MUSIC Greg Brown comes to Helsinki
L
ike many others, I first heard the name and the unmistakable voice of Greg Brown in the ‘90s. The burnished baritone with a fair bit of trouble on his mind had been releasing stark and roughly interchangeable folk/rural blues records since the early ‘80s. Some of his strongest work (Further In, Slant 6 Mind) happened to coincide with the cultural arrival of the grunge mind and its taste for dark myth and pain. In that atmosphere, Brown’s always-reliable work found its greatest resonance and relevance as well as a cult following – as did Tom Waits’, and for similar reasons, though the Waits cult is considerably larger. Brown’s lyrics are an embarrassment of riches: telling details, well-turned phrases, efficient characterizations and cultural touchstones whizzing by, and a beatnik playfulness and surrealism that keep things unpredictable, if not exactly light. He may be an old-soul folkie channeling Howlin’ Wolf and Hank Williams, but there is an unstudied, uncostumed ease to Greg Brown that I am not afraid to call authenticity. Of course, his lyrics are way

better than they have to be. The sheerest drivel would sound authoritative and deep in that voice. While Brown’s voice and writing are always foregrounded, subtle pleasures

A truly American mélange of sweet folk and acoustic blues, Brown is afraid neither of a hint of hippie funk nor of a burst of beatnik jazz spiel, replete with bongos and wrenched, dissonant electric guitar. Much of his output is graced by the wickedly articulate slide guitar-playing of Bo Ramsey. Greg Brown visits the warm and acoustically pristine Club Helsinki in Hudson on Friday, April 28 at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $40 to $45 and are available at www.helsinkihudson.com.

“We want to show that we are going to stand up against intolerance and hatred,” said guitarist and composer Marc Ribot, a friend of local residents and one of several artists slated to perform at the event. “We intend this to be a celebration of strength and diversity and to show our unified resistance to bias and the conditions that cause and allow it.” Musicians scheduled to perform on April 23 at BSP include Ceramic Dog (Marc Ribot, Ches Smith and Shahzad Ismailly), Nfamara Badjie, the Paul Green Rock Academy, Bill Brovold and Friends and the Jamie Saft Trio with Brad Jones and Ben Perowsky, plus special guests. The event is free to the public. Contributions will be accepted, and any proceeds will be donated to local organizations working on these issues here in the Hudson Valley.

JAZZSTOCK HOSTS JOEY ALEXANDER TRIO ON FRIDAY AT WOODSTOCK PLAYHOUSE

n Bali, they say, everyone – regardless of profession – is an artist. Making art of some kind is regarded as a daily activity as natural and essential as breathing. But even there, prodigies sometimes emerge whose talents are so…well, prodigious that the rest of the world begins to sit up and take notice. Such a case is Denpasar-born pianist Josiah Alexander Sila, stage name Joey Alexander, who revisits Woodstock this Friday shortly after competing for a Grammy – his third. He turns 14 in June. Fourteen, and he has already turned the jazz world on its ear in the short period since being recruited by Wynton Marsalis to play at Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2014. Check out his videos on YouTube and you’ll understand why. A fair few talented youngsters who practice really hard develop impressive technical chops; but this kid has a true gift for sophisticated improvisation, and he plays with feeling. Find out why he’s knocking the socks off the jazz cognoscenti, to the point where his tender age seems almost irrelevant. Jazzstock brings the Joey Alexander Trio with Alex Claffy on bass and Willie Jones III on drums to the Woodstock Playhouse this Friday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $40, $50 and $60 (and yes, this show will sell out, so make your move quickly!). To order, call (845) 679-6900 or visit www.woodstockplayhouse.org/joey-alexander-trio-at-jazzstock. The Playhouse is located at 103 Mill Hill Road (Route 212) in Woodstock.

Mipso at Bearsville on Sunday The North Carolina new-old-folk quartet Mipso aims for an archaic string band sound with a matching set of timeless Americana personae, intending to betray little if any evidence of the modern world within the musical and thematic confines of their songs. They really miss the mark, and in a wonderful variety of ways. There is too much hippie and sublimated DMV in their grooves, too many jazz,

4 tin pan alley, and modern acoustic pop moves in their chord changes, and they themselves seem somewhat unconvinced by the authenticity of their own weary wisdom and hill linguistics. To which, I say good on you. If there is anything we don’t need any more of, it is unassailably airtight retro and studious period reconstructions by costumed young people, dissatisfied with the available modern identities and as intoxicated as their parents by that “old, weird America,” words that I bet Greil Marcus would take back right now, given the chance. Mipso may be bad at identity but they are pretty damn good at music and words. They play their woody axes with a lithe and light touch, they sing agreeably, they swing together, and their elegant, pop harmonic moves are welcome to these ears. M i p s o’s t h i r d a n d c u r r e n t release, Coming Down the Mountain is their first with drums. Otherwise the rules remain more or less the same. There are some concessions to modern production — a lone electric piano, by my count — and a bit of a relaxed willingness to let the 21st (or at least the second half of the 20th) century play into their lyrical purview in the form of a rented Toyota and a few other artifacts of the present. The effect is that of antiquing the now. They still seem stuck halfway on the road to the past, like a somewhat more serene (and musically savvy) version of Seattle’s The Head and the Heart. Luckily, their many fans aren’t asking them to be anything but their sweet and ultra-musical selves. No one really knows how to act anyway. It’s fine.

The one-act pantomime ballet, based on a scandalous story by Melchior Lengyel, was deemed so morally offensive that it was barred from further performance after the premiere in 1926 in Cologne. The shorter ballet suite to be performed by TON will be coupled with a rare performance of Ligeti’s microtonal Violin Concerto with soloist Matthew Woodard (one of the Bard Conservatory’s 2016 Concerto Competition winners) and Dohnányi’s Symphony No. 2.

