Publisher’s Column by Barry Plaxen Sumer has icumened in, and the art galleries are capitalizing on it. The newer spelling of the mid-year season is contained in the exhibit titles for shows in Wurtsboro, Pine Bush (and for a poetry reading, too), Port Jervis, Huguenot and Montgomery. Clowns of one sort or another abound too, and can be found on walls in Mountaindale and Narrowsburg. Welcome back to CANVAS, Mountaindale.

The YYs Bring Armenia to Warwick

The YY Sisters trio perform classical Armenian songs with a jazz flair at venues all across the northeast. Their name comes from their surname (Yeghiazaryan) and the capital of Armenia (Yerevan). YY Sisters started as a classical and traditional group, whose repertoire included Bach fugues and pre-written pieces by classical Armenian composers. Slowly, they infused elements of jazz with their classical pieces and began harmonizing simple Armenian folk songs from their childhood into three-part arrangements, which has become their principal singing style, creating stirring, haunting sonorities. Sona, Tatev, and Luciné are bringing their three-part harmonies of Armenian compositions

and spiritual hymns to Pacem In Terris for the August 9, 5:00pm concert at 96 Covered Bridge Road in Warwick. Donation: $15. Tickets go on sale at 4:00pm,and you can visit the sculpture garden and museum at this oasis of solitude, art, inspiration and natural beauty, located along the Wawayanda River. For information, phone 845-986-4329.

National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, Inc.

After three years of intensive fundraising, design, fabrication and planning to implement a new design that will enhance the visitor experience with new exhibits, video and stateof-the-art technology, the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor (NPHHOH) is reopening after its May closing. The military museum design team of Brent Johnson Design, Split Rock Studios and Northern Light Productions have created an experience that will honor the sacrifices of all those men and women who sacrificed so much for our nation. “With this first phase, we are determined to properly recognize our Purple Heart recipients in each branch of the United States military,” said Andrew Komonchak, Executive Director of the NPHHOH. “Given the fact that the Hall is a national institution, we are proud that we have raised the $2 million to fund this project locally, with tremendous support from NYS Senator William Larkin on the State level, three local foundations, and private philanthropists throughout the region. Everyone involved is looking forward to enhancing the Hall of Honor in a respectful way that honors our wounded and fallen veterans.” “This project is an important one, not only so our citizens recognize the full costs of war, but it is also vital to our veterans and their families to help them with the healing process,” said NYS Senator William Larkin. “It was an honor to work with the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, Inc. to see this project come to its

fruition.” Thousands of veterans, their families, and tourists visit the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor each year including many Purple Heart recipients who consider this their “home”. Although the Hall has only been open for eight years, gains and advances in technology, the need to honor all recipients from all branches and to include the recipients from the current War on Terror made this project necessary. The Hall, at 374 Temple Hill Road in New Windsor, will re-open on August 15, Purple Heart Appreciation Day, “with the unveiling at 1:00pm of an incredible sculpture as the focal point,” said Komonchak. For information, phone Anita Pidala, Director at 845-561-1765 x29. For more information about National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, Inc. and/or to make donations, contact Andrew Komonchak at andy@thepurpleheartinc.com or by phone at 845-978-3434.

The ensemble includes saxophone, piano, bass and drums. Soul and R&B singer Paula RalphBirkett, the band’s vocalist, is also a writer of lyrics and a composer of music. “Although I do not consider myself a jazz singer, I totally believe in the spirit of jazz. There are many different connotations of what jazz is. Jazz needs to be studied and learned, but the freedom must be emphasized. I don’t want to be known as a “studied” jazz singer,” Paula states.

“On The Terrace at Sevres” by Marie Braquemond

Impressionism was the first distinctly modern artistic movement to sweep Europe. For the first time artists moved away from an imitative representation of reality. Instead the focus of their painting was on the color, line and light that captured “everyday” life, as opposed to traditional classical subjects and their spatial arrangement on the canvas. For the first time, too, the movement shifted the spotlight onto female artists. In 19th century Paris, women still remained thwarted by the constraints of social reality. A woman could only pursue artistic training through private means; the renowned Ecole des Beaux-Arts, for example, was closed to women in 1897. This explains why certain painters had studios for women, which were generally more expensive than “normal” studios. Eva Gonzalez studied initially at the studio of the painter Charles Chaplin, where she also met Mary Cassatt. Gonzalez was the only female

