Pine Bush UFO Fair

Carolee Schneemann (photo by Andy Archer)

The radical artist and longtime New Paltz area resident Carolee Schneemann will receive the prized Golden Lion at the 2017 Venice Biennale. Recognizing lifetime achievement, the Golden Lion is awarded every two years. Schneemann has long been heralded as a vital figure in feminism and in performance. While she began her career as a painter in the 1950s, she is best-known for her works of performance art, such as Meat Joy (1964) and Interior Scroll (1975).

Schneemann will receive the award on May 13 at Ca’ Giustinian, the headquarters of La Biennale di Venezia, at the opening of the 2017 exhibition.

While People of Earth, TBS’ quietly brilliant comedy about a UFO abductee support group, ostensibly takes place in Beacon, Pine Bush is the local village with the serious UFO creds.

Accounts of unexplainable and airborne phenomena in Pine Bush date back to the 1960s. The Pine Bush UFO Fair takes place on Saturday, May 20.

Activities include a costumed parade, a Paranormal Center and a speakers’ tent. At 7:30 p.m., there will be a showing of Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, a film by Janet Stein, documenting a famous alleged 1975 abduction. Travis Walton and Jennifer Stein will be on hand to take questions. For more information, visit www.pinebushufofair.com.

FESTIVAL

Apple Blossom Day: A Red Hook tradition

R

egardless of garden guru Lee Reich’s oft-repeated warnings that apple trees are persnickety houseguests in this part of the world, the fact remains that historically, the mid-Hudson Valley is orchard country. Many a community hereabouts celebrates the onset of autumn with an Apple Festival. But precious few bother to mark blossoming time in the spring with a seasonal ritual – despite the fact that in Europe of old, folks used to go a-wassailing around their blooming apple trees, singing and pouring libations to the nature spirits to encourage a bountiful harvest.

The Village of Red Hook is a rare exception, conjuring up an Apple Blossom Day on an annual basis. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, May 13, Main Street and Broadway will come alive with fair food and free festivities for all ages, including live animals, arts and crafts and a stage with live music. At the center of the action will be the Red Hook Public Library at 7444 South Broadway, whose front lawn will host a giant bubble station, face-painting and “unconventional electronics” beginning at 11 a.m. The Orchestra Now from the Bard Conservatory will perform modern classical music on the Library’s front porch from noon to 1 p.m.

Elsewhere downtown, check out the fun, discounts and specials offered by the following businesses: Pause Dog Boutique, Equis Art Gallery, Rainbow Body Yoga, Maggie’s Royal Tearoom at the Red Hook Country Inn, With You Lockets, the Welltree, Boulevard Vintage & Antiques, Rhinebeck Dance Centre, Felicity Designs, Clove Kitchen Market, Living Eden and Annex Antiques.

MOVIE

Insofar as Guardians 2 is about anything substantive, it’s about family, and how the ones we choose to assemble for ourselves are oftentimes more nurturing than the ones into which we’re born. The most interesting character dynamics involve the role of Yondu, the pirate king (above) who decided to keep young Peter as a protÊgÊ instead of delivering him to his father as contracted.

Fresh talk gone stale Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a fun romp that falls short of Vol. 1’s promise

R

ecently making the rounds of social media was a challenge to write a synopsis of a science fiction plot in exactly four words. Easily a quarter of the responses included the word “alien(s).�

Hardly any were original in concept or genuinely speculative. It got me thinking about how science fiction as a pop-culture genre has been going backwards of late.

This phenomenon manifests to some degree in the literary world – notably in the attempted takeover of the Hugo Awards ballot a couple of years ago, when the factions self-described as Sad Puppies and Rabid Puppies discerned a “political correctness� conspiracy in the fact that stories challenging contemporary sociologi-

cal assumptions were regularly winning more critical acclaim than the militaristic space operas (invariably by straight white male American writers) that they preferred. Never mind the fact that making us think outside our cultural boxes, to ask “What if?� is what the genre is supposed to be about.

But it’s on the big screen that this retro trend is most obvious. There’s an occasional successful sci-fi movie that truly pushes the boundaries of our view of the universe and its inhabitants; last year’s Arrival is the obvious recent example. And it was even about aliens! But it was also about communication and empathy and the ethical implications of galloping technology.

Sadly, the kind of science fiction that poses such questions – the kind exemplified several decades back by such authors as Ursula K. LeGuin and Theodore Sturgeon – has been stampeded in the movie industry by the rush to bring more action films to the screen that will become as iconic to young viewers as Star Wars did to the generations who have taken social media to their hearts.

As much fun as the Star Wars franchise and its imitators can sometimes be, there’s no denying that they’re essentially space opera: adventure tales of cowboys (and the occasional cowgirl) with fast flying machines instead of horses and weapons that go zap instead of blazing six-guns. Even

the original Star Trek series, progressive as it was in terms of trying to portray an interstellar society in which racism (and even speciesism) had become truly meaningless, still had hot chicks in skimpy costumes running around practically every planet that the starship Enterprise visited. Missing was a reality that we all should h av e l e a r n e d by now from history: Radical technological innovations force people and societies to adapt in fundamental ways, and fast. Captain Kirk would’ve been better-educated by visiting planets where people had three genders, as LeGuin envisioned, instead of peeling his shirt off for greenskinned babes wherever he went.

Onscreen, the state of the art hasn’t progressed nearly as much in thoughtfulness as it has in CGI-enabled effects. So the closest thing to a new subgenre that we have to contemplate at

present is what might be termed “space operetta,� exemplified by the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Characters don’t exactly break into patter songs in between zany antics, but bouncy pop tunes appear on the soundtrack to alleviate the tension anytime the drama veers toward any weighty consideration.

The primary protagonist of both Guardians movies, Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), is a kid abducted by space pirates and raised to the trade. His great misfortune is not the result of being born on February 29 or having a hard-of-hearing nanny, but of being sired by a terraforming, demigodlike space being named (wait for it‌) Ego (Kurt Russell). Making planets is a demanding gig, keeping dear old Dad on the road more than a traveling salesman; but Quill finally gets to meet him in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and so do we. The garishly colored paradise that is Ego’s home planet is the main incentive to see this movie in 3-D; in 2-D it isn’t quite so impressive

NIGHT SKY

Alignment at our galaxy’s core A Saturday night special

S

omething special happens in the sky on Saturday night, May 13: The Moon will hover next to the planet Saturn. And they’ll both be aligned with the center of our galaxy. Cool stuff – and useful.

You don’t really need the Moon to act as an usher to guide you to Jupiter, because Jupiter is so brilliant it attracts attention on its own. But Saturn is merely a somewhat-bright “star,” and doesn’t particularly stand out. So having the Moon float alongside it is very helpful. Both celestial bodies are in Sagittarius, which resembles an archer to the same extent that I resemble Brad Pitt. It actually looks like a teapot, and is labeled that way on most modern star charts. The teapot is below Saturn and the Moon.

So happens, that’s where the center of our galaxy is located, some 25,000 lightyears away. Every star in the sky revolves around that spot. It is the locus of all motion. If that’s not enough to make it special, there’s more.

