MOVIE tension to the movie), or the way that his 1920s aurochs back-breeding program is displaced forward in time to make it seem a sinister precursor to human genetics experimentation by the Nazis. But that’s how “based on� movies roll. It’s historically accurate, mostly.

Verdict: The Zookeeper’s Wife isn’t a must-see unless you’re an animal-lover, and it has some fairly disturbing scenes that rule it out as a Holocaust-education tool for the under-13 set. But if you happen to know anybody who’s currently inclining toward the “alt/right� movement, drag them to see it at once — kicking and screaming if need be. — Frances Marion Platt

Russian National Ballet Theatre performs Swan Lake this Saturday at Tannersville’s Orpheum

Jessica Chastain in The Zookeeper’s Wife.

Beastly behavior Animals upstage humans in WWII drama The Zookeeper’s Wife

T

hough the hypothetical number varies depending on your source, it is widely agreed that the basic kinds of stories told the world over can be counted on one’s two hands. Somehow, the human imagination manages to eke an impressively diverse array of entertainment out of these limited narrative structures nonetheless. Storytelling enriches our lives, makes the unbearable bearable, and we generally don’t care if that story has been told a thousand times before.

That goes for nonfiction as well as for fiction — maybe even more so, human history being as grim as it frequently is.

Some true stories need to be told over and over, while the witnesses are still alive, and passed down through generations so that maybe someone will eventually learn something and stop repeating inhumane patterns of behavior. The most obvious example in living memory is the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. So if movie critics tell you that The Zookeeper’s Wife is a more anemic variation on Schindler’s List, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a tale worth retelling.

Among the “righteous gentiles� recognized by Israel’s Yad Vashem memorial for taking personal risks to help Jews escape Nazi persecution were Jan Zabinski, director of the Warsaw Zoo in the late 1930s and 1940s, and his wife Antonina. After most of the menagerie was destroyed in air raids and the rest of the animals either deported to the Berlin Zoo

by Dr. Lutz Heck or shot one New Year’s Eve by drunken SS soldiers, the Zabinskis used the zoo’s subterranean structures and their own villa to shelter Jews smuggled in from the Warsaw ghetto, under cover of a pig-farming enterprise. It’s estimated that about 300 lives were saved due to their efforts.

Antonina kept a secret diary, on which naturalist/author Diane Ackerman based her best-selling 2007 book The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story. What makes this account different from other narratives recounting the heroic doings of underground resistors in Nazi-occupied Europe is the way in which the Zabinskis, particularly Antonina, were inspired by their daily interactions with the natural world via their animal charges to take equally devoted care of people. Unlike

Heck, whose interest in the Warsaw Zoo is depicted in the film as primarily as a source of breeding stock for his genetic experiments, the animals’ caretakers bond with them on a deep level and become more humane because of that attachment.

This theme will make The Zookeeper’s Wife, adapted by Angela Workman and directed by Niki Caro (Whale Rider), especially appealing to vegans, vegetarians and animal rights advocates (even if they don’t normally approve of zoos). Such viewers will certainly be moved to tears by the bombardment scenes. But it’s also a weakness, insofar as the film makes the zoo’s animal residents — especially a scampering baby camel who seems to have the run of the place — so damn cute that it teeters on the verge of making viewers care less about the Jews kept in hiding or the brave Polish Resistance fighters.

The Nazi characters are all pretty much black-hatted villains with no signs of being conflicted about their duties, so it’s a little too easy to come away from this film thinking, “Four legs good, two legs bad.�

I don’t believe that was the filmmakers’ intent, but you know the famous advice to actors about never working with children or animals. Still, the actors in The Zookeeper’s Wife do their level best to focus our attention on the human interactions. Jessica Chastain, starring as Antonina, does a reliably fine job, shining particularly in her scenes with Shira Haas as Urszula, a young Jewish teenager traumatized by rape. (The fact that this film was made mostly by women may have something to do with the fact that the long-term aftermath of rape is

Like Haas, most of the cast consists of actors known mainly to European audiences, including Johan Heldenbergh, who is excellent as Jan Zabinski.

Americans may recognize Daniel Brßhl, playing the creepy Heck, from previous appearances (usually as a German villain) in such films as The Bourne Ultimatum, Inglourious Basterds, Rush and Captain America: Civil War. Fans of Game of Thrones will enjoy seeing the Irish actor Michael McElhatton — familiar to them as the chilling Roose Bolton, whose family tradition is to skin enemies alive — instead portraying a sympathetic character: Jerzyk, the loyal and discreet assistant zookeeper who plays a key role in the Zabinskis’ people-smuggling operation.

If asked to name a ballet that isn’t a Christmastime staple, most folks who aren’t already avid dance fans would probably say “Swan Lake.� Tchaikovsky’s classic fable of a princess transformed into a swan by a sorcerer would likely be the first thing that came into their heads, even if they’ve only ever seen it performed by Bugs Bunny in a tutu as Odette and a similarly garbed Donald Duck as Odile.

A more authentic way of making the acquaintance of Swan Lake, featuring the original 1877 choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, will be offered this Saturday evening at the Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Orpheum Film & Performing Arts Center. Visiting Tannersville will be a touring production by the 50-member Russian National Ballet Theatre, which was founded in Moscow in the late 1980s by legendary Bolshoi Ballet principal dancer Elena Radchenko. The company will put on a full-length version of Swan Lake beginning at 7:30 p.m. on April 8.

Tickets cost $25 general admission, $20 for seniors if purchased in advance; at the door, they will cost $30 for general admission and $25 for seniors. Tickets for students go for $7.

TASTE Polish power Helena’s Specialty Foods in Kerhonkson makes peerless pierogis

table nearby stop eating and turn to me to say, “We drove all the way from Liberty to taste these pierogis.” The word gets around.

Anna comes out of the kitchen just then and invites me to sit and talk. A bright new dining area has expanded the operation, giving both longtime and brand-new pierogi-lovers a pleasant spot to chow down while gazing across the busy highway. Kelder’s Farm is opposite.

Beyond that is an unimpeded view of the Shawangunks. The Samkos have been producing the Polish staple in this location for 22 years.

“I came from Lower Manhattan in 1966,” says Anna, of Polish and Ukrainian blood.