STAGE
Steven Wright at UPAC on Saturday
“I
t’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it.” Unsmiling, vaguely vertiginous, working in short bursts of non-sequitur, intellectual queasiness and semantic flex, Steven Wright was the antidote to every stand-up comedy cliché when he emerged in the mid-1980s. In 1985 he released a hit comedy record, I Have a Pony. His first HBO comedy special was a smash success. His memorable, repeatable and absurdist jokes – “I have a large seashell collection that I keep along all the major coasts” – made the rounds in a fashion that we would have called viral if we had had the word for it. In an age dominated by fiercely confessional comics like Louie C. K. and Maria Bamford, Wright keeps on teasing brains in his deadpan, sleepy way. He performs at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston on Saturday, April 22 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $31 to $55, based on location. They are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. – John Burdick

Today is the Day at Darkside Records this Saturday
Through many years and two locations, Darkside Records and Gallery in Poughkeepsie has distinguished itself as an old-school record store in it for the long haul, way ahead of the vinyl resurgence curve. Since moving to its spacious new location and filling this space with every genre and media, Darkside has become a committed and well-outfitted live music ven-

ue as well. The store sports a well-lit small stage and a sound system that many clubs would be quite happy with. On Saturday, April 22, Darkside celebrates the tenth annual Record Store Day with a special guest: legendary progressive metal band Today Is the Day. Anchored by guitarist and writer Steve Austin, Today Is the Day has released nine albums since the early ’90s and has been a finishing school for metal players bound for the top of the trade, including the founding members of Mastodon. Celebrating its own 25th anniversary, Today Is the Day is currently recording a follow up to 2014’s Animal Mother. Today Is the Day takes the stage at 8 p.m. This special anniversary performance is free and open to all ages. Darkside Records and Gallery is located at 611 or more information, see darksiderecordsandgallery.com.
with their roots in classical Roman farce and medieval Italian commedia dell’arte, are surefire crowd-pleasers that bear endless revisitation. Chronicling the adventures of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth, The Comedy of Errors exploits all the potential for mirth and absurdity involved in the theme of mistaken identities, and is guaranteed not to send the audience home feeling bummed out…like, say, Macbeth might. It’s also a great way to refresh your arsenal of pithy Shakespearean insults. Connie Rotunda, assistant professor

T
his is the last one, I promise: the final wrap-up of my analysis of 2016 Academy Award contenders. Catching every nominee is a hopeless cause; but as a dewy-eyed True Believer in animation as a rapidly evolving artform, I do make a point of trying to see all the Best Animated Feature picks. Sadly, My Life as a Zucchini never made it to a theater near you (or me). This year’s other oddball foreign entry, The Red Turtle, has finally surfaced, however, and should stick around for another week at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck. See it if you can.

The Red Turtle is being marketed, cannily enough, as a co-production of the prestigious Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli, and it is reported that the film’s genesis was sparked by Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki’s enthusiasm for Dutch/British director MichaÍl Dudok de Wit’s Oscar-winning 2000 short, Father and Daughter. But The Red Turtle has much more in common aesthetically with de Wit’s very European earlier work than it does with Japanese anime style. Where the backgrounds of a Studio Ghibli movie are typically dense with painstakingly painted detail and bright colors, this simple, wordless tale of a shipwrecked sailor mostly unfolds against muted, Impressionistic expanses of sand and sea and sky. The human characters are barely
sketched and have no dialogue at all, but still somehow manage to convey profound volumes of feeling. The island where the protagonist is washed up appears to be somewhere in Asia – there’s a dense bamboo forest in the interior – but the folkloric roots of the story could be from most a ny w h e r e . In Northern Europe, its analogue would be a selkie legend, but in this case the shapeshifting woman (or perhaps goddess) is a sea turtle, rather than a seal. In her animal form she stymies his repeated attempts to escape from the island on a bamboo raft – as it turns out, because she has fallen in love with him. He sees only a threatening gigantic turtle, and kills her in his frustration. But that’s only the awkward beginning of their long and tender story together.
In Northern Europe, its analogue would be a selkie legend, but in this case the shapeshifting woman (or perhaps goddess) is a sea turtle, rather than a seal.

It feels strange not to be able to praise voice actors for their contributions to an animated film’s emotional heft. “Deceptively simple� is the phrase that reviewers keep grasping in their efforts to convey what must be seen to be understood in The Red Turtle. Its characters say more in a simple gesture than most animated critters do in half an hour’s worth of clever chatter. So do land and sea and sky. I’ve never seen angles of sunlight, moonlight and shadow, or the paths of the wind through leaves and grasses and the surface of water, rendered so carefully as they appear here – to the point where the viewer can always tell what time of day or night it is. You can almost feel the temperature, the humidity. Countless tiny clues tell you how much time has elapsed since the previous scene. By the end, the geography of the island will be as familiar to you as if you too had spent years living on it, nearly-but-notquite alone, and the sailor’s little family will feel like your own. Too many words ill become a movie like this, which is all about the visual evocation of nature and survival, archetypes and dreams and redemption. So I’ll just urge you to go see The Red Turtle. You will find it beautiful and moving. – Frances Marion Platt