A few years ago, astronomers discovered a huge double bubble of gamma rays emanating from that spot. The source is ultra-powerful and so enormous that it takes up half of our southern sky. And it’s an utter mystery, because no known process can create that much energy. So this enormous hourglass figure – one soap bubble balancing atop another, and now usually called the Fermi bubbles – is centered just below the Moon and Saturn on Saturday night. A lot of power right there.

If you own a small telescope, the Moon is in its waning gibbous phase and is optimally illuminated to show lots of craters and mountains. And Saturn is visually the most mindblowing planet. Seeing those glorious rings only requires 30X magnification, so a small telescope will do the job nicely.

And if all you have are your baby blues, then just drink in the stars below and to the right of this conjunction. This is the famous Sagittarius and Scorpius pairing, with the Scorpion’s orange star Antares well to the right of the Moon and Saturn. There’s a lot to love here, and the price is right.

point for this theme is Rocket (Bradley Cooper), the bioengineered space raccoon whose scattershot insults delivered much of the zing of the first Guardians movie. But here – probably because the strength of the writing is not as consistent – the little furry guy’s sassy attitude starts to become merely an irritant after a while. It’s front-andcenter as buildup for a heartstring-tugging moment in the third act, but getting there is wearing. Scenes where he mocks a baddie’s choice of nickname, Taserface, go on way too long. Yeah, Rocket’s compulsively confrontational. We get it.

as state-of-the-art CGI has trained us to expect by now.

Insofar as Guardians 2 is about anything substantive, it’s about family, and how the ones we choose to assemble for ourselves (or accumulate by circumstance) are oftentimes more nurturing than the ones into which we’re born. The most interesting character dynamics involve the role of Yondu, the pirate king who decided to keep young Frederic – sorry, Peter – as a protégé instead of delivering him to his father as contracted. Watching Michael Rooker unfold the (relative) complexities of Yondu’s motivations is the new movie’s biggest pleasure, actingwise. Sporadic battles between Guardian Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and her captured assassin sister Nebula (Karen Gillan) form a less-successful familial subplot. Though it does provide an opportunity for Gamora to demonstrate her badassery rather amusingly by wielding a piece of very heavy artillery that fell off the exterior of a wrecked spaceship, otherwise it’s not very compelling. In fact, when the sisters finally start bonding over their shared bad parenting, it feels like they’re about to break into “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” from Frozen.

Arguably, the story is also about the price that people pay for pushing others away emotionally in order to avoid revealing the vulnerable heart that beats beneath one’s tough, wisecracking exterior. The focal

But you can’t be one of those people who hits the hay at 9 p.m. The entire scene doesn’t rise until 11 p.m., or nicely clear the horizon until midnight. It’s highest and best-seen around 2 a.m. However, if you’re coming home from a late-night party, take a moment while you fumble for your keys, and look up.

Much more rewarding, in terms of character dynamics, is the pairing of Drax the Destroyer – a musclebound, filterless, socially tone-deaf dude from a planet where autistic behavior is the norm, played with perfectly timed alternating glee and deadpan delivery by former pro wrestler Dave Bautista – with Mantis (Pom Klementieff ), an utterly naïve empathic healer raised in isolation by Ego. Their awkward interactions are the funniest stuff in Guardians 2 by a long shot.

This is a comic-book flick that fully embraces its two-dimensional comic-

bookness; approached on that level, it’s enjoyable – though not nearly as refreshing as its predecessor. If you don’t look for more than one thick layer of sentimentality overlaid with a thicker second layer of snark, propelled by plenty of zooming, swooping action, you’ll have a pleasant time at the movies with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. For provocative speculative fiction, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Perhaps we’ll see such wonders move from paper back onto celluloid again in our lifetimes.

TASTE Wasted in Woodstock

Q

uestion: What weighs 70 billion pounds, is the single largest material clogging landfills and incinerators and emits a gas – methane – that packs 21 times the global-warming punch of carbon dioxide?

Answer: food. More specifically, food waste: food that was prepared but never eaten; parts of plants or animals that aren’t popular or deemed palatable; plain old kitchen scraps. Seventy billion pounds of it, every year, in the USA alone.

Another question, whose answer is perhaps even more sobering: How many Americans are estimated not to have enough to eat? The answer: 42 million.

While any one of us may feel a twinge of regret when forced to deep-six that tunafish sandwich that we left out on the counter overnight, or the gristle that we cut away from last night’s porterhouse, the problem of food waste is much more constant and evident among its primary producers: farmers and food-service people.

Sharon Burns-Leader is co-owner of Bread Alone, one of Woodstock’s great culinary success stories. For 35 years, she has seen every kind of baked good wind up in the company’s dumpsters.

It’s the same story everywhere food is served: restaurateurs, bakers, butchers, even farmers can’t precisely target how much food they’ll need to meet customer demand. The inevitable result is food waste. “We always have to overproduce to satisfy our customers,� Burns-Leader said, “especially since we don’t use preservatives or extenders.�

The Woodstock Farm Festival is kicking off its upcoming 10th season with Wasted at Woodstock, a scrumptious dinner with a twist - the dishes will be made with what chefs across the country are calling “rescued food� – perfectly tasty, fresh vegetables, fruits, grains and more that would otherwise have gone to waste, filling landfills and speeding climate change. Wasted in Woodstock organizers Eve Fox, Jesse Frederick and Sharon Burns-Leader are shown above. The sit-down dinner will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 19 at the Peterson House (a/k/a the Commune Saloon).

But folks such as BurnsLeader and other Woodstockers who wish to reduce food waste have recently found a way both to dramatize the problem and to make something different – even edible – about it: They’re calling it Wasted at Woodstock. It’s a meal that will kick off the Woodstock Farm Festival’s tenth season, a meal whose ingredients will be what food

Wasted in Woodstock promises instead to be a culinary and educational delight – an event that was initiated about two years ago by Dan Barber’s Greenwich Village restaurant, Blue Hill. For three weeks in March of 2015, The New York Times reported, Barber created a pop-up called wastED, “where he and his cooks sell fish bones, bruised and misshapen vegetables, stale bread and other items not commonly thought of as food for $15 a plate.� The experience, the Times said, presented a creative challenge

to the chefs and their customers alike. The same will hold true, with some variations, at Wasted at Woodstock.

Two chefs, Jesse Frederick, culinary manager at Bread Alone, and Josh Rajala, executive chef at the Bear CafĂŠ, will answer the challenge of creating inviting dishes from food that will be “rescuedâ€? from restaurants, distributors and grocers in the area, including Bread Alone, Woodstock Meats, Adams Fairacre Farms, Sunfrost, Sunflower and Joshua’s. The chefs will be freezing, fermenting and drying various ingredients that usually wind up being thrown away: scraps, ends and not-soperfect produce. You’ve heard of baby

TASTE

New Amsterdam

“W

hose dream is this?” I ask Howard Jacobs as we sit in the upstairs lounge of a 1798 Dutch Colonial townhouse on Mill Street in Rhinebeck. An empty fireplace at one end of the room is graced with a painting that depicts days of yore, with other pre-Revolutionary artifacts evoking the era when Livingston ancestors dwelt here. Another fireplace stands at the other end of the long room, and in between, a row of windows opens the view to the west and to the Beekman Arms, America’s oldest inn, across the street.

