M

odfest, Vassar College’s annual campuswide extravaganza celebrating the contemporary arts, will be getting underway this week, with a fortnight’s worth of exhibits and performances spotlighting recent works by students, alumni and faculty. All sorts of interesting events will be on offer from January 28 to February 12, from a master class in cabaret technique and a lecture on the value of music programs in prisons to a show of 20th-century Caribbean works-on-paper and a live demonstration of the art of literary translation.

Many of them offer free admission. You can get the whole Modfest schedule in detail at http://arts.vassar.edu.

Kicking off the whole shebang is the opening of the latest big exhibition at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center: “American Stories 1800-1950,” a sweeping

exploration of American portraits, landscapes and narrative paintings from the museum’s permanent collection. Many of them are rarely exhibited, and some come from the large private collection of Elias Lyman Magoon that formed the Founding Collection for the Art Center when Vassar bought more than 300 paintings from Magoon in 1864.

Curated by Lehman Loeb director James Mundy, “American Stories” consists of 59 works, organized in three sections: People, Places and Moments. The show includes works by William H. Beard, Milton Bellin, William Merritt Chase, John Singleton Copley, Minna Citron, Andrew Michael Dasburg, Arthur B. Davies, Arthur Dove, Charles Loring Elliott, Sanford Gifford, Charles Webster Hawthorne, Robert Henri, Stefan Hirsch, George Inness, Samuel Isham, Ernest Lawson, Tompkins Matteson, Georgia O’Keeffe, Maxfield

ALMANAC WEEKLY

MOVIE Lacking animation Anomalisa is a very different cinematic treatment of sameness

C

harlie Kaufman has a well-earned reputation as one of the most genuinely original and inventive of contemporary screenwriters. Works like Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Adaptation took big risks in their explorations of the vagaries of human consciousness, perception and creativity; the results paid rich (if weird) rewards to audiences and influenced a lot of other filmmakers. But Kaufman’s first directorial effort, Synecdoche, New York (2008), proved less successful, and he suddenly found himself a less-bankable Hollywood property. His latest onscreen opus, the rather grim animated feature Anomalisa, required Kickstarter crowdfunding to see the light of day.

Adapted from Kaufman’s stage play of the same name, Anomalisa is a true “art film,� garnering rapt critical notices, the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and a slew of other awards and nominations. But whether it will prove appealing enough to the average moviegoer to attract better-heeled backers for Kaufman’s next project seems uncertain. Risky and audacious and provocative it is, to be sure; accessible it is not.

The first thing to know about Anomalisa, if you’re a parent of young children, is that it’s not the sort of animated movie intended for them. There’s a long, explicit sex scene right in the middle; the tone is largely downbeat, sometimes downright scary; and the animation technique itself could make your skin crawl. If the kind of dead-eyed motion-capture used in movies like The Polar Express gives you the willies, you may find this ten times worse.

The characters in Anomalisa are puppets, given life (of sorts) via stopmotion photography. Imagine the charmingly silly clay figures used in Wallace & Gromit cartoons coated with a fine fuzzy nap and then injected with Botox all over to make them devoid of expression. They have interchangeable faces, with a crudely visible seam crossing the temples. This is deliberate, because the blurring of personal identity is precisely what this tale is about – insofar as one may invoke precision in attempting to decipher a Charlie Kaufman script. The guessing game is meant to be part of the fun, of course.

The film’s protagonist, Michael Stone (David Thewlis), is a celebrity motivational speaker and author of best-selling selfhelp books for human resources and service industry professionals, packed with platitudes about connecting with each customer as an individual. But Michael can’t seem to practice what he preaches.

Every single person he encounters en route to a speaking engagement in Cincinnati looks and sounds alike to him (all, in fact, are voiced by the same actor, Tom Noonan). He feels alienated from his wife and son, and fantasizes obsessively about an old flame whom he abandoned abruptly for reasons that he can no longer remember clearly.

Once ensconced in a cookie-cutter hotel room, Michael begins to experience what appear to be psychotic episodes in which his face falls off. Then he overhears a

Anomalisa's protagonist, Michael Stone (David Thewlis), is a celebrity motivational speaker and author of best-selling self-help books for human resources and service industry professionals, packed with platitudes about connecting with each customer as an individual. But Michael can’t seem to practice what he preaches.

female voice in the corridor that sounds like nobody else and gives him a new lease on life. It’s Lisa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a nice but otherwise-unremarkable young woman, plagued with low self-esteem, who’s in town to attend his talk. Truly animated for the first time in our brief acquaintance, Michael is entranced by her expressive voice and almost instantly smitten. He impulsively dubs her Anomalisa because she is, to him in that moment, a true anomaly.

