STAGE Mary Louise Wilson takes questions on Tuesday in Stone Ridge Among the many celebrities hiding in plain sight in Ulster County is veteran actress Mary Louise Wilson, who made her first Broadway appearance in 1963 and went on to win a Best Featured Actress in a Musical Tony in 2007 for her portrayal of Big Edie in Grey Gardens. Full Gallop, a solo show about fashion maven Diana Vreeland that she co-wrote with Mark Hampton, won her an Obie and a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding One-Person Show in 1996. Wilson’s first movie role was a bit part in Klute in 1971; since then you’ve seen her on the big screen in the likes of Zelig, The Money Pit, Green Card, Stepmom and Nebraska. Her TV career includes a stint on All My Children, plus appearances on Maude, Lou Grant, Cosby, Frasier, The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie. She played Louie C. K.’s mother and last year was Millie on Orange Is the New Black. Now a Marbletown resident, Wilson has been named artist-in-residence for the spring 2017 semester at SUNYUlster, where she will work privately with students. “Mary Louise will be making visits to our Voice and Diction, Acting and Theatre Workshop classes. She’ll be teaching audition techniques, among other things,” says Stephen Balantzian, assistant professor of Theatre and coordinator of the Theatre Program.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in Rhinebeck When Tennessee Williams won his 1955 Pulitzer Prize for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, he was being recognized for a Broadway production that had been somewhat bowdlerized at the insistence of director Elia Kazan. By the time of the 1974 American Shakespeare Theatre revival, social mores had loosened up enough for the playwright to restore a fair bit of his references to homosexuality that had been excised from the original. It’s that harder-hitting revised version that

opened on February 24 at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, running through Saturday, March 4. Set on a cotton plantation in the Mississippi Delta, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof examines the web of lies, schemes, greed and self-deception that enmeshes the family of Big Daddy, a wealthy planter who is used to getting his way but doesn’t know that he’s dying. His son Brick is a handsome hunk who seems sexually
uninterested in his gorgeous, frustrated social-climbing wife Maggie following the suicide of a close male friend, while Brick’s brother and sister-in-law connive to cheat Brick and Maggie out of their share of Big Daddy’s inheritance. It’s a steamy Southern Gothic potboiler that Williams regarded as his best play. The Center’s production is directed by Marcus D. Gregio and stars George Allen, Diana di Grandi, Emily DePew, Joe Eriole,
Cabaret-style musical performance never really gets old, but in recent years it has been experiencing a spirited, edgy revival of interest. Among the Hudson Valley’s locally based masters of the form is Denise Summerford, co-director of the Half Moon Theatre School of the Arts. She has pulled together a diverse selection of songs from many eras and musical genres into a one-woman show titled Cover Girl, and will be performing it this Saturday at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA)’s Marriott Pavilion, Half Moon Theatre’s home-awayfrom-home. This being the CIA, food and drink will also be part of the package deal. Summerford has appeared on Broadway in such musicals as Taboo, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Saturday Night Fever and Grease. She received a Drama Desk Award for her work in the a cappella musical In Transit. Her performance this weekend will include such songs as Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” Peggy Lee’s “Fever,” Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself ” and Meghan Trainor’s “All about that Bass.” Vito Petroccitto is the musical director for Cover Girl. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 4. Your $75 ticket price includes a repast of CIA brews, local craft beers, Hudson Valley wines and spirits and gastropub fare at the Post Road Brew House, the newest pop-up restaurant on the CIA campus.

distributed and temporally parallel sense of the body of work, as if Miller actually enjoys 48-hour days and eight-season years. Overlooking for a moment an outlying pre-97’s effort, Mythologies, Miller’s solo career begins in the toddler years of the new millennium with two extravagantly financed major-label declarations. (“Whom shall we get on drums? Jim Keltner or Matt Chamberlain? I know! Both!”) Helmed by huge-name producers (Jon Brion and George Drakoulias), those efforts swiftly distinguished the solo artist from the ramshackle roots/rock group of friends that built his platform, extracting the natural rock star from the cult band, moving him to the coasts (both) and contextualizing his songs in just about every pop and rock tradition except alt/ country. A fairly standard and fractious rock ’n’ roll narrative, typically ego-y and acrimonious, but the Old 97’s barely blinked. They’ve released what is inarguably some of their best work in the years of solo Rhett Miller. 2008’s Blame It on Gravity might actually be my favorite of theirs, and that was followed by the two overstuffed volumes of The Grand Theatre, the signature rowdy selfeffacement of 2014’s Most Messed Up and
today’s brand-new and exceptionally good Graveyard Whistling. If the Old 97’s have not succeeded in pushing their way onto a rock ’n’ roll big stage that barely even exists anymore, one thing of which they absolutely cannot be accused is taking their large and enthusiastic fanbase for granted or leaving them wanting. They’ve kept the hits and tours coming and they’ve gotten better and bolder, writing with assurance and daring and pushing their

ALMANAC WEEKLY
March 2, 2017 eccentric band chemistry to its stylistic limits without ever violating its exuberant roots/punk essence. As the aughts graduated into the teens, Miller’s unflagging solo career settled into a boutique vein, and the once-strict stylistic lines between Rhett Miller and Old 97’s records softened, leading to a couple of quietly exceptional and unusual art/roots records that you really might want to check out: 2012’s self-produced The Dreamer (recorded locally at Kevin McMahon’s Marcata Recording in New Paltz) and 2015’s luminous The Traveler, a collaboration with the Decembrists’ offshoot project Black Prairie, with notorious Northwest reprobates Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey spiking the punch as well. Even though Miller’s recent solo work shares soil with the Old 97’s, the differences in the writing are obvious and significant. The solo songs tend toward the confessional, idiosyncratic, angsty and experimental; the Old 97’s songs are formal. In them, Miller inhabits a traditional American mythic persona, accepting the populist challenge of pop songwriting and working by choice within the tradition. Imagine how Pete Townshend writes for his own voice and how he writes for Roger: same difference, approximately. Shame on me for getting this far into the story without mentioning that Miller has an eminently worthy songwriting foil in Old 97’s bassist Murry Hammond, Colin (Moulding) to Rhett’s Andy (Partridge), engaging in friendly one-upmanship and goading each other into ever-moreaudacious moves. And on The Grand Theatre, it was Hammond who scored the hit with the exquisite REM-ish “How Lovely All It Was,� a track that I am still hearing on the radio on my long drives, and I am struck anew each time by the beauty and perfection of it. Graveyard Whistling positions the Old 97’s in a reverb-drenched Southwestern production noir environment, like a spooked Calexico on the brown acid but in a really good studio. Sonics and songs are seamlessly coordinated. Undertones of sin and salvation throughout erupt to the surface in the (suddenly red-hot) advance single, “Good with God,� a smoldering duet with Brandi Carlisle. When “Good with God� runs its course, there are any number of worthy and related follow-ups waiting in line. I’d bank on the album-opening “I Don’t
Want to Die in this Town� (Hey, Rhett, you moved to the town that I don’t want to die in. What’s up with that?). The brilliant theological horseplay of “Jesus Loves You� has lasting cult-hit potential. “She Hates Everybody� turns misanthropy into a hurt love story. The band rolls along in its signature rumbustious train groove, but outside the train, the countryside is nocturnal and haunted. This record is nothing less than a field day for the muscular aggro-twang of lead guitarist Ken Bethea, who squalls his noise and waggles his Bigsby in a featured role throughout. I weary of defending the late-period work of bands and artists as among their best. It happens a lot. The big eye may have looked away; the conditions of cultural relevance shift; good looks fade. But the honest and engaged artist gets better. It is just the way it works. That’s one reason why the sudden heat around “Good with God� is so heartening and exciting. Anyone who follows that lead through to the album is going to find a band both invigorated and utterly in command of their idiom, writing smarter and rocking harder than ever. Old 97’s Graveyard Whistling was released on ATO Records on February 24. It is available in all the places. Give it a spin. – John Burdick To learn more about Old 97's, go to http://old97s.com.

