, to adjust it to suit their needs and level of playing,” explains Stamell. “The base of our business has always been about the craft.” Stamellstring.com

LIFE ALONG THE HUDSON: THE HISTORIC COUNTRY ESTATES OF THE LIVINGSTON FAMILY PIETER ESTERSOHN, FOREWORD BY JOHN WINTHROP ALDRICH RIZZOLI, 2018, $85

Robert Livingston came to the American Colonies in 1673 from Scotland and started amassing land—162,248 acres of it—and wealth. His descendants built some of the most magisterial estates in the region. Architectural Digest photographer Estersohn profiled and photographed 35 historic homes built between 1730 to 1946, including such treasures as Clermont, Montgomery Place, and Wilderstein. Most are so traditionally maintained that it’s a shock to turn a page and spot an electric guitar and Fender amp lurking under an ancestral portrait at Teviot.

A novel that’s sadly relevant to recent revelations of clerical abuse in this country, Keady’s latest novel tracks the crimes of abuse in a rural Irish parish. At its center is the tale of a pedophile priest who has been transferred by his bishop when his crimes catch up with him. It is also the story of one of that priest’s victims in their quest for justice. The iniquities of the priest reverberate through the parish of Cranmore and his successor, the diocese of Kingsford, and the whole of Ireland.

Unclaimed Baggage Jen Doll

upstairs at murray’s

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2018, $17.99

en Doll is a journalist who penned the column “YA for Adults” for Atlantic Wire as well as a much-hyped article for New York magazine titled “The Thirtysomething Teen: An Adult YA Addict Comes Clean,” so it isn’t surprising that her debut young adult novel, Unclaimed Baggage, delivers a page-turning story of three unlikely friends navigating an abundance of current social issues confronting present-day teenagers. It’s Doll’s unflinching gaze at such complex and sometimes controversial themes that should appeal to any young person who has ever been underestimated for not being savvy enough to take on the challenges of the world around them. The trouble starts when Nell is yanked away from her suburban Chicago school, friends, and boyfriend to relocate to a small town in Alabama for her mother’s new job. There she meets Doris, a potential new friend. Doris hires her to work at Unclaimed Baggage, a store that resells the items found in the orphaned luggage that accumulates in airports across the country. Not only has Doris been recently promoted to manager, but she has a skill for finding things, and in the course of the novel she locates lost items like keys and even missing people. She is soon forced to hire Grant, the disgraced high school quarterback, and this oddball trio of the local misfit, the exiled Yankee, and the popular jock begin to develop new friendships with each other while heading down some unexpected paths to face some wrongs in their childhoods as they verge on becoming adults. Nell may have anticipated resigning herself to a dull summer in a small Southern town, but the issues making up the lives of her new friends and their families provide a modern-day Peyton Place. To name just a few of the issues: teenage alcoholism, sexual assault, unwanted pregnancy, sports-related injuries, deadbeat fathers, interracial prejudice, and religious zealots make up the novel’s plot lines, as well the current popular conflict in YA literature, bullying. But Doll takes this now well-reported issue to another level of empathy and forgiveness, such as when Doris returns the lost stuffed animal to her nemesis, the popular cheerleader, and glimpses backward to “the eight-year-old little girl who wanted a stuffed animal, got it, and then lost it and everything else.” Of course, the unclaimed baggage is not just the junk and valuables the three new friends sort through from the boxes and luggage that arrive daily at their job—and kudos for Doll for letting them find literal sunken treasure at one point! The lost baggage is Grant’s ruined career and reputation from drunken driving and one too many hard tackles; Nell’s long-distance boyfriend and the town’s (and even her own mother’s) concerns for their interracial romance; and Doris’s wounds from a childhood sexual assault and the death of her beloved Aunt. Doll manages to use this metaphor in a persistent yet subtle way that is reminiscent of Anne Tyler, at her best with The Accidental Tourist where the life of a travel writer with a tragic past is explained by his job that makes it impossible for him to stay too long in one place and grow attached. However, in this case the teenagers of Unclaimed Baggage long to become attached and be found for who they truly are by their friends and family, and, most importantly, themselves. Jen Doll will read and sign at the Golden Notebook in Woodstock at September 22 at 2 pm.

BECAUSE THE WORLD IS OWNED BY GUNS, I DON’T BELIEVE IN DOLPHINS OR GOD or science or hope anymore, not with this nut-job everything, this asystole, throbbing nothing, the way that days fall into the G-string of days, the days fucking and falling and puking and nodding and failing and filling and cocking and yesterday I heard a newscaster say that it was the anniversary of some atrocity I’d never heard of, as if there are so many massacres that we can’t even count, as if the newscasters have to throw their lines out into the lakes and see what barbed-wire fences sunk to the bottom they can get caught in, and when I say massacres, I mean acres, the fight for land, the pipeline having burst— and no one seems to know that the goddamn pipeline burst and no one seems to know that the goddamn pipeline burst —Ron Riekki

CONVERSATION OVERHEARD BETWEEN TWO MONARCH BUTTERFLIES Waiting for a friend outside of Subway, 2 Monarchs perched on top of a garbage can are engrossed in an animated conversation: It’s crazy! I just flew down from Sacramento. Everybody was freaked out. It’s weird, I thought it looked cool. The VFW barbecue was wild! I can’t tolerate the heat the way I used to. I heard we may soon make the list of endangered species. Don’t worry, what goes around, comes around. I spied some delicious hibiscus behind Macdonald’s. Watch out for monkeys in the trees, stinkbugs on the ground and the homicidal praying mantis. Do you ever miss being a caterpillar? I much preferred being cozy as a chrysalis. We’re luckier than people—we know how to live in the moment. Without being French, we got genuine joie-de-vivre. Let’s meet in Acapulco this winter.

HER BONES PREDICTED LONELINESS. She was a gossamer belladonna in the shade of night. Hašhur, tafaha, mílo, pomme, apple, she trained her tongue to share memory. We kissed & on her lips I tasted I would leave her. She was a nesting doll. We took our turns picking at her layers until we lost her smallest piece to unrestricted loneliness & she plunged into a bacchanal existence. (We were all descending those days.) She painted post-apocalyptic monsters across our eyelids in our sleep. They leached into our dreams & we huddled, crows in the rafters of old bones, passing dust past our lips & piecing together why pomegranates taste like sex/ history/severe death. Her heart beat against little infants of burning ships. If only she bared breast, she’d be acquitted for loveliness.