EVENT
UPSTATE FILMS MARKS EARTH DAY WITH SUNDAY SCREENING, DISCUSSION OF TOMORROW
F
eeling upset, alarmed, even depressed about the state of the nation and the world? Wish that there were something you could do about it, but don’t know how or where to start? Don’t let that furious energy burn you up inside; harness it for good! This weekend – Earth Day – you might want to check out the latest offering in Upstate Films’ Engage Film Series: Tomorrow, an inspiring 2015 documentary about environmental and social challenges and what people in hundreds of communities around the world are doing to address them. After having her first child, French actress/director Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Basterds, Beginners), became increasingly aware of reports stating that humans’ environmental impact on the planet had reached a critical stage, threatening life as we know it. Though the facts are sobering, the film she made with Cyril Dion goes beyond disaster scenarios to share concrete solutions. Traveling to ten countries – from the urban farms of Detroit to an English town that mints its own David Bowie currency to encourage local spending, from a completely sustainable village in southern India to the progressive schools of Finland – Laurent and her colleagues introduce viewers to people making a difference in the fields of food, energy, finance, democracy and education. Tomorrow will be screened at Upstate Films Rhinebeck this Sunday, April 23 at 10 a.m., followed by a panel discussion anchored by the YMCA Food Justice Project and the Coalition against the Pilgrim Pipeline among others. Admission is free, with a $10 suggested donation that will benefit an environmental group working in the Hudson Valley. For more info, visit http://bit.ly/2pe6pg7.

Ars longa, vita brevis Learn about Frederic Church’s painstaking painting process at Olana lecture this Saturday
H
udson Valley School of Art master Frederic Church is said to have taken more than a year to paint each of his huge landscapes – and that’s after he was done making sketches and studies, often in remote places that took a very long time to reach in the 19th century. A lecture exploring “Frederic Church’s Artistic Process” will be presented at Olana this Saturday afternoon by Caroline O’Connell of the Drawings, Prints & Graphic Design Department at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. At this illustrated talk, participants will learn about very rarely seen sketches and studies from archival storage at the Cooper Hewitt. O’Connell has selected works that provide an intimate journey into Church’s personal communion with nature and his moments as an artist struggling to get it right. The talk shares Church’s use of different media in his preliminary works, including graphite and gouache, as well as his near-obsessive revisiting of minute details of the landscape. This event is meant to set the stage for the upcoming installation “Overlook: Teresita Fernández Confronts Frederic Church at Olana,” scheduled to open on May 14. “Frederic Church’s Artistic Process” will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 22 in the Wagon House Education Center at Olana. It will be followed by a question-andanswer session, an abridged tour of the main house and refreshments. Admission costs $15 for Olana members, $20 for non-members. Advance registration is encouraged at www.olana.org/education or (518) 828-1872. The Olana State
Historic Site is located at 5720 Route 9G in Hudson. – Frances Marion Platt
“Off the Walls: From Junk to Art” opens this Saturday at GCCA Catskill Gallery “Off the Walls: From Junk to Art” is the Greene County Council of the Arts’ (GCCA) upcoming group exhibition – one that promises art-lovers a new way to look at materials that would normally get tossed into the rubbish heap. Featuring two- and three-dimensional works by 27 artists, the show will be presented inside the GCCA Catskill Gallery and at other public spaces along Main Street in Catskill, including the Park for Paws dog park, MainSpace, Magpie Bookshop, HiLo Catskill, the Historic Catskill Point and Dutchman’s Landing. All pieces have been made of recycled and repurposed materials, thus: junk. This will make you think twice about tossing that once-loved-butnow-useless item lurking in your garage. Get out your glue gun and make something else out of it. Of course, how the finished product turns out depends on the creative eye of the maker, which is where guest curator, Willie Cole, steps in to talk about conceptualization and process. An internationally renowned sculptor who works exclusively with recycled materials, Cole has extensive experience with large
installations. His job was to choose which pieces were included in the exhibit. He says, “If it triggered a gut response at first glance, then [the piece] had a good chance. If it was original beyond cliché, and conceptual as well as contextual, then inclusion was guaranteed.” “Off the Walls: From Junk to Art” opens on April 22 with works that surprise and startle, proving that inventiveness might be the mother of curiosity, or vice versa. Viewers will be challenged by the works displayed around town, such as Edwin Falk’s 1,200-pound sculpture Phil Harmonic, made of truck bearings, old truck-hood pieces, grain-planters, an upright piano’s string assembly, manurespreader, snowblower chute, tractor gas tank and other types of rusted, natural oxidized iron. Daniel Lanzilotta’s T-FREQUENCY is made of plastic buckets, umbrella parts, plastic bottles and broom bristles, among other materials. Jennifer Zackin’s Safe Guard is comprised of an assortment of plastic game pieces on a salvaged streetlight-cover, while Portia Munson’s Lawn is made up of thousands of recycled green plastic objects. Other works are comprised of only one material, but used in a repetitious manner, like Ruby Silvious’ Painted Pistachio Shells; Barbara Lubliner’s Wall Rug, made of plastic drycleaner bags; Harlan Mack’s Jasmine, made of upcycled bicycle parts; Linda Stillman’s Buongiorno, made of coffee filters; and Amy Silberkleit’s Waterfall, made of used cloth scraps and thread. Some artists work with natural materials like found wood, including Alison Slon, Guy Mera, Fay Wood, Eric Banks, John Cooley and Harry Matthews.
Others transform ordinary, everyday objects into something profound, including Erika M. Klein’s Uneasy Dreams, which is painted on old book pages; Carole Kunstadt’s Interlude No. 9, made of linen thread and a music manuscript; Franc Palaia’s When Will We Learn, made of a painted metal car hood; George Spencer’s Klu Kluk Klan series, made with cereal boxes; and Jerry Gant’s Musical Melanin installation, made of vinyl records. Add to this list the whimsical in Howard Jones’ brush series, Shelley Davis’ assemblages, Glenn Bauer’s Pococabra and Anthony Murray’s sculpture yes, Yes, YES! along with Hope Konecny’s Hope Totem and Stepan Kubicek’s not-sowhimsical Ashes to Rust series, a largescale sculpture installation designed to build awareness of genocide and the Holocaust through art. Rounding out the exhibition, the Black Album Installation by international sculptor Vahap Avsar will be shown at MainSpace in Catskill. The wall piece, made of tar paintings affixed to 16 doors, will be shown at Avsar’s studio at 404/406 Main Street now until April 27. On Saturday, April 22, GCCA presents a live interview with Cole at HiLo Catskill. Moderated by Robert Tomlinson (and recorded for broadcast on Tomlinson’s monthly radio show Purple House on community radio station WGXC 90.7 FM). After the interview, attendees are invited to an opening reception at GCCA’s gallery at 398 Main Street and MainSpace at 404/406 Main Street in Catskill.

