Good form can be fun Fred Mayo & Michael G old to discuss Modern American Manners in Gardiner and New Paltz

T

able manners: Time was, they told the tale. They were the measure of a man or woman who wanted to impress someone else, who wanted to make a statement without saying a word, wanted a job or a promotion. It wasn’t a matter for discussion or debate. Manners were what you grew up learning and practicing. They were an essential component of being an adult.

For reasons that aren’t difficult to fathom, manners – at least the hardand-fast rules of etiquette championed

by Emily Post and her disciples – have been in eclipse for some time. Blame whomever or whatever you choose; you know it’s true.

But that eclipse is passing, according to Fred Mayo. The need for manners has never been more acute. If you think of manners not as a set of rules, but simply as a way of behaving toward others, you need only spend five minutes on the internet to recognize its necessity. You’ll see a lot of online rants about the lack of civility and patience and attention and care. But while others rant, Mayo has done something MICHAEL GOLD

about it. He has written, together with photographer Michael Gold, Modern American Manners: Dining Etiquette for Hosts and Guests: a book not of rules, but of examples, good and bad; a guidebook, if you will, that illustrates the need for and ultimate rewards of good table manners.

No one who knows Mayo could confuse him with the stereotypical image of the prim, rule-spewing Miss Thistlebottoms whom the word “manners” may conjure. Mayo has an extensive academic background. He’s a retired clinical professor of Hospitality and Tourism at New York University. If he resembles any sort of a certain breed, it’s that of the bon vivant, the guy who enjoys a good time, who is both consumer and skilled provider of such.

To Mayo, manners are a gate that, once opened, can lead to all the things that

Now, more than ever, we are inspired by a girl whose words changed the world.

previous generations expected manners to deliver. But more important than a job or a promotion, Mayo sees manners as a path to nothing less than fun.

The book was written, he said, primarily with students entering the workplace in mind, but also with an eye toward people from all walks of life who want or need to know how to conduct themselves in restaurants, at dinner parties, even on dates. The book covers a wide range of expectable conditions and situations, from a variety of viewpoints, be you a guest or a host.

Though Mayo suggests, as any author would, that the book be read from start to finish, it’s constructed so that, when a particular need or question arises, you can flip through it and use it as a guidebook.

It can also fulfill its aim of being fun by being opened at random.

For example: My eye was caught by an early chapter titled “Conduct Becoming a Guest.” Since I’m much more likely to be a guest than the host of a dinner party, I was drawn there, and was tickled to find some (illustrated) examples of poor manners,

ALMANAC WEEKLY

March 30, 2017 offered herewith as a free public service: Do not chew food with your mouth open.

Do not blow your nose at the dinner table, and certainly not into the dinner napkin.

Do not slurp your soup.

Nothing revolutionary there, you say. But further on in the chapter, there’s an aspect of dinner partying that everyone fears but no one has written about, until now: what to do in “awkward situations.” Mayo lists and deals with burping, sneezing, leaving the table to take a call and passing gas.

It may surprise you, as it did me, to be reminded that burping at the table is acceptable behavior in the Middle East and Asia. Anywhere else, you’re best advised to stifle it as best you can.

Further on, the chapter on business settings includes a list of foods to avoid ordering at business events. These include any food that requires using your hands instead of a knife and fork (away, artichokes! farewell, chicken wings! take a hike, Mister Mussel!) Also, watch out for French onion soup, ribs and oversize sandwiches. If you need any explanation for those suggestions, you definitely need this book.

It may go without saying, but I’ll say it nonetheless: No book that Fred Mayo writes can be dull or predictable.

Encompassing and surprising, yes; entertaining and informative, you bet. But dull? Easy to put down? Nope. Where’s the fun in that?

Fred Mayo and Michael Gold will give a book talk, explain how the book was written and what it’s all about at the Gardiner Library on Sunday, April 2 at 2:30 p.m. There will also be a book launch, book talk and book-signing at Garvan’s Gastropub pavilion in New Paltz on Thursday, April 13 from 7 to 9 p.m.

RSVP is necessary to mayoconsulting@ aol.com.

Board-game café to open in Hudson

THE GAME OF LIFE | WILL FOLSOM

This is one of those “If-you-build-it, they-will-come” stories. If you have the dream of a place where people can play together while noshing; and if you love board games and friendly competition and thought-provoking, skillbuilding escapism; and if you manage to generate the financial backing and the internal stamina to get through planning, building permits, licenses and procurement – they, the gamers and noshers, will show up.

This is the hope of Kathleen Miller, a board-game enthusiast who has taken all the above steps to bring the House Rules Café to Hudson. “I’ve been involved in opening businesses before, but this is the first time doing it from the ground up and doing it on my own,” she says. “And I’m going to be picky in hiring staff because, in a business like this, it’s all about how you interact with the customer. They need instructions on how to play a game or recommendations for games. I want people who have a ton of experience in customer service and food service. I can teach them how to play the games.”

Working for more than a decade in the food and wine industries, Miller wanted to go with a family-friendly, activity-based sort of business in Hudson. She launched a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier in the year, which was a great success; not

only did she and husband Joel Holtzman raise enough to address all the basic aspects of starting this Columbia Street business, they garnered lots of enthusiasm for the new venture from the community, too.

The City of Hudson is like that.

Denizens of Warren Street like to drink beer while they shop for books or peruse motorcycle gear with their morning brew.

It’s only natural, Miller figures, that people will want to lounge in a comfy corner over a cup of tea or glass of cider while they play a round of Fluxx or Cards against Humanity or good old Monopoly.

Her planned menu is also designed for comfort: hot and cold sandwiches, New England-style frappes and milkshakes, coffee from Thrive Farmers, loose-leaf tea from both Adagio Teas and Verdigris.

With a license for alcohol, Miller will add artisan wine, beer and cider.

About the games: So far, at least 70 games will be available to choose from, and Miller is shooting for up to 250 titles. She says that the collection is being carefully curated to offer games for all ages, experience levels and preferences: everything from the best-known family games to strategy-heavy, multi-hour popculture epics.

Cafés dedicated to board games are a

relatively new thing. Miller says that the first one she heard about is in Toronto: a place called Snakes and Lattes. “I wanted to figure out some way to integrate my lifelong career in food and wine with my love of all-things-nerdy and my desire to do something a little different, and yet not compete with all these amazing restaurants and bars in town.”

Board-game cafés generally charge for either a daily, weekly or monthly pass options for customers to access their catalogue of board games. At House Rules, there will be a $5 charge to pull a game off the library shelf, and customers can play all day if they’ve got the time. A kid corner will be stocked with books, games and non-battery toys where the younger set can hang out within view of their parents.

House Rules is set to open on April 29.

Miller will serve coffee, tea and New Yorkstyle bagels for takeout breakfast; game time runs Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Miller invites you to put down technology and go analog for a while.

One of the most famous ballets ever performed, Swan Lake premiered in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theater, and features music composed by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow during a transitional period in the late 1980s, when many of the great dancers and choreographers of the Soviet Union’s ballet institutions were starting new, vibrant companies dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical Russian Ballet but to invigorating new traditions from around the world. Legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko is the founder of the Russian National Ballet Theatre, and she has focused the Company on upholding the grand national tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new talents throughout Russia.

March 31 - April 9 8pm Fri & Sat • 3pm Sun Tickets: $24/$22 • $20 tickets at the door Rhinebeck Theatre Society presents this inventive black comedy.