On the day of my recent visit, furnishings were just being brought in to indicate that this room, the Dutchess, would be a more private gathering area for diners to enjoy. Downstairs, the main dining room and barroom were still under construction; but, walking through, I could visualize happy eaters and drinkers at table; or out back on the bluestone patio area, playing bocce and having a beer in the twilight; or on the front porch at sunset with coffee and newspaper in hand.

The Amsterdam – its renovation now completed and open for business – is the area’s newest venture in sophisticated-but-friendly dining.

“My wife Chris and I fell in love with the Hudson Valley,” says Jacobs. “We realized that one day we wanted to live here full-time and pursue our little 25-year-old hospitality dream of a gathering place, a social place where the community can come together.

“About three years ago, this building became available. The building sort of spoke to us and said. ‘Maybe there’s something we can do that is different and special for this market. Something for the community of Rhinebeck.’ We thought if we were going to be Rhinebeck residents and live here full-time, we wanted to make a contribution and add to what was already an amazing village and area.”

Jacobs’ background was in the corporate arena. The hospitality industry is an entirely different game for him. “What I really always wanted to do was to be in the restaurant business. It’s its own wonderful puzzle, trying to align business interests with your passion. ‘This is our chance,’ we thought. We want it to be a bit less transactional – not like ‘You’ve got your 90 minutes; now you have to move on to let the next guest come in…’ Instead, we want people to mingle and linger. The backyard space will have traditional dining tables, and we’re really excited about people having the chance to come and sit in the backyard, enjoy the fresh air and be off the street in a little secret escape with great lighting.”

The name itself speaks to the simplicity and openness of Dutch hospitality. It’s a nod to the history of the Dutch forebears in the region. For Jacobs, a more recent memory provokes nostalgia as he explains, “My dad was in World War II; he was part of the liberation of Holland. They were invited back to Amsterdam in 1995 for the 50th anniversary [of the liberation]. Some great sense of history all came together and stuck with me. There’s something about that Dutch DNA – that simplicity and celebration of everyday life. It’s honest, straightforward. And to me, that’s what the Hudson Valley is like: It’s unpretentious. The Dutch DNA has informed our food, and I’m very happy to have Sara join us and build on our dream.”

Chef Sara Lukasiewicz, formerly of Red Devon fame in Bangall, New York, and of David Chang’s Momofuku Noodle Bar, will hold forth in the open kitchen with a menu of New American classics, reimagined to draw on relationships with

lettuce? Diners at the meal may find themselves enjoying what Burns-Leader called “ugly teenage greens”: veggies that weren’t harvested in their commercially desirable babyhood, but instead grew into their comparatively embittered teenagehood.

Wasted at Woodstock is part and parcel of the Farm Festival’s community-based DNA, Burns-Leader said. Of course there’ll be live music, provided by the Perry Beekman Trio. Weather permitting, there’ll be a plant identification walk in the woods behind the Bear complex, led by local arborist Vern Rist and forager and longtime Woodstock Film Festival committee member Rick Reilingh. Bring boots if you plan to attend the woods walk.

Food waste, Burns-Leader admits, is a huge problem. But the more people know about it and the more creatively they can deal with it, the better the chances of at least improving the situation.

The sit-down dinner will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 19 at the Peterson House (a/k/a the Commune Saloon). Tickets cost $85 and will benefit the Woodstock Farm Festival, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit. For additional information, visit www.woodstockfarmfestival.org/ wasted-at-woodstock.

local vendors and farm-to-table produce. A James Beard Award Rising Star Chef semifinalist, Lukasiewicz plans to elevate these humble, wholesome ingredients to starring-role level in such dishes as roasted veggie salads, confits, terrines, exciting chef ’s board samplings and many more innovative offerings. “We want to present honest and true food that comes from the Hudson Valley,” she explains, “using local ingredients and presenting them in interesting ways. Imagine the celebration of a carrot that has just been picked two days before from a local farm.

“It’s the food, but also about the approach we’re taking, from the front-of-house staff to the back-of-house staff. The general manager, Jeff Turok, is from Union Square Hospitality Group, so he’s bringing that experience with him. We’re focused on hospitality not only in how we treat our guests, but how we treat our staff members and everyone who walks through the door. It’s that Dutch celebrationof-life theme: Everyone is welcome here.”

We talk about how the Hudson Valley has been the breadbasket of New York, and how entrepreneurial efforts on the part of farmers are bringing back sustainable crops and foodstuffs. Jacobs says, “When Sara and I first met, we asked, ‘How do we define what’s in the marketplace, and what can we present? Is there a Hudson Valley cuisine?’ Sara is deeply committed to the farm-to-table concept. People throw that around like it’s a marketing term. What does that mean for us? Sara is on the farms, running around the sheep and pigs; that’s the source, what we want to deliver, what we’re passionate about. We’re trying to source everything we can locally. Honoring and respecting the ingredients and how they came to be – the farms and farmers and all the work that goes into their growth – it results in comfort food with remarkable flavor combinations. It’s the terroir coming to life, the land and everything that’s grown here.”

With a balance between meat and vegetarian selections, the Amsterdam’s locavore menu is deftly complemented with specially crafted cocktails made from fresh ingredients and local spirits. Turok, a certified sommelier, oversees a wine cellar stocked with bottles from New and Old World producers. Guests can circulate through the dynamic two-level space, which has been superbly appointed by veteran designer Siobhan Barry. Inspired by a 17th-century painting by Gabriel Metsu titled A Baker Blowing His Horn, Barry has achieved a blend of original architecture and vintage pieces with industrial elements, gleaming tiled walls and wood floors to make the entire building an environment of soothing comfort and effortlessness.

“The building is like the canvas,” says Jacobs. “We’ve worked hard to build a good team. Now we can bring some things forward and tell the story, and have people relax and be comfortable and be happy. The Amsterdam is a bit of a love letter for Rhinebeck and the Hudson Valley.” Be forewarned: You may not want to leave.

MUSIC All that jazz “Celebrating 100 Years of Jazz” this Saturday at Bard’s Fisher Center

W

ith an A-list roster of talent on call and a broadly philosophical and curatorial grasp of the traditions and revolutions of jazz, the partnership between Bard College and the Catskill Jazz Factory (CJF) has yielded an illuminating series of concerts at the Fisher Center over the last few years. In the spring and summer of 2017 – which is being identified as the Centennial of Jazz – Bard and CJF are holding nothing back. The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College and Catskill Jazz Factory present “Celebrating 100 Years of Jazz” on Saturday, May 13 at 8 p.m. in the Sosnoff Theater.

Trombonist Chris Washburne leads an international group of all-stars in a celebration of the roots and influences of jazz, from traditional folksongs to the music of pioneers such as Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith. The program features a pre-performance talk at 7 p.m., “Looking Back: The Global Roots of Jazz,” in which Washburne, bandleader and associate professor of Music at Columbia University, will deliver a talk on the origins, global roots and influences of the jazz genre.

Tickets cost $25 to $50. A gala benefit ticket is also available for $100, which includes a pre-performance reception with the artists; the proceeds support future Catskill Jazz Factory programs and community outreach initiatives.

