Fruits of your labor Pick-your- own strawberry season imminent at Dressel Farms in New Paltz

W

hen you farm for your living, you always have to get up early. The Dressel family has been doing that for so long that it’s now a couple of days ahead of the game: This year’s Strawberry Moon rose on June 9, but the Dressels started selling freshpicked strawberries at their farmstand on Route 208 in New Paltz on the seventh. The pick-your-own season surely can’t be far behind! As of presstime, the much-anticipated opening date was forecast for “approximately” June 15 or 16. It’s the weather and the ripening of the berries that drive the schedule, not customer demand or weekend traffic. Mother Nature is calling the shots here. “The rain slows everything down. It makes the strawberries fatter, but not sweeter,” said Sarah Dressel, who has a degree in Agricultural Science from Cornell and who, like her grandmother before her, now runs the family’s strawberry pickyour-own operation.

Three generations of the Dressel family – Rod Jr., Sarah and Rod Sr. – checking one of their strawberry patches last Friday. Rod Dressel, Sr. is an old hand at the berry-timing game. His father, Fred Dressel, first planted strawberries on this land in the 1940s.

“The hot weather is really going to move them along. They’ll ripen very fast,” agreed Sarah’s grandfather, Rod Dressel, Sr., an old hand at the berrytiming game. His father, Fred Dressel, first planted strawberries on this land in the 1940s. “I remember having to pick strawberries while taking Regents exams in high school,” Rod Sr. recalls. Before the

Dressels opened their roadside stand in 1972, Rod would deliver berries door-todoor to regular customers in town. Today, three generations of the Dressel family – including Rod Sr., Rod Jr. and his wife Deb, Sarah and her brother Tim – grow more than 400 acres worth of apples (20 varieties), peaches, cherries, blueberries, pumpkins and strawberries.

Eight acres of land are devoted to strawberry beds, with do-it-yourselfers taking home many quarts at a time. The technique for picking strawberries is considerably different from picking apples, on account of the fragility of the fruit. It's important to leave the berries alone until they’re red all the way through, with no white tips. Each bed gets revisited about five times per variety, at three-day intervals. “A lot of people grow good strawberries, but they lose them in harvesting,” Rod Sr. observed. “These are farm market varieties, meant to be sold the day they’re picked,” explained Tim Dressel. They’re not bred for sturdiness for shipping, like California or Florida strawberries, but for exquisite flavor and juiciness. Earliglow and Wendy ripen first, then Jewels and Scarlet, then Valley Sunset and Record toward the end of the season. The Dressels pride themselves on the fact that every container of strawberries for sale on the counter at their farmstand contains nothing but berries at their peak of perfection. There are no unripe mealy ones hidden underneath. And they sell out far too fast each day – sometimes hours before

the enslaved ancestors who survived the Middle Passage, including a stay in a Huguenot Street slave cellar just last year. James will speak about the meaning of Juneteenth, and will once again spend the night – this year sharing the cellar with BlackStoriesMatter writers from the non-profit TMI Project. Following their overnight stay, participants will engage in a series of ten writing workshops to craft monologues inspired by their lives and their experience on Huguenot Street. Chef Brandon Walker, Culinary Institute of America graduate and owner of Essie’s Restaurant in Poughkeepsie, will cater the event, creating a cuisine that takes inspiration from his American South and Caribbean heritage. Chef Walker will consult with culinary historian Michael W. Twitty on the menu to highlight the rich history of African American foodways. On Sunday, June 18, families get free admission to Historic Huguenot Street in honor of I Love NY’s Path through History Weekend. This includes admissions into the historic house tours and exhibits throughout the day. Bring a blanket and bagged lunch, and have a picnic on the grounds. Enjoy a day as you learn about the families who founded New Paltz. Open daily except Wednesday from 10 a.m. to5 p.m., Historic Huguenot Street offers daily tours, holiday programs, historical reenactments, the In Her Words: A Women’s History Tour and various other programs for children and adults. Registration for the Juneteenth event is available at www.huguenotstreet. org/juneteenth. General admission costs $25.

M

y mother tells a story of me as a precocious and disarmingly articulate young rebel. It takes place in the education building of the Reformed Church on Huguenot Street in New Paltz. Presented there with some Bible story and/or precept, my mother has the eight-or-nine-year-old John calmly saying, to the amusement and amazement of those assembled, “I do not subscribe to that theory.” I bet my mom knocked some Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan has received Grammy, Academy and Golden Globe awards, as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize for years off my age, the way one adds inches Literature. to fishes in personal lore, and I sort of suspect that it never happened at all; but it does sound like me: contrarian for the hell of it, but well-armed to defend a fundamentally antagonistic stance. I stood up to Bob Dylan like I stood up to God. I didn’t subscribe to that theory. At the root of my resistance was a simple fact: I loved music – not character, not style, not folk poetry, not politics, not relevance as defined by Jann Wenner. I loved music, and for me, there just wasn’t enough music in Bob Dylan’s music. Like Levon (I would learn years later), I couldn’t find the pocket in Dylan’s rock. It just sounded like unoriginal slop. Like Levon, I excused myself from it (while the rest of the Band went on the road with him). Like Levon, I came around eventually. You can’t fight Bob Dylan, like you can’t fight the tide. He has achieved a cultural presence so pervasive and lasting that he is practically a feature of the Earth’s ecosystem, for reasons having less to do with Jann Wenner’s mythmaking machinery and more with the inherent properties of Dylan’s work: the poignancy and character of his language, the efficacy of its simple melodic containers, the wonderfully permissive slop of his poetic prosodics in which lines of overblown prose are miraculously pulled into verse just in time for the rhyme. You just want him speaking for you for some reason. I don’t get it. I still prefer music, but Dylan is great. I subscribe already. In case you are just getting back from your walkabout, the Bardavon is presenting two performances by Bob Dylan: Friday and Saturday, June 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. at the Hutton Brickyards at 200 North Street in Kingston. The Saturday show is sold out, but a few tickets remain for Friday. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bardavon.org. The Bardavon box office will close on Friday, June 23 at 3 p.m., and tickets will only be available at the Hutton Brickyards, which will only be accessible for non-ticket or non-parking pass-holders by parking at the many lots near UPAC in midtown Kingston and taking a free shuttle bus. Shuttles will begin departing from UPAC, 601 Broadway in Kingston, at 5:30 p.m. The Hutton Brickyards open at 6 p.m. There is no opening act, and the show starts promptly at 8 p.m. – John Burdick