“Beethoven, Schubert and the Anxiety of Influence” Dr. Jeffrey Langford and Dr. Joanne Polk

Saturday, May 13, 2017 @ 2:00 pm Piano Performance Museum Doctorow Center for the Arts 7971 Main Street, Village of Hunter Tickets Purchased Ahead: $10; $7 students At the Door: $12; $7 students

Ludwig van Beethoven was understood to have brought Classical music to the height of perfection while at the same time creating his own personal revolution that pushed the limits of serious art music in new directions. Composers who followed in his footsteps all felt the influence of this giant on their own work, and as a result, had to address the question of how to create something new after Beethoven had seemingly done all that could be done with the Classical style. Schubert was one of those composers who struggled with the anxiety caused by working in the shadow of Beethoven and needing to find a solution to the question of what to do next.

Catskill Mountain Foundation is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts, the Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation, the Samuel and Esther Doctorow Fund, The Greene County Legislature through the Cultural Fund administered by the Greene County Council on the Arts, Bank of Greene County, Greene County Youth Fund, Marshall & Sterling, Stewart’s Shops, Windham Foundation and by private donations.

Father Winfried (Peter Simonischek) and daughter Ines (Sandra HĂźller) in Toni Erdmann. In the ďŹ lm, Winfried impulsively decides to pay his ambitious daughter a birthday visit, unannounced. Ines’ ďŹ lial tolerance quickly wears thin, and Winfried contritely offers to go home.

Yes, there is a female character at the heart of Toni Erdmann. Her name is Ines Conradi, magnificently, unlikably, fearlessly played by Sandra Hßller. She’s an ambitious, humorless, late-30ish dealmaker for a consulting firm whose job is to take the heat for heartless decisions that big corporations need to make financially, but for which they don’t want to be held responsible morally (bad PR,

you know). Specifically, Ines has to sell outsourcing on a massive scale. She’s very good at it, but it gives her no joy. Neither does her sex life with a colleague (Trystan Pßtter), which is passionless on her part and devoid of intimacy. No, joy is her Papa’s line of work, and saving Ines’ soul from her deadening career is his mission.

Papa is Winfried Conradi, a semiretired German music teacher sometimes adopting the puckish persona of Toni Erdmann. He’s lovingly, skillfully portrayed by Peter Simonischek, who has some of the look of the older Gerard DÊpardieu: a lumbering, baby-faced hulk of a man gone grizzled and battered with age, but still able to conjure a bit of

charm when needed. (Or picture a very Teutonic version of the Dude from The Big Lebowski.) Long divorced from Ines’ mother, Winfried guards his sensitivity and loneliness under the many masks of a compulsive practical joker. How such a driven, tightly wound daughter issued from the loins of such a laid-back, playful, creative goofball of a dad is a mystery that we are given no flashbacks to solve – not so much as a baby picture on a mantle.

Ade’s story mostly unfolds over the course of a couple of weeks in Bucharest, where Ines is feverishly trying to consummate a tricky business negotiation on which she has been hyperfocused for the better part of a year. After his beloved ancient dog dies, Winfried impulsively decides to pay his daughter a birthday visit, unannounced. He begins to stalk her at work, blundering into her carefully orchestrated business schmoozing and blurting out innocently awkward things.

Ines’ filial tolerance quickly wears thin, and Winfried contritely offers to go home. But then he dons a fright wig and jagged false teeth and reappears in her life as Erdmann, claiming to be a life coach working with the petrochemical big fish she’s after, Henneberg (Michael Wittenborn). All hell, predictably, breaks loose – and in time, so does Ines.

John Hurt as Winston Smith in 1984 film version of 1984

FILM

1984 in Rhinebeck Watch Big Brother, even while Big Brother is watching you during this nationally-planned event

I

t speaks volumes about the tenor of the times that several classic novels about totalitarian dystopias have shot to the top of the best-seller list and hovered there since Election Day: Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Handmaid’s Tale, Lord of the Flies…and of course George Orwell’s dark masterpiece, 1984. On April 4 – honoring the date on which Orwell’s protagonist Winston Smith begins rebelling against his government by keeping a forbidden diary – dozens of movie theaters, libraries, museums and bookstores across the country will participate in a national screening event, presenting Michael Radford’s film adaptation of 1984, made in 1984. John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton and Cyril Cusack star.

Upstate Films in Rhinebeck will join the national screening by presenting the classic movie at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4. A second screening of 1984, scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 9, will be offered at the Rhinebeck theater as part of the ongoing “Fiction into Film” discussion series sponsored by Oblong Books. A book group discussion will follow; to sign up for the group, visit www.oblongbooks.com/event/fiction-film-book-group-1984.

Ticket prices for both screenings are $10 general admission, $8 for seniors and students and $6 for Upstate Films members.

To order, call (845) 876-2515 or visit http://upstatefilms.org. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck.

The genius in this very long (162 minutes) film is the slow, exquisite way in which these two characters blossom. Winfried/ Toni’s transition from Most Embarrassing Dad in All of Europe to Ines’ lucky charm happens every bit as gradually as it needs to, in order to ground this tall tale in reality. The delight is in the unfolding, and in the superb work of the two lead actors.

As an estranged-family-coming-toterms drama, Toni Erdmann is genuinely touching, in a way that sneaks up on you without ever becoming the least bit saccharine. The director has been quoted as saying that she doesn’t understand why critics and audiences describe the film as a comedy, since it’s built on a foundation of deep melancholy, of the ubiquity of human isolation in the modern world.

Overlying that is a thick, tasty slab of really dark satire about Americandominated corporate globalism and the sorry state of the EU. While Toni Erdmann’s cinematography doesn’t call much attention to itself, its most striking visual images involve glimpses from the sanitized urban perches of high finance into the grubby backyards of a Bucharest that hasn’t yet recovered from the Ceausescu regime: For all its embrace of NATO and the euro, Romania still looks, fundamentally, like a Third World country. Winfried sees the people, tunes into their warmth and generosity; Ines does not.

Without ever straying into the territories of science fiction or magic realism, in its bitter, sometimes squirm-inducing humor, Toni Erdmann evokes some of the more dystopian works of Terry Gilliam.

Though he’s not nearly as mad, there’s something of Parry, the character played

by Robin Williams in The Fisher King, in Winfried/Toni. In fact, on my drive home from the cinema I found myself musing that two or three decades ago, when American studios were snapping up the rights to produce execrable remakes of small, quirky European comedy films, Robin Williams would probably have

wanted to reinvent the character in the Hollywood version. Only after Googling Toni Erdmann afterwards did I discover that a remake is indeed in the works, with Jack Nicholson signed to portray the flaky father.

No one plays “the Jack Nicholson character” better than himself, it’s true.

It might work – maybe. Or maybe the actor just liked the ugly false teeth gag, and wants to pay homage to the start of his own screen career as the masochistic dental patient in the 1960 non-musical version of Little Shop of Horrors. If you want to catch Simonischek’s brilliant, not-too-over-the-top embodiment of Winfried/Toni in the original, be advised that Upstate Films in Rhinebeck has decided to screen Toni Erdmann for one more week. It’s well worth the two-anda-half-hour sit.

sionists’ gaze. For the next two weekends, Time & Space, Ltd. (TSL) in Hudson will use the occasion to continue its ongoing Exhibitions on Screen series with presentations of two new documentary films on the subject: I, Claude Monet and The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism.

