he 27th annual Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 7 to 9, with hot-air balloonists from all over the country converging on our region to float en masse above the Hudson River. More than 100 balloon takeoffs are scheduled, weather permitting. Free morning balloon launches will take place at 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, with viewpoints all around the area. Sponsored by the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, the threeday event is centered around a family-friendly festival held at Barton Orchards on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with afternoon balloon launches at 6 p.m. General admission costs $12 at the gate or $10 in advance, or $17.95 for a weekend pass.

Activities at Barton Orchards include live music, a petting zoo, hayrides, a haunted house, gemstone mining, shooting gallery, pedal carts for kids and adults, bouncy ponies, a rope maze, labyrinth, big tube slides and games. Additional happenings of interest include Moon Glow launches on both Friday and Saturday nights this year, featuring the stunning spectacle of balloons lit up after dark. Tether rides on balloons (tied securely to the ground with ropes that allow for just enough liftoff to give riders a thrill) will cost $20 (cash only). And for a fee of $225, actual rides-in-the-sky in the hot-air balloons are available. Private helicopter pilots will also be on to charter rides.

High Falls Fair Day this Saturday High Falls Fair Day returns to the hamlet this Saturday, July 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The day will begin with
the Grand Opening of the new Route 213 bridge. That is quite the cause for celebration, given that with the bridge being the gateway to town, High Falls has been basically cut off from the rest of the world since January, when the old bridge was demolished and work began on the new one. The festival promises to be an oldfashioned celebration of the simple joys of small-town life. Visitors can expect live music, craft vendors, a petting zoo, a dunking booth, 50/50 raffle, food vendors and a flea market. Admission is free. The ceremony officially opening the new bridge over the Rondout Creek will include a ribbon-cutting, as well as a blessing of the waters and a bridge ritual by people of the Ramapough tribe.

SAWYER MOTORS CAR SHOW IN SAUGERTIES
C
lassic-car enthusiasts have been known to travel from great distances to attend the annual Sawyer Motors Car Show in Saugerties. This year’s event on Sunday, July 9 from 1 to 6 p.m. will be the 14th outing for the event, expected to bring more than 500 antique, hot rod and classic cars to line the village streets in all their gleaming glory. Traffic will be shut down on Main and Partition Streets, although shops and restaurants remain open for business and welcome visitors. Outside food vendors aren’t brought into the village on Car Show day, as local-business-friendly event organizer Bob Siracusano would rather see the village restaurants have a profitable day. Fifty trophies will be awarded to the best of the best car entries, and live entertainment will go on nonstop. Spectator admission is free. Proceeds from registration go to the Sawyer Automotive Foundation, which supports local charities that include the Saugerties Boys & Girls Club, Saugerties Animal Shelter and Ulster County SPCA, Operation SOS (“Support Our Servicemen and Women”) and the United Way of Ulster County Veterans’ Shelter. More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the show.

The Rosendale Theatre Collective is hosting a Swing and Motown Dance Party featuring the seven-piece band Soul Purpose on Friday, July 7 at 8 p.m. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Rosendale Theatre on Main Street. As both a movie theater that screens off-the-beaten-path films and a venue for unique theatrical experiences, the three-story, 260-seat Rosendale Theatre is one-of-a-kind. The nonprofit Rosendale Theatre Collective has worked hard to maintain the property’s historic aspects and bring the facilities up to date since taking ownership in 2010, but renovations to vintage moviehouses and vaudeville stages don’t come cheap. “We’re always growing and improving,” says Ann Citron, the Theatre’s managing director. “And your community theatre needs your help! Come dance the night away and lend your support.” Tickets cost $25 at the door or $20 with advance purchase from the box office or online from Brown Paper Tickets at http://bit.ly/2sK9QIx.

TALENT, Vladimir Feltsman observes, does not recognize economic classes.
A dream realized Now tuition-free, Vladimir Feltsman’s PianoSummer brings top emerging pianists from all over the world to SUNY-New Paltz
F
or the world-renowned pianist and PianoSummer artistic director Vladimir Feltsman, the decision was what we might call a no-brainer: For a number of years, the SUNY-New Paltz-based piano festival has concluded with the Symphony Gala, a collaboration with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic in which the winner of PianoSummer’s Jacob Flier Competition would perform a piano concerto with the Bardavon-headquartered orchestra. It was a celebratory and popular finish to the internationally recognized July piano festival that the Russian émigré Feltsman founded 23 years ago, seven years after his arrival at SUNY-New Paltz. This year, however, due to some generous gifts bequeathed to the Feltsman Piano Foundation, he suddenly found himself in a position to a realize a longstanding goal: making PianoSummer tuitionand board-free for all of its 25 students (gifted and emerging pianists under the age of 35). While Feltsman concedes that he hated to lose the Symphony Gala in order to marshal the funds to go tuitionfree, he asserts that “PianoSummer has never been about anything glamorous. The decision was an easy one.”
We’ve Moved! Saker Guitar Works is now located at

Each July on the SUNY-New Paltz campus, Russian émigré pianist Vladimir Feltsman (above) presents PianoSummer, which combines a summer institute for up-and-coming young pianists from all over the world with a festival of performances by a distinguished faculty and visiting artists. Feltsman is especially excited this year because PianoSummer is now tuition- and board-free for all of its students. He is also eager to welcome Ilya Rashkovskiy for a Guest Artist Recital on Saturday, July 22 at 7 p.m. at McKenna Theatre. All PianoSummer performances are open to the public, and the excellent student recitals are free. For more information, call (845) 257-3880.
Talent, Vladimir Feltsman observes, does not recognize economic classes. “For years we have welcomed members and ticketholders with the wish that PianoSummer might someday be able to attract the top emerging young pianists from around the world based solely on their ability to play, not on their ability to pay,” he said. “Each year, with their support, we have moved closer to reaching that goal. This year, we have finally achieved it.” Now, with what is in effect a full scholarship program, PianoSummer is positioned to compete for all of the top young pianists worldwide, not simply those with means. Among the ranks of

young pianists, the festival is already wellknown for its extraordinary rigor and for the quality of the faculty it attracts. While bigger festivals like the Aspen Piano Festival may enjoy deeper pockets for scholarships and bigger crowds, PianoSummer has, if anything, a superior reputation for the learning experience it offers. E a c h PianoSummer student will receive no fewer than 50 lessons over the course of the program, and from no fewer than five different master teachers (by contrast, Aspen students receive one lesson a week from one teacher). This, Feltsman emphasizes, is what distinguishes this festival. Not only are the students immersed in intensive learning, but they are also gaining radically different and sometimesconflicting perspectives on technique and the interpretation of, say, Chopin or Beethoven. Regarding taste and artistic approach, “None of us,” Feltsman says, “has any exclusivity of truth.” Prestigious as it may be, PianoSummer is at its heart a family operation, run by Feltsman and his wife, Haewon. Vladimir controls all artistic decisions; Haewon manages the festival’s rather complex logistics. The festival includes three weeks of intensive lessons, given by an exceptional faculty, and the annual Jacob Flier Piano Competition for pianists under the age of 35. This year the Flier Competition carries a new first prize: a solo debut recital at Carnegie Hall in New York City. PianoSummer also brings a series of marquee public concerts given by an exceptional special guest performer, previous years’ Flier Competition winners and PianoSummer faculty. Among the featured events on this year’s schedule are the Faculty Gala, taking place on Saturday, July 15 at 7 p.m. in the McKenna Theatre, a chance to hear a broad range of classical music performed by six master pianists

