Making waves New Paltz Regatta this Sunday on the Wallkill River

H

ere’s the good news: The New Paltz Regatta, which began in 1955 through the college-town antics of Delta Kappa fraternity, will be back on Sunday, May 7, launching from Sojourner Truth Park. Theoretically, it could now qualify for many senior discounts. More importantly, it certainly qualifies as a venerable New Paltz tradition, if not an institution.

The bad news, of course, is the release of the recent report by Riverkeeper, documenting what people living along its shores have long suspected: The Wallkill River is not safe for swimming or wading.

As the environmental organization’s Water Quality Program director, Dan Shapley, points out in a March 28 letter expressing Riverkeeper’s support for the continuation of the Regatta, this fact is nothing new; we simply now have ample hard data supporting it. “The conditions we have observed in the Wallkill [since 2012] are likely to have been similar to the conditions present in past years,” Shapley writes.

Riverkeeper, and the Wallkill River Watershed Alliance of which it is an active member, nonetheless are encouraging the community to carry on with the event, with boaters making every reasonable effort to minimize contact with the

Enterococcus-contaminated water. “We believe that Regatta participants should understand what is known about the risks of immersing themselves in or ingesting the water,” the letter continues. That means no more horsing around, trying to get opponents’ rivercraft to capsize, as was popular in the Regatta’s early days as a fraternity stunt.

Shapley compares avoiding the Regatta altogether to giving up hiking in the woods simply because we know that some of the deer ticks there carry Lyme disease. “By

celebrating the community’s connection to the water and showing what a recreational resource the Wallkill can be, the New Paltz Regatta is a powerful tool for improving the river,” he avers.

Theresa Fall of the Water Street Market, who chairs the committee organizing the event, echoes that position that familiarity breeds advocacy: “If we walk away from the river, it won’t get cleaned up,” she says. “We should draw attention to the river, and not turn our backs on it.”

event as “the biggest free annual event in New Paltz” and “a symbol of community, eccentricity and the welcoming of the summer months here in our beautiful Hudson Valley!”

For the tenth year running, the Regatta will include a fundraising component for Family of New Paltz: the Rubber Duck Race, which gets underway around 1:30 or 2 p.m. For a price of $5 per duck or $20 for a Quack Pack of five, supporters can cheer on their numbered duckie to be the first to cross the Finish Line under the Carmine Liberta Bridge.

It begins with a parade of competing watercraft trundling on wheels down Plattekill Avenue from the Village Firehouse, beginning at 1 p.m. Before noon, late registrants will be able to sign up at village hall to compete in the Regatta – with volunteer notaries on hand, since you’ll need to sign a waiver promising not to sue the organizers or the municipality if you get ill from contact with Wallkill River water.

The line of march will turn left on Main Street, left again on Water Street and proceed to the boat launch site, located where Water Street adjoins Plains Road. Boat crews will toss candy into the crowds of spectators like at the Mardi Gras. Somewhere between 2 and 2:30 p.m., the Regatta proper should get started. Provided the handmade crafts are riverworthy enough to stay afloat until all are in the water, entry position won’t count for much, as this isn’t really a race. There is a prize category for Fastest, yes; but also for Funniest, Most Likely to Sink, Most Creative, Most Theatrical, Best in Show and a Green Award – like the Artists’ Soapbox Derby in Kingston, only wetter.

Once all the contenders have gotten past the Finish Line (or foundered in the attempt), the focus of the fun shifts to lower Main Street, on the lawn of the Gilded Otter and in front of La Stazione.

There will be family-friendly live music by Yard Sale and Ratboy, Jr., a bouncy house and face-painting by volunteers from the Woodcrest Bruderhof.

Registration for boats to compete costs $25 each, and can be done online at www.newpaltzregatta.com. Payments by check should be made out to the New Paltz Community Foundation. Additional information is available at http://bit. ly/2qvHKAU.

BASILICA FARM & FLEA SPRING MARKET IN HUDSON THIS WEEKEND

F

rugality may be a necessity when you’re living hand-to-mouth, and a virtue worth cultivating in more prosperous times; but one need not be living high on the hog to grow weary of “the economy of scale.” Mass-produced items may be cheap, but sometimes it pays to pay a little more for something made with love and care by human hands.

That goes for food as well as for household objects: If we’re going to devote thought to the feng shui of our surroundings, it makes sense to give equal weight to what we put inside our bodies, if not more. At crafts fairs and farmers’ markets these days, the line of demarcation between handcrafted or upcycled dry goods and farm-to-table artisan edibles is fading fast. Why shop in two places when you can stock your kitchen shelves, your wardrobe and your china cabinet all in one, with products that will make you feel good all over?

In the vanguard of today’s artisan foods movement are events like the Farm & Flea Markets that have been going on semiannually at Basilica Hudson. They started out as a Black Friday alternative to shopping malls, but now they’re happening in the spring as well, and they generate funding for Basilica’s year-round arts and cultural programming.

The Basilica Farm & Flea Spring Market returns this weekend, May 6 and 7, open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. General admission for the whole weekend costs $5 and is free for children under age 12. That gets you access to the wares of hundreds of regional vendors purveying fresh farm produce and value-added food products, handmade craft items and vintage furnishings and collectibles. Basilica’s cavernous space is located at 110 South Front Street in Hudson. For details, visit http://basilicahudson.org/farmandflea.

Birding for dollars Join John Burroughs Natural History Society ’s Big Sit fundraising marathon this Saturday If you sleep with your bedroom windows open even a crack, you’ll have noticed by the dawn chorus that plenty of birds have either migrated back from wherever they spent their winter, or are passing through right now. It’s a particularly rewarding time of year to keep an eye on your birdfeeder, or to go for a nice long stroll with a pair of binoculars in hand.

Each spring, the John Burroughs Natural History Society (JBNHS) – your

free guide to many a birding expedition in the mid-Hudson region – organizes its only annual fundraising event around a one-day marathon bird-spotting event called the Big Sit. It’s based on the same concept as a walkathon: Participants ask friends to sponsor them at the rate of a specific amount per bird species observed. Proceeds go to finance JBNHS projects like trail improvements, local bird research, building viewing platforms and the like.

But here’s the kicker: You don’t go tromping around in the woods and fields, like you might for the annual Christmas Bird Count. Instead, you mark out a likely spot – specifically, a 17-foot-diameter circle – at some promising viewpoint in Ulster County, set up your folding chair,

get comfy and hang out with fellow birders, making your list. You can work in shifts, but someone should be monitoring the location over the course of the full 24 hours.

