Trails of tears Inquiring Mind presents Heart of a Lion in Saugerties, Native American Almanac in New Paltz

emember when, a few years back, a cougar fatally struck by a car in suburban Connecticut was revealed by DNA testing to have walked all that way from Black Hills of South Dakota? It was the sort of story that’s sad and heartening at the same time: We regret the animal’s demise caused by human-made technology and development; we admire its strength, tenacity and determination; and we find a spark of hope that the apex predators native to our continent, driven into isolated corners by bounty hunting long ago, may be making a comeback to their former haunts.

The peripatetic panther in question was reportedly spotted in natural preserves in New York State – including the Shawangunks and the Adirondacks – en route to meet its mechanical destiny.

That’s part of the story told in William Stolzenburg’s Heart of a Lion: A Lone Cat’s

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Waging weed warfare Ways to remove unwanted plants from your garden

R

ecently sown vegetable seeds that have sprouted are growing slowly; weeds and lawn are growing fast. Give weeds an inch, and they’ll take a mile.

Ignore growing lawn grass, and soon you’ll need a tractor or a scythe to cut it down to size.

But few people ignore their lawns. Dealing with the growing grass is straightforward: You get out the lawnmower and go back and forth or round and round until every grass blade has been sheared.

Weeding demands more thought, technique and intimacy with vegetation.

Different weeds and different settings call for different approaches. In a vegetable garden, a hoe might be the tool of choice. My choices for hoes are the winged weeder, with a sharp blade that runs parallel to the ground surface and just slightly below ground in use, and the wire weeder, whose wire performs similarly.

Mostly, though, I don’t need or use a hoe in my “weedless” (actually, “weed less”) vegetable garden. Weeds are few enough and the soil is soft enough so that all that’s necessary is to bend over and pull out a weed, tops and all. Tap-rooted weeds, such as dandelion, need coaxing out with the aid of a trowel or hori-hori knife. That coaxing also helps lift a quackgrass plant gently enough to allow following its subterranean runner as far as possible until it breaks.

Along garden edges, my half-moon edger is very good at scouring out a dry moat that stops weeds. Problem is that my garden has a lot of edges. And furthering the problem, any edge neglected for more than a couple of weeks during a spell of good growing conditions puts that edge back to square one.

No need to set plants on fire; just heat them enough to burst their cells.

Just outside the glass sliding doors of my living room is a brick terrace that makes a nice takeoff point to a short expanse of lawn and then, through an arbor, into the main vegetable garden – or, turning, south towards the greenhouse and meadow. You’d think that the brick surface of the terrace would be maintenanceand weed-free: not so.

It’s a tribute to the tenacity of weeds how they manage to take root or sprout, and then thrive, in the small openings between adjacent bricks – even in the small cracks between the bricks and the masonry wall of the house. Some of those “weeds” are actually welcome there, such as the wild columbines that send up thin stalks, at the ends of which hover orange and yellow blossoms whose rear-pointing spurs give the flowers the appearance of flaming rockets.

Still, most of those weeds have to go. Pulling them out individually would be too tedious, and takes with them what little dirt or rock dust lies between the bricks. So I torch them instead. A small handheld torch would be effective, but slow. I use the appropriately named Dragon Weeder, whose three-inch-diameter nozzle attaches, via a ten-foot-long hose, to a 20-gallon propane tank. Fire roars out of this dragon’s mouth like a jet engine, and all that’s needed is a quick pass. No need to set plants on fire; just heat them enough to burst their cells. And this wet day is ideal to reduce the risk of fire spreading.

Equally effective for an expanse like my terrace is to burn foliage with vinegar. Household

At one point in its course stands the 100-year-old Lower Saw Kill Dam: a known barrier to aquatic connectivity for the American eel, designated a Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Though these eels spend most of their life cycles in the Hudson River, they swim out to tropical seas to spawn; monitoring the return of their tiny, translucent young, called glass eels, to the Saw Kill and other tributaries is an annual spring ritual for local scientists.

A consortium called the Saw Kill Watershed Community (SKWC) takes responsibility for overseeing the environmental health of that particular watershed. It’s made up of Bard faculty, staff and students; members of the conservation advisory councils of the towns of Red Hook, Rhinebeck and Milan; local, county and state officials; representatives of the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell Cooperative Extension

(Dutchess); and several nonprofits, including Riverkeeper, Scenic Hudson and the Hudson River Watershed Alliance.

Two recent awards to Bard College from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Grants program will give those efforts a big boost. One is intended to enhance eel habitat: A $49,950 Watershed Grant was awarded to the Bard Office of Sustainability to conduct a study assessing the impacts of maintenance and repair, partial removal or entire removal of the Lower Saw Kill dam. A second $44,744 River Access Grant was awarded to the Bard Environmental and Urban Studies Program to support a feasibility study to explore trail repairs and boat launch options to the Tivoli South Bay shoreline trail.

Lee using his Dragon Weeder, whose three-inch-diameter nozzle attaches, via a tenfoot-long hose, to a 20-gallon propane tank. Fire roars out of this dragon’s mouth like a jet engine, and all that’s needed is a quick pass.

vinegar, straight up (five or six percent acetic acid), does the trick as long as the temperatures are above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Effectiveness is increased if two tablespoons per gallon of canola oil and one tablespoon per gallon of liquid soap are added to the vinegar, and if vegetation is not so large as to cause “shadows” where lower vegetation gets bypassed.

Either fire or vinegar kills only the tops of plants. Roots might have sufficient stored energy to send up new sprouts, so treatments must be repeated until roots have used up all their energy.

Corn salad is considered a weed in Europe. It’s borderline weedy in my garden, with its tufts of greenery clustering near the foot of some of my vegetable beds and occasionally elsewhere.

No need to hoe, hori-hori, torch or vinegar corn salad. I let it be, even coax it along in some areas, and weed it out in others. Corn salad and I can maintain this congenial relationship because I like to eat it.

The same can be said for Good King Henry, another European import that could take over my garden if given free rein. It’s a relatively unknown relative of more familiar edibles like lamb’s-quarters (Chenopodium album), epazote (C. ambrosioides) and quinoa (C. quinoa), and to me, the best-tasting of the lot. Even if you didn’t like the flavor of Good King Henry, you couldn’t help loving its botanical name, C. bonus-henricus. Eat it and weed.