The visionary novelist and cyberpunk William Gibson famously wrote, “I have always maintained that Steely Dan’s music was, has been and remains among the most genuinely subversive oeuvres in late-20th-century pop.”
MUSIC
STEELY DAN TRIBUTE THIS SATURDAY AT THE FALCON
M
usical reputations have cycles, oscillations, peaks and troughs. It can get pretty rough in the troughs. But no matter where in the culture cycle the music of Steely Dan is at any given moment (my street sense suggests that this has been a down period for their legacy; I have detected a kind of venom afoot that used to be reserved for the Grateful Dead alone), Fagan and Becker and their luxury fleet of sidemen will always enjoy the undying loyalty, gratitude and fervent advocacy of one particular niche audience: the ones we call “players.” By this we mean not just anyone/everyone who plays an instrument well, but… you know, players, the cats: trained at Berklee and other elite Jazz Studies and Commercial Music programs (Purchase these days), or else self-taught with a chip on the shoulder, veterans of studio work and road gigs, the I-could-cut-thisturkey-with-a-dull-butter-knife players, hopping from singer/songwriter gig to singer/songwriter gig, maybe not even bothering to pretend that they like that sh*t anymore, but the fact is that only Wayne Shorter gets to live like Wayne Shorter. There are, at any given time, about 12 people in the world making a good living off the kind of music that the player wishes she could play for a living. When their ears have druthers, players can like some pretty dubious pop music at times (Toto, for example). But among pop groups and singer/songwriters, Steely Dan is a Parthenon outfit: finally, a pop group with hits – many hits over many years – that is completely player-safe and player-certified. It is not just that the Dan commanded a slick and deceptively dissonant jazz harmony in pop and rock contexts in a way that was really startling and cool and right at the center of the musical action of the 20th century; it is not just Steve Gadd, Chuck Rainey, Larry Carlton, Skunk Baxter, Jay Graydon and you-name-it (Wayne Shorter, for example) played with great character and taste on their records. It is also that Fagan is in fact a wry, dark and legit post-Beat poet of some kind – a deceptively dangerous and discomfiting soul, if you really look into his lyrics. In other words, Steely Dan is one of the very few musically sophisticated groups of their era with lyrical content and personae that lived up to the sophistication and quietly revolutionary nature of the music. There’s Joni Mitchell, and who else? The visionary novelist and cyberpunk William Gibson famously wrote, “I have always maintained that Steely Dan’s music was, has been and remains among the most genuinely subversive oeuvres in late-20th-century pop.” For this reason, I will go on record here that the Steely Dan music legacy will never get stuck, as some legacies do, in a permanent or purgatorial trough. Finally, at the end of the day, they were just too weird and formidable for that. Their music will always be divisive, always be misunderstood as slick and smooth; but it will never be insignificant. The other thing about the Dan: Not everyone can play it. It’s hard. The Falcon hosts “Reelin’ in the Years,” an all-star Steely Dan tribute show on Saturday, July 8 at 7 p.m. The cast assembled includes some of the A-list area players, like the rock-star drummer Jerry Marotta, the great bassist and producer Scott Petito (who always seems to be at the center of these things), ace saxophonist Jay Collins, Rundgren sideman Jesse Gress, the awesome jazz guitarist/composer Matt Finck and many more. Be assured that these cats will not take it lightly. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www.liveatthefalcon.com. – John Burdick

Feltsman is keen to point that the festival’s student
recitals and master classes should not be dismissed by the public. The talent level of the students is exceptionally high, and the student recitals are free. Feltsman is a decorated concert pianist and a prolific recording artist. Why is the grueling work of PianoSummer so important to him? “I learned,” he says, “from my own great teachers, and from

measure of this massive undertaking. The quality of acts is superb, with an emphasis on world-class jazz but a scope that includes far more than jazz. The Festival kicks off with a personal favorite of mine, the great jazz pianist Dan Tepfer, revisiting his novel Goldberg Variations/Variations on Saturday, July 8 at 8 p.m. at the Windham Civic Centre Concert Hall, located at 5379 Route 23 in Windham. Tepfer alternates between quite-credible performances of Bach’s famous variations (at one time the quarry of Glenn Gould and a few others with the technical facility to handle them) and modern improvisations on Bach’s themes by a truly liberated improvisor.

BETHEL WOODS HOSTS JOHN MELLENCAMP AND EMMYLOU HARRIS THIS FRIDAY
I
haven’t always loved John Mellencamp, but since reading an interview with the newly minted senior citizen in a seniors’ magazine while waiting in a podiatrist’s lobby, I am down. Mellencamp finds being a rock star more or less a bother. He’d rather just paint; but the songs keep coming, and something must be done with them. He keeps good company on his tours these days. This Friday, July 7, Mellencamp brings the Sad Clowns and Hillbillies tour – also featuring Emmylou Harris and Carlene Carter – to the big shed at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel. The gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30. Ticket prices range from $41 to $147 for this Pavilion show. For more information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org.

New world-class theater – full productions and staged readings – rolls on all summer long at Vassar’s Powerhouse. From now through July 9, television star Joshua Radner’s new play Sacred Valley will be performed in the Powerhouse Theater. Directed by Sheryl Kaller, the bittersweet comedy deals with the ramifications of a mushroom trip gone awry and the disruptions that it causes in a tight circle of friends and lovers. On the weekend of July 7 through 9, Lauren Yee’s The Great Leap will be produced in the Susan Stein Shiva Theater. Directed by Will Davis, The Great Leap tells the story of Manford Lum, a kid locally renowned on the sidewalk basketball courts of Chinatown who talks his way onto a college team, just before they travel to Beijing for a “friendship” game. When they arrive, China is in the throes of the post-Cultural Revolution era, and Manford must juggle international politics and his own personal history.

to see another one of their ilk. Dear Reader, I was wrong, and at least a few of you fellow art-house cineastes are wrong along with me. So it is to you that I preach today: You absolutely do need to see Baby Driver. The car-chase-movie fans were already out there in the cinemaplexes on opening weekend, so they don’t need to hear this from me. You do. Yes, the flick is loaded bumper-tobumper with screeching, crunching chase scenes – way too many of them, really. But they’re taken to their cinematic apotheosis by director Edgar Wright and his crew. You know that opening number of La La Land, where all the occupants of cars stuck in a freeway traffic jam jump out and prove themselves to be incredible dancers and gymnasts? Imagine that scene, only with the cars dancing as well, everyone absolutely on the beat. That’s sort of what Baby Driver is like. It’s all about cinema as a rhythmic artform. And it will rock your socks off. Wright is primarily known as a purveyor of off-the-wall British cult comedies, notably the three films that make up the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World’s End (2013). But he also has a background in making music videos, and there’s a level on which Baby Driver

seems like the product of a brainstorming session on the subject, “What would it be like to make a featurelength music video? Could we sustain that perfect pacing for an hour-and-a-half?� The answer is: Yes they could, and they did. The results are a stunning example of what can be achieved with top-tier cinematic craftsmanship. Ev e r y w h i t e knuckled swerve of the getaway car, every step or turn of an actor, every word or pause of dialogue is choreographed so exquisitely to the bouncy pop soundtrack that you will be awestruck. If this movie doesn’t pick up a slew of awards for editing and sound editing (not to mention direction), I’ll eat my iPod. Aside from being a ceaselessly pleasurable meditation on the possibilities of visual rhythm, Baby Driver is also
very wittily written, full of juicy nuggets of criminal argot. The story is nothing especially original: Orphaned boy drawn into life of crime, meets nice girl, tries to extricate himself from bad company, encounters and overcomes obstacles. But it’s darkly funny in the Edgar Wright mode, peppered with quirky secondary and tertiary characters. Set in Atlanta, it only superficially loses his British accent; his almost-butnot-not-quitePythonesque approach of calmly juxtaposing the absurd with the mundane remains intact. Imagine Charles Crichton’s 1988 English heist comedy A Fish Called Wanda with all American characters (and nonstop music) and you’ll get the basic flavor. There’s even a thug, known as Buddy (Jon Hamm), who may remind you of Kevin Kline’s Best Supporting Actor turn as the dim-but-conceited Otto in Wanda. Screenwriter Wright’s best monologues