Since Big Sit 2017 happens this Saturday, May 6, you don’t have much time left to scope out your own spot. But volunteers are still welcome to join the teams at three prime viewing circles: Lenape Trail at Kingston Point (73 species identified in 2016), where Mark DeDea (forsythnature@aol.com) will be fundraising to improve the kiosk at the Lenape trailhead; the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge (43 species in 2016), where Donna Seymour (dseymour66@gmail.com) is fundraising to continue improvements at Galeville; and West Camp Road in the Vly (56 in ’16), where Peter Schoenberger (pdsis@ yahoo.com) is fundraising for a Northern saw-whet owl banding program.

E-mail any of the leaders for directions and other details if you’d like to participate.

Contact Lin Fagan at faganlin@verizon. net to make a pledge toward any of these efforts, even if you can’t be there on Saturday. After the Sit, you will be informed of the grand total of species so that you may make your donation. For more info, visit http://bit.ly/2p3odpy.

“Art & Words: Ekphrasis� at Saugerties’ Emerge Gallery The epigram to the effect that “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture� has been attributed to so many cultural pundits that we will probably never know who said it first.

It has become a truism in recent decades, but the ancient Greeks would have scoffed at such a declaration of futility. In fact, they coined a special term for works of art that describe other works of art: ekphrasis, and to

Inspired by the newly launched Midtown Arts District (MAD) last year, Lace Mill community arts liaison Sarah Carlson and Shirt Factory events coordinator Lisa Kelley started discussing the possibilities of joining forces to create a dynamic group show of the buildings’ artists while also supporting the mission and initiatives of MAD. Carlson explains, “I wanted to do a show that was about what we have in common, rather than what divides us, and to have that conversation as a community. It seemed sweet to open that dialogue to the arts corridor right here, and a nice way for us to dialogue about what’s happening on the local and national stage. As artists, that’s what we do.�

Performance-based artforms such as dance, performance art, video and music will take place during the closing event. The Lace Mill is located at 165 Cornell Street in Kingston.

in spearheading the earliest jazz/rock fusion (one has to imagine that he would have defined it), Trane spoke to rock ears in a way that no other jazz great ever has or will. Part of his legacy lives on not in the history of jazz and the tenor and soprano saxes, but in the playing of guitarists as various as Hendrix, Garcia and Santana. Coltrane was also, of course, a progressively radicalized prophet of Afrocen-

MARY GAUTHIER PERFORMS AT RAILWAY MUSEUM IN PHOENICIA THIS SATURDAY

F

or quite a few years now, Flying Cat Music has quietly been bringing a special class of folk talent – both Americana and world – into the small-but-acoustically-and-visually-stunning space at the Empire State Railway Museum in Phoenicia. The room tends to be not only packed, but also attentive in that endangered listening-room way. Flying Cat has conditioned its audience to be all ears, and has rewarded it with some great material to feast on. It has become one of the region’s premier listening-room experiences.

Up next for Flying Cat is the poignant, often-devastating singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier. “Jagged edges, broken parts,” begins her song “False from True.” The line introduces a quietly brutal story of estrangement and loss on a remarkable album of same (2014’s Trouble & Love), but it might as well serve as the writer’s declaration of artistic purpose and the quarry of subjects that has sustained her career across ten consistent releases: damaged, lost and suffering people treated with surgically fine candor and with unforced compassion in a voice that is itself jagged edges and broken parts.

Mary Gauthier returns to the Empire State Railway Museum on Saturday, May 6 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $23 at the door or $20 with an advance RSVP. This is an intimate venue with seating for approximately 50 guests. Seats can be reserved by e-mailing flyingcatmusic@gmail.com or by calling Flying Cat Music at (845) 688-9453. RSVPs must be received by 5 p.m. on the day of the show in order to confirm seat availability.

The Empire State Railway Museum is located at 70 Lower High Street in Phoenicia. For more information, visit https://flyingcatmusic.com.

Written and directed by documentary filmmaker John Scheinfeld (The US vs. John Lennon and Who Is Harry Nilsson and Why Is Everyone Talking about Him?), Chasing Trane may bear a surface resemblance to another documentary once featured in the Rosendale series, Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me, in that its subject is similarly invisible and mute in a media sense. There are no surviving and usable radio and television interviews with John Coltrane.

Chasing Trane will screen at the Rosendale Theatre for two nights only: Tuesday and Wednesday, May 9 and 10, both at 7:15 p.m. Admission costs $8 general, $6 for members. Ulster County resident Rebecca Kalin, whose father painted hundreds of album covers for

jazz labels, including Coltrane titles, will appear at the Tuesday screening to recall his artwork.

uring the postwar years, World War II movies were a dime a dozen, most of them lionizing the heroics of the battlefield – and, if they touched on the role of women at all, the fidelity of sweethearts left behind.

be expected to get what they deserve.

Randomness happens. Then Vietnam happened, and onscreen, wars became metaphors for other wars.

But after Spielberg’s heartbreakingly gritty Saving Private Ryan, there seemed to be no further need to depict the gruesomeness, chaos and despair of the battlefront – at least in a 1940s context.

Unless a screenplay had a particular “angle� on World War II (smuggling Jews out of the Holocaust, plots to assassinate Hitler, Nazi art theft and so on), the camera’s eye turned elsewhere. And when it comes to new wars happening to provide fresh fodder for cinematic contemplation, this brutal world never seems to disappoint.

But with the remnants of the last generation with actual memories of the early-to-mid-1940s dying off, it’s probably to be expected that the film industry is coming back around for one more reevaluation of the “Greatest Generation� and what they went through.

That includes life (and death) on the home front. You may have noticed an upsurge in “what it was like growing up

Curiously, up until now the movies haven’t done any deep digging into the effect of wartime labor shortages on w o m e n’s expectations of their roles outside the domestic sphere.

There have been plenty of think pieces written about how Baby Boomer women became Second Wave feminists partially in response to their mothers’ frustrations with having to give up shiny new careers and start pumping out babies as soon as the boys came home. But we

haven’t seen much of the adventures of Rosie the Riveter onscreen, except in documentaries.

This is one of many reasons why the industry, and audiences, need more women directors.