Join me for a Drip Irrigation Workshop at the Phillies Bridge Farm Project in New Paltz on Saturday, May 14 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Learn how drip saves 60 percent in watering, why drip keeps plants healthier and how it saves you time by reducing weeding and being easily automated. This workshop will include the hands-on design and installation of a drip system. The cost is $57. Registration is necessary.

hese days, the Storm King Arts Center isn’t your father’s or even your grandfather’s 500acre outdoor museum/sculpture park. But it is John Stern’s father’s and grandfather’s 500-acre outdoor museum/sculpture park, and he’s only too happy – eager, even – to share the place with you. To that end, the president of this venerable and unique Mountainville

haven for artists and art-lovers alike has been reimagining the center, making it at once more attractive to the sorts of visitors who may have confused it in the past with being an elitist (not to say stodgy) sort of place.

Storm King was founded in 1960 by John Stern’s maternal grandfather, Ralph E. Ogden, and his father, H. Peter Stern.

John Stern has been president of Storm King since 2008, when he succeeded his father, who is honorary chair of the center’s Board of Directors. Ogden and the elder Stern were the co-owners of the nearby Star Expansion Company.

Initially, what is now the Center’s museum building was envisioned as a museum devoted to the Hudson River

School. But by 1961, Ogden and Stern had become committed to modern sculpture.

Enormous modern sculpture. Pieces that could take up all the air – and much of the space – in a traditional museum. So the purchases that Ogden and Stern made were sited outside the museum building as part of a formal garden scheme.

Soon enough, even that space became too confining. After the center purchased 13 monumental works by sculptor David Smith, Storm King began to place

sculpture directly in the landscape.

And not just plopped there: Every work at Storm King has been sited with consideration of both its immediate surroundings and its spectacular distant views.

Since becoming president eight years ago, John Stern has ushered in a new era at Storm King. At every turn, he said, he has seen the need and helped create the opportunity to put the sprawling, beautifully landscaped site into as many

artists’ hands and visitors’ eyes as possible.

“It’s such an amazing resource,” he said last week. “My goal has long been to bring more of an audience here to discover it for themselves.”

Stern can already demonstrate the success of that reimagining. When he took over as president, the center could claim 43,000 visitors during its weatherdriven season. Last year, those numbers

had tripled – to 148,000.

As he begins enumerating the programs and innovations that have been happening at Storm King, his voice gathers momentum as more and more examples come to mind. “Saturday-morning yoga has proven very popular,” he said. “And we’ve started offering guided moonlight walks in 2012; that’s also been hugely popular.”

Stern said that Storm King has increased its efforts to attract families. He doesn’t have to say it, but parents with young children don’t often find traditional museums child-friendly. When your space is as unfettered by walls, rules or velvet ropes as Storm King, it can be a go-to place for art-hungry parents who wish to introduce their children to the world of art. Families can ramble to their hearts’

content, as they always have, or can take advantage of a family-friendly tour of Storm King’s collection and its landscape on Sundays at 1 p.m.

Walking may not always be attractive or even possible for some visitors. Storm King has begun renting bikes, as well as offering tram service.

Then there’s the Shandaken Project.

Stern’s voice grows especially excited in describing this unique residency program.

“This is the Shandaken Project’s second year. The idea is Storm King awards 16 residencies of between two and six weeks from June until October, with three artists on the site at a time. The idea is for them to share their experiences there, while still allowing the artists to focus on their individual works.” After their residencies are complete, the artists come back for a return engagement, leading tours and sharing their experiences and the results of their stay at Storm King.

The Center will collaborate with Orange County’s Ferry Godmother Productions to present a cross-generational day of art and music at the site on Saturday, June 11. Six bands, playing six different genres of music ranging from country to swing to jazz to rock, will perform at six locations.

Educational workshops will be featured throughout the day.

And, with a nod to Storm King’s bestknown aspect: the presentation of an established artist’s new works – in this case, unique works titled Terrestrial Studio by the late Dennis Oppenheim.

The exhibition will feature outdoor and indoor sculpture, installation, sound, film and photography, as well as two major earthworks conceived by the artist, but never fully realized in his lifetime.

There’s more, Stern said, but you get the idea. Whatever you may have thought Storm King once was, it has now become more than you may have ever suspected – monumentally more than ever before.

– Jeremiah Horrigan Storm King Art Center is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. until October 31, and until 4:30 p.m. from November 1 to 27. For more information, visit http://stormking.org or call (845) 534-3115.

Fear in the factory Kirwan’s Game Store in Catskill hosts booksigning for Burton C. Bell’s graphic novel The Industrialist G r a p h ic novel geeks and heavy metal music fans will converge in Catskill this Saturday, as Greene County Council on the Arts (GCCA) and Kirwan’s Game Store jointly host a book-signing event marking the release of Burton C. Bell’s The Industrialist. The author is also the vocalist and frontman of the longrunning metal band Fear Factory.

British illustrator Noel Guard and renowned comic-book colorist Vachel Shannon will be on hand for the event at Kirwan’s as well.

Fear Factory has had a reputation since the ’90s for releasing concept albums with science fiction themes, and 2012’s The Industrialist is one of the more recent examples. Not surprisingly, it’s dystopian in theme and involves lots of robotic characters. Though the LP predated the

book, Bell has been quoted as calling it the “soundtrack� to accompany the graphic novel. The story is described as “a powerful post-apocalyptic tale of a freethinking automaton struggling to find his place in a futuristic society where laws protect the elite and powerful oligarchies dominate the masses.�

The event takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 14 at Kirwan’s Game Store, located at 369 Main Street in Catskill. Admission is free. The original artwork for The Industrialist, which has never been displayed before, is currently on view at GCCA’s upstairs gallery at 398 Main Street, as part of the group exhibition “Words and Images: The Art of Storytelling.� The gallery is open from 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, so you can easily catch both in one afternoon.

t’s time for people who venerate Nature to start going to CHRCH on Sundays. Beginning on May 15, the CHRCH Project Space located at 167 Cottekill Road in the Rosendale hamlet of Cottekill will welcome participants to a hands-on collaborative art project called Grandmother Earth.