“Lydia Seated in The Garden” by Mary Cassatt

artist to study with Edouard Manet. Berthe Morisot went to study with Joseph Guichard, and through him became acquainted with the contemporary trend for plein-air painting. Marie Bracquemond met the gifted etcher Felix Bracqemond at the Louvre and married him. But for Marie, perhaps the most talented female artist of the impressionist movement, marriage seemed to have a devastating cramping effect on her creativity over time. She eventually gave up painting altogether around 1890 at the insistence of her husband. Women and Impressionistic Painting, an exhibition of beautiful works created by extraordinary regional artists, takes place from August 7-29 at the Crawford Gallery of Fine Art (CGFA) 65 Main Street, in Pine Bush. A reception will be held on August 14 from 5:30pm-7:30pm. For information, email cgfa@hvc.rr.com or call 845-744-8634.

The Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra (GNSO) was founded in 1995 by Dr. Woomyung Choe and its first president, George Handler, who was followed as president after 10 years by the late Fred McCurdy. Dr. Choe, Musical Director for the Harvey Felder Orchestra’s first 20 years, retired after a stirring performance on June 6. Four musical maestros will conduct six concerts for the GNSO over the next year in a “contest” to determine its next Musical Director. The finalists were chosen by a GNSO search committee that received applications from more than 100 candidates around the world. Orchestra Manager Greg Phillips, a member of the search committee that reviewed all finalist performances in person, said, “We were absolutely blown away by the quality and enthusiasm of the candidates. The greater Newburgh community and the Hudson River Valley will be well-served by whoever wins.” Audience Opinion to Play Critical Role in Year-Long Selection Process The selection process will include input from GNSO musicians and audience members through surveys that will be distributed at each of the 2015-2016 season performances in Aquinas Hall.

Wallkill River School: Froehlich & Sycamore Farms

Artists from the Wallkill River School (WRS) have teamed up with farmers once again to bring cultural tourism to Orange County. The Farm/Art Trail is a map of participating farm stands where one artist has been painting on each farm for the past year. The trail is a map developed by O.C. Tourism, to encourage families to travel from farm-to-farm. Each stop on the trail features a picturesque farm and the artwork of an artist who loves it, and a geo cache for viewers to offer their own comments. Each of these artists are featured in month-long shows at the WRS. Fresh art from the Farm/Art Trail, Mickie MacMillan’s paintings of Froelich’s Farm, and Shawn Dell Joyce’s paintings of Sycamore Farms are on display August 1-30. Emerging artist James Van Gelder will be featured in a solo show in the workshop room. Mickie MacMillan grew up with a passion for drawing, especially horses. Mickie started painting on a whim to fill her empty walls, but soon discovered a latent, natural talent for watercolor. She began to paint later in life, and specialize in horse portraits and watercolor landscapes. She is largely a self-taught artist, and a member of the Middletown Art Group and the WRS.

“Froehlich’s Farm” by Mickie MacMillan

Mickie is particularly inspired by the Hudson Valley scenery, especially the old homes and farms of the area, and the lighting at certain times of the day. In her own words: “The farms and homes of the area offer so much history, and I really enjoy the freedom and spontaneity of watercolor.” WRS founder Shawn Dell Joyce was an art prodigy; at seventeen, she had her first solo show in a commercial gallery, while an undergraduate at the University of North Texas. At twenty, she moved cross-country to do graduate work at the San Francisco Art Institute, and had her second solo show. “My art is shaped by my childhood on a citrus farm in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. I was inspired by the immigrants working the verdant Texas landscape, and sketched people hard at work in the citrus orchards, particularly women, whose hands never seem to rest,” says

Dell Joyce. At twenty-five, Joyce’s work was collected by the Museum of Modern Art, and the Centre Georges Pompidou as part of a collection of East Village artists. Joyce’s love of local color, and local flavor landed her in Orange County, where she worked with other artists to create the WRS, a nonprofit arts organization with a mission of preserving agricultural history while creating economic opportunity for local artists. On display in the Sandra Anderson gallery are Joyce’s paintings of Sycamore Farms, still lifes of fresh produce and beautiful vistas of the Shawangunk Ridge, skylines, and underwater scenes of diving adventures. Emerging artist James van Gelder, was born in Ramsey, NJ and moved to Warwick in 2003.

