NIGHT SKY

Perfect temperature This is when it matters

I

’m writing this on Saturday, January 21: one of those rare perfect winter days. My digital outdoor thermometers disagree with each other; the one on my home’s south side says 57 degrees in the shade, while the northern one insists it’s 53. Either way, it feels wonderful out there.

My Significant Other Marcy thinks that 50 degrees is a threshold, and I agree. Air colder than that feels like winter. But at around 50 the world starts feeling pleasant, and forest smells return. That’s also the threshold for insect activity. Their cold-bloodedness prohibits them from moving or flying when it’s chillier than that.

We are lucky to see 50 degrees in late January. These are statistically the year’s coldest few weeks, with a normal high around freezing and normal nightly low around 13 degrees.

Out in Boulder, Colorado, two of the nation’s top climate scientists told me that our region should see its greatest anthropogenic changes during winter nights. Extra atmospheric CO2 should make our lows less low. This seems to be happening.

I’ve been carefully measuring Ulster County temperature since 1972, and it does seem as if we are getting fewer supercold snaps each winter. In West Saugerties and in Willow, I measured negative-26 degrees on two nights long ago. But in the past 20 years, our greatest annual winter cold spells “only” plunged the temperature down to around minus-12 degrees. And this winter we’ve never once gone below zero.

Looking through the telescopes of Overlook Observatory, we observe nothing but extreme temperatures. Our coldest nights are 100 degrees warmer than a typical Martian day. The Moon’s surface broils at 230 degrees, and then drops 400 degrees when the Sun goes down. But paradoxically, the coolest part of the Sun is the brightest part: the glowing gaseous surface or photosphere. That simmers at around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit – around where liquid tungsten starts to boil. As you go farther away from the Sun, its atmosphere or corona sizzles at an inconceivable four million degrees.

Conversely, every shadow in our solar system has temperatures as low as five

MOVIE Inner conict Shyamalan stays entangled in his comicbook roots in Split

M

. Night Shyamalan being a darling of the geeky crowd, none of whose works this reviewer had ever seen – no, not even The Sixth Sense – and his latest opus being a hit with audiences and some critics, I decided that it was high time to check him out.

Turns out that it wasn’t, for reasons that will become progressively more spoilery as this review unspools. If you’re not already a fan, kindly take this as a caveat emptor.

Part of what piqued my curiosity about Split is the way that it’s being marketed: as a Hitchcockian psychological horror flick.

The emphasis is on the psychological, with the antagonist character – spectacularly acted by James McAvoy – being a man with dissociative identity disorder (DID), originally named Kevin, who manifests a couple of dozen different personalities with conflicting agendas. Making such a character the captor of three teenage girls (Anya Taylor-Joy, Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula) in a scary basement seemed to hold promise of complex negotiations that could elevate this movie well above the level of the overpopulated scantily-clad-women-trying-to-escapecrazed-killer subgenre, the way that Room did. Alas, no.

It’s easy to see how the “split personality� trope would open up plenty of tantalizing potential plot turnings for a screenwriter and director. While Shyamalan certainly does not lack for imagination, the direction in which he ultimately decided to take this story is grounded in his attachment to the comic-book genre, not in any particular reverence for the suspense-movie tradition (although Split is peppered with throwaway visual hommages to such classics as Psycho, Wait until Dark, Dressed to Kill and The Silence of the Lambs). And for this viewer, that decision led to a general takeaway of disappointment.

It also means that the movie is highly problematic from the perspective of Hollywood’s propensity to use mental illnesses as a cheap excuse for depictions of sociopathic behavior, perpetuating stigmas that increase life’s already difficult challenges for our relatives, friends and neighbors who suffer from such disorders in the real world. It’s a shame that so many of us still need reminding, but people with mental health issues are no more likely, statistically, to commit violent crimes than anybody else (although if you wanted to make the case that being okay with hurting other people is ipso facto a mental illness in itself, I’d be hard-pressed to refute it).

Still, McAvoy does a splendid job with

The emphasis is on the psychological, with the antagonist character – spectacularly acted by James McAvoy – being a man with dissociative identity disorder (DID), originally named Kevin, who manifests a couple of dozen different personalities with conicting agendas.

his ever-morphing role, as does TaylorJoy as Casey, the resourceful “Last Girl� character who tries to decipher her tormentor’s twisted motivations and beat him at his own game. Odd, watchful, secretive Casey shares many attributes with Thomasin, her impressive breakthrough role in The Witch; let us hope that the talented young actress does not get stuck in a typecasting rut.