Spektral Quartet debuts Gerard McBurney’s String Quartet No. 1 this Saturday at Maverick
Composers introducing their work to Maverick Concerts audiences are not something new. In the past, such classical luminaries as Henry Cowell, Robert Starer, Peter Schickele, Joan Tower and George Tsontakis have all spoken at the Maverick. They have all been internation-
ally known musicians who lived nearby. On July 8, though, composer Gerard McBurney comes all the way from Chicago to introduce the performance – by the debuting Spektral Quartet – of his String Quartet No. 1, composed in 1996 but only now receiving its world première. And that’s recent, compared to its source material: the works of Hildegard von Bingen, the great 12th-century mystic nun. Before coming to America from his native England, McBurney produced numerous documentaries for British and German television. In the early 1990s, he was commissioned to do a German TV program on Hildegard. A young Swiss singer performed three of the Sequences, for which Hildegard had created both words and music. McBurney was greatly taken with them. He played them for a member of the well-known new-music ensemble Kronos, who asked him to arrange them for string quartet. “So that’s what I did,” he writes. “I arranged them in an order which reflects a certain drama. The opening one is an Easter hymn of gratitude to the Virgin Mary, comparing her to a flower. The second one is a dramatic lament for the disaster of the Fall. And the third one is a vision of the whole cosmos with all the stars.” Kronos became so busy that it never got around to playing McBurney’s complete quartet, although there were performances of two of the movements.
“So this piece, which is one of my own pieces which I love the most, has never been performed as I intended, and a performance at the Maverick would be a world première.” Maverick Concerts, in their landmark home in the woods, take place two or three times every weekend throughout the summer. The Spektral Quartet concert program also includes music by Augusta Read Thomas, Philip Glass and Maurice Ravel. Spektral is one of 11 string quartet ensembles performing this summer. Other programs are as diverse as jazz trios and an Indian flute concert. – Leslie Gerber Spektral Quartet, Saturday, July 8, 8 p.m., $25/$5, Maverick Concert Hall, 120 Maverick Road, Woodstock; (845) 679-8217, www.maverickconcerts.org.

Taiko drumming in the Widow Jane Mine this Sunday
Have you been to the Widow Jane Mine yet? If not, you should seriously check out this mysterious Rosendale hideaway. It’s an easy stroll into the bowels of the Earth, with a flat floor, an underground lake that would serve as a nice retirement home for Gollum and acoustics that lure people to make recordings. A remnant of Rosendale’s once-world-renowned cement-mining industry, Widow Jane is a crux point between the natural world and human endeavor where magical things can and do happen. One of those magical interludes is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 9: the return of Taiko Masala for a concert of Taiko drumming. Imagine the cavern walls reverberating with the sound of traditional Japanese percussion, ranging from the giant 250-pound O-daiko right on down to the rattle of eightinch handheld drums, all superbly choreographed under the direction of master drummer Hiro Kurashima. The show begins at 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 9 as a benefit for the Century House Historical Society at the Snyder Estate, located at 668 Route 213, a little west of downtown Rosendale. Look for the iron gates adorned with a silhouette of the Brooklyn Bridge (whose underwater footings were famously made with sturdy Rosendale cement). Tickets cost $20 at the door. Bring a folding chair and a light jacket, sweater or sweatshirt, even if it’s a 95-degree day up top, it will be refreshingly cool in the cave. Events happen rain or shine at the Widow Jane Mine.

go to Kevin Spacey as robbery-ring mastermind Doc, to whom protagonist Baby (Ansel Elgort) is paying off a long debt by acting as his ace wheelman. Spacey’s delivery is so dry and controlled that he could be an alien lifeform, like the pod people in World’s End, but it must’ve been a true thespian challenge not to crack up while delivering these lines. Jamie Foxx also admirably underplays Bats, a veteran bank robber whose reputation as a loose cannon is belied by the shrewdness that tempers his free-floating rage. Young Elgort’s acting didn’t exactly floor me, but he does what he needs to do to hold up his end, speaking little but always choreographing Baby’s life to match the sounds that come from his earbuds, drowning out his chronic tinnitus. The burgeoning romance with a diner waitress, Debora (Lily James), that motivates Baby to find a way out of this loony bin of thieves and killers is contrastingly sweet, even innocent. The happy ending that it supplies feels a little tacked-on; but that’s a relatively minor quibble about a movie that is otherwise so deliriously enjoyable that mentioning it almost seems a crabbed reminder-to-self that a critic needs to be critical at times. Lightweight but smart, Baby Driver is a tour de force of filmmaking skill; it’s also a hoot and a half that just flies by. The summer of 2017 now has its perfect summer movie. I just might need to see it again – next time, perhaps, at a drive-in. – Frances Marion Platt

Middletown social worker Elizabeth Ocskay, who grew up on Wall Street in Kingston, examines a favorite photo of her grandfather László Ocskay.
The Schindler of Kingston Remembering how László Ocskay saved 2,000 Hungarian Jews from the Holocaust
E
lizabeth Ocskay remembers how her grandfather, the man she called “Dedi,” would walk with her from their apartment to elementary school every morning, a few blocks along Uptown Kingston’s Wall Street. It was a thrill to walk next to the tall man with the sleek dark hair and the trim moustache – the man who always wore a jacket and tie, whatever he was doing, wherever he was going. On Sundays after mass at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, they would walk together to a diner near Broadway. She always ordered a hamburger. He usually had a cup of coffee. They talked. He had a way about him that made her feel like a grownup. She remembers how he would sometimes visit her school, St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Elementary. One visit stands out in memory: She was furious at her third-grade teacher, “a horrible woman who never had a kind word for any of us.” A single visit from her Dedi changed that, and the teacher became sweet as pie. She doesn’t know what her grandfather did or said to the teacher. All she knew then, as now, was that he protected her and her classmates. It was a role with which he was very familiar. As she grew older, Elizabeth Ocskay came to recognize grownup things about her Dedi. She could see that he was sad. She gradually learned why. László Ocskay was a political refugee from his native Hungary. His exile was something from which he never recovered: a lasting and devastating blow to a man who could trace his ancestry back to the 11th century. László Ocskay was a stranger
in a strange land, an aristocrat who arrived penniless in Kingston in 1956, where his son and daughter-in-law were already trying to make a living in a new country. Though he spoke five languages, László never learned English. He worked briefly as a night watchman at a Midtown knitting mill, but it was no good. The family survived through the combined efforts of Elizabeth’s parents and László’s lifelong companion and Elizabeth’s de facto grandmother: a resourceful and ebullient woman named Berta Fica. László Ocskay died ten years after his arrival in Kingston. E l i z a b e t h remembers his last years as an unhappy and trying time – a time when her grandfather could no longer recognize her, when he spoke wildly of seeing monsters. He died of a stroke in 1966 and was buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery. As melancholy as her grandfather’s final years became, Elizabeth Ocskay also holds many fond memories of the life that they shared. She smiles as she remembers the times when her family and their few Hungarian friends would gather in the tiny Wall Street apartment and tell stories about the Old Country – stories of her grandfather’s days as a well-connected aristocrat, a notorious flirt and legendary bon vivant. She remembered especially stories that put his antic sense of humor on full display. “He loved to play jokes,” Elizabeth recalled. After recounting an elaborate prank that he played on a friend, she wondered if her grandfather’s love of playing the trickster might help explain why László committed one of the most incredible charades in European history – why he risked his life to save thousands of helpless men, women and children during the last

horrific days of World War II.
L
ászló Ocskay was a captain in the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I, the scion of a wealthy family. His family were Monarchists, fiercely anti-Communist and pro-German. During the war, in which he suffered a severe injury to his knee, Ocskay formed bonds of deep loyalty among his fellow officers – fellow Hungarians, Germans, Austrians, Jews and Gentiles – that would culminate many years later in acts of almost unbelievable bravery. After the war, he saw his family’s lands appropriated by the victorious and reviled Russian Communists. László Ocskay became a nobleman in name only. Years later, Hungary once again aligned with Germany during World War II. Ocskay was excused from military service because of his age and the injury he received during the “war to end all wars.” Initially, the Hungarian government had shown little enthusiasm for Adolf Hitler’s infamous Final Solution. But by 1944, the country’s homegrown fascists, the rabidly anti-Semitic Arrow
Cross Party, had gained control of the government. The Arrow Crossers fell in line with Hitler’s murderous edicts and began rounding up Jews for shipment to death camps. It’s estimated that nearly one-tenth of the Holocaust’s six million victims were Hungarian Jews. In the face of the country’s rampaging government, several prominent Jewish friends begged Ocskay to rejoin the army. They believed that through the connections and friendships he had forged in the trenches of the previous war, he and they could play a pivotal role in an audacious plan to rescue escaped and runaway Jews, AWOL prisoners from other labor camps and children rescued from orphanages from the rampaging fascists. Ocskay agreed. His friends pulled strings and got him the command of Forced Labor Camp Number 101/359, situated in a former high school building just outside of Budapest.