“Sycamore Farms” (plein air) by Shawn Dell Joyce

He has been studying art seriously since the early 80’s, taking classes at the Art Students League, and workshops with Frederick Franck, Mel Stabin, and others. His illustrations have been published in a number of magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times. He has been in group and solo shows in many local spaces such as the Warwick Library, Baby Grand Books, Bertoni Gallery, Collage Gallery and Orange County Community College. His love of nature and the outdoors is a driving force in his art. An opening reception includes fresh produce from both farms and local wines, takes place on August 8, from 5:00pm-7:00pm, at 232 Ward Street, Montgomery. (Catch the Summer Members Show in the Hallway Gallery.) Call 845-457-2787 for information.

Owl Be Darned! “Audubon and Friends Too 2015”

“Snowy Owl” by Lisa O’Gorman

“Snowy Owl” by Stephen Davis

Story by Kate Hyden

As curator of the biennial Audubon and Friends Too 2015 exhibition, I expect a wide variety of birds and other wildlife from my artists and photographers. This year I asked a select group of 25 to submit pieces of artwork inspired by some of the birds, butterflies or other fascinating critters they have encountered in their travels, or in their backyards, and to tell me a little tale about at least one that can be shared with the viewer. This year, it seems we have an abundance of owls (including my own snowy owl, Joni, seen at Bethel Woods). Lisa O’Gorman has a snowy owl in flight, Stephen Davis captured another on the wing and Caroline Harrow produced a beautiful watercolor of a great horned owl she observed in Florida. Other artworks coming in this year range from the mighty bald eagle to the tiny wren; from dancing butterflies to

Shandelee Music Festival 2015: Five Chamber Music & One Solo Piano Concerts

The magic of world class music continues in Sullivan County as the Shandelee Music Festival (SMF) begins its 22nd season with a total of five concerts performed in Shandelee’s beautiful Sunset Concert Pavilion on the mountain. The SMF Board of Directors is dedicating the first concert of the 2015 series in honor and memory of Earl “Bud” Wertheim, artist, patron of the arts and a true “Renaissance Man.” The series opens with an Evening of Chamber Music featuring Hermitage Piano Trio, “Three of Russia’s most spectacular young soloists, turned in a performance of such power and sweeping passion that it left you nearly out of breath.” The Washington Post Barry Plaxen for The Catskill Chronicle: “I had heard cellist Sergey Antonov and pianist Ilya Kazantsev perform duets in Montgomery last year. But the memory of that outstanding concert did not prepare me for what transpired last night. Joined by violinist Misha Keylin, the three world-class artists took three masterworks and with power, passion, consummate skill, dynamism, devotion, excitement, fervor, and ecstasy - with warmth and outbursts, fire and frenzy, intensity and joy - immersed us into their beings as they gave importance and credence to every single note and allowed us to witness how to make even greater music out of great music - with every note being the most important note of the evening. “Cellist Antonov is remarkable. Often (not always - as he does smile) with Buster Keaton unmoving facial muscles and little body movement he somehow is able to manifest, solely with fingers and bow, nuances and subtle shadings that no one else, on any instrument, could possibly do more of. Pianist Kazantsev shone so brilliantly with much body movement and strength, vigor and power, making the music reverberate throughout the room and throughout our bodies. Keylin seemed to be the cement that held it all together - and it WAS all-together. As much as they all shone individually, they were, and are, a great ensemble, with the interplay and sharing of energy that is inherent in greatness.” On August 13, at 8:00pm they will perform

Hermitage Piano Trio

popular trios by Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and, for the 150th anniversary of the his birth, a not-so-well known trio by Lewellyn Adrienn Sibelius, the Sanchez-Wener Kantor Havträsk Trio. Sibelius named his trios for the cities in which they were composed. The National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts awarded Lewellyn SanchezWerner the only Young Arts gold medal for music in 2015. Llewellyn also received the Atlantic Council’s 2014 Young Global Citizen Award, along with fellow recipients Robert De Niro, Prime Ministers Shimon Peres and Lee Kuan Yew, and Presidents Enrique Pena Nieto and Petro Poroshenko. He performs solo piano works by Bach, Ravel, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Liszt on August 15 at 8:00pm. Debussy, Phillippe Gaubert, Poulenc, SaintSaens and Prokofiev are up next. Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was a French musician who was a distinguished performer on the flute, a respected conductor, and a composer, primarily for the flute. One of the, if not THE, greatest virtuoso works for violin, Saint-Saens’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, will be performed ON THE FLUTE (and piano) by Adrienn Kantor and Erika Allen. (Quite a feat!) Kantor is a prize winner of the Bard