SO THE STORY GOES

DEAR OWL

For Ron When I told him I was a shapeshifter, he was not surprised. He had known women like me—mother, sisters, wives with wolves’ teeth for blood, owl’s talons for eyes. Most men don’t believe what they have when they have us so we ghost through their houses, leave webs in their beds. We are not elegant, whimsical; vapor trailing up mountainsides, courtesans sighing through closed doorways. We walk heavily, sip whiskey, hang laundry over lattice, trace naked bodies in sleep, wake with them crumpled beside us, grizzled and rare. His dark stare hung quietly over the bar. He brought small gifts, asked for only conversation, my loud laugh, held my shapes like a secret, his hands hardened by iron-work folded on the counter, wise from his ancestor’s lore that warned this magic is real—women like me disappear the moment you build the pedestal. Foolish in our youth, we wished to marry the stars but in spite of the tale, didn’t miss the earth; we return to pour scotch on the rocks, guard paintings of the night sky—we are pathfinders, stiletto-stompers, rain-keepers—certain men find us, palm open our wild, taste our skin on their shadows, believe.

THE GREAT ESCAPE

DISPATCH FROM A MICHELIN-STARRED CHEF’S TANNERSVILLE FARM AND TABLE By Alexandra Marvar

arrow, agrimony, devil’s paintbrush, buttercup—purple and yellow Catskill wildflowers line the grass path. We weave past the ruins of an old resort and through its once regal gardens on our way to a small pond. I’m wading through the meadow with Ryan Tate, and we’re going to ogle the trout that arrived this morning via coolers on the back of a flatbed truck. “Beaverkill Trout Hatchery stocked 75 fish here this morning. Full-sized trout. That means I need to get to work,” Tate says, “and come up with a program, like, right now. Before the heron come.” As we approach the pond’s edge, he hands me a scone. “What’s this?” I ask. “A scone.” he responds. “Strawberry shortcake. ...It’s for the fish.” These won’t just be any trout—they’ll be organic, local, and strawberry shortcake scone-raised trout. Tate is head chef at the Deer Mountain Inn, a restored lodge and boutique hotel on the mountain above Tannersville. He has long hair and two solid black bands tattooed around his right arm, above and below the elbow. He’s wearing a black Deer Mountain Inn t-shirt that says “Culinary” across the back. Tate’s culinary philosophy involves making the most of the ingredients around him. While we’re waiting for the new trout to reveal themselves, he tells me that he forages reindeer moss and red clover just across this field and ramps up the hill.We joke about his no-joke desire to forage frog legs next.This spring, he and his team tapped six maples in the woods behind the inn, harvesting six quarts of sap. Next year, they plan to tap 50. And the farm they’re planting feet from the kitchen door is now on its second season of herbs, squash, rhubarb, fennel, nasturtiums, tomatoes, and two kinds of blueberries. 84 FOOD & DRINK CHRONOGRAM 9/18

“Maybe we’ll have a big party down here, and have guests catch the fish, and then plank them around a big fire.” We are just about to give up on throwing makeshift fish food into the water. The soggy crumbs float around, neglected. Some shadowy bodies are visible below the surface, but it’s clear that trout have no interest in scones. I consider tossing what’s left of my pastry into the wildflowers but it feels somehow rude, so the remainder ends up in my jacket pocket with my notebook. We make our way back through the meadow to County Road 25 and, across it, to the inn. Suite Dreams The Deer Mountain Inn—the DMI—began as the summer estate of the Colgate family. In its next life, it may have been owned by Jack “Legs” Diamond, the famous, Prohibition-era bootlegging gangster who’s said to have taken a particular interest in Catskills real estate. Now, on 160-some wooded acres laced with trails, the cedar-shingled main house offers six guest rooms. Each suite, with its cozy nooks and dark wood details, is named for a person of local significance—even if that significance has been more or less forgotten by history. This list includes the original founder and some prominent visitors to the Onteora Club, a utopian artists’ retreat founded by Candace Wheeler and her brother Francis Thurber in 1887, known for hosting many a writer, painter, actor, and thinker (the Hudson River School painters, John Burroughs, Mark Twain) in its heyday. The private community lies barely a mile up the road.

Upstairs from the guest rooms is a cozy attic complete with red velvet billiards table, body-sized pillows, fireplace, flatscreen TV, and fine wine honor bar. Downstairs from the guest rooms, a sprawling dining room adjoins an intimate bar, mountain house art on the walls, and leather couches in the corners. The whole space is bookended by fireplaces and lit otherwise by a series of vintage lamps, antler-laden chandelier included. Wrapped around the front of the house, multiple levels of porches—offering no shortage of Adirondack chairs, log benches, and upholstered patio furniture—face the breathtaking mountain ridge on the horizon. Thursday through Sunday, when afternoons of hiking and lawn games wrap, the in-house restaurant opens for business. That’s where we find Tate again, running the show in the kitchen.

as Tate’s upstate move goes to show, when it comes to farm-to-table, you can always up the ante. The DMI’s everyday tavern menu features accessible classics. The sevencourse tasting menu ($72) changes seasonally. Request the accompanying wine pairing ($45) and risk losing count. The concept is organic, and, as Tate puts it, “evocative of nature.” His clever “Snail snails” come to mind. Snails, from a snail farm on the North Fork of Long Island, are braised, chopped, and blended with sautéed green garlic, scallion, and lemon zest into an escargot duxelles, which is then rolled into house-made puff pastry palmiers. The form echoes the flavor. “It looks like a snail, it tastes like a snail,” the server announced to our table when it was presented on a piece of slate draped in fresh green moss. It was part of the “savory snacks” chapter of the tasting menu, along with Snail’s Pace quail eggs rolled in hay ash and served in a bird’s nest, and tiny new potatoes “I wholeheartedly want this to be one of the best restaurants in the world—not encased in white clay, plated among stones to which they bear a strong resemjust in the the Catskills or New York,” Chef Tate tells me. blance. “It’s to make the potato multi-dimensional,” says Tate. “You’re getting When Tate helped open TriBeCa’s Le Restaurant, his food—artful, adven- this great snap from the potato that you’re not accustomed to.