Bard and CJF have simultaneously announced “Jazz through the Looking Glass”: a five-concert decade-themed series slated for SummerScape at the Spiegeltent. Tickets and additional information are available at http:// fishercenter.bard.edu or by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900. Bard College is located in Annandale-on-Hudson.

CONCERT

TODD RUNDGREN AT UPAC ON SATURDAY

H

it songwriter, art-rock bandleader, A-list producer and genuine technology visionary: Only Todd “Is God” Rundgren comfortably fits that description. The Wizard of Mink Hollow returns to his former home region for a concert with his band, on the occasion of a new record, on Saturday, May 13 at 8 p.m. at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston. Todd’s band for this date features Jesse Gress on guitar, Kasim Sulton on bass, Prairie Prince on drums, Greg Hawkes on keyboards and Ashle Worrick and Grace Yoo as singers and dancers. Rundgren’s new release, White Knights, comes out on May 12.

Ticket prices range from $45 to $70. All seats are reserved (Bardavon members get $5 off ). Tickets are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.

“Beethoven, Schubert and the Anxiety of Influence” this Saturday I am a passionate but largely unschooled and disorganized fan of classical music. When I listen to classical radio in the car, I like to guess at composers and eras, based on telltale evidence of period and style – usually tipped off in the domains of harmony, orchestration and expressive devices.

I ask: “When was this possible? Where

was this likely? And, finally, who?” I’ve gotten pretty good at it for a layman, as my various co-pilots will attest; but there is a ubiquitous wildcard in there by the name of Beethoven. It is boggling how often his work contains musical moves that weren’t really possible in his own time: futuro-anachronisms that flash forward 60 years, as far as late Brahms and even Impressionism. That man, I conclude, had a lot going on in his skull.

Borrowing a phrase from the great and prolific literary critic Harold Bloom, the Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Concerts & Conversations series presents musicologist Dr. Jeffrey Langford and pianist Joanne Polk in a lecture/ demonstration titled “Beethoven, Schubert and the Anxiety of Influence.”

The event takes place this Saturday, May 13 at 2 p.m. at the Piano Performance Museum, located in the Doctorow Center at 7970 Main Street in Hunter. Tickets cost $10 and $7 for students in advance, $12 and $7 at the door. For reservations and a wealth of additional information about the event and its renowned presenters Langford and Polk, visit www. catskillmtn.org.

Chuck Lamb at Senate Garage in Kingston The jazz keyboardist and composer Chuck Lamb spent a number of years in the mid-Hudson Valley, making the rounds with his imaginative and nationally known fusion band Dry Jack. Lamb’s brainy, intricate and elegant compositions split the difference between bop and prog. Long ago, Lamb relocated to Colorado and continued a career that has seen him performing with the Brubeck Brothers for 15 years. Dry Jack reunions have happened in this decade, but they have been Mountain State affairs.

Now, finally, Chuck Lamb returns to perform in the Hudson Valley. On Thursday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m., Jazzstock presents Chuck Lamb Acoustic Fusion at the Senate Garage at 4 North Front Street in Kingston. Supporting his 2016 release North by Northeast, Lamb will perform with drummer Evan DuChene, bassist Matt Vacanti and woodwind player Jeff Nania. Admission costs $15.

Chargaux performs at Storm King Art Center this Saturday

The Hudson Valley band Mister Roper began as a largely acoustic concern, channeling the spirit of peak-era Dylan and church spirituals in an easily portable duo format. But on its eponymous 2017 release, Mister Roper has reinvented itself as noisy, gritty roots/rock group with all kinds of weirdness under the stewardship of Professor Louie, the venerable bandleader and keyboardist with a direct connect to Levon and the Band.

The change is all-around energizing, and the duo of Rick Schneider (program director of WKZE) and Eric Squindo now tote a full band to capture the vibe.

EXPLO∏E writing teacher and computer lab director at SUNY-New Paltz, I learned that one group of students – upon discovering that I was from New Paltz, had gone K through 8 to the university’s Campus School, was the son of a SUNY professor who shared my name and had gotten my Masters in the very department in which I now taught in – had assigned me a nickname, and it had stuck: They called me “the Experiment.”

Now get this: New Paltz is a small, stupid town with a feverish internal history and a chronic crisis of self-importance.

If the national news doesn’t visit every few years for organic reasons, someone will do something to induce it. I am New Paltz and New Paltz is me; but there are many New Paltzes, and do not for a second suppose that mine is the authoritative New Paltz of record. Hardly. When I come upon my Huguenot classmates – the scions of the old NP business- and landowners presiding at long tables in P & G’s like f *cking Hapsburgs – their contempt is palpable and mine right back atcha, their denial of my New Paltz absolute and mine of theirs, too. Know your tour guide. I am the Experiment.

Downtown New Paltz

Native intelligence How to navigate New Paltz, from someone who never really left

W

hen I was a singledigit, striped-shirted, curly-headed kid playing the sportsball out on Prospect Street in New Paltz until the summer sun handed the day over to the village streetlights and the beaconing glow of primetime TV, I learned some cool facts from my older peers: that when a man kisses a woman, a bubble forms in the woman’s mouth and she swallows it and it becomes a baby in her belly; that Lew Alcindor had changed his name to Abdul Doob Jabber and that some folks weren’t thrilled about it; and that New York City was going to splinter off into its own state and New Paltz was going to – was going to have to – become the new New York City.

It made perfect sense to me, via I-forgetwhich Piagetian myopic centrism of

preadolescence. New York City was the Big Place with the Yankees and Death.

I had seen it a few times, but only a few. My father didn’t like it, or at least hated driving to it, hugging a one-road route that I now recognize as fabulously misguided, making me believe that it took two-and-a-half stress-saturated hours to get to places in Manhattan that I now make in a buck-20 in light traffic.

New York was the real world, and probably not for me; New Paltz was my Macondo. Made more of imagination than of pressing reality, more ether than carbon, it was the undisputed secondmost-important place. And while I am a man with a complex, vacillative ego, I’ve always solidly known the highest that I could rise, the best that I could hope for: second-best, vice-best. A noble goal, all thanks be to New Paltz.

The Doctor Will See You. Now. Urgent Medical Care, Adults and Children Family Practice

What are the offices and burdens of the man who stays home? Well, you are likely tasked with shepherding your parents on their journey: a terrible honor and more meaning and truth than anyone should want from life. Also, you are the vessel and archivist of other people’s memories.

It is part of your function. The landscape virtually screams your self back at you as you move through your days, your story encoded in its contours and textures: a mossy stone wall, graffiti carved on a seesaw, a bend in a north-flowing river, the secret history of five benches and three girls. For this burden, you are rewarded with some Faulkner-mind (or García Marquez); a view of history and the long streams that make a self; a knowledge that can only come from the obsessive micro; a whole family of truth casually declined by those who move away because it is “what you do” in “these modern times.”

When they come to visit their elders, these half-rootless leavers will perceive you as something quaint and anachronistic: an Old World eccentric, a small wit drilling a deep and narrow and completely useless hole, lacking the broad imagination and efficacious daring of American dreams and bigger holes. I don’t disagree.