Aeolus Quartet

Conservatory’s Concerto Competition. After winning two competitions at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, she Erika Dmitri was awarded Allen Berlinsky to play two flute concertos in 2015 with the RCS orchestra in Glasgow. Allen has served as coach, staff accompanist, piano teacher, and mentor at The Bard College Conservatory of Music. They perform their mostly French music concert on August 20 at 8:00pm. The youngest winner in the history of the Paganini International Violin Competition led to Dmitri Berlinsky’s performance on

Paganini’s own Guarneri del Gesú instrument, a privilege shared by only a handful of artists in history. Subsequent triumphs followed, and he is sure to create another with “his friends” when they perform a string quartet by Anton Arensky and a piano quartet by Brahms on August 22 at 8:00pm. Rimsky-Korsakov has said, “In his youth Arensky did not escape some influence from me; later the influence came from Tchaikovsky. He will quickly be forgotten.” NOT! Arensky is quite popular all over the world, and his music has recently been played to much acclaim in Milford (Kindred Spirits Arts), Beacon (St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble), Newburgh (Newburgh Concert Strings) and Jeffersonville (Weekend of Chamber Music). The Shandelee 2015 Festival ends with the world class resident graduate string quartet of The Juilliard School, Aeolus Quartet, performing music by Haydn, Bartok and Beethoven on August 24 at 8:00pm. As with the opening concert musicians, this quartet is also a group of master-phrasers, and their amazing clarity makes Bartok sound simple and highly accessible to the listener. Advanced concert reservations are required by calling 845-439-3277. Online reservations can be made at www.shandelee.org/concerts/ tickets.htm Each concert will be followed by a specialty dessert reception.

Tap Your Troubles Away!

Advice from tunesmith Jerry Herman from his musical, Mack & Mabel: Tap your troubles away. You’ve bounced a big check, your mom has the vapors. Tap your troubles away. Your car had a wreck, they’re serving you papers. When you’re the one that it always rains on, simply try putting your Mary Janes on. Your boss just gave you the axe, there’s years of back tax you simply can’t pay. If a sky full of crap always lands in your lap, make a curtsey and tap your troubles away. Tap your troubles away, you’re sued for divorce, your brother gets locked up. Tap your troubles away, you’re fat as a horse, and find that you’re knocked up. When you need something to turn your mind off, why not try tapping your poor behind off? Your boat goes over the falls, the plane you’re on stalls, the pilot yells, “Pray!” When your parachute strap is beginning to snap, smile a big smile, and tap, tap, tap your troubles away When the wolf’s at the door, there’s a bluebird in store... ...if you glide cross the floor till your ankles get sore. Just tap your troubles away!

Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler & Warner Baxter (& the Resident Company) in the 1933 movie.

Well, if YOU can’t tap dance - THEY can. The ‘they’ meaning Forestburgh Playhouse’s Resident Company and guest Equity artists. They are going to make you forget all your woes as they tap away to songs from various Busby Berkeley 1930s movies, i.e, Shuffle Off to Buffalo, We’re in the Money and that great number: Lullaby of Broadway. So, c’mon along and listen to and see 42nd Street. Based on the novel by Bradford Ropes and the subsequent 1933 film, it focuses on the efforts of dictatorial Great White Way director Julian Marsh to mount a successful stage production of a musical extravaganza at the height of the Great Depression. The highly entertaining, nostalgic music runs from August 11-23 at the Playhouse, 39 Forestburgh Road. Call 845-794-1194. See ad on page 25 for more details.