Based on the artist’s personal letters, I, Claude Monet (2017, 1:27) reveals new insight into the man who not only painted the picture that gave birth to Impressionism, but also was perhaps the most influential painter of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It will be screened at TSL at 6:15 p.m. this Thursday and Friday, March 30 and 31; at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, April 1; and at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, April 2.

Drawing on an exhibition by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Artist’s Garden: American Impressionism (2017, 1:30) relates how, as Europe recoiled against Monet, Degas and Renoir, Americans embraced their aesthetic and began to create their own style of Impressionism. In 1886, a French art dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, brought his Impressionist paintings to New York, changing the course of art in the US forever. Americans cheered the French new wave: painting outdoors with a newfound brilliance and vitality. It’s a story closely tied to the love of gardens and the desire to preserve nature in a rapidly urbanizing nation. Screening times for The Artist’s Garden are at 8 p.m. this Thursday and Friday, March 30 and 31; at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 1; at 6:15 p.m. on Sunday, April 2; and at 5 p.m. next Saturday, April 8.

Tickets to all screenings cost $9 general admission, $7 for TSL members and students. To order, call the box office at (518) 822-8100 or visit http:// timeandspace.org/calendar. TSL is located at 434 Columbia Street in Hudson.

his work with the Herd, Frampton really staked his claim as premier secondgeneration British Invasion guitarist with Steve Marriott’s post-Small Faces project Humble Pie, from which he departed after two albums. “Artistic differences” were cited in the split, but it didn’t take a genius to see that Frampton was an A-list rock star waiting to happen –

Peter Frampton in 1980 (directly above) and in 2017 (top right).

or at least a contender worth banking on – and he had completed the required apprenticeships. As Frampton was getting his solo career off the ground in the patient way that was still allowed back then, he made studio contributions to a few epochal records, including George Harrison’s masterpiece All Things Must Pass and Harry Nilsson’s essential Son of Schmilsson.

The archetypal quadruple threat –

singer, songwriter, ace guitarist and all-around good-looker – Frampton’s formidable talents receive their fullest expression not on the best-selling live double album, but three years earlier on the career-defining Frampton’s Camel, a mature, proof-of-concept statement record that displays Frampton working comfortably in numerous styles. In his rich singing and steady, lyrical guitar playing, there’s an unpretentious, agreeable

Likability and an impeccably sturdy basic skill set went a long way at the dawn of the singer/songwriter age. Those antecedents, and that essential likability, set the stage for one of most extreme popculture explosions in rock history to date.

I lived through it. Frampton Comes Alive, with its full-face cover, was ubiquitous.

In terms of sales, it keeps company with Rumours, Thriller and a tiny handful of others.

I was once told that Hootie and the Blowfish got dropped from their label because their sophomore album sold only three million copies. (No record will ever sell three million copies again.) Frampton came down with 1977’s I’m in You, the market performance of which would have been exceptional, had he not blown the curve the year before.

CONCERT

BABETTE HIERHOLZER & JÜRGEN APPELL PLAY PIANO FOUR HANDS THIS SUNDAY AT KAATSBAAN

A

s part of its Music Inspires Dance Series, Kaatsbaan presents the return of Duo Lontano – two decorated and internationally known pianists, Babette Hierholzer and Jürgen Appell – on Sunday, April 2 at 2:30 p.m. Duo Lontano was created in 2004 when Appell and Hierholzer began collaborating with a focus on the extensive repertoire of four-hand/two-piano music.

In 2010, Appell and Hierholzer performed a program for two pianos at the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center and the Catskill Music Festival. In December of the same year, they received an invitation to Caracas, Venezuela to perform Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E-Flat Major, KV 365, with the celebrated Orquesta Juveníl Simón Bolivar, conducted by maestro Gustavo Dudamel. In March 2016, they received an invitation to Havana, Cuba to perform Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals for two pianos and orchestra with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacionál de Cuba, conducted by Enrique Perez Mesa, in addition to a series of four-hand recitals. In 2015, Duo Lontano released a CD containing four-hand works by Felix Mendelssohn, including Mendelssohn’s own transcription of his String Octet.

The duo’s Kaatsbaan program spans the centuries, featuring works by Johann Pachelbel, J. S. Bach, Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, Ernesto Lecuona and Richard Wagner. Admission costs $30 for adults, $10 for Student Rush and children.

Kaatsbaan is located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli. For more information, visit www.kaatsbaan.org.

abetted Frampton’s fall from the needle point of rock’s commercial pinnacle.

But you’d never know it from Frampton himself. His steadiness, good humor and unforced modesty have made him the kind of fellow who could withstand that kind of trip with his ego and integrity intact. He has continued to tour and to make solid records such as 2010’s fine Thank You, Mr. Churchill, and to enjoy

telling his remarkable story in a way that the kids today would call “relatable.”

The Bardavon presents “Peter Frampton RAW: An Acoustic Tour” at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston on Saturday, April 8 at 8 p.m. Touring in support of his 2016 release Acoustic Classics, Frampton will perform with longtime collaborator Gordon Kennedy as well

as with his son, Julian Frampton. All seats are reserved; tickets cost $45 to $85 (members get $5 off ). They are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 3396088; or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

Rootbrew performs at Snug Harbor in New Paltz on Friday, March 31 at 10 p.m. Beach Creatures are set to open.

Snug Harbor is located at 38 Main Street in New Paltz. For more information about Rootbrew, visit https://rootbrew. bandcamp.com.

The transformation of the long-vacant 22,000-square-foot industrial structure, situated in the Queen City’s midtown between the eastbound and westbound sides of the Route 44/55 arterial, is now complete, and tenants will begin to move into its 15 residential apartments in April. It is hoped that this ambitious adaptive reuse project will pump some badly needed vitality into a long-neglected neighborhood.

This Thursday, March 30, the Underwear Factory’s commercial and arts spaces will be unveiled to the general public with a grand opening running from 2 to 6 p.m. The event will include tours of the historic building, light snacks in the Poughkeepsie Open Kitchen, coffee from North River Roasters, studio visits with resident artists, information on Spark Media Project/Mill Street Loft programs and more.

You majored in Philosophy in college.

How did this influence you as an artist, and what did you do prior to committing yourself to art?

Philosophy is teaching you how to think and analyze. I chose a lot of Philosophy courses that were somewhat political and got involved in different activist groups on campus, including several feminist and LGBTQ groups.

I knew that when I left college, I wanted to do something that mattered – to use

In 1994/95 I volunteered at a soup kitchen in Washington, DC with the Brethren Volunteer Service. They’re like a domestic Peace Corps: They give you room and board and you get a small stipend. The issues were always about homelessness, mental illness, alcoholism and financial struggles. I met so many wonderful people, both volunteers and people who ate there, and it opened my eyes to the immense poverty in this country.

acinta Bunnell’s colorful collages and paintings evolve out of scribbled or patterned surfaces, be they worn gameboards, faded coloring books, old letters and ledgers, the pages of children’s encyclopedias, flash cards, scraps of fabric or even, in the case of her series A Life Well-Played, daily scorecards supplied by her stepfather from a rummy card game whose origins date back to her maternal grandparents and their Florida trailer park. Bunnell revels in the odd synchronies that occur in her collaborations with other artists, whether it’s the visual duet that she and Cindy Hoose executed in the Kinda the Same series, in which paintings by each were hung at an exhibition at the Rosendale Café in pairs, chiming and contrasting in a harmony riven with atonal notes, or her riffs off children’s art in “Shy as a Shrimp,” a show at the Kingston gallery KMoCA in which she displayed each brightly hued artwork over the juvenile piece that inspired it. The hokey element of craft in her work is endearing, rather than cloying, thanks to her narrative inventiveness and strengths as a colorist; alternately lush and transparent, bright and subdued, sizzling and somber, the works suggest Indian miniatures and Matisse in their masterful chromatic juxtapositions.