Years after my first, longest stint as a

My mother must have taken me up to the Mohonk Mountain House once when I was four or younger. I didn’t go back with any regularity until I began working there at the age of 16.

Its gardens, trails, ponds, white stone and hewn-log gazebos immediately became a place that I visit happily in dreams, a deep image both of peace and of endless interest and discovery: the paths that just go and go. Note that this is not exactly about the wonder of nature, for if it were, I would have said the Shawangunks, not Mohonk. Mohonk is about nature with the first assays of human civilization and art laid in: groomed nature, gently shaped, the first cut of the awakened spirit, the same attraction held by the Shire or the visions of Lewis Carroll.

2. Apples Look, Red Delicious just sucks. We all know that now. When I lived for nearly five years in the Moriello orchards, we had Golden Delicious on one side, Granny Smith on another and a huge block of Red Delicious behind the house (the front yard was a pumpkin patch). Even at the height of ripeness, on the very day of peak flavor and in a perfect growing season, Red Delicious sucks. Be thankful for the modern era of Honeycrisp and Pink Ladies. I am thankful to live in apple country, with several orchards right outside the village and a score more in the area. Apple culture is weird like Halloween.

civil engineering methodologies with a shamanistic sensitivity to the meridia of community life and the manifest intentions of nature, diagnosed us as misaligned. Plattekill through North Front, from the college to Pegasus, should have been the main street, the commercial spine descending from the orchard heights to the north-flowing river. The dullard Hugies misread the lay of the land, and we are left with a village with an elliptical warp and wobble, at war with its own essential nature. Thus the furor, the night crazies, the sense of skewed, nonvolitional enchantment that very few villages of this size can generate. Ninety-nine of my 100 weirdest memories involve Main Street after midnight, and I don’t remember the other one. I am surprised how far and wide this little village is known, and always for the same damn thing: nightmare benders.

The Fifth Avatar.

4. The Rail Trail You call it a thing after the thing is gone, leaving just its name. The Rail Trail only became so known after the rails were dug out, the brambles cleared, the gravel raked, the budget approved, the pedestrians following apace. I am old enough to remember the trains whistling through New Paltz. They stopped, and the tracks overgrew with tall grasses and scrub: an unpleasant place to explore and no trail at all. I bought my first nickel bag out on the overgrown grassy tracks just south of the current Water Street Market, from an older classmate who died a few weeks ago and who, I had learned, had gone on to become a dear, caring and widely beloved man who found his grace through a difficult life. Rest in peace, my friend.

It was my first score – not a bag, but a film canister, actually: inert dirt compared to this designer bud that the kids enjoy today; honestly, I am surprised that we could coax a single larf out of that sh*t. I took it home in my winter jacket pocket, high, and circled nervously about my house trying to decide where to put it. I hung up the jacket carefully in the back of my bedroom closet and closed the closet and bedroom doors: a siren call to my mother, for normally I would have thrown

the jacket anywhere on the floor. Moments later, as I was eating a sleeve of Saltines and watching TV from a broken recliner, my mother came downstairs, screaming, “Johnny, is this drugs?”

Oh, small-town symmetries: I was 14 when my parents caught me smoking pot in New Paltz, and then, when my own son was 14, he caught me smoking pot in New Paltz.

So, yeah: the rail trail.

5. IBM Seriously, f*ck IBM. It was never in New Paltz, of course; but it is impossible to overstate its influence on life here. The Beemers were everywhere, 30,000 of them or so, and then quite suddenly they were gone, leaving a few toxic campuses and an economic void that has never been filled. When you wonder why this is a great place but with nothing to do for money, or why we can’t seem to get a music scene up and running despite incredible resources of talent, or anything having to do with the mysteries and paradoxes of MHV culture, don’t forget about IBM. It’s like the missing piece in a Hemingway story. You don’t know it is missing, but it informs everything.

6. The Normal School By which I mean SUNY-New Paltz, which began as a teachers’ college, which used to be known as a Normal School. Could there be a more ironic name? Now rated as one of the more competitive state schools in the country, once mocked and mythologized as a national capital of hedonism, the Normal School has been a pivotal place in several chapters of my life, and the only reason my family came here to begin with. I have learned that I might have been raised in Princeton, New Jersey instead (woulda eaten me alive), or that we might have stayed in Syracuse (nooooo!), and that there was a chance that we were going to move to New Zealand (imagine that me if you can). But the Normal School gave my dad a nice job offer at the very outset of Rockefeller’s huge investment in the system, and we came.

And I stayed. Thanks, Normal School – I guess.

7. All the Generations of SUNY Graduates Who Stayed or Returned and Built Lives and Families Here, Leading to a Wealth of Culture and Creativity and Community Consciousness that We Otherwise Never Would Have Known Thank You. In New Paltz, you’ll hear people cite a Native American legend that may or may not be historically accurate: Spend three nights by a north-flowing river and you are destined/doomed always to return to the spot. It is not for everyone, here, but the ones who know it know it well.

10. The Little Red House of Gifts Was it even called that? Was it in fact located at present-day Murphy’s on Main Street, just above the Elting Library? Did it exist it all, this small, cloistered and multi-tiered gift store that was to interior space what Mohonk was to the outdoors: a concentrated complexity and micro-universe, all potpourri and things that I would never buy, yet somehow bottomless in its dimensions and dusty corners for discovery, a tiny vortex of pointless fascination like this stupid little halfreal village itself ?

– John Burdick

8. There is no 8.

9. OK, Huguenot Street Oldest street in America with its original structures intact, they say, and a beautiful place for community ritual, architectural/cultural study and things to do with out-of-town visitors. Granted, Europeans piss in pots that are five times as old, and the good people of Istanbul can’t dig a hole for a mailbox post without unearthing a historical treasure and engaging international interest; but okay, Huguenot Street.

NATURE Catskill Center hosts “Lithic Alignments in the Northeast” talk For some people, history becomes more fascinating the farther back in time we delve and the less that we actually know. There’s something intoxicating about the mysterious doings of ancient peoples, documented only in the most durable objects that they left behind them – like the megaliths that mark sacred sites, burial places or perhaps astronomical observatories all across Europe.

The Americas have such sites as well, though they’re not as thoroughly documented or studied. Yes, even here in the Northeast: Not all those weathered stonepiles dotting our landscape are Colonial-era boundary markers, root cellars or livestock enclosures. Some appear to be much, much older. Who built them? Neolithic ancestors of the area’s indigenous tribes? Pre-Columbian explorers from some other shore? Vikings, the deposed Welsh Prince Madoc, St. Brendan’s crew of Irish monks?

Seafarers from Central or South America?

Phoenicians or Egyptians in unsinkable reed boats? Why were their building sites chosen, and what were they used for?

It all seems terribly romantic and faraway, but some people have been taking a proper scientific approach, measuring the alignments of these stone remains with the night sky at different times of year and correlating them with other artifacts found nearby. Archaeoastronomy, electromagnetics, archaeoacoustics and the alignment patterns of lithic structures in our region are the fields of study of Woodstocker Glenn Kreisberg, chair of the Overlook Mountain Center and former vice president of the New England

With maps, photos and graphics, Kreisberg will explore the idea: Was observational astronomy practiced by ancient native populations in Northeast America, with observations preserved in manmade and natural landscape features?