n addition to its ongoing exhibitions, there’s always something cool going on at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on the SUNY-New Paltz campus. Special events are typically tied in thematically with one of the current shows, but they are always interesting on their own. This Friday, April 21 from 6 to 8 p.m., the Dorsky continues its appreciation of Hudson Valley-based artists with Seegers, a multimedia project produced by One Quiet Plunge, inspired by the lives and work of folk musician/activist Pete Seeger and his stepmother, Modernist composer/arranger Ruth Crawford Seeger. The program juxtaposes different streams in the Seegers’ work, combining live music performance with video projection, poetry and electronic sound. New works by Hudson Valley composers Gabriel Lubell, Nathan Hall and Bob Lukomski respond to the Seegers’ own music; newly created video projects by Gabriel Chalfin-Piney, Annelli Goeller and John Owens and excerpts from Joseph Bertolozzi’s Bridge Music recreate the Hudson Valley milieu that inspired and influenced the Seegers’ work throughout their lives. Tickets are available at the door for a suggested donation of $10. Next weekend brings the opening reception for Exhibition I of the works of Class of ’17 BFA Thesis candidates at SUNY-New Paltz, happening Friday, April 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, April 30 is Family Day: Register at www.newpaltz. edu/dorskymuseum/visit/familydays if your family would like to participate in exhibition-inspired hands-on activities. Inspired by the current “Text/ures of Iraq� exhibition, Amera Abdalrahim will offer a lecture on Saturday, April 29 at 2 p.m. on “Introduction to Islamic Decoration,� followed by a hands-on workshop. There is a $5 materials fee for the workshop, and participants must preregister at museumrsvp@newpaltz.edu. Elsewhere on campus that same evening, at 7 p.m. in the Old Main Building’s Studley Theatre, the Alwan Arab Music Ensemble will perform a live concert of folk, popular and art music of the Arab world.

Visitors will receive a rare treat in viewing these stunning and vibrant works.� De Mura is widely considered the last great painter of the Baroque and Rococo periods, but has often been overlooked.

produce and eggs in inspired entrées that transcend the plain surroundings, even as they pay homage to the diner tradition of simple comfort food. Located deep in the Catskills, on Route 28 shortly before the turnoff to Phoenicia, the Phoenicia Diner is famous for its allday breakfast – which becomes brunch, if you add a mimosa, Bloody Mary or bourbon milkshake. (Along with the soupof-the-day and the daily specials, a special cocktail – a Shokan Sunrise, consisting of infused vodka, OJ and vanilla ice cream – was also featured on the blackboard when I visited last week.)

that wasn’t very good,” he said. “I always gravitated towards the traditional, such as the turkey club or burger. We tried to distill that down and make it more contemporary for how people are eating today.” Cioffi had no restaurant experience when he and his wife, Helene Banks, bought the diner in 2012.

have a weekend house in Margaretville. After he sold his business constructing scenery for TV and Broadway shows in 2010, Cioffi was searching for a new career. “I’ve been passing that diner for 20 years,” he said. “I talked about having a restaurant, and my kids and wife were all excited about me finding something new. The diner happened to be available, so the timing was perfect. We bought it and did a renovation to restore and update it. It’s got great bones, which we wanted to honor.” The diner was built in 1962 by the DeRaffele Manufacturing Co., which was based in New Rochelle. It originally was located on Long Island before being moved to its current site in 1982. “A lot of people coming through here recognize it from years before, when it was on Long Island,” Cioffi said. True to form, the diner has large plate-glass windows along the front and side, which provide views of the surrounding woods and mountains. The Formica bar, which runs along the back, faces a backsplash of orange, white and
late in life, I have tremendous respect for people who work in commercial kitchens. The work ethic is amazing. Meanwhile, people in the front of the house have to be in a great mood all the time, no matter what’s going on in your private life. Your public life is on a stage.” There has been no turnover. Many employees grew up in the area, he added. “We don’t just try to buy locally, but we employ locally as well.” Given the diner’s rural location, miles from the nearest population centers of Woodstock and Kingston, Cioffi was initially surprised at its popularity. The clientele includes people who grew up in

