IN ITALY, MOORE FINDS THAT BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS routinely get eight weeks of vacation per year, two-hour lunch breaks and five months of maternity leave, and that factory-owners consider this largesse a good investment in their employees’ health.

Wherever he goes, interviewing factory workers, schoolteachers, law enforcement officers, business owners, politicians and students, Moore encounters people shaking their heads in disbelief that Americans are willing to live without the advantages that they take for granted.

The good war Michael Moore mines the rest of the Western world’s best ideas in Where to Invade Next

F

or folks on or near the right wing of the political spectrum, the concept of “American Exceptionalism” is an article of faith. Tea Party members and Fox News pundits feel free to lambaste American politicians as incarnations of evil, or at least of Big Government; but be prepared to duck and cover if you dare to suggest to them that some other country does something – anything, really – better than the US does. Even Donald Trump gets on the fightin’ side of some of this crowd when he proposes to “make America great again”: The “again” bit doesn’t sit so well with them.

Left-leaning documentarian Michael Moore, who seems adept at maintaining a goofy good humor in spite of being a popular lightning rod for opprobrium from the right-wing media, has a somewhat different take on what constitutes patriotism. For him, it’s about citizen activism – about individuals doing whatever they can to make America a better place, rather than boasting that it’s already the best.

In his 2007 film Sicko, Moore contrasted the national health care systems of four other countries with cases of individuals denied health care in the US and examined the role of the

insurance and pharmaceutical industries in creating a market system where there is little incentive besides profit to enhance public health. His latest effort, Where to Invade Next, takes that inquiry several steps further, using interviews in eight other countries to examine a wide variety of ways in which their residents enjoy a superior quality of life.

Proceeding from a fantasy premise in which the Joint Chiefs of Staff admit that they keep losing wars and beg Moore for his advice on what foreign forays might have a greater guarantee of success, the filmmaker “volunteers” to mount one-man invasions of several nations to plant his flag and carry home examples of their best ideas. Wherever he goes, interviewing factory workers, schoolteachers, law enforcement officers, business owners, politicians and students, Moore encounters people shaking their heads in disbelief that Americans are willing to live without the advantages that they take for granted.

In Italy, he finds that blue-collar workers routinely get eight weeks of vacation per year, two-hour lunch breaks and five months of maternity leave, and that factory-owners consider this largesse a good investment in their employees’ health. Children in French public

schools are fed gourmet meals and turn up their noses in revulsion at pictures of American cafeteria pizza, chicken nuggets and Mystery Meat. He visits Norwegian prisons where inmates receive strikingly humane treatment focused on rehabilitation, resulting in an enviably low rate of recidivism.

Finnish educators explain how they turned their failing school system into the top one in the entire world by eliminating nearly all homework and standardized testing. Portugal’s drug czar tells Moore how rates of addiction and crime have plummeted in the 15 years since the country decriminalized possession of all drugs.

In Slovenia, everyone can get a free college education – even students from America. Germans confront and acknowledge the dark side of their history

on a daily basis and use it as a motivator to be better world citizens. Free health care for women in Tunisia includes abortion on demand, and when asked about gay marriage, a conservative Muslim politician says that the government has no business in anyone’s bedroom. And in Iceland, we meet the world’s first female elected head of state, former president Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, and learned how a bank owned and run primarily by women was the only one not to topple in the country’s 2008 financial crisis.

In each of these interviews, Moore plays the devil’s advocate, asking people if they wouldn’t rather live in the US instead, and most look at him like he’s nuts. And indeed, as they accumulate onscreen, the perqs of living in these alternative systems can’t fail to whet the envy of even a diehard American Exceptionalist. But Moore doesn’t leave it at that. He points out – with help from many of his interview subjects – that pretty much all of these

Pretty much all of these “great ideas” that Moore the Invader comes to “steal” are in fact principles that got their start in America, but have somehow been swept aside.

“great ideas” that Moore the Invader comes to “steal” are in fact principles that got their start in America, but have somehow been swept aside. He concludes that reclaiming them here might not be such an impossible goal to achieve, after all.

Though at times it addresses some dark topics, Where to Invade Next is by far the sunniest, most upbeat of Michael Moore’s confrontational oeuvre, liberally laced with satirical humor that is more tongue-in-cheek than laugh-out-loud.

Though unabashedly an example of advocacy journalism, it doesn’t come across as terribly polemical. It’s entirely possible to imagine Trump supporters and Libertarians cheering the screen right alongside those viewers who are feeling the Bern. I recommend that you check it out – and take along your grouchy old Archie Bunker uncle. An enlightening conversation on the trip home from the movie theater is just about guaranteed.

Game of hearts Rosendale Theatre screens London revival of Les Liaisons Dangereuses Sunday & Tuesday

This Sunday afternoon and again on Tuesday evening, the Rosendale Theatre presents the latest in its series of screenings of classic works captured live on the British stage via National Theatre from London. This time it’s the Donmar Warehouse’s revival of Christopher Hampton’s acclaimed 1985 adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

The original epistolary novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, first published in 1782, caused a sensation with its frankly

amoral depiction of the decadence of the French aristocracy just prior to the Revolution. It unfolds the story of two exlovers, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, who goad each other into a series of seductions for the purposes of revenge. They make a cynical game of it all, leaving a wreck of hearts, lives and marriages in their wake. Hampton’s tense, erotic stage version was a huge hit both in London and on Broadway and was the basis of the 1988 Stephen Frears movie Dangerous Liaisons.

The new production is directed by Josie Rourke and stars Michelle Dockery, Janet McTeer and Dominic West. Screenings at the Rosendale Theatre, located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale, begin at 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 28 and at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1. Tickets cost $12 general admission, $10 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members. For more info, call (845) 6588989 or visit www.rosendaletheatre. org. For more about the production, see http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org. uk/productions/ntlout14-les-liaisonsdangereuses.

Among the many historical distinctions that can be claimed by Vassar College is the fact that the first professor on its faculty was also America’s first female professional astronomer, Maria Mitchell. The Observatory that she established on the Vassar campus still stands, a shrine of pilgrimage for students of astronomy.

Not only did Mitchell become internationally famous for discovering a comet in 1847, but she was also a pioneer of astrophotography and the first scientist to photograph the Sun on a daily basis.

At Vassar, she trained her students to pour hand-prepared emulsions over glass plates to record astronomical events more precisely than the eye could see.

A new exhibition at Vassar’s Thompson Memorial Library, on view through June 12, unveils never-before-seen prints of Mitchell’s astrophotography of sunspots.

NATURE GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Manipulating microclimates Ways to make your garden friendlier for plants outside their comfort zone

M

ark Twain wrote that “Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” I’m going to step up to the plate and do something about it – not the climate, but the microclimate. “Microclimate” is the very local weather. And I do mean “very local”: as, for example, right around a particular plant.

Different microclimates exist all around my property – and yours. Near the south wall of my brick house, for example, winter low temperatures don’t plummet nearly as low as they do, say, 30 feet away from the wall.