Naturally, things go awry. Once he has won her heart, Lisa’s uniqueness quickly fades into that ubiquitous, monotonous Noonan voice, and Michael’s nightmarish paranoid visions recur. Is Anomalisa meant to be a Kafkaesque totalitarian dystopia, a satire on homogenized modern society in which every hotel room and service industry representative looks the same, or merely an excursion into a mind coming unhinged?

This being a Kaufman vehicle, the answer could be any or all of the above.

But the biggest clue to the author’s intent lies, perhaps, in his naming of the story’s central location as the Fregoli Hotel. The “Fregoli delusion� is a rare delusional misidentification syndrome, possibly caused by brain lesions, in which someone believes that different people are the same person in disguise. Are audiences meant to conclude that Michael literally suffers from this neurological disorder? Or is the story more symbolic than that?

There might be simpler explanations for what’s going down in Anomalisa.

Viewers who have experienced romantic involvement with individuals classified, in the terminology of Attachment Theory, as “Avoidant types� – who tend to idealize potential and past partners, but perceive only the faults of current ones – might recognize Michael as someone they’ve

known, waving the sorts of red flags that they’ve painfully learned to avoid. He’s certainly a sad case. Only Lisa’s ability to walk away without any further harm to her already-low expectations can be seen as a hopeful note in this exquisitely realized but ultimately rather creepy, unsettling and not-very-pleasurable film.

ing. Aesthetic talent and achievement – at the end of the day, it seems to me, after years of observing, setting jealousies and defenses as far aside as possible – are pretty much fully decoupled from kinesthetic head-starts.

And aesthetic achievement is the only kind that matters. Granted, those neurotypes who are simply hard-wired for music enjoy more and better opportunities to develop genuine voice and vision, but there are no givens. The road to the Big Easy is littered with the living corpses of blues prodigies wondering why the hell everyone seems to prefer Neil Young.

What makes Alexander so utterly alarming and paradigm-exploding is that his field is jazz, his command of its deep harmonic language is advanced and fluid. He is so prodigious between the ears that you barely even notice the precocious fingers. To date Alexander has released one record: a collection of standards called, a bit too demonstratively, My Favorite Things. If, in your predictive imagination, you are a hearing a proofof-concept set of tidy jazz études with an emphasis on fleet fingers and “burnin’ jazz,” played rote with some ace hiredgun sidepeople, sorry. I am afraid that the youngster is a far greater threat. The record begins with a stunning, sonorous, mostly solo reading of Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” that is…well, heavy and beautiful no matter who’s playing it.

It is so pretty, saccharine-free and delicately impressionistic in its internal harmony, I had a backwards prodigy reaction. Instead of his age adding to my stunned pleasure, it nearly killed it.

I found myself wishing that it had been played by a 35-year-old established cat and not by a kid whose age is his story.

I wouldn’t want the “great for his age” clause attached to this lovely and complete

music – nor would I want the pleasure that I took in it tainted by my laymanlevel doubts about whether this preteen is operating at the extreme bleeding edge of jazz harmonic invention.

He is not, and I hope he never is. Like a lot of people, I prefer older mainstream jazz to newer mainstream jazz for the same reasons I prefer Brahms to Schoenberg.

And like the well-irked Branford Marsalis, I am irked by the insiders’ game that jazz has become, as the science of chord substitution and reharmonization spins further and further away from the irrecoverable tune. My Favorite Things glows with a true sense of song and with a complex euphony that may be a few decades behind the curve, but that’s just another way of calling it a voice straight from jazz’s best decades – no, not Fats Waller or Jelly Roll Morton, but George Russell, Bill Evans, Monk and the other great colorists of the mature jazz of the ’50s and ’60s.

I would hate to see this genuine young lama pressured by his own genre to abandon an exquisite and profound natural voice and enter jazz’s troubled, insular narrative: the story of a continuous and scientific harmonic advancement toward no audience at all. So let’s not do that, shall we?

Joey Alexander is blowing up to the extent that anything blows up in this community of cognoscenti: shows selling out and moving to bigger venues, effusions and pronouncements from the jazz press.

Alexander’s January 30 Woodstock show, originally scheduled at the Community Center, has been moved to the Woodstock Playhouse. For Jazzstock – one of many local, regional and national collectives selflessly devoted to the safe handling of the great jazz tradition and the cultivation of its uncertain future – this must be the most heartening expansive development

Uptown Boogaloo Craft Beer Festival this Saturday in Kingston

C

ombining beer, food and rock as if they belonged together, the Uptown Boogaloo Craft Beer Festival takes over the giant back room at BSP in Kingston on Saturday, January 30 from 2 until 6 p.m. More than 60 craft brews will be represented, as well as cuisine from Hudson Valley staples such as Diego’s Taquería, Yum Yum Noodles and Fleisher’s Craft Butchery. Your music needs will be met by a generous bill of local notables including the luminous singer/songwriter Adrien Reju, the Britpop-influenced indie rock of Bearquilt and the swing blues of La Famiglia. When the Boogaloo draws to a close, you may need to chill awhile: too much tacos. Good thing London Souls and The Grape and the Grain are playing an after-party show at the front-room lounge at BSO starting at 8 p.m.