According to eco-artist, Linda Weintraub, “Mother Earth, the age-old metaphor for our planet, is woefully out of date. It casts humans as perpetually dependent children who rely upon the Earth as their loving provider and protector‌. [and] excuses humans from assuming responsibility for maintaining the Earth’s wellbeing. Shifting metaphors to Grandmother Earth evokes the planet’s current fragility. It is only if we become her caregivers and caretakers that the vastness of her practical knowledge and ancient wisdom will be preserved.â€? Those of us who have experienced the demands of caring for aging parents, or who expect to at some future date, should be able to relate to that.

At present, the Grandmother Earth sculpture that Weintraub is creating from found natural materials – seeds, mushrooms, acorns, bark, twigs, bones, shells, moss, clay, lichens – stands ten feet by ten feet, dominating one end of the Project Space. Over the course of the exhibition, artists and non-artists, students and adults will have the opportunity to enlarge the artwork by contributing their own arrangements of forest offerings. By the closing date, it is hoped that the sculpture will occupy the entire building.

Want to forage and contribute your bit? Just show up any Sunday between 2 to 5 p.m., or by making an appointment with Weintraub at linda@artnowpublications. com or (845) 758-9289. A closing reception from 3 to 6 p.m. on June 26 will celebrate the completion (by accretion) of the sculpture.

HISTORY Vagabond Puppeteers documentary & director at Esopus Library Along with his anthems for the labor, Civil Rights, antiwar and environmental movements, Pete Seeger was highly esteemed for his children’s songs, dedicating a number of albums and countless concerts to entertainment for little ones. His humorous story/ song “Abiyoyo,” based on an African folktale about a plucky boy who overthrows a marauding giant using only his wits and his banjo, is a timeless classic.

One of the formative experiences that went into Seeger’s ease with performing for children was a tour of upstate New York when he was 20, with a puppetry troupe called the Vagabond Puppeteers.

The other members were Jerry Oberwager, Mary Walton and Harriet Holtzman, and their collective mission was to perform in farming communities as part of a campaign for rural electrification (this happened shortly before Woody Guthrie’s similar stint in Washington State, commissioned by the Bonneville Power Administration, that resulted in the Columbia River Ballads collection).

But the summer of 1939 was also the time when the Dairy Farmers’ Union organized strikes to demand a better price for their milk. The Puppeteers joined the dairy farmers’ efforts, adapting their performances to help the strikers’ cause. Their three-month adventure was documented through interviews with Oberwager and Seeger and made into a film, illustrated with artwork by Walton and archival photographs from the period.

The 19-minute documentary, titled Puppetry and Politics in 1939: The Vagabond Puppeteers, will be shown on Wednesday, May 18 at the Town of Esopus Library. The film’s director, Winifred Lambrecht, will be on hand for a discussion following the free 6:30 p.m. screening.

The Town of Esopus Library is located at 128 Canal Street in Port Ewen. For more info, call (845) 750-4438.

TALK

Local heroine Learn about Sojourner Truth before she appears on the back of the $10 bill

S

ojourner Truth, the firebrand abolitionist and suffragist, has been claimed as a hometown heroine by many local communities where she spent her early years. She was born a slave named Isabella Baumfree in what is now called Rifton, but was considered part of Hurley in 1797.

She was later sold to serve a family in what is now West Park, but was then called New Paltz Landing. Another of her owners put her to work in a tavern in the Esopus hamlet now known as Port Ewen. She fought to reclaim ownership of one of her sons at the Ulster County Courthouse in Kingston.

Soon she’ll be taking an honored place along with fellow Women’s Suffrage foremothers Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul on the back of the new US $10 bill. But in the meantime, it seems like every burg in central or southern Ulster County wants its fair share of Truth pride.

Some would say that the recognition of this major historical figure, along with the grim role of slavery in our region’s history, is long, long overdue.

Want to know more about the life, trials and achievements of Sojourner Truth beyond her famous “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech? Come to the Bevier House Museum at 2682 Route 209 in Marbletown this Sunday, May 15 at 3 p.m. The Ulster County Historical Society (UCHS) will present former Ulster County historian Anne Gordon delivering a lecture titled “Native Daughter: The Life of Sojourner Truth in Ulster County.” This is the latest in an ongoing series of UCHS events with the theme of “Celebrating Women in History,” to commemorate the 2017 centennial of women’s suffrage in New York State.

Admission to the talk is free for UCHS members, $7 for the general public, $5 for students, seniors and members of the military. For more information, visit www.ulstercountyhs.org.

born again? The dichotomous world that Yeats described nearly a century ago, where “the best lack all conviction/while the worst are full of passionate intensity” seems a perfect description of our own world – and of the world that Andrew Solomon confronts in his new book, Far and Away:

Reporting from the Brink of Change, a collection of his essays ranging over the past 25 years.

Solomon is a journalist and essayist whose most recent best-seller, Far from the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity, won the National Book Award in 2012; his previous best-

seller, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression, was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize. Rhinebeck’s Oblong Books and Music will present an evening with Solomon at the Morton Memorial Library in Rhinecliff on Friday, May 14.

In an interview last week, Solomon talked about how he recognized that his writings had a common theme that was particularly timely in the face of the country’s current political plunge into xenophobia and class and race hatred.

Like Yeats, he described a dichotomy that was particularly acute to him as a reporter: some journalists evaluated situations from a top-down perspective, interviewing heads of state and their ilk, as a way of understanding the world. The other perspective he called the “mythic common-man” approach, in which a journalist buttonholes anonymous taxi drivers and shopkeepers whose insights purportedly reflect the wisdom of ordinary people.

In rejecting this latter-day version of the “great man” theory of history, in which charismatic figures like Napoleon are thought to be history’s primary drivers, Solomon instead takes what he called a “Tolstoian” approach, in which history is driven by the actions not of acknowledged leaders, but of an unsung soldier whose deeds loom large in unsuspected ways.

“It’s infinitely complex,” he said.

Looking at history from the top down, journalists are not providing their readers with the full story. Neither perspective, he said, is accurate nor very useful. What Solomon said he has been drawn to over the years is a middle ground where he tried to make contact with thoughtful, engaged people.

Because he was an art critic in the early ’90s, it happened that the people he discovered in his earliest essays were artists. In Moscow, he said, he’d expected to write an exposé of Russian artists who he thought were doing mediocre work and selling it for exorbitant prices to collectors in the West. But on closer inspection and after immersing himself in their world – which included a time at the barricades in Moscow during the failed coup that ultimately triggered the end of the Soviet Union – Solomon said that those artists he’d planned to expose had instead exposed him to a way of thinking and seeing the world that was nothing short of transformational.