She later earned degrees at Bard and at the Mannes College of Music. Now she teaches at Lehman College while working on a doctorate and her first CD. Her performance will include Brahms’ Four Ballades, Op. 10, and Beethoven’s Third Cello Sonata with “plusâ€? artist Paul Wolfram.

Band of
Brothers
B
assist and Chapman Stick master Tony Levin has been a fixture on the world’s biggest stages for the better part of 40 years. He has been an integral member of several ensembles that redefined the rules of rock, notably the Adrian Belew-era (and beyond) King Crimson and Peter Gabriel’s solo bands. His recording discography reads rather like a joke about someone with a time ma-
“There are so many artists, writers and filmmakers in the area. Taking Woodstock as the spiritual center and fanning out from there, the Hudson Valley really is like a large, extended art colony.” chine writing himself into every major development in history, oblivious to the sheer implausibility of someone being involved in so much essential music, and so various, for so long. Somewhat more behind-the-scenes and with a firmer jazz footing, Pete Levin’s rap sheet is hardly less impressive than his brother’s. A Juilliard grad who specialized in French horn (Tony is an Eastman School of Music man), Pete switched to keyboards and became an essential player and synthesizer expert on the legendary New York City session scene of the ’70s, working in the process with Gil Evans, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck, Freddie Hubbard and many more. The “player” world is actually rather small and tightly knit, and Tony and Pete have worked together in various projects over the years, including tours with a little-known global folk troubadour by the name of Paul Simon. But one thing they had never attempted was a proper Levin Brothers band. As logistically improbable as it might seem for musicians with datebooks this demanding, about three years ago they decided to go for it: forming a band, writing the material, making a record and playing some dates. The Levin Brothers finds Pete and Tony uniting over a shared musical passion of their youths. Belying their reputations as progressive and envelope-pushing artists, The Levin Brothers is a sweet, old-school cool-jazz record. Tonal, melodic, brisk and unfailingly groovy, the only radical twist to be found here is Tony’s lead cello playing. Says Tony, “We were playing music at a pretty young age, and one of the musical things that captivated us back then (I’m talking about the mid-’50s!) was the jazz recordings of Julius Watkins (French

horn) and Oscar Pettiford (bass).” Adds Pete, “It’s definitely a return to basics – not in the sense of regressing or changing what we do now, but rather revisiting something that’s a meaningful part of our musical development.” The Levin Brothers is a refreshing antidote for those who might feel that contemporary jazz has largely lost its sense of the tune. It is a concise, lucid and songcentric collection of throwback originals (plus a cover of King Crimson’s beautiful “Matte Kudasi” from Discipline). “Our plan from the get-go was to create melodic, ‘retainable’ compositions, keep solos energetic but relatively short, and lay it all over a deep groove,” says Pete. “When we first got together to discuss how to approach the recording project, we found that we could still sing some of the melodies – and even some of the solos – from Oscar [Pettiford]’s recordings, having not heard them for more than 50 years. That’s saying a lot about the
simple concept of composing a melody.” Tony concurs: “It struck me how well we remembered those pieces we were listening to half a century ago, and how the musicality of the players has stuck with us.” Longtime mid-Hudson residents, the Levin Brothers called on a couple of regional heavy-hitters to round out the ensemble: drummer and SUNYNew Paltz instructor Jeff Siegel and the Levon-scene core member Erik Lawrence on saxophones. The Levin Brothers was beautifully recorded and mixed by Scott Petito at NRS Recording in Catskill. Only two special guests augmented the base quartet: the legendary drummer Steve Gadd (who went to college with Tony) and the great session guitarist David Spinozza, who, among many other notable credits, played on Paul McCartney’s classic Ram. While Tony makes the occasional local appearance live and in our many studios, Pete maintains the higher profile
as a player in the region and has some thoughts on the state of music in the Valley: “There are great musicians all over the area, well-known and lesser-known. Many of them rarely play in the area; some play here a lot. And there are so many artists, writers and filmmakers in the area. Taking Woodstock as the spiritual center of the area and fanning out from there, the Hudson Valley really is like a large, extended art colony. Recording studios, art galleries everywhere, festivals, minor happenings like the Sunday Drum Circle on the Green. It’s great! The downside for musicians is that there aren’t a lot of performance venues. It’s coming back, but the economy is still weak.” On Saturday, March 4, the Levin Brothers – with Siegel and Lawrence onboard – kick off a solid month of touring with a show at the Rosendale Café. After that come two weeks in Latin America (“Hopefully, while we’re running around Argentina, Trump won’t put a ban on jazz

As is usual with silent film screenings at the Rosendale, live piano accompaniment will be improvised by Marta Waterman. The show begins at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 5.
SCREEN
Fallen woman on the rise Rosendale Theatre screens Louise Brooks in silent Diary of a Lost Girl
You may have missed it, in the daily onslaught of craziness out of Washington, DC, but in early February, Aretha Franklin told a Detroit radio station that 2017 “will be my last year in concert. This is it.” The Queen of Soul announced one more forthcoming album, to be co-produced by Stevie Wonder, followed by a cessation of touring and recording, except for the occasional “special appearance.” It would be manifestly ungrateful to begrudge this peerless American musical icon the chance to sit on her laurels after such a long and illustrious career. The lady is 74 years old and has been singing for her living since 1960. But it’s still disheartening to think that we might never get a chance to see her perform live ever again. Oh, but…wait a minute…there’s the Bardavon Gala 2017 coming up next Sunday, March 12. And Aretha herself will be gracing the stage, right here in Poughkeepsie! Granted, Gala tickets are expensive: $275 for premier seating plus a post-show party at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel, featuring food, drink and the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus; $225 for just the concert. But it’s for a good cause (especially with government funding for the arts in immediate peril). Better make your move fast, though; a lot of other people are bound to be thinking the same thing.