The bricks are very good at absorbing the sun’s heat, then letting it slowly ooze out after nightfall. Near that wall is where I’m planning to plant a Kadota fig tree now dormant in my basement. (Come late fall, after harvest, I’ll dig up the tree with a good rootball and return it to winter quarters in the basement.)

On the other side of my house, where sunlight can’t fall in winter, days and nights are colder than the general temperatures, and remain colder from spring through fall. Near that north wall, then, would be a good place to plant an apricot or peach tree to delay the unfolding of its blossoms, which otherwise open so early that they often succumb to subsequent spring frosts. Dead blossoms mean no crop for that season.

Apricots and peaches, like most fruits, need sunlight to fuel the most flavorful fruits.

Although areas near the north wall are shaded – and hence cooler – in winter, from spring through early fall the sun wraps enough around the sky from the northeast to northwest corners to cast its light there.

Other influences on microclimate include fences, land sloping in various directions, paved areas, plant or built windbreaks and changes in elevation.

Much of what I have planted, including many fruit plants, is nowhere near fences or paving, and my land is mostly flat. It is lowland, in a valley; and cold air, which is heavier than warm air, collects in the low spots to threaten the blossoms on my fruit plants with late killing frosts.

Mark Twain notwithstanding, I’m going to try doing something about the weather – the microclimate, in this case – on plants nowhere near walls, fences or paving.

Enter Surround, the trademark name for a special formulation of kaolin clay. This

YEARS DIVISIBLE BY FOUR ARE LEAP YEARS. But if a year is also divisible by 100, it skips the Leap Year. Thus, 1700 and 1800 and 1900 did not have a February 29. (Hang in there.)

product was developed about 30 years ago, mostly as a nontoxic way to thwart insect pests.

It’s especially useful for controlling plum curculio, a pest of plums, peaches, apples and some other fruits; curculio isn’t easily controlled by other organic methods.

Kaolin is white, so when a sufficiently thick coating of Surround is built up on branches, they appear white. Old Sol’s rays just bounce off white surfaces – the surfaces in this case being the buds of fruit plants. So the buds stay cooler, delaying bloom, hopefully until after threat of frost has past.

I’ve already given the plant a couple of coats of Surround, and they already have a sundrenched, gray-cast, Mediterranean look to MARK TWAIN BY EDWARD PENFIELD them. A couple more coats will make the visual effect more dramatic, both to me and Old Sol, and will get a jump on curculio control.

Downstairs, in the basement, things are not as quiescent as hoped. That’s where the figs, pomegranates and mulberries are spending winter, the cool (45 degrees Fahrenheit) temperature holding back growth – or so I thought.

One plant, Pakistan mulberry, has decided to awaken. This mulberry is a species of white mulberry (Morus alba) that differs markedly from the white mulberries that you see here. Pakistan is only about as cold-hardy as fig (which is why they share winter quarters in my basement) and bears a very delicious, dark-purple fruit up to three inches long!

Pakistan evidently has a low chill requirement – that is, it does not take much cold for it to feel like winter has ended so it can begin growing. Different plants have different requirements for the number of hours of chilling – which is temperatures between about 30 and 45 degrees – to which they need to be exposed before they can begin growth for the season.

I may have to move the budding plant into the greenhouse where it really is spring, with temperatures at least into the 70s on this sunny day.

The naturally curious will use different clues to learn to identify common tree species even without leaves – since buds and tree structure can often be easier to see in winter! Oak or maple? Ash or hickory? Striped, red or sugar maple?

Contact trip leader O’Dowd at tkodowd@gmail.com with questions regarding the tree walk, and meet at 10 a.m. on Burroughs Drive at the path into Slabsides.

NIGHT SKY

Leap Year weirdness It’s bringing us the earliest spring of our lives

T

ime is something that we humans do perfectly. Atomic clocks divide each second into 9,192,631,770 parts, and the super-accurate time is then transmitted to anyone with a phone – (303) 499-7111 – or Web access (www.time. gov) or a GPS or a smartphone.

The calendar is nearly as perfect. Its precision dangles in our faces this Monday. We’ve got a February 29 – the rarest birthday – with consequences that will affect everyone.

But first, back up to the year 2000. That February, for the first time in four centuries, a year divisible by 100 did not skip the Leap Year – meaning, there was a February 29 that year.

So what? Well, remember how our Gregorian calendar works? Years divisible by four are Leap Years. But if a year is also divisible by 100, it skips the Leap Year.

Thus, 1700 and 1800 and 1900 did not have a February 29. (Hang in there.)

But our calendar system decrees that if th a year is divisible by 400, it will be a Leap Year, so 2000 was the first century-year with a February 29 since Galileo grew a beard. The consequence of that little move will affect us during this next month.

You see, equinoxes and solstices happen earlier and earlier as each century wears on. We can’t let that continue, so that skip of the Leap Year in 1700 and 1800 and 1900 creates a sudden “jump” of one day. Bingo: Those “first days of summers” and the other seasons get pushed back a day, which is all part of the plan. Generally, equinoxes and solstices happen on the 21st (except the Autumnal Equinox, which occurs on September 23).

But in 2000, omitting the usual century Leap Year prevented the calendar from jumping back. Solstices and equinoxes instead kept creeping earlier. In case you haven’t noticed, spring began on March 21 when you were little – but it has been falling on the 20th for some years now. Well, in a few weeks, it’ll happen on March 19 for most US time zones. Later this century, it’ll happen on the 19th every year.

Our punchline? This will be the earliest spring since 1896!

It all happens because the number of days in a year isn’t even. A year lasts 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. Call it 365.2422 days. If only the year were 11 minutes longer, or 365.25 days, we could simply add one day every fourth year and take care of the fraction forever.

But because the Earth spins a hair less than 365 ¼ times per year, we must sometimes omit that extra once-every-four-years day, and that’s what creates all this fussing. Skip three Leap Years every four centuries and you’re accurate to within one day in about 3,300 years. (We even deal with that little glitch by skipping February 29 in the year 4,000.)

A calendar that doesn’t accurately divide days into the year starts going weirdly out

In case you haven’t noticed, spring began on March 21 when you were little – but it has been falling on the 20 for some years now.

Well, in a few weeks, it’ll happen on March 19

of sync. Seasons start happening at odd times. In the previous Julian Calendar (where all century years were leap years), the annual 11-minute error accumulated to where equinoxes were happening around March 11. The Easter Bunny was hopping around in the snow! The present calendar takes care of everything.

So celebrate this Leap Day on February 29. It’s part of the system that’s about to make 2016 have the earliest seasons of our entire lives.

