The Country Living Fair returns to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds this weekend, June 2 through 4. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell of The Fabulous Beekman Boys will be back for another cooking demo, and you’ll be able to meet the editors of Country Living magazine, learn how to make soap, hardscape your garden with natural stone and repurpose all sorts of odds and ends into craft projects to fine-tune your feng shui at home. Special guests and presenters this year will also include Ann Marie Craig, Charlyne Mattox, Corinne Trang, Denise Sabia, Jan Johnsen, Jana Platina Phipps, Jennifer Paganelli, Joanne Palmisano, Mary Randolph Carter, Melissa Caughey, Nora Murphy and Silvia Baldini. More than 200 vendors from 25 states, including antiques sellers, food purveyors, artists, furnituremakers, crafters and more will be on hand. New for the 2017 Country Living Fairs are curated, hands-on Make-and-Take Workshops, sponsored by JOANN Stores. To view the array of workshops available and pre-register to attend one, visit www. stellashows.com. The Fairgrounds will be open to the public between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 2, 3 and 4. Gates open for Early Bird ticket holders at 8:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday. One-day admission costs $13 in advance and $16 at the door; three-day weekend passes are available for $15 in advance and $20 at the door; an Early Bird three-day weekend pass costs $40.

New York Times theater critic Frank Rich called Michael Frayn’s 1982 farce Noises Off “the funniest play written in my lifetime.” A play-within-a-play about an increasingly dysfunctional theatrical troupe, viewed from backstage, it’s the apotheosis of the door-slammer comedy genre. It’s hard to think of a better way to lift one’s spirits right about now than to attend the production opening this weekend at Ellenville’s Shadowland Stages. Comedies will dominate Shadowland’s 2017 summer lineup, as teacher/ playwright/arts administrator Bradley Diuguid – a Monticello native and product of SUNY-New Paltz’s Theatre Arts program – steps into the role of executive managing director that was vacated by the sudden death last year of Jon Wojciechowski. The season will continue with Gino Dilorio’s The Jag, Larry Shue’s The Foreigner, Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair’s Murder for Two, David Lindsay-Abaire’s Ripcord and Ayad Akhtar’s Disgraced. Noises Off opens with an 8 p.m. show this Friday, June 2, followed by a postshow party at Gaby’s Café. It will then run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. ($39) and Sundays at 2 p.m. ($34) through May 25, plus a special First Saturdays matinée on June 3 at the discounted ticket price of $29. To reserve your seat or obtain more information, call the box office at (845) 647-5511 or visit www.shadowlandtheatre.org. Shadowland is located at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville.

In 2011, Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist José Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in an essay published in The New York Times Magazine. The autobiographical documentary film directed by Vargas, Documented, chronicles his journey to America from the Philippines as a child; his journey through America as an immigration reform activist; and his journey inward as he reconnects with his mother, whom he hasn’t seen in person in more than 20 years. As part of the Engage series, Upstate Films in Rhinebeck presents a free screening of Documented on Saturday, June 3 at 10 a.m. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion anchored by representatives of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement, Ulster Immigrant Defense Network, Rural Migrant Ministry and Catholic Charities. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck. For more information, visit http:// upstatefilms.org/specials.

picked out for the fourth Outdoor Sculpture Biennial Exhibition, set to open this Saturday on the grounds of her longtime home, the Wilderstein Historic Site? How about Calvert Vaux, who designed the estate’s landscaping? Reflecting the curator’s Puckish sense of visual humor, the examples depicted in the new show’s promotional materials are big, bright and brash, decidedly modern and playful – unstuffy for sure. “Found industrial detritus, a bicycle-wrapped tree, recycled signage, coal, a self-propelled bench, a faux historic bronze marker and even a patch of growing mushrooms” are among the media being deployed here, we are forewarned. Eighteen works by Michael Asbill, Carl Grieco, Alex Kveton, Jodi Carlson, Michael Ciccone, Joe Chirchirillo, David Nyzio, Peter Schlemowitz, Naomi Teppich, Tom Holmes, Jeff Johnson, Bernard Klevickas, Norm Magnusson, Shelley Parriott, Herman Roggeson, Suprina and Mimi Czajka Graminski will go on view this Saturday and stay up until October 31. Visiting hours occur daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Wilderstein, which is located at 330 Morton Road, 2.2 miles southwest of downtown Rhinebeck. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 3. Tickets cost $25 and may be reserved by calling (845) 876-4818. Palaia will personally lead curator’s tours of the exhibition beginning at 1 p.m. on Sundays, August 6, September 10 and October 8. For more information, visit www.wilderstein.org.

Learn about the lives of slaves at New Paltz Historical Society presentation

Gardiner Art Crawl this weekend

On Wednesday, June 7, New Paltz town historian Susan Stessin-Cohn will present excerpts from In Defiance, Runaways from Slavery in New York’s Hudson River Valley, a book she co-wrote with Ashley Hurlburt Biagini. This 7 p.m. New Paltz Historical Society talk at the Community Center will also include a discussion on the institution of slavery in the

ur bucolic region is full of lovely little communities where visual artists who market their wares in New York City galleries can find some peace, keep a low profile and get their creative work done. And sooner or later, in each of these artistic beehives, someone gets the idea of organizing a studio tour to bolster arts-related tourism income for their town or village. One of the more recent recruits to this trend is Gardiner in southern Ulster County, whose knockout panoramas of the east-facing escarpment of the Shawangunk Ridge can scarcely fail to inspire the making of art. The annual Gardiner Open Studio Tour (GOST) has been around for a few years now, and its organizers have hooked up with the Gardiner Association of Businesses and Sunflower Art Studios to host a two-day event on Saturday and Sunday, June 3 and 4 promoting the local arts scene, called the Gardiner Art Crawl. Liz Glover Wilson, creator of the Sunflower Art Festival, calls the Gardiner Art Crawl “an orchestrated collaboration” that “gives visitors two days of art, music and food events, providing a diverse sampling of the creative options in our town.” The self-guided tour begins at Glover’s Sunflower Art Studios at 2694 Route 44/55, where a new 3,800-square-foot art, yoga, wellness and retreat center will hold its grand opening celebration beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday with an art show, gift shop, live music, food and kid-friendly art activities. There, or at the D. M. Weill Art Gallery at 208 Bruynswick Road, you can pick up the map for the Gardiner Open Studio Tour and head out to visit artists using many different media in their own workspaces. The studios will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Also on Saturday, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., a Craft Market Walk in the Gardiner hamlet will highlight local vendors. A onemile array of booths will stretch from the Gardiner Library to the Farmers’ Market Grounds, across the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and on to the Yard Owl Craft Brewery. Enjoy handmade jewelry, vintage furniture, all-natural skincare, herbal remedies, farmhouse pottery, upcycled clothing, small-batch spirits, craft beer, local wine and all-day music, raffles and activities all along the way.