One who is gradually building a solid reputation for herself in the new millennium is Lone Scherfig, whose aesthetic took shape in the Danish Dogme 95 school of filmmaking. Her 2000 feature debut, Italian for Beginners, was a low-key charmer, and by 2009 she had garnered three Oscar nominations for An Education. Stories with humor built around nuanced human relationships, too thoughtful to be fairly pigeonholed as rom/coms, are her forte. And her latest, Their Finest, deftly addresses that gap in Hollywood’s depiction of women’s experiences during the war years. Its directorial touch is light, although the

Chasing Trane Rosendale Theatre screens jazz documentary on Tuesday & Wednesday

W

here even to begin when discussing the influence of John Coltrane? Culturally and musically iconic, the mysterious Trane did not live to witness his canonization, nor did he get to receive his due as the pivotal figure in modern jazz’s pivot toward rock, groove and various kinds of rhythmic and harmonic liberation. While he came to fame as a member of the Miles Davis band that made the modal-jazz landmark Kind of Blue, and while he didn’t live long enough to join Miles in spearheading the earliest jazz/rock fusion (one has to imagine that he would have defined it), Trane spoke to rock ears in a way that no other jazz great ever has or will. Part of his legacy lives on not in the history of jazz and the tenor and soprano saxes, but in the playing of guitarists as various as Hendrix, Garcia and Santana.

Coltrane was also, of course, a progressively radicalized prophet of Afrocentrism late in his career.

As part of its ongoing Music Fan Film Series, the Rosendale Theatre presents Chasing Trane, a documentary on the elusive John Coltrane. Written and directed by documentary filmmaker John Scheinfeld (The US vs. John Lennon and Who Is Harry Nilsson and Why Is Everyone Talking about Him?), Chasing Trane may bear a surface resemblance to another documentary once featured in the Rosendale series, Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me, in that its subject is similarly invisible and mute in a media sense. There are no surviving and usable radio and television interviews with John Coltrane.

subject is heavy.

Adapted from Lissa Evans’ 2009 novel with the much-cleverer title Their Finest Hour and a Half, Gaby Chiappe’s witty screenplay gives us an inside look at Britain’s propaganda filmmaking bureaucracy circa 1940, when persuading the US to join the Allies was its top priority.

Gemma Arterton plays Catrin, a 30ish Welsh-born advertising copywriter living in a dismal London flat with her commonlaw husband, a not-very-successful leftist painter named Ellis Cole (Jack Huston).

She gets recruited as a script doctor to help in the war effort, and although paid less than her male counterparts, is soon making more money than her husband.

His masculinity threatened, Ellis wants to send her back to Wales “for her own safety,” but Catrin swiftly discovers that she loves the work – in spite of the blatant sexism that she must learn to surmount with a blend of wiliness, stoic determination,

coiffed and bespectacled to look less of a prettyboy than usual), a cynical bachelor who starts off quashing her ideas for giving

their movie project’s heroines something real to do by saying misogynistic things like, “Women don’t want to be heroes; they want to have heroes. Or they want heroes to have them.” But, laboring for a common cause under the crazy-making government crossfire of the propaganda shop, and not blind to her superior writing abilities and quick thinking, Buckley soon begins to afford “Mrs. Cole” the respect due a trench buddy. Attraction predictably blossoms, but is buried under snarky banter in the best ’40s screwball-comedy tradition; meanwhile, one London location after another is buried under debris from the endless air raids.

Complications pile up as well: Their true-life story of twin sisters nicking their drunken father’s boat to help with the Dunkirk evacuation turns out to be largely fabricated; the Ministry of War demands that they rewrite the movie for American audiences to include a Yankeeborn war hero who can’t act; a hammy English actor, once-famous but now too old to be mobilized or to play a matinée idol anymore, throws hissy fits when he’s cast as the elderly alcoholic. The latter character, Ambrose Hilliard, is reason enough to see the film, since he’s played by the always-delightful Bill Nighy, who has mastered the art of making audiences laugh with every twitch and slump of his storklike frame. A sort of ’40s cognate of Billy Mack, his burnt-out former rock star in Love, Actually, Nighy’s Hilliard starts out as a caricature of a pretentious, lousy thespian but very quickly evolves into something much more complex, wise and even tender.

A reliably fine and skilled actor playing an overrated one is meta to begin with; but this movie-within-a-movie excursion goes meta on many levels. It shows us quite literally how writers can rewrite their life scripts and how painters can make their subjects feel small via their use of perspective. For all its meticulous grounding as a period film, Their Finest has a great deal to say to contemporary audiences on such topics as male privilege, female resistance, gender identity, fake news, media manipulation, Hollywood values and the real (and often-random) cost of making war, without ever feeling like PC revisionism. Sweet, salty and bitter in pleasurable proportions, this opus turns a fresh eye on a familiar chapter of our past.

Bill Horberg

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

The producer Hollywood veteran Bill Horberg sets up shop in Kingston Horberg and his wife, Cuban-born fine artist Elsa Mora, are recent arrivals in our region. Close friends, a visit to Woodstock and to the Woodstock Film Festival and a hankering to be closer to nature led them and their children to make a home in Mount Tremper.

Horberg’s most recent project is The Promise. It cost $100 million to make, features a couple of Hollywood’s biggest stars and has a powerful backstory that has itself generated a soon-to-be-released documentary. More about both films later.

Horberg is a Chicago native who came to movies when it was still possible to do so without a film school diploma. His earliest days on the path to Hollywood were spent as the proprietor of a muchloved, rat-infested cinema called the Sandburg Theater. He was 21 years old; his business partner and friend was 19.

Together, they learned firsthand the thenimmutable laws of doing business in the

Windy City: laws that ensured that just about everyone, from the 1913 building’s owner to the local Mafia chieftain to the designated popper of popcorn, would take their cut of what small profits the starryeyed proprietors were able to scrape together before the building suffered a fatal-but-profitable-for-the-owner fire a couple of years later. If that sounds like the scenario for a coming-of-age comedy, Horberg has already beat you to it, though not filmically: He has written and illustrated a comic book that reads like a free-range storyboard of the saga.

Horberg pursued his fascination with film in his hometown by producing, shooting and ultimately selling blues- and rock-festival documentaries, all the while writing, developing screenplays that were never produced and securing the rights for two novels that eventually were produced.

He finally went West in 1986. The movie industry was on the cusp of several

“Welcome to the world headquarters of Wonderful Films,” he says to a visitor for whom he has just answered the door.