Bunnell, who grew up in a small town outside Scranton, Pennsylvania and graduated from Bucknell University, has also shown her work at the Allegheny College Art Galleries, Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, SUNY-Ulster, TeamLove Ravenhouse Gallery in New Paltz and Roos Arts in Rosendale. She is the author of four coloring books that feature gay and transgender characters and has toured the US and Canada to

room with corner woodburning stove seem lifted from one of her pieces.

Bunnell “believes in real handwriting, iced tea, small towns, lip syncing, her mom’s fruitcake and having the same best friend since you are two,” a nostalgic look back to a simpler time. But Bunnell is no sentimentalist; her traditional homespun values are leavened with her ardent feminism and activism on behalf of underserved youth, especially those who are queer and transgender: a population she connected with as a community health educator for Planned Parenthood as well as teacher and childcare provider.

Almanac Weekly's Lynn Woods recently interviewed Bunnell at her home.

What brought you to the Hudson Valley?

In 1993 I spent my January term at college at the Grail, a women’s intentional community based on social justice and ecology in Cornwall-on-Hudson. I fell in love with the Hudson Valley and in 1995 got a job at Planned Parenthood in Newburgh. I went from doing health education to teaching a parent/teacher workshop in prison to a puberty class in middle school to teaching kids how to talk about HIV. What inspired you to make art?

I always considered myself craftsy, but I never studied art. In the Hudson Valley I was surrounded by so many artists, the crafting evolved into painting. I asked people to teach me different techniques, and I learned from children after I started doing childcare.

The reason I started painting ten years ago was I couldn’t read for a year-and-ahalf after I had a severe sledding accident

Bunnell is the author of four coloring books that feature gay and transgender characters.

Jacinta Bunnell's Silas + Dream, mixed media on panel

performer, asked me to art direct a music video for her. I built a small animation set and I invited Emily Bennison Chameides to animate it. I made clouds and sky and figures, including little characters stuck on game pieces, and we did the animation together.

and suffered a mild traumatic brain injury.

I would get blinding headaches when I tried to read, and painting did not give me a headache. I was renting an apartment in Rosendale, and my friend Cindy Hoose and I decided to do a show together at the Rosendale Café where each painting had to have three elements that were the same, whether it was a color, a piece of scrap paper or the frame. We did a second collaboration in 2014, working for one year on 52 recycled gameboards. We’d pass each board back and forth, from four to 25 times. We showed these at the Anvil Gallery in Kingston and in the Berkshires, and just got a grant to show them at the Hudson Library.

Does your use of recycled materials arise out of necessity, political consciousness or childhood memories?

Mostly political consciousness. I hate to see so much waste in the world. I also have a heavy nostalgia for the way things used to be made: the beautifully crafted handwriting, the elaborately decorated papers of the past.

The material provides a springboard.

A blank canvas is so daunting. When I teach a workshop, I bring found images, such as Scooby Doo, Strawberry Shortcake or the Incredible Hulk, so nobody feels the pressure of drawing on their own.

“I hate to see so much waste in the world.

I also have a heavy nostalgia for the way things used to be made”

Why do you prefer to work collaboratively?

I’m a very social person. I thrive on other’s people’s energy and ideas. When Dean Jones, from the children’s band Dog on Fleas, asked me to make a cover for his album When the World Was New, I listened to the album over and over again, and then I interviewed him. One of the songs asked if we could have been able to knit a sweater if not for the prehensile grip, which got me thinking of the world as a new craft project. That’s how I came up with the image of two hands knitting a globe.

survive?

I receive royalties from my four books.

I’m a personal assistant to a couple of artists, and I do home organizing and childcare. There are months when I don’t know if I’ll be able to pay the bills.

What prompted the coloring books?

While I was at Planned Parenthood, I started a discussion group for LGBTQ teens who didn’t have the kind of family or peer support they needed and deserved.

When I left to start my own childcare business, I observed children playing unbiased and non-gendered games every day, and yet the toys, movies and clothes all around them were sending clear messages. I came together with Irit Reinheimer in 2001 to make a coloring book called Girls Will Be Boys Will Be Girls Will Be... We were both doing childcare and would commiserate about all the princesses, the predictable gender roles, the lack of queer and trans people in the books and movies these children were consuming. Both of us were making zines at the time, and the ethos of zine culture

has always been that if you are not finding what you want to be reading, go and make it yourself.

We took images from other kids’ books, altered them on Photoshop and wrote the text. I sold thousands of our original and started a website. A lot of times my biggest customers were the specialty gay and women’s bookstores. Now there are almost none left. One reason is that chains like Barnes and Noble have a gay/lesbian section, and the other is obviously more competition from the online stores.

You refer to yourself as a queer feminist.

Are those concerns also personal for you?

Though I have been with a man for the past 15 years, I also dated women. I came out when I was in college and worked with a lot of gay and transgender people. For

many [young] LGBTQs, it’s a matter of a safe home. I knew kids who were getting kicked out of their homes because they came out.

There is a lot of academic discussion and theorizing about gender and sexuality.

I wanted to approach these subjects with humor to make them more accessible.

In classic Disney, female characters are portrayed as hapless, helpless, sexualized, weak humans who have to be rescued by birds, mice, fairies and elves. In Dr. Seuss, females are nearly nonexistent. In fairy tales, women are often battered, killed or tortured. Many of these stories portray females as untrustworthy, backstabbing or nagging. There is so much more to womanhood than that: There is cleverness, courage, adventure, intelligence and boldness. These are all inherently human characteristics, no matter where you fall on the gender spectrum. I want to bring characters like this to children.

You eventually found a publisher for Girls Will Be Boys.

When it became too much to handle the orders ourselves, Soft Skull in Brooklyn took us on, [and for that edition] we artdirected illustrations by other illustrators accompanying our text. The illustrators got paid with free books. But Soft Skull was dying and went out of business.

When I decided to make a second coloring book, called Girls Are Not Chicks, I self-published and sent it out to publishers, but no one bit – until out of nowhere I heard from some folks who had left one of the publishers we had approached and started PM Press.

They picked up the book and also my other books. Sometimes the Spoon Runs away with Another Spoon is mostly based on fairy tales. I wrote it and hired an illustrator I met while selling books at Bard. Illustrator Leela Corman did the fourth book.

What are you working on now?

I’m nearly finished with two books.

One is a children’s book and the other is a guided journal of questions for emotional intelligence. For five years I was an assistant teacher at High Meadow School and did a lot of emotional intelligence work. I learned what questions help kids resolve conflict and understand someone different from them.

Does writing come naturally to you?

I began writing poems, little stories and journals in college. When I left Planned Parenthood, I took Lynda Barry’s workshop “Writing the Unthinkable.” She’s a writer and cartoonist, and her workshop doesn’t require you be a professional writer or journalist. I learned the beauty is in talking about specific details.

Your approach to life and art is always very inclusive of others.

Every person is born with the essence of who they are. I do what moves people’s heart and stirs them to think about

ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD AT CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS AT RHINEBECK

T

o paraphrase Shelley: If spring comes, can summer Shakespeare festivals be far behind? Cold nights and melting snowdrifts tell us that it’s too soon for outdoor theatricals, but the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck always likes to get a jump on the season with a spring series in its own rural counterpart of the Globe Theatre.