Historic House Tour along "The First Highway" in New Paltz this Saturday

Bontecoe on the Esopus border. Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) will offer a special orientation and exhibition at the DuBois Fort, designed especially for this occasion, as well as a private visit to one of its stone houses rarely open to the public. The tour presents seven of the town’s most unusual and important houses and farms, dating from the early 18th century to the mid20th, built by Huguenot descendants or upon Huguenot lands. They include examples of early stone houses, a modern interpretation of a Federal-style stone dwelling in the Dutch tradition, a Greek Revival brick beauty, a fanciful manor house and a soaring barn converted to modern living. Side trips will interpret Huguenot Street’s evolution, including the story of the Reformed Church, its three manses and the choirmaster’s house. In addition, the African-American experience in New Paltz will be explored through HHS’s exhibition on a former slave named John Hasbrouck, the slave cellar at the Abraham Hasbrouck House, New Paltz houses by the late-19th-century builder/ architect Jacob Wynkoop and the AfricanAmerican Burial Ground. Registration will be held at the Reformed Church at 92 Huguenot Street, followed by special experiences planned by Historic Huguenot Street from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registrants may park in the Reformed Church and Deyo Hall parking

lots on Broadhead Avenue. Tour houses will be open from 11 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., with a reception and wine-tasting from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at a private farm on the Land Trust’s first easement. Tickets cost $50 general admission, $45 for WVLT members on the day of the tour. Proceeds benefit WVLT’s land preservation efforts. To register, call (845) 255-2761 or visit www.wallkillvalleylt.org.

Bounty of the Hudson Wine & Food Festival coming to New Paltz Now in its 22nd year, the Bounty of the Hudson Wine & Food Festival is an annual wingding jointly sponsored by the 15 area wineries that make up the Shawangunk Wine Trail, kicking off the summer grape escape with a celebration pairing food and winetastings. In years past the event was hosted by different participating vineyards in rotation, but the Festival coming up next weekend is a bit different: It’ll take place on neutral ground, at the Ulster County Fairgrounds. Purveyors of wine, spirits and hard cider at this year’s Bounty of the Hudson will include Adair Vineyards, Applewood Winery, Baldwin Vineyards, Benmarl Winery, Brimstone Hill Vineyard,

Brotherhood Winery, Brunel & Rafael Winery, Clearview Vineyard, Demarest Hill Winery & Distillery, Glorie Farm Winery, Palaia Vineyards & Winery, Robibero Winery, Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery, Whitecliff Vineyard, Milea Estate Vineyard, Hillrock Estate Distillery, Pazdar Winery, Christopher Jacobs Winery at Pennings Vineyards and Angry Orchard. Samples of locally made chocolates and cheeses will be available to clear your palate in between sips. The vendor lineup also includes an array of food trucks and booths, plus purveyors of prepared foods and handicrafts at the Bounty Marketplace. There will be live music all weekend as well: Kayla Rae on Saturday and Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones on Sunday. Bounty of the Hudson goes on from 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 10 and 11. A one-day tasting ticket, good for either Saturday or Sunday, costs $30 in advance or $40 at the gate; designated driver tickets go for $10 in advance, $15 at the gate. Parking is free. Attendees must be age 21 or over, and pets will not be admitted. The Ulster County Fairgrounds are located at 249 Libertyville Road in New Paltz, west of the Wallkill River.

MUSIC tasteofcountryfestival.com does a pretty good job with the breakdown. Hunter Mountain is located at 64 Klein Avenue in Hunter. Taste of Country, rather refreshingly, is a simple two-stage festival without a lot of side attractions and act overload. I am guessing also that it won’t culminate in a late-night electro/trance afterparty. Nice. – John Burdick

John Mayall plays Bearsville this Sunday

t’s a tired and timeless cliché to say that John Mayall has always been better-known for being a mentor to a generation of legendary British blues and rock musicians than for being a top-selling performing and recording artist in his own right. But, as generations of rock critics have demonstrated, it is just what you say about the great John Mayall. The marquee alumni of Mayall’s band the Bluesbreakers are Eric Clapton, of course, as well as Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green and second-period Rolling Stones ringer Mick Taylor. The list also includes John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, Cream’s Jack Bruce and legendary drummer Aynsley Dunbar. Most stints in the Bluesbreakers were brief (John McVie’s four-year tenure is considered the longest); Mayall was a demanding employer as well as a restless plucker of new talent. Mayall’s essential Chicago blues style took many turns over a number of albums that is quite literally countless. He experimented with jazz fusion in the early

’70s and, more successfully, with acoustic blues in the late ’60s. Even as his sidemen went on to form higher-profile projects, Mayall remained successful. For both his role as a kind of finishing school for British rock stars and for the impressive and massive body of work, John Mayall is not only a face on the Rushmore of British blues; he has been for about 50 years. And counting. The legendary John Mayall performs at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on Sunday, June 4 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $30 to $55. For tickets and additional information, visit www. bearsvilletheater.com. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock. – John Burdick

Taste of Country Festival at Hunter Mountain next weekend Considering the level of talent it books and the number of people it draws, Hunter Mountain’s fifth annu-

al Taste of Country Festival goes down rather quietly, pretty much invisibly in the milieu of the mid-Hudson Valley music scene. The same can’t be said of Mountain Jam or Clearwater or Grey Fox, or heck, even Oktoberfest. Taste of Country is the region’s secret little alternative universe. And it is hopping as all get-out. The festival takes over the hills of Hunter from June 9 through 11. And this is no county fair lineup, people. Hell, even I have heard of many of the headliners! Like Mountain Jam on the same slopes, the 2017 lineup is huge at the top and quite firm in the middle. The three biggest names are the Georgia-born genuine country megastar Jason Aldean, who edges out the substantive “bad girl” singer/songwriter Miranda Lambert and the successful college quarterback Sam Hunt for toppermost top billing. Other notables include Kip Young, Chris Moore, Maren Morris and Tyler Farr. Ticketing and camping options are as various and as complex as at any other major festival. The website at http://