MUSIC Vision quest SUNY-New Paltz premieres Nkeiru Okoye opera We’ve G ot Our Eye on You

W

hen composer and SUNY-New Paltz faculty member Nkeiru Okoye hit upon the subject for her second opera We’ve Got Our Eye on You, it struck her as a welcome bit of levity and fun coming after the heavy themes of her acclaimed first opera, Harriet Tubman: When I Crossed that Line to Freedom. “People necessarily think of me as a black woman composer, because I am. I wanted to do something that has nothing to do with that,” she said. She found her story in the most unlikely place: It is based loosely on the myth of Stygian witches, made famous in the popular 1980 film Clash of the Titans.

The story is set in and around a cave inhabited by the Graeae or Gray Sisters, who share a single external eyeball and who occupy themselves by catching, cooking and eating men. Soon Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, arrives to tell the sisters to expect a visit from Perseus, on his quest to discover Medusa. From there, the story explores themes of sexuality, with resonances both classical and current.

When Okoye began working with librettist David Cote, she insisted that, while the subject matter of the piece was in some ways racy and risqué, the actual

language should avoid vulgarity and overt sexuality, dealing with its themes in ways more suggestive than explicit. Cote, Okoye says, soon discovered that he very much liked working within those imposed limitations.

We’ve Got Our Eye on You receives its premiere with a workshop production at SUNY-New Paltz in early March, featuring a mostly-student cast under the direction of Susan Einhorn and choir director/conductor Edward Lundergan.

The opera was written with student performers in mind, but Okoye says that the student cast in no way restricted her compositional process. She did write the character of Pythia, however, with a classically trained jazz singer in mind: someone with the extended range that Okoye associates with singers raised in the black church. One purpose of this decision, Okoye argues, is implicitly to promote the racial integration of opera casts. In the current production, guest artist Patricia Eaton appears in the role of Pythia.

World-premiere performances of We’ve Got Our Eye on You will take place on March 1 and 5 at 8 p.m. at the

Julien J. Studley Theatre on the campus of SUNY-New Paltz. A talkback session with the creative team will follow each performance. Tickets for We’ve Got Our Eye on You cost $10 general admission, $6 for seniors aged 62 and over and faculty/ staff and $3 for students. They can be purchased at the door beginning one hour prior to the performance or online at www.newpaltz.edu/music. For additional information call (845) 257-2700.

Raise your voices and join Joseph Jastrab, Ned Leavitt, Robert Bard and Rick Nichols of the Spirit Brothers Band for an uplifting evening of ecstatic, deep, and meditative chanting.

Julie O’Connor

The Wood Brothers’ fifth studio album (with several live sets interspersed), 2015’s Paradise, begins with the song “Singin’ for Strangers.” Over a bawdy, sh*t-kickin’ Harvest-era Neil Young groove, Oliver Wood slathers a seemingly endless stream of wellcrafted puns and double entendres. It is a pretty good summation of what has always been genuine and what has always been goofy about this band. It’s a groove-folk, cosmic-country and thoroughly eccentric brand with surprisingly wide appeal across genre lines. Recorded at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye studio in Nashville, Paradise is the Wood Brothers’ most successful

Sheila Jordan & Cameron Brown join Jazzstock’s Roiger & Menegon in Woodstock

It will be a duo of duos on Saturday, February 27 at 7:30 p.m. when Jazzstock welcomes the legendary and ageless jazz vocalist Sheila Jordan. The 87-year-old Jordan, who once jammed with Charlie Parker and who was the first vocalist ever signed to Blue Note Records, has long been in the habit of performing in a duo with bassist Cameron Brown. Known especially for her creative and memorable approach to interpreting ballads – in full effect on 2015’s Straight Ahead – Jordan is by all accounts at the top of her game and more.

Inspired by Jordan and Brown, regional jazz eminences Teri Roiger and John Menegon have been performing in the same voice-and-bass format for 25 years: longer than Jordan and Brown, it turns out, who first collaborated in 1997. Roiger and Menegon will follow Jordan and Brown’s performance with a set of their own, and join forces for an almost-hardto-imagine quartet at the end of the night.

Tickets cost $30 general admission, $40 for seating in the first two rows, and can be purchased at www.jazzstock.com. The Woodstock Community Center is located at 56 Rock City Road in Woodstock.

Worth the Waits Skeleton Key’s Chris Maxwell to launch solo LP at BSP in Kingston

The New York City band Skeleton Key’s 1997 major-label debut, Fantastic Spikes through Balloon, played out like a proof-of-concept demonstration that the saturated heft and zero-to-60 dynamics of “grunge” could be wed to the junkyard clang and poetic eccentricity associated with the visionary work of Tom Waits in the ’80s and early ’90s. Maybe Primus had already made the point, but there were still plenty of riches to mine there. Waits’s auspices (and specifically the influence of Rain Dogs and Bone Machine) were implicit across the entire album, but writ huge in flickering neon on one song in particular: a wheezy, detuned and disturbed little cabaret waltz called “The Only Useful Word” that sounded like it was trying to sneak its way onto Rain Dogs somewhere between “Tango till They’re Sore” and “Diamonds & Gold.”

The track used Waits’s nowcommonplace tools of retro-Modernist musical alienation – filtered, distant vocals; a broken-toy groove; non-musical found sounds; and bursts of diminished dissonance – to express some clinically

grim anti-sentiments: something about human beings as defective machines, I think. It was a fitting lyrical analogue for the skewed and plinky klutz-waltz sound, but it underscores how difficult it is to be truly like Tom. Waits’s delightfully spooked circus of sounds and styles – part old blues, part Kurt Weill, part ham radio – can be copped easily enough by the clever. But then there’s that stubborn, gritty sentimentality of his, the downtrodden-but-resilient heart croaking amidst the rattle of bones and the rolling of trashcans. That, it turns out, is the hard part.

It’s the part that maybe only comes with age, experience and the purification of intent. Twenty years later, we find one of Skeleton Key’s two songwriters, the Little Rock native Chris Maxwell, wellestablished as a Woodstock resident, a local scenester and a successful commercial producer/composer of the kind that rock ’n’ rollers sometimes grow up to be, if they are serious about the music part of music. He has also just released what is technically his solo debut record (with a big asterisk, for he has been the principal songwriter in a number of band projects). It’s a deftly crafted, multidimensional and musically stunning autobiographical journey called Arkansas Summer.

Arkansas Summer is all wet with poetic pathos, evocations of time and place, compassionate character studies and hard-earned redemptions. It is warm, deep, vulnerable and ultimately affirmative in all the ways that Skeleton Key could be cool, detached and sneering.

Its first track, the Beatles-pretty-butoddly-discomfiting “Strange Shadows,” employs the same kind of vocal filtering and disruptive dissonances that one might find on a Skeleton Key record, but to a diametrically opposite effect. The grainy, ambient smear of the production, the distance of Maxwell’s voice and some queasy pitch-glide effects all manifest the noise and warped distortions of time and memory that the singer must cross through to establish contact with his distant past – specifically with one figure: a father who abandoned a family, it seems.

The strange shadows of the title describe the constant, peripheral presence of the absent in the singer’s life.

