ODE TO

JOY Beethoven's Ninth this Saturday in Kingston

T

here are scholars who contend that late-18th-century German poet Friedrich Schiller’s original version of “Ode to Joy” was titled “Ode to Freedom,” but that he subsequently toned down its potential political implications. The rebellious spirit of the work was reinforced in Ludwig von Beethoven’s 1824 musical setting in his Symphony no. 9 in D minor, op. 125, and people around the world have since embraced it as an expression of defiance, solidarity and survival as well as pure exultation. It was sung to political prisoners by protestors against the Pinochet regime in Chile, by Chinese students demonstrating in Tiananmen Square, in Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Wall and in Japan following the 2011 tsunami. If your spirits need a lift in these troubled times, a hearty dose of Beethoven’s Ninth might be just the right tonic. For the first time in a decade, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic

has dusted off the beloved work and will be performing it at 8 p.m. this Saturday, April 29 at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, accompanying the singers of Cappella Festiva, the Vassar Choir (directed by Christine Howlett) and soloists Rachael Rosales, Joshua Blue, Philip Cutlip and Helen Karrloski. Randall Craig Fleischer conducts, and will give a preconcert talk for ticketholders at 7 p.m. Haydn’s Symphony 100 in G major opens the program. Tickets for this concert, closing out the Philharmonic’s 2016/17 season, range in price from $34 to $57. Student Rush tickets will be available one hour prior to the concert for $20. Tickets can be purchased 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 via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

that group is more accurately known as the Esopus. The band who lived in New Paltz at the time of Huguenot settlement were the Munsee. The Town of Minisink in Orange County, where they once maintained a stronghold, derives its name from that tribal group – as does Muncie, Indiana: one of the places where displaced native people settled for a time as they were driven ever farther west. Nowadays, the tribe’s descendants, who in their diaspora teamed up with Mohicans from the upper Hudson Valley, Connecticut and Massachusetts to form a coalition called the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation, maintain communities in Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Ontario. They’ll be represented by the StockbridgeMunsee tribal historic preservation officer Bonney Hartley this Saturday evening as Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) holds its inaugural Spring Celebration, commemorating the 340th anniversary of the signing of the 1677 land agreement between the Esopus Munsee and the Huguenot refugees who settled the New Paltz Patent. As part of its campaign to spotlight the indigenous residents of New Paltz, HHS will display the original 1677 manuscript carrying the marks of the five Esopus signers and their 23 sachem witnesses, along with the signatures of the 12 Huguenot patentees and their 16 witnesses, as well as Sir Edmund Andros, governor of New York at the time. The accompanying exhibition will showcase Esopus Munsee artifacts, many of them found during archaeological studies on Huguenot Street conducted under the guidance of Dr. Joseph Diamond of SUNY-New Paltz. The event, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. on April 29, will also introduce two brand-new components of HHS: its newly hired executive director, Marybeth De Filippis, and a wigwam constructed using traditional Munsee design technology and local materials on the lawn of the DuBois Fort Visitor Center by Barry Keegan, an expert in native Munsee crafts. Keegan’s replicas of Munsee-styled bows, arrows, axes, dugout canoes, firemaking tools and pottery will be on display as well. The Spring Celebration is a fundraising event that will feature hors d’oeuvres catered by Main Course, as well as wine and other beverages. Admission to the

reception costs $50; to preregister, visit www.huguenotstreet.org / springcelebration or call (845) 255-1660.

Vegan brunch to help Saugerties Animal Shelter on Saturday The non-profit organization Hudson Valley Vegans, dedicated to introducing and providing information on a plant-based diet and compassionate lifestyle, will host a Vegan Brunch on Saturday, April 29 at the Saugerties Reformed Church. All brunch proceeds will be donated to the Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter, which also serves the communities of Woodstock and Ulster. Brunch will be served from noon to 2:30 p.m., featuring such items as Brunch Burritos, High Noon Nachos, smoothies, baked goods and more, all priced under $10. “With homemade chorizo, cheese sauces and scrambled ‘eggs,’ we’ll certainly be challenging the misperception that vegan food is all sprouts, lettuce and carrot sticks!� promises Drake Page, chef and co-chair of the event, along with DeAne Vasquez. All are welcome, and the facility at 173 Main Street in Saugerties is fully accessible to those with disabilities. Donations to the shelter of cat and dog food will also be collected at the brunch.

400+ beers from 135+ New York-based breweries. This year, the featured food is Ballpark Hotdogs from across the Nation. More than 30 different mouthwatering frank creations will be on offer, with toppings including the likes of bacon, salsa and pulled pork. Passed hors d’oeuvres, soups, sandwiches, burgers, the extremely popular corndogs and more are also included in the ticket price. Live music goes on all day, while you stroll the grounds, tasting here and there and chatting with the brewmeisters. The festival also awards the annual Brewers’ Cups, including the Governor’s Cup for the Best Craft Beer in New York State, the F. X. Matt Memorial Cup for the Best Craft Brewery in New York State and the Matthew Vassar Brewers’ Cup for the Best Craft Brewery in the Hudson Valley. TAP New York 2017 happens at Hunter Mountain on Saturday (2 to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (12 noon to 4 p.m.), April 29 and 30. A variety of admission options are available, including one- and two-day passes, the Exclusive VIP Experience, the Sunday Night Sip & Stay lodging package and discounted entry for Designated Drivers.

ent its annual Distinguished Achievement Award to John Novi, the chef who is internationally celebrated as one of the founders of New American cuisine, on Sunday, June 11 from 5 to 8 p.m. Locally, the High Falls native is also known as a tireless advocate for the preservation of family farms and Hudson Valley history. While many people know of Novi’s meteoric path to culinary stardom (within just one year of opening, New York Times food critic Craig Claiborne awarded Novi’s Depuy Canal House four stars, the highest accolade), many don’t know that as early as 1966, he was on a mission to protect the D & H Canal and formed the historical society’s first Board of Directors. Recently retired as DePuy Canal House chef, Novi was also instrumental in securing a grant that helped transfer that historic building

to the D & H Canal Society. Special guests Kevin Zraly, founder and instructor of the Windows on the World Wine School, Steven Kolpan, professor and chair of Wine Studies at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park and several others will share memories of how Novi helped launch their careers and inspired a new generation of chefs and local food enthusiasts. To honor Novi’s passion for using local ingredients, Mohonk Mountain House’s Jim Palmeri and Robert LeDuc will prepare a buffet sourced from local farms. Tickets cost $40 and may be purchased online at www.mohonk-consultations. org, or you may mail a check to Mohonk Consultations, 1000 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz NY 12561.