“Lithic Alignments in the Northeast: Natural, Native or Nonsense?” will be presented from 1 to 3 p.m. on May 14 at the CIC, which is located at 5096 Route 28 in Mount Tremper.

Hudson Valley HorsePlay this Saturday in Kerhonkson “Hudson Valley HorsePlay provides on-the-ground activities with horses for experiential learning, growth and professional development, as well as for psychotherapy,” explains Cori Nichols, therapist with the organization. “Under the umbrella of these modalities, all activities take place on the ground. There is no riding. This is not equine hippotherapy. Instead, we construct activities to meet the needs of our clients, whether for social or emotional skills, or the challenges of a mental health disorder: anxiety, depression, sex abuse disorder, trauma, PTSD or the like, from one end of the spectrum to the other.”

In conjunction with the Rondout Valley Holistic Health Community (RVHHC), HorsePlay will conduct an afternoon of activities exploring the horse/human connection in which growth and healing opportunities might occur. The interactive model is appropriate for individuals from 8 years of age to 100, and no previous experience with horses is necessary. They don’t need to know anything about horses.

People won’t have to touch horses, and no actual riding is involved in the activities.

“Participants may be loose in an arena with a bunch of miniature ponies, for example. For this particular event with RVHHC, they might practice herd observations, wherein participants observe and discover what they see about ‘patience,’ for example. What represents patience among the horses? What do they do that looks like patience? We prompt our participants to formulate the metaphors to realize these goals in their

Bellefield’s Beatrix Farrand Garden

A

center of calm and beauty near the epicenter of the turbulent swirl of 20th-century history captured by the FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt historic sites is Bellefield, an elegant 18th-century house remodeled by famed architects McKim, Mead and White for Thomas and Sarah Newbold. It now serves as the regional headquarters for the National Park Service’s properties in Hyde Park.

But it’s Bellefield’s garden that makes the site truly special. A shrine for devotees of horticulture, it’s the earliest surviving private garden created by one of America’s most celebrated and influential landscape designers, Beatrix Farrand (1872-1959).

Farrand joined the likes of England’s Gertrude Jekyll and William Robinson in championing the use of perennial plants in combinations based upon color harmony, bloom sequence and texture. This was the birth of the mixed border that is standard in gardens today. Farrand combined this horticultural expertise, honed through study at Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum, with a keen eye for detail, a near-perfect sense of proportion and a broad foundation in the fine arts and design history.

While most of her gardens have been lost to time, notable exceptions include the Rockefellers’ Eyrie Garden in Maine, large portions of the Princeton and Yale campuses and Dumbarton Oaks, in Washington, DC: indisputably one of the great gardens of the world. That puts Bellefield in rarefied company, making the Beatrix Farrand Garden a rewarding destination for an outing on any fine spring or summer’s day in the Hudson Valley.

A lesser-known aspect of Farrand’s career was her commitment, in collaboration with John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to the preservation of Maine’s Mount Desert Island as Acadia National Park and the design of its trail system. “Farrand’s National Park Legacy” will be the topic of a lecture by landscape architect Roxanne S. Brouse on Sunday, June 4 at 2 p.m. at the Henry A. Wallace Visitor Center at the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site. Brouse is the author of “The Public-Spirited Beatrix Farrand of Mount Desert Island,” a monograph recently published by the Beatrix Farrand Society.

Admission to this event, the 11th annual Bellefield Design Lecture, costs $35 for members and $45 for non-members. To find out more about this and other upcoming events at Bellefield, visit www.beatrixfarrandgardenhydepark.org.

“On Saturday, groups will move through the series of stations set up within an hour’s time to observe and identify a character trait, such as leadership. The idea is that we keep reflecting back on

the horses’ behavior and the observations about particular traits. Most people report that in observing the nuances of nonverbal communication [horses are nonverbal, and are very attuned to their environment, acutely aware of their herd members, transactions and behaviors and body language of people on the ground], they learn to practice self-regulation in

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

The turning of the year It’s time to ip compost piles built from last summer’s harvests

S

ure, there’s seed-sowing, weeding and pruning to do, but I’ve also been spending a good amount of time communing with my pitchfork – turning compost.

Some people are put off by the thought of having to turn compost. Don’t be; compost does not have to be turned. Any pile of organic materials will eventually become compost.

Still, I like to turn my composts. I typically build new piles (a lot of them!) through summer into fall, turn them the following spring and then spread the finished compost that fall or the following spring. As I fork the ingredients from the old pile into the adjacent bin, I break up any clumps with the pitchfork and fluff up any parts that seem sodden and gasping for air. A nearby hose makes it convenient to spray any dry areas.

Everything organic (was once, or is, living) – hay, weeds, old plants, some horse manure, old cotton clothes, vegetable trimmings – goes into my compost, and that includes, unavoidably, weed seeds. Turning my compost pile exposes weed seeds buried within the pile to light, which prompts them to germinate – only to be snuffed out as they are again buried in the turned pile.

I take note of the progress of the decomposition, generally tossing any less-decomposed pitchforkfuls towards the more active center of the turned pile. I also “take note� very literally, writing down a rough estimate of how far along the compost has progressed.

If it’s, say, 80 percent finished, it should be ready for use, if needed, within a month or so. If 60 percent finished, it’ll have to keep cooking until fall.

I like to watch the results of the bacteria, fungi and other compost pets nurtured within the piles. And turning them is good exercise.

I like to watch the results of the bacteria, fungi and other compost pets nurtured within the piles. And turning them is good exercise.

Over the years, my compost bins have gone through many incarnations as I, each time, came up with what I thought was the ultimate design for the bin itself.

The present design has retained that status for a number of years now.

The present bin is made of notched boards, 24 per pile, each about one inch thick by six inches wide by four feet long. The boards stack up to make a cube, Lincoln Log-style.

For a thorough enclosure, two boards ripped to half their width make up two sides of the bottom of the bin. The advantage of the notched boards is that all four sides are enclosed and the compost bin can be built higher and higher, as needed, as material is added – and lowered, in steps, as finished compost is being removed for spreading, or half-finished compost is being removed for turning into an expanding adjacent bin.

My original “ultimate design� bins were made from wood, which needed replacement every eight to ten years. Present bins are made from artificial wood decking, which should hold up forever.

While not a necessity for making compost, a bin does keep everything neat and tidy,

their own behaviors.�

When asked about the effects and benefits for participants in this sort of therapy, Nichols describes a leadership program being developed for at-risk youths. “What happens is: When people are engaged in an activity with the horses, because the horses are so authentic with their responses, the participants readily recognize which behaviors are affective and which create a dividing line between the objective and the results. Participants are naturally led towards the obvious outcomes of their behaviors. For example, if their behavior is too aggressive, the horse will move away. Or it will respond like-mindedly to gentle behavior. “It feeds into a person’s awareness of their behaviors and the results of their actions. Horses perceive personal energy of congruence or incongruence. Because they’re prey animals, they are keenly aware of predators. So, if a participant has a predatory approach toward friendship, the horse will respond in a particular way.