The Center’s 2017 Spring Shakespeare Festival kicks off this weekend with the Rhinebeck Theatre Society’s production of Tom Stoppard’s Beckettian black-comedy spin on Hamlet, the Tony Award-winning Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. These two minor characters from the Bard’s timeless tragedy banter with philosophical ramblings questioning fate, death and madness, wondering how it all pertains to them. They interact with not only the major characters of Hamlet, but also the slightly sardonic troupe of players who, in the end, perform the play-within-a-play to “catch the conscience of the king” – in addition to giving Rosencrantz and Guildenstern a glimpse of their own unlucky fates.

The main cast members include Brett Owen as Guildenstern, Steven Cohen as Rosencrantz and Michael DaTorre as the Player. Robyn Sweetnum Smith directs. The play will be presented in classic Elizabethan costume.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead runs from March 31 through April 9, with performances beginning at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays plus 3 p.m. Sunday matinées. Tickets cost $24 general admission, $22 for seniors and children. If not already sold out, $20 rush tickets are available at the door. For reservations, call (845) 876-3080 or visit http://centerforperformingarts. org. The Center for Performing Arts is located at 661 Route 308, three-and-a-half miles east of downtown Rhinebeck.

something differently. In my workshops I invite people to make their own stories that are contradicting the mainstream and collect them into a book.

Tell us about the tours you’ve done.

Two were in the Midwest, one five weeks from here to Seattle, and one was on the West Coast, after the University of Washington flew me out to do a workshop for Women’s History Month. A lot of my friends are in bands. My friend Neko Case was doing a West Coast tour, and I sold books at her shows and did workshops at community centers. I toured with her a second time and created an overhead

projection showing the coloring books.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

It’s a blast. My favorite tour was with Michael and artists DavEnd and Julie Novak in the Midwest. We drove this old Mercedes converted to run on vegetable oil. Because I could sell books and CDs, the road trip was paid for. There was a network of punks who put on shows in each town, and we would stay at their houses. We only paid $50 for fuel, and we were gone for three weeks. We had to go get veggie oil from a restaurant in every town. I’d pump it out of their dumpster.

Japanese restaurants have the cleanest oil.

What kind of workshop are you working on right now?

A volunteer project with three other artists and activists for Planned Parenthood. We are teaching a workshop on how to create bold iconic signs that speak personally about how Planned Parenthood has helped you, someone you love or someone in your community. Bard students came to Planned Parenthood for a day of engagement. We helped students brainstorm ideas, teach painting techniques, bring the materials and create a safe environment. Our next group of young people will be from Kingston High School. We still have such a strange belief system and judgments around sexuality in general, so it’s not necessarily easy for a young person to walk through the door to get the health care they need. I had friends whose breast cancer or cervical cancer was detected at Planned Parenthood. It’s where some friends primarily got all their health care.

What is your advice in the current political situation?

Community based-organizations have always risen up out of people taking action. Whether it’s legal services for immigrants or domestic violence shelters, these are safety nets we need now more than ever before. It’s hard to look at the large-scale impact of everyone losing their funding and support, but if you pick an agency or two that speaks to your heart and contribute with money, teaching or time, that’s a concrete step.

TASTE Looking to buy a landmark?

The original nails were salvaged and reused.

They researched Colonial taverns in designing the bar, which is crafted from wood taken from a 200-year-old barn.

Poised above it is a wooden grille, a replica of the standard item in Colonial taverns, which was lowered over the bar each night to prevent lodgers from stealing any liquor.

Colonial Kingston comes alive at the Hoffman House

A

s the third-oldest settlement in New York State, Kingston has a deep and storied history. Skirmishes between the Dutch settlers and the native Esopus tribe prompted the governor of New Netherland, Pieter Stuyvesant, to construct a stockade around the cluster of buildings overlooking the Esopus Creek in 1658. The ghost of the stockade survives in the layout of Uptown Kingston’s streets; and at the corner of North Front and Green, there still exists a stone building that might have served as a lookout post and fortification for the stockade, according to Ginny Bradley, owner, with her husband, Pat, of the Hoffman House restaurant, which occupies the structure. The evidence is the set of steps from the second-floor attic leading to the roof, she said.

Ginny Bradley believes that the Hoffman House – as the landmarked stone building with the Dutch-style split front door, cedar-shake gabled roof and white shutters is called – dates back to the 1600s. William B. Rhoads, in his architectural history of Kingston, notes that “the earliest part of the house” was deeded in 1707 by Antoine Crespel to his daughter, Jannetje Crespel Hoffman, wife of Nicholas Hoffman. It’s unclear how much of the structure was built in the 1600s; the Bradleys believe the building dates prior to 1679, but why quibble? The fact is, the Hoffman House is, by American standards, ancient: a rare survivor of the Dutch Colonial era whose heritage the couple, in more than 40 years of running their restaurant, have taken pains to honor.

If it weren’t for Kingston historian Edwin Ford, the building wouldn’t exist: It was one of several Colonial-era stone buildings targeted for demolition

by Kingston’s Urban Renewal Agency in the late 1960s. Ford lobbied Urban Renewal officials to redirect the funds that would have paid for tearing it down to rehabbing the building instead. The agency complied, and after doing work to shore up the stone exterior, put the Hoffman House on the market.

“There was no interest in it at all,” recalled Ginny. “The price kept coming down. It was a shell.” She and Pat, Kingston residents who were then in their early 20s and fresh out of college, bought the property in 1976. Initially their intention was to restore the building and sell it; but as they got deep into the restoration, they instead decided to open up their own restaurant. During the restoration, Pat apprenticed for free at a restaurant in Rhinebeck for a year to learn the trade.

They opened the Hoffman House in 1977, and ever since they been welcoming patrons into the four dining rooms (three with massive fireplaces) and cozy bar for steaks, pasta, chicken, lamb and fish dishes, roast duckling, French onion soup and the like. They created their own Kingston tradition – way before Uptown was bustling with transplanted Brooklynites and weekend tourists – while meanwhile preserving, on a corner of the city that functions as the gateway to the

The Hoffman House in uptown Kingston is a rare survivor of the Dutch Colonial era whose heritage Ginny and Pat Bradley, in more than 40 years of running their restaurant, have taken pains to honor.

If it weren’t for Kingston historian Edwin Ford, the building wouldn’t exist: It was one of several Colonial-era stone buildings targeted for demolition in the late 1960s. to the period, so that when one is sitting in the Hoffman House, with light and warmth from the roaring fire reflected off the dimly lit walls, one can imagine one is in pre-car, pre-industrial Kingston.

The Bradleys had the kitchen dug out of the basement (trudging up and down the stairs is “our staff ’s gym fare,” kidded Ginny). A covered patio in the back is a coveted dining space during the warmweather months. It overlooks a side lawn, also owned by the Bradleys, that is a popular place for drinking cocktails in the summer.

The menu features a daily special soup, appetizer, entrée, rangoon (a wontonlike concoction, whose stuffing varies) and pasta for dinner, and quiche, omelet and quesadilla for lunch; the sauces for the salmon and duck also change every day.

