Oui Oui Non Non Adie Russell | walnut ink on paper | 5” x 6.25” | 2010

When she heard a story about 18th-century French political prisoners reciting poetry to one another in order to endure their incarceration, Stone Ridgebased artist Adie Russell was gripped by an absurdist fear of being trapped with nothing to read. She didn’t know a single poem by heart and felt she should learn one, just in case. She decided to memorize Allen Ginsberg’s “America” by listening to a recording of the poet. This process evolved into her ongoing video series, the “Covers” project, which features the artist lip-synching to found audio recordings. “I was struck by how current the poem sounded,” Russell says. “The cultural references were dated, but there was something about the tone, the emotional and political feeling, that seemed to mirror the present.” By displacing the recordings from their historical context and the associations with the original speakers, Russell both highlights the content and brings new meaning to the words. In Never Had More Troubles, she re-creates a 1967 interview between Merv Griffin and Richard Nixon wherein Griffin, referring to Nixon’s failed campaign for governor of California, wonders if he might be considered a “loser.” Watching now, in light of Nixon’s legacy of a botched presidency, these words take on a tone of comical irony. “Humor can be underrated in art, but I think it really helps people connect with the work, especially when it’s more conceptual,” Russell explains. Russell uses the videos as a jumping-off point for paintings, drawings, and photographs. “The themes that come out of the videos, both in content and form, inspire me to make other kinds of work.They have a philosophical connection to each other.” She also often employs historical artifacts in her drawings, notably vintage postcards, which she “interrupts” by painting on them, burning them, or otherwise altering the image to create a tension of opposing realities. The title of Russell’s most recent video, the most extreme perfect that exists, is a quote from the audio used in the piece: an interview with Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. In it, Bergman struggles to find the English words to describe the circumstances under which he wrote the script for his 1966 minimalist film Persona. Russell stands before a photographic backdrop of a flowering tree as sunlight dapples the branches. Her lips move in perfect sync with the stuttering words of Bergman as he describes being anesthetized for the first time and his resulting feelings of nonexistence. “Its really about unity and dissolution—how, when we have these experiences of losing our sense of self, it can be a kind of relief,” says Russell. “And also about how when you have a lot of hang-ups about perfection, you can end up feeling like a dirty snake.” The most extreme perfect that exists, a solo show of Russell’s new video, drawings, and paintings, will be exhibited at Roos Arts in Rosendale June 11 through July 23. An opening reception will be held on June 11 from 6 to 8pm. (718) 755-4726; www.roosarts.com. —Samantha Minasi Visit Chronogram.com to see a selection of videos by Adie Russell, as well as a short film profiling the artist by Stephen Blauweiss and Amy Loewenhaar, produced by ArtistDVD.com.

LETTERS Jail Time for Carnivores To the Editor: I was considering advertising my vegan food company with you again, but articles like “The Pig Dies at Noon” [5/11] solidify my decision not to. Yes, there are meat eaters on the planet. But, really? Do you need to print articles like this one? Why does the murder of an innocent animal not only get a pass, but also a huge article with photos written about the event? When the same person—if he murders a human the same graphic way, with a party full of accomplices, I mean, dinner guests, watching—would get 20 years to life? Your publication has a responsibility to not glorify inhumane practices, don’t you think? Reconsidering one’s carnivorous state while not vehemently opposing the barbarism taking place at the BBQ picnic is not a helpful message toward the compassion animals need on this planet from publications like Chronogram. The piece pushed the new “Happy Meat” trend, where people are feeling falsely comfortable with the kill because it seems less inhumane than factory farming. Plus, to say that if folks are okay watching, even participating in the dismemberment and death of an animal, then they should go ahead and eat it, is no different than saying if you’re comfortable killing and eating people like Hannibal Lecter does, then you shouldn’t have to go to jail for what you did to that poor innocent victim. By and large, killing sentient beings for our pleasure or our plate is wrong. Chronogram influences so many readers. I can only hope that it would be a better world if you focused your articles on treating humans and all animals with love, respect, compassion, and kindness. Roni Shapiro,Woodstock President, Healthy Gourmet To-Go

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS In our May issue, there were three errors in the “Beacon: Hiptown Hometown” article. A photo of the Beacon Riverfest was incorrectly credited. The photo was taken by Rob Penner. As well, the name of musician Tao Seeger was misspelled; his first name is not, in fact, Taco. Finally, the phrase “punctuated with a big explanation point” was used instead of the standard construction “punctuated with a big exclamation point.”

Esteemed Reader of Our Magazine: Eskimos have lots of words for snow, or so the linguistic legend goes. This is an appealing notion—that people living in a snowy landscape will learn to discern subtleties of variation, and mark those differences with new terms. Similarly, in Farsi there are four words for friend. Or, more correctly, Persians differentiate levels of friendship, depths of rapport. They have mapped the landscape of intimacy, describing it’s mountains and valleys, cities and countryside. It is notable that casual friendship doesn’t appear on this spectrum. Persians scoff at our liberal use of the term. They have a saying: Call a person a friend only once you have eaten a bushel of salt together. This is the salt of tears; of shared work and suffering for a purpose. In this sense friendship is not accidental, but earned; not sentimental, but true. I find my friends are those I have worked with in some setting—personal, business, spiritual. These shared ordeals in service to a common effort or cause seem to carve out a deeper connection. Though we may not have started with attraction to one another, our common striving for some third element has brought us together. There’s a readiness to drop social conventions, the need to entertain, or make conversation. There’s an ark of freedom that allows a more tacit, unmanufactured intimacy. Sitting in the cafĂŠ the other day talking my friend I realized we had created a “cone of attentionâ€? (think Agent 86).We were speaking about all kinds of things—Paleolithic art as a window to non-ordinary reality, methods of tracking meaning, the possibility of surrendering to a larger intelligence that can only be conducted by a group in sync‌ Our mutual acknowledgement that our attention to one another came first— before the content of the conversation—allowed us to plumb unexpected meanings that refreshed us both. Says Rumi: You’ve heard it said there’s a window that opens from one mind to another, but if there’s no wall, there’s no need for fitting the window, or the latch. The Sufis speak of God as the Friend. The most enlightened recognize the spark of divinity at the heart of every being, and form friendships with that. The unfolding connection of the mystical poet Rumi and his teacher, Shams al Tabriz, is a love story. Rumi sees in Shams the divine being, and Shams provides a line from above leading to another level of perception and power. There is a tale of Rumi and Shams walking together along the seashore. Shams indicates that it’s time to walk out on the water, and explains that Rumi’s ability will come from focusing on his name. So Rumi begins chanting Shams, Shams, Shams‌ and they walk out onto the waves. Rumi hears Shams chanting ahead of him. He’s saying Ya Hu,Ya Hu,Ya Hu‌* He thinks, if it works for Shams, it should work for me. He begins imitating Shams’ mantra and immediately plunges beneath the water... Omar Khayam spoke of this mystical friendship in his Rubaiyat: Neither you know nor I know the secrets of eternity / We huddle behind the curtain pondering the riddle / When the curtain falls, you are not there, and neither am I. In that depth of friendship there is no separate existence. I feel my friends most when they bear witness. Advice is OK, but when my amigo creates a space for me to watch myself play out whatever drama or agenda is roiling, I am given the gift of seeing what is necessary and what is not. If I am angry I hear myself voicing the litany of justifications for the poor state. In the space created by my friend’s listening, the justifications fall away and I can let the anger go. At the more mundane level where most of us dwell, friendship is a force for enlivening what matters most—the day by day process of awakening to greater degrees of presence. What a joy to make this effort among friends! A friend helps her friend be her heart’s desire. And if she doesn’t yet know her heart’s desire, her friend creates conditions in which she can soften, allowing the vapor of her essence to rise. Smelling the fumes of her wishing she is empowered to work. *Of the 99 names for God in Islam, Hu is the 100th, and most sacred name. —Jason Stern

Brian K. Mahoney Editor’s Note Sushi in the Country

M

y friends Dave and Corinne are contemplating moving upstate from Brooklyn. We all know the story if we haven’t lived it ourselves: They’re in their mid-forties and the go-go life in Gotham has lost its luster. Once that happens, what’s left is a layer of grime on every metal-plated subway fixture. Corinne has the possibility to work out of an office in Albany; Dave’s thinking about returning to his first career—he’s a CIA grad—and opening a bistro. They’ve made a couple of tentative weekend explorations of Rhinebeck and Hudson to look at apartments. They’re excited about renting a space twice as big as their Park Slope apartment for half the price. But they’re unsure. It’s a big move, after all. And Dave and Corinne seem to know that once you move up here full-time, you don’t actually go back to New York very often.Your life is here now. All your friends want to get out of the city anyway, especially in the summer. In a way, your life follows you. Then Dave asks the all-important question: “Can we get sushi in the country?” The query is both a straightforward concern about access to raw fish prepared by Japanese-trained chefs, and also a metaphysical predicament: Is there enough city in the country to satisfy me? Sushi as a reductive stand-in for art, Shake Shack, Jivamukti yoga, the Film Forum, six thousand years of civilization. When I relocated 15 years ago, you had to travel to Rhinebeck from New Paltz for sushi at the fledgling Osaka. Of course, we always made it a two-fer with a visit to Upstate Films. (New Paltz currently boasts three sushi places and a Japanese noodle house. I’ll leave the debate about gentrification vs. culinary enlightenment alone for the moment.) And not only does Osaka now have a sushi outpost in Tivoli—a burg not big enough to need a stoplight—but I ate there recently in the company of representatives of Dia:Beacon and Bard’s Center for Curatorial Studies, chatting about such urbane topics as the Blinky Palermo retrospective that opens this month (Parting Shot, page 128). Would you like a side of highbrow conversation with your country sushi? Those of us who call the Hudson Valley home get our city-in-the-country in different ways. For Jonathan Korn, it meant renovating a derelict brick townhouse in Kingston’s Rondout neighborhood, within walking distance of the

Hudson River and a number of restaurants (Home, page 24). With a view of the Wurts Avenue bridge on one of the city’s steepest streets, it looks a lot like San Francisco down there, but with access to the great outdoors, a quality Korn, an avid hiker, cherishes. Summer brings the city to the country in countless other ways. It’s a cultural cornucopia, for one, with the world’s brightest talents traveling to perform in our bucolic setting. Peter Aaron previews the summer music festival circuit this month, highlighting concerts ranging from opera to jam bands and every genre in between (Music, page 56). If you’d rather stay in and host the soiree at your place, Holly Tarson has rounded up the drinks for you, canvassing the region’s talented mixologists for an assortment of tasty adult party beverages (Summer Entertaining, page 37). Last but not least, that paradoxical city import, the farmers’ market. What was once the exclusive domain of Union Square and Grand Army Plaza has taken root in the Hudson Valley, with over 35 weekly markets filled with the bounty of the counties (2011 Guide to Farmers’ Markets, page 86). Akiko Busch takes the meandering trail to the top of Beacon Mountain in her recent book of essays Patience:Taking Time in An Age of Acceleration, reflecting on how we bring ourselves—our civilization, our “city”—with us wherever we go. I’m a huge fan of Busch’s thoughtful prose—she’s a graphic designer as well as a writer, and her style is as clean and clear as a carefully laid out page of text—and I’m pleased as punch we're publishing a portion of Patience this month (Excerpt, page 22). A century ago, people traveled for miles to take the incline railway to the top of Beacon Mountain. They partied and danced the night away at the casino there, an outpost of merriment perched in the wilderness. It just goes to show what people won’t do for a little city in the country. I’ll have to tell Dave and Corinne about that. P.S. Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out our reader survey in the past month. We’ve received over 400 responses—a statistically significant number, I am told—and we’ll be using the data to better align ourselves with your expectations of Chronogram.

The string of tornadoes that ripped through the South in late April and into early May caused devastating losses to one industry in particular: poultry farming. In Alabama, poultry farming is a $5 billion dollar a year industry producing more than a billion chickens a year—the third-largest producer in the US. The tornadoes damaged at least 700 poultry houses, and officials say some 3 million chickens died. Because of widespread damage at grain mills and a lack of electricity, farmers are having a hard time getting remaining chickens fed and safely housed. The US Department of Agriculture and a few big-name chicken processors like Tyson and Pilgrim’s Pride are providing some aid to the farmers. Officials estimate it could be up to a year before the state’s poultry business gets back on its feet. Source: NPR By the price at the pump, one might assume that oil companies are struggling for revenue. Turns out, in the first three months of 2011, ExxonMobil experienced a surge of profits—earning $10.6 billion from January to April. The Treasury Department says oil companies will get more than $40 billion in tax breaks over the next decade. They get $12 billion for deducting certain drilling costs, and an additional $11 billion for the “energy depletion allowance.” Some of the tax breaks oil companies receive date back to WWII. During a radio address in late April President Obama stated: “That’s $4 billion of your money going to these companies when they’re making record profits.” Republican House Speaker John Boehner supported the view. “Oil companies ought to be paying their fair share,” Boehner said. Source: NPR According to the Federal Trade Commission, in 2006 food companies spent nearly $2.3 billion advertising to children. In mid-April, the federal government proposed a sweeping set of reforms and guidelines that would not only change the formulation of the food we serve children, but how that food is marketed as well. With the growing epidemic of childhood obesity, regulators are beginning to focus on the tactics used to market foods high in sugar, salt, and fat to children. The new guidelines, created by the FTC, target a broad range of strategies, including television and print ads that feature brightly colored cartoon characters like Toucan Sam, online games that camouflage as advertisements, product placement in movies, and use of movie characters in fast-food children’s meals—to name a few. The guidelines call for foods advertised to children to meet two basic requirements: They must include healthy ingredients like whole grains, fresh fruits, and veggies; and they cannot contain unhealthy amounts of sugar, saturated fat, trans fat, and salt. Though the efforts by the FTC are well intentioned, they are voluntary guidelines, and companies will be allotted five to 10 years to bring their products and marketing strategies up to date. Source: New York Times The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center announced in early May a list of 11 Walk Friendly Communities across the US, with eight additional communities receiving honorable mentions. The Walk Friendly Communities is a new national recognition program designed to encourage towns and cities to make safer walking conditions a priority. Each place is ranked in categories of achievement, and awarded either bronze, silver, gold or platinum. Neighborhoods whose residents and visitors find it safe, useful, convenient and pleasant to walk tend to be environmentally friendly in other ways as well. The list focuses in particular on cities that are making strides to create policy changes to encourage walking, and make walking easier. Among the top rankers are Seattle, Santa Barbara, and Hoboken.

Facing a $109 million budget gap, the mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, Angel Teveras, has proposed closing schools, cutting police and fire department budgets, raising homeowners taxes, and now—seeking larger payments from the city’s nonprofit universities and hospitals. Nonprofit universities and hospitals provide jobs and bring in tourism—but for cities that rely on property taxes, they provide little help. Traditionally, nonprofit institutions pay what are called “payments in lieu of taxes,” or Pilots. However, cities like Boston, Chicago, and Providence are now seeking to establish new, larger voluntary payments. Some cities are proposing implementing new fees for things like water service, street drainage, and streetlights—others are asking to tighten up the rules on establishing how tax-exempt status is granted. The problem with demanding more money from nonprofits is that they’re facing the same woes as the cities: Endowments have shrunk, investments have lost money, and donor contributions have dwindled—but the demand for their services have remained the same, or risen. Source: New York Times The Federal Fish and Wildlife Service is the primary tool for protecting plants and animals against extinction in the US. Since Congress passed the Endangered Species Act 37 years ago, about 1,370 species have been listed. Over the past four years, environmental groups have requested more than 1,230 species be listed—compared with the previous 12 years in which requests averaged about 20 species annually. Last month the agency asked Congress to step in and implement a limit on the number of species it must consider for protection. With accelerating climate change, habitat loss, and invasive species threats, the agency is overwhelmed, politically vulnerable, and essentially can’t handle the job. But some environmental groups see dogging the agency as the best way to ensure they still do their job. WildEarth Guardians began a barrage of petitions in 2007 in response to a steep decline of listings under the Bush administration—only eight species were listed on average yearly, compared with 58 per year in the Clinton administration. Experts acknowledge the difficulty of the task the agency faces, but also state that simply not listing species is not an answer either. Source: New York Times Lawmakers from Brazil to Florida have been pushing to loosen restrictions on onceprotected lands. Members of Brazil’s Congress fiercely debated proposed revisions to the current Forest Code. Enacted in 1934, the Forest Code requires that 80 percent of a property in the Amazon, and 20 to 35 percent of land in other areas, remain forest. The proposed revisions would exempt small farms from those restrictions—potentially accelerating deforestation. Despite efforts to slow deforestation in the past decade, scientists say about 18 percent of the Brazilian Amazon has already been deforested. However, the legislation has less to do with the environment, and more to do with the economy. Clearing land would put Brazil in a position to be the nation with the greatest potential in the world to expand land for cultivation and cattle grazing. In the US, the Republican-led Florida Legislature pushed through a series of lastminute measures that will make it harder for the public to challenge development and environmental permits, and builders will no longer require developers to prove a project is safe. The Legislature significantly reduced funding for protection and restoration of the Everglades. Source: New York Times French lawmakers opened a debate in May on proposals to ban the controversial drilling method for extracting oil and gas from shale—hydraulic fracturing—citing environmental concerns. Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, the environment minister, said hydraulic fracturing “is not something we want to use in France.” Industry officials say if the drilling practice were to be adapted at any point, they expect to abide by much stricter regulation than is the norm in the US.