Far and Away carries that same theme, as Solomon travels to places as diverse and distant as Afghanistan and Myanmar – places where time and again he found the thread of a common humanity that rarely makes itself known to fly-by-night journalists or their stay-safely-at-home cousins, members of the punditocracy.

Travel itself, and his exposure to the common humanity that he identifies and explores in his book, has led Solomon to conclude that “how we negotiate otherness” is critical to the country’s and the world’s survival. “It’s a plea for internationalism as the only way forward,” he said.

Oblong Books and Music will present an evening’s discussion with Andrew Solomon on Friday, May 14 at 6 p.m. at the Morton Memorial Library in Rhinecliff.

Tickets are required and cost $10. The cost may be applied to the purchase of Far and Away (limited to one discount per book purchased). For further information or to buy tickets, call (845) 876-0500 or visit www.oblongbooks.com.

TASTE Ale for sail Day at Sloop Brewing in Elizaville this Saturday benefits restoration of Beacon Sloop Club’s flagship Woody Guthrie

LAUREN THOMAS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Gardiner Cupcake Festival on Saturday

t’s the perfect matchup: They both have “sloop” in their names and on their logos. Both entities are deeply invested in historic restoration projects: the Sloop Brewing Company in the 19th-century Elizaville barn where it now brews and serves its tasty products, and the Beacon Sloop Club in the Woody Guthrie, a reproduction of a classic Hudson River ferry sloop that is the baby brother to the Clearwater and also serves as an ambassador for environmental education, folk music, maritime lore and Hudson Valley history. Plus, everybody knows that sailors love their grog.

On Saturday, May 14 from 1 to 8 p.m., Sloop Brewing will host an outdoor beer-sampling event in the scenic apple orchard where the restored barn is situated. A ticket costing $60 (adults over age 21 only) entitles the holder to unlimited tasting, including special beers brewed just for this event. Plus, there’s a pig roast and vegetarian fare, live

he eighth annual Gardiner Cupcake Festival will be held on Saturday, May 14, rain or shine, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. Cupcakes from more than a dozen bakeries in the area will be available in a head-spinning array of flavors to choose from, including vegan and gluten-free versions. The spacious 453 acres of Wright’s Farm on Route 208 in Gardiner drew an estimated 10,000-plus visitors last year. This year, the farm will also host a full schedule of local bands, wine- and spirit-tastings, a kid zone and several food trucks.

The day will begin with the fourth annual 5K Cupcake Classic run. The course takes runners on gravel farm roads and grassland through apple and peach orchards against a backdrop of the Shawangunk Mountains. Walkers are welcome on the course, with or without a stroller, and friendly dogs can join in (but only if on a leash). The entry fee is $30, and all participants get a cupcake at the finish line.

After the 5K, the Festival begins. Participating cupcake vendors, as of presstime, include a few new participants and some returning favorites. Look for Whipped Cupcakes (in their retro food truck), Simply Sasa’s, Deising’s Bakery, the KokoPelli Cookie Co., Eat This! Bakery, Peace Love and Cupcakes, Mid-Hudson Cakes, For the Love of Cupcakes, Sinfully SWEET Desserts, Mimmy’s Mini Cakes & More, Cake Heights, Kupcake Kouture, Periwinkle’s at Rhinebeck and, of course, Wright’s Farm itself. Flavors available will range from the classic red velvet and double-chocolate varieties to the more unusual: maple bacon, vanilla rosewater and potato chip cupcakes.

The cupcake contest for amateur bakers offers some new categories this year for competitors. Winning entries will be chosen by taste in the categories of BestTasting Chocolate Cupcake and Best Candy Bar-Inspired Cupcake, but appearance will count more for homemade creations judged Best Animal-Decorated Cupcake and Best Star Wars-Themed Cupcake. (The latter two can incorporate multiple cupcakes in the design.) The cost to enter the competition is $10 per category (cash or money order only), with a limit of one entry per person per category. Cupcake check-in on Festival day is from 11 a.m. to 12 noon, with winners announced and cash prizes awarded around 2 p.m. Rules and the registration form are available on the Festival website. Cupcakes baked for the contest aren’t available for purchase, by the way.

Wright’s Farm is located at 699 Route 208 in Gardiner. There is plenty of parking on-site. More information is available at www.gardinercupcakefestival. com.

Funds raised will go toward the notfor-profit Beacon Sloop Club’s capital campaign to complete restoration of the 37-year-old Woody, which is currently undergoing major structural repairs at the Hudson River Maritime Museum.

So not only will you have big fun by attending, but you’ll also help speed the beautiful rivercraft’s return to its mission of offering free educational sails on the Hudson. And if you’ve tried any of Sloop Brewing’s beers, ales or sauers, you know that they are complex and delightful, with a sophistication that belies their rustic origins in a former hayloft.

It’s a no-lose proposition. Come on out this Saturday afternoon for “A Day at Sloop Brewing,” located at 1065 County Route 19 in Elizaville, near the Columbia/ Dutchess County border.

Craft beer and crafts Craft Brew Boogaloo & Hudson Valley Hullabaloo to team up at Cantine Field in Saugerties Sometimes we find that good ol’ American “rugged individualism” ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, and that seeking strength in unity, leveraging the unique talents and specializations of diverse partners, is more effective than going it alone. On Saturday, May 21, we’ll get to experience what happens when two recently spawned regional spring festivals join forces: the Craft Brew Boogaloo and the Hudson Valley Hullabaloo.

A project dreamed up by the folks at WDST/Radio Woodstock, the Craft Brew Boogaloo first surfaced last year at Cantine Field in Saugerties. Once again, it will feature more than 75 microbreweries – many though not all from New York State – offering more than 150 craft beers for the tasting. Two New Jersey brewers River Horse and Melovino Meadery, will be making their New York festival debuts here this year; and Queens-based Finback Brewing will make its first Hudson Valley appearance as one of the special offerings for VIP ticketholders only.

The $99 VIP ticket also entitles the bearer to early entry to the event (1 p.m. instead of 2), a special tent, seating and indoor bathrooms, plus $15 worth of food coupons and a swag bag. Regular entry costs $50 in advance, $55 on the day of the event. Designated Driver tickets cost $35 for VIP access and $10 for mere mortals.