Transported by Taste “You have to be evocative. Massimo Bottura said just this weekend, ‘Fifteen years ago my job was to make food that tasted good for you to enjoy. Now the chef’s job in a high-level restaurant is to transfer emotion to your palate.’ I mean, cooking should transport people. Even if it’s just a cheeseburger.” The tavern menu features Fried Chicken with sesame chili aioli and scallions ($14), Trout Almondine ($25), and the DMI Cheeseburger ($18) with caramelized onions, Muenster cheese, and “special sauce” on toasted brioche. Cheeseburgers, in particular, transport Tate back home to Michigan: “It should remind you of how your mom cooked in the summer, when it was too hot to turn on the oven in the house. My mom made cheeseburgers and milkshakes. We ate strawberry shortcake every Sunday for a whole summer one time. It was just too hot to cook.” “I’m trying to get people to have more than just a palate experience: Memory, olfactory, all the senses are involved. The dish may not be familiar, but the flavor combinations are something you have come across before.” Climbing the Mountain At the east end of the Borscht Belt, the Deer Mountain Inn has been part of a long, cultural legacy of family dining: Big shared plates. Eastern European fare. Potatoes definitely not encased in clay. The offering of the tasting menu (petite individual dishes, the same for all diners, served in sequence) is a new concept here. While it was tried for a time at Hudson’s Fish & Game, Tate is the first to endeavor it on this side of the river, aiming to lure diners hungry for a culinary experience that’s fresh and different. Will Deer Mountain Inn build a broad reputation? The best in the region? The best in the state? Will travelers and locals alike drive up the mountain toward Onteora to indulge in perhaps the world’s only “Snail snail,” resting on its beautiful little mossy slate plate? As I leave Tate to his prep for an 80-person private event that evening and start my winding drive back down the mountain, I remember with a gleeful start the half strawberry shortcake scone still tucked in my jacket pocket. A bite takes me back to Tate’s Michigan summers, and to the trout pond an hour ago.

Brew U

A ONE-DAY CRASH COURSE IN BEER

n the Hudson Valley we've watched as communities have filled up with breweries. The number of facilities in the state has grown over 300 percent in four years, from 95 in 2012 to 320 in 2016, and the number continues to climb as New York becomes the fifth-largest beer-producing state in the country. Hutch Kugeman, who was the first brewer at Crossroads Brewing Co. in Athens in 2010, was among the established brewers who saw the growth firsthand. Kugeman joined The Culinary Institute of America in 2015 to run its partnership facility with Brooklyn Brewery and head up the college’s Art and Science of Brewing course. That relationship was a sign that the culinary world had fully accepted craft beer as part of the fine-dining experience and recognized its profit potential. Not long after came Brew U, the CIA’s annual beer bonanza, which returns for its third year on October 6.You’ll have the opportunity to meet Kugeman, head CIA brewer, and pick the brains of other New York State brewers and

beer experts, all while sipping a selection of libations. This year, the list of participating breweries and cideries includes heavy hitters Angry Orchard, Brooklyn Brewery, Sloop Brewing, Peekskill Brewing, Hudson Ale Works, Newburgh Brewing, and more than a dozen others. “We are thrilled to be bringing together this special selection of breweries to one event on campus,” says Kugeman. “I really want to offer attendees a taste of beers that are a bit harder to find and have really interesting and unique flavors.” For those who want to broaden their beer horizons, Brew U will be hosting a series of seminars, led by CIA and visiting brewing experts. They include the ever-popular Beer & Cheese Pairing; An Introduction to Trappist Ales (the monastic beer styles of Belgium); The Woods & the Wilds, a vertical tasting of barrel-aged and sour beers; and Why Freshness Matters, a vertical tasting of IPAs brewed in different years. The CIA expects attendance of around 500 guests. Want to beat the rush? Purchase a VIP ticket to get a jump start on the fun. Doors open for VIP ticket holders at 1pm for exclusive beer and food tastings, plus a gift bag. General admission is open at 2pm, and includes all beer and food during the event, plus a tasting glass. All guests will have access brewery tours and educational seminars. Brew U 2018 will take place on October 6, 2-5pm. VIP admission is $120 for the public, and $105 for CIA alumni. Tickets for general admission are $85. Designated driver tickets are also available for $35. All guests must be at least 21 years of age. CIAchef.edu/brewu. 9/18 CHRONOGRAM FOOD & DRINK 91

GIRL POWERS, ACTIVATED BLAZING A TRAIL NATIONWIDE, GIRLS ON THE RUN HELPS GIRLS BUILD CONFIDENCE, RESILIENCE, AND JOY. by wendy k agan

ack in 2011, when Kim Quimby’s older daughter was in third grade, she started talking in a way that her mother didn’t recognize. “She would say things like, ‘I’m not pretty,’ ‘I’m ugly,’ ‘I’m fat,’ and I thought, ‘Where is my child getting this?’” recalls the mother of two. “We don’t talk like that in our house. We don’t even have a scale.” Quimby felt an intense need to research what was going on in our society and the forces that seemed to be damaging girls at such a young age. In one of her online searches about girls’ self-esteem, she stumbled across an organization with the mission of paving a different kind of route through girlhood. It was called Girls on the Run, with “teams” nationwide, like Girl Scout troops, and a science-based curriculum that wove together running games with group activities designed to empower girls in grades three through eight. Each session in the spring and fall culminated in a celebratory 5K run where photos showed the girls’ faces flush with endorphins and self-assured joy. Quimby wanted some of that for her daughter, but when she reached out for more information, she found that her region of New York didn’t have a Girls on the Run council. Based in Cornwall-on-Hudson, she was told that she’d need to start a council herself for the Hudson Valley area, a process that required a lengthy application, an attorney, and an accountant. “I had a career, a husband, two kids, a house—there was no way I could take on something

like that,” she thought initially. As luck would have it, several months later Girls on the Run connected Quimby with an interested mom in the next town who happened to be an attorney, and that woman had a close friend who was an accountant. “Everything started to fall into place,” she says.The three women met monthly for a year, and they launched Girls on the Run Hudson Valley in the fall of 2012. That inaugural season produced two teams with 20 girls total—12 in Cornwall and 8 in Newburgh. Fast-forward six years later, and the regional organization now reaches nearly 2,000 girls a year in Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, and Rockland counties. “That first season was an incredible experience,” says Quimby. “The girls would run up to me so excited, ‘Coach Kim, what are we going to do today?’ They were so enthusiastic about the lessons, the activities, the running. Everybody wanted to do more and more.” After two years coaching, she quit her corporate communications job to devote herself full-time as the executive director of Girls on the Run Hudson Valley. Her older daughter is a sophomore in high school now, and Quimby doesn’t know most of the kids registering today, but the experience still tugs at her heart. “Every time we get to that 5K at the end of the season, I have tears in my eyes because these girls are crossing the finish line joyfully, arms up, so proud of themselves at what they’ve accomplished. It’s an awesome thing to see.”