“very unassuming man� at the camp who would return to his family’s patrician home at day’s end. “What Captain Ocskay did – and everyone inside the camp knew this – was protect the people under his command,� Danieli said. “Officially we were there to repair uniforms. But the camp’s real job – and every one of its “prisoners� knew it – was to reunite and protect Jewish families,� Danieli said in a later interview. Years after his release from the labor camp, Danieli visited the Holocaust Memorial Exhibition in Budapest. He was shocked to discover that Ocskay’s name was not listed among the country’s rescuers. Nobody knew better than he what Ocskay had accomplished. He made it his life’s work to make sure the world would recognize his benefactor’s lonely and dangerous stand against the country’s fascists. Danieli found that Ocskay and his staff issued IDs to the camp’s new arrivals. He obtained food and medicine for a camp that originally held a few hundred prisoners. When the camp was liberated by the Soviet Army in 1945, it had become a haven for more than 2,000 men, women and children of all ages. Ocskay’s scheme was a day-to-day effort, and was not without its harrowing moments. Several accounts told of Ocskay taking an armed stand against members of the Arrow Cross Party, according to Danieli. In one such case, Ocskay defended his battalion from Arrow Crossers by coopting, with what Danieli described as “freewheeling diplomatic skill,� a local corps of Waffen SS who were Hungarians of German descent who also opposed the Arrow Cross. “The violence and insanity of the times made for some strange alliances,� Danieli wrote. “In this rare case, apparently, it bore fortunate results. Instead of killing Jews, he was saving them.� Of the men women and children under his protection, Danieli later said, “not one person was lost to the Nazis.�
B
ut why hadn’t Ocskay’s heroism received the acclaim it deserved? Particularly after the release of the film Schindler’s List, Danieli wondered why Ocskay hadn’t won similar attention. As he said in his report, “Both [men] saved about the same number of people, both used their German connections. But while Schindler was a somewhat questionable character, Ocskay was simply a humanitarian with no financial gain as his objective.� Ocskay’s heroism was no match for
(Clockwise from upper left) Historical images of Captain LĂĄszlĂł Ocskay, a long-forgotten hero of the WWII. According to Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center: "LĂĄszlĂł Ocskay was the commander of the so-called clothes collecting Forced Laborer Company no. 101/359 in Budapest. He would accept into his company eeing forced laborers and Jewish men who had escaped deportation and give them official Hungarian military forced laborer documents. Ocskay repeatedly assigned people from among his forced laborers to work for Raoul Wallenberg, the secretary of the Swedish Embassy, who employed them in various rescue operations. Working for the Transport Department, operating under the aegis of the International Red Cross, the forced laborers, for instance, distributed food to children’s homes and to houses protected by the Swedish embassy. By January 1945, about 2,000 Jews (family members included) were “assignedâ€? to Ocskay’s forced laborer company and survived the war. Besides saving the forced laborers and their relatives, Ocskay also hid a small group of Jews in the cellar of his own home. During the ďŹ nal days of the siege of Budapest, Raoul Wallenberg was also hiding there." After World War II, Ocskay left Hungary and eventually immigrated, with his family, to Kingston, where he died in 1966.
the poisonous political atmosphere that enveloped postwar Hungary. The country’s Communist “liberators� brought with them a reign of psychological and political terror that cast Ocskay as an archenemy of the new government. He was continually harassed by the Soviets and arrested several times. Because he worked for several years following the war for the American oil company that eventually became ExxonMobil, he was accused of being an American spy. His aristocratic background, his employment with a capitalistic American company and his German military contacts made him a pariah. Conditions were so extreme, Danieli reported, that “the survivors of the 101/359 in Hungary did not dare to associate with Ocskay, as such association would have been detrimental, to say the least, to one’s own career and even to one’s
life.� As a result, he wrote, “No attempt was made in Hungary to honor or even to acknowledge Ocskay.� The only public acknowledgment in the postwar years that Ocskay received was reflected in a single line in his obituary in the Kingston Daily Freeman: “In 1963, Ocskay was recognized by National Jewish Monthly for saving 2,000 Jews from execution at the hands of the Nazis.� Ocskay’s name was finally acknowledged in the spring of 2003, in Israel. Thanks primarily to Danieli’s research, his name was engraved on the Wall of Honor in the Garden of the Righteous at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, in company with the names of other, more familiar heroes of the Holocaust such as Oscar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg. The medals presented in his honor bear the Talmudic expression, “Whoever saves one life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.�
lizabeth Ocskay was also upset that her grandfather had not won the worldwide acclaim accorded to Schindler. She has been asked, over the years, why she thinks her grandfather took such risks. It’s the kind of question that’s not easily answered. What makes a person perform life-threatening, heroic deeds from which he or she could easily and justifiably walk away? Why does anyone risk their life and the lives of their family for perfect strangers? Why, specifically, did Captain LĂĄszlĂł Ocskay take those daily risks in the face of the world’s most efficient, immoral and deadly military regime? Elizabeth’s mother had a simple answer to that question: “You have to understand that for him, it was the most natural thing in the world.â€? Elizabeth Ocskay agreed with her mother’s assessment, then offered an intriguing possibility. After recounting her grandfather’s story of how he played an elaborate practical joke on a friend, how he loved playing the trickster, she wondered if the challenge of playing such a complex charade appealed to him. “He had this way of being very crafty,â€? she said. There’s probably no one answer to the question of “Why?â€? at the center of LĂĄszlĂł Ocskay’s life. The family never discussed his actions at Labor Camp 101/359. The one person besides her grandfather who could help unravel the mystery was Berta Fica, who died in 1990, at the age of 84. Elizabeth Ocskay remembers how her grandfather and the woman she considers her grandmother recorded his memories of those days: “I remember them sitting together while she wrote what he was saying – in Hungarian, of course. On these yellow sheets of paper, page after page after page.â€? Those sheets got passed along, she said, to one or another friend of the family until they wound up in the hands of person in Chicago, where, in a perfect parallel to the story that those pages held, they were lost to history. – Jeremiah Horrigan [Author’s note: In reporting and researching this story, I came across countless explanations of heroes and heroism on the internet. None of them seemed to characterize Captain LĂĄszlĂł Ocskay more accurately than author Raymond Chandler’s description of his fictional hero, Philip Marlowe. I found it as easy to recognize Elizabeth Ocskay’s handsome, dashing grandfather in Chandler’s words as it was to imagine Dan Danieli’s “very unassuming manâ€? striding quietly among the people whose lives he was saving: “He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man,â€? Chandler wrote. “He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor – by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it.