closing time – to include any berries with soft spots. Consequently, many locals are content to stop by for a $6 quart a couple of times per week during berry season, rather than stock up by picking their own at the bargain price of $2.75 per pound. But there’s definitely an element of fun in crouching between the rows, seeking the perfect fruits to fill your baskets to take home. Youngsters love berry-picking outings – although they may need some coaching as to what makes a ripe berry, as well as how to slip the first two fingers around the stem and pull downward gently on the berry’s “shoulders.” The elder Dressel dislikes the use of plastic mulch, adhering to the more traditional practice of spreading a thick layer of ryestraw (they grow their own) over strawberry beds. This speeds drainage, discouraging rot. Still, each bed must be rotated out of strawberry production after three to four years, as the destructive water mold Phytophthora fragariae can persist in the soil for up to ten years. So if you haven’t been out to Dressel’s to pick berries in a while, don’t expect to end up in the same place where you used to pick them. The beds once visible right along the roadside were turned over to other crops long ago. Your best bet is to check in at the farmstand – located at 271 Route 208, about three miles south of New Paltz – and ask where they’re picking that day.

The two varieties earliest to ripen include Earliglow, the Dressel family’s favorite for flavor, so don’t wait too long for peak harvest. But according to Rod Sr., the later varieties should continue to bear as late as July Fourth weekend – and Record, he said is “ideal for chocolatedipping.” Pick-your-own hours are from 8 to 11:30 a.m. daily and from 6 to 7:30 only on Thursdays and Fridays. For an announcement of opening day, like/follow Dressel Farms on Facebook. Farmstand hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily during strawberry season. – Frances Marion Platt Dressel Farms is located at 271 State Route 208 in New Paltz.

Historic Huguenot Street marks Juneteenth on Saturday Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas on June 19 in 1865, carrying news that the Civil War had ended and that enslaved people had been freed. Juneteenth is an annual worldwide celebration marking that important day, the oldest-known commemoration of the ending of slavery in the US. Locally, Historic Huguenot Street in New Paltz holds a daylong celebration of African culture, music and cui-

inexorably a terminal experience, life in the 21st century has lost a fair few of the risks that gave us adrenaline rushes during most of the millennia of human evolution. Nowadays, leopards don’ t crouch on tree limbs overhanging our suburban driveways. And for many of us, safe = boring. So we look to the immaterial and unexplainable for our cathartic jump scares, channeled through projected images in dark theaters from which we can emerge unscathed into daylight afterwards. All well and good, and such tastes in entertainment create decently paying jobs for many a media artist. For me, though, the threat in the horror flick is much more effective if it’s grounded in the tangible, so that you can’t just walk

out and wave it away, saying, “Oh, that’s just a movie.” Mental illness counts; the hallucinations suffered by the protagonist of Roman Polanski’s Repulsion are among the most frightening images ever recorded on film, in my book. Nightmares count; we all have them, and they express our real fears in symbolic ways. And although I won’t follow it all the way to zombieapocalypse scenarios, contagion counts. Disease still kills most of us. Humans behaving badly, driven by their own fears, rational or irrational, count most of all. That’s the beauty of Trey Edward Shults’ new thriller, the infelicitously named It Comes at Night. People who go see it hoping for malevolent spirits, stalking undead or alien monsters will be disappointed. Some may even wonder why it’s being marketed as a horror flick – especially with that misleading title. It’s not much of a spoiler to say that the “It” refers on one level to a deadly plague, on another to unexpected (and possibly untrustworthy) human visitors and on yet another to fear itself. All the bad things that happen here really could happen, and probably would in many places if a new, highly contagious and lethal disease should emerge for which science has no remedy. It Comes at Night is a grim and minimalistic depiction of people in desperate straits, weighing the likelihood of contamination in all their interactions. We never find out what exactly this disease is, although it bears symptomatic similarities both to bubonic/pneumonic plague and Ebola. In its final stages, victims – such as the grandfather whose death launches the narrative – are covered with boils or buboes and hemorrhage at the mouth. It’s an affliction gross enough for any horror movie, for sure. Other than creepy makeup and stage blood, no special effects are needed. What this film accomplishes splendidly, on a low indie budget, is to create an atmosphere of sustained tension and creepiness that has more to do with the unknowns of potential human reactions to stress than with the killer disease itself. Almost all of it was shot inside and immediately outside one of Woodstock’s uninhabited Byrdcliffe houses, its dream sequences making very effective use of the building’s long hallways and attic cubbyholes. If you’re a true devotee of filmcraft, I’d recommend seeing It Comes at Night if for no other reason than its exquisite cinematography – particularly its use of light, in scenes where nightmareplagued Travis (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.), the son of the beleaguered household, wanders upstairs and downstairs carrying a rechargeable electric lamp. This claustrophobic tale is told from Travis’ perspective, and young Harrison does a fine job; I expect we’ll be seeing more of him. The rest of the small-butexcellent cast includes Joel Edgerton as Paul, the domineering father; a somewhat underutilized Carmen Ejogo as Sarah, the fiercely protective mother; and Christopher Abbott, Riley Keough and Griffin Robert Faulkner as the second

family who show up at the barricaded door seeking refuge. Oh, and there’s also a mangy-looking dog who plays an important part in the proceedings. Otherwise, It Comes at Night is mostly all about interhuman negotiations where trust, suspicion and interdependency keep tipping the scales in one direction or another. It’s definitely an actors’ movie. If you like psychological horror better than the supernatural sort, and relish relational nuance over special effects, you might find it right up your dark alley. – Frances Marion Platt