ver since the final debate of the 2016 presidential race, feminists across America have been proudly proclaiming themselves Nasty Women. So it seems like an auspicious time to reexamine the legacy of one of the most notorious nasty women of the silent screen era: actress Louise Brooks, whose short black bobbed hair inspired a generation of flappers and whose outré lifestyle and controversial characterizations generated both outrage and admiration among moviegoers. In her career-defining role as Lulu in G. W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box, Brooks became an instantly recognizable cultural icon, said to have been used by Liza Minelli as her model for the character Sally Bowles in Cabaret. But how many of us today have actually seen Brooks’ films? That deficit can be amended on Sunday, March 5, however, when the Rosendale Theatre’s monthly Sunday Silents series dusts off her second collaboration with Pabst: The Diary of a Lost Girl (1929). In the film, Brooks plays Thymian, a beautiful teenager who becomes pregnant after a sexual attack by her father’s employee. Refusing to marry him, she is sent to a girls’ reformatory, eventually escapes but ends up working in a brothel – until her father dies and she inherits a fortune. Part melodrama, part social commentary, The Diary of a Lost Girl was heavily edited upon release on account of its “shocking” story and characters; versions of varying length exist today because of the cuts. As is usual with silent film screenings at the Rosendale, live piano accompaniment will be improvised by Marta Waterman. The show begins at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 5. Tickets cost $7 general admission, $5 for members. The handicapped-accessible Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale, and has ample parking in the rear.

True life stories to become “Songs of Remarkable Women” Remember that great “Unsung Heroes” concert put on by the Rondout Valley Growers’ Association at Rondout Valley High School last April, in which local singer/songwriters per-
formed oral-history songs honoring local farmers? Or the Woodstock Elders Concert hosted by the Woodstock Music Lab in July? Both events were programs of the Rosendale-based notfor-profit SageArts, which describes itself as “an intergenerational arts project that promotes social inclusion and dignity for elders in our community.” Now SageArts is at it again. Its latest project aims to honor the centennial of women’s suffrage in New York State by
celebrating women elders in the midHudson who have devoted their lives to empowering women and advocating for women’s rights. To kick off the process of collecting true life stories and transforming them into songs, the organization is holding a launch party in

Giddens and Powell to perform in Hudson this Friday
Best known as the lead singer, violinist, banjo-player and co-founder of the Grammy Award-winning old-time music band the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rhiannon Giddens has been exploring other waters recently. She has collaborated with Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Jim James and in the unlikely, Dylan-authorized, TBone Burnett-supervised supergroup
ALMANAC WEEKLY the New Basement Tapes. Now Giddens takes to the road in a deeply and broadly traditional duo with the multiple Grammy-winning banjo- and fiddle-player Dirk Powell. The pair will make a stop at Helsinki Hudson on Friday, March 3 at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $45 and $55. For tickets and more information, visit www. helsinkihudson.com. Club Helsinki is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.
Vocalist Méabh Begley joins Téada this Friday at Beacon’s Towne Crier
If your idea of “Irish music” consists mainly of sentimental ballads about leaving me saintly ould mither behind on the Ould Sod, think again. The traditional music of the Celts is full of fire, demanding ferocious instrumental dexterity as well as depth of feeling in its performance. As acknowledged masters of the art have aged, died or retired, interest among younger Irish music fans veered off for a while into the boisterous, attitude-heavy realm of “Celtic punk.” But a new generation of traditionalists is coming up, learning at the feet of their elders and honing their chops to carry the torch into the future. One of these upstarts is vocalist Méabh Begley, who comes with an impressive pedigree: Her father is award-winning singer Seamus Begley and her uncle, accordionist Brendan Begley, has recorded with the likes of the Boys of the Lough and the Chieftains. Right now she’s touring with Téada, one of the hottest younger bands on the Irish trad scene, featuring Oisin Mac Diarmada

Tab Benoit plays Bearsville next Friday
Louisiana swamp blues legend Tab Benoit visits the Bearsville Theater on Friday, March 10 at 8 p.m. Known for his distinctly bayou take on the blues, Benoit has released no fewer than 15 records since the early ’90s and is widely considered one of the young stars of the genre – the only genre in which a man who reaches 50 this year can be considered a bright young star. The only thing gutsier than his singing voice is his guitar tone. Tickets cost $40 for Gold Circle Reserve, $30 for reserved seating and $20 for general admission (standing). For tickets and additional information, visit www.bearsvilletheater.com. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.
Melvin Seals & JGB play Bearsville next Sunday In his long-running and prolific solo career, the Grateful Dead’s guitarist Jerry Garcia worked with a number of foils in the keyboard chair. These include former Dead keyboardist the late Keith Godchaux, the late organist Merle Saunders and – a survivor – Melvin Seals, who now heads Melvin Seals and the JGB. Seals’ association with Garcia dates back to 1982’s Run for the Roses. He has also recorded with Elvin Bishop, Mickey Thomas, Jefferson Starship and the Marshall Tucker Band.

Learn-to-Row clinics begin on Saturday If you’ve ever watched from the banks of the river and admired the sleek, synchronized movement of a boatful of rowers as they paddle their way along the surface of the water, you can almost feel the power of pure muscle at work. And you might, in the back of your sedentary mind, yearn to join them. You’re in luck: The Hudson River Rowing Association (HRRA) offers free Learn-to-Row clinics on four upcoming Saturdays between March and June. With no previous experience necessary – only the ability to swim – participants can “test the waters” at the HRRA Boathouse, where indoor tanks and rowing machines are set to simulate the feel of rowing out on the river, which could still be frozen for a few more weeks. No problem! Trained rowing coaches lead novice, intermediate and competitive rowing programs and are adept at getting rowers of all ages (middle school and up) and levels up to proficiency. The free Learn-to-Row introductory sessions are two hours long, and participants are invited to tour the boathouse while there. Upcoming sessions will be held on March 4 from noon to 2 p.m., April 1 from 10 a.m. to noon, May 13 from 10 a.m. to noon and June 3 with hours to be determined. Following a progressive theory of learning, rowers are teamed up in groups of people with similar skill levels. This allows them to learn at an appropriate pace, focusing on the skills they need to get to the next level. That next level might just be Rowing 101, an eight-session on-the-water rowing class for curious athletes of all ages. Or it might be the Adult Novice Sweep, an immersion program to master the basics mechanics of rowing and learn the philosophies of rowing: teamwork, teamwork, teamwork! These programs run from May 31 through September. Check the website for session schedules, registration and cost information. Andy Mauer is a volunteer coach and board member who helps to organize programs and develop training plans. “I’m one of the founding members, and I’ve been involved since 1998, when HRRA started. We’re a community rowing club, which means we’re open to all members of the community. All the high schools in Dutchess County have crew teams run by parent clubs, and they operate here in the spring. Then in the summer and fall, our organization runs these other programs, in which we can take 16 to 20 people per session. We put about 100 people through our spring clinics. They are essentially an outreach activity to introduce people to rowing as a sport and to share what we have to offer to a new group.” – Ann Hutton Hudson River Rowing Association, 270 North Water Street, Poughkeepsie; (845) 206-4765, hrraprograms@gmail.com, www.hudsonriverrowing.org/novicelearn-to-row.html.