The 2016 lineup for live music includes the Sweet Clementines, Yard Sale, Fife & Drom and the Bryan Brundige Trio.

Since its initial foray in 2013, the Hudson Valley Hullabaloo has been a Kingston event; but this year it’ll be joining the Boogaloo at Cantine Field.

Billing itself as “a design-focused, hip-andhappening, family-friendly event whose… aim is to offer shoppers the opportunity to purchase unique, high-quality, locally made items in a relaxed, partylike setting,” the Hullabaloo takes some pains to distance itself verbally from the popular conception of a crafts fair. Essentially, it’s arty; it has youthful attitude; it’s very Brooklyn-on-Hudson. And you can even sample some microbrews and really let your hair down while you shop. Rose & Dale will be in attendance with their mobile photobooth, set up inside a shiny, renovated 1963 Airstream trailer. They supply mood lighting, creative props, masks, silly hats and the like, so you can

May 12, 2016 go home with something to remind you of a day of commingled festivities.

Admission to the Hullabaloo costs $2 at the gate; a $10 Premier Pass, purchasable online, gets you in an hour early, at 10 a.m. instead of 11. Both events wrap up at 6 p.m., and the rain date is Sunday, May 22.

Swap for Sinterklaas Clean out your closets and drawers, and bring your castoffs to the sixth annual “Love It or Swap It” clothing swap, to be held this Sunday at the Primrose Hill School in Rhinebeck.

The event is a fundraiser for Sinterklaas: that patron of children and sailors and unwed maidens who shows up each year to spread peace and joy to the Rhinebeck and Kingston communities. It's a Dutch tradition brought to life with a grand parade and other festivities.

All that winter holiday bling requires resources – thus the fundraising efforts in the spring, and just in time to do some cleaning out of the stuff that you no longer wear. The way it works is: You bring in 20 items of clothing (in good condition and on hangers, please) and go home with an equal number of newly found garments. Acceptable items include women’s clothes, accessories, jewelry, handbags and shoes, plus small re-gift items such as unused and unopened candles, soaps, perfumes et cetera.

The entrance fee of $25 goes straight into the Sinterklaas coffers, along with proceeds from other purchases from local vendors on hand to increase inventory.

The SinterStore will offer premium merchandise and gift certificates at fabulous prices, such as select items from Eileen Fisher, No Sugar, Haldora, Hammertown, Haven, Izlind, Distinctly Himalayan and Fiddleheads. Look for Prada shoes, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Henri Bendel handbags…you’ll never know what you just can’t live without until you spot it on a sale shelf.

Meanwhile, mini-massages will be offered by Anton Taiga and Suzu Kawamoto, massage therapists from the Izlind Integrative Wellness Center & Institute in Rhinebeck. Take a 15-minute break from shopping and get a massage for only $10.

Or have a free mini-facial makeover by artists from Face Stockholm, purveyors of makeup, skin and body care products and fragrances. Then sit down with Tarot card reader Cait Johnson, an intuitive “soul coach,” poet, author of six spiritbased nonfiction titles and freelance book editor. Trained at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Johnson has been doing compassionate Tarot readings since she was 16. Avail yourself of a free card reading before you finish your big swap.

Swappers can drop off clothing items on Saturday, May 14 between 2 and 4 p.m.,

or bring them on Sunday.

Margaretville hosts Spring on Main Street

Gardiner Liquid Mercantile

Five local businesses – Whitecliff Vineyard in Gardiner, Yard Owl Craft Brewery in Gardiner, Kettleborough Cider House in New Paltz, Bad Seed Cider in Highland and Gardiner Liquid Mercantile, a new restaurant/ store/bar in Gardiner that serves only local drinks – will come together on Saturday, May 21 to offer a $25 tasting tour with the theme of “bubbles.”

Focusing on small-scale, high-quality craft alcohol production, “Apples, Grapes & Barley” is designed to introduce sippers to the broad variety of artisanal beverages bubbling up around the area, including fine champagne from locally grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, small-batch kegconditioned beers and unique local hard ciders.

Highlighting an emerging trend in agricultural development – one that aims toward diversity and traditional crop experimentation – the event celebrates the efforts of New York State growers and entrepreneurs to expand on the variety of products becoming available. Highquality, small-batch production is taking hold and bringing tourism to the area, as people expose themselves to the excellent tastes and textures of local brews, ciders and wines. And as Yancey StanforthMigliore, co-owner with Michael Migliore of Whitecliff Vineyard, writes, “The range of businesses involved says a lot about how agriculture is changing in our area.”

Each location on the tour will provide a sampling of four products and accompanying snacks, with specials and discounts available for ticketholders. All five stops are within 15 miles of each other, and tasting tickets can be purchased in advance at a discount for $20 at www. whitecliffwine.com or from any of the participating businesses. They can also be purchased for $25 at each business on the day of the tour.

The village of Margaretville is set to welcome the new season with Spring on Main Street, a celebration guaranteed to get neighbors and friends out from wherever they’ve been holed up for months. There will be music from Ben Rounds. Main Street businesses will be hosting events in their stores, such as a wine-tasting at Margaretville Liquors and the Grand Opening of Catskill Candies and Confections, offering handmade chocolates and other delectables. Summerfield’s Restaurant will be on the street making pizza in its oven.

Learn to cast flies with local guide Lenny Millen. Pick up a trick or two at a karate demonstration. Take a pony ride.

And what about a Rhubarb Cooking Contest? Home Goods of Margaretville is inviting all bakers, chefs and aspiring cooks to enter the competition under two categories: Sweet and Savory. The top three contestants in each category will win prizes.

Last year’s entries included rhubarb muffins, rhubarb cobbler, rhubarb salsa and rhubarb grilled chicken – so get creative. Entries are due at Home Goods by 1:30 p.m., and judging will take place at 2 p.m. Home Goods of Margaretville is located at 784 Main Street.

Month. With its emphasis on reclaiming old rail routes in and around the City of Kingston and adapting them into biking paths, the Kingston Land Trust is touting a packed roster of cycling events.