Besides traditional entrées such as prime rib, grilled leg of lamb, sirloin steak and roast duckling, the menu includes a variety of seafood and chicken dishes, as well as a few vegetarian entrées. Ginny said that the restaurant’s three chefs – two of whom have been with the Hoffman House for well over a decade – continually update the menu, although removing an old standby always runs the risk of alienating customers, in which case it stays on the

Stockade District, an important piece of Kingston’s Colonial heritage.

Although neither was into history when they bought the building, the commitment grew and became an obsession. “We took pains to do the research,” Ginny said, recalling that after opening, “my sister and I made all the uniforms for the waitstaff, consisting of long aprons and dresses and bonnets for the women. I made all the original tab curtains…until I got to the point where I couldn’t keep up with it.”

As explained on a back page of the extensive menu, the Hoffmans were a prominent family. “One gentleman who visited said one of the Hoffman daughters was engaged to Washington Irving,” Ginny said. “The building is fairly large and the ceilings are quite high, which were a sign of wealth,” since most houses had low ceilings to conserve on heat. Antony, son of Nicholas, was a blacksmith and trustee of family-owned estates in Ulster and Dutchess Counties; he was

a member of the Provincial Congress of New York City in 1774 and a signer of the Articles of Confederation in 1775. After independence, he was appointed a judge in Dutchess County and served as a regent of Ulster County. The house was burned by the invading British in 1777, but the Hoffmans made repairs, and it remained in the family until the early 1900s. It was bought by the Salvation Army in 1908 and later was used as a warehouse.

By the time the Bradleys bought it, the building was dilapidated. While the three-foot-deep stone walls were intact, the interior was a mess. After removing the unsightly dropped ceilings and cheap paneling, the couple discovered the original beams, wide-board floors and plaster walls. They hired an expert carpenter who was able to restore the original elements: a tactic that included flipping the warped floorboards and straightening the bowed original woodwork comprising the windowsills.

ALMANAC WEEKLY the City on weekends. It’s wonderful, and I would like to see more retail stores open…

Quite a few years ago, we decided to close on Sundays because it was like a ghost town. Now Kingston is vibrant and alive.”

Last year, the Bradleys replaced half of the cedar-shake roof. Every winter they close for a month, refinishing the floors, painting and making other repairs – ensuring that the Colonial look and atmosphere stay fresh and up-to-date, as if a fellow in a tri-cornered hat and wig had just stepped out the door.

How have they managed to remain in business so long, in one of the world’s hardest-working and most timeconsuming industries? “You have to really like people,” she responds. “The building itself has kept us here so long: the beauty of the building and the blood, sweat and tears it took to get it to where it is today.”

She and Pat raised four children (all of whom had a part in the restaurant) and now have a grandson with whom they’d like to spend more time. “We are trying to retire and would like to find someone who could take the restaurant over and love the building as much as we do. We’re actively selling the place to the right person. It’s been our whole life.”

s spring makes its appearance, the staff at Ella’s Bellas Café and Bakery in Beacon has cleaned up the back patio for patrons to enjoy their repasts in fresh air and intermittent sunshine. “Normally there’s a garden out back; that will come later in the season,” says Carley Franklin Hughes, owner and proprietor of the combination bakery/coffee bar/hangout.

Out front, the signage is simple, giving no indication that all baked goods produced by Franklin Hughes and company are 100 percent gluten-free – “GF” as it’s known among followers of the dietary restriction.

“Basically, we started out of my home kitchen seven years ago,” she explains. “I was doing traditional baking and glutenfree baking on alternate days, and selling wholesale. When it came time to have a shop space, we had to decide which way to go. I had so many people in my life that desperately wanted good-tasting glutenfree options. Our chocolate chip cookie, a best-seller, had always been gluten-free.

We decided to go with it.”

The casual atmosphere in the light-filled café invites people to come in, order a delicious soup and salad or quiche or sandwich (not to mention a slew of fabulous sweet treats), have a great cup of coffee or tea and just relax. Talk with friends. Read a book. And don’t worry about what you can’t eat on the menu, because the dreaded gluten is not to be found there.

“Our goal is to have really delicious food that everyone in the family can eat. Most

March 30, 2017 of the time what happens is that people try something and say, ‘Really? This is gluten-free?’ People ask why we don’t just advertise that like crazy. We’re trying to be subtle about it. We get stereotyped, because there are some pretty terrible GF options out there.”

With no former training in the culinary arts or food retailing background, Franklin Hughes mounted some major experimentation in order to formulate flour combinations that would simulate the results that traditional bakers get with wheat. “In the beginning it was a lot of trial-and-error. We probably have at least 20 flour combinations in the shop; some are good for breads, other make great cookies. We start with some starch – usually tapioca or potato starch – but we try not the make it the main ingredient.

To make sure there’s a nutritional element as well, we use millet, sorghum, a little bit of rice, quinoa, teff; we don’t use any soy or corn flour. We do have soy in some fillings, but no soy flour. By now we have formulated all the basic flour blends, and we actually sell some of them.”

Her aim was to find ingredients that would do all the things they should do and not taste gritty or weird. “It usually takes me three tries – or sometimes two, or 17! It took us at least eight or nine tries to get the sourdough starter to do what we wanted. We’ve had the same starter for five years now, using it for three of our breads: a baguette, our true sourdough and a rosemary loaf and rolls. We feed our starter and even have a nickname for her: Mama or Little Kim.” The café soon outgrew itself and expanded into the space next door (“My husband, Jason, tore down the wall and did all the work,” she says), making it possible to offer a full range of breakfast and lunch options. The interior renovation included repurposing architectural items, such as reusing old doors to make tables and making hanging lights built from giant whisks. Greg Flaherty, proprietor of Tas Kafé coffee roasters, moved in to operate the coffee bar. A large deli case displays grab-and-go goodies. As for the bakery items, jars and shelves hold up to 15 different kinds of cookies, along with cupcakes, special-order cakes, baguettes and breads. There are plenty of vegan options, too.

“We’re really here just to be a fun and cozy place to get a good meal, to sit down and hang out,” Franklin Hughes reiterates.

Yet with a full crew of bakers, cakedecorators, counter staff and dishwashers – all of whom she says have deep concerns for sustainable farming and healthful food production – Franklin Hughes maintains a community-conscious attitude, sourcing many ingredients locally.

In attempting to accommodate evenmore-stringent food allergies, she uses only natural dyes and is very careful with nonstick sprays that contain soy lecithin.

Calling her staff “rock stars” in their efforts to respect customers’ needs, she says that they’ll even bake special-order items first and place them on the top shelf of cooling racks so there is no cross-contamination of ingredients. “A friend whose husband is a computer whiz has been working on an app so people can come in, put their allergies on the iPad, and it will tell them what they can have. People tell us ‘I love you’ all the time,” she adds.

Recently “feeling the world needs a little extra love right now,” she launched the Spreadlove Campaign, using an oldfashioned, easy way to donate: a Mason jar on the counter-to raise funds for the Afterschool Programming Tuition Fund at the Beacon Recreation Department and for the Natural Resources Defense Council. And Ella’s Bellas will once again be the pick-up location for the Obercreek Farm CSA this summer.

ART Gnomes find a home Sam Tufnell sculpture installation to be unveiled in High Falls

T

he garden gnome population in Ulster County will soon be increased. Thirteen solid-colored, 32-inch-high “power gnomes” cast in pigmented resin

by Ellenville-based artist Sam Tufnell will soon inhabit a craggy cliff overlooking the High Falls Emporium in a sitespecific installation, Gnome Mountain.