MOVIE Timely terror Sharp, satiric Get Out rejuvenates thriller genre with sociological spin
M
aybe it’s only because I don’t watch glitzy awards broadcasts consistently enough to have a handle on what passes for “normal,� but last Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony certainly seemed to have more than its share of bizarre moments. Still, in spite of its bewildering climax – forever mangled for the cinema history books by a mundane human error of envelope delivery – one couldn’t help coming away with an optimistic sense that the Hollywood dream factory is budging in the direction of inclusivity. More than ever before, artists of color were recognized for excellent work that broadens and deepens the moviegoing experience for all, copping their fair share of prizes in a field that was by no means lackluster in 2016. That impression was reinforced this week – at the outset of that fallow post-Oscars season when production houses tend to release films deemed less buzzworthy – by the arrival of a brandnew flick that’s pleasing audiences and critics alike. Auspiciously marking the feature directing debut of Jordan Peele, of the Comedy Central sketch team Key & Peele, Get Out is a double threat: a horror movie that’s several cuts above the common run of horror movies, and a biting social satire about race relations that taps into the Trump-era zeitgeist with near-perfect pitch. Let’s proceed from the assumption that what works to make a horror movie scary, besides artful execution, is at least partially based on personal experience. Clowns? Spiders? Corpses? Drowning? Electric knives? Name your poison, and a marketer could easily point you in the direction of a screen experience that will push your phobia buttons. As a confirmed unbeliever in devils and demons, I was merely mildly amused by The Exorcist, a movie usually ranked high among horror “classics.� But as a young woman growing up without a car in a densely populated area where I constantly had to monitor my behavior to avoid exposure to opportunities for sexual assault, I was profoundly creeped out by the hallucinations of the abuse survivor in Polanski’s Repulsion. Now, if you’re a young black man in contemporary America, it’s a fair bet that you may have nightmares about being Trayvon Martin. The thought of getting lost and straying into a gated community with an all-white population and a “neighborhood watch� may do something very unpleasant to your adrenaline levels.

Peele kicks off Get Out on precisely that note, then introduces Daniel Kaluuya as Chris Washington, a highly sympathetic protagonist who happens to be black and happens to have a white girlfriend, Rose Armitage (Allison Williams). In his early 20s and already attracting notice from the art world for his talents as a photographer, Chris lives in what is supposed to be Brooklyn (though the film was shot in Alabama). He is educated, street-smart and gentlemanly, having developed both the sensitive social radar and the thick skin that a young black man needs to acquire in order to negotiate the white-run world without making potentially fatal waves. His best friend Rod (Lil Rel Howery) is a Transportation Security Administration agent predisposed to conspiracy theories, which will eventually become pertinent to the narrative. Chris’s relationship with Rose has reached the point where it’s time to meet her genteel-liberal white family in their posh upstate compound, so off they go for an awkward weekend in the country. The outing begins on an ominous note, with a collision with a deer, and Rose reacts with protective indignation when a state trooper demands identification from Chris, even though she was driving. Turns out that a car wreck and a suspicious skinhead cop are the least of his worries. The Armitages are a peculiar clan, and their rich friends even more so: seemingly benign, but prone to spouting well-intentioned I’m-not-racist clichÊs that embarrass Rose, force Chris to grit his teeth and smile and will likely make white viewers squirm in their seats.

us in the character’s wary intelligence, warm decency and patient forbearance before letting loose the wide-eyed terror of a resourceful man fighting for survival any way he can. Whatever unspeakable horrors may be loosed on the Armitage estate, the queasy ghost of the Stepin Fetchit “scared black man� caricature stays safely buried here. And whatever color you are, you’ll be on Team Chris for sure. Jordan Peele may be a neophyte director, but he handles all his duties here with the visual skill of a real pro and the deft sense of timing so crucial to the success of a comedy writer/performer. Get Out looks great, sounds great. It sucks us in for the thrill ride while it adds new layers of meaning, wit, spark and spunk to a genre that was badly in need of a transfusion. If you’re going to see a horror movie this year at all, make it this one. – Frances Marion Platt

Sometimes the stereotyping is a bit much, but turnabout is fair play; and the movie’s recurring tone of macabre humor makes it all palatable enough if you’ve got a funnybone in your body. Predictably enough for this genre, the strange soon gets stranger and more menacing, as Chris is exposed to the intermittently robotic demeanor of the household’s black housekeeper (Betty Gabriel) and groundskeeper (Marcus Henderson). Once you know that Rose’s father (Bradley Whitford) is a neurosurgeon and her mother (Catherine Keener) a psychiatrist who specializes in hypnosis, you’ll quickly see where all this is going. I suspect that comedians may soon begin to refer to this movie as The Stepford Negroes, the same way we now think of the movie actually titled A Cry in the Dark as Dingoes Ate My Baby. The precise nature of what these privileged white folk envy and crave from their black captives is the screenplay’s most damning insight into racist cultural assumptions. Yes, it’s a genre film that recycles tired tropes; but it does so in a way that makes horror socially relevant and timely, its abundant black humor supported by a terrific score that sounds classy even while it triggers our jump-scares with the traditional screeching strings. All the acting is solid, even when the dialogue gets a mite silly; the standouts are Keener, effectively evoking low-key menace as the untrustworthy nurturer, and Howery supplying comic relief as the wisely alarmist, proactive buddy. In particular, I foresee a solid leadingman career ahead for Kaluuya. The young actor really carries this movie, grounding