“It was my husband’s dream to do this.

We named the business after his mother, Helena. We started out planning to provide pierogis for the IBM commissary, but that fell through. But we stayed.”

She points to the menu offering a variety of fillings. All the pierogis contain cooked potatoes, plus combinations of onion, cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeño peppers, horseradish, sautéed garlic, spinach, broccoli, farmer cheese, sauerkraut, meats or seasonal fruits. All are made by hand.

“I do it all: rolling out the dough, peeling and ricing the potatoes. We might make ten dozen a day, or up to 100 dozen for special orders.” nna didn’t always run the shop.

She and Stefan worked side-by-side until he had a health crisis a few years back. We talk about the dedication it takes to operate a successful food business and have it last this long. With little time off during the good years, and doing double-time when inevitable family emergencies occur, she epitomizes a work ethic honed to a fine edge. “We’ve supplied pierogis to Peter’s Market and Schatzi’s and White Wolf. We can use special-order ingredients for customers, such as venison. Once a customer wanted kasha pierogis and handed me a bag of buckwheat. It fell apart! You have to bind it with something, you know.”

Helena’s also sells kielbasa, krakowska and kobanosy by the pound: meats processed and shipped up from a longtime supplier in New Jersey. All pierogis are sold by the dozen, and availability varies by day. Large orders require a week’s notice; holiday orders need to be placed two to three weeks in advance.

The Samkos’ mission has always been to bring traditional Eastern European comfort foods to customers in the Rondout Valley and beyond. Anna points to Alena, who is busy behind the pristine white counter. “My daughter is my right hand. My sister and cousin help out.

That’s why I’m here: to feed people.” She hands me a bag of fresh pierogis as I walk out, and tells me to warm them up in a little butter and serve with sour cream. I can hardly wait to get home.

Participants receive a souvenir wineglass at the starting winery and continue on a self-guided tour of the trail at their own pace.

The Hudson Valley Farm Hub, located on the former Gill Farms site in Hurley, is a project designed to foster sustainable agriculture as an economic driver in our region. It was launched as the flagship initiative of the notfor-profit Local Economies Project (LEP), but it’s not the only thing that LEP is up to. The organization’s latest initiative is the proposed Mid-Hudson Food Enterprise and Training Center, an agriculture incubator to be housed in a repurposed prison.

The former Beacon Correctional Facility, a 39-acre minimum security complex that closed in 2013, is the site that LEP has in mind. The group has awarded a $75,000 grant to the New York City-based Doe Fund to develop a plan for adaptive reuse of the facility, including the site assessment, business planning and community outreach needed to move the project forward.

The Doe Fund hopes to leverage a state funding program to transform the prison site into a fully functioning campus for food processing, training, storage and distribution. The project could help generate up to 244 full-time equivalent jobs in the area, provide space and equipment for food and beverage manufacturers and offer workforce training, youth programs and social services to low-income individuals. In addition, it could boost the Hudson Valley’s food and agriculture economy by providing infrastructure to connect upstate and downstate communities.

To find out more about the Mid-Hudson Food Enterprise and Training Center, including a preliminary site plan, visit http://localeconomiesproject.org.

Love for Sale Bethel Woods explores cashing in on the counterculture

F

or some, it was a beginning, a declaration of independence for a new “nation” that the straight world could neither ignore nor deny.

For many, many others, life-long members of that straight world, the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival was less a threat than an irresistible opportunity to cash in the burgeoning “youth culture,” an opportunity which they gladly took.

The points at which these antagonistic cultural streams met and mingled is the subject of a warm and richly detailed exhibit called “Love for Sale: The Commercialization of the Counterculture” at the Special Exhibit Gallery of the Museum at Bethel Woods.

Could there be a more fitting site for such a show? Bethel Woods — nobody’s idea of a Woodstockian “free” institution — wouldn’t exist but for the mud-caked, dope-driven festival that seized the world’s attention in 1969.

Understandably, the exhibit doesn’t explore such then-and-now ironies.

But what it does do quite successfully is show how the twin streams of American capitalism and American bohemianism (harkening back to the Beats) have flowed in and out of each other’s respective domains well before Max Yasgur said “yes” to a couple of land-desperate hippie-styled entrepreneurs. It does so with extensive texts by curator Jill Silos-Rooney that accompany large and small examples of the cheesy and the sophisticated means of appropriation that goes back to the mid-1950s.

Silos-Rooney identifies the confluence of post-war American affluence with the startling “discovery” by corporate America of Elvis Presley and later, the Beatles. Music was just the starting point for corporations large and small, efforts sophisticated and cheesy. Baby boomers,

the offspring of “square” America, were a new and lucrative demographic; kids looking for places to spend their “disposable income” found a friend in Mad Ave., which was only too happy to accommodate their needs.

Silos-Rooney’s historical research is posted on the exhibit’s walls alongside more than 200 artifacts, most of which are displayed like long-lost relics from another age.

There you’ll find (courtesy of pop culture collector Michael Stern) pristine examples of the pop culture’s Age of Cheese — a Beatle wig (and Beatle hair spray), a cardboard rack of Monkeeshades (cheapo pince nez sunglasses) and plastic figurines of the Fab Four in both pre- and post-Sgt. Pepper regalia.

Larger, cringe-inducing examples of Mad Ave’s efforts to cash in on the counterculture dominate the wall space: a ten-foot high billboard detail of a grinning, badly be-wigged Jonathan Winters flashing the peace sign and promising how “the new Savin really freaks out fatcat copiers.” Also in evidence are Peter Max-style illustrations on behalf of such super-cool products as Campbell’s Soup and Seven-Up. ut where the exhibit really shines is in its re-creation of a typical habitat for the American nuclear family of 1970 — living room, dining room, and boy’s and girl’s bedrooms. Sister’s got 45s splashed on the floor and a Princess phone next to her bed; brother’s got some anti-war posters and a wall-mounted stereo speaker. His bed is made, his underwear nowhere to be seen, which may be the exhibit’s only false notes.

There’s another room that speaks volumes — the Black Light Room, covered floor to ceiling with psychedelic posters. Is it apogee or nadir, the symbolic

height of countercultural creativity or its commercial death knell? The exhibit isn’t built to answer such questions, only to add to our appreciation of what was going on back when helicopters could still be mistaken for butterflies.