Of all the typically hyperskilled guitarists who have found bill-paying work in the void left by the death of Jerry Garcia, Steve Kimock holds a distinction: He was explicitly endorsed by the man himself. Early in his career, the Bay Area regular Kimock was called by the great Garcia “my favorite unknown guitarist.” While many of the Garcia fill-ins over the years (from the Allman-line Jimmy Herring to our own Larry Campbell to the superstar John Mayer) have had to unlearn the blues mode to pick up on Garcia’s singular fusion of modern modal improvisation with a kind of country/ bluegrass melodic classicism, Kimock

Kaatsbaan presents Carolyn Dorfman Dance this Saturday The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli rather quietly produces a steady supply of highend dance programming (and dance’s dancing partner, music), favoring the modern and conceptual, but broad and, as the name states, international in scope. Kaatsbaan’s spring season features works by Carolyn Dorfman Dance on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m. Kaatsbaan is not only a dance venue but also an incubator of new works, and Dorfman’s new work Traces was developed during choreographic residencies in Tivoli. Featuring a company of 11 multiethnic dancers and with music composed by Svjetlana Bukvich, Traces presents “cautionary images of violence and upheaval,” according to Robert Johnson (NJArts.net), but also reflects Dorfman’s “tenacious belief in our ability to solve problems…and move forward together.” Reserved general seating costs $30 for adults and $10 for children. Unreserved student rush tickets go for $10. For tickets and more information, visit www.kaatsbaan.org. The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center is located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli. – John Burdick

Juilliard String Quartet at Bard on Saturday

he Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle’s recently announced 2017 June Concert Series is a dazzler. It begins on Saturday, June 3 with the esteemed Juilliard String Quartet performing Béla Bartók’s String Quartet No. 1 and Beethoven’s epic String Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 130 with Grosse Fuge. Founded in 1946, the ever-evolving Juilliard String Quartet has become known as the “quintessential American string quartet.” The current quartet features Joseph Lin and Ronald Copes on violin, Roger Tapping on viola and Astrid Schween on cello. The June 3 performance takes place at 8 p.m. in Bard College’s Olin Hall. Tickets cost $30 general admission, $5 for students and $70 for all three June concerts. For more information, visit www.hvcmc.org. Bard College is located in Annandale-on-Hudson.

A wildly imaginative and deeply grooving pianist in the serious modern jazz context, Francesca Tanksley has worked as an integral member of the legendary Billy Harper Quartet. She has worked with Melba Liston, Howard Johnson, Laurel Massé of Manhattan Transfer, Reggie Workman, Cecil Payne, David Newman and Nick Brignola, among others, and is a faculty member at the vaunted Berklee College of Music in Boston. But the piano trio is the proving ground and the lab for pianist/composers. Jazzstock presents the Francesca Tanksley Trio (with bassist Otto Gardner and drummer Jeff Siegel) at the Senate Garage on Thursday, June 1 at 7:30 p.m. Admission costs $15. The Senate Garage is located at 4 North Front Street in Kingston. For more information, visit www.jazzstock.com.

Spot to trot Check out Goshen’s Historic Track, Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame

leisurely ride down Route 207 in Orange County will take you to the region’s one and only historic harness racing track, commanding more than 20 acres in the middle of the village of Goshen. It’s reputed to be the world’s oldest harness track and training facility, open year-round and boasting a full slate of harness racing in June and July. What you might not know is that the Goshen Historic Track, with its 2,000-seat grandstand, is a unique location for events of all kinds. Can you imagine staging a wedding at a track founded in 1838? Or holding a fundraising walkathon, or attending concerts and auto shows there? The refined atmosphere is like something from another era. I took advantage of the Track’s “selfguided tour” recently and caught a workout session of a few stunning Standardbreds. Five two-wheeled carts (called “sulkies”) were on the track being pulled by five stunning animals, making their way around it in a very civilized, polite sort of manner. That’s the impression I got of the sport, too, when watching a harness racing video – until the last few yards of a race, that is, when the horses let loose with their most strident efforts to win. The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame holds two theaters, one of which, the Amateur Downs Theater, features a

3-D simulator that puts you right in the driver’s seat behind a horse: a vantage point that is rather thrilling. The Standardbred is built for clipping around the hard-packed oval track. With two distinct gaits actually bred into the animals, trotting or pacing, they are naturals at pulling the lightweight sulkies with evident ease, grace and speed. They can move at up to 30 miles an hour without “breaking gait,” if properly trained. They have shorter legs and longer bodies than Thoroughbreds, and are known to have a more placid disposition. Almost all Standardbreds in North America come from the breed line of Hambletonian 10 (1849-1876), whose racing prowess was renowned. The Goshen Historic Track is expertly maintained and is surrounded by trees and a quiet residential area, providing optimal training conditions for the lucky horses who work out here. Boarding in a modern barn is also offered. Built in 2011, it features secure, pristine stalls and horse-sized bathhouses, and a new cold saltwater equine spa for on-the-premises therapy sessions.

The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame sits right next door in a Tudor-style stable, where, since 1949, the organization has maintained more than 40,000 harness racing artifacts, works of art, historic memorabilia, exhibits and films. It also holds the world’s largest collection of Currier & Ives trotting prints. Dedicated to the protection of harness racing’s memories and to the support of the Standardbred industry, the Museum welcomes more than 20,000 visitors each year. And free traveling exhibits are shown all over North America and Europe. Through documentation, preservation and display, the history and traditions of this American-born sport are kept alive.

Docent and gift shop associate Missy Gillespie greets visitors with clear enthusiasm for her job, pointing people towards At the Gate, a 25-person theater on the first floor where a film introduces the beauty and excitement of harness racing. She talks about the 1996 capital campaign that allowed for a $6 million expansion and renovation. The back of the original stable was left intact in a two-story concourse and now shows what it might have looked like back in the day.