Breaking Out of the Girl Box Girls on the Run started in the 1990s as the brainchild of Molly Barker, a fourtime Hawaii Ironman Triathlete and recovered alcoholic who had hit rock bottom a few years previously and felt like running saved had her life. During a run one day, Barker had an epiphany that she had grown up living in the “girl box”—a trap that many girls fall into in their adolescent years, when perceived societal expectations seem to push girls into obsessing over their looks, bodies, popularity, and other outward qualities. When she was running she felt free, and she wanted to help young girls in particular to untangle from the cultural stereotypes and pressures that hold them back and keep them from realizing their full potential. Girls on the Run started with one team of 13 girls in Barker’s hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, in its first season. The idea caught fire, and it steadily grew from coast to coast; in 2015, the program registered its one millionth girl. You don’t have to be a jock to do Girls on the Run; instilling a love of physical activity in girls is just one piece of the larger picture. “We’re not trying to build world-class runners here,” explains Quimby. “Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a science-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. More than anything, we want to help strengthen their inner spirit and celebrate what makes them one of a kind.” Part of that mission is showing them that they can achieve their goals and feel good—for example, the 5K event at the end of the season. “You set a goal, you work towards it, and you can accomplish it, and that’s all going to build your confidence. It’s not about being competitive; we’re celebrating everybody. The girls’ abilities are all different. Some girls will only walk, and that’s okay. Our motto is ‘You can walk, run, skip, or hop.’You just have to keep moving forward.” Annette McTigue, a Girls on the Run trained coach and mother of seven who lives in New Windsor, remembers how much she disliked running in physical education class, though she enjoys it now. “Back in elementary school, you have to run that timed mile and nobody wants to do that. There’s no one there to say, ‘You can do it! It’s not as hard as you think it is!’” The supportive environment at Girls on the Run changes all that.Yet like Quimby, she’s eager to clarify that this is not a running club. “It’s not about running,” she says. “It’s about empowering girls to be strong girls and growing those girls into strong women.” The curriculum focuses on helping girls build skills for navigating their increasingly complex social worlds, standing up for themselves and others, resolving conflict, managing strong emotions, building self-esteem, and supporting one another along the way. Sessions touch on nutrition and exercise for wellbeing and joy, and with each meeting, the girls run (or walk) a little bit farther on the track as they work toward their goal of completing the 5K (3.1 mile) event. “This is a safe zone,” adds McTigue. “There is no judgment here. No one is going to knock you down. This is about building you up.” Two Programs for Two Stages of Girlhood As Girls on the Run evolved nationwide, it split into two groups with separate curricula: one for grades 3–5 (8 to 11 years old) and another for grades 6–8 (11 to 14 years old). Tailored to different developmental stages, the curricula speak to what girls are going through in each group and give them tools appropriate to their ages. Teams meet twice a week over 10 weeks in an afterschool program with a $175 registration fee. Sliding fees and scholarships are available, and no girl is turned away because of cost (the organization will even provide running shoes and clothes to girls who need them). In the practice sessions, kids in the younger teams learn about the power of kindness and connection, how to have confidence in themselves, and how to find and develop their strengths. “We spend the whole middle section, maybe four to five lessons, just on friendships,” says Quimby. “We talk about choosing your friends, and not needing to be friends with the popular girl if they don’t make you feel good.” During running games they learn about “star power”—a way to pull from within to find encouragement and the inner strength to keep going. “When we do a practice 5K, we have these cool signs to hold up that say, ‘Touch here for star power,’” says McTigue. “It gives them a little boost that says, ‘I can do this.’” The girls also vote on a community impact project that they can work on together, seeing how even at a young age they can make a

difference in the world. One team gathered supplies for a local animal shelter as their way of giving back. For the older group, a curriculum called Heart & Sole addresses some of the more complex issues that girls face in middle school. As social worlds grow more complicated, girls at this age may have to negotiate the “queen bee” mentality, where certain girls dominate the scene. Instead of simply accepting that world order, girls can question it and let their hearts decide what’s right. “It’s about how you allow yourself to be treated in every relationship that you’re in—your friends, family, peers, teachers, everyone,” says McTigue. “You get to determine how you will allow yourself to be treated.” The mixed messages of social media also need disentangling. “I think social media is bringing them down and often making them feel excluded,” notes Quimby. “There’s a lot of fake stuff out there. We’re teaching them how to decipher it.” In addition, the

older girls gain the skills to manage stress, particularly in spring, when state testing hits the schools. Sometimes coaches will suggest that the girls run a lap first, to get it out of their system. “They come back so light and free, and then we can start the practice,” says Quimby. Moving Through the World with Intention Drawing from science and psychology, Girls on the Run uses research as a touchstone for its curricula, which is all about helping girls live lives of greater intention, awareness, and potential. Studies show that between the ages of 8 and 14, girls’ confidence plummets by 30 percent. “The other statistic we know is that girls start losing their voice at this age,” says Quimby. “They stop raising their hand because they’re afraid that someone is going to laugh at what they say.” Or they hold their tongue, lest peers think they’re too bossy. Girls in their teens can exhibit a loss of leadership confidence, which tracks with the shortage of women in leadership roles later in life and the gender pay gap that continues to hurt women. Research exists, too, supporting programs like Girls on the Run as a potential countermeasure to forces like these. A study of program participants by Maureen R. Weiss, PhD, a youth development expert, found that 97 percent of the girls were using the skills they learned at Girls on the Run at home, at school, and with friends, applying them to situations and dynamics in real life. And girls who were the least active before joining Girls on the Run increased their physical activity level by more than 40 percent, often maintaining or increasing that level after the program’s end. Possible benefits go beyond the physical, says McTigue. “It’s about saying, ‘I am important, I am strong across the board. It’s my spirit, my body, my brain.’ It’s about giving yourself the confidence to be a good person.” RESOURCES Girls on the Run Hudson Valley Girlsontherunhv.org Girls on the Run International Girlsontherun.org 9/18 CHRONOGRAM WHOLE LIVING 95