“Gathering Woodstock Women” opens this Friday at Eames House The Historical Society of Woodstock (HSW) has mounted a major exhibit, “Gathering Woodstock Women: A Celebration of the New York State Women’s Suffrage Centennial,” recalling the scores of 19th-to-21 st-century women from the town’s colorful history and honoring their contributions. Opening to the public on Friday, June 16 at the Eames House Museum, the photographic journey into the past is accompanied with prose written by current residents who knew them or admired the women. A reception at the Museum will take

place on Friday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. At noon on Saturday, June 17, town historian Richard Heppner and Janine Fallon-Mower, co-authors of Legendary Locals of Woodstock, will speak at the same location on “The Varying Roles of Women throughout Woodstock History.” Olivia Twine, freelance writer on The New York History Blog (and other publications), writes, “Way before the 1969 Woodstock Festival, Woodstock women were a vital part of the community and contributed to the town’s unique character. From all walks of life, they wove their lives into the fabric of their distinctive town. ‘Gathering Woodstock Women,’ the exhibit, is part of an ongoing effort to build the Historical Society’s People Archive to include a more complete representation of women.” In the making for nearly two years, the exhibit celebrates both the New York State and national women’s suffrage centennials (2017 is the centennial observance of the 1917 victory of women winning voting rights in New York State, and 2020 will be the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution that guaranteed all American women the right to vote). Remarkable women from all walks of life are included in the collection. Written contributions and images obtained during preparation for the exhibit will be maintained in the HSW Archive.

The exhibit will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. until September 3. Admission is free. Refreshments will be available at the events this weekend. – Ann Hutton “Gathering Woodstock Women” opening reception, Friday, June 16, 7-9 p.m., Richard Heppner/Janine Fallon-Mower, “The Varying Roles of Women throughout Woodstock History” Saturday, June 17, noon, Eames House, 20 Comeau Drive, Woodstock; www.historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org, www.facebook.com/historical.woodstock.

A collaboration between Vassar and New York Stage and Film, Powerhouse’s overpacked seasons encompass lavish fully staged productions of new plays, as well as a rich and daily sense of artin-the-making via workshop presentations of new plays and musicals, as well as readings of new works-in-progress.

Powerhouse is thus an institution quite on the map for professional actors (always looking for the summer city-escape plan), directors and – most of all – writers, who have the hardest time of the three finding professional outlets for their work. For the popular theater is only slightly less conservative and shackled to its proven past than the orchestral music world. “The last several years at Powerhouse have been especially fertile ground for the development of some of the most exciting new works for the American theater,” said Johanna Pfaelzer, artistic director of New York Stage and Film. “We look forward to providing this summer’s lineup of artists – an incredible collection of Powerhouse alums and first-timers – a rigorous and protected artistic community in which their work can flourish and prepare for the next step in its journey.”

Before it became a world-wide sensation, there was a reading of Lin-Manuel Miranda's hip-hop musical about the life of Alexander Hamilton at Vassar during Powerhouse Theater's 2013 season. Hamilton went on to win Best Musical and ten other Tonys in its Broadway incarnation.

The upcoming season features new works by Tony-winners Lisa Kron and Duncan Sheik; How I Met Your Mother star and Powerhouse regular Josh Radnor; Hedwig and the Angry Inch composer Stephen Trask; stage and screen star and playwright Hamish Linklater; and two-time Pulitzer Prize for Drama recipient Lynn Nottage, among m a ny o t h e r s . Powerhouse will also welcome some of the industry’s leading theater directors this year, including To n y - w i n n e r s Sam Gold and Michael Mayer, Tony nominees Scott Ellis and Sheryl Kaller and Obie-winner Trip Cullman. The two mainstage productions in the Powerhouse Theater will be the new Radnor-penned, Kaller-directed bittersweet comedy Sacred Valley, which runs from June 29 to July 9. In Sacred

Valley, a mushroom trip gone awry wreaks havoc in the relationships of close friends and partners. From July 20 to 30, the mainstage yields to Kevin Armento’s Good Men Wanted, a true story of women who disguised themselves as men to serve in the Civil War, directed by Jaki Bradley. The season also features three workshop productions of new musicals in the Vogelstein Theater: from June 23 to 25, Lisa Kron and Peter Lerman’s Stilyagi (an adaptation of the film The Hipsters); from June 30 to July 2, This Ain’t No Disco, from the co-creator of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and the director of Six Degrees of Separation; and from July 27 to 29, The Secret Life of Bees, written by twotime Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Lynn Nottage, with lyrics by Tony and Drama Desk nominee Susan Birkenhead

This Powerhouse season will include a musical version of The Secret Life of Bees, written by two-time Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Lynn Nottage and composed by Duncan Sheik.