60’s Vaudeville

“Expressions of the Moment” in Hasbrouck Even the most serene life can be a complicated, confusing and sometimes hazardous trip from childhood to middle age, and even well beyond. Still, any individual moment might lead to an amazing insight, a beautiful memory, a significant achievement... or a fabulous work of art. A new exhibit at the Old Stone House of Hasbrouck, by two women whose lives overflow with rich and rewarding experiences, has emerged from many of those seemingly autonomous events. Photographer Beth Green joins painter Lynn Kaplan to show works, both bold and muted, that represent key events in their multi-faceted careers. “Our photos and canvasses capture the moments that have touched our spirits,” says Green, who interned in art photography under Ansel Adams and Minor White. For her, events caught on film included not just the beauty of her world, but also the stark realities that emerge from photojournalism. Early in her professional career, she made news as the first woman taking shots of professional athletes inside the locker room, resulting in “not always pretty sights.” She went on to photograph Queen Elizabeth, Pope John Paul II, various U.S. presidents, and countless sports events. Today, her images are “quiet and more peaceful,” she says, with a

focus on architecture and corporate work. Painter Lynn Kaplan’s artistic inclinations began with song and dance, then literature and design. Her oils are replete with symbols of her own life story. A work titled Middle Age includes her decades-old prom flowers, as well as a nearby fresh bouquet “expressing womanhood in full bloom,” she says. Another work, Domesticity, uses a cherry pie to portray “my feelings of life, so delicious and inviting.” Their exhibit opens with a 7:00pm10:00pm wine-and-cheese reception on July 31, and a second 1:00pm-4:00pm reception on August 1. Visitors can call 917-499-9700 to view the show throughout August by appointment, at The Old Stone House, 282 Hasbrouck Road, Woodbourne. www.TheOldStoneHouseOfHasbrouck.org

“Made in Mountaindale”

“What is a Clown? is a body of work that confronts my fear concerning the current state of affairs in our country. I perceive that our political system is weakened by decisions made that are not always in the best interests of the people governed,” says Micheline Gingras. “What is a Clown? consists of twelve lifesize collage figures which float directly onto the walls. Each of the twelve fictional cut out figures comments on an aspect of our present national reality. While creating this body of work, I instinctively let my creative emotions speak to these images in a dance of the twelve betraying apostles that I call ‘Clowns.” “R&D Sculptures is an extension of an exploration of Abstract Expressionist painting, which began in 1999,” says Raymon Elozua.

“Colors and shapes from different paintings were “sampled” and combined using CAD software to create new shapes. Welded steel armatures were covered with terra cotta and glazed. Glass blown shapes were then affixed to the fired sculptures. “The tension between the fractured ceramic with the reflective glass is fascinating, a feeling of beauty born out of decay, “ . Grocery Store Gallery in Mountaindale will present Made in Mountaindale, the work of Gingras and Elozua, for the first Mountaindale Biennale art exhibition.

Shadowland Theatre: Woody’s Tunes

Woody Guthrie wrote and sang the songs of a nation - songs of strife and justice, songs of freedom and nature. Did you know... Q. What was written on one of Woody’s guitars? A. This Machine Kills Fascists. Actually, several of Woody’s guitars have this phrase written in different places. Q. Originally written as Dusty Old Dust, Guthrie changed the name and wrote as least four different versions through the 40’s. It’s a song we’ve all sung as we went on our way, probably never realizing that it was originally a Guthrie song. What is this song? A. So Long It’s Been Good To Know You. Woody even had a few war verses thrown in to some of his versions. The Asch/Folkways collection has at least six different manuscripts that he typed. Guthrie composed the tune for the chorus but the verse is sung to the melody of Billy the Kid which he thought to be a traditional folk song, but had been written by Rev. Andrew Jenkins in 1927 and recorded by the great Vernon Dalhart at that time. Later the Weavers (with Pete Seeger) recorded it. Q. Remaining one of Guthrie’s most popular Dust Bowl songs, this one was one of the earliest, written in 1937. Name that song. A. Do-Re-Mi. Woody recorded this for Alan Lomax and the Library of Congress in 1940. It’s

Summer in Poetry

a fun, easy to sing, song that warned the migrants that perhaps California wasn’t the end-all, be-all, just as Steinbeck warned in The Grapes of Wrath. Woody Guthrie was born in 1912 in Okemah, Oklahoma, of a family of culturally diverse heritage, the third of five children. His father was a staunch Democrat, which is why he named Woody, Woodrow Wilson Guthrie. His father was a Southerner, his mother a Northerner, and his uncles, on his paternal side, were of Native American descent. Okemah, planned as a junction between two rail lines, was built on land leased from the Creek Indians, and there was a large African-American presence. All of this, as well as his family trials, would have a bearing on Woody’s future works, providing him with a social conscience, as well as many stories to tell. Travel along with Woody as he chronicles the country from California, through the Dust Bowl, to New York in Woody Guthrie’s American Song, conceived and adapted by Peter Glazer, with orchestrations and vocal arrangements by Jeff Waxman and directed by Chris Blisset, at the Shadowland Theatre, 157 Canal Street, Ellenville, August 7-30.