ALMANAC WEEKLY
March 2, 2017
HISTORY Mysterious seizures and blinding headaches that developed in his youth (Eleanor said later that she thought he might have had an undiagnosed brain tumor) were compounded in adulthood by depression, a dependence on drugs after an injury, a penchant for pleasure-seeking and, most of all, alcoholism. (It probably didn’t help that he was conscious of being held up against the stellar reputations of his brother and father, and that he didn’t have to work, and could afford to indulge
“The story of Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt is essentially A Tree Grows in Brooklyn on the right side of the tracks.”
Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt, July 1889.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY & MUSEUM
Elliott & Eleanor The Story of a Father and His Daughter in the Gilded Age
“T
he story of Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt is essentially A Tree Grows in Brooklyn on the right side of the tracks,” says Geraldine Hawkins, author of Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Story of a Father and His Daughter in the Gilded Age (Black Dome Press, 2017). The characters in the 1943 book (and later movie), she explains, live in poverty, but other than that, the elements of the story are basically the same: a charismatic, alcoholic father and his sensitive, introspective young daughter who longs for her mother’s attention and ends up aban-
doned by her adored father’s early death. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park will present an author talk and book-signing with Hawkins on Thursday, March 9 at 7 p.m. in the Henry A. Wallace Center. Copies of Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Story of a Father and His Daughter in the Gilded Age will be available. The event is free and open to the public. Hawkins’ book not only delves into the dynamics of Eleanor and Elliott’s father/ daughter relationship and its place within the complex tapestry of the Roosevelt clan, but it also serves as the first fulllength biography of Elliott Roosevelt
(1860-1894), who until now has been a marginal figure in his famously highachieving family. Uniquely situated within the Roosevelts as the younger brother of Theodore, father of Eleanor and even godfather to FDR, Elliott should have had a wonderful life. All the components were there: wealth and privilege and a loving family who expressed their affection for one another openly and easily. He was intelligent, attractive and possessed a strong social conscience instilled in him by his father. He began life with every advantage; but, while Theodore’s ironclad willpower propelled him forward, Elliott fell apart.
himself.) Elliott’s marriage to a beautiful socialite – Eleanor’s mother Anna – seems doomed from the start, with each needing something that the other didn’t have to give. He fathered an illegitimate child with a family servant, born within weeks of his legitimate third child with Anna. By the time he died at just age 34 after a fall from a window (that may or may not have been a suicide attempt), Elliot was a pariah within the Roosevelts, banished to live apart from them, his final years spent with a series of mistresses or in asylums, attempting to dry out but resorting to six or seven bottles of brandy and champagne a day at the end. That summary of Elliott Roosevelt’s life is the stuff of melodrama. It would be easy to dismiss Elliott as a privileged individual who just threw away the advantages that life dealt him at the start. But he had better angels in his nature, too. In taking on the story of this celebrated American family, Hawkins avoids the high pitch, deftly prodding her subjects to discover the opposing forces that worked on them. In much of Elliott and Eleanor, she allows the Roosevelts to tell their story in their own words, using journal entries and correspondence written with that characteristic Victorian-era ardor to get across the essence of who these people were and how they interacted with each other. In the book’s foreword, Pulitzer Prizewinning biographer John Matteson notes that while “Hawkins unflinchingly sets forth all the traits and deeds that would seem to damn [Elliott]… [she also understands] the warmth of spirit, the charm and grace of his persona, and above all the kindness and gentleness of his character – all of which combine to make him, if not particularly admirable, a distinctly forgivable instance of wellmeaning but flawed humanity.” Elliott paid little attention to class boundaries. “He inherited his father’s consideration for working men and servants,” writes Hawkins. “When he heard one of his servants tell another that Elliott had never called anyone a ‘damfool,’ he felt that he had passed ‘the great test.’” When the adult Eleanor “devoted her life to projects that, in her view, contributed to ‘the development of the world,’ she was acting on her father’s legacy.” Father and daughter adored each other, each a port-in-the-storm to the other, a salve to each other’s bruised psyches. “He loved people for the fineness that was in them, and his friends might be newsboys or millionaires,” wrote Eleanor of her father. “Their occupations, their possessions, meant nothing to him, only
March 2, 2017 they themselves counted.” Her relationship with her mother was difficult; Anna openly disparaged her daughter in front of other people, calling her “Granny” because of her shy and solemn ways. Not long after Eleanor’s birth, Anna wrote to Elliott’s sister, “Baby has grown fatter and seems very stupid.” Eleanor remembered at one point being carefully scrutinized by her mother before being told that, since she didn’t have looks, she’d “better have manners.” Her father, on the other hand, was “a very close and warm personality,” wrote Eleanor, “who would look upon my shortcomings with a much more forgiving eye.” He was the person who had loved her best in the world, she maintained, and years after his death, wrote, “He lived in my dreams and does so to this day.” Anna died when Eleanor was eight years old. Elliott died when she was ten. Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt was 17 years in the making, says Hawkins, who worked on the book from 1994 to 2011 in her spare time while working as a journalist and public affairs officer in the US Navy Reserve and as a historic interpreter for the National Park Service. Her work for the latter has taken her to assignments at the FDR site, Eleanor Roosevelt’s Val-Kill and the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park; at the Statue of Liberty and the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York City; and at the JFK National Historic Site and Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House in Massachusetts. She volunteered at the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace site on East 20th Street in New York City. Hawkins grew up in San Pedro, California – her father a career Navy man – and she’s currently based on Staten Island. Hawkins says that she can’t remember a time when she wasn’t interested in US history in general and the Roosevelt family in particular. “I think the thing I love the most about all the Roosevelts, including some of the lesser-known ones – not so much Elliott, because he’s a special case – is just the joy and courage with which they faced the vicissitudes of life. Think of Theodore with his asthma and Franklin with polio, and even Eleanor with her debilitating shyness: They worked their tails off to overcome those things, and they did. It’s not so much that they succeeded in spite of that, but those things really became the irritant that produced the pearls.” – Sharyn Flanagan Author talk/book-signing, Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Story of a Father and His Daughter in the Gilded Age, Thursday, March 9, 7 p.m., free, FDR Presidential Library & Museum, 407 Albany Post Road, Hyde Park; (845) 486-7745, https://fdrlibrary.org.