O

ur first order of business here is clerical. It is to be called Colony now, not the Colony Café, as we have long been conditioned to think of it: that stylish, on-again off-again hotel/restaurant/ venue that has been standing there all cool and Euro on Rock City Raoad just past the Green in Woodstock since 1929. New owner Neil Howard, who, in every other respect seems easygoing, open and boyishly enthused about everything, is strict on this point, going so far as to remove the word “café” from the subject line of my e-mail to him. “No one seems

as how ‘I’d do it this way,’ as I now know many people have,” Howard recalls. “Never did I think it would actually come to pass, that we’d be the ones to do it, so it’s a little wild. I just wanted Colony to be the world-class joint it was meant to be: timeless like the Dome in Paris or Tosca in San Francisco. The hope was to make

to register this part no matter how much I say it: IT IS NOT CALLED THE COLONY CAFÉ,” he e-shouts. It is Colony, then, and you won’t have to tell me again. Among musicians and the local press, excitement has been building for almost two years over the restoration of this venerable venue and its reopening in May. New owners Howard and his wife, Alexia, have lived in Woodstock for a decade and are thus intimately familiar with the area’s disproportionate wealth of artistic talent and its incongruous lack of enduring anchor venues. Both are artists: Neil a songwriter, playwright and actor, Lex an actor “with one of those ‘career’ things I’d heard about,” Howard jokes. Woodstock, we should continually remind ourselves, was cool and culturally relevant long before the big concert in

Bethel 60 miles away. With a history that dates back to the days of the actual Woodstock arts colonies – when the Maverick was a hotbed of radical 20thcentury art, music and thought and Byrdcliffe built its rustic campus on the hill – this room has always been one of the vibeyest in the region, a favorite among musicians and performers even as its use has been sporadic and it was hard to get a drink at the bar. Howard

wants to reconnect Colony to that preCounterculture legacy. “[That part of ] Woodstock has been a little overshadowed and overwhelmed by the late-‘60s nostalgia, and I’m hoping Colony can cut through that a bit – be the place that predates that stuff, as the building does.” The Howards have been realistic about the challenge. Woodstock, for all its world-class talent hiding out in every other cottage, does not exactly enjoy a hopping nightlife. Its facilities have been unstable, its crowds largely unmobilized. In a savvy and forward-looking strategy, Howard put on a series of secret house concerts over the last year, to begin to develop an audience and to introduce that audience to the level of care that they are bringing both to the physical space itself and to the curation of talent. These shows were wildly successful, featuring a variety of the region’s most compelling resident pros, including Chris Maxwell, the Duke McVinnie Band, legendary alt/ folkie Michael Hurley and many others. Meanwhile, the Colony has been undergoing a loving and conscious restoration, directed by the Howards and executed by John Hornbeck and Neal Mathews of JH Construction (and by Nick Brown, the bar-builder). “Every time I went to the Colony to see music or comedy, I always pictured the ballroom

the place feel old and eternal and like it’s always been there, unchanged but wellloved since 1929.” The restoration includes a completely new kitchen, wheelchair access ramp and new ground-floor bathrooms, completely renovated upstairs bathroom suites and state-of-the-art sound and light systems. “I hope everyone will be surprised and delighted at the many personal touches we’ve added to Colony, from the custombuilt bar and stage to the fully equipped kitchen and beautifully tiled restrooms,” adds Alexia. “Neil and I truly feel this space can only thrive on community, not committee, which is why we didn’t take any investors. Colony will always be a business owned by locals, run by locals for the local community.” The Howards are quick to deflect attention to their dream team of collaborators: general manager and “all-round life-saver” Jean Michel; wellconnected production manager Jim Friskel; talent buyer Kali Quinn, who has had all ten fingers involved in local booking since her days as the not-yet-legal founder of Route 32 Productions, a wildly successful live-music event promoter in New Paltz at the turn of the decade; mix engineer Manny Yupa, whose other gigs include BSP, the Mercury Lounge and numerous other prestigious New York City venues; lighting rig designer Dani MacCallum; audio consultant Pete Caigan from Flymax Studio; and, most recently on the kitchen front, Peter Cantine, late of the Bear Café in Bearsville. What kind of music booking can we expect? If Howard, whose own excellent songs and records tend toward a stylish and modernized noir, had his pure druthers, the vibe would be pre-rock, equal parts elegance and grit, with smoke imported from a Cole Porter past. “I’ve often said I want us to be the Casablanca of Woodstock – even though my inner movie geek wants to say Rick’s Café Americain, of course. That said, it won’t be all 1940s music all the time, no matter how much I’d like that. We will have a piano; we will probably sing the ‘Marseillaise’ once in a while; but I promise there will be other cool stuff.” By design, the venue is hardly for music alone. There will be Sunday playreadings, children’s shows on weekends, monthly events like salsa and swing dancing. How about the food? “We are going for a delicious hybrid of American diner and English pub: sliders, chicken tenders, hotdogs, French fries and onion rings, nachos, soups and salads, fish-andchips, bangers-and-mash. Very classic and basic, but very good and rock ‘n’ roll-ready, served in baskets, meant for small tables in a darkened venue – that sort of thing. Falutin’-free.” Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock. It opens in early May and is solidly booked several months down the road.