Split’s screenplay gives Kevin and Casey child-abuse backstories that align, shown in creepy flashbacks that some viewers will find exploitative or even triggering.

The other two captives are sketchily rendered teen stereotypes, and Richardson makes things worse by flailing her hands way too much in a futile effort to give her character better definition. It doesn’t help that they are forced by one of Kevin’s more threatening personae, Dennis, to shed layers of clothing as their ordeal continues. (There turns out to be a narrative reason why one of the three girls does not, but its reveal does not erase the overall impression of sexist tackiness in the director’s approach.)

Then there’s Kevin’s overdedicated

psychoanalyst, Dr. Fletcher, mouthpiece for the screenwriter’s (scientifically dicey but necessary to his plot) hypothesis that the fixed beliefs of the separate “alters� of people with DID can lead to profound psychosomatic physical mutation, such as one alter developing diabetes while the others do not. The very talented Betty Buckley strives womanfully to bring cat-andmouse suspense and intelligence to a poorly w r i tt e n p a r t , and some of her conversations with Kevin (usually as his bestadjusted, gainfully employed public persona Barry) manage to transcend the expository for the illuminating. But just as we’re finding ourselves becoming engaged in Dr. Fletcher’s exquisitely careful probing, a line will come out of her mouth that no real psychotherapist would ever say, and the viewer’s fragile suspension of disbelief is shattered.

Shyamalan has a reputation as a wildly erratic filmmaker who is capable of flights of creative genius interspersed with all too many equally spectacular nosedives.

In Split the audience gets to experience sequences vividly demonstrating both, and where it fails, the fault is most obviously

in the comic-book quality of the writing.

The most riveting passages involve the least dialogue, relying instead on excellent camerawork – disorienting angles, but no confusing shakycam – to ratchet up the tension. The director is also known for his out-of-nowhere plot twists, and the one at the very end of this movie is both a clunker in its verbal execution and utterly mystifying to those who have not already seen his 2000 hit Unbreakable.

Split, as it turns out, is not a psychological thriller at all, but a sequel and a prequel: a supervillain origin story that forms the middle third of a trilogy. You might watch it with enjoyment solely on the basis of McAvoy’s bravura performance, if you’re a neophyte; but I wouldn’t advise using it as I tried to do – as an entry point into M. Night Shyamalan’s imaginary universe. – Frances Marion Platt

You get the feeling that Donna the Buffalo – a band that has been splitting the difference among Americana, global groove and jam rock and singer/songwriter for well over 20 years – has developed a special relationship with the venues and audiences of the mid-Hudson Valley. You also get the feeling that these full-time residents of the tour bus have developed that same special relationship with just about every region of the US, so tireless their itinerary, so faithful their fanbase.

Still fronted by the two songwriting singers and players, Jeb Puryear (vocals, electric guitar) and multi-instrumentalist Tara Nevins (vocals, guitar, fiddle, accordion, washboard), and sporting a new crowdsourced tour bus, the American institution that is Donna the Buffalo rolls through the Towne Crier Café in Beacon on Friday, January 27 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $30.

Jimmy Eppard’s Hobo Jungle plays Rosendale Café on Saturday

“Eppard” is a bit of a holy name in this region, thanks, in recent years, to the big load of nationally registering music made by the dazzling guitarist and songwriter Joey Eppard and his band 3, and by drummer/composer Josh Eppard in various projects including Coheed & Cambria and Weerd Science. But the scion, of course, is father Jimmy Eppard: an ace guitarist and guitar expert and a masterful musician’s musician whose name has been spoken with respect around here for many decades.

The elder Eppard has finally assembled a band to play his own music, and it is a doozy of heavy hitters, including the virtuoso bassist Charlie Kniceley, keyboardist Jimmy Atlee and drummer Tom Buffee. They’ve claimed the name Hobo Jungle, and they’ll be performing in the warm and acoustically sweet confines of the Rosendale Café on Saturday, January 28 at 8 p.m. Admission costs $10.