Wonderful Films is Horberg’s production company.

His office isn’t the kind of place you associate with someone who has produced a clutch of Hollywood and independent films you know and love: The Talented Mister Ripley, Cold Mountain, The English Patient, to name but a few.

technological and cultural revolutions: the growth of independent filmmaking, the rise of home video and such new creative outposts as MTV. The young outliers of the ’70s – Spielberg, Coppola, Lucas – were now dukes, princes and even kings of a new and suddenly vital Hollywood.

Horberg was initially a serf in that burgeoning empire. He paid his dues as a freelance story analyst. “I had to read about a thousand scripts just to make the rent and get enough gas in my car to get around,” he recalled. “It was brutal, but in retrospect, it was kind of my undergraduate degree into the industry – into what was getting made and who was who in the zoo – as well as analyzing all these stories and learning what worked and what didn’t, because I didn’t go to film school, didn’t have any kind of formal education in that way.”

The next year, he got a job as a creative executive at Paramount, which was about the hottest studio around at the time. He remembers those years as his version of grad school. All grad schools should be so packed with such estimable tutors. He worked with Francis Ford Coppola on Godfather III, Mike Nichols on Regarding Henry and, he remembered with a smile, the Zucker brothers, which meant working with David Zucker on Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (“one of my favorite titles”) and Jerry Zucker on Ghost, which was one of the biggest hits Paramount ever had.

A senior executive and mentor named Lindsay Doran left Paramount to join Promethean producer/director/actor Sydney Pollack’s production company Mirage Enterprises. Horberg followed her there in 1993, and stayed at Mirage for 13 productive and highly successful years.

Pollack, who’s best-known as the director of Tootsie, Three Days of the Condor and his masterpiece, Out of Africa, died in 2008. Horberg remembered him as a man who embodied some sharp contradictions: “On one day, he wanted to be a mogul and wanted to have a mini-

studio and run the world; on the other day, he was a kind of American Truffaut and wanted to run a boutique shop and make these kind of bespoke, humanist movies.”

But one thing about Pollack that didn’t waver over the years was his generosity toward other filmmakers.

“There weren’t many directors as committed to giving back and producing and sponsoring the work of other filmmakers as he was,” Horberg said.

“Other successful directors would spend time on their own projects, but he was a teacher. It was in his DNA. He really enjoyed coming into the editing room and giving a note or sitting in on a casting session; he just loved helping.”

He said that Pollack had a sort of “X-ray vision” for problem-seeing and -solving, and that it was a gift that forced people to think in different ways about storytelling.

“Nothing was arbitrary; everything had to be there for a reason, and had to service the what-is-it-about of it all,” he said. “It was quite challenging and frightening at times, because Sydney was such a towering presence. And he didn’t suffer fools.”

Another great writer/director, Anthony Minghella, joined Mirage as a partner after writing and directing The Talented Mister Ripley. He went on to win Best Picture and Best Director Oscars for The English Patient in 1996. Minghella died at the age of 54 in 2008, barely two months before Pollack died at the age of 74.

Horberg’s recollection of those days brings a softness to his voice. “For me to have the privilege of working with two of the most in-demand, humanistic filmmakers of their era and to be associated with them, representing them and collaborating with them, to be deep in the skirts of their process, to see how these guys thought and how they worked – that was just an incredible chapter in my life.”

Their deaths seemed to portend the end of an era for Horberg, and for the industry as well. “The kind of films those guys made and the values that they represented are just not what’s at the center of our global media landscape today: the internet, digital era, the triumph of technology and visual effects that combine to create the cinema of spectacle, which is the era we’re in now. “ That stuff just wasn’ t their preoccupations; they were really about the spectacle of the human heart, the spectacle of human nature. Those were the things they got out of bed driven to tell stories about.” A wistful look passes across Horberg’s face. “In some ways, I don’t know what they would do if they were still here.”

Horberg’s latest film, The Promise, resembles a big-budget Hollywood film (nothing says Hollywood like a $100 million budget), but, like The English Patient and before it Doctor Zhivago,

it tells an intimate love story against a vast and largely forgotten historical panorama – specifically, the genocide of the Armenian people at the hands of what is now Turkey shortly before the onset of World War I. The film is the legacy – Horberg called it a “passion project” – of the late movie mogul and businessman Kirk Kerkorian, who grew up in a community created by the diaspora that followed the massacre of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turks that began in 1915. It was a project that had been thwarted over the decades by Turkish interference and obstruction going back to Irving Thalberg’s day, Horberg said.

But all those efforts had been stopped, particularly in light of Turkey’s increasing strategic importance to US interests in the region: interests that continue to this day. The government of Turkey continues to deny that the Armenian genocide even occurred.

Kerkorian, who died in 2015, set up and funded his own production company, Survival Pictures, thereby eliminating the possibility of studio or back-door governmental interference. After securing the services of Terry George, the Northern Irish director of In the Name of the Father and Hotel Rwanda, Horberg signed on as the film’s “boots-on-the-ground” producer, responsible for coordinating locations, budgeting, scheduling and the infrastructural needs of a small army.

“That script had everything you don’t want to see as a producer: children, boats, animals, mountains, weather, period, thousands of extras, battle scenes. It was unbelievable.”

Kerkorian’s vision of The Promise was not, Horberg said, to make a small art film.

The Promise's “script had everything you don’t want to see as a producer: children, boats, animals, mountains, weather, period, thousands of extras, battle scenes.

It was unbelievable.”

“He wanted it large, he wanted it a love story and he wanted to evoke the movies of a different generation – Lawrence of Arabia, Zhivago, Reds, The Killing Fields – the kind of movies that really don’t get made anymore.”

For Kerkorian and for the people who made his movie, The Promise isn’t just a movie; it’s a cause. “This movie will be a vehicle to raise worldwide consciousness, to force a conversation, to break through the denialist infrastructure which has tyrannically robbed Armenians of any sense of closure or justice,” he said.

In addition to The Promise, an unusual “companion documentary” called Intent to Destroy will soon be released, about the making of the film as well as its topic.

“It’s a very unusual film in that [acclaimed director Joe Berlinger] was embedded in the making of our film, so there’s a lot of on-set footage of The Promise as it explores how and why it happened and why it has been buried by official versions of history.”