EVENT PREVIEWS & LISTINGS FOR SEPTEMBER 2018

Lost & Found “It’s like I curated a group show, but I made all the work in it,” remarks Susan Bates about “Exhibit B,” her art show at the Opalka Gallery in Albany. The pieces include sculpture, installations, collages, drawings, and paintings. Bates was the founding director of the Art & Culture Program at Albany International Airport from 1998 to 2016. Her innovative exhibitions were recognized throughout the nation. One of the meanings of this show’s title, “Exhibit B,” is that Bates is better known for her curating; that’s exhibit A. This is her first solo exhibition in the region. “My curatorial practice and my art practice have been hard to separate,” Bates observes. The core of this show is a massive assembly of “found objects” Bates has accumulated over decades. “She has a collector’s eye,” says Judie Gilmore, director of the Opalka Gallery. “Her studio is almost like a cabinet of curiosities.” Gilmore is referring to the heterogenous collections of Renaissance-era princes, which included fossils, art, taxidermy, archaeological curios, and what we now call “antiques.” In the studio, Bates arranges her collections into “taxonomies,” families of similar objects, some of which are reproduced in “Exhibit B.” For example, Taxonomies of Wood includes Adirondack souvenir plaques, rulers, and nautical ashtray holders, laid out in precise and pleasing rows. The word “taxonomy” suggests living creatures, and, in fact, the nautical ashtray holders do resemble single-celled organisms. Bates has held onto some of her eccentric gadgets for 25 or 30 years. In some ways, these are “rescue objects,” like rescue animals. “They’re pretty ephemeral,” Bates says of her installations. “The way they’re assembled is pretty wacky. Some are just stacked, and some are held together with Velcro.” She reworks and recombines her constituent pieces for different settings, and retitles them. Often she employs cable ties (also known as “zap straps”), plastic fasteners useful for tying cables together. Her artwork is a game like Scrabble, where unities are dissolved and reassembled. “I like things to be luscious and beautiful,” she admits. Many of the oddities Bates collects—even utilitarian items like a wire egg poacher or a wooden shot put—have a Victorian elegance that’s glaringly absent in the modern USA. One of her goals is artistic recycling. “I think about making artwork, and I think about the environmental concerns,” remarks Bates. “Why should there be more stuff in the world? I mean, there’s so many resources available that are just going to get discarded.” The drawings are also, in a sense, “found objects,” because Bates executes them spontaneously, without conscious intention; they record discoveries she’s made in her mind. Many of the drawings resemble an industrial designer’s sketches. Bates is an inventor of imaginary objects with imaginary uses, and a collector of real objects with often obscure utility. Three glass cases at the center of the exhibit each contain 12 ink drawings. The three series are entitled “Animal,” “Vegetable,” and “Mineral,” as if they encompass all of earthly life. In 2013, Bates did an installation at Chesterwood, the estate of the American sculptor Daniel Chester French, consisting of carefully deployed black and white aluminum targets. Now she’s taken the same targets, chopped them in half, and reconfigured them into a sculptural collage called Wink. “There were so many more possibilities with them cut in half— how I could arrange them,” Bates explains. The symmetry of each target has been severed, to create a larger symmetry. Domestic Tableau #1: Turf evokes a Zen altar composed of a wooden table, Styrofoam, Astroturf, yarn, a paper hat, and rubber dog toys. “Sharon Bates: Exhibit B” will remain at the Opalka Gallery at Sage College of Albany through October 13.

PHOTOGRAPHY "THE TRANS LIST"

Kylar Broadus, 2015

Nicole Maines, 2015

Trans-cendent What does it mean to be trans? The word trans is an umbrella term for people who do not conform to the sex they were assigned at birth. Within the trans community there are many self-identifiers, including transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, gender-fluid, and non-binary. There is a widespread lack of understanding in our society of what it means to be trans. People who identify as transgender endure discrimination, even violence. They face barriers to equality, including basic needs such as housing, educational opportunities, and employment. A new exhibition of charismatic portraits underscores the challenges of acceptance for transgender people. “Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Trans List,” an exhibition of 40 photographs and a film, opens in September at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz. Curated by Anastasia James, the show features portraits by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders of celebrities such as Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox, as well as trans people who are well known in the LGBTQ community, many of whom are activists. Included are US Army Sergeant Shane Ortega; Janet Mock, author, journalist, and television host; Kylar Broadus, professor of law and senior public policy counsel for the National LGBTQ Task Force; Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, an activist and veteran of the 1969 Stonewall Riots; Caroline Cossey, model and the first transgender woman to appear on the cover of Playboy; and Amos Mac, queer art connoisseur, photographer, producer, and publisher. Also on view is Greenfield-Sander’s documentary film The Trans List, which gives visitors an opportunity to learn more about the participants’ stories. Photographer and filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (b. 1952, Miami Beach) has received critical acclaim for his portraits of world leaders, actors, writers, artists, musicians, veterans, and more over the past four decades. His feature documentary Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart won a Grammy in 1999. Greenfield-Sander’s portraits are in numerous museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery. Greenfield-Sanders has a personal connection to SUNY New Paltz: his father-in-law, Joop Sanders, was a professor of art there from 1966 to 1985.

“The Trans List” is the result of a conversation between Anastasia James, the Dorsky’s Curator of Exhibitions and Programs, and Greenfield-Sanders about presenting exhibitions that are relevant to the student body and ask challenging and important questions. To engage students in a deeper conversation, James invited two students to curate an exhibition. The resulting show, “Alive and Yelling: Trans Zines and Radical Subcultures,” will be on view in the Dorsky Museum this fall alongside “The Trans List.” James is committed to embracing diversity and inclusion at the Dorsky Museum. She is a believer in the importance of allyship: of using your privilege (no matter how small) to take informed and accountable actions for those less privileged who struggle in the face of inequality. This principle guides Greenfield-Sanders in his choice of subject matter. He uses his influence in the art world to focus his lens on people who have been traditionally marginalized and discriminated against. He enables them to share their stories of identity, family, struggle, love, and accomplishment with a wider audience. “The Trans List” is part of a larger body of work titled Identity: Timothy Greenfield-Sanders The List Portraits, which includes “The Black List,” “The Latino List,” “The Out List,” and “The Women’s List.” “The Trans List” shows us that the experience of being transgender is different for every person. There are myriad forms of identity and many distinct stories in the transgender community. Above all, this exhibition makes it clear that trans people deserve the same rights as everyone else to live their lives as they choose, and to succeed and thrive. “Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Trans List” is on view through December 9 at the Samuel Dorsky Museum. Accompanying the show is an exhibition catalog with an interview between Anastasia James and Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

FOOD BERKSHIRE FERMENTATION FESTIVAL

Benjamin Wolfe, a microbiologist at Tufts University, runs the Science Corner at the Berkshire Fermentation Festival in Great Barrington, which takes place September 16.