It’s situated near the Platte Kill Creek in the Platte Clove Preserve: 208 wild, pristine acres of old-growth forests, with trailheads for hiking to Indian Head and Overlook Mountains and the 60-foot Plattekill Falls not far away. These are residencies in the rough: The cabin has electricity, a woodstove, cooktop, oven, refrigerator and telephone, but lousy cell service and no running water. There is an outhouse behind the building. You’ll need to bring your own bedding, groceries and water for drinking and washing. The nearest store is seven miles away, and you’ll need a car; but you won’t want to spend much of that precious creative time running into town. Still undeterred? Great; you have until March 31 to throw your hat in the ring. Visit www.catskillcenter.org/air for the full guidelines and application form. You’ll be asked to submit a letter of intent, résumé, work samples, preferred dates and an application fee. Artists selected for the residency will also be asked to submit artwork completed or inspired during the residency for inclusion in a show at the Catskill Center’s Erpf Gallery. For more info, e-mail Katie Palm at kpalm@catskillcenter.org, call (845) 5862611 or visit the website. Good luck!
Beacon Sloop Club to host “History of Hops in the Hudson Valley” New York State was once the nation’s leader in hops production, but a combination of a mildew disease and Prohibition ended that era. The Pacific Northwest became the epicenter of the American hops industry, but recent changes to New York’s laws governing farm-based breweries, distilleries and cideries – not to mention the burgeoning popularity of hoppy IPAs among craft-beer enthusiasts – are reawakening interest in bringing hops-growing back to the Hudson Valley on a large scale. One of the movers and shakers behind this movement is agricultural consultant Justin Riccobono, the co-founder of Dutchess Hops, co-organizer of the New Farm Network and now head of Hudson Valley Hops. This “Johnny Appleseed of hops” will be giving a talk titled “History of Hops in the Hudson Valley” next Thursday evening at the Beacon Sloop Clubhouse, and admission is free. The latest installment of the Beacon Sloop Club’s 2017 winter lecture series begins at 7 p.m. on March 9. The Clubhouse is located at 2 Flynn Drive (adjacent to the harbor, across from the train station) in Beacon. To find out more, call (845) 463-4660 or (914) 879-1082 or visit www.beaconsloopclub.org.
Norwegian Air announces $65 flights to Ireland, Scotland A flight to Ireland for less than the cost of a bus to Buffalo? Well…not quite. Ever since Norwegian Air announced the insanely low promotional rate of $65 starting July 1 for transatlantic flights from
Stewart Airport to Ireland and Scotland, Hudson Valley hearts have been aflutter with wanderlust. This could be just what those who have grown accustomed to the staycation have been waiting for: a cheap trip, and without the hassle of flying out of one of the big three New York City airports to boot! Destinations include Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh and Shannon (on the West Coast of Ireland). In addition to Stewart, two other airports will be making the same routes: T. F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island and Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut. The move by Norwegian to fly transatlantic flights out of smaller markets is being watched closely by the aviation industry and was strongly opposed by the Airline Pilots’ Association. It’s made possible by the airline’s use of Boeing’s brand-new 737-MAX, a smaller, singleaisle plane with greater fuel efficiency and range, which will make its debut on these routes. Before you get too excited, keep the following in mind: That’s the price for a one-way flight. Assuming you want to go back, you have to pay for a return ticket – likely several hundred dollars. The rates are as low as $65. If there was a flight for that price, we couldn’t find it on the night of the announcement. (It seems that travelers using one of the other two airports are having better luck with that.) From July to September, $219 was the cheapest we found, with most flights ranging between $219 and $279. On Halloween, there’s one for $99 and another for $139 (unlucky day?), with the others in the same range as previous months. During the last two months of the year, the frequency of flights drops, as do the prices, with numerous $99 one-way flights. Even with most round-trips in the $500-to-$600 range, that’s still several hundred dollars cheaper than other flights to Ireland, although you can find flights to Scotland at that price.
Zipcar comes to Metro-North stations in Potown and Beacon Zipcars are now available at Poughkeepsie, Beacon and seven other Metro-North Railroad stations in the Hudson Valley, so passengers can take a Zipcar from the station and travel to tourist destinations and other locations throughout the region. The vehicles are parked at dedicated, clearly marked spaces at station lots. Each Zipcar reservation includes gas, insurance, maintenance and 180 miles of driving per day. Zipcars will be available
at Poughkeepsie, Beacon, North White Plains, Woodlawn, Port Chester, Harrison, Mamaroneck, Pelham and Mount Vernon East. The availability of Zipcars at these stations is part of a new Metro-North program called Ride2Drive, which aims to encourage visitors to travel to the Hudson Valley and at the same time increase mobility for New Yorkers who don’t own cars. Within the next year, the program is expected to expand to an additional 24 Metro-North stations in New York State, both east and west of the Hudson River. Customers can download the MetroNorth train-time app or sign up for MetroNorth service alerts at www.mymtaalerts. com.
Motorcyclepedia’s Keith Jones to give history talk on Friday in Clinton Corners
1930 Excelsior Henderson at Motorcyclepedia
The popularity of the reality-TV series American Chopper, which ran for more than five years on the Discovery Channel, turned the City of Newburgh into an unlikely Mecca for motorcycle enthusiasts. The cable show may have ended its run, but the lure of the home base of Orange County Choppers has not faded: There’s now an 85,000-square-foot museum in Newburgh, called Motorcyclepedia, which displays more than 600 bikes dating back as far as 1897, with a special focus on the Indian motorcycle line. Keith Jones of Hyde Park, an archivist and member of the Board of the Directors of the Motorcyclepedia Museum, has a traveling road show called “The Development of Motorcycles,” which uses the museum’s extensive collections as the basis for an illustrated history of the beloved two-wheeled machines. This Friday, he’ll be coming to the 1777 Creek Meeting House, located at 2433 Salt Point Turnpike in Clinton Corners, to offer a free public presentation, sponsored by the Clinton Historical Society. The program begins at 7:30 p.m. on March 3. For more info, visit www.facebook.com/ events/241738559608496.

THE DEAD BEAT
A visionary in Hyde Park Culinary Institute cemetery is final resting place of Teilhard de Chardin The Dead Beat: An introduction No one dies without leaving a story for us to discover and savor. The Dead Beat intends to search out, find and report those stories. The story may reside in a survivor’s heart or a victim’s last words. It may be legend or it may be fact. It may be recorded in stone or on yellowing newsprint. It may warm the heart or break it. It may explain a lifetime or illuminate a single moment in that lifetime. It may tell us more about the living than the dead, more about ourselves and the way we live than the way that others have died.
H
e was a man ahead of his time: a Jesuit priest, a paleontologist and a philosopher whose writings tried to reconcile science and religion. It’s a battle that goes on today and may never be resolved. But when the history of that battle is written, the name of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin will loom large. Teilhard, who died in 1955 at the age of 73, is buried in a small private cemetery on the grounds of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA); those grounds were owned until 1970 by the Society of Jesus, the formal name of the Jesuit order. The main building of what had been the order’s novitiate, St. Andrew-on-Hudson,
is now the CIA’s Roth Hall. The cemetery has a simple, solemn look that can only be compared to Arlington National Cemetery, though on a much smaller scale. Uniform rows of several hundred bleached-white marble headstones stand in close-order rows. The headstones all carry basic information: the date of birth and date of death, the information rendered in Latin. Despite the cemetery’s uniformity, Teilhard’s headstone was easy to find last week; it was the only one graced by a Christmas wreath. A dozen or so small stones also rested atop the headstone: a practice with ancient Jewish roots that may reflect Teilhard’s ecumenical appeal. A Bearsville couple have been instrumental in keeping Teilhard’s teachings alive locally. More about Jaqueline and Pierre Francois in a bit. Teilhard is sometimes called the Father of the New Age: a description that relies on his optimistic view of the world and where mankind was bound. If that sounds like a dubious honor, here’s what a hard-headed Catholic intellectual and author of her day had to say him: “It is doubtful,” Flannery O’Connor wrote, “if any Christian of this century can be fully aware of his religion until he has seen it in the cosmic light which Teilhard has cast upon it.” By all accounts, the modesty of Teilhard’s final resting place perfectly suited his personality. That modesty, and his ability to withstand the relentless questioning and censoring of his writings by his religious superiors, were sorely tested throughout his life. He may have been the quietest, most obedient religious rebel of the last century. Teilhard was a young priest when he witnessed World War I as a stretcherbearer. He was later awarded the Legion of Honor for his valor. It was on the battlefield, he later wrote, that he had his first “meeting…with the Absolute.” His religious, not to say spiritual and perhaps mystical, life never waned as he became more and more fascinated with exploring the origins of man through the twin lenses
He may have been the quietest, most obedient religious rebel of the last century.