Horberg made a surprising admission about The Promise: “It was never going to be a big-box-office boffo hit. It wasn’t made for that reason. It’s not the lens through which we’re judging its success. This is a PG-13 movie; we want it to have a long life, want it to be taught in high schools. We want to change the conversation. There’s nothing like a film in pop culture to serve as the actual educational reference point to history.”

So, in ways large and small and mixtures of the two, Bill Horberg is reblazing a trail that his former partners and friends

If you’ve ever experienced having an elderly loved one need around-the-clock in-home care, you know that it’s a costly proposition, rarely fully covered by health insurance. Yet the caregivers who do this professionally barely eke out a living. And ours is no longer a culture where members of a family can afford to give up their jobs to stay within earshot of Grandma or Grandpa 24/7. Tinkering with Obamacare isn’t going to address the problem, by a long shot.

As the next installment in its monthly Engage Film Series, focusing on issues of social justice and community activism, Upstate Films in Rhinebeck will screen Care this Saturday, May 6 at 10 a.m. The 2016 documentary, directed by Dierdre Fishel, pulls back the curtain on the poignant and largely hidden world of in-home elder care. Beautifully shot and deeply moving, the film reveals the deep bonds that form between paid care workers and elders while exposing the cracks in the US care system. It also reveals the beginning of a movement to improve how we care – both for the growing number of older adults and for those who make their lives livable.

Following the screening of Care will be a panel discussion anchored by the National Domestic Workers ‘Alliance, Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers’ Network and Maria Alvarez, executive director of New York Statewide Senior Action.

Admission is free, but a $10 donation is suggested, to benefit the New York State Caring Majority Coalition.

Galumphing is the sort of movement that one might make while wearing galoshes: clumsy, noisy, ungainly.

But in a 1984 book titled Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art, creativity theorist Stephen Nachmanovitch described galumphing in a more positive light, as “the immaculate rambunctiousness and seemingly inexhaustible play-energy apparent in puppies, kittens, children, baby baboons – and also in young communities and civilizations‌the seemingly useless elaboration and ornamentation of activity‌. We galumph when we hop instead of walk, when we take the scenic route instead of the efficient one, when we play a game whose rules demand a limitation of our powers, when we are

While Ben Jonson was not incorrect in declaring William Shakespeare “not of an age but for all time,� some of the Bard of Avon’s works have weathered the changing mores of the past four centuries better than others.

The Taming of the Shrew gets revived less frequently than most of his other comedies, largely because its celebratory treatment of the subjugation of a spirited woman doesn’t play well with contemporary audiences. It’s very tough to make that final Stockholmsyndrome scene palatable, in which a defeated Katharine meekly sets her hand beneath Petruchio’s heel.

One way of grappling with the play’s challenges, in the mid-20th century, was to make it a vehicle for the witty songcraft of Cole Porter. The resulting backstage musical, Kiss Me Kate, with book by Samuel and Bella Spewack, was allegedly inspired by the incessant quarreling of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, then married, when they performed the lead roles in a 1935 production of Shrew.

Kiss Me Kate’s original 1948 Broadway run won four Tony Awards, including the first-ever for Best Musical. Among its songs is one that went on to become an iconic showbiz theme: the opening number, “Another Op’nin’, Another Show.�

You can hear them all at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck for three weekends beginning this Friday, May 5, in a new revival helmed by Emily DePew for Centerstage Productions.

Performances of Kiss Me Kate begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with Sunday matinĂŠes at 3 p.m., through May 21. Tickets cost $27 and $25. To reserve, call (845) 876-3080 or visit www. centerforperformingarts.org. The Center for Performing Arts is located at 661

Monk & Bud, together again–

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. 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, random acts of terrorism, climate change and political unrest. To procreate or not is the question bound up in their ruminations.

Voice Theatre Spring Reading Series at New World in Saugerties

Along with Tennessee Williams and Christopher Durang

Voice Theatre’s fourth annual Spring Reading Series, hosted by New World Home Cooking, offers up two performances this week. Finks by Joe Gilford recalls the mid-century frenzy caused by the House Un-American Activities Committee when actors and other screen- and television-industry workers were systematically blacklisted for their progressive political

“I

n Walked Bud� was Thelonious Monk’s salute to his great pianistic protÊgÊ, Bud Powell, who, like his mentor, suffered throughout his life from the effects of mental illness and racism.

Taking its title from that standard, In Walks Bud is a haunting theatrical tribute to both jazz giants by Glenn Laszlo Weiss, artistic director of the Star Mountainville Group, who will present a staged reading of his oneact play at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 6 at Greenkill: a new space located at 229 Greenkill Avenue in Kingston.

Weiss’ play, which takes place in the living room of the palatial house of baroness Nica de Koenigswarter – patroness and caregiver to Monk and, previously, to Charlie Parker – is a dreamlike final encounter between two friends estranged by illness, past history, time and distance. As Nica puts it in the prologue, “Maybe it happened, maybe not. Some will swear it couldn’t. They will produce affidavits that Bud Powell was in a sanitorium for tuberculosis in Paris at the time‌It will say so in black-and-white. And who can argue with anything stated in blackand-white?â€? Certainly not the lucky theatergoers and jazz aficionados who saw the original production 20 years ago, at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club.

But In Walks Bud is only one part of a Star Mountainville serial event at Greenkill. Weiss will also direct staged readings of three plays by Tennessee Williams – Talk to Me like the Rain and Let Me Listen, Can’t Imagine Tomorrow and Auto-da-FÊ – on Friday, May 5 at 8 p.m., and three by the mordantly hilarious Christopher Durang – Sex and Longing, The Doctor Will See You Now and The Hardy Boys – on Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13 at 8 p.m.

Tickets for each event cost $10 at the door, or $25 for all three shows. For more information about the plays or the new venue, call (845) 657-4146.

NIGHT SKY

The best of the sky Better than any photographs

I

’ve been away for a month: first an aurora tour in Alaska; then our Southern Skies expedition in Chile; then I flew to Patagonia to help find hotels and extra activities for our 2020 total solar eclipse tour there. It’s good to be back.

After 40 years of astronomy columns, and decades of leading tours around the world, that’s what my life revolves around: helping people see the most astonishing sky spectacles. Because very few people want to fuss with telescopes, or star charts; yet everybody wants to be amazed.

To be blown away by the heavens, you don’t need a special event like a total eclipse.

As the people who came with us to the Andes and the northern Atacama Desert found out, astronomical glory can be as simple as a truly unpolluted sky. Far from city lights, the Milky Way is so bright that it casts shadows. It’s blotted by sharply defined inkyblack dust lanes.