WOODSTOCK SITE NAMED TO NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES

T

he site of the 1969 Woodstock festival has been officially placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places in what amounts to a formal recognition of the spot’s significance in American history. The Sullivan County site, now home to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, is 10 miles west of Monticello on Rt. 17B and more than 50 miles southwest of the festival’s namesake town. In August 1969, more than 400,000 people traveled to Max Yasgur’s dairy farm for the now-famous three-day music festival. Darlene Fedun, chief executive officer of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, said, “We are thrilled to be officially placed on the National Register. We take our role as stewards of the land very seriously, and have done so since the beginning. We understand how important the festival was to American history and Sullivan County’s, and we use that as inspiration for all that we do.” The Museum at Bethel Woods explores the social, political, cultural and musical transformations of the ’60s while drawing connections to the world today. It features a permanent collection, evolving exhibits and programs. Visit www.bethelwoodscenter. org for hours and additional information.

The annual Readings Festival, split between two weekends (June 23-25 and July 21-23), will include: Amy and the Orphans by Lindsey Ferrentino, directed by Scott Ellis; Little Orphan Danny, with book, music and lyrics by Dan Finnerty, directed by Sean Daniels; Ironweed by William Kennedy and Jodie Markell, based on the novel by William Kennedy, directed by Jodie Markell; Paris, Actors by Hamish Linklater; Serious Moonlight by Adrienne Shelly, co-adapted by Liz Tuccillo and Andy Ostroy; Jane Says by Diana Son; Kid Prince and Pablo by Brian Quijada; and additional projects to be announced. This summer’s “Inside Look” workshops to be presented in the Susan Stein Shiva Theater include The Great Leap by Lauren Yee (July 7-9) and Hang Man (July 2830) by Stacy Osei-Kuffour. The Great Leap tells the unlikely story of Manford Lum (based on Yee’s father), in which a legend on the sidewalk basketball courts of San Francisco’s Chinatown talks his way onto a college team, just before they travel to Beijing for a “friendship” game. In Hang Man, a black man is found hanging from a tree in the backwoods of present-day Mississippi. But nothing is quite what it seems in this surreal, funny portrait of a small town.

festival with the larger social agenda is back in 2017 and armed for bear. Always misperceived as primarily a doctrinal folk and bluegrass festival because of its tight association with the late and legendary Peter Seeger, Clearwater hasn’t actually fit that particular description for many years. It is, in fact, one of the most inclusively curated and globally sourced festivals anywhere. It is also completely unintimidated by drums and guitar amplifiers.

I love this year’s lineup. You’ve got genredefying rock royalty in Richard Thompson and Los Lobos. You’ve got a generational craftsman and a New Wave icon in Nick Lowe. Next-gen progressive folksters such as Lake Street Dive, Josh Ritter and Alejandro Escoveda abound. The old masters are vibrantly represented, from Arlo Guthrie, Tom Chapin, Tom Paxton and David Amram to the great rural blues heir Josh White, Jr. The local resident professional scene – Larry Campbell and

C

an you hear it yet? That is the sound of the hills of Hunter Mountain, recently released by the equally mega Taste of Country Festival and now being groomed to rock as Mountain Jam takes over from Thursday, June 15 (indoor shows only) through Sunday, June 18. As usual, there are too many acts, and too various, to make sense of it all here. Saturday’s headliner is Rock Rushmore material: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The String Cheese Incident headlines Friday with two full sets, and Sunday headliners the Steve Miller Band put the whole thing to rest. Other notable performances include Michael Franti and Spearhead, without whom it would not be Mountain Jam; Peter Frampton, Gary Clark, Jr., Seattle’s the Head and the Heart and (of much appeal to this writer) Austin’s livewire rockers White Denim.

ART Sound and vision Improvisational painter Nancy Ostrovsky to perform with percussionist Syd Smart this Saturday at Unison

W

hen I first met artist Nancy Ostrovsky more than 20 years ago, I visited her at her studio in Accord. We talked for hours about her work, she played some of her favorite music for me and she showed me a grainy video of her, painting live, to accompany jazz artists performing in Germany. Like most people, I had never heard of an improvisational live painter and have felt energized – mesmerized, even – each time I’ve watched her do it in the intervening years. Over a career that now spans 35 years, Ostrovsky has established herself as a painter adept at translating sound into vibrant, energetic visuals that, says pianist and composer Michael Cain, “looked like music.” Ostrovsky’s first mini-retrospective, “For the Love of Jazz,” exhibits 18 of her live performance-inspired works at the Unison Arts Center until July 22. “Stuart Bigley [Unison’s co-founder, with his wife Helene] asked me to do a show featuring my music stuff, and it was hard to choose. Some is old stuff – even back to 1976 – and there are a bunch of pieces people haven’t seen. One piece is ten panels from performances with Patrick Cress, a saxophonist from San Francisco; and another, in 1998, from a trio performance featuring [local resident and trombonist] Roswell Rudd. And it’s a thrill to see the large pieces up,” she admits. “It took a lot of thinking and I’m proud of the show. I think it looks pretty good.” A performance at Unison on Saturday, June 17, “Drum Song,” offers a rare opportunity to witness a live duo reunion performance featuring Ostrovsky painting to the music of percussionist Syd Smart. “Syd’s setup is incredible, sculptural, and he has instruments all around him. He turns and plays, and I like his approach. It’s like mine,” Ostrovsky says. “His setup keeps changing, and he’s doing some interesting sonic things with electronic drums, too. He’s a storyteller, and he sings too.” The two friends have worked together for 40 years, since first meeting at Friends of Great Black Music in Boston’s Chinatown. “It’s similar to Art Ensemble of Chicago,” says Ostrovsky, “and I felt at home there, ran the gallery for a while. The school there had eight teachers, and I was the only woman. I taught ‘Drawing for Musicians,’ and we would go into the woods to get branches to dip in ink. Any expectation of what you’re good at goes out the window.” When she first started creating art to live music, she wore black clothes and gloves, and would draw images projected onto a large screen. These raw, experimental projects were conducted with friends working with the Boston Film/Video Foundation and the Massachusetts College of Art. “My work progressed from there, and slowly I started standing up. I learned what works, what drips, what paper to use; and Syd and I worked together in the gallery and classes. The