When I entered the Black Light Room, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were singing “Deja Vu,” giving new resonance to the chorus that says “we have all been here before.” That much, at least, is something aging hippies and the men who co-opted them can all agree on.

Geology hike of Rosendale’s Joppenbergh this Sunday There’s general consensus that the Shawangunk Ridge comes to its northern terminus in the Town of Rosendale; but what about that disconnected promontory of rock that looms over Main Street, Joppenbergh Mountain? Is it geologically akin to the Gunks, or a remnant of some other era of rock formation? Such wonderings can be enjoyably put to rest if you join the guided hike that the Wallkill Valley Land Trust (WVLT) this Sunday morning, April 9.

Participants in “Rocks over Rosendale: The Geology of Joppenbergh” will gather at 10 a.m. at Willow Kiln Park, behind the Rosendale Municipal Parking Area and the Rosendale Theatre on Route 213. Alexander Bartholomew, professor of Geology at SUNY-New Paltz, will

The following Saturday, April 15 from 10 a.m. to noon, WVLT land steward Lynn Bowdery will lead a walk up to the lookout point on Joppenbergh in search of spring ephemerals: the early spring wildflowers that grow and bloom before the trees leaf out and shade them into dormancy. Red trillium, wild columbine, rue anemone, violets and more have been found along this route at this time of year. The path to the lookout rises a modest 200 feet in elevation, but is steep and rocky in a few places. So wear appropriate hiking shoes, and bring along hiking poles if you use them.

Register now for “Women in Politics: Past, Present & Future” conference at FDR Library All across the country, expect plenty of historical hoopla in 2020 as we mark the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Whether they’re clad in the white, purple and gold togs of the suffragettes or the pink pussyhats of the anti-Trump resistance, riled-up feminists aren’t likely to let America forget the prices paid to gain our female forebears the right to vote.

New York, however, is characteristically ahead of the curve. Since this state granted women suffrage three years earlier than the federal government, in 1917, the commemorations are already getting underway – fueled by the energy of a whole lot of folks who were powerfully disappointed by the results of the 2016 elections. Sparks will indubitably fly at “Women in Politics: Past, Present & Future,” a conference organized by the Benjamin Center for Public Policy Initiatives at SUNY-New Paltz. Described as “an intergenerational dialogue about women’s political activism and the current state of the movement to advance women’s human and civil rights,” the event will take place on Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22 at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park.

Remarks and keynote addresses will be delivered by League of Women Voters executive director Wylecia Wiggs Harris, Eleanor Roosevelt Papers editor Allida Black, black feminist author/activist Barbara Smith and US senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who since Inauguration Day has emerged as a firebrand leader of the movement to halt the new administration’s assaults on reproductive rights and other “women’s issues.” The conference will also

feature a presentation of the results of first statewide Women @ Work View on Women poll by its originator, Eve Waltermaurer, associate director of research and evaluation at the Benjamin Center.

With women lining up in unprecedented numbers to run for political office, this conference is going to be a hot ticket; register now if you don’t want to miss it! Tickets for Friday night at the FDR Library are limited; the $75 admission fee includes a cocktail reception and dinner.

Saturday-only registration costs $35 and includes breakfast and lunch. To sign up, visit www.newpaltz.edu/benjamincenter.

Can’t attend? Despair not. The Saturday proceedings will be livestreamed at www. ruralfreetv.com, and a post-conference workshop will be held for K-12 teachers’ curricular development. Conference themes and outcomes will be documented in a future Benjamin Center publication.

Saugerties launches townwide International Sculpture Day exhibitions this weekend Each year on or about April 24, places in more than 20 countries around the world celebrate International Sculpture Day: an event organized by the International Sculpture Center to foster community support for three-dimensional art. This year Saugerties is jumping on the bandwagon with a monthlong series of village- and townwide sculpture exhibitions by artists who live or work in Saugerties. Both municipal governments as well as local businesses and galleries are hoping that this will become an annual happening and a boost to local arts tourism.

Culture vultures who remember the rise of Manhattan’s SoHo arts district in the 1980s will doubtless recall a gallery called Think Big, where Bob Malkin sold his enormous sculptures of mundane objects, like #2 pencils as tall as a basketball star. His works will be a highlight of International Sculpture Day in Saugerties.

So look for a giant comb in the window of a barbershop, a huge wineglass in a local wine shop, a supersized clothespin in a dry-cleaning establishment and a gigantic champagne cork in the window of a bar.

A map is being prepared to assist visitors in locating all the art on display throughout the village; it will be available at Emerge Gallery, Cross Contemporary Art and Bella Luna Restaurant. Located at 99 Partition Street, Cross Contemporary Art will exhibit the work of Colin Chase, Stuart Farmery, William Greenwood, Alex Kveton, Debra Priestly, Christy Rupp, Nadine Slowik and the estate of Jeffrey Schiller. Emerge Gallery & Art Space at 228 Main Street will be exhibiting sculptural works by 2 Nutty Artists, Loel Barr, Ed Berkise, Michael Ciccone, Shelley Davis, Ruth Edwy, Robert George, Amy Puccio and Fay Wood. The 11Jane gallery at 11 Jane Street will show works by Colin Chase, Adrian Frost, Stuart

Set in a mythical town near the Canadian border, John Cariani’s Almost, Maine is a pastiche of eight two-character playlets (plus prologue, interlogue and epilogue), set on a winter’s night when Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Though it bombed Off-Broadway in 2006, running only a month, the romantic comedy went on to become, for several years, the mostproduced play in US high schools. It’s a favorite with small local theatrical companies as well, with more than 2,500 productions documented in the US and more than a dozen internationally. Now it’s coming to SUNY-Ulster.

Under the direction of Stephen Balantzian, the SUNY-Ulster Theatre Department’s new production of Almost, Maine will be performed at 7 p.m.

Thursday through Saturday, April 6 to 8 and 13 to 15, plus a 2 p.m. matinée on Sunday, April 9. Admission is by a suggested donation of $10. Performances will take place in Vanderlyn Hall’s Quimby Theater, located on the campus at 491 Cottekill Road in Stone Ridge.