Fashionforward at the Accelerator Lucky Bug Clothing Company finds new home in old barracks at Stewart

hundred years ago, the City of Newburgh was a thriving, bustling industrial hub, as prosperous a city as could be found along the banks of the Hudson. Among its best-known attractions were its clothing industries. Cloth was spun here. Clothing was designed. Those designs were cut and stitched and sewn into countless dresses and shirts and pants and caps that were worn with pride by the men and women who, as recently as the 1950s, strode down Broadway in those locally made outfits, on their way to jobs they believed would never leave them or the city that gave them their livelihoods. Time has been cruel to Newburgh. It barely made it out of the ’50s before the rise of shopping malls, the birth of the ’burbs and a never-ending supply of cheap gasoline conspired to gut the heart of the city. The final indignity may have come when the government shut down Stewart Air Force Base, just west of Newburgh, in 1970, shuttering its brick barracks, leaving them as empty as the promise of economic prosperity that so many had taken for granted for so long. Robin Hayes of Gardiner is keenly aware of those days. She grew up in a town – Wappingers Falls – that suffered the same economic plight. But despite its sad familiarity, her awareness is colored by optimism. She and her daughter Eva have recently launched a tiny clothing business that they hope will be a harbinger of better times for manufacturers. And they’re doing it in the Town of New Windsor, next door to Newburgh, in one of Stewart’s onceabandoned barracks. Lucky Bug Clothing Company came to

life in late 2015, when Robin caught sight of a rose-pattern design created by her son Samuel, a freelance animator in Manhattan. She asked for a digital file of it, printed it out on fabric and created for herself a dress. She made some outfits for the children of a friend; one thing led to another, and before long she and Eva found themselves spending most of last year researching what it would take to launch a clothing business. Eva, as it turns out, holds a degree in Environmental Science and International Affairs: areas of study that have come into play as the women conducted their research. They felt that they needed custom-printed

fabric, so they were going to source it – find someone in New York City to do all the sewing. As they envisioned it, it would be a small-scale, home-centered business plan. Then Robin was introduced last fall to the Accelerator, the Orange County Industrial Development Agency’s business incubator, and everything changed. “I walked in the door and explained our plan, and they said, ‘How would you like to do your manufacturing here, and rent space here?’” When they told Robin and Eva that they could rent a 400-square-foot space for $250 a month, Lucky Bug was on its way to being more than the women had believed possible.

The Accelerator, it turns out, is in the business of trying to attract manufacturingbased businesses in the areas of fashion design and production, bottling, artisan manufacturing and artisan foods by providing below-market occupancy costs, workforce training, mentoring programs, easy access to experienced professionals and a host of other resources. The Hayeses are in the process of finding funds for their all-important digital printer. It will allow them to move their printing operation from its current site in China. But that won’t be the end of the China connection for Lucky Bug: The fabric used for the children’s clothes is made of bamboo. “The only place bamboo is grown for textiles is China," explains Robin. “It’s a different kind of bamboo – not what you picture a panda eating.” Bamboo fabric is not only incredibly soft, it’s also a renewable resource (bamboo being the fastest-growing plant on Earth) and it’s organic. It requires no pesticides nor fertilizers, and needs very little water to grow. Those aspects of the fabric appealed to Eva, whose Environmental Studies have gotten her interested in what she calls “sustainable fashion.” Learning about how cotton requires enough pesticides and fertilizers to make it the second-largest polluter of water in the US convinced the women that bamboo was the way to go. The Hayeses are intent on keeping the manufacturing part of the business local, which is where training programs from the Accelerator and SUNY-Orange factor into the equation. Five local women are currently enrolled in the 40-hour industrial production training program that will culminate in jobs for the trainees. Just as the closing of Stewart Air Force Base’s barracks was a harbinger of hard times, Robin and Eva Hayes hope that their new business is a happy portent of better, homegrown prosperity to come. – Jeremiah Horrigan

ack in 1930, a divorced or about-to-divorce couples getting back together became a staple premise of screwball comedies. Two of Preston Sturgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; masterpieces, The Palm Beach Story and The Lady Eve, come immediately to mind, along with The Philadelphia Story, The Awful Truth and a number of others that bear repeated viewing. American culture had by then shaken itself free of its Puritan legacy just enough to entertain the notion that divorce was not necessarily a matter of family shame and degradation

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that it could actually set mismatched pairs free on many levels, and perhaps even be funny (especially if the straying pair had no financial worries; divorce was still widely seen as a luxury for the monied class at that time). But a happy ending required reconciliation, and vulnerable children were notably absent from most such screen scenarios. Now and again, contemporary filmmakers return to that well of inspiration, with mixed results. The phenomenon of a couple irrevocably bonded through a habit of squabbling never really went away, onscreen as in

real life. But we know too much now to approach such stories without many shades of irony, and a lurking awareness that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kids who mainly pay the price. By the 1980s, divorce movies werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rom/coms anymore, unless they focused on the reawakening of one partner (usually a woman) in the aftermath of a long and stultifying first marriage. Little screentime was typically expended to establish sympathy for the ex. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that trying to recapture the fizz of Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Age today is a doomed or dishonorable effort. La La Land proved that. In theory at least, a satisfying happy-to-be-stuckwith-you movie could still happen. But outstanding chemistry between the two romantic leads would be absolutely essential. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Azazel Jacobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new indie divorce comedy The Lovers falls flat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point, I suppose. Though only an hour-and-a-half in length,

The Lovers feels interminable because it invests so much of its low-key energy in developing the premise that the marriage of Mary (Debra Winger) and Michael (Tracy Letts) has been moribund for so long that even their outside affairs are growing tedious. T hey occupy separate psychic silos in the same drab house somewhere in a decidedly unLa La Land-like Southern California; if each is aware that the other is cheating, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even care. They barely bother to supply anemic excuses for their â&#x20AC;&#x153;had to work lateâ&#x20AC;? routine. Their only child Joel (Tyler Ross) is safely stowed away at college, so no harm, no foul. The story unfolds over the course of a few weeks leading up to a visit home from Joel to introduce his girlfriend Erin (Jessica Sula) to his parents. The most entertaining scenes involve Mary and Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s separate struggles to placate their respective lovers, Robert (Aidan Gillen) and Lucy (Melora Walters), both of whom are pressuring them to end the marriage ASAP.