Improvisational painter Nancy Ostrovsky will perform “Drum Song” with percussionist Syd Smart at Unison in New Paltz this Saturday, June 17, at 8 p.m.

last time we performed together as a duo was at Mohonk in the 1990s, and this will be only the second or third time that we’ve performed together, just the two of us.” They will perform for an hour, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ostrovsky’s once-compact studio has since been transformed into a cozy Airbnb, and her studio space is now ensconced in the home that she has shared for nearly 30 years with inventor and wrestler Paul Widerman. “I have a 34-foot wall with no windows or doors in my studio now, and I make a lot of stuff,” she says. “With my studio in my house, I live with stuff, walk by it all the time. It used to be that when I would go out with my kids, dressed up, I would come home and get paint on my clothes. Now I have a box of paint clothes, and I get out of my good clothes before getting into the paints.” A second Ostrovsky show, “Birds, Horses and Humans,” represents work produced in the last year in her studio. It’s on exhibit at the Ruby Gallery in Kingston through July 22. “I purposefully put animals before humans with respect,” she says, owing to what she calls our challenging political situation in America, because “maybe they know more than we do.” Figures with human heads atop the bodies of horses and birds; feathers from a friend’s peacock; inspiration from photos of exotic species that are unbelievably real. Eventually, she arrived at the feeling that animals have much to teach humans about optimism, hope, strength, courage and community. “Someone recently said to me, ‘I wish there was more fake news, because I can’t take this reality,’” she says. The show, which constitutes a look back on her past year, was informed by her personal life. “My dad died last year, and he was one of the kindest, smartest, funniest guys,” she says. “You think you’re prepared [for the passing of a parent], but you’re not. All the clichés are true; and, though I’m not that much into religion, the Jewish faith says it takes a year for mourning. I gave myself until May 30. Grief, missing him, just comes up, and you never know what will trigger it.” Referencing the Leroy Jenkins tune “Why Am I Here?” Ostrovsky adds, “I work in a lot of different mediums, and I’m trying to merge some of them.” With creative urges ever-present and juxtaposed against all the time and preparations

required to mount her two current shows, she can’t wait to start working again. “I work every day, and sometimes I’ll get hooked by something and be on a roll. I work on paper or ink always, and canvas projects take more time,” she says. Looking back, Ostrovsky points to a few memorable highlights, such as a live painting performance in duo with Stan Strickland at the Cambridge Multicultural Center in 2010 as part of a “Sights and Sounds” event. “I knew right away that it would be an amazing experience when I saw five or six seeing-eye dogs coming in with people who could only see an inch from their faces. They would touch my clothes full of paint, and get up really close with the art. It was incredibly moving,” she recalls. She also performed with blind pianist Henry Butler for a “Very Special Arts” event attended by people who didn’t have all their senses. “Deaf audience members would be able to see me, but there was a lip reader and stenographer onstage. People who could hear, but not see, heard visual descriptions every 15 minutes about what was going on, what people were wearing, colors, what the artist was doing.” And, in 2016, she broke another art-andsound barrier: she performed with Czech violinist, singer and composer Iva Bittova and bassist/composer Michael Bisio at Jazz at Lincoln Center – the first time the iconic organization featured a live painter. Upcoming, as part of the “Express Yourself ” series at the Wang Theater in Boston, she’ll return as guest artist in 2019. “Michelle Obama gave them an award [via the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities] for their work with emotionally challenged kids,” Ostrovsky says. “Some of the kids are in hospitals, and art saves lives. Art. Saves. Lives,” she repeats. Her deep awareness of how much she receives from music’s presence in her life “helps my work be honest and direct, and I feel really blessed. Painting to live music is my way to honor that,” Ostrovsky says. “I didn’t honor performance painting properly at first – it’s not like studio work – and I had to learn to respect that part of myself. That took time, and the medium tells you a lot. I like to explore, and performing live taught me a lot about letting go, when to stop, all those aspects.” Asked what she wished she’d known

when she was just beginning, she laughs. “Do you have a week? I have a whole list!” Then, pausing to contemplate, she adds, “It taught me to value myself more. I’ve lightened up. I was very critical of my progress: Is it good enough? Now I just want to make it easier, to get my work out into the world, maybe look for a gallery… This is how long it took me.” – Debra Bresnan “For the Love of Jazz” runs through July 7 and “Drum Song,” a live duo performance featuring Syd Smart (percussion) and Nancy Ostrovsky (paints) on Saturday, June 17 at 8 p.m., will be held at Unison Arts Center at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz.