Feel the Burns on Saturday at Mohonk

Consider, if you will, the humble chicken wing. Once it was scorned as barely edible, barely above the level of culinary undesirability occupied by the tail-stub known variously as the rudder, Pope’s nose or parson’s nose.

Offering more bones, skin and fat than meat, chicken wings were regarded by many cooks as fit for nothing but making stock.

Then, in the 1960s, along came Teressa Bellissimo of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, deep-frying wings, dousing them in a vinegary hot sauce and serving them as a free hors d’oeuvre with celery sticks and bleu cheese dip. The rest is history: The spicy, crunchy snack caught on, and before long every town in America had its own recipe for “Buffalo wings.” Entire fast-food chains are now devoted to the dish, though the sauce has become barely distinguishable from standard-issue barbecued chicken.

It was only a matter of time before competitive wing cook-offs began to appear. Our regional version, the Hudson Valley Wingfest, has already been around for a decade. It marks its tenth anniversary on Saturday evening, January 28 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.

Those who are houseguests for the weekend will enjoy “a complete

immersion into the history, art, culture and cuisine of Scotland,” including a packed roster of traditional music and dance performances. There’s a ceilidh, bagpiping, a kiltmaking demonstration, a Celtic Art Workshop, a presentation from a Highland Games champion and a class that teaches basic phrases in Scots Gaelic.

But if you’re not prepared to shell out the kind of cash required to stay at the resort overnight, you still have a chance to attend the Saturday-evening events for $69.75. For an additional $60, you can arrive at 5 p.m. for a Scotch WhiskyTasting. Distributor Michael Mednikoff of Empire Merchants North will share his knowledge while attendees sample whiskies from Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Highland Park, Monkey Shoulder, Macallan and Lagavulin.

Dinner follows the tasting session, and at 7 p.m. the Dining Room will play host to the most solemn business of a Burns Night: the ritual piping-in of the haggis.

After the procession, accompanied by the Schenectady Pipe Band Ensemble, Henry Lloyd Hamilton III will sing the praises of the noble oatmeal-and-sheepinnards pudding by reciting Robert Burns’ “Address to a Haggis.” Typically, additional poetry by Burns follows, while the stout of heart and constitution actually consume the traditional Scottish dish.

At 9 p.m., your package continues with “A Classic Scottish Concert” featuring jigs, reels and strathspeys with the Castle Point Scottish Country Dancers, Shot of Scotch, Highland Oasis and the Schenectady Pipe Band Ensemble. The concert is followed by participatory Scottish country dancing in the parlor with the Castle Point Scottish Country Dancers and Elizabeth Buonomo.

Ralph Erenzo and Brian Lee created Tuthilltown Spirits in Gardiner in 2003. Its Hudson Whiskey line, distributed worldwide by William Grant and Sons, includes the well-established Baby Bourbon, Four Grain Bourbon, Single Malt Whiskey, New York Corn Whiskey, Manhattan Rye Whiskey and Maple Cask Rye Whiskey. Erenzo wanted to make smallbatch artisanal vodkas from Ulster County apples, and ended up having to lobby the State Liquor Authority to change its license categories to include farm distilleries (and make the licensing fee more affordable for small operations). Largely due to Erenzo’s efforts, the rules were changed in 2008 – for the first time since the Prohibition Era – and microdistilleries have been popping up like mushrooms after a rainstorm throughout the state ever since.

W

hy should holiday spirits end with the holidays? While vineyard tours seem like more of a summer and autumn pursuit, winter is a great time to explore the Hudson Valley’s burgeoning crop of microdistilleries. A shot of whiskey in a steaming cup of tea or hot cider is a time-honored custom for warming the cockles of one’s heart on a chilly, dismal day, and the prospect of

adding a new bottle to one’s collection of locally produced liquor should serve as stimulus enough to venture out-of-doors this time of year.

The perfect site to begin your voyage of discovery is the place that sparked the trend for farm-based distilleries to make their historic recent comeback in New York State: Tuthilltown Spirits in Gardiner, home of the Hudson Whiskey line and an ever-growing number of other

alcoholic beverages made from locally grown produce. Company founder Ralph Erenzo wanted to make small-batch artisanal vodkas from Ulster County apples, and ended up having to lobby the State Liquor Authority to change its license categories to include farm distilleries (and make the licensing fee more affordable for small operations). Largely due to Erenzo’s efforts, the rules were changed in 2008 – for the first time since the Prohibition Era – and microdistilleries have been popping up like mushrooms after a rainstorm throughout the state ever since.