Themes of absence, missing persons and incompletion hang over the first movement of this conceptually unified record, in the exquisite “Imaginary Man” (a duet with Maxwell’s frequent collaborator Ambrosia Parsley), in the inverted-savior-myth, electric ragtime rocker “Have You Ever Killed Yourself?” and the comic barnyard blues stomp of “Mess of Things,” which might remind those in the know of “All the Things I’ve Lost”: one of Maxwell’s best tunes as a member of Skeleton Key, and a song that foreshadowed where the songwriter might

be headed with the luggage of his past.

The journey gradually moves toward discovery and contact, but in strange and elliptical ways, the strangest of which is the weirdly Western and Arabesque diversion of the second-act-opening “Impossible Knot,” in which the singer establishes a surreal connection with a more remote and foreign ancestral past, a Middle Eastern forefather whose nomadic narrative points to an inherited and possibly genetic wanderlust.

Compositionally, Maxwell’s sweet spot balances his fluency with extended pop harmony (Beatles, Nilsson, Newman) with some vestigial art moves from his days on the faculty of the hard rock department of the New York avant-garde. There is very little combative or alienating about Arkansas Summer (except maybe the bizarre chord changes of the electropop anomaly “Away We Go”). Maxwell’s mature singing voice (which falls solidly on the Lennon/Tweedy spectrum) is both comfortable and vulnerable. The production and arrangement are graceful and natural. They take you to the strangest places gently. And the conceptual dimension of the record is agreeably optional. You can enjoy Arkansas Summer as an autobiographical linked narrative of sorts, or just as a really keen collection of expansive roots/pop gems that might give Wilco a little kick in the pants, many of which are going to sound simply awesome on WFUV. It’s really a masterpiece either way.

Chris Maxwell and a cast of local notables celebrate the release of Arkansas Summer with a show at BSP in Kingston on Friday, March 4 at 8 p.m. Admission costs $10 at the door. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com.

Ornette: Made in America (1985). The documentary examines the life, career and influence of “free jazz” innovator Ornette Coleman within the framework of a symphony concert event in the saxophone maverick’s hometown, Fort Worth, Texas in 1983.

But you don’t necessarily need to be an avid fan of the cool, abstract, nonmelodic form of jazz that Coleman pioneered to find this a worthwhile evening at the cinema. That’s because the film is a rare collaboration between Coleman and a woman who pushed the boundaries and vocabularies of another artform: avant-garde filmmaker Shirley Clarke.

“The innovative techniques that director Shirley Clarke…employed in this film very closely parallel the music of the man who is its subject,” wrote one critic.

A quirky, feisty member of the downtown Manhattan indie filmmaker scene of the 1950s and ‘60s, Clarke was a contemporary of Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage, Jonas Mekas and Lionel Rogosin. She started out studying modern dance, switched to experimental filmmaking and became an early exponent of the American wing of the cinéma vérité movement. Probably best-known for her gritty filmic accounts of New York street life, The Cool World (1964) and Portrait of Jason (1967), Clarke had a brief crossover success in Robert Frost: A Lover’s Quarrel with the World, which won the Best Documentary Feature Oscar in 1963, but otherwise strenuously cultivated the persona of an artistic outsider – much like Ornette Coleman.

The Lone Bellow to play Midnight Ramble in Woodstock Full-bodied Americana indierockers the Lone Bellow claim Brooklyn as their home, but they are all transplanted Southerners, making their name in the borough where all bands are bound. Over two records, this band has distinguished itself with a particularly impassioned and grandiose take on gospelized roots-rock.

On their latest, 2015’s Then Came the Morning, they are as likely to evoke the reverberant spiritual grope of U2 as the rock maximalism of the Band.

Speaking of whom: The Lone Bellow visit the Midnight Ramble at the Levon Helm Studios on Saturday, February 27 at 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.levonhelm.com. The Levon Hem Studios are located at 160 Plochmann Lane in Woodstock.

BARD PREMIERE OF SENDAK/ KNUSSEN OPERA PAIRED WITH MAGIC FLUTE REDUX

T

here are certain artforms that can seem inaccessible, even intimidating, if we aren’t exposed to them early in life – opera being perhaps the most obvious example. And yet it’s full of spectacle that can entrance the childlike imagination. Can opera be made kid-friendly?

Mozart proved that it could, with his musical fairytale The Magic Flute, in which a prince undertakes a quest to free a captive princess from a sorcerer. And more recently, Oliver Knussen has set a libretto by the beloved children’s book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak to music: Higglety Pigglety Pop! which relates the adventures of a dog who runs away from home in search of “something more.”

A double bill of the two works – very different in musical style but both appealing to children – will be performed, fully staged, by students in the Bard College Conservatory of Music at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts on the Bard campus in Annandale next weekend. The performances BARD CONSERVATORY will constitute the New York premiere of Soprano Zoe Johnson as the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute Redux Higglety Pigglety Pop! The Magic Flute, Redux is an abridged version of Mozart’s opera that should prove more accommodating to young attention spans.

James Bagwell will conduct the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra, and all roles will be sung by Master’s degree students in the Conservatory’s Graduate Vocal Arts Program. Curtain time for The Magic Flute, Redux and Higglety Pigglety Pop! is 7 p.m. on Friday, March 4 and 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 6. Ticket prices range from $15 to $35; special $100 tickets include premium seating and a reception with the artists on March 6. All ticket sales benefit the Graduate Vocal Arts Program Scholarship Fund. To purchase, call the Fisher Center box office at (845) 758-7900 or go to www.fishercenter.bard.edu.

as “a series of talks at Olana designed to navigate contemporary artistic practice as it relates to travel, ecology, history and landscape,” “Deep AIR” 2016 kicks off on Saturday afternoon, February 27 (snow date February 28) with readings by crossover artists Christopher Stackhouse and Lori Anderson Moseman, A questionand-answer session and reception with tea and cake will follow.

Both a visual artist and a writer on the arts, the Brooklyn-based Stackhouse wrote in Seismosis, his recent book with the artist John Keene, about how the gap between real-world experience and drawing parallels “my interiority exteriorized.” His illustrated talk will examine translations from word to image. In her book Full Quiver, New Paltz poet Lori Anderson takes the reader to Bronze Age (1700-600 BCE) Anatolia, where Luwian hieroglyphs recorded human experience. Anderson Moseman juxtaposes the symbology of the Luwian writing system with contemporary QR code (those little boxes of squares-within-

squares used for product scanning) to intervene and mediate the act of reading, “taking us across time and space to places we forgot to study.”

This guided tour of “uncharted geographies of meaning” sets forth at 1 p.m. in the Wagon House Education Center at the Olana State Historic Site.

The entry fee is $10 general admission, $5 for Olana members. Reserve tickets by calling (818) 828-1872, extension 105, e-mailing ahufnagel@olana.org or online at www.olana.org/education.