Already in progress is a weekly Youth Bicycle Education Program for 10-to-15year-olds called Bike It! which sets out from the YMCA of Kingston, located at 507 Broadway, most Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. It’s geared toward newbies, with instruction provided along with the loan of bikes and helmets for those who don’t already own any. A registration fee of $35 for YMCA members, $50 for non-members signs your kid up through June 25. Call (845) 338-3810 for details.

This Saturday morning, May 14, volunteers from the local real estate trade will gather in their grubbies at the Immaculate Conception Church on Delaware Avenue to participate in Realtors for Clean Trails Work Day by sprucing up the Kingston Point Rail Trail.

This Sunday, May 15, the third annual YMCA Bike Fest will roll into Midtown and Uptown Kingston from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a community bike ride for all ages, bike education and games for kids, a free bicycle repair station, contests and raffles and a place to donate old bikes for the YMCA’s Lend a Wheel program.

W

hen the once- and sometimes-New Paltzbased songwriter Liana Gabel brought her fellow Rochesterians Maybird down for a show at Snug Harbor, the upstate lads blew me away with both the musical imagination and the professional polish of their game. That particular combination of qualities virtually screams “industry interest,” and, sure enough, more than a year later, this now BKbased band returns to Snugs all signed and shit.

Guitar rock – even psychedelic/indie guitar rock with Radiohead sonics and radio-ready melodies – is hardly in fashion at the moment. In fact, any number of well-educated white male writers have declared the entire order of well-educated white male guitar bands to be clinically incapable of relevance under current and foreseeable cultural conditions.

we shall see about Maybird. Most of their boroughmates make straight-up electropop records now, even as they still rock on six strings live. Not Maybird, whose lovely EP Turning into Water (just out on Danger Mouse’s 30th Century Records) convincingly acts as if a rootsinflected, guitar-based dream-pop record still might mean something to someone somewhere.

CONCERT

Miranda Lambert plays Bethel Woods The reigning six-time-consecutive Country Music Association (CMA) and Academy of Country Music (ACM) Female Vocalist of the Year, Miranda Lambert is not missing a beat in 2016. She is heading out on the road for her headlining tour with special guest, multi-platinum singer/ songwriter Kip Moore and the CMA- and ACM-nominated duo, the Brothers Osborne, stopping at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Thursday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets cost $79.75 for reserved seating and $38 for general admission lawn.

A lawn four-pack for $120 will be available for a limited time only, as supplies last. Tickets are available at www.bethelwoodscenter.org or at www.ticketmaster. com, or by phone at (800) 745-3000. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

raw, unvarnished grit and wild roots sensibility. Their story is as Old World as their sound: They travel the world, playing anywhere from warehouses in New Orleans to pirate ships in Amsterdam. Full of sawing and rattling fiddles, banjos, mandolins stomping boards, there is a dirt-floor and mythrich quality to Mama’s Broke that should be right at home in the roots and retro-conscious mid-Hudson Valley.

Mama’s Broke performs at the Rosendale CafÊ on Saturday, May 14 at 8 p.m. Admission costs $10. The Rosendale CafÊ is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. For information, visit http:// rosendalecafe.com.

Dig just this handful of credits: Music from Big Pink, The Band (the brown album) and The Last Waltz by the Band; Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin; and Bookends by Simon and Garfunkel. Enough said, yes? The rest of the list doesn’t let up much: Leonard Cohen, Gil Evans, Taj Mahal, Blood, Sweat and Tears, the Mamas & the Papas, Emmylou Harris and many other names you know.

Those are just Simon’s production credits. In the great tradition of the Golden Age producer, Simon possesses the full skillset: producer, arranger, composer and player. Of all his vastly impressive performance credits, one really jumps out me: He was the pianist in Howlin’ Wolf ’s band in the early ’70s. As a composer, he has written or co-written songs recorded

by Cher, Manfred Mann, Tom Scott, David Sanborn, Dusty Springfield and the proverbial Many More.

Enough with the lists. Here’s what gets me: this consummate music person released a dazzlingly sophisticated and imaginative piano pop record of his own, John Simon’s Album, in 1970. With its blend of musical theater forms, delightful piano rags, wildly inventive horn charts and Americana narrative with a light sense of folksy psychedelia, John Simon’s Album should not be news to me, but it is.

It stands right alongside Randy Newman’s Sail Away (Simon’s “Rain Song� is as delicate and musical as anything on Newman’s masterpiece, and in exactly the same way), Van Dyke Parks’ Song Cycle and the work of the rest of pop’s most sophisticated and eccentric auteurs.

A legend above legends, John Simon appears in a rare solo performance at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts at 34 Tinker Street in Woodstock on Saturday, May 14. His performance, titled after his manuscript Truth, Lies and Hearsay, is one in which music meets memoir. Bass

player Rich Syracuse and drummer Jeff Siegel will accompany Simon as he plays the K/J’s historic 1926 Steinway piano.

The performance begins at 8 p.m.

U

nder various names and guises, Frenchy and the Punk have been working their particular brand of acoustic ethno-punk for a great number of years, touring the world with their colorful, costumed and sonically rich show in which the sensual cabaret eccentricity of Frenchy (Samantha Stephenson) meets the propulsive and earthy energy of the Punk (Scott Helland). The New Paltz-based-but-seldom-stationary duo swings through the area again for a show at the Anchor in Kingston on Tuesday, May 17.

This is a keen bill with a Gypsy/Steampunk orientation, also featuring London’s the Men That Will Not Be Blamed, Boston’s Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys. The show starts at 9 p.m. The cover charge is a mere $5 at the door.

Abby Hollander Band picks it up at Rosendale Cafe

The Abby Hollander Band makes its annual foray to the Rosendale Cafe for a sweet night of bluegrass, country and Americana, with a couple of sets beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, May 20.

Abby is a singer, bassist and guitarist, and songwriter who grew up in Woodstock in a family of musicians (Mom Francine and dad, Brian have been performing in the area for most of the last 40 years, and big brother Jonah Bruno is an accomplished banjoist, who shows his face around here occasionally...) As such, Abby was raised on an eclectic mix of bluegrass, country, and jazz, and was surrounded by world class pickers and singers. In her travels so far she’s studied voice, violin, and theatre, absorbed some swing and blues from a stint in Austin, and moved a piano across the country twice to finally settle in New York and make music.

Two of Abby's songs that are featured

on her CD, won awards in the songwriting competition at the 2014 Podunk Bluegrass Music Festival.