STAGE Pride & Prejudice & pratfalls Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival spins up a giddy Jane Austen classic
I
t is a truth universally acknowledged that a novel beloved by millions for a couple of centuries must be in want of a stage adaptation. And so, playwright/actress Kate Hamill has undertaken to do the same for the works of Jane Austen. She began with a version of Sense & Sensibility that debuted in 2014 and had a well-received Off-Broadway production by the Bedlam Ensemble Theatre last year. Her intent, Hamill recently told The New York Times, is to adapt all six of Austen’s novels eventually. Her unorthodox take on Pride & Prejudice just had its world premiere a couple of weekends ago at Boscobel in Garrison by the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF), directed by Amanda Dehnert, with Kate Hamill starring as Elizabeth Bennett as well. How audiences will react will likely hinge on the seriousness of their level of veneration for the works of the early19th-century English novelist of manners – because Hamill is not so much a Janeite as a guerrilla Austenista, with an approach to the canon more audaciously irreverent than most of us have encountered before. Jane Austen’s work is cherished for its humor, true; but in the original, it’s the arch sort of humor that slips slyly between the lines, delivered in the most polite and decorous of language. Not for Hamill such a passive/aggressive angle of attack; she goes for full-blown farce that tears the social conventions of the landed gentry to hysterical shreds. Amazingly, deliciously, it all works; but purists should consider themselves forewarned. The first red flag that this was going to be an iconoclastic rendition of Pride

was the casting of Jason O’Connell in the part of the aloof Mr. Darcy. O’Connell (reportedly Hamill’s real-life domestic partner) has been noted in Almanac Weekly’s pages several times previously as a comic actor of prodigious gifts. His Dorante in The Liar at Boscobel in 2014 had this reviewer breathless with laughter. Though he has been cast against type by HVSF before – notably as Darcy’s spiritual predecessor, Benedick, in Much Ado about Nothing – the stockily built actor doesn’t have the matinée-idol looks usually associated with filmic representations of

Lizzy Bennett’s heartthrob/nemesis. Clearly, something was up here. And in fact, though O’Connell’s Darcy has his funny moments (during dance numbers, he is determinedly the only cast member landing square off the beat), he keeps the absurdity of the aristocrat’s dignity lowkey, relatively speaking. The rest of the ensemble exhibits no such Austenesque restraint, and the mantle for wackiest comic turns is passed to fellow HVSF alumnus Mark Bedard, who plays the unbearable clergyman Mr. Collins, the rakish officer Wickham and
the snobbish Caroline Bingley. Besides Hamill and O’Connell, all of the eight cast members play multiple roles, a fair few of them in drag. John Tufts, who is quite literally tasked with portraying the much-sought-after wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley as Darcy’s obedient puppy, is also very funny in the part of Mary, the consumptive, pontificating pill of a Bennett sister. Every time he slips on Mary’s long, baggy gown, he transforms into a sort of vulture, sourly hunched on the sidelines, broadcasting simmering resentment with every glare. HVSF veteran Nance Williamson is having her usual rollicking good time, primarily in the role of the embarrassingly ambitious Mrs. Bennett. The rest of the ensemble also shines, shapeshifting readily and sharing the spotlight generously. While clever, the humor here is very broad indeed: Jane Austen as might have been rendered as a Restoration comedy, or with lyrics by W. S. Gilbert. Superfluous characters have been excised mercilessly by the playwright – including one of the original five Bennett sisters, Kitty; but four dowryless daughters seem to be quite enough of a burden for one financially stressed family to marry off with advantage. The audience on Opening Night ate it all up with a big spoon and a lengthy standing ovation at the finale. I didn’t take a poll as to how many of them were Austen purists. Doubtful about taking the plunge? Consider that such a thing as Pride & Prejudice & Zombies already exists, making this adaptation seem rather less scandalous in concept than, say, Lydia Bennett’s impetuous elopement without benefit of clergy. At least there are no undead characters in it (though one actor did improvise a very brief zombie walk at the performance that I witnessed). If you attend summer theater with any regularity, you’ve certainly seen more outrageous interpretations of Shakespeare, so why not Jane Austen? I highly recommend giving HVSF’s Pride & Prejudice a try. It’s loads of fun, put on with both great professionalism and refreshing, zany zest. Pe r f o r m a n c e s begin at 7:30 p.m. on July 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 20, 23, 26 and 29, August 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 29 and 31 and September 4.

Motorhead melee Ellenville’s Shadowland stages premiere run of The Jag
A
fter opening the summer season with Michael Frayn’s Noises Off, Shadowland Stages in Ellenville now offer the New York premiere of The Jag, written years ago by Gino DiIorio but held up for practical reasons until now. Shadowland’s Brendan Burke explains that the acquisition of an actual Jaguar (the car,
want to sell the Jag – particularly not to pay off his recalcitrant son’s gambling debts. It’s a well-written scene played out in real life in too many garages across the country: the struggle of unfulfilled expectations between parent and child; the lifelong bitterness that ensues; and sometimes, the reconciliation that’s made possible by the unexpected influence of a quirky character like Carla. The Jag runs until July 16, with performances Thursday through Sunday. The Foreigner by Larry Shue is next, from July 21 through August 13; then Murder for Two opening on August 18 and ending September 10. On September 15, it’s Ripcord by David Lindsay Abaire, ending on October 1, to be followed by the season finale, Disgraced, running from October 6 to 22, a play by Pulitzer Prizewinner Ayad Akhtar. See the website below for dates and curtain times.
A
not the cat) was imperative to the production. There’s just no way this play could be done without the genuine article onstage. So when DiIorio finally contacted him to say that he’d found a Jag, and ask if Burke would come to New Jersey to direct the play in Long Branch, the timing was right. And DiIorio agreed to give Shadowland the use of his 1966 white-on-white classic for a run upstate after the play closed there. The cast came north, too: Dan Grimaldi as the 70-year-old Chick Chicarella, his adult son Bone, played by Christopher Daftsios, and Estelle Bajou as Carla Carr, the zany mechanics savant hired to help restore the Jaguar. The car had to be gutted and partially disassembled in order to maneuver it through stage doors. It’s now parked on a set expertly designed to replicate a suburban garage, replete with overhead I-beams on which hang retractable hoses and power cords. Various tools and car parts are strewn around the space lined with a cluttered toolbench, a beat-up old easy chair, a utility sink and a minirefrigerator. The latter is stocked with beer. Bone arranges a quick deal to sell the Jag for operating money, but Chick stalls. He doesn’t like the proposed buyer or his son. Alcohol greases angry communication between the two, who are each full of resentment, the source of which becomes apparent when their arguments imply another son: the gifted car-restorer, the chosen recipient of the Jaguar, the son alongside whom Chick was proud to work. Bone, on the other hand, elicits no such fondness from his father. Their loud, abrasive interactions are delivered with convincing reproach over a painful past. Still, the play’s dialogue is relieved with bits that cause the occasional laughter of recognition from audience members, and with outright comedy coming from the mouth of Carla as well. She lies on the Jag’s “bonnet” and purrs. She misunderstands “figures of expression” and can’t make a pot of coffee, but knows the synchronized timing of the car’s sparkplugs. Clearly a social misfit, she manages to win the confidence and affection of Chick, whose blatant derision of her turns on a dime. DiIorio says that the story came out of the more pleasant, but similar, relationship that he had with his own father: a good mechanic and excellent craftsman who also owned a non-working Jag, and who wouldn’t agree to sell it until his failing health forced him to realize that he wasn’t going to see it restored. In the play, Chick is blinded by macular degeneration, and his bodily functions are beginning to break down; but he doesn’t

fter a phenomenally successful capital campaign, the theater shines with Art Deco appointments in the lobby and a comfortably refurbished auditorium that seats around 150. Founded in 1984, the nonprofit company continues to boost Ellenville’s economy with “cars on the curb, feet on the sidewalks,” which mean more business for restaurants in the neighborhood and more interest in other village businesses as well. A quick tour around the block to the newly renovated extension space proves the nonprofit company’s commitment to the community. Those curbs and sidewalks surround a more contemporary structure that will provide for greater rehearsal space, classrooms and additional productions, such as workshopping plays and doing readings of in-process works. A new managing director was welcomed into the Shadowland fold this spring: Bradley Diuguid, a Sullivan County boy who went to SUNY-New Paltz (where he met and worked with Burke) and attended grad school at Harvard. Involved in theater his whole life, Diuguid has talents in many areas that are now being put to good use at Shadowland: education, fundraising, marketing and public relations, and every other logistical or administrative task the job requires of him. “I’ve taught in public schools and afterschool programs and with nonprofit theaters,” he says, also mentioning the outreach programs that Shadowland offers local schools and opportunities for kids to come into the theater atmosphere for acting classes, youth productions and other stage-related functions. Diuguid is also well-schooled in fundraising. “I have done fundraising work for several other institutions, such as the Juilliard in New York City, and it was a big part of my job as executive director at Catskill Art Society.” His enthusiasm for Shadowland and his love of the region are big pluses. Joining with Burke and company to provide performances of relevance – and to ensure accessibility and affordability to all audiences – is a dream job. Shadowland Stages are located at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville, offering local audiences the experience of seeing works done by professional actors, directors and designers. The theater operates under contract with the Actors’ Equity Association and brings entertaining, thought-provoking productions to Ulster County: well-worth the drive down Route 209.