This event is co-presented by Radio Woodstock and Swim King. Tickets are capped at 600, and early bird tickets have sold fast. Tickets cost $50 and $95 and are available at http://uptownboogaloo.com. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston.

whom could be called staples of the jam canon. This year’s twin headliners are contemporaries: two of the most important and enduring forces in the American rockscape of the last 20 years.

Wilco’s red herring of a debut AM came out in 1995 and hardly seemed much of a departure from Jeff Tweedy’s previous band Uncle Tupelo’s pioneering alt/roots style. In fact, out of the gate, Son Volt looked for all the world like the Uncle Tupelo derivative that was going to do some damage. Little did we know that Tweedy would quickly go on to become the Brian Wilson (maybe more the Van Dyke Parks) of an ambitious, wide-ranging Baroque roots style that has trickled down through all of indie and roots-rock, erasing contradictions as it goes.

Jeff himself has played the festival before with the family band Tweedy. This time, he’ll have Nels and Glenn and the rest of the guys in tow. Wilco is no great departure or revelation for the Mountain Jam aesthetic; just a victory (and a curious one at that, as Wilco’s own hand-curated Solid Sound Festival in the Berkshires can be said to be competing with Mountain Jam for your festival dollar).

Jam-rock’s assimilation of its psychedelic stepchild, techno- and electrogroove, often with a hip hop component, is old news. All these festivals end with light shows and dance parties in the a.m. hours.

And if you’re looking for the godfather of that cultural development, look no further than Beck, whose globalized beatnik/ folk/hop spiel and cultural sampling shenanigans cut a template in the mid’90s that has been worn to dust ever since, and yet never matched precisely. Wilco

Mighty Diamonds headline Bob Marley tribute at Bearsville The centrality and influence of Bob Marley can sometimes make reggae seem like a o n e - a c t show in the same way that Astor Piazzolla has come to dominate the repertoire of tango. The vocal group the Mighty Diamonds, who will be paying tribute to Marley at the Bearsville Theater on Saturday, January 30 at 9 p.m., have been on the scene since the late ’60s, plying a slick Motowninspired take on reggae that has worn well over nearly 50 years of recordmaking. Their 1982 “Pass the Kutchie” was covered to massive international success (as “Pass the Dutchie”) by Musical Youth. The original trio of singers is still intact: a rarity in any genre.

It is always good fun to “read” the initial Mountain Jam lineup announcement culturally, asking whether this year’s overall tenor is more imperial (building new bridges and bidding for new audiences, and if so, which ones?) or more a consolidation and affirmation of core values and core audiences – and if so, which ones? Blues? Folk? Groove? Psych?

While the answer is almost always “both,” the intrigue and the interest are in the details.

and Beck also share another distinction: tireless productivity and stylistic restlessness. The mainstage at Mountain Jam this year is truly to be blessed by two of the great unifiers of American music.

The next names on the bill are exactly the correctives that you would expect: festival hosts Gov’t Mule, Jam royalty Umphry’s McGee and the handsome roots-rock stalwarts the Avett Brothers.

Deep down the page, however, it gets quite interesting and tense again, as the electroacts share space with the banjos and the blues guitarists. Especially notable is the inclusion of the suddenly hip Australian songwriter Courtney Barnett, whose visceral and vibrant stream of conscious rockers reminds me of Lou Reed in streetrock mode. And like Reed, Barnett is a pretty viable poet as well. Bringing an extra-wide smile to my face is the booking of the Northampton, Massachusetts scene’s young siren-pop masters And the Kids, whose frequent, numinous performances locally at BSP have helped them build a large local following, which has also led to extensive airplay on WDST. Expect more coverage of the 12th annual Mountain Jam as the date approaches.

Overall, this may be the most impressive lineup in years: one that reflects the unifying and adventurous spirit of its twin headliners. Check out http:// mountainjam.com for the full initial lineup announcement and for all your ticketing particulars.

Dan Tepfer fronts ICE at Bard on Friday Because he wears so many figurative hats and jackets, I find myself writing happily about this Dan Tepfer character every few months. While the name has been on the serious music map for a while, he’s just rolling into his mid-30s now and peaking as an artist: multiply peaking as an internationally decorated, progressive jazz pianist and leader; a concert music crossover figure as both performer and composer; and a dogma-free, willing collaborator and avant-gardist who has fashioned his path jamming with Lee Konitz as with Bach and with Brooklyn’s finest algorithmic cell phone apps. He is also, one can credibly argue, an astrophysicist.