Along with her bluegrass band, she's been a featured emerging artist at Grey Fox, Joe Val, and Ossipee Valley music festivals.

She'll be joined at the venerable Rosendale establishment by Jason Borisoff, a beautiful guitarist and an award-winning songwriter himself, who was a founding member of 2013 Fresh Grass Band Competition award winner Cricket Tell The Weather.

Longtime Hollander cohort banjoist Ellery Marshall adds careful attention to groove and musicality in his tasteful and driving straight-ahead 5-string picking. Most recently Ellery released an album of Thelonious Monk tunes adapted for bluegrass instrumentation.

Mandolinist Joseph Scott, from Taylorsville, N.C., completes the group for this night. A serious player for nearly 20 years, Joseph can be heard on several releases with Patuxent Music, and while living in Asheville he was a regular with Ashleigh Caudill, Jon Stickley, and Billy Constable.

Admission is $10. The Rosendale Cafe is at 434 Main Street, Rosendale. The

don't take reservations for the show, so come early and try some vegetarian food. For more information, call 845658-9048.

Tara O’Grady to perform at Unison in New Paltz The Unison Arts & Learning Center in New Paltz presents jazz and swing revivalist Tara O’Grady & Her Black Velvet Band on Saturday, May 21 at 8 p.m. The title of O’Grady’s record A Celt in the Cotton Club nails her style pretty precisely: a blend of Golden Age jazz song and her Irish heritage.

Tara’s recording of “Danny Boy” was #6 in the Best-Selling Blues songs in the UK. Irish Voice named her its Most Influential Woman in 2010.

Tickets for Tara O’Grady & Her Black Velvet Band cost $22 in advance, $24 at the door general admission, and $18 and $20 for Unison members. Students get in for half-price at the door. For tickets and more information, visit www.unisonarts. org or call (845) 255-1559. The Unison Arts Center is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz.

MOVIE

Matteo Garrone's Tale of Tales

Monarchs amok Tale of Tales is magical, stunning and very dark

I

t only ran for a week at Upstate Films Rhinebeck, and not at all at Upstate Films Woodstock.

Last I checked, it wasn’t yet on the Rosendale Theatre schedule. But if you can find a way to get your eyeballs on Matteo Garrone’s Tale of Tales (Il racconto dei racconti), and if fairytales have ever meant anything to you at all, you absolutely must see this movie. It’s the most gorgeous piece of cinema that I’ve seen in I-don’t-know-how-long.

Christian Andersen or the Brothers Grimm, and even a century earlier than Charles Perrault, an Italian courtier/ soldier/poet named Giambattista Basile (1566-1632) was collecting fairytales from all over the then-known world, rewriting them in a Neapolitan dialect that unfortunately soon became so obscure that his works never enjoyed the wide proliferation of the collectors who followed in his footsteps.

His Lo cunto de li cunti overo lo trattenemiento de peccerille, a/k/a The Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little Ones, better-known as the Pentamerone, contains the earliest known European version of Rapunzel, and the first “modern� European Cinderella story.

But that reference to “Little Ones� is purely ironic. These stories on which Tale of Tales is based are even darker and grimmer than the Grimms ever managed,

full of sex and gore and grotesqueries.

Trust me on this: You would not want to take your kids to see this movie.

Among the main characters are a king with a serious sex addiction (Vincent Cassel) who becomes infatuated by the beautiful singing voice of a crone (Hayley Carmichael); another king (a hilarious Toby Jones) who neglects his daughter (Bebe Cave) because h e’s o b s e s s e d with raising a performing flea to the size of a hog; creepy albino twins (Christian and Jonah Lees) who look like they stepped out of Fellini’s Satyricon; a queen (Salma Hayek) blithely willing to send her husband (John C. Reilly) to his death in order to become magically pregnant... and so on. People generally behave badly or foolishly. There’s plenty of gruesome, explicit violence. It’s not a film for the faint of heart by any means.

It’s the most gorgeous piece of cinema that I’ve seen in I-don’tknow-how-long.

But there’s also a lot of black humor, and the frequent supernatural elements are treated so offhandedly that the whole experience has more of the flavor of magical realism than the fey sense of wonder of that we associate with “traditional� fairytales. The performances are terrific all around, though it took me a while to get used to the oddly stilted dialogue, typical of Basile’s original book.

At first it almost sounded like the film was dubbed; though an Italian/French/British production, Tale of Tales was in fact made in English.

Where the wonder really comes in is in the locations and the cinematography, which are both absolutely stunning, the visual tone as bright and golden as the characters are dark and self-serving.

Very little CGI was used to enhance the settings, which made me want to run off to Italy immediately. I had no idea that all those medieval villas, villages, forts, gardens, castles, caves and forests look so‌well, authentically medieval. The set design, costumes and props (including some great non-animated monsters) are all first-rate, worthy of the beauty of the locales. Tale of Tales is an absolute feast for the eyes and the imagination. – Frances Marion Platt

Tatiana Rhinevault exhibition at St. Margaret's in Red Hook A true Moscow-on-the-Hudson story unfolds this month with a retrospective exhibit at St. Margaret’s Historic Site in Red Hook. Russian-born Impressionist painter Tatiana Rhinevault now lives and works in Hyde Park, but she earned her Master’s Degree at the Moscow Institute before moving to New York City.

Rhinevault's work has been likened to “windows through which one can see the old streets and monuments of Europe.� “Still Life in Motion,� for example, has the feel of a Carl Larsson “Et Heim� painting with its delightful suggestion of a hospitable repast – the

voluptuous flowers, the sliced fruit,

a shiny liquor bottle with red crystal

let’s talk siding: Choose from rough cut, board and batten, beveled, novelty, channel rustic, ship lap, log cabin, or Adirondack / wavy edge. All in Eastern white pine, locally harvested and produced.

bit of humor, are detailed in rich colors.

In contrast, “Hudson R i v e r, Poughkeepsie” represents a dreamy view of the river without any clues as to how we should react, with blotches of autumn on one shore and a swath of seagulls flitting over the flood of water; while “Amber Waves” and “After Rain” rely even less on fine lines and hints of sentimentality. The viewer gets a sense of the artist’s experimentation and growth in this progression of styles.