Brazilian Pianist Demonstrates Samba & Baião Composer, singer and pianist Luiz Simas was born in Rio de Janeiro and has lived in New York City since 1989. Simas has released 6 CDs in the U.S. and has performed on over 300 recordings worldwide. Simas will demonstrate to students on the piano the differences between the two main families of rhythms in Brazil: the samba family (choro, traditional samba, bossanova, etc.) and the baião family (baião, afoxé, xaxado, etc). Simas will then illustrate those differences by teaching how to play those rhythms using

hand percussion. The students will play two different pieces together on their instruments: a simple samba, and a simple baião. Simas will then play and sing pieces which illustrate what was taught in the workshop. The students may be asked to join Luiz in one last number if they wish. Luiz Simas will instruct and entertain at the Eugene D. Nesin Theatre, 22 St. John Street in Monticello, on August 11. The hands-on workshop and lecture performance runs from 4:00pm-5:30pm. All are welcome. For information: 845-794-6013.

Jazz Musician “Reimagines” Michael Jackson

Bassist and composer Iris Ornig is one of the most original female voices on today’s New York jazz scene. Since her arrival in New York City in 2003 from Germany, she has played with an impressive roster of some of the most influential contemporary jazz musicians in New York. Ornig was a huge fan of Michael Jackson and she still is! In the beginning of 2015, Iris decided to work on arrangements of Michael’s hit songs to honor his creative spirit through jazz. She began to twist tunes, shift rhythms,

and explore new harmonies, a real challenge for her as a musician and arranger. Her goal was to interpret Michael’s music in brand new ways to honor the “King of Pop” as a jazz artist. Her band consists of Jeremy Powell on tenor sax, trumpeter David Smith, pianist Addison Frei and Ronen Itzik on drums. See them perform in a concert titled, Iris Ornig Reimagines Michael Jackson at The Falcon, 1348 Rte 9w, in Marlboro, on August 5 at 7:00pm. For information: 845-236-7970.

DON’T BLAME ME... I WAS ALIBI! The Latin word for ‘elsewhere’ is alibi and for centuries lawyers have rested their cases upon evidence that their clients were alibi or elsewhere at the time of the crime. Use of ‘alibi’ was so common that it entered modern speech with no change in spelling and little in meaning. An accused person who’s able to establish an alibi is like a citizen in ancient Rome who answered an accusation by saying he or she was elsewhere when the deed was done. DEJA KNEW The book, I Used to Know That, reminds us that alliteration is writing a number of words in quick succession beginning with the same letter: ‘Full fathom five thy father lies’. Anapest is a figure of speech in which two short syllables are followed by a long one. It’s used in Lewis Carroll’s nonsense poem, The Hunting of the Snark: “In the midst of the word he was trying to say, In the midst of his laughter and glee, He had softly and suddenly vanished away, For the snark was Boojum, you see.” Quite a contrast to John Keats’ Ode to a Nightingale written in iambic pentameter: daDUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM. “My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains

My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk” Keats again: La Belle Dame Sans Merci: “O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms Alone and palely loitering” Keats died of consumption in 1821. He was 26 years old. FOODIE TOWN, USA In 1934, Thomas Carvelas of Yonkers invented a machine for making what he called frozen custard and began selling it from an old, beat-up truck on the streets of New York. Carvelas eventually shortened his name to Tom Carvel and, as we all know, he and his soft ice cream became hugely successful. In fact, the word ‘Carvel’ has become generic...so that if you feel a yen for Carvel, you probably would be satisfied slurping up any quality soft ice cream. Former New York Yankee Paul O’Neill’s sister Molly O’Neill, was a longtime food columnist for The New York Times. In her New York Cookbook, O’Neill has a chapter called Deli Spoken Here: Grade A is a glass of milk, Full House means bacon, lettuce, tomato and turkey, CB, corned beef, Jack Hammer is diner slang for American cheese, tomato and ham. One Off is a plain frankfurter, One With, a frank with sauerkraut, Adam’s Ale is water, and last, eighty-seven and a half, an attractive female is approaching.