And because he moves through all these different chambers with no apparent pretense, no stilt and no real change of posture, diction or attire, Tepfer gracefully

embodies and signifies the new, stable jazz identity. In both its preservationist and progressive modes, jazz is conservatory art now, high-bar; grant- and fellowshipdriven; grueling in its disciplines, apprenticeships and imprimaturs; and good for you whether you like it or not. If your first reaction is, “No way, bro. Jazz transgresses, jazz flouts convention, jazz shocks and jazz rocks,” the point that you are missing is just off the periphery on your right: Classical music does too, bro.

The serious-music world, especially in the Boroughs, welcomes organic talents from rock as well, treating Sufjan Stevens, Dave Longstreth, Dan Deacon and the Dessner brothers, among many others, as composers worthy of BAM time.

But let’s call it what it is: The turf that classical freely shares with indie rock is almost exclusively that narrow scrap of the tradition called Minimalism. To rock ears, Minimalism is a kind of cerebral that makes sense, and that makes for excellent trances as well.

It might be an exaggeration to call Minimalism a populist movement, but among its many radical agencies, it certainly was an olive branch extended toward the popular audience that serious music squandered with the exceeding difficulty of the early 20th century. But from the late ‘50s through the ‘70s, when Reich, Riley, Glass, John Cage, LaMonte Young and the rest were saying some very important things about rhythm and space using elemental harmony, think about where jazz was: quite busy squandering its popular audience with the exceeding difficulty of bop ‘n’ beyond.

For Dan Tepfer – with a set of ears that may best be described as astrophysical – the entire book is open, all the traditions in play. When Tepfer does things that look outrageous on paper – like alternating fully credible, concert-grade performances of each of Bach’s 30 Goldberg Variations with Modernist improvisations on its themes (not even jazz, really; just free flights of 21st-century music) – what

is really shocking about it is how fluid, natural and unself-conscious it is as it goes down. There is little to no revolutionary rhetoric required to justify any crazy thing that Tepfer does. He is a true musical spaceman. Anyone can say, “It’s all music of this galaxy; it’s all one;” only a tiny handful can actually prove it in practice.

Tepfer’s performance at the LUMA Theater at Bard on January 29 (the next in Bard’s fruitful series of co-productions with the formidable jazz incubator known as the Catskill Jazz Factory) finds the pianist collaborating with a detachment of players from the important International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), a serious music collective whose programming almost always involves a conceptual challenge and the pushing of envelopes. This program is titled Acoustic Informatics. Tepfer will use a Yamaha Disklavier digital piano (a real acoustic piano with all kinds of state-of-the-art digital outfitting) in combination with iPhones and iPads in an evening that explores the intersection of live musical improvisation and computer-driven algorithms. If it sounds high on concept but maybe a little stingy on musical inspiration, fear not; it’s Dan Tepfer.

Dan Tepfer and ICE musicians Joshua Rubin on clarinet, Rebekah Heller on bassoon, Alice Teyssier on flute and Ryan Muncy on saxophone, perform Acoustic Informatics at the LUMA Theater at Bard College on Friday, January 29 at 8 p.m.

Tickets cost $25. For tickets and more information, call (845) 758-7900 or visit http://fishercenter.bard.edu/calendar. For more on Dan Tepfer, visit www.dantepfer. com. For more on ICE, visit http://iceorg. org.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Mediterranean midwinter I’m harvesting olives indoors – in January

O

live harvest will begin – and end – here this week. Yes, it’s late. After all, the harvest in Italy was in full swing weeks ago, back in autumn. But this is the Hudson Valley, in New York. What do you expect?

I’m talking about harvesting real olives, not Russian olives (Elaeagnus angustifolia) or autumn olive (E. umbellata), both of which grow extensively in a lot of places, including here – too extensively, according to some people, which is why they’re listed as “invasives” and banned from being planted in some regions. (But their fruits are very tasty, their flowers are very fragrant, their leaves are very ornamental and their roots enrich the soil with nitrogen from the air – all of which garnered them a chapter in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden.)

Present harvest here is of the true olive (Olea europaea), unrelated to the previously mentioned olives.

Temperatures in the Hudson Valley and beyond would spell death to an olive tree, which is cold-hardy to about 14 degrees Fahrenheit; so my tree is planted in a pot, just like my other Mediterraneanclimate plants: fig, pomegranate, feijoa, black mulberry, bay laurel, kumquat and Golden Nugget mandarin (tangerine). I can handle only so many potted small trees, so it’s lucky that my olive doesn’t need a mate to bear fruit; it’s the self-fruitful variety Arbequina. The plant that I got a few years ago from Raintree Nursery (www.raintreenursery.com) started bearing its first season!

Unlike my fig, pomegranate and mulberry, olive is evergreen, so it needs light yearround. Fig and company are in a dark corner of my cold basement, dormant. The olive is in a cool room basking in sunlight from a south-facing window.