Malcolm Cecil’s 80th birthday bash

J

azz bassist, producer, composer, electronic music pioneer: Malcolm Cecil has quietly had about as varied and storied a music career as one could quietly have. He won a Grammy for engineering on Stevie Wonder’s greatest record, Innervisions. His innovative duo Tonto’s Expanding Head Band made what is widely considered to be essential early electronic music, and was, in a bizarre turn, recently referenced on TBS’ popular show People of Earth. Cecil was principal bassist with the BBC Radio Orchestra, and was resident bassist at London’s Ronnie Scott Jazz Club, where he performed and recorded albums with Stan Getz, J. J. Johnson, Johnny Griffin and Roland Kirk. He has also collaborated with such artists as Quincy Jones, Bobby Womack, the Isley Brothers, Billy Preston, Gil Scott-Heron, Weather Report, Stephen Stills, the Doobie Brothers, Dave Mason, Little Feat, Joan Baez and Steve Hillage. Columbia-Greene Community College hosts a celebration of Malcolm Cecil’s 80th birthday on Saturday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. in its Arts Center Theater. The performing ensemble includes Cecil and other jazz royalty: the legendary Dave Holland (bass), Marvin “Bugalu” Smith (master percussion), Patricia Dalton (vocals), George DeLeon (tenor sax), John Esposito (keyboards), Ron Petrides (guitar), José Cuevas (drums), Charlie Apicella (guitar) and Amy Bateman (violin). Admission costs $20 for the general public and $18 for students and senior citizens. Tickets are available at the Greenport campus and the Greene County Council on the Arts in Catskill.

Tannahill Weavers at Beacon’s Towne Crier

In the serious music world, guitar quartets are a suddenly hot thing, perhaps fueled by the relatively meteoric success of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. That foursome of virtuosi is hardly alone, however, and the repertoire for this 24-string chamber format is rapidly growing. On Sunday, April 30 at 3 p.m., the Ulster Chamber Music Series presents the Atlantic Guitar Quartet at the Church of the Holy Cross, located at 30 Pine Grove Avenue in Kingston. The Quartet comprises Mark Edwards, Kevin Shannon, Zoe Johnstone Stewart and Jonathan Zwi. Tickets cost $28 general admission, $23 for seniors and are free for those 18 and under.

BSP hosts Breakfast for the Boys album release show this Friday

Always a band with fierce chops in the service of good taste, great feel, egoless ensemble values and a rippedspeaker dynamo of a frontwoman, there was yet something about Breakfast for the Boys that felt a little stock or inherited: a received language of groove and gesture that they hadn’t yet gotten around to customizing or questioning much. This is not necessarily a bad thing; genres make great preexisting foundations for players and comfortable pockets for audiences as well. Young studs don’t think about how to run; they just run as nature instructs them. As a young band, B4tB simply smoked the clubs of New Paltz and environs. Most people who caught them by accident would thenceforward catch them on purpose. But making a record is a hall of mirrors – house-of-horror connotations fully intended. Nothing jolts you so violently out of your positional perspective as a player and into the out-of-body, external POV, with all of its great whys and why-nots and who-cares. Recording makes you ask the most abstract and formal questions – Why sing like this? Why sound like this? What is the journey and purpose of this song? – and makes you question the function of every f *cking waggle of your pinkie finger under the aural microscope. It can be excruciating, sobering, vulnerable, painfully transformative. At some point, you just have to say, “It is what it is. We are what we are.” And trust that it matters, or, under the right conditions, could. In the making of their self-titled debut, Breakfast for the Boys obviously went through the gantlet of such selfquestioning with open ears, unflinching honesty and the will to emerge somewhere different from where they began. Breakfast for the Boys is anything but a

24-Hour Drone Festival at Basilica Hudson

T

here is an old Zen proverb that you may have heard: “You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes every day, unless you’re too busy. Then you should sit for an hour.” I like to imagine that the organizers of Basilica’s famous 24-Hour Drone Festival feel similarly about the agency of drone-based music: Those with the least patience for it are those who need it the most. 24-Hour Drone is a roving, international series presented by Basilica Hudson and Le Guess Who? featuring musicians and sound artists in many traditions and with many tools experimenting within the spectrum of drone. While it would seem to be the domain primarily of electronic musicians, this is not the case; drone as unifying principle and aesthetic value quite predates electricity, and can be expressed via many modes. As if to prove the point, this year’s 24-Hour Drone includes the Shaker Museum, which will host an endurance reading of the 1816 Testimonies of Mother Ann Lee. The illiterate daughter of a blacksmith in Manchester, England, Mother Ann Lee was the visionary founder of the Shakers. She placed gender equality, pacifism and a profound sense of community at the core of the Shakers’ beliefs. The Testimonies, a compilation of her statements and the memories of those who knew her, are a foundational Shaker text. Other 24-Hour Drone participating artists include Russian-based musical collective and performance group Phurpa, singing Tantric, guttural songs from the depth of the throat; the wailing voice and harmonium of Shilpa Ray; Ben Shemie (SUUNS), returning to Drone with a solo piece; Roddy Bottum (Faith No More, Imperial Teen) delivering tonal meditations via synthesizer and vocal choir; internationally renowned sitarist and composer Veena Chandra; and very many more. 24-Hour Drone fills Basilica Hudson on Saturday and Sunday, April 29 and 30. Tickets cost $32. For a complete list of performers and visual artists, as well as information on food offerings and how best to take in the Drone, visit http://basilicahudson.org/24-hour-drone.