Discussion of Karl Marx City with filmmakers at Upstate Films this Friday

Has the daily onslaught of revelations about Vladimir Putin’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. election got you thinking about what life might be like under a totalitarian government? You might want to check out the new documentary, Karl Marx City, which has its mid-Hudson premiere this Friday at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck. Filmmakers (and Hudson Valley residents) Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker and their daughter Matilda Tucker, who narrates the film, will be on hand for a discussion following the screening at 8:15 p.m. on April 7.

Epperlein, who grew up in East Germany in the years before the Berlin Wall fell, began to suspect that her father had spied for the Stasi secret police when she found out that he had committed suicide after destroying all his papers.

Movie camera in hand, she went back to her hometown of Chemnitz (a/k/a Karl Marx Stadt) to try to find out the truth.

NPR called Karl Marx City “as much an inquiry into the mechanics of how autocratic regimes work as it is a search for the truth about one citizen’s tragic end in its clutches.”

For more info about the screening and discussion, call (845) 876-2515 or visit http://upstatefilms.org. Tickets cost $10 general admission, $6 for Upstate members. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck.

Dale Ziegenfelder’s

pipe dream

PHOTOS BY DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

D

iana Ziegenfelder remembers when the man she eventually married told her that he wanted to own a pipe organ one day. “‘Oh, great,’ I said,” she recalled last week, while sitting on a sofa in the couple’s mountainside home in Glenford. “I had no idea; I thought it was like a console.” Her husband Dale smiled at the memory, as she continued: “He said, ‘Is it okay with you?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, sure.’”

Diana Ziegenfelder’s smile widened as she remembered a later time when Dale introduced her to what a pipe organ looked and sounded like. “I couldn’t believe it,” she said, the wonder still apparent in her voice. Their marriage has survived what might have been a ruinous — let’s say massive — misunderstanding.

Dale Ziegenfelder’s desire for an inhouse pipe organ was triggered when he was a high school senior in Cincinnati in 1969. It took most of his lifetime and nearly superhuman attention to detail to make that wish come true.

To appreciate Dale’s achievement, you have to appreciate the pipe organ itself.

The pipe organ is the behemoth of the musical world. It is to an ordinary organ what a Zeppelin is to a helicopter. Its ancestry can be traced back 2000 years to ancient Greece. For centuries, pipe organs’ traditional lair was a towering cathedral; more recently, they became fixtures of early-20th-century movie palaces (think Radio City Music Hall’s “Mighty Wurlitzer”), where they did the work of an entire orchestra in accompanying silent films.

Dale’s pipe-organ dream stayed with him throughout his adult life. It remained, firmly lodged in the back of his mind, through a 15-year career as an electrical engineer at IBM and subsequently as the owner of nearly three dozen apartments in the area.

Pipe-organ aficionados are a devoted bunch. Ziegenfelder used to comb trade

During a guided tour of the pipe wells, Ziegenfelder motions casually toward a wooden plank covered in what appears to be a network of spiderwebs. It’s something called a connection board, and it took Ziegenfelder two years to lace those spiderwebs into a functioning unit. “I’m an electrical engineer, after all,” he said.

The organ had its local debut in 2002, when the crew who sweated through the unloading of the organ’s parts were rewarded with a Christmastime concert performed by the man whose longtime dream had finally come true. Since then, the organ has been the sonic centerpiece of occasional private parties — especially come Halloween, when Dale wears what circumstance demands, when he takes his place before the keyboard wearing the most predictable of costumes: Whom else could he come disguised as, except the Phantom of the Opera?

ale and Diana recount his Iowa adventure as if it were yesterday.

Not only did he dismantle the behemoth singlehandedly, he also first had to build the crates that he needed to make the trip home possible. On his arrival home, the couple needed the help of about a dozen friends, working all day in the summer of 1990, just to unload, unpack and store the organ’s wood and metal innards.

The two weeks that it took to disassemble and transport the organ were as nothing compared to the time it took Ziegenfelder to reconstruct it. It took 12-and-a-half years, to be exact.

The enormity of the task might have proven daunting to anyone else. The organ is comprised of 2000 pipes, each of which has to be mechanically connected to the keys and foot-pedals of the console. They stand today at permanent attention, like an army of massive and minute rockets awaiting their launch codes, lodged in two deep wells on either side of the organ’s multi-tiered console.

T

he description seems nonsensical at first. Redwoods along the Shawangunk Ridge?

Driftwood redwoods, no less?

But there they sit. And stand. And stare back at you, in all their roughhewn glory: almost two dozen giant redwood roots, long-ago victims of a time along the coast of the Pacific Northwest, a time when uncounted redwoods as old as civilization itself were logged with impunity. The story of how these rescued roots came to find a home on a small patch of land on

Any other tree would have rotted where it had been left. But that wasn’t the case with redwoods. They’re all-but-immune to the insect and mold infestations to which other woods are prone. the edge of the town of Gardiner is Jim Dowd’s story.

Dowd, who’s 70 years old, grew up on Staten Island and attended NYU’s business school. He found out soon enough that business wasn’t for him.

in the peripatetic tradition of youthful wanderers, he got a backpack and lit out for California. His wanderings led him up the coast to the Pacific Northwest, where he worked in the building trades and got an education about the logging era.

Redwoods have long been prized for their durability and strength — prized almost into extinction. For nearly a hundred years, beginning in the mid-19th century, an estimated 90 percent of the all the original redwoods had been harvested.

Dowd discovered several additional facts about redwoods: As valuable as they’ve been to commerce, the loggers didn’t see fit to harvest the tree’s tangled root systems. Those ancient roots were treated with about the same interest and respect as a lumberjack feels toward sawdust; all over the region, giant roots lay scattered in stream- and riverbeds and meadows.

Any other tree would have rotted where it had been left. But that, Dowd discovered, wasn’t the case with redwoods.

They’re all-but-immune to the insect and mold infestations to which other woods are prone. Neither did they deteriorate in water; they’re essentially waterproof. Even when local streams and rivers delivered these great rocklike boulders to the ocean shore, they kept their shape and defied nature to add to the damage already done to them by man.