Tuthilltown Spirits’ operations take place in what were once the rustic outbuildings of an 18th-century waterpowered gristmill on the Shawangunk Kill, with splendid views of the Gunks.

There’s a cozy gift shop and tasting room, open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 12 noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. There, small groups assemble every hour on the hour from noon to 5 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday for guided tours of the facility. “You can either book online, call us or walk in the same day, and we’ll get you on the next tour with open availability,” says tasting room manager Eric Arginsky.

The tours visit each step of the distilling process, from grain bins to bottling, and feature detailed explanations of what’s happening to what product at each stage.

The centerpiece is a massive 540-gallon

still with shiny brass and copper fittings that looks like it’s designed to power a Victorian submarine or airship out of a Jules Verne novel; they had to cut a big hole in the barn roof just to drop it into place. It’s great fun to see up close, and will bring home the true meaning of “small-batch” as you realize that there’s only room for them to make one kind of booze at a time.

Despite the limited scale, Tuthilltown Spirits is constantly tinkering with new product lines. The Hudson Whiskey line, distributed worldwide by William Grant and Sons, includes the well-established Baby Bourbon, Four Grain Bourbon, Single Malt Whiskey, New York Corn Whiskey and Manhattan Rye Whiskey, plus the more recently innovated Maple Cask Rye Whiskey. Last year, both ryes and the Baby Bourbon won Bronze Medals at the American Craft Spirits Awards.

Also in 2016, the Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery was selected for a 2016 Gardiner Small Business Excellence Award in the Tours category. Tastings. com awarded Gold Medals in its vodka competition to Tuthilltown’s Indigenous Fresh Pressed Apple Vodka, Indigenous Empire State Wheat Vodka and Half Moon Orchard Gin. The apple-derived gin also received a rating of 95 on a scale of 100 (“Exceptional”) in the Spirits category of the 2016 Ultimate Beverage Challenge. Introduced in 2013, Half Moon Orchard Gin swept the 2014 Los Angeles

Make mine to go Moto Coffee Machine in Hudson appeals to bikers

T

here’s so much good coffee to be had in the Hudson Valley. Still, the discovery of a new venue is always rewarding – particularly when it’s installed in a multi-use establishment that houses your other passions, too.

Moto Coffee Machine combines expertly brewed or pressed coffee drinks with handcrafted waffle treats and (this writer’s other passion) motorcycles! You can order up a scrumptious egg sandwich, sip your red eye and wander around a well-stocked accessory and gear shop, replete with classic café racers parked here and there on display, all under one roof.

Coffee master Aaron Dibben, one-time Swallow owner, remembers a couple of years back when Antony Katz would drop in for his morning brew. “Antony had a design space down the street, with motorcycles taken apart and beautifully laid out in the front window. I’d joked with him a few times, like, ‘Hey, so, when’re you gonna open up a motorcycle shop?’ He told me about this multi-use space concept, and it went from there. We worked on the layout of the coffee bar and it took a couple of months to put together. We’ve been here for two years now.”

The evolution of Moto Coffee Machine began when Katz, a graphic designer, needed to put his hands to work. The graphics industry was so altered by the digital revolution that a designer no longer had to handle much of anything: no more handing work to a printer or film developer, no more hand-designing. “I’d had a company for 20 years, ten of which was housed in this space. At some point, I realized all that was fallen by the wayside,” he explains. “Even client meetings are being done on Google Hangout now. There’s nothing going on that isn’t on my computer screen, and I was desperate for something to do with my hands.

“I was a mechanic before becoming a graphic designer; I’ve always been a gearhead, always had a motorcycle.

It seemed to make perfect sense for the space. People would come in and talk to me about motorcycles and get excited about the way I was building them. As a designer you have to be very neat, so I’d lay my tools out very neatly. I had this fantasy about a motorcycle shop and having this component that would bring other non-motorcycle people in: coffee.