WSW’s Chili Bowl Fiesta

E

ach of the handcrafted ceramic bowls at the 19th annual Chili Bowl Fiesta on Saturday, February 27 will be unique: a one-of-a-kind addition to any collection of pottery. Not only that, its purchase includes a helping of hot and savory chili donated by local eateries to enjoy while visiting with friends and listening to live music by Dog on Fleas, the familyfriendly band who have played for the event so many times over the years that they’ve become an integral part of it.

The fundraiser supports the programs of the Women’s Studio Workshop of Binnewater Lane in Rosendale. The Chili Bowl Fiesta will take place at the Rosendale Community Center, located at 1055 Route 32 North in Rosendale.

Admission costs $5 from 2 to 4 p.m., when the best selection of handmade ceramics will be available. Admission is free from 4 to 7 p.m., which is when the live music happens. The chili is available while it lasts, either served up in one’s newly acquired ceramic bowl or purchased at nominal cost in paper bowls. Cornbread and toppings are included in either case.

Prices start at $10 for a small bowl or one with a simple design. Larger, more elaborately decorated pieces or ones made by professional artists can cost upwards of $50, but much of the selection falls somewhere in the middle of that range. Repeat visitors to the Chili Bowl Fiesta know that competition for the bowls is fierce; people come year after year to expand their own collections and purchase gifts. Expect to see lines out the door of people waiting to get in at the event’s start, who, once inside, will circle the tables and literally fill their arms with stacks of bowls. (In other words, if you see one that you like, don’t wait; get it.) The artistic styles and designs used on the ceramics run the gamut from sweet to sophisticated, literal to abstract, folksy to Zenlike.

Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) expects to have some 900 bowls completed for this year’s event. Most of the stock sells out by evening. Many of the pieces are created in Wednesday-night sessions where staff, interns and volunteers – both novices and professional artists – get together for a potluck supper and then make the bowls for the fundraiser. “It’s a group of really dedicated volunteers that comes out all year,� says Ruth McKinney Burket, ceramics studio manager for the organization. “A lot of them come out every week; they call me when they’re not going to make it.�

Two hundred of the bowls for this year’s event were created by four artists-inresidence – Sarah Blackwell, Mari Ogihara, Sarah Newberry and Rachel Dubicki. “These are artists highly skilled in ceramics,� says Burket, “so I’m really excited about the quality of the work. We also have a number of artists-in-residence who are printmakers and painters. One of those women, Laura Manfredi, is a printmaker from Italy who has been here for about six weeks and keeps joining us in the basement ceramic studio to decorate more bowls. It’s been fun seeing her explore the ceramic surface during her time here. It’s her first time doing anything in ceramics, but she has become enthralled by the process and enjoys the energy in the studio.�

And then there are bowls created by relative newbies to the ceramic arts who seem to have found their niche. “Karin Smith Spanier has been taking classes with

Tart-tongued Texan TheaterSounds revives the wit of Molly Ivins with Red Hot Patriot this Saturday at UUC of the Catskills Whatever one thinks of its politics and culture, the state of Texas has un-

Upcoming Events

deniably given the world some largerthan-life characters who don’t ever mince words. Some of the most memorable among them have been brassy, sassy, independent women: Ann Richards, who was governor before George W. Bush comes to mind. And then there was the widely syndicated newspaper columnist Molly Ivins.

Ivins wasn’t born in Texas, but she embraced the state in all its glorious rottenness and learned to talk like she was from there, with a talent for folksy yarnspinning and witty barbs ever at the ready.

“I never saw anything funnier than Texas politics,” she wrote (with uncharacteristic mildness), and her adopted home provided endless fodder for her wit. So did the nation’s capital. Ivins’ mission was to ride herd on the people who ran her state and her country, taking no prisoners and letting the American people know in her weekly column whenever the emperor had no clothes on.

George W. Bush was a favorite target; it was Ivins who dubbed him “Shrub.” “Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention,” she advised voters.

She also believed that being informed and involved was both in the self-interest and the patriotic duty of every American: “Politics is not a picture on a wall or a television sitcom that you can decide you don’t much care for,” she warned. In her very last column before she died of breast cancer in 2007 – in the thick of Bush’s military adventure in Iraq, which she passionately opposed – Ivins wrote, “We are the people who run this country.

We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war.”

It’s not at all surprising that someone quickly realized that they could write a very funny show based on Ivins’ famous witticisms. Twin playwrights Margaret and Allison Engel did just that with Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass wit of Molly Ivins, which opened in Philadelphia 2010 starring Kathleen Turner. Now you can catch a local production of the play in dramatic reading format, as the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills hosts the latest in TheaterSounds’ Hudson Valley Playreading Series this Saturday.

Nicola Sheara directs and Nancy Rothman stars.

Red Hot Patriot begins at 7:30 p.m. on February 27, and admission is by donation. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills is located at 320 Sawkill Road, 1.5 miles north of Washington Avenue and 1.5 miles south of Route 209 in Kingston.

Called the “greatest male dancer of his own and any other time,” by The New York Times, Mexican-born dancer/choreographer José Limón (19081972) was unquestionably one of the giants of the modern dance revolution

ALMANAC WEEKLY

February 25, 2016 of the 20th century. He studied with the legendary Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman, danced on Broadway, founded a company in 1946 that remains a vital institution to this day. Along the way, Limón refined a lyrical, powerful movement language all his own that seemed to echo the principles of martial arts disciplines, his organic “fall-and-recovery” technique emanating from the body’s core and emphasizing the use of the dancers’ own weight and momentum. His original choreography lives on as well, interpreted by many other ensembles besides the José Limón Dance Company; his tensionfilled take on Shakespeare’s Othello, The Moor’s Pavane, is still considered a classic of the genre.

Malachi Roth’s documentary about the great dancer, Limón: A Life beyond Words, narrated by Uta Hagen and Isaiah Sheffer, will be shown on Sunday at the Unison Arts & Learning Center in New Paltz. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Sarah Stackhouse, an associate professor at SUNY-Purchase who danced with the José Limón Dance Company from 1958 to 1969. Today Stackhouse is one of the leading stagers of Limón’s ballets for dance companies around the globe, so her insights should be compelling indeed.

Limón: A Life beyond Words will be presented at 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 28 at Unison, which is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz.

Admission is by a suggested donation of $10. For more information, call (845) 2551559 or visit http://unisonarts.org.

A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer performed & signed in Rhinebeck “In the telling, women take their power back,” writes Eve Ensler in her introduction to A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer. The anthology of poetry and prose on the

topic of violence against women, coedited by Ensler with Mollie Doyle in 2007, is the basis for the theatrical production of the same title at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck on Friday and Saturday, February 26 and 27 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, February 28 at 3 p.m.

Admission is by donation, with half of all proceeds benefiting Grace Smith House, Inc., the Poughkeepsie-based nonprofit that has provided shelter, advocacy and counseling to victims of domestic abuse since the 1970s. The presentation of A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer marks International Women’s Day on March 8 and the now-annual V-Day events held worldwide on Valentine’s Day to protest against relationship violence.