Terms of endearment Cool lesser-known astro -expressions

very hobby and profession has its own language, and we astronomers certainly have ours. Some terms (zenith: the point straight up) are known by almost everyone. Others (Schwarzschild radius) are familiar only to professionals and serious amateurs. Some are pure fun. They’re fun either because they sound intriguing, or else denote a little-known phenomenon that deserves wider recognition. Some merely sound cool, like exeligmos. It’s a period of time: 54 years and one month. An exeligmos is how long you must wait before the same kind of eclipse returns to your neighborhood. So the fabulous six-and-ahalf-minute North American total solar eclipse of July 11, 1991, seen from Baja California, gets a reprise in the US on August 12, 2045: an exeligmos later. That’ll be the longest totality in US history. How about syzygy? Good Scrabble word (except you need a blank). That’s simply the three-way lineup of Earth, Moon and Sun, like at Full Moon. Parhelion is the mellifluous name for a bright, colorful spot of light 22 degrees to the left or right of a lowish Sun. Its popular name is just as attractive: sundog. How can anyone not like that? I like quadrature, too: the position of any superior planet – one outside of our orbit – when 90 degrees from the Sun in our sky. This month Jupiter is at quadrature, so it will hover in the south at its highest at nightfall. Look up this Saturday evening, June 3, and you’ll see Jupiter right next to the Moon. It’s a very cool conjunction – worth a look, trust me. How about terminator? It sounds cold and icy, thanks to the movies, but that day/ night line – which, on the Moon, creeps along the surface at 10 miles per hour to deliver exquisite high-relief shadowing – makes the terminator the place to look when hauling out any backyard scope. These nights, the terminator is optimally placed for peering at our nearest neighbor. Event horizon is an appealing phrase; we need more like it. It’s a location at the Schwarzschild radius: the distance from a black hole’s singularity inside of which no natural object or even light can escape, because space/time is infinitely curved. Astroterms don’t get much better than these. Twilight wedge deserves to be here, too; and it’s something out of everyday life, rather than esoteric astrophysical theory. That’s the gray/blue horizontal band hugging the eastern horizon each evening at sunset. It’s nothing less than Earth’s shadow thrown into space. It’s striking and obvious, so why isn’t everyone aware of it? While we’re out at dusk, check out crepuscular rays. They’re not visible every clear

GRAPHIC FAIRY

evening, like the twilight wedge, but they’re not rare. You’ve seen them. Those dramatic fairyland rays, emanating from just below the horizon, where the Sun lurks soon after sunset, come from shafts of light poking over the tops of clouds beyond the horizon. Crepuscular means “pertaining to twilight.” It sounds so lovely, I use the word as much as possible – even when it’s not appropriate. Lagrangian point: Does that have zing or what? ’Twas named for Joseph-Louis Lagrange, who, two centuries ago, identified five places where small bits of rock like asteroids (or, these days, spacecraft) can float in happy stable positions in equilibrium with the gravities of two larger objects like a planet and the Sun, or the Moon and Earth. At such positions we’ve placed spacecraft like SOHO, monitoring the Sun, and WMAP, examining the cosmic microwave background. Next year the James Webb Space Telescope will be parked at a Lagrange point, too. Two-word science terms that contain a color are automatically so catchy, they’re often repeated by the mass media: green flash, red giant, black hole, brown dwarf, red shift. Maybe too well-known to qualify for our list of esoterica, but snappy all the same. Cerenkov radiation (sometimes spelled Kerenkov): That’s the blue-violet glow emitted when something breaks the light-speed barrier. How cool is that? Of course, nothing outruns light in a vacuum. But in denser media, like in a nebula or a nuclear reactor’s water-filled tank, that violet glow means subatomic particles are zooming around like faster-than-light roaches. Eerie. I love the word Maria. It has two totally different meanings. Pronounced Ma-RYE-uh, as in Mariah Carey, it’s the first name of the great astronomer Maria Mitchell. A century ago she trailblazed the way for women astronomers from her observatory on Nantucket (worth a visit), then as Vassar’s first female professor. But pronounced differently, as MAR-ee-uh, they’re the black lava seas on the moon: the most prominent lunar features visible to the naked eye. Singular is Mare (MAR-ee or MAR-ay). If you’d like to make this a competitive exercise, award yourself a point for each definition you already knew. Ten points earn you a one-year subscription to Modern Vacuum.– Bob Berman

Unfortunately, though both Walters and Gillen do fine work, not enough backstory is given for the audience to draw any conclusions about whether Robert and Lucy are genuinely “needy types” or merely fed up with the long wait for clear commitment. What’s more problematic is the fact that we don’t get much of an inkling, either, about what drew Mary and Michael together in the first place (other than the fact that he used to play the piano, which merely serves as the movie’s clunkily obvious Chekhovian gun). Though they come more alive with their new partners, they don’t appear ever to have had their own time of being a Beatriceand-Benedick pair of ardent antagonists. Winger strives mightily to deliver a character who could be truly vivid if she weren’t numbing her alienation with large glasses of wine – and it’s quite a pleasure to have her back on the big screen again, reminding us what a gifted actress she is. Letts, on the other hand, should probably stick to being a playwright; he makes Michael such a charmless zhlub that it’s tough to fathom what either Mary or Lucy sees in him. So when we get to the point in the story that’s the point of the story – Mary and Michael waking up one morning (presumably from very good dreams about Robert and Lucy) with their lips nearly touching, followed by amusing recoils, a lot of daft staring and a sudden torrid “affair” with one another before it’s all over – the revived mutual interest is simply unconvincing. The actors seem to be going through the motions without feeling the spark in the least. Their sex scenes are like trips to the gym. And the director lays on Mandy Hoffman’s soupy, waltzy, string-heavy score with a trowel, trying to beat down the audience’s resistance to believing that these two characters

could still make a cute, enthusiastic couple. For this viewer at least, it didn’t jell. Nor is the movie’s tone arch and cynical enough to work on a meta-level of being a commentary in favor of polyamory over monogamy as better-suited to the human organism’s hardwiring. Or at least, if that’s the takeaway that the writer/director had in mind, he failed to develop it enough to make it stick. The Lovers isn’t a terrible movie, but it could have been a better one with a tighter screenplay or a different lead actor. It could have been an excellent movie if it had been directed by Preston Sturges, but those days are gone. I wouldn’t mind seeing what a French director could do with a remake – putting a bit of effervescence back into the Champagne. – Frances Marion Platt