The Miles Connection: Hudson Valley Jazz Festival, Year 6

by Philip Ehrensaft

Two headliner concerts mark the increasing stature of the sixth Hudson Valley Jazz Festival, which runs from August 27-August 30 in venues ranging from Peekskill to Kingston. Both headliners feature musicians and music with strong ties to the iconic Miles Davis - both the “hard bop” Miles who was a key creator of the blues-tinged bop that is the core of today’s straight-ahead jazz, and the electronic Miles who pioneered fusing rock’s pulsing backbeat and sonorities with hard bop. Let’s start with the grand finale of the 2015 festival: heavy-hitter jazz trumpeter Wallace Roney brings his band to the stage of the Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center (SLPAC) on August 30, at 7:00pm. Roney, now in midcareer and the top of his game, started out as a child prodigy classical music trumpeter. Then Roney’s attention turned to jazz. The young Roney’s evident talents led to mentoring by two jazz legends: first Clark Terry, and then Miles Davis. Miles collaborated with a who’s who of young jazz musicians on the bandstands of his successive pathbreaking ensembles, but he only chose one musician for direct, personal mentoring: Wallace Roney. Roney was 25 when he began studying with Miles, and the relation continued until Davis’s death in 1992. Besides learning from both Miles’ hard bop and jazz-rock trajectories, Roney was also part of a jazz generation that played a kind of jazz that they labeled “post bop.” During the 1960’s and 1970’s, there was a jazz culture war between the hard boppers and the avant-garde. The postboppers of Roney’s generation are more open to musical insights from experimental jazz, or any other musical current that strikes their interest. Roney’s finale concert caps off a festival which is above all a showcase for the thicket of jazz musicians who live in the Hudson Valley. A sizable crowd of jazz performers choose to live here and commute to the Big Apple, and well beyond, for gigs. Hence the jazz nickname for the Hudson Valley: “New York City’s 6th jazz borough.” The Hudson Valley Jazz Festival’s

We get this bargain thanks to a donation from the Advisors Capital Management firm.

Jason Miles had a close association with Davis, via collaborations on the seminal jazzrock-world fusion albums Tutu, Music from Siesta, and Amandla.

Art Addresses Trauma The anti-rape movement began almost 40 years ago with the artwork of Suzanne Lacy. Her installation performance, Three Weeks in May, exposed the reported rapes in Los Angeles in 1977. Lacy and artists of that period such as Yoko Ono, Carolee Schneemann, Judy Chicago, Miriam Schapiro, and Ana Mendieta - to name just a few - understood that the violence of rape is not confined to a specific culture, region or country, or to particular groups of women within a society. “The United Nations recently reported that up to 70 per cent of women experience violence in their lifetime, with 1 in 5 specifically experiencing rape.” Over 80% of women who are victimized experience significant impacts such as PTSD, injury (42%) and missed time at work or school (28%). The psychological and emotional impact of rape spreads across generations harming families and communities. Now, more than ever, our nation needs a strong network of rape crisis centers to lead communities in prevention work and to support survivors. However, in the past year, rape crisis centers have experienced a major loss in funding through a combination of local, state and federal cuts.

Self-portraits have probably been around since the first caveman saw his reflection in a stream and tried to recreate it on a wall. The genre of the self-portrait was born in the Renaissance. Ever since then, self-portraits have been one of the most popular and fascinating genres of art. Like all representations of our faces, selfies provide hints about the artists’ character and identity, as well as physical appearance. Viewing the world through the eyes of the Masters can enhance our experience. Much less time has been spent learning about the Masters by studying how they viewed themselves. The Selfies of the Masters exhibit, sponsored by the Barryville Area Arts Association, includes eight representations of self, arranged chronologically from a controversial self-portrait by Albrecht Dürer in 1498. And it includes a photo of a controversial selfie being taken by Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt with President Obama in 2014. Local artist John Tomlinson will be on