Some of the ancient cultures of South America focused on those black silhouettes in front of the Milky Way, and they saw well-defined shapes, like a giant dark llama just east of the Southern Cross. In those conditions, where the nearest corner store is 100 miles away, the sheer number of stars is so magnificently overwhelming it can be hard to trace out the familiar constellations (which in any case are upside-down). Two of our tour members said that it was the best stargazing experience of their lives.

And, although the powerful observatory telescopes we use do open up a whole new additional realm where we can see intricate nebulae and globular star clusters in which 100,000 bright stars are crammed into a ball, the naked eye alone is more than enough equipment to allow one to be swept away in astonishment. Thus I would rate the unpolluted Milky Way – or least the 60-degree swath surrounding the center of our galaxy, which runs from Sagittarius through Scorpius southwestward through the Southern Cross – as one of the Top Three natural wonders that everyone should experience in their lifetime.

Moving up to the Top Two wonders, here again no equipment is required. Number Two is a major display of the aurora borealis – meaning the kind of northern lights that have visible motion, with an obvious green and maybe pink fringes, great detail and sufficient brightness to light up the ground beneath your feet. Happily, in 30 years

Bird walks at Cary Institute in Millbrook

THURSDAY, MAY 11

Hit any hummingbird sightings yet? I did get a rose-breasted grosbeak in my feeder yesterday! If you follow birds, here’s something that I thought you’d like to know about: birding at Cary. All levels of birders are welcome; each of the three walks takes place in a different habitat; and they’re all right at the Cary Institute: Saturday, May 7 takes place at the Gifford-Cary East parking lot and traverses fields, streamsides and forests; the other two walks in the series are scheduled for June 4 and July 2. These walks are free and open to the public.

Just remember your binoculars, water and comfortable shoes.

If you happen to like to process and want to learn more, head across the river sometime to Mark DeDea at the Forsyth Nature Center in Kingston or the John Burroughs Natural History Society for one of his walks, because he makes everything so interesting that even I love birds now!

For the May 7 walk, get to the GiffordCary East Parking Lot, located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44) in Millbrook.

our tour company, www. specialinteresttours.com, has never failed to bring people to that degree of spectacle. And as a bonus, I get to see them every year as well. It almost doesn’t seem fair.

As for the Number One sky spectacle, you know what’s coming because I’ve said it before. It may seem redundant; it doesn’t matter.

It’s a total eclipse of the Sun. Not a partial eclipse, and not a lunar totality: Only a solar totality does the job of blowing everyone’s mind and making many weep.

As an eclipse astronomer, I’ve led seven expeditions to places like the Libyan Desert, tropical Australia and northeastern India. But this August 21, the Moon’s shadow conveniently comes here to the United States. Our tour has been sold out long ago, but you can go on your own, by car.

Join Family Partnership’s Postal Sort in Poughkeepsie I am hoping you clear your calendar for Saturday, May 13 from around 5 to 7 p.m., because you can actually help make a huge difference about food!

It’s time for the awesome Postal Sort: Round up your family and friends, pack a snack and water bottle and get ready to organize the food donations coming in from those bags hanging on mailboxes that day. Remember to bring a sense of humor about the oldest food expiration date that you’re about to discover (pro tip: Never donate expired food to a food pantry, or anyone; it’s disrespectful, unsafe and so much work to sift through them!).

All ages are welcome to help out at

this Postal Sort. It usually lasts a couple of hours, depending on the number of volunteers who show up. Our family likes helping out at this event because it is so helpful, important and straightforward: We’re simply placing nonperishable food items in labeled boxes. It feels amazing to see how much food we are working with! And, since we’re in the Lunch Box soup kitchen space for this activity, that familiarity makes it even more enjoyable to return to volunteer for a lunch or dinner prep or serving shift with your kids ages 10 and up, family, friends and colleagues year-round. Come be a part of this fun and important event!

Family Partnership is located at 29 Hamilton Avenue in Poughkeepsie, with easiest parking across the street on Hamilton. For more information and some photos from last year, visit www. facebook.com/events/998182303648987.

TASTE Cutting edge Joshua Applestone innovates meat vending machines

“M

y hands have been in meat for 16 years now. I can’t do anything else,” says Joshua Applestone, the nowfamous butcher responsible for bringing organic and grass-fed meats back into the neighborhood. After launching stores in villages upstate and in New York City, training new butchers in the trade, co-writing The Butcher’s Guide to Well-Raised Meat (with wife Jessica Applestone and Alexandra Zissu) and further educating himself in the art of charcuterie, the ambitious entrepreneur has proven himself to be anything but mono-talented. You might even call him visionary, once you visit an always-open outlet for fresh meats where everything is packaged and labeled and stored in shiny refrigerated vending machines.

Yes, vending machines: so retro for those of us who remember their arrival on the scene decades ago, yet so modern and slick and upscaled and convenient.

The vision is to have a variety of high-quality meats available to people 24/7, and to make the buying experience easy and satisfying.

General manager Samantha Gloffke explains, “ The key is filling the machines in a way people understand.

You don’t have that over-the-counter exchange with somebody explaining to you the different cuts and how to cook them. So we’re always working on signage, and we hired a lighting specialist to backlight the photographs around the machines – anything that helps people with a visual cue to what’s inside.”

The Applestone Meat Company opened one such kiosk-style outlet in Accord a while back. They had bought a truck and set out to deliver frozen meats to your door. The idea for vending machines came about because people kept knocking on the office door to find out what hours they were open for business. Now a second store is opening in Stone Ridge.

Both facilities house processing plants behind the vending kiosks. In Accord they do all advance processing, hotdog- and sausage-making and smoking. In Stone Ridge, whole animals will be broken down and butchered using sustainable methods.

That means nose-to-tail: Every part of the animal is used. Parts not for human consumption are made into dog food.

And about these animals: Applestone has always purchased from local suppliers who avoid using hormones and antibiotics to produce their beef, pork and lamb.

“We’re still using the same vendors – the same two people we’ve always done. We’re shepherds of a generation of farmers and of the land,” he says.

The company also offers whole and processed animals wholesale to restaurants, caterers and other retail

shops. Applestone wants to offer other packaged foods that, without unduly competing with the local grocery stores, make it an easy, one-stop experience for busy cooks. He and his team are thinking about preplanned meal boxes and simple methods to fill preorders.