Farm-to-Ferment Great Barrington will be bubbling with health at the fourth annual Berkshire Fermentation Festival this month. The gathering was started by Berkshire Ferments—a group of food lovers and fermentation enthusiasts dedicated to preserving and sharing ancient food traditions. Co-founders Michelle Kaplan, Maddie Elling, and Abe Hunrichs decided to create this festival in the Berkshires due to the high demand for local farming, food sustainability, and traditional food practices. “I have always been a foodie and a lover of the compelling flavors of sour pickles and cheeses since childhood,” says Kaplan. “After graduating high school in 2008, I traveled around the country work-trading on various organic farms. That’s when I was first introduced to fermentation as a strategy for food preservation and realized it’s importance in the big picture. We would have an abundance of cabbage and cucumbers, and you can only make so much coleslaw. Each farm or community I ended up at had a copy of Sandor Katz’s book Wild Fermentation on the shelf, and I became totally obsessed with this mysterious, bubbly process,” said Kaplan. This year’s festival will feature a wide selection of fermented products—from sausage, cheese, tempeh, beer, and kombucha to dosa, miso, natto, Pu-erh tea, and pickle ice cream. More than 50 local vendors will be providing samples and selling their products. Some of this year’s vendors will include Sweet Birch Herbals, The Hudson Standard, FarmSteady from Brooklyn Brew Shop, Revival Vinegar Works, NYrture Food, and more. There will also be a selection of prepared food items, demos, lectures, a science corner, book signings, hands-on vegetable fermentation for kids, live music, and pop-up theatrical performance art. At the Culture Swap, attendees

can share and trade different culture samples like kombucha scobys, kefir grains, sourdough starters, jun, vinegar mothers, and more. “Fermentation is a natural phenomenon that just happens. It can be defined as the desirable, intentional, transformative action of microorganisms. There are so many practical benefits, including its ability to preserve food that would normally perish and to improve digestion and nutrient assimilation. It’s the ultimate probiotic,” says Kaplan. Author Alana Chernila will lead Yogurt 101—an interactive workshop, covering the science of yogurt and exploring different yogurt-making methods. “Natto: Japan’s Fermented Secret Weapon,” a workshop to be led by microbiologist and NYrture Food founder Dr. Ann Yonetani, will reveal the science behind fermentation and the health benefits and modern culinary uses of natto, a traditional Japanese fermented soybean superfood. In “Salted and Brined,” Amanda Feifer, of Phickle, will lead a workshop discussing various methods to produce different vegetable ferments, such as kraut, pickles, and vegetable kvass. Other events will include a miso-making workshop, “Fermenting in Natural Materials,” and a Q&A with fermentation guru Sandor Katz. RockEDU Science Outreach at Rockefeller University, a group which conducts metagenomic research on fermented foods with high school students, will be showing some of their work and conducting hands-on science activities to demonstrate the complexities of microbial communities in fermented foods. The Berkshire Fermentation Festival ($5 suggestion donation) takes place on September 16 at the Great Barrington Fairgrounds from 10am to 4pm.

MUSIC BOP ISLAND JAZZ FESTIVAL

Clockwise from top left: Doug Sertl, Peter Bernstein, Ted Rosenthal, Polly Gibbons.

Close Enough for Jazz While many jazz musicians continue to call Woodstock home, in recent years the town itself hasn’t really been a prime magnet for performances by visiting jazz musicians. Ace area trombonist Doug Sertl is looking to change all that via his Bop Island Jazz Festival series, which starts on September 22 at the Woodstock Playhouse with an evening featuring guitar great Peter Bernstein with tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm, organist Rick Montalbano, and drummer Diego Ramirez (8pm; tickets are $25, $35, and $40). Future shows include the Bop Island Big Band with vocalist Polly Gibbons (October 21), pianist Ted Rosenthal and his trio (November 4), the Bop Island Big Band celebrating the music of Slide Hampton (November 18), and the Bop Island Big Band (December 16). Ahead of the kick-off, Joel Frahm answered a few questions for us by email below. (845) 679-6900; Bopislandjazzfestival.com. —Peter Aaron Who are some of the saxophonists that most influenced you? In your sound I hear some Sonny Rollins, who, coincidentally, now resides in Woodstock, where you’ll be playing, and has lived in our area since 1972. Certainly, Sonny Rollins is a huge influence. His solo on “Softly as in a Morning Sunrise” from the trio record Live at A night at the Village Vanguard, with Elvin Jones and Wilbur Ware, was the first one I ever transcribed. There’s nothing I can say about his genius that hasn’t already been said. I think he embodies the qualities I continue to pursue as a jazz musician: commanding and powerful tone, sense of humor, mastery of time and rhythm, inventiveness of phrasing and fluency of thought and imagination. Others who remain extremely important to me and still inform my playing are Johnny Griffin, Stan Getz, Coltrane, Gene Ammons, Charlie Parker, and Joe Henderson. Not to mention peers such as Chris Potter and Joshua Redman. Speaking of Sonny Rollins, for the September 22 concert you’ll be playing with Peter Bernstein, who worked with Rollins for several years. Have you performed with Bernstein before? What are your impressions of his playing; what makes him stand out as a guitarist? I have had the pleasure of playing and listening to Peter since I first met him when I moved to New York in 1989. I play with him currently in a band called the Humanity Quartet, which is also comprised of Leon Parker and Sean Smith. I used to go see him play at the now-defunct club Augie’s with Larry Goldings and Bill Stewart in the early