One other thing about finishing a record: It rather instantly makes you a different live band. Even if you are not attempting to replicate the record’s arrangements live, the experience of having gone so far outside yourself forever changes your awareness and the way you relate to the ensemble. Suddenly you are using your producer ears, not just your player ears. Considering how good a live band B4tB has always been, that’s kind of a scary thought.

conceptual moves on this record, it just works. The empathic band plays with odd signatures without calling attention to the oddness. The NOLA-backline-flavored “I Had It Right” bounces in and out of 5; “Fahrenheit” somehow manages to sound like classic Motown and be (mostly) in 7/4. Jazzy tensions reminiscent of both Steely and Stevie abound, but so does something like garage savagery (“Elevate”) and soul/Zep riffage. The cheeky musictheory joke of the album-closing ballad “Lydia” (its melody is in the Lydian mode) doesn’t obscure the track’s exquisite modern-jazz depth and beauty. There is an unerring sense of conscious choice about every single move here, and the overarching experimental spirit of a band both honoring and reinventing its traditions. In this band of chopsy and slick players (drummer Roger LaRochelle, guitarist Pierce Allen, keyboardist Lukas Brenard), the bassist Sam Smith stands out Everestian: a budding freak of the,

NIGHT SKY

Did life begin among the stars?

W

ith spring now performing its magic all around us, the origin of life often comes to mind. Was it a random, dumb, haphazard process, or is there a deep-seated intelligence to Nature? Evolution is a fact, not a theory. But just as factual is that science doesn’t really know how life began, and what consciousness really is, and how it can arise in the first place – not a clue. A plethora of books “about consciousness” share in common a breathtaking employment of doubletalk and gibberish: no help there at all. And because scientists are rarely humble or candid enough to say they haven’t a clue, maybe they oughtn’t get too bent out of shape by others filling in the blanks with “intelligent design,” since that doesn’t explain anything either. These things might well remain mysteries forever, and perhaps it’s best to leave insuperable mysteries alone until you can actually come up with something smart to say. We’re not even sure about the place where life originated. Until recently, most scientists dismissed the idea that earthly life came from deep space. After all, the fossil record shows that simple life began as soon as our planet became a hospitable abode, 3.9 billion years ago. Earth had carbon, water, lightning: everything you’d want in a primordial chemistry set. Somehow very complex molecules sprang up, including the amino acids that are the building blocks of living matter. The question is: Did these originate on Earth, or were we “seeded” from space? The issue has enormous implications. If Earth was the source, then it’s very unlikely that we’ll ever encounter lifeforms remotely similar to what we see around us. If, on the other hand, amino acids are strewn throughout the galaxy, then not only might life be exceedingly common, but it may even bear a superficial resemblance to Ricardo Montalban (“Khan”) – or at least Worf. During the last few decades, spectrographs detected ever-more-complex molecules among the dark, dusty gas clouds of the Milky Way. Ethyl alcohol was first discovered celestially in the ’60s, opening the possibility of future wild parties in Sagittarius. Things like cyano-acetylene – precursors to the amino acids so basic to life – were found a decade later. Then the ’90s brought us a real eye-opener: glycine, the first bona fide amino acid, found in distant star-clouds. At the same time, the signature of water was seen in faraway galaxies. But astronomers always assumed that the universe contains copious water, since it’s the most common compound in existence. Now that we’ve found an ocean under the ice of at least one

military surveyor who disappeared in Amazonia in 1925 while pursuing rumors of the ruins of a once-great civilization. World-famous in his day, the explorer was to the Mato Grosso what Sir John Franklin had been to the Northwest Passage 80 years earlier, provoking many a soldier of fortune to follow in his footsteps and many an author to dream on paper of similar exploits. Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World is said to have been directly inspired by Fawcett’s search, along with many of the works of H. Rider Haggard; both novelists were personal acquaintances of the explorer. According to biographers – including David Grann, on whose 2009 account the movie is primarily based – the reallife Percy Fawcett was a typical Brit of his time in terms of his attitudes toward “uncivilized” indigenous peoples. Lest we find the character as squirmily condescending as one of Haggard’s noble white explorers, the 2017 film version makes Colonel Fawcett out to be a more enlightened guy, seeking peaceable relations with the tribes of the Upper Xingu River and boldly defying the skepticism of the Royal Geographic Society that any advanced civilization could ever have been created by scantily clad, unbaptized, brown-skinned jungledwellers. Gray reportedly hired indigenous Brazilians to portray their early-20thcentury counterparts, and their costumes, tools and dwellings certainly resemble what we see in National Geographic photo spreads of the region. But the native people Fawcett encounters are still depicted as mysterious and inscrutable; we see almost nothing from their point of view. And the fact that the historical character’s documented racism is glossed over seems to undercut the film’s efforts to

be more politically correct than its Golden Age of Hollywood predecessors, rather than to rectify anything. In other respects, Gray makes efforts to ground Fawcett in his historical context, with a glance or two at women’s suffrage and a lengthy foray into World War I that serves mainly to display the character’s charismatic ability to lead. A brief encounter with a slaveholding rubber baron in Bolivia (a cameo for Franco Nero) is the only real exploration of the human costs of colonizers’ exploitation of natural resources. (There’s also a fun shoutout to Werner Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo, as Fawcett’s party crosses paths with a pioneering opera company.) The Lost City of Z is somewhat more successful in its attempt to depict the impact of an explorer’s obsession on his family life, returning frequently to the home front where Fawcett’s feisty wife Nina (Sienna Miller) is struggling to bring up their children without a father’s presence for years at a time. Miller and Hunnam’s scenes together are the most persuasively acted in the film; but Nina’s own thwarted desire to accompany her husband on one of his adventures is one of many intriguing plot threads that are introduced and then wander off into the undergrowth, metaphorically speaking, never to be seen again. So is the role of Fawcett’s financial-backerturned-nemesis James Murray (Angus Macfadyen), the movie’s closest thing to a villain: The reverberations of his dire threats of reprisal dwindle away into an expository postscript. It’s an example of what I think of as a movie written by committee, with too many ideas that seemed good at the time thrown into the pot, but not developed. Meanwhile, some of the more outrageous of Fawcett’s true-life adventures are left