Composer & visual artist Michael Poast has always been fascinated with the psychological and aesthetic relation between sound and color. In an exhibit at the Karpeles Manuscript Museum, visitors will get to view Poast’s unique notation system fusing the auditory and the visual in fluid shapes and vivid hues. Holding a Masters of Fine Art degree from the City University of New York, Poast is a member of the faculty at Pratt Institute and St. John’s University and has given workshops at Juilliard. He has received many national honors for both his visual art and his music. Among the most innovative visual expressions in contemporary music theory, his work has been presented at avant-garde festivals in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall and the American Museum of the Moving Image, including awards from the Lila Acheson Wallace Fund, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the Queens Council on the Arts, and ASCAP. A recording of Poast’s Color Music Mass, which premiered at St. Peter’s Church in Citicorp’s Classical Concert Series in NYC, will be played at the museum during the exhibition. Meet the artist at the reception on August 7, from 3:00pm-6:00pm. The show runs from August 1-October 31. The Karpeles Museum is located at 94 Broadway, Newburgh. Visit www.karpeles.com

Spotlight On: The Sugar Loaf Guild Sugar Loaf Historical Museum by Bob Fugett The newest addition to the Sugar Loaf Guild website, the Sugar Loaf Historical Museum, displays 50 years of work done by Sugar Loaf resident artists, a half century of handmade artistic products unique to Sugar Loaf and thus unique to Orange County and the Hudson Valley. Context for the artwork is given by insider firsthand accounts that I write from my perspective as a 40 year Sugar Loaf resident artist. Read how the couple who built the Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center got their start by spending weekends in a tiny camper at the back of Romer’s Alley, and how they went on to build a company world renowned for manufacturing top quality stadium and theater lighting, and how they fulfilled a dream. The dream was to host the finest dramatic works, and they began with intimate theatrical performances held in the loft of the Scott’s Meadow red barn. The fulfillment of the dream came by virtue of their construction of the Lycian Centre - which they eventually gifted back to the community - now retitled, The Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center.

Mary’s string of health issues that were followed by the arrival of the precious historic artifact provided the first nudgings; but the Sugar Loaf Historical Museum became an absolute necessity for us after two final revelations. The first came when a new artist in town was hungry for history, who knew nothing about the strong collaborative close-knit underground of successful artists in the hamlet (still here by the way), and secondly, another artist who was shocked to learn that the house they own was built by the person who fashioned those three pianos now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Not only were new people unaware of the big picture of what is in Sugar Loaf right now today, they were missing out on the historic foundation and ongoing process that ensures such a unique reality continues to thrive. We thrive because we do. www.SugarLoafGuild.org

The Red Apple Restaurant - open from the 1930s through the 1980s on Route 17 in Southfields - is legendary.

Whispering Pines Bays, with pebbled, seaweedencrusted shores...sand sprouting patches of brick-rust iron, pockmarked with crab and steamer breath-holes. Kettle hole ponds, one of the many mementos from the last glacier’s thump and melt, fed by freshwater springs, bottomless, according to legend. And, of course: The Sea! Once visited you take the smell of the sea with you everywhere, for the rest of your life, the smell of its adornments, the husks of crabs and shellfish and eels. Your feet can feel the sand, fine as talc, scorching at midday and cool at night. Your heels and the balls of your feet are toughened from walking over stones, razor-clams, and burning sand, so that the rest of your life you can walk over broken glass - as you do, as you will. Blue crabs are abundant all along the Jersey coast, in tidal creeks and rivers and in shallow, saltwater bays, from the Hudson River to Delaware Bay. Although most small boats are ideal for reaching crabbing areas, almost any bank, bulkhead, bridge or pier bordering tidal waters can provide excellent crabbing. When crabbing from a boat, it is a good idea to use both hand lines and traps. Use fresh bait. After several hours of dunking, the bait will lose much of its attractant odor and should be replaced

with a fresh piece. Another technique, effective for soft or shedder crabs, is to wade the shallows with a scoop net. This method works only when the water is clear and calm. Crabs can also be scooped from marsh banks and around bridge pilings and bulkheads. One of the best methods for holding your catch is a bushel basket with a lid. Keep the basket in a cool place. Avoid leaving crabs in direct sunlight, especially during summer months. Don’t put crabs in a bucket of water - they will soon use all of the dissolved oxygen and drown. Closed containers and plastic bags will also kill your catch. The following are some of my favorite crab recipes as we all know August is crab season!

James’ layered and distinctive working method creates a continuous flow of information about pop culture, world politics, and personal experiences and situations. His paintings become ideas pieced together like a visual poem, open for viewer interpretation. James earned his BFA from the University of Texas in Austin, and his MFA from Queens College in 1998. He grew up in San Antonio and Austin, TX. He currently resides in Narrowsburg.