Author William Peter Blatty said that he modeled the character of Father Merrin, the elderly priest/paleontologist played by his lookalike, actor Max von Sydow, in the screen adaptation of Blatty’s best-seller, The Exorcist, on Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. More recently, Teilhard’s reputation has been polished by such eminent authorities as Pope Francis.

Those new planets at Trappist 1: Why you should ignore them
L
ast week, my editor at the Old Farmer’s Almanac asked if I wanted to do a blog about the NASA announcement of a string of newfound exoplanets, all Earth-sized. Up to three million people read that blog, and I have a sense that the public loves that story. But I said no. That’s because there’s a big gulf between the public’s “take” and my own. To the public, exoplanets are exciting if they’re similar to Earth. And finding life somewhere out there would be the coolest possible thing. I see it differently. Item One: Very few really seem to care about extraterrestrial “life” per se. Influenced by decades of sci-fi, they care about finding intelligent life that could communicate with us. Or else scary life. Or perhaps adorable life, such as extraterrestrial puppies or kittens. But ET versions of moss? Lichens? Bacteria? They’d shrug. I saw this firsthand. A few decades ago, NASA director Dan Goldin, surrounded by a science team, announced they’d found ironclad evidence of Martian life. He said that a Martian meteorite named ALH84001, which had crashed into Antarctica 16,000 years ago, contained fossilized life. Did people call their friends and go, “Turn on the news! They found life on Mars”? Did people talk about this at the office water cooler the next day? No. There was a collective yawn. (Turned out it was a false alarm, but that’s not the point.) A New York Times editorial last week captured the “vibe” when it wondered, “Is there any body out there?” But, if experts are right, and pond scum is more likely than any alien “bodies,” would that count as “anybody?” And what about earthly life? Human activities are bringing 200 species to extinction every day – every day! They’re gone for keeps! How many are up in arms about it? So, are scientists really correct when they assume widespread fascination about plant life or micro-organisms on a distant planet? I doubt it, even if us science nerds will love it. We want to know, for example, if alien life exhibits the same molecular chirality as all Earthly life – whether their proteins and sugars all curve around in a strictly right- or left-handed fashion, the way ours do – indicating a common origin. Stuff like that.
Human activities are bringing 200 species to extinction every day
his contention, written in several books over the ensuing decades, that mankind was fated to spiral toward a final point of “divine unification” that he called “the Omega Point.” He argued (and none of his superiors agreed) that this Omega Point resembled the Christian Logos – Christ – who drew all things to him, who, in the words of the Nicene Creed, was “true God from true God.” Teilhard’s magnum opus, The Phenomenon of Man, was finally published after being banned by the Church and even his usually-more-liberal Jesuit superiors during his lifetime. Years later, as the ’60s rolled through Western culture and anything mystical found a home in the minds and hearts of young people searching for new ways, his book became an underground classic. More exactly, the saintly Teilhard joined the decade’s panoply of rebellious cultural heroes. In 1967, no less an authority than bishop Fulton J. Sheen, a popular TV
Item Two: We’ve known for decades that there are a billion Earth-sized planets in our galaxy. We’ve already found and catalogued thousands – even an exoplanet orbiting the nearest star. Thus, finding a bunch of them around a tiny star a whopping 40 light years away is more of the same. It’s information, but it’s only marginally revelatory. Personally, I mostly love that these newfound planets orbit in simple 3:5-type resonances with each other. They’re linked, the way our own Pluto and Neptune are, with their 2:3 orbital periods (meaning, Pluto circles the Sun exactly twice while Neptune orbits three times). Now let’s say we study their atmospheres and find that one has oxygen, which would only take a few years to discover. That means that life is likely. That would indeed be interesting. We’d of course want to learn more. Unfortunately, we cannot learn anything more without sending a probe. Our fastest current rockets would need over a thousand years to get there. Let’s say we find a way to do it in just two centuries (even then it would face a high chance of failure). Meantime, what happens when there’s a lack of knowledge about a hot, popular topic? The crazies come out: the psychics claiming they’ve been contacted; the pseudoscientific essays; the publicity-seekers. Always happens. We’ll have centuries of claims and speculation. So visualize the situation if we learn that there’s life, but we know nothing more, as years and decades go by. Does this sound gratifying – or frustrating? It’s science, and it’s interesting; but I’m trying to find a happy ending here. Good thing I passed on that blog. I’m sounding curmudgeonly. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

student of Teilhard’s teachings, which are preserved and studied by several international societies such as the Teilhard Project: groups devoted to keeping his work alive. “It was incredible what he accomplished, despite being censored all his life,” she said last week. The couple launched an effort, on the 60th anniversary of his death, to arrange a visit to his gravesite by Pope Francis. They cited Teilhard’s “profound love of God and a profound love of the natural elements of the Earth” as reasons for commemorating the priest. Such a visit, they said, would also provide “compensation for all that Father Teilhard endured during his lifetime.” “The visit was not to be,” Jacqueline said. Teilhard has returned to what her husband called “the natural elements of the Earth,” and that’s what she intends to cultivate, happily, at the priest’s gravesite. For more than a decade, she and her husband have tended Teilhard’s grave. It

was she who placed the Christmas wreath that will lie there until she refreshes the site with a springtime arrangement. On her husband’s memorial card, Jacqueline has included the couple’s favorite quotation of Teilhard’s, a quotation written in 1936 that gives a sweet, small indication of the man’s thoughts and the reason why those thoughts have survived for so long: “Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” – Jeremiah Horrigan