moon of Jupiter, it’s obviously abundant. Finding water out there is no more surprising than finding socks under your bed. But finding glycine among the raven clouds of night, amidst the Milky Way that spreads across the heavens these very nights, is stunning. There’s still plenty of room for caution. Even if amino acids managed to hitch rides out of their protective nebulae in meteors, ultraviolet radiation would quickly break such complex molecules into simpler ones. A romantic rain of meteors delivering the seeds of future life to a primordial Earth requires the implausible persistence of fragile compounds for millions of years. And yet, with a streptococcus managing to survive on our own sterilizing, airless Moon for nearly three years aboard the Surveyor spacecraft, who can say that some protective encasement – like inside deep cracks aboard meteors – mightn’t shield complex molecules during their ages-long journey? Of course, this in no way explains the awesome, mysterious transformation of complex molecules into the magic of life itself. But we can all probably agree that the place where the first seeds of life originated is now very much an open question. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

out entirely. There’s an amusing scene in which he and his aide-de-camp, Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson), intent on their surveying gear, display remarkable sangfroid as a venomous snake crawls over their feet. But they don’t battle any 40-foot anacondas, like the real Colonel Fawcett claimed to have done. (The obligatory red-shirt-devoured-bypiranhas set piece is, however, included, if that’s any compensation.) All that being said, The Lost City of Z offers much in the way of enjoyment for viewers who feel nostalgic for great bigscreen adventures. While the 140-minute film’s narrative pacing sometimes seems draggy and at other times overly compressed, the cinematography is impressive, the settings evocative, the acting fine across the board. Miller is especially good, and I for one was forced to rethink my dismissive pigeonholing of Pattinson as “that sparkly vampire guy”: He’s excellent (and barely recognizable) as Fawcett’s scuzzy-but-loyal jungle sidekick. Hunnam makes Fawcett relatable, more a man-with-a-mission than outright crazy – he’s no Kurtz or Ahab, magnificently obsessed as he might be. The question left lingering in this viewer’s mind is whether I would be able to let go of my reservations and wallow in this movie’s visual pleasures quite as much if my brown ancestors had been colonized by white Europeans. It’s a conversation I’d love to have with some people of color – in this case, especially South Americans. Meanwhile, The Lost City of Z seems like a pretty decent half-step forward. May we see more of its ilk, with better representation of the view from the other side of the anthropologist’s lens, in years to come. – Frances Marion Platt

C

onsidering that his Almost, Maine recently supplanted A Midsummer Night’s Dream as the most frequently performed play in US high schools, and that his Love/Sick is being produced by community theatrical companies all over the map as well, actor/ playwright John Cariani could just sit on his laurels from here on in, living very well indeed off his residuals. But he’s at it again, tweaking a macabre comedy Playwright John Cariani will attend opening night. about consumerist suburbanites with something to hide that he has been working on since 2006. The newly reworked play is called Culde-Sac, and Cariani’s personally bringing his latest version to our region, appearing on opening night at the Culinary Institute of America’s Marriott Pavilion in Hyde Park this Saturday evening as Half Moon Theatre launches its new production as a tenth anniversary season-closer for 2016/17.

Hearing firsthand how he sees and hears it is both a gift and a challenge,” says Schiralli.

workers were systematically blacklisted for their progressive political activities. Gilford’s parents, Jack and Madeline, were targeted, and living under the threat of them being named created unusual childhood memories for the playwright. The couple was blacklisted for eight years during the 1950s and ’60s, curtailing not only their ability to get work in show business, but their very right to free speech and expression, as well. In Gilford’s fictionalized version, upcoming TV stars Mickey Dobbs and Natalie Meltzer loosely represent the couple; but he used actual Congressional testimony related to real characters and other public statements in the story. In a New York Times piece, “Blacklisted, from a Child’s View,” he wrote, “In Finks, the character based upon my father struggles to balance his budding career with the pressure of having to name names, which would destroy his marriage and his friendships. My real-life father never had any doubts about what he would do. But the play mirrors the cases of other families caught up in the blacklist.” Finks will be directed by Sean Marrinan and performed on May 4. On May 11, Duncan Macmillan’s Lungs will be directed by Christine Crawfis. Called “an off-kilter love story that is brutally honest, funny, edgy and current,” the play presents the deliberations of a young couple who want a child, but voice serious considerations given current global conditions: the general anxiety,

ART Into the fold Martial artist Jing Shuai to present free “Fan Your Talents” workshops

A

s a 16th-generation Wu Dang Taoist martial arts protégée, Jing Shuai has the responsibility to teach others Tai Chi or other Taoist martial arts. The designation also requires her to carry forth the principles of Tao, which means, she says, “to create opportunities to bring all people together to work in harmony with nature and each other. I have been taught that peaceful coexistence is what we should always be striving for.” Shuai has taught Tai Chi in the New Paltz area since 2011. Currently based at Roost Studios, the artists’ collective on Main Street in the village, she offers classes for those at every level of experience, and favors a multigenerational approach, in which those of all ages are encouraged to practice Tai Chi together. In her “Art and Culture of Kung Fu for Kids” ages five through 12, parents are encouraged to participate, too. Students learn safe, fun and simple Kung Fu techniques distilled from four typical styles of Chinese martial arts. The classes include an exploration of the relationship between Chinese calligraphy and martial arts, with lessons on ethics as well. “I teach children to be a good person first, and respect their parents,” Shuai says. “I don’t want them to learn martial arts and use it to become a bully!” Drop-in “Intro to Tai Chi” classes for all ages are held twice a week. The “Maintaining Wellness” Tai Chi course teaches the fundamentals, along with Qi Gong, Tai Chi meditations and weapon forms, including bare-hand solo and two-person bare-hand. Her intention is to help her students achieve their own respective personal goals, Shuai says, ultimately gaining a sense of equilibrium and harmony in their lives. Jing Shuai was born in Szechuan, China, not far from the Chengdu Research Base