The production, directed by Tracy Carney with choreography by Leighann Kowalsky, involves a series of staged readings written and performed by men and women. The cast includes Jennifer Delora, a deaf actor who will not only speak and sign her monologue, “Conversations with my Son” by Susan Miller, but also remain on stage throughout the readings to sign the performances of the other actors.

“After being cast in the show, I asked the director if I might be able to sign and speak my monologue,” says Delora, who was not born deaf, but gradually lost her hearing from the age of five. “She was very enthusiastic about the idea, since we are all bringing so much of ourselves into each piece. After further discussion, we decided that I would sign all of [the monologues] to create a first-time, inclusive performance for all three shows.”

Delora will have access to the script onstage, but is memorizing all of the monologues and corresponding translations because her body language cannot be blocked by a podium for the signing to be fully visible. Signing the monologues onstage – rather than interpreting them stageside, as is the usual case when American Sign Language (ASL) is utilized for a performance – means that members of the audience who are deaf will be able to experience the entire show in this way alongside hearing audiences

without having to take their eyes off the action.

And that may ultimately mean more than just inclusion to some (as valuable as that alone is). A number of studies from reputable researchers have indicated that deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals are at an increased risk of being victims of relationship violence.

The reasons for this include the lack of an interpreter when law enforcement is called in, where the abused person may not be able to communicate fully to police while the abuser manipulates the situation. The abusive partner may take away the deaf individual’s communication devices, or intimidate him or her through exaggerated gestures. And abusers may not tell victims when people call on the phone or try to intervene, to make them believe that they have fewer options.

Delora herself is a survivor of what she terms “deaf-on-deaf violence,” with a full spinal fusion as a result of the abuse.

“The subject matter is of great personal importance to me,” she says, “and I felt it was of the utmost importance to provide access to this subject matter to all audiences. I hope other theater companies take note and realize it isn’t that hard to include ASL within a production and provide equal access for all.”

A native of the Hudson Valley, Delora pursued a film career in Los Angeles for a time, where she established a deaf-run theater company and hosted a talk show called Deaf Perspectives. A member of the American Board of Disability Analysts, Dr. Delora has taught ASL for more than 25 years, most recently at the Town of Esopus Library. Delora interpreted the Kingston mayoral debate recently and would like to help establish communication access for the deaf in all political, entertainment and community forums in the area. “One of my dreams is to work with UPAC or Bethel Woods to provide them with the opportunity to include deaf audiences at their events,” she says. “Deaf people like concerts and comedy as much as the next guy!”

HISTORY

February 25, 2016

A COUSIN AND CONFIDANTE OF FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, Daisy Suckley traveled extensively with FDR during his presidency, gave him his famous black Scottish terrier Fala and helped to establish his library in Hyde Park.

Do it for Daisy Wilderstein seeks volunteers

W

hen Evan Quimby began volunteering as a docent at the Wilderstein Historic Site, it was kind of a retirement thing where she had some time on her hands and the desire to give back to the community. She quickly found, however, that she enjoyed giving tours, and even recruited her husband to join her. “We both came to really love it a lot,” she says now. “You meet the most interesting people from literally all over the world, particularly in the summer. And the volunteer staff is very nice, very welcoming to new people right from the start. We’ve become a close-knit group of people, and you become part of that community.”

Wilderstein is seeking a few more such good people in a volunteer recruitment event that it’s holding on Saturday, March 12 at 10 a.m. The volunteer event will begin with an information session, followed by free tours of the house for anyone interested in becoming a volunteer docent or greeter. An RSVP is requested

by March 1 so they know how many people to expect.

Call (845) 8764818 or e-mail wilderstein@ wilderstein.org.

Many people who later become docents begin as greeters, says Quimby, because one doesn’t have to memorize as much information. Greeters work in the gift shop selling admissions and gift items and chat with guests. “They don’t need to know a great deal about the house at first, but most eventually learn a lot and can share whatever they wish to, if they are comfortable doing so. And this position can be filled by someone with mobility issues, because you’re basically seated.”

All new docents are trained and mentored by experienced docents. New volunteers “shadow” an experienced docent on a few tours to get a feel for things before going solo, and have a mentor to call if they need advice about how to handle a particular situation or need more information. Docents are

given a script containing the basic facts; but once they’re familiar with the house and the history of its residents, they can personalize the tour as they wish.

One of the best things about the volunteer positions, says Quimby, is that they don’t require a huge commitment of time. Wilderstein is open from Thursday through Sunday from May to October, and from Thanksgiving until the end of December on weekends only.

Volunteers are asked to work two days per month (during the months that it’s open), and the schedule can be arranged flexibly to suit each person’s needs.

The hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 or 5 p.m., so it’s really just ten hours a month for half the year that a docent or greeter is asked to commit to.

Volunteers are important to all of our regional historic sites, but in the case of Wilderstein they are essential. Because Wilderstein is not owned by the state or federal government, it doesn’t have access to those sources of funding, and the property only remains open to the public through the day-to-day staffing of volunteers. “We’re not part of the parks system, so there is no budget,” says Quimby. “We have to raise all our own money.”

Any funds that are raised go right back into preserving the house and property.

The Wilderstein historic site is owned by the Wilderstein Preservation, a private nonprofit founded by Wilderstein’s last

A cousin and confidante of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Suckley traveled extensively with FDR during his presidency, gave him his famous black Scottish terrier Fala and helped to establish his library in Hyde Park. She was with FDR when he died at Warm Springs, Georgia in 1945.

The letters that they exchanged during their friendship, discovered in a battered suitcase at Wilderstein, provide one of the best resources for understanding Roosevelt’s private life during his presidency.

The site’s collections – all original to the estate – number more than

15,500 catalogued objects that include textiles, clothing, art and personal items, photographs, books, sheet music, magazines and ephemeral items dating from 1540 to 1991. The estate's archives include correspondence and bills from 1706 to 1991, along with hundreds of maps, architectural and landscape drawings, diaries, ledgers, account books, ships’ logs and business records relating to the Suckley family. The collection is considered one of the most comprehensive records of the history of the Hudson Valley.

Two author talks in our region in the next week illustrate two sides of Eleanor Roosevelt via her interactions with another woman, one an aristocratic relative and the other an African American Civil Rights activist. This Sunday, February 28 at 2:30 pm at the Boardman Road Branch Library, authors Timothy Dwyer and Marc Peyser discuss their book Hissing Cousins: The Untold Story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Alice Roosevelt Longworth.

Both born in 1884, to brothers Elliott and Theodore Roosevelt respectively, shy, serious Eleanor and flamboyant, frivolous Alice spent a large part of their childhoods together, but their temperaments and worldviews grew to be polar opposites.

In the 1930s they even wrote opposing syndicated newspaper columns and embarked on competing nationwide speaking tours.

The Boardman Road Branch Library is located at 141 Boardman Road in Poughkeepsie. For information call (845) 485-3445, extension 3702, or visit www. poklib.org.