COURTESY OF ALABAMA FARMERS FEDERATION

According to a survey of GOP voters released on May 10, more than half of Republican voters still doubt whether President Obama was born in the US—despite the White House releasing the president’s long-form birth certificate in April. According to the survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling, 48 percent believed Obama was born in the US, 34 percent answered no, and 18 percent said they weren’t sure. Donald Trump, the GOP wildcard who has taken credit for “forcing” Obama to release his birth certificate now says he does believe that President Obama was born in the US. GOP leaders are now attempting to use the doubt as leverage in the upcoming 2012 elections. Source: Slate

WHAT NOW? AFTER BIN LADEN

Given the choice between pleading incompetence or complicity in bin Laden’s years-long stay in the garrison city of Abbottabad, Pakistani authorities have opted for the former. It is an explanation that strains credulity for many international observers, including US policymakers, who have demanded an investigation into whether Pakistan sheltered the al-Qaeda leader. —Karin Brulliard, Washingtonpost.com, May 4 The United States gives Pakistan lots of money, nearly $12 billion in military aid, and over $6 billion in economic aid since 2002. This is “understood” to be payment for Pakistan being on our side in the War on Terror. A week since Osama Bin Laden’s discovery, living under the noses of the Pakistani intelligence services and some US lawmakers are threatening to suspend billions of dollars in annual aid. —Andrew North, BBC News, May 11 Since we’re spending so much, we have a right to ask: incompetence or complicity? As long as we think we should ask based on the fact that we’re paying, who is it we should be asking about? Them or Us? The US government spent $2 trillion combating bin Laden over the past decade, more than 20 percent of the nation’s $9.68 trillion public debt.That money paid for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as additional military, intelligence and homeland security spending above pre-Sept. 11 trends, according to a Bloomberg analysis. —Bloomberg News, May 12 We spend somewhere between $40 billion a year (best guestimate, 2008) and $80 billion a year (official statement, 2010) on intelligence. We have the CIA, NSA, FBI, DIA, the military intelligence services, Homeland Security, State Department, Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, and presumably agencies so secret they’re not even listed on www.intelligence.gov/about-the-intelligence-community. The Bloomberg study looks back 10 years. Actually, the intelligence services have been looking for bin Laden in order to capture or kill him for at least 13 years. Bin Laden was indicted for murder in American courts in 1998. By August of that year he was on the “Wanted: Dead or Alive” exclusive list. There is a certain amount of debate as to whether Bill Clinton issued an order that said “We don’t need no stinkin’ badges,” or one that said, “Try to arrest, only kill him if there’s a problem.” However, on August 20, US Navy ships launched 66 cruise missiles at an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan in the belief that bin Laden was there. In 1999, the CIA organized a team of 60 Pakistani commandos who were supposed to go into Afghanistan to “capture or kill” bin Laden. But Musharraf’s coup that year put a stop to it. In May 2001, four of bin Laden’s associates were sentenced to life in prison in US Federal Court in New York. After 9/11, the FBI and the intelligence

services knew instantly that bin Laden and Al Qaeda had been behind it. And they said so. If we follow the logic of the critiques of the ISI (Pakistan’s intelligence service), then we have to say that our intelligence services were protecting bin Laden, while taking trillions in US government money, or they are the most inept intelligence services on earth. If you’re a conspiracy theorist, you will happily take choice number one. The evidence is as follows. When Afghanistan was invaded, our best intelligence believed that bin Laden was cornered in the Tora Bora mountains. The Bush administration refused to send in enough troops to seal him off. Was there ever any intention to get bin Laden? The invasion of Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001. Just five months later, in March 2002, GeorgeW. Bush said, “I don’t know where [bin Laden] is … I truly am not concerned about him.” Instead, the Bush administration was actually going after regime change. Then they moved to Iraq, with trumped up stories about WMDs and false connections to Al Qaeda, to institute regime change there. In 2005, the year that bin Laden built the compound that he moved to in Abbottabad, George Bush shut down Alec Station, the team that had been hunting bin Laden for 10 years. Double, triple conspiracy theorists will say the response to 9/11 was part of the Republican plan to destroy the New Deal, Great Society, socialist, Marxist government of the United States by going to war while cutting taxes and running up debts to a level that would turn our nation’s fiscal structure into a house of cards. Bloomberg News points out that not only does the War on Terror (and its affiliated wars) account for 20 percent of our national debt, but we are also paying $45 billion a year in interest on the money we borrowed for it. It’s also worth noting that 70 percent of our classified intelligence spending goes to private contractors, part of the campaign to privatize government and to do so in ways that are beyond accountability. Nonconspiracy theorists are sadly silent. This is tragic because ineptitude is probably the right answer. It’s a little bit complicated, because there are two flavors of f**k up wrapped on one stick, like a creamsicle. There’s the plain vanilla institutional problem. How can a set of intelligence services with satellites, predator drones, worldwide wire-tapping, supersoldiers, and essentially limitless funds fail to find one man in 13 years? That’s a question that needs to be asked by serious people in a serious way. Unfortunately, serious people in a position to get serious answers don’t exist. Then there’s the special bright-orange incompetence of the Bush administration. Is it fair to place special blame there? Results count. Actions do speak louder than words. The Bush administration took seven years not to get bin Laden. The Obama administration did get it done in two years. Yet, when we turn on the television or read the news, we are greeted by a parade of failed Bush administration officials taking credit for what they didn’t do. And, while they were at it, claiming the invasion of Iraq was necessary and justified, and that this justifies torture! 6/11 CHRONOGRAM 21

HIKING BEACON MOUNTAIN

FROM PATIENCE: TAKING TIME IN AN AGE OF ACCELERATION DUTCHESS COUNTY RESIDENT AKIKO BUSCH REFLECTS ON THE INTERSECTION OF PLAY AND PATIENCE.

By Akiko Busch

T

he switchback trail up Beacon Mountain threads its way through a forest of maple, hemlock, and oak, thickets of white birches or thin groves of black birches, their trunks etched with silver hieroglyphs. Laddered with roots, the path is carved by stone and strewn with rocks and gravel. Where the slope levels off, a bed of ferns has taken root. Every rift in the granite offers its own still life—a pocket of citrus-colored moss, or a handful of wild grass. A tiny, orange spider negotiates its way across both of these; a red eft scurries across an oak leaf in its own vignette of determination. It’s a roundabout way to the summit. A century ago, an incline railway brought visitors directly up the mountain to a casino, an amusement park and dance hall, but what’s left of these now are only a few overgrown pathways, cracked concrete platforms, a grove of elm trees, some old stone walls, a few chunks of concrete steps. This afternoon, the remains of gaiety are simply a monarch butterfly, a stand of goldenrod, and the sound of wind rippling through the leaves of an aspen tree. The disintegrating brick walls of the powerhouse for the old railway read as a graph of decay, and inside, ferns and sumac bloom over the giant, rusting wheels and pulleys that once hauled the cable cars up the mountain. Its system of cogs and weights has been threaded with wild asters and purple clover. A random calligraphy of graffiti and wild ivy—that universal language of abandoned places—streams across the bricks themselves, which are now turning to powder while flakes of rust adorn the machinery. Considering the carnival tents and gaming tables once poised on this arid ledge of the earth’s crust, I wonder at our abiding instinct to bring a sense of spontaneity to those places where it seems to least belong. Surely, among our transactions with the natural world, this is among the most inexplicable— odder than insisting that we can climb an icy cliff or maneuver a kayak down a thundering river is that impulse to bring a sense of play where it is most out of place. But it is probably more than the contrarian in us. For all its lightheartedness, play can be a driving force in endurance. In her book, Rapt, Winifred Gallagher suggests that there are times in which play—that is, turning work into a game, a rote activity into something that engages the imagination—can be a way of focusing attention on the present moment. High achievers, she suggests, have this ability to construct little puzzles for themselves. Thomas Jefferson, when not occupied “with the demands of the Revolution or the presidency, for example, delighted in making and designing simple, useful things, such as keys and a plow.” And, certainly, such play does well to occupy the mind in times of duress. Sometimes patience is simply a form of distraction, or what the ceramic artist Eva Zeisel calls “thought control.” Imprisoned by Joseph Stalin in 1936 22 EXCERPT CHRONOGRAM 6/11

for 16 months, 12 of which were spent in solitary confinement, Zeisel did not allow herself to remember the past or dream of the future. Instead, she designed a brassiere, did headstands riding an imaginary bicycle in the air, and played chess games with herself on a fantasy board. I have encountered this intersection of patience and play before. When I was a child, during the time our family lived in Thailand, I contracted tuberculosis, an infection that sometimes prevented me from playing with my friends outdoors. On such afternoons, I would sit on the veranda with my nurse—a young, widowed Japanese woman who had come to our family in Bangkok after the war, leaving her own teenage children behind in Japan. We would sit together at a table, and she would teach me how to fold brightly colored squares of paper into all manners of boats, flowers, horses, birds, and cranes. It wasn’t until decades later, when I was a mother myself, that I came to wonder about those afternoons. I don’t know whether she was rapt or practicing thought control, but I think it’s possible that folding and creasing and rearranging those squares of paper into their fantastic shapes was not only a way for her to engage a sick child, but also a way—through a combination of discipline, vivid imagination, and tactile ingenuity—to bring every part of her being to accommodate those ways in which her own life had been so unexpectedly rearranged, to use distraction to survive her separation from her family. Now that impulse to sit in a room trying to make one thing become another, not with a piece of bright paper but with a word or a sentence, may spring from those afternoons on that wide veranda overlooking the lily pond, banana and mango trees, a wandering water buffalo or, possibly, a Buddhist monk in his saffron robe. And when I think of the magic with which she could string together a chain of shining birds, boats, and flowers, I realize how very little separates play from distraction, and how little difference there is between distraction and patience. It is natural to use play to stay with something we would be unable or unwilling to stay with otherwise, because it is possible for play to overlap with the repetition, discipline, and stamina required to solve a puzzle or to turn a square of colored paper into a crimson peony, a jade crane, or a turquoise rowboat. Standing in the remains of the powerhouse, I look at what’s left of the old machinery. I know it is a matter of steel cables and pulleys, but when I think of those old photographs of crowds coming up the mountain to play cards, drink champagne, have beauty contests, I wonder if it isn’t really the sheer weight of their commitment to play that is pulling them up the incline.

n the annals of Kingston’s Rondout-area renovation stories, realtor Jonathan Korn’s daring purchase of a squalid 1860s Federal-style brick townhouse on Ravine Street reads like a bodice-ripper. Against seemingly insurmountable odds, the petite but upright house, abused by cruel fortune, somehow manages to catch the eye of the man who really loves her. He won’t listen to people who say she’s not worth the trouble. After nearly four years of dramatic ups and downs—as in a gut renovation that hits a few snags—there’s a Hollywood ending: a glass-tiled chemistry-lab kitchen; a light-bathed penthouse master bedroom with a view of the Wurts Street bridge; and a spacious open parlor and dining area where four closet-size rooms used to be. A study in contrasts, Korn’s home is like a classic yacht. It’s clearly not a conventional real estate investment. It might be a money pit.That’s okay with Korn. He’s not leaving until he can no longer make it up the restored and restructured staircases. Perched proudly on a hillside, with straightforward lines and a “secret garden”style pitched backyard, the house reminds Korn of San Francisco. There, comparable dwellings cost several times the undisclosed—but clearly princely—sum he’s put into his home near the Hudson. He loves smelling the water and spying the sailboat masts. “I believe in these old cities by the river,” the realtor says. A Home, Not a Pork Belly Making the once-ramshackle townhouse ship-shape cost more on a per-foot basis than new luxury construction.Through the unromantic eyes of a mortgage banker—perish the thought!—the intimate, 1,000 square-foot, three-storey house cost more than it’s worth. But that’s really the point, says Korn, who funded the renovation personally. You can’t put a price on true love or preserving history. “It’s our home, not a pork belly future!” exclaims Korn, 56, a man of many talents and enthusiasms, who used to work on Wall Street, has an MBA, and lived for a year in Japan. He bought property in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood back in 1980, another bold bet.

Korn’s longtime friend Dom Covello, of Hudson Valley Inspectors in Glenford, advised him not to buy the house. Among its flaws: a muddy, water-filled basement; a huge, dangerous tree looming over the entrance; no insulation; sewage and structuralsupport issues. The house failed the inspection, but Korn bought it anyway, in June 2006, at the top of the market. Korn and Covello haven’t spoken since. From 4,000 Square Feet to 1,000 Tired of his 4,000-square-foot Arts and Crafts four-square in the Delaware County village of Margaretville, where he’d lived for 11 years, a realtor friend introduced Korn to the Rondout area.When he saw the pinkish luminosity of the riverside at sunset, Korn was struck with longing for a home the same vintage as the famed Hudson River School of 19th-century painters and pursued it. Currently single, the art collector shares space with two dogs and two cats, who lead lives of enviable attention and serenity. The avid hiker and gardener runs a tight ship. Not only does the commercial refrigerator have a glass door, mandating deli-display tidiness, but there’s no freezer, reflecting Korn’s keep-it-simple ethos. The open pantry, with its neat array of organic canned beans and other basics, looks like a ship’s galley. That’s no accident. Korn grew up around boats on Long Island and in Boca Raton, Florida, where his family wintered. The compact kitchen, which has a view of the garden, has quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Easy to clean, with a subtle Japanese vibe, there’s a stand of chopsticks and some fine ceramic bowls. The kitchen sink’s open below, because underneath the kitchen sink is “the scariest place on earth,” claims Korn. Jonathan edited his belongings down to the bare necessities, which he finds very freeing. It’s easy to maintain a smaller home with minimal stuff.The snug scale of the house and its central location launch him into the eclectic, gentrifying neighborhood, where he’s made close friends. “I always preferred apartment and urban living to the big home country life,” says Korn. “I never feel like I am waiting for the other eight people to come home.”

Tasteful Textiles Throughout the house are Roman shades, cushions, and accent pillows of William Morris fabrics cut down from the formal drapes of his prior residence. Morris, who died in 1896, was an English textile designer, writer, and preservationist widely regarded as a founding father of modern environmentalism. Janet Winnie, 52, a self-employed seamstress based in Margaretville, enjoys sewing for Korn. From her perspective, the Morris fabrics are an ideal weight which cut neatly and drape elegantly. Korn’s favorite pattern is “Willow Bough,” which is “simple with lovely movement,” he says. Salvaging Beauty Polishing the jewels of the original structure—hand-hewn floor planks, banister spindles, and architectural columns—cost a premium. Everywhere else, Korn stripped the house down to the brick and studs and built new, as green and energyefficient as possible. “The fl oors are nicely misshapen and wavy,” says Alan Laycock, 57, of British American Restorations in Hurley, who refinished them three times in order to “wash out” the orange undertone Korn rejected as wrong for his sophisticated neutral palette. Benjamin Moore paints were used throughout; the creamy white exterior’s called Sailcloth. Laycock, an expert on wood restoration and period finishes, says he helped Korn maximize the “hidden beauty in everything.” It took special equipment to remove the radiators, which were restored off-premises and made to function with a boiler that’s 98 percent efficient. Laycock finished the repurposed radiators with a vintage-look paint-patina formula developed originally for the photographer Annie Leibovitz, a longtime client. A Metal Spiderweb Steve Pasqua, 25, made and installed artistic window bars, door security, kitchen shelves, and other pieces of functional metal art all over the house, in a mixture of stainless steel and forged iron. A metal spider web featuring a winged bat secures the front-door glass. “It’s not a Halloween decoration, it has great personal significance. I smile every time I see it,” says Korn, adding that “the neighbors call it the house with the spiderweb.”

The Last Contractor Korn was referred to Pasqua by his final and most satisfactory contractor, Richard “Rick” Krumenacker, 52. The Stanfordville resident says he began working on the Ravine Street residence in 2008 and had to do lots of remedial work. “There’s no education or licensing system in our state for contractors,” said the career builder. “Anyone with a hammer can quit IBM and call themselves a contractor.” Krumenacker, who studied with old-timers, describes Korn as a “dream client” because he prefers the more artsy jobs. Considerate of escalating costs, Rick tried to use materials left over by the previous contractor. For example, he styled the remnant cobblestones and tiles in the downstairs bathroom to economically echo the drama of the master bath. He also finished Jonathan’s beloved laundry center, which boasts radiant-heat floors, a flat-screen television, a cedar closet, and a massive pine folding table, and continues to fix problems throughout the house. “Please, Jennifer, let’s not talk about money,” stresses Korn repeatedly. “It cost more than it should have, but it’s amazing how satisfying, and also reasonable, it can be to work with serious, committed artists.” RESOURCES

A New Home for Unsung Shrubs by Michelle Sutton

S

hrubs have moved out from the stuffy foundations of our homes into our free-spirited perennial borders. Mixed with perennials, annuals, and bulbs, shrubs give beauty all through the growing season, especially if they are given enough room to express themselves (seldom the case along house foundations!). “In the perennial border, you can use shrubs to cheat,” says Cornell horticulture professor Nina Bassuk. “For instance, a Goldmound spirea fills space with bright foliage all season yet doesn’t require as much attention as the perennials needed to fill the same space. A burgundy-leaf Diablo ninebark has a pleasing vase shape and provides a beautiful foliage backdrop for herbaceous plants. When either shrub comes into bloom (pink flowers on the Goldmound, white flowers on the Diablo), it’s a bonus.” In Dr. Bassuk’s five-acre home landscape outside Ithaca, she has been employing this technique as a way to gradually reduce maintenance, and the results are no less showy. For this border-enhancing purpose, look for shrubs that give visual interest in at least three seasons (four would be even better, as in winter hardy selections of boxwood like Winter Green). Colorful foliage is a real plus, or if the leaves are green, they should be a handsome deep or glossy green. Late summer or fall flowering is desirable, as it brings bloom at an unexpected time. The overall habit, or shape, of the shrub should be attractive (granted, some pruning may be needed to assist).

So long as one is breaking convention and eschewing tired foundation plantings, one might as well look for shrubs that are unusual and underutilized as well as being tough and lovely. Here are some to consider. Purple Smokebush (Cotinus coggygria Royal Purple, and other cultivars) is so named for its colorful foliage and fuzzy flowers that collectively bring to mind plumes of smoke. It is a great alternative to the prickly, invasive, and ubiquitous purple barberry and the less-than-stalwart purple sand cherry. Purple smokebush can get to be 10 feet tall and wide, but cutting it back hard every other year in early spring will keep it more compact and healthy and ensure the best foliage color (although in those hard-pruning years, the flower show will be greatly reduced). Full sun is also necessary for deep color. Smokebush tolerates a range of soil types and pH and can withstand periods of drought like a real trooper. 6/11 CHRONOGRAM HOME 29

Sweetshrub (Calycanthus floridus) is a favorite for Francis Groeters, owner of Catskill Native Nursery in Kerhonkson. “Sweetshrub is one of our best native plants that isn’t used nearly enough,” says Groeters. “It’s not very showy from a distance, but upon closer look, the deep maroon flowers pop out against the deep green leaves. It’s not picky and grows in sun or shade, good or bad soil. It’s drought tolerant, disease free, and deer resistant. It also smells wonderfully like mulled cider, even when not in bloom.” Seven-son Flower (Heptacodium miconioides) gets really big—15 feet tall and 8 feet wide—and can be trained as a large shrub (multistem) or small tree (single stem). Each flower cluster contains seven tiny white fl owers. It blooms in late summer and fall, at a time when so many conventional shrubs have already packed it in. The flowers are very attractive to butterflies and bees of all kinds, and you can expect a blooming seven-son to fairly vibrate on sunny days. After the petals fall, showy fusch-ia calyces (outer whorls of protective, modified leaves) remain behind. The leaves are deep green and very handsome. Penny Augustine of Augustine Landscaping and Nursery in Kingston has a seven-son specimen in her home gardens that gets a lot of attention from visitors. In her case, it’s been trained as a small, multistem tree. “Growers will give me unusual or marginally hardy things to try out,” Augustine says. “I’ve been collecting these underutilized plants for 30 years, and the sevenson is one of my favorites. It’s beautiful all seasons, and the peeling bark reminds me of a birch tree.” Some have also likened the bark to that of crape myrtles in the South. Bottlebrush Buckeye (Aesculus parviflora) is a “handsome shrub that can be used in both the wild or tamed landscape,” says Francis Groeters. “It has an attractive broad-rounded habit, interesting dark green foliage, and wonderful flowers that spike upwards. It often suckers and forms extensive colonies by underground runners, especially in moist, shady situations, so give it some room to be the best it can be. We like to use it for privacy plantings and in hedgerows, as well as for lawn specimens when space allows. We have a large example at the nursery that hums with insect life when the flowers are in bloom.”