on a house-made waffle and many other entrées. There are also several vegetarian entrées and a selection of four healthful salads, including baby kale with marinated beets and almonds, and quinoa served with romaine, tomato, cucumber, chickpeas and feta cheese with a red wine vinaigrette. But it’s the breakfast items, which can be ordered all day, that are the most popular: buckwheat or buttermilk pancakes with local maple syrup, French toast, ’shrooms and caramelized onion gravy served with herbed ricotta and an egg on bread with greens, omelets, Benedicts (choice of spinach, Canadian bacon, locally smoked salmon or crabcakes) and the “full breakfast” – the kind of spread you get at B&Bs in Ireland that fill you up for the whole day: two eggs, sausage, bacon, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, potatoes and toast. “The thought process for me was that the entry point would be coffee and breakfast,” said Cioffi. “We’re not studying French cooking.” That emphasis has bred in him a respect for the simple egg, because of “the amount of ways you can have that egg and the care you need to take to cook it, from sunny-side-up to over hard and everything in between. Even a poached egg, if it cooks a few seconds too long, is no longer correctly poached. Eggs are hard.” Very local sourcing of items like eggs is sometimes difficult, given the volumes. “We have to go further afield to get them,” he noted. “The flip side is, someone shows up with a crate of butternut squash, and it’s too much; we can’t make that much butternut squash soup. We do our best on the protein side to go local and try to stay seasonal on the vegetable side,” with seasonal adjustments made to the menu. The Phoenicia Diner hires 25 people on a weekly basis, with slightly more in summer. “It’s a lot of hours for everybody,” said Cioffi. “Having come to the restaurant business

A Coke machine and traditional green menu boards above the steel border (listing the kids’ menu, along with beverages and desserts, including “homemade pies & cakes $4 and $5/a la mode $1.50”) lend a retro touch, while the board-sided ceiling adds rustic warmth. The soundtrack when I visited featured KC and the Sunshine Band, the Bee Gees’ “Saturday Night Fever” and other cheerful pop standards, at a volume low enough not to interfere with the conversation. The chef, Chris Bradley, is no shortorder cook. He worked for the prestigious Union Square Hospitality Group in New York City before moving to Kingston. Bradley and his wife wanted to leave the City to raise a family and happened to cross paths with Cioffi. “Chris had been to the diner, and joked with his wife what a great place it would be to own or work in,” Cioffi recalled. Cioffi had just purchased the former Gypsy Wolf restaurant in Woodstock and was looking to expand. (The new restaurant will serve dinner, unlike the diner, and will open by the end of this year.) “Flash-forward a couple of months later: We put out the ad and he responded to it.” Bradley, who started work at the Phoenicia Diner a year ago and is a partowner in Cioffi’s expanding restaurant group, hails from the South, and so his adjustments to the menu included adding grits, as well as biscuits and gravy. “My view is: The more comfort food you can find on that menu, the better,” said Cioffi. Hence there is meatloaf (made from locally raised beef and pork), pan-fried trout (after all, this is the Catskills), corned beef (house-cured and from grass-fed brisket), turkey club, Reuben and classic BLT sandwiches, fried chicken served

the area, second-home owners and day trippers from the City. While the Phoenicia Diner does not serve dinner, occasionally it hosts private events, such as a rehearsal dinner. This summer Cioffi is adding a food truck, housed in a 1962 Airstream. (“Everything’s built in the same year. I was born in 1962.”) The food truck will open around July 1, and will enable people to get a snack while they’re waiting for a table or order a light breakfast, seated at the picnic table outside. “We built the place with the idea it would be a local place to go have breakfast and lunch, and it’s evolved into a weekend place where people gather and enjoy the Catskills,” he said. The black-and-cream menu supports that initiative: Printed on the paper placemat and designed by Gabriella Wilson, it’s adorned with charming images along the perimeter, each accompanying a nearby attraction, such as a horse silhouette for the Rosemary Farm Horse Sanctuary, tragic/comic masks for a local theater, binoculars for the Ulster County visitors’ guide and a tiny train for the Empire State Railway Museum. The website is listed for each attraction. “These are not advertisements. We print those menus ourselves as a guide for people to go out and hike and fish and enjoy the Catskills,” Cioffi said. Wilson also designed the logo, consisting of a station wagon with various outdoor equipment tied to the roof and a background of evergreens and mountains. “People seem to gravitate towards the logo, to the point where last summer someone came in and showed us the logo tattooed on their forearm. I was horrified – and complimented.” – Lynn Woods Phoenicia Diner, Thursday-Monday, breakfast 7 a.m.-5 p.m., lunch 11 a.m.-5 p.m., 5681 Route 28, Phoenicia; (845) 688-9957, info@phoeniciadiner.com, www.phoeniciadiner.com.