The official unveiling will take place on Saturday, April 8 in a lighting ceremony at approximately 7 p.m. on the corner of Old Route 213 and NY-213. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the nearby Wired Gallery, which will exhibit a solo show of related work

by Tufnell through May 7. The gnomes in the outdoor installation will weather the seasons up on the cliff indefinitely.

Tufnell’s resin “power gnomes” are identified as such because they’re usually mounted on illuminated platforms that make the single-color pigmented sprites glow with light, as if powered by some source of energy from within. The elves in Gnome Mountain will be lit by natural light in the daytime and spotlights at night. The gnomes will be securely installed to prevent an occurrence like that at a Florida museum a few years ago, when a blue gnome by Tufnell was stolen from an exhibit. (Given the practice of people who take garden gnomes around the world to photograph them in various

places, Tufnell says he hopes that at some point it’ll resurface.)

The focus of the show at the Wired Gallery will be the artist’s illuminated “still-life” assemblages that bring together clear or pigmented resin castings of everyday, ordinary objects – water bottles, soda cans and the like – affixed to the top of illuminated pedestals that become part of the finished work.

Tufnell says he deliberately chooses to cast objects that are abundant and easily identifiable, often found at supermarkets

or garden centers, as a way of challenging the “monumental” ethos that prevails in sculpture. “I wanted to do something satirical on some level, but a little more playful. The gnomes and the still-lifes are pretty much my reaction to public art, figurative art, high-end art in general; sort of taking things down a notch, ‘de-elevating’ it. This stuff gets way too serious.”

People often assume that he has a large collection of garden gnomes, Tufnell says, but that’s not the case. Nor are

the gnomes inspired by Ulster County’s famously statuesque garden gnome, the giant Chomsky standing sentinel outside Kelder’s Farm in Kerhonkson. Originally from Los Angeles, Tufnell relocated to New York City in 1996, earning a BFA from the School of Visual Arts before setting up shop in a Brooklyn studio to work on a number of sculptural pieces utilizing ordinary objects as formal elements. He did a series of rosebushes fabricated in steel, playing off the contrast between industrial means and organic subject matter, and another of bronzelike mixedmedia salvage works featuring stuffed trashbags and overflowing trashcans.

After a friend who lives in Ulster County introduced him to the area a few years ago, Tufnell ended up buying property in Ellenville and building a studio there that he considers his primary workspace now. He still commutes down to Brooklyn part-time, but says he finds the Hudson Valley a good environment for an artist and a welcome break from trying to work in the distractions of the City, where space is expensive and finding enough of it is a challenge, especially for the kind of work that he does. “I just like the vibe,” he says of working in Ellenville, “and the fact it’s a little more rugged and untouched.”

This is Tufnell’s first solo show in the Hudson Valley. He has exhibited widely since 2008 in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut and California, winning several awards for his work, including the solo award at ArtExpo New York 2013. Some of his illuminated work was recently on view at the Cornell Art Museum in Delray Beach, Florida.

SEVAN MELIKYAN

Wired gallerist Sevan Melikyan says he was intrigued when he heard about an artist newly relocated to Ellenville. “That encounter led to this extraordinary project that has now the potential of giving High Falls a new landmark in Gnome Mountain. I can easily see people making a trip to see this and take selfies in front of the cliff under the watch of a colony of gnomes.”

The site-specific installation wouldn’t have been possible, he adds, without High Falls Emporium owner Ron Faia, who last May invited Melikyan to open and curate a sculpture garden at the Emporium. Faia is so into having Gnome Mountain on the cliffs above, says Melikyan, that he plans to install the gnomes personally.

Tufnell says he’s not sure if he’s finished with the series of gnomes. “I’ve pretty much stopped doing them, but I’m not exactly sure at the moment. I was thinking I would wrap up my old series at this point and move on. These 13 were basically the last of the gnomes in my studio; I wasn’t expecting to release them all at the same time. But when this came up, I looked at the site and committed to it; it was kind of serendipitous…I feel like I’m setting them free.”

was the model for the title character in James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Spy. Sybil and her younger sisters are said to have shared a system of secret signals with the spies, and to have regularly patrolled the grounds of the family farm in Kent,

It is said that General Washington himself visited the Ludington farmstead to thank Sybil for her heroic ride, but her name almost dropped out of the history books.

This statue of Sybil Ludington by Anna Hyatt Huntington was erected in 1961 on Gleneida Avenue in nearby Carmel. Sybil's father, Colonel Henry Ludington, was the officer in charge of the Seventh Regiment of the Dutchess County Militia.

“The female Paul Revere” came from here Remembering Sybil Ludington, the Hudson Valley heroine on horseback

A

pril 26 will mark the 240th anniversary of a remarkable event in American (and women’s history), which took place right here in the mid-Hudson Valley during the Revolutionary War: Sybil Ludington’s Ride. On that wild and stormy night in 1777, 16-year-old Sybil rode a circuit of some 40 miles – way farther than Paul Revere – over difficult terrain in what was then Dutchess and is now Putnam County, to let the men of

her father’s regiment know that the Redcoats were coming.

Colonel Henry Ludington was a veteran of the French and Indian War and the officer in charge of the Seventh Regiment of the Dutchess County Militia. His turf included a route that the British could take between Long Island Sound and the Continental Army’s military supply depot at Danbury. The colonel already had a 300-guinea price on his head for several years of defending Colonial stockpiles

against marauders, horse and cattle thieves, and for organizing (with John Jay) a ring of spies to infiltrate the local Tory network. One of them, Enoch Crosby,

armed, to protect their father from bounty-hunting snipers.

In April 1777, 2,000 British soldiers under the command of general William Tryon landed at Compo Beach on the Connecticut shore and began moving inland, intent on seizing or destroying the Continental stockpiles. Various Connecticut militias hindered their progress, but it was planting season and many of the men were scattered to their farms. One fateful evening, an exhausted rider arrived to tell Colonel Ludington that the British were setting buildings on fire in Danbury. So Sybil was dispatched to round up the members of the regiment from their landholdings in Carmel, Cold Spring and Mahopac. She must have been some rider, as most of them – about 400 patriots – showed up by daybreak, as instructed, to help harry the Redcoats on their retreat to the coast.

It is said that General Washington himself later visited the Ludington farmstead to thank Sybil for her heroic ride, but her name almost dropped out of the history books. After the war, Ludington married a Catskill lawyer named Edward Ogden; they had one son.

After her husband’s death, Sybil became a tavernkeeper, and she died in 1839 at age 77. Her great-nephew, historian Louis S. Patrick, published an article about his gallant forebear in 1907, and a 1912 poem in a verse style similar to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s famous “Paul Revere’s Ride” helped establish her reputation as “the female Paul Revere.” In 1975, Sybil was featured on a US postage stamp. Nowadays bronze equestrian statues of her are to be found in Putnam County and in Danbury.

So if you know any young girls who could use a real-life, local role model of resourcefulness, persistent and courage, you might want to point them in the direction of Sybil Ludington’s story.

Rondout High School hosts Water Is Life/ Mni Wiconi event Never let it be said that contemporary youth are slackers when it comes to being “woke” about the political events and social causes of their times.

In fact, it’s a tenth-grader at Rondout Valley High School (RVHS), Eva Ostrander, who has created the Water Is Life/Mni Wiconi event that’s happening there this Thursday evening.

Young Ostrander, who identifies as a Native American Water Protector, has organized the public forum in support of the indigenous tribes who are resisting the construction of oil pipelines at Standing Rock in North Dakota and Split Rock in New York State.