Jing Shuai’s study has taken her to a Taoist monastery perched high atop China’s Wudang Mountains, to which she returns to continue her studies and live the monastic life for a few months every year or two.

of Giant Panda Breeding in the mountains of Chengdu. She has traveled extensively throughout China researching and practicing Tai Chi and its associated philosophy, earning professional certifications and certificates of honor along the way. Studying at a number of martial arts schools and an ancient Taoist monastery in China, her training took place under the guidance of respected Tai Chi masters. Shuai received her Grade Examiner certification in 2012 from the Chinese Martial Art Association for Yangstyle Tai Chi. Shuai has lived in the Hudson Valley for eight years and is married to Jim Delaune, Ulster County legislator for District 17. “I really love my second hometown, New Paltz,” she says. “I love the people, the village and the mountains, lakes and streams, which remind me of Szechuan. I am thankful every day for what I have learned, and the inspiration I have received from the people here; so now it is time for me to give back to my community.” In challenging herself to come up with a project to accomplish this, Shuai decided to create a new activity for people that would use the traditional Chinese arts that she learned growing up, but in a way that would allow others to express their own cultural backgrounds in the process. “I like to listen to people and learn from them,

and then incorporate what I have learned in the past to create something new, which might be beneficial for people of diverse cultural backgrounds.” The result is “Fan Your Talents,” a summerlong series of free workshops, performances and exhibitions that Shuai says she hopes will become an annual festival in New Paltz. The project is funded by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by Arts Mid-Hudson. The free workshops will begin with participants of all ages getting an overview of the ancient tradition of Chinese painted fans. Attendees will then collaborate to create art on provided paper fans, using images and words meaningful to their own cultural traditions. The first fan-making workshop will be held at Roost Studios on Wednesday, June 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. Further sessions are planned at the Elting Memorial Library on Saturday, June 24 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the New Paltz Community Center on Saturday, July 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. and at Twin Star Orchards (outside) on Saturday, August 26 from 1 to 3 p.m. (rain date: August 27). Beginning in mid-July, Shuai will bring the participants back together and conduct group dance training and performance rehearsal sessions, assisting fan-makers in preparing a solo or group performance to showcase the poetry, calligraphy, paintings or other artforms that they previously created on their fans. The performances, to be held on various dates in August and September

(outdoors at Twin Star Orchards on North Ohioville Road and indoors at the New Paltz Community Center and Elting Memorial Library), can encompass any method of performance from singing and dancing to storytelling or poetryreading. Fans will belong to their makers, but those who wish to can display them after the performances in an exhibition at the Elting Library, where a program wrapping the entire project up will be held in November. A full schedule of workshops and performance dates and venues will be found on the “Fan Your Talents” Facebook page. Making the fans is not so much about the participants learning how to make a Chinese fan as it is about using the tradition to share one’s own story, says Shuai. She herself learned Chinese traditional fine arts from a few wellknown artists, but says that she didn’t practice a lot or work toward becoming a great artist because she enjoyed a variety of artforms, and also liked to interact with people. Her love of performance arts was expressed when working as a quality control manager for a large ballbearings manufacturer in China, where she was made artistic director as well, organizing employees to put on shows for the corporation and the government. Her study of martial arts began early in her life, but Shuai says that she didn’t take it seriously until she was an adult. “My first martial art teacher, master Xin Di Zhou, told me not to give up practicing

generations and hundreds of years.” One of her masters, Ju Fang Liu, is a sixthgeneration protégée in the Yang Tai Chi style. Shuai’s study has taken her to a Taoist monastery perched high atop China’s Wudang Mountains, to which she returns to continue her studies and live the monastic life for a few months every year or two. The sacred site has existed for more than 500 years and is considered to be the location of the origin of Taoism, she says. She became a 16th-generation Wu Dang Taoist martial arts protégée after a few years of study and practice with master Shi Xing Chen, a 15th-generation master. Shuai says she hopes that the New Paltz community embraces the “Fan Your Talents” project not only as participants, but also volunteering to support the effort. “I believe that this program will be more meaningful and beneficial to the entire community if more people get involved.” Shuai credits a number of people with helping her bring her idea for this project to fruition, including Roost Studios’ founder Marcy Bernstein and SUNY-New Paltz graduate student Emre Arapkirli, who volunteered to assist her in writing the grant submission. “He is a wonderfully patient person, since regrettably, my writing in English is not as good as it is in Chinese. Emre provided a tremendous Sanford Gifford, Ledge on South Mountain in the Catskills, circa 1861-62. Oil on canvas, 12 7/8 x 10 3/4 in. Framed: 17 1/4 x 15 x 2 1/4 in.