If it can have the opportunity to build a relationship, that’s a different story. Or if, for example, someone is afraid, the

horse responds in a like manner. Horses by nature seek leadership and feel most comfortable around others who exhibit traits of leadership, and will move away from stress or distress – quietly, or they may run. They’re very authentic, have no hidden agenda, no attachment to human beings, no reason to try to earn us. They tell it like it is.�

HorsePlay is a safe place to explore changes and new approaches to listening, communicating and problem-solving.

keeps scavenging animals and windblown weed seeds at bay and retains heat and moisture for quicker and more thorough composting. As I wrote a few paragraphs earlier, “Any pile of organic materials will eventually become compost.�

Speaking about good design: With so many transplants to water, any method of automatic watering is a godsend. Right now, a couple of hundred of my seedlings are growing in individual plastic cells sitting on capillary mats. As soil dries out in the cells, it sucks up water from the capillary mat, which in turn draws water from the reservoir below it. This, the APS system, works very well.

And now an even-better design has come down the pike: one made out of terra cotta that, unless dropped, is sure to outlast plastic systems. Cells for a tray of Orta Seed Pots are all housed together in an attached reservoir. One advantage of this design is that cells absorb water throughout their terra cotta walls. Another advantage is that each cell has a drainage hole, so periodic top-watering can leach out excess minerals that can build up in pots watered from below.

The only downside to Orta Seed Pots is that they are expensive. Then again, they can potentially last forever, and they grow very good plants. The design is so elegant and effective (as borne out by some seedlings that I raised in Ortas) that I’m going to help shamelessly in their promotion with a link, www.ortakitchengarden.com/factory-secondssale, to discounted factory seconds, which work perfectly but have cosmetic flaws – or, till the end of May, discounted firsts: www.ortakitchengarden.com, with discount code ORTAMAY. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

Reaching Out, Holding On, 24x24", 2016

by Beacon artist Carl Grauer

J

onesing for an injection of the lively arts into your life after a long rainy bout of cabin fever? This weekend, the City of Beacon is the place to be: It’s offering a quadruple threat of opportunities to get your art fix.

First off, May 13 is Second Saturday in Beacon, a monthly community event in which businesses stay open late, and local art galleries, restaurants and bars host openings, tastings and music performances. And this month it coincides with the annual Beacon Open Studios

OPENING

Storm King Art Center to feature Smith’s rescued “White Sculptures”

F

ollowing the 1965 death in an automobile accident of Abstract Expressionist sculptor David Smith, one of the executors of his estate, Clement Greenberg, had the white paint stripped from five of Smith’s monumental steel works. The news came out about a decade later and caused a furor in the art world. A critic who pooh-poohed the entire movement toward polychrome sculpture, of which Smith was one of the major innovators, Greenberg’s rationale for his audacity was that Smith’s painted three-dimensional works were failed experiments, and that the sculptor had intended to paint over the “incomplete” white surfaces with another color anyway.

Happily, cooler and less-opinionated heads prevailed, and the artworks were eventually restored as closely as possible to their original state. This year’s flagship exhibition at the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, titled “David Smith: The White Sculptures,” brings all five together for public view for the first time. It’s a fitting way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Storm King’s 1967 acquisition of 13 Smith works for public display directly in the landscape: an event that essentially diverted the art institution from its original mission to collect Hudson River School paintings into a path toward becoming the world-class site for viewing large-scale modern sculpture in the open air that it is today.

The exhibition will also feature a selection of Smith’s earliest constructions, created out of white coral gathered by the artist during his stay in the Virgin Islands in 1931/32 and rarely shown since. Smaller sculptures as well as paintings, drawings and photographs that further explore the artist’s use of white will be displayed inside Storm King’s Museum Building. The show opens this Saturday, May 13 and will remain on view through November 12.

Also opening this weekend is the next offering in Storm King’s “Outlooks” series of site-specific commissioned works by emerging or mid-career artists. Titled The Oracle of Lacuna, it’s the latest in Heather Hart’s interactive, usually crowdfunded “Rooftop Oracles” series, in which viewers are invited to crawl over and inside what appear to be the severed roofs of houses, life-sized. Her multimedia works incorporate elements of oral history, mythology, immigrant narratives, ritual spaces and the concept of liminality: of being poised on the threshold between changing states of reality (or of transcending reality).

A variety of performances, discussions and other events involving local schools, community and arts organizations will happen on and around the rooftop this summer. One of them will be an iteration of the Black Lunch Table project, of which Hart and her collaborator Jina Valentine were co-founders. These discussions bring together local artists of the African Diaspora to help create an archive and online database intended to address the exclusion of people of color from the written records of art history. Black Lunch Table events often end with a Wikipedia “editathon,” similar to the one aimed at restoring the history of female artists that Women’s Studio Workshop organized in Kingston in 2014.

So, if you’re looking for something new and stimulating to do outdoors as warmer weather arrives in the Hudson Valley, remember that the Storm King Arts Center always has a lot to offer. You can even rent a bike there to tool around the sprawling grounds, if you wish. For museum hours, fees, driving directions and other information, visit http://stormking.org or call (845) 534-3115.

ELEKTRA BUHALIS SHOW OPENS IN HIGH FALLS

A

lthough she makes her living as a union painter creating large-scale scenic backdrops for Broadway shows and the American Ballet Theatre, “articulture� is the word that Woodstock-born, High Falls-based artist Elektra Buhalis has coined for what she likes to do best. A visual hybrid of early American primitive painting and contemporary subject matter, it manifests in such real-world shapes as her micro-permaculture garden, where she keeps bees and small livestock, as well as on canvas. Visitors to High Falls get a glimpse of her centuries-spanning vision as soon as they drive into town on Route 213, passing the sign that she painted in 2012 to commemorate the barges that once passed through town along the Delaware & Hudson Canal.

A solo show of her work, “Elektra Buhalis: Articulture,� opens this Saturday, May 13 at the Wired Gallery with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibition runs through June 4, and the Gallery, located a 11 Mohonk Road in High Falls, is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Teen Coloring BookMaking Crafternoon in Kingston Wishing for more gender-fluid, feminist and queer visibility in media?

Here’s a terrific way to get started: the LGBTQ Teen Coloring Book-Making Crafternoon with artist and author Jacinta Bunnell! I just think that everyone should go and hang with Jacinta; but, to expand on what’s happening at her event, this is instruction to create your own old-school print-media influence. You’re changing images that are out there to fit your vision of the world. You are making your own coloring book – just like Jacinta does.

The Hudson Valley Queer Youth Project for Big Queer Coloring BookMaking takes place this Saturday, May 13 at 1 p.m. at the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center at 300 Wall Street in Kingston. There’s a $5 suggested donation, and this event is geared for young people ages 12 to 18 years. For more information, visit https://vspotz. com/event/128514377698115 or http:// lgbtqcenter.org.

Walkway Loop Trail map: your handy guide to a gazillion outings Who knew that a rusty, ugly old iron industrial structure could become such a Mecca? Well, some visionary folks seem to have known from the getgo: the many volunteer preservationists who worked for years on what seemed like a hopeless cause â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to restore the former Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge to the glory of the days at the end of the 19th century when it was a symbol of â&#x20AC;&#x153;modernâ&#x20AC;? progress and prosperity.