’90s. Peter is so unusual because he has always played with such economy and wisdom from the outset of his musical career. His sense of harmony, blues, and the history of the music and his instrument are incredibly deep. He writes amazing songs and every solo is a compelling story. There’s a reason why all jazz guitarists who have come after him hold him in the highest regard. I’m always grateful to play music with him because I know I’m going to learn something every time. You go back a long way with Brad Mehldau—to high school in West Hartford, Connecticut, actually, where you became friends and began playing together. Why do you think you guys clicked so well when you first when you met, and how would you describe the particular sound and feel you have when you play together? Brad is one of a kind; the type of pianist and improvisor that comes around maybe once in a generation. My first memories of listening to him are of sitting next to him at the piano when he was about 16 years old, just watching him improvise freely, with no agenda, and hearing these incredible ideas just pour out of him seemingly with no effort. There was always something very special about him. I feel like I was just lucky to have encountered him at that point and become his friend and musical partner at a time when we were both falling in love with jazz and learning the songs and vocabulary. I was never close to his understanding of music, but I am forever grateful to him that he has been willing to collaborate with me when he’s been able over the years. There is something a bit undefinable that happens when we play together; a musical dialogue that comes from a place of long friendship and mutual musical discovery that is one of the true blessings in my career. Besides a good time, what do you most hope the people who attend the concert in Woodstock—long-time jazz fans as well as newcomers—get from the experience? I hope they’ll come away feeling like they’ve experienced a collection of extraordinary jazz musicians coming together to offer up a soulful and groovy concert. The thing about seeing a great jazz performance is that when it’s really happening, it’s not as ephemeral as going to see a musical concert that’s more about creating the same songs the same way every time. In jazz, there’s always the chance you’re going to see something unusual and memorable. If we can send people home saying, “Did you hear what they did on that tune?” then we will have done our job well. 9/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 105

Finding Oscar In 1982, in the small, rural village of Dos Erres, Guatemala, over 200 men, women, and children were massacred under a regime covertly supported by President Reagan. This little-publicized event leveled the town, and left one man, Tranquilino Castañeda, with nine dead children—or so he believed. Through the dogged research of three Guatemalan women, including the country’s Attorney General, it emerged that two children were kidnapped by soldiers and remained alive. The activists searched for Castañeda’s son, Oscar, for over 15 years, finally tracking him to a small town outside Boston in 2011 using DNA technology. Finding Oscar, a 2016 documentary film produced by Steven Spielberg, tracks the odyssey of locating the one person that could confirm what happened at Dos Erres, uncovering the truth of the events, and seeking justice. Woodstock Film Festival and WacBiz will copresent a screening of the film on September 8 at 6pm at the Rosendale Theatre. The screening will be followed by a moderated panel discussion with one of the film’s producers, local resident Scott Greathead; the film’s subject Oscar Ramirez Castañeda; and forensic anthropologist Fredy Peccerelli. $20.

A Creekside Staging of “Anna Christie” Eugene O’Neill was amongst the first playwrights to disrupt staid American theater with techniques of realism, one of which was to incorporate societal outcasts as key roles in his plays. When it premiered on Broadway in 1921, “Anna Christie” made waves. The four-act play follows a young prostitute as she reconnects with her estranged, seafaring father and fights to determine her own fate and achieve redemption through honest love. The Pulitzer Prize-winning play is mostly set aboard a barge, leading director Bruce Grund chose to stage his modern adaptation at the Certified Marina in Connelly, just nine feet from the Rondout Creek. “O’Neill is a master of conflict, akin to the ancient Greek tragedians,” says Grund, who chose this play to further the local #MeToo dialogue. “In ‘Anna Christie,’ the conflicts erupt, interrupt, and rupture the emotions of both cast and audience.” The performances will be followed by Q&A sessions with the cast and director. “Anna Christie” runs September 7-23 at Certified Marina. Tickets are $25, $20 for students. Cash or check. (845) 473-4397; Annachristiekingston@gmail.com.

9/18 CHRONOGRAM FORECAST 115

Horoscopes By Lorelai Kude

HOPE AND HEALING ON THE HORIZON! When life has been hitting you over the head with a 2x4, it feels so good when the beatings stop! August’s rough retrograde ride gives way to graduated relief in September as Saturn and later Pluto station direct in Capricorn, and Mars’s capricious retrograde becomes just an object in the rearview mirror, receding from view and memory as he speeds direct in Aquarius after September 10. The sense of load-lightening even extends to September’s portion of the upcoming transit of Venus through Scorpio. The pleasure planet hurls through sexually powerful Scorpio beginning September 9, and (including a retrograde period October 5–November 16 with a dip back into Libra October 31–December 1) continues through early January of 2019. “Superficial” romance? Not a chance. Venus in Scorpio goes where no Venus dares to go before, or after. The deepest depths and the highest heights are Scorpio’s territory. Candy and flowers be damned—Scorpio settles for nothing less than heart’s blood. If you’ve been ambivalent about a love or lukewarm with your former passion, Venus in Scorpio will test your last measure of devotion to determine whether it is eternal or merely temporal. The new Moon in Virgo joins Mercury in his home sign on September 9, prompting confession, soul cleansing, and recalibrating direction. Those Peter Pans who flee to Neverland hoping to escape responsibility miss the most profound challenge of all: staying forever young while reaping the rewards of the maturation process. The autumnal equinox on September 22 in diplomatic, graceful Libra turns the seasonal tide in the direction of hope—watch it rise with the full harvest Moon in bold, brave Aries on September 24, pouring the healing light of renewed strength in weary hearts, encouraging childlike faith and rewarding adultlike courage.

September begins with the square to your natal Sun by Mars, your ruling planet, in dutiful, diligent cardinal Earth Capricorn. The universe is conspiring to give you abundance—your lesson is to stay in one place long enough to accept this gift. Venus in Cardinal Air Libra through September 9 squares both Mars and your Sun, creating a T-square of fresh initiative in matters both public and private. Mercury in Leo the first week of the month supports courageous communication: Ask for a raise, a date, or your heart’s desire and see results by the full moon in Aries September 24.

TAURUS (April 19–May 20)

Taurus, you’ve been so patient! Uranus in the first few degrees of your home sign since mid-May has rocked your world with surprises and maybe even shocks, yet you’ve persevered. Now Uranus is moving retrograde through those same first few degrees, throwing you back into the same or similar energetic kerfuffle you’ve so steadfastly made your way through. It’s not really deja vu all over again, but it is the opportunity to rethink and revise some of your choices. Your ruling planet Venus in passionate, intense Scorpio opposite your Sun beginning September 10 powerfully stimulates desire. A “lost” love may soon be found.