Hudson Valley Murder & Mayhem author talk in Woodstock Andrew Amelinckx presents Hudson Valley Murder & Mayhem on Saturday, July 8 at 4:30 p.m. at the Golden Notebook in Woodstock. The Hudson Valley, according to the event promoters, is drenched in a legacy of gore and blood. In the fall of 1893, Lizzie Halliday left a trail of bodies in her wake, slaughtering two strangers and her husband before stabbing a nurse to death at the asylum housing her. A Jazz Age politician, tired of fighting with his overbearing wife, murdered her and buried the body under the front porch. In 1882, a cantankerous old miner, dubbed the “Austerlitz Cannibal” by the press, chopped up his partner before he himself swung from the end of a rope. Author Andrew Amelinckx dredges up the Hudson Valley’s dark past. For more information, visit www.goldennotebook. com. The Golden Notebook is located at 29 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

July 6-13 A voyage to Bannerman’s Island
Looking to add Hudson Valley castles to your bucket list? Interested in a historic local spot that’s accessible only by boat? After riding past Pollepel Island (better known locally as Bannerman’s Island) for years on the train, I had no idea of the many renovations, developments and events that have been underway! I experienced a fantastic visit and can’t wait to return for a Constellation Tour this summer. After stepping on board the boat in Beacon (Newburgh is another choice), I enjoyed the pleasant ride over. When we landed, I took a deep breath and climbed up the many steps to the main part of the island. As the main path wound around, I marveled at the gorgeous river and mountain views, as well as the vestiges of daily life from families who inhabited the island over the years. Visiting Bannerman’s Island feels like a treasure known only to me (and now, also you). There’s something to draw in almost everyone, except full accessibility: no ramps or elevator or smooth passage for providing support or assisted mobility. In the meantime, there are lots of opportunities for volunteering, such as gardening; choosing from a variety of tours; seeing varied performances such as the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s Romeo and Juliet; an original Whiskey Woman show; storyteller Jonathan Kruk; War of the Worlds; Constellation, a piece where points of light lead the eye around and about the Bannerman structure; a lecture by someone who actually lived on the island with her family; and last month’s performance of The American Soldier by Douglas Taurel. Tickets and reservations for tours and upcoming events are listed and priced on the website. I very highly recommended getting over to Bannerman’s Island this summer. And I’ll keep practicing “Pollepel Island,” until it feels as solid as saying “Bannerman’s”! For tickets, reservations, volunteer opportunities or information, visit www. bannermancastle.org.

OLD RHINEBECK AERODROME SPOTLIGHTS VETERANS AND TRACTORS THIS WEEKEND
T
o me, the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome (ORA) means history, local pride and breathless fun! My favorite part of the day is the biplane ride, an experience that I find absolutely thrilling and unique: in the open air, wind rushing by, with gorgeous views of our valley as we loop to the Hudson River and back. Some people enjoy checking out the airplanes in the different display barns, but personally, I prefer to spend that time in the museum, where the plane exhibits are shown chronologically, along with descriptions of their significance. I delighted in learning about renowned female pilots of the era, too! But the biggest draw is the air shows, which run on weekends all summer long, and that’s what gets families hooked on ORA (the most sensitive ears in your household would benefit from bringing noise-reduction headphones). Back in the day, ORA founder Cole Palen was actually responsible for helping to legitimize and create value around antique airplanes. His restoration, sales and trades of vintage aircraft led to the establishment of a museum for them at ORA, and organizations from around the country followed suit. The Aerodrome is a great place to take your own crew, as well as visiting “framily” (friends+family) or even strangers – bring everyone! There’s nothing else like it, it’s fiercely local…and biplane rides! (Remember to tip your pilot.) This weekend is a special time to check out the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, as they celebrate Veterans’ Appreciation Weekend, Tractor Weekend and the History of Flight Air Show on Saturday and Veterans’ Appreciation Weekend, Tractor Weekend and the World War I Air Show on Sunday. Shows begin about 2 p.m. and finish around 4 p.m. Did I mention that Sunday’s show is a dogfight, including a hero, heroine and a villain, along with pyrotechnics and a World War I tank! While you’re there, keep your eye out for ORA president Mike DiGiacomio, who is so knowledgeable about aircraft and has a terrific sense of humor, including insisting to any new guest that he’s the janitor. Admission this weekend is free for veterans and active or retired military personnel, $20 for seniors, $25 for adults, $12 for youth ages 6 to 17 and free for children 5 and under. The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome is located at 9 Norton Road in Red Hook. For more information, call (845) 752-3200 or visit http://oldrhinebeck.org. – Erica Chase-Salerno

I had seen white guys do it – in Jersey Boys, in Les Miz; never seen a black guy.

Erica Chase-Salerno wants to hear about your sizzling summer! Tell me about your family’s favorite places to go! Email kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing. com.
Season opens at Delaware & Ulster Railroad One hundred years ago, the Delaware & Ulster Railroad was a vibrant network, connecting farm families with commerce, news and the outside world. Every summer, the train would fill to capacity with city tourists, eager to take in the cool mountain air. Visitors today can recapture the expansive spirit of those earlier days watching the hills, pastures and streams roll by. Rail-riders are transported back in time with the rhythmic rumble and clatter that once ferried folks throughout these hills and valleys. The historic rail cars will chug out of the station for the first time this season on Saturday, July 1 with two trains every Saturday; and Sunday through the end of October. Hop on board for a relaxing two-hour round-trip excursion at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. from Arkville to Roxbury. The Delaware & Ulster also offers express service from Roxbury to Arkville at noon on Saturdays and Sundays. The one-hour layover in Arkville allows just the right amount of time to grab some lunch and check out the shops. Tickets cost $18 for adults, $15 for “seasoned citizens” and $12 for children ages 3 to 12, with well-behaved dogs and kids under three riding for free. Reservations are not usually required. Tickets may be purchased at the station and through the railroad’s website at http://durr.org. The railroad also offers “The Great Train Robber y ” rides featuring lighthearted robberies of the railroad with historically accurate lawmen and desperados of the 19th century, who have a shootout trackside. The first “Train Robbery” ride is scheduled for Saturday, July 8, with additional dates listed on the website. Regular fares apply. “Twilight on the Rails” offers a “date night” experience on the trains, with live music under the stars accompanied by the rhythmic clickety-clack of the rails. The first outing this season will take place this Saturday, July 2 [already past], with Blues Maneuver returning for their 20th year to entertain passengers with their own brand of blues and rockabilly. A “Twilight on the Rails” later this summer will take place on Saturday, September 2. Tickets cost $20 per person, and advance purchase is recommended. Those who wish to do it up al fresco may bring a picnic larder and beverages of choice. There are also Rip Van Winkle luncheon excursions available for charter, with private passenger cars embodying the peak of rail travel, down to the “white-linen” service and the beveled glass. Relax in the Art Deco diner and mahogany-lined tavern car and take in the views from the Vista dome Union Grove car and round-end observation car. Details are available on the website. Delaware & Ulster Railroad, 43510 State Highway 28, Arkville (plus depot in Roxbury); (800) 225-4132, (845) 586-DURR, http://durr.org.