Limelight Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata Limelight) is my favorite among hydrangeas—and perhaps stretches the criteria of underutilized, because more people have discovered it each year since its commercial release in 2002. In late summer, the large, longlasting fl ower panicles emerge white, then turn chartreuse-green, then turn rose-pink in the fall, then fade to a handsome wheat color for winter interest. At any stage, they make excellent dried flowers. Unlike some other hydrangea types that flower on last year’s buds (buds that can then be susceptible to winter damage), Limelight flowers on buds formed in the same year. This means you can cut it back hard in late winter or early spring and still have a fantastic flower show. It can get to be eight by eight feet or more, but if that’s too big for your border, you can try the new Little Lime, which is a third to half the size. Limelight can thrive in less-than-ideal soils and is not readily susceptible to diseases or insects. It’s won numerous awards, including the 2008 Royal Horticulture Society Award of Garden Merit, but it promises not to forget the “little shrubs” as it climbs to fame. Black Lace Elderberry (Sambucus nigra Black Lace) has gorgeous, ferny black foliage and bears light pink flower clusters in late spring. Like all elderberries, it can get quite large (6 feet tall by 8 feet wide), but unlike its green-leaf, native counterpart, Sambucus canadensis, Black Lace has a more wide-spreading habit. However, like its green-leaf elderberry cousin, it can tolerate wet site conditions and some shade. Birds like the fruits. Regular pruning keeps the foliage deepest, glossiest black. “Anyone who sees this shrub on display is going to want one,” says Penny Augustine. “They just need to discover it!” Shrubs in general are often overlooked when it comes to a specific site condition in our landscape: seasonal flooding. Many of us despair of having woody plants in natural or created lowlands or swales. For these sites, there are shrubs that can tolerate seasonal “wet feet.” However, as Nina Bassuk explains, these places are not always wet; by late summer, the same site can be quite dry. “The key to successful plant selection for these sites is to choose plants that can tolerate wet and dry periods,” she says. Here is a list of shrubs that Dr. Bassuk recommends for that very dichotomy: False Indigo Bush (Amorpha fruticosa) Black Chokecherry (Aronia melanocarpa) Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) Gray Dogwood (Cornus racemosa) Silky Dogwood (Cornus amomum) Redtwig Dogwood (Cornus sericea or Cornus alba) Winterberry Holly (Ilex verticillata) Bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica) (for drier, more upland edge spots) Dwarf Purple Osier Willow (Salix purpurea Nana)

Sculpted shrubbery by Keith Buesing

T

ake a stroll around landscaper Keith Buesing’s lush property nestled into the foothills of the Gunks in Gardiner, and at first you almost miss the garden embellishments that soulfully blend into the natural setting. The landscape is outlined with flourishing plantings, stone and mossy paths, whimsical sculptures, and even a driftwood climbing structure. Buesing considers his property the “lab� where he “transforms the land and permeates ideas.� Buesing is part landscaper, part environmental artist, and part visionary. Landscaping is not only in Buesing’s soul; it’s in his DNA. His parents owned a nursery for 40 years in Rockland County. It’s no surprise Buesing approaches landscape design like an artist. “I think of the work I do as sculpting with plants.� This special relationship between Buesing and the land he “sculpts� is created from the contours and curves of the land, and artifacts he finds—“leftover indigenous stuff.� Buesing is locally known for his large garden topiary installations. “I like to create things that you can interact with.� Topiary is the horticultural art of training perennial plants by clipping and pruning them into a living sculpture. The first topiaries were said to have been in Roman gardens more than 2,000 years ago. Topiaries can be both fancifully witty and classically formal. After experiencing Buesing’s outdoor home environment, we went down the road to the Gardiner Library and Ireland Corners to view examples of his community installations. I asked Buesing about his design process: “With topiary, most clients leave the idea up to me. One thing leads to another as the shape evolves. I use evergreen plants—native boxwood and juniper ground cover to arrange the threedimensional shapes.The maintenance required is mostly watering and trimming.� Much to the delight of the residents of Gardiner, perched on the lawn of the Gardiner Library lies a green topiary lizard reading a stone book. The book, in which Buesing inscribed the words Love, Lizard, Life, Lapidary,is sure to raise the spirits of inspired book lovers young and old. It certainly is delightfully unexpected to encounter a 25-foot-long “Stegodile� at the intersection known as Ireland Corners—Routes 208 and 44/55 in the town of Gardiner. Miraculously, Buesing transformed a mundane state highway intersection into anything but ordinary. Buesing says the topiary creature that graces the crossroads began as a crocodile that has taken on the characteristics of a Stegosaurus. This 10-year-old topiary installation was transported from Buesing’s family nursery. He likens the contrasting colors and tactile feel of topiary to a stuffed animal. “I love rubbing my hands over it.� It was obvious to me that in his rustic retreat, the seemingly laid-back Buesing favors a relaxed environment. When I asked him what he was currently working on, I expected a description of a dense, mossy mountainside hide-away garden. Instead, Buesing is working on a formal English garden. Since Buesing is such a versatile landscaper, I have no doubt that meticulously edged hedges, spiral topiary, and dramatic walled gardens would be totally within his realm. With the natural landscape as his canvas, the multitalented Keith Buesing truly inspires garden possibilities. —Ronnie Citron-Fink

magine this fantastical occurrence: A letter arrives from your local utility company, with your name addressed.You see it, and smile. Wait, wait, there’s more to this hypothetical than just the opening scene to some kind of macabre B-movie script. This is no ordinary envelope, and what lies within is hardly your everyday utility bill. It is, in fact, that holiest of holies: a check. They are giving you money. Ah, to dream, perchance to break even. Yet for David Shepler, this is no fantasy; actually, it has become de rigueur. Since 2009, when he purchased the first house in visionary builder Anthony Aebi’s New Paltz “Green Acres” development, paying utility bills has become a distant memory. When Shepler—who received a tidy $175 check from Central Hudson last year—began looking for a home in 2007, alternative energy efficiencies were a high priority. Yet what he continued to find were housing options that, though offering certain sustainable energy appeals, fell short of expectations. “There were enticements of this feature or that,” Shepler recalls, “but no one was doing the complete job.” Nobody, that is, except Anthony Aebi. Any conversation about sustainable energy and its proponents, for better or worse, is likely to end up with a less-than-flattering term bandied about: the infamous “tree-hugger.” Anthony Aebi, however, does not fit the description—he is no pie-in-the-sky idealist, but a pragmatist. Bottom line, Aebi simply wanted to build with integrity; the energy efficiency and drastic reduction in carbon footprint are just by-products of doing it right. “I was building stick-built homes, and I realized:This is just stupid,” says Aebi. “We build these ‘temporary’ homes so we can keep repairing them, and build another one in a hundred years.” Reminiscent of another notable architectural visionary, Frank Lloyd Wright, Aebi went looking for alternative materials and processes that made more sense. Taking inspiration from European techniques, he began by changing from wood framing to the use of Insulated Concrete Forms, or ICFs, which provide a long-lasting and air-tight foundation. Superefficient triple-pane windows, and insulation—not only along the attic roof, but beneath the concrete slab as well—complete Aebi’s thermal envelope design. From there, a sustainable energy system simply developed out of necessity. All the energy necessary—for heat, hot water, air-conditioning, and cooking—comes from above, below, and within. Forty-five gleaming photovoltaic solar panels adorn the south-facing slope of David Shepler’s roof, providing electricity, while a built-in geothermal system produces heat and cooling. A heatrecovery reclamation system captures, filters, and recirculates tempered air and moisture from the kitchen and bathrooms, ensuring not only proper humidity, but also superior air quality. Finally, as realtor Wendie Reid, who has been integral in Aebi’s process since the beginning, points out, the enormous tax rebates available are helping transform thoughtful homebuyers into environmental activists. “With about $30,000 in tax credits available, it makes it a lot more appealing to be socially conscious,” says Reid. “I don’t like the word ‘green’ because it’s been misused too often,” adds Aebi. “The question is, what’s practical?” For more information: visit www.greenacresnewpaltz.com. —Gregory Schoenfeld

SUMMER ENTERTAINING

Do Try This At Home Summertime and the Drinkin’ is Easy By Holly Tarson Photographs by Amber C. McPhail

G

ood-bye mountains of snow and fussy fancy indoor entertaining. “It’s summertime and the living is easy!” gushes Bruce Littlefield, quoting George Gershwin. A party maven and arbiter of American fun, Littlefield suggests our summer get-togethers should be just that. Easy. Because everyone wants to let their hair down and have a good time. One of his basic party principles is having an array of drinks ready for guests as they arrive. A selection of cold locally brewed beers like Keegan Ales is a great start. Add an inventive cocktail and you’ll strike just the right chord for summer fun. A bounty of seasonal produce and ever-abundant herbs inspires mixologists up and down the Hudson River as they incorporate these flavors in their summertime drinks. Sally Rich, the “Bar Chef ” at Karma Lounge in Poughkeepsie says, “Everybody is looking for something a little more eclectic and adventurous in the cocktail world.” Some of these adventurous cocktail creators have shared their warm-weather recipes. So don’t be shy. Do try this at home. “Sangrias are always awesome, it’s a great barbeque cocktail,” notes Rich. Made a couple days ahead, a pickle jar filled with a Sangria of colorful seasonal fruit is a beautiful, low-maintenance “house beverage” for a party. Super Summery White Sangria Sally Rich, Karma Lounge in Poughkeepsie 2 Magnums of Sauvignon Blanc 1 32-oz. container of pure fruit nectar (peach, mango, or pear) 1 Cup Brandy 1/2 Cup Cointreau or Triple Sec 2 Cups Sour Mix Dice up 5 cups of fresh citrus, fresh pear (skin removed), peaches and white grape halves. Put it all in a large glass jar. Leave it in the fridge for 2 days, stirring every once in a while. Add 1/2 cup of Mint Simple Syrup.* Serve in a tall glass filled with ice, a few scoops of the fruit and garnish with a sprig of mint. * Simple Syrup with Mint Combine 2 parts sugar and 1 part water with some fresh mint. Boil until it thickens. Strain and refrigerate.

Refreshing pitchers of drinks are key to warm weather entertaining. They get the host out from behind a bar, and when the host is having fun, the guests are having fun, says Littlefield. It doesn’t have to have alcohol to be the talk of the party. Sean Nutley from Blue Cashew Kitchen Pharmacy in Rhinebeck has a few party tricks up his sleeve. Using a Bodum pitcher that strains as it pours, he immerses chunks of watermelon, mint, and cucumber in seltzer. “I discovered it in Paris,” Nutley says. He’s also pretty excited about a “crazy” new gadget called the Twist n’ Sparkle by isi, which will carbonate any beverage. (Most devices like this only carbonate water.) Take any summer juice and make it bubbly for a fun non-alcoholic drink, or mix with some spirits and turn it into a cocktail. Keeping it local, one of the first fruits to appear at our CSAs and Farmers Markets is Strawberries. Here’s a twist on a Strawberry Margarita, incorporating fresh mint. At 36 Main they source their berries from the Huguenot Street CSA. Strawberry Mint Margarita Theresa Fall, 36 Main in New Paltz Muddle in a tumbler glass: 2 or 3 Fresh Strawberries A few Fresh Mint leaves 3 oz. of Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice Add ice, 1 oz. of Cointreau. Fill with Silver Patron Tequila. Shake well. Garnish with a strawberry or a piece of mint. Served at The Local in Rhinebeck, the Thai Boxer is a “summery offering with a kick,” says Chef Wesley Dier. At the restaurant he pairs it with a Soy Cola Glazed Pork Belly and Watermelon Salad. If glazing pork belly seems a bit ambitious, some Wasabi Spiced Nuts would also make a great party pairing. Thai Boxer Wesley Dier,The Local in Rhinebeck Fill a 14 oz. tall Collins glass with ice cubes Add 2 oz. Ketel One Kaffir Lime Vodka Add juice of one lime wedge Add 1 oz. Coconut milk 6/11 CHRONOGRAM SUMMER ENTERTAINING 37

ABOVE: THERESA FALL OF 36 MAIN MUDDLING STRAWBERRIES FOR HER STRAWBERRY MINT MARGARITA. PREVIOUS (L-R): PEACH JULEP (DOUGLASS MILLER, CIA); CAIPIRINHA (PAUL MALONEY, STOCKADE TAVERN); STRAWBERRY MINT MARGARITA (THERESA FALL, 36 MAIN); SUPER SUMMERY WHITE SANGRIA (SALLY RICH, KARMA LOUNGE); THAI BOXER (WESLEY DIER, THE LOCAL).

Shake well and top with additional ice and Ginger Ale. Garnish with Lime Wedge and Mint Sprig. The Caipirinha is the National Cocktail of Brazil, so surely it can withstand the heat of July. Called a “built” drink because you build it right in the glass, the Caipirinha is made with Cachaca, a type of rum. It’s the third largest selling spirit in the world and yes, you can find it around here. Paul Maloney of the Stockade Tavern in Kingston says you shouldn’t skimp on the ice, it’s a really strong drink. (He allows that you could add some simple syrup.) Here’s a refreshing, not-so-sweet drink for the dog days ahead. Caipirinha (National cocktail of Brazil) Paul Maloney, Stockade Tavern in Kingston Muddle in a rocks glass: A Demerara sugar cube 1/2 lime cut into pieces, put on top of the sugar cube Demerara is a coarse, unrefined sugar that melts into a syrup as it scrapes the oils from the lime peel. Put crushed ice on top of everything, which keeps all the lime pieces at the bottom of the glass while you drink it. Top with 1 1/2 oz. of Cachaca As an instructor at the Culinary Institute of America, Douglass Miller knows his libations. He explains that we tend to drink lighter spirits like vodka, gin, and lighter style rums in summer. “But on the flip side, there’s nothing like a mint julep in the summer time, which is a bourbon drink.” Miller says crushed ice, mint, sugar and any type of alcohol technically constitutes a julep. But his favorite for summer is a peach julep. Use those juicy ripe peaches in August for this delicious julep variation. It can easily be adapted to make an entire pitcher. Peach Julep Douglass Miller, CIA Instructor 1.5 ounces Bourbon 2 sprigs of mint 1 ripe peach ½ ounce simple syrup

Peel and cut the peach into 1” cubes. Take 1/4 cup of the diced peaches, sprig of mint, simple syrup, and place them in the bottom of a cocktail mixing glass. Gently bruise the mint and peach cubes. You want to release the oils of the mint and combine it with the fruit. Add the bourbon and crushed ice. Stir it with a spoon until the contents are cold. Pour the contents into a rocks glass and garnish the drink with a fresh sprig of mint. Once the drinks are ready, it’s time for food. Forget the haute cuisine. Remember? Easy. Bruce Littlefield suggests a menu that involves guests in the preparation. Nutley seconds that, “Keep people helping and talking when you are entertaining. Give them something to do that’s interactive—it’s funner!” Something like “Make Your Own Tacos,” “Build a Sundae,” or “Decorate Your Own Cupcakes” encourages guests to socialize. Bruce adds a few tips to keep the party going into the evening. Be sure to turn off your motion sensor lights. “Nothing kills a mood more than a glaring light, suddenly.” Light every candle you own. And, “if you can have a campfire, always have a campfire.” Throw in a little nostalgia by roasting marshmallows and making S’mores. It’s a social environment that people can gather around. Collect old quilts at garage sales and keep them in a basket ready for evening hours. Then guests can wrap up, hunker down, and relax well into the night. Whether you opt for a theme party (one of Littlefield’s favorites is a cowboy/girl party with hay bales for seating, and hats and holsters from the dollar store at the door for costumes) or just a backyard barbeque, keep it easy, take lots of pictures, and make lots of memories.

SONIC RENDEZVOUS

2011 Summer Music Festivals

W

e say it every year, it seems, but this past winter was indeed the One We Thought Would Never End. For real this time. A new Little Ice Age marked by snowfall that was beyond absurd and topped with torturously long, wind-whipped stretches of temps well below seasonal averages. Yet, impossible as it may have seemed in the depths of that late January/early February nadir, here we are:We actually made it! And along with the gorgeous weather our reward is live music, lots of it. All kinds, in fact. Music again being played at festivals that feature our spectacular geography as the backdrop, or at least offering the welcome chance to hit the scenic roads in pursuit of exceptional sounds. There are many such gatherings we simply didn’t have room for here, but below are a few of the brightest: some recurring faves, as well as a few new discoveries. So, hey, what are you waiting for?

Wilco Solid Sound Festival (June 24-26) This newish musical convergence was founded by Grammy-winning alt-rock juggernaut Wilco. Back again at MassMOCA in North Adams, Massachusetts, its adventurous bill includes the Levon Helm Band, Thurston Moore, Syl Johnson, Pajama Party (featuring Neil Finn), Sic Alps, Here We Go Magic, Dave Douglas and Brass Ecstasy, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, and Wilco offshoots Pillow Wand (Thurston Moore and Nels Cline), Pronto, the Autumn Defense, and Glenn Kotche. John Hodgman of “The Daily Show” curates the Comedy Cabaret segment starring his cast mate Wyatt Cenac and others. www.solidsoundfestival.com

WILCO SOLID SOUND FESTIVAL AT MASS MOCA

JetLAG (June 24-26) A Russian-American music festival? Da! This intriguing weekend lands at Full Moon Resort in Big Indian to bring, as per concert guide Songkick, “blazing rock ’n’ roll drive and soulful campfire songs, fi erce acid rave, and the traditional music of a Yiddish shtetl. Take a rainbow gathering, add Burning Man, mix with a splash of USSR circa ’80, pour in the amazing Russian indie band Auktyon and the post-everything conceptual troubadour Psoy Korolenko, pour in hundreds of drunken Russians. Tents, vodka, marinated herring…” Add to that Ned Rothenberg, Little Annie, Jonathan Kane, and more. www.jetlag2011.com

Camp Bisco (July 7-9) Begun a decade ago by jam band the Disco Biscuits, this groovy soiree at Indian Lookout Country Club in Mariaville rambles on over five outdoor stages with its founders, Four Tet, Shpongle Live (first-ever US appearance), Ratatat, Yeasayer, Death from Above 1979, Das Racist, Conspirator, the Japanese Popstars, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Bassnectar, and dozens more. DJ tents will host a “Special Disco Version DJ Set” by LCD Sound System’s James Murphy and Pat Mahoney and showcases by the DFA and Mad Decent labels and Roc-A-Fella Records’ Damon Dash—but bring your own tent for the on-site camping. www.campbisco.net GATHERING OF THE VIBES JULY 21-24.