Dowd initially found root systems washed up along beaches. He took the smaller ones home back East in his pickup.

By now an accomplished sculptor in his own right, he envisioned these pieces as becoming artful furniture. But as time went by and he gradually became more entranced by the roots, he began sculpting them, finding unsuspected faces and forms in them.

By the early ‘90s, he’d become fascinated enough to do some large-scale harvesting of his own. He collected washed-up root systems, sometimes buying orphaned pieces from ranchers and farmers on whose land the root systems had settled. Over a period of 15 years, Dowd transported four tractor/trailer loads of roots to the mid-Hudson region.

He planted his finds on a patch of land belonging to friends who live on Clove

Looking your best FACE Stockholm hosts makeup classes in Rhinebeck & Hudson

F

ACE Stockholm is a makeup company with a mission: to have women feel good about themselves by providing cosmetics and services that help them look their best. Founded in Sweden by Gun Nowak, a fashion-boutique owner at the time, it has become an international success story, with over 100 retail outlets worldwide and (lucky for us) two in the Hudson Valley. FACE Stockholm products are also carried by other major businesses, such as Anthropologie, and can be purchased online.

Unique in the industry for its dedication to personalized service, the company maintains its mission by remaining a privately owned concern. Nowak opened shop in 1982, originally to have access to a broader selection of colors — what has become literally thousands of shades of lipstick, liners, shadows, foundations and blushes — that would complement all the hip neon clothes of the era. Now joined by Nowak’s daughter, Martina Arfwidson, FACE Stockholm continues to fill a niche in the industry in its bright, welcoming boutiques where customers can experiment and be pampered and learn a trick or two about applying makeup to their own faces.

Helen Andersson, also from Sweden, has been with the company from the beginning. “I actually started 30 years ago as a hair model for the biggest hair salon in Sweden,” she tells me. “They worked with Vidal Sassoon doing these big hair shows. I was always fascinated by the makeup artists: how they could transform someone for the stage. I wasn’t the kind of girl who was into putting it on myself. I was more interested in makeup as an art.

One day they said, ‘Can you do your own foundation?’ and a woman [who lives in New York now and is a big makeup artist] said, ‘Who taught you how to do that?’ I started helping them at shows, and before I knew it, I did a test and became their apprentice. It all happened very fast.”

By the time Andersson moved to New York at 20, she was doing makeup for magazine covers and getting ready to study psychology. “Now I say, I had the best psychology education anyone could ever have; that’s the thing that I still love about what I do. I can do without the fashion world, but I love the interaction with people. I love hearing people’s stories.

When you touch somebody and they feel safe with you, it just kind of pours out.

And I love sharing, too, and helping people to feel better about themselves.”

Feeling good is the theme that runs through the FACE Stockholm experience.

Arfwidson maintains that putting makeup on a woman is as intimate as it gets, with perhaps even closer contact than she might get from her doctor. Nowak has said that the most important thing is for customers to get in touch with their own beauty. Andersson echoes that sentiment.

“We do a lot of weddings on location.

When they come in for a trial, they sit down and show me pictures — Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Anniston are pretty common — and they want to look like that. They see the makeup that celebrities are wearing and think it’s gonna look good on them. Sometimes even if I tell them, ‘Well, your eyes are kind of different, I think this might work better,’ you actually have to do it to prove that it maybe is not the right thing for them personally.

“Unfortunately, I think looks have become such a huge thing amongst young girls. The idea that everyone should look the same, I think, is really sad. I try to celebrate diversity. It was much more like that when I grew up in Sweden. Here even young people are thinking about Botox and plastic surgery. They start so early.

I see myself as this experiment. I have never done anything, and I feel like one

of the few people who hasn’t. I do think it’s a natural course of what’s happening that you can change the way you look. If someone feels really bad about something, I’m not against it. But I would love for people to celebrate the way they look, and not want to look like a cookie-cutter. It’s boring, super-boring.”

A

s lead educator for FACE Stockholm, Andersson travels around the US to train makeup artists in best practices for the products. She manages the Makeup Academy in the Rhinebeck location, offering three-day and five-day courses in the craft of applying makeup.

“The five-day is a more professional course, and it’s seven hours a day,” she explains. “It’s very hands-on. Almost all the people who want to learn about the craft have watched videos and done

makeup on their friends; but it’s completely different doing makeup on a stranger who might be asking you to do a specific thing with them.”

She returns to the psychological aspect of working with people, most of whom are not professional models. “What I try to teach is what it’s like to work in the fashion industry or to do weddings. Not just ‘Put the eyeliner on like this,’ but what is it like to work with people that closely and have them feel safe with you. There are so many things to think about. I’ve worked with models and celebrities who didn’t want to be touched. You have to be quick and feel things out. Most of my students here are either aestheticians or have gone to cosmetology school where they had hoped to learn more makeup, but unfortunately they don’t. They don’t have teachers who teach the makeup

craft. Students come here to add on, and a couple of schools — such as BOCES — will honor the 30 hours students do here.”

As we talk, people wander in and out of the shop. Many women, myself included, come in tentatively, self-consciously. For many of us, the glamour train has left the station, and we don’t have a lot of time or interest in presenting ourselves as if we’re getting ready for a photo shoot. Others more familiar with FACE Stockholm products might be searching for the right color, trying to match a lipstick and generally easing their way into the idea of enhancing their own looks. Andersson urges them to try this and that depending on what they want, and talks about how to blend a foundation or blush so it looks more natural.

The first time I stepped into the shop in Rhinebeck, Lara Chkhetiani immediately

ALMANAC WEEKLY

April 6, 2017 sat me down and began gently stroking my age-worn face with moisturizer. I was hooked. “Lara is a painter and a healer, and an amazing woman,” says Andersson.

“I love the way she does makeup — like a painter. I’m more of a sculptor. In no way do I say my way is the right way.” She reiterates that it’s not just about looking glamorous, it’s about feeling good. It’s about having someone with a trained eye look at your skin tone and determine what will complement it. “No one even needs to know you’re wearing makeup.”