“In the meantime I met Kate, a chef. And what a perfect complement to good coffee: to have, in that European way, some food. For a year, I wondered how I was going to compete with my friends up the road where I’d buy my coffee every day. Then I realized I could just ask them to close their current location and have them come inhabit part of Moto Coffee Machine. I’d build up the space and all the branding would be mine, but they’d have a really nice space.” It turns out that Katz made this proposal the very day the Dibbens lost their lease.

“We’re a multi-roaster shop, so we change up our menu on a regular basis,” says Dibben. “We’ve been working with 49th Parallel for quite awhile, and Sweet Bloom out of Denver for about six months, and a couple of roasters out of New York City, several others. We rotate which beans we use, always working with a single-origin for our filtered coffee.”

The Coffee Bar is at the front of the shop, and is attached to a food counter area where Kate Darling makes cakes and pastries and pairs waffles with tasty accompaniments, both sweet and savory. Darling went to chef school at the French Culinary Institute, and later wrote a book about her experience. “We decided we would not have an open-flame kitchen here,” she says. “And that presented an interesting challenge for me: cooking without a real kitchen. Everything here is plug-in, all-electric. This is more fun; I enjoy coming up with concepts that are outside of the box. I’m working on Book Two, loosely based on Moto and starting a life together with Antony, blending a family with four kids. Sort of like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, only with children and a kitchen!”

Behind the coffee bar and food counter, a large retail space houses tables and shelves and racks of riding gear. When the buildout was underway, Katz thought about building a ramp or a raising/lowering mechanism out the back door to be able to move motorcycles in and out. “I realized I don’t need to do all that. I can just wheel the motorcycles in through the front door, past all the coffee-drinking people. People kind of love that.

There are specialty lines as well: awardwinning Basement Bitters; a bracingly herbal, unsyrupy crème de cassis made from Hudson Valley-grown blackcurrants; a heavenly cacao liqueur that floats on the tongue like a chocolate cloud. For $15, you can sample a flight of your choice of five Tuthilltown products at the end of your tour – or just take the tour without the tastings for $12. Kids under age 12 can tag along for free. And next Saturday, January 28 from 1 to 5 p.m., there will be a special guest cidery on hand: Fishkill-based Pitchfork Hard Cider’s team will be at Tuthilltown offering free tastings.

"As a designer you have to be very neat, so I’d lay my tools out very neatly," explains Katz. "I had this fantasy about a motorcycle shop and having this component that would bring other non-motorcycle people in: coffee."

“The bikes I work on are only the bikes that are in the space on the floor. We have a mechanic who will work on customer bikes, but not in this space. I’m basically building motorcycles out of vintage wrecks. My favorite bike to work on is Moto Guzzi, and there are very few parts available. You do end up fabricating a lot of parts.”

An avid motorcyclist, Katz had stopped riding when he moved to New York City from the UK. “I had a 1967 Cadillac convertible instead. It was so great; it would take up the whole block. I had this luck: I was able to park it wherever I went.” He has shared his passion for riding with his children. “When we bought the building in Hudson, I spent a lot of time with my eldest, who is now 11. I realized after a couple of years that I really needed something just for me. I found a Moto Guzzi on eBay that was in terrible condition, and I restored it. Now I ride every day, through the winter. My children ride motorcycles, and I built a little motocross track. It’s really awesome, riding with your children.”

Katz says he is not interested in opening other locations and doesn’t have a longrange plan for Moto Coffee Machine. “I do want to add value to the community.

Hopefully, we can start running seminars, workshops for basic maintenance that riders ought to know: how to change the oil or the tire, and what chain maintenance means. A lot of people don’t know these things. What I want to do, in a very warm and supportive environment, is to teach them. I want to continue expanding the motorcycle parts a bit. And the food – we want to expand the food.”

Moto Coffee Machine is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. most days. It’s located at 357 Warren Street in Hudson; for more info, call (518) 822-8232, or visit www.facebook. com/the-coffee-bar-at-moto-coffee-machine-136590018224.

STAGE We all live in Grover’s Corners Our Town at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck

K

icking off its “Pulitzer Series” of four plays exemplifying the Golden Age of American drama, this weekend and next, the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck will stage one of the most beloved works of 20th-century theater: Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece, Our Town. It opens on January 27 and runs through February 5, with performances beginning at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 3 p.m. on Sundays.

Though set in the small community of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, the play is traditionally staged with minimal props and scenery to emphasize its theme of the universality of human experience.