“SANFORD R. GIFFORD IN THE CATSKILLS” OPENS ON SUNDAY AT THOMAS COLE SITE

A

mong the Hudson River School painters who followed in the footsteps of Thomas Cole, those who concentrated their art on the depiction of the play of sunlight on landscapes and waterscapes came to be known as the Luminists. And among the Luminists, Sanford Robinson Gifford (1823-1880) was one of the most gifted. Although he grew up right across the river in Hudson and was directly influenced by Cole, very few of Gifford’s paintings – including those of iconic viewsheds in the Catskills – ended up in art collections within the immediate region. So it’s a rare treat indeed when an exhibition is brought together for display hereabouts. Dr. Kevin J. Avery, who co-curated the major retrospective “Hudson River School Visions: The Landscapes of Sanford R. Gifford” for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art in 2003, has gathered about 20 paintings, on loan from the Yale University Art Gallery, Harvard University Art Museums, Portland Museum of Art, Albany Institute of History and Art and several private collections, for display in the “New Studio” gallery at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill. Gifford traveled and made sketches for his paintings in Europe, New England, New Jersey, the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest; some of his most famous works depict scenes in Italy. But the paintings in the new exhibition all are set in the Catskills, including views of Kaaterskill Clove and Falls, High Peak and Round Top, as well as Hunter Mountain and the Hudson Valley prospect. It’s the first time that a significant number Gifford’s paintings of the region will be on view just a few miles from the sites that inspired them, and art-lovers will be able to visit six of the viewpoints on the Hudson River School Art Trail (www.hudsonriverschool.org). “Sanford R. Gifford in the Catskills” opens to the public this Sunday, April 30 and be on view through October 29. With free admission between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., the opening event will also unveil the Parlors, a new immersive installation that combines technology with the meticulous historic restoration of the firstfloor parlors in Cole’s 1815 Main House. At 2 p.m., Dr. Avery will give a lecture on Sanford Gifford and the new exhibition at Temple Israel, adjacent to the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. Admission to the talk is $12 general, $10 for members. Regular entry hours begin on Tuesday, May 2, with the exhibition open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. The Thomas Cole National Historic Site is located at 218 Spring Street in Catskill. For more info, call (518) 943-7465 or visit www.thomascole.org.

amount of time editing my work, and he also helped me to pull my thoughts together. When I started to work on the grant, Emre was preparing for his final examinations; I was so touched that he always found the time to work with me.” Two of her Tai Chi students, Kelvin Antonelli and Beth Wynne, also meet with her often to provide guidance, she says. “And even my 94-year-old mother-inlaw has pitched in to support my efforts! Without the incredible people who have been working with me, I would not have been able to submit a grant application to Arts Mid-Hudson, nor would I have been awarded an individual artist commission to launch this program. This truly speaks to what a wonderful community we live in.” – Sharyn Flanagan

martial art, because it is a treasure handed down from ancient masters. But I didn’t fully understand his advice until I was in my 30s.” At that point, Shuai began to practice Tai Chi as part of her daily regimen, finding that it could be adapted to a variety of ages and levels of skill, and that she benefited from the practice in both body and mind. In 2004, she began to do research and undertook an in-depth study into the art of Tai Chi. There are many styles of martial arts in China, she notes,

with Tai Chi just one of them. Shuai says she feels that she is on a spiritual path that has helped her to overcome difficulties in her life and broaden her horizons, helping not only herself but also others to experience the serenity and growth that comes from the study and practice of Tai Chi. She concentrates her efforts in the Yang Tai Chi style. Serious practitioners align themselves with a particular lineage of followers, she explains, “not unlike a family tree that can be traced over many

very year on the weekend closest to May 1, the Center for Symbolic Studies’ Stone Mountain Farm, at the foot of the Gunks in the hamlet of Tillson near the New Paltz/Rosendale border, serves as the setting for a Beltane Festival. Music, dance, pageantry, giant puppets, jugglers, mummers and masquers celebrate the turn of the seasons, while food and craft vendors hawk their wares. It’s like a small-scale Renaissance Faire, with an emphasis on family-friendly ritual and magical entertainment. Situated at the point on the Wheel of the Year opposite to Samhain (Halloween), Beltane (May Day) is an equally significant feast day for neo-Pagans, and much less somber. Symbolically, it’s the time when Summer overthrows Winter. The 27th annual Beltane Festival takes place this Saturday, April 29 from 12 noon to 7 p.m. The schedule has been shifted around a bit, with the procession and May Pageant that used to kick off at 1 p.m. now happening at 4 p.m. Dress fancifully if you really want to get into the frolicsome spirit of the gathering. Admission charges range from $15 per person for the day to $35 if you’re camping. Volunteers not only get in for free, but also can stay for the bonfire and evening songfest. Carpool, hike or bicycle in if you can, as parking is limited. For tickets and more info, visit www.symbolicstudies.org or call (845) 658-8540.

When the shows close, we want to keep performing together even though the show is closed. This is a great opportunity for me to do that with some of my closest friends.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