I ask if concerned customers inquire about the ingredients in FACE Stockholm products. “Yes, people do realize that whatever you put on your skin goes into your bloodstream. Most of our stores are in Europe or Scandinavia, and the EU regulations are much stricter. So we have to follow some strict rules. This company started almost 40 years ago, when no one was talking about parabens. We’ve slowly taken products with parabens and some mineral oils off the market. Most of those products now have a base of coconut.

There are some things — out of 160 colors for lips, for example — that have to last, and all the creamy products are a little difficult. Anything that’s creamy can go rancid. They’re perishable.

“All the cream blushes, all our skin-care products are now natural. I would love it if one day professional makeup — the kind we need for strong lighting and photos — could all be organic and natural, and there are people out there working on it.

Some of the more natural lines often have pigments or textures that just don’t hold up to what you need for professional use.

Or if there are no other preservatives, they use alcohol, which dries up the skin.”

In between customers, Andersson talks more about working for FACE Stockholm.

“I’ve known Gun and Martina since I was

a teenager. Martina is the business person, and Gun is the creative, like a whirlwind of creativity. She’s 75 now, and is still active in the business. One thing that makes me happy to work for them is that they haven’t sold the company to, like, Estée Lauder. It’s not so easy to run a company and be a mom-and-pop store. We used to be in New York City, but there are all these big stores there. All the cute little stores are disappearing. There’s a CVS on every corner. So we have our stores up here.”

“I used to do David Bowie’s makeup for many years,” she tells me, “and I was asked to work on his last project: his last two videos and some pictures. The director and cameraman were Swedish, and they said, ‘What are you going to do

now? You can’t top this.’ It was a beautiful experience to work with Bowie — one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met.”

Even so, I get her joyful commitment to working with all us un-famous commoners in a place that advertises itself as “ecoconscious, using minimal and recycled packaging and never testing on animals.”

All FACE Stockholm employees seem

entirely unpretentious and approachable, and promise to “give you a makeup lesson that looks like you!”

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.

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.

HISTORY PHOTOS SUPPLIED BY PETER ROBERTS, FRIENDS OF HISTORIC KINGSTON

Something old, something blue Friends of Historic Kingston advocate for bluestone preservation in the city

S

ometimes we take for granted the things we become accustomed to. Bluestone sidewalks, for example, literally underfoot in most of Kingston, are so much a part of the streetscape they go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life. Bluestone curbs, walkways, walls and other structures dating a century or more back are everywhere in the four historic districts and throughout the city. Bluestone is a defining visual characteristic of the region and a reminder of Kingston’s early industry. Yet slowly, it’s disappearing. And gradual change is hardly noticed.

The Friends of Historic Kingston would like people to notice. The nonprofit preservation group founded in 1965 has actually been advocating for years to preserve the bluestone in Kingston.

Allowing the material to disappear from city streets would forever change the character of the city, making it “just like every other place,” they say. “Bluestone is part of what you picture when you close your eyes and think about Kingston; what makes it not Peoria or someplace else.”

Bluestone ages well. It was frequently used to construct sidewalks because the sedimentary stone is relatively easy to cut into layered slabs, and it’s not slippery when wet. Its durability is attested to in the estimated 60-80 percent of Kingston’s original bluestone sidewalks that still exist. But it’s not invulnerable. Heavy use over the years takes its toll on the toughest of materials and even spreading tree roots can cause bluestone to crack. And when it needs replacement, too often broken bluestone is replaced with less costly materials: asphalt, blacktop or cement.

In some instances, bluestone in Kingston has been lost to thievery, slabs of it stolen from the sidewalks, most likely for resale.

In late March, Johnston Avenue resident Andi Turco-Levin was out of town when she received a call that a large bluestone slab from the sidewalk in front of her property had been literally lifted, leaving a deep hole behind. A smaller slab of bluestone on Main Street was stolen a few days prior. Police were alerted and stories came forth about sightings of two men dressed like city workers driving around with slabs of bluestone in the back of their truck. The stone stolen from Turco-Levin’s property was 100-125 years old, hand-cut at a thickness of nearly three inches, irreplaceable in today’s market

Blue Stone Quarry near the Ashokan Reservoir around 1900.

where bluestone is milled thinner, and by machine.

Saving Kingston’s bluestone is a matter of making the public aware of its vulnerability, according to Friends of Historic Kingston (FHK). As part of their efforts to raise consciousness about bluestone as a valuable resource that enhances the city’s beauty and character, the Friends have put together a selfguided Ulster County bluestone tour and a bluestone sidewalk maintenance chart.

The nine-page Ulster County Bluestone Tour is a self-guided journey divided into four parts: Downtown Kingston, West Chestnut Street, Uptown Kingston and Ulster County outside of Kingston. The sites may be visited in any order, but a sequence that works well is laid out starting the trip from the Heritage Area Visitor’s Center at 20 Broadway. The driving tour takes approximately three

hours to complete, or there is a one-hour version.

FHK member and former president, Lowell Thing, first put the tour together back in 2003. It was last officially updated in 2011, but when asked last week whether the information needs further updating, Thing said it still holds up. He mentioned the bluestone in front of Schneider’s Jewelers at 290 Wall Street as a good example of the kind of heavy, thickly-cut bluestone once laid on all or most of the uptown streets. Thing also recommended visiting the abandoned bluestone quarry known as the “Bluestone Wild Forest” at Onteora Lake State Forest Preserve as a way to visualize just how large some of the bluestone quarries were. The DEC website for directions and details is found at dec. ny.gov/lands/75323.html.

As for buildings made with bluestone, the best examples, Thing said, are the Old

Dutch Church at 272 Wall St. in Kingston (1850-52), and the circa 1858 Henry Samson house at 32 West Chestnut.

“There are also excellent examples of bluestone sidewalk, urns and other details along Fair St. where it becomes residential.”

The tour was put together in the hope that once people start actively looking for bluestone, they’ll begin to notice it all around them, and develop the same kind of appreciation for it that the members of FHK have. he FHK’s “How To Maintain Your Bluestone Sidewalk” offers a quick guide to bluestone upkeep. Recommendations for bluestone care include removing grass from the sides or between stones — fill in the gaps with gravel — and discouraging any plant roots nearby from spreading. Try not to drop anything

heavy on bluestone, and if cracked, either fill in the cracks with cement that match the stone in color or replace the piece with new bluestone. Delaware County bluestone tends to be less costly than old stone from Ulster County stockpiles, but it’s lighter in color (less likely to match) and is milled thinner.