NATURE Good science Mohonk Foothills Phenology Project seeks volunteers to collect nature data

ong before the Mohonk Preserve even went by that moniker, it was doing phenology big-time. No, not measuring the bumps on people’s heads; that’s phRenology. Phenology is about when the swallows come back to Capistrano; when the shadbush blooms and the shad run upriver to spawn; when frogs and salamanders have their Big Night of swarming across roads in search of the ideal vernal pool; when the fall foliage display is likely to reach peak perfection; when brook trout start biting because the mayflies have hatched. Succinctly defined by the National Wildlife Federation as “the study of how the biological world times natural events,” phenology matters to humans in a million different ways; to the rest of the animal and vegetable kingdoms, it’s a matter of life and death. If a bird is programmed to arrive at its feeding grounds when daylight length reaches a certain threshold, but the berry-bearing or larvae-emergence time of its primary food source has peaked two weeks early on account of temperature changes, that bird – perhaps even its entire species – could be in serious trouble. Phenology happens when people keep careful track of biological trends by collecting data in the same location season after season, year after year, then analyzing the results to determine the bigger picture of environmental health, or threats thereto. Members of the Smiley family, founders of Mohonk Mountain House, have been faithfully and meticulously recording such information on the Shawangunk Ridge since the late 19th century, and the Mohonk Preserve carries on the tradition to this day. It’s a national model for longitudinal scientific study, and today an important contributor to the New York Phenology Project and the USA National Phenology Network’s Nature’s Notebook citizen science program. “Citizen science” has become a trendy catchphrase for several years now, but its importance has been catapulted to the

HIKE

The bounties of Bonticou

ne of the great joys of life in the mid-Hudson Valley is having world-class hiking opportunities practically in our back yards. And now’s prime time to take advantage of them. The icy and muddy footing of late winter and early spring are past, and the draining heat, humidity and mosquitoes of high summer have yet to arrive. Time to get out there on the trails! Unlike the Catskills, where it can take half a day of uphill slogging to reach a break in the dense forest cover for the deferred gratification of a fine vista, the white conglomerate cliffs of the Shawangunk (pronounced Shongum by locals) Ridge reward even the casual hiker with a couple of hours to spare with sudden views and vertiginous dropoffs around many a bend. If you want to check out the Gunks and aren’t sure where to start, you can hardly go wrong with Bonticou Crag on the Mohonk Preserve. Viewed from New Paltz, Bonticou is that first notable white outcrop to the north of Sky Top. Some accounts claim that it was named after an early surveyor; others that the Bonte Coe (Spotted Cow in Dutch) was, like the Gilded Otter, one of the ships that brought European settlers to the area. Whatever it means, locals tend to pronounce it “Bontikyew,” not “Bontikoo.” Reaching the top of the Crag is not as daunting as it might appear from the valley floor, though the views that it affords are as splendid as one might imagine. There are three primary ways of getting there, all originating at the Preserve’s Spring Farm trailhead in High Falls: a challenging route for those who are fit and enjoy rock scrambling, and a couple of more roundabout ones for those who prefer a gentle climb that doesn’t require frequent use of both hands. All are fascinatingly scenic and varied. From the parking area, you cross some wildflower meadows that are alive with butterflies and, if you’re lucky, the occasional indigo bunting. Heading uphill via the red-blazed Crag Trail will bring you to a (somewhat confusing) diamond-shaped intersection where you turn left onto Bonticou Road (blue), which in turn will lead you to the Bonticou Ascent Path (yellow). There you head left, and decide whether you want to go the short, scary way straight up the talus slope (yellow) or detour left again on the Northeast Trail (blue), which will lead you to the more gradual other end of the Bonticou Ascent Path. If you take the longer route, keep an eye out for the big hollow “snake tree” at a trail intersection, where a family of nesting black racers may compensate you for what the Northeast Trail lacks in the way of adrenaline rushes. Either way will take you to a sprawling clifftop, where you can have a fine picnic and watch the vultures soar below you. On a clear day, you can see as far as Storm King to the southeast. Many visitors like to go up via the cliff path (which is even more difficult heading down) and return the longer way. Staying on the Northeast Trail beyond the yellow path on the way back is a nice way of extending your hike, if you’d like to visit Table Rocks or some Paleo-Indian rock shelters before heading off the mountain. Bonus: Near its end, that extra-long route passes Mohonk’s famed “Million Dollar View” of the Catskills and the rustic Slingerlands Pavilion (both favorite venues for weddings). You can, of course, approach Bonticou Crag from that direction as well. Many paths crisscross on Bonticou’s flanks, so it’s a good idea to rely on a map. You can get a free Mohonk Preserve map with your entry fee (or by flashing your membership card) at the Spring Farm gatehouse, or invest in the wonderful set of weatherproof Tyvek Gunks maps available from the New York/New Jersey Trail Conference (http://bit.ly/2rkTLw1).

Major online sources for climate data are being shut down or retooled to avoid the subject, lest fossil fuel companies be forced by public opinion to turn to mining wind and sunshine instead of coal and crude oil. No matter how right scientists may be, they can’t prove their case without rigorous data collection.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Fruitful undertaking Leave room for harvesting your permaculture crops