They’re plotting a third vending kiosk in Manhattan.

When asked how the local suppliers will be able to keep up with the demand if the business grows, Gloffke says, “This is a model that could be repeated elsewhere, and so how do you do that? You don’t want to go to a larger supplier; instead, you actually create the closed model where you’re sourcing through another farm in that area, keeping it local. This way, the local food movement happens on that scale.”

And there’s talk of co-packing, which means packaging for certain brands that are made up as “shells.” “For example,” says Applestone, “Costco or Trader Joe’s are brand names that have a warehouse stocked with other people’s products.

Costco doesn’t actually make any products; they’re all made by co-packers.

We’re going to be working with a couple of big names to co-pack certain things.”

Expansion into all these diverse markets requires more space. Applestone says, “The third local facility will be in an industrial area. I’ve been looking for space for almost a year. I need roughly 10-to-15,000 square feet.” The facilities in Accord and Stone Ridge are essentially sealed buildings constructed within buildings, with no possibility of adding on. “It’s always the same game: When you sell meat, you need to have the refrigeration and a high capacity for water.

This building [in Stone Ridge] has taken a year-and-a-half from start to finish. We knew it would take time, and we’ve been held up for months on signage. We want the retail experience to be perfected here before we get to Manhattan.”

He talks about the experimentation

The idea for meat vending machines came about because people kept knocking on the office door to find out what hours they were open for business.

with vending machines that fit the company’s needs. “Within a year, we’ll have completely new machines. It’s very interesting when you think about a retail experience of walking into an unmanned store; everything has to be self-explanatory. Think about how ATMs work, and think about how many years it’s taken to get a flawless transition, to make it a part of a day-to-day routine. We’ve gotten good feedback about signage on the machines in Accord. We’re looking into the third generation of machines now.

The other option is customization, now that we’ve figured out what we do and don’t like about them, and how they can be improved. We want people to be able to get receipts, and do a computer panel that’s color-coded.”

Gloffke explains the administrative job of adhering to a different set of regulations. “In terms of vending, it’s a whole different world. We are a USDA processing facility, as opposed to an Ag and Market retail shop, regulated by the Department of Health. A processing facility has daily inspections and a huge plethora of regulations – from health and safety regs, to defining what a sausage or hotdog is, to what size font is used in labeling. Everything has a paper trail.

Plus, we can feed a lot more people with a wholesale business. We have a wider audience and wider risks, so they keep regulations very tight and fully traceable.”

The operation seems to be about so much more than what they started on John Street in Kingston years ago; there’s so much more to the business than just cutting meat. “I look at technology in a completely different way,” says Applestone.

“So many things we do by hand. In hiring staff, the approach is to bring on people who have no skills and are excited to learn, and are excited to work on a team. People who have their own ways of doing things are not flexible. The thing I’ve always wanted to do is: Instead of eliminating jobs with automation, we create better ones.” Better training, better pay, less turnover in staffing. Bumping up to a crew of ten is the current task.

When Stone Ridge is open for business, they’ll bring in a food truck and some music, set up a hotdog cart and throw a party. “We want to make Stone Ridge engaging and warm, and as inviting as possible,” says Gloffke. The Applestone

Meat Company, with two locations at 3607 Route 209 in the village of Stone Ridge and at 4737 Route 209 in Accord, is an ongoing journey, staffed by a tight team of dedicated employees and run by an entrepreneurial spirit that never stops.

Making better berries Moving day’s coming soon for my played-out strawberry patch

“D

oubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did,” wrote a Dr. Boteler about the strawberry (as quoted in Izaak Walton’s 17thcentury classic, The Compleat Angler).

I disagree. I also don’t like to crawl for my fruit. With that said, I’ll agree that strawberries do taste very good – the more so for being, usually, the first fruits of the season.

I just took a look at my strawberry bed: Weeds are making inroads and the plants look pretty puny. Dispatching the weeds is no problem. As far as the puny plants, it was to be expected. Although strawberries are perennial plants, over time they pick up diseases, including some virus diseases lacking dramatic symptoms, except that they reduce productivity. So a strawberry bed should be replanted – at a new location – every five years. My garden notes tell me my strawberry bed is eight years old.

Strawberries send out shoots, called runners, at the ends of which develop new plants that, in turn, send out runners that also develop new plants, ad infinitum. So an untended bed can become very weedy – with strawberries. Even a well-tended bed sneaks in a few extra plants here and there. None of these plants should be used to start a new strawberry bed! Viruses are systemic, so all these new plants will also carry any virus infection.

I’ll be ordering my new strawberry plants from a nursery that sells certified

ALMANAC WEEKLY EVENT

Flamenco and a feast at Kaatsbaan

C

arlota Santana’s Flamenco Vivo will be wrapping up its spring residency at the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli this Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14,.

Beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, a special event called Jardín Andaluz will incorporate a full flamenco performance with wine and ANGELICA ESCOTO Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana supper, accompanied by Spanish classical guitar by David Temple. The Kaatsbaan Playing Field Award will also be conferred during the evening’s festivities. Allinclusive tickets cost $75 per person.

Then, at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, you can enjoy a full flamenco performance without the extra trimmings. Tickets cost $45 for café-table seating; general reserved seating goes for $30 for adults, $10 for student rush and children.

Kaatsbaan occupies a 153-acre site on the rolling hills of a former horse farm above the Hudson River, an idyllic setting for the dance residencies that the center pioneered almost 30 years ago. Eleanor Roosevelt spent her summers on the estate and nearby at her grandparents’ Tivoli home. She “trotted her horses around the grounds and stabled them in the historic Stanford White-designed Music Barn, named for its neighing and mooing inhabitants,” notes Kaatsbaan co-founder Bentley Roton.

To order tickets, visit http://kaatsbaan.org/events.html. The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center is located at 33 Kaatsbaan Road in Tivoli.

disease-and-virus-free strawberry plants.

Then, at least, the plants start off “clean.”

If I had authored that quote by Dr. Boteler, I would have applied it to highbush blueberries. Not only are they, in my opinion, the best-tasting berry, but the plants are also truly perennial, remaining productive for 50 years or more. And I can harvest them standing up.

No one is sure just how long a blueberry bush will thrive, because they haven’t been cultivated for very long. It was only about a hundred years ago that Dr. Frank Coville of the USDA started studying blueberries in an effort to learn how to grow them.