Water Is Life will open to the public at 5:45 p.m. on March 30 outside the RVHS Auditorium, with tables set up with information about alternative energy sources and the Dakota Access Pipeline and Pilgrim Pipelines, along with ways to help the Sioux and Ramapough Water Protectors. Merchandise such as flower bulbs and handmade crafts will also be available for sale.

At 6 p.m. in the auditorium, Clara Soaring Hawk Hasbrouck, Deer Clan chief of the Ramapough Lenape Nation, will conduct an opening ceremony for the Water Is Life/Mni Wiconi event, followed by a performance with the Red Feather Singers & Cloud Breaker Drummers.

Eva Ostrander and other RVHS students will introduce the speakers, who include Shai Blackbird, a Native American student from the Standing Rock area;

egg hunts. For bigger ones, it means the beginning of the baseball season.

Your family can celebrate both from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Super Saturday at Dutchess Stadium, when tickets go on sale for 2017 home games of the Hudson Valley Renegades. If you’ve ever found yourself turned off by the noisy, sometimes-hostile crowds or the high prices and relentless hucksterism to be found at Major League ballparks, you’ll find a visit to Dutchess Stadium a refreshing return to the old-fashioned, low-key Americana of smalltown baseball. There are even fireworks following each game.

To kick off the season, the Renegades’ home venue invites kids and their parents to join in the fun searching for Easter eggs on the ballfield at 10 and 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, April 1.

Dutchess Stadium is located at 1500 Route 9D in Wappingers Falls. For the season schedule, ticket prices and other information, call the box office at (845) 838-0094 or visit www.facebook.com/ hvrenegades.

very first piece of scenic property that the organization saved from the developer’s bulldozer: the Zena Cornfield on Zena Road.

This event is free and open to the public.

Ransome,” a fine artist who paints, draws, makes prints, collages and videos, and whose illustrations have graced the pages of nearly 60 books for young people.

Named by the Children’s Book Council as being among the “75 authors and illustrators everyone should know,” Ransome is a member of the Society of Illustrators, and has received both the Coretta Scott King Award for Illustration

ALMANAC WEEKLY and the IBBY Honor Award for his book The Creation. Other awards include the Coretta Scott King Honor Award for Illustration for Uncle Jed’s Barbershop and the NAACP Image Award for Illustration for Let My People Go. Ransome lives in Rhinebeck with his wife Lesa Cline Ransome, children’s book writer, and their four children.

On April 13, photographer Brian Hamill will speak about his new book, Woody Allen at Work: The Photographs of Brian Hamill. As the longtime photographer for the filmmaker, Hamill has shot stills for 22 of Allen’s films: an association that began in 1976 when his brother, writer Pete Hamill, introduced the two. An exhibit at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles features 80 photographs drawn from the book.

Some of his other work includes his “Tests of Time” images of John Lennon, Muhammad Ali, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Robert De Niro from Raging Bull and Woody Allen from Manhattan and Annie Hall. Additionally, Hamill’s “Troubles in Northern Ireland – 1972” is being combined with his rock ‘n’ roll, boxing and travel photographs from around the world, as well as a collection of nudes from the 1970s to the present, all of which are expected to be included as part of a forthcoming book.

The series, designed to give people throughout the region an opportunity to learn more about the work and inspiration of their "celebrity" neighbors, will feature live performances, interviews and audience question-and-answer sessions.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

What to do when your ďŹ g wakes up

E

ven in the cool temperature (45 degrees Fahrenheit) and darkness of my basement, the potted figs can feel spring inching onward. Buds at the tips of their stems have turned green and are just waiting for some warmth to burst open. Or, if the plants just sit where they are long enough, the buds will unfurl into leaves and shoots – which would not be a good thing.

My goal is to keep the plants asleep long enough so that they can be moved outside when they will no longer be threatened by cold temperatures. How much of a threat temperatures pose depends on how asleep the plants are. Fully dormant, a fig tree tolerates temperatures down into the low 20s. Even now, as they are just barely awakening, they can probably laugh off temperatures into the mid-20s.

If the buds expand into shoots and leaves, they’ll be burned by any temperature below freezing – and especially so if those new shoots and leaves get started indoors, where warm temperatures and relatively low light make for overly succulent growth.

Bright sunlight, even without freezing temperatures, can then cause damage.

Fig plants that start growing in earnest indoors get presented with two options: The first is to get them to the sunniest window in the coolest room so that growth is more robust, then move them outdoors after any threat of frost has passed – about the same time as tomato transplants get planted out. (Around here, that’s about the third week in May.) The second option is to move them outdoors as soon as temperatures won’t again fall below the mid-20s. Temperatures below 32 will burn the succulent new shoots and leaves, but plants will push forth new growth well-adapted to the great outdoors. If an Arctic blast is predicted, with lower-than-usual temperatures (that is, below about 25 degrees Fahrenheit), the plants need to be moved temporarily to the garage, mudroom or other convenient shelter.

My goal is to keep the plants asleep long enough so that they can be moved outside when they will no longer be threatened by cold temperatures

A fig’s treatment depends on the variety. Genoa, Excel and Ronde de Bordeaux are three new varieties that I hope to taste this summer. They’ll get first-class coddling: moved outside soon, then put into temporary shelter at the slightest hint that damaging temperatures could arrive. I might just put the others outside and leave them there.

The Kadota fig gets planted, in its pot, right in the ground. Its roots will grow out through all the holes I drilled in the side and bottom of the pot, so the plant becomes self-supporting, waterwise, until fall. I’ll plant it out soon – even though, once it’s planted, it’s staying put all season long. (I have a backup plant.)

ZEEVVEEZ

Fully dormant, a ďŹ g tree tolerates temperatures down into the low 20s. Even now, as they are just barely awakening, they can probably laugh off temperatures into the mid-20s.

by those of kousa dogwood (C. kousa), also called Japanese or Korean dogwood, native to east Asia.

The flowers of both species are very small and pretty much green. “Not so!� you say, thinking back to last spring’s show of large white or pink petals. Those large white or pink things are, in fact, not petals, but bracts, which are modified leaves that, admittedly, serve pretty much the same function as petals – that is, to look pretty, attract pollinators et cetera.

Over the years, the spring show from flowering dogwoods has become sparse because of powdery mildew and other diseases. That is why kousa dogwood, which is diseaseresistant, has been increasingly planted.

Flowering dogwood can have either pink or white flowers (whoops, I mean bracts).

Until recently, kousa dogwood came only in white. But now, breeders at Rutgers University, after decades of work, have introduced Scarlet Fire kousa dogwood: a coldhardy (Zone 5 to 8), disease-resistant variety bearing pink bracts.

The flowers of kousa dogwood, whether pink- or white-bracted, are followed by edible fruits. The round fruits are the size of a quarter, dark pink and very weird-looking.

To me, they look like water (naval) mines: not a very friendly association for a fruit.

Their appearance has also been described as that of a sea urchin shell – also not very gustatory. Inside, the flesh is sweetish and mealy, something like a cross between mango and pumpkin: not my two favorite flavors; but even if they were, those dark-pink water mines are too off-putting in appearance for me to do more than sample them (just so I could report on their flavor).

Still, kousa fruits add to the show from the flowering bracts and the healthy foliage.

Time to prune. Learn how at my Fearless Pruning Workshop, to be held at my farmden on Saturday, April 22 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Space is limited. For registration or more information, see www.leereich.com/workshops. – Lee Reich