’m no devotee of the perfect lawn, but I did recently suggest, for the bare palette of ground on which W wanted to plan for a variety of fruits, a patch of lawn. W protested that she hated mowing and wanted a “permaculture planting” that would take little care. Visitors to my garden have occasionally complimented me on my lawn. The only care I give it is mowing with a mulching mower that lets clippings rain back down. By not cutting the lawn I avoid “mining” the soil for nutrients by repeated harvest of clippings. The clippings also enrich the ground with humus. Still, I’d rather grow trees, shrubs, vines (especially fruiting ones) and vegetables and flowers than lawn grass. But I have plenty of ground devoted to these plants. And the easiest way to care for a plot of ground, short of sealing it in asphalt or just letting weeds grow (some of which would undoubtedly be edible or attractive), is by mowing. Visually, lawn grass also provides a calm backdrop for the scene out my back and front door. Plus, it’s nice to walk and play on. A lawn need not be the environmental disaster inadvertently promoted by purveyors of fertilizers and pesticides. As stated above, by letting clippings fall where they may, ground is not drained of its fertility, so fertilizer may not be needed – especially if you let a little clover invade the lawn to add nitrogen, the most evanescent of plant nutrients. That nitrogen highlights another approach to an easier lawn: not striving for the uniform look of artificial turf. My lawn has its share of dandelions and clover and, later in the season, crabgrass, especially if the weather turns dry. I tolerate all this with a refocusing of my aesthetic lens to celebrate a certain amount of diversity in the lawn. Lawn care is even more environmentally sound these days with cordless electric lawnmowers not spewing noise, carbon dioxide and other byproducts of gasoline consumption into the air. Periodic scything is a very pleasant way to get by with less mowing, and sheep may be a way to get by with no mowing (but you do have to fence and do whatever else is necessary to care for the sheep).

There is one common tree fruit that’s easy to grow: pears.

Now for W’s permaculture fruit trees, shrubs and vines – with some lawn, of course (I think I convinced her). For starters, I suggested steering clear of apples, peaches, plums, cherries, nectarines and apricots. All are relatively high-maintenance and, even with all that maintenance, still are iffy crops in this part of the world because of our extreme and variable climate and the plants’ susceptibilities to insects and diseases. So, what’s there left to grow? Berries, for one. Most berries don’t stand up well to commercial handling, so are picked underripe, even though they don’t ripen at all once harvested: all the more reason to grow berries in the backyard, where the best-tasting varieties can be planted and the harvest need not be shipped much further than arms’ length. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries are all easy to grow without much care beyond pruning, which is very important for keeping the plants disease-free and convenient to harvest. And no need to restrict the berry bowl to these most common berries. Also easy to grow are seaberries, elderberries, lingonberries, mulberries and hardy kiwifruit (which are, botanically, berries). A plus for these latter berries, as well as the aforementioned

That’s where you come in, concerned citizen: State agencies, wildlife preserves, nature centers and educational institutions need volunteer boots on the ground to keep on recording the dates when the buds burst on a particular tree species at a particular elevation at a particular latitude – relentlessly persevering in the face of government funding cuts and other attempts to erase the mounting evidence that our progeny’s inheritance of a livable planet is in peril. If you’re not the type to march on Washington brandishing a sign, a nice walk in the woods every couple of weeks, with a notebook and pencil or cellphone app in hand, might be more your speed. The scientists at the Mohonk Preserve’s Phenology Project have even tagged the specimens that you’re supposed to visit, and prepared clear, explicit, userfriendly protocols to guide you in your observations. You don’t have to guess what it means, visually, for a red maple flower to be “open”; you get photos of the real thing for comparison. Have a look at the Project’s PowerPoint at http://bit. ly/2rScdNr to get the flavor of it. The Preserve’s website provides links for species fact sheets, checklists, maps and other resources, and there are monthly “field sessions” with one of the program’s coordinators where you can get some hands-on practice, plus tips on “tricky”

identification scenarios. Otherwise, participants can schedule their visits to the wild at their own convenience, so long as they commit to a minimum of two observational visits per month and enter their data on the Nature’s Notebook website. The Project even maintains a Facebook group where you can post photos of what you’re seeing and ask questions. The data that you collect will be available to scientists, researchers and the general public in order to inform planning for our planet’s future with hard science.

blueberries, is that the plants are also ornamental. There is one common tree fruit that’s easy to grow: pears. And even easier than European pears, such as Bartlett, Anjou and Bosc, are Asian pears, such as Chojuro, Yoinashi, Hosui and scores of other varieties. Asian pears also bear more quickly and prolifically, and are a little more decorative than the also-decorative European pears. The main problem that I’ve seen with many permaculture plantings is that they look great on paper as well as when first planted. Mouths water at the prospect of all those ornamental fruiting plants cozied together: fruit on creeping plants beneath trees whose branches strain downward with their weight of fruit, and perhaps a nearby grape or kiwifruit plant insinuating its berried vines in among the trees’ branches. I’ve seen such plans and such plantings. What a nightmare of management they are, or will be – mostly because of the need for relentless, extensive, judicious pruning to keep some plants from overtaking the landscape and starving others for nutrients or light. The result is less fruit of lower quality, and difficulty in finding the fruit and getting to it. A little lawn is good to give the fruiting plants some elbow room and to make them easier to care for. Don’t wait for dry weather to learn about an easy and better (for you and plants) way to water. On June 24 from 1 to 4:30 p.m., I’ll be holding a Drip Irrigation Workshop at the garden of Margaret Roach in Copake Falls. Learn how to design a system, and participate in a hands-on installation.

The deep red shade that painted her lips, coordinated with the color of the wine that danced within her glass and intoxicated her bones, “It might storm,” she whispered through her fragile fingers. The mahogany in her eyes reaching, reaching for the black ineffable clouds that rolled in over the city. In the moment of her distraction, I absorbed every breathtaking detail of her complexion, I watched the city lights bleed into her velvet Valentino gown. Cloth creased between my fingers from the nervewracking feeling of basking in her presence, rumble of talk and chatter similar to drowned-out echoes that fell more distant than they were. Sweet smells of cinnamon lavender intertwined with a warm scratch of vanilla, spilling into the evening air through temporary steamy swirls of a nearby waiting coffee. When she giggled, the handful of scattered freckles that kissed her nose bounced with her dimples, highlighting her jawline like the sound of rain to a thunderstorm, and the light she projected swallowed me whole, drew me blind in her elegance. And that was it. The magnificent, elegant she.