Horoscopes GEMINI (May20–June 21)

Mercury, your ruling planet, will be in the “other” Mercury-ruled sign of Virgo from September 7–23. These are the best weeks of the year for you to access Virgo’s mutable Earth energies. You’re ready to manifest in the material world, and you need to build yourself a vessel big and strong enough to contain the dream you’re incubating. This transit brings discernment and the power to choose wisely. Mars direct in Aquarius after September 12 speeds your thoughts and actions into futuristic realms. September is your chance to dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s you missed in June.

CANCER (June 21–July 22)

Congratulate yourself! You’re gaining traction against threats of inertia September 1–10 with Saturn, Pluto, and Mars (finally direct!) in your solar opposite of Capricorn. You’ve slain this dragon before! In fact, your sword is still bloody from the battle that climaxed last month. Adrenaline is flowing, and momentum is yours as the positive choices you’ve fought to make start to yield perceivable results September 4–6. Take a victory lap by the full Moon in cardinal fire Aries on September 24; you’ll have something flowery and fragrant to show off by then, as the fruits of your heroic labor begin to blossom.

(July 22–August 23)

After an extended retrograde all summer, Mars, finally direct in your solar opposite of Aquarius after September 12, energizes you to do the hard work of balancing between personal desires and community responsibility. You emerge from the heroic battle transformed, as all heroes are after facing the terrible foe within. In September, you don’t need your usual accessories—the bling, the spotlight, the headlines—to make you look good. The garments of unfeigned humility beautify you now, as the inner glow of a grateful heart bathes everything you touch in a beautiful light that others are drawn to bask in.

LIBRA (September 23–October 23)

Venus is in your home sign through September 9, Mercury is in Libra on the 21 followed by the autumnal equinox on the 22, heralding the Sun’s entry into Libra and making you more optimistic about the future than you’ve been all summer. Things haven’t been as pretty or pleasant as you’d prefer, and you’ve bravely worked on learning to face your own feet of clay as well as those of others. Your reward for this sometimes-distressing exertion is feeling like everything’s coming up roses, especially on the 24, when the big, bright harvest Moon in your solar opposite Aries illuminates the most beautiful parts of your heart.

Horoscopes SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Venus enters your home sign on September 9, and not a moment too soon! You’ve patiently waited for that special grace and favor that occurs during Venus transits. You’ll find out what “Careful what you wish for” really means when Venus takes you on the cosmic version of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride between now and the middle of December, jump-started by an opposition to retrograde Uranus in Taurus through September 15. Surprising wish fulfillment, shocking revelations of suppressed feelings, and tidal waves of emotional rebellion may hit you September 12–14. Jupiter in Scorpio’s expansive transformative power is your flotation device during the deluge.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 22)

The first quarter Moon in Sagittarius on September 16 is great news for your nose, which has been relentlessly pressed to the grindstone for months. Say yes to any surprising offers of assistance or support this month, regardless of your fear of entanglements and obligations. The gift horse coming your way has all his teeth intact, and when your ship comes in later this year you’ll be able to recompense all debts, both personal and professional. You’ve worked so hard at working hard you barely recognize the new persistence muscles you’ve grown. The payoff will be spectacular when it finally arrives circa mid-November.

CAPRICORN December 22–January 20)

Mars has been camped out at the final degrees of Capricorn since August 12 and won’t be disembarking until September 10. That’s almost an entire month of the primal life force planet putting pressure on the “ultimate” degree of your cardinal Earth sign, where all the characteristics of Capricorn congregate like a herd of rowdy-and-randy mountain goats. You could conceive a child, start a land war, launch a spacecraft, or save the world when Saturn goes direct in your sign on September 6 and Pluto goes direct September 30 after both having been retrograde since mid-April—the Force is with you!

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 19)

GROUNDBREAKING CINEMA SINCE 1972

Prepare to relive everything that happened from mid-May until now, when Mars goes Direct in your home sign on September 10, speeding back (in the right direction) along the well-trodden path between now and mid-November. You’re ready to apply hard-learned lessons as you face similar challenges and respond to them in new and improved ways. The bite you took out of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge earlier this year was bitter to your mouth but sweet to your belly. Nasty as it may have tasted, it energized your Aquarian superpower: the humane, ethical, and idealistic application of knowledge.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Mercury in your solar opposite Virgo, September 5–21, prompts discerning questions and discrete communication in matters of partnerships, both personal and professional. It’s time to decide if your associations are aligned with your highest good or just your easiest convenience. You may need to swim further upstream to find the right place to go with the flow. Moon-Neptune contacts between September 22–24 inspire altruism and you want to give everything away September 27–28, but preempt this impractical impulse by granting a Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn friend temporary power of attorney over your resources. Surprisingly, September rewards your more conservative instincts.

Parting Shot

A stone-carving student at the annual Hunter Stone Carving Seminar.

All it took was one close-up of a sculptor’s hands working a block of marble in the 1972 film Savage Messiah for Kevin VanHentenryck to drop out of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and change career paths. “When I had saved up enough money, I bought three chisels and a hammer, found a rock on streets of Lower Manhattan, and got to work,” says VanHentenryck, a Woodstock resident. “The moment I touched steel to stone, I had an epiphany that this is what I was meant to do.” His devotion to the ancient artform never wavered (though he did take a brief pause to achieve what IMDB calls, “instant cult status as the engagingly guileless and nerdy Duane Bradley in Frank Henenlotter’s marvelously gory and sleazy low-budget horror splatter gem Basket Case”). For the past 44 years, VanHentenryck has sculpted for private commission and taught carving workshops to students of all ages. In 2007, he founded the Hunter Stone Carving Seminar, a free, two-week workshop where students learn the essential carving techniques on massive boulders in the town-designated Bluestones Park. “There are museum quality pieces that students have left behind,” VanHentenryck says. “When the stones are full, the idea was they would get placed throughout town of Hunter and we would bring new ones into site for the workshop.” This year, however, the seminar’s funding from the Greene County Arts Council was slashed by 75 percent. “I’m committed to keeping it free,” VanHentenryck says. “We have to find the way forward.” Facebook.com/HunterStoneCarvingSeminar. —Marie Doyon