“While Wilder’s observations about who we are and what matters most are still as profound and as true today as when he first put pen to paper in 1938, the world of Our Town has changed,” says director Patrick McGriff. “Our production strives to capture what our town is today by reflecting our city and our lives.”

A more diverse cast than is usual for the

CALM Treasures of lasting value that will change your life – forever. That’s what you’ll find at Mirabai, or perhaps what will find you.

T

he spring of 2017 marks the centennial of the graduation of one of Vassar College’s most illustrious alumnae: Edna St. Vincent Millay, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923. Vassar is celebrating the milestone with the installation of “Edna St. Vincent Millay: Treasures from Steepletop” in the Thompson Memorial Library and the Art Library, opening this week and running through mid-June.

Curated by Millay Society vice president Mark O’Berski, the exhibition brings artifacts from Steepletop, the museum in Austerlitz in Columbia County that was Millay’s country retreat for the last 25 years of her life. Organized by season, the show features candid photos of the Jazz Age poet’s Bohemian life at Steepletop, excerpts from her letters, firstedition books and poems. Also featured are numerous personal items, including Millay’s traveling typewriter, her hunting rifle, china and crystal and jewelry.

The centennial exhibition opens on Wednesday, January 25 and runs through June 11. Admission is free; but if you need an additional incentive to pay a visit to the Vassar campus, you might also want to check out this year’s annual Krieger

nstitutions of higher learning are oft-criticized for focusing too much on keeping alive the intellectual and legacies of dead white males. Since 2003, America’s oldest degree-granting educational institution for women, Vassar College, has been fighting that label with an annual festival dedicated to exploring and celebrating the arts of the 20th and 21st centuries. It’s called Modfest, and it brings together students, faculty members and outside artists (such as Pulitzer Prizewinning composers Yehudi Wyner, Steve Reich and David del Tredici) for a week-and-a-half of residencies, performances and exhibitions, all free and open to the general public.

This year’s Modfest – the 15th annual – honors the retirements of its co-founders, Adene and Richard Wilson, with a special concert of contemporary compositions by Vassar faculty members at the Skinner Hall of Music, on Saturday, January 28 at 8 p.m. But the uncontested headliner for the festival will be “An Afternoon with Audra McDonald,” wrapping things up on Sunday, February 5 at 3 p.m. at Skinner Hall. Online reservations are required to attend this performance by, and conversation with, the celebrated soprano and social activist. Known primarily for her triumphant portrayal of Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, McDonald has won six Tony Awards, two Grammys and an Emmy, and received the National Medal of Arts this past September. Vassar Department of Film professor Mia Mask will interview the Broadway star onstage following her recital.

“Raising Voices” is the theme of Modfest 2017, and anyone who was energized by the politicized acceptance speech delivered

by Vassar alumna Meryl Streep at the recent Golden Globes Awards may want to check out the programs focusing on that theme. Two exhibitions, “Engage! The Artist’s Voice” and “The World after January 20, 2017,” will anchor the series. “These exhibitions reflect the perspectives of faculty, students, and staff across campus in response to recent events,” says Tom Pacio, Modfest co-director and interdisciplinary arts coordinator.

Running at the Old Bookstore in the College Center from January 26 to February 5, “Engage! The Artist’s Voice” is an exhibit of historical and contemporary printed works of protest, vision and social engagement by artists for the greater good.

It features works from 1945 to the present, highlighting such national and global issues as World War II, the Civil Rights movement, environmental sustainability and economic equality. “The World after January 20, 2017: Works by Contemporary Artists and Poets” opens at the College Center’s Palmer Gallery with a 5 p.m. reception on Thursday, February 2 and will remain on view beyond the official end of Modfest, until February 16. It will feature poetry, political cartoons, documentary photography, drawings and paintings by Gerardo Castro, Monica D. Church, Michaela Coplen, Judith Nichols, Peter Steiner, Virginia Lavado, Sam Vernon and others that address, reflect and comment on what the first 100 days of the Trump presidency might mean.

Another Modfest highlight will be “Connecting Voices,” a talk by artist Ann Daly about her ongoing collaboration with Spanish musician Álvaro Marcos, a stalwart of the post-Franco Madrid punk scene. Justin Patch and Katherine Hite, professors of Music and Political Science, respectively, at Vassar, will moderate the discussion, beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 2 in the College Center’s Old Bookstore. Additional events will include an Opening Night concert on January 26; “Raising Healing Voices,” a presentation on music therapy on the 27th; a recital by the Vassar Repertory Dance Theatre on February 3; and a Cabaret Night on February 4, among others.