Then on Thursday, March 3 in the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home, Patricia Bell-Scott will give a talk on her book The Firebrand and the First Lady: Portrait of a Friendship – Pauli Murray, Eleanor Roosevelt and the Struggle for Social Justice. At age 28, Murray, the granddaughter of a mulatto slave, wrote a letter to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt protesting racial segregation in the South. The First Lady wrote back, and so began a friendship.

Pauli Murray went on to become known in her own right as a poet, intellectual rebel, principal strategist in the fight to preserve Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, cofounder of the National Organization for Women and the first African American female Episcopal priest.

Professor Bell-Scott’s talk and booksigning begins at 7 p.m. The Wallace

A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer with ASL at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck Here’s something that I learned this week: Domestic violence impacts one out of every two deaf women, and one out of every six deaf men. And here’s another thing I learned: If you want to raise awareness about domestic abuse, you can highlight a particularly vulnerable population, such as the hearing-impaired, and you can create a show that naturally integrates signing into all of the performances, rather than a separate, stand-alone interpreter for a special single showtime. And guess what? This wonderful production exists!

A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer incorporates all that I have shared here, and it takes place this Friday and Saturday, February 26 and 27 at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, February 28 at 3 p.m. at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck.

Ticket prices are by donation/pay what you can, and proceeds will support the Grace Smith House, Inc., a domestic violence shelter located in Poughkeepsie.

This show draws from a collection of writings edited by Eve Ensler and Mollie Doyle and is about stopping violence against women and girls. Especially notable is the fact that for the first time in the Hudson Valley, this production includes a deaf actor who speaks and signs her own monologue, as well as signs for the duration of the show, providing inclusive ASL access to the deaf community.

The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck is located at 661 Route 308 in Rhinebeck. For tickets or more information, call (845) 876-3080 or visit http://centerforperformingarts.org.

16 Robert Burke Warren to launch Perfectly Broken at Kleinert/James in Woodstock

PHOTO OF ROBERT BURKE WARREN BY MARK LOETE

L

ocal singer/songwriter/ stay-at-home Dad Robert Burke Warren has penned a perfectly unbroken story of all the ways (or many of them, at least) that things can come undone. Some of these ways are instantaneous, such as when inclement weather threatens life and dangerously alters the landscape. Others seem to occur, sneak up on you, when you’re just not listening carefully, like a guitar string that goes out of tune and sours the music. In Perfectly Broken both sorts of changes are visited on a young family, forcing each of the characters to come to terms with infidelity, financial strife and uncertainty. Told from the Dad’s perspective, the tale offers readers an alternative take on relational responsibility. And it addresses the basic resilience of human dignity and the possibility of forgiveness.

Perfectly Broken is Burke Warren’s first published novel; two previous novels, he says, schooled him in what it takes to be disciplined and get the job done. “One was a YA novel I wrote as a birthday present for my son, Jack, when he was 10,” he says. “That got the whole ball rolling.

I’ve always been a writer, but I hadn’t gone through the process of sitting down and writing a book. We’d moved up here [to the Catskills] in ‘02, and Holly and I read to Jack every night. Then we started making up stories.

“As a surprise, I brought him about ten pages of one of our stories, and he was flabbergasted, like, ‘You can do that?’ It was like Christmas morning. He pestered me to do more. You learn how to write a book by writing, just as you learn how to be a parent by being a parent. It was so fun. Later I got an agent, who shepherded me through a rewrite. Then I wrote another one, a little more skewed towards an older audience.

“I started writing Perfectly Broken after [Hurricane] Irene. I’d been wanting to write a book that I would want to read and recommend to my friends. It’s not as autobiographical as it may seem to people who know me. I took aspects of my life that I thought were unusual and interesting. And then I created that world, and based some of it on the Catskills that I know. All of the characters are inventions.”

“When you began, did you have a plan?”

I asked him.

“I didn’t have an outline, didn’t know how it was going to go. I had some bullet points: four couples – the narrator and his wife, two other couples and the neighbors who are significant. I looked at when you’re thrust up against people who seem to have different values, how you’re forced to live with them under certain circumstances. I didn’t know who was going stay together and who wasn’t. I became a sort of spiteful god. I put them all through Hell.

“One of the things that inspired me to do that was – you know, you get to midlife, and the things that happen to these people happen to everybody. Whether you’re a local contractor who plows the roads or a stay-at-home Dad/former wannabe rock star or a successful rock star or a writer or a trust fund kid – all the stuff that happens to them is gonna happen to you: the grief,

ALMANAC WEEKLY feelings of failure, of incompetence as a parent, worries that you’re gonna repeat the things that happened to you as a kid.

I thought it was fascinating, especially in relationships in grief and trauma.”

“You wrote, ‘Death suspends the rules…

Bad times do not bring out the best in everyone, apparently.’ So, why do you think people who are in monogamous relationships stray?” I asked him.

“No spoilers, now! Intimacy is a tricky thing. Some people need it more than others, or need different types of it. It can take different forms. Humans need intimacy, and sometimes it becomes destructive, depending on how you put your life together. Trauma can make people more like animals – furry animals.

In our culture, too, especially if you’re a secular person, there’re no rituals for death. This sets us apart from the rest of the world. For the most part, this thing happens, and if you don’t wrangle that energy into something symbolic, it will work its way through you one way or another. In the wake of significant trauma, whatever the governing principles of your life are, they kind of get suspended. I’ve seen it happen.

“When you write fiction, you don’t want to write about happy people. It’s kind of boring if no one is learning; even the ugly stuff, that will broaden your sense of the world. This book was a three-and-a-halfyear process. I really have to give props to Glaring Omissions, my writers’ group, who gave me feedback. The interesting thing was, in the beginning I would compulsively shield my characters from conflict without realizing I was doing it. My group would call me on it. What fascinated me was, when it came time to put characters through it, I would feel it viscerally. This is fiction, so if I feel uncomfortable, it’s probably good.”

“What about the memoir you’re writing now?” I ask. “Many authors start out writing fiction and then turn to memoir, like Abby Thomas, Mary Karr and Alice Sebold. If you’re immersed in your memoir, does one inform the other?”

“Yes, and I’m also doing a couple of short stories now. My agent keeps saying I have to finish my memoir. Beverly Donofrio has been really a great teacher, too.

There were aspects to my own story that I wanted to mine for the novel: The rock ‘n’ roll/ stay-at-home Dad stuff was juicy stuff. I sat down with Jack and said, ‘You have to know that this guy is not me and this kid is not you.’ It was tricky. I wanted to have it be that the reader would realize the father is in a beautiful part of his life, but he doesn’t really realize it. I said, ‘This guy complains a lot, and he’s not having nearly as good a time as I’m having with you.’