The exhibition will also address the nationally significant role of New York State leaders in regard to women’s rights and the feminist movement through the early 21 st century. “Votes for Women” will feature collections from the New York State Museum, New York State Library and the New York State Archives as well as artifacts from historical institutions and private collections across the state.

On deck Kingston Sailing Club offers opportunities for neophyte sailors to get their feet wet
D
oes it really count as summer if you don’t get out on the water at some point? Most who grew up near a seacoast or a Great Lake or even a sizable river would argue that it doesn’t. There’s something about the smell of negative ions, the big windy horizon and the reflected sunlight that makes our workaday tensions drain away. I love that dreamy sensation of drifting off to sleep after a day in a boat, feeling like the bed underneath me is rocking with the swell as if I were still on the water. Some people love the thrill of fast movement in a powerboat, in spite of the motor noise and the petrol smell. Even a short ferry ride is better than nothing; and if you own a canoe or a kayak, you’re golden. But there’s nothing quite like being out for a sail. That moment when you’re well out of port and the sails are set and the captain turns the engine off and the winds take over…it’s like crossing into another, more peaceful realm of reality. A working-class yachter’s reality, of course, skews heavily toward time spent on laborious maintenance. Not for nothing is it said that the two happiest days in a boat-owner’s life are the day you bought it and the day you finally got rid of it. Having a friend with a sailboat may be the ideal situation; just make sure to contribute some grog whenever you mooch a ride, and show up to lend a hand on barnacle-scraping day. Still, a decent little day-sailer can be owned for considerably less than the price of a new car. And according to the crew of the Lapiz, a Cal 28 whose homeport is Kingston, mooring a sailboat in one of the marinas on the Rondout is significantly cheaper than at any of the popular ports further south along the Hudson River. In the popular imagination, yachting and sailboat-racing are pursuits traditionally reserved for the wealthy; but there are plenty of regular folks out there playing on the river these days as well. Being handy with tools and unfazed by a little rough weather count for a lot more than the crisp pleat in your pristine nautical whites. And never mind those old-timey sailors’ superstitions about women being bad luck on a boat; sailing is no longer just a man’s game. In fact, one of the regular activities organized by the Kingston Sailing Club (KSC) is a group called Wednesday Women on the Water (WoW), which just wrapped up its inaugural season. It’s run by a female skipper, Jody Taffet Sterling; if you’re interested in participating when the fall series comes around, e-mail her at jodytaffetsterling@gmail.com. While it does not include formal sailing lessons, WoW is newbie-friendly, offering opportunities to be introduced to sailing or to build on existing skills under the guidance of female mentors. The Riverport Women’s Sailing Conference, which debuted on the Rondout this past March, promises to return in early spring of 2018 as well. During the summers, KSC and the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM) offer a joint program for beginners, male, female or otherwise, called the Riverport Sailing School. One-week, hands-on sailing workshops will be hosted by the museum from August 7 to 11 for youth aged 10 to 13 years and from August 14 to 18 for teens aged 14 to 18. These courses cost $395 for HRMM members and $440 for non-HRMM members; register at www.hrmm.org/store/c8/classes-workshops. Keep an eye on the museum website for announcements of upcoming sailing classes for adults as well.

Hudson Valley’s shifty winds pose a challenge to sailboat racers.
Once you’ve learned the ropes – er, lines – you can hone your sailing skills by making yourself available as volunteer crew for the many sails organized by the KSC, or even for a race. E-mail Jack Arnold at jackarnold52@gmail.com if you’d like to be added to the crew list. This correspondent had the good fortune to tag along aboard the Lapiz during the next-to-last spring 2017 sailboat race – mostly staying out of the way while captain George Minervini and crew Matt Lancto and Chris Conway scampered about, trimming the sails in response to ever-shifting winds. The Lapiz didn’t win, but nobody really seemed to mind. “It beats working,” Minervini said. Indeed, it was a glorious day to be out in the middle of the wide, wide Hudson, watching the scudding clouds and the soaring eagles and the seven other boats in the race as they maneuvered. One comes away from such a summer afternoon with a sense of ease and well-being that makes one understand on a deep level how the word “buoyant” became a synonym for “cheerful.” The last KSC race of the spring season was on July 2. The start/finish line was just off George Freer Park in Port Ewen, and according to KSC’s commodore, David Wightman, that park is probably the best onshore vantagepoint from which to view races. The Sunday afternoon sailboat races will recommence on Sunday, August 20 for their fall series, which runs into October. The Spinnenweber Regatta – one of two regional meets that KSC hosts annually, open to all members of the Hudson River Yacht Racing Association – takes place on Saturday and Sunday, August 26 and 27, so you might want to plan a picnic somewhere with a good view of the Hudson for that weekend. And KSC’s tradition of holding a monthly Full Moon Sail and Mystery Guest Raft-Up will go on through the summer, beginning at 6 p.m. on July 8, August 5 and September 9. Ready to stick a toe in the water? Find out more at www.kingstonsailingclub.org or www.facebook.com/groups/kingstonsails. Or just show up at the KSC building (on the Strand, next door to HRMM) at 10 a.m. any Sunday, when the boat captains gather for their weekly meeting; introduce yourself and listen to the old salts talk. Chances are they’ll talk you into a pair of deck shoes in no time. – Frances Marion Platt

Ultraviolet’s forgotten discoverer
D
uring these summer days, we’ll use hats and sunscreen to try to avoid ultraviolet light: the kind that can burn us or even cause a later skin cancer. But UV also creates the vitamin D that prevents many cancers from forming in the first place. When the 19th century began, the world had no idea of the existence of invisible forms of light. William Herschel found the first of these, infrared, in 1800. The second type, ultraviolet, was discovered by Johann Wilhelm Ritter the very next year. Ritter was born in what is now Poland, loved science and studied to be a pharmacist. Starting at age 21, from 1797 to 1804, Ritter’s research and published papers on electrochemistry and electrophysiology attracted enough notice that he seemed an odds-on favorite to join the ranks of the science immortals someday. Indeed, after he created the world’s first dry-cell battery at age 24, his trajectory seemed upward-bound. He then married the young, pretty girlfriend with whom he’d been living for years, But fame was not to be. Ritter had a tendency to get into disputes, and he quarreled with university officials over the issue of whether he’d be appointed as a lecturer. In time, Europe’s scientific community also grew suspicious of Ritter’s scientific conclusions, because he routinely surrounded them in philosophical or occultist rants. The main problem was his championing the tenets of the Naturphilosophie then in vogue in some German intellectual centers. Ritter based his work on the idea that the universe was a “oneness,” with all scientific disciplines interconnected, and that the cosmos possessed a “world-soul,” meaning a kind of innate, built-in Godlike intelligence. He also believed that polarity – meaning a law of opposites – ruled nature. Just as magnets have a north and south pole, Ritter was convinced that absolutely every aspect of science boiled down to, and could be explained by, two components, often in tension with each other. He found evidence for his belief everywhere he looked. He noted that air had recently been found to be essentially composed of two gases, oxygen and nitrogen. Always pairs. He became convinced that Earth had opposing electric poles, not just magnetic ones. It was his obsession with dualities that spurred Ritter to his greatest discovery, at age 25. He had of course learned of Herschel’s bombshell 1800 discovery of invisible heat rays just beyond the red end of the spectrum. Ritter quickly hypothesized that cooling rays might dwell on the opposite side of the spectrum, the blue end. He soon found that temperatures did not drop on the violet end, so he tried something else. Since he couldn’t find any physical effect, he looked for a chemical reaction. It had already been proven that paper soaked with silver chloride would blacken when exposed to ration of collaborative music making between skilled musicians and youth ages of 9–15.