Stephen Tobolowsky, Robert Thurman headline Woodstock Book Fest 2017 Every winter for the past seven years, I’ve sat down with Martha Frankel to find out what she has got planned for the upcoming literary festival held each spring in Woodstock. And every time I do, I wonder how the heck she manages to enroll more sponsors, en-
list another team of eager volunteers, hire brilliant teachers and – oh, yeah: line up the most intelligent, exciting and funny group of contemporary authors around to show up and inspire us all for three days. The Woodstock Book Fest will come to town on April 27 through the 30th. Now in its eighth iteration, the event has been rebranded from a writers’ gathering to a readers’ event to attract anyone who appreciates great books. As always, a Thursday-evening story slam brings out the local storytellers for raucous fun and poignant tales. Featuring real stories told by regular folks, this kickoff event is always sold out, so plan ahead. On Friday, a handful of astute writer/ teachers offer daylong workshops that focus on getting words and sentences on paper, and editing and publishing them. “If you’re a writer,â€? says Frankel, “these intensives can be life-changing. If you’re working on something, you can figure out what the next step is. A lot of my students don’t get that editing is the prize, for example. It’s one thing to write a first draft; it’s another to finish it.â€? Seven workshops are being led by Bar Scott, Bev Donofrio, Gail Straub, Kim Wozencraft, Lynn Johnston, Abigail Thomas and Kitty Sheehan. (Two are already sold out; again, check out the lineup and register early!) Friday evening’s keynote speaker at the Bearsville Theater is everyone’s favorite character actor whose name they don’t yet recognize: the quick and clever Stephen Tobolowsky. His newly released memoir, My Adventures with God, is a must-read no matter what your spiritual predilection is. This is Tobolowsky’s second gig at the festival, and he does not disappoint. On Saturday, panels on spirituality, fiction, music and addiction/recovery are led by notables in each field, including Joan Borysenko, Stephen Cope, Emily Barton, Stephanie Gangi, Tim Murphy, Francine Prose, Tony Fletcher, Jonathan Gould, Joan Juliet Buck, Cat Marnell and Lisa Smith, with moderators Gale Straub, Kim Wozencraft, Jimmy Buff and Jamie Brickhouse. That evening, WAMC’s Joe Donahue takes the stage at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts to conduct another insightful interview – this year with Robert Thurman, the Jey Tsong Khapa professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion at Columbia University, president of the Tibet House US and president of the American Institute of Buddhist Studies (a/k/a the founder of Menla Mountain Retreat and Uma’s father). Donahue’s relaxed-but-penetrating style brings out the best in his interviewees. Don’t miss this one. The annual Breakfast with Abigail Thomas and Bar Scott at Joshua’s starts Sunday off with good eats and music, and is followed by two more panels: Biography and Memoir-Ă -Go-Go, including Leslie Bennetts, Marc Eliot, Stephane Gerson, Dani Shapiro and Elizabeth Lesser, with James Grissom and Frankel moderating the talks. I asked Frankel, who is co-founder and executive director of the “whole shebang,â€? as it’s fondly called, if there is anything new she wanted to talk about. (She always wants to talk about books and writers; catch her radio show on WDST early Sunday mornings for some great chats.) “I feel like, after eight years, I’m so relaxed!â€? she says. “I’m not freaking out at all. We know what we’re doing, how to get a lot of people moved around and everything. When Stephen Tobolowsky was here two years ago, I don’t think we understood what he was going to do then. I asked him if he wanted anyone onstage with him, and he said, ‘No.’ Then he got up and did a one-man show for 50 minutes that was amazing! I’m really excited about him coming back. “It’s so cool to have Robert Thurman for the Joe Donahue interview. He’s doing a graphic biography of the Dalai

MILLBROOK’S CARY INSTITUTE HOST NATIONAL PARKS TALK BY TERRY TEMPEST WILLIAMS
E
arth Day returns this weekend, at a crux point in the planet’s history when political power has shifted more firmly than ever into the hands of those who would sooner exploit its resources than preserve them. More bad environmental news seems to be coming out every day, drowned out by other alarming headlines. For instance, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies has just released the results of the first large-scale analysis of chloride trends in 371 freshwater lakes. It was conducted by a team of 15 researchers as part of the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) Fellowship Program (co-chaired by the Institute’s own Kathleen Weathers). Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study reports that North America’s freshwater lakes are getting significantly saltier due to development and exposure to road salt, especially in the Upper Midwest and Northeast. This does not bode well for aquatic life. Need a dose of Earth Day inspiration to keep on doing your part to take care of our home planet? The Cary Institute is a fine place to turn for good news as well. This Saturday, April 22 at 7 p.m., the research center’s auditorium will welcome one of the shiniest names in the modern field of nature writing: Terry Tempest Williams. Like the Hudson Valley’s own John Burroughs, she’s known for her rare combination of scientific chops and exquisite literary expression. The women’s movement claims her as a heroine as well, for her work exposing the connection between exposure to radiation from nuclear testing and high incidences of breast cancer in her native Utah. Among her accolades are the Wilderness Society’s Robert Marshall Award, the Western American Literature Association’s Distinguished Achievement Award, the Wallace Stegner Award and the David R. Brower Conservation Award. Tempest Williams’ lecture will focus on the subject matter of her latest book, The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America’s National Parks. Inspired by the National Park Service’s centennial celebration, The Hour of Land is a collection of essays that delve into the history of America’s parks, with a focus on how they have been shaped by politics, activism and environmental change. Admission to the talk is free, and seating is first-come, first-served. The Cary Institute auditorium is located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44) in Millbrook.

Lama, and what a thrill to have him! It’s a great book that gets into some deeper stuff. There’s a lot on people’s minds these days. In fact, we changed the tagline of the festival to ‘Ignite the Conversation.’” The word is out. Avid readers can cozy up to their favorite authors at two terrific cocktail parties held on Friday and Saturday nights. This year the parties take place within walking distance of the evening events in town: one at the Commune Saloon and the other at Oriole 9. Literary professionals want to be at the festival to talk shop and hang out with book-lovers. Many who have appeared on panels before are coming back as moderators. “They know when to shut up and when to not shut up,” says Frankel. “I always wanted it to be this: a booklovers’ festival,” she adds. At the end of our conversation, I want to sign up for everything. And it’s clear now why this thing is a success: Frankel’s enthusiasm is contagious. That’s how she does it.