Bluestone was used by Native Americans and early European settlers to make tools, tombstones, walls and other structures long before the first commercial quarrying of it in Ulster County began in 1831. By the 1850s, bluestone was big business locally, not only the go-to material for construction of buildings and streets but hauled by horse-drawn wagons down to the Rondout to be shipped up and down the Hudson River to every major city from east coast to west. Locally quarried bluestone was used for the cornerstone of Brooklyn Bridge and in the Washington Monument.

By 1920, bluestone had taken a back seat to the increasing use of Rosendale natural cement in construction (which in turn was overthrown by the Portland cement industry). Bluestone quarries near West Hurley, Olive Bridge and other hamlets are now buried, flooded during the building of the Ashokan Reservoir in 1915. Harvey Fite bought an abandoned 13-acre bluestone quarry in Saugerties in 1938, where he spent 37 years creating his six-and-a-half-acre sprawling bluestone sculpture, Opus 40.

Friends of Historic Kingston urge the public to spread the word about the value of bluestone to the region, and encourage enlisting local legislators to enact laws to protect and preserve it. In 2013, the City of Kingston made a detailed stone-bystone survey of the bluestone sidewalks in historic districts, which resulted in current consideration of a code change requiring that all new construction in the historic district utilize bluestone to construct sidewalks and that existing bluestone sidewalks be retained. Concrete would be the required material in all other districts, although bluestone could also be used.

Living history tour at Mills Mansion in Staatsburg this Saturday marks WWWI centennial Though there’s pretty much no one left alive who remembers it, America’s entry into World War I — a century ago this month — left an indelible mark on a generation. Beginning in a tangle of European alliances for reasons that seem murky and irrational in retrospect, the so-called Great War was supposed to be the War to End All Wars. But it ended up becoming the most appalling theater of human carnage in the history of the world thus far, only to lead to an even-bloodier conflict a few decades later. It may not exercise quite the romantic hold on the imaginations of American history buffs as the Civil War and the Revolution, but World War I ought not to be forgotten.

To mark the centennial, the Staatsburgh State Historic Site is offering a special themed tour this Saturday titled “World War I & the End of the Gilded Age.” Led by an interpreter in period clothing, the tour of Mills Mansion is designed to accompany its currently running exhibit focused on the wartime activities and political career of Ogden Livingston Mills, son of Ruth and Ogden Mills. The exhibit also features a silver tray given to the Mills family by General Pershing, to thank them for billeting American officers in their Paris home during the war.

The 90-minute tour begins at 1 p.m. on April 8. Tickets cost $10 general admission, $8 for students and seniors, and reservations are recommended at (845) 889-8851.

The World War I Centennial Commemoration at Staatsburgh will also feature a free “living history” presentation

I

share lots of history events with you here in Kids’ Almanac, but today, I am thrilled to tell you about a bit of local history that spans from the 1600s to present day — introducing Hugo the Huguenot! Author Jennifer DuBois Bruntil is a direct descendant of one of the first European settlers in New Patlz, and she wrote this charming children’s book to help tell the story of his immigration. The rhyming verse flows and helps the listener make meaningful connections with the text: “What is Hugo’s story? It’s quite a tale to tell, I’ll tell you and you’ll not forget, you shall remember well.” The illustrations are filled with gorgeous scenery and attentive details, such as Native American longhouses. I hope you get a copy of this terrific book at the fun afternoon planned this month!

On Saturday, April 22 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Historic Huguenot Street hosts Tea Time & Historic Story Hour in Deyo Hall, with a focus on Native American stories, a reading of Hugo the Huguenot, Native American-inspired crafts, and a raffle. Children are encouraged to bring a doll, teddy bear, or action figure to have tea with. And get those kids’ creative juices flowing because your budding writer is encouraged to submit an original Native American Munsee Girl story or poem from the perspective of Manveht, a young Native American woman. Some background about Manveht is available to peruse at http:// www.huguenotstreet.org/an-esopus-girl-story. Submissions are due Saturday, April 15. A winner will be selected from the 7 to 9 year and 10 to 12 year age groups, and their stories will be read at the event. Tea Time costs $25 for general admission, and $20 for children under 13.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

April 6, 2017

DEADBEAT

Harvey G. Eastman

C

ities and towns everywhere memorialize their prominent dead citizens by naming streets and parks and whole neighborhoods after them. So it was with the city of Poughkeepsie, where a small section of the city has been known as “Eastman Park” since its creation in the mid-19th Century. Citizens of the day must have wondered who would ever forget the name of the great educator, politician and visionary Harvey G. Eastman?

Eastman was an entrepreneurial prodigy. He was 25 years old when he established The Eastman Business College in 1859, a good two years before an English-born brewer named Matthew Vassar launched the college Poughkeepsie has become synonymous with since.

But for a time, Eastman’s business college was the better-known of the two institutions. It was unique for two reasons: it eschewed the theoretical for the practical, favoring an unusual-for-its-time hands-on education for budding businessmen and, eventually, women. Additionally, for many of its early years, despite enrollments of up to 1,600 students, it had no campus of its own.

Eastman managed his college without investing in a campus, a decision that probably failed to secure for him a firmer place in the city’s history. He preferred instead to rent or lease five downtown buildings. The only known building ever associated with the college was eventually built on Washington Street but razed in 1941, ten years after the college itself closed for business.

And while Vassar students ambled through the shady groves of academe, pondering the great questions of existence, Eastman students were...learning how to type. And spell. And do something called “business arithmetic.” But however rudimentary the school’s curriculum appears to us today, there was no denying the success some of its students could later claim. Among its alumni were retailer S. S. Kresge, electronics pioneer Mark C. Honeywell, pharmaceutical colossus Mahlon Kline as well as a clutch of senators, congressmen and governors, most of whose names now festoon various streets and parks and neighborhoods in their hometowns.

ducation wasn’t Eastman’s only interest or his only success. Before his arrival there, shortly before the Civil War, Poughkeepsie was a booming city of 20,000. But as it continued to grow, its reliance on individual wells and cisterns for its water and sewage needs culminated in a chronic problem: groundwater contamination that resulted in epidemics of cholera, typhoid fever, smallpox and diphtheria. Hundreds died. One newspaper account described the city as “A fine place to live, with fine schools and churches and railroad accommodations, well governed but oh, how sickly.” Hence the city’s odiferous nickname “The Sickly City.”