sunlight; this was an early stepping-stone toward the upcoming field of photography. Ritter wondered whether all of sunlight’s colors would create this reaction with equal speed. He exposed silver chloride-soaked paper to various parts of the prismatic spectrum, cast by sunshine striking cut glass. Red light had only a negligible effect in darkening, or reducing the compound to silver, while green light did it much faster, and violet fastest of all. Ritter then placed the chemically soaked paper in the blank spot beyond the violet end of the spectrum. Voilà! The paper darkened most rapidly of all. Obviously, some unseen form of energy was concentrated right there, and had a dramatic chemical effect. Ritter had done it: He had discovered an Johann Wilhelm Ritter entirely new form of invisible light. But, alas, he naturally interpreted this effect as proof of a polarity between “deoxidizing rays” near the violet end of the spectrum and “oxidizing rays” beyond the red end. Here again was his obsession with opposites or dualities. When the world heard about it, people soon abandoned Ritter’s term “oxidizing rays,” and this new form of invisible light came to be called chemical rays. It took a full lifetime for them to be labeled ultraviolet instead. You’d think such a momentous finding would have elevated Ritter to celebrity status. It didn’t. First, Ritter continued his habit of embedding his findings in the philosophy of polarities and soul. And soon he got worse, routinely peppering his papers with references to such occult practices as water-divining. He imagined he’d found the principles governing the interdependency of inorganic nature and human phenomena, and named this new branch of study “siderism.” He even published a periodical with that title. With virtually no subscribers, its first issue was its last. Perhaps worst of all, Ritter took forever to publish anything, and then only in his books, where his results were tangled up with extraneous stuff about the occult. All in all, Ritter wrote 13 volumes, which contained several groundbreaking discoveries on the effects of electricity on animal bodies and, of course, that first-ever dry-cell battery. He also published 20 journal articles. Yet, despite all this work, he failed to land a single teaching appointment. Increasingly in debt and unable to care for his family, Ritter’s health failed, and he died of pulmonary problems just after his 33rd birthday. He remains generally unknown even today. But while Ritter lived and died in obscurity, his ultraviolet light gained increasing attention. For, as the world soon learned, UV is the invisible radiation most intimately involved with human life – and death. Its rays will powerfully influence you this summer. – Bob Berman Parts of this article were adapted from Zapped: From Infrared to X-Rays, the Curious History of Invisible Light, by Bob Berman, to be published next month by Little, Brown.

CLINTONDALE’S SPITE HOUSE FEATURED IN “WOMEN OF NOTE” EXHIBITION
T
he Plattekill Historical Preservation Society will host a traveling exhibition titled “Ulster County’s Women of Note” at its headquarters, located at 127 Church Street in Plattekill, during the last two weeks in July. There will be two featured speakers at the exhibit on Saturday, July 15: Suzanne Hauspurg, director of the Ulster County Historical Society, and Lynne “Asha” Golliher, outreach historian of the Ellenville Public Library and Museum, who assembled the 16-display-board display using an Action Grant from the New York Council for the Humanities. Included in this exhibition is the story of an Ulster County chapter of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. According to Shirley Anson and Elizabeth Werlau of the Plattekill Historical Preservation Society, this powerful local women’s group built a small house on South Street (near today's Gunk Haus) in Clintondale in 1902 to prevent a nearby business from getting a license to sell and serve liquor. This act, and the heated dispute that followed, earned the dwelling the moniker of “the Spite House” within the pages of local newspapers. There is only one known photo of it in existence, showing the WCTU women (plus Friends minister Robert Ryon) standing in front of the controversial building. Soon after it was built, the Spite House went down in flames. It was presumed to have been burned by proponents of the proposed tavern. Learn the additional stories behind this exhibition, which were compiled by county residents, on Saturday, July 15 at 1 o'clock. “Ulster County’s Women of Note” is open to the public beginning at 12:30 p.m. on July 15, and admission is free. Refreshments will be served. There is plenty of parking at the Plattekill Historical Preservation Society headquarters, located at 127 Church Street (south of Route 32) in Plattekill. Between July 16 and 30, the exhibit can be seen by calling (845) 883-6118 or (845) 883-7132 for an appointment.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Does compost tea help plants?
H
as your garden had its tea this morning? Tea is all the rage for plants and soils these days – compost tea. And not just any old compost tea, but tea that you steep in water that’s aerated just like an aquarium. Compost tea steeped the old way – by hanging a burlap sack of compost in a bucket of water for a few days – was one way to provide a liquid feed to plants. The liquid feed wasn’t particularly rich, but did provide a wide range of nutrients that leached from the compost, and was convenient for feeding potted plants. The new, aerated compost teas are billed as an efficient way to transfer beneficial microorganisms from compost into the soil or onto plant leaves. After all, spraying a little tea is less work than pitchforking tons of compost. In the soil, the little guys can spread their goodness, fighting off plant diseases and generally making plants healthier. Or so goes the logic and the promotional material. Aerated compost tea (ACT) is big business these days, with people selling compost tea, compost tea-brewers and services for testing compost teas. Compost tea is more than big business; it’s bordering on religion (as anyone who criticizes compost tea soon finds out). In fact, aerated compost tea is not the panacea that it’s trumped up to be. Many independent studies have found the tea to be of no benefit, or even detrimental. Occasionally, human pathogens have been found lurking in compost tea. I have a friend who believes in compost tea, so in the interest of science I agreed, on his urging, to try it out. To make sure any lack of efficacy could not be blamed on the tea itself, he sent me some compost, a brewer and instructions for brewing and application. Interestingly, he told me not to try it out in my vegetable garden, because my garden was “too organic”(!). Long story short: I applied tea to my lawn and to some vegetables in a relatively poor soil at a local farm, and the result was…(drum roll)…nothing, nada, rien, zip. All the buzz about compost tea bypasses the fundamental question of why compost tea would limit plant disease when sprayed on plant leaves. The theory goes that the good microorganisms colonize leaves to displace and/or fight off the bad guys. Compost tea contains some of the microorganisms from the compost that made the tea. These microorganisms are normally found in soils and, of course, composts. But why, evolutionarily speaking, would these microorganisms provide any benefit on plant leaves, for disease control or any other purpose? Furthermore, these microorganisms evolved in a dark, nutrient- and moisture-rich environment. Why would they survive on a sunny, dry, nutrient-poor leaf? The same goes for soils: If the soil has the right environment for a particular set of microorganisms, they generally are there; apply microorganisms to a soil lacking the needed environment and those microorganisms cannot survive. Occasional research papers report positive effects of compost tea for thwarting plant diseases. I contend that if you spray just about anything on a plant leaf and measure enough plants closely enough, you’ll turn up some measurable response to the spray. That response might be very transitory and very small, but, with the right equipment or instrumentation, you’ll measure some effect. Whether that effect is of biological or practical significance is another story. With that, I suggest that someone begin a series of experiments to see the effect on plant diseases of spraying, say, milk solutions on plant leaves. Wait! A Web search tells me that milk sprays have been tested and are, in fact, effective in controlling plant viruses, powdery mildew and other diseases. In contrast to compost tea, which provides microorganisms but little of the food they need to survive, milk provides a smörgåsbord of nutrients to whatever microorganisms tag along for the ride. On the basis of the evidence, I’d go with milk rather than tea for my plants. And I’ll take my milk without tea. Moving on to something noncontroversial, my first blackcurrants of the season

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY
ripened on June 26 this year. Come to think of it, blackcurrants may not be noncontroversial. Blackcurrants have a strong, very distinctive flavor, loved by some people, abhorred by others. The flavor starts out refreshingly tart as your teeth break the skin and then becomes sweeter and cooling, with a rich, resiny flavor, as you continue. I count myself among the lovers of blackcurrants: right up there with blueberries in my book. Blackcurrants earned a whole chapter in my book, Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden. Although humans are divided on whether or not they enjoy fresh blackcurrants, pretty much everyone loves the fruit concocted into jams and baked goods. They also flavor the liqueur cassis, and I’ve used them to flavor beer. Let’s be clear about the fruit in question. Blackcurrants are not the same fruit as “dried currants.” Those currants are raisins made from dried Black Corinthe grapes – a name that was bastardized to “black currant.” Blackcurrants are borne on medium-sized bushes whose leaves, when brushed against, emit a strong, also-resiny aroma. The leaves are sometimes brewed into tea – for humans, not plants. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