Stanley Zaborski , owner of Zaborski's Emporium in Kingston

Stan the junk man Kingston’s prince of repurposing surveys his collection at Zaborski's Emporium

Y

ears ago and far away – I’m talking a small town in northern California in the 1960s –an auto junkyard sat on the highway on property deemed not much good for anything else. It was owned and operated by a guy fondly called Junkie George. His personality was a bit odd, but he was embraced by counterculture types because of the emerging social push to reuse and recycle materials. Plus, we all drove marginally functional used cars that could still be worked on by non-professionals. Junkie George had the parts. He was an icon, if not a local hero. A few years before that, my dad took me to another sort of junkyard to buy parts for a bicycle. I watched him pick fenders and cranks and handlebars from the milieu, take them home to the garage and assemble them into a new bike for me, which we painted royal blue. I was in kid heaven. Nobody else had a bike like mine, and I still hold fond memories of wandering around the junkyard with my Dad in search of the right components. What is it about other people’s cast-off

stuff that attracts us? It might be a matter of pricing. You can build a bicycle, or buy a used one, for a fraction of the cost of purchasing something new. Or buying used might be a matter of ecological integrity. Reusing material goods can accomplish two things: It can reduce consumer demand in a supply-and-demand economy and thereby lower the amount of refuse that goes into landfills (incrementally, that is). Anyone who frequents yard sales and secondhand stores knows that something else is up. I’m talking about the welcome surprise of finding a great bargain on an item you really need – or on an item you didn’t know you needed until now, but can’t pass up because of the ridiculously low price. The fact that you kept this particular chandelier or commode out of a landfill is secondary. The real satisfaction lies in the appreciation you have for the item itself. It’s perfect. You’ve always wanted one like this. In Kingston, Stanley Zaborski has amassed enough used goods to last multiple lifetimes. In fact, he has been in the salvage business for a long time, and admits to having had aspirations for the business when he was just a kid. “I dreamt of this business in grade school, doing something like this. Not this big, but…My father was a baker. He had a bakery shop on Wall Street Uptown, and when they raised his rent too high, he went to the Town of Ulster and opened up a bakery up there. And then the bakeries were dying, because Shop-Rite and Grand Union started putting their own bakeries in.” The kicker, he tells me, was when the family doctor told his dad that he could buy his kids cheaper donuts in a box, and they wouldn’t know the difference. This revelation occurred in the day of house calls – another bygone practice: Doctors who would come treat your kids in your own home. The senior Stanley Zaborski “took that to heart” and began putting sale signs up for bicycles, baskets, you name

it. He opened his antiques and salvage business on Albany Avenue in 1962. The rest, as they say, comprises a history spread out over close to 40,000 square feet of warehouse storage. Zaborski’s Emporium in Kingston can hardly be called a “showroom,” but if you stroll up and down the jam-packed aisles long enough, you get a sense of organization. Each of the four floors is loosely designated by category to hold bathtubs, pedestal sinks, cast-iron kitchen sinks, vintage light fixtures (tons of these), doorknobs, porch columns, fireplace façades and accoutrements, sets of pocket doors, more hardware than imaginable, furniture, kitchenware, dishes, tools, library ladders, cast-iron radiators, memorabilia signage, framed artworks, weathervanes, wrought-iron

railings and other architectural elements, knickknacks, geedunks. Some of the aisles are difficult to navigate, with products leaning against shelves and stacked on top of each other – particularly if your eye has wandered skyward to behold the thousands of goodies hanging from the rafters: ice skates, pulleys, faucet parts. Zaborski says, “In the basement, there are thousands of doors, radiators and windows. I’ve been in Kingston for 22 years, and I bought the building in ’98, ’99. There were tenants here; Gateway Industries was here for five years, and a butcher-block company. I almost sold the building to the church in back of us, but they didn’t get their financing.” I asked if turning the entire space into an “emporium” of antiques and salvage

goods is what he has always had in mind. “Yes. In the beginning we went out and did the salvage, but it got to be too much.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

I find I can buy it from the guys doing the salvaging, and don’t have to worry about… you know, we’re insurance-broke

now. It’s mind-boggling.” I asked how he figured out how to organize the merchandise. “At first I was building shelves in there, and it turned out to be wrong. I had to put pallet racking in that was more substantial. It’s outta hand right now. I bought so much stuff in the past year. More or less, people call me and say, ‘Hey, we’re selling the house. We’ve got stuff we want to get rid of.’ I’ll go take a look at it. The lawyers call me to do appraisals on estates, and sometimes I can buy what I’ve appraised. Other dealers call me, saying, ‘We bought a whole load of stuff; we’ve got bathtubs, sinks – your kind of stuff.’ “My wife Sandy considers herself to be my ‘brake.’ She’s the one who tells me not to buy this, not to buy that; she is the emergency brake. But I go around her. The suppliers all know me; they know what I’ll buy. All I gotta do is give a little signal and it’s mine. They’ll bring it in when she’s

13

gone. I always tell her, though; she knows.” Zaborski doesn’t take just anything and everything, incriminating evidence aside. “I don’t take upholstered furniture. We don’t take a lot of the toilets anymore; it’s all different, the laws. That’s about it. The market has steered us away from antiques. Antiques are basically dead. The Depression glass, the carnival glass, brown furniture – it’s all dead. When my wife’s Mom died, she had beautiful antiques. We gave it to an auctioneer, and they got pennies. It was in Florida; the brown furniture doesn’t belong there. He even took some of it up to Boston. It’s just dead.” Recalling when salvagers would drive out to the Midwest and bring truckloads of potential merchandise to New York or drive it out to dealers in California, he says, “It’s done. There’s nobody filling up the trucks. We used to buy containerloads – not me personally, but people would buy from Denmark, France and England and bring it in. Now we’ve got reproduction stuff from China, and that’s not even going anymore.” Pricing has become much easier for Zaborski, who no longer has to plow through books to find the value of an item. He’s computer-savvy enough to look up prices and sales amounts online, which gives him a much more accurate idea of an item’s resale value. Before I leave, he takes me up a cargo elevator and leads me through a crowded aisle to a locked door. Inside is Zaborski’s playroom: a fully tricked-out display of standard-gauge train cars and a roomsized track. Light floods through a wall of windows where he can unwind from the stresses of accumulating and reselling the world’s junk. A man needs his hobbies. – Ann Hutton Zaborski Emporium, Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday, 1-5 p.m., 27 Hoffman Street, Kingston; (845) 3386465, stanthejunkman.com.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Stalking the tame asparagus It tastes much better fresh-picked from your garden