For the full lineup, including venues and start times, or to reserve a seat for the Audra McDonald event, visit www.vassar. edu. The Vassar College campus is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

Lecture, coming up on February 9. “An Evening with Zadie Smith” will feature the highly influential, award-winning British author reading from recent works, which include the acclaimed novel Swing Time.

Smith will also be interviewed by Vassar professor of English Amitava Kumar; a question-and-answer session and booksigning will follow.

“An Evening with Zadie Smith” begins

at 8 p.m. on Thursday, February 9 on the second floor of the Students’ Building.

This event is also free and open to the public, but it’s a good idea to arrive early if you want to find parking that’s not a long walk away from the lecture site. That makes spending some time perusing the Millay exhibition beforehand all the more tempting. The Vassar campus is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

ART Neonostalgia “Americana” opens this weekend at Hudson’s Carrie Haddad Gallery

D

escribed as “an exhibit that stages concrete and abstract symbols of American values,” the Carrie Haddad Gallery’s new exhibit titled “Americana” opens on January 25 and runs through March 12, with an artists’ reception from 5 to 7 p.m. this Saturday, January 28. The word “Americana” used to refer mostly to artworks, utilitarian objects and collectibles exemplifying various periods and locales in American history; but the Haddad show takes the term to a metalevel, spotlighting more contemporary works that seek to mine the collective cultural memory of Americans, often by replicating familiar images in different media.

For example, Linda Newman Boughton turns the iconic Civil War photography of Mathew Brady into life-sized drawings of soldiers using ballpoint pen and a touch of whimsy. Frank Litto’s The Great American Wheelworks series of threedimensional wall sculptures depicts photorealistic configurations of wooden wagon wheels using wood veneer and faux metal finishes. John Cross revives the Outsider Art tradition of handwhittled wooden figurines and brings it up to the present with images ranging from Abe Lincoln to Willie Nelson. Harry

Fortunately, February is the month when the Shawangunk Ridge Biodiversity Partnership (SRBP) comes to our rescue with “Secrets of the Shawangunks,” an annual series of public lectures on conservation topics and biodiversity in our region. It runs on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9:30 p.m., with the first three lectures being hosted by SUNY-New Paltz and the final one by SUNY-Ulster. Admission is free and open to all.

If you’ve ever enjoyed discovering evidence of the last Ice Age’s visit to our neck of the woods, in the form of rock outcrops sporting glossy glacial polishing or parallel striations, you’ll get a kick out of the lecture scheduled for February 2 in Room 102 of the Lecture Center.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Mercurial disposition When high-tech thermometers get balky, resetting them is no simple matter

“Y

ou never miss your water till the well runs dry,” goes the line from the old blues tune. In the same vein, you (or I, at least) never miss the thermometer till it breaks. I never realized how tied I was to the temperature until the number boxes on my digital thermometer started reading “- - - - -.”

Thermometers have come a long way since the liquid-in-glass ones that served so well for so many years, mounted outside so many kitchen windows or on porch posts. You had to get close to read them, and they picked up some heat from proximity to the house.

After that came indoor/outdoor ones, using the same principle but with two glass columns. The “outdoor” column is fed by a thin tube threaded through a small hole in a window frame and ending with a sensing bulb. These thermometers let you essentially get your eyes further from the sensing portion.

Then came digital versions of both types of liquid-in-glass thermometers. Digital thermometers are just the ticket for those of us who like to know if the temperature is 31.4 degrees or 32.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Not that the sensors of these thermometers were necessarily accurate to 0.1 degree (as stated, sometimes, in the fine print), but they did give a feeling of exactitude.

Still, all these thermometers measure temperatures in or near the house – unless you mounted one on a post out in the garden and kept running out to check the temperature, or you had a liquid-in-glass thermometer that registered the minimum and maximum temperatures since the last reading. As you might guess, I have one – have had it for more than 30 years, in fact. Two sliding iron indicators are pushed by the expanding fluid, with one indicator staying where it is pushed to its high point, the other to its low point. High and low temperatures are indicated for the period since the sliders were last reset by being slid back with a magnet against the fluid. Very elegant and very accurate, but you still have to run out to the garden to read the present temperature.