Y
ou might mistake Keith Duarte for the stereotypical sort of Millennial city-boyturned-upstate-farmer you could associate with his newly planted Damn Good Honey Farm in the Town of Wawarsing. There’s a bit of the romantic about him. He’s young, and he has got a young family. He’s the first to admit that he’s new to the farming life. He and his wife Jennifer have staked their lives and their livelihoods on a modest couple of acres that they lease on grounds just off Route 209. But the Brooklyn hipster similarities stop there. Keith Duarte is a local guy. He grew up just outside of Liberty, went to high school there. Jennifer grew up in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Keith still works full-time locally, as a certified athletic trainer at a number of local high schools. He’s the guy you see running out on the

two years, when Damn Good Honey Farm took root – first in the backyard of their Kerhonkson home and, more recently, on a former dairy farm that harbors the Vernooy/Bevier House, a 17th-century stone home just off Route 209 near the Kerhonkson border. “We take on a little bit more every year,” he said last week. His athletic trainer post is full-time; but if it makes a difficult job more difficult, it also supports his family while all farm-related income they’re able to generate goes right back into realizing their dream. The Duartes settled in Ulster County, rather than Sullivan, because they’re looking to the future for their fouryear-old son Hunter: The couple were impressed with the Rondout Valley School District’s emphasis on the progressive nature of agriculture in the region. The result of that emphasis – a greenhouse garden, an agricultural science lab, courses that could lead to careers in the restaurant business – made the county and the district seem an ideal fit for the family’s ambitions. Their farming life started in their halfacre backyard in Kerhonkson. “What can you do on a half-acre? Well, you can get into beekeeping.” Duarte has warm childhood memories of his grandfather “working the bees,” with the result of

having fresh honey. So, they taught themselves beekeeping. The Duartes have been able to build on their honeybee foundation, providing honey and beeswax soap for sale, as well as seminars on different levels of beekeeping expertise. (All the summer’s classes have been fully booked.) They are also hoping to increase the number of people caring for bees. To that end, they will start a hive for you on their farm, install it on your property and provide ongoing support. The Duartes’ immersion in apiculture has served as an apt symbol of what the entire farm-to-table, whole-foods effort is up against, and why it’s important. “The goal is looking at the trouble honeybees are in – they’re a perfect indicator of the overall health problems with our agricultural system,” he said. “We feel that, if we can have more people that have one or two hives in their backyard, that’s a much better situation than having 10,000 hives.” Duarte has no doubt that the crisis represented by colony collapse is the result of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. “You really can’t isolate the problem, unless you live on an island or in the middle of nowhere.” There’s evidence that the colonycollapse phenomenon is improving, he said, but not in the United States: “It’s gotten better in Europe, where they banned the pesticide they believe is really responsible; but it’s gotten worse here, where the chemical companies have too much of a stranglehold on our agricultural system and our politics,” he said.

NIGHT SKY
By Jove It’s a great week to look up into the heavens
T
his week, the Moon rises an hour later each night, leaving the first part of each night black and ideal for stargazing. The first thing you see is the very brightest “star” in all the heavens: the planet Jupiter. It came to opposition earlier this month, so it’s at its very brightest of the entire year. Let’s be honest: You don’t want to fiddle with charts, and you’d like your astronomy fun and easy. Well, here it is. Just find the brightest star anytime between nightfall and midnight. If you have a small telescope, point it there. It was Jupiter, shining brilliantly in Taurus the Bull, that proved the most amazing and controversial target on January 7, 1610, when Galileo Galilei saw three stars lined up alongside the dazzling planet. By the 13th he had watched them change position each night, spotted a fourth as well, and realized they were orbiting around that world. This, 407 years ago, was no small event. At the time, Church doctrine followed the writings of Aristotle and Ptolemy and insisted that Earth is the center of all motion. For some bizarre reason, they’d made it into a religious principle. So Galileo enjoyed no benefits after he published his startling discovery that proved that Earth is not the center of all motion. Instead, those little moons whirling around Jupiter caused Galileo to be brought up on charges, forced him to recant at penalty of being burned at the stake and left him to die penniless. But fast-forward to our modern times, and now those four giant moons visible through the smallest cheap telescope are called “the Galilean satellites.” So it all worked out for the bearded, cantankerous Italian polymath – or at least for his disembodied spirit. There’s a bonus! Directly below Jupiter floats a distinctly blue star. In fact, it’s the bluest bright star in our sky. This is Virgo’s “Alpha” star, Spica (say “SPY-ka”). Located a whopping 260 light-years away, it’s the 14th-brightest star in our sky. Together with orange Arcturus, far to Jupiter’s left, it’s a traditional sign of spring. And just as spring colors are returning to nature on the ground around us, it’s fun to compare Jupiter’s yellow/whiteness with the pumpkin hue of Arcturus and the sapphireblueness of Spica. – Bob Berman

GARDENER'S NOTEBOOK
Stemming the tide Figs and witch hazel need pruning in spring
more comely proportions for the site, by pruning. Like other shrubs, witch hazels can be pruned by a renewal method: cutting to the ground the oldest stems and thinning out the number of youngest stems. The pruned plant, then, always has a spectrum of various-aged stems, none of them too old or too overcrowded. What makes an “old” stem for a shrub depends on its growth habit. For raspberries, two-year-old stems are “old” – so old that they die. And they make lots of young stems that need ruthless thinningout. Witch hazels are at the other extreme. Very old stems keep sporting flowers, and the shrubs typically send up very few young stems. So witch hazels need very little pruning. At first, I was going to renew Arnold’s
Promise over the course of a few years, removing some of the oldest stems each year and hoping for younger replacements. That would let the shrub put on a nice show each year. But once I get started pruning, restraint is difficult. I was tempted to cut every stem, young and old, to the ground and then decide, as growth began, which young stems to save to build the shrub up again. I mostly did that, but saved a couple of small stems for a few blossoms this autumn or late next winter. Especially this time of year, no matter what you do, you’re unlikely to kill a shrub by pruning. And, since they’re always growing new stems from ground-level, even mistakes can be eventually corrected. (More about all this in my book, The Pruning Book).