Efforts at remediation were stifled by the war. After Eastman ran for and won the mayoralty in 1871, it fell to him to find a cure for the city.

Eastman wasted no time.

His well-known gifts for promotion and persuasion culminated within a year with the establishment of the first successful “slow sand filtration” water plant in America. It was inarguably an even more impressive accomplishment than his college. The design criteria became the model for cities across the country. The number of lives saved through the slow sand filtration method is inestimable.

Eastman was by now a wealthy man. But he wasn’t done bringing innovation to his adopted city. His fortune allowed him to pursue another great project, a visionary “urban community” of townhouses.

The 1872 project that became known as “Eastman’s Folly” involved a series of clustered, five-story townhouses built on the border of the still-existent

park he’d developed next to his mansion on Montgomery Street. The park was a great success, the Central Park of Poughkeepsie. It featured fountains, a concert area, skating rink, flower garden and even a small zoo. It cost Eastman $200,000 to complete, more than $3 million in today’s money.

The second phase of his vision, the townhouses, were another story. Priced at $17,000 each, or roughly $340,000 in today’s money, they were very upto-date and could be customized with the highest-quality interior finishes.

But Eastman was able to build only 10 of the 24 townhouses he originally envisioned. The project proved so expensive, Eastman finally had to throw in the towel.

The park today has been eaten away by new development and time, while the 10 surviving townhouses were added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1982. hough it nearly drove him into penury, Eastman continued to work toward the establishment of another of his dreams: as a member of the New York State Assembly, he lobbied long and hard for funding to build what was later to become the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge, a project that was also derided at the time as an impossible undertaking.

We know it today as the wildly successful Walkway Over the Hudson.

But before he could see this last project come to fruition, Eastman was taken ill with a common scourge of the day: tuberculosis. He traveled to Denver, where the city’s fresh mountain air, a presumptive “cure,” had created a boon in sanitoria. Eastman died in Denver in 1878 at the age of 45. He’s buried at Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery, buried like the memory of the college that no one remembers, mere miles from the site of the historic “folly” that has survived him and the “impossible” bridge of his restless dreams.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

A good time to prune

E

veryone wants to prune this time of year. And rightly so. It’s a good time to prune most trees, shrubs, and vines, as it was a couple of months ago and, looking forward, will be until about when these plants come into bloom. Or, finished blooming, in the case of those plants whose pruning gets delayed until after we all get to enjoy their early blossoms.

A reader wrote me about her Japanese maple, which needed to have one of its multitrunks cut off. Should she do it now or in autumn? If lopped back now, would the tree bleed to death? Would the gaping wound get infected, possibly leading to the demise of the whole tree?

Bleeding sap generally does more harm to gardeners’ psyches than to plants’ physiologies. My grape and hardy kiwi vines bleed when I prune them this time of year, with no harm done. So why worry about harm to a maple?

(The bleeding of grapevines that climb the arbor over my patio does have one downside.

It’s very pleasant to sit outdoors on that patio on warm, spring days; it’s very unpleasant to sit where sap drips on my head.)

Root pressure of water being forced up the vines is what makes grape and kiwi vines bleed. Once leaves unfold, they take up that pressure and bleeding ceases.

Root pressure is not what forces sap (which sounds more benign than “bleeding”) out of wounds of maple trees. With maples, cooling temperatures cause gas bubbles in xylem cells (the inner ring of trees’ cells in which liquid is conducted upwards from the roots) to shrink and to dissolve. Something’s got to fill that newfound space, so more liquid is sucked up from the roots and into the cells. As temperatures drop further, ice forms and gases are locked within the developing ice. Come morning, pressure builds in the cells as rising temperatures melt the ice and release the gases. The expanding liquid is forced out any holes in the bark, whether from a maple sap spile or from a pruning wound.

Although maples bleed for a different reason than do most other plants, the bleeding itself causes no harm to the plants. The reason small maple trees, with trunks narrower than 6 inches in diameter, should not be tapped is because the wound left by the tap hole extends within the trunk beyond the hole; sap will never again travel past the wounded area. A tap hole is large in relation to the size of a small tree’s trunk, so significantly restricts liquid flow.

Of course, there’s no need to conduct sap up a trunk that’s been lopped off. So, Barbara, go ahead and prune, now, when the gaping wound can soon begin to heal. Autumn, which leaves a gaping wound exposed to the elements and pests until spring, would be a very bad time to prune.

3pm Woodstock Ultimate Disc. Ongoing games

I looked out the window awhile ago to see a rabbit crouched against a backdrop of pure, white snow. How cute. NOT! It’s the same old story. Farmer McGregor and Peter Rabbit, and now farmdener me and some other rabbit.

A few days previously I had noticed that some bark had been nibbled off the pencilthick “trunks” of some young, grafted trees — the handiwork of those awful furballs.

That nibbling probably won’t kill the small plants but will set them back a year, or more, if the nibbling kills the scion down to the graft.

As for the rabbit and its probable kin, I’m setting traps. Unfortunately, my Peter Rabbit seems to enjoy my plants more than anything I put in the trap.

I’ve kept my Peter Rabbit at bay from all my older trees this winter with diligence and hardware cloth and or commercially available plastic spiral tree guards. The protection goes two feet above ground, or higher, not that a rabbit could reach that high — except when there’s snow to give it “a leg up.” The light-colored spirals also protect the thin barks of young trees from sunscald, which results when sunny, cold winter days warm the bark, whose temperature then plummets as the sun drops below the western horizon.

I remove all the spirals in spring so insects can’t find shelter from birds beneath the spirals.

Monthly, throughout winter and into early spring, I also sprayed plants with Bobbex, a mix of “putrescent whole egg solids,” garlic, and cloves that is repellant to rabbits, as well as deer (and me).

And finally, there’s Sammy, my trusty dog who would chase away any rabbits if he happened to be awake, happened to be on the right side of the house, and happened to see them.