Edna Project (poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay set to music), “Pump Boys and the Dinettes” composer Jim Wann, Icelandic shoegazers Hellvar, Arborea, Sweet Soubrette, local circus performers, and more. As we go to press, the overlapping, multi-venue Hudson Music Festival is still being assembled, but in the years to come the organizers hope to grow the three-day affair into a weeklong bash. Check website for schedule and more information. www.goodmusica.com; www.HudsonMusicFest.com

The Big Up (July 28-30) Starting its ascent in 2007 as the Shirefest and going through a few other name changes, this three-day, green-leaning, DJ/electro/jam band-heavy meltdown at Ghent’s Sunnyview Farms presents 50-plus hours of music on multiple stages, along with artistic and cultural happenings and multimedia experiences. Mixing it up this year are EOTO, Tipper, Big Gigantic, Digital Tape Machine (featuring Joel Cummins and Kris Myers of Umphrey’s McGee), Marco Benevento, Abakus, Higher Organix, and, dude, so much more. www.thebigup.com

Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival (July 14-17) Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (July 22-24) The region’s longstanding twin pillars of American roots music are back with the bangs we’ve come to expect. Held at its second home, Walsh Farm in Oak Hill, the camper-friendly Grey Fox kicks off with host band Dry Branch Fire Squad, and follows with Sam Bush, Del McCoury, O’Brien Party of Seven, Peter Rowan, the SteelDrivers, Crooked Still, Red Stick Ramblers, and lots more. Falcon Ridge, at Dodds Farm in Hillsdale, has Greg Brown, Mary Chapin Carpenter, C. J. Chenier, Mary Gauthier, Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky, Red Molly, Spuyten Duyvil, and others. www.greyfoxbluegrass.com; www.falconridgefolk.com

Warwick Valley Jazz Festival (August 18-21) TERO SAARINEN WILL PERFORM AT BARD SUMMERSCAPE ON JULY 7.

Bard SummerScape (July 7-August 21) Once again, Bard College takes the life and work of a single composer as its loose theme—this time it’s Finnish master Jean Sibelius—and around that builds a dazzlingly diverse program of musical, theatrical, and dance performances, panels, and film screenings at sites around the Annandale-on-Hudson campus. Besides the usual packed concert schedule, this installment boasts the Tero Saarinen dance company, Henrik Ibsen’s “The Wild Duck,” Richard Strauss’s “Die Liebe der Dance,” and Noël Coward’s “Bitter Sweet.” The magical Spiegeltent returns with cabaret favorites like the reliably racy Wau Wau Sisters, Joey Arias, and the Bindlestiff Family Circus, plus top ethnic music acts and more. www.fishercenter.bard.edu

Berkshire Choral Festival (July 16, 23, 30, and August 6) PhoeniciaVOICEFEST (August 4-7)

Bluestock (August 26-28) Hunter Mountain is the site of this first-ever blues summit, which is off to a decidedly rousing start with the legendary likes of Gregg Allman, Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, and hot newcomers like the New Orleans brass band Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue and action-star-turned-blues-player Steven Seagal (!). Also: Tommy Castro and the LRBR (featuring Joe Louis Walker, Deanna Bogart, and Rick Estrin), Tab Benoit, Bob Margolin and Matt Hill, Alexis P. Suter, Bruce Katz, Albert Cummings, and many others. www.bluestock.com SNOOP DOGG AT CAMP BISCO

Now held in the air-conditioned Jackman L. Stewart Center at the Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts, the Berkshire Choral Festival is celebrating 30 years of top choristers, soloists, and conductors and repertoire for voices and symphony orchestra. 2011 offers “Sacred American Voices” (works by Barnett, Bernstein, and Hailstork), Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Monteverdi’s vespers, and more. PhoeniciaVOICEFEST (formerly the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice) continues its town-wide mission of “celebrating the human voice in all its multi-faceted glory.”This year features gospel diva Rozz Morerhead, Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” Arab musician Shaheen, Vivaldi’s “Gloria,” kids’ fare, and much more. www.choralfest.org; www.phoeniciavoicefest.com

Now in its second year, this Orange County jazz summit presents an array of artists at venues throughout the town of Warwick. Booked as of this writing are 17-piece big band the New York Swing Exchange, the Rick Savage 4tet featuring veteran drummer Elliot Zigmund, the Skye Jazz Quartet featuring Gabriele and Joe Vincent Tranchina, the Chris Persad Group featuring Todd Williams, and the quartet of Jeff Ciampa, Mark Egan, Joel Rosenblatt, and Billy Drewes.

Hudson.Water.Music. (Wednesdays July 20-August 17) Hudson Music Festival (August 12-14) Hudson has certainly become a buzzing cultural hub, especially when it comes to truly diverse musical offerings, and these two brand-new fests are ear-pleasing testament to that effect.

FRANK VIGNOLA AND VINNY RANIOLO

June 10 Snarky Puppy Opening Act Christian Pabst

June 10. It’s not a stretch to say that Frank Vignola is one of the most amazing guitarists you will ever witness. His late mentor, the great Les Paul, strongly agreed, naming the Orange County jazzman as one of his top five players. When it comes to Django Reinhardt’s gypsy style, there’s simply no better American practitioner today. This Rosendale Cafe reappearance pairs him with Vinny Raniolo, a sideman of Bucky Pizzarelli, Tommy Emmanuel, Tony Trishka, and Ken Peplowski.

June 10. Easily the most fiery flame keepers of Scottish folk, the Tannahill Weavers have been kicking out the kilted jams for more than 35 years. Built around founding members Roy Gullane and Phil Smillee, the all-acoustic band uses guitar, flute, bagpipe, fiddle, and bodhran with the driving elan of a rock ’n’ roll act, delivering traditional and original tunes with the raucous passion of fellow Celtic revisionists the Pogues, whose retitled version of the standard “Jock Stewart” was likely influenced by the Tannahills’. (Alexis P. Suter returns June 4; Ellis Paul strums June 5.) 8:30pm. $30, $35. Pawling. (518) 855-1300; www.townecrier.com.

NOVELLER June 13. Here’s another example of why the Spotty Dog is one of the area’s leading hubs for adventurous sounds. New York Press calls the music of Noveller, aka solo Brooklyn experimental guitarist and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate, “simultaneously soothing and mindwrecking noise, along with a compositional depth that most loud-for-the-hell-of-it guitar droners never reach.” No wonder she’s been a frequent collaborator with Rhys Chatham, Lee Ranaldo, Glenn Branca, Cold Cave, Parts & Labor, Carla Bozulich, and David Wm. Sims. Alexander Turnquist opens. (Two Dark Birds fly in June 4; the Powder Kegs explode June 5.) 8pm. $5. Hudson. (518) 671-6006; www.thespottydog.com.

MUSIC FROM MARCATA June 16. Run by ace engineer Kevin McMahon, Gardiner studio Marcata Recording has been responsible for acclaimed albums by national acts (Walkmen, Titus Andronicus, Swans). But McMahon is also big on the local love, and has thusly assembled this evening of up-and-coming Hudson Valley alternative bands he’s nurturing—Battle Ave., SuddenLand, Breakfast in Fur, and My Other Friend—at Market Market café.

CD REVIEWS DIET KONG BEAUTIFUL BLACKOUT (2010, PATRIARCH RECORDINGS)

Try as I might, I find it impossible to sit still while this disc is spinning. And I can’t stop spinning it. Yet another of the impressive new alternative bands to emerge from the Hudson Valley, Diet Kong consists of two Brooklyn-to-Catskills transplants—graphic designer/actor/guitarist Keith Gladysz and his wife, videographer/designer/vocalist Jenn Penn—and drummer and Woodstock Music Shop owner Jeff Harrigfeld. Influenced by Depeche Mode, Digital Underground, New Order, Devo, Jane’s Addiction, Radiohead, and Beck, this trio spews out a high-energy sound that is raw and flailing as it punches you square in the kisser. Beautiful Blackout is Diet Kong’s third release, an EP of danceable, bulldozing riffs with impressive production. And at five songs it’s a party that’s over far too soon. “Shoot the Freak� starts off with no-apologies, eccentric electro-rock, followed by the infectious art rock of “A Forest� (check out the track’s performance-concept video on YouTube). “Skin Color Crayon� is edgy and driving, while “Open� is straight outta the garage; the title track rounds off the disc with the perfect blend of new wave and dance pop. The band’s shows add a bizarre and unpredictable video element, making it a blast to catch live. Comparable to the likes of Arcade Fire, the Pixies, and Bryan Ferry, Diet Kong has indie gold written all over it. www.dietkong.com —Sharon Nichols

IF, BWANA ASSEMBLE.AGE! (2010, MUTABLE MUSIC)

If, Bwana, the member-shuffling electroacoustic ensemble led by Chester’s Al Margolis, was last covered here in October 2008, via a review of Favorite Encores (Pogus Productions), a split release with composer Noah Creshevsky. The following year saw the release of the project’s similarly daring 31 on New York’s GD Stereo imprint. And now, with Assemble. Age!, Age! those on the hunt for weird sounds should again prick up their ears, as the new disc finds Margolis’s sonically surprising adventures continuing just as intrepidly as before. Margolis is a musician who straddles the rock and experimental worlds: When he’s not clicking away at the programs and processors that collate and mash up the samples used for his If, Bwana guise, he plays bass for long-running art-punks the Styrenes, a band rooted in the same 1970s Northeast Ohio avant scene that birthed Pere Ubu and Devo. Like If, Bwana’s last outing, Assemble. Age! draws on the leader’s ties to Kingston’s forward-thinking Deep Listening Institute to once more feature the voice of DLI artist Lisa Barnard Kelley. The extended centerpiece “Death to the 8 Notesâ€? is a dark tour de force, interweaving Kelly’s sinister snickers and unsettling narrative (“I was cut in half at the waistâ€?) and Margolis’s samples with Monique BuzzartÊ’s swelling trombone, Jacqueline Martell’s creepy flute, and Tom Hamilton’s squelching synth. But perhaps most revelatory is the all-vocal “DTTO Lisa,â€? in which Kelly’s rambling spoken and wordless improvisations are chopped up and reworked into a nine-minute kinetic epic. www.mutablemusic.com —Peter Aaron

VARIOUS ARTISTS TRIBES HILL: WE’RE ALL HERE (2010, TRIBES HILL RECORDS)

Tribes Hill is a thriving lower Hudson Valley-based label that also functions as an industrious non-profit collective of diverse folk musicians deeply committed to bringing people together through song. We’re All Here, the organization’s fourth release, furthers their Here mission by packing 34 quality tracks onto two CDs. It’s a troubadour smorgasbord; young and old, slick and quirky, political and personal, trad and experimental. Although acoustic string instruments abound, Tribes Hill is certainly not shy about allowing the occasional drummer into the party or letting the funky guitarist plug in. The house concert may still draw the cops. While the divergent styles promise something for everyone, there are strong connecting threads on We’re All Here: All acts promote the Pete Seeger-inspired template of strength through community, all are New York-based, and all are hell bent on getting you to sing along. And you will. To Abbie Gardner’s aching waltz “Crazy in Love,� Phil Dollard’s crustily wise “Whirligig of Time,� Marc Black’s jazzy “I Love My Coffee,� Red Molly’s testifyin’ “Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning,� young buck Anthony Da Costa’s funky “Love Is Not Enough,� David Goldman’s unapologetically rocking “Blue Collar Town,� KJ Denhert’s sleekly sexy “Beautiful,� and the synthy, echo-laden harmonies of Eddie Denise’s “The Equation.� There are, of course, many other song wielders, some who want to charm, some who wish to inspire, a couple who seem intent on annoying you, but you’ll be glad you let them in. When the grid goes down, these folks will rule. www.tribeshill.com —Robert Burke Warren

MILLION-DOLLAR MOMMY Judy Blundell Moves from Star Wars to Noir By Nina Shengold Photograph by Jennifer May

JUDY BLUNDELL AT OBLONG BOOKS & MUSIC IN RHINEBECK

64 BOOKS CHRONOGRAM 6/11

I

don’t know how many books I’ve written or how many pseudonyms I’ve used. I do know I have a basement full of cartons.” Judy Blundell isn’t boasting, just stating the facts. After a point it gets hard to keep track. The prolific author’s first titles were teen romances, celebrity bios, and TV tie-ins; the names on their covers were usually chosen by publishers. Under the long-running pseudonym “Jude Watson” (her married surname), the Katonah resident has written dozens of Star Wars spin-offs and two volumes of the New York Times bestselling series The 39 Clues. A hundred or so books into her career, at her editor’s urging, Judy Blundell finally published one under her own name. Her breakthrough teen noir What I Saw and How I Lied (Scholastic, 2008) won a National Book Award. Blundell’s not boasting about that, either. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine a more down-to-earth superstar. In layered black, with a yellow-and-gray-striped scarf and windblown red hair tumbling over her glasses, she suggests the grownup version of some Molly Ringwald geek princess. She’s come to Oblong Books & Music to speak to the Hudson Valley YA Society about her new novel Strings Attached (Scholastic, 2011), but before the event, she squeezes in a swift photo session (“There’s no way to look 10 years younger or 20 pounds thinner, so I’ve learned to just give it up”) and a warm, rambling chat. Blundell grew up in a Queens neighborhood much like the one where What I Saw opens. Her father was a doctor, her mother a housewife; Judy was the youngest of three. When she was 14, she broke her leg and spent several months in an unwieldy cast. Friends drifted away. “I couldn’t hang out at the movies, I was too cumbersome to cut classes with,” she explains. “And I was too embarrassed to say I couldn’t handle a cafeteria tray and crutches, so I ate out of vending machines for months, which is not as much fun as it sounds.” When the cast came off, former friends started calling again, but she wasn’t interested. “I found out my friends weren’t really my friends.” “I spent all that long summer alone. I developed a secret life. After midnight, I turned on the TV and watched movies all night: screwball comedies, drawing room comedies, dramas. I became a movie nerd. I fell in love with Cary Grant, idolized Irene Dunne,” Blundell says. “That was the summer I became a writer, even though I never wrote a word.” It would be years before she started writing. An ardent reader, she devoured series like Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. “I loved being able to follow the same characters over many stories.” Later, seduced by Jane Austen and Trollope, she switched her college major to English. After graduation, she worked as a slush reader for Simon & Schuster and an editorial assistant at Silhouette. “I was very, very timid at that time,” Blundell recalls. “I was such a reader that I felt writers were very much smarter than I was, that there was some magic key I didn’t have.” Reading unsolicited manuscripts helped boost her confidence, but not by much. “I would think, well, I’m not as good as this one, but I’m better than that one. The height of my hubris was to aim for the middle. Isn’t that an awful idea? I would never let my daughter do that!” Eventually, she summoned the courage to write a teen romance, setting herself an achievable goal of one page a day. She submitted her manuscript pseudonymously to an editor she respected, and soon became a writer for hire. “Once I got started, I was very intent on turning in the tightest, best manuscript I could,” Blundell says. Her work ethic paid off—she turned out book after book, often under very tight deadlines. (The shortest turnaround she can recall was two weeks.) Many of her early books were published by Scholastic, where she worked with Babysitters Club editor David Levithan on a series set in a galaxy far, far away. The Star Wars Wookiepedia credits “Jude Watson” with 50 titles, including journals for Princess Leia Organa, Queen Amidala, and Darth Maul, along with three Jedi series. Meanwhile, Levithan worked his way up from associate editor to executive editorial director of Scholastic Fiction. Blundell kept saying, “David, you’re not giving up Star Wars!” Though “anyone else would have,” they had too much fun working together. So when Blundell approached him with something completely different, Levithan didn’t hesitate. What I Saw’s acknowledgments thank the “hunk of heaven” editor “who took me to lunch and listened to a coming-of-age story involving blackmail, adultery, and possible homicide and said, ‘Cool!’” In Strings Attached, she writes that without his guidance, “I would have been facedown in the clam chowder.”