St. Baldrick’s Day in Saugerties
P
eople often sympathize with me about my own cancer journey, but honestly, what upsets me more than anything I’m dealing with is the lack of research funding available for pediatric cancer. Whether or not cancer has yet touched your family directly, we can all be a part of this super-special fundraiser organized by an incredible local woman, Gloria Darmanin. St. Baldrick’s Day Ulster County 2017 takes place this Sunday, March 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Saugerties Senior Center. Gloria is passionate about community service, and she makes a real difference to families near and far. Why does she do it? “Knowing my friends have buried their child (imagine that!), knowing people are hooked up to machines without an idea of what comes next, instead of being at a birthday party, knowing that their little lives are being robbed of childhood and innocence, knowing that these kids are our future, people are hurting, and I am human, and knowing that any of us – let me repeat, any of us – can wake up tomorrow to news that changes our lives forever, is more than enough reason to me!” The money raised at St. Baldrick’s Day Ulster County 2017 funds pediatric cancer research, so that effective treatments and cures can be developed with fewer side effects. Activities at this family-friendly fundraiser include a very tempting raffle, energized dance performances, face-painting, relaxing chair massages, incredible baked goods and, of course, the signature volunteer headshavings: I’m talking over 100 kids and adults willingly showing camaraderie with bald kids and losing their ’dos! So wear your St. Baldrick’s green-and-gold colors, and get ready for a great day that makes an even greater difference! Tell Gloria that Erica sent you.

SESAME STREET LIVE IN POUGHKEEPSIE
H
ave you ever felt like Cookie Monster does here? “That what wrong with the media today. All they have is questions, questions, questions. They never have cookies.” You and your kids ages 1 to 6 years can see their favorite characters, enjoy a terrific soundtrack, fun choreography and special effects at Sesame Street Live: Make a New Friend taking place at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center this weekend! Performances take place Friday, March 3 at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, March 4 at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Sunday, March 5 at 1 p.m. As this is the first live show for many children, I suggest talking to them about the experience beforehand, including the fact that the characters will seem larger, human-sized to them, and that the action all takes place in front of them onstage, not on a television or a computer screen. Tickets cost $18, $25 or $35 (for Gold Circle seats); $65 for the VIP Sunny Seats package, which gives premium seating along with a Meet & Greet before the show with two Sesame Street Live friends, including Elmo; $8 or $13 (for Gold Circle seats) for daycare or school groups of ten or more; and $26.25 per person for a Me + 3 four-pack. The Mid-Hudson Civic Center is located at 14 Civic Center Plaza in Poughkeepsie. For tickets or more information, call (800) 745-3000 or visit www.midhudsonciviccenter.org. To learn more about the show, visit www.sesamestreetlive.com. – Erica Chase-Salerno

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Fun with fungi It’s not hard to grow – and regrow – your own oyster mushrooms
M
ove over shiitakes, you fancy, reputedly healthful mushrooms offered on supermarket shelves and at farmers’ markets at high prices. Make way for oyster mushrooms. Many of us have chosen to grow shiitakes rather than pay the high prices for them. This means laying in a stock of freshly cut hardwood logs and riddling them with holes that are plugged with inoculated dowel pieces, then sealed with wax. A dose of patience is also needed for homegrown shiitakes, even after going through all that trouble, because a year is needed until first harvest. My logs, from two and three years ago, yielded mushrooms last spring and autumn. But those logs are sleeping now; what about mushrooms now? Enter oyster mushrooms. Oyster mushrooms are much more cosmopolitan about their nourishment. And planted now, harvest could begin within a few weeks. The basics of growing any mushroom are the same: You inoculate a substrate (some material high in cellulose) with purchased or homegrown mushroom spawn. Fungal threads colonize the substrate and then – after a certain amount of time, or in response to some stimulation, such as being dunked in water – mushrooms pop out of the surface of the substrate. In between short rests, they’ll pop out repeatedly until the substrate is exhausted. Then you start again with a new inoculation.
The nice thing about growing oyster mushrooms on coffee grounds is that there’s no need to purchase new spawn when production slows.
A few years ago, I grew oyster mushrooms on nothing more than a fresh roll of toilet paper, which provided a conveniently configured source of cellulose. I got the spawn for inoculation from Field & Forest Products (their TeePee™ kit). All that’s needed is to pour boiling water over a roll of fresh toilet paper, let excess water drain off and then put the roll into the plastic bag that is provided. I inoculated, as directed, by filling the center tube with the mushroom spawn and sealed the bag closed. Every once in a while I opened the bag to mist the inside with water, and watch the fungus grow its way out into the paper. After colonization was complete, mushrooms started popping up from the top of the roll. Okay, my wife did express some aversion to eating food growing out of toilet paper. And the whole setup, admittedly, is not really all that attractive. Not to give up on winter mushrooms, I could try growing oyster mushrooms on another readily available substrate: coffee grounds, a waste product from coffeeshops, bakeries and fast-food joints. I also remember a previous foray into “espresso mushrooms” a few years ago. The Pohu strain of oyster mushrooms is among the best for coffee grounds. To inoculate, you just break up and mix the spawn – a compressed mass mixed with 7pm-10pm Live Jazz at Lydia’s.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY
The Pohu strain of oyster mushrooms is among the best for coffee grounds.
sawdust – with (clean) hands and/or a knife in with the coffee grounds. The mixture then goes into a (clean) bucket having drainage holes, which, after a thorough watering, is covered with the plastic bag. After sitting in a bright location and being misted daily, the coffee grounds become covered with fuzzy white fungal threads. Within a few weeks, fat mushrooms swell up from the substrate, ready for harvest when their caps become just concave. In my previous experience with espresso mushrooms, I remember an invasion of fruit flies having a field day on and in the coffee grounds. Or were they fungus gnats? Avoiding overwatering should keep fungus gnats in check, and fruit fly season is past, so espresso mushrooms are worth another try. The nice thing about growing oyster mushrooms on coffee grounds is that there’s no need to purchase new spawn when production slows. A nice chunk of the exhausted coffee grounds can be used to inoculate some fresh grounds. The cleaner everything that comes into contact with the spawn and the substrate right from the start, the less chance for contamination and the longer the process can be kept going. It can become an indoor game: to see how many oyster mushroom cycles can be grown before new spawn is needed again. In addition, of course, there’ll be some tasty harvests. Now that I think of it, I could be sitting down to a meal with fresh shiitakes: Just fool some logs into thinking it’s spring – which it is, in my greenhouse. I’ll move a couple of logs in there, where I’ll bet the warmth and high humidity will soon pop out some mushrooms. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

Why do our ads look different? Because there is plenty of competition in the real estate business. If you find yourself modeling your business and marketing strategies after everyone else you see, it’s time to step outside the box. I believe in finding what makes you unique and help potential clients see that. I wanted my ads to reflect my true feelings about human nature and my personal philosophy, so I write these messages that appear at in each ad. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them. I also know that real estate is the art of becoming a valuable advisor not a salesperson, so call and let me know what YOU are thinkWi nM ing too! o r rison

Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most faithful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).