Two years ago, after an auspicious start, only one olive remained on the tree in late summer. I think my duck ate it. This past fall, the harvest has increased manifold – to almost a dozen fruits. What with being knocked around when moved indoors and the change in environment, about half that number of fruits now hang from the branches.

I like my olives fully ripe, black, so I have let them hang as long as possible. Some are beginning to dry and shrivel, so it’s time to harvest. Fresh, the fruits are unpalatable, with a bitterness that comes from oleuropein. That bitterness is removed by curing and fermentation using lye, salt and time. I’ve had naturally cured olives that use only the last ingredient, time, and that’s how I’m going to try mine.

Unlike Lee’s fig, pomegranate and mulberry, olive is evergreen, so it needs light year-round.

BSP in Kingston to host free Bowie tribute on Friday

I did not grow up a David Bowie fan, but became one as an adult, when my defenses relaxed and I realized that “style people” like Bowie weren’t just trying to make me feel bad about my appearance and my inhibitions. I never could make “art of self ” in that way and obviously never will, but I recognize it and enjoy it now anyway; and Bowie was unquestionably the best at it, wasn’t he? On the level of influence and current cultural resonance, Bowie’s importance is immune to hyperbole and still on the rise. My 18-yearold son is as crushed by Bowie’s death as I was, as an 18-year-old, on December 8, 1980: the only time that I have ever been crushed by a celebrity passing. 18. 69. Think about that. You can’t buy enduring (expanding) relevance like that, no matter who is backing you.

And he made an awful lot of good music

too, now that I allow it. In fact, I’d have to say that his run in the ’70s is about as good as it gets in rock. But that is hardly it. Blackstar is an immersive trip of a record that was already well on the way to stunning the ears of the world before his death was sprung on us, unsuspected.

(Even his Blackstar sidemen reported being taken completely off guard by the news.)

Bowie was as good as Miles Davis at freshening his sound with fresh new talent, and for Blackstar he recruited his players from one particular New York City scene (from one band, pretty much). Drummer Mark Giuliana is arguably the star of this stunning and challenging record, his skittering, hybrid electro playing essential in sustaining and animating the album’s long and patient song forms. If you haven’t listened to Blackstar yet – either because it is too painful or because you believe that old rock stars may still be great at playing their classics live but can’t make important new records anymore – make a vow to get around to it eventually.

In the meantime, BSP – our most Bowiesque local venue – presents “New York’s A Go-Go: A Tribute to the Life + Work of David Bowie” on Friday, January 29. Members of Frankie and His Fingers, Battle Ave., Connor Kennedy, SPIV U:K, the Black Horse Riders, the Hudson Valley Drag Brigade, Upstate Rubdown and many more will perform Bowie’s music.

Fashion, of course, is part of the party as well. Audience members are encouraged to come as their Bowie character, be it Ziggy or a Thin White Duke, Major Tom or Goblin King. There will be a costume contest at 11 p.m. with prizes. Admission to this event is free. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Lee likes his olives fully ripe, black. Some are beginning to dry and shrivel, so it’s time to harvest.

A few years ago, I almost got rid of my olive tree. After all, it wasn’t making a dent in my olive consumption. Then someone pointed out that the olive, for thousands of years, has been a symbol of peace. That alone should be enough reason to keep the tree, and it was.

Also, the tree is pretty and long-lived – thousands of years, as documented by radiocarbon dating.

In preparation for the upcoming gardening season, I brought pails of frozen potting soil, compost and soil in from the garage/barn. Soon I’ll need to trim back roots and repot some of those Mediterranean-climate fruits, including my Arbequina olive. Not my Meiwa kumquat, though, some of whose green fruits are showing hints of yellow, foreshadowing ripening to begin over the next couple of months. Trimming back its roots would cause branches to let go of fruits.

Potting soil will also be needed for the first seeds of the season, to be sown indoors in the next week or so.

I will now divulge my recipe for potting soil. The main ingredients are garden soil, compost, peat moss and perlite. I thoroughly mix together equal volumes of these four ingredients, then add a cup of soybean or alfalfa meal (for extra nitrogen). If I’m feeling generous, I also throw in half a cup or so of kelp meal (for micronutrients, although it’s probably superfluous with the panoply of nutrients from the compost); perhaps also half a cup of dolomitic limestone (for alkalinity, calcium and magnesium – also probably superfluous with the buffering action and richness of the compost). Using wooden frames onto which I’ve stapled half-inch hardware cloth, I sift together the mixture.

Ten gallons of potting soil should carry me through winter, until the compost piles and the soil have defrosted.