“Jack’s a writer, too. He’s way ahead of the game. He gets it. I wanted to take that dynamic, and the whole notion of giving your kid what you never had, as if you had to right some cosmic wrong. At the same time, this puts an onus on the kid. If the kid gets a notion that he’s playing a part in this drama that he didn’t ask for, and it’s mostly about his parents, that gives the kid a sense of pressure and responsibility.

I wanted to take these kinds of conflicts and turn them into compelling fiction.

“As the book goes on, it becomes ever more fictional. I look at being a stay-athome Dad and what that does to your manhood, parents as sexual beings, feelings of failure and jealously, money woes…and then the weather happens!

How do you reconcile not turning into a furry animal? The only thing I think is objectively true about parenting is that time speeds up. Everything else is subjective.”

“How many stories do you think you have in you?”

“Lots! I have this thing, it’s in my genes. My grandfather was longtime entertainment editor for the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Variety; my Mom was a Journalism major. I was a big letter-writer for a long time – an epic letter-writer. But I remember having this distinct sense in my 20s that I didn’t have any stories to tell. I did, but I didn’t

Howard Greenberg

ART

Eye on the street Howard Greenberg gives photography talk at SUNY-New Paltz’s Dorsky Museum this Sunday

I

n our neck of the woods, Howie Greenberg emerged in the 1970s as an affable hippie Psych major with a talent for taking photos, a good eye for other people’s work and a firm belief that photography was an artform as valid, valuable and aesthetically demanding as painting or sculpture. In 1977 he founded the not-for-profit Catskill Center for Photography, now known as the Center for Photography at Woodstock (CPW), and soon thereafter became a serious collector of art photography and photojournalism.

In 1981 he set up a research business called Photofind that evolved into the Howard Greenberg Gallery. Based in SoHo, its exhibitions played a major role in getting New York City culture mavens to take “street” photography seriously, with ripples across the globe that have successfully established it as a top-shelf artform.

Now located in the Fuller Building at 41 East 57th Street, the Howard Greenberg Gallery’s enormous collection includes works by Eugène Atget, Henri CartierBresson, Bruce Davidson, André Kertész, William Klein, Gordon Parks, Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, Josef Sudek, Edward Weston, Edward Burtynsky, Jungjin Lee, Joel Meyerowitz and Vivian Maier. In 2013 the Gallery became the exclusive representative of the estates of Berenice Abbott and Arnold Newman.

Greenberg recently donated more than 1,000 photos from his collection to the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz. The Dorsky is currently showing Part One of an exhibition selected from among them by curator Daniel Belasco, titled “On the Street and in the Studio.” It runs until July 10, with Part Two scheduled to open on August 31.

You can get the inside story on Howard Greenberg’s adventures in collecting this Sunday, February 28 at 2 p.m., when he gives a Gallery Talk at the Dorsky, cosponsored by CPW. The event is open to the public, with admission by voluntary donation. For more info visit www.newpaltz.edu/museum/exhibitions/greenberg. html.

recognize them. I also didn’t have the discipline. The work of sitting down and writing stuff you know is not good – you have to suck for a little while and know that you suck, and just work through that. Being in the Hudson Valley has been extremely helpful for me because of the community. You just have to show up; and I had to accept that it would be a lot of work.”

“To have faith in yourself, you mean…”

“It’s amazing,” he says. “I experienced rejection with this book, too. And I’ve submitted a lot of short stories, and I’ve become intimate with rejection. It’s all right; part of the process. If you can go into a room where four stern people are looking at you and sing a song, you can do anything.”

I ask, “Are you afraid of anything?”

ALMANAC WEEKLY

February 25, 2016 “I’m afraid of a lot of stuff. I’m afraid of rejection, even though I know it won’t kill me. I’m dealing with anxiety over how my book will be received. When people say, ‘Don’t be afraid,’ I hate that. I would say: ‘Be afraid. Accept the fear as best you can and work through it. Get to know it, work to understand what it is you’re afraid of and don’t beat yourself up.’ Courage is not the absence of fear; I think it’s plowing through fear. As a performer I always get the jitters – always. One of the benefits of getting old (and not dying), I just don’t give a shit what people think – that is, much, much less than I used to. It’s just not real. If you survive to middle age, you realize the difference between real problems versus problems that are not really problems. There’s not a lot of reality in my book. The real stuff I’m saving for my memoir. But a guiding principle for me is: If someone who hears one of my songs (or reads my novel) thinks it’s real, then that means it’s a good song. It has a resonance to it.”

The author will appear at the Kleinert/ James Center next Saturday to read, play songs featured in the story (www.youtube. com/playlist?list=PLyQqMOHq3zCL vT4BOc4iAVAQ9U37BXUxB), hold a question-and-answer session and sign books. There will be refreshments.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each otherWe have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it. Please give John a call for more details- (845)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.

Search all the MLS properties in our region at www.WinMorrisonRealty.com When I hear someone lamenting how hard life is, I usually ask; compared to what? Just take every day as it comes and know that there is someone who has gone through this before you and survived. I’m never afraid to be judged for giving something new a try. Life is hard only when you aren’t true to yourself. Be sure to speak out when you disagree.

It may not change the course of the problem but it will give your soul freedom! “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” Dr. Suess. Now for goodness sake start looking at home to buy so we can become friends!

What You See Is what you will get. This 124.60-acre piece of land is great for farming and with pristine fields, you can imagine the possibilities.

George Graham is loving the farmland and says, “there is also an18th century stone house and barn with a drilled well on the property too”! This would be great for a large commercial project as well as a working farm. There is also the possibility of sub-dividing the land, maybe a co-op farming community, housing, a cell tower, or anything you can think of, it is up to you!

ANNALIESE is one of the sweetest kittens you’ll ever meet. She is a 4.5-month old tabby (striped) and has been living in a loving foster home. In addition to being sweet, Annaliese is a social butterfly who’s now ready for her forever home. She had her rabies and distemper vaccines and was given a clean bill of health by her vet. For more information about this little angel, please call (917)282-2018 or email DRJLPK@ aol.com MAINE COON CATS, GEORGIA & SILAS, (mom & kitten) NEED HOMES. Georgia is 2.5-years old and was found w/her kitten, Silas, now 8-months, in the Catskill Mountains. They can be adopted together or apart. Georgia’s been a great mom & Silas is adapting to indoor life, but Georgia has made it clear she would prefer a home where she has both indoor and safe outdoor access. Georgia is very stressed & cannot stay in her temporary NYC foster apartment (she’s from the mountains, after all).

She needs to find her loving forever home or a foster situation that is indoor/outdoor.

They are beautiful kitties, gentle and sweet and have been vetted and spayed. If you’re interested in adopting Georgia and/or Silas or have questions, please contact Amy at 917-902-2813 or atrakinski@gmail.com 3 glorious ORANGE TABBIES (striped) are ready for their loving forever homes. They are girls; 11-weeks old. Two have long hair.

They’re as sweet as sugar; beautiful inside and out. They’re litter pan trained and up to date w/shots. If you’re interested in learning more about them, please call (917)2822018 or email DRJLPK@aol.com