Both books are period pieces. What I Saw takes place in 1947, and Strings Attached during the McCarthy era. “I’m interested in times on the cusp of a change,” says Blundell. “As a writer, you get to go back and capture things: the glamour of the `40s and `50s, the sense of possibility postwar.” Strings Attached began with the image of “a young girl in the chorus line of a very bad musical, with hardly anyone in the audience. She looks out and sees one face, and is scared.” Blundell was fascinated by “kids coming to New York on a bus with fifty dollars in their pockets—aspiring dancers, actors, writers. I thought about how exhilarating and scary it would be for a young girl to operate as an adult in that adult world. You’re really out there alone, with no tether.” Kit Corrigan is the most ambitious of performing triplets raised by a Providence widower. Moving to New York to seek her fortune on Broadway, she is taken under the wing of the shadowy, mob-lawyer father of her troubled boyfriend. “It’s a novel about family secrets, a girl who makes a deal with the devil,” says Blundell. (“Not literally,” she adds quickly; given the predominance of the paranormal in YA, this is hardly a given.) Kit’s deal starts with favors and gifts, smoothly escalating to a request to keep tabs on a nightclub patron who winds up dead. Suddenly, even the people she loves can’t be trusted. It’s not the first time Blundell’s covered this waterfront.What I Saw and How I Lied is also a noirish coming-of-age with a body count, set in a sweltering preair-conditioning Florida. “It’s about lying and how it corrodes relationships,” Blundell says. She found it easy to channel a teen point of view. “I’d sit and think, and it would come back very viscerally. I’m very in touch with humiliation, despair, and hubris.” She loves writing YA because the emotions are so intense. “I like drama.” She also likes doing research and immersing herself in an era. Though she uses the Internet, she prefers to read period newspapers and magazines ordered from Ebay, reveling in the musty smell and vintage ads. She keeps a notebook with research notes on one side and citations on the facing side, so she can revisit her sources as needed. Judy Blundell’s process differs from her alter ego’s. “Jude Watson’s outlines are much more meticulously planned,” she explains. “I’m very aware of cliffhanger chapter endings, the need to keep pages turning.” With What I Saw, she promised herself that she’d keep going forward no matter what—no going back to rewrite yesterday’s work. “I can’t say I never cheated, but that was the plan. I had a clear idea of where I was heading–there were plot points I had to hit—but I wanted to leave myself that freedom.” Which does she prefer? “I like going back and forth. I prefer whichever I’m not doing at the time.” She laughs, adding, “They both have their challenges.” She’s currently orchestrating the story arc for the new 39 Clues series Cahills vs.Vespers, which will incorporate more interactive web content. “I try not to do more than one project at once, but since I became a mom, I can work amid more chaos. ‘I must have silence!’ is over.” Blundell often totes her laptop to nine-year-old daughter Cleo’s basketball practice, “just squeezing it in, as every mom learns to do.” She starts writing as soon as she gets out of bed, pausing for breakfast with her family, then returning to work till the schoolbus arrives. “And now I take weekends off,” she avers. Well, sort of—it’s Sunday, and she’s at an author event. But her audience includes her husband, Katonah Museum director Neil Watson, and Cleo, sporting a rakish fedora. Blundell’s face lights up when she sees them. She says her daughter loves The 39 Clues, but is too young for Strings Attached’s morally compromised universe. “YA as a genre just has its elbows out, pushing in all directions. The boundaries are changing so fast.You can do things you couldn’t do five years ago.” Blundell has a new story on the back burner, but she’s not ready to discuss it yet. “When an idea comes at you and you know it’s a book, it’s like fireworks going off in your brain, like the world stops turning. I’m afraid of it, I can’t even look—stay away from me, I’m not ready yet! Then I start to sneak looks at it.” Is it set in the past? Judy Blundell isn’t saying. But for the noir-minded, she offers a clue. “I think it’s really fun to write for teens who don’t have cell phones. If you get into trouble, there’s no one to text.” 6/11 CHRONOGRAM BOOKS 65

Suma’s mesmerizing pageturner is twisty as eelgrass, and a body of water that lies above submerged homes may hold any number of secrets. The Dani Noir author spent her teen years in Woodstock, and her never-named Catskill town evokes both specific locations (Village Green, Wok’n’Roll) and the scrappy sadness of teenagers left to raise themselves while their parents self-medicate, or disappear. Though the storyline flirts with the paranormal, the quarry keggers, awkward sex, and shifting loyalties are vividly real. “Family connections are a lot like old gum—you don’t have to keep chewing it,� Chloe says of her father and stepmom. The only constant in her life is the magnetic Ruby, and that could be dangerous. Original, atmospheric, and as spectrally gorgeous as its cover image, Imaginary Girls will keep teen readers wondering what lies in the depths.

PICK-UP GAME: A FULL DAY OF FULL COURT EDITED BY MARC ARONSON AND CHARLES R. SMITH JR. CANDLEWICK, 2011, $15.99

A compilation of 10 stories by 10 very different authors that slides seamlessly together to form an exceptional novel, Pick-Up Game is an audacious concept that would never have worked if all concerned didn’t have world-class moves. As it is, the writers chronicle a day at a public basketball court in Manhattan—the players, the watchers, the ambiance—with a blend of grit and silk that will awe any teen who loves good books and/or basketball. Diverse voices and a round-robin style are a perfect fit for the subject, and the characters are equally diverse, without the least whiff of stereotype. Players are black, white, male, female, Asian, Indian; war veterans and showoffs and reluctant geeks. The perspectives shift like lightning—we are behind the eyes of a girl angling to hook the cutest baller, an aspiring videographer, a disabled kid whose way with words saves the day. Editor Smith, based in Poughkeepsie, has salted the book with his evocative b-ball poetry and photos. Contributors including Joseph Bruchac, Walter Dean Myers, Rita Williams-Garcia, and Adam Rapp execute a flawless passing game that will draw nonreaders into literature and nonplayers to the game.

Pizza toppers at a frozen pizza factory, dead body at a dinner theater, dress models at a college fashion design class—there’s very little Quigley and her best friend Anne won’t do to earn money for fancy gowns to wear to their senior prom. But Quigley’s life isn’t all taffeta and tulle. For one thing, she hasn’t been accepted to her first-choice art college. For another, the girls don’t actually have dates for the big event. Quigley likes hot, brooding fashion student Zander—but suddenly, David, her keenest art class competitor, is finding her fascinating. Choosing between them is hard—but what will she do when her choice inexplicably un-chooses her? Woodstock author Ferris’s novel offers accessible characters and a nonformulaic plot in a high school tale of romance and self-definition. Fluffy and fun, the ending won’t come as a surprise, but the background glitter of sequins and smears of smudged charcoal keep the journey entertaining.

Earth Day I love the branches, the clouds and leaves I love the grass, and the big warm breeze I don’t care what season it brings Summer, winter, fall, or spring I love the trees, and the sky above Although it’s good it can be tough Earthquakes, hurricanes, fires and storms The wild, tornados and plus some world wars But overall the world is good Plus family and friends in your neighborhood. —Noah Kalus (9 years)

LONG ISLAND SOUND Bluefish hit the hook so hard they rip off lips, sink hooks deep into gills into throat into stomach beat themselves bloody on the thwart the boys drink beer from their cooler one after another til the horn blows then reel them in and we’re ducking swinging hooks and fish as long as my thigh my arms ache as fish pile up around my feet gasping and slippery we drop them into bags and move our jackets as the mate hoses gore from the gunwales the sun is fine and the boys drink beer until the horn blows. —Nancy Ebel

BUTTER SIDE DOWN What is the rule, ten or twenty seconds? I don’t recall. Either way, the quick return is best. When you go, I kiss your footsteps. —Cliff Henderson

off-season boardwalk the silent rollercoaster makes me look up —Sari Grandstaff

if i had to do it all over again i’d really complain —p

DIG

BOLT

flowers breathing through silver teeth

Here comes the disconnect the disappearing act the exodus from high society.

white hair and willow skin and rippled cheeks digging up my first best friend where have you been all this time

Here comes the rollercoaster drop the stop after the start the slow fadeout after the credits.

—Tom Christie

You may hear a slight pop an upset in the apple cart a desire to pay penance.

SWEET DREAMS AND OTHER FANTASIES

There goes the wild times the salad days the wicked ways.

When I was a child, On those blind nights, When my mother would pour The liquid torch To the flame Of her sad moon dreams, I would fall asleep With Thomas Alva Edison. We would curl up, Tell each other stories, He—nitroglycerin in glass, Me—honey and vinegar dressings. We would stop on the trestle, Passengers on the same train. I would be the watch. He would lower The tiny vial Of liquid dynamite Into the raging falls below. Postponing disaster, I would drift to sleep.

A slight wind through the chimes a fickle phase another manic maze. That’s it for the dilettante the pompous fonts & posturing taunts. This is it for the slow reveal the words that heal the Catherine Wheel the peal of thunder mere moments before the bolt. —Tom Waters

LULLABY

My only weapons Intelligence and creativity Against the forces of fear Anger One and the same.

Moths drink the tears of sleeping birds; Mothers hear the sound of unspoken words; Fathers know the wishes in your heart; The magic of love is the only true art.

—Virginia Hayes

—K. A. Laity

80 DEGREES AND COLD BEER

SPRING

drinking beer and writing poetry are very similar you spend a lot of time pissing and wondering if it were worth it

gazing at the earth a farmer walks the field rain falls —Theresa Morris

Don’t adjust your tv set your Faustian pact your own shortcomings & fallacies.

DARWIN’S BLUES “We have lost the joy of our household and the solace of our old age.” —Charles Darwin Annie, my eldest daughter and best has died at the age of ten from defects inherited from and shared by her father. My thoughts have become a curse. On Sunday, while the rest attend Eucharist, I walk for an hour or more, three miles sometimes, and I commune with differentiation, alone. I see the future of us -each cell specializing for a greater advantage breaking into smaller and smaller colonies (I’ll avoid the term ‘bodies’ here) until at last there will persist no persons but billiard balls of decreasing frailty aloft on fetid winds, denying the gravity that by definition must someday bury them despite the wild beating of their tiny wings or hearts. Still, when there’s a baptism and the organ swells into “Fairest Lord Jesus,” I will sometimes linger on the street outside listening for strains of harmony yet unknown to me; wishing the beauty of music would be enough to foster in my heart a sincere belief in Levitation. —Billy Internicola

UNFOLD I want a secret you won’t discover as your lips inspect the surface of my skin Looking into your eyes to prove that you’re not the one, this entirely new prospect to me I’ve never had someone treat me so well that I belittle so regularly You fell asleep during the movie and I traced the outline of your history with my eyes Each line defining your presence as I memorized the curvature of your spine I could so easily forget you and move on but malice is forbidding me —Maria Jayne

CREATION OF A DAYDREAM add harp. add photos of flowers, the color of sunrise, the color of the intrepid sea. add ipod. batteries low. add strawberry jam, calla lilies that grow like weeds. add the sound of breaking glass. add midnight, plus the black breaking waves of the sea. add the constellation that lit the dark night we walked by. maps left behind on the tired roadside. add jewels lost by the desire of sunrise, come morning. come morning, warm from slumber, warm from sleepless nights, passed by the sea. add the nervous ticking clock. add moments left before the doors shut, and i could not speak your name. add, this is the end of all beginnings. the postcard is written. the letter sent.

AND ALSO, IN THE PROCESS, FORGETTING OURSELVES

add what we remember recorded by, dashes of light.

How it is is confusing how the young woman already suffers from what is not even remembered as dementia, how it could be how young she is, yet

what flowers we have pressed into the grains of being, will grow tall. and will blossom wildly.

she suffers from dementia. She slowly caresses the table as her fingers slide across its smooth surface reflecting a rusted fan’s rotating blades

we are carbon copies of a daydream. i dreamt that i could touch, like a waterlily floating through my hair. —avalove

in this air-conditioned room, her flexed fingers gliding over the table’s shiny exterior under which there’s nothing. Someone says her name and

[BLAHBLAHBLAH, SELFREFLEXIVEJARGON, BLAHBLAHBLAH]

there’s nothing, no familiar response, no understanding of her place in this world. Inside her mind, there’s a disarming quiet. There’s a hush of absent connections;

I’m bone and blood and little more, a parapet of grandeur lost a swiping, typing scruffy boor. I’m only this, and little more.

There’s nothing anyone can do. How it is is confusing how this young woman’s reflected in the mirror, seeing her own reflection in the mirror, and also seeing her husband who is no longer her husband holding onto her, whispering things she will soon forget. She’ll soon forget all of this. It’s hopeless for him to remember that life they would’ve had, which now they’ll never have. He strokes her hair, embraces her, whispers that he loves her, but she doesn’t recognize either one of them.

I’m rock and wreck, a boy next door, who left Valhalla red and glossed, that looming, fuming son of Thor. I’m hardly this, and barely more. I’m ragged claws down by the shore, that beach-bound brute the kids accost who’s gnashing, bashing all the more. At least I’m this, if nothing more. —Peter Viola

Who she was is nothing like what she’s become, and who they were is nothing like what they’ve become, and no wishes can be made from what is forgotten. —Jonathan Greenhause 6/11 CHRONOGRAM POETRY 69

Food Gadgets for the Home By Peter Barrett Photos by Jennifer May

T

he publication this spring of Modernist Cuisine, a gorgeous, six-volume, 2,400-page behemoth encapsulating the sum total of scientific knowledge on the subject of gastronomy, has emphatically underscored just how much cooking has changed in recent years. The thorough understanding of how foods behave under all sorts of conditions lets professionals engage in astonishing flights of fancy while at the same time allowing for substantial improvements to everyday home cooking. Many of the new techniques require expensive appliances, some of which cost a small fortune, and which would seem to be a barrier to anyone wanting to employ these methods at home. But there are plenty of inexpensive tricks for turning regular household items into multi-purpose gadgets that can make a profound difference on the variety and quality of foods we make for ourselves. Some hacks are simple common sense substitutions or dual uses for things we already have on hand. Fine cotton handkerchiefs provide an affordable and reusable alternative to cheesecloth for straining almost anything. Just about any liquid in the kitchen can be made better by passing it through a cloth at one or more points during cooking; put a hanky in your colander or basket strainer and enjoy clearer broths and sauces without having to dispose of filters. An oven with a pilot light offers an excellent place to proof bread dough and make yogurt, and with the door cracked open a bit (especially with a convection fan) it can also serve as an excellent dehydrator. Use a thermometer to determine the ambient temperature inside your oven, and regulate it (up to a point) by propping the door open a little to cool it or turning the light on for a bit more heat. If your oven lacks a pilot, buy a heating pad at the drugstore and put it in the bottom of a cooler (the insulation also retains heat, after all) and make your yogurt in there. An old window and its screen will also serve for a dehydrator on a sunny day (wash them both before using). On a table in a 82 FOOD & DRINK CHRONOGRAM 6/11

sunny spot, put the screen horizontally on some bricks or wood so air can circulate underneath it and spread out halved tomatoes, herbs, or fruit on it. Put the window on top, making sure there’s space between the glass and the food. Check it periodically, and stick the probe from your kitchen thermometer in there to make sure it stays in dehydrator territory (about 110˚F) so the food doesn’t cook instead of dry out. Pizza stones sell for $30-$50 and can break easily.There is no earthly reason not to grab a $4 quarry tile from the nearest home center and use it instead. If it breaks, you’re out 10 percent of the cost of a stone. If you add another few bucks for a large disposable aluminum roasting pan, you can invert it over a loaf of bread on your tile in the oven and create a moister baking environment that’s much closer to a commercial steam oven. Especially if you make slightly wetter dough than usual, the water evaporating from the baking bread will stay within the smaller confines of your oven within an oven and yield a far better crust than your oven can by itself. Remove the aluminum pan after 30 minutes or so to let the crust get nice and brown while it finishes baking. If you have a grill and want to try making bacon or a similar project, there’s no need to spring for a fancy smoker. Any kettle or other grill can be easily converted to a hot smoker: Once the charcoal is lit, push the pile over to one side and put a metal tray of soaked wood chips on it. If you have grape vines or pruned branches from (unsprayed) fruit trees, even better. Put the food over on the other side and put the lid on. Careful regulation of the fire’s intensity and occasional stirring and replenishment of the wood chips can make for seriously good ribs, chicken, or anything else that likes a good smoking. Try putting a metal colander of dried pasta in there for half an hour, or smoke some coffee beans and grind them to rub on the ribs you put in next (for a gas grill, just add the tray of chips over one burner and leave the other one off).

CAPTIONS TK

OPPOSITE: COLD SMOKING USING A SOLDERING IRON AND WOOD CHIPS; ABOVE, (L): RHUBARB COOKING SOUS VIDE WITH BLACK CURRANT VINEGAR AND MAPLE SYRUP; (R): DUCK LEGS COOKING SOUS VIDE WITH SPRUCE TIPS. THIS IS THE IMMERSION CIRCULATOR SHOWN IN MAKE MAGAZINE, AS BUILT BY DAVID SHAW (WWW.BLOG.BELM.COM).

Cold smoking is just as easy to accomplish, and allows for adding smoke flavor to more delicate foods like cheese, fish, or raw sausages meant to be cooked later on after aging. (It’s important to be aware of food safety issues related to cold smoking, especially meat; the Web has good resources). Take a new (residual solder is not good for you) straight soldering iron—not the kind with a trigger, use the kind that looks like a big awl—and stick it into a flower pot full of soaked wood chips down in one corner of your grill. Put food on the grill, and plug in the iron. Stir the pot of chips from time to time to keep it happy. As long as the temperature inside the grill stays below 90˚F, you’re cold smoking. Depending on your level of food geekitude, you may have heard of the antigriddle. It’s a slab of metal that’s chilled to -30˚F so that liquids, purées, and foams can be made solid for canapés that quite literally melt in the mouth. Rather than dropping $1,200 on the cumbersome appliance, just order up a hunk of dry ice and put an aluminum cookie sheet on top of it. Then enjoy the possibilities of serving soup as crackers or your homemade smoked salmon on crème fraîche without any crackers at all. (Remember to chill your serving dishes so the food stays firm long enough to be eaten.) “Any time you get somebody excited to go in the kitchen and learn how something is made, you’ve helped that person cook more and better food,” says Jeff Potter, the Cambridge, MA-based author of Cooking For Geeks. “If you try only one thing,” Potter encourages, “make it sous vide.” Sous vide cooking involves vacuum-sealing food in plastic bags and immersing it in precisely temperature-controlled water. The water brings food up to the desired temperature, but no higher. “Sous vide is like magic,” he continues. “You can’t overcook things, and it tastes great. Chemical reactions in food happen at different temperatures; careful cooking can make for amazing results.” Eggs can

be cooked (at about 147˚F) so that when cracked open, they slide out as unctuous orbs that just hold their shape. Short ribs, after sitting in 150˚F water for 72 hours, fall right off the bone but still look pink. Rhubarb can be cooked to a sensual softness while still holding its shape and color. Seasonings of all sorts can be added to the bag; there’s no limit to the possibilities. Potter says that having a vacuum sealer (about $120) is useful, but not mandatory; “just lower the (food-safe zip-top) bag down into the water and the air will get pushed right out” before sealing. Commercial sous vide units cost a couple thousand dollars, and there are now home units available for $300$500. For a fraction of that price, there are two easy methods for duplicating the same effects at home. The easier but more expensive version (about $150) involves modifying a slow cooker by splicing a thermocouple and temperature controller into the power cord. The probe reads the temperature inside the vessel, and the controller switches the power on and off as needed to maintain the desired level. If you can rewire a lamp, you can do this. The cheapest version ($75) requires a bit more know-how; it combines a thermocouple with immersion heaters (the kind you stick in a cup) and an aquarium pump to circulate the water to provide even heating throughout the vessel of your choice. This version allows for better cooking and varying the size of the container, but either one works a treat. It’s hard to overstate how much this technique can do to make home cooking a lot more refined and pleasurable to eat. Not everyone is adventurous in the kitchen, and we’re all pressed for time. Many of these techniques require no special skills and can save us time and money, in addition to allowing for superb homemade examples of foods that many people never make at home any more. It can also be a lot of fun. Potter concludes: “It’s a real joy to share with people how easy this is. They start eating better, and they start living better; it all dominoes together.” 6/11 CHRONOGRAM FOOD & DRINK 83

Restaurant Openings Bangall Whaling Company

97 Hunns Lake Road, Stanfordville. (845) 868-3349 www.bangallwhalingcompany.com

A needed addition to eastern Dutchess County. Red Devon is great, but sometimes you want something a touch more casual, maybe even a tad rustic. Bangall Whaling Company fits the bill for a burger and beer. Catch the game at the bar and tuck into some Angus beef chili with cheddar cheese and corn bread ($6) or New England clam chowder with sourdough crostini to start. Then, perhaps a sandwich (the Bangall Cheese Steak is piled with thinly sliced rib eye, wild mushrooms, caramelized onions and Cheddar cheese, $12) or a dinner-sized salad (the Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad comes with oranges, dried cranberries, cherry tomatoes, balsamic onions, Gorgonzola, and mixed greens dressed with honey-truffle vinaigrette, $10). An eclectic wine list features equal offerings of Old and New World selections and is wallet conscious, with 30 bottles under $30.