Previous to that, harvests were from wild plants. Even 50 years ago, fresh blueberries rarely appeared on grocers’ shelves.

Strawberries, also, have come into cultivation relatively recently – in this case, over the past 200 years. Garden strawberries, that is, which owe their origin to a chance mating of two American species of strawberry in a garden in France.

One parent of the modern garden strawberry is the Virginia strawberry of eastern North America. Plants of this tasty, small-fruited species were brought over to Europe and planted in gardens there as early as the 17th century.

Intrigue enters the story in the arrival of the other parent of the modern garden strawberry, the Chilean strawberry, to Europe. Moving the clock forward to the beginning of the 18th century, we find the French king Louis XIV needing a spy to observe Spanish fortifications in Concepción, Chile. For this task, he chose Amédée-François Frézier, a young lieutenant colonel who had already distinguished himself with an aptitude for foreign languages and science. Frézier set sail on an armed merchant marine ship in 1712.

Upon his arrival in Chile, Frézier posed as a merchant marine captain, which enabled him to visit Spanish fortifications as a tourist. Secretly, he kept notes and made sketches of ammunition stores and escape routes. Besides military reports, Frézier also wrote about the indigenous peoples, the physical geography and agriculture of the region. One of the plants that caught the lieutenant colonel’s fancy was the Chilean strawberry, which bore fruits larger than those that were known in Europe. Frézier included descriptions and sketches of the Chilean strawberry in his notes, and when it finally came time to leave Chile in 1714, he packed up

five plants to smuggle back for his return voyage.

The marriage of the two species finally took place in a strawberry field near Brest, France, as a bee carried pollen from the flower of a Virginia strawberry to the female flower of a Chilean strawberry.

From the fruit that developed, a seed germinated and grew into a plant that was the first modern hybrid strawberry, combining the large size of one with the high flavor and intense red color of the other.

Since Dr. Boteler and Izaak Walton were writing in the 17th century, that “better berry” to which they referred could not have been the modern garden strawberry. But other species were enjoyed before the modern species came into being: the alpine strawberry (Fragaria vesca), and the musk strawberry (Fragaria moschata). Both species yield delectable, though small, fruits, and are still available today. I’ve grown both.

Musk strawberry might be the besttasting of all, but yielded very little for me. I’ve grown – and still grow – alpine strawberries: white ones that have a pineappley flavor and are ignored, because of their lack of color, by birds. The plants are cold-hardy, don’t make runners and bear all season long. The fruits are a

nice little treat, but not ones with which you’d fill your freezer. For that, the one to plant is some variety of the modern garden strawberry. I’ll be ordering plants of Earliglow.

A

few days ago was the perfect day for planting the Vanessa grapevine deposited here by the UPS guy. Not because the weather was warm and sunny, or because working outdoors was made all the more pleasant with peach, pear and plum trees in all their glory, awash in white or pink blossoms, and not because the plums were suffusing the air with a most delectable fragrance; the day was perfect for planting because the soil was in such good tilth. With each shovelful, clumps of soil broke apart under their own weight – a far cry from decades ago in my first garden, around this time of year, when digging brought up clods of Wisconsin soil still sticky and wet.

In wet soil, digging drives air out of the soil; under such conditions, roots of trees, shrubs, vines and seedlings suffer.

Better to wait for the soil to dry before planting. But not too long: Soil that is too dry turns rock-hard, too hard to crumble into small pieces to sift amongst roots. All this is moot in sandy soils, which never hold enough water to make them too wet for planting.

My present ground is a clay loam, which could be poor for planting if too wet. It wasn’t, because, first of all, it hadn’t rained for a few days. Second, warm weather had warmed the soil, the warmth speeding downward movement of excess water.

And third, years and years of mulching with leaves, hay and compost had made the ground rich in organic matter, whose goodness had worked its way down through the soil profile with the help of earthworms and other soil organisms, rain and the action of alternate freezing and thawing. Organic matter, among other benefits, acts as a glue to aggregate soil particles into a crystallinelike structure that helps with holding both air and water.

I can bank on Vanessa growing well her first season in the ground. Soon after she arrived, bare-root, I had her roots plumping up with a daylong soak in water. Her planting hole was just deep enough to let her sit at the same depth as in the nursery, and oneand-a-half-to-twice the spread of the roots across. I clipped back a couple of long, straggly roots.

Holding the stem with one hand, I pushed the soil that I had dug out of the hole back in amongst the roots, working it in with my fingertips after initially sifting soil in among the smaller roots by bouncing the plant up and down a little.

With the roots nestled into their planting hole, I sprinkled a couple of gallons of water to settle the soil further and get the plant off to a good start.

She arrived with five strong-looking canes jutting up just above where her roots splayed out: too many, for my purposes.

Like her established neighbors, Vanessa will be trained to a “high-wire doublecordon spur-pruned” system: a mouthful that sounds more complicated than it is.

Two trunks will rise, unbranched, to about six feet in height to the middle wire of a five-wire trellis. One trunk will continue its journey horizontally along the middle wire in one direction; the extension of the other trunk will do likewise in the opposite direction. These two horizontal growths are permanent fixtures, called cordons (same root as the word “cord”).

Grapes bear fruits on one-year-old stems. These are the so-called “canes,” easily identified by their smooth reddishbrown bark and roughly pencil-thickness.

New shoots growing from buds on canes bear bunches of grapes and can drape on the remaining wires on either side of the middle wire.

The following year, the new shoots become one-year-old canes. Without pruning (or with incorrect pruning), fruiting shoots and canes each year move further and further away from the cordon.

So I cut each cane back to two buds in winter and, after a few years, cut them all the way back, to be replaced by new canes that are always popping out right from the cordon.

But all this is in Vanessa’s future. This year, all I want from her are two strong trunks.

I didn’t follow my own advice: Because I needed to convert a lumpy old garden area next door to lawn, and because lawn grass establishes best in cool weather, and because I had two helpers coming in a few days to help with ground preparation, I readied the area with a rototiller. I did so even though rain had been falling all day long. Rain fell even while I was tilling.

All in all, it was a horrible experience: mud everywhere; wrestling the tiller; loud engine chugging away. (Now I remember one reason for my book, Weedless Gardening: Weedlessness comes, in part, from dispensing with tilling, which awakens buried weed seeds by exposing them to light. And there’s the added benefit of not having to till.)

With good drainage, the job finally got done without excessive destruction of soil structure. And anyway, I was only planting lawn grass.

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.