Enter wireless, digital minimum/maximum thermometers: the ultimate in temperature readiness. With this thermometer (which, as you might have again guessed, I own), I can read present and extreme temperatures from the warmth of my bedroom – except when they stop working. Then you really miss knowing the temperature to within a tenth of a degree.

Epilogue: Yes, I checked and changed the batteries. Customer support, last time I got through to them, tells me that I have to use fresh batteries, not the rechargeable ones. And I have to take all the batteries out for 15 minutes. Then, while the outdoor and indoor sensors are three to five feet apart, I first have to put in the outdoor sensor’s batteries, followed by the indoor sensor’s batteries,

in some of the Hudson Valley’s parks will want to hear Melissa Gillmer, head zookeeper at the Trailside Museum and Zoo at Bear Mountain State Park, talk about “Porcupines in Our Presence” on February 16.

“Secrets of the Shawangunks” wraps up for 2017 at the College Lounge, Room 203, in Vanderlyn Hall on SUNY-Ulster’s Stone Ridge Campus with “Fire on the Ridge” on February 23. This discussion of wildfires in the Gunks and the Biodiversity Partnership’s ongoing campaign to prevent them via managed burns will be led by Gabe Chapin, forest ecologist with the Nature Conservancy, and Hank Alicandri, director of the Sam’s Point Area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve.

probably shouldn’t admit this, but some plants suffer much neglect in my hands. My aloe, for example, has occasionally gone a whole year without a drop of water.

Hoya, also known as wax plant or Hindu rope plant, is another of my neglected plants. This plant is about 25 years old and has sat in the same pot in the same location for the past 15 years. The pot is only three inches square, dwarfed by the three-foot-long “Hindu rope”: a single stem along which grow thick green involuted leaves.

The hoya sits on a west-facing windowsill of a tower window in my house, and the lanky stem can drip down another two to three feet before it has got to be shortened to keep from being bumped by anybody beneath it. One reason why the plant gets watered so infrequently is because watering involves pulling out and climbing a ladder stairway to get to and gingerly water the relatively small pot.

Another reason for the neglect is because hoya is a succulent whose thick fleshy leaves store water. The plant is more likely to die from too much water than too little.

Although I occasionally glance admiringly at the stem tracing down the wall, there are time periods when hoya grabs my attention: when it flowers. The flowers arise in sprays of about a dozen pinkish tubular blossoms, each looking as if has been sculpted from wax. Not only are these flowers pretty, but they also emit the most delicious aroma of chocolate.

I’m not sure when or why my hoya flowers. Failure to bloom can be attributed to, according to reliable sources, “overwatering, over-fertilization, insufficient sunlight or plant immaturity.” Ha! My guess is that a period of consistent-but-not-excessive, watering following the dry spells would coax the plant to flower. Now might be the time to start watering, because – perhaps in celebration of lengthening days – the plant has, after all these years, sprouted a new shoot.

I’ll go and water the hoya right this minute.

Bird walk at Thorn Preserve in Woodstock The Woodstock Land Conservancy’s First Saturdays on the Trail series of outings doesn’t slack just because the cold weather has come. In fact, winter’s fallen foliage makes it easier to spot wildlife, and snow-covered or mucky ground yields a bounty of evidence for trackers.

When it comes to avian life-forms, our region has plenty of interesting species that winter over. You’re practically guaranteed to observe some of them next Saturday morning if you join veteran birder Mark DeDea, president of the John Burroughs Natural History Society, at Woodstock’s Thorn Preserve. This parcel allows for easy inspection with level walking. The open meadow may attract

“What I love best about roller derby is the sense of community and the supportive environment.

There are so many websites out there that tell different “Real Estate Market Trends” in the upcoming year from the previous year comparisons. The one site I can depend on is NYSAR (NY State Association of Realtors). They had an article which stated that NY State had almost one percent more foreclosure filings in 2016 than in 2015’s numbers. That means; NY State ranked 13 out of the 50 states for foreclosures. It is not an easy process, to say the least, but my agents at Win Morrison Realty are well versed with the different types and processes of foreclosures. Give us a call and get informed!