Forty-seven water color and oil paintings are on exhibit at St. Margaret’s. The rooms of the onetime orphanage for girls hold works loosely organized according to themes, with one room of watercolors and the others filled with oil paintings. A special room is dedicated to “lighting a torch” for children who have been traumatized by war. It houses a work that has never before been shown, and that memorializes Rhinevault’s own familial experiences of WWII in Russia.

“I feel honored to show my work in this building,” she says, referencing its historical and architectural importance

recorded on both the State and the National Registers of Historic Places.

As a young woman in 1990, Rhinevault worked on a project for the US Embassy in Moscow, where she met her soonto-be husband. Their job was to create English maps of Moscow to promote tourism, a task that took a half a year.

“And when it was published in 1991,” she says, “revolution happened! Our map turned into an antique map, because a lot of streets, we decided to return to old names from before the Soviet revolution. Last time I was in Moscow five years ago, I saw our map hanging in the American Embassy!”

Rhinevault – who started out as a

May 12, 2016 make-up artist with a theater company that took her out of Moscow and to stages all over Europe – talks about finally settling in New York’s Hudson Valley, known even in the former Soviet Union for its beauty made famous by Hudson River School artists. “My husband l i k e s b e tt e r t h e country, while I’m a city girl. So we chose a place only two hours from the big city, thinking that’s not too far away.”

Rhinevault has opened an art studiogallery in the back yard of her home, which is located in the village of Hyde Park at 6 Main Street. (Please call before you come at 845-229-8225.)

An opening reception will be held on Thursday, May 12, with a special musical per formance by young members of the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra, Akiko Kamigawara on violin with Jean Vilkelis on cello. The exhibit at St. Margaret’s continues through Memorial Day weekend.

World War II Quilts talk this Sunday at FDR Library in Hyde Park

"Liberty" was a pattern published in Farm Journal in 1941 in support of our country in World War II.

Over Presidents’ Day weekend, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum hosted an illustrated talk on “Quilts Presidential and Patriotic” by the author of the book of the same name, Sue Reich. That presentation must have sparked plenty of interest, because Reich will return to the Wallace Center this Sunday, May 15 for a follow-up program.

Getting underway at 2 p.m., the free talk and book-signing will feature the quilter/collector/scholar/lecturer’s 2010 publication, World War II Quilts. During those years of rationing, making do with leftover scraps became a sort of patriotic duty, like planting Victory Gardens; and the art of quilting experienced both a revival of popularity and an infusion of new themes, such as military insignia.

Many American women applied their needlework skills during the war years to making quilts for the benefit of US soldiers, either as gifts or as raffle items to raise money for good causes.

Copies of Reich’s book will be available for sale after the talk. For more info about this and other upcoming events at the FDR Library, call (845) 486-7745, e-mail clifford.laube@nara.gov or visit www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu. The Henry A. Wallace Center Visitor and Education Center is located at 4079 Albany Post Road (Route 9) in Hyde Park.

NIGHT SKY

Time for a trade-in?

Alternative models if space and time don’t exist

T

he universe has been screwy for a long time. It’s big-time illogical. Everything popped out of nothingness one Saturday morning?

Such issues now arise because my new book just came out. Written with Robert Lanza, MD, who recently made Time’s list of the “100 Most Influential People in the World” (he’s famous for stem cell research), we together feel that a boatload of science points toward the cosmos being correlative with life. Let me explain.

First, physicists increasingly realize that they themselves critically affect what’s being observed.

That’s why noted physicist John Wheeler said, “No phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon.”

Second, we’ve known for a long time that nature’s colors occur strictly within our minds. There are actually no colors “out there.” Photons are oscillating electrical and magnetic fields. On their own, they have no brightness. So the observed universe occurs solely within our consciousness. Our minds’ algorithms create our perceptions. Ignoring this means that we blind ourselves to a big part of what’s going on.

Third, our cosmological models are based on space and time. We all picture ourselves in a galaxy widely separated from others, with causations rooted in the ancient past. This is accurate, but only on a relative level. Einstein taught us that neither space nor time has any absolute reality. Each warps according to local conditions like gravity and speed. Distances mutate like smoke in a dream.

Time, too, changes its rate according to local circumstances. Quantum mechanics show that on some level, there is no separation between objects. When an electron leaves its blurry “wave-function” state to become an actual entity with location or motion, its entangled twin instantaneously pops into existence as a complementary particle. Their actions disregard distance and light-speed restrictions. They behave simultaneously, as if time doesn’t exist. The connection holds even if they are separated by the width of the universe.

So we know that neither space nor time has any absolute reality. We ourselves create this spatiotemporal scaffolding. They are tools of animal perception. We carry around space and time like turtles with shells. They are thus an inadequate framework for modeling the universe.

Fourth, it isn’t just the Big Bang that’s bathed in mystery. Thanks to space’s large-scale flat topology, we know that the observable universe, bounded by galaxies receding at

Care to explore models that fit the science of the past half-century? The book by Dr. Robert Lanza and Bob Berman is titled Beyond Biocentrism: Rethinking Time, Space, Consciousness and the Illusion of Death.

light speed, represents only a tiny fraction of reality. The actual cosmos may be infinite in both size and inventory; but even if not, our data’s sample size is currently too minuscule to be trustworthy.

And what do potentially lie within view are mostly unknown components like dark matter and dark energy. Thus our ignorance of the overall cosmos is profound – including basics like what it is, how it started, whether it is infinite, its destiny, what it’s composed of and the relationship between the living and the nonliving. Since standard explanations leave us in a murky place, it may be time for a revision.

Care to explore models that much better fit the science of the past half-century? The book is titled Beyond Biocentrism: Rethinking Time, Space, Consciousness and the Illusion of Death. Yes, as a bonus, you get to see why you don’t actually die.

Deepak Chopra just said about this book, “It will forever alter your understanding of your own existence.” Discover called it “a joyride through...science and cutting-edge physics...to find the long-overlooked connection between the conscious self and the universe around us.”

Nonetheless, if after looking at the evidence you decide that it’s cow fertilizer, and tell me so on one of our astronomy tours, I won’t get mad. All this is less important than having fun and liking each other and being blown away by nature.

The rapturous celestial beauty that is the sine qua non for observers remains untouched, regardless of your worldview. So if you decide to retain the existing model, fine. But it’s good to be aware that some heavy-hitters agree: Cosmology is begging for a reboot – one that brings life into the equation.