TASTE Bread Alone rising Following the Leaders to their new facility in Lake Katrine

WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

T

he story of Bread Alone Bakery has become a local legend. When Dan Leader built his first firebrick oven in a small building in Boiceville back in 1983, he just wanted to produce an honest loaf like the naturally fermented artisan breads that he’d seen, smelled and tasted while touring bakeries in Paris. His training as a chef influenced his decision to use organically grown stoneground flours and to keep the processes true to these traditional loaves, and soon Ulster County residents were consuming sourdough and pain au levain and baguettes and whole-wheat peasant breads, just like their counterparts in France.

Leader’s success involved the opening of an on-site café and two more stores in Rhinebeck and Woodstock, along with a side career as an author of cookbooks: Bread Alone (with Judith Blahnik), Local Breads: Sourdough and Whole-Grain Recipes from Europe’s Best Artisan Bakers (with Lauren Chattman) and Panini Express (also with Chattman).

But sharing bread history and traditional methods and recipes in these tomes did

not take customers away from his retail establishments. If anything, educating people in the essentials of breadmaking – from growing and milling whole grains to transforming flour into crusty packages of the Earth’s goodness – has given them the taste for the company’s products. Bread Alone provides, distributing its products to people living in the Berkshires, New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey.

Last September, Leader, with his longtime partner Sharon Burns-Leader and their son Nels, opened a new café in their state-of-the art headquarters on Ulster Avenue in Lake Katrine, a project that was a long time in the making. “We moved the bakery to the Town of Ulster two years ago,” says Burns-Leader.

“Having a place attached to the bakery is very exciting for us. What we do is different from what anyone else is doing – and it’s been our way since we started baking organic bread in wood-fired brick ovens. For us, ‘right livelihood’ – having a healthy business and a safe, clean environment – all that’s normal. We really take it seriously that we’re making food for people, and we’re all about food safety; we’ve been ahead of that curve for so long.”

Burns-Leader refers to moving the

bakery from Boiceville to Lake Katrine as “a herculean feat.” “We never stopped baking. No one didn’t get a delivery. We moved from a 7,000-square-foot building to this 26,000-square-foot building. We learned a lot about HVAC and mechanicals and electrical systems. We brought in this really sophisticated equipment from Germany and the Netherlands.” I ask about how the term “artisan” relates to their product with all the high-tech equipment, such as thermal oil-burning ovens that have taken the place of the brick ovens, offering a more controllable baking environment. “The bread requires skilled, trained people to make sure the loaves come out right,” Burns-Leader explains. “You could never get a machine to do that. And all of our pastries are done by hand. It’s not a cookie-cutter process.”

The company uses local butter and milk in its products, and continues to source organic flours and grains. “We’re working collectively with Cornell and the Farm Hub to help figure out how to grow grains regionally. It’s a long-range goal. We use a mill in Pennsylvania called Small Valley for our spelt flour. They just sent me some einkorn, and I made a loaf of bread out of it over the weekend at home.

us rolling that into our commercial use, too. Einkorn is a stable, easy-to-harvest grain. We are not doctors, but a lot of our customers who do have gluten sensitivity are able to digest our organic spelt bread.

Once you use the enzymes to break down the proteins during breadmaking and long fermentation – which we specialize in – the enzymes help to both flavor the bread and develop the wheat.”

“The new café is a springboard for us.

We’re a little more mature now, and have a more mature aesthetic sense. So we’re proud of how this project has come out, and also the method by which it was done.

We found a designer, and the designer – born and raised in Brooklyn – found us at the same time. Joseph Foglia [of Joseph Designs in West Shokan] understands the reason we’re here in the Hudson Valley, and he helped guide the three of us to consensus to build a beautiful space that reflects where we’ve been and where we’re going. When we go into our other cafés to renovate, we’ll bring some of the design elements of this space – never with a cookie-cutter concept, but we’ve got some cool ideas that we’ll use to renovate our other cafés.”

I ask about the rumor that Bread Alone might expand into Saratoga. “Dan always has a million ideas, but we’re not really sure,” she says. “We need to settle in here. It’s a lot different to manage four stores. And we have to settle into our development before we expand – to Cold Spring, Troy? Lots of people are asking us to consider their areas; we have to do what works for us. I think our stores all have a certain hands-on warmth. That’s part of what our customers respond to.

And it’s not magic, but there’s a system to it. We have to figure out how to expand and not lose that. It’s important to manage growth.”

Burns-Leader says that when they found the building on Route 9W, they had no idea that the area was set for further development, such as the new Holiday Inn and other retail spots that have recently arrived on the scene. “We bought this building before any of that was being talked about. We’re so excited about it. We were in Boiceville forever, where nothing is happening – but thank God there’s nothing happening up there!

That’s what we love about it, and that’s why I still live up there. But the Town of Ulster has been so great: the building inspector, the supervisor – everyone has been really helpful.”