N

ot to be an ingrate or a braggart, but the asparagus some friends recently brought over for our shared dinner didn’t compare with my homegrown asparagus. Not that the friends’ asparagus wasn’t good; theirs came from a local farm, so I assume that harvest occurred within the previous 24 hours. But the stalks of my asparagus are snapped off the plants within 100 feet of the kitchen door, clocking in at anywhere from a few minutes to an hour of time before they’re eaten. It’s not my green thumb that makes my asparagus taste so good; it’s the fact that I can harvest it within 100 feet of my kitchen door. But don’t take my word for it. Research has shown that asparagus spears begin to age as soon as they’re picked, the stalks toughening and sugars disappearing, and bitterness, sourness and off-flavors beginning to develop. Yum.

Taste is just one of the many reasons to plant asparagus. Here’s more: Deer and other wildlife leave it alone, so it doesn’t need to be corralled within a fence; the ferny foliage that needs to be allowed to grow after harvest ends in early July makes a soft green backdrop for colorful flowers; a planting can pump out stalks from the end of April till the end of June (around here) for decades. Asparagus’ two potential problems are relatively minor. The first is asparagus beetle, a beetle whose eggs, which look like black specks on the stalks, hatch into sluglike young that feed on the stalks. I keep this bugger in check by picking every single stalk – even spindly, inedible ones – every time the bed is harvested. The beetle, then, has nowhere to lay her eggs (not in my bed, least; she can seek out some wild asparagus here and there). And then, at the end of the season, I cut down all the browned ferny foliage and cart it over to the compost pile, in whose depths the adults – some of which

overwinter in the old stalks – meet their demise. No pesticides, organic or otherwise, have ever been sprayed on my asparagus, so natural predators also can do their share of making asparagus beetles a non-issue. Handpicking beetles and larvae, which I’ve never had to resort to, is another way to keep the beetles in check. (My ducks may have a “hand” in that.) Weeds are the other potential problem in an asparagus bed. One of the worst

weeds in any bed is…asparagus! Each red berry dangling from the stems of a female asparagus plant houses a number of seeds that, once they hit ground level, can sprout to make new plants. The cure is to plant an all-male variety of asparagus, such as Jersey Giant or Jersey Prince. Unfortunately, a package of an all-male variety can contain a few females. So, in addition to planting an all-male variety, the cure for weeds is straightforward: Weed! I keep my bed regularly weeded during harvest season, then only occasionally weeded once fronds start to make the bed almost impenetrable. The slow-but-steadily-increasing warmth this spring has been ideal for tree fruits (not so much the rainy weather). A bumper crop of fruitlets perches on branches of my apple and pear trees. It’s time to remove most of them. These plants are genetically programmed to set more fruits than they could possibly have the energy to ripen. Spring presents many hazards to those blossoms, including killing freezes and insect pests. So, come June, when some of these threats have passed, fruit trees naturally shed excess developing fruitlets – but not enough. The trees’ goals are to make seeds to make new trees. The seeds are enclosed within fruits that appeal to wildlife, who then help disperse the seeds. Those fruits might be good enough for wildlife, but not for you and me. For larger and more flavorful fruits, even more need to be removed than are shed by the “June drop.” Only five to ten percent of apple blossoms need to set fruit for a full crop. So I’m spending some time pinching or snipping off excess fruitlets, saving those that are largest and most free from blemishes, with a few inches between those that are left. Fruit thinning is not only for flavor. A

Asparagus doesn’t mind hot or cool weather. The cool weather does slow down spear production, which made for insufficient harvest to share the day my friends came to dinner.

NIGHT SKY

The universe from your home When a telescope works, and when it doesn’t

I

n an old trunk, I found a pencil sketch of the crater Copernicus. I’d made it at the eyepiece of my little telescope when I was 15. I’ve loved that crater my whole life. It reminded me how much lunar detail is available with a cheap backyard telescope. I know that many readers have an old telescope sitting around. Others may be considering buying one. If you want the true story, pull up a chair. Except when the Moon is full and all detail vanishes, lunar mountains and craters can be exquisite even through a $200 telescope. And the Moon is so bright, you don’t need dark unpolluted conditions. It looks just as good from a city rooftop. In the 1940s and 1950s, amateur astronomers bought refractors – the kind with a long skinny tube that you look through. With the main objective lens on one side and your eyepiece at the other, it has no mirrors that need periodic collimation, and the lack of a secondary mirror produces highcontrast detail on the Moon and planets. The only affordable sizes were 60 mm and 80 mm, meaning 2.4 inches and 3 inches. The high-end brand was Unitron. In the 1960s, the value of “aperture” could no longer be ignored. Aperture means the diameter of the main lens or mirror, which shows itself as the fatness of the telescope. That reveals an instrument’s true power. The bigger the aperture, the more you can see. You need a six-inch aperture to make the best star groupings, called globular clusters, look like balls of stars and not just blurry blobs. But a six-inch refractor was so expensive that only universities could afford them. Then a flurry of new companies arose, which built fairly inexpensive high-quality reflecting telescopes in the six-to-teninch range. They even had “clock drives” with electric motors that tracked your target. With names like Criterion Dynascope, Cave Astrola, Parks and Starliner, everyone started buying reflectors. Refractors disappeared. In the 1970s, yet another telescope revolution unfolded. Two companies, Meade and Celestron, produced Schmidt Cassegrain telescopes with mostly eight-inch apertures. The light rays bounced back and forth inside their “folded optics,” allowing them to have short tubes and a measure of portability. Their $1,200-to-$1,500 pricetags were not cheap, but suddenly they were everywhere. In the 1990s, fashions swung back to reflectors, which started to be manufactured in larger sizes of eight to 12 inches, and often sold on a cheaply made lazy-Susan type of swivel platform called the “Dobsonian mount.” (When John Dobson visited me and my observatory a decade ago, even he disparaged his famous eponymous mount as having only the virtue of low cost.)