Remembering Ana Dooley

Ana Lauren Dooley, 15, of Eddyville, was a musician, artist, writer and dedicated student. After five years of fierce determination in the face of a

relentless cancer, Ana passed away on March 22, 2017. Ana expressed a love of music and an astonishing ability to sing from a very early age, and started singing lessons at six years old. She attended the High Meadow School in Stone Ridge from first through eighth grades, where her love of learning and incessant curiosity about everything from science to history to philosophy were cultivated and nurtured. She attended the Woodstock Day School in ninth and tenth grades: a place that embraced her and allowed her to flourish as both a student and the emerging young woman she was becoming. Ana was an accomplished musician and performer who started playing guitar at the age of 11 and performed in numerous shows, both independently and with the Paul Green Rock Academy. In 2016, with best friend Marissa Gaylin by her side, she produced and performed in a show that raised $1,000 for Hudson Valley’s Makea-Wish chapter: her way of saying “Thank you” for the wish they granted her in 2013. Ana adored animals. Her first career dream was to be a vet or work at a shelter. She was a “frog whisperer” who loved to catch and release frogs at Willow Kiln Park in Rosendale and anywhere else frogs tend to linger. She liked to explore forest trails throughout the Hudson Valley, taking pictures of whatever caught her fancy, particularly the sky. Ana adored her cats Pepper and Luna, but had a special place in her heart for her dog, Roo. In the last year of her life, Ana cultivated a love of crystals and stones. She was fascinated with divination and magic. Her bedroom was her haven where she surrounded herself with positive energy in the form of candles, crystals and the music she loved: the Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Prince, the Doors, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. Ana is survived by her parents, Jacqueline and James Dooley; her sister, Emily Rose Dooley; her maternal grandparents, Judy and Aaron Krongard; her paternal grandmother, Janne Dooley; her aunts, Amy Dooley Mosbacher and Lisa Krongard Levitan; and cousins, Chloe and Layla Mosbacher and Nicole, Michelle and Joseph Lomuscio. Ana’s memorial was held at the Woodstock Day School in Saugerties on May 21. A Wish Fund was created during Ana’s life to help pay for experiences and memories that she shared with her sister, Emily. One of her last requests was that any money remaining in the Wish Fund after she die go towards Emily’s college education. Donations can be made here: http://healingana.com/donate.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Living the dream

t happens every Memorial Day weekend, and this year was no exception. Some of the people driving up from the New York City metropolitan area didn’t want to go back. It wasn’t just the fear of Thruway traffic that motivates them. They had enjoyed a life-altering experience. There was no going back. They’d been catching themselves fantasizing about a better life: perhaps a cabin in the woods, a smalltown pied-à-terre close to the Trailways bus stop, or a suburban split-level that reminds them of where they might have grown up. Perhaps they’d plan to come upstate on weekends more often. Maybe one of a couple will commute to the city once a week while the other built an upstate nest. Or maybe they’d make an abrupt decision right then and there to give up Gotham cold turkey. Some of these seekers will end up buying real estate on quick impulse. Others plan a methodical search and wonder whether they shouldn’t check out the Hamptons again, too. Still others will look, look and look but never buy. “When I got up into the country,

I responded so totally,” one of these disrupted souls told The New York Times, journalistic repository for the transcendent experiences of the urban middle classes. “It was like a yearning had been fulfilled that I didn’t even know was there.”

new generation has been added to the mix in recent years: the moneyed millennials. Let it not be said that the local real-estate professionals, who sell the positive experience of living in a paradise with relatively low housing prices, discourage these eager newcomers. Why should they? “They’re the nicest group of people,” said Candida Ellis, managing partner at Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty (CBVGR). “They have more money at their age. They saw the crash of 2009, and they understand real estate. There are still low interest rates, and they’re in a good mood. They’re the friendliest people, in touch with their feelings. They realize the best time [to buy] is now.” Pamela Jean Orr, who sells real estate out of a Keller Williams franchise in Margaretville, agreed. “The people we are selling to now are experiential,” she said. “You have to sell them the experience.”

All for one. Visit Hudson Valley One and read the best of what Ulster Publishing has to offer. Check it out at: hudsonvalleyone.com.

Her average customer is 35 years old, she said. In her Delaware County experience, the average broker is 65. These young potential buyers realize that the Internet revolution has made long-distance communication dramatically f a s t e r, e a s i e r a n d c h e a p e r, diminishing the importance of geographic proximity in social interactions. They can now have the best of both worlds, they think, enjoying downstate incomes in an upstate environment. For all but the newcomers with the highest incomes, however, distance is not dead. Early research indicates that electronic communications are most pronounced in regard to local social ties. Perhaps counter-intuitively, digital technology has increased and not decreased the importance of geographic proximity. Living upstate while working downstate is not easy. Does the non-monetary

ccording to the 2012 federal Economic Census, about 4,000 people in the five mid-Hudson counties of Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange and Ulster were engaged in the business of real estate, rentals and leasing. That total number hasn’t changed much since then. Perhaps a quarter of those were employed in rental and leasing services, and others were in property management, appraising and office work. Let’s estimate that there are 2,500 real-estate agents actively serving a population of perhaps 1.1 million, or one agent per more than 500 persons. Three weeks ago, Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty held a soft opening at its new office in Montgomery Row (6423 Montgomery Street, Suite 17A) in Rhinebeck. The firm’s agents have already created a market at their new turf. According to marketing director Amy Wallace, seven agents work out of the new location. This is CBVGR’s first foray on the east bank of the Hudson River. ”We have crossed the great divide,” pronounced managing partner Ellis, feigning drama. Started by Ellis’ active business partner, Joan Lonergan of Woodstock, CBVGR now has, in addition to its Rhinebeck location, three offices in Ulster County (Woodstock, Kingston and New Paltz), one in Orange County (Goshen) and one in Greene County (Windham). As of two weeks ago, it boasted 105 agents (its office managers are agents, too) plus five staff people. CBVGR prides itself on its supportive culture. “We’re all moving in the same direction,” said Ellis. “You have to play as a team.” T h o u g h Ellis thinks that the charac ter of the business of real estate hasn’t changed fundamentally, she acknowledged that digital technology has had a great impact. Sites like Zillow, Trivia and Realtor. com have created more knowledgeable consumers expecting more services. According to Zillow, the median home value in Ulster County is $192,900. Realtor.com puts the median closing price at $174,000. The NYS Association of Realtors put the median selling price in March 2017 at $188,500. According to both Zillow and Realtor.com, the median listing price is now $215,000. The inventory of houses for sale was rapidly declining, however, usually an indicator of higher prices to come. – Geddy Sveikauskas

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,