Karma Lounge

202 Main Street, Poughkeepsie. (845) 473-4294 www.karmalounge.us

A couple of expatriates from the fabulous and sadly now defunct Twist in Hyde Park have opened their own venture on Main Street near the Cunneen-Hackett Theater. Karma Lounge is a tight railroad space that opens up to a small dining room, spilling out into a back courtyard urban idyll. Karma is big on cocktails. Try the Thai Chili Blood Orange Margarita, made with house-infused Thai chili Tequila, Triple Sec, and blood orange margarita mix ($9), or the Gin Blossom, featuring gin, St. Germaine elderflower liqueur, and grapefruit juice ($9). Eight craft beers are always in rotation on tap. Food-wise, small plates are the order of the day. An interesting take on Caesar salad features tortilla strips and lemon-cumin dressing ($6). Port Wine and Cherry Chicken Liver Pâté, served with roasted garlic, a Dijon baguette, and frizzled scallions ($8), is a savory bar snack. Our favorite is the upscale weiner, the Karma Dog, a decadent allotment of bacon-wrapped house-made knockwurst, tomato-onion relish, and fontina cheese on a pretzel bun.

DRY RUBBED, WOOD SMOKED BBQ RIBS, BRISKET, PULLED PORK,GIANT TURKEY DRUMSTICKS FROM THE GRILL STEAKS, FISH, CHICKEN, VEGETABLES AMERICAN COMFORT FOOD POT PIE, MEATLOAF, MAC & CHEESE THIRSTY? Try one of our 12 local micro brews from our frost covered beer taps, or sip the area’s finest selection of rare tequilas, kentucky bourbons and single malt scotches.

Panzur

69 Broadway, Tivoli. (845) 757-1071 www.panzur.com

Rei Peraza, former executive chef at the Rhinecliff Hotel, has hung out his own shingle in Tivoli with Panzur, a progressive Spanish restaurant heavy on modernist tapas. Peraza describes the restaurant’s culinary philosophy as “Old World flavor with New World technique.” Try the migas ($10), a traditional Spanish breakfast dish given new life via molecular gastronomy: think bread salad with poached egg, manchego, mushrooms, and asparagus, dusted with dried ham powder like light snow. There’s also traditional selections of cheese (3 for $13) and charcuterie ($7-$16), as well as tortilla, patatas bravas, and three kinds of croquetas. Larger plates are served as well, like Rioja-glazed pork shoulder with spiced carrot walnut puree and ramp-carrot escabeche ($22) and pressed chicken confit with ramp coulis and pickled mushroom salad ($21). The wine list, as you might have guessed, is heavy on the Spanish, with an emphasis on small producers. There’s eight rotating beers on tap, and a selection of boutique-liquor cocktails.

Rock and Rye Tavern

215 Huguenot Street, New Paltz. (845) 255-7888 www.rockandrye.com

Located in the former Locust Tree space on the New Paltz golf course, Rock and Rye Tavern is the latest (welcome!) evidence of a neo-speakeasy trend. If you like Kingston’s Stockade Tavern, you’ll enjoy the mix of classic cocktails (Ramos Gin Fizz: Plymouth Gin, fresh lemon and lime juice, cream, egg white, club soda, and orange flower water, $10) and house inventions (House Roast: coffee-infused Espolan Tequila, Fernet Liqueur, fresh lime juice, and grated chocolate, $10) at Rock and Rye. Oh yeah, there’s food too: Contemporary American that’s unfussy, but sometimes fancy (Crispy pork belly over toasted brioche and spicy tomato jam with a slow poached egg, $11) and influenced by what’s fresh and local (Hudson Valley Cattle Co. burger, with caramelized onions, roasted poblano peppers, and sharp cheddar cheese, $14). A final vote of confidence: No TVs, no live music, just simple eats and serious cocktails.

THE MESSAGE OF DIABETES A rising tide of type 2 diabetes is sweeping the globe—carrying a message of change not just for its victims but for everyone who lives in our modern world.

      

ill Pfleging arrived somewhat suddenly—and altogether accidentally— upon his diagnosis for type 2 diabetes. In a haze of pain, the 56-year-old Woodstock resident was admitted to Kingston Hospital in the spring of 2008. After running some tests, an emergency room doctor identified the source of the agony: a kidney stone. Pfleging was told it would pass in about 48 hours. “And by the way,” the doctor added on his way out the door. “You’re also diabetic.” His tone was lackadaisical—but his words hit Pfleging with machete-like force. Both Pfleging’s mother and grandmother had died from complications of type 2 diabetes. For Pfleging, “It felt like a death sentence.” He left in shock—but ready to make some radical changes that would turn his life around and set him squarely on the path to health. Many type 2 diabetes diagnoses come in just this way—inadvertently exposed by blood work from a separate medical event. Diabetes can enter a life silently, lurking for years before an onset of symptoms such as excessive thirst, increased hunger, and frequent urination. By the time symptoms appear, it’s likely that high blood-glucose levels have wreaked some havoc on the body’s delicate latticework of cells and tissues. But whenever the diagnosis arrives, it’s always a wake-up call. The message is firm and clear:You must change your diet and your lifestyle. If you don’t you’ll face an uncertain future, and increased odds for complications ranging from kidney failure and heart disease to amputations and blindness. A dazzlingly large number of people are receiving this message nowadays. An estimated 27 million Americans have diabetes, and another 65 to 70 million are prediabetic. One out of three people born today will develop diabetes. And according to a University of Chicago study, the incidence of type 2 diabetes in the U.S. will double in the next 25 years. Around the globe the statistics are not much better, but it is the American way of life—an exported culture of Big Gulp sodas, supersized meals, and sedentary habits—that’s largely to blame. Yet there’s good news, too. The complications of diabetes are largely preventable, and the conscientious patient can live a healthy life for many years through careful adjustments to diet and lifestyle. If type 2 diabetes is caught early enough, as it was with Pfleging, its status can even be reversed, with blood sugar levels returning to normal after a few months of dedicated, bootcamp-like change. Goodbye, White Bread When Pfleging arrived at Kingston Hospital, his blood sugar was hovering at 250—well above the normal range of under 120. A hemoglobin A1C test, which reveals blood-sugar levels from the previous three months, confirmed a diabetes diagnosis, and Pfleging’s family doctor wanted to start him right away on oral medications to control the problem. But Pfleging resisted. “I knew that if I went on meds, I wouldn’t change my eating habits,” he said. Since Pfleging wasn’t having any symptoms yet, his doctor agreed to a little experiment: He would let his patient give diet-modification a try.

Pfleging is a big guy—the kind of guy who can handle a carton of Ben & Jerry’s or a family-size bag of chips in one sitting. And in his previous life, he did. But after the diagnosis he changed his habits completely. One of the first things to go was steak and potatoes; instead, he added more vegan and vegetarian foods to his repertoire—good, clean organic food that was not highly glycemic. He also banished the Four Whites: white flour, white sugar, white rice, and white potatoes. He and his wife dusted off their old rice cooker and started using it to cook up a week’s worth of brown rice to keep in the fridge as a handy accompaniment to nonstarchy vegetables and lean proteins. Pfleging ate multigrain breads—and green salads with almost every meal. He became a label reader, and was shocked to find sugar in everything, although it was often veiled under ambiguous markers like cane crystals and corn syrup. Agave became his low-glycemic sweetener of choice. After four months of Pfleging’s revolutionized diet, new blood work showed absolutely no sign of his diabetic former self. His doctor was pleased—and the patient beamed with pride and relief. “I didn’t stop eating; I just changed the content of what I was eating,” says Pfleging. And he kept going, ultimately losing between 35 and 40 pounds in one year. To this day Pfleging has to wear his wedding ring on his thumb because it slips right off his slimmer ring finger. “I kind of like it there now,” he says. Like a trophy on the mantelpiece, it reminds him of victory. A Shape-Shifting Disease This is not your mother’s diabetes: The disease today looks nothing like it did just two decades ago. One of the most shocking recent changes is the rise in type 2 diabetes among children; it is now one of the most common new diagnoses in pediatric practices. The change is so complete that you’ll no longer hear a doctor refer to type 2 as “adult-onset diabetes” and type 1 as “juvenile diabetes,” as they were formerly known. While type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, in which the body stops producing the insulin that regulates blood sugar, type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease, in which the body develops a resistance to insulin in response to the way we live. Suddenly, the repercussions of our Western lifestyle are surfacing even in kids 10 to 15 years old— kids who are overweight and less active than ever before. What can be done? “Good dietary habits need to be instilled at a very young age,” says Rehan Ahmad, DO, of Orange County Diabetes & Endocrinology in Newburgh. “And daily exercise must be incorporated as a total necessity.” The birth of industrialization, and now computer culture, have made our lives easier yet rendered us sedentary. Our genes, unfortunately, haven’t caught up to the change. Type 2 diabetes is in fact an epigenetic disease; that is, the genes causing it can either lie dormant or get turned on like a light switch by our self-created environment. Some are more prone than others; risk factors can include family history and ethnicity. Yet one factor increases the chances of developing diabetes exponentially: obesity.

reduced via gastric banding—has surfaced as a highly effective treatment for obesity-related diabetes in recent years. “Weight loss, surgical or nonsurgical, helps reverse insulin resistance and can therefore reverse type 2 diabetes,� says Dr. Ahmad.Yet he cautions that it’s not a cure. “If individuals regain weight after bariatric surgery, they redevelop insulin resistance and hence type 2 diabetes.� No Silver Bullets For various reasons, many people will not be able to reverse their diabetes through diet or surgery; instead, they’ll need to manage it with a deft juggling act of diet, oral medications, and possibly an insulin pump or injections. Every body is different, and every case is different.That’s why Gretchen Scalpi, author of The Everything Guide to Managing and Reversing Pre-Diabetes and The Everything Diabetes Cookbook, cautions against a one-size-fits-all approach. Scalpi—a registered dietician and certified diabetes educator who sees clients in Fishkill and New Windsor—looks at the whole person, taking into account their lifestyle, work situation, habits, and other health issues. “I’ll suggest something different for a retired person living at home than for someone who’s commuting to the city and has little time to prepare his own meals,� she says. Scalpi also assesses each client’s learning style. Counting carbohydrates to manage blood sugar might work for a tech-savvy person. But for visual learners, she uses what she calls the “plate method.� She’ll draw a plate and divide it into three parts. Half the plate is for vegetables (nonstarchy), a quarter is for protein, and the final quarter is for carbohydrates (whole grains). “This is an easy way to maintain carbohydrate control throughout the day,� says Scalpi. And her clients find it a relief. “They say, ‘Gee, this isn’t that bad. I can still eat regular foods; I just need to balance this.’� Whether we’re diabetic or not, “We need to pay better attention to portion size,� says Scalpi, who keeps food models in her office to show what a real portion looks like. A serving of meat or tofu, for example, is no bigger than a deck of cards. “People are shocked,� she says. “They have no idea what a portion looks like.�

It Takes a Village Teamwork is key to managing diabetes, involving everyone from doctors and nutritionists to educators and supportive family members. In this spirit, a new wave of hospital-based diabetes programs is one of the health-care system’s wisest responses to the diabetes epidemic in America.The Center for Diabetes Management—at Saint Francis Hospital and Health Centers in Poughkeepsie—is Dutchess County’s first and only center to receive recognition from the American Diabetes Association. Its program director, Mary Anne Kesting, has been working with diabetes patients for more than two decades. Her team offers group and individual classes on topics like carbohydrate counting, and support groups for insulin pump users and others. The ultimate goal is to keep patients’ blood-sugar levels as close to normal as possible to avoid problems with the kidneys, eyes, and heart. “Patients do better when they’re a partner in setting goals,� says Kesting. “This isn’t a one-time fix; it takes time to change a behavior. But as they follow through and start to feel better, they realize that it really does make a difference. Then they want to keep going.� Kesting believes that most of us have a lot to learn when it comes to adjusting our diets and ignoring the messaging that we get from our culture of mega-consumption. “At the mall or the movies you see these kids going around with 32-ounce jumbo sizes of sweetened juice or soda. There are a lot of empty calories and empty sugars in there that they really don’t need. We’ve gotten ourselves into some pretty bad habits. We have to do something as a group to fix this.� For starters, it’s easy to get screened for diabetes with a simple blood test. Not everyone has a “lucky kidney stone,� as Pfleging calls his, to signal that things have gone awry. In the meantime, Kesting echoes other experts when she points to the diabetes diet as a model: vegetables, whole grains, fresh fruits, lean proteins. “This is the way we all should eat.�

FLOWERS FALL By Bethany Saltman

Yet, though it is like this, simply, flowers fall amid our longing, and weeds spring up amid our antipathy. — Dogen Zenji, Genjokoan

Are You Happy? Considering the Lobster Within

A

few weeks ago, Azalea, T, T’s parents, and I returned from a spring break vacation to Saint Thomas. Since we were traveling with two of Azalea’s most doting and eager caretakers—her grandparents—I was actually able to do some reading, including Consider the Lobster, a book of essays by David Foster Wallace, the much admired, and very depressed writer who killed himself in 2008. It was around Day Three of vacation when I found myself alone, on the beach in a lounge chair, with Wallace’s book. From my chair, I watched random kids make sand castles, and heard some vague, depersonalized whining calling out over the smooth sound of waves breaking along the white sand. I read a little about the Maine Lobster Festival that Wallace attended and wrote about, his clever, but not too clever, observations of the visitors, the vendors, the whole vacation enterprise. I had a few thoughts of my own about my particular circumstance. I kept reading. T and I had been getting up early every morning to have some time alone and to do zazen at the beach before everyone woke up. So I was tired, but not at all fatigued or irritated by the wish that I were not tired. I read about whether or not lobsters feel pain. And then Wallace’s questions like, What is pain? Consider the Lobster. Just sleepy. Staring into the water and the pale yellow light, shadowless, over the ocean. I love the feeling of getting soaked in sun, so I allowed myself a little that, read some more, then started seriously sweating, so I moved my chair beneath a palm tree to get a little shade. A hot breeze. Staring into the sea. Drifting… Consider the lobster. And then. It wasn’t a dream, but a waking dream-like weirdness. Of no longer just considering the lobster, but being the lobster! Not in some literal way, like Kafka’s giant human beetle, but deeply, a flash of ancestral innocence, the part of me that is un-evolved, reptilian, simple, and fierce. Technically, lobsters are not reptiles, they are arthopods—insects— exoskeletal, antennaed, but as Wallace writes, “Like most arthropods, they date from the Jurassic period [otherwise known as the Age of The Ruling Reptiles], biologically so much older than mammalia that they might as well be from another planet.” Once I shook off the strangely soothing and kind of hilarious feeling of actually experiencing my most primitive self, I knew what was going on. It was something about happiness. There are endless ways to understand our human lives, and since the development of sophisticated brain scans, neurological explanations have become popular, and I see the appeal. Instead of one brain, we actually have three, what scientists call a triune brain, and these three aspects correlate to our evolution into the large-skulled, thin-hipped, bipedal creatures we are today. The most evolved, human part of the brain is the cortex, the wrinkly exterior that we see on the outside, and this is the place where we can (and I am going to way oversimplify here) reason, plan, argue, etc. Just beneath that exterior layer is our mammalian brain—the limbic system—our emotional center, and this is where we can feel, remember and crave. And beneath that layer is our reptilian brain, where it all began, which is where we fight, flee, digest, and regulate 100 WHOLE LIVING CHRONOGRAM 6/11

basic things like breathing. These parts of our brain express themselves all the time, of course, in everything we do. And as a Zen practitioner, my practice is to bring awareness (and where that resides in the three part-brain I don’t know!) to the ways I am moving through the different states of being. When I am cold, on guard, and singular, that’s me, the reptile. When I rise above it all, make sense of suffering, that’s me, the human.When I am happy in my motherhood, I am resting in my mammalian nature, taking care of my warm, hairy, needy, adorable little offspring. The crazy thing is to realize that this mammalian connection is a life or death situation. If babies are not touched, they actually die. If not attuned to by their caregivers, at least to a good-enough degree, they really suffer. And they grow into adults who can’t attune to their babies. We know where this leads (lizards raising lizards). And yet, who can really know what happens inside a person? Or why a David Foster Wallace would hang himself in the house he knew his wife would soon enter. It is tempting to assume that his deeply curious, passionate, even, exploration of what happens when a lobster is thrown into a pot of hot water, is a body scan of his own day to day. He writes: “However stuporous the lobster is from the trip home, for instance, it tends to come alarmingly to life when placed in boiling water. If you’re tilting it from a container into the steaming kettle, the lobster will sometimes try to cling to the container’s sides or even to hook its claws over the kettle’s rim like a person trying to keep from going over the edge of a roof. And worse is when the lobster’s fully immersed. Even if you cover the kettle and turn away, you can usually hear the cover rattling and clanking as the lobster tries to push it off. Or the creature’s claws scraping the sides of the kettle as it thrashes around.” And while he is willing to allow us the discomfort of descriptions like this, he rather concludingly states, “Since pain is a totally subjective mental experience, we do not have direct access to anyone or anything’s pain but our own.” I know what he means, but I think he’s missing something. Something big, not just about misery, but about joy, and ennui, and absolutely everything, for that matter. We may not have direct access, but we sure are affected. Azalea asks me all the time if I am happy, especially, of course, when she knows I am not, like after knocking over her juice for the third time in one breakfast. Her gaze into my face sharpens, and she kind of sings: Mama, are you happy? Sad, angry, upset? Frustrated? Disappointed? No amount of clarification soothes her (no honey, I’m just frustrated) because she knows I am pissed, especially when I have reverted to my reptilian state of being so irritated (i.e. threatened) that my capacity to feel anything is compromised. And that quick coldness is deeply threatening to our connection and thus, fundamentally, her survival. As a human adult, my happiness is my business. And I guess I can resort to despair as I darn well please. But as a mammalian mother, my happiness is the juice of evolution. And seeing that connection clearly helps me come to life before being thrown into the pot.