Since it reopened to the public in October 2009, millions of visitors have flocked to what is now Walkway over the Hudson State Park. Public officials and Chambers of Commerce throughout the region are just tickled about the Walkwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a destination in itself; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a connection, the hub to a much broader network of rail trails that should, in just a few more years, make it possible to hike or bicycle from the Taconics to the Catskills. Each building season, it seems, another missing link snaps into place.

As this complex pattern of recreational opportunities takes ever-more-concrete form, it has become possible to start mapping it with some degree of confidence that the map will still be useful next year at this time.

May 11, 2017 Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, has undertaken that task and now makes maps of the Walkway and adjoining trails and attractions available for download on its website. Sidebars provide information about eateries, watering holes, historic sites and other intriguing places where you can stop in along the way – not to mention new directions in which your Walkwaycentric wanderings can take you.

It’s an elaborate work-in-progress, of course, that will eventually cover hundreds of miles of the Hudson Valley and beyond.

Start on the Ulster or the Dutchess County side, no matter; cross the Mid-Hudson Bridge in one direction and the Walkway in another, for variety. Take a detour to climb Kaal Rock or see the ruins in Franny Reese State Park or the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum or the cool old houses along Oakes Road or the WPA murals in the Poughkeepsie Post Office.

Check out https://walkway.org or www. scenichudson.org/sites/default/files/looptrail-map.jpg and start planning your next expedition.

Walkway side trip: Little Italy Transportation and communication are what railroad bridges were always all about, of course; it’s just that we’re beginning to appreciate them anew in the post-rail era, as we repurpose them for non-motorized outdoor activities. But such structures don’t exist in a historical vacuum.

Somebody worked very long hours in insanely dangerous conditions to build them. Somebody got the bends laying concrete on the river bottom for the footings. Somebody else smashed their hand with a heavy iron mallet, or burned it with a blowtorch or a redhot rivet. It wouldn’t be all that surprising if somebody fell to their death into the river. For their sacrifices, we owe it to those nameless navvies to honor the folks who came to the mid-Hudson in the 1870s and 1880s to build the bridge – and to create a community in its shadow.

Most of those immigrant railroad workers came from Italy, and the Poughkeepsie neighborhood roughly bounded by Verrazano Boulevard, Mill Street and Mount Carmel Place is still known colloquially as Little Italy – or, more formally, as the Mount Carmel District, after the Roman Catholic Church near Route 9 that long served as the center of local spiritual and social life. At the western end of Mill Street stands the Pelton Mansion, which housed the first daycare center for immigrant children; a few blocks further east, across from City Hall, you can find the Italian Center, whose oldest structure dates back to 1857 and whose “new” (1960s) wing is the neighborhood’s go-to place for catered community events.

But most non-resident folks who venture into this triangle of transplanted Old World culture do so for the amazingly authentic Italian food. Rosticceria Rossi & Sons, at 45 South Clover Street, serves deli food that has become a local legend, much of it imported from the Old Country. They make their own fresh mozzarella and ricotta, and it’s the place to go at lunchtime when you’re craving an Italian Combo hero.

Then there are the bakeries. La Deliziosa Italian Pastry Shoppe is the source of choice when you want cannoli and other frothy, decadent Italian sweets to sell at your San Gennaro festival.

And Caffè Aurora serves up awesome semolina breads, almond cookies, rich pastries, espresso and cappuccino. The entire compact neighborhood being only a brisk stroll away from the Poughkeepsie train station, you can easily rationalize your caloric intake by walking it off in the course of a sunny afternoon. To find out more, check out the info online at https:// walkway.org/little-italy1.

Cyber-bullying is often done anonymously.

Cyber-bullying follows its victims everywhere they go and can occur at any time of the day or night because cyber-bullying is perpetrated online or through text or picture messages on cellular phones and other hand-held devices.

Technology has allowed this emotional violence

7pm TRAVIS – The True Story of Travis Walton

to attack our children at any time whether at school or at home. Often times these attacks can originate outside the jurisdiction of the school and/or may be beyond a school’s resources.

The Ulster County Legislature recognizes that bullying among children has been a long standing problem throughout the country.

This Legislature hereby finds that with the advent of technology, bullying has transformed from a predominantly school-based issue into a broader societal problem.

This Legislature hereby finds that victims of cyber-bullying suffer very real and serious harm as a result of these incidents. Victims of cyberbullying often suffer from depression, anxiety, social isolation, nervousness when interacting with technology, and low self-esteem all of which can directly affect the child’s performance in and out of school. In some cases, victims attempt to commit suicide or commit suicide in whole or in part because of the cyber-bullying they have endured.

The Ulster County Legislature finds that cyber-bullying is occurring in Ulster County.

Therefore, the County must take affirmative action to protect the children of Ulster County from unwanted harassment, threats, abuse, intimidation, and harm to themselves, their reputation, and their relationships with friends, family members, peers, teachers, principals and employers.

To stop cyber-bullying and provide for the protection, safety, well-being, and healthy development of the children of Ulster County, the Legislature determines that it is necessary to proscribe certain expressions of speech by technological means through the enactment of a narrowly tailored local law that prohibits the cyber-bullying of persons under the age of eighteen (18) who are in Ulster County.

Municipal Home Rule Law §10 (12) allows a County to enact a local law for the protection, safety, health, and well-being of a County’s residents.

This Legislature hereby finds that the County of Ulster has an interest in providing options to law enforcement which serve to rehabilitate juveniles who have engage in cyber-bullying.

These options should include diversion services and community services. These services can assess why the juvenile is committing such acts and divert him or her from committing similar acts in the future while considering the best interest of said juvenile.

The purpose of this local law is to curtail or eliminate cyber-bullying of children in Ulster County and to promote civility during internet usage.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. As used in this law: a. “Electronic transmission” or “electronically transmits” means the transmission, dissemination, or posting of information via the use of a computer online service, internet service provider, smart phone, tablet, wireless

. One of the most significant UFO events in history— the 1975 UFO abduction of Travis Walton— comes to life in TRAVIS, a new documentary film, about one man’s five-day absence after a mysterious beam of light strikes him unconscious igniting an international firestorm of controversy.

Travis Walton’s story was fictionalized in Paramount Pictures’ 1993 theatrical release of “Fire in the Sky.” Executive director/producer Jennifer W. Stein insists the true account was begging to be told. In conjunction with the ‘7th Annual Pine Bush UFO Fair’ weekend. Tickets for the film will be available at the door.

Lovely Cat Sisters for Adoption! Maybelle and Tommi are 4-year old orange cat sisters. They’ve been spayed, up to date w/shots, FIV/LeuKV negative and are litter pan trained. Maybelle is a friendly gal w/a big purr. Tommi is a shyer gal who’ll need a more patient caregiver. Until they were rescued from a hoarding situation, they didn’t know how lovely life could be.

Now, they’re in a safe, caring and beautiful foster home. They’ve been together their whole lives. We’re looking for one home for both or two separate homes that will give each love and care for the rest of their lives. If you’d like to learn more about these beautiful souls, please text or call (917)282-2018 or email DRJLPK@ aol.com