With backing from the US Department of Agriculture for the new facility, the company now operates in four locations with about 140 employees, a dozen trucks and five distributors. The new café offers a full line of the company’s wellknown breads, such as certified-organic French sourdough, nine mixed-grain and raisin-and-walnut levain, plus pastries, sandwiches and salads, and has indoor and outdoor seating.

NIGHT SKY

That striking planet alignment It’s this week

T

his past week, the major media carried headlines about a lineup of planets.

They urged everyone to watch the sky just before dawn.

Except they all got it wrong. It seems no one knowledgeable about astronomy fact-checked it. Sure, in theory, all five naked-eye planets formed a long line.

In actuality, only four were visible. You see, Mercury always starts its morning sky apparitions at its dimmest, and very low. But no one on Earth can glimpse a secondmagnitude “star” buried in thick low horizon air, especially while the glow of dawn paints the sky. Nobody saw it. Experienced astronomers using binoculars or a small telescope might have found that innermost planet, but no one else.

That changes this week. Mercury is steadily growing higher up while brightening explosively. It’s the only planet that undergoes a thousandfold change in its brightness.

Now it’s there and now you can easily find it, and now is when that “string of pearls” is visible.

Such an alignment of all five planets happens every so often, but this time it’s between 6:30 and 6:45 a.m. during the statistically coldest time of year. Also, two of the planets are low in the east, which requires a flat horizon. Some folks perched on hilltops do have such an eastern vista, but most of us don’t.

In truth, a similar lineup of all the planets will unfold in the middle of this coming August. That may possibly be a bit warmer than now. Better still, it will then occur in the evening, at a convenient hour. So you won’t be blamed for deciding to sit this one out.

Okay, with all of that legal disclaimer type stuff out of the way, let’s say you really want to observe this predawn display, which will last for the next week. Step outdoors at 6:30 a.m., and get to a place with a perfectly flat view of the east, just as the first traces of dawn touch the eastern sky. Dazzling Venus is just over the eastern horizon. Mercury,

celebrated someone who’s been working for us for 23 years. And that’s common; it’s not an anomaly. There’s a reason people are staying. What we do – it’s something that has a higher purpose. We’re feeding people. There’s nothing more intimate than that.”

“Every day I feel lucky. A long time ago we said we’re not gonna do ourselves or anybody else any service unless we’re financially stable. Even if we want to help somebody or give away something, we have to make sure we’re okay, and from there we can give. And our long-term commitment to organics is important.

We’re not the cool kid on the block any more, and we know that. It’s the age-old

Boiceville facility will be used to develop new product lines and milling operations.

In the café, a large wall of glass facing a grassy embankment near the highway and an open-view kitchen and coffee bar invite customers to grab a cup and a pastry to go – or to sit with a steaming bowl of soup and a sandwich. Burns-Leader talks about the idea of fencing in a playground area next to the outdoor patio where kids can play safely while Moms enjoy their repast.

“Our local customers want a cappuccino that’s really good. Our staff has been well-trained, and we take the attitude that we want them to be employees for a long time – to grow and learn whatever aspect of the business they’re interested in: hospitality, finance, marketing or even if they just want to drive.

far less luminous, dangles below Venus. Brilliant Jupiter frames the right side of this alignment, all the way in the southwest. Going leftward from Jupiter takes you first to Mars and then Saturn. There’s also a couple of bright stars sprinkled below the line: blue Spica and orange Antares. They add nice color, but could confuse beginners trying to pick out the planets.

One trick is that if you close one eye and extend a finger at arm’s length to block out the object, a star blinks out abruptly, while a planet gets extinguished a bit more slowly.

Also, planets tend not to twinkle.

Extra guidance arrives with the Moon. It will hover just above Mars on February 1, above Saturn on February 3 and forms a stunning triangle with Mercury and Venus on February 6: a true don’t-miss event just before dawn. That’s the ace number-one primo morning to perform this exercise.

I ask if they ever imagined, way back in 1983, the long-lasting success that they’d have in the business. “Dan and I were never such great planners, but when opportunity presented itself, we grabbed it and made the most of it. And you know, you always want to do your best every day.

The bread doesn’t make itself. We inspire our people to do their best every day.”

Dress in layers, and I definitely advise bringing a camera for the absolutely adorable goat kid + kid candid shots that you’re going to want to have, a change of clothes, shoes and plastic bags to store soiled footwear et cetera, so you can swap out the gear that you wore inside of the barn.

Edgwick Farm is located at 348 Angola Road in Cornwall. For reservations or more information, e-mail edgwickfarm@ gmail.com.