Active Release Techniques (ARTÂŽ) is a patented soft tissue treatment system that heals injured muscles, tendons, fascia (covers muscle), ligaments, and nerves. It is used to treat acute or chronic injuries, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries and nerve entrapments like carpal tunnel syndrome, and sciatica. ARTÂŽ is also used before and after surgery to reduce scar tissue formation and build up. ARTÂŽ works to break up and remove scar tissue deep within and around injured muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. The injured muscle, joint, ligament, and nerves are moved through a range of motion while a contact is held over the injured structure. This breaks up the scar tissue and heals the tissue faster than traditional treatments. ARTÂŽ doctors are trained in over 500 hands-on protocols and must undergo rigorous written and practical examination to become certified. In order to maintain their certification in ARTÂŽ doctors attend yearly continuing education and recertification by ARTÂŽ.

The physical body is a gateway to our emotional and spiritual being. Rosen Method uses touch and words to contact the physical tension that limits our full experience of life. As the body relaxes or releases this muscular tension awareness of the purpose of this tension can become conscious, so that transformation becomes possible. Rosen Method provides the safety to hear from within what is true for us and trust that truth. Rosen Method bodywork is often used by people who are seeking relief from chronic pain and tension. It is also supportive and transforming for people feeling "stuck", struggling with emotional issues, and healing for survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. “This work is about transformation-from the person we think we are to the person we really are� -Marion Rosen.

Acup, RD 107 Fish Creek Road, Saugerties, NY (845) 246-2729 and (212) 912-1212 www.holisticortho.com I believe in expansion and gentle forces. Too much pressure squeezes out essential blood supply and there is no support for tooth movement. I do not recommend extraction of permanent teeth. When teeth are extracted, the bone that holds the teeth is lost and the skin of the face sags. With aging, this is exaggerated. As a holistic practitioner, I consider the bones, teeth, and face, components of the whole. Dental treatment has an impact on whole health. The amount of plaque and calculus on the teeth is correlated with that in blood vessels. Movement in orthodontics affects the balance of the cranium, the head, and the neck. To support holistic treatment, I am certified in acupuncture and a registered dietician, trained in homeopathy and cranial osteopathy. At every visit, I do cranial treatments for balance. I offer functional appliances, fixed braces, invisible braces, and invisalign. I treat snoring and sleep apnea as well as joint and facial pain. We welcome children, teenagers, and adults.

EVENT LISTINGS FOR JUNE 2011

Workers footsteps in caked mud outside a destroyed factory in Sendai, Japan. Photograph by Jake Price/Courtesy FOVEA

Aftermath If you prefer art as rife with moral dilemma as beauty, consider “Japan Now” at Fovea Exhibitions in Beacon (through July 17). The photography show’s bland title is ironic, for in the wake of an earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear mishap, today’s Japan is a locus of multiple hells. Displaying the work of 21 photojournalists who recorded the devastation, “Japan Now” illuminates that place where reality and art do not merely intersect, but collide mercilessly. Gallery visitors may question their own role: art lover or rubbernecker? (For those stymied by the contradictions, there is redemption: Fovea will accept donations for the Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund.) Jake Price, a New York-based news photographer, has contributed a BBC slideshow to the exhibition. A veteran of assignments in Japan, Price, 38, felt a need to go back. As he photographed, he lived among survivors in a displaced persons camp in Natori, a city erased by the tsunami. —Jay Blotcher You travel the world, photographing tragic situations—both manmade and caused by the hand of nature—in locales like Kenya, Kashmir, and Haiti. What arrests the eye is the eerie beauty your lens captures. It’s [about] lending a sense of dignity to people who are going thorough such suffering. I don’t like the mainstream press going in and looking for tragedy within tragedy; it’s too easy. If you look for beauty within destruction, then you have the sense that something is really lost—and something that needs to be gained. And something to search for. How soon after the earthquake and tsunami did you travel there? About 48 hours.

You were dealing with a people known for being very private. It’s definitely a reserved society, but it’s not a society that shies away from having its tragedy seen. One such situation was a mass funeral, or at least a mass display of bodies in caskets. There was a point where the ceremony broke up and people went to look at their deceased relatives. There’s a little pane that opens up in the casket where people can peer in. As a photographer, I felt that this moment was really important. So, as subtly and quietly as possible, I ventured into the room to take pictures of people looking at their lost relatives. There was one moment where I snapped a shot of a young man looking into the casket. He looked up at me when he heard the camera and I thought, shit, I’ve been found out and I really hope I didn’t offend this person. He walked over to me and I thought he was going to tell me to go away, and yet he thanked me for being there and telling his story. Regarding the photograph of the footsteps in mud, tell me what we are looking at. That was in the city of Sendai, a port town. It’s about as close as you can get to the epicenter of the tsunami. It was just representative of what happens in a situation like this—where there’s chaos in those footsteps but also a sense of wanting to order life, as well. As I worked throughout my trip, I took a lot of pictures of footsteps, because to me they represent everything that people are searching for. “Japan Now,” featuring photos by Christoph Bangert, Peter Blakely, Paula Bronstein, David Butow, Adam Dean, James Whitlow Delano, David Guttenfelder, Dominic Nahr, and Donald Weber, among others, will be shown through July 17 at Fovea Exhibitions in Beacon. www.foveaexhibitions.org.

MUSIC THE DON BYRON NEW GOSPEL QUINTET CORI WELLS BRAUN

The Don Byron New Gospel Quintet plays Club Helsinki and The Falcon this month.

Religious Reeding It’s long been a mystery as to how and why the clarinet came to lose its standing. A wind instrument once as synonymous with jazz as the saxophone or trumpet, it was the axe of choice for a string of superstar bandleaders and iconoclastic stylists that began with Sidney Bechet, led to Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, and, to many, stopped with Eric Dolphy. Perhaps it’s all those hokey, Bourbon Street-souvenir Pete Fountain LPs currently clogging thrift store bins that have unfairly branded the “licorice stick” as the nostalgic device of the straw-boaters-and-red-blazers set. For shame: The clarinet is one of music’s most versatile and magnificent instruments, capable of sounds ranging from low-and-slow molasses tones to shrill, paint-peeling screams. And since he emerged from the Boston and New York scenes in the 1980s, Don Byron, who leads his New Gospel Quintet at Club Helsinki and the Falcon early next month, has arguably done more than any other modern player to remind us just how dang cool the clarinet really is. In addition to being revered as a superb instrumentalist and composer, Byron, who grew up in the South Bronx and has been a Woodstock-area resident for several years, is also recognized as one of today’s greatest stylistic interpreters. While studying under pivotal arranger George Russell at the New England Conservatory of Music, he joined Hanus Netsky’s Klezmer Conservatory Band before moving back to New York to work with David Murray, Hamiet Bluiett, Craig Harris, and others on the avant-jazz scene. After debuting with 1992’s exploratory classic, Tuskegee Experiments (Elektra/ Nonesuch Records), Byron revisited his klezmer roots with the likewise-praised Plays the Music of Mickey Katz (Elektra), and next embarked on a series of albums that have seen him investigate Latin music (1995’s Music of Six Musicians; Elektra), improvisation

(1996’s No Vibe Zone; Knitting Factory Records), swing (1996’s Bug Music; Nonesuch), hip-hop (1998’s Nu Blaxploitation; Blue Note Records), arias and lieder (2000’s A Fine Line; Blue Note), modern classical (2006’s A Ballad for Many; Cantaloupe Records), and the work of R&B legend Junior Walker (2006’s Do the Boomerang; Blue Note). The reedsman’s latest project is the still unrecorded New Gospel Quintet, which finds him navigating the rich canon of American gospel music, with a core focus on the songs of composer Thomas A. Dorsey. In addition to the leader—here on tenor sax, as well as clarinet—the fivesome includes vocalist DK Dyson, bassist Brad Jones, drummer Pheeroan akLaff, and pianist Xavier Davis. “In the past few years I have listened more intensively to black religious music than ever before,” explains Byron. “Examining the specific blues styles peculiar to country, R&B, and rock led me to thorough studies of the blues-based religious music of white and black Southern gospel. I am combining my own compositions with traditional gospel pieces in a way I have not attempted before. This project coincides with a growth in my own faith and is for me a religious expression.” Indeed, it’s his endeavor to attempt the previously unattempted—combined with a profound sense of expression—that continues to define Byron’s art. And consistently produce such glorious results. The Don Byron New Gospel Quintet will perform at Club Helsinki in Hudson on July 2 at 9pm ($18, $22) and The Falcon in Marlboro on July 3 at 7pm (donation requested).

ART ROBERT S. DUNCANSON IMAGE PROVIDED Robert S. Duncanson, untitled, oil on canvas, 18.5" x 31.5", 1861. Courtesy Michael Rosenfeld Gallery.

The Hudson River School via Cincinnati “History can be blind,” observes Joseph D. Ketner II, curator of “Robert S. Duncanson: ‘the spiritual striving of the freedmen’s sons,’” an exhibition at the Thomas Cole National Historical Site in Catskill. Duncanson (1821-1872) was an African-American landscape painter, once highly regarded, now almost entirely forgotten. Born a freedman in Seneca County, New York, Robert Duncanson moved as a youth to Michigan. At the age of 16 he apprenticed to a house painter, then briefly began his own painting and glazing business. In 1840, Duncanson resolved to become an artist, relocating to Cincinnati, the largest city in “the West.” The youth taught himself to paint by copying Thomas Cole paintings and sketching from life. He became an itinerant portraitist, then moved on to nature scenes. By the 1850s in Cincinnati, the two most popular art forms, landscape painting and daguerreotype photography, were dominated by African-American artists. James P. Ball was the preeminent daguerreotypist, Duncanson the top painter. Both men were light-skinned “mulattos,” of mixed race, benefiting from the racial caste system of the time. Cincinnati was a northern city, in a “free state” (one without slavery) whose economy and social outlook were Southern. “Cincinnati was one of the most vociferous abolitionist cities, behind Boston, and it was also one of the most adamant pro-slavery cities, simultaneously—a very, very complex dynamic,” explains Ketner. In 1855, Duncanson and Ball painted a 600-yard antislavery panorama entitled “Mammoth Pictorial Tour of the United States Comprising Views of the African Slave Trade.” This work consisted of a canvas wrapped around two large dowels, which would be unspooled in an auditorium to the accompaniment of an orchestra, with lighting effects and a narrator describing the changing scenes. The “Mammoth Pictorial Tour” traveled the country, advertised as “Painted by Negroes.” Sadly, it is no longer extant. Most of the portraits Duncan executed were of antislavery activists. He painted “Uncle

Tom and Little Eva” based on Uncle Tom’s Cabin, commissioned by an abolitionist minister, and donated at least one canvas to an antislavery bazaar. As the United States lurched toward a cataclysmic war, Duncanson’s paintings entered the national debate. But Duncanson was also fascinated by the exotic. He painted four versions of “The Veils of Kashmir,” inspired by the book Lalla Rookh: An Oriental Romance by the poet Thomas Moore. Two of these works are in the show. Ketner gave one newly discovered painting the slightly vague title “Allegorical Figure,” because he’s not positive which allegorical figure is depicted. He suspects it’s a peri, an angel-like being from Persian mythology. (Many of Duncanson’s paintings have no titles, having been lost for decades.) These Orientalist pictures are reminiscent of Shiva posters contemporary New Agers hang in their meditation rooms. It is tempting to interpret Duncanson’s landscapes politically. Those dreamy temples on the shores of rivers—are they images of a utopian world without slavery and racism? Or does that oversimplify them? Duncanson himself once told his son, on the issue of race, “I have no color on the brain; all I have on the brain is paint.” This is apparently Duncanson’s first solo exhibit west of the Mississippi, ever. “When the Cole House called me, knowing Duncanson’s work is very clearly completely indebted to Thomas Cole, I thought, ‘What better way for me to service Robert Duncanson’s legacy!’” remarks Ketner. A handsome catalog accompanies this show (which takes its title from W. E. B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk). “Robert S. Duncanson: ‘the spiritual striving of the freedmen’s sons’” will be at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill until October 30.

HISTORY BANNERMAN CASTLE TOURS IMAGE PROVIDED Bannerman's Castle on Pollepel Island.

Bed Frames and Bayonets Bannerman Castle, on the 6.5-acre Pollepel Island in the Hudson just south of Beacon, was constructed from the hand-drawn sketches of amateur architect Francis Bannerman VI in the early 1900s. Once inhabited by native tribes before being used as a (failed) defense against British ships during the Revolutionary War, the island eventually turned into a popular haven for recreation and repose. When Bannerman took ownership of Pollepel in 1900, he would invite kids to the island for a day of adventure, rife with swimming, fishing, and exploring. Today, island gardens with antique roses, black walnut trees, blackberries, and herbs parallel the flora that would have been planted in 1914. A wooden wagon wheel rests downhill from the antiquated grotto. Bed frames and bayonets are hidden in the ruined framework of the main residence. Rocky trails twist to give visitors changing views of the Hudson River. The entire island smells like honey. Since the collapse in December 2009 of much of much the castle’s front and east walls, it’s a race against time to stabilize what’s left of the structure. Author and Bannerman Castle devotee Thom Johnson optimistically says, “If anything can be built, it can be rebuilt.” In order to preserve the main residence, construction crews have to keep one of the two remaining sides standing—if one goes, the other will follow. The elements pose a major problem: If the stabilization isn’t finished on time, the building won’t likely endure another winter; in the meantime, water has to be kept out of the structure. Despite comments that the project’s supporters cannot possibly prevail in this labor of love, Neil Caplan of the Bannerman Castle Trust says, “Well, we’re doing it. It’s

happening.” Johnson feels that “the study of art history, on any level, helps us learn and grow.” Three West Point cadets contributed to the project by installing a permanent watering system for the gardens. Phase one of the Bannerman Island Residence Emergency Stabilization Project is expected to be complete by July. The Environmental Protection Fund Challenge Grant is helping to give the main residence a new roof, first and second floors, and a temporary staircase. Future plans include an archeological dig, the installation of a permanent floor, restoration of the exterior, and renovation of the interior. There aren’t enough detailed photos of the original castle, and while the buildings will never replicate the original, the interior will be an interpretive take on the early design. Eventually, the residence will be turned into a museum. Hard-hat tours of Bannerman Island run through October. Tours are $30 for adults and $25 for children 11 years old and younger, and a percentage of the tour fees will go to the project’s trust. The Pollepel tour boat departs every Saturday and Sunday at noon from Torches Landing on the Newburgh Waterfront and at 1:30 p.m. from the Beacon ferry dock. Check back in July for added tours on Fridays. Boat tours: (800) 979-3370; www.prideofthehudson.com. Adventurers can travel by kayak from Beacon, Cold Spring, and Cornwall. Some kayak excursions include equipment, instruction, a guide, and a packed lunch.

Planet Waves

Forever Young

I

f I could write one thing to Bob Dylan, it would be a thank you note. Bob turned 70 on May 24, so this seems like a perfect moment. Of course, it’s hard to imagine him being 70 years old, but I’m sure he’s saying the same thing. If I could thank Dylan for one thing, it would be for setting an example that it’s okay to be relevant. A rock critic once wrote that he saved the world from “terminal, irrelevant schlock,” taking up real subject matter in every song. He did so (most of the time, anyway) without conveying the feeling of what some call “statement songs.” Many of his older songs definitely were, though the poetic strength of his writing made that either less obvious or more exciting. In writing, it’s always better to show rather than to tell, and Bob has showed us American life. For a long time, I’ve wanted to teach a university class called Rock Music as Journalism, and I think of Dylan as being the innovator of this genre. And this has some resemblance to how he perceived himself, and how he actually created those songs. “He said he was never a spokesman for a generation,” said Rob Faboni, who produced Dylan’s 1974 Planet Waves album. “He was just writing about what he felt was pertinent at the time.” Dylan, he said, would spend time in the New York Public Library keeping up with world events. As a writer, he paid attention to injustice, on many different scales. On of his most moving early songs, “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” comes straight out of a news clipping. So here we have an artist who is not afraid to get his hands dirty with ink from newspapers. He was never above politics, or detached from it. He got Robbie Robertson to do the same thing, and from that, we get songs like “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”—which was written by a Canadian who did some research. “Dylan has got something to say,” Fraboni continued, speaking in a late May interview. “Whether he wants to be a spokesman for a generation or not, he definitely has brought a lot of things into the forefront. The other thing to consider historically is that music was about dancing before Bob Dylan. The parents of the generation born in the 1940s were into the dance bands. Then along comes Bob Dylan and he changes the whole framework. Suddenly these songs mean something. There is a message, whether you want to call it that or not.”

Bob Dylan, Rolling Thunder Tour, 1975, © Ken Regan www.morrisonhotelgallery.com

BY ERIC FRANCIS COPPOLINO

To me, that message is a chronicle of the half-century he’s been writing music, at least as told through the eyes of an American. Many times he has seemed to be sounding a warning. In 1962 he described “guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,” ominously describing the Vietnam War that would engulf the United States two years later. In 1983, lamented that all his clothes were made for slave wages in places like Singapore, in the same song warning, “I can see a day coming when even your home garden is gonna be against the law.” As the trade deficit grows, and as Europe and the United States ban herbs and farmers’ markets, we had better listen. (If you’re wondering about the potential farmer’s market ban, Google “Food Safety Modernization Act.”) Dylan also redefined the genre of folk music. There were obviously folk songs before Dylan; it’s just that very few people dared to write new ones, and certainly not on a regular basis. Folk music was a somewhat stodgy tradition— and he opened it up to new contributors and new ideas. “In truth there are no modern singer-songwriters writing in any sort of American roots or folk idiom who don’t owe a debt to Dylan,” Roseanne Cash told Chronogram. “We can all trace our work—how it’s structured, where we draw inspiration, and the self-reference (which hopefully doesn’t tip over into self-absorption) back to Dylan. In the same way that there is no modern country music without the Carter Family, there are no modern singer-songwriters without Bob Dylan.” He even influenced the Beatles, but he did more than turn them on to pot. He encouraged them to do something meaningful with their platform, and they did. Of the four, John Lennon took that message closest to heart. For many, Dylan’s message was a bit too much. As David Bowie said, he “brought a few more people on and put the fear in a whole lot more.” There was the episode when Dylan walked off the set of the “Ed Sullivan Show” when network censors would not let him play “Talkin’ John Birch Society Blues,” which mocks the Communist threat that was taken so seriously at the time, and is now known to be about the paranoia he was pointing out. A couple of years later, he and his band were attacked—even physically—by his fans at a concert in Forest Hills for because he came out with an electric guitar.