April 27, 2017

In it for the long haul Spring Plow at Accord’s Saunderskill Farm this Saturday

S

aunderskill Farm is ready to turn its grounds into a country fair once again when the Hudson Valley Draft Horse Association (HVDHA) sets up the 36th annual Spring Plow this Saturday. With around 130 members, HVDHA practices the traditional skills of using horses, mules and oxen to run non-motorized implements through the fields. In pre-combustionengine days, these “beasts of burden� pulled carriages, wagons, skids and plows all over the planet. Most of the Association members now keep draft animals as a hobby, but many of their teams are still used for work such as logging and collecting maple syrup in the spring. While no one wants to consider a post-combustion-engine inevitability, the know-how involved in draft animal husbandry may one day become indispensable. To that end, HVDHA members meet monthly for potlucks, barbecues, square dance fundraisers, an annual auction and competitions at both Ulster and Dutchess County Fairs. They conduct a yearly draft horse driving class from January to April and eagerly share their knowledge with other organizations, particularly reaching out to youngsters through 4-H, Future Farmers of America, Boy and Girl Scouts clubs to pass along information on livestock and farming. The downhome festivities at the Spring Plow introduce new generations of locals and visitors to a rich way of life that continues to thrive. Robin Jurechko, a longtime member and secretary of the HVDHA, says that members gather from New Jersey, New England and all over New York to demonstrate field plowing and to show their animals. In addition to the many teams of draft horses, Jurechko reports that this year’s lineup will include five teams of oxen, plus one single and one team of mules. “Some people are coming from 100 miles away,� she says. “My ox Frank is 19, and I’m 74! I call this my ‘senior citizen 4-H’!� Horse-lovers will be able to see a variety of horses: English Shires and Suffolks, French Percherons and maybe some Belgians and Clydesdales. Visitors can get up-close-and-personal with these hardworking animals, and witness the loving care they enjoy. Eighteen-year-old Kaleigh Hammel will return this year to show her team of oxen, Oliver and Simon. “It’s primarily a working team,� she says, “but I trick-train all my animals because of the critical thinking it teaches them. It started with riding them like horses, and it progressed from there. I taught them how to shake, how to say ‘Yes’ and ‘No,’ how to give a kiss. The Roman riding – standing with one foot on each animal –came from a friend of mine who showed me a picture on Facebook. Most people do that trick on horses, but I went out to the pasture with my steers and tried it. “It doesn’t have a useful application in the work environment, but my approach to training is psychological. I like to get into how they think and react to things. Roman riding encompasses several important aspects of that. I ride my steers without any restraints, such as a bridle or reins. I just have my stick to tap them and tell them which direction to go. It requires self-control on the animal’s part, trust between the animal and the teamster, and you’d be surprised at how careful they are when I’m up there. They’re both pretty aware of where they need to be in

order to keep me standing. I’ve never fallen off.� Such attunement between animal and trainer is cultivated by lots of work together. “Trick-training is something I do for fun. I’m a large-animal trainer focused mainly on equines and bovines, working with other people and their animals and with my own animals. I have a team of Percheron draft horses, the Holstein oxen and a miniature trick pony. We do sleighrides, and I’m hoping to get into some weddings.� Additionally, Hammel teaches clinics and basic training classes. “I routinely work at Sterling College to integrate cattle into their curriculum. And I’m currently training a team of donkeys for Vermont Compost as a wagon team to bring eggs into town, do residential compost pickup and bring it back to the property.� At the Spring Plow, Hammel will mount her oxen and let them show their stuff. What’s a fair without the buzz? A variety of local country crafters will be on hand to display and sell their wares, including woodcarvers, stained glass, tack and riding gear, soaps, tee-shirts and much more. Food vendors will offer brisket, pulled pork, chicken, hotdogs and burgers seared to perfection by Accord Fire Company #1, along with all the trimmings. Locally produced eggs, maple syrup and the first spring berries, if we’re in luck, will be on sale, too. Animal-petting pens and pony rides will thrill the younger set, along with wagon rides around the property, children’s games and lots of activities for everyone for some good old bucolic fun. As for the obligatory big-tent, foot-stomping music and dance, Road House Revival will provide Western swing with a Rondout Valley twist. And a bit of bluegrass from the Shoe String Band is sure to keep your feet moving. The vendor area will include booths with HVDHA members, the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County and the Ulster County Horse Council to disseminate information on animal husbandry and other activities that each organization sponsors. Equine first-aid providers and experts on horse massage and chiropractic will explain their work.

Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 2 Of 2017 County Of Ulster A Local Law of the County of Ulster for the Regulation of Pet Sellers BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislature of the County of Ulster, as follows: SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. Many Ulster County residents own dogs and cats. The Ulster County Legislature finds that Ulster County residents feel a great deal of affection for their dogs and cats and consider them to be a part of their family and, accordingly, invest significant amounts of money in their care and maintenance. Dogs and cats are made available to the public from a number of different sources including, but not limited to, breeders, dealers, and pet sellers. The Legislature finds that breeders, dealers, and pet sellers vary in their treatment of cats and dogs and that some operate substandard commercial facilities that expose dogs and cats to inhumane and unsafe living conditions. The Legislature further finds that some breeders, dealers, and pet sellers will sell animals that are unfit for sale due to, among other things, diseases or congenital conditions. Therefore, the Legislature deems that the regulation of breeders, dealers, and pet sellers is necessary to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of Ulster County residents. SECTION 2.

(5) Indoor housing facilities shall have adequate lighting sufficient to permit routine inspection and cleaning and arranged so that each animal is protected from excessive illumination, which may pose a health hazard to the animal. Animal areas must be provided with regular diurnal light cycle of either natural or artificial light. (6) The indoor and outdoor facilities housing the dog or cat, including the primary enclosure or cage shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition in order to provide animals with a safe and healthy living environment. They shall be designed to allow for efficient elimination of waste and water in order to keep the animal dry and prevent it from coming into contact with these substances, except water for drinking purposes. If drains are used they shall be constructed in a manner to minimize foul odors and backup of sewage. If a drainage system is used it shall comply with federal, state, and local laws relating to pollution control. (7) In the event that a Pet Seller has a pregnant or nursing dog on the Pet Seller’s premises, the Pet Seller shall provide a whelping box for such dog. Each nursing dog shall be provided with an additional amount of floor space, based on her breed and behavioral characteristics in accordance with generally accepted husbandry practices as determined by a licensed veterinarian.

(iv) Dirt, sand, gravel, grass, absorbent bedding, or other similar material must be spot cleaned daily. These surfaces must be raked or spot cleaned often enough to ensure that all animals in the enclosure can avoid contact with excreta. Contaminated material must be replaced when raking and spot cleaning are not sufficient to prevent or eliminate odors, infestations of insects, pests, or other vermin. (3) Under no circumstances shall a dog or cat remain inside the primary enclosure or cage while it is being cleaned with live steam, sterilizing agents or agents toxic to the animal, or cleaned in a manner likely to threaten the health and safety of the animal.