So, for now, it’s one step at a time for the Duartes. In keeping with the way they’ve already built their business, he expects to launch a farmstand market down the road this summer, where other local growers market their goods as well as his. It’s all about making “whole foods” – or what Duarte calls “homegrown healthcare” – available to the region. – Jeremiah Horrigan

O
ver the years, my Arnold’s Promise variety of witch hazel has earned its keep with branches showered in fragrant golden flowers late each winter. Some years, like last year, part of the bush would blossom in autumn, then put on a repeat performance in late winter. (Branches that blossom in autumn don’t blossom again in later winter, but other branches, which hold off in autumn, do.) I should have read the fine print more carefully before I selected this variety of witch hazel. My plan was for the plant to smooth the transition visually from the corner of the house to an upright stewartia tree to a moderate-sized shrub (Arnold’s Promise) to some subshrubs (lowbush blueberry) to ground-level – except that Arnold’s Promise has grown to 15 feet high. Which it’s supposed to do, according to the fine print, which I didn’t read. My job, now, is to bring the shrub to

Of course, I could kill Arnold’s Promise and plant a smaller variety of witch hazel, such as Little Suzie or Pallida. The latter’s flowers are reputedly especially fragrant. Then again, it reputedly grows to ten feet high: not that much smaller than Arnold’s Promise. Little Suzie, though, is billed at reaching only five or six feet tall. For now, I’ll try pruning to cut Arnold’s Promise down to size. I can’t leave pruning yet. Figs: These plants have a most interesting and unique flowering and fruiting habit. Some varieties bear on one-year-old stems, some on new stems and some on both. I was pleasantly reminded of all this as I stepped into the greenhouse and looked Since

up at the couple of full-length stems that I had left after last autumnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pruning of San Piero fig. San Piero is one of those varieties that bears on both one-yearold and new stems. New figs, the size of a quarter, were already getting plump way up at the tippy-top of the full-length stems. If all goes well, these figs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; called the breba crop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will ripen in midsummer. To reap that breba crop, one-yearold stems must survive winter weather, which they do in my cool-temperature greenhouse, as well as where winter temperatures hardly dip below freezing. Where winters are cold, breba figs can be harvested from plants grown in pots and moved to a cool-but-not-frigid location for winter, such as a barely heated garage or a mudroom (no light necessary). Or, in late autumn, stems can be bent to the ground and covered with plastic, to shed excess moisture, and then leaves, straw, or some other insulating material; or, in even-colder climates, bent down into a covered trench. (Fig trees are very flexible, literally and figuratively.) My non-breba-forming figs, and all except those few long stems that I left on San Piero, get drastic pruning. Everything, except for those one-year-old stems to save, gets pruned down to about three feet high. This pruning stimulates lots of vigorous new shoots that bear the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mainâ&#x20AC;? crop, in late summer and on into autumn. Unlike apples, peaches and other familiar fruits, main-crop figs keep ripening over a long period, as long as the new shoots have enough light and warmth to keep growing. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

E
arth Day means getting down to hands-on effort and boots on the ground at the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary. Early risers can join the John Burroughs Natural History Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Bridges for a guided nature walk at 8 a.m. to discover springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspirations from nature, from skunk cabbage to spotted salamanders. Waterfalls along the John Burroughs Black Creek Trail are reportedly roaring after recent rains. Preregister for the walk by e-mailing jtpontes@aol.com. Then, at 9 a.m., a busy day of trail cleanup and maintenance gets underway, readying the preserve for the 2017 visitor season. Volunteers will meet at the Slabsides entrance on Burroughs Drive and stay as long as each is able. Besides clearing the trails of what winter left, several new projects are planned: installing a deluxe bluebird box in the Pond area, raising up the new cedar Burroughs Bench and getting out in front of invasive species. Those who can stay into the afternoon should pack a lunch. Bring water and work gloves; clippers and a metal rake would also help. For those who would like to help in front of Slabsides, bring tall waterproof boots. If you are on the tree crew, bring your chainsaw and safety equipment. Trail treats will be provided. The John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary is located at 261 Floyd Ackert Road in West Park.

with the cycles of the seasons? The new series of foraging, plant identification and cooking workshops being offered by the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development might be right up your alley. Presented by chef Rob Handel of Heather Ridge Farm and the Bee’s Knees Café in Preston Hollow, the recently debuted series makes its second appearance on Thursday evening, April 20 with “Rethinking Wild Edibles.” In this presentation, Handel will share unique ways to utilize wild edibles of the Catskills. Many of the common weeds found in our gardens, pastures, and roadsides can add rich and vibrant flavors to everyday meals. Learn how techniques like fermentation, infusions, pickling and more can unlock these flavors and turn “weeds” from drab to fab.

f you’re a gardener, you’ve undoubtedly found that some seed packets come with an overgenerous supply of whatever it is that you wanted to plant. It seems a shame to throw the extras away, even knowing that the germination rate will plummet with each year that you keep them in storage. And if you’ve been gardening successfully and collecting seeds from last year’s crop, it’s even more of a heartbreak to toss the ones that exceed this year’s need. That goes double for heirlooms and other hard-to-find varieties. If you haven’t already organized a network of green-thumbed friends to share your bounty, you might want to check out the Seed Swap happening this Saturday at the Tivoli Free Library. Seal and clearly label your packets from last year, or containers of seed that you’ve harvested. Then come swap your flower, vegetable and herb seeds for types that you don’t already have. There’s no cost; just bring a pack, take a pack (seeds only, please – not seedlings!) Among the pickings will be donated seed from Mac’s Farm & Garden World in Red Hook, New Paltz Agway, Adam’s Fairacre Farms in Kingston and the Accord-based Hudson Valley Seed Company. The Seed Swap runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 22. The Tivoli Free Library is located at 86 Broadway in Tivoli.
Community Room, which is wheelchairaccessible. Seating is available on a firstcome, first-served basis. A question-andanswer period will follow, accompanied by light refreshments.