Lest you think he was ever controversial for its own sake, that is, if his body of work is not convincing enough, let’s look at his astrology. His birth data is rated as AA—the highest rating, which means birth record in hand. We can be confident of his Sagittarius ascendant: He was born with a broad and far-reaching vision. The Galactic Center (literally, the black hole at the core of our galaxy, which is located in late Sagittarius) is rising when he is born; people with a prominent GC can have a cosmic quality, and an influence that seems to lurk behind everything. Even many people with no interest in astrology know that Dylan is a Gemini. He embodies the concept perfectly—the messenger-trickster who is witty and articulate in a way that is distinct to that sign. Just for emphasis, he has Mercury—the ruling planet of Gemini—gleaming right on the western horizon, where everyone can see it. When something is on the western horizon, it can work like a mirror; the chart’s native can see himself there, and the person with the placement can function like a mirror, closely identifying with the public and vice versa. In part owing to that Mercury, my friend and astrological colleague Gary Caton describes Dylan as “Hermes personified.� That Mercury has another special distinction—it’s connected to these odd points called lunar nodes, which bind a person to public karma. And he also has Venus in Gemini, granting him a status known even to his fans as a triple Gemini. Basically, that means there are six, 12 or 24 or him; multiple planets in Gemini tend to multiply. But that’s not the part of his chart that I find the most interesting. To me the really interesting part has always been that he also has four planets in Taurus. Gemini can have an airy quality and, by itself, can want for substance. This is where Taurus comes in. He is working from a foundation of solid values, and this is what he expresses in his music. Let’s consider how this works in his chart. In astrology, there are basically three kinds of planets: the kind that move fast (such as Mercury, Venus, and the Sun, which he has grouped in Gemini). The fast movers are about style and personality. Then there are the ones that move slowly. These tell the story of a generation and of society itself. Three of the slow-movers have collected for a rare conjunction in Taurus. This grouping will be present, in one form or another, for everyone born between 1939 and 1941. Hobby historians: do those dates ring a bell? The world was on the brink of many changes that would be propelled by the same astrology under which Dylan was born. Taurus is often mistaken for a reserved, stable earth sign. It’s earthy like a volcano, or the place where two tectonic plates meet. There can be constant tension, even if it’s deep under the ground. People with strong Taurus in their charts have a lovely presentation, but they are on fi re inside. Their need to constantly reinvent themselves is belied by that smooth exterior. But Dylan has the advantage of all that Gemini. He can reinvent himself externally, as an ongoing experiment. His strong Gemini gives him a stomach for something that’s abhorrent to most Taureans—inconsistency. On his 1976 album Desire, there is his famous tribute to Rubin “Hurricane� Carter, who was falsely accused of a 1966 triple murder in New Jersey. Had Dylan not put that song on the album, then done a benefit concert for him at Madison Square Garden, Carter might still be in jail. He was freed from prison in 1985 after his two convictions were thrown out. On the same album, Dylan has a tribute to Joey Gallo, a New York mobster suspected of involvement in the1971 murder of Joe Colombo, a major New York godfather. “Joey� manages to be a combination of a dirge, an obituary, and a protest song. The tribute to Gallo is every bit as sympathetic as the one to Carter. Is Dylan telling us he can see both sides of the story? Or that everyone deserves fair treatment? From the “two sides of the coin� files, in one biography I read the story of both the Gallo gang and members of the NYPD organized crime unit being invited to the final mix of the song. Both cars pulled up outside the recording studio at the same time and seeing the other, both left. This was attributed to Dylan’s wry sense of humor. You need a little of that if you want to be relevant. From one journalist to another, I would like to thank Bob Dylan for giving many people permission to say something that means something. Who would have thought, at the time Dylan emerged, that the world would become one giant advertisement, selling mostly packaging, usually paid for on a credit card. Thanks to Bob, strewn along the foggy ruins of time, we will find not only relics of what happened before us, but seeds of how to look at the world and see it clearly.

Planet Waves Horoscopes ARIES

(March 20-April 19)

You may notice that your life becomes rather quiet all of a sudden. By that, I mean your circumstances are settling, and so is your state of mind. What seemed so urgent just a few weeks or months ago is now more a matter of reflection, and this is the time to reflect. There is a life lesson here: Life runs a little like the tides (though somewhat less predictably), with peaks of intensity that don’t necessarily require you to make big changes. The urgency appears to have involved your pressing need for independence in the context of a situation that was keeping you hemmed in. The urgency has passed; the specific situation has not. However, you may notice that it starts to seem less intractable as the month progresses. Despite these changes, the same basic question remains: Does this circumstance support your long-term growth? You now have a more mature task at hand, which is to evaluate that question when you’re not feeling like you’re on fire and have to run outside. The question is just as important today as it ever was. It’s just as crucial that you make up your mind, and come to terms, with your environment, whether it’s a personal relationship, a career situation or both. You have some big goals. You want to increase your presence in the world. And you want room around you to love the way that you love. Remember your goals, every single day.

TAURUS

(April 19-May 20)

This month something rare and beautiful happens: Jupiter enters your birth sign, where it will remain continuously for more than a year. While Jupiter sometimes has issues of raising image over substance, this is not true in Taurus. As you know, a year is short. You are not usually so keen on making changes to the way you live. Yet Jupiter is inviting you to expand, to make improvements, and to enter a direct relationship with this elusive thing known as fortune. Were there ever a time to begin thinking in abundance consciousness, that would be now. Begin that by counting your blessings. You have many that you don’t usually consider: Yes, start with the dry roof and the sandwich in your hand, but quickly move on from there to subtler points like your intelligence, your curiosity and your gift for language. Of all the resources you have, your ability to express yourself is one of the most significant. And for as persistent as you are at sticking to one way of doing things, you can, at a moment’s notice, go into flexible mode, and adopt an alternative point of view—one you had in your vest all along. I suggest you beware of the fear that you will be seen as inconsistent for changing your opinion. This is not a matter of your public image—which by the way is doing just fine. This is a matter of maximizing your happiness.

There is no fence around the parts of yourself that you need to protect; there is no instruction manual to point out your weaknesses. There is no automatic way to tell truth from lies. Yet you can do all of these things. When you think of the concept of boundaries, substitute the concept “discernment.� Your perception is the first gateway to authenticity and right action, and if you use it, you will get better at it. You have a gift for seeing the unseen, so the first step is deciding to trust yourself. That’s the foundation of all success, self-confidence and trust in others. No matter what else you may be doing, you must trust your choices, your intelligence and your abilities. All of that translates into a sound relationship with yourself. I’ve found that most people struggle with trusting their own judgment—and getting out of that is like escaping from a trap that was set for us long ago. You can make authentic progress doing this now. The first step is entering a conscious dialog with your fear—not avoiding or denying it. Another involves knowing the difference between wishful thinking and having faith in yourself or in a situation. And part involves not projecting your own good intentions onto others who are not so benefic as yourself. You don’t need to obsess over how evil some people are; you merely need to recognize them and deal with them appropriately—which usually means staying out of their way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) One of the things that is never mentioned about your sign is your relationship to dualism: that is, to the property of both psyche and of physical existence that seems to be in a conscious dance of pair-bonding, hemispheres of the globe, two sides of the coin, two sides to the issue, or the unquestioned belief in good versus evil. In many ways humanity is based on this whole notion, yet most of the time, it’s somehow cleverly hidden. It’s hidden, that is, until it’s not. The relationship between separation within and the experience of separation in the world is complex, and there seem to be no easy solutions to the problem. Indeed, we count on being separate from others as a way of experiencing them directly. Yet as you begin to see your hidden inner divisions, and make a conscious effort to heal them, something about your perception of the world will change. While “healing� for most people implies discomfort, the kind of healing I’m talking about is self-reconciliation. That can be pleasurable, as you reveal to yourself aspects of yourself that deeply want to be exposed, unlocked and set free. It’s not the same pleasure as a chocolate parfait. This is a more transgressive kind of exploration, which can lead the way to some interesting relational experiences as your inner relationship opens up. Given the long-term picture of your astrology, what you learn this month will provide useful information for how to guide your life in the future.

A few times the past year, your astrology has hinted at the theme of ancestral material. This is a concept so elusive that few people even have any reference to understand it. We’re sometimes aware of the influence our parents had on us, but rarely do we consider what is passed down, say, through 10 or 100 generations. I suggest you mull over this possibility, remembering that while DNA is shuffled, there are threads that lead directly to events, people and circumstances of the past. Some of them are passed to the present moment with startling precision, usually as thought forms—and one of them may be lurking around you right now. It won’t be that hard to find: It’s the thing about which you feel the most stuck, the thing you keep tripping over. While it’s a good idea to check both your mother’s and your father’s lineage here, and to look at relationship patterns of your ancestors, I suggest you bark up your mom’s side of the family tree. It’s the thing she didn’t talk about that is likely to be the thing that’s hanging you up. Because she didn’t talk about it, it had a quality of not existing, but it did, and though unspoken, the thought form was conveyed to you. A few words come to mind to describe it: covetous, possessive, narrow, proud and stuck. That might translate to a child as, “Am I wrong for existing?” Perhaps not that exactly, but something like it.

LIBRA (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) Don’t negotiate too much. In fact, I would say don’t negotiate at all, especially over what is already yours. The people around you want the same things you do; some, or one, is just a little less comfortable with the notion than you are. This may be difficult for you to conceive of, since it’s perfectly desirable to you. If you negotiate, remember that you’re actually participating in someone else’s inner working-out process. It’s better to leave that to them. And it would be great if you remember that you have what this person wants; their issue is that they are likely to be struggling with that desire. Usually we look to others to get us through these things, and we end up getting used as projection screens where others work out their issues. This is precisely what I’m suggesting you step out of the way of. You know that there’s no reason for conflict. You are not in doubt about whether what you, or anyone else, desires is “good” or “legitimate.” I would say that you’re looking for a meeting place where you can share with other willing people. So start with the willing others and then get into the sharing. Whether someone feels willing or ready is really their business. Soon enough anyone with any doubts will figure out that desire is healthy, especially the desire to make contact with others. The conflict is a ruse, and when that ends, something else will be revealed.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 22)

We’re familiar with the concept of relationship as mirror. What about mirror as relationship? Part of why mirror as relationship is uncomfortable for many involves areas of gender that are distinctly taboo. Most of us openly crave being mirrored by the opposite gender. That is supposedly normal, but devoting one’s life to “the other” can have a way of eschewing a fundamental encounter with self. Within this drama, many crave being mirrored by someone of the same gender, though in a different person. An aspect of the pleasure of this, in part, is that it brings us a little closer to ourselves. Another is that it sets us free of so much conditioning that relationship has to be heterosexual—a struggle that many who are out as queer still have to address on a daily basis. I know I’m writing about this in a horoscope, but we’re talking about sensitive inner territory here, and it’s usually thrown behind all kinds of veils. For example, how many people who have bisexual desires dare to write them in their diary, fearing that someone will find them when they die? While we cannot remove the taboo on erotic or relational matters, it is possible to enter the taboo and explore it, which is to say, explore yourself. For the moment, you may consider the whole matter of gender and sexual identity to be entirely flexible. Everything is optional. Every option is open. It’s all good, the better for getting your feelings into the open where you can figure that out directly. 6/11 CHRONOGRAM PLANET WAVES 125

You may be feeling like long-resolved fears are suddenly being stirred up: Stuff like whether you really fit in, whether you feel authentic and whether it’s even safe to be authentic. These are some of the enormous paradoxes of the social world that we all have to live with. The important thing is that you not try to compensate for any insecurity, or cover it up, or pretend it’s not there. Face the issue directly. Remember, it’s not “all you,” but you’re the one in the driver’s seat on resolving the theme of where you belong in society, including what friends you want or need. One thing that’s clear is that zone of belonging is changing, and elements are dissolving. In astrology this is about the same house as your highest wishes. By that I don’t mean your goals, but one step beyond your goals. I mean your dreams. One thing that gets in the way of what we want now is letting go of what we wanted in the past, but which no longer serves us. So do a little inventory. Make sure you include taking off the list things that you have attained or become, and keep your focus on what you want in the future. One reason you depend on a measure of over-focus on certain objectives is that your true desires have a tendency to change so fast. Part of letting go of the past means reassessing your desires quickly. The ones that matter most will come up again and again—that’s how you’ll know they’re real.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 22)

Jupiter busts a move this month—heading into Taurus for a 13-month visit. Jupiter in Taurus has a nice feeling, introducing some open-ended potential to the solid nature of Taurus, and grounding the fleeting energy of Sagittarius in something solid. The theme of this transit is wellbeing. I like the Spanish word better: bienestar. Think of Jupiter as your star of wellbeing; your bienestar. Here’s a quick rundown of what you might do with that. There are habits you want to break; Jupiter will give you attractive alternatives that don’t skimp on the pleasure. There are habits you want to form, and you want them to be good for you. One key element is shifting work from something you have to do to something that is nourishing. Though commitment may be involved, the most significant step is being in an environment where you can develop your talents. That’s the thing to aim for and that’s the thing that’s likely to happen if you do. Put another way, you need room to expand. Sagittarius is all about space: having your space, taking your space, and for that matter all the weird things that exist in outer space. Sagittarius is about knowledge. Go places where your knowledge is valued, and where you get to experience it specifically as an asset. These things are habits, as are the opposite tendencies, which I will not list here. Start a little at a time, for example, by knowing when your environment is welcoming of you and acknowledging that.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Please don’t let jealousy get in the way. There is always a better guitarist, a prettier model, someone who has been painting longer than you, someone who you perceive as having more freedom. What I suggest you emphasize is the willingness to dare. It’s not as daring as you may think. It’s actually fun; not the riding your bike with no hands kind of fun, but the seductive and satisfying kind of fun. As you expand into this territory, you’re likely to meet your own resistance. That provides you with another opportunity to work through it, or play through it, and go further. Then if you meet your own resistance again, you’ll know what to do. This resistance may come in the form of what you feel it’s okay to tell others about what you desire. Notice these little crises directly, and pay attention to what they tell you about your current state of mind. Note, neither your state of mind nor your values are fixed. They are flexible, mobile, free—they are something you can explore and experiment with. Incidentally, the transit I’m describing is Jupiter ingressing Taurus, which is your house of creativity and pleasure and your solar 5th house. Jupiter loves the 5th house. It can bring a streak of luck, though I suggest you not squander it in games of chance but rather in your human encounters. You need these, and you dearly want to be free of the religion of jealousy that the world tries to convince us is mandatory. The only way to get there is to go there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It’s not easy being an Aquarius. Half the time you feel like you’re from the future, living in a world where next to nothing makes sense. There are plenty of other moments when you feel like you have to hide how smart you are, because most people just don’t want to know what you know. They have that whole ‘don’t make me think’ thing and they may not recognize the expression on your face when you look at them wondering what their problem is. Okay, so much for them. What you are about to embark on is a rather long phase of being comfortable in your knowledge. In a sense, you’re going to be living in your knowledge, and like it there. One way this might manifest is not being so annoyed by how little people want to know, and another way is being happy that you not only know so much, you’re even curious to know more. Right now it’s less important what you do with your vast inner library and more important that you tend to it, keep it clear and somewhat organized and most of all, recognize its value to your existence. Knowledge is a living thing, like a plant. It needs to be loved, watered, pruned, and it needs the right amount of light. You, as a human, need company; the place you call home is the place to welcome those who recognize your intelligence for what it is, which is to say, who recognize you for who you are.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

I know I’m a writer and this is probably the best horoscope that (as a Pisces) I could write for myself. I also know how many people dearly, deeply want to express themselves in writing and just cannot, for whatever reason, bring themselves to do it. Jupiter changing signs this month is very, very good for writing. It’s even better for ideas. Much of that goodness will come in the form of recognizing the pleasure of the exchange between ideas and their expression. The thing to focus on is the pleasure and sensuality of your intellectual process. Many writers of yore, and I do suppose a few writers of today, imbibe alcohol as part of the writing process specifically to loosen up and experience that sensuality. While I don’t accept or strive for purity in any form, let’s use alcohol as a metaphor for inspiration. Jupiter is associated with comfort, so work in a comfortable space. It’s associated with imagery, so explore that, in the form of images you love and images that you create. Jupiter is associated with anything international, so bring that into the scene. Jupiter is associated with indulgence, so be sure to indulge what you really, truly want to write, and if you don’t know, dive into an experiment and have fun doing it. One last thing: Jupiter is associated with big libraries. Some time in the next few weeks, get yourself to one of those, so you start this transit off right. And as for wine, all hail the great god Dionysus. 126 PLANET WAVES CHRONOGRAM 6/11

Parting Shot

Untitled, Blinky Palermo, oil on canvas, 37 3/8” x 31 3/4”, 1964. Collection Stroher, Darmstadt, Germany.

Blinky Palermo died in 1977 at the tender age of 33, leaving behind a body of work that has cemented his reputation as one of the foremost painters of his generation. Long celebrated in Europe, Palermo’s work is rarely seen in the US and he is relatively unknown compared to his contemporaries Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke. “Blinky Palermo: Retrospective 1964-1977,” curated by Lynne Cooke, Dia Curator at Large, is the first comprehensive North American retrospective of the German abstract artist. Being exhibited simultaneously at Dia:Beacon and at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, the 60 works in the show, drawn primarily from German collections, are completing a tour of the US that included the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The retrospective documents the distinct phases of Palermo’s evolution, from the objects created while still under the sway of Joseph Beuys after his graduation from the Dusseldorf Art Academy to his late metal pictures. The show also includes examples of the work he is most famous for, his fabric paintings, simple lengths of colored material stretched over a frame. As Tom Eccles and Philippe Vergne note in the introduction to the publication accompanying the show, Palermo’s work isn’t painting against painting, as was the work of some of his contemporaries, but painting beyond painting, defying clear placement within a fixed tradition. This joint exhibition between Dia: Beacon and CCS Bard marks the first major collaboration between the region’s two marquee modern art museums. “Blinky Palermo: Retrospective 1964-1977” will be exhibited at Dia: Beacon and CCS Bard June 25 through October 31.