Astronomer Bob Berman at his Overlook Observatory, scoping for Copernicus

In the last 15 years, refractors have come back with a vengeance. Now manufactured with far-better “Apochromatic” optics and wide-angle eyepieces, a flurry of new companies started to make high-quality three-inch refractors for an affordable $300 or $400. At the same time, two high-end companies, Astrophysics and Takahashi, manufactured truly exquisite research-grade refractors in even four-inch, five-inch and six-inch sizes, on heavy professional mounts. They cost small fortunes, however. And that’s where we stand today. If you’re a beginner, I’d recommend phoning Orion Telescopes and considering their three-inch refractor on a good solid mount for under $400. If money is no object and you want the best, you’ll sometimes find a used Takahashi four-inch or even five-inch refractor for around $5,000 (brand-new, they cost $10,000). I went a little crazy and mounted one of those on top of my 12.5-inch research-grade 12.5inch reflector. But the views are so sharp, I rarely stop smiling at the eyepiece. Now for the negatives: You can’t point a telescope through a closed or even open window, because of blurry air currents. You have to lug it outside. They can be heavy – especially if yours has the kind of mount that will let you easily track your target as it slowly moves across the sky: an equatorial mount. Some people buy so-called “go-to” telescopes, but I hear nothing but bad things from the owners. There are several setup steps each time you use it, such as first pointing it to a series of alignment stars in the sky, and can you find those? No, I’d forget the go-to business and simply get an equatorial mount and learn how to use it, which is not hard. In sum, if you want to spend under $500, get a three-inch refractor on an equatorial mount, and just know that you won’t see detail in galaxies and such. But you will have a lifetime of very satisfying views of the Moon, planets and colorful double stars. – Bob Berman

If you’re a beginner, I’d recommend phoning Orion Telescopes and considering their three-inch refractor on a good solid mount.

DANCE

BALLETNEXT PREMIERES THE GAME THIS WEEKEND AT KAATSBAAN IN TIVOLI

T

he Kaatsbaan International Dance Center’s final spring-season performances feature virtuoso Brooklyn Flex dancer Jay Donn, who joins BalletNext in The Game, a choreographed mashup of two divergent styles of dance. This Saturday and Sunday, The Game premieres in the Kaatsbaan Black-Box Theatre, a room where every audience member is guaranteed prime seating. The theatre has a performance floor the size of the stage at the Metropolitan Opera: ample room for Donn to accomplish “these aerodynamic, daredevilish moves that catch your attention.� So says BalletNext founder and artistic director Michele Wiles, an award-winning former principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre. Wiles founded BalletNext in 2011 to create a space for leading dancers, choreographers and musicians to experiment together. Resulting new work involves creative problem-solving and requires an intense focus on process. Working at Kaatsbaan for a weeklong creative residency to produce and perform is exactly right. “We’ve performed at Kaatsbaan every year for six years, and often stay there to work in residence more than once a year,� says Wiles. Developed by Reggie Gray, Flex is a style wherein the dancers’ bodies become “a type of vocabulary,� and where the sheer artistry of physical stunts combined with intimate vignettes describe “joy and humor, but also strife and subjugation. Flex addresses issues in our community head-on,� Gray said. “The striving, the struggles, the successes, the shootings – we want to show it all.� Flex dancing is a form that has its base in Jamaica and has been refined on the streets of East Brooklyn, “where dancers create stories and express themselves in a positive way,� says Wiles. She recognizes Donn as a champion of the form and applauds his passion, energy and virtuosic technique. “And those arm movements! Flex is a lot about the upper body; ballet is more about the legs. We’re teaching each other and creating a new language as we choreograph new work. “We’ll also perform our signature La Follia, a duet for two women, created by Mauro Bigonzetti. He’s all about physicality,� she adds. It’s said that Wiles embraces risk and pushes boundaries in pairing classically trained dancers with live musicians in a collaborative setting. The evidence will soon be revealed. – Ann Hutton BalletNext premiere: The Game, Saturday, June 17, 7:30 p.m., Sunday, June 18, 2:30 p.m., $30/$10, Kaatsbaan International Dance Center, 120 Broadway, Tivoli; (845) 757-5106, www.kaatsbaan.org/events.html.

Animals

FOR ADOPTION- 2 sweet Cat Brothers and a loving Lab Mix. I must move because of health reasons. Please let me know if you can give my sweet boys loving homes for the rest of their lives. BOSS and KITTY are 4-year old cat brothers who love to cuddle, wrestle & sleep together. They’re very sweet, well behaved cats, neutered, up to date w/ shots, litter pan trained, good w/dogs & other cats as long as they aren’t bullies. BARRON is 3-years old, neutered & up to date w/shots. We think he’s a Lab mix, 63 pounds, loves to go on walks, hikes & enjoys play dates w/other dogs. He likes to play w/his ball and chew on bones. When he has a ball or bone in his mouth, he parades it around so everyone can see. If you’d like more information about my sweet animals, please text or call my friend at 917-282-2018 or email DRJLPK@aol.com