Comic Christian Finnegan at Market Market in Rosendale on Saturday Market Market in Rosendale will host standup comic Christian Finnegan on Saturday, January 30 at 10 p.m. Finnegan is perhaps bestknown as one of the panelists on VH1’s Best Week Ever and as Chad, the only white roommate in the infamous

“Mad Real World” sketch of Chappelle’s Show. He appeared on the TBS sitcom Are We There Yet? and in VH1’s I Love the 2000s. Finnegan’s comedy special The Fun Part was released on Netflix in April 2014. For more information on the comic, visit www.christianfinnegan.com.

The cover charge is $15, cash only. Market Market will take dinner reservations for this event. Reservations are for diners only. Walk-ins will be accommodated as much as possible.

Saturday Night Bluegrass Band at Rosendale Café Rosendale calls to the Saturday Night Bluegrass Band, shocking it out of its complacent hideaway in Woodstock on a fine winter’s night.

The band will gather its wherewithal and reconvene at 8 p.m. this Saturday, January 30 at the Rosendale Café, located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale, to perform for its modest masses of fans and other curiosity-seekers.

Twice or so per year the journey is made, for more than a decade now, for the notso-hardworking band that still has no albums, tee-shirts, hats or posters. The

members philosophize that it’s because they make up a playing, performing collective, rather than a merchandising machine; but deep down, they’re not so sure.

After the passing last October of beloved banjo legend Bill Keith, the band has been performing with the great Eric Weissberg – he of “Dueling Banjos” fame – in the five-string chair. He joins with Brian Hollander on guitar, Dobro and vocals; Tim Kapeluck on mandolin and vocals; Geoff Harden on bass and vocals; and the amazing Guy “Fooch” Fischetti on fiddle and pedal steel guitar. The sweet voice of Francine Hollander will also be featured in her special guest appearance.

As befits its name, some straight-ahead bluegrass favorites get played, some fine fast picking, some ragtime, blues, pop tunes, fiddle tunes, sweet three- and four-part country harmonies, old faves and anything else that it can wrap around and through its collective brain.

Robbie Burns Supper on Friday in Rhinecliff I guess that everybody wanted to see the guest of honor, the haggis, piped in with proper pomp and ceremony, but not many were Qactually bold enough to taste the savory pudding made from minced sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, oatmeal, onion and suet boiled in a sheep’s stomach. So if you attend the Rhinecliff Hotel’s eighth annual Robbie Burns Supper this Friday, you’ll be served a Highland beef stew as the main course instead.

The side dishes, however, will conform to Burns Night tradition: cock-a-leekie (chicken and leek) soup, neeps and tatties (mashed turnips and potatoes) and lemon curd shortbread for dessert. Skullsplitter Ale will be on tap, and whiskeys (or whiskies, as the Scots would have it) from Tuthilltown Spirits will be available for tasting and toasting.

But mostly, a Burns Supper is less about Scottish cuisine than it is a celebration of the birthday, life and art of the legendary Bard of Ayrshire. The Entrance of the Haggis is but the centerpiece of a full

evening’s worth of recitations of Robert Burns’s immortal poetry, songs and storytelling. The whisky toasts are as essential a component of the ceremonies as the requisite number of times that the cups of wine must be raised at a Passover Seder; male participants tweak the fairer sex with the tongue-in-cheek “Toast of the Lassies,� only to get their own fondly sarcastic dressing-down with the “Lassies’ Response.�

The Burns Supper at the Rhinecliff will be hosted by storyteller Jonathan Kruk, who will share some anecdotes from the

rakish Romantic poet’s short-but-eventful life (1759-1796). Master piper Jeremy Freeman will perform, Elaine Rachlin will lead the singing and Neil Roberts will demonstrate some Highland sworddancing. Participants are encouraged to bring songs, poems and stories by, about and in the spirit of Robert Burns. At the end, everybody joins in singing “Auld Lang Syne,� in a context where it makes a lot more sense than on New Year’s Eve. Burns Night at the Rhinecliff this year runs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, January 29, and reservations for

the popular event are strongly advised.

Admission costs $39.95 per person, $29.95 for bar seating. A special overnight room rate of $149 is offered for those who want to indulge freely in Highland spirits without falling off the mountainside on the way home. Make your reservations now by calling (845) 876-0590, e-mailing reception@therhinecliff.com or visiting www.therhinecliff.com. The Rhinecliff Hotel is located at 4 Grinnell Street in Rhinecliff. – Frances Marion Platt

Search all the MLS properties in our region at www.WinMorrisonRealty.com I have a friend who is the Personnel Director at an area company.

She is filled with great stories about how gilding the lily seems to be a job seeker’s birthright.

Here are a few doozies, where the applicant claimed ‌ to be a former CEO of the company to which he was applying‌ to be fluent in two languages—one of which was pig Latin‌ to be a Nobel Prize winner‌ to have worked in a jail when he was really in there serving time‌ he was fired “on accident.â€? Stretching the truth in search of a job is never a good idea.

The same applies to home mor tgages!

But ask us for a good local Wi lender‌ nM
